1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. President Trump says something 2 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: kind of mean about Joe Biden and the media freaks out. 3 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: We'll talk about what that means, and also the latest 4 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: on North Korea and Iran policy, some big Supreme Court decisions, 5 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: what that means about the legal future for this country, 6 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: and Chernobyl is the best thing on television right now. 7 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: I'll explain why. Coming up. This is the Buck Sexton Show, 8 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really 9 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence magnor mistake American, You're a great 10 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: American Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. Now, 11 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: Ken Jean the statement that Joe Biden was a low 12 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: IQ individual who probably is based on his record. I 13 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: think I agree with him on that Joe Biden was 14 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,839 Speaker 1: a disaster. His administration with President Obama, they were basically 15 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: a disaster when it came to so many things. Whether 16 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: it was economy, whether it was military defense, no matter 17 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: what it was, they had a lot of problems. So 18 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan. Welcome to the bucksac and Show. 19 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: Everybody tell President President Trump there were some harsh words 20 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: about Joe Biden, although are they untrue words? Or they 21 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: just harsh words. Media went into full on freak out mode, 22 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: which I suppose it's not even the least bit surprising. 23 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: They freak about everything, but saying that Biden is low 24 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: IQ seems to be too much for our intrepid press 25 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: cord to handle. I just I don't know. They never 26 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: grow tired of the freak out. They never grow tired 27 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:06,279 Speaker 1: of suggesting a president Trump is basically the worst person 28 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: in the history of the universe, and they think that 29 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: if they keep telling us this, they will prevent him 30 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: from getting reelected. But I gotta tell you, I still 31 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: believe that Trump's in very in a very good position 32 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: if in fact, the economy stays where it is, and 33 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: if we continue to see the prosperity and just the 34 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: common sense approach to governance. They can complain about his 35 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: tweets all day. They can complain about his side comments. 36 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: Oh he's he's siding with dictators over his own countryman, 37 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: this is what they say. They forget that we remember 38 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: what was like during the Obama years. We remember what 39 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: it was like to hear that Republicans were a bunch 40 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: of warmongers and in fact war criminals. This was commonly 41 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 1: said about Bush and Cheney, especially toward the latter part 42 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: of the Bush administration, there were some who thought that 43 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 1: there should be charges brought against the commander into the 44 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: Commander Chief when it was Bush, for just the decisions 45 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: he made that they did not like. But now they're 46 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: worried about saying that someone is low IQ. I don't 47 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: think Biden's very smart. Does that make me a bad person? 48 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: That mean that I'm someone that isn't allowed to have 49 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: an opinion anymore. I think there's a lot of ways 50 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: that you can go back and look at what he's 51 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: said over time, and he's a pure It's just what 52 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: Reagan said, He's a pure demagogue. If you're somebody who's 53 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: not particularly sophisticated in your political thinking, and by that 54 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: I don't mean I don't mean fancy in your thinking. 55 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: I don't mean an establishment figure. I mean you're not 56 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: sophisticated and you don't understand that most of these guys, 57 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: most of these politicians, including Biden, are full of crap. 58 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: Most of them lie. They try to stand for one 59 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: thing when it comes to getting attention and donations, and 60 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: then when they're in the swamp, when they're in DC, 61 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: they go in a different direction. They hope nobody pays attention. 62 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: You know, they sign they sign off on things and 63 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: hope that they don't get held accountable for it. And 64 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: you know, there's all these different ways that they try 65 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: to evade accountability while at the same time promoting their 66 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: own individual brands and pretending like they're doing public service. 67 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: I think Biden is, in that way the quintessential American 68 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: politician with all the bad baggage that that brings with it. 69 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: And given what they say about Trump on a regular basis, 70 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: are we really to believe that Biden is low IQ? 71 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: Even if he said that, Kim jongun smiled at him 72 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: a little bit because he said this, and maybe Kim 73 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: jongan agrees that Biden's low AQU. Kim probably just smiled 74 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: because it's kind of a funny thing for a president 75 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: to say about an opponent, you know, when you know, 76 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: here's a perfect example. Just to step back for a moment, 77 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: they act like this is such a low blow low 78 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: IQ Biden. Can I also say that they were telling 79 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: us not long ago that to call I think it 80 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: was Maxine Waters low IQ, Brucer, Mike wasn't it Wasn't 81 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: it Maxine Waters that he says it's low iq he 82 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: used to right, Oh okay, yeah, I'm pretty sure it's 83 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: low iq that he used to. We were told that 84 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: was racist. Well now he calls Joe Biden low iq. 85 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: So do we get to revisit the whole It wasn't 86 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: racist to call Maxine Waters low iq? No, of course not. 87 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: They've skipped past that. They the destruction hath been wrought 88 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: by the media, and therefore there's no reason for them 89 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: to look at it again and have any kind of 90 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: a conversation about maybe maybe they were wrong. But I 91 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: remember in the show The West Wing, which was set 92 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: up really to be an alternative presidency for Libs during 93 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: the Bush administration, and that was that was what its 94 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: selling point was. You know that that there was going 95 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: to be a a place where Libs could tune in 96 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: and see what a good Democrat president that would really be. 97 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: Like what was his name? His name was like jebedia 98 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: or something or other, Right, the guy who was Bartlett, 99 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: President Bartlett, That's what they used to call him. And 100 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: you know he at one point had this supposed open mic. 101 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: People always say hot mic, but that's not the correct terminology. 102 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: President Bartlett in the West Wing had this open mic moment. 103 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: I didn't see that much of the show, but I 104 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: remember this one where he referred to a guy as 105 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: like a twenty two caliber mine in a three fifty 106 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: seven caliber world. And at the end of the episode, 107 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: the really and that was created all this controversy that 108 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: he'd called the political opponents, essentially called a political opponent stupid, 109 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: and this got called on a mic, and at the 110 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: end of the episode it comes out that sure enough, 111 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: the president knew the mic was open, and this was 112 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: a very clever employ to take a swipe at his Oh, 113 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: by the way, Republican opponent. Now you could say, to 114 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: mean Buck, that's scripted and who cares, And it's Aaron 115 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: Sorkin doing his usual liberal fast talking, too clever by 116 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: half nonsense. And yes, that's all true. But if it 117 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: were a Democrat in real life or in fiction calling 118 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: a Republican stupid, nobody would bat an eyelash. Because they 119 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: call Republican stupid all the time. They called Bush stupid. 120 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: I mean they that's one of their favorite knocks on 121 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: prominent Republicans, that they're all just so so dumb. This 122 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: is what they say. But you can't call Biden low. 123 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: I You're You're not allowed to say that. You're not 124 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: allowed to point to the fact that this guy is 125 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: somebody who never was able to get a substantial percentage 126 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: of the national voting population, even the Democrat side, to 127 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: vote for him. He's really just been an along for 128 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: the ride. You know. He is the quintessential I said before, 129 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: a politician, but also really the epitome of the establishment man. 130 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: And he's a He's in the state of Delaware and 131 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,239 Speaker 1: just wants to make sure it keeps getting reelected in Delaware. 132 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure he brings home all kinds of goodies and 133 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: and pork whatever he can for Delaware. And that's it. 134 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: What has his record been in the past, A lot 135 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: of a lot of embarrassment, a lot of nonsense, a 136 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: lot of missteps. But this is what we're offered instead 137 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: of Trump. This is what we're told we're supposed to 138 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: get excited about it. I just I really, I really 139 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: can't do it, folks. I can't bring myself to accept 140 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: this nonsensical position that Joe Biden is the is the 141 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: answer to what ails us. I mean, in this period 142 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: of tremendous Trump to arrangement syndrome. You'd think they could 143 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: at least put forward to candidate that normal people could 144 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: say is a return to normalcy. But the normalcy that 145 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: Joe Biden represents is exactly is what Trump is in 146 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: office to get rid of. We don't want these careers, 147 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: we don't want these lifetime politicians to be in charge 148 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: of us. Oh, and then you add things like how 149 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: is doing as president? And this is what we're always told. 150 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: You know, you've got to ignore this, this doesn't really matter, 151 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: and who cares? And it matters a lot. Libs going 152 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: into the Obama reelection were constantly having to explain how 153 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: America's best days economically, we're behind it. There really wasn't 154 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: the kind of growth that in the future, that wouldn't 155 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: be the kind of growth that we'd seen in the past. 156 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: It was a lot of excuse making for the Obama 157 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 1: administration having a very slow recovery. And really it was 158 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: about a kind of hostility to capitalism. I mean, that's 159 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: that's what was a defining characteristic of you know, of 160 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: what Obama was pushing. You know, he was always very 161 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: concerned with, you know, redistribution of wealth and with leveling 162 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,599 Speaker 1: the playing field based not on the removal of regulations 163 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: or anything like that, but by picking picking winners and losers, 164 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: having the government pick winners and losers instead of the market, 165 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: and that had negative consequence. But you have the numbers 166 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: that are out there right now for President Trump are 167 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: very strong. I mean, here's Prime Minister Abbe. You know Trump, 168 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: Trump was over there playing golf. I wish I could 169 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: get excited about golf, and so many great people I 170 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: know love golf. I don't. I've tried a few times. 171 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: I'm very bad, and I do not understand the appeal. 172 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: And I kind of don't want to understand the appeal 173 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: because I feel like I'll be giving away thousands of 174 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: hours of my life to something that maybe is not 175 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 1: the best usage of my time. But anyway, here's what 176 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: Prime Minister Abbe of Japan has said about how things 177 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: are going with President Trump in office. You just remember, 178 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: just a reminder, this is what's really happening versus what 179 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: the Libs are telling this are happening. And that's their 180 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: big pitch for for Biden is trying to convince us 181 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: that things are terrible. Here's reality play for Japanese company 182 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: investment to the tune of twenty four billion dollars to 183 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: the United States, thereby creating forty five thousand new jobs. 184 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: Tax reformed that President conducted thanks to that automotive and 185 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: image related to Japanese companies are making investment in my Pennsylvania, Michigan, Alabama, 186 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: and Kentucky and others. They are mad. They have decided 187 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: to make new investments in a short style. Aren'ty here there? 188 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: Through the through the interpreter and the you know, the 189 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: audio is not great, but you're getting the idea. A 190 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 1: lot of new investment, a lot of new jobs, billions 191 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: and billions of dollars. It's not strange for me or 192 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: for you to care more about that than is Trump 193 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: being mean to Joe Biden? Is he making fun of 194 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: Joe Biden in a way that is unpresidential? Unpresidential for 195 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: him to say that. We've had plenty of Republicans who 196 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: were very presidential, who didn't get very much done, who 197 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: weren't able to achieve very much well, weren't able to win, 198 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: first of all, but even if they did win, weren't 199 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: able to enact the kind of policies that they promised 200 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: on the campaign trail. And while it's all well and good, 201 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: and I'm look, I'm a very Some of you who 202 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 1: have met me know this. I'm very polite by nature. 203 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: I'm a very polite individual. I try to be respectful 204 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: and friendly to everyone. I think that everyone should act 205 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: that way. But I also know that there are more 206 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: important things than the presidential decorum that some expect when 207 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: it comes to how the commander in chief and the 208 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: top of the executive branch conducts himself or perhaps herself 209 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: in the future. There are more important things, and Trump 210 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: is executing on those more important things. Brings me to 211 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: the questions over his foreign policy. Got to dive into 212 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: some of that. I know North Korea is doing a 213 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: little bit of some saber rattling, some missiles fired off. 214 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: That's that's a bit problem matic. Look at kind of 215 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: a grab bag that I focus. I mean, I sort 216 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: of wish that there was a major, you know, deep 217 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: state story, or we have something in the declassification had occurred. 218 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: We're going to get into that in June in a 219 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: big way. I know that for sure when they released 220 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: the Inspector General report. You know, today's one of these 221 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: days where we just have a lot of stories to cover. 222 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: Our different stories. So we're going to move through a 223 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: bunch of topics and cover some real ground. And the 224 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: Supreme Court case es today some very interesting decisions there 225 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: that I'll want to spend some time on with all 226 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: of you. So sit back, relax, and let the freedom 227 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: hunt roll. We'll be right back. I think Biden's busy 228 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: focusing on his campaign messages and doesn't need to respond 229 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: to President Trump. But how many desboits are on the 230 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: Trump twenty twenty real elect campaign at this point? Right? 