We are days away 2 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,479 Speaker 1: from the historic summit with Kim Jong Un and President Trump. 3 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: What can we expect will happen and what should we 4 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: be looking for? Also a another look at whether Russia 5 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,159 Speaker 1: should be included once again in the G seven and 6 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: some fresh pardons that Trump is considering. What will we 7 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: make of that? And what is the left gonna say 8 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: if he keeps on making the right moves there? That 9 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: are more coming up.

I 18 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: I have to say, I really like, I really like 19 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: the the Trump approach so far on pardons. I've been 20 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: discussing this with you all for a while, but I 21 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: think that the President understands that it's yet again one 22 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: of these opportunities where he has the chance to clarify. 23 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: He has the chance to show that no matter what 24 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: action he takes, there are people with platforms in the 25 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: media who will try to tear him down for it. 26 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: Trump can pardon people that the left has been raging 27 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: about their incarceration for years. Trump can do very clear 28 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: outreach to UH minority groups or whatever it may be. 29 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: They will try to tear him down for it. And 30 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: I saw day there was the possibility of a uh. Well, 31 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: here we have the president talking about play clip seven. 32 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: There will be more parts. I thought Alice yesterday was beautiful. 33 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: I thought Jack Johnson, which was recommended by Silvestis Loan 34 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: and some great boxers. I'm thinking about somebody that you 35 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: all know very well, and he went through a lot 36 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: and he wasn't very popular. Then he's circuly his memory 37 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: is very popular. Now I'm thinking about Muhammad Ali. Muhammad 38 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: Ali may in fact be the next the next pardon. 39 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: Now it would be a posthumous pardon. It would be 40 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: obviously after Muhammad les passed away. And there is also 41 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: the fact that he has covered under I believe a 42 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: larger amnesty. He didn't register for selective service and so 43 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: but it's a gesture Now people could say that the 44 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: gesture is I don't know. Some will say that it's 45 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: the right thing to do, other those say it's an 46 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: empty gesture. But notice how the battle lines here are 47 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: drawn specifically by those who like Trump and those who 48 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: don't like Trump. The battle lines will not be about 49 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: whether this was something that at a previous point in 50 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: time the left would have said, you know what's that's 51 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: something that needs to happen, something that needs to get done. 52 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: So he shows us once once again that this is 53 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: all about opposing Trump, no matter what the cost, no 54 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: matter what the issue, And on pardon specifically, it is 55 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: a way to remind all of us that what we've 56 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: been told for last year over the Russia Trump collusion situation, 57 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,799 Speaker 1: what we've been told for the last year is that 58 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:25,239 Speaker 1: the FBI is infallible. Okay, I'm i overstate. The FBI 59 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: is largely beyond reproach the media, the media trash cops, 60 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: but FBI leadership in d C. They deserve nothing but 61 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: the utmost respect total patriots like James Comey. Although let's 62 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: remember that when that IG report comes out, above blame 63 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: and above reproach um, the IG report is going to 64 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: I think put many large holes in that notion. But 65 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: they've been relying on Trump is undermining our institutions. He's 66 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: undermining our institutions, and that's also part of the drumbeat 67 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: of those institutions have functions. Those functions results in decisions, 68 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: and and those decisions must be respected. Right that the 69 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,679 Speaker 1: process gives us an outcome, and the outcome is something 70 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: that we have to accept. So whether they decide to 71 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: indict Hillary or not, it's that's the way it is, 72 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: right because they have the right. We shouldn't think about 73 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: whether this is just, whether it's politicized, whether there were 74 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: other indicators, here are other things that should be brought 75 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: into our consideration of the issue. The process is all 76 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: we need to know with pardons, though, all of a 77 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: sudden you hear them say, whoa Trump shouldn't know you 78 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: can't do that, Well, yeah, he can do that, and 79 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: he is doing it. And this is yet another moment 80 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: where you see that the executive as emperor that was 81 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: when into overdrive under them administration, and people like me 82 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: on record, all conservatives that I know who do this 83 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: for a living, we're saying, you know, guys, this stuff 84 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: with the executive orders and with the remember Obama would 85 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: say things out loud like you know, and I've got 86 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: to put a phone and and he would say that 87 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: he's gonna go around Congress, and the left would cheer 88 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: for this. Right, the left would cheer. They would say, 89 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you know, he's not going to allow 90 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,679 Speaker 1: obstruction to stand away. Well, that's actually the function of 91 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: that's actually the function of those different bodies, right, that's 92 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: the the purpose of Congress is to make decisions about 93 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: whether or not Congress is gonna pass certain laws. It's 94 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,799 Speaker 1: not to say, hey, hey, President, what law should we pass? 95 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: Oh cool that law, sign me up. That's not the 96 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: way it's supposed to go. That is not the way 97 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: that this should be looked at. But they dispensed with 98 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: all when it came to Obama, and now with Trump, 99 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: all of a Suddeny're like, whoa executive power? There's a 100 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of parent the executive and you know, 101 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: we we warned them, but they didn't care. Because power 102 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: is the ultimate end goal. It's the single most important 103 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: desire of progressivism is the attainment of power and wielding power. 104 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: That's it. Everything else the ill they'll shoehorn other things 105 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: into it, but it is all about the state and 106 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: what the state can do. And so that it's with 107 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: that in mind that I see these pardons in the 108 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: discussion of them and how they are opposed to it. 109 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: But they can't say that. It's this is so clear cut, right. 110 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: The president can pardon people. He has that power. They say, oh, well, 111 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: he went outside the normal channels, or they're complaining that 112 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: celebrities are getting pardon the arbitrary folks. It always has 113 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: been who gets a pardon whoever the president wants, kind 114 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: of like firing people. Who can the president fire the 115 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: executive branch that is answerable to him in the chain 116 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: of command. Well, you can fire James Comey as he 117 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: did for any reason or no reason. That is his right. 118 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: Just like he can decide that he wants to pardon 119 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: somebody because he likes their boat shoes, you know what 120 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: I mean. You can pardon somebody for any reason. And 121 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: and they still try to find ways to oppose this. 122 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: There's this this pathetic clawing at the UH at the 123 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: last yeah, you know, their last effort here trying to 124 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: find something with with Trump that is unconstitutional is gone. 125 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: But no, it's all there he's done what he's supposed 126 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: to do. He's been doing what he should do all along. 127 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: But he also threw an interesting, an interesting uh addition 128 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,719 Speaker 1: into things today and had to produce your Mike for 129 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: bring this one of my attention. You got people ask 130 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: him questions on his way to uh. He's got a 131 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: press gagle, he's on his way to a meeting, and 132 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: he put this out there. And this time is in 133 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: protests with the NFL and pardons, the pardons that could 134 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 1: be coming in the future. Play Cliff ten instead of talk. 135 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: It's all talk, talk talk. We have a great country. 136 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: You should stand for our national anthem. You shouldn't go 137 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: in a locker room when our national anthem is played. 138 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask all of those people to recommend to me, 139 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: because that's what they're protesting. People that they think we're 140 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: unfairly treated by the justice system. And I'm gonna take 141 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: a look at those applications and if I find and 142 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: my committee finds that they're unfairly treated, then we will 143 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: pardon them or at least let them out. The President 144 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: is now turning to NFL players and saying, look, you know, 145 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: bring it to my attention, who who has been, who 146 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: has been unfairly treated, who has been over incarcerated or 147 00:09:53,880 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: perhaps even incarcerated unjustly. Who you there is, we'll see. 148 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: But are they not willing to engage because I saw 149 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: that earlier in the week, Kim Kardashian shows up with 150 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: a specific request in mind and and put it put 151 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: aside for the moment, whether you agree. And I read 152 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: that uh note yesterday during roll call from somebody who 153 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: disagrees with the pardon that Trump signed for that woman 154 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: who had been in prison for twenty years for drug conspiracy. 155 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: I'll put that aside for a moment. Kardashian had an ask. 156 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: She's a citizen, she's petitioning her government. She's gonna talk. 157 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: And it's at least it's a request for clemency, right, 158 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: it's not a request for some green energy boon doggle 159 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: or throw more funds my way courtesy of the taxpayer. 160 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: And we'll call it something else, stimulus or something. So 161 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: they were willing to criticize that. They won't even make 162 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: the allowance there of Hey, we're against him on most stuff, 163 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: but on this we will finally, we'll finally stop. And 164 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: I just believe that the the Trump's arrangement syndrome has 165 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: gotten to a point now are the only way the 166 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: only way forward is to just keep hammering them, just 167 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: keep pushing them. Keeps forced them to come out and 168 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: say things that expose how unfair the medias treatment the 169 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: president is, how unfair they're framing their narrative of this 170 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: entire administration has been and will continue to be and 171 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: hopefully bring about some change in that behavior, change in 172 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 1: those attitudes. I don't know if it's possible, but I 173 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: also know there's really not much of an alternative. There's 174 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: not much an alternative, and and the power of pardons 175 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: is something that President Trump has wielded very very effectively 176 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: so far. You know, he's not letting people out that 177 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: everyone goes, oh my gosh, that guy's that guy's an 178 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: axe murderer. We can't let him out of prison. Nope. 179 00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: He is picking cases that bring to mind, not just 180 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: the specific injustices of those cases, but he's reminding us all, 181 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: don't put too much faith in this system, folks. I mean, yeah, 182 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: it's the system we've got. We're trying to make it better, 183 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: and but let's not act like it's infallible. And certainly 184 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: not act that way because of a partisan impulse. And 185 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: that's what's been happening here. That's what's been happening. Oh, 186 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: I have to say, there was much more scrutiny of 187 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: Trump's pardon of uh, Mike, the name is Alice. Her 188 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: name is escaping. What's her last name, Alice Marie Johnson. 189 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: Thank you, Alice Marie Johnson. Much more scrutiny of that 190 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: decision that then I recall, Okay, this is my recollection 191 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: when Obama community the sentence of Oscar Lopez Rivera, who 192 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: was had blood on his hands, was a terrorist, a 193 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: a Puerto Rican separatist terrorists. So I think that the 194 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: president's in the right things here. I think that he's 195 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: showing us all what's really going on. Um, it is Friday, 196 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: so you know what, and I've been working some movie 197 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: quotes into the show in the week, so John pulled 198 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: us all together for us. Actually movie quote Friday hit it. 199 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: Have you seen you here? I hope not? Sporadically. Three, 200 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: for lack of a better word, is good Fridays. It's 201 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: like people only do things because they get paid Fridays. 202 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: And that's just truly sad. Yeah, that's right. Awesome movie 203 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 1: quote Friday, not actually a quote Friday. I got this 204 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: confused for a second. So I think a lot of 205 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: you will be able to remember those different lines that 206 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: I share with you during over the course of the show. 207 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: So there you have it.

Unfortunately our people are in charge, right, 214 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: but surrounded by a lot of swamp creatures. It's good 215 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: that you guys are my or my lifeline to the 216 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: real world here every day on the on the radio waves. 217 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: We even sent out way, Yeah, that's the waves, because right, 218 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: that's how that's how radio works.

She 220 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: was last seen in public on May ten, That was 221 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: eighteen days ago. One thing that the President in the 222 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: White House has been quite quiet about is Malannia Trump 223 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: and her status. There's been a lot of questions about 224 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: her surgery, her time at Walter Read and now her invisibility. 225 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: The last time we caught a glimpse of her was 226 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: on May twenty four days, more than three weeks. One 227 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: thing we did not see was First Lady Annie A. Trump. 228 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: The First Lady has not been seen in public for 229 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: twenty five days, twenty six days without being in the 230 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: public eye. She's doing stuff in the White House. Isn't 231 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: there a picture? She didn't go to Camp David with 232 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: the weekend and he took some of his children and 233 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: now his young son. You know, where's the picture? David Frum, 234 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: who's the Atlantic senior editor to your eyes last weekend 235 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: of tweets some basically saying uh that President Trump could 236 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: have possibly beaten his wife and covered it up. The 237 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: tweet says closed President Trump punched the First Lady in 238 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: the White House and then ordered the Secret Service to 239 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: conceal the assaulting. A lot of questions being asked about 240 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: something that there shouldn't be any question over. First Lady 241 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: had to have a kidney procedure. She had to have surgery. 242 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: It's has been known, it's been known all along. But 243 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: you will also note that in that series that we 244 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: played for you, of of questions there there's meant to 245 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: be a kind of yeah, maybe there's something sinister going 246 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: on here. Vibe to it all there, there's they're supposed 247 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: to be a well, you know, maybe something's being covered 248 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: up or we're not being told something, because otherwise, how 249 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: is this even a story? How is this even something 250 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: that anyone needs to ask about? Well, I can tell 251 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: you that when you dig into this a little more, 252 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: you find and Trump responded. Trump wrote about this. He 253 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: wrote that the fake news media has been so unfair 254 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: and vicious to my wife and our great first Lady, 255 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: Milania during her recovery from surgery. They reported everything from 256 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: near death to facelift, to left the White House for 257 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: New York or Virginia, to abuse, all fakes. She's doing 258 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: really well now. Of course, the peddlers of fake news 259 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: came and said, that's not true. The media, you know, 260 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: they always think the media means them. That's a tough 261 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: thing to speak for the media. But he had the 262 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: New York Times, and I had to brief Hayton of 263 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: the federals who pulled all these togethers. New York Times 264 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: implied the timing of milannis kidney surgery was suspect. You 265 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,959 Speaker 1: had the Roots say that Milania uh a, Milannia had 266 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: a body double at an event. You had rolling a 267 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: Rolling Stone writer Jamille Smith suggest that Milanni's absence was 268 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: due to physical abuse. You had Politico uh blaming the 269 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: White House for stoking conspiracy theories and then proceeding to 270 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: do just that about this whole Milannia situation. And the 271 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: situation isn't the first lady had to have surgery. I 272 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: just hope she's doing well. You know, it's also someone's 273 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: wife and a mom and someone's daughter, right, I mean, 274 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: these journals journalists are savages. I think one of the 275 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: problems that I have in d C. They're just all 276 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: these these just puff shirt you know, clownish journalists running 277 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: all over the place who are not nice people, very petty, 278 00:17:51,080 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: very vindictive and really distasteful. And I do not like them. 279 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: And that's a problem. You know, in New York can 280 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: kind of ignore people a little bit more because it's 281 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: such a big city that you just kind of you do. 282 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: Everyone's ignoring everybody, so you actually have it in a 283 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: weird way in New York a tremendous amount of privacy 284 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: because nobody cares there's so many people and so much 285 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: going on that nobody cares, you know, in d C. 286 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: I walk around.

