1 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: Mr garbusch Off teared down this wall. Either you're with 2 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: us or you were with the terrorists. If you get 3 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: healthcare already, then you can keep your plan. If you're 4 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 1: satisfied with Trump is not. When President of the United 5 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 1: States take it to a bank together, we will make 6 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: America great again. It's what you've been waiting for all day. 7 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: The Buck Sexton Show joined the conversation called Buck toll 8 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: free at eight four four nine hundred Buck. That's eight 9 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: four four nine hundred to eight to five the future 10 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: of talk radio. Buck Sexton terrible. The bombings in Austin 11 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: are terrible. Local, state and federal of working hand in 12 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: hand to get to the bottom of it. This is 13 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: obviously a very very sick individual or maybe individuals. These 14 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: are sick people, and we will get to the bottom 15 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: of it. We will be very strong. We have all 16 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: sorts of federal agencies over there right now. We're searching 17 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: what's going on in Austin, a great place, tremendous place, 18 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: is absolutely disgraceful, So we have a lot of power 19 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: over there. We're looking. It's not easy to find, but 20 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: these are sick people and we have to find them 21 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: as soon as possible. We have to find them really immediately. 22 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: Welcome to the buck Sex and show everybody you have. 23 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: A fifth explosion earlier today in Texas. It's believed to 24 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: be linked to the bombings that have already happened in Austin, Texas, 25 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: and we are now in the midst of a man 26 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: hunt for a serial bomber. We do not have much 27 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: in the way of additional information about motive, about any 28 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: description of the suspect, any inclination about who the suspect 29 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: or suspects are. We had the Texas Attorney General Ken 30 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: Paxton speak earlier today. Here's what he had to say 31 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: about it. Obviously, as you know an ongoing investigation, law 32 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: enforcement can't share everything they know, So there are definitely 33 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 1: things that that law enforcement knows about what's what's going 34 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: on with the proms and potentially who this is that 35 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: they're not gonna be able to share at this time. 36 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: But yes, I do think that this guy, whoever it is, 37 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: is trying to increase fear. Well, he's certainly trying to 38 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: increase fear. The question is for what purpose and who 39 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: is it so we can stop him? Um. I hope 40 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: that law enforcement has a lot more information than is 41 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: out there in the public right now, because otherwise it 42 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: seems to me they have very little to go on 43 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: right now. And if you look at the history of 44 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: mad bombers in the past, a serial bombers people that 45 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: were just trying to uh so chaos and and just 46 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: kill people at random, or kill people for as part 47 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: of some twisted political agenda. Some of these bomber man 48 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: hunts stretch on. We're not just months, not years, but decades. 49 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: I certainly hope that is not the case here. Some 50 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: of you may be familiar with the mad bomber case 51 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: who terrorized New York City back in the fifties, George Mateski. 52 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: I took them quite a long time to finally get Metski. 53 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: He had left bombs in phone booths and bathrooms. He 54 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: left bombs at Grand Central Terminal, Penn Station, the New 55 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: York Public Library. Scotty was leaving bombs place, thirty three bombs, 56 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: six of them, twenty two of them exploded. Uh And 57 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: it took them a long time to track him down. 58 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: The most well known serial bomber of all time, the 59 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: UNI bomber Ted Kazinski. You know that went on for decades. 60 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: There's now a series. I was actually planning on on 61 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,799 Speaker 1: watching it, and there's a series on I believe Netflix 62 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: right now. Manhunt Unibomber. Just about that decades long effort 63 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: by the FBI to track down Kazinski had and it's 64 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: important folks remember what brought him down. He wanted his 65 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: message to be out there. If Kazinski didn't have a 66 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: streak of narcissism and grandiosity, he didn't insist on a 67 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: manifesto being published by the Washington Post etly the New 68 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: York Times, would we ever found him. He was meticulous, 69 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: He planned it out, and he was completely and utterly 70 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: sociopathic when it came to the lives that he ruined 71 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: and lives and he ended um There's also a a 72 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: similar a similar need for a sense of message. If 73 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: you go back into um mates Ki's case, he would 74 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: send letters. He sent letters into the New York Herald 75 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: Tribune like this one on October. Bombs will continue until 76 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: the consolidated Edison Company is brought to justice for their 77 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: dastardly acts against me. I have exhausted all other means. 78 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: I intend with bombs to cause others to cry out 79 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: for justice for me. So these bombers are crazy, but 80 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: not stupid. They are careful with what they do and 81 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: it is very tough to track them down. People have 82 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: been asking, I was over at Fox this morning a 83 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: few times, trying to shed some light on how this 84 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: all works. And we have incredib double forensics right now. 85 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: I mean, the things that can be done today are 86 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: are are amazing. They can find d N A on 87 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: a on a switch. They can find DNA on a 88 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: blasting cap after it's been used, even although oftentimes the 89 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: explosion will burn off any residual DNA. People usually, if 90 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: you watch enough TV and movies you think of fingerprints. 91 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: They're always dusting for fingerprints. Yeah, fingerprints are great if 92 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: you can get them, but if someone wears gloves, guess 93 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: what a hard fingerprints DNA that you leave behind that's 94 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: much harder to eliminate from a device and and can 95 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: be left behind even after an explosion. In fact, one 96 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: of the better known cases of trying to track down 97 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: all of this involved the FBI is a special lab 98 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 1: that they set up and thousands and thousands of I E. 99 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: D s from a rock and Afghanistan have been sent 100 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: there for analysis, and they track down one of the 101 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: one of the cases of a refugee who turned out 102 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: to be a really bad, really bad choice for this country. 103 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: I believe he was living in Kentucky. He's in a 104 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: rocky refugee. It turned out he was involved in insurgency 105 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: there and was bragging about how he had killed U. 106 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: S soldiers, And they were trying to do a match 107 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: between an I E. D. In the Beiji area of Iraq, 108 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: known best for the oil refinery north of Baghdad, a 109 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: couple of hours drive. I think, um about maybe it's 110 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: about sixty miles well on a rocky roads. But they're 111 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: a will track him down, and in part the effort 112 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: involved looking at exactly that the DNA on I E. D. 113 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: S in Iraq and seeing if you had any connection 114 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: to it. And he ended up getting a forty years 115 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: sentence I believe. So there are ways that they could 116 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: be trying this down. This may be over in a 117 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: day or two. I'm not trying to make this seem 118 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: more dire than it is. I just know the history 119 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: of tracking down serial bombers is one of a lot 120 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: of slow and plotting and difficult detective work usually, and 121 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: this case, so far, we're seeing increased. He Here are 122 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: the things that give me real pause. One is no 123 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: message anywhere that we know of. And maybe what Paxton, 124 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: the a GA Texas said is the case, law enforcement 125 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: might already have a really excellent tip, you know, and great, 126 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: and I hope that's the case. But from what we know, 127 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: and I can only work here on this show, I'm 128 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: not in law enforcement anymore. I'm not intelligence anymore. I 129 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: can just tell you what's out there in the press, 130 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: which is all I would anyway. Right Uh, what we 131 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: know is that the bomber, assuming this is all one 132 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 1: person or one group, and I do think it's likely 133 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: to be a person. I don't see this being a group. 134 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: I also don't see this being um the I don't 135 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: I don't see being gee hottest terrorism. I don't see 136 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: this being drug cartels, you know. Any It's some the 137 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: things that are put out there as suspect profiles by 138 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: people that are just trying to theorize and then also 139 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: getting a sense of motivations for this. We just don't 140 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: have enough right now. I mean, the profile you can 141 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: expect here would be a single male, probably middle aged, 142 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: with a gripe. If he fits the mad bomber profile. UM, 143 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: it's probably a loner and someone who feels like he 144 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: has been wrong very possibly by the government, although we 145 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: don't know that for sure, and views this as a 146 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: means of retribution, right, and and attention seeking. What's complicating 147 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: situation is that we have not and it's still very early, 148 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: but we have not yet seen any manifested. We haven't 149 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: seen any claims of credit for this that anyone believes 150 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: are credible. We have a case where someone has chosen 151 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: targets that seem random, even from the mind of a 152 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: of a terrorist, right, even for a sick and deluded mind. 153 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: We can't pick up much of a much of a 154 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: pattern based on what we've seen so far. And now 155 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: that you have one bomb that went off at a FedEx, 156 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: you've got another and this is this is still I 157 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: believe developing. They they have a a suspicious package, because 158 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 1: if they have an intact device, that would be much 159 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: better for all the forensic stuff I was talking about, 160 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: looking at the mechanics of it, what pieces are in, 161 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 1: what pieces are actually in the explosive device. UM, then 162 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: again look sweeping for fingerprints for DNA, all the things 163 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: that they always do. The standard kit. If you have 164 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: a device that's still together, you're more likely to get 165 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: some answers that if you have a device that's been 166 00:10:54,440 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: blown to smithery, just shrapnel and residue. But they're saying 167 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: there's also some degree of sophistication here either that that 168 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: runs quite a gamut, right, I mean, are we talking 169 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: about someone who spent a lot of time, maybe in 170 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: some basement somewhere, thinking about how to do this? Absolutely? 171 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: I mean this is this has been thought out. This 172 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: person knows what the plan was here and and is 173 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: executing this bloody mayhem according to what they had been 174 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:34,719 Speaker 1: plotting out for some time. But beyond that, is this 175 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,239 Speaker 1: somebody with an actual skill set from explosives explosive ordinance disposal? 176 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: Is this? You know? That? To me too early to say, 177 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: But I haven't seen the devices, right, the law enforcement 178 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: maybe keeping this close hold. The fact that they're saying 179 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: greater level of sophistication, to me, it's starting to be 180 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: an indicator. And this is reading between the lines. This 181 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: is not based on This is not what we know. 182 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: This is what we may know based on what we've 183 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: been told old that you could have someone here who 184 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: is beyond reading the Anarchist Cookbook and trial and error 185 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: at home. But as we know, you can get far 186 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 1: if you're just trying to blow up innocent people. That's 187 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: not a hard thing to do. It's an evil thing 188 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: to do, but it's not a difficult thing to do. 189 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: So this is this is now where we hope that 190 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: law enforcement is gonna I have a a rapid arrest 191 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: and there will be no more of these bombings. But 192 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: using the postal system or using FedEx, you know, using 193 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 1: any of these parcel or package transfer services adds a 194 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: layer of complication, and it means that they're spreading a 195 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: sense of anxiety and fear throughout that entire system anywhere 196 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: where they can reach. You know, these these bombs could 197 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: theoretically reached so far it's all been in Texas, could 198 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: expand beyond that. We don't know a lot of unknowns. 199 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: But we have a serial bomber on the loose in 200 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: this country. We've got over five hundred law enforcement agents 201 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: that are working in the case full time, just doing 202 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: everything they can to find him, and we will keep 203 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: you updated on it beyond that. Right now, I just 204 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: I hope that this is a story that doesn't last 205 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: beyond the week because they get him and this doesn't 206 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: turn into a Motetski or a Kazinski or any other 207 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: long term serial bomber cases that have been out there. 208 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: If you have any thoughts on this, especially those of 209 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: you out there who are law enforcement or a former 210 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: military e O D. Explosive Ordinance disposal folks, by all means, 211 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: lines are open eight four four n eight to five 212 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: eight four four nine Buck, I'll be back. We we've 213 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: got to We've got a packed show today. I've got 214 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: to talk to you about the updates on Cambridge Analytic 215 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: of that whole thing. It's just people have lost their minds. 216 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: They are crazy on that thing, just the latest overblown conspiracy. 217 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: But we'll we'll pull that apart together. And then also 218 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 1: a school shooting today and one that you won't hear 219 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: about from the media. I'd say, starting tomorrow, this is 220 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: gonna fall off the rail. Why would a school shooting 221 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: not be talked about for more than one day's news cycle. 222 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: Some of you are probably already saying it aloud. You 223 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: already know why. But we'll talk about it because it's 224 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: important and it should reflect it should be reflected in 225 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: the policies going forward to know that you have Betsy 226 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: Divos with that School Safety Commission. We'll get into all 227 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: this coming up, so stay with me team. Much more 228 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: on the way, Welcome back, folks. Before we get into 229 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: the what really should be a non story about Cambridge 230 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: Cambridge Analytica, UM, I just want to say that there 231 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: are some people who are talking quite a bit about 232 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: the possibility of a government shutdown. We're to get to 233 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: Cambridge Analytica and then the school shooting in just a 234 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: few minutes, but first the government shutdown. Jim Jordan's it's 235 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: raising the alarm over the spending increase that's going to 236 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: be happening here. This is the second largest discretionary spending 237 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: increase in the last decade, second only to the Obama 238 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: stimulus package. I don't think the American people elected Republicans 239 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: in sixteen to preside over a spending increase of this magnitude, 240 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: not to mention some of the things that might go 241 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: in the bill that are still being talked about, namely 242 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: bailouts for insurance companies and and elements like that. So 243 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: this builds a bad piece of legislations. I think you're 244 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: gonna see lots of Conservatives opposed Freedom Caucus will be 245 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: offering a number of amendments to try to change it. 246 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: We'll see how it all plays out in the next 247 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: forty eight hours. How seriously can we really take the 248 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: notion at this point that Republicans are the party of conservatives, 249 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: that conservatives don't want to spend beyond their means, and 250 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: that we're not just oh, we have the checkbook now, 251 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: so let's buy the things that we want as a party. 252 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: What evidence is there that I'm wrong on that one? 253 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: I watched an interview earlier today because, as I say, 254 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: I have the great advantage because you hear me later 255 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: in the day of I've been reading and listening and 256 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: watching and researching all day. I don't have much of 257 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: a life, but it means I got a lot to say. 258 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: On radio, I saw Paul Ryan and he was talking 259 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: about the increase for the military, and it's just so 260 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: interesting me. When does Paul Ryan decide to speak of 261 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: the House. He's really going to go to the mat 262 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: on decreasing spending answers is never gonna happen. And then 263 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: when the Democrats are in charge, Paul Ryan is gonna 264 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: be Mr. Depsit Hawk all over again. Deps it's twenty 265 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: one trillion dollars everybody twenty one trillion with the T 266 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: I know, people say, well, that's money we own ourselves. 267 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: Are we all ourselves? Um? Yeah, good luck with that one. 268 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,239 Speaker 1: When interest rates start to rise, Oh we owe to ourselves. 