231 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you have Kim Jong un criticizing President Trump's 232 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: political rivals, you have Vladimir Putin criticizing Democrats. Let's just 233 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: wait for him to say something about Joe Biden. And 234 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: it's all pretty clear why they're doing it. These desbots 235 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: are trying to manipulate President Trump by criticizing his rivals 236 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: because they want him in the Oval office from twenty 237 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: twenty onward. He's been pretty good for them. Russia is 238 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: misbehaving globally, Kim Jong UN's making more weapons, making more friends. 239 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 1: I think that Kim Jong un wants to ride the 240 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: Trump train all the way through twenty twenty because it 241 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: is so good for Kim jong Un to have Trump 242 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: in the oval office. That is the dumbest national security 243 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: analysis I've heard in a long time. It's a CNN analysis, 244 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: not surprising. Everything she said there is false and just stupid. 245 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: They keep putting her on air. The why because she 246 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: feeds into the Trump derangement syndrome that the audience of 247 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: CNN wants to hear. That's that's all it is. You know, 248 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: the CNN audience like a bunch of hamsters. They want 249 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: to push a pedal and get anti trumpism, push a 250 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: pedal and get anti anti trumpism. That's why some of 251 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: you may have seen in that interview I gave which 252 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: got a bit of play, where I explained why CNN 253 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: has lost its mind and how Trump has broken CNN 254 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: and how there's no shortage of wackiness now at CNN 255 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: as a result of Trump's presidency. I mean, they really 256 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: just can't handle him. They don't know what to do, 257 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: and their audience has been so thoroughly propagandized against President 258 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: Trump that there's no realistic expectation, no one can have 259 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: any realistic expectation that the audience could be brought back 260 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: to reality. You know, they would rather hear stuff like this. 261 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: I mean, she said, you know, Trump has been good 262 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: for Kim Jong and Kim Jong un? How is that possible? 263 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: CNN national security aliments too. I'd never heard her before 264 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: she's on CNN. How would that be possible? There are 265 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: more sanctions that are more crippling and damaging to North 266 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: Korea's economy and specifically targeted at North Korea's nuclear and 267 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: missile programs than at any time in history, right now, 268 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: more than ever before. So how is that good for 269 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: North Korea? The Trump had beenstration is pushing for the 270 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: removal by democratic means, but the removal of Maduro by 271 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: the GUIDEAU opposition in Venezuela and after Cuba, Russia is 272 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: probably the single closest ally that Venezuela has in Russia's 273 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: probably in the number two spot. Is that? Is that 274 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: doing Putin's bidding? I mean, I just would like to 275 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: see some of these so called experts explain themselves. You know, 276 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: I wish they were on a network, or the anchors 277 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: weren't a bunch of total buffoons, I mean, anti intellectual, incurious, 278 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: preening buffoons, because that's what you have at CNN all 279 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: across the board. I wish that they would ask a 280 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: question like the ones that I'm asking. Do you think 281 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: that she would have an answer to twenty of this? 282 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: You know a lot, there'd be a lot of stumbling, 283 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of dodging, and you know, Trump, Charlottesville, 284 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: twenty fifth Amendment, Russia collusion. You know, it just would 285 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: all all this. It's like argument by automotopia, you know, 286 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: just making noises. It's a fun word to say, isn't automotopia? 287 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: But that's what they do. They can engage in the 288 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: substance because they don't have sufficient substance to make the case. 289 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: They can't explain their positions. They just want to get 290 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: out the talking points that appeal to the pre existing 291 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 1: political prejudices of the left wing audience that watches them. 292 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: I'm still in a bit of a rage at watching 293 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,719 Speaker 1: CNN International in my hotel room in Beijing and just 294 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: seeing how it was. It's anti I'm telling you the truth. 295 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: It's anti American propaganda. That's what the that's what CNN 296 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: was pushing out. We're gonna go to war with Iran, 297 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna go to war with North Korea. The president 298 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: has broken the law he's lawless, he hates immigrants, all 299 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: these things. This is what they're telling the world. It's 300 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: an embarrassment. CNN's an embarrassment on the world stage. It's 301 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: being of embarrassment. Liberal geostrategist In Bremer of a Eurasia Group, 302 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: who I will say is more knowledgeable than a lot 303 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: of other libs I've I'm familiar with Ian I've a 304 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: long time ago actually met Bremer and talked to him 305 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: for a while about some geopolitical issues. He is, he's 306 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: a smart little dude. He's little, but he's not a 307 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: He's not an individual of good judgment and does not 308 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: understand the big picture. And that I think is a 309 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: pretty good way to set up what happened next. He 310 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: got into a whole bunch of hot water. If you 311 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: don't know this guy, Ian Bremer, he's the president of 312 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: the Eurasia Group, and he tweeted out a quote on 313 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: Sunday to President Trump. And this is this is just 314 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: a case study in how trumped derangement syndrome both can 315 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: instantaneously infect Twitter. And then also you see the media 316 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: will self justify what is fake news, or that there 317 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: will be people who will claim, oh, well, even if 318 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: it's not true, it rings true to borrow from that 319 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: guy who's the Michael Wolf, the author of Fire and Fury, 320 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: isn't no, that's the Fire and Fury is the Fire 321 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: and Fury. I think. So he has a new a 322 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: new book out, Siege about Trump. We'll get we'll get 323 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: to that a bit a bit later on. But back 324 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: to Ian Bremer here. He tweeted this out and represented 325 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: it as a quote from President Trump, and the quote was, well, 326 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: what he wrote was President Trump in Tokyo quote Kim 327 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: Jong un is smarter and would make a better president 328 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: than sleepy Joe Biden. Now this was then shared, and 329 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: it wasn't shared by just a bunch of people that 330 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: you've never heard of. It was shared by Congressman Ted 331 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: Lew of California, noted Trump deranged far left loon. C 332 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: Ann contributor Anna Navarro car Danias, who I would note 333 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: is among the dumbest people on television. That's you know, 334 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: if it were an IQ contest between her and Joe Biden, 335 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: it's it's going to be close. It's gonna be close. 336 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: She's among the dumbest analysts on television, and not a 337 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: nice person either for those of you who are curious, 338 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 1: I've worked with her, much to my regret, in the past, 339 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: and you know, she shared it and then all of 340 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: a sudden it comes out, Oh wait a second, that's fake. 341 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: You could even say, you know, say it was fake news. 342 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: And then Bremer, who's a lib, pretends not to be. 343 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: He pretends to just be a geopolitical strategist and expert. 344 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: This is just like journalists. There's always this facade that 345 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: they want to put up of the you know that 346 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: that objectivity gives them greater narrative power, meaning they can 347 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: create a more potent anti Trump narrative. If they have 348 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: this this retense of being objective, they're not partisans. They're 349 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: just telling the truth. You know. This is like CNN 350 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: with the apples and bananas. You know, we're not an 351 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: anti Trump get Trump network. We're just calling We're just 352 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: calling balls and stripes, man, We're just doing the truth. No, 353 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:19,239 Speaker 1: they're not. They're absolutely not. It's obviously ridiculous for them 354 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: to claim otherwise. But Bremer defended the tweet at first 355 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: and said it was obviously ludicrous and yet kind of plausible, 356 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: and he wrote, especially on Twitter, where people automatically support 357 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: whatever political position they have. That's the point. He eventually 358 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: had to apologize. He said, my tweet yesterday about Trump 359 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: preferring Kim Jong unto Biden as president was meant in jest. 360 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: I should have been clearer my apologies. Now, you know, 361 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: I don't know why he would you know, I don't 362 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: know why he would think that that that's a funny. 363 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: That's a particularly funny joke. You know, I could write 364 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: a really stupid thing and pretend that it was Okazu 365 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: Cortez and it could be really, really dumb, unless it 366 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: was so blatant that even Okazu Quartez would understand that 367 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: it's a joke. You know, you're running the risk of misrepresenting, 368 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: misrepresenting something. And I think that that that is what happened. 369 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: But you know, in a Trump deranged world, particularly among 370 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: the elites, people like Bremer who think very We're gonna 371 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: talk about somebody who's an establishment guy who thinks very 372 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: highly of himself. Trust me, Ian Bremer's in that category, 373 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: but in that in that milieu, in that strata. And 374 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: I sound like a guy who walks around wearing an 375 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: ascot when I use these words, But those are the 376 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: kind of people that will believe the stuff because they 377 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: really think that Trump is capable of essentially saying anything 378 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: and anything that will support that belief, anything that will 379 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: go to you know, oh yeah, Trump is in fact 380 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: the worst person ever. They will they will sign on 381 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: for that essentially right away. They don't think through it 382 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: beyond that. Now onto the foreign policy challenges right now, 383 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: because they're really going after Trump on this and I 384 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: think it's because of what happened recently in a rom 385 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: but there's also what look, let's let's be let's be 386 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: honest about the whole in the news cycle right now, 387 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:31,479 Speaker 1: the media has gotten used to having a major story, 388 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: even if they have to concoct it, even if they 389 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: have to re essentially do a retread and go back 390 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: onto what they've already done the past. They're used to 391 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: having some kind of Muller quote unquote bombshell to either 392 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 1: prereport on, report on, or post report on, meaning we 393 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: think this is coming, this has happened. Oh let's talk 394 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: about this thing that happened. That has been the cycle 395 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: of the news meeting, that's really been the beating heart 396 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: of most of the mainstream news outlet. It's for over 397 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: two years now. But in the in a post Muller 398 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 1: Report world and pre Inspector General Report, there aren't enough 399 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: leaks to sustain them. There aren't enough ways for them 400 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: to write the same story over and over because they 401 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: need some little kernel of news. They need something to 402 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: justify telling us the same thing they've already told us 403 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: a million different times. And that's why I think there's 404 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: this focus right now on foreign policy, because one in 405 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 1: doubt the establishment will go to one of their favorite 406 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: areas of criticism. They can't criticize Trump on the economy. 407 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: They just sound stupid. I mean, they try, sometimes it 408 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: doesn't particularly work. But on North Korea and Iran, you're 409 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of Oh, Trump is over his head, 410 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: he's over his skis, He's doing all this bad stuff. 411 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: You know, for one reason or another, they're they're upset 412 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: at Trump and upset at how he's handling all this 413 00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: foreign policy. And let's start with North Korea. Here's what 414 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: the President has said about what's going on there. Because 415 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: they're already you know, the Libs, even in a case 416 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: of national security that you would think everybody could put 417 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: aside their own feelings of partisanship, you know, it would 418 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: be such a win for the world. And I really 419 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: mean that if Trump's North Korea gambit were to come through. 420 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: But you know Pelosi's rooting against him. You know that 421 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: while Trump's angling for a deal, there are Democrats who 422 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: know their fingers crossed that it won't happen, because it 423 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: would not only be politically problematic for them, it would 424 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: also mean that their claims that Trump is terrible and 425 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: the worst and can't understand foreign policy would look particularly hollow. Right, 426 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: So there there's a lot writing on this for Democrats 427 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: for all the wrong reasons. But here's what Trump says 428 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: about the current status of what's going on with his 429 00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: North Korea negotiation play. We continue to hope the Chairman 430 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: Kim seizes the opportunity to transform his country through d nuclearization. 431 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: It is a country with tremendous economic and other potential. 432 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: The United States also remains committed to the issue of abductions, 433 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: which I know is a top priority for Prime Minister Abbey. 434 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: So what happened is the North Koreans fired off some 435 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: on May nine, They fired off some short range ballistic missiles. 436 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: And this is a violation of you and resolutions and 437 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: it's clearly a provacation. I'm not here to tell you 438 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: that things that are are not. I'm not going to 439 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 1: say that this is good, this is progress, this is 440 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 1: to be expected. I'm here to say, Okay, you know, 441 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: maybe maybe this Trump negotiation isn't going to work. We 442 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: don't know yet. It's too early to know. But there's 443 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: no loss here. The president has not gone on an 444 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: apology tour around the world world. He did not go 445 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: before Kim Jong un and bow and be submissive. He 446 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: did say he loved him, which is weird. Again, it's weird. 447 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say when things are what they are, 448 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: it's a weird thing to say. I don't know why 449 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: Trump went that direction, and I give him a lot 450 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: of latitude because one, he's the president despite all the 451 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: forces against him, and I'm not. And two I think 452 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: that to be an unconventional and mold breaking president, you're 453 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: going to have to do things that make people think, 454 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: WHOA is that really the way that this should be done. 455 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: With all all that said, though, you know, North Korea 456 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: may not turn out the way that it's supposed to. 457 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: North Korea may not be some big win for the administration, 458 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 1: but unlike what we saw with Obama's foreign policy. It's 459 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: not going to be a catastrophic loss either. He's taking 460 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: his shot and trying to do something good. I wish 461 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: he would focus more on or at least have more success. 