Remember to email. 30 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: He had a circle of friends with whom he shared 31 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: or received the latest jokes. His grading system for the 32 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: quality of the joke was classic George Bush. The rare 33 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: sevens and eighth were considered huge winners, most of them 34 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: off color. George Bush knew how to be a true 35 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: and loyal friend. He nurtured and honored many his many 36 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: friendships with a generous and giving soul. There exists thousands 37 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: of handwritten notes encouraging or sympathizing or thanking his friends 38 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: and acquaintances. He had an enormous capacity to give of himself. 39 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: Many a person would tell you that Dad became a 40 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 1: mentor and a father figure in their life. He listened 41 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: and he consoled. He was their friend. That was Bush 42 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: forty three, George W. Speaking about his father who, as 43 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: he passed away just a few days ago to day 44 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: of morning today in the country officially laid the president 45 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: to arrest the National Cathedral at a ceremony where former 46 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: former and current presidents, where current president were in attendance. 47 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: And there's a moment of reflection. I think about the 48 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: the end of an eraor not just of George H. W. 49 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: Bush as a man and as somebody who was so 50 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: involved in the history of this country in many ways, 51 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: but also for a certain style and type of leadership. 52 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: The veterans of the Second World War, for example, when 53 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: you think of men like Bob Dole and George H. W. Bush, 54 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, men who served and were part of what 55 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: we consider the Greatest Generation, would still called the greatest generation. 56 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: There is a national reverence for that. That is one 57 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: of the few things these days that feels like it 58 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: somewhat transcends partisan lines, not always, not entirely. And we'll 59 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: talk a bit about some of the unfortunate part is 60 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: in sniping that has occurred as this ceremony was under 61 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: way and in the days leading up to it. But 62 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: it was also one of those moments when you could 63 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: see people who we're all we know best from the 64 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: public stage as politicians, as as leaders, as people of 65 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: service to the nation, but also of power and influence. 66 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: And you know, you saw George Bush today as as 67 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: just a guy who lost his dad, And that was 68 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: first and foremost. What was was coming across during much 69 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: of the eulogy is something that we can all sympathize with. 70 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: Whenever you see somebody who's lost to family member. It's 71 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: at that most basic human level of the emotion that 72 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: you know you would feel or have felt from losing 73 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: a family member in your own life. It's something that 74 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: happens to all of us. It's part of human condition. 75 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: But that inherent suffering that comes with the loss of 76 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: family members is also one of those areas of life 77 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: that in a strange way, it brings us all together. 78 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: It's it's pain that we can all understand and all 79 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: all respect that what that means and what one is 80 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: going through. And along with the celebration, and there were 81 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: celebratory aspects of the eulogy today as well. I mean 82 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: I've I remember I've been to a I went to 83 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: a couple of funerals growing up for peers, friends of 84 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: mine too, in particular that come to mind. That was 85 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: very different in the sense that those funerals, those were 86 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: people who were one was in high school, one was 87 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: in college, and it was a remembrance, and there was 88 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: a celebration aspect of those lives and how they touched 89 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: their family members and their friends. But obviously lives cut 90 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: way too short with George H. W. Bush and doesn't 91 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: get any I mean, a life doesn't get any fuller, richer, 92 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: more impactful than this in many ways. I mean, okay, 93 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: some of you would say, Buck, come on, you know Jesus. 94 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: I mean there are people that yeah, but you know, 95 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: you know, the man just passed away. This is when 96 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: you're eulogizing somebody, you'll say things like it doesn't get 97 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: any life does not get any richer than this, and 98 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: we don't have to actually measure out what lives may 99 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: have been more impactful. Bush forty three also had some 100 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: some more you know, just a regular guy touches that 101 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: he added into things today. Plick clip one at age ninety, 102 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: George H. W. Bush parachuted out of an aircraft and 103 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: landed on the grounds of Saint Anne's by the Sea 104 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: and Kenny Budport, Maine, the church where his mom was 105 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: married and where he worshiped often. I would like to 106 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: say he chose a location just in case the shooting. No. 107 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:10,679 Speaker 1: In his nineties, he took great delight when his closest pal, 108 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: James A. Baker, smuggled a bottle of Gray Goose vodka 109 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: into his hospital room. Apparently it paired well with the 110 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: state Baker had delivered from Morton's to his very last 111 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: Day's Dad's life was instructive, so laughter coming together of 112 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: the people there, and that that part of it was 113 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: all the man. The man got the celebration of his 114 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: life that he deserved today, and I think it was 115 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: it was nice for the country. I had friends who 116 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: went to pay their respects here in DC and we're 117 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: talking about and showing photos and videos of the lines, 118 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: lines stretching so very long. You know, yesterday I spoke 119 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: about how I don't ever like the notion of forced 120 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: reverence for political figures, and I do have concerns about 121 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: the elevation of our political class into something that becomes 122 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: uncomfortably close to a nobility. But that's a broader discussion. 123 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: It's not just brought on by what's happened here with 124 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: George H. W. Bush and the way that people are 125 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: talking about him. And there are ways that that people 126 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: are affected by individuals that they didn't know and never met. That. 127 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I can completely respect. There have been, you know, 128 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: one or two authors that passed away who for me 129 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: I remember a sense of of loss, not deeply personal loss, 130 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: but you know, their work had had enough of a 131 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: of an influence on my life that the recognition that 132 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: they would be no more and there would be no 133 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: more of their words to read. You know that that 134 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: took a moment. You know, some of them gave me 135 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: a you know, Christopher Hitchens was one. I know he's 136 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: rapidly anti religion, but on some issues he was brilliant. 137 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: Michael Crichton, who I've mentioned you before, for pure entertainment purposes, 138 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: I just loved his books, so I can understand that. 139 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: And really also, in a way that might be surprising 140 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: to some of you to hear Anthony Bourdain when he 141 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: took his own life. I read Kitchen Confidential and just 142 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: loved it as a book. And I had all these dreams, 143 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: and maybe that's why these days I want to have 144 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: a little time in my hands. I try. I try 145 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: to do a little more, a little more cooking, you know. 146 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: I like to actually try to see if I can 147 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: make some of these things that I've always wanted to 148 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: learn how to make. But Bourdaine, to me, was was 149 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 1: an example of someone who you assumed that he had 150 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: it figured out. You know, you assume that if you 151 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: wanted to leave your you know, your job that you 152 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: weren't crazy about, if you want to get out of 153 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: the cubicle or just get a you know what, what, 154 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: what better escape could you even imagine than being the 155 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: guy who just goes all of the world, that cooks 156 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: food and eats the food of different cultures and hangs 157 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: out with people in travels. It just seemed like everything 158 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: was And then he took his own life, obviously because 159 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: of tremendous pain that he was feeling that people weren't 160 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: aware of. And I never met the guy, didn't know 161 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: the guy, but that, you know, I know that it 162 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: can send a jolt through you. Just the stories of 163 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: other individuals and the way that they affect us even 164 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: when we don't know them. And for those who knew 165 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: hw Bush, I know this is particularly solemon. For his family, obviously, 166 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: it's a very, very sad. As much as he lived 167 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: a great life, you know, it's sad people lost their dad, 168 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: lost their granddad. I was not able to get to 169 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: the funeral, was not the funeral today or the viewing 170 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: that happened last night in the Capitol Hill, but it 171 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: was certainly able to see a lot of the footage 172 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 1: and speak to friends of mine who made it there, 173 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: and it was incredible how many people came from all 174 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: over the country just to pay their respects. It's a testament, 175 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: I think, to how much the American people still really 176 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: do feel a kinship and connection to their leaders. And 177 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: it's one that I hope we can continue into the future, 178 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: even in this era of feelingly seemingly constant. Feelingly is 179 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: one of those things that maybe that could be a word, 180 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: feelingly seemingly constant contact with everybody in political life and 181 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: now with Twitter and Facebook and all these other aspects 182 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: of it. So with that, I wanted to take a 183 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: moment here to say, Okay, so that's on the plus 184 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: side of US, and then now we have the media 185 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 1: and the usage of this moment in time, the usage 186 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: of this period in the country's history to score political points, 187 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: to bash Trump, to take this and for the most 188 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: narrow self interested purposes, use it as a use the 189 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: passing of hw Bush as a platform for the advancement 190 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: of rapidly anti Trump political views. It is not surprising, 191 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: but that does mean does not mean it is not troubling. 192 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 1: We will get into that and also apologies an advanced team. 193 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: I love doing this show so much and talking to 194 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: you so much that I have to be dragged from 195 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 1: the microphone no matter how ill I am. But today 196 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna be pretty much at the at the 197 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: outer limits of what my voice can handle. I've gotten 198 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,599 Speaker 1: really sick. I knew it was, it was going to 199 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: come on pretty badly, but today it's going to be 200 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: a rough one. So apologies in advance for that. You know, 201 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: give me a day or two. My voice will hopefully 202 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: be back to normal. But if you hear some it's 203 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: going to be in a lower octave or two. You're 204 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: gonna hear some break, some cracks in the voice. I'll 205 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: try not to cough into the Mic, I'm in bad. 206 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: I actually got worse today. Otherwise, if I had in 207 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 1: this bad last night, I would have probably had Raheim 208 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: or Harlan or one of our friends fill in. But 209 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: I will push through. We will have a fantastic show. 210 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: We hold our shields high. Even if we sneeze on 211 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: that shield a little bit and sniffle on it, we 212 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: will hold it high. So we will come back with 213 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: Morris they would be. But what becomes undeniably obvious with 214 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: every bio run about Bush forty one is that stark 215 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: contrast between these two many over the last two years, 216 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: deviancy has continued being defined down by this current president, 217 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: his cronies, his supporters. Oh, Donald Trump is one eighty 218 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: from who George H. W. Bush is. The world looked 219 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: to George Bush because he was a leader, respected, he 220 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: had proved himself. This president has you have to do that. 221 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: This president that we have now is trying to unravel 222 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 1: everything that he did and Obama Jack. I think he's 223 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: doing this because he feels he has to do it. 224 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: I can't help but wonder if there was a thought 225 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: bubble over Donald Trump's head just now what he was thinking. 226 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: I have to imagine who was thinking how much the 227 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 1: big character of the man and contrast with the small 228 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: character we see we see today. George Bush believed in 229 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: the institutions of government, which I think too is another 230 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: reason why this moment to remember and to compare and 231 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: contrast is so important, because our institutions are so under 232 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: siege right now by the government itself. And that is 233 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: why we celebrate George H. W. Bush's legacy and fear 234 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: the next two years of mister Trump's wild White House. Right, 235 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: it's all all an opportunity to bads Trump. The funeral, 236 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: the discussion about the life of George H. W. Bush. 237 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: You know, just take it and pivot and bass Trump. 238 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: You know you got bad weather. Blame Trump, you know, 239 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: no matter what it is, is just blame Trump. That 240 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: that's the that's the secret sauce that the left decides 241 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: to go with here all the time. It's pretty pathetic, 242 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: but I guess they really can't can't help themselves. Um, 243 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: they really do think that this president that they say 244 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: things like destroying all these normsum destroying all these norms. 245 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: And then I was wondering, like how by by using 246 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: Twitter or mean, what what what norms is? What is 247 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: Trump doing that. There wasn't a norm established of sexual 248 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: propriety in the White House that Trump destroyed. Bill Clinton 249 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: destroyed any notion of sexual propriety in the White House 250 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: or you know, proper sexual behavior. So that's not a thing. 251 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: So I don't really want to hear from libs about that. 252 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: And by the way, Trump hasn't done anything bad when 253 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: it comes to that while he's in office. They're just 254 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: you know, there's some allegations of infidelity from his pre 255 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: presidential era, which I would also note, you know, Kennedy 256 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: was a was a complete you know, lady Chase and 257 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: maniac JFK and Teddy too, I mean, all these guys, 258 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: so that that's not really when they're talking about a 259 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: presidency and norm busting and what exactly do they mean. 260 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: I find that a really interesting exercise when you ask 261 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: angry liberals about this, because they never get into specifics. 262 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: You're never told what the thing is that they say, Oh, well, 263 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: he's he says things about a ongoing criminal investigation, and 264 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: then I'll say to them, I had this experience with 265 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: David Frum, who thinks himself as a very erudite and 266 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: thoughtful fellow. He said it's you know, it's it's just 267 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: he's used the word unprecedented, so I do pardon me. 268 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: I took the bait. He said to me, it's unprecedented 269 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: what Trump is doing here speaking about an ongoing investigation. 270 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: I said unprecedented, as in Barack Obama saying there's nothing 271 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: to Hilary's email investigation while she's running for the presidency. 272 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: Rock Omama said that there's nothing to it. So it's 273 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: not unprecedented, and it's not a standard that Trump is destroyed. 274 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: So what are the standards that Trump is destroyed by 275 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,479 Speaker 1: fighting back against the media. I played the clip for you. 276 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: George H. W. Bush told Dan rather than rightfully so, 277 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: that he had nothing to be proud of that night, 278 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: that he was trying to go after him on TV. 279 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: So you know what is is this is just an 280 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: echo chamber. It's an echo chamber of people in the 281 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: establishment media who view Trump as a threat to them, 282 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: and they preferred the era of hw Bush because he 283 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: adhered to these rules that allow the media to get 284 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: away with all kinds of things. Here's another person over 285 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: at CNN and play fifteen. While President Trump's name was 286 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: never said in any of the speeches, the tributes to 287 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: former President Bush. Every word, every adjective, every anecdote stood 288 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: in stark contrast to this presidency. And I think we're 289 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: going to be talking a lot about that. And and 290 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: I genuinely don't think it was intentional at this general. 291 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: I think it was just describing the late president for 292 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: forty first president, and it is it is what it 293 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: is correct when it in making the tribute, it was 294 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 1: another time, another person, and it couldn't have been more stark. Well, 295 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: they're the ones making this comparison, but you know, every 296 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: word is in contrast to Trump, and I don't think 297 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: that that's I don't think that's true. And I also 298 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: don't think that everything has to be about Trump all 299 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: the time. I mean, maybe that's just me. Maybe I'm 300 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: naive and thinking that we can have a conversation about 301 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: something that is not Trump related with the media at 302 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 1: some point in time. But also they were you know 303 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: that you can't leave this out. They trash Push forty 304 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: one trashed and when he was president, oh, you know, 305 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: they constantly he was you know, he was uh, he 306 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: was a plutocrat, and he was a warmonger. You know, 307 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: he was stiff, He was boring, he was this, he 308 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: was that. You know, they weren't, they weren't favorable. This 309 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: this after the fact nostalgia for Republicans, whether it's McCain 310 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: or Bush forty one, this is just opportunism from the 311 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: establishment media, just using these as baseball bats to go 312 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: after the Trump administration. And you know, I wish these 313 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: people had some honor, some dignity, some integrity so they 314 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't feel the need to do this all the time. 315 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: But we know that they do. We know that they do. 316 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: We'll talk about Flynn and Muller and the probe coming 317 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: up here in a moment. That and more. Team. If 318 00:19:46,760 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: you're right back, he's holding the line for America, buck 319 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: sext in his back. Unlike any other club that's nearly 320 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: as exclusive as this one, they don't get to pick 321 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: their members. We do. This is a very very different 322 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: group of people, and yet we have decided to bring 323 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: them together in this fraternity and it, you know, something 324 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: changes about how they relate to each other. And you 325 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: sort of saw that, you know, what did you make 326 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: of the dynamic once you saw it? Well, one thing 327 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: that was tricky, I think is that if there's a 328 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: mission of that group. It is to protect the institution 329 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: of the presidency. When you have a new number of 330 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: this club who has taken a blowtorch to the institution, 331 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: and not by accident, quite intentionally. It's the promise he 332 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: made when he ran. So this is someone on MSNBC 333 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: who's the former editor or editor of Time magazine in 334 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: case you didn't know how liberal Time magazine was, and 335 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: Je Prouser mic grab this one for me in the 336 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: break is a perfect sample of it. Taking a blowtwards 337 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: to the institution, the presidency. This is something that that 338 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: stupid people in the media say to sound smart. What 339 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 1: does that mean? How taking a blow towards how you know? 340 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: The criticisms that I had of the Obama administration of 341 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: Obama himself were criticisms of generally things he did or 342 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: policies he was pushing for. It wasn't I just don't 343 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: like the way Obama is in general acting about you know, 344 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: his day to day blow towards to the institution the presidency. 