WEBVTT - Special Counsel Nightmare Almost Over

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>You are entering the freedom hunt. Reports are coming in

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>that the Special Council is wrapping up as soon as

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 1>next week, as was expected. Here on the buck Sexton Show,

0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.880
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk about what that means for the Democrats. How

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 1>are they going to spend their time now that that

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>fantasy collapses around them? And also, speaking of fantasies, the

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>jus small at Hoax is crumbling around him. He is

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>now officially a suspect. We've got updates on that and

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 1>much more coming up. Buck Sexton Remission, decoding the news

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 1>and disseminating information with actionable intelligence, No mistake, American, You're

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 1>a great American. Again, This is the bucks Sexton Show.

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>At Puma CIA analysts, I can speak to three hours

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:06.039
<v Speaker 1>without a phone call. Try doing that sometimes. No, Andrew

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>McCabe is not a psychiatrist. He's not an internal physician.

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Either is Rod Rosenstein. They knew the constitution constitutional limits

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.320
<v Speaker 1>of the twenty fifth Amendment. It's an incapacitated president, Michae

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Woodrow Wilson maybe the last week of FDR. It's not

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>a president you're having to disagree with. So what they're

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>basically discussing is how to overthrow or aboard a presidency

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>that was duly elected. Well, I think Andrew Bickabe has

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>made a fool out of himself over the last couple

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 1>of days. And he really looks to me like sort

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 1>of a poor man's j Edgar Hoover's a. I think

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>he's a disaster. And what he was trying to do

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>was terrible and he was caught. Anybody reading the IG

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>report would say, how could a man like this be

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>involved with the FBI. Welcome to the Buck Saxon Show.

0:01:54.960 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Everybody Big news today. The Muller pro according to CNN,

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>is supposed to end sometime next week or the report,

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I should say that is the conclusion of the probe.

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:13.519
<v Speaker 1>That signals the conclusion. We'll be handed into the newly

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>installed Attorney General next week bar the a G. And

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 1>so this aligns with what I've been telling you here

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 1>for a while. I told you that I had heard

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>that the probe was going to end within a matter

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>of a few weeks, and now here we are. So

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I do believe this report, even though it comes from

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 1>fake news CNN, that this is going to be wrapping up.

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>It also comes at a time when we have more

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 1>certainty than ever before we should have more certainty than

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>ever before that the actions taken at the top of

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the Department of Justice and the FBI by pro Hillary

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>anti Trump partisans were appalling, absolutely appalling, that disgrace the

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>offices of the men and women who who held them,

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.920
<v Speaker 1>that undermine the very institutions that they at least have

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.639
<v Speaker 1>told us they sought to protect. There can be no

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 1>justification for the behavior that we already know about, and

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm here to tell you that there's a lot we

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 1>still don't know and need to know about just what

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 1>happened here. You have people who have come forward to

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:30.519
<v Speaker 1>offer freely that they were considering what was effectively a

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 1>coup against the president of the United States based on

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 1>what what was the thing that the president did that

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 1>was so terrible that McCabe and some of the others,

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Rod Rosenstein offering to wear a wire? What was a

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>thing that was done that was so terrible that a

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 1>reasonable person, a government employee in good faith would have

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:03.119
<v Speaker 1>even considered this is There isn't one. They have got

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 1>nothing firing James Comy. That is how self aware. I mean,

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the federal bureaucracy is like Skynet. Now they're willing to

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>provoke a nuclear war because they think they're more important

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>than we are. That's how self important they are. They

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.840
<v Speaker 1>want a coup to happen because their dear leader at

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>the Bureau got fired. My friends, we are going to

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>enter a very frustrating period here. Soon it will be validation.

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.160
<v Speaker 1>To be sure, you and I will be able to

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 1>go about our day very soon knowing that even with

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the bare knuckle tactics of the Muller Probe full of

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>pro Hillary partisans looking to settle scores people who are

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>obviously anti Trump in every way, they weren't able to

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>make the case against Trump. There was no collusion. You've

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:07.160
<v Speaker 1>known it all along. I've known it all along, and

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>now there will at least be further validation of that

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:17.919
<v Speaker 1>that an oppositional force, with almost unlimited resources and whatever

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 1>reach within the law it decides to have the Special

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Counsel was unable to do it. And you are going

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 1>to see as soon as this is announced, and it

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>should be next week, you will see the most dishonest

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 1>intellectual gymnastics, the most brazen garbage pedaled on TV you've

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>ever seen in your whole life. It's going to be

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>a dumpster fire. Of lies and misdirection and nothing to

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 1>see here. Let's just move on, folks. They're not even

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 1>going to pause and say, you know, maybe the endless

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 1>loop of stories about Russia collusion and all the fake

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.520
<v Speaker 1>news stories we ran that we had to then retract

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 1>or correct, and maybe we've just been part of a

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 1>of a hysteria of creating a mass delusion that has

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>been really damaging to the functions of government. Maybe we've

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 1>been wrong all this time. The Mueller Special Counsel, which

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 1>you know people celebrities, media figures on the left, and

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 1>the so called objective journalists, they've been acting like Muller

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>was some kind of saint who was going to deliver

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.480
<v Speaker 1>this country from the pits of hell that Donald Trump

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 1>had brought us to. They're not going to change any

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>of that opinion. Even when Mueller says, yeah, it turns

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 1>out there was no collusion, turns out that didn't happen.

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:56.240
<v Speaker 1>We can't prove it. There's nothing there. Collusion from the

0:06:56.240 --> 0:07:02.600
<v Speaker 1>beginning was a silly idea that was cooked up by

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:07.720
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of hysterical pro Hillary anti Trump partisans. There

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>was never a there there, and we are going to

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>get in my opinion. We haven't seen the report yet. Yes,

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>there's a there is a possibility of that eleventh hour

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>bombshell or something. I don't know, but I kind of know.

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Once this report is given the Attorney General, and whether

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.400
<v Speaker 1>he makes it public or not, there's no way if

0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>they had something on the president, they'd be able to

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 1>keep that quiet. So we're gonna know, and even when

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 1>it's out there, there will not be any adjustment whatsoever

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:46.560
<v Speaker 1>in the hysterics, in the nonsense from CNN and MSNBC,

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 1>the Washington Post in New York Times. They still are

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>going to claim that what's needed is further investigation of

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the president. That all we've really found out is how

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.679
<v Speaker 1>how much more investigating there has to be, because these

0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>people are willing to pollute the law down to its

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>very core. As long as they can weaponize the law

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:18.000
<v Speaker 1>enforcement bureaucracy and the congressional oversight processes against this president.

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 1>That's the plan. You're going to see an immediate switch,

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 1>as though nothing has happened, as though there's no necessary

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.960
<v Speaker 1>evaluation that should take place of how crazy this whole

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 1>stupid Trump Russia collusion narrative has been all along, and

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.560
<v Speaker 1>what a disgrace. The journalists that have been pushing it

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>have been They're not going to stop and think about

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 1>any of that. They're immediately going to transition into, well,

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 1>what does the southern District of New York have on him?

0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 1>What can we get on his tax returns, What can

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 1>we do to investigate his children? Maybe some of his

0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 1>kids drank underage in high school or college or you know,

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 1>that's where this is going to go. These people have

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 1>no shame, They have no principles, they have no ethics.

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>They are pushing a narrative that goes to the very

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 1>core not just of what they believe about this country,

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.239
<v Speaker 1>that there is an elite, that there is an establishment,

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 1>that the Democrat Left is the only legitimate power structure

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.560
<v Speaker 1>that exists here, but that also goes to the core

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 1>of what they the peddlers of this false anti Trump narrative,

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 1>believe about themselves, which is that they have to have

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 1>been right all along. They must be right all along.

0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Even if they can't prove there was any Russia collusion,

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>they know it's there. Why because they believe it. Because ultimately,

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Russia collusion for the hysterical left has turned into a

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:50.480
<v Speaker 1>replacement religious belief they will never abandon it. So even

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 1>though the Special Counsel is going to be ending soon,

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 1>my friends, unfortunately, the Democrats hysteria is just going to

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.800
<v Speaker 1>find other outlets now and will continue. We got just

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 1>small at updates. We've got a lot on the Democrat

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 1>candidates that are out there. Now, we're going to talk

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 1>about Bernie Sanders so much show coming up. Team stay

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 1>with me. The collections are down to about thirty percent

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 1>of the target. That is about a two point three

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>billion dollar drop in revenues. Two point three billion dollars.

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:29.720
<v Speaker 1>As a drop at this point in revenues is as

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 1>serious as a heart attack. Assault encourages high income New

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Yorkers to move to other states. And what you have

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 1>to remember is even if a small number of high

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 1>income taxpayers leave, it has a dramatic effect on this

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>tax space. Tax the rich, Tax the rich, tax the rich.

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 1>We did now, God forbid the rich leave. Nobody on

0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the stands like Governor Cuomo that if you tax and

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:09.440
<v Speaker 1>tax and tax the rich, and tax and tax some more,

0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 1>eventually they get tired of paying the taxes and the

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:20.839
<v Speaker 1>tax You get the idea, Oh what a shock, New

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 1>York Higher taxes. People want to leave, people who can leave,

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.080
<v Speaker 1>people who it is easy for them to leave. The

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:33.960
<v Speaker 1>wealthy are particularly mobile, especially when it comes to establishing

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:39.560
<v Speaker 1>state residents in one place or another. The wealthy are

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.240
<v Speaker 1>the ones that are going to be the first to leave.

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.319
<v Speaker 1>By the way, the French dealt with this recently when

0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:49.560
<v Speaker 1>they instituted a specific millionaires tax, But they haven't learned

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.920
<v Speaker 1>their lesson really either. They had millionaires in France who

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 1>are leaving and going to other countries in the EU. Well,

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.559
<v Speaker 1>there you go, trying to find other places, trying to

0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:06.199
<v Speaker 1>find tax havens. Taxation is unfortunately the primary, the primary

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 1>effort of the Democrats going into twenty twenty, you're going

0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 1>to hear a lot about this. Yeah, they're going to

0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 1>address these different things up with oh, it's about climate change,

0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:20.320
<v Speaker 1>or it's about healthcare, or but really behind all of this,

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:26.240
<v Speaker 1>there is going to be increases in taxation. The state

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>wants more of your stuff, whether at the federal level

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.199
<v Speaker 1>or at the state level. If the Democrats are in charge,

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:37.079
<v Speaker 1>that's what's going to happen, and they don't learn the

0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 1>lessons of history. I still see people going on TV

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.480
<v Speaker 1>who are saying, well, under the Eisenhower administration, the tax

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.440
<v Speaker 1>rate was ninety percent. They keep saying this, and the

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 1>truth is that there was nobody in the Eisenhower administration

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.960
<v Speaker 1>that was paying ninety percent income taxes or during the

0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.960
<v Speaker 1>administration not anymore. But there's nobody in that era that

0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 1>they can point to whoever even had to pay that rate.

0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 1>And with the lowering of rates thanks to Reagan, you

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 1>had an explosion in growth in the economy and a

0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:10.560
<v Speaker 1>booming stock market, and all of a sudden things had

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:14.440
<v Speaker 1>been for many, many years before that. But not only

0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats not students of history. Many of them are

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 1>in fact rewriters of history. They go back and they

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 1>change things around because at some point they've had too

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.200
<v Speaker 1>many failures with their plans for governance for this to

0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.240
<v Speaker 1>seem like an accident. At some point it starts to

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:37.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like maybe they're doing this on purpose, maybe to

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 1>borrow from Obama. Here, it's not about what's best for

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the economy. It's about what's fair in the eyes of

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.439
<v Speaker 1>people that are obsessed with fairness. I saw a very

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 1>interesting gropic today that I'd never seen before making the

0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 1>rounds on social media, and it was a social justice

0:13:55.280 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 1>approach to the difference between equality and equity, and it

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 1>was three people. I've never seen this before, this cartoon.

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Three people that were looking at look like a baseball game,

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>and they're all of different heights. And equality, they say,

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.720
<v Speaker 1>is the people of different heights looking at the game.

0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Some of them can see it, some of them can't.

0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Equity is putting people on different sized platforms so they

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.840
<v Speaker 1>can all see the game. And what I think is

0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 1>so interesting about this is that that it really shows

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 1>you what the democrat position is here, which is that

0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 1>individuals should not be held responsible for their own decisions.

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Individuals should not be rewarded or punished by the market

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 1>or by the state based upon what they choose to do.

0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:42.480
<v Speaker 1>We should seek for a society where everybody is the same,

0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:45.920
<v Speaker 1>not that we are treated the same way by the law,

0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>not that we have the same rights, where we are

0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the same This is not just a fool's errand it

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 1>is dangerous. There will always be inequality in every society.

0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.200
<v Speaker 1>There will always be people that make better decisions than others,

0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 1>that are luckier than others, don't. Our luck is a

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.400
<v Speaker 1>huge component of economic success. We have a lot of

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.720
<v Speaker 1>trust fund brats running around this country. Don't think I'm

0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 1>not aware of it. Some of them are rather powerful.

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.040
<v Speaker 1>You have a lot of that going on. It's not fair,

0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:19.080
<v Speaker 1>but it's never going to be fair. And the purpose

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 1>of the state should not be the purpose of our

0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:26.800
<v Speaker 1>government should not be trying to create a utopia here

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.160
<v Speaker 1>on earth. It should be what is the best form

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 1>of governance based on the realities of human beings that

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:37.120
<v Speaker 1>we have seen play out again and again throughout history.

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 1>How do we work within the constraints of people are imperfect,

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.080
<v Speaker 1>people are self interested? What do we do with that?

0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.440
<v Speaker 1>How do we motivate people to do good things and

0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the best things that they can do on an individual

0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:53.440
<v Speaker 1>basis and not just try to create this I mean again,

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.720
<v Speaker 1>is this radical equity you could call it? Where everyone

0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 1>is the same? You're you're gonna see more of this,

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I think emerging. Because the economy doing as well as

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 1>as it has been under Trump and the country doing

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 1>as well as it has. The only place for the

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Democrats to go is we will give you more stuff

0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:14.720
<v Speaker 1>if you let us take more stuff from other people.

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.240
<v Speaker 1>That's going to be a primary message. It's going to

0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 1>be very very important for Bernie Sanders, for Kamala Harris

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.320
<v Speaker 1>for a booker for Warren go down the line. It's

0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.800
<v Speaker 1>also why Schultz talking about possibly running as a third

0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:32.280
<v Speaker 1>party candidate was so horrifically offensive to the Democrat establishment,

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.880
<v Speaker 1>because he can't be out there saying you can't just

0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.360
<v Speaker 1>give free stuff to everybody. You can't just tax people

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 1>into oblivion and think that that's not going to have

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:44.040
<v Speaker 1>negative consequences in many cases for the very people that

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.960
<v Speaker 1>you think you're trying to help. There's some stories pop

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 1>it up now about again based going back to New York.

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:55.160
<v Speaker 1>New York has problems. Yes, we know, Governor Cuomo, there

0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:58.080
<v Speaker 1>are fast food workers now that New York City has

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.200
<v Speaker 1>a fifteen dollar minimum wage for fast food work workers,

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 1>they're fast food workers that also want protections from what

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 1>they say are unfair firings. Well, let me just point

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.720
<v Speaker 1>out that the desire to fire fast food workers when

0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:14.680
<v Speaker 1>they are all costing fifteen dollars an hour is elevated

0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.160
<v Speaker 1>from what it would have been before because now they

0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:22.480
<v Speaker 1>are more expensive employees, and more expensive employees who don't

0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 1>perform to the expectations of the employer. You're even more

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.120
<v Speaker 1>incentivized to get rid of them or to cut back

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 1>on their hour. So now they're looking to the state

0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.720
<v Speaker 1>to intrude into the market and say that unless there's

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 1>a and they're saying unless there's a good reason, it's

0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.359
<v Speaker 1>going to be unless there's there's not going to be

0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:41.639
<v Speaker 1>any reason that's acceptable short of like committing a felony

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 1>on the job. They're going to try to make it

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.960
<v Speaker 1>so you can't fire fast food. Mark it really hard

0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:50.480
<v Speaker 1>and cumbersome and arduous to fire somebody in the fast

0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:53.280
<v Speaker 1>food industry because they're concerned now that they are going

0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.639
<v Speaker 1>to be layoffs, so they set the minimum wage at

0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:57.920
<v Speaker 1>fifteen dollars, and then they want to combat the layoffs

0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.760
<v Speaker 1>with government policy. They don't understand. This is a balloon.

0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 1>You can keep squeezing it, but the air goes somewhere.

0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.760
<v Speaker 1>All Right, we have a whole lot. I gotta update

0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 1>you on the the Jussi Smallette situation. It's getting worse

0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.880
<v Speaker 1>for Jesse. As we here in the Freedom Hunt knew

0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:20.120
<v Speaker 1>that it would. This guy, this guy is in trouble.

0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.800
<v Speaker 1>But the situation for Smallette is getting worse. And we

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 1>will also get into the latest on the craziness, the

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:35.240
<v Speaker 1>absolute craziness coming from from Democrats these days on TV

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:39.000
<v Speaker 1>about all about all things Trump. They've really just they

0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.919
<v Speaker 1>have jumped the shark several times over. We have that

0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 1>and much more coming up. I don't know what he

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 1>was thinking. I don't know if he has a mental

0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.360
<v Speaker 1>problem or whatever. But it's not looking good for him,

0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.439
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. And and and it's it was.

0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:59.920
<v Speaker 1>It took place in Chicago, dirty below and crime stops

0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:03.960
<v Speaker 1>in his thirty below? Okay, and why would some Republicans

0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:07.680
<v Speaker 1>that are Maga fans be watching Empire? He owes everybody

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.119
<v Speaker 1>an apology, He owes the black community apology, heals the

0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:13.080
<v Speaker 1>gay community apology, because because it looks like he's lying.

0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:15.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and you know, when it first happened, I

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.280
<v Speaker 1>was like, Yo, we need to go get these dudes man,

0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, because it's like you put a news over

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:23.480
<v Speaker 1>your net. Because nowadays, with all this racial sensitivity, it's

0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.720
<v Speaker 1>like it's it's too sensitive. And so we reacted and

0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:28.840
<v Speaker 1>we were ready to, you know, fight for this guy.

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.080
<v Speaker 1>And then his story started looking a little shady, you

0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:33.879
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, they started looking a little shady.

0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I think that the guy's career is done.

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I think so. I think so. That was a comedian

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.639
<v Speaker 1>who was asked about this, and I think gave some

0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty godfree Comedian Godfrey talking about the Smallett situation. Do

0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:55.320
<v Speaker 1>we say smaller or Smolette. I'm not sure which it is.

0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I've never heard the name Jessie before either. Not that

0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to make fun of names or point out

0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:04.240
<v Speaker 1>the peculiarity of names because Glasshouse and all that, But

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Jesse Smollett is now officially, I can tell you a suspect.

0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Chicago Police spokesman Anthony gugliel Me said that the Empire

0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.720
<v Speaker 1>actor Jesse Smollett is officially a suspect and a criminal

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:24.160
<v Speaker 1>investigation for filing a false report, which is a class

0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:29.879
<v Speaker 1>for felony. He is in a world to hurt my

0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:36.320
<v Speaker 1>friends because, trust me, given all the sensitivity and all

0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:43.119
<v Speaker 1>of the national attention on this story, it's fair to

0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:47.680
<v Speaker 1>say that Chicago police would not take this step unless

0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:52.680
<v Speaker 1>they were darn sure that they had something on this guy.