And because whenever I 331 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: don't whenever I'm in public or even when I met 332 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: the house my wife and kids, I always trying to 333 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: think about their well being before or do my own. 334 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: And then once I know that they're okay, I'm worried 335 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: about myself. And it's the same thing with me. They 336 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 1: don't care about nobody else with themselves and their agenda. 337 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's true, man, Buck, thank you so much 338 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: for calling in. It feels a little like I was 339 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: speaking to myself there as a little Freudian. It's like Bucks, 340 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: so tell me all of your dreams, you know. It's 341 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: like Buck speaking of Buck. I'd probably do a segment 342 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: with that. I get to ask me the questions that 343 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: if I were you, i'd ask me. That makes some sense, 344 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: I think John in Cincinnati, Ohio? What up? John? So 345 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: Buck a long time with a long time listener, first 346 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: multiple time caller, Actually, thank you back, called you back 347 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: while you're on the Blaze and I've been listening to 348 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 1: you Saturdays since you were on Saturdays. Yes, well, thank 349 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: you so much half the time. Um, I got a 350 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: movie quote for you. All right, let's jim.

Oh? 353 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, play chess? Screw well, let's play chess. 354 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: Mm hmm, I got nothing. Saddles one of the most 355 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: awesome movies ever. I'm gonna tell you something, John, and 356 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: it's just between you and me. Okay, I don't want 357 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: you to judge, man, I want't even else to know this. 358 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: I've never seen Blazing Saddles and producer Mike looked like 359 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: he like he just had an a video show without 360 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: knowing it. Oh wait, you haven't seen it either. Woo. Yeah, 361 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: it's it's one of the best movies of all time. 362 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: I've probably been watching it off and on since I 363 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: was like five. I can tell you only understanding the 364 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: jokes because I grow up. I feel like there aren't 365 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: that man. There are very few movies for me that 366 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: are funny when I was a kid that I still 367 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: think are funny when I'm older. Ghostbusters falls into that category, 368 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,479 Speaker 1: but if you say Blazing Saddles is also in that category, 369 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: I will certainly I'll certainly give it a give it 370 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: a watch. So thank you very much, John for being 371 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: a listener for calling in. I appreciate it, and uh 372 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: like from you, Um yeah, what's uh trying to think 373 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: of my favorite western? I'm not that well. I want 374 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: to see the Hostiles movie that came out. It didn't 375 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: last that long to people told him it was very good, 376 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: like a little bleak, a little intense, but it was 377 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: very well made and it didn't do the whole I mean, 378 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: I just this thing of like, you know, like everyone's 379 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: every society has got their problems, right, but you notice 380 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: this trend of like the you know, Native Americans are 381 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 1: either you know, they're they're like all the all the 382 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: good guys in more content contemporary movies. I know they 383 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: used to be all the bad guys, right, but now 384 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: it's all the good guys. And I'm always like, why 385 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: do we have to politicize everything? Apparently in Hostiles, you've 386 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: got you know, you know, US cavalry doing some bad things. 387 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: You've got Native tribes doing some bad things. It's like 388 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: like the way it was like the world. But I 389 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: want to see that one. I mean, Tombstone is my 390 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: favorite Western, but it also is kind of an action movie. 391 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: But the bottom line is that it's really to him Stone. 392 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm kind of stalling because I don't 393 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: even want to have to dive into our next topic 394 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: because it's it's it's a bummer. But I want to 395 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 1: share some thoughts with you about two two pieces of 396 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: news that came in today. One has to do with 397 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: the suicide of Anthony Bourdain, which you know that when 398 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: people say it's a shock, I think suicide if someone 399 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: you don't know, is always a shock because how could you. 400 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: But occasionally there'll be some precursors. You know, somebody will 401 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: have been, you know, maybe institutionalized, or have terrible bouts 402 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: of depression, and that will be public as you have 403 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: some idea Bourdaine just I would never have thought. But 404 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: then again with you know, with Robin Williams, I would 405 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: have never have thought, so he had the Bourdaine. And 406 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 1: then also a note today that I saw from a 407 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: personal letter from Charles crot Hammer. We'll talk about both 408 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: these on the other side of the breaks. So stay 409 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: with me. The Anthony Bourdain UH is dead an apparent suicide, 410 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: and I'll do we'll deal with this story and then 411 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: we have another very sad story, UM talk about today, 412 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: another media figure. I tend to be somebody who doesn't 413 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: over over personalized people that I don't know. And I 414 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: never I never met boor Day. I have no personal 415 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: connection whatsoever. But I do remember times when I was 416 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: just all I wanted was to watch something that wasn't 417 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:16,360 Speaker 1: going to be political or at least overly political, annoyingly political, 418 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: something that you could just sit back and enjoy. And 419 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: it was. It was a story, it was a journey, 420 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: you know. The Well. Then when I went to Vietnam 421 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: some years ago, I had planned to do all this 422 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: research before I went, but I one thing I did 423 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: do because I didn't really have time to do all 424 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: that research, was I downloaded Anthony Bourdain's UH. I downloaded 425 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: his episode on iTunes of him in Vietnam, and I 426 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:52,479 Speaker 1: remember I watched it and I then went to at 427 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: least one of the places he went. It was this 428 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 1: little and I'm with my little brother, and it was 429 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: really tough to find and in in this show, you 430 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: had seen this being, you know, elderly Vietnamese women with 431 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: a little soupcart making this, what he said, was one 432 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: of the most of course, right, but one of the 433 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: most delicious soups he's ever had ever. And we went 434 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: to find this. It's just a cart in an alley 435 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: way and we managed to, which I'm impressed to this 436 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: day that we actually found it, because it wasn't a restaurant, 437 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: it wasn't really marked. You had to kind of go 438 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: to the neighborhood and look around. It wasn't an easy thing. 439 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: And we got there. It was a motto brother. And 440 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: what it was clear to me was that they had 441 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: done a little bit of staging for the episode before um, 442 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: before they actually filmed it, because when we got there, 443 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: there was around this cart, this in this whole alleyway. 444 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: There's just trash and dogs wandering everywhere and like little 445 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: kind of rickety looking tiny plastic chairs for people to 446 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: sit in. So it was a little like almost like 447 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: a trash dump, is what it really looked like. But 448 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: there was the car. I mean, when we had the soup, 449 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: and you know what, the soup was incredible, and I 450 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: only had it and only knew about it because of 451 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: Bourdain show. So it's just, you know, I bring that 452 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: up because for me, it's an example of how people 453 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: you don't know, through their through their work, through their 454 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: their craft, there art, there, creative endeavors can can affect 455 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: your life. And some of my my favorite moments all 456 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: time of doing this media thing, which I never sought 457 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 1: out to do and was not my plan and just 458 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: kind of happened. Or when people tell me that, you know, 459 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: they when they were undergoing chemo, they listened to the 460 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: Battle of Lepanto over and over and it gave them comfort. 461 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: Or it's just which is a story that one of 462 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: my beloved members of Team Buck told or sent to 463 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,719 Speaker 1: me some some years ago, that stuff really that can 464 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: really matter, can really help people. And so Bourdain is 465 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: one of those rare individuals who um really changed my 466 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: thinking about the whole area of life, which is food 467 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: and cooking in the culinary world. I read Kitchen Confidential long, 468 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: I mean not a long, long, long time ago. I 469 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: want to say, maybe I was in college. Yeah, I 470 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: think I was in college. And if you haven't read 471 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: about it's a great book. It's very very readable. It's 472 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: a really really it's a fun read, but he also 473 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: learned some things about it, and he has it. He 474 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: had a very good storytelling voice, and clearly was was 475 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: incredibly successful. And I think it's just hard first to 476 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: process that somebody who comes across that way. And I know, 477 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,719 Speaker 1: I know that mental illness is something that people often 478 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: hide very well, hid for very long periods of time, 479 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: um or you know what I mean, mental illness, severe depression, alcoholism. 480 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: But when someone's whole job is to find joy and 481 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: adventure and spread that to other people, it's just hard 482 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: to imagine the darkness that they carry with themselves. It's 483 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: it's hard to it's hard to imagine, really is so 484 00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: that part of it I found And I know that 485 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: this week also you had Kate Spade. I wasn't familiar 486 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: with with her at all except through the name from 487 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: her massive, a massive clothing brand. And then you had 488 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: one more. But and I'm just gonna bring it in here, 489 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: even though I can talk about it longer, because you know, 490 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: it's a Friday, and I don't. I am always wary 491 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: of bringing us down before the weekend, though sometimes it's 492 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: just the nature of this business. But this letter that 493 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: was put out, it's just heartbreaking from Charles Crodhammer, who 494 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: has I'm sure all of you are familiar with his 495 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: work regular on Brett Brett Bears Panel on Fox News, 496 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: one of the most prolific conservative columnists, if not the 497 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: most prolific conservative columnists of the last thirty or forty years. 498 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: And from everyone that I ever heard who interacted with 499 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: the guy, and I know a lot of people that 500 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: work at and have worked at Fox, was top to 501 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: bottom in every way, a class act and a really 502 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: kind person. And that's for for people who are prominent 503 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: in national media discussions. I'll be honest, it's really in 504 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: short supply these days. People are people are nasty. And 505 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: one thing that I find that is troubling is that 506 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: those who are in you know, those who are consumers 507 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: of media, those who you know, watch certain shows, listen 508 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: to certain shows. I'm always amazing like you that the 509 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: choice with me that they'll listen to somebody, they won't 510 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: listen to somebody who's kind and who's brilliant. Although Charles 511 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: was very, very successful, but there are other people I 512 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: know of what I feel like I've never really gotten 513 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: their due and are really good people on top of that, 514 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: but they will listen to people who are jerks, more nasty, 515 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: who are debasing who, And Charles was just the antithesis 516 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: of that in all of his work. Again, I can 517 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: only value it and professionally, I never I never met Charles, 518 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: but he wrote in this letter that he has weeks 519 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: to live after a very long battle with cancer in 520 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: which he had a large tumor removed from his abdomen. 521 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: And here here's another time when it feels like there 522 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: is there is a loss that even for those of 523 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: us like me who never met Charles Krodhammer Uh, the 524 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: loss will be will be made real for us because 525 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: his was a voice that I think was was truly 526 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: valuable in the national conversation about all kinds of things. 527 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: I never once saw him, and I watched I've watched 528 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: Brett Bear Show. I can't even count. They can't even 529 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: begin to estimate the number of times I never once 530 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: saw him Uh be belittle people or belittle anyone, be nasty, 531 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: be snied, be undermining, be And it feels to me 532 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: like that's actually just the direction of media now. It's 533 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: all like twitter burns and nastiness and people acting in 534 00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: the worst spot, acting ways they would never do in person. 535 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: But the truth is most most like journalists out there 536 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: who are constantly walking around talking about how they're speaking 537 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: through the power, kind of cowards in person. They are 538 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: very very little personal courage on display from And I 539 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: don't just mean like taking risks to their own personal safety. 540 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: I just mean they don't do things that are risky 541 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: for them. They do what is best for them all 542 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: the time and then pretend to be taking the risks. 543 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: But but Charles was a really important voice in the 544 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: in the conversation, and and it's it's just very sad. 545 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: It's very sad for his family. And I know for 546 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: a lot of my friends are Fox who know Charles 547 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: and worked with them for years and years. It's I 548 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: don't know what else to say. It's been a rough 549 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: been a rough week for news stories of of beloved 550 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: figures who have had a major impact on a lot 551 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: of lives around the world. And two suicides and uh 552 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: kind of losing battle against cancer. It's tough, you know. 553 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: I'm I'm just gonna I want to leave it there 554 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: for now. I can't spend much more time on it 555 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: because it's gonna bring me down to And I am 556 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: cognizant of you spending your time with me here.

And look, I don't want to be 561 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,760 Speaker 1: naive or anything, but you know, he said he's losing 562 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: his battle in all his weeks to live. But you 563 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: never know, you never know. So there there is that 564 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: you never know, Kenny from Boston.

I 567 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: always loved him, and I never knew that he was 568 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,319 Speaker 1: actually a quartriplegic. And he was in the um. You know, 569 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 1: he was in a wheel chair. I watched him so 570 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: many times and I so oh he always sits so erect. 571 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: I never figured it out, you know, and he was 572 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: he was really good all the time.

It was pretty amazing, 579 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: old school civility best. And anyway, so I got a question, 580 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: and um and I also have a movie quote. So 581 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: what I wanted to know is, what are you postulating 582 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: on what Mula or Mueller is going to be dropping 583 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: when Trump has this uh nuclear thing, because he always 584 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: in the timing is always uncanny, you know, you always 585 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: kind of dropped something at a moment when something is 586 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 1: either good for Trump or you know, it's it's not 587 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: by accident, and so that's uh that And um, so 588 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 1: I was just wondering what you think.

