1
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hudge. President Trump makes the

2
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: right move and walks away from Kim Jong UN's non

3
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: offer offer in Hanoi. We'll talk about where this leaves

4
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: nuclear diplomacy going forward, the aftermath of Cohen's smear session

5
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: up on Capitol Hill that's coming up. And also the

6
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: Green New Deal supposed to create millions of jobs. They say,

7
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: but that's not true. We'll talk about why in just

8
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: a moment. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the

9
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: mission or mission is to decode what really matters with

10
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American Ready, you're a great

11
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: American Again, The Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy.

12
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: No well has risen up. The other side will say,

13
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: it's about a job loser. It isn't. It's about jobs, jobs, jobs,

14
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: It's a health issue, clean air, clean water, it is

15
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: a defense issue. All Great American programs, everything from the

16
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: Great Society to the New Deal, started with a vision

17
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: for our future. Progressive taxation, an ultra millionaires tax. We

18
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,919
Speaker 1: can make a big down payment on a Green New Deal.

19
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: Absolutely the minimum that we need to do in order

20
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: to stave off planetary disaster. The idea of farting cows.

21
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: The methane released from cows comes more from belching than

22
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: it does farting. This is so incredible. This is such

23
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: a major watershed moment, and I am so incredibly excited

24
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: that we are going to transition this country into the

25
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: future and we are not going to be dragged behind

26
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: by our past. No. I think it is a green dream.

27
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: It is, it is. The green dream is a nightmare.

28
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: My friends. Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. So big

29
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: news of the day, of course, is there's no deal

30
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: out of no deal with the North Koreans out of Vietnam.

31
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: You had the testimony behind closed doors to Michael Cohen.

32
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: We're going to cover a lot of ground today. GDP

33
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: numbers came in. They're good, not amazing, but good. We'll

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: talk about why. My friend Matty Duppler, who's an expert

35
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: on these things. She's a number super nerd, and I

36
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: say that in the best possible way. She'll be joining

37
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: us later on the show to talk about what this

38
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: means for the economy. How's the economy looking going into

39
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. My contention is that if the economy is strong,

40
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: Trump is unbeatable going into twenty twenty. But we are

41
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: due for a recession, folks, So that's not that's not

42
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: going to be a done deal. And Trump is going

43
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: to have to do a lot to make sure that

44
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 1: we don't hit some kind of a cyclical bump right

45
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: in time for some socialist wave to sweep. It doesn't

46
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: have to sweep all of America, just has to flip

47
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: a few hundred thousand votes come twenty twenty, and all

48
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you have a President Warren or President

49
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: Sanders or you know, you name it, and they're all

50
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: they're all signing onto this They're all signing onto this

51
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: Green New Deal nonsense. All these presidential contenders so far,

52
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: the major ones, have said this is what they want

53
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: to do. So what I did today, and we'll get

54
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: into the nuclear diplomacy and what I see from what

55
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,839
Speaker 1: happened in North Korea that'll come up maybe a little

56
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: bit later this hour. And I wanted to take a

57
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: slightly different approach today and not allow what happened yesterday

58
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: to continue to go on, which is where the left

59
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: determines what the narrative is. Right. The left determines that

60
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: we're all because at a certain level, if there's enough

61
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: saturation coverage of something, even though how much do you

62
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: really even care about what Cohen said yesterday? It was

63
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: really a waste of everybody's time, not really anything new,

64
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: certainly nothing of any substance or importance, and just Cohen

65
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: acting like the sly, dishonest disgrace that he is. But

66
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: that was such a focus that there were a lot

67
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: of other things that got pushed aside, like, for example,

68
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: the nuclear diplomacy in Hanoi, And so I want us

69
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: focus more on that today, very little on Cohen, but

70
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: also on some of the deep dive that I did

71
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: on my own. Well I do all of this on

72
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: my own, of course, but some of the deep dive

73
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: into the Green New Deal, and specifically this idea that

74
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: the Green New Deal is going to be an economic

75
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: boost and will create millions of new, high paying jobs

76
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: for the twenty first century economy. This is not new,

77
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: by the way, this idea, this talking point, which is

78
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: really that the center of the Democrat Party's platform right

79
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: now is socialized medicine. They're going to call it Medicare

80
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 1: for all, but what they want is socialized medicine. Medicare

81
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: for all is just like Obamacare was a way to

82
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: get there. They want socialized medicine and they want a

83
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: Green New Deal. Now you might think, really, why such

84
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: a focus on this, and amnesty too, but they're not

85
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: talking about amnesty yet. That's also coming. This was the

86
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 1: triad of terribles from the Obama administration. First thing Obama

87
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: did Obamacare, right, that was the very first thing he did.

88
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: Second thing he tried to do is get through amnesty

89
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: with that. Remember that Gang of Eight bill, and oh

90
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: we need to do and the Dreamers and DACA. The

91
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: third thing was in climate change, and he wasn't able

92
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: to get that. But those were the Those are the

93
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: three dreams of the status left, because if you get

94
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: those things, it's all over for limited government, conservatism, free

95
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: market capitalism, all that stuff. Just it doesn't evaporate overnight,

96
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: but it is in permanent recession, perhaps never to come back.

97
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: They know this, and that's why they focus so much

98
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: on those areas. But the Green New Deal is front

99
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: and center right now. Mitch McConnell in a he's a

100
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: KG character, Mitch. He knows what's up. He wants to

101
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: try to force them to vote. He's not making a

102
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: vote on it yet. It may not vote on it

103
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: till before the August recess, So he wants them to

104
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: have to take positions now and then we'll see where

105
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: they are on the vote later. Merchant's a smart guy.

106
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: You gotta give Mitch some credit. But I wanted to

107
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: look into some of the the things that are said

108
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: about the Green New Deal that just strike me as

109
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: either implausible or flatly untrue. And the biggest one is

110
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: that it's going to create all of these jobs, that

111
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: there's going to be this explosion of great millions. They say,

112
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: millions and millions of jobs. Well, when you look into

113
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: what the real plans are of organizations that promote this

114
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: Green New Deal, when you look into what they're trying

115
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: to do, you see that there's a tremendous amount of

116
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: room for waste, fraud, nonsense, terrible, terrible planning. And that's

117
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: what this is all about. Central planning. The Green New

118
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: Deal allows central planning to become our way of life.

119
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: Everything will be centrally planned because the environment and environmentalism

120
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: affects everything that you do, the products you use, the

121
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: house you live in, the way you heat your home,

122
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: the way you cool your home, the way you get

123
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: to work, the way you sit at work, the way

124
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: everything you do is affected by this Green New Deal ideology.

125
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: But when you start to break it into its component parts,

126
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: and I read today, and I gotta tell you, there's

127
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: not a lot of great research you'll find on the

128
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: Green New Deal one, because it's a that they've made

129
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: the concept relatively new. Although we have Obama right to

130
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: play that. This is Obama from when he was president

131
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: and talking about this play it. We will increase oil

132
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: production here in the United States. Yes, we can drill more,

133
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: but drilling is not a long term solution to our problem,

134
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: not even close. And that's why I will invest one

135
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty billion dollars over the next decade, working

136
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: in partnership with states and local governments and the private sector.

137
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: We are going to invest in affordable renewable sources of energy,

138
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: wind power, on solar power, and the next generation of biofuels.

139
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: An investment that will lead to new industries and five

140
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: million new jobs that pay well and cannot be outsourced.

141
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: Five million jobs that pay well and cannot be outsourced. Well,

142
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: let me tell you something about Obama that you may

143
00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: not know. The Obama stimulus package included billion of dollars

144
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: set aside for what we would call Green New Deal

145
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: style programs. And you know what really happened. Some of

146
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: these companies that are getting massive government subsidies used money

147
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: to buy windmills or solar farms, wind turbines, or solar

148
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: farms or rather solar panels overseas and then use them

149
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: for their own purposes. They weren't creating jobs. Here. We

150
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: know from Cylindra that the economic model, remember that Cylinder,

151
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: the Obama administration boondoggle, hundreds of millions of dollars of

152
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: loan guarantees for Cylindra. So that just means that they

153
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: can lose money. And when they lose too much money,

154
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: the taxpayer fills in the gap. And that was a

155
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: Department of Energy program. By the way, they couldn't make

156
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: it work. They were losing money on all the energy

157
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: they were creating. Now fast forward to today. So Obama

158
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: had this plan too. Obama love this idea, and it

159
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: didn't work. Now we've also seen what's happened in Europe

160
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: where they've been pursuing some of what they their own

161
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: versions of the Green New Deal. And guess what, despite

162
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: enormous investments and I hate that word investment, because you

163
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: know what investment is. They're taking your money, They are

164
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: taking your taxes. And when you're getting ready like me

165
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: to write out a check in the next few weeks

166
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: to the government to pay your taxes so that you

167
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: can continue to be a freeman who doesn't go to prison.

168
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: Remember that they want to take that and say it's

169
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: an investment and give it to somebody who says they're

170
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:37,479
Speaker 1: doing the work of saving the planet by creating green energy.

171
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: Germany has had flat carbon emissions despite five hundred and

172
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: billion dollars of investment that they've set aside by twenty

173
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: twenty five in a renewable heavy electrical grid, and they've

174
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: had a fifty percent rise in electricity costs. France has

175
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: a tenth to carbon emissions. This was done a piece

176
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: today I saw on Quilette. It was amazing. A tenth

177
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: of the carbon emissions per unit of electricity is Germany

178
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: and pays a little more than half for its electricity.

179
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: How through nuclear power. Nuclear power, if they're serious about

180
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: clean energy and having affordable electricity, is what we should

181
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: be doing. And yet the left hates nuclear power. Why

182
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: because of the propaganda against it, Because it's not part

183
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: of their belief system, because the Green New Deal is

184
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: based on a religious belief system. Nuclear doesn't that's not clean,

185
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: that's not even though it actually is. There's waste from it,

186
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: but the waste is very minimal and small, and the

187
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: risk of nuclear some kind of a nuclear meltdown situations,

188
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: very very very small nuclear power. If we were just

189
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: being serious about our future when it comes to energy

190
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,599
Speaker 1: creation would be way more effective. But people are obsessed

191
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: with solar and wind. That's what they really want. Well,

192
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: there are cost of solar and wind. You can figure

193
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: out what they are just by thinking through it. They

194
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: estimate that wind power which and this would all This

195
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: is what the Green New Deal would be. The Green

196
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: New Deal would be enormous amounts of taxpayer dollars flooding

197
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: into buying land and clearing it for solar farms, because

198
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: that's really what you need. You need a lot of

199
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: solar panels to generate enough electricity to power you know,

200
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: a major town or city. They're not attractive to look at,

201
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: by the way, it's not nice in the landscape. You

202
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: know a lot of solar panels. Those solar panels, I

203
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: would know, don't last forever last about twenty years. We

204
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: don't really know how to dispose of them. What becomes

205
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: of solar panels when they're no longer really useful. There's

206
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: a lot of energy expended in making them, you know that.

207
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: I talk about wind turbines as queens and arts for

208
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: migratory foul, but particularly for endangered species of birds, for

209
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: bald eagles, for you know, for all kinds of hawks

210
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: and raptors that are on the protected species list. They

211
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: get chopped up by by wind turbines all the time.

212
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: They estimate a million birds a year, including large you know,

213
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: large birds that are protected. But you know, the environmentalists

214
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: just turn a blind eye of that million birds of year, folks.

215
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: So there is that. And then on this issue of

216
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: the jobs, there's a fallacy and this is true of

217
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: Democrats on a whole bunch of a whole bunch of

218
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: aspects of job creation. But here's the basics of the

219
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: of the Green New Deal fallacy about job creation. They

220
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: seem to think that you take money, you put it

221
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: into you put it into building a solar farm, and

222
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: that's a great thing. You're going to create a job. Well,

223
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: how long does that job last? The statistics show doesn't

224
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: last very long at all. What is a green job?

225
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: They don't even define this. You know why because a

226
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: huge portion of the so called jobs that are going

227
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: to be created by a green deal are going to

228
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: be bureaucratic jobs. That's right, The administrators of our new

229
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: green energy future, a lot of federal jobs, stating local jobs.

230
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: People that are just pushing paper around about how wonderful

231
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: our green new deal future is going to be. There

232
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: not going to be that. We don't need human beings

233
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: standing around holding up solar panels. The infrastructure to transfer

234
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: this electricity from these different renewable sources is incredibly expensive.

235
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: We have to put all that in the battery revolution

236
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: that we've been promised. You know, look at how Elon

237
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: Musk's company is doing, folks. He's supposed to be mister

238
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: battery man. The battery revolution is not here yet. It's

239
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: not as simple as just you're going to charge it

240
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: up and then when it's nighttime, those solar panels are

241
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: going to be just fine because they've already charged up.

242
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: A No, that's not how it works. The technology is

243
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: not there yet. And in terms of the job creation fallacy,

244
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: the way that liberals approached the Green New Deal would

245
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: be like saying, well, when somebody walks past a car

246
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: and smashes the windshield, that's not a bad thing because

247
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: then the person that sells windshields has to you know,

248
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: they have to go and sell the windshield to the

249
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: person that needs a new one. And there are people

250
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: that construct the windshield, and the insurance company is going

251
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: to make a payout. But the insurance company gets paid

252
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: along the way, and there's all this productivity around the

253
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: smashing of the windshield. Well, what the green energy people

254
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: don't understand is that the money that is going into

255
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: that is less productive than the money that you could

256
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: or rather than the ways you could have used that

257
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: money if you didn't have a smashed windshield. This analogy

258
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: that would be fossil fuels the windshield. If that's making sense.

259
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: This whole thing is a disaster. It does not work.

260
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: The science is not there. It does not create the

261
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: jobs they say it will. Each job that is created

262
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: is incredibly expensive. It just moves jobs out of much

263
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: more efficient fossil fuel energy production rules. It's going to

264
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: create an enormous bureaucracy. It's going to allow the government

265
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: to have its tentacles in every aspect of your life.

266
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: The Green New Deal is a Green New nightmare. I

267
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: am telling you, the more you dig into it, it

268
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: is awful. And every Democrat for president that has a

269
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: serious shot right now are all officially signed onto this.

