Here on the buck Sexton Show, 4 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: we'll talk about what that means for the Democrats. How 5 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: are they going to spend their time now that that 6 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: fantasy collapses around them? And also, speaking of fantasies, the 7 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: jus small at Hoax is crumbling around him. He is 8 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: now officially a suspect. We've got updates on that and 9 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: much more coming up. Buck Sexton Remission, decoding the news 10 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: and disseminating information with actionable intelligence, No mistake, American, You're 11 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: a great American. Again, This is the bucks Sexton Show. 12 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: At Puma CIA analysts, I can speak to three hours 13 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: without a phone call. Try doing that sometimes. No, Andrew 14 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: McCabe is not a psychiatrist. He's not an internal physician. 15 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: Either is Rod Rosenstein. They knew the constitution constitutional limits 16 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: of the twenty fifth Amendment. It's an incapacitated president, Michae 17 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: Woodrow Wilson maybe the last week of FDR. It's not 18 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: a president you're having to disagree with. So what they're 19 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: basically discussing is how to overthrow or aboard a presidency 20 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: that was duly elected. Well, I think Andrew Bickabe has 21 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: made a fool out of himself over the last couple 22 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: of days. And he really looks to me like sort 23 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: of a poor man's j Edgar Hoover's a. I think 24 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: he's a disaster. And what he was trying to do 25 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: was terrible and he was caught. Anybody reading the IG 26 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: report would say, how could a man like this be 27 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: involved with the FBI. Welcome to the Buck Saxon Show. 28 00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: Everybody Big news today. The Muller pro according to CNN, 29 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: is supposed to end sometime next week or the report, 30 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: I should say that is the conclusion of the probe. 31 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: That signals the conclusion. We'll be handed into the newly 32 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: installed Attorney General next week bar the a G. And 33 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: so this aligns with what I've been telling you here 34 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: for a while. I told you that I had heard 35 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: that the probe was going to end within a matter 36 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: of a few weeks, and now here we are. So 37 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: I do believe this report, even though it comes from 38 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: fake news CNN, that this is going to be wrapping up. 39 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: It also comes at a time when we have more 40 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: certainty than ever before we should have more certainty than 41 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: ever before that the actions taken at the top of 42 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice and the FBI by pro Hillary 43 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: anti Trump partisans were appalling, absolutely appalling, that disgrace the 44 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: offices of the men and women who who held them, 45 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: that undermine the very institutions that they at least have 46 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: told us they sought to protect. There can be no 47 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: justification for the behavior that we already know about, and 48 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you that there's a lot we 49 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: still don't know and need to know about just what 50 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: happened here. You have people who have come forward to 51 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 1: offer freely that they were considering what was effectively a 52 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: coup against the president of the United States based on 53 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: what what was the thing that the president did that 54 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: was so terrible that McCabe and some of the others, 55 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein offering to wear a wire? What was a 56 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: thing that was done that was so terrible that a 57 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: reasonable person, a government employee in good faith would have 58 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:03,119 Speaker 1: even considered this is There isn't one. They have got 59 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: nothing firing James Comy. That is how self aware. I mean, 60 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: the federal bureaucracy is like Skynet. Now they're willing to 61 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: provoke a nuclear war because they think they're more important 62 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: than we are. That's how self important they are. They 63 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: want a coup to happen because their dear leader at 64 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: the Bureau got fired. My friends, we are going to 65 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: enter a very frustrating period here. Soon it will be validation. 66 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: To be sure, you and I will be able to 67 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: go about our day very soon knowing that even with 68 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: the bare knuckle tactics of the Muller Probe full of 69 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: pro Hillary partisans looking to settle scores people who are 70 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: obviously anti Trump in every way, they weren't able to 71 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: make the case against Trump. There was no collusion. You've 72 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: known it all along. I've known it all along, and 73 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: now there will at least be further validation of that 74 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: that an oppositional force, with almost unlimited resources and whatever 75 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: reach within the law it decides to have the Special 76 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: Counsel was unable to do it. And you are going 77 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: to see as soon as this is announced, and it 78 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: should be next week, you will see the most dishonest 79 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: intellectual gymnastics, the most brazen garbage pedaled on TV you've 80 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: ever seen in your whole life. It's going to be 81 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: a dumpster fire. Of lies and misdirection and nothing to 82 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: see here. Let's just move on, folks. They're not even 83 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: going to pause and say, you know, maybe the endless 84 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: loop of stories about Russia collusion and all the fake 85 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: news stories we ran that we had to then retract 86 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: or correct, and maybe we've just been part of a 87 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: of a hysteria of creating a mass delusion that has 88 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: been really damaging to the functions of government. Maybe we've 89 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: been wrong all this time. The Mueller Special Counsel, which 90 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: you know people celebrities, media figures on the left, and 91 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: the so called objective journalists, they've been acting like Muller 92 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: was some kind of saint who was going to deliver 93 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: this country from the pits of hell that Donald Trump 94 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: had brought us to. They're not going to change any 95 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: of that opinion. Even when Mueller says, yeah, it turns 96 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: out there was no collusion, turns out that didn't happen. 97 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: We can't prove it. There's nothing there. Collusion from the 98 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: beginning was a silly idea that was cooked up by 99 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of hysterical pro Hillary anti Trump partisans. There 100 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: was never a there there, and we are going to 101 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: get in my opinion. We haven't seen the report yet. Yes, 102 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: there's a there is a possibility of that eleventh hour 103 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: bombshell or something. I don't know, but I kind of know. 104 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: Once this report is given the Attorney General, and whether 105 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: he makes it public or not, there's no way if 106 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: they had something on the president, they'd be able to 107 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: keep that quiet. So we're gonna know, and even when 108 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: it's out there, there will not be any adjustment whatsoever 109 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: in the hysterics, in the nonsense from CNN and MSNBC, 110 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: the Washington Post in New York Times. They still are 111 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: going to claim that what's needed is further investigation of 112 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: the president. That all we've really found out is how 113 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 1: how much more investigating there has to be, because these 114 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: people are willing to pollute the law down to its 115 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: very core. As long as they can weaponize the law 116 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: enforcement bureaucracy and the congressional oversight processes against this president. 117 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: That's the plan. You're going to see an immediate switch, 118 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: as though nothing has happened, as though there's no necessary 119 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: evaluation that should take place of how crazy this whole 120 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: stupid Trump Russia collusion narrative has been all along, and 121 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: what a disgrace. The journalists that have been pushing it 122 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: have been They're not going to stop and think about 123 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: any of that. They're immediately going to transition into, well, 124 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: what does the southern District of New York have on him? 125 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: What can we get on his tax returns, What can 126 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: we do to investigate his children? Maybe some of his 127 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: kids drank underage in high school or college or you know, 128 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: that's where this is going to go. These people have 129 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: no shame, They have no principles, they have no ethics. 130 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: They are pushing a narrative that goes to the very 131 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: core not just of what they believe about this country, 132 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,239 Speaker 1: that there is an elite, that there is an establishment, 133 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: that the Democrat Left is the only legitimate power structure 134 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: that exists here, but that also goes to the core 135 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: of what they the peddlers of this false anti Trump narrative, 136 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: believe about themselves, which is that they have to have 137 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: been right all along. They must be right all along. 138 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: Even if they can't prove there was any Russia collusion, 139 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: they know it's there. Why because they believe it. Because ultimately, 140 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: Russia collusion for the hysterical left has turned into a 141 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: replacement religious belief they will never abandon it. So even 142 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: though the Special Counsel is going to be ending soon, 143 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: my friends, unfortunately, the Democrats hysteria is just going to 144 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: find other outlets now and will continue. We got just 145 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: small at updates. We've got a lot on the Democrat 146 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: candidates that are out there. Now, we're going to talk 147 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: about Bernie Sanders so much show coming up. Team stay 148 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: with me. The collections are down to about thirty percent 149 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: of the target. That is about a two point three 150 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: billion dollar drop in revenues. Two point three billion dollars. 151 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: As a drop at this point in revenues is as 152 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: serious as a heart attack. Assault encourages high income New 153 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: Yorkers to move to other states. And what you have 154 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: to remember is even if a small number of high 155 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: income taxpayers leave, it has a dramatic effect on this 156 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: tax space. Tax the rich, Tax the rich, tax the rich. 157 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: We did now, God forbid the rich leave. Nobody on 158 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: the stands like Governor Cuomo that if you tax and 159 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: tax and tax the rich, and tax and tax some more, 160 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: eventually they get tired of paying the taxes and the 161 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 1: tax You get the idea, Oh what a shock, New 162 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: York Higher taxes. People want to leave, people who can leave, 163 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: people who it is easy for them to leave. The 164 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: wealthy are particularly mobile, especially when it comes to establishing 165 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: state residents in one place or another. The wealthy are 166 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: the ones that are going to be the first to leave. 167 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: By the way, the French dealt with this recently when 168 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: they instituted a specific millionaires tax, But they haven't learned 169 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: their lesson really either. They had millionaires in France who 170 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: are leaving and going to other countries in the EU. Well, 171 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: there you go, trying to find other places, trying to 172 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: find tax havens. Taxation is unfortunately the primary, the primary 173 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: effort of the Democrats going into twenty twenty, you're going 174 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: to hear a lot about this. Yeah, they're going to 175 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: address these different things up with oh, it's about climate change, 176 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: or it's about healthcare, or but really behind all of this, 177 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: there is going to be increases in taxation. The state 178 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: wants more of your stuff, whether at the federal level 179 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: or at the state level. If the Democrats are in charge, 180 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: that's what's going to happen, and they don't learn the 181 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: lessons of history. I still see people going on TV 182 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: who are saying, well, under the Eisenhower administration, the tax 183 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: rate was ninety percent. They keep saying this, and the 184 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: truth is that there was nobody in the Eisenhower administration 185 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: that was paying ninety percent income taxes or during the 186 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: administration not anymore. But there's nobody in that era that 187 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: they can point to whoever even had to pay that rate. 188 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: And with the lowering of rates thanks to Reagan, you 189 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: had an explosion in growth in the economy and a 190 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: booming stock market, and all of a sudden things had 191 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: been for many, many years before that. But not only 192 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: the Democrats not students of history. Many of them are 193 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: in fact rewriters of history. They go back and they 194 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: change things around because at some point they've had too 195 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: many failures with their plans for governance for this to 196 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: seem like an accident. At some point it starts to 197 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: feel like maybe they're doing this on purpose, maybe to 198 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: borrow from Obama. Here, it's not about what's best for 199 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: the economy. It's about what's fair in the eyes of 200 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 1: people that are obsessed with fairness. I saw a very 201 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: interesting gropic today that I'd never seen before making the 202 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: rounds on social media, and it was a social justice 203 00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: approach to the difference between equality and equity, and it 204 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: was three people. I've never seen this before, this cartoon. 205 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: Three people that were looking at look like a baseball game, 206 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: and they're all of different heights. And equality, they say, 207 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: is the people of different heights looking at the game. 208 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: Some of them can see it, some of them can't. 209 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: Equity is putting people on different sized platforms so they 210 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: can all see the game. And what I think is 211 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: so interesting about this is that that it really shows 212 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: you what the democrat position is here, which is that 213 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: individuals should not be held responsible for their own decisions. 214 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: Individuals should not be rewarded or punished by the market 215 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: or by the state based upon what they choose to do. 216 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: We should seek for a society where everybody is the same, 217 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: not that we are treated the same way by the law, 218 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: not that we have the same rights, where we are 219 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: the same This is not just a fool's errand it 220 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: is dangerous. There will always be inequality in every society. 