17
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,720

21
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: entitled to a vote on it, Mr Chairman, If I

22
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: might add an additional point, and Mr Chairman, Mr Chairman,

23
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: or I agree with my colleague Senator Harris, Mr Chairman,

24
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: law class and documents that we haven't everyone else. Mr Chairman,

25
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: If I may go on to what I believe was

26
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: a personal I'd like to have you give Senator Feinstein

27
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: the courtesy of listening to her oldening statement or read

28
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: or analyze you're you're out of order. I'll proceed. We

29
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: cannot possibly move forward. Mr Chamber extend the very warm

30
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: Well there are two daughters. Well, I was just going

31
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: to say some things. Pandemonium down on Capitol Hill today, folks,

32
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. That was just a

33
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: just a taste of what went on there. So that

34
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: was from the Senate side. Now you had a bunch

35
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: of senators acting like a bunch of cry babies. They're

36
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: they're pulling all these procedural and they're not even really

37
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: this is the equivalent, folks. It's not parliamentary procedure that

38
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: they're relying on here. It's not oh, emotion to to

39
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: do this and and it's actually gonna happen. This is

40
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: the equivalent of we we can't do this because I

41
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: need a potty break. I need a potty break. We

42
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: can't confirm him. Well, that's not a thing. That's not

43
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: a rule. There's no potty break exception to the constitution.

44
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: What what do you mean you you don't have time

45
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: to review that. You've had eight weeks or have you

46
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: all kinds of documents? These are the documents that have

47
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: been produced. That's it, that's what you got, deal with it.

48
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: We wait, we need more time. Let me guess by

49
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: November seven, then they might be able to make a determination.

50
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 1: This whole thing was ridiculous today, but it was tough

51
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: to tell who was more more ridiculous that the senators

52
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: or the the insane I mean insane left wing protesters. Um,

53
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, Corey Corey Booker. For example, on the Senate side,

54
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: he kept saying that he wouldn't hire an intern if

55
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: he only saw of his resume. This was a line

56
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: he repeated ad nauseum. You know, I wouldn't hire somebody

57
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: if only the resume. And I just want to note

58
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: for the senator that if you're intern applicant submitted a

59
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand page resume, you would call the Capitol

60
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: police on him. Okay, you wouldn't say where's pages. It's

61
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: the dumbest analogy I've ever heard in my life. This

62
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: guy keeps just digging into it. It's it's just it's

63
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: poss z are absolutely positively bizarre. But you know, it

64
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: was never about the documents, folks. It was never anything

65
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: that they There was never any principle involved here um

66
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: and the left was just nuts today the left was

67
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: completely losing it. Let's see we've got here. Play to

68
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: me a favor, play fifteen and then fourteen Wat's Rachel an,

71
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: that screeching. There's an attack on women's rights and an

72
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: attack on democracy. Shut this hearing down. This hearing is

73
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,160

79
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: How is the hearing itself? I mean, these people are imbeciles,

80
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: absolute imbeciles. And you know, at the rate they were

81
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: being tossed out of that room, I wonder if MSNBC's

Speaker 1: ratings are gonna go down tonight because they've got some

96
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: We don't show up at these hearings and act like maniacs.

97
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,839

102
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: have that. We don't do that. I'm a constitutional conservative

103
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: and I also believe in the Second Amendment. And now

104
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: I'll let me yelling scream this is a thing that

105
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: the progressive left does and we're not supposed to remark

106
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: on this right like they We knew they were gonna

107
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: be lunatics at the hearing. Linda's are sore was there,

108
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, has to get has to get her, you know,

109
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: two minutes of TV time or whatever. We knew that

110
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: they would do it, and it was a a circus.

111
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: And you also had this notion that they should just

112
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: so you have the crazy hecklers trying to shut it down,

113
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: and you even had senators basically trying to shut it down. Bloomenthal,

114
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: who is just so gross. Bloomenthal was was trying to

115
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 1: just say that the hearing shouldn't even happen. Play ten

116
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: and you're rightly, press chairman, if if we cannot be recognized.

117
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: I moved to a journe the American People. Chairman. I

118
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: moved to a journ directly from Judge seven all, Mr Chairman,

119
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: I moved to a journ and Mr Chairman, we have

120
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: been denied. We have been denied real access to the documents.

121
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: We need to advise German regular orders, which turns this

122
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: hearing into a charade and a mockery of our norms.

123
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: Mr Chairman, I therefore moved to her during this hearing. Okay,

124
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: these people are crazy. These people are nuts. You know.

125
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: They're all all a bunch of Hillary all a bunch

126
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: of Hillary voters back there, folks, just remember that, you know,

127
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: I know that. It's look, on the one hand, it's

128
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: just amusing that this is uh that these are They're

129
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: all Democrats back there, They're all leftists that are screaming. Yeah, yeah,

130
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: I'm just just yelling and oh yeah, she's convinced me whatever.

131
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: She's shrieking back there, and now I must think she's right.

132
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: I want to remind all of us of this, and

133
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: I want to take the time to speak to you

134
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: about it, because one of the pitches that you hear

135
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: from Democrats is, you know, we need more responsible adult

136
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: leadership in uh you know back back in the White

137
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: House that we need serious politicians not like Trump to

138
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: be in charge. And then you see this, Not only

139
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: do you have the Democrats base showing us who they are,

140
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: which is a bunch of lunatics, a bunch of maniacs

141
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: who have no respect, no decorum, no public decency whatsoever,

142
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: and just thinking and are just mad with baby ish rage.

143
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: And then you get the Democrats who are just making

144
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: fools of themselves. If they want to oppose Kavanaugh because

145
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: he's not going to be some leftist who gives them

146
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: whatever they want, fine, you know, if that's the approach

147
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: that they want to take, if if they are really

148
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: gonna uh make this completely and overtly political, all right,

149
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: you know that's that's at least an argument. But to

150
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: say that they don't have the documents and all this

151
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: other stuff is just bunk. And by the way, before

152
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: you before some of you may be thinking, buck, it's

153
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: not fair to to blame the Democrats for the protesters.

154
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: They didn't most of the Democrats senators there, they didn't

155
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: shut them down, they weren't rebuking them. Here's, uh, what

156
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: what Elizabeth Warren said, play sixteen. All these protesters out

157
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: here today, I'm glad you're here. They're exercising the Now.

158
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: To be fair, I would I would assume that in

159
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: that case she's talking about some protesters probably who are

160
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: outside of the actual gallery Harry is happening. But she

161
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: likes the protesters. Well, what are they doing exactly? What

162
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: do they think they're accomplishing other than just harassing people

163
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: walking in and out of the building. The whole notion

164
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: of protests and folks the protest movements of the sixties

165
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: and getting a massive of people together on the streets

166
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: and causing a spectacle, which is what what a protest is.

167
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: It is meant to be seen by people. This is

168
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: really an outmoded thing that um now, when you look

169
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: at it, it doesn't take into account that you don't

170
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: have to do this. There's so many ways to organize

171
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: and get your message out without shrieking and yelling at say,

172
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: but there's a protest culture on the left. They like

173
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: to do this. This goes to a Lynsky. Lynsky said,

174
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: for for the purposes of of left wing organizing an

175
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: active activism, you know, you want your activities to be

176
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: fun and people like they like to do this on

177
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: the left, they like to protest. That makes them feel

178
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: relevant and powerful and virtuous and good and you know

179
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: all that stuff. That's why they sit out there and

180
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: say these things. That's why, uh, they would waste everyone's

181
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: time by by shrieking at this hearing. Um. It is

182
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: only the left though, that you see this stuff. It

183
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: is only a leftist tendency. Um. And you know, it's

184
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: tough to tell who was worse. You know, on the

185
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: on the one hand, you had all of these uh

186
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: senators who were just acting like complete clowns, I mean

187
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: really really low grade stuff from them, and I don't

188
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: expect much from Democrats senators. And then on the on

189
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: the other hand, you have these these crazy left wing

190
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: activist protester types who just have no respect whatsoever for anything.

191
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: And we're just on day one, folks. This is just

192
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: the beginning of this. It's only it's only gonna get worse.

193
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: It's only gonna get worse. Um. Well, we will continue

194
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: to watch it. I mean, at the end of this,

195
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: I gotta say, I think capital gets through, which is

196
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: a huge win for Trump in the administration and a

197
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: great thing for I don't want to say concerned them

198
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: just for constitutional jurisprudence. This whole, this whole idea of

199
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: a of a court that's divided four four and one

200
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: with a swing vote, this is a farce. I don't

201
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,599
Speaker 1: want judges that are on one one ideological side or

202
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: the other. I want judges who look at the law

203
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: and interpret the law. That's what I want. I don't

204
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: want judges who come up with their own policy preferences

205
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: and replace the law with that Democrats do. This is

206
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: this is eight. We're seeing a major difference here in

207
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: philosophy about what the Supreme Court should really be all about.

208
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: Um And I just think that that you know that,

209
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: this is this is worth every everybody remembering. You know.

210
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: The other thing, Well, let let me get more into

211
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: what you can expect from the Democrats of the next

212
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: few days. Eight four five buck uh, we have much

213
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: more coming. Will be right back. The whole argument is,

214
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: you can be a conservative Republican president, but you gotta

215
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: nominate a liberal to be fair to the country. That's absurd.

216
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: What do you think Ruth Vader Ginsburgh came from. She's

217
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: a general council with a c L. You wonderful person Clinton.

218
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: It didn't bother anybody for Clinton to nominate Briar while

219
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: he was under investigation. Who actually did it? This is

220
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: shaping up to be the hypocrisy hearing to do in

221
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: the Senate. Know that actually came up as well when

222
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: I had when I interviewed UH actor and activist Elissa Milano,

223
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: as she said, well, you know, Trump's uninvestigation. He shouldn't

224
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: be able to UH, he shouldn't be able to appoint anyone.

225
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: I said, well, Clinton was under investigation, so how could

226
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: you know? Unprecedented? We'll talk more about unprecedented later. This

227
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: concept of Trump is doing something that no one's ever

228
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: done except for the last president before him, and probably

229
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: the one before that. But you know, the the the

230
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: arguments being made by Senate Democrats here are not arguments

231
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: made really in good faith. And that's why I think

232
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: that's very important for us all to to keep in

233
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: mind as we go through this. The arguments that the

234
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: Democrats are making are the democrats in the Senate are

235
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: are not things that we should be forced to take seriously.

236
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: You know, for one thing, there'll be a lot of

237
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: there's no political litmus test for the Supreme Court nominees.

238
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: You'll you'll hear that a lot, but then they'll ask

239
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of political litmus test questions. It's very tiresome,

240
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: but it is a constant in these hearings, and it's

241
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: a constant that is reliant on a faulty sensibility or

242
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: fault the idea of what the Democrats, or rather what

243
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court is supposed to do and how it

244
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: really functions as a coequal branch of government. Um. But

245
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it was, it was, it was a bad day.

246
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: I think for the Democrats there. They're going after the Scott.

247
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you more about Kavana on a moment,

248
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: and then we'll get into Woowards book and socialism and

249
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: healthcare in this country. I got, I got a lot

250
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: for you and the rest of the show. And we're

251
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: not just talking. I know a lot of people are

252
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: gonna just beat the whole hearings thing into the ground

253
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: here to talk about it all day, all night, and

254
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: it's it's really not worth that much of our time.

255
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: But I mean, as my friend Kim Strassol wrote today,

256
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: Senate Dems in the Kavanaugh hearing, all we're asking is

257
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: for Republicans to throw over all president and procedure so

258
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: we can pretend we didn't lose an election. That's right,

259
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: That's what this is really about. Democrats are throwing a

260
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: tantrum because elections have consequences, and they don't like this

261
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: particular consequence one bit. It is going to boost conservative

262
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: support for this president, especially going into the mid terms.

263
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: It's going to unify the party. It also will help

264
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: those of us who you know, don't don't see eye

265
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: to eye with Trump and all of his stylistic and

266
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: personal matters. But signed on for the agenda, signed on

267
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 1: for for what he could produce, what he could do,

268
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: what he could accomplish. This is big once you get

269
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: from but gorcia as the snark has been from the

270
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: never trumpers too. But Gorcich and but Kavanaugh get rid

271
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,959
Speaker 1: of the butts. It's a lot, uh that that is

272
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: a multi generational win for conservatives and conservative and for constitutionalism.

273
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: So we will have Trump to thank for that, assuming

274
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: this doesn't go off the ray. Else. I do have

275
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: my worries. I do have my worries that uh Flake

276
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: might defect. I think he will. I think Flake might

277
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 1: be the be a no vote on Kavanaugh and then

278
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: all you need is one other weak, quizzling Republican one

279
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: other one too, and then you've got a real problem

280
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: on your hands. So I'm not treating this as as

281
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: mission accomplished already. I'm I'm holding out on that until

282
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: we get we get quite a bit more. But I

283
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: wanted to talk to you more about Kavanaugh because you know,

284
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: the efforts to discredit him and the efforts to um

285
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: go after him have been really disgraceful. Uh. And this

286
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: is a guy who he's he's as good as it

287
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: gets as a as a jurist, his resume, his background,

288
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: his temperament, everything. So let's let's look at the positive side,

289
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: or the real side, I should say, of what's going

290
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: on here with Kavanaugh and who we're seeing on display

291
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: here and what a great Supreme Court now Supreme Court

292
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: justice he would be. Over the past eight weeks, I've

293
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: witnessed firsthand the Senate's deep appreciation for the vital role

294
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: of the American judiciary. I have at with sixty Senators,

295
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: including almost every member of this committee. Those meetings are

296
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: sometimes referred to as courtesy calls, but that term understates

297
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: how substantive and personal our discussions have been. I have

298
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: greatly enjoyed all sixty meetings. In listening to all of you,

299
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: I have learned more about our country and the people

300
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: you represent. Every Senator is devoted to public service in

301
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: the public good, and I thank all the senators for

302
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: their time and their thoughts. Guy sounds worse than Hitler

303
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: to me, folks. I mean, oh man, it's it's amazing

304
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: to watch these Democrats just make make complete fools of

305
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: themselves on this. It really is. Um. They they are

306
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: so utterly shameless. Um, They're they're complete, They're they're just

307
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: it's all kabuki theater. It's all meant to appeal to

308
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: the base. I mean, they have different, uh, different emails

309
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: going out from fundraising committees and and you know, packs

310
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: and things, and senators are already on the while the

311
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: hearing is going on. Senators are already on the record

312
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: saying that they won't vote for Kavanaugh. But they're acting like, well,

313
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: I won't vote for him now because now you said

314
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: you wouldn't vote for him a month ago, But now

315
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: we're supposed to believe that you care. Now we're I mean,

316
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: this thing about the documents is just completely completely insane. Um.

