Buck Sexton, Welcome to the 10 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Everybody, great to have you here with me, 11 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: very much, appreciate it, honor approved edge and a pleasure. 12 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: You want to chat with me eight four or four 13 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: eight to five eight four four nine d buck. We 14 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: should definitely have a talk about all of all of 15 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: the things that are going on right now in the world, 16 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: whatever is on your mind, whatever particularly catches your fancy. Um, So, 17 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: the biggest thing going on right now is the march 18 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: to the wall. Now, when I say that, you could 19 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: think of two things. One, this caravan that has decided 20 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: that it is it is no longer going do we 21 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: have the caravan has stopped for now? Right but I 22 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: would not take that to the bank, folks. Cart caravans, stop, 23 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: caravans go. It's the nature of these things. It might 24 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: just be laying low until the political winds shift a 25 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: little bit. They may decide to go to a different area, 26 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: try and cross. We shall see. We will delve into that. 27 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: But we could also be talking about the march to 28 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:06,919 Speaker 1: our border from the north by members of the National Guard. 29 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: President Trump has sent the National Guard to the border 30 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: to help with border security in response to the unacceptable 31 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: flow of drugs, criminal activity, and illegal immigrants. Before I 32 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: go much deeper into what all this means, let's just 33 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: ask a very basic question. I want to focus on immigration, 34 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: the basics of it in some ways, because we have 35 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: to deprogram ourselves. Much of what we believe, much of 36 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: what we think when it comes to immigration, is in 37 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: fact not true, because there has been a concerted campaign, 38 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: a collaboration, if you will, between the Democrats and the 39 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: left wing mainstream media and the elite establishment in this country, 40 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: and and a by bipartisan fashion. Folks, a lot of 41 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: a publicans get blame on this one too. But to 42 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: convince us all that immigration doesn't really need to be 43 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: enforced immigration is always good. The more the merrier, in fact, 44 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: not just the more of the marrier. We have an 45 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: obligation to take in as many people from the third 46 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: world as possible, as many people who can come into 47 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: the country who are in desperate need of assistance. That 48 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: would because we have an obligation, because we've done bad 49 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: things in the rest of the world. You see, it 50 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: is in some ways an expansion or an addendum to 51 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: the post colonial thinking of the academic elite. Right. They 52 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: think America did all these bad things all over the world, 53 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: and that's why there are problems. Why is the midiast 54 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: so messed up? Oh, it's America's fault, right. Why is 55 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: South America Central America? Why do they have all these 56 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: problems they've got depending on the country. Uh, it's America's fault. 57 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: So what should we do to make up for it? 58 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: Just bring them in. The more of the merrier, right, 59 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: the more people we can bring into this country, the better. 60 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: Why is why does Mexico have the problems that it tells? 61 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: They'll say it's America's fault. In fact, on the very 62 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: issue of the opioid epidemic, of of the drugs that 63 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: are flooding into this country from Mexico. You will notice 64 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: that there are there are Mexican politicians. I have heard 65 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: them say it, and there are certainly a lot of 66 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: journalists as well who blame the problems of Mexico's police 67 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:35,799 Speaker 1: and governmental corruption on the United States, because you see, 68 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: we're the market for the drugs. Therefore, it's our fault 69 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: that cartel's run parts of that country the way they do. 70 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: It's our fault that there is endemic corruption across the 71 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: Mexican government and security forces. Right What most people don't 72 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: ever get to stop and think is, hold on a second, 73 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: what is it due to our country we have? You know, 74 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: we have a country right next door that is turning 75 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: a blind eye to vast illegal immigration that has been 76 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: going on for decades. And that is a necessary component 77 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: of the strategy of setting up uh coyotes, smugglers, setting 78 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: up these smuggling networks, establishing forward operating positions for the 79 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: drug cartels in America for the distribution distribution of substances 80 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: that are now killing over sixty thousand of US a year. 81 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: And as I've said to you, and it should not 82 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: have been hard to figure this out, but it's taken 83 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: some time, some number crunching, and finally the truth is 84 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: getting out. It's not mostly oxycon that people are overdosing on. 85 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: It's not mostly drugs that you can actually get a 86 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: prescription for and for which there are real medical needs. 87 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: That's a component of the problem, but it is a 88 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: much smaller piece of this puzzle, and we've been led 89 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: to leave Why is that all? Because if Americans actually 90 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: started to think, hold on a second, having an unsecure border, 91 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: having vast, uncontrolled, near unrestricted illegal immigration into the country 92 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: for years and years and years, isn't just a problem 93 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: for the economy. It isn't just a problem for cultural cohesion. 94 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: It's a security problem that is costing thousands of lives 95 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: each year. You do not have, You flatly do not 96 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: have the heroin overdoses and fentanyl overdoses that have been 97 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: occurring in this country. If they weren't growing heroin now 98 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: in the highlands of Mexico, a lot harder to get 99 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: the stuff here from Afghanistan, folks, if you didn't have 100 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: cartels both making their own illegal fentanyl and bringing in 101 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: from vast labs in China, so it moves from the 102 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: Chinese labs into Mexico and then across our border via 103 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: the Mexican cartel pipelines, which are the same pipelines as 104 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: illegal and it's the same pipelines that use human smuggling. 105 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: In fact, the human smuggling networks provide money for these 106 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: organizations that are also moving to drugs. The same thing, right, 107 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: if you're if you know where, if you're moving people 108 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: across the board, if you're doing illegal things, why would 109 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: you stop it? Moving people who as we know also 110 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: we'll sometimes get killed in the process. A lot of 111 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: women are are raped by this, the smugglers. The terrible 112 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: things happen due to the human smuggling involving we call 113 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: them coyotes, you know, but the human smugglers tied to 114 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: the cartels. And we're having this this change in perception 115 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: about what this all means for us. You know that 116 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: we have a multibillion dollar media apparatus in this country. 117 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: We have I can't even count how many different I 118 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: can't even name all the different organizations that have investigative reporters, 119 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: that's what they call them, investigative reporters on their staffs. 120 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: How many of them have been investigating what's going on 121 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: with MS thirteen, last couple of years, last ten years, 122 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: even very few, There are some, but very few. How 123 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: many of them are looking into the opioid epidemic and 124 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: tying it to illegal immigrant communities because it is necessary 125 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: for the cartels to have illegal immigrants in an area 126 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: that they can use for cover for the actions are taken, 127 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: which is selling the drugs that are killing so many 128 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,119 Speaker 1: of us, and looking at what's going on across the border, 129 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: and also any complicity on the part of the Mexican government. 130 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: The answer is very very few. Why is that because 131 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: they're not interested in it. Why it's a fascinating story, 132 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: isn't it. And you've got you've got life and death issues, drugs, cartels, violence, 133 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: government corruption, nation changing stuff here over the long run, 134 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: with the flow of illegals into the country, what that 135 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: does to our political climate, what it does to our 136 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: economy over time, and and and then the drug drug 137 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: epidemic worse than it's ever been, hitting hearts of the 138 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 1: country that aren't used to thinking about any kind of 139 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: criminal threat that could be mortal. Really right, it's hitting 140 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: areas that otherwise would be quite safe and quite peaceful, 141 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: and we're it's just all now coming out, and why 142 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: because we have a president that we have been told 143 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: by that same media is a liar, is allowed, is grotesque, 144 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: doesn't know anything. And here we are finally having the discussion. 145 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: The truth is coming out. It's taken quite a while. 146 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: It's becoming acceptable to discuss these issues in public and 147 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: not worry you're gonna lose your job, lose your reputation 148 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: because the left can't change the facts. They can hide them, 149 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: but they can't really change them. They can come up 150 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: with fake news, but the truth is in fact to 151 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: borrow from. Um, what's the show with the aliens? With 152 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: the FBI guys, you know what I'm talking about, the 153 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: X files. The truth is out there. The truth is 154 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: out there. It's out there own immigration. So I think 155 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: the Trump sending a national guard is essential. And the 156 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: I don't even know if I ask you this basic question. 157 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: This is where I was going initially, and then I 158 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: got a little bit of a rant, a little of 159 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: a tear. Why didn't other presidents do this? This is 160 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: a national security issue. Why hasn't the national Guard? And 161 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: I know what people say, it's been done, but bomb administration, 162 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: I didn't want to do this. Why and why is 163 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: it so strange to the media that this is happening 164 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: such a shock to them? Right now, we'll get into 165 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: this and and much more. I have updates for you 166 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: or it won't be all that much. But an update 167 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: on the the YouTube shooting yesterday that was just because 168 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: that was the whole thing is just bizarre. Only the 169 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: shooter was killed, so that's very fortunate. Um. Well, we've 170 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: got information on her, which I'm sure some of you 171 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: have seen, but whoa, UM also discuss uh the latest 172 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: of the Mother probe. Dershuitz will weigh in later on 173 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: the show as a sound bite, not a guest. That 174 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: makes it sounds like I was gonna have. We got 175 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: Emily Compania, who honestly I'd much rather have than Dershwitz. 176 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: So there's that. Um. We'll talk to her about what's 177 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: going on with the Mother investigation at this point in time, 178 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: and uh oh and Amazon and Trump and all the 179 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: fighting over Amazon. Will get into that too, and Chinese tariffs. Man, 180 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 1: I got we gotta packed. It's a good thing. I've 181 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: got three hours. See I'm not I'm not, damn. Rather, 182 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: I don't do a thirty minute show here. We'll talk 183 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: about that as well. I just laid out a whole 184 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: laundry list. Folks will hit it. I'll be right back. 185 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: Stay with me. Word security is home in security, which 186 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: is national security. It's not a partisan issue. It's not 187 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: something we can separate out. It's core to being a 188 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: sovereign nation. The President has reiterated this many times. In fact, 189 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: he has specifically said that a sovereign nation that cannot 190 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: or worse not chooses not to defend it supporters will 191 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: soon seize, in fact, to be a savereign nation. The 192 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: threat is real. D h S Secretary Kirsty Nielsen. They're 193 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: saying that this is a security issue top to bottom, 194 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: and it's time to do something about about the border. 195 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: And this president has finally decided to be as proactive 196 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: as he can on this issue. I think that he 197 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: also recognized that the Omnibus bill upset a lot of 198 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 1: us in his in his corner, myself included you know 199 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,599 Speaker 1: that I told you about that what had happened. I 200 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: felt like the President did not give us. You know, 201 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: it was not as promised. That is for sure. The 202 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: Omnibus bill was not good enough. And the big part 203 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: of it that was a miss. The fact that there 204 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: was not really wall fund. There was a little wall funding, 205 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: but nothing, nothing significant, not enough. And so now we're 206 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: seeing a president who's taking all the actions that he 207 00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: can from a purely executive authority. Standpoint to here the 208 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: border and who's who's the guests eating. The media is like, wow, 209 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: the president that is going to go with the rule 210 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: of law. Here, this we should really encourage. This is great, 211 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: you know. Oh no, oh no, they think this is 212 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: some kind of terrible human rights abuse. They hate this 213 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: idea of securing the border. They absolutely hate it. I'm 214 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: not sure to understand what the emergency for this is. 215 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: It seems like it ramped up interest over the last 216 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: several days and since the weekend. In fact, the House 217 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: is not here, the Senate is not here. Um, why 218 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: is this such an urgent priority right now for the 219 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: president to sign? We are seeing more and more advertising 220 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: and very unfortunately by the traffickers and smugglers to ourselves, 221 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: specific to how to get around our system and enter 222 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: our country and stay. We have documented cases of borrowing children, 223 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: of carrying out the border as a family unit in 224 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: a fraudulent way. So, oh, you mean people abuse our 225 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: immigration laws and lie and commit fraud so they can 226 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: exploit the loopholes. What a shock. I've been telling you 227 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: how many times some I've been saying to you. You know, 228 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: we got a lot of unaccompanied seventeen year olds at 229 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 1: the border who are actually twenty five. A lot of 230 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: people who are like, yeah, that's my kid, Take me 231 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: in and then let me let me go inside the US. 232 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: And there's there's never going to be accountability for this. 233 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: Our border security system is a joke. If foreigners can 234 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: show up, lie and no, there's a ninety chance they're 235 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: gonna get to stay. Another thing, by the way, do 236 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: you really think that the border, the border patrol is 237 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: able to determine on the spot without any papers or identification. 238 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: Of course they don't have that right there on documented 239 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: tell the difference in whether someone's coming from Honduras or 240 00:14:54,160 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: Else Salvador or you know, Mexico, Bolivia, who knows and 241 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: even who shows up who it seems like they can 242 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: pass for coming from Latin America. Heck, I mean they're 243 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: probably guys are showing up who weren't even from Latin America, 244 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: were saying, yeah, I'm from El Salvador, Take me in. 245 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: You know, you don't even speak Spanish. Details I'm fleeing violence. 246 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: You say, buck, No, there's a court system, and they 247 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: they don't even show up for court. We don't enforce 248 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: the laws. We don't tell people that that's what's going on, 249 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: or the media does tell people that's what's going on. 250 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: But it's the truth. Once you're here, you get to stay. 251 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: I mean, heck, do you even had Democrats? Until Democrats recently, 252 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: I have been willing to stand up for keeping everyone 253 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: in this country is here illegally up to an including criminals, 254 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: as long as they weren't really dangerous, violent criminals. And 255 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: even then you get the sense there's some Democrats who 256 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: are like, no, there there are problem. Now. Yeah, it's 257 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: not it's not a U. S. Citizen and it's not 258 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: somebody who's league allowed to be here. And it's a 259 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: gang member who's got blood on his hands. Let's not 260 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: send let's not be mean, deport him, send him back 261 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: to his home country. What kind of kind of savages 262 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: are we if we do such a thing, right, you 263 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: get the sense that, I mean, the Democrats have completely 264 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: lost it on this one. But this is what I 265 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: keep saying, If they could only be normal and pose 266 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: as a party that cared about a party that really 267 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: just cared about health care and all, let's give more 268 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: money to the teachers unions or for quote education, and 269 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: we we want to help the work in man and 270 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: we were all that stuff. They might have it, they 271 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: might have a real shot in the mid terms, but 272 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: the problem is they're actually a far left party. Now 273 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: there is no more there's no more constituency or or 274 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: there's no more representation of a constituency that would have 275 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: been in line with you know, the Democrats of thirty 276 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: fourty years ago. That's why people keep talking about what 277 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: Reagan was facing. There were there were pretty normal, reasonable 278 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: Democrats in the Congress that that Reagan could work with. Right, 279 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: there are actually people who could be counted on to 280 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: see things with a rational with a rational ie from 281 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: the other party. You don't have a lot of that, now, 282 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: do you. No, you do not. I mean, look at 283 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: who runs Look at who runs things for the Democrats. 284 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: It's the far left. And on immigration, the far left 285 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: means that they are a party of amnesty, the party 286 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 1: of lawlessness, and the party of you better pay your 287 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: taxes to the letter so that we can just increase 288 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: access for illegal and access is just a nice way 289 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: of saying welfare, uh, to illegal aliens in this country, 290 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: for health care, for for school, for everything else and 291 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: the stuff that people say. You know, I've actually had 292 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: some pretty uncomfortable exchanges with folks from the libertarian side 293 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: on this too, some of these libertarian think tanks that 294 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: will not remain that will remain unnamed. Where though, so 295 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, no, everything that every every immigrant just could 296 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: just contribute to the economy, well yeah, I'm sure, but 297 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: what do they take from the economy? What's the cost? 298 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: And also what is the cost to a rule of law? 299 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna have to write a very painful 300 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: check to the I R S this week. I'm actually 301 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: gonna do it probably tomorrow. I don't get to say, 302 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: you know, I just I'm gonna do really good things 303 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: on the money. I'm gonna give a lot more of 304 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: it to charity. If I just don't have to pay 305 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 1: my taxes, and it also doesn't matter, It doesn't matter 306 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: any of you. Right, if I didn't pay my tax 307 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: doesn't matter any of you. It is irrational to think 308 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: that one person's taxes matter. Oh but it's the law. 309 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: So I'm a citizen. I respect the law and I 310 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: obey it even on our own agree with it. Why 311 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: does something not seem right? Then with our immigration enforcement, 312 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: he's holding the line for America, buck Sexton his back. 313 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 1: We stepped up the targeting of dangerous criminal gangs such 314 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,959 Speaker 1: as MS thirteen. We removed thousands more criminal aliens than 315 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: the year prior. We no longer exempt entire classes of 316 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: illegal aliens from the consequences of breaking our immigration laws. 317 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: We began the first new border while system construction in 318 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: close to a decade. We modified our asylum system processing 319 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: to more quickly adjudicate claims. And we ended so called 320 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: temporary immigration programs that were either constitutionally dubious or were 321 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 1: administered in a manner that was inconsistent with the purpose 322 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: of the law or contrary to the intent of Congress. 