1
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Mr garbutsch Off, tear down this wall. Either you're with

2
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: us or you were with the terrorists. If you've got

3
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: healthcare already, then you can keep your plan. If you

4
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: are satisfied with Trunk is not. When the President of

5
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: the United States take it to a bank. Together, we

6
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: will make America great again. It's what you've been waiting

7
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: for all day. Buck Sexton, with America now join the

8
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: conversation called Buck toll free at eight four four nine

9
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: hundred Buck. That's eight four four nine hundred two, eight

10
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: to five, sharp mind, strong voice, Buck Sexton. Big trouble

11
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: in North Korea, the Commander in chief says, that's what's

12
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: that's what will happen if they step out of line. Big,

13
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: big trouble in North Korea. That was just moments before

14
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: I came on air here from the President himself. He's

15
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: at a press conference giving a press conference with Secretary

16
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: State Rex Tillerson, UN Ambassador NICKI Halley, And he's not

17
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: backing down a bit on his rhetoric when it comes

18
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: to North Korea. In fact, he has said that Kim well,

19
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: he said that they're locked and loaded. He said there

20
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: will be fire and fury, and then he said, well,

21
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: we're locked and loaded for North Korea. And then he

22
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: also said that Kim Jong un, if he utters a threat,

23
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: well let me let you hear it from the President himself.

24
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: This man will not get away with what he's doing.

25
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: Believe to me. And if he utters one threat in

26
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: the format of an overt threat, which by the way,

27
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: he has been uttering for years and his family has

28
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: been uttering for years, or if he does anything with

29
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: respect Guam or any place else that's an American territory

30
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: or an American ally, he will truly regret it, and

31
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: he will regret it fast. There you had it, President

32
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: Trump not messing around on this issue. Speaking plainly, I

33
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: don't I don't know what it's going to take for

34
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: the media to seem to get the memo here. But

35
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: when they say that the policy should be any military

36
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: action by North Korea should be met with annihilation, and

37
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: then they complain that Trump is saying fire and fury,

38
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean, at what point is this just in a

39
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: difference of really nothing other than word choice. I think

40
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: that Trump understands that North Korea has been swindling us

41
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: for a long time, swindling the whole world, really, But

42
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: the US and and the nations that have been trying

43
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: to work with us to get this militaristic, hyper jingle

44
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: istic uh ethno nationalist fascist kleptocracy to finally stop being

45
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: so dangerous to its neighbors, to stop its provocative actions,

46
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: and to not build miniaturized or small enough nuclear weapons

47
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: that they can go on top of an intercontinental ballistic

48
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: missile i CEBM. It hasn't been working, so Trump is

49
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: taking a different approach. I know we've been talking about

50
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: it a lot this week. I will also say to

51
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: you that we this is a problem. It needs to

52
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: be addressed, we should be aware of it, but it's

53
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: also not one that we should become paranoid about. Meaning

54
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: I'm seeing people who are real. They're reaching out to me,

55
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: and they seem deeply worried about whether we're about to

56
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: go to war with North Korea. I think the answer

57
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,559
Speaker 1: to that, Look, we could go to war any day

58
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: with any number of countries. We could be hit with

59
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: a first strike by Russia, we could be hit by

60
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: the Chinese. We could you know, I know I sound

61
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: like I'm right in the script for Red Dawn three

62
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: here where I guess there was a remake of red Dawn,

63
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: so it would be read on two. But that's possible,

64
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: and it is possible that we will have a a

65
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: I don't like to say military exchange, but I can't

66
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: think of a better because short of all out war,

67
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what we would call it. But I

68
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: think it's possible that would happen. I think it's very

69
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: very unlikely. Um. I think that that would be a

70
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: shock at this juncture, and we don't need to be

71
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: worried about it, but we need to be vigilant about it.

72
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: We should be serious about this discussion and we should

73
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: be looking at what will happen. I mean, Trump's not

74
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: the only one who's talking talking tough on this issue.

75
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you've got Lindsey Graham out there

76
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: who's also getting in on this action. If we have to,

77
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: we'll go to war. I don't want to, but if

78
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: we have to, we'll go to war. He's not gonna

79
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: stop until somebody makes him stop. If he continues to

80
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: threat in our country, that's the end of him in

81
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: his regime. So yeah, the credible threat of force, which

82
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: is what so much of our diplomacy is based on,

83
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: means just that that if somebody does something that we

84
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: think is a threat to our national security, they come

85
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: after us, We're going to crush them. That's why we

86
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: have this military that we have. That's that's what the

87
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: what is its six billion dollar a year Pentagon budget.

88
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: I mean that this is what we're this is what

89
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: we are prepared for. If somebody threatens us, if somebody

90
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: threatens the United States, the security of its citizens, the

91
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: security of this nation, We're going to crush them. This

92
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: is this is not uh something that should all of

93
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: a sudden shock the left, and as I have to say,

94
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: when you look at how angry they've been for many

95
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: months now about Russia and how willing they are to

96
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: which Russia, by the way, has a much more serious

97
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: military with a much greater UH nuclear capability than anything

98
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: North Korea has got, as well as who knows is

99
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: what else the Russians have stashed away in terms of

100
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: you know, W M D or whatever. Who knows. Russia's

101
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: got so much more military might and pack so much

102
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: more of a punch and has invaded countries. In fact,

103
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: I will have someone joining us later on in the

104
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: show today who is out there covering on the front

105
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: lines A stealth invasion of Ukraine by Russia. But Russia

106
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: is so much more of a true military threat. And

107
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: yet the Democrats basically want Donald Trump to show up,

108
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: take off his glove, slap pooting across the face, and

109
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: challenge him to a duel or something. I mean, it's

110
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: just insane. It's insane what they're suggesting. They just want

111
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: so much of a uh, they want so much anger

112
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 1: and and frustration to be directed towards Russia, and nothing

113
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: constructive can be done there at all. And now when

114
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: Trump is actually trying to stare down North Korea, they're like,

115
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, North Korea, what's he doing? This is crazy. Well,

116
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: you guys talk a huge game about how he needs

117
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: to be getting aggressive when it comes to Russia, and

118
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: now he's trying to actually be aggressive with the threat

119
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: of North Korea. I mean, which is it. Are the

120
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: Democrats in favor of constructive dialogue? Are they in favor

121
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: of talking tough and drawing red lines? You know, it

122
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: all depends on the politics, obviously. So this is where

123
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: we are. Now. We've got North Korea, the US looking

124
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: at each other, staring at each other across the d

125
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:36,559
Speaker 1: MZ literally and figuratively, and people are worried about Guam.

126
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's a concern that needs to

127
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: keep anyone listening to this show up at night. Those

128
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: of you who may be listening on the island of

129
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: Guama think you're gonna be just fine. And that's because

130
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: as crazy as North Korea maybe, or as its leadership maybe, uh,

131
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: they must know that there would be an immediate demand

132
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: from the American people for h A, a counter strike

133
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: at North Caorea, for any assault on US forces anywhere,

134
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: that would be a truly um awe inspiring site. So

135
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: I don't think that they have any illusions about that.

136
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're up to speed on it. I don't

137
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: think we're going to war with North Korea. I know

138
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: that you know that you have to always keep in

139
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: mind that there's the demands of the news cycle. Like

140
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: I've been telling you, it's it's August, right, so Congress

141
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: is on vacation. You're getting even more focused on this

142
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: issue than you would otherwise because there's not the political

143
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: horse race and the back and forth of the Beltway

144
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: insiders to keep us thinking about other things. So right

145
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: now there's all this focus on North Korea, and that

146
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: means that people are think getting a little ahead of

147
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: where this really is in terms of the likelihood of conflict.

148
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not concerned that we're about to get

149
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: hit by North Korea, and I do not think we're

150
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: about to hit North Korea. UM, but we do need

151
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: to look at what's happening and understand that this is

152
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: a problem that is going to It is just going

153
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: to get worse. It is not going to get better

154
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: unless action is taken. I think the Trump administration has

155
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: some sense of that. The media, of course, is trying

156
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: to find ways to turn this into Trump is the problem. Well,

157
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: it's amazing, we're under you know that we got we

158
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: got a guy with nuclear missiles, who is or you know,

159
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: reportedly with the ability to fire nucle nuclear missiles and

160
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. You know, who knows what the

161
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: truth is at this point, but he certainly has missiles,

162
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: certainly has nukes, and he's threatening a you he's threatening

163
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: US territory. And you get the media focused on how

164
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: Trump is the problem? Right, How how Trump is the issue? Um.

165
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: Then we get to the panel over there on what

166
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: is this? Oh yeah, MSNBC, they say that Trump is irrational,

167
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: like Kim drawing on. I mean, you can't make this

168
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: stuff up. Everybody's you know, it's disturbing. Apart from the

169
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: fact that he seems to have borrowed the North Korean

170
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: speech writers, now nobody knows what he means, and that

171
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: means we can have a terrible nuclear potential nake. You're

172
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: also dealing with a very emotional leader when he's offended,

173
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: are you talking about Well, that's my second point, that's

174
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: and so that's that's the dangerous thing here is that

175
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: you have two very emotional leaders, dare I say borderline irrational,

176
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: and they both have their their thumb on the nuclear button.

177
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: And just just take a step back here from what

178
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: you have people who are paid to go on TV

179
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: allegedly because they're informed and smart. But at MSNBC they

180
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: should they should, you know, people should demand their money back.

181
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: But the people are going on allegedly because they know something.

182
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: And people also at CNN that I've been talking about

183
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: North Korea. It's it's just shocking. Who will allow to

184
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: go on TV to talk about this stuff? Um, But

185
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: then again, I mean at CNN sometimes I would get

186
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: you know, I would get silenced by the host, so

187
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: that I can get a lecture in Afghanistan from somebody

188
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: who would never in there, unlike me, never served there,

189
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: unlike me, doesn't know a name of the country unlike me,

190
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: and probably couldn't even tell you off the top of

191
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: his or her head where the capital is, or or

192
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: named named two provinces of Afghanistan before you lecture me

193
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. That would be the fun game to play

194
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: at CNN because most of the people would have failed it.

195
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: So uh, you've got MSNBC, though, Equating the temperament of

196
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: the leader of North Korea, who had his brother recently

197
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: assassinated abroad, who presides over prison camps, death camps, and

198
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: executions for the crime of owning a Bible. You can

199
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: be executed for owning a Bible. And they're comparing those

200
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: two people. How do they expect us to think they

201
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: have any credibility on anything else? What does it say

202
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: about the cable news media all but one channel right

203
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: now that you can go on TV and say that

204
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: and not lose all credibility in the eyes of the

205
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: audience and in the eyes of the network that's puts

206
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: you on. This is why and Trump says fake news.

207
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: People cheered. This is why when he says fake news,

208
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, that's right, it is fake news. He's right. Um.

209
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: And then wait, you have another one, another one of

210
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: these things. The people that are even willing to praise

211
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: that's in some way or or at least point out

212
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: that North Korea is being defiant. The North Korean regime

213
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: responding to President Trump's chilling warning, calling the president s nile,

214
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: saying he was cooped up at the golf course and

215
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: was clueless about how things are developing from North Korea

216
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: the latest show of defiance, chanting ritual hatred of America

217
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: a defiant rebuke by North Korea in a statement calling

218
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: President Trump's recent comments a load of nonsense, saying the

219
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: president is a guy bereft of reason. The General called

220
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: the President's fire and fairy warning a load of nonsense.

221
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: North Korea is showing further defiance to the United States.

222
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: Thousands of people hit the streets yesterday to protest. North

223
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: Korea is now using President Trump's fire and fury comments

224
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: as well as those new U n sanctions to rally

225
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: its own people. Let me just say what you already know.

226
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: Let's all just discuss the little secret here, which is

227
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: somewhat astonishing. The media overall and overwhelmingly agrees with North

228
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: Korea about President Trump. That's what you really pick up

229
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: when you hear the way they talk about this, the

230
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: raft of reason. You can see a lot of people

231
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 1: in newsrooms are like, Wow, this this Kim Jong d

232
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: he makes a lot of sense. Yeah, Donald Trump is

233
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: bereft of reason. Yeah, I mean you can tell that.

234
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: First of all, they're making comparisons, as I played for

235
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: you before, between the temperament of these two leaders, and

236
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: they agree with what Kim Jong un says about Donald Trump.

237
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: Do they agree? They just they do. You can tell

238
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: by the way that they set up there, by the

239
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: way they set up their segments, and by the uh

240
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: the words they use, the editorial lines they take. They

241
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: agree with Kim Jong about Donald Trump. They can't help themselves.

242
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: I think that's instructive. I think that's worth us noting

243
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: for a moment. But back to what really does matter here.

244
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: You'll see you'll see so much of the policing of

245
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: tone and so much parsing of every word that Donald

246
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: Trump says, Locked and loaded, fire and fury, big trouble,

247
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: in North Korea, which is what Donald Trump just said

248
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: in the press conference before I came on, which of

249
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: course reminds me of one of my favorite movies. The

250
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: title of one of my favorite movies, very posture and

251
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: any not that we're aware of. As much as they

252
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: can get all upset about it, the media can freak out,

253
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: policy hasn't changed, and in fact, on a policy level,

254
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: Trump has done more to bring pressure on North Korea

255
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: by by this latest round of sanctions disagreement that involves

256
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: Russia and China then the Obama administration did in eight years.

257
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: So what do we care about, you know, Trump, Trump's bluster,

258
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: Trump said this, he said that, Or what are the results?

259
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: What makes us safer? What makes for a better policy.

260
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: I think every Trump voter out there, and I think

261
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: a lot of Republicans, and I think anybody's trying to

262
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: be fair minded about it, would say that so far

263
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: Trump has shown more adept handling of North Korea based

264
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: on the results, than anything Obama and his team of

265
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: so called geniuses were able to pull together in eight years.

266
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: And I think this is a version of what we're

267
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: seeing play out across the board of the Trump administration.

268
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: They don't like what he says, they don't like how

269
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: he says it. They don't like him, they don't like

270
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: the way he dresses, they don't like his wife, they

271
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: don't like his family. That all this stuff. Meanwhile, stock

272
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: market is absolutely kicking, but jobs are good, economy is

273
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: doing well, Immigration policy makes sense. He's holding Mitch McConnell

274
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: to account, hoping that. You know, you look at the Ledger,

275
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: you look at what's getting on, what's getting done here

276
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: brings in Kelly to clean up the White House, and

277
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good stuff happening. But you won't

278
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: hear about that at all. All you hear about it

279
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: all Trump he's so crazy, He's crazy like Kim Jong on.

280
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just that's irresponsible to say. It's just irresponsible.

281
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: All right, Um, well, come, we got a lot and

282
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: I haven't even set up the rest of the show.

283
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: I told you we've got somebody joining us from from Ukraine.

284
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: Later on in the show, I'll be calling in tell

285
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: us about that conflicted very interesting stuff going on there.

286

Speaker 1: We'll talk about the Google memo to fall out from

287
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: that more on. Uh, well, I gotta go in to

Speaker 1: just decided, I'm you know what, I'm just gonna share

308
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: my my top five action movies. So I did, and

309
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: here they are in in order, which I know this

310
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: is a little controversial but this is what I posted

311
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: on Facebook. Action movies ranked number one, die Hard, number two, Terminator,

312
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: number three, Predator, number four, Aliens, and number five Under Siege.

313
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: Now I look at this list and I realized as

314
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: I read that out loud, there's a mistake. I should

315
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: have put the Matrix in the UH in the number

316
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: four slot, Aliens at number five, and under Siege. I

317
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: don't think should have made the top five. So I

318
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: I will give you that correction. But here's what I

319
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: want to know from you. You can call in with

320
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: either your top five, your top three, or number one

321
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: action movie of all time. I'm just wondering what or

322
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: if you disagree with my list, what would you have

323
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: put on there? Um And we have shortly, I believe,

324
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: joining us. Ben Shapiro of The Daily Wire, the Ben

325
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: Shapiro Show, various books, columns column at National Review, and

326
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: he tweeted out that he thinks that The Fugitive should

327
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: be on the list. Now, I agree that The Fugitive

328
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: is a fantastic movie, but I put The Fugitive in

329
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: the UH. The drama suspense part of the video rental genre,

330
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: you know it used to break it down a blockbuster

331
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: that way. I don't think The Fugitive technically qualifies as

332
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: an action movie, but I'm open. I'm open to persuasion

333
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: on that one. But we should have ben Joy here

334
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: in just a few minutes. If we assume we can

335
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: get him on the line. It's he's out in California

336
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: doing his things, probably you know, getting ready to do

337
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: battle with anti fuss somewhere. But and then we'll talk

338
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: more about the Google firing and all kinds of fun stuff. Team.

