1
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Why didn't Muller make

2
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: the call? Why did he defer? And is trying to

3
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: now hand it off to Congress for impeachment while the

4
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: Attorney General Barr has an answer for us that I

5
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: think sheds a lot of light on what's really at

6
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: work here. Plus should Facebook have to take down a

7
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: video that's mean about Nancy Pelosi? Journalists and of course

8
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: democrats thing? So we got that and more coming up

9
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: on The Buck Sexton Show. Buck SEXTONSI decoding the news

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Mag no mistake, American,

11
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: You're a great American. Again. This is the Buck Sexton

12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: shows Analysts, I can speak for three hours without a

13
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: phone call. Try doing that some time. It is book Sexton.

14
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: No council yesterday makes that statement. He analyzed eleven instances

15
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: where there were possible obstruction and then said that he

16
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: really could make a decision. Do you agree with that interpretation?

17
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: I personally felt he could have reached the decision. In

18
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: your view, he could have reached a conclusion. Right, he

19
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: could have reached a conclusion. The opinion says you can

20
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: at indict a president while he's in office, but he

21
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: could have reached a decision as to whether it was

22
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: criminal activity. But he had his reasons for not doing it,

23
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: which he explained, and I'm not going to argue about

24
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: those reasons. But when he didn't make a decision, the

25
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein and I felt it was

26
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: necessary for us as the heads of the department, to

27
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: reach that decision. Well, I mean, he seemed to suggest

28
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: yesterday that there was another venue for this, and that

29
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: was Congress. Well, I'm not sure what he was suggesting,

30
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: but the Department of Justice doesn't use our power of

31
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: an investigating crime as an adjunct to Congress. Welcome to

32
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: the buck Sexton Show. Most important takeaway from today about

33
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: this whole post Muller press conference mess is what was

34
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: just said there by Bar which you've heard me say

35
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: many times before. I'm surprised there that he very well,

36
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: he being Muller, could have and should have said whether

37
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: there was a crime committed. There's a difference between we

38
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: believe a crime was committed here and therefore are bringing

39
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: charges and what you know what Muller did, which was

40
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: to just pretend like he couldn't even say that we

41
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: think the law was broken. Why is it better for him?

42
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: How is it more fair to the president to make

43
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: this say, well, somebody else can decide whether the law

44
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: was broken. Well, let's give it to Congress to decide

45
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: with the law is broken. That's not That's not what

46
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: Mueller was set up to do. That wasn't the mandate.

47
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: It wasn't run Democrat oppo research to the tune of

48
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars for two years and then

49
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: we'll decide what we're going to do with it in

50
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: time for the election. That's that was never the mandate.

51
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: But Muller treats that like it is the mandate. Why Well,

52
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: because he is part of the get Trump chorus. He

53
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: is somebody that is opposed to this president and wants

54
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: to finish off his presidency. He probably thinks he's righteous

55
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: in doing so. He thinks that this is helpful to

56
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: the country. He's doing a great public service by wounding

57
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: President Trump's chances of reelection, and he thinks this is

58
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: the right thing to do. Meanwhile, you and I sit

59
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: here and say the president was put through this hell

60
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: based on a lie, based on a conspiracy theory fabricated

61
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: by angry Democrats sore losers who can handle the fact

62
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: that there was a repudiation of their politics and a

63
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: repudiation of their sense of their own importance in the

64
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen election, and that Queen Hillary was not going

65
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: to reign overall, they couldn't process it and handle like

66
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: normal people. So what they do They had to come

67
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: up with this an alternate reality and then try to

68
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: voice that alternate reality and the rest of us. The

69
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 1: President colluded with Russia. He did all this terrible stuff

70
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: through such a bad bad man, and Mueller will let

71
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: this thing go on and on and on, and his team,

72
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: of his team of anti Trump Democrats came up with

73
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: a perfect way to give maximum political benefit, which is

74
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: what this was always about, maximum political benefit to the Democrats.

75
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: Make it so that the only way there can be

76
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: a real final answer, a final decision on this is

77
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: through the Congress, which the Democrats just happened to have

78
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: a majority of votes in. Let me tell you this,

79
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: I do not believe that mul Or would have deferred

80
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: in this way of Republicans had a majority, because then

81
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: he knows they would have never been an impeachment lingering

82
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: in the background. With all of this and the reasoning

83
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: for Mueller not saying there was a criminal charge is

84
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: he laid out or what was it ten or eleven?

85
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: I think it was ten, but some people have been

86
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: saying eleven recently, ten different instances where there could have

87
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: been obstruction. We were past the Russia collusion fairy tale,

88
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: or at least in terms of charges against the president,

89
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: but these ten possible obstruction if he hones in on one,

90
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: and then we really look at that, and then there's

91
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: the competing legal analyzes of whether or not that's truly obstruction,

92
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: and the preponderance of the evidence or of the majority

93
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: of people hearing it at least don't believe that it

94
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: was obstruction, and then then that's case closed and it's

95
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: all over with. Much better to let this thing just linger,

96
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: just like the Muller investigation itself was meant to linger.

97
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: Go on. The processes, the punishment. Now the process it's

98
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: gone from the Mueller probe itself to the process of

99
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: the congressional should we or shouldn't we impeach him? This

100
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: is all it is. It's it's narrative building, it's dirty politics.

101
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: It's meant to harm this president and undermine the chances

102
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: of his reelection. That's all this has been about from

103
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: day one. There is no good faith, there is no

104
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: honesty or integrity in this from the Democrats. It's the

105
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: whole thing is an utter disgrace. But we have to

106
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: keep fighting because if we don't, they will. But I

107
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: do want an answer. I want Muller on the stand.

108
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: I want Democrats to have to defend Muller when he

109
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: won't answer the question about why didn't you just say

110
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: whether a crime was committed? Because if the answer is

111
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: that even Mueller doesn't really know if a crime was committed,

112
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: then then there wasn't a crime. If a seasoned prosecutor

113
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: who is in charge of the most politically explosive investigation

114
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: certainly since the Clinton era and probably since Watergate, if

115
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: that guy isn't sure there's a crime, then you're darned

116
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: sure that nobody else out there could reasonably say that, yeah,

117
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: there was a crime. But so he didn't say that

118
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: left it open, Better leave it vague. We'll get more

119
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: political mileage out of it, more damaging to Trump. Gives

120
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: all these people in the Democrats side and on the

121
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: left all this leeway, all this room to run. Well,

122
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: you know the president. We think he probably obstructed, but

123
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: we got to talk more about this. Let's talk more

124
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: about obstruction. It's just a giant propaganda fight. They know that,

125
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: and that's what we're going to be waiting into. Anyway,

126
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: Muller should have said crime or no, crime doesn't mean

127
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: that there had to be charges. He should have said it.

128
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: He didn't because he is a dishonest anti Trump hack.

129
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: And I will say it because it is true. Anny

130
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: McCarthy's gonna join me to talk about this in a

131
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: little bit. Plus, we've got a whole lot more stuff

132
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: coming your way. Stay with me, now, Russian did not

133
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: help me get elected. You know who got me elected.

134
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 1: You know who got me elected. I got me elected.

135
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: Russia didn't help me at all. Russia, if anything, I

136
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: think help the other side. What you want to ask

137
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: is this, do you think the media helped Hillary Clinton

138
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: get elected? She didn't make it. But you take a

139
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: look at collusion between Hillary Clinton and the media, you

140
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: take a look at collusion between Hillary Clinton and Russia.

141
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: She had more to do in the campaign with Russia

142
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: than I did. I had nothing to do. That's true.

143
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: Nobody ever seems to focus in on this This is

144
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: one area where I keep asking the various libs that

145
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: I have to debate on all the Russia collusion hoax nonsense,

146
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: keep saying, you know, if foreign interference in the election

147
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: is some terrible, unpardonable sin, then what do we make

148
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: of Christopher Steele, a foreigner get paid by the campaign

149
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: or by the DNC on behalf of Hillary's campaign to

150
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: use foreign subsources Russians, to compile a dossier and then

151
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: run that dossier to the intelligence community and to the

152
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: American press. Let's understand that that a standard that was

153
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: set up by the media in all of this was

154
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: that just the the meeting at Trump Tower, the possible

155
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: acceptance of opposition research or opposition information OPO if it

156
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: comes from a foreigner, that's illegal. They were saying, it's

157
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: a it's a campaign finance violation. I mean, this is

158
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: just they're just making this stuff up as they go along.

159
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: Never mind the fact that if as I as I've

160
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: told you before, Let's say that in that meeting with

161
00:09:53,840 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: Vezo Niitskaya and Maniford Jared Kushner U. Let's say that

162
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: at that meeting, the vesilan Sky had provided information that

163
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton was laundering millions of dollars from her ridiculous access,

164
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: selling speeches through a Russian bank. Would would that have been?

165
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: Is that information that the Trump campaign should ignore? No,

166
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: of course not that that would be information that very

167
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: much should be a part of the discussion of who

168
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: should be the next leader of the free world. It

169
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: would be. It's incumbent on a campaign to look through

170
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: the information they have, to take information about the opponent

171
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: and try to capitalize on that. That's what the whole

172
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: game is. But they set up the standard we're just

173
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: taking information from a foreigner was automatically some not just

174
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: unethical behavior, but was criminal. That's what they're saying. It

175
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: was criminal. And yet we know it is a matter

176
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: of record. It is a matter of fact that they

177
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: did this on the Hillary Clinton side, that they took

178
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: information from foreigners, that they use that information to try

179
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: to take down the Trump campaign and even passed it

180
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: on to the FBI and made its way to the

181
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: intelligence community. Isn't that information? Isn't that a thing of

182
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: value under their own? But see, the standards that they

183
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: set up are all temporary. The narratives that they use

184
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: in order to attack the president. Are you can't take

185
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: them and and flip it around on the other side

186
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: no matter what the facts are, because it's not about

187
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: what's right and wrong, it's about what damages President Trump.

188
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: Let's keep this in mind. Is today there was a whole, oh,

189
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: a whole flurry of freak out over Trump deleting a tweet.

190
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: Here's here's what he tweeted out. Russia, Russia, Russia. That's

191
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: all you heard at the beginning of this witch hunt hoax.

192
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: And now Russia has disappeared because I had nothing to

193
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: do with Russia helping me to get elected. It was

194
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: a crime that didn't exist. So now the DEM's in

195
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: their partner, the fake news media, say he fought back

196
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: again this phony crime that didn't exist, this horrendous false accusation,

197
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: and he shouldn't fight back, he should just sit back

198
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: and take it. Could this be obstruction? No, Muller didn't

199
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: find obstruction either, presidential harassment. Now. I think that everything

200
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: that Trump is saying in this tweet, by the way,

201
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: is true. But what did they what did the press,

202
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: the anti trumpers, the left, what they what they hone

203
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: in on? Right away? Russia has disappeared because I had

204
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected,

205
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: he wrote. They're saying, oh, well, see, now he's admitting

206
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: that Russia helped him to get elected. No, what he's

207
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: saying is that he had nothing to do with the

208
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: narrative that they have been pushing, which is that Russia

209
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: helped him to get elected. Now, did Russia try to

210
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: help him? I'm sure? I mean, do I think that

211
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: they use their social media accounts to advance Trump at

212
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: the expensive Hillaryah, But it didn't matter the moment you

213
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: put this into any kind of im text and add

214
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: just a tiny bit of perspective to it, it is

215
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: quite clear that there's no conceivable way that the minuscule

216
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: Russian Facebook advisor or releasing information about Bernie Standers and

217
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. We already knew all this about Hillary more

218
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: or less. We already knew the fix was in against Bernie.

219
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: Didn't didn't tell us. This wasn't some earth shattering revelation.

220
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: This wasn't all of a sudden Oh my gosh, I

221
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: loved Hillary before, but now that I found out about Bernie.

222
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: Absolutely not, absolutely not. But they're saying, oh, he's admitting

223
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: that Russia helped him to get elected, and that's why

224
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: he deleted this. You know, the president's tweeting, I generally

225
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: find him using. He does open himself up though to

226
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: some some problems sometimes, but look, there's always a risk,

227
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: there was a risk in any communication of miscommunication or

228
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: of missing the mark with what the point is that

229
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: you're trying to make. And the President sometimes his tweets

230
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: are spot on and they're fantastic and I really can't

231
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: get enough of it. And yeah, times you see that

232
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: this is a president who can be a little bit,

233
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: a little bit of a loose cannon. Sometimes that's that's

234
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: a true thing. He can be a loose cannon. That

235
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: is a reality. But the Russia collusion thing, it's still here.

236
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: We are, after the Mueller probe finishes, after all the

237
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: stuff that we've been through, you still have Democrats who,

238
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: most of the Democratic Party, clings to this. They act

239
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: like it's true. They are impervious to facts. They do

240
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: not allow, they do not allow information that has contrad

241
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: this narrative to seep into their minds and change their

242
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: thinking on anything. It's just still far too comfortable and

243
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: far too comforting for Libs to believe that Donald Trump

244
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: cheated and that that's how he won, and that we're

245
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: not for Trump cheating. There would never have been a

246
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: Donald Trump presidency. And you'll you cannot convince them otherwise,

247
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: you cannot. We've got I know, I've been talking about

248
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: bar and his very important comm that basically Mueller is

249
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: full of it. Muller's full of it, and Mueller is

250
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: not has not been a good guy in this process,

251
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: has shown us who he really is. And we should

252
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: understand that all this stuff about how Mueller is like

253
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: the last honest man in America was just propaganda that

254
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: the Left was thrown out there because they really, they

255
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: really wanted they wanted to believe it. They wanted as

256
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: many people as possible to buy into it because it

257
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: just would have given more power to whatever charge Mueller

258
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: did go with. But because he didn't go with charges,

259
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: in a sense, we've learned even more about his motives.