462 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: I think there is some administration focus on the border. 463 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 1: The Republicans would get their act together. You know, it's 464 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: going to be the big Achilles heel for the Republican 465 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: Party going into the going into the elections. It's going 466 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: to be healthcare. Again, here's a really simple question, folks, 467 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: as we sit here and you know, it's a pretty look. 468 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: It's a it's a newsday where there's no giant news 469 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: stories out there. It's a lot of sort of second 470 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: tier level stories. There's nothing that's really moving the needle 471 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: in a big way in the news cycle. This would 472 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 1: be a perfect opportunity if Republicans actually had their stuff 473 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: together to come up with, you know, some healthcare approach 474 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: that would allow for people to know what the Republican 475 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: Party stands for. What does the Republican Party stand for? Healthcare? 476 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: Free markets? Okay, great, how this is gonna be a problem. 477 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: It was a problem FIRS in the mid Tim's gonna 478 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: be a problem. Now. I don't know what the Trump 479 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: with the Trump camp is suggesting for healthcare. I do 480 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: know that, you know, every every time now I get 481 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: a bill from a doctor's office, I just win. It 482 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: just feels like it's more expensive and gets worse all 483 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: the time. They're less effective. I spend less time with 484 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: the doctor, and my bill is just bigger and bigger 485 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: now every every year, somehow I'm in a worse position 486 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: visa via the medical community. And you know, thankfully I 487 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: don't have a I don't have a wife, I don't 488 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: have kids. I don't have a family that I have. 489 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: For so many of you who have to deal with 490 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: all that, I don't know. I don't know how you 491 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: do it, so expensive, so time consuming, so much paperwork 492 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: and nonsense. There are opportunities here for Trump and the 493 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: Republicans to at least present something really worthwhile and sell it. 494 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: You know, Trump is a salesman. He's a gifted salesman. 495 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: That's one area where I think that his skill set, 496 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: if anything, is undervalued or is underappreciated. You know, he's 497 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: much better at conveying to the public why something is 498 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: good or why something is bad. You know, he's very 499 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: good at at just that at persuasion, and healthcare is 500 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: such a big area for more Republican attention. Right now, 501 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,479 Speaker 1: we're just letting, we're letting the media dominate the narrative 502 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: with all this stuff about foreign policy and Trump and 503 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: Iran and North Korea. And here's here's one part of 504 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: this that I just won't lose. I refuse to lose 505 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: sight of for anyone who supported the Obama administration and 506 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: then supported Hillary for president to think that they're in 507 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: a position to lecture the rest of us about, you know, 508 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: about what is going on with the Trump administration's foreign policy. 509 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: This is just crazy. Every major foreign policy challenged, every 510 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: area of foreign policy, kind of foreign policy hotspot under 511 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: Obama got worse. And everything that Hillary touched turned to 512 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: lead except for things that enrich Hillary and her husband 513 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: that always totally turned to gold. But every foreign policy 514 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: issue was a loss, if not a disaster. Those same 515 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: people I want to tell us how Trump should be 516 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: doing it now, it's it's really just not it's just crazy. 517 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: How do you pay for them? Well, what we have 518 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: chosen not to do because with just ingender enormous toby 519 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: is to tell you how I'm gonna raise every nickel 520 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: in a three hundred three point five trillion dollars, but 521 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: that's something that it's going to have to be discussed. 522 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: So I wanted to lay out the program as to 523 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: what it would mean and to tell you that it 524 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: will cost you and ordinary Americans a lot less than 525 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: you are currently spending on average. Okay, what will probably 526 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: end up looking like is a payroll tax on employers 527 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: and increase in income tax in a progressive way for 528 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: ordinary people with a significant deductible for low income people 529 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: who will pay nothing for it. Upber income people will 530 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: pay more. Party said, it's gonna health get planned. You're 531 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: gonna have the very rich pay and it's it's gonna 532 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: be better, it's gonna be cheaper for the average American. 533 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: It's not true, folks, It is not true. And as 534 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: I was speaking for about where the Republicans on healthcare, 535 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: where's the messaging? You got holes? Right now in the 536 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: news cycle, people like they like news? Why people listen 537 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: to this show. I listen to all the different shows 538 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: and watch TV and reduce papers in the Internet or whatever. 539 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: People like the news, and right now there's an opportunity 540 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: to really get out there and establish what it is 541 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: that Republicans are trying to sell in healthcare. Instead, you 542 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,479 Speaker 1: got Bernie Sanders running around like the tooth fairy, just 543 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: promising to leave twenty dollar bills under everybody's pillow. All 544 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: you lose to live at tooth and then I'll take 545 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: that tooth because I want them, and then I'll replace 546 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: it with the night's Chris twenty dollar bill. That's what 547 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: he's saying. And what do we have, Oh, it's just 548 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: going to be a payroll tax. It's just going to 549 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: be an increase in a very progressive way on the 550 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: wealth East Americans. That's gonna pay for all this. That's 551 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: not gonna raise trillions of dollars. If you want a 552 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: Swedish system of healthcare, you have to pay Swedish tax rates. 553 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: That's just the way it will be. And the Swedish 554 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: government is far more lean and efficient than ours. You 555 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: know that the Swedes are in a much better position 556 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: to implement the kind of progressive tax rate that we've seen, 557 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: and the Swedes are in a much better position to 558 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: have their government provide these kinds of services. Right, But anyway, 559 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: not not to get too deep into into Sweden, but 560 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: you know, here we are, it's healthcare, and Bernie Sanders 561 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: is out there and he's he's giving the message out 562 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: to people. You know, I don't want us to get 563 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: asleep at the wheel. I don't want Republicans to think 564 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 1: that they can play a very safe game here, that 565 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: that Trump can play it safe. He look, he's not 566 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: going to. But it's really the rest of the party, 567 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: and it's where the Democrats staminast. We know nothing is 568 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: really going to a kind of get done. I mean, 569 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: Trump even said this play Club seven. This is on 570 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: the US Mexico Canada trade deal. Here's what Trump said, 571 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: play seven. I think that we will work with them. 572 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: We have a USMCA. I would imagine that Nancy Pelosi 573 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: will approve that. I would it would be very hard 574 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: not to. But we'll see. But certainly, as things get approved, 575 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: I would love to sign them. It's only good for 576 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: our country. Trump says he'd like to sign some deals, 577 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: want to do some work with the other side. But 578 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,879 Speaker 1: here's what you and I both know, and we don't 579 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: have to be told this. We know that there's no 580 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: chance the Democrats are going to work in them on anything. 581 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: In fact, it's really hard for the president to extend 582 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: his hand in professional never mind a friendly way to 583 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: the other side when they're still stuck on you know, 584 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,839 Speaker 1: he's a criminal, he should be impeached. He got this 585 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,320 Speaker 1: book out now with Wolfe, Michael Wolfe saying that Muller 586 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: wrote a draft that initially was going to say the 587 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: president should be indicted for obstruction, but then he he 588 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: backed off of that. How this guy wolf would get that, 589 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,720 Speaker 1: which should be the juiciest detail in a very long time, 590 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 1: probably the juicy detail of the entire Special Counsel investigation 591 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 1: that defies that defies explanation. I think it defies belief 592 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,800 Speaker 1: to we have more on the status of the post 593 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: Muller probe and all that coming up. It's about time 594 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: for her to just cut off the nonsense. If she doesn't, 595 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,720 Speaker 1: of course, and they actually go and proceed to be interesting, 596 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,280 Speaker 1: see if those thirty or forty Democrats modern Democrats actually 597 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: go along with it. If they do and they actually 598 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: get an impeachment done, of course it has to come 599 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: over to the Senate, as everybody knows where it will 600 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: just simply be dropped. This is not about the twenty 601 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: twenty elections, about doing what's right now for our country. 602 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: This is going to be a president that we set 603 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 1: when we don't hold this president accountable to the rule 604 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: of law until the United States Constitution. Why do you 605 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: think you can't convince a majority of House Democrats that 606 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: it's time to impeach them. No, I think it is 607 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 1: moving towards that it's going to demand it. It already is. 608 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: Some of them are saying it. I've felt this way 609 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: all along impeachment. They think it's gonna happen, They think 610 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: it needs to happen. They are are not willing to 611 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: let this go and keep running out to you it 612 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 1: should be entirely a function of whether the president deserves 613 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: to be impeached or not, instead of oh, how will 614 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: this look for us? What will this mean for us 615 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: going forward? If in fact the president is impeached, does 616 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: that make it harder for us to you know, win 617 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: seats in the House and the Senate and defeat the 618 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: president because no one thinks, no one seriously believes he's 619 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: going to be removed by two thirds vote of the Senate. 620 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: No one really thinks that that's going to happen. So, 621 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: you know, and just as it a side I watched 622 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 1: speaking of politics and all this, I was just last 623 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: night trying to I had a hard time falling asleep, 624 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: and I was looking for someone to watch, and I 625 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: threw on Designated Survivor, and man, it is so for 626 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: some reason, those ABC, NBC, CBS, those shows on those networks, 627 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: I just find her. The writing is always so trite, 628 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 1: and it's all so predictable and key for Sutherland the 629 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 1: whole thing. Man, I don't know, we need some. There's some. 630 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 1: There's a lot of great shows out there, don't I'm 631 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,919 Speaker 1: not even I'm not even gonna get into a Game 632 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 1: of Thrones. I called it. I've been saying all along. 633 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: The show really lost its way in the last This 634 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: last season was pretty much just garbage top to bottom, 635 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,320 Speaker 1: and the season before that was very shaky in some parts, 636 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 1: and without the great source material of the books, the 637 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: writers were just not in a position to execute at 638 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 1: the same level. But anyway, I know you don't want 639 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: you don't you don't come here from my Game of 640 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: Thrones hot takes. But I finally caught up post China 641 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: and post Los Angeles trips. I was able to watch it. 642 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: I didn't think it was I think I thought it 643 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 1: was all very predictable and not very good. But back 644 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: to speaking of predictable, back to impeachment and whether impeachment 645 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: it's going to happen or not. I just think that 646 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 1: they tell you everything that you need to know. With 647 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 1: the fact that even the Democrats in the House, as 648 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: rapidly anti Trump as they are and as dedicated as 649 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: they are to the you know, removal of Trump from office, 650 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 1: at least in theory or the destruction of Trump's presidency, 651 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: they can't bring themselves to actually do this. They can't 652 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: bring themselves just commit to it. What else we already 653 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: have the mull Report. What else do we have to know? 654 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: What else has to be said for them to come around? 655 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 1: And there's just this back and forth. They're really just 656 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: putting their fingers in fingers in the air to see 657 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: which way the wind is blowing, and that's how they're 658 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,839 Speaker 1: going to determine whether or not the president is worthy 659 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: of impeachment. But that tells you everything, because then it's 660 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: it's it's just a political calculation has been along. This 661 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: is just a fight for power. There's nothing about principle here. 662 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: They're not, you know, standing up for the little guy. 663 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: They don't care about the Constitution. You know, depending on 664 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,720 Speaker 1: the day, a lot of libs in government and outside 665 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 1: of government will tell you the Constitution is really old 666 00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: and we shouldn't pay attention to it and it doesn't 667 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,720 Speaker 1: really matter at her. And you know, why don't people 668 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,359 Speaker 1: just realize that, you know, there's other stuff that we 669 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 1: should we should really care about. You know, there's other 670 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 1: stuff that should be determining the future of this country. 671 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 1: But then when the constitution suits them, Ah, that's when 672 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: you'll start to hear all of a sudden, how how important, 673 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,800 Speaker 1: how profound it is. You know, Newt was out on 674 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 1: this question of impeachment. I think he's Look, he's a 675 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: guy who he knows the impeachment game. He knows how 676 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:30,240 Speaker 1: that whole thing goes real well. And and there's something 677 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: that gets skipped over a lot of the time in 678 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 1: the discussions over this that I think is really really valid, 679 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: really important, and I'll I'll let the Newtster take the 680 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: helm From minute plate fifteen. Ken Star issues a report 681 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:49,240 Speaker 1: which has eleven counts, and when she says he is guilty, okay, 682 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:54,879 Speaker 1: five of them are obstruction discount guilty, discount guilty. If 683 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: more an issue report that said Donald Trump is guilty 684 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 1: on eleven counts, there would be an impeachment effort. In 685 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: Clinton's case, they're felonies. I mean, it always takes me 686 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: the feminist who worry about this. You know, Clinton was 687 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: convinting a felony of perjury in a sexual harassment lossuit. 