339
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: I have a very fun shoal plan. But eight four

340
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: four nine hundred buck for those action movie ideas, eight

341
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: four four nine to eight to five call in. He's

342
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: back with you now, because when it comes to the

343
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Because you mean

344
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: by military solutions are locked and loaded. As it relates

345
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: to North Korea, I think it's pretty So we are

346
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: looking at that very carefully, and I hope that they

347
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: are going to fully understand the gravity of what I said.

348
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: And what I said is what I mean. What do

349
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 1: you say you were created say rhetoric is actually raising attention? Well,

350
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: you don't critics so lonely saying that because it's me.

351
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: If somebody else uttered the exact same words that I

352
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: undered and say, what a great statement, what a wonderful statement.

353
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: What I said is what I mean is what he said.

354
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: All right, there we have the president, he just gave

355
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: a press conference before. What do we think about the

356
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: week that the president has just had? And also the

357
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: back and forth with Mitch McConnell. We got Ben Shapiro

358
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: joining everybody. He is editor in chief of Daily Wire

359
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: dot Com syndicated, colmis host of The Ben Shapiro Show. Ben,

360
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: thanks so much for calling us. Sure, thanks for happing. Um.

361
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: Can we start actually with with just your your sense

362
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: of how the media is treating Trump's statements on North

363
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: Korea versus what the you know what Trump just said there?

364
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think do you think he's got

365
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: a point? Yeah? I do. I think he's absolutely correct.

366
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean President Obama said that we would destroy North

367
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,239
Speaker 1: Korea if they ever tried to attack to us using

368
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. President Clinton said the same thing, George W.

369
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: Said the same thing. Like this has been a concert

370
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: refrain from presidents after president that if you fire something

371
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: about will finish you. Uh so that's that's not unusual,

372
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: you know that said that, Trump obviously enjoy the com

373
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: purple rhetoric. Of course he does. So I think it

374
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: makes a large difference on the international scene. I really don't,

375
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: and I think the media have an agenda here to

376
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: make Trump look crazy when there's really nothing particularly crazy

377
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: going on. Like I keep saying to everybody, calm down, Okay,

378
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: North Korea doesn't want to fire anything because we'll finish them,

379
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: and we don't want any fire. We don't want to

380
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: fire anything in the North Korea. We don't want North

381
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: Korea destroying Soul or at least killing hundreds of thousands

382
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: of people in Soul. So you know, the the chances

383
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: that this ends in some sort of conflagration are extraordinarily low. Yeah,

384
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: I don't think that Trump's rhetoric is anything out of

385
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: the box. So I think that it's because like I

386
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: totally agree. But can I just point out that, you know,

387
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: Susan Rice running off at the New York Times earlier

388
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: this week, where she was saying, you know, people could

389
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: understand why given the words coming out of pyeong Yang

390
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: and New Jersey, tensions are so high. Later on in

391
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: her editorial or whoever wrote it under her bilin Uh,

392
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: she she says that, well, if North Korea steps out along,

393
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna annihilate them. I mean that really is now

394
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: just parsing. When you're saying you're going to annihilate a

395
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: country if it something you don't like, saying fire and

396
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,959
Speaker 1: fury is really no different. Yeah, I mean, I appreciate deliteration,

397
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the sort of Game of Thrones imagery

398
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: of the fire and fury. And he's gonna write dragon

399
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: over to the North Korean side and set them all aflame.

400
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: But that said, you know, I'm not super worried about

401
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: any of this. The only part of from rhetoric that

402
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: I wish that he would ran in a little bit

403
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: is he said this morning, for example, that if Kim

404
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: Jong oon makes any threats, then we'll then he'll he'll

405
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: pay for a really really fast. Well, I mean, Kim

406
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: is gonna continue making threats. He's never gonna stop making threats.

407
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 1: They've been making continue his threats for sixty years. So

408
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna make a threat, if its

409
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: president is gonna make a threat, it should be a

410
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 1: incredible threat. We're not gonna new North Korea, nor should we.

411
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: If Kim jongan says something dumb, because Kim Jongan says dumb,

412
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: threatening things all the time and that's how he gets

413
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: concessions out of the West. So um, you know, I

414
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: don't like drawing red lines that aren't actually redlines. But

415
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: aside from that, you know, trunking mouth off as much

416
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: as he wants about how tough and big and strong

417
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: we are, because bottom line is we are that tough

418
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: and big and strong, and if they do try anything,

419
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: we will turn you know, we will blow them forward

420
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: into the Stone Age. About on the Mitch McConnell Trump

421
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: uh spat as it played out this week, this is

422
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: another place where I gotta say, I'm I mean, look

423
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: when when he brought Scaramucci and I'm like, I don't

424
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: know what to say. Everybody, this is a this is

425
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: a disastrous, bad idea, And to turn out that was

426
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: the case, right, And it was fun to talk about

427
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: the mooch. And I saw Good Fellows a couple of

428
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: days agoes on TV and I'm like, wow, the mooch

429
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: really does have a have a certain way about him.

430
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: But this with Trump and McConnell, people are saying he's

431
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: being unfair. I'm like, how is it unfair? For the

432
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: President to say that the head of the or the

433
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: you know, the the guy who's in charge of the

434
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,719
Speaker 1: Republican majority in the Senate can't get anything done. And

435
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 1: that's a problem to me, that's pretty obvious. I'm with

436
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: Trump on that one too. Yeah, I am too. I

437
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: think that his criticisms of Mitch McConnell are totally in line. Um,

438
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, and now that there's a difference between is

439
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: he right and is it smart? Right? Is he right? Yeah?

440
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: He is. McConnell has been ineffective. Is it's smart to

441
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: go after your own Senate majority leader publicly without offering

442
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: any sort of either rot or stick in order to

443
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 1: get anything done, mean anything? When at the same time

444
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: that he's, you know, complaining about all of this, he's

445
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 1: also suggesting that he's gonna support Luther Strange in Alabama,

446
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: who's McConnell. Ally. This is my biggest problem with President

447
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: Trump as far as sort of his threats to members

448
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: of the Republican Party. He seems to be a more

449
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 1: angry at McConnell, not for his policy failures and more

450
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: for the fact that McConnell's sort of dinged him in

451
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: this little in this little Q and A that he

452
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: was doing back in Kentucky. So if you were, if

453
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: you're angry a him because he's not getting his policies passed,

454
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: I'd be all for it. But I think that Trump

455
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: is more angry at him on personal issues, and the

456
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: way that manifests could actually be kind of negative for

457
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: conservatives because you could see a world where Trump says, well,

458
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: McConnell's not doing the job, that Republicans aren't doing the job.

459
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: You know who might work with me, This guy Chucks

460
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: Stromer over here on something like infrastructure, and you see

461
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 1: him walk across the aisle, So you know, well, I

462
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: agree with Trump's critique of McConnell. I don't think that

463
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: number one, it's useful because I don't think that it's

464
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: gonna make McConnell do anything mcconald doesn't want to do.

465
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: And number two, I don't know what it. What it

466
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, kind of votes for Trump's future behavior. I

467
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: don't know that it necessarily means that he moves to

468
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: the right or even attempts to place McConnell and move

469
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: against McConnell in the right wing way. What are conservatives

470
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: of of good faith and patience in this country supposed

471
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: to think about the Republican Party right now when it

472
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: is true what Trump said just before I came on

473
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: air here and before you called in at a press conference.

474
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: But they had seven years with Obamacare, and when when

475
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: the when the hour was upon us, they failed. What

476
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: are we supposed to think? What do you tell? People

477
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 1: may ask you. I mean the Republican Party sareble at

478
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: his job. That's all you can say. You know, the

479
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: party is very fragmented. And this is why, you know,

480
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: I can put it on Mitch McConnell in large part

481
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: and speak O Ryan in large part. But the trip

482
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: is the way the system works that the president he

483
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: is supposed to work on this stuff night and day,

484
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: helping to push things over the finish line. And there

485
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: I have less sympathy for President Trump. You know. I

486
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: think that President Trump's involvement in the healthcare bill and

487
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: pushing it and crafting it was minimal. With us. He

488
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: fired off a couple of tweeks, he made a couple

489
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: of statements publicly in speeches, and then he spent the

490
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: last two weeks right before the healthcare vote ripping into

491
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: his own toney coeneral so you know, while I, while

492
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 1: I agree with his critique of McConnell, I don't think

493
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: that Trump has clean hands in the let's push for

494
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: appeal in a place game. I don't think it was

495
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: like Trump was was pushing as hard as he possibly

496
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: could and working night and day to make sure this

497
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: got done. It seemed more like Trump expected sort of

498
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,719
Speaker 1: what Rover North was suggested, which is it Congress will

499
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: passed up, put it on the deskontel side it. Well,

500
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: that's true in the old constitutional sense, but it's not

501
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: particularly true in the modern political sense, where the president

502
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: is the leader of his party and really has to

503
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 1: be the driving force behind legislation that gets passed. We're

504
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: speaking of Ben Shapiro, who's editing editor in chief of

505
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: Delhi wire dot com. Ben, you spoke to what James

506
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: daymore right, the guy who got fired from Google? Yes, yeah,

507
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: what were some of the what were some of the

508
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: takeaways from your conversation? And and I also just want

509
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: to get your senses to whether you think has Google

510
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: created such a giant self inflicted dumpster fire and Silicon

511
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: Valley that things might change or they just going to

512
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: continue with business as usual. I mean I think they're

513
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: hoping that it blows over, and I guess that they're

514
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: going to continue with business as usual in the monster

515
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: in the market. It's gonna be hard to topple them.

516
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: There're no near competitors, you know. That said, I do

517
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: think that there is an awakening that's happening where people

518
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: are looking at YouTube and well another major tech companies

519
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: and seeing themselves there's some political bias here. These are

520
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: these are not you know, objective sources of search results.

521
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: For example, and I had somebody email me today that

522
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: when they searched the FTSCU top hundred CEOs, it was

523
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: all women's pictures that came up. At Google. There are

524
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: only seven women in the top hundred ft sc CEO.

525
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: So there there are some bias search results that come

526
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: through Google's algorithms, and that those accusations have been around

527
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: for for a long time. People being made aware of

528
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: that is definitely a good thing. It's also indicative of

529
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: the level of censorship that in that really flourishes in

530
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: left left wing bubbles like Hollywood or the media, or

531
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: or in the or in the tech community. Because that

532
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: that memo from James to Moore is one or more

533
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: mild memos I've ever read regarding the gender gap. I mean,

534
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: it really is not inflammatory in any way. It has

535
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: a page and a half dedicated to offering solution and

536
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: to help close the gender gap by making jobs more

537
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: palatable to women who may want to spend time with family,

538
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: for example. And you got ripped up in down for

539
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: it anyway, which just demonstrates that the if the orthodoxy

540
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: is varied from in any way, then the heretics must

541
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: be punished and right on, que I saw at least Enslade,

542
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: And I'm guessing you probably just came across your radar too.

543
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: They start have they started having scientists writing pieces about

544
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: how well science doesn't really settle questions like this necessarily,

545
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: that the science is not settled on this, and they go,

546
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: oh wait, I thought science was the answer to all

547
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: of our major sociological and other issues. You're telling me

548
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: that science sometimes is open to debate and discussion. Science

549
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: is imperfect. There was one in slate Um that was

550
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: saying that the science here was being misused or abused. Yep.

551
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that one of the fascinating things

552
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: about the left right now is that the left, which

553
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: proclaimed itself the Party of Science have now decided that

554
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: science is no longer of consequence if it conflicts with

555
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: their agenda. So the science suggests that women have less

556
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: of a preference for going into stem, into the science, technology, engineering, math,

557
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: then that science has to be discarded in favor of

558
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: the politically correct version of the leftist agenda. And the

559
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: same thing is through trans gender is m. The same

560
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: thing is for an abortion. Science takes a backseat to

561
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: the political agenda for the left. And I think that's

562
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: becoming clearer and clearer by the way Chelsea Manning on

563
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: the cover of Vogue. I talked about it yesterday. Or

564
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: they've they've taken photos that we've already seen the league photos.

565
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: Are we approaching a period here soon, ben where heterosexual

566
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: males who will not espouse their attraction to uh trans know,

567
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: trans sexual males who say they are female, that that's

568
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: going to be considered bigoted because I see that coming.

569
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean there there are already a few

570
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: people who are saying this, like Riley Dennis is a

571
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: transgender woman, says a man who says a woman, uh,

572
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: And and he's been saying that he's been he's been

573
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: out there saying, if you're not attracted to transgender individuals,

574
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,479
Speaker 1: then that is because you have been biased, you are sexist. Uh,

575
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: it's it's society that has made it this way. That's

576
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: which I responded, No, actually was sort of evolution that

577
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: made us this way. Like if people were to have

578
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: sex with with people who are of the same sex,

579
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,239
Speaker 1: but I thought they were of a different sex, than

580
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: the species would end pretty quickly. I mean, it turns

581
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: out that evolution has something to say about sexual attraction

582
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: and the number of people and the kinds of people

583
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: with whom we with whom we procreate. Ben, where are

584
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: you on bending the knee on pronoun usage? Do you do?

585
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: You do you refuse to to go along with this?

586
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: Because now it's now we're being told it's a matter

587
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: of being polite, and I am sometimes probably too polite,

588
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: and I worry that I'm gonna get drawn into this. Now.

589
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: You you still, if you're a biological male, you still

590
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: go he in the workplace, in social settings all the time.

591
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: Is that right? Yes, that's right. I mean, I mean

592
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: it's it's one thing for for you to want me

593
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: to treat with politeness, is another thing for you to

594
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: demand that I engage in in what is the solution

595
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: you are You're not of a particular sex just because

596
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: you say you're a particular sex, And it is not

597
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: my obligation to change objective science in order to be

598
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: polite to you. That's just not something that that I'm

599
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,719
Speaker 1: willing to do. And I don't think the entire society

600
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: got to engage in that either, especially because there are

601
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: some actual downsides to this, including the radical rise of

602
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: parents who think that kids who are gender confused at

603
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: age two and three are obviously transgender and therefore need

604
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: to be treated as members of the opposite sex transition

605
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: hormone blocked. You know this, this, this sort of sexual

606
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: confusion is not uncommon in kids. It's the job of

607
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: parents to guide them into into, you know, consonants with

608
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: their actual genetic sex, if that's at all possible. And

609
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't There a story earlier this week then about

610
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: a transgender camp for kids. I didn't get a chest

611
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: to talk to them the show. I saw the headline.

612
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: What was that, Yes, there's a transgender camp for kids.

613
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: It's in San Francisco, like sixty kids, and that they

614
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: encourage kids to be gender fluid and They encourage kids

615
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: to to engage in in the fantasy that they are

616
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 1: members of the opposite sex, and they treat them as

617
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: members of the opposite sextive things, So choose uh. It

618
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: said in the article that the kids can actually choose

619
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: a different sex every day if they if they want to.

620
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: That is not only an abdication of parental responsibility. Is

621
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: the destruction of children. It's the destruction of children's innocence.

622
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: This is not something that children should be left alone

623
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: to pursue. I have two kids under the age four.

624
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: I think it's not only a great just parenting. I

625
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,479
Speaker 1: think you're doing a great harm and evil to your

626
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: child if you if you follow the kid's advice on anything.

627
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: You wouldn't let your kid eat only candy. You wouldn't

628
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,959
Speaker 1: let your kid not do their homework. You shouldn't lat

629
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: it a four year old decide what sex the kid is.