270
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: We need more research on this, We mean, we need

271
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: more people looking into this and pulling it apart and

272
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: not just yes, the cow fart jokes are fine. I

273
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: make them too, but we need to look at how

274
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: wrong they are and why they're wrong, because people are

275
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: going to believe this. I'm telling you They're going to

276
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: believe these lunatics. I'll be right back. So we do

277
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: have the aftermath of what was not a not yet

278
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: a successful deal in Hannoy or not a successful deal

279
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: in trying to get North Korea off of its nuclear footing.

280
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in just a moment. I'll spend

281
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: some time with you to talk through because you're gonna

282
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: hear a lot of noise the media about how it's

283
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: big failure for Trump. But I just I think that

284
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: this Green New Deal thing, I'm seeing a lack of

285
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: intellectual seriousness and pulling apart it is worthy of being mocked.

286
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: Make the mistake about it. I mean, I think we

287
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: should just do whole segments where a kaiser Karts has

288
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: its talking about like how we should stop eating meat

289
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: because we're gonna say the planet Like, I get it right,

290
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: I mean I do that too fine. But when I'm

291
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: looking around for who's really tackling this issue of Green

292
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: New Deal jobs millions of jobs, they say this, what

293
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: evidence do they have for this? Why don't we make

294
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: them provide evidence? How will there be jobs? Will these

295
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: just be jobs that are switched over from the currently

296
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: productive energy economy? And what about people that are just

297
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: involved in the bureaucracy that this is going to create,

298
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, the people that are going to measure how

299
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: green the Green New Deal is. And then also there's

300
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: a selective technological optimism at work here where they just

301
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: suggest that Green New Deal technology, you know, wind and

302
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 1: solar and all this stuff is going to get better

303
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: and better and better. What we've actually seen of a

304
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: last particularly fifteen to twenty years, is that fossil fuel

305
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: technology has become way more efficient. Fracking has brought about

306
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: in an oil revolution in this country. We are a

307
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: global fossil fuel superpower, and right at that moment. What

308
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: the left wants us to do is abandon that and

309
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: embrace a massive bureaucracy that's really just a trojan horse

310
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: for socialism. And they're going to call it the Green

311
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: New Deal. I'm sorry, it's the Green New Nightmare. I'm

312
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: not down with it, and we're going to keep fighting it.

313
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: But we'll talk about Trump and Kim coming up. I

314
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: wanted to denuke certain areas and I wanted everything, and

315
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: the sanctions are there, and I didn't want to give

316
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: up the sanctions unless we had a real program, and

317
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: they're not ready for that. Night understand that, fully, I

318
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: really do. I mean, they spent a lot of time

319
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: building it, and that doesn't mean the world has to

320
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: be happy. But I wanted them to d nuke, d nuke,

321
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: the President says, didn't want to give up sanctions. This

322
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: is why there is no deal now. The President was

323
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: very clear that this should not be seen as an

324
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: end to the process. Right. The President was saying today

325
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: that after he left Hanoi, it's not like there's not

326
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: going to be more follow on conversations here and more

327
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: to discuss, but the relationship will continue on and will

328
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: continue with the current status quo, which is that there

329
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: won't be missile testing, there won't be advanced nuclear stuff

330
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: going on, or ways to try to advance the nuclear

331
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: program that they have him. Mostly it's the missile testing,

332
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: but there's other stuff that they could do too. Here's

333
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: what the President said about this place sixteen. We will

334
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: keep the relationship. We'll see what happens over the next

335
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: period of time. But as you know, we've got our

336
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: hostages back. There's no more testing. And one of the

337
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: things importantly that Chairman Kim promised me last night is regardless,

338
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: he's not going to do testing of rockets and nuclear

339
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: not going to do testing. So you know, I trust

340
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: him and I take him at his word. I hope

341
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: that's true. I think it was very good, very friendly.

342
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: This wasn't a walk away, like you get up and

343
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: walk out now. This was very friendly. We shook hands

344
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: saying they're not there yet. Right, He's saying that we

345
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: weren't able to get it done this time, but this

346
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: channel is open now and we'll see. You know, part

347
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: of this process, and I think this is hard for

348
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: us as Americans to consider, is the preparation back home

349
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: in North Korea. I know it's not a democracy, it's

350
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: a despotism. But to prepare the people around Kim, his

351
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: senior advisors, military generals, the apparatus that Kim. It doesn't

352
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: matter what despot you're talking about, there's always people that

353
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: you have to have that implement your will. Right So,

354
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, even if you're Prince Jeoffrey and Game of

355
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: Thrones or King Joffrey and Game of Thrones, you know

356
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: you need the hand, and you know you need the

357
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: queen regent, and you need people around you. I know,

358
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: I'm excited Game of Thrones is coming back in a

359
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: few weeks. You need people around you to implement your will.

360
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: You know, no matter how authoritarian any individual may be,

361
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: there has to be an apparatus around them to enact

362
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: their will. So Kim, even if he wanted to take

363
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: steps in this direction, and I don't know if he

364
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: does or not, I haven't had a chance to talk

365
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: to him. I'm that would be kind of funny, wouldn't it. Man?

366
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: If I could, that would be quite an inner view.

367
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: You know, he did take a question from a report.

368
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: This was pretty remarkable, and you know, this is not

369
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: something that it's certainly not something you see every day.

370
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: He did take a question do we do we have that?

371
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 1: He were saying, Oh, yeah, here we go play thirteen.

372
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: This is before the meeting. Well, it's still really to tell.

373
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't say that I'm testing from what I

374
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: feel right now. I do have a bling bad good

375
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: results would come out. I mean, you got to hear

376
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: I've I've never heard the guy speak before. I'll be

377
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: honest with you. I mean, I've read transcripts and obviously

378
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: it's not speaking in English speaking Korean, but uh, I've

379
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: never even heard his voice. It's always dubbed over. But

380
00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, the the back home processes that he's going

381
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: to have to if he Look, maybe this is all

382
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: Maybe this is all for not I'm not trying to

383
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: rule that out. You know, this is the worst regime,

384
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: the worst government on the planet, the one that I

385
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: think is the most likely to provoke a war that

386
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: could go nuclear. And the deprivation, the viciousness, the sadism,

387
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: the slavery, the torture that the North Korean State engages

388
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: in really exceeds anything anywhere else on planet Earth right now.

389
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they are number one, and you're dealing then

390
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: with somebody who sits atop this this mountain of misery

391
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: and enslavement and despair. And you know, he didn't create

392
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: this system, but he's at the top of this system.

393
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: You have to remember, I'm not even sure it's clear

394
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: that Kim could just flip some switch and all of

395
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: a sudden everything starts to feel a lot more normal. There.

396
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: The people have been propagandized too. There are a lot

397
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 1: of people who live in such terror of the regime.

398
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: They believe the regime. This is where I always telling you,

399
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, read Escape from Camp fourteen, read Aquariums of

400
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: pyeong Yang, and they will haunt you. I mean, those

401
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: books will they will stay with you. You know. Escape

402
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: from Camp fourteen is like a Korean version of the

403
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: Gulag Archipelago. I mean, it's the kind of literature that

404
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: affects the way that you see not just that country,

405
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: but the way that you see life and the world

406
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: around you. And it takes you into the real depths

407
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: of human despair and misery and violence and hatred. And so,

408
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: you know, make no mistake about it. North Korea is

409
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: the most evil country in the world right now. I mean,

410
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, Iran is an evil regime, but you know,

411
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: the Iranian people learned way better shape than which you're

412
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 1: what's going on in North Korea. A lot of Iranians

413
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,479
Speaker 1: driving around in BMW's and you know, having par It's

414
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: a very very different scene, right, That's not the scene

415
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: you have in North Korea. And part of this whole

416
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: process and the reason that it's going to be phased

417
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: if it works, which it may not, because maybe he

418
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 1: is you know, he could just be an evil soob

419
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: and that's it. But at least now we're finding out

420
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: at least now Trump is trying and when you and

421
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: this is another part of this that I don't think

422
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 1: it's nearly enough analytic play. You know, you look at

423
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: who the North Korean dictators have liked in the past.

424
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: They like larger than life figures, you know, they like

425
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: Dennis Rodman, you know, Kim Jong n Kim Jong Ill

426
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 1: like Dennis Rodman, They love Michael Jordan, they like you know,

427
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: huge American celebrities. I forget, there's some other celebrities. I

428
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: remember reading about this that the Kim dynasty really warmed

429
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: to and I can't now And the problem with with

430
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 1: some of the North koreanalysis you do is the North

431
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: Korea jokes and memes that people may get met, you know,

432
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: to get mixed in your head with because some of

433
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: the stuff that is true sounds like it can't be true,

434
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: you know, like Kim Jong gun got eighteen holes in

435
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: one in golf in the same day, and things like,

436
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, the North Korean news agency propaganda. It sounds

437
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: so preposterous that it's like something from the Onion. But

438
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: it isn't from the Onion. But Kim is going to

439
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: have to go through a whole process here. It's not

440
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: as straightforward as just Okay, I want our country to

441
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: be a normal country. I mean I think that there's

442
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: a real risk that he could be you know, they

443
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: could take him under house arrest, and there would be

444
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: somebody that you know, you could have some kind of

445
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: a palace coup, and there's other members of the family,

446
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, who knows. Our visibility into the real power

447
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: structure in North Korea and the decision making process is,

448
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: I can guarantee you very very minimal. It's very hard

449
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: to look into a place as closed off in the

450
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: world as North Korea and really know who's making I mean,

451
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: our visibility into the you know, the decision making in

452
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 1: France into our own government is limited. You can imagine

453
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: what we really know about North Korea. But the reason

454
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: this fell apart with sanctions, This is very important Play fifteen.

455
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: They wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety and we

456
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: couldn't do that. They were willing to denuke a large

457
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: portion of the areas that we wanted, but we couldn't

458
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: give up all of the sanctions for that. So we

459
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: continue to work and we'll see, but we had to

460
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: walk away from that. I think we'll end up being

461
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: very good friends with Chairman Kim and with North Korea.

462
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: And I think they have tremendous potential. I've been telling

463
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: everybody they have tremendous potential, unbelievable potential. But we're going

464
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: to see. But it was about sanctions. I mean, they

465
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: wanted sanctions lifted, but they weren't willing to do an

466
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: area that we wanted. I want to lift sanctions, but

467
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: you know that wasn't going to happen if Trump had

468
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: come back. I assure you, if Ump had come back

469
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 1: from Hanoi, which is so much more important, and I

470
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: know I've been saying to you, so much more important

471
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: than this nonsense with Cohen on Capitol Hia. So it

472
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: just goes to show you Democrats are unserious people. A

473
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: serious threat to the country, but unserious people. All the

474
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: saturation coverage of Cohen, all that's all the news wires.

475
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: Everyone's talking about me, while the president's trying to solve

476
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: a war that's never even formally been ended and going

477
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: on since nineteen fifty one, and deal with the greatest

478
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: national security threat really in terms of positive, in terms

479
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: of loss of life, potential, realistic national security threat that

480
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: exists in the world today. He's trying to tackle that,

481
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: and you know, they just want to make jokes and

482
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: make fun of him. But if he had come back

483
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: from this and he had agreed to sanctions relief without

484
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: a full accounting of the North Korean nuclear program and

485
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: without an agreement on steps for denuclearization with verification procedures

486
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: in play, I would have said Trump, Trump's getting played.

487
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: I've told you, I'm disappointed on where the wall is

488
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: right now. The wall is not where we were led

489
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: to believe it would be at this point. That doesn't

490
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: mean but see there's a difference between it's not what

491
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: I want, it's not perfect yet and someone has failed,

492
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: someone has sold us out, someone was lying. Those are

493
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: not the same thing, all right. The wall isn't where

494
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: it should be now. And Trump hasn't gotten as far

495
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: at this point in his presidency as he should have

496
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: based on the importance of the wall in his campaign

497
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: rhetoric and the size of the immigration crisis, which is

498
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: only going to get worse. We'll be talking more about that,

499
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure in the weeks ahead, but on this issue,

500
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: the fact that he did not remove sanctions is absolutely essential.

501
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: And this is where this is where the Obama administration

502
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: fell into a trap because they were desperate and Obama

503
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: couldn't you know, Obama's team couldn't negotiate their way out

504
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: of a paper bag. I mean, they had no idea

505
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: what they were really doing because they didn't really understand

506
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: the opposition. They didn't really understand who the Iranians are

507
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: and what the Iranian regime is trying to do willing

508
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: to do. And there was a tremendous amount of hubrists

509
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: and an arrogance that was just dripping from the you know,

510
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: Ben Rhodes and the other chief foreign policy propagandists of

511
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: the Obama administration, and they didn't want to listen to

512
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: anybody else. They thought that they knew better, they were smarter,

513
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: and they got They got just swindled, absolutely swindled. Because

514
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: now the Iranian state's getting you know, well, Trump has

515
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: rolled this back, but the Iranian state was on a

516
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: roadway to getting richer and having a more robust nuclear

517
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: program down the line that would be turn key, ready

518
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: to go. It gets all this relief from sanctions. We

519
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: gave it, palettes of cash, gave it all this money.

520
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: Iranian regime hasn't changed one bit towards us. Every every

521
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: bit is as bellicose and as dangerous and as much

522
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: of a threat to our interest in the Middle East

523
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: and around the world as its always been. North Korea,

524
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: we sat down or Trump's show, we didn't do it. Hey,

525
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: here we are Team Buck has a ride for negotiations

526
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: with Kim Jong hun. Now, but the President United States

527
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: sat down with North Korea with Kim Jong hun and said, look,

528
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: let's do this. He's right to focus on what how

529
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: much potential the country has. I would know he's right

530
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: to spend time extolling the possibilities for wealth and for prosperity,

531
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: because you know, the people at the top of Remember,

532
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm not saying North Korea is never going to be Switzerland,

533
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: certainly not in our lifetime and probably not for you know, ever,

534
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: maybe a few centuries. You know, North Korea is not

535
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: even going to be Japan or South Korea anytime soon.

536
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: But North Korea could be you know, like China circa

537
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty in terms of the way it approaches things

538
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: and the you know, the economy, or maybe China circa

539
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: nineteens nineteen fifty probably wouldn't be that much better than

540
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: but you know, it could be China thirty or forty

541
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: years ago. Command economy, labor force. Yeah, rough conditions, bad stuff, corruption.

