WEBVTT - Loser Democrats Endlessly Investigate 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:15.760 You are entering the freedom hunt. The border crisis continues 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:20.400 and Democrats are showing that they want to decriminalize, at 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.840 least some of them want to decriminalize illegal entry into 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:27.760 this country. This is a leap toward open borders. We've 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.400 got a lot for you on that and also the 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:34.680 latest in the scandals that the Democrats are covering up. 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:37.280 That are more coming up on The Buck Sexton Show. 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:41.479 This is the Buck Sexton Show where the mission where 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:45.640 mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:51.360 Make no mistake America, You're a great American. Again, the 0:00:51.560 --> 0:01:00.880 Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. Now Mexico 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.800 is now stopping people coming very easy for them to do, 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.800 stopping people coming in through Mexico. Let's see if they 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:11.200 keep it done. If they keep doing that now, if 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:15.440 they don't, or if we don't make a deal with Congress, 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.240 the border is going to be closed, or we're going 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:21.840 to close large sections of the border, maybe not all 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:25.080 of it, but it's the only way we're getting a response. 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.560 And I'm totally ready to do it, and I will 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:31.040 say this many people want me to do it. Welcome 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.800 to the Buck Sexton Show. President Trump still pushing the 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:37.960 idea that he may shut down the border. I don't 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.440 think that this is the way he's going to go, 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.400 and I don't think it will solve or even necessarily 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.440 help on the problem all that much. But the man's 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:52.840 trying to do something. There are no good options available 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.520 right now because of the laws that exist on the books, 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.760 because of the situation on the ground at the border, 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:03.080 and because one political party no longer believes that we 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:09.239 should have immigration laws. One political party no longer believes 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.840 that there's anything wrong with illegal immigration. Really, I mean, 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:17.040 they won't say this out loud, but there's plenty of data. 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:18.920 I can point you to, plenty of evidence that this 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:24.680 is in fact how they feel. Let me bring you 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:32.960 up to speed on what is going on with Joaquin Castro. Now, well, 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.359 Keene Castro is someone who and this just came out today, 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:40.760 he's running for president. He's not one of the top contenders, 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:45.639 but he's a congressman from Texas I believe, who is 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.520 running for president and has put out and is one 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.320 of the first Democrats to put out what his plan 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:59.200 is on immigration. And here's the very shortened version of 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:04.560 what could be a longer conversation and will be. But 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:10.000 he wants to decriminalize illegal entry into the United States, 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:15.560 all right, Julian Castro wants to make sure that if 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:19.600 somebody comes into America illegally, they are no longer to 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.960 be arrested and treated as No, it's a misdemeanor, it's 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.200 a federal misdemeanor to enter, but it is still a crime. 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:30.520 This would now be the equivalent, legally speaking of a 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:35.400 civil offense a parking ticket. At the moment when the 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:41.240 country is in the grips of the biggest immigration, illegal 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:45.520 immigration crisis, perhaps in its history, because remember, it's not 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:49.320 just the people crossing now, it's they say, eleven more 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:54.040 like twenty million illegals already in the country. And what 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:58.400 that does to the political parties and to our our 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.440 cultural and political and social fabric in this country and 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.520 rule of law, and you know that's always looming in 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:08.000 the background. You already have an enormous population of legal 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.080 aliens living in the country, enormous and now you have 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.960 a huge surge that'll be a million more for the 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.320 year if it continues at the current rate. And what 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.600 do what do the Democrats do? Oh, that's right, they 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:23.440 start to talk about how we should make it even easier, 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:28.160 we should make the penalties even less, and right now 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:32.200 there's basically no penalty. It would be in the Dallas 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.640 News was supporting on this today that that Castro's plan 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:39.120 would be turning this into a civil, non criminal violation 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.240 illegal entry. So it's like it'd be like a like 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:48.240 a parking ticket situation. Now, and this is where I'm 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.080 telling you I see it right now, this is where 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.320 the Democratic Party is going. They're they're going to do 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:58.159 everything they can to further weaken immigration enforcement. They're going 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.560 to try to eliminate any real hope of interior enforcement 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:05.440 against illegal alien illegal aliens, and then illegal entry at 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:09.560 the border will be deprioritized as any kind of law 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.320 enforcement issue, and they're just going to say, let's just 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.840 process people as fast as we can bring more of 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:21.400 them into the country and completely leave law enforcement I 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.799 mean in the lurch. I mean, if all of a sudden, 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:25.479 a legal entry is not really a crime, you have 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:27.640 to ask the question, why does border patrol even exist? 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.000 Then border patrol shouldn't be out there. You know, does 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:37.400 border patrol's mission matter? If they're not policing crimes? What 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.440 are they doing down there. Oh, they're just there to 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:43.680 prevent drugs from flowing into the country. There's more than that, 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:47.720 isn't there. You know, we are being forced to address 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.360 a fundamental question about the future of this country, which 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.919 is should we have borders at all? The Democrats want 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.839 to say no, but they're not ready to say no. 