WEBVTT - Media Freak-Out Monday 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:15.800 You are entering the freedom hunt. President Trump says something 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.320 kind of mean about Joe Biden and the media freaks out. 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:22.560 We'll talk about what that means, and also the latest 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:27.240 on North Korea and Iran policy, some big Supreme Court decisions, 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.360 what that means about the legal future for this country, 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.120 and Chernobyl is the best thing on television right now. 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:38.320 I'll explain why. Coming up. This is the Buck Sexton Show, 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.400 where the mission or mission is to decode what really 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:48.440 matters with actionable intelligence magnor mistake American, You're a great 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:56.960 American Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. Now, 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:02.520 Ken Jean the statement that Joe Biden was a low 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:06.560 IQ individual who probably is based on his record. I 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:08.800 think I agree with him on that Joe Biden was 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:13.839 a disaster. His administration with President Obama, they were basically 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.240 a disaster when it came to so many things. Whether 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.920 it was economy, whether it was military defense, no matter 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.120 what it was, they had a lot of problems. So 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:27.160 I'm not a fan. Welcome to the bucksac and Show. 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.960 Everybody tell President President Trump there were some harsh words 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.840 about Joe Biden, although are they untrue words? Or they 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:40.760 just harsh words. Media went into full on freak out mode, 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.000 which I suppose it's not even the least bit surprising. 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.720 They freak about everything, but saying that Biden is low 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:53.440 IQ seems to be too much for our intrepid press 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.960 cord to handle. I just I don't know. They never 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:01.360 grow tired of the freak out. They never grow tired 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:06.279 of suggesting a president Trump is basically the worst person 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.640 in the history of the universe, and they think that 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.760 if they keep telling us this, they will prevent him 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:18.520 from getting reelected. But I gotta tell you, I still 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:20.680 believe that Trump's in very in a very good position 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.280 if in fact, the economy stays where it is, and 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:28.400 if we continue to see the prosperity and just the 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:33.960 common sense approach to governance. They can complain about his 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.680 tweets all day. They can complain about his side comments. 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:41.600 Oh he's he's siding with dictators over his own countryman, 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:45.000 this is what they say. They forget that we remember 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.840 what was like during the Obama years. We remember what 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.720 it was like to hear that Republicans were a bunch 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:55.200 of warmongers and in fact war criminals. This was commonly 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.679 said about Bush and Cheney, especially toward the latter part 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:02.480 of the Bush administration, there were some who thought that 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.239 there should be charges brought against the commander into the 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.520 Commander Chief when it was Bush, for just the decisions 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.320 he made that they did not like. But now they're 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.720 worried about saying that someone is low IQ. I don't 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.440 think Biden's very smart. Does that make me a bad person? 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.280 That mean that I'm someone that isn't allowed to have 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.280 an opinion anymore. I think there's a lot of ways 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.280 that you can go back and look at what he's 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.320 said over time, and he's a pure It's just what 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:32.360 Reagan said, He's a pure demagogue. If you're somebody who's 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.800 not particularly sophisticated in your political thinking, and by that 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.080 I don't mean I don't mean fancy in your thinking. 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.720 I don't mean an establishment figure. I mean you're not 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.240 sophisticated and you don't understand that most of these guys, 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.840 most of these politicians, including Biden, are full of crap. 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:53.040 Most of them lie. They try to stand for one 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.480 thing when it comes to getting attention and donations, and 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.480 then when they're in the swamp, when they're in DC, 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.800 they go in a different direction. They hope nobody pays attention. 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.080 You know, they sign they sign off on things and 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.200 hope that they don't get held accountable for it. And 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:10.240 you know, there's all these different ways that they try 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:15.040 to evade accountability while at the same time promoting their 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:19.440 own individual brands and pretending like they're doing public service. 