1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Yet another supposed bombshell 2 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: from the New York Times that just hit over the 3 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: weekend that has people asking an insane question, is President 4 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: Trump really a Manchurian candidate for Russia? I can't believe 5 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: we're back here dealing with this delusion, but we are. 6 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: What does it say about where the Muller probe is 7 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: going and what the crazy Democrats led by Pelosi and 8 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: Schumer have up their sleeves next, as well as what's 9 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: coming up on the shutdown? That and more on The 10 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where 11 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: the mission or mission is to decode what really matters 12 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a great American. Again, 13 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show begins. Analyst, Remember then, I never 14 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: worked for Russia. And you know that answer better than anybody. 15 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: I never worked for Russia. Not only did I never 16 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: work for Russia. I think it's a disgrace that you 17 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: even asked that question because it's a whole, big fat hoax. 18 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: It's just a hoax. Welcome to the Buck section Show, everybody. 19 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: This is a crazy time in this country. It's in 20 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: a sense, it's it's not new. But here we are 21 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: dealing with the fact that we have libs who are 22 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: so deluded and such a bunch of cry babies about 23 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: what's going on in America that they really think that 24 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: the president of the United States is working on behalf 25 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: of Russia. I can't even conjure up how this, how 26 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: this makes any sense. I know that they always get 27 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: this old man afford and why do people lie in Papadopolis? 28 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: And it's it's like watching the guy from a beautiful mind, right, 29 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: things on the wall, right, remember that with Russell Crowe. 30 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: He's just writing all these things on the wall, and 31 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: he thinks he's some secret agent man and he's got 32 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: these crazy algorithms. Every time I ask a liberal, what 33 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: exactly do you think happened here? What's what's really the 34 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: situation that is at the heart of all of these 35 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: allegations and just this this frenzy that President Trump is 36 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: somehow looking for a foreign power, an agent of a 37 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: foreign power. You know what, what could have pushed people 38 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: to think this? I get some jumbled Oh, you know, 39 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: Papadopolis and Carter Page and the Trump Tower Moscow and 40 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: Stormy Daniels' like wait, how did Stormy daniels Er gibberish? 41 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: It's just gibberish. It never adds up to anything. Let's 42 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: let's just start for some some very clear and an 43 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: irrefutable positions on this right. For one, the notion that 44 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: Donald Trump would have in any way gone through an 45 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: intermediary or asked anybody to help him win the election 46 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: against Hillary Clinton, to put himself at that degree of 47 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: risk for such preposterously low gain does not make sense. 48 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 1: No person would do this. Oh yeah, you're you're going 49 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: to expose yourself to Russian Russian blackmail, to being found 50 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: out by the liberal media that hates you, to possible prosecution, 51 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: imprisonment indefinitely, the destruction of your reputation and character so 52 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: that some of Podesta's emails can get out, so that 53 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: there can be a more effective Russian Facebook ad buying 54 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: campaign spend you know, a few hundred thousand dollars on 55 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: this whole effort, all in all, across the board. That 56 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: just makes no sense. There's no reason. This would be 57 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 1: like someone saying I think that this guy walked into 58 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: the bank and robbed it, and I say, well, why 59 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: do you think that as well? He's got a dollar 60 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: in his bank account. I think he got it from 61 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: the bank. I said, well, I don't think that robbing 62 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: a bank for a dollar makes sense for anybody. So 63 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: let's just look at motive here. There's no reason for 64 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: President Trump to have, at any stage of this worked 65 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: with colluded with the Russians. It fundamentally makes no sense. 66 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: It's a dumb idea. Now, Okay, they can go beyond that, 67 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: and they can say, oh, but Buck, you don't understand 68 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: Trump is so reckless and he will do anything, and 69 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: they didn't know any better at all this stuff. And 70 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: I say, okay, fine, Now let's assume, just for the 71 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: sake of discussion that that is true. And really we're 72 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: getting back to first principles here in the Russia collusion delusion. 73 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: Let's assume for a moment that that's true, that Trump 74 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 1: would be willing to engage in this collusion scheme to 75 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: win the election, which is insane, But let's just pretend. 76 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: Then you have to convince me how it is possible 77 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: that with the most intrusive and sophisticated surveillance apparatus on 78 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: the planet, the United States intelligence community and US federal 79 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: law enforcement, with all of its capabilities, which are effectively 80 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: just it's an intelligence it's an intelligence arm of the 81 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: government that has to operate under laws. Although I'll note 82 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: that once the FBI gets into the counter intelligence realm, 83 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: it really does operate a lot like an m I 84 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: five or one of these domestic intelligence agencies that's legal, 85 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: but kind of quasi legal. It starts to operate in 86 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: the gray areas a lot more, which clearly happened here. 87 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: So then you have to give it to me that, oh, 88 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: with all of that surveillance here, we are going on 89 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: two years into this thing, and the worst that they 90 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,119 Speaker 1: can come up with is that Manafort may have given 91 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: some unspecified polling data to a Ukrainian not a Russian 92 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: friend of his when he was running the campaign and 93 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump Junior and Jared Kushner and Manafort met with 94 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: a woman who said she had oppo research on Hillary 95 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: Clinton that she wanted to share. Neither of which are 96 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: even vaguely criminal acts, not even a little bit, nothing 97 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: criminal about either one of those things at all, full stop, period. 98 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: That's the most that they can offer up. And I 99 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: would note neither one of which would even raise any 100 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: eyebrows had we not been conditioned by a hysterical left 101 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: wing Democrat media apparatus to act in all things Russia 102 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: require some kind of nuclear ready sponse. I think I 103 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 1: saw on Twitter today, you know, the Democrats in the 104 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: span of about six years went from haham at Romney, 105 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union's done, the Cold War is over to 106 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,239 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you need to invade Moscow tomorrow. These 107 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: people are a joke, but it's unfortunately very unfunny because 108 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: they're having really damage, a really damaging impact, and long 109 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: term ramifications. I think on this country. They are tearing 110 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: apart at some of these institutions that we're supposed to 111 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: be able to believe in, and you have people that 112 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: are getting platforms to say crazy things. Carl Bernstein of 113 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: Woodward and Bernstein fame just goes on CNN to speculate 114 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: wildly about how Trump is essentially a Putin puppet play 115 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: clip four. We don't know the answers, but what we 116 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: do know is that Donald Trump has tried to convince 117 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: us that unless there is some kind of smoking gun, 118 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: were recording of him in the room with Putin saying yes, Vladimer, 119 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: I'll do you bidding. There's been quote no collusion, that's nonsense. 120 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: What this counterintelligence investigation was about unprecedented the FBI. And 121 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: this is not about the deep state. This is about 122 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: the most serious counterintelligence people we have in the US 123 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: government saying, Oh my god. The president's words and actions 124 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: lead us to conclude that somehow he has become a winning, 125 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: unwinning or half winning pawn. Certainly in some regards to 126 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: Vladimer Putin, he is not acted with Russia from the 127 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: United States having a strength advantage with Russia. Rather, he 128 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: has done what appears to be Putin's goals. He has 129 00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: helped everything stabilized the UN. I just want to Everything 130 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: that he's saying is laughable, garbage, It's just crap. Notice 131 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: how he switches from there must be collusion too. He's 132 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: doing Putin's bidding. That is a leap that is transforming 133 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: the conversation from being about possible insidious dealings between President 134 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: Trump and the Russians. Two, he's doing stuff that either 135 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: the Democrats don't like or just doing stuff that Russia 136 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,479 Speaker 1: agrees is a good idea. Guess what yet, idiot Democrats. 137 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: Sometimes Russia wants things to be done that are actually good. 138 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: Does that and we agree with him. Does that mean 139 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: we shouldn't do them? For all the people are saying 140 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: we're doing Putin's bidding by leaving Syria, Guess what we 141 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: were doing Putin's bidding by bombing the you know what 142 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 1: out of the Islamic State. Stop thinking in these stupid 143 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: forced frameworks where everything that Trump dos is Russia. Oh, 144 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: the will have lost it. They have lost it there 145 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: in the midst of a hysteria. New York Times report 146 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: on Friday said that there was an investigation of Trump 147 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: opened right after he fired Komi because there were some 148 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 1: people in the FBI who thought that he must be 149 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: doing the work of the Russians. Who does that sound 150 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: like you? By the way, I'd be willing to bear 151 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: that Andy McCabe fired for lying, fired for being a 152 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: little partisan hack at the top of the FBI that 153 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 1: he was pushing this. This is not unprecedented in history 154 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: that we have had an FBI that went rogue and 155 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: that had become a major political player. In fact, if 156 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: you look at most countries around the world, there's always 157 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: a danger of the secret police, which is what our 158 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: FBI really is, becoming too powerful and becoming, in its 159 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: own eyes, a check on the regime. And then eventually, 160 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: and as somebody who used to work at the CIA, 161 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 1: I know quite a bit about this side of the coin. Eventually, 162 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: those secret police organizations often become the government. They supplant 163 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: the government. But before they do that, they usually think 164 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: of themselves as a necessary check on the executive's prerogatives. 165 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: They think of themselves as guardians of the revolution, or 166 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: guardians of the integrity of the state, or the film 167 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: the blank people's right, the national identity of whatever the 168 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: state may be. And then eventually they think, well, maybe 169 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: we should just run this thing. We do have a 170 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: cabal of deep state operatives in this country. Some of 171 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: them have been rooted out, but I don't think all 172 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: of them have. And what the New York Times broke 173 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 1: on Friday, leaked to the Times, I would not was really, 174 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: for those of us who are looking at this with 175 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: open eyes, mere confirmation of what we have known for 176 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: a very long time, that there are people in the 177 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: government who decided that Donald Trump's victory in the presidential 178 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: contest of twenty sixteen was unacceptable, untenable, and had to 179 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: in some way, if not be entirely reversed, at least restrained, 180 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: and they used the power of the federal bureaucracy and 181 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice and the leeway that they have 182 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: to open investigations to do so. No sane person could 183 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: think that the firing of sanctimonious grandstander James Coomey was 184 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: reasoned enough to start an FBI investigation of a sitting 185 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: president of the United States. This is crazy. And then 186 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: that brings me to just another point that I wanted 187 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: to add into it. The collusion fairy tale makes no 188 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: sense that we have no smoking gun evidence of it 189 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,080 Speaker 1: to this day, given what they say about Trump and 190 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 1: given all the resources against him, means that now this 191 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: is like believing space aliens landed and took over the 192 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: White House. I mean, this is just a fantasy. And 193 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: then there's another level of this. How did the Democrats 194 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: explain all of the lies and malfeasans from senior government 195 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 1: officials around this issue? You know, I always hear pal 196 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: why did people lie about about their contacts with Russia? 197 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: Why did people lie about what they said to the 198 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: special counsel, you know, Papadopolis and Manafort, And I always 199 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: want to respond, Okay, why did McCabe lie three times? 200 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: About what he was doing in this process. Why did 201 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: Lisa Page have to be exposed for being an anti 202 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: Trump partisan in this way? Why did Peter Struck have 203 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: to be fired? I mean you had Woodward there or Bernstein, sorry, 204 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: the other guy, Bernstein saying the top counterintelligence people. Yeah, 205 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: the FBI's best counterintelligence men were on this, and Peter 206 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: Struck is one of them. And if you don't think 207 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: think that that guy has a problem, you're not paying attention. 208 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: Drunk on their own power, because they know the power 209 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 1: to investigate is the power to destroy, merely by leaking 210 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: word of an investigation or just creating an investigation trail. 211 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: They knew that they were taking a very powerful step 212 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: against administration. We are getting closer to the truth, but 213 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: the left is getting even more desperate. We are now 214 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: in a race against time whereby if they take the 215 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: presidency in twenty twenty, we will never find out what 216 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: really happened here because they're going to delay now in 217 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: the Congress, They're going to delay as much as they can. 218 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: But we're getting close. We're getting closer. I've got much 219 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: more team, stay with me. In the midst of all 220 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: the whining coming from the left, I mean, it's just 221 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: crazy these days. Right, They're chasing people out of restaurants, 222 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: yellow at you in the coffee shop, acting like a 223 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: bunch of maniacs. You have to wonder why in the 224 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: world would anyone act this way. My guess is they're 225 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,119 Speaker 1: just not getting their daily dose and black Rifle coffee. 226 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: I drink Black Rifle every morning. In fact, it's such 227 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: delicious coffee that I'm usually a guy that likes a 228 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: little con lache in my coffee. But guess what, I 229 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: drink it black because it's black Rifle for one. And 230 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: also this is delicious, small batch roast to order coffee. 231 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: All right. I am a sallenge for smooth blund guy, 232 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: but their entire catalog of different beans and blends is amazing. 233 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: Black Rifle is roast to order and is guaranteed fresh 234 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: right to your door.