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:02.080 They do not believe that we should be excluding people 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.880 from the country. They do not think that there's anything 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:09.159 wrong with illegal entry into the United States. And they 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.080 have gone so far left and so out of the 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:16.800 mainstream on this issue that I can't see how twenty 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.640 twenty turns into on immigration anything more than a fight 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.560 over It's just going to be a fight over amnesty. 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.000 They're going to offer amnesty to everybody who's here. That's 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:26.400 what they're gonna want to do. They're gonna call it 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:30.800 a pathway to citizenship, but they know that they're a 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.400 Lynsky I'd approach here of overwhelming The system is going 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.360 to be true not just that our southern border, it's 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.920 going to be true of the supposed pathway. The pathway 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:40.599 is going to be a conveyor belt. All you have 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:42.159 to do is be on it and you'll get to 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.080 the end, which means citizenship here to tell me that 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.560 people that are in the country that you don't have 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.920 English proficiency, proven to the government, that don't pay back 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.400 taxes when most of them would actually get money from 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.599 the government because they'll make enough money to pay taxes, 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:58.680 so they're not gonna pay into the system. They're not 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.760 gonna pay any fine, They're not all this is all nonsense. 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.400 We went through this before we Reagan signed an amnesty 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.320 back in the eighties, and they were still here in 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.720 cases twenty years later, or people who said that they 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.400 were they should have been covered by the amnesty, or 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.240 there was some aspect of it, and we were promised 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.280 that it would be it would stop after that. You know, 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.920 it was for a few million people the amnesty. I 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.200 forgot three or four million. I think it would stop 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.200 after that. Edn't think out words. It only got bigger. 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:33.200 Democrats want to want the incentives to come into this country, 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:40.360 even even stronger than they had been in the past, 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.680 even stronger than they have been before this. So we 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:49.280 do not have partners in addressing the crisis. We have 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.680 actually one side that wants to figure this out, the Republicans, 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.920 And I'm not saying that they're particularly adept or skilled 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.120 at it. But then on the other side, you've got 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:00.680 people that just want to perpetuate exactly what's going on. 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:04.000 And that's why you're going to just see the continuation 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:08.600 of all this dysfunction. We're going to see a real 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.920 lack I think of well, there'll be a lack of 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:13.800 honesty and the way the Democrats talk about this, but 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.080 this is we're focusing on the issue. And the last 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:18.840 week I was saying, we need more focus, we need 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:23.400 more focus. Now here we are and you know, Trump's 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.840 last car to play seems to be shutting down the border. 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.560 Here's Sarah Howkaby Sanders saying just that play fourteen. The 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.680 President's not threatening. The President's taking his job as the 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:35.800 commander in chief very seriously in terms of protecting the 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:39.720 American people. Everyone wants to talk about the cost of 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.040 doing that. That is certainly, again not something we want 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.480 to happen. The President's the one that is responsible for 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.680 the last two years of economic growth, economic boom, and 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.880 the number of jobs that we have in this country. 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.120 We don't want to see that hurt. But at the 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.880 same time, the president's number one responsibility is to protect 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.360 American life. Democrats may not care about that. They may 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.679 be perfectly fine watching women and children exploited as they 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.160 make the treacherous journey up from the up from the 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.360 South across the southern border. They may be perfectly fine 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.520 seeing babies frankly killed right up until the moment of birth. 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.440 But this president isn't. He takes his job of protecting 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.440 American life very seriously, and he's gonna do what it 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:23.679 takes to make sure that happens right. Shutting down the 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:27.679 border would at least be a demonstration of resolve from 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.559 the president and focus on the issue. But I'm telling you, 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:32.200 the pressure would be too great and he'd have to 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.839 relent very quickly. It would not last long, and it 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.040 wouldn't solve the problem. It just gets people to focus 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:41.280 on the problem. This is the biggest challenge the country, 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.640 imminent challenge the country faces right now what to do 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:47.280 about the southern border. Who is showing leadership on this 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.000 other than President Trump? I can think of very few people, 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.000 and that is really unsettling. We have more on this 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:55.559 border issue, and a whole lot more coming up in 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.560 the show. Team stay with Me, give us any money 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.280 to fix it. They won't change the law to fix it. 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.000 So we're gonna do the best with what we have, 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.320 and if that means pulling people off the ports of 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.280 entry to put them out on the border where there's 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.680 no wall, we will absolutely do that. There's a lot 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.400 of good ways to help solve this problem. Congress could 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.920 do it, but they're not going to. Mexico could help 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:15.800 us do it. They need to do a little bit more. 