WEBVTT - POTUS Rips Mr. Never Trumper 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:16.640 You are entering the freedom hunt. Why didn't Muller make 0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:19.479 the call? Why did he defer? And is trying to 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.640 now hand it off to Congress for impeachment while the 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:25.960 Attorney General Barr has an answer for us that I 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.280 think sheds a lot of light on what's really at 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:31.280 work here. Plus should Facebook have to take down a 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:35.480 video that's mean about Nancy Pelosi? Journalists and of course 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:37.640 democrats thing? So we got that and more coming up 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:41.720 on The Buck Sexton Show. Buck SEXTONSI decoding the news 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:48.760 and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Mag no mistake, American, 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.960 You're a great American. Again. This is the Buck Sexton 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:58.400 shows Analysts, I can speak for three hours without a 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:00.880 phone call. Try doing that some time. It is book Sexton. 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:07.720 No council yesterday makes that statement. He analyzed eleven instances 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.160 where there were possible obstruction and then said that he 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.400 really could make a decision. Do you agree with that interpretation? 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.240 I personally felt he could have reached the decision. In 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.280 your view, he could have reached a conclusion. Right, he 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.200 could have reached a conclusion. The opinion says you can 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:26.560 at indict a president while he's in office, but he 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.679 could have reached a decision as to whether it was 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.560 criminal activity. But he had his reasons for not doing it, 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.680 which he explained, and I'm not going to argue about 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.959 those reasons. But when he didn't make a decision, the 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.080 Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein and I felt it was 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.840 necessary for us as the heads of the department, to 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.720 reach that decision. Well, I mean, he seemed to suggest 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.120 yesterday that there was another venue for this, and that 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.480 was Congress. Well, I'm not sure what he was suggesting, 0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:00.280 but the Department of Justice doesn't use our power of 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:05.320 an investigating crime as an adjunct to Congress. Welcome to 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:09.440 the buck Sexton Show. Most important takeaway from today about 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:14.200 this whole post Muller press conference mess is what was 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.080 just said there by Bar which you've heard me say 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:23.520 many times before. I'm surprised there that he very well, 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:30.079 he being Muller, could have and should have said whether 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:34.000 there was a crime committed. There's a difference between we 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.160 believe a crime was committed here and therefore are bringing 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:43.639 charges and what you know what Muller did, which was 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.840 to just pretend like he couldn't even say that we 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.480 think the law was broken. Why is it better for him? 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:54.320 How is it more fair to the president to make 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.440 this say, well, somebody else can decide whether the law 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.000 was broken. Well, let's give it to Congress to decide 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.120 with the law is broken. That's not That's not what 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.880 Mueller was set up to do. That wasn't the mandate. 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.760 It wasn't run Democrat oppo research to the tune of 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:15.400 tens of millions of dollars for two years and then 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.359 we'll decide what we're going to do with it in 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.359 time for the election. That's that was never the mandate. 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.799 But Muller treats that like it is the mandate. Why Well, 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:30.480 because he is part of the get Trump chorus. He 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.000 is somebody that is opposed to this president and wants 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.080 to finish off his presidency. He probably thinks he's righteous 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.360 in doing so. He thinks that this is helpful to 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:42.920 the country. He's doing a great public service by wounding 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.840 President Trump's chances of reelection, and he thinks this is 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.960 the right thing to do. Meanwhile, you and I sit 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.000 here and say the president was put through this hell 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:56.480 based on a lie, based on a conspiracy theory fabricated 0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:02.560 by angry Democrats sore losers who can handle the fact 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:06.280 that there was a repudiation of their politics and a 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.960 repudiation of their sense of their own importance in the 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.000 twenty sixteen election, and that Queen Hillary was not going 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.640 to reign overall, they couldn't process it and handle like 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.360 normal people. So what they do They had to come 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.760 up with this an alternate reality and then try to 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:22.760 voice that alternate reality and the rest of us. The 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:26.239 President colluded with Russia. He did all this terrible stuff 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.960 through such a bad bad man, and Mueller will let 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:33.560 this thing go on and on and on, and his team, 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.479 of his team of anti Trump Democrats came up with 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:41.680 a perfect way to give maximum political benefit, which is 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:45.720 what this was always about, maximum political benefit to the Democrats. 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.960 Make it so that the only way there can be 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.599 a real final answer, a final decision on this is 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:56.320 through the Congress, which the Democrats just happened to have 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.320 a majority of votes in. Let me tell you this, 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.800 I do not believe that mul Or would have deferred 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.440 in this way of Republicans had a majority, because then 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:07.960 he knows they would have never been an impeachment lingering 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.440 in the background. With all of this and the reasoning 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:15.560 for Mueller not saying there was a criminal charge is 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:17.640 he laid out or what was it ten or eleven? 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.039 I think it was ten, but some people have been 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:23.359 saying eleven recently, ten different instances where there could have 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.760 been obstruction. We were past the Russia collusion fairy tale, 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.160 or at least in terms of charges against the president, 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.400 but these ten possible obstruction if he hones in on one, 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.320 and then we really look at that, and then there's 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.920 the competing legal analyzes of whether or not that's truly obstruction, 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:44.320 and the preponderance of the evidence or of the majority 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:48.960 of people hearing it at least don't believe that it 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.320 was obstruction, and then then that's case closed and it's 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.479 all over with. Much better to let this thing just linger, 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.200 just like the Muller investigation itself was meant to linger. 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.840 Go on. The processes, the punishment. Now the process it's 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.279 gone from the Mueller probe itself to the process of 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:12.560 the congressional should we or shouldn't we impeach him? This 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:17.320 is all it is. It's it's narrative building, it's dirty politics. 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:22.440 It's meant to harm this president and undermine the chances 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.800 of his reelection. That's all this has been about from 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:26.640 day one. There is no good faith, there is no 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.880 honesty or integrity in this from the Democrats. It's the 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.560 whole thing is an utter disgrace. But we have to 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:39.000 keep fighting because if we don't, they will. But I 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.560 do want an answer. I want Muller on the stand. 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.880 I want Democrats to have to defend Muller when he 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.960 won't answer the question about why didn't you just say 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.839 whether a crime was committed? Because if the answer is 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.159 that even Mueller doesn't really know if a crime was committed, 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:59.160 then then there wasn't a crime. If a seasoned prosecutor 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.760 who is in charge of the most politically explosive investigation 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:08.680 certainly since the Clinton era and probably since Watergate, if 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.040 that guy isn't sure there's a crime, then you're darned 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:15.240 sure that nobody else out there could reasonably say that, yeah, 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.040 there was a crime. But so he didn't say that 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.920 left it open, Better leave it vague. We'll get more 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:24.920 political mileage out of it, more damaging to Trump. Gives 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:26.720 all these people in the Democrats side and on the 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.320 left all this leeway, all this room to run. Well, 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.880 you know the president. We think he probably obstructed, but 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:34.560 we got to talk more about this. Let's talk more 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:39.400 about obstruction. It's just a giant propaganda fight. They know that, 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.400 and that's what we're going to be waiting into. Anyway, 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:47.080 Muller should have said crime or no, crime doesn't mean 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.840 that there had to be charges. He should have said it. 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:55.720 He didn't because he is a dishonest anti Trump hack. 0:07:56.440 --> 0:08:00.200 And I will say it because it is true. Anny 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:01.840 McCarthy's gonna join me to talk about this in a 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.680 little bit. Plus, we've got a whole lot more stuff 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.200 coming your way. Stay with me, now, Russian did not 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.760 help me get elected. You know who got me elected. 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.679 You know who got me elected. I got me elected. 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.160 Russia didn't help me at all. Russia, if anything, I 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.960 think help the other side. What you want to ask 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:22.480 is this, do you think the media helped Hillary Clinton 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.200 get elected? She didn't make it. But you take a 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.480 look at collusion between Hillary Clinton and the media, you 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:32.280 take a look at collusion between Hillary Clinton and Russia. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.920 She had more to do in the campaign with Russia 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.680 than I did. I had nothing to do. That's true. 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.240 Nobody ever seems to focus in on this This is 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.520 one area where I keep asking the various libs that 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.920 I have to debate on all the Russia collusion hoax nonsense, 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.200 keep saying, you know, if foreign interference in the election 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:57.800 is some terrible, unpardonable sin, then what do we make 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:01.959 of Christopher Steele, a foreigner get paid by the campaign 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.960 or by the DNC on behalf of Hillary's campaign to 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:13.400 use foreign subsources Russians, to compile a dossier and then 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:18.079 run that dossier to the intelligence community and to the 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:22.200 American press. Let's understand that that a standard that was 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.720 set up by the media in all of this was 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:29.000 that just the the meeting at Trump Tower, the possible 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:35.440 acceptance of opposition research or opposition information OPO if it 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.839 comes from a foreigner, that's illegal. They were saying, it's 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:42.560 a it's a campaign finance violation. I mean, this is 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.920 just they're just making this stuff up as they go along. 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.320 Never mind the fact that if as I as I've 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.760 told you before, Let's say that in that meeting with 0:09:53.840 --> 0:10:00.800 Vezo Niitskaya and Maniford Jared Kushner U. Let's say that 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:05.920 at that meeting, the vesilan Sky had provided information that 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:11.120 Hillary Clinton was laundering millions of dollars from her ridiculous access, 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.640 selling speeches through a Russian bank. Would would that have been? 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.840 Is that information that the Trump campaign should ignore? No, 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.199 of course not that that would be information that very 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.600 much should be a part of the discussion of who 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.320 should be the next leader of the free world. It 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:30.199 would be. It's incumbent on a campaign to look through 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.040 the information they have, to take information about the opponent 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.120 and try to capitalize on that. That's what the whole 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.480 game is. But they set up the standard we're just 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:43.439 taking information from a foreigner was automatically some not just 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:47.680 unethical behavior, but was criminal. That's what they're saying. It 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:51.400 was criminal. And yet we know it is a matter 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:56.800 of record. It is a matter of fact that they 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:01.280 did this on the Hillary Clinton side, that they took 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.800 information from foreigners, that they use that information to try 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:06.640 to take down the Trump campaign and even passed it 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.520 on to the FBI and made its way to the 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:12.800 intelligence community. Isn't that information? Isn't that a thing of 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.120 value under their own? But see, the standards that they 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:20.360 set up are all temporary. The narratives that they use 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.160 in order to attack the president. Are you can't take 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.080 them and and flip it around on the other side 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.760 no matter what the facts are, because it's not about 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.679 what's right and wrong, it's about what damages President Trump. 