1 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. The shutdown continues. My friends, 2 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: it looks like neither side is going to blink. Federal 3 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: workers miss a paycheck. We're hearing a lot of stories. 4 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: But what that means for them? Plus Democrats and the 5 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: Senate engaging in anti Catholic bigotry, perhaps as a prelude 6 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: to the fight over a looming Supreme Court seat, we'll 7 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: talk about any more coming up on the buck Sexton Show. 8 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or 9 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 10 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: Make no mistake America, you're a great American. Again, The 11 00:00:52,080 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show begins. The build before us will certainly 12 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: do some good. They will authorize some badly needed funding 13 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: for better fences and better security along our borders. Look, 14 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: I voted numerous times when I was a Senator to 15 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: spend money to build a barrier six hundred thirty miles 16 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: of board offense that create a significant barrier to illegal 17 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: immigration offense will stop twenty keyloads of cocaine coming through 18 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: that fence. I'm deeply opposed to illegal immigration, and I 19 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: call on the federal government, the President, in the Immigration 20 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: services to stop the inflood of illegal immigrants into this country. 21 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: The Democrats, which I've been saying all along, they don't 22 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,199 Speaker 1: give a damn about grime. They don't care about grime. 23 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: They don't care about gang members coming in and stabbing 24 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: people and cutting people up. We're spending a fortune on 25 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: trying to stop drugs and they pour in through the border. 26 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: But I see it more now than ever before. Democrats 27 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: don't care about the border and they don't care about prime. 28 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. I know it's Friday, 29 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: and we're I promise we're gonna have some fun later 30 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: on in the show and we're gonna loosen things up 31 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: a bit, but we had to start there with just 32 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: I mean, the Democrats are just lying their faces off, 33 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: they really are. You know, walls don't work. What you had, 34 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: you had Schumer, Hillary Obama all talking about barriers and fences, 35 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,119 Speaker 1: and that's the whole that's what this whole discussions about. 36 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: Now they're pretending like that that means it's nothing. And 37 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: you know, there's one part of this that I haven't 38 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: really drilled down into. As we're in the midst of 39 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: this shutdown, and I know that federal employees are not 40 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: going without a paycheck for the first time. The part 41 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: of this is that it's not Yes, there's huge political 42 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: implications of this for twenty twenty. Yes, it matters a 43 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: lot that we tackle the crisis. It is a crisis 44 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: at the border, that we deal with this. But then 45 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: there's also how how can we have any faith in 46 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: discussions about politics and policy in this country If as 47 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: Americans we can't even trust the other side to agree 48 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: that a wall works, what can we trust them with 49 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: If there's going to be this fundamentally false premise that 50 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: is relied upon by so many millions and millions of people, 51 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: and the power apparatus and the meeting the Democratic Party 52 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: that all of a sudden, offense is not really offense. 53 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: You know, a chair is not really a chair. This 54 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: is what our politics has devolved into. We were having 55 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: these conversations full of sophistry and insanity, and it really 56 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: just is because Democrats are driven by emotions and desire 57 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: for power, and they don't care how foolish this whole 58 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: thing sounds. I have people still that look at me 59 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: and said, walls don't work. I look, this is such 60 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: a dumb thing to say, and look at the way 61 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: that the tone the conversation has transformed. If you had 62 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: said a year ago even or maybe three two, three 63 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: years ago before Trump came into office. But you know, 64 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: during the Obama administration, if somebody had said build a wall, 65 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: and when Trump was running for president, someone said, you know, 66 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: build a wall, it was oh, that's so done, and 67 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: everyone clap. You know, yeah, that's right. That's such a 68 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: stupid thing to say. Now that we're thinking about it 69 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: and spending time looking at the issue, talking to actual experts. 70 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: By the way, I am going to the border next week. 71 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: I will be at a wall next week. I will 72 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: be at a border meeting with border patrol, going all 73 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: over the place, doing a lot of on the ground reporting. 74 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: So the show will continue, obviously, I'll be doing the 75 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: show from the West coast next week, but we're starting Tuesday. 76 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: But I'm really looking forward to getting ground truth because 77 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: these people are just lying to me all the time 78 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: in the media. I know they're lying, but I'm just 79 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: amazed at how brazen they are, you know, brazen they 80 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: are about it. They just don't care, just like Trump said, 81 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: they don't care about crime that they have. They have 82 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: no real concerns about any of the stuff that's going 83 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: on in the border. It's fine for them, it's fine. 84 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: They pretend to care, but we know that they don't. 85 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: You just hear insanely stupid things on TV from people 86 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,239 Speaker 1: who whose job is to go on TV and sound 87 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: smart insanely dumb things. Here's over at over at MSNBC. 88 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: Here's I don't know who this is, Maria Hinojosah, don't 89 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: know who this is, saying that nine to eleven told 90 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: us something very important about walls. This might surprise you. 91 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: Plick clip five. You sound like you don't think the 92 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: Democratic response was as robust as it could have been, 93 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: because the problem with the Democratic response is they are 94 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: continuing to play into this terrative of oh my god, 95 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: border security. Border security, guys, I've been talking about this 96 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: story for thirty years. For thirty years, there's been the 97 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: neurosis about border security. The greatest terrorist attack in our 98 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: country did not happen because someone crossed that border. It 99 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: happened in our city because they got off of planes. 100 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: So there it begins to feel like the wheels are 101 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: just spinning, spinning, spinning, talking about border security. That's just 102 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: that's just a non sequitur. You know, this is this 103 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: is bringing something in the conversation has nothing to do 104 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: with anything. No one is saying that our son, our 105 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: southern barriers would stop all terrorist attacks. Maybe it wouldn't 106 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: even stop any terrorist attacks. It doesn't matter. But there 107 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: there is as you see it now, there's this desperation 108 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: because there is a focus on the issue now we 109 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: are talking about it. Trump has taken the message to 110 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: the American people that there's all these different all there's this, 111 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: and there's that. There's all these reasons that they pretend 112 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: to exist for why you shouldn't do this, and you 113 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: knock them down one by one. We already have barriers 114 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: and fences along hundreds of miles of our border. We 115 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: already know that those barriers and fences have dramatically improved 116 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: security at those parts of the border. We already know 117 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,679 Speaker 1: that there has been bipartisan legislation passed in the last 118 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: decade or so to build an entire barrier system along 119 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: our southern border. You know, we have border patrol agents 120 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: at the very highest level, down to the rank and file, 121 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: telling us this is what they want and it would 122 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: be helpful other countries. Israel among them, have built incredibly 123 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: effective barrier systems that have dramatically improved their security. Schumer 124 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: voted for twenty five billion dollars a year ago for 125 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: border security. Now they're saying five billion is too much. 126 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: One billion they're saying is too much. A dollar is 127 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: too much. Just you this out and what are we 128 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: What are they even talking about? They might as well 129 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: be pushing around a shopping cart with with gibberish written 130 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: on cardboard. This is not even a real debate, that's 131 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: not even a real argument. They just keep saying things. 132 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: I'm hearing that baap, but no intellectual half, no seriousness 133 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: behind it whatsoever. And I think that there's a desperation 134 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: that is creeping up in their minds. Because even if 135 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: they just hold the line on this and say sorry, 136 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: not going to give you any money for it, I 137 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: think that Trumps has changed minds. He's certainly changed the 138 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: conversation on this one. And we've just seen that the 139 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: Democrats are the party of lawlessness and a broken border. Fine, 140 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: we can't say open border because they want to process 141 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: the illegals that come in and make sure that they 142 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: get state benefits on Obamacare, So it's not a totally 143 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: open border. They're going to slow people down before they 144 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: give them taxpayer funded goodies. But it's a broken border, 145 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: and they like it that way. They prefer the broken system. 146 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: They do not want a fixed system that keeps people out. 147 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: Every country in the world enforces its borders, we somehow 148 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: are not allowed to every other country says you come, 149 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: you can't, you go, you stay. We're not allowed to 150 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: do that. We're mean people. If we do that, we're 151 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: bad people, all of us. Doesn't matter what's your skin color, 152 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: what's your ethnicity, what's your religion, if you aren't in 153 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: favor of perpetuating this broken system where we are being exploited. 154 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: The American people are being exploited by one political faction 155 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: that knows that we are a goodhearted people that bring 156 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: in a million legal immigrants every year, and we're happy 157 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 1: for the legal immigrants who are coming into this country. 158 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: We welcome into our family. But they use that good 159 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: natured approach that the American people overwhelmingly share to push 160 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: this issue on us and say it has to be 161 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: even more more people. Illegal people, people who come into 162 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: the country, illegals who commit crimes, shouldn't even be deported 163 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: deportation is breaking up families. I mean, it's just all 164 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: this rhetoric and lies and smears and slime. Ough Pelosi 165 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: and Schumer and the whole Democrat gang. They are gross. 166 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: And I'm happy that if nothing else that has been 167 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: exposed for anyone with their with their eyes open, we've 168 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: seen what's really what's really happening here. And now that 169 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: all said, the Trump Trump understands that this is rough 170 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: on on some federal employees. And I know a lot 171 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: of people live paycheck to paycheck. I I lived paycheck 172 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: to paycheck. I know what that's like. Not fun. But 173 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: this is Trump's message for those federal employees play twenty oh, 174 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: we don't have it well, He says, many many federal 175 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: employees agree with what we're doing. They don't want to 176 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: see people killed because we can't do a simple border structure. 177 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: Everyone will be paid, we have no choice. That's what 178 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: the President said, and that's an important thing for him 179 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: to say. I understand that people that work for the 180 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: federal government have this idea that you know, they will 181 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: be they have employment forever. I mean that was kind 182 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: of the sense when I was there too, and that 183 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: there'll always be that paycheck, and that's one of the 184 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: advantages of working for the federal government. But Trump is saying, Look, 185 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: even those people that are suffering hardship, and the hardship 186 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: is real who work for the federal government, understand that 187 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: this is a critical issue. We have to get control 188 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: of this. There are literally lives hanging in the balance, 189 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: and they are going to be paid. They will be 190 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone has any doubt there will be paid. 191 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: So people keeps saying to be shown to show up 192 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: for work and not be paid. I've had lots of 193 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: times in my life where I wasn't, you know, paid 194 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: on time, or I didn't get the check when I 195 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: was told I was going to get the check. As 196 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: long as you get it in a reasonable time frame, 197 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: you kind of just move on with your life, right. 198 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: I've had plenty of times where I've had to, you know, 199 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 1: cha chase down one employer or another for money that 200 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: I was out. I mean, this is not unheard of 201 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: for any of us. They will be paid, So I 202 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: think that's also an important part of this. That's something 203 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: that we shouldn't allow to get way, you know, get 204 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: all out of control with the media narrative about this, 205 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: and ultimately I think that Trump is is doing pretty good, 206 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: pretty a pretty good job of making this case. He's 207 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: just Democratic representative from Minnesota discussing where his district is 208 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: on the wall. This might surprise him, he played play 209 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: clip nine. They are concerned about the trade situation, but 210 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: from what I can tell, they're still hanging with the president. Today, 211 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: we got sixty seven calls for building the wall and 212 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: five agains. So challenge to me, like, he's still pretty popular. 213 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: And yet I hear from lib journals all the time, 214 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: America overwhelming we disagrees with the world doesn't want a wall. 215 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: Based on what one thing that you see the left 216 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: do a lot and the journalists of the left, which 217 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: you know is one of the same. One thing that 218 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: they they do with great frequency, is this appeal to 219 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: imaginary experts. Right, Oh, I have some super secret geniuses 220 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: or some incredible data that I'm just going to refer 221 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: to and hope that you don't call me out on 222 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: it because it doesn't really exist. You know, all the 223 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: studies say, all the polls say, experts, I love this 224 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: one in the border. Experts say walls don't work. That's 225 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: not true. I hear it all the time. People say 226 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: it on TV all the time. It's not true. There 227 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: are I have yet to meet an actual expert on 228 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: border security who says that a barrier does not work 229 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: because they know that they would be clowned if they 230 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: said it, because I would have then border patrol from 231 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: San Diego sector, who I'm gonna go see you next week. 232 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: They'd say, no. This has helped us tremendously. Here are 233 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: the stats to prove it. It's no question. It's no 234 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: question they're lying to you, and they're lying for a reason. 235 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: So I just wanted to dig into some of this. 236 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: And we'll have some of our friends joining us on 237 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: the show today that you'll be familiar with them. Sure, 238 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly. Maybe Jesse Kelly. He's only seven foot three, 239 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: so he's got that going for him, which is nice. 240 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: And then we also have I think Benny Johnson from 241 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: The Daily Caller might join us for some fun that 242 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: we got an expert from the Center Frommigration Studies who's 243 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: gonna be calling in. It's gonna be just a good 244 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: solid Freedom Haught Friday extravaganzas. So strap in team, we'll 245 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: be right back. Congress should do this if they can't 246 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: do it. I will declare a national emergency. I have 247 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: the absolute right to do it. It says as clear 248 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: as you can now what will happen. I'll be sued, 249 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: it will be brought to the Ninth Circuit, and maybe 250 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: even though the wording is unambiguous, just like with the 251 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: travel ban, it'll be appealed to the Ninth Circuit and 252 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: we'll probably lose their two and then hopefully we'll win 253 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: in the Supreme Court. They'll always bring it to the 254 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: Ninth Circuit, and then you never know what's going to 255 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: come out of the Ninth Circuit, and you never know 256 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: what's going to come out on appeal. But fortunately we 257 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: have a Supreme Court that's treated us very fairly. We 258 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: have a country that is under siege. You could actually, 259 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: you know a lot of people don't like the word invasion. 260 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: If we have a country that's being invaded by criminals 261 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: and by drug and we're going to stop it. So 262 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: I want the Democrats to come back to Washington and vote. 263 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Strong messaging from the President. He's right, 264 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: and he knows it, and he's also right about how 265 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: this is going to go down. If he does declare 266 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: a national emergency. They will excuse me, they will find 267 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: some way to pretend that that's, you know, beyond his authority. 268 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: You know, there's the truth is that the Democrat approached 269 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: the law is to just question what every word in 270 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: every statute means as a form of lawfare, right, so 271 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: that they can read the statute the statue. You can 272 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: say the president may, in his authority, declare a state 273 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: of emergency, and they will say, well, what is a state? 274 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: What is an emergency? What is a president? I mean, 275 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: this is this is nonsense, but unfortunately it works because 276 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: they don't operate in good faith on these issues. It 277 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: was very clear that the president had the right to 278 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: institute what became known as the travel ban. It was 279 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: very obvious that the president, under his executi authority could 280 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: do this, but a lot of judges pretended that he 281 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: couldn't just because they didn't like it. Don't like don't 282 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: like not legal. That's the way they approach it. Do 283 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: I have some concerns about a national emergency? What? Absolutely? 284 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: I have concerns because Democrats are nuts. Democrats are wackos. Now, 285 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: they don't operate in the same universe that many of 286 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: the rest of us, Do they really, Yes, there will 287 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: be a national emergency on climate change, a national emergency 288 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: on you know, they're going to go from the war 289 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: on all these things, you know, the war on poverty, 290 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: the war on guns or gun violence, you know, to 291 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: a national emergency for all these things. And that's going 292 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: to be a future that well, you know the problemly see, 293 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: here's the thing. I'm actually just catching myself and thinking 294 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: about this. We're thinking to ourselves, oh, well, if Trump 295 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: does it, then the president will be said me, want 296 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: to look what Obama did. He shredded the constitution and 297 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: overreaches an executive many times on massive policy issues, rewrote 298 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: Obamacare in real time, and they did all kinds of stuff. 