1
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: Mr garbatsch Off teared down this wall. Either you're with

2
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: us or you were with the terrorists. If you've got

3
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: healthcare already, then you can keep your plan. If you

4
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: are satisfied with Trump is not going to be president

5
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: of the United States, take it to the bank. Together,

6
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 1: we will make America great again. It's what you've been

7
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: waiting for all day. Buck Sexton, with America now joined

8
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: the conversation called buck toll free at eight four four

9
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: nine hundred buck. That's eight four four, nine hundred to

10
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: eight to five the future of talk radio. Buck Sexton,

11
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: Remember this day in which it was singled out for

12
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: attack in the General Assembly for the very act of

13
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: exercising our right as a sovereign nation. We will remember

14
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: it when we are called upon to once again make

15
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: the world's largest contribution to the United Nations. And we

16
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: will remember it when so many countries come calling on us,

17
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: as they so often do, to pay even more and

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: to use our influence for their benefit. America will put

19
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: our embassy in Jerusalem. That is what the American people

20
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: want us to do, and it is the right thing

21
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: to do. No vote in the United Nations will make

22
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: any difference on that but this vote will make a

23
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: difference on how Americans look at the u N and

24
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: on how we look at countries who disrespect us in

25
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: the u N box. Sex in here Team, Great to

26
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: have you with me in the Freedom Hut. That was

27
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Hailey laying a

28
00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: SmackDown on the United Nations General Assembly today. I have

29
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: to say it was quite a good day for the

30
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: ambassador and a day of clarity for many of the

31
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: rest of us. We're not surprised to find out that

32
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: the United Nations has quite an anti Israeli and in

33
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: fact anti Semitic streak. That's not news. And we're not

34
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: surprised that a bunch of countries all over the world

35
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: that pretend to be courageous in moments like this where

36
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: there's a vote that means nothing but they want to

37
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: get on the record anyway. We won't be surprised when

38
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: they come asking for our help later on. But this

39
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: is where we see the difference, isn't it between this

40
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: administration and the previous one. The Obama administration was all

41
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: about trying to just fit in with the pack of

42
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: the international community, trying to be a part of all

43
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: the different nations out there and really no different and

44
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: in so many ways, no better than all the other countries.

45
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: And that's just nonsense. It's not true. Clap track. We

46
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: are better than almost all countries in every sense, and

47
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: we are the best country in a general sense. So

48
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: it's nice to have some top down reaffirmation of that

49
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: at the United Nations. The world sleep soundly at night

50
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: despite the fact that our military could crush anybody. The

51
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: world is in fact a much better place each and

52
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: every day because of America and the fact that Israel

53
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: in such a short span of time has created a

54
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: rule of law based democracy in the heart of the

55
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: Middle East, where people have rights and a high standard

56
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: of living and are coming up with new vaccines and

57
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: computer technologies and on cutting edge of so many different industries.

58
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: And then you look around in the neighborhood and you're like, well,

59
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: what's going on outside of Israeli borders. People feel very

60
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: insecure about it. I guess you could say other nations,

61
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: whether it's Saudi Arabia or the UAE or Egypt or

62
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: name a country, they see what's happened in Israel, and

63
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: they have to tell themselves lies about what's really happened

64
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: because they can't accept the truth. And then is that

65
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: autocracy and theocracy more specifically in the case of the

66
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 1: Saudias and many other Muslim states, is a path to misery.

67
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: And the Israelis have something else. They have rule of law.

68
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: They have a decent country and society that is the

69
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: envy of the rest of the region. And that is

70
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: why it is so hated by the rest of the region.

71
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: And we have America, close friend and ally of the

72
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: Israeli state, that under this president, with this US Ambassador

73
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: to the United Nations, will actually say, you know what,

74
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: enough of enough of the garbage, enough of the crap

75
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: that we have to deal with from all of you here.

76
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: You should be so thankful that the current global hedgemon

77
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: is as benevolent and decent to powers of the the United States.

78
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: You know, I see these polls that are out there,

79
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: and there was one that was out pretty recently about

80
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: which country is the one that is viewed as the

81
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: greatest threat to peace instability, And in a lot of

82
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: the world, it's America. It's a shocking number of countries

83
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: they say it's America. The only real exceptions are in

84
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: countries where there's an imminent national security challenger next door, right,

85
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: So in India it's Pakistan and Pakistan it's India. You know,

86
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: in South Korea it's North Korea and North Koda. But

87
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: if you look at a lot of polling, it will

88
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: show you that around the world they view America as

89
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: the biggest threat. And it's just a reminder that there's

90
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: really no gratitude for the greatness of this country from

91
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: a lot of the world, not from all of it.

92
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: There are countless tens of millions that want to come here. Really,

93
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: probably hundreds of millions that would love to come to

94
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: America if they really were given the option, because they

95
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: understand at this place is the best. There's nothing jingoistic

96
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: or strange about professing that America is number one because

97
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: we are, and that's okay. It doesn't mean that every

98
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: American is better than or worth more than people from

99
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: every other country. It just means, as as a nation state,

100
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,799
Speaker 1: as these things go, we are in fact the best,

101
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: and we want others to live in happiness and prosperity

102
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: and liberty and security. And they should be happy that

103
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: that's the case, because it hasn't always been so. Oh,

104
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: it's not always the reality of whatever the global hedgemon

105
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: or the regional hedgemon. Maybe at any point in time.

106
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: The great empires of the past were built on slavery

107
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: in one form or another and conquest. We are the

108
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: first to take at least the mantle of British leadership,

109
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: although now we're talking about colonial period and create a

110
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: better world. Uh and the United Nations is a reflection

111
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: I think of the disconnect that so many other countries

112
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: have when it comes to what is the truth, what

113
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: is the reality of America, and it is that they

114
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: should be very thankful. I'm not expecting everyone all of

115
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: the world to pray to America every day, but I

116
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: also don't think that they should be slapping us in

117
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: the face or that their leadership should be without consequence.

118
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: Given that this is none of their concern. They can

119
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: pretend it is, but where America puts its embassy is

120
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: the business of America. America and the host country that's it.

121
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: This is not up for discussion or debate from other countries.

122
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: This is our call, you know. This is like all

123
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: the other countries of the world coming over to our

124
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: house and saying, you know what you're gonna you're gonna

125
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: put the kitchen here, no facts. Actually we'll decide where

126
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: we put the kitchen. Not not up to you. It's

127
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: our house. Thanks a lot. They should be embarrassed, all

128
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: these countries that did this today. But it is a

129
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: moment in time, and we can see that the Trump

130
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: administration is oh so different from its predecessor. No bowing, No,

131
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: oh gosh, what have we done so badly all over

132
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: the world. Maybe US foreign policy is the cause of

133
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: so many of these ills that we see happening. Maybe

134
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: the global war on terrorism is just one big, long,

135
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: extended blowback to US foreign policy. These are beliefs on

136
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: the left that have infused themselves in the Democratic Party.

137
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: They've taken this stuff on, and at the very top

138
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: level there is at least some level of adherence to it.

139
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: There's some acceptance of these ideas all the way up

140
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: to the commander in chief in the previous administration obombed

141
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: himself and America was the cause of problems in the world,

142
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: that America should be humbling itself before other powers. And

143
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: the difference is quite a contrast, isn't it right now?

144
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:34,119
Speaker 1: And you see it on display the United Nations instead

145
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: of being thankful for what we do all over the

146
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: world takes its first chance here to say that they

147
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: condemn our actions. It doesn't really mean anything. But then

148
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: we have to start to think, well the symbolism, do

149
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: symbolism have meaning or not? The United Nations is honestly

150
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: more symbolic than anything else. A lot of bureaucrats, I know,

151
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: some people who have worked at the U n say

152
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: that you've got some nice, you know, benefits, but nothing

153
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: really happens in any meaningful sense, doesn't stop genocides from occurring,

154
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: doesn't end civil wars, and creates forums for discussion that

155
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: are largely unnecessary, and as we will talk about just

156
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: a little bit, focus way too much on Israel, as

157
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: though this small country in the Middle East, surrounded by

158
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: generally hostile powers, is the great threat to international stability.

159
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: It's just a constant reminder of the inadequacy of the various,

160
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: particularly Arab Muslim regimes that currently exist. That's that's why Israelists,

161
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: at least one of the major reasons why it is

162
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: so bothersome to them. Why are these really so much

163
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: more prosperous and militarily more powerful than we are. It's

164
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: it's an it's a worthwhile question for them to actually

165
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: look at honestly, but they won't. Instead, they'll just spread

166
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: anti anti Semitic wise and defamation and wine and use

167
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: the Palestinians as a as a pawn, try and escape

168
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: accountability for the failures of Islamic leadership. That's just what's happening,

169
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: that's the truth. But they won't want to see it

170
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: that way. So today was It was a good day,

171
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: and Nicki Haley did an excellent job. I must say

172
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: I've often wondered why, in the face of such hostility,

173
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: Israel has chosen to remain a member of this body.

174
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: And then I remember that Israel has chosen to remain

175
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: in this institution because it's important to stand up for yourself.

176
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: Israel must stand up for its own survival as a nation,

177
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: but it also stands up for the ideals of freedom

178
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: and human dignity that the United Nations is supposed to

179
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: be about. Would you would you rather be? And you

180
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: can do this thought experiment in so many different ways.

181
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: You know, would you rather be taken on the battlefield

182
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: as an enemy in in Israel, or in Syria or

183
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia. Look at what the Saudis are doing

184
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: to the Yemen's right now, Yemen is a humanitarian disaster.

185
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: Saudis are writing incredibly wealthy Saudis are right next door

186
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: and just letting the place burn and and involved in

187
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: a vicious air campaign as well. So you can, you

188
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: can have the thought experiments so many different ways. But

189
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: the Israelis represent twenty one century civilization in a region

190
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: that could use quite a bit more of that these days.

191
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: And that's just the truth. We will take a bunch

192
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: of calls if you want today. I'd love to talk

193
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: to you about the tax bill. It looks like a

194
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: continuing resolution has been passed at least by the House.

195
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: Is that the latest that there's not going to be

196
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: a shutdown? Right? That's all you did? There will be

197
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: no shutdown? Yeah, okay, we got we got away for

198
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: the Senate stuff. So the House is passed it. We'll

199
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: see what happens with the Senate. There's not enough of

200
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: a there's not enough attention on them to do a

201
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: shutdown over the Christmas holiday. Plus the government's kind of

202
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: shut down of the holiday anyway, it's like, oh gosh,

203
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: what will happen? The government shuts down and pretty much

204
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: shuts down Saturday and Sunday every week, and we all survive. Everybody,

205
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: it's okay. You know what's what's really gonna kill us,

206
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: all his net neutrality. That's where we're all gonna die.

207
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: Eight four or four n eight to five, eight four

208
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: four nine hundred buck second to last show of twenty seventeen.

209
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: I can't say it out loud too many times where

210
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: I might get a little teary eyed here and get

211
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: little weepy. It's amazing how fast fast time flies, Team Buck,

212
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: you're all grown up now. Oh gosh, nationwide over a

213
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 1: hundred twenty stations, Oh gosh, eight four four nine to

214
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: eight to five. I'll be right back. Of these nations

215
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: that take our money and then they vote against us

216
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: at the Security Council when they vote against potentially at

217
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: the Assembly, they take hundreds of millions of dollars and

218
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us. Well,

219
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: we're watching those votes. Let him vote against us will

220
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: save a lot. We don't care. But this isn't like

221
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: it used to be, where they could vote against you

222
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: and then you pay them hundreds of millions of dollars

223
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: and nobody knows what they're doing. So, Nikki, that was

224
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: the right message that you and I agreed to be

225
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: sent yesterday, and I've had a lot of good comment

226
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: on it. Believing people are tired of the United States.

227
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: The people that live here are great citizens that love

228
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: this country. They're tired of this country being taken advantage of,

229
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: and we're not going to be taken advantage of any longer. Amen,

230
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: How is that controversial? You get all these stuffy, hissy

231
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: foreign policy types were like, oh, how could he? The

232
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: United Nations? Really, why do we have to give the

233
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: most money the U N. I got even better question

234
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: as a New Yorker why they have to have the

235
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: U n headquarters here? Put it somewhere else where they

236
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: don't cause so much congestion and traffic and where there

237
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: aren't so many great restaurants and ways for these countries

238
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: to have their bureaucrats spending their taxpayers dollars. You know,

239
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's like a like an island somewhere. Send

240
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: them to. I don't know, some other place the Falklands

241
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: that's a little out of the way, But I'm just saying,

242
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: you gotta find somewhere else to put them all right,

243
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: everybody wants to talk taxes, we give be that. I'm

244
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: gonna have our friend dovid Iffun from the Alga Minor

00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: I know I gotta get a lot of calls today tomorrow, Becau,

00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,800

254
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: Okay um, okay. Gave employees a crossboard raise today and

255
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: Christmas bonuses because the tax bill passed exactly. Yeah, it's

256
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: good stuff. And yet is there a more democratically endorsed uh?

257
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: You know them? No Democrats care about the middle class

258
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: until someone does something from the middle class, and then

259
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: they go kind of radio silent on or they lie

260
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: about it and say it's bad. All right, and we're

261
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: kind of losing here, so we're gonna roll and thank

262
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: you and shields. I have a merry Christmas to you.

263
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't really hear what you were saying, Uh, Wayne

264
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: in Florida. Hey, Wayne, Hey, I just wanted to remind

265
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: you it's not really a whole home continuing resolution in

266
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: the in the Senate. Since they passed the tax bill

267
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: and it did away with the individual mandate, the Lamar

268
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: Alexander and Patty Murraam and McConnell is going to slap

269
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: on the you can tinuing resolution and sneaking in there

270
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: as an insurance company bailout. So remind everybody to call

271
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: the Wayne you're you're you're an are you die? Fellow?

272
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Well, it means that they're gonna

273
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: end up giving millions to the insurance kudability and whatever

274
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: to the insurance companies saying well, since you're losing all

275
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: these customers, we've got to do something that, you know,

276
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: make up the loss you're gonna take when all these

277
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: customers drop off voluntarily. And so we want to make

278
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: sure that people tell their senators no on the amendment.

279
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: But see, I don't understand why would they bail out

280
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: the whole purpose of repealing the individual mandate as I

281
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: see it is to show everybody that the moment you

282
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: have free choice in these exchanges, they collapse because people

283
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: don't want to buy this stuff. Because a lot of

284
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: people get a bad deal. Why why would they want

285
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: to bail them out? I agree we should not. I

286
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: assume it's a McConnell deal, or somebody's getting some money

287
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: from the insurance companies, some kickback, some finance, some Okay,

288
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: you're our big donors. We need to do something orious.