542
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like this is some place that

543
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: everyone else wants to emulate. But you know, you've got

544
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: to get the power structure to go along. It's not

545
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: just Kim. Even in a dictatorship, it's not just the dictator.

546
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: And the reason I know about this is because I

547
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: actually have a bunch of academic literature here on my

548
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: bookshelf at home that I've read through about authoritarianism and dictatorship.

549
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: You know what, the number one threat to dictators for

550
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: the last five hundred years has been it's it's not

551
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:43,479
Speaker 1: external invasion, it's not financial collapse. It is a coup

552
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: from somebody powerful in their inner circle. Number one threat

553
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: for dictators, or at least for the last I think

554
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: hundred fifty years. I said five hundred, last hundred fifty years,

555
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: that's the number one threat. So Kim Jong un goes

556
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: back there and he doesn't have buy in from his

557
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: general roles. All of a sudden, you know, some second

558
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: cousin of Kims who's the you know, in command of

559
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: the military says, you know, Kim's not feeling well. You're

560
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: not going to see him for a while. We're running

561
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: the show. Now, who's gonna say, Who's gonna say anything

562
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: about that? So it's a process. It's delicate, incredibly complicated.

563
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: More on this week come back. Why these talks have

564
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: failed under Bush and Clinton and Obama were we didn't

565
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: think there was an existential threat. Yet now we know

566
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: there is with the ability to hit a western city.

567
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: So Trump is much more urgent and serious. And second,

568
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: we had this crazy appeasing idea of China that they

569
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: were on the trajectory to the Family of Nations, and

570
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: the more we appease them, the more the rich they got,

571
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: the more reasonable they are. Trump doesn't buy into that.

572
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: We always gave up on sanctions. We said, why, I'm god,

573
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: they're eating grass, or we have to be careful about

574
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: the innocent North Korean people, But they don't rate when

575
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: you're considering losing Seattle or Portland's So I think Trump

576
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: brilliantly put it in Vietnam, and he's basically saying, without backdrop,

577
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: this was an arch enemy of the United States. It's

578
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: communist and it's doing much better than you are. That's

579
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: the inducement, and that's Mickey Davis Hansen. He understands this.

580
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: But why should North Korea? Why should the North Korean

581
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: power brokers, the decision makers, why why should they do this?

582
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: What do they get out of it? Because I remember,

583
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: there's going to be there's gonna be the possibility of

584
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: external influence and they could lose their grip on power.

585
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: Why well, you know, you can look from some other

586
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,479
Speaker 1: countries in the region that you still have authoritarian rule,

587
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: military rule, communist party rule. But people are rich, people

588
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: are rich, and even some of the North Korean elite,

589
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: I'm sure would like to get a little richer. And

590
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: that's it's going to be incremental progress. Is I think

591
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: what people have lost sight if here it has to

592
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: be incremental progress, there is no there is no speedy

593
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: version of getting North Korea from being the hermit Kingdom

594
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: to reunifying with South Korea and everything being fine, and

595
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: that's never going to happen. Via Davids. Hanson also just

596
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: spoke more broadly to Trump's record. I want to I mean,

597
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: I VDH is one of my favorites these days. He

598
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: really he really gets at play seven. I think people

599
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: admired him from getting out of the Paris Climate Accord

600
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: when you look back at it, moving the embassy to Jerusalem,

601
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: defeating ISIS and almost annihilating isis the irandal. I think

602
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: even at sponsors realized was flawed. I think even people

603
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: realize now that NATO needed to pay more and their

604
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: pledged one hundred million dollars. So I think cumulative people

605
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: are saying, you know what, if you look at the

606
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: entire Trump record, especially under Secretary of State pump Pao,

607
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 1: it's getting better, and it's already good. It is, it's

608
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 1: getting better. We gotta hit a second hour here, team,

609
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. Every day I start the same way.

610
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: I need a delicious cup of coffee, but I don't

611
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: want to support a bunch of commie nonsense, So I

612
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,319

628
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: it's strike one in Singapore. He didn't get a deal

629
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: with Kim Jong un. Now it's strike two, Hannoy once again,

630
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: no deal to denuclearize North Korea, something that he's staked

631
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: a lot of his legacy, a lot of his presidency

632
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: on a very rough and rocky twenty four hours of

633
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: the President humbled back in Washington, humbled here in Hanoi,

634
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: heading back to Washington empty handed. And so I think

635
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: when we assess all of this in the hours and

636
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 1: days and weeks ahead, I think what's going to become

637
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: clear Christiana and Jim is that the President staked a

638
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: lot of his presidency on something that is just much

639
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: more difficult than reality TV. This is not something that

640
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: can be wrapped up in a season of The Apprentice.

641
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: Jim Acosta is an idiot, and CNN should be ashamed

642
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: to put him out there as their chief White House correspondent.

643
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: I think he's just not very smart. He's just one

644
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: of these classic TV zombie types who's much more worried

645
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: about what kind of hair hold and spray he's using,

646
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: and how the camera angle looks on his jawline and

647
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:03,760
Speaker 1: anything else. And it's just an ignoramus, isn't isn't smart,

648
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 1: doesn't bring much to this, and here he is taking

649
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: taking cheap shots at the President of the United States,

650
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: who is legitimately trying to avert a future a future

651
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: nuclear crisis. You know, I mean, I could say one

652
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: thing when when Obama took out Bin Laden by giving

653
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,919
Speaker 1: the order that he had sat on for a long

654
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: time to join Special Operations Command and Enable Seal Team

655
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: went in and actually did the mission. But anyway, people say,

656
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 1: oh Obama got Bin Laden. No, our seals got Bin Laden,

657
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 1: thank you. But Obama as Commander chief, did give the order.

658
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 1: I didn't do a whole oh you know, but you know,

659
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: I don't really It's it's not good that, you know,

660
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: we got justice for nine to eleven because Obama gave it. No,

661
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: it was the right move. He got credit for it there,

662
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: he had it right. I mean, there are some places

663
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: where partisanship really just has no place, and on North

664
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: Korea nuclear diplomacy, that's where we should be. And you

665
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: can just see these smug, gloating idiots in the mainstream

666
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: media are are happy that Trump didn't get a deal,

667
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: happy that Trump didn't get a deal that would have

668
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: not only removed the the threat of a possible major

669
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 1: nuclear military confrontation when remember, no great has a million

670
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: million plus man standing army, has a tremendous amount of

671
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: artillery and and you know, mechanized infantry, and I mean

672
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of Soviet era and then upgraded military

673
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: hardware they could bring to bear, which doesn't really affect

674
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 1: us that much. I'm not saying they're gonna roll self

675
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: propelled artillery into Omaha anytime soon, but it does affect

676
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: South Korea. And we have thirty thousand or so troops

677
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: who are in South Korea, so that they're there are

678
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: conventional military concerns that we have to take very seriously.

679
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: But you know that that could have been at least

680
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: we could have gotten to the start of the removal

681
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: of any threat of that in the future. By the way,

682
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: who's just say that North Korea doesn't just go totally

683
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: wacko and invade South Korea again. You know, we take

684
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: this position of, well, they would never do that. Well,

685
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: the more you learn about North Korea, the crazier you

686
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: realize it is, and the decision making apparatus there is

687
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: not something that we can effectively anticipate. And if they

688
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,760
Speaker 1: thought that they could take enough of South Korea quickly

689
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: enough that we wouldn't want to retaliate. And you know

690
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of reason to believe that. Ideologically,

691
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: at least, the North Korean leadership is a ligne with

692
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: that anyway. I mean, it's just it's a huge problem

693
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: set North Korea is a concentration camp above ground, a

694
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: mass grave below it, and the president is making a

695
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: good faith effort. He really does want Yeah, he wants

696
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: this for all presidents. I want there to be a

697
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: degree of of you know, individual glory seeking in a

698
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: president when it comes to things like this, because that's

699
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: what keeps you in the fight, that's what keeps you

700
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 1: willing to take these risks sometimes that you know there's

701
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 1: going to be an everlasting legacy of achieving something that

702
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: is truly great. You know, I want people to be

703
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 1: motivated for themselves as well as for the greater good.

704
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: I want everybody rowing in the same direction. So I

705
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: think that Trump trying to achieve this is something that

706
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: everybody should be willing to say they want. And yet

707
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: you have smug Acosta saying it's much more difficult than

708
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: reality TV. You know what is not that difficult preening

709
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: in front of a camera about how much you hate

710
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: Trump on CNN like an idiot, like an absolute idiot.

711
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: Speaking of idiots, Bob Menendez another a senator. Who wasn't

712
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: he the guy that was flying down to the Dominican

713
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: Republic And there was all kinds of interesting hubbub around

714
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: that Senor Menendez. Oh, he is the guy who his

715
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: best friend Meligan, was paying for his very high end lifestyle.

716
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: Even Meligan just ripped off Medicare. And I think a

717
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 1: sixty million dollar fraud, sixty million, might even an eighty million,

718
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: but just just ripping off attacks bearer tens of millions

719
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: of dollars. That was Bob Menendez's best buddy. The only

720
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: reason he didn't go to prison. Menendez didn't go to

721
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: prisons because a jury was like, well, maybe they were

722
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 1: just friends that he wasn't actually a quid pro quo

723
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: corruption situation. Well yeah, but Menendez did lobby for some

724
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: of Meligan's international babe patrol to get on the private

725
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: jet and come to America and get them visas or something.

726
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: I mean, Menendez should have gone to jail, all right,

727
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: Menendez should have gone to jail. Didn't go to jail.

728
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,439
Speaker 1: But on the summit, here's what he had to say.

729
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: Remember this guy sits on the Senate Formulations Committee, Play

730
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: a teen. What we saw in Hanoi was amateur hour

731
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: with nuclear weapons at stake and the limits of reality

732
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: TV diplomacy. What I worry about is that the president,

733
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 1: by giving Kim John Noon the international not only recognition

734
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: but almost acceptance, from going from pariah to an accepted

735
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 1: international leader, has squandered the leverage that we have. This

736
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: is just classic, and I'm glad we played this audio

737
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: for you. This is classic echo chamber ossified foreign policy

738
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: elitism thinking. Here's the reality of what has happened with

739
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: the North Korea. In North Korea gets more advanced missile programs,

740
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: more advanced in its nuclear programs, and is no closer

741
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: to liberalizing or becoming a less Bellico state now than

742
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: it has been in thirty years. It has been progressing

743
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: administration after administration toward deliverable nuclear weapons atop an ICBM

744
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: and all the so called smarts that up to this

745
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: point hasn't been able to do. Squat and saying these

746
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: things like squandering our leverage and elevating his profile and

747
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: the he is the leader of North Korea. He's got

748
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. You know, the people that take this position

749
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: if we never should have talked to Kim Jong un.

750
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: To that, I say, well, we are talking to the Taliban,

751
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: and we're about to effectively hand Afghanistan over to the

752
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 1: Taliban if current trends continue. So what are we supposed

753
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: to do? We don't talk to the enemy. I mean,

754
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: North Korea is an enemy state, but we're not going

755
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 1: to talk to them. What has that gotten us? It's

756
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: gotten us a lot of missile firings. Hasn't helped the

757
00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: North Korean people. All that I'm not saying. See, this

758
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: is the key talk, but don't concede. Obama was what

759
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 1: can I how can I make a deal? What can

760
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 1: I do? What do I need to give you Iran

761
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: to get a deal so that I have a foreign

762
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: policy legacy? That was the Obama administration and all the

763
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: so called smart set there. Trump is saying, all right,

764
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: let's discuss. Here are my terms. You won't take my terms.

765
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm out. I'm out. That's the way it should be.

766
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: What was really the other The other way was back

767
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: channeling with some diplomats and to get something going. You know, whatever,

768
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: Please you think that the bureaucrats at the State Department

769
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: are going to solve this problem. Find me a problem

770
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: anywhere near as high stakes and challenging as this that

771
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,280
Speaker 1: low level State Department bureaucrats have been able to figure out. Please,

772
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:55,399
Speaker 1: I would really like to hear that story like this

773
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: is this is an outcome that's it's disappointing, but it's

774
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: not a disaster. And when you understand the dynamics at

775
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: play here, it's going to take time. The more that

776
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: Trump and Kim Jong un, you could make this argument,

777
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 1: and I think it's a fair one to make, the

778
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: more that Kim Jong Uman Trump talk and have some

779
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: kind of personal relationship, the easier it would be for

780
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: the North Korean propaganda apparatus, which is what we're working

781
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: on here, folks, to make it seem like, well, maybe

782
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: America doesn't want to, you know, eat all of our

783
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,320
Speaker 1: children down to the bone and annihilate our entire country,

784
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: you know. And they're not going to be fair minded

785
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: about it. Is. They still are going to say where

786
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: monsters were barbarians? But you know, it can ratchet down

787
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: tensions a little bit. It can't be any worse. I mean,

788
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: the relationship between North Korean and the rest of the

789
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 1: world can't get worse short of an all out invasion.

790
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: But why haven't we done an all out invasion North Korea?

791
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: Why is North Korea the country that even back to

792
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: the earliest days of the acts of evil, there's been

793
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: no serious effort to topple, to invade, to do any

794
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: of those things. Oh, that's right, because they have nukes

795
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,240
Speaker 1: and Soul is right next door, and they could destroy

796
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: South Korea in a day, or you know, do tremendous

797
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: damage to South Korea in a day, So we don't

798
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: have that option. All right, we don't have that option.

799
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,760
Speaker 1: A lot of stupid stuff coming out of the pundits.

800
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,760
Speaker 1: Oh Trump piece, he's so horrible. And look, I can

801
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,919
Speaker 1: handle some degree of criticism around whether or not it's

802
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: okay to have Trump warm up to Kim Jong un.