221 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: There will always be people that make better decisions than others, 222 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: that are luckier than others, don't. Our luck is a 223 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: huge component of economic success. We have a lot of 224 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: trust fund brats running around this country. Don't think I'm 225 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: not aware of it. Some of them are rather powerful. 226 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: You have a lot of that going on. It's not fair, 227 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: but it's never going to be fair. And the purpose 228 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: of the state should not be the purpose of our 229 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: government should not be trying to create a utopia here 230 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: on earth. It should be what is the best form 231 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: of governance based on the realities of human beings that 232 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: we have seen play out again and again throughout history. 233 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: How do we work within the constraints of people are imperfect, 234 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: people are self interested? What do we do with that? 235 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: How do we motivate people to do good things and 236 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: the best things that they can do on an individual 237 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: basis and not just try to create this I mean again, 238 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: is this radical equity you could call it? Where everyone 239 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: is the same? You're you're gonna see more of this, 240 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: I think emerging. Because the economy doing as well as 241 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: as it has been under Trump and the country doing 242 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: as well as it has. The only place for the 243 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: Democrats to go is we will give you more stuff 244 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: if you let us take more stuff from other people. 245 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: That's going to be a primary message. It's going to 246 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: be very very important for Bernie Sanders, for Kamala Harris 247 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: for a booker for Warren go down the line. It's 248 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: also why Schultz talking about possibly running as a third 249 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: party candidate was so horrifically offensive to the Democrat establishment, 250 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: because he can't be out there saying you can't just 251 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: give free stuff to everybody. You can't just tax people 252 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: into oblivion and think that that's not going to have 253 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: negative consequences in many cases for the very people that 254 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: you think you're trying to help. There's some stories pop 255 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: it up now about again based going back to New York. 256 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: New York has problems. Yes, we know, Governor Cuomo, there 257 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: are fast food workers now that New York City has 258 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: a fifteen dollar minimum wage for fast food work workers, 259 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: they're fast food workers that also want protections from what 260 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: they say are unfair firings. Well, let me just point 261 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: out that the desire to fire fast food workers when 262 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: they are all costing fifteen dollars an hour is elevated 263 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: from what it would have been before because now they 264 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: are more expensive employees, and more expensive employees who don't 265 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: perform to the expectations of the employer. You're even more 266 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: incentivized to get rid of them or to cut back 267 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: on their hour. So now they're looking to the state 268 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: to intrude into the market and say that unless there's 269 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: a and they're saying unless there's a good reason, it's 270 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: going to be unless there's there's not going to be 271 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: any reason that's acceptable short of like committing a felony 272 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: on the job. They're going to try to make it 273 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: so you can't fire fast food. Mark it really hard 274 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: and cumbersome and arduous to fire somebody in the fast 275 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: food industry because they're concerned now that they are going 276 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: to be layoffs, so they set the minimum wage at 277 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: fifteen dollars, and then they want to combat the layoffs 278 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: with government policy. They don't understand. This is a balloon. 279 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: You can keep squeezing it, but the air goes somewhere. 280 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: All Right, we have a whole lot. I gotta update 281 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: you on the the Jussi Smallette situation. It's getting worse 282 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: for Jesse. As we here in the Freedom Hunt knew 283 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: that it would. This guy, this guy is in trouble. 284 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: But the situation for Smallette is getting worse. And we 285 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: will also get into the latest on the craziness, the 286 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: absolute craziness coming from from Democrats these days on TV 287 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: about all about all things Trump. They've really just they 288 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 1: have jumped the shark several times over. We have that 289 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: and much more coming up. I don't know what he 290 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: was thinking. I don't know if he has a mental 291 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 1: problem or whatever. But it's not looking good for him, 292 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And and and it's it was. 293 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: It took place in Chicago, dirty below and crime stops 294 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: in his thirty below? Okay, and why would some Republicans 295 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: that are Maga fans be watching Empire? He owes everybody 296 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: an apology, He owes the black community apology, heals the 297 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: gay community apology, because because it looks like he's lying. 298 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: I mean, and you know, when it first happened, I 299 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: was like, Yo, we need to go get these dudes man, 300 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: you know, because it's like you put a news over 301 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: your net. Because nowadays, with all this racial sensitivity, it's 302 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: like it's it's too sensitive. And so we reacted and 303 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: we were ready to, you know, fight for this guy. 304 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: And then his story started looking a little shady, you 305 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: know what I mean, they started looking a little shady. 306 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, I think that the guy's career is done. 307 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: I think so. I think so. That was a comedian 308 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: who was asked about this, and I think gave some 309 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: pretty godfree Comedian Godfrey talking about the Smallett situation. Do 310 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: we say smaller or Smolette. I'm not sure which it is. 311 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: I've never heard the name Jessie before either. Not that 312 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to make fun of names or point out 313 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: the peculiarity of names because Glasshouse and all that, But 314 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: Jesse Smollett is now officially, I can tell you a suspect. 315 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: Chicago Police spokesman Anthony gugliel Me said that the Empire 316 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: actor Jesse Smollett is officially a suspect and a criminal 317 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: investigation for filing a false report, which is a class 318 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: for felony. He is in a world to hurt my 319 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: friends because, trust me, given all the sensitivity and all 320 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: of the national attention on this story, it's fair to 321 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: say that Chicago police would not take this step unless 322 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: they were darn sure that they had something on this guy. 323 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: And I mean, look, it's not like this is a 324 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: hard thing to figure out either, right, I mean, this 325 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: is not a difficult It's not like we have to 326 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: sit here and think for a long time. To come 327 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: up with what probably went down here. I think we 328 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: already know. I think that what we have been told 329 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: largely is what has happened here, which is that this 330 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 1: guy most likely hired these two individuals and engaged in 331 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: this engaged in this hoax, another race hoax, racial incident, hoax, 332 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: of hate crime, fakery. It's very disturbing, and I do 333 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: think you should be charged. I'm seeing some people in 334 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: conservative land say, well, I feel bad for him and 335 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: maybe his mental health issues. Let me share a different 336 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 1: perspective here by John Cass, a Chicago Tribune reporter, and 337 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: I would note that local Chicago media has done this 338 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: one right. They have covered this case. They have shown that, 339 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: you know, local media because I think they realize they 340 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: can't compete with feeding the audience the narrative whatever they 341 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: want to hear. You know, they're never going to be 342 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: able to do that the same way that the national 343 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: outlets do. So. Better to be accurate, right, Better to 344 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: be telling the people in your community what's true and 345 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: what facts you can present them. But John Cass writes 346 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: the following the Chicago Tribune quote, something important has been 347 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: lost in the embarrassing saga of Jesse Smollett, the tuna 348 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: fish sandwich loving actor and anti Trump activist, and those 349 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: muscular Nigerian brothers. And I suppose it's easy to lose 350 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: what's important with all the panic and intersectional hatred and 351 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: liberal identity politics gone bad in this Smallet story, what's 352 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: been lost is this. I'm told that two dozen detectives 353 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: were assigned to the Smallet case. Can Chicago afford that 354 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: with all the unsolved murders and shootings in this town? No, 355 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: there were some eighteen people killed in Chicago after Smolette 356 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: began telling his story in late January, that story in 357 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: which he cast himself as the hero about having to 358 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: fight off pro Trump racists. Now it turns out that 359 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: the pro Trump racist who he says put a noose 360 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: around his neck may actually be his friends, two muscular 361 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: Nigerian brothers who may or may not have been paid 362 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: in this deal. Either way, his story is he fought 363 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: them off even though he had a cell phone in 364 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: one hand and a tuna sandwich in the other. Small 365 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: It must be a certified badass because his sandwich survived, 366 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: But two dozen detectives assigned to check out his story 367 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 1: that he was a victim of a politically inspired pro 368 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: Trump hate crime, a story unraveling by the second. Even 369 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: in Chicago, a city known for its unending violence and 370 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: political corruption, assigning two dozen detectives seems a bit overdone. 371 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: But Chicago has an abysmal homicide clearance rate of about 372 00:23:55,040 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: seventeen percent. Chicago's detective ranks have been decimated by atrician 373 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: and shortsighted management. There aren't enough detectives. Even so, two 374 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: dozen detectives for Smallet just doesn't seem right. Make no mistake. 375 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: He's not blaming the detectives here or the Chicago Police Department. 376 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: They work for a politician. His name is Ram Emmanuel. 377 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: When Smallett told his amazing story about being a black 378 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: guy attacked by racist Trump supporters and one of the 379 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: coldest knights of the year, the media was all over. 380 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: The national politicians were Oliver John John Cass here and 381 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: end quote there. John Cass of the Chicago Tribune is 382 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 1: making a critical, critical point, and that is that this 383 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: this case got more attention because of the politics involved, 384 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: because of the nonsense narrative about horrific Trump supporters and 385 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: they're evil hate crimes that are such a scourge and 386 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: such a national panic, and all the all the triggered 387 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: libs are all worried about this all the time. More 388 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 1: police resources were devoted to this obvious hoax of a story, 389 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: then to actual murders, actual murders, including the murder recently 390 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 1: of a one year old boy who was shot in 391 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: the head. One year old boy a street gang was 392 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: trying to shoot his mother and they shot the one 393 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: year old boy. His name was Dejeon Irving. There weren't 394 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: two dozen detectives a shine assigned to a Dejeun Irving's case. 395 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: And we want to tell me why this guy small 396 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: at should be given a pass here, Why we shouldn't 397 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: pay attention to the resources, to the wasted effort in 398 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: time when there are real problems. I mean, Chicago has 399 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: a gun violence epidemic. And now we find out that 400 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: Smallett is a suspect in this. If they can prove this, 401 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: and I believe they will be able to, they should 402 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: punish him to the fullest extent of the law. My 403 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: expectation here I don't know yet. My expectation is that 404 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: Jesse Smollett is going to have to take a plea 405 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: bargain because otherwise he could face some pretty serious prison time. 406 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: I also think that he should spend some time in prison. 407 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: I'd have to look at what the statutory guidelines are. 408 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: But I don't think this should be a slap on 409 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: the resk situation. I don't think that this should be 410 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: treated like this is okay. Someone tell me how George 411 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: Papadopolis deserves to go to prison for two weeks and 412 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 1: this guy's Smallett for for what, by the way, lying 413 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: about nothing, a non lie about a non crime. Jesse 414 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: Smollett should not go to prison for this. All the resources, 415 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: all the time wasted, the cost of the taxpayers, and 416 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: the disrespect shown to the families of dead children in 417 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: Chicago who couldn't expect the same resources devoted to their 418 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: children's cases because the Democrat politicians who control Chicago didn't 419 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: see those murders as important as this small a hoax. 420 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: That's what's really happening here. There's got to be a 421 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: case here, There ought to be a case here. We 422 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: live in a time where what is it a competition? 423 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: See how quickly you can destroy someone and how quickly 424 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: you can destroy someone with a falsehood. I mean this 425 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: is unbelievable. This rush to judgment, this rush to condemnation 426 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: these boys, and that will be tagging these boys forever, 427 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: no matter what happens in this lawsuit. Shameful. That tells 428 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: you something about where the country is and where a 429 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: lot of the media is. He's not only the apologies 430 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: to do it. Given the state of the social media 431 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: and given what we have seen, something has to be done. 432 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's what citizens, non lawyers like 433 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: myself say. You cannot just have this system where you 434 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: rush to judgment, destroy somebody and then pick up the 435 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: pieces later. It's a big lesson civics and withholding judgment 436 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 1: and the burden to proof, remember the whole business with Kavanaugh. 