630
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: The kid hasn't even hit puberty and won't do so

631
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,720

Speaker 1: eight four four nine Buck eight four four n eight

643
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: to five. We have uh Patty in Mississippi on w

644
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: b V. Hey Patty, Hey Buck. Hey, Um, I love

645
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: Ben Shapiro, his awesome. Um, but you know you're talking

646
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: about Chelsea Manning and the whole thing, with this whole

647
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: transgender deal, and and they probably are going to be

648
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: going down that road of you know, if the guys

649
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: are not attracted to a transgender woman, there's you know,

650
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: he's a problem. Um, but I think it's it's you know,

651
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: I'd like to look at the the kind of like

652
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: the macro level of all this, because this is definitely

653
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: a concerted effort by the left. When you have okay,

654
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: there are no gender differences, whether it's between man and woman,

655
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: between his transgenders or whatnot. You know, there are no

656
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: difference between people, you know, whatsoever, and unless you get

657
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: to like the guy you had on the other day

658
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: with the affirmative action, you know, where you have the

659
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: Asian population that are being discriminated against, you know, because

660
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: they actually do really well, you know, in school and

661
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: on test. But I think this, you know, this whole

662
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: thing is you know, just you know, by the left

663
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: in general, is just to undermine universal truth, you know,

664
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: to undermine the societabal norms that we have and basically

665
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: breaking all that down and trying to you know, to

666
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: what they say, the level of the playing field in

667
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: a way to kind of like something really offtening the ground,

668
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: you know, for the encroachment of socialism and ultimately communism.

669
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: I'm with you, and I think at the end we're

670
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:26,959
Speaker 1: going to you know, I mean it's I mean, okay, yeah,

671
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: I just don't want to get too far ahead of

672
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: but your your your point about undermining universal truth. I

673
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: mean that is really the if you were to try

674
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: to distill, if you were to try to uh take

675
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: the unadulterated essence of progressive ism. I think that's really

676
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: what it is. Because more moral relativism is the creed.

677
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: If you can say, there's such a thing of progressivism,

678
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: and so it's just a question of what the argument

679
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: is today, What power I can use now, what power

680
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: I can acquire tomorrow? And there are no universal truths,

681
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: there are no um, there is no natural law, and

682
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: therefore anything is permissible, right, I mean, this is everything

683
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: is permissible, and all guidance comes from the state, because

684
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: the state of the state just becomes a manifestation of

685
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,479
Speaker 1: the ideology, right because there's no God, there's no individual rights,

686
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: there's just whatever. There's just power on the moment and

687
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: exactly that this, you know, because this has all been

688
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: brewing up, you know since you know, probably the prior

689
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: to the sixties, when the whole infiltration of the university

690
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: system and the education system in general with the Department

691
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: of Education to you know, kind of this widespread thing.

692
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: I actually my degrees in elementary ad and you know,

693
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: I could see it all through school, just just the

694
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: warning in of all this, you know, the multiculturalism and

695
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: just just everything about it, you know, is you know,

696
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: is leaning and sending everybody towards you know, more socialism,

697
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: and and a lot of people are aren't willing, they

698
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: don't want to accept it. But it's it's what's happened

699
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: and a yeah, well, I mean, the the socialists in

700
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: this country. There was the American Communist Party and there

701
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: were a lot of open socialists and and there's this

702
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: this gap in the history we're taught in schools because

703
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: the assumption is that it just sort of went away

704
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: and then we had Democrats and Republicans and they kind

705
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: of want the same things. I mean, the the socialist

706
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: impulse was just ingested by the Democrat Party, and that's

707
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: why you now have these progressive leftists and that I mean,

708
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: you've got you know, Bertie Sanders, a democratic socialist, right,

709
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 1: so this is now becoming more obvious than ever before.

710
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: But those who would have been socialists in this country

711
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: in the nine twenties and nineteen thirties, they're just Democrats today.

712
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: So they're just part of a different party. But Patty,

713
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: great call shieldside, thank you for calling in from Mississippi's

714

719
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: want to call in, We've got a bunch of other lines.

720
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: Let we'll get to those calls in just a moment.

721
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: I'll give you some thoughts on a little more of

722
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: the the hot takes on the Google memo firing that

723
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: was a big story obviously this week, but also the

724
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: New York Times asks a real question, what is a

725
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: bigger threat and maybe i'll address us together side of

726
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: break a bigger threat to Guam which is now being

727
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: threatened by a madman with missiles and nukes, uh, North Korea?

728
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: Or climate change? This is a game that you could

729
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: play now, and it's very tough to know where Democrats,

730
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: you know what is more likely you will uh, you know,

731
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: die of one of the three major diseases that kill

732
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: people in old age or climate change? I mean, you know,

733
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: you start to play the numbers on this, with the statistics,

734
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: and I don't know what democrats think. You know what's

735
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: more dangerous to you, uh, you know, slipping in the

736
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: bathtub or climate change? Because for Guam, apparently even though

737
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: it's being threatened by a mad man of North Korea

738
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: with missiles that can go very very far. Oh, it's

739
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: climate change. Welcome Mac team. Buck lines are lit here

740

760
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: segment last night about alcoholism, and it was very poignant

761
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: and I'm not even to get into my x and

762
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: just mirrored kind of what you said. But I've reevaluated

763
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: uh everything about my life with with my child and drinking.

764
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,359

766
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: and so I speak to you as such. And I

767
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: just I just feel like I I thought that I

768
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: was Look. I mean, I'm a I'm a former CIA officer.

769
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: I've done all this training. I think I know a

770
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: lot of stuff, and it it snuck up on me

771
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: and and kicked me right in the face and it was,

772
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, wow. So I hope people that I hope

773
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: people have a chance to listen to it last night

774
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: because it's not what people think it is. It's not

775
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: some you know, old grouchy guy slouched over a bar

776
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: at ten am drinking a bottle of Scotch. It's much more,

777
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: which I am, which I am, but I understand, yes, yeah,

778
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: but you know what I'm saying. It's it's much more,

779
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: and sid it's much more, and in cities, in many cases,

780
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: in that but anyway, sorry, so you were saying, go ahead, no, no, no,

781
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, and I appreciate it. And you know

782
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: they say for every one person that calls, there's tim

783
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: that that won't call. So I'm sure there are many

784
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: people out there that appreciated. Having said that, I've got

785
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: to take issue with your movie list man, Come on,

786
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,959
Speaker 1: your showing your age now. You said that I didn't

787
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: even rent videos, but you said there are different categories,

788
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: kind of like a library. Yeah, well you remember, you

789
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: remember back in the old days, like the nineties, you know,

790
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: when people used to ride around on horses and the

791
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: telegraph wire and stuff. You know, but you remember like Blockbuster,

792
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: Blockbuster Video or your local I mean even before Blockbuster,

793
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: there were just local video rental places and that was

794
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: a successful business. And they usually not every but they

795
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: usually had a broken down into you know, there was

796
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: the horror section, action section, foreign films. Come on, who

797
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: really went into that section? But you know that those

798
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: were different sections, and I just feel like that's if

799
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna talk action movie, we had to watch them. Sorry,

800
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: what do you say the girlfriends went into foreign films

801
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: and we were stuck watching them. Yeah, And we gotta say, oh, yeah,

802
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: it was so romantic. I love how that French ending.

803
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: There's really no ending. But yeah, anyway, we'll let me

804
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: get to my point if I'm yes, sir, because I'm

805
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: sure time is valuable to all of us anyway. Action films,

806
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: if that's what the label's gonna be. Come on, man,

807
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: Apocalypse now? How many out there listening to us right now?

808
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,959
Speaker 1: We're saying yes, Apocalypse, Full Metal Jacket and Platoon? How

809
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: could you not? I will I will give you Apocalypse now.

810
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: I will give you Apocalypse now. Is a fantastic film.

811
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: But I think of that more as a war film

812
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: than an action film. See, I think that there are

813
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: different genres, like I don't I think that, uh, you know,

814
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: Saving Private Ryan and uh, The Thin Red Line. These

815
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: are great movies, but those are those are war films.

816
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: Those are not necessarily action movies. Like those are trying

817
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: to show the reality, ease of of combat and warfare

818
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: and telling those stories. They're not guys smoking cigars with

819
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: one liners, running around shirtless, firing m sixties in each hand.

820
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's that's action movies. It's different.

821
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: But I'm parsonally I agree on Parsley. You know, Ben

822
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: Ben Shapiro, who's on the four, said that he thought

823
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: the fugitive should be on the list, and I just

824
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: I just don't know. I mean I I drama. You

825
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: call that drama, I believe, Yeah, drama suspense, which is

826
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: a category. Look the categorizations they blend. Somebody called me

827
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: out for not putting Tombstone on the list, and I'll

828
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: say that Tombstone is a phenomenal movie. But that's a western.

829
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: That's a Western. Come on, oh man, come on, semantics.

830
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: There we go. Man, look you keeping on having a

00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: backed up all the time. If I can get through,

835
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: I'd love to tell you a personal story about Trump.

841
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:13,439
Speaker 1: I'm original squad and I generally all right, oh yeah,

842
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: and I'm actually wearing an O G. Comy Bear T

843
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: shirt at the moment. Nice man. Those are collector's items.

844
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: That was the that was the cuddlier Comy Bear. We

845
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: people have been asked me when because like if you're

846
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: if you were, weren't someone listening to me before I

847
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: came over to America. Now, Uh, people want to sarily

848
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: know Comedy Bear is they will. We've been working on

849
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: bringing them back. It's basically, I just have to find

850
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: a version of the Soviet national anthem that we can

851
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: actually use on this show, and then I can bring

852
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: Comedy Bear back. But even something as minor as that,

853
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: believe it or not, it's been kind of a hold up.

854
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: But those T shirts are collector's items. That's why I

855
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 1: hand washed them. There you go, Um yeah, whoa deep breath, buddy,

856
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: Take drink, drink a little water. You know. I'll tell

857
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: you I was actually on I was on Megan Kelly

858
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: show once at Fox and she and she was always,

859
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: I will say, there's always very kind to me, and

860
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: it was very supportive of me early on in my career.

861
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: You know, bring me on a Fox and I'll never forget.

862
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: She had and I could see it and she was

863
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: giving me the head so you to keep talking because

864
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: she had like had a little water or something and

865
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 1: she had a coughing fit that I mean, she almost

866
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: doubled over and they kept looking at me and they

867
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: kept telling me and that the producers are saying, you know,

868
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: giving me the talk signal. I keep talking, keep talking

869
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: because the camera was on me. But I was stuck

870
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: between the gallant impulse to like patter on the back

871
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: and be like are you okay? And it just keep

872
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: talking like everything was fine. It was very awk and

873
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: eventually they had to go to commercial, but she was

874
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 1: totally she was choked up. So anyway you were saying, sir,

875
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: I appreciate you covering covering for me. There exactly two things.

876
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: One is a movie quote and interesting with the conversation

877
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: with Mark about would he considers an action movie. I

878
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: consider it closer to your definition definition, and I would

879
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: agree with you on three of your original five four

880
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: of your amended five. You said earlier in the show,

881
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: I've never seen Alien and don't ever want to Alien.

882
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 1: It's not Alien, different movie, but yeah, okay, I don't know.

883
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: I don't like scary creature thingies. I just don't do that.

884
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 1: But this one, actually, it probably wouldn't be top five,

885
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: but this comes from one of my top ten for sure.

886
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: And I have got two quotes for you, so if

887
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: you can't get them the first, and I'll give you

888
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: the second one may or may not help you, but

889
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: it's a good one too. So here we go, Sam,

890
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,919
Speaker 1: Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt. That's

891
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: the first thing they teach you. Vincent, who taught you, Sam?

892
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: I don't remember. That's the second thing they teach you. Hm,

893
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: And don't hit the buzzer. Man, I'm out. I don't

894
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: know what that is. But we're slowing the buzzer, but

895
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: the buzzer got hit. There we go, what is that? Well?

896
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 1: The second the second line is you ever kill anybody? Sam? Well?

897
00:45:55,400 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 1: I heard somebody feelings once? It's rouning with Bobby's I

898
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: saw that once. I did see it once, a long

899
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: time ago. I vaguely remember. Is it a very good movie?

900
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: I know Ronan is a wandering samurai, right, Samurai without

901
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: a master? Right? Yeah? And the thing about it is

902
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: it's it's enigmatic and it doesn't quite fit the die

903
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: hard you know, umbrella of action movies. But I can

904
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: watch that movie over and over and over again and

905
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: pick out things. Plus it has I believe, the best

906
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 1: non CGI car chase scene ever filmed, better than Bullet,

907
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: which which for years was the high Water. I will

908
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: also say that it came up in the discussion the

909
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 1: social media discussion last night of action movies that some

910
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: folks said they thought the best gun battle of all

911
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: two are the best gunfight scene was the the bank

912
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: robber shootout in Heat. I think that's I think that's

913
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: a strong, strong case can be made. That's a really

914
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: exceptional sequence. I have to go back and watch that.

915
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen that. Oh you haven't seen

916
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: Heat with the Nero and Pacino and oh my god,

917
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 1: it's it's a very good movie. But the the main

918
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 1: shootout scene is I mean, they they did it, you know,

919
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: they did it so well that unfortunately, later on a

920
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,439
Speaker 1: couple of guys basically tried to do that and rob

921
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: a bank by just being completely uh you know, up

922
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,399
Speaker 1: armored with all kinds of uh, you know, kevlar, and

923
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: and they had um. I don't think they. I think

924
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: they had a R fifteens or might have been it

925
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: might have been I don't know. I think it was

926
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: an a R fifteam, But anyway, they had they had

927
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: semi automatic rifles, a lot of magazines, and a lot

928
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: of body armor and the cops. They actually managed to

929
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: pin the cops down because all these l APD cops

930
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 1: showed up and all they have were were, you know,

931
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: nine millimeter side arms and uh some twelve gage shotguns.

932
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 1: But it wasn't enough. So anyway, Yeah, but heat Heat

933
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: was considered to be like it was like a copycat

934
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: for that later on that later on bank round the

935
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: Hollywood bank robbery or something that it's called something like

936
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: that Hollywood bank robbery shootout. Okay, I will check it out.

937
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: And to your point that you were talking about the

938
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: last half hour, last hour about the press, Um, it

939
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: was interesting. You were on with Michael Pelka this morning.

940
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: I gotta heard that phone call and you talked about

941
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,720
Speaker 1: a book. It's called The Perfect Race or the Greatest,

942
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: the Cleanest Race. Bye bye, Yeah by Myers. Yeah, it's

943
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 1: it's about North Korea. I've mentioned on this show a

944
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: few times as well. And I heard an interview earlier

945
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 1: this week on another station with with the guy who

946
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: wrote that book. And I also heard Glenn's interview with

947
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: another guy who wrote about North Korea as well, And

948
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: in listening to those two two interviews, it's clear, and

949
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 1: you said this in the opening show tonight, that the

950
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: people who are sitting in the pundit chairs on TV

951
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: in makeup have no clue of what North Korea is

952
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: all about and and and are have no clue as

953
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: to you know, the president's reaction to it. And I

954
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 1: think that that, you know, the question has been raised,

955
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: where do we get our news from when the news

956
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: is no longer with any credibility. Another another one of

957
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: your former compatriots at the has said something recently that

958
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: the purpose of broadcast news, radio and television is to

959
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: fill time. That's the number one job. And when you

960
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: put that as the first filter that everything comes through,

961
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: then you go, of course, you know they're gonna come

962
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: up with the silliest people and the silliest things to

963
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: fill this time and to be sensational and to drive

964
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: the ratings. But if people understood what uh the writer

965
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: of that book and the other book that I mentioned,

966
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 1: the two interviews I've heard this week, it gives a

967
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: much clearer picture. And then the idea that Kim jong

968
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 1: Un is a is a crazy lunatic, probably strung out

969
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: on some opiate somewhere, becomes a lot less viable. And

970
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: there is a method to this madness and it's megalomoment maniacal. Well,

971
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: as they got the word out, and that's where the

972
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: real understanding, I believe is because they were backing their

973
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 1: statements up facts. And it's not this hyperbolic you know,

974
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 1: bloviating about well Kim is blah blah blah. It's we

975
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: have to go to the original sources. And I view

976
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: those two authors as being original. Yeah. I mean, look,

977
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: I mean c n CNN is putting people on to

978
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: talk about the North Korea, the North Korea Showdown. Who

979
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: don't know the difference between an I, C B M

980
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: and a DVR. I mean, it's really it's really appalling.

981
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,399
Speaker 1: So and and MSNBC has been doing the same thing.

982
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: Um anyway, my friend, great call, good to talk to you.

Speaker 1: someone joining from Ukraine and tell us about the war

Speaker 1: in Eastern Ukraine, Russia fighting against the U. S Ally

993
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:03,879
Speaker 1: that doesn't get much attention at all. And then I'll

1027
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,919
Speaker 1: Only got two things for you. Just first one I'd

1028
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: just like to add a couple of movies to your

1029
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: top action movies list. One of them have to be

1030
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: Desperado with Antonio Bandiris. You know, I I love that movie.