803
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 1: He you know, when he says we fell in love,

804
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: and you know, Trump says some weird things. Yeah, of course,

805
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not here to blow smoke Trump. Some

806
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 1: of the stuff Trump says, I'm like, did you really

807
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: have to say that? Come on, man, you know, But

808
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: then again, I didn't beat the Democrat left wing Hillary

809
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: machine and become president the United States when everybody said

810
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: it was impossible. So I give the guy some leeway

811
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 1: to do things the way he does them. Doesn't mean

812
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: that I always agree, though, doesn't mean that I say, oh, yeah,

813
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: that's a great idea. Do I like the comment he

814
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: made about how he takes Kim Jong un at his

815
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: word about Otto Warrember? No, I don't. I don't. I

816
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: you know, I just think that Otto was one of

817
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 1: ours and the North Koreans acted like savages when it

818
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: came to Otto, and that's not something that we should

819
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: just let pass. Do. I think that Trump maybe was

820
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: just trying to say, you know, it's not clear to

821
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 1: him that the decision making about Otto was in Kim

822
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: Jong UN's hands, and he doesn't want to throw away

823
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: the relationship he has with Kim Jong unnecessarily. Maybe. But

824
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't like it. I didn't like it.

825
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: I thought it was a problem. And I'm not saying

826
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: that what Trump has done here is perfect, but he's

827
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: trying and we should all this is the key point

828
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,879
Speaker 1: in all this. We should all be rooting for him

829
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: because this is about more than party affiliation and partisan nonsense.

830
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: This is about true national and global security, and I

831
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:00,879
Speaker 1: still have hope that it's going to get it done.

832
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: For all of you business owners and people that rent

833
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 1: out properties out there, you know, background checks are really important.

834
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 1: Any vetting, any due diligence that you can do, it

835
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: lowers the risk for your business. And these days, running

836
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: a business effectively is all about mitigating your risk. So

837
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: work with the people who are the best at this

838
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:25,560

849
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: out of Israel today looks like a prime minister. Net

850
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:11,280
Speaker 1: and Yahoo a strong ally of the US on all matters,

851
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: really on national security matters, on counterterrorism on Middle East

852
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 1: Security Net and Yahoo could be in some hot water.

853
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: This is an area where I feel like we need

854
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: to bring in one of our friends who's a true

855
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: expert on what's happening in Israel. We have my friend

856
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: David if Fun with us now. He is the editor

857
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: in chief of the Alga Miner. David, great to have

858
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 1: you back. Always a pleasure book. So what's happening with Beebee? Well,

859
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: the truth is, it certainly looks like he's in the

860
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 1: probably the second toughest spot he's ever been in politically

861
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: throughout the course of his extensive and illustrious career. The

862
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:52,280
Speaker 1: first was back in ninety seven after the Hebron Accords,

863
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: where he was ultimately booted from office for the first time.

864
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 1: The second round, he's held on the leadership position from

865
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: much much longer. The truth is, though he was in

866
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: trouble before the indictments or the intention to indict was

867
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: announced by Israel's Attorney channel today, where a new party,

868
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 1: which is formed of a collaboration of three different former

869
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: chiefs of staff of the Israeli military, was polling six

870
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 1: or seven points ahead of his Likud party, and certainly

871
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 1: this announcement today is only going to add to his troubles.

872
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: Having said that, Yahoo is a brilliant and masterful politician,

873
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: and over the course of his career always seems to

874
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: find a way out of the trickiest spots. So I

875
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,839
Speaker 1: wouldn't be too quick to write him off. But he's

876
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: certainly in a pickle right now. Well, we'll tell us

877
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: about this. What does he is he in trouble? I mean,

878
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: what is he's what happened here? What do he do? Well, look,

879
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: the question of you know what the end of the

880
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 1: legal process is going to bring for him, We're not

881
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: going to know that until it all plays out. You know,

882
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: there has to be there has to be an indictment,

883
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: and there has to be you know, the whole the

884
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 1: full extent of the legal process. What he's being accused

885
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: of are bribery and breach of trust specifically. You know,

886
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: there are a lot of details, and there are a

887
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 1: bunch of different cases. There are three different cases that

888
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: he's being charged in Case one thousand, Case two thousand,

889
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: Case four thousands, as they're known, but effectively in exchange

890
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 1: for better coverage from media outlets, and also in exchange

891
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: for some various favors jewelry, cigars, champagne. He's accused of

892
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: doing political favors for certain leading business people and business

893
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 1: oligarchs in Israel and one actually that's in the United States.

894
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: Two of those who he's accused of helping run two

895
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: of Israel's biggest media outlets. So he's accused of seeking

896
00:52:56,120 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 1: favorable coverage in exchange for various business favors. So what

897
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: do you think, I mean, how does he get out

898
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: of this? And by the way, how much do you

899
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:09,439
Speaker 1: assess politics? Internal politics in Israel are kind of, if

900
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 1: not entirely behind these charges, pushing them on a little bit. Well,

901
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: the truth is there's always an element of that, and

902
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 1: you know we see that in this country as well.

903
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,359
Speaker 1: That certainly his political opponents are much more of gung

904
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: ho about things. But the attorney general who's bought these

905
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:30,399
Speaker 1: charges is seen, as you know, mostly for the most part,

906
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,919
Speaker 1: of level headed guy who actually works for Yah who

907
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: in the past as the cabinet secretary, that was his

908
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:40,760
Speaker 1: immediate prior job. The question, really, though, is going to be,

909
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,800
Speaker 1: because the legal process hasn't played out, it's going to

910
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: be you know what all the other members of his coalition,

911
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: how they're going to react to this and potential partners

912
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 1: in a future coalition. So basically all of the right

913
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: wing parties, including those that are further to the right

914
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: of Knitt and the Irish Party, and also the ultra

915
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:03,760
Speaker 1: orthodox parties which make up the coalition as it stands today,

916
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: have all said, you know, we're going to stand by

917
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: net Yahoo. We'd be happy, we're happy to stay in

918
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: his government now, and we're going we'd be happy to

919
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: stay in his government or be a part of the

920
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: future government that he would form should he win the election. So,

921
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: you know, it Israel, it's not just about the party

922
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: that gets the most seats. It's also about the party

923
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: that has the ability to build a majority block, because

924
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: nobody gets the majority of the Kineta's seats. You know,

925
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: the highest polling party now is a major competitor, is

926
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: polling at thirty five or thirty six seats. That's called

927
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: the Blue and White Party, named after the Israeli flag,

928
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: and his Liqud party is polling between twenty nine and

929
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 1: thirty one thirty two, so he's falling a little bit behind.

930
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: But what's important is not just how many seats you get,

931
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: it's whether you're actually able to form a coalition, and

932
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 1: the left wing block doesn't look like it's it's passing

933
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: the sixty one seat threshold, and they might have trouble

934
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,919
Speaker 1: actually forming the coalition. So it's happened in the past

935
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: US that the party that won the most seats actually

936
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: didn't end up in government because they couldn't form the

937
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: coalition that was necessary. So that's one way that Niah,

938
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 1: who might emerge intact, I would say, after this, this

939
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: whole process is over all right, Well, David, you're gonna

940
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: have to come back and tell us when all said

941
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: and done, if BB manages to maneuver out of this

942
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,479
Speaker 1: one again. Obviously he's close at the President Tromp. He's

943
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: considered a staunch ally of the US in the region

944
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 1: and obviously around the world. So always good to talk

945
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: to my friend, editor in chief of the Alga Minor.

946
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: If you want to know what's going on, you need

947
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 1: to check out the Alga Minor. And David, thank you

948
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: so much for joining us, my friend David. If fun,

949
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: everybody holy is a pleasure team. We are going to

950
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,879
Speaker 1: roll into a quick break. We've got much more show

951
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 1: coming up, so stay with me. A lot of people

952
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 1: tonight are humming ding dong. The witch is dead because

953
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: the witch hunt, the Russia collusion narrative, it was thrown

954
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: out there over and over and over again. And what

955
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: happened was there was nothing there. And so for this

956
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: unbelievable hearing today, you know, there were a lot of

957
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:12,799
Speaker 1: opportunities afforded this particular witness that shouldn't have happened. He

958
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 1: had a thirty minute opening. I don't remember any witness

959
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: ever having a thirty minute opening. It was all trying

960
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 1: to spin a narrative to start the impeachment process. His

961
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: testimony was highly incriminating, explosive, a bombshell in the leads

962
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: it should provide if corroborated by other witnesses and documents. Plainly,

963
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 1: he laid out a roadmap of criminality committed by the

964
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: president that needs to be followed not only by the

965
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:49,879
Speaker 1: Special Council, but by other prosecuting offices. Right now, no

966
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: aspect of Trump world is not under investigation a Bloomenthal

967
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: de nang dick. There, no aspect of Trump world is

968
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: not under investigation. He really gives away the game, doesn't

969
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: He lets you know what this is all about. This

970
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: is about weaponizing the law. That's what this is about.

971
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: That is the primary motivation here for all of this

972
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 1: stuff that we're seeing, Russia collusion, Southern districts of New

973
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 1: York looking at the hush payments, trying to get Trump

974
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: Trump's tax returns, all of it. But isn't it funny

975
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: of Mark Meadows and Dick Bluementhal. They're both there at

976
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 1: this hearing, both, you know, watching the same events unfold,

977
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 1: and they come away with completely different interpretations of it.

978
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows comes away with the one that I obviously

979
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: share because it is based in reality and logic, But

980
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: Dick Bluementhal comes away with, See, everything is evidence. Everything

981
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: is evidence of Trump criminality. It's kind of like the

982
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: left and climate change. Everything is evidence of climate change.

983
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: If it gets colder, it's because of climate change. If

984
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: it gets warmer, it's because of climate change. If it

985
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: stays the same, well that's really scary because the climate

986
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: should be changing, So it's evidence of climate change. Everything

987
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 1: proves their thesis. Nothing can disprove their thesis. This is

988
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: one of the most important tools for debating with liberals

989
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: that I've talked to you about in the past, and

990
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: that is ask them what data you could give them

991
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 1: or what you know, what information you could provide them

992
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 1: that would even if just theoretically disprove their thesis. For example,

993
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: on climate change, it's not possible to disprove their thesis.

994
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: If the temperature stayed exactly where it is, would that

995
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: disprove it? If it goes up, would that? You know,

996
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 1: they can't. There's no information that you could ask them

997
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: for ahead of time that would show. And by the way,

998
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: even if you did, they would just then change the

999
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 1: numbers and change the data sets so that all of

1000
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: a sudden, oh yeah, no, that's right, nothing to see here.

1001
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 1: That would be their approach. All right, you cannot falsified.

1002
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: It is unfalsifiable. The same thing is true with the

1003
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 1: left and all this Russia collusion stuff and just the

1004
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: idea of President Trump's criminality. And they had the personal

1005
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: lawyer of the President of the United States for the

1006
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: last decade. I mean, they've got him over a barrel.

1007
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he will tell them anything he can that's

1008
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: damaging to Trump. He'll do everything in his power in

1009
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 1: order to get a lesser sentence or just to be

1010
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 1: in the good graces of the Democrat left establishment. Now

1011
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: that he's going to prison, and he's going to be

1012
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: looking for jobs when he comes out. If you can't

1013
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: get a criminal case based off of having the lawyer

1014
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: of the president when he was in his personal capacity,

1015
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: flip on him, wave all attorney client privilege, and just

1016
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: go on a mission of destruction against the president, any

1017
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: reasonable person would say there's nothing here. I mean this

1018
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: fiction that they cling to, that the payments to Stephanie

1019
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: Clifford and Stormy Daniels, that those are criminal activity. First

1020
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: of all, we're talking about campaign finance stuff, all right,

1021
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: We're talking about campaign finance. We're not talking about a

1022
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: crime crime. We're talking about what is known as mallem prohibitum,

1023
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: not malamin say, Malamin say is something that is bad, right,

1024
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 1: cannibalism bad doesn't matter if the government says it's okay.

1025
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that later. Mallem prohibitum as the

1026
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: government says you can't do this because we say so,

1027
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: we have a reason for it. But it's not something

1028
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 1: that is inherently rooted in some moral truth, right. I mean,

1029
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 1: you could argue, even I would argue that taxes are

1030
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: a mallem prohibitum violation. I mean, are you a bad

1031
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: person if you don't pay your taxes. No, if they

1032
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: wanted one hundred percent of your income as taxation, should

1033
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 1: you have to pay that? Is that a moral obligation

1034
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: on you? I mean, that's prohibitum, right, So when you're

1035
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 1: discussing campaign finance violations, that's obviously malam prohibitum, which just

1036
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 1: means it's wrong because the state says it's wrong. Campaign

1037
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:22,440
Speaker 1: finance laws change all the time. They are murky, they're opaque,

1038
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 1: and there are lots of ways you can get on

1039
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: the wrong side of them, all right. So with that

1040
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 1: in mind, the idea that this is the most important

1041
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 1: thing they could get on Trump, that this is how

1042
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 1: they're really going to nail the president of the United

1043
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: States by making the case that a payoff to people

1044
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: claiming affairs with you is only a campaign expense and

1045
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 1: not a personal expense. Because if it is also a

1046
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: personal expense, guess what doesn't count. Did they have no case?

1047
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: If they had a case, they'd bring the charges. They

1048
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: have no case. It's not in egal act. And I

1049
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 1: think even more importantly, it's not a disqualifying an immoral act.

1050
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: Oh he didn't, he didn't claim these as a campaign expenditure. Well,

1051
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,439
Speaker 1: he didn't have to, so why should he. But that's

1052
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 1: the biggest thing, and they've gone after him with everything,

1053
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: with everything that they've got. And this is where we

1054
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:23,920
Speaker 1: are so far. The collusion narrative, I would note, got

1055
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 1: crushed yesterday for anybody who was paying attention. The dossier

1056
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 1: that said that Michael Cohen was in Prague false. The

1057
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 1: Russia cumpromats, compromising information, Russia compromat tapes of Trump, and

1058
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 1: the Golden Showers and the beds in Moscow doesn't exist.

