WEBVTT - All Out Political War 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:16.520 You are entering the freedom hunt. Mid terms are done, 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:21.000 the fight for begins. Democrats gained control of the House 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:24.759 of Representatives. The Republicans gained a few seats in the Senate. 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:28.680 This is now an all out political war, my friends. 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:32.760 Let's talk about the showdown that begins now. This is 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:36.040 the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:43.680 to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Magnorma stake American, 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:52.000 You're a great American. Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins. 0:00:48.560 --> 0:01:03.040 An No, it was a pretty good night last night, 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:09.679 all things considered. Republicans broke with history and we're able 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:15.800 to prevent the Democrats from overrunning them. We're able to 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:19.760 not just keep their lead in the Senate, but at 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:21.520 a few seats to it. As I'm sure you know, 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.440 the whole country has been well, most of the country 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.840 has been thinking about this since the results came in 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:29.319 last night. I know it's not not breaking news for you. 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.400 The Democrats win the House. We know that we've been 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.560 aware of that now for a number of hours. But 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.920 the implications for this are are profound, um and I 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.720 will get into them. There's some very important breakdown of this. 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.040 We have to be together. First, why was it that 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:50.640 the Democrats did not have what was expected? Oh? What 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.600 was expected? Again? That's right? A blue wave was what 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:59.240 Now they're saying, oh, nobody really expected that. Uh we 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.920 we remember, we know that there was going to be 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:08.079 a blue wave. We remember that. That's um, that was 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:12.359 the way that this was supposed to go. And then 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.839 last night, sure enough we had to hear this play. 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.920 Eleven Democrats did hope for a big blue wave that 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:23.080 is not happening. There's no blue wave. Is it a 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:24.680 blue wave? What do you want to call it? It 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.919 may not be a blue wave. It's a rainbow wave. 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.040 It's not a wave. It's not a wave. It is 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.080 not going to be that blue wave landslide. It's not 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.480 going to be a wave. This blue wave that clearly 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.679 does not seem to be materializing. I don't know whether 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.919 we won't call it a wave, but it's a blue move, 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.280 a blue ripple. You can't call it a wave if 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.239 you don't have a big statewide wind anywhere. How do 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:47.840 you call it a wave? If you don't win Florida, 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.079 How do you call it a wave if you don't 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:53.280 win Missouri? Yeah, it's not a wave. So so it 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.799 would be bad to call it one um and those 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.760 who were saying, well, that wasn't the expectation. Ah, we 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:01.800 have we have this thing called the Internet, so we 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.880 can actually track down what they were saying. Play sixteen. 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.280 The wave is building. The question is just how big. 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.040 We're standing on a beach looking out at the ocean 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.320 and we're seeing what looks like a really really really 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.760 big wave because it's going to be a democratic wave 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:19.360 or a democratic tsunami, a blue wave. There's a wave 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.280 out there. Are we going to see a wave, the 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.960 wave election, a blue wave, a blue wave, the democratic wave. 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.560 That's going to be a democratic wave, an anti Trump wave. 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:31.239 There is a wave coming, the tidal wave coming. Likely 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.160 that the Democrats have. The blue wave, this blue wave 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.160 that has going across this country. It's like that Will 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.520 cry will blue wave in November. The blue wave is okay, 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.120 you get, but we get the idea. Right. They were 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:44.960 all saying it. They were all saying it, but it 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.680 didn't happen. Now they say they didn't say it because 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.440 if all of them were so wrong, maybe there was 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.520 some bias at work. Maybe there was a reason that 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.920 they were off in their calibrations. Maybe it's not just 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:03.760 that this was a surprise to them based on their analysis, 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:05.800 but maybe they were more hopeful than anything else that 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.160 there would be a wave um but there was not. 