269 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: People are starting to get a little skittish, a little 270 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: nervous about what this means for the economy. And the 271 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: problem with it is that everyone I know who understands this, 272 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: that really understands it, not just pretends for the purposes 273 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: of being on TV, really understands what the macro economic 274 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: trend is here say that the problem with waiting until 275 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: you know it's a problem is that it is then 276 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: too late. When you wake up and you're like, oh wow, 277 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: the twenty one trillion, what number do you want me 278 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: to stop at? That that level of debt becomes unsustainable 279 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: when everyone understands that it will be too late and 280 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: you will have no one even really knows what the 281 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: full extent the economic consequences will be. But I know 282 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: who's going to benefit from it. China. China is gonna 283 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: benefit from it. Oh there you go, whoa uh, They're 284 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: going to be waiting in the wings to take over 285 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: as the dominant superpower. Right, that's the plan economically, is 286 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: how they think they're going to get there, and much 287 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: rather get there through that means than any other. So 288 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: I just want to know that, you know, Jim Jordan's 289 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: saying we're spending too much money. Everyone says we spend 290 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: too much money. In the Congress, nobody does a darn 291 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: thing about it. And even if there is a government shutdown, 292 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: which I don't think there will be, the government doesn't 293 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: even really shut down. It won't be sort of shut 294 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: down for long, and it won't matter. What will matter 295 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: is that we have spent too much darn money because 296 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: no one wants to be the politician, No one wants 297 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 1: to be the party of You know, you just can't 298 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: have five scoops of ice cream every day after dinner. 299 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: It's a bad idea. No, no five scoops for everyone. 300 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: He's holding the line for America. Buck sext in his 301 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: back look, did not talk. Shel Sandberg did not talk. 302 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: That's wrong, okay, pretty simple. Where the hell is he? 303 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: I want to compare for a moment to to the 304 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: financial crisis, everybody got called in. He didn't question JP 305 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: even with Lloyd combative JP Morrian with exception you know 306 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: victorim Pantai Okay in city. Look at these names that 307 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: I'm telling you. When I say Jamie, okay, when I 308 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: say Lloyd, when I say Zook, when I say Cheryl, 309 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: that's who you put out. Okay, you don't Mickey Mouse. 310 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: It don't Mickey Mouse. It don't Mickey Mouse, it says 311 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: Kramer about Zuckerberg going m I A on Facebook, the 312 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: CEO of Facebook. Some would say because he well, discussion 313 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: for another day. If you've seen the social network, you 314 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: know what direction I was going in. But yeah, he's 315 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: talking about the financial crisis. I think that's way exaggerated 316 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: as to what we're dealing with here with Facebook. This 317 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: is just, frankly not nearly as big of an issue 318 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: as the media wants to make it into a data 319 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: analytics firm, Cambridge Analytica UH that had some ties to 320 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: Trump's campaign, may have gotten access to information in violation 321 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: of a Facebook policy about uh you know, whether you 322 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: can I think there's an FTC issue here, Federal Trade 323 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: Commission with you have to opt in and you have 324 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: to get people notice if you're gonna use your data 325 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: for something. So here's why this is a just mounting 326 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 1: out of a molehill, because it's yet another explanation for 327 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 1: why Hillary lost the election. That's what this is. And 328 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: Facebook the arguably most powerful company in the world right now. 329 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: I mean it's definitely up there. It's definitely like top three, 330 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 1: maybe top five. Other than the builder Burg's illuminating, and 331 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: you know, Queen of England win't even calls all the shots. 332 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: Folks google it, google it. But other than you know, 333 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: a couple of other companies, Facebook is among the most 334 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: powerful companies in the world. And you have the CEO 335 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: running and hiding right now from this tempest. You know, 336 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: this uh wave of outrage over fifty million people who 337 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: may have had their basic Facebook information, that the basic 338 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: Facebook information shared. You get a kid who's running around 339 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: talking about how this is weaponizing people. You know, he 340 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: was part of the Cammebradge analytical team or something, and 341 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: now he's the whistleblower. He's weaponizing people's fears. I'm like, 342 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: unless you are writing down that you have a fear 343 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: of clowns or arachnids, Facebook does not know your fears. 344 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: And we're not even talking about going through your chat laws. 345 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: The algorithms don't exist to do what some of the 346 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: people in the media reporting on this are calling it 347 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: micro targeting. Oh it's not. It's micro targeting because macro 348 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: targeting has another word. It's called public relations. Were marketing. 349 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: It's tough to make that sound that scary. But in 350 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: this era of Mueller targeting Facebook puppets and Twitter sock 351 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: puppets for our Twitter trolls, for information warfare against the 352 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: United States, anything that you can tie to Trump involving 353 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: the Internet and information, you can make sounds scary and 354 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: people will believe it. This is a non story. This 355 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: is not scary. Not only is it not scary, but 356 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: as I mentioned to you yesterday, the Obama campaign back 357 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: in was bragging about this and Facebook, and you can 358 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 1: check this is on the record. You look it up, 359 00:22:55,240 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: you'll see Facebook figured out what the Obama campaign, the 360 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: Obama digital team was up to with this data, and 361 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: they're like, well, you know, we don't really think that 362 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: that's the way we that this should be used under 363 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 1: our terms of service. Keep in mind, this isn't like 364 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 1: the Constitution in terms of service for Internet companies. We're 365 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: really discussing here, you know, how the information they're gathering, 366 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: the information they have it, it's just how it's gonna 367 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: be used, and they they already have it. And Facebook 368 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: is already using it. By the way, you gotta remember 369 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: that too. Facebook already has all this and is selling 370 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: it to advertisers. It's just a question of how it's 371 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 1: package and what protocols are in place. Some of this 372 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: is driven by the FTC. Someone's just Facebook trying to, 373 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: you know, be a company that people want to continue 374 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: to use. But the reason that for those you are listening, 375 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 1: the reason that you see ads for things you're like, Oh, 376 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: I kind of like that. I think I might have 377 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: to buy those waterproof hiking boots. How did Facebook? No, 378 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 1: it's not because they have some super secret squirrel algori 379 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: rhythm that understands that you like the color beige and 380 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: you're somebody who grew up in an outdoorsy family and 381 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: didn't know you did a searcher. You know, they know 382 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: where you are. They can do locate you. You did 383 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: a search recently for footwear. It's wintertime, bam hiking boots. 384 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: Look at that. If you're here in New York City, snowshoes. 385 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: Because we're about to get she lacked apparently first day 386 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: of spring. Every Yeah, first day of spring, come out 387 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: to the coast, have a few lefts. It's not gonna 388 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: be funny. We're up to our up to our ears 389 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: in snow tomorrow. But I digress. Maybe I'll be able 390 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 1: to cross country ski into the radio studio the other 391 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: part of the Cambra generally, I think, I know they 392 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: suspended the CEO, but yeah, that's the people want to know. 393 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: Who are journalists? Are honest? By the way, about Cambra generally, 394 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: nickol are the ones we're saying. They're not even a 395 00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: good analytics company. They're not even good at this. Why 396 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,239 Speaker 1: is everyone pretending like they're good? Oh? It brings me 397 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: back to my initial point that it's an excuse for 398 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: Hillary lost. Someone violated Facebook's terms of service with a 399 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: super secret algorithm that was doing micro targeting to exploit 400 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: your fears, and it was information warfare, it was weaponizing 401 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: personal data. These are just all exaggerated words for marketing, 402 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: for social media marketing. That's it. But the reason people 403 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: are pretending to believe it or are willing to believe it, 404 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: because I do think that Trump arrangement syndrome brings otherwise sentient, 405 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: functioning adults into a place of crazy town. The reason 406 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: they will believe it is that it is yet another 407 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: excuse for Hillary loss. I just don't know which is 408 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: the main excuse this week. I'm gonna return to this 409 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: later on the show. I want to know what the 410 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 1: main reason why Hillary lost is. It's never that she 411 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: was like I hate Peo Paul and I'm entitled and 412 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: grasping and terrible. It's never that. It's never that she's 413 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: the most dishonest, unlikable politician of her generation. It's always 414 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: something else. Now here's my theory on this. I don't 415 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: believe that Democrats think that Hillary is actually a great politician. 416 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: I just think it makes them feel better to believe 417 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: that she was cheated. They they would prefer They don't 418 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: want to deal with the reality of Hillary, even if 419 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: they know that she was a weak candidate, which is 420 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: probably a small subset overall of what we're talking about. 421 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: But it also feeds into how much they hate Trump. 422 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: If Trump is a cheater, he's even worse than they thought. 423 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: And how is that even possible? I don't know, because 424 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: I think he's a you know, Trump is a is 425 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: a racist, misogynist, molester. You know, all these things that 426 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: they say about the President of the United States all 427 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: the time, and they're gonna forget about this, but we're not. 428 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: They have so lower the discourse when it comes to 429 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: the respect shown to a presidency. I can tell you this. 430 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: I've I've been doing media now, gosh going on eight years. 431 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: It never would have occurred to me, and I would 432 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: have been unwilling, if told to, to speak with the 433 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: same level of personal disrespect about Barack Obama. Not that 434 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 1: I didn't have enormous problems with Obama and thought that 435 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: he was a bad president. I did, but I never 436 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 1: would have spoken with the same level of just blatant 437 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: personal snide disrespect that I see on CNN and MSNBC 438 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: in other places seven about this president all the time. 439 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: It's normal now, it's normal to call him a criminal, 440 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,439 Speaker 1: a traitor. And and what's amazing to me is that 441 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: the Trump't arrangement syndrome of the media has prevents them 442 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: from understanding what the long term implications of this are. 443 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna remember this a right, just like we were 444 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: ber what happened with Hillary's emails, just like we remember 445 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton lying under oath and being an actual molester, 446 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: assaulter and overall gross detestable person. That's real me. You know, 447 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,719 Speaker 1: I just luck, ladies. I just want to get them 448 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: close and give him hug and kisses and teach them 449 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: all about being president. As much as we look at 450 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: all this now, they don't even understand that we will 451 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:33,479 Speaker 1: remember and that. But that's why they get so wound 452 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: up about Cambridge Analytica because it fits into their their 453 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: favorite psychological need right now, which is Trump cheated, Trump cheated, 454 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: Trump cheated. They have to repeat this to themselves, the 455 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: idea that the Trump phenomenon is real and based on 456 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: what a majority of the American electorate via the Electoral 457 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: College and the system that we have wanted for this country, 458 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: was in fact that that the majority one. It was 459 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: in fact Trump is um and not another eight years 460 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: of Clintonian garbage of devolution via Clinton. The fact that 461 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: that's the kay they they just won't accept it. They 462 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: won't accept it. That's what the Cambridge Onelytical thing comes 463 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: down to. Nothing's gonna happen here. Oh, people are talking 464 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: about They're going to pay some fine. Cambradge Analytical Bank 465 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: go bankrupt, they say, all forty dollars for a violation 466 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: of under FTC of Privacy regulations. Oh there needs to 467 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 1: be needs to speak before Congress and all this stuff. 468 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: This just goes to show you how much they have 469 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: created a frenzy around this because remember it was Facebook 470 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: also that was used by the Russians to target Now, right, 471 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: so face, what are the what is the more likely scenario? 472 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: Let let me pose it to you this way. That 473 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: Facebook is just a social media platform and people could 474 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: say and do things, and people will push ideas Paula 475 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: Dicks market products, all that the good, the bad, and 476 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: the ugly that comes along with it. Um Or that 477 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: both Russia and Cambridge Analytica separately did some terrible stuff 478 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: that used Facebook as the centerpiece of an information warfare 479 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: campaign to stop Hillary from being the president. Both of them, 480 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: not just one. Both they both did this. Now it's crazy, 481 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: isn't it? When I say it out loud too, I 482 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: feel like what is going on here? I I long 483 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: for the good old days when we talk about the 484 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: Affordable Care Act Obamacare and how it's gonna make healthcare 485 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: crappy because of the basic laws of supply and demand 486 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: and economics but oh, we have a moral obligation to 487 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: cover everybody ball, but it's gonna make things worse, and 488 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna cover people with less actual healthcare. Forget about cover. 489 00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: I missed those debates about those things. Instead, I literally 490 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: have to sit here and refute because it's the dominant 491 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: narrative that's being fed to you all the time, even 492 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: if you don't watch it an MSNBC. It's being fed 493 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: to the teachers and your kids schools. It's being fed 494 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: to the professors at your children's universities. It's being fed 495 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: to the c suite at wherever you work. It's being 496 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: fed to the politicians, especially if you're in a blue 497 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: part of the country. Never mind if you're in a 498 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: purple toss up area there too. It is permeating the 499 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: country around you. Whether you accept any aspect of the 500 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: narrative or not. If you rejected wholesale, like I do, 501 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: you still have to deal with it. So that's why 502 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: I show up here, roll up the sleeves and try 503 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: to just hammer away at this because we can't escape it. 504 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: I wish we could, but we can't. If we allow 505 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: it to go unopposed, then you'll just have Democrats winning 506 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: the mid terms, the Trump administration stime. Trump probably gets impeached. 507 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if he gets removed from office, depends 508 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: on what happens in the Senate. That's what happens if 509 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: we don't fight back, as you know, so fighting back means, unfortunately, 510 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: we have to play a bit of defense here, sometimes 511 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: ideologically speaking. Eight four four eight to five, eight four 512 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: four nine, buck, Oh gosh, I have much more. We're 513 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: gonna talk about that shooting, school shooting in Maryland and 514 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: why this is going to be a shooting that you 515 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: hear about for for a maximum twenty four hours and 516 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: that will be it. Now. I understand that we're not 517 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: a lot of fatality. There are differences here. I'm clear 518 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: and honest about that. But do we think that gave 519 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: in all the movement? They just had the big march 520 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: on d C. But hold hold on, we'll get to it. 521 00:32:48,160 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: We'll get to it. Stay with me. There's an update 522 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: here on a story that you will not hear much 523 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: about from the media. I covered it on the show. 524 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: If I recall early on when I was first on 525 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: the air here on the Box Section show with Premiere 526 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: Networks about a year ago, um, but this is about 527 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: the the terrible situate, a terrible case of Justine Damond 528 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: who was killed by a police officer in Minneapolis. And 529 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: the story was that she had called the police there 530 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: was a concern about a sexual assault in an alleyway 531 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: and she can't walked out of her home and walked 532 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: up to the patrol car. This was on I'm sorry, No, 533 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: this is about yeah, this was July. It wasn't a 534 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: year ago. It was about gosh, I can't keep track 535 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: of the time, this past summer. And she walked up 536 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: to the passenger side of the police car. There are 537 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: two cops in the car and one police and the 538 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 1: police officer in the passenger side just pulled out his 539 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:18,800 Speaker 1: gun and shot her. Uh pose, no threat, not not nothing, 540 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: just pulled out his gun and shot her. And people 541 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: were wondering, especially at this time of particular sensitivity to 542 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: any unjustifiable force, unjustified law enforcement lethal force in particular, 543 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 1: how come this wasn't getting more attention. Oh well, the 544 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,760 Speaker 1: in this case alleged murderer because he has been charged 545 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: with murder by the Districttorney's office. The alleged murder was 546 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:55,359 Speaker 1: officer Mohammed Nor, who was of Somali dissent and had 547 00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 1: been widely celebrated on the force he was of. It 548 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: was considered a big, a big win to bring on 549 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: Officer Nor from the Somali American population of Minneapolis, which, 550 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: as you know, there's a large Somali diaspora in Minnesota. 551 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 1: And Officer Nor was someone that they were publicly the 552 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: department saying, see, you know, diversity, and an Officer Nor 553 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: killed this woman at close range for no one. To 554 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: this day, he hasn't spoken publicly about this and he 555 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: will not speak to investigators about it. No one that's 556 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: there really knows. I just on the district attorney and 557 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: making the right move from what I can see here. 558 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 1: Uh charged charged a second degree Uh? Second agree, I'm sorry. 