1059
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 1: According to Cohen, the phone call that supposedly went from

1060
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 1: went from Roger Stone to Julian Assange never happened. Does

1061
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: anyone really believe that that would not be something the

1062
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: Muller team would already know about. They've pulled all their

1063
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 1: phone records and all the emails, they know about everything,

1064
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 1: all communications they already have. Trust me, there's no way

1065
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: that there was some phone call to Assange they don't

1066
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 1: know about. But look at how stupid and how easily

1067
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: fooled the press is. You know that the press was

1068
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 1: willing to say early on here that they thought or

1069
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: when it was it was a couple of months ago

1070
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: earlier on that there was a meeting between Julian Osange

1071
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: and Manifort at the embassy, the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

1072
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: Who could believe that Julian Assange is among the most

1073
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 1: watched and surveiled people on planet Earth. Okay, every major

1074
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 1: Western government that there is is keeping tabs on Julian

1075
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 1: Assange in one way or another. You think that Manafort,

1076
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: when he's working for the campaign, just had like a

1077
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 1: super secret meeting in an embassy, which by definition is

1078
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 1: going to have security, personnel, cameras, all kinds of things

1079
01:03:56,400 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 1: in place by definition. But The Guardian reported that the

1080
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: press is nuts on this one and what they really

1081
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: can't do because for a lot of them, this is,

1082
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, their life's work isn't so much bringing the

1083
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 1: public the truth, but it's creating. For a lot of

1084
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: journos journalists, their life's work is creating the perception of

1085
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 1: themselves as important, important purveyors of truth and the constructing

1086
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 1: a narrative that is what's best for the country and

1087
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 1: really best for the world. They care more about the

1088
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 1: world than about America, and they can't handle the recognition

1089
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: that would come along with the collapse of the Russian narrative,

1090
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 1: that they aren't the journalists aren't the people they think

1091
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 1: they are, that they're actually just partisan clowns, that they're

1092
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 1: activists with website or you know, TV show access. That's it.

1093
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 1: There's no particular skill set they bring to bear. There's

1094
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 1: no no great wisdom or expertise. They're just the little

1095
01:04:55,360 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: little peddlers of stories that favor the left, the Democrats,

1096
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: and they've just they've done everything in their power to

1097
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 1: destroy a presidency in order to you know, prop this

1098
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: prop this whole left wing edifice up. So, you know,

1099
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 1: I think that what happened yesterday overall was a waste

1100
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: of time, but it was able to show us a

1101
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 1: few important things about the collusion narrative, namely that anybody

1102
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 1: who still thinks that there was collusion is just you

1103
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: will never be able to convince them. Otherwise, you will

1104
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 1: never be able to convince someone that collusion did not

1105
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 1: happen if they still believe that it happened, because it's

1106
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 1: it's like climate change. It's now collusion has become really

1107
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 1: its own religious belief. Collusion has turned into a rallying

1108
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 1: cry for the left that they will never give up

1109
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 1: on so you know, I find it troubling but unfortunately unsurprising.

1110
01:05:57,040 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: We have one through ten for the people. That one

1111
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 1: is the clean Up Government, two was the Infrastructure Bill.

1112
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 1: There is a prescription product, the Lower the Cost of Particution,

1113
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 1: Four is the Voting Rights Act, Five is the Equality Act,

1114
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: Six is the Dream Act for seven is Paycheck theres

1115
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 1: eight is today HR eight, nine will be a climate bill.

1116
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 1: And then we have ten reserved for something special that

1117
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: sounds super ominous coming from Nancy Pelosi. I can't say

1118
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 1: I know what that is, but that was the Speaker

1119
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: of the House giving you their legislative priorities. And I

1120
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 1: would just note that, you know I heard that list

1121
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of those things. I first of all,

1122
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: you think, what does that even mean? And the Paycheck

1123
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 1: Fairness Act, how is that going to be? How is

1124
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: that going to be implemented? But beyond that, how much

1125
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: of that do I even think is a good idea

1126
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 1: under any circumstances. I think the answer is very very

1127
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:02,400
Speaker 1: little of it. Obviously, there's climate change there, prescription drug coverage.

1128
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one place where the left and the

1129
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 1: right can come together on something like a bipartisan basis.

1130
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 1: But you know prescription drug coverage, that that is a

1131
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 1: problem of really regulation and chrony capitalism, all right, that

1132
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: is what's going on. So you have the prescription drug

1133
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 1: companies that use the government in order to create barriers

1134
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 1: to entry and competition, and that's just wrong. It is

1135
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 1: just wrong. And you know that's why I think that

1136
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 1: when we talk about how to make these things better,

1137
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 1: people say the free market has failed. Look at prescription drugs.

1138
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:46,959
Speaker 1: I always say, well, but there is no free market,

1139
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: and prescription drugs, even the basic protections you would expect

1140
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 1: for intellectual property, they always extended and they're all kinds

1141
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 1: of games. And our prescription drug costs are too high

1142
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: in this country. They just are. And it's because the

1143
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 1: drug companies are greedy. And if you look at the

1144
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 1: stats on how much the prices have gone up and

1145
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: what they're doing with this stuff. Remember, intellectual property protection

1146
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: is part of it is not the fundamental basis for

1147
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 1: our society. Right. We do this to incentivize people, but

1148
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 1: there's do not have a fundamental right, for example, to

1149
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:24,519
Speaker 1: in perpetuity be the only person who can create a

1150
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:27,679
Speaker 1: life saving drug. You have a period of time where

1151
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 1: you get to create that but you know, society does

1152
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 1: get to weigh in here at at some level too,

1153
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 1: especially when you think of all the regulations that are

1154
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 1: in place that prevent competing drugs and the money involved

1155
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 1: in all this stuff. It's not as simple as just

1156
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 1: whatever I want is what I'm going to do. But

1157
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 1: Pelosi's whole agenda there, and that should really rally you

1158
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:56,960
Speaker 1: in favor of, you know, making sure that we don't

1159
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 1: allow these people to be in power, because I promise

1160
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 1: you it's just going to get worse and worse. One

1161
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:05,599
Speaker 1: thing that I wanted to bring up today and I

1162
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 1: wasn't sure how much you'd care, but Justin Trudeau, I'll

1163
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 1: talk to you about it a little bit. Justin Trudeau

1164
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:16,720
Speaker 1: is someone that you no doubt know about because he

1165
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 1: is the Prime Minister of Canada or Canada and our

1166
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 1: friend up in Canada, ezra Levant, who I've done his

1167
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 1: shows with back in the day and when they used

1168
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:34,639
Speaker 1: to have the Sun News network. I really like that network.

1169
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 1: He laid out how in this country we have a

1170
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: fake corruption scandal going on with how Trump is so

1171
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:44,719
Speaker 1: bad he's gonna go prison. It looks like Justin Trudeau

1172
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 1: is probably all donezo. Maybe he can fake falling downstairs

1173
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 1: again to make all the ladies swoon. Hey, Justin Trudeau,

1174
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,759
Speaker 1: he's very he's a very sexy man. Here's what Ezra

1175
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 1: says about what's going on with the Canadian PM. It

1176
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: looks like he's in big, big trouble. Quote from my

1177
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 1: American and British friends. Canada's Justin Trudeau is done. He

1178
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 1: might try to fight on. I personally think he's too damaged.

1179
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:11,599
Speaker 1: He's irreparably damaged. Here's what's happened in a few short tweets.

1180
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:15,599
Speaker 1: Trudeau was detonated by his former attorney general, Jody Wilson

1181
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 1: or Rainbold, Canada's first Aboriginal attorney general. She just testified

1182
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 1: in Parliament in meticulous detail how Trudeau and his staff

1183
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 1: tried to get her to drop criminal charges against a

1184
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 1: corrupt company that he liked. She refused to bend the

1185
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 1: law for Trudeau's cronies, but they didn't stop Trudeau, his

1186
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 1: chief of staff, his principal secretary, or even the finance minister.

1187
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 1: They met her ten times, phoned her ten more, trying

1188
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 1: to get the charges drop. She wouldn't, so Trudeau fired

1189
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: her as attorney general. The story leaked out earlier this month,

1190
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: but it was all anonymous sources. The former Attorney general

1191
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,000
Speaker 1: herself didn't say a word, saying she was bound by

1192
01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:59,480
Speaker 1: attorney client privilege and cabinet confidences. She was effectively gagged.

1193
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 1: Trudeau was the only one talking. Trudeau took advantage of

1194
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,519
Speaker 1: her and forced silence to claim she supported him and

1195
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:09,519
Speaker 1: everything was fine after all. When she fired her a

1196
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:13,120
Speaker 1: g he appointed her to the minor post of Veterans minister.

1197
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: When she heard him make that boat, she quit as

1198
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 1: veterans minister. He was shocked. Then suddenly Gerald Butts, Trudeau's

1199
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 1: right hand man, his best friend since college, resigned, claiming

1200
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 1: he had done nothing wrong, which is odd. It looked

1201
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: like a compromise. Butts left, so Wilson rabeled, met with

1202
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 1: a cabin in the again, and then finally, today, she

1203
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 1: testified in great detail exactly who pressured her, exactly when

1204
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 1: she named names, including the Prime Minister herself. Yep, that

1205
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:52,759
Speaker 1: end quote there, folks. That is what obstruction looks like, folks.

1206
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:57,640
Speaker 1: Calls and calls and calls, pressure and more pressure, and

1207
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 1: more pressure dropped the criminal charges. That's what obstruction looks like.

1208
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 1: Not well, I hope you can look your way to

1209
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:06,680
Speaker 1: you know, letting, you know, letting things go with this

1210
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 1: guy that service country for thirty years. But you know

1211
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 1: your call. That's not obstruction, all right. So you know

1212
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 1: here we have a textbook case in Canada of obstructing

1213
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 1: the judicial process by the Prime minister. By the way,

1214
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 1: it's a ten year possible prison sentence in Canada. I

1215
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 1: didn't realize Canada, man, you guys don't mess around with

1216
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 1: your criminal code. I was thought. I was thought prison

1217
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:31,639
Speaker 1: in Canada was like a let's maple syrup and let's

1218
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 1: free weed for you a But no, apparently in Canada

1219
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 1: they send you to prison. Prison. But yeah, Trudeau looking

1220
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: like he's out snippy dot com. So much nonsense from

1221
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 1: the other social media platforms out there. You already know.

1222
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: They're banning conservatives, they're shadow banning, they're putting suspensions out

1223
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 1: there for oh, I don't know, talking about how liberals

1224
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:57,800
Speaker 1: should learn to code. It's crazy what's happening. That's why

1225
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 1: you need a place where you know there will be

1226
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 1: no nonsense and you could share your thoughts and opinions.

1227
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:07,559
Speaker 1: Snippy dot com. If you look at snippy dot com

1228
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 1: before and left, you need to look again. Thousands of

1236
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 1: Check Snippy out today. The economy is something that folks

1237
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 1: care about. We all know that, right The economy gets

1238
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: people to pay attention, usually when the numbers come out

1239
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:53,799
Speaker 1: at least somewhat well. We had some numbers today about

1240
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 1: GDP growth last year, and some people are saying that

1241
01:13:57,320 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 1: it's not a good story for the president. US economy

1242
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:03,679
Speaker 1: grew at two point nine percent in twenty eighteen. What

1243
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 1: does that mean? What can we say about this visa

1244
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 1: the other presidents? We got the lady herself to join

1245
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:14,719
Speaker 1: us now, Miss Mattie Duppler, Senior Fellow at NPU, President

1246
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 1: of Forward Strategies, known to some of her favorite people

1247
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 1: as Duples. Mattie, great to have you on to you

1248
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 1: as duples. You're the only person who called me that

1249
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:27,560
Speaker 1: back again. Well, well now now it's just you, me

1250
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 1: and a few hundred thousand people across America. So good times,

1251
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 1: good time. So now friends exactly, just friends. So tell me, Maddie,

1252
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 1: what what are we what should we make of these numbers?

1253
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 1: Because I have a feeling that's some of my lib

1254
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:41,400
Speaker 1: friends tomorrow are going to be giving me a hard

1255
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 1: time saying, blah blah, Trump's not the builder he said

1256
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 1: he was. What do you say? Exactly right? Okay, So

1257
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:51,839
Speaker 1: this morning, what we got was the data on GDP

1258
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 1: growth for the fourth quarter. This was delayed because of

1259
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:57,440
Speaker 1: the government shutdown. Normally we see this data in January.

1260
01:14:57,760 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 1: It was delayed until now, so we'll see her as

1261
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 1: on these actually next month as well. But what we

1262
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:06,920
Speaker 1: saw was a two point six percent GDP growth for

1263
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:08,760
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. I'm gonna walk through a couple of

1264
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 1: different numbers because it's important that people understand what the

1265
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 1: full picture is of the data. We thought today two

1266
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 1: point six percent for the fourth quarter. That was us

1267
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 1: from two point two percent that economists thought we would

1268
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 1: see for fourth quarter growth. You remember, the fourth quarter

1269
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 1: was a little volatile, has some craziness going on in

1270
01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:28,480
Speaker 1: the stock market. Of course, trade tensions with China persists,

1271
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 1: and housing has been down for most of the year.

1272
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:33,880
Speaker 1: So the economists, we're expecting that we thought we would

1273
01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:36,679
Speaker 1: see a bigger dip in two four than ultimately we did.

1274
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:39,080
Speaker 1: But what that means for the entire year, since that's

1275
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:42,720
Speaker 1: the last quarterly data we're getting for twenty eighteen, is

1276
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 1: that the overall annual average growth for twenty eighteen was

1277
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 1: two point nine percent. Pretty darn good. That is a

1278
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:53,520
Speaker 1: good pace for the economy to be homing along. Now. Detractors,

1279
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 1: of course, will say, hey, President Trump said we'd be

1280
01:15:56,360 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 1: at three percent growth, where's that growth? You're one tenth

1281
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:03,080
Speaker 1: of a percentage avoid off if you're looking at the

1282
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 1: average rate. But if you also look at fourth quarter

1283
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:11,320
Speaker 1: growth growth measured from the fourth quarter of twenty seventeen,

1284
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 1: then it's three point one percent is what we're looking

1285
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 1: at for the growth for that time period. And economists

1286
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 1: do both these things. They look at the average annual

1287
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 1: growth and they look at quarter to quarter growth to

1288
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:27,280
Speaker 1: assess the health of the economy. So it's both true

1289
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:31,200
Speaker 1: that Trump has got three percent growth for twenty eighteen

1290
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 1: and both not true that it has that he was

1291
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:38,000
Speaker 1: able to merit out three percent growth for twenty eighteen.