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.080 Let's keep this in mind. Is today there was a whole, oh, 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:41.480 a whole flurry of freak out over Trump deleting a tweet. 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.920 Here's here's what he tweeted out. Russia, Russia, Russia. That's 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.120 all you heard at the beginning of this witch hunt hoax. 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.720 And now Russia has disappeared because I had nothing to 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.840 do with Russia helping me to get elected. It was 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.400 a crime that didn't exist. So now the DEM's in 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.679 their partner, the fake news media, say he fought back 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:03.400 again this phony crime that didn't exist, this horrendous false accusation, 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.160 and he shouldn't fight back, he should just sit back 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:10.720 and take it. Could this be obstruction? No, Muller didn't 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:16.480 find obstruction either, presidential harassment. Now. I think that everything 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.360 that Trump is saying in this tweet, by the way, 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.800 is true. But what did they what did the press, 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.720 the anti trumpers, the left, what they what they hone 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:28.679 in on? Right away? Russia has disappeared because I had 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:30.959 nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected, 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.640 he wrote. They're saying, oh, well, see, now he's admitting 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.319 that Russia helped him to get elected. No, what he's 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:39.800 saying is that he had nothing to do with the 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.199 narrative that they have been pushing, which is that Russia 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.920 helped him to get elected. Now, did Russia try to 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.120 help him? I'm sure? I mean, do I think that 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:52.120 they use their social media accounts to advance Trump at 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:58.280 the expensive Hillaryah, But it didn't matter the moment you 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.160 put this into any kind of im text and add 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.640 just a tiny bit of perspective to it, it is 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:09.959 quite clear that there's no conceivable way that the minuscule 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:14.959 Russian Facebook advisor or releasing information about Bernie Standers and 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.640 Hillary Clinton. We already knew all this about Hillary more 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.480 or less. We already knew the fix was in against Bernie. 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.280 Didn't didn't tell us. This wasn't some earth shattering revelation. 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:26.800 This wasn't all of a sudden Oh my gosh, I 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.360 loved Hillary before, but now that I found out about Bernie. 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:34.559 Absolutely not, absolutely not. But they're saying, oh, he's admitting 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.959 that Russia helped him to get elected, and that's why 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.760 he deleted this. You know, the president's tweeting, I generally 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:42.839 find him using. He does open himself up though to 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.600 some some problems sometimes, but look, there's always a risk, 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:50.280 there was a risk in any communication of miscommunication or 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.400 of missing the mark with what the point is that 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.280 you're trying to make. And the President sometimes his tweets 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.960 are spot on and they're fantastic and I really can't 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.000 get enough of it. And yeah, times you see that 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.600 this is a president who can be a little bit, 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.199 a little bit of a loose cannon. Sometimes that's that's 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.120 a true thing. He can be a loose cannon. That 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:13.200 is a reality. But the Russia collusion thing, it's still here. 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:16.880 We are, after the Mueller probe finishes, after all the 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.360 stuff that we've been through, you still have Democrats who, 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.320 most of the Democratic Party, clings to this. They act 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:27.160 like it's true. They are impervious to facts. They do 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:30.480 not allow, they do not allow information that has contrad 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.680 this narrative to seep into their minds and change their 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:38.160 thinking on anything. It's just still far too comfortable and 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.840 far too comforting for Libs to believe that Donald Trump 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.320 cheated and that that's how he won, and that we're 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:48.960 not for Trump cheating. There would never have been a 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.600 Donald Trump presidency. And you'll you cannot convince them otherwise, 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:58.360 you cannot. We've got I know, I've been talking about 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.240 bar and his very important comm that basically Mueller is 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:05.360 full of it. Muller's full of it, and Mueller is 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.400 not has not been a good guy in this process, 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.720 has shown us who he really is. And we should 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.680 understand that all this stuff about how Mueller is like 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.760 the last honest man in America was just propaganda that 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.600 the Left was thrown out there because they really, they 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:23.720 really wanted they wanted to believe it. They wanted as 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:25.920 many people as possible to buy into it because it 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:29.560 just would have given more power to whatever charge Mueller 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.600 did go with. But because he didn't go with charges, 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.080 in a sense, we've learned even more about his motives. 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.840 We've learned even more about who he is and what 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.520 he's trying to do here, which is that this was 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.360 all this was all men as a handoff to the 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:46.000 Congress for impeachment. It's not Mueller's job, it's not his prerogative. 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.960 And you know, you have these these partisan players that 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.080 were at the top of the US law enforce in 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.360 pure oxy for a long time, Kobe and Mueller, and 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:59.920 these are not people that should have had the powers 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.080 they did. They should not be trusted, They should not 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:07.640 be treated like these paragons are virtue because they're partisans, Folks. 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:12.960 Andy McCarthy's up next. Why didn't he investigate Struck and 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:17.480 Paige at McCabe and called me and all the lies 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.640 and brand him and the lives. Why didn't comb me 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.520 come clean? Why didn't Colly come clean and say the 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:30.120 things that he knows are fact? Why didn't Muller investigate 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:35.720 combing his best friend? President fighting back here, folks, doesn't 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.280 like to take this stuff lying down? What should we 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:42.680 make of you know, the aftermath after Muller's press conference, 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.920 and now we're waiting for this IG report. Andy McCarthy's 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.240 with us now, Andy, great to have you, obviously, Andy's 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:51.800 from National Review and Fox News. What did you meet? 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:53.840 I really want to ask you this yesterday, but we 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:57.120 got you today. This press conference that Muller put on there, 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:01.680 What the heck was that? Well? I think Buck that 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:06.639 he was probably unhappy with the way that he was 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:11.760 criticized after the report came out for not deciding the 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:16.280 one thing that he was even arguably needed to decide. 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.159 I don't think there should have been a special counsel 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.040 at all, But even if you if you think there 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.640 should have been one, by the time he got the case, 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:28.480 this is mainly an impeachment investigation. I think collusion went 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.199 by the boards pretty quick. So the one thing he 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:35.880 was arguably needed for is to decide whether the president 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:39.160 obstructed justice, and he didn't decide it. So he got 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.760 a lot of criticism for that, I think rightly so, 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.080 and he's not happy about it. So he's out there 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:48.920 trying to number one, explain himself. But number two, Buck, 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:54.679 I think this was always an impeachment investigation, and I 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.879 think his parting shot going out the door was to 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.120 try to make it clear that that was the way 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.680 he saw it. What do you make of bars comments 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:10.399 that there was nothing stopping Muller from saying, yeah, no 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.560 laws were broken here, But the DJ guidance is that 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:18.199 we can't bring charges. That's been my take on this 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:21.760 all along. But am I missing something? No, you're absolutely right. 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:26.159 The prosecutor's job, there's two levels that we need to 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:28.560 talk about this. The prosecutor who's assigned to the case, 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:34.880 and then there's the supervision and the special counsel regulations 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:38.719 buck are designed to make the relationship between the special 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:43.919 counsel and the Attorney General pretty much the analogous to 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:49.440 any relationship between an assistant US Attorney and the US 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:52.440 Attorney or his supervisor in a US Attorney's office. So 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:58.000 what happens is the line prosecutor who is investigating the 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:02.200 case comes to a conclusion about whether there's enough evidence 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:05.800 to charge or not, and then you bring that to 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:11.119 your supervisor, who number one decides yes or no, I 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.879 agree with you about whether there's enough evidence to charge, 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:18.680 and number two, whether there are any institutional or policy 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:23.439 reasons who are not going forward. And that's not to 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.760 say that those can't be flagged by the line prosecutor. 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.800 But the line prosecutor's job is to decide do we 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:33.400 have a case or not? And if the Justice Department 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:36.560 as an institution at that point, if you have a case, 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.000 so you think you have a case, wants to jump 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:41.720 in and say yes, but we have these policies that 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:44.760 don't enable us to bring the case, then that's the 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:50.240 Justice Department's call. But there was no reason either why 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:54.879 Muller couldn't or shouldn't have made the bottom line call. 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:59.600 And the claim that you couldn't evaluate the sufficiency of 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:03.639 the sidence because there was this guidance against indicting a 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:07.480 sitting president is absurd, I would point out to people, 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:09.240 and I have been trying to point out to people. 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.880 Notice the guidance buck doesn't say that the president can 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:16.760 never be indicted. It simply says that a sitting president 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:20.400 can't be indicted, which means at some point he can 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:23.959 be charged. So somebody has to decide that. And what 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:26.520 Mueller seems to be saying is it shouldn't be the 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:30.000 guy who just spent two years investigating it. What is 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:32.359 supposed to happen when when Trump is out of office? 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:35.120 Are we supposed to have another two year investigation at 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:37.920 that point where the prosecutor who's actually going to make 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:41.159 the decision that he's charged. To me, I mean, that's absurd. 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:44.440 So you don't even think and I mean this is 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:47.280 again I've taken this position for days here on the show, 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.359 but it's not even really a good It seems to 0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:53.160 me like Muller's not operating in good faith here. That's 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:57.560 he's playing politics, and his whole justification for why he 0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:00.240 wouldn't make the call doesn't hold up. Yeah, well, I 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:04.360 think Buck, that's not only exactly true, it's obvious if 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:08.400 you look at the record of what happened here. Let 0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:10.800 me make two points because they're a little bit schemy, 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:15.800 but but I think it's important to understand in my view, 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:20.360 this is what happened here. Number one, the reliance on 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:24.040 The best you can say from Maller is that the 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:27.119 reliance on the Office of Legal Counsel guidance that a 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:31.200 sitting president may not be indicted is something he settled 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:34.639 on at the last minute, long after he decided not 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:38.679 to decide. And the reason we know that is Muller 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:42.920 doesn't contend that Barr was wrong. When Barr said that 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:45.359 on March fifth, which is two and a half weeks 0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:49.560 before he delivers the final report, Muller was emphatic that 0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:52.640 the Office of Legal Counsel guidance was not his reason 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:57.200 for not making the decision, and when Barr asked him, then, well, 0:21:57.200 --> 0:21:59.920 what is your reasoning, he said that their staff was 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:04.879 still formulating the reasoning. So I think the best interpretation 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:10.360 here from Muller's point of view is that they're backwards reasoning. 