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.360 Honduras could do more, Nicaragua could do more. El Salvador 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.199 could do more. And if we're going to give these 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.679 countries hundreds of millions of dollars, we would like them 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:26.720 to do more. They're not going to do more, though, folks, 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:31.240 I wish we're not the case. I'd like to tell 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.920 you that things are looking good and there's going to 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:38.520 be some real change on the horizon. That the the 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.760 other partners that we should have here in Mexico, Honduras, 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:47.320 Nicaragua or Salvador, Guatemala, the Democrat Party in our own country, 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:51.520 that they would seek to in some way, in some 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:56.600 way that is meaningful, stem the flow of migrants. I 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.520 mean this mass movement of people which is what we 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.920 are in the mid stuff This is not a normal 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.600 immigration issue. We are at the beginning of an immigration, 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:09.960 an illegal alien tsunami in this country. That's what is happening. 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.280 People have called it an invasion, that's all. It's not 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:17.719 a military invasion. It's an illegal alien invasion. That is 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.120 what's going on here. And if you don't think that, 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.400 I'm giving it to you Stradium though I was down 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.400 in our passa last week, is you know, reporting on 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.720 this issue and talking to Border Patrol about this. Here's 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:34.360 the Border Patrol Council VP telling us just how serious 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.480 it is. Plate twelve. They're definitely at a crisis and 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.760 it's an emergency. You know, we welcome more agents coming 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.200 down here to the southern border and assisting. But in 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.920 the end, you know, something needs to be done about 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.240 the overflow of these individuals that are coming into the country. 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:55.239 And if there's other countries that are facilitating this invasion, 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.480 they obviously need to step up to the plate and 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:02.640 start doing something about it. You notice what he says, 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:08.440 an invasion facilitating an invasion. That is the Border Patrol 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.440 Council Vice President who is just calling it like he 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:17.640 sees it and not mincing words. Now you get into 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:24.480 this back and forth, and I've mentioned Julian Castro before here, 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:29.000 you know, you know he Castro is saying that everything 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.000 that the Trump administration is trying to do is a 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.320 bad idea. I play thirteen. The idea that you would 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.440 close the border or that you would cut off aid 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.880 to these very countries where people are fleeing and coming 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.680 to the United States is downright stupid. It's the wrong 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.400 thing to do. If you close off the border, you're 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:50.200 just going to hurt jobs in the United States. Okay, 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:54.120 but what does mister what does Representative Castro think we 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.040 should do? Oh, we know what he thinks we should do, 0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:02.199 which is just not enforced immigration law anymore, no longer illegal. 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.839 Let people just come into the country. It's a it's 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:08.800 a parking ticket. It's no big deal. This guy's running 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:10.880 for president, folks. Okay, this is not I'm not picking 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.600 some in a random Internet troll and saying, so this 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.400 is what the left believes this guy is. If not 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.800 a serious presidential contender, I think a lot of people 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:22.280 of him as a very serious VP contender. I mean, 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.520 he's young, and you know, the optics of Castro on 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:29.520 the ticket to the Democrats look good. But while he's 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:34.640 just trashing the Trump administration's desire to do something here, 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:40.360 Border agent Raoul or Tez is just reminding everybody that 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.040 this thing, this situation going on at the border is 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:50.520 out of control. Play fifteen at double our capacity right now. 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:52.600 I don't have to have enough medics. I don't know, 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.360 have enough border troll agents to ensure that these folks 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.360 are getting processed within the forty eight hours that we 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.760 should be processing them. We're going to keep people in 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:04.839 custody longer, our agents are getting assaulted. Potentially could be 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.440 a liability where even one of the individuals that are 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:11.239 in custody could be assaulted in detension facilities that are overcrowded. 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.160 I don't know who else we have to hear it 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:16.400 from that this is a crisis, that this is something 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:20.960 that cannot be handled, that cannot be dealt with right 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:25.400 now now. I just wonder who who it is that 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:29.240 that the Democrats would believe, what authority could be point 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:35.440 to here if that's not enough. J Johnson, Obama's DHS secretary, 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.360 is like, oh no, no, this is definitely a crisis. 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.560 Place sixteen. As Kevin McLean and the Commissioner of CVP 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:46.160 pointed out on Tuesday, there were four thousand apprehensions one 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.800 day alone, four thousand run pace this month for one 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:54.280 hundred thousand apprehensions. The highest we saw on my watch 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:58.360 was May twenty fourteen, sixty five thousand. So this is 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:03.960 a crisis. It's very diff only a crisis, yep, it 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:11.440 is very definitely a crisis. Now, you will remember the 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.280 media lied about this for the two months or so 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:17.760 leading up to our current discussion. It's not a crisis. 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.160 It's not a crisis. Oh no, it is a crisis. 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:24.520 The numbers don't lie, the people working the issue don't lie. 