1031
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: I've seen that movie so many. I actually owned it

1032
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: on VHS or no, on DVD in college, I can't

1033
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: remember now anyway, Yeah, I owned it. I've seen it

1034
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: a million times. Yeah, that one's incredible. And then the

1035
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: other one would have to be The Boondoc Saints. And

1036
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen it at Santa, I haven't seen it.

1037
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: I've heard there's a lot of profanity. But I know, seriously,

1038
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: right now, the Freedom Hunt team is looking at me

1039
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 1: like unacceptable. They're giving me the wow. It's like, we

1040
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: don't even know you face. So okay, apparently I have

1041
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: to see Boondocks sets. Yeah, it'll change your life. And

1042
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: the last thing, you know, you were talking about Guam.

1043
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: You know what were some of that? What do people

1044
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: think is going to happen? First, I think you're actually

1045
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: ruling out one of our very smart congressmen, UM Democrat

1046
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 1: from Georgia. I believe it was a two thousand ten.

1047
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: Hank Johnson was more concerned that Guam was in danger

1048
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: of tipping over. I do vaguely remember that that gas. Yeah,

1049
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,879
Speaker 1: so nuclear weapons aside and global warming, what we really

1050
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 1: have to worry about is the buoyancy of Guam according

1051
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: to the Democrats. So you know that's another another thing

1052
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 1: to consider. Fair enough, man Shields. I have a great weekend, Jason,

1053
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: thank you. We got John up in Alaska on k

1054
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: E and I Hey John, Hey, we're movies. I have

1055
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: to say Red Dawn, that's my favorite movie, Bolverines, and uh,

1056
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: I knew the guy who made the chain gun and Predator.

1057
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 1: That was Terry Schmidt and what a deal he had

1058
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 1: to go through to get that thing to work for

1059
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: that movie. Wait, so you knew the guy that made

1060
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:37,439
Speaker 1: the prop mini gun that Jesse Ventura carried around. Yep.

1061
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: Really hell of a guy. He could give him. He's

1062
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 1: he was a true mcdiver. But anyway, I wanted to

1063
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: get back to, uh, the E m P and the

1064
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: problems with that. I've been so concerned about it. That's

1065
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: uh January of this year. I've been contacting the Trump team,

1066
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: then the Trump White House, and I put it in

1067
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: a proposal for the wall, building it as a charity cage,

1068
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: as a what charity cage You're familiar with that, aren't

1069
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 1: you know? What? Is that? The only thing to stop

1070
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 1: an e MP. Basically, if you wanted to design the

1071
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: cheapest charity cage on Earth, you would take a metal

1072
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: trash can bill it would foam, have it, have something

1073
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:27,359
Speaker 1: suspended like a transistor radio in there, put the lid on.

1074
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: Then you use a metal tape to go around the edges.

1075
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: Do you have I mean, I asked this respectfully. I'm

1076
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: not I'm not trying to be trying to be silly

1077
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: or snarky. Do you have a background in science or

1078
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: you seem very interested in e MPs, which are pretty

1079
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: um specific area of Yes, I do, but I have

1080
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 1: even more than that. I have My uncle, who was

1081
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: head of the UH Nuclear Commission in the Marshall Islands,

1082
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 1: discussed how when they fired off the blast, every Transformer

1083
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: and mad Ro went out cars driving their points FROs.

1084
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 1: And I was also interested in UH. They did a

1085
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 1: study on Prince Oigan, which is in Quaduline Lagoon. That

1086
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: was that bikini Yeah, Bikini Atoll blast. They couldn't sink it.

1087
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: The other thing that they were bothered by is the

1088
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 1: Germans had made it electromagnetic pulse proof. They were working

1089
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: on electromagnetic pulse weapon and they did have one working

1090
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:36,240
Speaker 1: during World War Two, and that the guns would still operate,

1091
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 1: everything would still work. They couldn't sink it. So finally

1092
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 1: they dragged it over the Quaduline Lagoon. The Americans that

1093
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna use this UM ship to ship missile and

1094
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: sink it. With that. Build the whole different, open up

1095
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 1: all the watertight compartments, put in a huge uh C

1096
00:56:56,160 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 1: four UM placement in the bow and in the stern,

1097
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 1: and when the missile hit, we've got twenty seconds, sir, okay.

1098
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 1: Any anyway, the last thing is I purchased when this

1099
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 1: Soviet Union collapsed uh T fifty four king that was

1100
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 1: set up for electromagnetic bulks. This was they were taking

1101
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: their older tanks. Because all this is fascinating, but I

1102
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: gotta go, my friend, I'm sorry, we're going to a heartbreak.

1103
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. All I'm Barry, Mississippi. What's going on?

1104
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,919
Speaker 1: Listen on the I heart app? My friend? How are you? Tom?

1105
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: Greg Buck? Are you? I'm good? Thanks for calling in?

1106
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: Sure thing? Hey Buck? Back to healthcare if we can

1107
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: sure a word? We have not heard yet or hardy, No,

1108
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 1: not yet at all. The word lobbyist, you know, Hailey, Uh,

1109
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 1: security is a loser. Barber is likely the most powerful

1110
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: Republican in d C. And we have three Republicans who

1111
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 1: are uh standing against repeal when there's no change to Medicaid,

1112
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: there's no change for the subjidy, there was no change

1113
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: to the insurance regulations. But yet they said, well, this

1114
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 1: is gonna harm my state and I don't see how.

1115
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: And so what if what if it's uh lobbyist pressure

1116
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: that's keeping those three uh from approven? What if they're

1117
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: providing the cover for a number of other Republicans. Okay,

1118
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 1: you guys, you're not up for re election in eighteen.

1119
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: You know, maybe Maccain you'll never run again. So you

1120
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: guys vote know and the rest of us will be safe.

1121
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: I just worry or believe that that uh. You know,

1122
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: the most powerful people in Washington are not in office.

1123
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: They're not working for the government, They're working for healthcare firms.

1124
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: If you look at Barber's uh, well, in case you

1125
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: didn't know his uh, his lobbyist firm is b g

1126
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: R Group. Uh. And if you look at them, they say,

1127
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: you know, nonpartisan lobbying. And then if you look up

1128
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 1: their client lists, you'll see about a hundred or two

1129
00:58:53,240 --> 00:59:00,080
Speaker 1: hundred healthcare organizations uh in their sevan this. So you know,

1130
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 1: I heard the hospitals are making a ton of money

1131
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 1: because of Obamacare. My guests would be the indigence they're

1132
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: not getting now, getting paid for indigence when it used

1133
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: to have to be they would absorb it. Hospitals love Obamacare,

1134
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: by the way. That's everyone should know that big hospitals,

1135
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 1: the big hospital systems, they love Obamacare. So yeah, and

1136
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: I couldn't figure out why, but until I realized, yeah,

1137
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: they're probably getting paid now for the indigence they used

1138
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: to have to eat it. Now they can file a

1139
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: Medicaid that's right, because the Medicaid expansion, they're getting a

1140
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: lot more money. Yeah. And so you know, the country,

1141
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: especially d C, runs on money, not on honor or

1142
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: anything else that we would like. And and so you know,

1143
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 1: enough money in the right place, and we're stuck with

1144
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 1: the darn uh. I think that's when we talk about

1145
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 1: the swamp, when we talk about the Swamp area, I

1146
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: think a lot of people here that and they think

1147
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 1: it's it's the permanent bureaucracy in d C. It's the

1148
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: federal agencies, it's the Democrats, it's the media. To people

1149
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: think it different things. Part of the swamp is there

1150
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: is the uh, the very sizeable chunk of the Republican

1151
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Party that is completely at the beck and call of

1152
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 1: the donor class, which is just another way of saying

1153
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: of special interests, of lobbyists, and of money. Uh. That's

1154
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: you know, of money in politics. And I'm not somebody

1155
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: who thinks that we should try to get money out

1156
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: of politics. But I am somebody who thinks that elected

1157
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: representatives should be held to account for the principles they

1158
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: espouse and the promises that they make. And if we

1159
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: don't do that, well then we're all just being fools

1160
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: who are getting who are getting uh, you know, tricked

1161
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: by these people that, for example, say they're gonna repeal

1162
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 1: Obamacare and don't on your point about that, By the way,

1163
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: I think you're right. My guess is that there are

1164
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: more Republicans who actually were unwilling to uh, or rather

1165
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: they only voted for repeal because they knew that it

1166
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: would not pass, because they knew that there were a

1167
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 1: few who are holdouts. I think it's very possible, right,

1168
01:00:56,080 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: and uh, we just we just well I had an

1169
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 1: argument with somebody wants about obviously, so the lobbyists are

1170
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: tearing up the country. Well, you know, if the government

1171
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: wasn't given away so much money, well we wouldn't have

1172
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: so many lobbyists in line trying to get it. And

1173
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 1: and that's the biggest problem with the government spending is that, uh,

1174
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 1: we're not we're out of control. That the government is

1175
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 1: just a money factory now to to the most powerful

1176
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 1: people in the country, and we're just pawns filling up

1177
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 1: the bowl for them to go feed at. Well, and

1178
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, all these problems bear that you're outlining. I

1179
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 1: think this this very much feeds into the perception that

1180
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 1: people had across the country that we needed something disruptive

1181
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 1: to the system, Trump to try and change things, because

1182
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 1: anybody who's gonna try to work from within this system

1183
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: would immediately be co opted, corrupted, and and newter. It

1184
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: would become meaningless. Right, So, and I think that's why

1185
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 1: people give Trump such a wide berth. You know, at

1186
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: the end of all this, at the end of his

1187
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 1: three years or four years of his first term, you know,

1188
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be looking at what's been done and make

1189
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 1: my decision. But in the meantime, I'm also willing to

1190
01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 1: give the guy a lot of leeway because he is

1191
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: coming against all this stuff. And you know, we've seen

1192
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: the way it was in the past. You know, it

1193
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: would have been very interesting. And I know this is

1194
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm kind of taking us down a whole separate rabbit hole. You're, Barry,

1195
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 1: very interesting to have seen what a Bush George W.

1196
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 1: Bush presidency would have been like without the War on

1197
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: Terror nine eleven. Uh. You know they favor of amnesty. Uh,

1198
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, medicare party, big spending. I mean, there was

1199
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: a lot of big government tendencies in that administration. Yeah.

1200
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: And so when there's chaos in d C. I say,

1201
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: this is what real change looks like. This is what

1202
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 1: we wanted. Trump said he was gonna upset the operation

1203
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 1: and he's doing a damn good job of it. And

1204
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 1: so this chaos, this is what we wanted, just like

1205
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 1: you said, we want the chaos because this is what

1206
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 1: real overthrow of Washington corruption looks like. Yeah, I mean,

1207
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 1: I know, I know Russias talked about Operation Chaos in

1208
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 1: the past. Uh, Trump is Trump is the agent of

1209
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 1: chaos in DC and it's it's very very interrut to

1210
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: watch a playoffs. Thanks for calling, embarrass shields high and

1211
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: have a great weekend. Uh, Bradley in Arizona. I heart

1213
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. Uh. First of all, free Siday.

1214
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 1: It's great. These are some great calls. I enjoy it.

1215
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: And second thing, I really appreciate you kind of bearing

1216
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: your soul yesterday with uh, you know, with alcohol and

1217
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 1: how it's aspected your life. It Uh, it's it's very

1218
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 1: nice to hear somebody being very truthful and honest about

1219
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: about their feelings. But the reason I called was to

1220
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 1: dovetail off of Ben Shapiro and how the transgender evolution

1221
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: I guess how that's become such a pillar within the

1222
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:51,920
Speaker 1: liberal democratic slice of life. But my question is, and

1223
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 1: it's more of a rhetorical question, what about the Rachel Dolmazols.

1224
01:03:56,480 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 1: What about those people that trans race or whatever they're called.

1225
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: I mean, because they've been forgotten about because the transgender crowd,

1226
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: the Democrats open you know, welcomed them with open arms.

1227
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 1: But it seems like Rachel dolaz All and guests outwardly

1228
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 1: on Caucasian, but inside I feel like a black woman.

1229
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know you how come she was scorned?

1230
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: And uh Manning? Um? Oh, well, Bradley man Chelsea Manning

1231
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: and Caitlyn Jenner, you know you, Bradley. I a while

1232
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 1: back talked about a story that touched on exactly this issue,

1233
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: So I'll revisit it with you for just a moment.

1234
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: And that is the journal of feminist philosophy known as

1235
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 1: Hypatia for a female mathematician. Uh, not a very well

1236
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 1: known one, but there's a journal of feminist philosophy where

1237
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 1: a philosophy professor wrote about the exactly what you're saying,

1238
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 1: which is that the same premise of transgenderism one can

1239
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,919
Speaker 1: in fact be trans racial. In fact, there's no way

1240
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: to prove that someone does not earnestly and honestly believe

1241
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 1: that he or she is of a different race. And

1242
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: in fact, she didn't go into this. But scientifically speaking,

1243
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 1: if you were to trace all of our genetic backgrounds

1244
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 1: far enough, you could make a case that there are well,

1245
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: first of all, there are people that have and anytime

1246
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 1: you ask somebody who spend enough time like doing their

1247
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:30,400
Speaker 1: ancestry background stuff. They'll say, well, you know, I'm I'm

1248
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: five percent Native American and you know three you know,

1249
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 1: ten percent this. You know, my my girlfriend is is

1250
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 1: half Mexican and half Jewish and a whole bunch of

1251
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 1: other stuff thrown in there too that I can't even remember.

1252
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 1: So you know, when when you when you look at

1253
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 1: the argument, though, for trans racialism and transgenderism, they line

1254
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 1: up almost exactly. And in fact, the transgender argument has

1255
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 1: to be a psychological argument. And this is where a

1256
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: lot of the time they the big proponents of this

1257
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 1: run into trouble because they will say, and I've seen this,

1258
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 1: Oh well, what about what about people who have hermaphroditic

1259
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 1: condition who have both? And pardon me, of guys were

1260
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: getting a little bit into the uh, you know, into

1261
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 1: the nether regions and biology here. But that's a real

1262
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 1: thing that can happen. But if it's based on biology,

1263
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 1: well then the only people who can be transgender have

1264
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: that condition. In fact, it's based entirely it has to

1265
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:28,959
Speaker 1: be as a movement on psychology, on emotion, on state

1266
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 1: of mind. And if it has no physics, if transgenderism

1267
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: has no physical characteristics, meaning it's not about what she

1268
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 1: got downstairs, it's about what you think upstairs. Then transracialism

1269
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 1: has to be given the same credibility and respect on

1270
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: the left. That was the argument that she made, and

1271
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 1: Bradley it was like she wrote a memo about diversity

1272
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: at Google. I mean people went nuts, and they went

1273
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 1: nuts because she was telling, because she was making the

1274
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: she was making an argument that was sound so so

1275
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: by a bybe that logic. Even though my entire ancestries

1276
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 1: from Europe. Deep inside, I feel like a elderly Asian guy,

1277
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: can I can I pass that one off? Oh? That's

1278
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 1: that's another place where I think that there's a lot

1279
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:23,919
Speaker 1: of That's where the argument goes with with your your

1280
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 1: mental age versus your physical age. Right, if you feel

1281
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: like you're a different age. You know, if I really

1282
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 1: feel like I'm sixty five, should I be able to

1283
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 1: get Medicare? But I really feel like people would say, well, no,

1284
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 1: of course not. And I bring that up because that

1285
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 1: is immediately tied to benefits, costs government action, and the

1286
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: racial issue is in part so sensitive because of what

1287
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,919
Speaker 1: Anton and Scalia referred to may rest in peace as

1288
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 1: the racial entitlement state. So, for example, if somebody views

1289
01:07:56,880 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 1: themselves as actually lack are actually Hispanic, right, if they

1290
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 1: believe they're transracial, then they should be able to apply

1291
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 1: to diversity programs in college and in hiring without anyone

1292
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 1: questioning that. And then the whole system falls apart because

1293
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 1: now you can have people of any background at this

1294
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 1: year race claiming the most advantageous race for the purposes

1295
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 1: of hiring and admissions. And so that's why it's a

1296
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:27,799
Speaker 1: big problem, right, because they see that the racial entitlement

1297
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 1: state and diversity programs, and the identity politics that are

1298
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 1: the foundation of the modern Democratic Party, it all starts

1299
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: to fall apart if you allow for transracialism. So then

1300
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: really when it comes down to is one costs money

1301
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: and one is benign for money. And so the one

1302
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: that is going to cost the US government and in

1303
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:54,639
Speaker 1: all the entities that suffer from that, we're gonna we're

1304
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 1: not gonna embrace that because it's too costly. But transgender

1305
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 1: that's less costly, So we'll go Well, I think I

1306
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 1: actually actually think you're you're you're analyzing it a little

1307
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 1: further than you have to, because what it really comes

1308
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,679
Speaker 1: down to is that the left is hypocritical on this issue.