289
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: They didn't just pull that out of a Yeah. Hey,

290
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: I give Shields tie Wayne, thank you for calling. And

291
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas. I give a Trish Reagan over at Fox

292
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: Business a lot of credit. She's she's pounding the drum

293
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: on the Carrie interest loophole, which is a straight up

294
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: giveaway to private equity and hedge fund guys. And for

295
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: those of you who don't have too much familiarity with

296
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: those businesses, they make a lot of money, and the

297
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: difference between what they pay in taxes on their large

298
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: incomes with the carried interest loophole and without it is like, uh,

299
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, paying half, it's big. It is a big difference.

300
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 1: And yeah, that was just that was the donor class.

301
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: Don't forget it. The donor class is not just alive

302
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: and well but still got a lot of power inside

303
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: the GOP. And this tax cut. Yes, Trump allowed this

304
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: to happen. Without Trump, this doesn't happen. Trump allowed this

305
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: to happen because without him, we don't win the White House. Right,

306
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: But this is a very mainstream, mainline GOP thing. This

307
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: is not a radical tax bill. This is what the GOP.

308
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: The look at Paul Ryan, right, he couldn't be any happier.

309
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: He's like a kid on Christmas a few days before Christmas.

310
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: So just remember this. It's good, but there's some stuff

311
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: in there that's a little annoying, and we shouldn't forget that.

312
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: There's got to be a lot more done. I'm not

313
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: even gonna talk about I'm not gonna be the grinch

314
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: today talks about the debt. But it's a problem. Well,

315
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that some other day. I got your

316
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: calls screens lit. Let's take David in just a moment

317
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: here that he's out of the vote. He's as follows

318
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: in favor against nine abstentions Draft Resolution A slash E

319
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: s nash ten slash L twenty two, he's an update.

320
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: So the u N General Assembly today voted overwhelmingly to

321
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: condemn the United States decision to move a United States

322
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: facility within a sovereign nation and member of the United Nations. Well,

323
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: what are we to make of all this? Really, We've

324
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: got David I Fune online now he's the editor in

325
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: chief of the Alga. Minor David gred to have you back,

326
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: always a pleasant book, I guess today it was not surprising,

327
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: but I think it's at some level still disappointing. David

328
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: in some level, yes, but but in another level not so.

329
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: And I think for two reasons. The festival, you know,

330
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: at the u N to begin with, is deeply problematic,

331
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: and that's very very well known, the sense that it's

332
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: you know, there are automatic majorities of the organization of

333
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: Islamic corporation, the lonline movement, that are against Western interests,

334
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: whatever they are. But I think we have seen some

335
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: some movement in the opposite direction here. If you combine

336
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: the abstentions together with countries that didn't show up, together

337
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: with those countries that voted against, you have about sixty

338
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: one date that refused to play along with this latent

339
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: and engregious degradation of of the u N cause and

340
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: what the UN is supposed to stand for. Um So,

341
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: in that sense, I would say pigeon steps forward. But

342
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: I think the bigger progress is actually on the U

343
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: S front and the US approach to the u N.

344
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: I mean, under the Abama administration, we saw a White

345
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: House that kind of was easier, was eager to curry

346
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: favor with the u N and and seek the approval

347
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: of the international community for various policies. And here you

348
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: have a White House which I think is taking the

349
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: right approach, and that is listen, you know, we we

350
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: know what's right. We're doing the right thing, and we're

351
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: keeping track of those of those other countries that are

352
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: joining us. And by the way, they'll be repercussions because

353
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: everybody needs something from America. What are the reasons for

354
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: so many of these countries, David, that are are far

355
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: away from from Israel, from the territories of Gaza and

356
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: the West Bank. Why do have European countries, for example,

357
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: that are voting to condemn this. Well, I think you know,

358
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of different reasons, but I think you

359
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 1: know that the European countries, by the way I would say,

360
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: have have the least excuse some of the other countries.

361
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: You know, they might say, well, we need the support

362
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: of of Russia, we need the support of the Arab States.

363
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: We need we need to you know, we need to

364
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: kind of be included in these these UN groupings in

365
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: order to have our voice heard at all, because you know,

366
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: we're just a small country, etcetera. So there are there

367
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: are those types of explanations. Certainly, you know, there's the

368
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: ideological explanation, which is the position of the Arab States

369
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: who view Israel as uh the worst thing that ever

370
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: happened uh on the planet, and that's how they act.

371
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: But it's also a distraction from from their own regimes

372
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: and their own behaviors. And they feel if they can

373
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: point the finger at israelis as the world's worst actor

374
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: than they that's gonna distract from their own terrible activities.

375
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, we're talking about authoritarian and and

376
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: and theysposic regime set. Uh. The Europeans you mentioned specifically

377
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: really have no excuse. And I think it's just this

378
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: sort of moral preening which is frankly pathetic. And we're

379
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: starting to see segments of Europe, particularly in Europe. Uh,

380
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: take a step back. You had today the Czech Republic, Latvia, Hungary,

381
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: Poland all abstained, which I would say is a good

382
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: step in terms of a breakaway from European tradition, hopefully

383
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: one that will continue and grow. David I fun Is

384
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: the editor in chief of the Alga Minor, David, does

385
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 1: this set the stage in your mind for an actual

386
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: rejuvenation of the peace process or a restart of the

387
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: peace process in the future. I mean, what what does

388
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: this most likely lead to in terms of the US

389
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: relationship in brokering some kind of a deal in twenty

390
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: eight team between Israel and the Palestinians. But I think

391
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: the vote itself at the u N today is is

392
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: mostly irrelevant in visa vita peace process. It's what the

393
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: vote was about that is more relevant. Now. I mean

394
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: moving the embassy right in terms of moving the embassy right,

395
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: So I think that actually is quite relevant and it's

396
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: it's my personal view that it will do more to

397
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: move the cause of peace forward. You know, this administration

398
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: has has has shown time again and made very clear

399
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: that they're determined to do things differently and that they're

400
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: not going to keep implementing the same policies and then

401
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: expect different results. And one of the things that they've

402
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: shown that they're very prepared to do differently is to

403
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: create some repercussions for the Palestinians, who, in the past,

404
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: I think we spoke a little bit about this last time,

405
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: have always been handled by the US with with kid gloves,

406
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: and I think this is this is just the beginning.

407
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: You know that the US is showing its serious is

408
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: telling the Palestinians you know, you better get down off

409
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: your high horse and play ball because the ticking clock

410
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: is not in your favor over here. H This was

411
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: the first step I think to show how serious the

412
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: US was, But there are a lot more repercussions lined

413
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: up for the posts if they're not prepared to to

414
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: to show goodwill and serious commitment to to to these discussions.

415
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: It also seems like a reminder that at the United

416
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: Nations there is a a fixation on condemning, criticizing, bullying

417
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: Israel that can't be explained by simple state craft. David, Yeah,

418
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: that's true. Even so, ja Jake Pepper, of all people

419
00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: from CNN was tweeting about this earlier today. The stats

420
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: show that that there were twenty one resolutions condemning as

421
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: well at the u N and only five resolutions condemning

422
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: all other countries, one each I think for Syria, North Korea, Russia,

423
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: maybe China and one of the country. So that just

424
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: just gives you a sense of of how this proportion

425
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: it is and how ecregious it is. I mean, of

426
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: course there's criticism to be had for for every country,

427
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: but you know, Israel is a liberal democracy, it's a

428
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: free society. I mean, it's it's it's insanity that really

429
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 1: undercuts everything the United Nations stands for. That this that

430
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: this goes on, and for the US to take a

431
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: step back and say, look, you know, have it your way,

432
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: but we're not going to fit the bill anymore, right,

433
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: or don't expect us to do to do things in

434
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: the same way, which is what the message that the

435
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: President sent yesterday and Nicki Haley sent from the UN

436
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: podium is a correct approach for them to be reconsidering

437
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: their their commitment to the funding to you into the

438
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: tune of twenty percent of its budget for more analysis

439
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: and all the latest going on with Israel and the

440
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: Middle East, go to the ALCA Minor dot com. David

00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: What do you think of Nikki Haley lighting it up

447
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: today at the United Nations? I have to say I

448
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: was quite pleased that and uh more coming up? All right,

Speaker 1: team lines are lit. Let's get to it. Rayab in Florida. Hey,

Speaker 1: what's up? Ray? Hey? Buck? Hey? Can you hear? Yes? Sir? Yes? Yeah?

Speaker 1: I like you show a lot. Thank you. I listened

452
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: to the solution today. I like to add a little

453
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: bit when you were discussion about it, when you mentioned

454
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: the sovereignty and of course we have the right to

455
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: declare or whatever, as long as we don't step from

456
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: somebody else's You mentioned that we're just declaring moving our

457
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 1: embassy to whatever. That's okay, but don't declare you're meeting

458
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: declaring that we're enforcing. Okay, we now we're going to

459
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: declare Jerusalem to be the capital offers. That's what you're right. Well,

460
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: but but if you want to be stayed at fact,

461
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: you have to step the whole thing. How about it

462
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: of Syria or rug But hold on, hold on a second,

463
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: ray Israel. Israel is a sovereign country and a member

464
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: of the United Nations, right, I understand, right, right? So

465
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: so they're the ones that are saying this is our capital,

466
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: and we're the ones who are saying, okay, so we're

467
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: gonna have our embassy in your capital. You're not the

468
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: one who've seen that the capital. You are the one

469
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: who've seen that enforcing that now with the Israelis don't

470
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: think Jerusalem is their capital? Know they agree that they

471
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: had the east part belonged to the Palestinian and the

472
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: west part belong to the Israel. No, they the Israelis

473
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: are pretty sure that Jerusalem is their capital. You need

474
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: to check the history. No, because that you add when

475
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: you only twisting secle like this, you add to the

476
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: oh onto the fire. You know that this area is

477
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: very very very sensitive, and no, I understand that it's

478
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: very very sensitive to both sides. Don't just tick one side.

479
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean, but my friend, the best I gotta I

480
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: gotta ask you, so if you were to right now

481
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: go on and we could probably do this together if

482
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: you want, while we're on air. If you were to

483
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: type in into Google, which is a very well known

484
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: search engine, what is the capital of Israel? You know

485
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: what would come up? Right, the capital Israel. So far,

486
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: Come on, let's do this together. Going to Google, type

487
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: it in paper paper see that now, now we're going.

488
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: Now we're getting a little silly, right because I'm just

489
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: telling you that the Israeli government, which is a country

490
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: and a member nation of the United Nations member state,

491
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: says that Jerusalem is their capital, and that is the

492
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: that is the capital of Israel. So I don't I

493
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: mean the the unwillingness to move the embassy in the

494
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: past was a concession that was unnecessary to begin with.

495
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: But anyway, what my look, I appreciate ray of you

496
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: calling in. We're not gonna get anywhere of this. If

497
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: you say it's not the capital, I'm I'm telling you

498
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: it is. And there's a recognition of reality. It doesn't

499
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: change anything where the US building is with regard to

500
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: whether or not it is the capital. It just shows

501
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: that the US isn't living in some alternative universe. But

502
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate you calling in Uh, yeah, no, the Google.

503
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: The Google will say it for all of you. Jerusalem is,

504
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: in fact the capital Israel. I'm just littit out there.

505
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: Herb in New Jersey? What up? Herb sales high buck?

506
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas time, Merry Christmas to you, sir. I have

507
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: to agree with to Um. I think RAB is a

508
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: little misguided in that. Uh, we haven't. I don't think

509
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: we've declared that Jerusalem is Israel's capital. I think Israel

510
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: did that. I think we just recognized it, just like um.

511
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: So many countries have wisely recognized Israel's right to exist

512
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: as a nation, and so we've recognized Israel's right to

513
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: declare Jerusalem capital. Very simple. Um. The reason I called

514
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: buck is that, Um. I just think, Uh, Nicky Haley

515
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: is the absolute bomb. Um. You know, it's almost like

516
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: if you were to believe in reincarnation, the spirit of

517
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: John Wayne has been reborn. And Nicki Haley because she's

518
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: not afraid to stand there and tell it like it

519
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: is and pretty much not care if you like it

520
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: or not. She's gonna say what's on her mind. She

521
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: did a great she did a great job today. I

522
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: agree with you. And by the way, I would think.

523
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how long till her is gonna want

524
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 1: to stay around. A Secretary of State got to assume

525
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: that Nicky Haley is uh top of the list or

526
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: replace him if if Rex decides he wants to do

527
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: a little more fly fishing and spend his hey, she'd

528
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: she'd have my vote to replace him without without a doubt.

529
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: You know, every time she opens her mouth to the

530
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: u N I leap out of my seat. I throw

531
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: my fist in the air and holler yeah. Of course

532
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: it scares my wife, and one of my dogs runs

533
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: and hides. But I'm just really really proud of her

534
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: when when she represents us in the United Nations and

535
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: she by a president who believes that we have a

536
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: right as the strongest nation in the world, to voice

537
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: our opinion, and we expect our opinion to be respected,

538
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: just like they want us to respect. There's there's a

539
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: new Naudien life list in town. Nicky Haley is kicking

540
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: button and taking names, and I am looking forward to

541
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: seeing that list because I'll buy products from those nine

542
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,719
Speaker 1: nations that agree with us, and the hud that didn't, well,

543
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: I guess what they're not getting any more of my

544
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: money either, all right, her, thanks for the great calling.

00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,520

580
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: a team book. I love it. I love it. We

581
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: spanned the whole and I used to there was this

582
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: lady used to call in, uh and if she's listening,

583
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: you know, we'd love to hear from you. She used

584
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: to call in all the time. On the original Saturday Squad.

585
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: And her name was Irma, and I think she told

586
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: me she was five, and she she would call in

587
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: and she'd have these great calls about like freedom and

588
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: how she fled from Germany and how we need to

589
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: understand what the greatness of America. And she had a

590
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: really she had a cool German accent, and she would

591
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: go on these rants about freedom that were amazing. So

592
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, we get the whole, the whole spectrum

593
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: here fifteen to eighty five or or a hundred and

594
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: five if you're out there, I don't know, you know,

595
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure there might be one or two. Um now

596
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: on not on a non important note for a second.

597
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 1: Here I see two or not as important? Uh, two

598
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: CEOs stepping down. One is Eric Schmidt at Google or what.

599
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he's the CEO. He's some what is

600
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: the chairman or something? Yeah, executive chairman of Alphabet. It's

601
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: not called Google anymore. For those who were I want

602
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: to be in the know, Google is now called Alphabet.