323 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: Despite these actions, we've recently seen the numbers of illegal 324 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: border crossings rise from forty year low's last April to 325 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: pre back to previous levels. Our current border security and 326 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: immigration laws failed the American people. Really good rundown there 327 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: from DHS Secretary Nielsen about what they're doing and what 328 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: they're facing right now. My friends, this has been going 329 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: on for decades. As you mentioned three in that same speech, 330 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: three hundred thousand legal alien crossers each year, three hundred 331 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: thousand a year. There's a lot of people coming into 332 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: a country who are completely unvetted who you know, We 333 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,479 Speaker 1: don't We don't know what they're gonna do when they 334 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: get here. We don't know if we can count on 335 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: them to contribute to the economy or if there'll be 336 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: a net drain on the economy. We don't know if 337 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: they're going to act in ways that are in compliance 338 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: with the rest of our laws. And most importantly, we're 339 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: bringing them into our polity, into our political tribe, if 340 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: you will, this thing called America without being invited. Now 341 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: there are responsibility. Now, this is an imposition on all 342 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 1: the American people. As you're you know, getting ready, if 343 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: you're having if you haven't already done it, you pay 344 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: your taxes this week. Just remember that this is theft 345 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: that is going on. It is theft the Democrats, just 346 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,239 Speaker 1: like how China steals their intellectual property. You can come 347 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: up with a lot of different ways. Oh, no, they're 348 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: just it's a program and we're information sharing. No, they're stealing. 349 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: Chinese government is stealing. And if you start to break 350 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: this down into information as dollars and dollars as time. 351 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: People that are doing a lot of R and D 352 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: for high tech US companies and that see that gets 353 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: siphoned off to China through illicit means. It's like their 354 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 1: time is being stolen from them, right, their money is 355 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: being stolen because now you're gonna have Chinese companies that 356 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: are able to use those same those that same information, 357 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: those proprietary secrets for their own benefits. So when you 358 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: pay your taxes, now understand the Democrats are complicit. I 359 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: shouldn't even say complicit. Democrats are masterminding a vast scheme 360 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: two under my eye, the rule of law, but also 361 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: to redistribute your wealth to people that aren't even allowed 362 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 1: to be in the country. People who say illegal aliens 363 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: don't get federal ben are lying to you. There are 364 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: all kinds of ways they get benefits. The biggest benefit 365 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,199 Speaker 1: I would note is to be in America and to 366 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: work here and to enjoy our rule of law, our systems, 367 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: our day to day life. That's the biggest benefit of 368 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: being here. I mean, yeah, there's also a whole lot 369 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,239 Speaker 1: of federal welfare programs. But what people want more than 370 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: anything else is they would like to be in this country. 371 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: And so if they just take that there is a 372 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: value there, there was value in it. Um, how just 373 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: one more thing here, I don't I don't buy that 374 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: the caravan is done, this caravan of a thousands Central 375 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: Americans marching through Mexico on their way to the knowing 376 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: that they're just going to turn themselves in an undercurrent 377 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: law because the Democrats. Remember if if the Republican Congress, 378 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: you know, as I say this, why the heck isn't 379 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: the Republican Congress trying to do this at least force 380 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: the Democrats hand on it, make them filibuster. I I thought, you, 381 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: we can't trust Republicans on this. I think Trump is 382 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: serious about it, but you can't trust Paul Ryan on immigration. 383 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: Paul Ryan is terrible on immigration, terrible. He's right along, 384 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: right along with the you know, let's do get let's 385 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: do lots of guessworker programs, and let's do a mass amnesty. 386 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: And he'd give Nancy Pelosi pretty much everything she wants 387 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: for her you know, the the Pelosi preferred immigration program. 388 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 1: Because right now is the time for the Republican Congress 389 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: to pass measures to address exactly what DHS Secretary Nielsen 390 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: was talking about, to restore sovereignty and rule of law 391 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: when it comes to our immigration system and our border. 392 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: Make the Democrats filibuster, make them stand up and state 393 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: their case that they don't really believe that we are 394 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: allowed to have borders. We can, we can have administration 395 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: at the borders. Oh yeah, we'll know who's coming in, 396 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: but we can't really turn anyone away, and we certainly 397 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: can't expel anyone once they've gotten into this country. That's 398 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: but but I don't believe that this caravan is done. Um. 399 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: I have a feeling that Okay, right now Trump is 400 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: mentioning or as Trump has decided to activate National Guard, 401 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: that's gonna be under the control of the governors in 402 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: various states. And I know, before people start calling in, yeah, 403 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: the Bush administration did this too. I'm not saying it's unprecedented, 404 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: but it shouldn't be surprised. The media's are, oh my god, 405 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: you're militarized border are freaking out about it. What's the 406 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: alternative to continue as we are right now? To continue 407 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: as is? That's really no alternative in the long run, 408 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 1: it just leads to disaster. Tim and Rhode Island. You've 409 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: got thoughts on this, we want to hear him. Yes, sir, 410 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: you're on radio. Hey, how's it going. It's good? What's up? Hey? 411 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: Thanks for having thanks for having me on. So let's 412 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: not get this twisted. The Democrats want these people in 413 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: this country because they want votes. Absolutely, I say that 414 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: all the time. I just I can't, for the life 415 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: of me figure it out why people that our public 416 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: figures aren't calling them out for this. It's it's obvious, 417 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: it's clear as day. Why are they not doing anything 418 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: about it? Why are they not calling them out? I 419 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 1: just are you. Politics is just run by money. It's 420 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: all about money. So why aren't there enough people like 421 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: us that think like us getting together and trying to 422 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: get rid of this political system? Okay, well a couple 423 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: of things your Tim. One is that the position of 424 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: greatest virtue signaling on immigration is the you know, give 425 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: me you're tired, your poor, your meek, you're hungry, or whatever. 426 00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: I mean. The position that celebrities, Democrat politicians, persons of 427 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: note with money, influence and followings and platforms, the position 428 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,479 Speaker 1: they look to take is Oh no, we want you know, 429 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: the more the merrier, and legal, illegal doesn't doesn't matter. 430 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: We just want the more the merrier. Because immigrants, we 431 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: we have been brainwashed in this country to think that 432 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: immigrants are actually better than Americans. That we are we 433 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: are at the same time a country of immigrants, but 434 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: immigrants are also better than us. So we're all immigrants, 435 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: but immigrants are better than us. And it's it's convoluted, 436 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: it's self contradictory, it makes no sense. But this is 437 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: what they've been feeding us over time. And I have 438 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: to laugh. I just talked to somebody to said, you know, 439 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: occasionally I even I rail against using the term undocumented 440 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: because it's so dishonest, But I occasionally I'll even go, yeah, 441 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: you know, what are we gonna do with all these undocumented? 442 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it just happens. It's the effect of 443 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: the propaganda, it's the effect of the messaging and on 444 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: on immigration. We've just had a wake up call as 445 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: a country that we have been lied to, not just 446 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: by one administration, not just by one news network. We 447 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: have been lied to as a people. All Americans, whether 448 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 1: they've realized it or not. On the left, on the 449 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: right about what's really going on here with the policies 450 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: of the government are and what the long term impact 451 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 1: will be for all of us. But Tim, the really, 452 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,479 Speaker 1: you know, the answer to why don't more people stand up? 453 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: Because you don't want to be called racist, because you 454 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: don't be called mean, and all these different phrases are 455 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: deployed so that it seems like you're just being unfair. 456 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: You know, most illegal immigrants in this country are non white, 457 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: so there's a racial issue, a racial component that gets 458 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 1: brought into it. That's why, Well, I think Buck that 459 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: more people need to stand up for each other that 460 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: believe like we do. You see it all over the place, 461 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: just with Laura Ingram So this uh, this hot kid 462 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: says that everyone should boycott her. Why aren't people that 463 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: think like her trying to defend her? I think, to 464 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: be honest with you him, I think people did. I 465 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: think there are a lot of people that came to 466 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: Laura's defense, and and we're saying, you know, I stand 467 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: with Laura, and and Fox did the right thing, and 468 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: it's an important precedent they set because otherwise it's all over. 469 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: I mean, this whole business just just is going to disintegrate. 470 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: So you know, I think that there's people are waking 471 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 1: up to this, Tim, thank you for calling in from 472 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: Rhode Island. People are waking up this a bit more 473 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 1: now and they are taking action and they are understanding 474 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: what's at stake here. So you know, I find the 475 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: immigration it should be very very important. Will continue to 476 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: watch it closely here in the Freedom hunt. And uh, 477 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: I also want to talk to you about trade China. Uh. 478 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: More stuff on Facebook.

It's not it's not your friend. Facebook is 492 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: a massive corporation that makes a lot of money. Facebook 493 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: is a very capital efficient business. It's one of the 494 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: most powerful corporations financially speaking otherwise on the planet. Right now, 495 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: people are like, oh, but the community standards and the 496 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: terms of service and we're protected. Nope, you're or not. Um. 497 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: So Zuckerberg was on a phone call the CEO, who 498 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,719 Speaker 1: is I think a couple of a year or two 499 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: younger than me. He's a billionaire whatever, I'm worth like 500 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: hundreds of dollars. So Zuckerberg was on this conference call 501 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: and he said, quote, we've seen some scraping. I would 502 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: assume that if you had that setting turned on, that 503 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: someone at some point has access to your public information 504 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: in some way. Just kind of kind of break down 505 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,239 Speaker 1: what he's saying here. I mean, I don't even really 506 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: need do you know what? You know what it is? 507 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: Because he said it public information, stuff that you are 508 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: sharing with the general public that anyone has a right 509 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: to see, can be grabbed by online entities in order 510 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: to market stuff to you. Why does this get everyone all, 511 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what's going on here? People have this 512 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: notion that Facebook owes them something. No, no, no, oh, 513 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: we have we have the Zuckerberg call. We know people 514 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: play it. Over the period of time that this feature 515 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: has been has been around, people have been able to um, 516 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: have been able to scrape public information, right, I mean 517 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: the the information that you can if you have someone's 518 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: phone number, you can put that in and then you 519 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: can get you know, a link to their profile which 520 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: pulls up public information. So I certainly think that that, um, 521 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: it is reasonable to expect that if you had that 522 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: setting turned on, that at some point in the last 523 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: several years, UM, someone has probably accessed, um, your public 524 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: information in this way. This is a big scandal, big story. 525 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: This should be like me saying, oh my gosh, things 526 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: that I say over the radio people across the country 527 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:55,239 Speaker 1: can hear. Yes, that is correct. Stuff that you put 528 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: on your Facebook profile that is set to public is public, 529 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: and you should always assume that stuff you have in 530 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: your Facebook profile that's not public might as well be. 531 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: Privacy is a very different concept that we have now. Uh, 532 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: Privacy is changing very rapidly, and we need to understand 533 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: that there are trade off and I think we do 534 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: what you do I do. This is largely coming from 535 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: people who either are are deluded about what these social 536 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: media companies are really up to, right, they want to 537 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: believe that there's some that that they're all about. Social 538 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 1: media is about social good, you know, doing good things 539 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: for people, just connecting the world and all that stuff. Now, 540 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: social media is a tool, just like any number of 541 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: other things. Can be used for good, can we use 542 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: for bad things? But this got all this attention because 543 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: of Cambridge Analytica and Hillary and so they've kept running 544 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: with this story. And I sit around here and I'm like, 545 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: what is the what is the surprise? Exactly? I don't 546 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: even understand dand at this point how anyone could believe 547 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: anything other than yeah, it's Facebook and these other companies. 548 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: You know, they they have access to your stuff. They know, 549 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: you know, if you put male or female where you live. 550 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: And they have said now we're being told that they 551 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: might be scanning your private messages. Okay, so they may 552 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: scan your private messages. So what they say they're doing 553 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: it to avoid because of terms of service violations or something. 554 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: But I don't even know what what they're really looking for, 555 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,479 Speaker 1: because I mean, I'm assuming that some people on their 556 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: Facebook messages. You know, things got a little spicy probably 557 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: sometimes you know, hey, are you an angel? Because you 558 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: look like you just fell from heaven? You know what 559 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: I mean. I will say from some friends of mine 560 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: who have you know, who have who have deep experience, 561 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: uh considerable experience on the on the dating apps, that 562 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: they hear stories from some of their lady friends that 563 00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: occasionally the photos that are sent are, um are what's 564 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: the world? What's the way to say this? Because I 565 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: know there's young young ones listening. Um so I was there, there, 566 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: there there and what did you say? Oh no, I 567 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: was gonna say. Are very anatomically specific? Different? Yeah, we're 568 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: looking we're talking about different things here. That's a common thing. 569 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 1: Is that a violation the terms of service? I don't know. 570 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 1: Maybe it's in the confines of a loving, loving adult relationship, 571 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: you know what husbands and wives want to send each 572 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 1: other on Facebook as their own business. So I don't 573 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: know why they're looking at that data for possible terms 574 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: of service violation. But the other thing is the Internet 575 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: can only know what you put on the Internet. So 576 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: you know, the Internet may know that you uh, you know, 577 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: the Internet may know that that that me for example, 578 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: they may know that I I like Republican stuff and 579 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:55,760 Speaker 1: dogs and you know, going to the beach or something, 580 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, but they don't necessarily know, you know, afraid 581 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 1: of clowns and doesn't always think that, you know, if 582 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: you're particularly relax while you're taking a shower, that you 583 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 1: need to step out of the shower to attend to 584 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: all your business, you know, whatever it may be. You know, 585 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: that's only stuff that that the internet knows. If you 586 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: put it out there on the internet, it doesn't know it. 587 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: Because you know, everyone just needs to just take a 588 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: deep breath on this one. I just don't see where 589 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: the the freak out continues to be here. You have 590 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: Facebook has all this information, they are gathering all this stuff. 591 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: I try to tell people this all the time. They 592 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,879 Speaker 1: ask me, oh, you know, well what about that? They think? 593 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: And I understand it too, because you know, I come 594 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: from a CIA background, and so I was like, no, 595 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: it's not really what I did. But they'll say it, Oh, 596 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: can people you know, can people uh hack into your 597 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: computer and see you v a camera? And I say, 598 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: you know, yeah they can, and don't I don't know 599 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: how to stop that. Listen, do you do the do 600 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: you guys do the tape on the at home the 601 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,439 Speaker 1: tape on the the camera. You know what I'm saying. 602 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: I know people who do that. I think it's a 603 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: little I think that's a little bit paranoid. What are 604 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: they gonna see. You're gonna see me sitting there my 605 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not like doing interpretive dances in front 606 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: of my computer when I go home, Or maybe i am, 607 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: but at least if I'm going to do that, I 608 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: would cover the you know, the cover of the camera. 609 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: But I don't know what people are thinking about this stuff. 610 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 1: The Facebook story, It's just not that interesting to me 611 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: right now, but everyone else has really worked up about it. 612 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: We've gotta talk about China and tariffs coming up here 613 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: and Amazon first.

