1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: M you are entering the freedom Hunt. Late breaking bombshell. Today, 2 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 1: President Trump says that journalists broke off the record, a 3 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: cardinal rule of journalism, in order to get at him 4 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: when it comes to his negotiations with Canada. Will dive 5 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: into that, and also Sean Spice, or former White House 6 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,319 Speaker 1: Press secretary, joins to talk about his book. I'll ask 7 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: him all the important questions like is the White House 8 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: actually in trouble? And what was it like being me? 9 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: Fun up on SNL added more coming up. This is 10 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is 11 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no 12 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: mistake American, Great, You're a great American Again the buck 13 00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show begins. Analysts, remember the MYVD buck sexty. No, 14 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: but I gave a totally off the record. You saw it. 15 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: It said off the record, and I said something strong, 16 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: but it's my belief, and they violated it and they 17 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: said they were violating it. It's unbelievable what's happening with 18 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: the fake news. It's unbelievable. When you say off the record, 19 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: that's a very it's not a legal term, but it's 20 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: a term of honor. So when I say, off the record, 21 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: here's the story, in order really to save time. I 22 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: don't want to waste a lot of time. And then 23 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: they say they actually printed my off the record. They 24 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: said President Trump said off the record, and then they 25 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: go onto this. I said, there's as the first, these 26 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: are very dishonorable people. But I said, in the end, 27 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: it's okay because at least Canada knows how I feel. 28 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: So it's fine, folks, welcome to the Bucks Action Show. 29 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: I've I've been telling you this was going to happen 30 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: for a long time, that journalists would begin to journalists 31 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: would just dispense with some of the the most well 32 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: they would say, most sacred tenants of journalism, um, that 33 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: journalists would break off the record, and more specifically, I 34 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: have said that journalists would blow sources in order to 35 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: get at and you've already seen that happen in some instances, 36 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: not not quite super high level just yet, but we've 37 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: had journalists lie about sources recently to get at Trump 38 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: at CNN, where they said that somebody was not a 39 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: source when he was the source. So that's pretty bad. 40 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: I'm telling you they're going to blow sources just to 41 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: get at Trump. At some point somebody will speak to them, 42 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: and then when it's in their interest to do so, 43 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: they'll say the person who told us this is they 44 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: will blow their own source. If it hurts Trump, that's coming. 45 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 1: According the asn't we already have a violation of off 46 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: the record principle. Now off the record, as the President stated, 47 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: there is not a legally binding thing. It is, as 48 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: he said, a term of honor. It is about ethics 49 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: and journalism. Journalism as a profession only has a few things. 50 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: No plagiarism, protect sources, and you know, off the record. 51 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: I mean, there there are some things that that they 52 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: all agree to. Although there's no licensing for journalism. As 53 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: I've pointed out, it's it's really just what's that in 54 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: Pirates of the Caribbean. It's not a rule, it's more 55 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: like a guideline, the thing I says. And that that's 56 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: certainly true for anything involving journalism, where you have a 57 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: lot of, especially at the top echelons of the mainstream media, 58 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: a lot of very slimy, dishonest people. And here's what 59 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: end up happening. Bloomberg had an interview with Trump in 60 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: the and I believe in the Oval Office, and he 61 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: was talking to them about his negotiations. Is very important 62 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: economic negotiations that are going on right now over trade 63 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: with our Canadian brothers and sisters to the north. Now, 64 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: as much as we all love Canadians and we do, 65 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: they are a different country and we do have some 66 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: issues of trade to speed with them. But you know, 67 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: it's within the family. But we gotta straighten this out. 68 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: And Trump spoke honestly, perhaps too honestly, to Bloomberg about this, 69 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: and sure enough, the off the record comments about his 70 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: negotiations with Canada got published. Here's what The Toronto Star 71 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: writes writes about this and comments Trump wanted to be 72 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: off the record. The U s u s. President told 73 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: Bloomberg News reporters on Thursday that he is not making 74 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: any compromise at all in the talks with Canada, but 75 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: that he cannot say this publicly because quote, it's going 76 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: to be so insulting. They're not going to be able 77 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: to make a deal. The president went on, here's the problem. 78 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: If I say no, the answers no. If I say no, 79 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: then you're going to put that and it's going to 80 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: be so insulting. They're not going to be able to 81 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: make a deal. I can't kill these people, Trump said 82 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: of the Canadian government off the record, Canada's working their 83 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: ass off. And every time we have a problem with 84 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: a point, I just put up a picture of a 85 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: Chevrolet Impaula, Trump said. The impala is A is produced 86 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: at the General Motors plant in Ontario. Trump is saying 87 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: they violated off the record in order to hit at him. Now, 88 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: journal a lot of journalists are scrambling. Now I see 89 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: this in social media. Oh no, no, there they wouldn't do. 90 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: There must be some mistake. There must be some mistake. 91 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. Doesn't sound like a mistake to me, folks. 92 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: And this is why this is so important, because this 93 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: is all Remember, we're in the process of an evolution 94 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 1: of how we think about how we discussed the media 95 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: in this country because Trump is breaking down the barriers 96 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: to the truth. Trump is actually forcing them to have 97 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: to stand and make their case to the American public 98 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: without the usual echo chamber effect. And you know somebody 99 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: who will fight back. It's not a one way street. 100 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: It's not just offense all the time for the media. Now, 101 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: the media sometimes has to play defense. But they hate 102 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: Trump as you know. And they not only have dropped 103 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: the pretense of objectivity when covering this presidency, now they're 104 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: going even beyond partisan coverage to dropping the foundational rules 105 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: of journalism to attack this president. Now that alone, you 106 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: may say, Buck, that's not really you know, I mean, 107 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: I don't expect any more from them, the journalists or 108 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: a bunch of a bunch of frauds anyway. And and 109 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: that's true. I can't argue with you there. But here's 110 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: another part of this that is important for all of 111 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: us to keep in mind. They we're willing not just 112 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: to dispense with essential central principles of journalism here to 113 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: hit Trump, they also were willing to harm us national 114 00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: sovereign economic interest to do so. That's right, folks. This 115 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: is a great example of how our own journals are 116 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: willing to undercut our own president when it comes to 117 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: negotiations that are going to help the American economy, the 118 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: American work or the American producer out there, and whether 119 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: it's dairy or you know, any number of these issues 120 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: that are being negotiated right now between them. This is 121 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: the economic equivalent of when Democrats were rooting against us 122 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: in the Iraq war and in Afghanistan too. You're gonna 123 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: see more of this. You're going to see efforts in 124 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: the media to try to strengthen China's hand. We'll talk 125 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: later about where the whole China trade war is right now. 126 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: That's come up later in the show. But you'll see 127 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: the media trying to make efforts to to bolster the 128 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: Chinese case. Anything. They will take the side of anyone 129 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: against this president. They don't care, and they will break 130 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: any rule. They will do anything in order to get 131 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: at this president. They just don't care about anything else. 132 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: This is because they have a problem, my friends, they 133 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: have a derangement. There is a very serious issue in 134 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: journalism overall right now with a form of anti Trump psychosis. 135 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: It's really taken over people. I've been talking to friends 136 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: about it in journalism this week. They say it's very real. 137 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: They know people that just cannot be objective anymore. They 138 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:34,479 Speaker 1: they they are caught off in all these lies and conspiracies, 139 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: and they're spreading these lines of conspiracies in ways that 140 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: are completely reckless, unjustifiable. But you know, this is uh, 141 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: this is a quite a day. You know, the president, 142 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: not what the president is gonna figure this out. It's 143 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: not it's not not the end of the world. Well 144 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: it's not. You know, we're not about to lose a 145 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: war because of this. But here's what Trump said about 146 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: the deal with Canada. Play nineteen and this week we're 147 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: working on Canada. We're working on a lot of different things. 148 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: Last week it was Mexico and this week it's Canada. 149 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: And if we don't make a deal with Canada, it's 150 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: just fine. But we'll see how it all works out. 151 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: I say, affectionately, we'll just have to teariff those cars 152 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: coming in. That's a lot of money coming into the 153 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: Conference of the United States. Oh, he's saying. Look, well, 154 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: we'll figure it out one way or another. I mean, 155 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: Trump is rolling with it. But I want you to 156 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: really remember this. You know this. This is a cardinal 157 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: rule of journalism. This is this is central. You do 158 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: not break off the record unless you have a really compelling, 159 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: you know, really compelling reason to do so. And I 160 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: don't know how this could be anything other than these 161 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 1: journalists like the story is too good, too too good 162 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: to sit on. We're gonna we're gonna quote the president. 163 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: Remember Bloomberg's American news media organization they're gonna quote the 164 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: President United States against his wishes, trust with him, and 165 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: assist the other side of the table in a negotiation 166 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: that that affects the United States economy and American workers. 167 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: That is what we are dealing with, folks. That is 168 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: our own media. They are so quick to dispense with 169 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: any any obligations to the American people and to patriotism, 170 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: and then you know, tomorrow will be all the First Amendment. 171 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: We're on the We're on the front lines of defending 172 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: the First Amendment. Bull are on the front lines of 173 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: being a bunch of preening cry babies who have one 174 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: concern of one concern only, and that is themselves. Let's 175 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: talk about who I think is running against the against 176 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: Trump and that that's coming up. Stay with me, folks. 177 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: I I know it sounds a little a little out 178 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: there right now. I know people they have scoffed at 179 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: me with my whole The Democrats ultimate master plan here 180 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: is to run Hillary again. I know you. I know 181 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: people think I'm crazy, but it makes sense. Look they're 182 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: gonna say that, you know, think about it this way. 183 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: It'll be a Hillary uh Kamala Harris ticket. The idea 184 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: of being that, you know, Hillary brings the gravity, toss 185 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: and the experience. All of the Hillary Clinton hacks and 186 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: hangers on would then get into the positions in government 187 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: that they think are duly owed to them and that 188 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: Trump stole from them like that will be the way 189 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: that they view it, and and then there'll be essentially 190 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: a handover. Hillary doesn't have to do it for eight years, 191 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 1: just has to do it for four and then she 192 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: writes the whole Clinton dynasty. She will have right to 193 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: the great wrong of Trump's victory over her in when 194 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: the election was stolen by the Rusks. I know it 195 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: sounds out there, but Hill Are and Kamala Harris together 196 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: I think that that right now is the most likely 197 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 1: Democrat ticket. And for those of you who are are 198 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: looking at me right now or listen to me right now, 199 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 1: but looking up at the sky saying, wow, Buck must 200 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: be he must have weekend itis right now. He just 201 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: wants to get out in party. He doesn't want to 202 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: those you think that I've lost it. John Kerry, John 203 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: Kerry uh would not. In a recent or rather in 204 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: an upcoming Face the Nation interview with Margaret Brennan was 205 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: unwilling to rule out a White House run. John Kerry, 206 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: he thinks he's gonna get in the game again, folks, 207 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: he does. You have to remember, we're not dealing with normal, 208 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: rational people here, okay. We are dealing with people who 209 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: are obsessed with their own brand. They're obsessed with how 210 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: important they are, how necessary they are for government. You 211 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: know how much they've they've contributed to America and how 212 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: and they really think that America needs them. They convinced 213 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: themselves of this because if they had to actually look 214 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: at the way that they approach uh their office otherwise, 215 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: that it would be clear that it really benefits them 216 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: more than anything else. And this is really all about them. 217 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: This is an an exercise in extreme solipsism. Remember, solipsism 218 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: is when you are the center of the universe in 219 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: your own mind, and that's certainly true of John Kerry. 220 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: I I think Hillary she's there's a reason she's gonna 221 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: be out there. She's gonna be fundraising for Democrats. There's 222 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: nobody else to fill the void, folks, nobody. I don't 223 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: really think Michelle Obama wants to step in, and I 224 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: think she's perfectly happy to be treated like a rock star. 225 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: And the closest thing in America to royalty for the 226 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: rest of her days. The Obamas have a very among Democrats. 227 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: Circles are very powerful and and still revered, not even 228 00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: just respected, revered political brand. Hillary resents the crap out 229 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: of that whole thing. And if she can just get 230 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: Bill to not stare at Ariana Grande's grand day, if 231 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I mean, I don't know 232 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: if you saw today, but Bill, Bill was at the funeral, 233 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: and sure enough Ariana Grande was performing, and there's a 234 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: whole shot of Bill Clinton and he's he's really enjoying 235 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: listening and looking at Ms Grande. Man, he is he 236 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: can he can't. He can't help himself. Folks, you got 237 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: like a compulsion. But if she can keep Bill off, 238 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: Hillary Hollow can keep Bill from being super creepy and 239 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: being a political liability for her. I I really think 240 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: that there's a I understand it's a long shot, folks, 241 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: And you know, so don't don't play this interview back 242 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: for me in a year when sure enough, you know, 243 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: you get Elizabeth Warren or somebody who's gonna be running. Uh. 244 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if I could put you know, you know, 245 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: and if you're gonna place a bet if I could 246 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: bet on the horse right now that has twenty to 247 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: one odds that I think actually would be worth it. 248 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: I think Hillary. I think Hillary is better than a 249 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: twenty one shot. I think Hillary is more like a 250 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: one in five that she runs, which when you think 251 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: about what's going on in American politics, you think about her, 252 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: She's run twice, hasn't won, and all the baggage that 253 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: she brings along, it just goes to tell you that 254 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: that's how entrenched the establishment is. That's how much the 255 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: deep state of even the the elected Democrats and the 256 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: all the different people that they bring along with them. 257 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: You know, that's how immovable they are. I know, I know, John, 258 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: do you think there's a crazy idea? Maybe maybe I'm 259 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: a little crazy. I could see I could see this 260 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: happening though, you know they how well, let me see 261 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: how how old this Hillary? Hillary? I think she's seventy 262 00:15:55,280 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: Clinton age. She yeah, she's seventy. She could so in 263 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: she would be gosh, math on the fly here seventy two, 264 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: they say, yeah, she's like Reagan age basically, seventy two 265 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: to seventy six. I'm sure we're talking. Look at what 266 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: they say about folks, look at Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Democrats 267 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: have convinced themselves that Ruth Bader Ginsburg is like some 268 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: kind of Olympic you know, triathlete or something. You know. 269 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: They take photos, They've fallen over photos of her doing planks. 270 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: I'm worried she's gonna pass out there there. They they've 271 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: created this whole I mean, how old is Ginsburg. Let 272 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: me just check this Ginsburg age. She is eighty five, folks, 273 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: Ginsburg is eighty five years old. Hillary Clinton's only seventy. 274 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: And they're hoping that Ginsburg is gonna make it at 275 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: least another three years before or something like that, at 276 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: least the three years before she would retire. Let's say 277 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: they want Ginsburg to stay as the Supreme Court just 278 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: until she's basically ninety. You don't think that they would 279 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: hope that Hillary will extend the clock so that she 280 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: I I don't know, I'm just really I really think 281 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: this is gonna happen, and it would. I would Can 282 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: you imagine or replay a rematch of Trump Hillary in 283 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: It's It's a crazy idea. And I know people will 284 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: make fun of me for this in the future, but 285 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: right now, I don't know, it's somehow it kind of 286 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: makes sense to me, somehow at all it all sticks together. Um, 287 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: I'm I'm getting I'm just getting a weird feeling about it. 288 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: There's just nobody else in the Democrat field right now. 289 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: I mean, in the end, they're saying Elizabeth Warren Biden. 290 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: I mean, how old is how old is Joe Biden? 291 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: He's got to be He's got to be up there too. 292 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: Seventy five people are talking about Biden running again. He's 293 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: seventy five. Hillary is only seventy. How can explain this 294 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: to me? Riddle me this? How is it that Joe 295 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: Biden is being talked about? Is the kind of default 296 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: Democrat candidate going into right now for the president? Bernie 297 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: Sanders seven when he six, they're talking about him running 298 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: for president? And people can tell me that Hillary is what? 299 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: Hillary is too old? Elizabeth Warren's the same age, she's 300 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: sixty nine. Donald Trump is seventy two. So you know, 301 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: I just I I think it's gonna be Hillary again. 