Nonsense? A former Senate Intelligence 624 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: Committee aid was arrested, James Wolfe. But he was arrested 625 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: for lying to investigators about his contacts with three reporters. 626 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: They said that he made false statements to the FBI 627 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: providing them, Uh, well about providing classified information or just 628 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: even just talking to Oh no, yeah, he never ever 629 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: gave classified information to journalists. Uh, Mr Wolfe, According to 630 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 1: this the Intelligence Committee's director of security, Oh wow, look 631 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: at that. The director of securities later to appear before 632 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: a federal jury today. And his case is interesting because 633 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: the seizure was disclosed in a letter to Ali Watkins, 634 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 1: a New York Times reporter who had been in a 635 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: three year long relationship with Mr Wolfe. Now there's a 636 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 1: lot going on here. There's a lot happening here, and 637 00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 1: I will just say this. Uh. First of all, I 638 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 1: I do not like I I am very uncomfortable with, 639 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 1: as a general matter, any seizure of journalists records for 640 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: the purpose of finding leaks. I think that it is 641 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: a slippery slope. I think it is dangerous unless there's 642 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: a very clear um national security safety rationale behind it. 643 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: You know. I think you have to balance out because 644 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: when once the government can start seizing your all your 645 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: communications and tracking down your sources, I mean, there's really 646 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 1: no such thing as sources anymore, right for for journalists, 647 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: So that becomes an issue except in the most extreme circumstances. 648 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 1: So I do want to say that. I will also 649 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: say that one of the problems that the media has 650 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 1: here is that they had a a moderated response, a 651 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: a kind of muted response, shall we say, to the 652 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: fact that the Obama administration use the Espionage Act more 653 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: than every administration before it combined, listed James Rosen a 654 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 1: Fox News as an unindicted co conspirator in one League case, 655 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 1: and that Obama was the worst, the worst president when 656 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 1: it came to press freedom, since at least Woodrow Wilson, 657 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: who was really bad. I wanted to lock people up 658 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:30,720 Speaker 1: for say anything you didn't like. So Obama was terrible 659 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 1: in this issue. Yes, they would write some editorials here 660 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: and they're saying, you know, we are uncomfortable with whatever. 661 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: But they didn't say attorney general needs to step it, 662 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: needs to resign. They didn't uh scream about police state 663 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 1: tactics or tyranny. And because they allowed Obama largely to 664 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: get away with it without any political consequences, which is true, 665 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 1: and it was really the fault of the DOJ and 666 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,720 Speaker 1: the federal government. It wasn't really Obama's fault that this happened, 667 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 1: even though it would have gone directly up to hold her. 668 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: His attorney general and holder would have signed off on it. 669 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 1: But you will see the double standard in action to 670 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 1: be sure, um, and they're aware of the fact that 671 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 1: we are aware that Obama did exactly this kind of 672 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: thing where he would see his reporters communications records looking 673 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:27,319 Speaker 1: for leaks. Uh. And so that means that there will 674 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: be a hypocrisy here, But it also means that they 675 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,959 Speaker 1: don't really care because they will often they will often 676 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:39,399 Speaker 1: tell stories that are incongruous with objective and objective view 677 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 1: of the situation. So remember that one and then another 678 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 1: part of this that I think, you know, I'm not 679 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 1: spending much on the Watkins New York Times. She's sleeping 680 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: with somebody who is allegedly a source and also is 681 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 1: writing stuff on Twitter about how she she was trying 682 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,759 Speaker 1: to throw people off the scent by lying and accusing 683 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: Trump lawyers. I think it was of you know, the league, 684 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 1: for which she was responded or she was around with 685 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 1: the league, but for publishing the league she knew the 686 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 1: leaguer was. It wasn't troub lawyers. So she's engaged in propaganda. 687 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: I mean that is straight. She is engaged in in 688 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 1: peddling falsehoods two tell the public, you know, to create 689 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,800 Speaker 1: a an untrue perception in the public's mind. For a reporter, 690 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty big deal. You know, when 691 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: you know something is untrue and you tell people as 692 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 1: a reporter that it is true, that should be an issue. 693 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 1: So that's That's one but the single most important part 694 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 1: of all this for me, because like I said, there's 695 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 1: a lot of different angles of this, is that Trump's 696 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: arrangement syndrome is so strong and the hatred of this 697 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 1: president is so strong that and I'm saying that they 698 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,799 Speaker 1: think that this was about the Uh, here we go. 699 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 1: This is what they write, and this is a New 700 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 1: York Times piece. Court documents described Mr Wolf's communications with 701 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 1: four reporters, including Miss Watkins, using encrypted messaging applications. It 702 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 1: appeared that the FBI was investigating how Miss Watkins learned 703 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:22,240 Speaker 1: that Russian spies in had tried to recruit Carter Page, 704 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,800 Speaker 1: a former Trump foreign policy adviser. She published an article 705 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 1: for BuzzFeed News on April seventeen about the attempted recruitment 706 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: of Mr Page, in which he confirmed the contacts. So 707 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,360 Speaker 1: this is all about the Carter Page Russell conspiracy theory, 708 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. Thank folks, Now we found the first one. 709 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,439 Speaker 1: We found the first person who was willing to risk 710 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 1: prison time assuming he's guilty. It's alleged. It's alleged, right, 711 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: we don't know, We don't know. We gotta keep that, 712 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 1: keep that out there. But here we likely have our 713 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:02,439 Speaker 1: first of many leak, the first of many leakers who 714 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: looking at this, we have to assume there'll be a 715 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: lot more. We'll have to guess that at some point 716 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:17,839 Speaker 1: they'll figure out who told the press about the Kisliak 717 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 1: Flynn call. Never mind all that, so many of these 718 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 1: stories and these these journalists look, oh, we're doing such 719 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: great work. No, they just get somebody to break the law, 720 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:28,399 Speaker 1: tell them something're not supposed to do, and then they 721 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 1: run a story with it. A lot of times. Consequences 722 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:38,360 Speaker 1: be damned. I don't care, but people are leaking against 723 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 1: this president in a way that puts them in criminal jeopardy. 724 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,360 Speaker 1: That just shows you the depth of the hatred. And 725 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 1: it shows you also how committed some of these deep 726 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 1: staters really are to the notion of stopping this Trump presidency. 727 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:57,960 Speaker 1: They'll risk go into prison. Some of them are going 728 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,719 Speaker 1: to go to prison over this. Was it worth it? 729 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 1: Was it worth running a story in BuzzFeed? You know, 730 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,719 Speaker 1: being the source for the story in BuzzFeed that put 731 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,360 Speaker 1: it out there, the carter Page, who is is harmless 732 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: by virtue of nothing else but his ineptitude. The Carter 733 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 1: Page was gonna be recruited by the by Russia. You know, 734 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 1: I really think that people are gonna have a lot 735 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,840 Speaker 1: of regrets about this. But Jeff Sessions, that's right, and 736 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 1: the d o J they're on it. They're gonna find 737 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,600 Speaker 1: more people, and we are going to find some swamp 738 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 1: figures that I think you've heard of before involved in 739 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:40,319 Speaker 1: this mark my words. I would take some guesses right now, 740 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,399 Speaker 1: but that might be a little unfair. But their names 741 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,920 Speaker 1: you've heard before on this show. Let's talk about North Korea. 742 00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:50,839 Speaker 1: Come ou up here in just a moment. Hey, it's 743 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 1: a jungle out there, right. You gotta make sure that 744 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,279 Speaker 1: you do everything you can to have the best information 745 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 1: possible on hand. When you are bringing new employees into 746 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,320 Speaker 1: your company and you're thinking about renting out of property 747 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,440 Speaker 1: that you own or engaged in other business to business transactions. 748 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,799 Speaker 1: That's where Global Verification Network becomes so important to you 749 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 1: because they are a veteran owned small business that specializes 750 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:19,480 Speaker 1: in risk mitigation and background investigations. They're headquartered in Chicago. 751 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 1: They work with startups all the way up to Fortune 752 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,880 Speaker 1: one companies. So no matter how bigger business or small 753 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,959 Speaker 1: your business, if you have any need of background investigations 754 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 1: and vetting, you should really call the folks at Global 755 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:36,399 Speaker 1: Verification Network eight seven seven six nine five eleven seventy nine. 756 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:40,319 Speaker 1: That's eight seven seven s nine, Or go to my 757 00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:45,840 Speaker 1: GVN dot com. That's my GVN dot com for Global 758 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 1: Verification Network. It is more likely than not that there 759 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 1: is a on fl possibly a full blown war with 760 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 1: an allerging nuclear power. He is not merely being cavalier 761 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,840 Speaker 1: with a threat about nuclear war. He's being cavalier in 762 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,279 Speaker 1: a way that it makes him seem demented. These are 763 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,399 Speaker 1: the messages from a person who is not well, from 764 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,040 Speaker 1: a leader who is not fit for office, after a 765 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,760 Speaker 1: nuclear holocaust or after a million dollars, And that's where 766 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 1: we are. This is not an exaggeration, probably closer to 767 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 1: an outright war with North Korea. Got a chance of war, 768 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 1: I'd say from where I sit right now, easily construe 769 00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,319 Speaker 1: what he's been saying as a declaration or at least 770 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 1: a threat of war. What is the ignition point for 771 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 1: Kim and Moon's fuse with this provrocative rhetoric. Trump's comments 772 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:44,279 Speaker 1: about nuclear weapons have experts worried he could literally inadvertently 773 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,319 Speaker 1: trigger a catastrophe. You have reason to be scared of 774 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 1: a war that could wipe out five thousand people. Now 775 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,520 Speaker 1: I just think he wants to use nukes. That's what 776 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 1: I think he feels. Dylan ever, accused the media of 777 00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:59,440 Speaker 1: being lazy when it comes to fearmongering. That's incredible. I 778 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 1: think he wants to use nukes, Thanks, Mika. Yeah, that's what. 779 00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,280 Speaker 1: He just wants to start nuking people. That's the President 780 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,839 Speaker 1: Trump wants. We got a summit coming up next week, 781 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 1: as you know, folks, a big summit, and we may 782 00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,480 Speaker 1: be closer to a deal with North Korea than at 783 00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 1: at any time and certainly recent memory. Um. But I 784 00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,319 Speaker 1: want to get someone else's perspective on this, as we 785 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:24,960 Speaker 1: are literally days away from finding out if there's an 786 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,359 Speaker 1: opening or not for the US and North Korea. We've 787 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 1: got Michael Malice with us on the line. He is 788 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 1: the host of Your Welcome and also the author of 789 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:38,799 Speaker 1: Dear Reader, the unauthorized biography of Kim Jong Michael. Great 790 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 1: to have you back, sir. Thanks. What do you make 791 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 1: of this going into the summit? What are your expectations? 792 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 1: How do you think it's going so far that the 793 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:53,719 Speaker 1: American media is just as accurate in their provocations as 794 00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,879 Speaker 1: the North Korean media. Yeah, it's it's almost like they're 795 00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:58,919 Speaker 1: cheering for nuclear war in a lot of those clips. 796 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,160 Speaker 1: It's amazing, isn't it. Like as long as Trump looks bad, 797 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:02,880 Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, so we lose a few million people 798 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 1: in North Korea. How are you supposed to get a 799 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:10,000 Speaker 1: regime that has dug in its heels for literally over 800 00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:14,360 Speaker 1: seventy years, that has no problems executing its own citizens, 801 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,760 Speaker 1: starving its own citizens, uh, killing members of the ruling elite. 802 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,480 Speaker 1: How are you supposed to get them to change their 803 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,839 Speaker 1: entire system without some brinksmanship? How are you you know, 804 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,879 Speaker 1: it's let's let's look at it this way in terms 805 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,760 Speaker 1: that anyone can understand. Buck, you and I are buddies. 806 00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 1: Let's suppose I had an issue with you. If I 807 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:37,719 Speaker 1: brought it up and escalated situations, there's a possibility it's 808 00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,279 Speaker 1: going to get heated. But if you want things to 809 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,560 Speaker 1: change in a relationship, that's the risk anyone has to take, 810 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,520 Speaker 1: whether it's selling a car or there's a problem with 811 00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,360 Speaker 1: your landlord. I mean, these people are living in the 812 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:53,359 Speaker 1: world where they've never really had to take risks other 813 00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,480 Speaker 1: than running their mouths, and there's never any consequences for them. 814 00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,120 Speaker 1: And that's why it upsets them when President Trump is 815 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:04,319 Speaker 1: actually forcing change of some kind on the Korean peninsula. 816 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,920 Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. They're acting like he's you know, 817 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,640 Speaker 1: like like in some kind of weird simulation and he's 818 00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,640 Speaker 1: in the front of computer and not getting in for anyone. 819 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:18,800 Speaker 1: He's having regular public meetings with China, Japan, and South Korea. 820 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,960 Speaker 1: We're flying they're they're flying here, but they're acting as if, 821 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,319 Speaker 1: you know, he's some kind of toddler who is not 822 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,040 Speaker 1: talking to anyone and it's just making decisions on his own, 823 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,799 Speaker 1: and yet somehows all working out. It's astonishing to hear 824 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 1: how many people who have no particular insight into the 825 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:38,520 Speaker 1: president's daily schedule, phone calls, preparation meetings with aids, and 826 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,200 Speaker 1: and officials around him who are saying he hasn't prepped enough. 827 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,319 Speaker 1: Hearing that a lot he hasn't prepped it up, what 828 00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,720 Speaker 1: does it even mean, Michael, I mean, yeah, he doesn't 829 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,240 Speaker 1: speak Korean and he's not going to before the meeting. 830 00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,040 Speaker 1: Like it just seems to me like this is something 831 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:53,919 Speaker 1: that people say when they have nothing else to say 832 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,239 Speaker 1: but they hate the president. Well, it's also the kind 833 00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,080 Speaker 1: of thing where it's like, do they really think that 834 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,919 Speaker 1: as soon as the Singapore summit ends, President Trump's gonna 835 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,920 Speaker 1: join Kim Jong un on a flight to Pyongyang and 836 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,680 Speaker 1: they personally are going to start taking apart this nuclear site. 837 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 1: I mean that that's not how it works. I mean 838 00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,879 Speaker 1: the preparation he's had, by all accounts, a great deal 839 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 1: of preparation. Uh, he's been first of all, as he's 840 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,480 Speaker 1: been president for almost two years at this point, do 841 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,920 Speaker 1: they expect only someone who has been a North Korean 842 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:26,080 Speaker 1: scholar to engage with the North Korean regime? Do we 843 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,560 Speaker 1: really think that the Chinese President g and Prime Minister 844 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,680 Speaker 1: Abbe from Japan didn't sit him down and say these 845 00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:36,000 Speaker 1: are the important points? Are they stupid too? I mean, 846 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,759 Speaker 1: this makes no sense in any level because and here's 847 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 1: why I wrote the book, and this is you know, 848 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,000 Speaker 1: I'm glad you have me on in this issue. North 849 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:46,200 Speaker 1: Korea is a very very complicated subject. No one denies this. 850 00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 1: So maybe because they feel unprepared to talk about it, 851 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,440 Speaker 1: they're they're projecting to some extent. And my rule of 852 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,880 Speaker 1: thumb is if someone doesn't know how to pronounce Kim 853 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,600 Speaker 1: Jong UN's name, they shouldn't be running them out. Now, 854 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,000 Speaker 1: do just just one I should I wanted to throw 855 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:04,759 Speaker 1: by you, Michael, what should we know about one of 856 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:09,520 Speaker 1: the differences between Kim Jong n as it affects his 857 00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:14,320 Speaker 1: persona and the ability to you know, our our ability 858 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,080 Speaker 1: in the past to try and negotiate with him versus 859 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,360 Speaker 1: Kim Jong Il. I'm sorry, Kim Jong il in the 860 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,560 Speaker 1: past versus Kim Jong owen today? You know, what should 861 00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,520 Speaker 1: we What are the differences that maybe either leave us 862 00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,400 Speaker 1: more of an opening here or less of an opening. 863 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,160 Speaker 1: That's a very, very long and nuanced question. I'll answer 864 00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 1: it as distinctly as possible. Kim Jong il took over 865 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,799 Speaker 1: for his father, the great leader, Kim Il sung. They've 866 00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,520 Speaker 1: only been three leaders of North Korea since its founding, 867 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,920 Speaker 1: and Kim Jong il was very much a function of 868 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,200 Speaker 1: the Cold War, and he also very much had to 869 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 1: fight to maintain his hold on power because in the 870 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 1: idea of in the ideology of communism, the idea that 871 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,200 Speaker 1: a son would succeed his father in this kind of 872 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:03,200 Speaker 1: monarchist fashion is complete nathema to mark societyology. But again, 873 00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,359 Speaker 1: with the falling of the Soviet Union in the late 874 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,600 Speaker 1: eighties early nineties and the collapse of the Second World Uh, 875 00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,120 Speaker 1: Kim Jong un has to deal with none of that. 876 00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,840 Speaker 1: You know, he took power in the Soviet Union was 877 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,480 Speaker 1: long gone. North Korea was already at that point highly isolated, 878 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:23,360 Speaker 1: so he with any young person, there is that possibility 879 00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:27,319 Speaker 1: to do things differently. And he also has this kind 880 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,480 Speaker 1: of leeway under North Korean law. And I'm using the 881 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,600 Speaker 1: word law or broadly because there's no real legality. It's 882 00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,400 Speaker 1: whatever the government decides at a whim. He can do 883 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 1: whatever he wants, and he can spin it however he wants. So, 884 00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,520 Speaker 1: for example, North Korea has these black markets in every 885 00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,840 Speaker 1: town where because people are no longer getting food reliably 886 00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,600 Speaker 1: from the government. And this is you know, capitalism and 887 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,800 Speaker 1: its purist but and capitalism is anathema to the duchy 888 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,359 Speaker 1: idea of the North Korean ideology, but they pretend it's 889 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,160 Speaker 1: not capitalism. So when you get to define terms however 890 00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 1: where you want, that really does give you some freedom. 891 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,520 Speaker 1: On the other hand, as we have seen in other 892 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,120 Speaker 1: such regimes which are nowhere nearest that is North Korea, 893 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,760 Speaker 1: but I'm thinking of places like Romania as a classic example, 894 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 1: Iraq and Libya. When these regimes fall, the people at 895 00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 1: the top are often personally executed. He had a rough end, 896 00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 1: yes he did, So that is a big and they're 897 00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,720 Speaker 1: very very very painfully aware of this in North Korea. 898 00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 1: So this is a very big you know, North Korea 899 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,800 Speaker 1: as a prison even for the people the very top, 900 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,680 Speaker 1: because if he does want to liberalize and make it 901 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:34,560 Speaker 1: kind of like a Singapore, people are going to very 902 00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,640 Speaker 1: quickly find out the population that they've been brainwashed lives 903 00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,360 Speaker 1: too and starved intentionally for decades, and they're not going 904 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 1: to think, oh, you're a great guy. You know, They're 905 00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:47,440 Speaker 1: going to want to exact vengeance, and fairly they're not 906 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,840 Speaker 1: gonna look at him like a Gelsten. How then, do 907 00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,239 Speaker 1: do we set up a framework? I mean, what is 908 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,719 Speaker 1: the what does a deal with North Korea that can 909 00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,880 Speaker 1: actually work in the broadest strokes, Michael, what is it 910 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,080 Speaker 1: look like? I The way I think in the broadest 911 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,399 Speaker 1: strokes should be sort of a relay race where we're 912 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:10,279 Speaker 1: handing over the baton to China, because North Korea will 913 00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:15,200 Speaker 1: always be primarily China's problem there, they're geographically approximate. Historically, 914 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:19,200 Speaker 1: there's long strong bonds between Korea and China UM, and 915 00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,720 Speaker 1: China doesn't want a US allied right on their border, 916 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,359 Speaker 1: UM and so on and so forth. It says they 917 00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,560 Speaker 1: have a very strong relationship, So a lot of it 918 00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:29,880 Speaker 1: has to be also this kind of good cop bad cop, 919 00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,400 Speaker 1: which I think President Trump and President are playing very well, 920 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 1: which is China gets to be the reasonable statesman, Trump 921 00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 1: gets to be the unreliable blow hard and that drives 922 00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,080 Speaker 1: Kim Jong un for there's the China's arms. So that 923 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:47,279 Speaker 1: is a good mechanism to move forward. And listen, if 924 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,000 Speaker 1: they want us to remove our troops from the Korean 925 00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,840 Speaker 1: peninsula and in exchange they you know, they have the 926 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,520 Speaker 1: fourth largest army in the world, even though they're South Pennsylvania. 927 00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:59,280 Speaker 1: If in exchange they demilitarized and denuclearized, spend less money 928 00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,360 Speaker 1: on the army, spend more money on food and infrastructure 929 00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:04,440 Speaker 1: and things like that, I think that would be a 930 00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:08,160 Speaker 1: win win all across. And my biggest concern always is 931 00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:13,960 Speaker 1: liberating these peacefully, liberating these twenty five million slaves. Absolutely 932 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,240 Speaker 1: I agree, and that's why I find it so honestly 933 00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:19,720 Speaker 1: discussing that people in the in the media in particular, 934 00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,520 Speaker 1: seem to be rooting for failure here quite openly, I 935 00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:26,040 Speaker 1: think rooting for failure and and buck How are human 936 00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:30,719 Speaker 1: rights a partisan issue? It is mind boggling to me 937 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:36,439 Speaker 1: when we have literal concentration camps where people are dismembered 938 00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:40,080 Speaker 1: men are sent into minds and they never see sunlight again, 939 00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,080 Speaker 1: and their skin starts to slough off. These are things 940 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:46,560 Speaker 1: that are unimaginable to us in the West. Any kind 941 00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 1: of sliver of hope we have to hold onto. If 942 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:53,200 Speaker 1: you want to hear President Trump, go ahead, pay President Trump. 943 00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,880 Speaker 1: Pretend he's the puppet of the Japanese and the Chinese 944 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:57,680 Speaker 1: in the South Koreans. If that's what it takes for 945 00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,279 Speaker 1: you to suade your conscious that you're rooting for happy 946 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 1: ending to this nightmare worst country on Earth.