260
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: We've learned even more about who he is and what

261
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: he's trying to do here, which is that this was

262
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: all this was all men as a handoff to the

263
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: Congress for impeachment. It's not Mueller's job, it's not his prerogative.

264
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: And you know, you have these these partisan players that

265
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: were at the top of the US law enforce in

266
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: pure oxy for a long time, Kobe and Mueller, and

267
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: these are not people that should have had the powers

268
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: they did. They should not be trusted, They should not

269
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: be treated like these paragons are virtue because they're partisans, Folks.

270
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: Andy McCarthy's up next. Why didn't he investigate Struck and

271
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: Paige at McCabe and called me and all the lies

272
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: and brand him and the lives. Why didn't comb me

273
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: come clean? Why didn't Colly come clean and say the

274
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: things that he knows are fact? Why didn't Muller investigate

275
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: combing his best friend? President fighting back here, folks, doesn't

276
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: like to take this stuff lying down? What should we

277
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: make of you know, the aftermath after Muller's press conference,

278
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: and now we're waiting for this IG report. Andy McCarthy's

279
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: with us now, Andy, great to have you, obviously, Andy's

280
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: from National Review and Fox News. What did you meet?

281
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: I really want to ask you this yesterday, but we

282
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: got you today. This press conference that Muller put on there,

283
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: What the heck was that? Well? I think Buck that

284
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: he was probably unhappy with the way that he was

285
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: criticized after the report came out for not deciding the

286
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: one thing that he was even arguably needed to decide.

287
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: I don't think there should have been a special counsel

288
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: at all, But even if you if you think there

289
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: should have been one, by the time he got the case,

290
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: this is mainly an impeachment investigation. I think collusion went

291
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: by the boards pretty quick. So the one thing he

292
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: was arguably needed for is to decide whether the president

293
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: obstructed justice, and he didn't decide it. So he got

294
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: a lot of criticism for that, I think rightly so,

295
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: and he's not happy about it. So he's out there

296
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: trying to number one, explain himself. But number two, Buck,

297
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: I think this was always an impeachment investigation, and I

298
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: think his parting shot going out the door was to

299
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: try to make it clear that that was the way

300
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: he saw it. What do you make of bars comments

301
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: that there was nothing stopping Muller from saying, yeah, no

302
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: laws were broken here, But the DJ guidance is that

303
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: we can't bring charges. That's been my take on this

304
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: all along. But am I missing something? No, you're absolutely right.

305
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: The prosecutor's job, there's two levels that we need to

306
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: talk about this. The prosecutor who's assigned to the case,

307
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: and then there's the supervision and the special counsel regulations

308
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,719
Speaker 1: buck are designed to make the relationship between the special

309
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: counsel and the Attorney General pretty much the analogous to

310
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: any relationship between an assistant US Attorney and the US

311
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: Attorney or his supervisor in a US Attorney's office. So

312
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: what happens is the line prosecutor who is investigating the

313
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: case comes to a conclusion about whether there's enough evidence

314
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: to charge or not, and then you bring that to

315
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: your supervisor, who number one decides yes or no, I

316
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: agree with you about whether there's enough evidence to charge,

317
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: and number two, whether there are any institutional or policy

318
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 1: reasons who are not going forward. And that's not to

319
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: say that those can't be flagged by the line prosecutor.

320
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: But the line prosecutor's job is to decide do we

321
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: have a case or not? And if the Justice Department

322
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: as an institution at that point, if you have a case,

323
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: so you think you have a case, wants to jump

324
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: in and say yes, but we have these policies that

325
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: don't enable us to bring the case, then that's the

326
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: Justice Department's call. But there was no reason either why

327
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: Muller couldn't or shouldn't have made the bottom line call.

328
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: And the claim that you couldn't evaluate the sufficiency of

329
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: the sidence because there was this guidance against indicting a

330
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: sitting president is absurd, I would point out to people,

331
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: and I have been trying to point out to people.

332
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: Notice the guidance buck doesn't say that the president can

333
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: never be indicted. It simply says that a sitting president

334
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: can't be indicted, which means at some point he can

335
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 1: be charged. So somebody has to decide that. And what

336
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: Mueller seems to be saying is it shouldn't be the

337
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: guy who just spent two years investigating it. What is

338
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: supposed to happen when when Trump is out of office?

339
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: Are we supposed to have another two year investigation at

340
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: that point where the prosecutor who's actually going to make

341
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: the decision that he's charged. To me, I mean, that's absurd.

342
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: So you don't even think and I mean this is

343
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: again I've taken this position for days here on the show,

344
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: but it's not even really a good It seems to

345
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: me like Muller's not operating in good faith here. That's

346
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: he's playing politics, and his whole justification for why he

347
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't make the call doesn't hold up. Yeah, well, I

348
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: think Buck, that's not only exactly true, it's obvious if

349
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: you look at the record of what happened here. Let

350
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: me make two points because they're a little bit schemy,

351
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: but but I think it's important to understand in my view,

352
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: this is what happened here. Number one, the reliance on

353
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: The best you can say from Maller is that the

354
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: reliance on the Office of Legal Counsel guidance that a

355
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: sitting president may not be indicted is something he settled

356
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: on at the last minute, long after he decided not

357
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: to decide. And the reason we know that is Muller

358
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: doesn't contend that Barr was wrong. When Barr said that

359
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: on March fifth, which is two and a half weeks

360
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: before he delivers the final report, Muller was emphatic that

361
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: the Office of Legal Counsel guidance was not his reason

362
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: for not making the decision, and when Barr asked him, then, well,

363
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: what is your reasoning, he said that their staff was

364
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: still formulating the reasoning. So I think the best interpretation

365
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 1: here from Muller's point of view is that they're backwards reasoning.

366
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 1: They basically are results oriented. They had already decided not

367
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: to decide, and they were trying to come up with

368
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: a reason, and at the time that he first talked

369
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: to Bar, the OLC guidance was not the reason they

370
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: wanted to rely on. But by the time they did

371
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: the report, it turned out to be the reason because

372
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: they couldn't come up with anything else. More Over, and

373
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: this goes a little bit deeper into it, what's the

374
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: reason for not deciding? And this is what I think

375
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: people should focus on. If Muller had come to Bar

376
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: and said, I think we have a prosecutable obstruction case,

377
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: what would have happened? There would have been a brawl

378
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: inside the Justice Department about what the proper standards for

379
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: evaluating obstruction are. Because Barr and Mueller clearly do not

380
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: agree on this. I mean, that's that's clear from not

381
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: only we've seen Bar's reasoning on this in that memo

382
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: that came out before he was confirmed. We've seen Mueller's

383
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 1: reasoning in the report, and we've heard Barr say that

384
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: he disagreed with Mueller and Rosenstong apparently also disagreed with

385
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: Muller on what obstruction law is. So if they had

386
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: come to the Justice Department, they come to Bar and said,

387
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: we think we have an indictable case, what would have

388
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: happened is that would have gotten bolloxed up in the

389
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: Justice Department and they would have had a big brawl

390
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 1: over whether over you know, what the correct standard was.

391
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: What Mueller wanted, I think was to get this evidence

392
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: to Congress. So what he did instead of provoking a

393
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: big fight that would have settled this at the Justice

394
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: Department level, is he said, I've decided not to decide.

395
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: So what I'm gonna do is I'll give you the

396
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: evidence on one side of the question, and then I'll

397
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: give you the evidence on the other side of the question.

398
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going to exonerate him, wink wink. That means

399
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: I might I think there may be a case here,

400
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: but I won't decide. And that way he didn't provoke

401
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: a fight over what are the impeachment standards in the

402
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: Justice Department. In fact, when Barr decided this when he

403
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: on his own, because Muller abdicated. When Barr decided there

404
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: was no obstruction case, he didn't desturb Mueller's legal framework.

405
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 1: He said that he was deciding this assuming even though

406
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: he didn't agree with it, that Mueller was right on

407
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: the law. But because prosecutors always have to prove corrupt

408
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: intent beyond a reasonable doubt, he didn't think on the

409
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: facts that no matter what the legal standard was, you

410
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to prove intent beyond a reasonable debt.

411
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: But what Mueller accomplished your book was he end ran

412
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: what would otherwise have been a big fight in the

413
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: Justice Department over obstruction and got his evidence to Congress

414
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 1: under circumstances where he now tells Congress, gee, you know,

415
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: I would have charged them, or I might very well

416
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: have charged them, except there was this OLC guidance. But

417
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: wink wink. In this system, the way it works is

418
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: the Congress is the only body that can deal with

419
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: a sitting president. A federal prosecutor can't do that. So

420
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: let me give you my two hundred pages of obstruction evidence.

421
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: And by the way, I think there may be celonies

422
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: in here. And isn't it the case though, that that's

423
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: not his job. That's you know, for people who want

424
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: to tell me that Muller's such a great guy. If

425
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: he's making that decision, he's going well beyond his brief. Yes, well,

426
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: here's the problem there, Buck, he was not given one

427
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: hat to wear. You know, he should have been. He's

428
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: a special castle, so he's supposed to be a subordinate

429
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: federal prosecutor in the Justice Department chain of command, but

430
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: at any given time, he alternatively wears the hats of

431
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: counterintelligence investigator. Because this whole investigation took under the place

432
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: since there was no crime to predigate a criminal investigation,

433
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: it took place under the guise of counterintelligence, right, which

434
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: allowed them to look for a crime without having to

435
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: have one when they started out. So he's part counterintelligence investigator,

436
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: he's part counseled to a congressional impeachment committee, which is

437
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: what I think he ultimately wanted to be, And he's

438
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: part federal prosecutor. And he switches from one hat to

439
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: the next depending on what he needs to accomplish at

440
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: any given moment. Andy McCarthy, everybody check him out on

441
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: National Review. Also you will see him on Fox News. Andy,

442
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: great stuff, and not just because I agree with everything

443
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: you said, and we've agreed with each other on this one.

444
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 1: Thanks so much. We sure have. Thanks Buck, Yeah, thanks Eddie. Yeah, man,

445
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: I didn't even go to law school. And I'm saying

446
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: all this stuff isn't that funny, but it's true. It's

447
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: when you reason these things through. You see, I mean,

448
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: Muller as smaller as a hack, very clear why he

449
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: made these decisions, why he's done what he has done.

450
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: And you know, people just need to come around to

451
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: the reality of this and stop. We need to stop

452
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: living in some fantasy where you know, Saint Muller would

453
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: he would never Oh, I see, Muller would never do

454
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: something to besmirched the office of the Special Council. Please,

455
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: just like Comey was a saint until he wasn't. There

456
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: were no charges none. If you look at if you

457
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: look at Bill Clinton, that very nice gentleman who has

458
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: been so much on my side, as you know, his

459
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: special prosecutor, it was guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, so

460
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: many guilty with me. There was no guilty. Comparing the

461
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: Trump and Clinton Special Council situations or you know, independent prosecutor,

462
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: dependent Council, all the stuff that basically the same thing, right,

463
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: Comparing them is problematic for a lot of reasons. One

464
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: of them is that Bill Clinton was very much guilty,

465
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: and ken Starr said in his report that Bill Clinton

466
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: was guilty of breaking laws. And it is as stretch

467
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: at best to think that charges could have been brought

468
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: against President Trump under a very expansive and I would

469
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: offer to you very flimsy understanding of obstruction and obstruction

470
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: is a bit like conspiracy, Isn't that interesting? They looked

471
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: at conspiracy with the Russians to hack into the or

472
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, to mess with the election, and they looked

473
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: at obstruction in terms of the investigation of that. Those

474
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: are two of the most malleable statutes at the federal

475
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: government that federal agencies have at their disposal. They can

476
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: come up with some very novel interpretations to get people

477
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: on either conspiracy or on obstruction. And often if you

478
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: ask a skilled prosecutor, they'll say, well, what's what's conspiracy

479
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: or what's obstruction? It's kind of whatever the prosecutor says

480
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: it is. And even in that environment, even with that

481
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: being true, they have not been able to come up

482
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: with President Trump broke the law. And the one place

483
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: where they seem to think they've got the strongest case

484
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:17,479
Speaker 1: is on telling Don McGann to fire, to fire you know,

485
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: UM personnel over DJ and that didn't happen. So now

486
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: you're now it's attempted obstruction. But if the president wanted

487
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: to fire somebody, he could just fire them. So what

488
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: was he just venting? And he was talking to an advisor?

489
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: And can you even obstruct an investigation of something that's

490
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: a fraud? You know, is that something that you can

491
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: even do? These are all the questions that are that

492
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: still remain, And yet what they offer to us is, oh,

493
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: the president's so guilty they have to impeach them. We'll

494
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: get an appeachment a little bit. But Bill Clinton, this

495
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: was as as clear and egregious of a violator, or

496
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say egregious. This is as clear a violation

497
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: as you're gonna find, you know, lying under oath about

498
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: something that we now know. And he even admits a

499
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: lot under oath about just thought that he could play

500
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,479
Speaker 1: these weird definition games to get around it's not going

501
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: to I wasn't going to cut the mustard. But Trump

502
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: also was going on offense a bit here because he

503
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: realizes that this is now just a battle of narrative.