302 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: Just give me this, folks. If I'm right, this will 303 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: be one of the greatest predictions you've ever heard on 304 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: talk radio. If I end up being right, So just 305 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: just mark this day down and then put it away 306 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: for posterity, because we're all gonna forget about this if 307 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: sure enough, Kamala Harris or some other you know, it's 308 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: kind of mainstream Democrat ends up winning the nomination. But 309 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, if I had, if I 310 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: had to put a bet down, I would bet Hillary 311 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: with Kamala Harris below her on the ticket. That is 312 00:18:49,080 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 1: what the Democrats run. He's holding the line for America. 313 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton is back. Oh, by the way, if they 314 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: write tomorrow. The enthusiasm in the room was wanting, you know, 315 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: they're like wanting. So you have to understand, I have 316 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: a better education than they do, from a much better school. 317 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: But the elite, they're the elite. They're the elite. I 318 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: went to better schools, I went to better everything. And 319 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: by the way, by the way, you're ready for this, 320 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: and I'm president and they're not the most remarkable thing 321 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: about the modern Democrat Party is how truly undemocratic they 322 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: really have become. Right, the so called resistance is bad 323 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: because their ideas have been rejected by the American people. 324 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: And we're really reach that we're getting rid of those 325 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: bad ideas one by one, so fair, and it is 326 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:17,479 Speaker 1: driving them crazy. They're the old and corrupt globalist ruling 327 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: class that squandered trillions of dollars on foreign adventures. The 328 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: whole world is watching, and the whole world gets it, 329 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: and the whole world understands exactly what's going on. That's right, folks. 330 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: Trump last night in Indiana, he was he was in 331 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: in Trump form, baby, he was doing his thing. And 332 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: you know, people, people love it. They love to hear 333 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: when he just he tears into this notion of the elites. 334 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: By the way, he's the read. One of the reasons 335 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: journalists hate him so much. There's a lot, but because 336 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly journalists are people who think of themselves as that 337 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: the the very upper echelon of society. They're they're concert 338 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: insructing a narrative of of our lives and with our 339 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: every move and every day. And then what we also 340 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: find is that a lot of journalists tend to go 341 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: to I mean, not not that I'm I don't think 342 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: that school snobbery is founded. I don't think it's true. 343 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it's important, But a lot of journalists 344 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: they think it's really important. You know, they'll tell you 345 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: very quickly. They went to Columbia Journalism School, which who 346 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: who even cares? No one, No one should ever go 347 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: to journalism school. It's a giant waste of time. But 348 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: the Columbia Journalism School as an Ivy League university. But 349 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: generally speaking, and this is Trump, he knows where to 350 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: how to push their buttons. You know, journalists are people 351 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: that they don't they don't make as much money as 352 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 1: the people they cover, but they want to have as 353 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: much power as the people they cover and influence. And 354 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: they generally went to second or third tier schools and 355 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: have a chip on their shoulder about it. It's true, 356 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: it's true. Look, I know a lot of journalists, so 357 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: when Trump pokes them on this one man, it just 358 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: gets them so angry. Uh. And that you know that 359 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: that globalism is being rejected by people, and the old 360 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: and corrupt globalist ruling class he says, is being rejected. 361 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: That's another part of this that really upsets journalists, because 362 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: you know who they all work for, folks. They all 363 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: work for the American equivalent of oligarch's or in some 364 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: cases foreign oligarchs who just happened to own like Carlos 365 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: slim Mexican oligarch who owns a big piece of the 366 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: New York Times, but domestically even like Jeff Bezos with 367 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: the Washington Post. And you go down the line and 368 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: you look at at who controls what in the media, 369 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: and these guys, all the the the elites in the media, 370 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: the mainsime media, all work for what you could basically say, 371 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: there's our equivalent of an oligarch. And Trump didn't stop 372 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: there like I said he was. He was doing. He 373 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: was just talking about some great stuff last night. He 374 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: spoke specifically about and I love what he does that 375 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: the Sarcasm't think he spoke about what he's done for women, 376 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: because we keep hearing it. And I know the polls 377 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: show Trump's numbers with women not fantastic, but I think 378 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: it's going to get better. But here's what he said 379 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: about a plate too. All right, women, this is not good. 380 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: So African American, historic, Asian, American, Hispanic and all historic. Right, Sorry, women, 381 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: I let you down again. Women's unemployment rate recently reached 382 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: only the lowest rate in sixty five years. I let 383 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: you down. I'm sorry sixty five years, folks. Feels feels 384 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: like that would be a pretty important data point. I 385 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: feel like if that had been the case in the 386 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: Obama administration, you would have heard it a lot. But 387 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: then again, comparisons to anything uh related to Obama that 388 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: are unfavorable when it comes to Trump in a while 389 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: being compared, that's something that really upsets the That's the 390 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: media and the elimination because remember that a lot of 391 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 1: the media, a lot of the journals had a big 392 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: investment in Obama's legacy because they constructed it. They created 393 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: that whole narrative of Obama, right, I mean he yes, 394 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: he gave them the two the two autobiographies. Mind you guys, 395 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: wasn't even fifty years old. He'd written to autobiographies. Wow, 396 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: has a very high opinion on himself. But they took 397 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: it and ran with it. And can remember Axel Rod 398 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: as a journalist. I mean, the whole Obama as a 399 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: political figure was was a construct. But Trump is erasing 400 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: obama Ism and when it comes to policy and the 401 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: and the Obama legacies within the government and perhaps more 402 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: clearly on the environment than anywhere else. As he said, 403 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: as Trump said last night play three, we are canceling 404 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: President Obama's illegal anti call so called clean power plan. 405 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: You know, there's an example. It's such a beautiful name, 406 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: clean power, clean power. Right. They want to have windmills 407 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: all over the place when the wind doesn't blow, what 408 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: do we do? We got problems. The environmentalists, we like 409 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: windmills are really what about the thousands of birds they're killing. 410 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: Try going to the bottom of a windmill someday. It's 411 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: not a pretty picture. The house is staring at a windmill. 412 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: Not good. When you hear that noise going round and 413 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: round and round and you're living with it, and then 414 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: you go crazy after a couple of years. Not good. 415 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: And the environmentalists they always new wonderful again, take a reasonable, 416 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: rational person approach to these things. That it all starts 417 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 1: to make sense, doesn't it. That's all the Trump is doing. 418 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: I mean, there's notion that we're gonna have all these windmills. Windmills. 419 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: Windmills stink. I don't mean they actually smell, but windmills 420 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: are are generally speaking, and eye sore. They are queas 421 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 1: and arts for migratory foul. That's right. They buzzed them up. 422 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: You get the picture. And Trump pointed that out. And 423 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: if Obama's ideas in the environment were so good, he 424 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: should have managed to get legislation through to pass it. 425 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: If Obama really had a compelling argument about how we 426 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: need to change the way that we uh the way 427 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: that we use energy in our economy, he should have 428 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: just made the case. He shouldn't have decided to use 429 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: executive orders and then have the media cover for him 430 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: on those orders. You know that that that's not what 431 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: should have happened, but it is. You know what that 432 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: means though, folks, means Trump can get rid of it. 433 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: It means that Trump is getting rid of it and 434 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: they hate it and they can't stop it. Right now. 435 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: You know that the House of Representatives is in the 436 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: balance this fall. I know that. But no matter what 437 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: they got to deal with Trump on the executive side, 438 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: he is just putting tons of great constitutionalist judges in 439 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: the on the federal bench. Kavanaugh, Baby Kavanaugh was going 440 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 1: to get through. So there's a lot to look forward 441 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: to in this whole process. Now, let's talk more about 442 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: the Mueller probe in just a moment. All I can 443 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: say this, our Justice Department and our FBI at the 444 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: top of each because inside they have incredible people. But 445 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: our Justice Department and our FBI have to start doing 446 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: their job and doing it right, and doing it now, 447 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: because people are angry. People are angry. What's happening is 448 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: a disgrace, and at some point I wanted to stay out, 449 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 1: but at some point, if it doesn't straighten out properly, 450 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: I want them to do their job, I will get involved, 451 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: and I'll get in there by half to that's right, baby, 452 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 1: Commander in chief may step in the chief executive United 453 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: States government. He may say, you don't want enough to enough, 454 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: and we're gonna have to actually clean house here. I 455 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: think it's law. It's long past time for the Department 456 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: of Justice. I like this this thing that I'm hearing 457 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: that m Rudy Giuliani, who is out there and and 458 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: is a staunch defender of the president on all these issues. 459 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: They're putting together a quote counter report according to Daily Beast. 460 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: Here that's gonna just go to the very legitimacy of 461 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: Mueller's investigation. The folks is important. This is a political fight. 462 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: Let's not fool ourselves for one second. This is all 463 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: about politics. It has been from the start. This is 464 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: a The whole rationale behind this investigation is not about 465 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: does anyone even care about the Russian inference anymore? No, 466 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: what are we doing about it? Nothing? It was a joke. 467 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: Russian interference was a drop in not just the bucket, 468 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: a drop in the ocean. Didn't change the election, change anything. 469 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: That was just a pretext to get this whole thing going. 470 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: And here's what we know is going to happen. Mueller 471 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: is gonna release this whole big report and no matter 472 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: what it says at this point, just because they've prosecuted 473 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: a bunch of different administration tied officials are formerly tried 474 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,479 Speaker 1: the administration, Uh, they're gonna say that there's so much 475 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: corruption around Trump. It's gonna be the the the way 476 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: the Democrats position this. They're gonna say there's so much 477 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: Trump corruption that even if they don't find anything, they 478 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: will um they will say it needs to be there 479 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: needs to be impeachment. So even if nothing really new 480 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: or nothing additional comes out of this, they're gonna say, oh, well, 481 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: there's there's enough already. I mean, they're going for impeachment 482 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: no matter what. That's really the bottom line. They're going 483 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,959 Speaker 1: for impeachment, no matter what the end result of them 484 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: all the approbriated. So why not get ahead of this 485 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: and make the case that this whole thing is a joke, 486 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: because it is, you know, Trump should be on offenses. 487 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,719 Speaker 1: People should be on offense of this one, and they 488 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: are on offense. All right. This is a political hack move, 489 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,959 Speaker 1: uh And that's what it's been from the very beginning. 490 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: You know, they've got this uh Manafort associate Sam Patton 491 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: that they charged today. He has pleaded guilty in a 492 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: case that is referred by Muller and you know, federal 493 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: prosecutors uh nailed this guy, all right, So what do 494 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: they get him on, by the way, failure to register 495 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: as a foreign agent, folks, or I'm sorry, acting as 496 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: an agent of a foreign principle. Um. He pleaded guilty 497 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: to acting as an agent of a foreign principle. So yeah, 498 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: and yeah, no, it's I'm sorry, it is failure register. 499 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: This is a fairer violation. Phases up to five years 500 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: in prison for this one. Five years in prison, a 501 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: fine about the two and fifty thousand dollars because he 502 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: bought because he does work in Ukraine with you know, 503 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: he was tied to man of four. He bought uh 504 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: four tickets to the inauguration, paid fifty dollars for four 505 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: tickets inauguration, uh, for a Ukrainian oligarch, so and the 506 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: and he hid that he did it through a straw 507 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: purchase or something, so it wasn't reported properly. Who the 508 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: heck cares? I mean, Okay, this is technically illegal, but 509 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: a lot of things are technically illegal, folks, like storing 510 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: classified information on your home Brew server in your basement 511 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: when you're secretary of state. That's illegal. To a lot 512 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: of things are illegal. You know that the prosecutor's office 513 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: always has to take into account the ultimate aim of justice. 514 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: It's not just about oh, well, we can find a 515 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: way to make this or to talk about this in 516 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: such a way that it's that it's illegal. Uh. To 517 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: construe this as illegal what with Trump? Anything they can do, anyone, 518 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: they can flip, anybody, they can bring into the the 519 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: fold here as part of the anti Trump resistance. And 520 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: that's why they've gone after this. Gun fair they're gonna 521 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: have this is another name, another guy, another nobody who 522 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: is gonna have it. Has has his life upended and 523 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: ruined because sure enough they want to get at Trump. 524 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: I also thought this is intering that you had an 525 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: According to CNN here you had two prosecutors leave uh 526 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: Special Council Muller's office. They're relatively junior um, but they 527 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: had been with Mueller for a while. I wonder if 528 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: some of them realize early on here that or not 529 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: early on, but in advance, that this is not gonna 530 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: end up. There's not gonna end well for the Muller probe. Actually, 531 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: I think people are going to look back on the 532 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: entire Muller Fiasca. People are honest about it. I mean, 533 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: they're the anti Trump partisans. They like it. There are people, 534 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: I want to be very clear, there are people right 535 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: now in this country, lots of them, and they a 536 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: lot of them work at CNN. There are people in 537 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: the media and the Democratic already who if there was 538 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: unconscionable bias that was exposed from Mueller, even beyond what 539 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: we already know. But I mean, if they had Mueller 540 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: on tape saying, you know, we were we gotta get Trump, 541 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: no matter what we have to do, if if we 542 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: have to fabricate evidence will stop him, to borrow from 543 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: Peter Struck, and if that audio that you know, hypothetical 544 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: audio was made public, they would still be very thankful 545 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: and happy to Muller because of all the damage he's 546 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: done to Trump's presidency already. It's not about justice, it's 547 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: not about the truth. It is about destroying this administration. 548 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: That's the primary motivation, or that's what has been pushing 549 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: them all along. And so I like that they're being proactive. 550 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: I like the Giuliani's out there making the case and 551 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: the Trump is saying, all right, d O j R. 552 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: And by the way, he's putting them on notice too. 553 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: Trump's let them not just because the Mueller probe, you know, 554 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: the Muller probe ends, there's still people who are out 555 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: there working at the d O j uh and and 556 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: then it's gonna be timed to dig into it. There 557 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: are people, remember that as part of this as well. 558 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: There are people who they may find themselves being investigated 559 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: when they no longer have the shield of the ongoing 560 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: Muller probe. You gotta remember right now, anything Trump does 561 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: that can be construed as in any way affecting the 562 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: Muller probe, Interfering with the Muller probe is politically toxic. 563 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: So that creates some degree of invulnerability at least temporary 564 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: and vulnerability for the folks at DJ and FBI who 565 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: may have been playing dirty here all along. Once the 566 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,919 Speaker 1: Mueller probe ends, and if Republicans managed to hold the House, 567 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: that's another big part of this. Once the Muller probe ends, 568 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: that stops, then we can start to really have the 569 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: GOP dig into just what exactly happened here. Why is 570 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: Bruce Or only testifying behind closed doors? For example? What 571 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: was that all about? I want to know what Bruce 572 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: Or was doing. When the American people have a right 573 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: to know there is a pre is it n see 574 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: at stake? It's no longer acceptable to say, oh, well, 575 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: you know, we need to we need to respect the 576 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: the institutional you know, institutional prerogatives that are at stake here. No, no, no, 577 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: the presidency is at stake. I think that this means, 578 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, talking about the president as being norm busting, 579 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: he needs to bust some norms on this thing. So 580 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,720 Speaker 1: I like that. By the way, Roger Stone has also 581 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: said that he expects Mueller to charge him. I think 582 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,760 Speaker 1: that's just Stone, another guy that I've interviewed this summer. 583 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: I think that's just Stone honestly trying to get attention. 584 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: I don't think he really believes that Mueller is going 585 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,479 Speaker 1: to charge him. I think that Stone realizes he wants 586 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,479 Speaker 1: to be in the center of the story. He wants 587 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 1: people to be taking photos of him and his uh 588 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: very let's say, idiosyncratically tailored suits. I think that's his plan. Um, 589 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 1: apparently Stone is quite the snappy dresser. I don't think 590 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: that he's actually gonna get charged, but we'll see. I 591 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be a or bombshell today, but 592 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 1: hopefully while I'm on air here the bombshell doesn't drop, 593 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: because then I'll look like I was wrong, which I 594 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: don't like. I've got much more coming up. Team, stay 595 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: with me.