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:13.959 They basically are results oriented. They had already decided not 0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:17.240 to decide, and they were trying to come up with 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:20.320 a reason, and at the time that he first talked 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:23.399 to Bar, the OLC guidance was not the reason they 0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:25.320 wanted to rely on. But by the time they did 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:27.520 the report, it turned out to be the reason because 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:31.560 they couldn't come up with anything else. More Over, and 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:34.359 this goes a little bit deeper into it, what's the 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:37.320 reason for not deciding? And this is what I think 0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:41.920 people should focus on. If Muller had come to Bar 0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:46.359 and said, I think we have a prosecutable obstruction case, 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:49.920 what would have happened? There would have been a brawl 0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:54.119 inside the Justice Department about what the proper standards for 0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:59.880 evaluating obstruction are. Because Barr and Mueller clearly do not 0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:03.600 agree on this. I mean, that's that's clear from not 0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:07.000 only we've seen Bar's reasoning on this in that memo 0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:11.400 that came out before he was confirmed. We've seen Mueller's 0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:14.199 reasoning in the report, and we've heard Barr say that 0:23:14.240 --> 0:23:18.080 he disagreed with Mueller and Rosenstong apparently also disagreed with 0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:21.960 Muller on what obstruction law is. So if they had 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:24.800 come to the Justice Department, they come to Bar and said, 0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:27.359 we think we have an indictable case, what would have 0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:30.720 happened is that would have gotten bolloxed up in the 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:34.639 Justice Department and they would have had a big brawl 0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:38.199 over whether over you know, what the correct standard was. 0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:41.640 What Mueller wanted, I think was to get this evidence 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:45.080 to Congress. So what he did instead of provoking a 0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:47.280 big fight that would have settled this at the Justice 0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:51.160 Department level, is he said, I've decided not to decide. 0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:53.480 So what I'm gonna do is I'll give you the 0:23:53.560 --> 0:23:55.760 evidence on one side of the question, and then I'll 0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:57.879 give you the evidence on the other side of the question. 0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:01.520 I'm not going to exonerate him, wink wink. That means 0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:04.440 I might I think there may be a case here, 0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:08.760 but I won't decide. And that way he didn't provoke 0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:12.639 a fight over what are the impeachment standards in the 0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:17.359 Justice Department. In fact, when Barr decided this when he 0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:21.040 on his own, because Muller abdicated. When Barr decided there 0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:25.480 was no obstruction case, he didn't desturb Mueller's legal framework. 0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:29.360 He said that he was deciding this assuming even though 0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:31.560 he didn't agree with it, that Mueller was right on 0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:35.160 the law. But because prosecutors always have to prove corrupt 0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:38.119 intent beyond a reasonable doubt, he didn't think on the 0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:40.879 facts that no matter what the legal standard was, you 0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:43.760 wouldn't be able to prove intent beyond a reasonable debt. 0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:48.440 But what Mueller accomplished your book was he end ran 0:24:49.160 --> 0:24:51.320 what would otherwise have been a big fight in the 0:24:51.359 --> 0:24:55.600 Justice Department over obstruction and got his evidence to Congress 0:24:55.680 --> 0:24:59.719 under circumstances where he now tells Congress, gee, you know, 0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:02.640 I would have charged them, or I might very well 0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:06.080 have charged them, except there was this OLC guidance. But 0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:10.639 wink wink. In this system, the way it works is 0:25:10.680 --> 0:25:13.320 the Congress is the only body that can deal with 0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:16.760 a sitting president. A federal prosecutor can't do that. So 0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:20.120 let me give you my two hundred pages of obstruction evidence. 0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:22.359 And by the way, I think there may be celonies 0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:26.080 in here. And isn't it the case though, that that's 0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:28.880 not his job. That's you know, for people who want 0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:31.440 to tell me that Muller's such a great guy. If 0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:36.480 he's making that decision, he's going well beyond his brief. Yes, well, 0:25:36.520 --> 0:25:39.680 here's the problem there, Buck, he was not given one 0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:42.920 hat to wear. You know, he should have been. He's 0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:46.280 a special castle, so he's supposed to be a subordinate 0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:49.560 federal prosecutor in the Justice Department chain of command, but 0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:53.200 at any given time, he alternatively wears the hats of 0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:59.560 counterintelligence investigator. Because this whole investigation took under the place 0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:03.440 since there was no crime to predigate a criminal investigation, 0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:07.080 it took place under the guise of counterintelligence, right, which 0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:09.159 allowed them to look for a crime without having to 0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:14.760 have one when they started out. So he's part counterintelligence investigator, 0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:19.679 he's part counseled to a congressional impeachment committee, which is 0:26:19.680 --> 0:26:22.200 what I think he ultimately wanted to be, And he's 0:26:22.280 --> 0:26:26.919 part federal prosecutor. And he switches from one hat to 0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:29.760 the next depending on what he needs to accomplish at 0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:34.159 any given moment. Andy McCarthy, everybody check him out on 0:26:34.240 --> 0:26:38.639 National Review. Also you will see him on Fox News. Andy, 0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:40.840 great stuff, and not just because I agree with everything 0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:42.760 you said, and we've agreed with each other on this one. 0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:46.679 Thanks so much. We sure have. Thanks Buck, Yeah, thanks Eddie. Yeah, man, 0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:48.520 I didn't even go to law school. And I'm saying 0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:50.840 all this stuff isn't that funny, but it's true. It's 0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:52.800 when you reason these things through. You see, I mean, 0:26:52.840 --> 0:26:56.359 Muller as smaller as a hack, very clear why he 0:26:56.400 --> 0:26:58.960 made these decisions, why he's done what he has done. 0:26:59.320 --> 0:27:01.520 And you know, people just need to come around to 0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:03.600 the reality of this and stop. We need to stop 0:27:03.640 --> 0:27:06.320 living in some fantasy where you know, Saint Muller would 0:27:06.359 --> 0:27:08.760 he would never Oh, I see, Muller would never do 0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:12.480 something to besmirched the office of the Special Council. Please, 0:27:13.080 --> 0:27:15.640 just like Comey was a saint until he wasn't. There 0:27:15.640 --> 0:27:19.679 were no charges none. If you look at if you 0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:24.679 look at Bill Clinton, that very nice gentleman who has 0:27:24.720 --> 0:27:27.879 been so much on my side, as you know, his 0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:32.720 special prosecutor, it was guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, so 0:27:32.840 --> 0:27:39.000 many guilty with me. There was no guilty. Comparing the 0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:45.400 Trump and Clinton Special Council situations or you know, independent prosecutor, 0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:49.120 dependent Council, all the stuff that basically the same thing, right, 0:27:50.640 --> 0:27:53.840 Comparing them is problematic for a lot of reasons. One 0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:56.360 of them is that Bill Clinton was very much guilty, 0:27:56.720 --> 0:27:59.000 and ken Starr said in his report that Bill Clinton 0:27:59.080 --> 0:28:03.160 was guilty of breaking laws. And it is as stretch 0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:06.480 at best to think that charges could have been brought 0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:10.680 against President Trump under a very expansive and I would 0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:18.119 offer to you very flimsy understanding of obstruction and obstruction 0:28:18.200 --> 0:28:21.280 is a bit like conspiracy, Isn't that interesting? They looked 0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:25.520 at conspiracy with the Russians to hack into the or 0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:27.120 you know, to mess with the election, and they looked 0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:31.440 at obstruction in terms of the investigation of that. Those 0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:36.160 are two of the most malleable statutes at the federal 0:28:36.200 --> 0:28:39.560 government that federal agencies have at their disposal. They can 0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:44.960 come up with some very novel interpretations to get people 0:28:45.040 --> 0:28:50.160 on either conspiracy or on obstruction. And often if you 0:28:50.240 --> 0:28:53.080 ask a skilled prosecutor, they'll say, well, what's what's conspiracy 0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:55.280 or what's obstruction? It's kind of whatever the prosecutor says 0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:59.480 it is. And even in that environment, even with that 0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:03.040 being true, they have not been able to come up 0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:08.720 with President Trump broke the law. And the one place 0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:11.120 where they seem to think they've got the strongest case 0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:17.479 is on telling Don McGann to fire, to fire you know, 0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:23.800 UM personnel over DJ and that didn't happen. So now 0:29:23.840 --> 0:29:27.720 you're now it's attempted obstruction. But if the president wanted 0:29:27.760 --> 0:29:30.400 to fire somebody, he could just fire them. So what 0:29:30.480 --> 0:29:32.720 was he just venting? And he was talking to an advisor? 0:29:33.120 --> 0:29:35.760 And can you even obstruct an investigation of something that's 0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:39.000 a fraud? You know, is that something that you can 0:29:39.120 --> 0:29:40.720 even do? These are all the questions that are that 0:29:40.800 --> 0:29:45.160 still remain, And yet what they offer to us is, oh, 0:29:45.200 --> 0:29:47.720 the president's so guilty they have to impeach them. We'll 0:29:47.720 --> 0:29:50.760 get an appeachment a little bit. But Bill Clinton, this 0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:56.080 was as as clear and egregious of a violator, or 0:29:56.160 --> 0:29:59.640 I shouldn't say egregious. This is as clear a violation 0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:03.120 as you're gonna find, you know, lying under oath about 0:30:03.160 --> 0:30:05.640 something that we now know. And he even admits a 0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:08.240 lot under oath about just thought that he could play 0:30:08.240 --> 0:30:11.479 these weird definition games to get around it's not going 0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:15.320 to I wasn't going to cut the mustard. But Trump 0:30:15.360 --> 0:30:17.160 also was going on offense a bit here because he 0:30:17.200 --> 0:30:20.280 realizes that this is now just a battle of narrative. 0:30:20.320 --> 0:30:22.600 This has turned into a political fight it's not really 0:30:22.760 --> 0:30:27.120 a legal fight anymore. It's really about politics involved here. 0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:31.520 And Trump said, look, Muller's a conflicted guy. You know, 0:30:31.760 --> 0:30:35.400 Muller's somebody who should never have been trusted in this role, 0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:37.880 should never have been put in this position. Placlap eight. 0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:43.440 He wanted the FBI job and he didn't get it, 0:30:43.520 --> 0:30:47.000 and the next day he was picked a special counsel. 0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:50.400 So you tell somebody I'm sorry, you can't have the job, 0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:53.280 and then after you say that, he's gonna make a 0:30:53.400 --> 0:30:55.640 ruling on you. It doesn't work that way. Plus we 0:30:55.720 --> 0:31:02.280 had a business dispute. Plus his relationship with Tomy was extraordinary. 0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:05.080 You know, he's saying that this is a guy who's 0:31:05.080 --> 0:31:07.040 opposed to him, it's a guy who doesn't like him. 0:31:07.440 --> 0:31:10.840 And I think there's a lot to you know, a 0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:17.200 lot to suggest that Komy doesn't like him, Mueller doesn't 0:31:17.240 --> 0:31:19.880 like him. You know, these are guys who are part 0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:21.880 of the establishment. These are guys who are part of 0:31:22.440 --> 0:31:27.640 what you'd consider the permanent class, the permanent bureaucracy in DC. 0:31:27.800 --> 0:31:30.880 And they have very high opinions of themselves. I think 0:31:30.960 --> 0:31:33.600 they're really important, and they're big players in history. And 0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:37.719 they both Komey and Muller have inserted themselves pretending to 0:31:37.760 --> 0:31:42.160 be these nonpartisan Oh it's just about doing what's right 0:31:42.240 --> 0:31:45.600 public servants, but they've inserted themselves in very political ways 0:31:45.600 --> 0:31:49.600 in this whole process. So, you know, I think the 0:31:49.600 --> 0:31:52.400 President's on solid ground when he's making making this case. 0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:55.480 But I also want to point out that the president 0:31:55.480 --> 0:31:57.000 I'm not going to get much in the immigration today. 