317
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: And uh yet yet here we are, folks, here we are.

318
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: You have uh so, just just to dig into the

319
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: document component of this for a minute. You have four

320
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: hundred thousand pages that have been given. It's five times

321
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: as much as we're ever handed over for any other

322
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: any previous Supreme Court nominee. Four hundred thousand pages. Some

323
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: pay ages that have to do with Kavanaugh's time in

324
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: the White House have he was deputy counsel and then

325
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: also uh he was um secretary. I forget what the

326
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: specific terminologies for the job. I'm blanking on it right now,

327
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: but you know he was there, and and there's some

328
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: executive privilege that applies to some of the documents, so

329
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: he they're not his to give. But they still act

330
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: like they still act like this is something well or

331
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: relligant plot. If you want to hear uh, if you

332
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: want to hear from Senator Leahy, for example, um, you

333
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: know here here's what he said. Play thirteen. We've received

334
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: used a half a chairman grasses partial records request, meaning

335
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: we're moving forward even though we've received a fraction of

336
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: the records. Even Republicans claim they needed to bet your

337
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: nomination just a few weeks ago, and then we received

338
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: additional for two thousand pages form the record a few

339
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: hours ago. The notion that anyone here has properly reviewed

340
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: them or even seeing them at all, is laughable. It's laughable.

341
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't pass the giggle test. And any claim this

342
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: has been a thorough transparent processes downright or William, This

343
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: is the most incomplete, most partisans at least transparent vetting

344
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 1: for any Supreme Court nominee I've ever seen. Today. The

345
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: Senate is not simply phoning in our vetting obligation. Quit

346
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: discarding you. It's not only shameful, it's a shape. Thanks

347
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: centaer lady. That's really that's really whatever that was, that's

348
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: really helpful. Uh. You know they really they make jackasses

349
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: themselves today. They did they they I don't want to

350
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: hear anymore from liberals about how, you know, uh, institutions

351
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: are being undermined because liberals made the Senate look like

352
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: an absolute clown show today. Liberals made the Senate look

353
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: ridiculous and there their arguments are nonsensical, they are completely

354
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: self refuting. I mean, you you give them five minutes

355
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: to talk in a one minute uh one minute, there's

356
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: the problem is that, you know, he's not gonna support

357
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade or something. And then the next minute

358
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: it's the documentar view. In the next minute it's well, well,

359
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: you know, which is it? I mean, and are we

360
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: really supposed to believe it's all these things or is

361
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: it just they're having a tantrum? And that that's what

362
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: today was. Today it was a tantrum. It was a

363
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: bad look, a bad look for the Senate um and

364
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: oh one of these you know, Bluementhal said something about

365
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: how no one can select a judge in his own case.

366
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: And that's what the president is doing here, selecting, potentially

367
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: doing here selecting a judge in the Supreme Court. Bluementhal.

368
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: Who it's just he's so, what's that phone where we

369
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: use here on the show? Only aginists, Bluementhal, So only Aginius. Uh.

370
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: He's established a standard, I don't want to be very

371
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: clear about this. He's established a standard where no president

372
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: could ever pick any Supreme Court justice because of the

373
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: theoretical premise that the president may at a future time

374
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: be in legal jeopardy that goes up to the Supreme Court.

375
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: Bluementhal's objection if if, for example, there was already a

376
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: case making its way up to the Supreme Court. Might

377
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: might have some limited merit, but but at least it

378
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: would it wouldn't be it wouldn't be the rantings of

379
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: a crazy person. I mean, this is just bizarro. This

380
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: is not This is not something that anybody could look

381
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: at and really get into an the analysis of, because ultimately,

382
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: this is just shameful. And the Democrats conduct conduct today

383
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: has been absolutely shameful. There is no excuse for it.

384
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what you think about Trump. Uh, this

385
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: is about a highly qualified nominee for a co equal

386
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: branch of of government and Democrats. Democrats, that was kind

387
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: of footing Democrats. They're acting like a bunch of screaming

388
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: Brady children, they really are, and they did not comport

389
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: themselves well today at all. But maybe this is a

390
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: good thing. I think it's a good thing for everybody

391
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: to have it be remembered that this is, this is

392
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: what we were up against. That's why we started the

393
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: show with just what a what a complete lib con

394
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: one freak out this was. And and it also just

395
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: goes to show you one Supreme court, one Supreme Court

396
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: pick should not matter so much. It matters so much

397
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: to the left because they have gone to the Supreme Court.

398
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: They have used Supreme Court as their own little super

399
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: legislature to give them some of their some of their

400
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: biggest victories, especially in the culture War. But let's be honest.

401
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean this is for for decades now. I can

402
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: give you, uh, case after case where on a very

403
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: contentious issue, the Democrats got what they wanted via the

404
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. The only really central and contentious Supreme Court

405
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: case that really went against the went against the left

406
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 1: in recent memory is d C v. Heller. The Supreme

407
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: Court stretched itself into a pretzel to save Obamacare. Not once,

408
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: but twice Supreme Court decided that that that game marriage

409
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: was the law of the land. The Supreme Court, you know,

410
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: just just obviously abortion which is which is bad law.

411
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: Even if you think, even if you think a woman

412
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: should have the right to choose an abortion, let's not

413
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: just say right to choose, right to choose an abortion.

414
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: It's not the right to choose what paper towel, what

415
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: paper towel to buy. It's not the right to choose

416
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: what her major in college. Is the right to choose

417
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: an abortion? Uh? And in fact, protect as a constitutional

418
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: right access to an abortion, and a taxpayer should pay

419
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: for abortions, and uh, you know this, this is it's

420
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: not just that somebody has the right to choose. What

421
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: what the left is really enshrined now is the right

422
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: to an abortion right, meaning that the right to if

423
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: you choose this, uh, it is it is given to

424
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: you via in many cases taxpayer, taxpayer funded procedures. And

425
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: people say, oh, buck, let's not that's a lie, folks. Uh,

426
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: funds are fungible. Okay, when when you give hundreds of

427
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 1: millions dollars a planned parenthood, you're given hundreds of millions

428
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: dollars to an abortion provider. As it is not this

429
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: is not that hard, it's not that complicated. That's all

430
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: figly if it's a lie. Um, But you know, they

431
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: are so worried that they might lose these things. And

432
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: the worst thing that can happen from the left perspective

433
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: on Roe v. Wade is and I don't even think

434
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 1: this is gonna happen, which would be a show, aim

435
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: because I would love to see. I mean, it should

436
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: happen ethically for the soul of the United States. Roe v.

437
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: Wade should be overturned. Um. And you know it is

438
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: the it is the greatest moral stain on this country

439
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: since slavery, no question, no question. Um, But it would

440
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: probably just revert back. I mean, it would just revert

441
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: back to the states. Uh, and then you would still

442
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: have abortion legal in a number of states, which would

443
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: be unfortunate, but that's the way it would go. So

444
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: it's not even like this would be outlawed everywhere. There's

445
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: not gonna be a federal law. Well that's actually interesting.

446
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: Maybe at some point there would try to they would

447
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: try to. Well that would really could you imagine the

448
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: fight over federal law outlaw abortion. But see the we're

449
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: having a real discussion about this here. The Democrats they

450
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: just want to They just want to start a food

451
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: fight and make a lot of noise and try to

452
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: raise money and use this just to just exploit this

453
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: issue in whatever way they can and in as many

454
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: ways as they can. And that's really the way that

455
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: they approach this. Uh, this whole hearing situation. I do

456
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: are talking about Woodward's book. Um, there's a lot of

457
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: scuttle butt around this coming up. There's even audio. It's

458
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: not not that exciting, but we got a little bit

459
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: of it for you of the President talking to the

460
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: wood Word about the book, this Bob Woodword of uh

461
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: Watergate fame, and I haven't. I'm trying to get him booked. Look,

462
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna, you know Woodward as a media darling, and

463
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna, you know, want this guy on their shows everything.

464
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: We're trying to get him booked for both Rising and

465
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: for radio. And I want to get an early copy

466
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: of his book, which I have not been able to

467
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: do quite yet. But there's some stuff in there that

468
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: I just I just have a really hard time believing.

469
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying nobody said it. I'm just I'm saying

470
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't think that it's true. But we'll talk about

471
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: some of those exclusive allegations in just a moment. I

472
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: have an office. You have the office number. I have

473
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: an office that's directly into my office. It doesn't matter.

474
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what matters. The on him is

475
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: the best that's been in many, many decades. I'm just

476
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot better. And the country is doing

477
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: very well. That's what's important. Yes, sir, I thought of

478
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: doing a good job kind of say, let's uh not

479
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: talk about this because the book is done you need

480
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: to know I made maximum effort. All Right, it's too bad.

481
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm just hearing about it. And I heard I did

482
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: hear from Lindsey, but I'm just hearing about it. So

483
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a very inaccurate book. And that's too bad.

484
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: But I don't blame you entirely, Okay, Well, accurate is

485
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: that nobody's ever done a better job than I'm doing

486
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: as president. That I can tell you. So that's and

487
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: that's the way a lot of people feel that know

488
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: what's going on, and you'll see that over the years,

489
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: but a lot of people feel that Bob so oh man,

490
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: this president is a fighter. You gotta like it. You know,

491
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: there areas he's not. You're not taking any guff from anybody.

492
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: He's got Bob Woodwork, who's among the probably ten most

493
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: revered big j journalists, you know, big time journalists in

494
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: in the media, the political media industrial complex. You know,

495
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: they they love Bob because look, he he helped bring

496
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: down Nixon, which is the all time greatest thing that

497
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: the media thinks it's ever accomplished. I mean, the the

498
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: destruction of the Nixon administration um was something that the

499
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: that journalists that's that's the high water mark. That is

500
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: what they yearned for, and Woodward was a part of that.

501
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: So he's he has almost like a godlike status among

502
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: a lot of DC journalists. I mean, they just think

503
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: of him as as uh, the cats, the cats me out?

504
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: Does they even say that anymore? The cats pajamas? Brandon?

505
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: What is that all? What's the cats? The bee's knees? Not?

506
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: Come on, we're not in grade school. It's crazy talk, Brandon.

507
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: You know the anyway, the Woodword book. But thank you

508
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: for having that in Brandon. Uh, well, the Woodward Book.

509
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: Well it's not out yet. I'm able to read it.

510
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: But here's some of the stuff that that we're being told,

511
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: isn't it. You know. Let me just say before I

512
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: get this, I don't think it's gonna change anyone's mind

513
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: about anything. I don't think anyone's gonna read this Woodward

514
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: book and be like, oh wow, you know this is

515
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: I really don't like Trump anymore. It's really bad. I

516
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: gotta it's not gonna happen. It's it's just it's just

517
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. I don't think it changed the thing.

518
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: But here's how it goes, all right, he's in the

519
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: Washington Post. Quote John Dowd was convinced that President Trump

520
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: would commit perjury if he talked to Special counsel Robert Mueller.

521
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: So on January, the president's then personal attorney staged a

522
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: practice session to try to make his point. In the

523
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: White House residents, Dowd pepper Trump with questions about the

524
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:49,959
Speaker 1: Russia investigation, provoking stumbles, contradictions, and lies, until the President

525
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: eventually lost his cool. This thing is that goddamn hoax.

526
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: Trump erupted at the start of a thirty minute rant

527
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: that finished with him saying, I don't really want to testify.

528
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: The dramatic and previously untold scene is recounted in Fear,

529
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: a forthcoming book by Bob Wilbert that paints a harrying

530
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: portrait of the Trump presidency based on in depth interviews. Uh,

531
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, Woodward depicts Trump's anger and paranoia about the

532
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: Russia inquiry is unrelenting and at times paralyzing the West

533
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: Wing for entire days, and quote, folks, but that's that's

534
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: not that strange. Why shouldn't the president, you know, let's

535
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: let's just take a step back. Why shouldn't the president

536
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: be furious about the Russia collusion hoax. If I were him,

537
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: I'd be furious. The whole thing is a joke. The

538
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: whole thing is preposterous. It never should have happened, It

539
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: never should have been allowed to occur the way that

540
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: it has. Do we do we really have to pretend otherwise?

541
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: Is it really our obligation to act like this this

542
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: uh that that the president shouldn't be upset when he's

543
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: clearly being ambushed by a pro Hillary media complex that's

544
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: worked with some elements from within a cabal from the

545
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: upper reaches of the dj and the FBI to take

546
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: down a president. I'd be I'd be ticked off, my friends,

547
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: I really would. So I don't think that's really I

548
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: don't think that's where that's strange. There. There's some other

549
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: stuff though, where it gets it gets a little more

550
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: Harry Here's Woodward quote describes an administrative coup, data and

551
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: a nervous breakdown of the executive branch, with senior aids

552
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: conspiring to pluck official papers from the president's desk so

553
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: he couldn't see or sign them. Again and again. Woodward

554
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: recounts at length how Trump's national security team was shaken

555
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 1: by his lack of curiosity and knowledge about world affairs,

556
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: and his contempt for mainstream perspectives of military and intelligence leaders.

557
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: At a national security meeting on January nineteenth, Trump Trump

558
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: disregarded the significance of the massive US military presence of

559
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: the Korean Peninsula, including a special intelligence operation that allows

560
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: the United States to detect a North Korean missile launched

561
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: in seven seconds versus fifteen minutes from Alaska. According to Woodward,

562
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: Trump questioned why government was spending resources in the region

563
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: at all. We're doing this in order to prevent World

564
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: War three. Defense Secretary Jim Maddis told him, you know

565
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 1: there there's look, there's some stuff in here that's that's

566
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: a little uh, you know, a little gives you a

567
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,919
Speaker 1: moment of like, Okay, well is that true? That's that's

568
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: not great. Uh. Chief of Staff John Kelly freaking lost

569
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: his temper. According to this in one small meeting, Kelly

570
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: stead of Trump. He's an idiot. It's pointless to try

571
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: to convince him of anything. He's gone off. The rails

572
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: were in crazy town. I don't even know why any

573
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: of us are here. This is the worst job I've

574
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: ever had. I just don't believe that. Kelly said that.

575
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: I don't believe it. Kelly's already denied it. So I'm

576
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 1: not saying that Woodward is fabricating sources. But I am

577
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: saying that maybe some of his sources were fabricating their

578
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: accounts and their and the events. But I gotta read

579
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: the book, and I will, and let's talk about socialism

580
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: coming up. I talked about Simply Safe Home Security a

581
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: lot on the show. It's because it's a great sist him.