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:23.800 I think Biden is, in that way the quintessential American 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.680 politician with all the bad baggage that that brings with it. 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:32.080 And given what they say about Trump on a regular basis, 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.520 are we really to believe that Biden is low IQ? 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.600 Even if he said that, Kim jongun smiled at him 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.120 a little bit because he said this, and maybe Kim 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.960 jongan agrees that Biden's low AQU. Kim probably just smiled 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.520 because it's kind of a funny thing for a president 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:50.919 to say about an opponent, you know, when you know, 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.880 here's a perfect example. Just to step back for a moment, 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.599 they act like this is such a low blow low 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.320 IQ Biden. Can I also say that they were telling 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.159 us not long ago that to call I think it 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.800 was Maxine Waters low IQ, Brucer, Mike wasn't it Wasn't 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.719 it Maxine Waters that he says it's low iq he 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:11.200 used to right, Oh okay, yeah, I'm pretty sure it's 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.800 low iq that he used to. We were told that 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.960 was racist. Well now he calls Joe Biden low iq. 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.919 So do we get to revisit the whole It wasn't 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.440 racist to call Maxine Waters low iq? No, of course not. 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:27.000 They've skipped past that. They the destruction hath been wrought 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.279 by the media, and therefore there's no reason for them 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.719 to look at it again and have any kind of 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:39.359 a conversation about maybe maybe they were wrong. But I 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:45.000 remember in the show The West Wing, which was set 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.800 up really to be an alternative presidency for Libs during 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:51.080 the Bush administration, and that was that was what its 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.080 selling point was. You know that that there was going 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:58.240 to be a a place where Libs could tune in 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.680 and see what a good Democrat president that would really be. 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.520 Like what was his name? His name was like jebedia 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.640 or something or other, Right, the guy who was Bartlett, 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.560 President Bartlett, That's what they used to call him. And 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:15.680 you know he at one point had this supposed open mic. 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.240 People always say hot mic, but that's not the correct terminology. 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.240 President Bartlett in the West Wing had this open mic moment. 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:22.520 I didn't see that much of the show, but I 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:26.640 remember this one where he referred to a guy as 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.760 like a twenty two caliber mine in a three fifty 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.760 seven caliber world. And at the end of the episode, 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.400 the really and that was created all this controversy that 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.440 he'd called the political opponents, essentially called a political opponent stupid, 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.240 and this got called on a mic, and at the 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:40.920 end of the episode it comes out that sure enough, 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.440 the president knew the mic was open, and this was 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.960 a very clever employ to take a swipe at his Oh, 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.440 by the way, Republican opponent. Now you could say, to 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:53.480 mean Buck, that's scripted and who cares, And it's Aaron 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:58.880 Sorkin doing his usual liberal fast talking, too clever by 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.839 half nonsense. And yes, that's all true. But if it 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:06.320 were a Democrat in real life or in fiction calling 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.680 a Republican stupid, nobody would bat an eyelash. Because they 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.080 call Republican stupid all the time. They called Bush stupid. 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.680 I mean they that's one of their favorite knocks on 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.920 prominent Republicans, that they're all just so so dumb. This 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.440 is what they say. But you can't call Biden low. 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.480 I You're You're not allowed to say that. You're not 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:28.600 allowed to point to the fact that this guy is 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.520 somebody who never was able to get a substantial percentage 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.760 of the national voting population, even the Democrat side, to 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:39.120 vote for him. He's really just been an along for 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.040 the ride. You know. He is the quintessential I said before, 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:46.520 a politician, but also really the epitome of the establishment man. 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.040 And he's a He's in the state of Delaware and 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.239 just wants to make sure it keeps getting reelected in Delaware. 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:55.720 I'm sure he brings home all kinds of goodies and 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:59.800 and pork whatever he can for Delaware. And that's it. 