559 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: Third agree murder charge for perpetrating an eminently dangerous act 560 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 1: while showing a depraved mind charting depraved mind murder here, folks. 561 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 1: Second agree manslaughter that he that's an additional charge that 562 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: he acted with culpable negligence creating an unreasonable risk. And 563 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,360 Speaker 1: I assume they're gonna get him on that one. But 564 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:12,720 Speaker 1: why even charged depraved mind murder of a police officer 565 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: of a woman who posed no threat, and he saw Australian, 566 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 1: wonderful young woman. It's terrible for her family. Why the 567 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: d a charge to prave mind murder unless they had 568 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 1: reason to believe that the guy had to prave mind. 569 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:37,919 Speaker 1: There's gotta be more here. He's back with you now, 570 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: because when it comes to the fight for truth, the 571 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: fuck never stops. When the shooting took place, our school 572 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: resource officer, who was stationed inside the school, was alerted 573 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: to the event and the shots being fired. UH. He 574 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 1: pursued the shooter and engaged the shooter, during which that 575 00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:01,360 Speaker 1: engagement he fired a round at the shooter. Simultaneously, the 576 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,359 Speaker 1: shooter fired around as well. So in the hours to come, 577 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: in the days to come, through detailed investigation, we will 578 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:14,280 Speaker 1: be able to determine UM if our school resource officers 579 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:19,320 Speaker 1: round struck the shooter. UH. The these school resource officer 580 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: is uninjured and was not struck by any firearm projectile. 581 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 1: Welcome to our two of the Buck Sexton show. UH 582 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 1: school shooting in Maryland Earlier today, you just heard law enforcement. 583 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 1: They're giving a rundown as to what what happened. UH. 584 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: You had Austin Wyatt Rollins seventeen the only fatality, he 585 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 1: was the shooter. So, as these situations go, when you 586 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: only have one fatality, that's the shooter. Um, you know, 587 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: and obviously could have been much much worse. But you 588 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: do have a sixteen year old female student in the 589 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: I see you with life threatening injuries and a fourteen 590 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: year old male student was shot, but he's in stable conditions. 591 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: So two shot and wounded, one in life threatening condition. Um, 592 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,879 Speaker 1: But the shooter is the shooters down, the shooter is dead. 593 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: And this was because and you're all ready for this, 594 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,800 Speaker 1: of a good guy with a gun, Deputy Blaine gas Skill, 595 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,320 Speaker 1: who was the school resource officer also I read happens 596 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: to be a member of a swat team. So for 597 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: those who insist that it's impossible to get people with 598 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 1: the right training to be able to also be patrolling 599 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: in schools, well, you've got a guy who was squat 600 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: who was a school resource officer. Here. The shooting happened, 601 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: and we don't know the specifics, but given the training 602 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: and background that officer, our deputy gas Skill had, UM, 603 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: I would I would be willing to uh to wager 604 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,919 Speaker 1: that would likely happen is that the shooter drew down 605 00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: on him. When confronted Deputy Gaskill, you know, waited and 606 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: then this guy took a shot, meaning the shooter took 607 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: a shot and Gaskell took a shot Gaskell. We don't 608 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: know this yet, but it seems likely to me that 609 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,800 Speaker 1: Gaskell did not miss unless the school shooter took his 610 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 1: own life. But that doesn't that doesn't make any sense. 611 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: Then you'd only have Gaskell missing once and then maybe 612 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: the shooter taking us off. I doubt that. It seems 613 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: to me it's likely there was an exchange of gun 614 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: fire here. We don't know. We don't know. I'm just 615 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 1: trying to read beyond the headlines a little bit with that. Um, 616 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: But I I'd be my assumption here, My working assumption 617 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 1: is that the shooter tried to fire on Gaskell, Gascroll 618 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: returned fire, hit him with one round, killed him. Um. 619 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: And we'll see we get the full read out the 620 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: report on that, I'll know if that analysis is correct 621 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 1: or not. But you're not gonna hear a lot about 622 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: this shooting for the in the days ahead. This one's 623 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: not and it's looking at two people who were shot. 624 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: Given the amount of attention paid to school safety and 625 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: school shootings, right now, you would think that this would 626 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,280 Speaker 1: be a top of mind story for much of the media. 627 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,359 Speaker 1: I have seen very little of it on See an 628 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,720 Speaker 1: End Tonight, for example. A lot of talk about Trump 629 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 1: congratulating Putin. We'll get into that later on in the show. 630 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 1: By the way, I don't think we're gonna skip over that. 631 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,879 Speaker 1: But they're not going to talk much about this because 632 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: a good guy with a with a gun stopped a 633 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 1: bad guy with a gun, and that's not the storyline 634 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 1: that the media. That's not the narrative that they want 635 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 1: to run with. They want guns out of schools and 636 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: out of your hands. They want no guns, they want 637 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 1: gun bands, they want gun restrictions. That's the purpose of 638 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 1: this movement that has arisen from the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas 639 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,720 Speaker 1: High School shooting about a month ago in Parkland, Florida. 640 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: It exists for a purpose. The purpose is not just 641 00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: generic school safety. It is gun control, and it is 642 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,719 Speaker 1: to change the discussion the culture around guns such that 643 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: abridging the Second Amendment partially and then eventually entirely abrogating it. 644 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 1: That's what they're trying to do. This is incrementalism under 645 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 1: the guise of a general security discussion. And because in 646 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: this case, a school resource officer was able to confront, disrupt, 647 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 1: stop an active shooter situation in the school, that's not 648 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 1: the storyline that they want. That's not what you're that's 649 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: not what's gonna be on the evening news for the 650 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 1: next three days. Because we've talked about this. Republicans, you know, 651 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 1: the n r A, these vilified gun owners across the country, 652 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 1: anyone who supports the Second Amendment, a lot of them 653 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 1: have been saying, yeah, if you we want more armed 654 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 1: or armed officers in school. Most people have had ideas 655 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 1: about programs specifically for for veterans, those who've got the 656 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: you know, the weapons training and just the desire to 657 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: protect our our kids across the country, and there's all 658 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:16,360 Speaker 1: these ideas put out there about having more armed personnel 659 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: in schools for exactly this kind of a situation. But 660 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 1: that's not what they want. That's not what the left 661 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 1: is going for here. It's not about keeping kids safe. 662 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 1: It's about taking organs. And that's why officer gas Skill, 663 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: s Rrows, school resource officer and SWAT team member is 664 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 1: not going to be a name you here that much 665 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 1: more in the days ahead. UM and I know that 666 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:45,760 Speaker 1: some people are also choosing not to name the shooter. 667 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,319 Speaker 1: I'll try to leave it out of the rest of 668 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 1: the discussion. I think that that's a guideline more than 669 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,440 Speaker 1: a rule. It's very hard to talk about what what 670 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 1: could have been a homicide here certainly was a attempted, 671 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 1: multiple attempted murder, and not name the person at all involved. 672 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 1: There's some reporting that this may have been a um, 673 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: a former He might have shot a former girlfriend that 674 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,399 Speaker 1: you know who. We don't really know, well, we don't 675 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 1: really know. We just know that somebody's inna school trying 676 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:20,400 Speaker 1: to kill people, and resource officers stopped him. Will this, 677 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 1: in any way you think, influence the discussion, influence the 678 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 1: conversation that's going to be happening in the next few 679 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 1: days about the March four Our Lives as it's being called, 680 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:39,080 Speaker 1: which is gonna be happening this coming weekend. Um, this 681 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 1: is the Washington Post reporting on it. Uh, let me 682 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,359 Speaker 1: give you a little bit of what the details are here. 683 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,799 Speaker 1: Federal agents will be on watch, d C police will 684 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 1: be in full force, and metro trains will run every 685 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 1: few minutes to accommodate the five hundred thousand people expected 686 00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,959 Speaker 1: to descend on downtown Washington, d C. This coming week 687 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:04,920 Speaker 1: end for the March for Our Lives rally UH.

It will 690 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,719 Speaker 1: draw thousands of students, many of them under eighteen, so 691 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:18,840 Speaker 1: officials are saying they're taking extra care to ensure the 692 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,919 Speaker 1: safety of protesters. There's also gonna be a huge march 693 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 1: here in New York Right right producer Mike.

I even 696 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:36,399 Speaker 1: heard some people that I somebody asked, uh. Somebody asked 697 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,319 Speaker 1: me a lot, I'm not gonna gain any specific Somebody 698 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,920 Speaker 1: asked me you, oh, hey, are you this is just 699 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,080 Speaker 1: a friend of a friend, alright, a friend of a friend. 700 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 1: Are you gonna go go to this anti gun violence 701 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: march this weekend? I was like, do you listen to 702 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,239 Speaker 1: my radio? Do you know anything about who who you're 703 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: talking to? You? Do you think I'm gonna go to 704 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,719 Speaker 1: a march that says that if it were really about 705 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,920 Speaker 1: stopping violence? Yeah, of course, we're all in favor of that. 706 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 1: It's a gun control march, that's what this is. And 707 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 1: the fact that it's being given this the name and 708 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,839 Speaker 1: the branding or the March for Our Lives, you know 709 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,360 Speaker 1: that you're dealing with progressives in the left behind the 710 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 1: scenes when you have these slogans, these phrases, the stuff 711 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 1: that's going to go up on the placards that is 712 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,720 Speaker 1: not only meant to bring people together for the cause, 713 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 1: but if you're not for it, you're a bad person. 714 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,680 Speaker 1: If somehow you're opposed to this, you're you're not You're 715 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 1: mean your pro violence or something. Because it's a March 716 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 1: for our lives? Are you opposed to children's lives? Well, no, 717 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:37,759 Speaker 1: of course not. Well how can you be opposed to 718 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 1: the march? Then? Buck? Oh my gosh's amazing what they 719 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 1: do here kind of reminds me. And this is an aside, 720 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 1: but I'm a big fan of the show Parks and 721 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 1: Wreck and people sometimes say that I look like one 722 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,319 Speaker 1: of the guys on there, but I do not look 723 00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,920 Speaker 1: like Yeah, John is shaking his head. Yes, that is false. 724 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,959 Speaker 1: First of all, that guy, whatever his name is, he's 725 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,600 Speaker 1: like five three hundred and ten pounds or something. All right, 726 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:05,120 Speaker 1: so let's just start with that. I'm six ft and 727 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 1: not add and ten pounds, so let's leave it at that. 728 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:12,919 Speaker 1: But it's a great show. I would skip the whole 729 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,719 Speaker 1: this first season. This is the advice I always give 730 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,479 Speaker 1: about the show, because one of my ten favorite shows 731 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 1: of all time. I'd skipped the first season entirely and 732 00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,200 Speaker 1: go to the second season. Just start with the sexth season. 733 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:25,919 Speaker 1: But there's a cult called the Reasonable Lists, and they 734 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,759 Speaker 1: meet every year in the park and they say the 735 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 1: world's gonna end tomorrow, and of course each year, the 736 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: big the gag is that the world doesn't end. They go, oh, no, 737 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 1: we misread the the book. We have that like the 738 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 1: fire breathing alien space monster left for us and all 739 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 1: this stuff. And each year they do this. But they 740 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 1: call themselves the Reasonable Lists because if you're opposed to them, 741 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:53,279 Speaker 1: well clearly you're not reasonable. And it's it's a joke. 742 00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 1: It's a funny show. It's a very light show. But 743 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,279 Speaker 1: this is true, folks. And this goes all the way 744 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 1: back to Orwell and his essays on the English language 745 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:06,279 Speaker 1: about political words and the efforts that political movements and 746 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 1: politicians go through to use terms, to use use phrases 747 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 1: that obscure what they really want. You know, you sit here, 748 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 1: you're probably thinking out loud to me right now. Uh, 749 00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 1: you know, pro choice, What does that even mean? What 750 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,640 Speaker 1: does it mean to be pro choice? If it's if 751 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,239 Speaker 1: it's fine, if it's a constitutional right. Why don't you 752 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 1: say pro abortion? Why say pro choice? Oh, it's to 753 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:35,880 Speaker 1: obscure the actual intent of the movement. And you can 754 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 1: go down any number of these. And this is also 755 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 1: why they, you know, talking about undocumented immigrants. By using 756 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: those words, you are conceding that they're just immigrants and 757 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,680 Speaker 1: it's just a question of changing the documents then they'll 758 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,160 Speaker 1: be immigrants. Then it's fine, it's legal, it's good on 759 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 1: the March for our lives. Very clever marketing, which is 760 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,000 Speaker 1: what this what is what this spoils down, Very clever marketing, 761 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,800 Speaker 1: because if you know, what somebody asks a friend of 762 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 1: a friend is like, hey, is Buck gonna go march 763 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:07,799 Speaker 1: this weekend? It's like, no, Buck is not gonna go 764 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,880 Speaker 1: March this weekend because he knows what it's about. But 765 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,399 Speaker 1: two people that have a passing familiarity with what's going 766 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 1: on in the country, you don't pay that much attention 767 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,239 Speaker 1: to news, don't really care that much. They're just like, well, 768 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 1: I'm gonna marr. I don't want to march here. It's 769 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,919 Speaker 1: a big march for for kids in safety and march 770 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 1: for our lives. Women's March another great example. Are you 771 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 1: opposed to women? No, I'm rather fond of women, But 772 00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:37,000 Speaker 1: if you're opposed to the Women's March, then you must 773 00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 1: be you know you're you're anti women, right. This is 774 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 1: what they do time and time again. Look, it's I'm 775 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:43,440 Speaker 1: a big believer in the first thing. I'm like liberals, 776 00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,719 Speaker 1: I'm actually believe in the First Amendment. But if you 777 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,360 Speaker 1: want to have a big anti gun march, if you 778 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 1: want to have a big gun confiscation or restriction march, 779 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 1: just say, you know, a march to end a march 780 00:48:54,600 --> 00:49:00,160 Speaker 1: to end guns, you know, a march against gun in 781 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 1: American society, a march against the Second Amendment, a march 782 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 1: to change the constitution. Just say what it is, be 783 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:12,400 Speaker 1: honest about it. I don't like the dishonesty and it 784 00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,840 Speaker 1: undermines any willingness that I really want to that that 785 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,319 Speaker 1: I'm willing to show the other side and discussing the 786 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 1: issue much further with them, because I know it's gonna happen. 787 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,400 Speaker 1: They're gonna have a bunch of speeches that have been 788 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 1: handed to or had activists working at least on, a 789 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,760 Speaker 1: bunch of speeches from you know, eighteen year olds, seventeen 790 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,919 Speaker 1: year old, sixteen year olds who were telling us about 791 00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,480 Speaker 1: the role of guns in American society, as you know, 792 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 1: to discuss school violence, which is going down and is 793 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,959 Speaker 1: actually quite rare. There's ale book of schools really haven't 794 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 1: done it. Yeah, things happen all the time, folks, Lots 795 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,320 Speaker 1: of bad stuff happens all the time. I just found 796 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:55,520 Speaker 1: I was astonished yesterday forty thousand people died in car 797 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,800 Speaker 1: accents last year. I thought it was more like thirty. 798 00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:02,840 Speaker 1: Very very bad things happen. That's not new, that's not unusual. 799 00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 1: That's not some revelation changing policy because and don't even 800 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:10,880 Speaker 1: get me started on why we're not talking about the 801 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,319 Speaker 1: violence that happens with students outside of schools. A lot 802 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 1: of it are on drugs, a lot of the inner city. No, No, 803 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,600 Speaker 1: that that's not the discussion. Let's have a discussion instead 804 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,719 Speaker 1: about well, whatever it is they're gonna be talking about 805 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:27,680 Speaker 1: these marches, how cowardly politicians won't stand up to the 806 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,960 Speaker 1: n r A. How we're gonna have teenagers in some 807 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,719 Speaker 1: cases who have never voted, and I have no idea 808 00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,400 Speaker 1: what they're talking about on any of these political issues, 809 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 1: yelling at how the n r A owns politicians and 810 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,720 Speaker 1: the n r A is a terrorist organization, and adults 811 00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 1: are going to be standing behind them kind of snickering 812 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,359 Speaker 1: to each other, you know, ha ha. There's nothing. No 813 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,440 Speaker 1: one can say anything about this because these are the victims, right, 814 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,960 Speaker 1: these are this is now. This is now. Victim splaining 815 00:50:54,680 --> 00:51:10,600 Speaker 1: is what is happening. Democrats love to do it. Speaking 816 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 1: of House of Cards, that show, one of the main 817 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 1: messages that it sends is that politics is spectacle. After 818 00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:24,040 Speaker 1: spoiler alert, um, after Zoe Barnes is killed, clar sorry, 819 00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:28,239 Speaker 1: I'm a little behind, okay, So that's the most controversial 820 00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:32,400 Speaker 1: thing that's ever So after one of the characters is killed, 821 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,239 Speaker 1: Claire immediately turns to him your and starts putting on 822 00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:39,360 Speaker 1: the makeup. And what that symbolizes is how politics is spectacle. 823 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:45,919 Speaker 1: That's in real life too. That's uh.

