1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: M you are entering the freedom hunt. Hurricane Florence barrels

2
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: toward the Carolinas. Will talk about what the expectations are

3
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: for that storm and how it's already being politicized. Also,

4
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris are lying about Judge Kavanaugh.

5
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: They're lying in such blatant fashion even their own side

6
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: has had to call it out. We'll discuss what the

7
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: political calculation is. And also Norm McDonald banished. We'll talk

8
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: about why and how he got caught up in a

9
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: meet you moment coming up, This is the buck Sexton Show,

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really

11
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence. Magnormastake, You're a great American Again.

12
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: The Buck Sexton Show begins. Analyst by the NMVD. No.

13
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: We believe that there could be well over a hundred

14
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: thousand people displaced, meaning they've left their homes and can't return.

15
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: Put that in perspective, there were about forty four thousand

16
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: in Houston and the Gulf of Texas uh in the

17
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: storm that they had, So this is two or three

18
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: times bigger than that. The federal and state response and

19
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: preparation to this point has far exceeded anything I've seen

20
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: in my previous twenty five years. Um FEMA's prepositioning of equipment,

21
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: their coordination with the states, the early decisions by governors

22
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: and the actions by the President to sign the emergency declarations,

23
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: the prepositioning of water and food generators, the prepositioning of

24
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 1: power trucks to take care of the power losses. I've

25
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: never seen as well a coordinated efforts that's being put

26
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: on right now. Welcome to Bucks Saxton Show. Folks, I

27
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: really like that we're getting on the record here from

28
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: federal officials. You know how much preparation is going into this,

29
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: Because one, I want to know that our fellow Americans

30
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: and the Carolinas that are affected are getting as much

31
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: assistance and attention and and and help us possible. That's

32
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: the most important thing far in a way, Also though,

33
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: as a secondary consideration here, it's good for us all

34
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: to get a chance to u to hear from folks

35
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: who are just being honest about what's going on, because

36
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: you can tell the media's positioning themselves to pounce on

37
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: Trump for this, and no matter what happens, no matter

38
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: what Trump and the an FEMA and federal and state

39
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: agencies try to do here to limit the damage and

40
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: protect life with this massive storm at category three I

41
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: believe right now still very high winds about to hit

42
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: the US mainland. They're gonna try to make political hand this.

43
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to turn this into a yet another

44
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: opportunity to bash President Trump. That is, that is a

45
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: goal here, that is what they're looking for. And that's

46
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: why you can see that some of the questions they're asking,

47
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: they're they're preparing this narrative before it even happens. You

48
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,839
Speaker 1: had a guy from what Spectrum News producer Mike, who

49
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: was asking a FEMA representative about funds being directed, and

50
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: they're trying to they're trying to say, you know, Trump

51
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: essentially isn't doing They're trying to find some basis to

52
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: say Trump isn't doing enough here. Trump doesn't care about

53
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: people that are getting hit by hurricane I just Trump

54
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: doesn't care about anything. That's the media things, just himself.

55
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: That's the storyline they want to run with no matter what. Well,

56
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: here's how it actually went. When they talk to a

57
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: FEMA representative a out a play five. We're learning this

58
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: morning that Senator Jeff Markley obtained memos showing the Trump

59
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: administration taking nearly ten million from FEMA, which deals with

60
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: hurricane relief, and giving the money to ICE for more

61
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: detention centers. What can you tell us about this? Is

62
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: that funding? This that funding? Would that funding have been

63
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 1: used for hurricane relief? Yes, ma'am, what I can tell

64
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: you is we have plenty of resources, both monetary, staff

65
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: and commodities to respond to the dangerous storm that is

66
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: Hurricane Florence. We again ask those residents there in the

67
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: impacted zones to heed the warnings. Now, uh, disitional information

68
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: can be provided, but right now we want to focus

69
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: on what are those impacts from Florence and what can

70
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: our citizens do today which is the last good day

71
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: to evacuate. And we really want to push that message specifically,

72
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: shed any light on this funding that Senator Markley is

73
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: Markly is calling attention to. Yes, ma'am, what I continued,

74
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: we have plenty of resources to respond. We have plenty

75
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: of resources to recover. That has not impacted our situation whatsoever.

76
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: Plenty of resources, he says, Stop trying to find a story,

77
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 1: Stop trying to create a story of insufficient resources because

78
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: you want to make it sound like Trump doesn't care,

79
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: isn't doing enough, or isn't doing a good job. Just

80
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 1: stop right, that's that's not happening. It's not what's happening.

81
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: You're supposed to report the who's not make it up

82
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: as you go along, and not try to force a

83
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: narrative that's not there. But as you know, folks, the

84
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: left sea storms as an opportunity, SE's major natural disasters,

85
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: weather events like this as an opportunity to slam the

86
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: political opposition, and they can't accept that. You know, sometimes

87
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: just really bad things happen that no one can completely

88
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: or fully or adequately prepare for. There's going to be damaged.

89
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: They'll even sometimes be loss of light. That is just

90
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: the way things are, you know, they don't they don't

91
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: have any sense of that, right, it's always, oh my gosh,

92
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: Trump didn't Trump didn't do this, or Trump won't do that.

93
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: And they're trying to also tie this into uh, what

94
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: happened in Puerto Rico already to create you see how

95
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: they're trying to formulate this narrative. Because here's what President

96
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: Trump said about Puerto Rico just yesterday. Playclip one. I

97
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: think Puerto Rico was incredibly success from Puerto Rico was

98
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: actually our toughest one of all because it's an island,

99
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: so you just you can't truck things onto and everything

100
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: by boat. We moved to hospital into Puerto Rico, a

101
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: commendous military hospital in the form of a ship. You

102
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: know that Puerto Rico got hit not with one hurricane

103
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: but with two. And the problem with Puerto Rico is

104
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: their electric grid and their electric generating plan was dead

105
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: before the storm's ever hit. The job that TEMA and

106
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: law enforcement and everybody did, working along with the governor

107
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: in Puerto Rico, I think was tremendous. I think the

108
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico was an incredible unsung success. Now they're jumping

109
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: all over him for this, right. They are the media

110
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: there in a meltdown over there. They even got the

111
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: all the mayor of San Juan to come out to

112
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: trash drump plate too. Well. I think the person of

113
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: statement is despicable. It just goes to the lack of

114
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: understanding of reality that he has. If he thinks that

115
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: the dead of three thousand people is the best, he

116
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: really doesn't know what this was all about. This was

117
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: never about politics. He's talking about on plaise Well, you know,

118
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: nobody's singing his places, folks. I can't always tell with

119
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: the Left whether we're dealing with an idiot or a liar,

120
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: but all too often these days it's one, if not

121
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,119
Speaker 1: both of those things. When President Trump says that Puerto

122
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: Rico is an incredible, unsung success, he's not saying the

123
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: storm was a success. He's not saying, look at how

124
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: great everything is in Puerto Rico. What he's trying to

125
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: convey to the American people is that the federal response,

126
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: under the circumstances, dealing with the limitations of reality, was

127
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: very very effective. I mean, this to me would be

128
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: like saying, well, how dare anybody say that the UH

129
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: that that nine eleven, that the cleanup effort there was

130
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, a really really really really successful. You know,

131
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: the cleanup effort didn't save any lives. You know that

132
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: the clean up effort didn't stop the towers from coming down.

133
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: Well no, but it's a terrible situation, and we we

134
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: got we got attacked, a sneak attack by Jihada psychopaths

135
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: skill three thousand Americans. But the response to that, afterwards,

136
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: you can still say that the response to UH to

137
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: deal with the debris to clean up the site to

138
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: you know, was was well done by the federal government.

139
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: You know, the these are these are kind of two

140
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: separate things that you can refer to. With Puerto Rico,

141
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: he's not saying the hurricane was an unsung success. He's

142
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: saying the response to it, under the circumstances, which were

143
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: incredibly difficult, was a very good response. It doesn't mean

144
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: it's perfect, it doesn't mean it's not terribly sad that

145
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: thousands of people died. He's just saying, we we did,

146
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: under the circumstances, the best that could be done. And

147
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: the left, of course, you know, they deny this. They

148
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: shout him down for this, and they want us that

149
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: he's an unfeeling brute and evil and in all the

150
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: rest of him because folks, you know, we talked about

151
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: everything is political now, even whether is very political to

152
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: the left. Not just climate change. They're gonna do that

153
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: with this too, but response to natural disasters is an

154
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to score gee political points. Well, we'll get more

155
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: into this and the media meltdown over it in a moment.

156
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: We've also got Joe Bus started joining to talk about

157
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: uh some you know, his expert opinion on what we

158
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: should expect here. So that and much more coming up,

159
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: stay with me. The president's record on hurricane response uneven

160
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: at best. A deadly hurricane in Puerto Rico almost exactly

161
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: one year ago revealed that even natural disasters are processed

162
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: by this president as political undertaking. If we've been talking

163
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: about how the President today called the hurricane response in

164
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico one of the best jobs that's ever been done,

165
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: pointing to last year's response to Puerto Rico's hurricane as

166
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: quote an incredible unsung success, as an incredible unsung success,

167
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: he's still saying it was an incredible unsung success. Stories.

168
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: So how out of touch as President Trump, far more

169
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: so than President Bush. If he thinks that's an unparalleled success.

170
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: God only knows what he would think of father would be.

171
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: You know, if the President thinks that his response in

172
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: the federal government's response to Puerto Rico was an incredible success,

173
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: and quite honestly, we're all in trouble. The statements by

174
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: the President, let's be clear, are delusional and sensitive and outrageous.

175
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: The only one who was lazy was you, Mr President.

176
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: You were lazy and you weren't on duty. And people

177
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: died because of it. Blaming Trump for the dead in

178
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico. I'm doing so, by the way, while saying that,

179
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 1: you know, Trump is the one who politicizes hurricanes and

180
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: hurricane believe. Isn't it astonishing? This is a reminder really

181
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: of one of Obama's favorite tactics, which was Obama always

182
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: took the position that the other side was political. He

183
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: was just righteous and wise. You know, they have they've

184
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: got politics. I've got solutions, the answers they do politics.

185
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't do that. You know, Obama always had that approach,

186
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: and it's it's really dishonest and obviously demeaning to the

187
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: other side. Um, but you know, they go even beyond so.

188
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of layers here of how unfair

189
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: they are to Trump on this whole issue. It's not

190
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: just that they say that. And look, I would have

191
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: used different language than Trump to describe what happened in

192
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico and in his efforts to try and get

193
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico the aid that it needed. But you know,

194
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: there's also this level of saying that Trump is the

195
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: reason people died. I mean, that's just despicable. It's despicable

196
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: to make that claim because there's no evidence for it.

197
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: It's obviously a disgraceful thing to say. And they keep saying.

198
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: In fact, Joe Crowley, who's the member of Congress, the

199
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: kind of long time I'm big time Democrat from New

200
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: York who lost to Alexandra Occasio Cortes. Uh he he

201
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: just explicitly says, you know, basically, Trump killed people play

202
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: a teen. We failed our fellow citizens and fellow Americans

203
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: in Puerto Rico. President Trump ignored the entire island, leaving people,

204
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: quite frankly, to die. Um, this Republican the Congress failed

205
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: to allocate the necessary funds to help rebuild and repair

206
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: the island, and I believe this was preventable. Now, you know, folks,

207
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too deep into this because

208
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: I'd have to really dig into the numbers, but they're

209
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: they're all Only sixty people were lost from the actual

210
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: storm as it happened, So it was a very small

211
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: number relatively speaking. You know, every life is precious and

212
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: every death is a tragedy in the situation, I understand,

213
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: but a very small number, relatively speaking, were killed from

214
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: the storm. It was the aftermath of the storm. We

215
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: had this number now three thousand people, which of course

216
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: is very similar to the very close to the number

217
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: of those who were killed on the day of nine oleven,

218
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: not over a period of many, many months. But when

219
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: you look at also how this is being UH tabulated,

220
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: what they're doing is they're saying, well, the condition of

221
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: the island was so deteriorated that the mortality rate when

222
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: you took out the when when you when you you know,

223
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: excluded the people that had left the island, the mortality

224
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: rate of those who stayed behind was so significantly hired

225
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: at three thousand people died. But you know a lot

226
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: of these cases people are that they're talking about, they

227
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: died from, you know, diabetes, They died from a lack

228
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: of of treatment for h retreatable diseases. I mean, and

229
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: I just think it's I think it's a very strange

230
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: thing to claim the President Trump is responsible for those debts. UM.

231
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: I spoke to the delegate from from Puerto Rico about this.

232
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: I spoke to the UH the one person who represents

233
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: Puerto Rican Congress, and she said, flatly, the federal government

234
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: sent a lot of resources. The federal government was trying

235
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: to help us. It was a really really bad situation.

236
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: The storm was way worse than anything we had prepared for.

237
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: That that's Trump's fault, now, you know, the folks. The

238
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: thing you have to remember is that liberals see all

239
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: of these different political stories in terms of cycles, right.

240
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: They see it as what worked before. That's why they

241
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: get so excited about Woodward and Bernstein and Watergate and

242
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: Trump and impeachment. They think they can bring that whole

243
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: thing back. And they also view a real tipping point

244
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: in the Bush administration as the as the Katrina moment

245
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: that Bush had, and they think that they can replicate

246
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: that with Trump and start to turn the Remember Bush

247
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: after not eleven very much United Country behind him very proper.

248
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: There was really Katrina where you started to see a

249
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: big shift in public opinion on George W. Bush. And

250
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: they're hoping that the hurricane and Puerto Rico is an

251
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: opportunity to do the same thing. So it's it's very

252
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: it's very obviously political, very explicitly political from them. But

253
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: I also think that it's it's it's dishonest on the facts.

254
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: There was a lot of aid and a lot of

255
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: supplies that were in the at the ports and Puerto

256
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: Rico that weren't able to make it into the interior

257
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: of the island because there were basically no bridges and

258
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: no roads and no power, and so we were sending stuff.

259
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: But you know, people keep saying, oh, well, if it

260
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: was the mainland, it would be uh in the mainland,

261
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: it would be such a better response. I mean, for

262
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: one thing, you look at what happened with Katrina in

263
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: New Orleans, and you know, I don't think that it's

264
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: not like, oh something, you know, you look at what

265
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: happened with Houston, even which wasn't on the same scale

266
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: as Katrina in terms of lives lost, but obviously a

267
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of damage. Just because it's on the mainland

268
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that the federal government steps in and makes

269
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: everything great and fix everything right away. And that's not

270
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: true either. So I think there's a lot of overstatement

271
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: of how big the the differences between what you what

272
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: you've seen on Puerto Rico on the island, and what

273
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: happened what's happened to the mainland when there's been a

274
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: major disaster response that has been needed in in the past.