0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:54.760
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, look, it's not like this is a

0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:56.639
<v Speaker 1>hard thing to figure out either, right, I mean, this

0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:59.440
<v Speaker 1>is not a difficult It's not like we have to

0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.640
<v Speaker 1>sit here and think for a long time. To come

0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.560
<v Speaker 1>up with what probably went down here. I think we

0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:08.639
<v Speaker 1>already know. I think that what we have been told

0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:14.560
<v Speaker 1>largely is what has happened here, which is that this

0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:19.199
<v Speaker 1>guy most likely hired these two individuals and engaged in

0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:28.760
<v Speaker 1>this engaged in this hoax, another race hoax, racial incident, hoax,

0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 1>of hate crime, fakery. It's very disturbing, and I do

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 1>think you should be charged. I'm seeing some people in

0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:41.080
<v Speaker 1>conservative land say, well, I feel bad for him and

0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:44.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe his mental health issues. Let me share a different

0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:48.359
<v Speaker 1>perspective here by John Cass, a Chicago Tribune reporter, and

0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I would note that local Chicago media has done this

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:56.520
<v Speaker 1>one right. They have covered this case. They have shown that,

0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:59.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, local media because I think they realize they

0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:04.320
<v Speaker 1>can't compete with feeding the audience the narrative whatever they

0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:06.040
<v Speaker 1>want to hear. You know, they're never going to be

0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:07.800
<v Speaker 1>able to do that the same way that the national

0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:11.119
<v Speaker 1>outlets do. So. Better to be accurate, right, Better to

0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:14.480
<v Speaker 1>be telling the people in your community what's true and

0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:19.280
<v Speaker 1>what facts you can present them. But John Cass writes

0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:22.240
<v Speaker 1>the following the Chicago Tribune quote, something important has been

0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:25.720
<v Speaker 1>lost in the embarrassing saga of Jesse Smollett, the tuna

0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:28.920
<v Speaker 1>fish sandwich loving actor and anti Trump activist, and those

0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 1>muscular Nigerian brothers. And I suppose it's easy to lose

0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:36.000
<v Speaker 1>what's important with all the panic and intersectional hatred and

0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:40.440
<v Speaker 1>liberal identity politics gone bad in this Smallet story, what's

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:46.359
<v Speaker 1>been lost is this. I'm told that two dozen detectives

0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:50.320
<v Speaker 1>were assigned to the Smallet case. Can Chicago afford that

0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:52.960
<v Speaker 1>with all the unsolved murders and shootings in this town? No,

0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:58.440
<v Speaker 1>there were some eighteen people killed in Chicago after Smolette

0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:01.679
<v Speaker 1>began telling his story in late January, that story in

0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:04.399
<v Speaker 1>which he cast himself as the hero about having to

0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:08.480
<v Speaker 1>fight off pro Trump racists. Now it turns out that

0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 1>the pro Trump racist who he says put a noose

0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:14.600
<v Speaker 1>around his neck may actually be his friends, two muscular

0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Nigerian brothers who may or may not have been paid

0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:21.560
<v Speaker 1>in this deal. Either way, his story is he fought

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.040
<v Speaker 1>them off even though he had a cell phone in

0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:28.159
<v Speaker 1>one hand and a tuna sandwich in the other. Small

0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:31.359
<v Speaker 1>It must be a certified badass because his sandwich survived,

0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:35.040
<v Speaker 1>But two dozen detectives assigned to check out his story

0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:37.640
<v Speaker 1>that he was a victim of a politically inspired pro

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Trump hate crime, a story unraveling by the second. Even

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago, a city known for its unending violence and

0:23:46.760 --> 0:23:50.359
<v Speaker 1>political corruption, assigning two dozen detectives seems a bit overdone.

0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:55.000
<v Speaker 1>But Chicago has an abysmal homicide clearance rate of about

0:23:55.040 --> 0:24:00.400
<v Speaker 1>seventeen percent. Chicago's detective ranks have been decimated by atrician

0:24:00.480 --> 0:24:05.440
<v Speaker 1>and shortsighted management. There aren't enough detectives. Even so, two

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:11.080
<v Speaker 1>dozen detectives for Smallet just doesn't seem right. Make no mistake.

0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 1>He's not blaming the detectives here or the Chicago Police Department.

0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:17.960
<v Speaker 1>They work for a politician. His name is Ram Emmanuel.

0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:21.920
<v Speaker 1>When Smallett told his amazing story about being a black

0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:24.040
<v Speaker 1>guy attacked by racist Trump supporters and one of the

0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 1>coldest knights of the year, the media was all over.

0:24:26.119 --> 0:24:29.240
<v Speaker 1>The national politicians were Oliver John John Cass here and

0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:32.879
<v Speaker 1>end quote there. John Cass of the Chicago Tribune is

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:39.360
<v Speaker 1>making a critical, critical point, and that is that this

0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 1>this case got more attention because of the politics involved,

0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:50.960
<v Speaker 1>because of the nonsense narrative about horrific Trump supporters and

0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:53.600
<v Speaker 1>they're evil hate crimes that are such a scourge and

0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:57.440
<v Speaker 1>such a national panic, and all the all the triggered

0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:01.879
<v Speaker 1>libs are all worried about this all the time. More

0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:08.199
<v Speaker 1>police resources were devoted to this obvious hoax of a story,

0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:15.600
<v Speaker 1>then to actual murders, actual murders, including the murder recently

0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:19.679
<v Speaker 1>of a one year old boy who was shot in

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:24.480
<v Speaker 1>the head. One year old boy a street gang was

0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:26.919
<v Speaker 1>trying to shoot his mother and they shot the one

0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:31.960
<v Speaker 1>year old boy. His name was Dejeon Irving. There weren't

0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 1>two dozen detectives a shine assigned to a Dejeun Irving's case.

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:41.600
<v Speaker 1>And we want to tell me why this guy small

0:25:41.640 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 1>at should be given a pass here, Why we shouldn't

0:25:46.080 --> 0:25:49.840
<v Speaker 1>pay attention to the resources, to the wasted effort in

0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:52.560
<v Speaker 1>time when there are real problems. I mean, Chicago has

0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:59.679
<v Speaker 1>a gun violence epidemic. And now we find out that

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:02.919
<v Speaker 1>Smallett is a suspect in this. If they can prove this,

0:26:03.119 --> 0:26:06.480
<v Speaker 1>and I believe they will be able to, they should

0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:10.640
<v Speaker 1>punish him to the fullest extent of the law. My

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:14.000
<v Speaker 1>expectation here I don't know yet. My expectation is that

0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Jesse Smollett is going to have to take a plea

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:22.200
<v Speaker 1>bargain because otherwise he could face some pretty serious prison time.

0:26:23.560 --> 0:26:26.399
<v Speaker 1>I also think that he should spend some time in prison.

0:26:27.119 --> 0:26:30.720
<v Speaker 1>I'd have to look at what the statutory guidelines are.

0:26:30.840 --> 0:26:32.600
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think this should be a slap on

0:26:32.640 --> 0:26:34.520
<v Speaker 1>the resk situation. I don't think that this should be

0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:38.080
<v Speaker 1>treated like this is okay. Someone tell me how George

0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Papadopolis deserves to go to prison for two weeks and

0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:43.120
<v Speaker 1>this guy's Smallett for for what, by the way, lying

0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:47.080
<v Speaker 1>about nothing, a non lie about a non crime. Jesse

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Smollett should not go to prison for this. All the resources,

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:54.560
<v Speaker 1>all the time wasted, the cost of the taxpayers, and

0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 1>the disrespect shown to the families of dead children in

0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Chicago who couldn't expect the same resources devoted to their

0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:11.399
<v Speaker 1>children's cases because the Democrat politicians who control Chicago didn't

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:16.000
<v Speaker 1>see those murders as important as this small a hoax.

0:27:17.080 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 1>That's what's really happening here. There's got to be a

0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:25.320
<v Speaker 1>case here, There ought to be a case here. We

0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:27.600
<v Speaker 1>live in a time where what is it a competition?

0:27:28.080 --> 0:27:31.600
<v Speaker 1>See how quickly you can destroy someone and how quickly

0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:34.359
<v Speaker 1>you can destroy someone with a falsehood. I mean this

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:38.680
<v Speaker 1>is unbelievable. This rush to judgment, this rush to condemnation

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:41.320
<v Speaker 1>these boys, and that will be tagging these boys forever,

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:44.840
<v Speaker 1>no matter what happens in this lawsuit. Shameful. That tells

0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you something about where the country is and where a

0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:49.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of the media is. He's not only the apologies

0:27:49.280 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 1>to do it. Given the state of the social media

0:27:51.600 --> 0:27:54.680
<v Speaker 1>and given what we have seen, something has to be done.

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:57.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think that's what citizens, non lawyers like

0:27:57.480 --> 0:28:00.680
<v Speaker 1>myself say. You cannot just have this system where you

0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:03.760
<v Speaker 1>rush to judgment, destroy somebody and then pick up the

0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:07.080
<v Speaker 1>pieces later. It's a big lesson civics and withholding judgment

0:28:07.080 --> 0:28:09.880
<v Speaker 1>and the burden to proof, remember the whole business with Kavanaugh.

0:28:09.960 --> 0:28:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Can we see where the proof is before we make

0:28:12.040 --> 0:28:19.160
<v Speaker 1>a judgment. Covington Catholic is suing coving Catholic student rather

0:28:19.280 --> 0:28:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Nick Sandman, not the school, is suing the Washington Post

0:28:23.600 --> 0:28:27.760
<v Speaker 1>for two hundred and fifty million dollars, which, interestingly enough,

0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:34.399
<v Speaker 1>is what Jeff Bezos paid for the Washington Post same amount.

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's an accident, in folks, that's what

0:28:37.440 --> 0:28:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Bezos paid to buy the Post in twenty thirteen. This

0:28:41.080 --> 0:28:45.080
<v Speaker 1>lawsuit from Covington. Catholic is seeking fifty million dollars in

0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:48.760
<v Speaker 1>compensation for the alleged damage done, and it wants an

0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 1>additional two hundred million dollars impunitive damages in order to

0:28:55.440 --> 0:29:00.280
<v Speaker 1>punish the company for what it did. And you have,

0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:03.760
<v Speaker 1>of course, the spokespeople for Washington posting they're gonna fight this,

0:29:04.160 --> 0:29:07.040
<v Speaker 1>YadA YadA, the rest of it. Let me say this,

0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I think I think that the Covington folks here have

0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:16.040
<v Speaker 1>a case. I spoke to Professor Dershowitz today about this,

0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:18.920
<v Speaker 1>and he said, look, you know, these are not there's

0:29:18.920 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 1>a different standard. These are not public figures. These are

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:28.400
<v Speaker 1>private citizens. And they didn't ask for this, they didn't

0:29:28.440 --> 0:29:32.760
<v Speaker 1>want this, and there must be some standard. There must

0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:38.600
<v Speaker 1>be some required due diligence for media organizations before they

0:29:38.640 --> 0:29:42.080
<v Speaker 1>can destroy someone's life. I'm sorry, I think that there

0:29:42.080 --> 0:29:44.440
<v Speaker 1>has to be a line drawn here if you are

0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 1>not a public figure, if you are somebody that is

0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:52.040
<v Speaker 1>a private citizen who is drawn into something like this. Yes,

0:29:52.480 --> 0:29:55.640
<v Speaker 1>of course the media can write about it, but they

0:29:55.720 --> 0:30:00.120
<v Speaker 1>have to do so with some sense of a possible liability.

0:30:01.520 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Otherwise they're in a position where they can be utterly reckless,

0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:08.160
<v Speaker 1>do exactly what they did to these Cummington kids, drive

0:30:08.200 --> 0:30:12.840
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of clicks and just later on say they're

0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:15.560
<v Speaker 1>going to apologize. See, this is a big disconnect for

0:30:15.600 --> 0:30:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the media in this country. The mainstream likes to get

0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:24.840
<v Speaker 1>things wrong, but get things wrong that are always feeding

0:30:25.360 --> 0:30:28.560
<v Speaker 1>their base what they want, you know whatever, whether it's

0:30:28.640 --> 0:30:32.240
<v Speaker 1>on the j Smollett case or any of these stories

0:30:32.280 --> 0:30:37.640
<v Speaker 1>they like to tell their readership or to show their viewers. Yeah, yeah,

0:30:37.680 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the narrative that we give you all the time. Here's

0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:43.520
<v Speaker 1>more of that. Here's more racism in America, Here's more

0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 1>white male patriarchy at work. Here's more Donald Trump as

0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:51.120
<v Speaker 1>a trade or whatever it may be. And then they

0:30:51.160 --> 0:30:52.800
<v Speaker 1>think that they should get a pat on the back

0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:56.840
<v Speaker 1>and thank you so much when they have to correct

0:30:57.360 --> 0:31:00.360
<v Speaker 1>they're insanely false story. This is why they are fake news.

0:31:01.560 --> 0:31:05.520
<v Speaker 1>They don't seem to either recognize or accept that by

0:31:05.600 --> 0:31:11.360
<v Speaker 1>getting stories like this so incredibly wrong over and over again,

0:31:12.440 --> 0:31:17.480
<v Speaker 1>people are going to not trust them. You know this,

0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:19.840
<v Speaker 1>this is not if you would up. I was about

0:31:19.840 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 1>to do an analogy. Now I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna,

0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go no analogy here, you understand what I'm saying.

0:31:26.160 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 1>In any other profession, if you kept getting the if

0:31:29.120 --> 0:31:32.719
<v Speaker 1>you kept getting it wrong and then correcting yourself, you

0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:35.560
<v Speaker 1>would suffer consequences. Journalists seem to think that on big

0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:39.000
<v Speaker 1>stories that they get wrong, there's no problem. And this

0:31:39.280 --> 0:31:43.520
<v Speaker 1>is you know, enough, enough is enough. We need to

0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:46.320
<v Speaker 1>hold them accountable for what's going on here. Speaking of

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:50.480
<v Speaker 1>holding journalists accountable, some of you know that I have

0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:54.520
<v Speaker 1>in the past talked about a certain CNN analyst, Oh,

0:31:54.600 --> 0:32:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I know the whole crew over there at CNN, Gravid Gurgond.

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Gurg He's or he's been in politics for three hundred years.

0:32:05.600 --> 0:32:08.880
<v Speaker 1>And he goes on shooting in and kind of just

0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:14.960
<v Speaker 1>gurgling with Gurgon, kind of mutters things Niiction, Reagan, Ford administration,

0:32:16.280 --> 0:32:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Shirish vanch and Ford and when Nixon Chino, And it's

0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:23.640
<v Speaker 1>always the same from this guy. It's just like our

0:32:24.000 --> 0:32:26.280
<v Speaker 1>when I was just back from cheventy five and then

0:32:26.320 --> 0:32:29.560
<v Speaker 1>eighty four and in White House and Nixon and decision

0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:32.280
<v Speaker 1>making and you're like, Okay, what does that have to

0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:35.000
<v Speaker 1>do with anything, Gergan and why are you gurgling? Um.

0:32:35.880 --> 0:32:39.640
<v Speaker 1>He also decided to go following in Jake Tapper's footsteps.

0:32:39.640 --> 0:32:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Who Jake Tapper made a a very thinly veiled gay

0:32:43.920 --> 0:32:49.360
<v Speaker 1>joke about anti gay remark about um roger Stone that

0:32:49.400 --> 0:32:52.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe he would like prison he he he because there

0:32:52.360 --> 0:32:55.400
<v Speaker 1>have been rumors about roger Stone and his sexuality that

0:32:55.400 --> 0:32:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I've been out there in the media for a long time. Uh.

0:32:59.560 --> 0:33:03.880
<v Speaker 1>You have have David Gergen, the senior statesman of many

0:33:03.920 --> 0:33:08.200
<v Speaker 1>a CNN political panel, who thought that he would just

0:33:08.200 --> 0:33:10.920
<v Speaker 1>just throw this little comment in the mix play fourteen.

0:33:11.080 --> 0:33:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Rogerstown must also worry that if he goes there, he said,

0:33:14.280 --> 0:33:16.240
<v Speaker 1>you know he's seen something of a dandy. Well, he'd

0:33:16.280 --> 0:33:19.200
<v Speaker 1>be physically safe, I will he will be subject to rape.

0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean there must be a lot of things that

0:33:20.440 --> 0:33:22.760
<v Speaker 1>are going through his mind. Oh my god, what you

0:33:22.840 --> 0:33:27.920
<v Speaker 1>were if I gotten myself into? What the heck does

0:33:28.000 --> 0:33:31.080
<v Speaker 1>that mean? He's something of a dandy and must be

0:33:31.120 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 1>worried if he's going to be raped? What is g

0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is the guy who CNN turns to

0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:42.720
<v Speaker 1>for we have a national security crisis. We need somebody

0:33:42.720 --> 0:33:45.600
<v Speaker 1>to really just just speak to the nation from his

0:33:45.760 --> 0:33:48.920
<v Speaker 1>gravy toss, just go deep into that gravy toss. Well,

0:33:49.000 --> 0:33:53.960
<v Speaker 1>gurgling gurgen urge World's gurge deep. The whales were very

0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Remember when our yet and talked to Ted Kennedy about

0:33:58.240 --> 0:34:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the wild You know, he says, what this guy comes

0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:05.479
<v Speaker 1>up with, this is who the rest of America if

0:34:05.560 --> 0:34:08.480
<v Speaker 1>we're if we're gonna treat the ann like a real

0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:12.879
<v Speaker 1>journalistic enterprise, we're gonna act like this guy has something

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:16.560
<v Speaker 1>to offer that we should listen to. I canna tell you,

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:20.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, I increasingly now I judge people who watch

0:34:20.960 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 1>CNN not for comedic effect. I got questions. I got

0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:27.160
<v Speaker 1>questions like, what do you think is going on here?

0:34:28.000 --> 0:34:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was so interesting as an aside, that

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:36.200
<v Speaker 1>one of the Obama Obama bros from the Obama White House,

0:34:36.360 --> 0:34:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I forget his name's he's one of the ones that

0:34:38.719 --> 0:34:41.200
<v Speaker 1>does one of the he does a podcast that a

0:34:41.239 --> 0:34:44.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of lefties listened to. He went on some some

0:34:45.120 --> 0:34:49.640
<v Speaker 1>tirade on Twitter today about how Sarah Flores or Sarah

0:34:49.719 --> 0:34:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Iszger rather who is um an acquaintance of mine, is

0:34:54.400 --> 0:34:58.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna be run. She was working at the Department of Justice,

0:34:58.440 --> 0:35:00.440
<v Speaker 1>and before that she was a guest of mine on

0:35:00.480 --> 0:35:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Real News many times. She's worked with Jeff Sessions, she's

0:35:03.160 --> 0:35:05.720
<v Speaker 1>a conservative, she worked with Ted Cruz. I believe as well,

0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:09.480
<v Speaker 1>she's going to be involved in campaign coverage for CNN

0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:14.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty. And you had this guy, Tommy Vtur that's

0:35:14.080 --> 0:35:18.400
<v Speaker 1>his name, who's one of the pod save bros. You

0:35:18.480 --> 0:35:22.240
<v Speaker 1>had him rip rip some tweet out there where he says,

0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:27.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, CNN's credibility is at stake here, blah blah blah.

0:35:27.719 --> 0:35:30.280
<v Speaker 1>It's all upset about it. I'm like, is he an idiot?

0:35:30.320 --> 0:35:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Does he really think that CNN is a nonpartisan enterprise?

0:35:33.800 --> 0:35:37.279
<v Speaker 1>Does does anybody really believe that anymore? I have to

0:35:37.320 --> 0:35:43.080
<v Speaker 1>ask this, who holds onto this? That's paying attention. It's

0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:44.839
<v Speaker 1>a it's a fair question, one that doesn't have any

0:35:44.880 --> 0:35:48.880
<v Speaker 1>any particularly inspiring answers. That's for sure. You know CNN

0:35:48.960 --> 0:35:52.640
<v Speaker 1>is a dumpster fire of partisan hackery. But yeah, sure,

0:35:52.719 --> 0:35:57.440
<v Speaker 1>let's pretend like it's something else. You may be familiar

0:35:57.480 --> 0:36:00.120
<v Speaker 1>with AARP, you or someone you know could already be

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:03.080
<v Speaker 1>a member, But did you know that the AARP is

0:36:03.320 --> 0:36:06.480
<v Speaker 1>a left wing organization when it comes to politics. They

0:36:06.520 --> 0:36:09.440
<v Speaker 1>stood against tax cuts for middle class Americans and small

0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:14.080
<v Speaker 1>business owners recently. That's why I recommend Amak AMAC is

0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:19.040
<v Speaker 1>all about sharing your values and getting value for its members.