Oh my, they're very upset at Trump 1000 01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,840 Speaker 1: about this, or I should say, they're using this as 1001 01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:23,720 Speaker 1: a as a means to try and further create this 1002 01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:31,160 Speaker 1: narrative of you know, Trump is in Russia's pocket. Uh, 1003 01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,040 Speaker 1: Russia has something on Trump. And you keep hearing this stuff, 1004 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:37,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, what what are they talking about? You mean 1005 01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:41,840 Speaker 1: that the Trump who is willing to do things that 1006 01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:45,360 Speaker 1: even Obama would not do, like give anti tank missiles, 1007 01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:50,800 Speaker 1: javelin anti tech missiles and and UH sniper rifles to 1008 01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,840 Speaker 1: the Ukrainian military as they can fight against Russian separatists 1009 01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:59,960 Speaker 1: or Russian backed separatists. That that in the pocket Trump. 1010 01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,240 Speaker 1: It's amazing how much the shift has occurred. It used 1011 01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,120 Speaker 1: to be pretty clear most folks had an understanding of 1012 01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:12,600 Speaker 1: the fact that if you you know, there's certain countries 1013 01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:14,400 Speaker 1: that you can try and just isolate and cut off. 1014 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,480 Speaker 1: And for example, we've tried that with North Korea, although 1015 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:22,000 Speaker 1: we've had limited success, because cutting off an entire country 1016 01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:23,760 Speaker 1: from the rest of the world and preventing it from 1017 01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,000 Speaker 1: being a problem is a lot easier said than done. 1018 01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:28,880 Speaker 1: But do we try that to some extent with Iran. 1019 01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:34,400 Speaker 1: Russia is too big to ignore, and the purpose of 1020 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,840 Speaker 1: the sanctions that have put and put been put in play, 1021 01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:41,240 Speaker 1: stretching back to Russia's annexation of crime is to get 1022 01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:46,000 Speaker 1: a change in Russian behavior. The additional sanctions that have 1023 01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:48,400 Speaker 1: to do with the election interference is also supposed to 1024 01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,800 Speaker 1: be a change in Russian behavior. Although I would note, 1025 01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,600 Speaker 1: how are the Russians I'm just playing devil's advocate here 1026 01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,160 Speaker 1: for a second, how are the Russians exactly supposed to 1027 01:01:57,160 --> 01:02:01,920 Speaker 1: get the election interference related sanction is turned off? How 1028 01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,240 Speaker 1: does that happen? Really? Think about that one for a second. 1029 01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:08,320 Speaker 1: People will say, oh, buck, they're still interfering. Really, we 1030 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:11,840 Speaker 1: know that top down, the Kremlin is telling people to 1031 01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:15,960 Speaker 1: interfere in our upcoming midterms. We you know, we we 1032 01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,600 Speaker 1: might have seen some preparations somewhere. There could be some 1033 01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,440 Speaker 1: you know, intelligence collection that leads us to believe that 1034 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,240 Speaker 1: they want to do that, But we have sanctions in 1035 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,120 Speaker 1: place against them for the election interference before. And I 1036 01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,960 Speaker 1: would just note that it doesn't seem to me like 1037 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,400 Speaker 1: that's an easy thing for them, even if they wanted 1038 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:39,640 Speaker 1: to to turn around, because all it takes is some 1039 01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:44,280 Speaker 1: Russian hackers or some skilled Russian you know, cyber warriors 1040 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:46,520 Speaker 1: of one kind or another, to decide that they're going 1041 01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:48,320 Speaker 1: to engage in some kind of hack of the election, 1042 01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,480 Speaker 1: that they are going to make our lives more difficult 1043 01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,840 Speaker 1: come election time. And it could very easily be blamed 1044 01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,640 Speaker 1: on Russia because the media has created this environment where 1045 01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:02,160 Speaker 1: Russia is somehow a much bigger concern for US than China, 1046 01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,440 Speaker 1: even though the Russian economy is much smaller than the 1047 01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:11,040 Speaker 1: Chinese economy, the Russian military is much smaller than Chinese military, 1048 01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:17,600 Speaker 1: and our geo, our long term geo political, uh near 1049 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:24,840 Speaker 1: pure rival is China. It is not Russia that said Russia, Well, 1050 01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,680 Speaker 1: it isn't our our primary challenger on the global stage. 1051 01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:29,640 Speaker 1: It is too big to ignore. And that's why when 1052 01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:37,280 Speaker 1: Trump says that they should bring Russia back into the 1053 01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:41,360 Speaker 1: fold on this um, I just think it's I think 1054 01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,520 Speaker 1: it's a cheap shot, and a lot of people haven't 1055 01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,800 Speaker 1: taken it's a cheap shot to say, oh, it's because 1056 01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,680 Speaker 1: the Russians have something on him. I think it's a 1057 01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:52,800 Speaker 1: cheap shot to say, oh, well, the reason that Trump 1058 01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:56,160 Speaker 1: would bring the Russians back into the G seven, which 1059 01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:59,440 Speaker 1: is just a way of having countries meet and a 1060 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:02,000 Speaker 1: lot of these summits. And I'll tell you this. Other 1061 01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,120 Speaker 1: people was say, oh no, these summits are so important, 1062 01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:07,320 Speaker 1: and a lot of these summits. It's just an excuse 1063 01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:10,840 Speaker 1: for government bureaucrats. And you know the entourages of the 1064 01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:14,120 Speaker 1: various premiers to get together and spend a lot of 1065 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:19,600 Speaker 1: their their subjects money and hang out with other important 1066 01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:24,160 Speaker 1: government bureaucrats and make decisions about your life. But general, 1067 01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,080 Speaker 1: how often do they come back from someone you're like, Wow, 1068 01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:28,360 Speaker 1: they got that deal going. That's going to really change 1069 01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:32,240 Speaker 1: my life. Answers is not. It doesn't really happen that way. 1070 01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:35,760 Speaker 1: But Trump wanted to bring them back into the G seven. 1071 01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:37,360 Speaker 1: Is also, by the way he spoke a little bit 1072 01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:43,440 Speaker 1: about trade and terrorists play clip nine. All of these 1073 01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:47,280 Speaker 1: countries have been taking advantage of the United States un trade. 1074 01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:52,160 Speaker 1: You're so ware Canada, Georgia, Gerry farmers two hundred and 1075 01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:56,880 Speaker 1: seventy terris. We don't judge them, or if we do 1076 01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:01,840 Speaker 1: it like a tiny percentage. We have massive trade deficit 1077 01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:06,920 Speaker 1: with almost every country. We will straighten that out. I 1078 01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:08,960 Speaker 1: don't forget, and I'll tell you what it's what I do. 1079 01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,000 Speaker 1: It won't even be hard, and in the end we'll 1080 01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,880 Speaker 1: all get along. But they understand that, you know, they're 1081 01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,320 Speaker 1: trying to act like, well, we fought with you in 1082 01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:20,480 Speaker 1: the wars, which they don't mention the fact that they 1083 01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:25,040 Speaker 1: have trade barriers against our farmers. They don't mention the 1084 01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:32,000 Speaker 1: fact that they're charging almost tariffs. You know, it's it's 1085 01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:36,000 Speaker 1: just a function of logic at this point. Everyone they 1086 01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:40,320 Speaker 1: tell us the conventional wisdom is tariffs are bad, tariffs 1087 01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:43,880 Speaker 1: are attacks, and then there is a pass, a pass 1088 01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:47,360 Speaker 1: of expenses on the consumer. That that's true. But tariffs 1089 01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:52,120 Speaker 1: are attacks, they're they're a bad idea, but other countries 1090 01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:55,680 Speaker 1: have them, but we shouldn't respond to the other countries 1091 01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:58,160 Speaker 1: that have them. No one ever stops to say, well, 1092 01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 1: why do other countries have them if they're such an 1093 01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:03,960 Speaker 1: obviously bad idea, If there's no purpose to tariffs, if 1094 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:07,000 Speaker 1: it's just self defeating, then why and how are we 1095 01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:09,479 Speaker 1: supposed to respond to the countries that's that decide that 1096 01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:13,440 Speaker 1: they're going to have tariffs. Despite the fact that we're 1097 01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:15,080 Speaker 1: always told, oh, it's such a bad idea. You don't 1098 01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:18,360 Speaker 1: have tariffs. You don't have tariffs. Yeah, I just want 1099 01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:21,520 Speaker 1: to answer that simple question. Yeah, I'm just sitting here 1100 01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,880 Speaker 1: asking questions. I just want to know I do. I do, indeed, 1101 01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:28,120 Speaker 1: But the media is full of jerk's clowns and imbeciles 1102 01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,440 Speaker 1: and a lot of very nasty people with very sharp 1103 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,760 Speaker 1: elbows and very high self regard. We'll talk a bit 1104 01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:37,000 Speaker 1: about where things stand with the M s M, the 1105 01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,640 Speaker 1: mainstream media these days when it comes to Trump, and 1106 01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:42,720 Speaker 1: then even when it comes to yours. Truly, that and 1107 01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:59,240 Speaker 1: more is coming up in just a moment, so that 1108 01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,680 Speaker 1: he hadn't been really preparing for the summit with Kim 1109 01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,240 Speaker 1: Jong own, and then he defended that by saying to 1110 01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,439 Speaker 1: reporters as he was leaving the White House earlier today, 1111 01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:09,600 Speaker 1: while I've been preparing for this all my life. Of course, Wolf, 1112 01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:12,200 Speaker 1: as we know, before Donald Trump became President of the 1113 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:14,720 Speaker 1: United States, he was in the real estate business. So 1114 01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:18,240 Speaker 1: it's difficult to imagine how much preparation he was doing 1115 01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:21,640 Speaker 1: during his real estate days for pulling off some kind 1116 01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:24,760 Speaker 1: of agreement that would denuclearize North Korea. I'll tell you 1117 01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:28,560 Speaker 1: a couple of things. First, of all the hypocrisy is 1118 01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:32,200 Speaker 1: astounding because I know someone who spoke to Donald Trump 1119 01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:35,360 Speaker 1: recently about life in the White House, and Donald Trump's 1120 01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,640 Speaker 1: biggest complaint was that he's not allowed to watch porn 1121 01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:42,680 Speaker 1: in the White House. So there you go, there's a 1122 01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:45,120 Speaker 1: little bit of news for you. He's upset that he 1123 01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:47,760 Speaker 1: can't watch porn in the White House and they have 1124 01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:51,840 Speaker 1: those you know, numbers blocked to, which must be a disappointment. 1125 01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:54,160 Speaker 1: I'm not really sure, but that's it just sort of 1126 01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:59,520 Speaker 1: flies in the face of all of this journalists everybody there. 