504
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: This has turned into a political fight it's not really

505
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: a legal fight anymore. It's really about politics involved here.

506
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: And Trump said, look, Muller's a conflicted guy. You know,

507
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: Muller's somebody who should never have been trusted in this role,

508
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: should never have been put in this position. Placlap eight.

509
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: He wanted the FBI job and he didn't get it,

510
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: and the next day he was picked a special counsel.

511
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: So you tell somebody I'm sorry, you can't have the job,

512
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: and then after you say that, he's gonna make a

513
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: ruling on you. It doesn't work that way. Plus we

514
00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: had a business dispute. Plus his relationship with Tomy was extraordinary.

515
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: You know, he's saying that this is a guy who's

516
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: opposed to him, it's a guy who doesn't like him.

517
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot to you know, a

518
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: lot to suggest that Komy doesn't like him, Mueller doesn't

519
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: like him. You know, these are guys who are part

520
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: of the establishment. These are guys who are part of

521
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: what you'd consider the permanent class, the permanent bureaucracy in DC.

522
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: And they have very high opinions of themselves. I think

523
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: they're really important, and they're big players in history. And

524
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 1: they both Komey and Muller have inserted themselves pretending to

525
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: be these nonpartisan Oh it's just about doing what's right

526
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: public servants, but they've inserted themselves in very political ways

527
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: in this whole process. So, you know, I think the

528
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: President's on solid ground when he's making making this case.

529
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: But I also want to point out that the president

530
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get much in the immigration today.

531
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: The President's promising a major an nowtment having to do

532
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: with the border. He's saying that something big is in

533
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: the works for the border. Play clip seven. This is

534
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: a big league statement, but that we are going to

535
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: do something very dramatic on the border. Democrats will not

536
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: give us laws. They will not change laws, they will

537
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: not meet, they will not do anything. They want to

538
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: have open borders, they want to have prime they want

539
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: to have drugs. Boring it. We have brought something to

540
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: the light of the people. They see now it's a

541
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: national emergency and most people agree. The Democrats agree to,

542
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: but they won't give us the legislation you need to

543
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: fix them. No place in the world has what we

544
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: have in terms of ridiculous immigration laws. So I will

545
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: be making a major statement. I would say, my biggest

546
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: statement on the border, probably today or tomorrow's promising major statement,

547
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: maybe his biggest statement. It's a guy who's saying, build

548
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: the wall, Build the wall. Big statement coming up on

549
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: the border. I don't know what it is. I'm going

550
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: to call some of my White House sources and see

551
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: if I can get a little bit of a you know,

552
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of an inside track to it. But

553
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: President saying big things coming, So we'll have to wait

554
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: and see on that one. But you know what else

555
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: might be coming. Impeachment. We will discuss that coming up

556
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: here in a moment. Nothing is off the table, but

557
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: we do want to make such a compelling case, such

558
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: an iron cloud cast case, that even the Republican Senate,

559
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: which at the time seems to be not an objective jury,

560
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: will be convinced of the path that we have to

561
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,959
Speaker 1: take as a country. I still think this goes back

562
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: to democratic talking points. So what they want, and this

563
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: is what the truth is. Their impeachment to their base

564
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: is like the wall is to our base. This is

565
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: their fundraising thing. And the truth is this is a

566
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: made up, false problem in crisis, but our wall is

567
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: a real crisis. I'm glad that Brad Parscal who's running

568
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: the Trump re election re election effort, out of that

569
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: part of the end that this is not like the

570
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: wall for the base, because the base really wants the wall.

571
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: That's people like me are saying, Hey, we were promised

572
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: a wall, but let's let's dig in a bit more

573
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: into this impeachment issue. I don't want to get diverted

574
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 1: to a wall. You know, we haven't talked about immigration

575
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: much on the show. Hasn't gotten better, folks, Still a crisis.

576
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: Just I'm just reminding everyone still has not been not handled,

577
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: not settled by the administration. But we have to deal

578
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: with impeachment right now. Nancy Pelosi says, nothing is off

579
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: the table. We want to make an ironclad case. Do

580
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: they really expect does any Democrat expect us to believe

581
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: that they believe they'll be able to make a more

582
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: compelling case about Trump's shortcomings and the reasons for Trump

583
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: being a peach than what Muller has already done. And

584
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: we know Muller's a partisan. We know Muller hates Trump.

585
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: He showed us this. There can be no surprise anymore

586
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: about this. But Pelosi's not sure she wants to tell everybody.

587
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: I think they're going to do it. They're going to

588
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: impeach the president. I think they're going to do it.

589
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,919
Speaker 1: I don't think that they can help themselves. This isn't

590
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: a normal presidency for them. This is a moment where

591
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: they think that everything that the Democrats, everything the left

592
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: believes and holds dear and sacred, if they really hold

593
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: anything sacred, they think that that is threatened by Trump.

594
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 1: And given that mindset, it's just I think very unlikely

595
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: that they'd be able to pass the opportunity to impeach him.

596
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: And they're going to do it just so they can

597
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: say they did it. They think it's going to be

598
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: useful tactically against the president in his reelection campaign. And

599
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: there's there's a big part of this that is Catharsis

600
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: for them. You know, this is they're working out their

601
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: issues here. There's a sense of a vindication and validation

602
00:35:54,440 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 1: that will come from an impeachment of the president. And

603
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: that's why when when she says, you know, Republicans are

604
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: going to be convinced of the path you have a day,

605
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's this is so disingenuous. Nancy knows whether

606
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,959
Speaker 1: she's slowing down a few steps or not. Nancy knows

607
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: Republicans are never in a million years, based on all

608
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: the information we have right now, going to go along

609
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: with voting against, voting to impeache Trump in the House

610
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: and then certainly to remove him in the sentence. She

611
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: knows that's not going to happen. Justin Amash aside, you

612
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: know that guy always always kind of struck me as

613
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: a smarmy grandstander. Anyway, he cares a lot about about FISA, right,

614
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: He's he's been a big Oh I'm mister libertarian. I

615
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: worry about spying. No spying on Americans. What about the

616
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: spying on Carter Page, Amash, you got any thoughts on that?

617
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: What about the spying on George Papadopoulos. The not yet

618
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: has proved, Well, there was spying on General Flynn. It's

619
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 1: just that we believe that was probably the at least

620
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: the theories that that was incidental because he was speaking

621
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: to the Russian ambassador. But you know, there was surveillance obviously,

622
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: That's how they got that leaked conversation that they had

623
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: the conversational League in the first place. But I don't

624
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: see Amash raising any alarms, but any of that, and

625
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: mister libertarian man seems to me that's something that he

626
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: skips right past. I give Rand Paul credit at least

627
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: for saying that we do need to look in it.

628
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: You know, Rand Paul has always been somebody that he

629
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: doesn't have the political skills needed to win the presidency,

630
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: never mind I think, to run the country. But his

631
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: ideas in general appeal to me because I think he

632
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: comes from this place, this really rarefied place in politics,

633
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: this this very and it feels like it's evaporating with

634
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: every passing year. He comes to this place of you

635
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: know what, I don't want to tell you what to

636
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: do all the time. I don't want to make you

637
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: do lots of things you don't want to do. I

638
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: don't want the government in charge of every aspect of

639
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: your life. And I like that. I find that comforting.

640
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't believe Rand Paul wants to be a benevolent

641
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: dictator in some capacity. I think a lot of Democrats

642
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: and even some Republicans kind of do if they had

643
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: their ability, if they had the ability to do so.

644
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: But but Rand has been all over the FISA issue,

645
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: which there's no way we're going to come out of

646
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: this Inspector General report from the DOJ and all the

647
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: Russia collusion origin stuff. There's no way we come away

648
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: from this without realizing the FISA was abused, because it

649
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: was abused, and then understanding that that means there has

650
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: to be some changes so that it cannot be used

651
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: for spying purposes, for political spying purposes again in the future.

652
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: Here's here's a Rampaul had a real libertarian Rand Paul

653
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: versus amash A. I think opt opportunistic libertarian. Here's a

654
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: Rampaulsey by thirteen. I think the President has the ability

655
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: to do it by executive order. He could say to

656
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: the FBI that from now on, our policy is that

657
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 1: the FBI has to go to get a court order

658
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: or a warrant in a public court to search this

659
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: database for an Americans information. Now it's different for foreigners.

660
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: We spawn foreigners all the time and there's a lower standard.

661
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: But for an American, it's extraordinary that our own intelligence

662
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: community that's supposed to spawn foreigners was spying on the

663
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: Trump campaign. So this shouldn't happen either to President Trump

664
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: but to any future president of either. This is such

665
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 1: a profoundly important point he makes that there was spying

666
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: on a presidential campaign, and we need to not accept

667
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 1: that there's nothing okay about this. You know, we're we're

668
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: lectured by Democrats and leftists about how, oh, Russian interference

669
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: in the election. What about the deep state interference in

670
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 1: the election, which is real, unlike the Russian interference, which

671
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: was minimal from the Russian side. When I say minimal,

672
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: I mean of minimal impact. Oh no, we could argue

673
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: about this all day long. We all know it didn't

674
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: do anything. It didn't change anything. It was it was

675
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 1: really essentially the equivalent of like a Russian prank. I'm

676
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: not saying it was funny, but there's no serious argument

677
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: that this changed the ut in the election. But the

678
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: Trump team had nothing to do with it. We all

679
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 1: know that now. But on the other side of things,

680
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,280
Speaker 1: there was foreign interference in the election. Christopher Steele's a foreigner.

681
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: Christopher Steele used Russian therefore for in subsources and pass

682
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: that information to contacts in the media to run a

683
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: smear campaign, but also brought the dacier made its way

684
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: into the government apparatus itself, and federal spy agencies or

685
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 1: federal agencies with the ability to spy. In the case

686
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: of the FBI, they used it. This is the big,

687
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: the big fear, and this is why I think you

688
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:02,760
Speaker 1: see Komey and so many of these once incredibly sanctimonious.

689
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: That's why we call him sanctatomy. Incredibly sanctimonious officials. Some

690
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,439
Speaker 1: of them have toned it down a little bit because

691
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: I think that they realized that they're going to have

692
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: some splaining to do. They're going to have to sit

693
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 1: down and answer questions in front of the American people

694
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: about why would you use OPO research for a spy

695
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: a secret spying court and think that that's okay. You know,

696
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: the real scandal in all this, I mean we've been told, oh,

697
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: the Russian you know, the Russians and this and that.

698
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: The real scandal on this is that the Trump campaign

699
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: was spied on under false pretenses. We were lied to

700
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: about that. We were actually told that anybody who believed

701
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: they were spied on, and this was a year a

702
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: year after the election, and who believe it there was

703
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: spying was crazy and lying. And then it turned out

704
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: there was spying where they said that it was justified.

705
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: We're gonna find out very soon. This is going to

706
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: come out of the Inspector General report this month. I

707
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 1: believe that there was spying and it wasn't just to

708
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: find What do we do then, we want to talk

709
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: about undermining our institutions and protecting the sanctity of our democracy.

710
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: What do we do when we find out, as we will,

711
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: that the fires A court and the FBI, the DOJ

712
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: were used as a partisan weapon in a presidential election?

713
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: How do we handle that? You are the ones who

714
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: will invent and define the next generation of air warfare,

715
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 1: and you are the ones who will secure American victory

716
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: all the time, victory to dominate the future, America must

717
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: rule the skies. And that is what your time at

718
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: this great academy has been all about. Preparing you to

719
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to learn to adapt and to win, win, win,

720
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: win so much you're going to get so tired of winning.

721
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: But not really, not really, we never get tired of

722
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: winning doing, not tired of winning yet. President Trump, he

723
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: was speaking at the Air Force Academy. And you know

724
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: one one aspect of this presidency that is I believe

725
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 1: intentionally underreported on and skipped over by the psychotically hostile press.

726
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they really do have a problem. I mean,

727
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: they hate this president in a way that is that

728
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: is unnatural, unhealthy. It's not just about politics. It's much

729
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: deeper than that. And trumped arrangement syndrome is a is

730
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: a real and I would argue, and I'm sure you

731
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: could get some professionals to weigh in on this an

732
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: identifiable phenomenon. It is far too powerful in the minds

733
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: of some people. You know, I know about some of

734
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: the different mental illnesses that are out there, and a

735
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: lot of it is based on the sense of exaggerated

736
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: threat or And this is how people get anxiety and

737
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: people get OCD. You know, they worry aboh this is

738
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: this might have happened, or that might have happened. You know,

739
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 1: somebody will think that I would they're driving a car

740
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,959
Speaker 1: and they they ran somebody over, but they just didn't

741
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: know they ran somebody over. I mean, this is this

742
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: is the way liberals think about Trump. They must know

743
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 1: at some level that their lives are going to be fine,

744
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: nothing is really going to happen. That's but Trump is

745
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 1: destroying the world and ruining the country and undermining our republic.

746
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: And they take all that stuff as some kind of

747
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: personal affront, but putting that, casting that aside for a moment,

748
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: Trump is very well liked. And maybe it's just because

749
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: most of the military folks that I know tend to

750
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: be conserved anyway. But it's very well like with the

751
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: military and is certainly deeply, deeply respectful of the military.