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:12.960 Now a few very important takeaways from last night. First 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:19.280 of all, Trump is still highly effective at campaigning for 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:23.680 other people. It's not just the sen was the Trump election, 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.640 and we got obviously the House and the Senate, and 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:30.320 there was this moment of a revolt against the elites 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.680 and and against leftism and the left word tilt of 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:37.080 the country that had gone on almost unabated for eight 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:41.039 years of the Obama administration. It wasn't just that. It 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.239 was also that last night we find that President Trump 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:49.120 is effective, his base is still with him, there is 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.880 still hope in the agenda and that it will continue 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:57.560 to be implemented. And the Democrats put a tremendous amount 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.840 of money and activism and organization and celebrities and all 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:02.919 this stuff into At the end of the day, this 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.200 is the best they could do at a time when 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.520 they're telling us that the country is under threat down 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:13.360 to its very foundations. They have been proclaiming. And those 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.440 of you listen to the show, no because I play 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.440 their crazy clips on the air, that this democracy is 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.560 under threat, that Trump is undermoting our institutions, that he's 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:25.960 a racist, a misogynist, a rapist, a fascist, a Russian agent, 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:30.839 all this crazy stuff, and an imbecile and should be 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.280 removed by the twenty And they they just spew all 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.200 this hateful nonsense and then tell us that the president 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:41.839 is hateful. They say all of this and then turn 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.120 around and pretend that they're the ones who are being adults. 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:50.640 But in that environment, this is the best they could do. 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:56.240 Losing even more control of the Senate, and you know, 0:05:56.440 --> 0:06:00.440 winning winning a majority, but by no means a passive, 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:06.560 defining majority in the House representatives. What does that tell 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.159 you about their judgment when it comes to where this 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.360 country really is. What does it tell you about their 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.080 ability to be taken seriously about the Democrat and the 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:21.279 left right, to be thought of as real voices in 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:25.960 the national conversation that aren't just overcome with envy and 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:32.839 frustration and rage and delusion. All these big races we 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:38.800 were told about last night, Gillham, Abrams, O Rourke, Oh 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:43.080 my gosh, all these superstars and winning lost. They all lost. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:49.720 Someone telling me, by the way, why is it that young, telegenic, 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.920 charismatic African American former fighter Polee John James in Michigan 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:58.840 received probably one one of the media coverage leading up 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:04.039 the election that also young tellogenic, charismatic African American Gilham 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.560 received in Florida. Oh, that's right. One is a Republican, 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.960 the others a Democrat, a leftist at that, I mean, 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:16.040 a real Bernie Sanders style Democrat. But as much as 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:20.040 they don't want to admit it, last night was a 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.640 wake up call for Democrats. This is going to be 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:29.200 even harder than they thought. They had to assume, whether 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.120 they were willing to say so publicly or not, that 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:39.360 the two years of Russia collusion, conspiracy mongering, the two 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.960 years of Trump is a white nationalist. He's speaking in 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:49.960 dog whistles all the time. This just unrelenting negative media coverage. 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.360 That that had to have changed perceptions by about people 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.280 who are open to new information. Right, It just you 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:02.600 would assume by information osmosis over a period of time, 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.080 people say, well, I mean there must be something wrong 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.360 with Trump, right, look at what they're saying. It's all negative, 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:11.160 it's all terrible. Oh no, A lot of us know 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.800 that they are the fake news, and they are the 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.880 enemy of truth, a phrase that you've heard probably first 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:20.640 here on this show, and now other people have picked 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:25.160 up too. They are the enemy of truth. They undermine 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:30.960 truth and honesty and integrity and authenticity every day. And 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.040 in fact, I think they embrace it now because they 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:37.320 find it to be useful. They view themselves as in 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.720 an all out war against the president United States, and 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.240 so anything that is another weapon in that arsenal must 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:48.360 be embraced, no matter how disgraceful, no matter how damaging. 