275
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: But it's just you know, this is bushlied babies died. Folks,

276
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: remember that the Iraq War, that was the mantra love Bush.

277
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: Bush Lied babies died. And now you know with Trump,

278
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: it's essentially Bush lied babies died in Puerto Rico. That's

279
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: what they That's what they're trying to get going. As

280
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: a mean, they're trying to create political advantage from this

281
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: whole thing, even though none of them could tell me

282
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: what was what was Trump supposed to do differently in

283
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico? What was what was supposed to be his uh,

284
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: you know, the action that he would have taken them

285
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: would have stopped people from being unable to, you know,

286
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: get the medical care they needed inside of Puerto Rico.

287
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: It was he supposed to send. Even more, they couldn't

288
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: get the resources they were sending to the places they

289
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: were needed in the island because of logistics problems, because

290
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: the island was in such bad shape in the interior,

291
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: because roads had been washed away, and because there was

292
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: no power, and that obviously makes the entire response a

293
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: lot more difficult. But you know, instead of using this,

294
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: you know, if they were really concerned with the lives

295
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: lost and if they really wanted to make sure this

296
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: would never happen again, or that not nothing like this

297
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: would ever occur again. They would take the position that

298
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: we need to do a thorough after action report on

299
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: everything that happened here on the on the federal government's response,

300
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: and come up with solutions. But they're not going to

301
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: do that. At least that's not gonna get nearly the

302
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: same amount of attention and coverage. The primary focus here

303
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: is in fact, bashing Trump. They're just gonna find a

304
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: way to bash Trump in every way that they can.

305
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: That's what they're trying to do. And it's it's gross, folks.

306
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: We should we should be willing to say that. It's

307
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: really disgusting. And they're saying the President United States is

308
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: the reason that people died. In fact, he he has

309
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: blood on his hands. If you take Joe Crowley at

310
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: his word, we're gonna talk about this hurricane with an

311
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: expert in in a moment here, you know what you

312
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: should do to prepare for it and uh and what

313
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: what you should be expecting. I know we've got a

314
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: lot of team buck in the Carolina's hopefully folks. If

315
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: you are near the coast, you have heated evacuation orders.

316
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: But even if you're just in the general vicinity of

317
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: the southeastern coastal US, you should probably be prepared for

318
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: the really tough weather that's coming in. So why don't

319
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: we We're gonna talk to an expert about this. Joe

320
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: Best starting. We'll be with us in just a moment here,

321
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: So stay there, team. Hurricane Florence is fast approaching. It's

322
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: going to be here over the next forty eight hours,

323
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: and they say it's about as big as they've seen

324
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 1: coming to this country, and certainly to the east coast,

325
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: as they've ever seen. We'll handle it. We're ready, We're able.

326
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: We've got the finest people I think anywhere in the world.

327
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: FEMA and first responders are out there. They're going to

328
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: stand through the danger of this storm. Get out of

329
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: its way, don't play games with it. It's a big one,

330
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: maybe as big as they've seen, and tremendous amounts of water.

331
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: The storm will come, it will go. We want everybody

332
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: to be safe. We're fully prepared, food, medical, everything you

333
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: can imagine. We are ready. We love you all, We

334
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: want you safe. Get out of the storm's way, be ready,

335
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: and God be with you. All right, So we've got

336
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: a big storm heading for the country. You've no doubt

337
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: seen some of the news coverage of this already. I

338
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: wanted to bring on an expert who can tell us

339
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: just what to expect and then also what some of

340
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: the narratives will be. Where does the science meet the

341
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: politics in the aftermath of all this we know that's

342
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: likely to happen as well. We have Joe but starting

343
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: with us now. He is the chief meteorologist of WeatherBell

344
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: dot com. Joe, great to have you back on the show. Well,

345
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: it's great to be here, Buck. I always want the on.

346
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: So what everyone says, a lot of flooding, high wind,

347
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: big storm. What should people in the Carolinas. By the way,

348
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: we've got a whole lot of folks listening in the Carolinas.

349
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: What should they be expecting and what should they be ground? Well, uh,

350
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: in that area from Cape Lookout probably down to about Georgetown,

351
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: South Carolina, but centered really from the Grand Strand up

352
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: to Wilmington's and Cape Fear. This is going to be

353
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: a siege. That's that's the word I'm using, because you're

354
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: probably gonna have hurricane force winds that they're going to

355
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 1: be impacting these areas for a couple of days around

356
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: Cape Fear because this storm starts with the hurricane force

357
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: winds later Tomorrow afternoon Tomorrow night, and it moves so

358
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: slowly that Saturday morning there may still be hurricane force

359
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: winds around Cape Fear. So the rights filled beach and

360
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: the constant pounding from the east, um with hurricane winds

361
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: into the UH, the crescent shaped bay on Slow Bay

362
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: and these areas. I I can't even describe what can

363
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: happen here in these coastal communities. Um again, I don't

364
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that you're going to see winds by

365
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: the time the storm gets there as high as let's

366
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: say Hurricane Hazel or Hurricane you go. But the slow movement,

367
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: the tremendous amount of rain, and plus the path of

368
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: the storm, which will be UH down the coast instead

369
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: of coming up the coast, it's going back to the southwest.

370
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: It's blocked by a big upper ridge of high pressure. Well,

371
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: that's going to just compound the whole situation. And this

372
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: is a set it back on Saturday. This is probably

373
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: going to be the costliest storm and the history of

374
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: the Carolinas, and that includes some great great storms like

375
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: Hugo and Hazel and Isabel and Diane, and they have

376
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: a a storied past as far as major hurricanes go

377
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: in this area. And Joe, you know, for for folks

378
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: who are wondering about preparation, especially for along the coast,

379
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: when we're talking storm surge here, what does that really mean?

380
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: I mean, how does that manifest? How bad can that get?

381
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: How long can that last? Well, let's say you have

382
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,479
Speaker 1: a ten to fifty ft surge. That's the that's the

383
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: water level, how high the water level will actually rise.

384
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: That's not the waves on top of the water level.

385
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got reports of seventy ft waves with

386
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,239
Speaker 1: this off shore, so uh and the uh you know,

387
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: even these communities like New Berne and Greenville, UH that

388
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: are north on Pamlico Sound. The combination of the heavy

389
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: rain coming down the river and then the constantist wind

390
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: pushing the sound back in there, all those areas get

391
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: flooded too. So you you know, you cannot you cannot

392
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: possibly overestimate what this could do. In other words, if

393
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: you folks are in there and you're thinking, well, you

394
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna ride this out on ten fifty

395
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: ft above sea level, and I go out go out

396
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: power a couple of days. No, No, well, you're you're

397
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: probably going to go out power a couple of weeks.

398
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a couple of days when the wind

399
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: is incessantly pounding away at you. So it's not like,

400
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: you know, if you want to compare a regular storm

401
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: Isabelle or you Go or Floyd, they moved through very quickly.

402
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: There's three to six hours of you know, the crescendo,

403
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: very strong winds, and then it dies down and the

404
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,479
Speaker 1: sun comes out and that's that. The next day you

405
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: can start cleaning up. That's not going to be the

406
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: case here now. Joe, Inevitably, and we're speaking of Joba Start,

407
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: a chief meteorologist at WeatherBell dot com. Inevitably this happens.

408
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of damage done. We know this.

409
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: Hopefully there'll be no loss of life, but there'll be

410
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: a lot of damage done, and people are going to

411
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: jump right on the oh, it's because of climate change

412
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: and wagon There'll be editorials about it, there'll be people

413
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: going on TV talking about it. What is your you know,

414
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: can't lose argument for folks out there that that that

415
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: they will be able to replicate and repeat about can

416
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: we just stop saying every time there's a really bad

417
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: weather incident or any natural disaster, really these days it's

418
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: climate change? Well why is why has firstance the last

419
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: fifty years, The amount of major hurricanes hitting the eastern

420
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: hit in the United States is only thirty seven percent

421
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: of the amount of major hurricanes that hit in the

422
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: previous fifty years. That's the first thing as far as

423
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: this storm goes. Why where were these people in August third,

424
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: where I quite publicly declared that a three week hurricane

425
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: for it was going to come in in September two,

426
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: said that this was going to come back here when

427
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: it was recurvery. I don't see these people showing up

428
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: way before and giving us any reasons for why this

429
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: is happening. In other words, I said, it up with

430
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: nature and what nature has done in the laws of

431
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: meteorology and physics and climatology. And all they do is

432
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: sit back and wait until something happens. And you know

433
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: what answer don't they own it? Could it could snow

434
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: cheese in New York City and they'll say it's climate change.

435
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: And and unfortunately, you know, you get what you deserve.

436
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: You report yourself if if we're going to have a

437
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: gullible public that won't take the time to actually look

438
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: and understand what has happened in the weather history of

439
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: this country and of the planet, then you know they're

440
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: going to fall for it. And um and these people

441
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: know it. They could care less whether their reason is right. Now,

442
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: not all of them, Okay. I know a lot of

443
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: climate scientists. I know some on the other side of

444
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: the issue, where I respect, I understand their argument. I

445
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: look at their arguments less I see what you're saying.

446
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,959
Speaker 1: But I think you're there's much too much attribution to

447
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: see as opposed to the big name. You start looking

448
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: about some of the journalists that are coming out and

449
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: saying what they're saying, And I mean I was watching

450
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 1: some interviews and listening to some interviews and I literally

451
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: couldn't watch it. And again, folks, uh, look at the past.

452
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: I give the example. Hurricane Gloria was in this area, Okay,

453
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: two weeks later, ten days later at the northeast on September.

454
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: How come Gloria was stronger than this storm, a lot stronger.

455
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: How come this ten or fifteen storms that have been

456
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: stronger than than this storm in the southwest Atlantic. Is

457
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: this going to be the strongest storm ever to hit

458
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: the Carolines? And even if it was the strongest storm,

459
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: what makes you think that nature couldn't do that anyway?

460
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: If it produced something in nineteen fifty, why can't you

461
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: produce something That's a fair point. Joe, Joe, Joe by

462
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: starting everybody, Chief meteorologist at weather bell dot com. Check

463
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: at weather bell dot com for more. Joe, really appreciate

464
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: you joining us team. We've got much more to stay

465
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: with us. This is what life looks like. I guess

466
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: one overheated planet. The important point with all of this

467
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: over is that you know, climate change didn't cause the

468
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: hurricanes or the typhoons, but they made them worse because

469
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: this is a natural disaster, which is a potentially a

470
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: man made catastrophe because of the choices we've maked right

471
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: and in what we're doing is interfering with the way

472
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: the jet stream operates. I mean, the jet stream is

473
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 1: the current of air that actually goes from west to east,

474
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: and that's why flights going west to east take a

475
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: lot less time than going east to west here in

476
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: the States. Normally, that jet stream would push a lot

477
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: of these storms back out into the open ocean. But

478
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: now the jet streams up further north than it was before,

479
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: and that's because the tropical regions are actually expanding. It's

480
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: a man made catastrophe, that's right, man made. It's a hurricane.

481
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: But we made it. No, we didn't, mate, We did

482
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: not make the hurricane is not a mad man made catastrophe. Uh.

483
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: You know, we we had that. Uh we we pulled

484
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: that right in the in the break. Actually, as I

485
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: said producer Mike, there's got to be he said, oh,

486
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: there CNN blaming this on time and change. You know

487
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: there is. It's so easy to find it right away.

488
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: And I know that weather is a tough thing for

489
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: news organizations to handle in some respects. What I mean

490
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: by that is everybody wants to know what's going on

491
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: with the weather. Not a lot of people have intelligent

492
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: things to say about the weather, and so much of

493
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: the seven cable news cycle is speculation, as we've discussed

494
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, and analysis, which is generally just

495
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:33,479
Speaker 1: speculation dressed up as something else. And so they end

496
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 1: up doing this whole climate change dance because they're trying

497
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: to fill time. They're trying to make it compelling. And

498
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: and here's the part of this that I've realized from

499
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: my time in dealing with the the mainstream media such

500
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: as it is. There are some who are true believers

501
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. There there are some who are

502
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: very much dedicated to the notion that climate change is

503
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: a national security threat, is the reason for all of

504
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: this uh. And they don't think that what they're doing

505
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: is just providing these unfalsifiable uh notions of of what

506
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: is going on with climate change, right, I mean when

507
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: they say things like it doesn't cause the storm, but

508
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: it makes the storm worse, how could you ever prove

509
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: that or disprove it? More more importantly, how you know? Remember, folks,

510
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: when some of you have asked me on this show,

511
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: how what what's a good way to argue with a

512
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: really indoctrinated liberal, I say, start from the premise of

513
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: how do you disprove what it is that they believe?

514
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: What would you have to provide them that would make

515
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: them at least rethink what they believe in terms of evidence?

516
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: And with a lot of these things, they will tell

517
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: you they won't actually have an answer, They'll just get angry.

518
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: And because that's what happens when you challenge belief instead

519
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: of challenging rational thought and challenging people based on facts

520
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: and verifiable and form. And so there are some people

521
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: in this media climate change apparatus who are of the

522
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: mind that this is real that, but I think there's

523
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: also just a lot of opportunism here, right. A big

524
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: portion of this is really just people that realize at

525
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: CNN and elsewhere that they have an audience that wants

526
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: to hear the the audience wants to hear about how

527
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: climate change has caused all this. That they want to

528
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: believe that there is a you know, a bad guy here,

529
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: and and really that the bad guy is in fact

530
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: the right. The bad guy is conservatism, the bad guy

531
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: is oil companies, you know, all these. So it's a

532
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: it's a great way to get the left excided because

533
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: they immediately, uh, they immediately get to attack a number

534
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: of targets that they really dislike and and and they're

535
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: the on the righteous high ground here while all the

536
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: people that are saying, a hold on a second, your

537
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: your climate change views are nonsensical, and I really mean

538
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: that that they don't hold up that they can't be

539
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: sustained based upon never mind the facts which is based

540
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: upon an analysis, based upon logic. They get very very angry.

541
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: I remember once I was on and I made some

542
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: joke about how about how you know, maybe if we

543
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: use I was on CNN and I said, maybe if

544
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: we use fewer aerosol cans, you know, and don't put

545
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: a hole in the ozone, then liberals will calm down.

546
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: It was something like that, but it was it was

547
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: it was a joke. I mean, I was taking obviously

548
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: taking a shot at the climate change mania and on

549
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: all the which I know that's about CEO two and

550
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: it's a different process and the ozone, but the point is,

551
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: you know it used to be the hole ne ozone,

552
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: now it's CEO two emissions is. People keep coming up

553
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: with different versions of of of the same basic premise,

554
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: which is that mankind is polluting the world by being mankind.