0:36:19.239 --> 0:36:21.800

0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:25.360
<v Speaker 1>roadside assistants, dental plans, even sell phone service options. But

0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:29.440
<v Speaker 1>also AMAC tries to push for policy at the national

0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:33.360
<v Speaker 1>level that you agree with, like a secure boarder, fixing

0:36:33.400 --> 0:36:38.000
<v Speaker 1>social security, economic sanity, and are spending all that You

0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:41.120
<v Speaker 1>need to check out AMAC for yourself. Stand with AMAC

0:36:41.120 --> 0:36:43.560

<v Speaker 1>slash buck. AMACK is better, better for you, better for America. Look,

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I've had my own runnings with Andy McCabe, and this

0:37:03.480 --> 0:37:06.440
<v Speaker 1>is part of the problem. That Andy McCabe FBI was

0:37:06.640 --> 0:37:10.120
<v Speaker 1>protect James Comy FBI at all costs. They didn't wear

0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:13.160
<v Speaker 1>blinders the way justice is supposed to be done. They

0:37:13.160 --> 0:37:16.239
<v Speaker 1>were blindly loyal to Jim Comey under coomy, I was

0:37:16.280 --> 0:37:20.040
<v Speaker 1>invited to participate to lead a FBI counter terrorism communications

0:37:20.080 --> 0:37:23.640
<v Speaker 1>training session. When Comey got fired, I said some mildly

0:37:23.640 --> 0:37:27.080
<v Speaker 1>critical things about Comey and Andie McCabe. I was literally

0:37:27.160 --> 0:37:29.320
<v Speaker 1>in an FBI car on my way to the event.

0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:32.160
<v Speaker 1>McCabe told the car to drop me off because I

0:37:32.239 --> 0:37:36.680
<v Speaker 1>criticized Comy mildly. He was so defensive about James Comy

0:37:36.760 --> 0:37:39.880
<v Speaker 1>he actually canceled the training portion of a counter terrorism event,

0:37:40.239 --> 0:37:43.480
<v Speaker 1>told the car let him out. That's Andy McCabe for you.

0:37:43.680 --> 0:37:46.560
<v Speaker 1>And this is a whole reflection of the top leadership

0:37:46.560 --> 0:37:50.319
<v Speaker 1>of the FBI. Protect James Comey at all costs. That's

0:37:50.360 --> 0:37:53.919
<v Speaker 1>the problem with blind loyalty. It's all coming out now.

0:37:55.320 --> 0:37:59.160
<v Speaker 1>That little vignette that Ari Fleischer shared of Andy McCabe,

0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 1>that's a rise any of you. Did it surprise you

0:38:02.680 --> 0:38:09.279
<v Speaker 1>that McCabe would act in such a disrespectful and just

0:38:09.440 --> 0:38:14.880
<v Speaker 1>really childish fashion in order to show his just undying

0:38:14.960 --> 0:38:18.600
<v Speaker 1>loyalty to Komey, who is a lanky clown show Okay,

0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:22.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean Komi is a jerk, a jerk who put

0:38:22.960 --> 0:38:30.360
<v Speaker 1>himself in the center of incredibly politically sensitive situations and

0:38:30.520 --> 0:38:34.279
<v Speaker 1>did so knowingly and willfully and somehow always came out

0:38:34.320 --> 0:38:38.080
<v Speaker 1>on the Democrat side of things, all right. Hillary was

0:38:38.120 --> 0:38:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the candidate of the establishment and the institutions of the bureaucracy,

0:38:44.360 --> 0:38:47.359
<v Speaker 1>all right, Hillary was the status quo for people who

0:38:47.400 --> 0:38:49.960
<v Speaker 1>think that they're really important in the government, and in

0:38:50.040 --> 0:38:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the government that's there forever not the elected government. So

0:38:53.680 --> 0:38:57.520
<v Speaker 1>they went with her their previous partisan affiliations. People say, oh,

0:38:57.600 --> 0:39:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Republicans like Muller and Republican like Homey, that's nothing. Republicans

0:39:02.520 --> 0:39:05.480
<v Speaker 1>hate Trump as much as any leftists. In many cases,

0:39:06.040 --> 0:39:11.719
<v Speaker 1>the never Trump Republicans hate Trump like nobody else. And

0:39:11.840 --> 0:39:14.239
<v Speaker 1>that's what you had with McCabe. But never Trump Republican.

0:39:14.280 --> 0:39:17.799
<v Speaker 1>But you have these stories that are starting to come

0:39:17.840 --> 0:39:21.560
<v Speaker 1>out now, and we're really seeing that these individuals who

0:39:21.719 --> 0:39:28.080
<v Speaker 1>held incredibly powerful roles in the government were whacko. They're

0:39:28.160 --> 0:39:33.000
<v Speaker 1>not reasonable, they're not rational when it comes to Trump,

0:39:33.360 --> 0:39:35.799
<v Speaker 1>the limits of their power, the importance of their role

0:39:35.840 --> 0:39:40.800
<v Speaker 1>in the government. They were drunk with power. They were maniacs. Really,

0:39:41.320 --> 0:39:43.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean that McCabe's story that should should send a

0:39:43.920 --> 0:39:46.439
<v Speaker 1>chill down your spine. My friends. This is a guy

0:39:46.480 --> 0:39:50.040
<v Speaker 1>who is determining who the FBI, the eye of soroon

0:39:50.160 --> 0:39:53.040
<v Speaker 1>of the federal government, would turn on at any given time.

0:39:54.520 --> 0:39:58.160
<v Speaker 1>And you think that you think that the first time

0:39:58.200 --> 0:40:02.680
<v Speaker 1>that his own personal anim came to bear was over

0:40:02.800 --> 0:40:08.680
<v Speaker 1>James Comey, No way. This guy has been playing the

0:40:08.880 --> 0:40:12.040
<v Speaker 1>partisan actor. He's been doing people dirty, as we say

0:40:12.040 --> 0:40:15.560
<v Speaker 1>in the law enforcement business for a long time. I

0:40:15.640 --> 0:40:18.960
<v Speaker 1>assure you of it. I assure you of it. And

0:40:19.080 --> 0:40:23.640
<v Speaker 1>you have this also national security lawyer. I forget what

0:40:23.680 --> 0:40:25.440
<v Speaker 1>her role was. I think she might have been at

0:40:25.440 --> 0:40:28.520
<v Speaker 1>the NSC or the one of these, one of these

0:40:28.640 --> 0:40:37.520
<v Speaker 1>national security outfits, Samantha Vinograd from CNN. She goes on TV.

0:40:37.760 --> 0:40:40.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, McCabe is obviously a whack as obviously a

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:44.040
<v Speaker 1>whack of do Vinograd CNN loves. CNN has gotten all

0:40:44.080 --> 0:40:49.279
<v Speaker 1>these just these Hillary prototypes, these Hillary bots to go

0:40:49.360 --> 0:40:52.520
<v Speaker 1>on TV. You know these people and I don't mean

0:40:52.560 --> 0:40:54.480
<v Speaker 1>because they're women. I mean, and you know, it's the

0:40:54.520 --> 0:40:58.560
<v Speaker 1>guy the one of looks like Pajama Boy from the FBI,

0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:02.279
<v Speaker 1>who was Comey's he was basically Comey's coffee boy. You know,

0:41:02.840 --> 0:41:08.920
<v Speaker 1>he's on at CNN all the time now. And Vinograd,

0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know her, but I've seen her pop

0:41:11.280 --> 0:41:14.640
<v Speaker 1>up a few times. The Asha Rangappa, who makes a

0:41:14.719 --> 0:41:17.320
<v Speaker 1>fool of herself publicly all that says idiotic things and

0:41:17.440 --> 0:41:20.000
<v Speaker 1>c A end just collapsed for she teaches at Yale.

0:41:20.000 --> 0:41:24.799
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't mean anything teaches on counter terrorism or something there.

0:41:24.840 --> 0:41:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's all it's all nonsense. These people don't

0:41:27.640 --> 0:41:29.960
<v Speaker 1>actually have any real knowledge. And you know, there's knowledge

0:41:29.960 --> 0:41:32.279
<v Speaker 1>and there's judgment too, right, judgment is part of the

0:41:32.280 --> 0:41:35.520
<v Speaker 1>application of knowledge. You can know some stuff but always

0:41:35.560 --> 0:41:39.040
<v Speaker 1>make poor decisions and not be very useful as a teacher,

0:41:39.120 --> 0:41:41.880
<v Speaker 1>not be very useful as a as an analyst. But

0:41:42.000 --> 0:41:46.440
<v Speaker 1>here's CNN's Sam Vinograd again on this. These people are nuts,

0:41:46.480 --> 0:41:50.480
<v Speaker 1>They're wackos. Play seven. Is that investigation still ongoing? The

0:41:50.600 --> 0:41:53.399
<v Speaker 1>CAPE has said that the president's moves to undercut Rush

0:41:53.480 --> 0:41:57.960
<v Speaker 1>related investigations, to believe Ladimir Putin over his intelligence community

0:41:57.960 --> 0:42:02.439
<v Speaker 1>to make personnel decisions based upon Russia related matters all

0:42:02.520 --> 0:42:04.759
<v Speaker 1>led to this investigation. Mkate would have laid that out

0:42:04.800 --> 0:42:06.959
<v Speaker 1>before the Gang of Eight, But just in the past

0:42:07.000 --> 0:42:10.040
<v Speaker 1>few days, the counterintelligence red flags are flying a lot

0:42:10.120 --> 0:42:13.959
<v Speaker 1>higher than they did, arguably when this investigation was first launched.

0:42:14.000 --> 0:42:16.600
<v Speaker 1>So it is entirely possible, Kate that the Gang of

0:42:16.640 --> 0:42:19.719
<v Speaker 1>Eight has been briefed on an ongoing investigation because that

0:42:19.800 --> 0:42:23.000
<v Speaker 1>hasn't concluded, and that other members of the US government

0:42:23.080 --> 0:42:26.840
<v Speaker 1>were briefed before, like the director of the CIA, Mike Pompey,

0:42:26.840 --> 0:42:30.080
<v Speaker 1>who's now Secretary of State, and that this on investigation

0:42:30.160 --> 0:42:32.880
<v Speaker 1>is continuing, and there is still a chance that Vladimir

0:42:32.920 --> 0:42:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Putin is controlling the White House. Still a chance this

0:42:38.160 --> 0:42:41.400
<v Speaker 1>woman's on TV held up as an expert. Still a

0:42:41.480 --> 0:42:43.880
<v Speaker 1>chance that Vladimir Putin is controlling the White House. I mean,

0:42:44.120 --> 0:42:46.839
<v Speaker 1>is she a moron? I don't mean, I'm not trying

0:42:46.880 --> 0:42:49.040
<v Speaker 1>to be mean. I actually is she just really not bright?

0:42:50.400 --> 0:42:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's still a chance that she's a space

0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:56.040
<v Speaker 1>alien and we just haven't run the DNA testing to

0:42:56.160 --> 0:42:58.399
<v Speaker 1>know that she's made to look and sound and talk

0:42:58.440 --> 0:43:01.600
<v Speaker 1>rugye human, but she's really a space alien. There's a chance.

0:43:02.160 --> 0:43:06.239
<v Speaker 1>Can you prove it? I can't prove it. This is

0:43:06.280 --> 0:43:13.839
<v Speaker 1>how silly these people have become. This is how ridiculous

0:43:14.520 --> 0:43:19.680
<v Speaker 1>they are. And it's not just the people that are

0:43:19.719 --> 0:43:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the analysts that are going on trying to magnify what

0:43:23.200 --> 0:43:28.680
<v Speaker 1>the praetorian anti trumpsters we're doing and saying it's in

0:43:28.719 --> 0:43:33.759
<v Speaker 1>their own words, Andy McCabe, I mean, the investigation by

0:43:33.800 --> 0:43:35.719
<v Speaker 1>the Muller team is going to end next week. I've

0:43:35.760 --> 0:43:37.960
<v Speaker 1>been telling you now for the last couple of weeks,

0:43:38.000 --> 0:43:40.560
<v Speaker 1>it's about to end because I have good sources here

0:43:40.600 --> 0:43:43.040
<v Speaker 1>in DC, and I knew that this was where this

0:43:43.200 --> 0:43:45.680
<v Speaker 1>was heading. Those of you listen to the show know this.

0:43:46.440 --> 0:43:51.040
<v Speaker 1>So McCabe was asked if he thinks Trump is a

0:43:51.120 --> 0:43:54.359
<v Speaker 1>Russian asset. And now understand, an asset is somebody who

0:43:54.480 --> 0:43:57.560
<v Speaker 1>is wittingly or unwittingly in the control of a foreign power.

0:43:58.760 --> 0:44:01.520
<v Speaker 1>So the only way that Trump could be an asset

0:44:01.560 --> 0:44:04.959
<v Speaker 1>of the Russian government is if the Russians were straight

0:44:05.040 --> 0:44:09.080
<v Speaker 1>up saying, hey, this is Vlad Putin do this thing

0:44:09.719 --> 0:44:12.880
<v Speaker 1>because I said so and he does it. Or if

0:44:12.920 --> 0:44:17.240
<v Speaker 1>the Russians had put a senior person close to Trump

0:44:17.320 --> 0:44:21.120
<v Speaker 1>or in Trump's orbit, who would give Trump, you know,

0:44:21.239 --> 0:44:23.439
<v Speaker 1>their orders and Trump would you know, essentially a false

0:44:23.480 --> 0:44:27.440
<v Speaker 1>flag situation, that would be an unwitting asset. Anyone who

0:44:27.480 --> 0:44:29.680
<v Speaker 1>believes either one of those things about this president is

0:44:29.719 --> 0:44:33.480
<v Speaker 1>an idiot, is an idiot, you know who believes it,

0:44:33.760 --> 0:44:35.560
<v Speaker 1>or at least wants to keep open the door to it.

0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:37.840
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not gonna say no A d one A don't.

0:44:38.280 --> 0:44:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I might and I might not. You know, this is

0:44:39.680 --> 0:44:41.600
<v Speaker 1>where Andy McCabe is on this stuff. This is what

0:44:41.640 --> 0:44:44.839
<v Speaker 1>he said when asked about this play clip for do

0:44:44.880 --> 0:44:47.680
<v Speaker 1>you still believe the president could be a Russian asset?

0:44:48.800 --> 0:44:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it's possible. I think that's why we started

0:44:51.320 --> 0:44:55.240
<v Speaker 1>our investigation, and I'm really anxious to see where Director

0:44:55.320 --> 0:45:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Muller concludes that it's possible. Huh No, it's not, you jerk.

0:45:02.920 --> 0:45:05.560
<v Speaker 1>What a horrible thing to say. By the way, what

0:45:05.719 --> 0:45:14.200
<v Speaker 1>a horrifically nasty, undermining, untrue smear. Make no mistake about it.

0:45:15.239 --> 0:45:19.760
<v Speaker 1>This is the former acting director of the Federal Bureau

0:45:19.760 --> 0:45:26.279
<v Speaker 1>of Investigation smearing the president with the insinuation that he

0:45:26.440 --> 0:45:31.320
<v Speaker 1>is a traitor, a traitor to the United States. This president,

0:45:31.520 --> 0:45:36.279
<v Speaker 1>the president who loves America and is pro America and

0:45:36.360 --> 0:45:39.040
<v Speaker 1>says America first, and all he wants to do is

0:45:39.400 --> 0:45:43.840
<v Speaker 1>create prosperity and implement policies that will benefit all Americans,

0:45:43.880 --> 0:45:46.359
<v Speaker 1>even the Americans too stupid to know that the things

0:45:46.360 --> 0:45:47.800
<v Speaker 1>that he's trying to do are good for them and

0:45:47.880 --> 0:45:53.680
<v Speaker 1>are the right thing. That president is a traitor, maybe,

0:45:54.680 --> 0:45:56.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean this would be like this is like,

0:45:56.880 --> 0:46:00.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, a journalist writing the story about somebody that

0:46:00.719 --> 0:46:03.960
<v Speaker 1>is so and so a pedophile question Mark well, I

0:46:04.000 --> 0:46:06.360
<v Speaker 1>put a question mark there, so I'm not I'm not

0:46:06.520 --> 0:46:08.920
<v Speaker 1>saying this guy's a pedophile. I'm just saying maybe he's

0:46:08.920 --> 0:46:14.839
<v Speaker 1>a pedophile because there's a question mark. Disgusting, unethical, immoral.

0:46:15.280 --> 0:46:19.279
<v Speaker 1>These people should be shamed out of the public out

0:46:19.280 --> 0:46:23.160
<v Speaker 1>of the public square. These people should be treated with

0:46:23.239 --> 0:46:29.359
<v Speaker 1>the ignominious disdain that they deserve. Instead, the media wants

0:46:29.400 --> 0:46:31.440
<v Speaker 1>to lionize them. The media wants to treat them like

0:46:31.440 --> 0:46:35.319
<v Speaker 1>they are truth tellers. No, they're nuts. Normal people could

0:46:35.440 --> 0:46:41.400
<v Speaker 1>not believe the things that McCabe and Vinagrad and Rangapa

0:46:41.400 --> 0:46:44.520
<v Speaker 1>and these others at CNN and elsewhere that they think

0:46:44.560 --> 0:46:46.640
<v Speaker 1>and go on TV and say. Normal people could not

0:46:46.719 --> 0:46:53.000
<v Speaker 1>believe this. Only people who are dishonest or stupid. I

0:46:53.239 --> 0:46:56.480
<v Speaker 1>don't have a third explanation. And I just want us

0:46:56.480 --> 0:46:58.640
<v Speaker 1>all to remember this. When the mullarport drops and there

0:46:58.680 --> 0:47:01.279
<v Speaker 1>is no collusion, and they all, all these people that

0:47:01.320 --> 0:47:03.480
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be in the public the public eye, that

0:47:03.600 --> 0:47:05.480
<v Speaker 1>want the attention on CNN, that want to do all this,

0:47:05.560 --> 0:47:09.120
<v Speaker 1>they're going to scurry out of the light like cockroaches

0:47:09.680 --> 0:47:14.040
<v Speaker 1>fleeing your flashlight in the basement. I don't know collusion.

0:47:14.080 --> 0:47:16.319
<v Speaker 1>I know there's no collusion, and then they'll come right

0:47:16.360 --> 0:47:20.000
<v Speaker 1>back out. Then then the roaches will gather again, want

0:47:20.040 --> 0:47:21.520
<v Speaker 1>to be right on it, you know, right in the

0:47:21.520 --> 0:47:25.000
<v Speaker 1>spotlight on CNN. Then they'll want to gather again when

0:47:25.040 --> 0:47:27.239
<v Speaker 1>it's time to talk about the Southern District of New

0:47:27.320 --> 0:47:30.560
<v Speaker 1>York or the time some other investment Trump's tax returns.