437 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: Can we see where the proof is before we make 438 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: a judgment. Covington Catholic is suing coving Catholic student rather 439 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: Nick Sandman, not the school, is suing the Washington Post 440 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: for two hundred and fifty million dollars, which, interestingly enough, 441 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: is what Jeff Bezos paid for the Washington Post same amount. 442 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: I don't think that's an accident, in folks, that's what 443 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: Bezos paid to buy the Post in twenty thirteen. This 444 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: lawsuit from Covington. Catholic is seeking fifty million dollars in 445 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: compensation for the alleged damage done, and it wants an 446 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: additional two hundred million dollars impunitive damages in order to 447 00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: punish the company for what it did. And you have, 448 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: of course, the spokespeople for Washington posting they're gonna fight this, 449 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: YadA YadA, the rest of it. Let me say this, 450 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: I think I think that the Covington folks here have 451 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: a case. I spoke to Professor Dershowitz today about this, 452 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: and he said, look, you know, these are not there's 453 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: a different standard. These are not public figures. These are 454 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: private citizens. And they didn't ask for this, they didn't 455 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: want this, and there must be some standard. There must 456 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: be some required due diligence for media organizations before they 457 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: can destroy someone's life. I'm sorry, I think that there 458 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: has to be a line drawn here if you are 459 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: not a public figure, if you are somebody that is 460 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: a private citizen who is drawn into something like this. Yes, 461 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: of course the media can write about it, but they 462 00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: have to do so with some sense of a possible liability. 463 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: Otherwise they're in a position where they can be utterly reckless, 464 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: do exactly what they did to these Cummington kids, drive 465 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: all kinds of clicks and just later on say they're 466 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: going to apologize. See, this is a big disconnect for 467 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: the media in this country. The mainstream likes to get 468 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: things wrong, but get things wrong that are always feeding 469 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: their base what they want, you know whatever, whether it's 470 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: on the j Smollett case or any of these stories 471 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: they like to tell their readership or to show their viewers. Yeah, yeah, 472 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: the narrative that we give you all the time. Here's 473 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: more of that. Here's more racism in America, Here's more 474 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: white male patriarchy at work. Here's more Donald Trump as 475 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: a trade or whatever it may be. And then they 476 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: think that they should get a pat on the back 477 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: and thank you so much when they have to correct 478 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: they're insanely false story. This is why they are fake news. 479 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: They don't seem to either recognize or accept that by 480 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: getting stories like this so incredibly wrong over and over again, 481 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: people are going to not trust them. You know this, 482 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: this is not if you would up. I was about 483 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: to do an analogy. Now I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, 484 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go no analogy here, you understand what I'm saying. 485 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: In any other profession, if you kept getting the if 486 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,719 Speaker 1: you kept getting it wrong and then correcting yourself, you 487 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: would suffer consequences. Journalists seem to think that on big 488 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: stories that they get wrong, there's no problem. And this 489 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: is you know, enough, enough is enough. We need to 490 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: hold them accountable for what's going on here.

You know CNN 556 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: is a dumpster fire of partisan hackery. But yeah, sure, 557 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: let's pretend like it's something else.

AMACK is better, better for you, better for America. Look, 575 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 1: I've had my own runnings with Andy McCabe, and this 576 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 1: is part of the problem. That Andy McCabe FBI was 577 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: protect James Comy FBI at all costs. They didn't wear 578 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: blinders the way justice is supposed to be done. They 579 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: were blindly loyal to Jim Comey under coomy, I was 580 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: invited to participate to lead a FBI counter terrorism communications 581 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: training session. When Comey got fired, I said some mildly 582 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: critical things about Comey and Andie McCabe. I was literally 583 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 1: in an FBI car on my way to the event. 584 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: McCabe told the car to drop me off because I 585 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: criticized Comy mildly. He was so defensive about James Comy 586 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 1: he actually canceled the training portion of a counter terrorism event, 587 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: told the car let him out. That's Andy McCabe for you. 588 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 1: And this is a whole reflection of the top leadership 589 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 1: of the FBI. Protect James Comey at all costs. That's 590 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,919 Speaker 1: the problem with blind loyalty. It's all coming out now. 591 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: That little vignette that Ari Fleischer shared of Andy McCabe, 592 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: that's a rise any of you. Did it surprise you 593 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: that McCabe would act in such a disrespectful and just 594 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:14,880 Speaker 1: really childish fashion in order to show his just undying 595 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: loyalty to Komey, who is a lanky clown show Okay, 596 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 1: I mean Komi is a jerk, a jerk who put 597 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 1: himself in the center of incredibly politically sensitive situations and 598 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 1: did so knowingly and willfully and somehow always came out 599 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: on the Democrat side of things, all right. Hillary was 600 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 1: the candidate of the establishment and the institutions of the bureaucracy, 601 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,359 Speaker 1: all right, Hillary was the status quo for people who 602 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 1: think that they're really important in the government, and in 603 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 1: the government that's there forever not the elected government. So 604 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: they went with her their previous partisan affiliations. People say, oh, 605 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: Republicans like Muller and Republican like Homey, that's nothing. Republicans 606 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: hate Trump as much as any leftists. In many cases, 607 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 1: the never Trump Republicans hate Trump like nobody else. And 608 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 1: that's what you had with McCabe. But never Trump Republican. 609 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 1: But you have these stories that are starting to come 610 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 1: out now, and we're really seeing that these individuals who 611 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: held incredibly powerful roles in the government were whacko. They're 612 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: not reasonable, they're not rational when it comes to Trump, 613 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 1: the limits of their power, the importance of their role 614 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: in the government. They were drunk with power. They were maniacs. Really, 615 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,800 Speaker 1: I mean that McCabe's story that should should send a 616 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,439 Speaker 1: chill down your spine. My friends. This is a guy 617 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: who is determining who the FBI, the eye of soroon 618 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 1: of the federal government, would turn on at any given time. 619 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: And you think that you think that the first time 620 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: that his own personal anim came to bear was over 621 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: James Comey, No way. This guy has been playing the 622 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: partisan actor. He's been doing people dirty, as we say 623 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 1: in the law enforcement business for a long time. I 624 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 1: assure you of it. I assure you of it. And 625 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: you have this also national security lawyer. I forget what 626 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 1: her role was. I think she might have been at 627 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 1: the NSC or the one of these, one of these 628 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: national security outfits, Samantha Vinograd from CNN. She goes on TV. 629 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 1: You know, McCabe is obviously a whack as obviously a 630 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 1: whack of do Vinograd CNN loves. CNN has gotten all 631 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 1: these just these Hillary prototypes, these Hillary bots to go 632 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 1: on TV. You know these people and I don't mean 633 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: because they're women. I mean, and you know, it's the 634 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: guy the one of looks like Pajama Boy from the FBI, 635 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: who was Comey's he was basically Comey's coffee boy. You know, 636 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: he's on at CNN all the time now. And Vinograd, 637 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 1: I don't really know her, but I've seen her pop 638 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: up a few times. The Asha Rangappa, who makes a 639 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,320 Speaker 1: fool of herself publicly all that says idiotic things and 640 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: c A end just collapsed for she teaches at Yale. 641 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean anything teaches on counter terrorism or something there. 642 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it's all it's all nonsense. These people don't 643 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: actually have any real knowledge. And you know, there's knowledge 644 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,279 Speaker 1: and there's judgment too, right, judgment is part of the 645 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 1: application of knowledge. You can know some stuff but always 646 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 1: make poor decisions and not be very useful as a teacher, 647 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,880 Speaker 1: not be very useful as a as an analyst. But 648 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 1: here's CNN's Sam Vinograd again on this. These people are nuts, 649 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 1: They're wackos. Play seven. Is that investigation still ongoing? The 650 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,399 Speaker 1: CAPE has said that the president's moves to undercut Rush 651 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 1: related investigations, to believe Ladimir Putin over his intelligence community 652 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:02,439 Speaker 1: to make personnel decisions based upon Russia related matters all 653 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,759 Speaker 1: led to this investigation. Mkate would have laid that out 654 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,959 Speaker 1: before the Gang of Eight, But just in the past 655 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: few days, the counterintelligence red flags are flying a lot 656 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,959 Speaker 1: higher than they did, arguably when this investigation was first launched. 657 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 1: So it is entirely possible, Kate that the Gang of 658 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 1: Eight has been briefed on an ongoing investigation because that 659 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: hasn't concluded, and that other members of the US government 660 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,840 Speaker 1: were briefed before, like the director of the CIA, Mike Pompey, 661 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 1: who's now Secretary of State, and that this on investigation 662 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,880 Speaker 1: is continuing, and there is still a chance that Vladimir 663 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: Putin is controlling the White House. Still a chance this 664 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 1: woman's on TV held up as an expert. Still a 665 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: chance that Vladimir Putin is controlling the White House. I mean, 666 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,839 Speaker 1: is she a moron? I don't mean, I'm not trying 667 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 1: to be mean. I actually is she just really not bright? 668 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: I mean, there's still a chance that she's a space 669 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 1: alien and we just haven't run the DNA testing to 670 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,399 Speaker 1: know that she's made to look and sound and talk 671 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: rugye human, but she's really a space alien. There's a chance. 672 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 1: Can you prove it? I can't prove it. This is 673 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:13,839 Speaker 1: how silly these people have become. This is how ridiculous 674 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 1: they are. And it's not just the people that are 675 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: the analysts that are going on trying to magnify what 676 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: the praetorian anti trumpsters we're doing and saying it's in 677 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: their own words, Andy McCabe, I mean, the investigation by 678 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 1: the Muller team is going to end next week. I've 679 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 1: been telling you now for the last couple of weeks, 680 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: it's about to end because I have good sources here 681 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 1: in DC, and I knew that this was where this 682 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 1: was heading. Those of you listen to the show know this. 683 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 1: So McCabe was asked if he thinks Trump is a 684 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,359 Speaker 1: Russian asset. And now understand, an asset is somebody who 685 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: is wittingly or unwittingly in the control of a foreign power. 686 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 1: So the only way that Trump could be an asset 687 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,959 Speaker 1: of the Russian government is if the Russians were straight 688 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: up saying, hey, this is Vlad Putin do this thing 689 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,880 Speaker 1: because I said so and he does it. Or if 690 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:17,240 Speaker 1: the Russians had put a senior person close to Trump 691 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: or in Trump's orbit, who would give Trump, you know, 692 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,439 Speaker 1: their orders and Trump would you know, essentially a false 693 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 1: flag situation, that would be an unwitting asset. Anyone who 694 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 1: believes either one of those things about this president is 695 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,480 Speaker 1: an idiot, is an idiot, you know who believes it, 696 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 1: or at least wants to keep open the door to it. 697 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,840 Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna say no A d one A don't. 698 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:39,640 Speaker 1: I might and I might not. You know, this is 699 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: where Andy McCabe is on this stuff. This is what 700 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,839 Speaker 1: he said when asked about this play clip for do 701 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 1: you still believe the president could be a Russian asset? 702 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,320 Speaker 1: I think it's possible. I think that's why we started 703 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,240 Speaker 1: our investigation, and I'm really anxious to see where Director 704 00:44:55,320 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 1: Muller concludes that it's possible. Huh No, it's not, you jerk. 705 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,560 Speaker 1: What a horrible thing to say. By the way, what 706 00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 1: a horrifically nasty, undermining, untrue smear. Make no mistake about it. 707 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:19,760 Speaker 1: This is the former acting director of the Federal Bureau 708 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 1: of Investigation smearing the president with the insinuation that he 709 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:31,320 Speaker 1: is a traitor, a traitor to the United States. This president, 710 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:36,279 Speaker 1: the president who loves America and is pro America and 711 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 1: says America first, and all he wants to do is 712 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:43,840 Speaker 1: create prosperity and implement policies that will benefit all Americans, 713 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,359 Speaker 1: even the Americans too stupid to know that the things 714 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:47,800 Speaker 1: that he's trying to do are good for them and 715 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 1: are the right thing. That president is a traitor, maybe, 716 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 1: you know, I mean this would be like this is like, 717 00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 1: you know, a journalist writing the story about somebody that 718 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,960 Speaker 1: is so and so a pedophile question Mark well, I 719 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,360 Speaker 1: put a question mark there, so I'm not I'm not 720 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,920 Speaker 1: saying this guy's a pedophile. I'm just saying maybe he's 721 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:14,839 Speaker 1: a pedophile because there's a question mark. Disgusting, unethical, immoral. 