He's back with you now, because when 630 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. 631 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the buck Sex and show everyone. Uh, 632 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: yesterday we went on air right in the aftermath of 633 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 1: that shooting at YouTube's headquarters in California, and I gotta 634 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: say I was here in the hut with the guys, 635 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: with my team, and we were looking at this and thinking, 636 00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: oh gosh, this is you know, you see parts of 637 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: lots of many shots fired, and law enforcement confirmed there 638 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: was an active shooter situation, and it was a a 639 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,800 Speaker 1: relief that no one was killed other than the shooter, 640 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,479 Speaker 1: which seems very unlikely. I mean, if somebody had gone 641 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: in there trying to cause maximum casualties had a firearm 642 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,280 Speaker 1: and was able to get off a lot of rounds. 643 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: You would think that you could be in a there 644 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: could be much higher casualt account. But the initial reporting 645 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 1: on it was that there was a woman and that's 646 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, a white woman with a head scarf who 647 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:46,280 Speaker 1: was shooting her boyfriend. I remember that. And sometime last 648 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 1: night the story went from this is remember this is 649 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: about the shooting it at YouTube. White woman shoots boyfriend 650 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: at YouTube headquarters to Iranian Muslim vegan video blogger Active 651 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: engaged in rage shooting of YouTube because it demonetized her videos. 652 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 1: That is that is quite a quite a change in 653 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,280 Speaker 1: the storyline or an addition to the storyline. It turns 654 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: out that the the YouTube shooter spoke with police just 655 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: hours before the attack and they saw she was sleeping 656 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 1: in a car in Mounteview, California, and they thought that 657 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:30,879 Speaker 1: she might be a missing person, so they just talked 658 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: to her and they had no reason to detain her 659 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 1: or to suspect anything, so they let her go. Some 660 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: people saying that's a they misred flags. There's nothing they did. 661 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: I don't know what they were supposed to see in 662 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: that this woman uh Ne seem Agdam has lots of videos. 663 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 1: I saw clips and they are making the rounds last night. 664 00:39:53,480 --> 00:40:00,040 Speaker 1: It looks at very clearly a a a bizarre, a 665 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 1: czarre person. She was. She she killed herself here and 666 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: I think we can assume had some very serious mental illness. 667 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:14,240 Speaker 1: She would make these videos that were parody music videos. 668 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 1: She was a a well, it was well established that 669 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: she was an animal rights activist, was always railing against 670 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: animal cruelty, was a vegan, and was Iranian. And that's 671 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 1: that's kind of what we know. She was angry at 672 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 1: at YouTube, angry because I kept changing the terms of 673 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 1: service on her, or they kept demonetizing her videos, and 674 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: she said that they were restricting and this is from 675 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,320 Speaker 1: the other videos she posted, right, Or they're restricting people's 676 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: ability to watch her videos, putting age restrictions on them. 677 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: And so she thought that she was a victim of 678 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 1: some kind of YouTube censorship. She may have been I 679 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 1: don't know, paranoid, schizophrenic or something that I can't do 680 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,800 Speaker 1: a medical diagnosis from a far her once amount of 681 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 1: medical doctor. And two we don't have enough information just yet, 682 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 1: but certainly seems like there was something. Well we know 683 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: there's something very wrong where there just turned into a 684 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: a the YouTube shooter. But it seems like there was 685 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: something clinically quite wrong with her. Just one thing I 686 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: would note. You know, yesterday I asked you, I said, 687 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 1: how is it? This is one of the questions that 688 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: why if she's if you're just going to shoot her, 689 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: if you're just going to shoot a boyfriend, if it's 690 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 1: a lover's quarrel that goes that turns into violence, you 691 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: probably not going to shoot three other people, right, So 692 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: this was an attempt at mass shooting, and I thought 693 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: it was strange that initially we were getting these law 694 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: enforced reports about how or the initial reports, I should 695 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 1: say from contact with law enforcement was that it was, uh, 696 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 1: she was targeting her boyfriend. There was no boy She 697 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 1: just went in and started shooting some people, which in 698 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 1: the context of the situation, if you play it on 699 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 1: your head, well yeah, it was a mass shooting. She 700 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: was trying to get revenge on YouTube for the perceived 701 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: slights of demonetizing her videos. Um had nothing new with 702 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,319 Speaker 1: her boyfriend, nothing, There was no This wasn't a crime 703 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,439 Speaker 1: of passion, lover squirrel, any of that, Which makes sense 704 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: now when you think about Okay. You know, if if 705 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 1: you're really angry your boyfriend or your girlfriend, and you'd 706 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 1: make the horrible decision you're gonna be violent about it, 707 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 1: you would think you wouldn't shoot a few people that 708 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,839 Speaker 1: just happened to be standing nearby. So just in our 709 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:26,879 Speaker 1: in our analysis of this afters I say we raised 710 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: that question. I think it was an important one to raise. 711 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: That just didn't make sense. This didn't make sense, and 712 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,319 Speaker 1: now we know she was trying to kill as many 713 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: people as possible. It is um something of a miracle, 714 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,359 Speaker 1: I think, given that she got into the facility, had 715 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 1: a loaded weapon. Actually never it was a handgun, right, 716 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,760 Speaker 1: I never saw I mean I'm assuming it's a handgun, 717 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: uh so, and managed to get off a whole bunch 718 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:53,319 Speaker 1: of rounds, didn't kill anybody, and shot herself. This this 719 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:54,880 Speaker 1: is one of these times where you can say this 720 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: could have been a lot worse. It could have been 721 00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,040 Speaker 1: a lot worse. Um, But there is also an this 722 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 1: is just from the media coverage angle this and that 723 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:03,399 Speaker 1: way we can move past this. I don't think there's 724 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: a lot to say on this. I just wanted to 725 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:09,840 Speaker 1: follow up and close a loop from yesterday. The interest. 726 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,479 Speaker 1: The interest level from the media kept changing depending on 727 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 1: what they thought. You know what was it? Was it 728 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,399 Speaker 1: an assault rifle? Though it was a pistol. Okay, well 729 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,720 Speaker 1: that's not as there are a whole bunch of different 730 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,759 Speaker 1: outlets that that doesn't fit into the narrative that they 731 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 1: could run with, right, I say, it's a it was 732 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,399 Speaker 1: a white woman. I saw that being reported a lot, 733 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: as though I don't know is that that that's an 734 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 1: important detail for some media outlets. But then we find out, well, 735 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,359 Speaker 1: she's Iranian, and then you get into well is that 736 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 1: now is that now considered? Do we not distinguished? Because 737 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that there will be lots of folks 738 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: of Middle Eastern descent which is Irani. Now remember it's 739 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 1: not Arab, Persian or you know, Farsi speaking Iran. I 740 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 1: saw some of that on Twitter. People say, well, she's 741 00:43:55,440 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 1: actually Arab, No, no, not that's not true. Um she's Persian, 742 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 1: or you can says she's Iranian of Iranian descent. But 743 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 1: you just see the way that there was It was 744 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,720 Speaker 1: like all in coverage for a little bit from something, 745 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,319 Speaker 1: and then it kind of went away, and then a 746 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 1: lot of coverage and then it kind of went away, 747 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 1: and at the end of the day, it's it was 748 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 1: it's tough for the left to make much of a 749 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: of a narrative storyline that pushes an agenda out of 750 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:33,320 Speaker 1: vegan amateur bodybuilder, YouTube video maker of Iranian extraction who 751 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: is angry for her movie, her movies being demonetized on 752 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:41,759 Speaker 1: YouTube that that doesn't really and they don't really know 753 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 1: what to how to package that one to push an agendas. 754 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,440 Speaker 1: I'll trying to say, that's kind of it's kind of 755 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 1: wacko stuff. And so that's what I got for you 756 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,320 Speaker 1: on the youth, wacko stuff. That's really the the bottom 757 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 1: line up front here. And with that, I want to 758 00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 1: come back to you and talk a bit more about 759 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,920 Speaker 1: I'll talk a bit about, uh, the spat between Well, 760 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 1: you got a couple of spats, multiple spats. You've got 761 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:11,479 Speaker 1: the US and China, which is putting some people on edge. 762 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 1: We'll get into that over tariffs and what we're gonna 763 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: do on trade and what a responses should be. And 764 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 1: and then also what was the other spat. I'm I'm 765 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,480 Speaker 1: totally blanking what was it? Yeah, I can't remember, no, 766 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:30,880 Speaker 1: what Amazon? Thank you? I completely space there for a second. 767 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,279 Speaker 1: See you got your like my you guys are like 768 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,560 Speaker 1: my Alexa, you know, my my freedom HUT team. You're like, 769 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 1: you know, fuck, you should not forget things. That's right, 770 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,920 Speaker 1: I should not eight four four to five. You want 771 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 1: to chat, let's do it and uh, we'll be back 772 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:56,799 Speaker 1: in a few We're going through the review period. We're 773 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,480 Speaker 1: very lucky that we have the best negotiator at the table, 774 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,600 Speaker 1: in the pre resident, and we're gonna go through that process. 775 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,319 Speaker 1: It will be a couple of months before tariffs on 776 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:08,799 Speaker 1: either side would go into effect and be implemented, and 777 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 1: we're hopeful that China will do the right thing. Look, 778 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 1: China created this problem, not President Trump. But we finally 779 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: actually have a president who's willing to stand up and 780 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: say enough is enough. We're gonna stop the unfair trade practices. 781 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 1: We're asking China to stop unfair trade practices, and we're 782 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,400 Speaker 1: gonna work through that process over the next couple of months. 783 00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 1: Lame China, not President Trump, because they've been going on 784 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 1: for many years. Trump is really the first president to 785 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: fight back and to put a shot across the bow. 786 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 1: It's still in intellectual property rights, technology transfers high barriers 787 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:50,319 Speaker 1: investment limitations, high tariffs. This stuff is really um not 788 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 1: just unfair, it's unlawful. It's outside the boundaries of the 789 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 1: w t O. Every country in the world knows this, 790 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,000 Speaker 1: Every analyst knows this is the case. Somebody's got to 791 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 1: deal with that. President Trump is going to deal with it. 792 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of tariffs. I'm a free trader 793 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 1: by large, but I think the President is completely right 794 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 1: to take these actions. I gotta say, the thinking on 795 00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,960 Speaker 1: this is changing, folks, isn't it. I'm not saying everybody, 796 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,399 Speaker 1: I'm not saying entirely, but remember when just a few weeks, 797 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, tariffs terrible. Okay, Well, he's not putting 798 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,040 Speaker 1: tariffs up just because he thinks that it's going to 799 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:32,400 Speaker 1: create some flourishing domestic industrial capacity that we didn't have before, 800 00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 1: although that might happen in some industries a little bit 801 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 1: in some ways. But this is a means of dealing 802 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:47,799 Speaker 1: with Chinese malfeasance in the area of trade, and I 803 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,160 Speaker 1: just it's such a you know, you the same way 804 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 1: on immigration. I try to ask very basic questions and 805 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:56,200 Speaker 1: then get into the details. You start with the very 806 00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 1: basic questions of dealing with China, and why we would 807 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 1: put tariffs in place like okay, so is the answer 808 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,319 Speaker 1: that China gets to do whatever it wants. China can 809 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 1: do anything that it thinks is in its economic interest 810 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,800 Speaker 1: visa e. The United States. If China wants to steal 811 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,360 Speaker 1: our stuff, go for it. China wants to steal a 812 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,799 Speaker 1: intelectual property, have at it. They want to they want 813 00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,960 Speaker 1: to protect certain industries that they're trying to give a 814 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 1: bigger market share too by putting in their own tariffs. Fine, 815 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: and what do we do nothing? We just go, oh, gosh, 816 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:34,120 Speaker 1: you're not China. Yeah that really Yeah, there taking taking 817 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:35,920 Speaker 1: a rough flame with this on this stuff. You know, 818 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:40,800 Speaker 1: it's just shame Trump is doing something. He's taking action 819 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,919 Speaker 1: the administration to saying that they are going to put 820 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 1: in place more te specifically targeting the theft of an 821 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,759 Speaker 1: electoral property, which is, as I have been telling you, 822 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:56,279 Speaker 1: is among the biggest problems we face going forward, not 823 00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:00,120 Speaker 1: just economically speaking, but also it's it's good we're as 824 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 1: it's a problem militarily. That see's a problem militarily. There's 825 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,680 Speaker 1: been all kinds of Remember there's the theft that there 826 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 1: there are different tiers of of espionage and intellectual property 827 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:18,560 Speaker 1: theft that go on. There's what you hear about and 828 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,360 Speaker 1: the government knows about. Right, those are the things that 829 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,320 Speaker 1: make their way into the headlines. You know, those Chinese 830 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:28,279 Speaker 1: company it is UH suspected of having stolen sensitive US 831 00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,560 Speaker 1: not or you know, individual and custody for passing secrets 832 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:36,160 Speaker 1: to China. You'll have that. There's what happens that the 833 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 1: public doesn't know about, but the government knows about. And 834 00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,040 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a lot of that in the cyber realm. 835 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:43,959 Speaker 1: I don't really want to tell people what's going on there. 836 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 1: You don't, but we don't really get to know what 837 00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:50,120 Speaker 1: the government knows, especially in the realm of cyber and 838 00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,000 Speaker 1: and that's a lot. And then you add to that 839 00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,759 Speaker 1: another whole level of what we don't know and our 840 00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,840 Speaker 1: government doesn't know. And once you put all those layers 841 00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,720 Speaker 1: to other, there's a lot of stuff that has been 842 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,160 Speaker 1: taken from this country and used for the advantage of 843 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,960 Speaker 1: the Chinese state and the Chinese economy and the Chinese military. 