WEBVTT - Will There Be A Saudi Iran War? 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:15.440 You are entering the freedom hunt. Tensions heating up in 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:17.759 the Middle East. Is Saudi Arabia going to go to 0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:20.720 war with Iran? Are we going to get involved and 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:23.439 perhaps start a war with Iran? We're going to that. 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:27.400 Plus the Libs are doubling down even further on the 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.880 Kavanaugh allegations that have already been proven to be baseless. 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:32.680 We'll get into that. Plus, but some of the Democrat 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:36.879 candidates are offering up in terms of socialism, expanding government. 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.920 We got doctor Jalathan Schanzer joining the talk national security 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:43.600 and the Israeli elections. Lots of stuff coming up. This 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.040 is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:53.080 is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.920 no mistake American, You're a great American Again. The buck 0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:09.440 Sexton Show begins analysts this attack on the ore refinery 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:13.160 by any reasonable definition, as an act of war. It 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:17.800 is attacking the world economy, sustability of the oil markets 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:21.360 throughout the world. I am looking for a response that 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.679 would be unequivocal. If they don't pay a price for 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:28.039 bombing a neighbor's oil fields, then all hell is going 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:34.280 to break out in the Mid East. Welcome to the 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.840 Buck Sexton Show. Everybody, thank you so much for joining. 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.360 As you can hear there from Senator Lindsey Graham, there's 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:44.600 definitely major concerns over what is going on in the 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.119 Middle East right now. So here's here's what we know. 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:51.920 Let's start with what we know. It was a devastating 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:56.600 sneak attack on Saudi Arabia's most important asset on Saturday. 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.840 There was this fuse, a lot of explosive drones and 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:04.200 cruise missiles that slammed into the heart of Saudi oil production. 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:09.800 I mean, this was a surgically precise military operation. You 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:17.120 had nineteen projectiles launched, seventeen hits on critical oil infrastructure. 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:23.559 In fact, the Saudi facility at a Keek is the 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:28.440 single biggest crude oil stabilization plant in the world and 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:34.000 Kuras oil field is the second biggest. So as a 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:39.440 result of this one attack, Saudi production dropped about fifty percent. 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:43.080 That's about five point seven million dollars million barrels of 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:47.079 crude oil coming offline all at one time on one day. 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.560 If you had this double digit jump in global oil 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:56.239 prices as a result, which got everybody's attention. So who 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.280 was responsible for this very clear act of war. Well, 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:03.840 you know, there was an immediate claim of responsibility from 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:09.280 the Hoothy Rebels, Hoothies, who have been fighting this vicious 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.160 civil war right next door to Saudi Arabia in Yemen, 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.120 and they've launched hundreds of these small scale drone attacks 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.880 at Saudi Arabia, which has been in charge of this 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.600 at the head of this coalition to defeat the Hoothy 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.800 Rebels since twenty fifteen, and they have been pretty brutal 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.440 in their efforts to suppress the Hoothies. But you see, 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.840 none of the Hoothie strikes in the past on the 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:40.880 Saladies were anywhere near this scale or sophistication. This was 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.920 a tactical proficiency far beyond what had been seen previously 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.240 from the Hoothy militia and Yemen. And you know, and 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.040 here we are, we're a few days after sifting through 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.960 missile and drone parts, and you've got all these different 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:58.360 experts and intelligence agencies looking at the satellite imagery to 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.560 make sure they're certain of the culprit. So this could 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:05.640 lead to war, and right now it is believed. In fact, 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.520 the Saudis have said that they are effectively without doubt 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.920 that the Iranians were behind this, and then it's just 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:17.920 a question of what the additional details are. The claim 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.719 from the Hoothies the hoothis trying to take responsibility. That's 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:24.039 really a fig leaf meant to create hesitation among the 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:29.640 Saudis and among and for US striking back militarily against 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:34.080 the Iranians. But look, this all makes some sense from 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:39.839 the perspective of the Iranians are cornered after Trump pulled 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:44.680 out of the Obama administrations a Joint Comprehensive Plan of 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:48.640 Action that JCPOA right, the Iran nuclear deals, how we 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.640 think of it, that hit The brakes on the Iranian 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:55.880 economy are real fast. Yeah, sure, the European Union hasn't 0:04:55.920 --> 0:05:00.000 reimposed sanctions, but you know, oil exports are down tremendous, 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:05.960 foreign investments down tremendously. Iranian GDP shrunk almost four percent 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.080 last year and might and they think it will shrink 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:12.040 about six percent next year if the current trends continue. 