688 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: In Trump's case, Mueller comes back and says, there's nothing 689 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,839 Speaker 1: there that you could take him to court on. There's 690 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 1: a pretty big gap here. Does anyone really believe that 691 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 1: if they had more evidence? You see this, this was 692 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: the I didn't What Mueller did was the equivalent of 693 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: the I didn't really try defense when you know you 694 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,800 Speaker 1: lose the race. You know, when if you're going to 695 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 1: raise somebody and then you don't, you can't beat them. 696 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,839 Speaker 1: You stop like fifty fifty feet from the finish line 697 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: before they can finish and say, well, I didn't really try. 698 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: That's what Mueller did with the report by saying that 699 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 1: we couldn't really bring charges anyway. That was the fallback position, 700 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: because I assure you, I assure you, if they really 701 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,800 Speaker 1: had the president nailed on something, if it was clear 702 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: that he broke the law, and they could make that 703 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 1: case beyond a reasonable doubt. Then what would have been 704 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: in the report is the president broke the law, we 705 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 1: should bring charges, or we would bring charges, but we can. 706 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 1: The fallback position was merely because well, what's the you know, 707 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 1: what's the case going to be? What was the charge 708 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 1: going to be? They brought up ten different ones. Okay, 709 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: which one? Which one is the clear case of obstruction? 710 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: Of the ten little vignettes, little stories that Muller tells 711 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 1: in his diary entries posing as the Mueller report, which 712 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: is the one that really, you know, no matter how 713 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,399 Speaker 1: much you like this president or how much you want 714 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 1: to defend him, you can't get pasted. I can't think 715 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,959 Speaker 1: of it. Can you think of it? I got nothing. 716 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 1: I don't see it. I don't think that it's there. 717 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: I don't think that there's anything that Mueller has that 718 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: was was a slam dunk or even close to it. 719 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: And if he had it, he to use it. But 720 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 1: keep in mind, Clinton, it was a slam dunk. The 721 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,839 Speaker 1: guy lied, the guy lied, the guy obstructed, the guy 722 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 1: did all kinds of things that were bright red line crossing, 723 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:16,319 Speaker 1: and Democrats still completely circled the wagons around him. Democrats 724 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: still you know, refuse to accept that what Bill Clinton 725 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 1: did was completely beyond the pale, was totally unacceptable. So 726 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 1: what we have is just the Democrats now pretending like 727 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 1: we have no ability to recall that history. We have 728 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: Democrats who act in dishonorable fashion around this question of impeachment. 729 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 1: And that's why when you hear from those like Rashida 730 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: to Leb and Kevin Kramer and you know, and others 731 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:53,360 Speaker 1: on this issue. Kevin Kramer, I know he's a Republican, 732 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 1: so forget him. But when you hear Rashida to Leed 733 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 1: talking about that he just came in the top of 734 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 1: the segment, you recognize that they're just lying. They're lying 735 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 1: to the public all the time. But the public, a 736 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 1: lot of the public likes to be lied to about Trump, 737 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 1: and this is why their complaints about Trump and his 738 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 1: exaggerations and his stretching of the truth and all the 739 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 1: things that he does. This is why it never really resonates, 740 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,919 Speaker 1: because we turn around and say, you know, you guys 741 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:22,360 Speaker 1: are engaged in constant, constant lying about this president. You 742 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 1: guys can't help yourselves but come up with stories, creating 743 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 1: fake quotes and tweeting them out and saying, oh, sorry, 744 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 1: my bad. Didn't think people would take that seriously. No, no, 745 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 1: we are going to take it seriously, just like we 746 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,919 Speaker 1: took it seriously when for two years they were suggesting 747 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,399 Speaker 1: or outright accusing the president of committing treason. And now 748 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,240 Speaker 1: when the President says, oh, some of those deep state clowns, 749 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 1: they may have betrayed their country, even if it didn't 750 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: arise to the constitutional and legal definition of treason, they say, oh, 751 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 1: how could he use that word? How could he use 752 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 1: that word? It was what they were how they were 753 00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 1: describing him for the last how many years. They still 754 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,320 Speaker 1: believe it. Some of them still believe it. I'm always 755 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 1: amazed there are all these Russia collusion truthers out there 756 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,879 Speaker 1: now who block me on Twitter, and I don't even 757 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,959 Speaker 1: know who they are, but I suppose I've created something 758 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,439 Speaker 1: of a of a stir online by just going after them, 759 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 1: and they particularly dislike that. I'm from the CIA and 760 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 1: am willing to call out the top echelon of bureaucrats 761 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 1: at both CIA and FBI for what really was a 762 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,719 Speaker 1: soft coup attempt. And there's a tremendous nervousness that we're 763 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 1: going to find out exactly what happened, and that there 764 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 1: are not just going to be consequences for those involved 765 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 1: directly it did, but also consequences for those who look 766 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:48,360 Speaker 1: like morons utter morons, and that includes a lot of 767 00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 1: the press for perpetuating this story. And I think what'll 768 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 1: end up happening is they're gonna they're gonna go here's 769 00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,919 Speaker 1: here's my prediction. They're gonna wait to go full throw 770 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 1: on impeachment till after the Inspector General report comes out. 771 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 1: The idea of being go on offense, go on offense 772 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 1: against Trump. That's what the Democrats are gonna do. It 773 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,319 Speaker 1: doesn't matter how shameless and how brazen it is. They're 774 00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,839 Speaker 1: gonna go on offense. They're gonna say, see, we have 775 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,080 Speaker 1: to remove him. And we're gonna say, well, hold on 776 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,399 Speaker 1: a second, there was a deep state could remove him. 777 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,239 Speaker 1: Now you're gonna try to remove him or try to 778 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 1: impeach him through the processes of the Congress. And they say, yeah, 779 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 1: that's right, Now is the time to do it. They 780 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 1: have no honor, they have no integrity. And if you're 781 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,480 Speaker 1: somebody who has no honor integrity, what do you do 782 00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,880 Speaker 1: when you're caught blame the other side. That's how I 783 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 1: see this playing out. Why should another white guy be president? Well, 784 00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 1: white guy who doesn't see other identities or understand other 785 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 1: experiences should not be president. I do, and you know 786 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,719 Speaker 1: where there would be gaps, and my knowledge or my 787 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,359 Speaker 1: experience will pass the mic to people you know who 788 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,160 Speaker 1: do have that experience. I've also pledged that I would 789 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:10,879 Speaker 1: ask a woman to serve as vice Swallowell, there who 790 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 1: believe it or not? Congress and Swallowell, he of Russia collusion, fraud, 791 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 1: fame is one of I can't keep track. I do 792 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,480 Speaker 1: this for a living, and I can't even tell you 793 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,359 Speaker 1: how many Democrats are actually running for office right now. 794 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 1: I just I know it's a lot. I know there 795 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 1: are a lot of them running for office, but I 796 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,000 Speaker 1: couldn't tell you what the I think it's twenty one, 797 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,840 Speaker 1: it might be twenty two. You know at some point 798 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 1: who even you know, it doesn't even really matter. Most 799 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,600 Speaker 1: of them are. This is just ridiculousness. Swallowell, I think 800 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 1: is in that category. But you know this is a 801 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,160 Speaker 1: This is more than just Eric Swalwell that has to 802 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:53,360 Speaker 1: do this. The ben venye oh, I need to debase 803 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 1: my knowledge and my opinions on things because I need 804 00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:02,719 Speaker 1: to confront my whiteness. I confront my whiteness all the time. 805 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,239 Speaker 1: These are things that don't even make sense. You say 806 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,320 Speaker 1: them out loud, you think, what do what do they think? 807 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: What do democrats the left think they mean when they 808 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,759 Speaker 1: do this? What is really the purpose of it? You know, 809 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,359 Speaker 1: Swawell here, this is just the it's kind of a 810 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 1: pathetic bend the knee experience. He says, I know where 811 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 1: there are gaps in my knowledge or experience, and I 812 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 1: know when to pass the mic. You know what the 813 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,920 Speaker 1: answer should be to why should another white guy be president? 814 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 1: Which was the question that he was asked. The answer 815 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,320 Speaker 1: to that should be because I'm the best person for 816 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 1: the job. If that's not the answer, then you darn 817 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:45,280 Speaker 1: sure shouldn't be president, which we all know Eric Swalwell 818 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 1: should not be a president. But you know, even for 819 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,040 Speaker 1: a Democrat, this is a stretch. Even for a Democrat, 820 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 1: this is a bad idea. I mean, I would heaven 821 00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,759 Speaker 1: forbid if I had to pick a Democrat, would be 822 00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:05,960 Speaker 1: pretty low down on the list. But he knows that 823 00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 1: this is the the intersectional left is the center. Now 824 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,880 Speaker 1: is the kind of hard and soul of the Democratic Party, 825 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 1: and the activist class and the media and Hollywood elites 826 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 1: have embraced all this. You know they are true believers 827 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,839 Speaker 1: if you will in the notion that you are somehow 828 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 1: a problem. You've done something wrong by being a white guy, right, 829 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,760 Speaker 1: you have to apologize, you have to confront your privilege. 830 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:39,719 Speaker 1: This is just what they say. It's a kind of 831 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,600 Speaker 1: original sin now to be a white male in American politics, 832 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:49,359 Speaker 1: according to leftist Democrats, because you've enjoyed white privilege your 833 00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 1: whole life. You so you inherently have had this this 834 00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 1: special advantage that you can't quantify and that you had 835 00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 1: no control over. But you're supposed to make some kind 836 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,960 Speaker 1: of amends for it. How could you ever make amends 837 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,560 Speaker 1: for being who you are? Isn't this contrary to what 838 00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,840 Speaker 1: is really at the center of so much of democratic 839 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,120 Speaker 1: identity politics, which is that you need to be you 840 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,600 Speaker 1: know you do you? You need to be you, You 841 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:18,000 Speaker 1: need to live your truth. So why can't I just say, 842 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 1: or why can't Eric Squalle just say I'm living my 843 00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:25,880 Speaker 1: truth as a white male, as a white male, cisgender heterosexual. 844 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:27,839 Speaker 1: Why why can't that just be my truth that I 845 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,120 Speaker 1: live without being beat up on and told that that 846 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 1: somehow is problematic. Well, because this is all as we 847 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:40,880 Speaker 1: know about power. This is about the transference of power 848 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:45,920 Speaker 1: from one group to another group via a narrative. The 849 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 1: narrative here is intersectionality or identity politics. These are different 850 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,360 Speaker 1: variations on a theme. They are different ways of saying 851 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:57,560 Speaker 1: essentially the same thing. But isn't it so interesting that 852 00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:02,360 Speaker 1: a democratic party that is a sessed with identity politics 853 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:08,160 Speaker 1: finds itself having to apologize once again for having straight 854 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:12,040 Speaker 1: white males. Well, Buddha Jig is a Buddha judge, is 855 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:17,160 Speaker 1: um he's high, you know, high enough that you could 856 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,080 Speaker 1: put him in the top three, I guess, but straight 857 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,880 Speaker 1: white males effectively or number one and two right now, Bernie, 858 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 1: and I was gonna say Betto Bettos like really sorry. 859 00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this, but he apologized 860 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,640 Speaker 1: for being a bad word after he lost his election, 861 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:36,360 Speaker 1: and he just like wants everyone to be his friend again. 862 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 1: And I don't think that's gonna happen, Betto. I think 863 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,520 Speaker 1: I think Betto's toast. Se used to say back in 864 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,920 Speaker 1: the nineties, I smell burnt toast. In this case, it's 865 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:51,680 Speaker 1: Betto's toast. I think he's done so. But there's another 866 00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 1: reason why you have straight white male or in this case, 867 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,480 Speaker 1: two white males. I mentioned Buddha Judge is number three. 868 00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,360 Speaker 1: I think I keep saying his name differently. I know, 869 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,399 Speaker 1: I can't. You know, it's a it's a hard one, 870 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,600 Speaker 1: and that is that some of the females in the 871 00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:07,440 Speaker 1: Democrat primary right now are just I think it's fair 872 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 1: to say they're underperforming from where even Democrats thought they 873 00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:15,400 Speaker 1: would be. You know, Elizabeth Warren had the most spectacular 874 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:20,799 Speaker 1: unforced error in politics that I can I've seen maybe 875 00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:24,560 Speaker 1: ever with that whole one one and twenty fourth Cherokee thing. 876 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,880 Speaker 1: I mean, that was so bizarre. And I was calling 877 00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 1: CNN out the day that happened because they reported initially 878 00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,640 Speaker 1: as like Elizabeth Warren proving her heritage. It's like, are 879 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:39,160 Speaker 1: you guys morons? She's proving that she's not even vaguely 880 00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:43,480 Speaker 1: Native American. And someone from CNN Corporate Communications actually came 881 00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:47,319 Speaker 1: after me publicly. That was fun. He learned the buck 882 00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,920 Speaker 1: slap stings. It's like, do you really want to you 883 00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 1: really want to play this game and pretend that CNN 884 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,120 Speaker 1: is an objective news source. You want to do this publicly, 885 00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:56,960 Speaker 1: you want to have this out. There's a reason why 886 00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,960 Speaker 1: none of your anchors publicly will try to challenge me 887 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 1: on this because they will get intellectually smoked. And they 888 00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:07,719 Speaker 1: know it. That's why they don't exactly buck slap. They 889 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:11,279 Speaker 1: know it's way to the I like that one too. 890 00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:19,240 Speaker 1: But Amy klobishchar she's another one who you know, they 891 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 1: want it to happen. They want Amy Klobisher to be 892 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,239 Speaker 1: a thing, you know, to be a political phenomenon. They 893 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,160 Speaker 1: want Kamala Harris. I mean, they're they're they're just there 894 00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,360 Speaker 1: and they don't have it. They don't have it. You 895 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:35,920 Speaker 1: think that a political ideology that has such dominance in 896 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 1: the in college campuses, in news media, in entertainment media 897 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 1: in a way that's you know, Netflix is now saying 898 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna pull back their investment in Georgia because of 899 00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:50,160 Speaker 1: the Heartbeat Bill. You never see this in the other direction. 