722 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:19,279 Speaker 1: These people should be shamed out of the public out 723 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 1: of the public square. These people should be treated with 724 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:29,359 Speaker 1: the ignominious disdain that they deserve. Instead, the media wants 725 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,440 Speaker 1: to lionize them. The media wants to treat them like 726 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,319 Speaker 1: they are truth tellers. No, they're nuts. Normal people could 727 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:41,400 Speaker 1: not believe the things that McCabe and Vinagrad and Rangapa 728 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 1: and these others at CNN and elsewhere that they think 729 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 1: and go on TV and say. Normal people could not 730 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: believe this. Only people who are dishonest or stupid. I 731 00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 1: don't have a third explanation. And I just want us 732 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,640 Speaker 1: all to remember this. When the mullarport drops and there 733 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,279 Speaker 1: is no collusion, and they all, all these people that 734 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 1: wanted to be in the public the public eye, that 735 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 1: want the attention on CNN, that want to do all this, 736 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,120 Speaker 1: they're going to scurry out of the light like cockroaches 737 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 1: fleeing your flashlight in the basement. I don't know collusion. 738 00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 1: I know there's no collusion, and then they'll come right 739 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 1: back out. Then then the roaches will gather again, want 740 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:21,520 Speaker 1: to be right on it, you know, right in the 741 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:25,000 Speaker 1: spotlight on CNN. Then they'll want to gather again when 742 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,239 Speaker 1: it's time to talk about the Southern District of New 743 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,560 Speaker 1: York or the time some other investment Trump's tax returns. 744 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 1: You know, we're supposed to believe them on that. I'd 745 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,000 Speaker 1: ask you this, why would these same media organizations and 746 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:41,720 Speaker 1: the same media analysts who were too dumb to figure 747 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: out that Jesse Smollett was a hoax? Why do we 748 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,359 Speaker 1: think that they're better and more trustworthy and more unbiased 749 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,279 Speaker 1: on the issue of Russia collusion. Does anyone want to 750 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,440 Speaker 1: take a shot at that one, a much more complicated, 751 00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,719 Speaker 1: a much higher stake story. The answers, we shouldn't trust 752 00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 1: them on any of that. The answer is the media 753 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,000 Speaker 1: is never going to be the same, and that's a 754 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:08,880 Speaker 1: good thing. You know. It's in politics and every campaign 755 00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,719 Speaker 1: I've been onced of going back to nineteen eighty two, 756 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 1: you're told that their opponent at X did why did 757 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,880 Speaker 1: zey and he's a terrible guy, did drugs, he's a criminal, 758 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 1: And you have to vet this stuff because hardly ever 759 00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,560 Speaker 1: is it true. But people make things up about people 760 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 1: in politics. You would think the FBI would be immune 761 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,240 Speaker 1: from that. At the top level. I think the FBI 762 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 1: bought in on every worst scenario, worst case argument about 763 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and they believe it the way a partisan 764 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,360 Speaker 1: believes and not the way a neutral fact finding a 765 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,920 Speaker 1: law enforcement officers shouldn't believe it. So I think they 766 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,439 Speaker 1: were driven by animus and it shows up in their 767 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,920 Speaker 1: in their tweets, I mean, in their emails that were 768 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,319 Speaker 1: now disclosed. It shows up in their approach. For Andy 769 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,719 Speaker 1: McCabe to this day to say that he can't rule 770 00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,279 Speaker 1: out that the president of the United States is a 771 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,239 Speaker 1: Russian asset, doesn't that tell you a lot about Andy 772 00:48:53,360 --> 00:49:00,120 Speaker 1: McCabe's bad judgment. Ari Fleicher is absolutely correct, and he's 773 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 1: really selling me more on the in my whole x 774 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 1: y axes of stupid versus dishonest. I think that increasingly 775 00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 1: some of these senior government figures, and the reason they're 776 00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,000 Speaker 1: so nasty about this and they've dug in so deep, 777 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 1: the reason McCabe and combing others, is they're actually not 778 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,759 Speaker 1: that smart. They did get fooled by some of this, 779 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,319 Speaker 1: some of it was driven by animus and just their 780 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:32,000 Speaker 1: disdain for the president, but also they were fooled. I 781 00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,839 Speaker 1: think I do think that in the early stages they 782 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 1: believe that they were uncovering some international conspiracy between Trump 783 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:46,960 Speaker 1: and the Russians to essentially run this Manchurian candidate all 784 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,400 Speaker 1: the way up into the White House on behalf of 785 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,480 Speaker 1: the Kremlin. I think that some of them kind of 786 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:55,799 Speaker 1: believe that, as insane as that is, which really just 787 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 1: goes to they're not that smart. They're not that smart, 788 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,759 Speaker 1: I will tell you in a lot of these government agencies, 789 00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 1: of the cream does not rise to the top. Some 790 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:10,360 Speaker 1: of the worst people in them, In fact, the most sociopathic, 791 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:15,000 Speaker 1: the nastiest bureaucratic, infighters, the ones who just play the 792 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,799 Speaker 1: internal politics the best and will throw their colleagues under 793 00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,919 Speaker 1: the bus and will take credit that others are due, 794 00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:24,600 Speaker 1: and all those are the people that often elevate themselves 795 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 1: within a bureaucracy because excellence in a bureaucracy, I can 796 00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 1: tell you from having worked with the CIA, excellence is questionable. 797 00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:38,400 Speaker 1: Excellence is suspect. You don't want to go beyond what 798 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,520 Speaker 1: is expected of you in any role, because you're making 799 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,319 Speaker 1: the other people who just want to show up and 800 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:47,120 Speaker 1: do the minimum look bad. They don't like excellence. So 801 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:51,719 Speaker 1: the kind of people in that environment that rise are 802 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:56,719 Speaker 1: people like Andy McCabe, and they are very bitter the 803 00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,600 Speaker 1: moment that they're confronted with this reality, the moment that 804 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,279 Speaker 1: they're funded with the prospect that much of what they 805 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,520 Speaker 1: believed about themselves they may be frauds. In a way. 806 00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:08,960 Speaker 1: They're not the guardians of the Republic that they pretend 807 00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,319 Speaker 1: to be. They're just somebody shown up doing a job, 808 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,160 Speaker 1: and some of them don't do it nearly as ethically 809 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:21,239 Speaker 1: as they should. McCabe, for example, has fallen back on this, 810 00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,640 Speaker 1: has fallen back on this storyline that the reason that 811 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,279 Speaker 1: there are inconsistencies, which is another way another way of 812 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,800 Speaker 1: saying someone's lying between his version of events and Coomey's 813 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,520 Speaker 1: version of events, is because you know, they were just 814 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:39,200 Speaker 1: really stressed out playclip three. These comments about the twenty 815 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,279 Speaker 1: fifth Amendment and about wearing a wire have been a 816 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 1: little bit distracting, but nevertheless, we were all operating under 817 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 1: incredible stress. You know, you have to remember, Savannah, this 818 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:52,239 Speaker 1: came at an incredibly stressful time to be fair, it 819 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,840 Speaker 1: was an unbelievably stressful time. I can't even describe for 820 00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,400 Speaker 1: you how many things must have been coursing through the 821 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,440 Speaker 1: Deputy Attorney General's mind at that point. It is understandable 822 00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,279 Speaker 1: he was an under an enormous amount of stress at 823 00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:08,680 Speaker 1: the time. The point is the stress and the complexity 824 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,919 Speaker 1: of the issues that we were discussing at the time. 825 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:15,799 Speaker 1: I can't describe to you accurately enough the pressure and 826 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,319 Speaker 1: the chaos. So you can see that in those conditions, 827 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:25,440 Speaker 1: those incredibly stressful times, it was incredibly turbulent, incredibly stressful, 828 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:27,560 Speaker 1: and it was clear to me that that stress was 829 00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:34,960 Speaker 1: impacting the Deputy Attorney General. Incredibly stressful, so much stress. 830 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,480 Speaker 1: Oh my, how could we handle? This? Guy's the head 831 00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:43,279 Speaker 1: of the FBI. When Coley gets fired, this is this 832 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:47,040 Speaker 1: is the best that he can do. I mean, he 833 00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:51,360 Speaker 1: has the ability to ruin lives based on his discretion, 834 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,840 Speaker 1: and we're supposed to believe that he can't tell the truth, 835 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:58,040 Speaker 1: or rather, in addition to that, we're supposed to believe 836 00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 1: that he got a little too worked up because the stress, 837 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,080 Speaker 1: so he thought about a coup against the president of 838 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:09,440 Speaker 1: the United States. Does he think that we're all imbeciles, 839 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,359 Speaker 1: or is he just a phony, a fraud and a loon. 840 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:18,160 Speaker 1: Stupid question. That is a stupid question, because I think 841 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:22,719 Speaker 1: it's both. This is who we're supposed to believe, This 842 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,880 Speaker 1: is who we're supposed to think is just fine, and 843 00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 1: we're supposed to think we should have trusted all this time. 844 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:35,600 Speaker 1: Look at the people that have left and are going 845 00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,600 Speaker 1: out there making this case against Trump. Do you ever 846 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 1: respect for any of them? Coomy, McCabe, Struck, Brannan Clapper. 847 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,280 Speaker 1: Have any of them acquitted themselves as men of honor 848 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:54,840 Speaker 1: as as people of integrity? Do any of them look 849 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,440 Speaker 1: like they were non partisan actors in their jobs, that 850 00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 1: they were just about the mission first and about serving 851 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:05,799 Speaker 1: the president, whoever the president may be. They have not 852 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:10,239 Speaker 1: only disgraced themselves. I think they have done tremendous damage. 853 00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:14,640 Speaker 1: Came Brandon Clapper, mcabe, the whole squad. They've done tremendous 854 00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:20,000 Speaker 1: damage to the institutions that they once led. Now future 855 00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 1: presidents would be foolish not to consider the political affiliation 856 00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,880 Speaker 1: of the people that are the senior most advisors and 857 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 1: decision makers from these agencies. They'd be foolish not to 858 00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,800 Speaker 1: think about that, especially if they're a conservative, they're a 859 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:41,120 Speaker 1: Republican because they know that the deep Staters are of 860 00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:45,480 Speaker 1: the state, and that means they're going to be Democrat leaning, 861 00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:53,080 Speaker 1: if not Democrat activists, if not hardcore lefties. This is 862 00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,839 Speaker 1: very troubling for the future of how these organizations will 863 00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:00,840 Speaker 1: interact with White Houses, and and I think that we 864 00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,960 Speaker 1: should do it. We should really have a full accounting 865 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,800 Speaker 1: of this, and I'm hoping that there will be justice, 866 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:11,120 Speaker 1: but I'm not going to hold my breath. Abandoning the 867 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:15,160 Speaker 1: high speed rail entirely means we will have wasted billions 868 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:19,960 Speaker 1: and billions of dollars with nothing but broken promises, partially 869 00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:24,440 Speaker 1: fulfilled commitments, and lawsuits to show for it. With all 870 00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:28,200 Speaker 1: due respect, I have no interest in sending back three 871 00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:31,319 Speaker 1: and a half billion dollars of federal funding that was 872 00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 1: allocated to this project to President Donald Trump. So the 873 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 1: high speed rail dream in California is being abandoned. It's 874 00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:47,280 Speaker 1: being abandoned because, as we mentioned earlier, I think this week, 875 00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:53,200 Speaker 1: it is wildly over budget, it has dramatically underperformed, and 876 00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 1: it has run into all of the problems that you 877 00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,000 Speaker 1: and I are quite aware come up when you're leading 878 00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,600 Speaker 1: things like this to the government that in our current 879 00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:08,600 Speaker 1: climate of environmentalist groups and activists and all kinds of 880 00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:15,040 Speaker 1: regulation and just the Democrat Party running California as a 881 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:19,960 Speaker 1: subsidiary of the DNC. I mean, the Democrats own California. 882 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:24,200 Speaker 1: It's a one party state that when they're in charge 883 00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,720 Speaker 1: of something like this, even something that they are really 884 00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:32,839 Speaker 1: passionate about, they do a bad job. They can't get 885 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:37,319 Speaker 1: it done, they can't make the numbers work. And I 886 00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,640 Speaker 1: know for a lot of you're like, well, Buck, although 887 00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:43,000 Speaker 1: we have a very very robust audience out in California, 888 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,239 Speaker 1: what's up, Callie, Thank you for listening to the Buck 889 00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:50,760 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. But this is I think for anybody who's 890 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:54,000 Speaker 1: being honest, this has to be an indicator of what 891 00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:59,320 Speaker 1: our expectations should be when the government takes on massive 892 00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,880 Speaker 1: projects that would be much better handled by the private 893 00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:08,640 Speaker 1: sector or the market as free as we can make it. Right, 894 00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:10,880 Speaker 1: the same people that will look at you now and 895 00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:18,400 Speaker 1: say that we have a situation of healthcare that needs 896 00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:22,520 Speaker 1: to be addressed by the government don't seem to understand. 897 00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,680 Speaker 1: Don't seem to understand that the government more involved in 898 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,760 Speaker 1: healthcare is going to make it more expensive and more 899 00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:34,200 Speaker 1: inefficient because the incentive structure, and this really goes also 900 00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,560 Speaker 1: to the heart of the problem we have with the 901 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,320 Speaker 1: rise of socialism in this country. The incentive structure is 902 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 1: just wrong. Government does not have the same interest in 903 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:51,720 Speaker 1: creating a high speed rail as people that can do 904 00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,280 Speaker 1: this and that will try to make a profit for themselves. 905 00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,760 Speaker 1: Often I'm not saying they have no incentive, right, the 906 00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:58,840 Speaker 1: government's incentive is to do what it says it's going 907 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:02,080 Speaker 1: to do, or else payers get annoyed, and maybe some 908 00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:05,360 Speaker 1: people get voted out. But it's a very inexact, a 909 00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:10,960 Speaker 1: very murky accountability situation. Whereas if you're the investor, if 910 00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:12,560 Speaker 1: you're the one putting money in the line, you want 911 00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 1: to get this rail system built, you want to make 912 00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:19,600 Speaker 1: sure that it functions properly. You know, obviously you have 913 00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:23,840 Speaker 1: a more acute sense of what your incentives are, and 914 00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:27,880 Speaker 1: that really matters. But California doesn't want to learn its 915 00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:29,720 Speaker 1: lesson here. The rest of the country doesn't want to 916 00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:34,320 Speaker 1: learn its lesson. They still like this myth that the 917 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,400 Speaker 1: government is effective and efficient and will do things better. 