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.400 So the Mullas are cornered. Iran's heading for a grueling recession. 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.880 But they still haven't blinked, not on their nuclear program, 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:25.880 not on negotiations. In fact, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Kamene 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.159 has said there will be no negotiation with the United 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:32.320 States to change this. Instead, it looks like he's certain 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:36.120 the Iranians are striking at the heart of Saudi oil 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.000 production production. To go Trump, right, they're trying to send 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.080 a signal to the rest of the world that when cornered, 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:48.080 the Iranian viper still has fangs. So let's assume the 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.800 Iranians were behind this. What is the United States? Dude, 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:53.000 do we really want to get in the middle of this. 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:58.360 Let's hope not. The backdrop for this Saudi strike, this 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.640 sneak attack, which is clearly in that of war, is 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:04.440 the regional Sunni Shia proxy war with the Iranians that 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.400 has been escalating in recent years. Some would say it's 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.760 been escalating for over a millennium, and it could easily 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.440 set the entire Middle East of flame. All it takes 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.400 is a miscalculation on one side or the other. I 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:19.719 think President Trump. I hope President Trump recognizes these risks. 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.839 His supporters were promised a non interventionist foreign policy the 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:27.960 twenty twenty election looms. Doing the Saudis fighting for them 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:31.000 is not putting American interest first. It's not putting America first. 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.680 Could the Saudis set off a regional war on their 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.719 own by striking back an It's certainly possible. Could oil 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.120 spike over one hundred dollars a barrel? Who knows? These 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:45.640 are dangerous times, my friend. Thoughts and prayers for President Trump, 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.960 for our armed forces. Let's hope we can navigate out 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.360 of this without getting ourselves in even deeper. We've got 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:58.320 more coming up, and you've introduced a build along with 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.560 Senator Corey Booker, obviously who's running for the White House. 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.800 You did this today. It would create a pilot program 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.040 to guarantee jobs for anyone who wants one. That's ambitious. 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:09.560 It would cost a lot of money. What is the 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.120 number one thing you would do to pay for that? Yeah? 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.280 I mean, this is an idea that has a long legacy. 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:19.640 It was proposed by Franklin Roosevelt. It was supported by 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:24.400 Martha Luther Kim Junior. It's going to allow it's a 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:28.200 pilot project. The pilot program that is going to allow 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:34.120 fifteen communities within um this country to create this program. 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.200 And I think ultimately, when these jobs are created and 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:41.640 people are pleased in these jobs, it will pay for itself. Ah, 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:47.600 there we go. This has become the new super big 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:54.880 government Democrat go to talking point. It will pay for itself. Wow, 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.800 that sounds good. How are you going to pay for 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:04.119 a plan to guarantee everybody the governed, to guarantee everyone 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:11.120 a job? Oh, don't worry about it, it'll pay for itself. Huh. 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:15.560 How will you guarantee healthcare for everyone? Well, how are 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.920 you guarantee medicare for all for everyone? Well, it'll pay 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.360 for itself with the savings will get. I've heard people 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.560 say this. Democrats have said this, dude, with the savings 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.600 that you'll get on your healthcare and when you cut 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.160 out the insurance companies, this will pay for itself. No 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:36.440 serious person can believe that there is no way this 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:42.800 will pay for itself. That's just fantasy land stuff. Bernie 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:47.720 Sanders today rolled out a two point five trillion dollar 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:52.720 Housing for All plan. Sanders has said that the plan 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:58.160 would guarantee every American quote, regardless of income, a fundamental 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:01.960 right to a safe, decent, exces and affordable home, and 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.520 would be paid for by a wealth tax on the 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:08.560 top one tenth of one percent of income earners. He 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.120 said there's virtually no place in America where a full 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:14.880 time minimum wage worker can afford a decent two bedroom apartment. 