900 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,680 Speaker 1: You never have a major media company say, you know 901 00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:58,359 Speaker 1: that that state that wants to allow biological males to 902 00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,880 Speaker 1: compete in athletics against biological females, We're just going to 903 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:02,799 Speaker 1: pull all of our business from that state. We don't 904 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:07,120 Speaker 1: do that. There is this emotional impulse that left us 905 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 1: have it. They will indulge that brings them to it's 906 00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,240 Speaker 1: not enough to disagree. They want to They want punishment. 907 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:19,680 Speaker 1: They want people to feel pain who don't agree with them. 908 00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,360 Speaker 1: But well, we'll get back into why is Amy Klobaschar 909 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:41,480 Speaker 1: not happening? He's back with you now, because when it 910 00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,760 Speaker 1: comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. 911 00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:51,000 Speaker 1: Number of important Supreme Court decisions came down today. I 912 00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,799 Speaker 1: want to spend us a little time with you going 913 00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:57,760 Speaker 1: through what matters, why you care what happened here, without 914 00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:01,400 Speaker 1: getting into all that much deeds Hill, But here's the 915 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,880 Speaker 1: quick thirty thousand foot view of what we saw in 916 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court decisions that just came down. Liberals are 917 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:15,760 Speaker 1: very ideologically rigid, especially when it comes to the operate. 918 00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,800 Speaker 1: When they have an opportunity on the court to get 919 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:23,799 Speaker 1: what they want, they make sure they go for it right. 920 00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:28,880 Speaker 1: Conservatives still, just as a function of their approach to 921 00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:33,759 Speaker 1: the law, try to leave things intact. They believe in 922 00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,520 Speaker 1: starry decisives, they believe in precedent. They're not looking for 923 00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 1: every opportunity to just break down what was there before 924 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:46,400 Speaker 1: and replace it with something else entirely right there. They 925 00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,719 Speaker 1: don't do the Roe v. Wade approach. They don't make 926 00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,839 Speaker 1: things up whole cloth because that's the way they want 927 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,719 Speaker 1: it to be. And so that means that the other side, 928 00:54:55,760 --> 00:55:00,080 Speaker 1: the liberal justices, the activist justices on the court, they 929 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,920 Speaker 1: tend to get big winds thrown their way, whereas what 930 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:08,399 Speaker 1: we have is just a kind of judicial minimalism, right, 931 00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 1: the respect of the law as it is. And even 932 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:17,359 Speaker 1: if Justice Scalia was perhaps the great example of this, 933 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,839 Speaker 1: even when he didn't like something and thought it might 934 00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:25,400 Speaker 1: be wrong, he believed that if it was legal and constitutional, 935 00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,200 Speaker 1: it was not his place to decide that it was wrong. 936 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:33,440 Speaker 1: It was to the people, and that Supreme Court justices 937 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,280 Speaker 1: are not there to decide what's best for the country. 938 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,480 Speaker 1: They're there to call balls and strikes with regard to 939 00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,440 Speaker 1: the constitution. That's really it, and that was his approach. 940 00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:46,480 Speaker 1: You don't have that with liberal justices. They see the 941 00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,440 Speaker 1: opportunity to hit a home run for their side and 942 00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,480 Speaker 1: legislate from the bench, they go for it. So you 943 00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 1: had you had an abortion case. And abortion has become 944 00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 1: a big topic in recent recent months because of the 945 00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:07,680 Speaker 1: renewed extremism, or perhaps just the more apparent extremism of 946 00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,640 Speaker 1: the left on this issue up to and including the 947 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,600 Speaker 1: support of as we heard from Governor Ralph Northam. Oh, 948 00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,799 Speaker 1: what happened to Ralph Northam? Remember that guy at the 949 00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,160 Speaker 1: photos and the black face who lied about it and 950 00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,879 Speaker 1: said he wasn't sure it was him. It was him. 951 00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:25,719 Speaker 1: The libs oh lips just swept that whole thing under 952 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:29,359 Speaker 1: the rug. That's right. You had the top three officials 953 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:36,880 Speaker 1: for the state government of Virginia, Northam, Harring and forgetting 954 00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,720 Speaker 1: the guy's name see Fairfax, thank you all. I remembered, 955 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,680 Speaker 1: I remember, But this is how well they pushed uff 956 00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:46,680 Speaker 1: down the memory hole. You just forget it. It's not 957 00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:51,000 Speaker 1: there anymore. Did any of them step down? No? Did 958 00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,839 Speaker 1: any of them face any consequences? No? Why because if 959 00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,160 Speaker 1: one went, there was the fear that all would go, 960 00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:58,920 Speaker 1: and if all went, you'd have a Republican at the 961 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,960 Speaker 1: top of the government of the governor's ticket in Virginia 962 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:08,480 Speaker 1: based on the rules of succession. That succession not succession, 963 00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:13,040 Speaker 1: just to be clear. So yeah, they just made that 964 00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 1: whole They made that whole thing going. But you remember 965 00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,320 Speaker 1: Northam was the one who talked about making an infant 966 00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:22,200 Speaker 1: comfortable before it was aboarded outside the womb, and having 967 00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,400 Speaker 1: a conversation with the mother about what to do with 968 00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:28,120 Speaker 1: an outside there's a there's a better name for a 969 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,960 Speaker 1: fetus outside the womb. It's the more accurate, more precise, 970 00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 1: It's called a baby. What do you do with a baby? 971 00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:42,360 Speaker 1: And the answer is, according to Democrats, whatever the mother 972 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:46,960 Speaker 1: and the doctor decide, the baby does not have independent rights. 973 00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:53,400 Speaker 1: It does not have legal protection of any kind. This 974 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:57,720 Speaker 1: is a rather horrifying thing for any human being to believe. 975 00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:01,280 Speaker 1: But this is the this is the dogma of the 976 00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,320 Speaker 1: left now, I mean, this is considered a kind of 977 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:09,080 Speaker 1: anti gospel among progressives. There is no there is no 978 00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,840 Speaker 1: life there to protect. It does not matter my body, 979 00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:15,600 Speaker 1: my choice. It's just slogans and anger and rage. You know. 980 00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:17,800 Speaker 1: I had actually a woman who figured out There was 981 00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,400 Speaker 1: one woman who figured out who I was, so to speak, 982 00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:24,560 Speaker 1: in California, among my travels among the far left libs 983 00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,000 Speaker 1: there I was kind of undercover among the Libs in 984 00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,800 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and one of them figured out and the 985 00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:33,040 Speaker 1: first thing she wanted up talking about is abortion. And 986 00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:34,880 Speaker 1: she said, why do you want to control my body, 987 00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,120 Speaker 1: into which I looked at her and I thought, you know, 988 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot of ways I could go with this, 989 00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:43,240 Speaker 1: but because that was certainly I have no interest in 990 00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,920 Speaker 1: controlling this, particularly that this person or any person's body. 991 00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,120 Speaker 1: But I try to say to her, look, this is 992 00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:51,600 Speaker 1: if you can understand that this is a discussion, or 993 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 1: this is a debate over the second life, is that 994 00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,919 Speaker 1: that has involved here, that there's a separate life, then 995 00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:02,920 Speaker 1: we actually don't have much to talk about. If you 996 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:04,680 Speaker 1: don't think that a baby is a baby, I can't 997 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:06,720 Speaker 1: convince you that a baby is a baby. If you 998 00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:10,000 Speaker 1: don't think that a human being with a brain, a heart, lungs, hands, fingers, 999 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:14,080 Speaker 1: fingernails is a human being, I don't know what to 1000 00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:17,440 Speaker 1: say other than you're wrong. Right, So there's not a 1001 00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,640 Speaker 1: whole lot of a whole lot of room on this 1002 00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:21,760 Speaker 1: and I managed to kind of just get past it 1003 00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,600 Speaker 1: and get around the issue. But the left are are 1004 00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:29,320 Speaker 1: abortion extremists, and that's why today's decision was in a 1005 00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:33,320 Speaker 1: variety of ways, not just interesting for what it does 1006 00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:35,200 Speaker 1: right now, but also I think what it points to 1007 00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,960 Speaker 1: down the line. You have this this case that involved 1008 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:43,800 Speaker 1: a law passed in Indiana and signed by then Governor 1009 00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:48,280 Speaker 1: Pence now Vice President Mike Pence, and it required the 1010 00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:54,919 Speaker 1: fetal remains from a abortion to be disposed of separately, 1011 00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:02,080 Speaker 1: separately from the rest of what would be considered medical refuse, 1012 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:07,600 Speaker 1: and to be either cremated or buried. Essentially, this law 1013 01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:11,040 Speaker 1: said that the fetal remains after an abortion are to 1014 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,320 Speaker 1: be treated like the parts of a human being, which 1015 01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,560 Speaker 1: you know, if if when a person dies, they don't 1016 01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:21,240 Speaker 1: throw the dead body on a trash heap. That is 1017 01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,320 Speaker 1: what they were doing with the And I know this 1018 01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,240 Speaker 1: is grizzly stuff, folks, but this is this is reality, 1019 01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:29,360 Speaker 1: and we deal in reality on this show. They do 1020 01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,680 Speaker 1: take the remains of an abortion, they throw it on 1021 01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:36,720 Speaker 1: to They put it in with medical refuse, with you know, 1022 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:43,600 Speaker 1: use syringes and with you know, bloody cloths and just 1023 01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:45,840 Speaker 1: things that come from a doctor's They just throw it 1024 01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:49,160 Speaker 1: all in there, throw it all in together, thrown in 1025 01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,160 Speaker 1: the trash, put it on a trash down. This law 1026 01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:54,040 Speaker 1: just said we're going to treat fetal remains as what 1027 01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:55,880 Speaker 1: they clearly are, which are the remains. It is the 1028 01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:58,280 Speaker 1: remains of a human being. I mean, if people want 1029 01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:02,120 Speaker 1: to argue that we won't extend legal personhood to that 1030 01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,040 Speaker 1: human being. I mean, it's a flawed argument, but at 1031 01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:07,200 Speaker 1: least it's an argument. But it's clearly this is a 1032 01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:09,880 Speaker 1: tiny These are tiny legs and arms and heads we're 1033 01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,400 Speaker 1: talking about. That's what's going on. And I mean I 1034 01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:16,000 Speaker 1: have not forgotten. Still the most stomach churning and difficult 1035 01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,960 Speaker 1: news story I have had to cover was what we 1036 01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:22,840 Speaker 1: saw from the videotapes of the Center for Medical Progress 1037 01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:25,840 Speaker 1: and the sale of body parts for profit, that Planned 1038 01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:28,479 Speaker 1: Parenthood is engaged in the sale of fetal body parts 1039 01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,560 Speaker 1: for profit. That is what was happening. That was never that. 1040 01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,160 Speaker 1: They can call it heavily edited. They can lie and 1041 01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:36,280 Speaker 1: they can do the devil's work for him as much 1042 01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 1: as they want. That is what was happening there. We 1043 01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,720 Speaker 1: all know this. We saw the videos. It was not debunked. 1044 01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:45,320 Speaker 1: And man, did the forces of the organized left go 1045 01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:48,320 Speaker 1: after those individuals. David de Layden and the people that 1046 01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,800 Speaker 1: were working with him did everything in their power to 1047 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:56,800 Speaker 1: ruin them, criminally prosecute them for the crime of journalism. 1048 01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,760 Speaker 1: They were willing to make undercover journalism a crime. All 1049 01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:02,440 Speaker 1: of us sudden use wire tapping laws. I mean the 1050 01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:06,120 Speaker 1: left on this issue if you probe deeply, deeply enough, 1051 01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,280 Speaker 1: because it's it's again a threat to their power structure. 1052 01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,120 Speaker 1: It's a threat to the Democratic Party, to the left's 1053 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:15,280 Speaker 1: grip on power in this country. But it's also a 1054 01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:21,160 Speaker 1: threat to their sense of moral superiority. One of the 1055 01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:26,880 Speaker 1: great and bizarre and obduse realities of our current time 1056 01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:28,600 Speaker 1: is that it is the leftists who think that they 1057 01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:32,560 Speaker 1: are decent and moral and kind, when in so many ways, 1058 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,280 Speaker 1: in so many places, they are anything. But their ideology 1059 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:41,240 Speaker 1: is one of death and often misery and hypocrisy and 1060 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:46,120 Speaker 1: despair and trying to do things in a way that 1061 01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,760 Speaker 1: reject both human nature and human history and try to 1062 01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:56,120 Speaker 1: replace it with empty promises. So there were two components 1063 01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:59,840 Speaker 1: of this Supreme Court ruling on the one had to 1064 01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:08,760 Speaker 1: do with the disposal of babies after an abortion and 1065 01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:10,320 Speaker 1: how they're to be supposed. And it isn't interesting that 1066 01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:12,840 Speaker 1: the plan parent, who would even fight that plan parent, 1067 01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:14,480 Speaker 1: has a very when they were fighting. If they have 1068 01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:18,240 Speaker 1: they have a very clear interest in the dean the 1069 01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:22,840 Speaker 1: complete dehumanization of the fetus. Now, how do they square 1070 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,520 Speaker 1: that with when a woman is pregnant and is murdered, 1071 01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:28,360 Speaker 1: for example, there'll be a double homicide charge. What's Planned 1072 01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,280 Speaker 1: Parenthood's legal position on that one, I would like to know. 1073 01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:35,040 Speaker 1: I'm not sure they've thought that far and figured it out. 1074 01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:39,080 Speaker 1: They're just trying to do everything they can to protect 1075 01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:44,840 Speaker 1: this regime of infanticide and to continue running these abattoirs 1076 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:49,040 Speaker 1: for infants known as plan Parenthood clinics across the country. 1077 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:53,800 Speaker 1: Then you also have the prohibition in this law in 1078 01:03:53,800 --> 01:04:00,280 Speaker 1: Indiana on an abortion based upon sex, race, or possible 1079 01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:06,920 Speaker 1: disability of a fetus. Now, the Planned Parenthood defense against 1080 01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:11,480 Speaker 1: this is why would somebody Why would you only why 1081 01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:13,919 Speaker 1: why would you only force somebody to have a baby 1082 01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,600 Speaker 1: if it, for example, had if they thought it was 1083 01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:20,040 Speaker 1: going to have Down syndrome. But somebody with a healthy 1084 01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:24,360 Speaker 1: baby could could do it anytime they want, and that 1085 01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,160 Speaker 1: that is an interesting line of logic, But I would 1086 01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,120 Speaker 1: or that is an intersting point for them to hold. 1087 01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,600 Speaker 1: But it also note that what this really does, what 1088 01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:36,320 Speaker 1: this law shows is that abortion, in the way that 1089 01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,120 Speaker 1: the left defends it and calls it a right, it 1090 01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:44,120 Speaker 1: is a right. It's really a form of it. It's 1091 01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:47,960 Speaker 1: an open invitation to eugenics. This is a pure This 1092 01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:52,800 Speaker 1: is a purely eugenicist proposition, that getting rid of a 1093 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,320 Speaker 1: baby because it's male or female instead of mail, or 1094 01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:58,280 Speaker 1: because it's the wrong race, or because it may have 1095 01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:04,680 Speaker 1: some disability. Uh, that is a that is a eugenicist proposition, 1096 01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,640 Speaker 1: plain and simple. I mean, you can't really get around 1097 01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:09,800 Speaker 1: I mean this is and then you start to go 1098 01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:13,640 Speaker 1: And it's a reminder to the public of the eugenics 1099 01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:18,400 Speaker 1: roots of the abortion movement in this country, the abortion 1100 01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:23,360 Speaker 1: lobby and Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger, and that there 1101 01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,720 Speaker 1: has always been from the left, this promise that the 1102 01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:28,960 Speaker 1: unwanted and this is from the left. This is the 1103 01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,840 Speaker 1: left disposition that the unwanted in society will be they'll 1104 01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,560 Speaker 1: be less of them because more will be aborted, and 1105 01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:37,520 Speaker 1: so it's a good thing for the rest of society. 