1309
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 1: And that's why when that woman, that that that unknown

1310
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:17,759
Speaker 1: professor wrote in in Hypatia that this is the argument

1311
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 1: for one, this is the argument for the other, they

1312
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 1: line up. Everyone got so angry because she was right,

1313
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 1: or because rather the argument is right. And yes, I

1314
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 1: mean your your point about the cost to it, I

1315
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: think that factors in as well. But at a more

1316
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,639
Speaker 1: basic level, it's just that the left likes what it likes,

1317
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 1: and it's trying to promote certain ideas for the purpose

1318
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: of largely for silencing the other side and acquiring political power.

1319
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I mean, transracialism is everybody is everybod

1320
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:53,280
Speaker 1: is real from the perspective of psychology, as transgenderism um,

1321
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,719
Speaker 1: and and if it's not, somebody would have to explain

1322
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 1: how it's not, meaning that someone has to tell me

1323
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:01,680
Speaker 1: why there are people who believe who identify as a

1324
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: different race. And and also I should note this even

1325
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 1: comes up with people who are or of multiple races

1326
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 1: in terms of their background, they get to identify with

1327
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 1: one or the other. So there's actually a much greater,

1328
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 1: uh much greater leeway for transracialism based on on biology

1329
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 1: than there is for transgenderism. You see what I'm saying.

1330
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:25,720
Speaker 1: I mean, there are people that have two ethnic backgrounds

1331
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:30,679
Speaker 1: and they can identify with one or the other or both. Anyway, sorry,

1332
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 1: we we We got into this from Bradley. I've actually

1333
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: I got to run into a break man, But I

1334
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 1: thank you. I thank you for the the kind and

1335
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:38,800
Speaker 1: thoughtful call. She'll tie and have a great weekend. Uh.

1336
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: Like I said, I gotta run to a break here.

1337
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. Bart in South Carolina? Is this

1338
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 1: is this the Bart old school? Bart? Wow, it's been

1339
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:51,559
Speaker 1: a while, my friend. How are you? Bart is also

1340
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: original squad from way back when, way back when? Yeah,

1341
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 1: also one of the first Trump supporters on your radio show.

1342
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 1: I know you saw on all coming. Bart is one

1343
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 1: of those who's like I saw it coming from the

1344
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 1: beginning ha ha he did. Yeah. But you know what,

1345
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: even though I was a big Trump supporter back then,

1346
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: I still am. Now. I'm calling because I'm a little worried.

1347
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 1: It's wanted to get your thoughts about this because I

1348
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 1: see your situation Visa v. North Korea as potentially very dangerous.

1349
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 1: It's similar in many ways to what was happening in

1350
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,639
Speaker 1: the Pacific just price to World War two. North Korea

1351
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 1: is very much militaristic like Japan, even though they're not expansionistic.

1352
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: They threatened, bribe and extort from their neighbors. It could

1353
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:45,719
Speaker 1: potentially be very destructive, even far more so than Japan.

1354
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: Over and Uh. It worries me because a war against

1355
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 1: North Korea that doesn't go well or gets Russia or

1356
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 1: China involved in it in somehow, in some way, could

1357
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 1: spell disaster politically. Back Now do you how do you

1358
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 1: see the risks versus the benefits of a tough stan

1359
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:11,679
Speaker 1: stance on North Korea? Well, I have everything you said

1360
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 1: is true and in the realm of possibility, right, So

1361
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 1: there's I that's all you all the threats and concerns

1362
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,760
Speaker 1: you outlined, those are real. I agree, we need to

1363
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:21,559
Speaker 1: be aware of them, and we need to be prepared

1364
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 1: for those possibilities. But I do think it is a

1365
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 1: remote possibility at this point because the the U S

1366
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:35,600
Speaker 1: military response to a North Korean military strike, let's call it,

1367
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 1: that a real military strike against US or one of

1368
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:42,400
Speaker 1: our allies, would be I mean, and this is it's

1369
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:44,920
Speaker 1: hard to conceptualize this, but I do think that we

1370
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 1: would effectively and the North Korean state, and and that

1371
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 1: would mean a lot of people would die. UM, A

1372
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 1: lot of people that have nothing to do with Kim

1373
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:55,799
Speaker 1: Jong on, A lot of people that have never fired,

1374
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 1: you know, fired a shot and anger at anybody, including

1375
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 1: anyone from the US or allies. So we all want

1376
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 1: to avoid that. UM. I think the tough stance creates

1377
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 1: the pressure and the environment where you can hope for

1378
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 1: and hope. I know it's a weak word here because

1379
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say, because we've tried

1380
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: this in Iraq and then we end up evading. We're

1381
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 1: trying it Iran. It's not gonna work there, my friends,

1382
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 1: and now we're trying at some other level in North Korea.

1383
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 1: Hope for regime change. Regime change is you know, I've

1384
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 1: actually studied authoritarian dictatorships on my own. It's something I've

1385
01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 1: read a lot about, and overwhelmingly, regime change does not

1386
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:36,640
Speaker 1: come externally. It does not come from an invasion. If

1387
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 1: you go back in history of the last couple of

1388
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 1: hundred years, where does regime change come from. It comes

1389
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 1: from within, and it usually comes from a essentially contested

1390
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:50,680
Speaker 1: power within the upper upper circles of whoever's already in charge. Right,

1391
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: So if there is regime change in North Korea, it

1392
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 1: would most likely be some other member of the North

1393
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 1: Korean military who knocks off Kim Jong n Right, and

1394
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 1: now he's in charge how much or is he going

1395
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 1: to be who knows? So we're waiting there. But this

1396
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 1: is where you fall into the there are no good options, Bart,

1397
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 1: and I think that's what you're illustrating with your question,

1398
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 1: and there really aren't any good options. Yeah, you know,

1399
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 1: it's uh, I know, it's it's bad when presidents do this,

1400
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:20,759
Speaker 1: because people were talking about Obama doing things just after

1401
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 1: he got re elected or just prior to re election

1402
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 1: to ride kind of the wave. But I think if

1403
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,599
Speaker 1: Trump is considering any kind of action against North Korea,

1404
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 1: well rattioning up to sable rattling or whatever, I hope

1405
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 1: that he does wait until late in his first term

1406
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:44,719
Speaker 1: so that any eventual victory would be uh, would would

1407
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 1: ride him into the next term potentially, right, that's a

1408
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:53,200
Speaker 1: political game, or until at the beginning of his second term.

1409
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 1: All right, we'll see Bart. Hey man, it was great.

1410
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 1: It's great, too great to hear from me. Bart's one

1411
01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 1: of my old school peeps. Actually met Bar when I

1412
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 1: gave a speech down in South Carolina to Bart Shield time. Man,

1413
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 1: tell the family, I said, hi, and thank you so

1414
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:06,920
Speaker 1: much for calling in. Uh, it's great. We whenna have

1415
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 1: original Team Buck squad representing here on the airwaves. Yeah, man,

1416
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 1: I've been doing this. Gosh, I don't know. I have

1417
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:16,160
Speaker 1: been doing radio now for four or five years. It's

1418
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 1: been a while. Uh so where was I? Oh, we've

1419
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 1: got someone calling in with someone. We've got our our guest,

1420
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:26,040
Speaker 1: Nolan Peterson coming up here. He's calling in from Ukraine.

1421
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 1: The war in eastern Ukraine with Russia that you are

1422
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:31,920
Speaker 1: not being told about. It matters a lot. It matters

1423
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 1: for what's going on with Putin. We're gonna talk about

1424
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 1: that in the next hour. He'll be joining us. Stay

1425
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:41,599
Speaker 1: with me. You are now and entering the Freedom Technical

1426
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:46,280
Speaker 1: Operations Center. All sensitive programs Musty can't strictly need to know.

1427
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 1: Team Buck is cleared and ready for the Buck brief. Alright, Team,

1428
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:55,839
Speaker 1: we often talk about what's going on with Russia, what's

1429
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:59,080
Speaker 1: going on with Ukraine, and what the foreign policy of

1430
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:02,799
Speaker 1: the Trump administration and should be visa VI those two countries.

1431
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:07,240
Speaker 1: In fact, when we discuss Putin's aggression. Ukraine, right after

1432
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:11,560
Speaker 1: Syria is usually the first place that people name, Well,

1433
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:13,479
Speaker 1: what's it like that part of the world. Right now,

1434
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 1: we have somebody who is literally there. He's been eight

1435
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:21,919
Speaker 1: days embedded on the front lines of the war in Ukraine.

1436
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:24,760
Speaker 1: He's a foreign correspondent for The Daily Signal and a

1437
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:28,000
Speaker 1: former Special operations pilot, a combat veteran of a Rock

1438
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:31,400
Speaker 1: and Afghanistan. Nolan Peterson of The Daily Signal calls us

1439
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 1: now from Ukraine. Thanks so much, Nolan, thanks for having

1440
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 1: me appreciate it. Um, okay, let's just start with give

1441
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 1: us an update on what's going on with the the

1442
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:43,680
Speaker 1: war in Ukraine. I know you've been writing about this,

1443
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:47,679
Speaker 1: right well, the war has been going on for more

1444
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 1: than three years now. It's, uh, the way it currently

1445
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:56,759
Speaker 1: is is a ecstatic war along about a two fifty

1446
01:16:56,800 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 1: mile long series of trenches and forts in eastern Ukraine.

1447
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 1: I've been out there count a couple of dozen times

1448
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:11,880
Speaker 1: over the last three years, and it's it's a shocking war,

1449
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 1: honestly to see and especially to know that it is

1450
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:17,640
Speaker 1: going on in Europe now in two thousand and seventeen.

1451
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:21,839
Speaker 1: It's very reminiscent of what you might see in pictures

1452
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:25,639
Speaker 1: of World War One, trenches dug into the earth, daily

1453
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 1: artillery bombardments every day, still rocket attacks, snipers, small unit

1454
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 1: incursions across no man's land. It's it's a it's a

1455
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,800
Speaker 1: real war. And I think that's one part of this

1456
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 1: story that just doesn't transmit back to both the United

1457
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:45,559
Speaker 1: States and Europe and who are all the two sides

1458
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:50,720
Speaker 1: of this conflict Nolan, and who's supporting them. So there's

1459
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 1: the Ukrainian sides, the Ukrainian government troops supported by lots

1460
01:17:55,120 --> 01:18:01,240
Speaker 1: of volunteer soldiers, although now the volunteer Retalians have all

1461
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:05,800
Speaker 1: been incorporated into Ukraine's National Guard. Their enemies, their their

1462
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 1: opponents is a combined force of both separatists, Ukrainian separatists

1463
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 1: and Russian regulars. About thirty four thousand separatists and about

1464
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 1: three thousand Russian soldiers fighting within Ukraine against Ukrainian true.

1465
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:24,639
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a really substantial by insurgency numbers, that's

1466
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:27,599
Speaker 1: really substantial, especially when you add in Russian regulars who

1467
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 1: have advanced combat training, right and well, the more shocking

1468
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,479
Speaker 1: part of this is not just the manpower, but the

1469
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:39,880
Speaker 1: fact the separatists, the combined, Russian separatists forces have six

1470
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 1: hundred seventy five tanks, of which about four seventy eight

1471
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:47,600
Speaker 1: or battle ready, and that's more tanks than all of

1472
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 1: the Western European countries combined. They have armored personnel carriers,

1473
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 1: eighty one artillery pieces, multiple launch rocket systems like the

1474
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:02,639
Speaker 1: GROAD so based be this separatist army, which Russia says

1475
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:08,719
Speaker 1: is comprises coal miners and factory workers. They have equipment wise,

1476
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:12,760
Speaker 1: one of the largest armies in Europe. We're speaking of

1477
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:15,800
Speaker 1: Nolan Peterson right now. He's a former foreign correspondent for

1478
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:18,879
Speaker 1: the Daily Signal, former special operations pilot. He's been embedded

1479
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 1: on the front lines of the war in Ukraine, which,

1480
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 1: as he's telling us right now, is ongoing and known

1481
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 1: from from what you are describing to me, Russia has

1482
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:31,840
Speaker 1: engaged in a covert invasion of Ukraine. I don't really

1483
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 1: hear it put that way. I don't hear people up

1484
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 1: on the screens on TV and the nightly news talking

1485
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:41,120
Speaker 1: about that. But when you're putting armor pieces and regular

1486
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 1: soldiers in another country that's trying to help a separatist

1487
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 1: movement that is at least a partially you can call

1488
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:52,600
Speaker 1: a limited incursion, but that's a covert invasion. And absolutely,

1489
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:54,719
Speaker 1: I man they asked. One of the biggest myths about

1490
01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 1: this war, and one of the greatest failures of the

1491
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 1: media and covering this war is is the continuance of

1492
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:04,679
Speaker 1: the notion that this is a civil war. This war

1493
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 1: was created by Russia. Russian special forces, Russian military intelligence

1494
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 1: operatives started this war in two thousand fourteen after Ukraine

1495
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 1: overthrew its former pro Russian president Victor Yanukovich. This war

1496
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 1: is a Russian project. This war is fought with Russian equipment.

1497
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:29,559
Speaker 1: There's Russian troops who have controlled these separatist forces. Russian

1498
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:32,720
Speaker 1: propaganda has contributed to the recruitment of separatists and as

1499
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 1: well as the the recruitment of foreign fighters from within

1500
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:39,040
Speaker 1: Russia and around the world to support the separatists. So

1501
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 1: this this is a Russian invasion. This is not a

1502
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:44,680
Speaker 1: civil wards, is not a separatist and surgency. It's a

1503
01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:47,840
Speaker 1: real war. And the Ukrainian troops with whom I've spent

1504
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:50,320
Speaker 1: a lot of time over the past few years, they

1505
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:53,559
Speaker 1: universally say that they are fighting for their country's freedom

1506
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:56,599
Speaker 1: and they are fighting to repel a Russian invasion which

1507
01:20:56,600 --> 01:21:01,479
Speaker 1: threatens their sovereignty. No one tell about what the the

1508
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:05,040
Speaker 1: the level of of casualties have been like because we

1509
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 1: don't hear about it out here in the West. We

1510
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:08,760
Speaker 1: don't hear about in America really much at all. We

1511
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:11,240
Speaker 1: certainly don't hear there's an ongoing war and trench warfare

1512
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:13,800
Speaker 1: and things that you've seen with your own eyes as

1513
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:15,680
Speaker 1: you've spent days out there on the front lines in

1514
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:19,320
Speaker 1: eastern Ukraine. Uh, what are the levels of casualties we're

1515
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:22,080
Speaker 1: talking about here, and also what are your thoughts on

1516
01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 1: the recent moves within the US to possibly provide arms

1517
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:29,040
Speaker 1: to the Ukrainian side in this conflict to help them

1518
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 1: expel the separatists and Russian invaders. Well, so far the

1519
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:40,479
Speaker 1: war has killed almost ten thousand one Ukrainians. About a

1520
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:44,639
Speaker 1: third of those deaths have occurred after the February two

1521
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:48,720
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen ceasefire was signed, So the rate or the

1522
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 1: intensity of the war has gone down quite a bit

1523
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 1: in the last two years after the ceasefire was signed,

1524
01:21:54,720 --> 01:22:00,519
Speaker 1: but there is still almost daily um casualties. Just on Tuesday,

1525
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 1: three Ukrainian soldiers were killed in combat and at least

1526
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 1: almost every single day. You know, between three six ten

1527
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:12,719
Speaker 1: Ukrainian soldiers are wounded. Civilians are still dying every day.