345 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: That's quite a charge to make, isn't it. I would 346 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: like some specifics. And what I always notice is when 347 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: I've asked liberals and this, I get the chance to 348 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: do this on The Hill Show. Sometimes, can you just 349 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: give me some specifics of what backs up this assessment 350 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: that you have. They tend to be indignant, They tend 351 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 1: to be outraged, very very upset about just what exactly 352 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: I'm what am I getting at? You know, I said, well, 353 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna say that the president is 354 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: destroying the presidency, I just I just wish you could 355 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: give me some examples of how he's doing that that 356 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: don't involve conspiracy theories and fantasies about Russia collusion or 357 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: other things that normal sane people don't put any stock in. 358 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: And that then makes me think about Russia collusion. Here 359 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: here you go. There, there's there's different views of this 360 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: out there, you know what I want to Even you 361 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: had tube In over at CNN and Flynn over not 362 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: Flynn mud over at CNN. They're all saying, oh, you know, 363 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 1: the other shoe is gonna drop. You know the other 364 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: shoe is not gonna drop. But speaking of dropping things, 365 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: they won't drop this this hoax. They won't let it go. 366 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: We got Greg Jared joining later on to talk about 367 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: the specifics of the Muller probe from this week, including 368 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: the Flynn, no jail time recommendation and all that, And 369 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: I'll get into some of that just a moment here. 370 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: And I'm also gonna in this break drink copious amounts 371 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: of t I'll be right back. Remember James Comey, Director 372 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: of the FBI, fire, Deputy Director McCabe lied three times 373 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: under oath, fired, Chief Council to the FBI Jim Baker demoted, 374 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: then left. FBI Council Lisa Page demoted then left, and 375 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: Deputy Head of Counterintelligence Peter Struck demoted then fired. But 376 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: even those five people thought Mike Flynn didn't lie when 377 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: he was interviewed by the FBI. Only Bob Muller did. 378 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: And now this is what happened. So we got to 379 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 1: keep this in context. The top people to the FBI 380 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: all demoted, left or fired, who launched and ran the 381 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: Clinton investigation, launched and ran the Russian investigation, put the 382 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: fake dossier in front of the fire suc court to 383 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: get a warrant to spound the Trump campaign. Even they 384 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: didn't think Mike Flynn lied when he was being interviewed 385 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: by the FBI. And now Bob Mueller is saying he 386 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: should get the most lenient sentence possible, but they still 387 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: have the information he gave him. We'll find out what 388 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: that is when we get the unredacted version. I agree 389 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:03,959 Speaker 1: wholeheartedly here with everything him Jordan's saying. General Flynn should 390 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: be fully pardoned. No question about that. Flynn should be pardoned. 391 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: And I have no inside track on this, but I 392 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: thoroughly believe that Flynn will be pardon I believe President 393 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: Trump will will clear him legally of any lasting now. 394 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: He still has been essentially bankrupted, his reputation has been 395 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: greatly damaged. But at least he will not have to 396 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: live his life as a felon. He will not have 397 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: to live his life with that March after thirty years 398 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: of serving his country. A non an unimportant and minor lie, 399 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: if a lie at all, told the people that under 400 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: the circumstances. I don't even think Flynn really knew. We're 401 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 1: trying to ask him questions that could later, you know 402 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: that he could turn around and be prosecuted for I 403 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: thought he's just speaking to f behind guys. You know, 404 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: he works to them all the time. You know, I 405 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: do wonder about this. When I was in the CIA, 406 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: I mean you know I was, I was a federal 407 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 1: an officer of the federal government in some way. So 408 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: if somebody the CIA lied to me, could I you know, well, 409 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: I guess I'm not a part of a criminal proceeding, 410 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: and I don't know. I just wonder where the where 411 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: the boundaries are here. I mean, so if you're in 412 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: law enforcement, if you're in federal law enforcement, even lies 413 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: to you, you you can prosecute them, even if it's 414 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: for something that's really really unimportant, which is what happened here. 415 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: I don't I don't even think Flynn lied. I think 416 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: that they just jammed him up. And the fact that 417 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: they're giving him no jail time, I believe that it's 418 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: not because of his cooperation. I think it's because Mueller 419 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: essentially turned Flint upside down, wrung out his pockets, you know, 420 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: really really did everything he could and didn't get anything 421 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: and doesn't want to add to the sense of outrage 422 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: that those of us who have any sense of justice 423 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: or decency feel at what was done to General Flynn. 424 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: That's where I think this really this is a that's 425 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: where I think this all comes together. That's what is 426 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: pushing some of this. But you know, we also and 427 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan spoke about this, and I think it's important 428 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: for us all to remember there is this sense that 429 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: there's a two tier justice system, that Democrats and Republicans 430 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: are not treated the same way and should not expect, unfortunately, 431 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: because of the history, to be treated the same way 432 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: when they are highly politicized investigations. And that's also you 433 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: know what the whole Hillary fiasco shows us. There's no 434 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: serious person who could say that Hillary Clinton did not 435 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: receive orders of magnitude better treatment, more favorable treatment from 436 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: the federal government investigating her very real violation of the 437 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: US Federal Statute, which she did. So, not only was 438 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: she treated much more gently in the investigative process, she 439 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: got away with committing crimes. And on the other side, 440 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: you have somebody like General Flynn who was treated as 441 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: harshly as possible in terms of at least bringing charges 442 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: and putting him through all of this and didn't even 443 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: commit a crime. Jim Jordan understands this. Plack Cliff nine, 444 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: James Comey was saying he didn't want to come testify 445 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: him in a closed door session with Congress because it leaks. 446 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: This is the guy who leaked the information to the 447 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: New York Times to create the momentum for the special counsel. 448 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: So come on, there's two standards, one for us regular folk, 449 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: a different set if you're part of the political establishment. 450 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: That's what drives Americans crazy. It's true, It's true. You know, 451 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: James come who still thinks of himself as the most 452 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 1: honest man in the country. Mean, he's really delusional. He's 453 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: a pretty scary guy. He's not going to face any 454 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: consequences for this. I don't think McCabe is going to 455 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: face any consequences for his lies under oath. And you know, 456 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: if there is, if there is a deep state, I'm 457 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: sorting to think more forget about these people that are 458 00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 1: in this anti Trump cabal that we're trying to take 459 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: him down, although that's certainly is arguably a deep state 460 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: on its own. The deep state is at the federal 461 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: government has been infiltrated with a mentality that Democrats should 462 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: be treated you know, the federal bureaucracy, I mean, has 463 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: now been overwhelm with people who believe that Democrats should 464 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: be treated better and differently when it comes to matters 465 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: of the justice system than Republicans. That's a very dangerous 466 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: thing for the future of this country. That's something that's 467 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: not going to be easy for anyone to shake off. 468 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: And it's just it's been such a disgrace as this 469 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: has played out. Do you have not had you know, 470 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: how is this possible? You have not had a single, 471 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: a single Democrat get caught up in any of this, 472 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, not a single you know, to be a 473 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: Democrat who faces, you know, in the Muller probe. I mean, 474 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: there's no Democrats that Mueller's gone after. You know, maybe 475 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: Alexvander's one, and he's not a US citizen though, but 476 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: not everybody else. It's been Republicans that he's he's been 477 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: tagging left and right that he's been getting And you 478 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: can't ignore that when you look back at what went 479 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: on with Hillary Clinton and the aids around her, and 480 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: the way that they were always just given all these 481 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: opportunities to just speak with lawyers president and I know, 482 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: not really have anyone interrogate them. And they wrote it 483 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: was with The fix was in. It was in from 484 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: the very beginning. As you know, Matt Gates, who's a 485 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: member of Congress, he sees this for what it is 486 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: play clip eleven. We would not even be talking about 487 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: Michael Flynn right now, if it were not for the 488 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: initial interviews he did with wait for it, Peter Struck, 489 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: the very same Peter Struck who had the insurance policy 490 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: against the Trump presidency, the same Peter Struck who said 491 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: no will stop him, and most importantly, the same Peter 492 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: Struck who, when talking to his girlfriend ten months into 493 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: this investigation, after Michael Flynn's story had already been told, 494 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: was saying, there's no they're there. There's no evidence of 495 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: collusion with Michael Flynn or President Trump or anyone else. 496 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: This whole thing is a joke. Michael Flynn won't be 497 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: facing any prison time, but he would have faced no 498 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: legal jeopardy at all if he just wouldn't have pled guilty, 499 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: because they would have never gotten a conviction with Peter 500 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: Struck as their star witness. He raised a very good point. 501 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: Peter Struck was the one. I mean, you know the 502 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: FBI just remember this is a huge place. Okay, They've 503 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: got tens of thousands of agents and personnel. Notice how 504 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: at every key node in the Russia collusion and Hillary 505 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: email fiasco, the same names pop up. Struck Page, McCabe, Coomy, 506 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: Struck Page, McCabe, Kobe. These people are the ones you know, 507 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: Bruce or Sally Yates. They are involved in all these 508 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: different touch points. They're the ones that are in the 509 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: excuse me, they're the ones that somehow are in the 510 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: most important point of access and have the most leverage 511 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: on these issues. That's not an accident. It's not an accident. 512 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: And that's Struck one thing that I would like to 513 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: know and I need to look into this. Did struct 514 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: just take notes because a lot of times FBI A 515 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: didn't do that. They take notes of the conversation, they 516 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: don't record the conversation. If that's the case, then we 517 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: have somebody who is a admitted clear anti Trump, hyperpartisan 518 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: with Peter Struck, who was sitting down with the National 519 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: Security Advisor to be for the Trump administration, and based 520 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: on his note taking, which is really just his good word, 521 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: whatever he decided to write down, you had the felony 522 00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: indictment of a three star general, Lieutenant General Flynn. Our 523 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: two star general was the three star two star Pardon me, 524 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: I might have gotten that one wrong, but you know 525 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: he's lieutenant general. So that's I think very important for 526 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: everybody to recognize as well that there's been the same 527 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: characters involved at different points in this whole process, these 528 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: same characters who are obviously anti Trump, and we're supposed 529 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: to ignore this somehow, We're supposed to pretend that this 530 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: hasn't all been fixed in a way that's meant to 531 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: harm the Trump administration, to harm his people. Here's what 532 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: Mark Penn says about the Flinn situation play ten. The 533 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: Independent Council's Office, instead of getting people to sing, is 534 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: getting people to plead guilty to things so that they 535 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: can build a circumstantial case against the president in a report, 536 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: completely misusing the judicial process. Now, look, nineteen interviews. Would 537 00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: someone suggests that maybe you didn't like what he had 538 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: to say in the first ten is that is an 539 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: incredible number of interviews. So he got somebody wind up 540 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: and let's all relax here. If in fact General Flynn 541 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: was colluding with the Russians, he wouldn't be getting no 542 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: prison time. That that means, on its face, he was 543 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: not colliding with the Russians. He's absolutely right, Flynn obviously 544 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: wasn't including with Russians, because there's no way he would 545 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: skate with no prison time, even on the false statements. Charger. 546 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: That was okay. So, so Flynn didn't do anything wrong 547 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: with regard to Russia collusion. That that's clear. You know, 548 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: there's really no sound counter argument to that. But you know, 549 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: who definitely did something wrong, you know, who definitely violated 550 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: the law in an egregious and clear fashion. Whoever leaked 551 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: the contents of that Flynn conversation. That person, I'm sorry, 552 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: whoever leaked the contents the conversation with Ambassador kissel Yak 553 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: the Russian Ambassia. That person, by the way, had a 554 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: knowledge of the law. That person was obviously deeply anti 555 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: Trump and had high level access, high level classified access. 556 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: There are not that many people who fit into those categories. 557 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: There are not that many people that they would have 558 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: to look at in order to track down who was 559 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 1: guilty of that violation of their oath to the country 560 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: to protect classified and violation of criminal law, which is 561 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,879 Speaker 1: no question. That's I mean, if you're going to leak 562 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 1: signals intelligence to a news reporter to settle political scores, 563 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: you know, you'll you'll do anything. I mean, it's such 564 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 1: a betrayal. Where's that person? You know, do we think 565 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: that Muller has spent any time looking into that made 566 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,959 Speaker 1: any criminal referrals he and about that now, of course 567 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: not this is a Democrat, obviously, it's probably somebody senior 568 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: at the DOJ. I could throw out a few guesses, 569 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: and I won't go too far. There a few names 570 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 1: that come to mind, though, people that are anti Trump zealots, 571 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 1: some who maybe even took anti Trump stand at one 572 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: time or another very publicly at duj FBI. But they 573 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: have no interest in that. They have no interest in 574 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: protecting classified projecting sources and methods. This is all a 575 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: get Trump operation. And the fact that they haven't tracked 576 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,240 Speaker 1: out any of the criminal leagues about Rusia collusion except 577 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: for one involving a guy with a staffer on the Hill, 578 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: and I think a New York Times reporter that he 579 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: was having an affair with. By the way, then there's 580 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: that there's not much interest at all, is there in 581 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,879 Speaker 1: getting to the bottom of this. This is a dark 582 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: time for our country. I mean, when the Department of 583 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: Justice can be weaponized in this way, when people can 584 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: look at their fellow Americans, whether it's on TV or 585 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: members of Congress and act like this investigation it is 586 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:15,240 Speaker 1: not just the rage of the scorned pro Hillary Left. 587 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 1: We're no longer living in a place, We're no longer 588 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: in a time when we can find common ground, at 589 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 1: least on this issue, probably on a whole lot of 590 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: other issues too. We are facing into the abyss of 591 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: a legal system that has been weaponized against one side, 592 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: and that weaponization process they hope will reach its completion 593 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 1: in the destruction of the Trump presidency, if not through 594 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: criminal indictments, that at least through a report from Mueller 595 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: that will serve as the basis for impeachment. Impeachment that 596 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: I think we all know Democrats are pretending right now 597 00:36:54,440 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: is not inevitable, but it would be almost as big 598 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,320 Speaker 1: a shock as the twenty sixteen election to me if 599 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: they didn't impeach Trump the end of the year, Which 600 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 1: means that I know you're thinking about holidays, Christmas gifts 601 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: and all that, but if you're a business owner or 602 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: you work in the HR department, guess what you've also 603 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 1: got to think about new employees. Right, You're gonna be 604 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,240 Speaker 1: doing a fair amount of hiring and filling and staffing 605 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: and all that stuff coming into the new year. You 606 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 1: want global verification network to be there for you to 607 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 1: run all those background checks. You got to have background 608 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 1: checks done for any employee you're bringing in, no matter 609 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 1: how large or small your company, and no matter what 610 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,360 Speaker 1: the size of the contract for that vetting. Global Verification 611 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: Network has got you covered. They are the boutique, veteran 612 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 1: owned and operated background investigation company out there. You need 613 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: to check them out. They have risk mitigation experts headquartered 614 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: in Chicago, but with offices throughout the country.