1127 01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:01,200 Speaker 1: You go, a couple, a couple of a couple of 1128 01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:06,920 Speaker 1: big je journalists letting loose on air. There a Costa 1129 01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:10,320 Speaker 1: from CNN among among the worst defenders of the pseudo 1130 01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,800 Speaker 1: journalists out there, And uh, I love to We're just 1131 01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:15,560 Speaker 1: bringing the facts. Like they all sit around, they get 1132 01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,080 Speaker 1: to ask some questions and then they try to get 1133 01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:19,960 Speaker 1: some gossip from sources that will tell us some about 1134 01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:24,719 Speaker 1: the White House. They act like there, you know, uh, 1135 01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,639 Speaker 1: publishing the Pentagon papers all the time, which the whole 1136 01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:29,680 Speaker 1: other conversations whether that was a good idea or not, 1137 01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:35,680 Speaker 1: Oh man, it's pretty funny. Um, you know, A Costa here. 1138 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:39,280 Speaker 1: His whole thing is he's saying he's engaged in a 1139 01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:42,040 Speaker 1: form of up to literalism. That will come up again 1140 01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:43,320 Speaker 1: in a few minutes. And I tell you about another 1141 01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:47,160 Speaker 1: exchange to have with one of the revered elitist journalists 1142 01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,640 Speaker 1: today on the twitters. Not that I wanted to, but 1143 01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:51,080 Speaker 1: you know, people come after the book. I don't know, 1144 01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:52,800 Speaker 1: people like to hate on the buck sometimes from the 1145 01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:55,960 Speaker 1: elite media. Such a nice guy, and I don't really understand, 1146 01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:59,560 Speaker 1: and I really don't say like super inflammatory stuff I 1147 01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:02,280 Speaker 1: probably should. Like if I just showed up every day, 1148 01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:05,120 Speaker 1: I was just like, the tyranny is here, Like the 1149 01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:08,160 Speaker 1: deep state media is destroying the country, like every day. 1150 01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:12,040 Speaker 1: I feel like, you know that has an audience for sure. Um. 1151 01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:14,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I do think that the deep state is dangerous, 1152 01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:17,240 Speaker 1: is damaged in the country, and I think the media 1153 01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:21,040 Speaker 1: has has essentially engaged in self immolation, at least when 1154 01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:24,479 Speaker 1: it comes to its credibility. But I try to put 1155 01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:28,120 Speaker 1: a little nuance into some things. But what a constant 1156 01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:29,600 Speaker 1: of there is. He goes, oh, Trump, Sis, he's been 1157 01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:31,120 Speaker 1: preparing for this his whole life. He's like, I don't 1158 01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:35,759 Speaker 1: see how he could be preparing Forby, It's like, dude, 1159 01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:40,120 Speaker 1: he means that he's been preparing for this moment his life. 1160 01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:42,920 Speaker 1: Like the same way that when somebody says to you, 1161 01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:45,120 Speaker 1: you know, are you ready before you go out to 1162 01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:46,760 Speaker 1: give a big speech or something. If you turn to 1163 01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:50,000 Speaker 1: them and say, you know, I was born ready, you 1164 01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,640 Speaker 1: don't actually mean that you came out and like, you know, 1165 01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:55,280 Speaker 1: the placenta and the birth and all that stuff, and 1166 01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:58,000 Speaker 1: you were you were ready for this. That's not what 1167 01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:01,280 Speaker 1: you're saying. You're saying, know, yeah, like I'm I'm ready 1168 01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,120 Speaker 1: to go, or you know, are you ready for you know, 1169 01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:05,519 Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this my whole life. No, you were, not, 1170 01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:09,720 Speaker 1: in fact waiting for that moment for the entirety of 1171 01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:16,040 Speaker 1: your life. You are someone who you know is excited 1172 01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:19,120 Speaker 1: about the opportunity you're about to have. Right, But I mean, 1173 01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:22,160 Speaker 1: so is a Costa Is he just is he not smart? 1174 01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:25,680 Speaker 1: Or is he just being a jerk? I don't you 1175 01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:27,880 Speaker 1: can answer that for me. I don't know. It could 1176 01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:32,000 Speaker 1: go either way. And then with Mika, I won't even 1177 01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:34,439 Speaker 1: pose that question. I'll just leave it. I'll just yeah, 1178 01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,880 Speaker 1: I'll just put it this way. She says, he's upset 1179 01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:39,360 Speaker 1: he can't watch point of White House. You know, she's 1180 01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:44,519 Speaker 1: so smug and smarmy about Trump now a year ago, no, 1181 01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:47,680 Speaker 1: make that two years ago, when she could have you 1182 01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:53,759 Speaker 1: been taking a determined stand against Trump, stand for journalistic ethics, ethics, 1183 01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:58,120 Speaker 1: you know, stand for truth or you know whatever. All 1184 01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:00,120 Speaker 1: all these things and all these journalists are there are 1185 01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:02,280 Speaker 1: martyrs in the era of Trump. It's such a joke. 1186 01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:07,519 Speaker 1: It's such a such a complete the buckle. But she 1187 01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:11,080 Speaker 1: was very cozy within that, Mika and Trump and I'm sorry, 1188 01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:13,960 Speaker 1: Mica and Joe and troll buddies, and then they had 1189 01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:16,840 Speaker 1: kind of a falling out. And now you know, it's 1190 01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:19,679 Speaker 1: a lot of like you know, high school kids stuff 1191 01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:22,160 Speaker 1: with oh, what gossip can we tell about Trump? And 1192 01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:26,280 Speaker 1: how he's so he's so grotesque, he's so clownish. He 1193 01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:28,720 Speaker 1: can't watch porn in the White House, they're saying now, 1194 01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,160 Speaker 1: and that's that's a big thing for him. You know, 1195 01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,439 Speaker 1: Trump may have said that, I'm gonna say that, Trump 1196 01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:37,080 Speaker 1: may have said that, He's I guarantee you it was 1197 01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:41,040 Speaker 1: a joke, folks. But this, uh, you know, this this 1198 01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:44,080 Speaker 1: extreme literalism now because they're, oh, we're the truth tellers, 1199 01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:47,360 Speaker 1: were the truth tellers. This has become a thing. This 1200 01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:51,080 Speaker 1: is a trend I have noticed now. So now they 1201 01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:56,360 Speaker 1: fact check opinions as though their facts. Now they fact check. Uh, 1202 01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,800 Speaker 1: you know people that are are are making jokes. Look 1203 01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:02,719 Speaker 1: what they did, I mean Mike with Sean Hannity earlier 1204 01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:07,280 Speaker 1: in the week. Yes, technically Sean said that, you know, 1205 01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:09,960 Speaker 1: they should destroy into that people should destroy evidence like Hillary. 1206 01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,240 Speaker 1: He was laughing and it was a joke to anybody 1207 01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:17,040 Speaker 1: with you know, ten i Q points to put together. 1208 01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:19,800 Speaker 1: But there were correct me if I'm wrong. A lot 1209 01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:21,679 Speaker 1: of media outlets, a lot of people in the media 1210 01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:24,479 Speaker 1: who were like Hannity, you're giving you know, advice to 1211 01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:29,160 Speaker 1: He wasn't giving it. Am I missing something? Now you'reright 1212 01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:30,840 Speaker 1: on point? And how many of those people do you 1213 01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:35,519 Speaker 1: actually think heard him say that or just read a headline. Well, see, 1214 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:38,160 Speaker 1: that's the other part of it, right. They are literalists 1215 01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:41,200 Speaker 1: on our side. Every word has to be parsed, every 1216 01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:43,679 Speaker 1: word in anything that they're trying to get down in. Dude, 1217 01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:45,400 Speaker 1: oh you said this, but it's really this, you know, 1218 01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:52,080 Speaker 1: you said red and it's chartreuse liar whoa settle down? Right? 1219 01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,960 Speaker 1: Sean is actually making a joke. That is that no 1220 01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,000 Speaker 1: one who listens to it could look any of the 1221 01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:00,200 Speaker 1: face and says anything other than a joke. And still 1222 01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:02,080 Speaker 1: they still jump they jump on his case. I mean 1223 01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,960 Speaker 1: a few people do, some of the media. It's just 1224 01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:07,320 Speaker 1: it's just ridiculous. But with Miki here, what I bet 1225 01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,720 Speaker 1: happened is Trump made a joke because you know, he's 1226 01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,400 Speaker 1: a guy's guy and he says things a certain way. 1227 01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,200 Speaker 1: I bet he made a joke about how he can't 1228 01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,880 Speaker 1: watch porn in the White House, and somebody relayed that 1229 01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:20,960 Speaker 1: as a joke, and Mika is like, well I heard 1230 01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:23,559 Speaker 1: that Trump says that he's upset that he can't watch 1231 01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:28,640 Speaker 1: porn in the White House? Well was he? Was he 1232 01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,360 Speaker 1: serious about it? That's one part of this, And then 1233 01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:34,000 Speaker 1: the other part of it is why are you telling 1234 01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,320 Speaker 1: us this? I mean, you know what, what? What is that? 1235 01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:41,040 Speaker 1: The thing? What? The percentage of American adult males who 1236 01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:44,760 Speaker 1: watched pornography is very high. I will tell you that 1237 01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:48,679 Speaker 1: actually years ago. I made the conscious decision A long 1238 01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:51,320 Speaker 1: time ago. Now I don't know, it's been a while. 1239 01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,559 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say to to a shoe porn. I'm not 1240 01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,080 Speaker 1: saying like when the when the boobies come out on 1241 01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:59,120 Speaker 1: Game of Thrones, I run and high or something. I'm not. 1242 01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:00,880 Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I'm not a monk, you know. 1243 01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:04,519 Speaker 1: I I mean, I am the guy who is somewhat 1244 01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:07,800 Speaker 1: disappointed about the Miss America bathing suit competition decision. Like, 1245 01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:11,200 Speaker 1: I'm not pretending that I don't you know, I'm not 1246 01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:15,080 Speaker 1: somebody who will occasionally ogl what is on the TV screen. 1247 01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:18,320 Speaker 1: But I do think that. Then this is a a 1248 01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,800 Speaker 1: whole other part of the conversation. But as a guy, 1249 01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:26,479 Speaker 1: I can tell you you appreciate, uh, you appreciate your 1250 01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:33,400 Speaker 1: intimate life more. You appreciate female beauty around you, especially 1251 01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:37,000 Speaker 1: the female beauty of the person that you are romantically with. 1252 01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:40,360 Speaker 1: You appreciate that more. If you are not watching five 1253 01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:44,639 Speaker 1: hours of porn today, you I'm you. It is a 1254 01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:49,200 Speaker 1: desensitization that occurs over time. I'm telling you, guys who 1255 01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:52,960 Speaker 1: are listening. If you're like, you know, well, whatever age 1256 01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:55,400 Speaker 1: you may be, if if this is something that you 1257 01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,840 Speaker 1: if porn is laying a role in your life, get 1258 01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:00,400 Speaker 1: rid of it. Get rid of it the way you'd 1259 01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:02,880 Speaker 1: get rid of like a bad of a bad habit. 1260 01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,439 Speaker 1: You won't look back I'm telling you you won't look 1261 01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:11,320 Speaker 1: back and you will realize that it has it has 1262 01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:13,880 Speaker 1: a negative effect. I don't. I'm not somebody's Oh, pornography 1263 01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:16,240 Speaker 1: is the reason that we like the society is coming apart. 1264 01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:19,240 Speaker 1: Although I know some very smart people who make who 1265 01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:22,000 Speaker 1: makes some pretty compelling arguments about that. I'm just saying, 1266 01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:28,400 Speaker 1: for your own, for your own day to day purposes. Uh. 1267 01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:32,360 Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of like if you had if 1268 01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:34,360 Speaker 1: you know, if you have access to let let's say 1269 01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:36,640 Speaker 1: you have access to an entire to a store just 1270 01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:39,160 Speaker 1: full of sugary candy, right, just like a candy also 1271 01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:42,479 Speaker 1: known as a candy store, and you're just eating, eating, 1272 01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:45,760 Speaker 1: eating candy, candy, candy all the time, right, and then 1273 01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:49,000 Speaker 1: somebody shows up and you have a chocolate cake that 1274 01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:52,000 Speaker 1: is like homemade and delicious and perfect. If you have 1275 01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:54,640 Speaker 1: been every day leading up to that three meals a 1276 01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:58,760 Speaker 1: day stuffing your face with starbursts and you know what else? 1277 01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:01,920 Speaker 1: Did you know? Twizzlers and all this junk I used 1278 01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:04,280 Speaker 1: to eat sometimes when my parents weren't looking as a kid, 1279 01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:07,719 Speaker 1: you will appreciate that chocolate cake glass. I think, Mike, 1280 01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:09,880 Speaker 1: is this analogy? Am I am? My is this making 1281 01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:12,840 Speaker 1: sense or is it too weird? Okay, I'm making sense, 1282 01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:15,680 Speaker 1: thank you. So Mika does not have to tell us 1283 01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:19,519 Speaker 1: about the president's alleged desire to watch adults entertainment in 1284 01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:21,479 Speaker 1: the White House. I bet it was a joke that 1285 01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:23,759 Speaker 1: if she heard this at all, if it isn't actually 1286 01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:26,000 Speaker 1: just fake news, I bet it's a joke. And it's 1287 01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:27,519 Speaker 1: quite clear that when it comes to Trump, the media 1288 01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:31,360 Speaker 1: cannot take a joke. Speaking of which, uh so, I 1289 01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:33,479 Speaker 1: had a little bit of a little Twitter exchange a lot. 1290 01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:34,600 Speaker 1: I know a lot of you are on Twitter, but 1291 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:36,320 Speaker 1: I'll kind of explain to you how it went today. 1292 01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:37,599 Speaker 1: I mean, this is just the stuff when I say 1293 01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:40,639 Speaker 1: to myself, maybe I just want Twitter where I can 1294 01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:43,280 Speaker 1: talk to all of you.