0:47:30.600 --> 0:47:34.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're supposed to believe them on that. I'd

0:47:34.160 --> 0:47:37.000
<v Speaker 1>ask you this, why would these same media organizations and

0:47:37.040 --> 0:47:41.720
<v Speaker 1>the same media analysts who were too dumb to figure

0:47:41.760 --> 0:47:44.640
<v Speaker 1>out that Jesse Smollett was a hoax? Why do we

0:47:44.719 --> 0:47:48.359
<v Speaker 1>think that they're better and more trustworthy and more unbiased

0:47:49.400 --> 0:47:52.279
<v Speaker 1>on the issue of Russia collusion. Does anyone want to

0:47:52.280 --> 0:47:55.440
<v Speaker 1>take a shot at that one, a much more complicated,

0:47:55.480 --> 0:47:57.719
<v Speaker 1>a much higher stake story. The answers, we shouldn't trust

0:47:57.760 --> 0:48:01.640
<v Speaker 1>them on any of that. The answer is the media

0:48:01.719 --> 0:48:03.000
<v Speaker 1>is never going to be the same, and that's a

0:48:03.000 --> 0:48:08.880
<v Speaker 1>good thing. You know. It's in politics and every campaign

0:48:08.880 --> 0:48:10.719
<v Speaker 1>I've been onced of going back to nineteen eighty two,

0:48:10.760 --> 0:48:13.200
<v Speaker 1>you're told that their opponent at X did why did

0:48:13.280 --> 0:48:15.880
<v Speaker 1>zey and he's a terrible guy, did drugs, he's a criminal,

0:48:16.400 --> 0:48:19.120
<v Speaker 1>And you have to vet this stuff because hardly ever

0:48:19.280 --> 0:48:21.560
<v Speaker 1>is it true. But people make things up about people

0:48:21.600 --> 0:48:25.160
<v Speaker 1>in politics. You would think the FBI would be immune

0:48:25.200 --> 0:48:27.240
<v Speaker 1>from that. At the top level. I think the FBI

0:48:27.400 --> 0:48:30.600
<v Speaker 1>bought in on every worst scenario, worst case argument about

0:48:30.680 --> 0:48:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump, and they believe it the way a partisan

0:48:32.960 --> 0:48:35.360
<v Speaker 1>believes and not the way a neutral fact finding a

0:48:35.400 --> 0:48:37.920
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement officers shouldn't believe it. So I think they

0:48:37.920 --> 0:48:40.439
<v Speaker 1>were driven by animus and it shows up in their

0:48:40.680 --> 0:48:42.920
<v Speaker 1>in their tweets, I mean, in their emails that were

0:48:42.920 --> 0:48:46.319
<v Speaker 1>now disclosed. It shows up in their approach. For Andy

0:48:46.400 --> 0:48:48.719
<v Speaker 1>McCabe to this day to say that he can't rule

0:48:48.719 --> 0:48:50.279
<v Speaker 1>out that the president of the United States is a

0:48:50.360 --> 0:48:53.239
<v Speaker 1>Russian asset, doesn't that tell you a lot about Andy

0:48:53.360 --> 0:49:00.120
<v Speaker 1>McCabe's bad judgment. Ari Fleicher is absolutely correct, and he's

0:49:00.120 --> 0:49:04.759
<v Speaker 1>really selling me more on the in my whole x

0:49:05.040 --> 0:49:10.480
<v Speaker 1>y axes of stupid versus dishonest. I think that increasingly

0:49:11.239 --> 0:49:13.680
<v Speaker 1>some of these senior government figures, and the reason they're

0:49:13.719 --> 0:49:16.000
<v Speaker 1>so nasty about this and they've dug in so deep,

0:49:16.160 --> 0:49:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the reason McCabe and combing others, is they're actually not

0:49:20.040 --> 0:49:23.759
<v Speaker 1>that smart. They did get fooled by some of this,

0:49:23.920 --> 0:49:27.319
<v Speaker 1>some of it was driven by animus and just their

0:49:27.400 --> 0:49:32.000
<v Speaker 1>disdain for the president, but also they were fooled. I

0:49:32.040 --> 0:49:35.839
<v Speaker 1>think I do think that in the early stages they

0:49:35.920 --> 0:49:40.480
<v Speaker 1>believe that they were uncovering some international conspiracy between Trump

0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:46.960
<v Speaker 1>and the Russians to essentially run this Manchurian candidate all

0:49:47.000 --> 0:49:49.400
<v Speaker 1>the way up into the White House on behalf of

0:49:49.400 --> 0:49:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the Kremlin. I think that some of them kind of

0:49:51.480 --> 0:49:55.799
<v Speaker 1>believe that, as insane as that is, which really just

0:49:55.880 --> 0:49:59.160
<v Speaker 1>goes to they're not that smart. They're not that smart,

0:49:59.280 --> 0:50:01.759
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you in a lot of these government agencies,

0:50:02.719 --> 0:50:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of the cream does not rise to the top. Some

0:50:06.200 --> 0:50:10.360
<v Speaker 1>of the worst people in them, In fact, the most sociopathic,

0:50:10.800 --> 0:50:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the nastiest bureaucratic, infighters, the ones who just play the

0:50:15.040 --> 0:50:18.799
<v Speaker 1>internal politics the best and will throw their colleagues under

0:50:18.800 --> 0:50:20.919
<v Speaker 1>the bus and will take credit that others are due,

0:50:20.960 --> 0:50:24.600
<v Speaker 1>and all those are the people that often elevate themselves

0:50:24.600 --> 0:50:28.120
<v Speaker 1>within a bureaucracy because excellence in a bureaucracy, I can

0:50:28.200 --> 0:50:33.200
<v Speaker 1>tell you from having worked with the CIA, excellence is questionable.

0:50:34.120 --> 0:50:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Excellence is suspect. You don't want to go beyond what

0:50:38.600 --> 0:50:41.520
<v Speaker 1>is expected of you in any role, because you're making

0:50:41.520 --> 0:50:43.319
<v Speaker 1>the other people who just want to show up and

0:50:43.320 --> 0:50:47.120
<v Speaker 1>do the minimum look bad. They don't like excellence. So

0:50:47.160 --> 0:50:51.719
<v Speaker 1>the kind of people in that environment that rise are

0:50:51.800 --> 0:50:56.719
<v Speaker 1>people like Andy McCabe, and they are very bitter the

0:50:56.800 --> 0:50:59.600
<v Speaker 1>moment that they're confronted with this reality, the moment that

0:50:59.640 --> 0:51:02.279
<v Speaker 1>they're funded with the prospect that much of what they

0:51:02.400 --> 0:51:05.520
<v Speaker 1>believed about themselves they may be frauds. In a way.

0:51:06.600 --> 0:51:08.960
<v Speaker 1>They're not the guardians of the Republic that they pretend

0:51:09.040 --> 0:51:11.319
<v Speaker 1>to be. They're just somebody shown up doing a job,

0:51:12.320 --> 0:51:14.160
<v Speaker 1>and some of them don't do it nearly as ethically

0:51:14.200 --> 0:51:21.239
<v Speaker 1>as they should. McCabe, for example, has fallen back on this,

0:51:23.200 --> 0:51:26.640
<v Speaker 1>has fallen back on this storyline that the reason that

0:51:26.640 --> 0:51:29.279
<v Speaker 1>there are inconsistencies, which is another way another way of

0:51:29.280 --> 0:51:32.800
<v Speaker 1>saying someone's lying between his version of events and Coomey's

0:51:32.880 --> 0:51:35.520
<v Speaker 1>version of events, is because you know, they were just

0:51:35.600 --> 0:51:39.200
<v Speaker 1>really stressed out playclip three. These comments about the twenty

0:51:39.200 --> 0:51:41.279
<v Speaker 1>fifth Amendment and about wearing a wire have been a

0:51:41.320 --> 0:51:45.560
<v Speaker 1>little bit distracting, but nevertheless, we were all operating under

0:51:45.680 --> 0:51:48.520
<v Speaker 1>incredible stress. You know, you have to remember, Savannah, this

0:51:48.600 --> 0:51:52.239
<v Speaker 1>came at an incredibly stressful time to be fair, it

0:51:52.320 --> 0:51:55.840
<v Speaker 1>was an unbelievably stressful time. I can't even describe for

0:51:55.920 --> 0:51:58.400
<v Speaker 1>you how many things must have been coursing through the

0:51:58.440 --> 0:52:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Deputy Attorney General's mind at that point. It is understandable

0:52:01.520 --> 0:52:04.279
<v Speaker 1>he was an under an enormous amount of stress at

0:52:04.280 --> 0:52:08.680
<v Speaker 1>the time. The point is the stress and the complexity

0:52:08.760 --> 0:52:10.919
<v Speaker 1>of the issues that we were discussing at the time.

0:52:11.040 --> 0:52:15.799
<v Speaker 1>I can't describe to you accurately enough the pressure and

0:52:15.920 --> 0:52:19.319
<v Speaker 1>the chaos. So you can see that in those conditions,

0:52:19.560 --> 0:52:25.440
<v Speaker 1>those incredibly stressful times, it was incredibly turbulent, incredibly stressful,

0:52:25.560 --> 0:52:27.560
<v Speaker 1>and it was clear to me that that stress was

0:52:28.560 --> 0:52:34.960
<v Speaker 1>impacting the Deputy Attorney General. Incredibly stressful, so much stress.

0:52:35.360 --> 0:52:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh my, how could we handle? This? Guy's the head

0:52:38.480 --> 0:52:43.279
<v Speaker 1>of the FBI. When Coley gets fired, this is this

0:52:43.360 --> 0:52:47.040
<v Speaker 1>is the best that he can do. I mean, he

0:52:47.120 --> 0:52:51.360
<v Speaker 1>has the ability to ruin lives based on his discretion,

0:52:51.400 --> 0:52:53.840
<v Speaker 1>and we're supposed to believe that he can't tell the truth,

0:52:54.719 --> 0:52:58.040
<v Speaker 1>or rather, in addition to that, we're supposed to believe

0:52:58.840 --> 0:53:01.680
<v Speaker 1>that he got a little too worked up because the stress,

0:53:01.840 --> 0:53:04.080
<v Speaker 1>so he thought about a coup against the president of

0:53:04.080 --> 0:53:09.440
<v Speaker 1>the United States. Does he think that we're all imbeciles,

0:53:10.320 --> 0:53:13.359
<v Speaker 1>or is he just a phony, a fraud and a loon.

0:53:14.040 --> 0:53:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Stupid question. That is a stupid question, because I think

0:53:18.160 --> 0:53:22.719
<v Speaker 1>it's both. This is who we're supposed to believe, This

0:53:22.800 --> 0:53:25.880
<v Speaker 1>is who we're supposed to think is just fine, and

0:53:26.440 --> 0:53:30.040
<v Speaker 1>we're supposed to think we should have trusted all this time.

0:53:31.000 --> 0:53:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Look at the people that have left and are going

0:53:35.640 --> 0:53:38.600
<v Speaker 1>out there making this case against Trump. Do you ever

0:53:38.600 --> 0:53:45.120
<v Speaker 1>respect for any of them? Coomy, McCabe, Struck, Brannan Clapper.

0:53:46.040 --> 0:53:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Have any of them acquitted themselves as men of honor

0:53:50.760 --> 0:53:54.840
<v Speaker 1>as as people of integrity? Do any of them look

0:53:54.880 --> 0:53:58.440
<v Speaker 1>like they were non partisan actors in their jobs, that

0:53:58.520 --> 0:54:01.480
<v Speaker 1>they were just about the mission first and about serving

0:54:01.520 --> 0:54:05.799
<v Speaker 1>the president, whoever the president may be. They have not

0:54:05.960 --> 0:54:10.239
<v Speaker 1>only disgraced themselves. I think they have done tremendous damage.

0:54:10.800 --> 0:54:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Came Brandon Clapper, mcabe, the whole squad. They've done tremendous

0:54:14.719 --> 0:54:20.000
<v Speaker 1>damage to the institutions that they once led. Now future

0:54:20.040 --> 0:54:26.040
<v Speaker 1>presidents would be foolish not to consider the political affiliation

0:54:26.200 --> 0:54:28.880
<v Speaker 1>of the people that are the senior most advisors and

0:54:28.920 --> 0:54:33.040
<v Speaker 1>decision makers from these agencies. They'd be foolish not to

0:54:33.080 --> 0:54:35.800
<v Speaker 1>think about that, especially if they're a conservative, they're a

0:54:35.840 --> 0:54:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Republican because they know that the deep Staters are of

0:54:41.160 --> 0:54:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the state, and that means they're going to be Democrat leaning,

0:54:45.520 --> 0:54:53.080
<v Speaker 1>if not Democrat activists, if not hardcore lefties. This is

0:54:53.360 --> 0:54:56.839
<v Speaker 1>very troubling for the future of how these organizations will

0:54:56.880 --> 0:55:00.840
<v Speaker 1>interact with White Houses, and and I think that we

0:55:00.880 --> 0:55:02.960
<v Speaker 1>should do it. We should really have a full accounting

0:55:03.000 --> 0:55:05.800
<v Speaker 1>of this, and I'm hoping that there will be justice,

0:55:05.840 --> 0:55:11.120
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not going to hold my breath. Abandoning the

0:55:11.400 --> 0:55:15.160
<v Speaker 1>high speed rail entirely means we will have wasted billions

0:55:15.200 --> 0:55:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and billions of dollars with nothing but broken promises, partially

0:55:20.120 --> 0:55:24.440
<v Speaker 1>fulfilled commitments, and lawsuits to show for it. With all

0:55:24.480 --> 0:55:28.200
<v Speaker 1>due respect, I have no interest in sending back three

0:55:28.239 --> 0:55:31.319
<v Speaker 1>and a half billion dollars of federal funding that was

0:55:31.360 --> 0:55:37.000
<v Speaker 1>allocated to this project to President Donald Trump. So the

0:55:37.280 --> 0:55:44.080
<v Speaker 1>high speed rail dream in California is being abandoned. It's

0:55:44.120 --> 0:55:47.280
<v Speaker 1>being abandoned because, as we mentioned earlier, I think this week,

0:55:48.000 --> 0:55:53.200
<v Speaker 1>it is wildly over budget, it has dramatically underperformed, and

0:55:53.239 --> 0:55:57.200
<v Speaker 1>it has run into all of the problems that you

0:55:57.320 --> 0:56:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and I are quite aware come up when you're leading

0:56:00.320 --> 0:56:03.600
<v Speaker 1>things like this to the government that in our current

0:56:03.640 --> 0:56:08.600
<v Speaker 1>climate of environmentalist groups and activists and all kinds of

0:56:08.640 --> 0:56:15.040
<v Speaker 1>regulation and just the Democrat Party running California as a

0:56:15.280 --> 0:56:19.960
<v Speaker 1>subsidiary of the DNC. I mean, the Democrats own California.

0:56:20.520 --> 0:56:24.200
<v Speaker 1>It's a one party state that when they're in charge

0:56:24.239 --> 0:56:26.720
<v Speaker 1>of something like this, even something that they are really

0:56:26.800 --> 0:56:32.839
<v Speaker 1>passionate about, they do a bad job. They can't get

0:56:32.840 --> 0:56:37.319
<v Speaker 1>it done, they can't make the numbers work. And I

0:56:37.440 --> 0:56:39.640
<v Speaker 1>know for a lot of you're like, well, Buck, although

0:56:39.640 --> 0:56:43.000
<v Speaker 1>we have a very very robust audience out in California,

0:56:43.080 --> 0:56:45.239
<v Speaker 1>what's up, Callie, Thank you for listening to the Buck

0:56:45.280 --> 0:56:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Sexton Show. But this is I think for anybody who's

0:56:50.800 --> 0:56:54.000
<v Speaker 1>being honest, this has to be an indicator of what

0:56:54.080 --> 0:56:59.320
<v Speaker 1>our expectations should be when the government takes on massive

0:56:59.400 --> 0:57:02.880
<v Speaker 1>projects that would be much better handled by the private

0:57:02.920 --> 0:57:08.640
<v Speaker 1>sector or the market as free as we can make it. Right,

0:57:08.920 --> 0:57:10.880
<v Speaker 1>the same people that will look at you now and

0:57:11.000 --> 0:57:18.400
<v Speaker 1>say that we have a situation of healthcare that needs

0:57:18.400 --> 0:57:22.520
<v Speaker 1>to be addressed by the government don't seem to understand.

0:57:23.840 --> 0:57:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Don't seem to understand that the government more involved in

0:57:27.760 --> 0:57:29.760
<v Speaker 1>healthcare is going to make it more expensive and more

0:57:29.800 --> 0:57:34.200
<v Speaker 1>inefficient because the incentive structure, and this really goes also

0:57:34.240 --> 0:57:36.560
<v Speaker 1>to the heart of the problem we have with the

0:57:36.640 --> 0:57:39.320
<v Speaker 1>rise of socialism in this country. The incentive structure is

0:57:39.360 --> 0:57:45.640
<v Speaker 1>just wrong. Government does not have the same interest in

0:57:46.080 --> 0:57:51.720
<v Speaker 1>creating a high speed rail as people that can do

0:57:51.800 --> 0:57:54.280
<v Speaker 1>this and that will try to make a profit for themselves.

0:57:54.320 --> 0:57:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Often I'm not saying they have no incentive, right, the

0:57:56.800 --> 0:57:58.840
<v Speaker 1>government's incentive is to do what it says it's going

0:57:58.880 --> 0:58:02.080
<v Speaker 1>to do, or else payers get annoyed, and maybe some

0:58:02.120 --> 0:58:05.360
<v Speaker 1>people get voted out. But it's a very inexact, a

0:58:05.480 --> 0:58:10.960
<v Speaker 1>very murky accountability situation. Whereas if you're the investor, if

0:58:10.960 --> 0:58:12.560
<v Speaker 1>you're the one putting money in the line, you want

0:58:12.560 --> 0:58:14.600
<v Speaker 1>to get this rail system built, you want to make

0:58:14.640 --> 0:58:19.600
<v Speaker 1>sure that it functions properly. You know, obviously you have

0:58:19.680 --> 0:58:23.840
<v Speaker 1>a more acute sense of what your incentives are, and

0:58:23.960 --> 0:58:27.880
<v Speaker 1>that really matters. But California doesn't want to learn its

0:58:27.960 --> 0:58:29.720
<v Speaker 1>lesson here. The rest of the country doesn't want to

0:58:29.760 --> 0:58:34.320
<v Speaker 1>learn its lesson. They still like this myth that the

0:58:34.400 --> 0:58:37.400
<v Speaker 1>government is effective and efficient and will do things better.

0:58:37.440 --> 0:58:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the big lie about our healthcare system right

0:58:39.960 --> 0:58:44.680
<v Speaker 1>now is that if we only gave more control to

0:58:44.720 --> 0:58:47.360
<v Speaker 1>the government, we would get better healthcare and it would

0:58:47.400 --> 0:58:51.360
<v Speaker 1>be a more efficient system, and that even though people

0:58:51.400 --> 0:58:54.000
<v Speaker 1>would have to pay a lot more in taxes. That's

0:58:54.080 --> 0:58:56.640
<v Speaker 1>middle class folks. If you're listening to this and you

0:58:56.720 --> 0:59:01.760
<v Speaker 1>make fortied one hundred twenty thousand dollars a year or

0:59:01.800 --> 0:59:04.320
<v Speaker 1>thirty five to one hundred and twenty thousand dollars a year,

0:59:05.000 --> 0:59:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna pay a lot more in taxes with the

0:59:07.040 --> 0:59:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Medicare for All program. Just wait. But they'd say, oh no,

0:59:10.840 --> 0:59:13.920
<v Speaker 1>it'll be more effective, it'll be better. You'll save more

0:59:13.960 --> 0:59:16.200
<v Speaker 1>on your healthcare costs than you'll pay out in taxes.

0:59:17.120 --> 0:59:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Don't believe them. They're wrong. But unfortunately they also never

0:59:22.600 --> 0:59:28.800
<v Speaker 1>ever learn their lesson Bernie Sanders, speaking of socialism and

0:59:28.880 --> 0:59:32.760
<v Speaker 1>government projects, Bernie Sanders, who run those so cuddly. He

0:59:32.800 --> 0:59:35.120
<v Speaker 1>just wants to go around and give everybody free stuff,

0:59:35.360 --> 0:59:38.800
<v Speaker 1>free school, free college, free healthcare. It's gonna be amazing.