299 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: So it's not like if Trump doesn't declare national emergency, 300 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 1: they won't don't do it anyway. So I'm starting to think, 301 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: you know what, declare that national emergency. Man, go for it. 302 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: Let's do this. Let's win on this one. Let's get 303 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: a win. How about that. I agree with the president. 304 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: He's doing this thing. Right, we come back, I'll talk 305 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: to you about my latest making fun of CNN moment 306 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: that's coming up. And as a sign of the times, 307 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: in this debate on the shutdown. CNN asked if Kusi 308 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: would provide a reporter to offer our local view of 309 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: the debate, especially to learn if the wall works in 310 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: San Diego. Kusi offered our own damn plan, who's reported 311 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: many times that the wall is not an issue here. 312 00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: In fact, most IS officials believe it is. Effective. Issue 313 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: we face is the migrants and the debate over their treatments. 314 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: Now knowing this, CNN declined to have us on their programs, 315 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: which often present the wall as not required in other places, 316 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 1: like the stretch of the Texas Sport of the president 317 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: visit earlier today. They didn't like what they heard from us. 318 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: It's just some background for you. Oh look at that, folks. 319 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: You mean you mean to tell me hold on a second, 320 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: you mean that. CNN reached out to a local news 321 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: station that covers the San Diego border and border wall 322 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: all the time, and when they found out that, you know, 323 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: they wanted to have somebody to talk to me about this. 324 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: And when they found out that this is a local 325 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: news station, it's not some not a Fox affiliate or 326 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: anything else. When they found out this local news station 327 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: says things like the wall works, all of a sudden, 328 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: CNN's like, yeah, I don't want to be a part 329 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: of this. They had no interest in them anymore, no 330 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: interest at all. I know this is not any kind 331 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: of surprise to you, right, we all know that CNN 332 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: is perpetuating a giant and continuing journalistic fraud by pretending 333 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: that they don't have any kind of opinions and they're 334 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: not pushing an agenda. I mean, that's it's laughable, right, 335 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: it's it's it's dumb. But I just like it when 336 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: when we finally get to hear it from fellow from 337 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: some fellow journalists who have nothing, no dog in this 338 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 1: fight other than just hey, you know, kind of interesting. 339 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: CNN disappeared on us after we agreed to help them 340 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: and provide insight to them. But they don't they don't 341 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: want to hear it, you know, they don't want to 342 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: hear it. And uh, that's that's really where where the 343 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: conversation has gone. Now. People are on the left retreating 344 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: into these little intellectual bunkers where they can have the 345 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: usual suspects, you know, making fun of conservatives, saying that 346 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: the wall is unnecessary, just just feeding them the stuff 347 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: that they want to hear. Not the stuff that's true. 348 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: The stuff that's true doesn't really matter to them. The 349 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: stuff that's true somehow gets you know, gets swept aside, 350 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: and all of this. They just want to be told 351 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: what they want to be told. And that's what you 352 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: see with CNN. You see this happening in a whole 353 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: bunch of places right now. Speaking of seeing, and also 354 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: you know, they were trying to have a debate last 355 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: night with Steve Cortez, who I've actually done some hits 356 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: with it Fox. I've also worked with Anna Vara over there. 357 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: I think she's the worst public policy analyst and talking 358 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: head on television, and that's that's saying a lot, but 359 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: I think she may actually be the single worst one, 360 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: the least insightful, the least intellectual. She's nasty, she's snide, 361 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: she's she's honestly a not a nice person from my 362 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: interactions with her, and not good at her job. But 363 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: CNN loves her because she plays this character on TV 364 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: for them, and and they and their audience thinks that 365 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: she's you know, feisty and brilliant or I don't know 366 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: what they think because they're idiots. But she while Steve 367 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: Cortez is trying to talk to her about the about 368 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: angel families and about the losses that have happened because 369 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 1: the government, our government has failed in its duty to 370 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: secure the borders. It's meant that people have died because 371 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: of illegal aliens that have you know, drunk driving, criminally 372 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: negligent homicide, emist, their teen murders, all kinds of stuff 373 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: that's going on here. And this is this is how 374 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: this exchange went play six. Even if that's fake, it's fake, 375 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: it's fake newss. Okay, say that it's equal to the 376 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: real data. It's not bs. But even if I were 377 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: to even if I were to grant you that, Okay, 378 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: the point is, the illegal aliens crime rate should be zero. 379 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: It should be you can do your nails. You know 380 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: who can't do their nails are people who've been killed 381 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: Anna by dangerous, known illegal aliens who've been allowed to 382 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: stay in this country because of the leftist policies that 383 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: people like you promote. Steve Cortez is pretty pretty competent pundit. 384 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: I gotta say I think Steve does a good job. 385 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: I don't. I got no beef with Steve at all. 386 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 1: A nice guy does a good job. You know, he's 387 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: he's a conservative, and he's over at CNN, so he's 388 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: just taken all kinds of all kinds of nonsense all 389 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: the time. I know what that's like. But Anna Navarro, 390 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: you didn't even really hear her there. She kind of 391 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: just sighed. She started fighting. He's talking about people dying 392 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: from illegal immigrants. Anna Navar starts filing her nails on TV, 393 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: which is I would note so disrespectful. If I did 394 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: something like that to Na Navarro. Oh my gosh, they 395 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: would say it's racist. They would say, you know, all 396 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: these other things. But they make they make all these 397 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: all these these special rules up for their preferred libs 398 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: on TV. They can act like they can act in 399 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: such a rude fashion and act in such a nasty 400 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: way and never face the conquence because CNN's a joke. 401 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: It's a joke. They should just be honest about what 402 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: they are now. I mean, you know, they still are 403 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: coasting on this this brand of the real place for 404 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: TV journalism. But it's no it's no longer a truth. 405 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: If it ever was a truth, which I would argue 406 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: it was never true. It's just gotten a lot less 407 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: true now. But they've been so harmful in this discussion 408 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: about the border and what's really going on there and 409 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: what the truth is of border security measures that Trump 410 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: is trying is trying to push and and they're they're 411 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: so nasty about it all too. That's why I like, 412 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: when I don't know how many I know a lot 413 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: of you aren't on Twitter, but there's this meme with 414 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: Jim Acosta whatever, Jim Acosta starts making stories about himself, 415 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: which is all that guy does. I mean, he's really 416 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: a buffoon. He doesn't he doesn't seem very smart at all. Uh. 417 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: Whenever he does, though, people will tweet dear diary at him, 418 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: dear diary, and then then whatever Jim Acosta is thinking 419 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: is the whole point is that it's another they'll respond 420 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: to Jim Acosta, so it's like a dear it's like 421 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: a diar re entry from him. President Trump did that 422 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: to him on Twitter yesterday. I mean, it's amazing, it's amazing, 423 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: and from what I understand Acosta today, I read Acost 424 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: today said, you know, thank you, sarcastically to the President 425 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: for doing that. But I'm glad we have a president 426 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: who calls them out for this this stuff. I'm glad 427 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: we were a president who doesn't just justesn't just sit 428 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: back and let the media run around and act like 429 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 1: a bunch of spoiled brats all the time, because that's 430 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: what they are. And somebody should finally tell you, know, 431 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 1: you notice for a while, we haven't heard. Oh, the 432 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: Trump is beating up so much on the media and 433 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: he's making it dangerous for us. It's not dangerous for 434 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: the media. It's just stupid. That's always that's always been 435 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: a cry baby point. Yeah, any job can be dangerous. 436 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: Maniacts and come after you at any job, manis and 437 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: come after you because they're just get obsessed with you 438 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: when you walk out your front door. You know, you 439 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: never know. But the media loves loves to run around 440 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: and act like they're just so brave. I want to 441 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: talk to you about how the Democrats are engaging in 442 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: Democrats in the Senate, for example, engaging in anti Catholic 443 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: bigotry that ties right into the looming battle of the 444 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. It's important story that's coming up. The Democratic 445 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: Party has a problem with traditional believing Christians, There's no 446 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: question about it, okay, And I know that a lot 447 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: of people would say oh buck, But what about this, 448 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: you know, social justice pastor here, or what about this. 449 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that all of them do, but there's 450 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: clearly an issue. If you are a rabid anti Christian atheist, 451 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: chances are you're a Democrat, not always, but generally speaking. 452 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: And if you're going to look for government policy that 453 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,479 Speaker 1: tramples on religious freedom, whether it's suing the Little Sisters 454 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: of the poor, or forcing people to take down a 455 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: cross that was put along the side of a highway 456 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: to commemorate somebody getting killed there, or you know, any 457 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: number of things, it comes from the left. The left 458 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: is where hostility to Christian and traditional Jewish faith comes from. 459 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: Not to know Islamic faith, no Islamic faith. They have 460 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: no hostility at all, and they have no problem with it. 461 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: Which is a whole other discussion that ties into intersectionality 462 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: and identity politics and the way that the left views 463 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: Islam is a non white religion and therefore it's inherently 464 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: in a religion of the oppressed, even though it's the 465 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: second largest religion in the world and it's the majority 466 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: religion in Gosh, I don't even forty fifty countries. Something 467 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: like that. Maybe sixty countries. So that's that's just a 468 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: bit of a underlying premise that I wanted to put 469 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,199 Speaker 1: out there before I get into this story, because you know, 470 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: things are going to get as soon as we find 471 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: out that Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and I really do believe 472 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: it if she Heaven forbid, if something happens to her, 473 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: but she is still you know, she could be incapacitated 474 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: in some way, and the Libs will say that she's still, 475 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: you know, sitting on the Supreme Court, and that's that. 476 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: It does not matter. They are absolutely all in on 477 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: Ruth Bader Ginsburg until there's a new president. They don't 478 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 1: care what they don't care what they have to do, 479 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: but they're also preparing for the fight that they might 480 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 1: not be able to stop from happening, which would occur 481 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: if there is a vacancy that opens up. But maybe 482 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: it's not Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Maybe it's another vacancy, Maybe 483 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: another Supreme Court justice gets gets tired, wants to go 484 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: fly fish. Who knows, but Kamala Harris, who is now 485 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: I think considered by a lot of insider types at 486 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: least the front runner for the Democrat twenty twenty nomination. 487 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: The front runner status is going to change hundreds of 488 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: times between now and the actual primary, but she has 489 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: shown us a side of her that is indicative of 490 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: where the Democrats are many on many issues that deal 491 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: with Catholics who believe in Catholic doctrine, and I will 492 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: not get into a long, a long discussion right now 493 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: about I don't know how Catholics vote for Nancy Pelosi. 494 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: I don't know how Catholics vote for Joe Biden. I 495 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: don't understand if you really believe, you know, if you're 496 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: somebody who believes, and if you're a Catholic and you 497 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: believe in Church doctrine and you believe in the dogma, 498 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: then you would have to be pro life. You would 499 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: have to be for traditional marriages between a man and 500 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: a woman. And so I don't know how people who 501 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: think those things believe those things and think that they're 502 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: moral issues of especially on the life issue. The marriage 503 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: issue I think is as fuzzier for a lot of people. 504 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: But on the issue of life, I don't know how 505 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: that doesn't. I don't I really mean that, I don't 506 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: know what these A lot of these Catholics that I 507 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: know are thinking and you get these Catholics that are 508 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: all about open borders and social justice, and I'm like, wait, 509 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: what what's going on here? You're going to support the 510 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: party that is for all kinds of just outright immorality. Anyway, 511 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris posed a series of questions recently to Brian Boucher, 512 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: who is President Trump's nominee for the District Court in Nebraska. 513 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: Here's her third question. Since nineteen ninety three, you have 514 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: been a member of the Knights of Columbus, an all 515 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: male society comprised primarily of Catholic men. In twenty sixteen, 516 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: Carl Anderson, leader of the Knights of Columbus, described abortion 517 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: as a legal regime that has resulted in more than 518 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: forty million deaths. Mister Anderson went on to said abortion 519 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: is the killing of the innocent on a massive scale. 520 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: Were you aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed a 521 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: woman's right to choose when you joined the organization? Harris 522 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: wasn't finished there. She followed up with quote, were you 523 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed marriage equality when 524 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: you joined the organization? And have you in any way 525 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: ever assisted with or contributed to advocacy against women's reproductive rights. 526 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: This is bigotry, by the way, This is anti Catholic 527 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: bigotry that is on display. And Democrats do this all 528 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: the time. They did this with what was her name, 529 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: Feinstein saying the dogma lives strongly within you to to 530 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: a nominee not that long ago, who was a Catholic. 531 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: And what you see here is, first of all, I 532 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: mean the hostility to the Knights of Columbus. The Knights 533 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: of Columbus is a is the largest fraternal Catholic organization 534 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: I think that there is. It's got two million members, 535 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: was founded by a priest in Connecticut, I believe memory 536 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: serves back in eighteen eighty one a parish meeting and 537 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: that was an eighteen toy one announced an organization of 538 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: two million people that believes in charity, patriotism and faith. 539 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: And now your membership in the Knights of Columbus is 540 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: a point of not just inquiry, but a point of 541 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: attack for Democrats. And that Kamala Harris thinks that she 542 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: can get away with this, and she can, by the way, 543 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: because people will excuse it, and they they they have 544 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: no problem creating a religious test for federal judges for 545 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: Supreme Court nominees, because that's how devoted they are to 546 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: continuing what she called to women's right to choose, which 547 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: is the right to an abortion, which is to kill 548 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: a baby. And that's I would note what you're going 549 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: to see come up if there's if there's a seat 550 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: that opens for Ruth Bader Ginsburg or any other liberal 551 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: on the Court, the most likely candidate still is Amy 552 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: Coney Barrett. That could change, but it'll be Amy Coney Barrett, 553 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: who is a female Catholic and a devout Catholic with many, 554 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: many children. And the ugliness that you're going to see 555 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: is all about a woman's quote right to choose, essentially 556 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: a legalized regime for abortion. That's what it is. We 557 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: should call it what it is. And being a Catholic, 558 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: Democrats will be willing to do this. Being a Catholic, 559 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: they will say, who is a believing Catholic? Not a 560 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: kind of Christmas in Easter or wishywashy Catholic. A believing 561 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: Catholic will be a disqualifying a disqualifying condition for an 562 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: open Supreme Court. Sea think about if they applied that 563 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: logic too, and they already do this. They already gang 564 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: up on Catholics who are going to be judges in general, 565 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: But think about what they did that to any other religion. 566 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: Can you imagine asking any questions of a Jewish or 567 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: Muslim jurist based upon the tenets of the faith and 568 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: essentially say you can't be trusted to be a real 569 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: judge whose impartial applies the law because of your faith tradition. 570 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: Can you imagine the backlash would be to that. How 571 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: understandably upset people would be in response to that, But 572 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: not with Catholics, not with Catholics, and no, I would 573 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: not with any Christian denomination in this country. Oh, Catholics 574 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: get it particularly believing Catholics get it particularly rough from 575 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: the left. And I would just note that there's a 576 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: little bit of irony here as well, because when Michael McGivney, 577 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,919 Speaker 1: who was the Catholic priest who founded what became the 578 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 1: Knights of Columbus named for Christopher Columbus by the way 579 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: back in Connecticut, it was because Catholic were being discriminated against. 580 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: We don't often talk about this in this country anymore, 581 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: but you know, the ku Klux Klan hated Catholics. That's 582 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: what one of the K's supposed to stand for. They 583 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: didn't like Catholics. The American society more generally was very 584 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: discriminatory against Catholics, especially around the turn of the twentieth century. 585 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: So you know, it was a big deal when JFK 586 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 1: became the first Catholic president. This there's some stuff here, 587 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 1: there's some stuff here, and there's a little bit of 588 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 1: discrimination coming back into this in a way that I 589 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: think it's going to get blown into the open. If 590 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 1: you have that open Supreme Court seat, being a Catholic 591 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: who is a believing Catholic will be used as a disqualifier, 592 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 1: a litmus test for the Supreme Court. That's that's what 593 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 1: the Libs, the left, we'll be willing to do. It's disgusting. 594 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: But as we know from the Kavanaugh hearings, they have 595 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: no principles, They have no honor or integrity to protect. 596 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: They just want to protect power, and they think that 597 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: that seat is owed to their ideology. One way or another. 598 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: It's gonna be uh, it's gonna be tense.