But but one of them did today, 1297 01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:56,680 Speaker 1: and I think it's a lot.

Some people like to be very and 1328 01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:08,840 Speaker 1: I mean media folks, right. I'm not talking about just 1329 01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:11,280 Speaker 1: whoever can get a Twitter account. I mean people that 1330 01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:15,240 Speaker 1: are blue the blue check Twitter, right, the public person Twitter. 1331 01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:20,120 Speaker 1: Sometimes people can be a bit snappy, a bit rude, 1332 01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:23,400 Speaker 1: a little bit unfair, and honestly just just kind of nasty. 1333 01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:27,000 Speaker 1: So you know, this is where I have to tell 1334 01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:30,320 Speaker 1: you that I had a yet another It's so interesting. 1335 01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:35,320 Speaker 1: Mr Tapper over at CNN seems to like to uh 1336 01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:39,679 Speaker 1: goad me on Twitter uh and and never just debate 1337 01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:43,360 Speaker 1: back and forth the issue, but always likes to remember 1338 01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:46,840 Speaker 1: this is just about tweets, right, Say someone's lying, say 1339 01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:49,879 Speaker 1: that I I someone's being dishonest and I'm being dishonest. 1340 01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:53,439 Speaker 1: I'm like, and I'm like, the tweets stand for themselves. Man. 1341 01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:55,960 Speaker 1: It's a. It's a public It's essentially a public record 1342 01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:58,479 Speaker 1: of somebody's thoughts in real time that they decided to 1343 01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:02,240 Speaker 1: share with with who, you know, whomever wants to get 1344 01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:03,960 Speaker 1: on the internet. But I just think this was this 1345 01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:08,320 Speaker 1: was very instructive about why why does the media um 1346 01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:10,720 Speaker 1: turned so many people off? Why are they so distrusted? 1347 01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,240 Speaker 1: Why are they more distrusted now than ever before? Why 1348 01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:17,160 Speaker 1: does Donald Trump's statement about fake news not only resonate 1349 01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:21,960 Speaker 1: with so many people, but also, uh, why is it 1350 01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:27,080 Speaker 1: that they're so sensitive about it? And I have to say, Uh, 1351 01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:31,640 Speaker 1: this I think is a pretty good version of it. 1352 01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:34,040 Speaker 1: I think this, this gives you a sense to a 1353 01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:36,720 Speaker 1: sense of what the problems are here. So the New 1354 01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:41,880 Speaker 1: York Times wrote that the Justice Department seized a as 1355 01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:44,200 Speaker 1: we've been discussing, right, they seized a reporter's phone and 1356 01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:47,479 Speaker 1: email records. It's first known use of such an aggressive 1357 01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:50,680 Speaker 1: tactic under President Trump. And I just fired after this one. 1358 01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:52,960 Speaker 1: Obama did this. The press was willing to overlook it. 1359 01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:55,679 Speaker 1: They made it okay for Obama because he was so perfect. 1360 01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:59,719 Speaker 1: Press won't overlook it now. But guess what, too late now. 1361 01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:03,720 Speaker 1: I am obviously, as somebody who works in media and 1362 01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:07,040 Speaker 1: also used to work in the intelligence community aware of 1363 01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:14,040 Speaker 1: the media's coverage, meaning that there was coverage of the 1364 01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:21,880 Speaker 1: various spying iterations by the Obama administration that specifically targeted journalists. Right, 1365 01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:25,400 Speaker 1: I am obviously very aware of that. Now it's Twitter, 1366 01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:28,360 Speaker 1: at shorthand at short form. I get all that, But 1367 01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:35,000 Speaker 1: immediately I got a a very a very nasty response 1368 01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:37,280 Speaker 1: by I wasn't tweeting at Jake Taber. I don't care, 1369 01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:40,320 Speaker 1: you know, to me, I mean, Jake Tapper. You could 1370 01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:42,680 Speaker 1: replace him with fifteen other guys at CNN tomorrow. The 1371 01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:45,840 Speaker 1: ratings wouldn't change, and and I wouldn't care what I mean, 1372 01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:51,280 Speaker 1: it's his his opinion is not relevant to me, but 1373 01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:54,880 Speaker 1: his opinion of me. It's something he decided to to 1374 01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:59,400 Speaker 1: share in a particularly aggressive fashion. I'm trying to actually 1375 01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:01,160 Speaker 1: pull up the whole because this made it on the media. 1376 01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:03,920 Speaker 1: I'd folks, this this guy picked up as a separate story. 1377 01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:07,080 Speaker 1: So I said that, and then you get, yeah, Jake Tapper, 1378 01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:12,760 Speaker 1: Jake Tapper correct CI analysts proclaiming media ignored Obama press crackdown. 1379 01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:15,719 Speaker 1: So sick of the lying, that's what, so Jake said, 1380 01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:17,680 Speaker 1: So sick of the lying in response to me, and 1381 01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:20,200 Speaker 1: then shared a bunch of his own because he's the 1382 01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:23,880 Speaker 1: media apparently, I mean, the media is a lot, right, 1383 01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,680 Speaker 1: it's a very sweeping judgment. I understand there's really you 1384 01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:29,519 Speaker 1: could be engaged in a bit of sophistry and say 1385 01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,719 Speaker 1: there's no such thing as the media position on anything, 1386 01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:37,120 Speaker 1: which is kind of technically true but also useless, right, 1387 01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:40,920 Speaker 1: because there's clearly a a focus, a preponderance on or 1388 01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:46,120 Speaker 1: a focus, and a tendency preponders the wrong word for 1389 01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:50,280 Speaker 1: the media to take things a certain way. Um, So 1390 01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:52,360 Speaker 1: I have to say, I think this is so fascinating 1391 01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:54,160 Speaker 1: because you know, then I get so he's called it 1392 01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:57,599 Speaker 1: a lie. I responded to him, and this was all 1393 01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:01,320 Speaker 1: in in in real time. I responded to him by overlook, 1394 01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:04,040 Speaker 1: I'm making a judgment about the intensity of the coverage 1395 01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:07,320 Speaker 1: and the outrage over the tactic. I'm obviously not saying 1396 01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:10,960 Speaker 1: nobody covered it. How would I have known about it 1397 01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:13,400 Speaker 1: if it wasn't through the news? But by all means 1398 01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:15,439 Speaker 1: use up too literalism is an opening to call it 1399 01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:17,559 Speaker 1: a lie. And then Jake says that's not how words work, 1400 01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:19,439 Speaker 1: and I said, that's really cute. Jake or that's really 1401 01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:22,320 Speaker 1: you know, funny or whatever. Uh, he's very nasty to 1402 01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:25,080 Speaker 1: people on Twitter. He has this reputation. He does this 1403 01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:28,519 Speaker 1: all the time, and I think it's because fundamentally he's 1404 01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:30,519 Speaker 1: a part of a lie. Do you want to talk 1405 01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:33,760 Speaker 1: about lying? And the lie is that CNN is an 1406 01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:37,200 Speaker 1: objective news source, which if he was asked he would 1407 01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:42,280 Speaker 1: say it is. So he is living a lie every day. 1408 01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:47,040 Speaker 1: He is fundamentally a part of a lie by being 1409 01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:49,920 Speaker 1: a part of an organization that claims to be unbiased 1410 01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:54,040 Speaker 1: and fair. Now, on the merits of this specific issue 1411 01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:59,800 Speaker 1: of whether they were willing to overlook Obama and this 1412 01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:01,840 Speaker 1: buying that occurdenter has watched, I want to make it 1413 01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:06,120 Speaker 1: very clear that, yeah, I could have said largely overlooked. 1414 01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:08,680 Speaker 1: There's some way, you know, if I was trying to 1415 01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:13,120 Speaker 1: be focused in on precision where nobody could quibble with me, 1416 01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:16,600 Speaker 1: I could do that. But is the position that the 1417 01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:18,240 Speaker 1: medium By the way, I got a whole pile on 1418 01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:20,640 Speaker 1: people in New York Times, Washington Post. Oh, we covered it, 1419 01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:23,439 Speaker 1: we covered it. Yeah, Really, where are the editorials asking 1420 01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:27,040 Speaker 1: for Eric Holder's resignation for seizing the phone records of 1421 01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:29,800 Speaker 1: journalists for listing James Rosen of Fox News as an 1422 01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:33,240 Speaker 1: unindicted co conspirator. Oh, that's right, it was Fox. Do 1423 01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:34,960 Speaker 1: we think they were as upset about it when it 1424 01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:36,719 Speaker 1: was at Fox? And they would have been in other places, 1425 01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:40,240 Speaker 1: because you know journalism. They point me to all these 1426 01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:43,559 Speaker 1: editorials they say, a troubling precedent for the obamaministration. The 1427 01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:49,519 Speaker 1: Obama administration was was effectively preparing to gut or in 1428 01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:55,840 Speaker 1: the process of gutting national security reporting overall. You'd think 1429 01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:57,360 Speaker 1: that people who make a living doing that would be 1430 01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:01,000 Speaker 1: more than just like publishing an editorial here and there. Yeah, 1431 01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:03,000 Speaker 1: we don't think. We don't think Obama should do this. 1432 01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:05,479 Speaker 1: Do you think one journalist changed his mind about Obama 1433 01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:09,439 Speaker 1: and the abaministration based on this? No? But you see, 1434 01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:14,000 Speaker 1: my my problem is, folks, and I appreciate Tapper trying 1435 01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:16,479 Speaker 1: to correct me on that correct me as media it says, 1436 01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:19,160 Speaker 1: by the way, media, I also just makes it even 1437 01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:24,320 Speaker 1: worse by saying that I I ignored. I never said ignored. 1438 01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:29,080 Speaker 1: I said overlook. But oh, overlook doesn't mean that you're 1439 01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:32,799 Speaker 1: unaware of it, right, I mean overlook in the context 1440 01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:34,519 Speaker 1: that I was using it is to say, you know, 1441 01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:36,200 Speaker 1: they were like, Yeah, it's not that big a deal. 1442 01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:40,519 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they never mentioned it, because that's crazy 1443 01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:43,400 Speaker 1: because obviously I could only know about the story for 1444 01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:47,519 Speaker 1: media coverage. So it's a it's a nonsensical point. But 1445 01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:51,040 Speaker 1: it brings me back to the center of the wheelhouse here, 1446 01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:56,360 Speaker 1: which is but see, CNN is just peddling a falsehood 1447 01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:58,439 Speaker 1: every day by pretending that they are not in an 1448 01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:03,560 Speaker 1: organization devoted to the distry auction of the Trump administration too. Hopefully, 1449 01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:07,800 Speaker 1: if they have their way making Donald Trump lose his 1450 01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:11,120 Speaker 1: presidency and also maybe go to prison people around him 1451 01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:13,680 Speaker 1: go to prison, they would cheer. I'm sure if they 1452 01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:15,800 Speaker 1: could get you know, Jared or Vonka or somebody brought 1453 01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:20,280 Speaker 1: up on some kind of uh lame mickey mouse muller, 1454 01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:23,720 Speaker 1: go into the mat kind of charges, they'd be very 1455 01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:27,360 Speaker 1: happy with that. And so that's why I think there's 1456 01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:31,280 Speaker 1: this heightened sensitivity because people realize, Okay, let's quibble with 1457 01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:35,679 Speaker 1: my language over the double standard of Obama versus Trump 1458 01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:38,400 Speaker 1: when it comes to the media's coverage of their spying. 1459 01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:41,360 Speaker 1: Let's do that. By the way, it's not just the 1460 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:47,400 Speaker 1: spying that Obama did that they glossed over. There we go. 1461 01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:49,800 Speaker 1: That's what I said. That that they that they briefly 1462 01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:53,559 Speaker 1: touched on in some news stories that they quickly forgot about. 1463 01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:56,599 Speaker 1: There wasn't some big narrative. There were no journalists who 1464 01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:58,559 Speaker 1: were saying, oh, you know, we we really need to 1465 01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:01,479 Speaker 1: rethink this whole oba I'm a love fest that we've 1466 01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:05,599 Speaker 1: been having. Come on, right, that's that's not what happened. 1467 01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:07,439 Speaker 1: We all know that's what happened. But even beyond that, 1468 01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:10,040 Speaker 1: you've got journalists that are running stories every day now 1469 01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:14,160 Speaker 1: about how US citizens like Carter Page can, with the 1470 01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:21,200 Speaker 1: discretion of the national security industry, lose all their all 1471 01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:25,439 Speaker 1: their Fourth Amendment rights. Right, they can just pick up 1472 01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:28,640 Speaker 1: their emails, listen whatever they want. Journalists are fine with 1473 01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:31,000 Speaker 1: that because it's against Trump. I mean, the double standard 1474 01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:34,200 Speaker 1: is so glaring. It's laughable that anybody would try to 1475 01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:37,920 Speaker 1: say otherwise. But instead of that, call someone a liar. 1476 01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:40,360 Speaker 1: By the way, very strong, I was sharing an opinion. 1477 01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:42,799 Speaker 1: Mr Tapper is unfamiliar with the difference in an opinion 1478 01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:45,559 Speaker 1: and a fact. It's not a fact to say that 1479 01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,000 Speaker 1: the the media, which is not an individual, it's a 1480 01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:53,400 Speaker 1: general conception of organizations. The media overlooking something is not 1481 01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:57,559 Speaker 1: a factual statement. I didn't say they actually never covered it. 1482 01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:01,400 Speaker 1: But you'll notice they that they'd rather play this game 1483 01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:03,120 Speaker 1: of well, we're the ones that are calling facts because 1484 01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:06,240 Speaker 1: Trump world is awful of lies. And also, I've actually 1485 01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:08,400 Speaker 1: never met Tapper, never spoken a word to him, don't 1486 01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:10,200 Speaker 1: don't know much about him. I know he's nasty to 1487 01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:11,920 Speaker 1: people on a regular basis on Twitter, and I can 1488 01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:14,320 Speaker 1: tell you kind of funny stories about how this is 1489 01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:16,519 Speaker 1: the way that he operates right he can, he won't 1490 01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:20,320 Speaker 1: let things go. He and he demands retractions, demands retractions 1491 01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:24,160 Speaker 1: like who do you think you are? Thinks he's very important. 1492 01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:27,840 Speaker 1: That much is clear, very very full of himself. But 1493 01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:30,920 Speaker 1: on the on the the underlying substance here, and you know, 1494 01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:33,400 Speaker 1: as I said, this guy, different journalists are all away 1495 01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:35,280 Speaker 1: and they're all dog piling me. Oh you're look at 1496 01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:38,160 Speaker 1: this article. Look at this article. Yeah, yeah, idiots. I 1497 01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:40,800 Speaker 1: know that you wrote articles about the Obama spuying. The 1498 01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:43,280 Speaker 1: point is you were willing to move on past it 1499 01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:46,960 Speaker 1: and not make it a major issue because Obama. And 1500 01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:49,120 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that I doubt they'll be the same 1501 01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:53,320 Speaker 1: tendency with Trump and his administration and using national security 1502 01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:56,040 Speaker 1: powers to spy on journalists. This shouldn't be controversial. Actually 1503 01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:58,760 Speaker 1: this should be a pretty obvious thing to say, but 1504 01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:00,800 Speaker 1: you get heat for it will because when you point 1505 01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,720 Speaker 1: out the double standard, they get upset. The same way 1506 01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:05,240 Speaker 1: when you call them fake news, they get upset because 1507 01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:07,840 Speaker 1: they do rome with fake news. Oh no, I'm so 1508 01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:11,920 Speaker 1: you're right, Stormy Daniels, night after night after night. That's 1509 01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:15,040 Speaker 1: not fake news. What well, what is that? They're creating 1510 01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:17,960 Speaker 1: news out of a non news story? So what what 1511 01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:22,920 Speaker 1: do they want us to call that? Anyway? Look, I 1512 01:29:22,960 --> 01:29:24,640 Speaker 1: mean this is why I think some days, you know, 1513 01:29:25,520 --> 01:29:29,960 Speaker 1: just retreat to the woods.