0:31:57.080 --> 0:32:01.240 The President's promising a major an nowtment having to do 0:32:01.480 --> 0:32:06.160 with the border. He's saying that something big is in 0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:11.280 the works for the border. Play clip seven. This is 0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:14.400 a big league statement, but that we are going to 0:32:14.440 --> 0:32:17.800 do something very dramatic on the border. Democrats will not 0:32:18.280 --> 0:32:21.360 give us laws. They will not change laws, they will 0:32:21.360 --> 0:32:24.040 not meet, they will not do anything. They want to 0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:26.840 have open borders, they want to have prime they want 0:32:26.840 --> 0:32:29.480 to have drugs. Boring it. We have brought something to 0:32:29.640 --> 0:32:32.160 the light of the people. They see now it's a 0:32:32.280 --> 0:32:37.000 national emergency and most people agree. The Democrats agree to, 0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:40.960 but they won't give us the legislation you need to 0:32:41.000 --> 0:32:44.000 fix them. No place in the world has what we 0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:47.920 have in terms of ridiculous immigration laws. So I will 0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:51.320 be making a major statement. I would say, my biggest 0:32:51.320 --> 0:32:57.240 statement on the border, probably today or tomorrow's promising major statement, 0:32:57.280 --> 0:32:59.640 maybe his biggest statement. It's a guy who's saying, build 0:32:59.640 --> 0:33:02.920 the wall, Build the wall. Big statement coming up on 0:33:03.040 --> 0:33:04.960 the border. I don't know what it is. I'm going 0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:06.400 to call some of my White House sources and see 0:33:06.440 --> 0:33:08.440 if I can get a little bit of a you know, 0:33:08.480 --> 0:33:10.360 a little bit of an inside track to it. But 0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:12.480 President saying big things coming, So we'll have to wait 0:33:12.520 --> 0:33:14.520 and see on that one. But you know what else 0:33:14.600 --> 0:33:18.040 might be coming. Impeachment. We will discuss that coming up 0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:21.320 here in a moment. Nothing is off the table, but 0:33:21.440 --> 0:33:23.920 we do want to make such a compelling case, such 0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:29.560 an iron cloud cast case, that even the Republican Senate, 0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:34.560 which at the time seems to be not an objective jury, 0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:38.640 will be convinced of the path that we have to 0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:40.959 take as a country. I still think this goes back 0:33:41.000 --> 0:33:42.920 to democratic talking points. So what they want, and this 0:33:43.000 --> 0:33:46.000 is what the truth is. Their impeachment to their base 0:33:46.240 --> 0:33:48.160 is like the wall is to our base. This is 0:33:48.160 --> 0:33:51.560 their fundraising thing. And the truth is this is a 0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:54.720 made up, false problem in crisis, but our wall is 0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:59.480 a real crisis. I'm glad that Brad Parscal who's running 0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:03.200 the Trump re election re election effort, out of that 0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:05.200 part of the end that this is not like the 0:34:05.240 --> 0:34:09.080 wall for the base, because the base really wants the wall. 0:34:09.080 --> 0:34:11.920 That's people like me are saying, Hey, we were promised 0:34:11.920 --> 0:34:14.080 a wall, but let's let's dig in a bit more 0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:17.000 into this impeachment issue. I don't want to get diverted 0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:18.720 to a wall. You know, we haven't talked about immigration 0:34:18.800 --> 0:34:23.040 much on the show. Hasn't gotten better, folks, Still a crisis. 0:34:23.520 --> 0:34:26.960 Just I'm just reminding everyone still has not been not handled, 0:34:27.000 --> 0:34:29.839 not settled by the administration. But we have to deal 0:34:29.840 --> 0:34:32.839 with impeachment right now. Nancy Pelosi says, nothing is off 0:34:32.840 --> 0:34:37.759 the table. We want to make an ironclad case. Do 0:34:37.840 --> 0:34:41.480 they really expect does any Democrat expect us to believe 0:34:41.840 --> 0:34:45.919 that they believe they'll be able to make a more 0:34:46.000 --> 0:34:51.200 compelling case about Trump's shortcomings and the reasons for Trump 0:34:51.239 --> 0:34:54.560 being a peach than what Muller has already done. And 0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:57.160 we know Muller's a partisan. We know Muller hates Trump. 0:34:57.200 --> 0:35:00.400 He showed us this. There can be no surprise anymore 0:35:00.400 --> 0:35:05.040 about this. But Pelosi's not sure she wants to tell everybody. 0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:07.520 I think they're going to do it. They're going to 0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:09.560 impeach the president. I think they're going to do it. 0:35:09.600 --> 0:35:11.919 I don't think that they can help themselves. This isn't 0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:14.960 a normal presidency for them. This is a moment where 0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:17.839 they think that everything that the Democrats, everything the left 0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:22.040 believes and holds dear and sacred, if they really hold 0:35:22.040 --> 0:35:25.600 anything sacred, they think that that is threatened by Trump. 0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:31.240 And given that mindset, it's just I think very unlikely 0:35:31.280 --> 0:35:35.160 that they'd be able to pass the opportunity to impeach him. 0:35:35.200 --> 0:35:36.520 And they're going to do it just so they can 0:35:36.560 --> 0:35:39.080 say they did it. They think it's going to be 0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:42.920 useful tactically against the president in his reelection campaign. And 0:35:43.040 --> 0:35:46.360 there's there's a big part of this that is Catharsis 0:35:46.400 --> 0:35:48.719 for them. You know, this is they're working out their 0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:54.239 issues here. There's a sense of a vindication and validation 0:35:54.440 --> 0:36:00.080 that will come from an impeachment of the president. And 0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:04.560 that's why when when she says, you know, Republicans are 0:36:04.560 --> 0:36:06.200 going to be convinced of the path you have a day, 0:36:06.239 --> 0:36:11.600 I mean, that's this is so disingenuous. Nancy knows whether 0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:13.959 she's slowing down a few steps or not. Nancy knows 0:36:14.000 --> 0:36:18.560 Republicans are never in a million years, based on all 0:36:18.560 --> 0:36:21.880 the information we have right now, going to go along 0:36:21.920 --> 0:36:25.799 with voting against, voting to impeache Trump in the House 0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:28.480 and then certainly to remove him in the sentence. She 0:36:28.520 --> 0:36:31.279 knows that's not going to happen. Justin Amash aside, you 0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:33.719 know that guy always always kind of struck me as 0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:39.560 a smarmy grandstander. Anyway, he cares a lot about about FISA, right, 0:36:39.600 --> 0:36:42.799 He's he's been a big Oh I'm mister libertarian. I 0:36:42.880 --> 0:36:46.560 worry about spying. No spying on Americans. What about the 0:36:46.560 --> 0:36:50.920 spying on Carter Page, Amash, you got any thoughts on that? 0:36:50.960 --> 0:36:55.120 What about the spying on George Papadopoulos. The not yet 0:36:55.120 --> 0:36:59.359 has proved, Well, there was spying on General Flynn. It's 0:36:59.360 --> 0:37:04.839 just that we believe that was probably the at least 0:37:04.840 --> 0:37:07.360 the theories that that was incidental because he was speaking 0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:10.440 to the Russian ambassador. But you know, there was surveillance obviously, 0:37:10.480 --> 0:37:12.840 That's how they got that leaked conversation that they had 0:37:12.880 --> 0:37:16.399 the conversational League in the first place. But I don't 0:37:16.400 --> 0:37:19.560 see Amash raising any alarms, but any of that, and 0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:23.000 mister libertarian man seems to me that's something that he 0:37:23.080 --> 0:37:27.200 skips right past. I give Rand Paul credit at least 0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:29.920 for saying that we do need to look in it. 0:37:30.040 --> 0:37:32.920 You know, Rand Paul has always been somebody that he 0:37:32.960 --> 0:37:35.560 doesn't have the political skills needed to win the presidency, 0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:38.360 never mind I think, to run the country. But his 0:37:38.600 --> 0:37:41.000 ideas in general appeal to me because I think he 0:37:41.040 --> 0:37:44.759 comes from this place, this really rarefied place in politics, 0:37:44.840 --> 0:37:48.840 this this very and it feels like it's evaporating with 0:37:49.280 --> 0:37:51.360 every passing year. He comes to this place of you 0:37:51.400 --> 0:37:54.719 know what, I don't want to tell you what to 0:37:54.719 --> 0:37:56.480 do all the time. I don't want to make you 0:37:56.560 --> 0:37:58.120 do lots of things you don't want to do. I 0:37:58.120 --> 0:38:00.279 don't want the government in charge of every aspect of 0:38:00.280 --> 0:38:03.759 your life. And I like that. I find that comforting. 0:38:04.400 --> 0:38:07.120 I don't believe Rand Paul wants to be a benevolent 0:38:07.239 --> 0:38:10.680 dictator in some capacity. I think a lot of Democrats 0:38:10.719 --> 0:38:13.000 and even some Republicans kind of do if they had 0:38:13.040 --> 0:38:14.719 their ability, if they had the ability to do so. 0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:18.680 But but Rand has been all over the FISA issue, 0:38:18.760 --> 0:38:21.799 which there's no way we're going to come out of 0:38:21.840 --> 0:38:25.520 this Inspector General report from the DOJ and all the 0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:29.960 Russia collusion origin stuff. There's no way we come away 0:38:29.960 --> 0:38:35.200 from this without realizing the FISA was abused, because it 0:38:35.280 --> 0:38:38.239 was abused, and then understanding that that means there has 0:38:38.239 --> 0:38:40.600 to be some changes so that it cannot be used 0:38:40.640 --> 0:38:43.920 for spying purposes, for political spying purposes again in the future. 0:38:44.000 --> 0:38:48.719 Here's here's a Rampaul had a real libertarian Rand Paul 0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:55.560 versus amash A. I think opt opportunistic libertarian. Here's a 0:38:55.680 --> 0:38:58.640 Rampaulsey by thirteen. I think the President has the ability 0:38:58.680 --> 0:39:00.480 to do it by executive order. He could say to 0:39:00.520 --> 0:39:03.040 the FBI that from now on, our policy is that 0:39:03.080 --> 0:39:05.399 the FBI has to go to get a court order 0:39:05.480 --> 0:39:08.319 or a warrant in a public court to search this 0:39:08.440 --> 0:39:11.880 database for an Americans information. Now it's different for foreigners. 0:39:12.200 --> 0:39:15.000 We spawn foreigners all the time and there's a lower standard. 0:39:15.200 --> 0:39:19.239 But for an American, it's extraordinary that our own intelligence 0:39:19.239 --> 0:39:21.960 community that's supposed to spawn foreigners was spying on the 0:39:21.960 --> 0:39:25.360 Trump campaign. So this shouldn't happen either to President Trump 0:39:25.520 --> 0:39:29.680 but to any future president of either. This is such 0:39:30.000 --> 0:39:35.800 a profoundly important point he makes that there was spying 0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:40.160 on a presidential campaign, and we need to not accept 0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:46.280 that there's nothing okay about this. You know, we're we're 0:39:46.400 --> 0:39:50.160 lectured by Democrats and leftists about how, oh, Russian interference 0:39:50.160 --> 0:39:53.560 in the election. What about the deep state interference in 0:39:53.560 --> 0:39:57.439 the election, which is real, unlike the Russian interference, which 0:39:57.560 --> 0:40:00.680 was minimal from the Russian side. When I say minimal, 0:40:00.719 --> 0:40:03.759 I mean of minimal impact. Oh no, we could argue 0:40:03.760 --> 0:40:05.319 about this all day long. We all know it didn't 0:40:05.320 --> 0:40:07.440 do anything. It didn't change anything. It was it was 0:40:07.480 --> 0:40:10.919 really essentially the equivalent of like a Russian prank. I'm 0:40:10.920 --> 0:40:15.080 not saying it was funny, but there's no serious argument 0:40:15.080 --> 0:40:16.440 that this changed the ut in the election. But the 0:40:16.480 --> 0:40:18.120 Trump team had nothing to do with it. We all 0:40:18.120 --> 0:40:22.280 know that now. But on the other side of things, 0:40:24.160 --> 0:40:27.280 there was foreign interference in the election. Christopher Steele's a foreigner. 0:40:28.200 --> 0:40:32.799 Christopher Steele used Russian therefore for in subsources and pass 0:40:32.880 --> 0:40:36.759 that information to contacts in the media to run a 0:40:36.800 --> 0:40:40.520 smear campaign, but also brought the dacier made its way 0:40:40.560 --> 0:40:46.040 into the government apparatus itself, and federal spy agencies or 0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:48.399 federal agencies with the ability to spy. In the case 0:40:48.440 --> 0:40:54.440 of the FBI, they used it. This is the big, 0:40:54.480 --> 0:40:56.400 the big fear, and this is why I think you 0:40:56.400 --> 0:41:02.760 see Komey and so many of these once incredibly sanctimonious. 0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:05.880 That's why we call him sanctatomy. Incredibly sanctimonious officials. Some 0:41:05.920 --> 0:41:07.439 of them have toned it down a little bit because 0:41:07.440 --> 0:41:09.880 I think that they realized that they're going to have 0:41:09.920 --> 0:41:14.000 some splaining to do. They're going to have to sit 0:41:14.080 --> 0:41:17.760 down and answer questions in front of the American people 0:41:17.800 --> 0:41:22.400 about why would you use OPO research for a spy 0:41:22.480 --> 0:41:26.920 a secret spying court and think that that's okay. You know, 0:41:26.960 --> 0:41:30.239 the real scandal in all this, I mean we've been told, oh, 0:41:30.280 --> 0:41:32.040 the Russian you know, the Russians and this and that. 0:41:32.360 --> 0:41:35.520 The real scandal on this is that the Trump campaign 0:41:35.760 --> 0:41:39.279 was spied on under false pretenses. We were lied to 0:41:39.400 --> 0:41:42.160 about that. We were actually told that anybody who believed 0:41:42.160 --> 0:41:44.719 they were spied on, and this was a year a 0:41:44.800 --> 0:41:47.319 year after the election, and who believe it there was 0:41:47.360 --> 0:41:50.359 spying was crazy and lying. And then it turned out 0:41:50.360 --> 0:41:52.160 there was spying where they said that it was justified. 0:41:52.200 --> 0:41:54.279 We're gonna find out very soon. This is going to 0:41:54.360 --> 0:41:56.520 come out of the Inspector General report this month. I 0:41:56.560 --> 0:42:00.080 believe that there was spying and it wasn't just to 0:42:00.160 --> 0:42:02.719 find What do we do then, we want to talk 0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:06.359 about undermining our institutions and protecting the sanctity of our democracy. 0:42:07.040 --> 0:42:09.360 What do we do when we find out, as we will, 0:42:09.400 --> 0:42:11.560 that the fires A court and the FBI, the DOJ 0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:14.280 were used as a partisan weapon in a presidential election? 0:42:15.040 --> 0:42:17.200 How do we handle that? You are the ones who 0:42:17.200 --> 0:42:20.640 will invent and define the next generation of air warfare, 0:42:21.080 --> 0:42:24.280 and you are the ones who will secure American victory 0:42:24.360 --> 0:42:29.400 all the time, victory to dominate the future, America must 0:42:29.520 --> 0:42:38.239 rule the skies. And that is what your time at 0:42:38.239 --> 0:42:41.880 this great academy has been all about. Preparing you to 0:42:41.960 --> 0:42:46.560 do whatever it takes to learn to adapt and to win, win, win, 0:42:47.520 --> 0:42:50.320 win so much you're going to get so tired of winning. 0:42:50.360 --> 0:42:58.520 But not really, not really, we never get tired of 0:42:58.560 --> 0:43:03.200 winning doing, not tired of winning yet. President Trump, he 0:43:03.320 --> 0:43:07.840 was speaking at the Air Force Academy. And you know 0:43:07.920 --> 0:43:11.960 one one aspect of this presidency that is I believe 0:43:12.040 --> 0:43:19.800 intentionally underreported on and skipped over by the psychotically hostile press. 0:43:19.800 --> 0:43:22.440 I mean, they really do have a problem. I mean, 0:43:22.480 --> 0:43:25.120 they hate this president in a way that is that 0:43:25.360 --> 0:43:30.879 is unnatural, unhealthy. It's not just about politics. It's much 0:43:31.120 --> 0:43:34.279 deeper than that. And trumped arrangement syndrome is a is 0:43:34.320 --> 0:43:36.799 a real and I would argue, and I'm sure you 0:43:36.800 --> 0:43:39.360 could get some professionals to weigh in on this an 0:43:39.520 --> 0:43:44.160 identifiable phenomenon. It is far too powerful in the minds 0:43:44.160 --> 0:43:46.239 of some people. You know, I know about some of 0:43:46.280 --> 0:43:48.560 the different mental illnesses that are out there, and a 0:43:48.600 --> 0:43:52.040 lot of it is based on the sense of exaggerated 0:43:52.120 --> 0:43:54.600 threat or And this is how people get anxiety and 0:43:54.600 --> 0:43:57.400 people get OCD. You know, they worry aboh this is 0:43:57.480 --> 0:43:59.319 this might have happened, or that might have happened. You know, 0:43:59.360 --> 0:44:02.320 somebody will think that I would they're driving a car 0:44:02.360 --> 0:44:04.959 and they they ran somebody over, but they just didn't 0:44:05.000 --> 0:44:07.200 know they ran somebody over. I mean, this is this 0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:09.640 is the way liberals think about Trump. They must know 0:44:09.719 --> 0:44:11.760 at some level that their lives are going to be fine, 0:44:11.960 --> 0:44:14.680 nothing is really going to happen. That's but Trump is 0:44:14.719 --> 0:44:18.760 destroying the world and ruining the country and undermining our republic. 0:44:18.800 --> 0:44:20.640 And they take all that stuff as some kind of 0:44:20.800 --> 0:44:26.640 personal affront, but putting that, casting that aside for a moment, 0:44:27.480 --> 0:44:32.840 Trump is very well liked. And maybe it's just because 0:44:33.000 --> 0:44:35.239 most of the military folks that I know tend to 0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:37.360 be conserved anyway. But it's very well like with the 0:44:37.440 --> 0:44:45.719 military and is certainly deeply, deeply respectful of the military. 0:44:45.760 --> 0:44:48.040 And I think that the Trump really does hold people 0:44:48.080 --> 0:44:52.040 that serve this country in incredibly high esteem, which which 0:44:52.080 --> 0:44:54.000 we would want for any commander in chief. And I 0:44:54.040 --> 0:44:57.560 think that that's that that tends to have been the 0:44:57.600 --> 0:45:01.920 case historically. But this brings me to the controversy around 0:45:02.560 --> 0:45:08.400 the USS John McCain, all right, which is a navy 0:45:08.480 --> 0:45:12.239 ship that people were saying as of what was it 0:45:12.280 --> 0:45:15.680 as of yesterday that the John McCain. I want to 0:45:15.680 --> 0:45:17.560 make sure I get some of these details right for 0:45:17.600 --> 0:45:21.120 you here. It's it's pretty remarkable that they covered up 0:45:21.520 --> 0:45:25.200 the name of the John. The initial story was that 0:45:25.280 --> 0:45:29.600 they covered up the you know, the the John McCain 0:45:30.800 --> 0:45:34.439 name on the ship with a tarp and they gave 0:45:34.520 --> 0:45:38.480 the sailors on this naval vessel the day off because 0:45:38.480 --> 0:45:40.800 when Trump was in Japan, it was it was docked 0:45:40.840 --> 0:45:46.400 in Japan, there was a sensitivity to Trump seeing this 0:45:46.480 --> 0:45:50.759 at all. I mean, I just I never believed this. 0:45:51.600 --> 0:45:54.960 I never thought that this was a real thing. I 0:45:55.040 --> 0:45:57.319 never thought that this was what happened. It was so 0:45:57.400 --> 0:46:00.600 interested to see many, including many conservatives, who were usually, 0:46:01.040 --> 0:46:07.080 if not favorable toward Trump, at least not infected with 0:46:07.840 --> 0:46:10.560 Trump derangement syndrome. Right. I mean, usually there are people 0:46:10.560 --> 0:46:15.000 that would give him some kind of benefit of the doubt. 