What is going on the border and 629 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: how big of a crisis is this really? We have 630 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: Art Arthur joining us now.

All right, so, 633 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: how how would you gauge the situation right now at 634 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: the border? You know, what is the truth of how 635 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: this is or is not a crisis? Oh, it's it's 636 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: a huge crisis right now. About sixty one percent of 637 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 1: all the migrants who are being apprehended along that border 638 00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:00,040 Speaker 1: or family units who are unaccompanied alien children. This is 639 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: an astounding number that keeps going up month by month, 640 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 1: particularly compared to the early days of the Trump administration 641 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 1: when I was a trial attorney with the ISS. When 642 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: I started out as an immigration judge back in two 643 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: thousand and six, most of the aliens we saw crossing 644 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: over that border were single adult males from Mexico. Now 645 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: we're almost you know again, the majority of the people 646 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: that we're seeing are families with children from Central America, 647 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 1: particularly from three Central American countries, El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. 648 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: But as the clip indicated, we're also seeing people from 649 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: other countries including Pakistan, Romania, all over the world that 650 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: have taken advantage of our lacks border policies to come 651 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: to the United States. So it's a crisis, and how 652 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: do we how should we handle this crisis? I mean, 653 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: if you were to give me, yes, the wall is 654 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,359 Speaker 1: the center of the policy fight right now. But if 655 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: we really wanted what could be considered a secure border 656 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 1: doesn't mean perfect, it doesn't mean that there can't be 657 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 1: a cartel tunnel somewhere, and you know that that people 658 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 1: aren't going to get through here and there. But if 659 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 1: we wanted something that I think there could be agreement 660 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: deserves to be called secure, what do we what do 661 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,280 Speaker 1: we have to do? Are how do we fix it. 662 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: The most important thing that we can do is to 663 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: close the loopholes that are being exploited by the smugglers 664 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 1: and by those aliens who are coming to the border 665 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: right now. In a twenty one year old settlement agreement 666 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 1: that was reached by the Clinton administration, people are children 667 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: are released after twenty days. This is the Flores Degree 668 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:40,919 Speaker 1: Right's Flores Right Flores settlement agreement. It doesn't matter whether 669 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: they come with their parents or without their parents. And 670 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: the fact is that the Trump administration as a policy 671 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 1: of not separating families. So if the children get released, 672 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: the adults get released. And that's why we're getting sixty 673 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,760 Speaker 1: one percent of the people showing up at the border 674 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,319 Speaker 1: being family units and kids because they know that they're 675 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: going to get released. So the status right now, and 676 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 1: I think that there's a lot of a lot of 677 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,839 Speaker 1: people are reporting on what they want to report on 678 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: here and not necessarily what's really going on. The status 679 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 1: right now is if you show up from any foreign country, 680 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 1: if you show up at a southern border with somebody 681 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: who is a minor, what do you have to do 682 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: to get into the country? And I mean, who's being 683 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: turned away in that situation. Is anyone being turned away 684 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: in that situation right away? Well, what's supposed to happen 685 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: is that they're supposed to be processed for expedited removal. 686 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 1: And as that sounds, they don't appear before an immigration 687 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:44,399 Speaker 1: judge and immigration officer makes the determination, we get them 688 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,879 Speaker 1: travel documents, and we send them back home. That's how 689 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,320 Speaker 1: it's supposed to work. But if you claim credible fear, 690 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 1: then you get to have an interview with an asylum officer. 691 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: And about eighty nine percent of all aliens who are 692 00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: interviewed by asylum officers are found to have a credible fear. 693 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 1: It's very low standards, lower than the standard for asylum 694 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:09,839 Speaker 1: well founded fear of persecution. And so consequently eighty nine 695 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 1: percent of all the people who claim credible fear are 696 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: admitted to the United States, so that can apply for 697 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: asylum before an immigration judge. But at the end of 698 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 1: the day, nationals of those three countries El Salvador, Honduras, 699 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 1: Guatemala last year in FY two and eighteen, nine percent 700 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,359 Speaker 1: of those asylum claims were actually granted. So eighty nine 701 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: percent we're found to have credible fear, nine percent got asylum. 702 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: That's a huge disconnect that is allowing these folks into 703 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 1: the United States. And again, these tearings can take up 704 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,400 Speaker 1: to eight years to be done. We do we have 705 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,399 Speaker 1: good numbers are on what So what you just told 706 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 1: me is that of the people who claim credible fear, 707 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: only nine percent, so basically one in ten are actually 708 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 1: given asylum in this country. But what about the ninety percent, 709 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: I mean they're supposed to be removed. Do we know 710 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: how many are actually being removed? Very few, exceptionally less 711 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 1: than ten percent of being removed annually. And we have 712 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: about we have more than nine hundred thousand alien absconders 713 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 1: in the United States. And but those are people who 714 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 1: have already had their due process, have had their day 715 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 1: in court, have been given the opportunity to make an 716 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 1: application before an immigration judge, have been ordered removed, but 717 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 1: who remained in the United States. So that's about ten 718 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,800 Speaker 1: percent of the illegal alien population in this country. A 719 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 1: little bit less, but still it's a huge number. What 720 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 1: can you tell us about about research that you've done 721 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 1: on barriers and what we should know about the sectors 722 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: of our southern border that do in fact have fencing 723 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 1: barriers walls, whatever, whatever the specifics may be. Well, again, 724 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 1: I don't want to show my age, but a bit 725 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 1: around immigration for a long time, and you know, I've 726 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,840 Speaker 1: seen the various operations that we've done. Operation Hold the 727 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 1: Line in El Paso, they put up a wall. Uh, 728 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 1: the number of illegal entrance, you know, dropped dramatically. Operation Gatekeeper, 729 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,279 Speaker 1: we put up a wall in San Diego and the 730 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,759 Speaker 1: numbers dropped dramatically. Yuma, Arizona, we put up a wall, 731 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 1: the numbers dropped dramatically. These things work. The walls work 732 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: where we have them, and what they do is they 733 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 1: actually push attempted migrants, are attempted illegal migrants into more 734 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 1: remote areas where it's more difficult to cross. The harder 735 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 1: we make it for those folks across, the fewer people 736 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: logically who would be attempting to cross. But you know, 737 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 1: these these these laws, including Flores and the Credible Fear 738 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: Standard Act, like the like the Witch's House and Handling Gretel. 739 00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: You know, they're they're an attractive nuisance that draw people 740 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,919 Speaker 1: to those dangerous parts of the border. And unfortunately that's 741 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 1: why we saw two children die last month because the 742 00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 1: parents are attempting to make entry through you know, desolate, 743 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,320 Speaker 1: remote areas, rather than simply going to the United Nations 744 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 1: High Commissioner for Refugees in their own country and making 745 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,839 Speaker 1: their refugee claims there, which is what they should be doing, 746 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 1: more alternatively, applying for asylum in Mexico. Mexico's an asylum 747 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,360 Speaker 1: granting country and actually has more lenient asylum laws than 748 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 1: we do in the United States. The fact that these 749 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 1: people are not doing that suggests that their economic migrants 750 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 1: and not actually refugees fleeing persecution. There has been some 751 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,720 Speaker 1: reporting we're speaking of Art Arthur everybody. He's a resident 752 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 1: fellow in law and policy at the Center for Immigration Studies. 753 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 1: It's been some reporting that another caravan convoy whatever we 754 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,719 Speaker 1: call it, is gathering in Honduras to make its way 755 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 1: all the way up to the US Mexico border. And 756 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 1: at least this time around, I think we won't be told, oh, 757 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 1: it will never get there. They'll they'll it'll just dissipate 758 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 1: because people have realized that there there are buses and 759 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 1: trains and ways to move faster than just on foot. 760 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,239 Speaker 1: What what happens right now under US policy, if we 761 00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 1: get let's say, another thousand migrants from Honduras show up 762 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,359 Speaker 1: at our border, they just get to claim incredible fear 763 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 1: and be led into the United States. Is that how 764 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:12,279 Speaker 1: it goes, That's correct. That's why the president's policy of 765 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: you know, not allowing individuals who enter the United States 766 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,760 Speaker 1: illegally to claim asylum to get them to the ports 767 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,080 Speaker 1: of entry Mexico is indicated that they'll take care of 768 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: them while they're in Mexico so that they can be 769 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,799 Speaker 1: processed in an orderly fashion at the ports of entry, 770 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 1: rather than you know, attempting to enter through the bootheel 771 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,279 Speaker 1: of New Mexico, which is the most desolate place I've 772 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 1: ever been to, and you know, run the risk of 773 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 1: them or their children dying. It's also important to note 774 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 1: the dangers that opposed by the smugglers about I think 775 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 1: it's something like thirty one percent of all female migrants 776 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 1: who make that journey or sexually assaulted. Two thirds of 777 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,080 Speaker 1: the migrants in total are assaulted in one way or 778 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,719 Speaker 1: the other subject to some sort of violence. So this 779 00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,360 Speaker 1: is amazingly dangerous process by which these people enter the 780 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 1: United States. And again, the humanitarian thing to do is 781 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 1: to process them in the first country that they come 782 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,840 Speaker 1: to Mexico or alternatively, have them go to the un 783 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,840 Speaker 1: HCR in their own country to make their refugee claims 784 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,880 Speaker 1: and they can be processed through there. Or do you 785 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:22,319 Speaker 1: think that the president declaring an emergency is the right 786 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,319 Speaker 1: I mean, you're a fellow in law and policy. Do 787 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,479 Speaker 1: you think that this is the right move if, in fact, 788 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 1: the Democrats don't give him a single dollar for additional 789 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,239 Speaker 1: barrier construction, which seems to be the direction this is heading. Well, 790 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,759 Speaker 1: Miss Pelosi said that she would give one dollar, so 791 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,759 Speaker 1: I mean, okay, a fair point. I don't think that's 792 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 1: going to be enough to do a whole lot of good, 793 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:48,759 Speaker 1: But declaring a national emergency in response to a humanitarian 794 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 1: crisis probably would be something that would be appropriate. It's 795 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 1: something that the president has the authority to do, but 796 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,799 Speaker 1: I think that that's something that he's actually going to 797 00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,120 Speaker 1: be rather reluctant to do. One of the reasons why, 798 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 1: amongst the reasons why the Obama administration was criticized as 799 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 1: because they did too much through administrative action. They granted 800 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 1: amnesty temporary anest CE albeit to you know, six hundred 801 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:18,279 Speaker 1: and ninety thousand Dreamers, they continued temporary protected status for 802 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:22,120 Speaker 1: you know, dozens of years for you know, nationals of 803 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,719 Speaker 1: countries who had long since moved past the crises that 804 00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:31,000 Speaker 1: prompted those declarations to begin with. So again, the president, 805 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 1: you know, campaigned against things that President Obama did, which 806 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,200 Speaker 1: was seizing too much power. I think the President's going 807 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,440 Speaker 1: to be very reluctant to use that power himself, but 808 00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,400 Speaker 1: he may have to yet, Art Arthur, everybody from the 809 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,239 Speaker 1: Center for Immigration Studies CIS dot org if you want 810 00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,240 Speaker 1: to see their latest research and art.