This is a 240 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: rough fight with dealing against people who think that if 241 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: they can stop me from building the wall again, we've 242 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: already done a lot of work. But they think that's 243 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: a good thing for twenty twenty because they're not going 244 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: to win. This is the reason why they don't want 245 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: the wall build because they all know it works. They 246 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: all approved it numerous times. I mean, Chuck Schumer had 247 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: his hand up every time this would come up. The 248 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: Senators know this. They're only doing this because of the 249 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty election. That's true of what's going on with 250 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: the border. It's also true of the Russia hoax. Let 251 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: me just put out there that this is politics. It 252 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: is all politics, and people who pretend otherwise are being disingenuous. 253 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: This is about Democrats refusing to accept that Hillary loss. 254 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: This is about Democrats refusing to accept that Donald Trump 255 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: is president the United States and everything else fits in. 256 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: Then everything else that we're talking about here is really 257 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: just a question of how it plays into that overarching narrative. 258 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: So you have to keep added mind, You have to 259 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 1: have that in really the forefront of your mind as 260 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: you hear these these allegations. I mean you know. Meanwhile, 261 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: you've got ABC's Jonathan carl saying the following on the 262 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 1: George Stephanappolo Lupolis Show on Sunday that the Muller report 263 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 1: is going to have, guess what, not a whole lot. 264 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: It's essentially going to be when it comes to collusion, 265 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: a nothing burger play too. This is all building up 266 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: to the Muller Report and raising expectations of a bombshell report, 267 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: and they've been expectations that have been building, of course 268 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: for over a year on this. But people who are 269 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: closest to what Muller has been doing of interacted with 270 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: the Special Counsel cautioned me that this report is almost 271 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: certain to be anti climatic. That if you look at 272 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: what the FBI was investigating in that New York Times report, 273 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: look at what they were investigating, Mueller did not go 274 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: anywhere with that investigation. He has been writing his report 275 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: in real time through these indictments, and we have seen 276 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: nothing from Muller on the central question of was there 277 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: any coordination collusion with the Russians in the effort to 278 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: meddle in the elections, or was there even any knowledge 279 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 1: on the part of the president or anybody in his 280 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: campaign with what the Russians were doing. You see, this 281 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: is what John Carl at ABC is trying to tell 282 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: all the libs, not just in the media, but all 283 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: the libs at home or watching this. Your fantasy is 284 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: not going to This Russia collusion fantasy is not going 285 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: to play out the way you want. Or two guys, 286 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: this is not going to end up with Donald Trump 287 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: on tape talking to Putin about how it's so awesome 288 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: that they hash podest his emails. But you listen to 289 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people and they make it sound like 290 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: they think that's actually going to be the way this 291 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: thing plays out. They have completely and utterly lost all 292 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 1: perspective here, and we need to be prepared for them 293 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 1: to just get even crazier and uglier as this drags on. 294 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: You now, are have you ever worked for Russia, mister president. 295 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: I think it's the most insulting thing I've ever been asked. 296 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: I think it's the most insulting article I've ever had written. 297 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: And have you read the article. You'd see that they 298 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: found absolutely nothing. But the headline of that article is 299 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: called the failing New York Times. For a reason. They've 300 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: gotten me wrong. For three years. They've actually gotten me 301 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: wrong for many years before that. But you look at 302 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 1: what's going on. You know, I fired James Coney. I 303 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,719 Speaker 1: call him Lion James Comey because he was a terrible 304 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: liar and he did a terrible job as the FBI director. 305 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: Look at what happened with Hillary Clinton and the emails 306 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: and the Hillary Clinton investigation, one of the biggest screw 307 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 1: ups that anybody's ever seen as an investigation. And what 308 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: happened after I fired him, Andrew McKay, Peter struck his lover, 309 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: Lisa Page. They did it, and you know they're all gone. 310 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: Most of those people, many many people from the time, 311 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: are you a rush? An agent? President has to answer 312 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: that question? Is this is silly town stuff? I would 313 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: note though, that there are there are a lot of Democrats. 314 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: You have to remember, there are a lot of Democrats 315 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: for whom, even though they know intellectually I've spoken about this, 316 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: you won't hear many of them say this. But even 317 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: though they know that this is just this is just insane, 318 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: they justify to themselves because they think that the birth 319 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: certificate controversy with Barack Obama right, the whole birth theory, 320 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: which I was never I was never a subscriber to 321 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 1: but the the BIRTHERER theory and Trump's role in that 322 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: essentially justifies now any smear against this president, any smear. 323 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: I would note though, that even the birth controversy didn't 324 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: suggest that Barack Obama was a traitor. I'm not saying 325 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: it was okay or it was right, but I'm saying 326 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: they really believe that the president of the United States, 327 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: or they're at least saying that the president of the 328 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: United States is guilty of treason. Meanwhile, we just had 329 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: that guy or from maybe se say people he's talked 330 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: to near the Special Council are saying that if you're 331 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: hoping for there to be some big reveal at the 332 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: end of this investigation, you're going to be disappointed. But 333 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: you see, what what I know is that it doesn't 334 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: matter what comes out of the Muller probe. If the 335 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: Muller probe does not have the goods that Democrats want, 336 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,719 Speaker 1: then guess what they will just say, Oh, we have 337 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 1: to we have to continue Mueller's work. You see, he 338 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: was stymied in some way, there was some he wasn't 339 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: given the full resources. It doesn't matter. They'll be an excuse. 340 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: I can't even tell you what the excuses because they'll 341 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: just make it up. It doesn't matter what the excuse is. 342 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: They'll have some explanation about this. I mean, this is 343 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: how we keep we've had. I feel like every month 344 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,959 Speaker 1: for the last year at least, we have to go 345 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: through this cycle where it's, oh, it's some I'm gonna 346 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: do something to end the mull probe. It's Trump gonna 347 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: Eyer Rothenstein. They get all upset about this. You got 348 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: Dick Durbin here talking about the incoming likely Attorney General, 349 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: Bill Barr, and Dick Durbin is expressing his concerns. Play eight. 350 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: I'm worried about it. I mean, clearly he's a good lawyer, 351 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: no question, But when it comes to this delicate political situation, 352 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: the power of the president say whether this investigation is warranted. 353 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 1: Bill Barr had better give us some ironclad, rock bottom 354 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: assurances in terms of his independence and his willingness to 355 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: step back and let Muller finish his job. Why Bill 356 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: Barr was already the attorney general and no one seemed 357 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: to have any problem with it. Does every person who 358 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: works the Department of Justice have to give a public 359 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: oath of fealty to Robert Muller. Now is that? But 360 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: by the way, with Democrats, the answers, yes, you have 361 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: to swear allegiance to the Almighty Emperor Muller, the great 362 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: lib hope for ending the Trump presidency. You must kneel 363 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 1: before the Greatness of Muller. It's just these people are 364 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: sick and they really have a problem. I mean, there's 365 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: something just fundamentally wrong with them on this. But I 366 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: suppose they're so very freaked out at the notion of 367 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: Trump winning in twenty twenty. I mean, they just can't 368 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: handle it. You know, Lindsey Graham has already come out 369 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: and said that Bill Barrard is gonna be fine. He's 370 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,959 Speaker 1: not gonna fire anybody played nine. I'm going to ask him, 371 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: do you say any reason to fire mister Muller based 372 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: on what you know now? For cause? Do you trust 373 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: mister Muller to be fair to the president in the country. 374 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: Will you make sure he can finish his job if 375 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: you get the report? Will you be as transparent as possible. 376 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: I've asked him those questions, and I'm very comfortable with 377 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: his answers. I've asked those questions of comfortable with the denser. 378 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: It turns out Barr is actually friends with Muller. So 379 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: this whole idea, this whole theory that there should be 380 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: all this concern and oh my gosh, and what are 381 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: we gonna do? And Muller and bla, it's just it's 382 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: just nonsense. It's but we have to every month we 383 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: have to go through this again. We all have to 384 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: pray before the altar of the Great Muller or else 385 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: we're undermining democracy, undermining this country. I meanwhile, Democrats won't 386 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: spend five billion dollars so that maybe we have some 387 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: hope of having some decent security at our southern border. 388 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: And they're now so dug in on this shutdown that 389 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: everyone thinks that if anyone's gonna cave, it's going to 390 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: be the Republicans. Will we'll see about about that. I 391 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: am going to the border, as you know. I am 392 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: going to the border to see what's happening and to 393 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: talk to frontline border patrol agents. You know. I heard 394 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: today though on Fox that senior Board full officer said 395 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: that to say that it's not a southern rises at 396 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: our border is just disingenuous. And I think it's so 397 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: interesting because this is where you really see the left 398 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: wing propaganda and action. They'll they'll just repeat things that 399 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: that anybody can can see or can tell for themselves 400 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: are false, without even the slightest compunction. They'll they'll just 401 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: say stuff. There you go, Wait a second, there's no 402 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 1: way that's true. It's not possible that that's the case. 403 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: But they'll just keep saying it. Walls don't work. There's 404 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 1: an example. Walls don't work. Pretty sure, walls work, pretty sure, 405 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: pretty sure, a little bit, a little bit, pretty sure 406 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: the walls work. But they would prefer to engage in 407 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: this nonsense and to lie and lie and lie because 408 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: it serves their political needs. They don't care about their credibility. 409 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,719 Speaker 1: Whatever credibility they have, they're they're happy to throw it 410 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: on a bonfire as long as it gets them the 411 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: power that they think they need. But I I am 412 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: very much looking forward getting some time, not just obviously 413 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: to see what's going on the border with my own eyes, 414 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: but to talk to border patrol. I'm hoping to get 415 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: into a detention facility and see what the situation is there. 416 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: I'm it's going to cover as much ground as I can. 417 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: I'll be there Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, so I'll be 418 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: out there on the border for three days. We've got 419 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: all kinds of meetings and field field visits set up, 420 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: so I'll come back to you on Friday and I'll 421 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: have a whole lot of information to share with you. Well, 422 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,199 Speaker 1: i'll be back on air before then. I'll certainly be 423 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: on the show on Wednesday, so I don't think that 424 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,959 Speaker 1: i'll and I won't be on Thursday. I will be 425 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: on Wednesday and tomorrow. We're trying to figure it out 426 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: on Friday. So Wednesday and Friday, I'm definitely gonna be 427 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 1: on air. We'll probably have Raheem in on Thursday, and 428 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: if I I will have a think holl And Hill 429 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: filling in, so we've got If I'm not on air, 430 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 1: you're gonna have great people on air this week. That 431 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: so be sure that you tune in because we have 432 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: fantastic guest hosts, as you know. But I'm going because 433 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 1: i want to get you ground truth that I don't 434 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: just want to be some guy who sits in the 435 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: belt inside the beltway here and talks to all my 436 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: little sources and that stuff is useful and that's that's 437 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: obviously good for the political discussions we have. But I'd 438 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: like to go out and see some stuff. I'd like 439 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: to get out there and put eyes on on target, 440 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: so to speak. So that will be very useful. But 441 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: the the the border shutdown situation exactly the kind of 442 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: there's exactly the kind of demagoguery that I had expected 443 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 1: all along. Here you have Van Jones, of course, blaming 444 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: Trump and everything about Trump for the shutdown over at 445 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: the NAM playclip three. President Trump started twenty nineteen by 446 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: probably dividing the country with more fear mongoring, more falsehoods, 447 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: and now we are in the longest running government shut 448 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: down ever. And you know, the politics are ugly, but 449 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: the human impact is even worse. The tip sheet off 450 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: their website, but they had something up there where they 451 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: were recommending that unpaid service members do stuff like this, 452 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: have garage sale, babysit, walk dogs, house sit, or become 453 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: mystery shoppers during the shutdown. I'm not making this stuff up. 454 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: And as a result of this, everybody, all of us 455 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 1: are in danger. Now that's not true about us in danger, 456 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: because eighty five percent of the federal government continues to work. 457 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 1: I would just note that the fifteen percent that's not 458 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: currently doing things or not getting paid, I should say, 459 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: do we really think that every single government employee right 460 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: now that we have on the payroll is entirely necessary 461 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: for our safety in our existence? I also think it's 462 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: it is exposing a mentality here that people who work 463 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: for the federal government have it. Look, nobody should be 464 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: forced to work without pay. That's a specific thing to 465 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: the federal government. But on the other side of it 466 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: is that financial hardship for people who have jobs is 467 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: nothing new in the prime sector. I know plenty of people. 468 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: I know people in media who have driven a cab, 469 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: driven an uber, done whatever they can do when things 470 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: have gotten rough, you know, book advances or poultry websites 471 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: pay crap money. For the most part. It's really hard 472 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: to scratch out a living in my business. I know 473 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: plenty of people that have to do side gigs. I 474 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: under somebody who was tutoring and didn't want to go 475 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: to his real job because he was making more money 476 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: tutoring for grad school students than he was actually at 477 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: his gig. And media, you know, so you know, I 478 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: understand that Van Jones wants to sneer at Trump and 479 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: oh these are the suggestions they're putting up on the website. Yeah, sure, 480 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: some of them maybe aren't going to help all that much. 481 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: But there's a critical problem here that's killing tens of 482 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: thousands of people, the opioid epidemic that is fuel by 483 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: our lack of security at our southern border. Lives are 484 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: at stake if that means that people have to adapt 485 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: for a few weeks financially. I'm not saying it's fair 486 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: or it's nice, but at some point we have no choice. 487 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: You know, are we going to have a country or not? 488 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: Are we going to have sovereignty and borders or not. 489 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: This is the question that is posed right now, and 490 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: we are going to find an answer one way or 491 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: the other. I think we know we're Democrats down on this. 492 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: I'm just here to say that we don't have to 493 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: accept their nonsense. We don't have to accept their version 494 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: of events here. We can stand and fight and make 495 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: the case. And Trump is doing that and I think 496 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: doing it effectively. Can you promise that the president will 497 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: tell the truth tonight? We tell the truth, yes, Jim, 498 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: And can you promise that you will? Am I allowed 499 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: to mentioned God to you. Now, well, Jim, I know 500 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: that's a cheap make sure that goes viral. This is why, 501 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: by the way, this is why I'm one of the 502 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: only people around here who they even gives you the 503 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: time of day you can hear and let me let 504 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: me just let me get back in your face, because 505 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: you're such a smart asthmas to the time, and I 506 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: know you want this to go viral. I like Kelly 507 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: an Comma thrown down with Jim Accosta CNI, think it's great, 508 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: good for her. I had a chance to go on 509 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: on Fox to discuss this a little bit with Howie Kurtz. 510 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: Very nice when to have me on, and I just 511 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: want to share that this is what I got to 512 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: say on Media Buzz about that exchange with I think 513 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: everyone needs to understand what's really going on at CNN 514 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: Play six. Jim Acosta plays a very important role right 515 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: now in our media discourse, and that is he makes 516 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: it effectively impossible to continue this charade that you have 517 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: certain network, certainly certain newspapers as objective, nonpartisan news sources. 518 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: This is a joke. I mean CNN from an editorial perspective, 519 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: not everybody there. They're a good journalists. They're just like 520 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: everywhere else. But from a broad editorial perspective, CNN exists 521 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: to longer liberalism for its audience. Essentially, the audience thinks 522 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: that they're getting objective news. They want to believe that, 523 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: they think they're just getting the fact. But when you 524 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: see a costive or something like this, not only is 525 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: he not disciplined, he's effectively celebrated by the institution. That 526 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: was just a cheap shot. It was an attack. It 527 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: was meant to undermine a senior ministration official interchange or 528 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: dirty pool indeed, but that is I think the one 529 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: the one good thing, you know, the one takeaway from 530 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: Acostas Shenanigans that I have to say I'm I'm pleased about, 531 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: is that people now have a better understanding of what's 532 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: really going on in the media and what the real, 533 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: the real game is here. They are not They are 534 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: just fundamentally not concerned with objective truthtelling. They are activists, 535 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: they are partisans, and I think the more of the 536 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: American people know that, the better. It's also important that 537 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: we remember that as we enter this phase of just 538 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: all out political trench warfare. I mean, there's there's reporting 539 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: today that Adam Schiff over the Intelligence Committee wants to 540 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: get the translator for trumpet Putin's private meeting to testify 541 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: in front of Congress. I'm sorry, but if there is 542 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: such a thing as executive privilege and executive privacy, you 543 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: would think the president should be able to have a 544 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: discussion with a world leader that is not a matter 545 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: of public record. Does everything that gets said to Trump 546 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: through a translator at any meeting? Does that? Does that 547 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: get to be blasted out to the press? Is every 548 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: is the president not allowed? You know, we've accepted the 549 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: media accepted that diplomacy requires some secrecy or remember this 550 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: from back when they used to like wiki leaks in 551 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: the press, right, But we would say, hold on a second, 552 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: diplomacy requires some degree of if not secrecy, at least 553 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,239 Speaker 1: you know, source protection and confidentiality. Right. You have to 554 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: have some ability to speak in confidence. The President can't 555 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: speak the world leaders in confidence now because Adam Schiff 556 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: is a punk and wants to try to embarrass him 557 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: or whatever. People keep saying, why would Trump not walt 558 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: the conversation with Russia to be out there because he 559 00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: knows that whatever he says to Putin, whatever where he 560 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: says to this world leader that he has to talk 561 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: to you, no choice. Really, they're going to find something 562 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: wrong with it. They're gonna blast him. Also, should you 563 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 1: should be you should remind yourself, I should remind all 564 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: of us. I guess that's what I'm doing now that 565 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: that was an inartful way of saying this. The media 566 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: is going to be a mouthpiece for this leftist deep 567 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: state soft coupe going forward. You know, there's this leak 568 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: of transcripts that CNN was reporting on about the discussion 569 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: within the FBI to start this investigation right after Komi firing. 570 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: Play that clip, John, the transcripts obtained by CNN, Shamo, Yeah, 571 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: that's right, John. So these transcripts really give us a 572 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: window a look inside the process by which the FBI 573 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 1: underwent the thinking that they certainly had into how to 574 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,320 Speaker 1: go about whether or not they were going to bring 575 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: this investigation open, this investigation into Donald Trump. Now, this 576 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: new information obtained by CNN from transcripts of two FBI 577 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 1: I officials who testified, two members of Congress who closed 578 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: door interviews, and what it reveals that on one end, 579 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: there was the idea that Trump fired the former FBI 580 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: Director James Comey at the behest of Russia. And then 581 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: on the other was the possibility that Trump was completely 582 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: innocent and was acting within the bounds of his executive authority. Now, 583 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: so why is it that every time, First of all, 584 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 1: the fact that this is leak just goes to show 585 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: you that, you know, Chiff and these other Democrats are 586 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: going to be leaking like mad going forward. But also 587 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: why is it that we always hear about the investigation 588 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: got started. We don't hear that there are other people 589 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: in the FBI who are like, this is crazy, He's 590 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: totally innocent. Why are we gonna do this? That's right, 591 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: because the deep state partisan hacks got their way because 592 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: they were running things. Comey and McCabe been struck, and 593 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure they have some Confederates in there as well, 594 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 1: some fellow plotters against this president. We are going into 595 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 1: political warfare. We might as well know who the enemy 596 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 1: is by now.