0:59:40.000 --> 0:59:42.120
<v Speaker 1>He's so in New York and yet he's so Vermont

0:59:42.160 --> 0:59:46.480
<v Speaker 1>at the same time. It's very interesting. But Bernie Sanders,

0:59:46.960 --> 0:59:49.960
<v Speaker 1>you may recall, because now we're being told, ooh, he's

0:59:49.960 --> 0:59:52.800
<v Speaker 1>a democratic socialist. He's not one of the scary socialists

0:59:52.800 --> 0:59:55.280
<v Speaker 1>that puts too much control in government hands. He went

0:59:55.320 --> 0:59:59.640
<v Speaker 1>to the Soviet Union in nineteen eighty eight. Not Russia, folks,

1:00:00.160 --> 1:00:04.640
<v Speaker 1>the Soviet Union. He made a trip there and came

1:00:04.720 --> 1:00:09.680
<v Speaker 1>back to the US effusive with his praise of the

1:00:09.720 --> 1:00:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Soviet system. We're just talking about trains in California and

1:00:13.520 --> 1:00:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the costs of the high speed train, and it's been

1:00:15.600 --> 1:00:19.560
<v Speaker 1>totally abandoned there. Guess what someone like Bernie Sanders is

1:00:19.600 --> 1:00:22.840
<v Speaker 1>going to tell you, Oh, if only the government was

1:00:22.920 --> 1:00:26.120
<v Speaker 1>running transportation, the government was running that transportation. For only

1:00:26.120 --> 1:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the government was running transportation like they do in the

1:00:28.760 --> 1:00:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Soviet Union, things would be much better. This is a flashback.

1:00:32.280 --> 1:00:35.800
<v Speaker 1>This is the burn back in nineteen eighty eight when

1:00:35.800 --> 1:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>he returned state side talking about Soviet transportation play twenty one.

1:00:41.640 --> 1:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>People here also were extremely impressed by their public transportation system.

1:00:46.640 --> 1:00:52.680
<v Speaker 1>The stations themselves were absolutely beautiful, including many works of art, chandeliers,

1:00:52.680 --> 1:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>the beautiful. It was a very very effective system. Also,

1:00:56.360 --> 1:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I was impressed by the youth programs that they have

1:01:00.160 --> 1:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>their palaces of culture for the young people, a whole

1:01:04.160 --> 1:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>variety of young of programs for young people and cultural

1:01:08.000 --> 1:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>programs which go fob yond what we knew in this country.

1:01:12.000 --> 1:01:16.920
<v Speaker 1>We went to a theater in Yaroslavl which was absolutely beautiful,

1:01:16.960 --> 1:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>had three separate stages where cultural programs are put on

1:01:20.520 --> 1:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>by professional actors and actresses, including a puppeteer area and

1:01:25.200 --> 1:01:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the court. The highest price of the ticket that you

1:01:27.440 --> 1:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>can get was the equivalent of a dollar fifty. Bernie

1:01:32.440 --> 1:01:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Sanders there, folks in the late eighties, almost at the

1:01:36.000 --> 1:01:39.600
<v Speaker 1>fall of the Wall, talking about how great the Soviet

1:01:39.680 --> 1:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Union's transportation system is and cultural programs. It's effectively a

1:01:45.040 --> 1:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Soviet propagandist here in the United States. That's what he was,

1:01:48.960 --> 1:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>That's what he's doing. So you can tell me that

1:01:53.280 --> 1:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Bernie's philosophy has changed a lot and he's learned a

1:01:56.520 --> 1:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>lot since then. That was a long time ago. But

1:01:59.720 --> 1:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>how how many of you who were contemporaries of Bernie

1:02:02.680 --> 1:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Sanders thought the Soviet Union was praiseworthy in so many

1:02:06.560 --> 1:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>ways and had great stuff that we should learn from.

1:02:09.840 --> 1:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to guess the answer is zero. I remember,

1:02:14.400 --> 1:02:17.640
<v Speaker 1>during my time in the Middle East, on a couple

1:02:17.640 --> 1:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>of occasions, riding around in some Iraqi vehicles that were fraught.

1:02:23.320 --> 1:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>They were essentially old Soviet vehicles that because you know,

1:02:27.160 --> 1:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the Soviets had sold them to Iraq. And I mean

1:02:31.320 --> 1:02:35.400
<v Speaker 1>these things they looked like a bumper car from the eighties,

1:02:35.840 --> 1:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>but they were meant for a military transport, and they

1:02:38.320 --> 1:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>went about as fast and worked about as well as

1:02:41.280 --> 1:02:43.040
<v Speaker 1>as a bumper car would have. I mean, it was

1:02:43.120 --> 1:02:46.439
<v Speaker 1>just a complete joke what these things were like. And

1:02:46.600 --> 1:02:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the moment you start talking about consumer consumer products and

1:02:50.600 --> 1:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>vehicles and all of this, and you're gonna tell me

1:02:54.760 --> 1:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the Soviet Union had it better. I just at what

1:02:58.120 --> 1:03:01.600
<v Speaker 1>point is this not stupidity but malice. I leave that

1:03:01.680 --> 1:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>to you. And if that's not enough, Bernie Sanders, because

1:03:06.560 --> 1:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>he's so into the extreme equality of the Soviet Union,

1:03:12.480 --> 1:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>which as we know, was actually deeply unequal. If you're

1:03:14.760 --> 1:03:17.080
<v Speaker 1>a member of the Communist Party, you had access to

1:03:17.120 --> 1:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>different food, different healthcare, better housing, better everything than the

1:03:20.920 --> 1:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>rest of the population that was enslaved in misery. But

1:03:27.600 --> 1:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Bernie around that same at that same speech that he

1:03:29.960 --> 1:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>gave there when he came back from missing Soviet Union

1:03:31.960 --> 1:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen eighty eight, he went so far as to

1:03:35.040 --> 1:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>straight up praise I'm not making this up you'll hear

1:03:38.560 --> 1:03:43.160
<v Speaker 1>him praise breadlines. You know, breadlines are very very equal,

1:03:43.280 --> 1:03:46.880
<v Speaker 1>very egalitarian play twenty two. You know, it's funny sometimes

1:03:46.960 --> 1:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>American journalists talk about how bad a country is because

1:03:49.280 --> 1:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>people are lining up for food. That's a good thing.

1:03:53.080 --> 1:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>In other countries, people don't line up for food. The

1:03:55.280 --> 1:03:57.360
<v Speaker 1>rich gets a food and the poor staff to death.

1:03:59.000 --> 1:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Now that's obviously, in the context of America and the West,

1:04:02.520 --> 1:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>a lie. In fact, if you're going to talk about starvation,

1:04:07.400 --> 1:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>you should probably talk about the mass famine in the

1:04:10.680 --> 1:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Soviet Union in the twentieth century, which was a feature,

1:04:15.040 --> 1:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>not a bug, of Soviet policy, starving people in Ukraine,

1:04:20.520 --> 1:04:24.080
<v Speaker 1>starving the Coulocks, who are this independent farmer class. The

1:04:24.200 --> 1:04:27.960
<v Speaker 1>liquidation of the Coulocks done partly through starvation and partly

1:04:28.000 --> 1:04:31.800
<v Speaker 1>through the accesses of the secret police. I wonder if

1:04:31.800 --> 1:04:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Bernie Sanders even knows that history, which is not contested,

1:04:35.960 --> 1:04:38.920
<v Speaker 1>This is not an opinion, this is all fact. I

1:04:38.960 --> 1:04:41.000
<v Speaker 1>wonder if he knows if you're gonna talk about starvation

1:04:41.960 --> 1:04:45.600
<v Speaker 1>in the twentieth century, you would have to look to China,

1:04:45.680 --> 1:04:50.480
<v Speaker 1>to the Soviet Union, to communist states. He thinks that

1:04:50.640 --> 1:04:54.840
<v Speaker 1>breadlines are this was Bernie Sanders himself saying it, I

1:04:54.920 --> 1:04:57.600
<v Speaker 1>don't care. This was a long time ago. Anybody over

1:04:57.640 --> 1:05:00.720
<v Speaker 1>the age of twelve should know that bread lines are

1:05:01.800 --> 1:05:05.760
<v Speaker 1>a disaster, are the result of economic disaster and deprivation.

1:05:06.200 --> 1:05:08.440
<v Speaker 1>He thought that breadlines were something to be proud of.

1:05:09.280 --> 1:05:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Breadlines were a good thing. Now. I understand that the

1:05:14.320 --> 1:05:16.200
<v Speaker 1>argument is going to be that Bernie Sanders has learned

1:05:16.200 --> 1:05:21.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot since then. But has he? Do we really

1:05:21.240 --> 1:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>think that Sanders and Occasio Cortes and others reject the

1:05:27.160 --> 1:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>root fallacies of collectivism and socialism as shown in the

1:05:31.520 --> 1:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Soviet model, or do they just think that they'll do

1:05:34.640 --> 1:05:38.439
<v Speaker 1>it better. The same ideas are good from the Soviet Union,

1:05:38.440 --> 1:05:41.160
<v Speaker 1>but we'll do a better version of that stuff here,

1:05:41.600 --> 1:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>that redistribution here, that collectivism here. Ocazio Cortes made an

1:05:48.040 --> 1:05:55.400
<v Speaker 1>absolute imbecile of herself yesterday when she was applauding, cheering

1:05:56.280 --> 1:05:58.880
<v Speaker 1>for the fact that they scared Amazon out of New

1:05:58.920 --> 1:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>York City. Five thousand jobs gone, All kinds of investment

1:06:04.520 --> 1:06:07.720
<v Speaker 1>and productivity and commerce that would have gone on in

1:06:07.720 --> 1:06:11.479
<v Speaker 1>the Long Island City area of Queens gone. She thinks

1:06:11.520 --> 1:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>this is to be praise. She thinks this is a

1:06:14.680 --> 1:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>cause for celebration. Why oh, because of fairness and stuff?

1:06:22.400 --> 1:06:27.120
<v Speaker 1>What because corporations and exploitation and we don't want that

1:06:27.280 --> 1:06:34.440
<v Speaker 1>here in our city. That strikes me as again wildly ignorant,

1:06:34.440 --> 1:06:36.960
<v Speaker 1>but so ignorant and so stupid that I give her

1:06:37.000 --> 1:06:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the benefit of the doubt and think that there must

1:06:38.880 --> 1:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>be a healthy dose of malice in her analysis. I

1:06:46.720 --> 1:06:50.080
<v Speaker 1>hope that some of the socialists that we see right

1:06:50.080 --> 1:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>now on the scene in America don't really believe some

1:06:53.240 --> 1:06:56.680
<v Speaker 1>of what they say and are merely speaking to the

1:06:56.760 --> 1:06:59.479
<v Speaker 1>left as demagogues. Right, the working definition we can always

1:06:59.560 --> 1:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>use of debt of demagoguery or of demagogues. I think

1:07:03.080 --> 1:07:06.919
<v Speaker 1>this is from Mankin is somebody who says things he

1:07:07.080 --> 1:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>knows to be untrue to a room full of people

1:07:09.560 --> 1:07:12.840
<v Speaker 1>who he knows to be idiots. I hope the left

1:07:12.920 --> 1:07:15.080
<v Speaker 1>is doing that on socialism. I'm not sure that they are.

1:07:16.280 --> 1:07:19.439
<v Speaker 1>I think that there are true believers in their ranks now,

1:07:19.760 --> 1:07:22.120
<v Speaker 1>and we have some of them on record, like Bernie Sanders,

1:07:22.120 --> 1:07:26.439
<v Speaker 1>the most prominent of them, on record saying that breadlines

1:07:27.120 --> 1:07:29.600
<v Speaker 1>show a more equal society than what we have in

1:07:29.640 --> 1:07:34.760
<v Speaker 1>the West. That's trumbling. It's not something we can ignore.

1:07:34.800 --> 1:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>It's not something that we should sweep under the rug,

1:07:37.520 --> 1:07:39.560
<v Speaker 1>and we'll continue to follow this here on the show.

1:07:39.720 --> 1:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back. When I hear the name Tulsi Gabbard,

1:07:46.000 --> 1:07:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I think of Assad apologist. I think of someone who

1:07:49.080 --> 1:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>comes back to United States and is spouting propaganda from Syria.

1:07:52.680 --> 1:07:55.360
<v Speaker 1>You have said that the Syrian president Assad is not

1:07:55.720 --> 1:07:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the enemy of the United States, yet he's used chemical

1:07:58.240 --> 1:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>weapons against his own people three hundred times. That was

1:08:00.440 --> 1:08:03.760
<v Speaker 1>a red line with President Obama. That is not our enemy.

1:08:04.160 --> 1:08:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Thirteen million Syrians have been displaced. So when you say

1:08:07.120 --> 1:08:10.800
<v Speaker 1>regime change is hurtful for the country, but gassing children

1:08:10.960 --> 1:08:14.200
<v Speaker 1>isn't more hurtful, It's hard for me to understand where

1:08:14.240 --> 1:08:16.680
<v Speaker 1>you come from a humanitarian standpoint. If you were to

1:08:16.680 --> 1:08:19.760
<v Speaker 1>become president, or you're putting words in my mouth that

1:08:19.800 --> 1:08:22.360
<v Speaker 1>I've never said. You did not say that Syrian president

1:08:22.360 --> 1:08:24.559
<v Speaker 1>Asad is not the enemy of the United States. Say

1:08:24.560 --> 1:08:29.559
<v Speaker 1>it now. Clarify the issue here is how can we

1:08:29.640 --> 1:08:32.719
<v Speaker 1>help alleviate the suffering of people just really one moment,

1:08:32.800 --> 1:08:34.760
<v Speaker 1>is he an enemy of the United States. The enemy

1:08:34.800 --> 1:08:37.599
<v Speaker 1>of the United States is someone who threatens our safety

1:08:37.840 --> 1:08:41.479
<v Speaker 1>and our security. There is no disputing the fact that

1:08:41.600 --> 1:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Basha al Asad and Syria is a brutal dictator. Very

1:08:45.080 --> 1:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>interesting here, that was Megan McCain and Tulsi Gabbert, and

1:08:49.120 --> 1:08:53.439
<v Speaker 1>I am sometimes accused of being too favorable to Tulsi

1:08:54.160 --> 1:08:56.840
<v Speaker 1>for reasons that have nothing to do with politics, and

1:08:56.920 --> 1:09:00.800
<v Speaker 1>I say these are false reasons. Similar to why Jesse Kelly,

1:09:01.080 --> 1:09:02.880
<v Speaker 1>my friend who we should probably have on the show

1:09:02.960 --> 1:09:05.960
<v Speaker 1>producer Mike, to talk about this one. Jesse Kelly is

1:09:06.720 --> 1:09:11.200
<v Speaker 1>unusually open minded to a Kamela Harris presidency, not because

1:09:11.240 --> 1:09:14.639
<v Speaker 1>of her politics. He just likes He just likes Kamela.

1:09:14.720 --> 1:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>And people have said this about me with Tulsi. I've

1:09:17.080 --> 1:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>been getting a little heat over at the hillover on

1:09:18.680 --> 1:09:21.599
<v Speaker 1>this one, and I reject that notion. I think she's

1:09:21.640 --> 1:09:25.200
<v Speaker 1>correct here. I think that Tulsi Gabbert, as much as

1:09:25.200 --> 1:09:28.439
<v Speaker 1>she's a left winger, and I'm sure we disagree on

1:09:28.520 --> 1:09:36.240
<v Speaker 1>basically everything, her breaking from the orthodoxy on the Assad

1:09:36.360 --> 1:09:40.040
<v Speaker 1>regime from the left and from the right is kind

1:09:40.040 --> 1:09:45.160
<v Speaker 1>of refreshing. Yeah, it is Assad terrible. Absolutely, Assad is terrible.

1:09:46.160 --> 1:09:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Is Assad an enemy of the United States? Well that

1:09:49.000 --> 1:09:52.840
<v Speaker 1>that is a question that we have to ask with

1:09:53.600 --> 1:09:57.200
<v Speaker 1>a clarification, and I think her clarification is a necessary one.

1:09:57.840 --> 1:10:00.320
<v Speaker 1>An enemy to me is somebody that is a threat

1:10:00.360 --> 1:10:04.000
<v Speaker 1>to us. Is China an enemy of the United States,

1:10:04.760 --> 1:10:07.519
<v Speaker 1>certainly over the long term, is the greatest threat we face.

1:10:07.600 --> 1:10:11.320
<v Speaker 1>But what we say is China our enemy? We would

1:10:11.320 --> 1:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>say that the Islamic State is our enemy. We would

1:10:14.360 --> 1:10:17.000
<v Speaker 1>say that the Taliban is our enemy, although keep in

1:10:17.000 --> 1:10:20.080
<v Speaker 1>mind we are negotiating with them, We are sitting down

1:10:20.160 --> 1:10:22.040
<v Speaker 1>from them and across from them and trying to get

1:10:22.040 --> 1:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>a deal. Is Vladimir Putin our enemy or is he

1:10:27.439 --> 1:10:30.400
<v Speaker 1>an opposing, opposing figure on the world stage. You know,

1:10:30.439 --> 1:10:33.479
<v Speaker 1>it's not as simple as just declaring people to be

1:10:33.640 --> 1:10:35.479
<v Speaker 1>enemies that we are not at war with, that we

1:10:35.520 --> 1:10:39.200
<v Speaker 1>are not in a conflict with, and that you know,

1:10:39.400 --> 1:10:41.599
<v Speaker 1>we probably have to work with on certain issues. So

1:10:42.200 --> 1:10:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that it's overly simplistic. I mean, I know

1:10:44.400 --> 1:10:46.000
<v Speaker 1>that some of you're probably gonna disagree with me, but

1:10:46.840 --> 1:10:49.519
<v Speaker 1>the fact of the matter is that the Assad regime

1:10:49.640 --> 1:10:52.160
<v Speaker 1>is what we are going to allow to stay in

1:10:52.240 --> 1:10:57.520
<v Speaker 1>place as the ruler or as the ruling body of Syria.

1:10:57.600 --> 1:11:00.320
<v Speaker 1>There is no future that we can think of or

1:11:00.360 --> 1:11:02.840
<v Speaker 1>that we are pushing for in which there is no

1:11:02.880 --> 1:11:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Assad regime in Syria, because what's going to take its place?

1:11:07.160 --> 1:11:09.320
<v Speaker 1>And so if we sit down across from Assad and

1:11:09.400 --> 1:11:11.360
<v Speaker 1>try to work out some kind of an agreement, are

1:11:11.439 --> 1:11:14.679
<v Speaker 1>we then complicit in the horrific civil war that's happened there.

1:11:15.400 --> 1:11:18.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, these are complicated questions, and I think that

1:11:18.920 --> 1:11:23.960
<v Speaker 1>you know the exchange there where you had you had

1:11:24.160 --> 1:11:27.400
<v Speaker 1>essentially a redo of the Mika Braginsky trying to nail

1:11:27.439 --> 1:11:30.759
<v Speaker 1>down Tulsa Gabbert on whether Assad is an enemy. Tulsi

1:11:30.840 --> 1:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Gabbard met with the opposition in Syria, met with the

1:11:34.120 --> 1:11:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Assad regime, and she said she was there with Dennis Kucinich,

1:11:38.960 --> 1:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and she is now in all kinds of trouble. On

1:11:42.880 --> 1:11:45.320
<v Speaker 1>the left, they're calling an Assad apologist. I've never heard

1:11:45.320 --> 1:11:48.880
<v Speaker 1>her apologize for Assad. That's a different thing. You know,

1:11:48.920 --> 1:11:51.160
<v Speaker 1>the left and the right in some areas have a

1:11:51.200 --> 1:11:52.880
<v Speaker 1>little bit of cross over here with we don't want

1:11:52.880 --> 1:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>any more regime change wars. We don't need any more

1:11:56.240 --> 1:11:58.719
<v Speaker 1>of this going in and trying to, you know, change

1:11:58.760 --> 1:12:01.160
<v Speaker 1>this country or that country and putting US troops in

1:12:01.240 --> 1:12:04.040
<v Speaker 1>harm's way, sending arm men and women over there, to

1:12:04.240 --> 1:12:08.679
<v Speaker 1>die to make their country, meaning the foreigners country better.

1:12:10.280 --> 1:12:12.840
<v Speaker 1>It's not something we want to do anymore. Maybe it's

1:12:12.840 --> 1:12:15.519
<v Speaker 1>time to break with some of this foreign policy echo

1:12:15.600 --> 1:12:20.880
<v Speaker 1>chamber on Syria and elsewhere. Look, this is important stuff.