918 00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,920 Speaker 1: I mean, the big lie about our healthcare system right 919 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:44,680 Speaker 1: now is that if we only gave more control to 920 00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,360 Speaker 1: the government, we would get better healthcare and it would 921 00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:51,360 Speaker 1: be a more efficient system, and that even though people 922 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,000 Speaker 1: would have to pay a lot more in taxes. That's 923 00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,640 Speaker 1: middle class folks. If you're listening to this and you 924 00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:01,760 Speaker 1: make fortied one hundred twenty thousand dollars a year or 925 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,320 Speaker 1: thirty five to one hundred and twenty thousand dollars a year, 926 00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:06,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna pay a lot more in taxes with the 927 00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,760 Speaker 1: Medicare for All program. Just wait. But they'd say, oh no, 928 00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,920 Speaker 1: it'll be more effective, it'll be better. You'll save more 929 00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,200 Speaker 1: on your healthcare costs than you'll pay out in taxes. 930 00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:21,840 Speaker 1: Don't believe them. They're wrong. But unfortunately they also never 931 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:28,800 Speaker 1: ever learn their lesson Bernie Sanders, speaking of socialism and 932 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:32,760 Speaker 1: government projects, Bernie Sanders, who run those so cuddly. He 933 00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,120 Speaker 1: just wants to go around and give everybody free stuff, 934 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,800 Speaker 1: free school, free college, free healthcare. It's gonna be amazing. 935 00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,120 Speaker 1: He's so in New York and yet he's so Vermont 936 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:46,480 Speaker 1: at the same time. It's very interesting. But Bernie Sanders, 937 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,960 Speaker 1: you may recall, because now we're being told, ooh, he's 938 00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:52,800 Speaker 1: a democratic socialist. He's not one of the scary socialists 939 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,280 Speaker 1: that puts too much control in government hands. He went 940 00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:59,640 Speaker 1: to the Soviet Union in nineteen eighty eight. Not Russia, folks, 941 01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:04,640 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union. He made a trip there and came 942 01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:09,680 Speaker 1: back to the US effusive with his praise of the 943 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:13,480 Speaker 1: Soviet system. We're just talking about trains in California and 944 01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 1: the costs of the high speed train, and it's been 945 01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:19,560 Speaker 1: totally abandoned there. Guess what someone like Bernie Sanders is 946 01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:22,840 Speaker 1: going to tell you, Oh, if only the government was 947 01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:26,120 Speaker 1: running transportation, the government was running that transportation. For only 948 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,720 Speaker 1: the government was running transportation like they do in the 949 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,200 Speaker 1: Soviet Union, things would be much better. This is a flashback. 950 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:35,800 Speaker 1: This is the burn back in nineteen eighty eight when 951 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:40,280 Speaker 1: he returned state side talking about Soviet transportation play twenty one. 952 01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:46,240 Speaker 1: People here also were extremely impressed by their public transportation system. 953 01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:52,680 Speaker 1: The stations themselves were absolutely beautiful, including many works of art, chandeliers, 954 01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:56,240 Speaker 1: the beautiful. It was a very very effective system. Also, 955 01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,960 Speaker 1: I was impressed by the youth programs that they have 956 01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:04,080 Speaker 1: their palaces of culture for the young people, a whole 957 01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,920 Speaker 1: variety of young of programs for young people and cultural 958 01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,680 Speaker 1: programs which go fob yond what we knew in this country. 959 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:16,920 Speaker 1: We went to a theater in Yaroslavl which was absolutely beautiful, 960 01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:20,440 Speaker 1: had three separate stages where cultural programs are put on 961 01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:25,080 Speaker 1: by professional actors and actresses, including a puppeteer area and 962 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,400 Speaker 1: the court. The highest price of the ticket that you 963 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:32,440 Speaker 1: can get was the equivalent of a dollar fifty. Bernie 964 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,960 Speaker 1: Sanders there, folks in the late eighties, almost at the 965 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,600 Speaker 1: fall of the Wall, talking about how great the Soviet 966 01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:45,000 Speaker 1: Union's transportation system is and cultural programs. It's effectively a 967 01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,840 Speaker 1: Soviet propagandist here in the United States. That's what he was, 968 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:53,200 Speaker 1: That's what he's doing. So you can tell me that 969 01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,480 Speaker 1: Bernie's philosophy has changed a lot and he's learned a 970 01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:58,800 Speaker 1: lot since then. That was a long time ago. But 971 01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,680 Speaker 1: how how many of you who were contemporaries of Bernie 972 01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 1: Sanders thought the Soviet Union was praiseworthy in so many 973 01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:08,960 Speaker 1: ways and had great stuff that we should learn from. 974 01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:13,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to guess the answer is zero. I remember, 975 01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,640 Speaker 1: during my time in the Middle East, on a couple 976 01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:23,280 Speaker 1: of occasions, riding around in some Iraqi vehicles that were fraught. 977 01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:27,160 Speaker 1: They were essentially old Soviet vehicles that because you know, 978 01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:31,280 Speaker 1: the Soviets had sold them to Iraq. And I mean 979 01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:35,400 Speaker 1: these things they looked like a bumper car from the eighties, 980 01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,280 Speaker 1: but they were meant for a military transport, and they 981 01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:41,040 Speaker 1: went about as fast and worked about as well as 982 01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,040 Speaker 1: as a bumper car would have. I mean, it was 983 01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:46,439 Speaker 1: just a complete joke what these things were like. And 984 01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:50,360 Speaker 1: the moment you start talking about consumer consumer products and 985 01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:54,720 Speaker 1: vehicles and all of this, and you're gonna tell me 986 01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:58,000 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union had it better. I just at what 987 01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:01,600 Speaker 1: point is this not stupidity but malice. I leave that 988 01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:06,560 Speaker 1: to you. And if that's not enough, Bernie Sanders, because 989 01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:12,360 Speaker 1: he's so into the extreme equality of the Soviet Union, 990 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,760 Speaker 1: which as we know, was actually deeply unequal. If you're 991 01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,080 Speaker 1: a member of the Communist Party, you had access to 992 01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:20,840 Speaker 1: different food, different healthcare, better housing, better everything than the 993 01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:27,400 Speaker 1: rest of the population that was enslaved in misery. But 994 01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:29,960 Speaker 1: Bernie around that same at that same speech that he 995 01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:31,960 Speaker 1: gave there when he came back from missing Soviet Union 996 01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,840 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty eight, he went so far as to 997 01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:38,520 Speaker 1: straight up praise I'm not making this up you'll hear 998 01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:43,160 Speaker 1: him praise breadlines. You know, breadlines are very very equal, 999 01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:46,880 Speaker 1: very egalitarian play twenty two. You know, it's funny sometimes 1000 01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 1: American journalists talk about how bad a country is because 1001 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:52,520 Speaker 1: people are lining up for food. That's a good thing. 1002 01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,200 Speaker 1: In other countries, people don't line up for food. The 1003 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,360 Speaker 1: rich gets a food and the poor staff to death. 1004 01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,440 Speaker 1: Now that's obviously, in the context of America and the West, 1005 01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:06,480 Speaker 1: a lie. In fact, if you're going to talk about starvation, 1006 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,680 Speaker 1: you should probably talk about the mass famine in the 1007 01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:14,880 Speaker 1: Soviet Union in the twentieth century, which was a feature, 1008 01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:20,320 Speaker 1: not a bug, of Soviet policy, starving people in Ukraine, 1009 01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:24,080 Speaker 1: starving the Coulocks, who are this independent farmer class. The 1010 01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:27,960 Speaker 1: liquidation of the Coulocks done partly through starvation and partly 1011 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,800 Speaker 1: through the accesses of the secret police. I wonder if 1012 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:35,840 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders even knows that history, which is not contested, 1013 01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,920 Speaker 1: This is not an opinion, this is all fact. I 1014 01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,000 Speaker 1: wonder if he knows if you're gonna talk about starvation 1015 01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:45,600 Speaker 1: in the twentieth century, you would have to look to China, 1016 01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:50,480 Speaker 1: to the Soviet Union, to communist states. He thinks that 1017 01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:54,840 Speaker 1: breadlines are this was Bernie Sanders himself saying it, I 1018 01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,600 Speaker 1: don't care. This was a long time ago. Anybody over 1019 01:04:57,640 --> 01:05:00,720 Speaker 1: the age of twelve should know that bread lines are 1020 01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:05,760 Speaker 1: a disaster, are the result of economic disaster and deprivation. 1021 01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:08,440 Speaker 1: He thought that breadlines were something to be proud of. 1022 01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:14,240 Speaker 1: Breadlines were a good thing. Now. I understand that the 1023 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,200 Speaker 1: argument is going to be that Bernie Sanders has learned 1024 01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 1: a lot since then. But has he? Do we really 1025 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:26,560 Speaker 1: think that Sanders and Occasio Cortes and others reject the 1026 01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:31,480 Speaker 1: root fallacies of collectivism and socialism as shown in the 1027 01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:34,560 Speaker 1: Soviet model, or do they just think that they'll do 1028 01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:38,439 Speaker 1: it better. The same ideas are good from the Soviet Union, 1029 01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,160 Speaker 1: but we'll do a better version of that stuff here, 1030 01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:48,000 Speaker 1: that redistribution here, that collectivism here. Ocazio Cortes made an 1031 01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:55,400 Speaker 1: absolute imbecile of herself yesterday when she was applauding, cheering 1032 01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:58,880 Speaker 1: for the fact that they scared Amazon out of New 1033 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:04,320 Speaker 1: York City. Five thousand jobs gone, All kinds of investment 1034 01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:07,720 Speaker 1: and productivity and commerce that would have gone on in 1035 01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:11,479 Speaker 1: the Long Island City area of Queens gone. She thinks 1036 01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,400 Speaker 1: this is to be praise. She thinks this is a 1037 01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:22,000 Speaker 1: cause for celebration. Why oh, because of fairness and stuff? 1038 01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:27,120 Speaker 1: What because corporations and exploitation and we don't want that 1039 01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:34,440 Speaker 1: here in our city. That strikes me as again wildly ignorant, 1040 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,960 Speaker 1: but so ignorant and so stupid that I give her 1041 01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:38,840 Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt and think that there must 1042 01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:46,680 Speaker 1: be a healthy dose of malice in her analysis. I 1043 01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:50,080 Speaker 1: hope that some of the socialists that we see right 1044 01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:53,200 Speaker 1: now on the scene in America don't really believe some 1045 01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,680 Speaker 1: of what they say and are merely speaking to the 1046 01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,479 Speaker 1: left as demagogues. Right, the working definition we can always 1047 01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:03,080 Speaker 1: use of debt of demagoguery or of demagogues. I think 1048 01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:06,919 Speaker 1: this is from Mankin is somebody who says things he 1049 01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,560 Speaker 1: knows to be untrue to a room full of people 1050 01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,840 Speaker 1: who he knows to be idiots. I hope the left 1051 01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:15,080 Speaker 1: is doing that on socialism. I'm not sure that they are. 1052 01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:19,439 Speaker 1: I think that there are true believers in their ranks now, 1053 01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,120 Speaker 1: and we have some of them on record, like Bernie Sanders, 1054 01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:26,439 Speaker 1: the most prominent of them, on record saying that breadlines 1055 01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:29,600 Speaker 1: show a more equal society than what we have in 1056 01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:34,760 Speaker 1: the West. That's trumbling. It's not something we can ignore. 1057 01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:37,160 Speaker 1: It's not something that we should sweep under the rug, 1058 01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:39,560 Speaker 1: and we'll continue to follow this here on the show. 1059 01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:45,480 Speaker 1: We'll be right back. When I hear the name Tulsi Gabbard, 1060 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:49,080 Speaker 1: I think of Assad apologist. I think of someone who 1061 01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,600 Speaker 1: comes back to United States and is spouting propaganda from Syria. 1062 01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:55,360 Speaker 1: You have said that the Syrian president Assad is not 1063 01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:58,240 Speaker 1: the enemy of the United States, yet he's used chemical 1064 01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:00,440 Speaker 1: weapons against his own people three hundred times. That was 1065 01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:03,760 Speaker 1: a red line with President Obama. That is not our enemy. 1066 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,040 Speaker 1: Thirteen million Syrians have been displaced. So when you say 1067 01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:10,800 Speaker 1: regime change is hurtful for the country, but gassing children 1068 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:14,200 Speaker 1: isn't more hurtful, It's hard for me to understand where 1069 01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:16,680 Speaker 1: you come from a humanitarian standpoint. If you were to 1070 01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,760 Speaker 1: become president, or you're putting words in my mouth that 1071 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,360 Speaker 1: I've never said. You did not say that Syrian president 1072 01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,559 Speaker 1: Asad is not the enemy of the United States. Say 1073 01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:29,559 Speaker 1: it now. Clarify the issue here is how can we 1074 01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:32,719 Speaker 1: help alleviate the suffering of people just really one moment, 1075 01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:34,760 Speaker 1: is he an enemy of the United States. The enemy 1076 01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:37,599 Speaker 1: of the United States is someone who threatens our safety 1077 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:41,479 Speaker 1: and our security. There is no disputing the fact that 1078 01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:45,040 Speaker 1: Basha al Asad and Syria is a brutal dictator. Very 1079 01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:49,000 Speaker 1: interesting here, that was Megan McCain and Tulsi Gabbert, and 1080 01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:53,439 Speaker 1: I am sometimes accused of being too favorable to Tulsi 1081 01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:56,840 Speaker 1: for reasons that have nothing to do with politics, and 1082 01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:00,800 Speaker 1: I say these are false reasons. Similar to why Jesse Kelly, 1083 01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:02,880 Speaker 1: my friend who we should probably have on the show 1084 01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:05,960 Speaker 1: producer Mike, to talk about this one. Jesse Kelly is 1085 01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:11,200 Speaker 1: unusually open minded to a Kamela Harris presidency, not because 1086 01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:14,639 Speaker 1: of her politics. He just likes He just likes Kamela. 1087 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:17,080 Speaker 1: And people have said this about me with Tulsi. I've 1088 01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:18,640 Speaker 1: been getting a little heat over at the hillover on 1089 01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,599 Speaker 1: this one, and I reject that notion. I think she's 1090 01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:25,200 Speaker 1: correct here. I think that Tulsi Gabbert, as much as 1091 01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:28,439 Speaker 1: she's a left winger, and I'm sure we disagree on 1092 01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:36,240 Speaker 1: basically everything, her breaking from the orthodoxy on the Assad 1093 01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:40,040 Speaker 1: regime from the left and from the right is kind 1094 01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:45,160 Speaker 1: of refreshing. Yeah, it is Assad terrible. Absolutely, Assad is terrible. 1095 01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:49,600 Speaker 1: Is Assad an enemy of the United States? Well that 1096 01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:52,840 Speaker 1: that is a question that we have to ask with 1097 01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:57,200 Speaker 1: a clarification, and I think her clarification is a necessary one. 1098 01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,320 Speaker 1: An enemy to me is somebody that is a threat 1099 01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:04,000 Speaker 1: to us. Is China an enemy of the United States, 1100 01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,519 Speaker 1: certainly over the long term, is the greatest threat we face. 1101 01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:11,320 Speaker 1: But what we say is China our enemy? We would 1102 01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:14,360 Speaker 1: say that the Islamic State is our enemy. We would 1103 01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:17,000 Speaker 1: say that the Taliban is our enemy, although keep in 1104 01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,080 Speaker 1: mind we are negotiating with them, We are sitting down 1105 01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:22,040 Speaker 1: from them and across from them and trying to get 1106 01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:27,320 Speaker 1: a deal. Is Vladimir Putin our enemy or is he 1107 01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:30,400 Speaker 1: an opposing, opposing figure on the world stage. You know, 1108 01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:33,479 Speaker 1: it's not as simple as just declaring people to be 1109 01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:35,479 Speaker 1: enemies that we are not at war with, that we 1110 01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:39,200 Speaker 1: are not in a conflict with, and that you know, 1111 01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:41,599 Speaker 1: we probably have to work with on certain issues. So 1112 01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,360 Speaker 1: I think that it's overly simplistic. I mean, I know 1113 01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,000 Speaker 1: that some of you're probably gonna disagree with me, but 1114 01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,519 Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is that the Assad regime 1115 01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:52,160 Speaker 1: is what we are going to allow to stay in 1116 01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:57,520 Speaker 1: place as the ruler or as the ruling body of Syria. 