The left absolutely 615 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: loves identity politics. You know this. They have this whole 616 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: hierarchy of oppression in society they called intersectionality. Who oppresses who? 617 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: Who is the most oppressed? What can we do to 618 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 1: deal with the oppression between all these different groups? And this, 619 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 1: in no small measure contributes to a sense of grievance 620 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,919 Speaker 1: mongering that exists on the left. Now. Representative Steve King 621 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 1: of Iowa has gotten himself into a whole lot of 622 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 1: trouble once again for saying things that he or tweeting things, 623 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: writing things, saying things all of the above that he 624 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: should not have. I think it's interesting, though, that when 625 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: there is an opportunity for the left to really condemn 626 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:56,720 Speaker 1: incredibly repeated and vicious anti Semitic bigotry when it comes 627 00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: to Louis Farrakhan, they all of us udn't get a 628 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: little bit mealy mouth. It's a little well. On the 629 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: one hand, on the other hand, the Women's March is 630 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 1: a thing. You've probably seen them. They're the ones that 631 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: used to march around with the pink anatomically correct hats on. 632 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: They claim to represent all women. Meanwhile, if you're part 633 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: of the fifty percent of women or so who are 634 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: pro life, you are not only unrepresented by the Women's March, 635 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 1: you are not welcome at the Women's March. That's right, 636 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: the choice not to destroy your own offspring in the womb. Somehow, 637 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: According to the progressive left and their intersectional identity politics, 638 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: belief means you're not really a woman, or in some 639 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: way your womanhood is subject to an additional scrutiny, if 640 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 1: not some degree of skepticism. Well, the Women's March is 641 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,839 Speaker 1: a thing that we should all take a longer look at, 642 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 1: because there are some people who are associated with it, 643 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: who really enjoy taking photographs with, appearing at public events with, 644 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: and speaking on the same stage as Lewis Farakon, who 645 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: is as clear and obvious and in many ways proud 646 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 1: of his anti semitism as anyone could possibly be. And 647 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: this guy says things like he's not anti Semite, he's 648 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:31,279 Speaker 1: anti termite heat. Just when you were coming up with 649 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: textbook anti semitism and bigotry, the stuff that Farakon says 650 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: could go right in there, all right, And I don't 651 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: think that's something that any serious person would would contest. Okay, 652 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: Lewis Farrakon is an anti Semite, if there is such 653 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: a thing as an anti Semite. And Jamika Mallory and 654 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 1: Bob Bland, who are two of the women who are 655 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 1: the heads of the so called Women's March, they went 656 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,320 Speaker 1: on The View today where my friend and the former 657 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,760 Speaker 1: former host of the show, Megan McCain, decided to push 658 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 1: her a bit because there is in the Women's March 659 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,839 Speaker 1: at least some real anti semitism, and it's worth asking 660 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: the question why hasn't this been fully repudiated, Meaning that 661 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: if the association that a conservative could have with any 662 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: other individual who is a white nationalist or a racist 663 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: or a bad person is enough that that person should 664 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,719 Speaker 1: be asked to condemn the association, isn't that true of 665 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: Libs as well? Shouldn't libs have to live by their 666 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: own standards? We know the answer is no, because they 667 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,799 Speaker 1: don't want standards. But you understand what I'm saying, And 668 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: to Megan's great credit to Tamika Mallory's well you can 669 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,839 Speaker 1: hear it for yourself. Here's how the exchange went. Yeah, 670 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,400 Speaker 1: people interject really quickly. I would never be comfortable supporting 671 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,800 Speaker 1: someone who called I'm not anti semite and anti termite. 672 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: It's the wicked Jews, the false Jews that are promoting 673 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 1: lesbianism homosexuality. Actually spoke with the journalists from Tablet magazine 674 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: who released an investigation report on your organization, and in 675 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,439 Speaker 1: part they allege that there is a lot of anti 676 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 1: semitism surrounding this march. Specifically, the report alleged that u 677 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: Tamika and co founder Carmen Perez asserted the quote Jewish 678 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 1: people had a history of exploiting black people and were 679 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: proven to be leaders of the American slave trade. Now, 680 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people who a lot of people include 681 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 1: me in this, think that you're using your organization as 682 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 1: anti semitism masked and activism, and that you're using identity 683 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: politics to shield yourself from critiques. You're talking about all 684 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 1: women being invited to that march on pro life. We 685 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: were not invited. We were not allowed at that march. 686 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 1: Right there. I'm a conservative woman. I also represent if 687 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,399 Speaker 1: you're talking about women, if you're talking about all women, 688 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: including Jewish women as well, and conservative wisdom women. Now, 689 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 1: Bob Bland went on to say, Bob Bland is a 690 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 1: woman who was one of the heads of the Women's March. 691 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,720 Speaker 1: That's not true, and that pro life women are welcome 692 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 1: in the women's March. And I'm sorry, but that's not true, 693 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: but she said it. Nonetheless, I had the what we 694 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: call it the professional duty to interview miss Bland during 695 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 1: the Kavanaugh hearing, and she came across as somebody who 696 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be gliber funny. She came across 697 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: it somewhat disturbed. I mean so as though she had 698 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 1: problems coping with reality. She claimed that Kavanaugh's confirmation would 699 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,320 Speaker 1: result in millions of women dying. That was a quote, 700 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: and I had to sit there and listen to it. 701 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 1: She also lied very brazenly about a position that Kavanaugh. 702 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 1: She claimed that Kavanaugh held when it was not in 703 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: fact his position. It was the position of somebody who 704 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: was petitioning before the court, and he happened to be 705 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: a judge when that was happening. Nonetheless, not an impressive 706 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,839 Speaker 1: intellectual to say the least. But back to Tamika Mallory here, 707 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: African American female. She's having this exchange with Megan McCain 708 00:42:54,400 --> 00:43:00,880 Speaker 1: about Minister Ferikon and about race and anti Semitism, and 709 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 1: Megan essentially is saying, look, you're using the fact that 710 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,320 Speaker 1: you are protected class being a female and being a minority. 711 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,400 Speaker 1: It seems to escape accountability for spending time with the 712 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 1: guy who is clearly a dirtbag. And once again, Megan, 713 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 1: I give her a high five from afar. I'll send 714 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 1: her a text later and tell her thank you as well. 715 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 1: She it just hones in. She's you know, let's just 716 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 1: make this really easy. You, Bob Bland and Timiker Mallory, 717 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:35,359 Speaker 1: You to women of the Women's March, representing progressive activism 718 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,759 Speaker 1: at its height, at its pinnacle. You know, that's what 719 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 1: their brand really is. This is all about being a 720 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 1: leftist who wants to make the country more accepting of 721 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,760 Speaker 1: one another, they say, But really it's just about pushing 722 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: progressive left wing causes, anti life causes, jamming transgender ideology 723 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: and all the rest of it down everyone's throats. But 724 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,240 Speaker 1: with that, Megan says, Okay, let's make this really simple. 725 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,839 Speaker 1: Just condemn Lewis Farrakhan's words. Here is how that went. 726 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: When Meghan said to Tamika Mallory on the View, just okay, 727 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 1: we know what Louis Farrakhan has said, we know what 728 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: he stands for. Will you condemn him now play. I 729 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 1: don't speak for Jewish people, but I think I'm just 730 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,040 Speaker 1: confused these remarks are. I mean, it goes on death 731 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,719 Speaker 1: to Israel over and over again. We did not make 732 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: those You can't, but you're associating with a man who 733 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,440 Speaker 1: does what help look late. What I will say to 734 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 1: you is that I don't agree with many of Minniester 735 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,279 Speaker 1: Farkon's statements that'simically about Jewish people. As I said, I 736 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:40,279 Speaker 1: don't agree with many of Minister Farikon's statements. To condemn them, 737 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,279 Speaker 1: I don't agree with these statements. At the end of 738 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: the day, he won't condemn it. No, no, no, all. 739 00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,840 Speaker 1: To be very clear, it's not my language. It's not 740 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 1: the way that I speak, it is not how I organize, 741 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 1: and I think it is very clear over the twenty 742 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 1: years of my own well. I would like to tell 743 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 1: miss Mallory what is very clear is that she who 744 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 1: condemn the remarks right. She can try to come up 745 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,720 Speaker 1: with as many different constructions of this as she wants, 746 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 1: but the fact that matters. She's asked a straightforward question, 747 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 1: will you condemn these remarks? And her response is I 748 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 1: would not use those words. That's not a condemnation of 749 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 1: somebody who's calling Jewish people termites. That's not a condemnation 750 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 1: at all. That's essentially a dodge that is trying to 751 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 1: avoid the question. And I think that what you see 752 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: here is that once again intersectionality inherently means that these 753 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 1: different grievance groups, whether they're gender, racial, sexual orientation, nationality, 754 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 1: or whatever based. But these different grievance groups will inherently 755 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 1: come to blows and consume one another because there is 756 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,320 Speaker 1: no real standard for who is in a position to 757 00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:59,320 Speaker 1: adjudicate who is the most aggrieved, So who gets away 758 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,759 Speaker 1: with kinds of comments and who doesn't? You know, the 759 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,840 Speaker 1: only thing they can all agree on is that white 760 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 1: males are bad and need to be put in their place, 761 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 1: and white male patriarchies destroy, destroying the world, destroying America, 762 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,239 Speaker 1: all of this, but beyond that, they can't figure out 763 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 1: what the unifying principle is of what they all stand for, 764 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,920 Speaker 1: because what they stand for is being angry at people 765 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 1: based upon their perceived treatment as a result of gender, 766 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 1: sexual orientation, skin color, and all the rest of it. 767 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 1: This is where you see that this politics of intersectionality 768 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 1: of I am first and foremost in society to be 769 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 1: judged and will judge others based upon my identity group, 770 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 1: that is toxic. It is toxic, and it leads to 771 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,360 Speaker 1: this kind of incoherence where you have people who are claiming, 772 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 1: as they did during this interview, to be all about 773 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,919 Speaker 1: healing and coming together and combating bigotry, and they can't 774 00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,839 Speaker 1: even combat the bigotry in their own ranks because there 775 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 1: are special and privileged positions within this hierarchy of identities 776 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,319 Speaker 1: that allow for greater latitude and leeway than any other 777 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:19,800 Speaker 1: person would have in saying things that are racist, defamatory, ugly, 778 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,320 Speaker 1: anti semitic, whatever the case may be. There is no 779 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 1: one single standard because all these standards based on intersectional 780 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 1: belief have to be adjusted and readjusted in the moment, 781 00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:38,600 Speaker 1: really based on the petty, short term needs of the movement. 782 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: So he saw it all breakdown there, and the Women's 783 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 1: March is obviously full of people who are really delusional. 784 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 1: But that's perhaps a conversation for another time. Break. Your 785 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:52,600 Speaker 1: team will be right back.

Well, first, let me just congratulate 811 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:19,800 Speaker 1: and thank my Republican leaders, folks like Kevin McCarthy, Janie Earns, 812 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:25,359 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz, Jeff Bush, Jason Chaffins, who've all spoken out 813 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:29,160 Speaker 1: loud and clear and rebuked the comments of Steve King. 814 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,480 Speaker 1: I think the House will handle its business. I have 815 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,279 Speaker 1: confidence that Kevin McCarthy will do the right thing, and 816 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,360 Speaker 1: we'll do it very quickly. So I look forward to 817 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 1: that outcome. But for me, it's not about the Republican Party. 818 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:46,319 Speaker 1: Steve King's comments are anathetical to what is in fact 819 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 1: the American dream, and the durability of the American dream 820 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 1: is the strength of the American spirit. And what he 821 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,880 Speaker 1: did was he struck against the American spirit. So he 822 00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,320 Speaker 1: weakened the spirit. And when that happens, our nation is 823 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,560 Speaker 1: less compared petitive globally. I wanted you to hear from 824 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,879 Speaker 1: Senator Scott there about Steve King's remarks. I didn't want 825 00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,920 Speaker 1: to just talk to you about what happened on the 826 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,920 Speaker 1: View and Tamika Mallory and which is obviously heightened right 827 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:17,360 Speaker 1: now because of Steve King and that whole controversy without 828 00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 1: airing out what Steve King said, which was essentially, when 829 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:24,400 Speaker 1: did white supremacy and white nationalism become a bad thing? 830 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,520 Speaker 1: I forget the exact quote but it was something along 831 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,480 Speaker 1: those lines at actually here, of course, this is the 832 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. We are precise, thank you producer Mike. 833 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:36,280 Speaker 1: The New York Times quoted Steve King asking white nationalist, 834 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:40,800 Speaker 1: white supremacist Western civilization, how did that language become offensive? 