1:12:20.920 --> 1:12:22.960
<v Speaker 1>When do you want to spot that burglar when he's

1:12:23.000 --> 1:12:26.160
<v Speaker 1>casing your home or after he's already gotten in. Well

1:12:26.200 --> 1:12:28.600
<v Speaker 1>you could ask John who's Blink camera alerted him to

1:12:28.640 --> 1:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>burglars trying to break in while he and his family

1:12:31.360 --> 1:12:34.559
<v Speaker 1>were home, or Shannon, whose Blink camera caught a thief

1:12:34.560 --> 1:12:37.640
<v Speaker 1>stealing packages. Both times, Blink video clips were sent to

1:12:37.680 --> 1:12:41.599
<v Speaker 1>police to help convict the crooks. Blink motion activated indoor

1:12:41.600 --> 1:12:44.240
<v Speaker 1>and outdoor cameras are wire free, set up in minutes,

1:12:44.320 --> 1:12:46.479
<v Speaker 1>and run on two double A batteries that last up

1:12:46.479 --> 1:12:49.080
<v Speaker 1>to two years. And if you're traveling, Blink's live feed

1:12:49.120 --> 1:12:51.120

1:13:22.240 --> 1:13:27.160

1:13:27.280 --> 1:13:32.439
<v Speaker 1>about lifting up the poor. Socialism is about one thing only,

1:13:33.040 --> 1:13:40.880
<v Speaker 1>power for the ruling class. The ruling class. You wouldn't

1:13:40.880 --> 1:13:44.200
<v Speaker 1>have thought, maybe a few years ago, that a Republican

1:13:44.280 --> 1:13:49.559
<v Speaker 1>president and in fact much of the Republican intelligentsia, or

1:13:49.600 --> 1:13:53.840
<v Speaker 1>at least the Trump supporting intelligentsia, would call out the

1:13:53.920 --> 1:13:56.280
<v Speaker 1>ruling class, and that a guy who is a billionaire

1:13:56.439 --> 1:14:00.680
<v Speaker 1>and obviously was born essentially one hundred millionaire would have

1:14:00.800 --> 1:14:04.240
<v Speaker 1>a voice that would resonate with people on this issue

1:14:04.360 --> 1:14:06.639
<v Speaker 1>might come as a surprise, but when you dig into

1:14:06.680 --> 1:14:11.160
<v Speaker 1>it more, it actually makes perfect sense. There very much

1:14:11.360 --> 1:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>is a ruling class in this country, one that in

1:14:15.400 --> 1:14:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the era of Trump, just because of the ability to

1:14:18.760 --> 1:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>get past political correctness, to get past all of this

1:14:23.840 --> 1:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>forced respect for certain institutions, Journalism among journalism very high

1:14:29.320 --> 1:14:31.840
<v Speaker 1>on the list, perhaps top of the list, and we're

1:14:31.880 --> 1:14:34.880
<v Speaker 1>able to really evaluate who these people are that think

1:14:34.920 --> 1:14:40.680
<v Speaker 1>that they should be in charge in charge of media newsrooms,

1:14:40.720 --> 1:14:46.519
<v Speaker 1>the arts, the federal bureaucracy, the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA,

1:14:46.720 --> 1:14:49.599
<v Speaker 1>the universities. You go down the line and you say,

1:14:50.680 --> 1:14:54.160
<v Speaker 1>why do we have to revere these people? Should we

1:14:54.160 --> 1:14:58.599
<v Speaker 1>revere these people? The answer is we shouldn't, and we don't,

1:14:58.920 --> 1:15:01.760
<v Speaker 1>or we shouldn't have to, we don't have to. And

1:15:01.880 --> 1:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>that's relatively new. And I do think that there's a

1:15:05.880 --> 1:15:10.240
<v Speaker 1>whole democratization of information component of this, essentially because we

1:15:10.320 --> 1:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>see these people acting like idiots on social media, because

1:15:14.120 --> 1:15:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I can point to tweets from John Brennan, who was

1:15:17.360 --> 1:15:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the CIA director, that showed that he's an imbecile without

1:15:21.080 --> 1:15:25.519
<v Speaker 1>any judgment, without any credibility, especially when it comes to

1:15:26.280 --> 1:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>issues of politics that deal with the Trump administration. I

1:15:30.720 --> 1:15:32.600
<v Speaker 1>don't have to be told whether or not this is

1:15:32.600 --> 1:15:34.240
<v Speaker 1>a guy that I should listen to a trust. I

1:15:34.240 --> 1:15:37.120
<v Speaker 1>can see for myself that he's not somebody I should trust.

1:15:37.120 --> 1:15:40.519
<v Speaker 1>He's a clown. And Victor Davis Hanson, who's one of

1:15:40.560 --> 1:15:47.520
<v Speaker 1>my favorite, one of my favorite current living American columnists.

1:15:47.560 --> 1:15:50.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's definitely at the very top of the list.

1:15:50.720 --> 1:15:54.559
<v Speaker 1>He's top ten for sure, maybe even top five. Victor

1:15:54.640 --> 1:16:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Davis Hansen is spot on with what we've seen, not

1:16:01.160 --> 1:16:03.920
<v Speaker 1>just because of Trump's willingness to take it to the

1:16:04.000 --> 1:16:07.080
<v Speaker 1>ruling class in this country, but more specifically, what we've

1:16:07.120 --> 1:16:09.719
<v Speaker 1>seen from the ruling class in the government, the fourth

1:16:09.760 --> 1:16:14.120
<v Speaker 1>branch of government, that is the bureaucracy. And I think

1:16:14.120 --> 1:16:16.400
<v Speaker 1>that it's never it's never going to be the same,

1:16:16.439 --> 1:16:18.960
<v Speaker 1>which is a good thing. The truth has come out

1:16:19.000 --> 1:16:22.280
<v Speaker 1>in ways now that are unavoidable, and it's caused a panic,

1:16:22.840 --> 1:16:25.799
<v Speaker 1>a panic that has manifested itself in all these different

1:16:25.800 --> 1:16:28.880
<v Speaker 1>people Struck and MacCabe and Coomy and you know, all

1:16:28.960 --> 1:16:33.160
<v Speaker 1>the rest of them who hide behind this shield of oh,

1:16:33.240 --> 1:16:39.640
<v Speaker 1>you're disrespecting our institutions, and no, we're questioning our institutions.

1:16:39.720 --> 1:16:42.200
<v Speaker 1>And when we question some of these institutions, we find

1:16:42.200 --> 1:16:47.519
<v Speaker 1>ourselves getting answers that are not reassuring, that do not

1:16:47.680 --> 1:16:51.479
<v Speaker 1>make us feel better about the situation. And that just

1:16:51.520 --> 1:16:54.280
<v Speaker 1>means that we should dig more, that we should ask

1:16:54.400 --> 1:16:57.599
<v Speaker 1>more questions. And also I think do quite a bit

1:16:57.640 --> 1:17:05.080
<v Speaker 1>of as a nation reevaluating the value of some of

1:17:05.120 --> 1:17:08.600
<v Speaker 1>these institutions and how they are constructed and who's in

1:17:08.680 --> 1:17:11.559
<v Speaker 1>charge and what they're doing. Here. Here's VDH the man

1:17:11.640 --> 1:17:14.680
<v Speaker 1>himself on this issue. Play nine. What really gets us

1:17:14.760 --> 1:17:18.520
<v Speaker 1>upset us being the American people. We have these sanctimonious

1:17:18.600 --> 1:17:22.839
<v Speaker 1>boy scout, self righteous James Clapper, John Brennan, James Comby,

1:17:23.040 --> 1:17:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Peter Struck, Andrew McCabe, and they feel that somehow they've

1:17:27.120 --> 1:17:30.559
<v Speaker 1>got a rationale or prerogative to be divinities, and they

1:17:30.560 --> 1:17:32.960
<v Speaker 1>can tell people when a president should go and when

1:17:33.000 --> 1:17:35.400
<v Speaker 1>he should come, and what a court needs to know

1:17:35.520 --> 1:17:39.599
<v Speaker 1>what he doesn't, when they can lead confidential information, when

1:17:39.600 --> 1:17:42.920
<v Speaker 1>they can two hundred and forty five times under oath

1:17:43.080 --> 1:17:45.720
<v Speaker 1>a house intelligence to me, they don't know, and we

1:17:45.840 --> 1:17:49.200
<v Speaker 1>can't do that us the people. But they've created a

1:17:49.280 --> 1:17:53.320
<v Speaker 1>hierarchy or some type of cadre in Washington. They're like

1:17:53.320 --> 1:17:57.840
<v Speaker 1>a praetorian guard where they're not subject to the limitations

1:17:57.880 --> 1:18:01.680
<v Speaker 1>that we all enjoy as institutional limitations on what you

1:18:01.720 --> 1:18:08.720
<v Speaker 1>can do. He's absolutely right. You have seen with Clapper, Brannan, Comey, Struck, McCabe,

1:18:09.600 --> 1:18:13.559
<v Speaker 1>Sally Yates, this whole crew at the very top of

1:18:13.560 --> 1:18:15.479
<v Speaker 1>the government hierarchy. And keep in mind, not only do

1:18:15.479 --> 1:18:18.160
<v Speaker 1>they have a lot of government power and the power

1:18:18.160 --> 1:18:21.120
<v Speaker 1>to ruin people, the power to play in politics in

1:18:21.160 --> 1:18:23.600
<v Speaker 1>a way that they're not supposed to, but is incredibly

1:18:23.600 --> 1:18:27.200
<v Speaker 1>effective if they're willing to. They also will all take

1:18:27.320 --> 1:18:30.479
<v Speaker 1>jobs in the private sector at their leisure, where they

1:18:30.479 --> 1:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>will make millions of dollars most likely. So they are

1:18:35.080 --> 1:18:38.360
<v Speaker 1>elites in every sense, but they pose as protectors of

1:18:38.400 --> 1:18:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the people. They pose as individuals who care not for themselves,

1:18:42.600 --> 1:18:44.680
<v Speaker 1>but care only about you and me. And what we

1:18:44.760 --> 1:18:51.280
<v Speaker 1>have seen from this praetorian class is that they're liars,

1:18:52.200 --> 1:18:56.080
<v Speaker 1>that they're self interested, that they're self motivated, and we

1:18:56.120 --> 1:19:00.559
<v Speaker 1>would be foolish to ignore this. It's all so important

1:19:00.600 --> 1:19:04.160
<v Speaker 1>to note that they are living under a different set

1:19:04.200 --> 1:19:07.760
<v Speaker 1>of rules in their own minds, and this is problematic

1:19:08.520 --> 1:19:10.640
<v Speaker 1>for a whole bunch of reasons. One of them is

1:19:10.680 --> 1:19:14.080
<v Speaker 1>that if they can get away with things that you

1:19:14.160 --> 1:19:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and I can't, how will we ever be able to

1:19:17.960 --> 1:19:22.120
<v Speaker 1>reform the institutions of our government that go after citizens

1:19:22.320 --> 1:19:25.120
<v Speaker 1>if the people that are making those decisions don't have

1:19:25.200 --> 1:19:29.519
<v Speaker 1>to live by those laws themselves. Remember, one of my

1:19:29.600 --> 1:19:33.759
<v Speaker 1>favorite maxims here on the show is that a true

1:19:33.800 --> 1:19:39.120
<v Speaker 1>tyranny is not the equal application of draconian laws. It

1:19:39.280 --> 1:19:45.240
<v Speaker 1>is the capricious application of laws based on political connections

1:19:45.280 --> 1:19:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and favor and the whims of the mob or the

1:19:47.680 --> 1:19:52.000
<v Speaker 1>whims of the powerful. It is that McCabe can lie

1:19:52.120 --> 1:19:58.000
<v Speaker 1>under oath and somehow not face criminal charges. But George

1:19:58.040 --> 1:20:01.479
<v Speaker 1>Papadopolis can lie about a non crime to the Special Council,

1:20:01.920 --> 1:20:06.120
<v Speaker 1>and he faced his prison time. That General Flynn could

1:20:06.280 --> 1:20:09.640
<v Speaker 1>lie or perhaps misremember a conversation that he had with

1:20:10.320 --> 1:20:13.880
<v Speaker 1>that was relayed to FBI agents, and then faced the

1:20:13.960 --> 1:20:17.640
<v Speaker 1>ruination of his career, the destruction of his reputation, a

1:20:17.720 --> 1:20:20.800
<v Speaker 1>reputation that involved thirty years of service in the military.

1:20:21.880 --> 1:20:24.200
<v Speaker 1>So when people say, well, McCabe should get the benefit

1:20:24.200 --> 1:20:26.720
<v Speaker 1>of the doubt, I say, hold on a second. I'm

1:20:26.840 --> 1:20:30.800
<v Speaker 1>somebody that's all for the benefit of the doubt when warranted.

1:20:31.240 --> 1:20:35.200
<v Speaker 1>But I need someone to tell me why Andy McCabe,

1:20:35.200 --> 1:20:37.840
<v Speaker 1>fired from the FBI for being a liar, should be

1:20:37.880 --> 1:20:41.040
<v Speaker 1>given that benefit because of his service in the government,

1:20:41.439 --> 1:20:43.519
<v Speaker 1>especially given all the other stuff we've learned about him

1:20:43.520 --> 1:20:46.240
<v Speaker 1>recently that he thought that a coup against the president

1:20:46.280 --> 1:20:50.599
<v Speaker 1>against President Trump was an acceptable idea. But then why

1:20:50.640 --> 1:20:55.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't General Flynn get that benefit after his thirty some

1:20:55.120 --> 1:20:59.160
<v Speaker 1>odd years of government service. I want someone to answer

1:20:59.200 --> 1:21:03.320
<v Speaker 1>that question for me. So the elites right now are

1:21:03.439 --> 1:21:06.320
<v Speaker 1>unsettled and they're not used to that. They don't like

1:21:06.680 --> 1:21:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the truth coming out, and they're trying to prevent it.

1:21:10.400 --> 1:21:13.560
<v Speaker 1>And it is incumbent upon all of us to continue

1:21:13.600 --> 1:21:16.759
<v Speaker 1>to just look at what is reality here, what's really happening,

1:21:17.120 --> 1:21:19.400
<v Speaker 1>and who these people are. Should they be in charge,

1:21:19.439 --> 1:21:21.720
<v Speaker 1>do they deserve to be in charge? Do we trust them?

1:21:21.880 --> 1:21:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Should they have this power? We should keep asking those questions.

1:21:29.000 --> 1:21:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Here's a story that you would think would get a

1:21:32.960 --> 1:21:38.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of media attention, but sure enough, there is something

1:21:38.400 --> 1:21:43.200
<v Speaker 1>of a muted reaction to it. President Trump, the Trump

1:21:43.240 --> 1:21:48.200
<v Speaker 1>administration has decided that they will launch a campaign, a

1:21:48.360 --> 1:21:56.479
<v Speaker 1>global campaign to end the criminalization of homosexuality. Now, at

1:21:56.600 --> 1:22:00.960
<v Speaker 1>first glance, this should be one of those rare moments

1:22:01.200 --> 1:22:06.559
<v Speaker 1>in contemporary American politics where all sides and both sides

1:22:06.800 --> 1:22:10.400
<v Speaker 1>are cheering, you know, yelling huzzah, saying this is fantastic.

1:22:11.280 --> 1:22:16.840
<v Speaker 1>This is as straightforward a campaign of goodness and decency

1:22:16.880 --> 1:22:19.680
<v Speaker 1>as that he could find anywhere. You put aside for

1:22:19.720 --> 1:22:23.759
<v Speaker 1>a moment any feelings you may have about same sex

1:22:24.120 --> 1:22:29.120
<v Speaker 1>or gay marriage, and just understand, this is about decriminalizing homosexuality.

1:22:29.240 --> 1:22:33.240
<v Speaker 1>So this is you know, countries that exist that are

1:22:33.240 --> 1:22:36.560
<v Speaker 1>out there where you can still be punished, even executed

1:22:37.280 --> 1:22:43.760
<v Speaker 1>for homosexual acts. That's barbaric and that's wrong. And the

1:22:43.800 --> 1:22:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Trump administration is trying to lead the way on this,

1:22:47.240 --> 1:22:50.360
<v Speaker 1>and in the campaign is supposed to be led by

1:22:50.400 --> 1:22:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the US Ambassador to Germany, Richard Grinnell. I know Richard

1:22:54.360 --> 1:22:57.559
<v Speaker 1>a bit from from working with him at Fox. And

1:22:57.960 --> 1:23:00.439
<v Speaker 1>they're they're kicking this event off, or rather kicking off

1:23:00.439 --> 1:23:04.960
<v Speaker 1>this campaign in Berlin. And you would think that perhaps

1:23:05.040 --> 1:23:10.800
<v Speaker 1>the LGBT community would rally behind the Trump administration on this.

1:23:11.160 --> 1:23:15.920
<v Speaker 1>What could be more obviously on the side of the

1:23:16.080 --> 1:23:21.400
<v Speaker 1>LGBT community than a global campaign to end the criminalization

1:23:21.920 --> 1:23:26.280
<v Speaker 1>of homosexuality. Now, did you even hear about this in

1:23:26.320 --> 1:23:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the press? Would I would first put that out there.

1:23:29.560 --> 1:23:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen, given the media's interests usually in any

1:23:33.600 --> 1:23:38.559
<v Speaker 1>LGBT stories, have you seen this covered? Have you seen

1:23:38.640 --> 1:23:43.120
<v Speaker 1>it heard it talked about? I'm guessing a large percentage

1:23:43.160 --> 1:23:44.640
<v Speaker 1>of you, even though you who spent a lot of

1:23:44.720 --> 1:23:48.960
<v Speaker 1>time reading the newspaper or online watching the news, haven't

1:23:48.960 --> 1:23:52.560
<v Speaker 1>seen or heard anything about this. And it's because one,

1:23:53.040 --> 1:23:58.400
<v Speaker 1>as we know, the press is desire to harm Trump

1:23:59.040 --> 1:24:02.160
<v Speaker 1>or to under mind or even downplay any of his

1:24:02.240 --> 1:24:08.360
<v Speaker 1>successes outweighs their desire to let the Trump administration or

1:24:08.400 --> 1:24:12.280
<v Speaker 1>support the Trump administration do good things that people will

1:24:12.320 --> 1:24:16.759
<v Speaker 1>know about. Right So, for most of the media, Trump

1:24:17.200 --> 1:24:23.559
<v Speaker 1>and the administration's efforts to decriminalize homosexuality and countries around

1:24:23.560 --> 1:24:27.519
<v Speaker 1>the world, which should have a tremendous effect of liberty

1:24:27.760 --> 1:24:32.880
<v Speaker 1>and personal freedom on LGBT communities around the world, that

1:24:34.000 --> 1:24:37.479
<v Speaker 1>desire is less important to the press than to make

1:24:37.479 --> 1:24:39.880
<v Speaker 1>sure that people don't realize that Trump is, in many

1:24:39.920 --> 1:24:45.160
<v Speaker 1>ways the most LGBT friendly president of all time. In fact,

1:24:45.280 --> 1:24:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Trump is the only president in history who stood on

1:24:50.000 --> 1:24:54.240
<v Speaker 1>stage during his campaign held up a gay Pride flag

1:24:54.520 --> 1:24:59.639
<v Speaker 1>and ran as somebody who was openly in favor of

1:25:00.200 --> 1:25:04.080
<v Speaker 1>same sex marriage. You know, he was fine with gay marriage.

1:25:04.080 --> 1:25:07.280
<v Speaker 1>In favor of gay marriage. Obama was not for everybody

1:25:07.280 --> 1:25:09.200
<v Speaker 1>who likes to say, we'll look at with the Obama aministration.