At the same time, they've 833 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:07,360 Speaker 1: gotten a smaller and smaller share of the wealth they create. 834 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 1: Here's the truth, brothers and sisters. There's plenty of money 835 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 1: in the world. There's plenty of money in this city. 836 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:26,239 Speaker 1: It's just in the wrong hands. That is some pretty 837 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,640 Speaker 1: radical rhetoric coming from the mayor of the largest city 838 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 1: in the United States. That's uh, de Blasio really starting 839 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:40,280 Speaker 1: to unleash that that that progressive, that really that Marxist, 840 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 1: you know, I mean de Blasio. I think he was 841 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,040 Speaker 1: the one who went and hung out with the Sandinista's 842 00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,279 Speaker 1: a Nicaragua of memory serves. I mean he really is, 843 00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,440 Speaker 1: or he went down to Cuba to hang out with 844 00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:51,960 Speaker 1: you know, he's one of these guys who like to 845 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,640 Speaker 1: do a little bit of commi tourism back in the day. 846 00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:59,480 Speaker 1: You know. De Blasio is somebody who you know went 847 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,560 Speaker 1: to Ye. You know, he's he's checked all the boxes 848 00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:06,920 Speaker 1: for the liberal elite and yet pretends to be at 849 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:11,120 Speaker 1: his core what it's actually a Marxist rabble rouser. But 850 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,880 Speaker 1: think about that. There's plenty of wealth in this city. 851 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:19,520 Speaker 1: It's just in the wrong hands, in the wrong hands. 852 00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:25,120 Speaker 1: This is not oh, we need to have a more 853 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,200 Speaker 1: robust social safety net. This is not you know, our 854 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,279 Speaker 1: city is doing great, let's improve public services, you know, 855 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,839 Speaker 1: the usual rhetoric you hear from Democrats and Republicans. This 856 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,960 Speaker 1: is something else, and it's coming from a guy who 857 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,320 Speaker 1: we've started to see now getting more attentional the national 858 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:49,120 Speaker 1: stage for pushing policies that are are flatly socialists. I 859 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:54,719 Speaker 1: mean are just openly state confiscation of resources to give 860 00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,759 Speaker 1: resources to other people on the basis of because we 861 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:03,920 Speaker 1: say so, and telling businesses that they have to transfer 862 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,440 Speaker 1: more of their resources more of their money to either 863 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:11,680 Speaker 1: employees or to unions or whatever it may be. But 864 00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:15,520 Speaker 1: I think that you're going to hear more of this now. 865 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:20,000 Speaker 1: I think that the Progressives can't help themselves. I don't 866 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:24,480 Speaker 1: think that they are going to run Joe Biden for 867 00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:29,960 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. I think that the anger that has festered 868 00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,200 Speaker 1: within the Democratic Party in the Trump era, and a 869 00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,799 Speaker 1: lot of the anger also at the Hillary establishment of 870 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,399 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, because remember, Hillary was supposed to the 871 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:42,080 Speaker 1: biggest selling point for Hillary to the hard left, which 872 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,359 Speaker 1: didn't win over all the Bernie Sanders people, to be sure, 873 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:48,799 Speaker 1: but but the biggest selling point that they had was 874 00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,719 Speaker 1: that Hillary was going to win. She was somebody you 875 00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,120 Speaker 1: were supposed to vote for because she was going to win. 876 00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 1: But now what we see is something quite different on 877 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,200 Speaker 1: the left that they know that obviously Hillary didn't win, 878 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,879 Speaker 1: and for all the Russia collusion talking everything else, that's 879 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 1: never it's never gonna change. Okay, there's no redo for 880 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 1: the election, and you know, Hillary's out of the picture. 881 00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 1: I finally now believe that she's done. What what happened was, 882 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:23,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I've I've come to accept that for whatever reason, 883 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:28,440 Speaker 1: Hillary knows that it's all over um. That could change, 884 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:32,640 Speaker 1: but I think there's such a crowded field of of 885 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,160 Speaker 1: Democrats they're going to try to muscle in and be 886 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,439 Speaker 1: the standard bearer for the party. There's just no way. 887 00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,000 Speaker 1: But you're gonna you know, the the the rhetoric and 888 00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:45,000 Speaker 1: the attitudes of the progressive left that have been you know, 889 00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:49,360 Speaker 1: shown to us in the Kavanaugh hearing, shown to us 890 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:54,320 Speaker 1: in you know, these by these Antifa groups and these 891 00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:58,280 Speaker 1: uh harassment outfits that show up and yell at people 892 00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 1: at restaurants and and and are really aggressive and crazy. 893 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:08,320 Speaker 1: That that means that you're going to have increasingly radical 894 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:12,840 Speaker 1: rhetoric use for by national level Democrat politicians. I really 895 00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,920 Speaker 1: think that's going to happen now, especially heading into the election, 896 00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 1: because these people, you know, the ones who are are 897 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:28,200 Speaker 1: from the Olynski Hite school of Democrat community organizing, agitation activism, 898 00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:32,160 Speaker 1: which is most of the of the Democrats that you 899 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,719 Speaker 1: can think of it, or at least whether they've studied Olynsky, 900 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,120 Speaker 1: they at least they at least deploy a similar rhetoric 901 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:43,800 Speaker 1: and mirror many of the Olynsky tactics. They also realize 902 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,799 Speaker 1: that you know, much of your your success as a 903 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:51,719 Speaker 1: radical comes in understanding when the time is right, you 904 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,000 Speaker 1: have to you know, you have to strike when the 905 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,960 Speaker 1: iron is hot. You have to hit when you have 906 00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,880 Speaker 1: your opening. And I believe that the progressives thing that 907 00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:03,400 Speaker 1: they they have an opening right now when we've gotten 908 00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:07,480 Speaker 1: a little bit as a country, a little fat and happy. 909 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,520 Speaker 1: You know, we've we've had this this big bullmarket for 910 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,200 Speaker 1: a long time. We've had a lot of prosperity. It's 911 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,920 Speaker 1: been you know, and it has not been equally shared. 912 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:17,640 Speaker 1: But overall, if you look at it, I mean, you'd 913 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 1: the true thing is people want to hear this. You 914 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:21,800 Speaker 1: would be in terms of your day to day life. 915 00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:23,799 Speaker 1: You'd rather be middle class today than you would in 916 00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:25,480 Speaker 1: nineteen fifty. No one who wants to hear that. But 917 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:30,160 Speaker 1: it's true on a material prosperity level. I'm not saying, 918 00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:35,080 Speaker 1: you know, spiritual and social level, but in terms of 919 00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,560 Speaker 1: what you've got access to now whereas what you would 920 00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:41,240 Speaker 1: access to them. We are we are all personally wealthy 921 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,239 Speaker 1: or overwhelmingly in this country than we would have been 922 00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:48,120 Speaker 1: sixty years ago. But Deblasio saying the money's in the 923 00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:53,240 Speaker 1: wrong hands, you know, this is this is otherising those 924 00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,600 Speaker 1: who are doing well in a way that that can 925 00:54:56,719 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 1: lead to some very ugly policies, and those ugly policies 926 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:04,120 Speaker 1: can lead to some really difficult and dangerous times. So 927 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,560 Speaker 1: I'll just know what I mean. That really struck me. 928 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 1: You know that the rich are exploiting you, that it's 929 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,680 Speaker 1: not really their money, it should be your money. This 930 00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 1: isn't what you would think that you'd hear from the 931 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,600 Speaker 1: mayor of the biggest city in the country. This is 932 00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:24,280 Speaker 1: the stuff that you'd hear from some street corner rabble 933 00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:30,160 Speaker 1: rouser activist type. But remember, we had a street activist 934 00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,560 Speaker 1: in the Olenski I mold from Chicago who was president 935 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,600 Speaker 1: for eight years. I wanted to fundamentally transform the country. 936 00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna have another one who thinks he's gonna complete 937 00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:43,960 Speaker 1: Obama's work. Just wait and see. That's what they're going 938 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,440 Speaker 1: to put up for the twenty twenty election. AI will 939 00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:52,720 Speaker 1: increasingly replace repetitive jobs, not just for blue color work, 940 00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:54,839 Speaker 1: but a lot of the white color work. A lot 941 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:59,799 Speaker 1: of things will become automated, will have automated stores, automated restaurants, 942 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:05,440 Speaker 1: and all together in fifteen years fast going to displace 943 00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:10,080 Speaker 1: about forty percent of jobs in the world. Forty percent 944 00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:16,600 Speaker 1: of jobs in the world might might go away. Now 945 00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:21,680 Speaker 1: this is I think the single most important social and 946 00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:25,560 Speaker 1: economic issue that we're going to have to face of 947 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:31,239 Speaker 1: the next fifty years, honestly, and I'm the first to 948 00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,120 Speaker 1: admit that no one can predict the future. So who knows. 949 00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:36,840 Speaker 1: We could have some strain of flu that goes crazy 950 00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,520 Speaker 1: and kill sixty million people, which is what happened. I 951 00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,880 Speaker 1: think forty million were killed by Spanish influenza back in 952 00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:46,560 Speaker 1: the early twentieth century flu season. I got told by 953 00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,440 Speaker 1: a guy who's senior at CDC on Rising or was 954 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,040 Speaker 1: it CDC or is one of those places. He's like, 955 00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:52,880 Speaker 1: get your flu shot buck. I said, all right, all right, 956 00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:56,279 Speaker 1: I'll get it. But back the issue at a hand. 957 00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:00,520 Speaker 1: Here this is a venture capitalist and artificial intelligence pioneer 958 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:05,960 Speaker 1: named Kai Fu Lee who is saying what many other 959 00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:14,160 Speaker 1: top minds in technology and in venture capital, and essentially 960 00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:19,440 Speaker 1: some of the highest performing entrepreneurs out there are saying 961 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,480 Speaker 1: about all this, and that is that they think that 962 00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,760 Speaker 1: we are heading into a period where there's just going 963 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:31,120 Speaker 1: to be massive disruptions to labor. And you know, people 964 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,400 Speaker 1: in the past have said that this was going to 965 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,720 Speaker 1: be a problem and they were wrong, right that there's 966 00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:41,720 Speaker 1: there's definitely a tradition of exaggeration around oh all these 967 00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:43,520 Speaker 1: all the jobs are going to go away? What's going 968 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,040 Speaker 1: to happen this? This brings me to I think I've 969 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,040 Speaker 1: even at a previous time done a history on the 970 00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,080 Speaker 1: show of the Luddite movement and it had to do 971 00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:59,360 Speaker 1: with automated looms for weavers in the UK. And it 972 00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:03,600 Speaker 1: was this apocryphal character known as ned Lud who is 973 00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:07,080 Speaker 1: you know, Gonna, who was supposed to have been the 974 00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:10,200 Speaker 1: the originator of this notion that we should they should 975 00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:14,360 Speaker 1: destroy the looms. But you know, there is something very 976 00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:19,800 Speaker 1: different now about the kind of technological leaps that we 977 00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,880 Speaker 1: are talking about and what it's going to mean for 978 00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:27,720 Speaker 1: people to do labor, meaning to do especially if you're 979 00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 1: doing a physical task, right, if you're doing a physical task, 980 00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:36,000 Speaker 1: how is that going to continue on when machinery is 981 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:37,880 Speaker 1: going to do this? And this is what brings up 982 00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:41,920 Speaker 1: this conversation about And there's so many facets to this, 983 00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,200 Speaker 1: and it's one of it's going to be a continuing 984 00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:46,880 Speaker 1: theme here on the show. We're going to talk about 985 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,840 Speaker 1: automation and not just job losses, but the way it's 986 00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,880 Speaker 1: going to reconstruct many societies and the way it's going 987 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:58,960 Speaker 1: to change how we how we interact with each other, 988 00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 1: and what it means for wealth generation, the wealth gap 989 00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,520 Speaker 1: that is a very real problem in many societies. I 990 00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:08,520 Speaker 1: think it's going to become a bigger problem even in 991 00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:14,360 Speaker 1: our society. It'll lead to social disruption and perhaps even 992 00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,320 Speaker 1: revolutions in some places. I mean, this is really really 993 00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:21,440 Speaker 1: serious stuff. But that's why I want to continue to 994 00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:23,520 Speaker 1: look at this because it also goes to some of 995 00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:28,160 Speaker 1: what Tucker Carlson's monologue that went viral and has gotten 996 00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,240 Speaker 1: so much attention goes to, which is, you know, people 997 00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:36,800 Speaker 1: start talking about a massive welfare state and universal basic 998 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:43,640 Speaker 1: income and these ideas where work will be if not devalued. 999 00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:45,320 Speaker 1: But I think you could argue it will be devalued, 1000 00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:49,680 Speaker 1: but work also will become for more people consider to 1001 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,960 Speaker 1: be extraneous, and that the state will just have an 1002 00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,880 Speaker 1: obligation to provide for people. And because we'll be living 1003 00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,960 Speaker 1: at a time of so much technology and abundance and 1004 01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:03,880 Speaker 1: and relative comfort, there will be this sense that maybe 1005 01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,760 Speaker 1: people don't have to work, and and you know this 1006 01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:11,840 Speaker 1: this then reminds me of a story that I was 1007 01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,560 Speaker 1: told back in when I was in the when I 1008 01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,720 Speaker 1: was at Saint David's, which was a Catholic school. I 1009 01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,960 Speaker 1: went to New York City. We had this one uh 1010 01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:23,680 Speaker 1: teacher who and I don't remember the para bowl or 1011 01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,080 Speaker 1: the details of it, but he told the story about 1012 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:30,960 Speaker 1: how this guy was in what he thought was heaven 1013 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,600 Speaker 1: and all and he could he any food he wanted 1014 01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,080 Speaker 1: would appear, any place he wanted to be, he could be. 1015 01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,880 Speaker 1: He knew he had died, but any you know, any 1016 01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,880 Speaker 1: woman whose company he wanted would appear, and it sounds 1017 01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,400 Speaker 1: like heaven. Sounds like heaven. And then he would ask 1018 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,480 Speaker 1: the person who was granting all these wishes, you know, 1019 01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 1: all I want is is work. I want I want 1020 01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,280 Speaker 1: to I want to build something, I want to do something, 1021 01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,400 Speaker 1: I want to challenge, I want to task. He said, oh, no, 1022 01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,040 Speaker 1: you can't have that. And he said, then the story 1023 01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:00,680 Speaker 1: wasn't like he was telling sort of little kids with 1024 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,240 Speaker 1: The story was, no, you're actually in hell. You're in hell, 1025 01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:06,080 Speaker 1: and your hell is that you have to only have 1026 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,880 Speaker 1: those things that you thought you wanted so badly in life, 1027 01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,080 Speaker 1: and those things that you were willing to sacrifice for 1028 01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,680 Speaker 1: and give up your dignity and your honor and be 1029 01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:17,360 Speaker 1: a moral trying to achieve. And now you have that 1030 01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:21,280 Speaker 1: for eternity. And what you can have is to build, 1031 01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:27,560 Speaker 1: to construct, to create, to be additive, right to challenge yourself. 