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:19.480 All right, I'm gonna stop there. I live in New 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.680 York City. I've never been able to afford a decent 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:26.080 two bedroom apartment here. Okay, I'm like, I feel like 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.760 I'm big time because recently I I'm like pushing forty, 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.360 and I moved into one bedroom territory. It used to 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:35.440 all be in one room. Everything. Bathroom pretty much was 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.880 the kitchen, kitchen was the bed. Bed was the bathroom. 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.120 Welcome to New York to stake in the toilet. Hey, 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.040 whatever you gotta do, you gotta get it done. It's 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.080 New York, it's NYC. It's the big Apple, it's the 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:51.600 big show. But minimum wage worker two bedroom apart Who 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.760 said that one minimum wage worker should be able to 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:58.240 afford a two bedroom apartment in a city? What's wrong 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.840 with the studio? I lived in studios all through my twenties. 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:05.360 Studio apartment four hundred square feet, usually a bed, a dresser, 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.439 a place to shower, and maybe like a hot plate. 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.599 So I just like Bernie starts from this place. What 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:16.080 are you even talking about the average two bedroom apartment 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:19.120 in New York City is probably about four four forty 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.360 five hundred dollars a month, four grand. I'd say the 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:26.640 average apartment in Manhattan is over three thousand dollars a month. Now, 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:28.760 I know the other boroughs, it's different, it gets you 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:32.240 can get better deals there. Manhattan's a big place. It's 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.920 one of the five boroughs. Guarantee everybody at two bedroom 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:39.480 apartment on a minimum wage job. Okay, well, not that many. 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:41.840 The point of a minimum wage job is generally not 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.560 to have a minimum wage job forever. Usually, if you 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.559 do a good job at your minimum wage job, you 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.600 can move up, you can get into a more senior role, 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.720 you can get into management. And also a lot of 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.400 people are in two income households. So now if you 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.720 have two minimum wage jobs in the same household, people 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.000 can do better, and they can start to save some money, 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.839 and they can start to build their way into the 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.320 middle class. But just think of the central planning on 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:10.120 display here. Yeah, we're gonna mandate that, you know, everybody 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.200 what should be able to afford a two bedroom apartment 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.280 on a minimum wage salary. I mean, do you want 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.120 to start paying forty dollars for cheeseburgers? At McDonald's, because 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:22.320 I mean, maybe then it could happen the free market, 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.880 or rather just the market sets prices. Bernie Sanders can 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.800 tell you all day about how much the government should 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.560 be setting prices, But the government cannot set prices. All 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.840 it does is push capital into other areas through its 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:40.280 intrusions and mandates in the marketplace. But it doesn't work 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.559 the way they want it to work. And I can 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.520 even talk to you about the minimum wage minimum wage. 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.280 When they raise it, some people benefit from it, some 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:52.520 people don't. And I'm talking about minimum wage earners, because 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.679 there is an actual value to the labor provided by 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:59.880 somebody who's earning minimum wage. And businesses have to balance 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:04.559 the balance their costs and balance their their input their output. 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.559 And so you can say, well, we're gonna pay everyone 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.120 twenty dollars minimum wage. Now, what they just do is 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.319 they cut back your hours or they cut back jobs. 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.160 Some people might be able to stay around with that 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:17.080 twenty dollars minimum wage increase, but other people are going 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:18.920 to lose their jobs or they're gonna have their hours cut. 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.080 There's a minimum wage increase doesn't benefit people the way 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.000 we're always told it does, but it's an emotional issue. 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.719 People feel like, you should you work, you show up, 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:31.000 you work, you should get paid fairly. Meanwhile, I feel 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.720 like I did free work for years as an intern 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.600 at all these different places, building a resume which really 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.120 is exploitative. I'm just gonna say it. But people say, well, 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:40.679 do you want that stuff in your resume or not? 