WEBVTT - Democrats Beat Republicans? 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:15.960 You are entering the freedom hunt. The shutdown has ended. 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:18.800 Donald Trump has agreed to fund the government for at 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:21.919 least a few weeks. Where does this leave the debate 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.840 over a barrier at our southern border? And also Roger 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:31.639 Stone arrested in a pre dawn raid. The dapper former 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:34.640 Trump confidant is somebody that's going to be getting a 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:38.680 lot of attention for possible ties to Wiki leaks and 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.840 disclosures and the Muller probe and owe so much more. 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.880 That's all coming up on The buck Sexton Show. This 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.280 is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:54.360 is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:58.200 no mistake American, You're a great American Again, The buck 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:07.920 Sexton Show begins former CIA analysts. In a short while, 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:12.360 I will sign a bill to open our government for 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:17.319 three weeks until February fifteenth. I will make sure that 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:22.600 all employees receive their back pay very quickly, or as 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:27.960 soon as possible. It'll happen fast. I am asking Senate 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:32.760 Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to put this proposal on the 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:38.800 floor immediately. After thirty six days of spirited debate and dialogue. 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:45.479 I have seen and heard from enough Democrats and Republicans 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:52.360 that they are willing to put partisanship aside. Welcome to 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:57.320 the Buck Sexton Show on this somewhat lovely Friday. There 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:02.120 you heard it. The government is getting real opened. President 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.600 has agreed to a deal that reopens the government. They're 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.480 going to try to get back pay and future pay 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:17.480 to federal government employees. And no wall funds. No wall funds. Now. 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:20.880 I understand that there are some there are some folks 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:24.200 that are are really upset about this, and they may 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.720 they may be right. I don't do the I know 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.960 everything on radio routine. There are some people that pretend 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.000 to be almost omniscient and all knowing that's their stick. 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.480 You could say, I know a fair amount of stuff. 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:38.919 I don't have the answers to everything, and I certainly 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.320 would never pretend to have the answers to everything. Is 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:46.040 Is this the right move for Trump? Here? Maybe? And 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:50.200 let me explain why am I concerned that? Sure enough, 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.040 when it comes to political will, when it comes to 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:58.760 having the ability to stick together so that your side wins, 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:03.359 Democrats beat Republicublicans just like I always think they're going to. Yeah, 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.880 of course, of course that surprises me. Of course, I've 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:11.000 got a problem with that. Um or rather doesn't surprise me, 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:16.040 and I, uh pardon me, and I am bothered by it. 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:21.600 But here's how this might be. Okay, here's how I 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:27.320 see this as perhaps not the surrender that's um I 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.880 know a lot of people are already h ankle. Let 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:31.440 me let me say, what does Ann Colder sett on 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.560 this when she says that this is basically the whimpiest 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.440 thing Republican has done since George H. W. Bush or 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:46.000 something like that. Uh so, the biggest whimper. Okay, here's 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.840 what ends. Oh my gosh, here's what Ann says. Good 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.680 news for George Herbert Walker Bush as up today he's 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:54.840 no longer the biggest whimp ever to serve as president 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:58.560 of the United States. Man, Ann is not messed around 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.040 on this wall thing. Here's the way this works out. 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.880 And I don't know if it will. I don't know 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:10.440 if it will. But the president now, the president now 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:14.040 can say, okay, look, we open the government. So now 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:15.960 people are getting their pay again. And you know, not 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.040 all the federal govern employees are going to be starving 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:19.880 who are affected by the shutdown on all this, because 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.159 that's what we're being told, Oh, it's it's all falling apart. 