1032 01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:29,880 Speaker 1: And now look it's it's a little bit of a 1033 01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:34,560 Speaker 1: simplistic story, but you get the idea Jordan Peterson does. 1034 01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,439 Speaker 1: He has a better You know, Jordan Peterson is now 1035 01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:40,680 Speaker 1: the intellectual dark dark Web guy used to come on 1036 01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:42,920 Speaker 1: this show way back that I had Jordan Peterson on 1037 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:47,000 Speaker 1: this show in twenty seventeen when he was getting known 1038 01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:51,760 Speaker 1: as the Canadian professor who wouldn't use the wrong pronoun 1039 01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,480 Speaker 1: for people just base on what they wanted. And and 1040 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,200 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, we're kind of trend setters 1041 01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:58,840 Speaker 1: here in the freedom of those listen to the show. No, 1042 01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:01,800 Speaker 1: you know, we had Jordan Peterson on before anybody. I 1043 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:06,280 Speaker 1: had Candice Owen on this show before anybody knew who 1044 01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:08,240 Speaker 1: she was. You know, I'm just saying people have said, oh, 1045 01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna have red Pill Black on that was what 1046 01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,000 Speaker 1: her site was, or her YouTube channel's called. So I'm 1047 01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm just saying we're trendsetters there. But Jordan Peterson tells this, 1048 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,840 Speaker 1: or rather writes, oh no, I actually I can't remember 1049 01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:22,560 Speaker 1: if I read what he wrote or if I heard 1050 01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:25,040 Speaker 1: him in a speech, but he tells this story where 1051 01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:28,840 Speaker 1: you know, you think, when you're working and engaging your 1052 01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:33,120 Speaker 1: day to life, heaven is being on a beautiful beach, 1053 01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:38,040 Speaker 1: drinking margaritas without a care in the world. And he says, 1054 01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:40,680 Speaker 1: you know, really play that out, play that out in 1055 01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:43,920 Speaker 1: your mind. How does that go? Okay? If I could 1056 01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,000 Speaker 1: make that happen for you. Now, now you're on a beach, 1057 01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,560 Speaker 1: it's the most gorgeous beach in the world, and you 1058 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,080 Speaker 1: don't even you don't have to worry about money. They're 1059 01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:52,959 Speaker 1: just gonna let you stay on that beach. You're staying 1060 01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,680 Speaker 1: in a beautiful hotel. They're bringing you margaritas every day. 1061 01:02:56,640 --> 01:03:00,000 Speaker 1: He's like, Okay, maybe for two weeks it's paradise. Maybe 1062 01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,960 Speaker 1: six weeks it's it's paradise, says But you get a 1063 01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:07,280 Speaker 1: couple of months into this, you realize you're not doing anything, 1064 01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,640 Speaker 1: you're not productive, you're probably getting fat from just drinking 1065 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:14,120 Speaker 1: margaritas by other deligious but they're terrible for you. You're 1066 01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:17,840 Speaker 1: you're getting soft, and you're going to feel a lack 1067 01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:21,240 Speaker 1: of purpose at some point, and you're gonna want to 1068 01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:23,560 Speaker 1: do something with yourself. You have to get up and 1069 01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,720 Speaker 1: want to do something, whether it's taking care of your 1070 01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,880 Speaker 1: family or going to an office or a job or 1071 01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:33,919 Speaker 1: a work site or whatever it may be. People need 1072 01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,000 Speaker 1: a purpose, and you can get purpose in all kinds 1073 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,200 Speaker 1: of things. You're you know, the way that you interact 1074 01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,840 Speaker 1: with your fellow human beings. Are you kind? Are you helpful? 1075 01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:45,000 Speaker 1: Are you? Are you decent to them? But for a 1076 01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:48,560 Speaker 1: lot of people, especially you asking us, especially for men 1077 01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:53,560 Speaker 1: in the male psyche, oh my gosh, microaggression. Purpose comes 1078 01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:57,160 Speaker 1: from work. As in the workplace, the work that's done 1079 01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,240 Speaker 1: in the home is every bit as important. And I 1080 01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:05,280 Speaker 1: think one of the rate social dysfunctions of the twentieth century, 1081 01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 1: or really the late the second half of the twentieth century, 1082 01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:14,160 Speaker 1: is this idea of putting down women raising families as 1083 01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:19,400 Speaker 1: as important employment. It is the most important employment of 1084 01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:24,080 Speaker 1: society has. It is as important as any other job 1085 01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:29,680 Speaker 1: there is. It's not necessarily economically rewarded the way that 1086 01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:33,960 Speaker 1: doing jobs are, but it is as important for society 1087 01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:35,960 Speaker 1: and based on what I'm told by people who actually 1088 01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,880 Speaker 1: do it as rewarding as anything you can do in life. 1089 01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:42,760 Speaker 1: I just wish our society hadn't decided to listen to 1090 01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,720 Speaker 1: these radical feminists who are miserable. By the way. They're miserable. 1091 01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 1: Every time I talk to some radical liberal feminists. Misery 1092 01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,400 Speaker 1: is what I get as what I get from them. 1093 01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, they're professor of such and such. 1094 01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,400 Speaker 1: They're in their fifties, they have a life partner, male 1095 01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,320 Speaker 1: or female, I don't care, it doesn't matter. But you know, 1096 01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:01,880 Speaker 1: they don't want to call it a marriage, and and 1097 01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:04,480 Speaker 1: you know they don't have kids, and they you know, 1098 01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:07,760 Speaker 1: they chase their career and now they're you know, they're boomers, 1099 01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:12,440 Speaker 1: maybe late boomers, and for what for what they just 1100 01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:14,760 Speaker 1: they but they put down all their friends who got 1101 01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:17,440 Speaker 1: married and raised families, you know, put them down for decades. 1102 01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:20,920 Speaker 1: That's it. It's a recipe for misery. I just see it. 1103 01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:24,560 Speaker 1: I see it in the in the the the generation 1104 01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:29,680 Speaker 1: above me and so. But you know, Jordan Peterson's point 1105 01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:31,280 Speaker 1: with it is the same point that I'm making, which 1106 01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,640 Speaker 1: is that you know, you need purpose, and once you 1107 01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:37,240 Speaker 1: start taking work away from men as as a purpose 1108 01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:38,760 Speaker 1: they have in their day to day life. And of course, 1109 01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,120 Speaker 1: remember part of the purposes you go to work not 1110 01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,600 Speaker 1: just to do that productive thing, but also to then 1111 01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:48,480 Speaker 1: enjoy the fruits of your labor and take care of 1112 01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:50,920 Speaker 1: your family, or take care of yourself if you don't 1113 01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:52,760 Speaker 1: have a family. But then this is, this is the 1114 01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:58,960 Speaker 1: central part of our social existence. And now that a 1115 01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:00,240 Speaker 1: lot of this is going to be on I made it. 1116 01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:01,760 Speaker 1: A lot of this is going to be coming from 1117 01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:07,200 Speaker 1: machinery and AI programs. This is this is gonna be 1118 01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,439 Speaker 1: very disruptive. Yeah, maybe there are other jobs we can't 1119 01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:13,000 Speaker 1: think of yet, the jobs of the future. People will say, 1120 01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 1: maybe there are jobs we can't even imagine. You know, 1121 01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,360 Speaker 1: person that takes care of the you know, automated butler, 1122 01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:20,520 Speaker 1: let's bringing you everything right, the person that fixes it. 1123 01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 1: There will be things, but that doesn't mean there won't 1124 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,880 Speaker 1: be social disruptions and upheaval in the meantime. And look 1125 01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:29,080 Speaker 1: back throughout history. Yeah we push through things, but maybe 1126 01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:33,440 Speaker 1: we go through a fifty year period of regression. You know, 1127 01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:37,200 Speaker 1: maybe we go through fifty year period of upheaval and 1128 01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:44,720 Speaker 1: you know, societal strife. It's not all just gonna be peaches, roses, unicorns, 1129 01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:50,440 Speaker 1: and fairy tales. Peaches are delicious. So that's important to 1130 01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,600 Speaker 1: keep in mind as we look at immigration as well, 1131 01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:56,919 Speaker 1: because here is what the Democrats and the libertarian open 1132 01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:59,040 Speaker 1: borders types, Here's here's what they don't get into. Here's 1133 01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:03,160 Speaker 1: what they don't address. And I think it's really essential 1134 01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,040 Speaker 1: that we keep it in mind as we talk about 1135 01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:09,800 Speaker 1: all this. The immigrant population that is coming into the 1136 01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:13,800 Speaker 1: country illegally or that is scamming the system is overwhelmingly 1137 01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:19,200 Speaker 1: from you know, third world countries, developing countries now where 1138 01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,840 Speaker 1: they don't speak English, they don't have higher education, and 1139 01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:26,880 Speaker 1: they're coming into an economy where the stratification between those 1140 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,760 Speaker 1: who can compete in a knowledge based economy and those 1141 01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,000 Speaker 1: who can't is getting wider and wider all the time. 1142 01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:37,920 Speaker 1: That is not a recipe for happiness and cohesion in 1143 01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:41,720 Speaker 1: this society, and it is only a recipe for a 1144 01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:47,240 Speaker 1: larger state, higher taxes, and heavier burdens upon the productive 1145 01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:52,960 Speaker 1: class in this country imposed by the state. So you 1146 01:07:53,000 --> 01:08:01,000 Speaker 1: know this, the massive waves over time of of unskilled 1147 01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:06,040 Speaker 1: labor that don't compete at the same in the same 1148 01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:12,400 Speaker 1: kinds of jobs as the increasingly separate elite, if you will, 1149 01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,400 Speaker 1: the knowledge workers in this country, that's going to get 1150 01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:17,639 Speaker 1: bigger and bigger, it's going to get worse. And there's 1151 01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:21,679 Speaker 1: also the people in this country that aren't able, haven't 1152 01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:24,760 Speaker 1: been given the opportunity to have, haven't been given the 1153 01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,280 Speaker 1: resources to compete at that level. You know, they feel 1154 01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:31,240 Speaker 1: like they're being displaced. And this is this is all 1155 01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:34,840 Speaker 1: a very complicated and if we don't deal with it 1156 01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:38,440 Speaker 1: as a country and as a society, I think a 1157 01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:43,960 Speaker 1: dangerous mix. So AI Jobs of the future fascinating, great stuff, 1158 01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,080 Speaker 1: but it's going to have real social implications that we 1159 01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:51,519 Speaker 1: need to understand. What the administration is clearly demonstrating here 1160 01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:56,200 Speaker 1: is that despite the decision to withdraw from Syria according 1161 01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,759 Speaker 1: to the conditions that presidents imposed, we are not withdrawing 1162 01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:04,200 Speaker 1: the Middle East. We have provided an indispensable leadership to 1163 01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,519 Speaker 1: stand up to confront the Iranians, who are clearly the 1164 01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:11,040 Speaker 1: strategic threats to the Middle East. What Secretary Pompeo is 1165 01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:16,600 Speaker 1: doing I solely applaud He's bringing countries from Asia, Europe, Africa, 1166 01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:20,479 Speaker 1: the Western Hemisphere and obviously the Middle East together to 1167 01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:23,920 Speaker 1: deal with this imposing threat to the region. Because they're 1168 01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,640 Speaker 1: not just a regional threat, they're a global threat in 1169 01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:30,120 Speaker 1: terms of sponsoring terrorism around the world. So today you 1170 01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:34,799 Speaker 1: just had the first reports about US true presence getting 1171 01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:37,800 Speaker 1: drawn down in Syria. It's going to be a while, 1172 01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:41,719 Speaker 1: it's going to take some time. But I have said, 1173 01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:43,519 Speaker 1: I think that as long as it is done in 1174 01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:48,000 Speaker 1: this way, in a deliberate fashion, that make sure that 1175 01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:52,360 Speaker 1: there are protections for the Koords against the Turks and 1176 01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:57,439 Speaker 1: the possibility of Turkish particularly Turkish air strikes, and as 1177 01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:00,640 Speaker 1: long as we maintain close ties the Turks. I mean, 1178 01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:04,840 Speaker 1: pardon me to the Kurds on the ground meeting that 1179 01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:07,679 Speaker 1: we're just next door, We're just over the hill, and 1180 01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:10,920 Speaker 1: you know we're there. If they really need this, we could, 1181 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:14,640 Speaker 1: you know, spin up some apaches or some F sixteens, 1182 01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,519 Speaker 1: and you know that the cavalryes over that next ridge, 1183 01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:21,519 Speaker 1: us being the United States being the cavalry, that not 1184 01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,800 Speaker 1: extending our mission in our presence in Syria is the 1185 01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:29,040 Speaker 1: right thing. That we don't have a role to play 1186 01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:35,120 Speaker 1: in a continued military occupation of what has now liberated 1187 01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:38,759 Speaker 1: Syria from the Islamic state. We also need to prepare 1188 01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:44,040 Speaker 1: for a future in which the Iranians continue their presence 1189 01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:47,639 Speaker 1: in Syria regardless of what we do, regardless of our 1190 01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:52,400 Speaker 1: positions and our activities, and not to over extend ourselves, 1191 01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:54,439 Speaker 1: which is also why I would note that there's this 1192 01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,000 Speaker 1: summit to Pompeo gave this speech, very good speech, by 1193 01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:59,720 Speaker 1: the way, on this international summit on Iran. I mean 1194 01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:02,080 Speaker 1: Lee Zelbin talked a bit about this play clip fifteen. 1195 01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:07,759 Speaker 1: It's American leadership, this is American exceptionalism. You have an 1196 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,840 Speaker 1: important initiative to bring dozens of countries together when you 1197 01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:13,760 Speaker 1: make a decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear Deal 1198 01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:18,360 Speaker 1: and sanctions are reimposed. There's a difference between just having 1199 01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:23,639 Speaker 1: US sanctions reimposed versus the international community reimposing sanctions as well. 1200 01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:28,360 Speaker 1: US sanctions alone very powerful. Having more countries on board 1201 01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:32,240 Speaker 1: is important. Additionally, you have other Middle Eastern countries that 1202 01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:35,439 Speaker 1: also view Iranni and aggression as a existential threat to 1203 01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:38,840 Speaker 1: their nation and also to their region. So beyond just 1204 01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:43,600 Speaker 1: bilateral diplomacy, multilateral diplomacy and ramping up economic pressure, is 1205 01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:46,439 Speaker 1: the need for coalitions and leadership on the parts of 1206 01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:49,280 Speaker 1: other nations and involvement. So look, it's it's going to 1207 01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:52,280 Speaker 1: be a multi pronged effort here. It's going to take 1208 01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:58,040 Speaker 1: a long time, and it's essentially just creating these allegiances 1209 01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:01,320 Speaker 1: and making sure that we're bad back and gallies to 1210 01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:05,400 Speaker 1: keep the Iranians in check. So, but the way to 1211 01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:07,080 Speaker 1: keep the Uranians in check is not to just keep 1212 01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:10,280 Speaker 1: putting a US military presence on the ground in country 1213 01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,840 Speaker 1: after country, which is what we were on schedule to do. 1214 01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:16,840 Speaker 1: Got the US military and Yemen US military and Syria 1215 01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:20,800 Speaker 1: US military to rock US military and you know, you 1216 01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:22,560 Speaker 1: go down, you know, boff Ray and we got the 1217 01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:24,240 Speaker 1: fifth fleetal that we have a base there. But ay mean, 1218 01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:25,880 Speaker 1: we just got we got we got guys everywhere in 1219 01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:31,120 Speaker 1: the Middle East, right now, enough is enough? Trump understands, Yeah, 1220 01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:33,960 Speaker 1: he's not the the down on the weeds guy with 1221 01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,599 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of you know, cultural knowledge about what's 1222 01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,600 Speaker 1: going on in Syria. Trump understands that we've got to 1223 01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:43,720 Speaker 1: turn the tide here and stop putting US boots on 1224 01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,120 Speaker 1: the ground to solve problems. We got to find other 1225 01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:50,760 Speaker 1: ways to solve those problems. Man, I had an early 1226 01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:52,680 Speaker 1: day to day and I had to talk to a 1227 01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:54,519 Speaker 1: bunch of libs on set. We had a bunch of 1228 01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:56,280 Speaker 1: lib guests, and some of them were being a little 1229 01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:58,800 Speaker 1: grumpy about Trump's wall. But you know what, I think 1230 01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,439 Speaker 1: all they need is a delicious cup of Black Rifle coffee. 1231 01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:04,880 Speaker 1: That's all I needed.