1:25:09.360 --> 1:25:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Obama was pro traditional marriage largely I think as a

1:25:14.280 --> 1:25:18.720
<v Speaker 1>as a political ploy to get black churches to support him,

1:25:18.880 --> 1:25:21.080
<v Speaker 1>especially black churches in the South, to support him in

1:25:21.360 --> 1:25:24.240
<v Speaker 1>his bid for the presidency, and then once he had

1:25:24.320 --> 1:25:27.400
<v Speaker 1>secured enough support from for his second term, he was

1:25:27.439 --> 1:25:29.680
<v Speaker 1>willing to say, Okay, well now we'll move on this.

1:25:29.760 --> 1:25:33.880
<v Speaker 1>But back to this campaign. Not only is the press

1:25:33.920 --> 1:25:37.160
<v Speaker 1>a little muted in its enthusiasm about this, which I

1:25:37.479 --> 1:25:42.439
<v Speaker 1>don't think is surprising to anybody, there's also an effort

1:25:43.040 --> 1:25:45.599
<v Speaker 1>from the left, in fact, an effort from within the

1:25:45.760 --> 1:25:50.679
<v Speaker 1>LGBT community to say that we should that this should

1:25:50.680 --> 1:25:54.360
<v Speaker 1>not be celebrated as at all. This is a piece

1:25:54.600 --> 1:26:03.080
<v Speaker 1>inout dot com, which is say focused publication from what

1:26:03.160 --> 1:26:08.720
<v Speaker 1>I understand, and out dot com has this piece up.

1:26:08.800 --> 1:26:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Trump's plan to decriminalize homosexuality is an old racist tactic.

1:26:16.520 --> 1:26:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Let me just read that headline to you again. This

1:26:18.439 --> 1:26:23.599
<v Speaker 1>is in a left wing gay online publication and the

1:26:23.640 --> 1:26:28.599
<v Speaker 1>title is Trump's plan to decriminalize homosexuality is an old

1:26:29.120 --> 1:26:35.000
<v Speaker 1>racist tactic. Wow, let's unpack this for a moment, shall we.

1:26:35.720 --> 1:26:40.400
<v Speaker 1>The left, which views itself as on the vanguard always

1:26:40.400 --> 1:26:43.760
<v Speaker 1>of LGBT and gay rights and transgender rights and all

1:26:43.800 --> 1:26:49.479
<v Speaker 1>these different communities and subcommunities within the movement, they all

1:26:49.520 --> 1:26:53.519
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden have a problem with the President trying

1:26:53.520 --> 1:26:56.760
<v Speaker 1>to do something that any sane, reasonable person would say

1:26:56.960 --> 1:27:00.639
<v Speaker 1>is good for the LGBT community. And here's why what

1:27:00.760 --> 1:27:06.320
<v Speaker 1>are the most anti gay portions of the globe. Where

1:27:06.439 --> 1:27:13.000
<v Speaker 1>is homosexuality illegal? Well, it's in Africa, the Middle East,

1:27:13.680 --> 1:27:17.799
<v Speaker 1>and the Caribbean. Okay that if you're looking for areas

1:27:17.800 --> 1:27:19.720
<v Speaker 1>of the globe where you're going to have a particular

1:27:19.720 --> 1:27:23.519
<v Speaker 1>focus on this, that's where you're going to find yourself.

1:27:23.600 --> 1:27:27.120
<v Speaker 1>That's where the issue is going to be. So now

1:27:28.360 --> 1:27:30.880
<v Speaker 1>you have Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East, which

1:27:30.880 --> 1:27:35.200
<v Speaker 1>are areas that are predominantly, not entirely, but predominantly non white,

1:27:35.760 --> 1:27:38.920
<v Speaker 1>are going to come under scrutiny here as part of

1:27:38.920 --> 1:27:42.080
<v Speaker 1>this campaign. And what you're going to see on the

1:27:42.160 --> 1:27:46.799
<v Speaker 1>left is also an aversion to this because the Muslim world,

1:27:46.840 --> 1:27:50.679
<v Speaker 1>which is predominantly non white, not entirely, but predominantly non white,

1:27:51.400 --> 1:27:55.599
<v Speaker 1>the Muslim world is the most anti gay portion of

1:27:55.640 --> 1:28:00.920
<v Speaker 1>the world. Okay, there's more antique, and Iran specifically is

1:28:00.960 --> 1:28:07.439
<v Speaker 1>a viciously anti gay country. The Iranian government's policies towards

1:28:07.760 --> 1:28:12.000
<v Speaker 1>homosexuals is that they can put them to death. So

1:28:13.000 --> 1:28:15.120
<v Speaker 1>this is where the left starts to run into the

1:28:15.200 --> 1:28:19.880
<v Speaker 1>usual incoherence. They're pro LGBT rights as long as it

1:28:19.920 --> 1:28:25.680
<v Speaker 1>allows them to bash Christian conservatives in America they are

1:28:25.760 --> 1:28:27.439
<v Speaker 1>then they're all about it, and they want to talk

1:28:27.439 --> 1:28:30.200
<v Speaker 1>about transgender rights and transgenderism all the rest of it.

1:28:30.560 --> 1:28:34.120
<v Speaker 1>But the moment that you look at what's going on

1:28:34.200 --> 1:28:36.120
<v Speaker 1>with the LGBT community and the rest of the world,

1:28:36.360 --> 1:28:44.600
<v Speaker 1>all these other left wing constructs come into play, like colonialism, racism,

1:28:45.439 --> 1:28:50.000
<v Speaker 1>anti anti Islam or Islamophobia, all of that is more

1:28:50.080 --> 1:28:53.679
<v Speaker 1>important to the left than basic human rights and basic

1:28:53.760 --> 1:28:57.960
<v Speaker 1>decency toward the gay community. And I just think that

1:28:58.160 --> 1:29:01.640
<v Speaker 1>this should get a whole lot more attention because what

1:29:01.680 --> 1:29:05.400
<v Speaker 1>you're seeing here is that the left does view all

1:29:05.439 --> 1:29:07.840
<v Speaker 1>of its issues as part of this hierarchy. There are

1:29:07.840 --> 1:29:14.200
<v Speaker 1>no fundamental principles. Because if if treating people from the

1:29:14.240 --> 1:29:18.120
<v Speaker 1>gay community, from the LGBT community as as human beings

1:29:18.120 --> 1:29:22.240
<v Speaker 1>with basic decency is not more important to the left

1:29:22.720 --> 1:29:26.960
<v Speaker 1>than trying to protect the sensibilities of the Muslim world,

1:29:27.040 --> 1:29:30.760
<v Speaker 1>the Middle East, the Caribbean portions of the globe that

1:29:30.800 --> 1:29:35.640
<v Speaker 1>are majority non white, then what are their fundamental principles?

1:29:36.280 --> 1:29:39.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, what do they really espouse If you're not

1:29:39.920 --> 1:29:43.519
<v Speaker 1>able to join hands with this president on a movement

1:29:43.560 --> 1:29:49.120
<v Speaker 1>to push for the removal of laws that stigmatize and

1:29:50.479 --> 1:29:55.160
<v Speaker 1>even murder gay people around the world because there are regressive,

1:29:55.200 --> 1:29:57.760
<v Speaker 1>backwards countries. I mean, let's just start to say, what's

1:29:57.800 --> 1:30:00.439
<v Speaker 1>who are they going on here? I'm sorry, sorry, that

1:30:00.640 --> 1:30:04.439
<v Speaker 1>Islam is, as was said by Sam Harris, correctly, the

1:30:04.560 --> 1:30:09.640
<v Speaker 1>mother load of bad ideas from a liberals perspective on

1:30:09.680 --> 1:30:13.920
<v Speaker 1>a global scale. But it is, unfortunately a fact. That

1:30:13.960 --> 1:30:17.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean that all Muslims feel that way. Obviously, it

1:30:17.160 --> 1:30:19.639
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean that, you know, everybody from within the Islamic

1:30:19.680 --> 1:30:23.040
<v Speaker 1>faith is guilty of believing these things or but if

1:30:23.080 --> 1:30:27.760
<v Speaker 1>you're looking for one faith tradition that is particularly regressive

1:30:28.640 --> 1:30:31.559
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to the LGBT community, among other things,

1:30:32.439 --> 1:30:34.920
<v Speaker 1>it's Islam. So the Middle East is going to be

1:30:34.960 --> 1:30:38.439
<v Speaker 1>a problem if you're trying to get rid of laws

1:30:38.439 --> 1:30:42.080
<v Speaker 1>that criminalize homosexuality. This is just a fact. Also, portions

1:30:42.120 --> 1:30:45.479
<v Speaker 1>of Africa are going to be a problem. You know,

1:30:45.680 --> 1:30:48.120
<v Speaker 1>there are some parts of the world where there are

1:30:48.160 --> 1:30:53.840
<v Speaker 1>cultures that are more regressive and backwards than what we

1:30:53.920 --> 1:30:55.840
<v Speaker 1>have here in the West or in a lot of

1:30:55.840 --> 1:30:58.360
<v Speaker 1>other places around the world, not just the West. This

1:30:58.479 --> 1:31:03.080
<v Speaker 1>is a fact. This is objective truth. So the left

1:31:03.160 --> 1:31:08.519
<v Speaker 1>can you know, cry and wail and criticize as much

1:31:08.560 --> 1:31:11.680
<v Speaker 1>as they want, what the Trump administration is doing is

1:31:11.800 --> 1:31:15.800
<v Speaker 1>a good thing. It is a kind thing, And if

1:31:15.840 --> 1:31:18.400
<v Speaker 1>they were being principled on the left, they would understand

1:31:18.840 --> 1:31:23.479
<v Speaker 1>that Trump pushing for the decriminalization globally of homosexuality is

1:31:23.680 --> 1:31:27.120
<v Speaker 1>only a good thing for the LGBT community and there

1:31:27.120 --> 1:31:33.880
<v Speaker 1>should not be any excuses made to undermine this movement. Team.

1:31:33.920 --> 1:31:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I know we're talking a moment ago about Trump's campaign

1:31:35.920 --> 1:31:42.320
<v Speaker 1>to decriminalize homosexuality around the world and to encourage countries

1:31:42.360 --> 1:31:46.840
<v Speaker 1>to have LGBT protections as a matter of law, and

1:31:46.880 --> 1:31:51.759
<v Speaker 1>certainly to end discriminatory and vicious practices against the LGBT community.

1:31:51.960 --> 1:31:57.400
<v Speaker 1>But transgenderism, the T in LGBT transgenderism is still very

1:31:57.520 --> 1:32:02.560
<v Speaker 1>much at the forefront, at the vanguard of left wing activism.

1:32:03.000 --> 1:32:04.680
<v Speaker 1>And I would just share with you, you know, I

1:32:04.760 --> 1:32:11.040
<v Speaker 1>had a an exchange today publicly that I'm I just

1:32:11.120 --> 1:32:14.639
<v Speaker 1>wanted to share because it was one of these moments

1:32:14.640 --> 1:32:18.360
<v Speaker 1>where I was at at kind of cross purposes. I

1:32:18.360 --> 1:32:24.120
<v Speaker 1>have never heard of India More before, but India More

1:32:24.520 --> 1:32:31.240
<v Speaker 1>is a a transgender actor um and and has you know,

1:32:31.280 --> 1:32:35.280
<v Speaker 1>a pretty substantial online following, and India More tweeted out, So,

1:32:35.320 --> 1:32:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Indian Moore was born a man and has become a

1:32:37.760 --> 1:32:43.400
<v Speaker 1>now under transgender logic, has become a woman. And uh

1:32:43.439 --> 1:32:49.160
<v Speaker 1>and and he tweeted out or she tweeted, well, it's

1:32:49.200 --> 1:32:51.160
<v Speaker 1>a he. But you know, I'm trying to be I'm

1:32:51.160 --> 1:32:53.640
<v Speaker 1>trying to be considerate, right, But the Indian more is

1:32:53.640 --> 1:32:56.719
<v Speaker 1>a man, that's an Indian war is a man. We

1:32:56.840 --> 1:32:58.840
<v Speaker 1>can go back and forth on this as much as

1:32:59.400 --> 1:33:02.880
<v Speaker 1>the Left wants to, but you know, objective reality is

1:33:02.920 --> 1:33:05.920
<v Speaker 1>just that. But I also want to be polite to somebody.

1:33:05.920 --> 1:33:07.920
<v Speaker 1>And if somebody really wants a pronoun to be a

1:33:07.960 --> 1:33:12.080
<v Speaker 1>certain way, do I bend out of deference and politeness.

1:33:12.080 --> 1:33:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, one of the knocks on me in this business, unfortunately,

1:33:14.520 --> 1:33:17.360
<v Speaker 1>is that I am actually too polite, probably which I'm

1:33:17.360 --> 1:33:19.599
<v Speaker 1>getting less polite as I get older, because some people

1:33:19.640 --> 1:33:24.320
<v Speaker 1>need to tune up publicly sometimes. But anyway, back to

1:33:24.360 --> 1:33:29.040
<v Speaker 1>India More. This individual tweeted out, if this is a quote,

1:33:29.280 --> 1:33:32.800
<v Speaker 1>if a woman has a penis, her penis is a

1:33:32.840 --> 1:33:38.080
<v Speaker 1>biological female penis. And I just have to note that

1:33:38.120 --> 1:33:44.799
<v Speaker 1>this is the definition of false. This is as false

1:33:44.840 --> 1:33:49.960
<v Speaker 1>as false gets right. Female anatomy is female anatomy. Male

1:33:50.000 --> 1:33:53.679
<v Speaker 1>anatomy is male anatomy. There is no such thing as

1:33:54.320 --> 1:33:57.719
<v Speaker 1>one of them becoming the other. But what I see

1:33:57.800 --> 1:34:05.680
<v Speaker 1>here is a race of falsehood and the demand that

1:34:05.760 --> 1:34:08.200
<v Speaker 1>we all embrace falsehood as well. Now, I responded to this,

1:34:08.360 --> 1:34:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I have questions, and then miss Moore or mister Moore,

1:34:14.600 --> 1:34:16.559
<v Speaker 1>whichever one we're going to, I would also know that

1:34:16.600 --> 1:34:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I could get banned from Twitter for misgendering and misgendering

1:34:20.680 --> 1:34:23.200
<v Speaker 1>some people want to be some people in the Western world,

1:34:23.200 --> 1:34:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I think in Canada now and among other places, they

1:34:25.439 --> 1:34:27.800
<v Speaker 1>want it to be a crime. So now they want

1:34:27.800 --> 1:34:31.799
<v Speaker 1>to bring the force of law to make me lie

1:34:32.120 --> 1:34:37.000
<v Speaker 1>about somebody else in order to protect their feelings. That's

1:34:37.040 --> 1:34:40.960
<v Speaker 1>where we have headed as a society. But India, Moore

1:34:40.960 --> 1:34:43.479
<v Speaker 1>responded to me, if you have questions, essentially, you know,

1:34:43.520 --> 1:34:46.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy to answer them. And here's the thing. I

1:34:46.520 --> 1:34:51.120
<v Speaker 1>don't have questions. A woman cannot have a a penis

1:34:51.160 --> 1:34:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and a man cannot have a woman's anatomy. I don't

1:34:56.280 --> 1:34:58.800
<v Speaker 1>have questions. I have questions about why we're supposed to

1:34:58.840 --> 1:35:02.400
<v Speaker 1>pretend that we don't know we know. That's my question.

1:35:02.760 --> 1:35:05.839
<v Speaker 1>That's really where the discussion is I refuse to embrace

1:35:05.960 --> 1:35:10.880
<v Speaker 1>the unreality of the transgender movement. And I mean, just

1:35:10.960 --> 1:35:13.800
<v Speaker 1>to give you an idea of where this is going now,

1:35:14.720 --> 1:35:20.519
<v Speaker 1>you had an LGBT organization announced that it was severing ties.

1:35:20.640 --> 1:35:24.880
<v Speaker 1>This was just yesterday with Martina Navratolova because she made

1:35:25.160 --> 1:35:31.559
<v Speaker 1>comments about transgender athletes. This group, athlete Ally, which is

1:35:31.600 --> 1:35:35.479
<v Speaker 1>a nonprofit to quote end rampant homophobia and transphobia in

1:35:35.560 --> 1:35:38.920
<v Speaker 1>sport and to activate the athletic community to exercise their

1:35:39.000 --> 1:35:43.160
<v Speaker 1>leadership to champion LGBTQ equality, said that they're no longer

1:35:43.160 --> 1:35:46.160
<v Speaker 1>working with Martina Navratlova, who's one of the most famous

1:35:47.040 --> 1:35:51.800
<v Speaker 1>same sex athletes of all time. Right, you know, same

1:35:51.840 --> 1:35:56.680
<v Speaker 1>sex you know, gay athletes of all time, the same

1:35:56.720 --> 1:36:00.400
<v Speaker 1>sex attractive, is what I meant to say. She she's

1:36:00.439 --> 1:36:03.000
<v Speaker 1>now kicked off the island, so to speak. She is

1:36:03.040 --> 1:36:05.400
<v Speaker 1>now no longer welcome in the group, no longer welcome

1:36:05.479 --> 1:36:09.920
<v Speaker 1>is part of the team here because she said that

1:36:09.960 --> 1:36:13.960
<v Speaker 1>it is cheating to allow transgender women to compete in

1:36:13.960 --> 1:36:18.240
<v Speaker 1>women's sporting events because of their physical advantages. She wrote, quote,

1:36:18.280 --> 1:36:21.439
<v Speaker 1>a man can decide to be female, take hormones if

1:36:21.439 --> 1:36:25.160
<v Speaker 1>required by whatever sporting organization. Is concerned win everything in

1:36:25.240 --> 1:36:28.559
<v Speaker 1>sight and perhaps earn a small fortune and then reverse

1:36:29.000 --> 1:36:31.600
<v Speaker 1>his oh, she said, his decision and go back to

1:36:31.640 --> 1:36:35.439
<v Speaker 1>making babies if he so desires. It's insane and it's cheating.

1:36:37.000 --> 1:36:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I would not be happy to compete against her. It

1:36:39.120 --> 1:36:41.880
<v Speaker 1>would not be fair. Mount n Avutoloova said, it's a

1:36:41.920 --> 1:36:44.160
<v Speaker 1>world champion tennis player and she's gay, and she's not

1:36:44.200 --> 1:36:47.160
<v Speaker 1>allowed to say this, folks. She's speaking the truth, all right.

1:36:47.479 --> 1:36:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Biology is real and biology wins on this one. Biology

1:36:51.000 --> 1:36:54.679
<v Speaker 1>is fact. If I had been competing against women in college,

1:36:54.680 --> 1:36:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I would have been a three sport All American. That's

1:36:56.800 --> 1:36:59.680
<v Speaker 1>just a fact. And I was barely able to be

1:36:59.760 --> 1:37:04.040
<v Speaker 1>on the crew team. So this is ridiculous, all right, ridiculous.

1:37:05.360 --> 1:37:09.519
<v Speaker 1>I will not I will not be a part of this,

1:37:10.240 --> 1:37:14.760
<v Speaker 1>of this movement to embrace falsehood. You know, I want

1:37:14.760 --> 1:37:16.400
<v Speaker 1>to be polite to people. I want to be decent.

1:37:16.439 --> 1:37:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to treat people with respect always, right, it

1:37:18.760 --> 1:37:21.719
<v Speaker 1>is an obligation on all of us. But I'm also

1:37:21.800 --> 1:37:25.439
<v Speaker 1>not going to be forced to lie. And that's where

1:37:25.960 --> 1:37:28.519
<v Speaker 1>we are heading with this transgender movement. Not even a

1:37:28.600 --> 1:37:31.200
<v Speaker 1>choice anymore. We're going to be forced to lie and

1:37:31.200 --> 1:37:33.839
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have to make some very tough choices going forward.