1117 01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:00,320 Speaker 1: There is no future that we can think of or 1118 01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:02,840 Speaker 1: that we are pushing for in which there is no 1119 01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:06,160 Speaker 1: Assad regime in Syria, because what's going to take its place? 1120 01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:09,320 Speaker 1: And so if we sit down across from Assad and 1121 01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:11,360 Speaker 1: try to work out some kind of an agreement, are 1122 01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:14,679 Speaker 1: we then complicit in the horrific civil war that's happened there. 1123 01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:18,320 Speaker 1: You know, these are complicated questions, and I think that 1124 01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:23,960 Speaker 1: you know the exchange there where you had you had 1125 01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:27,400 Speaker 1: essentially a redo of the Mika Braginsky trying to nail 1126 01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:30,759 Speaker 1: down Tulsa Gabbert on whether Assad is an enemy. Tulsi 1127 01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:34,120 Speaker 1: Gabbard met with the opposition in Syria, met with the 1128 01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:38,800 Speaker 1: Assad regime, and she said she was there with Dennis Kucinich, 1129 01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:42,880 Speaker 1: and she is now in all kinds of trouble. On 1130 01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:45,320 Speaker 1: the left, they're calling an Assad apologist. I've never heard 1131 01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:48,880 Speaker 1: her apologize for Assad. That's a different thing. You know, 1132 01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,160 Speaker 1: the left and the right in some areas have a 1133 01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:52,880 Speaker 1: little bit of cross over here with we don't want 1134 01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:56,240 Speaker 1: any more regime change wars. We don't need any more 1135 01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:58,719 Speaker 1: of this going in and trying to, you know, change 1136 01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:01,160 Speaker 1: this country or that country and putting US troops in 1137 01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:04,040 Speaker 1: harm's way, sending arm men and women over there, to 1138 01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:08,679 Speaker 1: die to make their country, meaning the foreigners country better. 1139 01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,840 Speaker 1: It's not something we want to do anymore. Maybe it's 1140 01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:15,519 Speaker 1: time to break with some of this foreign policy echo 1141 01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:20,880 Speaker 1: chamber on Syria and elsewhere. Look, this is important stuff. 1142 01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:22,960 Speaker 1: When do you want to spot that burglar when he's 1143 01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:26,160 Speaker 1: casing your home or after he's already gotten in. Well 1144 01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,600 Speaker 1: you could ask John who's Blink camera alerted him to 1145 01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:31,360 Speaker 1: burglars trying to break in while he and his family 1146 01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:34,559 Speaker 1: were home, or Shannon, whose Blink camera caught a thief 1147 01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,640 Speaker 1: stealing packages. Both times, Blink video clips were sent to 1148 01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:41,599 Speaker 1: police to help convict the crooks.

Socialism 1160 01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:27,160 Speaker 1: is not about justice, it's not about equality, it's not 1161 01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:32,439 Speaker 1: about lifting up the poor. Socialism is about one thing only, 1162 01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:40,880 Speaker 1: power for the ruling class. The ruling class. You wouldn't 1163 01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:44,200 Speaker 1: have thought, maybe a few years ago, that a Republican 1164 01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:49,559 Speaker 1: president and in fact much of the Republican intelligentsia, or 1165 01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:53,840 Speaker 1: at least the Trump supporting intelligentsia, would call out the 1166 01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:56,280 Speaker 1: ruling class, and that a guy who is a billionaire 1167 01:13:56,439 --> 01:14:00,680 Speaker 1: and obviously was born essentially one hundred millionaire would have 1168 01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:04,240 Speaker 1: a voice that would resonate with people on this issue 1169 01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:06,639 Speaker 1: might come as a surprise, but when you dig into 1170 01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:11,160 Speaker 1: it more, it actually makes perfect sense. There very much 1171 01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:15,360 Speaker 1: is a ruling class in this country, one that in 1172 01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:18,760 Speaker 1: the era of Trump, just because of the ability to 1173 01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:22,360 Speaker 1: get past political correctness, to get past all of this 1174 01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:29,320 Speaker 1: forced respect for certain institutions, Journalism among journalism very high 1175 01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:31,840 Speaker 1: on the list, perhaps top of the list, and we're 1176 01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:34,880 Speaker 1: able to really evaluate who these people are that think 1177 01:14:34,920 --> 01:14:40,680 Speaker 1: that they should be in charge in charge of media newsrooms, 1178 01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:46,519 Speaker 1: the arts, the federal bureaucracy, the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, 1179 01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:49,599 Speaker 1: the universities. You go down the line and you say, 1180 01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:54,160 Speaker 1: why do we have to revere these people? Should we 1181 01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:58,599 Speaker 1: revere these people? The answer is we shouldn't, and we don't, 1182 01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:01,760 Speaker 1: or we shouldn't have to, we don't have to. And 1183 01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:05,880 Speaker 1: that's relatively new. And I do think that there's a 1184 01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:10,240 Speaker 1: whole democratization of information component of this, essentially because we 1185 01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:13,840 Speaker 1: see these people acting like idiots on social media, because 1186 01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:17,320 Speaker 1: I can point to tweets from John Brennan, who was 1187 01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:21,040 Speaker 1: the CIA director, that showed that he's an imbecile without 1188 01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:25,519 Speaker 1: any judgment, without any credibility, especially when it comes to 1189 01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:30,680 Speaker 1: issues of politics that deal with the Trump administration. I 1190 01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:32,600 Speaker 1: don't have to be told whether or not this is 1191 01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:34,240 Speaker 1: a guy that I should listen to a trust. I 1192 01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:37,120 Speaker 1: can see for myself that he's not somebody I should trust. 1193 01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:40,519 Speaker 1: He's a clown. And Victor Davis Hanson, who's one of 1194 01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:47,520 Speaker 1: my favorite, one of my favorite current living American columnists. 1195 01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,679 Speaker 1: I mean, he's definitely at the very top of the list. 1196 01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:54,559 Speaker 1: He's top ten for sure, maybe even top five. Victor 1197 01:15:54,640 --> 01:16:01,080 Speaker 1: Davis Hansen is spot on with what we've seen, not 1198 01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:03,920 Speaker 1: just because of Trump's willingness to take it to the 1199 01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:07,080 Speaker 1: ruling class in this country, but more specifically, what we've 1200 01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:09,719 Speaker 1: seen from the ruling class in the government, the fourth 1201 01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:14,120 Speaker 1: branch of government, that is the bureaucracy. And I think 1202 01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:16,400 Speaker 1: that it's never it's never going to be the same, 1203 01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:18,960 Speaker 1: which is a good thing. The truth has come out 1204 01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:22,280 Speaker 1: in ways now that are unavoidable, and it's caused a panic, 1205 01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:25,799 Speaker 1: a panic that has manifested itself in all these different 1206 01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:28,880 Speaker 1: people Struck and MacCabe and Coomy and you know, all 1207 01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:33,160 Speaker 1: the rest of them who hide behind this shield of oh, 1208 01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:39,640 Speaker 1: you're disrespecting our institutions, and no, we're questioning our institutions. 1209 01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:42,200 Speaker 1: And when we question some of these institutions, we find 1210 01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:47,519 Speaker 1: ourselves getting answers that are not reassuring, that do not 1211 01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:51,479 Speaker 1: make us feel better about the situation. And that just 1212 01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:54,280 Speaker 1: means that we should dig more, that we should ask 1213 01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:57,599 Speaker 1: more questions. And also I think do quite a bit 1214 01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:05,080 Speaker 1: of as a nation reevaluating the value of some of 1215 01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:08,600 Speaker 1: these institutions and how they are constructed and who's in 1216 01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:11,559 Speaker 1: charge and what they're doing. Here. Here's VDH the man 1217 01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:14,680 Speaker 1: himself on this issue. Play nine. What really gets us 1218 01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:18,520 Speaker 1: upset us being the American people. We have these sanctimonious 1219 01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:22,839 Speaker 1: boy scout, self righteous James Clapper, John Brennan, James Comby, 1220 01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:27,120 Speaker 1: Peter Struck, Andrew McCabe, and they feel that somehow they've 1221 01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:30,559 Speaker 1: got a rationale or prerogative to be divinities, and they 1222 01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:32,960 Speaker 1: can tell people when a president should go and when 1223 01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,400 Speaker 1: he should come, and what a court needs to know 1224 01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:39,599 Speaker 1: what he doesn't, when they can lead confidential information, when 1225 01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:42,920 Speaker 1: they can two hundred and forty five times under oath 1226 01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,720 Speaker 1: a house intelligence to me, they don't know, and we 1227 01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:49,200 Speaker 1: can't do that us the people. But they've created a 1228 01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:53,320 Speaker 1: hierarchy or some type of cadre in Washington. They're like 1229 01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:57,840 Speaker 1: a praetorian guard where they're not subject to the limitations 1230 01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:01,680 Speaker 1: that we all enjoy as institutional limitations on what you 1231 01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:08,720 Speaker 1: can do. He's absolutely right. You have seen with Clapper, Brannan, Comey, Struck, McCabe, 1232 01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:13,559 Speaker 1: Sally Yates, this whole crew at the very top of 1233 01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:15,479 Speaker 1: the government hierarchy. And keep in mind, not only do 1234 01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:18,160 Speaker 1: they have a lot of government power and the power 1235 01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:21,120 Speaker 1: to ruin people, the power to play in politics in 1236 01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:23,600 Speaker 1: a way that they're not supposed to, but is incredibly 1237 01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:27,200 Speaker 1: effective if they're willing to. They also will all take 1238 01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:30,479 Speaker 1: jobs in the private sector at their leisure, where they 1239 01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:35,040 Speaker 1: will make millions of dollars most likely. So they are 1240 01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:38,360 Speaker 1: elites in every sense, but they pose as protectors of 1241 01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:42,520 Speaker 1: the people. They pose as individuals who care not for themselves, 1242 01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:44,680 Speaker 1: but care only about you and me. And what we 1243 01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:51,280 Speaker 1: have seen from this praetorian class is that they're liars, 1244 01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:56,080 Speaker 1: that they're self interested, that they're self motivated, and we 1245 01:18:56,120 --> 01:19:00,559 Speaker 1: would be foolish to ignore this. It's all so important 1246 01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:04,160 Speaker 1: to note that they are living under a different set 1247 01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:07,760 Speaker 1: of rules in their own minds, and this is problematic 1248 01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:10,640 Speaker 1: for a whole bunch of reasons. One of them is 1249 01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:14,080 Speaker 1: that if they can get away with things that you 1250 01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:17,880 Speaker 1: and I can't, how will we ever be able to 1251 01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:22,120 Speaker 1: reform the institutions of our government that go after citizens 1252 01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:25,120 Speaker 1: if the people that are making those decisions don't have 1253 01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:29,519 Speaker 1: to live by those laws themselves. Remember, one of my 1254 01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:33,759 Speaker 1: favorite maxims here on the show is that a true 1255 01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:39,120 Speaker 1: tyranny is not the equal application of draconian laws. It 1256 01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:45,240 Speaker 1: is the capricious application of laws based on political connections 1257 01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:47,680 Speaker 1: and favor and the whims of the mob or the 1258 01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:52,000 Speaker 1: whims of the powerful. It is that McCabe can lie 1259 01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:58,000 Speaker 1: under oath and somehow not face criminal charges. But George 1260 01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:01,479 Speaker 1: Papadopolis can lie about a non crime to the Special Council, 1261 01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:06,120 Speaker 1: and he faced his prison time. That General Flynn could 1262 01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:09,640 Speaker 1: lie or perhaps misremember a conversation that he had with 1263 01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:13,880 Speaker 1: that was relayed to FBI agents, and then faced the 1264 01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:17,640 Speaker 1: ruination of his career, the destruction of his reputation, a 1265 01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:20,800 Speaker 1: reputation that involved thirty years of service in the military. 1266 01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:24,200 Speaker 1: So when people say, well, McCabe should get the benefit 1267 01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:26,720 Speaker 1: of the doubt, I say, hold on a second. I'm 1268 01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:30,800 Speaker 1: somebody that's all for the benefit of the doubt when warranted. 1269 01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:35,200 Speaker 1: But I need someone to tell me why Andy McCabe, 1270 01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:37,840 Speaker 1: fired from the FBI for being a liar, should be 1271 01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:41,040 Speaker 1: given that benefit because of his service in the government, 1272 01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:43,519 Speaker 1: especially given all the other stuff we've learned about him 1273 01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:46,240 Speaker 1: recently that he thought that a coup against the president 1274 01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:50,599 Speaker 1: against President Trump was an acceptable idea. But then why 1275 01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:55,000 Speaker 1: didn't General Flynn get that benefit after his thirty some 1276 01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:59,160 Speaker 1: odd years of government service. I want someone to answer 1277 01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:03,320 Speaker 1: that question for me. So the elites right now are 1278 01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:06,320 Speaker 1: unsettled and they're not used to that. They don't like 1279 01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:10,000 Speaker 1: the truth coming out, and they're trying to prevent it. 1280 01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:13,560 Speaker 1: And it is incumbent upon all of us to continue 1281 01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:16,759 Speaker 1: to just look at what is reality here, what's really happening, 1282 01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:19,400 Speaker 1: and who these people are. Should they be in charge, 1283 01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:21,720 Speaker 1: do they deserve to be in charge? Do we trust them? 1284 01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:25,240 Speaker 1: Should they have this power? We should keep asking those questions. 1285 01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:32,920 Speaker 1: Here's a story that you would think would get a 1286 01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:38,360 Speaker 1: lot of media attention, but sure enough, there is something 1287 01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:43,200 Speaker 1: of a muted reaction to it. President Trump, the Trump 1288 01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:48,200 Speaker 1: administration has decided that they will launch a campaign, a 1289 01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:56,479 Speaker 1: global campaign to end the criminalization of homosexuality. Now, at 1290 01:21:56,600 --> 01:22:00,960 Speaker 1: first glance, this should be one of those rare moments 1291 01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:06,559 Speaker 1: in contemporary American politics where all sides and both sides 1292 01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:10,400 Speaker 1: are cheering, you know, yelling huzzah, saying this is fantastic. 1293 01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:16,840 Speaker 1: This is as straightforward a campaign of goodness and decency 1294 01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:19,680 Speaker 1: as that he could find anywhere. You put aside for 1295 01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:23,759 Speaker 1: a moment any feelings you may have about same sex 1296 01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:29,120 Speaker 1: or gay marriage, and just understand, this is about decriminalizing homosexuality. 1297 01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:33,240 Speaker 1: So this is you know, countries that exist that are 1298 01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:36,560 Speaker 1: out there where you can still be punished, even executed 1299 01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:43,760 Speaker 1: for homosexual acts. That's barbaric and that's wrong. And the 1300 01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:47,080 Speaker 1: Trump administration is trying to lead the way on this, 1301 01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:50,360 Speaker 1: and in the campaign is supposed to be led by 1302 01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:54,360 Speaker 1: the US Ambassador to Germany, Richard Grinnell. I know Richard 1303 01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:57,559 Speaker 1: a bit from from working with him at Fox. And 1304 01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:00,439 Speaker 1: they're they're kicking this event off, or rather kicking off 1305 01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:04,960 Speaker 1: this campaign in Berlin. And you would think that perhaps 1306 01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:10,800 Speaker 1: the LGBT community would rally behind the Trump administration on this. 1307 01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:15,920 Speaker 1: What could be more obviously on the side of the 1308 01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:21,400 Speaker 1: LGBT community than a global campaign to end the criminalization 1309 01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:26,280 Speaker 1: of homosexuality. Now, did you even hear about this in 1310 01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:29,240 Speaker 1: the press? Would I would first put that out there. 