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:01.840 What has his record been in the past, A lot 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.960 of a lot of embarrassment, a lot of nonsense, a 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:11.400 lot of missteps. But this is what we're offered instead 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.800 of Trump. This is what we're told we're supposed to 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.000 get excited about it. I just I really, I really 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.920 can't do it, folks. I can't bring myself to accept 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:25.200 this nonsensical position that Joe Biden is the is the 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.480 answer to what ails us. I mean, in this period 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.800 of tremendous Trump to arrangement syndrome. You'd think they could 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:36.560 at least put forward to candidate that normal people could 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:40.959 say is a return to normalcy. But the normalcy that 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:46.720 Joe Biden represents is exactly is what Trump is in 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.280 office to get rid of. We don't want these careers, 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.160 we don't want these lifetime politicians to be in charge 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:59.559 of us. Oh, and then you add things like how 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.320 is doing as president? And this is what we're always told. 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.560 You know, you've got to ignore this, this doesn't really matter, 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:08.280 and who cares? And it matters a lot. Libs going 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.240 into the Obama reelection were constantly having to explain how 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.640 America's best days economically, we're behind it. There really wasn't 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.680 the kind of growth that in the future, that wouldn't 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.360 be the kind of growth that we'd seen in the past. 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:25.640 It was a lot of excuse making for the Obama 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.679 administration having a very slow recovery. And really it was 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:33.280 about a kind of hostility to capitalism. I mean, that's 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:38.760 that's what was a defining characteristic of you know, of 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.920 what Obama was pushing. You know, he was always very 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:45.720 concerned with, you know, redistribution of wealth and with leveling 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:50.599 the playing field based not on the removal of regulations 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:54.840 or anything like that, but by picking picking winners and losers, 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.240 having the government pick winners and losers instead of the market, 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.440 and that had negative consequence. But you have the numbers 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.200 that are out there right now for President Trump are 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.800 very strong. I mean, here's Prime Minister Abbe. You know Trump, 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:13.440 Trump was over there playing golf. I wish I could 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.280 get excited about golf, and so many great people I 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:20.040 know love golf. I don't. I've tried a few times. 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.440 I'm very bad, and I do not understand the appeal. 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.280 And I kind of don't want to understand the appeal 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:30.360 because I feel like I'll be giving away thousands of 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.400 hours of my life to something that maybe is not 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:36.079 the best usage of my time. But anyway, here's what 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.760 Prime Minister Abbe of Japan has said about how things 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.280 are going with President Trump in office. You just remember, 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.960 just a reminder, this is what's really happening versus what 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.439 the Libs are telling this are happening. And that's their 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.120 big pitch for for Biden is trying to convince us 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:57.880 that things are terrible. Here's reality play for Japanese company 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:03.000 investment to the tune of twenty four billion dollars to 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:11.480 the United States, thereby creating forty five thousand new jobs. 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:16.440 Tax reformed that President conducted thanks to that automotive and 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:24.200 image related to Japanese companies are making investment in my Pennsylvania, Michigan, Alabama, 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:29.200 and Kentucky and others. They are mad. They have decided 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:35.559 to make new investments in a short style. Aren'ty here there? 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.600 Through the through the interpreter and the you know, the 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.600 audio is not great, but you're getting the idea. A 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.559 lot of new investment, a lot of new jobs, billions 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:46.600 and billions of dollars. It's not strange for me or 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.680 for you to care more about that than is Trump 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:55.360 being mean to Joe Biden? Is he making fun of 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:59.360 Joe Biden in a way that is unpresidential? Unpresidential for 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:03.120 him to say that. We've had plenty of Republicans who 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.040 were very presidential, who didn't get very much done, who 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.320 weren't able to achieve very much well, weren't able to win, 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.079 first of all, but even if they did win, weren't 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.440 able to enact the kind of policies that they promised 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.120 on the campaign trail. And while it's all well and good, 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.760 and I'm look, I'm a very Some of you who 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.959 have met me know this. I'm very polite by nature. 