835 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,719 Speaker 1: When someone does something like this. It ticks me off 836 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,120 Speaker 1: on multiple levels when someone says something like this who 837 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:50,200 Speaker 1: claims to be a Republican or a conservative, because it 838 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:55,279 Speaker 1: makes the cause and the job of conservatism harder. He 839 00:50:55,520 --> 00:51:00,279 Speaker 1: makes it harder for all of us now, which means 840 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:04,920 Speaker 1: that I'm obviously going to very vehemently oppose people who 841 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,160 Speaker 1: say things like this, because conservatism is all about an 842 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:13,280 Speaker 1: ideology of individual responsibility, intrinsic human worth and human dignity, 843 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,680 Speaker 1: and the respect that we all owe to each other 844 00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 1: as God's creatures and as human beings. We are all 845 00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,439 Speaker 1: equal in the eyes of God. Without that, you don't 846 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,520 Speaker 1: have conservatism. Without that, you got something else. I don't 847 00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:29,759 Speaker 1: know what it is. And perhaps Steve King just incredibly 848 00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:34,000 Speaker 1: poorly worded something incredibly poorly. I can't apparently word things 849 00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,640 Speaker 1: well right now either. He essentially might have just said 850 00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,279 Speaker 1: something that sounded terrible that he didn't intend to, but 851 00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,240 Speaker 1: it sounded terrible, and so you got to call somebody 852 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 1: out for that. And I don't think he's walked it 853 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,279 Speaker 1: back at all, but I wanted to note there you 854 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:50,359 Speaker 1: had GOP senator and he's an African American, of course, 855 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,959 Speaker 1: a Senator Scott, and he's saying that this has no place. 856 00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:55,799 Speaker 1: And he pointed out that a lot of the most 857 00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,279 Speaker 1: prominent GEOP folks out there in Congress say this has 858 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,520 Speaker 1: no place, So don't let the media was saying, Oh, 859 00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,920 Speaker 1: Republicans never condemn this stuff. Oh no, we condemn it 860 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,320 Speaker 1: all the time. We condemn it. We don't like it, 861 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:10,359 Speaker 1: and we don't like the lies around situations like this either, 862 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,759 Speaker 1: where we are told, oh, conservatives have no problem with 863 00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 1: this bull crap. Now, with that said, I would like 864 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,560 Speaker 1: to move on for just a couple of moments here 865 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,200 Speaker 1: to the teacher's strike out in LA. As you know, 866 00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,880 Speaker 1: I'm heading out to San Diego tonight. I will be 867 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,759 Speaker 1: there and coming to you, assuming I can figure out 868 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,440 Speaker 1: the scheduling of things. I should be coming to you 869 00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,239 Speaker 1: from the near the border tomorrow on radio at the 870 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,239 Speaker 1: normal time, So don't worry about that. Although I may 871 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,239 Speaker 1: have to have a pinch hitter if the logistics get 872 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,920 Speaker 1: too complicated, because I'm going to be going all over 873 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,279 Speaker 1: the place at the border and I'm looking forward to 874 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,560 Speaker 1: getting a lot of ground truth as well as spending 875 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,000 Speaker 1: some time in sixty five degree weather instead of twenty 876 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:56,000 Speaker 1: five degree weather. That sounds particularly nice. But there's a 877 00:52:56,040 --> 00:53:00,080 Speaker 1: teacher's strike that will be happening in Los Angeles, and 878 00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 1: I think that this is a good opportunity to point 879 00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 1: out that, you know, the teachers, so yeah, I'm not 880 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,960 Speaker 1: just knee jerk. Oh, you know the teachers. They want 881 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,560 Speaker 1: more money. Is is about no, No, the teachers have 882 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,640 Speaker 1: a pretty good case for getting a pay raise. Not 883 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,400 Speaker 1: an ironclad case, but when you look at where they 884 00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,799 Speaker 1: are Visa Vie, where they were fifteen or twenty years ago, 885 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,719 Speaker 1: and the pay increases over time, teachers I think are 886 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:29,960 Speaker 1: on some reasonable ground, especially in places like West Virginia 887 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,279 Speaker 1: where they were the forty nine out of fifty in 888 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:36,360 Speaker 1: terms of overall pay. You know, teachers should be, you know, 889 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,880 Speaker 1: well compensated as teachers, right, they should be well compensated 890 00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:41,319 Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of things. We can't pay them 891 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,960 Speaker 1: like investment bankers. Although investment bankers would tell you they 892 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:48,480 Speaker 1: can't get paid like Silicon Valley barons, but teachers overall 893 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,280 Speaker 1: have a decent point. The problem though in Los Angeles 894 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,759 Speaker 1: is where's all the money going, because there's a lot 895 00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,920 Speaker 1: of money and they have, in fact, two billion dollars 896 00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:02,600 Speaker 1: of funds have been set aside that the city of 897 00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,239 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, of course, entirely run by Democrats. This is 898 00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,520 Speaker 1: an entirely the school district in Los Angeles. It's a 899 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 1: Democrat owned and operated and run situation. Right. The Democrats 900 00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 1: are completely in charge. I don't think anybody would deny that. 901 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,840 Speaker 1: That's just the truth. The problem though, is that the 902 00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,799 Speaker 1: money that they want to use for a teacher raise 903 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:29,600 Speaker 1: is allocated to retirees from the school system and their benefits. 904 00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,920 Speaker 1: You see, one part of the conversation when we we're 905 00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,000 Speaker 1: talking about public sector unions that does not get accounted 906 00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 1: for is what are we paying for the previous workforce 907 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:44,720 Speaker 1: that we had. That's usually where unions get the sweetest 908 00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,759 Speaker 1: deals because it's a lot easier to say we're going 909 00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,279 Speaker 1: to give people great benefits in thirty years or twenty 910 00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:52,719 Speaker 1: years when they retire, instead of we're going to give 911 00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,279 Speaker 1: them a big pay raise today. So they tend to 912 00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:59,160 Speaker 1: have a lot of major back end public sector expenses. 913 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,920 Speaker 1: And the other place where there's a big problem is 914 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 1: you could give all teachers This is courtesy my friend 915 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:11,279 Speaker 1: Inez Felter stepmen over at the Federalist. You could give 916 00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 1: all teachers an eleven percent raise if you would just 917 00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:19,040 Speaker 1: indexed the increase in administrate of hiring meaning admin staff, 918 00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,040 Speaker 1: to the rest of the school's growth. So if there's 919 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:25,440 Speaker 1: ten percent more students, you have ten percent more admin staff. 920 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,440 Speaker 1: The truth is that the money in the teachers in 921 00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,160 Speaker 1: the teaching systems of these major school districts like Los 922 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:35,799 Speaker 1: Angeles has gone to support personnel admin staff, a lot 923 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,880 Speaker 1: of whom are unnecessary and are just part of a 924 00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:43,360 Speaker 1: giant Democrat jobs program. So you know, it's more complicated 925 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,359 Speaker 1: than just teachers should get a raised. Should teachers get 926 00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 1: a raised, maybe they should get something of a raise, 927 00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:48,719 Speaker 1: But they've also got to look at how they're going 928 00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,560 Speaker 1: to fund their pension, how they're going to fund their 929 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,920 Speaker 1: healthcare benefits, and what about all this admin staff they 930 00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,080 Speaker 1: have around. That's the part of this the public won't 931 00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,640 Speaker 1: find out about, and that's why this will all just 932 00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,320 Speaker 1: have end should be handled with you guessed it more 933 00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,920 Speaker 1: raising of taxes, which will cause more middle class flight 934 00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 1: from California. About some municipalities like San Francisco who have 935 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,399 Speaker 1: decided that it's okay for some non citizens to vote 936 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,960 Speaker 1: in local elections, I think there's a difference between municipal 937 00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 1: and state and federal part of municipality. I'm not arguing 938 00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,279 Speaker 1: forward or against it, but I will say, having been 939 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:32,320 Speaker 1: deputy city attorney, there's a very the granularity of what 940 00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:36,840 Speaker 1: cities decide is so specific as to I think allow 941 00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,040 Speaker 1: for people to be participants in the process without it 942 00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,759 Speaker 1: somehow undermining our larger democratic ethic that says that you 943 00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,480 Speaker 1: should be a citizen to be a part of the conversation. 944 00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,760 Speaker 1: So in some cases you would be supportive of non citizens, 945 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,800 Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't oppose it. That's right there. He 946 00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:59,000 Speaker 1: had gubernatorial hopeful for the state of Georgia, Stacey Abrams, Democrat, 947 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:03,160 Speaker 1: who had Oprah stumping for her, had Will Farrell. I 948 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,640 Speaker 1: think going door to door, knock knock it on folksdoors 949 00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,880 Speaker 1: to get them to come out and vote for Stacey Abrams. 950 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:14,680 Speaker 1: There you ever speaking to Margaret Hoover, I guess on 951 00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:19,520 Speaker 1: is that on a PBS and Margaret asks her about 952 00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:25,520 Speaker 1: whether Stacy Abrams thinks that illegals should be able to 953 00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:29,200 Speaker 1: vote in local elections. Essentially, if you live in the 954 00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:33,480 Speaker 1: city of Atlanta or New York, or Los Angeles, or 955 00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:37,360 Speaker 1: you name it, and you are in illegal, should you 956 00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,640 Speaker 1: have a say, as in an official legal say, as 957 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:45,560 Speaker 1: in being able to cast a ballot for whomever is 958 00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 1: going to run that city and whoever the police commissioner 959 00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 1: is going to be, an etc. Et cetera. You know 960 00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,080 Speaker 1: who the district attorney is going to be. You look 961 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,040 Speaker 1: at this and you say to yourself, this should be 962 00:57:55,120 --> 00:58:00,360 Speaker 1: a really easy question. Right, should somebody who is not 963 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:05,120 Speaker 1: even legally allowed to be in the United States? Should 964 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:09,720 Speaker 1: that person be given the right to have an official 965 00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:14,040 Speaker 1: legal vote that they can cast in an election on 966 00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,480 Speaker 1: US soil. I would think the answer to anybody who 967 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,280 Speaker 1: is a believer in the rule of law and who 968 00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:23,480 Speaker 1: wants to take our law seriously would say, and of 969 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:27,240 Speaker 1: course not. But you notice, Stacy Abrams here lets you 970 00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:31,240 Speaker 1: in on what the Democrats really think. Stacy Abrams is saying, Oh, well, 971 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:36,800 Speaker 1: I think it's really complicated, and I wouldn't necessarily oppose it. 972 00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 1: That's Democrats speak for I know that I'll get a 973 00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,800 Speaker 1: lot of heat if I tell you what I'm really 974 00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,040 Speaker 1: thinking on this one, so I would rather take this 975 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:53,320 Speaker 1: non committal position of well, I'm just not sure right now, 976 00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:57,000 Speaker 1: but I can kind of see how some people would 977 00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:01,640 Speaker 1: want illegal aliens to be able to vote in elections 978 00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:06,240 Speaker 1: for their local you know, local whatever, governor or not governor, 979 00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:10,560 Speaker 1: mayor city council, all that kind of stuff. This is 980 00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,320 Speaker 1: the future, my friends, This is where it's all heading. 981 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,760 Speaker 1: And I'll just say this, does anyone really believe that 982 00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:21,880 Speaker 1: if Democrats start city by city, they already have sanctuary 983 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,200 Speaker 1: city policies. So so we know that, and there are 984 00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,840 Speaker 1: whole states now, like California that are effectively sanctuary states. 985 00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:31,080 Speaker 1: We know that they don't really care what the federal 986 00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:34,680 Speaker 1: laws with regard to immigration. They are not on board 987 00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:39,520 Speaker 1: for helping the federal government in any way enforce those 988 00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:42,720 Speaker 1: laws other federal laws. Local government's all about helping, right, 989 00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,720 Speaker 1: but immigration, no, they do not, They do not want 990 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,040 Speaker 1: to have any part in that. How long before we 991 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,160 Speaker 1: hear a similar case to be made. I mean, if 992 00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,720 Speaker 1: you can make the case that somebody living in a 993 00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,520 Speaker 1: city should have a say in how that city is 994 00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,800 Speaker 1: run and governed, even if they are not legally, under 995 01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,240 Speaker 1: the law of the land, allowed to be in that city. 996 01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:09,560 Speaker 1: Why couldn't you say then about Congress and elected representatives 997 01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:11,919 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill. Why can't you say it about Senate? 998 01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,960 Speaker 1: Why can't you say it about the President. I know 999 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,080 Speaker 1: that people would say, oh, buck, but it's local law 1000 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,600 Speaker 1: versus federal law. Into that I would say, yeah, but 1001 01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,400 Speaker 1: they don't like the federal law either, and they don't 1002 01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:28,000 Speaker 1: obviously buy into the principle that there's anything inherently wrong 1003 01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:33,280 Speaker 1: with being in this country illegally. And this is a 1004 01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:38,240 Speaker 1: really important philosophical difference that we need to understand in 1005 01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:42,120 Speaker 1: this immigration debate. You see, the way that we've been 1006 01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,600 Speaker 1: told to approach this because of Democrat and media propaganda 1007 01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:48,480 Speaker 1: for a long time, is we all want to fix 1008 01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:52,000 Speaker 1: illegal immigration. We all want the laws to be enforced. 1009 01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:55,520 Speaker 1: We don't want open borders. It's just a question of 1010 01:00:55,600 --> 01:01:00,360 Speaker 1: how we get to better enforcement of immigration law and 1011 01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:03,240 Speaker 1: better processes in place for legal emots. That's what we've 1012 01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:06,840 Speaker 1: been told. But what's really happened because of all the 1013 01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:11,080 Speaker 1: media stories about the dreamer valedictorians and all this stuff 1014 01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:15,520 Speaker 1: that they all the essentially pro illegal propaganda that's out there. 1015 01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:19,840 Speaker 1: What's happened is that the Democrats have, over time and 1016 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:24,360 Speaker 1: their base and the ideological left has been conditioned to 1017 01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:28,160 Speaker 1: think that there's really nothing at all that is wrong 1018 01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:31,960 Speaker 1: with illegal immigration, that essentially the only problem that anybody 1019 01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:35,000 Speaker 1: could ever have with legal immigration is rooted in some 1020 01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:39,680 Speaker 1: kind of racism or nativism, and it's not a bad thing. 1021 01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:43,040 Speaker 1: It's just as a thing that has to be managed properly. 