603
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: Well hello, um, he'll be in a technical advisor role.

604
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how important this is or not, but

605
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: I also see and I feel like people are probably

606
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: gonna have some opinions on this one. Papa John's founder

607
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: is out, and this is because, well, why is this?

608
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: Why is the Papa John's Papa John's founder stepping down? Tyrone?

609
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: What do we got? Didn't he do a lot of

610
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: complaining about his sales numbers and blaming the NFL? And yeah,

611
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: there was some NFL stuff and he said some um

612
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: I heard he said some racially insensitive things as well.

613
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: And now at the point he made himself such an

614
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: important part part of that brand that when he went bad,

615
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: the brand can't really recover. And I don't want to

616
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: talk about the product. No, No, I want you to

617
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 1: talk about the product of all the fast food pizza chains.

618
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: Where does Papa John's fall. They're the worst of them

619
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 1: all by a lot. It's not even food. Oh man,

620
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: I can't eat it, so I can't weigh in. I

621
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: would feel guilty giving a hot Papa John's pizza to

622
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: a homeless person. Oh my gosh, that is cold. Amy,

623
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 1: is it the worst? Is it? Yeah? She's Amy, so polite.

624
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: She just gave like a little She's like, oh well, yeah,

625
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: but yeah, Tyrone's calling it like it is. I can't

626
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: say I've never had Papa John's pizza. Uh. In college,

627
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: I did eat way too much dominoes. I blamed the

628
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: freshman thirty on that. But yeah, I did not have

629
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: We did not have Papa John's. Well we will, at

630
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 1: least not that I was aware of. But he stepped down.

631
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, the NFL. NFL was part of this. They're saying, Uh,

632
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 1: do you have any thoughts on the U N Russia

633
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: collusion pizza? So I spoke to you about this big

634
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 1: story on the Obama administration. You talked about this earlier

635
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: in the week where the report is and it's from

636
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: Politico that President Obama decided to uh call off the dog,

637
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: so to speak. He decided to take the pressure off Hesballah,

638
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: and it was because he wanted his administration so so

639
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: very much to get any kind of deal nuclear deal,

640
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: which was a foreign policy legacy item for the Obama

641
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: administration and also would be the one thing the Democrats

642
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: would point to in the Middle East where they'd say, see,

643
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 1: we we accomplished something, because everywhere else the Middle East

644
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: it was just everything burning down to the ground and

645
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: looking terrible under the Obama aministration, really bad. But with

646
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: the Iran deal, they're gonna say, well that it was

647
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: worth all the all the anarchy and suffering and casualties

648
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: and misery that have been endured in areas where Iran

649
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: is engaged in proxy war, has some interest in fomenting bloodshed.

650
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: All that was the price we were willing to pay

651
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: for for Iran deal. But it is new that the

652
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: Obama administration would have said hold on back off of

653
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: Hezbollah because we want this deal. And that includes even

654
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: the importation of drugs into this country. That includes Hesblah's

655
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 1: international criminal networks. Just as North Korea engages in criminal

656
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: activity for profit because it does not care what the

657
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: international community thinks of it, the same is true for Hezblah.

658
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 1: HESBA as a designated terrorist organization, So hesblah uh sells

659
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: its tentacles all over the world, do what they can

660
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: to raise money through a listed means, arms trafficking, drug trafficking.

661
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: They don't care whatever, whatever gets the most cash in

662
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 1: their pockets and they can send back so that Hesblah

663
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: can continue to be this growing cancer in the Middle East.

664
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: But now some people are taking notice of this. First

665
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: of all, you had former Senior before I take it

666
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: to the Republican side. You had former senior advised here

667
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: to the White House on national security. I forget his

668
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: specific title. Uh. I think he was like Deputy National

669
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: Security Advisor for Strategic Communications. I think that was his

670
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: job title. Ben Rhodes, who's part of this? Uh? This

671
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: this crew of of of bros who used to work

672
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: in the Obama White House foreign policy bros. Hey, what's up?

673
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: Remember that guy? I was? It was it. I can't

674
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: remember his name, the guy who went on TV and

675
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: he's like, Benghazi was like two years ago. Bra, Get

676
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: with the Times. Bra. He's like flipping his hair's like

677
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go hang Tan. Yeah, it's like Kianu and

678
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: point break. I shouldn't profane Kiano and point break by

679
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: bringing by bringing this guy into I forget what his

680
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: name though, was, Um, I'll have I'll have it for you.

681
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: In a moment, I think I think, Yeah, it was

682
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: Tommy v. Tour. That's right, Tommy V Tour. I remember

683
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 1: that guy. The only thing I remember about him was

684
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: that when he was on TV, he's like Benghazi was

685
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: two years ago, Bra, and everyone's like, wow, this guy

686
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: is uh, this is the best of the best of

687
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: the Obama administration, doesn't it. So him and one of

688
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: the young speechwriter guys, and then also Ben Rhodes, they

689
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: were kind of the they're out there now defending the

690
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: legacy of the obamaministration and they're really upset with this

691
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: political reporter and they're just going out there saying the

692
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: political reporter is making it up. And Ben Rhodes tweeted

693
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: out along that that that there should be a photo

694
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: of Trump with all of his top people, and that

695
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: was from Phifer the Clinton the clintonisto Dan Pheiffer, and

696
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: then Rhodes responded on Twitter that the photos should be

697
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 1: along the oh bits of and he named a bunch

698
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: of of Trump officials. Just another reminder that these are

699
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: not These are not honorable people were talking about here.

700
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: Just because they have served in some in your capacity

701
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 1: as an appointee in an administration doesn't mean they're honorable people.

702
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: And now they're running around trying to undermine and smear

703
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 1: this political reporter by saying that his stuff is is unsourced,

704
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: it's fake, it's not true. And I give them, I

705
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: give the reporter credit because he is Josh Meyer is

706
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: the guy, and he is stepping up and he's saying sorry.

707
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 1: He responded to one of these Obama acolytes, I'm sorry, man,

708
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: but I'm tired of you guys blatantly lying about my work. Seriously,

709
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: it's beneath you, Ben Rhodes and Tommy Vitor, et cetera.

710
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: You've either not read it or are willfully disregarding the

711
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: many other people quoted, the documents people can link, the

712
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: documents people can link to, and the obvious facts. So

713
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: this guy Meyer knows he's got a He got a

714
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: big piece out this week on this soft peddling Hezbollah

715
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: law enforcement operations. You know, it's it's damaging to the

716
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: Obama's Obama team legacy. And you know this because they're

717
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: going out and Politico is a leftist center. It's it's

718
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: a Democrat friendly outlet. But even even Democrat friendly outlets

719
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: sometimes will find a story that's just too juicy to resist.

720
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: And this was a good one, and we should give

721
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: Josh Meyer a hat tip for it. I mean, he

722
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: he did the reporting, he did the due diligence, but

723
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 1: you have these former Obama people running around saying that

724
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: it's all lies, and he's like, how is it a lie?

725
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: I've got all these sources, well, what's a lie about this?

726
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: And you sense the desperation from them, because the more

727
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: of the American people know the truth about how Obama

728
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,879
Speaker 1: was conducting his foreign policy, the more they'll realize that

729
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: they're in These former Obama officials are in no position

730
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: whatsoever to be h casting aspersions on what Trump has

731
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: done so far. They really they've they've got nothing, nothing

732
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: to show for eight nothing worthwhile here's a show for

733
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,439
Speaker 1: eight years of being in charge. So it's uh, it's

734
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: interesting to see how this plays out. And one more

735
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: thing here, you are beginning to see that Republicans have

736
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 1: I think woken up to what's really happening with the

737
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: whole Russia collusion investigation. This is just the weaponization of

738
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: prosecutors and using investigations as a political tactic. It's not

739
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: the first time it's happened. We've seen it happen before.

740
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: I get all that, But Republicans are realizing what's going

741
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: on here. Even Rand Paul, for example, wants some answers.

742
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 1: We've had this investigation about Russian collusion, maybe we need

743
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: an investigation about high ranking Obama officials colluding to try

744
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: to prevent Trump from being president. That's more serious than

745
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: even water game. I have to say, you know, you

746
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: gotta fight fire with fire at some level. First of all,

747
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: I would argue that there is a much greater likelihood

748
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: of finding collusion or conspiracy could use that term among

749
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: senior level d o J and FBI officials to undermine

750
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: and destroy the Trump campaign and then presidency. Then you

751
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: are that there was some secret plot with the Russians

752
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 1: to turn the election. You are you are much more

753
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: likely defined that to find the former than the ladder.

754
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: But on top of that, Democrats are using this as

755
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: a weapon against the administration. The investigation now I'm not

756
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: even talking about the findings and they know it. That's

757
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: why when they hear that Mueller Mueller's probe might extend

758
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: another year, they're so happy. It's not about justice, it's

759
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: not about finding the truth. The process is the punishment.

760
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: And if they want to play that game, and if

761
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: this is the way it's gonna be, you know what,

762
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: there are some other things we should be looking into.

763
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: You know, you're darn right we should be investing. And

764
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: now they finally are investigating and calling to account senior FBI,

765
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: senior d o J officials who were involved in all this,

766
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:59,760
Speaker 1: making them answer questions before Congress under oath behind closed doors.

767
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: It this should have been happening for a while, and

768
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: now it looks like there's also going to be an

769
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: investigation into uranium one in Hillary Clinton, as their well

770
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 1: should be will we find anything? But if the Mueller

771
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: probe is going on, we want answers to all of it.

772
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: How about that. You know, what's good for the goose

773
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: is good for the gender. What what's the way it's

774
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: gonna be for the Democrats? If they're gonna play politics

775
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: that way? Well, well, what's the alternative? We're gonna sit around,

776
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, be a bunch of never trumpers who are like,

777
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: oh no, we have scruples on principles, We would never

778
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: investigate them unless we were a pent. Sure, Hey, investigating

779
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: is trying to find out, right, they're gonna do this

780
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 1: with the Muller probe, and this is a but I

781
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: will have Then this is a self inflicted wound for

782
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: the Trump administration at some level. Two. Yeah, the narrative

783
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: was created about all the Russia stuff, and it was

784
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: done dishonestly. But they never should have. I said it

785
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: from the ginning. You should not have had Sessions recusing himself.

786
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: You never should have allowed this to happen, and I've

787
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: been consistent on that from day one. This was an nightmare.

788
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 1: This was gonna go on forever. It was not about justice,

789
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: it was not about our you know. This was the

790
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: this was the break in the damn for the Trump team,

791
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: and I'm just it's unfortunate that they couldn't see it

792
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: for what it was. And I don't trust this Rosenstein

793
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: guy at d o J either. I'm just putting that

794
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: out there. I'm not not loving what I'm seeing from

795
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: him either. All Right, we got lines late in here,

796
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: so we want to get to some of those calls.

797
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: Eight four four to eight to five. We will be

798
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: back with a much more stay with me. It's time

799
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: for Bob Mueller to put up her shut up. If

800
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: there's evidence of collusion, let's see it. If there's not,

801
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 1: let's move on as a country, and let's institute reforms

802
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: at the FBI so that an egomaniac FBI director like

803
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 1: James Comey cannot depart from the normal standard procedures that

804
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: guarantee all Americans equal treatment under the law. I agree

805
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: with what Representative Matt gets said there. But unfortunately Muller

806
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 1: prope is not gonna anytime soon. And this at all

807
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 1: the hysteria about it. He's not gonna fire Muller. You

808
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: know they're gonna be running think pieces on that when

809
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna be running an endless loop on c n

810
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: over the holiday. Will will Trump fire Muller will be

811
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: new Yar's eve. Hey, let's take a stop from the

812
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: champagne drinking and let's ask a question. Is Trump gonna

813
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: fire Muller? Because it's just it's just like you know,

814
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: hamsters hitting a pedal or when they you know, when

815
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: they want a snack, like seeing an audience they want

816
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: to hear about how Trump is going to cause a

817
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,959
Speaker 1: constitutional crisis. You know, that's the way it is. Should

818
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: probably watch more MSNBC. I mean MSNBC is crushing seen

819
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: in the ratings for a reason, right, It's probably more interesting,

820
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: I gotta figure. So we've got some calls up here.

821
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 1: Kelly in Florida, thank you for holding Kelly. Hi, Hi,

822
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 1: Hiley like Nicky Haley. Oh Haley, It's okay, it was

823
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: said Kelly here, but I like Haley is good to

824
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: go ahead? Hi, Okay, Well what I was calling about

825
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: with today, I read often new Fox News app that

826
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama said that if women voted against Hillary Clinton,

827
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: they voted against their own voice, and I just I

828
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,359
Speaker 1: just couldn't believe it. It just filled me with so

829
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: much anger for a woman to say that, Um, what

830
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 1: do you mean against her own voice? She had no idea? Well, democrats, Democrats,

831
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: Haley think of of women as a voting block, and

832
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: it's determined, and their ideas and their beliefs and their

833
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: principles are determined first and foremost by gender, not just

834
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: by virtue of being people. Exactly I was. I felt

835
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: like I was a little chest piece in her speech

836
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: wherever she was. I didn't care to read any more

837
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: about it because I was just like, what, what a

838
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: disgrace to women or even to men that highly believe

839
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 1: in women and they're powerful and they do speak their minds. Haley,

840
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: I just want to let you know, by the way,

841
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: that I'm pretty sure that that was, uh that that

842
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: news story, well I remember hearing about that. That was

843
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: quite a quite a while ago, So I think you

844
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: might need to update your Fox app. Yeah, I don't know.

845
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 1: It was, um like Hillary said, Hillary said it this week,

846
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: said Michelle Obama. I don't know if it's just a

847
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: story that they were running again to just, you know,

848
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: kind of get the narrative out there. But I just

849
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm a registered Democrat, and I don't just because I

850
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,399
Speaker 1: have to pick a side. I'm not saying I am

851
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,959
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm a Republican. But I just felt

852
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: like I needed to come on the radio and just

853
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:39,760
Speaker 1: let women know that they don't need to worry about

854
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: what these political figures are saying in their narratives. They

855
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: need to just listen to themselves, listen to their gut.

856
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 1: Is this your Is this your first time Hailey listening

857
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:53,240
Speaker 1: to the show? If I may ask, Um, actually, I've

858
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: listened to you a little bit. Um. I just started

859
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: listening to talk radio in the past eight months. Um.

860
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 1: I so this is clearly your favorite talk radio show. Sure, yeah,

861
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: you're putting me on the spot. But Andre are you?

862
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: What are you like? College? Age? How old you? Haley?

863
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm twenty two. I'm in I'm at my local state college. UM.