Says, the n r A 830 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:12,640 Speaker 1: owns politicians. That's and now he's I'm sure he's gonna 831 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 1: be giving the among the keynote addresses at one of 832 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,799 Speaker 1: these marchins. I'm not sure which one, but you're hearing 833 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 1: there talking about you know, Yeah, he's watched House of Cards, 834 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:24,080 Speaker 1: so he understands politics and stuff. Look, you make yourself 835 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,239 Speaker 1: the center of a national political debate, you don't get 836 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,359 Speaker 1: to fall back on the Oh, no, I've been traumatized, 837 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,279 Speaker 1: so you can't say that what I'm saying is wrong 838 00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,480 Speaker 1: or dumb. A lot of what that kid has said 839 00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:38,080 Speaker 1: is wrong and dumb. Just the truth. I don't know 840 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 1: why it's a problem for us to say it, but 841 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:41,879 Speaker 1: you know what, Democrats, it's often a problem to say 842 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,640 Speaker 1: the truth. Actually, these days the problem said the truth 843 00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:48,080 Speaker 1: to a lot of people. Dr Rick wants to u 844 00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,759 Speaker 1: join in the conversation from Silver Springs moment. Dr Rick, 845 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:52,319 Speaker 1: do you know where this is? This school pretty close 846 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:55,799 Speaker 1: to you? I know you're down in Maryland. Um, you know, 847 00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,919 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I mean what I know is, oh, 848 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:03,399 Speaker 1: oh at St. Mary's County. At schools not that big. 849 00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,480 Speaker 1: I mean, how far away could this be? Probably about 850 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:10,080 Speaker 1: an hour away? Um, you know. And it's very sad, 851 00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,360 Speaker 1: but this is not a mass shooting. And I was 852 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,240 Speaker 1: one another station talking about the mass shootings that occurred. 853 00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,160 Speaker 1: These were very sick kids known for a long time. 854 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,920 Speaker 1: But my my, you know, I am just steamed because 855 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,280 Speaker 1: I paid twenty three thousand dollars a year to send 856 00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:29,560 Speaker 1: my child to a Catholic school high school, and they 857 00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,799 Speaker 1: were forced, you know, they wouldn't say it forced, but 858 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:37,360 Speaker 1: everyone left the school on the seventeen minutes to pray 859 00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:41,000 Speaker 1: at the grotto. They tried to say it was only prayerful, 860 00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:45,719 Speaker 1: but it was so political. And I've had ongoing dialogue 861 00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:47,919 Speaker 1: with the president of the school and the principle because 862 00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:53,600 Speaker 1: I am one of several vocal steamed parents about the 863 00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:57,279 Speaker 1: um it's just being ran down the throat. There is 864 00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:01,719 Speaker 1: no balance, there's no diversity of stall on this whatsoever. 865 00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:06,280 Speaker 1: And it is just using them as political pawns and propaganda. 866 00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:10,920 Speaker 1: It's indoctrination and it is despicable. Well, as I've been saying, 867 00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,360 Speaker 1: and I would had to Matt Walsh over the Daily 868 00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,560 Speaker 1: Wire for putting this idea out there publicly. Students should 869 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:21,680 Speaker 1: advocate for a walkout for life, meaning a pro life march, 870 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,320 Speaker 1: and see if the teachers unions and all these different 871 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:29,120 Speaker 1: schools across the country will back it. Excuse student absences, 872 00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,360 Speaker 1: pay for people to be doing politics, the the adults 873 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,880 Speaker 1: on you know, on the on the clock. I'm willing 874 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,520 Speaker 1: to bet Dr Rick the answer is a firm no 875 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,359 Speaker 1: on all that. But they should test it. They should 876 00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:41,879 Speaker 1: test the idea of doctor Oric. Thank you for calling 877 00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,319 Speaker 1: it from Maryland. Um, we're gonna be talking about immigration 878 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,000 Speaker 1: coming up here in just a few moments. We've got 879 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:52,440 Speaker 1: more updates on that and my my thesis about the 880 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,520 Speaker 1: opioid epidemic and the cartels by the way, we're putting 881 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,880 Speaker 1: more and more together on that, seeing more research on. 882 00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,120 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that and also try and congratulated Putin. 883 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,640 Speaker 1: Oh no, that's so terrible, except Obama did exactly the 884 00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:18,759 Speaker 1: same thing after Putin's last election victory. He's holding the 885 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:23,680 Speaker 1: line for America, buck Sexton his back. In another case, 886 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,000 Speaker 1: an alleged illegal gang member was arrested by the San 887 00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 1: Francisco Police Department more than ten times between two thousand 888 00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:36,360 Speaker 1: and thirteen and two thousand and seventeen for charges including 889 00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:41,160 Speaker 1: domestic battery, assault, theft, and rape. But San Francisco refused 890 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,840 Speaker 1: to cooperate with ice. You know that very well, don't 891 00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,239 Speaker 1: you tell? You have a lot of problems with that, 892 00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,319 Speaker 1: And he kept getting released over and over again. He 893 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:54,800 Speaker 1: was released. Sanctuary cities and states like California put innocent 894 00:55:54,840 --> 00:56:01,120 Speaker 1: Americans at the mercy of hardened criminals, hardened murderers many cases. 895 00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:07,160 Speaker 1: President Trump speaking on the fight over immigration right now, 896 00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:11,319 Speaker 1: over illegal immigration, let's be quite clear on that, and 897 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:17,600 Speaker 1: all of the criminality and the negative ramifications, and all 898 00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:22,840 Speaker 1: of the pain and suffering an expense that the American 899 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 1: taxpayer has to go through because of illegal immigration. President 900 00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:31,120 Speaker 1: Trump has had enough. He is giving voice to a 901 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,479 Speaker 1: frustration that has existed in this country for a long time. 902 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:36,920 Speaker 1: We finally have a commander in chief. We finally have 903 00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,480 Speaker 1: a chief executive of the federal government who was saying 904 00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:46,919 Speaker 1: this cannot stand. And it comes at a particularly important 905 00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:51,239 Speaker 1: time here because you have a number of major fights 906 00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:55,720 Speaker 1: over illegal immigration going on right now. For one, remember 907 00:56:55,760 --> 00:57:00,640 Speaker 1: that the mayor who tipped off this was in Oakland. 908 00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,480 Speaker 1: I believe the mayor who tipped off legal immigrants to 909 00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,680 Speaker 1: array that was coming. And Jeff Sessions, who as you know, 910 00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:11,160 Speaker 1: was on the show last week, the Attorney General, completely 911 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,799 Speaker 1: skewered that decision. I just thought that was, as he said, 912 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:20,360 Speaker 1: an outrage. And some of them, some of the illegals 913 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:25,240 Speaker 1: who dodged the law enforcement effort to pick them up 914 00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,760 Speaker 1: because of that early warning by that Oakland mayor, according 915 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:32,960 Speaker 1: to Fox News here, have been picked off for new 916 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,600 Speaker 1: crimes that they have committed. So some of the ones 917 00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,000 Speaker 1: that got away thanks to the Oakland mayor did other 918 00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,920 Speaker 1: criminal things and so now they have been grab But 919 00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:45,800 Speaker 1: there's another really important fight playing out in California where 920 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:51,040 Speaker 1: the city of Los Alamitos, a small California city, is 921 00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:55,760 Speaker 1: trying to exempt itself from the state law in California, 922 00:57:55,800 --> 00:58:02,640 Speaker 1: which is effectively lawlessness. He it is a an effort, 923 00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:07,800 Speaker 1: an effort through the legislature, the California state legislature, to 924 00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 1: prevent any worthwhile serious cooperation with immigration authorities. The state 925 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:18,800 Speaker 1: of California. It's doing everything that it can. Just shy 926 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:23,080 Speaker 1: of ordering state law enforcement to stand in the doorway 927 00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,800 Speaker 1: and not let federal officers go through. That would be 928 00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:29,080 Speaker 1: a very big problem. But they're doing everything up to that. Right. 929 00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 1: We we don't want private citizens to help immigrations and 930 00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:37,960 Speaker 1: customs enforcement. We don't want uh, we don't want law 931 00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:44,160 Speaker 1: enforcement to do so except in very narrow and specific circumstances. Uh. 932 00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 1: They are just deciding for the people of California that 933 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 1: illegal immigration is not illegal. That's what they're doing. There's 934 00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,160 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with it. Like they should be forced every 935 00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:59,320 Speaker 1: California politician should be forced to answer the question do 936 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:02,440 Speaker 1: you think there is anything wrong with illegal immigration? Because 937 00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:04,720 Speaker 1: they would say on the record, I don't think they would. 938 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,439 Speaker 1: I don't think that they would say no. They would 939 00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:12,160 Speaker 1: say future illegal immigration maybe is a problem. But illegal 940 00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:16,280 Speaker 1: immigrants in the country. No. They they they pick our produce. 941 00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:18,880 Speaker 1: They you know, they work in our restaurants, they work 942 00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:22,400 Speaker 1: in the service industry. They're the the the lifeblood of 943 00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:28,320 Speaker 1: American entrepreneurship. Now all that stuff. The Democrat Party is 944 00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:33,640 Speaker 1: absolutely decided on this issue right now. This they're becoming 945 00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:38,920 Speaker 1: increasingly a well I'd say a three a three issue party. 946 00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:45,160 Speaker 1: The Democrat Party today is defined by abortion, illegal immigration, 947 00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:51,680 Speaker 1: and redistribution of wealth, class warfare. Those are that's really 948 00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:58,160 Speaker 1: the the the triad of bad that the Democrat Party 949 00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:00,440 Speaker 1: is pulling together. Now, those are the issue shoes. You'll 950 01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:02,720 Speaker 1: see them rally around the most, the ones they believe 951 01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 1: in the most. Abortion, illegal immigration, and redistribution of wealth, 952 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:12,800 Speaker 1: which is just a nice way of saying Marxism. But nonetheless, 953 01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,040 Speaker 1: or how about we'll do class warfare. There we go, 954 01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:19,440 Speaker 1: class warfare. That one, I think is quite fair. One 955 01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,600 Speaker 1: of the things about the immigration issue, as you know, 956 01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,240 Speaker 1: I've been doing some deep dive research on my own 957 01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:30,000 Speaker 1: into the cartels and what's going on in Mexico, and 958 01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,440 Speaker 1: I've been seeing a trend for a while here. You 959 01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,040 Speaker 1: have over sixty thousand dead in the last year for 960 01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:38,120 Speaker 1: which we have complete numbers. I think it was sixty 961 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:42,760 Speaker 1: thousand dead or sixty three thousand and seen might have been. 962 01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,160 Speaker 1: I think it's seen. Anyway, over sixty tho are dying 963 01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,520 Speaker 1: a year from the opioid epidemic. You had Trump up 964 01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:50,000 Speaker 1: in New Hampshire, Jeff Sessions. They're pushing all kinds of 965 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:54,120 Speaker 1: new policies. I'll probably address that in some more detail tomorrow. 966 01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:57,320 Speaker 1: The the opioid crisis and how they're trying to tackle it. 967 01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:03,920 Speaker 1: But as a uh, part of the discussion that I 968 01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:07,360 Speaker 1: think it's left out ties very much into the immigration discussion. 969 01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,040 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I refuse to believe that you have 970 01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:14,240 Speaker 1: over sixty people dying in this country from drug overdoses 971 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:23,080 Speaker 1: and it's almost entirely the result of unscrupulous doctors. No, no, 972 01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:25,640 Speaker 1: and I know that. You know, if if I pushed 973 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:27,320 Speaker 1: enough on this issue and people said no, no, of 974 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,720 Speaker 1: course there's I mean, heroin is illegal, right, so anyone 975 01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:32,840 Speaker 1: who's overdosing on heroin. But people say, well, you know, 976 01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,080 Speaker 1: people get hooked on the legal opioid and they go 977 01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,400 Speaker 1: to heroin because it's more plentiful, it's cheaper. I say, 978 01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:40,760 Speaker 1: wait a second, why is it more plentiful? Why is 979 01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:44,000 Speaker 1: it cheaper? Or because of the cartels, because of the 980 01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:50,280 Speaker 1: Mexican narco traffickers, because of their poppy growing operations in 981 01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,800 Speaker 1: Mexico now no longer having to import it from South 982 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:56,800 Speaker 1: America or even South Asia. No, no, it's right across 983 01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,440 Speaker 1: the border now they are growing poppy. They are also 984 01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:04,520 Speaker 1: importing some cases from massive Chinese factories. Thanks for that one, China. 985 01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:07,600 Speaker 1: Another thing China's doing to hurt us. Uh, they're sending 986 01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:11,600 Speaker 1: in fentanyl and the chemical opioids and bringing them in 987 01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:14,640 Speaker 1: in large quantities. I don't have the owners known as this. 988 01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:20,160 Speaker 1: Over at Conservative View or Review, Daniel Horowitz wrote a 989 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:24,440 Speaker 1: piece Trump is right on drug traffickers. Heroin and fentanyl 990 01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:28,360 Speaker 1: are killing us. Seriously, It's not from prescriptions. Here's what 991 01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:30,080 Speaker 1: he writes the first paragraph. Those who claim to be 992 01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:33,520 Speaker 1: morally outraged by Trump's proposal the death penalty for drug traffickers, 993 01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:37,880 Speaker 1: especially cartel leaders, either have no heart themselves or oblivious 994 01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,240 Speaker 1: to the worst drug drug epidemic ever and how it 995 01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:44,200 Speaker 1: came about. And then he goes into some details about 996 01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:50,080 Speaker 1: synthetic opioids and the you know what, I'll let me 997 01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,480 Speaker 1: because I have to run in a break here. Um, 998 01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,880 Speaker 1: but here's the bottom line quote. The epidemic we are 999 01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,800 Speaker 1: facing today is not from prescription opioids, at least not 1000 01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,919 Speaker 1: more than it has been foreign entire generation. The number 1001 01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:05,920 Speaker 1: of prescriptions has already been reduced dramatically, almost the entirety 1002 01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:09,360 Speaker 1: of the increased fatalities above the long term existing trajectory. 