555
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: Nd uh, and we're destroying the planet and only the

556
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: righteous among us who believe in hashtag science, not science,

557
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: but hashtag science can save it. And remember I got

558
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: some I can't remember if it was via Twitter or

559
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: it was an email that someone who was from some

560
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: climate change think tank in DC wrote this, you know,

561
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: how dare you weigh in on a subject of science

562
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: that like you couldn't even begin to understand. And I

563
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: think I responded the guy, you know, I just checked

564
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: out your bio and you're not a scientist, you're a

565
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: pr flak. So but see this is this is what

566
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: I mean by it doesn't It doesn't matter what the

567
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: situation is, what you say to them, no matter how

568
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: foolish they look. They have such an incentive to push

569
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: this hysteria. There's so many people whose careers depend on

570
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: this and who have really who have built followings based

571
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: on the notion of climate change. And I also note

572
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: that someone like President Obama, I refuse to believe that

573
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: you are really that free thinking and and quite honestly wise,

574
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: I think it is impossible to be intellectually brilliant and

575
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: and also have good judgment and believe in climate change.

576
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: I don't think you can have those two. That you

577
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: can be really, really smart, but you can't be really

578
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: smart and have good judgment. Uh, if you believe in

579
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: climate change as a function of or as something that's

580
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: going to destroy the planet, as something that's going to

581
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: end human life unless we take dramatic action, you know,

582
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: this is where they as good Joel you staying climate

583
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: change is not really it's such a stupid argument. We

584
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: keep running around in circles with it because they're just

585
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: hoping to denigrate the people that are pointing out that

586
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: their ideas don't make any sense here, that there's no

587
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: there there, that there's not any there's not any means

588
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: to disprove their theories, and that they're really impervious to evidence.

589
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: By the way, eighty foot tall wave, I just gotta think, John,

590
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine actually being out of the

591
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: ocean and seeing an eighty foot tall wave? That to me,

592
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: uh wow, it reminds me of the final scene of

593
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: Point Break actually, where body decides that he's going to

594
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: go out on a on a wave by um uh

595
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: by pushing forward and and even though it's a you know,

596
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: a hundred a hundred foot wave or something, he's gonna

597
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 1: go out there and do that. So anyway, it reminds

598
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: me the at a Point Break eight ft wave be terrifying.

599
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,240
Speaker 1: Or also, what's the movie, John, what's the movie where

600
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: the they're out there in the in the boat and

601
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: they just get caught Oh the perfect storm, right, the

602
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: perfect storm. That's yeah, that's pretty straight. I thought that move.

603
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: I mean, there's some cool c g I, but I

604
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: don't know. It's kind of a story without much of

605
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: a plot. It's like they're in a they're in a boat,

606
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: they're in a big storm. Did you like it? I

607
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 1: know it's based on a true story, but I didn't

608
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: find the story all that all that compelling. I thought

609
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: it was as these things go. I thought it was

610
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, it was all right, it was all right.

611
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: What's your favorite? Do you like Twister? I think you

612
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: haven't seen Twister. Twister is pretty good. It's Bill Paxson,

613
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: rested r I p Bill Paxson. By the way, Uh,

614
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: it's Bill Paxxton and Helen Hunt. I was gonna say,

615
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: Laura Dern. I always get those two confused. Twister is

616
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: pretty Twist is pretty good movie. So, and some of

617
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: the problem with the big storm disaster movies is that

618
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: that's always climate change and there's a lot of preachy

619
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: stuff about that, and so I generally don't watch them.

620
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: But anyway, I'll be there. I'll be the one thousand

621
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: person the media to tell you today, get out of

622
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: the way of the storm, folks, be safe, be safe. Yes,

623
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: that is true. You've heard it from me, You've heard

624
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: it from everybody. We're gonna switch topics here in an hour.

625
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: To stay with me. Don't get caught up in the

626
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: purge of conservatives that's going on on some of these

627
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: social media sites. Don't have to worry. Hey, hold on

628
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: a second, am I being shadow band? Your opinion matters,

629
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: Your insight should be shared. You should be able to

630
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 1: find like minded Americans and patriots to talk about whatever

631
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: issues are top of your mind whenever you want, and

632
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: not worry about censorship or agenda. That's why you should

633
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: try a new social media site called Snippy. Snippy dot

Speaker 1: no mistake, American, You're a great American again. This is

647
00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show. Analysts. Buck Sexton. No, don't forget, folks,

648
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: how much the Democrats are in a panic about the

649
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:12,439
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh nomination. They haven't. They haven't let up on this one.

650
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: In fact, they came up today with a a somewhat

651
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: novel approach to trying to pressure UH Senator Collins from

652
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: voting in favor of Kavanaugh. This group has done a

653
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: crowdfunding campaign that will that has raised a million dollars

654
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: and they will donate it to Collins's opponent in Senate

655
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: opponent if she votes in favor of Kavanaugh. Now, I

656
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: would just say, if you think that money determines elections,

657
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: go talk to the Jeb Jeb exclamation, Jeb dr the

658
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: Jeb Bush team about that where I think they spent

659
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: something like a hundred million dollars to it an electoral

660
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: college vote and not not exactly lighten the world on

661
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: fire with their amazing nous there, but this is clearly

662
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: a you know, a new way of trying to put

663
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 1: additional pressure on the senator from Maine to castor vote

664
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: against Kavanaugh. Remember, they only need a couple of defections

665
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 1: and this and this will actually work. You know. Democrats

666
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: have already been trying this tactic of of just delay, delay,

667
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: and and hope for the best. Try to slow that,

668
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: slow down the process, call for an adjournment of the process.

669
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: Say they need more time in the process. I mean

670
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: that they're really doing everything and just just seeing what

671
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: they can get to stick against the wall. Here they

672
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: submitted I just saw this today, dred and seventy eight

673
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 1: questions for the record for Kavanaugh, more than the total

674
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: number this, according to Chuck Grassley, more than the total

675
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: number ever submitted since the Senate started testimony for Scotus Pis.

676
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: Democrats folks have put forward more questions for Cavana than

677
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 1: all the questions combined for all of the previous Supreme

678
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 1: Court nominees that went before the Senate, according to Chuck Rasley.

679
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: And they say it's not enough, they don't have the documents,

680
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: not enough, there needs more study. Whoa um. So as

681
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're in hysterics, they're lying, they don't

682
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: care about what's true. Here. They don't care about what

683
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: um is, what is what is reality when it comes

684
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: to Cavinal, which is that he's an incredibly qualified guy.

685
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: He is as mainstream a geopier as you are going

686
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: to or rather as mainstream a A constitutional conservatives. I'm

687
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: sure he's GOP two. Let's why don't you pretend like

688
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 1: Supreme Court justices don't have politics. It's it's laughable, it's

689
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: a nonsensical idea. But he's a perfect candidate for the court.

690
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: We all know that. You know that, I know that.

691
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: But the opposition to him is truly desperate and depraved.

692
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: And that's why when when you look at the different

693
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: things they're trying. All right, I get it right. They

694
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: don't have they don't have a leg to stand on

695
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: in terms of his resume, they don't have a leg

696
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: to stand on in terms of, you know, what his

697
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: um abilities are. So they're trying to find anything that

698
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: they anything that they can and that's where we got

699
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: this idea that I had to deal with last week

700
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: when we had the Women's march, like co President or

701
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: whatever they whatever they call her, Bob Blandon, who was

702
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: really worried about her. But it's really a hysterical person,

703
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: and not not in the haha funny way, but somebody

704
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: who's worries me about her her stability based on the

705
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: conversation that we had, you know, thinks that things that

706
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh is going to result in millions of women dying.

707
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: That's that's a that's like pink elephants flying around the

708
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: room level crazy. That's not normal. But one of the

709
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: big opposition points to Kavanaugh has been that recently, um,

710
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: they're saying that it's you know that he said that

711
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: abortion inducing drugs are the same as birth control, that

712
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: birth control pills are abortion inducing drugs. And I you know,

713
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: I didn't sit through all three days of the hearings

714
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: or whatever it was was countless hours. I watched a

715
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: lot of it, but not all of it, so I

716
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: couldn't know exactly what he said. But I knew that

717
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: he wouldn't say that, because nobody that I know takes

718
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: that position. People oppose birth control on on religious and

719
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 1: ethical grounds, but they don't say that birth control is abortion.

720
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: That's not true. I don't know anybody who says that

721
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: that preventing conception is the same thing thing from terminating conception,

722
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: which means terminating life. That would be illogical, that that

723
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: doesn't actually make any sense. Um, And you would think

724
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: that this would just be a tactic that the activists

725
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: and the dishonest left would engage in as as a

726
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: as a clear smear tactic. But you know, this is

727
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: not on something that you would have to worry about

728
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: beyond that, meaning that that it wouldn't get to the

729
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: level of oh, well, some of the biggest voices in

730
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party would echo this just blatantly false claim

731
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: that Kavanaugh said that birth control pills are abortion inducing drugs. Uh.

732
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: This claim, by the way, has already been looked at

733
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: by PolitiFact. They well, I know that these these are

734
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: generally not organizations that you can just trust on this

735
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: because they are they are political in their own ways.

736
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: But just to keep in mind political PolitiFact referred to

737
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: the claim that Kavanaugh says that it's abortion and Kamela

738
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 1: hold On, I'll get there, that abortion inducing drugs and

739
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: birth control the same as false. The Washington Post has

740
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: come out and said four pinocchios. I mean, this is

741
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: pants on fire level falsehood. And yet despite all that,

742
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: you have Kamela Harris, who is still thought of I

743
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: think as a pre eminent Democrat for the election, I

744
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: still think people think of her as probably the most

745
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,959
Speaker 1: the most likely presidential Canada, just by default right now.

746
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: And Kamala Harris tweeted out in eleven second clip in

747
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: which Kavanaugh said filling out the form would make them

748
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: complicit in the provision of abortion inducing drugs, that they

749
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: were as a religious matter, objected, objected to um and

750
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: then Kavanaugh. Uh, Kavanaugh chooses his words very carefully, and

751
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: this is a dog whistle for going after birth control.

752
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: Harris tweeted. He was nominated for the purpose of taking

753
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 1: away at women's constitutionally protected right to make her own

754
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 1: health care decisions. Make no mistake, this is about punishing women.

755
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 1: I mean, just just scare mongering and idiocy from Harris.

756
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: But she's not alone. If there's a giant false so

757
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: to be pedaled, if there's a huge lie to be

758
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: foisted upon people, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton can be counted on,

759
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: she writes on her Twitter account today, I want to

760
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: be sure we're all clear about something that Brett Kavanaugh

761
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: said in his confirmation hearings last week. He referred to

762
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: birth control pills as abortion inducing drugs that set off

763
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: a lot of alarm bells for me, and it should

764
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: for you too, folks. Not only did he not refer

765
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: to birth control pills as abortion inducing drugs, he was

766
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 1: referring to the position of a plaintiff in a case.

767
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: So he was saying, this is what their position was,

768
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: and then said it. This would be like saying that,

769
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, you get me to say something, you know,

770
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 1: I I I say the words you know, I'm I'm

771
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: not a Republican, And I say, you know, I'm not

772
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: a Republican. Who would say that about me? Guys, that's crazy.

773
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: But then they just take out well Buck said he's

774
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: not a Republican. Well, yeah, I was making a joke

775
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: where I was referring to the fact that anybody says

776
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 1: that about me doesn't know anything about me. Well, well

777
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 1: you said it, Buck Sexton's as not a Republican. I mean,

778
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: this is the height of dishonesty. This isn't a little lie,

779
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:08,720
Speaker 1: This isn't a little exaggeration. Is a giant lie. Hillary Clinton,

780
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, they are liars, according to the Washington Post,

781
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: according to politic Fact, according to friendly media outlets that

782
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: just know you can't justify this a lie and are

783
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: a really important issue on a Supreme Court justice is

784
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: honor and integrity and should or would be Supreme Court

785
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 1: justice should he be elevated to the bench. And these

786
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: are people that want to lecturists, you know, Harris and

787
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: Clinton about Trump's lies and about how we need to

788
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: bring back honesty and decency and integrity and our politics

789
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: and blah blah all that crap. But they're liars. Do

790
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,320
Speaker 1: you think Jake Tapper is gonna bring them on to

791
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: see an end show and say, Hey, are you a liar?

792
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: Because this is a lie? I don't think so guarantee

793
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: you he won't. Guarantee you he won't. How do I

794
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: know that? Because I know the politics and I know

795
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: who the frauds are. Do you think that matt Ow

796
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: and the MSNB SEC we're gonna have them on and

797
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 1: challenge him on this. Nope, because this lie is useful

798
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: to the left and therefore they're okay with it. I

799
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 1: will go and take Trump out tonight. I have thought

800
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: an awful lot about blowing up the White House. Of course,

801
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: I want to punch him in a place, in a restaurant,

802
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 1: in a department store, at the gasol station and back

803
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: a limb and you tell them that gun please get

804
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: up in the face of some congress people. I just

805
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: don't even know why there aren't uprisings of all of

806
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: the country. Maybe there will be. I've come around the

807
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,399
Speaker 1: table and he's coming at me. So I grabbed him,

808
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 1: threw him on the ground. His shirt got ripped, his

809
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: beer mug busted. I got off of him, and that's

810
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: when he jumped out and pulled the knife out and

811
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: said he's gonna kill me. You know, folks, we get

812
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: a lot of lectures from the left about how they're

813
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 1: violent rhetoric or the violent rhetoric rather of Donald Trump

814
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: and the things that he says and and just the

815
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: way that he talks is going to create violence, and

816
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: that it's going to be on our heads. And you know,

817
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: we should be so concerned about this. We're always being

818
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: told this right that the left is constantly uh pounding

819
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: this theme of violence uh is the fault of Republicans

820
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: because of because of the Donald Trump presidency, that's gonna

821
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: be violence in the streets. Meanwhile, whenever there's actual violence

822
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: to speak of, it seems much more likely than not

823
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 1: that if it's ideologically motivated and has to do with

824
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: American politics. It comes from the left. The single most

825
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: horrific incident of politically inspired violence in this country in

826
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: recent memory involved a Bernie Sanders supporter in Alexandria, Virginia

827
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: showing up to a baseball diamond where there was a

828
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: Congressional baseball team practice going on, and who tried to

829
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: kill a number of members of the Freedom Caucuse. I mean,

830
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 1: he went after the most conservative members of Congress is

831
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: and tried to engage in a mass assassination. And he

832
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: was a Bernie Sander supporter. He was a Democrat, all right.