582

585
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,120

Speaker 1: to help his friends who are burglarized. And now simply

588

600
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: It's about time to start talking to each other like

601
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: we're civilized perspect that's blue collar Joe on what's at

602
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: stake in the mid terms, he said everything, we're to

603
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: fight for the soul of America. I think it's a

604
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: bit of overstatement, but if we're gonna really take it there, Okay, Well,

605
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: let's let's look at what is at stake in these

606
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: mid terms, my friends. Uh, let's let's talk a bit

607
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: about what we're dealing with here. On the one hand,

608
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: you have a rallying around, for example, Ocasio Cortez, an

609
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: open socialist who is willing to use the power of

610
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: the state to take away your property, is willing to

611
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: use the power of the state to determine much more

612
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: about your life and to condemn a lot of people

613
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: to if not misery, then a state enforced me the awcrity.

614
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: They get all excited about her. So this is one.

615
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: This is what she said about rallying kids. These are

616
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: young kids understand to fight Trump, play for kind of

617
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: dr for the whole kid. And I am the Congress.

618
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be on the Democratic nominee her congress out here.

619
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go to say she's gonna be fighting trauma. Yeah,

620
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: that's crazy. Want I don't want to. She's she's propagandizing folks.

621
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: She's propagandized into a bunch Okay, we can cut it, uh,

622
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: propagandia into a bunch of small children about how she

623
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: needs their help to fight Trump. Well, I don't think

624
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: they can vote because they're about ten. But you will

625
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: note that the Democrats are increased really open about how

626
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: they would like if if they could, Uh, they would

627
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: like to have a voting age of I think sixteen.

628
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: I'm seeing sometimes in these days, you know, they want

629
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 1: to get the younger and less the more voters with

630
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 1: limited life experience and knowledge of how the world works,

631
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: the better for Democrats. That is true. I mean, I'll

632
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: give them credit for at least understanding who their bases,

633
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: which is generally the the low information voter um. And

634
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: and then you have so you have Okaza Cortet we're

635
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: talking about what's at stake in the midterms. Then you've

636
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: got Andrew Gillim down in Florida. What I saw today

637
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: in a poll is up I think three points on

638
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: on his opponents. So the Santis and Andrew Gillim was

639
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: pushing a little bit because he's somebody who talks about,

640
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: as does Okazi Cortez, about single pair or there. They

641
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: call it Medicare for all, usually because that sounds good.

642
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: That's kind of the poll tested version of it. But

643
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: here's what happens when you ask Andrew Gillham the would

644
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: the mayor of Tallahassee would be governor of Florida if

645
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: he has his way. Here's what happens when you ask

646
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: about how he going to pay for his thirty three

647
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: trillion dollar healthcare plan plate Medicare for All. That plan

648
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: would cost the government thirty three trillion with the t

649
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: dollars over the next decade, which obviously would require a

650
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: significant a tax increase. Are you ready to tell the

651
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: people of Florida that they need to pay a lot

652
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: more in taxes to fund your healthcare plan. Well, let

653
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: me first say there was also a report data that

654
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: showed that should we move to cover more people through

655
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: a Medicare for all system, we could actually save the

656
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: system trillions over an extended period of time. That you

657
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: need to raise taxes? Fair? So what I what I

658
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: would say is, first of all, and I want to

659
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: be clear about this, the state of Florida could not

660
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: take this road by itself. Taxes would have to be raised.

661
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: Is that is that fair? Do you agree with that? I?

662
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: I don't buy that. And how do you find that

663
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: kind of money for the government without raising taxes? So,

664
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: first I'd say one, Florida could not do it by itself.

665
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: But secondly, we have the opportunity to expand medicaid for

666
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: over seven hundred thousand of the most medically needy people

667
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: here in the state of Florida. My governor and legislature

668
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: refused to do that. Do you know it costs us

669
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: about six billion dollars in money that should have come

670
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: from the federal government to the State of Florida that

671
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: we never received. I remember growing up as a kid

672
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: having to wait for the mobile dental clinic to come

673
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 1: through the neighborhood in order to have my teeth clean.

674
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: I know the biggest concerned experiences as a government official.

675
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: You have to make it work, and you have to

676
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: make the numbers work. And so I still don't understand

677
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: how you would do it without raising taxes. So the

678
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 1: first step we would take is expand medicaid and pulled

679
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: down about six billion dollars a year from the federal

680
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: government on the Santis and Donald Trump have worked. Let me,

681
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: let me just get it. You're less affordable, will you?

682
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: Will you say that you will not support raising taxes?

683
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 1: Is to make your healthcare plan work, we will increase taxes. Well,

684
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 1: what took you so long to get there, my friend?

685
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: I know that was kind of a brutal clip. Was

686
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: really long, folks, Right, So hey, look, Dana Bash asking

687
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 1: a real question, but it's not even really a question.

688
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: Of course, he has to raise taxes. He has to

689
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 1: raise taxes like you've never seen to even think about

690
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: doing this. By the way, the whole thing about how

691
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: Florida camp, you know that's not true. Californias think about

692
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: doing this. New York is thinking about doing this. At

693
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: least they say they are. They can't make the math work.

694
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: But you know, this is where this is where Democrats

695
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: have a have a huge problem. They they talk about

696
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: single pair. Well, the way Medicare for all is a misnomer.

697
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: The Bernie Sanders Plan, which is generally used as the

698
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:48,479
Speaker 1: template for what the left in this country wants, isn't

699
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: Medicare for all Because they say that they want to

700
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: get rid of copays deductibles. Medicare has those. And by

701
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: the way, there are limits on Medicare as well, meaning

702
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 1: you know, not everything is covered by medic care just

703
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 1: because you are over sixty five. That's why people have, uh,

704
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 1: supplemental insurance that they buy, but they also have co pays,

705
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: and there's you know, there there are contributions that are

706
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 1: made by people who are covered by Medicare. So so

707
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: it's just not true to say that what they want

708
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: is Medicare for all. They want something that's even more expensive.

709
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: The men they want medicare on steroids, they want even

710
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,479
Speaker 1: more money. Uh And and by the way, that also

711
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,720
Speaker 1: doesn't take into account if you do have a true

712
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: single payer system, states and localities spend a lot of

713
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: money on on healthcare that would all come out of

714
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 1: that would all come come out as well, it would

715
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: just be the federal government, and that you would have

716
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: savings from this. I mean, that's just laughable. You're you're

717
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: gonna save, You're gonna cover, You're gonna Uncle Sam writing

718
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: checks for everybody's health care, and you're gonna save the

719
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: taxpayer money. I mean, he can't he can't be serious, right,

720
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,959
Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. By the way, even if we even

721
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: if we take at face value that there would be

722
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: some administrative or bureaucratic savings because of the centralization of healthcare,

723
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: which is exactly what we're talking about here, centralized in

724
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: the state's hands. Don't forget it. Even if that's all

725
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: true and that's what ends up happening, there is no

726
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: way that there would not be a massive and I

727
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: mean massive shortage in healthcare that would result from this.

728
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: You know, there just was an article of the week

729
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: that came out about how long you wait in Sweden

730
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: for for cancer treatment, for example, and and how long

731
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: you'll wait to see a specialist. And there are people

732
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: who have waited, you know, a year for surgery. Now,

733
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: the way that they gauge these things, for example, with

734
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: with cancer treatment is they'll they'll do it by by

735
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: the outcome of the treatment. But I'm assuming that if

736
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: you have cancer, depending on the kind of cancer it is,

737
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: and you have to wait a year, that's a pretty

738
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: anxiety filled even if you can afford to wait, meaning

739
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: that the cancer is not so said that you're gonna die. Uh,

740
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: that's that's putting a lot on people. If you had

741
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: any type of cancer, let me ask you would would

742
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: you would you feel comfortable awaiting a year to have

743
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: it or waiting even three or six months to have

744
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: it addressed. Huh? You mean that there is a pain

745
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: that people have to suffer through in the waiting process

746
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: as well. Well. Isn't that something that you don't often

747
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: hear about. I mean, there is rationing in the Swedish

748
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: health care system. And oh, by the way, in many

749
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: of these European systems that the progressive left points to

750
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: is the model for what we should have in ours.

751
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: People like Gillham, there is there's increasingly people turning to

752
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: private insurance. In Canada, a lot of people buy private

753
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: insurance in addition with the state gives them because they

754
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: want better health care, because their health care sucks. And oh,

755
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: by the way. The point about raising taxes, I mean,

756
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to raise taxes on and this is

757
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 1: where the Bernie Sanders math that doesn't add up. You're

758
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: talking about an expenditure for medicare for all of a

759
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 1: little over three trillion dollars a year. Keep in mind

760
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: that right now, the the all federal spending right now,

761
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: all of it military, Medicare, and Medicaid, everything, right, all

762
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: the government agencies, all the king's horses and all the

763
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: king's men, comes in around three point eight three point

764
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: nine trillion. So you're gonna add three trillion onto that

765
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: of government spending. And you think that that's not going

766
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: to crowd out the crowd out some of the private economy,

767
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,439
Speaker 1: that's not going to create massive market distortions and and

768
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: and enormous shortages in the healthcare market. I mean that

769
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: that is just folks, it's just delusional. They are being delusional.

770
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: It's un serious. But gill him is, he's doing well

771
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: because people want to believe in Santa Claus. They want

772
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: to believe in free stuff. They want to think there's

773
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 1: a free lunch, and they've been told now increasingly that

774
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: health care is a right. And if you have a

775
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: right to something, well, then clearly the government has an

776
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: obligation to provide that for you. You you have an

777
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 1: inalienable right to healthcare, they are telling folks now, and

778
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: it's it's it's not true, but nonetheless that's what they

779
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: have convinced people on. Um and yeah, that's that's where

780
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: this is all heading. It's troubling, I know, but the

781
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: the socialist impulse in this country is getting u not

782
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: just louder, it's getting more and more in the in

783
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: the open, and and people are embracing it. Single payer

784
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,479
Speaker 1: is popular a lot of folks now. Um And and

785
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: you know, I've said it before. The fact that the

786
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: average American household right now, I mean, this is a

787
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 1: big issue for the mid term. So it's the fact

788
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 1: that the average American household is paying a lot more

789
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: for much worse healthcare under Obamacare, and that Republicans are

790
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 1: not pounding that from a messaging standpoint every day. Is

791
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: it's it's just malpractice. It is it is abominable politics

792
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: from the Republicans. I mean, they should be talking about

793
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: how what's really happened is that all Obamacare did was

794
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: within those pools of people that fall into Obamacare exchanges

795
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: is that it takes money. It takes money from the

796
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 1: relatively young and healthy and gives it to the sick.

797
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: And there's a shifting that means that if you're young

798
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: and healthy, uh, you're paying more and your care is crappier,

799
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: you have incredibly restricted doctor and hospital networks. Uh. And

800
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: really what you're doing is subsidizing other sick people in

801
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: the Obamacare market. That's what you were doing. Why And

802
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: this is what people who are making forty dollars a year. Folks.

803
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: If you make uh, forty seven or forty eight, I

804
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,399
Speaker 1: think you don't qualify for any Obamacare subsidy at all.

805
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: So let's say you're making fifty grand. Let's say fifty grand.

806
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: Forget four to ge. You're making fifty grand trying to

807
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,720
Speaker 1: raise a family a two. You know, you're a husband

808
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: or a wife wherever there earner is, and you're being

809
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: told that your healthcare is now probably about fifty more

810
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: expensive on a premium basis, and it's about fift crappier.

811
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: And this is for millions of people. This is our

812
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: future if the Democrats are in charge of our healthcare.

813
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: May make no mistake about it. This is what is

814
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: waiting down the line for us. And I just wish

815
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: that Republicans could get their act together and uh and

816
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: make make the case. I just wish there was a

817
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: more of a sense of urgency. You know, all the

818
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 1: Trump stuff sucks the oxygen out of the room. I

819
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: don't mean that Trump himself. I mean that all the

820
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 1: stuff around him, the oh my gosh, the Russia collusion,

821
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: all this stuff. There's such a focus on that, and

822
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm I'm worried about Republicans in this midterm election. I'm

823
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 1: worried that you know, we're we're gonna have a very

824
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: unhappy November seven, and things are only gonna go downhill

825
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 1: from there, my friends, Impeachment is gonna happen if they

826
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 1: take the House. It's an honor privilege to bring you

Speaker 1: That's why I'm excited to tell you about a new

Speaker 1: the Reverend Jesse Jackson, who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

849
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: But it was so close to Aretha Franklin and is

850
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: part of that legacy. Bill Clinton of course there and

851
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 1: he's going to give one of the eulogies. And also

852
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: the Reverend Farakon, a very controversial leader from the Nation

853
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: of uh of Islam, who is also there, So it's

854
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: an inclusive group. An inclusive group, she says, after after mentioning, uh,

855
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 1: Louis Farakon by name an inclusive group controversial, she says,

856
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: why do why do we let the media get away

857
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,399
Speaker 1: with saying far a coon he's controversial when he is

858
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: a vile anti semit And you know, I don't I

859
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: don't like to call people racist or anti Semitic or

860
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: any of that unless it is he is will beyond

861
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,359
Speaker 1: the any kind of a question mark, right fair con

862
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: is is is a is a true anti Semite. And

863
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: yet it's interesting that the Democrats there's still you know

864
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: that they used to genuflect to him a little bit. Uh,

865
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 1: and and they still have to kiss the ring when

866
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: it comes to Al Sharpton. If you're gonna be a

867
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: Democrat nominee for president, you know you gotta have Sharpton

868
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 1: in your corner. And Sharpton was also there. And who's

869
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: another complete and utter fraud. You know, this is a

870
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: guy who you know, you go back and you learn

871
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 1: about the Tijuana Brawley case. If you haven't ever read

872
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 1: about it or aren't familiar with it, I think it's

873
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: it's well worth the time. To go back and revisit

874
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: a man committed suicide because of the patently false allegations

875
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: made by Tijuana Brawley that were broadcast and and supported

876
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: all over the place by Al Sharpton, who was just

877
00:52:56,280 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 1: exploiting it for his own his own purposes. And you

878
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: know he's still treat he Look, he's got his own

879
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 1: show on MSNBC. And then you've got Farikon, who's there

880
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 1: who you know you still have And by the way, folks,

881
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna let this go. The media

882
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna talk later about Chuck Todd was written

883
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: in editorial about how they're being mean to the media.