1022 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,960 Speaker 1: That now, management of a problem is different from enforcement 1023 01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:52,000 Speaker 1: to stop a problem. Right, the Democrats have essentially decided 1024 01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,560 Speaker 1: as a party. And again they won't say this, but 1025 01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:57,640 Speaker 1: when you hear people like Stacey Abrams talking about it, 1026 01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:01,720 Speaker 1: it's really very clear, I think how they feel about 1027 01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:04,840 Speaker 1: this issue. But the Democrats have made a decision that 1028 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:08,920 Speaker 1: there is no longer anything wrong with illegal aliens in 1029 01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,480 Speaker 1: the country, that there's no problem with it at just 1030 01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:17,800 Speaker 1: how do we how do we best manage integrating them 1031 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:22,800 Speaker 1: into society, registering them for votes, making them citizens. You know, 1032 01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:26,120 Speaker 1: And they haven't consulted most of the American people on 1033 01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:27,960 Speaker 1: this one. They've just decided that this is the right 1034 01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:31,280 Speaker 1: thing for them to do. And you'll see it first 1035 01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,400 Speaker 1: at the local level, and then it will expand and 1036 01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:39,520 Speaker 1: eventually there will be pushing for congressional legislation. And think 1037 01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:42,920 Speaker 1: about how much more powerful at that point the political 1038 01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,360 Speaker 1: constituency for this will be. When you have millions and 1039 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:50,720 Speaker 1: millions of about to be legalized, mostly Latino illegal aliens 1040 01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,080 Speaker 1: in the country. Do you think that a lot of politicians, 1041 01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:54,600 Speaker 1: if they think they're going to be the wrong side 1042 01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:57,600 Speaker 1: of this, will stand against it. I think the answer 1043 01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:03,280 Speaker 1: is most certainly no. I think then the momentum for 1044 01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:05,880 Speaker 1: this will be stronger than it's ever been. So this 1045 01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:08,680 Speaker 1: is just Stacy Abrams is giving you a glimpse into 1046 01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,040 Speaker 1: the future in this country when eventually they will be 1047 01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:15,480 Speaker 1: openly advocating for illegal aliens to vote, not just in 1048 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:19,680 Speaker 1: local elections, but they will eventually advocate for them to 1049 01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:23,640 Speaker 1: have the full rights of citizenship once they are amnestaded. 1050 01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:29,000 Speaker 1: I guarantee it. I guarantee it. That's why this promise, Oh, 1051 01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,720 Speaker 1: it's just amnesty. It won't lead to votes. This is 1052 01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,640 Speaker 1: a lie. This is a lie, just like so many 1053 01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:36,320 Speaker 1: of the lies they told us an immigration for the 1054 01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 1: last twenty or so years, thirty or so years, and 1055 01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,600 Speaker 1: it's just going to get worse. That's why Trump has 1056 01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:48,720 Speaker 1: to stand firm now bullying the me too movement against 1057 01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:57,360 Speaker 1: Is this the best demand can get it? Is it 1058 01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:03,440 Speaker 1: happening Billy as well? Problem we can't hide from harassment 1059 01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,120 Speaker 1: is taking off. It's been going on far too long. 1060 01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 1: We can't last it off. What I actually think she's 1061 01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:22,760 Speaker 1: trying to say, making the same old excuses, but something 1062 01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:27,880 Speaker 1: finally change allegations regarding sexual assault and sexual harassments once, 1063 01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:32,919 Speaker 1: but she says, and there will be no going back, 1064 01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:38,320 Speaker 1: because we we believe in the best in men. So 1065 01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,880 Speaker 1: you might be thinking, what is this weird commercial that 1066 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:45,320 Speaker 1: is running on Buck show? That's actually a public service announcement, 1067 01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:50,880 Speaker 1: a public service announcement from Gillette, which I'm sure many 1068 01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:52,680 Speaker 1: of you are familiar with. It is a subsidiary of 1069 01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:56,360 Speaker 1: Procter and Gamble. They make the razors and the shaving 1070 01:04:56,400 --> 01:05:00,240 Speaker 1: cream and all that stuff. And this is a a 1071 01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:07,880 Speaker 1: very clearly political stance or a cultural commentary PSA on 1072 01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:12,840 Speaker 1: toxic masculinity, which is now a subject that we're all 1073 01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 1: supposed to talk about. I have many, many feelings about this, 1074 01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:21,240 Speaker 1: and it comes in the aftermath of the American psycho 1075 01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:26,200 Speaker 1: psychological association or whatever it's called putting out these guidelines 1076 01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 1: for dealing with toxic masculinity. Most of what people talk 1077 01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:35,840 Speaker 1: about as toxic masculinity is really just covered by the 1078 01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:41,120 Speaker 1: very sage advice. Don't be a huge jerk, don't be 1079 01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:48,640 Speaker 1: a bad person, don't abuse people, don't be predatory in 1080 01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:52,320 Speaker 1: your interactions with people. Don't use your power to leverage 1081 01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:55,200 Speaker 1: yourself onto people physically or otherwise in a way that 1082 01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:59,200 Speaker 1: makes them uncomfortable. This is all just stuff that anybody 1083 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:03,600 Speaker 1: with a pretty good sense of ethics and decency doesn't 1084 01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:07,200 Speaker 1: have to be told. But you see, just as it 1085 01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,640 Speaker 1: was only a matter of time before the me too 1086 01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:14,280 Speaker 1: movement which is mentioned in this ad, before the me 1087 01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:19,600 Speaker 1: too movement was weaponized for explicitly partisan political purposes, which 1088 01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:21,160 Speaker 1: is what we saw in the Kavanaugh hearing. I mean, 1089 01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:26,480 Speaker 1: the Kavanaugh hearing was the culmination of a lot of 1090 01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:30,480 Speaker 1: me too momentum that came from very legitimate cases, very 1091 01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:34,400 Speaker 1: very high profile true abusers being exposed. So there were 1092 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,320 Speaker 1: good things there. I mean, that's that's to be sure, right. 1093 01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:40,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and any movement can be capable 1094 01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:44,600 Speaker 1: of some positive things along the way, But that doesn't 1095 01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,560 Speaker 1: mean that all things along the way should be excused, 1096 01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:52,560 Speaker 1: should be considered inherently positive because other things have been positive. Right, 1097 01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:56,080 Speaker 1: we can look at a whole bunch of different events 1098 01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:59,480 Speaker 1: and political movement throughout history and understand this. And with 1099 01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:04,760 Speaker 1: this assault on what they call toxic masculinity, what you 1100 01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:07,800 Speaker 1: will see is, Okay, sure, I don't want to be 1101 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:13,640 Speaker 1: a bully, a jerk, a sexual harasser, or a sexual assaulter. 1102 01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:15,680 Speaker 1: You know, you go through all this stuff, somebody who 1103 01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:19,520 Speaker 1: makes comments, you know, hey, tuts to somebody in the 1104 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:21,720 Speaker 1: office and says, you know, make me a sandwich, and 1105 01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,240 Speaker 1: you know, stuff like that. Right, nobody, nobody wants to 1106 01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:27,280 Speaker 1: be those things. And there's very good reasons why we 1107 01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:33,120 Speaker 1: shouldn't treat each other that way. But toxic masculinity is 1108 01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:36,680 Speaker 1: then a concept that's used for a whole lot more 1109 01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:41,080 Speaker 1: things than just bad behavior. Toxic masculinity starts to now 1110 01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:47,800 Speaker 1: become a way to describe aggressive male behavior that can 1111 01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:51,520 Speaker 1: be very useful, right that you know you want, I mean, 1112 01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:53,280 Speaker 1: I would argue to you that you know, it is 1113 01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:58,680 Speaker 1: masculinity that inspires a guy who is at a bar 1114 01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:03,400 Speaker 1: or at a party to intervene when somebody who is 1115 01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,440 Speaker 1: weaker than somebody else is being picked on, or to 1116 01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:10,480 Speaker 1: intervene when a guy is harassing a woman, maybe grabbing 1117 01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:13,320 Speaker 1: at her, groping a woman that you know that the 1118 01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:17,799 Speaker 1: guy who's the bystander doesn't even know he intervenes because 1119 01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:21,240 Speaker 1: he has a masculine impulse to do so. I mean, 1120 01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:26,160 Speaker 1: I think it is masculinity that makes a guy who 1121 01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:30,360 Speaker 1: is out with a lady feel the need to protect 1122 01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,640 Speaker 1: her physically and protect her honor and protect her her 1123 01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:38,120 Speaker 1: dignity along with his own. We used to call this chivalry, 1124 01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,719 Speaker 1: but now that that's a that's a term that's feels 1125 01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:43,800 Speaker 1: so outdated we can't use it anymore. But also I 1126 01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:46,559 Speaker 1: would say, you know, toxic masculinity is now used as 1127 01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:50,960 Speaker 1: a term, a very broad term to and they use 1128 01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:54,840 Speaker 1: it intentionally in this way to conflate what are very 1129 01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:58,640 Speaker 1: political stances with the criticism of toxic masculinity. What I 1130 01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:03,479 Speaker 1: mean is you can look at say gender norms, and 1131 01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:07,240 Speaker 1: now if you're if you want your child to dress 1132 01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:09,559 Speaker 1: as a boy at a young age, if it's a boy, 1133 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,240 Speaker 1: instead of saying we're going to have you in gender 1134 01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:16,360 Speaker 1: neutral clothing, maybe that is if you're a father, your 1135 01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:20,639 Speaker 1: own impulse of toxic masculinity. The left would say, coming 1136 01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:25,280 Speaker 1: out right, maybe that desire to institute what you would 1137 01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:29,920 Speaker 1: see as traditional gender roles and gender feelings is somehow 1138 01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:34,800 Speaker 1: connected to your own toxic masculinity. This is how this 1139 01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:38,439 Speaker 1: concept is being bandied about these days. And you know, 1140 01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:41,040 Speaker 1: it reminds me also of this piece I read in 1141 01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:45,120 Speaker 1: the Washington Post over the weekend that goes through it 1142 01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:50,320 Speaker 1: and talks about the new guidelines from the APA when 1143 01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:53,479 Speaker 1: it comes to dealing with men and boys, and it 1144 01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:57,519 Speaker 1: goes through all of these different, these different statistics about 1145 01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:01,400 Speaker 1: about homicide and about suicide, and you know, the truth 1146 01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:05,040 Speaker 1: is that a lot of this is biologically driven. And 1147 01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:08,080 Speaker 1: they also for people that are so interested in science, 1148 01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,720 Speaker 1: they don't seem to have much care for looking at 1149 01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:16,600 Speaker 1: what does testosterone do versus what does estrogen do in 1150 01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:22,320 Speaker 1: the body, what psychological impact does testosterone have? And I'm 1151 01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:25,560 Speaker 1: not saying that this is determinative, meaning that because you 1152 01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:27,920 Speaker 1: have more or less testosterone, you're going to act in 1153 01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:30,400 Speaker 1: a certain way, and therefore it will either excuse or 1154 01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:36,120 Speaker 1: entirely explain it. But the left is fascinated with gender 1155 01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:39,240 Speaker 1: differences until they're not right. They're fascinated with the gender 1156 01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:42,800 Speaker 1: spectrum and gender identity, but they have very little interest, 1157 01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:48,000 Speaker 1: it seems, in understanding the role that biochemistry plays in 1158 01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:51,600 Speaker 1: the way that we approach gender. And the fact of 1159 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:55,519 Speaker 1: the matter is that testosterone manifests itself in differences that 1160 01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:59,000 Speaker 1: are not only physical. They manifest themselves in differences in 1161 01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:06,280 Speaker 1: the psychology of individuals, and men are, because of our biology, 1162 01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:11,520 Speaker 1: more prone to be aggressive, more prone to approach situations 1163 01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:14,720 Speaker 1: in a certain way. This is just a reality that 1164 01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:17,080 Speaker 1: we're all aware of. But you know, the left likes 1165 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:20,800 Speaker 1: to try and force us to unlearn common sense and 1166 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:24,679 Speaker 1: replace it with what is politically fashionable at any point 1167 01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:27,680 Speaker 1: in time, and this idea of toxic masculinity as a 1168 01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,960 Speaker 1: problem that we have to tackle to say, I don't. 1169 01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:32,960 Speaker 1: I think the problem we have in this country is 1170 01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:36,639 Speaker 1: that we are not rewarding and speaking up enough about 1171 01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:41,000 Speaker 1: men who are masculine in all the right ways, and 1172 01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:44,920 Speaker 1: that their sense of purpose and achievement and strength and 1173 01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:50,200 Speaker 1: dignity against all the odds, and their willingness to go 1174 01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:53,439 Speaker 1: and fight for what is good and what is right. 1175 01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:58,040 Speaker 1: We want to foster that in society. We do not 1176 01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:01,720 Speaker 1: want to create a culture of past men. We do 1177 01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:03,600 Speaker 1: not want to create a culture where men think that 1178 01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:06,840 Speaker 1: they have to approach their day to day lives the 1179 01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:13,200 Speaker 1: way that traditionally or historically women have thought they should 1180 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:15,040 Speaker 1: approach the day to day lives, because men and women 1181 01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:19,160 Speaker 1: are different, and that now is increasingly a revolutionary thing 1182 01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:21,840 Speaker 1: to say that there's a separation between men and women 1183 01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:26,720 Speaker 1: that are biology manifests itself indifferences that are real and observable. 1184 01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:30,519 Speaker 1: And yet the science right now, at least from the 1185 01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:37,479 Speaker 1: shrink community, is increasingly pointed toward be less masculine, because 1186 01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:40,080 Speaker 1: too much masculinity is inherently a bad thing. That's not 1187 01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:47,400 Speaker 1: true destructive masculinity, which is separate and apart from anything 1188 01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:53,280 Speaker 1: that is necessarily masculine. Just acting poorly, unethically, badly, that's 1189 01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:56,280 Speaker 1: a bad thing. But we don't need psychologists to tell 1190 01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,320 Speaker 1: us that, do we. And we've known what is moral 1191 01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:02,679 Speaker 1: and what is right interactions with each other, with women, 1192 01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:07,200 Speaker 1: with everybody for a very long time. It's not all 1193 01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:10,800 Speaker 1: about this toxic masculinity concept. And be on guard for 1194 01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:15,960 Speaker 1: how this is deployed in conversation by the left. Man, 1195 01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:18,720 Speaker 1: the left can always find something to whine about. Right now, 1196 01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:22,200 Speaker 1: it's wells don't work and Trump is a Russian agent. 1197 01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:25,320 Speaker 1: But we know that's not true, right, And we also 1198 01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:27,759 Speaker 1: know that maybe if the Left just drank some delicious 1199 01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:30,880 Speaker 1: Black Rifle coffee, they would learn to chill just a 1200 01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,880 Speaker 1: bit and enjoy life and stop complaining.