1003 01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:13,000 Speaker 1: We're from illicit drugs and mainly the most dangerous one 1004 01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:19,200 Speaker 1: heroin end quote. Folks, the cartels are open border, illegal 1005 01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:24,000 Speaker 1: immigration and illegal crossings. They are killing thousands and thousands 1006 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 1: of US. It's the Democrats and the people on the 1007 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,240 Speaker 1: other side who are fueling this speculation. I can't see 1008 01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:43,720 Speaker 1: any conceivable reason why the president would even consider firing 1009 01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:47,400 Speaker 1: um Motherer. That would create a real problem on the 1010 01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:50,240 Speaker 1: Republican side of the aisle, as well as obviously on 1011 01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,400 Speaker 1: the Democratic side of the aisle. I don't think he's 1012 01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:55,640 Speaker 1: going to fire him. I don't think he should fire him. 1013 01:03:55,680 --> 01:04:00,120 Speaker 1: So we have to keep hearing stories though about how 1014 01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:03,360 Speaker 1: Trump may fire Mueller, may fire Muller, breaking news. Trump 1015 01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:10,040 Speaker 1: may fire Muller, and I could wake up tomorrow and 1016 01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,280 Speaker 1: we could be on a collision course with an asteroid 1017 01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:15,520 Speaker 1: that would destroy the planet. But I don't run that 1018 01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:19,200 Speaker 1: as breaking news every day. At some point this turns 1019 01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:22,880 Speaker 1: into what is clearly silly. At some point, this is 1020 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,880 Speaker 1: just too much. Oh, he's gonna He's gonna fire Muller. 1021 01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,880 Speaker 1: Now that's said. I really wish we could get on 1022 01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,280 Speaker 1: message here, because you do have some Republicans it's not 1023 01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:37,520 Speaker 1: just Democrats. Occasionally Republicans will come out and say, yeah, 1024 01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:40,160 Speaker 1: it's it's time to fire Muller. Like this, Matt gets 1025 01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:43,960 Speaker 1: fellow in Congress. I think that the president firing Mr 1026 01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,760 Speaker 1: Muller would create a series of conflicts and and other 1027 01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:48,880 Speaker 1: downstream effects that would be bad for the country. I 1028 01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:51,400 Speaker 1: think this is the job of the Attorney General. Because 1029 01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:54,920 Speaker 1: there's been no evidence of collusion produced by the Special Counsel, 1030 01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,600 Speaker 1: and because there's been a House finding of no conclusion 1031 01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:00,240 Speaker 1: in the Intelligence Committee, I think the Attorney General would 1032 01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:05,200 Speaker 1: be right to renounce his refusal to re establish command 1033 01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,919 Speaker 1: of the Department of Justice, and then to give Bob 1034 01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:10,360 Speaker 1: Muller a time period to produce the evidence that he 1035 01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:12,480 Speaker 1: may or may not have regarding collusion, and if he 1036 01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:14,760 Speaker 1: doesn't produce it, let's wrap this up and move on 1037 01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 1: to tax cuts and other important things for the country. 1038 01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:22,200 Speaker 1: So he's saying, let's let's have Sessions renounce the recusal 1039 01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:24,920 Speaker 1: and then come back in and then kind of wind 1040 01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:27,440 Speaker 1: this thing down. But he's gotta understand that if that happens, 1041 01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:30,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna say that there's pressure from the outside, and 1042 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:35,560 Speaker 1: it's as good as a firing and so we are 1043 01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:37,920 Speaker 1: stuck with this thing, folks, And the White House has 1044 01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:39,720 Speaker 1: come out and said not thinking about it. I believe 1045 01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,400 Speaker 1: Seawan Sean Hannity on his show has already said, Look, 1046 01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:45,440 Speaker 1: no one's even talking about Mueller getting fired. There's been 1047 01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,959 Speaker 1: assurances across the board it's not going to happen. And 1048 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,640 Speaker 1: I I do think that the fallout from it would 1049 01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:57,280 Speaker 1: be would be strong. The fallout from it would cause 1050 01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:03,560 Speaker 1: some problems. But I'm just But on the other hand, 1051 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:08,000 Speaker 1: on the other hand, there is a part of me 1052 01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:12,600 Speaker 1: that figures they're gonna hate Trump no matter what. Unless 1053 01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:18,160 Speaker 1: Republicans in Congress really planned on turning on the President 1054 01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:21,440 Speaker 1: because he took moves, whether it was a tell Sessions, look, 1055 01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:23,200 Speaker 1: there's a lot of ways that could happen, right, Maybe 1056 01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:25,880 Speaker 1: Sessions decides he's had enough and he wants to move aside. 1057 01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,680 Speaker 1: Maybe he tells Sessions on recuse yourself. This is nonsense, 1058 01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:33,600 Speaker 1: And I don't know, but but shutting it down in 1059 01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:37,520 Speaker 1: some way or creating a definitive endpoint to the Mueller probe. 1060 01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:42,400 Speaker 1: I understand why everyone's saying no, no, no, But there's 1061 01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:46,040 Speaker 1: a part of me that feels like, you know, maybe 1062 01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:50,920 Speaker 1: this is one big, ikey, crusty band aid that you 1063 01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,400 Speaker 1: just have to just just rip it off. Man. I mean, 1064 01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,600 Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna leave you with quite an alley afterwards. 1065 01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:00,160 Speaker 1: But there's a there is a part of that, it 1066 01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,720 Speaker 1: feels like this is what needs to be done here. Um, 1067 01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:06,480 Speaker 1: I understand it's not going to happen, and I'm not 1068 01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:11,200 Speaker 1: suggesting that it should happen. I'm just saying I understand 1069 01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:14,919 Speaker 1: the impulse. I'm just saying that I've really had enough 1070 01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,880 Speaker 1: of the Mueller probe. I'm I'm sick of it. I 1071 01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,560 Speaker 1: think that it is destructive. I think it's hurting the country. 1072 01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:22,800 Speaker 1: I think that it's become a clown show. I think 1073 01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:27,480 Speaker 1: it's obviously Democrat operatives working against the president, and they are. 1074 01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:31,240 Speaker 1: They are a cabal, and I mean, you can't make 1075 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,000 Speaker 1: this stuff up, folks. Call me is like the man scorned, 1076 01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:37,080 Speaker 1: and Mueller his close buddy is the one who's supposed 1077 01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,280 Speaker 1: to get vengeance for Comey and Hillary and all the 1078 01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:44,200 Speaker 1: rest of them. Understand that that top layer call Mey 1079 01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,880 Speaker 1: Brannan Brandon was probably gonna be Secretary of State if 1080 01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:51,439 Speaker 1: he if Hillary Clinton won, very very possible, right, They 1081 01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:58,000 Speaker 1: all feel like Hillary's loss personally affected them in ways 1082 01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:01,400 Speaker 1: that they feel like they deserve some some justice for 1083 01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:07,400 Speaker 1: they feel like Hillary losing to Trump cost them personally. 1084 01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:13,200 Speaker 1: And these are the people that have been unearthed now 1085 01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:17,960 Speaker 1: in this investigation, and some of them are directly tied 1086 01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,840 Speaker 1: to those who are running who are currently running the 1087 01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:25,400 Speaker 1: Special Council. It's so many, there are so many conflicts 1088 01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:27,719 Speaker 1: of interest her. But notice how the Democrats play the game. 1089 01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:30,920 Speaker 1: On our side, we have Attorney General Sessions is trying 1090 01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:33,120 Speaker 1: to be honorable, trying to be ethical. He accuses himself. 1091 01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:36,040 Speaker 1: Whether you like that decision or not, it's based in 1092 01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:41,360 Speaker 1: in an effort at ethical conduct. And did the REDDA 1093 01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:43,920 Speaker 1: inch accuse herself and the Hillary email investigation, come on, 1094 01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,479 Speaker 1: what are you? Are you a toddler? Right, that's what 1095 01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:50,479 Speaker 1: they would say. That's a joke. Roland's not gonna recuse herself, 1096 01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:52,840 Speaker 1: is gonna be there make sure the Hillary is okay. 1097 01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:59,320 Speaker 1: The Democrat Party's fortunes rested on hillary shoulders, as scary 1098 01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,640 Speaker 1: as that was, and the careers of a lot of 1099 01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:05,400 Speaker 1: these people who now we're finding out did in fact 1100 01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:10,080 Speaker 1: abuse their power and their authority in order to assist 1101 01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:14,800 Speaker 1: the anti Trump effort. A lot of them would have 1102 01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 1: advanced their careers even more too. So I I just 1103 01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:22,760 Speaker 1: look at this and and uh, I wonder if it's 1104 01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:25,160 Speaker 1: if we will let me put it to you this way, 1105 01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:27,120 Speaker 1: because I go back and forth, as you can tell, 1106 01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,400 Speaker 1: usually come into a segment. I'm like, this is the truth, 1107 01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:33,000 Speaker 1: this is what's best, this is what should happen with 1108 01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:37,120 Speaker 1: the you know, with with fiery Mueller, or with with 1109 01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,320 Speaker 1: shutting down the Special Council of the Apartment. It's like me, 1110 01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:42,719 Speaker 1: you know, at first, like oh no, no, it's crazy, 1111 01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,880 Speaker 1: we can't do that. That's a part of it goes Hey, 1112 01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:49,559 Speaker 1: there are worse things, There are worse things we can 1113 01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:51,719 Speaker 1: We can allow this to drag on forever. Ask yourself 1114 01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:55,599 Speaker 1: this question. Is there a point at which the Special 1115 01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:57,599 Speaker 1: Counsel would have gone on for too long? We would 1116 01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:00,480 Speaker 1: have seen too many news stories about it, too many 1117 01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, seeing and oh my gosh, the Special Counsel 1118 01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:07,160 Speaker 1: is going to be interviewing the lunch lady from the 1119 01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:11,200 Speaker 1: Trump campaign's headquarters. At what point is it too much? 1120 01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:16,200 Speaker 1: At what point have we heard too many preposterous conspiracy 1121 01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:19,400 Speaker 1: theories on TV? I can't even keep up with the conspiracies. Now, 1122 01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:23,559 Speaker 1: so this week, what is it that's right? This week? 1123 01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:28,760 Speaker 1: It's a combination of Russia and Facebook. Don't forget that. 1124 01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:32,080 Speaker 1: For a while they put this all on Comey. Comey 1125 01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:34,240 Speaker 1: was the guy that calls Hillary the election for a 1126 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:37,639 Speaker 1: good while. They've changed their tune on this. But that's 1127 01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:42,599 Speaker 1: a relatively new component of all this, right, I mean, 1128 01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:44,560 Speaker 1: or or rather they they've dropped that for now, but 1129 01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:47,160 Speaker 1: called me by bringing up the emails. See they stopped 1130 01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,800 Speaker 1: why they stopped talking about that because now Comy is 1131 01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:53,519 Speaker 1: the hero who got the special Counsel started. It's almost 1132 01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:55,760 Speaker 1: like Comey wanted to worm his way back into the 1133 01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:59,200 Speaker 1: good graces of the elite establishment just in time too, 1134 01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:00,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, get him all a million dollar advance 1135 01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:05,439 Speaker 1: on his book, right, and to pray at the altar 1136 01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:11,479 Speaker 1: of comyn. This is a guy who self regard exceeds well. 1137 01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:13,160 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people with a lot of self 1138 01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,960 Speaker 1: regard these days in the media and in government, so 1139 01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:18,479 Speaker 1: I can't even really find a benchmark for him. But 1140 01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,840 Speaker 1: it's crazy how much this guy loves himself. Crazy how 1141 01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,040 Speaker 1: much Comy is a I saw it written somewhere I 1142 01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,320 Speaker 1: can't remember where, it was now, but someone described Comy 1143 01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:29,080 Speaker 1: as a commy is ist. It's a very accurate description 1144 01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:33,599 Speaker 1: of how this individual is approaching so many different pretending 1145 01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:37,800 Speaker 1: he's a commy is ist in Patriots clothing, right, I mean, 1146 01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,200 Speaker 1: he's a he's a commyist. That he's always acting like 1147 01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:42,880 Speaker 1: he's the last honest man in in d C. And 1148 01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:45,640 Speaker 1: I always knew that there was a problem because he 1149 01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:47,920 Speaker 1: went along with that narrative, and the media was pushing 1150 01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:51,320 Speaker 1: that narrative long before the email thing, long before a 1151 01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:54,120 Speaker 1: lot of or rather when he brought the emails up. 1152 01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:57,840 Speaker 1: I'm talking right before the election, not before Hillary's email problem, 1153 01:11:57,840 --> 01:11:59,960 Speaker 1: but they were always all, you know, called me the 1154 01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,400 Speaker 1: last honest man. They're building him up so much during 1155 01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:06,120 Speaker 1: the email investigation into Hillary Server, I like, this guy 1156 01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,200 Speaker 1: is just he's buying his own press. You can't you 1157 01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:13,960 Speaker 1: can't trust this guy is someone you can trust. Sure Enough, 1158 01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:18,240 Speaker 1: we find out later on that he is a huge 1159 01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:21,360 Speaker 1: weirdo with no self awareness. And that's what we're dealing 1160 01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:25,519 Speaker 1: with now. So all right, don't fire Muller, but let's 1161 01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:29,360 Speaker 1: not rule out entirely forever A minimum will give seen 1162 01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:31,240 Speaker 1: and something to freak out about. If we just even 1163 01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,360 Speaker 1: talk about in the future. So that's where I come 1164 01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:35,760 Speaker 1: down on this one. I'm gonna give a little more thoughts, 1165 01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:38,160 Speaker 1: see if I can come up with a definitive buck answer. 1166 01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:50,920 Speaker 1: We got our three coming up. Stay with him. He's 1167 01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:53,360 Speaker 1: back with you now, because when it comes to the 1168 01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:59,559 Speaker 1: fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Welcome to our 1169 01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:01,920 Speaker 1: three of the bucks X and show everyone, thank you 1170 01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,840 Speaker 1: so much for being here. Uh wow, show is really 1171 01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:10,920 Speaker 1: moving along tonight. Um. We have this reality of a 1172 01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:14,479 Speaker 1: media that acts like we don't have access to the internet, 1173 01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:18,080 Speaker 1: that we can't look up the way things were, that 1174 01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:20,960 Speaker 1: whatever they say is going to be accepted as truth, 1175 01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:23,840 Speaker 1: and that hypocrisy is not going to be a problem. 