884
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: You know that that Uh, it's just it's amazing. We'll we'll, we'll,

885
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: we'll dive into that a little bit, but that you

886
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: had a member of the press willing to suppress a

887
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: photo of Obama warmly embracing Sharpton, he was sorry, warmly

888
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: embracing Farikon when he was running for president. That a

889
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 1: reporter wouldn't want to run with that story because he

890
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: or I guess it was a photographer for a news outlet, Uh,

891
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: didn't want it to be a problem for Obama. That

892
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: just tells. It tells you so much, doesn't it. I mean,

893
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 1: this is the way they play the game. This is

894
00:53:55,560 --> 00:54:00,040
Speaker 1: the way the other side, uh does things. And with

895
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: with farikn you know, it's so interesting. You don't have

896
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: in every presidential cycle, every news network saying about to

897
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 1: each Democrat nominee, do you support Louis Farrakhan's rhetoric? What

898
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 1: do you think of this thing that farikon said? They

899
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: do that though? Two Republicans who do who have never

900
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 1: met or appeared with or talked to David Duke, but

901
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: he'll be asked, you know, do do you? And this

902
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 1: is not new with Trump, with the Trump era, by

903
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: the way, They've been doing this for for decades now. Dude,

904
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 1: do you support David Duke? You know what about David Duke?

905
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: David Duke is endorsed you. They'll make Republicans answer that charge.

906
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: Why don't they? Why isn't every single Democrat who runs

907
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: for runs for the presidency asked repeatedly on every major

908
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 1: news network, what do you think about Louis Farrakhan? Do

909
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: you support this terrible anti semitic statement? He said? Do

910
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: you support that one? Oh, they won't do that. Huh, Yeah,

911
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 1: that's such a shock. But they want to tell us

912
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,320
Speaker 1: are objective folks. They want to tell us that they

913
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 1: they have no bias, they have no motivation of them

914
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: just just getting to the just getting to the truth.

915
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 1: What a pilo, what a piling nonsense, you know. And

916
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: you another another funeral where there was you know, yet

917
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: to a very high profile funerals McCain and Ferra count

918
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: I mean, pardon me, McCain and Aretha Franklin. And the

919
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: opportunities were taken by both on on on both those

920
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:35,439
Speaker 1: occasions to attack Trump. I mean, there really is this

921
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: this anti Trump obsession. Can't there just be things that

922
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 1: don't involve Trump? You know? Can't we have public gatherings

923
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 1: to celebrate high profile individuals where where it doesn't turn

924
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,479
Speaker 1: into a Trump bash session. Wouldn't wouldn't that be nice?

925
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 1: I guess I'm asking for I'm asking for too much.

926
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. It's crazy world we live in.

927
00:55:56,200 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: I suppose what qualifies as un precedented in the era

928
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: of Trump. You'll often hear this from people who are

929
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 1: incredibly critical of the president. They will say that what

930
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:13,720
Speaker 1: he has done is unprecedented in the history of this country,

931
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: or they'll they'll suggest that, for example, the president saying

932
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: anything about his Department of Justice or the Attorney General,

933
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: that that that there is no analogous situation in modern

934
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: American history, and that this is just well beyond the pale. Well,

935
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: the problem with unprecedented is that once you said it,

936
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 1: you've made a statement, which is that this has not happened,

937
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: something similar, has not happened before, there is no precedent

938
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: for this, and then when you find out there is

939
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 1: a precedent, you tend to get upset. For example, today

940
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: on Rising my show TV show in the Morning, we

941
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:52,839
Speaker 1: had on David from who's an erudite fellow and he

942
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: is a never never well I'm sorry action to be fair,

943
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 1: he doesn't call himself a never Trumper, but he's he's

944
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 1: one of these people who says he's conservative but deeply,

945
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 1: deeply critical of the President of the United States, thinks

946
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: that he is a threat to the country and is terrible.

947
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: And he started talking about the the outrage of President

948
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: Trump speaking about the workings of the Department of Justice,

949
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: and then compared it. So this is the content of

950
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: the conversation. He's talking about that, and then he compares

951
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: it to Obama and he says, look at it, look

952
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: at Obama. He even made such a small error about this,

953
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: and everybody freaked out because Obama was so great. And

954
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: then I had a little response for him, please play it.

955
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 1: Being on Twitter, it would be the biggest scandal in

956
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: the history of the American government. I mean, just to

957
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: put it in contrast, um, there was a sexual harassment

958
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: case in the Navy. President Obama at a press conference

959
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: said in the most general terms that he thought sexual

960
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: abuse should not be tolerated and that for those people

961
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: who do it there should be consequences. Didn't comment on

962
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:58,919
Speaker 1: the individuals. That statement set off a firestorm and President Trump, sorry,

963
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 1: President Obama was rebuked by the judge in the case

964
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: for saying in general term sexual assault should not be

965
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: tolerated during the period before the guilty man they were

966
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: convicted were sentenced. For the President of the United States

967
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 1: to say on his official statement that he wants the

968
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: Department of Justice not to prosecute people who are in

969
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: his party, that's amazing that Obama said there was nothing

970
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: to the email investigation that Hillary Clinton was under for

971
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: violating classified protocols, which I had a t S clearance

972
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: I can tell you anybody else would have gone to prison.

973
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: What's that got to do with anything? Well, that was

974
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: a precedent set by a previous president United States speaking

975
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 1: about an ongoing he said, there was nothing to Hillary

976
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: Clinton's emails that was an open federal investigation. You're telling

977
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: me that what Trump, what Trump is saying, or what

978
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: he said about his attorney general. I mean you were

979
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: just talking about is not calling for Okay, I mean,

980
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: can we just notice the response, folks, this is like

981
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: the senior editor of The Atlantic. Notice the response, what's

982
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: that got to do with anything? Are? Are you? Are

983
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: you serious? You are? He he just outlined for you.

984
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: You know, when Obama was president, he said something about

985
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: how sexual assault was bad, but because there was a

986
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: d J investigation open at the time, he was hammered.

987
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: First of all, Obama was never hammered in the press

988
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: for anything, but you know they were. He was caught

989
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: Holy hell for that. This is a complete Canaris, complete bs.

990
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: You gotta be kidding me. What And then when I

991
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 1: said him, okay, how about this case where the Democrats

992
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 1: presidential nominee is under a completely legitimate and nobody can

993
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: say otherwise federal criminal investigation, and the president of the

994
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: United States at the time, Obama, who's the head of

995
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice, whose Attorney General Lauretta Lynch is

996
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:39,919
Speaker 1: absolutely a warrior for the social justice cause and has

997
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: Obama's back, and before her, Eric Holder was Obama's wingman

998
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 1: by his own statement, by his own admission, And and

999
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: Obama says, there's nothing to the email investigation, which if

1000
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 1: you want to talk about meddling or obstructing whatever, why

1001
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: is that ever the conversation that's the standard of the

1002
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 1: previous president. And and this guy from is saying, oh, Trump,

1003
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: it's unprecedented from the standing of the d J. And

1004
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 1: I say, well, it's actually not. And notice his response,

1005
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 1: what does that have to do with anything? I mean,

1006
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 1: you're come on, David is a he's he's a smart guy.

1007
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, you got you got caught up. It's a

1008
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: weak argument. So what does that have to do? What

1009
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 1: do you do? Doesn't have to do that it could.

1010
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: It's clear as day Obama was publicly trying to steer

1011
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: the course of a federal criminal investigation of the Democratic

1012
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 1: nominee for president. And now I'm supposed to sit here

1013
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 1: and be lectured about how well, Obama would never do

1014
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 1: such a thing. He got in trouble when there was

1015
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 1: even an opposition to sexual harassment statement that he made. Folks,

1016
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: Let's see, this is what I mean. Then the never

1017
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Trumper's it's it's a it's a disorder. It has turned

1018
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: into a way of being. It's like I'm challenging their

1019
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: religion when I and I didn't do it in an

1020
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 1: aggressive way. I just want to know, you know why

1021
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 1: he suggestion and I played the audience for you so

1022
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 1: you could hear was Obama was so unwilling to interfere

1023
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 1: in the d o J and was held to such

1024
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: a higher standard when it came to the d o

1025
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: J that even in this this situation that I'll be honestly,

1026
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 1: I have no recollection of. But David Frump seems to

1027
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 1: recall it that, you know that he was taken to

1028
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,919
Speaker 1: task for that, and I'm like, that's not it. That's

1029
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 1: not the Obama standard. The Obama standard was if I

1030
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: had a son, he'd look like Trey you know, he

1031
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: would have looked like Trey Von. That was an open

1032
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: criminal case, folks, that they thought about going federal on

1033
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 1: by the way, for civil rights violation. Oh yes, uh,

1034
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: you know, never mind, the Cambridge police acted stupidly. That

1035
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 1: wasn't a major issue in terms of the criminal justice system,

1036
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 1: but certainly was not not helpful to what could have

1037
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 1: been a civil suit. To be sure, I think it

1038
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: actually did. I'm not sure if produce and like let

1039
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 1: me know if the professor Gates at Harvard actually sued

1040
01:01:56,200 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 1: those cops, I can't remember. But but a huge instincts

1041
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: of interference in d o J from the President United States,

1042
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, in the own in his own justice departments,

1043
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: thinking there's nothing to the Hillary. How can the President

1044
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 1: United States, who's the top of the d o J

1045
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 1: chain of command, say there's nothing to this investigation and

1046
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: not expect that to affect the investigation. Folks, explain, riddle

1047
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 1: me that, what are you talking about? This is what?

1048
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 1: This is what? This is why even the smart never Trumpers,

1049
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, the ones who are who are educated and

1050
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 1: and and you know, eloquent, and this is this is

1051
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 1: a religious belief for them. Now the evil of Trump

1052
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: is um has gone way beyond just an argument about

1053
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 1: the man who is the President United States right now,

1054
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: it's it's entered into some other territory in their mind.

1055
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 1: Can you have played that exchange. I was so taken

1056
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: aback today by the fact that he was taken aback.

1057
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you've never thought about this. You're trying to

1058
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: tell us that it was it was a standard sent

1059
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: by Obama that you would never speak out about anything

1060
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: going on with the d o J when in the

1061
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 1: single most consequential d o J action for the future

1062
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 1: of American politics in Obama flatly and openly intervened. But

1063
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 1: oh no, it's it's unprecedented that it's unprecedented the abuse

1064
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: of that word unless that word actually has come to

1065
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: mean something that Trump has done that nobody else has

1066
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: done except for some people before him who I like.

1067
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 1: So it's okay, then then unprecedented has no meaning anymore. Uh,

1068
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, they should be much more careful before throwing

1069
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 1: that around. But this is the problem with hyperbole and

1070
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 1: hysteria in anti Tree. Yeah, Mike says there was no

1071
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 1: Gates lawsuit, so there wasn't that that didn't happen, It

1072
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 1: just was It was obviously a concern at the time.

1073
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 1: Just a fact check on that one. Um, But yeah,

1074
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: I that was that was quite the exchange. We we

1075
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 1: had a much more interesting talk I would note on

1076
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 1: on immigration, where David from has some very interesting thoughts.

1077
01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 1: He actually wrote a piece in The Atlantic on immigration

1078
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 1: while ago, so from his he's a smart guy. I'm

1079
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: not putting him or his work down, or I'm not

1080
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: trying to be dismissive. I just thought though, that here's

1081
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: somebody who I actually will read and will spend some

1082
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: time on his work occasionally. Uh And And I was

1083
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,919
Speaker 1: shocked that he was shocked, but I shouldn't be because

1084
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: this is what never trumps mum does to people. It

1085
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 1: takes them out of the realm of objectivity. But on immigration,

1086
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 1: he's very good and I don't have that SoundBite for you,

1087
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: but he did um. And actually the most interesting conversation

1088
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 1: was the one I had with him after the show,

1089
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 1: when he was walking off set. I said, you know,

1090
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 1: I need somebody to explain to me why it is

1091
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: where I go wrong here. If immigration, including illegal immigration,

1092
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: is only a net positive for the country, if there is,

1093
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 1: as Democrats hold no downside to it, which that is

1094
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 1: their posit. They will not admit to any downside. Think

1095
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: about it, well, what's the downside? Better for the economy?

1096
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 1: There commit less crimes than us they're they're basically better

1097
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 1: than us. That's what Democrat tell people. If that is

1098
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 1: the case, we are crazy for not bringing in ten

1099
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: million immigrants a year, which if we open the flood,

1100
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 1: and we clearly could do so, why not do that?

1101
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 1: And said, oh, oh, buck, that's okay. And then I'd say, fine,

1102
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: you know what about two million? We take in a million,

1103
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 1: let's double it out. That seems like a lot, a

1104
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: lot of awesomeness, a lot of wealth, a lot of prosperity.

1105
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 1: Where where are we going wrong here, folks? Right? Oh,

1106
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 1: oh no, there are tradeoffs. There are parts of the

1107
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: whole assimilation process that require there to be a balance

1108
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 1: in the numbers. You cannot you can overwhelm our ability

1109
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: to assimilate people if you do it with too many

1110
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 1: people too quickly. Or this is the reality of our

1111
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 1: immigration system. But democrats and he he conceded that point.

1112
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: He said, you're right that Democrats are dishonest about how

1113
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 1: they discussed immigration, and they pretend that there's no downside,

1114
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 1: and if that were true, they should be open. They

1115
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 1: should be advocating for open effect, the open borders. Eight

1116
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: four or four nine. I just gave the wrong number.

1117
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 1: That was an old number. I think that was Glendex number. Buck,

1118
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 1: you want to chat, I'll be back with you in

1119
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 1: just a moment. Team stay with me. He respected the

1120
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 1: dignity inherent in every life, a dignity that does not

1121
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: stop at borders and cannot be erased by dictators. Perhaps

1122
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 1: above all, John detested the abuse of power. Could not

1123
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 1: abide biggots and swaggering despots. So much of our politics,

1124
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: our public life, our public discourse can seem small and

1125
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: mean and petty, trafficking and bombast and insult and phony

1126
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: controversies and manufactured outrage. It's a politics that pretends to

1127
01:06:56,800 --> 01:07:00,920
Speaker 1: be brave and tough, but in fact does born of fear.

1128
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 1: John called on us to be bigger than that. He

1129
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:08,480
Speaker 1: called on us to be better than that. So there

1130
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: were plenty of things in the McCain funeral of the week,

1131
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 1: and plenty of moments where I think a lot of

1132
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 1: folks said, okay, so this is going this is an

1133
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: explicitly uh political situation. Now, I mean that there was

1134
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 1: a decision that was was made to to politicize at

1135
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 1: least some aspects of a man's funeral, which he is

1136
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 1: well within his rights to do. It was planned that

1137
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 1: way by McCain. From what I'm from what I'm told

1138
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 1: um and here is I mean the the previous, the

1139
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: previous occupant of this time slot, and and and a

1140
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 1: friend Megan McCain. Here here's what she had to say.

1141
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Play clip one. The America John McCain is generous and

1142
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:55,600
Speaker 1: welcoming and bold. She is resourceful and confident, the secure,

1143
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: she meets her responsibilities. She's quietly because she is strong.