752
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: And I think that the Trump really does hold people

753
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: that serve this country in incredibly high esteem, which which

754
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: we would want for any commander in chief. And I

755
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: think that that's that that tends to have been the

756
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: case historically. But this brings me to the controversy around

757
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: the USS John McCain, all right, which is a navy

758
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: ship that people were saying as of what was it

759
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: as of yesterday that the John McCain. I want to

760
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: make sure I get some of these details right for

761
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: you here. It's it's pretty remarkable that they covered up

762
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: the name of the John. The initial story was that

763
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: they covered up the you know, the the John McCain

764
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:34,439
Speaker 1: name on the ship with a tarp and they gave

765
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: the sailors on this naval vessel the day off because

766
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 1: when Trump was in Japan, it was it was docked

767
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: in Japan, there was a sensitivity to Trump seeing this

768
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: at all. I mean, I just I never believed this.

769
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: I never thought that this was a real thing. I

770
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: never thought that this was what happened. It was so

771
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: interested to see many, including many conservatives, who were usually,

772
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: if not favorable toward Trump, at least not infected with

773
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: Trump derangement syndrome. Right. I mean, usually there are people

774
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: that would give him some kind of benefit of the doubt.

775
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: But here's what they say. Officers were told to keep

776
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: USS John McCain from Trump's view during Japan visit. CBS

777
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: News has confirmed this. CBS News Senior Nation Security correspondent

778
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: David Martin reports that a US Indo Pacific Command official

779
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 1: wrote an email to Navy and Air Force officials before

780
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: mister Trump's arrival and included instructions for the proper landing

781
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: areas for helicopters and preparations for the USS Wasp, the

782
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: ship on which the President was to speak. The official

783
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: then issued a third instruction, the USS John McCain needs

784
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: to be out of sight. According to the email, which

785
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 1: was first obtained by the Wall Street Journal and then

786
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: other news outlets confirmed its existence. The Washington Post is

787
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: Josh Dawzy tweeted that administration official confirms the story request

788
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: was made to make sure mccainship wasn't visible, but aid

789
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: say Trump wasn't involved in the request, but it was

790
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: meant to prevent any potential ire from POTUS from the

791
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: president United States and the Journal reporter that when a

792
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: Navy commander expressed surprise at the instruction, the US in

793
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: No Pacific Command official answered, first, I heard of it

794
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: as first. I heard of it as well, and the

795
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: officials said he would talk to the White House Military

796
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: Office to get more information. Trump has said he was

797
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: not informed about anything having to do with the Navy

798
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: ship USS. John McCain, during his visits to Japan, noticed, Now,

799
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: this is a This is a manufactured controversy, entirely manufactured.

800
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: There is nothing to indicate whatsoever. We have zero evidence

801
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:49,879
Speaker 1: of any kind, and zero indicators that President Trump himself

802
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: was asking for this, that President Trump wanted this to

803
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,959
Speaker 1: be covered up. So then why is it Trump's fault?

804
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: Why is it oh, because someone else assumed that he

805
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 1: would be And look, it would be a very petty thing.

806
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. You know, if Trump were

807
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: to make a scene about this or to be angry

808
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: about it. It's very petty, but you can't blame him

809
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: for what somebody else thought might be going on in

810
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: Trump's head. This is yet again another version, another manifestation,

811
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: a symptom of the Trump's arrangement syndrome that has become

812
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: such a powerful force in American politics. It's not it's

813
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: not the president's fault that somebody thought that he's going

814
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: to be hypersensitive about this, and yet there was all

815
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 1: this trashing of the president around it, as though this

816
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: was a request that he made. Well, he didn't make

817
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: the request. No one says otherwise. Yet it's just it

818
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,919
Speaker 1: really is just maddening. And you know, there's so many

819
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: areas where I think you could have a you could

820
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: have very legitimate criticism, very legitimate criticism of this president.

821
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: There are things that he has not delivered on yet. Look,

822
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: I think he's doing a very good job, but there

823
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 1: are areas with any president. You know, I'm not here,

824
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: not here to worship a politician. We're here to push

825
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: forward agenda and try to find the truth and understand

826
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 1: what's happening in the world around us. But what they

827
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,959
Speaker 1: left keeps doing is coming up with fake reasons fake

828
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: news to hate Trump, and then they wonder why we

829
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: take everything all their criticisms with a grain of salt. Well,

830
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: maybe it's because they are not to be trusted on this.

831
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 1: Maybe they have shown us quite clearly that Donald Trump

832
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: is someone who they cannot object never mind objectively cover.

833
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 1: They can't cover him without showing venom. I'm just showing hatred, bile.

834
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,720
Speaker 1: Trump likes the military. There if there are some things

835
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: I'm quite sure of. He takes the trade deal with

836
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: China very seriously. He loves his family. He doesn't like CNN,

837
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: but he really respects the military. Jerry, there's never been

838
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 1: anything people say, oh Buck, but what about when he

839
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: criticized this veteran of that veteran. Yeah, he has beefs

840
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: with individuals. Does anyone really think that somebody who serves

841
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: them in the military, who becomes a political opponent of

842
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: someone else's is beyond is beyond being attacked? Now, I

843
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 1: wouldn't have attacked some of the people that serve the

844
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: way that Trump has. You know, he looked. Trump fights

845
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: dirtier than I would. But he's the president and I'm not.

846
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: And there's probably a pretty good reason for that. But

847
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: he does respect our military. I mean this is just

848
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: also from the Air Force Academy graduation yesterday, just to

849
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: hear the President talking about this play twenty one to

850
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: the nearly one thousand kiddets who I have agreed to

851
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 1: shake every single hand. They gave me a choice, hey said, sir,

852
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: you don't have to shake any hands. Some people do that.

853
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: Those are the smart ones too. Out of you. You

854
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: can shake one hand to the one person top of

855
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: the class. You could shake ten fifty or one hundred,

856
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 1: and you could also stay for a thousand, and I'm

857
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:16,919
Speaker 1: staying for a thousand. Okay, it's your commander in chief.

858
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:21,360
Speaker 1: Everybody staying in shake a thousand Air Force graduates hands.

859
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,359
Speaker 1: Just remember that because the press doesn't want to talk

860
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: about it. There's this fascinating lawsuit that has been filed

861
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: in New York City on privilege theory or the end

862
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: result of privilege theory, which ties into white privilege, and

863
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: on one of these ideas that has exploded in popularity

864
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 1: on the left. I saw some interesting statistics yesterday and

865
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: a researcher had gone through and looked for things like

866
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: using lexis nexus. So it just pulls up all the

867
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: different times that it appears in news publications and in

868
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: the media, and looked up usage of terms like white supremacy,

869
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: white privilege, unconscious bias, and what you find is that

870
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 1: these are terms that all of a sudden explode in popularity.

871
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 1: And in the last few years there have been a

872
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: number of these where this might have existed before, but

873
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. The left asides that it's it's

874
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: almost a campaign just to use the word or use

875
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: the phrase enough that it becomes seared into our minds,

876
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: that there's this thing called white privilege, for example. But

877
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:36,879
Speaker 1: this is the This is a specific lawsuit in New

878
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: York City against the New York City Department of Education.

879
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: There are three employees who are are all white, although

880
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: their names are Lois Herrera, Jay Murray, and Laura phi

881
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: ju um I. Maybe Lois Herrera's maiden name isn't Herrera,

882
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 1: but that strikes me as usually if your name is Harrare,

883
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: you're Hispanic. But they're apparently white or whatever. And they

884
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: have sued the City of New York because they claim

885
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: that they were demoted dramatically and replaced by non white

886
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: employees who had lesser qualifications for the post and that

887
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: this is not something that occurred in a vacuum, That

888
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:26,879
Speaker 1: there's a lot of rhetoric and a lot of teachings

889
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: and theorizing and all this stuff that they're subjected to

890
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 1: in the New York City Department of Education, which I

891
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: imagine is kind of like a time work back into

892
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: the Soviet Union in terms of its bureaucracy and the

893
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:41,919
Speaker 1: assaults on truth that I'm sure are a regular part

894
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: of what goes on there. But they say they had

895
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:50,439
Speaker 1: people replaced them with lesser qualifications, and they would would

896
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 1: hear things from their supervisors like, quote, white people had

897
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 1: to white employees had to take a step back and

898
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 1: yield to colleagues of color and recognize that values of

899
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 1: white culture are supremacist end quote. M. There's so much

900
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: there isn't there That we usually think of the efforts

901
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 1: at at a kind of racial equity balancing. We think

902
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:30,800
Speaker 1: of affirmative action, right, We think of fairness through race

903
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 1: as as it's practice with different legal mechanisms, as being well,

904
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: we're going to advance some people. And now I have

905
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 1: been and always and always will be. I mean, I

906
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: think affirmative action is ethically and legally wrong. I do

907
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: not agree with it. I do not believe in it.

908
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 1: And everyone who hears me say that on Lefell of course,

909
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: because you would. Yeah, that's right. I'm white and everything

910
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: everything has been handed to me. I've never had to

911
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: work hard. My white privilege has just coasted me through everything.

912
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: You know, and the people that I know who have

913
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 1: had a really tough time in life, and I know,

914
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: struggle with addiction and homelessness and who are white. You know,

915
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: they just didn't capitalize enough on their white privilege. I

916
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: guess you know that most of the desperately poor in

917
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 1: this country are white. In fact, doesn't seem to matter

918
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: that that's their fault. I guess the left says, because

919
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,359
Speaker 1: they didn't really maximize that white privilege. You know, they didn't.

920
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: They didn't turn in that white privilege card to get

921
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 1: all the goodies that come with it. I mean, this

922
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: is an offensive but now very widespread and really powerful

923
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: social theory that's foisted, that has been foisted on the

924
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: American people. And if you don't, as a white person,

925
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: if you push back, oh, of course, of course you do.

926
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 1: You don't want to admit your privilege. This, this is

927
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: a stupid idea. It's unethical to judge people based upon

928
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: their skin color any context as unethical. But what you

929
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: have now is not just some people get an advantage

930
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,240
Speaker 1: because of their non whiteness. But that's not a privilege,

931
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 1: you see, that's just fair when you get something and

932
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 1: you're not white. And this is explicitly what happens on

933
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 1: college campuses, and you know you are. There have even

934
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 1: been points systems, now they got rid of that. There

935
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:10,919
Speaker 1: have been quotas, Oh they got rid of that. Acts

936
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: that's too obvious. But non white students, for example, we'll

937
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: get into a school with lower grades, lower SATs, and

938
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: we all know what's going on, and people pretend, oh,

939
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: we can't figure this out. No, we know what's going on.

940
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:27,799
Speaker 1: But that's not privilege, that's just fair. Huh. It's a

941
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 1: very convenient way of describing a process by which some

942
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: people are given privileges over others. But as I look

943
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: at this situation, the department education which you have, are

944
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: people who are demoted, you know. And this is a

945
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: logical extension of this white privileged theory, meaning that if

946
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 1: you think that some people should be advanced in order

947
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 1: to balance out the white privilege that their peers enjoy.

948
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 1: Then you should also probably you should also prepare yourself

949
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: for the possibility that some people who enjoy white privilege

950
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: must be pulled back, must suffer a bit, their careers

951
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 1: must suffer. They must be paid less than they've been,

952
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,800
Speaker 1: They've become a customer getting paid. They must be removed

953
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 1: from the prestigious position or the more advanced position that

954
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: they have. I mean, because you gotta make room. You

955
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: gotta make room for those without the white privilege. Well,

956
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 1: in New York this is now being fought, and I'm hoping,

957
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 1: although I'm very skeptical that this will be the case,

958
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that this will be a successful a successful case.

959
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: You cannot have this. You cannot have a well functioning, honest, strong,

960
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: espree to core organization that's going to demote people in

961
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: order to play kate this theory of well, some people

962
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 1: have had it easy because of their skin color, and

963
00:57:57,800 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: other people have had it had it hard because of

964
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 1: skin color. Okay, how much harder? What's enough? Why? You know,

965
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: if they really believe this, meaning, if the left is

966
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: on board with this thinking, why not make why not

967
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: say that everyone at a heart you know that Harvard

968
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: needs to just go non white, No more white students

969
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: at Harvard. You got to balance it out. There's been

970
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: so much oppression, it's been so racist for so long.

971
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 1: People would laugh and say, oh, Buck, that's such a

972
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: dumb idea. Okay, but why is it a dumb idea?

973
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: Why shouldn't there be more drama. Why shouldn't we have

974
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: these more dramatic gestures, you know, why shouldn't we do

975
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: things that incur obvious costs to individuals who have quote

976
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: white privilege. I mean I reject. I think white privilege

977
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 1: is not a thing. I do not think it is.

978
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: It is a real it is a real concept worthy

979
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: of certainly any government action, because what is it really

980
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: saying that when you have a majority, Well, a majority

981
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: in any culture is going to be treated in some

982
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: capacity like the majority. But you can't mandate through law

983
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: a change in that cultural reality. And you certainly shouldn't

984
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: mandate through law changes in hiring, in college, you know,

985
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: college admissions and all these things, because there's some amorphous

986
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: there's some amorphous notion of this is more fair the

987
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 1: government acting in ways that is that is unconstitutional, that

988
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: is unfair, that is violation of the Equal Protection Clause.

989
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: That's not going to make things better. It's only going

990
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 1: to make things worse. Teaching the whole generation coming up

991
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 1: now through school that there is this thing called white privilege,

992
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 1: and then not really ever addressing well, what would that

993
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: mean if it were true? What are we supposed to

994
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 1: do about that? Is just a recipe for a lot

995
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: of victimology thinking and also opens the door to a

996
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 1: lot of resentment. Let's be honest resentment on all sides.