I mean, this is a This isn't a 622 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 1: window into the soul of the Democratic Party right now. Um, 623 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: but keep in mind that health care is the number 624 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: one issue for voters according to a number of polls 625 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 1: that I've seen in the last month. So health care 626 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 1: really matters. And this is where I think that I'll 627 00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: be honestly, I think that Trump is not making enough 628 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: of a case on this when yes, Obamacare stinks, but 629 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: we haven't really fully replaced Obamacare. I'm not gonna say 630 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: anything about a certain senator right now and how he 631 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,359 Speaker 1: voted on that whole issue, but you know, there are 632 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: some people that decided they weren't going to play ball 633 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 1: with the rest of of Team GOP on that. But 634 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: we haven't gotten the full repeal and replace. And we 635 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: know that people are really concerned about healthcare. In fact, 636 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 1: here according to Forbes, because I talked about this with 637 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 1: with some frequency, when people say that they're really concerned 638 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,800 Speaker 1: about healthcare, the number one problem they have is prescription prices. 639 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,760 Speaker 1: And then the number two concerned is single payer coverage. 640 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: So that and then we've got Medicare funding, Medicaid funding, 641 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,840 Speaker 1: And when you look at this, what you see, folks, 642 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 1: is that people are worried about their prescription drugs. They 643 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 1: have been convinced that single payer is a good thing, 644 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: and they want the government to be paying for their healthcare. 645 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: This is troubling. This. If there's one thing I can 646 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,359 Speaker 1: point to that makes me worried for the mid terms, 647 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 1: it's that the Republican messaging on healthcare right now is 648 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 1: almost non existent. Yes, the economy is really good, but 649 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: healthcare is something that has a real uh impact in 650 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 1: the way voters think about which party is addressing their needs. 651 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: It goes, it goes to people's real concerns. Right to say, 652 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,839 Speaker 1: your your stock portfolio, or your your wages or whatever 653 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 1: is up ten or that's great, But in your back 654 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,320 Speaker 1: of your mind, if you think I can't afford healthcare 655 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: and if I get sick, I'm gonna go bankrupt, that 656 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,359 Speaker 1: affects you a lot more. That's gonna affect the way 657 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: you vote a lot more. But I am concerning that. 658 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, their healthcare is the universal right. Um. I 659 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 1: think that almost sounded like Cuomo, but it's Bernie. We're 660 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,320 Speaker 1: not doing a good enough job on this one. We 661 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: we the the GOP needs to flood the air waves 662 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 1: with why single payor is going to be a disaster, 663 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: why single payer is destined to be an economic catastrophe 664 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:12,399 Speaker 1: and also won't be good care. You know, I've run 665 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 1: this experiment in my own life. I've been doing doctor's 666 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: office when I had crappy healthcare, a specialist and it 667 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: was hard to get an appointment. I had to wait forever, 668 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,800 Speaker 1: and I had a doctor that I didn't like, and 669 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 1: then I didn't think it was doing a very good job. 670 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 1: They rushed me in and out, and that that was 671 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 1: my healthcare. I've also been to a doctor where I said, 672 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: I am writing a check, how much does this cost? 673 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. That doctor saw me 674 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: right on time, spent a lot of time with me, 675 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: no bs, no fuss, no muss, got exactly the care 676 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 1: that I was promised, and it was delivered in a 677 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 1: timely and efficient fashion. The market still matters. People need 678 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,800 Speaker 1: to be made aware of this. We if we do 679 00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: not have the economic incentives for we're not just more 680 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: efficient coverage, but more healthcare delivered to more people. If 681 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 1: we don't have greater delivery mechanisms for healthcare. If we're not, 682 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 1: if doctors feel like, you know what, it's not worth 683 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 1: it anymore, we're gonna have big problems here, folks. What 684 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,800 Speaker 1: we do have though, on on our side of the 685 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,320 Speaker 1: equation in this whole thing because I I am critical 686 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 1: and I'm concerned as we're going into this holiday week, 687 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,760 Speaker 1: and I'm concerned about the messaging around healthcare, no question 688 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: about it. And I see here, I ask you, what 689 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: do you What is the GOP saying they're going to 690 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: accomplish on healthcare? What are they promising to get done 691 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 1: on healthcare? I don't even know. You tell me how 692 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 1: they're approaching this issue, you know, you you tell me 693 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,919 Speaker 1: what they think the messages. Yeah, Obamacare stinks. But guess 694 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,959 Speaker 1: what they're not. They're not pushing for Obamacare anymore anymore, folks. 695 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 1: The Democrats are saying they want single payer. Forget Obamacare. 696 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 1: They just want the government to start writing checks for 697 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 1: everybody's healthcare. And you've got states now that are saying 698 00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: they want to do it too. I hope the states 699 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 1: do it for so that we'll see how disastrous it 700 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,920 Speaker 1: is and maybe that will warn us off from But 701 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:05,879 Speaker 1: as I said to you, Democrats always have a way 702 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 1: of saying that the experiment that they that has been run, 703 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: you can't draw any conclusions from it because it didn't 704 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 1: give the result they wanted. Um. But on our side 705 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 1: of of the of the fence or what we've got 706 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: going for us in this whole situation is that the 707 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 1: Democrats all they have to do is not be crazy, 708 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,919 Speaker 1: and they can't do it. They can't do it. Democrats 709 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:34,280 Speaker 1: are running around saying all sorts of just nonsensical, insane things. 710 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 1: Here is, for example, Sean Caston of Chicago's six sixth district, 711 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 1: he's a Democrat. Here's a little little comparison. He threw 712 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,440 Speaker 1: out their play nine in many ways. And this is 713 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:53,879 Speaker 1: to send the hyperbolical this Trump and a tremendicinetic count 714 00:42:54,040 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 1: because they used to to you know, act Trump and 715 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,879 Speaker 1: bin Laden have a lot in common. This This would 716 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 1: be like saying Mother Teresa and Hitler have a lot 717 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:19,719 Speaker 1: in common. They're both really charismatic and inspired devoted followings. 718 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a true statement, but it's a moronic statement. 719 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: Is an idiotic thing to say Trump and bin Laden 720 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,440 Speaker 1: have a lot I mean, first of the Democrats are 721 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,240 Speaker 1: the ones who were always you know, soft pedaling Islamic terrorism. 722 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: By the way, you see that they released a number 723 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 1: of these people tied to this facility in you that 724 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,880 Speaker 1: we that were tied to this facility out in what 725 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,280 Speaker 1: was it New Mexico. They released them without without charge. 726 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it anyway. Um, but but here you 727 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 1: got a guy who's gonna compare Trump in Midland, and 728 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 1: clearly he thinks that just by taking such a reckless 729 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,320 Speaker 1: and stupid cheap shot at the pre is it in, 730 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 1: he's helping himself. This is what I mean. Democrats, all 731 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 1: they have to do is not be crazy. They can't 732 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 1: do it. They can't do it.

Well, no, it's really not. 737 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 1: It's really not emergency care, life saving care. Yeah, you know, 738 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,880 Speaker 1: we're we're a wealthy enough society that we've got to 739 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 1: make sure that we're saving lives. But in our healthcare 740 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: covers a huge range of is you know, can I 741 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: get the government to pay for like a massage for 742 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,320 Speaker 1: me twice a week. It's great for my blood pressure 743 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,359 Speaker 1: and it really helps things out. Universal health care? Where 744 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,800 Speaker 1: does that stop and start? Of course, you're gonna have 745 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 1: government bureaucrats are in charge of this stuff, and they're 746 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 1: gonna make all these decisions. Oh but but in terms 747 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,279 Speaker 1: of Democrats that don't seem to be staying within the 748 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 1: bounds of normalcy.

That was, 819 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:54,839 Speaker 1: in my in my opinion, a classic case that that's 820 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 1: just sound. But we played a few of what psychologists 821 00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 1: called projection, because that what what he accused the president 822 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:05,960 Speaker 1: of doing, which is preparing the battlefield of you know, 823 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,600 Speaker 1: the of public opinion, essentially preparing the battlefield for what's 824 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 1: going to come. I believe that has been a primary 825 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:19,520 Speaker 1: motivation for Brennan and Clapper and Hayden all along. Now, look, 826 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:23,600 Speaker 1: Hayden's in a slightly different category because he wasn't in office, 827 00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,360 Speaker 1: and this is an important distinction. He was not serving 828 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:30,279 Speaker 1: Indi intelligence community during the Russia collusion situation, right during 829 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,240 Speaker 1: during that whole narrative, that whole fairy tale, but Clapper 830 00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,920 Speaker 1: and Brennan were comey was these are people who have 831 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,719 Speaker 1: fingerprints all over this thing. And I believe that one 832 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 1: of the reasons they've decided to just drop the mask 833 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,279 Speaker 1: and run out there and show themselves to be so 834 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:51,600 Speaker 1: rapidly partisan is that one they want to try and 835 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,280 Speaker 1: shift the Overton window of discussion around Trump and Russia 836 00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:59,279 Speaker 1: collusion in a way that will be more favorable to 837 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,160 Speaker 1: them when the truth comes out. And too, they want 838 00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,560 Speaker 1: to make sure they have established because they know how 839 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:09,360 Speaker 1: powerful it is to have the left wing of America 840 00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 1: come to your defense, to have the media start writing 841 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,719 Speaker 1: all these profiles. I mean that puff piece they wrote 842 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,000 Speaker 1: about Bruce Or, they made it sound like Bruce Or 843 00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,520 Speaker 1: was single handedly taken on the Russian mafia. You know, 844 00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,120 Speaker 1: it's just like running around like a one man army, 845 00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 1: like like Bruce Or was basically a Dolph Lundgren movie 846 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,800 Speaker 1: in the late eighties. You know, he takes on the 847 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:32,520 Speaker 1: Russian mob one Ruski at a time. I mean, it 848 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 1: was Bruce Or is a desk jockey, I mean, just 849 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,800 Speaker 1: like me back in the old CIA days. Right. Actually 850 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 1: I saw some more zones, but that's a different thing, 851 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,400 Speaker 1: and I'm still doing it, still doing analytic work. But Bruce, 852 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,919 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's ever been in in any 853 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,960 Speaker 1: of the active combat zones. All I know is that 854 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,399 Speaker 1: the guy is not exactly an imposing figure, and he's 855 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,360 Speaker 1: also not the hero that the New York Times is 856 00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,719 Speaker 1: making him sound like. He's an ideological zealot. But they 857 00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,160 Speaker 1: want to make sure that when push comes to shove, 858 00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:03,919 Speaker 1: they will have of the left wing of the Democratic Party. 859 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,279 Speaker 1: I'm really the Democratic Party overall, because the left wing 860 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 1: controls the Democratic Party. I mean, the the psychological center 861 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:15,360 Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party is far left. And they're hoping 862 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 1: that by establishing they're anti Trump bona fides, they will 863 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 1: have assistance when we finally get to all the truth. 864 00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,360 Speaker 1: And that's why you know this, this Victor Davis Hansen 865 00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 1: piece that's been making the rounds. I've been given v 866 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,279 Speaker 1: d h a lot of love this week. I'm I 867 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 1: think he's great. I think he's a fantastic writer and 868 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,800 Speaker 1: a very just a very clear minded thinker. And I 869 00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,359 Speaker 1: remember I met him out at I met him out 870 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,279 Speaker 1: at the Hoover Institute when I was out there as 871 00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 1: a visiting fellow. Um, what about a year ago, and 872 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,200 Speaker 1: I for said, you know, I read your book A 873 00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 1: War Like no Other, and you know, Victor, it was 874 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,080 Speaker 1: it was so good and I just really appreciate all 875 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:55,759 Speaker 1: your work and think you do such a good job. 876 00:51:56,440 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 1: He's kind of like, Okay, thank you. He was really 877 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,560 Speaker 1: not He's a really low key He's a really low 878 00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,440 Speaker 1: key guy. I can say that for sure. He's a 879 00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,520 Speaker 1: low key guy. I was like, Oh, I was like, 880 00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 1: I think you're one of the finest editorial writers of 881 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,160 Speaker 1: our of you know, of of my jet or not 882 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,720 Speaker 1: of my generation. But you know, around the scene today, 883 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,279 Speaker 1: that's very nice of you. You know, he's not he's 884 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,560 Speaker 1: not effusive. He's not exactly gonna give you a high 885 00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:22,799 Speaker 1: five and a hug if you see him. But he's 886 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,919 Speaker 1: a great writer's a good dude. And he's just saying 887 00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,320 Speaker 1: that Trump needs to declassify, as I've been saying for 888 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,839 Speaker 1: not just weeks but months now. I want Trump too 889 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,800 Speaker 1: deep class f five had enough. I've had enough of 890 00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 1: all of this, and that's that's what needs to happen. Here. 891 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,279 Speaker 1: We need a shock therapy of truth around this whole 892 00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,480 Speaker 1: Russia collusion thing. We already know what's coming, folks. That's 893 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,439 Speaker 1: what Clapper saying. The walls are closing in on Trump. 894 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,840 Speaker 1: What do you mean the Muller probe is run Everyone's 895 00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 1: losing patience with the Muller probe. It's running out of steam. 896 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,719 Speaker 1: The walls are closing in on Trump. How they They 897 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,520 Speaker 1: had thirty hours with McGann, the White House counsel, and 898 00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:02,360 Speaker 1: they still have no evidence of illusion. No intelligent person 899 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,200 Speaker 1: could look me in the eye and and say to 900 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,120 Speaker 1: me that if they had real evidence of collusion, we 901 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:09,560 Speaker 1: would not have heard of it by now. It's just 902 00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,640 Speaker 1: not possible. It would have leaked. It would have leaked. 