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.040 There's gonna be a few weeks here where the president 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.360 can make the case again there won't be a shutdown 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:37.400 under way, and without people being able to point to 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:41.880 the downside of the shutdown, right, people not getting their 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.480 pay and the air traffic controllers and the TSA agents 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.920 and all the rest of it. Without that, it will 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.440 become increasingly clear, I think, and especially when Trump does 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.520 a State of the Union address, which I think now 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:57.279 is likely to be back on. Assuming that this deal 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.640 all goes through and everything happens as planned, it is 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.120 likely the case that I think the American people realize 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.160 that Democrats just don't want Trump to have a barrier, 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.520 not because they think it won't work or it's too expensive, 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:11.560 they just don't want to. They don't want a cave 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:16.800 to Trump on anything period. This is about pure power politics, 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.440 nothing to do with principles, nothing to do with Democrats 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.880 thinking that a barrier of fense isn't really necessary or 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:27.160 helpful or any of the rest of it. So let's 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.880 all just understand that this was a test of wills, 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:34.719 and right now there is reason to question whether Trump 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:36.080 is going to come out on top of this, and 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.680 I've got to be honest with you about that. You 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.680 know Trump originally and I haven't forgotten. Look, I got 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.360 a lot of criticism for Republicans too, and we do 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.680 need to keep all this in mind. Republicans, I think, 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.800 could have gone with a nuclear option and just this, 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.040 this whole sixty vote thing, this is garbage. Okay, we've 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.160 got a majority in the Senate. They should have used 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.920 the majority in the Senate and said enough of the 0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:02.640 sixty vote filibuster crap, let's just do it. That's one 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:04.480 because the Democrats the next time they have the House 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:05.960 and the Senate, they're gonna they're gonna do it. I 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:12.920 guarantee they're gonna do it. The lack of action from 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.719 the Republicans in the House in the center of the 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:17.640 course they're on this issue, the lack of a willingness 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:21.839 to fight on this earlier on in a way that 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.200 has the kind of conviction that makes people think that 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.240 maybe it will really happen. That I find very I 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.720 find very disconcerting. And that Trump, and you know, right 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.280 before the Christmas break, was basically saying, yeah, I'm gonna 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.760 sign this and whatever. No big deal. These are all 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:42.599 big problems. Republicans have not covered themselves in glory on this, 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.839 and I'm not going to pretend that they are. Now 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:53.560 that all that all said, all right, Trump now is 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.800 able to make the case without the backdrop of a 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.920 shutdown with people, Oh all the complaints about people, the 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.960 missing more payments and missing And I'm not saying that 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:06.039 wasn't happening. I'm just saying that it turned into who 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.720 could make the most noise about how much pain there 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.040 was for these federal govern employees. And why is it 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.880 the Democrats always win the shutdown debate? You know, why 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:18.800 is it that Republicans managed to get out maneuvered by 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:24.760 the Democrats on this? Find it very frustrating. Now, what 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:29.280 does Trump plan to do now that we've got a 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.640 few weeks here before there's gonna be another shutdown fighting, 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:34.080 By the way, I think Trump will probably be willing 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:38.040 to shut it down once more. Well, Trump told us 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:43.200 what he plans to do play thirteen. So let me 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:48.040 be very clear, we really have no choice but to 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:52.600 build a powerful wall or steel barrier. If we don't 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.360 get a fair deal from Congress, the government will either 0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:01.480 shut down on February fifteenth. Again, I will use the 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:06.040 powers afforded to me under the laws and the Constitution 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:11.160 of the United States to address this emergency. We will 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:15.320 have great security. And I want to thank you all 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:19.520 very much, Thank you very much. All Right, he's saying, 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.760 he's saying he's going to declare his data of emergency. 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:24.760 I'd also note that there is I think it was 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:28.760 the non partisan Congressional Research Service that came out recently 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:32.520 and said that Trump does in fact have options to 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:38.200 build a wall in his authority. That will you know 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.600 that that he can do, he can he can essentially 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.560 go for it. We know that a court, no matter 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.240 what his authority actually says, a court's going to stop him. 