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.800 I'm a very polite individual. I try to be respectful 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:29.440 and friendly to everyone. I think that everyone should act 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.840 that way. But I also know that there are more 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:36.679 important things than the presidential decorum that some expect when 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:38.760 it comes to how the commander in chief and the 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:43.800 top of the executive branch conducts himself or perhaps herself 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.520 in the future. There are more important things, and Trump 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.840 is executing on those more important things. Brings me to 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.600 the questions over his foreign policy. Got to dive into 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:55.400 some of that. I know North Korea is doing a 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:59.000 little bit of some saber rattling, some missiles fired off. 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.120 That's that's a bit problem matic. Look at kind of 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.200 a grab bag that I focus. I mean, I sort 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:08.280 of wish that there was a major, you know, deep 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.720 state story, or we have something in the declassification had occurred. 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.200 We're going to get into that in June in a 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.120 big way. I know that for sure when they released 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.360 the Inspector General report. You know, today's one of these 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.240 days where we just have a lot of stories to cover. 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.600 Our different stories. So we're going to move through a 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:26.440 bunch of topics and cover some real ground. And the 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.440 Supreme Court case es today some very interesting decisions there 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.000 that I'll want to spend some time on with all 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:36.920 of you. So sit back, relax, and let the freedom 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.480 hunt roll. We'll be right back. I think Biden's busy 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.120 focusing on his campaign messages and doesn't need to respond 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:45.160 to President Trump. But how many desboits are on the 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.920 Trump twenty twenty real elect campaign at this point? Right? 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.600 I mean, you have Kim Jong un criticizing President Trump's 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:55.600 political rivals, you have Vladimir Putin criticizing Democrats. Let's just 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.240 wait for him to say something about Joe Biden. And 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.440 it's all pretty clear why they're doing it. These desbots 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.640 are trying to manipulate President Trump by criticizing his rivals 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:08.000 because they want him in the Oval office from twenty 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.439 twenty onward. He's been pretty good for them. Russia is 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.600 misbehaving globally, Kim Jong UN's making more weapons, making more friends. 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:16.559 I think that Kim Jong un wants to ride the 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.200 Trump train all the way through twenty twenty because it 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.480 is so good for Kim jong Un to have Trump 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.760 in the oval office. That is the dumbest national security 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:29.080 analysis I've heard in a long time. It's a CNN analysis, 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:33.440 not surprising. Everything she said there is false and just stupid. 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:35.680 They keep putting her on air. The why because she 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:42.720 feeds into the Trump derangement syndrome that the audience of 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.680 CNN wants to hear. That's that's all it is. You know, 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:49.000 the CNN audience like a bunch of hamsters. They want 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:50.880 to push a pedal and get anti trumpism, push a 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:56.960 pedal and get anti anti trumpism. That's why some of 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.160 you may have seen in that interview I gave which 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.640 got a bit of play, where I explained why CNN 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.480 has lost its mind and how Trump has broken CNN 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:09.240 and how there's no shortage of wackiness now at CNN 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.760 as a result of Trump's presidency. I mean, they really 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.600 just can't handle him. They don't know what to do, 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:20.960 and their audience has been so thoroughly propagandized against President 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:24.560 Trump that there's no realistic expectation, no one can have 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:28.240 any realistic expectation that the audience could be brought back 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.920 to reality. You know, they would rather hear stuff like this. 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:33.560 I mean, she said, you know, Trump has been good 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.560 for Kim Jong and Kim Jong un? How is that possible? 