844 00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 1: And what have we done? You know, you'll notice how 845 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,160 Speaker 1: the same press courts that's always saying all he's not 846 00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:20,320 Speaker 1: doing enough about Russia. Why doesn't he do more about Russia, 847 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,080 Speaker 1: more sanctions, more And I'm just saying there's reports out 848 00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,799 Speaker 1: as we went on air that there may be sanctions 849 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 1: for um Russian oligarchs coming up to the administration might 850 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 1: do even more against Russia that it's already done, which 851 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:38,880 Speaker 1: is much more than Obama did. But they're so willing 852 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 1: to antagonize the Russian state for doing things that, while 853 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:47,879 Speaker 1: we don't like, don't really affect us. It doesn't really 854 00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,560 Speaker 1: matter all that much to you and me and what 855 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:54,040 Speaker 1: happens in our lives and our kids lives, your kids lives, 856 00:50:54,040 --> 00:51:00,120 Speaker 1: but you know our American kids lives. What China is 857 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,040 Speaker 1: doing affects you. You may work for, In fact, you 858 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,759 Speaker 1: very well uh do work for a company that at 859 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,880 Speaker 1: least competes with Chinese companies. You may you may be 860 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 1: working for a company that you know or you don't know, 861 00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,960 Speaker 1: has been this subject of hacking efforts from China steal 862 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,920 Speaker 1: your data, steal information, steal even more. Who knows that 863 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:25,239 Speaker 1: really affects you and and any actions taken that address 864 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 1: that are considered to be reckless and irresponsible And how 865 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:35,520 Speaker 1: could Trump do this? And it's so terrible. Well, the 866 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,319 Speaker 1: other option is just to let the Chinese do whatever 867 00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:43,840 Speaker 1: they want, continue to flout the fun word. You know, 868 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 1: you really you say that if you say flout, you 869 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,879 Speaker 1: feel a little fancy. But it's different than being say 870 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,279 Speaker 1: a floutist. You see, you see what I did there, 871 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,600 Speaker 1: But you know you you see how the global opinion 872 00:51:55,719 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 1: is all quite settled on China. There's really no such 873 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:04,920 Speaker 1: thing as global opinion, right, but the international communities leadership 874 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,560 Speaker 1: there you go, that's a term that we can use, 875 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:11,880 Speaker 1: is settled on China engaged in bad behavior. And what 876 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,080 Speaker 1: do we do in response? Nothing. China is the top 877 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:20,560 Speaker 1: trading partner for uh tons of countries. I mean, I 878 00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:22,399 Speaker 1: think if you if you actually look at a list 879 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,000 Speaker 1: of countries, China is at least in the top ten 880 00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,759 Speaker 1: trading partners for almost every country on Earth. I don't 881 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,920 Speaker 1: I don't know where micro Nesia is getting most of 882 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,240 Speaker 1: its stuff these days. But like all the major countries 883 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:39,680 Speaker 1: out there, you know, sorry San Marino um, but all 884 00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,319 Speaker 1: the major companies out there, companies countries, uh, they're doing 885 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,520 Speaker 1: a lot of business with China. So that also affects 886 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 1: this too. The China there's a little bit of a 887 00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 1: of an implied bullying here for a lot, or not 888 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: even just implied. There's a little bit of bullying that 889 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:58,479 Speaker 1: goes on from the Chinese government against countries that don't 890 00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:00,319 Speaker 1: have the ability to push back. So if we don't 891 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:04,400 Speaker 1: do it, who's going to? But like I said, you 892 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,560 Speaker 1: start with the very simple questions, what if if not tariffs? 893 00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:11,759 Speaker 1: What's the response suffering silence? Let the Chinese government do 894 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,200 Speaker 1: what it wants. That seems to be a bad idea. 895 00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 1: It seems to me like we should probably find ways 896 00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:23,879 Speaker 1: to at least go beyond expressing the occasional bit of displeasure. Here. 897 00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 1: We've got some calls in and I haven't taken many today, 898 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 1: and I'd like to hear from all of you. So 899 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,800 Speaker 1: let's go to Karen in Michigan. What's up, Karen, Hey Box, 900 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,839 Speaker 1: how are you? I'm good? Thank you for your call. 901 00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,279 Speaker 1: So I don't have anything like profound to say, like 902 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,480 Speaker 1: a lot of these guys are calling about, you know, 903 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,560 Speaker 1: the strategies in China or anything. But um, I had 904 00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 1: two things. The quick thing is, the issue with the 905 00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:50,240 Speaker 1: immigrants has the making of a really great seventies movies. 906 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,560 Speaker 1: The military goes down there too. The bad guys you 907 00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,560 Speaker 1: know all those movies were like that. And the other 908 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,279 Speaker 1: thing I wanted to say quick was the story of 909 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:02,799 Speaker 1: this woman. The shooter Um reminds me so much of 910 00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 1: that story about the Lady Um and it's done a 911 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,279 Speaker 1: while back. I think she worked for NASA. She was 912 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,319 Speaker 1: like an astronaut and she drove with a diaper on 913 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,400 Speaker 1: like for eight hours to uh with the woman or 914 00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:18,000 Speaker 1: because she had like a lover's quarrel and yeah right, 915 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:19,799 Speaker 1: and she had she had like duct tape in the 916 00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:24,000 Speaker 1: trunk of the car and weapons. It's just like I said, Okay, 917 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:29,799 Speaker 1: these are accomplished, intelligent people. What is going on even 918 00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:31,879 Speaker 1: this one. I don't know if this woman was accomplished. 919 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,520 Speaker 1: I but but I hear what you're saying. I think 920 00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:36,759 Speaker 1: that might be given her a little I've been too 921 00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:40,040 Speaker 1: much credit. I think the slope dips after a while. 922 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,640 Speaker 1: But she was educated. And it just strikes me so 923 00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:44,840 Speaker 1: odd that somebody would go to school and work so 924 00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,000 Speaker 1: hard for a job and you know, get a career, 925 00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:52,000 Speaker 1: and then drive eight hours and the diaper to kill 926 00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:56,200 Speaker 1: your lover's fat person. It just seems bizarre, and it 927 00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:59,040 Speaker 1: is definitely bizarre. Karen, I ap appreciate you shields. I 928 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 1: thank you for calling her from a sign. Oh, there's 929 00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,440 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. When you just I don't care 930 00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,640 Speaker 1: what line of work you're in. If you decide it's 931 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,440 Speaker 1: time to strap on a diaper because you're not gonna 932 00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:09,000 Speaker 1: you don't want to waste time and you don't want 933 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,520 Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom, that's dedication. So whatever the 934 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:14,839 Speaker 1: task at hand, maybe when you're like, you know what 935 00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:18,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna Yeah, I mean, like, how many of us? 936 00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,640 Speaker 1: How many of us have you gonna long long drive? 937 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,799 Speaker 1: You know, maybe maybe you had a bottle of a 938 00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:28,680 Speaker 1: bottle of sanka. Do they still make that, by the way, 939 00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:32,120 Speaker 1: Yeah they do. There's really And then I always yelled 940 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:33,560 Speaker 1: because I say, it's what do they they call it 941 00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,480 Speaker 1: pop in the south or that you know, you got 942 00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,120 Speaker 1: all these weird terms the rest of the country. We 943 00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,400 Speaker 1: just call it soda here in New York, But I 944 00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:41,880 Speaker 1: think pop, right, But you know, you got an empty bottle. 945 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:44,680 Speaker 1: You know, what what are you gonna do with that bottle? 946 00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,120 Speaker 1: Long car? Drive? You you really want to have to 947 00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:51,440 Speaker 1: pull over into the I'm just saying, people become you know, 948 00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,400 Speaker 1: this necessity is the mother of invention, and people become 949 00:55:54,520 --> 00:56:00,000 Speaker 1: very uh what's the word of looking in there's ingineusite 950 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,360 Speaker 1: tea at work in long rides, sometimes involving empty bottles 951 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:07,280 Speaker 1: and whatever else you got. So let's talk about Amazon. 952 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:21,279 Speaker 1: Coming right up, he's holding the line for America buck 953 00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 1: sex in his back. The post Office is losing billions 954 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,440 Speaker 1: of dollars and the taxpayers are paying for them money 955 00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:33,120 Speaker 1: because it delivers packages for Amazon at a very below cost. 956 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,200 Speaker 1: And that's not fair to the United States. It's not 957 00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,759 Speaker 1: fair to our taxpayers. And Amazon has the money to 958 00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,160 Speaker 1: pay the fair rate at the post Office, which would 959 00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,680 Speaker 1: be much more than their paying right now. But if 960 00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:48,080 Speaker 1: you look at the cost that we're subsidizing, we're giving 961 00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:52,120 Speaker 1: a subsidy to Amazon, and we're talking about billions of 962 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,279 Speaker 1: dollars a year the real costs. And a report just 963 00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:59,080 Speaker 1: came out they said a dollar forty seven, I believe, 964 00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,320 Speaker 1: or about that for every time they deliver a package. 965 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,000 Speaker 1: The United States government, meaning the Post Office, loses a 966 00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,560 Speaker 1: dollar forty seven. So Amazon is gonna have to pay 967 00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:11,719 Speaker 1: much more money to the Post Office. There's no doubt 968 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:19,400 Speaker 1: about that. President Trump going after Amazon big lee. And 969 00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:21,320 Speaker 1: you know, I'm a little I'm a little torn here. 970 00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:28,480 Speaker 1: Because Amazon does so much for me, it has made 971 00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:31,880 Speaker 1: me so lazy that now the thought of actually like 972 00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:41,720 Speaker 1: having to go to the corner to buy toilet paper, milk, toothpaste, 973 00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,360 Speaker 1: I just expect it all to be waiting for me now, 974 00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,000 Speaker 1: and a little box when I get home to my 975 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,560 Speaker 1: h to my home, I just expected to be there. 976 00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,760 Speaker 1: And whenever I actually have to go to a store 977 00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,840 Speaker 1: now to get something, I find myself thinking, can I 978 00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:00,400 Speaker 1: just get this on Amazon? If the answer is yes, 979 00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,200 Speaker 1: I can order it with my phone it is. It 980 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:08,640 Speaker 1: makes me, uh well, supremely lazy, but also the conveniences 981 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:13,200 Speaker 1: is incredible. Now. When I moved into an apartment this 982 00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,440 Speaker 1: this year, what was it a year ago? Almost a 983 00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:20,640 Speaker 1: year ago? Now, I think I bought of what was 984 00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,280 Speaker 1: in the apartment, including furniture and everything on it. Now. 985 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,400 Speaker 1: Obviously I'm not much of an interior decorator. I'moun a 986 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:28,840 Speaker 1: fancy guy, but it all came from Amazon. Amazon amazing, 987 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:31,960 Speaker 1: you get anything. I love Amazon also because you can 988 00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,200 Speaker 1: even type in things that aren't a thing and will 989 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:37,439 Speaker 1: find it for you. You're like, I need the thing 990 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,560 Speaker 1: that attaches to the bottom of the table where I 991 00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,880 Speaker 1: can put the thing that looks at the and you're like, oh, 992 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,360 Speaker 1: it's a it's a thing. I'm a Bob and I 993 00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:50,120 Speaker 1: can get it from and it'll be delivered in a day. 994 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:54,840 Speaker 1: I love getting a Thingamabob's. I've had that experience many tests. 995 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,200 Speaker 1: So Amazon is incredible. Is the reason that Jeff Bezos 996 00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:03,320 Speaker 1: is worth eighty billion dollars. But you know, if Trump, 997 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,480 Speaker 1: if what Trump is saying is true, that they're getting 998 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:09,960 Speaker 1: a ride on the post Office's coattails, that's something that 999 00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:14,160 Speaker 1: certainly needs to be looked at. And I've seen Pete. Look, 1000 00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,440 Speaker 1: I don't know enough. The Post Office loses money, as 1001 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,200 Speaker 1: we all know, so would it would it surprise any 1002 00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:20,840 Speaker 1: of us if the Post Office was doing all this 1003 00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:24,160 Speaker 1: stuff for Amazon They're like, well, we'll lose money per package, 1004 00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:27,920 Speaker 1: but we'll make it up on volume. Um, it wouldn't 1005 00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:32,880 Speaker 1: surprise me at all. That said, you know, that's something 1006 00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 1: that Post Office, federal government they should probably handle that, right. 1007 00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:39,480 Speaker 1: Speaking of the federal government, on the tax side of 1008 00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:44,360 Speaker 1: the equation, truth here is that I I'm sure that 1009 00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:49,280 Speaker 1: Amazon has all kinds of cool tax breaks and loopholes, 1010 00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,800 Speaker 1: probably along the lines of what General Electric, which is 1011 00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:57,640 Speaker 1: the company that's in rough shape. General Electric had some 1012 00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:02,560 Speaker 1: years ago where it paid think it was zero zero 1013 01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:07,560 Speaker 1: and zero tax on its on its revenue. Zero. How 1014 01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:10,080 Speaker 1: is that? Oh? A lot, a lot of very complicated 1015 01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:14,120 Speaker 1: financial engineering by the accountants. But by the way, I 1016 01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:15,360 Speaker 1: would like to get I would like to get a 1017 01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,680 Speaker 1: team of accounts that could help me somehow have zero 1018 01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:21,240 Speaker 1: in pay zero taxes. Right, A company can do it, 1019 01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:25,360 Speaker 1: Why can't an individual? I thought corporations are people? Aren't 1020 01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:30,640 Speaker 1: people corporations? Uh so, I agree that's a problem. But 1021 01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,880 Speaker 1: this is also a bigger problem, and that is we've 1022 01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:36,120 Speaker 1: got some tax cuts. Great, and they're a good thing. 1023 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,880 Speaker 1: They're also very standard for the GOP. There's nothing about 1024 01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:43,240 Speaker 1: these tax cuts that's really ah blowing my mind. But 1025 01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:48,600 Speaker 1: I would like to see Trump, while he still has 1026 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:52,240 Speaker 1: the time to push issues like this, talk about a 1027 01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:55,200 Speaker 1: fair tax or a flat tax. I'll take either. People say, buck, 1028 01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:57,000 Speaker 1: do you have a preference? I don't really just give 1029 01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,800 Speaker 1: me one or the other. As long as the tax 1030 01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,680 Speaker 1: code and this is probably a pretty good time to 1031 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:04,320 Speaker 1: talking about this, folks, considering that tax days, you know, 1032 01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:08,600 Speaker 1: in a week and change. As long as the I R. 1033 01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:14,120 Speaker 1: S Code is seventy thousand plus pages. There will be 1034 01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:20,040 Speaker 1: all kinds of chicanery. Do you like that good good 1035 01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:23,560 Speaker 1: word I use? He uses the good words he does. 1036 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:27,800 Speaker 1: He does. Doesn't know how many presidents are from Ohio, 1037 01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,280 Speaker 1: but I'll get to that later. Yeah, I know I 1038 01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,160 Speaker 1: mess that. People were like Buck, come on, man, weak sauce. 1039 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 1: It was very It's Jay either three hours of live 1040 01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,840 Speaker 1: radio at the time. You gotta gusual you're gonna run 1041 01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,960 Speaker 1: into some some stuff. You know you're gonna step in it. 1042 01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:44,400 Speaker 1: And with that one, my bad, Ohio you got you 1043 01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:46,120 Speaker 1: gotta got lots of presidents. I'll talk about that then 1044 01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,600 Speaker 1: later on. There's so many messages came in on that 1045 01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,160 Speaker 1: in the roll call. Trust me, we'll get to it. Um. 1046 01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:55,720 Speaker 1: So on Amazon. If it's a tax issue, that's where 1047 01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:57,560 Speaker 1: the Congress has to step in and actually do something. 