864
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: I am interested in pursuing a career in children's um

865
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: in children. UM. I don't know if I'm gonna write

866
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: books or if I'm going to be a teacher or

867
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: if I'm going to help well, team Buck Campus represent Haley.

868
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 1: Have a very merry Christmas, and thank you very much

869
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: for your call. We appreciate it. Uh, Eric on the

870
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: I Heart app in New York. What's all er? Yeah,

871
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 1: Hi Buck, Shield Time, Merry Christmas to you and yours

872
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: Shield Time, Merry Christmas to you and yours, sir. Thank you,

873
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 1: Thank you. Um, I was just wondering on your opinion.

874
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: I know you're joking before about moving the unto something

875
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: like desolate island and the middle of nowhere, which I

876
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:56,760
Speaker 1: think would be completely awesome. But at the same time, though, Um,

877
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 1: while they're here in our country. I know that we

878
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 1: of you know, diplomatic community and stuff like that, But

879
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: to all the people who voted against what we believe in,

880
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: I was wondering, is there anything that you know better

881
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 1: than I do? Is there anything that we could do

882
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:18,399
Speaker 1: to them? Well? They're here? Wait, what do you wait?

883
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: What do you mean? I'm sorry, it's like taking away

884
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: some of their diplomatic privileges or you know, somehow just

885
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 1: being a thrown on their side for voting against Nah,

886
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,399
Speaker 1: we can't, we can't do that. That would mean we're

887
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: operating in bad faith. That's that's that would be a no. No.

888
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 1: We we gotta respect diplomatic protocol too, But we don't

889
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: have to have the United Nations in midtown Manhattan and

890
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,800
Speaker 1: have all these bureaucrats running around with their government expense

891
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: accounts and everything. I'm just saying that that does not

892
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: that does not have to be the case. We could

893
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 1: set up the u N somewhere else. I don't think

894
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: that we get quite the benefits from it that a

895
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 1: lot of people seem to think that we do. Having

896
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: it on on. Well, first of all, having a New

897
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: York is just insane because it's the busiest city in

898
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: the country and that basically shuts down for a few weeks.

899
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: Uh not shuts down, but uh causes gridlock a few

900
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: weeks a year whatever the general assemblies in town. And

901
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of other towns, a lot

902
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: of lovely places in this country. We could set up

903
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 1: the u N. You know, I got big airports. We

904
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: could do the whole thing. So I would be if

905
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm Trump, I would be like, you know what, let's

906
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 1: move it to whatever town that we could use some

907
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: some jobs, a little boost for local local industry. Let's

908
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 1: move the u N there and see how many bureaucrats

909
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: want to show up and hang out. But no, Eric,

910
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: we we can't. We can't penalize them officially for taking

911
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: votes that we don't like while they're here. UM. I agree,

912
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: But I'm sorry to interrupting. Oh you're interrupting. I'm going

913
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 1: on and on. Go ahead. I was just thinking of, like,

914
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: you know, is there a political way that we can

915
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 1: agitate them or just kind of like stick it to

916
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 1: them a little bit. I guess yeah, well Trump is

917
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: saying that we might give them less money, so there's

918
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: that That would be one. Yeah, that would be awesome. Hey, Eric,

919
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: Mary Christmasman, thank you very much for calling in. Um. Yeah,

920
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: there's there's some stuff that we could probably probably do.

921
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: But you know, look, it's a lot of countries, right

922
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: as part of the problem here is that everybody pretty

923
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: much voted, you know, not not with US. I mean,

924
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: Micronesia was like what step off Micronesia, Micronesia was with US. Guatemala, bamn,

925
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: Guatemala stepped up big. I'm trying to think who else,

926
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: off top of my head, who else was on that list? Um?

927
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 1: Was el Salvador with us or I think there was

928
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:32,720
Speaker 1: another Central American country that was not voting. Canada voted,

929
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 1: uh what is it? Um not in an absentia, but

930
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: they voted uh, you know, no, no vote whatever. I'm

931
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: forgetting what the word is. Pardon me for a second

932
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: on that. But okay, Kenn, we'll take that. We'll take that. Canada.

933
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: You know, our brothers and sisters up north in the

934
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 1: in the in the great cold north of Canada. I

935
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: appreciate that they um, they decided abstention. Thank you. They abstained.

936
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 1: That's that's that's good enough. I'll take abstention here the

937
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 1: countries that have and a bunch of other Eastern European

938
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 1: countries substained to who we had the whole list. Guatemala,

939
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking. Okay, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia,

940
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: that's right. Did they can't bring the noise to the

941
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:16,800
Speaker 1: Marshall Islands. Don't try to push around the Marshall Islands. Naaru.

942
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: I believe that's house pronounced yeah. I think that's also

943
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,360
Speaker 1: in the South Pacific. It's got like a three or

944
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: four man army. I think I believe that's how it's pronounced.

945
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 1: Togo and US. So that was that was the United Front.

946
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 1: You know. You know, it's not about the size of

947
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: the dog in the fight, right, It's about the size

948
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 1: of the fighting the dog, that's right. Palau and Micronesia.

949
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: But these are great trivia questions, like if you I

950
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: used to play this game with my little brother, who

951
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: got way too good at it. By the way, I

952
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: was getting very frustrated. Where you'd have a globe and

953
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 1: it would it had a little voice, and it was

954
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 1: like all right here where you go and it would

955
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: it would be like, you know, Vatican City and you

956
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: have to press on the globe where. It was a

957
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: really fun game. It's actually great those of you who

958
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: have kids that you want to get them to uh

959
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: no geography, which is really understudied. I think in schools.

960
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: It's a great game, really really recommended. Um. But yeah, Micronesia,

961
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: these are the ones. I remember, Togo, I remember these

962
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: from from that game, and I you know, these are

963
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: the ones who'd like no and run out of time,

964
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:23,399
Speaker 1: and you know, because you couldn't find some of these

965
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: different different little countries. So okay, so we didn't exactly

966
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 1: have like the great world powers necessarily with US in

967
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,399
Speaker 1: this un vote. But also here's another point to keep

968
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: in mind about this whole u n. General Assembly vote today.

969
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: Whatever what are they gonna do? It means really nothing,

970
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: but it's annoying. It's mostly annoying, and we shouldn't have

971
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: to be annoyed by countries that need us a lot

972
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: more than we need them. All right, eight four four

973
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 1: eight to five, much more coming your way, team, I'll

974
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: be right back. I mean, the big banking profits off

975
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 1: this Republican tax bill are going to make your eyes

976
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 1: roll back in your head. The wealthiest people and the

977
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: most powerful corporations in this country started almost literally scrambling

978
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: to figure out how they're going to handle all the

979
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: money the Republican tax bill just gave them. So when

980
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: your family's taxes go up because of this bill, you

981
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: can take comfort in knowing that that's what you're paying for.

982
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: You're giving telecom companies and the biggest banks in the

983
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: country are really embarrassing amount of money to have to

984
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:29,479
Speaker 1: explain away. It's just embarrassing class warfare from Rachel Matto.

985
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the thing about Matto is she's she's a

986
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: sharp lady. I mean, she's, yeah, she is smart, So

987
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: when she's making stuff up. It's not out of ignorance,

988
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: it's just out of cynicism and opportunism. And how are

989
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: middle class people's taxes gonna go up? I mean, if

990
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: you're a middle class person in a for example, if

991
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: you're a middle class person under this tax bill in

992
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: a blue state that has the state and local tax

993
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: deduction issue, are your taxes really that much? Your property

994
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: taxes that much more than fifteen twenty two dollars a year?

995
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: Not in your your middle class? I mean, now we're

996
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: how expensive is your house? I mean, I know different

997
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: jurisdictions have different taxation, but still, I mean, if you're

998
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: paid like twenty or thirty grand and taxes on your

999
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: house each your your middle class, that must be some

1000
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: house or some high taxation rate you've got. Um. And

1001
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 1: that's just assuming that there are some people. Yeah, that's

1002
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 1: that's taking her as a serious analyst on this issue,

1003
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: when in reality, it's just this is just boo rich

1004
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: people in corporations, We love the middle class. Well, what

1005
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: about the fact that this is going to give of

1006
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: Americans a tax break? And that's as I told you,

1007
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 1: that's in the Brooklyns Institution. What about the fact that

1008
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: it's going to give an average of two thousand dollars

1009
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: in tax cuts to American families. That's bad. I need

1010
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: the Democrats to explain to me where these families are

1011
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: that are gonna have two thousand dollars more once this

1012
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 1: tax code cut goes through that are unhappy about it.

1013
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 1: They are just making it up as they go along.

1014
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: But you know, Chuck Schumer's all sad about it. They're

1015
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 1: failing to reauthorize the Chip program that provides health care

1016
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: for millions of sick kids in the same week that

1017
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: Senate Republicans voted to slash corporate taxes. They're short changing

1018
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 1: millions of middle class Americans who lost their homes to

1019
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 1: wildfires and historic storms. I don't know what. I don't

1020
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 1: know what that's supposed to be about. And this is

1021
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: an unpopular position, I know, but if you don't have

1022
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: insurance on your home and there is a natural disaster,

1023
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: it is not clear to me why the federal government

1024
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: has an obligation to pay for your home. I know

1025
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: that this this is a this people, they're very intense

1026
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: about this, But I say, well, if one person's house

1027
00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: burns down and they don't have insurance. The federal government

1028
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: does not write them a check. But if a thousand

1029
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 1: people's houses are burned down or flooded somehow, there's a

1030
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: federal the federal government's supposed to pay for that. I

1031
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 1: need someone to explain that. I understand the politics behind it,

1032
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: but I don't see a principle there. But I'm not

1033
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: even sure what Chuck is specifically referring to, other than

1034
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 1: is just opposed to this because Republicans got something through

1035
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: that'll help people. And I've given up on trying to

1036
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 1: ring the alarm bell over the debt. People don't want to.

1037
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 1: People just don't want to hear it. Right now, I

1038
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 1: get it, you know, Well, okay, we're gonna live in

1039
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: the now, right and living in the now, this tax

1040
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: bill is a good thing. It is kind of funny.

1041
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: I think it was, Uh, what's the oh gosh, I'm

1042
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: forgetting the name of Sorry, I'm forgetting some names tonight.

1043
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm tired, guys. It's been a long it's been a

1044
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: long year. You know, it's been a lot going on.

1045
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: I'm ready. I've got a little bit of vacation itis

1046
01:00:52,880 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 1: going on. Um but the former bush Um Fleisher, thank you,

1047
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 1: Ari Fleisher. He tweeted out something today and it was

1048
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: the front page of USA today when Obamacare was passed

1049
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,440
Speaker 1: and it was like huge victory and Congress for the

1050
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 1: administration like rare. And then with his tax cut packs

1051
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: getting passed, it was, you know, one point five trillion

1052
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 1: added to the deficit. Oh no, it's like, oh wow,

1053
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: USA today all of a sudden are deficit or debt hawks.

1054
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Oh no, that's so sad. Look this is

1055
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 1: they're allowed to do it. I just I pointed out

1056
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 1: because this is important for understanding what's what that the

1057
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 1: bias is very real. It's not just some thing that

1058
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: Republicans wind about all the time. It's true. Uh, Paul

1059
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: Ryan gives you the other perspective on this thing. We

1060
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: come to these jobs and improve the lives of the

1061
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 1: people we represent, and this bill, more than so many

1062
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: other things we've ever tried of dude does that. And

1063
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 1: so we're very thankful and we're very hopeful because when

1064
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: we've been working on this issue for so many years,

1065
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: we can see on the horizon this great potential for

1066
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 1: our people and for our economy. We know this is

1067
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: the greatest country on earth, and we know that America

1068
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 1: has better days ahead, and we know that America has

1069
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 1: so much more potential to tap. This bill taps that potential. Okay,

1070
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 1: glad to hear it. Oh, I should note that whenever

1071
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 1: I tell you there's not going to be a shutdown,

1072
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 1: and all the history onics and grand standing around it

1073
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 1: is just is laughable at this point. Just remember that

1074
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 1: so far, I'm I'm Batton batten a thousand on that one.

1075
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 1: I was gonna say bat in a hundred percent, But

1076
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 1: then people would know how little I know about baseball.

1077
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, No, that would have been that would have

1078
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 1: been embarrassing. I just missed that one. Bat in a thousand,

1079
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 1: uh sixty thirty two. The senters voted to extend the

1080
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: debt ceiling. You know can in resolution no no shutdown

1081
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 1: and no showdown either about immigration or any of the

1082
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 1: hot button issues that we're supposed to be. We were

1083
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 1: told at least we're going to be contained in this

1084
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: series of debt ceiling fights. Nope, they don't want to

1085
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 1: have it that. They don't want to have the fight.

1086
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: We there is a I guess I'm going to talk

1087
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 1: about the debt. I promise you I wouldn't because it's

1088
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:24,920
Speaker 1: ba humbug of me, But there is a bipartisan consensus

1089
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 1: in this country that is unbreakable right now that we

1090
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: are going to spend ourselves, and we're going to spend

1091
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: until it hurts. Literally, We're going to spend until stuff

1092
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 1: starts to go south, and let's just hope that at

1093
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 1: that point will be it won't be so bad, and

1094
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 1: then the deterioration won't be so rapid that it's unfixable,

1095
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: because just just raising taxes is not going to be enough.

1096
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: If we get to the point where interest rates rise

1097
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 1: and you're you're more or less paying in interest what

1098
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: we pay for the military each year, that's not an

1099
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:02,919
Speaker 1: unthinkable situation. So okay, you know, we're we're we're. It's

1100
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 1: bipartisan both parties. Nobody wants to touch it. Everyone just

1101
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 1: wants to go forward with what we've got, all right,

1102
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 1: fun that's where we are. I'm not going to be

1103
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 1: the one guy standing on the island. I guess I

1104
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 1: am the one guy saying, but I'm not gonna be

1105
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: sitting around too much yelling about the debt because until

1106
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 1: something goes wrong, it's just you're fighting a losing battle.

1107
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: I will remind us occasionally of it. But it's not fun. Right,

1108
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,960
Speaker 1: It's Christmas time. Every everybody gets the present. Now it's

1109
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 1: tax code cut, baby, it's gonna be great. And we

1110
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: now have an extension of a debt ceiling too, so

1111
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 1: the government is we don't even extract concessions from the

1112
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: other side over the extension of the debt ceiling, which

1113
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 1: is just means that we It's like the government has

1114
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: a credit card and we're saying, well, we just needed

1115
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 1: we need to extend that line of credit. We need

1116
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 1: to make it even bigger. And instead of saying, all right,

1117
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: well we'll do that, but we want x ra y now,

1118
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 1: we're like, yeah, just do it. You know, I'm on

1119
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: fifty in the hole. You know, let's let's throw a

1120
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 1: capital one card on their toil. Let's make it sixty.