1176 01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:27,080 Speaker 1: Let let me get into what I mean specifically here. 1177 01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:33,240 Speaker 1: All right. You had President Trump speaking today about have 1178 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:38,719 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin won the election, and Trump said the following 1179 01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:46,200 Speaker 1: I had a call with President Putin and congratulated him 1180 01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:50,360 Speaker 1: on the victory, his electoral victory. The call had to 1181 01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:55,599 Speaker 1: do also with the fact that we will uh probably 1182 01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:58,280 Speaker 1: get together in the not too distant future. We are 1183 01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:01,880 Speaker 1: spending seven billion dollars this year and our military and 1184 01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,080 Speaker 1: a lot of it is that we are going to 1185 01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:07,200 Speaker 1: remain stronger than any other nation in the world by far. 1186 01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:12,320 Speaker 1: We will never allow anybody to have anything even close 1187 01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:15,240 Speaker 1: to what we had. So Trump was getting a lot 1188 01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:20,120 Speaker 1: of heat for calling Vladimir Putin, and people were piling 1189 01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:23,760 Speaker 1: on that, Oh my gosh, the Kremlin's puppet. I mean, 1190 01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:30,280 Speaker 1: they act like they act like Trump is somehow exposing 1191 01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:32,760 Speaker 1: himself more and more with each passing day as how 1192 01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:35,559 Speaker 1: pro Russia he is. Meanwhile, Trump is the one who 1193 01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:40,559 Speaker 1: has the administration that is slapping even more sanctions on Russia. 1194 01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:44,240 Speaker 1: Trump is the one who has given sniper rifles, anti 1195 01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:49,559 Speaker 1: tank missiles to the Ukrainian Resistance, or rather Ukrainian National Government, 1196 01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:53,040 Speaker 1: fighting against the rebels in eastern Ukraine. Trump is the 1197 01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:56,519 Speaker 1: one who is the commander in chief while US forces 1198 01:14:56,560 --> 01:15:01,040 Speaker 1: backing up Kords in Syria killed two hundred Russians. We 1199 01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,720 Speaker 1: don't even know the number is The reports very widely, 1200 01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:09,439 Speaker 1: But that's all been Trump. But because of trump arrangement syndrome, 1201 01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:13,400 Speaker 1: the media still believes and he somehow a Russian puppet, 1202 01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:18,240 Speaker 1: that he secretly goes to bed at night pledging allegiance 1203 01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:21,880 Speaker 1: to the Kremlin, and that he mumbles Russian proverbs in 1204 01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:27,160 Speaker 1: his sleep. Meanwhile, the rest of us, trying to live 1205 01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:28,840 Speaker 1: in reality, see this for what it is, which is 1206 01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,120 Speaker 1: the president United States making a call to another head 1207 01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:36,599 Speaker 1: of state after he has had their version of an election. 1208 01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:38,960 Speaker 1: Now people will say to me, and I know, I 1209 01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:41,960 Speaker 1: can I can see it coming. They'll say, oh, but 1210 01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:47,920 Speaker 1: we will condemn unfair election practices in Iran, and we'll 1211 01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:50,040 Speaker 1: condemn it in North Korea, and we'll condemn it. And 1212 01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:55,400 Speaker 1: you know, name a dictatorship somewhere or quasi dictatorship. Did that? 1213 01:15:55,439 --> 01:16:00,160 Speaker 1: I respond, yeah, Well, every situation when you're talking talking 1214 01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:04,840 Speaker 1: about international relations is unique. Notice how the intelligencia, the 1215 01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:09,640 Speaker 1: so called smart set, all those very intelligent people and 1216 01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:13,920 Speaker 1: foggy bottom walking around, not like all the palises. Excuse me, sir, 1217 01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:16,840 Speaker 1: do you realize that we could give him a day 1218 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,400 Speaker 1: marsh and if we did marshed him enough, he might 1219 01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:27,280 Speaker 1: in fact yield to our palaceated mads. In reality, Russia 1220 01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:30,639 Speaker 1: is still a very important country with a very large 1221 01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:34,720 Speaker 1: nuclear arsenal. It is much more important for what it 1222 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:37,479 Speaker 1: can do on the bad side of things than what 1223 01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:40,559 Speaker 1: it is doing on the good side. But nonetheless, we 1224 01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:45,639 Speaker 1: don't have a choice of acting like Russia doesn't exist, 1225 01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:50,680 Speaker 1: and we don't have the choice of constantly antagonizing the 1226 01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:53,320 Speaker 1: Russian state more than we already are. I mean, I'm 1227 01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:57,759 Speaker 1: operating in a world where we already have sanctions in place, 1228 01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:01,719 Speaker 1: we already have a media that is obsessed with Putin. 1229 01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:04,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I think he must kind of get a 1230 01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:07,920 Speaker 1: giggle out of it sometimes, or giggle, but you know 1231 01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:11,799 Speaker 1: what I mean, he must crack something of a smile 1232 01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:17,360 Speaker 1: as he is shirtless doing judo wrestling, bears, discovering priceless 1233 01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:19,760 Speaker 1: artifacts in the sea, all that stuff that he does 1234 01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,560 Speaker 1: because of this obsession here and and it even expanded 1235 01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:29,440 Speaker 1: two Sarah huckeyby standers getting grilled today on this specifically, 1236 01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:32,799 Speaker 1: as the White House believes that the election in Russia 1237 01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:37,280 Speaker 1: was free and fair. Look in terms of the election, 1238 01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:41,400 Speaker 1: uh there. We're focused on our elections. We don't get 1239 01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:45,040 Speaker 1: to dictate how other countries operate. Um what we do 1240 01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:51,479 Speaker 1: know is that um Putin has been elected in their country, 1241 01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:54,120 Speaker 1: and that's not something that we can dictate to them 1242 01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:56,839 Speaker 1: how they operate. We can only focus on the freeness 1243 01:17:56,840 --> 01:18:00,400 Speaker 1: and the fairness of our elections, something we fully support 1244 01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:02,680 Speaker 1: and something we're going to continue to do everything we 1245 01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:06,280 Speaker 1: can to protect to make sure bad actors don't have 1246 01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:09,559 Speaker 1: the opportunity to impact them in any way. This has 1247 01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:13,559 Speaker 1: really turned into a game for the media. It's it's 1248 01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:18,080 Speaker 1: like Putin baiting. You know, they just want there's never 1249 01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:21,120 Speaker 1: enough that Trump can do to satisfy their lust for 1250 01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:26,799 Speaker 1: humiliating Russia and and speaking down to Russia and speaking 1251 01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:33,080 Speaker 1: in bellicast terms about the Russian state. What purpose would 1252 01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:36,800 Speaker 1: it serve right now for the United States government to 1253 01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:40,960 Speaker 1: officially condemn the election in Russia? What is that going 1254 01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:45,160 Speaker 1: to do? And I would also know that do we 1255 01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:47,880 Speaker 1: really do we really know the full extent of the irregularities. 1256 01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,800 Speaker 1: I'm not being a Putent apologist here. I know that 1257 01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:53,479 Speaker 1: he cracks down on dissent. I know he plays super dirty. 1258 01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:56,559 Speaker 1: I know he's basically a dictator. But he also has 1259 01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,320 Speaker 1: a lot of popular support in the country. Is it 1260 01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:03,920 Speaker 1: seventy per cent or no, But as the votes votality 1261 01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:08,160 Speaker 1: was basically you know, it's probably in the high fifties. 1262 01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:11,000 Speaker 1: It's a lot more than you get in a usual 1263 01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:16,320 Speaker 1: presidential administration. Here. Now that's not to say that there's 1264 01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,720 Speaker 1: that his situation was better. He's doing a better job. 1265 01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,559 Speaker 1: It's just to suggest that we don't have the option 1266 01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:24,360 Speaker 1: of sitting around and just going la la la, don't 1267 01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:27,040 Speaker 1: know Russia, la la, don't want to talk to Russia. 1268 01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:30,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way. And we are already taking 1269 01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:33,760 Speaker 1: actions that show our displeasure on the diplomatic stage with 1270 01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:40,240 Speaker 1: what they're doing. It gets even more tense if we 1271 01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:46,120 Speaker 1: start having the White House spokesman or the President himself 1272 01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:49,840 Speaker 1: saying that, yeah, your election was a sham. Yeah, the 1273 01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,960 Speaker 1: whole thing is a joke. How could we expect to 1274 01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:55,760 Speaker 1: have any constructive dialogue with the Russian state going forward? 1275 01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:57,880 Speaker 1: Keep in mind, these are the same journalists you're look 1276 01:19:57,960 --> 01:19:59,880 Speaker 1: up when Obama said that, you know, he would trans 1277 01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:02,160 Speaker 1: met to Vladimir. You know, he was just talking about 1278 01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:06,479 Speaker 1: just talking about, you know, his favorite i iPod list 1279 01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:10,280 Speaker 1: or whatever. You know, he's just listening to tunes. You 1280 01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:13,040 Speaker 1: remember that, right, you know, after the election, will have 1281 01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:18,439 Speaker 1: more freedom, and mid videv saying it will throns middewsto 1282 01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:23,120 Speaker 1: Vladomuir just like that, Actually it will tron smidnewsto Vladomuir. 1283 01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:26,559 Speaker 1: And he's like touching his thigh and the whole thing, 1284 01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:31,559 Speaker 1: and they're very chummy, very chummy. Obama straight up set 1285 01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:34,879 Speaker 1: it on an open mic. Once I've won the election, 1286 01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:37,759 Speaker 1: then I can basically do what I wanna do, which 1287 01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:41,800 Speaker 1: is give you guys what you want to make you happy, 1288 01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:45,240 Speaker 1: because that's how Obama does diplomacy America. You know, we've 1289 01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:47,679 Speaker 1: done bad things, were naughty. We need to be punished. 1290 01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:50,679 Speaker 1: So whatever Iron wants, we're basically going to give them 1291 01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:54,519 Speaker 1: within the context of getting some semblance of a deal. Well, 1292 01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:56,120 Speaker 1: we're not gonna make it too painful them because we 1293 01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:59,160 Speaker 1: don't want to be meat. And he was planning the 1294 01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:01,280 Speaker 1: same things with Usha. I guess I don't know. I'm 1295 01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:03,599 Speaker 1: not Obama. But then again, I also didn't say that. 1296 01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:09,640 Speaker 1: I didn't say that it was a good idea to 1297 01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:13,160 Speaker 1: pass along to the Russian the real Russian premier, remember Medvidev. 1298 01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:15,920 Speaker 1: At the time, you know, maybe it's kind of Putin's puppet, 1299 01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:22,200 Speaker 1: actually Putin's puppet. But now it's this game that journalists play. Oh, 1300 01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:24,639 Speaker 1: you know, you haven't condemned Russia enough, you haven't said 1301 01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:28,920 Speaker 1: enough nasty things about the Russian state. These are people 1302 01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:32,880 Speaker 1: who until now, until Trump was president, I didn't want 1303 01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:36,280 Speaker 1: to push back against any dictators. The same journalists, my friends, 1304 01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:40,160 Speaker 1: who are lecturing all of us on how Trump is 1305 01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:44,720 Speaker 1: just so warm and fuzzy towards Russia and oh he 1306 01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:47,679 Speaker 1: won't are the ones that are always coddling Fidel Castro. 1307 01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:50,120 Speaker 1: They're the ones who are always making excuses for Maduro. 1308 01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:53,720 Speaker 1: By the way, Venezuela launched a cryptocurrency because they're just 1309 01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,639 Speaker 1: trying to do whatever they can to get around sections 1310 01:21:56,640 --> 01:22:00,559 Speaker 1: and prevent the complete collapse of their economy, social justice 1311 01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:04,080 Speaker 1: warrior economy. That's what Venezuela has. Remember that, my friends, 1312 01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:07,759 Speaker 1: and the administration via executive order, as in a side 1313 01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:14,040 Speaker 1: our administration, President Trump slapped down their cryptocurrency, Venezuela's cryptocurrency 1314 01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:16,400 Speaker 1: with an executive order that you can't get involved with 1315 01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:20,320 Speaker 1: that anyway. I digress. But these journalists can always find 1316 01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:23,559 Speaker 1: the good in any regime around the world. You know, 1317 01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:26,120 Speaker 1: they can take that. They can take this side of 1318 01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:31,800 Speaker 1: whomever sits across the table from any Republican president. And 1319 01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:36,760 Speaker 1: yet on Russia we find ourselves with the media that 1320 01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:38,519 Speaker 1: will say, well, hold on a second, you're being too 1321 01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:41,960 Speaker 1: nice to the other side. Okay, in this case, changes 1322 01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:45,800 Speaker 1: changes the tune. What a surprise what a shock. This 1323 01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:47,920 Speaker 1: is a mass delusion. I really, I mean this. It's 1324 01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:51,840 Speaker 1: a mass psychosis. Trump arrangement syndrome is actually a mental disorder. 1325 01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:55,000 Speaker 1: The media suffers from it, and Russia is like the 1326 01:22:55,040 --> 01:23:00,320 Speaker 1: main trigger. I'll hit a quick break, will be right back. Yeah. 1327 01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:22,320 Speaker 1: When I was eleven years old, life was tough. There's mamma, 1328 01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:26,280 Speaker 1: she don't want me no more, and she don't want me. 1329 01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:33,320 Speaker 1: You're neither, and I've always loved music. Dad. I can 1330 01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:36,360 Speaker 1: do this how you can, And you're gonna blink your 1331 01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:39,000 Speaker 1: eyes and you're gonna realize that life has got you 1332 01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:43,240 Speaker 1: nowhere because you chased some stupid drink I didn't want. 1333 01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:52,320 Speaker 1: My dad was a monster, and I saw God transform him, 1334 01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:56,320 Speaker 1: and so I wrote this song from my dad. That 1335 01:23:56,600 --> 01:23:59,720 Speaker 1: is from the film I can only imagine out in 1336 01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:03,880 Speaker 1: yeters now. It broke in the top three overall the 1337 01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:06,960 Speaker 1: box office, even though it's an independent film. Very few 1338 01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:11,400 Speaker 1: independent films exceed expectations right away like this one. This 1339 01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:14,400 Speaker 1: is doing well beyond what everyone thought, or at least 1340 01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:19,320 Speaker 1: what the meaty industry expected.