1292
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 1: But even in that context, two point nine percent or

1293
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 1: three point one percent, that's a pretty strong number for

1294
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:47,679
Speaker 1: the US economy, particularly when we're looking at a global

1295
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:50,680
Speaker 1: slow down and growth with some of our closest alleys allies,

1296
01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:53,559
Speaker 1: and of course with some of the biggest economies in

1297
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 1: the world, China being number one. Now, how does this

1298
01:16:57,560 --> 01:16:59,760
Speaker 1: of course I care most about America and have you

1299
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:02,559
Speaker 1: he's doing for America. But if we're going to line

1300
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 1: up how Trump is doing so far in terms of

1301
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 1: GDP growth with Obama and all the socialists around him,

1302
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 1: how does this actually how does this actually go? Tell

1303
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:16,799
Speaker 1: me about the number? But the average rate of growth.

1304
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:19,639
Speaker 1: So that's that average number each year during the recovery,

1305
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:22,599
Speaker 1: so during the President Obama's rank. I shouldn't say rain,

1306
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 1: but you know that's how we treat our presidents. Down

1307
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 1: during President Obama when he was in office, that was

1308
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: two point two percent. And if you recall when President

1309
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 1: Trump released his first budget, he was saying that he

1310
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:36,599
Speaker 1: would get to three percent growth for these last couple

1311
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 1: of years, and all of the luminaries on the left

1312
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 1: came out to say that's impossible, there's no way we'll

1313
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 1: see three percent growth. That's a fantasy, that's crazy. Three

1314
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 1: percent is outrageous because they, of course, we're so used

1315
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 1: to this new normal of one point seven percent two

1316
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:55,960
Speaker 1: percent growth every quarter. So and I would put in

1317
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 1: a side there that President Obama's budget called for four

1318
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: percent growth even though we were in the middle of

1319
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:03,879
Speaker 1: a contraption. He said that that was possible. And apparently

1320
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 1: these guys weren't skeptical then, but three percent grows during

1321
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 1: expansion to them was Jeff Lunacy. So that's for a

1322
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 1: little bit too. Today where we now see that we're

1323
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:15,320
Speaker 1: at or above three percent for the year, it's a

1324
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 1: pretty darn good number. It reflects strength in the economy

1325
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 1: that we certainly haven't seen throughout the rest of this recovery.

1326
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 1: And you know, there's a lot of debate about who

1327
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: gets the credit for that. I think it's less important

1328
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 1: to talk about who gets the credit for that and

1329
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:30,040
Speaker 1: talk a little bit a little bit more about what

1330
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 1: lessons can be learned from this. There's been a lot

1331
01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:35,679
Speaker 1: of discussions on Twitter today with people thinking they're dunking

1332
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:39,800
Speaker 1: on the president by arguing, well, Obama had a fourth

1333
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 1: quarter growth number that was better than this one. He

1334
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:45,360
Speaker 1: had a three point i think eight percent growth number

1335
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:47,680
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter twenty fifteen, which is true. He

1336
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,719
Speaker 1: had a great growth number into Quinn in twenty fifteen,

1337
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:54,479
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, But it needs to also be stated

1338
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:58,679
Speaker 1: that Obama in twenty thirteen kind of massive tax cut

1339
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 1: into law, mainly the extension of the Bush tax cuts.

1340
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:07,559
Speaker 1: A majority of those were made permanent by Democrats and

1341
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:10,639
Speaker 1: Republicans in Congress, and then President Obama finding that Intalan

1342
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 1: later that year, in twenty fifteen, he helps to signed

1343
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:15,759
Speaker 1: a Path Act which with a number of tax extenders

1344
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 1: which were awth to a tax cut. So for people

1345
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 1: to say that these numbers somehow reflect some kind of

1346
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 1: latency or deficiency in the in the pages that haven't

1347
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 1: made the taxon under Trump, and then toincite twenty fifteen

1348
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:37,599
Speaker 1: as an understanding of that is to not understand your

1349
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:39,800
Speaker 1: history of what's been happening in Washington over the past

1350
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 1: several years, which is that we've had a low creep

1351
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 1: towards better tax policy, one that was expedited immensally, but

1352
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:49,679
Speaker 1: it passes the passage of the tax cut and jobst

1353
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. One thing I've known for a while

1354
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 1: from both academic time as well as being in the media, Mattie,

1355
01:19:57,040 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 1: is that economists can't predict squat. But I am seeing

1356
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:03,720
Speaker 1: today people saying that, well, this is as good as

1357
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:06,679
Speaker 1: it's going to be. Right. That's another way of taking

1358
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: a swipe at Trump here. What do you I don't

1359
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:13,640
Speaker 1: listen to economists, but I listen to Mattie. What do

1360
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 1: you think about what we should expect for twenty nineteen

1361
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 1: and going into the election, and have we felt the

1362
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:21,680
Speaker 1: full lift from the tax cuts? You know, are there

1363
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:24,719
Speaker 1: any other reasons to think that things could get better

1364
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: or are you expecting kind of status quo? What do

1365
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:30,719
Speaker 1: you think? Well, what we have seen both in today's

1366
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 1: data dumps, but the data that we've seen over the

1367
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:38,120
Speaker 1: last several months and certainly for the remainder of twenty eighteen,

1368
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 1: is that a lot of important metrics that proponents of

1369
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:44,679
Speaker 1: tax reform has said would be affected by tax reform

1370
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:46,880
Speaker 1: are showing up. And what I mean by that is

1371
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:51,720
Speaker 1: business investment, capital expenditures, the kind of spending you want

1372
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:54,559
Speaker 1: to see in an economy that will benefit not just

1373
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 1: businesses but people up and now the income ladder that's happening.

1374
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:01,599
Speaker 1: We thought that today was this investment continuing to rise

1375
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:04,720
Speaker 1: in the data that we thought this morning, But over

1376
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 1: the course of last year, you saw the S and

1377
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:09,719
Speaker 1: P that accompanies the S ANDP had their fourth highest

1378
01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 1: i think caps year since we've been tracking that kind

1379
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:18,000
Speaker 1: of data. What we're seeing is businesses responding to a

1380
01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:21,360
Speaker 1: competitive environment that they hadn't expected that they would have

1381
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:24,800
Speaker 1: and that they hadn't experienced in the recent past. So

1382
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:27,679
Speaker 1: as long as the competitive nature of the US economy

1383
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:30,960
Speaker 1: and that both tax US and D regulation continues, that

1384
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 1: kind of activity will certainly continue. There are a number

1385
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:36,360
Speaker 1: of factors that kind of hang out there in the

1386
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 1: balance as economic question marks. The trade discussion between the

1387
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:43,680
Speaker 1: China and the United States is certainly one of them.

1388
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm becoming increasingly worried that the President, not seeing enough

1389
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 1: movement on the conversation with China, will move instead to

1390
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:55,080
Speaker 1: implement new tariffs, potentially targeted this time at the EU.

1391
01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 1: Tariffs are taxes, and they are paid by Americans on

1392
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 1: consumer products, and that has an effect on our economy

1393
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:03,719
Speaker 1: because we are a consumer drive an economy, seventy percent

1394
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 1: of our GDP comes from consumer spending. So if the

1395
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:09,720
Speaker 1: health of the consumer starts to be threatened, that's when

1396
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:11,760
Speaker 1: I start to worry overall. But I'm going to turn

1397
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,680
Speaker 1: an optimist. But I really think that it's important that

1398
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:18,719
Speaker 1: we protect the American consumer in a way that allows

1399
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 1: them to benefit from the competitive nature, main competitive environment

1400
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: that has been fostered for businesses here in the United States,

1401
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,480
Speaker 1: and in a way that they can do that with longevity,

1402
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:30,600
Speaker 1: without concerns that it will be short lived. And I

1403
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:32,640
Speaker 1: will also say that when it comes to tax but

1404
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:35,679
Speaker 1: you know what, the changes that remain in the code

1405
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen are not permanent. They will start to

1406
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 1: start to change in twenty twenty two, and the individual

1407
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:45,719
Speaker 1: tax side of the code will change significantly in twenty

1408
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 1: twenty five. Now, that of course the long runway to

1409
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 1: get something done. But if we don't have a conversation

1410
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 1: in Congress for how to do that, that certainly can

1411
01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 1: start increasing anxiety. I will have downward pressure on the

1412
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:01,720
Speaker 1: economy for sure. Well, you know, Maddie, I feel a

1413
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:04,080

Speaker 1: It's an organization for seniors. But don't join the AARP.

1430

Speaker 1: they're trying to accomplish, where they support what you support.

1434
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:15,599
Speaker 1: an organization for seniors that advocates for border protection, fixing

1435
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 1: social security. And it's got over one point five million members.

1443
01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:46,560
Speaker 1: Better for America. There's a pickup from yesterday from the

1444
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:50,160
Speaker 1: Cohen Hearing. You know, today's Cohen Hearing was behind closed doors,

1445
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 1: and you know yesterday was it wasn't really that important.

1446
01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean, the media was so fixated on it that

1447
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:58,679
Speaker 1: I tried to pull out the worthwhile moments, but by

1448
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:01,240
Speaker 1: and large it was I think waste of almost everybody

1449
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:05,040
Speaker 1: involves time, except for Democrats who are delusional about collusion

1450
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 1: and about how Trump's going to prison and they're going

1451
01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:10,720
Speaker 1: to own Orange Man Trump and drump is bad and

1452
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 1: all the lunacy from the left about all things Trump.

1453
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:16,320
Speaker 1: But there was an exchange that I didn't get to

1454
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:17,920
Speaker 1: you yesterday that I felt we should at least spend

1455
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:22,639
Speaker 1: a moment on today with this new congresswoman Rashida to Leib.

1456
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 1: And here's the basic backstory is that Mark Cummings brought

1457
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:35,679
Speaker 1: in Lynn Patton to speak on behalf of Trump because

1458
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:38,960
Speaker 1: people were well, obviously the Democrats were trying to run

1459
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:41,120
Speaker 1: with the narrative and use Cohen as a means of

1460
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:44,519
Speaker 1: bringing it home that Trump is such a racist. Well,

1461
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 1: this thing's got kind of testy yesterday and I didn't

1462
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:49,280
Speaker 1: get to this that I just wanted to take a

1463
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:52,240
Speaker 1: moment to bring it to your attention. This is this

1464
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 1: Talib who, by the ways, said all kinds of anti

1465
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 1: Semitic stuff. And she's one of these new radical lefty

1466
01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 1: congresswomen that the progressives are all about. But you know,

1467
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 1: she's not impressive and doesn't seem very nice and this

1468
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 1: was way out of line. Play clip one. Just to

1469
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:10,200
Speaker 1: make a note, mister Chairman, just because someone has a

1470
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 1: person of color, a black person working for them, does

1471
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:16,160
Speaker 1: not mean they aren't racist. And it is insensitive that

1472
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:19,439
Speaker 1: some would even say. It's the fact that someone would

1473
01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 1: actually use a prop a black woman in this chamber,

1474
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:27,280
Speaker 1: in this committee is alone racist in itself. Donald Trump

1475
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:32,120
Speaker 1: is setting its chairman. I asked President, I reclaim my time.

1476
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:35,320
Speaker 1: I asked that her words, when she's referring to an

1477
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:38,439
Speaker 1: individual member of this body, be taken down and stricken

1478
01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:41,519
Speaker 1: from the record. I'm sure she didn't intend to do this,

1479
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 1: but if anyone knows my record as it relates, it

1480
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:48,800
Speaker 1: should be you, mister chairman. Chairman, I would like to

1481
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:53,439
Speaker 1: I want the words right now. I'm just saying that's

1482
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:55,559
Speaker 1: what I believe to have happened. And if as a

1483
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:57,679
Speaker 1: person of color in this committee, that's how I felt

1484
01:26:57,680 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 1: at that moment, and I wanted to express that. But

1485
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:04,280
Speaker 1: I am not calling the gentleman, mister Metals a racist

1486
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 1: for doing so. I'm saying that in itself it is

1487
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 1: a racist act. Oh, I'm not calling him a racist.

1488
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:15,599
Speaker 1: He's just he just did a racist thing. This is

1489
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:21,559
Speaker 1: this new left wing loon Rashida to leave in Congress. Also,

1490
01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:23,800
Speaker 1: sure firs yourself as a person of color, you know,

1491
01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:26,800
Speaker 1: I think that people get a play start playing a

1492
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 1: little fast and loose here with you know, African Americans

1493
01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 1: history of legalized discrimination against them and Jim Crow and slavery,

1494
01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 1: that very real and very painful history. But that doesn't

1495
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 1: translate into oh, well, you know, I'm from Lebanon, so

1496
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:47,559
Speaker 1: i'm a person of color too, or I'm from Jordan,

1497
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:51,439
Speaker 1: or I'm from you know. I mean, I'm sorry. I

1498
01:27:51,479 --> 01:27:53,679
Speaker 1: think that people are a little too quick to play

1499
01:27:53,720 --> 01:27:56,040
Speaker 1: that car. It's like no, no, no no, no, no, you know,

1500
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, if you're from Turkey, I don't want to

1501
01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 1: hear about how oppressed you are, all right, I think

1502
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:04,040
Speaker 1: that we need to start drawing some lines on this stuff.

1503
01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:07,840
Speaker 1: But even more importantly, that she would refer to a

1504
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:11,479
Speaker 1: black woman who is in Congress, to who showed up

1505
01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:13,639
Speaker 1: to Congress to speak on behalf of the president referred

1506
01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:16,160
Speaker 1: to as a prop and say that her very presence

1507
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:18,760
Speaker 1: is racist. But this is really the It's such a

1508
01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:20,960
Speaker 1: stupid thing to say and a horrible thing to say,

1509
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:23,880
Speaker 1: but this is the left wing mentality, which is that

1510
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 1: even you know, if you don't have a person of

1511
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 1: color speak on your behalf, well then you're racist. If

1512
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 1: you have a person of color who does speak on

1513
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 1: your behalf, then you're racist because you're using a person

1514
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:37,680
Speaker 1: of color to speak for you. Use stupid racist, right,

1515
01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:42,040
Speaker 1: That's what they do. This is why when people criticize

1516
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:44,360
Speaker 1: the Trump White House for not having more people of color.

1517
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 1: I always say, well, remember when Condoleeza Rice was the

1518
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 1: National Security Advisor for the Bush administration and then Secretary

1519
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:55,760
Speaker 1: of State. Did anybody ever give the administration credit for that?