997
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if you tell someone that that the individual

998
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: sitting across from them has a lot of unearned a

999
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: lot of unearned advantages, the persons sitting there, especially if

1000
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 1: they feel like they've had a they've had a tough

1001
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: go in life, is going to not think very highly

1002
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: of the individual with the unearned advantages. And at the

1003
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: person who is being told that he or she has

1004
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 1: these unearned advantages, looks across the table and says, well,

1005
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 1: hold on a second, you who does you? The person

1006
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: who does not enjoy white privilege in this situation, as

1007
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: a matter of law, have privileges that I do not have.

1008
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: Qualify for programs, qualify for admissions, but but I'm the

1009
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: one with privilege. Is this tears at the fabric of

1010
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 1: the social fabric of this country. And it really does

1011
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 1: also undermine the rule of law. You know, where are

1012
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: they're all equal in the odds of law or not.

1013
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: There is only one kind of still mandated legal racial

1014
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 1: discrimination that exists in this country, and it is punishing

1015
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 1: those who quote have white privilege. That is the only

1016
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:10,439
Speaker 1: legitimate or rather legal discrimination that is still in the books.

1017
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: There's no other discrimination. Non white people do not get

1018
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: discriminated against, but white people because and you say, Buck,

1019
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 1: why do all these liberals, why do all these leftists

1020
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: who are many of whom the majority of whom are white,

1021
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: why do they go along with this? Oh? Because it

1022
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 1: is so useful for their power structure. They benefit from this.

1023
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 1: The identity politics that the left has embraced is a

1024
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: base of power and a base of votes. And it's

1025
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 1: a very simple proposition for any guilt guilt ridden white

1026
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: liberal to embrace, which is just become one. Become one

1027
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 1: of the people that says this stuff, believes this stuff,

1028
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 1: promotes this stuff, and you're not part of the problem anymore.

1029
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: You cleanse yourself of your white privilege sins by agreeing

1030
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 1: that white privilege needs to be confronted, and you have

1031
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: to do nothing beyond that. This is like from the

1032
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 1: al Gore school of just you know, make a lot

1033
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: of money by scaring a lot of people over climate change,

1034
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: don't make any changes to your own life about climate change.

1035
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: And you've done your part. And if you just go

1036
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 1: see the al Gore movie about climate change, you know,

1037
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: and say that you believe in climate change, you've done

1038
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: your part. It's cheap virtue the left so effectively in

1039
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 1: many ways, but it's a it's a recurring theme in

1040
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 1: all left wing politics in this country. It appeals to

1041
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: individual vanity. I'm such a good person. I'm such a thoughtful,

1042
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: care and considered person. So that's why I believe that

1043
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 1: taxes should be higher. Oh wow, that's but do you

1044
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 1: pay higher taxes? Do you send the government more money?

1045
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: Do you want to set an example? No? No No, no, no,

1046
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 1: of course not. You just support in the macro sense,

1047
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: in a theoretical way. You support, you know, taking dramatic

1048
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 1: action to back climate change. You're not going to take

1049
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: it yourself, but you support the idea of you know,

1050
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 1: do you confront white privilege? Well, you know a lot

1051
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 1: of rich Libs still belong to you know, private clubs

1052
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: that are not very interracially diverse. They send their kids

1053
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 1: to schools that are overwhelmingly white, they send their kids

1054
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: to universities that are overwhelmingly white. But but but they

1055
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 1: confront their white privilege. You see, they say that, and

1056
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 1: that's all they have to do. Must be nice to

1057
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 1: go through life such a self satisfied fraud. How will

1058
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: you protect Row v. Wade. We need a federal law

1059
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: to take every principle that's in the Supreme Court decision

1060
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 1: and just make it federal law. Let's give women all

1061
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 1: across this country preaching the wealth gap between white families

1062
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 1: and black families, reparations or not. So I support the

1063
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 1: reparations bill that's in the House to start a commission.

1064
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 1: So we kept to look at all of the options

1065
01:03:56,320 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 1: fifteen billion dollars put into the historically black colleges and university.

1066
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: Speaking of frauds, racial frauds in particular, Elizabeth Warren comes

1067
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: to mind folk haunts herself, and I'm so I'm so

1068
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:18,919
Speaker 1: happy that the President does not back down, say, oh, Pokahonas,

1069
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: it's racist. No, it's not racist's making fun of it's

1070
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: not making fun of Pokehonas I do prefer sometimes the

1071
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: folk hauntess to play on words, but we can call

1072
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: our pocahonas too. Two issues here that she tackles. Let's

1073
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 1: start first with the the reparation. The reparations component of this.

1074
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 1: Nobody really believes I think, I mean, I could be

1075
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 1: wrong here. No one who knows anything about how government

1076
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 1: programs work and the history of any of any effort

1077
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 1: like this in this country. No one really thinks that

1078
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:54,920
Speaker 1: that will change it. Again, the fifty billion dollars to

1079
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 1: historically black colleges, what's that going to do? Is the

1080
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 1: is the are the historically black colleges right now? Do

1081
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 1: they not have large enough endowments for good professors and

1082
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 1: good text with the answers? No. By the way, historically

1083
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: black colleges have a particularly high graduation rate for African

1084
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: American students for four years and also in life, African

1085
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 1: American students from historically black colleges do very well relative

1086
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 1: to similarly situated colleges and universities in terms of earning

1087
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: power and career potential. And what do you know, there's

1088
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:35,959
Speaker 1: there's no issue of affirmative action, right so this we've

1089
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 1: seen this experiment play out the university California system where

1090
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 1: they got rid of racial preferences in schools, and all

1091
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 1: it meant was that there were fewer black and Latino

1092
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 1: students at the very very very elite schools. But the

1093
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 1: graduation rate at some of the more middle tier but

1094
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 1: still very good California schools went up because you can't

1095
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 1: just force people into a program they're not prepared for.

1096
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 1: So there was a greater match of sALS in preparation,

1097
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 1: which meant greater success in getting through four years of college,

1098
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 1: which you'd think is a good thing. But no, the libs,

1099
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,479
Speaker 1: they like the band aid approach. They like that let's

1100
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: just give people the fancy degree that they didn't really

1101
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 1: earn on their academic merits. But you know, white privilege

1102
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: needs to be confronted. Don't even get me started with

1103
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 1: Asian privilege. Is their Asian privilege? Who knows it's worse

1104
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 1: to be Asian applying to elite schools, especially a place

1105
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: like well, now they got rid of racial preferences, but

1106
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 1: some of these, you know, schools like Stanford, some of

1107
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 1: these very elite universities, you do not want to be.

1108
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 1: You do not want to be an Asian American that's

1109
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: the worst category. That's the worst category to be in.

1110
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 1: And then just so this reparations, this is just Elizaeth

1111
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 1: Warren trying to build a greater enthusiasm in the minority community.

1112
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 1: First off, isn't that this bill is going nowhere. No

1113
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 1: one's even clear on what should happen or what it

1114
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 1: should do. And ultimately, you know, the government's money is

1115
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 1: your money. So whenever they decide, whenever the Left is saying, well,

1116
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 1: we're just going to redistribute a bunch of money to people,

1117
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 1: that's coming from the American people, that's money appropriated from taxpayers,

1118
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 1: taken from you by force, and then given to people

1119
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: to do other things with. And that's how we should

1120
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 1: do that. Oh, then our federal law that's going to

1121
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: reinforce Roe v. Wade. That is never going to happen.

1122
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 1: And she knows that's never gonna happen unless they try

1123
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 1: to pull an Obamacare maneuver where by the slimmest majority

1124
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 1: when they have a supermajority, they just forced the other

1125
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: side to to just just stomach whatever it is that

1126
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 1: they want to jam down our throats. Um maybe they

1127
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 1: maybe that'd go that direction. But this is this is

1128
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 1: unserious stuff from Luzeth Warren. But she's an unserious candidate

1129
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 1: at this point. In my mind, she's shown us who

1130
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 1: she really is, and I think that she's uh, it's

1131
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: it's always it's always been about her. I think her

1132
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 1: ego is apparent with these little crusades she goes. You know,

1133
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: her husband. They're making close to a million dollars a

1134
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:03,439
Speaker 1: year between the two of them, but she's all about

1135
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: class warfare. Come on, give me a break. She's not

1136
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 1: running around doing community organizing for thirty thousand dollars a

1137
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:11,959
Speaker 1: year on the South side of Chicago, right. She's gone

1138
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:15,439
Speaker 1: to a lead institutions, gotten paid very well, and now

1139
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 1: she wants to tell everybody else about how they need

1140
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 1: to pay higher taxes and let her determine what they

1141
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 1: can do with their money. I don't think so, e Dubbs.

1142
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: I think E Warren is toast in this primary. Say

1143
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: retweeted a misleadingly edited video of Nancy Pelosi, edited to

1144
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: highlighting exaggerated stuttering. Another fake video is also circling circulating online.

1145
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 1: It's been slowed down to make Pelosi per incoherent ill,

1146
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: perhaps drunk. The video is fake. It's manipulated. Numerous audio

1147
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 1: and video experts and fact checking organizations have confirmed that,

1148
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:48,719
Speaker 1: But that video in particular has been viewed by millions

1149
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: of people on Facebook, and in fact, it's still up

1150
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 1: on Facebook, even though Facebook knows it's fake. They've added

1151
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 1: comments from independent fact checkers to inform people who watch

1152
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 1: it and have made it less cominent, but it is

1153
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: still up there, and YouTube took it down, but it's

1154
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 1: still up on Twitter. They're not even commenting about it.

1155
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 1: The CDN commentariat no longer even really pretends to be

1156
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 1: about the First Amendment. I mean, they view themselves as

1157
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 1: a kind of priesthood of truth, the journalism clergy, if

1158
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 1: you will, though a lot of them would reject the

1159
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 1: notion of being in any kind of religious organization. But

1160
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 1: they think of themselves as a cast, as an elite

1161
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:36,680
Speaker 1: ordained to bring us the information we need to be

1162
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:44,599
Speaker 1: informed citizens. And beyond that, our opinions, our little gripes

1163
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 1: with how they present things, that's all irrelevant to them.

1164
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 1: The video in questionnaire has to do with Nancy Pelosi,

1165
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 1: and it all comes from the same press conference, and

1166
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: I haven't I can't say that I've seen all of

1167
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,639
Speaker 1: the videos. But in one case, I saw a video

1168
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 1: that was not slowed down. It was not. I mean

1169
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 1: when they say things like edited, and they did this

1170
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 1: with the Center for Medical Progress, they kept saying heavily edited,

1171
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: heavily edited. Yeah, because they took twelve hours or whatever

1172
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:11,600
Speaker 1: it was. I forget how many hours. Don't quote me

1173
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 1: on that, but you know, hours and hours of undercover

1174
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: video and edited it down so they actually had something

1175
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 1: that people could watch and see and know what's going on.

1176
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 1: All news broadcasts that you see are in some way

1177
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 1: or another edited. They've got commercial breaks, they run pre

1178
01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 1: roll packages that every piece of writing you see goes

1179
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 1: through an editor to edit. Something is not, in and

1180
01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 1: of itself any admission of dishonesty. But notice how they

1181
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 1: do that. Oh it's been edited. Edited video of Nancy Pelosi.

1182
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:43,680
Speaker 1: Edited video of Nancy Pelosi. I mean, she looks like

1183
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 1: a clown at any speed. The thing she says we

1184
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 1: don't have about dishonest and dumb. The things that she

1185
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 1: says are an embarrassment no matter what you do with

1186
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 1: the editing process. But here you have a prominent, wildly overpaid,

1187
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 1: famous for reasons that are beyond my comprehension journalist and

1188
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:07,640
Speaker 1: Anderson Cooper who is saying that Facebook should take it

1189
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:13,720
Speaker 1: upon itself to police truth, and he skips right over

1190
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 1: the fact that this is well within the boundaries of

1191
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 1: what you could consider satire. And just because you taken

1192
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 1: you an edited videw should we ban everything The Daily Show? Ever?

1193
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 1: Did libs love The Daily Show? You know? The Daily

1194
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:30,760
Speaker 1: Show used to do sit down with people and interview them,

1195
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 1: and they thought they're in a normal interview, but then

1196
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 1: they would add in questions that weren't asked during the interview,

1197
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:38,840
Speaker 1: cut things, and the whole point was to make a

1198
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 1: mockery of and make the person, if they were a

1199
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 1: conservative in particular, look stupid, all post edited, all out

1200
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 1: of context, and the whole thing. They thought that was hilarious.

1201
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 1: Now they might say, well, buck, that's satire, that's comedy, Okay,

1202
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 1: this Pelosi thing is satire. Comedy. They think Facebook should

1203
01:11:56,320 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 1: take it down? Why should Facebook take it down? Not

1204
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 1: threatening anyone, it's not breaking any laws. But this is

1205
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 1: a window and this is a journalist, This is somebody

1206
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: who makes a living in the trafficking of information. Well

1207
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 1: because at CNN, the trafficking of fake news. But this

1208
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 1: is what they do they have. They have no defense

1209
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 1: whatsoever of the First Amendment comes to mind for these people,

1210
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 1: these these uh pampered multi millionaires, not just at CNN,

1211
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 1: it's some of these other places too. But they all

1212
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 1: they care about is that the ideas they don't like

1213
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 1: are suppressed. All they care about is that the other

1214
01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: side loses, and they're a part of sticking it to them.