Can you just give us 1366 01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:43,920 Speaker 1: a bit of a summary, and then also the song 1367 01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,880 Speaker 1: and how that ties into it. Yeah, well, you know, 1368 01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:49,160 Speaker 1: I can only imagine it's the best selling, most played 1369 01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:53,599 Speaker 1: Christian song of all time, crossed over too many pop 1370 01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:57,040 Speaker 1: and country charts as well, number one most requested song 1371 01:25:57,080 --> 01:26:00,280 Speaker 1: on a lot of top forty stations, and and uh, 1372 01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:04,200 Speaker 1: it just it was this anomaly, and uh and come 1373 01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:07,280 Speaker 1: to find out, there's this incredible story behind the song. 1374 01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:10,640 Speaker 1: And uh and I remember Bart Millard who wrote it, 1375 01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:13,640 Speaker 1: whose lead singer of Mercy me Um he hadn't he 1376 01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:17,040 Speaker 1: hooked when he said, Uh, I know God is real 1377 01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:18,920 Speaker 1: because of the change I saw my dad, He said, 1378 01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:22,519 Speaker 1: I watched the monster transform into my best friend and 1379 01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:25,160 Speaker 1: the man I wanted to become. And there's just no 1380 01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:30,000 Speaker 1: other explanation for it. Then what God did in his life. 1381 01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:34,080 Speaker 1: And so that incredible story of reconciliation between a father 1382 01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:37,240 Speaker 1: and son and redemption, it's really what we fell in 1383 01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:38,880 Speaker 1: love with. And so I can only imagine to a 1384 01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:41,240 Speaker 1: song about heaven. We all know that, but we don't 1385 01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:43,719 Speaker 1: know is it's a son singing for his father. Because 1386 01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:47,040 Speaker 1: their relationship was completely mended and put back together. And 1387 01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:52,960 Speaker 1: to see Dennis Quaid portray that transformation and uh, you know, 1388 01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:57,600 Speaker 1: uh brokenness and and redemption. Uh. When he signed on 1389 01:26:57,680 --> 01:26:59,880 Speaker 1: of the project, he says, I've never played transformation like 1390 01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:01,880 Speaker 1: a is before. You know, I've never taken a character 1391 01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:04,920 Speaker 1: this full circle and uh, he does such a great 1392 01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:06,679 Speaker 1: job in the film. How long ago did you decide 1393 01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:09,040 Speaker 1: you wanted to work on this project? This take a 1394 01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:11,000 Speaker 1: bit to get it done? Or do you realize right away? 1395 01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:13,719 Speaker 1: And were you able to thread the needle of putting 1396 01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:17,599 Speaker 1: together a project like this? It's been so successful? Well, 1397 01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:22,280 Speaker 1: you know, I think that overall. Um, you know, films 1398 01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:24,320 Speaker 1: always take a lot of time, but this one actually 1399 01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:27,160 Speaker 1: went faster than anything that we've ever done. We were 1400 01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:29,879 Speaker 1: exposed to the project and he was actually at the screening, 1401 01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:33,280 Speaker 1: uh of one of our other films, and Bart uh came, 1402 01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:35,639 Speaker 1: We've worked we worked the music business for many years 1403 01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:38,400 Speaker 1: before we did films, and and they were talking and 1404 01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:40,920 Speaker 1: and Bart loved our films, and he said, Uh, is 1405 01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:43,519 Speaker 1: there anyways you guys would ever take a look at 1406 01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:45,559 Speaker 1: my story because it has been in development in another 1407 01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,320 Speaker 1: studio and kind of wasn't going anywhere, and uh and 1408 01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:50,200 Speaker 1: he said, you know what's interesting if they sent the 1409 01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:53,880 Speaker 1: script this morning and uh. So from that and so 1410 01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:55,360 Speaker 1: we took a look at it, fell in love with 1411 01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:57,559 Speaker 1: the story. From that point on, it was just like this. 1412 01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:00,840 Speaker 1: It was there was a fate to the project. There 1413 01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:02,519 Speaker 1: was it was almost left. We were all strapped to 1414 01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:05,519 Speaker 1: a freight train and uh and the film had a 1415 01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:07,400 Speaker 1: will of its own and it was just kind of 1416 01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:10,920 Speaker 1: coincidence after coincidence that that's what you want to call them, 1417 01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:13,680 Speaker 1: that every step of this project has just been a 1418 01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:16,840 Speaker 1: miracle and uh and it happened a lot faster than 1419 01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:20,280 Speaker 1: most projects happened. The audience has spoken with more than 1420 01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:22,880 Speaker 1: just their their dollars here, which as a filmmaker and 1421 01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:26,400 Speaker 1: we're speaking to uh John Irwin, John and Andy Irwin 1422 01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:29,720 Speaker 1: or the directing team and production studio behind. I can 1423 01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:32,400 Speaker 1: only imagine which is out in theaters now, everyone listening 1424 01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:36,400 Speaker 1: across the country. But when you see some of the 1425 01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:38,519 Speaker 1: stories that are coming out about this, John, people are 1426 01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:42,679 Speaker 1: saying that, uh, that viewers that the audience is staying 1427 01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:45,160 Speaker 1: afterwards to pray or to seeing people are going to 1428 01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:48,320 Speaker 1: theaters multiple times to see this movie. This is having 1429 01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:50,160 Speaker 1: a real impact on people. They're not just saying yeah, 1430 01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:52,920 Speaker 1: that was all right. Yeah, Well you know what's what's 1431 01:28:53,000 --> 01:29:00,559 Speaker 1: Uh my favorite, um kind of response from the film is, uh, 1432 01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:03,679 Speaker 1: there was a first happen in superall South Dakota, and 1433 01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:07,160 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I think people love the film. 1434 01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:10,400 Speaker 1: First of all, it's very entertaining, it's very emotional. You'll laugh, 1435 01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:14,200 Speaker 1: you will cry, hopefully you'll cheer. But to see some 1436 01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:17,280 Speaker 1: of the responses after the film, there's a guy that 1437 01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:21,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't leave the theater until he found his dad on Facebook. 1438 01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:23,040 Speaker 1: He hadn't seen his dad since he was fourteen years old. 1439 01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:25,840 Speaker 1: He was harboring a lot of anger and uh, you know, 1440 01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:29,040 Speaker 1: in bitterness, found him on Facebook, met within the next day, 1441 01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:32,759 Speaker 1: forgave him, told him he loved him, re established connection 1442 01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:36,120 Speaker 1: and and and and God's kind of healing them both, 1443 01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:39,439 Speaker 1: you know. And if, boy, if that could happen all 1444 01:29:39,479 --> 01:29:45,120 Speaker 1: over America, if relationships could be mended and restored, Um, 1445 01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:47,439 Speaker 1: how cool would that be. There's so much in our 1446 01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:51,240 Speaker 1: culture that's tearing us apart. To have something that brings 1447 01:29:51,320 --> 01:29:54,720 Speaker 1: us back together and and mince what's broken. Uh, that 1448 01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:57,400 Speaker 1: could be a cool thing. I think in society in general, 1449 01:29:57,439 --> 01:29:59,439 Speaker 1: but certainly for for the family and to see that 1450 01:29:59,479 --> 01:30:01,640 Speaker 1: begin to have and all over the country is a 1451 01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:05,120 Speaker 1: really cool, uh kind of result of the film. John. 1452 01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:07,320 Speaker 1: I know people can go to the Facebook page for 1453 01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:10,439 Speaker 1: I can only imagine movie. It's Facebook, dot com slash, 1454 01:30:10,479 --> 01:30:14,200 Speaker 1: I can only imagine movie. Um. But if folks want 1455 01:30:14,240 --> 01:30:17,240 Speaker 1: to go see it, I know it's it's in theaters. 1456 01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:19,320 Speaker 1: But is there is there a digital option or do 1457 01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:21,200 Speaker 1: you have to find a theater near you or how 1458 01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:24,240 Speaker 1: can folks see it? Yeah, you can see it. It's 1459 01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:30,480 Speaker 1: in theaters nationwide. We're actually um, we're actually scaling significantly. 1460 01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:34,439 Speaker 1: Will be in over almost twenty three theaters this weekend, 1461 01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:38,040 Speaker 1: which is one of the largest um kind of footprints 1462 01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:41,600 Speaker 1: ever for a Christian film. And uh, just because of 1463 01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:46,200 Speaker 1: the success of last weekend. And so uh check it out, 1464 01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:48,840 Speaker 1: get out to a theater, and when you do, you 1465 01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:52,240 Speaker 1: create something called fomo. It means the fear of missing out. 1466 01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:54,720 Speaker 1: And this is one of the coolest ways that we 1467 01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:57,160 Speaker 1: can get the attention of a generation again. And so 1468 01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:00,040 Speaker 1: your movie think it is your vote, and so it 1469 01:31:00,120 --> 01:31:03,439 Speaker 1: in theaters nationwide. You good. I can only imagine dot com. 1470 01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:05,639 Speaker 1: It'll be on DVD and everything after that, but gotiate 1471 01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:08,280 Speaker 1: in the theater. The theater, everybody, I can only imagine 1472 01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:11,160 Speaker 1: is the movie. John Irwin, producer and director. John, thank 1473 01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:13,720 Speaker 1: you so much for your time today. Hey, thank you 1474 01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:16,720 Speaker 1: so much. All right, team, we are rolling her break 1475 01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:31,000 Speaker 1: will be right back. He's holding the line for America. 1476 01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:37,560 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton his back. You know, some of these ostensibly 1477 01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:42,519 Speaker 1: Catholic institutions, some of these universities that are supposed to 1478 01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:47,360 Speaker 1: have a Catholic or even just a Christian affiliation, are 1479 01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:54,559 Speaker 1: increasingly abandoning whatever vestiges there are of actually being Christian. 1480 01:31:55,280 --> 01:32:00,040 Speaker 1: And that ties into a decision at holy Cross, a 1481 01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:04,479 Speaker 1: school up in Massachusetts, very good school. A lot of 1482 01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:07,439 Speaker 1: my high school classmates. I went to a Jesuit Catholic 1483 01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:09,600 Speaker 1: school here in New York City, and a lot of 1484 01:32:09,600 --> 01:32:12,880 Speaker 1: the guys from my year and from all the years 1485 01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:15,960 Speaker 1: at Regious High School would end up going to holy Cross. 1486 01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:20,000 Speaker 1: I think they even had a specific scholarship for a 1487 01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:23,800 Speaker 1: Regious student, or we send people there on scholarships. A 1488 01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:26,800 Speaker 1: lot I know that, and it's a very good institution. 1489 01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:32,519 Speaker 1: And sure enough, political correctness has struck once again. Holy 1490 01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:36,920 Speaker 1: Cross has gotten rid of the night mascot, you know, 1491 01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:39,880 Speaker 1: a night like the Knights of the Round Table, the 1492 01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:43,519 Speaker 1: Knights of King Arthur. Right, they've gotten rid of the 1493 01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:49,719 Speaker 1: night mascot because of the association. Does anyone to guess 1494 01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:54,200 Speaker 1: before I go there, why would Holy Cross drop a night? 1495 01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:58,840 Speaker 1: I mean, a night is not something that's inherently good 1496 01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:03,880 Speaker 1: or bad? Right, it's really referring to a a mounted 1497 01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:09,799 Speaker 1: cavalryman with plate armor, landed nobility, right, and it depends 1498 01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:11,559 Speaker 1: on knights have been around for a long time. The 1499 01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:14,000 Speaker 1: whole notion, it actually stretches all the way back to 1500 01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:19,680 Speaker 1: the Roman Empire and the cavalry, which was a designation 1501 01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:26,120 Speaker 1: that was only it was really based upon socioeconomic status. Yeah, 1502 01:33:26,160 --> 01:33:31,679 Speaker 1: equitez romani um. So that's where we we get all 1503 01:33:31,680 --> 01:33:38,400 Speaker 1: this terminology like equestrian. But anyway back to nights. Uh. 1504 01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:42,600 Speaker 1: You would think that this is a pretty safe mascot 1505 01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:45,439 Speaker 1: to have, but you'd be wrong. The College of the 1506 01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:49,160 Speaker 1: Holy Cross has announced that it is dropping the night 1507 01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:55,519 Speaker 1: mascot because of the crew Sades. Oh that's right, that 1508 01:33:56,200 --> 01:33:59,680 Speaker 1: thing that a bunch of Christians just did with no 1509 01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:04,880 Speaker 1: provocation and for no reason whatsoever. It just was trying 1510 01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:07,719 Speaker 1: to be mean to those peaceful Muslims in the Holy 1511 01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:13,479 Speaker 1: Land in the uh twelfth century, eleventh centuries. It was 1512 01:34:13,600 --> 01:34:15,800 Speaker 1: That's what it was really all about, just being mean 1513 01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:19,800 Speaker 1: those Muslim armies that had just showed up that they 1514 01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:23,760 Speaker 1: invited people to join Islam. There was no conquest there. 1515 01:34:24,240 --> 01:34:27,840 Speaker 1: It's not like, Oh wait, those of you who listened 1516 01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:31,280 Speaker 1: to this show know about the Byzantine Empire, know about 1517 01:34:31,320 --> 01:34:37,760 Speaker 1: Eastern Orthodox Christianities history in fighting against the Islamic expansion 1518 01:34:37,800 --> 01:34:41,240 Speaker 1: in the Islamic Conquest. You know about the fall of Constantinople, 1519 01:34:42,080 --> 01:34:45,120 Speaker 1: but well before that, you also all know about the 1520 01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:49,919 Speaker 1: lead up to the First Crusade, in which Muslim armies 1521 01:34:50,320 --> 01:34:53,520 Speaker 1: made it not just into the Holy Land to seize Jerusalem, 1522 01:34:53,640 --> 01:34:56,200 Speaker 1: but all the way across North Africa up through Spain. 1523 01:34:56,240 --> 01:35:01,280 Speaker 1: And we're only turned back by Charles Martel. The But 1524 01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:06,840 Speaker 1: I digress. So they're dropping this. And this goes to 1525 01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:10,080 Speaker 1: my theory that even mascots that you think right now 1526 01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:13,640 Speaker 1: are safe are not. You just have to give it 1527 01:35:13,760 --> 01:35:17,000 Speaker 1: some time. Even those mascots that you would assume, hold 1528 01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:19,680 Speaker 1: on a second, there's no way they could really be 1529 01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:23,400 Speaker 1: offended by this. Oh no, they will find a way 1530 01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:27,519 Speaker 1: I've been joking or half joking for a while that 1531 01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:31,439 Speaker 1: it's just a matter of time before they decide that 1532 01:35:32,920 --> 01:35:36,600 Speaker 1: the Vikings become too politically incorrect and the NFL is 1533 01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:39,280 Speaker 1: going to be dealing with all kinds of pushback. They're 1534 01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:43,000 Speaker 1: fighting Irish, It's already happened. People have complained about the fighting. 1535 01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:47,719 Speaker 1: Irish Vikings were into some pretty intense stuff in their day, 1536 01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:53,320 Speaker 1: you know. They their first contact with Christianity involved arriving 1537 01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:58,559 Speaker 1: at completely unguarded monasteries in what is today England and 1538 01:35:59,280 --> 01:36:03,920 Speaker 1: in Ireland and massacring everybody, so you know, and then 1539 01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:07,640 Speaker 1: there was the whole slavery that the Vikings engaged in. 1540 01:36:07,720 --> 01:36:10,599 Speaker 1: They would go and pillage, they would rape and pillage 1541 01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:13,840 Speaker 1: whole villages, and they would take slaves. So, you know, 1542 01:36:13,920 --> 01:36:16,240 Speaker 1: we think of Vikings is kind of a produvader, you know, 1543 01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:21,800 Speaker 1: these comical warriors from cartoons with big helmets with and 1544 01:36:21,800 --> 01:36:23,519 Speaker 1: then by the way that the helmets with the horns 1545 01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:26,719 Speaker 1: that actually comes from the opera, that's not really something 1546 01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:28,960 Speaker 1: good has anything can do with the way Vikings would 1547 01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:31,040 Speaker 1: actually dress for battle, even though we think of it 1548 01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:33,960 Speaker 1: that way, or we are led by pop culture to 1549 01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:36,760 Speaker 1: think of it that way. But yeah, they got rid 1550 01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:40,200 Speaker 1: of the Crusader, or rather they got rid of I'm sorry, 1551 01:36:40,200 --> 01:36:42,439 Speaker 1: the Knights if it were Crusaders, which I will know. 1552 01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:45,559 Speaker 1: There are a number of schools that the Crusaders are 1553 01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:49,559 Speaker 1: in fact the mascot. I wonder if my own high school. 