1144
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 1: America does not both because she has no need to

1145
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 1: the America of John McCain has no need to be

1146
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 1: made great again because America was always great. Now I

1147
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 1: I I feel like we're we're putting a difficult position,

1148
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: your folks, because there's a tremendous amount of media coverage

1149
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:24,560
Speaker 1: of this event over the weekend, and there are explicitly

1150
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: political and partisan arguments being made at a funeral, and

1151
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 1: it feels like a an extension of the Democrat creed

1152
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 1: of the victim, the victim slash attack paradigm, where they

1153
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 1: will put somebody forward, somebody who has suffered a lot,

1154
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 1: in this case the funeral, but in other cases, you

1155
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:47,040
Speaker 1: know they'll they'll use the nine eleven widows for political purposes,

1156
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 1: and they'll put forward the Parkland kids and if you

1157
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: oppose them on a policy level, you're heartless and your meat.

1158
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:56,720
Speaker 1: And I it makes me very uncomfortable. I do not

1159
01:08:57,080 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 1: think it's it's a good place for us to go in.

1160
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 1: The expectation is that there will be no not This

1161
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 1: wasn't the private affair, folks. This was a media event.

1162
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 1: There was a tremendous amount of coverage this over the weekend,

1163
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 1: when political arguments are going to be made and nationally televised,

1164
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: and it's being done with the idea that anybody who

1165
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 1: well and this is much more so a commentary on

1166
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,640
Speaker 1: the way that the media was portraying this and the

1167
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: way that the coverage was really clearly using this as

1168
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 1: a as a club against Trump. But I don't like

1169
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: it when political arguments are being made and anyone who

1170
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 1: responds is going to be attacked for some other reason.

1171
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: In this case, you're being uh, you know, you're being

1172
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 1: unfeeling and unkind toward the family that is suffering this,

1173
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:47,640
Speaker 1: you know, suffering through this grievous loss, or you know

1174
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,559
Speaker 1: that this is a funeral. How dare you question anything

1175
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,640
Speaker 1: that was said? Well, there were things said about the

1176
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:55,839
Speaker 1: current commander in chief that affect the rest of the country.

1177
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 1: I mean, they're there, or I should say there were

1178
01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:02,679
Speaker 1: things said that were clearly attacks on him, and look,

1179
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't it would not be my choice, but it

1180
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 1: wasn't my choice. So, um, you know, I'm trying to

1181
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,799
Speaker 1: be respectful of the circumstances in the situation while also

1182
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 1: not being being bullied into bending the knee on a

1183
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:19,800
Speaker 1: political issue. Right, there's one. It's one thing to be

1184
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 1: respectful in the show proper decorum. It's a funeral, it's

1185
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,600
Speaker 1: a manage served his country. But it's another thing to

1186
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:26,759
Speaker 1: sit here and say, well, you know, I can't disagree

1187
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 1: with anything said there because John McCain and there's a

1188
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 1: lot of that going on. It's, uh, it's a bit.

1189
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 1: It's a bit underhanded, folks, with some of the some

1190
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: of the way that the media was using McCain's funeral

1191
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,880
Speaker 1: to attack the president. And in case it wasn't explicit enough,

1192
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:47,600
Speaker 1: we got Steve Schmidt over as NBC. Yeah, I know

1193
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,599
Speaker 1: Steve Schmidt. He's like a really good political analyst who's

1194
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 1: just you know, he's gotta say things on TV. Steve

1195
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 1: Schmidt play three the heroism, kindness, love, decency, all of

1196
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 1: it are necessary, uh, in a in a country like

1197
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 1: ours for it to succeed. And all of those virtues

1198
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 1: are in regression and are under attack in this moment

1199
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 1: in time. And so what we saw today from two

1200
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 1: former presidents, a Republican and a Democrat who were fierce

1201
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 1: rivals of each other, was a rebuke to this vile

1202
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 1: and low moment in the history of this country. And

1203
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 1: make no mistake about it, um, the rebukes were intentional,

1204
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:40,799
Speaker 1: they were purposeful, and they were designed by John McCain himself.

1205
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:44,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, one of one of McCain's closest advisors, at

1206
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 1: least the one who ran his presidential campaign two thousand

1207
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 1: and eight, saying that this was intentional, this was this

1208
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 1: was the political weaponization of a funeral. Folks. Uh. I'm

1209
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:57,840
Speaker 1: not saying that that's inherently wrong. I'm just saying that

1210
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 1: it makes me uncomfortable. At we are now at a

1211
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:05,599
Speaker 1: place where to attack Trump. There will be people will

1212
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 1: engage in um in political attacks with the invulnerability of

1213
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,639
Speaker 1: how dare you question me I'm grieving or how dare

1214
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 1: you question me this is a this is at a

1215
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 1: funeral or this is you. This is not the way,

1216
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,559
Speaker 1: that's not how you make political arguments. And this notion

1217
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:29,640
Speaker 1: of of the restoration of decency. A lot of these

1218
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 1: reporters were saying terrible things about John McCain in two

1219
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 1: thousand and eight. A lot of these reporters are talking

1220
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 1: how great John McCain is. Now we're okay with reporters

1221
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 1: saying that Sarah Palin didn't actually have her child with

1222
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 1: down so there was actually her daughters and it was

1223
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 1: all a big you know, bringing bringing her downstair during

1224
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 1: her down syndrome child into the political fray. They were

1225
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 1: okay with that, folks, But those same reporters are now

1226
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 1: the one is gonna lecture us on decency and decorum

01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 1: also the need to show respect to those who are

1252
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: doing honest work. So let me take you to what

1253
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 1: happened over this Labor Day weekend. Interesting that had occurred

1254
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:37,720
Speaker 1: on on Labor Day, of all holidays, Jeffrey Owens. He

1255
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,680
Speaker 1: was an actor on The Cosby Show, a show that

1256
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 1: I tell you I've not really ever seen much of,

1257
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 1: but it is, of course one of the most famous

1258
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 1: TV sitcoms of all time. And Jeffrey Owens, so he

1259
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 1: he was on this phenomenon TV show, The Cosby Show,

1260
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:56,960
Speaker 1: and that was decades ago. Well. The Daily Mail, a

1261
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 1: British tabloid publication, found him bagging groceries, working as as

1262
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:07,040
Speaker 1: a clerk or whatever the specific position is called at

1263
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:11,880
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's, which is a grocery chain I've shopped in many, many,

1264
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 1: many times myself. It's a it's a good place you

1265
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:17,080
Speaker 1: get some really high quality stuff and and at a

1266
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:20,680
Speaker 1: fair price. And this was considered and it was I

1267
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 1: would agree with it. It It was job shaming. Also the

1268
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:26,760
Speaker 1: photo they picked of him, it was he was at

1269
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,240
Speaker 1: work doing his job and someone just took his photo

1270
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: and it all, it all felt very unseemly and sure enough,

1271
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 1: because this is America. And not only do we love uh,

1272
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 1: we we love an underdog. We also love a comeback story.

1273
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: H Jeffrey went from being shamed in a major news

1274
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 1: publication to getting a sit down interview on a good

1275
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:57,040
Speaker 1: Morning America in front of millions of people, to talk

1276
01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: about his ordeal. Here's here's some of that. And I

1277
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 1: also want, I do want to say this. You know

1278
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:05,320
Speaker 1: that this business of my being this cosby guy who

1279
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:09,120
Speaker 1: got shamed for working at Trader Joe's, that's going to pass,

1280
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 1: you know what, that that's going to you know, in

1281
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 1: some measure of time, that's going to pass away. But

1282
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't pass. Is this idea that people

1283
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:21,840
Speaker 1: are now thinking, this rethinking about what it means to work,

1284
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:25,559
Speaker 1: you know, the the honor of the working person and

1285
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 1: the dignity of work. And I hope that this period

1286
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,280
Speaker 1: that we're now where we have a heightened sensitivity about

1287
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 1: that and a reevaluation of what it means to work,

1288
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 1: and that a reevaluation of the idea that some jobs

1289
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 1: are better than others, because that's actually not true. There

1290
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:43,840
Speaker 1: is no job that's better than another job. It might

1291
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 1: pay better, it might have better benefits, it might look

1292
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:50,800
Speaker 1: better on a resume and on paper, but actually it's

1293
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 1: not better. Every job is worthwhile and and valuable. And

1294
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:57,640
Speaker 1: if if we have a you know, a kind of

1295
01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: a rethinking about that because of what's happened to me. Um,

1296
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 1: that would be great, but no one should feel sorry

1297
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: for me, either from a positive or negative perspective. I've

1298
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 1: had a great life. I've had a great career and um,

1299
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:13,760
Speaker 1: I've I've had a career that most actors would really,

1300
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:16,519
Speaker 1: you know, would die for. I really agree with his message.

1301
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 1: I think he gets it. And it's just so nice

1302
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 1: to see it's look, it's dare I say it, it's

1303
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 1: it's heartwarming when you see a guy who, by the way,

1304
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:30,519
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like he was found and I

1305
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,759
Speaker 1: think this is important. This isn't a isn't a down

1306
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 1: on your luck story, and that they didn't find him, uh,

1307
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 1: sleeping in a cardboard box with you know, a bottle

1308
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:45,559
Speaker 1: of of empty bourbon on his chest and you know,

1309
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:48,799
Speaker 1: kind of muttering to himself over a subway. Great somewhere

1310
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:53,320
Speaker 1: it found him doing a job. He's making money. You know.

1311
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:55,320
Speaker 1: I've actually spent a lot of time in Trader Joe's

1312
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 1: because I've I used to live right next to when

1313
01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 1: I used to shop a one frequently, and I can

1314
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:02,160
Speaker 1: tell you the staff there is full of people that

1315
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 1: have a great attitude. They seem like there, they like

1316
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 1: that they like what they're doing in that they're a

1317
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 1: part of a good organization that treats its employees well,

1318
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 1: and there's a positive vibe in the place. And you know,

1319
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:19,400
Speaker 1: for a lot of folks, ice shop a Trader Joe's.

1320
01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 1: I had very little money. I gotta tell you, I

1321
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 1: was so happy to have access to good food that

1322
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 1: I could afford courtesy and Trader Joe's. So you know,

1323
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:33,800
Speaker 1: it's providing a public it's it's providing a marketplace that

1324
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 1: the public wants. And I just think it's important for

1325
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 1: all of us to to remember that his line about

1326
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 1: how you know, any job it's an honest job. Right,

1327
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 1: We're not talking about people who are selling heroin on

1328
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:49,719
Speaker 1: the street corner. But you know, any any honest, legal

1329
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 1: job is deserving of respect. You know. It's it's something

1330
01:18:55,240 --> 01:19:00,679
Speaker 1: that we should all agree to encourage and all think

1331
01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:02,840
Speaker 1: that that. You know, anyone who shows up and does

1332
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 1: something that they have agreed to and have taken on

1333
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 1: that responsibility to be paid, you know, they're being a

1334
01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:13,160
Speaker 1: productive member of society. And this should be this really

1335
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:16,599
Speaker 1: should be a moment when everybody spends a little more

1336
01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:21,800
Speaker 1: time just reflecting on that. And I think you know.

1337
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 1: I remember when I was a I just got out

1338
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:27,240
Speaker 1: of college. I might have told this story on the

1339
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:30,680
Speaker 1: air before, and I had so many friends who were

1340
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 1: running off to do The big thing was to do

1341
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 1: investment banking from my class, or to do management consulting.

1342
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:41,599
Speaker 1: That's what everybody was angling for. And if you got

1343
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:44,639
Speaker 1: an investment banking job, everybody was so jealous. Meanwhile, everybody

1344
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:46,760
Speaker 1: pretty much for my class, except for one or two

1345
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 1: people that went into investment banking, they all they all

1346
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 1: bailed out with it a few years. I thought it

1347
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: was miserable. It wasn't worth the money, and they hated it.

1348
01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:56,880
Speaker 1: But I remember I came out of school and I

1349
01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:58,720
Speaker 1: was trying to get into the CIA. That was my

1350
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:01,439
Speaker 1: first It was the first job I applied for, and

1351
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 1: it was a job I really really wanted, but I

1352
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:06,280
Speaker 1: hadn't gotten it yet, and I was waiting waiting to

1353
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:09,080
Speaker 1: hear back, waiting to hear back, and out of nowhere,

1354
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:12,880
Speaker 1: I got this. I got this opportunity. I was going

1355
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 1: to be an intern at the Council on Form Relations,

1356
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 1: which they even they have people in graduate school that

1357
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:20,760
Speaker 1: interned there, so I was actually on the younger end

1358
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 1: for the interns. And then I was offered a coaching

1359
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:29,280
Speaker 1: job at my at my old high school for the

1360
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 1: JV soccer team, and I immediately thought, well, that sounds

1361
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:35,400
Speaker 1: really cool. I had played soccer for four years in

1362
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:38,559
Speaker 1: high school. I had been co captain of the soccer

1363
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:42,479
Speaker 1: team my senior year, and we were actually pretty good. Uh,

1364
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 1: And I just thought this would be kind of fun.

1365
01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 1: And I remember I went out to a very well

1366
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 1: known watering hall of New York City with all my

1367
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 1: fellow twenty two year olds or twenty three year olds

1368
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:55,760
Speaker 1: at the time. You know, we all just started our jobs.

1369
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:58,520
Speaker 1: This is right after graduation. I'm back in New York City.

1370
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 1: And I told some of them that I was going

1371
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 1: to be a a j V soccer coach at my

1372
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:07,760
Speaker 1: high school. I don't never forget that that. A few

1373
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:15,839
Speaker 1: of them laughed and they mocked the idea and I

1374
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:17,479
Speaker 1: and I wasn't not going to take it. I wasn't

1375
01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:20,120
Speaker 1: gonna get peer pressured into backing out or something. But

1376
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:23,559
Speaker 1: I was really taken aback by that because I had

1377
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 1: always really admired and respected my my coaches and my

1378
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:31,599
Speaker 1: teachers in high school. And of course the people who

1379
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:35,000
Speaker 1: are laughing, they they were people who went into high,

1380
01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:37,720
Speaker 1: high paid jobs right out of school, and only a

1381
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 1: couple of them lasted. But they clearly thought that this

1382
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: was that this job that I was taking on much

1383
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:44,759
Speaker 1: by the way, I think, I think they were gonna

1384
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:47,640
Speaker 1: pay me a few hundred dollars a week for it.