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:27.760 And now that we're trying to trying to come up 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:31.720 with some way of dealing with this, some way of 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:36.320 stopping this invasion as it was called, this tsunami as 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.840 I like to call him, in just this, this enormous 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.560 tidal wave of illegal entry and illegal activity. What the 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:47.000 Democrats do? They undermine and criticize Trumpet at every juncture. 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:51.440 They have no constructive solutions whatsoever. In fact, they're solutions. 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.240 The things that they want to do and propose would 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:59.040 only make it worse because the Democrats have shifted so 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:00.960 far left on him ration I mean they are now 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:05.560 a party that is a day facto open borders party. 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:08.760 You know, the law can be whatever it is. I mean, 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.640 you can tell me as much as you want that 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.120 the law right now says, if you're an illegal alien 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:17.000 in the United States and you are to be deported, 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.680 that is what the law states. Okay, but illegal aliens 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.880 get invited to Democrats by Democrats for the State of 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:29.560 the Union, address illegal aliens, march proudly in the streets 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.120 and say, we demand rights, we demand this, we demand 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:35.880 that they're not They're not being deported. It's not happening. 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:38.320 So the law on that issue doesn't really matter. So 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.440 while you could say, back, but look at all the 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.320 infrastructure and all the stuff, when all the laws we 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.480 have at the border right now, I say to you, yeah, 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:48.080 but they're not it's not working. People are getting into 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:49.760 the country who are not supposed to be in the country, 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.280 who are abusing the system. They're doing it in huge numbers. 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:56.640 They know they're doing it. It's not working. We have 0:16:56.880 --> 0:17:01.000 a near open border situation, and you know, Trump is 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.280 trying some pretty radical stuff here, don't I don't think 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.080 that shutting down the boarder will work because there will 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.640 be tremendous economic pressure. If he does that, there will 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.160 be people saying, my business is getting crushed. Now, dude, 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.800 you can't do this, or mister President, not dude. But 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:18.879 you know what I mean, Congress won't act. I'm sitting 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:20.960 Are we going to just keep looking at this problem 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.639 get worse and worse, the swell of the you know, 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:27.000 the surge of people get larger and larger the southern border. 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:33.320 I think the answer is probably yes. I think that 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:36.639 what you end up having here is maybe some bipartisan 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.440 bill come out of the Congress to just increase the resources. 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.239 But if you increase the resources, all you're doing is 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:46.399 making people more comfortable and adding to the speed with 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.520 which they will be under the current asylum law introduced 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:51.439 in the United States, never to be seen again by 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:56.680 the authorities. So you know, I wish I could. I mean, 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.560 I know what the answers are. I just also know 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:02.520 that the people in charge aren't going to do anything 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:07.040 for that. They're not going to do anything to solve 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:10.960 the situation, which is very disheartening. Let's talk about red 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:17.160 flag laws and Second Amendment sanctuaries. This has now come 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.920 up because of what's happening in Colorado, but it does 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:26.000 have ramifications for the Second Amendment and for folks across 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:31.920 the country because of well the one. There's the gun 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:35.920 rights aspect, but then there's just also what happens when 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:42.320 nullification of law occurs in response to what is a 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:47.080 perceived unconstitutional overreach. What happens when people no longer have 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:52.760 respect that the other side is acting on or has 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:56.320 the expectation the other side is acting on good faith 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:00.400 when it comes to the way that they're right laws 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:02.439 and then trying to enforce laws. So you got a 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.720 sheriff in Colorado who has said that he would rather 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:07.399 go to jail. It's got a lot of attention to 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:11.320 rather go to jail than enforce a new gun controlled 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.720 bill that has been passed by the legislature in the 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.439 state of Colorado, which as we know, is a purple states. 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:21.000 You get some very very democrats stuff gone to Denver, 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.840 you know, very democrat, and yet there's also some red 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:27.280 areas of Colorado too. And you have these red flag 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:29.479 laws now a red flag law. I think they exist 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:33.840 in fifteen different states right now. Guess what, mostly blue 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.840 Democrats states from what I understand, But you have these 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:40.320 red flag laws where a law enforcement officer or an 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:44.800 individual I believe, I think you have to be a 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:47.600 you might have to be a family member. But there's 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:53.000 individuals can go forward and say to a judge that 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:57.800 someone is a threat, that their firearms, firearms that they 0:19:57.840 --> 0:19:59.679 have in their possession, or a threat, and they can 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:08.359 be taken away. Now, this is on many levels, both 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:14.199 you know, reasonable and unreasonable, or reasonable and concerning. You know, 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.080 it's reasonable because you'd say yourself, Hold on a second, 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.920 I mean a temporary it's effectively a temporary restraining order, 0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:21.520 which I've talked about in the past, and I can 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:25.760 see some wisdom to this as long as it's very 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:30.399 clearly spelled out. But and and and is respectful of 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:33.080 the rights of law biding gun owners. But it is either. 