1106 01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:41,000 Speaker 1: That is pure eugenics. That is that is and this 1107 01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:43,800 Speaker 1: is not an exaggeration. That is the position that the 1108 01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:48,120 Speaker 1: Nazis held. This was taken up by the Third Reich. 1109 01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:50,840 Speaker 1: You know that we want They wanted to get rid 1110 01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,840 Speaker 1: of um disabilities in the general population by insisting on 1111 01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:58,640 Speaker 1: either sterilization or abortion for people that might have had 1112 01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:03,640 Speaker 1: a child with some congenital defect or the Nazis explicitly 1113 01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:08,400 Speaker 1: embraced this, and now you have planned parents saying no, 1114 01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,040 Speaker 1: if you if you really want a blue eyed baby, 1115 01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:12,800 Speaker 1: and you know this baby's gonna have brown eyes, and 1116 01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:15,600 Speaker 1: that's just you know, that's your decision, your body, your choice. 1117 01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:19,360 Speaker 1: Could it get more immoral than this, my friends? I mean, 1118 01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:24,280 Speaker 1: could it be more clearly demonic than this? You know, 1119 01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,600 Speaker 1: I flew back from Los Angeles just a couple of 1120 01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,640 Speaker 1: days ago, and I you know, I do not I'm 1121 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:31,360 Speaker 1: not yet married. I know you'd have my own kids. 1122 01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:33,800 Speaker 1: I sat beyond there was a really cute little baby 1123 01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:35,600 Speaker 1: in front of me, and the baby wasn't crying a lot, 1124 01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:38,680 Speaker 1: which is very nice. It is very and it was 1125 01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:40,280 Speaker 1: just smiling and like to sort of do the whole 1126 01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,280 Speaker 1: peekaboo thing in between the seats, and the mom was 1127 01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:45,360 Speaker 1: really friendly. And I don't know what could be a 1128 01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:47,960 Speaker 1: greater gift in any in anyone's life, and any mother's life, 1129 01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,640 Speaker 1: in any father's life than having an adorable little baby. 1130 01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:55,280 Speaker 1: And I have never met somebody to this day, I've 1131 01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,880 Speaker 1: never met somebody who said, wow, I really wish I 1132 01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:01,200 Speaker 1: really wish I'd aborted my son or daughter. I have 1133 01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:05,360 Speaker 1: tragically met some people who have the opposite feeling of 1134 01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:07,280 Speaker 1: I really shouldn't have made the choice that I made 1135 01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:12,320 Speaker 1: to terminate the pregnancy. So these Supreme Court decisions that 1136 01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,240 Speaker 1: came down today, while they weren't big wins for the 1137 01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:19,880 Speaker 1: pro life movement, they are illustrating the realities of what's 1138 01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 1: going on. And I can just say this to you 1139 01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:24,560 Speaker 1: if you want to take I know this is a 1140 01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:27,240 Speaker 1: difficult conversation, but if you want to take something from 1141 01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:34,520 Speaker 1: this that is at least hope, this regime of abortion 1142 01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,640 Speaker 1: and all nine months of a pregnancy funded by your 1143 01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:39,960 Speaker 1: tax dollars. By the way, it is funded by your 1144 01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:43,880 Speaker 1: tax dollars, It's going to end. I can't tell you when, 1145 01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:47,600 Speaker 1: and I can't tell you how, but it will end. 1146 01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,960 Speaker 1: And just as we look back on some other periods 1147 01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:54,840 Speaker 1: in our history as how could that much and it 1148 01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,600 Speaker 1: wasn't everyone involved in it, it wasn't everywhere, But how 1149 01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:01,560 Speaker 1: could so much evil an im around have flourished in 1150 01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:06,640 Speaker 1: an otherwise great and just and decent country. We will 1151 01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:10,520 Speaker 1: look back at this, this period of the last fifty 1152 01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:14,400 Speaker 1: years or so, assuming it ends within fifty year. Who knows, 1153 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:16,800 Speaker 1: I'd say, how could this have been the case? How 1154 01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,720 Speaker 1: could a moral and otherwise moral country have allowed this 1155 01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:25,000 Speaker 1: to go on? We'll have more on this, friends, and 1156 01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:26,840 Speaker 1: I do want to talk to you about this show 1157 01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,639 Speaker 1: scher Noble that I because they are important lessons. I'm 1158 01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:32,559 Speaker 1: not just going to sit here and play TV critic, 1159 01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:34,280 Speaker 1: although sometimes I like to do that. That's kind of fun, 1160 01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:36,000 Speaker 1: but I'm not really going to do that. There's some 1161 01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:41,200 Speaker 1: important takeaways from watching that miniseries, and HBO will get 1162 01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:49,559 Speaker 1: to that and more. Stay with it. What is wrong 1163 01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:55,160 Speaker 1: with Justin Amash? What is this guy's problem? Why is 1164 01:08:55,200 --> 01:09:01,200 Speaker 1: he doing a CNN town hall where was just earlier today? 1165 01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:03,599 Speaker 1: I think? Am I am? I right on this one. Yeah, 1166 01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:06,519 Speaker 1: just this just happened when we're on air to the 1167 01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:13,080 Speaker 1: CNN town hall where he's trashing Trump, calling for impeachment 1168 01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:18,160 Speaker 1: of the president, saying the Attorney General deliberately misrepresented the 1169 01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:23,840 Speaker 1: Mule report. I mean with with Republican friends like Amash Amash, Am, 1170 01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:27,320 Speaker 1: I think it's Amash, you know, who needs crazy left 1171 01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:30,720 Speaker 1: wing enemies? You know, really, I think it's for an 1172 01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:35,519 Speaker 1: ask what is this guy's problem? Can Democrats never have this? 1173 01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:39,479 Speaker 1: Democrats never have defections fromin their own res you know why, 1174 01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:43,639 Speaker 1: because this suits. The enticements, the goodies that the left 1175 01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:48,760 Speaker 1: can offer people are just it's they just induced the sellouts, 1176 01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:52,360 Speaker 1: they really do. You know. It's the uh, it's the 1177 01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:55,080 Speaker 1: Jeff Flake maneuver. Oh you know, I don't want the left, 1178 01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:58,360 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be the rogue Republican that occasionally has 1179 01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:00,400 Speaker 1: nice words said about him by the left. I'm gonna 1180 01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:04,520 Speaker 1: go rogue on my own side so that no stop 1181 01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:08,400 Speaker 1: selling out I mean for him to say. And I 1182 01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:12,439 Speaker 1: just thoroughly disagree with Amasher on the merits. The attorney 1183 01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:15,479 Speaker 1: General didn't misrepresent anything, all right. If he misrepresented it, 1184 01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:18,040 Speaker 1: then tell me what he misrepresented and bring charges against 1185 01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:23,360 Speaker 1: the president, you punk, But you won't, none of them will. Man. 1186 01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:25,479 Speaker 1: You know, It's really what it is is Trump just 1187 01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,680 Speaker 1: drives these people nuts. There are just certain people who 1188 01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:32,160 Speaker 1: can't handle that this guy that they believe so firmly 1189 01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:34,400 Speaker 1: is terrible in the job and should never have the job. 1190 01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:38,559 Speaker 1: It's actually doing a pretty good job. They just they 1191 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:44,920 Speaker 1: can't deal. They can't deal anyway, cher Noble. It's an 1192 01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:49,320 Speaker 1: incredible show, but there are lessons about government and bureaucracy 1193 01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:51,040 Speaker 1: that I take from it that I want to share 1194 01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:52,439 Speaker 1: with you that'll be coming up in the top of 1195 01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:54,559 Speaker 1: the hour. I mean, it's an incredible mini series and 1196 01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:58,760 Speaker 1: it's haunting and terrifying, and it's true. It makes it 1197 01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:07,080 Speaker 1: much more powerful. We'll get to that well of the 1198 01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:14,240 Speaker 1: good we did, it doesn't matter. What doesn't matter is 1199 01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:20,200 Speaker 1: that to them justice was done. See a just world. 1200 01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:27,839 Speaker 1: There's a sane world. There was nothing sane about Chernobyl. 1201 01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:37,840 Speaker 1: I'm pleased to report that situation in Chernobyl estate. In 1202 01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,960 Speaker 1: terms of radiation, I'm told it's the equivalent of a 1203 01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:47,559 Speaker 1: chest X ray. No. Chernobyl is on fire and every 1204 01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:53,160 Speaker 1: atom of uranium is like a bullet, penetrating everything in 1205 01:11:53,200 --> 01:12:00,800 Speaker 1: its path, metal, concrete, flash not Chernobyl holds over three 1206 01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:07,640 Speaker 1: trillions of these bullets. So this is this is the 1207 01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:12,680 Speaker 1: betrailer for HBO's Sure Noble mini series, which I have 1208 01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:15,639 Speaker 1: to tell you all is I think the best thing 1209 01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:20,839 Speaker 1: on television scripted show on television right now. It's it's 1210 01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:24,120 Speaker 1: absolutely worth watching if you even have to go on 1211 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:27,439 Speaker 1: your TV and pay to just download it and watch 1212 01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:29,200 Speaker 1: it on demand. In some I think there are ways 1213 01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:30,880 Speaker 1: you can do that now even with HBO shows, you 1214 01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:33,720 Speaker 1: can buy it. If you don't have HBO, it's worth it. 1215 01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:36,720 Speaker 1: I think it's five or six episodes. I have not 1216 01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:38,479 Speaker 1: seen it all the way through. I've seen the first 1217 01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:43,960 Speaker 1: three episodes of it, and it's it's excellent. And it's 1218 01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,400 Speaker 1: excellent for a number of reasons. One it's just the writing, 1219 01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:53,679 Speaker 1: the production value from what I understand, the accuracy of 1220 01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:58,080 Speaker 1: the costuming and the the shots, the way they set 1221 01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:01,479 Speaker 1: up this cinematography so you see you know the different 1222 01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,920 Speaker 1: components of the burning reactor, and it's all just very, 1223 01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:08,160 Speaker 1: very true to life that they really recreated this in 1224 01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:13,120 Speaker 1: a way that it's like a fast paid scripted documentary almost. 1225 01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,080 Speaker 1: There's nothing kind of silly or out of place about it. 1226 01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:22,160 Speaker 1: But even more importantly, it is not as a reminder 1227 01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:26,360 Speaker 1: of a pretty shocking historical incident that I think has 1228 01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:30,080 Speaker 1: really gotten lost. And I'll tell you this truthfully, I'm 1229 01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:32,240 Speaker 1: not someone who knew much. I knew that Chernobyl there 1230 01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:35,559 Speaker 1: was a there was a meltdown, although from watching the 1231 01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:37,720 Speaker 1: mini series, which you see, is that it's more than 1232 01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:43,439 Speaker 1: a meltdown. The reactor exploded. It was a situation that 1233 01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:45,040 Speaker 1: if they did not get an under control. They were 1234 01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:48,680 Speaker 1: going to be irradiating the continent of Europe and who 1235 01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:53,400 Speaker 1: knows what else. But the real reason why it's so 1236 01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:56,280 Speaker 1: worthwhile for you to watch is that I put Chernobyl 1237 01:13:56,360 --> 01:14:00,920 Speaker 1: in a kind of similar category to say, the lives 1238 01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:05,360 Speaker 1: of others, the German movie about the East German The Sorry, 1239 01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:08,880 Speaker 1: the German language movie about the East East Berlin Stazi, 1240 01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:12,479 Speaker 1: the Secret Police, and you watch the lives of others 1241 01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:17,840 Speaker 1: and you understand what a real modern day tyranny is like. Well, 1242 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:22,200 Speaker 1: what is tyranny in an advanced Western European country, What 1243 01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:25,559 Speaker 1: would tyranny look like in you know, the nineteen sixties, 1244 01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:29,720 Speaker 1: What would tyranny have felt like for everyday people? And 1245 01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:32,560 Speaker 1: this is why some of the most powerful anti Soviet 1246 01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:37,000 Speaker 1: writing that was ever done. And obviously East Germany was 1247 01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:40,640 Speaker 1: part of the behind the Iron Curtain, part of the 1248 01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:44,400 Speaker 1: Soviet Union, and you had the Berlin Wall because of 1249 01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:48,599 Speaker 1: the separation of the West and the Soviet Soviet power. 1250 01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:52,120 Speaker 1: But it gives you some of the most powerful stuff 1251 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,280 Speaker 1: is the description that you can get from people of 1252 01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:57,439 Speaker 1: the day to day what does it really like to 1253 01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:01,479 Speaker 1: live under a totalitarian gime? What is it like when 1254 01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:06,720 Speaker 1: you cannot question authority when government officials make all of 1255 01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:10,640 Speaker 1: the important decisions for you in your life, whether you 1256 01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:14,360 Speaker 1: realize it or not. And how soul crushing that is, 1257 01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:19,559 Speaker 1: how dysfunctional it is. It's a reminder of what makes 1258 01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:23,800 Speaker 1: freedom precious to all of us. But what is so 1259 01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:27,320 Speaker 1: I think has such a great impact so profound about 1260 01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:32,240 Speaker 1: watching Chernobyl other than it's just a very good viewing experience. 1261 01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:35,479 Speaker 1: I mean, it will suck you in and it's something 1262 01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:37,599 Speaker 1: that I think we'll stay with you for quite some time. 1263 01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:45,960 Speaker 1: Is the way that it shows you bureaucracy, I mean true, sclerotic, 1264 01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:54,360 Speaker 1: completely immovable bureaucracy and action. And what do incompetent government 1265 01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:57,519 Speaker 1: officials who are not in any way accountable to the people, 1266 01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:01,960 Speaker 1: what do they do? What is their first impulse, even 1267 01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:07,360 Speaker 1: in the face of an unbelievable risk and a tremendous tragedy, 1268 01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:10,960 Speaker 1: even when you would think that your basic humanity If 1269 01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,840 Speaker 1: you were one of these government bureaucrats, and they take 1270 01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:17,280 Speaker 1: you through the various meetings of the you know, the 1271 01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:20,599 Speaker 1: local Communist party officials, the higher up sort of regional 1272 01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:23,400 Speaker 1: Communist Party officials, all the way up to the equivalent 1273 01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:26,400 Speaker 1: of the true energiesar, you know, not like the csars 1274 01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:28,439 Speaker 1: we have here. But well, I guess it's not really 1275 01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:30,479 Speaker 1: a ZAR there either. They got rid of the ZAR. 1276 01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:35,240 Speaker 1: But they walk you through these different these different meetings, 1277 01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:38,040 Speaker 1: these discussions, and I'm sure that they're recreating the dialogue 1278 01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:41,639 Speaker 1: and all that, but it does show you that the 1279 01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:44,040 Speaker 1: number one goal of the bureaucracy, and this is something 1280 01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:46,440 Speaker 1: I say to you. And look some of the conversations 1281 01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:50,840 Speaker 1: that they have about this nuclear explosion and the reactor. 1282 01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:53,559 Speaker 1: You know, it kind of reminds me of the approach 1283 01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:56,040 Speaker 1: I used to see from some people in the CIA 1284 01:16:56,120 --> 01:17:00,479 Speaker 1: and in the government just in general. Whenever something goes bad, 1285 01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:05,320 Speaker 1: the first reaction of the government bureaucrat is not, oh 1286 01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:08,439 Speaker 1: my gosh, what does this mean for the people they're 1287 01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:12,439 Speaker 1: supposed to be public servants. The first reaction is are 1288 01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:15,280 Speaker 1: we going to get in trouble? Is one of us 1289 01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:18,760 Speaker 1: going to get fired? Is the institution that we work 1290 01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:24,640 Speaker 1: for are going to come into public disrepute? Will there 1291 01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:28,000 Speaker 1: possibly be a cutting of the budget, Will there be hearings? 