833
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: And that story just has you never hear it referenced

834
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 1: by the media. It's fallen off the fallen off the

835
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: radar entirely. You know, if it had been a guy

836
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 1: in a maga hat uh and you know, wearing camo

837
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: head to toe and us you know, a Second Amendment

838
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: supporter and he had showed up there and tried to

839
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: kill a bunch of Democrat members of Congress, we'd hear

840
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: about this every week. I mean that there would be

841
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: memorials sprouting up all over the country. You know, there

842
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: there'd be all kinds of stuff, and this is what

843
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: This is what we see with the media bias and

844
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 1: the way that it affects the conversation that's going on

845
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: all the time. But you know, we have another another

846
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 1: incident here where a guy named Farsan Fazel or Fazeli

847
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: is accused of trying to attack a Republican congressional candidate

848
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: named Rudy Peters. You just heard from there with with

849
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: a sound bite with a switchblade all right there there,

850
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: This this guy went after a Republican congressional candidate at

851
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: a festival in Castro Valley, UM and the man approach

852
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: Rudy Peters, according to the l A Times here at

853
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: his booth, made disparaging remarks and then you know, he

854
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: pulled out a switchblade and tried to stab Peters, but

855
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:25,359
Speaker 1: the knife malfunction and a struggle ensued. Folks, this guy

856
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: basically tried to kill a Republican congressional candidate, try to

857
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 1: stab him the death in in you know, broad daylight

858
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 1: and view of other people. How many of you have

859
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: even seen this story? How many of you have heard

860
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: this story on the news. I'm guessing very few of you.

861
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: And you know, this is the game that they always

862
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: planning a lot. I'm not saying it gets no coverage.

863
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 1: I'm saying it gets low coverage, meaning that this is

864
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: not viewed as indicative of anything. This is not viewed

865
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: as a as a case that we all need to

866
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: focus on because it tells us, you know, more about

867
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: the re reality of contemporary American politics or something, right

868
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:06,240
Speaker 1: that this is just, oh, you know, just some crazy guy,

869
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: some crazy guy that tried to stabber up a GOP

870
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 1: Congretil Kennedy death with a knife. We all know this

871
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: guy is a liberal, try to stab him, right, we

872
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: all know that this is yet another case of somebody

873
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: with with the Trumps arrangement syndrome. Who at least that's

874
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: based on the reporting. I've seen what we know. I

875
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise. I don't think you

876
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: knew this guy, you know, he says, and producer Mike,

877
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: what's this other story about a a professor who because

878
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: of Trump? To tell me the backstory? And this one

879
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: because you brought this one to my attention, Yeah, it

880
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: says a long time at College of Southern Nevada socialogy professor,

881
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: professor Um shot himself in the arm in protest of

882
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: President Trump. And now he's facing a felony gun charges.

883
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: He did it, Yeah, he did it on campus. Uh

884
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: then the second day of classes. So as kind of

885
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:01,439
Speaker 1: the way you know that there were there were monks

886
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: during Vietnam we did self immolation to protest. You know,

887
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: this guy is lighting him I mean this guy, he

888
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: should not lighting himself fire. This guy is shooting himself

889
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: in the arm with a shotgun to protest Trump. He's

890
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: a college president who did this, and now he's now

891
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: he's facing prison time for a felony gun charge. Mike,

892
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: if we were trying to find a way to describe

893
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 1: the symptoms of clinical Trump arrangement syndrome, could we do

894
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: a better job than this self harm? Yeah, as a

895
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: form of of Trump opposition, as a form of criticism

896
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 1: of Trump. I think this is about as clear as

897
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: it gets. It's amazing. And and and there's been like

898
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 1: three or four stories in the last twenty four to

899
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: four eight hours of there's another story. Do you hear

900
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: about d C. McAlister? No? Uh, she put out a

901
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 1: tweet the other day about her um views on abortion,

902
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: and she was threatened with rape and strangling and now

903
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:02,280
Speaker 1: she had to go into hiding. That's an example. Another

904
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: example is I think I saw this in either Daily

905
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 1: Mail or Dai wire of a demp sessialist who who

906
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: threatened a mass shooting at a MAGA event. You know,

907
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: I just feel like MIKEA, this will happening. On the

908
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: other side, we'd be here, We'd be hearing a lot

909
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,879
Speaker 1: more about it. You know, I can tell you this much.

910
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: Imagine the outcry if a Democrat congressional candidate had had

911
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: somebody pull out a knife and try to stab them,

912
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: and it was clear that it was a Trump supporter.

913
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: We would not only would we be hearing of that everywhere,

914
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: you would have every White House reporter asking the White

915
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: House do you think that do you think that you're

916
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: the President Trump's rhetoric? You know, Sarah Sanders, you think

917
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: President Trump's rhetoric is the reason for this? You know,

918
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: do you do you denounce violence? I mean, they would

919
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: try to tie it to the administration right away. You're

920
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: seeing none of that with the crazy left wing opposition.

921
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: And that's why we played some of those sound bites

922
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 1: coming in of people saying crazy violent stuff about this administration.

923
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: And they still think that that we're the bad guys.

924
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: You know, they think we're the ones destroying democracy and

925
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: we're the ones who are are promoting violence over politics. Meanwhile,

926
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: if you look at the data and what's really happening,

927
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: it's the deranged left that's that's they're they're the dangerous ones.

928
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean that, I think this that's gonna be anny

929
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: more clear and shoot yourself in the arm to protest Trump.

930
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 1: Can I reach you that? The tweet real quick from

931
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,919
Speaker 1: the anonymous Twitter account about this at this MAGA event. Yeah,

932
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: of course from the Democrats socialist a far left flickle group. Um,

933
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: it says I am coming with a gun and I

934
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 1: expect to get numerous blood stained MAGA hats as trophies.

935
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yes, what a maniac. They have this

936
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: s guy in custody. Ality, well, I don't the police, says.

937
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 1: Police responded to the Trump International Hotel where the event

938
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: was taking place. Um, I didn't see if they had

939
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: anybody in custody yet. All right. I mean, you know,

940
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: Twitter is really bad, by the way about sharing information

941
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: about people that are that are violent threats and stuff. Twitter.

942
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 1: Twitter gets very cage. You know, they'll ban you for

943
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 1: having like too ardent a pro life stance, but they

944
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, if you're threatening to kill somebody and like

945
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: rape their whole family, Twitter to you know, if you're

946
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: a conservative, Twitter doesn't really take take action. I think

947
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: Twitter should have a here here's something. I think Twitter

948
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: should have a policy where if you are are really

949
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: threatening violence against somebody and you know, and you get

950
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: you get warned, you don't stop, they should just out

951
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: the person. They should say this is their IP address.

952
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,399
Speaker 1: That would shut it down. Real fat Twitter can do that.

953
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: They're a private company. They they're under no obligation to

954
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 1: protect the nabor. I think the same the true for

955
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: all these social media companies. They're under no obligation to

956
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: protect the anonymity of somebody that's clearly a menace. You know,

957
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: people who are stalkers, harassers, threatening violence. You know that

958
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: the terrible stuff that you see by the way they tend,

959
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: and a lot of it comes from lat not all. Unfortunately,

960
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,919
Speaker 1: I've had some friends who are you know, who are

961
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: never trumpers, who have also been the targets of some

962
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 1: really horrific stuff, which is which is a shame it

963
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: should never happen. But I think social media companies are

964
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: just out people that are that are a menace. On

965
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 1: social media. You know, if you're if you're gonna if

966
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: you're not gonna put your name to it, but you

967
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: think you're gonna use these things as a weapon to

968
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: go after people. I think they should put a stop

969
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 1: to that. Uh, team, we got much more. Stay with me.

988
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:17,359
Speaker 1: get the discussion rolling Norm McDonald? You guys remember him,

989
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: the comedian. I'll be honestly, I never thought he was

990
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 1: all that funny. Some people love him. I know people

991
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 1: that think that Norm McDonald is a genius. I was

992
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: never much of a fan. But he is not even really,

993
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think people say he's a conservative.

994
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: He is just irreverent. He's a comedian. Oh my gosh,

995
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:39,319
Speaker 1: he's a comedian. He doesn't play to what all the

996
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 1: expectations are of political correctness. Uh. Norm McDonald's gotten into

997
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 1: some trouble folks, and the Tonight Show has canceled him

998
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 1: in response to to his comments. Let me let me

999
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: bring you into this story. Another moment of me to backlash.

1000
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 1: Not that Norm McDonald did any to any lady you. No, no, no,

1001
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: he's not. It's just his comments about me too got

1002
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,839
Speaker 1: him into trouble, right, So he's kind of me too,

1003
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: collateral damage or you know, he's me too secondary damage here.

1004
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: He didn't do anything to any woman. Um. He said,

1005
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: he supports me too. But then he went on to say,

1006
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: according to the Hollywood Reporter, first of all, he said,

1007
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: I'm completely behind them me too movement. Um. But he

1008
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: had said that comments earlier on about uh, Roseanne Bar

1009
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: and Louis c K. That's what got him in trouble.

1010
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 1: He said, essentially, you know, Roseanne Barr was crying constantly

1011
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: after what happened to her, and her life was ruined.

1012
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: And Louis c K, you know, he was shunned from

1013
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: the public square, and you know he was ruined. And

1014
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 1: he said something like quote, the victims didn't have to

1015
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: go through that now in the in the Roseanne bar situation,

1016
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the victor dooms are just people that have

1017
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: heard a racist comment. I have to say, I don't

1018
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: know if Roseanne is in fact so out of it

1019
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: that she would have said what she said, not realizing

1020
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: that Valerie Jarrett was African American. That was later on

1021
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: her her um not excuse, but her at least mitigation,

1022
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: She said she wasn't that she wasn't making a racist

1023
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: slur about Valerie Jarrett because she didn't know Valeri Jarret

1024
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: was African American. Is Roseanne bar obtuse enough to really

1025
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: for that to be true? I mean maybe, But nonetheless

1026
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: it was something that was a very it was a

1027
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 1: very very stupid thing to say. Um, but Norm McDonald

1028
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,959
Speaker 1: essentially said, look, I'm all about me too, but people

1029
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: need to understand the uh, the reality here of what

1030
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: happens to people who get caught in some of this.

1031
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 1: And Roseanne is not a me too thing, by the way,

1032
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what she's kind of getting. It's really

1033
00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 1: just political correctness. I mean, me too shouldn't be used

1034
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: as a as a cudgel beyond the realm of men

1035
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: who are sexually harassing women, right, me too shouldn't just

1036
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: be anything. But it's it's going it is becoming that,

1037
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, now, any political correctness, any marginalized group that

1038
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: feels like they've you know, they've been in some ways

1039
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: undermined or you know, treated poorly by public comments, they

1040
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: claim that the me too mental as well, because this

1041
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: is for brand purposes, for advertisers and sponsors. All this

1042
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: me too stuff is very powerful. But so Norm McDonald says, hey,

1043
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 1: you know, Lucy kay and Roseanne, you know, just you know,

1044
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 1: they didn't kill anybody, and their lives were ruined over

1045
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 1: this stuff. Uh. And Norm McDonald got the hammer dropped

1046
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 1: on him as a result of this. He got pushed

1047
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: out of his very publicly from his Tonight Show appearance.

1048
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 1: And he's got a new series coming out on Netflix.

1049
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: So he was trying to um, you know, he he

1050
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: was trying to promote that. That's why I was going

1051
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: to go on it. And you know, this is just

1052
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: another example, your folks, of how you've got to be

1053
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: so careful. Here's a comedian who's trying to have a

1054
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 1: somewhat nuanced conversation about, you know, the impact of this

1055
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: movement and what it means and and really what it

1056
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 1: just means is we're in a period of heightened of

1057
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 1: heightened sensitivity to something which we all know will be

1058
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 1: exploited by some people in some ways. One of the

1059
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: most interesting, one of the most reviewing exchanges I had

1060
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: with Alissa Milano, who is kind of the me Too

1061
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: movement founder or as a founder, considered a founder of

1062
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 1: the me too movement, even though she's never shared her

1063
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:44,439
Speaker 1: own story about her her me too uh you know backstory, Well,

1064
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: she brought up a Z's on Sorry. Some of you

1065
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: know as he's on Sorry from the show Parks and Wreck. Right.

1066
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: He's a funny guy. He's a you know, American but

1067
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:57,439
Speaker 1: of Indian parentage. And you know, he had some young

1068
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 1: woman who's a photographer who you know clearly had some

1069
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 1: kind of celebrity crush on him based on the story

1070
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: that I read, and they went out on a date,

1071
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 1: and you know, they just jumped right into, right into

1072
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: a highly sexualized encounter. And she essentially wrote a you

1073
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: he's icky and I don't like him, and he was

1074
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: being kind of gross. Uh tell all about this what

1075
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: was essentially a one night stand. And people were saying, well,

1076
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: that's me too. And I was sitting here and I'm saying, well, no,

1077
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: it's not you know, maybe he's kind of being a

1078
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 1: creepy guy, but it wasn't me too. He didn't force her,

1079
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: he didn't abuse her, he didn't use his position of power.

1080
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: But a LISTA and A Lissa Milano's view apparently, oh no,

1081
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 1: because he's a celebrity and leverage that to gain greater

1082
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: you know, sexual access by her with her consent. But

1083
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:50,960
Speaker 1: to this this young woman, you know, that's kind of

1084
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 1: meat I don't know whoa that's I don't think of

1085
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 1: that as me to it all. So there are these

1086
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: these areas of it where it crosses into hold on

1087
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: a second, is that that's now covered? You know, is

1088
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: an unwanted attempt at at kissing a woman, uh in

1089
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: the workplace or not in the workplace. I mean, it's

1090
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: assuming she doesn't work for you, she's not your employee.

1091
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: But you know, if you have a colleague, that's a

1092
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: me tooth thing. Now. I mean you start to wonder

1093
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: where are some of these lines? Uh? And I think

1094
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: we do draw them in very different places. But Norm

1095
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 1: McDonald was trying to have that conversation and he got

1096
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: into all He got in all kinds of trouble because

1097
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 1: of it, because people don't they don't want to hear it.

1098
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 1: They don't want to hear that there's any any concern here.

1099
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 1: They don't want to hear about um. How you know,

1100
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 1: maybe there's some people that are going to abuse this

1101
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: for their own purposes. You better stay, you better just

1102
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 1: uh better be somebody who tows the line on this,

1103
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: or else you're gonna be in a world of trouble. Um.

1104
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to find there was one quote He's

1105
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 1: essentially repeating what I've said many times before to all

1106
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 1: of you, and I'm trying. It's I'm losing darn Itt buck.

1107
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: Oh here it is, here, it is. I found it. Um.

1108
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: He said that, Uh, the the model used to be

1109
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 1: here we go. The model used to be admit wrongdoing,

1110
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: show complete contrition, and then we give you a second chance.

1111
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 1: Now it's admit wrongdoing and you're finished. And so the

1112
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: only way to survive is to deny, deny, deny. That's

1113
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 1: not healthy, that there is no forgiveness. And I do

1114
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: think at some point that it adds to our uh

1115
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 1: tribal ism um or this contributes to why every and

1116
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: so tribalistic. Absolutely true from Norm McDonald, the verious dute observation.