1121
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: You know, let's just keep going on in and going

1122
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 1: and going. Okay, but hey, two thoud dollars in your

1123
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 1: pocket's gonna be nice. I agree. And how this will

1124
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 1: work out for corporations, Well, we've seen all these bonuses

1125
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 1: getting passed around. We've seen a lot of companies, including Comcast,

1126
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: which I believe owns MSNBC, which means that technically Rachel

1127
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: matt Out may in fact herself be receiving a little

1128
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 1: financial assistance. I think she makes about ten million dollars

1129
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 1: a year, so she probably does not care. But I'm

1130
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 1: just saying Trump's doing her a solid. She may not

1131
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: see it that way, but Trump is doing her a solid.

1132
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 1: I want to tell you about a story, though that

1133
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 1: did not get much coverage, that is a that is

1134
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 1: a big deal and has to do with lethal assistance

1135
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 1: to Ukraine and just disassembling this narrative of Trump as

1136
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 1: Putin's poodle scarbage, and we've got really good evidence as

1137
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 1: to why it's garbage. I'll tell you about it right

1138
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 1: after break. I want to highlight a story that absolutely

1139
01:05:56,800 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 1: decimates the prevailing narrative from the last year in the media.

1140
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 1: If you ever have the misfortune of being stuck on

1141
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: a treadmill or in an airport, you may have seen

1142
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 1: CNN or MSNBC. And there's a very good chance that

1143
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: if that happened you, at some point, we're told or

1144
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: heard that Trump is essentially a puppet of Russia. In fact,

1145
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 1: earlier this week, the former Director of National Intelligence James

1146
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 1: Clapper to you and just sort of, you know, mutters

1147
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 1: about stuff. He said that Putin treats Trump like an asset,

1148
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 1: meaning he has handled like somebody in intelligence would use

1149
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: an asset a spy. Right, that he's running him, that

1150
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: he is handling him. This is this is troubling stuff,

1151
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 1: and it's not true. That's why it's so disgraceful to

1152
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 1: hear this. But the media will say, no, Trump doesn't

1153
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 1: say anything mean about Putin, as though that's going to

1154
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: solve anything. Trump doesn't do anything that shows his disdain

1155
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 1: for Russia, and so he must be in the pocket

1156
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 1: of the Russians. And they they have no evidence of

1157
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 1: this other than he doesn't pick fights with Putin and

1158
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 1: occasionally says things about how he kind of likes Putin.

1159
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 1: And I would just point out that there is a

1160
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: story now that is irrefutable that punches that narrative right

1161
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 1: in the face. The Trump administration has just approved lethal

1162
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 1: weapons sales to Ukraine for the first time since the

1163
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 1: conflict between Ukraine and Russia broke out in Eastern Ukraine.

1164
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 1: Now it's complicated. The Eastern Dawn Boss region is a

1165
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 1: separatist region. There are a lot of Ukrainians who are

1166
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 1: fighting there. There are Russian irregulars, paramilitaries and Russian regulars

1167
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: there too, and it is a war through deception. It

1168
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 1: is maskarov. The Russians are engaged in warfare without it

1169
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 1: being open, meaning that they have people there that are

1170
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: either that are not in uniform, that are pretending to

1171
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 1: be Ukrainian. They're sending munitions, but they try to make

1172
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 1: it munitions that are not identifiable with the cremlinal though

1173
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 1: they really kind of are. So Russia has been engaged

1174
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:26,799
Speaker 1: in pushing an insurgency in Ukraine, which is a country

1175
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:30,639
Speaker 1: that under the Budapest Memorandum, the US, Russia, and Great

1176
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 1: Britain are obligated to defend against territorial and aggression. The

1177
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 1: Obama administration refused any sales of lethal weapons to Ukraine

1178
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:46,439
Speaker 1: to help it defend itself against the Russians. And right

1179
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: now it's largely a trench warfare. I mean not in

1180
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 1: the old World War one sense, but it's static positions

1181
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 1: where there's not a lot of movement. There's some shelling

1182
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 1: and they're sniping and you're loosing. You have the Ukrainian

1183
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 1: military taking a casualty every few days. You've got about

1184
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 1: sixty thousand Ukrainian military against thirty or so thousand irregulars,

1185
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:17,800
Speaker 1: Russian paramilitaries and you know spet SNAs all that. So

1186
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 1: now the Trump administration comes along and says will allow

1187
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 1: for a forty one million dollar deal with the Tennessee

1188
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:33,759
Speaker 1: based Barrett firearms manufacturer. They're gonna be able to sell

1189
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 1: M one oh seven A one sniper rifles, ammunition and accessories.

1190
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:43,759
Speaker 1: Barrett fifty Cow sniper rifles are now getting sent to Ukraine.

1191
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. This a nois Moscow. This

1192
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 1: means that there will now be some Russians who have

1193
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 1: to keep their heads down more in Ukraine, and there

1194
01:09:55,960 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: will be probably some Russians who get hit the taken

1195
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:04,639
Speaker 1: off the battlefield k i A. Because of these Barrett

1196
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 1: fifty Cows. They really want these over there in Ukraine.

1197
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 1: They need better long range sniper rifles and this will

1198
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 1: give them that. And it's not a it's not a

1199
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 1: total game changer. I'm not gonna overstate the battlefield impact here,

1200
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 1: but this is the US giving guns to a country

1201
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 1: that is effectively engaged in a war against a covert

1202
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:35,679
Speaker 1: Russian presence. Imagine for a moment, if we were giving

1203
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:41,720
Speaker 1: weapons to say a a an Arab militia in Syria

1204
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:45,679
Speaker 1: so that it could shoot at Russian soldiers. They would

1205
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 1: have that would get them really upset. And Ukraine they

1206
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,080
Speaker 1: care a lot more about than they do than they

1207
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:53,679
Speaker 1: do Syria. But you see, this doesn't fit the narrative

1208
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:57,360
Speaker 1: at all. This is contra the narrative because Putin is

1209
01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:02,680
Speaker 1: going to be ticked off for this. This is the

1210
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 1: kind of stuff that gets the Russians really upset. This

1211
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 1: isn't all you know, we said something tough at the

1212
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 1: G twenty about Russia. You know, Obama can say tough

1213
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:15,600
Speaker 1: things and do nothing. This is action from the Trump administration,

1214
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 1: and it is before people try to dismiss it. Obama

1215
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 1: resolutely refused to do this, despite the aggression of the

1216
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:27,680
Speaker 1: Russians against Ukraine, despite dismembering that country an ally of

1217
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 1: the United States that could be brought into NATO at

1218
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: some point in the future. It's not a NATO country.

1219
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,040
Speaker 1: But despite all that that, the Obama administration was like, no, no,

1220
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 1: We're just gonna send along non lethal help. Well, why

1221
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:44,880
Speaker 1: make that distinction if it wasn't a big deal. It

1222
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:47,759
Speaker 1: is a big deal, and it's going to annoy the Russians.

1223
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 1: Now you can talk about whether or not that's a

1224
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 1: good move, but it certainly flies in the face of Oh,

1225
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:58,720
Speaker 1: Trump just does whatever Putin wants him to do. So

1226
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:01,639
Speaker 1: remember this data point because the next time somebody tells

1227
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,759
Speaker 1: you Trump is a Putin puppet, say really, because Trump

1228
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: is the reason that they are now sniper rifles going

1229
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 1: to Ukraine that are gonna be used to shoot at

1230
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 1: Russian soldiers who have invaded Ukraine. So you're gonna tell

1231
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 1: me what exactly that Trump that Putin wants that to happen.

1232
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:22,640
Speaker 1: I don't think so. And it's also very powerful as symbolism.

1233
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 1: This is the US taking a concrete step to assist

1234
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 1: Ukrainians on the battlefield against pro Russian separatists and Russian paramilitaries.

1235
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:36,760
Speaker 1: It's a big deal. Don't let the anti Trump never

1236
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 1: Trump deluded. Uh loony's pretend like this is nothing, because

1237
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 1: it's not. And then you also have the US using

1238
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:54,360
Speaker 1: the Magnitsky Act. Again, there's more sanctions too, So these

1239
01:12:54,400 --> 01:13:00,160
Speaker 1: are things that the narrative, uh you know, they've can

1240
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:03,600
Speaker 1: pose new sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Act. That just

1241
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: happened too. But these are things that Russia doesn't like

1242
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: and they're not You're gonna see this now, people that

1243
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: say that Trump does Russia's bidding and he does whatever

1244
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 1: Putin wants, They're just gonna try to ignore this because

1245
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:21,519
Speaker 1: especially the sniper rifles going to Ukraine, that is a

1246
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 1: big problem for those who are running with this. All

1247
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 1: Trump is, you know, the Kremlin has video of him

1248
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:30,479
Speaker 1: and there they could destroy him, and he'll do anything

1249
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 1: they say. And you know, why doesn't Trump say more

1250
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 1: mean things about Putin? I don't know, maybe because Putin

1251
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 1: is running a country that still has thousands of nuclear

1252
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:41,960
Speaker 1: missiles and could be a real problem for us. It's

1253
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 1: amazing how much Democrats want the president of the United

1254
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: States too recklessly antagonize the head of state of a

1255
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:53,439
Speaker 1: country that we think is, you know, got a bad government,

1256
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: and it does, and Putin's a thug and all that

1257
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:58,480
Speaker 1: stuff is true, but we still have to deal with them.

1258
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:00,080
Speaker 1: There's no world in which we get to do to

1259
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,120
Speaker 1: ignore the Russians, box them in and act like they're

1260
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 1: not a problem. So you have a lot of people

1261
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:07,640
Speaker 1: that are really disingenuous about this, and I wanted to

1262
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:09,640
Speaker 1: tell you about that. It's important to you remember it

1263
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 1: sniper rifles in the hands of the Ukrainian military. They're

1264
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:16,600
Speaker 1: gonna be shooting at some Russians with it. Trust me,

1265
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 1: the Kremlins upset about it, and trust me, the media

1266
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: doesn't want to tell you this because it shatters the

1267
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 1: narrative of putin controls. Trump. We're rolling to a quick

1268
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,559
Speaker 1: break your team when we come back. I'm talking about

1269
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:31,960
Speaker 1: a terror attack in Australia that may not be terror,

1270
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:38,720
Speaker 1: may just be somebody who is having had a psychological breakdown.

1271
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 1: But I'll analyze it and we'll work through it together.

1272
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:45,559
Speaker 1: We'll see is it terror, is it not terror. I'll

1273
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 1: get to that with you in just a few moments.

1274
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 1: Stay with me. You are now entering the Technical Operations Center.

1275
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 1: Programs must be kept strictly need to know team, but

1276
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:04,960
Speaker 1: it is cleared and ready for the butt brief. A

1277
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 1: mass casualty vehicle ramming attack in Australia that you probably

1278
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:14,120
Speaker 1: have heard nothing or very little about. Why is that?

1279
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:18,599
Speaker 1: Here are the details from earlier today. A suspect drove

1280
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 1: an suv into a crowd of people on a busy

1281
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:28,439
Speaker 1: Melbourne street early on Thursday, injuring nineteen people. They're calling

1282
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:33,679
Speaker 1: this an act of evil. Now you may be thinking,

1283
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 1: is this terrorism? And I want to walk you through

1284
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:43,640
Speaker 1: how we should view and analyze this situation because it is,

1285
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 1: I believe emblematic of many of the problems of our

1286
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 1: media right now. I know this is in Australia, but

1287
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 1: in the western world, UH, and Australians have to deal

1288
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:58,679
Speaker 1: with similar terrorism issues to the United States. So let's

1289
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:01,719
Speaker 1: break this down to get other shall we. Let's look

1290
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 1: at the way it's being reported and then connect some

1291
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 1: of the dots, because this is, by the percentages, being

1292
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:15,760
Speaker 1: completely misreported, although I cannot definitively say that they have

1293
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 1: gotten it wrong just yet. But let me tell you

1294
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 1: what we know. UH. The driver of the suv was

1295
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 1: in fact a Muslim Afghan immigrant who became a permanent

1296
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 1: citizen in Australia. His name is sided Neuri, and he

1297
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:39,680
Speaker 1: was known to authorities as a drug user. He had

1298
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:43,600
Speaker 1: been arrested in the past, and he was on what

1299
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 1: the Australians referring to as a mental health plan, so

1300
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 1: he had been treated for mental health issues. They're saying

1301
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 1: that this is not a terrorist related incident, but I

1302
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 1: would point out that they're saying it is not connected

1303
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:03,240
Speaker 1: terrorism based on what they know so far, and they

1304
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 1: are pointing to the fact that yeah, there's nothing in

1305
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 1: there's nothing on this individual that has ISIS paraphernalia. There's

1306
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 1: nothing that yet has jumped out to say that this

1307
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 1: was done on behalf of the Islamic State. But let's

1308
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:22,639
Speaker 1: look at some of the coincidences so far. First of all,

1309
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,600
Speaker 1: Australia has a Muslim population of about two and a

1310
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 1: half percent, so that the perpetrator here falls in that

1311
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 1: two and a half percent, and we know that from

1312
01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 1: within the Muslim world you have a disproportionate share of

1313
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 1: vehicle terrorist attacks. That's already quite a big coincidence. Now,

1314
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 1: that's not to say that it could not be the

1315
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:49,479
Speaker 1: case that sided Norri here was just a crazy person

1316
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 1: and was not in fact tied to or acting on

1317
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 1: behalf of the Islamic State. But it is to say

1318
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:01,960
Speaker 1: that it would be unlikely under circumstances that he had

1319
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 1: no ji hottest intent whatsoever. Based on the numbers, I

1320
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 1: think the overwhelming likelihood is that if in fact Nori,

1321
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:16,400
Speaker 1: who is currently in a hospital in Australia under armed guard,

1322
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 1: reveals that his intent was to act on behalf of

1323
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:23,720
Speaker 1: the Islamic State, which has been telling its adherents it's

1324
01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 1: ideological sympathizers to use vehicle attacks just like this at

1325
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 1: a similar target set to what just happened in Melbourne

1326
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 1: and and over the holidays. As we know, there's a

1327
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:42,760
Speaker 1: greater likelihood of these kinds of attacks to begin with.