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.040 Though I mean, I can't, I can't imagine a future 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.319 in which that does not happen. But at least, at 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.880 least there are options here. At least there is the 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:59.200 possibility of the president managing to get some wall construction 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:03.120 going and continuing on in this fight, even though clearly 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:07.320 he has caved right now. But it's a reminder that 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:15.160 the will to withstand is very important in the political 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.960 climate one right now, I mean, the ability to endure 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:25.760 and to resist the resistance is something that if Republicans 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.800 don't have it, they're never gonna They're never gonna get 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:30.760 anywhere of this stuff. They're never going to be able 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:35.440 to overcome the intransigence of Democrats and deliver on key promises, 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:37.800 and securing the border certainly one of them. I mean, 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:39.559 you know, just remember even if we even if we 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:43.600 got the perfect fence tomorrow, we got the border fence 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.280 ever or we need it. It's double layer. It's it's uh, 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:52.559 you know, steel slats, and it has the the jump 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.679 plates at the top so that people are the climb 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.599 plates rather at the top so people can't climb on 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.040 the Maybe we had all that and it gets built, 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.600 and it gets built right Awa really fast. We still 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:06.400 have a massive immigration, illegal immigration problem. We have to 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.760 hand it. We've got all the illegals inside the country. 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:13.000 We've got these overstays, we've got birth tours, and we 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.120 got all this stuff happening. We've got so many things 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.120 to add into the mix here. This is word just 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.640 fighting over step one. The fact that Democrats won't him 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:22.480 to go there tells you all all you need to know. 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:27.000 And Democrats are abably taking a victory lap here I 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.160 really hope that Trump remembers this because right now it 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.320 looks like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer one today. That's 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.440 what it looks like. We gotta say what it is 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.280 now that that doesn't mean that they're going to win 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:39.960 in the end, and they've won the battle, Will they 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:43.560 win the war over the wall? Not quite clear to 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.280 me yet. We'll see. We also got to talk about 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:49.439 Roger Stone and the fact that he's arrested and now 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.120 indicted on I think seven federal counts and all lives 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.120 were throwing a huge party today. They're also excited about 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.720 it doesn't really mean anything, doesn't really mean anything. I 0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.680 think it's, you know, gonna end up being a whole 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:05.839 whole bunch of nothing. But they are very very excited 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:12.079 about the prospect of getting Stone. So we'll see what. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:16.400 We'll see what end up happening. Eighty eight nine hundred 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:20.400 two eight to five lines Team, they're open for this hour. 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.920 Eighty eight nine two two five eighty eight nine hundred buck, 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.719 we'll be right back. In short, we do not have 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:33.280 control over who is entering our country, where they come from, 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:38.160 who they are, why they are coming. The painful reality 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:43.880 is that the tremendous economic and financial burdens of illegal 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:48.720 immigration fall on the shoulders of low income Americans, including 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:56.319 millions of wonderful, patriotic, law abiding immigrants who enrich our nation. 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:02.880 As commander in chief, my highest priority is the defense 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:09.200 of our great country. We cannot surrender operational control over 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:20.040 the nation's borders to foreign cartels, traffickers, and smugglers. President's right, 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.200 so start with that. We cannot do that. We cannot 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.400 allow the status quote to continue at the border. When 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:32.120 I have concerns that Democrats somehow get their way when 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.119 we win elections. They get their way when they win elections. 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:39.920 You know, what does it take? You gotta have sixty senators? 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.559 Well not really, they could have gone they could have 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.240 just gone nuclear. It said, no more of the sixty senators. Crap, 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.240 how about that idea? But I oppose this in general. 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.360 I mean, you've already got all these checks and balances. 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:56.360 You're gonna put additional checks on the checks and balances? Why? Why? 