Call eight seven seven six nine five one 618 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: seven nine again that's eight seven seven in six nine 619 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 1: five seven nine, or go to MYGVN dot com. It's 620 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 1: MYGVN dot com. I've looked at this report and yes, 621 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: everybody's going to focus on what has been redacted, but 622 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,359 Speaker 1: let's look at what's not in there. There is no 623 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 1: suggestion that Michael Flynn had anything to do with collusion. 624 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,359 Speaker 1: He was with the transition team, he was part of 625 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: the campaign, and yet there's no mention of collusion. I 626 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,439 Speaker 1: think it's good news for President Trump tonight that this 627 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: is what has come down to. Even though they said 628 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 1: he substantially cooperated. I think he's substantially cooperated to say 629 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: that there was no collusion, and we can look at 630 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 1: it with that in mind. Interesting theory. There no jail 631 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 1: time recommended for Flynn. But where are we in this 632 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: whole Russia collusion situation. We've got somebody that can really 633 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: break it all down for us. We have with us, 634 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett. He is a Fox News legal analyst and 635 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,439 Speaker 1: author of the book which you should all check out, 636 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: The Russia Hoax, The Elicits Schemes to clear Hillary Clinton 637 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: and frame Donald Trump. Greg jares with us now. Greg, 638 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 1: Thank you, hey Buck, Great to be with you all right, man? 639 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,800 Speaker 1: What do you what do you make an apologies for 640 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: my raspy voice here. What do you make of this 641 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 1: latest series of events this week? Is it let's starve 642 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 1: at the Flynn no jail time but substantial cooperation? What 643 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,479 Speaker 1: do you see in those documents? What's it all telling you? Well? 644 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 1: The word cooperation is one of those wonderfully fungible terms. 645 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 1: Cooperation can simply mean he agreed to talk to us 646 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 1: immediately and try to be as forthcoming as he possibly could. 647 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that he actually was able to provide 648 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: anything that is incriminating whatsoever towards Donald Trump in this 649 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 1: so called collusion investigation. Collusions also, you know this amorphous 650 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: crime that doesn't really exist in the criminal codes. Is 651 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: it some sort of conspira recy coordination with Russians. Well, 652 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: this memo reveals none of that, and in fact just 653 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: the opposite. The memo itself makes no mention of collusion. 654 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 1: The addendum, which is roughly five pages long, is heavily redacted, 655 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: but you can tell from how it's laid out and 656 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: set up two things that Flynn offered assistance on two subjects. First, 657 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 1: he contributed something that's unidentified in a criminal case not 658 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: handled by the Special Council, So that tells us it's 659 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:44,280 Speaker 1: not directly collusion related because it's handled not by Muller. Second, 660 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: Flynn seems to have answered questions about the Trump transition 661 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:55,919 Speaker 1: teams conversations with foreign governments, including Russia. But that can't 662 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,840 Speaker 1: be collusion either to win the election, because the election 663 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: was already over. So it's a bit of a mystery 664 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: as to what is contained in the redactions. But I 665 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: think it's evident to me and others that there's not 666 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 1: much evidence of collusion being provided by Flynn, and what 667 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: do you take from the lack of any I mean, 668 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: we've had a few people already go down for the 669 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: process crimes of lying over during the course of an 670 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:28,359 Speaker 1: investigation about no actual criminal conduct, right, Papadopoulos, Alexander Zuan. 671 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 1: There's been a few of them. Papadopolis got two weeks. 672 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: Flynn looks like it's gonna get nothing. Do you do 673 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 1: you gauge that more as a function of Mueller thinking 674 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,839 Speaker 1: that the cooperation was just so exceptional or is that 675 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 1: also Mueller maybe not wanting to kick the hornet's nest 676 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 1: even more? Because I think people realize that the FBI 677 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,320 Speaker 1: did Flynn dirty on this one. I mean this was 678 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 1: a setup. I mean there was a classified week and 679 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 1: then the claim of the Logan Act to get this 680 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,919 Speaker 1: whole thing going. I mean, this is as as much 681 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 1: a coordinated political hit is anything I can think of. 682 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:08,319 Speaker 1: Flynn should never have been prosecuted by Robert Muller and 683 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: his assembled team of partisans. Why Because the FBI agents 684 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:18,240 Speaker 1: who interviewed Flynn concluded that he was telling the truth. 685 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: That was confirmed by both James Comey and his debuty 686 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 1: Andrew McCabe when they were interviewed by congressional investigators. The 687 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: truth is, had Robert Muller been forced to prove his 688 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 1: case against Flynn and Cord, he would have lost. He 689 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: probably would have lost the case against Papadopolis as well. 690 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: Why because the law requires that a false statement be 691 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:50,240 Speaker 1: made willfully and knowingly. That's a very difficult thing to prove. 692 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:55,280 Speaker 1: If somebody's recollection of a conversation happens to be different 693 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 1: than a transcript of the conversation, or different than how 694 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,400 Speaker 1: the fb I or Muller interprets it, that's not a crime. 695 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:10,319 Speaker 1: But you know, Muller applied enormous pressure on Flynn to 696 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,879 Speaker 1: admit to lying, when in fact Flynn never lied, and 697 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: in fact Flynn became broke trying to pay his legal fees. 698 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 1: And what was really unconscionable is that Mueller threatened to prosecute, 699 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:29,960 Speaker 1: based on no evidence, Flynn's own son. So Flynn finally 700 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:34,759 Speaker 1: surrendered under the intense emotional strain in monetary pressures, which 701 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,840 Speaker 1: is really a shame. It's wrong, it's unconscionable for Muller 702 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:45,359 Speaker 1: to behave that way. Now, the Cohen Plea also got 703 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,839 Speaker 1: some attention this week. What what what can you tell 704 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 1: us about how you how you read that and what 705 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 1: comes next? Well, Michael Cohen is a prodigious liar in 706 00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:03,400 Speaker 1: a tax cheat and he played guilty because he wants 707 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:08,719 Speaker 1: leniency in his sentencing treatment. You know, this is the 708 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,760 Speaker 1: trouble when the government, Robert Mueller in this case, decides 709 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 1: to get in bed with a known liar and criminal. 710 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 1: For all we know, Michael Cohen is lying about his lies. 711 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,280 Speaker 1: So we I mean he is not a credible witness. 712 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:31,680 Speaker 1: And in fact, because Mueller is going ahead with sentencing, 713 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,480 Speaker 1: it means he will never call Cohen as a witness 714 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,319 Speaker 1: in anything. So you know, Cohen, in my judgment, is 715 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:43,719 Speaker 1: also a total zero when it comes to collusion. You know, 716 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 1: he can talk about payments which are perfectly legal under 717 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 1: the Federal Campaign Election Act, to women who said they 718 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:58,960 Speaker 1: had affairs with Donald Trump, not a crime. What do 719 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: you think about By the way, everyone, we're speaking to 720 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett, author of the Russia hoax, the illicit schemes 721 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 1: to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump. Judge Napolitano, 722 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,800 Speaker 1: your colleague, Overt Fox said earlier today, quote, I expect 723 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 1: Donald Trump Junior to be indicted. Do you agree with 724 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: that assessment? Disagree? Well, given Muller's behavior of criminalizing conduct 725 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 1: that is not remotely criminal, that's altogether a possibility. You know, again, 726 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: Flenn's a perfect example. He didn't lie, he didn't commit 727 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 1: a crime, but Mueller prosecuted him. Neverthe last So as 728 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 1: I you know, I spent an entire chapter in my 729 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,920 Speaker 1: book The Russia Hoax explaining how the Trump Tower meeting 730 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,319 Speaker 1: violates no law. You know, it's not a crime to 731 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:56,360 Speaker 1: talk to a Russian lawyer or any Russian for that matter. 732 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 1: Take a look at the Federal Election Commission website. Foreign 733 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:05,920 Speaker 1: nationals may participate in American campaigns as long as they 734 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:10,480 Speaker 1: don't receive money or donate money. So to have a 735 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 1: conversation with a Russian lawyer who purportedly is going to 736 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 1: give you information about Hillary Clinton, you know, that's just 737 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:23,280 Speaker 1: not a crime. So we'll wait and see what Mueller does. 738 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:27,960 Speaker 1: But you know, he is the kind of unprincipled, unscrupulous character, 739 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 1: Mueller who would try to weaponize and criminalize that which 740 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:39,319 Speaker 1: is not truly under the law of crime. Do you 741 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:43,359 Speaker 1: think that this is winding down? And if so, could 742 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 1: you tell us why? Because I've been hearing that for 743 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,800 Speaker 1: quite a while, and obviously it has not been true 744 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: for quite a while, because this thing still drags on. 745 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,320 Speaker 1: Are we going to be in you know, springtime, still 746 00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:02,880 Speaker 1: talking about whether Mueller's got the goods? It's altogether possible. Sure, 747 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 1: These independent councils and special council investigations tend to drag 748 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:17,719 Speaker 1: on well beyond their merits. We certainly saw that in Whitewater, 749 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,280 Speaker 1: which went on to the better part of four years 750 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:26,759 Speaker 1: and then ended up accusing the President Bill Clinton then 751 00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,000 Speaker 1: of something that had nothing whatsoever to do with the 752 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:35,799 Speaker 1: original mandate. So there's no telling when Muller and his 753 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,840 Speaker 1: team of partisans will end this thing. They should have 754 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 1: ended it long ago. There's not a whiff of evidence 755 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:46,800 Speaker 1: that Trump ever had some conspiracy or coordination or collusion 756 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:51,200 Speaker 1: with Russia to win the election. None zero, And it 757 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,879 Speaker 1: should have ended there. And in point of fact, Muller 758 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:59,280 Speaker 1: should never have been appointed because under the federal regulation, 759 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,399 Speaker 1: you can only point of special counsel if there's some 760 00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:08,120 Speaker 1: evidence of a crime first. And Lisa Page, who was 761 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:12,719 Speaker 1: the top FBI lawyer on the Russia investigation, testified two 762 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:17,239 Speaker 1: months ago that during entire time the FBI had the case, 763 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:22,799 Speaker 1: they never found any evidence of collusion. So this has 764 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,800 Speaker 1: been with Robert Muller, an investigation in search of a crime, 765 00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:31,480 Speaker 1: which were versus a bastardizes the legal process and turns 766 00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 1: the federal regulations on their head. And as for the 767 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 1: Hillary component of all this, in your book, the scheme 768 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 1: to clear Hillary Clinton is she cleared in the sense 769 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,680 Speaker 1: that this is never going to really be thoroughly investigated. 770 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I think a lot of people wonder when 771 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,879 Speaker 1: you have the President saying, for example, that he may 772 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:58,160 Speaker 1: drop information about the origins of the Russia investigation in 773 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:04,080 Speaker 1: order to fight back against the Muller squad of partisans. 774 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 1: You know that the president obviously is a guy who's 775 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:07,959 Speaker 1: willing to roll up the sleeves and get a little 776 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 1: bare knuckle when he has to. Why not look into 777 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 1: the Clinton Foundation? Why not? Do? I've heard a little 778 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 1: bit of that coming back. But do you think that 779 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,839 Speaker 1: will actually be a factor. It will only be a 780 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 1: factor when the Senate confirms a new attorney general who 781 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:33,319 Speaker 1: will present the evidence of Hillary Clinton's alleged crimes to 782 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,960 Speaker 1: a grand jury. And there is a mountain of evidence 783 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:43,840 Speaker 1: that she violated one hundred and ten times the Espionage Act. 784 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 1: She did it through willful and knowing and intent. She 785 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,520 Speaker 1: did it through gross negligence. She could be prosecutored under 786 00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 1: two provisions of that Act. She also destroyed records that 787 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 1: were under subpoena, you know that, substruction of justice, and 788 00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:08,040 Speaker 1: several other crimes. Her foundation plenty of evidence to present 789 00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:11,800 Speaker 1: to a grand jury that she engaged in hey to play. 790 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:16,799 Speaker 1: That's corrupt. It's a violation of six federal felony statutes. 791 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,920 Speaker 1: If there is sufficient evidence, that should be presented to 792 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,440 Speaker 1: a grand jury. So we'll wait and see who the 793 00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:29,520 Speaker 1: new Attorney general is. It's really quite tragic that Jeff Sessions, 794 00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 1: who was incompetent and feckless, never reopened the case. He 795 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:39,279 Speaker 1: should have. The Russia Hoax, The illicit schemes to clear 796 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:43,160 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump, is the book.