Now it's the time to exercise 1248 01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:06,719 Speaker 1: that option. If the endgame is emergency declaration by the President, 1249 01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:10,360 Speaker 1: do it, do it now. Lindsey Graham, who saying, throw down, 1250 01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:14,640 Speaker 1: President Trump, throw down. Lindsey Graham still still strutting his 1251 01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:21,719 Speaker 1: stuff after that U Bravo performance at the CAVANOL hearings 1252 01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:25,080 Speaker 1: this past summer. But is this the right move? How 1253 01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:28,000 Speaker 1: does this whole thing end? Well, we've got some some 1254 01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:32,040 Speaker 1: wisdom coming your way courtesy of Houston Texas. Right now, 1255 01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:34,760 Speaker 1: our friend Jesse Kelly, who want to come hang out 1256 01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:37,479 Speaker 1: as a Friday. Here's the host of the Jesse Kelly Show, 1257 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:40,400 Speaker 1: which you can hear down on the iHeart affiliate in Houston, 1258 01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:45,160 Speaker 1: Texas on nine fifty k p RC Monday through Friday's 1259 01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:49,000 Speaker 1: mister Jesse Kelly, great to have you, sir, good to 1260 01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:52,559 Speaker 1: be here back. And this ends ugly, I think, one 1261 01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:56,759 Speaker 1: way or the other, because he can't if he declares 1262 01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:59,560 Speaker 1: the state of emergency, half the Republicans are going to 1263 01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:03,400 Speaker 1: be mad about it. Politically, he should if we're just 1264 01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:06,360 Speaker 1: talking about re election. Politically, he should because he has 1265 01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:10,920 Speaker 1: to have some kind of wall built for reelection. But man, 1266 01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:13,520 Speaker 1: is that a bad precedent for when the next scumbag 1267 01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:17,160 Speaker 1: gets elected? Off? It is? It is scary because you see, 1268 01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:19,479 Speaker 1: a normal person would look at this situation at the 1269 01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,760 Speaker 1: border and say, okay that it is a crisis. Okay, 1270 01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:25,360 Speaker 1: you got drugs flowing through, people are dying, You've got 1271 01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,400 Speaker 1: bad laws in plays. Congress is not acting. Congress is 1272 01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:31,920 Speaker 1: not changing this, and it's not really in Congress's purview 1273 01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:33,400 Speaker 1: to change some of it in terms of you know, 1274 01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:37,439 Speaker 1: greater border patrol activity and the law enforcement component of it. 1275 01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:40,040 Speaker 1: That's an executive branch function. So there's all these things. 1276 01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:42,000 Speaker 1: But you're right. See I've been thinking about the last 1277 01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:44,920 Speaker 1: few days and Libs are nuts, as you and I 1278 01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:48,759 Speaker 1: both know, and they will come in with a president 1279 01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:51,160 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, and I don't want to get you too excited, 1280 01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:54,000 Speaker 1: and they'll say that you know that that gun violence 1281 01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:57,000 Speaker 1: is an emergency, and so they're just gonna say that 1282 01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna they need to confience under national emergency power. 1283 01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:01,839 Speaker 1: They're gonna come to skate all uh, you know, assault 1284 01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:04,479 Speaker 1: weapons or whatever, which would be a terrible idea on 1285 01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:07,360 Speaker 1: so many levels. But you're right, it's what we always 1286 01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:10,120 Speaker 1: have to keep in mind. Now, we don't want nothing 1287 01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:13,080 Speaker 1: to get done, that's not the goal. But any powers 1288 01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:16,559 Speaker 1: we give them the next guy you're literated to give 1289 01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:18,960 Speaker 1: the person you hate the most those same kind of powers. 1290 01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:21,280 Speaker 1: That it's scary to think. I mean, think about climate change, 1291 01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:24,479 Speaker 1: but think about the national emergencies they could declare for 1292 01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,040 Speaker 1: the climate change far us and the things they could 1293 01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:30,519 Speaker 1: do with it. It's it's frightening. Yeah, absolutely. Climate change 1294 01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:34,040 Speaker 1: is also the one where I have conversations Jesse with 1295 01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:38,160 Speaker 1: people who are seemingly normal, you know, Otherwise they sound 1296 01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:40,600 Speaker 1: like folks that you could have a normal chat with 1297 01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,280 Speaker 1: about a whole range of issues, and then climate change 1298 01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:46,640 Speaker 1: comes up and they're crazy all of a sudden. I'm like, 1299 01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:49,760 Speaker 1: what are you thinking? You really believe that we have 1300 01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:53,280 Speaker 1: we have more forest fires going on in California because 1301 01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:55,840 Speaker 1: of global climate change? Or are you out of your mind? 1302 01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,040 Speaker 1: It's it's not a political stance. I tell people that 1303 01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:01,800 Speaker 1: it is a religion. Those those climate change people who 1304 01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:04,560 Speaker 1: really believe it, It is a religion to them. And 1305 01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:07,960 Speaker 1: what's funny is there's it's separated into two groups. Half 1306 01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:11,080 Speaker 1: of them are the wackos who believe it, and half 1307 01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:13,160 Speaker 1: of them are the politicians who don't believe it at 1308 01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:16,160 Speaker 1: all but pretend they do. Like Obama was this great 1309 01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:19,920 Speaker 1: climate change champion, but the guy flew whose personal pizza 1310 01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:24,519 Speaker 1: chef from Chicago to DC to make him a pizza. Right. See, 1311 01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:27,760 Speaker 1: if you really thought that co two emissions, that that 1312 01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:31,280 Speaker 1: carbon emissions in the air were going to destroy the 1313 01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:35,600 Speaker 1: planet for future generations, wouldn't you modify your behavior just 1314 01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:37,760 Speaker 1: just a little bit, Like I'll tell you here, here's 1315 01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:43,360 Speaker 1: an example. I find littering horrendous right now, Whether I 1316 01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:45,960 Speaker 1: drop a little bit of my you know, bubble I 1317 01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:48,000 Speaker 1: don't chew bubblegum, but this is you get the idea. 1318 01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:50,080 Speaker 1: If I dropped my bubble gum wrapper on the street, 1319 01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:53,720 Speaker 1: nobody's gonna die. Nothing's terrible. If the city is not 1320 01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:55,400 Speaker 1: going to be a trash eat. You know, it doesn't 1321 01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:57,960 Speaker 1: really matter except for the fact that I feel like 1322 01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:01,760 Speaker 1: my you know, my personal action should be reflective of 1323 01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:03,760 Speaker 1: how I feel, and I just think littering is a 1324 01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,519 Speaker 1: gross thing to do. So if I felt the way 1325 01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:09,639 Speaker 1: they do about climate change, I feel like I would 1326 01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:12,760 Speaker 1: modify my behavior. The fact that they don't modify their 1327 01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:15,040 Speaker 1: personal behavior makes me think that they're all full of 1328 01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:18,120 Speaker 1: it and crazy. Yeah, they are full of it. They 1329 01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:20,599 Speaker 1: are full of it. But you know, every religion, climate 1330 01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:22,880 Speaker 1: change is the religion, and every religion needs to God, 1331 01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:24,920 Speaker 1: and that's what they want to be. They want to 1332 01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:27,160 Speaker 1: be that leader. And they know if they just bake 1333 01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:30,400 Speaker 1: it enough. These wackos all bowed out to him. I 1334 01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:33,400 Speaker 1: mean it was a Hollywood guys, was it DiCaprio who 1335 01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:35,600 Speaker 1: was always talking about climate change? And then he just 1336 01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:39,320 Speaker 1: lives on a yacht for months at a time, yep, 1337 01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:42,040 Speaker 1: and flies everywhere and flies everywhere private of course, which 1338 01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:43,840 Speaker 1: I mean the thing about flying private, it's not just 1339 01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:49,040 Speaker 1: that that's they're obviously, you know, super limousine liberals or 1340 01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:52,360 Speaker 1: private jet progressives. But it's also that if you look 1341 01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:55,479 Speaker 1: at the carbon emissions from one private flight, what that 1342 01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:57,719 Speaker 1: burns up in terms of gas versus what a normal 1343 01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:00,120 Speaker 1: person would do over the course of a month, it's 1344 01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:04,400 Speaker 1: astronomically more rights, it's a whole lot more so. Anyway, 1345 01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:06,439 Speaker 1: I even I agree with you, it's it's nonsense. But 1346 01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:09,400 Speaker 1: that's why you put the emergence, you know, the emergency powers. 1347 01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:13,559 Speaker 1: The problem is that the government now is shared between 1348 01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:15,600 Speaker 1: one side of the country that's living in reality and 1349 01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:17,200 Speaker 1: the other side of the country that's just full of 1350 01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:21,160 Speaker 1: delusional snowflake cry babies. And that then brings me to 1351 01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:25,920 Speaker 1: this my friend, which was the bigger political self own, 1352 01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:33,160 Speaker 1: Beto O'Rourke doing a video of himself getting his teeth cleaned, 1353 01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:36,320 Speaker 1: as if that's something that anybody ever wants to Or 1354 01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:40,400 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren's DNA test. It's still Elizabeth Warren's DNA test. 1355 01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:44,759 Speaker 1: That's the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in politics. 1356 01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:48,160 Speaker 1: It's probably my favorite story ever because she's an insane person. 1357 01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:52,639 Speaker 1: But for years, run a scam that you're an Indian, 1358 01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:57,320 Speaker 1: get ready to run for president. Let Donald Trump troll 1359 01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:00,400 Speaker 1: you into taking a DNA test that proves you weren't 1360 01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:04,800 Speaker 1: an Indian, and then release said tests publicly as if 1361 01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:07,840 Speaker 1: it proved that you were an Indian. Has to be 1362 01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:11,640 Speaker 1: the dumbest thing I've ever seen a politician do in 1363 01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:14,960 Speaker 1: my entire life. I have still stunned that she could 1364 01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,760 Speaker 1: be that's stupid. It's it's amazing to me because you know, 1365 01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:20,760 Speaker 1: this is what I have to I remind myself of 1366 01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:24,760 Speaker 1: this whenever I see, you know, the the just the 1367 01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:30,120 Speaker 1: outrage from the Washington Post, The New York Times, MSNBC, CNN, 1368 01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:34,000 Speaker 1: and the rest of the mainstream media crew over everything 1369 01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:36,720 Speaker 1: that Trump does, and then they'll say things like Trump 1370 01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:39,560 Speaker 1: should be removed with the twenty fifth Amendment, Trump is 1371 01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:42,519 Speaker 1: not fit to be president. And then they'll write glowing 1372 01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,200 Speaker 1: editorials about Elizabeth Warren. I'm like, Elizabeth Warren thinks of 1373 01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:48,320 Speaker 1: being one to one thousand and twenty fourth native American 1374 01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:52,639 Speaker 1: makes her a native American. Elizaeth Warren is a crazy person. 1375 01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:57,720 Speaker 1: I think the best part of that one. Somebody said it, 1376 01:20:57,800 --> 01:20:59,960 Speaker 1: and I don't remember the member. I'm off the time, 1377 01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:04,479 Speaker 1: off my head, but the average American is like one 1378 01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:08,639 Speaker 1: in seven hundreds, so actually she's like the whitest person 1379 01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:13,800 Speaker 1: in the United States. And to release that publicly, I 1380 01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:17,240 Speaker 1: just I'm I'm stunted. I can see taking the DNA test. 1381 01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:20,400 Speaker 1: Maybe you take it, cross your fingers, you know, hopefully 1382 01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:21,840 Speaker 1: you have a little then you can go out and 1383 01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,400 Speaker 1: prove it. But if it doesn't prove what you wanted 1384 01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:27,759 Speaker 1: it to prove, shut up about it, shred the results, 1385 01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:30,640 Speaker 1: then burn them, then launched them into outer space, and 1386 01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:33,800 Speaker 1: never speak about them again. I also think that the 1387 01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:36,679 Speaker 1: Beto thing, which which we've been We've we've been talking 1388 01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:39,160 Speaker 1: about all day here where this guy takes his videos, 1389 01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:40,960 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I just want to have a continue 1390 01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:42,320 Speaker 1: By the way, I'm not the only one who thinks 1391 01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:45,000 Speaker 1: he sounds like Napoleon Dynamite. I just want to have 1392 01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:49,360 Speaker 1: a continuing discussion about the border. Like I was just really, 1393 01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:51,840 Speaker 1: I just want to ride my skateboard and just be 1394 01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:55,760 Speaker 1: really cool. And he does this weird video and I 1395 01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,040 Speaker 1: look at this guy like I've been told the last 1396 01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:00,880 Speaker 1: six months by every by no and I know a 1397 01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:04,000 Speaker 1: lot of them that Beto is so Kennedy ask he's 1398 01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,400 Speaker 1: so cool, he's so handsome, and I just want to 1399 01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:09,080 Speaker 1: be like, are we are we talking about the same person? 1400 01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:11,880 Speaker 1: This guy's a Doric who married a billionaire. Why do 1401 01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:14,519 Speaker 1: I have to pretend he's anything other than that? Buck. 1402 01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:17,639 Speaker 1: I'm assuming you've seen the show of Veep, the HBO 1403 01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:20,559 Speaker 1: political show of Veep the Car Yeah, yeah, yeah, if 1404 01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:24,240 Speaker 1: you haven't, the main character of the show, for anybody 1405 01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:26,360 Speaker 1: who hasn't seen the show, has this scene where she 1406 01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:28,600 Speaker 1: decides she wants to go get ice cream, or she 1407 01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:31,120 Speaker 1: wants ice cream, and obviously she wants someone to bring 1408 01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:34,400 Speaker 1: it to her, but her staff convinces her that they 1409 01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:36,639 Speaker 1: should go out in public so she can be seen 1410 01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:40,519 Speaker 1: getting ice cream. And they call it normalizing. And that's 1411 01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:45,120 Speaker 1: Betto's entire life is normalizing. That's why he rides a 1412 01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:48,280 Speaker 1: skateboard and water burger. That's why he takes an obviously 1413 01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:52,360 Speaker 1: can't obviously planned video of him playing air drums in 1414 01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,560 Speaker 1: his car. He's at the dentist. Look, I'm just like you. 1415 01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:59,400 Speaker 1: And it is so funny because he's the ultimate limousine liberal. 1416 01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:02,439 Speaker 1: I believe it's father's a billionaire and he is going 1417 01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:04,680 Speaker 1: to spend the next two years normalize it. That's what 1418 01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:09,000 Speaker 1: he's doing. Yes, and this is why the authenticity say. 1419 01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:10,840 Speaker 1: People can say a lot of things about Trump, and 1420 01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:12,360 Speaker 1: a lot of things they say about him are true. 1421 01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:15,240 Speaker 1: But Trump is like, yeah, I'm a billionaire. I fly 1422 01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:18,280 Speaker 1: around in jets, but I like construction workers. I care 1423 01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:21,000 Speaker 1: about people who work jobs that they work, and whether 1424 01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:23,960 Speaker 1: people like Trump or not, people that work a lot 1425 01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:26,479 Speaker 1: of those jobs think that Trump does care and is 1426 01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:28,240 Speaker 1: trying to help them out. And he's not run around 1427 01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:30,280 Speaker 1: acting like he's a normal dude. He's like, I am 1428 01:23:30,400 --> 01:23:34,120 Speaker 1: not normal. I'm a boss. I'm the Trump. So I 1429 01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:36,880 Speaker 1: just think that I think there's authenticity in owning it. 1430 01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:41,840 Speaker 1: There is, and he's getting his all goal department and 1431 01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:45,280 Speaker 1: he brags about it in his jet, his gigantic Trump's jet. 1432 01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:48,360 Speaker 1: But he does because of his upbringing. I guess his 1433 01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:51,040 Speaker 1: father used to make him work on construction crews. He 1434 01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:53,519 Speaker 1: does speak the language of the common man. And it's 1435 01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:57,320 Speaker 1: very fascinating that he is a New York billionaire, but 1436 01:23:57,479 --> 01:23:59,280 Speaker 1: the common man thinks he's one of him and he 1437 01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:02,080 Speaker 1: loves it. Yeah. And you know, look, oh in Obama 1438 01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:06,439 Speaker 1: lives in effectively a castle in Washington, d C. I mean, 1439 01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:07,960 Speaker 1: you know, he lives in a mansion. There's so many 1440 01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:10,080 Speaker 1: of these people that are are held up on the 1441 01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:13,000 Speaker 1: media as having the common touch in some way or 1442 01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:14,800 Speaker 1: as just being like us. I'm like, this is not. 1443 01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:17,639 Speaker 1: No one gets. No normal person gets a fifty million 1444 01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:19,920 Speaker 1: dollars book advance, by the way, okay, and no one's 1445 01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:22,439 Speaker 1: ever gonna make money back on that. That's just buying 1446 01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:27,000 Speaker 1: off the Obama legacy via the liberal publishing houses. But 1447 01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:30,040 Speaker 1: I got very, very one more important question for you, Jesse, 1448 01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:33,200 Speaker 1: before we let you go. I mean, when push comes 1449 01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:37,840 Speaker 1: to shove, just as as a man, Jesse Kelly, are 1450 01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:42,040 Speaker 1: you more likely if you were forced to wear a 1451 01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:47,040 Speaker 1: Ocasio Cortez twenty I'd have to be like twenty twenty 1452 01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:48,640 Speaker 1: eight or something. She's too young. Let's just say she 1453 01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:53,400 Speaker 1: could run Ocazio Cortez twenty twenty or Kamela Harris twenty twenty. 