There's a really stunning piece in the Wall 1214 01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:23,680 Speaker 1: Street Journal that I would recommend to all of you. 1215 01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:27,799 Speaker 1: When you get a moment. It's a Parkland father's quest 1216 01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:33,559 Speaker 1: for accountability, and it tells the story of Andrew Pollock, 1217 01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:40,519 Speaker 1: whose daughter Meadow was among those who were viciously murdered 1218 01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:47,080 Speaker 1: Seventeen people killed, fourteen students in three adults during the 1219 01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:53,080 Speaker 1: eleven minutes of the park Parkland school shooting at Marjorie 1220 01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:58,560 Speaker 1: Stoneman Douglas High School. Mister Pollock lost his daughter, and 1221 01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:02,800 Speaker 1: he has been aging something of a one man crusade 1222 01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:08,400 Speaker 1: for accountability in this whole process. You see, he unlike 1223 01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:15,920 Speaker 1: the lionized Parkland students, which by that I mean just 1224 01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:20,040 Speaker 1: a handful really three of them, who are very progressive 1225 01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:22,719 Speaker 1: and who have been turned into celebrities by the media 1226 01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:26,160 Speaker 1: because they're willing to say things like the NRA is 1227 01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:29,840 Speaker 1: a terrorist organization. This David hog kid in a couple 1228 01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:36,080 Speaker 1: of his confederates. They say really inappropriate and indefensively stupid 1229 01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:40,519 Speaker 1: and unfair things. But the NRA is the enemy. Gun 1230 01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:43,759 Speaker 1: owners are the bad guys, and the liberal left media 1231 01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:47,040 Speaker 1: loves that can't get enough of it. As I have 1232 01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:49,000 Speaker 1: said to you, and it's an important point, so I 1233 01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:54,400 Speaker 1: repeat it. Much of what is really opposition to guns 1234 01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:58,479 Speaker 1: in this country has turned into the left's hatred for 1235 01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:01,680 Speaker 1: gun owners. It really is about despising the people who 1236 01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:05,280 Speaker 1: own the guns, and it's a cultural marker. If you 1237 01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:08,240 Speaker 1: own guns, you're the wrong kind of person. If you 1238 01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:11,160 Speaker 1: support the Second Amendment, you're the wrong kind of person. 1239 01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,519 Speaker 1: And there is a contempt that the left has for 1240 01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:18,960 Speaker 1: people who own guns. Now you know David Hogg's name 1241 01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:21,839 Speaker 1: and some of the other names probably as well, because 1242 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:26,519 Speaker 1: they were held up as exactly what should be done 1243 01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,920 Speaker 1: after a school shooting, which is demonize the NRA and 1244 01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:34,320 Speaker 1: gun owners and tell people who disagree on policy matters 1245 01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:37,280 Speaker 1: that they don't care about dead children and the victim's 1246 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:41,320 Speaker 1: status of those kids, meaning the kids that are speaking 1247 01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:44,760 Speaker 1: out publicly about this is used not just as a 1248 01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,400 Speaker 1: shield against criticism, but it then becomes weaponized. If you 1249 01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:51,759 Speaker 1: were to say that David Hogg is a smug punk, 1250 01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:54,960 Speaker 1: which he is, then people say, oh my gosh, he 1251 01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:58,400 Speaker 1: survived a tragedy. You're terrible, you're horrible person. Meanwhile, he's 1252 01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:01,519 Speaker 1: calling for boycotts against people and trying to ruin people's careers. 1253 01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:05,360 Speaker 1: Mister Pollock, however, takes a different approach to all of this. 1254 01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:10,760 Speaker 1: He really looks at who is responsible here, meaning who 1255 01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:14,320 Speaker 1: could have done something differently so that all these lives 1256 01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:19,240 Speaker 1: would not have been lost, Who put in place policies 1257 01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:23,280 Speaker 1: that were so idiotic and so reckless that the people 1258 01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:28,720 Speaker 1: implementing those policies bear some degree of the responsibility for 1259 01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:32,720 Speaker 1: the tragedy that happened. He's a father who lost his 1260 01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:36,519 Speaker 1: daughter to a murder, a mass murder in her high school, 1261 01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:40,439 Speaker 1: and he wants answers, and he gets far less attention 1262 01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:45,280 Speaker 1: in the media because the answers he's looking for really matter. 1263 01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:49,719 Speaker 1: He's not saying that people who own guns, the sixty 1264 01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:52,120 Speaker 1: million gun owners in this country, are the bad guys. 1265 01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:55,080 Speaker 1: He's not saying the Second Amendment is terrible and flawed. 1266 01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:58,360 Speaker 1: He's saying, hold on a second, what could have been 1267 01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:01,599 Speaker 1: done differently so that lives here would have been saved, 1268 01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:04,720 Speaker 1: or perhaps no lives would have been lost? And he 1269 01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:07,320 Speaker 1: points his finger, of course, at the murderer. He says, 1270 01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:10,160 Speaker 1: the murderer, I blame the murder for fifty percent of 1271 01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:13,720 Speaker 1: what happened, mister Pollock says in this piece. But then 1272 01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:15,960 Speaker 1: he goes on to make a very compelling case that 1273 01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:20,320 Speaker 1: it's much more than just the murderer that should be 1274 01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:24,800 Speaker 1: held accountable here, not accountable for murder, but held to 1275 01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:30,240 Speaker 1: account for their mistakes. Quote. Mister Pollock believes that political 1276 01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:34,160 Speaker 1: correctness killed Meadow. A prominent villain in his narrative is 1277 01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:38,080 Speaker 1: Robert Runs, who came to Broward from Chicago in twenty eleven. 1278 01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:42,080 Speaker 1: As a superintendent of the county's public schools, mister Runs 1279 01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:46,240 Speaker 1: introduced a program called Promise, a feel good acronym for 1280 01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:54,360 Speaker 1: preventing recidivism through opportunities, mentoring, interventions, support and education, under 1281 01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,720 Speaker 1: which students who commit crimes in public schools would no 1282 01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:02,320 Speaker 1: longer be reported to the police by administrators. Under Promise, 1283 01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:05,640 Speaker 1: students would be evaluated and dealt with exclusively within the 1284 01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:12,000 Speaker 1: schools associated reform programs. Even felonies as severe as drug dealing, 1285 01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:16,679 Speaker 1: sexual assault, and bringing weapons to school could be lawfully 1286 01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:21,799 Speaker 1: kept from the police. End quote. This is a policy 1287 01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:25,840 Speaker 1: of covering up people who are a danger in the 1288 01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:32,240 Speaker 1: school system. This was a few good, political correct lefty 1289 01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:37,920 Speaker 1: approach to school discipline, and the result was that people 1290 01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:41,080 Speaker 1: who were really a problem, people who were a threat 1291 01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:44,320 Speaker 1: to their fellow students, were being given second and third 1292 01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:48,800 Speaker 1: and fifteenth and thirtieth chances. Can't tell the cops if 1293 01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:52,040 Speaker 1: they bring weapons into school, can't give them a record 1294 01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:55,760 Speaker 1: because you see the record they have. Would then fall 1295 01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:59,080 Speaker 1: into this idea of the school to prison pipeline. This 1296 01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:03,280 Speaker 1: is a social justice warrior phrase that's supposed to mean 1297 01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:07,560 Speaker 1: that because schools aren't doing enough in terms of discipline 1298 01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:11,080 Speaker 1: and life coaching and whatever, mentoring all these different things, 1299 01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:15,640 Speaker 1: that people become violent felons. They become dangerous, and so 1300 01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:19,479 Speaker 1: it's society's fault. It's not the felon's fault. Society put 1301 01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:23,760 Speaker 1: them in the school to prison pipeline. You see, Well, 1302 01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:28,280 Speaker 1: why does this have so much residence with the social 1303 01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:31,640 Speaker 1: justice left. Oh, of course there's a racial angle to 1304 01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:35,599 Speaker 1: all of this. We are told that when you actually 1305 01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:41,599 Speaker 1: have school administrators reporting dangerous violent criminal behavior in schools, 1306 01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:46,519 Speaker 1: there's a disproportionate effect on minority students. Therefore the system 1307 01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:50,160 Speaker 1: must be racist, so we should just stop reporting these crimes. 1308 01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:52,559 Speaker 1: Here's a quote from the Peace Remember this is about 1309 01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:56,240 Speaker 1: the administrator for the school district that Parkland was in, 1310 01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:59,200 Speaker 1: who came up with these policies. This guy Runsie quote 1311 01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:04,240 Speaker 1: saw that minority students were being referred to the police 1312 01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:07,760 Speaker 1: at higher rates than whites. Mister Pollock tells it. Rather 1313 01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:10,960 Speaker 1: than recognize that misbehavior can be the result of many 1314 01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:15,240 Speaker 1: complex problems outside of school or at home, the superintendent 1315 01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:19,959 Speaker 1: concluded the disparity was because teachers in schools were racist 1316 01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:24,000 Speaker 1: with no reporting, Now there's no crime. The school's data 1317 01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:29,439 Speaker 1: looks great. Problem solved, but a much worse problem was created. 1318 01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:33,120 Speaker 1: No student has a criminal background as a result. So 1319 01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:35,880 Speaker 1: once you graduate from school and want to buy a gun, 1320 01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:40,880 Speaker 1: background checks are useless. Oh end quote. Look at the 1321 01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:45,960 Speaker 1: complexity here. Liberals like to bleat about background checks. Oh, 1322 01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:47,800 Speaker 1: that's going to solve it. If we just have more 1323 01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:51,919 Speaker 1: background checks, there won't be any more violence at schools. Meanwhile, 1324 01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:58,320 Speaker 1: there feel good do goodism policies that put social justice 1325 01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:01,519 Speaker 1: ahead of safety in the school and that think that 1326 01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:04,880 Speaker 1: there must be something inherently. Look, the fact of the 1327 01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:09,840 Speaker 1: matter is that there are racial disparities under murder statutes too, 1328 01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:13,080 Speaker 1: Meaning there's a racial disparity for people convicted of murder. 1329 01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:16,840 Speaker 1: Does that mean that we stop enforcing laws about murder? 1330 01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:18,599 Speaker 1: That's just a fact. By the way, people can get 1331 01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:21,000 Speaker 1: all uncomfortable and get angry about that, it is a fact. 1332 01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:25,360 Speaker 1: So if there is a disparity in school discipline resulting 1333 01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:28,400 Speaker 1: in referrals to the police. Do we pretend that those 1334 01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:32,240 Speaker 1: infractions that are actually criminal infractions are not happening. The 1335 01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:36,920 Speaker 1: answer in this school district in Florida was yes, pretend 1336 01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:41,880 Speaker 1: it's not happening. Pretend that there's no threat here. And oh, 1337 01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:46,000 Speaker 1: in this case, it means that some sickomaniac white kid. 1338 01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:50,360 Speaker 1: Because of this overall policy meant to deal with discriminatory 1339 01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:56,280 Speaker 1: racist practices of telling cops about criminal activity in the schools, 1340 01:22:56,560 --> 01:23:02,759 Speaker 1: this psychotic white kid killed seventeen people. Mister Pollock quote 1341 01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:06,519 Speaker 1: describes the Broward County School District as ground zero for 1342 01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:09,799 Speaker 1: a horrible approach to school safety that's spread across America. 1343 01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:14,800 Speaker 1: In January twenty fourteen, the Obama administration issued guidelines to 1344 01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:17,960 Speaker 1: the nation's school boards directing them to adopt Promise like 1345 01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:22,040 Speaker 1: policies or risk a federal investigation and loss of funding. 1346 01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:26,400 Speaker 1: The report of the Trump's School Safety Commission, published December eighteenth, 1347 01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:31,960 Speaker 1: recommended abolishing such programs. School boards won't be hounded anymore 1348 01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:34,400 Speaker 1: to put these policies in place, mister Pollock says, But 1349 01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:38,080 Speaker 1: there's nothing to stop a board from choosing to adopt promise, 1350 01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:44,840 Speaker 1: and Broward County has not abandoned it. So while, at 1351 01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:49,759 Speaker 1: least because the Obama administration was threatening schools to adopt 1352 01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:54,599 Speaker 1: these crazy policies that if they decided to deviate from, 1353 01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:58,360 Speaker 1: they could lose funding. Obama was basically, through his Department 1354 01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:01,360 Speaker 1: of Education, saying, well, you don't want schools to have 1355 01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:04,920 Speaker 1: a disparate racial impact in their disciplinary policy. So if 1356 01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:07,160 Speaker 1: a kid brings a gun into school, don't tell the cops. 1357 01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:10,360 Speaker 1: Put them into a diversionary mentoring program. If a kid 1358 01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:13,479 Speaker 1: sexually assaults a fellow student, you know, don't tell the cops. 1359 01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:16,479 Speaker 1: Put them into a diversionary mentoring program. And no record, 1360 01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:19,080 Speaker 1: by the way, no criminal records. So then when they 1361 01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:21,439 Speaker 1: do bad things later on, it's like, oh, where did 1362 01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:26,000 Speaker 1: this come from. It's just a way of scheming and 1363 01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:29,240 Speaker 1: gaming the stats to make school safety look better than 1364 01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:32,080 Speaker 1: it was. And this was top down from the Obama administration. 1365 01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:36,800 Speaker 1: And you have to wonder how bad, how bad of 1366 01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:39,559 Speaker 1: an apple could get through this process, I mean, how 1367 01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:43,040 Speaker 1: rotten a kid because of this policy, because of the 1368 01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:48,000 Speaker 1: Obama administration's top down view of school safety, who could 1369 01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:52,160 Speaker 1: get through this Well, this is a description of the 1370 01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:59,200 Speaker 1: shooter himself Nicholas Cruz quote. In middle school, he was 1371 01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,600 Speaker 1: required to have a adult supervision at all times. In 1372 01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:06,120 Speaker 1: high school, he vandalized a bathroom, causing more than a 1373 01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:10,360 Speaker 1: thousand dollars of damage. He racially abused black students and 1374 01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,880 Speaker 1: had fist fights with them. He carved swastikas on his desk. 1375 01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:18,600 Speaker 1: He hurled furniture across classrooms. He threw hard objects at 1376 01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:22,280 Speaker 1: other students, sometimes injuring them. He brought dead animals to 1377 01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:25,960 Speaker 1: school and often waived them before other students. He threatened 1378 01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:28,679 Speaker 1: to kill teachers and other students and shoot up the school. 1379 01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:32,840 Speaker 1: He wrote kill in his notebooks and spoke frequently about guns. 1380 01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:35,720 Speaker 1: He brought knives to school, and on one occasion, a 1381 01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:40,240 Speaker 1: backpack full of bullets. Mister Pollock said after that the 1382 01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:42,680 Speaker 1: school banned him from bringing a backpack to school. But 1383 01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:45,599 Speaker 1: I ask you, if he's too dangerous to wear a backpack, 1384 01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:48,320 Speaker 1: why isn't he too dangerous to be in class with 1385 01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:51,679 Speaker 1: kids like my daughter? That is a damn good question, 1386 01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:56,000 Speaker 1: isn't it. See this father whose life will never be 1387 01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:58,240 Speaker 1: the same, who suffers heartbreak every day of losing his 1388 01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:02,560 Speaker 1: beautiful baby girl, His father wants to find out what 1389 01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:08,640 Speaker 1: really went wrong here. Whose stupidity allowed Nicholas Cruz to 1390 01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:15,120 Speaker 1: go without the punitive justice that should have been visited 1391 01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:19,719 Speaker 1: upon him, well before any possibility of a mass shooting. 1392 01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:24,880 Speaker 1: What stupid federal level policies prevented the police from being 1393 01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:27,439 Speaker 1: more aware of what he was doing in school? And yes, 1394 01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:29,960 Speaker 1: the police were called dozens and dozens of times to 1395 01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:32,360 Speaker 1: his home and they still couldn't do something. But at 1396 01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:35,680 Speaker 1: least there would have been a greater chance, at least 1397 01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:39,120 Speaker 1: there would have been some hope if the school expelled him, 1398 01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:41,120 Speaker 1: kept him out of the school, that this would not 1399 01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:45,160 Speaker 1: have happened. But you see, he's looking for real answers, 1400 01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:48,240 Speaker 1: real policy solutions. The left would rather just say the 1401 01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:51,640 Speaker 1: NRA is a terrorist organization, That's why this happened, and 1402 01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:55,680 Speaker 1: elevate the imbeciles that spread that lie, while fathers like 1403 01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:58,920 Speaker 1: mister Pollock have to just suffer and try to find 1404 01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:02,880 Speaker 1: answers on their own.