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.160 I mean, the filibuster is a tradition, like like you know, 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.240 the Senate taking naptime or having juicing cookies or something. 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.480 I mean, the Senate is not bound by this. Do 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:09.120 you guys have juicing cookies in school? Mike John you know? 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.839 Oh yeah, man remember that? Yeah, man, I used to. 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:16.160 This is iced to fake Newton's. I'm pretzels and French fries, 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.800 and you know something wasn't good for it. Eigntons were 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:23.680 the bomb Charlie in Ocean City, Maryland. What's up, Charlie? 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.800 Thanks for taking McCall buck. Yeah, thank you. I know. 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:33.480 I know the president wants to do the security okay, 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.880 and he's going to present that to the people because 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.560 the Democrats are not going to give him any money 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:43.320 for that wall, so they're going to get a judge, 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.400 and your judge you're gonna say, well, I you know, 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:50.400 stay at order. If I wish President Trump, I would 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.120 come back and say, judge, you don't have the authority 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:57.360 I do. I'm the president. I protect this country period. 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.719 Do you think think that the president should say I'm 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:03.920 going forward, and when a judge steps in and says no, 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:07.160 you can't, the presidents like, actually, son, I'm the commander 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:14.000 in chief exactly. That's yeah, yeah, I mean I wonder 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:15.959 how that this is one of these things where you know, 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:20.120 I've asked people before what happens if what happens if 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.200 the president just says no, actually, that's not how I mean. 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.280 I guess you could say, maybe the if the military 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.880 refused the order, but it's not an unlawful order. I mean, 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.720 you know, building offense is not you know, this isn't 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.160 a you know, some kind of a war crime, and 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.720 they're building offense. The military is gonna say no, we're 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:39.640 not gonna build defense. I don't I don't know. I 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:44.200 don't think that's gonna happen in the American people. That's 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.280 his job, not a chief, and it is it is 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.200 a worthwhile security measure too. We've been lied to, Charlie 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.280 so much and for so long about this isn't an 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.080 amazing all these people that say their job is to 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:56.960 inform us so we can be you know, we can 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:01.720 be citizens who know what's going on and better engage 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.200 in our in our democracy. They say that, of course 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.200 it's a republic, but we all get that. Then they 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.120 turn around and say things like walls don't work and 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.160 it's just a lie, and they're just lying their faces off. 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.320 But they don't care, Charlie, because they're dishonest people. I 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:17.560 hope you're right, man. I hope the President decides you 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:19.560 just step it up and go for it here, so 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:21.280 we'll have to see. But thank you for calling in. 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:25.960 She'll tige eighty eight nine two eight two five lines open. 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:30.840 It's Friday, it's freestyle kind of you can call in. 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:37.800 We're live, my friends. Give us a ring. John in Atlanta, Georgia. 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:42.680 You were on the Buck Section Show. Hey, podcast Dominions, 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:47.080 so I'm always a day behind. Okay, cool, thanks for listening. 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.920 So anyway, actually I got two things I wanted to 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:51.520 ask you about. But first one is I'd like to 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:56.960 doubtail dub tail. Yeah, up the last caller. And I'm 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:58.720 not saying that the trail of tears is a good thing, 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.240 but I kind of like Andrew Jackson said when the 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.360 Supreme Court said he couldn't do it, he said something 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.680 to the effect of, like, well, if the Supreme Court 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.240 wants to send their army to stop mine, they're welcome to, 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:11.200 you know, And if Trump wants to go, you know, 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.520 we're going to just build the wall. And if these 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.760 judges want to get an army together to stop our 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.280 as well, you know, they're welcome to do that if 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.840 they like. But in the meantime, we're going to build 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.280 the wall, and it's eight tenths of one percent of 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.920 the military budget. So you say, the generals and the 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.200 Joint Chief, Hey, can you guys get by on ninety 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:33.640 nine point two percent of your budget? Yeah? I mean 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:37.000 this is why the idea that they can't afford or 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:40.720 they shouldn't spend this money is bizarre, right, I mean, 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:46.680 no person could take this seriously. Obama did his stibulus, 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.240 and you know, he said shovel ready jobs, and at 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.400 the end of it, there were no shovel ready jobs. 