I know I 823 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:08,239 Speaker 1: was asking you all for phil Hin host. I was 824 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 1: thinking for the Christmas holiday, but I might I might 825 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,800 Speaker 1: need one a little bit before that. I might not. 826 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,360 Speaker 1: I might not make it through it in tomorrow. I 827 00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,400 Speaker 1: think tomorrow might be the day that my voice is 828 00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 1: totally shot. If I know. The progression of this kind 829 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,160 Speaker 1: of a cold that I've had in the past also 830 00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,880 Speaker 1: makes me think I should probably get the flu vaccine. 831 00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,879 Speaker 1: What do you think, Brandon? Are you a flu vaccine guy? 832 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,680 Speaker 1: Do you get it? I rarely get sick, so no, 833 00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,440 Speaker 1: look at you. What's your secret not to rub it in? 834 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:38,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's okay rub it touch everything in 835 00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,879 Speaker 1: New York City, so I'm immune. Oh so you think 836 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 1: you take the perspective of because you're exposed to stuff 837 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 1: all the time, you have a very hearty immune system. 838 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 1: That's what I think it is. If I get sick, 839 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 1: it's just for a day and maybe have a lingering cough. 840 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,440 Speaker 1: But you're for me. My Achilles heal is. If I 841 00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:58,120 Speaker 1: don't I don't get enough sleep, I get sick. So 842 00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,439 Speaker 1: you know that's if if I go a night with sleep, 843 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 1: I end up for whatever reason. I'm just I'm like 844 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,839 Speaker 1: a no go oh man, you know it's early too 845 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,239 Speaker 1: usually I'm making into January before I get sick, but 846 00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 1: now it's December. Every year, this this summow, this summow 847 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,319 Speaker 1: happens to me. And I was thinking, you know, if 848 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,040 Speaker 1: I had more energy and more of a voice, maybe 849 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,839 Speaker 1: I'd start a conversation about vaccines in general. But I'm 850 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,480 Speaker 1: just kidding. I know, I know, I don't want to. 851 00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,879 Speaker 1: Don't don't change the dial. I'm not going to talk 852 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:26,920 Speaker 1: about vaccines. I promise we're gonna have a speaking of 853 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:30,239 Speaker 1: guest house. We're gonna have Raheim joining us here in 854 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,439 Speaker 1: just a few minutes, So Raheem is going to drop 855 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:37,720 Speaker 1: all kinds of knowledge about all things, all things related 856 00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:42,920 Speaker 1: to the U. N migrants packed. You know, the United 857 00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 1: Nations is now trying to weigh in on how countries 858 00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:49,799 Speaker 1: should treat their migrants. And you know what the what 859 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,400 Speaker 1: the basic standards are supposed to be for you know, 860 00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,719 Speaker 1: multicultural education for your own population. So when you bring 861 00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:59,479 Speaker 1: in migrants, you know this is if you look back 862 00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:05,000 Speaker 1: in history population flows. Yes, there's been a lot of 863 00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:08,239 Speaker 1: the history of humanity has been a history of migrations, 864 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:12,200 Speaker 1: that's true, but it hasn't been a smooth or easy process. 865 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:17,000 Speaker 1: It often has coincided with war, with famine, with you know, 866 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:22,879 Speaker 1: people tend to move in large numbers for reasons of desperation, 867 00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:29,200 Speaker 1: and those who have to embrace newcomers in large numbers 868 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:34,919 Speaker 1: all at once tend to have friction with them. And 869 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:36,920 Speaker 1: if you go back to the various periods in US 870 00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:40,320 Speaker 1: history where there were big inflows of migrants, because contrary 871 00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:42,640 Speaker 1: to what you're told by that mainstream media all the time, 872 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:46,400 Speaker 1: we've the history of immigration to America has been and 873 00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about settlers and in the colonial period. 874 00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,560 Speaker 1: I mean, we know, once we actually had immigration policy 875 00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,960 Speaker 1: has been you know, the faws, it gets turned on, 876 00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:58,840 Speaker 1: the faws, it gets turned off. You know, we taken 877 00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 1: a lot of immigrants, then we up, then we've taken 878 00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,239 Speaker 1: a lot of immigrants, and then we stop. And that's 879 00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:07,279 Speaker 1: allowed for assimilation. But in those periods, whether it's you know, 880 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:13,320 Speaker 1: the Italians, the Irish, Jewish immigrants, Polish immigrants, there's been 881 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,200 Speaker 1: there's been some bumps along the way, let's just put 882 00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:20,400 Speaker 1: it that way. I think back to what a hotbed 883 00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:29,520 Speaker 1: of Marxist and anarchist ideology Chicago was in the eighteen eighties. 884 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,600 Speaker 1: It was all function of all the immigrants coming in 885 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:37,200 Speaker 1: from Europe, and the labor issues between owners and between 886 00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 1: management and laborer igo in Chicago factories that you know, 887 00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:47,080 Speaker 1: that led to you know, all kinds of social upheaval 888 00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 1: and even some some outbreaks of violence here and there. 889 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,000 Speaker 1: You know. So this process it's not going to be 890 00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:56,919 Speaker 1: easy no matter what. And I think it's it's time 891 00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,320 Speaker 1: for us to at least have a more more honest 892 00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,040 Speaker 1: conversation about this. I mean, that's the thing the multiculturalists 893 00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:06,120 Speaker 1: just don't understand. They think that if only the host 894 00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,279 Speaker 1: nation is more accepting, then everything gets a lot better 895 00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,800 Speaker 1: and a lot easier. But it's it's not that simple. 896 00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:13,920 Speaker 1: You know. One thing I thought about today is I 897 00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,320 Speaker 1: went into my office and I'm one of these people 898 00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:20,000 Speaker 1: who I'm always stuck between. You know, Brandon, where do 899 00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:21,759 Speaker 1: you come down on this? We gotta right hem In 900 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:23,799 Speaker 1: a mill moment, he's gonna drop a whole bunch of 901 00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:27,439 Speaker 1: knowledge and analysis. But should you when you're not feeling well? 902 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,759 Speaker 1: Are you a tough guy for doing your job and 903 00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:32,880 Speaker 1: not letting your team down by showing up to do 904 00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:37,640 Speaker 1: your work? Or are you typhoid mary infecting everybody? Get 905 00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:39,400 Speaker 1: the heck out of the office. Which one is it. 906 00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,359 Speaker 1: I usually side with tough guy. But if you're, you know, 907 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,359 Speaker 1: leaking mucus and vomiting, I think you should stay home. 908 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,759 Speaker 1: You're not really doing anybody is, So it depends on 909 00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:53,360 Speaker 1: the sickness. I'm glad you're in DC. Put it that way, 910 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,600 Speaker 1: and I mean, yes, exactly right. I'm far away from you. 911 00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,040 Speaker 1: So you don't think I could cough. It's not gonna 912 00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:59,480 Speaker 1: it's not gonna hit you. That would be quite That 913 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:02,239 Speaker 1: would be quite a cough. There is much wisdom from 914 00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:06,280 Speaker 1: DJ Brandon on this issue. Speaking of wisdom, Rahim Kassam 915 00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:10,680 Speaker 1: up next to drop some should this caravan had been 916 00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:14,120 Speaker 1: stopped at the Guatemala border. Of course I agree with 917 00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:17,160 Speaker 1: that one hundred percent. I should have the country habit 918 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:22,200 Speaker 1: to beb with of these people because they have people, 919 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,479 Speaker 1: they have bad people, because they don't belong here. They're 920 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,280 Speaker 1: just migrants. But it's like the same in the same case, 921 00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:32,560 Speaker 1: it's like when Mexican migrants going to the US, they're undocumented. 922 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,200 Speaker 1: You know of incidences here in Tijuana and in other 923 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 1: cities that some of these people that are coming into 924 00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:41,440 Speaker 1: these with these caravans are committing crimes. This is not 925 00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:44,640 Speaker 1: about racism. We don't dislike a certain group of people 926 00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,560 Speaker 1: because they're from a country, one country or another. We 927 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:52,320 Speaker 1: are here because our government has not taken control of 928 00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:57,000 Speaker 1: these what we call invasion. We got a bunch of 929 00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:01,880 Speaker 1: Mexicans there talking about a bunch of Central Americans who 930 00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,760 Speaker 1: are part of this caravan, and Simon a lot like 931 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 1: Republicans or even Trump himself. Pretty amazing, isn't it. What 932 00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:14,000 Speaker 1: is the truth of immigration right now and sovereignty international borders, 933 00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,120 Speaker 1: or what's the conversation we should be having about it. 934 00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,480 Speaker 1: Our friend Rahim Kassam is with us now. He's, of 935 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,880 Speaker 1: course a guest host on this program. He's also a 936 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 1: Claremont fellow and author, a political strategist. Mister Rahem, good 937 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,640 Speaker 1: to have you back, sir, Well, thanks for having me. Bud. So, 938 00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:31,360 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about this, this piece you 939 00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:36,160 Speaker 1: wrote in the Daily Caller about the UN combat. You said, 940 00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:38,360 Speaker 1: major countries don't want to part of this UN compact 941 00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,280 Speaker 1: on migration. I mean, we're dealing with their own migration 942 00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:43,680 Speaker 1: crisis right now at the border with the caravan, and 943 00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,600 Speaker 1: there's more caravans to come. Let's talk about this un 944 00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,720 Speaker 1: compact first, on migration. What what is this and what 945 00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:54,440 Speaker 1: do we need to know? Well, that's the point. You know, 946 00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:58,520 Speaker 1: you're dealing with your own migration issues. You already have 947 00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:05,000 Speaker 1: a you know, supposedly a sovereign government constituted of different entities, 948 00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 1: you know, different different chambers h in most Western democracies. 949 00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:15,840 Speaker 1: But the United Nations wants to add further complication to 950 00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:20,600 Speaker 1: that has published as of this summer what it calls 951 00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:24,960 Speaker 1: the Compact on Migration. That's the that's the short title. 952 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:29,480 Speaker 1: The long title is about fifty fifty words long, as 953 00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:33,720 Speaker 1: as with any of these supernational entities, and and you know, 954 00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:37,959 Speaker 1: the whole thing is effectively just jargon. Uh it's it's 955 00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:43,640 Speaker 1: It says in thirty eight pages plus what could be 956 00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:45,840 Speaker 1: said in one page, what probably could be said in 957 00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:49,720 Speaker 1: one sentence, and that is that the United Nations feels 958 00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:55,160 Speaker 1: like it should assume immigration policy for almost every single 959 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:59,400 Speaker 1: nation around the world. It gets to set the expectations 960 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:03,280 Speaker 1: of national government. It also gets to set the regulations 961 01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:08,320 Speaker 1: on both public and private sector entities as goes immigration. 962 01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,040 Speaker 1: So just a few things that I picked up, I mean, 963 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,840 Speaker 1: my daily quarter pieces only about eight hundred words long. 964 01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,680 Speaker 1: I could have gone for about five or six thousand, 965 01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:21,440 Speaker 1: sort of picking into the detail of this of this report. 966 01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:24,760 Speaker 1: But some of the things they mentioned are things like 967 01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 1: speeding up the visa processes for migrants, developing regular migratory 968 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:36,120 Speaker 1: flows into Western nations. And who has to pick up 969 01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:40,160 Speaker 1: the tab for all of these things. It's the Western taxpayers. 970 01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:42,720 Speaker 1: It's people like you and I and people out there 971 01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,280 Speaker 1: in the country who have to pay more into their 972 01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:49,400 Speaker 1: national governments and more into their immigration departments all over 973 01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:53,040 Speaker 1: the world so that migratory flows can be sped up, 974 01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,840 Speaker 1: because that, according to the United Nations, it would be 975 01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:59,919 Speaker 1: against the human rights of migrants if they're either held 976 01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,200 Speaker 1: at a detention center or they don't get immediate access 977 01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:07,720 Speaker 1: to finance and welfare and education. So this compact has 978 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:09,920 Speaker 1: been put together over the last couple of years, really 979 01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:17,240 Speaker 1: precipitated by the European migrant crisis. And you know what 980 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 1: they're doing now is trying to rush this through at 981 01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:25,200 Speaker 1: a December eleventh and twelfth meeting in Marrakesh. Luckily, President 982 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:30,560 Speaker 1: Trump and they Ambassador Nicky Haley to the United Nations 983 01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,960 Speaker 1: said last year that the United States wouldn't be a 984 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,680 Speaker 1: part of it. And now you've got other major countries 985 01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:40,160 Speaker 1: dropping out. Poland is dropping out, Austria is dropping out, 986 01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,520 Speaker 1: Hungary is dropping out, Italy is dropping out. And just 987 01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:48,120 Speaker 1: today a petition to the British Parliament reached one hundred 988 01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:52,200 Speaker 1: thousand signatures in the United Kingdom, which immediately triggers a 989 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:57,600 Speaker 1: parliamentary debate. The petition was against the UK signing the compact. 990 01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:00,960 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of pressure from uh, you know, 991 01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:04,880 Speaker 1: the populist countries and nationalist countries all around the world 992 01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:10,800 Speaker 1: and their populations to not sign this, this this Migrant Compact. Yeah, 993 01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,520 Speaker 1: it seems like if you're going to if you're going 994 01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:19,200 Speaker 1: to decide you're outsourcing key components of immigration policy to 995 01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:23,560 Speaker 1: the supernational body that is the United Nations, it feels 996 01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,680 Speaker 1: like claims of national sovereignty start to ring a little 997 01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:29,160 Speaker 1: bit hollow. I mean, if you if you can't determine 998 01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,600 Speaker 1: who and how under what circumstances people come into your country, 999 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,520 Speaker 1: if you're going to let that be chosen by committee 1000 01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:39,320 Speaker 1: by all the other countries involved in this compact, clearly 1001 01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,720 Speaker 1: there's a there's a loss of sovereignty that results from that. 1002 01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you know so so, but there's pushback in 1003 01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:49,200 Speaker 1: the UK against this as well, right, even even in 1004 01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:53,720 Speaker 1: the United Kingdom, absolutely, where we have become so very 1005 01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:56,320 Speaker 1: um very less say fair about our politics, given what's 1006 01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:59,120 Speaker 1: happened with Breaksit over the last couple of years. But yeah, 1007 01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 1: there is there is bag It's it's it's really interesting 1008 01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:06,360 Speaker 1: to me because the document itself mentioned several times over 1009 01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:11,360 Speaker 1: you know, this isn't supposed to impose upon nation states sovereignties, 1010 01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:14,040 Speaker 1: and then it sort of ends those lines with as 1011 01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:18,320 Speaker 1: long as they adhere to the Migrant Compact and within 1012 01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:21,840 Speaker 1: the realms of international law. Not once does it ever 1013 01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:26,240 Speaker 1: give any deference to say, the Constitution of the United States, 1014 01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:29,680 Speaker 1: or the Constitution of Italy or the constitution of the 1015 01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:33,760 Speaker 1: United Kingdom. It just says, within the realms of international law. Well, 1016 01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:35,720 Speaker 1: you know, you and I both know there's really no 1017 01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,720 Speaker 1: such thing as international law. International law is a very 1018 01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:41,840 Speaker 1: sort of liquid concept. It changes all of the time, 1019 01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,840 Speaker 1: depending on you know, who the bureaucrats and who the 1020 01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:49,080 Speaker 1: paper bushes are in the supernational entities, who we should 1021 01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:52,520 Speaker 1: change them. And you know, I looked at this in depth. 