1117
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: This is the real change, folks. This is what's so

1118
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: different now is that you have a situation where you know,

1119
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: any time you get caught up, now, any time you

1120
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: have transgressed, he if you admit it, there's no upside.

1121
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: You're just going to be chased out of the public square.

1122
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna be told that your your career is over.

1123
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 1: You are no longer entitled to any kind of uh

1124
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 1: second chance or opportunity to rebuild your career. Oh no,

1125
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen is they're going to use your confession.

1126
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 1: It's like it's like an inquisition, right, They're gonna use

1127
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: your confession against you. And that is new. That is no.

1128
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: I remember, I'm trying to think of some examples where

1129
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 1: you you know, I remember Alec Baldwin back in the

1130
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 1: day saying, uh, kind of an anti gay slur. And

1131
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 1: I remember the Jonah Hill, the kind of pudgy comedy

1132
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 1: actor guy. He he did the same. And you see

1133
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 1: people and they'd make this apology tour and they kind

1134
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 1: of go around on all the shows they go on,

1135
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, the daytime talk shows, they go on Ellen

1136
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 1: and go on Oprah, they go and you know, oh,

1137
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry and that's not who I am. And

1138
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 1: they kind of lay low for a few weeks and

1139
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 1: then everybody would let it go. And I feel thought

1140
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: that that that process of just the public humiliation, uh,

1141
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 1: that jets you have to go through as part of

1142
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 1: the penance for a politically correct trans transgression. Right, I'm

1143
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 1: talking to people that have actually assaulted people, are in

1144
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: done criminal stuff. I mean, you just say the wrong thing,

1145
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 1: and you gotta go out there and do the whole

1146
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 1: apology to our situation. You know, I thought that was

1147
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 1: bad enough. Now it's worse than that, because you're supposed

1148
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: to do the apology tour and then at the and

1149
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 1: then you're you're you're still completely out. You know, you're

1150
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: you're no longer somebody that anybody can talk to or

1151
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 1: give jobs to, or trust or anything. So so Norm

1152
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 1: McDonald is is the latest to uh, to get caught

1153
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 1: up in this one. Sure enough. He's here's a comedian, folks,

1154
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 1: who's supposed to be pushing boundaries and and uh, he's

1155
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be trying to not just make us laugh

1156
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 1: and make us think about things. I mean, comedy is

1157
01:05:56,400 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 1: a very powerful for satire. He's in incredibly potent way

1158
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,640
Speaker 1: of of dealing with political issues, dealing with social issues,

1159
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 1: and a really really necessary one, you know. I mean,

1160
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 1: I think to really be in a free society, you

1161
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 1: have to be able to make fun of things that

1162
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 1: are considered sacred. I do think that's a pretty fundamental

1163
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 1: freedom and and for and he wasn't even trying to

1164
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 1: make fun of anything. He was just trying to talk

1165
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 1: about the culture here here's a comedian talking about the

1166
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 1: culture of intolerance for people saying anything intolerant, and he

1167
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: gets nailed for saying something intolerant. I mean, you can't

1168
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: make this stuff up. He's just you know, he's just

1169
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 1: trying to, uh, trying to add to the discourse in

1170
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: his own way, and he ends up paying paying the

1171
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: penalty for it. And I just think it's a shame.

1172
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, this is why, this is why

1173
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 1: comedians these days, by the way, aren't funny. You can't

1174
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: be funny. You gotta be Kathy Griffin. You've got to

1175
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 1: do this terrible thing. She this terrible stunt. She polled by,

1176
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 1: you know, having the the Trump's evered head and then

1177
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 1: cashing in on that and going around and giving a

1178
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 1: tour all over the world where she's just not funny.

1179
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 1: She's like a neurotic, annoying, stupid, crazy person who says

1180
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 1: things about politics that are kind of in joke form,

1181
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 1: but they're not funny. It's not clever, it's not amusing.

1182
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: And you see this with so many communities and why

1183
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying the left is killed comedy. The left has

1184
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 1: made comedy, uh at least an endangered species if not extinct,

1185
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 1: because if you are always gonna be under threat of

1186
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 1: having your career ended, if you if you say anything

1187
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 1: that that offends certain groups, you know, you're you're you're

1188
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 1: never gonna be able to push any boundaries and do

1189
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: things that are unexpected and that really make people think.

1190
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 1: So it's just it's just a shame, it really is.

1191
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 1: By the way, the I see this other guy, another

1192
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: guy got caught up in the me too. Uh producer

1193
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: Mike what's his name? The sixty minutes guy? Do you

1194
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 1: know talking about all right, a senior a senior executive

1195
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 1: at at sixty minutes, the hallowed News, Uh, you know

1196
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 1: journalism show. Well, we'll talk about this in just a moment.

1197
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 1: But but he's out now, folks, I was talking to

1198
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 1: you about somebody who got caught up in a in

1199
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 1: a me too discussion moment, right, didn't actually do to

1200
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 1: me too, but you had Norm McDonald. I was being

1201
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: a little hard on before he's done some funny stuff.

1202
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:28,680
Speaker 1: I guess I've never seen his stand up, to be fair,

1203
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 1: I just have seen him on on SNL. And but

1204
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 1: but Norm McDonald talking about Roseanne and uh and Louis

1205
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: c K. You know, he got himself into trouble. But

1206
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:40,640
Speaker 1: that doesn't you know, that that shouldn't take away with

1207
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 1: the fact that this whole, this period of of outing

1208
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 1: these really gross, predatory uh media executives, has been very clarifying.

1209
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's a lot of a lot

1210
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 1: of good that's come from all this, you know. I

1211
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:58,800
Speaker 1: think it's a very good thing that people know the

1212
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 1: truth about Charlie Rose, people know the truth about um,

1213
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: you know, go go down, go down. The list of

1214
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 1: all these different People'm actually forgetting the name of the

1215
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:10,599
Speaker 1: guy who's the super overpaid more you know, UH Today's

1216
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: show guy, Uh, Matt Lower, you know, Matt Lower and

1217
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: and Charlie Rose and and certainly some of them cross

1218
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 1: over into the truly criminal area with people like Harvey Weinstein.

1219
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:25,719
Speaker 1: But another one is out at at sixty minutes CBS

1220
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 1: sixty minutes. His name is Jeff Fager, and this I

1221
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 1: just thought this was pretty fascinating. So there were all

1222
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 1: these allegations printed about Fager, and again he's a very

1223
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,679
Speaker 1: powerful news executive, and the news business folks is so

1224
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: ripe for this kind of abuse. I see it all

1225
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:47,679
Speaker 1: the time. You have old, generally unattractive socially awkward men

1226
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 1: in positions of executive authority. Alright, a lot of that

1227
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 1: going on, and you have an influx of lots and

1228
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:58,640
Speaker 1: lots of very attractive women, because in this business that

1229
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 1: is a major advantage, right, I know, I don't know

1230
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 1: if it feels weird to even say that, Oh, to

1231
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:05,520
Speaker 1: be pretty and to be on TV, it's it's an advantage,

1232
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 1: but it's true. And and a lot of these guys

1233
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:14,440
Speaker 1: try to leverage their positions into you know, into ah entree.

1234
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 1: It's a very euphemistic way of saying it, with these women, right,

1235
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: of getting access to these women, you know, sexually in

1236
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 1: one way or another. Uh. And this guy Fager, what

1237
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 1: was the subject of one of these one of these

1238
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 1: profiles in the I think it was in the New Yorker, right, Um,

1239
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 1: And the part of this guy was the executive producer, Wow,

1240
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: executive producer of sixty minutes. Um. That's a that's a

1241
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 1: that's a pretty big job. So he's out now. And

1242
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 1: and this is what he said, though this is his

1243
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 1: statement quote. The company's decision had nothing to do with

1244
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 1: the false allegations printed in the New Yorker. Instead, they

1245
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: terminated my contract early because I sent a text message

1246
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 1: to one of her own CBS reporters demanding that she

1247
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 1: be fair are in covering the story. My language was harsh,

1248
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 1: and despite the fact that journalists received harsh demands for

1249
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 1: fairness all the time, CBS did not like it. One

1250
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:14,839
Speaker 1: such note should not result in termination after thirty six years,

1251
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 1: but it did. Wow, this guy was there for thirty

1252
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 1: six This guy's been at CBS as long as I've

1253
01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:23,360
Speaker 1: been alive. That is that is quite Ah. I can't

1254
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:26,760
Speaker 1: imagine being thirty six years anywhere. I can't imagine being

1255
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,040
Speaker 1: alive thirty six years. It still feels like forever to me.

1256
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 1: But here we are with this guy saying that essentially

1257
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 1: he sent a nasty text message and that was why

1258
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:36,840
Speaker 1: he was fired. Folks, I just don't find this this

1259
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:40,160
Speaker 1: credible at all. Uh. My guess is that this was

1260
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: the pretext that they you know, that that this text

1261
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 1: message was enough to not renew his contract and push

1262
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 1: him out now because that's easier for them than to

1263
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,440
Speaker 1: have to go through the whole Oh you know, is

1264
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 1: is he guilty of these different accusations? And I see

1265
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 1: some journalists, uh, this one journalist from New York magazine wrote,

1266
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 1: quote a victory the women who have lived under Fager's

1267
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 1: tyranny for years. A truly horrible, nasty human being. That's yes,

1268
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 1: shar Ali at New York Magazine. Uh. You know these

1269
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 1: So you've got Jeff Fager, um, uh what's his what

1270
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:20,400
Speaker 1: the guy from uh gosh, I'm Les Moonvez another one.

1271
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:25,200

01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:40,840
Speaker 1: These are all big libs in the media. You need

1276
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:44,840
Speaker 1: to remember that because they won't focus on it. Fager, uh,

1277

01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: know they when when Fox was having its trouble with

1280
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 1: some of its own sexual misconduct that had gone on there,

1281
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:05,680
Speaker 1: all these outlets just piled on and and now you're

1282
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 1: seeing that that that the very top of these places

1283
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 1: is just rotted with sexual harassers and predators. So it's

1284
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 1: interesting to see how this plays out, will continue play out.

Speaker 1: We know that the deep statards over d o J

1309
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 1: and FBI have been busy for a long time trying

1310
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 1: to stack the deck in their favor in terms of

1311
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 1: public opinion when it comes to Russia collusion stuff, when

1312
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 1: it comes to the fises on Carter Page. We've got

1313
01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,680
Speaker 1: somebody now who's doing the work of actually getting to

Speaker 1: the ruth on all this stuff. We have Lee Smith

Speaker 1: to have you back. Thanks very much for having me, Buck.

1320
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:21,080
Speaker 1: It's always trific to do with you. All right, So

1321
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 1: let's talk about this, my friend. We we got we

1322
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 1: got leaks coming out the text messages earlier in this

1323
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 1: week between Struck and Page talk about a leak strategy.

1324
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:32,280
Speaker 1: I got people saying, oh no, it's a leak strategy

1325
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:35,719
Speaker 1: for how to deal with the bad, naughty media leaks.

1326
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I was in the CIA. We we

1327
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:40,920
Speaker 1: had a pretty well understood league strategy, which is don't leak.

1328
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:45,720
Speaker 1: So that's my first reaction, But you've actually dug into

1329
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:47,639
Speaker 1: the details here. What do we need to know about

1330
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 1: what these FBI, d o J folks were doing, how

1331
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:53,600
Speaker 1: they were leaking, who they were leaking to. Yeah, the

1332
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:55,879
Speaker 1: way that I'm the way that I'm trying to describe

1333
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:58,600
Speaker 1: it now, that's kind of sort of like a you

1334
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 1: can best understand it in terms of a football game

1335
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:03,640
Speaker 1: now the new football season opening up. Maybe that's the

1336
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 1: best way to understand it. I think that after UM,

1337
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 1: after Trump won the White House, what we see is

1338
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 1: a very active campaign of leaks, an attacking campaign of leaks,

1339
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 1: UM prosecuting a campaign against Trump that are trying to

1340
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 1: hurt different Trump team officials. They knock Flynn out, the

1341
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 1: sideline sessions, they damage other people. The larger strategic gain

1342
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:33,400
Speaker 1: is that they have the the Trump team in chaos

1343
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 1: trying to establish their agenda. They can't because they're always

1344
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:41,520
Speaker 1: They're playing defense the entire time, defending against these accusations

1345
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 1: of Russia collusion and all this nonsense. At a certain point,

1346
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:50,720
Speaker 1: about a year into the administration, UM House oversight committees

1347
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 1: start pushing back and that way the team Collusion is

1348
01:16:56,479 --> 01:16:58,719
Speaker 1: put on the defensive. So what we're seeing now also,

1349
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 1: you know a lot of a lot of Obama holdovers

1350
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:06,640
Speaker 1: and never Trump Republicans leave start to leave the administration.

1351
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 1: Remember all the different people who've left FBI and d

1352
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:13,719
Speaker 1: o J. So there are actually less people, less people

1353
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:18,759
Speaker 1: who have access to classify intelligence to leak. And also

1354
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:21,920
Speaker 1: again the House Oversight committees are now pushing back. They're

1355
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 1: seeing the bad things that the FBI and d o

1356
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 1: J and other figures did to damage and dirty the

1357
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 1: Trump campaign. So that's how I see the momentum changing.

1358
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 1: And the really the really big moment is when the

1359
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:41,880
Speaker 1: House Oversight House Oversight Committees discover that it was their

1360
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 1: pressure they pressured um, they pressured Fusion into releasing the

1361
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:50,559
Speaker 1: fact that or leaking the fact that they had been

1362
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 1: funded by the Clinton campaign and d n C. And

1363
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:57,719
Speaker 1: that's in October two seventeen. So that's a key turning

1364
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:03,160
Speaker 1: point right there. Now out they're saying, of course that

1365
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:05,680
Speaker 1: that everything was by the book. I mean, I'm kind

1366
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: of amazingly that this that this this approach continues from

1367
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,000
Speaker 1: from people that are supportive as we know, this is

1368
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 1: all about getting Trump right. I mean, the people that

1369
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:17,799
Speaker 1: are generally very anti law enforcement, all of a sudden

1370
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 1: are running around and acting like, you know, the FBI

1371
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 1: can do no wrong and the d o the d

1372
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 1: o J, which you know under Republican administration is all

1373
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 1: about the patriarchy, the power structure and discrimination. Now the

1374
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 1: d o J is blameless that the d o J

1375
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 1: is beyond reproach. We know it's all about politics, But

1376
01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:40,839
Speaker 1: you know, what's it gonna take before they no longer

1377
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 1: are able to play this game of yeah you know everything.