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.720 That was eight hundred billions, so you basically could have 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:57.400 built I think, what is it, one hundred and sixty 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:01.040 walls for what Obama's stimulus that did nothing but enriched 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:05.840 Democrat donor machines around the country. You know, one thing 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.640 that the Democrats don't understand this process is that without 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.520 a border fence, the rest of the immigration picture can 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.160 never be dealt with, because it just means wave after 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:19.040 wave of demands for amnesty because you're gonna keep having 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.359 there's a caravan at ten thousand right now on their 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.919 way to the southern border. We're gonna keep having this problem. 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:31.480 Think about this book. If the Democrats figure out a 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.720 way to get rid of the electoral college, and California, 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.560 just just California says, you know what, We're gonna let 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.080 a legals vote, then that that's it for the Republicans 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:45.600 forever four yeah, or together and there are I'm amazed 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.520 at how much Democrats embrace the no no electric college. 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:49.760 But we only got about a minute. But that you 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:51.960 have one other point you wanted to make. I wanted 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.200 to ask you about the abortion thing, right, and I 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:56.600 I like your opinion on things, and I want to 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:58.719 kind of just play Devil's advocate, you know. So they 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.760 make abortion legal until the ninth month, and that's horrific 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.120 and I'm against that, even though you know, I'm basically 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:08.640 pro choice, but our women. Do you really believe women 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.840 are out there waiting until you know, the beginning of 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:14.440 a ninth, ninth month and then going, you know what, 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:18.199 just not in the mood. I think anything that happens 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:24.320 that far along is because something horrifically bad has happened. Medically, well, 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:28.120 there's but as I said, there's no medical situation where 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.680 you have to abort a baby in the third trimester. 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:34.720 There's only induced labor, which is not an abortion. So 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:37.359 we gotta leave it there because we've got a break here. 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:41.119 But I'll be back now. Once the President signs the 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:44.520 continuing resolution, we in Congress will roll up our sleeves 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:48.560 and try to find some agreement on boorder security. We 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:52.560 don't agree on some of the specifics aborder security. Democrats 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:56.040 are firmly against the wall, but we agree on many things, 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.560 such as the need for drug inspection technology, humanitarian aid, 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:03.280 strength in security at our ports of entry, and that 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.520 bodes well for finding an eventual agreement. The fact that 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:10.040 we have so many areas where we can agree. But 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.760 today the President will sign the bill to reopen the 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:18.119 government along the outlines of what we have proposed. You 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:22.879 know what they really oppose, stopping illegals from crossing the 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:26.840 southern border. You notice they'll talk about security at our 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:32.080 ports of entry, okay, but there are places where the 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:37.040 separation between Mexico and the US is just other a 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:41.359 small fence or no fence, and people cross there all 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:48.080 the time. People cross in the hundreds, depending on the incident. 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.639 Hundreds of thousands of them are crossing a year, and 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:54.760 the Democrats just don't want to stop that. So when 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:59.200 they say border security, how is it secure, they fundamentally 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:03.320 do not apt that there is an obligation of law 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:08.119 enforcement to stop people from entering the United States because 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:11.160 we do not want them to come into the country illegally. 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:14.680 They just don't. They don't believe in that. And those 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:15.920 of you who haven't seen it, you can see. I 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:18.600 had to debate Charlie Sykes on this a couple of 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:21.879 days or what was it yesterday, and he started getting 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:25.159 very huffy, which he should probably slow his role a 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:29.640 little bit on that one, and I started to just say, 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:32.359 went into the superior knowledge of the border, which is 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:36.440 a good thing to have. This state of California takes 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.119 active steps to make it impossible for the border patrol 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:41.360 and for immigration and Customs enforcement to do their job. 