1022 01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:54,920 Speaker 1: I realize a lot of people won't have looked and 1023 01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,600 Speaker 1: looked at this in depth. But there's a very serious 1024 01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,919 Speaker 1: conversation to be had about the United Nations and its 1025 01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:04,680 Speaker 1: policies towards a migration because at the moment they're spending 1026 01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:09,680 Speaker 1: about six billion dollars a year on purely on migration 1027 01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:13,560 Speaker 1: and refugee issues. And when you consider that the United States, 1028 01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:17,640 Speaker 1: the US taxpayer picks up about twenty two percent of 1029 01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:21,520 Speaker 1: the annual United Nations budget. Well, it's one thing that 1030 01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,360 Speaker 1: President Trump opted out of this migrant Compact last year, 1031 01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:27,080 Speaker 1: but it's a whole another thing that US taxpayers are 1032 01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:31,680 Speaker 1: basically paying for assaults on sovereign nation states all around 1033 01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:33,760 Speaker 1: the world with this. So I think the State Department 1034 01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,400 Speaker 1: and the Trump administration needs to go back to the 1035 01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:38,560 Speaker 1: United Nations and say, look, as long as you keep 1036 01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:41,280 Speaker 1: doing this stuff, we're going to start whittling down our 1037 01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:44,840 Speaker 1: UN contributions over and over again. Yeah, it is kind 1038 01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:49,200 Speaker 1: of amazing that you have so much of the UN's 1039 01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:52,880 Speaker 1: bills paid for by America, therefore by the taxpayer. And 1040 01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,880 Speaker 1: yet there's always this sense within the UN. And I 1041 01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,520 Speaker 1: was actually friends years ago with a UN corresponding who 1042 01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:01,240 Speaker 1: was just east out of the UN. There's always a 1043 01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:04,080 Speaker 1: sense within the UN that, you know, America is like 1044 01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:07,280 Speaker 1: the rogue step child, the rogue step child that like 1045 01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:10,960 Speaker 1: pays for everything, but but is not really treated with, 1046 01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:13,880 Speaker 1: you know, quite the same degree of love and respect 1047 01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,680 Speaker 1: that we should to put it mildly. And then also 1048 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,160 Speaker 1: just an issue of immigration in general. You know, we're 1049 01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:24,280 Speaker 1: we're always being forced to focus on, for example, a refugee, 1050 01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:26,800 Speaker 1: how many refugees we take in? Is it fifty thousand? 1051 01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:28,840 Speaker 1: Is a thirty thousand? And you know Trump with extreme 1052 01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,880 Speaker 1: vetting that became a big political issue for a while. 1053 01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,520 Speaker 1: Now with the caravans of the border, we take in 1054 01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:37,320 Speaker 1: a million people a year and make them either citizens 1055 01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:40,480 Speaker 1: or permanent residents of America who had not been previously. 1056 01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:44,760 Speaker 1: Million a year year after years. No other country in 1057 01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:46,720 Speaker 1: the world does this, and it's like no good deed 1058 01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:52,560 Speaker 1: goes unpunished. M Well, I was just say, buck, it's 1059 01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:56,600 Speaker 1: really is worth reminding ourselves that when when Americans are 1060 01:05:56,640 --> 01:06:03,640 Speaker 1: consistently called ungenerous or Trump is called, you know, xenophobic 1061 01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:08,240 Speaker 1: or whatever, the United States still takes in more refugees, 1062 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,720 Speaker 1: more migrants of that persuasion than any other Western country 1063 01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:14,520 Speaker 1: in the world. And it's worth remembering that when you 1064 01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:18,000 Speaker 1: see all of these lectures from Emmanuel Macron or the 1065 01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:21,000 Speaker 1: European Commission that America must play its part, and so 1066 01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:22,640 Speaker 1: on and so forth, and you have just In Trudeau 1067 01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:26,120 Speaker 1: just north of the border, you know, grandstanding virtue signaling 1068 01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:28,960 Speaker 1: on his own. The United States is still the number 1069 01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:31,720 Speaker 1: one destination and still takes in the most number of 1070 01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:36,000 Speaker 1: people of any major Western economy. And and you know, 1071 01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,120 Speaker 1: for the United Nations to come out and do this now, 1072 01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:43,280 Speaker 1: I think is incredibly poorly timed. When you have strong governments, 1073 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:47,880 Speaker 1: strong nationalistic governments in Europe, in Italy and Hungary and Poland, 1074 01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,720 Speaker 1: and you have Trump in the White House. You know, 1075 01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:54,440 Speaker 1: my hope is that on December the eleventh and twelve, 1076 01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,640 Speaker 1: the things that gets laughed out of the shop. But 1077 01:06:57,680 --> 01:06:59,200 Speaker 1: they've been working on this for some time and it 1078 01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:03,520 Speaker 1: won't be the last fear of it. Rahm. What's your 1079 01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:10,200 Speaker 1: take on how Trump is doing these days? Well, unfortunately, 1080 01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:13,400 Speaker 1: the unvarnished truth is that he can't really do that 1081 01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:15,600 Speaker 1: well nowadays. He's not in a position to do that 1082 01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:17,760 Speaker 1: well at the moment. I mean, the next two years, 1083 01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:21,240 Speaker 1: you know, you've got him having to just have constant 1084 01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 1: fires overboorder hall funding. Effectively, that's that's what the next 1085 01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:27,680 Speaker 1: two years are going to be, you know, characterized by 1086 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:33,200 Speaker 1: the administration itself. You know, I cannot understand for the 1087 01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:36,880 Speaker 1: life of me how Mike Pompeio, Secretary of State, can 1088 01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:39,680 Speaker 1: go to Russells and declare that Trump is building a 1089 01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:43,320 Speaker 1: new liberal world order. That was precisely what the elector 1090 01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:46,640 Speaker 1: in the United States voted against. They wanted that sort 1091 01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:51,320 Speaker 1: of liberal order assailed and taken down a peg or 1092 01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,840 Speaker 1: two because it did lead to things like the European 1093 01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:57,280 Speaker 1: Commission and the European Union and the United Nations effectively 1094 01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,280 Speaker 1: dictating policy. Don't forget it nearly led to you guys 1095 01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:04,840 Speaker 1: joining the Transpacific Partnership. And you know, when you look 1096 01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:08,760 Speaker 1: at who the appointees are at the moment in places 1097 01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,800 Speaker 1: like the State Department. Mary Kissel, a recent one, for example, 1098 01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:14,640 Speaker 1: who came from the Wall Street Journal board, is an 1099 01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:18,920 Speaker 1: avowed neo conservative, is an avowed fan of the liberal order, 1100 01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:21,880 Speaker 1: spent most of her time during the twenty fifteen and 1101 01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:26,920 Speaker 1: sixteen election cycle insulting candidate Trump at the time, and 1102 01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,160 Speaker 1: she is now Mike Pompey of senior adviser and writes 1103 01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,720 Speaker 1: his speeches and writes policy. So it's it's it's a 1104 01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:36,240 Speaker 1: disturbing time for truemaga folks of which I count myself, 1105 01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:39,720 Speaker 1: and I don't I don't necessarily see it getting better. 1106 01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:41,680 Speaker 1: It's it's just going to be a long drawn out 1107 01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:45,040 Speaker 1: two years. Now. Do you think Trump can win if 1108 01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:51,720 Speaker 1: there's doesn't build the wall? Well, you know, it's one 1109 01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:54,479 Speaker 1: fact that he really has to hope that the economy 1110 01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:56,479 Speaker 1: is in good shape in two years time. You know, 1111 01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,680 Speaker 1: a lot of the financial people that I talk to, 1112 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:03,040 Speaker 1: not the sort of renowned experts like the Krugman's and 1113 01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:04,920 Speaker 1: all these guys who get things wrong all the time, 1114 01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:06,960 Speaker 1: but the people who do get things right and don't 1115 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,720 Speaker 1: get Trumpets blown about them, they are worried that this 1116 01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:14,880 Speaker 1: is going to turn into a global economic crisis in 1117 01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:16,679 Speaker 1: the next couple of years. It maybe in two years, 1118 01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,160 Speaker 1: it maybe in five years. Nobody can quite figure out 1119 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,360 Speaker 1: when that when that bubble is going to burst. And 1120 01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:24,759 Speaker 1: if if he goes into the twenty twenty election cycle, 1121 01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:28,000 Speaker 1: even if the wall is partly built, or you know, 1122 01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:30,719 Speaker 1: the funding is secured, or even if it's holy built, 1123 01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:32,639 Speaker 1: people are going to look to the economy to make 1124 01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:35,080 Speaker 1: up their minds over over whether this President's been a 1125 01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:38,400 Speaker 1: success and and you know it's fifty fifty at the moment, 1126 01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:42,920 Speaker 1: it's it's really up in the air. Rahim Kasam, everybody, 1127 01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,040 Speaker 1: if you have not checked out his book, No Go Zones, 1128 01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:48,200 Speaker 1: highly recommend it to you. And you'll hear Rahim on 1129 01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:50,080 Speaker 1: this show again soon. Fill it are hem. Great to 1130 01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:55,360 Speaker 1: have you back. Thanks Bud. All right, team, we get 1131 01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:57,040 Speaker 1: a lot more show coming your way. I always good 1132 01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:59,320 Speaker 1: to hear from Rahim. Such a such an advantage to 1133 01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:01,160 Speaker 1: out the cool act accent. I gotta say, maybe I 1134 01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,280 Speaker 1: should just come up with an accent of my own 1135 01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:05,479 Speaker 1: to do on the show, you know, just show up 1136 01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,120 Speaker 1: and I was like, hello, my name's Buck. I've got 1137 01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:11,479 Speaker 1: a funny accent. Now that's not a cool assigning accent though, 1138 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:13,960 Speaker 1: right like Raheem's accent adds gravitas and people want to 1139 01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:15,760 Speaker 1: listen to them. I'd have to come up with one 1140 01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:17,599 Speaker 1: of those. Or I could just go with the fact 1141 01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:19,760 Speaker 1: that right now my voice is too registers lower than 1142 01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:23,439 Speaker 1: it usually is. Maybe maybe that adds some degree of gravity. 1143 01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:26,000 Speaker 1: Task but this is you what the border is not 1144 01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:29,000 Speaker 1: getting any better. This is not going away anytime soon. 1145 01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,719 Speaker 1: In fact, as I've been telling you, I've been hearing 1146 01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:37,360 Speaker 1: that there may be an effort for a coordinated overrunning 1147 01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:39,720 Speaker 1: of the border. I'll talk to you more about that, 1148 01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:42,800 Speaker 1: and just a moment, stay with me. Just people came 1149 01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:48,479 Speaker 1: are coming violently, unrespectfully, not as a good law abiding citizen, 1150 01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:52,160 Speaker 1: and that's what's hurt us. It's not all of them, 1151 01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:55,679 Speaker 1: but yes, a lot of them are not really nice 1152 01:10:55,720 --> 01:11:00,080 Speaker 1: people who want to work, who want to integrate to 1153 01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:04,760 Speaker 1: our economy. They're just troublemakers. We had to bring him 1154 01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:07,400 Speaker 1: over here because the neighbors from from that from that 1155 01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:10,360 Speaker 1: part of town, if it's called Tikuana, it's like Tiquana 1156 01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,920 Speaker 1: by the sea. They were getting mad and they they 1157 01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:16,640 Speaker 1: even started throwing stones out at each other. So we 1158 01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:20,160 Speaker 1: catamore here like twe hundred and sixty teams got out 1159 01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:23,639 Speaker 1: of hand because it kept growing and growing. That's from 1160 01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:27,680 Speaker 1: people who are actually spending time near the caravan. That 1161 01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:33,720 Speaker 1: was a Tijuana Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel and Tijuana City 1162 01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:37,920 Speaker 1: Councilman Gennaro Lopez talking about what it's done to their 1163 01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:41,799 Speaker 1: city to have these six thousand people who are living 1164 01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:46,719 Speaker 1: in right now and unsafe, unsanitary conditions because they're waiting 1165 01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:49,800 Speaker 1: for their moment to get across the border. And I 1166 01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:51,640 Speaker 1: want to just give you a little bit of this 1167 01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,400 Speaker 1: New York Times piece on this, because I'll take a 1168 01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,040 Speaker 1: different approach to it than, of course the Times does. 1169 01:11:57,080 --> 01:12:00,799 Speaker 1: But the title is with us Soil achingly close decision 1170 01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:04,920 Speaker 1: time for caravan migrants, And they say the thirty migrants 1171 01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:06,760 Speaker 1: were huddled under a tree on a cold night as 1172 01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:10,840 Speaker 1: an American government helicopter hovered overhead, its searchlights sweeping the 1173 01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,960 Speaker 1: tree boughs and the hard earth around it. From where 1174 01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:16,320 Speaker 1: they crouched, the man, women and children could see American 1175 01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:19,400 Speaker 1: soil on the yards away on the other side of 1176 01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:23,120 Speaker 1: the tall border fence separating Mexico from the United States. 1177 01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:26,800 Speaker 1: They had come to jump the fence, but so many 1178 01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:30,679 Speaker 1: things perplexed them. What if they got caught? If they did, 1179 01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:34,120 Speaker 1: could they apply for asylum? Would children be separated from 1180 01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,959 Speaker 1: their parents? Was it possible to run to San Diego? 1181 01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:42,360 Speaker 1: And then they spoke at one individual, Mister Garcia nodded 1182 01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:45,760 Speaker 1: toward the border fortifications of a nation whose present did 1183 01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:48,840 Speaker 1: not want him to enter. Quote, there's got to be 1184 01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:53,280 Speaker 1: a weak spot. Notice what you're being told here in 1185 01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:55,720 Speaker 1: this piece. Now, now they're writing this, of course as 1186 01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:59,200 Speaker 1: a very sympathetic portrait of people just seeking a better life, 1187 01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:02,840 Speaker 1: and that's true of many people in the caravan, But 1188 01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:04,720 Speaker 1: it's not just the US president doesn't want them, and 1189 01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:08,519 Speaker 1: it's actually US law that does not want people to 1190 01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:11,960 Speaker 1: come into the country illegally. And for those who keep 1191 01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:14,920 Speaker 1: saying they're claiming asylum, they're scamming the asylum process. They 1192 01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:17,080 Speaker 1: are committing fraud, and then the fraud is not enforced. 1193 01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:20,640 Speaker 1: That's what's really happening, because when their asylum claim does 1194 01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:23,000 Speaker 1: not go through, then they are in the country illegally, 1195 01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:27,519 Speaker 1: So that's the scam. But they're stuck at this border. 1196 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:29,599 Speaker 1: They're stuck at the fence. Why, oh, that's right, because 1197 01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:33,519 Speaker 1: there is a barrier. There are all these photos of 1198 01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:37,320 Speaker 1: people at this border fence and they cannot get to 1199 01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:40,280 Speaker 1: the other side of it. Wait, but I thought we 1200 01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:43,559 Speaker 1: were told that walls don't work. I thought that people 1201 01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,800 Speaker 1: who believe in walls are so dumb and that that's 1202 01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:49,320 Speaker 1: just foolish. That's silly to think that a wall will 1203 01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:53,599 Speaker 1: do anything. Well, if that's the case, then I need 1204 01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:55,840 Speaker 1: somebody to explain to me. Why is it that you 1205 01:13:55,920 --> 01:14:01,280 Speaker 1: have all of these different migrants gathered together at the 1206 01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:05,559 Speaker 1: wall and not able to get across. The New York 1207 01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:09,280 Speaker 1: Times piece here is really an advertisement for build an 1208 01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:12,720 Speaker 1: even bigger wall that covers the whole border. If you 1209 01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:15,080 Speaker 1: want to get into the Christmas spirit and drink some 1210 01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:18,080 Speaker 1: delicious coffee while you're doing it, I've got an idea. 1211 01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:21,439 Speaker 1: Get yourself some Black Rifle coffee and hook somebody else 1212 01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:24,600 Speaker 1: up in your life with a Black Rifle Coffee subscription. 1213 01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:27,120 Speaker 1: I'm a subscriber.