1048 01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,840 Speaker 1: But Congress doesn't want to. I'll let you in a 1049 01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,080 Speaker 1: secret that you already know. Congress doesn't want to make 1050 01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:06,640 Speaker 1: a tax code that's transparent, that's fair, that's clear. Now, 1051 01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,560 Speaker 1: how are they gonna how are they gonna be powerful? 1052 01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 1: How are they going to keep their jobs their prerogatives? Um, 1053 01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:20,480 Speaker 1: what are they going to do if they can't create 1054 01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:22,360 Speaker 1: carve outs in the tax code for people in the 1055 01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:25,640 Speaker 1: answer is, that's why they don't want to do it. 1056 01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:28,280 Speaker 1: That's why we're not going to get a fair tax 1057 01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:32,080 Speaker 1: of flat tax. And that's a great frustration because if 1058 01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:35,760 Speaker 1: you have powerful interests that are able to lobby Congress 1059 01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:38,880 Speaker 1: for their own giveaways and tax brace everything else, it's 1060 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:44,120 Speaker 1: going to continue and continue. Is Amazon a problem, We'll see. Look, 1061 01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,200 Speaker 1: Walmart's getting very big in the digital space now too. 1062 01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:50,360 Speaker 1: You know that there's there's competition, right, it's just Amazon's. 1063 01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:56,880 Speaker 1: Amazon's also annoying to Trump, I think because it is, 1064 01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:01,400 Speaker 1: as he calls it, the Amazon Washington Post. There's a 1065 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:05,760 Speaker 1: reason that Mr Bezos wanted what is I think the 1066 01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:09,000 Speaker 1: second favorite paper of liberals in this country. You pay 1067 01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:12,439 Speaker 1: two U fifty million dollars for it, which Bezos has 1068 01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:16,960 Speaker 1: in his couch cushions. And we can't think for a 1069 01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:21,800 Speaker 1: second that that doesn't influence There's no way, right, people say, oh, 1070 01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:25,320 Speaker 1: but buck, then no one at Amazon actually gives directives 1071 01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:29,000 Speaker 1: the Washington Post that they should cover things. Yeah, but 1072 01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:32,400 Speaker 1: people at the Washington Post certainly no Amazon writes the 1073 01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:37,880 Speaker 1: checks here. The Washington Post is, for all intents and purposes, 1074 01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:40,840 Speaker 1: when it comes to the way they cover things related 1075 01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:45,720 Speaker 1: to Amazon and Business a subsidiary of Amazon. Okay, I 1076 01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 1: know that freak out if they heard me say that, 1077 01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:49,840 Speaker 1: or they'd be like, who is this guy with the 1078 01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:53,200 Speaker 1: poofy hair and the big voice and a huge head um. 1079 01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,160 Speaker 1: But that's that's the reality of it, that's the truth. 1080 01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,240 Speaker 1: So well, I's about to see. We'll see if Trump 1081 01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,680 Speaker 1: can continue, and I'm most surprised. But I do love 1082 01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:03,760 Speaker 1: it when I can get my thing of a bob 1083 01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,200 Speaker 1: delivered free of charge in twenty four hours and I 1084 01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:08,800 Speaker 1: don't have to get I just stay in sweats all day. 1085 01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:13,680 Speaker 1: All my consumer needs basically met via via Amazon these days, 1086 01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,840 Speaker 1: so that's kind of fun. I like that part of it. Oh, 1087 01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,840 Speaker 1: we've got to talk about Mueller and the probe. We 1088 01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,080 Speaker 1: are joined by a legal expert, our friend and the 1089 01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:27,880 Speaker 1: Campania with that up next. The biggest development I thought 1090 01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:29,920 Speaker 1: in the last couple of days is that it's now 1091 01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,040 Speaker 1: obvious that Mueller thinks and he's wrong, that he thinks 1092 01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:36,520 Speaker 1: collusion is a crime. In his memo, he talks about 1093 01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:41,040 Speaker 1: colluding with the Russians or collusion as a crime against 1094 01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,480 Speaker 1: the federal government. I want to issue a challenge to 1095 01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:47,960 Speaker 1: him right now, I challenge Special Counsel Mueller to cite 1096 01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:51,840 Speaker 1: the statute or the case, or the source or any 1097 01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:56,320 Speaker 1: legal information that would make collusion or colluding with Russia 1098 01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:58,880 Speaker 1: a crime. He's not going to be able to find, 1099 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,640 Speaker 1: are you? Why do you there? He had Professor Dershowitz, 1100 01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:06,720 Speaker 1: the dirsh he was on actually right before me today 1101 01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:08,560 Speaker 1: over at Fox News. I was answered, I was hanging 1102 01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:12,160 Speaker 1: out with my my main man hammer and uh, we 1103 01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:14,760 Speaker 1: had a good time talking about spying stuff in d C. 1104 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:20,080 Speaker 1: But before that, sure enough, we had uh, we had 1105 01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:22,840 Speaker 1: Professor dirsch Woods and he was saying, collusion is not 1106 01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,080 Speaker 1: a crime. But we have our own legal expert here, 1107 01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,680 Speaker 1: our freedom Hunt legal expert. That's right. Emily Campanio is 1108 01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,760 Speaker 1: with us now. You can follow her on Twitter at 1109 01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:34,880 Speaker 1: Emily Campanio, and she's a lawyer, legal analyst. She knows 1110 01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:36,840 Speaker 1: about all these things, and she's with us. Emily, thank 1111 01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:41,960 Speaker 1: you so much for calling in, Thanks for having appreciate it. So, uh, 1112 01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:46,120 Speaker 1: what do you think about this collusion issue raised or 1113 01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:47,960 Speaker 1: that that dirsch Witz is addressing here, we're saying that 1114 01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:51,840 Speaker 1: Mueller now it seems to be acting under the premise 1115 01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:55,120 Speaker 1: that collusion is a crime, and as Professor Dirshwoods points out, 1116 01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:58,360 Speaker 1: this is pretty straightforward. It either exists in criminal statute 1117 01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:01,760 Speaker 1: or does it right, He's absolutely correct, and you know 1118 01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:04,720 Speaker 1: what it is. You could argue semantics, but obviously in 1119 01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:08,880 Speaker 1: the eyes of the law, semantics matters. What is against 1120 01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:14,000 Speaker 1: the law is conspiracy, right, or concerted activity towards violating 1121 01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,560 Speaker 1: a federal statute. That's what you can prove, and that 1122 01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:20,360 Speaker 1: is what we can find in the federal in criminal 1123 01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,280 Speaker 1: law right, federal antitate. Um, So there's no there's no 1124 01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,800 Speaker 1: collusion against the law. And so I think what what 1125 01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:30,200 Speaker 1: Alander's wits is sing rightly so is just get your 1126 01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,160 Speaker 1: facts straight, get your words straight. And unfortunately, what that 1127 01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,400 Speaker 1: does is create this currency and this narrative that now 1128 01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:39,800 Speaker 1: everyone is talking about. But really it's inaccurate and it 1129 01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:44,560 Speaker 1: doesn't do anyone good to think that they know either 1130 01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:48,080 Speaker 1: what is the point of the investigation or what he's 1131 01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:51,480 Speaker 1: really looking for. When frankly, again jurch Wiz is right, 1132 01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,200 Speaker 1: there's no such thing as collusion being against the law. 1133 01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:59,120 Speaker 1: So again it's conspiracy or concerted activity towards violating a 1134 01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:03,640 Speaker 1: federal statute, and that federal statute would not be quote unquote, Emily, 1135 01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:05,720 Speaker 1: why is it that you? Why do you think and 1136 01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:08,960 Speaker 1: I'm asking you to surmise here because you can't know, 1137 01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:11,720 Speaker 1: But why do you think that they don't just say 1138 01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:15,280 Speaker 1: that they're investigating conspiracy? Right? Wouldn't that be much more 1139 01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,960 Speaker 1: clear and much more straightforward, because to me, it suggests 1140 01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,080 Speaker 1: that collusion could be just whatever people wanted to be. 1141 01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:26,320 Speaker 1: It could be essentially a political charge without it actually 1142 01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,520 Speaker 1: being a criminal charge. Do you do you have any 1143 01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 1: sense of why not you say the look at a conspiracy? 1144 01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:34,760 Speaker 1: The only argument I could make for that as a 1145 01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:38,360 Speaker 1: strategy is goes back to actually the issue with it, 1146 01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:40,640 Speaker 1: which is the fact that it's kind of this colloquial 1147 01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:44,760 Speaker 1: umbrella term that has no actual legal definition. And so 1148 01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:48,520 Speaker 1: perhaps that is purposeful in that it enables the investigation 1149 01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:52,480 Speaker 1: to from under that rubric of quote unquote collusion, find 1150 01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:58,880 Speaker 1: specific charges or statutes that alleged behavior has um has 1151 01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:02,360 Speaker 1: infringed upon ours, has been done toward right, Meaning it 1152 01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:06,480 Speaker 1: basically says, look, we are investigating this big broad term 1153 01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:10,000 Speaker 1: under which a lot of specific crimes could fall under, 1154 01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:13,640 Speaker 1: or specific target could fall under. And that's why it 1155 01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:16,360 Speaker 1: creates a broader stroke that we can then paint with. 1156 01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:20,080 Speaker 1: So that would be the only argument strategically that I see, 1157 01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:24,200 Speaker 1: because definitely it's inaccurate, overbroad, and again not in the 1158 01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,559 Speaker 1: criminal system. I want to continue with our trend here 1159 01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:31,800 Speaker 1: of having an Emily Campanio analyze the dirshes analysis. So 1160 01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:34,400 Speaker 1: please play clip two. He has to be a subject, 1161 01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,519 Speaker 1: not a target before the Justice Department can ask him 1162 01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:42,080 Speaker 1: to uh testify. Generally, the Justice Department does not ask 1163 01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:45,160 Speaker 1: targets to testify because if you're a target, that means 1164 01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:49,000 Speaker 1: you're going to be prosecuted. And uh so telling him 1165 01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,800 Speaker 1: he's a subject is just another way of saying, we 1166 01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:54,160 Speaker 1: want you to testify. We're gonna subpoenea you in front 1167 01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:56,360 Speaker 1: of the grand jury if we can't make a deal 1168 01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:00,800 Speaker 1: with you. Um it's it's a magic cold word. It's 1169 01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,200 Speaker 1: just a way of saying, you have no excuse not 1170 01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:06,840 Speaker 1: to testify because you're not a target. You're just a subjection. 1171 01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:09,200 Speaker 1: So what can you tell us about this a target, 1172 01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:14,200 Speaker 1: person of interest, subject, witness, suspect, all these different terms, 1173 01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,640 Speaker 1: target and subject? What's the difference here that we need 1174 01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:20,840 Speaker 1: to know about? Right? First of all, I agree with 1175 01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,040 Speaker 1: the dirt as you call them, just so funny, and 1176 01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:26,640 Speaker 1: I think of it as a spectrum, dear listeners, and 1177 01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:30,760 Speaker 1: it's a target is on one end, and again is 1178 01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:35,200 Speaker 1: correct where it's it's someone that investigators have substantial evidence 1179 01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:38,560 Speaker 1: that ties them to a crime and who is a 1180 01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:41,400 Speaker 1: putative defendant, which means they are likely to face charges. 1181 01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:43,560 Speaker 1: So that's one end of the spectrum. And then on 1182 01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:45,479 Speaker 1: the other end of the spectrum would be you know, 1183 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,360 Speaker 1: you just mentioned a witness, right, so that would be 1184 01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:51,320 Speaker 1: someone that an investigator wants to talk to, you know, 1185 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:54,439 Speaker 1: likely has information, maybe doesn't UM, but they are not 1186 01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:57,560 Speaker 1: specifically investigating that particular person. That's why they would be 1187 01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,360 Speaker 1: a witnessed. And then in the middle, it's would be 1188 01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:03,639 Speaker 1: the subject, and that is someone whose conduct is within 1189 01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:06,439 Speaker 1: the scope of that investigation. You know, it's it's basically 1190 01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:11,160 Speaker 1: someone UM who's under scrutiny. And it also means that 1191 01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:14,519 Speaker 1: someone who is a subject can very easily become a 1192 01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:19,439 Speaker 1: target after said interview that you just mentioned, or after 1193 01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:23,280 Speaker 1: uncovering you know, more evidence, or they can be put 1194 01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:25,920 Speaker 1: up the spectrum back to simple witness. If look, here's 1195 01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:28,519 Speaker 1: here's what they told us, and it all checks out 1196 01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,040 Speaker 1: and they're they're simply a witness. May has given us investigation. 1197 01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:33,800 Speaker 1: They're no longer a subject. So to me, ay, I 1198 01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:37,400 Speaker 1: agree with that distinction. And the it wasn't a surprise. 1199 01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:39,240 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's been the whole point of the 1200 01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:41,599 Speaker 1: smaller investigation to begin with, right, is that we knew 1201 01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:45,320 Speaker 1: the president was a subject of it. So to me, 1202 01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:49,360 Speaker 1: this just reinforced what we already knew and then brought 1203 01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:52,080 Speaker 1: to light again these terms so that the public could 1204 01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:54,680 Speaker 1: educate themselves as to what they mean legally. Family, you've 1205 01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,559 Speaker 1: worked on a lot of a lot of cases, including 1206 01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:01,360 Speaker 1: a federal federal criminal cases in your career. Tell me 1207 01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:04,960 Speaker 1: about whether you can we get a sense as is 1208 01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:07,439 Speaker 1: the Mueller probe based on what we're hearing and seeing 1209 01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:11,519 Speaker 1: and these announcements, is it getting in the final phases here? 1210 01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:15,240 Speaker 1: Or do we have any idea about the timeline? I 1211 01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:19,320 Speaker 1: will say no amount of experience could could enable me 1212 01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:22,560 Speaker 1: to accurately gauge that, because everything is different. But I 1213 01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:25,200 Speaker 1: will say, clinically, looking at this from the beginning, we 1214 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:27,120 Speaker 1: thought it would be wrapped up within three months. Right, 1215 01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:29,360 Speaker 1: That's what Mueller has teemed specifically said, And now we're 1216 01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:33,559 Speaker 1: stretching towards a year, and it would behoove everyone involved 1217 01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:35,519 Speaker 1: in that investigation and especially in the public if it 1218 01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:38,760 Speaker 1: were wrapped up soon for a multitude of reasons, one 1219 01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:42,560 Speaker 1: being our faith in the effectiveness of the investigation and 1220 01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,719 Speaker 1: our tex dollars that are paying for it, and also 1221 01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:47,519 Speaker 1: so that we make sure that it's far away from 1222 01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:49,760 Speaker 1: the mid term elections. Right we want to make sure 1223 01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:53,080 Speaker 1: that there there isn't any more that can be brought 1224 01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:57,599 Speaker 1: to the table as arguing against election integrity or arguing 1225 01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:00,559 Speaker 1: that things have been changed or affected in some way. 1226 01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:03,240 Speaker 1: And I also feel that there's a measure of fatigue 1227 01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:05,680 Speaker 1: associated with it. Right. Um, but I will say, you know, 1228 01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:08,280 Speaker 1: going back again, it's just my experience. Oh no, I've 1229 01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:12,599 Speaker 1: seen investigations last forever and then some that wrap up quickly. 1230 01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,479 Speaker 1: So um, just for listeners, I think it could be anything. 1231 01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:17,519 Speaker 1: But again for the reasons why I stated, it would 1232 01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,280 Speaker 1: behoove them to wrap this up as soon as possible, 1233 01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:23,760 Speaker 1: and also to prevent the argument that, look, is this 1234 01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:27,240 Speaker 1: has just become or with this always a fishing expedition, 1235 01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:29,280 Speaker 1: like you know you have at some point you have 1236 01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:35,160 Speaker 1: to surrender rather than keep digging and digging digging. Emily 1237 01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:38,200 Speaker 1: compon You everyone legal analysts follow her on Twitter at 1238 01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:40,920 Speaker 1: Emily compon You and also Emily compon You dot Com 1239 01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,200 Speaker 1: is her site.