1292 01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:32,759 Speaker 1: Because they don't have a product, so they're not really process, 1293 01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:36,560 Speaker 1: as I always say, is the product of bureaucracies. Bureaucracies 1294 01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:40,840 Speaker 1: often exist to exist much of the workforce in any 1295 01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:44,479 Speaker 1: especially a government bureaucracy is just there because there have 1296 01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:50,680 Speaker 1: to be people there. They don't particularly do anything, they 1297 01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:55,760 Speaker 1: don't do very much, and that you see in real time. 1298 01:17:55,760 --> 01:18:00,200 Speaker 1: But then when you get into okay, you're faced with 1299 01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:03,719 Speaker 1: with true catastrophe. And you you heard some of there 1300 01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:08,200 Speaker 1: in that introduction your face. With the possibility of mass 1301 01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:13,840 Speaker 1: mass cancer cases and people dying and rady dying from 1302 01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:16,760 Speaker 1: radiation poisoning is from what I understand, one of the 1303 01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:19,720 Speaker 1: most painful and horrific ways you can go. It's like 1304 01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:23,200 Speaker 1: being burned from the inside out. And you know, and 1305 01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:25,400 Speaker 1: this is what the and these bureaucrats all they want 1306 01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:27,559 Speaker 1: to make sure is that they're not in trouble and 1307 01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:30,200 Speaker 1: that the Communist Party looks good and that the Soviet 1308 01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:34,040 Speaker 1: Union looks good. And it was all about CYA cover 1309 01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:38,400 Speaker 1: or I guess maybe CYB cover your butt. That's rule 1310 01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:41,000 Speaker 1: number one in every bureaurous. Well, now, rule number one 1311 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:43,000 Speaker 1: is process is the product, and rule number two is 1312 01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:48,120 Speaker 1: cover your butt. And this is in a way a 1313 01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:51,360 Speaker 1: reminder of how you know, government is not your friend. 1314 01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:54,439 Speaker 1: Government is not there to keep you safe and warm. 1315 01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:58,040 Speaker 1: Government is not about making you feel better about yourself 1316 01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:02,280 Speaker 1: at night. Government should have very limited processes that it 1317 01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:07,000 Speaker 1: engages in, very limited missions, very limited scope. That it 1318 01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:11,960 Speaker 1: also has to have accountability to the people. And when 1319 01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:14,880 Speaker 1: you have an unaccountable bureaucracy, which we have in this 1320 01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:16,719 Speaker 1: country too. This is not just in this over Union. 1321 01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:19,720 Speaker 1: We have unaccountable federal bureaucracies, hello deep State trying to 1322 01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:23,559 Speaker 1: get rid of Trump. Things can get out of control 1323 01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:28,000 Speaker 1: very quickly. And that's why when I look at this 1324 01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:37,440 Speaker 1: I watched this Chernobyl miniseries. The mentality of these these communists, 1325 01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:40,200 Speaker 1: I mean true commies, right, not commedies in the way 1326 01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:41,640 Speaker 1: that I like to throw the term around. Is just 1327 01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:47,040 Speaker 1: a general disparagement for psycholibs, although it works for them too. 1328 01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:55,519 Speaker 1: But these real ideologically driven communist party officials who when 1329 01:19:55,680 --> 01:20:00,560 Speaker 1: faced with a reality that is that is not favorable 1330 01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:03,840 Speaker 1: to the interests of their party and of the bureaucratic 1331 01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:09,240 Speaker 1: mechanisms that it represents and overseas, they just insist on 1332 01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:13,719 Speaker 1: inverting reality. They insist that the truth is not true. 1333 01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:18,439 Speaker 1: That's what's false is correct. That's the response you get 1334 01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:20,960 Speaker 1: and from all the you know, the God that failed. 1335 01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:24,200 Speaker 1: I've mentioned that to you before, the writings of former 1336 01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:28,320 Speaker 1: communists who turned on communism, including Richard right here in 1337 01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:32,520 Speaker 1: the United States and many others. It's I think almost 1338 01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:34,559 Speaker 1: You can download it online for free, I believe, but 1339 01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:36,400 Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's even really in print anymore. You 1340 01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:37,960 Speaker 1: can get it in some places, probably get on an 1341 01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:41,360 Speaker 1: Amazon for twenty bucks or something. It is well worth 1342 01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:46,479 Speaker 1: the read. It's excellent, and it just part of the 1343 01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:50,120 Speaker 1: process of understanding the failures of a communist system, of 1344 01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:54,400 Speaker 1: any truly authoritarian system. Part of the ability to understand 1345 01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:58,960 Speaker 1: it has to be premised always in they don't care 1346 01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:02,519 Speaker 1: what happens to people. It's never about the people. That's 1347 01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:06,000 Speaker 1: why they're always naming everything the people's army, the people's palace, 1348 01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:09,719 Speaker 1: the people's this, the people's that they protest too much 1349 01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:12,680 Speaker 1: about the people, because it's never about the people. It's 1350 01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:16,600 Speaker 1: about them and their power and protecting that power and 1351 01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:20,759 Speaker 1: those privileges. And that's what Your Noble, this mini series 1352 01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:24,679 Speaker 1: shows you in a way that will it will stay 1353 01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:26,799 Speaker 1: with you, it will haunt you. So I highly highly 1354 01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:28,960 Speaker 1: recommend you watch Your Noble. I do think it is 1355 01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:31,320 Speaker 1: the best thing on TV right now, and I'm going 1356 01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:34,040 Speaker 1: to finish the last episode tonight. So as far as 1357 01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:37,600 Speaker 1: China is concerned they were gonna make a deal, I 1358 01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:40,639 Speaker 1: think they probably wish they made the deal that they 1359 01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:43,320 Speaker 1: had on the table before they tried to renegotiate it. 1360 01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:46,759 Speaker 1: They would like to make a deal. We're not ready 1361 01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,720 Speaker 1: to make a deal, and we're taking in tens of 1362 01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:52,200 Speaker 1: millions of dollars of tariffs, and that number could go 1363 01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:56,880 Speaker 1: up very, very substantially, very easily. But I think sometime 1364 01:21:57,160 --> 01:22:00,840 Speaker 1: in the future China and the United States will absolutely 1365 01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:05,160 Speaker 1: have a great trade deal, a great trade deal. The 1366 01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:09,400 Speaker 1: President says, well, we've got billions and billions of dollars 1367 01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:12,320 Speaker 1: at stake. The market seem to be a little spooked 1368 01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:15,719 Speaker 1: lately about what the future is here, what should we expect, 1369 01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:18,599 Speaker 1: and is the President still on the right track when 1370 01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:20,439 Speaker 1: it comes to China. Some are saying this could be 1371 01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:24,080 Speaker 1: one of the biggest determining factors in how our economy 1372 01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:28,040 Speaker 1: does in what's going to be a very contentious election cycle. 1373 01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:30,400 Speaker 1: We've got our friend Gordon Chang joining us now as 1374 01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:33,080 Speaker 1: the author of the Coming Collapse of China. Gordon, great 1375 01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:37,599 Speaker 1: to have you back. So much buck. How is Trump 1376 01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:40,360 Speaker 1: doing with all of this and does the current situation 1377 01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:44,720 Speaker 1: visa be China surprise you? Yeah, I think Trump's doing 1378 01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:48,600 Speaker 1: actually very well on trade, and the reason is that 1379 01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:54,559 Speaker 1: she's taken of mark departure from his predecessors. But it 1380 01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:58,160 Speaker 1: was something that absolutely needed to happen. You know, as 1381 01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:03,080 Speaker 1: for whether I'm surprised or not, we have always thought 1382 01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:06,560 Speaker 1: that there were impediments on the Chinese side to a 1383 01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:12,120 Speaker 1: trade deal. Treasury Secretary Stephen Manuchen I think ignored them, 1384 01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:14,680 Speaker 1: but it was clear that there were problems inside the 1385 01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:18,599 Speaker 1: political system there, and now it's evidence that there are 1386 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:22,040 Speaker 1: because China's we're talking about a people's war against the 1387 01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:25,679 Speaker 1: United States. In other words, we're the enemy of China 1388 01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:29,680 Speaker 1: and the Chinese people. Also, they talk about the economic 1389 01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:34,200 Speaker 1: system be a core interest quote unquote, and in Chinese 1390 01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:37,040 Speaker 1: Communist Party lingo, that is something that they can go 1391 01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:41,000 Speaker 1: to war over. So clearly, right now we're not in 1392 01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:43,519 Speaker 1: a point where there can be an agreement between the 1393 01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:47,360 Speaker 1: two sides. Do you think that there's a component of 1394 01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:49,160 Speaker 1: this where they're trying to wait out and see what 1395 01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:52,040 Speaker 1: happens in the election and the hopes that if there 1396 01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:54,960 Speaker 1: were to be a Democrat, any Democrat who defeated Trump, 1397 01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:58,960 Speaker 1: there would be an expectation that they'd be in a 1398 01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:01,360 Speaker 1: better position and maybe could just make this whole, this 1399 01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:04,080 Speaker 1: whole trade dispute in a sense, or least America's willingness 1400 01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:06,120 Speaker 1: to stand up to China when it comes to trade 1401 01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:09,800 Speaker 1: go away. I think that there maybe some elements in 1402 01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:13,200 Speaker 1: the Chinese political system that think that way. You know, 1403 01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:16,519 Speaker 1: we saw, for instance, when the Molar report was released, 1404 01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:19,880 Speaker 1: China became much more interested in talking to President Trump, 1405 01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:23,280 Speaker 1: and I think that they probably were waiting for the 1406 01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:28,080 Speaker 1: release of that long anticipated document, you know, when it 1407 01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:30,760 Speaker 1: comes to the election. I'm not so sure, because that's 1408 01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:33,880 Speaker 1: more than a year away, and I'm not so sure 1409 01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:37,120 Speaker 1: that Chinese officials think that they can actually wait that 1410 01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:41,320 Speaker 1: period of time, because if there were no deal until 1411 01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:45,599 Speaker 1: after the November twenty elections, a lot of companies would 1412 01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:48,360 Speaker 1: have in the interim made the decision to leave China, 1413 01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:50,920 Speaker 1: and I don't think the Chinese believed that that's a 1414 01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:53,720 Speaker 1: good thing for them and that they could withstand a 1415 01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:59,040 Speaker 1: substantial reduction in their manufacturing sector. So Gordon, what should 1416 01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,679 Speaker 1: the Trump administration do? Stick to stick to its guns 1417 01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:04,519 Speaker 1: on this one. Should they hold fast? What is this 1418 01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:06,760 Speaker 1: the correct approach? Because right now, I think there a 1419 01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:08,720 Speaker 1: lot of people who view this. I mean I hear 1420 01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,439 Speaker 1: them on a regular basis, talking on TV, writing articles saying, 1421 01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:16,080 Speaker 1: just imagine how economy would be doing if Trump hadn't 1422 01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,640 Speaker 1: engaged in this back and forth with China. What do 1423 01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:22,040 Speaker 1: you say to that, Yes, long term, we have to 1424 01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:24,640 Speaker 1: do this. You know, China is stealing somewhere between one 1425 01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:27,560 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty and six hundred billion dollars worth of 1426 01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:31,160 Speaker 1: US intellectual property each year. That's a grievous wound to 1427 01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:34,320 Speaker 1: the US and we've got to stop it. Now. People 1428 01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:36,160 Speaker 1: may say tariffs are not the way to do it, 1429 01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:40,000 Speaker 1: but if you take that position, then you're probably arguing 1430 01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:43,760 Speaker 1: for even more coercive measures. So tariffs are sort of 1431 01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:47,439 Speaker 1: an inferim way. I think the President is going to 1432 01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:50,240 Speaker 1: find that He's probably going to go to even more 1433 01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:53,200 Speaker 1: drastic measures eventually, because the Chinese are going to force 1434 01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:56,120 Speaker 1: him to do that. And unfortunately, this is a fight 1435 01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:58,840 Speaker 1: that we have to have. But fortunately this is a 1436 01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:01,599 Speaker 1: perfect time for us to do so, because our economy 1437 01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:06,800 Speaker 1: is robust and the Chinese economy is increasingly fragile. Yeah, 1438 01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:08,840 Speaker 1: what's going on with the Chinese economy right now? I 1439 01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:11,200 Speaker 1: mean how much of a how much pain are they 1440 01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:14,719 Speaker 1: feeling as a result of their intransigence on these trade 1441 01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:19,320 Speaker 1: issues the Trump administration is pushing back on. Yeah, the 1442 01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:22,360 Speaker 1: Chinese economy is not growing at the six point four 1443 01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:24,920 Speaker 1: percent pace that they claim for the first quarter of 1444 01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:27,880 Speaker 1: this year. It's probably in the onesies, maybe even in 1445 01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:32,320 Speaker 1: the twosies that we're seeing, for instance, important indicators pointing 1446 01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:35,679 Speaker 1: negative at the end of last year. In December, an 1447 01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:39,000 Speaker 1: important Chinese professor in Beijing said, look, the Chinese economy 1448 01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:41,479 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen is going to grow no more than 1449 01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:45,160 Speaker 1: one point six to seven percent, maybe even contract And 1450 01:26:45,320 --> 01:26:49,439 Speaker 1: there has really been no substantial improvement since then. A 1451 01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:52,160 Speaker 1: matter of fact, there's been some more negative factors that 1452 01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:57,519 Speaker 1: have occurred since December. So China right now is in trouble, 1453 01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:02,240 Speaker 1: especially because it's accumulating get sustainable pace, and I think 1454 01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,679 Speaker 1: the Chinese are getting nervous. We're seeing this because people 1455 01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:07,600 Speaker 1: are starting to put money in gold and in hard currencies, 1456 01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:10,640 Speaker 1: and that's not a good sign for China. You know, 1457 01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:12,120 Speaker 1: Gordon I was just over there, and I know I 1458 01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:14,439 Speaker 1: spoke to you before I went over to China. I 1459 01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:17,960 Speaker 1: was in Beijing and Shanghai, as the audience knows, and 1460 01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:21,559 Speaker 1: there were a lot of different China experts that had 1461 01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:24,280 Speaker 1: been studying the issue for decades that I had access 1462 01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:25,439 Speaker 1: to it. I was able to spend a lot of 1463 01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:28,360 Speaker 1: time with over there, and one thing that that seemed 1464 01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:31,600 Speaker 1: to come up in a bunch of different contexts was 1465 01:27:31,680 --> 01:27:36,080 Speaker 1: just the that the deterioration in US China relations has 1466 01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:41,520 Speaker 1: gone beyond just a trade dispute into feelings of negativity 1467 01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:46,160 Speaker 1: toward America and perhaps even toward Americans among at least 1468 01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:51,320 Speaker 1: some segments of the Chinese population. What's your take on that. Yeah, 1469 01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:55,560 Speaker 1: I think that there probably has been some it's probably widespread. 1470 01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:59,400 Speaker 1: But also widespread is a real concern that China be 1471 01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:02,559 Speaker 1: able to make it through this, largely because they are 1472 01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:07,440 Speaker 1: dependent on the US economy and US producers and consumers. 1473 01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:11,400 Speaker 1: So at some point, you know, I think that we're 1474 01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:14,800 Speaker 1: going to see a divorce between the United States and China, 1475 01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:18,840 Speaker 1: largely because Cgping has dug in his heels and he 1476 01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:21,920 Speaker 1: has actually started to talk in terms that make it 1477 01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:25,240 Speaker 1: very difficult to have it that trade deal. When you say, 1478 01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:28,639 Speaker 1: people's war. You bran the United States an enemy that's 1479 01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:32,000 Speaker 1: going to have consequences, and so yes, Chinese people may 1480 01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:34,920 Speaker 1: like us a lot less, but unfortunately this is something 1481 01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:37,920 Speaker 1: that we have to go through. And the Trump administration 1482 01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:41,559 Speaker 1: manages to get the Chinese to finally sign a deal 1483 01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:44,080 Speaker 1: that you would say, that's the deal we want to sign. 1484 01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:47,840 Speaker 1: How just by staying where staying with the positions they 1485 01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:51,479 Speaker 1: have right now the only way to get their buck 1486 01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:54,240 Speaker 1: because right now the Chinese are nowhere close to that. 1487 01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:56,720 Speaker 1: The only way to get there is to have the 1488 01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:59,320 Speaker 1: Chinese feel that they're on the point of extinction and 1489 01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:04,200 Speaker 1: if they have choice. Wow, all right, Gordon shaying everybody 1490 01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:06,439 Speaker 1: authored the Coming Collapse of China.