Or go to MYGVN 1419 01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:55,799 Speaker 1: dot com again, that's my GVN dot com. Global Verification Network. 1420 01:27:56,200 --> 01:28:01,160 Speaker 1: Leave no stone unturned. You know, sometimes a writer puts 1421 01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:03,000 Speaker 1: something out there and I feel like, oh, okay, so 1422 01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:05,200 Speaker 1: this is just meant to troll people, and that's one 1423 01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:07,400 Speaker 1: way to get attention, and it's going to get a 1424 01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:09,479 Speaker 1: certain group of people all fired up, and that can 1425 01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:13,160 Speaker 1: be a very effective tactic. I'm not necessarily putting it 1426 01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:15,840 Speaker 1: putting it down. It depends on how it's done and 1427 01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:18,160 Speaker 1: what the topic is and all the rest of it. 1428 01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:23,120 Speaker 1: I would just say, though, when people are celebrating their 1429 01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:27,599 Speaker 1: kids performances, if you tell them to tone it down 1430 01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:31,559 Speaker 1: a little bit. You may you may find yourself getting 1431 01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:35,439 Speaker 1: some pretty angry parents at you. But I agree with 1432 01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:38,920 Speaker 1: a general principle that has advanced by this one writer 1433 01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:42,840 Speaker 1: or national review. Although I can't speak about kids performances 1434 01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:46,360 Speaker 1: because I don't have any kids. Sarah shoot, or it 1435 01:28:46,439 --> 01:28:49,760 Speaker 1: might be shoot, I don't know, or Scott, could be 1436 01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:53,280 Speaker 1: any number of ways to say this name. Please stay seated. 1437 01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:58,400 Speaker 1: And she writes that our participation award obsessed culture doesn't 1438 01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:02,880 Speaker 1: understand the true meaning of a standing ovation. And she 1439 01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:06,280 Speaker 1: goes in to say that at every children's performance in 1440 01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:11,920 Speaker 1: the K through twelve range, there's this understanding that at 1441 01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:14,320 Speaker 1: the end of whatever it is, everybody has to stand 1442 01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:17,960 Speaker 1: up and give a standing ovation. Look, I'm with her, 1443 01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:21,520 Speaker 1: and that standing oh, should be something where something's really fantastic. 1444 01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:24,360 Speaker 1: And I don't think that we do people favors, even 1445 01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:27,160 Speaker 1: high schoolers. Look, little kids, I don't know, but even 1446 01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:29,479 Speaker 1: high schoolers, I don't know if we do them favors 1447 01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:31,920 Speaker 1: by making them think that everything they do is amazing. 1448 01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:36,080 Speaker 1: Applause of course, right support great, well done, standing ovation, 1449 01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:40,719 Speaker 1: But I leave this to the parenting experts in our audience, 1450 01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:42,960 Speaker 1: which as far as I'm concerned as everybody who has 1451 01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:45,680 Speaker 1: a kid, they know more about kids than I do. 1452 01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:49,160 Speaker 1: I will say this, though, I have noticed that at 1453 01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:53,400 Speaker 1: the theater or at any kind of live performance, there 1454 01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:59,360 Speaker 1: is this inclination to go for the standing oh right away. 1455 01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:02,960 Speaker 1: And I got problems with this. Okay, we all know 1456 01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:06,839 Speaker 1: when something's really worthy of the standing ovation. Standing ovation 1457 01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:09,760 Speaker 1: needs to be. This is like mind blowing awesome, and 1458 01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:12,679 Speaker 1: I feel the need to get up on my feet 1459 01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:16,240 Speaker 1: because of it. Standing ovation is not supposed to be expected, 1460 01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:18,800 Speaker 1: you know. But then again, I'm also somebody that has 1461 01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:22,000 Speaker 1: a problem with the expectation of a twenty percent tip 1462 01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:24,800 Speaker 1: at a restaurant. Twenty percent is supposed to be like 1463 01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:27,760 Speaker 1: if the service is really good, if the service is 1464 01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:29,600 Speaker 1: just kind of mediocre. I feel like it's supposed to 1465 01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:32,639 Speaker 1: be fifteen percent, maybe seventeen percent, But a twenty percent 1466 01:30:32,760 --> 01:30:35,679 Speaker 1: tip is supposed to be, you know, hey, great stuff. 1467 01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:38,799 Speaker 1: I have given twenty five percent tips before. If somebody 1468 01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:42,000 Speaker 1: does me a favor during the meal, it really does 1469 01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:45,120 Speaker 1: something fantastic, catches something. Maybe the kitchen didn't like that 1470 01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:47,120 Speaker 1: dish has gluten in it, and even though they told 1471 01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:49,600 Speaker 1: me that it doesn't, stuff like that, you know, but 1472 01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:54,240 Speaker 1: there's an expectation that we're supposed to pretend that things 1473 01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:57,519 Speaker 1: are excellent that aren't. Service is excellent that isn't. A 1474 01:30:57,640 --> 01:31:00,439 Speaker 1: performance is excellent that isn't. And when you're at a 1475 01:31:00,520 --> 01:31:03,800 Speaker 1: performance and there's that whole standing oh moment, you know, yeah, 1476 01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:06,840 Speaker 1: everyone stands up and does the whole clamping thing. If 1477 01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:11,160 Speaker 1: you are like me and you're sitting down, I don't 1478 01:31:11,240 --> 01:31:13,640 Speaker 1: want to look at the back of somebody who was 1479 01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:17,880 Speaker 1: clapping maniacally because of whatever's going on. I don't. I 1480 01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:20,920 Speaker 1: don't want to have to then stand just so I 1481 01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:22,800 Speaker 1: can see what's going on on stage. I want to 1482 01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:25,080 Speaker 1: see the curtain calls. I want to see. Now, I 1483 01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:26,439 Speaker 1: know this is a little bit of a get off 1484 01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:30,000 Speaker 1: my lawn segment, but you understand it's it's it's a 1485 01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:34,120 Speaker 1: cultural thing that we should all agree upon. The standing 1486 01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:37,639 Speaker 1: ovation should be reserved for things that are truly excellent, 1487 01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:40,040 Speaker 1: not just for things that are like really really good 1488 01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:43,559 Speaker 1: or good enough. And you know, it's like I told 1489 01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:45,920 Speaker 1: somebody recently. I can't remember where I saw this on 1490 01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:48,960 Speaker 1: the internet, but it was parenting advice from I think 1491 01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:50,920 Speaker 1: it was a major league baseball player who said you know, 1492 01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:53,519 Speaker 1: gotta get your son to start giving you high fives 1493 01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:55,880 Speaker 1: early so he understands how the high five works. Get 1494 01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:59,760 Speaker 1: some psyched and enthusiastic about everything. But once you've really 1495 01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:01,599 Speaker 1: trained in with that high five, you got to throw 1496 01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:05,639 Speaker 1: in a down low too slow because life ain't fair. 1497 01:32:06,439 --> 01:32:08,640 Speaker 1: And it's true, you know, I think of the some 1498 01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:10,720 Speaker 1: of the things that I've learned about you know, you 1499 01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:13,040 Speaker 1: always want to be you always want people to support 1500 01:32:13,120 --> 01:32:15,559 Speaker 1: you and to be there for you, because that takes 1501 01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:20,240 Speaker 1: into into account, especially for kids, the the whole learning process, right, 1502 01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:21,640 Speaker 1: you need people that are going to be telling you 1503 01:32:21,800 --> 01:32:25,200 Speaker 1: keep going, keep going, not get discouraged. But I don't 1504 01:32:25,240 --> 01:32:26,880 Speaker 1: think it's a good thing to be told you're excellent 1505 01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:29,320 Speaker 1: when you're not. You know, I feel like I feel 1506 01:32:29,320 --> 01:32:31,040 Speaker 1: like I had a route awakening when I came out 1507 01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:32,759 Speaker 1: of college. Like, oh, I went to a good school 1508 01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:36,160 Speaker 1: and and you know, I had an ANS average at 1509 01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:38,720 Speaker 1: a good schools and I was a college kid or whatever. 1510 01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:41,360 Speaker 1: By the way, everybody everybody had like a A minus 1511 01:32:41,439 --> 01:32:43,160 Speaker 1: or a B plus everybody the whole school. That's what 1512 01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:47,360 Speaker 1: I didn't realize until later on in life. But then 1513 01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:49,360 Speaker 1: even when I was waiting and get security clearance. I 1514 01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:51,400 Speaker 1: remember applying for all these jobs. It's like, yeah, man, 1515 01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:54,920 Speaker 1: there's there's hundreds, if not thousands, of grade schools full 1516 01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:57,679 Speaker 1: of kids that got great grades. You're not special. It's like, oh, 1517 01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:00,880 Speaker 1: good to know IB would have been better than knowing 1518 01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:03,040 Speaker 1: that freshman year instead of thinking I could graduate from 1519 01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:06,560 Speaker 1: college and just be special because I wasn't had to 1520 01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:09,120 Speaker 1: try to make myself special. And that came later on 1521 01:33:09,240 --> 01:33:12,000 Speaker 1: in life and still working on that one. Um, we 1522 01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:15,640 Speaker 1: have some other making life special thoughts coming up here 1523 01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:19,080 Speaker 1: in the in the realm of Keto. Should you eat Keto? 1524 01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:23,920 Speaker 1: It's coming up. I am Hans, Am, I am Funds, 1525 01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:28,120 Speaker 1: and we just want Yeah. The truth is I could 1526 01:33:28,200 --> 01:33:30,400 Speaker 1: use little Hans and fronds in my life these days. 1527 01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:33,080 Speaker 1: I got back to the gym yesterday team for the 1528 01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:38,559 Speaker 1: first time in I don't even know three or four, 1529 01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:45,160 Speaker 1: five or months. Um, I managed to. Uh. I was 1530 01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:47,600 Speaker 1: just doing a little bit of closet rearranging and I 1531 01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:50,320 Speaker 1: had a one of those things. I said, Oh, I 1532 01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:54,680 Speaker 1: forgot about that. That uh that suit that I can 1533 01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:56,519 Speaker 1: wear it in the summer. It's not really a winter suit, 1534 01:33:56,560 --> 01:33:58,120 Speaker 1: a summer suit. I was like, Oh, let me just 1535 01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:02,600 Speaker 1: I hope it's still fits, which whenever you think that 1536 01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:04,720 Speaker 1: to yourself usually it's because you know it doesn't fit. 1537 01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:07,200 Speaker 1: And yeah, I got into one of those battles. I'm like, yeah, 1538 01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:09,960 Speaker 1: I gotta get it around the waist, it's gotta get 1539 01:34:10,040 --> 01:34:13,479 Speaker 1: around the just gonna get on. He started, and he 1540 01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:15,280 Speaker 1: suck in. Then you realize, well, I'm not gonna wear 1541 01:34:15,320 --> 01:34:18,920 Speaker 1: it sucking in, so I need to h Anyway, I'm 1542 01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:23,960 Speaker 1: getting after it now. I got back into the gym yesterday, squats, 1543 01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:27,680 Speaker 1: overhead bench, all all the all the meat, the meat 1544 01:34:27,720 --> 01:34:31,439 Speaker 1: and potatoes, basics and men. As I see here today, 1545 01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:33,680 Speaker 1: you would you would think that I just did like 1546 01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:36,439 Speaker 1: a you know, an iron man, I just did a 1547 01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:38,679 Speaker 1: triathlon or something in terms of how my body feels. 1548 01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:40,639 Speaker 1: But no, it was like a thirty minute full body 1549 01:34:40,680 --> 01:34:43,800 Speaker 1: workout that I think you could probably put a fair 1550 01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:46,160 Speaker 1: amount of seventy five year old women through and they'd 1551 01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:50,320 Speaker 1: be fine. So yeah, anyway, I'm I'm committed though, I'm 1552 01:34:50,320 --> 01:34:52,360 Speaker 1: getting back into it. The one thing I'm thinking about, 1553 01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:55,040 Speaker 1: and if Jesse Kelly were here, he would mock me 1554 01:34:55,280 --> 01:34:57,240 Speaker 1: relentlessly for this, so we might have to have him 1555 01:34:57,280 --> 01:34:58,640 Speaker 1: come on. Just so you can make fun of me, 1556 01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:02,720 Speaker 1: is I have reading about intermittent fasting does work. I've 1557 01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:06,200 Speaker 1: done that before and it some of you may have 1558 01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:07,800 Speaker 1: even noticed. It was a couple of years ago, and 1559 01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:12,080 Speaker 1: I just shredded down to probably dropped about twenty pounds 1560 01:35:12,680 --> 01:35:14,640 Speaker 1: and was pretty close to what I would say was 1561 01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:18,639 Speaker 1: my ideal. Wait, if any of you have the secret 1562 01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:22,080 Speaker 1: when it comes to keto and are there enough Keto 1563 01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:25,160 Speaker 1: foods to eat that you feel like you're happy? The 1564 01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:27,400 Speaker 1: one really sad thing that I had to do this 1565 01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:30,760 Speaker 1: weekend was I have quite a chocolate stash that I 1566 01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:33,320 Speaker 1: have built up over recent months. I'm like, I just 1567 01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:34,680 Speaker 1: just a little, just a little bit, you know, just 1568 01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:37,160 Speaker 1: just a little taste, a little taste of the chocolate stash. 1569 01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:40,559 Speaker 1: And what I realized was my chocolate stash has turned 1570 01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:45,200 Speaker 1: into about three different bags of chocolate truffles, six different 1571 01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:49,160 Speaker 1: really high quality chocolate bars. I got some Valerna, I've 1572 01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:52,160 Speaker 1: got all this different stuff in there, and I finally 1573 01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:55,040 Speaker 1: just sealed it all up in one of those tougherware things. 1574 01:35:55,120 --> 01:36:01,639 Speaker 1: I said, until you are back in summer's suit summer 1575 01:36:01,680 --> 01:36:04,960 Speaker 1: suit shape, you are you are only chocolate on weekends. 1576 01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:06,920 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say I'm not eating any chocolate because 1577 01:36:07,080 --> 01:36:09,120 Speaker 1: that would just be a lie. But it would be 1578 01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:11,800 Speaker 1: only chocolate on weekends. But I'm sure a lot of 1579 01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:15,200 Speaker 1: you have your own New Year's resolutions. Maybe they're about, 1580 01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:18,800 Speaker 1: you know, getting into a you know, people say, don't 1581 01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:21,519 Speaker 1: say get back into shape. They don't. That's not the positive. 1582 01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:22,720 Speaker 1: But I think about it that you're going to just 1583 01:36:22,840 --> 01:36:26,040 Speaker 1: build a stronger, healthier you, you know. I like that 1584 01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:29,760 Speaker 1: all I'm going to build a stronger, healthier me. So, 1585 01:36:30,840 --> 01:36:33,960 Speaker 1: you know, until I've reached the point where this is 1586 01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:37,920 Speaker 1: the single biggest radio slash podcast show in the world, 1587 01:36:38,120 --> 01:36:40,000 Speaker 1: I don't think I can afford to just like let it, 1588 01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:43,640 Speaker 1: let it go, you know, just sit and slap my 1589 01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:49,519 Speaker 1: big belly. It's huge bellies full of jelly. I can't 1590 01:36:49,560 --> 01:36:52,040 Speaker 1: do that. I can't do that. So yeah, I'll let 1591 01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:54,600 Speaker 1: you know how it goes.