0:46:15.560 --> 0:46:17.480 But here's what they say. Officers were told to keep 0:46:17.600 --> 0:46:22.800 USS John McCain from Trump's view during Japan visit. CBS 0:46:22.880 --> 0:46:25.719 News has confirmed this. CBS News Senior Nation Security correspondent 0:46:25.760 --> 0:46:28.840 David Martin reports that a US Indo Pacific Command official 0:46:29.320 --> 0:46:31.839 wrote an email to Navy and Air Force officials before 0:46:31.880 --> 0:46:35.640 mister Trump's arrival and included instructions for the proper landing 0:46:35.680 --> 0:46:39.040 areas for helicopters and preparations for the USS Wasp, the 0:46:39.120 --> 0:46:42.040 ship on which the President was to speak. The official 0:46:42.120 --> 0:46:45.759 then issued a third instruction, the USS John McCain needs 0:46:45.760 --> 0:46:48.000 to be out of sight. According to the email, which 0:46:48.040 --> 0:46:50.799 was first obtained by the Wall Street Journal and then 0:46:50.840 --> 0:46:56.680 other news outlets confirmed its existence. The Washington Post is 0:46:56.719 --> 0:47:00.400 Josh Dawzy tweeted that administration official confirms the story request 0:47:00.480 --> 0:47:03.759 was made to make sure mccainship wasn't visible, but aid 0:47:03.800 --> 0:47:07.040 say Trump wasn't involved in the request, but it was 0:47:07.120 --> 0:47:11.680 meant to prevent any potential ire from POTUS from the 0:47:11.719 --> 0:47:14.680 president United States and the Journal reporter that when a 0:47:14.760 --> 0:47:18.440 Navy commander expressed surprise at the instruction, the US in 0:47:18.560 --> 0:47:21.120 No Pacific Command official answered, first, I heard of it 0:47:21.160 --> 0:47:23.520 as first. I heard of it as well, and the 0:47:23.560 --> 0:47:25.440 officials said he would talk to the White House Military 0:47:25.440 --> 0:47:28.880 Office to get more information. Trump has said he was 0:47:28.920 --> 0:47:30.640 not informed about anything having to do with the Navy 0:47:30.680 --> 0:47:34.040 ship USS. John McCain, during his visits to Japan, noticed, Now, 0:47:34.040 --> 0:47:39.200 this is a This is a manufactured controversy, entirely manufactured. 0:47:40.360 --> 0:47:44.080 There is nothing to indicate whatsoever. We have zero evidence 0:47:45.000 --> 0:47:49.879 of any kind, and zero indicators that President Trump himself 0:47:51.040 --> 0:47:57.400 was asking for this, that President Trump wanted this to 0:47:57.440 --> 0:47:59.959 be covered up. So then why is it Trump's fault? 0:48:00.160 --> 0:48:03.480 Why is it oh, because someone else assumed that he 0:48:03.520 --> 0:48:05.839 would be And look, it would be a very petty thing. 0:48:05.960 --> 0:48:08.719 There's no question about it. You know, if Trump were 0:48:08.920 --> 0:48:11.200 to make a scene about this or to be angry 0:48:11.200 --> 0:48:14.200 about it. It's very petty, but you can't blame him 0:48:14.239 --> 0:48:16.520 for what somebody else thought might be going on in 0:48:16.560 --> 0:48:22.600 Trump's head. This is yet again another version, another manifestation, 0:48:22.840 --> 0:48:25.840 a symptom of the Trump's arrangement syndrome that has become 0:48:26.440 --> 0:48:30.680 such a powerful force in American politics. It's not it's 0:48:30.680 --> 0:48:32.640 not the president's fault that somebody thought that he's going 0:48:32.680 --> 0:48:36.480 to be hypersensitive about this, and yet there was all 0:48:36.520 --> 0:48:39.839 this trashing of the president around it, as though this 0:48:40.040 --> 0:48:43.640 was a request that he made. Well, he didn't make 0:48:43.680 --> 0:48:48.799 the request. No one says otherwise. Yet it's just it 0:48:48.880 --> 0:48:51.919 really is just maddening. And you know, there's so many 0:48:51.920 --> 0:48:53.759 areas where I think you could have a you could 0:48:53.760 --> 0:48:59.160 have very legitimate criticism, very legitimate criticism of this president. 0:48:59.400 --> 0:49:02.000 There are things that he has not delivered on yet. Look, 0:49:02.000 --> 0:49:03.719 I think he's doing a very good job, but there 0:49:03.760 --> 0:49:06.040 are areas with any president. You know, I'm not here, 0:49:06.440 --> 0:49:09.400 not here to worship a politician. We're here to push 0:49:09.440 --> 0:49:13.480 forward agenda and try to find the truth and understand 0:49:13.520 --> 0:49:17.359 what's happening in the world around us. But what they 0:49:17.560 --> 0:49:20.959 left keeps doing is coming up with fake reasons fake 0:49:21.040 --> 0:49:24.319 news to hate Trump, and then they wonder why we 0:49:24.360 --> 0:49:26.960 take everything all their criticisms with a grain of salt. Well, 0:49:26.960 --> 0:49:29.359 maybe it's because they are not to be trusted on this. 0:49:30.360 --> 0:49:36.480 Maybe they have shown us quite clearly that Donald Trump 0:49:36.680 --> 0:49:39.680 is someone who they cannot object never mind objectively cover. 0:49:39.760 --> 0:49:45.320 They can't cover him without showing venom. I'm just showing hatred, bile. 0:49:47.080 --> 0:49:49.720 Trump likes the military. There if there are some things 0:49:49.760 --> 0:49:51.640 I'm quite sure of. He takes the trade deal with 0:49:51.719 --> 0:49:56.759 China very seriously. He loves his family. He doesn't like CNN, 0:49:58.160 --> 0:50:02.200 but he really respects the military. Jerry, there's never been 0:50:02.239 --> 0:50:04.480 anything people say, oh Buck, but what about when he 0:50:04.480 --> 0:50:06.560 criticized this veteran of that veteran. Yeah, he has beefs 0:50:06.560 --> 0:50:10.319 with individuals. Does anyone really think that somebody who serves 0:50:10.360 --> 0:50:13.600 them in the military, who becomes a political opponent of 0:50:13.640 --> 0:50:17.360 someone else's is beyond is beyond being attacked? Now, I 0:50:17.360 --> 0:50:19.319 wouldn't have attacked some of the people that serve the 0:50:19.320 --> 0:50:23.080 way that Trump has. You know, he looked. Trump fights 0:50:23.160 --> 0:50:26.080 dirtier than I would. But he's the president and I'm not. 0:50:26.200 --> 0:50:30.600 And there's probably a pretty good reason for that. But 0:50:30.719 --> 0:50:32.600 he does respect our military. I mean this is just 0:50:32.640 --> 0:50:38.200 also from the Air Force Academy graduation yesterday, just to 0:50:38.239 --> 0:50:42.000 hear the President talking about this play twenty one to 0:50:42.200 --> 0:50:45.960 the nearly one thousand kiddets who I have agreed to 0:50:45.960 --> 0:50:55.319 shake every single hand. They gave me a choice, hey said, sir, 0:50:55.400 --> 0:50:58.200 you don't have to shake any hands. Some people do that. 0:50:58.800 --> 0:51:01.520 Those are the smart ones too. Out of you. You 0:51:01.560 --> 0:51:05.000 can shake one hand to the one person top of 0:51:05.040 --> 0:51:08.480 the class. You could shake ten fifty or one hundred, 0:51:08.840 --> 0:51:11.799 and you could also stay for a thousand, and I'm 0:51:11.840 --> 0:51:16.919 staying for a thousand. Okay, it's your commander in chief. 0:51:16.920 --> 0:51:21.360 Everybody staying in shake a thousand Air Force graduates hands. 0:51:22.400 --> 0:51:24.359 Just remember that because the press doesn't want to talk 0:51:24.360 --> 0:51:28.080 about it. There's this fascinating lawsuit that has been filed 0:51:28.080 --> 0:51:31.160 in New York City on privilege theory or the end 0:51:31.200 --> 0:51:37.960 result of privilege theory, which ties into white privilege, and 0:51:38.120 --> 0:51:42.239 on one of these ideas that has exploded in popularity 0:51:42.239 --> 0:51:45.400 on the left. I saw some interesting statistics yesterday and 0:51:46.239 --> 0:51:50.279 a researcher had gone through and looked for things like 0:51:51.320 --> 0:51:53.600 using lexis nexus. So it just pulls up all the 0:51:54.200 --> 0:51:59.080 different times that it appears in news publications and in 0:51:59.160 --> 0:52:02.960 the media, and looked up usage of terms like white supremacy, 0:52:03.080 --> 0:52:08.480 white privilege, unconscious bias, and what you find is that 0:52:08.600 --> 0:52:12.319 these are terms that all of a sudden explode in popularity. 0:52:12.840 --> 0:52:14.400 And in the last few years there have been a 0:52:14.480 --> 0:52:19.960 number of these where this might have existed before, but 0:52:20.040 --> 0:52:21.600 all of a sudden. The left asides that it's it's 0:52:21.600 --> 0:52:25.160 almost a campaign just to use the word or use 0:52:25.239 --> 0:52:29.160 the phrase enough that it becomes seared into our minds, 0:52:29.280 --> 0:52:32.719 that there's this thing called white privilege, for example. But 0:52:32.920 --> 0:52:36.879 this is the This is a specific lawsuit in New 0:52:36.960 --> 0:52:39.480 York City against the New York City Department of Education. 0:52:40.480 --> 0:52:46.080 There are three employees who are are all white, although 0:52:46.120 --> 0:52:49.640 their names are Lois Herrera, Jay Murray, and Laura phi 0:52:49.880 --> 0:52:54.120 ju um I. Maybe Lois Herrera's maiden name isn't Herrera, 0:52:54.200 --> 0:52:56.800 but that strikes me as usually if your name is Harrare, 0:52:56.880 --> 0:53:01.080 you're Hispanic. But they're apparently white or whatever. And they 0:53:01.120 --> 0:53:05.239 have sued the City of New York because they claim 0:53:06.000 --> 0:53:12.120 that they were demoted dramatically and replaced by non white 0:53:12.239 --> 0:53:18.040 employees who had lesser qualifications for the post and that 0:53:18.120 --> 0:53:21.920 this is not something that occurred in a vacuum, That 0:53:21.960 --> 0:53:26.879 there's a lot of rhetoric and a lot of teachings 0:53:26.960 --> 0:53:30.719 and theorizing and all this stuff that they're subjected to 0:53:30.760 --> 0:53:32.719 in the New York City Department of Education, which I 0:53:32.600 --> 0:53:36.200 imagine is kind of like a time work back into 0:53:36.200 --> 0:53:39.600 the Soviet Union in terms of its bureaucracy and the 0:53:39.640 --> 0:53:41.919 assaults on truth that I'm sure are a regular part 0:53:41.960 --> 0:53:46.200 of what goes on there. But they say they had 0:53:46.320 --> 0:53:50.439 people replaced them with lesser qualifications, and they would would 0:53:50.480 --> 0:53:56.799 hear things from their supervisors like, quote, white people had 0:53:56.840 --> 0:54:00.160 to white employees had to take a step back and 0:54:00.360 --> 0:54:05.359 yield to colleagues of color and recognize that values of 0:54:05.480 --> 0:54:13.799 white culture are supremacist end quote. M. There's so much 0:54:13.840 --> 0:54:20.160 there isn't there That we usually think of the efforts 0:54:20.200 --> 0:54:26.319 at at a kind of racial equity balancing. We think 0:54:26.360 --> 0:54:30.800 of affirmative action, right, We think of fairness through race 0:54:31.040 --> 0:54:34.719 as as it's practice with different legal mechanisms, as being well, 0:54:34.719 --> 0:54:40.080 we're going to advance some people. And now I have 0:54:40.239 --> 0:54:42.360 been and always and always will be. I mean, I 0:54:42.400 --> 0:54:46.480 think affirmative action is ethically and legally wrong. I do 0:54:46.560 --> 0:54:48.080 not agree with it. I do not believe in it. 0:54:48.120 --> 0:54:50.839 And everyone who hears me say that on Lefell of course, 0:54:50.880 --> 0:54:53.600 because you would. Yeah, that's right. I'm white and everything 0:54:53.640 --> 0:54:55.680 everything has been handed to me. I've never had to 0:54:55.719 --> 0:54:59.160 work hard. My white privilege has just coasted me through everything. 0:54:59.360 --> 0:55:02.440 You know, and the people that I know who have 0:55:02.520 --> 0:55:04.360 had a really tough time in life, and I know, 0:55:04.440 --> 0:55:07.759 struggle with addiction and homelessness and who are white. You know, 0:55:07.880 --> 0:55:10.520 they just didn't capitalize enough on their white privilege. I 0:55:10.560 --> 0:55:14.040 guess you know that most of the desperately poor in 0:55:14.040 --> 0:55:16.600 this country are white. In fact, doesn't seem to matter 0:55:16.719 --> 0:55:19.120 that that's their fault. I guess the left says, because 0:55:19.120 --> 0:55:22.359 they didn't really maximize that white privilege. You know, they didn't. 0:55:22.360 --> 0:55:24.040 They didn't turn in that white privilege card to get 0:55:24.080 --> 0:55:26.360 all the goodies that come with it. I mean, this 0:55:26.440 --> 0:55:31.759 is an offensive but now very widespread and really powerful 0:55:31.840 --> 0:55:35.120 social theory that's foisted, that has been foisted on the 0:55:35.120 --> 0:55:37.040 American people. And if you don't, as a white person, 0:55:37.360 --> 0:55:39.759 if you push back, oh, of course, of course you do. 0:55:40.080 --> 0:55:43.360 You don't want to admit your privilege. This, this is 0:55:43.400 --> 0:55:48.640 a stupid idea. It's unethical to judge people based upon 0:55:48.640 --> 0:55:51.680 their skin color any context as unethical. But what you 0:55:51.719 --> 0:55:54.480 have now is not just some people get an advantage 0:55:54.520 --> 0:55:57.240 because of their non whiteness. But that's not a privilege, 0:55:57.239 --> 0:56:00.440 you see, that's just fair when you get something and 0:56:00.480 --> 0:56:04.319 you're not white. And this is explicitly what happens on 0:56:04.360 --> 0:56:07.319 college campuses, and you know you are. There have even 0:56:07.360 --> 0:56:09.359 been points systems, now they got rid of that. There 0:56:09.360 --> 0:56:10.919 have been quotas, Oh they got rid of that. Acts 0:56:10.960 --> 0:56:15.080 that's too obvious. But non white students, for example, we'll 0:56:15.080 --> 0:56:17.560 get into a school with lower grades, lower SATs, and 0:56:17.600 --> 0:56:19.480 we all know what's going on, and people pretend, oh, 0:56:19.520 --> 0:56:21.680 we can't figure this out. No, we know what's going on. 0:56:22.040 --> 0:56:27.799 But that's not privilege, that's just fair. Huh. It's a 0:56:27.920 --> 0:56:30.680 very convenient way of describing a process by which some 0:56:30.760 --> 0:56:35.480 people are given privileges over others. But as I look 0:56:35.520 --> 0:56:38.520 at this situation, the department education which you have, are 0:56:38.680 --> 0:56:42.160 people who are demoted, you know. And this is a 0:56:42.520 --> 0:56:48.680 logical extension of this white privileged theory, meaning that if 0:56:48.719 --> 0:56:51.759 you think that some people should be advanced in order 0:56:51.800 --> 0:56:55.840 to balance out the white privilege that their peers enjoy. 0:56:56.160 --> 0:56:58.840 Then you should also probably you should also prepare yourself 0:56:58.880 --> 0:57:02.040 for the possibility that some people who enjoy white privilege 0:57:02.440 --> 0:57:06.680 must be pulled back, must suffer a bit, their careers 0:57:06.760 --> 0:57:09.080 must suffer. They must be paid less than they've been, 0:57:09.200 --> 0:57:12.800 They've become a customer getting paid. They must be removed 0:57:12.880 --> 0:57:15.360 from the prestigious position or the more advanced position that 0:57:15.400 --> 0:57:18.000 they have. I mean, because you gotta make room. You 0:57:18.080 --> 0:57:21.280 gotta make room for those without the white privilege. Well, 0:57:22.280 --> 0:57:28.560 in New York this is now being fought, and I'm hoping, 0:57:29.240 --> 0:57:32.280 although I'm very skeptical that this will be the case, 0:57:32.440 --> 0:57:36.640 I'm hoping that this will be a successful a successful case. 0:57:37.800 --> 0:57:46.000 You cannot have this. You cannot have a well functioning, honest, strong, 0:57:46.360 --> 0:57:51.560 espree to core organization that's going to demote people in 0:57:51.720 --> 0:57:56.000 order to play kate this theory of well, some people 0:57:56.040 --> 0:57:57.800 have had it easy because of their skin color, and 0:57:57.800 --> 0:57:59.520 other people have had it had it hard because of 0:57:59.600 --> 0:58:04.320 skin color. Okay, how much harder? What's enough? Why? You know, 0:58:04.520 --> 0:58:08.560 if they really believe this, meaning, if the left is 0:58:09.520 --> 0:58:12.800 on board with this thinking, why not make why not 0:58:12.840 --> 0:58:14.400 say that everyone at a heart you know that Harvard 0:58:14.400 --> 0:58:17.720 needs to just go non white, No more white students 0:58:17.720 --> 0:58:19.160 at Harvard. You got to balance it out. There's been 0:58:19.200 --> 0:58:21.360 so much oppression, it's been so racist for so long. 0:58:22.200 --> 0:58:24.040 People would laugh and say, oh, Buck, that's such a 0:58:24.120 --> 0:58:27.320 dumb idea. Okay, but why is it a dumb idea? 0:58:27.440 --> 0:58:29.520 Why shouldn't there be more drama. Why shouldn't we have 0:58:29.520 --> 0:58:32.400 these more dramatic gestures, you know, why shouldn't we do 0:58:32.480 --> 0:58:39.080 things that incur obvious costs to individuals who have quote 0:58:39.120 --> 0:58:41.280 white privilege. I mean I reject. I think white privilege 0:58:41.320 --> 0:58:43.600 is not a thing. I do not think it is. 0:58:43.640 --> 0:58:47.160 It is a real it is a real concept worthy 0:58:47.200 --> 0:58:52.320 of certainly any government action, because what is it really 0:58:52.320 --> 0:58:54.680 saying that when you have a majority, Well, a majority 0:58:54.720 --> 0:58:57.040 in any culture is going to be treated in some 0:58:57.120 --> 0:59:01.360 capacity like the majority. But you can't mandate through law 0:59:01.760 --> 0:59:06.440 a change in that cultural reality. And you certainly shouldn't 0:59:06.480 --> 0:59:11.600 mandate through law changes in hiring, in college, you know, 0:59:11.600 --> 0:59:15.040 college admissions and all these things, because there's some amorphous 0:59:15.640 --> 0:59:20.440 there's some amorphous notion of this is more fair the 0:59:20.600 --> 0:59:24.600 government acting in ways that is that is unconstitutional, that 0:59:24.760 --> 0:59:29.080 is unfair, that is violation of the Equal Protection Clause. 0:59:29.280 --> 0:59:31.000 That's not going to make things better. It's only going 0:59:31.040 --> 0:59:35.760 to make things worse. Teaching the whole generation coming up 0:59:35.760 --> 0:59:39.120 now through school that there is this thing called white privilege, 0:59:39.320 --> 0:59:41.600 and then not really ever addressing well, what would that 0:59:41.680 --> 0:59:43.640 mean if it were true? What are we supposed to 0:59:43.720 --> 0:59:47.520 do about that? Is just a recipe for a lot 0:59:47.560 --> 0:59:54.520 of victimology thinking and also opens the door to a 0:59:54.560 --> 0:59:57.440 lot of resentment. Let's be honest resentment on all sides. 0:59:57.480 --> 1:00:00.840 I mean, if you tell someone that that the individual 1:00:00.880 --> 1:00:05.280 sitting across from them has a lot of unearned a 1:00:05.320 --> 1:00:09.840 lot of unearned advantages, the persons sitting there, especially if 1:00:09.840 --> 1:00:11.480 they feel like they've had a they've had a tough 1:00:11.560 --> 1:00:14.720 go in life, is going to not think very highly 1:00:14.720 --> 1:00:17.000 of the individual with the unearned advantages. And at the 1:00:17.040 --> 1:00:19.240 person who is being told that he or she has 1:00:19.280 --> 1:00:21.840 these unearned advantages, looks across the table and says, well, 1:00:21.840 --> 1:00:25.240 hold on a second, you who does you? The person 1:00:25.240 --> 1:00:28.160 who does not enjoy white privilege in this situation, as 1:00:28.200 --> 1:00:31.840 a matter of law, have privileges that I do not have. 1:00:32.480 --> 1:00:38.360 Qualify for programs, qualify for admissions, but but I'm the 1:00:38.400 --> 1:00:44.680 one with privilege. Is this tears at the fabric of 1:00:44.960 --> 1:00:47.280 the social fabric of this country. And it really does 1:00:47.320 --> 1:00:50.080 also undermine the rule of law. You know, where are 1:00:50.080 --> 1:00:51.960 they're all equal in the odds of law or not. 1:00:52.000 --> 1:00:58.600 There is only one kind of still mandated legal racial 1:00:58.640 --> 1:01:03.320 discrimination that exists in this country, and it is punishing 1:01:03.400 --> 1:01:05.640 those who quote have white privilege. That is the only 1:01:05.720 --> 1:01:10.439 legitimate or rather legal discrimination that is still in the books. 