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:39.200 Problem here is that what you really have is an 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:43.199 open door for abuse. I mean, the problem that you 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:46.760 run into is that one this is going to be 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:50.000 almost an entirely ineffective I mean, you know, this is 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:52.879 you're hoping that the one person that you're trying to 0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:55.520 stop from doing something bad with a gun, that they're 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:57.600 going to go to the court in time to stop him. 0:20:57.640 --> 0:20:59.880 And you know, they'll tell you all of this might stopt. 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:05.760 Shootings are listening, very very unlikely. So from an effectiveness standpoint, 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.879 I think it's it's very it's dubious. But from a rights, 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:13.160 from a Second Amendment standpoint, you are on just the 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:17.000 order of a judge losing your Second Amendment rights without 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:21.639 the ability to defend yourself. I don't mean defend yourself 0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:24.520 with the Second Amendment, I mean without the if they 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.640 convince the judge in your absence that you are a danger, 0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:30.760 they can take Now, the laws are a little different 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:32.960 state to state twos, and this Colorado one is what 0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:36.440 I'm focused on right now. But they can take your 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:40.560 guns away or your gun away, and I think we 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:44.960 all know that, whether we're talking about a contentious personal 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:47.760 relationship or you know, there's just any number of ways 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:52.600 that this could be abused. And so I understand, I 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:56.480 fundamentally understand why you would have someone who's a sheriff, 0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:58.560 for example in Colorado, just says, look, I'm not going 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:00.560 to do this. I'm not going to take I'm not 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:02.600 going to go into someone's home who has not been 0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:05.480 accused of a crime. We gotta remember this is not 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:07.280 about being a crime This is about somebody who's just 0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:10.600 a danger to themselves or others. This is an entirely 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:15.159 mental health oriented diagnosis that people who don't have a 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:17.240 background of that are going to be making decisions on. 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:24.040 And it's essentially a PreCrime removal of or you know, 0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:25.879 I don't know if you call it pre crime, but 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:28.280 you know it's a pre crime removal of a second 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.639 Amendment right from somebody. Now it is temporary. You can 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:36.960 challenge it. You know there's a fourth what does it now? 0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:41.119 The comtat of version quote would allow family members or others. 0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:43.240 See it is open to others to petition a judge 0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:45.640 to remove people's guns that they're deemed an extreme risk 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:48.800 to themselves or others. If the judge agrees, each person 0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:51.199 would lose the right to purchase or possess firearms for 0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:54.720 three hundred and sixty four days. They would be able 0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:57.760 to file a protest for request to order to have 0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:00.800 the order reversed. You know, this is what I mean. 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:03.239 You know, you're this is like what people say, Oh, 0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:04.879 if you're on the no fly list, you shouldn't be 0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:06.880 able to have a gun. Well, the no fly list 0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:09.840 is not an adjudicated list it's just a bureaucratic list. 0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:13.240 And this is a judge who would be able to say, 0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:17.520 you know what, you you are no longer able to 0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:20.000 own a gun because these people, and it's not clear 0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:22.800 necessarily who the people are in this instance, these people 0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:25.600 say you should not have one, that you are a 0:23:25.680 --> 0:23:28.639 danger to yourself or to others. So if somebody's just 0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:30.680 really sad and you know, maybe having a little too much, 0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:33.320 a little too much of Grandpa's old cough medicine, little 0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:35.800 too much scotch late at night, you know, and they 0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:38.560 own a firearm, is someone going to be able to say, well, 0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:41.960 they shouldn't own that firearm. They could do something bad 0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:46.280 with it. I think that this opens up problems, and 0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:50.280 I don't think it really solves many problems. I unlike 0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:53.040 a lot of other gun control measures, though, I at least, 0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:55.160 and this is kind of how I started off this discussion, 0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:58.720 I at least think that this one, by proponents of it, 0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:02.960 some proponents of it, at least is intended in good faith. 0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:06.840 This isn't a completely this isn't a worthless idea. This 0:24:06.880 --> 0:24:12.159 isn't in a band bump stocks which okay do nothing, 0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:15.199 but you know, bum stocks and I know some of 0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:16.800 you don't even like the band of the bump stocks, 0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:19.280 and you've written I've gotten I've read your emails. I 0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:21.240 am very aware that you think the bump stock band 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:24.439 because it's really banning a style of firing a weapon. 0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:27.159 It's like banning eating with your left hand with a 0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:29.520 fork instead of your right. I mean, you can't, you know, 0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:33.439 a bump stock is not really something that changes the 0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:36.480 internal mechanism at all of the rifle, as you know anyway. 0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:39.320 But then you also that so that's at the at 0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:42.240 the gun control level of this, there's some some nuance 0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:46.080 and some different layers. Um. But then you get to, though, 0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:48.560 what happens when you start having sheriffs you say, I'm 0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:50.960 just not gonna I'm not going to comply with that. 0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:54.720 You get a sense of the gun the real gun 0:24:54.760 --> 0:24:58.400 grabbers in this country who want to just find a way. 0:24:58.440 --> 0:25:01.680 And we saw what happened from the anti gun left 0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:05.080 after the New Zealand massacre, the Mosque massacre that happened. 