1215
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 1: That this would mean that Facebook is now responsible for

1216
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 1: deciding what is even just in good taste content. If

1217
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:50,599
Speaker 1: Facebook is left with deciding what's in good taste, I mean,

1218
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 1: I would just say that they should probably ban CNN altogether,

1219
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,800
Speaker 1: because CNN is a joke. As I've been telling you,

1220
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 1: CNN International is an embarrassment. It's an embarrassment to this country.

1221
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: It is anti American propaganda that is being blasted all

1222
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: over the world, and the people who are a part

1223
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: of it, and those who work for it should be ashamed.

1224
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:14,600
Speaker 1: Of course they're not, but they should be. But no

1225
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:17,480
Speaker 1: one's saying, oh, Facebook needs to takedown seeing an international

1226
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 1: Facebook needs to because this where does that end? And

1227
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 1: they're so upset about you know, they're so upset about

1228
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi looking so foolish and dumb because Nancy Pelosi

1229
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 1: is getting old and she's missing a step or two.

1230
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,599
Speaker 1: And she did stutter a lot in that press conference.

1231
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 1: I saw it. She did have a you know, doesn't

1232
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:42,439
Speaker 1: seem that shark. And this the people who say, well,

1233
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:45,000
Speaker 1: but you know, you can't say that about her, or

1234
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:47,599
Speaker 1: you're not a psychiatrist or you're not a medical doctor. Yeah.

1235
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:49,479
Speaker 1: I hear about how Trump is going to be removed

1236
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 1: by the twenty fifth MM and all the time from

1237
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 1: people that now say that Nancy Pelosi's you know that

1238
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 1: that's beyond the pale. Remember when Hillary just passed out

1239
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:02,360
Speaker 1: and flopped in the back of a van and people

1240
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:04,800
Speaker 1: try to cover it up during the election, and then

1241
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 1: we were told, oh, that's terrible and you can admit,

1242
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:10,160
Speaker 1: Oh okay, But but Trump is crazy, they say, is

1243
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 1: actually crazy. These people have absolutely no ethics whatsoever, no decency,

1244
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:23,679
Speaker 1: no honor. Speaking of no decency or honor, Hillary also

1245
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 1: jumped in on this bandwagon, slamming Facebook, saying that they

1246
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:30,759
Speaker 1: should have removed this place seventeen. The big social media

1247
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 1: platforms know their systems are being manipulated by foreign and

1248
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:40,520
Speaker 1: domestic actors to sew division, promote extremism and spread misinformation,

1249
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:44,920
Speaker 1: But they won't get serious about cleaning up their platforms

1250
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 1: unless consumers demanded. And we saw why it's so important

1251
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 1: just last week when Facebook refused to take down a

1252
01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 1: fake video of Nancy Pelosi. It wasn't even a close call.

1253
01:14:57,439 --> 01:15:01,639
Speaker 1: The video is sexist trash, and YouTube took it down,

1254
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 1: but Facebook kept it up sexist trash, so it should

1255
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:11,800
Speaker 1: be taken down. Who's going to make those determinations about

1256
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 1: what constitutes sexist trash. Who's going to make the determination

1257
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:19,720
Speaker 1: about what is just mean spirited and shouldn't be out

1258
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:24,559
Speaker 1: there in the marketplace of ideas. The left likes to

1259
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:29,759
Speaker 1: censor because the left must control. They do not trust

1260
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 1: individual agency and human freedom. They do not trust it.

1261
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 1: They think there must be a governing body that determines

1262
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 1: everything about what you can do, about what freedoms you have,

1263
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:42,599
Speaker 1: what you can think, what you can say. They want

1264
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:45,439
Speaker 1: control of all of it. They want maximum control, whatever

1265
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 1: that means. I prefer to live in a world and

1266
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:52,799
Speaker 1: in a country where people get to make decisions about

1267
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:57,519
Speaker 1: themselves to the maximum extent possible. I take the opposite

1268
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 1: point of view, but slant Facebook because they won't remove

1269
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:05,719
Speaker 1: an embarrassing video of Nancy Pelosi. What guideline did it violate?

1270
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:09,040
Speaker 1: She says, it's obviously fake because they slowed it down

1271
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's it's obviously fake. It's not fake.

1272
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 1: It's a real video of Nancy Pelosi. And even if

1273
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 1: it were fake, you know, if they were to photoshop

1274
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 1: and image of you know, a chicken over Nancy Pelosi's face,

1275
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 1: is that something that needs to be taken down? The

1276
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:33,400
Speaker 1: left says yes, you know why, because they can't stand mockery.

1277
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:37,679
Speaker 1: They can't stand it. He really gets to them because

1278
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:40,679
Speaker 1: they're so used to having cultural dominance. At anytime, a Democrat,

1279
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:44,280
Speaker 1: a Leftist really feels like they're the butt of a joke.

1280
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:46,720
Speaker 1: We realize they have no sense of humor either. They

1281
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 1: think they're the funny ones, but they actually don't have

1282
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 1: any sense of humor about themselves. Well, I think if

1283
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:54,720
Speaker 1: it becomes law, it'll be very difficult producer, or rather

1284
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:57,280
Speaker 1: doubt we will. Many people who work for us will

1285
01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:00,960
Speaker 1: not want to work there, and we'll have to heed

1286
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:04,240
Speaker 1: their wishes in that regard. Right now, we're watching it

1287
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 1: very carefully. I think it's also likely to be challenged

1288
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 1: in the courts and that could delay it, and we're

1289
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: being careful and cautious about it. But if it becomes law,

1290
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:17,759
Speaker 1: I don't see how it's practical for us to continue

1291
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 1: to shoot there. Disney CEO Bob iger on An on

1292
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 1: the abortion bill there in Georgia. This is just something

1293
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:30,639
Speaker 1: that we've become accustomed to as conservatives that I don't

1294
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:33,280
Speaker 1: think we should have to be accustomed to anymore. I

1295
01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 1: am sick of all of us just assuming, oh, corporate

1296
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:41,880
Speaker 1: America is going to lash out at the right and

1297
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:45,600
Speaker 1: never lash out at the left. I mean, Disney is

1298
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 1: supposed to be a great American company. It's a huge company,

1299
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:52,800
Speaker 1: controls a tremendous amount of contents, bought up all kinds

1300
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,880
Speaker 1: of stuff recently, I know. But if it's a great

1301
01:17:55,920 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 1: American company, shouldn't it represent the American people and their wishes,

1302
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 1: or at least shouldn't it be respectful of the American

1303
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 1: people in their wishes? Not half of the American people.

1304
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 1: And when you're talking about some of these abortion extremists,

1305
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 1: it's much much much less than half. You know, the

1306
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 1: the true left, I mean, the the planned parenthood version

1307
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:20,479
Speaker 1: of what the law should be when it comes to

1308
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 1: abortion is supported really by only about fifteen to twenty

1309
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 1: percent of the country. It's the hard left view of things.

1310
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 1: It is the ideologically rigid progressive approach, and and it's

1311
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:39,600
Speaker 1: very doctrinaire. It's very based in a leftist orthodoxy. But

1312
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 1: why is it just the assumption that Bob Eiger is

1313
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 1: going to threaten the state of Georgia for doing what

1314
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 1: it's completely within its rights to do, passing a state law,

1315
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:51,800
Speaker 1: and say that they're going to take business away. So

1316
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: they're going to punish people that are going to work

1317
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:59,160
Speaker 1: on different sets and you know, as cameramen and craftsmen

1318
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 1: and key grip and all these things that you do

1319
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:03,920
Speaker 1: at these at these film places. I can't even think

1320
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:07,120
Speaker 1: of all the jobs you're going to punish them because

1321
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:10,760
Speaker 1: you have a bunch of progressive ideologues, not just in

1322
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 1: your audience, but clearly in the company. You know. That's

1323
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 1: where this that's where the rubber really meets the road

1324
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 1: on all of this, is that the c suite at

1325
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:24,720
Speaker 1: so many major corporations is full of people who are

1326
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 1: left wing ideologues and they don't have any problem inflicting

1327
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 1: their beliefs on other people and punishing people who don't

1328
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:38,240
Speaker 1: agree with them. And I mean I remember, for example,

1329
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:42,640
Speaker 1: being told, look, I'll even tell you where it was.

1330
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 1: It was at CNN. I remember being told by a

1331
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 1: CNN executive who was involved in the hiring of people

1332
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:52,439
Speaker 1: at CNN that he would would not only oppose, but

1333
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 1: do everything in his power to sync the chances of

1334
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:56,559
Speaker 1: anyone who was going to work at CNN on air

1335
01:19:56,960 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 1: who was not in favor of gay rite. Now, whatever

1336
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:03,840
Speaker 1: you think about gay marriage and all the rest of it,

1337
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:06,439
Speaker 1: just think about that for a moment, though you And

1338
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:09,640
Speaker 1: that was years ago. That was before um what was

1339
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:13,800
Speaker 1: it before? And it was right after oberg fell the

1340
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:17,960
Speaker 1: decision screen court decision. But he's like, if you you cannot,

1341
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:19,640
Speaker 1: this guy was like, you will not be able to

1342
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:22,120
Speaker 1: work there. He will do everything he can to stop you.

1343
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: They went after Brendon Ike from Mozilla for his previous

1344
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 1: support Years ago, Brandon Ike of Mozilla, the CEO and

1345
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 1: founder of Mozilla, was chased out of his corporate position

1346
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:38,640
Speaker 1: by other people at his company and by the media

1347
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:43,080
Speaker 1: because he was supporting in California traditional marriage the same

1348
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 1: at the exact same time that Barack Obama was running

1349
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 1: as a traditional marriage candidate. But the left always makes

1350
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 1: exceptions for people on their side who are doing the

1351
01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 1: head fake, or who are a trojan horse, or who

1352
01:20:55,479 --> 01:20:57,639
Speaker 1: who abandoned the position. As soon as they're in power,

1353
01:20:57,640 --> 01:20:59,800
Speaker 1: they're okay with that. In fact, they like that, They

1354
01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 1: courage that, that kind of dissembling, that kind of intellectual dishonesty.

1355
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:10,680
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna say this until I get into power,

1356
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna do something else. But we have to, we

1357
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:16,160
Speaker 1: have to fight back against this. This should not be

1358
01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:19,759
Speaker 1: something what Bob Eiger is saying here is that Disney

1359
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 1: takes a political position as a company against conservatives, and

1360
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:27,439
Speaker 1: this should not be okay. This should not be something

1361
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:32,720
Speaker 1: that goes without pushback and without organized dare I say, resistance.

1362
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 1: This is also just culturally on the left. They they're

1363
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:41,360
Speaker 1: very comfortable doing this. They're very comfortable making examples of

1364
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:43,680
Speaker 1: people for political reasons that have nothing to do with

1365
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 1: the company's business, that have nothing to do with you know,

1366
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 1: whether or not someone is going to be a good

1367
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 1: customer of theirs, just like the left will boycott. It

1368
01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:57,280
Speaker 1: is known. It is known throughout the media industry that

1369
01:21:58,040 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 1: leftists can say all kinds of crazy stuff and they'll

1370
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:08,560
Speaker 1: still get blue chip, very uh you know, very wealthy sponsors.

1371
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:14,320
Speaker 1: They'll they'll get the Coke, Mercedes, McDonald's, etc. But on

1372
01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 1: the right, oh, you're all you're always put on notice.

1373
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:19,120
Speaker 1: You know, if you if you step out of line,

1374
01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 1: if you say something that's a little too conservative, if

1375
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 1: you you know, if you if you don't dance to

1376
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 1: the tune that the leftists tell you too, you may

1377
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 1: find yourself getting all your sponsors pulled. In fact, you

1378
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:34,600
Speaker 1: might find yourself getting your bank account uh pulled. You know,

1379
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:36,280
Speaker 1: they may say, sorry, you know, we're gonna give you

1380
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:38,519
Speaker 1: your money back or whatever, but you can't do use

1381
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:43,040
Speaker 1: our banking services. They obviously will go after people for

1382
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:46,559
Speaker 1: the platform, for the platforms they use as well. They

1383
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: want they want they want speech police for the left,

1384
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,760
Speaker 1: or the left wants to be the speech police on Facebook,

1385
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,920
Speaker 1: on YouTube, on Twitter. They know how powerful these things are.

1386
01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 1: For those of you that say, oh buck those platforms,

1387
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:02,880
Speaker 1: isn't it over blown? No, the future generations, the cable

1388
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:06,800
Speaker 1: news environment is going to go away as we know it.

1389
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 1: They'll still be shows and I mean maybe the networks

1390
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:11,759
Speaker 1: will still exist, but you're gonna be watching it digitally.

1391
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna be watching an ala carte, and increasingly the

1392
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:19,280
Speaker 1: major social platforms are going to be determining. They already

1393
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:22,160
Speaker 1: are largely determining the news cycle, but they're going to

1394
01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 1: be almost entirely deciding what people see as tremendous power

1395
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:29,040
Speaker 1: in it. And the left wants to use that power

1396
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 1: to censor. They want to use that power to push

1397
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:34,760
Speaker 1: ideas that they not only think are correct, but those

1398
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 1: who don't hold those ideas aren't worth listening to. They

1399
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 1: are to be silenced, they are to be silenced. And

1400
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 1: it's it's a constant frustration for me that we just,

1401
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:52,120
Speaker 1: you know, in half the country roughly speaking as Republican

1402
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 1: or conservative, and we don't We don't try to even

1403
01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 1: the score. We don't try to hold them to account.