So we'll be talking about that also. 1250 01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:14,920 Speaker 1: Zombie raccoons. M hm.

So 1255 01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,160 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of debates, a lot of 1256 01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:36,280 Speaker 1: discussions out there, as you all know, about fake news. 1257 01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:40,880 Speaker 1: People keep talking about it. Trump has more than any 1258 01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:45,000 Speaker 1: figure in recent memory, held the media to account by saying, 1259 01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:49,280 Speaker 1: you know what, fake news is a real problem, and 1260 01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:51,479 Speaker 1: some of the biggest news outlets in the country are 1261 01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:54,840 Speaker 1: in fact guilty of it, either from time to time 1262 01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:59,679 Speaker 1: or sometimes some places, some organizations guilty of it a lot. 1263 01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:04,960 Speaker 1: But who should we turn to? What wise sage in 1264 01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,720 Speaker 1: the news space could we count on to let us 1265 01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:11,120 Speaker 1: know the truth fake news and how to avoid it. 1266 01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:16,200 Speaker 1: Here is a guide to protecting yourself against fake news 1267 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:21,120 Speaker 1: from Dan Rather, the King of Fake News. If you're 1268 01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:25,479 Speaker 1: really interested in identifying fake news and figuring out what 1269 01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:29,400 Speaker 1: to believe, if you're truly invested in the work of 1270 01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:33,640 Speaker 1: being a good informed citizen, May I respectfully all for 1271 01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:38,320 Speaker 1: a short number one? Lets let's pause it for a second. 1272 01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:40,880 Speaker 1: Let's pause it for a second. Here you have a 1273 01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:45,360 Speaker 1: man who belongs to an era of TV news and 1274 01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:52,599 Speaker 1: TV journalism that is is rapidly going away. And he's 1275 01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:55,080 Speaker 1: someone who didn't have the competition you have to deal 1276 01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,960 Speaker 1: with today, certainly didn't have the Internet, didn't have all 1277 01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:02,360 Speaker 1: this different stuff. He was really a glorified actor. He 1278 01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:06,120 Speaker 1: would go on television none sound like this on how 1279 01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:09,680 Speaker 1: does hair a certain way and would stare into the 1280 01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:14,960 Speaker 1: camera a certain way. Now I actually this is random 1281 01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:17,920 Speaker 1: but true. Was an intern at CBS Evening News with 1282 01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:22,719 Speaker 1: Dan Rather when I was eighteen years old. My first 1283 01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:25,240 Speaker 1: ever internship, even though I didn't think I ever wanted 1284 01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:29,440 Speaker 1: to work in media, was in media because the executive 1285 01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:31,719 Speaker 1: producer at the time was a graduate of my high school, 1286 01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:34,080 Speaker 1: and his name just was on one of these lists 1287 01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:36,559 Speaker 1: of people you reach out to if you want an internship, right, 1288 01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:38,840 Speaker 1: so I checked it out. So I was there for 1289 01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,160 Speaker 1: for Dan Rather, and I remember showing up and and 1290 01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:42,960 Speaker 1: doing all the little intern things, you know. I was 1291 01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:45,880 Speaker 1: xeroxing and running scripts, which is a fancy way of 1292 01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:48,880 Speaker 1: saying taking things off a printer and handing them the people. 1293 01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:51,200 Speaker 1: It was good at that job. I did it with 1294 01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:54,920 Speaker 1: with Gusto. But I remember thinking, this guy Dan Rather, 1295 01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:57,880 Speaker 1: he shows up every day for his I forget was 1296 01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:00,280 Speaker 1: it five thirty or I guess six thirty, Broad asked. 1297 01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:02,439 Speaker 1: He shows up every day at like three o'clock in 1298 01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:06,360 Speaker 1: the afternoon, spends about forty minutes in the makeup chair, 1299 01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:09,320 Speaker 1: making sure that everything is just so, and kind of 1300 01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:13,960 Speaker 1: just gathering and talking. Yeah, and then he sits there 1301 01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:16,400 Speaker 1: and reads the words that someone else has written for 1302 01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:19,280 Speaker 1: him off of a prompter and goes home. And he 1303 01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:21,360 Speaker 1: was making seven million dollars a year to do that 1304 01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:27,400 Speaker 1: half hour show. Folks, I sit here, unscripted, doing the 1305 01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:29,360 Speaker 1: three hour radio show for you. So let me tell 1306 01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:32,040 Speaker 1: you when I say that a half hour show is 1307 01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:36,599 Speaker 1: really really not hard on TV. I mean it, especially 1308 01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:39,479 Speaker 1: when you're not even going extemporaneous. You're not just flying 1309 01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:42,840 Speaker 1: off the cuff. You're actually just reading off of the 1310 01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:46,640 Speaker 1: teleprompter what they tell you to. But John rather sounded 1311 01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:49,559 Speaker 1: the part, looked the part. But then yeah, a little 1312 01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:53,559 Speaker 1: little boo boo, little little snaffoo. Remember the whole National 1313 01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:56,120 Speaker 1: Guard document thing with Bush where he went on air 1314 01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:59,240 Speaker 1: with forged documents that could have changed the course of 1315 01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:03,640 Speaker 1: a presidential election. That was in fact fake news. And 1316 01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:07,479 Speaker 1: I would argue among the fakest of fake news moments 1317 01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:09,880 Speaker 1: that our media has ever dealt with. And I think 1318 01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:14,280 Speaker 1: there's just a particular hubris of having the king of 1319 01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:18,360 Speaker 1: fake news himself trying to tell this just was went 1320 01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:20,679 Speaker 1: out today, right, I'm not pulling something from the vault 1321 01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:24,200 Speaker 1: from years ago. He's out there trying to inform Americans 1322 01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:27,720 Speaker 1: about fake news out And since he's doing that, why 1323 01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:30,320 Speaker 1: don't we hear a little more saying that trusting a 1324 01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:34,120 Speaker 1: news outlet does not mean they're perfect. No one's perfect. 1325 01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:38,200 Speaker 1: It means they tell you when they screw up. Number two. 1326 01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:44,320 Speaker 1: Don't rely on just one news outlet. Number three, don't 1327 01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:48,759 Speaker 1: rely on just the news to understand an issue. Read books, 1328 01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:53,640 Speaker 1: find the experts, find out how issues are discussed outside 1329 01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,040 Speaker 1: of news. All right, So what do you have here 1330 01:17:56,840 --> 01:18:04,720 Speaker 1: is essentially condescending pompous Mr Rogers, That's what's going on. 1331 01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:08,840 Speaker 1: Condescending pompous Mr Rogers. No offense to Mr Rogers, But 1332 01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:13,679 Speaker 1: you're gonna read books. Don't just rely on one source 1333 01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:18,080 Speaker 1: for your news. Uh? And also no news sources perfect. 1334 01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:21,240 Speaker 1: We know everyone knows all of this. Literally, no one 1335 01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:24,439 Speaker 1: needs to be told any of this. Why Dan rather 1336 01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:28,960 Speaker 1: who got Look he's very lucky. He's a very lucky guy. 1337 01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:36,559 Speaker 1: There were forty other dudes with you know, nondescript coastal 1338 01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:41,200 Speaker 1: accents and side parted hair. I can say it because 1339 01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:43,920 Speaker 1: that's how I rock the side part Obviously that could 1340 01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:45,920 Speaker 1: have had that job. But he had that job and 1341 01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:51,040 Speaker 1: became incredibly wealthy, And you know, he's had a great run, right, 1342 01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:53,080 Speaker 1: he's a very lucky guy. But you know what it 1343 01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:56,679 Speaker 1: is the ego that people develop when they achieve any 1344 01:18:56,760 --> 01:19:01,360 Speaker 1: degree of notoriety in this business, especially when they have 1345 01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:05,880 Speaker 1: fame and wealth. A lot of people get overcome by 1346 01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:09,680 Speaker 1: their own ego. It just the ego monster is uncontrollable. 1347 01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:12,200 Speaker 1: I think with someone like Dan Rather, he really believes 1348 01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,320 Speaker 1: that he needs to set things right and that he's 1349 01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:18,000 Speaker 1: still a necessary part of the national conversation. Reminds me 1350 01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:20,040 Speaker 1: Larry Kings. I was like, hey, I'll come back on, 1351 01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:23,519 Speaker 1: you know, I'll interview anyone. Let's get it go. And 1352 01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:26,880 Speaker 1: it's like, we don't need we don't need him, We 1353 01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:28,479 Speaker 1: don't we don't need Larry King. It's okay, he had 1354 01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:31,400 Speaker 1: a great run. He had a great run, very lucky guy. 1355 01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:34,960 Speaker 1: But there are other people that will do these jobs. Now. 1356 01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:38,960 Speaker 1: It's okay to you know, focus on other things, focus 1357 01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:41,200 Speaker 1: on your private life, your personal life, your family, charity, 1358 01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:45,400 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. But journalists just don't want to 1359 01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:47,800 Speaker 1: give it up. And particular TV journalist and particularly do 1360 01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:52,120 Speaker 1: not ever want to step aside, never want to. They 1361 01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:55,080 Speaker 1: unlike when you think about other careers, you know, with 1362 01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:58,200 Speaker 1: everything from a small family business in all the way 1363 01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:01,320 Speaker 1: up to corporate America. People at some point generally want 1364 01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:03,559 Speaker 1: to stop, you know, they generally want to retire. These 1365 01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:06,840 Speaker 1: people in the in the media business who are from 1366 01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:09,800 Speaker 1: the old school of journalism, people like Dan Rather, Larry 1367 01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:13,000 Speaker 1: King and others, they never want to stop and never 1368 01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:14,760 Speaker 1: want to step aside. They think they should have the 1369 01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:18,320 Speaker 1: big job forever. Well, you know, that's not how it 1370 01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:21,600 Speaker 1: works the circle of life, my friends. It's time for 1371 01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:26,680 Speaker 1: some new stuff. But rather, I'm gonna try to have 1372 01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:29,160 Speaker 1: a play on words using his name there, I'm gonna 1373 01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:32,360 Speaker 1: avoid that. Rather would rather, I guess I just did 1374 01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:35,200 Speaker 1: it tell us all that we need to read books. 1375 01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:38,080 Speaker 1: He would rather lecture us on fake news. And there's 1376 01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:43,000 Speaker 1: something particularly galling about this is what he thinks he 1377 01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:45,360 Speaker 1: should be focusing on. I we think about the delusion. 1378 01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:49,320 Speaker 1: The guy who lost his job, and it was a 1379 01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:51,960 Speaker 1: hard thing to for him to get fired from CBS. 1380 01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:55,000 Speaker 1: It wasn't a me too, sexual harassment thing or anything 1381 01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:59,880 Speaker 1: like that. It was for the failure to perform the 1382 01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:05,080 Speaker 1: basic due diligence of a journalist in a presidential election 1383 01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:08,160 Speaker 1: when there could have been very real consequence I mean, 1384 01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:11,720 Speaker 1: it's so funny. We talked about Russia collusion and oh 1385 01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:13,640 Speaker 1: the and and he'll call me, and the email and 1386 01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:18,040 Speaker 1: everything else. You had the very media that now breathlessly 1387 01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:23,800 Speaker 1: reports on all the excuses that he has for why 1388 01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:27,360 Speaker 1: she didn't win the election. That very same media was 1389 01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:32,639 Speaker 1: the one that supported and really coddled and revered based 1390 01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:34,880 Speaker 1: on nothing. I never and I don't think the guy's 1391 01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:38,360 Speaker 1: not gonna be funny. He's not insightful. Uh you know, 1392 01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:42,160 Speaker 1: I don't get it, folks. He's just really really lucky. 1393 01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:48,160 Speaker 1: But that same media tried to throw the election back 1394 01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:52,479 Speaker 1: in two thousand four. That same media figured that they 1395 01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:58,560 Speaker 1: could come up with a way to completely destroy the 1396 01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:03,120 Speaker 1: chances of the Bush administration or destroy the chances of 1397 01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:06,479 Speaker 1: a Bush victory. And now here they're a lecture. Let's 1398 01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:09,400 Speaker 1: look a little more from from condescending Mr Rogers want 1399 01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:12,400 Speaker 1: to be rather here go ahead. Number four. If you 1400 01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:16,599 Speaker 1: find yourself agreeing with everything you use, outlet says you're 1401 01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:21,799 Speaker 1: doing it wrong. If your news doesn't challenge you, challenge 1402 01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:23,840 Speaker 1: your news, all right, pause it for a second. It's 1403 01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:27,680 Speaker 1: a little thing you're doing it wrong. Is a contemporary 1404 01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:30,640 Speaker 1: phrase that I promise you. Dan Rather does not use 1405 01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:34,120 Speaker 1: in his day to day He didn't write this, he 1406 01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:38,320 Speaker 1: didn't write it. No way, you're doing it wrong. That's 1407 01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:41,960 Speaker 1: what a couple of generations below him would say. You 1408 01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:44,479 Speaker 1: know if blah, but blah, you're doing it wrong. You 1409 01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:47,760 Speaker 1: know this is almost it is an internet mean ah. 1410 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:52,679 Speaker 1: So Dan Rather is now lecturing you on fake news 1411 01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:55,599 Speaker 1: by reading the words that others wrote for him about 1412 01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:59,519 Speaker 1: fake news, and doesn't see the irony in any of this. 1413 01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:02,519 Speaker 1: Really thinks that we need to hear from him on 1414 01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:05,960 Speaker 1: it a little more, a little more. Number five, find 1415 01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:11,439 Speaker 1: a commentator whose politics differ from yours, intellection honest, even 1416 01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:14,320 Speaker 1: though their value is different from yours. If you can't 1417 01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:18,080 Speaker 1: find such a person, maybe the media is not the problem. 