1328
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:47,080
Speaker 1: But when we find out, if we find out that

1329
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 1: side Nori formally of Afghanistan, now a permanent resident to

1330
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:55,600
Speaker 1: Australia was acting on behalf of the Islamic State, it

1331
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 1: will be a new story that comes out in a

1332
01:18:57,200 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 1: few days. It will be muted. And I can tell

1333
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:02,880
Speaker 1: you that many of the journalists right now who are

1334
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: rushing to say it was not connected to terrorism won't

1335
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 1: be rushing to say actually it was. You see, how

1336
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: could they know unless there was an ISIS flag graped

1337
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 1: over the hood of the car or something that within

1338
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 1: the opening minutes of a terrorist or opening hours after

1339
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:24,720
Speaker 1: a terrorist attack, that it was in fact terrorism. You

1340
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,599
Speaker 1: can only look at the likelihood. You can look at

1341
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:32,080
Speaker 1: the percentages and make an educated guess at this stage.

1342
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 1: But notice how the press likes to point out what

1343
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:38,839
Speaker 1: we don't know right away and state that as a fact.

1344
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:43,719
Speaker 1: So that it is a placeholder, no connection to terrorism.

1345
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 1: When that changes, If it changes, there'll be much less

1346
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 1: attention on the subject. This is the way that they

1347
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 1: express a preference. This is how, whether in Australia or

1348
01:19:53,439 --> 01:20:00,120
Speaker 1: here in the US, the left wing uh anti islamophobic media, you,

1349
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 1: because they're always on the lookout for Islamophobia, finds ways

1350
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:06,320
Speaker 1: to make sure that these attacks are put in a

1351
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 1: specific context and they take some of the attention and

1352
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:14,760
Speaker 1: the political heat off of these incidents by doing it

1353
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 1: this way. Now, they would point out, and I'm aware

1354
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: of this, just this, I've been through this, right. I

1355
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 1: was most recently on the Halloween attack. I was over

1356
01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 1: at Fox and they brought on a detective right before

1357
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:31,720
Speaker 1: me from the NYPD, my former you know h employer,

1358
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 1: and the guys like, this is a terrorist attack, and

1359
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:37,599
Speaker 1: he said that right after I said, look, I think

1360
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:41,559
Speaker 1: it's overwhelmingly likely that I'm sorry, Jee Hottest terror attack, right,

1361
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:43,759
Speaker 1: And I said, look, I think this is overwhelmingly likely

1362
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:46,639
Speaker 1: that it's a Je Hottest terror attack. But we don't

1363
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:49,800
Speaker 1: yet have some key facts and places. We didn't know

1364
01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:52,640
Speaker 1: anything about the driver at this point. We all he

1365
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 1: knew was that he had mowed down a bunch of people.

1366
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 1: And the reason that I didn't just run out there

1367
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 1: and say, well, it is a terror attack, as this

1368
01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:01,479
Speaker 1: detective who went on Fox before me did or right

1369
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 1: after me, I should say, is because there was that

1370
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:08,800
Speaker 1: incident in Times Square where a guy just ran into

1371
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of people, right and he wasn't He wasn't

1372
01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:15,879
Speaker 1: a g hottest. I believe he was hispanic if memory serves,

1373
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:18,680
Speaker 1: and he would. He just essentially snapped, He had a

1374
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:22,839
Speaker 1: mental break and engaged in an act of of evil

1375
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:26,200
Speaker 1: without a political motivation behind it. And that had happened

1376
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:29,559
Speaker 1: here in New York. So I understand that there are

1377
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:34,120
Speaker 1: possibilities for these things. There are different options, but I

1378
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 1: look at the probabilities and try to come up with

1379
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 1: a reasonable analysis, of reasonable assessment of what's most likely

1380
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 1: what's going on in any given situation. In Australia, in

1381
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:50,360
Speaker 1: there was another car attack in Melbourne where six people

1382
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:54,480
Speaker 1: were killed and thirty others were wounded. And the individual

1383
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:59,960
Speaker 1: responsible was known as Dimitrios Garga Sulus and he also

1384
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 1: it had mental health problems, engaged in illicit drug use,

1385
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:07,120
Speaker 1: and had a history of family violence. Now, what was

1386
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 1: much less report was that at trial he had yelled

1387
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:12,759
Speaker 1: out that the Muslim faith is the correct faith according

1388
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 1: to the whole world. Was that just the rantings of

1389
01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 1: a person who was disturbed or were the Australian Was

1390
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 1: the Australian press just really happy to assume that that

1391
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:28,720
Speaker 1: had no greater meaning and that he hadn't converted. Keep

1392
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:32,880
Speaker 1: in mind, conversion to Islam is possible, and I think

1393
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:35,679
Speaker 1: very few reporters know this. All one has to do

1394
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 1: is recite the Arabic words that comprise what's known as

1395
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:42,639
Speaker 1: the testimony of faith or the Shahada, which is law

1396
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 1: la illa lah Mohammed Allah. So that's there is no

1397
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:51,840
Speaker 1: God but God, and Mohammed is the messenger of God.

1398
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:54,640
Speaker 1: And if you say that and you mean it in

1399
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 1: your heart and that is your belief, you you have

1400
01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 1: become a Muslim. And you have to except that the

1401
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,800
Speaker 1: Koran is is the revelation of God, and you have

1402
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 1: to have a belief in judgment day. But the truth

1403
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:11,160
Speaker 1: is that the media is not particularly curious about the

1404
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:14,599
Speaker 1: ease with which one could technically become a Muslim, and

1405
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:17,559
Speaker 1: so they would rather just say that somebody is mentally

1406
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 1: disturbed and move on from there. And that's why with

1407
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:24,599
Speaker 1: this case just from earlier today of said Noori running

1408
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:28,440
Speaker 1: over a bunch of people on a busy street in Melbourne, Australia,

1409
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:34,080
Speaker 1: right before the Christmas holiday, there is this desire to say, well,

1410
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 1: we we don't have smoking gun evidence of terrorism, so

1411
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 1: let's just call this an active evil and move on

1412
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 1: from there. And if in fact this guy starts ranting

1413
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:45,120
Speaker 1: from his hospital bed about how he did this for Allah,

1414
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:47,160
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that that will be reported on

1415
01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 1: page c seventeen of the Aussee Herald Sun and nobody

1416
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 1: will really pay much attention to it at all. Journalists

1417
01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:59,320
Speaker 1: believe that they're making a moral choice here, and it's

1418
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 1: important that we all understand that they think that, on balance,

1419
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:08,599
Speaker 1: doing what they can to diminish the outrage that people

1420
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:13,080
Speaker 1: may feel about a Muslim immigrant to Australia engaging in

1421
01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:16,559
Speaker 1: a mass casualty attack, they think that that's worth it,

1422
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 1: even if it means there has to be some dishonesty

1423
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:23,559
Speaker 1: in the process. Is Sidnria of Australia possibly just a

1424
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:26,799
Speaker 1: deranged person who did not believe that he was acting

1425
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:32,280
Speaker 1: on behalf of jihad or isis specifically, it's possible, but

1426
01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 1: I view it as highly unlikely. And I also think

1427
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:37,920
Speaker 1: that we have to look at the background of the

1428
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:40,920
Speaker 1: media that reports on all this and understand that they

1429
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:43,639
Speaker 1: come at it not looking for the truth, but with

1430
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:48,800
Speaker 1: an agenda, and that agenda is we must combat Islamophobia,

1431
01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:52,759
Speaker 1: even if it means we have to mislead or lie

1432
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 1: to the public who we are supposed to as our

1433
01:24:56,439 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 1: first priority tell the truth. So that's my assessment what

1434
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 1: happened in Australia, and I, unlike the rest of the media,

1435
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 1: will follow up with what happens there. All right, Tim,

1436
01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 1: I'll be right back, Stay with me. Do you think

1437
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:11,960
Speaker 1: his resignation was a good idea? I did not publicly

1438
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:14,559
Speaker 1: call for his resignation because we are a colleague and

1439
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:18,400
Speaker 1: we had many many talks over that time. So that's

1440
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 1: a Senator Amy klobschar It was like, I didn't call

1441
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 1: for his resignation. They've given us a date. Everybody they

1442
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 1: say the office is said it's January second. What I love, though,

1443
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 1: is that some of you still don't believe it. And

1444
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:33,559
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying that's where

1445
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:36,680
Speaker 1: we are now when it comes to what's reported and

1446
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:40,800
Speaker 1: also the way the Democrats do business. Even when the

1447
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 1: official announcement comes out from the office, there are questions,

1448
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 1: and I think that we all have a lot of questions,

1449
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:51,000
Speaker 1: given that this past year has been a particularly tough

1450
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 1: one for the media. There's some some epic media fails

1451
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:00,599
Speaker 1: in seventeen that I figured to be a little fond

1452
01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 1: to go back and take a little trip down memory

1453
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:07,719
Speaker 1: lane with some of them, like, for example, the whole

1454
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:10,719
Speaker 1: Hillary What Happened tour and how that all came together?

1455
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 1: Play that one think in your book you talk about

1456
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 1: alternate nostril breathings? What is that? And dare you give

1457
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 1: me a demonstrate at this stage in your life, does

1458
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 1: even having to ask yourself the question of why her?

1459
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:28,519
Speaker 1: Do you give the absolution to those who didn't vote,

1460
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:30,679
Speaker 1: to women who didn't know? Welcome back to my interview

1461
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 1: with former Secretarist State Hillary Clinton. Is now subject to

1462
01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:38,160
Speaker 1: a brief interruption because of this important video of a

1463
01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:44,639
Speaker 1: sneezing candec alright, um, I'm secretary. Um what's your favorite

1464
01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:52,400
Speaker 1: flavor of ice cream? Oh? The hard questions, how did

1465
01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:56,599
Speaker 1: you get out of bed in the morning? Because I

1466
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 1: did not run for president and I could barely do

1467
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:03,160
Speaker 1: it well. She There was so much warmth for Hillary

1468
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 1: of the media this year, despite the fact that what

1469
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 1: happened was a disaster. And it is, if anything, I

1470
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:12,639
Speaker 1: think one of the the years that we will look

1471
01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:16,599
Speaker 1: back on and think to ourselves, this is when never

1472
01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: again will we be force fed that the media is

1473
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:27,439
Speaker 1: this objective standard bearer of truth. I think is is

1474
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:29,519
Speaker 1: the year that it finally was the point of no return.

1475
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 1: We are now in an opinion journalism universe. We are

1476
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:36,880
Speaker 1: now in a country in which we can all I

1477
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:40,720
Speaker 1: think finally accept or or we should, whether they let

1478
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:42,720
Speaker 1: us or not. Not. Everyone's going to agree with me

1479
01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 1: on this. Not everyone's going to be willing to sign

1480
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:47,280
Speaker 1: off on it. But I don't care. It's the truth.

1481
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:51,479
Speaker 1: We are in a partisan media environment, and this was

1482
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:55,760
Speaker 1: the year because Trump was the president that that it

1483
01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:58,439
Speaker 1: finally just all came apart. They no longer could keep

1484
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:02,120
Speaker 1: up the facade. That's really one of the great benefits

1485
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:04,680
Speaker 1: of Trump is um is that now we look at

1486
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 1: the major media outlets and we think to ourselves, oh, wow,

1487
01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 1: look at that. It could not be more clear how

1488
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:17,160
Speaker 1: much they disdain this president versus how much they adored

1489
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:21,799
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, even I think to the point where finally

1490
01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:25,840
Speaker 1: it has it has dawned upon most of the major

1491
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:29,639
Speaker 1: left wing outlets that Hillary is no longer really a

1492
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:34,560
Speaker 1: viable political candidate, although I should know today they were

1493
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 1: there were stories today about how Hillary may get involved

1494
01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 1: in the twenty eighteen mid term, and I just I

1495
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:45,840
Speaker 1: hope that she shows up at as many battleground states

1496
01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:49,759
Speaker 1: as possible and is a reminder to every undecided voter

1497
01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:55,160
Speaker 1: of what they could have had amazing. That's you know,

1498
01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:58,880
Speaker 1: if I'm Donald Trump, I would be encouraging her in

1499
01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:01,800
Speaker 1: every way possible. You know, come on, Hillary, get out there,

1500
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:04,200
Speaker 1: Go go fight for the team, you know, go push

1501
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 1: for the Democrats on the campaign trail, because the Clinton

1502
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:11,840
Speaker 1: dynasties finally come to an end, and it was a

1503
01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:15,600
Speaker 1: moment of a psychological break. I think for much of

1504
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:18,920
Speaker 1: the mainstream media, they had this vision of the future,

1505
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:22,519
Speaker 1: and this ties very directly into the resistance and never

1506
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:24,679
Speaker 1: Trump is um. They had this vision of the future

1507
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:28,639
Speaker 1: where it would just be eight years of wonderful Hillary

1508
01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:34,000
Speaker 1: Clinton access and progressive policy, and it was all just

1509
01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:36,800
Speaker 1: going to be exactly what they wanted, and it was

1510
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:38,640
Speaker 1: taken from them. You know, this was the year the

1511
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:41,320
Speaker 1: media found out that there is no progressive Santa Claus.

1512
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:44,960
Speaker 1: It is in fact not going to be what they

1513
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:48,240
Speaker 1: had anticipated. The president would not be the president that

1514
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:51,800
Speaker 1: they had hand picked for the American people. So that

1515
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:56,880
Speaker 1: was one major component in losing so much respect or

1516
01:29:57,360 --> 01:30:00,439
Speaker 1: whatever respect you had left for the mainstream Let's this

1517
01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:03,599
Speaker 1: year other than Fox, the the non Fox media as

1518
01:30:03,640 --> 01:30:07,320
Speaker 1: some call it. And then there was the other major

1519
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:10,880
Speaker 1: political story this year because it is a political story

1520
01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:17,720
Speaker 1: about Russia. Russia, Russia, that's an obstruction of justice. You

1521
01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:20,000
Speaker 1: were saying that this could lead down the road to impeachment,

1522
01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:23,679
Speaker 1: but we weren't anywhere near that yet. Does this breaking

1523
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:27,280
Speaker 1: news tonight change your view on that? Are true? Are

1524
01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:31,120
Speaker 1: we getting closer and closer to the possibility of yet

1525
01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:35,559
Speaker 1: another impeachment process? So in terms of impeachment, are you

1526
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:39,439
Speaker 1: taking action, working with Republicans, are doing anything that would

1527
01:30:39,439 --> 01:30:42,840
Speaker 1: actually move that agenda for you? Do you harbor any

1528
01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 1: hopes that you will find a conservative legal mind to

1529
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:51,400
Speaker 1: match your desire to proceed with impeachment on are you

1530
01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:55,680
Speaker 1: suggesting that President Trump should face impeachment? No, I'm not

1531
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:58,600
Speaker 1: suggesting that the Congressman. What is your case for impeachment?