903 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,520 Speaker 1: So that's why they're doing all this other stuff. You know, 904 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,560 Speaker 1: Muller's is kicking, kicking all the tires, turning over all 905 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:24,040 Speaker 1: the stones. Uh, you know, mix your metaphors, you get 906 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. That's what's going on here. So you 907 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,560 Speaker 1: can believe me, or you can believe you can believe 908 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,800 Speaker 1: Al Gore, who had this to say about Trump Plate twelve. 909 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,440 Speaker 1: So if he's watching this, what's your message to President 910 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,240 Speaker 1: Trump when it comes to climate. Oh, my only message 911 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,880 Speaker 1: would be resigned. I mean, I don't mean to be 912 00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,520 Speaker 1: flipping about it. I don't think he is prepared to 913 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:51,600 Speaker 1: listen to advise about the importance of clean air and 914 00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:56,280 Speaker 1: clean water. I don't think he is prepared to listen 915 00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:02,719 Speaker 1: to avoth on clean air and clean walloe. So he's 916 00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,759 Speaker 1: not telling him to resign over the Mueller probe, even 917 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:10,000 Speaker 1: he should resign over his environmental policies. According to al Gore, guys, 918 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's just a reminder we're always told that 919 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,240 Speaker 1: Trump is is so norm busting, and it's so crazy 920 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 1: as president. Al Gore won the popular vote in two thousand, 921 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:25,080 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in These are not 922 00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:30,560 Speaker 1: just unimpressive people, they're clowns. They are clownish, lee unimpressive. 923 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,800 Speaker 1: There's nothing to recommend them. Al Gore is a fraud. 924 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:39,080 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton is a crook and a thief. And that's 925 00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,879 Speaker 1: what the Democrats offer up to us instead. Oh, we're 926 00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,359 Speaker 1: we're so foolish because we wanted to give Trump a shot, 927 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,160 Speaker 1: not because I think I don't think Trump is some 928 00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:48,279 Speaker 1: kind of messiah. I just think he's gonna do a 929 00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,360 Speaker 1: good job. Can I just can I have somebody in 930 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,479 Speaker 1: office who's doing a good job instead of somebody who's 931 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:57,840 Speaker 1: you know, transforming the thoughts of the American literati about 932 00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,760 Speaker 1: the future of this country and grappling with that's historical 933 00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,600 Speaker 1: excesses or whatever. I just want somebody who was like, Yeah, 934 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 1: let's make things work here, Let's do a good job. 935 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,399 Speaker 1: I don't want a politician that we have to think about. 936 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:12,240 Speaker 1: In fact, I would prefer in a as Trump's success 937 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,280 Speaker 1: goes on and further and further, other than his battles 938 00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,920 Speaker 1: with the media, which are amazing, I just want to 939 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:21,560 Speaker 1: be able to ignore much of the political squabble and 940 00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:23,480 Speaker 1: focus on other problems, you know. I want to sit 941 00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,359 Speaker 1: here and talk about how do we you know, how 942 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,920 Speaker 1: do we as a country come together to deal with 943 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,320 Speaker 1: the opioid epidemic, mean, how do we um deal with 944 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,839 Speaker 1: the problem of mass structural unemployment that may come from 945 00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 1: artificial intelligence and computer learning, and how that will affect 946 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,839 Speaker 1: the workplace and essentially eliminating a lot of a lot 947 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:44,759 Speaker 1: of jobs. Right, I mean, those are real, those are 948 00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:46,920 Speaker 1: things we should all be thinking about. That that requires 949 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:53,800 Speaker 1: research and analysis and time and depth of conversation. Instead, 950 00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,880 Speaker 1: it's oh my god, Trump's a racist. He's a racist. 951 00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:03,200 Speaker 1: Trump is not a racist. They can keep saying it, 952 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,200 Speaker 1: but they keep saying it because they can actually come 953 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,239 Speaker 1: up with a real repudiation of his policies, because it's 954 00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:13,880 Speaker 1: hard to convince people that success is bad. All right, everybody, 955 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,319 Speaker 1: I got a special treat for you before you head 956 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:20,040 Speaker 1: off for your Labor Day weekend festivities. Forget about the 957 00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 1: fact that it is a kind of Marxist left wing holiday. 958 00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:24,839 Speaker 1: It's fun. You get a day off, So let's get 959 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 1: excited about that. I have a Shawn Spicer here with 960 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,160 Speaker 1: me in studio in the Freedom Hut. Shawn Spicer, as 961 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,040 Speaker 1: you all know, was the White House Press secretary. He 962 00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:37,439 Speaker 1: has a new book out, The Briefing, Mr Spicer. Great 963 00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 1: to have you here, Thanks for having me. Alright, so 964 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,040 Speaker 1: the book, tell me a bit about it. Uh So, 965 00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,040 Speaker 1: there's there's two people ask me all the time, why 966 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:45,359 Speaker 1: did I write a book? I left the White House 967 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,520 Speaker 1: and my plan wasn't to do it. But two things 968 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,120 Speaker 1: kind of came to light after I left. I was 969 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,000 Speaker 1: doing a lot of speaking going around the country. One 970 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:56,360 Speaker 1: is sort of the perception and source of information that 971 00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:57,880 Speaker 1: people had about me, where they'd say I read in 972 00:56:57,880 --> 00:56:59,480 Speaker 1: the New York Times, they're read in Politico that you 973 00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,680 Speaker 1: felt thought, and I finally realized when it comes to me, 974 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,480 Speaker 1: if I want to get my story straight, instead of 975 00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:07,759 Speaker 1: relying on a bunch of mainstream media folks, I might 976 00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,160 Speaker 1: as well tell my own story as to how I 977 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:12,640 Speaker 1: got where I got, what was going on at key 978 00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:16,240 Speaker 1: moments in time. And the second important thing, um and 979 00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:17,760 Speaker 1: you and I were talking about this coming in is 980 00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,520 Speaker 1: that there was a lot of things going on during 981 00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:21,760 Speaker 1: the campaign in terms of what we were doing it, 982 00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,360 Speaker 1: why we were doing it, the use of data are 983 00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,480 Speaker 1: ground game things that no one was reporting on at 984 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,040 Speaker 1: the time. And I thought, if I don't put this 985 00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,320 Speaker 1: down on paper and talk about what was going on 986 00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:33,680 Speaker 1: behind the scenes, it's gonna get lost to history. Yeah. 987 00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:35,960 Speaker 1: I mean, the mainstream narrative on this stuff is that 988 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:39,400 Speaker 1: Trump won because Trump and his Twitter account exactly and 989 00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:42,280 Speaker 1: then and and since then, it's because we colluded with 990 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,680 Speaker 1: some Russians, right so, right, But but I mean the 991 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,760 Speaker 1: idea is that there was a real sophisticated use of data. 992 00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,000 Speaker 1: We had ground folks, uh grunt, you know, troops around 993 00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,120 Speaker 1: the country and key battleground states were matching the data 994 00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,160 Speaker 1: with the people, we knew where to go, what to 995 00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,160 Speaker 1: what adds to run. I mean there was a level 996 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,000 Speaker 1: of sophistication that no one wanted to take the time 997 00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,520 Speaker 1: to look at because they thought, well, Hillary's got a 998 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 1: thousand people in Brooklyn, you guys have a hundred, she 999 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,440 Speaker 1: must be doing it better. Uh. And sitting back and 1000 00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:13,880 Speaker 1: showing people, walking people through the campaign, what we were seeing, 1001 00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,240 Speaker 1: how many votes we needed, where we thought we could 1002 00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,800 Speaker 1: pick them up, blah blah blah was to me crucial 1003 00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,360 Speaker 1: for people who look back on this campaign and really 1004 00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,440 Speaker 1: want to understand why Trump won. Now, there are some 1005 00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,760 Speaker 1: questions I gotta ask you, right, There's some that if 1006 00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,840 Speaker 1: I sat here and didn't ask right handed, right, yeah, 1007 00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,760 Speaker 1: people would say how could you not not not get 1008 00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,680 Speaker 1: an answer on this one? For example, Uh, why so 1009 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:39,080 Speaker 1: many departures from this White House? Um? That's a good question, 1010 00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 1: because I think there's probably three main reasons. Um. Number one, 1011 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:49,280 Speaker 1: Trump did not come into this office having been a politician, 1012 00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,720 Speaker 1: so he want if you think about Obama, Bush, Clinton, 1013 00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:53,640 Speaker 1: whatever they had been in politics, they had a cadre 1014 00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,720 Speaker 1: of people in orders that they had worked with for years. 1015 00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:58,440 Speaker 1: So you had people to call upon to Phil Key 1016 00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,040 Speaker 1: roles that you had worked it worked around. Um, he 1017 00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,400 Speaker 1: didn't have that, So he has this disparate group of folks. 1018 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,280 Speaker 1: We didn't have a robust campaign to pull from either. 1019 00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:10,240 Speaker 1: So you're pulling people that you know are from business, 1020 00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:12,760 Speaker 1: that are recommended to you, and some of them just 1021 00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:17,200 Speaker 1: are not good fits. Some of them aren't qualified. And 1022 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,840 Speaker 1: then lastly, I think there's a high burnout rate and 1023 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:23,680 Speaker 1: and that's another part of it in your estimation. I 1024 00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:25,440 Speaker 1: know you've been out for a while. Again, I mean, look, 1025 00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:29,280 Speaker 1: I think that the if if we turn the corner 1026 00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:32,000 Speaker 1: a year two, there are a lot of senior folks 1027 00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,200 Speaker 1: that I would be surprised if they don't leave. I mean, 1028 00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:38,160 Speaker 1: the level of intensity that's there never you know, just 1029 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,600 Speaker 1: of any White House is crazy, never mind this White House, 1030 00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,120 Speaker 1: which is running on an exponential factor of that. Never 1031 00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,680 Speaker 1: mind the fact that something like McGann or others have 1032 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,120 Speaker 1: been there through the campaign. So if you think about it, 1033 00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:50,440 Speaker 1: it's not just your time in the White House. I 1034 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,640 Speaker 1: spent six years at the RNC before seven months of 1035 00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,360 Speaker 1: the White House, I had spent seven almost seven years 1036 00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,120 Speaker 1: just a NonStop And when you think about that in 1037 00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:00,920 Speaker 1: terms of you know, there's very little downtime. There's very 1038 01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:04,320 Speaker 1: little weekends that you get off, and so it's not 1039 01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:06,640 Speaker 1: just that. And I mean it gets ramped up in 1040 01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,200 Speaker 1: the White House to to a level that is even 1041 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,400 Speaker 1: crazier than the fits of the final weeks of the 1042 01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,800 Speaker 1: campaign on a constant basis. But I think something like 1043 01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:17,840 Speaker 1: Don has come in and he's done his job, and 1044 01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,240 Speaker 1: he's basically saying, Okay, it's been two years plus the campaign. 1045 01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,960 Speaker 1: I need to spend some time with my family now. People, 1046 01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,280 Speaker 1: even even from from my side of it, and I'm 1047 01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,480 Speaker 1: supportive of the president. I get to be open about this, 1048 01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:31,200 Speaker 1: which is nice. I'm like a lot of journalists who 1049 01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:33,600 Speaker 1: say they're just being neutral. I support President Trump. I 1050 01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,760 Speaker 1: voted for President Trump, and I think on a policy level, 1051 01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,400 Speaker 1: he's done a great job. Is first now what eighteen 1052 01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,840 Speaker 1: months or so in office. Uh, And I'm very happy 1053 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,280 Speaker 1: with all that. However, I do here and you have 1054 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,760 Speaker 1: particular insight into this that the and and when I 1055 01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:48,680 Speaker 1: say here it, I I read it, I see it. 1056 01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:50,439 Speaker 1: It's being talked about all the time. But this White 1057 01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:55,160 Speaker 1: House from a bureaucratic and procedure standpoint, the actual White 1058 01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:59,320 Speaker 1: House is dysfunctional, that there are problems with the day 1059 01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:03,120 Speaker 1: to day one. Is that true? And if it's true, 1060 01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:07,760 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. The second part of your question is the 1061 01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,520 Speaker 1: key part, because at the end of the day, are 1062 01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:12,800 Speaker 1: you looking at style or substance? Are you looking at 1063 01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 1: results or not? And I think that if I'm of 1064 01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,720 Speaker 1: if I'm a citizen and I go, is the economy 1065 01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:19,880 Speaker 1: better or more people working on my way is going up? 1066 01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:23,600 Speaker 1: Do you really care about the process that got you there? Conversely, 1067 01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:27,080 Speaker 1: if the process is running smoothly and yet things aren't 1068 01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:30,440 Speaker 1: going well, do you really care how well something's being run? Um, 1069 01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,560 Speaker 1: I would argue that it's disruptive. The president didn't come in, 1070 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,080 Speaker 1: and this dovetails what you asked. The first question is, 1071 01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:38,360 Speaker 1: I don't think you're looking at somebody who's looking at 1072 01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,440 Speaker 1: norms and traditions and procedures and saying we've got to 1073 01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:44,200 Speaker 1: follow all these He's looking at getting things done, bringing 1074 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:47,520 Speaker 1: in people that he thinks have unique experiences and abilities 1075 01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:49,800 Speaker 1: to get things done. And he's not looking too huge 1076 01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,760 Speaker 1: tool to how things have been done since you know 1077 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:55,720 Speaker 1: Dwight Eisenhower, it's I'm gonna get it done no matter what. 1078 01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,760 Speaker 1: And part of I I talked about this in the book. 1079 01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:59,360 Speaker 1: One of the things that was fascinating to me right 1080 01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,880 Speaker 1: off the bat, and if anyone's been involved in a campaign, 1081 01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,360 Speaker 1: then they'll get this. On election night, we're down on 1082 01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,360 Speaker 1: the fifth floor of Trump Tower in a small room, 1083 01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,560 Speaker 1: gathered with the key senior staff, the vice president now 1084 01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,240 Speaker 1: that then Governor Pence, and we're all looking at results. 1085 01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,440 Speaker 1: And the President calls down Noel Vankin says where are 1086 01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:15,840 Speaker 1: you And she says, we're down in this little room 1087 01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:18,360 Speaker 1: kind of the senior team kind of pouring through results, 1088 01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,200 Speaker 1: doing a little analysis, and and why don't you come down? 1089 01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 1: And Trump says, no, come up to twelve what everybody 1090 01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,720 Speaker 1: was gathered in the middle of the war room. And 1091 01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:29,439 Speaker 1: it was interesting to me as someone who's been around 1092 01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:33,080 Speaker 1: politics a long time. Normally, they want the principle, the candidate, 1093 01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,840 Speaker 1: the member wants to be kind of among a small 1094 01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:37,680 Speaker 1: team so that they can have frank and you know, 1095 01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:40,320 Speaker 1: discussions results coming. Trump wanted to be among the people. 1096 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:42,880 Speaker 1: That was the first real sign to me that this 1097 01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,800 Speaker 1: was not a guy who was looking to run and 1098 01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:50,600 Speaker 1: act like everyone else does in politics. And he's broken 1099 01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:52,880 Speaker 1: the mold. Now I'm sure and we're speaking to Sean Spicer. 