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.160 I did all kinds of free work. I was running 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:48.840 around making copies his book, making cupies. I did all 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.120 kinds of stuff. One more thing before we're gonna get 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:55.119 a little more into the latest with the Cavanall situation, 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.319 which they haven't given up. Libs haven't given up. They've 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:01.760 they've lost this battle, but they keep They're just hoping 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.439 to wear us down. You know they're wrong. They don't 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:10.840 really care. Saturday, I saw something today that Department of 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.640 Justice might be circulating. I haven't seen this confirmed yet. 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.240 It might have been confirmed since I read it. Department 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:20.440 of Justice is circulating what it thinks might be a 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.200 what an Attorney General Barr and others think might be 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:28.880 a possible compromise on a gun control measure, after all 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:33.199 the public outcry, after all these shootings, and President Trump 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.240 is assuring us this is something we should not have 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:39.559 to worry about and left wing Democrats want to confiscate 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:43.960 your guns and eliminate your god given right to self defense. 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:52.199 You know that as your president, I will never allow 0:13:52.280 --> 0:14:00.120 them to take away your liberty, your dignity, your social security, 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:06.439 and I will never ever allow them to take away 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:12.760 your sacred right to keep and bear arms. I don't 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:17.000 know about that right now. There's really there's no political 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:21.840 benefit for Trump in conceding anything on gun control to 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:26.400 the other side. But I am hearing that the Trump 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:31.400 White House and the Department of Justice are thinking about 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.000 are thinking about sending something along. Yeah do you here 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:39.720 you go? DJ sends gun legislation package to the White 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.800 House as debate rages over mat Okay, yeah, no, this 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:44.880 was the options. This was the options. But i've heard 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:48.000 that it's gone beyond that. Now they're narrowing down because 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.600 this was from about a week ago. They're narrowing down 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:55.520 the options to oh, that's right, we should actually do 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:59.360 this thing. I don't see what the benefit is. I 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.840 don't see how this is going to result in anything 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:06.720 other than a feeling of the left getting its way 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.240 on guns, which is not good because you're just encouraging 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.640 them to do more of this, and then you have, 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:22.800 for example, the effort to demonize the NRA continues. The 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:28.000 NRA has held our Congress hostage, doing everything possible to 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.680 obscure the truth, trying to appeal to a small subset 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.000 of extremists. They think they can say, jump and hey, 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.760 appose this bill. Appose appill, don't get that done. Don't 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.000 do that suggest you're either in favor of the Second 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:43.359 Amendment or you want to take everyone's guns away. It's ridiculous. 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.920 It is absolutely ridiculous. And on issue after shoot, they 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.800 are not only out of touch with where the American 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:51.800 people are, they are way out of touch with where 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.800 gun owners are. This is not something we just have 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.200 to put up with. This is not some cosmic force 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.080 that can't be stocked. In other words, when we listen 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.920 to people instead of corporations or special interests, this is 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.800 going to change. I promise you, this is going to change. 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.280 We've got to fight the corruption and we've got to 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.080 be willing to push back. This is something that the 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.560 vast majority of Americans want, and we have got to 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.240 have the courage to take them on. The NRA. We 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.880 can be and it's time that we take action. Tell 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.840 them to stop working for the gun industry and start 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.720 working for the American family. President Trump, please tell them 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:30.200 molan la bay and leave us all alone. Okay, don't 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:35.280 do this, don't go forward with some just it's just 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:40.640 a response to left wing pressure. They haven't won the argument. 