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:55.840 So now I sit here and think about what we're 0:08:55.880 --> 0:09:02.320 going to be subjected to by Democrats going forward. It 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.480 is going to be ugly because last night the American 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:11.479 people and the Democrats and the leftists minds there were disappointment. 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:16.760 The leftists are disappointed in America right now. They thought 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.280 that there would be a repudiation of Trump, and there 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:23.160 is no way they can say that it was a 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.720 repudiation of Trump. In fact, given what happens historically when 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:30.000 people just want change and the people in power that 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.240 have disappointed individuals who felt like they would get more 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.720 willing are willing to change and just want to try 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.760 the other side. Right there's all these trends, all these 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.720 dynamics that favor of the Democrats, and with that going 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:47.440 on to lose Senate seats in the balance and to 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.960 pick up whatever it is, thirty or so seats in 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.120 the House. I mean, some of this is still there's 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.080 some I think there's some recounts being talked about. Some 0:09:55.080 --> 0:10:01.600 of this is still outstanding. Um, that to me is 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:08.440 anything but some kind of huge SmackDown of Trump and 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.400 what he has done. In fact, it is really an 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.720 affirmation of the political movement that you and I have 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:19.360 been supporting now since the day Trump took office, well 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.640 many of you since the day Trump announced for president, 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.079 and you were you were visionaries. You saw it coming 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:30.200 long before many of the rest of us did. So 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:38.439 last night was a good defensive maneuver at a time 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.840 when the Democrats were inevitably going to be on offense. 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.840 It was a stalemate. If this was a boxing match, 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.120 you would say that it was a split decision. And 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:54.520 everything now points to and it's not just the people 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.360 in the political class and uh, you know, journals and 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.040 analysts and all the all the rest that are do 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.440 you think about because everything that you see now until 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:09.600 then until that next election day is going to be 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:14.880 colored by this fight between Democrats and Republicans. There is 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.920 very little now of real substance that the president is 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:22.160 going to be able to do that involves Congress. We'll 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:26.600 talk a bit more during the show today about people 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:32.559 to healthcare, maybe infrastructure package. You know, anything is anything 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:38.880 is possible. Sure, anything could happen, but I don't think 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:45.960 anything will happen. You will see a ferocious anti Trump 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:52.679 resistance that is able now because they finally have control 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:57.000 of one branch of government, is able to indulge all 0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:02.959 of their wildest fantasies about Trump Russia collusion. Is able 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:09.120 to be vindictive, seek to settle scores, and it is 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:12.240 going to be nasty. It is going to be a 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:17.040 very tough fight. Now, I want to tell you about 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.640 why I think last night happened the way that it didn't. Obviously, 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:23.959 for me, the two biggest factors were, well, you could 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:31.720 say three one the economy, two Trump, three the Kavanaugh effect. 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.360 Let's talk about the cabin affect, and then I'll address 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.400 where all this is going. And of course, the resignation 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.160 requested resignation of my buddy Jeff Sessions as Attorney General 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.200 to miss Jeff. I liked him. I know some of 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.400 you are disappointed he didn't do more on Russia collusion, 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:50.280 but he recused himself. Once you recuse yous over, you 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:54.480 can't unrecuse yourself. So but Jeff Sessions, as you know, 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.760 was out. That was the big breaking news. Like that 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.680 happened later on today. Trump is he's cleaning house after 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.280 the election, just as we all expected him to. But 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:08.880 that has important implications that that gives us a sense 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.400 of where things are going to. Mueller is going to 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.000 be a name you hear a lot more in the 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.200 weeks and months ahead, probably months. As much as I 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.720 hate to say it, the Russia collusion investigation is going 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:21.559 to go back at the top of the headlines. Again. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.160 It's gonna be a whole shift. We should prepare for it. 