1385
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean it was the money was was, you know,

1386
01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:53,800
Speaker 1: pretty pretty nominal. But they thought that this was their

1387
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 1: little why would you go get this fancy degrease you

1388
01:21:56,280 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 1: could be a JV soccer coach. I mean they were

1389
01:21:57,920 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 1: really having it, you know, having a go at me

1390
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 1: of this. And I will say, you know, and to

1391
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 1: to both of my parents credit when I mentioned to

1392
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 1: them maybe the next day, you know, wow, I really

1393
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:10,560
Speaker 1: got a hard time from some of my old classmates

1394
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:14,639
Speaker 1: about how I was taking this JV soccer coach job

1395
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 1: and you know, and and going back to my high

1396
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:21,559
Speaker 1: school for for for a semester at least. My parents

1397
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:25,760
Speaker 1: both said, you don't listen to them, that's ridiculous. You

1398
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:30,120
Speaker 1: could have a really profound impact on some great, you know,

1399
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:33,559
Speaker 1: young men and have a great time doing it, and

1400
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 1: you really I really bonded with my soccer coach in

1401
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:38,360
Speaker 1: high school. I thought he was an awesome guy. And

1402
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:41,320
Speaker 1: I still remember very fondly this day, and I remember

1403
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:44,800
Speaker 1: those I remember those games and and playing on that team.

1404
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 1: You know, it's one it's one of my fonder memories

1405
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:50,679
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, quite honestly. And my parents

1406
01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 1: were said, you you do that job, you'd be proud

1407
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 1: to do that job, and you don't let anybody, anybody

1408
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:59,080
Speaker 1: say anything about it. And they were right. Man, I

1409
01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:01,840
Speaker 1: had so much fun. Yeah, I was making three dollars

1410
01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:06,320
Speaker 1: a week, but you know what, I didn't need that

1411
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 1: much money. I mean, you know, it was it was.

1412
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 1: It wasn't about the money, and it wasn't about being

1413
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:16,479
Speaker 1: some big shot. It was about coaching and and being

1414
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 1: around the kids. And they were some of the ore

1415
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen. I was twenty two. We were actually

1416
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:23,879
Speaker 1: not that far apart in age. That was pretty funny, dynamic,

1417
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:25,599
Speaker 1: but it was one of the most fun things I've

1418
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:29,160
Speaker 1: ever done. Man. It is so important to understand that

1419
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 1: everyone who's showing up and doing a job, and especially

1420
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:35,800
Speaker 1: people who do their job with um, with a a

1421
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 1: real pride. And you know what I'm talking about. I mean,

1422
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:40,759
Speaker 1: there are there are people who whether they're a server

1423
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:43,800
Speaker 1: in a restaurant, or they work as a as a

1424
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:47,679
Speaker 1: handyman or a doorman in a building somewhere, or they're

1425
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:50,600
Speaker 1: they're a janitor, or you know, whatever may be. But

1426
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, these these non glamorous jobs, there are people

1427
01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:58,120
Speaker 1: who do them with an eye too, being the best

1428
01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:00,280
Speaker 1: outed they can be and being as positive as they

1429
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 1: can to all those around them while they're doing it.

1430
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: And those people are gems, and they they make our

1431
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:09,760
Speaker 1: days better. Not only do they provide a service, but

1432
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 1: they provide a reminder to all of us that you know,

1433
01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 1: honest work is is dignified, is honorable. And I think

1434
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:21,479
Speaker 1: that this was, you know, a rare moment in the

1435
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:24,240
Speaker 1: news cycle when finally we could all focus on something

1436
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:26,800
Speaker 1: that's just just worth spending a little bit of time

1437
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:30,920
Speaker 1: thinking about. And that's this. So, you know, Jeffrey Owens,

1438
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:33,559
Speaker 1: I got to thank them for that, and uh, finally

1439
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:36,880
Speaker 1: the media found something worthwhile to talk about for a moment.

1440
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:39,640
Speaker 1: Look at that, I guess it is possible. We'll be

1441
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:43,120
Speaker 1: right back. Hiring can be tough, folks, There's no question

1442

Speaker 1: about it. And you need to get the best people

1443

1449
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:07,840
Speaker 1: that work with me now every day. We had tremendous

1450
01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 1: success hiring for very specific positions for a company where

1451
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:14,720
Speaker 1: we could have had any number of different ways to

1452
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:16,920
Speaker 1: go in terms of how we bring in an applicants,

1453

Speaker 1: and we use zip recruiter, we had so much ease

1454

Speaker 1: when it came to sifting through the applications that came in.

Speaker 1: There's a smart matching technology that zip recruiter uses so

1460
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:55,120
Speaker 1: slash buck. Perhaps it's no accident that some of the

1461
01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:58,680
Speaker 1: cameras can sound like incoming machine gun fire. But for

1462
01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:03,920
Speaker 1: as much as the digital photography era has changed photography,

1463
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:07,720
Speaker 1: you can still count on hearing the rapid fire shutters

1464
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:12,360
Speaker 1: a machine gun fire. As much as I shan't hear

1465
01:26:12,479 --> 01:26:15,720
Speaker 1: and talk to you about the machine gun of the

1466
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 1: cameras on there, I was one hand tied behind my

1467
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:24,160
Speaker 1: back repelling out of the black Hawk. Bin Laden didn't

1468
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:27,439
Speaker 1: know what hit him. That's right, Man of action. Bride

1469
01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:31,160
Speaker 1: Williams thinks that if you if you hear, if you

1470
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:35,240
Speaker 1: hear some cameras clacking clack, clack clack, it's like machine

1471
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:38,680
Speaker 1: gun fire. He's he's the same one who well, what

1472
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:42,679
Speaker 1: was that bizarre producer Mike, what was the Leonard Cohen

1473
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:44,960
Speaker 1: quote that he said when they fired the missiles at

1474
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:48,240
Speaker 1: Syria was like the beauty of the missiles fired from

1475
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:50,840
Speaker 1: these guns or something. He had some weird thing that

1476
01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: he said, He's watching the missiles get fired, he quoted

1477
01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:56,120
Speaker 1: Leonard coh And some of you remember what I'm talking about.

1478
01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:58,800
Speaker 1: But but it's all it's looked. The press thinks of

1479
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:01,439
Speaker 1: themselves as tremend this lee brave. There's no no question

1480
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 1: about that. They think of themselves as people who stand

1481
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:07,840
Speaker 1: for what's right and have deep principles that they will

1482
01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 1: they won't back down, back down from and and it's

1483
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:14,600
Speaker 1: really all a myth and one of the one of

1484
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:21,320
Speaker 1: the most self aggrandizing, self pitying, self righteous things I've

1485
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 1: read in quite some time, which is saying a lot.

1486
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:27,639
Speaker 1: Was a recent Chuck Todd peace in the Atlantic where

1487
01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:30,240
Speaker 1: he says it's time for the press to stop complaining

1488
01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 1: start fighting back, and it's all about how Fox News

1489
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:37,920
Speaker 1: and Roger Ailes and conservative media have demonized the press.

1490
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:41,480
Speaker 1: I mean, somebody needs to pull over the we ambulance

1491
01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:45,800
Speaker 1: for Chuck Todd here. This is pathetic stuff. And what's

1492
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:50,559
Speaker 1: amazing is how little sense of self awareness he displays.

1493
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:52,439
Speaker 1: The article of me. There's Look, it's all the stuff

1494
01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:55,240
Speaker 1: you would expect folks, right, you know, Oh, it's it's

1495
01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:58,000
Speaker 1: all their their press and undermining us in democracy, and

1496
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:00,880
Speaker 1: it's all just garbage. We we don't need, we don't

1497
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:03,680
Speaker 1: need all these days, well, the hundreds and hundreds of

1498
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:06,920
Speaker 1: news I'm I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons.

1499
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:10,519
Speaker 1: That was That was a Leonard Cohen line by Brian Williams.

1500
01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:15,599
Speaker 1: I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons. Uh, Brian

1501
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,960
Speaker 1: Williams was guided by them when he was actually the

1502
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 1: first man on the beach at Normandy. Did you know

1503
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:26,040
Speaker 1: that Brian Williams. He's awesome, so you know, but you're

1504
01:28:26,040 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 1: looking at this piece, this Chuck Todd piece, and he

1505
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:32,679
Speaker 1: goes into how terrible Fox News is. But but there's

1506
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:35,439
Speaker 1: so much in here that's that's laughable. He makes his

1507
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:38,839
Speaker 1: case even worse. He writes, quote, I fully acknowledge reporters

1508
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:42,120
Speaker 1: bring their own biases to their work. The questions they

1509
01:28:42,160 --> 01:28:45,759
Speaker 1: ask and the stories they pursue are shaped by things

1510
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:49,960
Speaker 1: as simple as geography. I grew up in Miami. I

1511
01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:54,160
Speaker 1: followed Cuban politics more closely than many other Americans did.

1512
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 1: As a result, when I covered the White House, I

1513
01:28:57,320 --> 01:29:01,640
Speaker 1: was more likely than my colleagues to ask questions about Cuba.

1514
01:29:01,960 --> 01:29:04,880
Speaker 1: A New York based reporter may approach reporting on guns

1515
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:08,320
Speaker 1: or evangelical Christianity different than a reporter in Pensacola, Florida.

1516
01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:13,720
Speaker 1: End quote what an idiot. Yeah, it's geographical issues that

1517
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:18,320
Speaker 1: are why reporters are biased, U nincompoop. No, it's because

1518
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:21,040
Speaker 1: plus of you are all a bunch of libs, a

1519
01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:26,800
Speaker 1: bunch of whiny, self righteous, echo chamber obsessed libs. And

1520
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:29,120
Speaker 1: you know what would really really started to bother me

1521
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 1: in this piece as well, is that you get you

1522
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:35,320
Speaker 1: get Chuck Todd, who goes after, he goes after Hannity,

1523
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:40,080
Speaker 1: he goes after Laura Ingraham, he goes after um Tucker Carlson,

1524
01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 1: among others, says that they've made themselves rich by scaring

1525
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:48,080
Speaker 1: old white people into into watching them. And I would

1526
01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:49,840
Speaker 1: just note that, for first of all, you can only

1527
01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:51,920
Speaker 1: do that, You're only allowed to do that now with

1528
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:54,920
Speaker 1: old white people, old than the other people. Oh, you're

1529
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:57,840
Speaker 1: you're you're pandering to fill in the blank, old people

1530
01:29:57,840 --> 01:30:00,679
Speaker 1: from that ethnic group, and you would be screamed at

1531
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:03,280
Speaker 1: as a as a racist. And how could you And

1532
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:06,759
Speaker 1: even though I mean, I I just read a piece

1533
01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:10,200
Speaker 1: in in vox dot com what was it this past

1534
01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:15,599
Speaker 1: weekend about the the essentially celebrating the quote browning of America,

1535
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:20,080
Speaker 1: which Vox the Beta mails overt Vox think is tremendous progress. Uh,

1536
01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I don't have a view. And

1537
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:24,679
Speaker 1: whether it's a good or a bad thing. I think

1538
01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:29,759
Speaker 1: it's interesting that Vox clearly does right that Vox clearly

1539
01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:33,400
Speaker 1: is is incourage wants that to be wants demographic change.

1540
01:30:33,400 --> 01:30:36,240
Speaker 1: Oh I'd like someone to explain to me why they

1541
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:41,439
Speaker 1: take that position. I just want great Americans. I just

1542
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:44,719
Speaker 1: want people that want to live in this country, want

1543
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:48,920
Speaker 1: freedom and free markets and the Constitution, and buy into

1544
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:51,760
Speaker 1: this place. I don't care what color they are vox though,

1545
01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:54,240
Speaker 1: Fox though, clearly cares about the color, which is interesting,

1546
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:58,759
Speaker 1: isn't it anyway? But but Chuck Todd, I mean, he's

1547
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:02,760
Speaker 1: delusional here with this, and and he's he's saying that

1548
01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:06,880
Speaker 1: they're pandering, and and he also is is essentially insinuating

1549
01:31:06,880 --> 01:31:08,919
Speaker 1: that you know, they've made He says they've made themselves

1550
01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:11,760
Speaker 1: rich by being dishonest in this way. And I just know,

1551
01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:14,840
Speaker 1: you know, Chuck Todd, he's lucky that he's not a

1552
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 1: you know, a third tier reporter for the Pensacola Star

1553
01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:22,960
Speaker 1: Tribune or whatever the heck. I have no idea what

1554
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:26,040
Speaker 1: the Pencacle newspaper is called. But you know, he's lucky

1555
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:28,240
Speaker 1: that he's not that guy, because he really could be.

1556
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:30,600
Speaker 1: Because there's nothing special about Chuck Todd. He's terrible and

1557
01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:34,960
Speaker 1: meet the press. He's not particularly charismatic. Yeah, I'm not

1558
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:37,120
Speaker 1: trying to be mean, but you know, he's not about

1559
01:31:37,160 --> 01:31:40,160
Speaker 1: to being a Ralph Lauren catalog anytime soon, not that

1560
01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:42,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not either, not that any of us.

1561
01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:44,160
Speaker 1: That's a but for some people. And you look at

1562
01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 1: the guy on ABC News, Okay, yeah, that guy's basically

1563
01:31:47,240 --> 01:31:49,520
Speaker 1: like a male supermodel who happens to read a teleprompter,

1564
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:52,680
Speaker 1: right whatever? Is a someone? What's that guy's name? You

1565
01:31:52,680 --> 01:31:55,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean? The handsome guy? You know what

1566
01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:59,280
Speaker 1: I mean? What's that guy's name? Yeah? You know what

1567
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't Yeah, I don't remember his nabe that you know?

1568
01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:04,000
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Handsome guy, handsome guy on

1569
01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:06,360
Speaker 1: ABC News tonight, just like I'm here and I'm just

1570
01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:10,040
Speaker 1: so handsome. Is that that David Muir? Yes, yes, David

1571
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:14,080
Speaker 1: with the normally large cranium. Yeah, he's got a huge head, dude.

1572
01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:17,200
Speaker 1: Anybody who's really got game has a giant head. Though,

1573
01:32:17,200 --> 01:32:19,559
Speaker 1: as I've put it out many times, I mean my

1574
01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:23,559
Speaker 1: head is ginormous anyway. So, but Chuck Todd runs on

1575
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:28,479
Speaker 1: about how they're they're pandering, they're the bad guys. Uh,

1576
01:32:28,640 --> 01:32:31,479
Speaker 1: they are doing all this bad stuff in media, and

1577
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:35,280
Speaker 1: then he can't even admit that the media thinks the

1578
01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:38,320
Speaker 1: same way. Why is that, folks, it's because of their

1579
01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:40,559
Speaker 1: intolerance for other ideas. It's not because that's what the

1580
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:43,800
Speaker 1: market will allow it's because they are a bunch of

1581
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:47,080
Speaker 1: little cry babies who will get their colleagues who won't

1582
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:50,320
Speaker 1: hire anyone who's a conservative, and we'll get their colleagues

1583
01:32:50,439 --> 01:32:53,760
Speaker 1: fired if they find out their conservative. That's what this

1584
01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:57,240
Speaker 1: really is. The media is run like in like an

1585
01:32:57,240 --> 01:33:00,439
Speaker 1: old school country club that just makes sure they keep

1586
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:03,320
Speaker 1: their kind of people around. Isn't that isn't that interesting

1587
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:06,479
Speaker 1: and ironic? Anyway, the Chuck Todd piece, don't read it.