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:44.080 They make it as hard as possible. When you're doing 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:47.760 something to make something as hard as possible, you are 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:50.280 telling people something about how you feel about that thing. 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:52.600 And when you make it as difficult as possible for 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:57.080 law enforcement to both prevent illegal entry and police illegal 0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:00.920 entry in the interior by legal aliens, if somebody told 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:02.879 me they they're calling them legal aliens is racist, and 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:05.280 I just I have to laugh at this. That's what 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:08.200 the federal law says. If Congress wants to change it, 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:14.040 so they're called, you know, individuals without explicit permission of 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.120 the federal government to be on US soil. Will come 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:19.000 up with an acronym and I'll say that, but the 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.639 Federal code says a legal alien. So I prefer to 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:26.920 be correct. And people come in they say undocumented, Like, no, 0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:31.639 I'm sorry, this is your politicized nonsense term, you know. 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:33.360 I mean, I'll sit down and I'll have a conversation 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:35.560 to the other side about whether they're they're I'll refer 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:37.560 to though their movement as pro choice. I mean, they're 0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:39.439 pro abortion, but I mean they're going to call themselves 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:42.119 pro choice. Fine, you know, I don't sit there and 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:45.000 say so, you're you're a part of the baby killer movement, 0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:50.159 although that would be accurate, you know, I you know, 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:51.879 you don't get it as change the language because you 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:54.359 feel like it, make up the words because that's what 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:57.800 you feel like doing. That's that's not an acceptable way 0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:00.600 to engage in political debate and discord. But you know, 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:03.200 Schumer says, they're opposed to they're opposed to the wall, 0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:05.320 and I guarantee you. If he got pinned down by 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:08.080 somebody on why are you posting the wall, he would say, well, 0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:11.400 because the four thousand concrete. We're past the four or sorry, 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:14.200 two thousand, four thousand. We're gonna have a wall to China. 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:18.719 We're past the two thousand mile solid brick wall idea 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:25.199 or concrete wall, We're past that. That's not the effective 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:32.080 barrier method. What you really want is steel slat fencing. Okay, 0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:34.840 that's the most effective border patrol has it. They've been 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:38.040 building more of it. That's the most effective one, and 0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:41.879 it works. I've seen it work. But you see, they 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:44.879 returned to the talking points. They returned to the safe 0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:48.160 harbor of propaganda as a means of trying to avoid 0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:51.320 having to deal with the substance of the issue. They 0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:54.639 don't want to deal with the substance. All right, lines lit, 0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:57.119 I know, I would say, take Holson's Friday bill in 0:22:57.560 --> 0:23:01.120 West Virginia, What is up, my friend? Thanks for taking 0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:03.800 my call. Hey, yeah, the federal employee union members, they 0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:06.240 must be whims in it. You know, the federal unions 0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:10.200 most probably donated funds, which is union member dues to 0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:13.840 elect the House Democrats. The union leaders and House Democrats. 0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:16.399 They've been using the members as pawns in it. The 0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:20.359 members on to beyond their their union leaders in it 0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:23.800 to get the House Demps to settle and get them paid. 0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:28.080 The member of convers aren't losing any money. Wait, so 0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:30.560 you're gonna have to explain this one of me again. 0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:32.320 I'm sorry, I caught a last unit. Who are you're 0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:34.480 upset at the at the who and the why? Well, okay, 0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:40.280 the the federal union, Uh, the federal employees unions right 0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:45.320 their their their leadership probably donated money to the Democrats 0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:49.119 for their election. Yeah, federal employees are effectively a subsidiary 0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:52.639 in the Democratic Party. Now, I mean overwhelmingly civilian federal 0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:54.760 employees or Democrats. I mean you look at the giving 0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:57.960 to Hillary Clinton and it was like over ninety percent 0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:00.159 of federal employees that gave gave it Hillary clin in 0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:02.120 the last election. To go ahead. But that's the only 0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:05.320 thought about their their members, the union leaders and the 0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:09.040