1:01:10.480 --> 1:01:13.080 There's no other discrimination. Non white people do not get 1:01:13.080 --> 1:01:16.520 discriminated against, but white people because and you say, Buck, 1:01:16.760 --> 1:01:19.760 why do all these liberals, why do all these leftists 1:01:19.800 --> 1:01:22.360 who are many of whom the majority of whom are white, 1:01:22.800 --> 1:01:24.520 why do they go along with this? Oh? Because it 1:01:24.600 --> 1:01:28.440 is so useful for their power structure. They benefit from this. 1:01:28.480 --> 1:01:32.520 The identity politics that the left has embraced is a 1:01:32.560 --> 1:01:36.120 base of power and a base of votes. And it's 1:01:36.120 --> 1:01:42.280 a very simple proposition for any guilt guilt ridden white 1:01:42.280 --> 1:01:46.760 liberal to embrace, which is just become one. Become one 1:01:46.800 --> 1:01:49.560 of the people that says this stuff, believes this stuff, 1:01:49.600 --> 1:01:52.680 promotes this stuff, and you're not part of the problem anymore. 1:01:53.640 --> 1:01:57.520 You cleanse yourself of your white privilege sins by agreeing 1:01:57.560 --> 1:02:00.240 that white privilege needs to be confronted, and you have 1:02:00.280 --> 1:02:03.320 to do nothing beyond that. This is like from the 1:02:03.320 --> 1:02:05.040 al Gore school of just you know, make a lot 1:02:05.040 --> 1:02:07.800 of money by scaring a lot of people over climate change, 1:02:07.920 --> 1:02:10.200 don't make any changes to your own life about climate change. 1:02:10.200 --> 1:02:12.600 And you've done your part. And if you just go 1:02:12.680 --> 1:02:14.920 see the al Gore movie about climate change, you know, 1:02:15.000 --> 1:02:17.040 and say that you believe in climate change, you've done 1:02:17.040 --> 1:02:24.200 your part. It's cheap virtue the left so effectively in 1:02:25.080 --> 1:02:29.600 many ways, but it's a it's a recurring theme in 1:02:29.680 --> 1:02:33.280 all left wing politics in this country. It appeals to 1:02:33.520 --> 1:02:40.080 individual vanity. I'm such a good person. I'm such a thoughtful, 1:02:40.200 --> 1:02:42.640 care and considered person. So that's why I believe that 1:02:42.760 --> 1:02:46.440 taxes should be higher. Oh wow, that's but do you 1:02:46.440 --> 1:02:48.600 pay higher taxes? Do you send the government more money? 1:02:48.600 --> 1:02:49.960 Do you want to set an example? No? No No, no, no, 1:02:50.120 --> 1:02:54.000 of course not. You just support in the macro sense, 1:02:54.520 --> 1:02:59.320 in a theoretical way. You support, you know, taking dramatic 1:02:59.360 --> 1:03:01.440 action to back climate change. You're not going to take 1:03:01.480 --> 1:03:03.720 it yourself, but you support the idea of you know, 1:03:04.320 --> 1:03:07.200 do you confront white privilege? Well, you know a lot 1:03:07.240 --> 1:03:10.480 of rich Libs still belong to you know, private clubs 1:03:10.520 --> 1:03:12.800 that are not very interracially diverse. They send their kids 1:03:12.800 --> 1:03:15.040 to schools that are overwhelmingly white, they send their kids 1:03:15.040 --> 1:03:17.640 to universities that are overwhelmingly white. But but but they 1:03:17.680 --> 1:03:22.120 confront their white privilege. You see, they say that, and 1:03:22.160 --> 1:03:26.320 that's all they have to do. Must be nice to 1:03:26.360 --> 1:03:29.000 go through life such a self satisfied fraud. How will 1:03:29.040 --> 1:03:32.640 you protect Row v. Wade. We need a federal law 1:03:32.840 --> 1:03:36.640 to take every principle that's in the Supreme Court decision 1:03:36.920 --> 1:03:39.400 and just make it federal law. Let's give women all 1:03:39.440 --> 1:03:44.920 across this country preaching the wealth gap between white families 1:03:44.920 --> 1:03:49.640 and black families, reparations or not. So I support the 1:03:49.720 --> 1:03:53.640 reparations bill that's in the House to start a commission. 1:03:53.760 --> 1:03:56.120 So we kept to look at all of the options 1:03:56.320 --> 1:04:03.160 fifteen billion dollars put into the historically black colleges and university. 1:04:06.080 --> 1:04:10.360 Speaking of frauds, racial frauds in particular, Elizabeth Warren comes 1:04:10.400 --> 1:04:14.160 to mind folk haunts herself, and I'm so I'm so 1:04:14.480 --> 1:04:18.919 happy that the President does not back down, say, oh, Pokahonas, 1:04:18.920 --> 1:04:21.520 it's racist. No, it's not racist's making fun of it's 1:04:21.560 --> 1:04:24.880 not making fun of Pokehonas I do prefer sometimes the 1:04:24.920 --> 1:04:27.160 folk hauntess to play on words, but we can call 1:04:27.200 --> 1:04:32.320 our pocahonas too. Two issues here that she tackles. Let's 1:04:32.320 --> 1:04:36.720 start first with the the reparation. The reparations component of this. 1:04:39.040 --> 1:04:42.920 Nobody really believes I think, I mean, I could be 1:04:42.960 --> 1:04:47.240 wrong here. No one who knows anything about how government 1:04:47.280 --> 1:04:50.040 programs work and the history of any of any effort 1:04:50.080 --> 1:04:52.560 like this in this country. No one really thinks that 1:04:52.560 --> 1:04:54.920 that will change it. Again, the fifty billion dollars to 1:04:55.040 --> 1:04:59.320 historically black colleges, what's that going to do? Is the 1:04:59.560 --> 1:05:01.960 is the are the historically black colleges right now? Do 1:05:02.000 --> 1:05:05.560 they not have large enough endowments for good professors and 1:05:05.560 --> 1:05:07.440 good text with the answers? No. By the way, historically 1:05:07.480 --> 1:05:12.520 black colleges have a particularly high graduation rate for African 1:05:12.520 --> 1:05:17.520 American students for four years and also in life, African 1:05:17.560 --> 1:05:21.360 American students from historically black colleges do very well relative 1:05:21.440 --> 1:05:25.240 to similarly situated colleges and universities in terms of earning 1:05:25.280 --> 1:05:30.560 power and career potential. And what do you know, there's 1:05:30.640 --> 1:05:35.959 there's no issue of affirmative action, right so this we've 1:05:35.960 --> 1:05:39.880 seen this experiment play out the university California system where 1:05:39.680 --> 1:05:42.480 they got rid of racial preferences in schools, and all 1:05:42.480 --> 1:05:45.480 it meant was that there were fewer black and Latino 1:05:45.520 --> 1:05:47.680 students at the very very very elite schools. But the 1:05:47.720 --> 1:05:50.400 graduation rate at some of the more middle tier but 1:05:50.480 --> 1:05:54.600 still very good California schools went up because you can't 1:05:54.640 --> 1:05:56.920 just force people into a program they're not prepared for. 1:05:58.160 --> 1:06:01.000 So there was a greater match of sALS in preparation, 1:06:01.240 --> 1:06:05.440 which meant greater success in getting through four years of college, 1:06:05.560 --> 1:06:07.360 which you'd think is a good thing. But no, the libs, 1:06:07.360 --> 1:06:09.479 they like the band aid approach. They like that let's 1:06:09.480 --> 1:06:12.480 just give people the fancy degree that they didn't really 1:06:12.480 --> 1:06:15.840 earn on their academic merits. But you know, white privilege 1:06:15.880 --> 1:06:18.520 needs to be confronted. Don't even get me started with 1:06:18.600 --> 1:06:22.840 Asian privilege. Is their Asian privilege? Who knows it's worse 1:06:22.920 --> 1:06:25.160 to be Asian applying to elite schools, especially a place 1:06:25.200 --> 1:06:27.360 like well, now they got rid of racial preferences, but 1:06:28.640 --> 1:06:31.120 some of these, you know, schools like Stanford, some of 1:06:31.120 --> 1:06:34.440 these very elite universities, you do not want to be. 1:06:35.600 --> 1:06:37.320 You do not want to be an Asian American that's 1:06:37.360 --> 1:06:39.680 the worst category. That's the worst category to be in. 1:06:41.160 --> 1:06:45.520 And then just so this reparations, this is just Elizaeth 1:06:45.560 --> 1:06:49.320 Warren trying to build a greater enthusiasm in the minority community. 1:06:49.360 --> 1:06:52.360 First off, isn't that this bill is going nowhere. No 1:06:52.400 --> 1:06:54.400 one's even clear on what should happen or what it 1:06:54.400 --> 1:06:57.720 should do. And ultimately, you know, the government's money is 1:06:57.760 --> 1:07:00.840 your money. So whenever they decide, whenever the Left is saying, well, 1:07:00.840 --> 1:07:02.920 we're just going to redistribute a bunch of money to people, 1:07:03.080 --> 1:07:07.680 that's coming from the American people, that's money appropriated from taxpayers, 1:07:07.720 --> 1:07:09.920 taken from you by force, and then given to people 1:07:10.080 --> 1:07:14.440 to do other things with. And that's how we should 1:07:14.440 --> 1:07:17.320 do that. Oh, then our federal law that's going to 1:07:17.920 --> 1:07:22.000 reinforce Roe v. Wade. That is never going to happen. 1:07:22.320 --> 1:07:24.680 And she knows that's never gonna happen unless they try 1:07:24.720 --> 1:07:28.560 to pull an Obamacare maneuver where by the slimmest majority 1:07:28.600 --> 1:07:32.160 when they have a supermajority, they just forced the other 1:07:32.200 --> 1:07:37.560 side to to just just stomach whatever it is that 1:07:37.560 --> 1:07:41.160 they want to jam down our throats. Um maybe they 1:07:41.240 --> 1:07:42.960 maybe that'd go that direction. But this is this is 1:07:43.040 --> 1:07:45.680 unserious stuff from Luzeth Warren. But she's an unserious candidate 1:07:45.720 --> 1:07:49.200 at this point. In my mind, she's shown us who 1:07:49.200 --> 1:07:52.320 she really is, and I think that she's uh, it's 1:07:52.600 --> 1:07:54.760 it's always it's always been about her. I think her 1:07:54.800 --> 1:07:59.720 ego is apparent with these little crusades she goes. You know, 1:08:00.200 --> 1:08:01.800 her husband. They're making close to a million dollars a 1:08:01.880 --> 1:08:03.439 year between the two of them, but she's all about 1:08:03.480 --> 1:08:06.720 class warfare. Come on, give me a break. She's not 1:08:06.800 --> 1:08:09.520 running around doing community organizing for thirty thousand dollars a 1:08:09.600 --> 1:08:11.959 year on the South side of Chicago, right. She's gone 1:08:12.000 --> 1:08:15.439 to a lead institutions, gotten paid very well, and now 1:08:15.440 --> 1:08:17.160 she wants to tell everybody else about how they need 1:08:17.200 --> 1:08:19.559 to pay higher taxes and let her determine what they 1:08:19.560 --> 1:08:22.599 can do with their money. I don't think so, e Dubbs. 1:08:22.640 --> 1:08:26.439 I think E Warren is toast in this primary. Say 1:08:26.520 --> 1:08:29.880 retweeted a misleadingly edited video of Nancy Pelosi, edited to 1:08:29.960 --> 1:08:35.360 highlighting exaggerated stuttering. Another fake video is also circling circulating online. 1:08:35.520 --> 1:08:39.240 It's been slowed down to make Pelosi per incoherent ill, 1:08:39.360 --> 1:08:43.200 perhaps drunk. The video is fake. It's manipulated. Numerous audio 1:08:43.200 --> 1:08:46.120 and video experts and fact checking organizations have confirmed that, 1:08:46.600 --> 1:08:48.719 But that video in particular has been viewed by millions 1:08:48.720 --> 1:08:51.080 of people on Facebook, and in fact, it's still up 1:08:51.160 --> 1:08:55.000 on Facebook, even though Facebook knows it's fake. They've added 1:08:55.000 --> 1:08:58.519 comments from independent fact checkers to inform people who watch 1:08:58.560 --> 1:09:01.040 it and have made it less cominent, but it is 1:09:01.080 --> 1:09:03.880 still up there, and YouTube took it down, but it's 1:09:03.880 --> 1:09:06.240 still up on Twitter. They're not even commenting about it. 1:09:07.920 --> 1:09:13.280 The CDN commentariat no longer even really pretends to be 1:09:13.360 --> 1:09:17.439 about the First Amendment. I mean, they view themselves as 1:09:17.439 --> 1:09:24.040 a kind of priesthood of truth, the journalism clergy, if 1:09:24.080 --> 1:09:25.880 you will, though a lot of them would reject the 1:09:25.880 --> 1:09:28.280 notion of being in any kind of religious organization. But 1:09:28.600 --> 1:09:31.360 they think of themselves as a cast, as an elite 1:09:32.720 --> 1:09:36.680 ordained to bring us the information we need to be 1:09:36.680 --> 1:09:44.599 informed citizens. And beyond that, our opinions, our little gripes 1:09:44.640 --> 1:09:47.040 with how they present things, that's all irrelevant to them. 1:09:49.080 --> 1:09:51.599 The video in questionnaire has to do with Nancy Pelosi, 1:09:52.320 --> 1:09:54.479 and it all comes from the same press conference, and 1:09:54.600 --> 1:09:56.880 I haven't I can't say that I've seen all of 1:09:56.880 --> 1:09:59.639 the videos. But in one case, I saw a video 1:09:59.680 --> 1:10:01.599 that was not slowed down. It was not. I mean 1:10:01.720 --> 1:10:04.200 when they say things like edited, and they did this 1:10:04.560 --> 1:10:07.439 with the Center for Medical Progress, they kept saying heavily edited, 1:10:07.479 --> 1:10:09.920 heavily edited. Yeah, because they took twelve hours or whatever 1:10:09.920 --> 1:10:11.600 it was. I forget how many hours. Don't quote me 1:10:11.600 --> 1:10:13.479 on that, but you know, hours and hours of undercover 1:10:13.600 --> 1:10:16.040 video and edited it down so they actually had something 1:10:16.040 --> 1:10:17.960 that people could watch and see and know what's going on. 1:10:18.600 --> 1:10:21.360 All news broadcasts that you see are in some way 1:10:21.439 --> 1:10:24.240 or another edited. They've got commercial breaks, they run pre 1:10:24.439 --> 1:10:28.800 roll packages that every piece of writing you see goes 1:10:28.880 --> 1:10:32.439 through an editor to edit. Something is not, in and 1:10:32.479 --> 1:10:35.920 of itself any admission of dishonesty. But notice how they 1:10:35.960 --> 1:10:40.400 do that. Oh it's been edited. Edited video of Nancy Pelosi. 1:10:41.920 --> 1:10:43.680 Edited video of Nancy Pelosi. I mean, she looks like 1:10:43.680 --> 1:10:46.519 a clown at any speed. The thing she says we 1:10:46.600 --> 1:10:49.439 don't have about dishonest and dumb. The things that she 1:10:49.520 --> 1:10:53.400 says are an embarrassment no matter what you do with 1:10:53.520 --> 1:10:58.840 the editing process. But here you have a prominent, wildly overpaid, 1:10:58.960 --> 1:11:02.519 famous for reasons that are beyond my comprehension journalist and 1:11:02.520 --> 1:11:07.640 Anderson Cooper who is saying that Facebook should take it 1:11:07.720 --> 1:11:13.720 upon itself to police truth, and he skips right over 1:11:13.760 --> 1:11:17.360 the fact that this is well within the boundaries of 1:11:17.360 --> 1:11:21.479 what you could consider satire. And just because you taken 1:11:21.520 --> 1:11:24.400 you an edited videw should we ban everything The Daily Show? Ever? 1:11:24.439 --> 1:11:28.040 Did libs love The Daily Show? You know? The Daily 1:11:28.040 --> 1:11:30.760 Show used to do sit down with people and interview them, 1:11:30.760 --> 1:11:32.320 and they thought they're in a normal interview, but then 1:11:32.320 --> 1:11:36.080 they would add in questions that weren't asked during the interview, 1:11:36.240 --> 1:11:38.840 cut things, and the whole point was to make a 1:11:38.880 --> 1:11:40.479 mockery of and make the person, if they were a 1:11:40.520 --> 1:11:45.439 conservative in particular, look stupid, all post edited, all out 1:11:45.439 --> 1:11:48.080 of context, and the whole thing. They thought that was hilarious. 1:11:48.760 --> 1:11:51.439 Now they might say, well, buck, that's satire, that's comedy, Okay, 1:11:52.000 --> 1:11:56.240 this Pelosi thing is satire. Comedy. They think Facebook should 1:11:56.320 --> 1:12:00.120 take it down? Why should Facebook take it down? Not 1:12:00.200 --> 1:12:04.120 threatening anyone, it's not breaking any laws. But this is 1:12:04.160 --> 1:12:05.920 a window and this is a journalist, This is somebody 1:12:05.960 --> 1:12:09.040 who makes a living in the trafficking of information. Well 1:12:09.040 --> 1:12:12.040 because at CNN, the trafficking of fake news. But this 1:12:12.120 --> 1:12:17.280 is what they do they have. They have no defense 1:12:17.320 --> 1:12:19.800 whatsoever of the First Amendment comes to mind for these people, 1:12:20.520 --> 1:12:24.439 these these uh pampered multi millionaires, not just at CNN, 1:12:24.439 --> 1:12:27.519 it's some of these other places too. But they all 1:12:27.560 --> 1:12:29.360 they care about is that the ideas they don't like 1:12:29.439 --> 1:12:33.840 are suppressed. All they care about is that the other 1:12:33.880 --> 1:12:37.360 side loses, and they're a part of sticking it to them. 1:12:38.840 --> 1:12:42.200 That this would mean that Facebook is now responsible for 1:12:42.720 --> 1:12:47.439 deciding what is even just in good taste content. If 1:12:47.479 --> 1:12:50.599 Facebook is left with deciding what's in good taste, I mean, 1:12:50.640 --> 1:12:53.960 I would just say that they should probably ban CNN altogether, 1:12:54.000 --> 1:12:57.800 because CNN is a joke. As I've been telling you, 1:12:57.880 --> 1:13:01.559 CNN International is an embarrassment. It's an embarrassment to this country. 1:13:02.320 --> 1:13:05.559 It is anti American propaganda that is being blasted all 1:13:05.600 --> 1:13:08.160 over the world, and the people who are a part 1:13:08.200 --> 1:13:10.200 of it, and those who work for it should be ashamed. 1:13:10.760 --> 1:13:14.600 Of course they're not, but they should be. But no 1:13:14.640 --> 1:13:17.480 one's saying, oh, Facebook needs to takedown seeing an international 1:13:17.560 --> 1:13:22.400 Facebook needs to because this where does that end? And 1:13:22.520 --> 1:13:25.200 they're so upset about you know, they're so upset about 1:13:25.240 --> 1:13:27.920 Nancy Pelosi looking so foolish and dumb because Nancy Pelosi 1:13:28.000 --> 1:13:29.680 is getting old and she's missing a step or two. 1:13:29.720 --> 1:13:32.599 And she did stutter a lot in that press conference. 1:13:32.600 --> 1:13:37.360 I saw it. She did have a you know, doesn't 1:13:37.400 --> 1:13:42.439 seem that shark. And this the people who say, well, 1:13:43.000 --> 1:13:45.000 but you know, you can't say that about her, or 1:13:45.040 --> 1:13:47.599 you're not a psychiatrist or you're not a medical doctor. Yeah. 1:13:47.640 --> 1:13:49.479 I hear about how Trump is going to be removed 1:13:49.520 --> 1:13:52.000 by the twenty fifth MM and all the time from 1:13:52.040 --> 1:13:55.120 people that now say that Nancy Pelosi's you know that 1:13:55.120 --> 1:13:59.160 that's beyond the pale. Remember when Hillary just passed out 1:13:59.200 --> 1:14:02.360 and flopped in the back of a van and people 1:14:02.400 --> 1:14:04.800 try to cover it up during the election, and then 1:14:04.840 --> 1:14:06.960 we were told, oh, that's terrible and you can admit, 1:14:07.280 --> 1:14:10.160 Oh okay, But but Trump is crazy, they say, is 1:14:10.200 --> 1:14:19.240 actually crazy. These people have absolutely no ethics whatsoever, no decency, 1:14:19.320 --> 1:14:23.679 no honor. Speaking of no decency or honor, Hillary also 1:14:23.800 --> 1:14:27.519 jumped in on this bandwagon, slamming Facebook, saying that they 1:14:27.560 --> 1:14:30.759 should have removed this place seventeen. The big social media 1:14:30.840 --> 1:14:35.040 platforms know their systems are being manipulated by foreign and 1:14:35.200 --> 1:14:40.520 domestic actors to sew division, promote extremism and spread misinformation, 1:14:41.000 --> 1:14:44.920 But they won't get serious about cleaning up their platforms 1:14:45.040 --> 1:14:49.120 unless consumers demanded. And we saw why it's so important 1:14:49.200 --> 1:14:53.040 just last week when Facebook refused to take down a 1:14:53.120 --> 1:14:57.320 fake video of Nancy Pelosi. It wasn't even a close call. 1:14:57.439 --> 1:15:01.639 The video is sexist trash, and YouTube took it down, 1:15:01.760 --> 1:15:08.200 but Facebook kept it up sexist trash, so it should 1:15:08.240 --> 1:15:11.800 be taken down. Who's going to make those determinations about 1:15:11.800 --> 1:15:16.200 what constitutes sexist trash. Who's going to make the determination 1:15:16.280 --> 1:15:19.720 about what is just mean spirited and shouldn't be out 1:15:19.720 --> 1:15:24.559 there in the marketplace of ideas. The left likes to 1:15:24.800 --> 1:15:29.759 censor because the left must control. They do not trust 1:15:30.280 --> 1:15:33.000 individual agency and human freedom. They do not trust it. 1:15:33.040 --> 1:15:36.000 They think there must be a governing body that determines 1:15:36.080 --> 1:15:40.479 everything about what you can do, about what freedoms you have, 1:15:40.760 --> 1:15:42.599 what you can think, what you can say. They want 1:15:42.600 --> 1:15:45.439 control of all of it. They want maximum control, whatever 1:15:45.479 --> 1:15:49.000 that means. I prefer to live in a world and 1:15:49.080 --> 1:15:52.799 in a country where people get to make decisions about 1:15:52.880 --> 1:15:57.519 themselves to the maximum extent possible. I take the opposite 1:15:57.520 --> 1:16:01.519 point of view, but slant Facebook because they won't remove 1:16:01.560 --> 1:16:05.719 an embarrassing video of Nancy Pelosi. What guideline did it violate? 