1588
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:08,600
Speaker 1: It's a waste your time. It's Trump is being so

1589
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:12,360
Speaker 1: mean to us good He's not. Chuck Todd is not

1590
01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:16,400
Speaker 1: a neutral broadcaster. That's a lie. Neither's Jake Tapper, neither's

1591
01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:20,080
Speaker 1: Andon Cooper. Let's stop with the nonsense and let's get real.

1592
01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:25,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of media cowardice, this is like a recurring segment

1593
01:33:25,439 --> 01:33:28,320
Speaker 1: on the show. Now, some of you may have picked

1594
01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:32,200
Speaker 1: up that over the weekend. The New Yorker has followed

1595
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:35,760
Speaker 1: on the footsteps of The Atlantic for going on the

1596
01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:40,599
Speaker 1: wall of shame for ideas that are just too hot

1597
01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:43,519
Speaker 1: to handle. Folks. Oh no, can't can't listen to what

1598
01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:46,320
Speaker 1: that person has to say, can't hear them out on

1599
01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:49,480
Speaker 1: an issue that that's too dangerous? Dangerous for our democracy.

1600
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:54,600
Speaker 1: They say the New Yorker was actually having and Ideas

1601
01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:59,839
Speaker 1: Festival whatever. They really call it their annual New Yorker Festival.

1602
01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:02,879
Speaker 1: It's where they bring together all these ideas and different

1603
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, thought leaders and all this other. A lot

1604
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:08,080
Speaker 1: of it's a self self congratulatory bs, I'll be honest

1605
01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:13,960
Speaker 1: with you. But they had invited Steve Bannon. Now Steve Bannon,

1606
01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:18,880
Speaker 1: uh is that Steve Bannon is is somebody you all

1607
01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:20,680
Speaker 1: know you don't even explain to Steve Bennon is right.

1608
01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:22,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he's an advisor. But just so we put

1609
01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:24,720
Speaker 1: this in the proper context, he's an advisor to the

1610
01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 1: president United States as of a year ago, was important

1611
01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:34,160
Speaker 1: in his presidential run. And you know, he's a guy

1612
01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:36,880
Speaker 1: who's got some very instring ideas. I I actually really

1613
01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:38,600
Speaker 1: want to interview Steve Bennets. Let me let me go

1614
01:34:38,640 --> 01:34:40,240
Speaker 1: on the record and say that right now, I would

1615
01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:43,120
Speaker 1: like I would like to interview Bennett. I've never met

1616
01:34:43,200 --> 01:34:46,360
Speaker 1: him or talked to him, which is very strange given

1617
01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:48,280
Speaker 1: the business that I'm in, and it just hasn't happened.

1618
01:34:48,320 --> 01:34:51,479
Speaker 1: I don't know, um, somehow there are other other people,

1619
01:34:51,760 --> 01:34:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, Denish and Coulter, and you know, all the

1620
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:57,960
Speaker 1: Fox News folks work crossing paths on a regular basis.

1621
01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:00,880
Speaker 1: I never have crossed paths with Bannon in any way.

1622
01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:02,840
Speaker 1: I've never sounded a panel with them. Never anyway, I

1623
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:06,160
Speaker 1: never interviewed him. But they invited Bannon and then they

1624
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:10,400
Speaker 1: disinvited Bannon. And you know, this is just this is

1625
01:35:10,479 --> 01:35:13,320
Speaker 1: such cowardice from these publications. But it just goes to

1626
01:35:13,360 --> 01:35:17,439
Speaker 1: show you that, you know, I think they realize, folks,

1627
01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:21,439
Speaker 1: I think they know that this is cowardly. I think

1628
01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:26,519
Speaker 1: they know that they should be realistically, that they should

1629
01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:30,200
Speaker 1: be embarrassed by this. But they also know that their

1630
01:35:30,240 --> 01:35:33,559
Speaker 1: readership in a magazine like The New Yorker, which people

1631
01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:36,200
Speaker 1: only subscribe to so they can say that they subscribe

1632
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:38,120
Speaker 1: to the New Yorkers to their friends so that they

1633
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:41,120
Speaker 1: think they sound smart. Right, the New Yorkers, the magazine

1634
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:43,200
Speaker 1: that people who want other people to think that they

1635
01:35:43,240 --> 01:35:48,479
Speaker 1: sound smart subscribe to. H They don't want to lose

1636
01:35:48,600 --> 01:35:52,759
Speaker 1: their their base, their subscribers. They I think I almost

1637
01:35:52,760 --> 01:35:54,800
Speaker 1: want to cut them some slack because this is a

1638
01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:58,799
Speaker 1: business decision for them, because they're a A true liberal

1639
01:35:58,880 --> 01:36:04,400
Speaker 1: today is an absolute snowflake. Can't separate out their political

1640
01:36:04,479 --> 01:36:08,759
Speaker 1: beliefs from anything in life can handle being. Oh my gosh,

1641
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:11,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna subject me to uncomfortable thoughts. That's so man

1642
01:36:12,439 --> 01:36:17,839
Speaker 1: can't handle any of that. Is completely incapable of listening

1643
01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:20,639
Speaker 1: to the other side, in fact, thinks that the other

1644
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:24,040
Speaker 1: side even getting a chance to make their case is

1645
01:36:24,080 --> 01:36:25,599
Speaker 1: a problem. This is where you get the whole deep

1646
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:29,439
Speaker 1: platforming movement, and you see this on college campuses. You

1647
01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:35,680
Speaker 1: see this with the whole speech equals violence paradigm that

1648
01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:38,559
Speaker 1: the left pushes right. Speech equals violence. That's what they

1649
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:41,920
Speaker 1: will say. And you said, well, if speech he was violence,

1650
01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:43,720
Speaker 1: then can you respond to speech you don't like with

1651
01:36:43,840 --> 01:36:50,400
Speaker 1: violence because you've already made that cross over. Oh yes, yes, indeed, um,

1652
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:54,120
Speaker 1: that is that is in fact what they're saying in

1653
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:56,680
Speaker 1: many cases. Certainly you see that with Anti five and

1654
01:36:56,760 --> 01:37:00,519
Speaker 1: with others. But this needs to be named and shamed.

1655
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:04,200
Speaker 1: Folks that a that a cultural edifice like the New

1656
01:37:04,280 --> 01:37:06,280
Speaker 1: Yorker such as it is. I mean, I know, I

1657
01:37:06,720 --> 01:37:09,240
Speaker 1: don't read I've read some artist. I've read certainly plenty

1658
01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:11,240
Speaker 1: of New Yorker pieces in my life, but I'm not

1659
01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:13,679
Speaker 1: somebody that rushes out to read The New Yorker. I

1660
01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:15,639
Speaker 1: I tend to think of it as the the thing

1661
01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:17,519
Speaker 1: that you pick up for a moment when you're waiting

1662
01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:20,120
Speaker 1: in an old school doctors or dentist's office before you

1663
01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:22,759
Speaker 1: go in. Uh, some of your like Buck, I actually

1664
01:37:22,760 --> 01:37:24,760
Speaker 1: pick up Field and stream, Well, you go to a

1665
01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:27,800
Speaker 1: better dentist than I do. But this, this is just

1666
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:30,600
Speaker 1: the way that they are now. This is the expectation.

1667
01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:35,160
Speaker 1: I suppose that if people get if people get upset

1668
01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:38,840
Speaker 1: on the left about somebody getting to speak, then the

1669
01:37:38,920 --> 01:37:43,400
Speaker 1: answer has to be, don't allow them to speak. The

1670
01:37:43,439 --> 01:37:48,799
Speaker 1: answer has to be, uh, they will withdraw any effort

1671
01:37:48,840 --> 01:37:53,120
Speaker 1: to engage, and it is just it is embarrassing. But

1672
01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:55,800
Speaker 1: I think increasingly that there if they feel forced into this,

1673
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:58,880
Speaker 1: because the left has got a lot of very very

1674
01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:03,320
Speaker 1: delicate flowers, you know, people that really can't handle. They've

1675
01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:06,280
Speaker 1: over they've internalized the era of Trump, isn't they've over

1676
01:38:06,320 --> 01:38:08,960
Speaker 1: emotionalized it. And no, they're just like, I can't handle

1677
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:14,320
Speaker 1: all the mean thoughts and Steve Bannon too scary, too

1678
01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:17,840
Speaker 1: scary for The New Yorker and the celebrities that piled on,

1679
01:38:17,960 --> 01:38:19,880
Speaker 1: how could you have been and come and speak? By

1680
01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:21,360
Speaker 1: the way. If I'm banning, you gotta love this. It's

1681
01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:27,080
Speaker 1: a great press for him. Rock and roll fellow patriots,

1682
01:38:35,920 --> 01:38:50,040
Speaker 1: we made ours go up to eleven. It's time for

1683
01:38:50,200 --> 01:38:54,479
Speaker 1: roll call. Indeed, it is is roll call time, my

1684
01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:58,759
Speaker 1: favorite time at least when it comes to this show.

1685
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:03,680
Speaker 1: Let's get to it. We have first, Mark Anthony, not

1686
01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 1: to be confused with the pop singer. He writes, Hey

1687
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:10,840
Speaker 1: buck my Connecticut Senator Blumenthal protested at the hearing because

1688
01:39:10,880 --> 01:39:15,920
Speaker 1: of documents not released. Two questions. Has he actually read

1689
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:19,840
Speaker 1: all available Kavanaugh has so far? Had the other docks

1690
01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:21,280
Speaker 1: been releases? Is here going to read all of them

1691
01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:24,840
Speaker 1: as well? Shield time? Mark Anthony? No, Mark, It's ridiculous, man,

1692
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:26,840
Speaker 1: And I know you know this, which is why you're

1693
01:39:26,840 --> 01:39:31,760
Speaker 1: asking the question. It is completely and utterly ridiculous. Four

1694
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:35,360
Speaker 1: hundred thousand pages, Folks, if you try to stack four

1695
01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:38,120
Speaker 1: hundred thousand pages in your living room floor, it would

1696
01:39:38,120 --> 01:39:41,240
Speaker 1: probably hit the ceiling, probably go above the ceiling. I mean,

1697
01:39:41,280 --> 01:39:44,800
Speaker 1: it's just insane. They want to They're gonna review those

1698
01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:47,599
Speaker 1: documents looking for what, By the way, do they think

1699
01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:50,599
Speaker 1: that Kavanaugh wrote somewhere I'm a secret crypto Nazi? I mean, well,

1700
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:53,080
Speaker 1: what do they really think they're gonna find. They haven't

1701
01:39:53,080 --> 01:39:55,400
Speaker 1: gone through the four hundred thousand that they've been given,

1702
01:39:55,600 --> 01:39:57,599
Speaker 1: they're never going to go through it. And now they're

1703
01:39:57,640 --> 01:39:59,920
Speaker 1: pretending that, oh, there's another hundred thousand that they can

1704
01:40:00,160 --> 01:40:04,720
Speaker 1: see that they really need. It's just it's pathetic. These

1705
01:40:04,720 --> 01:40:11,760
Speaker 1: people are un serious. They are serious, But Mark, I

1706
01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:16,160
Speaker 1: think you I think you know that one. Uh, Lorenzo,

1707
01:40:17,320 --> 01:40:20,439
Speaker 1: or rather Thomas, pardon me, Lorenzo, I gotta skip that one,

1708
01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:22,880
Speaker 1: right buck? How do you how valid do you think

1709
01:40:22,880 --> 01:40:25,439
Speaker 1: these congressional hearings are when members of the hearing panel

1710
01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:28,640
Speaker 1: blatantly lie to the federal judge they're questioning. I've been

1711
01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:31,000
Speaker 1: listening to these opening statements by by members, and no

1712
01:40:31,120 --> 01:40:33,439
Speaker 1: less than four Democrats have stated that Judge Kavanaugh is

1713
01:40:33,520 --> 01:40:36,519
Speaker 1: unacceptable because he represents the president who's under investigation for

1714
01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:39,960
Speaker 1: crimes he committed. They never elaborate on what those crimes are,

1715
01:40:40,080 --> 01:40:42,519
Speaker 1: because there are none. This hearing is a waste of

1716
01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:44,880
Speaker 1: time since the Democrat members on the panel have already

1717
01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:47,479
Speaker 1: decided to vote against Judge Kavanaugh. This is just another

1718
01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:51,559
Speaker 1: media show, a waste of taxparemoney. Thomas indeed indeed that

1719
01:40:51,680 --> 01:40:54,640
Speaker 1: is all quite true. Now, let me also add to

1720
01:40:54,720 --> 01:41:00,280
Speaker 1: it and say that this notion that because there's allegations

1721
01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:06,200
Speaker 1: against the president, he can't be the president is just garbage, right,

1722
01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean, where do where does that stop and start?

1723
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:11,960
Speaker 1: If one person makes an allegation against the president United

1724
01:41:11,960 --> 01:41:13,960
Speaker 1: States that he lose all of his powers, does he

1725
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:17,920
Speaker 1: have to step down? They keep saying that on the record,

1726
01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:20,240
Speaker 1: on the record. I mean, they're playing all these playing

1727
01:41:20,280 --> 01:41:27,680
Speaker 1: all these disingenuous games, like with the Michael Cohen uh

1728
01:41:27,720 --> 01:41:34,480
Speaker 1: the election campaign finance issue that's come up. They say

1729
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:37,799
Speaker 1: that this has They say that this has turned into

1730
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:41,960
Speaker 1: something that's on the record now, but it hasn't been adjudicated.

1731
01:41:42,880 --> 01:41:46,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't it doesn't mean anything. It doesn't have any

1732
01:41:46,360 --> 01:41:49,920
Speaker 1: meaning really other than just being an allegation. But they

1733
01:41:49,960 --> 01:41:52,639
Speaker 1: act like, oh well, now it's it's signed, sealed, and delivered.