1100 01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:56,080 Speaker 1: By the way, he's got a new book out, The Briefing. Uh. Mostly, 1101 01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:58,040 Speaker 1: I think fair to say right about your time as 1102 01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:01,160 Speaker 1: White House Press secretary. I think we can all assume 1103 01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:04,320 Speaker 1: that when I asked the question, another that must ask, right, 1104 01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,040 Speaker 1: what was it like to be the press sectory? You say, oh, 1105 01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:09,400 Speaker 1: it was great to serve my country and this administration, 1106 01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,360 Speaker 1: And we can assume all that. Right. You work for 1107 01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. It's a great honor you were the White 1108 01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:16,080 Speaker 1: House Press secretary. What surprised you about being a White 1109 01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:19,800 Speaker 1: House press secretary? I think what surprised me the most 1110 01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:25,480 Speaker 1: is how little we we and I prepared for the 1111 01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,120 Speaker 1: non traditional aspect to this. I looked at the role 1112 01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,760 Speaker 1: going in. I talked to so many of my predecessors 1113 01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,000 Speaker 1: on both sides of the aisle. I prepared like a 1114 01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:36,600 Speaker 1: normal press secretary. And I don't think that we knowing 1115 01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:38,320 Speaker 1: what we did, and it was staring us in the face. 1116 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:40,120 Speaker 1: We should have said, this is not going to be 1117 01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:42,760 Speaker 1: like everyone else's White House. This is going to be 1118 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:46,680 Speaker 1: uniquely different and disruptive. And yet I prepared for it 1119 01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,760 Speaker 1: like I would have prepared for it had it you know, 1120 01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:52,120 Speaker 1: had it been in the tradition of every other guy 1121 01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:53,720 Speaker 1: that came for me. And I think that's where I 1122 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,240 Speaker 1: sort of reflect on this in the book that I 1123 01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,640 Speaker 1: looked at it traditionally as opposed to disruptively. How could 1124 01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,560 Speaker 1: you have been a disruptive White House Press secretary? I mean, 1125 01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:04,960 Speaker 1: I feel like some people, well, I think that that's 1126 01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,120 Speaker 1: you're you know, you're supposed to be because you're interacting 1127 01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:11,440 Speaker 1: with the media machine. For you to not be fitting 1128 01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,120 Speaker 1: into that mold but automatically, And I think we tried 1129 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:15,439 Speaker 1: to do that. I talked about this in the book 1130 01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:16,960 Speaker 1: that we came in and the first thing that we 1131 01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:18,960 Speaker 1: did was shake up sort of who got called on 1132 01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:20,640 Speaker 1: and when they got called on. We didn't just focus 1133 01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:22,920 Speaker 1: on the mainstream media. We looked at bringing in and 1134 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,600 Speaker 1: incorporating a lot of other voices, conservative media, uh folks 1135 01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:28,480 Speaker 1: in the quote back of the room instead of just 1136 01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:32,400 Speaker 1: the mainstream media, um, and really get some outside perspectives. 1137 01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:35,040 Speaker 1: And we brought Skype in. But I think that part 1138 01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,320 Speaker 1: of it was just to understand that the relationship was 1139 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,240 Speaker 1: going to change. It wasn't going to be that same 1140 01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:42,800 Speaker 1: relationship with the media that everyone else had. Trump doesn't 1141 01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:44,320 Speaker 1: need them in the way that they do, and that's 1142 01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,760 Speaker 1: the that's the change in the dynamic. Did you feel 1143 01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:52,240 Speaker 1: like there was either a a bizarre hostility toward you 1144 01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:55,840 Speaker 1: from the press course specifically because of the Trump administration. 1145 01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,960 Speaker 1: Were you prepared for that aspect of it. No, No, 1146 01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,360 Speaker 1: I don't. I've been doing this twenty five years. I 1147 01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:04,400 Speaker 1: know that there's a bias. I think we all know 1148 01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:06,600 Speaker 1: and it's not. It's been proven by every you know, 1149 01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:09,680 Speaker 1: tons of study, so it's not. But I've always seen 1150 01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:12,640 Speaker 1: the press hide it. This time it was out on 1151 01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:15,880 Speaker 1: full display. They've lost all sense of objectivity and they 1152 01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,200 Speaker 1: don't care about it. I mean, it's fascinating to me 1153 01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:21,000 Speaker 1: to see the openness by which many of these people 1154 01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:26,280 Speaker 1: are very clear about their their um animosity there uh, 1155 01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,920 Speaker 1: dislike of this president. They're not They're not even just partisan. 1156 01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,840 Speaker 1: In my estimation. What I see is is activism, right. No, 1157 01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,880 Speaker 1: not sometimes many times. I mean, you're right that there 1158 01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:39,280 Speaker 1: is the sense of objectivity is gone, yeah, and that 1159 01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:41,760 Speaker 1: that's definitely different. And it's one thing that I actually 1160 01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,720 Speaker 1: like that about the administration because I think that now 1161 01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,400 Speaker 1: it's harder than ever before for people to keep up 1162 01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:49,200 Speaker 1: this pretense. Uh so so, and I know people ask 1163 01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:53,000 Speaker 1: about this all the time. I'm curious, uh and you know, 1164 01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:54,880 Speaker 1: I have a feeling I know where you might go 1165 01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:56,880 Speaker 1: to this, but I'll just put it out there. Do 1166 01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:59,720 Speaker 1: you embrace the nickname spicy? And how did you feel 1167 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:02,680 Speaker 1: about whole SNL send up of you with Melissa McCarthy 1168 01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:05,040 Speaker 1: and all this stuff. I've been called so many things, 1169 01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:08,160 Speaker 1: and if that's what you called me, pretty good with it. 1170 01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:14,520 Speaker 1: I um that I take that. That's what I'm saying. 1171 01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:16,280 Speaker 1: I've I've been called a lot of nasty things, so 1172 01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:19,840 Speaker 1: I'll take that. I think, Um, I don't think by 1173 01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,600 Speaker 1: any means, I was ever prepared for that. I mean 1174 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:26,120 Speaker 1: because it was funny. I actually rarely find I rarely 1175 01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:30,160 Speaker 1: find SNL sketches funny. Occasionally I do, and one of 1176 01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:31,760 Speaker 1: the ones I did with you was actually finn The 1177 01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:33,520 Speaker 1: first one was funny, and I agree with that. I 1178 01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:35,120 Speaker 1: kind of got to chuckle out of it. I laughed 1179 01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:38,080 Speaker 1: at the ones beyond that. It like our discussion with 1180 01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:40,640 Speaker 1: the Press Corps, they started to become personal and mean 1181 01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,360 Speaker 1: and victual as opposed to funny, and I was like, Okay, 1182 01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,280 Speaker 1: I don't I get what you're doing, but I don't 1183 01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:47,880 Speaker 1: think it's funny, and you know, I think that's a 1184 01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:50,280 Speaker 1: reflection also. And we saw this with Jimmy Fallon right. 1185 01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:52,680 Speaker 1: He tustled, He tustled Trump's hair, and people who are 1186 01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:57,760 Speaker 1: just trying to be funny get angry. It was like 1187 01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,520 Speaker 1: a year later and suddenly now he's apologized for what 1188 01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:03,680 Speaker 1: for being funny. The guy's a comic, he's late night 1189 01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,000 Speaker 1: he is funny, and now suddenly he's having to apologize 1190 01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:10,320 Speaker 1: for being funny because he's not you know, he's not considered. Uh, 1191 01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:13,480 Speaker 1: he hasn't attacked him as much as he's supposed to. 1192 01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:18,240 Speaker 1: According to the Left, The brook is the Briefing. It's 1193 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:22,760 Speaker 1: out now available on Amazon right and where Sean Spicer 1194 01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:24,880 Speaker 1: dot com. You can go wherever you want, John Spicer 1195 01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:27,120 Speaker 1: dot com, Mr Shawn Spicer. Great to actually beat you 1196 01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:32,320 Speaker 1: a person that we gather here today to honor an 1197 01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:37,960 Speaker 1: American patriot serve a cause greater than himself. And we 1198 01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:43,000 Speaker 1: gather here remembering a man who knew how he wanted 1199 01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:47,120 Speaker 1: to be remembered. And so let me say to all 1200 01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:51,200 Speaker 1: those gathered and his beloved family, on behalf of a 1201 01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:56,240 Speaker 1: grateful nation, we will ever remember that John McCain served 1202 01:07:56,360 --> 01:08:03,240 Speaker 1: his country, and John McCain served his country honorably. Thank God, 1203 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,320 Speaker 1: bless the memory of John McCain. You know, we've got 1204 01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:10,480 Speaker 1: the way that the Republicans, like like Vice President Pence 1205 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:14,320 Speaker 1: talk about John McCain, and look, it is the man's funeral, okay, 1206 01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:16,320 Speaker 1: And he did serve his country honorably. I have a 1207 01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:18,320 Speaker 1: lot of political disagreements with him, but you know I 1208 01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:22,720 Speaker 1: do there there is a need for decorument and respect here, 1209 01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:24,200 Speaker 1: and I've tried to show that in all of our 1210 01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:29,000 Speaker 1: discussions about the recently departed senator. I mean, there's absolutely 1211 01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:32,880 Speaker 1: a need for that. And then there's the way the 1212 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:36,479 Speaker 1: Democrats do things. I have just thought it was so 1213 01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:43,680 Speaker 1: gross and so um just so unbecoming to hear Democrats 1214 01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:46,240 Speaker 1: who will do this. They're playing the game, they're they're 1215 01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:49,160 Speaker 1: so clear about it. Oh, isn't John McCain so great? 1216 01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:53,720 Speaker 1: Unlike that Trump guy. Oh isn't John McCain so, you know, 1217 01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,200 Speaker 1: fantastic in how he served his country, not like Trump, 1218 01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,560 Speaker 1: who's you know, a chicken hawker. Well, whatever it may be, 1219 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:04,560 Speaker 1: it's very very frustrating, and it's typical. Right, we know 1220 01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:06,360 Speaker 1: that this is how the Democrats play the game. We 1221 01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:11,519 Speaker 1: know this is how they how they operate. But um, here, here, 1222 01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:13,320 Speaker 1: here's the here's an example of Look, Biden had a 1223 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:15,000 Speaker 1: lot of nice things to say about McCain, But how 1224 01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:18,360 Speaker 1: about just making about McCain and not have any implied 1225 01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:22,040 Speaker 1: political messages placed out it. It wasn't about politics with John. 1226 01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:25,280 Speaker 1: He could disagree on substance, those of the underlying values 1227 01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:32,599 Speaker 1: that animated everything John did, everything he was could come 1228 01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:36,400 Speaker 1: to a different conclusion. But were he parked company with you? 1229 01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:44,759 Speaker 1: If you lack the basic values of decency, respect, knowing 1230 01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:49,920 Speaker 1: that this project is bigger than yourself. The intolerance for 1231 01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:53,679 Speaker 1: the abusive power. He could not stand the abusive power 1232 01:09:54,640 --> 01:10:02,040 Speaker 1: wherever he saw it. Why does Joe Biden give a 1233 01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:08,120 Speaker 1: speech like this whenever he wants to be taken seriously? Well, 1234 01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:12,880 Speaker 1: what Biden? His cadence is very forced and annoying. But 1235 01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:15,240 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I know that maybe I'm reading a little 1236 01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:17,320 Speaker 1: too much between the lines here, but I see this 1237 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:21,000 Speaker 1: as uh, this notion of the intolerance of the abuse 1238 01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:23,760 Speaker 1: of power. I mean, that's a pretty I think that's 1239 01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:27,120 Speaker 1: a pretty clear swipe at at Trump. I've never heard 1240 01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,439 Speaker 1: of John when else in his life, as John McCain 1241 01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,679 Speaker 1: made some big in his political life, made some big 1242 01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:37,599 Speaker 1: uh statement about intolerance for the abuse of power. Now, 1243 01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:41,479 Speaker 1: I think that that's clearly Joe Biden trying to make 1244 01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:43,840 Speaker 1: this all about Trump. And they were doing it all week, folks. 1245 01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:46,040 Speaker 1: You know, whether it was Jake Tapper over at ten 1246 01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:47,720 Speaker 1: and saying, you know, unlike you know, he made the 1247 01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,240 Speaker 1: whole comparison. I forget exactly how he said it. He 1248 01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:55,880 Speaker 1: made the comparison, and it's uh, you know, it's a 1249 01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:59,960 Speaker 1: very it's a very annoying habit the Democrats are in 1250 01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:03,360 Speaker 1: to pretend that, to pretend that they are just being 1251 01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:07,759 Speaker 1: patriotic and respectful, when really they are trying to use 1252 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:13,120 Speaker 1: their use that as a political weapon. It's they're never 1253 01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:14,680 Speaker 1: able to put it aside. But this is what you 1254 01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:19,240 Speaker 1: should I suspect expect even more of going forward now 1255 01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:23,240 Speaker 1: because they've politicized everything. Nothing can be a political uh, 1256 01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:26,840 Speaker 1: nothing is sacred or beyond the reach of leftist politics. 1257 01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:31,160 Speaker 1: And and including the way that many prominent Democrats are 1258 01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:34,519 Speaker 1: talking about what's gone on at the you know what, 1259 01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:38,040 Speaker 1: what the reality is here of the relationship between Trump 1260 01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:46,840 Speaker 1: and uh. The recently departed senator from Arizona. I don't know, guys, 1261 01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:51,840 Speaker 1: you you reached this point. Oh, there's another funeral that 1262 01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,040 Speaker 1: happened to la. I read the Franklin's funeral and and 1263 01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:56,799 Speaker 1: there's more politicization going on at this one. Play sixteen, 1264 01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:02,680 Speaker 1: you know, the Sunday on my show, I misspelled respect, 1265 01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:07,560 Speaker 1: and a lot of y'all, a lot of y'all corrected me. 1266 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:13,040 Speaker 1: Now I want you all to help me correct President Trump, 1267 01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:18,679 Speaker 1: to teach him what it means. A pretty good turn 1268 01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:20,680 Speaker 1: of turn of phrase there, I guess from that. Look, 1269 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,400 Speaker 1: alf Al Sharpton, don't don't mistake it, you know, don't 1270 01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:26,600 Speaker 1: get it twisted. He's got skills. You know, he's a 1271 01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,479 Speaker 1: he's a Charlattan that he's a he's a talented Charlatan. Uh. 1272 01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:33,400 Speaker 1: You know R E. S. P. I. C. T. I 1273 01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:37,920 Speaker 1: will never forget that. Uh. But you know he's look 1274 01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,639 Speaker 1: at Areta Franklin's funeral. He could say whatever he wants. 1275 01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:43,680 Speaker 1: And that's that's all. But but I'm just saying that 1276 01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,719 Speaker 1: taking shots at Trump, even when you're at a funeral, 1277 01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:50,519 Speaker 1: is is pretty standard operating procedure. Now for Democrats, there's 1278 01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:52,720 Speaker 1: nothing they'll do it in church. They'll do it at 1279 01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:55,720 Speaker 1: a funeral, you know, they'll they'll do it anywhere they 1280 01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:58,519 Speaker 1: can because they can never do it enough. That things 1281 01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:01,080 Speaker 1: that came across when I was talking to Listen Milano, really, 1282 01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:03,240 Speaker 1: you're you think the media is not hustile enough the 1283 01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:05,920 Speaker 1: Trump like are are you? Are you a lunatic? Uh? 1284 01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:08,000 Speaker 1: And she said yeah, I mean he's not hustled off 1285 01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:11,640 Speaker 1: the Trump, which which was just remarkable, folks, It is 1286 01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:14,519 Speaker 1: an utterly remarkable thing that she was saying. We got 1287 01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:16,640 Speaker 1: a big hour three here coming up. Stay with me. 1288 01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:20,880 Speaker 1: Strike Force Energy veteran owned, American made, and one of 1289 01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:24,080 Speaker 1: the hottest energy products on the market.