1418 01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:23,720 Speaker 1: And number six, remember that what the news tells you 1419 01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:27,679 Speaker 1: is far less important than what they decide to talk 1420 01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:31,439 Speaker 1: about in the first place. If they focus on personal, 1421 01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:36,519 Speaker 1: selacious and speculative stories. Find a new outlet. So he's 1422 01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:39,040 Speaker 1: basically saying that CNN stinks and you shouldn't watch it. 1423 01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:44,000 Speaker 1: So thanks for that, Dan Rather. Uh. I just it's 1424 01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:46,240 Speaker 1: as a guy who got into this business really by 1425 01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:49,280 Speaker 1: accident or kind of fell into it, I find it 1426 01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:53,360 Speaker 1: amazing that you still have these these They don't understand 1427 01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:55,599 Speaker 1: that the game has changed. This is a different world 1428 01:23:55,680 --> 01:24:02,880 Speaker 1: we're living in now, um, and we don't need we 1429 01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:05,160 Speaker 1: we don't need to have Dan Rather lecturing us about 1430 01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:08,000 Speaker 1: the news anymore. We really don't. A guy who tried 1431 01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:10,640 Speaker 1: to throw a presidential election for the Democrat against the 1432 01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:13,720 Speaker 1: Republican does not have to weigh in here. He's very rich. 1433 01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:16,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a lot of beautiful golf courses he 1434 01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:18,120 Speaker 1: should be hanging out on, and I wish him all 1435 01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:19,960 Speaker 1: the best on them. I wish he would just leave 1436 01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:22,720 Speaker 1: the rest of us alone. He wouldn't be able to 1437 01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:25,080 Speaker 1: get to first base in today's media environment. That's just 1438 01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:27,120 Speaker 1: the truth. And I mean if he were thirty years younger, 1439 01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:29,840 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Alright, we're rolling a quick break. We come back. 1440 01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:33,800 Speaker 1: Zombie raccoons are a real thing. Can you defend yourself 1441 01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:36,120 Speaker 1: against them? I will tell you when we come back. Now, 1442 01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:39,839 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you all about something. It's very serious. 1443 01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:45,759 Speaker 1: There have been sightings in Youngstown, Ohio, according to various 1444 01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:52,120 Speaker 1: news sources, of zombie raccoons. May be seeing yourself. What 1445 01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:55,240 Speaker 1: the heck is a zombie raccoon? Well, according to locals, 1446 01:24:56,040 --> 01:24:58,639 Speaker 1: it is quote raccoons that stand up on hind legs, 1447 01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:04,160 Speaker 1: which raccoons don't usually do, and they show their teeth 1448 01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:07,120 Speaker 1: and then they fall over backwards, and then they go 1449 01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:12,479 Speaker 1: into a comatose condition. End quote. This is quite a thing, 1450 01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:17,479 Speaker 1: my friends. This is happening. Numerous cases of zombie raccoon 1451 01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:22,440 Speaker 1: sightings in Youngstown, Ohio. I'm not sure the raccoon apocalypse 1452 01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:25,439 Speaker 1: is upon us quite yet, but I will tell you 1453 01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:30,640 Speaker 1: that raccoons from a distance look kind of cute. You 1454 01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:32,640 Speaker 1: get up close to them, though, and they are the 1455 01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:35,400 Speaker 1: stuff of nightmares. And in fact, if you've ever seen 1456 01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:37,880 Speaker 1: and don't ask you why, I've seen this, a photo 1457 01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:42,720 Speaker 1: of a completely shaved or furless raccoon, they look like 1458 01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:47,519 Speaker 1: some kind of giant mutant rat sent to destroy us all. 1459 01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:50,640 Speaker 1: So they're actually quite terrifying. I'm gonna tell you right now. 1460 01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:53,760 Speaker 1: It's a little story time with Buck. I had my own, 1461 01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:59,799 Speaker 1: my own encounter some years ago with a zombie raccoon. 1462 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:04,280 Speaker 1: So I was going out to visit Dom, who was 1463 01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:07,960 Speaker 1: my program director at the Blaze. I was heading out 1464 01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:12,280 Speaker 1: to his house, lovely place. It's really a cabin. In 1465 01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:15,160 Speaker 1: the cabin in the woods, right next to a lake, 1466 01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:17,439 Speaker 1: and we had a great time. We went out a 1467 01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:20,760 Speaker 1: t ving and did all kinds of cool stuff. But 1468 01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:23,479 Speaker 1: it was it was rural, you know, it was a 1469 01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:26,840 Speaker 1: rural area. And I arrived at the at the house, 1470 01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:30,120 Speaker 1: at the cabin, and look, I'm I'm a guy who 1471 01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:31,960 Speaker 1: comes from the city, and I don't want people to think, oh, 1472 01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:34,400 Speaker 1: you know, I can't it can't handle all the scary 1473 01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:38,639 Speaker 1: animals and all. Although maybe that sometimes is how I feel, 1474 01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,840 Speaker 1: but you know, I'm I've been on the woods, been 1475 01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:43,559 Speaker 1: out in the desert, been out in war zones. Right, 1476 01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:46,479 Speaker 1: I should be able to handle anything. So I'm trying 1477 01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:48,960 Speaker 1: to be cool.

I have never seen this in 1510 01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:35,320 Speaker 1: myfore before in my life. My friends and the guys 1511 01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:37,559 Speaker 1: the students there talking about it went back on its 1512 01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:41,960 Speaker 1: hind legs like a bear, except those little raccoon hind legs. 1513 01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:44,639 Speaker 1: And then you saw it's like nasty, little creepy claw, 1514 01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:47,679 Speaker 1: you know, has these little creepy claw hands and baring 1515 01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:51,519 Speaker 1: its teeth at the dog. And I'm standing there, I'm 1516 01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:53,920 Speaker 1: just like, oh God, I'm thinking doesn't have rabies. And 1517 01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:55,840 Speaker 1: now we've got the black Lab and I'm not gonna lie. 1518 01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:59,000 Speaker 1: The city slicker here did not exactly jump into action. 1519 01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:02,280 Speaker 1: I was just like, oh no, what through it was, 1520 01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:05,040 Speaker 1: everything's kind of slow motion because I got this beloved 1521 01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:08,679 Speaker 1: black Lab facing off against zombie raccoon. First two minutes 1522 01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:11,680 Speaker 1: of my then boss, I'm visiting his house, hanging out 1523 01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:13,960 Speaker 1: with his family, and we we got a we got 1524 01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:16,680 Speaker 1: a zombie raccoon going up against the family pet. This 1525 01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:18,680 Speaker 1: is like an old yellow situation, folks, I mean, this 1526 01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:23,720 Speaker 1: is this is high stakes. It's intense. And then sure 1527 01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:29,360 Speaker 1: enough I stand there frozen and do nothing. Dumb runs 1528 01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:32,519 Speaker 1: into you know, God, God blessed Michigan, uh, you know, 1529 01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:36,400 Speaker 1: runs into his house. He is a a lawful second 1530 01:29:36,439 --> 01:29:40,760 Speaker 1: Amendment second Amendment proponent of the United States. And sure 1531 01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:43,479 Speaker 1: enough he had a I forget what it was. I 1532 01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:46,360 Speaker 1: think it was. I think he pulled out a thirty eight. 1533 01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:49,840 Speaker 1: And he comes out, and then about this all happened 1534 01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:52,479 Speaker 1: to span of about ten seconds. He just comes out 1535 01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:55,880 Speaker 1: and the zombie raccoon is on its back legs, it's 1536 01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:58,000 Speaker 1: a little claws and everything. And I'm standing there. I'm like, 1537 01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:01,200 Speaker 1: and the dog is or and they're about to square off, 1538 01:30:01,320 --> 01:30:04,200 Speaker 1: and tob comes out and just boom boom boom. And 1539 01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:08,360 Speaker 1: I mean that raccoon, zombie raccoon, not much left. I 1540 01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:10,960 Speaker 1: couldn't even make a hat out of it. It's just done. 1541 01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:14,160 Speaker 1: So so I just want to tell you about that 1542 01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:17,320 Speaker 1: because it's really a public safety announcement. If in fact, 1543 01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:21,120 Speaker 1: you see a zombie raccoon where you are, do not approach, 1544 01:30:21,720 --> 01:30:26,880 Speaker 1: do not let Fido or Muffie the poodle go anywhere 1545 01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:30,840 Speaker 1: near it. Get yourself to the nearest location where you 1546 01:30:30,920 --> 01:30:34,800 Speaker 1: have a firearm, or or however you prefer to deal 1547 01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:36,599 Speaker 1: with raccoons, and some of you are probably like, I'll 1548 01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:38,880 Speaker 1: use a bow whatever, bow and arrow works too, whatever 1549 01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:43,880 Speaker 1: you got and handle the situation appropriately in a manner 1550 01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:48,920 Speaker 1: worthy of the Walking Dead. Zombie raccoon was toast. I 1551 01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:50,759 Speaker 1: felt like it was important to share that story because 1552 01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:53,519 Speaker 1: this is a this is happening in Youngstown, Ohio. People. 1553 01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:55,240 Speaker 1: They think for those of you who are wondering, like, 1554 01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:58,479 Speaker 1: why is Buck telling you this crazy story, they don't 1555 01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:01,519 Speaker 1: believe that it's rabies um. They think that it actually 1556 01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:07,400 Speaker 1: comes from a disease called distemper, which can affect raccoons. 1557 01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:10,280 Speaker 1: It's not contagious to humans, though, but it can make 1558 01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:13,479 Speaker 1: them do crazy things and the Brandon spinal quarter affected. 1559 01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:18,320 Speaker 1: So maybe there's a scientific reason for this, or they're 1560 01:31:18,360 --> 01:31:22,360 Speaker 1: just zombie raccoons. Folks, be on the lookout. You never 1561 01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:24,960 Speaker 1: know when one of them is gonna come flying out 1562 01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:26,880 Speaker 1: of the woodpile when you're trying to impress the boss 1563 01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,320 Speaker 1: and his wife for a weekend away. And with that, 1564 01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:34,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to go into a break. I'll be right back. Brothers, 1565 01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:38,680 Speaker 1: don't shake hands, Brothers gotta hug. I don't know how 1566 01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:41,559 Speaker 1: many of you know this, and uh, I definitely don't 1567 01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:45,439 Speaker 1: know how many of you care. I'm guessing not very many. 1568 01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:52,320 Speaker 1: But today today is in fact National Hug a news 1569 01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:56,719 Speaker 1: Person Day. That's right, every April four, it is National 1570 01:31:56,880 --> 01:31:59,960 Speaker 1: Hugging news Person Day. It was formerly National Hugging new 1571 01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:04,040 Speaker 1: news Man Day. And this gives people the opportunity to 1572 01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:09,360 Speaker 1: say thank you and hug their local news person. Uh So, 1573 01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:13,439 Speaker 1: the way you're supposed to this is so dumb. I know. 1574 01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:17,120 Speaker 1: The way you're supposed to observe this is if you 1575 01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:20,400 Speaker 1: aren't able to hug your news person, you can send 1576 01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:25,040 Speaker 1: them a virtual one. Use hashtag hug a news person 1577 01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:27,680 Speaker 1: data post on social media. So those of you who 1578 01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:32,120 Speaker 1: feel like I don't know, maybe you have maybe you 1579 01:32:32,200 --> 01:32:36,439 Speaker 1: have a favorite news person who does radio every night 1580 01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:40,920 Speaker 1: for Premier Networks from six to nine Eastern uh and 1581 01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:45,000 Speaker 1: has a really widely downloaded podcast that you think is great. 1582 01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:47,799 Speaker 1: And I mean, maybe there's somebody who fits that description 1583 01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:50,840 Speaker 1: and you want to send them a virtual hug with 1584 01:32:51,160 --> 01:32:54,720 Speaker 1: hashtag hug a news person. This is the This is 1585 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:57,320 Speaker 1: like the lamest call out I think I've ever done. 1586 01:32:57,360 --> 01:32:59,759 Speaker 1: All this show. I think it's really funny, it's ridiculous. 1587 01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:01,800 Speaker 1: You don't have to do it. I'm just kidding. I 1588 01:33:01,880 --> 01:33:07,679 Speaker 1: swear mostly, but I'd also say that we've we've entured 1589 01:33:07,720 --> 01:33:10,040 Speaker 1: in an era now where I don't know if I'm 1590 01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:13,240 Speaker 1: allowed to hug colleagues because of all the stuff that's 1591 01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:15,680 Speaker 1: happened in the last year, I now am in this 1592 01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:19,880 Speaker 1: awkward position of uh, I ask for permission. I asked 1593 01:33:19,920 --> 01:33:22,479 Speaker 1: for permission to hug. People can hug me, I don't care. 1594 01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:24,240 Speaker 1: I mean pretty much anyone, a stranger on the street 1595 01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:26,719 Speaker 1: could hug me. It doesn't bother me. But I asked 1596 01:33:26,760 --> 01:33:28,760 Speaker 1: for permission before I hug even people that I know 1597 01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:32,479 Speaker 1: really well. So maybe you get kind of a pass 1598 01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:37,559 Speaker 1: on national hug a newsperson day. I wouldn't I wouldn't 1599 01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:40,439 Speaker 1: necessarily bet on that. But we have reached a period 1600 01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:43,719 Speaker 1: now where, oh, even when I do a live event 1601 01:33:43,880 --> 01:33:47,439 Speaker 1: somewhere like I did recently out in Indiana. When I 1602 01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:49,280 Speaker 1: do a live event, you know how you take a 1603 01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:51,320 Speaker 1: photo of somebody, usually want to do the like hand 1604 01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:54,320 Speaker 1: on the back, you know, because you're you're presenting a 1605 01:33:54,840 --> 01:34:00,400 Speaker 1: friendly a friendly picture, and I male, female, doesn't matter. 1606 01:34:00,479 --> 01:34:02,240 Speaker 1: I gotta you know, is it okay if I put 1607 01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:04,200 Speaker 1: my hand on your back? And sometimes even just do 1608 01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:08,880 Speaker 1: the hand that is raised that looks like my hands 1609 01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:11,080 Speaker 1: on the person's back, but I actually don't touch them 1610 01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:14,640 Speaker 1: because I feel like that's okay. But the whole thing 1611 01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:17,040 Speaker 1: is just so weird. You know. You look at other cultures, 1612 01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:19,760 Speaker 1: they do the whole kiss on the cheek thing. Some 1613 01:34:19,920 --> 01:34:22,439 Speaker 1: of you that you know what I'm talking about. In uh, 1614 01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:26,360 Speaker 1: you know, some Middle Eastern countries and European countries, you 1615 01:34:26,479 --> 01:34:30,800 Speaker 1: get guys kiss each other on both cheeks and there's 1616 01:34:30,840 --> 01:34:34,479 Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff going on there. Um, so you know, 1617 01:34:34,560 --> 01:34:38,200 Speaker 1: in terms of hugging, and of course there's well I'm 1618 01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:41,000 Speaker 1: just saying the hug stuff has gotten weird. The hug 1619 01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:43,560 Speaker 1: stuff has gotten weird. And now I don't really know, 1620 01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:46,840 Speaker 1: but huggy is important everyone, you know.