1454 01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:56,080 Speaker 1: Who gets who? Who is Jesse Kelly gonna wear a 1455 01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:58,640 Speaker 1: T shirt for? I've never been more insolid thought. I 1456 01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:01,280 Speaker 1: can't even believe that's a question. Of course, it's Harris, 1457 01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:07,280 Speaker 1: get out really really well? Come on, Harris is like 1458 01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:10,720 Speaker 1: fifty three and still a dime. Obviously takes care of 1459 01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:13,960 Speaker 1: herself off Harris all day long. Oh the Cortes is 1460 01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:17,920 Speaker 1: not even in that conversation. I might right now. Oh 1461 01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,439 Speaker 1: my gosh, look at that. Jesse Kelly thought us know 1462 01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:22,880 Speaker 1: if if he had to go liberal, he's lett us 1463 01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:26,160 Speaker 1: know who he would support. I sat at the table 1464 01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:29,160 Speaker 1: next to Lauretta Lynch at dinner last night here in DC. 1465 01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:32,320 Speaker 1: It was very swampy, but but I did not, of 1466 01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:35,120 Speaker 1: course disturb or even even a deal with her at all. 1467 01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:38,080 Speaker 1: So there's uh, just just throwing that in there, not 1468 01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:42,080 Speaker 1: for nothing, Jesse Kelly. Everybody nine to fifty k p 1469 01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:45,320 Speaker 1: RC down in Houston. Also follow him on Twitter look 1470 01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:48,800 Speaker 1: for the Jesse Kelly Show. It is excellent. He is excellent, Sir, 1471 01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:52,439 Speaker 1: You're a great American. Have a fantastic weekend. This should 1472 01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:55,160 Speaker 1: be easy to get approved through Congress because the same 1473 01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:58,160 Speaker 1: people that are holding it up have approved it many 1474 01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:01,560 Speaker 1: times before. Ted and Johnamy, they these people approved it 1475 01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:04,320 Speaker 1: just a few years ago, and now all of a 1476 01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:06,160 Speaker 1: sudden there not that they came to me with a 1477 01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:10,280 Speaker 1: package beyond the barrier, and if it was something that 1478 01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:13,280 Speaker 1: we all agreed with, that the Senators agreed with, that 1479 01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:17,719 Speaker 1: everybody liked. It's common sense. Most of this is common sense. 1480 01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:20,960 Speaker 1: I'm all for it. I'm prepared for anything. I'm prepared 1481 01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:25,240 Speaker 1: for the lawyers tell me like one that doesn't stop 1482 01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:28,240 Speaker 1: people from suing. It doesn't stop people from suing. But 1483 01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:31,240 Speaker 1: Trump's right, there should not be that hard talking about 1484 01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:33,840 Speaker 1: the wall we got. We have an expert joining us 1485 01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:40,439 Speaker 1: now on Trump, on walls, on all all things DC, 1486 01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:44,000 Speaker 1: and and just wisdom in life in general. Bennie Johnson 1487 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:48,559 Speaker 1: is with us. He is a daily caller guy Eat 1488 01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:51,240 Speaker 1: does all kinds of great viral videos and posts, and 1489 01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:55,320 Speaker 1: mister Bennie Johnson. Great to have you, sir buck. How 1490 01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:57,760 Speaker 1: are you doing, my bro I'm good man, I'm good. 1491 01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:02,040 Speaker 1: So you know, Trump is wall. I think that the 1492 01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,040 Speaker 1: wall is a great idea. You think the wall needs 1493 01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:08,200 Speaker 1: to happen. You've done some work on walls in the 1494 01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:11,240 Speaker 1: last week or so. What can you tell us about it? Oh? 1495 01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:14,640 Speaker 1: I mean walls are great, right, So think about it. 1496 01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:17,400 Speaker 1: If you live in a house or an apartment, or 1497 01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:19,920 Speaker 1: if you live in a dumpster, you still technically have 1498 01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:22,760 Speaker 1: a house made of walls. And so a lot of 1499 01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:26,439 Speaker 1: people have walls, like really big walls, really fun walls. 1500 01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:29,519 Speaker 1: But typically you're office building where you go to work, 1501 01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:32,360 Speaker 1: where you eat at night, those have walls too, And 1502 01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:35,040 Speaker 1: the world are like a really important part of American society. 1503 01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:38,519 Speaker 1: I've discovered in my research. Fuck, I believe that CNN 1504 01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:41,400 Speaker 1: and I'm not even kidding, has been doing some pieces 1505 01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:46,120 Speaker 1: now on are there places where walls do work? It's like, yes, 1506 01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:50,680 Speaker 1: in fact there are. So so here's a fun thing 1507 01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:53,080 Speaker 1: that we're doing at the Daily Caller. Now we're doing 1508 01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:57,360 Speaker 1: a series called Walls Across America. And what I am 1509 01:27:57,520 --> 01:28:01,200 Speaker 1: doing is as an intrepid on a less buck, I 1510 01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:07,280 Speaker 1: am traveling to wealthy or powerful politicians or influencers or 1511 01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:13,280 Speaker 1: techmoguls or celebrities homes and showing America the walls in 1512 01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:19,320 Speaker 1: which they live behind. The point being that most wealthy 1513 01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:24,640 Speaker 1: or powerful people have walls, big walls, not just the 1514 01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:27,280 Speaker 1: walls that bake your house, but big giant walls with 1515 01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:31,920 Speaker 1: security fences around their house, keeping people from even entering 1516 01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:35,639 Speaker 1: what they hold dear, the property they hold deal deer, 1517 01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:40,360 Speaker 1: and the people they hold dear. We've done one with Obama, 1518 01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:44,200 Speaker 1: and we're about to launch item number two, series numbers, 1519 01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:47,599 Speaker 1: the second in the series. This one's gonna be a doozy. 1520 01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:52,720 Speaker 1: This wall was amazing, amazing Buccas in Long Island and 1521 01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:55,400 Speaker 1: it's uh, you know. The point I guess is is 1522 01:28:55,479 --> 01:29:00,040 Speaker 1: ultimately not to direct people for wanting their houses and 1523 01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:03,479 Speaker 1: their loved ones and their treasure to be secure, but 1524 01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:07,280 Speaker 1: just to prove that walls do indeed work to protect 1525 01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:10,200 Speaker 1: those kind of things. Should America have one? But you know, 1526 01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:15,320 Speaker 1: I saw Jim Acosta down at the border, and Jim 1527 01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:19,120 Speaker 1: Acosta was standing at a wall and said, oh, here, 1528 01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:21,040 Speaker 1: I am at a wall, and I don't see a 1529 01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:24,680 Speaker 1: lot of violence. So maybe walls don't work. Explain that 1530 01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:28,120 Speaker 1: one to me. So this is one of the one 1531 01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:32,800 Speaker 1: of the more magnificent cell phones in the history of 1532 01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:36,439 Speaker 1: American journalism. I do wonder if Jim Acosta is a 1533 01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:40,439 Speaker 1: false flag operation, if he is just an actual major 1534 01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:46,000 Speaker 1: Trump supporter who was like created, you know, created in 1535 01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:50,360 Speaker 1: sometimes experimental laboratory to just make every conservatives point for them. 1536 01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:52,880 Speaker 1: What he did was he traveled to a part of 1537 01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:56,439 Speaker 1: Texas McCallan, Texas where there is a massive steel wall, 1538 01:29:56,920 --> 01:29:58,400 Speaker 1: a kind of wall that Trump wants to put in 1539 01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:01,320 Speaker 1: the border, and he posted the smugly talking about how 1540 01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:04,439 Speaker 1: safe he felt and how wonderful he felt, and how 1541 01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:07,040 Speaker 1: there was no crime and no violence around this wall. This, 1542 01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:13,800 Speaker 1: of course, is proving Trump's point exactly. Somehow, somehow Jimmacosta 1543 01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:16,080 Speaker 1: thought he was owning the cons by doing this. I 1544 01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:20,200 Speaker 1: don't really know what exactly what goes on in his head. He's, uh, 1545 01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:25,519 Speaker 1: you know, one of one of the more confusing reporters 1546 01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:28,800 Speaker 1: because he does quite regularly prove the opposite of the 1547 01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:32,000 Speaker 1: point he's trying to make. Indeed, he does well, Benny, 1548 01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:35,240 Speaker 1: please keep up your work on walls, please please, sir, 1549 01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:39,360 Speaker 1: keep on owning those libs and where should folks go 1550 01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:42,000 Speaker 1: to see your latest work, your series owned Walls and 1551 01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:45,600 Speaker 1: all other things.

Yeah. I know it's not 1578 01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:23,160 Speaker 1: the best, it's not the best rendition of the song, 1579 01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:28,120 Speaker 1: but you're excited because it is in fact the weekend, 1580 01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:31,519 Speaker 1: and that's a good thing. Let's get to it. I 1581 01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:37,920 Speaker 1: found a cash of Team Buck emails that I wanted 1582 01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:41,479 Speaker 1: to share with you. They were coming via Bucksexen dot com, 1583 01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:43,960 Speaker 1: which we have had under maintenance. I think you could 1584 01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:45,360 Speaker 1: still go to it, but we've had it under maintenance 1585 01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:48,120 Speaker 1: a little while. We are slowly but surely planning a 1586 01:32:48,320 --> 01:32:51,800 Speaker 1: revamp of all things of all things Team Buck and 1587 01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:56,160 Speaker 1: bucksexen dot com related, so I wanted you to be 1588 01:32:56,439 --> 01:33:00,320 Speaker 1: aware of that, and with that, I will get to 1589 01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:02,840 Speaker 1: some of these emails that have been sent to me 1590 01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:06,000 Speaker 1: that I did not even know. We're there, all right? 1591 01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:09,360 Speaker 1: This was I don't even know when this was sent. 1592 01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:11,120 Speaker 1: I just got this catch of emails. This is from 1593 01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:14,160 Speaker 1: Brian who wrote to us at bucksx dot com. Buck, 1594 01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:17,120 Speaker 1: You've been hitting the subject of media dishonesty and loss 1595 01:33:17,160 --> 01:33:20,519 Speaker 1: of integrity for many weeks. Now, listen to you talk 1596 01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:23,519 Speaker 1: is like listening to me talk, only I have better hair. 1597 01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:28,439 Speaker 1: Whoa fake news? The funny thing is the media knew 1598 01:33:28,479 --> 01:33:30,360 Speaker 1: that they were going to lose their power, or at 1599 01:33:30,439 --> 01:33:32,080 Speaker 1: least they had the idea they were going to lose 1600 01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:36,000 Speaker 1: their power. Back in twenty twelve, WikiLeaks exposed emails between 1601 01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:38,400 Speaker 1: CNN and Clinton that bore out the idea that because 1602 01:33:38,439 --> 01:33:40,679 Speaker 1: of the Internet, the media would no longer be able 1603 01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:43,439 Speaker 1: to hold their spell over the American people. The Internet 1604 01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:45,560 Speaker 1: would allow people to look around and outside of the 1605 01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:48,719 Speaker 1: media narrative and find the actual truth. In modern times, 1606 01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:51,160 Speaker 1: we have recognized this and discovered that it is true. 1607 01:33:51,520 --> 01:33:53,720 Speaker 1: But back when the Clinton machine was trying to take over, 1608 01:33:53,840 --> 01:33:57,160 Speaker 1: they were already talking about it. Happily, they were unable 1609 01:33:57,200 --> 01:33:59,679 Speaker 1: to stop the momentum of that occurrence, and now people 1610 01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:01,360 Speaker 1: like you and me can see the media and the 1611 01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:05,080 Speaker 1: government media complex for what it is. Hopefully their time 1612 01:34:05,200 --> 01:34:07,240 Speaker 1: is over or drawing to a close, and then we 1613 01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:10,040 Speaker 1: can actually have an honest national discussion about what our 1614 01:34:10,080 --> 01:34:14,000 Speaker 1: country is and where does going shields Hie Brian, Yeah, Brian, 1615 01:34:14,040 --> 01:34:16,599 Speaker 1: I think that the sense we have of the media 1616 01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:19,720 Speaker 1: has dramatically changed, and I think that this is a 1617 01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:24,560 Speaker 1: good thing. And that's why the media in general is 1618 01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:29,879 Speaker 1: so both sanctimonious and defensive at the same time, because 1619 01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:32,360 Speaker 1: they're trying to hold on to what they have. They 1620 01:34:32,439 --> 01:34:36,679 Speaker 1: know that it's eventually losing battle, and they're very angry 1621 01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:39,680 Speaker 1: about it. In the meantime, they're very much trying to 1622 01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:43,559 Speaker 1: push back on all of this. So yes, absolutely, all 1623 01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:51,240 Speaker 1: all true, and I think your observations are astute. Matt right. 1624 01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:54,679 Speaker 1: Oh no, Andy, not Matt. Sorry, Andy writes, I love 1625 01:34:54,720 --> 01:34:58,240 Speaker 1: your two hours on Vlad the Impaler back in twenty fifteen. 1626 01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:01,000 Speaker 1: Love it so much that did even more research on 1627 01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:04,760 Speaker 1: that time period and just completed and a script for 1628 01:35:04,840 --> 01:35:10,679 Speaker 1: an hour long episode factional show about Vlad's father's rise 1629 01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:14,360 Speaker 1: and fall. Thanks again, well, Andy, that sounds really cool, man, 1630 01:35:14,640 --> 01:35:17,599 Speaker 1: and I'm glad you enjoyed the Lad. Vlad the Impale 1631 01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:22,960 Speaker 1: Little the episode of Dragola Purginal though, of my impression 1632 01:35:23,200 --> 01:35:25,479 Speaker 1: of Napoleon Dynamite in the office, and ivern't thought it 1633 01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:27,680 Speaker 1: was really good, which is funny because I've actually never 1634 01:35:27,720 --> 01:35:31,439 Speaker 1: seen Napoleon Dynamite. But but I'd like my Vlad the 1635 01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:36,600 Speaker 1: Impale little impression. That's fun. It's probably annoying to hear, though. Yeah. No, 1636 01:35:36,680 --> 01:35:39,920 Speaker 1: that's an amazing story of that of Vlad and Vlad's dad, 1637 01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:43,840 Speaker 1: the Order of the Dragon, really interesting period in history. 1638 01:35:44,120 --> 01:35:46,679 Speaker 1: My dream is to one day do some of those 1639 01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:51,680 Speaker 1: battles as a scripted series for Netflix or something like that. 1640 01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:53,880 Speaker 1: That would really if I could kind of pick a 1641 01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:55,559 Speaker 1: job that I could just do, I think that would 1642 01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:59,479 Speaker 1: be it. I would do a probably a whole Battle 1643 01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:03,960 Speaker 1: of Lapan until miniseries. That would be boss. That'll be amazing, dude, 1644 01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:06,760 Speaker 1: that's a six episode I think six. You could do 1645 01:36:06,880 --> 01:36:09,760 Speaker 1: six hour long episodes for the Battleful Panto and it 1646 01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:12,519 Speaker 1: would because remember there were the battles before that led 1647 01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:14,120 Speaker 1: up to it. You could cover some of that and 1648 01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:16,720 Speaker 1: they I've already got it scripted out of my head. 1649 01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:20,280 Speaker 1: I've been watching Battlestar Galactica. So many of you have 1650 01:36:20,439 --> 01:36:22,479 Speaker 1: told me in the past that it's a great show. 1651 01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:29,759 Speaker 1: I'm not loving it. I'm not a huge fan. I'm trying, Guys, 1652 01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:32,720 Speaker 1: I want to like it, but I just have not 1653 01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:38,479 Speaker 1: found Battlestar Galactica to be my thing. John writes, Buck, 1654 01:36:38,520 --> 01:36:41,559 Speaker 1: I was just listening to the Friday program, and yesterday 1655 01:36:41,600 --> 01:36:44,040 Speaker 1: I spent some time looking for a source for ring 1656 01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:48,000 Speaker 1: tones on my iPhone. I'm looking for lock her up 1657 01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:53,320 Speaker 1: and CNN sucks. Can you help. I don't know if 1658 01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:56,320 Speaker 1: there's ring tones for those, but there should be, and 1659 01:36:56,760 --> 01:37:02,400 Speaker 1: I appreciate you writing in and raising the question. Let's 1660 01:37:02,439 --> 01:37:04,840 Speaker 1: see we have more emails come in here and this 1661 01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:07,680 Speaker 1: one says, oh, this is from Matthew. Oh, this one 1662 01:37:07,840 --> 01:37:11,040 Speaker 1: is long, Buck. I heard you asking about the official 1663 01:37:11,080 --> 01:37:14,360 Speaker 1: food of Chicago once. You were asking about deep dish 1664 01:37:14,439 --> 01:37:18,240 Speaker 1: pizza versus Polish sausage. It's a little more involved than that. 1665 01:37:18,880 --> 01:37:20,840 Speaker 1: First of all, the deep dish pizza is more of 1666 01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:24,280 Speaker 1: a tourist trap type food. There are some famous restaurants 1667 01:37:24,360 --> 01:37:26,519 Speaker 1: for deep dish, but I would say locals in the 1668 01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:28,599 Speaker 1: region do not go out of their way for deep dish. 1669 01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:31,080 Speaker 1: In fact, growing up, I never had a deep dish 1670 01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:35,200 Speaker 1: or so called Chicago style pizza until I moved away. 1671 01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:38,360 Speaker 1: These places selling deep dish in the area. You're usually 1672 01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:39,920 Speaker 1: forced to go when you have a family or friends 1673 01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:42,120 Speaker 1: visiting because that's what they want, or maybe a visiting 1674 01:37:42,200 --> 01:37:46,160 Speaker 1: coworker because they insist you're done after a piece and 1675 01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:48,280 Speaker 1: you always regret it. Yeah. I don't even know what 1676 01:37:48,360 --> 01:37:52,360 Speaker 1: deep dish pizza. I guess it's just really thick pizza. 1677 01:37:52,439 --> 01:37:54,240 Speaker 1: That sounds kind of I'll be honest, that sounds kind 1678 01:37:54,240 --> 01:37:57,560 Speaker 1: of gross. The more authentic Chicago pizza is what is 1679 01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:01,000 Speaker 1: referred to as tavern style. This is a thin crust 1680 01:38:01,200 --> 01:38:04,920 Speaker 1: pizza cut into squares, so not your traditional East Coast slice, 1681 01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:08,479 Speaker 1: but a square piece. The smaller square pieces a light it. 1682 01:38:08,520 --> 01:38:10,880 Speaker 1: Pace yourself and try different pizzas at a party, for instance. 1683 01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:13,200 Speaker 1: You're not stuck with a big piece blah blah blah. 1684 01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:16,920 Speaker 1: The official food of that region is Chicago Land. Of 1685 01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:19,360 Speaker 1: the region that is Chicago Land would be a five 1686 01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:25,479 Speaker 1: way tie. Italian beef sandwiches, Polish sausage, Chicago style hot dogs, 1687 01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:32,360 Speaker 1: no catchup allowed, thin or tavern style pizza, and pirogie. Wow. 1688 01:38:32,400 --> 01:38:35,559 Speaker 1: I've not had any of those things, I think ever. 1689 01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:38,760 Speaker 1: Then again, I've also never really spent much. I've been 1690 01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:42,280 Speaker 1: to Chicago, but I've never really done Chicago. Something I'm 1691 01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:45,360 Speaker 1: gonna have to I'm gonna have to change. But I'm 1692 01:38:45,400 --> 01:38:47,200 Speaker 1: not gonna change it now because I hear it's rather 1693 01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:50,920 Speaker 1: cold this time of year. So that is a little 1694 01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:58,280 Speaker 1: bit a little bit different. This is Matt. Here we go. Whoops, No, 1695 01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:01,120 Speaker 1: I already had Matt before. You know what I'm gonna do. Team.