1528
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:15,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes they're caught in the crossfire or they die from minds,

1529
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 1: So it's it's a it's a static war. The soldiers

1530
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: hardly ever see who they're actually shooting at because it's

1531
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 1: mainly fought by artillery, bombardments and snipers. But they're still

1532
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,800
Speaker 1: active combat going on every day, and its combat fought

1533
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:35,720
Speaker 1: with heavy weapons, tanks, things that from my perspective as

1534
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 1: a former special operations pilot with experience in Arracon Afghanistan,

1535
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 1: it's pretty shocking to see tanks shooting at each other

1536
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:47,559
Speaker 1: in two thousand seventeen in Europe. Uh. The Ukrainian soldiers,

1537
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:52,280
Speaker 1: of course, welcome the possibility of of American weapons on

1538
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 1: the battlefield, particularly the Javelin anti tank missile, would be

1539
01:22:56,880 --> 01:23:00,240
Speaker 1: extremely helpful to them as they try to repel the

1540
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 1: combined Russian separatist tanks. Um But Ukraine has a lot

1541
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 1: of weapons. Ukraine is within is among the world's top

1542
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:12,840
Speaker 1: ten weapons exporting nations now um so in large part,

1543
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:15,839
Speaker 1: the presence of US weapons would be a game changer

1544
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 1: as far as the morale of Ukrainian troops, and it

1545
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: was sent a very strong message to Russia that we

1546
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 1: won't tolerate Russia invading another country, a country that chose

1547
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:31,519
Speaker 1: in two thousand and fourteen to have a democracy, to

1548
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 1: be part of the West, to turn towards Europe, and

1549
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 1: to turn away from Russia's sphirit of influence. We're speaking

1550
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:40,599
Speaker 1: of Nolan Peterson of the Daily Signal. He's a former

1551
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:43,880
Speaker 1: special operations pilot. He's coming to us from Kiev, as

1552
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:45,680
Speaker 1: he's told me, it is actually Kiev, if you want

1553
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:49,160
Speaker 1: to take the Ukrainian pronunciation, the capital of Ukraine. So

1554
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:52,760
Speaker 1: he's giving us an on the ground, frontline perspective about

1555
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:54,559
Speaker 1: that conflict. I also want to ask, you know, one

1556
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:57,680
Speaker 1: about recent NATO exercises and what's going on up in

1557
01:23:57,720 --> 01:23:59,880
Speaker 1: the Baltic That's something that I think has been over

1558
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:04,120
Speaker 1: shadowed in the news media here because of the prospect

1559
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:07,680
Speaker 1: of a nuclear exchange with North Korea. But things are

1560
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:10,760
Speaker 1: getting a little a little uneasy, a little testy up

1561
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:14,640
Speaker 1: in the Baltic region and with NATO. What's happening right well,

1562
01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 1: I think one part of the Ukraine War that people

1563
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:21,080
Speaker 1: uh that's sort of ignored is how it is completely

1564
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:26,280
Speaker 1: reshuffled the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe. The Baltic States,

1565
01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 1: in Poland, they all see Russia as an existential threat

1566
01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 1: to them and so they're preparing for a possible war

1567
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 1: with Russia. This summer, Russia is holding military exercises in

1568
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:42,559
Speaker 1: Belarus called the Zopod Exercises, and NATO estimates as many

1569
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:45,759
Speaker 1: as one hundred thousand Russian troops could be moving into

1570
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:49,920
Speaker 1: the area as party as part of these exercises. Of course,

1571
01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:53,519
Speaker 1: the invasion of Crimea, the invasion of the Dombas, the

1572
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 1: southeastern territory of Ukraine which is a war zone now,

1573
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 1: those were all precipitated under the guys of military exercises

1574
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 1: in two thousand and fourteen. So the Baltics and Poland

1575
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:09,800
Speaker 1: are definitely on edge with these massive exercises going on. America,

1576
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:11,759
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of talk about the Asian

1577
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:14,559
Speaker 1: pivot that Obama said we were going to make um

1578
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 1: during his presidency, but really America has made an Eastern

1579
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:22,920
Speaker 1: European pivot since the war in Ukraine began. Overall, we've

1580
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:27,160
Speaker 1: got about sixty troops in Europe now, but we've got

1581
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 1: an additional seven thousand who are there under the European

1582
01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:35,439
Speaker 1: Reassurance Initiative, which is basically are our retort if you

1583
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:37,839
Speaker 1: want to call it that, to Rusha's aggression in Ukraine.

1584
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:42,240
Speaker 1: Now we've got a series of lots of exercises going

1585
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 1: on throughout the Baltics. In Poland, we've got armored NATO

1586
01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:51,400
Speaker 1: has now got armored brigades rotating throughout the Baltics in Poland,

1587
01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:54,360
Speaker 1: US as an urban presence in Poland, which we didn't

1588
01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:57,439
Speaker 1: have prior to the war in Ukraine. UM and I

1589
01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: just recently as a pilot, this is interesting, but I

1590
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:03,240
Speaker 1: was on a Air Force Case one thirty five flight

1591
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:07,560
Speaker 1: over the Baltic Sea recently, and we had some B

1592
01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:11,600
Speaker 1: fifty two and B one bombers in formation with the

1593
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 1: tanker and we were intercepted by Russian sun over the

1594
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:20,240
Speaker 1: Baltic See, flying within international airspace. As a former Air

1595
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:23,439
Speaker 1: Force piloted, it sent a chill down my spine to

1596
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:27,200
Speaker 1: see a Russian warplane on the tail of the US

1597
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 1: B fifty two. And I think you really underscored for

1598
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:33,720
Speaker 1: me where we're at. And you know, the greatest risk

1599
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:37,080
Speaker 1: we run now is that some miscalculation with all these

1600
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 1: exercises going on could turn into an actual shooting war

1601
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:43,519
Speaker 1: between the US and Russia. What are you hearing from

1602
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:46,759
Speaker 1: from those on the ground in you know, your sources

1603
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:49,840
Speaker 1: and government officials, anyone and everyone you're talking to in

1604
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 1: Ukraine in the Baltics about whether Vladimir Putin, uh and

1605
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:58,360
Speaker 1: and the Kremlin are emboldened. Are they do they feel

1606
01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:01,760
Speaker 1: like this is this is becoming increasingly dangerous for them?

1607
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:04,919
Speaker 1: Do they feel like the status quo is somewhat static

1608
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:07,320
Speaker 1: and that they don't really know? And what are you

1609
01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 1: hearing in terms of their concern level and the uh

1610
01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:14,599
Speaker 1: the prospect that they that they hold for whether they'll

1611
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:16,800
Speaker 1: actually be an armed conflict with Russia in the next

1612
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: few years. Well, in Ukraine they well, yeah, I mean

1613
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:22,800
Speaker 1: in Ukraine obviously there in the middle of it. But

1614
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:26,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking to me about the the Baltics. When the

1615
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:31,600
Speaker 1: Baltics there, you know, historically they look back at the

1616
01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:34,760
Speaker 1: you know, almost a century that they spent in the

1617
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 1: Soviet Union. They look at that as an occupation and

1618
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:41,160
Speaker 1: they are all very worried that Russia could could do

1619
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:45,800
Speaker 1: something crazy. I think most people in this region, I

1620
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:50,080
Speaker 1: think that what Russia is doing is is probably guided

1621
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 1: by the internal politics of Russia. So if Vladimir Putin's

1622
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:59,840
Speaker 1: um his popularity goes down in Russia, the surest way

1623
01:27:59,840 --> 01:28:03,920
Speaker 1: for him to rebound that popularity is to engage in

1624
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 1: some sort of foreign adventure because in the eyes of

1625
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:08,439
Speaker 1: the Russian people, it makes him look like a hero.

1626
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 1: So if there is unrest within Russia, that's when I

1627
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 1: think you're really going to see people getting nervous, because

1628
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, his his popularity rating just went through the

1629
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 1: roof after he took Crimeia and launched the war in

1630
01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 1: Ukraine and then after Syria as well. So I think

1631
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 1: people definitely keep an eye, they keep an eye toward

1632
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:32,439
Speaker 1: the domestic situation in Russia, and when he needs a win,

1633
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:36,160
Speaker 1: he's going to find it with some sort of military adventure. Well.

1634
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:38,759
Speaker 1: To to that end, I mean, there's ongoing confident in Ukraine,

1635
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:41,519
Speaker 1: but are there concerns that that could be dramatically escalated

1636
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:45,799
Speaker 1: by the Russians. Oh, in Ukraine is a constant worry

1637
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:47,680
Speaker 1: that that what's going on. I mean, there is an

1638
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:51,200
Speaker 1: active shooting war going on now, but the but the

1639
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:55,280
Speaker 1: you know, the greater worry is that that that static

1640
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:58,400
Speaker 1: front line and that trench warfare could precipitate and to

1641
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:02,120
Speaker 1: a full on invasion, and that's that could happen easily.

1642
01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:08,240
Speaker 1: You know these things. Wars are the most unpredictable enterprise

1643
01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 1: in human civilization. You can't control it once it begins.

1644
01:29:13,720 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 1: And so in Ukraine there is the perpetual worry that

1645
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:19,720
Speaker 1: this could turn into something much worse. And then when

1646
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:22,559
Speaker 1: you have you know, you have Poland and the Baltic States,

1647
01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 1: and they don't like the fact that Ukraine is fighting

1648
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:28,519
Speaker 1: a war with Russia because they know that that war,

1649
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 1: if it expands, if it gets out of control, is

1650
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:34,840
Speaker 1: on their doorstep. One more for you, nolan Um, what

1651
01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:37,000
Speaker 1: is this sense about? What is the sense you're hearing

1652
01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:39,839
Speaker 1: again in this part of the world, Ukraine, the Baltics,

1653
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:43,759
Speaker 1: Eastern Europe. When it comes to President Trump, his rhetoric,

1654
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:47,360
Speaker 1: his relationship with Russia, and the US foreign policy of

1655
01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:54,320
Speaker 1: this administration thus far, well, I think when one thing

1656
01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:56,880
Speaker 1: that was very clear to me when I arrived in

1657
01:29:56,960 --> 01:30:00,400
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen is that the Ukrainians were very sustrated

1658
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:07,479
Speaker 1: with President Obama's continued his continued delay, a refusal to

1659
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:12,719
Speaker 1: send leathal weapons to Ukraine. And so now with this

1660
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:17,479
Speaker 1: proposal on Trump's desk, there is hope that this this

1661
01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:20,920
Speaker 1: proposal might go through, and they the Ukrainians really believed

1662
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:24,320
Speaker 1: that U S weapons wouldn't necessarily necessarily turn the tide

1663
01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:27,840
Speaker 1: of battle on a tactical level, but it would It

1664
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:30,320
Speaker 1: would be a complete morale game changer for both the

1665
01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:33,120
Speaker 1: country and for the soldiers. And they've been fighting this

1666
01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 1: war now for three years, and most of those soldiers

1667
01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:39,479
Speaker 1: they really believe they're fighting this war for America. They

1668
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:43,280
Speaker 1: believe that they're they're keeping the Russian the Russian Army

1669
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:46,640
Speaker 1: at bay in Ukraine's that Europe does not have to

1670
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:48,760
Speaker 1: deal with this war, so that America doesn't have to

1671
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:52,680
Speaker 1: fight this war for them at a later date um.

1672
01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:55,240
Speaker 1: But as far as Trump specifically, I have to say

1673
01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:59,080
Speaker 1: that Ukrainians, we were very happy to see that Trump

1674
01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:03,680
Speaker 1: proposed a already one percent increase and the funds for

1675
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:09,160
Speaker 1: the European Reassurance Initiative, which is basically America sending more troops,

1676
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 1: equipment in and rebuilding infrastructure in Eastern Europe to support

1677
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:16,640
Speaker 1: NATO's presence and the ball takes in Poland. So that

1678
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:19,479
Speaker 1: was a strong message by Trump and it was received

1679
01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:25,439
Speaker 1: by Ukraine that America is continuing to invest in deterring Russia,

1680
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 1: as well as reassuring our Eastern NATO allies in Ukraine

1681
01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 1: that we're here to help. There is also a U. S.

1682
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:35,680
Speaker 1: Army training mission in western Ukraine which is ongoing, and

1683
01:31:35,720 --> 01:31:37,960
Speaker 1: that has also sent a strong message to the Ukrainians

1684
01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:41,240
Speaker 1: that we're here and invested in their defense. Nolan, thank

1692
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:05,320
Speaker 1: quick break, will be right back. Stay with me. That

1693
01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:08,439
Speaker 1: was fascinating stuff from Nolan Peterson. You know he's he's

1694
01:32:08,479 --> 01:32:10,680
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, this is a guy who is

1695
01:32:10,680 --> 01:32:13,479
Speaker 1: so low key and I've I've been following his work.

1696
01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:15,639
Speaker 1: When I say he's on the front lines, he's out

1697
01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:20,000
Speaker 1: there in Eastern Ukraine, flak vest helmet on. I'm like

1698
01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:22,760
Speaker 1: he's a former Special Operations pilotso you know, this guy

1699
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 1: who knows how to how to operate in this world

1700
01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:28,599
Speaker 1: and and understands how to be close, to be close

1701
01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:31,800
Speaker 1: to the gunfire, but to keep himself safe. Um, he

1702
01:32:32,040 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 1: is out there looking at what's going on. And there's

1703
01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:36,720
Speaker 1: so little coverage of this. And it's amazing to me

1704
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:40,040
Speaker 1: that the media's focus on Russia is always so much

1705
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:44,200
Speaker 1: about what's going on with the what happened they say

1706
01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:47,240
Speaker 1: in the election, and the hacking. Russia has invaded a

1707
01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:50,599
Speaker 1: country that we are obligated under I mean, not treaty,

1708
01:32:50,640 --> 01:32:54,600
Speaker 1: but under a written agreement, under contract, the Budapest Memorandum

1709
01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 1: to defend. And I'm not saying we should Russia in

1710
01:32:57,040 --> 01:32:58,880
Speaker 1: there and fight against Russia, but I think we should

1711
01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:00,920
Speaker 1: at least be aware of what's going on here. It's

1712
01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:03,479
Speaker 1: just getting no coverage at all. And he says it's

1713
01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:06,360
Speaker 1: trunch warfare out there. You've got over ten thousand people

1714
01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:10,360
Speaker 1: dead or ten thousand casualties, at least ten thousand casualties

1715
01:33:10,360 --> 01:33:14,560
Speaker 1: in the conflict. I mean this, this is it's astonishing me,

1716
01:33:14,680 --> 01:33:17,000
Speaker 1: all right. So I wanted to just take some time

1717
01:33:17,040 --> 01:33:19,439
Speaker 1: to focus on an issue that not enough people are

1718
01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:21,240
Speaker 1: reporting on it all So there you go from the

1719
01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:23,479
Speaker 1: front lines there in Ukraine. And he was calling us

1720
01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:25,040
Speaker 1: at like midnight his time, so it was very nice

1721
01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:27,880
Speaker 1: of him to stay up. Um, we are gonna talk

1722
01:33:27,920 --> 01:33:32,160
Speaker 1: to him about what I call neutral speak in the office. Hello,

1723
01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:33,920
Speaker 1: how are you? I don't want to get fired, so

1724
01:33:33,960 --> 01:33:36,280
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you this way, we'll get into that.

1725
01:33:36,520 --> 01:33:39,880
Speaker 1: Stay with me. That was fascinating stuff from Nolan Peterson.

1726
01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's out there. I mean, this is

1727
01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:44,639
Speaker 1: a guy who is so low key and I've I've

1728
01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:46,720
Speaker 1: been following his work. When I say he's on the

1729
01:33:46,760 --> 01:33:51,320
Speaker 1: front lines, he's out there in eastern Ukraine, flak vest,

1730
01:33:51,439 --> 01:33:54,000
Speaker 1: helmet on. I'm like, he's a former special operations pilots

1731
01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:56,360
Speaker 1: of you know, this guy who knows how to how

1732
01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:58,800
Speaker 1: to operate in this world and and understands how to

1733
01:33:59,320 --> 01:34:01,720
Speaker 1: um be used to be close to the gunfire, but

1734
01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:05,400
Speaker 1: to keep himself safe. Um. He is out there looking

1735
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:07,720
Speaker 1: at what's going on. And there's so little coverage of this,

1736
01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:10,320
Speaker 1: And it's amazing to me that the media's focused on

1737
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:14,519
Speaker 1: Russia is always so much about what's going on with

1738
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:17,160
Speaker 1: the what happened they say in the election and the

1739
01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:21,080
Speaker 1: hacking Russia has invaded a country that we are obligated

1740
01:34:21,200 --> 01:34:24,839
Speaker 1: under I mean, not treaty, but under a written agreement,

1741
01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:28,280
Speaker 1: under contract, the Budapest Memorandum to defend. And I'm not

1742
01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:30,360
Speaker 1: saying we should Russia in there and fight against Russia,

1743
01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:32,040
Speaker 1: but I think we should at least be aware of

1744
01:34:32,040 --> 01:34:34,679

1748
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:47,559
Speaker 1: this is it's astonishing to me, all right, So I

1749
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:50,240
Speaker 1: wanted to just take some time to focus on an

1750
01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:52,559
Speaker 1: issue that not enough people are reporting on it all.