She now responded Lauren on face book, 1643 01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:02,600 Speaker 1: I'm embarrassed to say that I had to google the 1644 01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:05,679 Speaker 1: Tommy Boy quote, and even worse, I've never even seen 1645 01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:09,719 Speaker 1: Tommy Boy.

I mean, 1657 01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:46,719 Speaker 1: I don't want to become one of these weird media 1658 01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:50,960 Speaker 1: robot types. Next up, we got Phil who writes buck 1659 01:36:51,240 --> 01:36:53,760 Speaker 1: Love the show I'm catching up on Monday's podcast, and 1660 01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:56,400 Speaker 1: you mentioned during your discussion of McKinley he was the 1661 01:36:56,439 --> 01:36:59,240 Speaker 1: only president from the Great State of Ohio. As a 1662 01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:01,679 Speaker 1: native of the Great State of Ohio, I take umbradge 1663 01:37:01,720 --> 01:37:05,599 Speaker 1: with that Ohio is actually tied with Virginia of states 1664 01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:09,200 Speaker 1: with the most presidents at eight. William Henry Harrison ninth, 1665 01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:14,639 Speaker 1: President Ulysses S. Grant eighteen, Rutherford Behayes nineteen, James Garfield twenty, 1666 01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:18,960 Speaker 1: Benjamin Harrison twenty three, William McKinley twenty five, William Taft, 1667 01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:23,360 Speaker 1: William Hardy. Sorry we're in Harding twenty nine. Just the 1668 01:37:23,439 --> 01:37:25,920 Speaker 1: general bucks Lap. Keep up the great work, Phil You're 1669 01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:29,240 Speaker 1: totally right. I was totally wrong. I can't remember. So 1670 01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:31,439 Speaker 1: here's why that was stuck in my head. When they 1671 01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:37,519 Speaker 1: renamed Mount McKinley Denali officially under President Obama. You you 1672 01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:41,920 Speaker 1: will recall that happened. Uh, there was Ohio was was 1673 01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:45,080 Speaker 1: upset about it, and I can't And I thought it 1674 01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:49,639 Speaker 1: was because McKinley was the only something and from having 1675 01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:51,320 Speaker 1: to do with Ohio. And now I can't remember what 1676 01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:54,720 Speaker 1: the statistic or what the factoid was. Clearly though, I 1677 01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:59,479 Speaker 1: stand thoroughly buck slapped, and you are in fact correct. 1678 01:38:00,040 --> 01:38:03,080 Speaker 1: Eight presidents tied to Ohio. And I would note that, Philly, 1679 01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:04,880 Speaker 1: you weren't the only one. I got lit up on this. 1680 01:38:05,280 --> 01:38:07,280 Speaker 1: But you know what, I liked that all of you 1681 01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:10,600 Speaker 1: actually listen and you pay attention, and you call me 1682 01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:15,720 Speaker 1: out when I make a mistake. So definitely, I I 1683 01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:18,720 Speaker 1: can't pass the buck on that one. I I got caught. 1684 01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:22,400 Speaker 1: I got caught up and I stand corrected. Uh. Next up, 1685 01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:26,080 Speaker 1: will writes, tell Bill Hammer his hairs out of place. Oh, 1686 01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:30,479 Speaker 1: that must have been during my hit today on Fox News. 1687 01:38:31,080 --> 01:38:34,960 Speaker 1: Hammer is one of the greats. He's a really talented broadcaster, 1688 01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:39,679 Speaker 1: a super nice guy, and very very skilled on camera. 1689 01:38:39,800 --> 01:38:42,160 Speaker 1: I know people watch some of the news shows they think, well, 1690 01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:44,200 Speaker 1: you know, how hard, how hard can this be? To 1691 01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:46,960 Speaker 1: be good at It is actually really hard. Anyone can 1692 01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:50,120 Speaker 1: do it. But it's kind of like soccer. Well maybe 1693 01:38:50,160 --> 01:38:52,280 Speaker 1: this's a bad Now you're like, Buck, you're a communist. 1694 01:38:52,280 --> 01:38:56,240 Speaker 1: Why are you talking about soccer or in Europe football? Uh, 1695 01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:58,920 Speaker 1: but soccer is a simple game made hard by the 1696 01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:01,160 Speaker 1: people playing it. Alright, to kick a ball and to 1697 01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:04,000 Speaker 1: kick it into a big net not hard. It's just 1698 01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:06,360 Speaker 1: the other folks around you and all the other things 1699 01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:08,640 Speaker 1: that get added into it make it hard anything. It's 1700 01:39:08,640 --> 01:39:11,320 Speaker 1: true at TV. Anyone can speak into a camera on TV, 1701 01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:14,800 Speaker 1: especially if they're reading some stuff off the prompter, but 1702 01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:16,679 Speaker 1: to do it well, to do it better than other people, 1703 01:39:16,760 --> 01:39:21,880 Speaker 1: becomes very difficult. Next up here we have Mike, who writes, Hey, Buck, 1704 01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:25,759 Speaker 1: great show. I'm always a day late when listening, curious 1705 01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:28,439 Speaker 1: what the reality of using the military defend our borders is. 1706 01:39:28,840 --> 01:39:30,720 Speaker 1: I find it funny to hear people say we need 1707 01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:33,479 Speaker 1: to bring our military back home to defend our country. 1708 01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:36,640 Speaker 1: But we'll freak out when the talk of preventing this 1709 01:39:36,840 --> 01:39:40,400 Speaker 1: convoy of entering our country happens. As they are sitting 1710 01:39:40,479 --> 01:39:42,639 Speaker 1: on and defending a lot of borders of other countries. 1711 01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:45,559 Speaker 1: But the thought of using to protect our own borders 1712 01:39:46,479 --> 01:39:49,760 Speaker 1: makes progressives lose their minds. Look, Mike, I think you're 1713 01:39:50,040 --> 01:39:52,960 Speaker 1: raising a very good point here. It's the national guard 1714 01:39:53,040 --> 01:39:56,280 Speaker 1: for this nation, not for other nations. Why wouldn't we 1715 01:39:56,600 --> 01:40:01,440 Speaker 1: defend our borders? Isn't it interesting to note how successful 1716 01:40:01,479 --> 01:40:06,200 Speaker 1: and widespread the propaganda has been that we are now 1717 01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:11,519 Speaker 1: in a situation where the notion of defending borders at all, 1718 01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:14,760 Speaker 1: and I just mean enforcing borders is tied in with 1719 01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:20,160 Speaker 1: thoughts of racism, xenophobia, fear of foreigners, all this stuff. 1720 01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:24,679 Speaker 1: When every other country in the world defends its borders, 1721 01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:28,120 Speaker 1: maintains its borders, has laws about who comes and who goes, 1722 01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:30,960 Speaker 1: it is true. I know people try to dismiss it 1723 01:40:31,040 --> 01:40:33,519 Speaker 1: as some kind of talking point, But if you don't 1724 01:40:33,560 --> 01:40:36,440 Speaker 1: have borders, you don't have a country. Is that straightforward? 1725 01:40:37,640 --> 01:40:40,840 Speaker 1: Next up, we've got Kevin who whoa quite a note 1726 01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:42,960 Speaker 1: here from Kevin Buck. I catched the show every morning 1727 01:40:43,040 --> 01:40:46,479 Speaker 1: via podcast. On Tuesday, you mentioned there's a high percentage 1728 01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:50,720 Speaker 1: of Americans who, uh I haven't read a book in 1729 01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:53,720 Speaker 1: the last year. This hit me for some reason as 1730 01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:58,080 Speaker 1: another division of the population. Am I being too sensitive? Maybe? 1731 01:40:58,200 --> 01:41:00,519 Speaker 1: But here's a short rundown explanation of why I may 1732 01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:05,200 Speaker 1: fall in this category. Household minimum since I was twenty 1733 01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:08,200 Speaker 1: seven of two children, two adults, three children, one dog, 1734 01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:12,400 Speaker 1: one cat. Today six adults, two grandchildren, three dogs, two cats, 1735 01:41:12,439 --> 01:41:15,920 Speaker 1: and one hamster. Occupation, fifty five year old truck driver 1736 01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:19,639 Speaker 1: and thirty seven years four plus million miles. The current 1737 01:41:19,680 --> 01:41:22,519 Speaker 1: schedule up at oh three fifty back at the house 1738 01:41:22,560 --> 01:41:26,559 Speaker 1: at seventeen thirty ish. Chores, chores, chores, lots of stuff. Point, 1739 01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:30,240 Speaker 1: I'm not unique. Most Americans are busy. I do read, 1740 01:41:30,320 --> 01:41:33,880 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, articles, news, etcetera, and audio books. I 1741 01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:36,519 Speaker 1: do read Bible versus daily. I do read the Heritage 1742 01:41:36,560 --> 01:41:39,559 Speaker 1: Guide to the Constitution. I do have ten books I'll 1743 01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:42,760 Speaker 1: eventually get to but lately no love your show and 1744 01:41:42,800 --> 01:41:46,160 Speaker 1: Shields hies amazing. Keep it up, Kevin. Ps. I have 1745 01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:49,040 Speaker 1: a granddaughter named Molly. Well Kevin, that's great and Ms 1746 01:41:49,120 --> 01:41:50,679 Speaker 1: Monley will get a kick out of that, so thank 1747 01:41:50,720 --> 01:41:53,920 Speaker 1: you and Kevin, I hear you. I admitted this yesterday 1748 01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:56,240 Speaker 1: on the show. I've gone through periods where I realized 1749 01:41:56,320 --> 01:41:59,360 Speaker 1: I haven't read a book in a while. Yeah. For me, though, 1750 01:41:59,400 --> 01:42:01,680 Speaker 1: it's kind of like the gym, you know, or or 1751 01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:04,479 Speaker 1: when I say the gym, whatever your activity, your physical 1752 01:42:04,520 --> 01:42:07,560 Speaker 1: activity is, and I've gone through periods or I'm just 1753 01:42:07,800 --> 01:42:11,560 Speaker 1: begging to get pre Dad Dad bond, right, I'm just 1754 01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm scarf and chocolate left, and that's really chocolate and 1755 01:42:15,120 --> 01:42:17,120 Speaker 1: French fries. I always say my weakness. I mean, if 1756 01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:20,360 Speaker 1: if anyone ever comes up with French fries dipped in chocolate, 1757 01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:22,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna end up having a heart attack 1758 01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:24,680 Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. So you know, I've gone 1759 01:42:24,680 --> 01:42:26,640 Speaker 1: through periods where I've I've been injured, I've been too 1760 01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:29,000 Speaker 1: tired of been too stressed. I've you know, gotten a 1761 01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:32,680 Speaker 1: little unhealthy, and you just you fight back and you 1762 01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:34,519 Speaker 1: do what you can to get back in a good rhythm. 1763 01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:36,439 Speaker 1: The same thing is true reading, and you should really 1764 01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:38,320 Speaker 1: think of it that way. You know, it's not oh, 1765 01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:40,040 Speaker 1: I haven't read a book in last year. That says 1766 01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:41,920 Speaker 1: something about me. As you point out Kevin. It just 1767 01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:44,640 Speaker 1: says you're busy. I get that. I'm just trying to 1768 01:42:44,760 --> 01:42:48,320 Speaker 1: encourage myself and everyone listening to the show. Have a 1769 01:42:48,439 --> 01:42:51,320 Speaker 1: book that you are reading. Don't worry about how quickly 1770 01:42:51,320 --> 01:42:53,559 Speaker 1: you're going through it. Read two or three pages at 1771 01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:56,040 Speaker 1: a time. But keep it on your keep it within 1772 01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:58,920 Speaker 1: reach of your favorite chair, keep it next to your 1773 01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:00,240 Speaker 1: bed if you're like me and you like to read 1774 01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:02,600 Speaker 1: at night before you go to sleep, or just have 1775 01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:05,479 Speaker 1: it out on the coffee table. Not a coffee table book, right, 1776 01:43:05,560 --> 01:43:09,360 Speaker 1: not you know, paintings from seventeenth century France.