You've got 1230 01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:32,200 Speaker 1: a couple of things going on here in terms of 1231 01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:38,080 Speaker 1: US response to Russia first year courtesy of Fox News. 1232 01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:42,320 Speaker 1: The US Navy warship sailed in waters claimed by Russia 1233 01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:45,479 Speaker 1: in the Sea of Japan earlier today, as tensions increase 1234 01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:49,280 Speaker 1: of the Trump administration's decision to withdraw from a decades 1235 01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:54,080 Speaker 1: old Arms Control treaty. Spokesperson for the Pacific US Pacific 1236 01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:59,400 Speaker 1: Fleet says, the guided missile destroyer USS mccampbell sailed in 1237 01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:01,880 Speaker 1: the vicenter of Peter the Great Bay, which is the 1238 01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:04,680 Speaker 1: body of water off the Russian ports city of Vladivostok, 1239 01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:09,640 Speaker 1: to challenge Russia's excessive maritime claims and uphold the rights, freedoms, 1240 01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:13,280 Speaker 1: and lawful uses of the sea enjoyed by the United 1241 01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:16,760 Speaker 1: States and other nations. So you know, this is a 1242 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:19,880 Speaker 1: this is a show in the flag thing, right, This 1243 01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:27,200 Speaker 1: is intended to send a message. This is intended to 1244 01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:31,280 Speaker 1: make sure that the Russians know that we expect, we 1245 01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:37,800 Speaker 1: expect there to be no Russian interference with freedom of 1246 01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:40,120 Speaker 1: navigation these waters. And you know that, I also think 1247 01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:44,040 Speaker 1: I saw earther day there's we might be sending a cruiser. 1248 01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,759 Speaker 1: We're doing something right now with regard to showing Russia 1249 01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:53,519 Speaker 1: are just pleasure over the Ukraine situation. So with all 1250 01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:58,599 Speaker 1: these things going on, with all these different shows of strength, 1251 01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:00,519 Speaker 1: saber raveling, whatever you want to call and I'd just 1252 01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:05,280 Speaker 1: like to take a moment to think about, how, you know, 1253 01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:10,200 Speaker 1: I remember in the early days of the Trump administration 1254 01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:15,519 Speaker 1: and in the campaign phase as well, one of the 1255 01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:20,200 Speaker 1: things that was perplexing to some and especially for some Republicans, 1256 01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:22,320 Speaker 1: some conservatives, was maybe a bit of a surprise, a 1257 01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:25,080 Speaker 1: break with the past. Was that Trump was saying that 1258 01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:29,559 Speaker 1: we weren't going to get entangled in other people's stuff, 1259 01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:32,320 Speaker 1: that we weren't going to be in the position that 1260 01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:37,040 Speaker 1: or add to our woes in places like Afghanistan and 1261 01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:41,840 Speaker 1: other places there where we've become way too involved in 1262 01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:47,959 Speaker 1: either propping up another country, rebuilding its infrastructure, essentially creating 1263 01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:51,479 Speaker 1: a new country. You know, we've come to this decision now. 1264 01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:54,920 Speaker 1: I think, after a couple of decades or close to 1265 01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:58,719 Speaker 1: a couple of decades of we're in Afghanistan, US military 1266 01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:02,160 Speaker 1: operations in the Middle East, that we can't make everything 1267 01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:07,000 Speaker 1: our problem, and that this is this is a very 1268 01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:11,920 Speaker 1: important principle that I think conservatives increasingly embrace, because this 1269 01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:17,120 Speaker 1: world that we were led to believe could be shaped 1270 01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:20,960 Speaker 1: more in our image by US military force, it just doesn't. 1271 01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:23,760 Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way. It doesn't end up being 1272 01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:28,639 Speaker 1: the case. It's not possible to take some of these 1273 01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:32,680 Speaker 1: countries and to make them the representative democracies that we 1274 01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:35,120 Speaker 1: would like to see. It's not possible to make them 1275 01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:39,560 Speaker 1: build civil societies and have decent rule of law and 1276 01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:43,160 Speaker 1: human rights, and perhaps a lot more. To the point, 1277 01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:47,400 Speaker 1: it's certainly not the obligation shouldn't be the obligation of 1278 01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:51,080 Speaker 1: the United States military and the American people to send 1279 01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:54,920 Speaker 1: our young men and women in uniform all over the 1280 01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:58,200 Speaker 1: world to fix the problems of other countries. And this 1281 01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:03,800 Speaker 1: is why I get so frustrated with the Kashogi situation. 1282 01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:07,639 Speaker 1: You know, because you have both Russia and Saudi Arabia 1283 01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:13,360 Speaker 1: now have become very prominent in the talking points of 1284 01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:16,120 Speaker 1: a lot of anti trumpers. The idea of being a 1285 01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:20,960 Speaker 1: Trump is so favorable to He's so favorable to those 1286 01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:25,479 Speaker 1: who are despots who rule with an iron fist, and 1287 01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,439 Speaker 1: the Trump likes those kinds of people. You know, they're 1288 01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:31,280 Speaker 1: saying now with Mohammed bin Salmon, that we should probably 1289 01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:36,479 Speaker 1: take action against him personally, take specific action against the 1290 01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:38,479 Speaker 1: Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. And to that, I just say, 1291 01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:40,519 Speaker 1: if we're going to do that, what do we do 1292 01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:45,920 Speaker 1: about the leader of Russia? And really, if we're going 1293 01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:50,280 Speaker 1: to hold the leader of a country responsible for terrible 1294 01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:54,599 Speaker 1: human rights violations, execution of dissidents. I mean, since we're 1295 01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:58,600 Speaker 1: having this conversation, what about Schijianping, what about China? You 1296 01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:02,840 Speaker 1: have one a million wagers that are estimated to be 1297 01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:12,240 Speaker 1: in these Chinese re education camps. You have people routinely imprisoned, 1298 01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:15,920 Speaker 1: torture disappeared who are critics of the regime in China. 1299 01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:18,800 Speaker 1: It's not reported on very much here, in part because 1300 01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,640 Speaker 1: we don't have a lot of access to the information, 1301 01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:25,880 Speaker 1: but I would rather us all have Again, apologies for 1302 01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:29,679 Speaker 1: my voice, guys, it's really I've been trying to try 1303 01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:31,519 Speaker 1: to push through. But as you can tell, it's it's 1304 01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:37,120 Speaker 1: it's in rough shape. It's it's really not possible to 1305 01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:40,639 Speaker 1: establish a principle that we're not going to deal with 1306 01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:45,280 Speaker 1: bad foreign leaders because of one act or many acts 1307 01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:51,639 Speaker 1: and uphold that standard without dramatically upending US foreign policy 1308 01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:55,280 Speaker 1: in our relationships with other countries. And so what I've 1309 01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:59,840 Speaker 1: been thinking lately is that we should extend this idea. 1310 01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:04,160 Speaker 1: We can't militarily fix all these other countries too. We 1311 01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:07,759 Speaker 1: also can't put it on our shoulders to be the 1312 01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:11,240 Speaker 1: moral arbiter of how all these other states act and 1313 01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:13,960 Speaker 1: are dealing with their own citizens all the time. Yeah, 1314 01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:17,920 Speaker 1: we can sure, strong rhetoric is nice, but the most 1315 01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:20,519 Speaker 1: important way that America leads is by example and by 1316 01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:24,280 Speaker 1: the prosperity that we don't just enjoy at home, but 1317 01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:27,960 Speaker 1: that we spread all over the world with our technology, 1318 01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:31,479 Speaker 1: with our free markets, with our rule of law. You know, 1319 01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:36,000 Speaker 1: we are an example and also a security blanket for 1320 01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:37,559 Speaker 1: the rest of the world. But that doesn't mean that 1321 01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:41,759 Speaker 1: we're supposed to run around and be responsible for every 1322 01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:48,920 Speaker 1: for writing or avenging every atrocity that is committed. And 1323 01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:53,519 Speaker 1: I would just like to see in my adult life, 1324 01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:55,360 Speaker 1: because I was thinking about this today, I have it's 1325 01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:56,960 Speaker 1: never been the case. I would like to have a 1326 01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:00,680 Speaker 1: period where America is not at war at all. We 1327 01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:03,880 Speaker 1: are still in Afghanistan, we still take losses there, we 1328 01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:09,040 Speaker 1: are still militarily involved in Rock. I've never lived in 1329 01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:12,200 Speaker 1: I've never lived in America as an adult because nine 1330 01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:15,200 Speaker 1: eleven happened when I was in college. I've never been 1331 01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:17,519 Speaker 1: a full functioning adult out in the real world in 1332 01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:23,519 Speaker 1: America that was not deployed in foreign theaters with ongoing 1333 01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:29,080 Speaker 1: military operations. And I think that that's that's that's troubling. 1334 01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:32,679 Speaker 1: I think that we should increasingly accept that the world 1335 01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:37,080 Speaker 1: is a nasty and dangerous place, and unless US interests 1336 01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:43,120 Speaker 1: are under threat, unless the US is in some way threatened, 1337 01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:48,519 Speaker 1: we should not feel this obligation to always be trying 1338 01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:52,600 Speaker 1: to uphold these standards that that really also come and go. 1339 01:22:52,680 --> 01:22:57,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at how friendly Obama was toward, 1340 01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:03,559 Speaker 1: for example, the regime in Cuba, an absolute thugocracy, an 1341 01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:07,559 Speaker 1: island prison that for decades has been a thorn in 1342 01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:09,760 Speaker 1: the side of all US policy in the Caribbean and 1343 01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:11,439 Speaker 1: really around the world. In many ways, I mean, the 1344 01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:16,000 Speaker 1: Cubans were effectively operating as a ford operating base for 1345 01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:19,080 Speaker 1: the KGB for as long as the Soviet Union was around. 1346 01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:24,560 Speaker 1: And obviously the Cuban Revolution was won by Castro and 1347 01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:30,320 Speaker 1: the Obama administration and the Democrat the Democrats before before Trump, 1348 01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:34,360 Speaker 1: they took a very favorable view of what was going on. 1349 01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:39,040 Speaker 1: They took a view that we should stretch out our 1350 01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:41,840 Speaker 1: hand and we should make ourselves as much as we can, 1351 01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:48,240 Speaker 1: not allied with, but on a pathway to better relations 1352 01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:50,840 Speaker 1: with the Cuban regime without any change. And there's human 1353 01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:53,840 Speaker 1: rights positure or that any change in the number of 1354 01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:57,160 Speaker 1: people who had been tortured and killed. There's a lot 1355 01:23:57,200 --> 01:24:00,559 Speaker 1: of brutal murders that go on in Cuba the order 1356 01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:03,479 Speaker 1: of order of the Castle regime, right, So you know, 1357 01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:07,320 Speaker 1: this is why I mean, the complexities of foreign policy 1358 01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:10,240 Speaker 1: allow all the pundits and people that are involved in 1359 01:24:10,240 --> 01:24:11,640 Speaker 1: the stuff to talk about it all the time. And 1360 01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:13,360 Speaker 1: as I said, they'd like to talk about it because 1361 01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,559 Speaker 1: they think it makes them sounds smart, you know, And 1362 01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:18,479 Speaker 1: this is this is why a lot of people that 1363 01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:21,360 Speaker 1: you know go on to you. They I always feel 1364 01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:23,080 Speaker 1: like they're showing off the last thing they just look 1365 01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:26,040 Speaker 1: up on Wikipedia about you know this or that treaty 1366 01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:29,639 Speaker 1: or tribe or whatever it may be. I just wanted 1367 01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:34,400 Speaker 1: America that doesn't get pulled into more of this and 1368 01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:37,639 Speaker 1: that the Kashogi stuff I'm hearing from Lindsay Graham about 1369 01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:39,840 Speaker 1: how we really were effectively going to pick a fight 1370 01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:43,240 Speaker 1: with Saudi Arabia over this, or that we're going to 1371 01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:48,360 Speaker 1: do more than just assist Ukraine with support, but we're 1372 01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:51,400 Speaker 1: going to back them up militarily if Russia we're to 1373 01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:53,920 Speaker 1: get aggressive. I mean, you know the answer if someone's 1374 01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:57,400 Speaker 1: going to pose this to me, you know, if Russia 1375 01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:01,240 Speaker 1: invades Ukraine, do we go to war with Russia? For me, 1376 01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:04,679 Speaker 1: the answer is no. We should all be very clear 1377 01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:08,799 Speaker 1: about that. Is the Koshogie murder enough that we should 1378 01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:13,280 Speaker 1: abandon our relationship with Saudi Arabia and therefore allow Iran 1379 01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:16,360 Speaker 1: to push its advantage across the Middle Least I say 1380 01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:19,519 Speaker 1: to that also, the answer should be no, because we 1381 01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:21,560 Speaker 1: have to live in the real world. I got a 1382 01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:23,479 Speaker 1: lot of people that are telling me, Buck, I'm tired 1383 01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:26,120 Speaker 1: of all the bias I see from the left on 1384 01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:28,400 Speaker 1: social media. We know, Facebook and Twitter and these other 1385 01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:30,519 Speaker 1: companies are playing games that I say, well, I got 1386 01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:34,680 Speaker 1: an idea.