1751
01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:54,960
Speaker 1: So there you go from the front lines there in Ukraine.

1752
01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:56,639
Speaker 1: And he was calling us at like midnight his time,

1753
01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:58,840
Speaker 1: so it was very nice of him to stay up. Um,

1754
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:02,040
Speaker 1: we are gonna talk to him about what I call

1755
01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:05,040
Speaker 1: neutral speak in the office. Hello, how are you? I

Speaker 1: don't want to get fired, so I'll talk to you

1757
01:35:06,800 --> 01:35:09,720
Speaker 1: this way. We'll get into that. Stay with me. I

1758
01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:13,679
Speaker 1: don't like to get too much into the media gossip

1759
01:35:13,800 --> 01:35:17,160
Speaker 1: and the headlines that are out there about different media people.

1760
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:19,680
Speaker 1: Some of you will keep up with this stuff and

1761
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:22,439
Speaker 1: others have a lot of other things on your mind.

1762
01:35:23,200 --> 01:35:26,200
Speaker 1: But I can say this given what's happened at Google

1763
01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:30,960
Speaker 1: and also some of the recent some of the recent departures,

1764
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:34,599
Speaker 1: shall we say, from major purchase in the news media,

1765
01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:38,120
Speaker 1: from from big platforms that have happened over the last

1766
01:35:38,120 --> 01:35:40,320
Speaker 1: six months, and then there may be some more that

1767
01:35:40,360 --> 01:35:43,920
Speaker 1: are coming in the next few days. Given all that's

1768
01:35:44,160 --> 01:35:48,880
Speaker 1: happened with that, UM, I have to say I really

1769
01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:53,639
Speaker 1: resent that there are people who are so reckless, who

1770
01:35:53,640 --> 01:35:58,200
Speaker 1: have been given such prominence by the decision makers that

1771
01:35:58,280 --> 01:36:01,599
Speaker 1: some of these different outlets and from channels, and then

1772
01:36:01,600 --> 01:36:04,880
Speaker 1: they just act like morons. And it's not even just

1773
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:09,719
Speaker 1: that I am annoyed, because this is a very tough business.

1774
01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I try not to complain to you too

1775
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:13,680
Speaker 1: much about I really just hope to give you some

1776
01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:16,880
Speaker 1: insight into what it is to be in the media

1777
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:19,200
Speaker 1: because when people reach out to me, and I often

1778
01:36:19,200 --> 01:36:22,519
Speaker 1: get asked this, and people who are former military, former

1779
01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:24,559
Speaker 1: federal government will reach out and say, hey, you know,

1780
01:36:24,640 --> 01:36:26,720
Speaker 1: how how do I do what you do? And I

1781
01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:29,639
Speaker 1: always tell them, look, if you if you are supporting

1782
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:31,559
Speaker 1: a family and you have a mortgage. I do not

1783
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:34,639
Speaker 1: recommend this at all. Uh. And I really mean that

1784
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:38,400
Speaker 1: if it's just you and you can handle lean times

1785
01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:42,600
Speaker 1: and you can handle uncertainty and stress and unfairness and

1786
01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 1: uh and just a really nasty Game of Thrones style

1787
01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:50,519
Speaker 1: corporate environment, well, and you love media and you love

1788
01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:53,960
Speaker 1: commentary shore but those are the usually stipulations I put

1789
01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:57,080
Speaker 1: on it. But in that world, given how hard it

1790
01:36:57,160 --> 01:37:00,519
Speaker 1: is to actually get to a place where you're you're

1791
01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:03,559
Speaker 1: successful or you're I don't I don't mean successful like

1792
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:08,519
Speaker 1: O'Reilly successful or uh, you know, I don't know, Dan

1793
01:37:08,680 --> 01:37:11,479
Speaker 1: Rather successful or Katie Kuric successful. You know, I just

1794
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:14,360
Speaker 1: mean paying your bills and being in this industry and

1795
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:17,759
Speaker 1: doing what you love. Once you get to even that point,

1796
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm shocked to see how some people just all of

1797
01:37:23,680 --> 01:37:25,760
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like they turn into different people, and

1798
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:29,400
Speaker 1: they are reckless, and they destroy their families and they

1799
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:32,760
Speaker 1: do all this really dumb stuff. But it also so

1800
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:35,880
Speaker 1: it bothers me on that level, But it also bothers

1801
01:37:35,920 --> 01:37:40,720
Speaker 1: me when it just filters into or it adds to

1802
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:44,040
Speaker 1: it piles on to one of them big problems that

1803
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:46,439
Speaker 1: I see and this is what the Google firing over

1804
01:37:46,479 --> 01:37:49,760
Speaker 1: that diversity memo. I think that's why it struck such

1805
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:52,160
Speaker 1: a nerve. I mean, that was the second biggest story

1806
01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:56,120
Speaker 1: this whole week, other than possible nuclear war with North Korea, right,

1807
01:37:56,120 --> 01:37:59,360
Speaker 1: which I will tell you I think is overstated but

1808
01:37:59,479 --> 01:38:03,160
Speaker 1: not come completely out of the realm of possibility. But

1809
01:38:03,240 --> 01:38:05,920
Speaker 1: the Google memo was such a big story because, as

1810
01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:07,920
Speaker 1: I've been saying to you, wherever you work or wherever

1811
01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:11,559
Speaker 1: your kids go to school, or you cannot be in

1812
01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:18,120
Speaker 1: this country now and be free of these progressive orthodox

1813
01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:21,680
Speaker 1: eyes or the progressive orthodox if you want to encapsulate

1814
01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:24,919
Speaker 1: it all onto one that tells you what are acceptable

1815
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,519
Speaker 1: political positions, what you can say, how you can say,

1816
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:31,000
Speaker 1: and how you speak to people, and what the hierarchy

1817
01:38:31,280 --> 01:38:36,040
Speaker 1: of victimization and hierarchy of power is in the modern

1818
01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:41,240
Speaker 1: corporate environment. And so it's turned into a situation where

1819
01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:45,080
Speaker 1: and I noticed myself even doing this with colleagues at

1820
01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:47,799
Speaker 1: different media networks when I talk to them, and unless

1821
01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:50,479
Speaker 1: there unless there's someone that I really trust and they're

1822
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:54,320
Speaker 1: a friend, you end up speaking in this. You know,

1823
01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 1: they used to they used to talk about news speak,

1824
01:38:56,640 --> 01:39:04,280
Speaker 1: you know, orwell would. It's the acceptable vocabulary and verbiage

1825
01:39:04,720 --> 01:39:08,439
Speaker 1: that's supposed to limit freedom of thought, and it is

1826
01:39:08,479 --> 01:39:10,800
Speaker 1: all part of the propaganda. It's this and this is

1827
01:39:10,840 --> 01:39:15,160
Speaker 1: why I wrote recently when there was a twitter uh

1828
01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:18,000
Speaker 1: question out there that I answered about five favorite books

1829
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:19,320
Speaker 1: for those of you who are wondering what. And it

1830
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:20,559
Speaker 1: was off the top of your head. So I didn't

1831
01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:22,600
Speaker 1: give it much. I didn't give it much thought. I

1832
01:39:22,640 --> 01:39:24,400
Speaker 1: didn't get it. It just was the first ones that

1833
01:39:24,400 --> 01:39:33,320
Speaker 1: came to mind, and it was Massi's biography of Peter

1834
01:39:33,439 --> 01:39:36,519
Speaker 1: the Great. Um. I'm actually trying to read it, so

1835
01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't fore see. I did it off the top

1836
01:39:37,800 --> 01:39:39,640
Speaker 1: of my head. I don't even remember what I wrote up.

1837
01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:41,920
Speaker 1: I have the best action movies. I'll get to that

1838
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:46,720
Speaker 1: in a second. Massey's autobiography, Peter the Great, Four, The

1839
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:50,080
Speaker 1: Last Lion, Bonfire, The Vanities, and Witness. Those were the

1840
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:53,679
Speaker 1: books that I put though is a must must read.

1841
01:39:54,200 --> 01:39:57,280
Speaker 1: I don't think, uh, that's the book that you you

1842
01:39:57,360 --> 01:39:59,400
Speaker 1: have to read. I mean it's you know, there's like

1843
01:39:59,439 --> 01:40:02,400
Speaker 1: the Bible and a couple of other books in right

1844
01:40:02,439 --> 01:40:05,160
Speaker 1: up there, um, in terms of you must read it.

1845
01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:07,920
Speaker 1: But they have news Speak, which is a form of

1846
01:40:07,960 --> 01:40:11,200
Speaker 1: speaking that's meant to be part of the propaganda and

1847
01:40:11,479 --> 01:40:14,360
Speaker 1: the office environment in America. I think you have uh,

1848
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:18,880
Speaker 1: you know, neutral speak, um, and that's not a good thing.

1849
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:21,839
Speaker 1: And it's the way that if you want to avoid

1850
01:40:22,360 --> 01:40:25,120
Speaker 1: any possibility of offense, and if you want to avoid

1851
01:40:25,200 --> 01:40:27,719
Speaker 1: any possibility of firing, if you want to stay away

1852
01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:32,760
Speaker 1: from the HR Department and the diversity thought police, you

1853
01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:37,240
Speaker 1: just learned to speak in this very uh uh oh,

1854
01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:42,879
Speaker 1: this way that is bereft of real connection. It's very formal,

1855
01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:46,519
Speaker 1: very mechanical, very how was your day? My day was fine.

1856
01:40:46,680 --> 01:40:49,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to work, Let's do this now,

1857
01:40:49,240 --> 01:40:52,280
Speaker 1: let's have a discussion. I find that the speech patterns

1858
01:40:52,560 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 1: among people in the office who are not friends, who

1859
01:40:55,120 --> 01:40:58,960
Speaker 1: are not close, are a little more cautious and robotic

1860
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:00,720
Speaker 1: than they used to be in the past past. I

1861
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:03,160
Speaker 1: think people are much less likely now than they were

1862
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:05,559
Speaker 1: ten years ago to crack a joke. I think people

1863
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:08,599
Speaker 1: are much less likely now than they were five years

1864
01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:12,680
Speaker 1: ago to share their thoughts on the day's events or

1865
01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:15,280
Speaker 1: what's going on in the world around them, unless they

1866
01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:19,280
Speaker 1: believe that they are surrounded by like minded progressives. But

1867
01:41:19,479 --> 01:41:21,920
Speaker 1: I think that in general as a rule, especially if

1868
01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:25,000
Speaker 1: you're a conservative, you are being boxed in and you

1869
01:41:25,040 --> 01:41:27,479
Speaker 1: know it. You're not allowed to tell people what you think.

1870
01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:32,679
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to uh share your thoughts and express yourself. Look,

1871
01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:36,640
Speaker 1: there's of course responsible and irresponsible office behavior, and this

1872
01:41:36,720 --> 01:41:38,640
Speaker 1: is part of the problem is that you know a

1873
01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:41,280
Speaker 1: guy saying, you know, hey, tut's you know, like like

1874
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:44,000
Speaker 1: your short dressed today? You know, you know that's not cool,

1875
01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:49,120
Speaker 1: that's inappropriate. But because that's not okay, doesn't mean hey,

1876
01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:52,519
Speaker 1: how you doing? You know, you look great? How's everything going?

1877
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:54,200
Speaker 1: What do you mean? What do you mean? I look great?

1878
01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:57,639
Speaker 1: Now this is not new. That whole political correctness culture

1879
01:41:57,880 --> 01:42:00,720
Speaker 1: really came into effect in the the eighties and and

1880
01:42:00,800 --> 01:42:03,120
Speaker 1: hit a kind of a peak in the nineties. But

1881
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:07,160
Speaker 1: now it's with social media and the shaming component in

1882
01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:10,800
Speaker 1: the echo chamber of it, it's gotten even worse. I

1883
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:13,240
Speaker 1: think it's worse than it's ever been. And so you

1884
01:42:13,240 --> 01:42:15,559
Speaker 1: have neutral speak. Now you have to find ways to

1885
01:42:15,640 --> 01:42:19,439
Speaker 1: communicate in an office setting, in an office environment such

1886
01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:22,559
Speaker 1: that you it's such that it's incapable for anyone to

1887
01:42:22,680 --> 01:42:25,400
Speaker 1: claim offense from what you're saying, so they can go

1888
01:42:25,439 --> 01:42:28,839
Speaker 1: to HR and complain about you. I have heard stories

1889
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:32,280
Speaker 1: about people getting fired from different getting fired, losing their job.

1890
01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:35,519
Speaker 1: I mean, that's really tough, it's humiliating, it's obviously creates

1891
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:37,920
Speaker 1: for a lot of people tremendous economic pressure right away.

1892
01:42:38,880 --> 01:42:41,400
Speaker 1: It's a mark on your record. I mean, getting fired

1893
01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:45,040
Speaker 1: is not fun. And people get fired for comments sometimes

1894
01:42:45,040 --> 01:42:47,559
Speaker 1: that I say, really, I mean a firing for that.

1895
01:42:48,520 --> 01:42:52,000
Speaker 1: So I think that these people who are in elevated positions,

1896
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:53,960
Speaker 1: going back to my initial premise, and we're making a

1897
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:56,559
Speaker 1: ton of money and have a lot of visibility, for

1898
01:42:56,600 --> 01:42:58,960
Speaker 1: them to act like jerks just makes it worse for

1899
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:03,360
Speaker 1: all the rest of us, because it means that now

1900
01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:05,479
Speaker 1: there is a sense that this is an epidemic, this

1901
01:43:05,560 --> 01:43:08,920
Speaker 1: is a plague that sexist or xenophobic, or racist or

1902
01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:14,000
Speaker 1: islamophobic or transphobic, insensitive speech in any in any place,

1903
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:17,840
Speaker 1: but particularly in the workplace needs to be policed. And

1904
01:43:17,880 --> 01:43:20,280
Speaker 1: that means now that we walk around and I feel

1905
01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:23,320
Speaker 1: like the every corporate office in America now is its

1906
01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:25,800
Speaker 1: own little totalitarian police state when it comes to the

1907
01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:28,360
Speaker 1: First Amendment, because you just don't know who's going to

1908
01:43:28,439 --> 01:43:31,959
Speaker 1: get offended. You just don't know who's going to decide

1909
01:43:31,960 --> 01:43:33,599
Speaker 1: that they don't like you and they want to even

1910
01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:36,679
Speaker 1: the score somehow, or they want to cause a scene

1911
01:43:36,760 --> 01:43:39,280
Speaker 1: because their work isn't good enough and they're looking for

1912
01:43:39,520 --> 01:43:42,439
Speaker 1: an excused and something that will make them unfire able

1913
01:43:42,439 --> 01:43:44,680
Speaker 1: if they go file a formal complaint. And so what

1914
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:48,360
Speaker 1: we're left with is neutral speak. Hello, good to talk

1915
01:43:48,400 --> 01:43:51,160
Speaker 1: to you. Let us do our work today. I hope

1916
01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:54,439
Speaker 1: that tomorrow's work also goes well. I will see you later.