1520
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:59,639
Speaker 1: And Colin Powell was national Secretary of State, did anyone

1521
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:03,439
Speaker 1: ever get credit for that? No, of course not. Conservators

1522
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:05,160
Speaker 1: don't get credit for it. Then they're just Then we

1523
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:10,639
Speaker 1: just get bashed for using quote a token, right, That's

1524
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:12,920
Speaker 1: what they will say. Mark Meadows, by the way, he

1525
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:15,639
Speaker 1: was firy by this. He responded to it, playcliff two.

1526
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:21,480
Speaker 1: Mister chairman, There's nothing more personal to me than my relationship.

1527
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:28,200
Speaker 1: My nieces and nephews are people of color. Not many

1528
01:29:28,240 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: people know that. You know that, mister chairman. And to

1529
01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:35,960
Speaker 1: indicate that I asked someone who is a personal friend

1530
01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:39,840
Speaker 1: of the Trump family, who has worked for him, who

1531
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,760
Speaker 1: knows this particular individual that she's coming in to be

1532
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:45,800
Speaker 1: a prop it's racist to suggest that I asked her

1533
01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:50,559
Speaker 1: to come in here for that reason, you know, And

1534
01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:54,479
Speaker 1: of all the people on this committee, I've said it

1535
01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:57,840
Speaker 1: and got in trouble for it. Then you're one of

1536
01:29:57,840 --> 01:30:02,759
Speaker 1: my best friends that shocks a lot of people. And likewise,

1537
01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:06,320
Speaker 1: miss Chairman, but you are and I would do and

1538
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:11,439
Speaker 1: I could see and feel your pain, Chairman. And to

1539
01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:14,240
Speaker 1: my colleague, mister Meadows, that was not my intention. And

1540
01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:17,960
Speaker 1: I do apologize if that's what it sounded like. But

1541
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:23,080
Speaker 1: I said someone in general, uh, nice, try on the

1542
01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:28,040
Speaker 1: walk back there. Look, give we are conservatives, we are principled.

1543
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:31,599
Speaker 1: Give credit where it is due. Elijah Cummings stepped up

1544
01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:34,599
Speaker 1: and did the right thing there. Mark Meadows is his friend.

1545
01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows is being called a racist by a Democrat

1546
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:40,360
Speaker 1: for no good reason whatsoever. And Cummings was like, no,

1547
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:42,919
Speaker 1: Mark is my Mark is my friend, He's my buddy.

1548
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:47,959
Speaker 1: It was the most it was, honestly the most impressive

1549
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:49,680
Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen a logic Cummings do. Because he

1550
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:50,920
Speaker 1: is going to get a lot of heat from that,

1551
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:53,720
Speaker 1: but but good for him for doing the right thing.

1552
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:56,479
Speaker 1: Whenever we see people, and it's important, especially in this

1553
01:30:56,520 --> 01:30:59,960
Speaker 1: era of zero some politics, whenever we see someone who

1554
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:02,519
Speaker 1: who does the right thing and you really know it's

1555
01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:06,800
Speaker 1: the right thing, regardless of party affiliation, you've got to

1556
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:08,559
Speaker 1: say that that thing they did, I'm not saying you

1557
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:10,519
Speaker 1: have to agree with that person or join them and

1558
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:12,519
Speaker 1: or you know whatever. But that thing that they did,

1559
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:15,040
Speaker 1: you've got to say it's the right thing, and you've

1560
01:31:15,040 --> 01:31:16,720
Speaker 1: got to give credit where it's due to people who

1561
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:20,879
Speaker 1: do it. So Eligic Cummings stepped up. And then Lynn Patton,

1562
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:24,200
Speaker 1: who was the person at issue here, the person of

1563
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:27,280
Speaker 1: color who was there to speak on behalf of the president.

1564
01:31:27,320 --> 01:31:31,719
Speaker 1: She spoke play three. Why does she take the word

1565
01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:36,760
Speaker 1: of a self confessed perjurer and criminally convicted white man

1566
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:42,080
Speaker 1: over a black female who's highly educated. That's more racist

1567
01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:49,160
Speaker 1: than being put up there as a quote unquote prop yep. Meanwhile,

1568
01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:51,840
Speaker 1: Don Lemon tried to justify to lead play clip four.

1569
01:31:52,439 --> 01:31:57,439
Speaker 1: There's nothing more personal to me than my relationship. My

1570
01:31:57,600 --> 01:32:01,760
Speaker 1: nieces and nephews are people of color. So look, the

1571
01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:06,000
Speaker 1: congressman obviously loves his family. He saw how emotional he

1572
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:09,280
Speaker 1: was there. But honestly, that is just not the point.

1573
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:13,360
Speaker 1: Is you had loved ones who are people of color.

1574
01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:16,599
Speaker 1: It's not the point that you you've hired a person

1575
01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:19,240
Speaker 1: of color. It's not the point that some of your

1576
01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:22,879
Speaker 1: best friends or people of color. This is what especially

1577
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:25,360
Speaker 1: people of color try to get people to understand. All

1578
01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:27,080
Speaker 1: the no, no, okay, I mean we're done with Don

1579
01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 1: Lemon anywhere here. No. No, how you treat people is

1580
01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:33,920
Speaker 1: what matters, not what party, what political affiliation you have.

1581
01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:36,519
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean you are or are not racist. How

1582
01:32:36,560 --> 01:32:43,120
Speaker 1: do you treat people? Don Mark Meadows obviously take it,

1583
01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:45,679
Speaker 1: takes it very personally because he treats people of color

1584
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:51,240
Speaker 1: as people. We'll be right back. I keep coming up

1585
01:32:51,280 --> 01:32:56,639
Speaker 1: with extreme scenarios where I show you where the left

1586
01:32:56,720 --> 01:33:00,400
Speaker 1: is going, or I show you what the logical ends

1587
01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:03,519
Speaker 1: of a position that the progressives take is going to be,

1588
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:07,040
Speaker 1: and I do it to illustrate a point, but then

1589
01:33:07,160 --> 01:33:11,920
Speaker 1: it's only a matter of time before that is the reality,

1590
01:33:12,040 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 1: as in, I say, this is so this left wing

1591
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:19,040
Speaker 1: idea is so crazy that next thing, you know, they're

1592
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:24,600
Speaker 1: gonna be saying X, and then give it about a

1593
01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:27,840
Speaker 1: six month lag time, and that's actually what they're saying,

1594
01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:31,360
Speaker 1: you know. So I'm having a hard time, you know,

1595
01:33:31,439 --> 01:33:33,680
Speaker 1: keeping up with how crazy the left is because my

1596
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:36,960
Speaker 1: examples of how much crazier they're going to be keep

1597
01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:41,200
Speaker 1: coming true. So the extremes are no longer used to

1598
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:43,840
Speaker 1: prove a point about the flaws in their logic. The

1599
01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:47,840
Speaker 1: extremes that I'm identifying are just way points on their

1600
01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:53,000
Speaker 1: progress into the depths of insane town. And here is

1601
01:33:53,200 --> 01:34:00,599
Speaker 1: a perfect example of that, an article in Academia Edu,

1602
01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:07,599
Speaker 1: which is a clearinghouse for academic papers from Yuna. That's

1603
01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:10,400
Speaker 1: the closest I can get to Norwegian University of Oslo,

1604
01:34:11,439 --> 01:34:16,880
Speaker 1: and it is a moral case for legal age change.

1605
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:18,800
Speaker 1: And let me just this is a This is a

1606
01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:24,320
Speaker 1: peer reviewed and published academic article at the University of Oslo,

1607
01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:26,960
Speaker 1: which I hear is lovely this time of year if

1608
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:32,080
Speaker 1: you like skiing to class. University of Oslo is you know.

1609
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:36,880
Speaker 1: Oh also the also Alto University in Finland, which I

1610
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:41,280
Speaker 1: hear they have a great program in snowcone making. But

1611
01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:44,320
Speaker 1: here's the piece, a moral case for legal age change.

1612
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:48,320
Speaker 1: Should a person who feels his legal age does not

1613
01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:52,160
Speaker 1: correspond with his experienced age be allowed to change his

1614
01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:55,639
Speaker 1: legal age? In this paper I argue that in some

1615
01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:58,320
Speaker 1: cases people should be allowed to change their legal age.

1616
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:02,920
Speaker 1: Such cases would be when one the person genuinely feels

1617
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:06,599
Speaker 1: his age differs significantly from his chronological age, and two

1618
01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:11,479
Speaker 1: the person's biological age is recognized to be significantly different

1619
01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:14,639
Speaker 1: than his chronological age. And three, age change would likely prevent,

1620
01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:19,000
Speaker 1: stop or reduce ageism or discrimination he would otherwise face.

1621
01:35:21,080 --> 01:35:23,679
Speaker 1: I mean, does it get does it get much much

1622
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:27,479
Speaker 1: nuttier than this? There's a guy who is suing. I

1623
01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:30,400
Speaker 1: forget where, but you know, look what happens in Europe.

1624
01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:35,719
Speaker 1: It's always just they're further down the socialism and progressivism

1625
01:35:35,800 --> 01:35:40,080
Speaker 1: insanity pathway than we are. But it is just a

1626
01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:44,040
Speaker 1: matter of time before we find ourselves face with the

1627
01:35:44,080 --> 01:35:46,920
Speaker 1: same problems that they have had or that they are having.

1628
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:49,320
Speaker 1: And I know that there's a guy who's suing right

1629
01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:54,920
Speaker 1: now in Europe, in Europe because he says that he

1630
01:35:54,960 --> 01:35:56,320
Speaker 1: should be a lot of change his age, and they

1631
01:35:56,320 --> 01:35:59,880
Speaker 1: won't let him. But just think about this, you know,

1632
01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:02,559
Speaker 1: think about the ways this could be abused. And you know,

1633
01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. You don't have to get very creative

1634
01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:08,640
Speaker 1: before you realize there's problems here. But the notion that

1635
01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:12,759
Speaker 1: legal age is a cause for discrimination, and that also

1636
01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:19,320
Speaker 1: somebody's psychology can overcome how society treats the physical reality

1637
01:36:19,400 --> 01:36:22,760
Speaker 1: of who they are. This just goes to show you

1638
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:27,880
Speaker 1: that transgenderism, which is now not just embrace but it

1639
01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:33,880
Speaker 1: is dogmatically worshiped on the left transgenderism has now opened

1640
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:39,639
Speaker 1: the door very wide to transracialism. I don't think I mean,

1641
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:41,720
Speaker 1: look at Elizabeth Warren, right, but I know I don't

1642
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:44,680
Speaker 1: think I'm white. I think I'm actually from Papua New

1643
01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:48,680
Speaker 1: Guinea and should be treated as a Pacific islander. And

1644
01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:53,840
Speaker 1: now trans ageism. You're you're going to see more of

1645
01:36:53,880 --> 01:36:59,400
Speaker 1: this because liberal intellectual types are not necessarily real intellectuals.

1646
01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:02,559
Speaker 1: But you know, mozers in the universities are going to

1647
01:37:02,600 --> 01:37:05,759
Speaker 1: see this as a new frontier to make the argument

1648
01:37:05,840 --> 01:37:10,559
Speaker 1: against rationality, because ultimately, what the left likes to do

1649
01:37:10,680 --> 01:37:14,439
Speaker 1: as part of its relativistic approach to all things is

1650
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:17,880
Speaker 1: to find a way to undermine facts and logic in

1651
01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:26,360
Speaker 1: their pursuit of power. Team Bucket, It's time for roll call.

1652
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:40,720
Speaker 1: Role Call tom everybody, remember that tomorrow I will be

1653
01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:43,679
Speaker 1: That's Friday. I'll be at Seapack at the Gay Lord

1654
01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:47,519
Speaker 1: International Convention Center in Maryland. Yes that is the name

1655
01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:50,120
Speaker 1: of the place, and I'll be giving a speech at

1656
01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:53,240
Speaker 1: eight forty five I should say a debate, not a speech.

1657
01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:56,200
Speaker 1: Having a debate at eight forty five am on Syria.

1658
01:37:56,320 --> 01:37:58,639
Speaker 1: And then I'm moderating a panel tomorrow evening at Sea

1659
01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:02,320
Speaker 1: Pack I think around six six thirty on cyber warfare

1660
01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:05,840
Speaker 1: and election integrity. It's gonna be wonky but should be

1661
01:38:05,920 --> 01:38:10,000
Speaker 1: very interesting. So if you are in the DC, Maryland,

1662
01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:13,960
Speaker 1: Virginia area, please please come by Sea Pack. You'll be

1663
01:38:13,960 --> 01:38:16,759
Speaker 1: able to find me. I'll be the guy wandering around

1664
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:20,720
Speaker 1: in boat shoes with the side swoop that you have

1665
01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:24,120
Speaker 1: all come to know and hopefully at least are amused by.

1666
01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:26,760
Speaker 1: So yes, please do come by and say what's up.

1667
01:38:26,960 --> 01:38:28,880
Speaker 1: And Ben Winegarten is going to be in for me

1668
01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:31,880
Speaker 1: tomorrow on radio because I can't get to see Pack

1669
01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:35,680
Speaker 1: do all the Seapack stuff, moderate the panel, and do

1670
01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:39,360
Speaker 1: the show. So I'm basically at Sea Pack tomorrow for

1671
01:38:40,200 --> 01:38:42,519
Speaker 1: the day. But Ben does a great job here on

1672
01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:44,840
Speaker 1: the show. He's already lining up guests and it's going

1673
01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:48,120
Speaker 1: to be a really, really solid outing for mister Weingarten

1674
01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:51,000
Speaker 1: as always, and he gets psyched. I mean, he loves

1675
01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:54,960
Speaker 1: he loves Team Buck and he is always really enthusiastic

1676
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:57,200
Speaker 1: about being a part of what we do here in

1677
01:38:57,200 --> 01:38:58,920
Speaker 1: the Hut. So make sure you tune into Ben. He's

1678
01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:03,000
Speaker 1: gonna lay it down Facebook dot com a slash a

1679
01:39:03,080 --> 01:39:06,040
Speaker 1: Buck sex and if you want in on this role.