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.400 CNN national security aliments too. I'd never heard her before 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.960 she's on CNN. How would that be possible? There are 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.600 more sanctions that are more crippling and damaging to North 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:49.160 Korea's economy and specifically targeted at North Korea's nuclear and 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:52.800 missile programs than at any time in history, right now, 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:56.680 more than ever before. So how is that good for 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:04.240 North Korea? The Trump had beenstration is pushing for the 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:09.840 removal by democratic means, but the removal of Maduro by 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:15.440 the GUIDEAU opposition in Venezuela and after Cuba, Russia is 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:19.920 probably the single closest ally that Venezuela has in Russia's 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.800 probably in the number two spot. Is that? Is that 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.520 doing Putin's bidding? I mean, I just would like to 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:30.160 see some of these so called experts explain themselves. You know, 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.680 I wish they were on a network, or the anchors 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:37.960 weren't a bunch of total buffoons, I mean, anti intellectual, incurious, 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:41.520 preening buffoons, because that's what you have at CNN all 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.640 across the board. I wish that they would ask a 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.840 question like the ones that I'm asking. Do you think 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:48.440 that she would have an answer to twenty of this? 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:52.440 You know a lot, there'd be a lot of stumbling, 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:56.400 a lot of a lot of dodging, and you know, Trump, Charlottesville, 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.760 twenty fifth Amendment, Russia collusion. You know, it just would 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:04.679 all all this. It's like argument by automotopia, you know, 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:10.920 just making noises. It's a fun word to say, isn't automotopia? 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.520 But that's what they do. They can engage in the 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:18.520 substance because they don't have sufficient substance to make the case. 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.480 They can't explain their positions. They just want to get 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:27.520 out the talking points that appeal to the pre existing 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:32.439 political prejudices of the left wing audience that watches them. 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:36.600 I'm still in a bit of a rage at watching 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.719 CNN International in my hotel room in Beijing and just 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:43.560 seeing how it was. It's anti I'm telling you the truth. 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:48.960 It's anti American propaganda. That's what the that's what CNN 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.600 was pushing out. We're gonna go to war with Iran, 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.520 We're gonna go to war with North Korea. The president 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:58.000 has broken the law he's lawless, he hates immigrants, all 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.280 these things. This is what they're telling the world. It's 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.760 an embarrassment. CNN's an embarrassment on the world stage. It's 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:12.399 being of embarrassment. Liberal geostrategist In Bremer of a Eurasia Group, 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:14.760 who I will say is more knowledgeable than a lot 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:18.159 of other libs I've I'm familiar with Ian I've a 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:21.080 long time ago actually met Bremer and talked to him 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:25.560 for a while about some geopolitical issues. He is, he's 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.960 a smart little dude. He's little, but he's not a 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.720 He's not an individual of good judgment and does not 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:38.560 understand the big picture. And that I think is a 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.159 pretty good way to set up what happened next. He 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:41.840 got into a whole bunch of hot water. If you 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:43.919 don't know this guy, Ian Bremer, he's the president of 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:49.040 the Eurasia Group, and he tweeted out a quote on 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:53.840 Sunday to President Trump. And this is this is just 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:57.440 a case study in how trumped derangement syndrome both can 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:03.080 instantaneously infect Twitter. And then also you see the media 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:06.880 will self justify what is fake news, or that there 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.600 will be people who will claim, oh, well, even if 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:14.040 it's not true, it rings true to borrow from that 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.960 guy who's the Michael Wolf, the author of Fire and Fury, 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:19.560 isn't no, that's the Fire and Fury is the Fire 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.159 and Fury. I think. So he has a new a 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:24.880 new book out, Siege about Trump. We'll get we'll get 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.600 to that a bit a bit later on. But back 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:31.320 to Ian Bremer here. He tweeted this out and represented 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:37.400 it as a quote from President Trump, and the quote was, well, 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:40.720 what he wrote was President Trump in Tokyo quote Kim 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:44.280 Jong un is smarter and would make a better president 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:50.439 than sleepy Joe Biden. Now this was then shared, and 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.639 it wasn't shared by just a bunch of people that 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.320 you've never heard of. It was shared by Congressman Ted 0:19:56.440 --> 0:20:01.760 Lew of California, noted Trump deranged far left loon. C 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:07.399 Ann contributor Anna Navarro car Danias, who I would note 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:12.600 is among the dumbest people on television. That's you know, 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.520 if it were an IQ contest between her and Joe Biden, 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:19.080 it's it's going to be close. It's gonna be close. 