1532
01:30:58,880 --> 01:31:01,639
Speaker 1: Explain what do you say get this impeacement possibility? What's

1533
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:04,840
Speaker 1: more needed to prove it? Obstructive justice and the pressive

1534
01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:07,160
Speaker 1: fires the guy coming after them after asking to drop

1535
01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:13,600
Speaker 1: the case. From where do you need Well, yeah, Chris Matthews, everybody,

1536
01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:16,240
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of people pushing impeachment as

1537
01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:23,080
Speaker 1: a storyline, a lot of very fancy journalists given tremendous platforms,

1538
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:28,680
Speaker 1: running around talking about treason and collusion and impeachment and

1539
01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:32,519
Speaker 1: maybe even imprisonment for the president, all that, and yet

1540
01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:36,400
Speaker 1: here we are one year in, more or less soon

1541
01:31:36,479 --> 01:31:41,559
Speaker 1: to be officially one year in, and there is nothing

1542
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:44,200
Speaker 1: to substantiate any of this. And I always think it's

1543
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:47,679
Speaker 1: so interesting, And I've had this situation a few times

1544
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:51,040
Speaker 1: on TV, and then also, as one does these days,

1545
01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:55,320
Speaker 1: everyone is now a a social media pugilist who is

1546
01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:59,519
Speaker 1: a pundit, and you are forced to go back or

1547
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:00,960
Speaker 1: not forced do, but a lot of us end up

1548
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:03,679
Speaker 1: going back and forth. The moment you say there's no evidence,

1549
01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:08,360
Speaker 1: there are these these fits of rage from the left

1550
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:11,360
Speaker 1: and the pro Hillary Democrats and the pro Obama Democrats.

1551
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:14,200
Speaker 1: Of course, there's so much evidence. Look, in front of

1552
01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:15,920
Speaker 1: the Evans, right in front of your face, and they say, well,

1553
01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:18,679
Speaker 1: what's the evidence, and they just yell louder. They really

1554
01:32:18,720 --> 01:32:23,320
Speaker 1: are the bleeding sheep from George Orwell's animal farm for

1555
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 1: our legs good, dude, legs bad. That is the Democrat

1556
01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:30,360
Speaker 1: mantra at this point, whatever they're told to say, they

1557
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:32,960
Speaker 1: just bleed it out and try to drown drown out

1558
01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:37,759
Speaker 1: any sensible approach to what's happened here or what hasn't

1559
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:40,760
Speaker 1: happened when it comes to trumpet Russia. It has just

1560
01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:46,719
Speaker 1: been the effort to undo the electoral result, to change

1561
01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:51,800
Speaker 1: this election, and to drown out the truth with so

1562
01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:55,680
Speaker 1: much nastiness. I mean, that's been a major component of

1563
01:32:55,680 --> 01:32:58,040
Speaker 1: what the media has done this year. They have spun

1564
01:32:58,080 --> 01:33:01,640
Speaker 1: off onto another planet. They are divid worst from reality,

1565
01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:04,479
Speaker 1: and they're also trying to ruin the reputations of people

1566
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:06,800
Speaker 1: who are just being trying to be honest about it,

1567
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:09,400
Speaker 1: at least trying to look at each stage in this

1568
01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:13,800
Speaker 1: process of the so called Mueller Russia collusion probe and

1569
01:33:13,800 --> 01:33:16,559
Speaker 1: say all right, well, we'll just give me the evidence

1570
01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 1: that you say you have, and they never produce it,

1571
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:22,280
Speaker 1: and then they get mad Unfortunately, My Friends is going

1572
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:24,080
Speaker 1: to be more of this. I wish I could say

1573
01:33:24,080 --> 01:33:26,599
Speaker 1: that it was over, but I think we are about

1574
01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:30,439
Speaker 1: halfway through. But on the on the flip side, at least,

1575
01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:34,599
Speaker 1: I'll give you some talk about Team Buck. That'll be fun.

1576
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:36,599
Speaker 1: We'll get into some Team Buck emails. And also, I'm

1577
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 1: just gonna make fun of Tom broke off for a

1578
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 1: while because it's Christmas time. Stay with me for that

1579
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:44,680
Speaker 1: team for all times sake, let's just get into a

1580
01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:49,519
Speaker 1: Buck slap here. This is how, on what should be

1581
01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:55,479
Speaker 1: considered a journalistic broadcast, MSNBC talks about the President tweeted

1582
01:33:55,560 --> 01:33:58,880
Speaker 1: Tom and just want your reaction. Here was Fox and

1583
01:33:58,960 --> 01:34:03,400
Speaker 1: Friends just named most influential show and news. You deserve it,

1584
01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:08,040
Speaker 1: Three great people. The many fake news hate shows could

1585
01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:12,759
Speaker 1: study your formula for success. Notice how when Mika wants

1586
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:15,840
Speaker 1: to show her disdain to the audience before we even

1587
01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:20,400
Speaker 1: get into Brokaw's idiotic response. Notice how Mica makes it

1588
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:23,679
Speaker 1: very clear to everyone watching that it's like she's reading

1589
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:26,200
Speaker 1: the writings of a of a four year old. She

1590
01:34:26,280 --> 01:34:28,840
Speaker 1: might as well be like I'm Donald Trump and I'm

1591
01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:32,760
Speaker 1: doing finger painting. I mean, she's really laying it on

1592
01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:35,920
Speaker 1: thick there. She could just read it as a newsperson

1593
01:34:36,280 --> 01:34:39,240
Speaker 1: theoretically should, but no, she wants you to know that

1594
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:42,040
Speaker 1: she thinks Trump is so dumb. Ha ha ha. And

1595
01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:44,800
Speaker 1: just as a little aside here, Mika is in much

1596
01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:47,520
Speaker 1: more of a glass house than she seems to realize.

1597
01:34:47,680 --> 01:34:51,320
Speaker 1: Were she not the daughter of Za big new Braginsky,

1598
01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:54,760
Speaker 1: do we really think she would have gotten these media opportunities.

1599
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:57,640
Speaker 1: She might want to just show a little more humility.

1600
01:34:57,880 --> 01:35:00,160
Speaker 1: But here we are, we're we're treated to meet his

1601
01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:03,439
Speaker 1: opinions all the time. Anyway, let's get to what Tom

1602
01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:10,880
Speaker 1: Broke call. What does Tom Broke Tom? Well, he watches

1603
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:14,960
Speaker 1: Fox News because it reinforces what he believes. Fox News

1604
01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:18,880
Speaker 1: after Shepherd Smith and the late afternoon is on a

1605
01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:21,680
Speaker 1: jihad right now on the whole question about whether there's

1606
01:35:21,720 --> 01:35:25,599
Speaker 1: a fairness about this or not. The transfer of uranium,

1607
01:35:25,680 --> 01:35:30,639
Speaker 1: for example, to Iran to Iran Chef Smith has gone

1608
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:33,120
Speaker 1: in some detail to say it did not happen. She

1609
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:35,559
Speaker 1: didn't have the authority to do that, because that ends

1610
01:35:35,560 --> 01:35:37,559
Speaker 1: at four three or five. But whenever he gets off here,

1611
01:35:37,680 --> 01:35:41,000
Speaker 1: and then from then on what happens the whole assault

1612
01:35:41,240 --> 01:35:44,800
Speaker 1: is on the institutions. The whole assault was on the

1613
01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:49,559
Speaker 1: instant tutions. There's Tom Brokoll's going to be learning their

1614
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:53,320
Speaker 1: country know what here he thinks about everything and the

1615
01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:59,360
Speaker 1: knows This guy is so lucky to have gotten where

1616
01:35:59,439 --> 01:36:02,240
Speaker 1: he did in the news business. He just happened to

1617
01:36:02,280 --> 01:36:05,320
Speaker 1: be in the right place at the right time in

1618
01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:10,720
Speaker 1: the golden era of bearing a newsreader. Or you turn

1619
01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:16,360
Speaker 1: it on Jobbert Schmirth after four third, this guy is

1620
01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:22,679
Speaker 1: an income poop alright. What he says is absolute babel babel.

1621
01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:27,040
Speaker 1: And notice how he's treated with all of this deference

1622
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:31,040
Speaker 1: by just tell us more. Tom Broke cawuty doesn't know anything.

1623
01:36:31,439 --> 01:36:33,479
Speaker 1: You know. I can tell you this. If Tom Broke

1624
01:36:33,520 --> 01:36:37,639
Speaker 1: aw had to actually show up in a newsroom today

1625
01:36:37,680 --> 01:36:40,160
Speaker 1: and do all the things that people in the media

1626
01:36:40,200 --> 01:36:44,280
Speaker 1: business are expected to do, that guy would crumble up

1627
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:47,560
Speaker 1: into a little puddle in the corner. I've seen this firsthand.

1628
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:51,320
Speaker 1: I worked at CBS Evening News with Dan Rather as

1629
01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:53,280
Speaker 1: an intern. But I'm just saying I observed. I'm not

1630
01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:55,519
Speaker 1: saying I was high level and the guy came in,

1631
01:36:55,680 --> 01:36:57,800
Speaker 1: got his hair done and read some lines and went home.

1632
01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:00,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it was the easiest job The easy is

1633
01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:02,240
Speaker 1: seven million a year I've ever seen any human being

1634
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:04,439
Speaker 1: get And he wasn't even very good at it. He

1635
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:07,439
Speaker 1: was just lucky and the right people liked him. What

1636
01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:11,479
Speaker 1: Tom Broke all warns to tell you, well, there's a

1637
01:37:11,680 --> 01:37:17,000
Speaker 1: jihad being waged right now my Fox News. He used

1638
01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:20,000
Speaker 1: the term jihad because he knows that it will perhaps

1639
01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:22,360
Speaker 1: get him additional attention, it will get under the skin

1640
01:37:22,479 --> 01:37:25,000
Speaker 1: of some of the people that he is trying to

1641
01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:28,880
Speaker 1: not just agitate, but that he's so clearly for whom

1642
01:37:28,880 --> 01:37:32,000
Speaker 1: he so clearly has a real disdain anybody who lives

1643
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:34,639
Speaker 1: in a red state, or anybody who recognizes that jihad

1644
01:37:34,720 --> 01:37:37,559
Speaker 1: is in fact a real threat to this country. But

1645
01:37:37,680 --> 01:37:42,040
Speaker 1: I just can't get over that we have these these honestly,

1646
01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:45,519
Speaker 1: these outdated clowns, like the Dan rathers and the Tom

1647
01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 1: Broke cause, and they're treated with all this Steff, I

1648
01:37:48,360 --> 01:37:51,760
Speaker 1: have zero difference for these people. There's nothing impressive about

1649
01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:55,360
Speaker 1: any of them. They were entirely replaceable. They were lucky,

1650
01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, their their their skill set is matt lower

1651
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:02,760
Speaker 1: without the sex scandal, congratulate nations. That's it, that's it.

1652
01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:06,240
Speaker 1: There's nothing about them that gives them some other than

1653
01:38:06,479 --> 01:38:10,799
Speaker 1: longevity in a business that's changed dramatically. It's entirely different

1654
01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:14,439
Speaker 1: now and the days of just showing up and I

1655
01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:18,800
Speaker 1: look like a newsreader, So give me the job that

1656
01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:24,600
Speaker 1: has changed. No, just because you sound like this and America,

1657
01:38:25,320 --> 01:38:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, because I'm going to pray on your intellectual

1658
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:34,000
Speaker 1: insecurities at home, make you think that I sound smart,

1659
01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:39,400
Speaker 1: therefore I must be smart. Tom Broke Hall, Baby, it's

1660
01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:42,200
Speaker 1: just a pollent. And I hate that we have to

1661
01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:46,120
Speaker 1: sit here and anyone anywhere across the country has to

1662
01:38:46,160 --> 01:38:51,479
Speaker 1: be lectured by these total lightweights, these empty suits. And

1663
01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:54,479
Speaker 1: you know, Mika's whole thing now is just turned into

1664
01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:57,160
Speaker 1: like performance art. She's the mean girl in high school

1665
01:38:57,520 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 1: and and President Trump is the one that she's trying

1666
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:02,280
Speaker 1: a pick on. Now. I don't think Trump really cares

1667
01:39:02,320 --> 01:39:05,080
Speaker 1: all that much, But keep in mind Mika and Joe,

1668
01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:09,320
Speaker 1: they were chummy, chummy, buddy buddy with Trump until they weren't,

1669
01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:12,200
Speaker 1: and now they are so desperate for relevance. They're part

1670
01:39:12,240 --> 01:39:15,920
Speaker 1: of the hashtag resistance. You know, either be a nice

1671
01:39:15,960 --> 01:39:20,559
Speaker 1: person or have principles. But don't be a jerk with

1672
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:23,679
Speaker 1: no principles, because then you're just worthless, And I don't

1673
01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:26,880
Speaker 1: care what NBC or MSNBC is paying them. I don't

1674
01:39:26,920 --> 01:39:29,400
Speaker 1: care about the fancy country clubs that they belong to

1675
01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:33,400
Speaker 1: or the private jet travel that they so luxuriate in

1676
01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:35,800
Speaker 1: on a regular basis. In the fact that matters is

1677
01:39:35,880 --> 01:39:40,920
Speaker 1: people are clowns, aren't more. Excuse me, young man, say

1678
01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:43,440
Speaker 1: that are good, and I'll have my staff of writers

1679
01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:46,200
Speaker 1: come up with a monologue to refute you for me,

1680
01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:49,840
Speaker 1: and then I'll read it over wash maybe Tom Brokaw

1681
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:54,080
Speaker 1: go away. I mean, I know I'm trying to get

1682
01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:57,000
Speaker 1: in the Christmas spirit, but some people just just need

1683
01:39:57,040 --> 01:40:00,519
Speaker 1: a buckslab. So I saw that clip, and when he

1684
01:40:00,560 --> 01:40:03,599
Speaker 1: starts talking about a jihad, I would also note that

1685
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:08,840
Speaker 1: I suppose we could say that jihad can be offensive.