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:25.600 But I do want to take a moment we come 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:30.440 back to just discuss Kavanaugh and what that meant in 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.520 this election, and also what it tells us about what 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.920 the fight ahead will look like. Stay with me, team, 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:41.120 We'll be right back. The observations on the Kavanaugh effect 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:46.680 very helpful. Yeah, I think the Republican sort of core 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:51.160 voters in the States that were critical to us. We're 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.160 highly offended by the questioning of the presumption of innocence 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.480 and the tactics, and I think it was like an 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:01.360 adrenaline shop. We were worried bad lack of intensity on 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.280 our side, and I think the Kavanaugh I've certainly provided 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.520 that it was extremely helpful. It's noteworthy that the one 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:11.440 Democrat and a red state who survived voted for her Kavanaugh. 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.280 The Kavanaugh effect was one of the biggest lessons of 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:21.840 the mid term. And as you know, I speak with 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:25.160 particular pride on this issue as somebody with all of 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.880 your support, who was as vocal as I could be 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.120 and in contact with the White House and people on 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.360 Capitol Hill about how we needed to back Kavanaugh. Stands 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.400 strong with Kavanaugh and that women were lying about him 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:40.040 as part of a character assassination the likes of whist 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.320 of which this country had really never seen before, at 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:48.600 least not in my lifetime. It was appalling. It was 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:52.320 painful to watch a good man have his reputation destroyed 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:59.880 on such flimsy pretext and such obvious motivation. But you know, 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:05.320 the good news is that normal Americans don't appreciate the 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:11.440 ritualized humiliation of a respected husband, father, and jurist, the 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:18.840 amusement and political satisfaction of the pink hat maniacs Justice Kavanaugh. 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.760 It's good to say it now, isn't it not, Judge Kavanaugh. 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:29.600 Justice Kavanaugh stood strong and he fought back. It's not 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:32.240 just that members of the Senate, and thank you, Lindsey 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.520 Graham did the right thing for the GOP. In the GOP, 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.680 it was also that Kavanaugh realized he was backed into 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:41.960 a corner and they were about to finish him off. 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:47.360 And they were so angry and so full of vitriol 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:52.400 and hate about his performance because they knew they were 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.520 just they had him. They they were so close to 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.400 finishing off Kavanaugh in front of the whole country, in 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:02.760 front of over twenty million people watching those sham hearings, 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:08.360 that embarrassment to the Senate, and he, in front of 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.880 his wife and his children, all of his colleagues and friends, 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.200 found the strength to stand and fight for his honor 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:21.280 and the truth. Because he did that, we now have 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:26.960 a conservative constitutional sitting on the Supreme Court, and we 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:32.600 have a conservative Republican majority in the Senate. If you 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:34.400 have any doubt about that, let me just share with 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:39.160 you the following as McConnell said. Joe Manchin, a Democrat, 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.320 Yes on Cavanaugh. He got reelected in West Virginia last night, 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:49.680 but hide Camp went no on Kavanaugh. She lost in 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:56.920 North Dakota. Mccaskell no on Kavanaugh, lost in Missouri. Donnelly 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:04.560 no on Kavanaugh, defeated in Indian Anna. Voters of of 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:08.959 good conscience and good sense punished cowards in the Senate 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:13.120 for doing the wrong thing, and as a result of that, 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:17.840 we now have a strong Senate majority and probably lost 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:24.040 ten to fifteen fewer House seats because of Kavanaugh. But 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:30.280 also we understand who the enemy is here and how 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:35.080 they will fight what they're willing to do. We must 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:38.960 understand that Kavanaugh was really just a symptom of the 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:43.760 larger disease of all out personal destruction at the hands 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.639 of leftists. That is what they now seek to do 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:52.800 to regain power. Their arguments are garbage, their positions are laughable. 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.480 They claim to embrace science when they rejected. They claim 0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:59.840 to want to bring more healthcare to more people, and 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:04.080 they don't understand the basic math involved. So how do 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:09.600 you think they're gonna win through a campaign? Of humiliation 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.920 and individualized terror, just like what they did to Kavanaugh 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:18.040 whenever there is a political motivation for them to do so. 