It 1534 01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:30,240 Speaker 1: would be also be fun to just have a Twitter 1535 01:30:30,280 --> 01:30:32,320 Speaker 1: account that, like it is not like I have no 1536 01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:35,360 Speaker 1: professional involvement in in the media anymore, and I can 1537 01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:37,000 Speaker 1: actually just tell people what I think of them.

And profanity 1540 01:30:44,240 --> 01:30:47,800 Speaker 1: is a problem, you know stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 1541 01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:49,920 Speaker 1: I know people will say, you know, buck, technically you 1542 01:30:49,960 --> 01:30:53,280 Speaker 1: shouldn't call person that, even if they are a terrible 1543 01:30:53,320 --> 01:30:57,120 Speaker 1: CNN jerk. Uh so you know it is what it is. 1544 01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:02,240 Speaker 1: Um anyway, Yes, this is why I just hate Twitter, 1545 01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:04,600 Speaker 1: because it's it's useful to a point, but as a 1546 01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:07,879 Speaker 1: means of conversation, it's no. No one's actually trying to engage. 1547 01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:10,680 Speaker 1: They're really just and they're they're seeing who can come 1548 01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:12,320 Speaker 1: up with the sickest burn and who can create the 1549 01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:15,400 Speaker 1: biggest dog pile effect to silence, you know, the the 1550 01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:18,519 Speaker 1: people that they don't like. And I just find it, 1551 01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:24,599 Speaker 1: uh find a childish finds pretty annoying. And yeah, anyway, 1552 01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:27,240 Speaker 1: my last thing with Tapper was when I when he 1553 01:31:27,280 --> 01:31:29,360 Speaker 1: said that Scooter Libby leaked the name of a covert 1554 01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:32,479 Speaker 1: CIA officer and I'm like, I think he actually said 1555 01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:34,400 Speaker 1: agent because he doesn't know the difference in an agent 1556 01:31:34,400 --> 01:31:37,439 Speaker 1: and an officer. And although don't quote me on that, 1557 01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:40,479 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I could be wrong. Um I'm willing 1558 01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:41,960 Speaker 1: to bet that was correct. And I'm just like, well, 1559 01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:47,439 Speaker 1: that's actually not what happened. But okay, all right, you 1560 01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:49,479 Speaker 1: know I got all the other scene and they all 1561 01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:51,360 Speaker 1: come they're all like a team, like like a big 1562 01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:54,559 Speaker 1: it's like a clown car of of well of clowns, 1563 01:31:54,880 --> 01:31:56,840 Speaker 1: the clown News network, and they all come after you, 1564 01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:01,479 Speaker 1: yelling at you and stuff. So few people that go 1565 01:32:01,520 --> 01:32:06,120 Speaker 1: on are there now and share opinions. Uh, I have 1566 01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:08,840 Speaker 1: really any respect for at this point. I mean professionally. 1567 01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:13,280 Speaker 1: Personally I can't speak to it, but professionally it's who 1568 01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:15,759 Speaker 1: who's who's the down the middle person you can trust 1569 01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:18,400 Speaker 1: over there. That's not skewing, that's not feeding into the 1570 01:32:18,479 --> 01:32:23,080 Speaker 1: Russia collusion fantasy. Anyway. Some people just need a bucks laugh, 1571 01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:25,800 Speaker 1: whether they realize they got one or not. Uh, we'll 1572 01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:29,080 Speaker 1: be right back.

Now we can put some some 1593 01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:50,680 Speaker 1: facts and figures into what we already know about the 1594 01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:58,240 Speaker 1: whole u NFL flag kneeling controversy. You have here that 1595 01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:04,120 Speaker 1: a majority of US voters say that the National Football 1596 01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:08,520 Speaker 1: League players who neil and protests are are not unpatriotic, 1597 01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:11,800 Speaker 1: according to new poll by a fifty eight percent to 1598 01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:15,240 Speaker 1: thirty five percent margin. Those surveying at the Quinnipiac University 1599 01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:18,840 Speaker 1: poll voice disagreement with the notion that players who during 1600 01:34:18,840 --> 01:34:22,760 Speaker 1: games uh protests police shootings of unarmed black men are 1601 01:34:22,760 --> 01:34:28,240 Speaker 1: disrespectful of America. A majority of voters also offered support 1602 01:34:28,280 --> 01:34:31,040 Speaker 1: for athletes right to protest on their playing fields and 1603 01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:37,559 Speaker 1: courts at expressed opposition. Now, first of all, calling them 1604 01:34:37,640 --> 01:34:41,240 Speaker 1: unpatriotic is very strong, So I feel like the poll 1605 01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:46,559 Speaker 1: is automatically skewing, uh and making it likely or to 1606 01:34:46,560 --> 01:34:49,280 Speaker 1: get a certain outcome. To to to ask do you agree 1607 01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:52,720 Speaker 1: with their choice to do it? To call them unpatriotic 1608 01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:56,680 Speaker 1: is to pass judgment on the individuals themselves. It's I 1609 01:34:56,720 --> 01:34:58,439 Speaker 1: think a much better way to approach this would be 1610 01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:03,280 Speaker 1: to say, what do you think of the decision to 1611 01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:07,640 Speaker 1: do that? Um? So that's one part of this. And 1612 01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:10,439 Speaker 1: then also having the right to protest on the on 1613 01:35:10,479 --> 01:35:14,800 Speaker 1: the playing field, that's you know, I think that's just 1614 01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:19,120 Speaker 1: that's only fift so it's pretty evenly split. But I 1615 01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:20,400 Speaker 1: think a lot of that is just people who don't 1616 01:35:20,479 --> 01:35:26,200 Speaker 1: understand that, you know, sure enough, Uh. The owners are 1617 01:35:26,240 --> 01:35:30,880 Speaker 1: allowed to set rules and regulations for their for their businesses. 1618 01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:34,760 Speaker 1: So it's not a right issue, it's a what is 1619 01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:37,160 Speaker 1: the owner one issue? But this was the most interesting 1620 01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:39,519 Speaker 1: part of this, you because we're talking about all his 1621 01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:41,960 Speaker 1: NFL knealing stuff these days. This most an interesting part 1622 01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:47,679 Speaker 1: of it that sevent of Republicans called NFL players kneeling 1623 01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:52,000 Speaker 1: unpatriotic and said they did not have a right to 1624 01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:56,320 Speaker 1: protest during games. Well eight five and eight two of 1625 01:35:56,360 --> 01:36:02,559 Speaker 1: Democrats disagreed, So the NFL kneeling issue which brings in 1626 01:36:02,680 --> 01:36:06,040 Speaker 1: all different kinds of complexities, and you know it's just 1627 01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:10,280 Speaker 1: a free speech thing. Is it a police relations with 1628 01:36:10,320 --> 01:36:13,000 Speaker 1: minority communities? There's so many ways you can slice this 1629 01:36:13,120 --> 01:36:17,879 Speaker 1: and look at this, but this has become just like guns, 1630 01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:24,320 Speaker 1: a straight up polarized partisan issue. Whatever you know, whatever 1631 01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:27,519 Speaker 1: you are, as party affiliation goes, is what you think 1632 01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:31,600 Speaker 1: about this issue, according to this poll. With obviously with 1633 01:36:31,640 --> 01:36:36,360 Speaker 1: some exceptions because eighty five percent, there's some some some 1634 01:36:36,520 --> 01:36:40,519 Speaker 1: were left out of this, but it is overwhelmingly the 1635 01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:44,439 Speaker 1: case now that just like if you support gun rights, 1636 01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:50,439 Speaker 1: you are almost certainly a Republican. If you support the 1637 01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:53,760 Speaker 1: right to life instead of the right to an abortion, 1638 01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:56,679 Speaker 1: you're almost certainly a Republican. Now we can put NFL 1639 01:36:56,840 --> 01:37:00,439 Speaker 1: kneeling during the anthem on this list of issues that 1640 01:37:00,520 --> 01:37:04,040 Speaker 1: separate people out from each other and that are very 1641 01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:08,800 Speaker 1: much part of the the the political proxy fight that's 1642 01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:12,080 Speaker 1: going on all the time. So I think I think 1643 01:37:12,120 --> 01:37:14,559 Speaker 1: you are gonna have some more neil and come to fall, 1644 01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:17,360 Speaker 1: that's for sure. I can't I don't know enough to 1645 01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:19,760 Speaker 1: say which teams and who's the most likely with it, 1646 01:37:19,800 --> 01:37:24,360 Speaker 1: but you know, I'm just amazed to these Democrats who 1647 01:37:24,360 --> 01:37:27,640 Speaker 1: say they don't find it on patriotic when somebody does that. 1648 01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:31,599 Speaker 1: You know, the flag is also a cultural thing. Now, 1649 01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:34,360 Speaker 1: I guess Democrats have this notion that there's no you know, 1650 01:37:34,479 --> 01:37:38,639 Speaker 1: don't no need to respect the flag. I guess, Uh, 1651 01:37:38,800 --> 01:37:52,280 Speaker 1: We'll be right back. Stay with me. He's holding the 1652 01:37:52,360 --> 01:38:13,679 Speaker 1: line for America. Buck Sexton his back. Hey, team Buck, 1653 01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:20,120 Speaker 1: it's time for roll Call, Roll Call Friday.