1404
01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 1: We let them get away with this crowd, with this

1405
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:06,920
Speaker 1: nonsense of politicizing corporate America, politicizing sports. It's always a

1406
01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 1: one way street. We just take it, We take the abuse.

1407
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what it will require for us to

1408
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:15,880
Speaker 1: decide that enough is enough. You know, maybe we do

1409
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:18,280
Speaker 1: have to fight fire with fire. Maybe some really painful

1410
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 1: boycotts of some companies is the only way to get

1411
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:23,760
Speaker 1: them to stop this stuff. I mean, you want to

1412
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:26,280
Speaker 1: know how biased they are about things like abortion. I mean,

1413
01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:31,679
Speaker 1: the media is the praetorian guard of abortion for nine

1414
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 1: months of a pregnancy and even after the pregnancy, on

1415
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:37,760
Speaker 1: demand for any reason or no reason. The media is

1416
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, boomers in the media, who unfortunately control the

1417
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 1: news media. The boomer generation of liberals in the media

1418
01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 1: are the abortion radicals more so than any other generation.

1419
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:56,040
Speaker 1: And these boomer abortion radicals do not want, especially in

1420
01:24:56,080 --> 01:25:00,720
Speaker 1: the waning years of their careers, to have a country that,

1421
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:03,879
Speaker 1: by its actions and by the laws that it passes

1422
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:08,720
Speaker 1: and by the polls that are taken, repudiates abortion as

1423
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,759
Speaker 1: a women's rights issue and treats it as a life issue.

1424
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:16,479
Speaker 1: And that's how you have someone like, for example, Alison Cama,

1425
01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:22,400
Speaker 1: Allison Camarada over at CNN, who makes a look just

1426
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:24,519
Speaker 1: a little slip here, a little slip, but it tells

1427
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:28,640
Speaker 1: you a lot, doesn't it play eighteen issue. Lots of

1428
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 1: families do have to make that decision based on the

1429
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:34,639
Speaker 1: single characteristic of finding out that their children that their

1430
01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:39,759
Speaker 1: fetus has a severe abnormality. Oh oh gosh, I said, children,

1431
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm in fetus. Now she had it right the first time.

1432
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 1: Fetus is a child. That's what it is. Fetus is

1433
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:51,679
Speaker 1: a child. But they know they have to control the language.

1434
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:53,840
Speaker 1: They know they have to use words that obscure what's

1435
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 1: really happening. They cannot discuss openly, clearly, honestly what these

1436
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:05,440
Speaker 1: abortion procedures involve. And they know that they're they're paymasters,

1437
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the people that determine who in the mainstream

1438
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:09,720
Speaker 1: media is going to get these big fat paychecks and

1439
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:12,599
Speaker 1: be important and be famous. They're all pro they're all

1440
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,599
Speaker 1: pro choice. They're all pro choice, a whole lot of them.

1441
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 1: So that's why Camarada, how to catch yourself there right away.

1442
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,799
Speaker 1: But it's time. It's time we fight back, my friends.

1443
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:25,680
Speaker 1: We don't sit around and just let them abuse us

1444
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:28,040
Speaker 1: for our beliefs anymore, because that's what they're gonna keep

1445
01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:30,599
Speaker 1: doing unless we put a stop to it. I guess

1446
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:33,719
Speaker 1: because it's summertime and I'm gonna be spending more time outside.

1447
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 1: I've been a little more uh what's the word consistent

1448
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:40,559
Speaker 1: about trying to be active. You know, you do't wanna

1449
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:43,839
Speaker 1: be that guy who's running around like, yeah, if my bellet,

1450
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 1: it's huge game, my bellet at the beach, you're want

1451
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:49,559
Speaker 1: to be that or maybe you do want to be

1452
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:52,799
Speaker 1: that guy. You'd probably make friends with all sorts of folks,

1453
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:56,520
Speaker 1: you know, wants to rub the bellet for a good look. Glad,

1454
01:26:58,000 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 1: but trying to trying to get the belly shrinking a

1455
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:02,720
Speaker 1: little bit. And so I've been working out more and

1456
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:05,679
Speaker 1: doing more active things for the last well last couple

1457
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:08,320
Speaker 1: of months, except for when I was traveling and I

1458
01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 1: got to say one thing that that's really come to me.

1459
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 1: Maybe this is a function of getting old, but I

1460
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 1: feel like my I have to get myself used. Idea

1461
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:20,600
Speaker 1: of just playing hurt so to speak, right, you know,

1462
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 1: when you're when you're playing sports. I used to play

1463
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:25,519
Speaker 1: organized sports back in the day. That sounds like a

1464
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 1: nerdy way of saying it, but I played basketball and

1465
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:31,679
Speaker 1: soccer and tennis pretty much anything without a helmet because

1466
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:34,000
Speaker 1: my head. You laugh, but it's true. My head was

1467
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 1: too big for the helmets and they'd always try to

1468
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:38,880
Speaker 1: jam my head into a helmet that was too small,

1469
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 1: and it gave me. If you've ever had that happen

1470
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 1: to give you a terrible headache, that's kind of like

1471
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:44,760
Speaker 1: having a shoe on. That's way too tight, you your

1472
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:47,360
Speaker 1: foot will cramp. You know, same thing with a helmet

1473
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:49,720
Speaker 1: that's too tight, your head will just you'll get a

1474
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 1: really vicious headache from it. So I played non helmet sports,

1475
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:55,400
Speaker 1: which a lot of you are like laughing at me

1476
01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 1: right now, and you should. You should laugh at me.

1477
01:27:57,479 --> 01:28:00,080
Speaker 1: Buck's poofy hair prevented him from ever playing football or

1478
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:04,120
Speaker 1: lacrosse or ice hockey. But you know, you have to

1479
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 1: play hurt, right Like I I my senior year, broke

1480
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:10,920
Speaker 1: my fifth metatarsal bone in my foot, which is very common.

1481
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 1: It's a stress fracture. You don't have to do anything

1482
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:15,599
Speaker 1: to it, it'll just break. And I didn't know that,

1483
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:17,880
Speaker 1: and I played an entire season of soccer with a

1484
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:20,680
Speaker 1: broken bone in my foot, which later on when a

1485
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 1: doctor X rated, it was like that is insane. How'd

1486
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:25,240
Speaker 1: you do that? And I was like, well, by the way,

1487
01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 1: I do not recommend it, because then you have pain

1488
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:29,519
Speaker 1: in your foot and you know, I limp a little

1489
01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 1: bit and it's not good. You want to get your

1490
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:34,720
Speaker 1: fifth metatarsal fixed if you break it. But you get

1491
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 1: used to having to play hurt, just in life in

1492
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 1: general and trying to avoid injury. I find now that

1493
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 1: I have the discipline and the knowledge to do what

1494
01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:46,960
Speaker 1: I need to do physically to keep myself feeling healthy

1495
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:50,759
Speaker 1: and active. But now it sounds like I'm I'm almost

1496
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 1: doing an advertisement for a retirement home to keep myself

1497
01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:56,920
Speaker 1: feeling healthy and active. But playing hurt man, it's such

1498
01:28:56,920 --> 01:29:00,559
Speaker 1: a big part of it, you know, just avoid bad

1499
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:06,160
Speaker 1: injury too. I saw recently that are my old colleague

1500
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:09,000
Speaker 1: from The Blaze, Matt Walsh. He was tweeting out about

1501
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:12,080
Speaker 1: how he ruptured his achilles tendon. I don't know what

1502
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:13,559
Speaker 1: to do to of what I am. That is a

1503
01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 1: fear that I have. I've thought about getting back into

1504
01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 1: doing wind sprints because intermittent intermittent training and wind sprints

1505
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:24,920
Speaker 1: or interval training rather not intermittent training, it's intermittent fasting.

1506
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 1: But interval training with wind sprints I have found in

1507
01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:30,920
Speaker 1: the past is among the most especially when you add

1508
01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:33,400
Speaker 1: inclines into it. So you go at very high speed

1509
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:35,680
Speaker 1: at a steep incline, and then you'd go at a

1510
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:37,920
Speaker 1: more resting rate run and then you keep switching back

1511
01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:42,760
Speaker 1: and forth. One of the most effective things for I

1512
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:45,840
Speaker 1: found for weight loss and just overall health. But I

1513
01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:47,479
Speaker 1: feel like I'm old enough now, or if I just

1514
01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:49,320
Speaker 1: try to do some wind sprints, I might rupture my

1515
01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:52,240
Speaker 1: achilles tendon. You know, So I Mark, what's the worst

1516
01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:58,120
Speaker 1: injury you've ever had from sports? Birth? Birth? Yeah, when

1517
01:29:58,160 --> 01:30:02,120
Speaker 1: I was born. That's not that's not an injury from sports. Dude,

1518
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:03,840

Speaker 1: did you know, and don't give me one of the

1542
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:05,400

1553
01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:39,840
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. Hey, Team Buck, it's time for roll.

1554
01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:59,680
Speaker 1: Call Facebook dot com slash Buck Sex in. That is

1555
01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:04,320
Speaker 1: how we get the roll call action going. Very easy.

1556
01:32:04,400 --> 01:32:07,120
Speaker 1: Just go there, send a message. I love when people say,

1557
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:08,920
Speaker 1: is this where we send the role call message? And

1558
01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:12,400
Speaker 1: I'll read that on air of course, of course it

1559
01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:14,960
Speaker 1: is where we send the roll call message. Dale is

1560
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:17,840
Speaker 1: first up, Buck, What do you think the odds are

1561
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 1: that Muller's stunt yesterday was the result of negotiations between

1562
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:27,280
Speaker 1: himself and Nadler as a way to avoid testifying. He

1563
01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:30,240
Speaker 1: essentially gave Nadler and the leftist what they wanted while

1564
01:32:30,240 --> 01:32:34,800
Speaker 1: avoiding being grilled by the Republicans. You know, Dale, I

1565
01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 1: give you points for creative outside the box thinking. I

1566
01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:43,280
Speaker 1: would just say that there's the reason I think that

1567
01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:46,559
Speaker 1: did not happen is that it is too much risk

1568
01:32:46,640 --> 01:32:51,080
Speaker 1: for too little gain for Muller. There's no reason for

1569
01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:55,040
Speaker 1: him to put himself in a position where something like

1570
01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:58,280
Speaker 1: that could come out and be a big problem for him.

1571
01:32:58,280 --> 01:33:02,479
Speaker 1: But I can't to borrow from Muller. If I could

1572
01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:05,920
Speaker 1: conclusively prove that you were wrong, I would say so.

1573
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:10,320
Speaker 1: I am merely saying I don't think that happened, But

1574
01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. I'm not saying it. I'm not

1575
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:14,680
Speaker 1: saying it did not saying it didn't. You know, I

1576
01:33:14,760 --> 01:33:17,640
Speaker 1: do want to don't. So that's what I got for

1577
01:33:17,680 --> 01:33:22,439
Speaker 1: you on that, my friend, TJ. Right Buck, I'm kind

1578
01:33:22,439 --> 01:33:25,599
Speaker 1: of glad to hear you're leaving Rising, especially on days

1579
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:28,519
Speaker 1: like today when Jamal fills in for Crystal. While the

1580
01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:30,479
Speaker 1: two of them may be of the same political bent,

1581
01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:33,840
Speaker 1: at least Crystal is mostly respectful of guests, especially pro

1582
01:33:33,960 --> 01:33:38,320
Speaker 1: life guests. Unlike the way Jamal treated Jeanie this morning despicable.

1583
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:40,960
Speaker 1: At least let her talk. I've never heard more interruptions.

1584
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:45,959
Speaker 1: He's got a lot to learn about hosting. T J. Yeah,

1585
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:51,280
Speaker 1: I look, I called Jeanie afterwards to apologize for the

1586
01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:53,160
Speaker 1: way she was treated on and I did try and

1587
01:33:54,400 --> 01:33:57,479
Speaker 1: you know, bring the temperature down at that table a

1588
01:33:57,520 --> 01:34:01,120
Speaker 1: little bit. Although it's a very hard thing to get

1589
01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:04,519
Speaker 1: a co host to not be so riled up, I've

1590
01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:06,840
Speaker 1: something that I've learned. It's just because then all of

1591
01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:08,880
Speaker 1: a sudden, you become the problem too, and you can

1592
01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:12,040
Speaker 1: make it much much worse. So unless you're just gonna

1593
01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:15,519
Speaker 1: bail on the segment, Yeah, TJ, I'm not going to

1594
01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:18,759
Speaker 1: disagree with you, but it was I have very rarely

1595
01:34:18,760 --> 01:34:21,000
Speaker 1: had to call someone to apologize for the way they

1596
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:27,200
Speaker 1: were treated in my presence and the head of the

1597
01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:30,519
Speaker 1: March for Life. She was not given the respect that

1598
01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:33,599
Speaker 1: she was due as a guest, and I tried, and

1599
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:38,920
Speaker 1: unfortunately it wasn't enough to make that happen. So yeah,

1600
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:42,479
Speaker 1: I'm it's time to go for me, TJ from the Hill.