1680
01:39:06,280 --> 01:39:14,679
Speaker 1: Call action action. It's fun to say. Robin rights follow

1681
01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:18,400
Speaker 1: up on family leave. One hundred percent agree it shouldn't

1682
01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:21,080
Speaker 1: be regulated by the government. I am a self employed

1683
01:39:21,120 --> 01:39:24,000
Speaker 1: mother of five. Wow, Robin, I took eight weeks off

1684
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:27,160
Speaker 1: with zero income and four more with part time. It

1685
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:30,559
Speaker 1: required planning, sacrifice, and a good support network. It was

1686
01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 1: so very well worth it. I will say that when

1687
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:35,720
Speaker 1: I went through my miscarriage, I was given three days

1688
01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:38,439
Speaker 1: off from my employer at the time. That was generous

1689
01:39:38,479 --> 01:39:41,679
Speaker 1: by industry standards, but not nearly enough. Time off without

1690
01:39:41,720 --> 01:39:45,439
Speaker 1: pay was not permitted. Again, shouldn't be government dated, but

1691
01:39:45,439 --> 01:39:49,160
Speaker 1: it should be a conversation our society is exploring together. Look, Robin,

1692
01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:52,600
Speaker 1: I totally agree. I think that family leave should be

1693
01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:57,639
Speaker 1: something that is discussed as a employee benefit right up front,

1694
01:39:58,160 --> 01:40:02,479
Speaker 1: the same way that you would discuss what your healthcare

1695
01:40:02,520 --> 01:40:04,760
Speaker 1: plan is, what your four oh one K is. But

1696
01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:07,360
Speaker 1: it has to be thought of as a benefit because

1697
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:11,479
Speaker 1: if it's a government mandate, is very likely that it

1698
01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:13,720
Speaker 1: will put undue strain on a lot of businesses, and

1699
01:40:13,720 --> 01:40:16,559
Speaker 1: there will, just as in our discussion of green energy,

1700
01:40:16,680 --> 01:40:22,639
Speaker 1: there are unforeseen and even sometimes unforeseeable consequences of government

1701
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:33,840
Speaker 1: intrusion into market activity. Caroline, Sweet Caroline, bom bomp bap. Everybody.

1702
01:40:34,760 --> 01:40:37,240
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that. That's the song that they put on

1703
01:40:37,280 --> 01:40:40,960
Speaker 1: at every bar in America at about two o'clock in

1704
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:43,760
Speaker 1: the morning. It's not the last song, but it's the

1705
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:46,800
Speaker 1: song they put on after bon Jovi Living on a Prayer,

1706
01:40:46,800 --> 01:40:49,559
Speaker 1: which comes on around one thirty whatever. It's like, na

1707
01:40:50,240 --> 01:40:56,679
Speaker 1: halfway there. Ever ever likes to just just scream Living

1708
01:40:56,720 --> 01:40:59,800
Speaker 1: on a Prayer at you know, twelve thirty, you know,

1709
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:02,840
Speaker 1: at night around there, when they're really good and lit,

1710
01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:06,520
Speaker 1: that's when they get the bon job. But Sweet Caroline

1711
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:08,880
Speaker 1: comes on later on. Sweet Caroline is kind of when

1712
01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:10,840
Speaker 1: you got to make the all right, how am I

1713
01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:12,519
Speaker 1: going to get home safely? Do we need to call

1714
01:41:12,560 --> 01:41:14,920
Speaker 1: a cab? You know? Those are the those are the

1715
01:41:14,960 --> 01:41:18,439
Speaker 1: thoughts that come after Sweet Caroline. It's it's pretty much

1716
01:41:18,479 --> 01:41:20,800
Speaker 1: when the lights come on, you look around, you're like,

1717
01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:24,040
Speaker 1: what have I done with my night? Oh? Sorry, Caroline

1718
01:41:24,040 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 1: actually wanted to say some things. Um, hold on a second,

1719
01:41:27,439 --> 01:41:31,360
Speaker 1: I share outrage with people. Hold on, Carolin, let me

1720
01:41:31,360 --> 01:41:34,519
Speaker 1: come back to this one. Tj Sorry Caroline, I lost

1721
01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 1: your I lost my Wait, why is it? The computer

1722
01:41:39,360 --> 01:41:43,400
Speaker 1: is not cooperating here, guys, I'm sorry. Sometimes it freezes

1723
01:41:43,479 --> 01:41:45,120
Speaker 1: up on me. I sound like one of these old people.

1724
01:41:45,120 --> 01:41:49,719
Speaker 1: It's like the VCR won't work. Somebody make my VCR work.

1725
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:54,639
Speaker 1: Kimberly writes, I agree with everyone else. Your Trey Gouty

1726
01:41:54,680 --> 01:41:57,120
Speaker 1: is not very good. You're not very good at doing

1727
01:41:57,120 --> 01:42:01,720
Speaker 1: a Southern drawl. Keep practicing, ouch pre Climberly word if

1728
01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:04,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking about luck. Just all right? I know you

1729
01:42:04,960 --> 01:42:06,920
Speaker 1: hate it, you hate it. I don't want to all right,

1730
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:10,720
Speaker 1: I give, I give. My Trey Gaudy has been voted off.

1731
01:42:10,720 --> 01:42:13,800
Speaker 1: The Island Trade does not have the speaking torch on

1732
01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:16,840
Speaker 1: the show. Will I will back off of the Trey

1733
01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:21,120
Speaker 1: Gaudy impersonations? Mark? Are you sure? But maybe I can

1734
01:42:21,200 --> 01:42:26,519
Speaker 1: get a bet? No? No, Trey, No, the people have spoken.

1735
01:42:28,280 --> 01:42:33,280
Speaker 1: Brian Rights buck Wow, watched your and Crystal's interview with

1736
01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:36,519
Speaker 1: the Sunrise co founder. You didn't let her off with

1737
01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:39,360
Speaker 1: a free pass, and it's a testament to your TV show.

1738
01:42:40,040 --> 01:42:42,320
Speaker 1: Very entertaining and would love to know the post show

1739
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:46,719
Speaker 1: commentary say I have a bachelor or science or electronic engineering.

1740
01:42:46,720 --> 01:42:49,120
Speaker 1: Does that make me an expert to indoctrinate my kids,

1741
01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:52,400
Speaker 1: niece's nephews, and other family members with Marxist political narratives,

1742
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, because science. Yeah, Brian, I am rarely surprised

1743
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:02,920
Speaker 1: by the extra dreamism of the left. But for somebody

1744
01:43:02,960 --> 01:43:06,240
Speaker 1: who is an adult roughly around my age, maybe a

1745
01:43:06,240 --> 01:43:08,639
Speaker 1: little younger, probably about you know, thirty, I would say,

1746
01:43:09,520 --> 01:43:11,720
Speaker 1: who would look me in the eye and not have

1747
01:43:11,760 --> 01:43:15,479
Speaker 1: an immediate answer to should ten year olds be able

1748
01:43:15,479 --> 01:43:19,439
Speaker 1: to vote? This would be like me asking somebody, do

1749
01:43:19,479 --> 01:43:22,920
Speaker 1: you think that it's a good thing that cannibalism is outlawed?

1750
01:43:24,080 --> 01:43:26,599
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have to think about that one, right, It's

1751
01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:30,080
Speaker 1: it's good that we are not okay with cannibalism and

1752
01:43:30,120 --> 01:43:33,439
Speaker 1: it is against the law. Cannibalism should be outlawed. That

1753
01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:36,880
Speaker 1: shouldn't be. That shouldn't be a stumper, you know, one

1754
01:43:36,960 --> 01:43:41,160
Speaker 1: that gets you stumped. And it's the same thing with

1755
01:43:41,920 --> 01:43:44,320
Speaker 1: should a ten year old be able to vote? You know,

1756
01:43:45,120 --> 01:43:47,759
Speaker 1: those of you who are Ghostbusters fan know, when someone

1757
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:50,920
Speaker 1: asks you if you're a god, you say yes. When

1758
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:53,200
Speaker 1: someone asks you if ten year olds can vote, you

1759
01:43:53,320 --> 01:43:56,320
Speaker 1: say no. You don't say I need to think on

1760
01:43:56,360 --> 01:43:58,080
Speaker 1: that one a little bit I don't have the answer,

1761
01:43:58,840 --> 01:44:01,320
Speaker 1: and that was where the extremism really came out. You know,

1762
01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:05,080
Speaker 1: I try on Rising, I have to practice because I don't.

1763
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:08,280
Speaker 1: It's not a platform like some of the conservative cable

1764
01:44:08,280 --> 01:44:11,599
Speaker 1: news shows where I can really just hammer at somebody

1765
01:44:11,600 --> 01:44:13,679
Speaker 1: if I want to. I have to share the stage

1766
01:44:13,720 --> 01:44:16,960
Speaker 1: and share the airtime with my liberal co host, So

1767
01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:20,200
Speaker 1: I have to just get in with pointed questions. I

1768
01:44:20,240 --> 01:44:24,679
Speaker 1: can't dominate and hound and do some of the things.

1769
01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:28,479
Speaker 1: You know I can't. O'Reilly anybody on Rising? Those you

1770
01:44:28,600 --> 01:44:30,120
Speaker 1: used to watch O Riley, you know what I'm talking about.

1771
01:44:30,160 --> 01:44:33,240
Speaker 1: We'll do it live. Hey Bill was in his day.

1772
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:36,240
Speaker 1: Bill was great at TV, no question about it. I

01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:40,920
Speaker 1: got respect for the guy's TV skills. Harry rights, hey Buck.

1774
01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:43,800
Speaker 1: It occurs to me, what's the number of Maizie Harronos

1775
01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:46,760
Speaker 1: Senate Bill ordering a fleet of clipper ships and their

1776
01:44:46,800 --> 01:44:49,719
Speaker 1: sailors that will be needed to supply everything to Hawaii,

Speaker 1: including tourists, shields high Harry, Harry, I have no idea

Speaker 1: question about a sponsor from the past, know that I

1803
01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:14,439
Speaker 1: respond very quickly, and I've taken concerns all the way

1804
01:46:14,520 --> 01:46:16,880
Speaker 1: up to the very top of the food chain. I've

1805
01:46:16,960 --> 01:46:21,000
Speaker 1: I've forwarded emails to me or Facebook messages to me

1806
01:46:21,080 --> 01:46:23,360
Speaker 1: about a product directly to the CEO of a company

1807
01:46:23,400 --> 01:46:25,920
Speaker 1: if I think it's merited. So that's that we have

1808
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:28,880
Speaker 1: real partnerships here. These are not companies that I don't

1809
01:46:28,880 --> 01:46:31,040
Speaker 1: know who they are or what they do, who runs it,

1810
01:46:31,120 --> 01:46:35,639
Speaker 1: none of that stuff. David Right's, hey, Buck, why don't

1811
01:46:35,640 --> 01:46:38,000
Speaker 1: we ever hear about how Chavez still billions of dollars

1812
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:39,880
Speaker 1: and how his daughter transferred all that money out of

1813
01:46:39,880 --> 01:46:43,320
Speaker 1: the country and then and then she left the country

1814
01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:46,759
Speaker 1: as a billionaire. I'm sure the Venezuelans could use that money.

1815
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:51,160
Speaker 1: I guess Bernie thinks it's okay, all right, later, Doc, Yeah,

1816
01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:54,559
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. This is what always happens in these

1817
01:46:54,680 --> 01:46:58,719
Speaker 1: so called socialist paradises. The people in charge just loot

1818
01:46:58,800 --> 01:47:03,360
Speaker 1: the country, just steal, steal and steal some more. And

1819
01:47:03,800 --> 01:47:05,960
Speaker 1: when you point that out, you're told that you're being

1820
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:10,160
Speaker 1: a Yankee imperialist, or that you're being unfair to the

1821
01:47:10,240 --> 01:47:14,920
Speaker 1: socialist revolutionary credentials, or whatever. But yes, it is true

1822
01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:19,200
Speaker 1: that the Chavez family are billionaires. And you would be

1823
01:47:19,200 --> 01:47:22,160
Speaker 1: hard pressed to show me a country where you have

1824
01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:28,240
Speaker 1: a socialist and a strong man and where you don't

1825
01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:32,880
Speaker 1: have a situation that the looting has occurred. It always

1826
01:47:32,880 --> 01:47:36,880
Speaker 1: socialism and strong man goes together like looting in and

1827
01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:38,880
Speaker 1: carrots or something, you know whatever. You know what I was,

1828
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:42,960
Speaker 1: You know what I was going for, Rob Right, But

1829
01:47:43,200 --> 01:47:46,760
Speaker 1: great show, truly love it, Rob Show loves you. I

1830
01:47:46,800 --> 01:47:49,040
Speaker 1: think the Democratic Party is at war on two fronts,

1831
01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:52,120
Speaker 1: the Green New Deal far left crazies and the conservatives

1832
01:47:52,160 --> 01:47:55,120
Speaker 1: who want truth in life. Where does that leave them?

1833
01:47:55,160 --> 01:47:57,639
Speaker 1: They are neither communist nor conservative. How do we get

1834
01:47:57,640 --> 01:48:00,280
Speaker 1: to this point where communism is at our door? God

1835
01:48:00,320 --> 01:48:03,120
Speaker 1: save America. Pray for our president, whom I trust, shields

1836
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:09,640
Speaker 1: high for a president he is anointed. Uh, Well, you

1837
01:48:09,720 --> 01:48:13,080
Speaker 1: know you're right about the Green New Deal, and I did.

1838
01:48:13,240 --> 01:48:15,320
Speaker 1: I think you're right also about the fundamental schism in

1839
01:48:15,320 --> 01:48:19,840
Speaker 1: this country. So we need to fight, and I think

1840
01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:23,320
Speaker 1: that we are in for a very very important and

1841
01:48:23,400 --> 01:48:26,280
Speaker 1: it's going to be quite a contest going into twenty twenty.

1842
01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:30,680
Speaker 1: Bill writes, Your trade gaudy does sound like Bill Cosby,

1843
01:48:31,400 --> 01:48:36,400
Speaker 1: what tree guardiles general putting pops. Maybe maybe I should

1844
01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:39,040
Speaker 1: just transfer over my trade gouty to being a Bill Cosby,

1845
01:48:39,120 --> 01:48:44,000

Speaker 1: heard of neopolitan, I suppose it's a mood point. It's