1311 01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:33,400 Speaker 1: Have you seen, given the media's interests usually in any 1312 01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:38,559 Speaker 1: LGBT stories, have you seen this covered? Have you seen 1313 01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:43,120 Speaker 1: it heard it talked about? I'm guessing a large percentage 1314 01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:44,640 Speaker 1: of you, even though you who spent a lot of 1315 01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:48,960 Speaker 1: time reading the newspaper or online watching the news, haven't 1316 01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:52,560 Speaker 1: seen or heard anything about this. And it's because one, 1317 01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:58,400 Speaker 1: as we know, the press is desire to harm Trump 1318 01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:02,160 Speaker 1: or to under mind or even downplay any of his 1319 01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:08,360 Speaker 1: successes outweighs their desire to let the Trump administration or 1320 01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:12,280 Speaker 1: support the Trump administration do good things that people will 1321 01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:16,759 Speaker 1: know about. Right So, for most of the media, Trump 1322 01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:23,559 Speaker 1: and the administration's efforts to decriminalize homosexuality and countries around 1323 01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:27,519 Speaker 1: the world, which should have a tremendous effect of liberty 1324 01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:32,880 Speaker 1: and personal freedom on LGBT communities around the world, that 1325 01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:37,479 Speaker 1: desire is less important to the press than to make 1326 01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:39,880 Speaker 1: sure that people don't realize that Trump is, in many 1327 01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:45,160 Speaker 1: ways the most LGBT friendly president of all time. In fact, 1328 01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:49,920 Speaker 1: Trump is the only president in history who stood on 1329 01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:54,240 Speaker 1: stage during his campaign held up a gay Pride flag 1330 01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:59,639 Speaker 1: and ran as somebody who was openly in favor of 1331 01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:04,080 Speaker 1: same sex marriage. You know, he was fine with gay marriage. 1332 01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:07,280 Speaker 1: In favor of gay marriage. Obama was not for everybody 1333 01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:09,200 Speaker 1: who likes to say, we'll look at with the Obama aministration. 1334 01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:14,280 Speaker 1: Obama was pro traditional marriage largely I think as a 1335 01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:18,720 Speaker 1: as a political ploy to get black churches to support him, 1336 01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,080 Speaker 1: especially black churches in the South, to support him in 1337 01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:24,240 Speaker 1: his bid for the presidency, and then once he had 1338 01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:27,400 Speaker 1: secured enough support from for his second term, he was 1339 01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:29,680 Speaker 1: willing to say, Okay, well now we'll move on this. 1340 01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:33,880 Speaker 1: But back to this campaign. Not only is the press 1341 01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:37,160 Speaker 1: a little muted in its enthusiasm about this, which I 1342 01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:42,439 Speaker 1: don't think is surprising to anybody, there's also an effort 1343 01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:45,599 Speaker 1: from the left, in fact, an effort from within the 1344 01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:50,679 Speaker 1: LGBT community to say that we should that this should 1345 01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:54,360 Speaker 1: not be celebrated as at all. This is a piece 1346 01:25:54,600 --> 01:26:03,080 Speaker 1: inout dot com, which is say focused publication from what 1347 01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:08,720 Speaker 1: I understand, and out dot com has this piece up. 1348 01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:15,240 Speaker 1: Trump's plan to decriminalize homosexuality is an old racist tactic. 1349 01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:18,360 Speaker 1: Let me just read that headline to you again. This 1350 01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:23,599 Speaker 1: is in a left wing gay online publication and the 1351 01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:28,599 Speaker 1: title is Trump's plan to decriminalize homosexuality is an old 1352 01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:35,000 Speaker 1: racist tactic. Wow, let's unpack this for a moment, shall we. 1353 01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:40,400 Speaker 1: The left, which views itself as on the vanguard always 1354 01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:43,760 Speaker 1: of LGBT and gay rights and transgender rights and all 1355 01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:49,479 Speaker 1: these different communities and subcommunities within the movement, they all 1356 01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:53,519 Speaker 1: of a sudden have a problem with the President trying 1357 01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:56,760 Speaker 1: to do something that any sane, reasonable person would say 1358 01:26:56,960 --> 01:27:00,639 Speaker 1: is good for the LGBT community. And here's why what 1359 01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:06,320 Speaker 1: are the most anti gay portions of the globe. Where 1360 01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:13,000 Speaker 1: is homosexuality illegal? Well, it's in Africa, the Middle East, 1361 01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:17,799 Speaker 1: and the Caribbean. Okay that if you're looking for areas 1362 01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:19,720 Speaker 1: of the globe where you're going to have a particular 1363 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:23,519 Speaker 1: focus on this, that's where you're going to find yourself. 1364 01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:27,120 Speaker 1: That's where the issue is going to be. So now 1365 01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:30,880 Speaker 1: you have Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East, which 1366 01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:35,200 Speaker 1: are areas that are predominantly, not entirely, but predominantly non white, 1367 01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:38,920 Speaker 1: are going to come under scrutiny here as part of 1368 01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:42,080 Speaker 1: this campaign. And what you're going to see on the 1369 01:27:42,160 --> 01:27:46,799 Speaker 1: left is also an aversion to this because the Muslim world, 1370 01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:50,679 Speaker 1: which is predominantly non white, not entirely, but predominantly non white, 1371 01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:55,599 Speaker 1: the Muslim world is the most anti gay portion of 1372 01:27:55,640 --> 01:28:00,920 Speaker 1: the world. Okay, there's more antique, and Iran specifically is 1373 01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:07,439 Speaker 1: a viciously anti gay country. The Iranian government's policies towards 1374 01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:12,000 Speaker 1: homosexuals is that they can put them to death. So 1375 01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:15,120 Speaker 1: this is where the left starts to run into the 1376 01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:19,880 Speaker 1: usual incoherence. They're pro LGBT rights as long as it 1377 01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:25,680 Speaker 1: allows them to bash Christian conservatives in America they are 1378 01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:27,439 Speaker 1: then they're all about it, and they want to talk 1379 01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:30,200 Speaker 1: about transgender rights and transgenderism all the rest of it. 1380 01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:34,120 Speaker 1: But the moment that you look at what's going on 1381 01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:36,120 Speaker 1: with the LGBT community and the rest of the world, 1382 01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:44,600 Speaker 1: all these other left wing constructs come into play, like colonialism, racism, 1383 01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:50,000 Speaker 1: anti anti Islam or Islamophobia, all of that is more 1384 01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:53,679 Speaker 1: important to the left than basic human rights and basic 1385 01:28:53,760 --> 01:28:57,960 Speaker 1: decency toward the gay community. And I just think that 1386 01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:01,640 Speaker 1: this should get a whole lot more attention because what 1387 01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:05,400 Speaker 1: you're seeing here is that the left does view all 1388 01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:07,840 Speaker 1: of its issues as part of this hierarchy. There are 1389 01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:14,200 Speaker 1: no fundamental principles. Because if if treating people from the 1390 01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:18,120 Speaker 1: gay community, from the LGBT community as as human beings 1391 01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:22,240 Speaker 1: with basic decency is not more important to the left 1392 01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:26,960 Speaker 1: than trying to protect the sensibilities of the Muslim world, 1393 01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:30,760 Speaker 1: the Middle East, the Caribbean portions of the globe that 1394 01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:35,640 Speaker 1: are majority non white, then what are their fundamental principles? 1395 01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:39,800 Speaker 1: You know, what do they really espouse If you're not 1396 01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:43,519 Speaker 1: able to join hands with this president on a movement 1397 01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:49,120 Speaker 1: to push for the removal of laws that stigmatize and 1398 01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:55,160 Speaker 1: even murder gay people around the world because there are regressive, 1399 01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:57,760 Speaker 1: backwards countries. I mean, let's just start to say, what's 1400 01:29:57,800 --> 01:30:00,439 Speaker 1: who are they going on here? I'm sorry, sorry, that 1401 01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:04,439 Speaker 1: Islam is, as was said by Sam Harris, correctly, the 1402 01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:09,640 Speaker 1: mother load of bad ideas from a liberals perspective on 1403 01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:13,920 Speaker 1: a global scale. But it is, unfortunately a fact. That 1404 01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:17,120 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that all Muslims feel that way. Obviously, it 1405 01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:19,639 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that, you know, everybody from within the Islamic 1406 01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:23,040 Speaker 1: faith is guilty of believing these things or but if 1407 01:30:23,080 --> 01:30:27,760 Speaker 1: you're looking for one faith tradition that is particularly regressive 1408 01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:31,559 Speaker 1: when it comes to the LGBT community, among other things, 1409 01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:34,920 Speaker 1: it's Islam. So the Middle East is going to be 1410 01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:38,439 Speaker 1: a problem if you're trying to get rid of laws 1411 01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:42,080 Speaker 1: that criminalize homosexuality. This is just a fact. Also, portions 1412 01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:45,479 Speaker 1: of Africa are going to be a problem. You know, 1413 01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:48,120 Speaker 1: there are some parts of the world where there are 1414 01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:53,840 Speaker 1: cultures that are more regressive and backwards than what we 1415 01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:55,840 Speaker 1: have here in the West or in a lot of 1416 01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:58,360 Speaker 1: other places around the world, not just the West. This 1417 01:30:58,479 --> 01:31:03,080 Speaker 1: is a fact. This is objective truth. So the left 1418 01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:08,519 Speaker 1: can you know, cry and wail and criticize as much 1419 01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:11,680 Speaker 1: as they want, what the Trump administration is doing is 1420 01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:15,800 Speaker 1: a good thing. It is a kind thing, And if 1421 01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:18,400 Speaker 1: they were being principled on the left, they would understand 1422 01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:23,479 Speaker 1: that Trump pushing for the decriminalization globally of homosexuality is 1423 01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:27,120 Speaker 1: only a good thing for the LGBT community and there 1424 01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:33,880 Speaker 1: should not be any excuses made to undermine this movement. Team. 1425 01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:35,840 Speaker 1: I know we're talking a moment ago about Trump's campaign 1426 01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:42,320 Speaker 1: to decriminalize homosexuality around the world and to encourage countries 1427 01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:46,840 Speaker 1: to have LGBT protections as a matter of law, and 1428 01:31:46,880 --> 01:31:51,759 Speaker 1: certainly to end discriminatory and vicious practices against the LGBT community. 1429 01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:57,400 Speaker 1: But transgenderism, the T in LGBT transgenderism is still very 1430 01:31:57,520 --> 01:32:02,560 Speaker 1: much at the forefront, at the vanguard of left wing activism. 1431 01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:04,680 Speaker 1: And I would just share with you, you know, I 1432 01:32:04,760 --> 01:32:11,040 Speaker 1: had a an exchange today publicly that I'm I just 1433 01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:14,639 Speaker 1: wanted to share because it was one of these moments 1434 01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:18,360 Speaker 1: where I was at at kind of cross purposes. I 1435 01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:24,120 Speaker 1: have never heard of India More before, but India More 1436 01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:31,240 Speaker 1: is a a transgender actor um and and has you know, 1437 01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:35,280 Speaker 1: a pretty substantial online following, and India More tweeted out, So, 1438 01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:37,360 Speaker 1: Indian Moore was born a man and has become a 1439 01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:43,400 Speaker 1: now under transgender logic, has become a woman. And uh 1440 01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:49,160 Speaker 1: and and he tweeted out or she tweeted, well, it's 1441 01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:51,160 Speaker 1: a he. But you know, I'm trying to be I'm 1442 01:32:51,160 --> 01:32:53,640 Speaker 1: trying to be considerate, right, But the Indian more is 1443 01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:56,719 Speaker 1: a man, that's an Indian war is a man. We 1444 01:32:56,840 --> 01:32:58,840 Speaker 1: can go back and forth on this as much as 1445 01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:02,880 Speaker 1: the Left wants to, but you know, objective reality is 1446 01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:05,920 Speaker 1: just that. But I also want to be polite to somebody. 1447 01:33:05,920 --> 01:33:07,920 Speaker 1: And if somebody really wants a pronoun to be a 1448 01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:12,080 Speaker 1: certain way, do I bend out of deference and politeness. 1449 01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:14,480 Speaker 1: I mean, one of the knocks on me in this business, unfortunately, 1450 01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:17,360 Speaker 1: is that I am actually too polite, probably which I'm 1451 01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:19,599 Speaker 1: getting less polite as I get older, because some people 1452 01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:24,320 Speaker 1: need to tune up publicly sometimes. But anyway, back to 1453 01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:29,040 Speaker 1: India More. This individual tweeted out, if this is a quote, 1454 01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:32,800 Speaker 1: if a woman has a penis, her penis is a 1455 01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:38,080 Speaker 1: biological female penis. And I just have to note that 1456 01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:44,799 Speaker 1: this is the definition of false. This is as false 1457 01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:49,960 Speaker 1: as false gets right. Female anatomy is female anatomy. Male 1458 01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:53,679 Speaker 1: anatomy is male anatomy. There is no such thing as 1459 01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:57,719 Speaker 1: one of them becoming the other. But what I see 1460 01:33:57,800 --> 01:34:05,680 Speaker 1: here is a race of falsehood and the demand that 1461 01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:08,200 Speaker 1: we all embrace falsehood as well. Now, I responded to this, 1462 01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:14,280 Speaker 1: I have questions, and then miss Moore or mister Moore, 1463 01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:16,559 Speaker 1: whichever one we're going to, I would also know that 1464 01:34:16,600 --> 01:34:20,640 Speaker 1: I could get banned from Twitter for misgendering and misgendering 1465 01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:23,200 Speaker 1: some people want to be some people in the Western world, 1466 01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:25,400 Speaker 1: I think in Canada now and among other places, they 1467 01:34:25,439 --> 01:34:27,800 Speaker 1: want it to be a crime. So now they want 1468 01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:31,799 Speaker 1: to bring the force of law to make me lie 1469 01:34:32,120 --> 01:34:37,000 Speaker 1: about somebody else in order to protect their feelings. That's 1470 01:34:37,040 --> 01:34:40,960 Speaker 1: where we have headed as a society. But India, Moore 1471 01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:43,479 Speaker 1: responded to me, if you have questions, essentially, you know, 1472 01:34:43,520 --> 01:34:46,439 Speaker 1: I'm happy to answer them. And here's the thing. I 1473 01:34:46,520 --> 01:34:51,120 Speaker 1: don't have questions. A woman cannot have a a penis 1474 01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:56,240 Speaker 1: and a man cannot have a woman's anatomy. I don't 1475 01:34:56,280 --> 01:34:58,800 Speaker 1: have questions. I have questions about why we're supposed to 1476 01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:02,400 Speaker 1: pretend that we don't know we know. That's my question. 1477 01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:05,839 Speaker 1: That's really where the discussion is I refuse to embrace 1478 01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:10,880 Speaker 1: the unreality of the transgender movement. And I mean, just 1479 01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:13,800 Speaker 1: to give you an idea of where this is going now, 1480 01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:20,519 Speaker 1: you had an LGBT organization announced that it was severing ties. 1481 01:35:20,640 --> 01:35:24,880 Speaker 1: This was just yesterday with Martina Navratolova because she made 1482 01:35:25,160 --> 01:35:31,559 Speaker 1: comments about transgender athletes. This group, athlete Ally, which is 1483 01:35:31,600 --> 01:35:35,479 Speaker 1: a nonprofit to quote end rampant homophobia and transphobia in 1484 01:35:35,560 --> 01:35:38,920 Speaker 1: sport and to activate the athletic community to exercise their 1485 01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:43,160 Speaker 1: leadership to champion LGBTQ equality, said that they're no longer 1486 01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:46,160 Speaker 1: working with Martina Navratlova, who's one of the most famous 1487 01:35:47,040 --> 01:35:51,800 Speaker 1: same sex athletes of all time. Right, you know, same 1488 01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:56,680 Speaker 1: sex you know, gay athletes of all time, the same 1489 01:35:56,720 --> 01:36:00,400 Speaker 1: sex attractive, is what I meant to say. She she's 1490 01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:03,000 Speaker 1: now kicked off the island, so to speak. She is 1491 01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:05,400 Speaker 1: now no longer welcome in the group, no longer welcome 1492 01:36:05,479 --> 01:36:09,920 Speaker 1: is part of the team here because she said that 1493 01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:13,960 Speaker 1: it is cheating to allow transgender women to compete in 1494 01:36:13,960 --> 01:36:18,240 Speaker 1: women's sporting events because of their physical advantages. She wrote, quote, 1495 01:36:18,280 --> 01:36:21,439 Speaker 1: a man can decide to be female, take hormones if 1496 01:36:21,439 --> 01:36:25,160 Speaker 1: required by whatever sporting organization. Is concerned win everything in 1497 01:36:25,240 --> 01:36:28,559 Speaker 1: sight and perhaps earn a small fortune and then reverse 1498 01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:31,600 Speaker 1: his oh, she said, his decision and go back to 1499 01:36:31,640 --> 01:36:35,439 Speaker 1: making babies if he so desires. It's insane and it's cheating. 