Well, 1307 01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,040 Speaker 1: certainly China is not prepared for a long term struggle 1308 01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:24,600 Speaker 1: with the United States, and the Chinese know that the 1309 01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:27,360 Speaker 1: only way they can win this trade war is if 1310 01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:30,400 Speaker 1: they bluff President Trump down. And by the way, it's 1311 01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:32,720 Speaker 1: not really a trade war now, it's a chech war, 1312 01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:35,559 Speaker 1: because we're talking about teriffs that are imposed under Section 1313 01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:37,960 Speaker 1: three or one of the Trade Act of V four 1314 01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:42,280 Speaker 1: to remedy China's theft of US intellectual property. That theft 1315 01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,519 Speaker 1: runs in the hundreds of billions of dollars a year. 1316 01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:46,800 Speaker 1: And if you don't like the tariffs, China, you know, 1317 01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:51,200 Speaker 1: then just stop stealing our stuff. Our man Gordon Chang. 1318 01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:53,720 Speaker 1: They're laying it down other today This is one of 1319 01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:57,519 Speaker 1: the stories that gets nowhere near as much attention as 1320 01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:00,320 Speaker 1: it should right now. And why is that? Oh? That right? 1321 01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:05,200 Speaker 1: Because it's positive for Trump? What us shock? But the 1322 01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:12,080 Speaker 1: the so called trade war is already moving in America's favor. 1323 01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:15,719 Speaker 1: And what we're finding out is that China has suffered 1324 01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:20,360 Speaker 1: a three month export downturn as Donald Trump's tariffs have 1325 01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:24,880 Speaker 1: have taken effect against them. And the truth is that 1326 01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:28,599 Speaker 1: there's a recognition now that didn't really exist before among 1327 01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:30,519 Speaker 1: a lot of people in this country that wait a second, 1328 01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:34,680 Speaker 1: why why do we act? And this really this goes 1329 01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:36,479 Speaker 1: to the heart of Obamas M I've got a lot 1330 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,080 Speaker 1: to say on this one, But why do we act 1331 01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:43,439 Speaker 1: like we have a we can what it comes to 1332 01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:47,240 Speaker 1: dealing with the Chinese? Why why do we think that 1333 01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:50,120 Speaker 1: that that that we if we were to upset China, 1334 01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:52,760 Speaker 1: they'd be able to just tank our economy and they 1335 01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:56,000 Speaker 1: would be fine. America is number one. We have the 1336 01:15:56,080 --> 01:16:00,600 Speaker 1: strongest economy in the world. The Chinese have been engaged 1337 01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:07,439 Speaker 1: in some very uh deceptive, dishonest, unfair trade practices for 1338 01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:11,599 Speaker 1: a long time. We're just supposed to allow that to happen. 1339 01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:15,320 Speaker 1: Where is the sense in that and this is it's 1340 01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:19,160 Speaker 1: a revelation, folks. You know, we had for eight years 1341 01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:21,920 Speaker 1: of the Obama administration, we had a president whose approach 1342 01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:26,200 Speaker 1: to every foreign policy challenge revolved around a few fundamentally 1343 01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:29,920 Speaker 1: false ideas like the US is more or less a 1344 01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,680 Speaker 1: problem in world affairs. We do some good things, but 1345 01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:36,759 Speaker 1: on on balance, we create more problems than we fix, 1346 01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:39,920 Speaker 1: and we have things to be sorry for. We need 1347 01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:42,720 Speaker 1: to be more humble, We need to ask permission and 1348 01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:46,360 Speaker 1: ask forgiveness. And that was really the way the Obama 1349 01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:50,320 Speaker 1: administration approached a lot of foreign policy problems. And on 1350 01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:53,800 Speaker 1: the economy, there was in the background always this thought 1351 01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:57,880 Speaker 1: with Obama and his advisors in dealing with any foreign 1352 01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:02,800 Speaker 1: policy economic issue, that America had exploited the world in 1353 01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:05,920 Speaker 1: some way. Right, that that the same the same idea 1354 01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:08,200 Speaker 1: that you know, the fat cats and the rich here 1355 01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:11,880 Speaker 1: in America are are to blame for the problems of 1356 01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:17,479 Speaker 1: the poor. True leftists in the Obama ideological mold think 1357 01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:21,560 Speaker 1: that America's prosperity has come directly at the expense of 1358 01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:26,960 Speaker 1: other countries. So really we have to make amends for that, 1359 01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:31,320 Speaker 1: We have to make global reparations. And that's what ties 1360 01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:35,880 Speaker 1: into are the push the Obama administration had for for example, 1361 01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:39,680 Speaker 1: climate change, right, climate change, as the left sees, it 1362 01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:43,400 Speaker 1: isn't just about saving the planet. It's also about about 1363 01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:48,439 Speaker 1: a massive transfer of wealth from developed first world nations 1364 01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:54,799 Speaker 1: to poor or developing nations. And that's essentially us paying 1365 01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:59,479 Speaker 1: them and transferring massive amounts of wealth to other countries 1366 01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:04,840 Speaker 1: because we've exploited the global environment so much, and you know, 1367 01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:08,040 Speaker 1: we we need to essentially, like I said, pay reparations, 1368 01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:11,200 Speaker 1: make amends. We need to buy off the rest of 1369 01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:14,120 Speaker 1: the developed world. Meanwhile, China and into you're laughing at 1370 01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,599 Speaker 1: us over this. There's like the guys are idiots, right, 1371 01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:19,920 Speaker 1: But but Obama always took that approach. And you saw 1372 01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:24,599 Speaker 1: on trade such ossified thinking. It was such an echo chamber. 1373 01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:28,240 Speaker 1: And and I remember approaching this with you, and I 1374 01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:30,280 Speaker 1: really appreciated that all of you listening to show you 1375 01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:32,479 Speaker 1: were willing to even you know, those of you who 1376 01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:36,439 Speaker 1: are much much more um economically minded, or much more 1377 01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:39,040 Speaker 1: into you know, study the economy that I'm I was 1378 01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:41,640 Speaker 1: not an economist by trade or in school. And this 1379 01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:44,759 Speaker 1: is really my areas of primary interests or national security 1380 01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:47,800 Speaker 1: and politics. The economy is third, but I'm learning as much. 1381 01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:49,920 Speaker 1: I'm an autodid act on the economy. I'm learning as 1382 01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:53,000 Speaker 1: much as I can. And I just thought, wait, hold 1383 01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:56,240 Speaker 1: on a second. When everyone is saying something, I actually 1384 01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:58,280 Speaker 1: get a little suspicious when you know, when it comes 1385 01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:00,479 Speaker 1: to an issue like the economy or trade eight or something. 1386 01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,720 Speaker 1: I said, hold on, why are we all saying that? 1387 01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:05,160 Speaker 1: You know, it's all we were free traders? What does 1388 01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:08,120 Speaker 1: that mean? You know, when people can't answer a question 1389 01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:12,400 Speaker 1: without becoming hostile, then you should ask more questions. And Trump, 1390 01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:15,479 Speaker 1: because he came at this from the perspective of somebody 1391 01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:17,920 Speaker 1: who didn't care what the consensus thought of him or 1392 01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:20,640 Speaker 1: his ideas, was able to keep pushing even though there 1393 01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:23,679 Speaker 1: were so much headway. And now we're seeing what the Chinese. 1394 01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:26,240 Speaker 1: Oh wait a second, if this is a game a chicken, 1395 01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:31,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna pull off the road first. Um. And the 1396 01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:36,600 Speaker 1: the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, for example, is this is 1397 01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:39,479 Speaker 1: according to a political today is actiously watching the tariff 1398 01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:42,479 Speaker 1: development in the US. Quote. If the US goes ahead 1399 01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:45,800 Speaker 1: with the two billion billion dollar plan, the impact on 1400 01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:49,519 Speaker 1: Chinese exports will be material, said the source, who declined 1401 01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:52,240 Speaker 1: to be named. The leading export indicator fell into the 1402 01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:56,799 Speaker 1: contraction zone from June when the Trump administration announced tariffs 1403 01:19:56,840 --> 01:20:00,479 Speaker 1: on fifty billion dollars of Chinese merchandise. You know, one 1404 01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:01,800 Speaker 1: of the reasons I like to look at the market 1405 01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:04,040 Speaker 1: as an indicator of what's really going on on foreign 1406 01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:08,840 Speaker 1: policy is because the market is where people that they 1407 01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:12,080 Speaker 1: can't hide what they're really doing or really thinking. Uh. 1408 01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:14,640 Speaker 1: The market has its own way of speaking. And if 1409 01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:17,200 Speaker 1: if people were really if it wasn't just Trump hatred 1410 01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:20,320 Speaker 1: pushing a lot of this oh my gosh, trade war talk, 1411 01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:23,599 Speaker 1: you would see that reflected in what people were doing 1412 01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:26,920 Speaker 1: with their money. Right, Because I don't care how you know, 1413 01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:29,200 Speaker 1: ideologically committed you are as a leftist, you don't want 1414 01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:30,760 Speaker 1: to risk your life savings. You don't want to risk 1415 01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:34,280 Speaker 1: your four oh one k or or your entire stock portfolio. 1416 01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:37,040 Speaker 1: If you really believe that we are heading for a 1417 01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:41,240 Speaker 1: massive economic decline because of what Trump is doing, and 1418 01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:44,600 Speaker 1: instead of having for massive decline, it seems like the 1419 01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:46,800 Speaker 1: sky is the limit for the first time, which when 1420 01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:53,120 Speaker 1: you take a true free market capitalist approach, Uh, then 1421 01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:55,400 Speaker 1: it also seems to make sense. Why should there be 1422 01:20:55,560 --> 01:21:00,080 Speaker 1: an upper limit here? Why shouldn't America just continue to 1423 01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:04,439 Speaker 1: get wealthier as we innovate and become more efficient and 1424 01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,880 Speaker 1: we make more progress in our technology. And you know, 1425 01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:10,080 Speaker 1: we should be getting wealthier all the time, and I 1426 01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:12,800 Speaker 1: know that's happening, but we have this idea of the 1427 01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:16,519 Speaker 1: cyclical nature of wealth creation this country. And I know 1428 01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:18,559 Speaker 1: some of your like Buck read the Creature for jack 1429 01:21:18,600 --> 01:21:20,400 Speaker 1: Al Island and which is a great book, by the way, 1430 01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:22,800 Speaker 1: And you know the fed boom bus cycle. Yeah, I 1431 01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:25,840 Speaker 1: know that's all still very real, but that doesn't really, 1432 01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,760 Speaker 1: that doesn't have to be our reality. It only has 1433 01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:32,680 Speaker 1: been our reality because of some monetary policies, because of 1434 01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:35,080 Speaker 1: the way the government has been intruding on the market, 1435 01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:37,760 Speaker 1: and a whole bunch of other factors. But we could 1436 01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:40,439 Speaker 1: be into a we are already or in a period 1437 01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:46,080 Speaker 1: of unparalleled economic growth in terms of where the stock 1438 01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:49,240 Speaker 1: market is now and and how long it's overall, if 1439 01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:52,360 Speaker 1: you go back now for for many years, how long 1440 01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:56,519 Speaker 1: it's been going in an upward trajectory. So there's a 1441 01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:59,719 Speaker 1: lot of really good stuff here and and on China. 1442 01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:02,640 Speaker 1: There was so much I just have to remember there 1443 01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:05,160 Speaker 1: was so much fearmongering around this. I mean, there was 1444 01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:08,080 Speaker 1: such such a discussion about how Trump was going to 1445 01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:10,519 Speaker 1: destroy the global economy and oh, how could he and 1446 01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:12,960 Speaker 1: all these terrible things we're gonna happen, And now we're 1447 01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:14,720 Speaker 1: hearing more about how do Yeah, China is feeling it. 1448 01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:18,280 Speaker 1: And you know what, folks, China could just stop its 1449 01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:22,760 Speaker 1: predatory trade practices and we could have normalized free trade 1450 01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:25,920 Speaker 1: relations with China and maybe that would al show push 1451 01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:30,240 Speaker 1: the Chinese government more towards uh, you know, openness and transparency, 1452 01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:32,679 Speaker 1: and there could be even some long term political benefits 1453 01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:35,320 Speaker 1: from all of this. Look, I know there can be 1454 01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:38,240 Speaker 1: there all There's a thousand ways this whole thing can 1455 01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:40,600 Speaker 1: go out there go wrong. I get it. I'm not 1456 01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:43,840 Speaker 1: saying there's no risk. There is risk, But we weren't 1457 01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:45,479 Speaker 1: told there was risk. We were told there was the 1458 01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:52,160 Speaker 1: certainty of catastrophe. And Trump has swatted that aside by 1459 01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:55,160 Speaker 1: just taking a common sense approach. Isn't one of the 1460 01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:58,960 Speaker 1: great benefits of the Trump administration? Look, the great benefit 1461 01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:03,080 Speaker 1: of President Trump himself, for whatever faults and personal flaws 1462 01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:06,599 Speaker 1: or idiosyncrasies or whatever you want to talk about, Trump 1463 01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:09,320 Speaker 1: is somebody who is finally and how many of us 1464 01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:11,080 Speaker 1: have thought this for a long time why can't we 1465 01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:14,400 Speaker 1: have somebody who is our president as somebody who's a 1466 01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:18,400 Speaker 1: political leader who just uses common sense. It just thinks, 1467 01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:21,960 Speaker 1: what would a normal person who approaches this problem think 1468 01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,600 Speaker 1: about the problem, and how would that person try to 1469 01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:27,200 Speaker 1: solve it? Not what do all the smart people say? 1470 01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:29,080 Speaker 1: And what do all the different special interests come at 1471 01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:31,679 Speaker 1: this with, and what's the history of the social justice 1472 01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:35,439 Speaker 1: that surrounds No, what would a normal common sense approach be. 1473 01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,519 Speaker 1: He's doing that on a whole bunch of issues and 1474 01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:42,559 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, like magic, it's working. Is there gonna 1475 01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:44,840 Speaker 1: be a trade ward with China? I don't know, but 1476 01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:48,920 Speaker 1: so far what we have is trade victory looming when 1477 01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:52,760 Speaker 1: it comes to our relationship with China, and nobody was 1478 01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:56,960 Speaker 1: calling for that six months ago. You know, it can 1479 01:23:57,040 --> 01:24:00,360 Speaker 1: be really frustrating when you're making smart decisions, you're doing 1480 01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:02,800 Speaker 1: everything you should for your business, but you can't get 1481 01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:07,519 Speaker 1: critical answers back from trusted partners. Right. You need somebody 1482 01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:11,120 Speaker 1: doing background investigations for your business. Or if you're a 1483 01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,559 Speaker 1: property owner, you need somebody who can look into your 1484 01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:16,120 Speaker 1: tenants background and make sure you're renting to somebody that 1485 01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:18,519 Speaker 1: you can trust. And you need answers fast. You need 1486 01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:22,240 Speaker 1: people that are very on the ball and aren't outsourcing 1487 01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:24,519 Speaker 1: your information to somebody else. So when you call them, 1488 01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:26,320 Speaker 1: they're saying, oh, well, let's get the answers from some 1489 01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:28,960 Speaker 1: other party. No, no, no, you want the answers right away. 1490 01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:34,040 Speaker 1: Global Verification Network is your answer. They have expert delivery 1491 01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:37,560 Speaker 1: of high quality screening services for employers, property managers, and 1492 01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:41,000 Speaker 1: financial companies. You should really check them out. They should 1493 01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:46,000 Speaker 1: become your first choice, your first option for background investigations. 