0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:07.640 The left is always looking for a way, always looking 0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:12.360 for an opening to try and eliminate, you know, guns 0:25:12.480 --> 0:25:15.119 from private hands in this country. I mean, and yet 0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:20.440 it's such a far fetched idea logistically, never mind constitutionally 0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:23.800 and legally that it's it's hard to take it seriously 0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:27.560 other than we know they have the desire. But you 0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:30.360 all know this, and a lot of you are from 0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:32.200 parts of the country where this is much more true 0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:34.480 than certainly where I live in DC, were very, very 0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:37.680 very few people owned guns. The federal government going door 0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:42.000 to door to take people's guns would be disastrous in 0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:43.680 a lot of ways, and in ways that I don't 0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:46.879 have to spell out to you, But in a local 0:25:46.960 --> 0:25:52.120 law enforcement sheriffs and local police departments deciding that they 0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:54.400 won't go along with this just goes to show you 0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:57.320 how meaning they won't go along in this case with 0:25:57.359 --> 0:26:02.919 this red flag law, that there's not a sense of 0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:05.320 good faith from the other side on this issue, and 0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:09.359 that there's now the debate over guns has become so 0:26:09.440 --> 0:26:14.680 toxic and so politicized, people just would prefer to non 0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:18.520 law enforcement, would prefer to non comply in some in 0:26:18.600 --> 0:26:21.280 some instances, you know, and this is why when I 0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:25.840 talk about the erosion of legal standards that are rooted 0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:29.040 in principle and rooting in playing understanding of the law, 0:26:29.200 --> 0:26:33.280 you know, there there are ramifications to this stuff, you know, 0:26:33.320 --> 0:26:35.520 the same way. And Democrats like to play this game 0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:39.520 a lot where they'll just, I mean, DACA is effectively 0:26:40.080 --> 0:26:43.040 executive branch nullification of immigration law. That's what it is. 0:26:43.040 --> 0:26:46.520 That's what President Obama did. And when you start to 0:26:46.560 --> 0:26:51.520 see one side do this just in order to keep 0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:55.920 pace with the overreach that you're seeing from your political opponents, 0:26:55.960 --> 0:26:58.520 it becomes then more likely that you, as a Republican, 0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:00.560 as a conservat you'll say, you know what, well, we're 0:27:00.560 --> 0:27:03.360 just not going to enforce this law. It's like when 0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:05.760 I say, okay, we're not going to enforce immigration law, 0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:08.480 maybe we should enforce the income tax either, and see 0:27:08.480 --> 0:27:10.560 how long that works for us. Oh buck, you can't 0:27:10.560 --> 0:27:14.640 do that. You know, well, the same the same thinking 0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:18.760 that tells people that you can have deferred action for 0:27:19.520 --> 0:27:23.280 childhood arrivals, because Obama says so that that same thinking 0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:25.840 could be, well, we just think that the irs should prioritize, 0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:27.760 you know, only people who have stolen more than ten 0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:30.359 million dollars from the government should be prosecuted. Everybody else 0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:33.640 you get a warning and a request for payment. Everybody else. 0:27:33.760 --> 0:27:35.800 That actually probably sounds like a pretty good system to me. 0:27:36.320 --> 0:27:38.679 You know the first time around, you okay, send us 0:27:38.680 --> 0:27:41.040 our money. Right. No one goes to prison the first 0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:43.040 time unless you've stolen, you know, more than a million 0:27:43.080 --> 0:27:45.240 or more than ten million from the government. And even 0:27:45.240 --> 0:27:47.080 then the prison sentence shouldn't be very long, because you 0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:48.879 can tell. Is where I start to turn it a 0:27:48.880 --> 0:27:50.840 little bit of a radical anarchist because I hate paying 0:27:50.840 --> 0:27:53.639 taxes and it's about to be tax season here. It 0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:57.800 is tax season, Oh gosh day when everyone Americans should 0:27:57.800 --> 0:27:59.320 be forced to send a check to the government. Just 0:27:59.359 --> 0:28:03.040 for your purpose. We'll be right back. Say we're at 0:28:03.080 --> 0:28:06.119 Florida International University talking to students about their opinions of 0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:09.760 socialism and if they support a socialist GPA policy, would 0:28:09.760 --> 0:28:12.240 they be willing to share their high GPA with people 0:28:12.240 --> 0:28:15.000 that have a low GPA? After all, it's all about equality. 0:28:15.080 --> 0:28:17.679 Which would you rather have in America? Socialism or capitalism? 0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:20.080 I would say socialism. How do you view the word 0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:23.520 socialism favorably or unfavorably? I guess I would go with favorably. 0:28:23.840 --> 0:28:26.680 I'd rather people have that. See opportunity. It's a lot 0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:29.080 of excess in America. The main idea of socialism being 0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:31.880 that people at the top are doing their fair share 0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:34.480 to help people at the bottom, trying to prevent disparity 0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:36.760 of income and trying to prevent excess as you called it, 0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:39.280 and so on campus, if there's a GPA disparity where 0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:41.360 there's people to bottom with the poor GPA, would you 0:28:41.360 --> 0:28:43.840 support a policy or people at the top spread the 0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:46.959 wealth and give that GPA to people to bottom, give like, 0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:51.200 help them get a better GPA. I'm all for helping. 0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:53.280 I wouldn't give like, oh, let me just give you 0:28:53.320 --> 0:28:55.320 so much point. But it's about being fair, right, we 0:28:55.320 --> 0:28:57.760 got to help people to bottom. I've fought a lot 0:28:57.800 --> 0:29:00.960 of sleep, so I don't know if I will be fair. 0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:06.920 It's hard. If I guess, it would be kind of 0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:12.880 like hypocritical for me to say no, yea that those 0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:17.000 are our friends from from campus Reform asking on a 0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:19.760 campus because it's campus reform. You know, do you do 0:29:19.760 --> 0:29:23.200 you support socialism? And a lot of kids say yes 0:29:23.280 --> 0:29:24.719 these days. I mean when I say kids, these are 0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:27.920 young adults. These are people who, generally speaking on a 0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:32.120 campus can vote. And I just saw some polling data. 0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:34.160 It was from an old poll, but you know, something 0:29:34.160 --> 0:29:38.680 like forty of the people in this poll who are millennials, 0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:43.920 if memory serves, think that socialism is a better Socialism 0:29:43.960 --> 0:29:47.600 is better than capitalism. This is a theory that is growing. 0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:51.200 I mean, it wasn't long ago that I think it 0:29:51.320 --> 0:29:56.520 would have been considered completely bizarre to hear anybody on 0:29:56.520 --> 0:30:01.040 a college campus walking around saying that socialism is better 0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:05.400 than capitalism for students, for professors a little different. There 0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:08.920 are these Marxist professors walking around. But you know, we've 0:30:08.960 --> 0:30:12.400 gotten a bit far from the fall of the Soviet 0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:16.200 Union and the lesson that the world and unfortunately many, 0:30:16.240 --> 0:30:18.360 many hundreds of millions of people had to learn the 0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:21.800 hard way, the lesson of what comes from from socialism. 