Lisa rights Buck? 1605 01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:03,479 Speaker 1: All the previous votes for Border Security and the Secure 1606 01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:07,240 Speaker 1: Offences Act, the twenty five billion dollars Schumer voted for 1607 01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:11,280 Speaker 1: last year. Where has all this money gone? Ard one program? 1608 01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:14,240 Speaker 1: Either you or sewn? There was funding at one time 1609 01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:18,360 Speaker 1: for seven hundred miles of fence wall? Is there that 1610 01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:21,160 Speaker 1: much down there? What has been done with all that money? 1611 01:38:21,200 --> 01:38:24,040 Speaker 1: I'm not understanding why this is even still necessary at 1612 01:38:24,120 --> 01:38:27,120 Speaker 1: this point. And if there isn't that much, it has 1613 01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:29,240 Speaker 1: already been approved the past, or why can't he just 1614 01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:33,519 Speaker 1: finish what was started but not finished had to be funded, right? 1615 01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:38,120 Speaker 1: I just am not understanding. Shields high, Lisa. Well, Lisa, 1616 01:38:38,960 --> 01:38:41,080 Speaker 1: you raised some very good points here, and I don't 1617 01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:43,240 Speaker 1: know if it was me or Seawan. It was probably 1618 01:38:43,320 --> 01:38:46,320 Speaker 1: both of us that talked about what's going on with 1619 01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:50,600 Speaker 1: funding for barriers for offense. Isn't it amazing how we 1620 01:38:50,760 --> 01:38:52,880 Speaker 1: have been told so many times in recent weeks the 1621 01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:56,760 Speaker 1: offense is crazy, barriers are insane. Man Like, why do 1622 01:38:56,800 --> 01:39:00,360 Speaker 1: you even want a barrier fence? Man Like, No, it's 1623 01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:03,360 Speaker 1: just nuts. And then when you do a little bit 1624 01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:06,120 Speaker 1: of research about the border, it turns out that there 1625 01:39:06,280 --> 01:39:09,040 Speaker 1: is already a lot of fencing, a couple of hundred 1626 01:39:09,080 --> 01:39:13,120 Speaker 1: miles of barriers and fencing already at the border. So 1627 01:39:13,320 --> 01:39:15,040 Speaker 1: we got a two thousand mile border, and we got 1628 01:39:15,040 --> 01:39:18,880 Speaker 1: a lot of border that needs additional protection. And this 1629 01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:21,320 Speaker 1: is what they don't want to do, and that's why 1630 01:39:21,400 --> 01:39:23,599 Speaker 1: they're acting like there's no money for this. Of course, 1631 01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:26,639 Speaker 1: there's plenty of money for this. Schumer wanted to give 1632 01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:29,840 Speaker 1: twenty five billion before. But remember the twenty five billion 1633 01:39:29,960 --> 01:39:33,439 Speaker 1: was tied to DACCA, and the whole purpose of DACA 1634 01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:37,559 Speaker 1: is to change the game forever such that Republicans will 1635 01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:44,439 Speaker 1: be a party that is in continuous opposition, never in power. 1636 01:39:44,800 --> 01:39:47,760 Speaker 1: That you'll have America become a one party state. It's 1637 01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:50,879 Speaker 1: pretty clear that's what will happen if you have continued 1638 01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:55,600 Speaker 1: waves of illegal immigration and also amnesty on top of it. 1639 01:39:56,520 --> 01:39:58,479 Speaker 1: People say, oh, why is that? Why do you assume 1640 01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:01,400 Speaker 1: that illegal immigrants are going to Democrat. I don't think 1641 01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:04,439 Speaker 1: they're going to vote Democrat forever necessarily. But if you 1642 01:40:04,479 --> 01:40:07,160 Speaker 1: come to this country and you don't speak English, and 1643 01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:11,360 Speaker 1: you don't have skills to compete in the information economy, 1644 01:40:11,400 --> 01:40:14,400 Speaker 1: you're going to be working for wages. Real wage growth 1645 01:40:14,479 --> 01:40:17,640 Speaker 1: since nineteen fifty I believe has been stagnant, I mean 1646 01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:20,720 Speaker 1: real wages, and it's only going to get worse, as 1647 01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:24,240 Speaker 1: I've been discussing with you, because of automation and what 1648 01:40:24,479 --> 01:40:27,280 Speaker 1: AI is going to do to jobs. And when you 1649 01:40:27,400 --> 01:40:31,879 Speaker 1: think about how retail and transportation, you put those two together, 1650 01:40:32,479 --> 01:40:37,840 Speaker 1: retail and transportation are a huge percentage of jobs that 1651 01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:42,599 Speaker 1: people making less than the household average household income are making, 1652 01:40:43,120 --> 01:40:45,720 Speaker 1: and you realize that those are jobs that might get 1653 01:40:45,760 --> 01:40:49,000 Speaker 1: automated out very easily, very soon. What do we do 1654 01:40:49,120 --> 01:40:51,600 Speaker 1: with all those people. I think ten percent of the 1655 01:40:51,680 --> 01:40:55,720 Speaker 1: workforce is in retail, which is pretty remarkable you think 1656 01:40:55,720 --> 01:41:00,519 Speaker 1: about it. Karen writes, Hey, Buck, don't pay attention to 1657 01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:04,080 Speaker 1: the journos and the clown, Prince and Princess, Chuck and Nancy, 1658 01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:08,439 Speaker 1: all us real people want borders and border security. I 1659 01:41:08,640 --> 01:41:11,559 Speaker 1: call Chuck and Nancy's office and called for a wall. Here, 1660 01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:15,320 Speaker 1: here are the numbers. Give him a call. Well, thank you, Karen. 1661 01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:16,960 Speaker 1: Maybe I will give them a call. Give him a 1662 01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:19,280 Speaker 1: piece in my mind while I'm at it, Like, Yo, 1663 01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:21,519 Speaker 1: what's going on? Chuck and Nancy? Why are you so 1664 01:41:21,720 --> 01:41:25,639 Speaker 1: posed to borders? Come on, we all know that borders 1665 01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:27,960 Speaker 1: are a good thing. Chuck and Nancy, let me tell you, 1666 01:41:28,120 --> 01:41:29,880 Speaker 1: if all of a sudden you thought that you could 1667 01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:36,679 Speaker 1: just wander onto Nancy's estate in Marin County, just outside 1668 01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:38,479 Speaker 1: of San Francisco, I'm sure all of a sudden she 1669 01:41:38,560 --> 01:41:42,640 Speaker 1: would be very interested in fences and borders and boundaries. 1670 01:41:43,400 --> 01:41:48,200 Speaker 1: But hypocrisy is a central characteristic and a central theme 1671 01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:52,000 Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party. So that's what we have to 1672 01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:56,800 Speaker 1: deal with. Unfortunately, Kelvin rights Buck get a load of 1673 01:41:56,840 --> 01:42:01,280 Speaker 1: the supposed non unified mass media we speak of cramming 1674 01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:03,760 Speaker 1: this Russia collusion crap down our throats as if it 1675 01:42:03,920 --> 01:42:06,680 Speaker 1: was real or even new. I'm guessing they found out 1676 01:42:06,760 --> 01:42:09,240 Speaker 1: how popular wall still is and needed to discredit the 1677 01:42:09,320 --> 01:42:15,080 Speaker 1: President talk about beating a dead horse. Shields high. Calvin, Look, 1678 01:42:15,120 --> 01:42:18,960 Speaker 1: I agree. I think that this latest story that broke 1679 01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:22,640 Speaker 1: has almost nothing new in it. I'm very skeptical of 1680 01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:26,080 Speaker 1: this story as something that people should think adds to 1681 01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:27,800 Speaker 1: the narrative at all. I mean, really, what you have 1682 01:42:28,040 --> 01:42:32,920 Speaker 1: is the FBI trying to excuse FBI prior conduct, and 1683 01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:37,200 Speaker 1: it's an organization that is in meshin and scandal. You know, 1684 01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:41,000 Speaker 1: I was in the CIA when black sites broke in 1685 01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:43,880 Speaker 1: the news. I was in the CIA when waterboarding was 1686 01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:46,400 Speaker 1: going on. Let me tell you something. Nobody was walking 1687 01:42:46,400 --> 01:42:49,519 Speaker 1: around saying, well, this CIA, so everything they do is 1688 01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:51,600 Speaker 1: fine and we don't have to even think about it, 1689 01:42:51,720 --> 01:42:56,519 Speaker 1: and they're just perfect. Meanwhile, with the FBI, libs pretend 1690 01:42:56,640 --> 01:43:01,120 Speaker 1: like all of these powers they have fish and counterintelligence 1691 01:43:01,200 --> 01:43:05,400 Speaker 1: investigation authority and all this stuff, All of that is 1692 01:43:05,640 --> 01:43:09,639 Speaker 1: just fine and dandy. There's no problem at all. There's 1693 01:43:09,720 --> 01:43:15,440 Speaker 1: no real concern that the FBI perhaps needed greater oversight, 1694 01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:18,320 Speaker 1: that the FBI may have stepped outside of its balance. 1695 01:43:18,400 --> 01:43:20,439 Speaker 1: You know, nobody wants to hear anything about that, do they. 1696 01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:23,800 Speaker 1: That's just because libs are full of it. They have 1697 01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:26,960 Speaker 1: no actual principles when it comes to law enforcement or intelligence. 1698 01:43:27,240 --> 01:43:32,320 Speaker 1: They just want what they want when they want it. Jay, Right, 1699 01:43:32,600 --> 01:43:37,080 Speaker 1: Hey Buck. About your celiac issue, I read that distilled liquors, 1700 01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:40,919 Speaker 1: even ones derived from a grand containing gluten, are considered 1701 01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:44,360 Speaker 1: to be gluten free because the dissillation process supposedly removes 1702 01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:47,519 Speaker 1: the gluten proteins, although they still aren't allowed to label 1703 01:43:47,600 --> 01:43:50,439 Speaker 1: them as gluten free now. I've also read that a 1704 01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:54,360 Speaker 1: small number of gluten sensitive people still react to it nonetheless, 1705 01:43:54,640 --> 01:43:57,479 Speaker 1: while most do not, so the jury is out on 1706 01:43:57,560 --> 01:44:00,720 Speaker 1: the issue of safe consumption for ciliac stuff. First, my 1707 01:44:00,920 --> 01:44:03,879 Speaker 1: question is whether you've ever tried whiskey after your celiac 1708 01:44:03,960 --> 01:44:06,760 Speaker 1: diagnosis to know if you personally react to them. It 1709 01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:09,200 Speaker 1: was just curious. I'm a Bourbon and Scotch fan have 1710 01:44:09,280 --> 01:44:11,600 Speaker 1: been to several distilleries. I'd love to send you some 1711 01:44:11,720 --> 01:44:14,680 Speaker 1: recommendations for good whiskey if you could partake in enjoying them. 1712 01:44:14,720 --> 01:44:19,040 Speaker 1: Hence the question, have a great day, Shields High Well, Jay, 1713 01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:21,599 Speaker 1: the answer to what you've written out here, the answer 1714 01:44:21,640 --> 01:44:25,320 Speaker 1: to your question is yes, Yes, there are people that 1715 01:44:25,479 --> 01:44:31,680 Speaker 1: think that it is safe to drink grain based alcohol 1716 01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:34,680 Speaker 1: even if you have celia. To these and yes there 1717 01:44:34,720 --> 01:44:36,920 Speaker 1: are people say that they still react and they still 1718 01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:40,640 Speaker 1: are sensitive enough that it's not okay for them. I 1719 01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:43,639 Speaker 1: do drink a bit of hard liquor from time to time, 1720 01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:46,160 Speaker 1: but just because I don't need to tempt fate, I 1721 01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:51,600 Speaker 1: tend to focus on tequila and mescal and only and 1722 01:44:51,760 --> 01:44:55,040 Speaker 1: potato based vodkas. I will have a really good scotch 1723 01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:58,120 Speaker 1: or really good whiskey, but tequila and mescal are what's 1724 01:44:58,200 --> 01:45:01,040 Speaker 1: really in my wheelhouse. I don't mess around too much 1725 01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:04,000 Speaker 1: with other alcohol O n wine, and I obviously cannot 1726 01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:09,000 Speaker 1: drink beer. As a ciliac sufferer, you absolutely cannot have beer. 1727 01:45:09,360 --> 01:45:12,320 Speaker 1: I think I mentioned this, but they believe that celiac 1728 01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:15,840 Speaker 1: disease may have been a mutation, a genetic mutation for 1729 01:45:16,080 --> 01:45:20,120 Speaker 1: Western Europeans, intended to help them fight certain kinds of 1730 01:45:20,240 --> 01:45:24,400 Speaker 1: bacterial infection, and the body just made some mistakes in 1731 01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:32,439 Speaker 1: that process. Let me see here aries rights, oh, aries, 1732 01:45:32,520 --> 01:45:34,240 Speaker 1: going long here. Buck just want to say, if you 1733 01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:37,040 Speaker 1: were write about anything, and seldom your as it concerns music, 1734 01:45:37,400 --> 01:45:40,599 Speaker 1: but Aerosmith is the best American rock band in history. 1735 01:45:40,760 --> 01:45:44,400 Speaker 1: See aries, And honestly, aren't they all American rock bands? 1736 01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:46,920 Speaker 1: They get houses in New York, in LA and made 1737 01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:49,519 Speaker 1: most of their money here. That's a that's a fair 1738 01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:53,519 Speaker 1: that's a fair point. That's a fair point. Aries they do. 1739 01:45:54,160 --> 01:45:55,760 Speaker 1: You know? This is like I always thought it was 1740 01:45:55,800 --> 01:46:00,400 Speaker 1: strange that the very lovely and very tall Maria Sharapova 1741 01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:05,520 Speaker 1: chose to always play for the Russian Federation in international 1742 01:46:05,600 --> 01:46:08,599 Speaker 1: tennis matches, even though she had been living in America 1743 01:46:08,640 --> 01:46:10,840 Speaker 1: and trained in America since I think she was five. 1744 01:46:12,120 --> 01:46:14,840 Speaker 1: To me, that feels pretty American. But you know, people, 1745 01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:20,080 Speaker 1: I guess they choose what they want to choose. Daniel writes, 1746 01:46:20,680 --> 01:46:22,880 Speaker 1: you definitely need to step up your music analysis game. 1747 01:46:22,920 --> 01:46:26,280 Speaker 1: If you don't know or appreciate Tool, well, Daniel, I 1748 01:46:26,320 --> 01:46:28,559 Speaker 1: guess I'm I sound like kind of a tool. Then 1749 01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:30,640 Speaker 1: I didn't know this was a band that people really like. 1750 01:46:31,400 --> 01:46:34,000 Speaker 1: I don't know everything. I gotta make some I gotta 1751 01:46:34,160 --> 01:46:37,080 Speaker 1: make some time for some Tool. I guess I'll figure 1752 01:46:37,160 --> 01:46:40,640 Speaker 1: that out. Virginia said, you said you're going to the 1753 01:46:40,680 --> 01:46:43,080 Speaker 1: walls on the border next week, why don't you take 1754 01:46:43,160 --> 01:46:45,800 Speaker 1: Jim Acosta with you and show him what he's missing 1755 01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:49,080 Speaker 1: in his reporting. Well, I would be happy to take 1756 01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:51,880 Speaker 1: mister Acosta along, but I don't think that he'd want 1757 01:46:51,920 --> 01:46:55,360 Speaker 1: to go for a ride along with me, especially because 1758 01:46:55,960 --> 01:46:59,160 Speaker 1: then how could he get away with all the shenanigans. 1759 01:46:59,640 --> 01:47:02,000 Speaker 1: Was it Instagram or Twitter or however he's putting that 1760 01:47:02,040 --> 01:47:04,400 Speaker 1: stuff out there of the video. Yeah, here I am 1761 01:47:04,479 --> 01:47:06,720 Speaker 1: at the wall and things are really quiet here. I 1762 01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:10,400 Speaker 1: guess it's not quite the healthscape here of the border 1763 01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:13,560 Speaker 1: that the Republicans have been saying. Uh, it's almost like 1764 01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:17,800 Speaker 1: this big wall thing kind of works. Oh that guy, 1765 01:47:18,160 --> 01:47:23,360 Speaker 1: I swear, Harry. I'm a podcast listener, buck that has 1766 01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:25,680 Speaker 1: fallen behind. So you may have already covered this. If 1767 01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:28,640 Speaker 1: the USA had national healthcare and govern employees use the 1768 01:47:28,680 --> 01:47:31,439 Speaker 1: same program, RBG would have patted on the head and 1769 01:47:31,560 --> 01:47:33,840 Speaker 1: been told she's too old for her cancer treatment. Be 1770 01:47:33,920 --> 01:47:37,920 Speaker 1: careful what you ask for, Lefty shields high, Harry. Well, 1771 01:47:37,960 --> 01:47:41,680 Speaker 1: you know, Harry, you know the truth is that these 1772 01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:46,360 Speaker 1: healthcare systems in countries like the UK, where people are 1773 01:47:46,400 --> 01:47:48,960 Speaker 1: all happy because I think, oh, it's socialist medicine and 1774 01:47:49,080 --> 01:47:51,840 Speaker 1: everything will be great. And the UK really is socialist medicine, 1775 01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:53,880 Speaker 1: I would know. I mean the UK, you have the 1776 01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:57,160 Speaker 1: National Health Service that is truly in control of hospitals, 1777 01:47:57,240 --> 01:48:03,000 Speaker 1: truly in control of the delivery system and the employees 1778 01:48:03,240 --> 01:48:06,479 Speaker 1: and all aspects of healthcare. And there is something of 1779 01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:09,519 Speaker 1: a private market there, but it's it's small, as I 1780 01:48:09,680 --> 01:48:12,559 Speaker 1: understand it. People do have some private insurance, and you look, 1781 01:48:12,680 --> 01:48:14,680 Speaker 1: you can always find a medical professional that if you're 1782 01:48:14,720 --> 01:48:16,479 Speaker 1: willing to if you're willing to write a check, they'll 1783 01:48:16,520 --> 01:48:20,120 Speaker 1: treat you. But cancer survival rates in America are better 1784 01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:22,120 Speaker 1: than they are in Europe. And I think that is 1785 01:48:22,160 --> 01:48:25,920 Speaker 1: because cancer is incredibly expensive to treat most of the time, 1786 01:48:26,560 --> 01:48:29,880 Speaker 1: and we don't have a rationing system in this country 1787 01:48:29,960 --> 01:48:32,280 Speaker 1: for it the way that they do in places like 1788 01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:35,960 Speaker 1: the UK. You know, I can tell you that if 1789 01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:38,360 Speaker 1: I had an ear infection, yeah, I'd rather be in 1790 01:48:38,439 --> 01:48:41,240 Speaker 1: Sweden or in the UK, and in America these days, 1791 01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:44,520 Speaker 1: if I had a life threatening illness, I take America 1792 01:48:45,200 --> 01:48:47,360 Speaker 1: every time. Ninety nine times out of one hundred. You 1793 01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:50,759 Speaker 1: want to be in the US of A. Let's see, 1794 01:48:51,360 --> 01:48:55,680 Speaker 1: we have time for one more, James, right, Buck, Your 1795 01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:59,040 Speaker 1: position on littering is exactly on the nose. I was 1796 01:48:59,040 --> 01:49:00,840 Speaker 1: out in the neighborhood I live here in Puerto Rico 1797 01:49:00,880 --> 01:49:03,000 Speaker 1: and New Year's Eve, and I watched this guy I 1798 01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:05,560 Speaker 1: just met open and pack of cigarettes, tear off the 1799 01:49:05,600 --> 01:49:07,920 Speaker 1: cellophane and foil and throw it directly on the ground. 1800 01:49:08,439 --> 01:49:11,519 Speaker 1: There was a trash barrel literally ten feet away. Shortly 1801 01:49:11,600 --> 01:49:13,760 Speaker 1: after that, I watched another person throw an empty beer 1802 01:49:13,840 --> 01:49:15,400 Speaker 1: can on the ground. Now, I'm not going to say 1803 01:49:15,439 --> 01:49:17,040 Speaker 1: that ruined my night or anything, but it bothered me 1804 01:49:17,120 --> 01:49:20,240 Speaker 1: more than I thought it would. The fact that it 1805 01:49:20,280 --> 01:49:22,240 Speaker 1: happened in Puerto Rico is not relevant. I'm just rubbing 1806 01:49:22,240 --> 01:49:23,840 Speaker 1: it into little since I'm a native New England or 1807 01:49:23,840 --> 01:49:26,519 Speaker 1: I know it's cold up there. Anyway, have fun the border, 1808 01:49:26,600 --> 01:49:30,400 Speaker 1: be safe, James, James, Littering is very much. I've said 1809 01:49:30,439 --> 01:49:34,320 Speaker 1: this before, but littering is very much. Or rather, the 1810 01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:36,600 Speaker 1: trash on the streets of a place tells you a 1811 01:49:36,720 --> 01:49:39,040 Speaker 1: lot about how wealthy it is, how developed it is 1812 01:49:39,560 --> 01:49:43,439 Speaker 1: the state of its civil society. Advanced, wealthy countries do 1813 01:49:43,560 --> 01:49:47,400 Speaker 1: not have filthy streets. They do not have the same 1814 01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:50,920 Speaker 1: kind of trash on the streets that countries that are 1815 01:49:50,960 --> 01:49:53,599 Speaker 1: still either developing or third world I mean third world countries. 1816 01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:56,120 Speaker 1: One way you know you're in them is there's trash everywhere. 1817 01:49:56,360 --> 01:49:59,679 Speaker 1: There's just trash everywhere you walk around. There's just garbage, 1818 01:49:59,720 --> 01:50:01,840 Speaker 1: like people have ripped open their garbage bags and just 1819 01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:04,680 Speaker 1: let it all out on the street everywhere. That's how 1820 01:50:04,720 --> 01:50:06,840 Speaker 1: you know you're in the third world. All right, team, 1821 01:50:06,880 --> 01:50:09,519 Speaker 1: that's gonna be it four today. I'm gonna be out 1822 01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:12,240 Speaker 1: at the border tomorrow. We should be good luck and 1823 01:50:12,800 --> 01:50:15,639 Speaker 1: safe passage my friends talking to you from San Diego. 1824 01:50:15,800 --> 01:50:21,200 Speaker 1: Woo speak to you then, Shields High. You're probably familiar 1825 01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:23,479 Speaker 1: with AARP. You are someone you know might already be 1826 01:50:23,479 --> 01:50:26,519 Speaker 1: a member. But did you know that the AARP lobbies 1827 01:50:26,600 --> 01:50:30,200 Speaker 1: for lots of progressive, left wing causes. You know, they 1828 01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:33,400 Speaker 1: stood against tax cuts from middle class Americans and small 1829 01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:36,559 Speaker 1: business owners, and they're all about Obamacare. I got an idea. 1830 01:50:36,880 --> 01:50:40,000 Speaker 1: How about you get all of the benefits of AARP 1831 01:50:40,160 --> 01:50:43,760 Speaker 1: without the progressive politics. I recommend AMAC. If that's what 1832 01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:46,920 Speaker 1: you want. Why AMAC, Well, you see, AMAC gets your 1833 01:50:46,960 --> 01:50:50,400 Speaker 1: discounts on car insurance, hotels, roadside assistants, dental plans, even 1834 01:50:50,479 --> 01:50:52,880 Speaker 1: sell service options. So it gets you all the upside 1835 01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:58,919 Speaker 1: of AARP. But it also is about conservative ideology and policy. 1836 01:50:59,320 --> 01:51:04,439 Speaker 1: Join AMAC. It's the conservative alternative to aa ARP. Stand 1837 01:51:04,479 --> 01:51:06,719 Speaker 1: with AMAC as they fight the good fight by becoming 1838 01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:09,320 Speaker 1: a member today, the benefits are great.