1378
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Struck got fired. We have text messages between

1379
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 1: between him and Page saying one they're gonna stop Trump

1380
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 1: to uh from this week, saying that they need a

1381
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 1: leak strategy. You know, is do you see a smoking

1382
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 1: gun that is kind of out there? You just haven't

1383
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 1: gotten it yet. I mean, is what's it going to

1384
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:03,080
Speaker 1: take this? I mean, I think that one of the

1385
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:06,080
Speaker 1: things we're looking at right now. I mentioned my article

1386
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 1: a couple of these recent pieces in the New York

1387
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:14,760
Speaker 1: Times about FBI and CIA operations against against Russia. Both

1388
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: pieces I find pretty implausible. But the important thing about

1389
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 1: these I think these stories were crafted partly using classified

1390
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 1: intelligence also depending an awful lot on fiction, uh, a

1391
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:33,479
Speaker 1: creative imagination. Um. And the purpose of these is to

1392
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 1: push back to try to deter Trump from de classifying

1393
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:41,719
Speaker 1: the documents that congressional Republicans are asking for right now,

1394
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 1: and should Trump the classify those documents, as I believe,

1395
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 1: we all hope he did. We all hope that he

1396
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 1: does for the I'm hearing as soon as next week

1397
01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 1: for my people, by the way, So yeah, that that

1398
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:55,920
Speaker 1: would be that that, Thank goodness. I hope it does

1399
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:58,920
Speaker 1: happen then. Um, But that's what I think they're trying

1400
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:00,960
Speaker 1: to do. I think they're trying to push back on that,

1401
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:05,080
Speaker 1: and they're trying to shave a more positive environment, um

1402
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 1: with these different leagues and these different stories coming out now.

1403
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:11,000
Speaker 1: So we if that does happen next week, but that

1404
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:13,720
Speaker 1: would be fantastic. I think then we're We've gone a

1405
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:16,759
Speaker 1: long way towards clarifying a lot of the bad stuff

1406
01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: that's gone on the last two years here. Now. I

1407
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,680
Speaker 1: gotta say, there have been leaks that we know of

1408
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 1: in the press that almost certainly come from classified information.

1409
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 1: Right you had the leak about General Flynn's phone call.

1410
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:33,840
Speaker 1: You know, nobody could that that's gonna be classified. I mean,

1411
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 1: and he got in trouble for it. So we know

1412
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:39,680
Speaker 1: that was classified. Somebody leaked at and and Flynn got

1413
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:42,880
Speaker 1: jammed up as a result of it. We have not

1414
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:46,320
Speaker 1: seen and I think it's so interesting. Under the Obama administration,

1415
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 1: classified leaks were I would say over zealously prosecuted. I

1416
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,240
Speaker 1: mean they they were. They were doing everything. They were

1417
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 1: pulling phone records of journalists, they were threatening to put

1418
01:20:57,160 --> 01:21:01,000
Speaker 1: journalists under oath throughout sources. In fact, they they did

1419
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:03,040
Speaker 1: do well, they took that right to the edge and

1420
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:05,400
Speaker 1: then they've done it out of prison anyway. Uh. But

1421
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 1: all that was going on. Meanwhile, Lee, we have nobody

1422
01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 1: getting sent to prison that I know of right now

1423
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:16,080
Speaker 1: for a classified leak, with the exception of one senates

1424
01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:19,400
Speaker 1: uh Senate to Select Committee on Intelligence staffer who's been charged.

1425
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:22,760
Speaker 1: But that's it. Well, but they haven't even charged him

1426
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 1: for leaking classified intelligence though it appears he did. They

1427
01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:29,400
Speaker 1: have him for lying to the FBI. So while Attorney

1428
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 1: General's Session says that they're twenty seven open leak investigations,

1429
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:36,320
Speaker 1: including what I've heard people call the Granddaddy of the

1430
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:39,599
Speaker 1: mall is as you said, the leak of the Flynn

1431
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 1: conversation with the Russian ambassador. Um, as far as I know,

1432
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:47,240
Speaker 1: look A the d o J maybe investigating all of them,

1433
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:52,160
Speaker 1: or um John Huber, the you know, the prosecutor and

1434
01:21:52,280 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 1: UTAH maybe investigating them. But I think that we'd like

1435
01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 1: to see something happening about these And what we see

1436
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 1: here is these are it's not just leaking classified intelligence

1437
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 1: is a very serious thing. And you can describe better

1438
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 1: than certainly much better than I can, that this is

1439
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:10,599
Speaker 1: a this is a crime, and we see these These

1440
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: are not whistleblowers, right, These are not people who are

1441
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 1: calling out bad things. These are people who are leaking

1442
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 1: to prosecute a political campaign against the elected president. That

1443
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:23,840
Speaker 1: that that I think the combination of breaking the law

1444
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:27,640
Speaker 1: and for what purpose to prosecute a campaign of political warfare,

1445
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 1: I think it's very bad and I entirely agree. I

1446
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:31,640
Speaker 1: think we need to get to the bottom of this

1447
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 1: and the people who have been breaking the law need

1448
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 1: to be cast. Where are you heading next with your

1449
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 1: with your reporting? Nearly what what's the what I mean?

1450
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:43,320
Speaker 1: I know you're investigative reporters who probably can't really tell

1451
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:45,240
Speaker 1: us all that much but what are you still trying

1452
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:49,519
Speaker 1: to get answers to? UM? I think that the UH.

1453
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:52,559
Speaker 1: I think that what we're learning more and more about

1454
01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:57,920
Speaker 1: about the oars is especially is especially interesting. UM. I

1455
01:22:58,000 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 1: think that the more and more we know about that,

1456
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:02,600
Speaker 1: I think we might be getting closer and closer to

1457
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 1: the the kernel of what actually what actually happened here,

1458
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 1: how this whole relationship went on between Fijian GPS, the press, UH,

1459
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:16,679
Speaker 1: the FBI, and d o J. So I think that's

1460
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 1: a very important thing for for for all of us

1461
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:21,600
Speaker 1: to be looking at and see how that. Do you

1462
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 1: have a working theory, by the way, as to what

1463
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 1: really how did this whole thing start? There's there's notion

1464
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:32,400
Speaker 1: of Trump and Russia and and you know Trump associates

1465
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:35,880
Speaker 1: that need to be surveiled because they've changed the story.

1466
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:37,599
Speaker 1: I know they said they haven't they have they you know,

1467
01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:39,800
Speaker 1: it was Carter Page and it was Papadopolis and now

1468
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 1: it was before both of them, and then it was

1469
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:44,160
Speaker 1: after both them, and who knows what what's your working

1470
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:46,720
Speaker 1: theory is to how this actually got going? That's a

1471
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:49,760
Speaker 1: very that's a very good question. I mean, I try

1472
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 1: to respond to what we you know, what we can

1473
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:55,360
Speaker 1: find out. I'll say one thing which has struck me

1474
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:58,000
Speaker 1: for quite a while, and you and I may have

1475
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:02,000
Speaker 1: spoken about this before. I continue to find it remarkable

1476
01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 1: that they had an open counter intelligence investigation open on

1477
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 1: Michael Flynn, a retired three star general who was also

1478
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:13,800
Speaker 1: former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency. So that that

1479
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:16,240
Speaker 1: tells me two things. That tells me. First of all,

1480
01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 1: this was a real third world operation. The idea that

1481
01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:23,839
Speaker 1: they had a counter intelligence investigation open on a former

1482
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 1: spy cheek. I think that's bad enough in itself. But

1483
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 1: also this, I mean it appears that this goes back

1484
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 1: that this that this goes back quite a while. I mean,

1485
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:37,599
Speaker 1: this was they started looking at They started looking at

1486
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: Flynn after the you know, after his dinner with Putin

1487
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 1: Um I guess that was December two thousand and fifteen.

1488
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:49,720
Speaker 1: So again, I I don't want to speculate too much,

1489
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:51,679
Speaker 1: but I think if we look at all the different

1490
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:53,759
Speaker 1: people who have been named here, what it was, Carter

1491
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 1: Page or Paul Manafort, I I find the fact that

1492
01:24:57,240 --> 01:25:00,559
Speaker 1: Michael Flynn was someone that the FBI will I was

1493
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:03,200
Speaker 1: looking at. I find that astonishing and I find it

1494
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 1: very significant. And also I find it important when trying

1495
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:08,400
Speaker 1: to explain to people have this whole Rusty Gate thing

1496
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 1: as a hoax, asked them to explain, how do you

1497
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:16,080
Speaker 1: possibly rationalize they had a counter intelligence investigation open on

1498
01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:20,960
Speaker 1: Michael Flynn, retired three star general, who is still you know,

1499
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 1: never been the only crime that he's ever even been

1500
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:27,120
Speaker 1: whispered about being involved in was lying about not committing

1501
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:30,559
Speaker 1: any crimes, so you know which which as we know,

1502
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:32,599
Speaker 1: they can do to anybody. But but at least stay

1503
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 1: on it man. Next time you got another big, big

1504
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:36,799
Speaker 1: piece out, we'd love to have you on Lee Smith

1505
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:40,559
Speaker 1: everybody Real Clear Investigations and you can follow him on

1506
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 1: Twitter as well. Lee, thanks for joining us. Thanks for

1507
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:45,920
Speaker 1: having me book. I really appreciate it. Team. We've got more.

1508
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 1: I want to tell you about what's going on at

1509
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:52,639
Speaker 1: a school that embraced social justice a little too much.

1510
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:56,600
Speaker 1: An update on Evergreen State College. Remember that school that

1511
01:25:56,640 --> 01:26:00,679
Speaker 1: had the day of absence for white people. It turns

1512
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 1: out that that wasn't exactly well. It didn't have the

1513
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:06,599
Speaker 1: intended effect for how the rest of the country views

1514

01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:27,800

Speaker 1: take you off your home's title, replace you with an alias.

1535
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 1: Evergreen State College in a moment here. But but first,

1536
01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:16,560
Speaker 1: there's a there's a new iPhone out. Producer Mike is

1537
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:18,360
Speaker 1: telling me, you know, I just I just got one,

1538
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:20,200
Speaker 1: by the way, which means that there has to be

1539
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:22,840
Speaker 1: a new one that comes out. Because I'm always behind

1540
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:25,000
Speaker 1: the times on this stuff. I always get it wrong.

1541
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 1: Mike is is is the new Are you one of

1542
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:29,920
Speaker 1: these people that camps out on the street for the iPhones? Like?

1543
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:35,000
Speaker 1: Do you get that excited about this stuff? What is

1544
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:37,840
Speaker 1: that all about? I don't understand that. I don't know.

1545
01:27:38,120 --> 01:27:40,800
Speaker 1: I sometimes I look at him, I'm like, you must

1546
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 1: not have a job. But then I'm like, you must

1547
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:44,599
Speaker 1: have a job because you're spending money on an iPhone.

1548
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 1: So I don't know. It baffles me. It baffles me too, man.

1549
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:50,000
Speaker 1: But the new one coming out, isn't it kind of

1550
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 1: the It's like an iPhone ten, but it's a cheaper

1551
01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:55,040
Speaker 1: iPhone ten, but it's a better I I don't know,

1552
01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:56,960
Speaker 1: there's a two different things. Well, they dropped three new

1553
01:27:57,040 --> 01:28:00,000
Speaker 1: iPhones today, the XR, the x S and the xs

1554
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 1: S max pricing structure. I mean them, they're all no expensive,

1555
01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 1: but they did they raised the prices on some of

1556
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:09,160
Speaker 1: their old iPhones, but then dropped the prices on others,

1557
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:11,639
Speaker 1: so I don't I don't know exactly which ones are which,

1558
01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 1: but the ones that they released today apparently have the

1559
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:17,160
Speaker 1: it's the largest screen to date, like the x S

1560
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:19,880
Speaker 1: has the is the largest screen size to date. Um,

1561
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:23,400
Speaker 1: but the phone is the same size as their old

1562
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:27,600
Speaker 1: um you know, six s pluses nice another device for

1563
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:29,519
Speaker 1: us all to pretend we're doing work on when we're

1564
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:33,040
Speaker 1: really just scrolling through social media. There we get exactly so.

1565
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: So guys, that Evergreen State College, that's the place where

1566
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:39,920
Speaker 1: they had the the day of I don't know, I

1567
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:41,840
Speaker 1: don't know how any remember this. This was a while ago.

1568
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:43,360
Speaker 1: It's got a lot of attention because it was just

1569
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:46,559
Speaker 1: so crazy. They had a day of absence where they

1570
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:50,800
Speaker 1: wanted white people to just not go to school. It was, hey, hey,

1571
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:53,479
Speaker 1: white people stay home today. We need to have a

1572
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:57,519
Speaker 1: day without you. And what's What's one of the things

1573
01:28:57,560 --> 01:29:00,360
Speaker 1: it's really astonishing about that I was back in teen

1574
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 1: was how many people went along with it. They're like, yeah, sure, no,

1575
01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:07,000
Speaker 1: no white people allowed today. Sure, I'm just not gonna

1576
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:10,000
Speaker 1: go to school. But there was one professor who has

1577
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:13,760
Speaker 1: now become part of the I think he's considered one

1578
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 1: of these dark web intellectuals are not dark web, but

1579
01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:18,920
Speaker 1: is it, uh, the intellectual dark web. I think that's

1580
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:20,760
Speaker 1: what they call it. Yeah, And he's one of these

1581
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:22,799
Speaker 1: guys out there. He's up there with like Jordan Peterson

1582
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:26,559
Speaker 1: and some of the others who they're considered revolutionaries because

1583
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:28,439
Speaker 1: they have thoughts about things that you're not allowed to

1584
01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:31,360
Speaker 1: have thoughts about that. That's that's the way we're going now,

1585
01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:35,680
Speaker 1: especially on college campuses as you know. But at Evergreen,

1586
01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:39,400
Speaker 1: Brett Eric Weinstein I think was his was his name, right,

1587
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:43,400
Speaker 1: Eric Weinstein's is I'm sorry, no, Brett Weinstein on why

1588
01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 1: that was Eric Weinstein. Brett Weinstein is this professor who said,

1589
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:50,800
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not really cool with the whole

1590
01:29:51,360 --> 01:29:54,200
Speaker 1: not going not going to school thing because we're having

1591
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:58,800
Speaker 1: a day of no white people. And he got hammered

1592
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:02,439
Speaker 1: for that. People we're saying that he was he was

1593
01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:06,639
Speaker 1: a racist and he doesn't understand and he's just he's

1594
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:09,280
Speaker 1: just wallowing and all that white privilege and and all

1595
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:12,800
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. It's the uh, you know that

1596
01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:15,599
Speaker 1: this isn't a four year of four year college. Folks

1597
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:18,519
Speaker 1: up in Washington state is Evergreen State College, and he

1598
01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:20,840
Speaker 1: got in all this hot water over and then of

1599
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:23,920
Speaker 1: course people said, hold on a second, um, maybe this

1600
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:26,800
Speaker 1: guy's actually got something worthwhile to say, and and he

1601
01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:29,400
Speaker 1: can't he do we have him on this show. We've

1602
01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:32,320
Speaker 1: definitely had some No, we had an n y U

1603
01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:35,479
Speaker 1: professor who had a similar situation, but we haven't had Wineste.