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:24.159 Kavanaugh was a harbinger of what is to come, not 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:27.320 just in the months they had over the next two years. 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.520 Thank god he stood in fight, and thank Heavens for 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:35.199 all of you who supported that fight and who voted 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.840 to support that fight team. We got a couple of 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:41.199 calls up, let's get to here for some of the folks. 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:46.399 Charlie in Saulisbury, Maryland, what's up, Charlie, Hey, thanks for calling. 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.080 Let me call you Buck, thank you for calling in. 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.040 What's on your mind? Yeah? I was listening to a 0:18:52.119 --> 0:19:00.000 couple deals with Trump's interviews with reporters and won't report 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:04.720 were asking about, you know, the investigation since Nancy will 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:08.960 probably be speaker and stuff like that, and he said, well, 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:12.040 you know, we're not done with our investigations, and he 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:16.600 named off, you know, like the server and missing emails 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:20.560 and comy and that, and then the next reporter I 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:24.440 think it was an extra maybe too too later that 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:32.200 person asked about um going now get a brain fusion? Yeah, okay, 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:34.399 A bunch of different investigations being asked about sure, So 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:36.119 are you asking me should Trump do this? Is this 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.639 the right way to go to essentially tell them that 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:43.240 there will be investigatory retaliation in response. I mean the 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.880 answer is yeah, that that he should tell them that because, 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:52.760 for example, the Hillary Clinton email investigation, she wasn't cleared. 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.199 They just chose not to bring charges against her. They 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:58.080 could reopen that and look at more more information and 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.440 decide that they might have a different outcome here. So 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.120 you know, if the Democrats want to play rough, they 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.160 should know that Trump and the Republicans will play rough 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:09.440 in response. And that's the only way I mean, that's 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:11.360 the only way you can deal with the left. If 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:15.000 you show any weakness, they exploited. The second question to 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:21.320 him was about declassifying the documents, and they don't understand Trump. 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:27.640 He he's got all the cards. Well he's he's held 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:30.680 that back. And by the way, I think that people have, 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:33.280 you know, including myself, have said I'm frustrated. I wish 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:36.040 you would. I asked the president to his face. We 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:37.800 had a conversation about it. I as him, I said, well, 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:39.879 will you release the documents? He said he's going to, 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:42.240 but then he got pushed back, and I think he's 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:44.879 holding it back because he wants to see, you know, 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:47.560 the release of the stuff that he's got, I think 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:49.720 would have a lot it would be a lot of 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:51.560 egg on the face of the d o J. The 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:55.840 FBI would look really bad. But better to to hold 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:59.160 it until you need it. And he might wait until 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:02.920 the Mala report comes out and then as a response 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:06.080 to the Muller report, drop that. Now, think about how 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:11.960 that goes, right, So, so you know, he's you know exactly, 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:13.760 I mean, but you think about this when when people 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:15.679 always talking about Tump playing five D chests. I mean, 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:17.840 I actually used to political chess growing up. I was Okay, 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:20.240 it wasn't very good. Uh, but you don't want to 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:23.040 pull your queen out too early, you know. And and 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:26.639 I think in this whole Russia collusion investigation, the queen 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:28.879 that Trump has, so to speak, is that he can 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:31.720 declassify this stuff and just show what a sham the 0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:34.320 whole thing is. So let it play out, right, let 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:36.280 Mueller do what he's doing. The moment that all of 0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:39.080 a sudden Mueller starts trying to subpoen at Trump's uh, 0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:41.560 you know, financial records or something. Then all of a 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:44.400 sudden he goes, Okay, now let's let people know what's 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:46.119 really going on here. So I think he's trying to 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:48.119 be strategic about it, and I do think there are 0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:52.600 concerns about third party until essentially, are our foreign partners 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:54.480 giving us information that we don't We don't want to 0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:56.320 burn them, right, It's like a journalist doesn't want to 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:58.920 burn a source. So though journalists will burn sources, they 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:01.359 make a big deal out of that depends on what 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:03.800 side of the all the sources on. Thanks for calling in, Charlie, 0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:08.720 Dean up in Boston. What's up Boston, Hey, brother Buck. 