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:21.320 She's among the dumbest analysts on television, and not a 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.280 nice person either for those of you who are curious, 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:27.199 I've worked with her, much to my regret, in the past, 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:32.040 and you know, she shared it and then all of 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:35.000 a sudden it comes out, Oh wait a second, that's fake. 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:39.200 You could even say, you know, say it was fake news. 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:41.520 And then Bremer, who's a lib, pretends not to be. 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:44.040 He pretends to just be a geopolitical strategist and expert. 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:47.600 This is just like journalists. There's always this facade that 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.240 they want to put up of the you know that 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:54.680 that objectivity gives them greater narrative power, meaning they can 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:58.639 create a more potent anti Trump narrative. If they have 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:02.840 this this retense of being objective, they're not partisans. They're 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:04.679 just telling the truth. You know. This is like CNN 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:07.320 with the apples and bananas. You know, we're not an 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:10.000 anti Trump get Trump network. We're just calling We're just 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:13.040 calling balls and stripes, man, We're just doing the truth. No, 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:19.239 they're not. They're absolutely not. It's obviously ridiculous for them 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:24.640 to claim otherwise. But Bremer defended the tweet at first 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:28.800 and said it was obviously ludicrous and yet kind of plausible, 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:32.399 and he wrote, especially on Twitter, where people automatically support 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:36.679 whatever political position they have. That's the point. He eventually 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:40.119 had to apologize. He said, my tweet yesterday about Trump 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:42.879 preferring Kim Jong unto Biden as president was meant in jest. 0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:48.919 I should have been clearer my apologies. Now, you know, 0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:51.840 I don't know why he would you know, I don't 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:55.440 know why he would think that that that's a funny. 0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:59.240 That's a particularly funny joke. You know, I could write 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:05.840 a really stupid thing and pretend that it was Okazu 0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:08.679 Cortez and it could be really, really dumb, unless it 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:12.960 was so blatant that even Okazu Quartez would understand that 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:17.320 it's a joke. You know, you're running the risk of misrepresenting, 0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:22.480 misrepresenting something. And I think that that that is what happened. 0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:26.160 But you know, in a Trump deranged world, particularly among 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:29.840 the elites, people like Bremer who think very We're gonna 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:32.240 talk about somebody who's an establishment guy who thinks very 0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:35.600 highly of himself. Trust me, Ian Bremer's in that category, 0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:42.919 but in that in that milieu, in that strata. And 0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:44.800 I sound like a guy who walks around wearing an 0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:47.359 ascot when I use these words, But those are the 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:49.240 kind of people that will believe the stuff because they 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:53.919 really think that Trump is capable of essentially saying anything 0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:58.800 and anything that will support that belief, anything that will 0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:01.840 go to you know, oh yeah, Trump is in fact 0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:04.760 the worst person ever. They will they will sign on 0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:09.840 for that essentially right away. They don't think through it 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:15.840 beyond that. Now onto the foreign policy challenges right now, 0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:18.399 because they're really going after Trump on this and I 0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:20.600 think it's because of what happened recently in a rom 0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:23.639 but there's also what look, let's let's be let's be 0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:25.680 honest about the whole in the news cycle right now, 0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:31.479 the media has gotten used to having a major story, 0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:33.560 even if they have to concoct it, even if they 0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:37.200 have to re essentially do a retread and go back 0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:39.439 onto what they've already done the past. They're used to 0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:44.000 having some kind of Muller quote unquote bombshell to either 0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:48.199 prereport on, report on, or post report on, meaning we 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:51.040 think this is coming, this has happened. Oh let's talk 0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:53.680 about this thing that happened. That has been the cycle 0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:57.200 of the news meeting, that's really been the beating heart 0:23:57.800 --> 0:24:00.920 of most of the mainstream news outlet. It's for over 0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:03.320 two years now. But in the in a post Muller 0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:07.360 Report world and pre Inspector General Report, there aren't enough 0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:11.240 leaks to sustain them. There aren't enough ways for them 0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:16.280 to write the same story over and over because they 0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:20.440