God bless America and 1500 01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:44,160 Speaker 1: may God continue to guide this nation.

Sorry, guys, 1523 01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:52,679 Speaker 1: I know that drives me crazy, right, and I can't 1524 01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:54,720 Speaker 1: bring things up and not know when I'm bringing up 1525 01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:56,760 Speaker 1: here on the show. But John Voyd does a very 1526 01:30:56,800 --> 01:30:58,360 Speaker 1: good job on that. It's it's funny to me because 1527 01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:01,479 Speaker 1: I was just out in, just out in Los Angeles, 1528 01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:06,040 Speaker 1: and I did have the experience of kind of infiltrating 1529 01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:08,960 Speaker 1: a few a few precincts. I mean, I spent most 1530 01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:11,680 Speaker 1: of my time in LA and some of you my 1531 01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:19,040 Speaker 1: laugh in Venice Beach, which is far left, Santa Monica, 1532 01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:22,360 Speaker 1: which is also far left, but like a little richer 1533 01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:24,320 Speaker 1: far left, I think is what you'd say, a little 1534 01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:28,400 Speaker 1: more elitist far left. And then West Hollywood, which is 1535 01:31:28,439 --> 01:31:35,639 Speaker 1: known as being a very prominent gay area of Los Angeles, 1536 01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:38,920 Speaker 1: but also does you know, there's a lot of just 1537 01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:41,840 Speaker 1: restaurants and other things there that are fun to go 1538 01:31:41,880 --> 01:31:44,960 Speaker 1: to and check out at night. So it's a very 1539 01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:47,840 Speaker 1: vibrant neighborhood with a lot of stuff going on. That's 1540 01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:49,600 Speaker 1: where I spent but it's very liberal. All these are 1541 01:31:49,680 --> 01:31:51,840 Speaker 1: very liberal areas, even for Los Angeles. I did make 1542 01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:54,559 Speaker 1: it into Beverly Hills for a little while. Well hello, 1543 01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:58,639 Speaker 1: Beverly Hills, you're looking you're looking, well, you're The recent 1544 01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:01,280 Speaker 1: work you've had done on those kles has been fantastic. 1545 01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:04,040 Speaker 1: So I spent some time around there and I talk 1546 01:32:04,120 --> 01:32:06,680 Speaker 1: to people, and it is fun because I usually I 1547 01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:09,360 Speaker 1: don't launch into hey, I'm a I'm a conservative radio host, 1548 01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:12,519 Speaker 1: because then they would start melting in front of me, 1549 01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:15,000 Speaker 1: and it's it's like I would be walking human kryptonite. 1550 01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:19,840 Speaker 1: But I am in a position to say, well, I 1551 01:32:19,920 --> 01:32:22,400 Speaker 1: work for the Hill and maybe I'll let them think 1552 01:32:22,439 --> 01:32:24,439 Speaker 1: that I'm a journalist and I have a scruffy beard, 1553 01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:27,280 Speaker 1: and they kind of figure that i'm And man, did 1554 01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:29,800 Speaker 1: I get just in different places of the week that 1555 01:32:29,880 --> 01:32:32,320 Speaker 1: I was there, out at restaurants and bars. I have 1556 01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:34,639 Speaker 1: a lot of friends in Los Angeles. Did I get 1557 01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:39,160 Speaker 1: a double dose of left wing stupidity? I mean, I 1558 01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:43,400 Speaker 1: just got so much. There's such an an incredible amount 1559 01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:47,600 Speaker 1: of ignorance, but also a kind of fervent ignorance that 1560 01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:53,160 Speaker 1: you get among the entertainment industry lives there are particularly 1561 01:32:53,240 --> 01:32:59,320 Speaker 1: they're they're militantly they're militantly stupid. They believe very very 1562 01:32:59,360 --> 01:33:03,840 Speaker 1: strongly in what they believe and though almost nothing about it. 1563 01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:07,240 Speaker 1: And that's also where I think a deep insecurity comes in. 1564 01:33:07,320 --> 01:33:09,519 Speaker 1: Whenever you try to engage them in a conversation, they 1565 01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:13,360 Speaker 1: become emotional because it's really not about the issue. They 1566 01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:15,200 Speaker 1: get angry. You just drive a lot of libs, but 1567 01:33:15,200 --> 01:33:20,479 Speaker 1: with Hollywood libs man even more so. They get angry 1568 01:33:20,520 --> 01:33:24,040 Speaker 1: because the moment they're challenged, then there's this recognition that 1569 01:33:24,080 --> 01:33:28,360 Speaker 1: they might have to explain why it is they think 1570 01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:32,240 Speaker 1: what they think, and they're exposed. They feel like a 1571 01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:35,439 Speaker 1: whold On a second, if I actually have to explain 1572 01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:38,439 Speaker 1: to somebody why I believe these things, why I think 1573 01:33:38,479 --> 01:33:42,120 Speaker 1: these things, then perhaps they'll figure out that I don't 1574 01:33:42,120 --> 01:33:45,640 Speaker 1: really know, that it's really a fashion, that there's a 1575 01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:51,000 Speaker 1: virtue signal like I saw I think it was a 1576 01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:54,800 Speaker 1: a quote by Oh Gosh, I can't remember now, but 1577 01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:57,320 Speaker 1: I saw a quote recently about how I think it 1578 01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:01,280 Speaker 1: was Russell Kirk that liberally is m appeals the most 1579 01:34:01,320 --> 01:34:04,200 Speaker 1: to people's vanity, and that's why it's so such a 1580 01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:08,040 Speaker 1: powerful force. It appeals to human vanity, whereas conservatism is 1581 01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:10,640 Speaker 1: rooted in human reality, which is more difficult to understand 1582 01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:13,720 Speaker 1: and deal with. It's so true, man, That's that's the 1583 01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:17,439 Speaker 1: politics of Hollywood. Whatever appeals to an individual's vanity, that's 1584 01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:29,559 Speaker 1: what they believe. Rock and roll, fellow patriots, we made 1585 01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:43,960 Speaker 1: ours go up to eleven.

I mean, there's 1622 01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:53,960 Speaker 1: music that I listened to that I don't want to 1623 01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:56,120 Speaker 1: tell you all about, you know, I don't want to 1624 01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:58,840 Speaker 1: make you all think like, oh my gosh, Buck listens 1625 01:36:58,840 --> 01:37:00,680 Speaker 1: to that. And it's not just t Swift that I'm 1626 01:37:00,720 --> 01:37:04,759 Speaker 1: embarrassed about. There's other stuff too. There is some other stuff. 1627 01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:07,920 Speaker 1: I mean, if the right Natalie and Brulia song comes on, 1628 01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:10,439 Speaker 1: do I kind of groove out to those tunes? How 1629 01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:12,640 Speaker 1: many of you even know who Nalian Brually is? You 1630 01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:14,599 Speaker 1: know what's funny, There are a bunch of people listening 1631 01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:17,280 Speaker 1: to this right now who know exactly who I'm talking about. 1632 01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:20,720 Speaker 1: They're like, oh, and then they're in their head they're 1633 01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:26,920 Speaker 1: humming the tune. I'm already tone all right, Sorry about that, 1634 01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:30,880 Speaker 1: I know, I apologize. What else did Eric? Oh? Eric? Sorry? 1635 01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:33,200 Speaker 1: Eric asked me real questions about real things. So let 1636 01:37:33,240 --> 01:37:36,040 Speaker 1: me give that the attention and deference that it deserves. 1637 01:37:37,040 --> 01:37:40,200 Speaker 1: In terms of fixing the border problem, yes, you're correct. 1638 01:37:40,200 --> 01:37:43,719 Speaker 1: A wall's not going to fix the asylum request issue. 1639 01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:48,360 Speaker 1: They can just walk up to a wall and find 1640 01:37:48,479 --> 01:37:52,439 Speaker 1: the entry way, because all the walls do have places 1641 01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:54,600 Speaker 1: of entry or ways that you can get around it 1642 01:37:54,680 --> 01:37:57,320 Speaker 1: or even through it or over it. And then when 1643 01:37:57,320 --> 01:37:59,479 Speaker 1: they're caught, because remember, part of what the wall does 1644 01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:01,880 Speaker 1: is just down a legal entry so that it's easier 1645 01:38:01,920 --> 01:38:04,280 Speaker 1: to get caught. But if they get caught, they say, 1646 01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:06,719 Speaker 1: I have a credible fear. If they don't get caught, 1647 01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:09,680 Speaker 1: but then they're in the country pretty easy, right, and 1648 01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:13,679 Speaker 1: the president's executive orders. The problem there what slows them 1649 01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:18,200 Speaker 1: down on all that is the judges who come out 1650 01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:21,120 Speaker 1: and say, sorry, you're not allowed to You're not allowed 1651 01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:24,920 Speaker 1: to do that thing, these universal injunctions that come down. 1652 01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,960 Speaker 1: All it takes is one federal judge to decide that 1653 01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:30,559 Speaker 1: it's not allowed anymore. And that's kind of the end 1654 01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:33,800 Speaker 1: of it. Tim writes for Roll Call with lots of 1655 01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:38,080 Speaker 1: exclamation points. I did appreciate the Casablanca reference last week. 1656 01:38:38,479 --> 01:38:42,400 Speaker 1: Solid Beto impression. I'd pay good money, so you do 1657 01:38:42,479 --> 01:38:46,360 Speaker 1: Beto with Ben Shapiro doing Chris Matthews and Crowder doing 1658 01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:48,920 Speaker 1: his Bernie keep up the good work. I really do 1659 01:38:48,960 --> 01:38:51,519 Speaker 1: hope your message about the borders getting through to the 1660 01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:53,519 Speaker 1: White House, well, thank you, Tim, and that would be fun. 1661 01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:57,679 Speaker 1: Shapiro doing Shapiro doing Chris Matthews, Crowder doing Bernie Buck 1662 01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:00,720 Speaker 1: doing betto You know, maybe many should put that out 1663 01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:02,040 Speaker 1: there in the ether. That would be a fun little 1664 01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:03,760 Speaker 1: segment we could all do together, and I think it 1665 01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:09,080 Speaker 1: would work. It would work very well. Julie, Right, hey, Buck, 1666 01:39:09,120 --> 01:39:12,280 Speaker 1: great show on Friday. I'm glad you're back from China. Well, Julie, 1667 01:39:12,320 --> 01:39:14,559 Speaker 1: that makes two of us a little too much. A 1668 01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:17,519 Speaker 1: little too much brown sauce, which is just a fancy 1669 01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:21,599 Speaker 1: way of saying soy sauce. Which is a fancier way 1670 01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:25,880 Speaker 1: of saying gluten sauce. That's right, soy sauce number two ingredient. 1671 01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:29,759 Speaker 1: Check it out yourself. Wheat, very little soy in soy sauce. 1672 01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:32,760 Speaker 1: It should be called wheat sauce, which is essentially a 1673 01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:36,280 Speaker 1: form of poisoning Buck. So we don't like that. Oh 1674 01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:38,360 Speaker 1: and by the way, Julie says, all the guest hosts 1675 01:39:38,360 --> 01:39:40,360 Speaker 1: were good or enjoyable. I'm wondering if it's ever been 1676 01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:44,479 Speaker 1: explained why Christopher Steel was desperate to stop Trump. I 1677 01:39:44,560 --> 01:39:46,280 Speaker 1: may have missed that in a disaster of the last 1678 01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:50,080 Speaker 1: two years. Maybe because he was desperate for a paycheck. 1679 01:39:50,160 --> 01:39:52,120 Speaker 1: If you ever go back the Freedom Up podcast, maybe 1680 01:39:52,120 --> 01:39:54,240 Speaker 1: you can do a listening contest for the next guest. 1681 01:39:54,680 --> 01:39:56,960 Speaker 1: Not everyone has an interesting life, but I bet some 1682 01:39:57,120 --> 01:40:00,720 Speaker 1: of your or a listener contest, but I bet some 1683 01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:05,760 Speaker 1: of your listeners do. Thanks, Julie, Julie. Christopher Steele, I'm 1684 01:40:05,800 --> 01:40:08,680 Speaker 1: sure is just like so many others. I mean, this 1685 01:40:08,760 --> 01:40:10,559 Speaker 1: is what I would guess. I don't know this, so 1686 01:40:10,720 --> 01:40:15,559 Speaker 1: I just this is my surmising or my analyzing of 1687 01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:20,760 Speaker 1: the circumstances. But Christopher Steele is someone who is very 1688 01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:24,880 Speaker 1: much I'm sure of the internationalist establishment mindset, and that 1689 01:40:24,920 --> 01:40:28,080 Speaker 1: means that he've used Trump as a tremendous threat to 1690 01:40:28,080 --> 01:40:32,559 Speaker 1: the establishment. That Trump is somebody who up ends not 1691 01:40:32,680 --> 01:40:40,200 Speaker 1: just the systems that the establishment relies on, but also 1692 01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:44,320 Speaker 1: the sense of importance and control and sense of self 1693 01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:49,360 Speaker 1: that so many people who rely on various institutions, you know, 1694 01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:51,639 Speaker 1: they feel like, well, what is it all about? If 1695 01:40:52,200 --> 01:40:55,200 Speaker 1: someone like Trump can come along and do a better 1696 01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:59,160 Speaker 1: job and maybe even disrespect or disregard some of these 1697 01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:03,240 Speaker 1: nose worms and some of these established ways of doing business. 1698 01:41:04,200 --> 01:41:08,639 Speaker 1: So there was a very widespread revulsion among the elites 1699 01:41:08,720 --> 01:41:11,519 Speaker 1: against Trump. Of course, the great irony in there is 1700 01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:14,719 Speaker 1: that Trump is himself at least a billionaire of some level. 1701 01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:17,920 Speaker 1: We don't know exactly how much, but a billionaire, and 1702 01:41:18,040 --> 01:41:23,360 Speaker 1: so is financially speaking, in the true elite. But they 1703 01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:26,960 Speaker 1: view him as a traitor to his class. Now let's 1704 01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:32,879 Speaker 1: see here, Richard writes, buck happy hellos from the Hoosier 1705 01:41:34,080 --> 01:41:39,120 Speaker 1: about the app adversity score. Nonsense. A third of someone's 1706 01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:41,800 Speaker 1: score is based on where you live. Let's say I'm 1707 01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:44,040 Speaker 1: well off and live in the suburbs of Chicago and Indiana. 1708 01:41:44,080 --> 01:41:47,360 Speaker 1: What's to stop me from buying a rundown house in Gary, Indiana, 1709 01:41:47,800 --> 01:41:51,120 Speaker 1: claim that as my primary residence and boosting my kids 1710 01:41:51,120 --> 01:41:54,240 Speaker 1: score so he gets into college, never really moving, and 1711 01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:56,800 Speaker 1: then selling it after This whole thing is stupid. I 1712 01:41:56,880 --> 01:41:59,280 Speaker 1: agree on Aquaman too. If the people of Atlanta's have 1713 01:41:59,320 --> 01:42:01,880 Speaker 1: the power to do all this amazing stuff, unlimited power, 1714 01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:03,519 Speaker 1: and get all sea left to do as they please, 1715 01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:05,880 Speaker 1: they could pick up the trash on the ocean floor 1716 01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:08,640 Speaker 1: and not could have war with humanity. Bad premise but 1717 01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:11,720 Speaker 1: fun special effects shield hide. Yeah, Richard, not a look. 1718 01:42:11,760 --> 01:42:14,519 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to beat up on the pro Aquaman side, 1719 01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:17,640 Speaker 1: although is that what I'm doing right now? Am I 1720 01:42:17,720 --> 01:42:21,479 Speaker 1: squishing you pro aquaman people? Like a bunch of tender 1721 01:42:21,560 --> 01:42:26,360 Speaker 1: calamari in my hand? That was my squishy noise. I 1722 01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:28,559 Speaker 1: don't know if that really even worked, just kind of 1723 01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:33,639 Speaker 1: sounded like, I well, anyway, it was a squishy noise 1724 01:42:33,680 --> 01:42:37,240 Speaker 1: of calamari in my hand. But let's move on back. 1725 01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:38,840 Speaker 1: Let's just go to the next one. Oh but no, 1726 01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:43,120 Speaker 1: your point about changing your residence as a means of 1727 01:42:44,320 --> 01:42:50,120 Speaker 1: finding a way around or scheming gaming the system on 1728 01:42:50,160 --> 01:42:55,160 Speaker 1: the adversity score for application processes, I don't know if 1729 01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:56,720 Speaker 1: that would work, but I'm sure they're going to be 1730 01:42:56,760 --> 01:42:59,360 Speaker 1: all kinds of ways that people try to scheme it. 1731 01:42:59,439 --> 01:43:03,639 Speaker 1: You know, the rules we keep trying to move around. 1732 01:43:03,640 --> 01:43:09,080 Speaker 1: It's hard enough to determine what is a fair minded 1733 01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:12,760 Speaker 1: you know, it's hard enough to determine what is a 1734 01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:17,880 Speaker 1: a an honest approach to weighing, engaging merit and skill 1735 01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:21,480 Speaker 1: and expertise. When you start adding all these other externalities 1736 01:43:21,520 --> 01:43:25,040 Speaker 1: into it, it it just becomes a mess. So, you know, 1737 01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:26,599 Speaker 1: I think that there will be ways that people can 1738 01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:29,519 Speaker 1: gain the system, and they will gain the system. I 1739 01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:31,320 Speaker 1: would also say this, you know, as a random aside, 1740 01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:34,240 Speaker 1: I don't want me think of this. I saw a 1741 01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:37,280 Speaker 1: young woman. When I say a young woman, probably thirty. 1742 01:43:38,560 --> 01:43:41,120 Speaker 1: I saw a young woman who was also in her 1743 01:43:41,120 --> 01:43:44,519 Speaker 1: thirties like me, at a at a bar when I 1744 01:43:44,560 --> 01:43:47,560 Speaker 1: was in a Hollywood and I looked at her for a 1745 01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:50,599 Speaker 1: a second and I thought, where have I seen this 1746 01:43:51,320 --> 01:43:55,680 Speaker 1: person before? Because she looked very, very familiar, and and 1747 01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:57,479 Speaker 1: we kind of stared at each other for a second, 1748 01:43:58,040 --> 01:44:00,519 Speaker 1: and it turned out that she was I felt I 1749 01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:02,240 Speaker 1: knew her as maybe she was a friend, but I 1750 01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:04,280 Speaker 1: am in Los Angeles. I should have known better. She 1751 01:44:04,360 --> 01:44:07,400 Speaker 1: was one of the actresses from the show Friday Night Lights, 1752 01:44:07,400 --> 01:44:09,760 Speaker 1: which I liked very much as a TV show, even 1753 01:44:09,760 --> 01:44:12,400 Speaker 1: though in a lot of ways it's ridiculous and the 1754 01:44:12,479 --> 01:44:14,800 Speaker 1: second season goes completely off the rails and there's a 1755 01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:17,760 Speaker 1: lot of there's a lot of stuff that was problematic 1756 01:44:17,760 --> 01:44:21,479 Speaker 1: about the show, but overall I felt that it kind 1757 01:44:21,479 --> 01:44:23,240 Speaker 1: of carried its weight and did a pretty good job. 1758 01:44:23,720 --> 01:44:25,720 Speaker 1: But she was one of the characters introduced in the 1759 01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:29,800 Speaker 1: last I guess two seasons of the show and I said, oh, 1760 01:44:29,880 --> 01:44:31,639 Speaker 1: Friday Night Lights, you're in Friday Lights and she kind 1761 01:44:31,640 --> 01:44:33,120 Speaker 1: of said, you know, yeah, And I talked to her 1762 01:44:33,120 --> 01:44:36,320 Speaker 1: for a minute. I tell you, not very friendly, so 1763 01:44:36,400 --> 01:44:39,479 Speaker 1: kind of kind of disappointing, because here I have somebody 1764 01:44:39,479 --> 01:44:41,400 Speaker 1: who really liked the show, and you know, you just 1765 01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:43,760 Speaker 1: you don't want to meet You don't want to meet 1766 01:44:43,800 --> 01:44:45,960 Speaker 1: the actors a lot of times from the shows that 1767 01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:48,519 Speaker 1: you like that much. I will tell you she was 1768 01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:50,920 Speaker 1: a little she was a little prickly, I'd say. And 1769 01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:52,920 Speaker 1: I wasn't. I swear I wasn't even. I was just 1770 01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:56,200 Speaker 1: being being a nice, normal dude sitting there. Wasn't trying 1771 01:44:56,200 --> 01:45:02,400 Speaker 1: to get a phone number or anything like that. All right, Gina, 1772 01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:05,720 Speaker 1: Oh okay, here we go, She says, she can't get 1773 01:45:05,720 --> 01:45:07,680 Speaker 1: on the iHeart. You know, guys, I don't know.