1:16:05.760 --> 1:16:09.040 She says, it's obviously fake because they slowed it down 1:16:09.040 --> 1:16:14.200 a little bit. It's it's obviously fake. It's not fake. 1:16:14.240 --> 1:16:16.800 It's a real video of Nancy Pelosi. And even if 1:16:16.800 --> 1:16:20.280 it were fake, you know, if they were to photoshop 1:16:20.280 --> 1:16:26.320 and image of you know, a chicken over Nancy Pelosi's face, 1:16:27.120 --> 1:16:30.240 is that something that needs to be taken down? The 1:16:30.360 --> 1:16:33.400 left says yes, you know why, because they can't stand mockery. 1:16:33.520 --> 1:16:37.679 They can't stand it. He really gets to them because 1:16:37.720 --> 1:16:40.679 they're so used to having cultural dominance. At anytime, a Democrat, 1:16:40.720 --> 1:16:44.280 a Leftist really feels like they're the butt of a joke. 1:16:44.760 --> 1:16:46.720 We realize they have no sense of humor either. They 1:16:46.720 --> 1:16:48.360 think they're the funny ones, but they actually don't have 1:16:48.400 --> 1:16:51.439 any sense of humor about themselves. Well, I think if 1:16:51.439 --> 1:16:54.720 it becomes law, it'll be very difficult producer, or rather 1:16:54.760 --> 1:16:57.280 doubt we will. Many people who work for us will 1:16:57.320 --> 1:17:00.960 not want to work there, and we'll have to heed 1:17:01.000 --> 1:17:04.240 their wishes in that regard. Right now, we're watching it 1:17:04.360 --> 1:17:07.439 very carefully. I think it's also likely to be challenged 1:17:07.439 --> 1:17:09.439 in the courts and that could delay it, and we're 1:17:10.360 --> 1:17:14.280 being careful and cautious about it. But if it becomes law, 1:17:14.760 --> 1:17:17.759 I don't see how it's practical for us to continue 1:17:17.800 --> 1:17:23.519 to shoot there. Disney CEO Bob iger on An on 1:17:23.560 --> 1:17:27.479 the abortion bill there in Georgia. This is just something 1:17:27.479 --> 1:17:30.639 that we've become accustomed to as conservatives that I don't 1:17:30.640 --> 1:17:33.280 think we should have to be accustomed to anymore. I 1:17:33.439 --> 1:17:38.160 am sick of all of us just assuming, oh, corporate 1:17:38.160 --> 1:17:41.880 America is going to lash out at the right and 1:17:42.120 --> 1:17:45.600 never lash out at the left. I mean, Disney is 1:17:45.600 --> 1:17:50.240 supposed to be a great American company. It's a huge company, 1:17:50.280 --> 1:17:52.800 controls a tremendous amount of contents, bought up all kinds 1:17:52.840 --> 1:17:55.880 of stuff recently, I know. But if it's a great 1:17:55.920 --> 1:18:01.080 American company, shouldn't it represent the American people and their wishes, 1:18:01.360 --> 1:18:04.000 or at least shouldn't it be respectful of the American 1:18:04.040 --> 1:18:07.040 people in their wishes? Not half of the American people. 1:18:07.880 --> 1:18:11.160 And when you're talking about some of these abortion extremists, 1:18:11.200 --> 1:18:14.400 it's much much much less than half. You know, the 1:18:14.400 --> 1:18:19.040 the true left, I mean, the the planned parenthood version 1:18:19.080 --> 1:18:20.479 of what the law should be when it comes to 1:18:20.520 --> 1:18:24.080 abortion is supported really by only about fifteen to twenty 1:18:24.080 --> 1:18:27.439 percent of the country. It's the hard left view of things. 1:18:27.960 --> 1:18:34.000 It is the ideologically rigid progressive approach, and and it's 1:18:34.120 --> 1:18:39.600 very doctrinaire. It's very based in a leftist orthodoxy. But 1:18:39.720 --> 1:18:43.880 why is it just the assumption that Bob Eiger is 1:18:43.920 --> 1:18:46.800 going to threaten the state of Georgia for doing what 1:18:46.840 --> 1:18:49.320 it's completely within its rights to do, passing a state law, 1:18:49.880 --> 1:18:51.800 and say that they're going to take business away. So 1:18:51.800 --> 1:18:54.160 they're going to punish people that are going to work 1:18:54.200 --> 1:18:59.160 on different sets and you know, as cameramen and craftsmen 1:18:59.240 --> 1:19:01.320 and key grip and all these things that you do 1:19:01.360 --> 1:19:03.920 at these at these film places. I can't even think 1:19:03.960 --> 1:19:07.120 of all the jobs you're going to punish them because 1:19:07.400 --> 1:19:10.760 you have a bunch of progressive ideologues, not just in 1:19:10.760 --> 1:19:13.519 your audience, but clearly in the company. You know. That's 1:19:13.520 --> 1:19:16.280 where this that's where the rubber really meets the road 1:19:16.320 --> 1:19:19.280 on all of this, is that the c suite at 1:19:19.400 --> 1:19:24.720 so many major corporations is full of people who are 1:19:25.240 --> 1:19:31.200 left wing ideologues and they don't have any problem inflicting 1:19:31.280 --> 1:19:35.360 their beliefs on other people and punishing people who don't 1:19:35.360 --> 1:19:38.240 agree with them. And I mean I remember, for example, 1:19:39.680 --> 1:19:42.640 being told, look, I'll even tell you where it was. 1:19:42.680 --> 1:19:44.160 It was at CNN. I remember being told by a 1:19:44.200 --> 1:19:47.800 CNN executive who was involved in the hiring of people 1:19:47.840 --> 1:19:52.439 at CNN that he would would not only oppose, but 1:19:52.479 --> 1:19:54.479 do everything in his power to sync the chances of 1:19:54.520 --> 1:19:56.559 anyone who was going to work at CNN on air 1:19:56.960 --> 1:20:01.360 who was not in favor of gay rite. Now, whatever 1:20:01.400 --> 1:20:03.840 you think about gay marriage and all the rest of it, 1:20:04.479 --> 1:20:06.439 just think about that for a moment, though you And 1:20:06.680 --> 1:20:09.640 that was years ago. That was before um what was 1:20:09.680 --> 1:20:13.800 it before? And it was right after oberg fell the 1:20:13.880 --> 1:20:17.960 decision screen court decision. But he's like, if you you cannot, 1:20:17.960 --> 1:20:19.640 this guy was like, you will not be able to 1:20:19.720 --> 1:20:22.120 work there. He will do everything he can to stop you. 1:20:22.960 --> 1:20:27.160 They went after Brendon Ike from Mozilla for his previous 1:20:27.200 --> 1:20:31.120 support Years ago, Brandon Ike of Mozilla, the CEO and 1:20:31.160 --> 1:20:35.200 founder of Mozilla, was chased out of his corporate position 1:20:35.680 --> 1:20:38.640 by other people at his company and by the media 1:20:38.840 --> 1:20:43.080 because he was supporting in California traditional marriage the same 1:20:43.120 --> 1:20:46.519 at the exact same time that Barack Obama was running 1:20:46.560 --> 1:20:49.439 as a traditional marriage candidate. But the left always makes 1:20:49.439 --> 1:20:52.040 exceptions for people on their side who are doing the 1:20:52.040 --> 1:20:54.960 head fake, or who are a trojan horse, or who 1:20:55.479 --> 1:20:57.639 who abandoned the position. As soon as they're in power, 1:20:57.640 --> 1:20:59.800 they're okay with that. In fact, they like that, They 1:21:00.160 --> 1:21:08.320 courage that, that kind of dissembling, that kind of intellectual dishonesty. 1:21:08.840 --> 1:21:10.680 You know, I'm gonna say this until I get into power, 1:21:10.760 --> 1:21:13.760 they're gonna do something else. But we have to, we 1:21:13.840 --> 1:21:16.160 have to fight back against this. This should not be 1:21:16.200 --> 1:21:19.759 something what Bob Eiger is saying here is that Disney 1:21:19.800 --> 1:21:24.120 takes a political position as a company against conservatives, and 1:21:24.240 --> 1:21:27.439 this should not be okay. This should not be something 1:21:27.439 --> 1:21:32.720 that goes without pushback and without organized dare I say, resistance. 1:21:33.400 --> 1:21:36.479 This is also just culturally on the left. They they're 1:21:36.720 --> 1:21:41.360 very comfortable doing this. They're very comfortable making examples of 1:21:41.400 --> 1:21:43.680 people for political reasons that have nothing to do with 1:21:43.720 --> 1:21:47.080 the company's business, that have nothing to do with you know, 1:21:47.400 --> 1:21:49.240 whether or not someone is going to be a good 1:21:49.280 --> 1:21:52.960 customer of theirs, just like the left will boycott. It 1:21:53.120 --> 1:21:57.280 is known. It is known throughout the media industry that 1:21:58.040 --> 1:22:02.000 leftists can say all kinds of crazy stuff and they'll 1:22:02.040 --> 1:22:08.560 still get blue chip, very uh you know, very wealthy sponsors. 1:22:09.200 --> 1:22:14.320 They'll they'll get the Coke, Mercedes, McDonald's, etc. But on 1:22:14.360 --> 1:22:17.120 the right, oh, you're all you're always put on notice. 1:22:17.160 --> 1:22:19.120 You know, if you if you step out of line, 1:22:19.120 --> 1:22:21.479 if you say something that's a little too conservative, if 1:22:21.520 --> 1:22:24.840 you you know, if you if you don't dance to 1:22:24.920 --> 1:22:27.920 the tune that the leftists tell you too, you may 1:22:27.960 --> 1:22:30.080 find yourself getting all your sponsors pulled. In fact, you 1:22:30.160 --> 1:22:34.600 might find yourself getting your bank account uh pulled. You know, 1:22:34.600 --> 1:22:36.280 they may say, sorry, you know, we're gonna give you 1:22:36.280 --> 1:22:38.519 your money back or whatever, but you can't do use 1:22:38.520 --> 1:22:43.040 our banking services. They obviously will go after people for 1:22:43.120 --> 1:22:46.559 the platform, for the platforms they use as well. They 1:22:46.560 --> 1:22:50.120 want they want they want speech police for the left, 1:22:50.400 --> 1:22:53.760 or the left wants to be the speech police on Facebook, 1:22:53.800 --> 1:22:56.920 on YouTube, on Twitter. They know how powerful these things are. 1:22:56.920 --> 1:22:58.800 For those of you that say, oh buck those platforms, 1:22:59.479 --> 1:23:02.880 isn't it over blown? No, the future generations, the cable 1:23:02.920 --> 1:23:06.800 news environment is going to go away as we know it. 1:23:07.240 --> 1:23:09.559 They'll still be shows and I mean maybe the networks 1:23:09.560 --> 1:23:11.759 will still exist, but you're gonna be watching it digitally. 1:23:12.120 --> 1:23:16.280 You're gonna be watching an ala carte, and increasingly the 1:23:16.560 --> 1:23:19.280 major social platforms are going to be determining. They already 1:23:19.320 --> 1:23:22.160 are largely determining the news cycle, but they're going to 1:23:22.200 --> 1:23:27.200 be almost entirely deciding what people see as tremendous power 1:23:27.240 --> 1:23:29.040 in it. And the left wants to use that power 1:23:29.560 --> 1:23:31.559 to censor. They want to use that power to push 1:23:31.640 --> 1:23:34.760 ideas that they not only think are correct, but those 1:23:34.800 --> 1:23:38.080 who don't hold those ideas aren't worth listening to. They 1:23:38.080 --> 1:23:42.000 are to be silenced, they are to be silenced. And 1:23:42.960 --> 1:23:48.840 it's it's a constant frustration for me that we just, 1:23:49.280 --> 1:23:52.120 you know, in half the country roughly speaking as Republican 1:23:52.200 --> 1:23:56.400 or conservative, and we don't We don't try to even 1:23:56.400 --> 1:23:58.160 the score. We don't try to hold them to account. 1:23:58.160 --> 1:24:00.439 We let them get away with this crowd, with this 1:24:00.560 --> 1:24:06.920 nonsense of politicizing corporate America, politicizing sports. It's always a 1:24:06.960 --> 1:24:09.479 one way street. We just take it, We take the abuse. 1:24:10.640 --> 1:24:12.960 I don't know what it will require for us to 1:24:12.960 --> 1:24:15.880 decide that enough is enough. You know, maybe we do 1:24:15.960 --> 1:24:18.280 have to fight fire with fire. Maybe some really painful 1:24:18.320 --> 1:24:20.479 boycotts of some companies is the only way to get 1:24:20.479 --> 1:24:23.760 them to stop this stuff. I mean, you want to 1:24:23.800 --> 1:24:26.280 know how biased they are about things like abortion. I mean, 1:24:26.439 --> 1:24:31.679 the media is the praetorian guard of abortion for nine 1:24:31.720 --> 1:24:34.439 months of a pregnancy and even after the pregnancy, on 1:24:34.520 --> 1:24:37.760 demand for any reason or no reason. The media is 1:24:38.240 --> 1:24:41.400 you know, boomers in the media, who unfortunately control the 1:24:41.439 --> 1:24:45.280 news media. The boomer generation of liberals in the media 1:24:45.640 --> 1:24:52.120 are the abortion radicals more so than any other generation. 1:24:52.320 --> 1:24:56.040 And these boomer abortion radicals do not want, especially in 1:24:56.080 --> 1:25:00.720 the waning years of their careers, to have a country that, 1:25:01.320 --> 1:25:03.879 by its actions and by the laws that it passes 1:25:03.920 --> 1:25:08.720 and by the polls that are taken, repudiates abortion as 1:25:08.760 --> 1:25:11.759 a women's rights issue and treats it as a life issue. 1:25:12.840 --> 1:25:16.479 And that's how you have someone like, for example, Alison Cama, 1:25:16.760 --> 1:25:22.400 Allison Camarada over at CNN, who makes a look just 1:25:22.640 --> 1:25:24.519 a little slip here, a little slip, but it tells 1:25:24.520 --> 1:25:28.640 you a lot, doesn't it play eighteen issue. Lots of 1:25:28.680 --> 1:25:31.479 families do have to make that decision based on the 1:25:31.560 --> 1:25:34.639 single characteristic of finding out that their children that their 1:25:34.680 --> 1:25:39.759 fetus has a severe abnormality. Oh oh gosh, I said, children, 1:25:39.800 --> 1:25:43.000 I'm in fetus. Now she had it right the first time. 1:25:44.160 --> 1:25:48.479 Fetus is a child. That's what it is. Fetus is 1:25:48.520 --> 1:25:51.679 a child. But they know they have to control the language. 1:25:51.680 --> 1:25:53.840 They know they have to use words that obscure what's 1:25:53.840 --> 1:25:59.519 really happening. They cannot discuss openly, clearly, honestly what these 1:25:59.560 --> 1:26:05.440 abortion procedures involve. And they know that they're they're paymasters, 1:26:05.439 --> 1:26:07.960 I mean, the people that determine who in the mainstream 1:26:07.960 --> 1:26:09.720 media is going to get these big fat paychecks and 1:26:09.760 --> 1:26:12.599 be important and be famous. They're all pro they're all 1:26:12.600 --> 1:26:15.599 pro choice. They're all pro choice, a whole lot of them. 1:26:16.160 --> 1:26:18.960 So that's why Camarada, how to catch yourself there right away. 1:26:19.720 --> 1:26:22.799 But it's time. It's time we fight back, my friends. 1:26:23.520 --> 1:26:25.680 We don't sit around and just let them abuse us 1:26:25.680 --> 1:26:28.040 for our beliefs anymore, because that's what they're gonna keep 1:26:28.040 --> 1:26:30.599 doing unless we put a stop to it. I guess 1:26:30.600 --> 1:26:33.719 because it's summertime and I'm gonna be spending more time outside. 1:26:33.760 --> 1:26:38.400 I've been a little more uh what's the word consistent 1:26:38.520 --> 1:26:40.559 about trying to be active. You know, you do't wanna 1:26:40.600 --> 1:26:43.839 be that guy who's running around like, yeah, if my bellet, 1:26:45.200 --> 1:26:48.280 it's huge game, my bellet at the beach, you're want 1:26:48.280 --> 1:26:49.559 to be that or maybe you do want to be 1:26:49.600 --> 1:26:52.799 that guy. You'd probably make friends with all sorts of folks, 1:26:52.880 --> 1:26:56.520 you know, wants to rub the bellet for a good look. Glad, 1:26:58.000 --> 1:26:59.800 but trying to trying to get the belly shrinking a 1:26:59.800 --> 1:27:02.720 little bit. And so I've been working out more and 1:27:02.800 --> 1:27:05.679 doing more active things for the last well last couple 1:27:05.720 --> 1:27:08.320 of months, except for when I was traveling and I 1:27:08.320 --> 1:27:10.200 got to say one thing that that's really come to me. 1:27:10.280 --> 1:27:13.240 Maybe this is a function of getting old, but I 1:27:13.280 --> 1:27:18.240 feel like my I have to get myself used. Idea 1:27:18.280 --> 1:27:20.600 of just playing hurt so to speak, right, you know, 1:27:20.600 --> 1:27:22.400 when you're when you're playing sports. I used to play 1:27:23.080 --> 1:27:25.519 organized sports back in the day. That sounds like a 1:27:25.560 --> 1:27:28.280 nerdy way of saying it, but I played basketball and 1:27:28.320 --> 1:27:31.679 soccer and tennis pretty much anything without a helmet because 1:27:31.720 --> 1:27:34.000 my head. You laugh, but it's true. My head was 1:27:34.040 --> 1:27:37.080 too big for the helmets and they'd always try to 1:27:37.160 --> 1:27:38.880 jam my head into a helmet that was too small, 1:27:38.880 --> 1:27:40.479 and it gave me. If you've ever had that happen 1:27:40.560 --> 1:27:42.920 to give you a terrible headache, that's kind of like 1:27:42.960 --> 1:27:44.760 having a shoe on. That's way too tight, you your 1:27:44.760 --> 1:27:47.360 foot will cramp. You know, same thing with a helmet 1:27:47.360 --> 1:27:49.720 that's too tight, your head will just you'll get a 1:27:49.800 --> 1:27:53.320 really vicious headache from it. So I played non helmet sports, 1:27:53.600 --> 1:27:55.400 which a lot of you are like laughing at me 1:27:55.520 --> 1:27:57.160 right now, and you should. You should laugh at me. 1:27:57.479 --> 1:28:00.080 Buck's poofy hair prevented him from ever playing football or 1:28:00.160 --> 1:28:04.120 lacrosse or ice hockey. But you know, you have to 1:28:04.160 --> 1:28:07.880 play hurt, right Like I I my senior year, broke 1:28:08.040 --> 1:28:10.920 my fifth metatarsal bone in my foot, which is very common. 1:28:11.640 --> 1:28:13.439 It's a stress fracture. You don't have to do anything 1:28:13.439 --> 1:28:15.599 to it, it'll just break. And I didn't know that, 1:28:15.640 --> 1:28:17.880 and I played an entire season of soccer with a 1:28:17.920 --> 1:28:20.680 broken bone in my foot, which later on when a 1:28:20.760 --> 1:28:22.840 doctor X rated, it was like that is insane. How'd 1:28:22.840 --> 1:28:25.240 you do that? And I was like, well, by the way, 1:28:25.240 --> 1:28:27.280 I do not recommend it, because then you have pain 1:28:27.320 --> 1:28:29.519 in your foot and you know, I limp a little 1:28:29.560 --> 1:28:32.000 bit and it's not good. You want to get your 1:28:32.000 --> 1:28:34.720 fifth metatarsal fixed if you break it. But you get 1:28:34.800 --> 1:28:37.479 used to having to play hurt, just in life in 1:28:37.520 --> 1:28:41.040 general and trying to avoid injury. I find now that 1:28:41.080 --> 1:28:44.200 I have the discipline and the knowledge to do what 1:28:44.240 --> 1:28:46.960 I need to do physically to keep myself feeling healthy 1:28:47.000 --> 1:28:50.759 and active. But now it sounds like I'm I'm almost 1:28:50.760 --> 1:28:53.360 doing an advertisement for a retirement home to keep myself 1:28:53.360 --> 1:28:56.920 feeling healthy and active. But playing hurt man, it's such 1:28:56.920 --> 1:29:00.559 a big part of it, you know, just avoid bad 1:29:00.600 --> 1:29:06.160 injury too. I saw recently that are my old colleague 1:29:06.160 --> 1:29:09.000 from The Blaze, Matt Walsh. He was tweeting out about 1:29:09.000 --> 1:29:12.080 how he ruptured his achilles tendon. I don't know what 1:29:12.120 --> 1:29:13.559 to do to of what I am. That is a 1:29:13.640 --> 1:29:16.040 fear that I have. I've thought about getting back into 1:29:16.120 --> 1:29:21.320 doing wind sprints because intermittent intermittent training and wind sprints 1:29:22.160 --> 1:29:24.920 or interval training rather not intermittent training, it's intermittent fasting. 