1:37:37.080 --> 1:37:47.040
<v Speaker 1>The show ain't over yet, folks. It's time for roll call. Indeed,

1:37:47.040 --> 1:37:51.600
<v Speaker 1>it is a snowy roll call today, DC gets a

1:37:51.760 --> 1:37:54.960
<v Speaker 1>light dusting of powder and thinks that some kind of

1:37:55.000 --> 1:37:57.920
<v Speaker 1>snow apocalypse has descended on it. You think that our

1:37:58.000 --> 1:38:01.599
<v Speaker 1>nation's capital would be a little more able to handle

1:38:01.640 --> 1:38:04.840
<v Speaker 1>some inclement weather. But if you thought that, you would

1:38:04.880 --> 1:38:10.799
<v Speaker 1>be wrong. Unfortunately, DC is very much in the midst

1:38:10.800 --> 1:38:13.400
<v Speaker 1>of the usual oh my gosh, a half inch of

1:38:13.520 --> 1:38:18.280
<v Speaker 1>snow panic. But I'm here, safe and warm in the

1:38:18.360 --> 1:38:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Freedom Hut, where love of freedom keeps us safe and warm.

<v Speaker 1>Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton if you want your

1:38:27.160 --> 1:38:31.880
<v Speaker 1>thoughts to be included in lar roll call, so by

<v Speaker 1>all means let me know what you think by going

1:38:37.439 --> 1:38:40.680
<v Speaker 1>to roll call, and also by letting me load the

1:38:40.720 --> 1:38:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Facebook page that I do live on air here and

1:38:43.200 --> 1:38:49.599
<v Speaker 1>it always takes a second. Sorry technology, Sean rights, Hello Buck,

1:38:50.000 --> 1:38:53.240
<v Speaker 1>we should just start calling the fake news narrators and

1:38:53.360 --> 1:38:59.559
<v Speaker 1>not journalists. Journalists report facts while narrators tell stories, shieldsaye fan,

1:39:00.000 --> 1:39:02.760
<v Speaker 1>since the real news days Well, Sean, thank you so

1:39:02.840 --> 1:39:06.240
<v Speaker 1>much for being old school squad good to have you

1:39:06.840 --> 1:39:09.679
<v Speaker 1>in the mix here, and thank you so much for

1:39:10.200 --> 1:39:12.679
<v Speaker 1>writing to me. I appreciate it, my friend, and yes,

1:39:12.800 --> 1:39:15.719
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you. The journalists need to do more

1:39:15.840 --> 1:39:18.720
<v Speaker 1>in the fact side of things and less in the

1:39:18.840 --> 1:39:25.400
<v Speaker 1>opinionating while pretending to give facts. Adam writes, in relation

1:39:25.439 --> 1:39:28.320
<v Speaker 1>to you switching eye dominance, mister Cage has the perfect

1:39:28.320 --> 1:39:32.639
<v Speaker 1>solution for you in the movie Firebirds Shields High Well, Adam,

1:39:32.680 --> 1:39:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I have not seen Firebirds, so I will

1:39:37.400 --> 1:39:42.320
<v Speaker 1>have to take your word for it. Lucinda, Oh, loosen

1:39:42.400 --> 1:39:45.599
<v Speaker 1>to back in action here. Ha, I've seen killer clowns

1:39:45.600 --> 1:39:48.439
<v Speaker 1>from outer space. I definitely would not compare it to

1:39:48.479 --> 1:39:52.080
<v Speaker 1>the Witch. However, because I watch killer clowns, I thoroughly

1:39:52.160 --> 1:39:56.680
<v Speaker 1>check any toilet I use for aliens. Shields high Well,

1:39:56.720 --> 1:39:59.680
<v Speaker 1>lucin to that sounds truly horrifying, and I'm not going

1:39:59.720 --> 1:40:05.880
<v Speaker 1>to had killer clowns from outer space into my viewing Q.

1:40:07.080 --> 1:40:09.920
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I will tell you that The Witch. I

1:40:09.920 --> 1:40:12.160
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't have watched it. You know, Miss Molly was making

1:40:12.200 --> 1:40:13.639
<v Speaker 1>fun of me a little bit. I shouldn't have watched

1:40:13.640 --> 1:40:16.720
<v Speaker 1>it because it really kind of freaked me out, and

1:40:16.760 --> 1:40:18.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, I maybe even had some nightmares about it.

1:40:18.840 --> 1:40:21.880
<v Speaker 1>It's really creepy. I think it's the creepiest movie I've seen,

1:40:23.040 --> 1:40:25.519
<v Speaker 1>probably since The Exorcist, which I saw for the first

1:40:25.520 --> 1:40:29.960
<v Speaker 1>time maybe fifteen years ago. Rachel, right Shield tay Buck.

1:40:30.040 --> 1:40:33.240
<v Speaker 1>My husband is the main breadwinner, giving me the privilege

1:40:33.280 --> 1:40:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to stay at home with our kids and raising them

1:40:35.000 --> 1:40:38.080
<v Speaker 1>the right way according to the Bible. Your excellent, thoughtful

1:40:38.120 --> 1:40:40.160
<v Speaker 1>analysis helps keep me saying during my day with the

1:40:40.160 --> 1:40:43.040
<v Speaker 1>little ones. So thank you. But I wouldn't have heard

1:40:43.040 --> 1:40:45.800
<v Speaker 1>about you if my husband Jesse hadn't told me about you.

1:40:45.880 --> 1:40:49.000
<v Speaker 1>And it's his birthday tomorrow, he will listen to your

1:40:49.000 --> 1:40:50.960
<v Speaker 1>show via podcast or I was wondering if you could

1:40:50.960 --> 1:40:53.760
<v Speaker 1>give him a birthday shout out. Thanks again for all

1:40:53.800 --> 1:40:56.840
<v Speaker 1>the hard work you do have a fantastic show every time,

1:40:56.960 --> 1:41:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Rachel from Callie Well, Rachel, of course, first of all,

1:41:00.920 --> 1:41:04.799
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for listening, and a big birthday

1:41:04.880 --> 1:41:08.600
<v Speaker 1>shout out to our main man, Jesse, who is obviously

1:41:08.640 --> 1:41:13.200
<v Speaker 1>an original Squad aficionado, for spreading the news of the show,

1:41:13.400 --> 1:41:16.880

1:41:16.920 --> 1:41:20.280

1:41:23.520 --> 1:41:29.639
<v Speaker 1>which I can see here in Rachel's profile photo. John writes,

1:41:30.120 --> 1:41:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry to bother you, Buck. I Heart Radio doesn't

1:41:33.920 --> 1:41:38.799
<v Speaker 1>have the February nineteenth show on your listing. Ah, John,

1:41:39.160 --> 1:41:42.040
<v Speaker 1>very frustrating, man. We will look into this. I'm very

1:41:42.439 --> 1:41:45.280
<v Speaker 1>that trusts me and annoys me more than anybody when

1:41:45.320 --> 1:41:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I put all the work in to do this show,

1:41:46.920 --> 1:41:48.439
<v Speaker 1>to try to make the best show I can and

1:41:48.479 --> 1:41:50.439
<v Speaker 1>we don't have it up. So we will look into

1:41:50.520 --> 1:41:57.519
<v Speaker 1>that one right away. Ethan, Right, don't listen to Robert Buck.

1:41:57.600 --> 1:42:02.200
<v Speaker 1>The analogy's rock keep bringing well. Ethan. Thanks man, I'm

1:42:02.240 --> 1:42:05.960
<v Speaker 1>glad to hear that at least some folks like the analogies,

1:42:06.240 --> 1:42:08.519
<v Speaker 1>and maybe we'll get a happy medium where I'll only

1:42:08.560 --> 1:42:12.600
<v Speaker 1>use them when they're really, really good and really really necessary.

1:42:13.040 --> 1:42:15.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, That's one thing about taking feedback from my

1:42:16.800 --> 1:42:21.879
<v Speaker 1>respected and beloved audience is sometimes people disagree very strongly

1:42:21.920 --> 1:42:23.559
<v Speaker 1>on what they like and don't like in the show.

1:42:23.960 --> 1:42:26.720
<v Speaker 1>One example of that is the History Show. Not the

1:42:26.760 --> 1:42:30.200
<v Speaker 1>history shows, but history segments within the show. I would

1:42:30.240 --> 1:42:33.200
<v Speaker 1>get three or four people writing in at a time

1:42:33.320 --> 1:42:36.200
<v Speaker 1>saying I love that segment you did on just that

1:42:36.439 --> 1:42:39.040
<v Speaker 1>that history deep dive. That was maybe a couple of

1:42:39.080 --> 1:42:42.040
<v Speaker 1>segments fifteen or twenty minutes or so, and I would

1:42:42.080 --> 1:42:44.160
<v Speaker 1>have somebody who's like, don't ever do that again. I

1:42:44.240 --> 1:42:46.000
<v Speaker 1>come to you for daily news. I come to you

1:42:46.040 --> 1:42:48.360
<v Speaker 1>for analysis of politics and what's going on in the world,

1:42:48.720 --> 1:42:50.800
<v Speaker 1>not for what happened in the world a thousand years ago.

1:42:51.439 --> 1:42:53.120
<v Speaker 1>So it's tough, you know, you got to try to

1:42:53.160 --> 1:42:57.200
<v Speaker 1>gauge what the best usage of the time that we

1:42:57.280 --> 1:43:01.000
<v Speaker 1>have together is. Because I take it very seriously. I

1:43:01.040 --> 1:43:04.000
<v Speaker 1>do feel a very important obligation to make the best

1:43:04.120 --> 1:43:07.720
<v Speaker 1>use of every moment that you give me. But thank

1:43:07.760 --> 1:43:11.080
<v Speaker 1>you for your feedback. My friend Aaron, right, it's I'm

1:43:11.120 --> 1:43:13.600
<v Speaker 1>a little behind on your podcast. It's okay, Aaron. We

1:43:13.680 --> 1:43:16.200
<v Speaker 1>could still be friends. But if you are enjoying punk,

1:43:16.280 --> 1:43:19.639
<v Speaker 1>you should check out The Bastard Sons. They are a

1:43:19.720 --> 1:43:24.719
<v Speaker 1>contemporary Southern punk band. My favorite song is Never Say Die. Also,

1:43:24.760 --> 1:43:26.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure if you can get into these classics,

1:43:26.600 --> 1:43:31.360
<v Speaker 1>but bands like Dead Kennedy's Minority Threat, Bad Religion, Dead Milkman,

1:43:31.600 --> 1:43:36.599
<v Speaker 1>Operation Ivy, Bouncing Souls, and No FX Whoa. It's a lot, Aaron.

1:43:37.080 --> 1:43:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Also some pretty good bands with female vocalists, Tsunami Bomb

1:43:40.000 --> 1:43:42.519
<v Speaker 1>and Tilt. I could go on and on. You'll definitely

1:43:42.520 --> 1:43:44.400
<v Speaker 1>be opposed to a lot of the political lyrics of

1:43:44.439 --> 1:43:46.920
<v Speaker 1>these bands, but you should still check them out. Aaron,

1:43:47.000 --> 1:43:49.920
<v Speaker 1>you are obviously an audio file. You're somebody that really

1:43:49.960 --> 1:43:52.960
<v Speaker 1>likes listening to tunes, and I would just say, in

1:43:53.080 --> 1:43:57.040
<v Speaker 1>terms of the politics of bands, I think everybody should

1:43:57.080 --> 1:44:03.240
<v Speaker 1>take the perspective that you can appreciate the artists without

1:44:03.240 --> 1:44:05.120
<v Speaker 1>agreeing with the artist. If you know what I mean,

1:44:05.360 --> 1:44:09.519
<v Speaker 1>you know you can you can feel Okay, here's a

1:44:09.520 --> 1:44:12.080
<v Speaker 1>perfect example for me for let me just put this

1:44:12.120 --> 1:44:15.799
<v Speaker 1>one out there. I think that Rage Against the Machine,

1:44:16.000 --> 1:44:19.679
<v Speaker 1>for my money, is for workout purposes in the gym,

1:44:20.439 --> 1:44:23.679
<v Speaker 1>probably the greatest band of all time for working out,

1:44:23.800 --> 1:44:27.040
<v Speaker 1>not for listening to and just hanging out with obviously,

1:44:27.520 --> 1:44:29.719
<v Speaker 1>but I think that Rage Against the Machine has probably

1:44:29.760 --> 1:44:32.800
<v Speaker 1>the best catalog for workout purposes of anybody out there. Now.

1:44:32.800 --> 1:44:35.920
<v Speaker 1>People can disagree with me vehemently, that's fine. Obviously. Rage

1:44:35.920 --> 1:44:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Against the Machine also has the politics of Ocasio Cortez

1:44:41.120 --> 1:44:44.920
<v Speaker 1>mixed with Maduro and Karl Marx and Bernie Sanders all

1:44:44.960 --> 1:44:47.519
<v Speaker 1>at once, right, I mean, Rage Against the machines. Politics

1:44:47.520 --> 1:44:50.240
<v Speaker 1>are silly, but I don't care about their politics because

1:44:50.280 --> 1:44:53.479
<v Speaker 1>I listen for the music. So when you can find

1:44:53.520 --> 1:44:56.320
<v Speaker 1>an artist who also shares your beliefs, great, Yeah. I

1:44:56.320 --> 1:44:58.559
<v Speaker 1>think that's that gives them a leg up. But I

1:44:58.560 --> 1:45:00.960
<v Speaker 1>do think it's okay to separate out the music from

1:45:00.960 --> 1:45:04.400
<v Speaker 1>the person's political beliefs singing it. You know, I don't

1:45:04.439 --> 1:45:06.200
<v Speaker 1>think I would have seen eye to eye with Jimmy

1:45:06.240 --> 1:45:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Hendricks and all matters of politics, although we probably would

1:45:08.760 --> 1:45:11.360
<v Speaker 1>have agreed on more stuff than some folks would realize.

1:45:12.400 --> 1:45:14.280
<v Speaker 1>That's and I have no idea what Jimmy hendris because

1:45:14.320 --> 1:45:17.720
<v Speaker 1>politics were that said, I mean, Jimmy is Jimmy, and

1:45:17.800 --> 1:45:21.160
<v Speaker 1>you gotta love the music. Nolan writes Buck, we no

1:45:21.240 --> 1:45:24.120
<v Speaker 1>longer need to point to Venezuela to communicate the harm

1:45:24.200 --> 1:45:28.280
<v Speaker 1>that socialism can cause. Amazon scrapping New York and the

1:45:28.320 --> 1:45:31.719
<v Speaker 1>economic cost of that decision provides a snapshot of where

1:45:31.720 --> 1:45:34.320
<v Speaker 1>these want to be communists will take the entire country.

1:45:34.640 --> 1:45:37.880
<v Speaker 1>We need to highlight that and other homegrown socialist disasters

1:45:37.880 --> 1:45:42.320
<v Speaker 1>that do real, not theoretical damage to real Americans. Well, Nolan,

1:45:42.400 --> 1:45:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I hope you appreciate that I try to do that

1:45:46.000 --> 1:45:48.040
<v Speaker 1>On this show, I talk to you about Venezuela, but

1:45:48.040 --> 1:45:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I also talked to you about Amazon, and I try

1:45:50.800 --> 1:45:54.880
<v Speaker 1>to discuss the parts of the Venezuelan disaster that are

1:45:54.920 --> 1:45:58.000
<v Speaker 1>applicable to what's going on here at home. It's not

1:45:58.120 --> 1:46:01.000
<v Speaker 1>enough to just say that Venezuela's socialist. It's why has

1:46:01.080 --> 1:46:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Venezuela's socialist experiment imploded? And what are the fair points

1:46:08.000 --> 1:46:12.080
<v Speaker 1>of comparison between Venezuela and the US and the American

1:46:12.240 --> 1:46:15.960
<v Speaker 1>left and Ocasio Cortez and Bernie Sanders. It's not just

1:46:16.000 --> 1:46:18.840
<v Speaker 1>about the talking points. Obviously. The huge advantage that I

1:46:18.920 --> 1:46:22.160
<v Speaker 1>have here with you on this platform is I can

1:46:22.200 --> 1:46:25.479
<v Speaker 1>spend real time on things that really matter. I don't

1:46:25.479 --> 1:46:29.000
<v Speaker 1>have to constantly just flip through really quickly with a

1:46:29.080 --> 1:46:32.040
<v Speaker 1>three or four minute conversation that's meant to just be

1:46:32.200 --> 1:46:34.559
<v Speaker 1>good TV and then run through the next topic. We

1:46:34.600 --> 1:46:38.360
<v Speaker 1>can really dig deep, and I think that's why people

1:46:39.240 --> 1:46:43.200
<v Speaker 1>keep coming back here. Now. Well, gosh, going on six

1:46:43.360 --> 1:46:46.280
<v Speaker 1>seventy seven years on the air on this show, So

1:46:46.520 --> 1:46:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Man time does fly? Joe Rights, Buck Shields. I you

1:46:53.240 --> 1:46:57.639
<v Speaker 1>often ask if liberals, democrats are morons or liars. The answer,

1:46:57.680 --> 1:47:00.400
<v Speaker 1>of course is usually they are both. Whether it's the

1:47:00.400 --> 1:47:03.080
<v Speaker 1>absurd lie of Jesse Smont or the bald faced lies

1:47:03.120 --> 1:47:07.000
<v Speaker 1>of Andrew McCabe. The outlandishness of the lie displays their

1:47:07.040 --> 1:47:12.679
<v Speaker 1>stupidity and the lie their moral vacuity. Well, Joe, nobody

1:47:12.720 --> 1:47:16.320
<v Speaker 1>could ever say that you're minstin words. You obviously have

1:47:16.439 --> 1:47:22.240
<v Speaker 1>no trouble owning the libs as they say, Kayla, Right,

1:47:22.560 --> 1:47:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Ben Weingarten, Raheem and Michael Pelka are my favorite filling

1:47:26.479 --> 1:47:31.320
<v Speaker 1>host great job shields high. Well, Kayla, you have fantastic taste.

1:47:31.320 --> 1:47:34.599
<v Speaker 1>Those are all very very strong hosts in their own right,

1:47:35.080 --> 1:47:37.880
<v Speaker 1>and they will all be repeat hosts here on the show,

1:47:38.640 --> 1:47:40.519
<v Speaker 1>and they're going to continue to join us. So I'm

1:47:40.520 --> 1:47:42.600
<v Speaker 1>so glad that you like it when they're in for me,

1:47:42.960 --> 1:47:44.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, I really do want it to be the

1:47:44.680 --> 1:47:47.320
<v Speaker 1>case that any day that I have to be away

1:47:47.320 --> 1:47:50.920
<v Speaker 1>from this microphone, which is almost always for some other

1:47:50.960 --> 1:47:53.760
<v Speaker 1>business reason. Occasionally it's for vacation, although I don't take

1:47:53.880 --> 1:47:56.720
<v Speaker 1>very much vacation. Any day I'm gone, I want you

1:47:56.760 --> 1:47:58.479
<v Speaker 1>to know that when you tune in, you're gonna get

1:47:58.520 --> 1:48:00.720
<v Speaker 1>a great show. I don't want people who think, oh,

1:48:00.760 --> 1:48:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Bucks not there. I'm not going to listen today because

1:48:04.720 --> 1:48:08.600
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna get a different version of the kind of

1:48:08.640 --> 1:48:10.679
<v Speaker 1>topics that we talk about here, the sort of show

1:48:10.680 --> 1:48:13.040
<v Speaker 1>we do here, obviously with a different host. So I

1:48:13.120 --> 1:48:15.760
<v Speaker 1>want the best host possible. As I've said, I know

1:48:15.840 --> 1:48:17.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of other radio hosts like to put in

1:48:18.160 --> 1:48:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the B team or the C team so that people

1:48:20.160 --> 1:48:21.760
<v Speaker 1>miss them when they're gone. That's kind of an old

1:48:21.840 --> 1:48:26.040
<v Speaker 1>radio radio joke, radio trope. I want the best host

1:48:26.080 --> 1:48:29.000
<v Speaker 1>we can get, so that's always my plan. And Akayla,

1:48:29.040 --> 1:48:30.920
<v Speaker 1>in the meantime, thank you so much for writing in

1:48:31.040 --> 1:48:33.439

1:48:33.479 --> 1:48:36.919

1:49:01.600 --> 1:49:05.640