1604
01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:36,840
Speaker 1: I don't think we've had weine Steine on this show.

1605
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:39,080
Speaker 1: I can't remember. We have so many guests. That's a

1606
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:42,200
Speaker 1: high class problem. But anyway, why I'm updating you on

1607
01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:44,519
Speaker 1: Evergreen is for one and just to remind you all.

1608
01:30:44,680 --> 01:30:48,320
Speaker 1: As as we're always being told that that Trump is terrible.

1609
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:51,320
Speaker 1: You know that the cover of The Atlantic, the very fancy,

1610
01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:56,759
Speaker 1: highbrow journal of of opinion and culture, has the death

1611
01:30:56,800 --> 01:30:59,439
Speaker 1: of Democracy on its cover for this month. You know

1612
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:02,479
Speaker 1: it's it's all Trump is just destroying democracy in general.

1613
01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:05,960
Speaker 1: That's the that's the basics. Uh As people are saying

1614
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:08,800
Speaker 1: all this crazy stuff. Meanwhile, they will support things like

1615
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:12,400
Speaker 1: an idea of uh no white people allowed at school

1616
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:15,160
Speaker 1: for the day, and they don't see that as being

1617
01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:18,080
Speaker 1: in any way problematic that they don't see a day

1618
01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:22,960
Speaker 1: without white people. As as an issue. Uh, and turns

1619
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:26,200
Speaker 1: out other people do because there has been a ctisty.

1620
01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 1: This is a quote, a catastrophic drop in applications to

1621
01:31:32,240 --> 01:31:36,560
Speaker 1: Evergreen State College. People do not want to go anymore.

1622
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:41,519
Speaker 1: Oh wow, what a surprise. You mean when you have

1623
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:45,800
Speaker 1: a crazy idea that a school embraces that is just

1624
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:49,439
Speaker 1: beyond even what what you would expect from the social

1625
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:52,000
Speaker 1: justice left and all of their lunacy, you mean that

1626
01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:53,960
Speaker 1: people might react to that in ways that you don't

1627
01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:59,719
Speaker 1: want them to. Uh. They expect three hundred and fifty

1628
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:04,879
Speaker 1: freshman in the in their incoming class, but the school

1629
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:11,840
Speaker 1: has a three thousand, a three thousand person enrollment. So

1630
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:15,839
Speaker 1: if you do that year by year, their their numbers

1631
01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:20,080
Speaker 1: are down well, I mean, let's say it's roughly Uh,

1632
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:24,200
Speaker 1: they have roughly six hundred students at the at the

1633
01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:28,120
Speaker 1: freshman incoming class rate, but they're supposed to have three thousand,

1634
01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:32,400
Speaker 1: so they're down like half. They're down half, which is

1635
01:32:33,120 --> 01:32:36,639
Speaker 1: Oh and and as producer Mike points out, MISSOO, which

1636
01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:39,080
Speaker 1: had that professor who was like, we need some muscle

1637
01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:43,200
Speaker 1: over here, we need some muscle over You know, guys,

1638
01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:46,599
Speaker 1: if you don't know I'm talking about you remember that

1639
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 1: Melissa was her name, Melissa Click Melissa, like I I

1640
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:55,240
Speaker 1: need some muffo. He's video taping us here. Uh. That

1641
01:32:55,439 --> 01:32:58,639
Speaker 1: school producer Mike just wanted has had a thirty five

1642
01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:01,880
Speaker 1: percent drop. It app like Asians. So you know, I

1643
01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:03,200
Speaker 1: know right now a lot of people are saying, Oh,

1644
01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:07,599
Speaker 1: Nike's brilliant their marketing campaign social justice is such a winning,

1645
01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:10,519
Speaker 1: a winning strategy. Well, first of all, I think the

1646
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 1: jury is still out on whether Nike has made a

1647
01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:14,599
Speaker 1: smart move or not. Initially was a really bad move.

1648
01:33:14,680 --> 01:33:17,680
Speaker 1: Now the seconds rebounded. But for these schools that go

1649
01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:21,559
Speaker 1: too hard left on the social justice, the corrective mechanism

1650
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:24,320
Speaker 1: that's in place is normal. People look at this and say,

1651
01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:26,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to that place, that school,

1652
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:28,880
Speaker 1: it's crazy. So that's a good thing, you know, it's

1653
01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:32,839
Speaker 1: a it's a victory for sanity today and Evergreen State College.

1654
01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:34,559
Speaker 1: I want to talk about what it's like to try

1655
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:37,920
Speaker 1: and be Russian and date in d C. I'm obviously

1656
01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:40,280
Speaker 1: not dating nor my Russian, but I read a story

1657
01:33:40,320 --> 01:33:43,599
Speaker 1: about it. Stay with me, So what's it like these

1658
01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:48,120
Speaker 1: days to be Russian and in the swamp. We'll just

1659
01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:53,160
Speaker 1: like with the walk around in the and the talk

1660
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:58,160
Speaker 1: to the Konski, the truth is that because of all

1661
01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:02,880
Speaker 1: the Russia collusion in craziness, because so many people have

1662
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:05,920
Speaker 1: gotten focused in on this notion of Russia as our

1663
01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:09,360
Speaker 1: as our greatest foe uh and and the Russian people

1664
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:13,800
Speaker 1: as lurking under every under every bed, and and you

1665
01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:16,800
Speaker 1: know in every Internet chat room, on every computer there's

1666
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:21,000
Speaker 1: a Russian troll just waiting to leap out and throw

1667
01:34:21,040 --> 01:34:23,680
Speaker 1: an election. I mean, it really is. It's a hysteria.

1668
01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:27,639
Speaker 1: It is a true Red Scare without the high level

1669
01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:32,320
Speaker 1: penetrations of the United States government. Oh that's right of Democrats,

1670
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:36,400
Speaker 1: by the way, that occurred during the actual original Red Scare.

1671
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:40,200
Speaker 1: But it's not just something that affects people in the

1672
01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:44,800
Speaker 1: world of politics, and and in the legal realm, you

1673
01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:46,679
Speaker 1: will also have the day to day. But I thought

1674
01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:50,400
Speaker 1: this was pretty funny. I mean, the uh, Politico has

1675
01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:53,280
Speaker 1: a magazine piece. Politico is kind of a competitor of

1676
01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:55,759
Speaker 1: of the Hill where I work. They have a magazine

1677
01:34:55,760 --> 01:35:00,719
Speaker 1: piece that's tinder Woes, Suspicious Landlords and snark key bosses,

1678
01:35:01,439 --> 01:35:05,439
Speaker 1: young and Russian in d C. And the subhead is

1679
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:08,599
Speaker 1: Washington's young emigrat crowd is beginning to feel like they're

1680
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:11,639
Speaker 1: living in a spy novel and they're the bad guys.

1681
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:18,479
Speaker 1: So it turns out that there are plenty of folks

1682
01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:21,720
Speaker 1: who have really internalized all this stuff about Russia and

1683
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:26,120
Speaker 1: Russia collusion to the degree that now when a young

1684
01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:28,760
Speaker 1: Russian guy or gal is out on a date in

1685
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:32,880
Speaker 1: the district, people make jokes about whether they're, you know,

1686
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:37,080
Speaker 1: part of the election meddling process, or if they're also

1687
01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:41,200
Speaker 1: working for the FSB. And I'mbroe. A while ago, there

1688
01:35:41,240 --> 01:35:45,200
Speaker 1: was a place here in d c uh that's called

1689
01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:49,400
Speaker 1: the Russia House, and they basically serve a lot of

1690
01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:51,800
Speaker 1: flavored vodka. I mean they just they make a lot

1691
01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:55,800
Speaker 1: of different flavored vodkas there and I went on a

1692
01:35:55,840 --> 01:35:58,240
Speaker 1: few dates they're back in the day. I definitely spend

1693
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:00,320
Speaker 1: some time in Russia House and it was right on

1694
01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:03,479
Speaker 1: Connecticut Avenue in Washington, d c. It's a great spot.

1695
01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:07,679
Speaker 1: But because of all the anti Trump Russia stuff, they've

1696
01:36:07,720 --> 01:36:10,439
Speaker 1: actually seen a drop off in their business, which is

1697
01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:15,520
Speaker 1: just crazy, especially because the Russia House is owned by Americans,

1698
01:36:15,600 --> 01:36:19,720
Speaker 1: like they just this is kind of a kitchy thing

1699
01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:22,519
Speaker 1: that they've gone with and now people are are punishing

1700
01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:25,560
Speaker 1: Russia house that would seem because they they're worried that

1701
01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:28,200
Speaker 1: some oligarch is an owner in it or something. It's

1702
01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:31,639
Speaker 1: not true, and they tell some stories about this here

1703
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:36,040
Speaker 1: about how quote um Mari Vanna, a three story restaurant

1704
01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:40,160
Speaker 1: and nightclub littered with Soviet eric kitch opened in DuPont

1705
01:36:40,240 --> 01:36:43,599
Speaker 1: Circle and became the Russian diaspora's day facto party house.

1706
01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:49,080
Speaker 1: It's KGB karaoke nights on Wednesday. Wednesday's raged into the

1707
01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:55,519
Speaker 1: morning hours. Top Russian acts like Avenushki Ivanushki International would

1708
01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:58,639
Speaker 1: swing through town to play gigs, and Washington Capital stars

1709
01:36:58,680 --> 01:37:03,320
Speaker 1: Alexander o Vette Skin and Alexander Semon would sometimes join

1710
01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:06,559
Speaker 1: in the revelry with students and summer workers from all

1711
01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:10,360
Speaker 1: over the former Soviet Union um and then they said

1712
01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:12,519
Speaker 1: before I would call an event and say hey, we're

1713
01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:15,080
Speaker 1: going to have Ukrainian Independence Day, and everybody would come.

1714
01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:20,479
Speaker 1: This according to a a Soviet born dj uh, he says,

1715
01:37:20,479 --> 01:37:26,080
Speaker 1: it didn't matter Ukrainian Russia, nobody differentiated. Then Vladimir Putin

1716
01:37:26,120 --> 01:37:29,760
Speaker 1: annex Crimea. The headlines were full of sanctions and the

1717
01:37:29,840 --> 01:37:35,960
Speaker 1: Ukrainians went their own way. And now it's considered poor

1718
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:41,599
Speaker 1: taste to throw anything with Russian nationalist overtones. Um. When

1719
01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:44,559
Speaker 1: Maria Boutina twenty nine was charged with acting as an

1720
01:37:44,600 --> 01:37:47,280
Speaker 1: unregistered Kremlin agent from her perch as a grad student

1721
01:37:47,320 --> 01:37:51,839
Speaker 1: at American University, it seemed to confirm Washington's worst suspicions

1722
01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:54,919
Speaker 1: about them. And now, more so than ever, the Capital's

1723
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:58,680
Speaker 1: young Russian Tonians find themselves living in a battlefield of

1724
01:37:58,720 --> 01:38:02,120
Speaker 1: the new Cold War. Oh man, it's pretty funny. This

1725
01:38:02,160 --> 01:38:07,120
Speaker 1: is a piece by uh who can't find out who

1726
01:38:07,200 --> 01:38:11,880
Speaker 1: it is? Oh Ben Shreckinger talking about how when they

1727
01:38:11,920 --> 01:38:13,760
Speaker 1: go out on tender dates now or when they try

1728
01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:18,040
Speaker 1: to rent an apartment, they hear stuff from their landlords

1729
01:38:18,080 --> 01:38:21,439
Speaker 1: about whether they well, actually they think there's discrimination. You know,

1730
01:38:21,479 --> 01:38:24,160
Speaker 1: technically you're not allowed to discriminate against somebody even based

1731
01:38:24,200 --> 01:38:28,280
Speaker 1: on national origin in housing, which I'm not sure everybody knows.

1732
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:33,400
Speaker 1: You know that you can't based on gender, uh, disability,

1733
01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:37,879
Speaker 1: or ethnic or racial origin. But you can't even say, hey,

1734
01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, we're we're at war with ex country, so

1735
01:38:41,320 --> 01:38:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to rent a people who are from

1736
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:45,519
Speaker 1: that country, which I think would surprise a lot of folks.

1737
01:38:46,120 --> 01:38:49,280
Speaker 1: But you know, these these periods of time when you

1738
01:38:49,360 --> 01:38:53,040
Speaker 1: have a certain uh nationality and a certain country that

1739
01:38:53,120 --> 01:38:59,200
Speaker 1: becomes the number one boogeyman in our international relations, it

1740
01:38:59,280 --> 01:39:03,960
Speaker 1: has these kinds of effects. I remember after after nine

1741
01:39:03,960 --> 01:39:08,080
Speaker 1: eleven and then going into the Iraq War period, there

1742
01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:12,600
Speaker 1: was a pretty heavy degree of anti French sentiment. You

1743
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:14,360
Speaker 1: guys remember this, remember back with the whole They're gonna

1744
01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:17,920
Speaker 1: call him Freedom fries instead of French fries. There was

1745
01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:21,639
Speaker 1: a restaurant in New York called E Tazuni, which means

1746
01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:25,840
Speaker 1: the United States, and they it was completely American owned

1747
01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:28,280
Speaker 1: and operated, but they just it was French cuisine and

1748
01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:31,280
Speaker 1: they called it at a Zuni. I remember them them

1749
01:39:31,280 --> 01:39:34,120
Speaker 1: being quoted about how they felt like people weren't and

1750
01:39:34,240 --> 01:39:37,400
Speaker 1: they had heard from people that they didn't want to, uh,

1751
01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:40,839
Speaker 1: you know, support a French restaurant because of what Francis

1752
01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 1: foreign policy was. So, you know, you come up against

1753
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:46,200
Speaker 1: this sometimes and it's silly, but in d C it's

1754
01:39:46,680 --> 01:39:49,040
Speaker 1: it's very real right now because you get people that

1755
01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:52,760
Speaker 1: are getting picked up like Maria Boutina, who are essentially socialites.

1756
01:39:53,560 --> 01:39:56,960
Speaker 1: She was a socialite who was trying to, you know,

1757
01:39:57,000 --> 01:40:00,760
Speaker 1: storm the corridors of power here in America and to

1758
01:40:00,840 --> 01:40:04,200
Speaker 1: do so by personal connections, and there they have her, Folks.

1759
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:06,200
Speaker 1: She's locked up and they won't even let her out

1760
01:40:06,240 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 1: on bail. So she's in prison for this whole thing,

1761
01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:11,519
Speaker 1: and they're going to try to get her on a

1762
01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:14,479
Speaker 1: foreign agent registration violation. I don't know what else they

1763
01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:17,559
Speaker 1: think they're gonna nail her on, but that's usually a

1764
01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:20,360
Speaker 1: pretty minor thing, at least when it involves an American.