1494 01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:49,040 Speaker 1: Go to my g VN dot com. Again, that's my 1495 01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:53,439 Speaker 1: GVN dot com. Or call eight five five nine zero 1496 01:24:53,920 --> 01:25:00,800 Speaker 1: five three one eight first. And to walk on the moon, 1497 01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:06,320 Speaker 1: that would be something we've chosen. A job so difficult, 1498 01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:12,240 Speaker 1: requiring so many technological developments, we're gonna have to start 1499 01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:19,439 Speaker 1: from scratching. Only after we master these tasks. Do we 1500 01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:23,320 Speaker 1: consider trying to land on the moon, Neil. If this 1501 01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:26,760 Speaker 1: flight is successful, you'll go down in history. What kind 1502 01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:28,400 Speaker 1: of thoughts do you have about that? We're planning on 1503 01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:35,120 Speaker 1: the flight being successful. The vehicle's not safe. You need 1504 01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:37,280 Speaker 1: to fail down here so we don't fail up there. 1505 01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:40,519 Speaker 1: This isn't just another trip, Neal. Do you say you're 1506 01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:45,559 Speaker 1: coming back. There are risks, but we have every intention 1507 01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm coming back and we go quick y for three two. 1508 01:25:56,320 --> 01:26:00,400 Speaker 1: Now there you have the trailer for First Man, which 1509 01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:04,439 Speaker 1: automatically feels a little bit like the Patriarchy, Right, I 1510 01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:07,720 Speaker 1: mean that kid, of course? Or do I? This is 1511 01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:11,559 Speaker 1: a biopic of Neil Armstrong, right man, the first man 1512 01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:13,920 Speaker 1: to land on the Moon, And you would think that 1513 01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:16,240 Speaker 1: this is the kind of movie that just based on 1514 01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:19,120 Speaker 1: the storyline, Come on, it's not gonna be political, right, 1515 01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:25,440 Speaker 1: It's gonna be an inspiring film about a great American achievement. 1516 01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:27,879 Speaker 1: That's right. This was achieved by the United States of America, 1517 01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:30,360 Speaker 1: by a whole lot of people working on the program, 1518 01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:34,720 Speaker 1: by the brave astronauts who went up there. But if 1519 01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:36,880 Speaker 1: you thought that it would just be a recreation of 1520 01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:42,240 Speaker 1: history with some dramatic flair, you would be incorrect, folks. 1521 01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:46,519 Speaker 1: That's right. Uh. This movie, which starts Ryan Gosling as 1522 01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:52,120 Speaker 1: Neil Armstrong, has a little omission in it. Remember that 1523 01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:54,240 Speaker 1: whole thing about the first man on the Moon that 1524 01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:56,519 Speaker 1: when you think of it, what what do you picture 1525 01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:59,639 Speaker 1: in your mind? Some of your like a sound stage, 1526 01:26:59,720 --> 01:27:03,080 Speaker 1: because if they faked it, no, no, stop that they 1527 01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:06,600 Speaker 1: did not fake it. How do I know, Well, I 1528 01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:08,360 Speaker 1: don't know. Smart people tell me they didn't fake it. 1529 01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:12,439 Speaker 1: But no, really, when you think back to it, there's 1530 01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:15,160 Speaker 1: the moonscape from the surface of the Moon. There's a 1531 01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:17,800 Speaker 1: an astronaut and what else is what else is in 1532 01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:21,760 Speaker 1: that photo? Folks? What else is there? All right? A 1533 01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:27,000 Speaker 1: big American flag on the moon? You know what they 1534 01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:30,960 Speaker 1: decided to take out of this movie in that iconic moment, 1535 01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:35,800 Speaker 1: the American flag. That's right, folks. Ryan Gosling, who's a 1536 01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:41,400 Speaker 1: Canadian a h he he was asked about this one 1537 01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:45,160 Speaker 1: and he said, quote, I think this was widely regarded 1538 01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:48,559 Speaker 1: in the end as a human achievement, and that's how 1539 01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:51,920 Speaker 1: we chose to view it. I also think Neil was 1540 01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:55,920 Speaker 1: extremely humble, as were many of these astronauts, and time 1541 01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:59,120 Speaker 1: and time again he deferred the focus from himself to 1542 01:27:59,240 --> 01:28:02,280 Speaker 1: the two to four thousand people who made the mission possible. 1543 01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:04,800 Speaker 1: He was reminding everyone that he was just the tip 1544 01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:07,080 Speaker 1: of the iceberg, and that's not just to be humble. 1545 01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:09,720 Speaker 1: That's also true. So I don't think that Neil viewed 1546 01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:12,680 Speaker 1: himself as an American hero. From my interviews with his 1547 01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:14,959 Speaker 1: family and people, that knew him. It was quite the opposite, 1548 01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:19,519 Speaker 1: and and we wanted the film to reflect Neil. I mean, 1549 01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:23,280 Speaker 1: give me a break, you know, I don't care what 1550 01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:25,599 Speaker 1: his family thinks. You know, this is this is uh 1551 01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:27,240 Speaker 1: where where we might have a little bit of a 1552 01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:31,720 Speaker 1: of a digression here, or a little bit of a divergence. 1553 01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:33,320 Speaker 1: That's the word I was looking for, not a digression, 1554 01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:37,400 Speaker 1: pardon me, a little bit of a divergence. Because the 1555 01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:41,320 Speaker 1: guy put the American flag on the moon. The whole 1556 01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:44,960 Speaker 1: program that he wouldn't have been in a position to 1557 01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:47,920 Speaker 1: take the you know, one small step from man and 1558 01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, he wouldn't even been a position to do 1559 01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:51,920 Speaker 1: that if it weren't for the United States of America. 1560 01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:54,160 Speaker 1: There was a whole other group of folks that were 1561 01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:56,120 Speaker 1: trying to put their flag on the moon first. That's right, 1562 01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:58,080 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union. We all, we all know about that 1563 01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:03,320 Speaker 1: right now. Out you could say, buck, who cares? Hollywood's 1564 01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:06,840 Speaker 1: full of libs, which of course is true. But here's 1565 01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:09,679 Speaker 1: why I care. This is something you're going to see 1566 01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:13,759 Speaker 1: more of, folks, and it already exists, but now there's 1567 01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:18,680 Speaker 1: finally the the means and mechanisms in place for us 1568 01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:21,720 Speaker 1: to push back against it because we can do our 1569 01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:23,880 Speaker 1: own fact checking. We all have access to the Internet, 1570 01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:27,679 Speaker 1: and we are able to fight back against these lies. 1571 01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:31,160 Speaker 1: Rewriting of history is something that libs love to do. 1572 01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:35,920 Speaker 1: It's really actually very Soviet in nature, speaking of the 1573 01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:38,920 Speaker 1: Soviet Union, uh, the rewriting because you're the Soviets and 1574 01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:41,719 Speaker 1: fact went to such extreme length that in their archives 1575 01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:46,080 Speaker 1: they were known to use razor blades to remove the 1576 01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:48,640 Speaker 1: names of people in official documents that they wanted to 1577 01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:54,200 Speaker 1: disappear by actually exercising the name. So the Soviets took 1578 01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:56,559 Speaker 1: revision of history to a whole, a whole other level, 1579 01:29:56,600 --> 01:30:00,280 Speaker 1: and they did keep pretty meticulous documentation and notes. Thing 1580 01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:04,320 Speaker 1: that communists and states love is bureaucracy. But the notion 1581 01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:07,240 Speaker 1: of rewriting history in general because it's a more appealing 1582 01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:14,240 Speaker 1: or useful or socially justice conscious narrative today is happening 1583 01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:19,080 Speaker 1: all the time. I think about this with the way 1584 01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:23,120 Speaker 1: that they often teach, for example, the uh, the colonization 1585 01:30:23,280 --> 01:30:26,679 Speaker 1: period of not just North America, but Central and South 1586 01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:30,519 Speaker 1: America as well, and you know, the the Aztecs. I'll 1587 01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:32,879 Speaker 1: offer I just finished this great book on the Aztecs 1588 01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:37,280 Speaker 1: and and the conquest, the defeat of Montezuma bay her 1589 01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:41,720 Speaker 1: Nan Cortez, and they want to talk about how advanced 1590 01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:44,479 Speaker 1: some aspects of a civilization where the the Aztecs had. 1591 01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:46,320 Speaker 1: What they don't really want to talk about as much 1592 01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:49,200 Speaker 1: is that the Aztec Empire was built on a massive 1593 01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:54,200 Speaker 1: on a massive pile of skulls from human sacrifice, which 1594 01:30:54,360 --> 01:30:57,680 Speaker 1: was a constant ritual and really was the was It 1595 01:30:57,840 --> 01:31:00,880 Speaker 1: was central to the religious beliefs of the Aztecs, and 1596 01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:07,000 Speaker 1: also incredible slavery and brutality of other people's um But 1597 01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:10,559 Speaker 1: that's a other native peoples, you know that that gets 1598 01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:12,639 Speaker 1: brushed aside, the same way that when we talk about 1599 01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:17,080 Speaker 1: the slave trade today, we all know about the Transatlantic 1600 01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:20,600 Speaker 1: American or the slave trade to the Americas. We know 1601 01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:24,000 Speaker 1: much less in history about the Islamic slave trade, which 1602 01:31:24,120 --> 01:31:32,920 Speaker 1: involved almost entirely the enslavement of Christians, particularly European white Christians, 1603 01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:38,280 Speaker 1: by Muslim North African slave traders UH into sexual slavery, 1604 01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:43,920 Speaker 1: into horrific uh work in quarries and in other inhumane 1605 01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:47,080 Speaker 1: conditions until they died on the on the slave ships, 1606 01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:50,080 Speaker 1: where galleys were used in warfare as well as in 1607 01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,240 Speaker 1: transport people would just be kept at the ore until 1608 01:31:52,280 --> 01:31:57,400 Speaker 1: they essentially died of exhaustion. Uh that that's all skipped around, 1609 01:31:57,439 --> 01:32:00,920 Speaker 1: and it's because people don't want the real facts. You know. 1610 01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:04,519 Speaker 1: The Left has this idea that they are trying to 1611 01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:08,200 Speaker 1: promote a utopian society, and in doing so, they're willing 1612 01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:11,479 Speaker 1: to rewrite the past in order to write the future. 1613 01:32:12,320 --> 01:32:14,559 Speaker 1: And we need to be on guard against this. If 1614 01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:17,799 Speaker 1: we're going to study history, if we're going to celebrate 1615 01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:23,160 Speaker 1: the past, even in what is loosely based in in truth, 1616 01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:25,679 Speaker 1: or even in what is you know, inspired by true events, 1617 01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:28,719 Speaker 1: we should be aware of the full story and little 1618 01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:31,360 Speaker 1: things like this removing the American flag from a movie 1619 01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:36,599 Speaker 1: about the American landing on on the Moon is something 1620 01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:38,800 Speaker 1: that's easy to dismiss, but it's part of a of 1621 01:32:38,880 --> 01:32:42,439 Speaker 1: a broader mindset, and it's one that we need to 1622 01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:45,320 Speaker 1: call out because it's become far too prevalent on the left, 1623 01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:50,040 Speaker 1: and in their depiction of things in history, they are 1624 01:32:50,160 --> 01:32:52,760 Speaker 1: often rewriting it. And I think that's something that we 1625 01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:55,920 Speaker 1: just cannot can't let it stand. You know, do we 1626 01:32:56,040 --> 01:32:57,920 Speaker 1: really care about this Ryan Gosling movie? Now? I mean, 1627 01:32:57,960 --> 01:32:59,639 Speaker 1: have there been far too many movies, in my opinion, 1628 01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:02,600 Speaker 1: already made about you know, going to the Moon and 1629 01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:08,600 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Uh. Probably, but we will continue to 1630 01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:10,680 Speaker 1: keep an eye on this and watch this because I 1631 01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:14,519 Speaker 1: think it's I think it's a yet another case where 1632 01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:19,320 Speaker 1: the left is making a conscious decision to try to 1633 01:33:19,400 --> 01:33:22,640 Speaker 1: pretend the past was different than it was. We're not 1634 01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:26,840 Speaker 1: gonna let him get away with it. Rock and roll, 1635 01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:35,719 Speaker 1: fellow patriots. Time to spread some freedom coast to coast. 1636 01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:42,519 Speaker 1: It's time for roll call. It's gonna be our last 1637 01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:47,719 Speaker 1: roll call before the holiday weekend. As I've been saying, 1638 01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:53,160 Speaker 1: don't worry about the Marxist origins of this Labor day weekend, 1639 01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:57,479 Speaker 1: Labor Day. Remember if you work for a union and 1640 01:33:57,600 --> 01:34:01,200 Speaker 1: our union rep it's labored a like l A b 1641 01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:05,280 Speaker 1: U H Labor Day. Uh. That's what I'm from the Northeast. 1642 01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:08,599 Speaker 1: I can say stuff like this. So Facebook dot com 1643 01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:10,920 Speaker 1: slash buck Sexton.