1554 01:36:49,560 --> 01:36:52,760 Speaker 1: At some point the Raiders like Raiders of the Lost Arc. 1555 01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:56,440 Speaker 1: Are they going to say that that has some connotation 1556 01:36:56,560 --> 01:36:59,560 Speaker 1: with the Raids against you know, I don't even know 1557 01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:02,800 Speaker 1: where the Ocean of the Raiders comes from. Um. But oh, 1558 01:37:03,200 --> 01:37:07,560 Speaker 1: by the way, the buccaneers people figure out that piracy 1559 01:37:07,720 --> 01:37:13,080 Speaker 1: very violent, very very much part of the patriarchy. Piracy. 1560 01:37:13,200 --> 01:37:15,800 Speaker 1: Not a lot of women pirates, you know, not a 1561 01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:20,080 Speaker 1: lot of women captain ing of the pirate ships. So 1562 01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:22,880 Speaker 1: that's gonna that's gonna fall by the wayside. But nothing 1563 01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:25,880 Speaker 1: is nothing is safe anymore from the PC mob. When 1564 01:37:25,920 --> 01:37:28,800 Speaker 1: you at at the University of the Holy Cross or 1565 01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:33,479 Speaker 1: Holy Cross University or whatever, I'm sorry, the college okay, sorry, 1566 01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:36,320 Speaker 1: the College of the Holy Cross. You know what, they're 1567 01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:39,760 Speaker 1: gonna figure out at some point that the Crusaders, the 1568 01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:42,879 Speaker 1: Knights who fought in the Crusades had crosses on their chests, 1569 01:37:43,479 --> 01:37:48,160 Speaker 1: red ones against white if they were templars. And guess what, 1570 01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:51,200 Speaker 1: some people find the Cross offensive. In fact, a lot 1571 01:37:51,280 --> 01:37:55,559 Speaker 1: of people do. They're called democrats. I kid, I kid mostly, 1572 01:37:56,439 --> 01:38:01,720 Speaker 1: But nonetheless, the Cross it self could be construed by 1573 01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:04,640 Speaker 1: some and will be as a form of aggression. So 1574 01:38:04,720 --> 01:38:06,360 Speaker 1: as the whole as the College of the Holy Cross, 1575 01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:08,920 Speaker 1: a Christian school going to eventually change its name so 1576 01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:12,599 Speaker 1: as not to be offensive, it can't be a Christian 1577 01:38:12,600 --> 01:38:15,120 Speaker 1: school anymore, really, if it's going to cease being offensive. 1578 01:38:15,920 --> 01:38:18,280 Speaker 1: But that's kind of the plan, isn't it for a 1579 01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:21,599 Speaker 1: lot of these places. All Right, we will get into 1580 01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:24,479 Speaker 1: a roll call coming up here in just a moment. 1581 01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:43,559 Speaker 1: Stay with me, all right, team, coming into our last 1582 01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:47,400 Speaker 1: segment of the day, It would give me a case 1583 01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:52,320 Speaker 1: of the sad face. But this is if you will 1584 01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:56,040 Speaker 1: saving the best for last, this is where we get 1585 01:38:56,040 --> 01:39:09,679 Speaker 1: into row call, Team Buck. It's time for roll calls, 1586 01:39:10,680 --> 01:39:16,000 Speaker 1: and all right, let's jump right into it. Now. We 1587 01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:19,840 Speaker 1: have Thomas who writes, I'm wondering why the media is 1588 01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:23,640 Speaker 1: so persistent pushing this story of Donald Trump having an 1589 01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:26,400 Speaker 1: affair with Stormy Daniels back in two thousand and six. 1590 01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:30,000 Speaker 1: It has no relevance to his presidency. It might have 1591 01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:32,639 Speaker 1: had some impact on his campaign when he was running, 1592 01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:35,519 Speaker 1: as all dirt does on any candidate they want to destroy, 1593 01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:38,760 Speaker 1: but he is president. Now they're wasting their time and 1594 01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:41,439 Speaker 1: their ratings that they think this is going anywhere. No 1595 01:39:41,479 --> 01:39:46,559 Speaker 1: one cares except the media. I think that that's largely true, Thomas. 1596 01:39:46,760 --> 01:39:50,679 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody really does care about this whole 1597 01:39:50,720 --> 01:39:54,960 Speaker 1: situation that they're reporting on. The media is obsessed with it, though, 1598 01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:58,959 Speaker 1: but they're obsessed with anything that they believe is damaging 1599 01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:02,920 Speaker 1: to Trump and all. So that reaffirms their belief that 1600 01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:08,200 Speaker 1: Trump is basically hitler, which is really the media's general position. 1601 01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:13,720 Speaker 1: Trump is basically hitler. As insane as that is so. 1602 01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:19,639 Speaker 1: Next up here, uh Sterling, who writes, Buck, I love 1603 01:40:19,680 --> 01:40:23,120 Speaker 1: you and your show not in a weird way, so 1604 01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:25,840 Speaker 1: neither you are, miss Molly have anything to worry about. Well, 1605 01:40:25,840 --> 01:40:28,920 Speaker 1: thank you, Sterling. I love the podcast because I never 1606 01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:33,000 Speaker 1: miss anything, But then sometimes I get behind. Now. I 1607 01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:37,639 Speaker 1: think you're typically thorough. Typically throw objectivity is lacking when 1608 01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:42,120 Speaker 1: it comes to airlines. Oh for example, airlines adhere to 1609 01:40:42,200 --> 01:40:45,719 Speaker 1: a strict schedule, and anyone who deviated from that schedule 1610 01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:49,320 Speaker 1: just because would be fired would you experience when you're 1611 01:40:49,320 --> 01:40:54,240 Speaker 1: playing Diverted for fuel sounded like a diversion. Diversions are 1612 01:40:54,280 --> 01:40:57,160 Speaker 1: most common for weather, but there are other reasons too. 1613 01:40:57,560 --> 01:40:59,840 Speaker 1: There's more, but I don't want to annoy you. You 1614 01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:03,080 Speaker 1: have some valid points, but I think some are misguided 1615 01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:05,960 Speaker 1: from Sterling. Well, Sterling, thank you for liking the show. 1616 01:41:06,520 --> 01:41:09,360 Speaker 1: And on airlines, I would note that I am upfront 1617 01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:14,439 Speaker 1: about feeling like I have been traumatized in slow motion 1618 01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:20,400 Speaker 1: over the years by crappy airline situations, by terribly uncomfortable 1619 01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:25,720 Speaker 1: airline seats, by price gouging at the last minute, by 1620 01:41:25,760 --> 01:41:27,840 Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff. I mean, if I sat here 1621 01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:29,479 Speaker 1: and wrote out all the things that have gone on. 1622 01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:33,479 Speaker 1: And while I know that there are business rationales for this, 1623 01:41:33,960 --> 01:41:38,519 Speaker 1: I would also note that airlines are heavily regulated, as 1624 01:41:38,560 --> 01:41:42,840 Speaker 1: a lot of government intervention in them, and airlines are 1625 01:41:42,880 --> 01:41:46,439 Speaker 1: the only area of consumer life that I can think 1626 01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:49,240 Speaker 1: of because even cable companies, as I've noted, have gotten better, 1627 01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:53,640 Speaker 1: airlines are the only place that feel like they're just inoculated. 1628 01:41:53,720 --> 01:42:00,160 Speaker 1: They are invulnerable to customer complaints and outrage. Really, I 1629 01:42:00,160 --> 01:42:03,640 Speaker 1: would note that it isn't lost on me that with 1630 01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:07,040 Speaker 1: the American people. If you mistreat a human being, there 1631 01:42:07,080 --> 01:42:12,000 Speaker 1: will be outrage. If you really severely mistreat and or 1632 01:42:12,120 --> 01:42:15,759 Speaker 1: end up taking the life of a small cute dog, 1633 01:42:16,479 --> 01:42:19,040 Speaker 1: there will be people out in the streets with pitchforks, 1634 01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:21,680 Speaker 1: so to speak. So that's why United is having some 1635 01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:26,040 Speaker 1: of the troubles that it is. Um, let's get into 1636 01:42:26,360 --> 01:42:32,160 Speaker 1: uh next one. Here we have Corey who writes, so 1637 01:42:32,240 --> 01:42:35,840 Speaker 1: school shootings are a quote rare occurrence, not anymore. Buck, 1638 01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:38,679 Speaker 1: jump on the van, on the bandwagon. They have figured 1639 01:42:38,680 --> 01:42:41,840 Speaker 1: out how to manipulate young and adult minds in the 1640 01:42:41,920 --> 01:42:44,880 Speaker 1: pursuit of stripping us of our guns. That's what they're 1641 01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:47,080 Speaker 1: trying to do. Look at the direction it's leading us. 1642 01:42:47,360 --> 01:42:50,600 Speaker 1: Only one outcome from a continuing of school shootings to 1643 01:42:50,720 --> 01:42:55,240 Speaker 1: disarm us. The mental war began a long time ago. Well, Corey, 1644 01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:59,320 Speaker 1: as I've noted, school shootings are very, very rare. Overall, 1645 01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:03,160 Speaker 1: you have an enormous population of school aged students in 1646 01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:06,599 Speaker 1: this country, and we have data on this stretching back 1647 01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:09,280 Speaker 1: for decades, and I understand that it pulls out our 1648 01:43:09,320 --> 01:43:14,679 Speaker 1: heart strength and school shootings are a psychological trauma, even 1649 01:43:14,760 --> 01:43:17,639 Speaker 1: for those who are just reading about it or seeing 1650 01:43:17,680 --> 01:43:22,439 Speaker 1: the images on TV, but by the same token, they 1651 01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:26,800 Speaker 1: are rare events. And to make policy based on the 1652 01:43:26,840 --> 01:43:31,439 Speaker 1: emotions that come after school policy school shootings is just 1653 01:43:31,520 --> 01:43:36,040 Speaker 1: a bad idea. And that's what's going on, Susannah. She's 1654 01:43:36,080 --> 01:43:39,320 Speaker 1: next up here. Buck. I'm laughing so hard listening to 1655 01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:43,439 Speaker 1: Monday's podcast, and you're keeping the trifecta of steak, eggs 1656 01:43:43,720 --> 01:43:47,280 Speaker 1: and bacon. Just keep the bacon under a pound. Oh 1657 01:43:47,320 --> 01:43:50,200 Speaker 1: my stars, you're the best. I've shared you with several 1658 01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:53,720 Speaker 1: friends and family and they appreciate you as well as ever. 1659 01:43:54,120 --> 01:43:56,360 Speaker 1: Shields high Well, Susannah, thank you so much for the 1660 01:43:56,439 --> 01:43:59,439 Speaker 1: kind note. I really am hoping that I managed to 1661 01:43:59,479 --> 01:44:02,080 Speaker 1: start a tray in here. Why why are you going 1662 01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:05,040 Speaker 1: to a restaurant? You're going to dinner? They're like, oh yeah, uh, 1663 01:44:05,439 --> 01:44:09,639 Speaker 1: steaking eggs is on the menu. Where's my bacon? Home Slice? 1664 01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:13,400 Speaker 1: Where's my bacon? Just because I got steaking eggs doesn't 1665 01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:15,240 Speaker 1: mean I don't want bacon. If you want to take 1666 01:44:15,280 --> 01:44:17,400 Speaker 1: some parsley or something to add a little green so 1667 01:44:17,439 --> 01:44:20,880 Speaker 1: that I have a the visuals go with the palette 1668 01:44:20,960 --> 01:44:23,479 Speaker 1: or whatever, that's fine. There's no reason to cut bacon 1669 01:44:23,479 --> 01:44:26,200 Speaker 1: out of the equation. It's just wrong. It's just wrong, 1670 01:44:26,240 --> 01:44:30,400 Speaker 1: and we're addressing it here on the show. Steve up 1671 01:44:30,439 --> 01:44:35,400 Speaker 1: next here, he wrote that shepherd's pie made with ground 1672 01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:38,599 Speaker 1: moose meat is awesome. Steve, I feel like that's not 1673 01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:41,320 Speaker 1: an Irish delicacy, though, because I'm pretty sure they don't 1674 01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:46,960 Speaker 1: have moose in Ireland. A island you got mooses, you 1675 01:44:47,040 --> 01:44:49,800 Speaker 1: got moose is in Ireland? I don't think so. Steve 1676 01:44:49,880 --> 01:44:53,920 Speaker 1: also writes, really, almost everything made with ground moose is great. 1677 01:44:54,040 --> 01:44:57,360 Speaker 1: I prefer wild game to antibiotics and growth hormone beef. 1678 01:44:57,600 --> 01:44:59,880 Speaker 1: But Alaskan moose are big and a lot of war 1679 01:45:00,840 --> 01:45:03,080 Speaker 1: Uh Steve, I'm gonna have to take your word for it, 1680 01:45:03,120 --> 01:45:06,800 Speaker 1: my friend, I do not have a lot of experience 1681 01:45:07,320 --> 01:45:13,880 Speaker 1: with moose meat. Uh So, thank you, Holly. Next up 1682 01:45:13,920 --> 01:45:19,160 Speaker 1: here short note, love the show, but I fear for America. Well, Holly, 1683 01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:21,800 Speaker 1: thank you for your fondness of the show. It means 1684 01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:23,360 Speaker 1: a lot to me. I put a lot of effort 1685 01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:25,240 Speaker 1: into the show. Every single day. I spend my whole 1686 01:45:25,320 --> 01:45:27,479 Speaker 1: day thinking about it and go to bed at night 1687 01:45:27,640 --> 01:45:29,120 Speaker 1: thinking about what I can do the next day to 1688 01:45:29,160 --> 01:45:31,599 Speaker 1: make the show just a little bit better. As for 1689 01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:35,280 Speaker 1: fearing for America. Now we confront any fears that we 1690 01:45:35,360 --> 01:45:37,720 Speaker 1: have about the future of America. Here we try to 1691 01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:40,720 Speaker 1: deal with what's really happening and look at what solutions 1692 01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:43,559 Speaker 1: we can all in our own way, and then also 1693 01:45:44,240 --> 01:45:48,760 Speaker 1: as an American people in act. So don't don't be 1694 01:45:48,880 --> 01:45:52,960 Speaker 1: don't be afraid about America, and please continue your support 1695 01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:56,439 Speaker 1: for the show. Brad. Next up here, Buck, I love 1696 01:45:56,479 --> 01:45:59,360 Speaker 1: your show. The Shape of Water should be called the 1697 01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:02,599 Speaker 1: Shape of East Reality. Brad, thank you again for your 1698 01:46:02,640 --> 01:46:05,559 Speaker 1: kind words about the show. And yeah, the Shape of 1699 01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:07,559 Speaker 1: Water is about a woman who has sex with her 1700 01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:13,280 Speaker 1: aquarium pet. That is a factual, true statement. I think 1701 01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:16,559 Speaker 1: it's the aquarium not terrarium, right, because terrariums are for 1702 01:46:17,920 --> 01:46:21,320 Speaker 1: like lizards, and he's really more of a fish, although 1703 01:46:21,360 --> 01:46:24,400 Speaker 1: he is kind of lizard like. It's tough to tough 1704 01:46:24,439 --> 01:46:28,599 Speaker 1: to know. Uh. Corinna reminded me of Hey, there, where's 1705 01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:32,000 Speaker 1: the link to the article on the progressive mind. Well, 1706 01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:35,760 Speaker 1: it's the host the host um the psychology of progressive 1707 01:46:35,800 --> 01:46:39,599 Speaker 1: hostility is the name of the link, and Corinna, you're right, 1708 01:46:39,800 --> 01:46:42,519 Speaker 1: I guess we haven't put it up and this just 1709 01:46:42,680 --> 01:46:45,519 Speaker 1: happens because I write things down here as I'm on 1710 01:46:45,600 --> 01:46:47,560 Speaker 1: air and then I get lost in thought and I 1711 01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:50,000 Speaker 1: don't necessarily get it get it going. I'm gonna write 1712 01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:53,760 Speaker 1: you directly here Karna with the article link, and I'm 1713 01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:55,800 Speaker 1: also going to have our team post it so everyone 1714 01:46:55,800 --> 01:46:59,240 Speaker 1: can see it on Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton. Uh. 1715 01:46:59,439 --> 01:47:04,639 Speaker 1: So there you have it, Aries, Oh, Aries, got quite 1716 01:47:04,640 --> 01:47:06,720 Speaker 1: a screed here, Arias. I'm gonna read some of it, 1717 01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:07,840 Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna be able to read all of 1718 01:47:07,840 --> 01:47:10,040 Speaker 1: it on air. Look, the reason the Left is more 1719 01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:13,479 Speaker 1: prone or accepting of cheating and breaking the rules like 1720 01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:17,559 Speaker 1: weaponizing the Justice Department, violating the Constitution, and voter fraud 1721 01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:21,640 Speaker 1: isn't necessarily because they're generally bad people. It's because they 1722 01:47:21,680 --> 01:47:24,840 Speaker 1: see America as the bad guys. It's reflected in their 1723 01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:28,800 Speaker 1: expression of popular culture, where the military, police, CIA or 1724 01:47:28,880 --> 01:47:33,200 Speaker 1: various other government agents are depicted as bad guys. It 1725 01:47:33,320 --> 01:47:37,000 Speaker 1: still make them, makes them traitors and quite possibly crazy, 1726 01:47:37,240 --> 01:47:42,000 Speaker 1: but their actions are rational if that's what they believe. Um, 1727 01:47:42,280 --> 01:47:44,000 Speaker 1: I think you make a very good point here, Aries. 1728 01:47:44,040 --> 01:47:45,880 Speaker 1: I think that's true. I've often said that there are 1729 01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:51,640 Speaker 1: those who derive pride from being American in this country, 1730 01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:54,360 Speaker 1: and there are those who derive pride from thinking they're 1731 01:47:54,360 --> 01:47:58,760 Speaker 1: better than America, and progressives fall into that latter category. 1732 01:47:59,320 --> 01:48:03,320 Speaker 1: They think they exist here to make us better than 1733 01:48:03,760 --> 01:48:07,559 Speaker 1: the America that they inherited, and they look down upon 1734 01:48:07,960 --> 01:48:10,240 Speaker 1: the history of America. And I would note that this 1735 01:48:10,439 --> 01:48:14,960 Speaker 1: was a generally speaking, a very accurate description I think 1736 01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:19,200 Speaker 1: of sentiment during the Obama administration, not just of the President, 1737 01:48:19,320 --> 01:48:22,160 Speaker 1: but of his entire the entire theme surrounding him in 1738 01:48:22,200 --> 01:48:26,160 Speaker 1: the White House, his top advisors, the media. Uh. They 1739 01:48:26,240 --> 01:48:29,479 Speaker 1: all felt like there was an atonement that was going 1740 01:48:29,560 --> 01:48:33,360 Speaker 1: on for all of America as a result of having 1741 01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:38,600 Speaker 1: a Democrat president like Obama in office. So there you 1742 01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:41,160 Speaker 1: have it. There is that sense, uh, team, we are 1743 01:48:41,200 --> 01:48:43,880 Speaker 1: going to have to close up shop here in the Freedom. How, 1744 01:48:43,960 --> 01:48:47,559 Speaker 1: thank you as always for joining Until next time, no 1745 01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:51,680 Speaker 1: matter what comes your way, remember shields high.