1734
01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:56,800
Speaker 1: Because Michael Cohen says so, Michael Colan is a proven liar,

1735
01:41:57,000 --> 01:41:59,799
Speaker 1: so there's no reason to take his word for anything,

1736
01:42:00,120 --> 01:42:03,040
Speaker 1: then the word of a liar. Hannah writes a few

1737
01:42:03,040 --> 01:42:05,160
Speaker 1: things about the Kavanaugh hearing's book. If they didn't know

1738
01:42:05,200 --> 01:42:07,920
Speaker 1: about the documents until last night, how did Bluementhal, get

1739
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:11,040
Speaker 1: those boasters so fast? Why do the protests seem so

1740
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:13,639
Speaker 1: timed out? Schumer? That's all have a nice even great

1741
01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:18,880
Speaker 1: shows always. Freedom Hunt is Mjam Hannah Hannah's the Freedom

1742
01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:22,880
Speaker 1: Huts Jam. You know what I mean? Uh? Yeah, they

1743
01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:24,840
Speaker 1: hearing that. I was bonkers Ville, man, it really was.

1744
01:42:24,920 --> 01:42:27,160
Speaker 1: It was just crazy. I don't know what it's gonna

1745
01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:29,000
Speaker 1: take for the left to do a little bit of

1746
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:31,800
Speaker 1: housekeeping and get their loony's a bit more in line.

1747
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 1: But it was way way out there today, I gotta

1748
01:42:35,400 --> 01:42:38,599
Speaker 1: tell you. Um. Next up here we get Paul rights

1749

1750
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:46,320
Speaker 1: Door Kickers and a Desk Ninja. Hilarious as expected, but

1751
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:50,120
Speaker 1: all three of you missed the boat on sports versus games.

1752
01:42:50,439 --> 01:42:54,680
Speaker 1: There are only three real sports bullfighting, auto racing, and

1753
01:42:54,760 --> 01:42:58,759
Speaker 1: mountain climbing. All three involved the real possibility of death.

1754
01:42:59,320 --> 01:43:05,120
Speaker 1: Everything else is a game. Shields high, Paul, Paul, uh

1756
01:43:08,120 --> 01:43:14,040
Speaker 1: a sport before. So interesting. I'm not sure. I don't

1757
01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:16,360
Speaker 1: think I can agree with you, but I like your

1762
01:43:27,760 --> 01:43:30,639
Speaker 1: our Freedom Hut podcast. It's in the buck Sexton Show feed, folks.

1763
01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:32,400
Speaker 1: I have kind of a fun announcement to make for

1764
01:43:32,439 --> 01:43:37,360
Speaker 1: all of you. Starting next week, we are going to

1765
01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:39,320
Speaker 1: do a little experiment with something for those of you

1766
01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:42,920
Speaker 1: who are in the podcast specific world. We are going

1767
01:43:42,960 --> 01:43:47,920
Speaker 1: to release The buck Sexton Show as a podcast earlier

1768
01:43:48,080 --> 01:43:50,880
Speaker 1: on in the day, meaning that I'm going to get

1769
01:43:50,920 --> 01:43:55,439
Speaker 1: to a mic before lunchtime and drop an hour of

1770
01:43:55,560 --> 01:43:59,760
Speaker 1: content as the buck Sexton Show podcast, and then later

1771
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:04,480
Speaker 1: on in the day. That's right, three hours a radio baby.

1772
01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:07,200
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a way to make sure that

1773
01:44:07,240 --> 01:44:08,920
Speaker 1: I can get ahead of some of the things in

1774
01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:10,920
Speaker 1: the news cycle. It'll be shure to remember it'll probably

1775
01:44:10,960 --> 01:44:12,920
Speaker 1: be about an hour, so it won't be the full

1776
01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:16,519
Speaker 1: three hours of this until later, but we're gonna do it.

1777
01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:21,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna start dropping the buck Sexton Show podcast probably

1778
01:44:21,400 --> 01:44:24,839
Speaker 1: around eleven am Eastern, and so because I'm already drilling

1779
01:44:24,880 --> 01:44:26,400
Speaker 1: into all the news in the morning to do my

1780
01:44:26,439 --> 01:44:29,360
Speaker 1: morning TV show. The idea is I go do TV.

1781
01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:33,640
Speaker 1: I then bang out an hour of podcast content for

1782
01:44:33,680 --> 01:44:36,519
Speaker 1: all of you, diving into the news cycle the day,

1783
01:44:36,640 --> 01:44:38,760
Speaker 1: getting into you know, what's going on. So this way,

1784
01:44:38,760 --> 01:44:40,880
Speaker 1: also those of you are driving home, you know, if

1785
01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:42,600
Speaker 1: you if you're gonna be a little home before this

1786
01:44:42,640 --> 01:44:45,400
Speaker 1: show say airs on your market, in your market, you'll

1787
01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:47,640
Speaker 1: be able to to you know, to look, it's the

1788
01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:49,519
Speaker 1: three hour radio show stays the same, folks. I don't

1789
01:44:49,560 --> 01:44:51,800
Speaker 1: that that doesn't that doesn't change at all. I'm just

1790
01:44:51,840 --> 01:44:55,040
Speaker 1: saying we're gonna be doing an earlier podcast in the

1791
01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:57,280
Speaker 1: day that will be a breakdown and news of the

1792
01:44:57,400 --> 01:44:59,640
Speaker 1: day will run through it. That way, and those you

1793
01:44:59,720 --> 01:45:03,400
Speaker 1: are podcast listeners, uh you can you can hear from me,

1794
01:45:03,439 --> 01:45:04,960
Speaker 1: because right now the way it goes is by the

1795
01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:06,599
Speaker 1: time that the show is over, the first time you've

1796
01:45:06,600 --> 01:45:09,080
Speaker 1: heard from me those of your podcast listeners is nine

1797
01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:14,280
Speaker 1: Eastern maybe uh sometimes later than that. So this way

1798
01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:16,400
Speaker 1: we get it up early and then later on you

1799
01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:18,880

1800
01:45:18,920 --> 01:45:20,960
Speaker 1: But the podcast in the morning is gonna be a

1801
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:23,400
Speaker 1: little more of a free form rundown on all the

1802
01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:26,519
Speaker 1: day's events. So it'll just give it an easier way.

1803
01:45:26,560 --> 01:45:28,639
Speaker 1: This way, I'm coming out the news cycle from all sides.

1804
01:45:28,880 --> 01:45:31,240
Speaker 1: The three hour show we're doing here is a deep

1805
01:45:31,280 --> 01:45:33,960
Speaker 1: dive wrap up all things from the day. The one

1806
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:36,519
Speaker 1: hour show early in the morning is gonna be more

1807
01:45:36,640 --> 01:45:40,280
Speaker 1: breaking news headlines what I'm seeing, what's coming out there, uh,

1808
01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:42,400
Speaker 1: slightly different vibe. But those of you who are also

1809
01:45:42,479 --> 01:45:45,160
Speaker 1: radio listeners, I would encourage you to set up either

1817
01:46:04,680 --> 01:46:07,439
Speaker 1: roll Call? Martin? You found it because you did it.

1818
01:46:08,479 --> 01:46:11,160

1819
01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:13,360
Speaker 1: all on roll call, Martin. But you perhaps want to

1820
01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:16,519
Speaker 1: give us something a little bit more substantive than where

1821
01:46:16,520 --> 01:46:19,040
Speaker 1: do I find roll Call? Because you find yourself now

1823
01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:24,559
Speaker 1: back again. We'll get you back on the air, Shields High,

1824
01:46:24,560 --> 01:46:27,559
Speaker 1: and good to talk to you, Cat, writes buck Love.

1825
01:46:27,640 --> 01:46:30,479
Speaker 1: The show is always Last night, while watching Dr Phil

1826
01:46:30,520 --> 01:46:33,719
Speaker 1: with my husband, a guest on the show was referred

1827
01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:37,000
Speaker 1: to as a misogynist. I never heard this term and

1828
01:46:37,040 --> 01:46:39,439
Speaker 1: asked my husband what it meant. He correctly explained to me,

1829
01:46:39,880 --> 01:46:42,440
Speaker 1: but asked me to Google it to fact check him.

1830
01:46:42,479 --> 01:46:45,400
Speaker 1: I simply entered misogynists in the search bar and hit enter.

1831
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:48,320
Speaker 1: There at the very top of the page before the

1832
01:46:48,360 --> 01:46:52,320
Speaker 1: actual definition was a large picture of Trump. So in

1833
01:46:52,439 --> 01:46:54,760
Speaker 1: Google claims to show no political bias, I think they

1834
01:46:54,840 --> 01:46:58,479
Speaker 1: have to question it. Shields High, Kathy, Yeah, Kathy, I

1835
01:46:58,479 --> 01:47:01,559
Speaker 1: mean there's there's the media. H I've been saying it

1836
01:47:01,560 --> 01:47:05,240
Speaker 1: for a long time. Folks, the the Silicon Valley far

1837
01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:09,720
Speaker 1: left evangelists, they really do believe in progressive ideology, and

1838
01:47:09,720 --> 01:47:12,520
Speaker 1: they're trying to advance it and use their massive platforms

1839
01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:19,280
Speaker 1: and incredibly deep pocket pockets to do so. Alan Buck,

1840
01:47:19,479 --> 01:47:23,040
Speaker 1: what are the odds that's destruct go fund me is

1841
01:47:23,160 --> 01:47:25,679
Speaker 1: just a front for paying him off to keep things

1842
01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:29,680
Speaker 1: quiet about some other things, or maybe a less nefarious

1843
01:47:29,680 --> 01:47:33,120
Speaker 1: way for liberals to reward him for services rendered. Well,

1844
01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:34,880
Speaker 1: I want I think that's kind of what's going on here.

1845
01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:39,160
Speaker 1: I think that the struck uh these struck go fund

1846
01:47:39,160 --> 01:47:44,880
Speaker 1: me account is essentially a uh hashtag resistant slush fund

1847
01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:47,200
Speaker 1: that they've set up for him, and it sends a

1848
01:47:47,360 --> 01:47:52,200
Speaker 1: very clear message to anyone else that if you stand

1849
01:47:52,240 --> 01:47:55,400
Speaker 1: with the resistance, there will be money for you, There

1850
01:47:55,400 --> 01:47:57,360
Speaker 1: will be fame for you. They will take care of you.

1851
01:47:57,560 --> 01:48:02,400
Speaker 1: If you decide to uh stand with Trump, they will

1852
01:48:02,439 --> 01:48:05,160
Speaker 1: do everything in their power to annihilate you. They will

1853
01:48:05,200 --> 01:48:09,000
Speaker 1: do everything they can to destroy your life. Philip writes

1854
01:48:09,040 --> 01:48:11,840
Speaker 1: good Limo quote Buck, black Hawk Down, Correct, Philip, it

1855
01:48:11,920 --> 01:48:15,519
Speaker 1: is indeed from black Hawk Down, Adam. I know it

1856
01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:17,800
Speaker 1: was gonna get in trouble for this one. Buck. I

1857
01:48:17,880 --> 01:48:21,080
Speaker 1: was stunned that you didn't like Boondocks Saints. I think

1858
01:48:21,080 --> 01:48:23,559
Speaker 1: it would be right up your eighties action Alley. But

1859
01:48:23,600 --> 01:48:27,200
Speaker 1: alas as an animal lover, the cats scene likely did

1860
01:48:27,200 --> 01:48:30,200
Speaker 1: you in Shields High, Yeah, I didn't like I didn't

1861
01:48:30,200 --> 01:48:34,680
Speaker 1: like the cats scene, and uh, I just you know,

1862
01:48:34,800 --> 01:48:37,320
Speaker 1: I think it's a little dated, folks. There's some movies.

1863
01:48:37,920 --> 01:48:39,800
Speaker 1: There are some movies that I can tell you. I

1864
01:48:39,960 --> 01:48:44,679
Speaker 1: I checked them out, and I know now that mostly

1865
01:48:44,720 --> 01:48:47,400
Speaker 1: I like them for reasons of nostalgia, you know that

1866
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:50,680
Speaker 1: that the main thing about them that that gets me.

1867
01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:53,080
Speaker 1: You know, Like I like the movie Young Guns, probably

1868
01:48:53,080 --> 01:48:55,479
Speaker 1: with Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen more than I should

1869
01:48:55,680 --> 01:48:57,880
Speaker 1: because I watched it with my brother so many times

1870
01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:00,080
Speaker 1: growing up. It's not a great movie, it's not a

1871
01:49:00,160 --> 01:49:03,200
Speaker 1: very good western, but it's entertaining for what it is. Um,

1872
01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:05,880
Speaker 1: there are some movies that fall in that category for me.

1873
01:49:05,920 --> 01:49:07,799
Speaker 1: I feel like for a lot of folks, Boondock Saints

1874
01:49:07,880 --> 01:49:11,640
Speaker 1: is probably in that realm where it's really more the

1875
01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:14,000
Speaker 1: memory of watching it when they saw it and everything else.

1876
01:49:14,040 --> 01:49:17,479
Speaker 1: Because I'm like, if you go back, it's pretty you know,

1877
01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:21,280
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of silly. There's a lot of a

1878
01:49:21,280 --> 01:49:23,240
Speaker 1: lot of stuff in it that's kind of silly and

1879
01:49:23,240 --> 01:49:26,559
Speaker 1: and doesn't really hold together all that much for me. Um.

1880
01:49:26,600 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 1: And like I said, if you compare it to a

1881
01:49:29,479 --> 01:49:33,599
Speaker 1: a straight up action movie of of today, like even

1882
01:49:33,680 --> 01:49:35,479
Speaker 1: john Wick, where there's a lot of shooting. And I'm

1883
01:49:35,479 --> 01:49:40,080
Speaker 1: not saying john Wick is not realistic, but it's stylistic. Uh,

1884
01:49:40,120 --> 01:49:42,320
Speaker 1: that which which I can handle, right, I can suspend

1885
01:49:42,320 --> 01:49:46,679
Speaker 1: disbelief for a reason. Um. By the way, I'm seeing

1886
01:49:46,680 --> 01:49:48,719
Speaker 1: a lot of you are asking me about the Jack

1887
01:49:48,800 --> 01:49:53,040
Speaker 1: Ryan series on Amazon. Um, I've I've read. I read

1888
01:49:53,040 --> 01:49:54,439
Speaker 1: a view of it that said that it's like an

1889
01:49:54,439 --> 01:49:59,800
Speaker 1: homage to toxic masculinity, American patriotism, and uh like white

1890
01:49:59,800 --> 01:50:04,280
Speaker 1: man entitlement. Sounds amazing. Sign me up. I'm gonna watch

1891
01:50:04,280 --> 01:50:07,160
Speaker 1: it asap and give you all my review of it.

1892
01:50:07,240 --> 01:50:09,519
Speaker 1: So that's that's all coming. I promise that's gonna be