0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:25.520 But I think it's interesting to watch how the Democrats 0:30:25.600 --> 0:30:30.160 have to grapple with whether they're just going to be 0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:32.520 honest about what they wanted for twenty twenty, whether where 0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:37.240 they're going to run as open democratic socialists because that's 0:30:37.240 --> 0:30:39.800 what the platform is. You know, Medicare for all and 0:30:40.800 --> 0:30:46.360 these other Green New Deal program and you know, you 0:30:46.600 --> 0:30:49.080 look at free college and this is this is all 0:30:49.160 --> 0:30:53.400 what you would expect in a European welfare state. I'll 0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:57.640 note that the president did and I you heard a 0:30:57.640 --> 0:30:59.680 bit of the skepticism in my voice about this for 0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:02.640 the last week or so, when all of a sudden 0:31:02.680 --> 0:31:05.600 healthcare has come up, presidents now said that a healthcare 0:31:06.440 --> 0:31:09.080 repeal and replace or reform or whatever it is they're 0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:10.440 gonna do it is not going to happen till after 0:31:10.440 --> 0:31:14.440 the twenty twenty election. It's probably the right move because 0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:19.320 they didn't seem like they were ready for this public debate. Again, 0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:22.200 they didn't seem like they're ready for this fight, and 0:31:22.320 --> 0:31:26.000 that's why they're backing off it, which which is smart. 0:31:26.200 --> 0:31:29.760 I think let's focus on the economy, focus on immigration, 0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:32.480 on problems where the Democrats don't really have a leg 0:31:32.520 --> 0:31:35.680 to stand on, so to speak. Trump, they got rid 0:31:35.680 --> 0:31:38.320 of the Congress, got rid of the individual mandate penalty. 0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:40.080 I mean, there have been some things done. They have 0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:43.120 worked to try and lower the price of prescription drugs, 0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:49.120 very very important problem to tackle, and yet they don't 0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:51.440 really seem to understand that if all people here about 0:31:51.480 --> 0:31:55.200 a healthcare reform is that you can stand your parents' 0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:58.200 insurance until you're twenty six, and that people with prexisting 0:31:58.200 --> 0:32:00.560 conditions will be covered. Oh and a lot of people 0:32:00.760 --> 0:32:03.320 that have insurance now would lose it under their plan, 0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:06.480 even though most of them would go back to having 0:32:06.480 --> 0:32:10.640 other plans, and you know, the ones that have any 0:32:10.680 --> 0:32:12.120 kind of a private plan and the ones that are 0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:17.160 on Medicaid expansion. I mean, Medicaid is a very ineffective 0:32:17.480 --> 0:32:20.400 healthcare program and a very expensive one in addition to that. 0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:24.080 So there should be better ways, and states experimenting to 0:32:24.120 --> 0:32:27.160 cover people who would need Medicaid would be a better move, 0:32:28.080 --> 0:32:32.440 giving states greater control. But this is they're not The 0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:34.760 Republicans were not ready for this one, and I could 0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:36.920 sense it, and I think that they're making the right 0:32:36.920 --> 0:32:39.600 move by at least for now, shelving this debate. Because 0:32:39.600 --> 0:32:43.400 if you're going to come out, don't let the Democrats replay, 0:32:44.360 --> 0:32:48.000 you know, twenty twelve. Don't let the Democrats come out 0:32:48.280 --> 0:32:50.600 with the same talking points and win on this one. 0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:54.200 And let's focus on socialism. I mean, let's really have 0:32:54.480 --> 0:32:57.880 that debate. Let's really have a discussion about whether this 0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:02.800 country should increasingly brace the idea that there is a 0:33:04.040 --> 0:33:08.000 basic need that the government has to fulfill to take 0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:13.000 from some to give to others because it's the right 0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:15.840 thing to do according to the people doing the taking, 0:33:16.880 --> 0:33:18.680 that the government should be and if we're going to 0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:21.720 have a more classical definition of socialism, the government is 0:33:21.720 --> 0:33:24.920 in control of the means of production. We're a ways 0:33:24.960 --> 0:33:29.480 away from that, but we're increasingly in a place where 0:33:29.480 --> 0:33:32.200 the government certainly is in control of the distribution of 0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:35.560 what is produced, or the government has greater control over 0:33:35.600 --> 0:33:38.200 that than it has in the past. And I do 0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:42.600 want twenty twenty to be something of a referendum on socialism. 0:33:42.720 --> 0:33:45.000 I want to be because then it's also referendum on 0:33:45.440 --> 0:33:50.360 statism and on big government and on unconstitutional overreach by 0:33:50.440 --> 0:33:53.600 federal authority. You know, that's that all gets tied into 0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:57.120 this debate over socialism. Let's make it, you know, a 0:33:57.240 --> 0:34:03.200 contest between MAGA and the Sanders AOC vision of the future. 0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:05.680 That's what I'm hoping happens. So we'll continue to focus 0:34:05.720 --> 0:34:09.720 on that big hour two coming up. My friend Andy 0:34:09.800 --> 0:34:11.719 McCarthy from National Review is going to join us to 0:34:11.719 --> 0:34:15.840 tell us what happens now. Mullaprobe is over. But there's 0:34:15.880 --> 0:34:18.200 this fight over the full report. Oh, they have to 0:34:18.200 --> 0:34:21.680 see the full report. What will that mean? Will the 0:34:21.800 --> 0:34:25.640 grand jury information get released? Will there'll be fights over this? 0:34:25.719 --> 0:34:30.080 How does executive privilege way in on what information we 0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:33.799 can see, and that's you know, And also I just 0:34:33.840 --> 0:34:36.200 want to want to ask him about whether the president 0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:41.120 should really be concerned about any possible legal jeopardy going forward. 0:34:41.120 --> 0:34:43.239 I mean, is that something that we really also need 0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:46.080 to be aware of. You know, could could Trump find 0:34:46.160 --> 0:34:50.200 himself indicted by someone by some other federal authority or 0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:53.320 maybe some state authority. Even Andy, who was at the 0:34:53.360 --> 0:34:56.359 Southern District of New York for decades, can tell us 0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:59.799 all about that. And we have oh so much more 0:34:59.840 --> 0:35:03.000 to team coming your way, So we'll be back in 0:35:03.040 --> 0:35:05.239 just a moment. You know, when you put on a 0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:06.719 pair of jeans you haven't worn a long time, you 0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:08.480 find a twenty in the back pocket, you go, oh, 0:35:08.560 --> 0:35:10.880 it's my day. Well, think about the money that you 0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:13.759 currently have sitting around doing nothing in that four oh 0:35:13.800 --> 0:35:15.960 one K account from you know, the job before last 0:35:16.000 --> 0:35:18.520 one that you're not really paying attention to. That money 0:35:18.880 --> 0:35:21.920 is just sitting there gathering financial dust. It could be 0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:25.680 working a lot harder for you in a precious metals IRA. 0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:28.280 My friends at Noble Goold can see if you qualified, 0:35:28.320 --> 0:35:30.520 they'll do all the hard work for you on this, 0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:32.640 and this could make you a lot and cost you nothing. 0:35:32.960 --> 0:35:35.279 Give noble Goold to call at eight seven seven six 0:35:35.400 --> 0:35:38.480 four six five three four seven, or this is really easy, 0:35:38.680 --> 0:35:42.440 Just text my name buc K.