Get into a little bit more of the 1656 01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:29,719 Speaker 1: roll call then we do on an average day, although 1657 01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:32,840 Speaker 1: lately I've been trying to extend it, uh, just because 1658 01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:34,719 Speaker 1: I enjoyed doing it so much, because I like hearing 1659 01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:37,960 Speaker 1: from all of you. Or I suppose technically it is 1660 01:38:38,120 --> 01:38:41,200 Speaker 1: reading from all of you, but it's certainly something that 1661 01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:46,080 Speaker 1: is that it's fun to do.

It's so 1703 01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:33,479 Speaker 1: funny that people like it because I always think to myself, 1704 01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:36,160 Speaker 1: is anyone gonna be mad at me? Because this doesn't 1705 01:41:36,200 --> 01:41:40,200 Speaker 1: actually sound at all like Hillary Clinton? But it, as 1706 01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:43,840 Speaker 1: I say, it captures her essence in a way that 1707 01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:48,439 Speaker 1: I think very few other impersonators are able to. I 1708 01:41:48,479 --> 01:41:53,479 Speaker 1: think that there's there's a particular resonance with folks when 1709 01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:56,479 Speaker 1: they hear me do the Hillary impersonation, because they're like, 1710 01:41:56,720 --> 01:41:59,880 Speaker 1: you know what, it doesn't sound like Hillary, but I 1711 01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:05,840 Speaker 1: know anyway that it is in fact Hillary. Uh. Next 1712 01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:09,280 Speaker 1: up is Matt buck You've been lamenting the lack of 1713 01:42:09,360 --> 01:42:12,519 Speaker 1: proper email address for the show.

I'm just 1719 01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:32,679 Speaker 1: waiting to get more information on our website redesign, which 1720 01:42:32,720 --> 01:42:35,320 Speaker 1: is happening as we speak, and once that is up, 1721 01:42:35,360 --> 01:42:39,519 Speaker 1: we will be able to go from there. Uh. Next 1722 01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:42,920 Speaker 1: up here, William. I know your generation needs to have 1723 01:42:43,080 --> 01:42:45,720 Speaker 1: your hero, but when you put it under the microscope, 1724 01:42:46,400 --> 01:42:51,559 Speaker 1: Lebron is just a distant second best from his area, 1725 01:42:51,720 --> 01:42:58,320 Speaker 1: nows Michael Jordan's I know that Michael has more uh 1726 01:42:58,520 --> 01:43:01,880 Speaker 1: more rings. I know that right, and I know that 1727 01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:08,680 Speaker 1: um Jordan is an icon that is really timeless. But 1728 01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:14,120 Speaker 1: I gotta say, Lebron, he's so dominant, so dominant, you 1729 01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:15,800 Speaker 1: know what the truth is, guys, I don't watch enough 1730 01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:17,960 Speaker 1: basketball to have all that much of an informed opinion 1731 01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:21,519 Speaker 1: on this. Lebron has been the eight finals in a row. 1732 01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:26,160 Speaker 1: That's a very good point. That's impressive as heck. And 1733 01:43:26,240 --> 01:43:28,519 Speaker 1: Jordan never did that. But that's because Jordan left to 1734 01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:32,400 Speaker 1: play baseball. Just just saying, there you go. Yeah, you know, 1735 01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:35,160 Speaker 1: I I was last night. I was moving into my 1736 01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:39,320 Speaker 1: apartment and down here and I spent you know, I 1737 01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:42,360 Speaker 1: spent some time and I had to go out on 1738 01:43:42,400 --> 01:43:45,120 Speaker 1: the street in the neighborhood and I walked and I 1739 01:43:45,120 --> 01:43:48,160 Speaker 1: remember thinking, oh my gosh, I thought New York was loud. 1740 01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:51,800 Speaker 1: This city is crazy, Like it's so loud to hear. 1741 01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:54,080 Speaker 1: There's so much noise and commotion, so many things going 1742 01:43:54,120 --> 01:43:57,400 Speaker 1: on in the street. But sure enough, of what I 1743 01:43:57,479 --> 01:44:00,920 Speaker 1: didn't realize until I went out and saw the oceans 1744 01:44:00,960 --> 01:44:08,439 Speaker 1: of people running around everywhere with red jerseys on, is 1745 01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:13,040 Speaker 1: that the Capitals were in the Stanley Cup Finals. Did 1746 01:44:13,080 --> 01:44:14,920 Speaker 1: you know this, Producer, Mike, I was unaware of this, 1747 01:44:15,120 --> 01:44:16,719 Speaker 1: and I'm here in d C. I'm in the swamp. 1748 01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:20,000 Speaker 1: It turns out a swamp team is in the is 1749 01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:22,400 Speaker 1: in the Stanley Cup finals and and in fact one, 1750 01:44:23,520 --> 01:44:28,120 Speaker 1: so everybody was was getting really uh you know, amped 1751 01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:30,880 Speaker 1: up over this obviously, all these people walking around these 1752 01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:34,320 Speaker 1: red capitals jerseys in the street. I was looking for 1753 01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:37,479 Speaker 1: paper products. I won't get any worse specificity than that. 1754 01:44:37,479 --> 01:44:39,599 Speaker 1: It was kind of it was towards the later part 1755 01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:42,400 Speaker 1: of the evening. I was looking for paper products, because 1756 01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:45,679 Speaker 1: truth be told, when you move into a place sometimes 1757 01:44:45,680 --> 01:44:48,280 Speaker 1: you forget things like I don't have paper products there. 1758 01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:53,599 Speaker 1: And I went into a a Walgreens. And when I 1759 01:44:53,640 --> 01:44:57,840 Speaker 1: was in the wall Greens, it was wall to wall 1760 01:44:58,479 --> 01:45:01,479 Speaker 1: people in these red jersey ease and you know, they 1761 01:45:01,479 --> 01:45:05,880 Speaker 1: were all um excited about the capitals. But my favorite 1762 01:45:05,920 --> 01:45:07,720 Speaker 1: thing was that there was a real commotion at one 1763 01:45:07,760 --> 01:45:12,200 Speaker 1: point by the coolers, and I could see what was 1764 01:45:12,240 --> 01:45:14,000 Speaker 1: going on. These guys were just looking around this One 1765 01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:18,360 Speaker 1: guy goes, you, guys, oh no, they only have one 1766 01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:21,160 Speaker 1: kind of beer left, and it's oh duels, and the 1767 01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:25,120 Speaker 1: whole crowds like no. They all got so upset because 1768 01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:27,960 Speaker 1: there was a fair amount of drinking going on, and uh, 1769 01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:31,639 Speaker 1: pretty much every store within I'd say a ten block 1770 01:45:31,760 --> 01:45:37,080 Speaker 1: radius of this downtown d C Stanley Cup party had 1771 01:45:38,160 --> 01:45:41,040 Speaker 1: had been ransacked. I mean people paid for it, but 1772 01:45:41,040 --> 01:45:43,840 Speaker 1: but they were out of booze, and so when the 1773 01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:47,439 Speaker 1: only thing they had left was oh duels, that did 1774 01:45:47,479 --> 01:45:50,720 Speaker 1: not sit well with the folks who had assembled there. 1775 01:45:50,720 --> 01:45:53,479 Speaker 1: They were not they were not happy about it. Uh, 1776 01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:55,920 Speaker 1: next up here? Oh yeah, So that was my story 1777 01:45:55,920 --> 01:45:57,439 Speaker 1: about the Stanley Cup. I also thought it was a 1778 01:45:57,439 --> 01:45:59,759 Speaker 1: playoff game. I didn't realize it was a Stanley Cup finals. 1779 01:45:59,760 --> 01:46:05,599 Speaker 1: So I need to become well better verse, I suppose 1780 01:46:05,680 --> 01:46:11,200 Speaker 1: in DC based teams. Willie writes Buck legal aliens can 1781 01:46:11,280 --> 01:46:15,280 Speaker 1: lose their citizenship when committing a felony. Once lost, they 1782 01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:20,120 Speaker 1: are classed as illegal aliens. Um well, Willie, good to know. 1783 01:46:20,320 --> 01:46:23,479 Speaker 1: Thank you very much for for the tip. I know, 1784 01:46:23,520 --> 01:46:26,160 Speaker 1: if you're here on a visa, you can certainly be 1785 01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:30,519 Speaker 1: deported if you do anything bad. But is you know, Mike, 1786 01:46:30,560 --> 01:46:32,880 Speaker 1: can you check that? Can you you can? Really? If 1787 01:46:32,920 --> 01:46:36,880 Speaker 1: you're a permanent resident, you can lose your citizenship. That's 1788 01:46:36,880 --> 01:46:41,160 Speaker 1: an interesting thing to throw into the mix. Uh. That 1789 01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:45,400 Speaker 1: is something that might have escaped the Buck wisdom such 1790 01:46:45,439 --> 01:46:50,360 Speaker 1: as it is here we go, Aries writes, I'm sick 1791 01:46:50,479 --> 01:46:54,200 Speaker 1: and tired. Uh, I'm sick and tired of these stupid 1792 01:46:54,439 --> 01:46:57,080 Speaker 1: conservatives getting their butts kicked on TV. As a concerns 1793 01:46:57,080 --> 01:47:01,120 Speaker 1: illegal immigration, the leftists always say that immigrants cammit less 1794 01:47:01,160 --> 01:47:04,240 Speaker 1: crime than most of the native population, which is exactly 1795 01:47:04,280 --> 01:47:08,960 Speaker 1: true for every non Islamic immigrant population in the world. However, 1796 01:47:09,120 --> 01:47:13,400 Speaker 1: close to six of illegal aliens are criminals. If an 1797 01:47:13,439 --> 01:47:16,080 Speaker 1: uneducated white male like me knows this, why don't more 1798 01:47:16,120 --> 01:47:18,320 Speaker 1: people speaking up for our movement? No? Are they just 1799 01:47:18,439 --> 01:47:26,760 Speaker 1: brain lazy or stupid? Um hmm? Interesting? Alright? Aries? So 1800 01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:29,200 Speaker 1: Arias thrown out something I don't know if I've never 1801 01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:32,960 Speaker 1: seen that statistic before. So there you there you go? Aris? Uh, 1802 01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:36,080 Speaker 1: roll call. I just I read what the people say. 1803 01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:39,200 Speaker 1: Joseph next up here here it's trying to get to 1804 01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:43,840 Speaker 1: your sponsor.

Nine line because 1808 01:47:58,320 --> 01:48:02,000 Speaker 1: it's a specific reference to a nine line is when 1809 01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:05,920 Speaker 1: there is a soldier who makes a MEDIVAC request for 1810 01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:08,479 Speaker 1: someone injured on the battlefield, so that the nine line 1811 01:48:08,560 --> 01:48:12,880 Speaker 1: is to get somebody off the battlefield. Uh. And that's 1812 01:48:12,920 --> 01:48:16,519 Speaker 1: where nine line apparel comes from. So think of it 1813 01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:19,800 Speaker 1: like nine like the number nine, and line like draw 1814 01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:23,840 Speaker 1: a line in the sand.

These stuff Portobello mushrooms. Though, 1866 01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:39,240 Speaker 1: oh my look, I don't hate on vegetables when vegetables 1867 01:51:39,280 --> 01:51:44,879 Speaker 1: are used as either an accompaniment to or a vehicle 1868 01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:50,280 Speaker 1: for the ingestion of meat or cheese or dairy. So 1869 01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:53,360 Speaker 1: those are my rules. Veggies are great as long as 1870 01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:57,439 Speaker 1: there is meat, and there's more meat than veggies and 1871 01:51:57,840 --> 01:52:00,360 Speaker 1: veggies that are used so that you can either eat 1872 01:52:00,760 --> 01:52:03,920 Speaker 1: a form of cheese or any form of meat that 1873 01:52:04,080 --> 01:52:07,200 Speaker 1: is a completely acceptable choice, as well as to your 1874 01:52:07,240 --> 01:52:09,479 Speaker 1: t bone.

You know, steak is 1878 01:52:20,280 --> 01:52:23,880 Speaker 1: a steak. I'll go flank steak, I'll go ribby, I'll 1879 01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:26,040 Speaker 1: go butcher cut steak. I like all of the above 1880 01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:28,080 Speaker 1: as long as you get a good seer on it, 1881 01:52:28,479 --> 01:52:31,200 Speaker 1: and you cook that meat well, then you season in 1882 01:52:31,280 --> 01:52:33,679 Speaker 1: a bit too much. You know, it's a little bit, 1883 01:52:33,960 --> 01:52:35,559 Speaker 1: and then I think you're Then I think you're all good. 1884 01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:37,640 Speaker 1: Then I think you're good to go.

Bill right, Hey Buck, 1898 01:53:21,200 --> 01:53:23,800 Speaker 1: I've been seeing some news lately about the guy that 1899 01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:26,880 Speaker 1: did the Las Vegas shooting, regarding his motives, but I 1900 01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:30,160 Speaker 1: questioned the sources. The fact that we also haven't heard 1901 01:53:30,240 --> 01:53:32,000 Speaker 1: very much follow up on this gives me pause. What 1902 01:53:32,040 --> 01:53:35,479 Speaker 1: have you heard? Bill?

That there would never really 1911 01:54:04,080 --> 01:54:05,800 Speaker 1: come a time when we would be able to say 1912 01:54:05,800 --> 01:54:09,559 Speaker 1: to ourselves, UM, okay, we acent know what was going 1913 01:54:09,640 --> 01:54:12,320 Speaker 1: on here, so that that's where I am on that 1914 01:54:13,040 --> 01:54:18,519 Speaker 1: uh next up here, Tom writes, Oss can't even remember 1915 01:54:18,520 --> 01:54:20,400 Speaker 1: where I was when you made the announcement.