But now I'm gonna switch back to Facebook. 1698 01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:07,920 Speaker 1: So when I come back, we'll get into our role 1699 01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:12,040 Speaker 1: call on Facebook dot com.

I mean, 1704 01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:38,479 Speaker 1: I mean tiptop health. I wouldn't say tiptop shape right now. 1705 01:39:38,479 --> 01:39:40,920 Speaker 1: A little bit busy to get to the gym.

M did the whole.

You only see them in 1713 01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:09,240 Speaker 1: doctor's offices. Everyone else has digital scales now. But pushing 1714 01:40:09,320 --> 01:40:11,920 Speaker 1: the pushing the little weighted part a little more, a 1715 01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:16,240 Speaker 1: little more. I felt, I felt judged, felt a little judged. 1716 01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:21,160 Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm thinking because lean mean analysis machine.

That said, 1741 01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,040 Speaker 1: I can appreciate that you're a man who's willing to 1742 01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:45,880 Speaker 1: march to the beat of his own drum on that one. 1743 01:41:46,160 --> 01:41:50,240 Speaker 1: So yep, there we go, Tool.

I've heard of it, but I can't 1746 01:41:56,720 --> 01:42:01,080 Speaker 1: even think of a song by Tool. TJ Rights whoop. 1747 01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:04,479 Speaker 1: That federal employee that you guys interviewed for Rising doesn't 1748 01:42:04,520 --> 01:42:07,160 Speaker 1: sound like she's doing everything she can to keep from 1749 01:42:07,240 --> 01:42:10,200 Speaker 1: having to sell her car. I'm sorry, but why would 1750 01:42:10,200 --> 01:42:12,000 Speaker 1: you be out protesting if you might have to sell 1751 01:42:12,080 --> 01:42:14,840 Speaker 1: your car tomorrow. You just said you have a temp job. 1752 01:42:15,120 --> 01:42:18,040 Speaker 1: Shouldn't you be working there? Also, if missing your paycheck 1753 01:42:18,080 --> 01:42:20,599 Speaker 1: today means missing a car payment, which means losing your car, 1754 01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:24,800 Speaker 1: then you're probably already way behind on payments. Seems like 1755 01:42:24,920 --> 01:42:27,240 Speaker 1: lots of these federal employees have been spoiled for far 1756 01:42:27,360 --> 01:42:30,479 Speaker 1: too long and quite apparently do not know how to 1757 01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:33,400 Speaker 1: save money. I'm sure there are people hurting out there, 1758 01:42:33,680 --> 01:42:36,400 Speaker 1: but they should try petitioning their church parish instead of 1759 01:42:36,520 --> 01:42:39,519 Speaker 1: protesting the government. You're gonna find a lot more empathy 1760 01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:42,559 Speaker 1: under God's roof than from the hand of the federal government. 1761 01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:48,559 Speaker 1: Rant over shields high TJ. TJ is bringing the bringing 1762 01:42:48,640 --> 01:42:51,360 Speaker 1: the salty stuff here, man, TJ. I would agree with you. 1763 01:42:51,439 --> 01:42:54,080 Speaker 1: People have been asking me, They're like, why would why 1764 01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:58,640 Speaker 1: would people be losing their house and going, you know, 1765 01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:02,519 Speaker 1: having all these terrible financial consequence is happening. Nancy Pelosi 1766 01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:04,280 Speaker 1: saying that it's going to damage their credit all this 1767 01:43:04,320 --> 01:43:08,200 Speaker 1: stuff if you miss one paycheck, when I mean, I 1768 01:43:08,400 --> 01:43:10,360 Speaker 1: know for a fact with credit cards, you've got to 1769 01:43:10,360 --> 01:43:13,800 Speaker 1: be thirty days late for it to even possibly be 1770 01:43:13,920 --> 01:43:16,640 Speaker 1: reported to the credit agencies, and the damage of a 1771 01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:19,639 Speaker 1: thirty day late payment is pretty minimal. A ninety day 1772 01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:23,120 Speaker 1: late payment is a problem. So that you know, that's 1773 01:43:24,240 --> 01:43:26,600 Speaker 1: unless they've changed the way those algorithms and all that 1774 01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:32,519 Speaker 1: stuff work. So Harry, have it, James, right, hibuck. Regarding 1775 01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:36,040 Speaker 1: the possibility of the president declaring a crisis at the border, 1776 01:43:36,560 --> 01:43:38,880 Speaker 1: we can argue that if it was wrong for obamaous 1777 01:43:38,920 --> 01:43:41,800 Speaker 1: circumvent Congress to get what he wanted DACA, then it's 1778 01:43:41,880 --> 01:43:44,760 Speaker 1: also wrong to do the same for Trump. Though I 1779 01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:47,679 Speaker 1: agree in principle these two situations are not the same 1780 01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:50,920 Speaker 1: and both sides aren't playing by the same rules. Plus 1781 01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:53,479 Speaker 1: Trump may actually have the law on his side. I 1782 01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:56,400 Speaker 1: suppose you could consider the so called dreamers a crisis, 1783 01:43:56,760 --> 01:44:01,000 Speaker 1: but a crisis to who a legal aliens or US citizen? Also, 1784 01:44:01,120 --> 01:44:02,720 Speaker 1: are we to believe that there is some type of 1785 01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:07,280 Speaker 1: statute of limitations on a crisis? That is, you either 1786 01:44:07,400 --> 01:44:09,920 Speaker 1: don't recognize it or unable to deal with it at 1787 01:44:09,960 --> 01:44:12,600 Speaker 1: its inception, it cannot be called the crisis. I know 1788 01:44:12,680 --> 01:44:14,479 Speaker 1: it just crammed a lot in there, but I'm sure 1789 01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:17,000 Speaker 1: you can handle it. Sincerely, James, Well, James, thank you, 1790 01:44:17,479 --> 01:44:20,519 Speaker 1: and I think I probably hopefully can handle it. The 1791 01:44:21,160 --> 01:44:23,920 Speaker 1: issue of the president declaring a national emergency or a 1792 01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:27,040 Speaker 1: national crisis, whatever we're going to call it, is an 1793 01:44:27,080 --> 01:44:31,000 Speaker 1: important one to take very seriously. But there is a statute. 1794 01:44:31,080 --> 01:44:34,400 Speaker 1: Remember we had Andy McCarthy on to talk about this 1795 01:44:34,640 --> 01:44:36,800 Speaker 1: in detail and even to read the statute. There is 1796 01:44:36,800 --> 01:44:43,920 Speaker 1: a statute that Congress past that says the president can 1797 01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:48,920 Speaker 1: do this. And there's also in that statute a place 1798 01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:53,120 Speaker 1: where the Congress can stop the president from that action. 1799 01:44:53,560 --> 01:44:55,880 Speaker 1: So there is a check and a built in check 1800 01:44:56,000 --> 01:44:59,040 Speaker 1: on that power from the Congress. I think it's a 1801 01:44:59,080 --> 01:45:01,680 Speaker 1: two thirds majority, but you know what that means that 1802 01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:03,560 Speaker 1: the president can't just say, yeah, there's a crisis, so 1803 01:45:03,640 --> 01:45:07,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to go seize everybody's assault weapons. Well, one, 1804 01:45:07,400 --> 01:45:12,000 Speaker 1: that would be flatly unconstitutional, and two, the Congress could say, actually, 1805 01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:15,640 Speaker 1: you're not going to do that. But this is this 1806 01:45:15,960 --> 01:45:19,800 Speaker 1: is serious stuff. I mean, I'm not going to and 1807 01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:22,720 Speaker 1: I'm not going to downplay what it means for the 1808 01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:25,439 Speaker 1: President to say I'm taking this action because there is 1809 01:45:25,439 --> 01:45:27,840 Speaker 1: a terrible crisis at our southern border. You know, I'm 1810 01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:32,680 Speaker 1: not going to pretend that that's not a combustible situation 1811 01:45:32,840 --> 01:45:37,439 Speaker 1: that also sets a precedent that future administrations may in 1812 01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:42,400 Speaker 1: fact abuse. Obama took flatly constitutional actions on a number 1813 01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:45,880 Speaker 1: of occasions and was stopped by the courts on a 1814 01:45:45,960 --> 01:45:49,880 Speaker 1: number of occasions. You know, Obama's administration thought they could 1815 01:45:49,920 --> 01:45:52,479 Speaker 1: tell the Senate when it was and was not in recess. 1816 01:45:52,960 --> 01:45:54,640 Speaker 1: You know that there were things that are and then 1817 01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:58,840 Speaker 1: there was obviously DACA, and the administration was trying to 1818 01:45:58,960 --> 01:46:03,439 Speaker 1: find ways to just use executive power, and we were saying, then, hey, 1819 01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:07,920 Speaker 1: this is not acceptable, this is not within the scope 1820 01:46:07,960 --> 01:46:11,440 Speaker 1: of presidential authority. But the Libs and the little cheerleaders 1821 01:46:11,439 --> 01:46:13,800 Speaker 1: in the media all went along with it. Well, now 1822 01:46:13,880 --> 01:46:16,880 Speaker 1: we're looking at Trump having the authority, but is it 1823 01:46:16,960 --> 01:46:19,200 Speaker 1: a good idea for him to use the authority. That's 1824 01:46:19,240 --> 01:46:22,640 Speaker 1: a different that's a different thing. But just because he 1825 01:46:22,720 --> 01:46:25,960 Speaker 1: has the authority, it does not mean necessarily he should 1826 01:46:26,040 --> 01:46:27,320 Speaker 1: use it. But in this case, I think he should 1827 01:46:27,360 --> 01:46:32,240 Speaker 1: because I believe that the border is a massive problem 1828 01:46:32,360 --> 01:46:36,240 Speaker 1: for the country going forward and has been a problem 1829 01:46:36,320 --> 01:46:39,679 Speaker 1: that we've been told to ignore for far too long. 1830 01:46:39,960 --> 01:46:43,280 Speaker 1: So I'm with the president on taking the most bold 1831 01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:47,960 Speaker 1: action he can on this. Karen Right's most hilarious German 1832 01:46:48,040 --> 01:46:51,559 Speaker 1: movie I have ever seen is Goodbye Lenin about how 1833 01:46:51,680 --> 01:46:56,040 Speaker 1: things change when the Berlin Wall came down and Germany reunited. 1834 01:46:57,840 --> 01:46:59,920 Speaker 1: I've never heard of that, nor have I seen it, 1835 01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:03,000 Speaker 1: but it sounds interesting, So Karen, thank you for bringing 1836 01:47:03,040 --> 01:47:08,280 Speaker 1: it to my attention. David writes, Buck shields High. You 1837 01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:10,759 Speaker 1: must have said something a little too accurate. I listened 1838 01:47:10,800 --> 01:47:14,599 Speaker 1: on podcasts and for some reason, your podcast on Google 1839 01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:18,120 Speaker 1: Play goes into perpetual loading. No other podcasts on their 1840 01:47:18,160 --> 01:47:21,400 Speaker 1: site is having this issue. FYI, Hey guys, is that happening. 1841 01:47:22,520 --> 01:47:28,320 Speaker 1: We gotta send Google a angry email. Stop stop trying 1842 01:47:28,360 --> 01:47:31,200 Speaker 1: to put Buck in a corner. Nobody puts Buck in 1843 01:47:31,240 --> 01:47:34,479 Speaker 1: a corner. Dan writes Buck, I'm sure you can find 1844 01:47:34,479 --> 01:47:36,600 Speaker 1: the video or sound by from twenty sixteen debates and 1845 01:47:36,680 --> 01:47:39,240 Speaker 1: rallies where Trump said one way to have Mexico pay 1846 01:47:39,280 --> 01:47:41,960 Speaker 1: for the wall was to levy a fee or attacks 1847 01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:43,839 Speaker 1: and all the money transfers in the US to Mexico. 1848 01:47:44,439 --> 01:47:46,479 Speaker 1: But you are correct. You never said they would write it, 1849 01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:48,400 Speaker 1: that he would write a check. Yeah, no, Dan, I know, 1850 01:47:49,080 --> 01:47:52,519 Speaker 1: and look at their campaign rhetoric. No matter what president 1851 01:47:52,560 --> 01:47:55,719 Speaker 1: we're talking about campaign rhetoric tends to be a little 1852 01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:59,000 Speaker 1: a little uh, you know, a little fast and loose. 1853 01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:02,080 Speaker 1: People will tend not to be held to every word 1854 01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:03,760 Speaker 1: they say in the campaign trail. Yeah, we got to 1855 01:48:03,800 --> 01:48:05,920 Speaker 1: hold people to the big promises, the important stuff. But 1856 01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:09,000 Speaker 1: you know, all of a sudden, we're we're going to 1857 01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:11,479 Speaker 1: assume that everything that a politician says when they're running 1858 01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:14,519 Speaker 1: for president, they will be held to every word of it. 1859 01:48:14,880 --> 01:48:17,640 Speaker 1: That's that's quite a standard, and I don't think it's 1860 01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:21,120 Speaker 1: a standard that you know, I don't think it's a 1861 01:48:21,160 --> 01:48:24,760 Speaker 1: standard that we have held other presidents to. Republican order. 1862 01:48:24,760 --> 01:48:31,599 Speaker 1: Democrat Tommy writes buck take San Diego, Cafe Sevilla, hash House, 1863 01:48:31,760 --> 01:48:36,000 Speaker 1: a Go Go great places, and pro gluten free.