How 1405 01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:38,879 Speaker 1: pointless is my life and how pointless are the decisions 1406 01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:41,080 Speaker 1: that I'm making on a day to day basis when 1407 01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:44,400 Speaker 1: we are not focused on climate change every day, when 1408 01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:49,680 Speaker 1: it's not leaving every one of our newscasts. That's right, 1409 01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:54,200 Speaker 1: that's an MSNBC anchor telling you that, you know, life 1410 01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:57,519 Speaker 1: is pretty much pointless if we're not all fighting climate change. 1411 01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:04,120 Speaker 1: This is why that climate change is where people who 1412 01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:09,400 Speaker 1: generally shun religious belief turn for a feeling of purpose, 1413 01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:13,240 Speaker 1: and that's why they're willing to believe anything about it, 1414 01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:17,520 Speaker 1: because they take it on faith. But unlike a relationship 1415 01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:20,799 Speaker 1: with God, which has to be based in faith, science 1416 01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:23,280 Speaker 1: is not supposed to be based in just well, I 1417 01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:25,360 Speaker 1: want it to be true. I think it is true. 1418 01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:27,759 Speaker 1: I know it to be true. Therefore it is true. 1419 01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:35,840 Speaker 1: They're supposed to be real time, touchable, tangible evidence, and 1420 01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:39,800 Speaker 1: that relies on the scientific method. But here you have 1421 01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:42,120 Speaker 1: somebody who's really telling you the way though that the 1422 01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:44,519 Speaker 1: Libs feel about climate chadors that it's a it's an 1423 01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:50,120 Speaker 1: existential issue for them. The French, of course, have shown 1424 01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:54,400 Speaker 1: us what happens when people like Katie turn get their 1425 01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:58,840 Speaker 1: way and normal people have to deal with that. A 1426 01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:01,280 Speaker 1: carbon tax is a thing that the left has been 1427 01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:05,479 Speaker 1: pushing in this country for a very long time. The 1428 01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:07,679 Speaker 1: idea of a carbon tax is something that really tends 1429 01:28:07,680 --> 01:28:11,880 Speaker 1: to get liberals very, very energized. They like the notion 1430 01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:14,000 Speaker 1: of a carbon tax. They support the idea of it 1431 01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:18,599 Speaker 1: because it also falls into their idea of climate change 1432 01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:22,360 Speaker 1: not just as a problem to be solved, but a 1433 01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:26,800 Speaker 1: sin to be purged. You should be paying more, you 1434 01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:30,280 Speaker 1: should be punished for adding to climate change. It's not 1435 01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:33,439 Speaker 1: just about dealing with the scientific problem. It's that there's 1436 01:28:33,479 --> 01:28:37,960 Speaker 1: really now a whole part of the liberal mind that's 1437 01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:41,760 Speaker 1: engaged in what you'd have to call climate justice, which 1438 01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:46,879 Speaker 1: is its own subdiscipline of social justice. And social justice 1439 01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:52,040 Speaker 1: is cultural Marxism with a better name. But climate justice 1440 01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:56,280 Speaker 1: means that the third world has to get money from 1441 01:28:56,320 --> 01:29:01,000 Speaker 1: the first world. That people who are trying to go 1442 01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:04,720 Speaker 1: about their day to day lives and want to embrace 1443 01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:10,320 Speaker 1: the benefits of and the technologies afforded them by modernity, 1444 01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:12,599 Speaker 1: and in said that, you know what happens. They turn 1445 01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:16,040 Speaker 1: around and they're told, oh, no, you're not supposed to 1446 01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:18,840 Speaker 1: you're not supposed to use those things, or if you do, 1447 01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:20,800 Speaker 1: you're going to be punished. For those things. The very 1448 01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:25,000 Speaker 1: important people, the elites in this country, they are allowed 1449 01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:26,680 Speaker 1: to do whatever they want. This is how this is 1450 01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:30,840 Speaker 1: why they don't think it's hypocritical for al Gore to 1451 01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,840 Speaker 1: have a house in Tennessee that I think uses twenty 1452 01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:37,400 Speaker 1: times the normal amount of energy. Right, they don't think 1453 01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:43,960 Speaker 1: it's hypocritical for Leonardo Dicapria to actually fly to climate 1454 01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:48,519 Speaker 1: change meetings in a private jet, which means that his carbon, 1455 01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:51,400 Speaker 1: his CO two footprint is going to be more than 1456 01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:54,840 Speaker 1: the cotwo footprint of ninety nine percent of the people 1457 01:29:54,920 --> 01:30:01,280 Speaker 1: that he's out there lecturing about climate change. But you know, 1458 01:30:01,320 --> 01:30:03,240 Speaker 1: when you have somebody saying things like how pointless is 1459 01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:05,200 Speaker 1: my life if I'm not doing more about climate change? 1460 01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:08,720 Speaker 1: This is an existential issue for them, which is why 1461 01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:12,439 Speaker 1: they're so vicious about it too. I'll never forget that, 1462 01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:15,439 Speaker 1: you know. I talked about Michael Crichton from time to 1463 01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:20,759 Speaker 1: time on the show, mostly because Crichton was the author 1464 01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:24,880 Speaker 1: that I most I mean, the first, not the first 1465 01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:27,920 Speaker 1: book that I ever read on my own that I 1466 01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:31,519 Speaker 1: loved would have been in the third grade, and it 1467 01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:39,840 Speaker 1: was Letoiscut The Three Musketeers by Alexander dumah. But that 1468 01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:42,040 Speaker 1: was the first book that I read outside of school 1469 01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:44,559 Speaker 1: that I was like, this book is awesome. But the 1470 01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:47,200 Speaker 1: first person whoever made me think, wow, reading is something 1471 01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:49,280 Speaker 1: that I want to do for fun and it's going 1472 01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:51,320 Speaker 1: to be a big part of my life was Michael Crichton. 1473 01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:55,599 Speaker 1: Starting around fourth fifth grade was when I started reading 1474 01:30:55,640 --> 01:30:59,400 Speaker 1: Michael Michael Crichton books. And he wrote this book. And 1475 01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:02,480 Speaker 1: I got it wrong the last time, so I apologize. 1476 01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:07,160 Speaker 1: I got the title wrong, and I'm pretty sure it 1477 01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:10,240 Speaker 1: was State of Fear was the I just want to 1478 01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:11,920 Speaker 1: make sure I'm not telling you the wrong book. Yes, 1479 01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:15,040 Speaker 1: global warming about eco terists global warming. I think I 1480 01:31:15,080 --> 01:31:18,240 Speaker 1: had said something else the last time. But I read 1481 01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:19,760 Speaker 1: State of Fear. It's a pretty good read. It's not 1482 01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:21,240 Speaker 1: one of Crichton's better books, but I mean it's a 1483 01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:24,720 Speaker 1: pretty it's a pretty interesting read. But he gave this. 1484 01:31:24,840 --> 01:31:30,000 Speaker 1: He gave interviews afterwards where he said that he's written 1485 01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:33,240 Speaker 1: on the most controversial topics. Imagine what he's written on 1486 01:31:33,320 --> 01:31:38,240 Speaker 1: cloning and whether a human DNA can be patented, and 1487 01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:41,040 Speaker 1: he's written on a boor shit and when life start. 1488 01:31:41,479 --> 01:31:47,120 Speaker 1: He's tackled stuff that's really contentious. And he says that 1489 01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:53,280 Speaker 1: he was warned away from writing on climate change back 1490 01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:56,240 Speaker 1: in two thousand and four. He was warned by his 1491 01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:58,759 Speaker 1: own you know, his own side. I mean people probably 1492 01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:02,000 Speaker 1: see people he knows in the publishing industry and social friends, 1493 01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:05,120 Speaker 1: because they said that it's just not worth it. You're 1494 01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:06,479 Speaker 1: going to get so much. And he said that he 1495 01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:10,160 Speaker 1: almost backed away from it, but then he realized that 1496 01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:11,800 Speaker 1: he didn't want to be a coward, and he's very 1497 01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:14,000 Speaker 1: successful author, and why can't he write on whatever he 1498 01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:16,280 Speaker 1: wants to write on? And then he published the book, 1499 01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:20,080 Speaker 1: and he said that he got more hatred and even 1500 01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:25,439 Speaker 1: death threats from people because he wrote a novel that 1501 01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:27,679 Speaker 1: dealt with the issue of climate change than anything else 1502 01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:33,160 Speaker 1: in his entire career. Now that's bizarre, right, that doesn't 1503 01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:37,080 Speaker 1: make any sense because climate change in a day to 1504 01:32:37,160 --> 01:32:40,000 Speaker 1: day sense doesn't, you know, really shouldn't really be something 1505 01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:41,880 Speaker 1: that's on the forefront of anyone's minds. It really doesn't 1506 01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:44,280 Speaker 1: affect people quite the same way a lot of those 1507 01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:47,679 Speaker 1: other issues do. But when you understand the climate change 1508 01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:49,800 Speaker 1: is a religious belief for people who think they're too 1509 01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:52,439 Speaker 1: smart for religion, then you see how this would be 1510 01:32:52,479 --> 01:32:56,760 Speaker 1: like telling somebody you know who is a Muslim that 1511 01:32:56,840 --> 01:32:58,600 Speaker 1: you know there was never a Muhammed and this was 1512 01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:00,880 Speaker 1: all fake, or you know they're telling, you know, telling 1513 01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:02,640 Speaker 1: somebody who's a Christian there you know there is no 1514 01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:06,719 Speaker 1: Jesus and there was there is no God. Now, different 1515 01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:10,360 Speaker 1: religions and different people of religious faith react differently to 1516 01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:14,559 Speaker 1: these kinds of claims, but it's upsetting to people. A 1517 01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:18,040 Speaker 1: scientific debate shouldn't be upsetting to people who should be 1518 01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:20,360 Speaker 1: rooted in the facts. And if one thing is true 1519 01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:22,200 Speaker 1: and another thing is not, that's all that should matter. 1520 01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:25,720 Speaker 1: So in a sense, I actually like what Katie Turr 1521 01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:28,120 Speaker 1: said here because she's putting it in the in the 1522 01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:32,599 Speaker 1: context in which liberals really think about this issue. I mean, 1523 01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:34,720 Speaker 1: she's she's the one who's telling you how this really goes, 1524 01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:38,000 Speaker 1: which is that they think that this is about our 1525 01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:43,400 Speaker 1: ability to have meaning in life. And if you're part 1526 01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:50,439 Speaker 1: of this, this set, this climate change vanguard, you are 1527 01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:53,000 Speaker 1: you are trying to save the planet and you see 1528 01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:55,759 Speaker 1: you have a vision of the future that nobody else 1529 01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:59,400 Speaker 1: really has, or you know that other people aren't embracing. 1530 01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:02,320 Speaker 1: That makes you a better person than them, right, That 1531 01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:04,720 Speaker 1: makes you a better person than them. So, you know, 1532 01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:07,960 Speaker 1: I think that Katie jurors, you know, I don't know 1533 01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:09,559 Speaker 1: where that she came kind of out of nowhere all 1534 01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:12,360 Speaker 1: of a sudden, she's got to show at MSNBC. But 1535 01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:15,240 Speaker 1: she is at least telling you what the Libs really 1536 01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:18,920 Speaker 1: think about climate change, which usually they hide behind, Oh 1537 01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:21,600 Speaker 1: there's a scientific consensus, but there's not a scientific consensus, 1538 01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:24,760 Speaker 1: so they're just lying. But they don't mind lying because 1539 01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:27,360 Speaker 1: I think that this is about saving the earth in 1540 01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:30,639 Speaker 1: about it. What is the thing Democrats need to say 1541 01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:35,160 Speaker 1: to help voters bump this from issue number fourteen up 1542 01:34:35,200 --> 01:34:39,920 Speaker 1: to issue number one. I wish I had an answer 1543 01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:42,920 Speaker 1: to that, because one of the things that we Democrats 1544 01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:47,400 Speaker 1: have a really hard time is connecting to people's hearts 1545 01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:50,160 Speaker 1: instead of here. And we're really good at shoving out 1546 01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:52,720 Speaker 1: all the information that touch people here but not here. 1547 01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:54,960 Speaker 1: And I have been saying it all of our Senate 1548 01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:57,679 Speaker 1: Democratic retreats, that we need to speak to the heart, 1549 01:34:57,760 --> 01:35:00,120 Speaker 1: not in a manipulative way, not in a way that 1550 01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:04,719 Speaker 1: brings forth everybody's fears and resentments, but truly to speak 1551 01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:07,000 Speaker 1: to the heart so that people know that we're actually 1552 01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:09,240 Speaker 1: on their side. We have a really hard time doing that. 1553 01:35:09,520 --> 01:35:12,040 Speaker 1: And one of the reasons that it was sold to 1554 01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:14,560 Speaker 1: me at one of our retreats was that we Democrats 1555 01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:17,200 Speaker 1: know so much that is true, and we have to 1556 01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:20,280 Speaker 1: kind of tell everybody how smart we are, and so 1557 01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:22,960 Speaker 1: we have a tendency to be very left brain and 1558 01:35:23,040 --> 01:35:27,000 Speaker 1: we think this, really that hasn't that is not how 1559 01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:33,280 Speaker 1: people make decisions. So there you have Maizie Harono, the 1560 01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:37,360 Speaker 1: dumbest person in the Senate, who is claiming in an 1561 01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:40,240 Speaker 1: interview that the problem that Democrats have is that they're 1562 01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:44,800 Speaker 1: too smart when they're talking to the American people. It's 1563 01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:48,280 Speaker 1: just perfect, isn't it. As she really is the dumbest. 1564 01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:50,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that if you were to say, 1565 01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:54,479 Speaker 1: who can we pick who has the least knowledge and 1566 01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:59,800 Speaker 1: the least intellectual facility in the United States Senate, I 1567 01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:04,120 Speaker 1: think Mazie heronos number one. And the fact the matter 1568 01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:07,680 Speaker 1: is that what she's saying is not only ridiculous on 1569 01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:12,000 Speaker 1: its face, it's also the complete opposite of what reality is. 1570 01:36:12,720 --> 01:36:18,400 Speaker 1: Democrats don't worry about the real world consequences of their policies. 1571 01:36:19,200 --> 01:36:22,559 Speaker 1: Democrats are not the ones that make arguments based on 1572 01:36:22,640 --> 01:36:24,880 Speaker 1: reason and logic. They make arguments based on emotion all 1573 01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:27,160 Speaker 1: the time. I mean a perfect example is the border. 1574 01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:29,960 Speaker 1: What do we do about the border? Why are you 1575 01:36:30,040 --> 01:36:35,160 Speaker 1: such a racist who hates children and desperate women fleeing violence? No, no, 1576 01:36:35,160 --> 01:36:37,479 Speaker 1: that's not what I asked. I just asked, what do 1577 01:36:37,560 --> 01:36:39,680 Speaker 1: we do about the border? What would you like us 1578 01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:42,760 Speaker 1: to do? Does everyone get to come in? Give me answers? 1579 01:36:43,240 --> 01:36:46,120 Speaker 1: I would like answers. What is your preferred situation? What's 1580 01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:49,360 Speaker 1: your Oh? I see, it's just to do a lot 1581 01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:53,000 Speaker 1: of virtue signaling, to talk as much as possible about 1582 01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:56,400 Speaker 1: how kind hearted you are and how much you want 1583 01:36:56,439 --> 01:37:01,160 Speaker 1: to be the ones who are bringing in the meek, 1584 01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:06,000 Speaker 1: the poor, the hungry and downtrodden of the world. Meanwhile, 1585 01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:07,280 Speaker 1: when we try to ask for all who's going to 1586 01:37:07,360 --> 01:37:09,599 Speaker 1: pay for all this? And how is this all supposed 1587 01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:12,840 Speaker 1: to work? We're told that we're the mean ones. No, 1588 01:37:13,040 --> 01:37:18,200 Speaker 1: Democrats rely overwhelmingly on emotional arguments. This is why when 1589 01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:21,080 Speaker 1: they make it an appeal to the public, the appeal 1590 01:37:21,160 --> 01:37:26,640 Speaker 1: is in terms of, you know, either fear or self righteousness. 1591 01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:30,840 Speaker 1: Why do we have to take action on climate change? Well, 1592 01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:32,400 Speaker 1: because we have to save the planet or else we're 1593 01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:35,000 Speaker 1: all going to die. I mean the world will die, 1594 01:37:35,040 --> 01:37:38,240 Speaker 1: I mean the planet will die. This is crazy. This 1595 01:37:38,320 --> 01:37:42,639 Speaker 1: is not something that normal people should think. But there 1596 01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:46,080 Speaker 1: are people nonetheless who think it, and they are Democrats. 