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:12.439 Three things I personally took away from last night. The 0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:15.040 first is I noticed that the old GOP that all 0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:17.200 stepped aside the big masses, so do the media told 0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:19.119 them they were going to lose years ago, they said, okay, 0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:23.200 we're leaving. So the recognition wasn't out there, their war chest, 0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:26.040 money wasn't out there. So still we did as well 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:28.720 as we did without all of that. The second part 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.840 was we sent out a president with a record in 0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:34.880 two years, and that's all we sent out. They sent 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:38.639 They put the Clintons in the closet, Bot Obama, OPRA, Hollywood, 0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.040 all of the money, you know, hundreds of millions of 0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:45.240 dollars from the mega donors the media, and still that's 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:47.720 all they came up with. So now today they have 0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:50.800 to start run into You can't turn on the record 0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:53.160 of last night and go back to Omega donors and say, oh, 0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:55.360 we need another half a billion dollars for two years 0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:58.640 from now. At some point, these these people are gonna say, 0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:01.440 I don't know, I don't know this this I think 0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:03.160 I'm back in the wrong. We'll see it. Maybe I'll 0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:05.000 just sit this next one. Well, Dean, think about it. 0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:09.399 They's been seventy million dollars to lose one sentence seat 0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:13.560 in Texas. Ever to lose the race. What is that? 0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:17.600 This is crazy. Seventy million dollars that's just all going 0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:21.200 to media buys basically, so they saturated the Texas media 0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:23.720 market with Beto Betto, Oh we need Betto and then 0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:27.000 he loses Ted Cruise. By the way, it was too close, 0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:29.320 Ted Cruise. You know I've been saying he's going with 0:23:29.359 --> 0:23:31.000 my Ted Ted. Tedd needs to step up his game 0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:33.480 a little bit. He needed to make an example of 0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:36.680 Betto trying to trying to sneak into the Republicans kitchen 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:39.840 there and and steal a seat. I mean, uh, he 0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:41.640 can't let that. He can't let that one goes. I'm 0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:45.160 a little I'm a little disappointed with with the marginal 0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:47.400 victory for Teddy. Yeah, he won, I'm happy for him, 0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:49.560 but he should have won by at least six or 0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:51.199 seven points. I mean, to win by I think he 0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:55.280 won by three maybe four. Not enough, not enough against 0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:59.760 a betto the billionaire who is a fake Latino essentially, 0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:01.320 and that's how he's running the whole thing. It's just 0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:05.240 it's just bizarre. But Dean, there'll be a lot of money, unfortunately, 0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:07.160 a lot of liberal billionaires who are trying to they're 0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:11.320 trying to buy their their their passage to Nirvana by 0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:13.439 you know, spending on these leftist candidates. Thank you for 0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:15.679 calling her from Boston, my friend. You know, Kelly and 0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:18.679 Conway made a very very important point. The media. You know, 0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:21.240 the media is such a funny relationship with her. They 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:23.119 can have her on air enough, but they're always like, oh, 0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:24.679 I don't know about Kelly and Conway, you know, at 0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:28.280 CNN and and all these other places. But Trump did 0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:30.800 make the difference, and Kelly made that case play three, 0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:33.600 and there's no question that his presence on the campaign 0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:35.840 trail made the difference. In fact, he went five for 0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:38.439 five and just his stops from Sunday and Monday alone. 0:24:38.480 --> 0:24:41.879 I was with him yesterday. There's three stops on the Monday, 0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:43.800 all three of the candidates he stumps for in three 0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:47.240 very different states, for a governorship of Ohio and also 0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:50.040 two Senate seats in Indiana and Missoura, both of which 0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:52.760 are pickups from the Democrats. And I think when a 0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:56.560 president in power has the Senate, it's easier to get 0:24:56.640 --> 0:24:59.960 through judicial nominations. You've seen that's when I've been big 0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:02.160 mark of his success in the first two years in office, 0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:05.040