Again, it's on iTunes. 1665 01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:17,920 Speaker 1: It should also be on stitcher dot com, or you 1666 01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:20,360 Speaker 1: can listen to it on the I Heart app. Alright, 1667 01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:25,439 Speaker 1: we have first up t J buck Listen to your 1668 01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:27,400 Speaker 1: show from last night when you talked about your interview 1669 01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:31,240 Speaker 1: with Alyssa Milano. I watched the Hill dot TV interview 1670 01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:32,840 Speaker 1: and I definitely agree with you that she did not 1671 01:35:33,040 --> 01:35:36,240 Speaker 1: know who was interviewing her, especially when she kept saying 1672 01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:39,679 Speaker 1: we our and us. I'm pretty sure she was referring 1673 01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:43,439 Speaker 1: to Democrats and or Californians and just assume that you 1674 01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:45,599 Speaker 1: were one of them. Way to slip under the radar 1675 01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:48,720 Speaker 1: and expose her for the left as she is. I 1676 01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:50,760 Speaker 1: hope of the interview finalees where you tell her who 1677 01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:52,719 Speaker 1: you are and how you filled in for Rush Limbaugh 1678 01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:56,839 Speaker 1: before so we could watch her head explode figuratively of course. PS. 1679 01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:59,280 Speaker 1: Maybe this interview is why your Wicky page was deleted 1680 01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:02,040 Speaker 1: so she and't look you up. God knows that liberal 1681 01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:04,080 Speaker 1: won't look past the first page of Google search when 1682 01:36:04,120 --> 01:36:06,160 Speaker 1: doing a little pre interview research. You know, I don't 1683 01:36:06,200 --> 01:36:09,600 Speaker 1: know why my Wikipedia. I don't know why my Wikipedia 1684 01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:12,240 Speaker 1: was deleted. I had a Wikipedia page. Is a nice 1685 01:36:12,240 --> 01:36:15,519 Speaker 1: little Wikipedia page is gone now. I don't understand what 1686 01:36:15,600 --> 01:36:18,840 Speaker 1: did I do to offend the Wikipedia gods? I mean, TJ. 1687 01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:22,000 Speaker 1: Thanks for writing, and Drew writes, I'm a podcast listeners 1688 01:36:22,320 --> 01:36:24,439 Speaker 1: but anyways, the movie quote was from black Hawk Down, 1689 01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:27,960 Speaker 1: Shields High. Well, look at you, Drew. You are correct, sir. 1690 01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:32,360 Speaker 1: Limo is a word in common usage from the very 1691 01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:36,040 Speaker 1: early scenes of black Hawk Down where they're discussing a 1692 01:36:36,160 --> 01:36:39,360 Speaker 1: scrabble dispute. Black Hawkdown. I think is is it really 1693 01:36:39,439 --> 01:36:42,080 Speaker 1: holds up a great a great movie for what it is. 1694 01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:45,280 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. Seth writes, I really missed the 1695 01:36:45,320 --> 01:36:49,240 Speaker 1: Ilissa Milano from Commando in the spirit of Friday, get 1696 01:36:49,280 --> 01:36:52,960 Speaker 1: to the Chopper. Yeah, absolutely, Look, I I agree. I'm 1697 01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:56,879 Speaker 1: a I'm a big fan of the original Lissa Mulano 1698 01:36:57,040 --> 01:37:00,519 Speaker 1: in although that get to the choppers from Predator. Uh 1699 01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:02,280 Speaker 1: so we've got to, you know, if we're gonna keep 1700 01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:12,120 Speaker 1: it one hundred, get to the choppers for Predator what indeed, 1701 01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:15,439 Speaker 1: get to the Chopper. All right, let's get back into 1702 01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:17,800 Speaker 1: roll call, folks. I'm sorry to get distracted there. You 1703 01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:20,040 Speaker 1: know what happens with the movie quotes. I all of 1704 01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:24,000 Speaker 1: a sudden find myself in the midst of reminiscing about 1705 01:37:24,080 --> 01:37:27,519 Speaker 1: my youth spent watching, as you know, a lot of 1706 01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:30,960 Speaker 1: action movies that maybe we'll bring back action movie quote Friday. 1707 01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:32,920 Speaker 1: It's been a while. You know, I kind of faded 1708 01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:35,599 Speaker 1: out with it, but I kind of like it. Uh 1709 01:37:35,800 --> 01:37:37,720 Speaker 1: Martha writes, I would like to know who's paying for 1710 01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:41,880 Speaker 1: the uh five day funeral that the McCain planned for 1711 01:37:42,520 --> 01:37:47,080 Speaker 1: months ahead of himself. Um, Martha, I don't know. I 1712 01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:50,320 Speaker 1: would assume. I mean, the McCain family is very wealthy. 1713 01:37:50,560 --> 01:37:53,320 Speaker 1: I actually have no idea. I couldn't answer that question, 1714 01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:58,839 Speaker 1: so apologies for not having the answer on on hand, Um, schmool, 1715 01:37:59,240 --> 01:38:02,559 Speaker 1: Right's high buck. This is schmall from Israel. I live 1716 01:38:02,600 --> 01:38:06,080 Speaker 1: in Israel and I'm interested, but not passionate about US politics. 1717 01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:09,880 Speaker 1: So I'm confused why steal a British national would be 1718 01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:12,960 Speaker 1: so desperate to see Trump lose. I can understand why 1719 01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:15,839 Speaker 1: an American citizen would be passionate about the election results, 1720 01:38:15,920 --> 01:38:18,840 Speaker 1: but a British citizen was he concerned that Trump was 1721 01:38:18,920 --> 01:38:22,479 Speaker 1: pro Brexit? Seriously, something smells here. Could it be he 1722 01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:26,519 Speaker 1: was desperate because someone Russians or Hillary, we're paying him 1723 01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:29,599 Speaker 1: and we're threatening him to get the job done or else. 1724 01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:32,040 Speaker 1: I love to hear thoughts on this. Perhaps you can 1725 01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:35,680 Speaker 1: run an article about it. Small Hey schmall, good good 1726 01:38:35,680 --> 01:38:37,759 Speaker 1: to talk to about a team buck Israel in the house. 1727 01:38:39,160 --> 01:38:42,040 Speaker 1: Uh why would steal? No? You know, I think that 1728 01:38:42,200 --> 01:38:46,000 Speaker 1: Steel is part of this mentality Schmoll that the the 1729 01:38:46,200 --> 01:38:49,360 Speaker 1: kind of global establishment order was threatened by Trump. I 1730 01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:52,439 Speaker 1: do think that there are people, especially the elites in 1731 01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:58,880 Speaker 1: Western European countries, find that Trump was a political phenomenon 1732 01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:02,440 Speaker 1: and Trump is um was one that they thought concerned 1733 01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:07,120 Speaker 1: them too, that they had their own worries about, you know, 1734 01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:10,280 Speaker 1: how all that was was gonna go. And um that's 1735 01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:13,000 Speaker 1: why somebody and now looks steel. It might also have 1736 01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:16,880 Speaker 1: been for personal reasons. Maybe he just found Trump very odious. 1737 01:39:17,240 --> 01:39:19,960 Speaker 1: I don't think that anyone had anything on Steele to 1738 01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:23,240 Speaker 1: push him into this. I just think that in his 1739 01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:27,519 Speaker 1: mind he was doing probably not just America but the 1740 01:39:27,600 --> 01:39:31,760 Speaker 1: world some great service by trying to uh throw a 1741 01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:37,120 Speaker 1: monkey wrench into the Trump campaign. So there you have that. 1742 01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:42,400 Speaker 1: Brandon black hawk Down. Yes, black Hawkdown also got the 1743 01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:49,040 Speaker 1: movie quote, so you're correct, Brandon. Um. Brandon also wrote 1744 01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:52,120 Speaker 1: my buck fifteen black rifle coffee arrived just in time. 1745 01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:54,920 Speaker 1: I hope you didn't take offense the other day when 1746 01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:56,840 Speaker 1: I said that as a bald guy, I don't like 1747 01:39:57,000 --> 01:40:00,559 Speaker 1: to swoop. Brandon nobody has to like the swoop this America. 1748 01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:04,160 Speaker 1: So the swoop is a totally up to up to 1749 01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:06,639 Speaker 1: you how much you like or don't like it. Ah, 1750 01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:11,400 Speaker 1: Rob Rights Hi Buck talk about Mark Rich tomorrow. Bill 1751 01:40:11,479 --> 01:40:14,479 Speaker 1: Clinton pardoned him after he fled the country. He hit 1752 01:40:14,600 --> 01:40:18,400 Speaker 1: millions of money shields Hime Brother, Well, yeah, Mark Rich. 1753 01:40:18,600 --> 01:40:21,960 Speaker 1: Rob was somebody whose wife was a major Democrat donor, 1754 01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:26,080 Speaker 1: and he fled justice and was pardoned. That's very rare. 1755 01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:29,040 Speaker 1: Usually you have to at least be in the country. 1756 01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:31,719 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't know if that's ever happened before. 1757 01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:34,640 Speaker 1: Actually I can't say that it hasn't, But I'm not 1758 01:40:34,760 --> 01:40:39,640 Speaker 1: aware of someone being pardoned, uh who had fled the 1759 01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:42,559 Speaker 1: country in that way. I mean, maybe the only exception 1760 01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:46,639 Speaker 1: that comes to mind is Draft Dodgers and Canada who. 1761 01:40:46,840 --> 01:40:48,640 Speaker 1: But that was kind of a group party in and 1762 01:40:48,720 --> 01:40:51,280 Speaker 1: that was really a policy more than a pardon. So 1763 01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:54,479 Speaker 1: I'm I'm not familiar with the case that's similar Mark Rich. 1764 01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:57,160 Speaker 1: Just remember, folks, you know who was involved in the 1765 01:40:57,200 --> 01:41:02,320 Speaker 1: Mark Rich pardon. That's right, Eric Holder, everybody. He was 1766 01:41:02,400 --> 01:41:05,719 Speaker 1: the one who signed off on it in Clinton's Department 1767 01:41:05,760 --> 01:41:08,920 Speaker 1: of Justice. It was in fact, Eric Holder and he 1768 01:41:09,040 --> 01:41:10,960 Speaker 1: said he felt badly about it. He said later on, 1769 01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:16,360 Speaker 1: but you know, too late. Eric. Uh, let's see. Thomas 1770 01:41:16,479 --> 01:41:19,759 Speaker 1: writes Buck, I'm trying to figure out why Rhn de Santis, 1771 01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:22,720 Speaker 1: his opponent, would be upset. If you listen closely to 1772 01:41:22,880 --> 01:41:25,519 Speaker 1: Rhonda santis Is full response, he's telling the questioner that 1773 01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:28,800 Speaker 1: although it appears he will have a good run, the 1774 01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:32,200 Speaker 1: Republicans shouldn't take the election when for granted, because his 1775 01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:36,240 Speaker 1: opponent is well spoken and charismatic, and the Republicans should 1776 01:41:36,240 --> 01:41:39,400 Speaker 1: not take it for granted. Um. The media got it 1777 01:41:39,439 --> 01:41:42,280 Speaker 1: totally wrong on this because they didn't hear it. All 1778 01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:44,080 Speaker 1: they heard was what they were looking for from Thomas. 1779 01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:46,120 Speaker 1: You know, Thomas, I don't think the media got it 1780 01:41:46,120 --> 01:41:48,000 Speaker 1: wrong because they didn't hear it. I think the media 1781 01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:50,840 Speaker 1: got it wrong and didn't care. I think the media 1782 01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:54,400 Speaker 1: saw this as an opportunity to trash a Republican, and 1783 01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:57,920 Speaker 1: even though they knew they knew that what they were 1784 01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:01,880 Speaker 1: doing was dishonest, they figured it was too good an 1785 01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:09,479 Speaker 1: opportunity to pass up. Um. Jim Rights. Uh oh no, 1786 01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:13,479 Speaker 1: that's a short, short message, Keith writes Buck. De Santis 1787 01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:16,720 Speaker 1: using monkey up is no more racist than if his 1788 01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:20,880 Speaker 1: opponents said he's going to crush De Santis like a 1789 01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:26,880 Speaker 1: cracker in soup, shields high from Keith. I have never 1790 01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:30,400 Speaker 1: heard of crushing a cracker in soup, so I don't 1791 01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:33,000 Speaker 1: know what that is, but thanks for writing in, Keith. 1792 01:42:33,840 --> 01:42:36,559 Speaker 1: Kyle writes Buck in regards to De Santis, is monkey 1793 01:42:36,640 --> 01:42:39,000 Speaker 1: this up quip? If that phrase is supposed to be 1794 01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:40,880 Speaker 1: a dog whistle for racist, as many on the left 1795 01:42:40,880 --> 01:42:43,000 Speaker 1: are asserting, I can't help but notice that those on 1796 01:42:43,080 --> 01:42:46,719 Speaker 1: the left are the ones barking over this. Uh seems 1797 01:42:46,760 --> 01:42:50,120 Speaker 1: like an active psychological projection. To me, if you have 1798 01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:53,240 Speaker 1: an unhealthy obsession with a person's race, maybe you're the 1799 01:42:53,360 --> 01:42:55,800 Speaker 1: racist and not the person who uses a common innocuous 1800 01:42:55,840 --> 01:43:02,400 Speaker 1: phrase to describe something. Indeed, Kyle, I I think that 1801 01:43:02,439 --> 01:43:05,600 Speaker 1: they got this very wrong. And I think that the 1802 01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:09,360 Speaker 1: media loves to play the race card, even when they 1803 01:43:09,439 --> 01:43:12,400 Speaker 1: have to be dishonest to do it. And I think 1804 01:43:12,439 --> 01:43:13,800 Speaker 1: that's what we I really do think that's what we 1805 01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:17,280 Speaker 1: saw here. Team quick quick pause. Here, we're gonna come 1806 01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:20,280 Speaker 1: back when more roll call. Stay with me, and then 1807 01:43:20,360 --> 01:43:22,559 Speaker 1: we're back with some more roll call where we get 1808 01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:24,599 Speaker 1: to hear from all of you don't forget the Freedom 1809 01:43:24,680 --> 01:43:27,799 Speaker 1: Hunt podcast.

The two great guys. I think 1817 01:43:50,320 --> 01:43:51,680 Speaker 1: it'll be really fun for you to listen to this, 1818 01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:54,560 Speaker 1: and please do share with some friends. Uh, it's this 1819 01:43:54,720 --> 01:43:56,960 Speaker 1: is something even people don't really care much about politics. 1820 01:43:57,720 --> 01:43:59,920 Speaker 1: Uh you know they they will, I think enjoy the 1821 01:44:00,040 --> 01:44:04,280 Speaker 1: conversation we had, so spread it around, folks. Bob, it's 1822 01:44:04,320 --> 01:44:09,360 Speaker 1: good evening. Buck. Is Gary Heart's boat now considered racist 1823 01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:13,360 Speaker 1: since it was called monkey business? Have a great weekend, 1824 01:44:13,560 --> 01:44:18,280 Speaker 1: Shields high, Bob. Oh, hey, Bob, I I've never I 1825 01:44:18,280 --> 01:44:20,000 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know about Gary Hart's boat, but 1826 01:44:20,040 --> 01:44:22,519 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's not racist. So there you go. 1827 01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:27,160 Speaker 1: Let's see. Oh, somebody also told me that there's a song. Well, 1828 01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:30,439 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of look monkey business monkeying around. Hey, 1829 01:44:30,520 --> 01:44:32,759 Speaker 1: we're the monkeys all that stuff. We know it's not racist. 1830 01:44:32,840 --> 01:44:34,640 Speaker 1: So I think our point, I think our point has 1831 01:44:34,640 --> 01:44:35,920 Speaker 1: been made to him. I think we all get it 1832 01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:39,439 Speaker 1: on that one, Bob writes, stuck in the airport for 1833 01:44:39,479 --> 01:44:43,120 Speaker 1: a few hours and I'm watching CNN. This is pure torture. 1834 01:44:43,920 --> 01:44:45,840 Speaker 1: I must have seen their promo for the r GB 1835 01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:49,240 Speaker 1: film a hundred times. They're also fawning over Joe Biden's 1836 01:44:49,240 --> 01:44:51,840 Speaker 1: speech at McCain's funeral, almost like they're getting ready to 1837 01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:54,640 Speaker 1: endorse him for president. Well, Bob, let me say this 1838 01:44:54,680 --> 01:44:59,000 Speaker 1: about the cult of RBG. It's just weird, man, it's 1839 01:44:59,040 --> 01:45:01,160 Speaker 1: just weird. I mean, I'm not trying to be me, 1840 01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:03,920 Speaker 1: but she's a little old lady, you know, and they're 1841 01:45:03,960 --> 01:45:05,519 Speaker 1: trying to make it seem like she's some kind of 1842 01:45:05,640 --> 01:45:08,840 Speaker 1: folk hero who can do hundreds of push ups or something. 1843 01:45:09,280 --> 01:45:13,800 Speaker 1: You know. It's just I mean, I don't get it. 1844 01:45:13,960 --> 01:45:18,479 Speaker 1: I really don't. You know, I don't find Ruth Bader 1845 01:45:18,600 --> 01:45:21,479 Speaker 1: like I'm gonna stop talking about with bitter Ginsburg. The 1846 01:45:21,600 --> 01:45:25,400 Speaker 1: cult of RBG is weird, though, r g B, that's RBG. Sorry, 1847 01:45:25,520 --> 01:45:28,160 Speaker 1: r g B is is weird? Is wait? No, are 1848 01:45:29,439 --> 01:45:32,120 Speaker 1: rb G you wrote r G B Bob. You're confusing 1849 01:45:32,160 --> 01:45:34,760 Speaker 1: me here. I'm getting getting my letters all mixed up. 1850 01:45:35,840 --> 01:45:42,160 Speaker 1: Uh al rights ESPN. Great x of the double standard, O, 1851 01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:47,280 Speaker 1: great example of the double standard squared. Um. I guess 1852 01:45:47,360 --> 01:45:52,600 Speaker 1: so Mud also knows. Matthew writes, love the show and 1853 01:45:52,720 --> 01:45:55,800 Speaker 1: your view on the weaponization and politicization of McCain's death. 1854 01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:59,120 Speaker 1: Trotting out his patriotism just to beat Trump over the 1855 01:45:59,160 --> 01:46:01,120 Speaker 1: head with it is to stick a bole. Tell you 1856 01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:04,160 Speaker 1: the truth. He was a fly boy with an admiral daddy. 1857 01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:05,880 Speaker 1: Pretty sure he had a free ride until he got 1858 01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:08,360 Speaker 1: himself shot down. Yes, he stayed with his men in 1859 01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:10,200 Speaker 1: the face of further torture, but that's what he was 1860 01:46:10,240 --> 01:46:12,920 Speaker 1: supposed to do, just like most vets. We did what 1861 01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:15,120 Speaker 1: we signed up for and saw our duty through until 1862 01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:17,439 Speaker 1: the end. Then he didn't want Trump to attend his 1863 01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:19,519 Speaker 1: funeral and lost all of my respects. So there's that. 1864 01:46:20,240 --> 01:46:23,200 Speaker 1: To borrow your hilarious phrase, cheers and shields, Hie, Matthew. 1865 01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:26,560 Speaker 1: Matthew appreciate you writing in, and I know people have 1866 01:46:26,720 --> 01:46:30,400 Speaker 1: very passionate views about the legacy of McCain. So I 1867 01:46:30,439 --> 01:46:33,120 Speaker 1: will let you speak for yourself on that one. Uh, 1868 01:46:33,200 --> 01:46:35,160 Speaker 1: Andrew Wrights listening to the show, and I can't agree 1869 01:46:35,200 --> 01:46:37,040 Speaker 1: with you more. I make it a point to listen 1870 01:46:37,080 --> 01:46:39,120 Speaker 1: to both sides in a while. And I was on 1871 01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:41,360 Speaker 1: the road for an hour and a half today I 1872 01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:45,040 Speaker 1: listened to NPR. I was blown away by how uh 1873 01:46:45,280 --> 01:46:49,400 Speaker 1: political they made Senator John McCain's death. It was constant 1874 01:46:49,680 --> 01:46:51,960 Speaker 1: and every chance they got they would bash Trump. I 1875 01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:55,120 Speaker 1: don't understand how they think their stories were unbiased. Yeah, folks, 1876 01:46:55,720 --> 01:46:58,439 Speaker 1: the media fawning over McCain is something that they like 1877 01:46:58,560 --> 01:47:03,120 Speaker 1: to do to hit Republicans with. That's what they That's 1878 01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:05,680 Speaker 1: why they like talking about McCain, and that's why they 1879 01:47:05,720 --> 01:47:09,160 Speaker 1: like talking about Trump, Trump versus McCain, all this stuff. 1880 01:47:09,640 --> 01:47:12,200 Speaker 1: It's a weapon against Republicans. So we should be very 1881 01:47:12,280 --> 01:47:15,240 Speaker 1: clear on that. And and that's just that's what they 1882 01:47:15,280 --> 01:47:18,160 Speaker 1: were doing. Um Hey, Buk Sheels. I want to tell 1883 01:47:18,160 --> 01:47:19,920 Speaker 1: you an epic journey I just returned home from. It 1884 01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:22,040 Speaker 1: took me through for the first time Washington, d C. 1885 01:47:23,120 --> 01:47:24,760 Speaker 1: There were two people I had hoped to run into 1886 01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:26,160 Speaker 1: so I could give them each a high five for 1887 01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:28,559 Speaker 1: a job well done. But sadly my time grew short 1888 01:47:28,600 --> 01:47:30,519 Speaker 1: and I was forced to leave the swamp without seeing 1889 01:47:30,640 --> 01:47:34,240 Speaker 1: you or Potus.