1765
01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:23,280
Speaker 1: But there's a hysteria from the do o J all

1766
01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:26,000
Speaker 1: the way down. I think that's what That's what the

1767
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:28,519
Speaker 1: real difference is here, folks. It's not just that people

1768
01:40:28,600 --> 01:40:31,479
Speaker 1: are socially thinking of Russia as oh gosh, I've heard

1769
01:40:31,479 --> 01:40:34,080
Speaker 1: about this on the news, but the Department of Justice

1770
01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:37,479
Speaker 1: acts like anything Russia related now is a dire threat

1771
01:40:37,479 --> 01:40:40,040
Speaker 1: of the country. So if you're on a tender date

1772
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:45,040
Speaker 1: and you're and you're Russian, say you're from Georgia, they

1773
01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:50,360
Speaker 1: won't know which one. Liberty, Truth and Great Hair Team

Speaker 1: When you do Hillary's voice, it cracks me up. I

1779

Speaker 1: high expectations for just that very fact, that very thing,

1800
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,920
Speaker 1: Laurie writes, Buck, you mentioned on there that you don't

1801
01:42:39,960 --> 01:42:43,160
Speaker 1: believe people like Nancy Pelosi we're Christians if they held

1802
01:42:43,200 --> 01:42:47,680
Speaker 1: the leftist views you were discussing. I'm curious what you

1803
01:42:47,720 --> 01:42:51,120
Speaker 1: believe about the apostle paul statements to the Church in Corinth,

1804
01:42:51,479 --> 01:42:54,280
Speaker 1: where he describes those who practice certain behaviors will not

1805
01:42:54,439 --> 01:42:57,360
Speaker 1: enter the Kingdom of Heaven. At the same time, he

1806
01:42:57,400 --> 01:42:59,120
Speaker 1: makes it clear that although those who claim to be

1807
01:42:59,200 --> 01:43:02,040
Speaker 1: Christians may have one to practice those behaviors, they do

1808
01:43:02,120 --> 01:43:06,720
Speaker 1: so no longer. I think the list he gives is

1809
01:43:06,760 --> 01:43:09,760
Speaker 1: an indictment on many who claim to be Christians, don't you, Laura.

1810
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:11,519
Speaker 1: I'd have to check it out. I'm not familiar with

1811
01:43:11,560 --> 01:43:14,759
Speaker 1: that verse. I'm not familiar with that passage in the Bible.

1812
01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:18,360
Speaker 1: And and remember I was just really referring to I

1813
01:43:18,360 --> 01:43:21,960
Speaker 1: don't understand how you can claim to be a believing

1814
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:25,760
Speaker 1: Christian and be in favor of abortion for all nine

1815
01:43:25,760 --> 01:43:30,000
Speaker 1: months of a pregnancy, and in fact, real abortion abortion

1816
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:33,760
Speaker 1: movement doctrine is that you have the right to an

1817
01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:39,120
Speaker 1: abortion even if the fetus is successfully delivered against the

1818
01:43:39,160 --> 01:43:43,840
Speaker 1: best efforts of the medical team involved. That's why there,

1819
01:43:43,840 --> 01:43:48,200
Speaker 1: That's what necessitated the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. And

1820
01:43:48,520 --> 01:43:50,519
Speaker 1: I would note that not only did my advisor at

1821
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:53,920
Speaker 1: Amherst help craft that bill at Amherst College, he was

1822
01:43:53,960 --> 01:43:56,800
Speaker 1: involved in that a long time ago. But Barack Obama

1823
01:43:56,960 --> 01:43:59,080
Speaker 1: was one of the very few that I know of

1824
01:43:59,120 --> 01:44:03,479
Speaker 1: at least who, as a state senator in Illinois, voted

1825
01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:07,599
Speaker 1: against a companion bill to the Born Alive Infants Protection

1826
01:44:07,600 --> 01:44:13,679
Speaker 1: Act because he wanted to be an absolute thumbs up

1827
01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:18,440
Speaker 1: from ney Roll pro choice America and the planned parenthood.

1828
01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:23,720
Speaker 1: Uh money machine behind politics, So that you take that

1829
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:25,280
Speaker 1: for what it's worth. But Laura, I'd have to check

1830
01:44:25,320 --> 01:44:28,200
Speaker 1: that verse out and we will see. Uh. Derby writes,

1831
01:44:28,240 --> 01:44:31,439
Speaker 1: hey Buck shows amazing as always, Derby man. You always

1832
01:44:31,479 --> 01:44:33,360
Speaker 1: you always brighten up my day. Derby. I can always

1833
01:44:33,400 --> 01:44:35,640
Speaker 1: count on Derby to make things a little better. I

1834
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:38,679
Speaker 1: am continually impressed by your analysis. Your ability to articulate

1835
01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:40,600
Speaker 1: your opinion is very impressive to me because you have

1836
01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:43,760
Speaker 1: the ability to say exactly what's on my mind the time.

1837
01:44:43,800 --> 01:44:46,600
Speaker 1: Well done, sir. As a side note, I suffered in

1838
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:49,320
Speaker 1: silence for eight years, but I can be silent no longer.

1839
01:44:49,920 --> 01:44:53,280
Speaker 1: Obama whistles when he says the letter S. It makes

1840
01:44:53,280 --> 01:44:57,000
Speaker 1: me crazy. I hope I'm not the only one shields high. Brother.

1841
01:44:57,040 --> 01:44:58,599
Speaker 1: Love to you and miss Molly, hope you're both doing

1842
01:44:58,600 --> 01:45:01,680
Speaker 1: well well. Love right back to you, Darby from us

1843
01:45:01,680 --> 01:45:05,680
Speaker 1: here in the swamp in d C. And I am.

1844
01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:07,720
Speaker 1: I can't tell you that I have ever picked up

1845
01:45:07,760 --> 01:45:12,000
Speaker 1: Obama making an what do you say he does whistling

1846
01:45:12,320 --> 01:45:15,639
Speaker 1: when he makes an S sound. I'm I have never

1847
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:17,280
Speaker 1: picked up on that, and I tend to think that

1848
01:45:17,280 --> 01:45:18,960
Speaker 1: I'm a pretty astute. I'll have to go back and

1849
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:24,040
Speaker 1: listen to some of it. Um, t J. Right, book,

1850
01:45:24,200 --> 01:45:27,240
Speaker 1: you really don't think Woodward is a fabricator? What about

1851
01:45:27,240 --> 01:45:30,799
Speaker 1: the confession he obtained from the comatose CI director William Casey.

1852
01:45:30,840 --> 01:45:33,720
Speaker 1: If that's not fabrication, I don't know what is, t J.

1853
01:45:33,960 --> 01:45:37,360
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure there have been fabrications in his past,

1854
01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:40,360
Speaker 1: just based on his reporting record. I'm not saying he's

1855
01:45:40,520 --> 01:45:44,160
Speaker 1: never fabricated. I'm just saying I find it hard to

1856
01:45:44,240 --> 01:45:48,960
Speaker 1: believe that he would engage in wholesale fabrications in this book.

1857
01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:53,160
Speaker 1: But keep in mind that he doesn't fabricate does not

1858
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:57,519
Speaker 1: mean that he is not peddling fabrications, right Like t J.

1859
01:45:57,600 --> 01:46:01,439
Speaker 1: If I was interviewing you for a book and you were, uh,

1860
01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:04,200
Speaker 1: the main person that I needed to talk to you

1861
01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:07,200
Speaker 1: on a certain subject, and I said, Hey, what happened

1862
01:46:07,200 --> 01:46:09,960
Speaker 1: when you had a conversation about this or that thing

1863
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:13,400
Speaker 1: in the room? And I wrote down verbatim what you said,

1864
01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:16,280
Speaker 1: and I transcribed it, and I and I also recorded

1865
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:20,439
Speaker 1: the audio. I'm not fabricating, but if you fabricated, then

1866
01:46:20,439 --> 01:46:23,320
Speaker 1: the information is fake. And I think that that a

1867
01:46:23,320 --> 01:46:24,800
Speaker 1: lot of that has happened. Not only to think that

1868
01:46:24,800 --> 01:46:27,880
Speaker 1: would be general Madison, others have said that some of

1869
01:46:27,880 --> 01:46:30,760
Speaker 1: the information in the Woodword Book is in fact fabricated.

1870
01:46:30,760 --> 01:46:34,000
Speaker 1: I would note that this weekend, I'm gonna dive into

1871
01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:37,200
Speaker 1: the Woodword Book. This weekend. That's gonna be my my

Speaker 1: Adam says, all right, Adam, we'll take a look at that.

1896
01:47:56,840 --> 01:47:58,559
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know why that is. You know,

1897
01:47:58,560 --> 01:48:00,280
Speaker 1: we had that one day, we had a kind of

1898
01:48:00,280 --> 01:48:02,320
Speaker 1: a half show on the podcast. We've gone back to

1899
01:48:02,360 --> 01:48:06,400
Speaker 1: full podcast. Don't worry. Uh. And you can all plan

1900
01:48:06,600 --> 01:48:10,559
Speaker 1: on the podcast getting released earlier on in the day.

1901
01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:13,639
Speaker 1: So the podcast of the show, you can always listen live.

1902
01:48:13,680 --> 01:48:16,640
Speaker 1: You can listen on the I heart stream, you can

1903
01:48:16,680 --> 01:48:19,080
Speaker 1: listen on whatever your whatever your affiliate station is across

1904
01:48:19,080 --> 01:48:21,400
Speaker 1: the country. But you can also if you're a podcast listener,

1905
01:48:21,800 --> 01:48:23,680
Speaker 1: check in because we try to get as much of

1906
01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:28,639
Speaker 1: the show up as early as we can. So check

1907
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:30,679
Speaker 1: in your feeds, folks, and you'll probably start to see

1908
01:48:30,720 --> 01:48:33,639
Speaker 1: it earlier on because we had been posting it around

1909
01:48:34,120 --> 01:48:37,200
Speaker 1: ten Eastern. We're moving it up quite a bit from there.

1910
01:48:37,200 --> 01:48:38,760
Speaker 1: In fact, we're gonna move it up as early as

1911
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:41,040
Speaker 1: we can hopefully get in a few hours earlier than

1912
01:48:41,080 --> 01:48:44,120
Speaker 1: that into your feeds, so that way you can listen

1913
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 1: on the way home, you can listen as you're making dinner. Uh.

1914
01:48:47,320 --> 01:48:49,280
Speaker 1: And that and people won't be a day behind with

1915
01:48:49,320 --> 01:48:54,400
Speaker 1: the podcast. So I think that's really important. Uh. Sheldon writes, Buck,

1916
01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:57,680
Speaker 1: thank you for the great shows. This is related to

1917
01:48:57,680 --> 01:48:59,640
Speaker 1: the podcast issues earlier in the week. I want to

1918
01:48:59,640 --> 01:49:03,800
Speaker 1: be clear year. UM, I would love the early quick

1919
01:49:03,840 --> 01:49:07,320
Speaker 1: hit podcast along with the night radio podcast. I think

1920
01:49:07,360 --> 01:49:09,320
Speaker 1: what was confusing was we had the quick hit podcast

1921
01:49:09,400 --> 01:49:11,280
Speaker 1: as promise, which was great, but the full show was

1922
01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:14,760
Speaker 1: never uploaded on Monday. Then on Tuesday we only got

1923
01:49:14,760 --> 01:49:18,160
Speaker 1: the full show, no quick hits. I'm not sure how

1924
01:49:18,200 --> 01:49:20,720
Speaker 1: things work as far as iTunes and podcasts operate. If

1925
01:49:20,720 --> 01:49:23,280
Speaker 1: you still want to do the short show, uh, you know,

1926
01:49:23,320 --> 01:49:26,160
Speaker 1: we'd love to hear that Shields High from Sheldon. So, Sheldon,

1927
01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:28,400
Speaker 1: what what we're gonna do for now is just we're

1928
01:49:28,439 --> 01:49:30,640
Speaker 1: just gonna focus on the full show. And this has

1929
01:49:30,680 --> 01:49:33,040
Speaker 1: been something of an experiment. We're gonna focus on the

1930
01:49:33,080 --> 01:49:35,599
Speaker 1: full show, but we're gonna get it up earlier. We're

1931
01:49:35,600 --> 01:49:39,400
Speaker 1: gonna have the podcast up earlier on in the day

1932
01:49:40,080 --> 01:49:42,360
Speaker 1: because some of this show, some of the radio show

1933
01:49:42,360 --> 01:49:45,400
Speaker 1: you're listening to, is delayed. So a lot of what

1934
01:49:45,520 --> 01:49:49,559
Speaker 1: you're a lot of the different segments, UM are getting

1935
01:49:49,800 --> 01:49:52,400
Speaker 1: delayed later on in the radio clock, depending on what market,

1936
01:49:52,400 --> 01:49:55,600
Speaker 1: what station you're listening on. So the pod, instead of

1937
01:49:55,600 --> 01:49:58,960
Speaker 1: waiting for us to clear all the all stations everywhere,

1938
01:49:59,439 --> 01:50:02,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna put the podcast up earlier in the day.

1939
01:50:02,160 --> 01:50:06,720
Speaker 1: So that is the plan, and writes Charleston, South Carolina. Here,

1940
01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:09,639
Speaker 1: we made the decision to evacuate last night. Glad we

1941
01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:12,360
Speaker 1: did because the storm changed path of it overnight and

1942
01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:14,479
Speaker 1: the Charleston area looks to get more of a hit

1943
01:50:14,520 --> 01:50:17,680
Speaker 1: than it was going to yesterday. Things got harry when

1944
01:50:17,720 --> 01:50:21,400
Speaker 1: the governor called for evacuations Monday. Trying to keep calm well,

1945
01:50:21,400 --> 01:50:24,519
Speaker 1: and it's very important that you keep calm, and you're

1946
01:50:24,560 --> 01:50:27,960
Speaker 1: in our thoughts and prayers to be sure, and we

1947
01:50:28,439 --> 01:50:30,400
Speaker 1: want to make sure that you and all of your

1948
01:50:30,400 --> 01:50:32,760
Speaker 1: loved ones are safe and that's priority number one. So

1949
01:50:32,840 --> 01:50:34,280
Speaker 1: make sure you take care of yourself, take care of

1950
01:50:34,320 --> 01:50:36,880
Speaker 1: those around you, and check back in with us once

1951
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:40,519
Speaker 1: you've made it through this storm. All good and team

1952
01:50:40,640 --> 01:50:43,920
Speaker 1: that's gonna be it for the Freedom Hunt, or rather

1953
01:50:43,960 --> 01:50:46,760
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show. Today, same thing, I guess see

1954
01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:49,960
Speaker 1: you tomorrow, same time. Shields high