1601
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:46,800
Speaker 1: So that's where it is. I am moving on and focusing,

1602
01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:50,960
Speaker 1: quite honestly, just focusing on this radio show. I have

1603
01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:53,600
Speaker 1: some other projects that are around the radio show that

1604
01:34:53,640 --> 01:34:56,200
Speaker 1: I'll be able to announce very soon, really exciting, very

1605
01:34:56,200 --> 01:35:00,200
Speaker 1: cool stuff. We're going to be jumping Team BA. We're

1606
01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:04,920
Speaker 1: gonna be jumping into the digital world. So that's that's

1607
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:06,760
Speaker 1: the biggest preview I can give you right now. But

1608
01:35:06,800 --> 01:35:08,639
Speaker 1: we're going to jump in it. That doesn't change anything

1609
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:14,439
Speaker 1: on radio. I'm just saying, think video, think podcasting, think

1610
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:19,080
Speaker 1: things like that, all right, Benjamin, Right Buck. I enjoy

1611
01:35:19,200 --> 01:35:23,679
Speaker 1: your television and movie reviews. It saves me from wasting

1612
01:35:23,720 --> 01:35:26,000
Speaker 1: time and being disappointed when a show ends up being

1613
01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:30,160
Speaker 1: liberal trash propaganda. My wife and I both appreciate it.

1614
01:35:30,240 --> 01:35:33,120
Speaker 1: Shields high well, Benjamin' I'm so happy to provide that

1615
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:37,240
Speaker 1: additional service, my friend. Thank you. Sometimes people say to me,

1616
01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:40,120
Speaker 1: you're not a movie critic, Well are you criticizing movies

1617
01:35:40,160 --> 01:35:42,439
Speaker 1: on you? Well, you know, I just talk about things.

1618
01:35:42,560 --> 01:35:49,840
Speaker 1: I try to share worthwhile, interesting, entertaining information. I mean,

1619
01:35:49,880 --> 01:35:53,439
Speaker 1: that's that is what I try to manage. That is

1620
01:35:53,479 --> 01:35:55,160
Speaker 1: what I try to do here on the show. So

1621
01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:59,040
Speaker 1: that's my mandate, that is my mission. And if that

1622
01:35:59,120 --> 01:36:01,559
Speaker 1: means that I can also Oh man, I was trying

1623
01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:08,400
Speaker 1: to watch it wasn't deep Water Rising yesterday, which is

1624
01:36:08,439 --> 01:36:10,040
Speaker 1: a Let me see if I can pull this up

1625
01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:13,320
Speaker 1: real quick. Um, I think it's called is it deep

1626
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:18,720
Speaker 1: Water Rising or what is it? Uh? No, deep Water Horizon? Oh,

1627
01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:23,320
Speaker 1: I can't remember what this is? What this is called? Um?

1628
01:36:24,560 --> 01:36:28,120
Speaker 1: It had man, It's it's about a it's a movie.

1629
01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm actually finding this in real time movie. But a

1630
01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:34,679
Speaker 1: giant squid from the ninth attacking a cruise ship. Yep,

1631
01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:38,320
Speaker 1: here we go. It's called deep Rising. There we go

1632
01:36:38,520 --> 01:36:40,759
Speaker 1: deep It's funny. We're just talking about my show rising

1633
01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:46,240
Speaker 1: deep Rising? Wait? Is that it? Um? I think this

1634
01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:52,800
Speaker 1: is right? It is? It is? It is terrible. It

1635
01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:57,559
Speaker 1: is terrible. Um, it's a really really bad movie. So

1636
01:36:57,680 --> 01:37:01,360
Speaker 1: I would not go about watching that any anytime soon.

1637
01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:05,439
Speaker 1: I would I think that you'll be very very happy

1638
01:37:05,439 --> 01:37:07,600
Speaker 1: if you skip that one. But I did think it

1639
01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 1: was kind of funny that, you know, when when I

1640
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:13,360
Speaker 1: was watching it, you see people who back in the day,

1641
01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:18,320
Speaker 1: they whenever they're firing an automatic weapon, they would shoot

1642
01:37:18,360 --> 01:37:20,920
Speaker 1: from the waist and kind of move the weapon back

1643
01:37:20,920 --> 01:37:23,000
Speaker 1: and forth, like side to side, as though that was

1644
01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:25,240
Speaker 1: going to make the bullets go faster. There's a lot

1645
01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:30,679
Speaker 1: of that in in Deep Rising. Um. Yeah, such such

1646
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:33,759
Speaker 1: a yep famkagens And this is the movie such nineteen

1647
01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:37,800
Speaker 1: ninety eight, Such a bad movie, not not worth anyone's time.

1648
01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:41,320
Speaker 1: I was amazed at how cheesy and garbage it was.

1649
01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:46,960
Speaker 1: All right. Next up is Jeremy Buck with companies like

1650
01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:50,200
Speaker 1: Uber and Open Table rating their customers. Is this not

1651
01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:52,880
Speaker 1: a precursor to China's social rating system we've been hearing

1652
01:37:52,880 --> 01:37:56,920
Speaker 1: about shields high Jeremy, Well, Jeremy, I don't think it's

1653
01:37:56,920 --> 01:38:00,519
Speaker 1: a precursor to that. I think that you know, you

1654
01:38:00,560 --> 01:38:02,479
Speaker 1: look at how much of your life is already determined

1655
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:05,519
Speaker 1: by your record and by you know, your driving record

1656
01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:10,080
Speaker 1: influences how much you pay for insurance, your academic record

1657
01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:12,200
Speaker 1: where you go to school, what jobs you get, your

1658
01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:17,160
Speaker 1: employment record, your criminal record. These are all This is

1659
01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:22,200
Speaker 1: all data about humans. That about humans, that affects what

1660
01:38:22,240 --> 01:38:24,559
Speaker 1: we can do and what our options and opportunities are.

1661
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:30,720
Speaker 1: So that's already happening. What China has is are you

1662
01:38:30,760 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 1: supportive of the state and doing what the state wants?

1663
01:38:33,600 --> 01:38:36,639
Speaker 1: And that's different than Uber in my mind at least,

1664
01:38:36,680 --> 01:38:38,680
Speaker 1: that's different than Uber saying this person is polite and

1665
01:38:38,760 --> 01:38:40,880
Speaker 1: friendly and shows up when they say they're going to

1666
01:38:40,920 --> 01:38:47,760
Speaker 1: show up for pickup stuff like that. Laurel all rights, Hey, Buck,

1667
01:38:47,760 --> 01:38:49,600
Speaker 1: I thought you were reading an ad for podcasts or

1668
01:38:49,640 --> 01:38:53,960
Speaker 1: joking when you started about encouraging social credit through Uber Dude. Seriously,

1669
01:38:54,400 --> 01:38:57,679
Speaker 1: that is ripe for abuse, if I'm not mistaken. Wow,

1670
01:38:57,720 --> 01:38:59,800
Speaker 1: another person who compares this to China, you are against this.

1671
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:02,920
Speaker 1: China started this nonsense. The problem we have in society

1672
01:39:02,960 --> 01:39:05,360
Speaker 1: isn't that people are rude, is that we force everyone

1673
01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:08,280
Speaker 1: to be positive, resulting an outburst when our internal emotional

1674
01:39:08,320 --> 01:39:11,240
Speaker 1: state gets out of hand. No one wants to be angry, mean,

1675
01:39:11,400 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 1: or rude. Empathy and compassion or how you change the society,

1676
01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:16,880
Speaker 1: not more punishment for things that we perceive as wrong.

1677
01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:20,960
Speaker 1: Watch the Black Mirror episode episode nosedive, and remember we're

1678
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:25,360
Speaker 1: all human. I don't know, Laurel, I'm gonna agree to

1679
01:39:25,400 --> 01:39:28,519
Speaker 1: disagree with you on this one. I think that people

1680
01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:30,800
Speaker 1: engage in a business trends. I mean, should we not

1681
01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:34,080
Speaker 1: have Yelp reviews for businesses? Is that, big brother? Or

1682
01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 1: is that? I like to know if a place where

1683
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to conduct business has a reputation of being dishonest,

1684
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:46,840
Speaker 1: doing bad work, overcharging people. So if that's true for businesses,

1685
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:49,200
Speaker 1: why can't it be true for your interactions with a business.

1686
01:39:49,920 --> 01:39:52,759
Speaker 1: I don't understand, in fact, what is a credit score

1687
01:39:53,200 --> 01:39:59,160
Speaker 1: other than a compilation of your trustworthiness in paying your

1688
01:39:59,240 --> 01:40:01,559
Speaker 1: debts and looking at the level of debt you maintain.

1689
01:40:02,840 --> 01:40:05,680
Speaker 1: So this is already out there, I don't so I

1690
01:40:05,720 --> 01:40:09,360
Speaker 1: don't agree that this is the Chinese social credit system,

1691
01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:13,120
Speaker 1: which is far more invasive and intrusive and has to

1692
01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:16,599
Speaker 1: do with state mandated policy and the support of state

1693
01:40:16,640 --> 01:40:19,600
Speaker 1: mandated policy. So and then also it helps you for

1694
01:40:19,680 --> 01:40:21,640
Speaker 1: dating apps and stuff. I should probably read. There's a

1695
01:40:21,640 --> 01:40:23,479
Speaker 1: couple of good books out right now about the Chinese

1696
01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:27,960
Speaker 1: social credit system, and maybe I'll dig into those. Wow,

1697
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:30,479
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of people, A lot of people

1698
01:40:30,520 --> 01:40:34,280
Speaker 1: got really thought the Uber conversation yesterday, the whole inbox

1699
01:40:34,360 --> 01:40:36,960
Speaker 1: is full of this stuff. Book. You talked about ranking

1700
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:40,160
Speaker 1: people on niceness or nastiness. Does this sound a lot

1701
01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:43,920
Speaker 1: like the Chinese social ranking system? No, guys, it's not

1702
01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:47,360
Speaker 1: ranking you as a person in general for your niceness

1703
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:51,960
Speaker 1: or nastiness. It's a it's not a totalitarian surveillance state

1704
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:56,479
Speaker 1: that's assessing. It's when you ask for an Uber ride pickup?

1705
01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:59,439
Speaker 1: Are are you at the place you're supposed to be?

1706
01:40:59,840 --> 01:41:03,280
Speaker 1: And are you a reasonable person in that in that interaction?

1707
01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:06,760
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Oh man, Well, it's a good

1708
01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:08,439
Speaker 1: idea and thought. I think that if libs are a

1709
01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:10,559
Speaker 1: high percentage of restaurants to have, how would that work?

1710
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:13,240
Speaker 1: If you're a conservative, you get a bad ranking from them.

1711
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:15,120
Speaker 1: But I mean this is true of anything. I mean,

1712
01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:18,000
Speaker 1: any ranking system. You can get someone who wants to,

1713
01:41:18,600 --> 01:41:20,599
Speaker 1: you know, mess with you or mess up what's going on.

1714
01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:24,160
Speaker 1: So I disagree, folks, I know a lot of you

1715
01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:28,400
Speaker 1: are are you going right to the China thing here? China?

1716
01:41:29,720 --> 01:41:34,639
Speaker 1: Michelle right? Buck M good to hear your show. Thank you, Michelle,

1717
01:41:34,720 --> 01:41:39,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate that very much. Next up here we have

1718
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:44,839
Speaker 1: Valerie who writes movie talkers. They covered your social behavior

1719
01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:48,439
Speaker 1: idea in the Fox series The Orville. By the way,

1720
01:41:48,920 --> 01:41:51,719
Speaker 1: you have an enjoyable program. Well, thank you so much, Valerie.

1721
01:41:51,760 --> 01:41:54,680
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. We hope the program is very much enjoyable.

1722
01:41:55,880 --> 01:41:58,400
Speaker 1: That I'd already say, Valerie, I think maybe that was

1723
01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:02,560
Speaker 1: the one that Alan Rights hey Buck enjoyed seeing you

1724
01:42:02,600 --> 01:42:04,320
Speaker 1: on the Hill. But it's for the best that you

1725
01:42:04,360 --> 01:42:07,080
Speaker 1: can pursue your convictions without compromise. You'll be leaving the

1726
01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:09,479
Speaker 1: swamp and going back to NYC or maybe even coming

1727
01:42:09,479 --> 01:42:14,920
Speaker 1: out to La Alan TBD, my friend TBD. But I

1728
01:42:14,920 --> 01:42:19,479
Speaker 1: am leaving the Hill Fae show. So that is now

1729
01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:22,600
Speaker 1: out there and people know it. All that hasn't up

1730
01:42:22,600 --> 01:42:24,640
Speaker 1: been aficial. It'll be officially announced on Monday. Those you

1731
01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:26,160
Speaker 1: listen to the radio show, you get a little sneak

1732
01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:29,720
Speaker 1: prev because you're like my family. Debra Rights, I love it.

1733
01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:32,000
Speaker 1: Dems are focused on getting Trump. They cannot even run

1734
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:37,120
Speaker 1: a good campaign based on that. Yes, Debra, they're not

1735
01:42:37,120 --> 01:42:40,880
Speaker 1: really running a campaign at all. They're just running a

1736
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:46,200
Speaker 1: kind of emotional smear effort. I mean, they're just they're

1737
01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:51,320
Speaker 1: they've completely lost themselves in Trump hatred that knows no

1738
01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:56,599
Speaker 1: limitations or rationality, and they think you and I are

1739
01:42:56,640 --> 01:42:59,720
Speaker 1: the crazy ones. That's what's so interesting about at least

1740
01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:02,479
Speaker 1: to me. So what do we have tomorrow Friday? Oh

1741