1:29:24.960 --> 1:29:28.000 But interval training with wind sprints I have found in 1:29:28.040 --> 1:29:30.920 the past is among the most especially when you add 1:29:30.920 --> 1:29:33.400 inclines into it. So you go at very high speed 1:29:33.400 --> 1:29:35.680 at a steep incline, and then you'd go at a 1:29:35.720 --> 1:29:37.920 more resting rate run and then you keep switching back 1:29:37.920 --> 1:29:42.760 and forth. One of the most effective things for I 1:29:42.840 --> 1:29:45.840 found for weight loss and just overall health. But I 1:29:45.880 --> 1:29:47.479 feel like I'm old enough now, or if I just 1:29:47.520 --> 1:29:49.320 try to do some wind sprints, I might rupture my 1:29:49.320 --> 1:29:52.240 achilles tendon. You know, So I Mark, what's the worst 1:29:52.280 --> 1:29:58.120 injury you've ever had from sports? Birth? Birth? Yeah, when 1:29:58.160 --> 1:30:02.120 I was born. That's not that's not an injury from sports. Dude, 1:30:02.200 --> 1:30:03.840 back on your I had a friend who did that, 1:30:03.840 --> 1:30:07.679 who ruptured as achilles really yeah, and I was involved 1:30:07.680 --> 1:30:10.760 in the in the race. It was hilarious, makes a 1:30:11.000 --> 1:30:14.080 pop noise from what I understand it. Really, man, he 1:30:14.200 --> 1:30:18.240 wasn't he wasn't right for like a year. Yeah, yeah, 1:30:18.320 --> 1:30:20.200 I want to see. This is a thing like I'm 1:30:20.240 --> 1:30:21.880 at this point now where you know, I used to 1:30:21.920 --> 1:30:23.240 be able to play her, but now I just don't 1:30:23.280 --> 1:30:25.639 want to get hurt. I sound so whimpy right now, 1:30:25.680 --> 1:30:27.960 but it's true. You know, I'll do some like weights 1:30:27.960 --> 1:30:29.680 and things like that. I used to take like an 1:30:29.680 --> 1:30:31.960 Olympic bar and throw it around and you're all rare, 1:30:32.080 --> 1:30:34.200 And now I'm like, maybe I'll just use the five pounders, 1:30:34.200 --> 1:30:36.280 you know, just yeay, like get a little get the 1:30:36.360 --> 1:30:39.760 heart pumping. I gotta get. I gotta get back into 1:30:39.800 --> 1:30:43.160 beast mode. Beast mode for buck. None of this whimp 1:30:43.200 --> 1:30:45.479 mode stuff. But I'm trying so those of you who have, 1:30:45.800 --> 1:30:48.800 if you have team and exercise routine that has worked 1:30:48.840 --> 1:30:51.120 fantastically for you and you care to share it, I 1:30:51.120 --> 1:30:53.840 will tell you this. Whoever sends me the best exercise 1:30:53.880 --> 1:30:56.559 and meal plan routine at Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton, 1:30:56.840 --> 1:30:58.840 we'll get a shout out on the show. How about that. 1:30:58.920 --> 1:31:01.439 We'll make this almost a little a little contest. But 1:31:01.520 --> 1:31:02.680 did you know, and don't give me one of the 1:31:02.760 --> 1:31:05.400 things we were like, you're gonna eat seven hundred calories 1:31:05.400 --> 1:31:07.160 a day and you're gonna work out for six hours 1:31:07.160 --> 1:31:09.000 a day. I got a life, I got things I 1:31:09.040 --> 1:31:12.120 gotta do. Keep it, keep it realistic, all right for 1:31:12.240 --> 1:31:14.320 those of you, and don't send me photos of your abs. 1:31:14.360 --> 1:31:16.720 For all I know there's like amateur and even some 1:31:16.760 --> 1:31:18.920 professional weightlifters who listen to this show. All right, you 1:31:18.920 --> 1:31:21.000 don't need to make the radio host feel bad. I 1:31:21.040 --> 1:31:22.920 don't need to see your six pack, but do share 1:31:22.960 --> 1:31:26.479 your meal plan and your workout tricks. I'll take all 1:31:26.479 --> 1:31:28.559 that stuff because I don't want to rupture my achilles. 1:31:28.560 --> 1:31:39.840 We'll be right back. Hey, Team Buck, it's time for roll. 1:31:39.960 --> 1:31:59.680 Call Facebook dot com slash Buck Sex in. That is 1:31:59.720 --> 1:32:04.320 how we get the roll call action going. Very easy. 1:32:04.400 --> 1:32:07.120 Just go there, send a message. I love when people say, 1:32:07.280 --> 1:32:08.920 is this where we send the role call message? And 1:32:08.960 --> 1:32:12.400 I'll read that on air of course, of course it 1:32:12.479 --> 1:32:14.960 is where we send the roll call message. Dale is 1:32:15.000 --> 1:32:17.840 first up, Buck, What do you think the odds are 1:32:17.920 --> 1:32:22.400 that Muller's stunt yesterday was the result of negotiations between 1:32:23.000 --> 1:32:27.280 himself and Nadler as a way to avoid testifying. He 1:32:27.360 --> 1:32:30.240 essentially gave Nadler and the leftist what they wanted while 1:32:30.240 --> 1:32:34.800 avoiding being grilled by the Republicans. You know, Dale, I 1:32:34.880 --> 1:32:39.519 give you points for creative outside the box thinking. I 1:32:39.560 --> 1:32:43.280 would just say that there's the reason I think that 1:32:43.360 --> 1:32:46.559 did not happen is that it is too much risk 1:32:46.640 --> 1:32:51.080 for too little gain for Muller. There's no reason for 1:32:51.200 --> 1:32:55.040 him to put himself in a position where something like 1:32:55.080 --> 1:32:58.280 that could come out and be a big problem for him. 1:32:58.280 --> 1:33:02.479 But I can't to borrow from Muller. If I could 1:33:02.520 --> 1:33:05.920 conclusively prove that you were wrong, I would say so. 1:33:06.120 --> 1:33:10.320 I am merely saying I don't think that happened, But 1:33:10.479 --> 1:33:12.840 I'm not saying that. I'm not saying it. I'm not 1:33:12.880 --> 1:33:14.680 saying it did not saying it didn't. You know, I 1:33:14.760 --> 1:33:17.640 do want to don't. So that's what I got for 1:33:17.680 --> 1:33:22.439 you on that, my friend, TJ. Right Buck, I'm kind 1:33:22.439 --> 1:33:25.599 of glad to hear you're leaving Rising, especially on days 1:33:25.640 --> 1:33:28.519 like today when Jamal fills in for Crystal. While the 1:33:28.520 --> 1:33:30.479 two of them may be of the same political bent, 1:33:30.560 --> 1:33:33.840 at least Crystal is mostly respectful of guests, especially pro 1:33:33.960 --> 1:33:38.320 life guests. Unlike the way Jamal treated Jeanie this morning despicable. 1:33:38.600 --> 1:33:40.960 At least let her talk. I've never heard more interruptions. 1:33:41.000 --> 1:33:45.959 He's got a lot to learn about hosting. T J. Yeah, 1:33:46.000 --> 1:33:51.280 I look, I called Jeanie afterwards to apologize for the 1:33:51.320 --> 1:33:53.160 way she was treated on and I did try and 1:33:54.400 --> 1:33:57.479 you know, bring the temperature down at that table a 1:33:57.520 --> 1:34:01.120 little bit. Although it's a very hard thing to get 1:34:01.160 --> 1:34:04.519 a co host to not be so riled up, I've 1:34:04.840 --> 1:34:06.840 something that I've learned. It's just because then all of 1:34:06.880 --> 1:34:08.880 a sudden, you become the problem too, and you can 1:34:08.880 --> 1:34:12.040 make it much much worse. So unless you're just gonna 1:34:12.040 --> 1:34:15.519 bail on the segment, Yeah, TJ, I'm not going to 1:34:15.560 --> 1:34:18.759 disagree with you, but it was I have very rarely 1:34:18.760 --> 1:34:21.000 had to call someone to apologize for the way they 1:34:21.000 --> 1:34:27.200 were treated in my presence and the head of the 1:34:27.280 --> 1:34:30.519 March for Life. She was not given the respect that 1:34:30.680 --> 1:34:33.599 she was due as a guest, and I tried, and 1:34:34.040 --> 1:34:38.920 unfortunately it wasn't enough to make that happen. So yeah, 1:34:39.000 --> 1:34:42.479 I'm it's time to go for me, TJ from the Hill. 1:34:42.840 --> 1:34:46.800 So that's where it is. I am moving on and focusing, 1:34:46.880 --> 1:34:50.960 quite honestly, just focusing on this radio show. I have 1:34:51.040 --> 1:34:53.600 some other projects that are around the radio show that 1:34:53.640 --> 1:34:56.200 I'll be able to announce very soon, really exciting, very 1:34:56.200 --> 1:35:00.200 cool stuff. We're going to be jumping Team BA. We're 1:35:00.200 --> 1:35:04.920 gonna be jumping into the digital world. So that's that's 1:35:04.920 --> 1:35:06.760 the biggest preview I can give you right now. But 1:35:06.800 --> 1:35:08.639 we're going to jump in it. That doesn't change anything 1:35:08.640 --> 1:35:14.439 on radio. I'm just saying, think video, think podcasting, think 1:35:14.479 --> 1:35:19.080 things like that, all right, Benjamin, Right Buck. I enjoy 1:35:19.200 --> 1:35:23.679 your television and movie reviews. It saves me from wasting 1:35:23.720 --> 1:35:26.000 time and being disappointed when a show ends up being 1:35:26.080 --> 1:35:30.160 liberal trash propaganda. My wife and I both appreciate it. 1:35:30.240 --> 1:35:33.120 Shields high well, Benjamin' I'm so happy to provide that 1:35:33.160 --> 1:35:37.240 additional service, my friend. Thank you. Sometimes people say to me, 1:35:37.400 --> 1:35:40.120 you're not a movie critic, Well are you criticizing movies 1:35:40.160 --> 1:35:42.439 on you? Well, you know, I just talk about things. 1:35:42.560 --> 1:35:49.840 I try to share worthwhile, interesting, entertaining information. I mean, 1:35:49.880 --> 1:35:53.439 that's that is what I try to manage. That is 1:35:53.479 --> 1:35:55.160 what I try to do here on the show. So 1:35:55.360 --> 1:35:59.040 that's my mandate, that is my mission. And if that 1:35:59.120 --> 1:36:01.559 means that I can also Oh man, I was trying 1:36:01.560 --> 1:36:08.400 to watch it wasn't deep Water Rising yesterday, which is 1:36:08.439 --> 1:36:10.040 a Let me see if I can pull this up 1:36:10.080 --> 1:36:13.320 real quick. Um, I think it's called is it deep 1:36:13.360 --> 1:36:18.720 Water Rising or what is it? Uh? No, deep Water Horizon? Oh, 1:36:18.760 --> 1:36:23.320 I can't remember what this is? What this is called? Um? 1:36:24.560 --> 1:36:28.120 It had man, It's it's about a it's a movie. 1:36:28.160 --> 1:36:31.080 I'm actually finding this in real time movie. But a 1:36:31.160 --> 1:36:34.679 giant squid from the ninth attacking a cruise ship. Yep, 1:36:34.720 --> 1:36:38.320 here we go. It's called deep Rising. There we go 1:36:38.520 --> 1:36:40.759 deep It's funny. We're just talking about my show rising 1:36:41.240 --> 1:36:46.240 deep Rising? Wait? Is that it? Um? I think this 1:36:46.400 --> 1:36:52.800 is right? It is? It is? It is terrible. It 1:36:52.960 --> 1:36:57.559 is terrible. Um, it's a really really bad movie. So 1:36:57.680 --> 1:37:01.360 I would not go about watching that any anytime soon. 1:37:01.439 --> 1:37:05.439 I would I think that you'll be very very happy 1:37:05.439 --> 1:37:07.600 if you skip that one. But I did think it 1:37:07.640 --> 1:37:11.320 was kind of funny that, you know, when when I 1:37:11.360 --> 1:37:13.360 was watching it, you see people who back in the day, 1:37:14.160 --> 1:37:18.320 they whenever they're firing an automatic weapon, they would shoot 1:37:18.360 --> 1:37:20.920 from the waist and kind of move the weapon back 1:37:20.920 --> 1:37:23.000 and forth, like side to side, as though that was 1:37:23.040 --> 1:37:25.240 going to make the bullets go faster. There's a lot 1:37:25.240 --> 1:37:30.679 of that in in Deep Rising. Um. Yeah, such such 1:37:30.720 --> 1:37:33.759 a yep famkagens And this is the movie such nineteen 1:37:33.840 --> 1:37:37.800 ninety eight, Such a bad movie, not not worth anyone's time. 1:37:37.840 --> 1:37:41.320 I was amazed at how cheesy and garbage it was. 1:37:41.760 --> 1:37:46.960 All right. Next up is Jeremy Buck with companies like 1:37:47.160 --> 1:37:50.200 Uber and Open Table rating their customers. Is this not 1:37:50.280 --> 1:37:52.880 a precursor to China's social rating system we've been hearing 1:37:52.880 --> 1:37:56.920 about shields high Jeremy, Well, Jeremy, I don't think it's 1:37:56.920 --> 1:38:00.519 a precursor to that. I think that you know, you 1:38:00.560 --> 1:38:02.479 look at how much of your life is already determined 1:38:02.520 --> 1:38:05.519 by your record and by you know, your driving record 1:38:05.560 --> 1:38:10.080 influences how much you pay for insurance, your academic record 1:38:10.120 --> 1:38:12.200 where you go to school, what jobs you get, your 1:38:12.240 --> 1:38:17.160 employment record, your criminal record. These are all This is 1:38:17.200 --> 1:38:22.200 all data about humans. That about humans, that affects what 1:38:22.240 --> 1:38:24.559 we can do and what our options and opportunities are. 1:38:24.640 --> 1:38:30.720 So that's already happening. What China has is are you 1:38:30.760 --> 1:38:33.439 supportive of the state and doing what the state wants? 1:38:33.600 --> 1:38:36.639 And that's different than Uber in my mind at least, 1:38:36.680 --> 1:38:38.680 that's different than Uber saying this person is polite and 1:38:38.760 --> 1:38:40.880 friendly and shows up when they say they're going to 1:38:40.920 --> 1:38:47.760 show up for pickup stuff like that. Laurel all rights, Hey, Buck, 1:38:47.760 --> 1:38:49.600 I thought you were reading an ad for podcasts or 1:38:49.640 --> 1:38:53.960 joking when you started about encouraging social credit through Uber Dude. Seriously, 1:38:54.400 --> 1:38:57.679 that is ripe for abuse, if I'm not mistaken. Wow, 1:38:57.720 --> 1:38:59.800 another person who compares this to China, you are against this. 1:39:00.120 --> 1:39:02.920 China started this nonsense. The problem we have in society 1:39:02.960 --> 1:39:05.360 isn't that people are rude, is that we force everyone 1:39:05.400 --> 1:39:08.280 to be positive, resulting an outburst when our internal emotional 1:39:08.320 --> 1:39:11.240 state gets out of hand. No one wants to be angry, mean, 1:39:11.400 --> 1:39:14.439 or rude. Empathy and compassion or how you change the society, 1:39:14.520 --> 1:39:16.880 not more punishment for things that we perceive as wrong. 1:39:17.360 --> 1:39:20.960 Watch the Black Mirror episode episode nosedive, and remember we're 1:39:21.000 --> 1:39:25.360 all human. I don't know, Laurel, I'm gonna agree to 1:39:25.400 --> 1:39:28.519 disagree with you on this one. I think that people 1:39:28.800 --> 1:39:30.800 engage in a business trends. I mean, should we not 1:39:30.840 --> 1:39:34.080 have Yelp reviews for businesses? Is that, big brother? Or 1:39:34.200 --> 1:39:36.920 is that? I like to know if a place where 1:39:36.920 --> 1:39:42.280 I'm going to conduct business has a reputation of being dishonest, 1:39:42.560 --> 1:39:46.840 doing bad work, overcharging people. So if that's true for businesses, 1:39:46.880 --> 1:39:49.200 why can't it be true for your interactions with a business. 1:39:49.920 --> 1:39:52.759 I don't understand, in fact, what is a credit score 1:39:53.200 --> 1:39:59.160 other than a compilation of your trustworthiness in paying your 1:39:59.240 --> 1:40:01.559 debts and looking at the level of debt you maintain. 1:40:02.840 --> 1:40:05.680 So this is already out there, I don't so I 1:40:05.720 --> 1:40:09.360 don't agree that this is the Chinese social credit system, 1:40:09.479 --> 1:40:13.120 which is far more invasive and intrusive and has to 1:40:13.160 --> 1:40:16.599 do with state mandated policy and the support of state 1:40:16.640 --> 1:40:19.600 mandated policy. So and then also it helps you for 1:40:19.680 --> 1:40:21.640 dating apps and stuff. I should probably read. There's a 1:40:21.640 --> 1:40:23.479 couple of good books out right now about the Chinese 1:40:23.479 --> 1:40:27.960 social credit system, and maybe I'll dig into those. Wow, 1:40:28.000 --> 1:40:30.479 a lot a lot of people, A lot of people 1:40:30.520 --> 1:40:34.280 got really thought the Uber conversation yesterday, the whole inbox 1:40:34.360 --> 1:40:36.960 is full of this stuff. Book. You talked about ranking 1:40:37.000 --> 1:40:40.160 people on niceness or nastiness. Does this sound a lot 1:40:40.200 --> 1:40:43.920 like the Chinese social ranking system? No, guys, it's not 1:40:44.439 --> 1:40:47.360 ranking you as a person in general for your niceness 1:40:47.400 --> 1:40:51.960 or nastiness. It's a it's not a totalitarian surveillance state 1:40:52.000 --> 1:40:56.479 that's assessing. It's when you ask for an Uber ride pickup? 1:40:57.000 --> 1:40:59.439 Are are you at the place you're supposed to be? 1:40:59.840 --> 1:41:03.280 And are you a reasonable person in that in that interaction? 1:41:03.439 --> 1:41:06.760 I don't know why. Oh man, Well, it's a good 1:41:06.800 --> 1:41:08.439 idea and thought. I think that if libs are a 1:41:08.520 --> 1:41:10.559 high percentage of restaurants to have, how would that work? 1:41:10.600 --> 1:41:13.240 If you're a conservative, you get a bad ranking from them. 1:41:13.640 --> 1:41:15.120 But I mean this is true of anything. I mean, 1:41:15.160 --> 1:41:18.000 any ranking system. You can get someone who wants to, 1:41:18.600 --> 1:41:20.599 you know, mess with you or mess up what's going on. 1:41:20.720 --> 1:41:24.160 So I disagree, folks, I know a lot of you 1:41:24.160 --> 1:41:28.400 are are you going right to the China thing here? China? 1:41:29.720 --> 1:41:34.639 Michelle right? Buck M good to hear your show. Thank you, Michelle, 1:41:34.720 --> 1:41:39.880 I appreciate that very much. Next up here we have 1:41:41.280 --> 1:41:44.839 Valerie who writes movie talkers. They covered your social behavior 1:41:44.880 --> 1:41:48.439 idea in the Fox series The Orville. By the way, 1:41:48.920 --> 1:41:51.719 you have an enjoyable program. Well, thank you so much, Valerie. 1:41:51.760 --> 1:41:54.680 I appreciate that. We hope the program is very much enjoyable. 1:41:55.880 --> 1:41:58.400 That I'd already say, Valerie, I think maybe that was 1:41:58.439 --> 1:42:02.560 the one that Alan Rights hey Buck enjoyed seeing you 1:42:02.600 --> 1:42:04.320 on the Hill. But it's for the best that you 1:42:04.360 --> 1:42:07.080 can pursue your convictions without compromise. You'll be leaving the 1:42:07.120 --> 1:42:09.479 swamp and going back to NYC or maybe even coming 1:42:09.479 --> 1:42:14.920 out to La Alan TBD, my friend TBD. But I 1:42:14.920 --> 1:42:19.479 am leaving the Hill Fae show. So that is now 1:42:19.520 --> 1:42:22.600 out there and people know it. All that hasn't up 1:42:22.600 --> 1:42:24.640 been aficial. It'll be officially announced on Monday. Those you 1:42:24.640 --> 1:42:26.160 listen to the radio show, you get a little sneak 1:42:26.160 --> 1:42:29.720 prev because you're like my family. Debra Rights, I love it. 1:42:29.760 --> 1:42:32.000 Dems are focused on getting Trump. They cannot even run 1:42:32.040 --> 1:42:37.120 a good campaign based on that. Yes, Debra, they're not 1:42:37.120 --> 1:42:40.880 really running a campaign at all. They're just running a 1:42:42.000 --> 1:42:46.200 kind of emotional smear effort. I mean, they're just they're 1:42:46.360 --> 1:42:51.320 they've completely lost themselves in Trump hatred that knows no 1:42:51.920 --> 1:42:56.599 limitations or rationality, and they think you and I are 1:42:56.640 --> 1:42:59.720 the crazy ones. That's what's so interesting about at least 1:42:59.720 --> 1:43:02.479 to me. So what do we have tomorrow Friday? Oh 1:43:02.479 --> 1:43:04.519 that's right, man, it's gonna be a little freestyle Friday. 1:43:04.560 --> 1:43:06.120 You know.

I feel like some of 1:43:10.080 --> 1:43:12.000 you really enjoyed that we'd open the phone lines for it. 1:43:12.080 --> 1:43:14.800 Let me know, Facebook, dot com, slashbuck Sexton or anything 1:43:14.840 --> 1:43:17.599 else you think you want for Friday shows.