1500 01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:39,080 Speaker 1: I would not be happy to compete against her. It 1501 01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:41,880 Speaker 1: would not be fair. Mount n Avutoloova said, it's a 1502 01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:44,160 Speaker 1: world champion tennis player and she's gay, and she's not 1503 01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:47,160 Speaker 1: allowed to say this, folks. She's speaking the truth, all right. 1504 01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:50,920 Speaker 1: Biology is real and biology wins on this one. Biology 1505 01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:54,679 Speaker 1: is fact. If I had been competing against women in college, 1506 01:36:54,680 --> 01:36:56,800 Speaker 1: I would have been a three sport All American. That's 1507 01:36:56,800 --> 01:36:59,680 Speaker 1: just a fact. And I was barely able to be 1508 01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:04,040 Speaker 1: on the crew team. So this is ridiculous, all right, ridiculous. 1509 01:37:05,360 --> 01:37:09,519 Speaker 1: I will not I will not be a part of this, 1510 01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:14,760 Speaker 1: of this movement to embrace falsehood. You know, I want 1511 01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:16,400 Speaker 1: to be polite to people. I want to be decent. 1512 01:37:16,439 --> 01:37:18,640 Speaker 1: I want to treat people with respect always, right, it 1513 01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:21,719 Speaker 1: is an obligation on all of us. But I'm also 1514 01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:25,439 Speaker 1: not going to be forced to lie. And that's where 1515 01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:28,519 Speaker 1: we are heading with this transgender movement. Not even a 1516 01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:31,200 Speaker 1: choice anymore. We're going to be forced to lie and 1517 01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:33,839 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to make some very tough choices going forward. 1518 01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:47,040 Speaker 1: The show ain't over yet, folks. It's time for roll call. Indeed, 1519 01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:51,600 Speaker 1: it is a snowy roll call today, DC gets a 1520 01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:54,960 Speaker 1: light dusting of powder and thinks that some kind of 1521 01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:57,920 Speaker 1: snow apocalypse has descended on it. You think that our 1522 01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:01,599 Speaker 1: nation's capital would be a little more able to handle 1523 01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:04,840 Speaker 1: some inclement weather. But if you thought that, you would 1524 01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:10,799 Speaker 1: be wrong. Unfortunately, DC is very much in the midst 1525 01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:13,400 Speaker 1: of the usual oh my gosh, a half inch of 1526 01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:18,280 Speaker 1: snow panic. But I'm here, safe and warm in the 1527 01:38:18,360 --> 01:38:23,160 Speaker 1: Freedom Hut, where love of freedom keeps us safe and warm. 1528 01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:26,960 Speaker 1: Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton if you want your 1529 01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:31,880 Speaker 1: thoughts to be included in lar roll call, so by 1530 01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:37,439 Speaker 1: all means let me know what you think by going 1531 01:38:37,439 --> 01:38:40,680 Speaker 1: to roll call, and also by letting me load the 1532 01:38:40,720 --> 01:38:43,160 Speaker 1: Facebook page that I do live on air here and 1533 01:38:43,200 --> 01:38:49,599 Speaker 1: it always takes a second. Sorry technology, Sean rights, Hello Buck, 1534 01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:53,240 Speaker 1: we should just start calling the fake news narrators and 1535 01:38:53,360 --> 01:38:59,559 Speaker 1: not journalists. Journalists report facts while narrators tell stories, shieldsaye fan, 1536 01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:02,760 Speaker 1: since the real news days Well, Sean, thank you so 1537 01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:06,240 Speaker 1: much for being old school squad good to have you 1538 01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:09,679 Speaker 1: in the mix here, and thank you so much for 1539 01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:12,679 Speaker 1: writing to me. I appreciate it, my friend, and yes, 1540 01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:15,719 Speaker 1: I agree with you. The journalists need to do more 1541 01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:18,720 Speaker 1: in the fact side of things and less in the 1542 01:39:18,840 --> 01:39:25,400 Speaker 1: opinionating while pretending to give facts. Adam writes, in relation 1543 01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:28,320 Speaker 1: to you switching eye dominance, mister Cage has the perfect 1544 01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:32,639 Speaker 1: solution for you in the movie Firebirds Shields High Well, Adam, 1545 01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:37,360 Speaker 1: I don't. I have not seen Firebirds, so I will 1546 01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:42,320 Speaker 1: have to take your word for it. Lucinda, Oh, loosen 1547 01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:45,599 Speaker 1: to back in action here. Ha, I've seen killer clowns 1548 01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:48,439 Speaker 1: from outer space. I definitely would not compare it to 1549 01:39:48,479 --> 01:39:52,080 Speaker 1: the Witch. However, because I watch killer clowns, I thoroughly 1550 01:39:52,160 --> 01:39:56,680 Speaker 1: check any toilet I use for aliens. Shields high Well, 1551 01:39:56,720 --> 01:39:59,680 Speaker 1: lucin to that sounds truly horrifying, and I'm not going 1552 01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:05,880 Speaker 1: to had killer clowns from outer space into my viewing Q. 1553 01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:09,920 Speaker 1: So yeah, I will tell you that The Witch. I 1554 01:40:09,920 --> 01:40:12,160 Speaker 1: shouldn't have watched it. You know, Miss Molly was making 1555 01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:13,639 Speaker 1: fun of me a little bit. I shouldn't have watched 1556 01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:16,720 Speaker 1: it because it really kind of freaked me out, and 1557 01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:18,840 Speaker 1: you know, I maybe even had some nightmares about it. 1558 01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:21,880 Speaker 1: It's really creepy. I think it's the creepiest movie I've seen, 1559 01:40:23,040 --> 01:40:25,519 Speaker 1: probably since The Exorcist, which I saw for the first 1560 01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:29,960 Speaker 1: time maybe fifteen years ago. Rachel, right Shield tay Buck. 1561 01:40:30,040 --> 01:40:33,240 Speaker 1: My husband is the main breadwinner, giving me the privilege 1562 01:40:33,280 --> 01:40:35,000 Speaker 1: to stay at home with our kids and raising them 1563 01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:38,080 Speaker 1: the right way according to the Bible. Your excellent, thoughtful 1564 01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:40,160 Speaker 1: analysis helps keep me saying during my day with the 1565 01:40:40,160 --> 01:40:43,040 Speaker 1: little ones. So thank you. But I wouldn't have heard 1566 01:40:43,040 --> 01:40:45,800 Speaker 1: about you if my husband Jesse hadn't told me about you. 1567 01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:49,000 Speaker 1: And it's his birthday tomorrow, he will listen to your 1568 01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:50,960 Speaker 1: show via podcast or I was wondering if you could 1569 01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:53,760 Speaker 1: give him a birthday shout out. Thanks again for all 1570 01:40:53,800 --> 01:40:56,840 Speaker 1: the hard work you do have a fantastic show every time, 1571 01:40:56,960 --> 01:41:00,880 Speaker 1: Rachel from Callie Well, Rachel, of course, first of all, 1572 01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:04,799 Speaker 1: thank you so much for listening, and a big birthday 1573 01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:08,600 Speaker 1: shout out to our main man, Jesse, who is obviously 1574 01:41:08,640 --> 01:41:13,200 Speaker 1: an original Squad aficionado, for spreading the news of the show, 1575 01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:16,880 Speaker 1: telling people starts spreading the news. Thank you Jesse for 1576 01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:20,280 Speaker 1: doing that and really really appreciate it, my man. Happy 1577 01:41:20,320 --> 01:41:23,320 Speaker 1: birthday to you and yours and your absolutely beautiful family, 1578 01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:29,639 Speaker 1: which I can see here in Rachel's profile photo. John writes, 1579 01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:33,920 Speaker 1: I'm sorry to bother you, Buck. I Heart Radio doesn't 1580 01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:38,799 Speaker 1: have the February nineteenth show on your listing. Ah, John, 1581 01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:42,040 Speaker 1: very frustrating, man. We will look into this. I'm very 1582 01:41:42,439 --> 01:41:45,280 Speaker 1: that trusts me and annoys me more than anybody when 1583 01:41:45,320 --> 01:41:46,880 Speaker 1: I put all the work in to do this show, 1584 01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:48,439 Speaker 1: to try to make the best show I can and 1585 01:41:48,479 --> 01:41:50,439 Speaker 1: we don't have it up. So we will look into 1586 01:41:50,520 --> 01:41:57,519 Speaker 1: that one right away. Ethan, Right, don't listen to Robert Buck. 1587 01:41:57,600 --> 01:42:02,200 Speaker 1: The analogy's rock keep bringing well. Ethan. Thanks man, I'm 1588 01:42:02,240 --> 01:42:05,960 Speaker 1: glad to hear that at least some folks like the analogies, 1589 01:42:06,240 --> 01:42:08,519 Speaker 1: and maybe we'll get a happy medium where I'll only 1590 01:42:08,560 --> 01:42:12,600 Speaker 1: use them when they're really, really good and really really necessary. 1591 01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:15,800 Speaker 1: You know, That's one thing about taking feedback from my 1592 01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:21,879 Speaker 1: respected and beloved audience is sometimes people disagree very strongly 1593 01:42:21,920 --> 01:42:23,559 Speaker 1: on what they like and don't like in the show. 1594 01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:26,720 Speaker 1: One example of that is the History Show. Not the 1595 01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:30,200 Speaker 1: history shows, but history segments within the show. I would 1596 01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:33,200 Speaker 1: get three or four people writing in at a time 1597 01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:36,200 Speaker 1: saying I love that segment you did on just that 1598 01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:39,040 Speaker 1: that history deep dive. That was maybe a couple of 1599 01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:42,040 Speaker 1: segments fifteen or twenty minutes or so, and I would 1600 01:42:42,080 --> 01:42:44,160 Speaker 1: have somebody who's like, don't ever do that again. I 1601 01:42:44,240 --> 01:42:46,000 Speaker 1: come to you for daily news. I come to you 1602 01:42:46,040 --> 01:42:48,360 Speaker 1: for analysis of politics and what's going on in the world, 1603 01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:50,800 Speaker 1: not for what happened in the world a thousand years ago. 1604 01:42:51,439 --> 01:42:53,120 Speaker 1: So it's tough, you know, you got to try to 1605 01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:57,200 Speaker 1: gauge what the best usage of the time that we 1606 01:42:57,280 --> 01:43:01,000 Speaker 1: have together is. Because I take it very seriously. I 1607 01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:04,000 Speaker 1: do feel a very important obligation to make the best 1608 01:43:04,120 --> 01:43:07,720 Speaker 1: use of every moment that you give me. But thank 1609 01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:11,080 Speaker 1: you for your feedback. My friend Aaron, right, it's I'm 1610 01:43:11,120 --> 01:43:13,600 Speaker 1: a little behind on your podcast. It's okay, Aaron. We 1611 01:43:13,680 --> 01:43:16,200 Speaker 1: could still be friends. But if you are enjoying punk, 1612 01:43:16,280 --> 01:43:19,639 Speaker 1: you should check out The Bastard Sons. They are a 1613 01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:24,719 Speaker 1: contemporary Southern punk band. My favorite song is Never Say Die. Also, 1614 01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:26,599 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you can get into these classics, 1615 01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:31,360 Speaker 1: but bands like Dead Kennedy's Minority Threat, Bad Religion, Dead Milkman, 1616 01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:36,599 Speaker 1: Operation Ivy, Bouncing Souls, and No FX Whoa. It's a lot, Aaron. 1617 01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:40,000 Speaker 1: Also some pretty good bands with female vocalists, Tsunami Bomb 1618 01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:42,519 Speaker 1: and Tilt. I could go on and on. You'll definitely 1619 01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:44,400 Speaker 1: be opposed to a lot of the political lyrics of 1620 01:43:44,439 --> 01:43:46,920 Speaker 1: these bands, but you should still check them out. Aaron, 1621 01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:49,920 Speaker 1: you are obviously an audio file. You're somebody that really 1622 01:43:49,960 --> 01:43:52,960 Speaker 1: likes listening to tunes, and I would just say, in 1623 01:43:53,080 --> 01:43:57,040 Speaker 1: terms of the politics of bands, I think everybody should 1624 01:43:57,080 --> 01:44:03,240 Speaker 1: take the perspective that you can appreciate the artists without 1625 01:44:03,240 --> 01:44:05,120 Speaker 1: agreeing with the artist. If you know what I mean, 1626 01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:09,519 Speaker 1: you know you can you can feel Okay, here's a 1627 01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:12,080 Speaker 1: perfect example for me for let me just put this 1628 01:44:12,120 --> 01:44:15,799 Speaker 1: one out there. I think that Rage Against the Machine, 1629 01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:19,679 Speaker 1: for my money, is for workout purposes in the gym, 1630 01:44:20,439 --> 01:44:23,679 Speaker 1: probably the greatest band of all time for working out, 1631 01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:27,040 Speaker 1: not for listening to and just hanging out with obviously, 1632 01:44:27,520 --> 01:44:29,719 Speaker 1: but I think that Rage Against the Machine has probably 1633 01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:32,800 Speaker 1: the best catalog for workout purposes of anybody out there. Now. 1634 01:44:32,800 --> 01:44:35,920 Speaker 1: People can disagree with me vehemently, that's fine. Obviously. Rage 1635 01:44:35,920 --> 01:44:40,920 Speaker 1: Against the Machine also has the politics of Ocasio Cortez 1636 01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:44,920 Speaker 1: mixed with Maduro and Karl Marx and Bernie Sanders all 1637 01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:47,519 Speaker 1: at once, right, I mean, Rage Against the machines. Politics 1638 01:44:47,520 --> 01:44:50,240 Speaker 1: are silly, but I don't care about their politics because 1639 01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:53,479 Speaker 1: I listen for the music. So when you can find 1640 01:44:53,520 --> 01:44:56,320 Speaker 1: an artist who also shares your beliefs, great, Yeah. I 1641 01:44:56,320 --> 01:44:58,559 Speaker 1: think that's that gives them a leg up. But I 1642 01:44:58,560 --> 01:45:00,960 Speaker 1: do think it's okay to separate out the music from 1643 01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:04,400 Speaker 1: the person's political beliefs singing it. You know, I don't 1644 01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:06,200 Speaker 1: think I would have seen eye to eye with Jimmy 1645 01:45:06,240 --> 01:45:08,760 Speaker 1: Hendricks and all matters of politics, although we probably would 1646 01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:11,360 Speaker 1: have agreed on more stuff than some folks would realize. 1647 01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:14,280 Speaker 1: That's and I have no idea what Jimmy hendris because 1648 01:45:14,320 --> 01:45:17,720 Speaker 1: politics were that said, I mean, Jimmy is Jimmy, and 1649 01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:21,160 Speaker 1: you gotta love the music. Nolan writes Buck, we no 1650 01:45:21,240 --> 01:45:24,120 Speaker 1: longer need to point to Venezuela to communicate the harm 1651 01:45:24,200 --> 01:45:28,280 Speaker 1: that socialism can cause. Amazon scrapping New York and the 1652 01:45:28,320 --> 01:45:31,719 Speaker 1: economic cost of that decision provides a snapshot of where 1653 01:45:31,720 --> 01:45:34,320 Speaker 1: these want to be communists will take the entire country. 1654 01:45:34,640 --> 01:45:37,880 Speaker 1: We need to highlight that and other homegrown socialist disasters 1655 01:45:37,880 --> 01:45:42,320 Speaker 1: that do real, not theoretical damage to real Americans. Well, Nolan, 1656 01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:45,840 Speaker 1: I hope you appreciate that I try to do that 1657 01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:48,040 Speaker 1: On this show, I talk to you about Venezuela, but 1658 01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:50,760 Speaker 1: I also talked to you about Amazon, and I try 1659 01:45:50,800 --> 01:45:54,880 Speaker 1: to discuss the parts of the Venezuelan disaster that are 1660 01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:58,000 Speaker 1: applicable to what's going on here at home. It's not 1661 01:45:58,120 --> 01:46:01,000 Speaker 1: enough to just say that Venezuela's socialist. It's why has 1662 01:46:01,080 --> 01:46:08,000 Speaker 1: Venezuela's socialist experiment imploded? And what are the fair points 1663 01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:12,080 Speaker 1: of comparison between Venezuela and the US and the American 1664 01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:15,960 Speaker 1: left and Ocasio Cortez and Bernie Sanders. It's not just 1665 01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:18,840 Speaker 1: about the talking points. Obviously. The huge advantage that I 1666 01:46:18,920 --> 01:46:22,160 Speaker 1: have here with you on this platform is I can 1667 01:46:22,200 --> 01:46:25,479 Speaker 1: spend real time on things that really matter. I don't 1668 01:46:25,479 --> 01:46:29,000 Speaker 1: have to constantly just flip through really quickly with a 1669 01:46:29,080 --> 01:46:32,040 Speaker 1: three or four minute conversation that's meant to just be 1670 01:46:32,200 --> 01:46:34,559 Speaker 1: good TV and then run through the next topic. We 1671 01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:38,360 Speaker 1: can really dig deep, and I think that's why people 1672 01:46:39,240 --> 01:46:43,200 Speaker 1: keep coming back here. Now. Well, gosh, going on six 1673 01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:46,280 Speaker 1: seventy seven years on the air on this show, So 1674 01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:53,160 Speaker 1: Man time does fly? Joe Rights, Buck Shields. I you 1675 01:46:53,240 --> 01:46:57,639 Speaker 1: often ask if liberals, democrats are morons or liars. The answer, 1676 01:46:57,680 --> 01:47:00,400 Speaker 1: of course is usually they are both. Whether it's the 1677 01:47:00,400 --> 01:47:03,080 Speaker 1: absurd lie of Jesse Smont or the bald faced lies 1678 01:47:03,120 --> 01:47:07,000 Speaker 1: of Andrew McCabe. The outlandishness of the lie displays their 1679 01:47:07,040 --> 01:47:12,679 Speaker 1: stupidity and the lie their moral vacuity. Well, Joe, nobody 1680 01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:16,320 Speaker 1: could ever say that you're minstin words. You obviously have 1681 01:47:16,439 --> 01:47:22,240 Speaker 1: no trouble owning the libs as they say, Kayla, Right, 1682 01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:26,400 Speaker 1: Ben Weingarten, Raheem and Michael Pelka are my favorite filling 1683 01:47:26,479 --> 01:47:31,320 Speaker 1: host great job shields high. Well, Kayla, you have fantastic taste. 1684 01:47:31,320 --> 01:47:34,599 Speaker 1: Those are all very very strong hosts in their own right, 1685 01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:37,880 Speaker 1: and they will all be repeat hosts here on the show, 1686 01:47:38,640 --> 01:47:40,519 Speaker 1: and they're going to continue to join us. So I'm 1687 01:47:40,520 --> 01:47:42,600 Speaker 1: so glad that you like it when they're in for me, 1688 01:47:42,960 --> 01:47:44,680 Speaker 1: you know, I really do want it to be the 1689 01:47:44,680 --> 01:47:47,320 Speaker 1: case that any day that I have to be away 1690 01:47:47,320 --> 01:47:50,920 Speaker 1: from this microphone, which is almost always for some other 1691 01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:53,760 Speaker 1: business reason. Occasionally it's for vacation, although I don't take 1692 01:47:53,880 --> 01:47:56,720 Speaker 1: very much vacation. Any day I'm gone, I want you 1693 01:47:56,760 --> 01:47:58,479 Speaker 1: to know that when you tune in, you're gonna get 1694 01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:00,720 Speaker 1: a great show. I don't want people who think, oh, 1695 01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:04,120 Speaker 1: Bucks not there. I'm not going to listen today because 1696 01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:08,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna get a different version of the kind of 1697 01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:10,679 Speaker 1: topics that we talk about here, the sort of show 1698 01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:13,040 Speaker 1: we do here, obviously with a different host. So I 1699 01:48:13,120 --> 01:48:15,760 Speaker 1: want the best host possible. As I've said, I know 1700 01:48:15,840 --> 01:48:17,760 Speaker 1: a lot of other radio hosts like to put in 1701 01:48:18,160 --> 01:48:20,160 Speaker 1: the B team or the C team so that people 1702 01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:21,760 Speaker 1: miss them when they're gone. That's kind of an old 1703 01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:26,040 Speaker 1: radio radio joke, radio trope. I want the best host 1704 01:48:26,080 --> 01:48:29,000 Speaker 1: we can get, so that's always my plan.