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.360 There's there's nothing that they can point to that would 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:47.160 be helpful for saving lives from the perspective of doing 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.560 some kind of gun control measure here, all that all 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.080 that you know you're going to get is additional laws, 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:56.680 additional harassment. I just look today at the what it 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:58.280 takes to getting gone in New York City, because I 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:00.560 would like to exercise my Second Amendment right here. It's 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:05.520 it's gonna take me six months, six months. I was 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:09.199 trained by the federal government with weapons and had a 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.160 top secret clearance for years. It'll take me six months 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.240 to get a gun. And that's assuming that I get 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:16.680 through all this stuff, and then I'll figure out, Wow, 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:17.919 this guy is really right wing. I don't know if 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:22.359 we can give him a gun. Sounds scary. You're gonna 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:24.800 you're gonna make concessions the other side on this, we 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:28.480 have so many gun laws already in place, and it's 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.359 just if you do the universal background check, you're setting 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.520 up what will become a day facto registry. There's every 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.320 every transaction will be will be logged and cataloged, and 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.720 then I'll be able to very easily go through them all, 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:44.560 maintain a database of all of it. And then you 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:46.840 have a registry, and then the call becomes, all right, 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:48.640 everybody who has this kind of gun, turn it in. 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:50.720 All right, everybody who has that kind of gun, turn 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:52.200 it in. All of a sudden, you know, you're left 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:56.760 with double barrel shotguns only Elmer Fud style for legal 0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:00.239 for people that want to own firearms, and for all 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.600 the criminals. Guess what they didn't turn in their stuff? 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:04.920 Oh wow, what a shock. It's almost like how gun 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:10.439 free zones don't stop mass murderers. I worry about Trump 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:12.480 on this one. He says he's a gun guy, and 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:16.400 you know, Trump is great in many ways, but yeah, 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:18.840 he's really I don't know if he really is. He's 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:22.840 not a Second Amendment guy. He listens too much to 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:24.760 people who are giving him bad advice. On this one. 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:26.920 I worry he's getting bad advice from people very close 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:28.719 to him. In the White House. I think that's happening. 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:32.840 Now we'll see. Hopefully I'm wrong on this one. Rarely am. 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.000 One of the reasons why I ran for Congress is 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:39.760 to fight for the healing and the justice of all 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:43.600 survivors one in sixteen women. Of course, we know this 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:47.520 is not a genderized crime, and sexual assault is a crime, 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:53.520 but a crime disproportionally perpetuated on to women, and one 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:57.200 in sixteen women their first sexual experience was rape. This 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.359 is a public health crisis and epidemic. I see it 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:03.639 also as a social justice issue, and it's deeply concerning 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:05.359 that someone who starves on the highest court of the 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:11.560 land could have this many allegation, allegations that are highly 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:18.080 politically motivated and that keep on turning up false. There's 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.240 a reason that we have the process we do. There's 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:22.840 a reason that we have the system we do in place. 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:26.720 It's actually to achieve justice, believes it's not just so 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:30.760 that we can have a system. There are reasons why 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:32.840 we have the presumption of innocence while we have the 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:37.520 right to face accusers. These are all procedural, but yes, 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:41.280 they're also intended to get us to a place of justice. 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:46.560 And it is unjust for someone to suffer professional consequences, 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:55.359 reputational consequences for an endless series of lies, innuendos, smears, 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:59.560 falsehoods that we all understand why they're being made, where 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:04.159 they're coming from. And the Democrats just they go with 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:10.040 it anyway. They realize that if they start adjudicating whether 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.360 something is a fair allegation against somebody like Kavanaugh, then 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:14.959 they might have to do that again in the future. 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:19.439 Better to just stick to the script, keep the party first, 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:23.719 assault going right, attack Cavanaugh. That's all that really matters. 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.760 The truth is irrelevant. Well, here's a little extra bit 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:30.320 of truth that I thought you should all know. Another 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:35.760 thing that just was coincidentally left off of the New 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:41.159 York Times is Sunday Essay and hasn't been mentioned now 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.960 until a few days into this fiasco. So you had 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:48.679 Max Steyer, who I already played for you yesterday. I mean, 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:54.040 this is a guy, a guy who he's like a 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.120 better government or a good government advocator, talks about collectivizing 0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.199 the power of government. This guy's a lib. He's a liberal. 