1686
01:40:08,960 --> 01:40:12,040
Speaker 1: Now you know that there used to be this story

1687
01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:14,439
Speaker 1: that you would hear from different people on the left

1688
01:40:14,479 --> 01:40:18,880
Speaker 1: that jihad is only defensive to create a false framework

1689
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:24,320
Speaker 1: where jihad always has some uh moral backing because it's

1690
01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:28,400
Speaker 1: a defensive holy war. And anybody who has even the

1691
01:40:28,439 --> 01:40:31,960
Speaker 1: most passing familiarity with the history of the Islamic conquest

1692
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:36,519
Speaker 1: notes that that is complete and utter garbage. It's kind

1693
01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:38,599
Speaker 1: of like the people that go around saying that jihad

1694
01:40:38,720 --> 01:40:43,439
Speaker 1: just means inner struggle. Yeah, tell that to about four

1695
01:40:43,840 --> 01:40:48,959
Speaker 1: hundred years or so of jihadists around the world. Apparently

1696
01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:53,400
Speaker 1: they've been quite quite confused this whole time. Archon proms

1697
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:58,599
Speaker 1: there confused. I don't know. I think it's it's it's

1698
01:40:58,640 --> 01:41:01,080
Speaker 1: just sometimes necessary to call out some of of these people.

1699
01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:02,920
Speaker 1: It's not I feel bad though, because it's not in

1700
01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:05,880
Speaker 1: the Christmas spirit. But I don't really feel bad because

1701
01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:08,200
Speaker 1: they're they're kind of terrible and they're being really mean,

1702
01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:12,120
Speaker 1: and I think that they have a disdain for a

1703
01:41:12,160 --> 01:41:14,960
Speaker 1: lot of the people that they are relying on to

1704
01:41:15,040 --> 01:41:18,440
Speaker 1: watch them at home. You know, it's the the solipsism,

1705
01:41:18,479 --> 01:41:22,599
Speaker 1: the narcissism of the old school news anchors on these

1706
01:41:22,640 --> 01:41:26,800
Speaker 1: networks like ABC, NBC and CBS. It is it is

1707
01:41:26,840 --> 01:41:29,040
Speaker 1: still a site to behold. Let's come back to some

1708
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:33,080
Speaker 1: team Buck Speaks. Stay with me. Only two more shows

1709
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:39,559
Speaker 1: here in the Freedom Hunt in well, actually my math

1710
01:41:39,640 --> 01:41:42,080
Speaker 1: is off. We only really one more show because this

1711
01:41:42,160 --> 01:41:44,560
Speaker 1: is the end of the Thursday show. We have a

1712
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:48,920
Speaker 1: show tomorrow and then I will be on vacation next

1713
01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:51,960
Speaker 1: week as well. The rest of the team here in

1714
01:41:52,320 --> 01:41:56,320
Speaker 1: the Hut. So this is one of our last chances

1715
01:41:56,400 --> 01:42:00,360
Speaker 1: to hang out in and I would incur ridge any

1716
01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:03,479
Speaker 1: of you who have never yet this year called into

1717
01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:06,599
Speaker 1: the show. It's a great time to do it. Tomorrow.

1718
01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:09,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna let those lines, We're gonna let

1719
01:42:09,120 --> 01:42:11,519
Speaker 1: those lines breathe. Tomorrow, my friends are gonna be a

1720
01:42:11,520 --> 01:42:14,880
Speaker 1: wide open lots of space on those phone lines. And

1721
01:42:14,920 --> 01:42:16,400
Speaker 1: even if you just want to call in and wish

1722
01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:19,080
Speaker 1: everyone to marry Christmas, I'm really hoping to make tomorrow

1723
01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:23,439
Speaker 1: uh kind of audio Christmas party in the Freedom Hut.

1724
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:25,559
Speaker 1: All of you can call in whenever you want and

1725
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:28,360
Speaker 1: we'll chat about things and have a great time. So

1726
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:31,120
Speaker 1: um that that would be my pitch to all of you.

1727
01:42:31,240 --> 01:42:33,880
Speaker 1: All I want for Christmas is to hear from a

1728
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:37,360
Speaker 1: lot of Team Buck tomorrow, and for as many of

1729
01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:42,360
Speaker 1: Team Buck is is possible to maybe pick up a

1730
01:42:42,439 --> 01:42:45,120
Speaker 1: nine Line T shirt or a subscription to Create Club,

1731
01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:50,919
Speaker 1: because those are fantastic veteran owned and operated advertisers who

1732
01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:53,680
Speaker 1: have really given a big vote of confidence in the

1733
01:42:53,760 --> 01:42:56,360
Speaker 1: show by joining us for a campaign right over the

1734
01:42:56,400 --> 01:42:59,240
Speaker 1: holiday season. So I've got my nine line T shirt

1735
01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:02,000
Speaker 1: right here, I've got my Create Club Create at home,

1736
01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:04,320
Speaker 1: and I'm really hoping those of you listening will give

1737
01:43:04,360 --> 01:43:07,599
Speaker 1: a shot to those wonderful wonderful companies were the great

1738
01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:11,320
Speaker 1: brands and the veterans, including a whole bunch of veterans

1739
01:43:11,360 --> 01:43:15,160
Speaker 1: the special operations community that are involved in those projects.

1740
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:19,120
Speaker 1: So uh, that's that's what I wanted for Christmas. Those

1741
01:43:19,120 --> 01:43:22,120
Speaker 1: are my Christmas wishes for all of you here. And

1742
01:43:22,240 --> 01:43:26,400
Speaker 1: with that I will get into the latest edition of

1743
01:43:26,479 --> 01:43:33,320
Speaker 1: some Team Buck Speaks. This one from Michael good Buck. Okay,

1744
01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:36,520
Speaker 1: a good Buck I am. I had some input concerning

1745
01:43:36,680 --> 01:43:39,920
Speaker 1: the possible new name for Team Buck Speaks, considering we

1746
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:42,920
Speaker 1: are all residents of the Freedom Hut. Maybe you could

1747
01:43:42,920 --> 01:43:46,519
Speaker 1: call it Stories from the Freedom Hut. Just an idea,

1748
01:43:46,560 --> 01:43:48,479
Speaker 1: but it wouldn't hurt my feelings to leave the show,

1749
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:52,600
Speaker 1: just like it is Shields High from Texas. Oh and

1750
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:54,800
Speaker 1: then he writes one more quick one here. Sorry, I

1751
01:43:54,880 --> 01:43:57,360
Speaker 1: meant to say good day. Initially never been a big

1752
01:43:57,360 --> 01:44:00,439
Speaker 1: proof reader. Well, Michael, I kind of like good Buck. Hello,

1753
01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:03,960
Speaker 1: good Buck. I'll take it, and yeah, I like Stories

1754
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:06,360
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hell. We're gonna be thinking about some creative

1755
01:44:06,960 --> 01:44:10,920
Speaker 1: ideas and different changes we'll make into the show. In ten.

1756
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:14,519
Speaker 1: One thing is Connie Bears coming back. I've your your

1757
01:44:14,600 --> 01:44:16,880
Speaker 1: wishes have been heard on this one team that the

1758
01:44:16,960 --> 01:44:20,519
Speaker 1: Bear will be back. It is happening. And as long

1759
01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:22,080
Speaker 1: as you want to hear from the Bear, there will

1760
01:44:22,120 --> 01:44:24,760
Speaker 1: be regular commie bear appearances. And for a lot of

1761
01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:26,960
Speaker 1: you are like, what the heck is he talking about?

1762
01:44:27,640 --> 01:44:32,240
Speaker 1: You'll see comrades, You'll see uh. Next, we have Russ

1763
01:44:32,320 --> 01:44:35,080
Speaker 1: writing in here. Hey, Buck, just wanted to wish you

1764
01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:37,640
Speaker 1: and your family a merry Christmas. Shields high, brother, and

1765
01:44:37,720 --> 01:44:40,160
Speaker 1: be safe well. Russ. Thank you for the very kind note.

1766
01:44:40,160 --> 01:44:44,080
Speaker 1: Shields high and merry Christmas to you and yours as well.

1767
01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:50,040
Speaker 1: Robert with the following. Now, Trump has gone too far.

1768
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:56,639
Speaker 1: He has gone after your grandchildren. He has taken credit

1769
01:44:56,720 --> 01:45:02,040
Speaker 1: for giving taxpayers a big, beautiful Christmas gift. His so

1770
01:45:02,160 --> 01:45:05,000
Speaker 1: called gift will actually be paid for by your grandchildren.

1771
01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:09,400
Speaker 1: He has actually stooped to stealing from children. Robert. I

1772
01:45:09,439 --> 01:45:12,559
Speaker 1: actually think in concept what you're saying here about government

1773
01:45:12,640 --> 01:45:18,280
Speaker 1: spending is true. But let's be real. In the meantime,

1774
01:45:18,479 --> 01:45:20,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna be helping a lot of middle class families

1775
01:45:20,520 --> 01:45:22,400
Speaker 1: with the tax cut here that they can really use

1776
01:45:22,840 --> 01:45:26,880
Speaker 1: and corporations will get a huge boost, And yeah, I'm

1777
01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:29,679
Speaker 1: skeptical of growth will pay for the one point five

1778
01:45:29,680 --> 01:45:32,120
Speaker 1: trillion dollar cut. I will tell you that. And I

1779
01:45:32,439 --> 01:45:35,360
Speaker 1: think that's a fair point. But you know, Trump is

1780
01:45:35,360 --> 01:45:37,719
Speaker 1: Trump is arriving on the scene when we're twenty trillion

1781
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:43,040
Speaker 1: in the hole and nobody wants to talk about austerity

1782
01:45:43,160 --> 01:45:46,280
Speaker 1: or even fiscal sanity right now. I try here on

1783
01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:49,479
Speaker 1: the show. I try so, but it's not fair to

1784
01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:51,160
Speaker 1: pin it on Trump. And I think in the short

1785
01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:56,679
Speaker 1: term the tax cut will be a good thing. Uh, Stephen,

1786
01:45:57,000 --> 01:45:59,360
Speaker 1: has the fallen for me? Here? Hey Buck, listening to

1787
01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:03,200
Speaker 1: the Tuesday show on my podcast app and wanted to

1788
01:46:03,200 --> 01:46:07,559
Speaker 1: share my family's farm story relating to government regulations. I'm

1789
01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:10,200
Speaker 1: the son of a Wisconsin farmer who was forced to

1790
01:46:10,240 --> 01:46:14,320
Speaker 1: cancel a planned expansion and sell his farm four years

1791
01:46:14,320 --> 01:46:18,840
Speaker 1: ago because of state environmental regulations. My father had built

1792
01:46:18,840 --> 01:46:23,040
Speaker 1: a retirement home in a hill overlooking my home farm

1793
01:46:23,120 --> 01:46:25,760
Speaker 1: and will likely have to watch the farm degrade from

1794
01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:28,840
Speaker 1: his house as the current owner is not keeping up

1795
01:46:28,840 --> 01:46:32,240
Speaker 1: the building. The current owner missed the same deadline for

1796
01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:36,439
Speaker 1: installing an approved waste handling system, so the barn will

1797
01:46:36,479 --> 01:46:38,960
Speaker 1: not be able to house animals unless our Department of

1798
01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:43,240
Speaker 1: Natural Resources changes its regulations. My father still touches the

1799
01:46:43,320 --> 01:46:46,439
Speaker 1: dairy industry as a milk truck driver, but I think

1800
01:46:46,479 --> 01:46:49,040
Speaker 1: he misses it. At least he has a few animals

1801
01:46:49,040 --> 01:46:51,439
Speaker 1: at his home, so my boys will know up close

1802
01:46:51,479 --> 01:46:54,599
Speaker 1: and personal what a cow and chicken his shields high.

1803
01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:57,679
Speaker 1: And thanks for generally supporting my brother's in law enforcement.

1804
01:46:58,040 --> 01:47:00,640
Speaker 1: I have found you to ask fair questions, which was

1805
01:47:00,680 --> 01:47:05,000
Speaker 1: needed during the previous administration. Merry Christmas buck Well, Stephen,

1806
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:07,960
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas to YouTube, and thank you for sharing your story,

1807
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:09,960
Speaker 1: and thank you for being a member of our law

1808
01:47:10,040 --> 01:47:13,640
Speaker 1: enforcement community. You know I will just say this. You know,

1809
01:47:13,680 --> 01:47:17,000
Speaker 1: when I go on TV and or or even on

1810
01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:20,439
Speaker 1: this show, I hear directly from people in law enforce

1811
01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:24,559
Speaker 1: and who are my friends. So it's in the same

1812
01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:27,880
Speaker 1: way that you can always know that I will, to

1813
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:30,799
Speaker 1: the to the best of my ability, maintain a certain

1814
01:47:30,840 --> 01:47:33,479
Speaker 1: standard of conduct and decorum on this show. I I

1815
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:35,960
Speaker 1: don't cuss, and I try to always air on the

1816
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:38,439
Speaker 1: side of language that those of you who have little

1817
01:47:38,439 --> 01:47:41,040
Speaker 1: ones who may be listening could hear without it being

1818
01:47:41,040 --> 01:47:44,080
Speaker 1: a problem. Because my parents listened to the show, and

1819
01:47:44,600 --> 01:47:47,120
Speaker 1: I am never going to be okay with disappointing mom.

1820
01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:50,799
Speaker 1: So that's why I have a certain standard of conduct

1821
01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:54,320
Speaker 1: on the show. Uh. I also know that my former

1822
01:47:55,280 --> 01:47:57,360
Speaker 1: brothers and sisters from the m y p D and

1823
01:47:57,439 --> 01:48:00,960
Speaker 1: also from the CIA listen into the show and see

1824
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:05,439
Speaker 1: me on TV, and they have expectations of me as well,

1825
01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:09,200
Speaker 1: and that doesn't affect my analysis, but it just means

1826
01:48:09,280 --> 01:48:11,880
Speaker 1: that I know I've got an answer to them. So

1827
01:48:11,920 --> 01:48:14,160
Speaker 1: I'm not going on TV and saying anything just to

1828
01:48:14,200 --> 01:48:17,240
Speaker 1: say it or here on the radio show, because unlike

1829
01:48:17,240 --> 01:48:18,960
Speaker 1: a lot of other people, to do this for a living,

1830
01:48:19,160 --> 01:48:21,160
Speaker 1: I've got to look my friends in the eye and

1831
01:48:21,800 --> 01:48:25,040
Speaker 1: have their respect afterwards. And that means a whole lot

1832
01:48:25,080 --> 01:48:27,479
Speaker 1: of folks at the NYPD and a whole bunch of

1833
01:48:27,479 --> 01:48:31,759
Speaker 1: folks at the c i A. So that is something

1834
01:48:31,800 --> 01:48:34,960
Speaker 1: that helps me keep it real, as I like to say,

1835
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:37,759
Speaker 1: and helps me keep it real. We get Leonard writing

1836
01:48:37,760 --> 01:48:40,120

1838
01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:49,559
Speaker 1: I'm glad you know. Maybe we will keep it. But

1839
01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:51,920