1917
01:43:54,560 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 1: I will ask you no personal questions. I will make

1918
01:43:56,920 --> 01:44:00,719
Speaker 1: no normal human commentary. I know it sounds ridiculous, guys,

1919
01:44:00,720 --> 01:44:03,080
Speaker 1: but this is what's happening, and that's why it's happening

1920
01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:05,200
Speaker 1: across the country. And that's why I think the Google

1921
01:44:05,240 --> 01:44:08,720
Speaker 1: memo such a big story, because we're all getting well,

1922
01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:11,240
Speaker 1: at least everybody was not a progressive, getting really sick

1923
01:44:11,280 --> 01:44:13,680
Speaker 1: of it. All Right, we'll close out the show, will

1924
01:44:13,720 --> 01:44:15,599
Speaker 1: be right back, we'll team. I just wanted to update

1925
01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:18,320
Speaker 1: you on everything that's been going on with my move

1926
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 1: into my own little freedom hunt. I've I meant to

1927
01:44:22,520 --> 01:44:25,120
Speaker 1: post a photo last night of it, but I have

1928
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:28,960
Speaker 1: been searing meat left and right, because one I love meat,

1929
01:44:29,240 --> 01:44:32,120
Speaker 1: which is something you would know from listening to the show.

1930
01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:35,439
Speaker 1: But also, I finally have a kitchen that has burners

1931
01:44:35,479 --> 01:44:39,559
Speaker 1: that work and room to actually do some cooking. And

1932
01:44:39,680 --> 01:44:42,200
Speaker 1: I love cooking. I and I and some of you

1933
01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:43,760
Speaker 1: are gonna make fun of me for this too. And

1934
01:44:43,800 --> 01:44:45,639
Speaker 1: you know you wouldn't make fun of me for searing meat,

1935
01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:48,960
Speaker 1: because it's obviously amazing and it's what every good American

1936
01:44:49,400 --> 01:44:52,400
Speaker 1: should be doing whenever they get the chance. But I

1937
01:44:52,439 --> 01:44:56,280
Speaker 1: have enough room now to lay out a yoga mad

1938
01:44:56,439 --> 01:44:59,240
Speaker 1: and so that's right. I'm thinking about doing a little yoga,

1939
01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, because I'm a guy who likes to expand

1940
01:45:02,160 --> 01:45:05,240
Speaker 1: his mind and also would like to stop worrying about

1941
01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:07,160
Speaker 1: throwing his back out when he gets out of bed

1942
01:45:07,160 --> 01:45:09,760
Speaker 1: in the morning or having a pinched nerve in his

1943
01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:13,000
Speaker 1: neck from constantly staring at screens. So I'll let you

1944
01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:16,240
Speaker 1: know how that goes. But the change now is that

1945
01:45:16,280 --> 01:45:19,840
Speaker 1: I actually I have enough room in my New York

1946
01:45:19,880 --> 01:45:23,439
Speaker 1: City apartment to have a matt on the ground, so

1947
01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:25,840
Speaker 1: which not a big one, but just a matt. Before

1948
01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:27,320
Speaker 1: I really didn't have the space for it. So that

1949
01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:30,439
Speaker 1: should kind of tell you what it was like. Um,

1950
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:33,320
Speaker 1: somebody told me on Facebook message, and I do read

1951
01:45:33,320 --> 01:45:35,719
Speaker 1: those messages. So anytime you have a thought about the show,

1952
01:45:35,960 --> 01:45:37,960
Speaker 1: if you want to share, if you have a segment idea,

1953
01:45:38,040 --> 01:45:40,280
Speaker 1: by the way, if you if there's something you're like, Buck,

1954
01:45:40,320 --> 01:45:42,360
Speaker 1: I just really want a deep dive on the history

1955
01:45:42,560 --> 01:45:46,320
Speaker 1: of the original Assassins, for example, and I would say, well,

1956
01:45:46,360 --> 01:45:48,320
Speaker 1: I mean, of course I'll do that, and also read

1957
01:45:48,800 --> 01:45:51,840
Speaker 1: the Bernard Lewis book The Assassins gives you the history

1958
01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:54,880
Speaker 1: of the Assassins, Um. But if you have any segment, ideas,

1959
01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:57,680
Speaker 1: anything that you want in this show, it's important to

1960
01:45:57,680 --> 01:46:00,519
Speaker 1: me that that those of you who do me the

1961
01:46:00,560 --> 01:46:05,240
Speaker 1: honor of listening and being my my radio family and

Speaker 1: about topics, but even people will send me a story

1970

01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:41,800
Speaker 1: be on Facebook than on than on Twitter. So that's

1975
01:46:41,800 --> 01:46:43,360
Speaker 1: oh so back to the apartments. Yeah, I might. I

1976
01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:46,320
Speaker 1: might actually start doing a little yoga. I've decided. Molly

1977
01:46:46,439 --> 01:46:48,080
Speaker 1: has been talking to me, she says, she she's willing

1978
01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:51,639
Speaker 1: to do it with me, so I won't feel, you know, like,

1979
01:46:51,720 --> 01:46:54,320
Speaker 1: oh gosh, I have no idea what I'm doing. That

1980
01:46:54,400 --> 01:46:56,639
Speaker 1: first day syndrome for whether it was when I started

1981
01:46:56,680 --> 01:47:00,360
Speaker 1: doing cross fit or any number of active it's in

1982
01:47:00,400 --> 01:47:02,599
Speaker 1: recent years. You know, it never really goes away when

1983
01:47:02,600 --> 01:47:04,800
Speaker 1: you walk into a place and it's your first day

1984
01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:09,240
Speaker 1: and you don't really know. You don't really know like

1985
01:47:09,439 --> 01:47:12,880
Speaker 1: where the water cooler is, where the bathrooms are, Where

1986
01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:14,880
Speaker 1: are you supposed to sort of stand and wait, you know,

1987
01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:17,840
Speaker 1: if you're in the way. First day syndrome is is

1988
01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:20,479
Speaker 1: something that we all go through for so many in

1989
01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:23,479
Speaker 1: so many different ways. Um, but yeah, I might do

1990
01:47:23,479 --> 01:47:25,680
Speaker 1: a little. I might sure taking some yoga class. It's right,

1991
01:47:25,800 --> 01:47:27,320
Speaker 1: trying to stretch. I'll let you know how that goes.

1992
01:47:27,320 --> 01:47:29,360
Speaker 1: To give you some updates on that. Oh, but on

1993
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:34,760
Speaker 1: the meat searing, by the way, I I got some sirloin,

1994
01:47:34,920 --> 01:47:38,599
Speaker 1: some ground sirloin, and I got my uh my pan,

1995
01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:40,720
Speaker 1: my cast iron. And I do agree those of you

1996
01:47:40,800 --> 01:47:43,479
Speaker 1: who are cast iron snobs, you're like, you do not

1997
01:47:43,600 --> 01:47:46,920
Speaker 1: cook steak on a simple frying pan. You cook it

1998
01:47:46,920 --> 01:47:49,479
Speaker 1: on a cast iron. I think you're corrected. Is a

1999
01:47:49,560 --> 01:47:52,240
Speaker 1: much better way to do it. But I seared my

2000
01:47:52,320 --> 01:47:55,760
Speaker 1: burger and it was great. But I had read from

2001
01:47:55,800 --> 01:47:57,600
Speaker 1: a few chefs. I'm actually well, I actually watch a

2002
01:47:57,640 --> 01:48:00,679
Speaker 1: lot of cooking video. I watch workout videos and cooking videos.

2003
01:48:00,720 --> 01:48:02,120
Speaker 1: Those are the those are the things that I teach

2004
01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:06,880
Speaker 1: myself via the internet. Um. But one of them took

2005
01:48:06,960 --> 01:48:10,040
Speaker 1: some butter and just work some herbs into it. So

2006
01:48:10,040 --> 01:48:13,960
Speaker 1: you have herbed butter, and said, once you've seared both

2007
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:17,360
Speaker 1: sides and you think you've got about three or four

2008
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:20,280
Speaker 1: minutes left of cooking in that cast iron, put a

2009
01:48:20,280 --> 01:48:22,599
Speaker 1: piece of herbed butter on top of your burger. And

2010
01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:23,880
Speaker 1: I and I, you know, I felt a little bit

2011
01:48:23,920 --> 01:48:26,920
Speaker 1: like that's cheating. It's kind of like taking the melted

2012
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:29,559
Speaker 1: cheese option, which for burgers is great, but you know,

2013
01:48:29,600 --> 01:48:31,559
Speaker 1: you can melt cheese on pretty much anything, and it's

2014
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna taste pretty good. You know. You can just just

2015
01:48:33,720 --> 01:48:34,920
Speaker 1: melt some cheese on it, you know, and all of

2016
01:48:34,960 --> 01:48:37,679
Speaker 1: a sudden you're like, oh, that's a pretty good dish. Uh.

2017
01:48:37,720 --> 01:48:40,080
Speaker 1: I felt like it was cheating to have my herbed

2018
01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:42,519
Speaker 1: butter on my seared burger. I'm gonna tell you right now,

2019
01:48:42,600 --> 01:48:44,799
Speaker 1: those you're listening, this may be the most valuable information

2020
01:48:44,840 --> 01:48:48,120
Speaker 1: I give you all week. It's amazing. Use just really

2021
01:48:48,160 --> 01:48:51,600
Speaker 1: good uh salted on salted up to you, but some

2022
01:48:51,640 --> 01:48:53,720
Speaker 1: really good creamy butter, and you put it on top

2023
01:48:53,760 --> 01:48:55,840
Speaker 1: of that burger, and as it melts into it, you're

2024
01:48:55,840 --> 01:48:57,439
Speaker 1: just gonna be so happy. You're gonna be so happy.

2025
01:48:57,560 --> 01:49:00,479
Speaker 1: And if you get the proper sort of brown, you know,

2026
01:49:00,560 --> 01:49:02,880
Speaker 1: golden brown crust on the size of that burger and

2027
01:49:02,920 --> 01:49:05,960
Speaker 1: the butter melts into a little bit this look, there's

2028
01:49:06,040 --> 01:49:07,600
Speaker 1: there's reasons why we all get up out of bed

2029
01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:09,439
Speaker 1: every morning. I gotta tell you, I'm already looking forward

2030
01:49:09,479 --> 01:49:11,559
Speaker 1: to the next the next time I get to see

2031
01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:14,120
Speaker 1: a really good burger and I'm gonna throw butter on it.

2032
01:49:14,120 --> 01:49:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's cheating a little bit. And

2033
01:49:16,080 --> 01:49:18,280
Speaker 1: to tell you the full truth here and nothing about

2034
01:49:18,280 --> 01:49:22,760
Speaker 1: the truth. I even put some truffled cheese on it

2035
01:49:22,840 --> 01:49:25,200
Speaker 1: at the very end too, So I went I went

2036
01:49:25,439 --> 01:49:27,680
Speaker 1: hard last night, like I went after it. You know,

2037
01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:30,759
Speaker 1: I was not messing around. But this is just enjoying

2038
01:49:30,760 --> 01:49:33,679
Speaker 1: my new space and having some Oh, if you have restare,

2039
01:49:33,720 --> 01:49:35,519
Speaker 1: if you have recipes for me by the way that

2040
01:49:35,560 --> 01:49:38,120
Speaker 1: you think, if you have a not just a whole recipe,

2041
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:40,040
Speaker 1: but if you have a secret for a simple dish,

2042
01:49:40,439 --> 01:49:42,519
Speaker 1: like I've told people, I'm gonna let you know this

2043
01:49:42,600 --> 01:49:45,200
Speaker 1: right now, my secret for why why are my scrambled

2044
01:49:45,200 --> 01:49:49,439
Speaker 1: eggs better than the scrambled eggs out there? It's very simple.

2045
01:49:49,760 --> 01:49:52,559
Speaker 1: Instead of trying to adjust the heat because you'll just

2046
01:49:52,560 --> 01:49:54,720
Speaker 1: cook them too quickly, you have to move the pan

2047
01:49:54,880 --> 01:49:57,439
Speaker 1: on and off the flame at different stages in the

2048
01:49:57,439 --> 01:50:00,240
Speaker 1: cooking process, and you've got to be very attentive over

2049
01:50:00,280 --> 01:50:02,479
Speaker 1: cooking eggs can happen the blink of an eye. You

2050
01:50:02,560 --> 01:50:05,040
Speaker 1: gotta move that pan on and off the heat, move

2051
01:50:05,080 --> 01:50:08,200
Speaker 1: it to a burner that is not on, and do

2052
01:50:08,240 --> 01:50:10,240
Speaker 1: whatever you do whatever you gotta do, including even just

2053
01:50:10,280 --> 01:50:11,800
Speaker 1: letting it cool down a little bit while you mix

2054
01:50:11,880 --> 01:50:14,639
Speaker 1: in whatever you're mixing in or so that's that's that's

2055
01:50:14,640 --> 01:50:16,639
Speaker 1: a secret if you have any amazing tips like that,

2056
01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:19,479
Speaker 1: but only for things that I'm actually gonna eat, you know,

2057
01:50:19,600 --> 01:50:24,360
Speaker 1: So keep that tofu and soy stuff sight tan, you know,

2058
01:50:25,080 --> 01:50:27,559
Speaker 1: save that for save that for the Huffington Post hosts.

2059
01:50:27,600 --> 01:50:30,439
Speaker 1: That That's not how I roll here. So with that,

2060
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:32,439
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this weekend, I'm gonna try to be

2061
01:50:32,479 --> 01:50:35,800
Speaker 1: doing some some cooking. I might even Uh, I might

2062
01:50:35,840 --> 01:50:38,160
Speaker 1: even get a slow cooker. That's right, I might get

2063
01:50:38,160 --> 01:50:40,920
Speaker 1: a slow cooker. Everybody. I'm looking forward to trying to

2064
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:43,640
Speaker 1: dabble in that because I really want to have braised

2065
01:50:43,680 --> 01:50:47,200
Speaker 1: meats as part of my repertoire of what I can cook.

2066
01:50:48,040 --> 01:50:49,800
Speaker 1: I hope you have a great weekend plan, whether it's

2067
01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:52,200
Speaker 1: barbecuing or just chilling out. I mean, obviously we're in

2068
01:50:52,240 --> 01:50:54,559
Speaker 1: August here, and I know a lot of people get

2069
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:56,360
Speaker 1: to take some time off, hang with the family. Maybe

2070
01:50:56,360 --> 01:50:58,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it a little traveling, you know, really

2071
01:50:58,960 --> 01:51:01,760
Speaker 1: enjoy it. Uh. The older I get, the more I

2072
01:51:01,800 --> 01:51:05,559
Speaker 1: feel like, Uh, enjoyment is an active process. I used

2073
01:51:05,560 --> 01:51:09,320
Speaker 1: to think it was passive, but rest can be passive.

2074
01:51:09,400 --> 01:51:11,599
Speaker 1: But true joy, true enjoyment I feel like you have

2075
01:51:12,120 --> 01:51:14,519
Speaker 1: is a more active process because you have to allow

2076
01:51:14,560 --> 01:51:17,240
Speaker 1: yourself to enjoy it. You have to shut off the phone,

2077
01:51:17,640 --> 01:51:21,920
Speaker 1: stop the work emails, stop stressing about those bills. You know,

2078
01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:26,439
Speaker 1: it actually becomes something that you you have to be

2079
01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:29,559
Speaker 1: engaged in. You you have to be engaged in enjoying

2080
01:51:29,600 --> 01:51:32,160
Speaker 1: yourself in some way. This is just this is what

2081
01:51:32,240 --> 01:51:33,519
Speaker 1: I find. I don't know if you agree or not,

2082
01:51:33,560 --> 01:51:35,800
Speaker 1: but you have to make not an effort, but you

2083
01:51:35,880 --> 01:51:40,160
Speaker 1: have to consciously allow yourself to have fun and allow

2084
01:51:40,200 --> 01:51:42,760
Speaker 1: yourself to because otherwise you'll just be staring at your phone,

2085
01:51:42,800 --> 01:51:45,280
Speaker 1: thinking about work and stressing about you know, your aunt

2086
01:51:45,280 --> 01:51:47,840
Speaker 1: Ethel and how she wants you to visit more and whatever. Right,

2087
01:51:48,439 --> 01:51:50,840
Speaker 1: So I hope you really allow yourself to recharge of

2088
01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:52,680
Speaker 1: the weekend. We're gonna have a lot of stuff to

2089
01:51:52,720 --> 01:51:54,720
Speaker 1: talk about next week in the hut. Already got lots

2093
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:05,120
Speaker 1: going up because of you. We don't have an ad campaign.

2102
01:52:28,439 --> 01:52:30,280
Speaker 1: to do yoga once a week now, but no, really,

2103
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:33,679
Speaker 1: every day I do this show, that's my My primary

2104
01:52:33,720 --> 01:52:36,400
Speaker 1: concern for the day is how do I how do

2105