1597 01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:49,479 Speaker 1: There's a whole bunch of areas where, you know, when 1598 01:37:49,479 --> 01:37:54,960 Speaker 1: you ask about serious scientific issues, you know, here's a 1599 01:37:54,960 --> 01:38:00,720 Speaker 1: perfect example. Are men and women biologically different and distinct 1600 01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:06,439 Speaker 1: and verifiable in those distinctions? Democrats these days, the left, 1601 01:38:06,439 --> 01:38:10,479 Speaker 1: they'll say, no, no, you can't make those distinctions because 1602 01:38:10,520 --> 01:38:13,160 Speaker 1: it's a spectrum, it's a scale. And when we say, well, 1603 01:38:13,160 --> 01:38:15,599 Speaker 1: hold on a second, prove to me that it's a spectrum. 1604 01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:18,439 Speaker 1: Proved to me that this scale exists, they'll just say, 1605 01:38:18,479 --> 01:38:21,200 Speaker 1: why are you so mean? Why won't you let her 1606 01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:28,559 Speaker 1: him it? They z zem live the truth that that 1607 01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:31,400 Speaker 1: person has picked for himself, herself or anything other pronouns 1608 01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:35,599 Speaker 1: they use why are you so mean? So their arguments 1609 01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:40,800 Speaker 1: are overwhelmingly faced in emotion. You know, healthcare for all 1610 01:38:40,920 --> 01:38:42,240 Speaker 1: is going to be Medicare for all. It's gonna be 1611 01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:45,120 Speaker 1: too expensive. Why do you want poor people to die 1612 01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:47,040 Speaker 1: without healthcare? That's what they come back to you with. 1613 01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:51,120 Speaker 1: It is too expensive, and no serious person thinks otherwise. 1614 01:38:51,640 --> 01:38:55,800 Speaker 1: But Their argument is you're mean and we care and 1615 01:38:55,960 --> 01:38:59,000 Speaker 1: you don't, so it's funny. I mean, yes, Mazie Herono, 1616 01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:00,720 Speaker 1: as I said, the dumbest woman the Senate thinks that 1617 01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:04,000 Speaker 1: Democrats are too smart. That there's a lot of irony 1618 01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:08,200 Speaker 1: in that. But even beyond that, Democrats are masters of 1619 01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:12,280 Speaker 1: the emotional manipulation of politics. They're not so good at 1620 01:39:12,320 --> 01:39:16,519 Speaker 1: the make an argument that makes sense. The show ain't 1621 01:39:16,560 --> 01:39:25,120 Speaker 1: over yet, folks, It's time for roll call. Well. I 1622 01:39:25,200 --> 01:39:28,799 Speaker 1: made it through the show despite the fact that little raspy, 1623 01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:32,519 Speaker 1: although I'm sure it depends. Sometimes the voice with the 1624 01:39:32,600 --> 01:39:37,160 Speaker 1: cold probably a little better. Sometimes it gets really funky. 1625 01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:40,799 Speaker 1: Let's get to your thoughts here Facebook dot com slash 1626 01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:44,960 Speaker 1: Bucks Sexton if you want to be in on this action. 1627 01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:49,080 Speaker 1: Chuck rhymes with Buck because he's a friend of Bucks. 1628 01:39:49,520 --> 01:39:53,680 Speaker 1: Chuck writes constructive criticism. Buck, please have your sound guy 1629 01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:56,599 Speaker 1: and normalize your voice levels with those of your producer 1630 01:39:56,640 --> 01:39:59,840 Speaker 1: and soundclips. Your voice volume is very low compared to 1631 01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:02,479 Speaker 1: their content on your show. It makes it hard to 1632 01:40:02,520 --> 01:40:06,800 Speaker 1: hear without constant volume adjustments. PS feel better, brother, Chuck. 1633 01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:09,840 Speaker 1: I I'll ask the guys to look into that. I 1634 01:40:10,280 --> 01:40:13,240 Speaker 1: cannot say because I don't listen to the show while 1635 01:40:13,240 --> 01:40:15,720 Speaker 1: I'm doing the show. In terms of the broadcast of it, 1636 01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:18,200 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't notice any difference. But if you 1637 01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:21,559 Speaker 1: say there's a difference, we'll have our guys look into it. 1638 01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:32,880 Speaker 1: On the engineering side, Apollo Apollinaire Umkundigner writes, Hello, well Apollinaire, 1639 01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:36,880 Speaker 1: whom I think I'm pretty sure is a bat or 1640 01:40:36,960 --> 01:40:41,519 Speaker 1: a computer program. Hello to you, and and no, I 1641 01:40:41,520 --> 01:40:47,160 Speaker 1: will not give you all my computer passwords, Mitchell, right buck. 1642 01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:49,640 Speaker 1: A good recommendation for a female guest host should be 1643 01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:53,080 Speaker 1: Katie Pavlich. Also, just a regular guest could be Jess 1644 01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:55,880 Speaker 1: Guitar lov She's on the other side, but makes good 1645 01:40:55,960 --> 01:41:01,479 Speaker 1: arguments and not just hyperventilating. Thanks Mitchell, Mitchell. Katie Pollich 1646 01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:04,080 Speaker 1: is great. I've known I've known Katie for years. She's 1647 01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:07,960 Speaker 1: a she's a force in the business and us. You know, 1648 01:41:08,280 --> 01:41:11,720 Speaker 1: is a very talented lady. I'd love to have her 1649 01:41:11,760 --> 01:41:13,840 Speaker 1: on I actually will. I'll put that one on the 1650 01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:15,439 Speaker 1: list of people will reach out to and see if 1651 01:41:15,439 --> 01:41:18,639 Speaker 1: she has any interest. She's very busy with TV, so 1652 01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:21,559 Speaker 1: I don't know if radio is something she can make 1653 01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:24,439 Speaker 1: time for or you know this radio, but I'll definitely 1654 01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:27,240 Speaker 1: ask her. I'd be very happy to have Katie on. 1655 01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:30,040 Speaker 1: And I know Jessica Tarlov a bit. She like me, 1656 01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:33,080 Speaker 1: grew up in New York City. She has the politics 1657 01:41:33,120 --> 01:41:35,320 Speaker 1: that most people in New York are expected to have, 1658 01:41:36,240 --> 01:41:39,920 Speaker 1: being a she's a a a pretty civil democrat. But 1659 01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:43,400 Speaker 1: I like Jessica. She's also very very nice lady, very 1660 01:41:43,439 --> 01:41:46,680 Speaker 1: polite and smart. Um. So, as for a guest, I 1661 01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:51,840 Speaker 1: don't know how much radio debate really, I'll put it 1662 01:41:51,880 --> 01:41:54,720 Speaker 1: this way. Very few shows have radio debates. And I 1663 01:41:54,760 --> 01:41:57,719 Speaker 1: think it's because it's difficult when you have two people 1664 01:41:57,840 --> 01:42:02,080 Speaker 1: speaking over each other. Then you're in a situation where 1665 01:42:02,680 --> 01:42:04,960 Speaker 1: you know you can't hear anything, and it's it's just 1666 01:42:05,040 --> 01:42:07,280 Speaker 1: not usually. It doesn't usually work out the way that 1667 01:42:07,960 --> 01:42:11,560 Speaker 1: we all want it to. Oh sorry, I'm amazing. My 1668 01:42:12,280 --> 01:42:14,479 Speaker 1: voice is barely make it through the show to day. 1669 01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:16,439 Speaker 1: Hopefully about tomorrow will be in pretty good shape again. 1670 01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:19,320 Speaker 1: John writes, listening to your show tonight, you mentioned the 1671 01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:22,360 Speaker 1: movie Titanic. I still haven't seen it. Just a couple 1672 01:42:22,360 --> 01:42:26,080 Speaker 1: of bits, John. I'm not saying you're a liar, okay, 1673 01:42:26,280 --> 01:42:28,679 Speaker 1: but I am going to say, come on, man, you've 1674 01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:36,519 Speaker 1: really never seen Titanic near far wherever there. I mean, 1675 01:42:36,600 --> 01:42:40,360 Speaker 1: come on, man, you've seen Titanic. Everybody's seen Titanic. It 1676 01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:43,600 Speaker 1: was at one point, true fact, I think it was 1677 01:42:43,640 --> 01:42:48,519 Speaker 1: at one point the highest grossing movie of all time, 1678 01:42:49,080 --> 01:42:52,759 Speaker 1: which I think I think says a lot about movie watching. 1679 01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:55,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what it says, but it was the 1680 01:42:55,720 --> 01:43:00,560 Speaker 1: highest grossing film of all time for a while. Yeah, 1681 01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:03,360 Speaker 1: Robert writes Buck, I can't believe I'm going to ask 1682 01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:07,280 Speaker 1: you about Obama's birth certificate. Gosh, Robert, I can't either. 1683 01:43:07,720 --> 01:43:09,559 Speaker 1: I heard you mentioned on the show tonight. I never 1684 01:43:09,680 --> 01:43:12,320 Speaker 1: understood the issue. It's my understanding. You don't have to 1685 01:43:12,360 --> 01:43:14,280 Speaker 1: have been born in the United States to be president, 1686 01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:16,320 Speaker 1: as long as one or more of your parents are 1687 01:43:16,400 --> 01:43:19,400 Speaker 1: naturalized American citizens, meaning one of them was born in 1688 01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:22,679 Speaker 1: the US. McCain and Ted Cruz are both born outside 1689 01:43:22,680 --> 01:43:25,120 Speaker 1: of the United States. Was the issue that the religion 1690 01:43:25,200 --> 01:43:28,160 Speaker 1: might be stated as Muslim? Even if it was, that 1691 01:43:28,200 --> 01:43:30,200 Speaker 1: would have been up to his parents and doesn't mean 1692 01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:32,400 Speaker 1: it's his religion as an adult. Just curious if I'm 1693 01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:35,920 Speaker 1: missing something. Well, though, the issue is, and Robert, I'm 1694 01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:38,000 Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you, I would want to read 1695 01:43:38,080 --> 01:43:40,400 Speaker 1: up on this a little bit, because I will tell 1696 01:43:40,439 --> 01:43:44,640 Speaker 1: you I have not thought about the birth controversy in 1697 01:43:45,080 --> 01:43:49,680 Speaker 1: quite some time. But the issue is whether one is 1698 01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:53,439 Speaker 1: a natural born citizen as understood by the Framers and 1699 01:43:53,479 --> 01:43:57,880 Speaker 1: in the Constitution. And I just going off of memory, 1700 01:43:57,920 --> 01:43:59,879 Speaker 1: can tell you that I think there's a pretty serious 1701 01:44:00,080 --> 01:44:04,960 Speaker 1: argument that not only if Obama was not born in Hawaii. 1702 01:44:05,040 --> 01:44:07,800 Speaker 1: I do believe he was born in Hawaii, and you know, 1703 01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:11,040 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that, but if Obama had not been 1704 01:44:11,080 --> 01:44:13,679 Speaker 1: born in Hawaii, he would not have been a natural 1705 01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:18,200 Speaker 1: born citizen. And Ted Cruz, I think, is also somebody 1706 01:44:18,680 --> 01:44:21,800 Speaker 1: who it's an open question whether if he could even 1707 01:44:21,840 --> 01:44:26,040 Speaker 1: get the Republican primary, he would constitutionally qualify to be 1708 01:44:26,120 --> 01:44:28,200 Speaker 1: president until the United States. And I know people don't 1709 01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:31,080 Speaker 1: want to hear. Look, I supported Ted in the primary. 1710 01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:37,000 Speaker 1: I think that his political skills, his political knowledge, and 1711 01:44:37,600 --> 01:44:42,080 Speaker 1: his understanding of political philosophy is first rate. His political 1712 01:44:42,240 --> 01:44:48,679 Speaker 1: skills are not ready for the presidential level. I think 1713 01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:51,200 Speaker 1: that's my honest assessment, and I don't know if they 1714 01:44:51,200 --> 01:44:54,680 Speaker 1: ever will be. You know, there is a whole component 1715 01:44:54,720 --> 01:44:58,080 Speaker 1: of whether somebody is likable and I know for this audience, 1716 01:44:58,120 --> 01:45:01,040 Speaker 1: a lot of you are just concerned with policy and 1717 01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:04,080 Speaker 1: your diehard constitutionalist you know, Ted Cruises, and I was 1718 01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:06,000 Speaker 1: right there with you. That's why I was supporting Cruise. 1719 01:45:06,640 --> 01:45:09,559 Speaker 1: But in the current environment we're in, you know, there's 1720 01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:11,679 Speaker 1: a reason why you're hearing a lot of Beato talk 1721 01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:14,920 Speaker 1: even though he lost to Ted Cruise in Texas. There's 1722 01:45:14,960 --> 01:45:17,520 Speaker 1: just a feeling, whether it's sure or not, who knows 1723 01:45:17,560 --> 01:45:21,160 Speaker 1: that you need to have a certain national level media 1724 01:45:22,040 --> 01:45:26,600 Speaker 1: savvy and charisma in order to compete. So there you 1725 01:45:26,680 --> 01:45:29,320 Speaker 1: have it. And as to yeah, so natural born citizen, 1726 01:45:29,320 --> 01:45:33,160 Speaker 1: there's still some debate over what really does qualify one 1727 01:45:33,200 --> 01:45:35,920 Speaker 1: as a natural born citizen. So I would just leave 1728 01:45:35,960 --> 01:45:39,799 Speaker 1: that to other folks who are deeper in the weeds 1729 01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:44,960 Speaker 1: on that than I am. Right now, Karen, Right, Oh, 1730 01:45:45,080 --> 01:45:48,120 Speaker 1: the elegancy of the Barack Obama presidency, Yeah right, the 1731 01:45:48,200 --> 01:45:51,639 Speaker 1: big bo I guess we're making a joke there about 1732 01:45:51,640 --> 01:45:57,200 Speaker 1: body odor. I think, okay, Valerie, right, Sorry, I just 1733 01:45:57,640 --> 01:46:01,320 Speaker 1: my quips don't come as ask when I'm trying not 1734 01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:04,800 Speaker 1: to cough. I know I'm really milking it, right, I 1735 01:46:04,840 --> 01:46:06,920 Speaker 1: was pretty good during the show. Guys, give me some credit. 1736 01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:09,879 Speaker 1: I did not come on team. I was not whining 1737 01:46:09,880 --> 01:46:11,599 Speaker 1: too much about the fact that I mean, I feel 1738 01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:13,479 Speaker 1: like I got hit by a bus. I don't know 1739 01:46:13,479 --> 01:46:16,240 Speaker 1: what it is with me. Whenever I get sick, it's 1740 01:46:16,240 --> 01:46:17,760 Speaker 1: a cold. I mean, it's just a cold virus. But 1741 01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:21,000 Speaker 1: whenever I get sick day one, I'm like, oh, I'm sick, 1742 01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:24,400 Speaker 1: but it's not that bad. And then day two it's, oh, wow, 1743 01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:26,200 Speaker 1: this is not gonna be fun. And it's actually day 1744 01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:28,400 Speaker 1: three for me, that's just the misery day. So I'm 1745 01:46:28,400 --> 01:46:34,639 Speaker 1: in day three, Laurie, right, hold on a second book. 1746 01:46:34,680 --> 01:46:40,280 Speaker 1: A suggestion I love regarding the Christmas Santa story for 1747 01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:42,800 Speaker 1: telling kids is to explain it as Santa is real. 1748 01:46:42,960 --> 01:46:45,160 Speaker 1: It's not just a big guy in a red suit. 1749 01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:47,960 Speaker 1: Santa is all of your family and friends and loved 1750 01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:50,879 Speaker 1: ones that gather, give gifts and make the holiday special. 1751 01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:54,400 Speaker 1: Just a thought that I thought was worth sharing. Well, Laurie, 1752 01:46:54,439 --> 01:46:57,360 Speaker 1: I like that. I like that approach. You also could 1753 01:46:57,520 --> 01:47:00,439 Speaker 1: talk about the and now it's some of you who 1754 01:47:00,479 --> 01:47:06,800 Speaker 1: are um you know, the original Blaze Squad would be like, well, 1755 01:47:06,800 --> 01:47:14,880 Speaker 1: what about the original Saint Nicolas of Mira from the 1756 01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:19,360 Speaker 1: fourth late third early fourth century Nikolas of Body, who's 1757 01:47:19,360 --> 01:47:22,800 Speaker 1: a Christian bishop. My friends in what used to be 1758 01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:26,280 Speaker 1: known as Asia Minor are currently known as Turkey. Saint 1759 01:47:26,400 --> 01:47:32,040 Speaker 1: Nick comes to us via syinter Claus or Santa Claus, 1760 01:47:32,479 --> 01:47:36,200 Speaker 1: and that's that's this guy Nicolas of Body, who was 1761 01:47:36,200 --> 01:47:38,720 Speaker 1: a bishop, who's a real dude. So you could tell 1762 01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:42,320 Speaker 1: them about the the kind of metaphorical Santa of today, 1763 01:47:42,479 --> 01:47:45,559 Speaker 1: and you could kick at old school history style and 1764 01:47:45,600 --> 01:47:49,760 Speaker 1: tell them about Saint Nick from way back when the 1765 01:47:49,840 --> 01:47:51,599 Speaker 1: real scene, kind of like how I've done the real 1766 01:47:51,680 --> 01:47:53,840 Speaker 1: Dracula on this show before, although some of you said, 1767 01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:56,439 Speaker 1: all right, we've had enough real Dracula. That'll be for 1768 01:47:56,479 --> 01:48:00,799 Speaker 1: the gosh the voice broke, that'll be for the history podcast, 1769 01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:03,360 Speaker 1: which is gonna happen when I have just less obligations, 1770 01:48:03,400 --> 01:48:07,840 Speaker 1: which is probably gonna be soon. Not Nori, you know, 1771 01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:09,960 Speaker 1: everything is gonna be fine. I'm just gonna find a 1772 01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:13,160 Speaker 1: way to make more time in the day. Alex writes 1773 01:48:13,240 --> 01:48:17,080 Speaker 1: Titanic at four major flaws. The first, the forward funnel 1774 01:48:17,080 --> 01:48:21,599 Speaker 1: did not have smoke, only steam from the laundry. The second, 1775 01:48:21,960 --> 01:48:25,320 Speaker 1: the nineteen eleven style forty five that was used in 1776 01:48:25,360 --> 01:48:30,120 Speaker 1: the film wasn't introduced until nineteen fourteen. You can tell 1777 01:48:30,240 --> 01:48:33,799 Speaker 1: from the tang I don't know anything about that. The third, 1778 01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:36,599 Speaker 1: the dime that she paid for the picture with was 1779 01:48:36,680 --> 01:48:39,839 Speaker 1: a Roosevelt dime, not a Mercury dime. And the fourth, 1780 01:48:40,360 --> 01:48:43,200 Speaker 1: the radio room did not send out a CQD. It 1781 01:48:43,320 --> 01:48:47,599 Speaker 1: sent out an SOS as per international standard. January first, 1782 01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:52,680 Speaker 1: nineteen twelve, Alex, I gotta take your word on all that. 1783 01:48:52,760 --> 01:48:54,800 Speaker 1: I have no idea if any of that's true.

Yeah, I think that we take the political 1814 01:50:25,080 --> 01:50:27,559 Speaker 1: hero worship a little foreigners country. I'll be honest with you. 1815 01:50:27,920 --> 01:50:30,240 Speaker 1: With the founders, it's a little different because that's part 1816 01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:34,240 Speaker 1: of our well, our founding and our shared political culture. 1817 01:50:34,720 --> 01:50:37,360 Speaker 1: But I do think that that we're getting closer and 1818 01:50:37,439 --> 01:50:42,799 Speaker 1: closer to treating our famous political names like nobility. And 1819 01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:44,760 Speaker 1: let's all be honest, there really are kind of like 1820 01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:47,840 Speaker 1: titles of nobility. You know, if you're a Bush, you 1821 01:50:47,840 --> 01:50:49,519 Speaker 1: don't have to be the best then anything you get 1822 01:50:49,560 --> 01:50:52,280 Speaker 1: to run for office now it seems for you know, 1823 01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:55,800 Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future, for generations, you know, oh a Bush. 1824 01:50:55,800 --> 01:50:58,479 Speaker 1: If you're saying, well, obviously, Kennedy, it's true.

I just I do not like 1828 01:51:08,439 --> 01:51:12,160 Speaker 1: that tendency in our politics.