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.760 I mean, that's listening for two seconds. And you know 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:05.000 he also represented Clinton in the nineties. I believe in 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:08.240 the specifically in the Paula Jones issue, but tied into Whitewater, 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:12.200 and I just want to say Watergate, that's a different one. Whitewater, 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:15.320 Monica Lewinsky. It's tough to keep all the Clinton scandals 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:17.960 straight just because it was the whole presidency was really 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:22.680 one long scandal. But it turns out that Max Stier's wife, 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:31.639 Florence you Pan, was nominated by Obama to be on 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:37.000 the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. Resident Obama wanted Florence 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:40.880 you Pan to be on the DC Court of Appeals, 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:45.040 which is known to everybody in legal circles as the 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:50.320 pre eminent stepping stone to the Supreme Court. It's the 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:54.600 anti chamber, it's it's the holding place right before you 0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:57.480 might get a Supreme Court slot if you are so 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:04.600 called upon and chosen. But Florence Yupan did not get 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:11.400 that DC Circuit Court spot because the Republican controlled Congress. 0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:15.720 I'm sorry, I'll Senate under Mitch McConnell just let her 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:20.560 nomination lapse. They didn't. They didn't, you know, destroy your character. 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:24.680 They didn't drum up fake allegations, call her a criminal 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:26.680 based on nothing, and no, they didn't do any of that. 0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:31.199 They just decided that Republicans had a majority. The Senate. 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:33.840 Senate rules allow them to decide whether or not they're 0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:35.240 going to have an up or down vote on this 0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:39.639 particular nominee for the DC Circuit, and they just didn't 0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:43.479 do it, just like it was the Merrick Garland situation, 0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:45.600 except Merrick Garland was up for a Supreme Court seat. 0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:49.800 This is for the DC Circuit. Now, someone please explain 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:54.119 to me why it is that in none of the 0:22:54.240 --> 0:22:57.680 interviews that these New York Times authors of this Kavanaugh 0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:00.439 hit book, which is what it is. It's not going 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:02.399 to be a hit, but it's a hit book. I mean, 0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:06.280 it's it's meant to go after Kavanaugh. Someone explained to 0:23:06.280 --> 0:23:09.520 me why they didn't think that was relevant information. The 0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:13.240 one witness they can cite that's new claiming an event 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:16.800 that even the so called victim herself does not recall. 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:22.720 Their one witness has a wife who was blocked by 0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:28.240 Republicans from more or less becoming Supreme Court Junior Justice 0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:34.160 Florence Upan right right before the Supreme Court. You don't 0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:36.240 think that maybe there's a little bit of bitterness there 0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:39.920 that doesn't go perhaps to motive with this guy. He 0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:42.760 sees an opportunity. Yeah, I was at Yale with Kavanaugh. 0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:46.000 We got drunk a lot. Who's gonna know. See, one 0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:48.480 of the problems with these allegations against Kavanaugh is that 0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:52.880 not only can they not not only is it very 0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:58.720 hard to entirely disprove them because they're so old and 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:04.880 so vague and so lacking in any real detail. No 0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:07.680 one's going to get in any trouble for making these 0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:10.200 kinds of allegations. All you have to be is a 0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:14.359 liberal Democrat who believes very strongly in Roe v. Wade, 0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:16.960 and he was very angry about the conservative tilt of 0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:19.119 the Supreme Court, and you know all the rest of it. 0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:22.080 And Trump, And you say, yeah, I think I'm pretty 0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:26.320 sure Kavanaugh one night late drunk at a party. I mean, 0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:28.359 I could tell you this. I could get away with 0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:30.679 saying this about anybody that I went to college with. 0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:33.080 Who's a guy. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I saw him 0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:35.119 at a party one night and he got really drunk, 0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:37.199 and you know he might have I think he groped 0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:40.719 a girls, you know, behind and she was very upset. 0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:42.840 But no one really remembers because we're drunk How are 0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:45.840 you going to disprove that I could even swear that 0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:51.080 under oath, I could even bear false witness. That's right, 0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:53.120 there's a reason why that's a sin. I could bear 0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:56.560 false witness and swear with my right hand on a bible, 0:24:56.560 --> 0:24:59.640