And at the end of the day, Abe, 0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:18.319 we're not going to allow this Attorney general him by 0:36:18.360 --> 0:36:23.560 the President, to oppose the obstruction case to bury Mueller's 0:36:23.760 --> 0:36:25.480 report and finding. So we're going to insist that it 0:36:25.520 --> 0:36:29.760 comes out there. You have Adam Schiff, who has learned 0:36:29.760 --> 0:36:33.799 nothing apparently the last two years, isn't isn't budging much 0:36:33.840 --> 0:36:37.080 at all from his collusion delusions. Well, now it's I 0:36:37.080 --> 0:36:41.640 guess the obstruction construction. But we got somebody who can 0:36:41.680 --> 0:36:44.839 tell us what's coming next in all this and what 0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:47.799 our expectations should be. And the fun part is he's 0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:50.399 been right all along, unlike Schiff, who's been wrong all along. 0:36:50.440 --> 0:36:53.080 We've got Andy McCartney with us now of National Review, 0:36:53.120 --> 0:36:56.279 also a Fox News contributor. Andy, great to have you back. 0:36:57.480 --> 0:36:59.399 What do you mean to be with you? Thanks so much? Man? 0:36:59.520 --> 0:37:03.239 What do you make of shift here? Trying to say that, 0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:06.319 you know, the first of all, the handpicked I mean 0:37:06.320 --> 0:37:09.400 the little kind of you know, the little kidney punches 0:37:09.400 --> 0:37:11.919 he's throwing. No one's looking at the handpicked ag Well, 0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:13.840 every president hand picks it. I mean, like, well, what 0:37:13.880 --> 0:37:16.920 does that even mean? But saying that that he's not 0:37:16.960 --> 0:37:19.400 going to him interfere in the obstruction case, is he 0:37:19.480 --> 0:37:21.600 really trying to say that they may try to bring 0:37:21.640 --> 0:37:24.680 a political obstruction case against the president or does he 0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:29.040 still think there's some prayer of a of a criminal proceeding. Well, 0:37:29.640 --> 0:37:34.000 I think they've always thought, Buck that they could bring 0:37:34.239 --> 0:37:40.040 political charges of some kind. After all, impeachment, which has 0:37:40.080 --> 0:37:43.600 hovered over this thing from the beginning. I think it's 0:37:43.719 --> 0:37:47.480 less likely now, although it's not off the table. It's 0:37:47.560 --> 0:37:51.359 less likely now that we know that Muller has not, 0:37:51.960 --> 0:37:55.080 you know, come out with any smoking gun, and it 0:37:55.120 --> 0:37:59.520 looks like most of his report exonerates the president, at 0:37:59.600 --> 0:38:04.400 least at least on legal issues. You know, political issues 0:38:04.400 --> 0:38:07.439 are a different story. But you know, Congress doesn't need 0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:13.040 a penal offense, you know, an actual felony like I 0:38:13.120 --> 0:38:17.360 used to prosecute in federal court in order to impeach 0:38:17.400 --> 0:38:20.680 a president back in I think it was nineteen seventy 0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:25.319 or seventy one. Ironically, Jerry Ford, who was then the 0:38:25.440 --> 0:38:31.440 minority leader in Congress, trying to impeach Justice William O. Douglas. 0:38:31.480 --> 0:38:34.719 I think at the time it's ironic because Ford ends 0:38:34.800 --> 0:38:39.680 up becoming president because of an impeachment effort against Nixon, 0:38:39.760 --> 0:38:44.600 who resigns rather than be impeached. But Ford, back in 0:38:44.840 --> 0:38:49.080 nineteen seventy or seventy one said that an impeachable offense 0:38:49.239 --> 0:38:53.560 is anything at the House of Representatives decides that it 0:38:53.680 --> 0:38:57.279 is at a certain point in history. So yes, they can, 0:38:57.400 --> 0:39:00.719 you know, they can do this politically. But as the 0:39:01.000 --> 0:39:05.680 I think the smarter Democrats have said, or at least 0:39:06.320 --> 0:39:10.319 you know, grudgingly conceded um. You know, unless you have 0:39:10.400 --> 0:39:14.800 a consensus. Unless you have such egregious misconduct that cuts 0:39:14.840 --> 0:39:17.640 across the you know, the the outrage over it cuts 0:39:17.680 --> 0:39:22.480 across partisan and ideological lines, You're not going to have 0:39:22.520 --> 0:39:25.880 an impeachable offense. So you might as well forget about. 0:39:26.080 --> 0:39:29.320 So where does this go though? In terms of the 0:39:29.320 --> 0:39:32.080 the you know, the grand jury information that may be 0:39:32.239 --> 0:39:36.520 contained in the Muller Report. I mean, you know there's 0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:40.160 now where are we in finding out? You know, what's 0:39:40.160 --> 0:39:41.719 in it? How much do we get to see? And 0:39:42.000 --> 0:39:43.360 what do you think the play is going to be 0:39:43.400 --> 0:39:45.040 for Democrats? I mean, I know they're going to find 0:39:45.080 --> 0:39:48.080 something in there to say, see, this proves something, But 0:39:48.160 --> 0:39:51.200 what do you see happening? Well, I think the grand 0:39:51.280 --> 0:39:57.799 jury issue is largely an empty bag that they're fighting over. 0:39:58.120 --> 0:40:02.880 Buck In this sense, you know, there's no doubt that 0:40:03.000 --> 0:40:07.160 Barr in his letter talks about the need to scrub 0:40:08.719 --> 0:40:13.120 grand jury information from the report because of legal requirements. 0:40:12.760 --> 0:40:16.880 There's there's a requirement by federal law of grand jury secrecy. 0:40:17.880 --> 0:40:19.640 Not to get too deep in the weeds on this. 0:40:19.719 --> 0:40:23.960 But when I was a prosecutor, especially where I practice, 0:40:24.000 --> 0:40:27.200 the law is different from from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. But 0:40:27.320 --> 0:40:32.040 in the Second Circuit it was pretty common to if 0:40:32.080 --> 0:40:34.680 you needed to get a disclosure of grand jury information, 0:40:34.680 --> 0:40:37.520 you just go to a judge and get a disclosure order. 0:40:38.400 --> 0:40:42.239 But the interesting thing, if you read Rules sixty, which 0:40:42.280 --> 0:40:46.760 controls all this federal rules of criminal procedure, there's nothing 0:40:46.800 --> 0:40:53.399 in Rules sixty that expressly makes dissemination to Congress a 0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:59.840 rationale for for unsealing grand jury information. And the reason 0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:03.759 that matters is there's a big appellate case in the 0:41:03.880 --> 0:41:06.640 DC Circuit right now, which is where, of course, all 0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:11.560 this action is taking place in Washington right The case 0:41:11.600 --> 0:41:15.480 of the DC Circuit, which is called McKeever versus Sessions, 0:41:15.760 --> 0:41:22.600 concerns whether a judge has authority outside the strict provisions 0:41:22.800 --> 0:41:26.239 of Rule six C, just like a generalized authority to 0:41:26.480 --> 0:41:30.839 unseal grand jury minutes. And what the Justice Department has 0:41:30.920 --> 0:41:35.280 argued in that case is that the judge is stuck 0:41:35.640 --> 0:41:39.160 with the rationales that are laid out in Rule six C. 0:41:39.320 --> 0:41:41.640 You can't just like make up, you know, I think 0:41:41.680 --> 0:41:44.040 it would be fair to disseminate this to Congress, so 0:41:44.120 --> 0:41:47.440 therefore I can disseminate it to Congress. So that precise 0:41:47.520 --> 0:41:49.560 issue is in front of the court now, and the 0:41:49.600 --> 0:41:52.160 Justice Department has taken a position on it. So it 0:41:52.200 --> 0:41:55.959 would be impossible for Bar, with the Justice Department having 0:41:56.760 --> 0:42:00.080 argued in the DC Circuit that a judge doesn't have 0:42:00.200 --> 0:42:04.239 authority outside the rule, to suddenly say that a judge does. 0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:07.960 I think the reason I say all this may be 0:42:08.160 --> 0:42:13.920 an empty bag. But as I understand it, most of 0:42:13.960 --> 0:42:18.360 the important witnesses that the Democrats would care about cooperated 0:42:18.400 --> 0:42:21.759 with Muller's investigation without the need of going into the 0:42:21.800 --> 0:42:24.359 grand jury. He didn't need to subpoena them. They sat 0:42:24.400 --> 0:42:29.919 for interviews. Those interviews and whatever Muller made of them 0:42:30.600 --> 0:42:33.560 are not grand jury material. They're not covered by grand 0:42:33.640 --> 0:42:37.520 jury secrecy. So in the end, the grand jury, I think, 0:42:37.560 --> 0:42:40.319 may turn out to be less of an issue than 0:42:40.440 --> 0:42:47.239 executive privilege, which becomes an important issue because it's one 0:42:47.320 --> 0:42:53.920 thing for White House officials to speak to a federal prosecutor, 0:42:54.000 --> 0:42:57.080 which is what Bar, but which is what Muller was 0:42:57.600 --> 0:43:02.360 because that's within the executive brand and it doesn't wave privilege. 0:43:02.680 --> 0:43:06.000 It's quite another thing to disclose it to Congress in 0:43:06.040 --> 0:43:09.440 the public, which would require a waiver of privilege. So 0:43:09.680 --> 0:43:12.000 I think while we're having all this hullabaloo about the 0:43:12.040 --> 0:43:15.360 grand jury, now when against it gets down to brass 0:43:15.360 --> 0:43:19.439 tax executive privilege. Yeah, it's the executive privilege argument of it. Yeah, 0:43:19.480 --> 0:43:21.440 that that makes that makes sense to me. Andy, Um 0:43:21.920 --> 0:43:24.920 you know, I also just wanted to get your senses 0:43:25.000 --> 0:43:27.960 to how how do you how do you assess now 0:43:28.000 --> 0:43:32.319 that it's it's done, Muller's actions here? You know, you 0:43:32.320 --> 0:43:34.800 know what what do you think was fair? What was unfair? 0:43:35.280 --> 0:43:36.880 You know, now that we can actually look back on 0:43:37.200 --> 0:43:39.200 a on a game that has been played and you 0:43:39.200 --> 0:43:41.200 know the whistle has been blown, what do you think 0:43:41.239 --> 0:43:44.800 about how the way Muller conducted this whole thing? Well, 0:43:44.880 --> 0:43:52.160 I mostly um am not very favorable toward it. I 0:43:52.239 --> 0:43:55.959 will say one thing. I think the silver lining of 0:43:56.960 --> 0:44:04.080 Muller's appointment is that it rested control of a counter 0:44:04.200 --> 0:44:11.279 intelligence investigation from the FBI two Muller and I think 0:44:11.440 --> 0:44:14.839 Buck that turns out to be very interesting. As we've 0:44:14.880 --> 0:44:19.040 talked about a number of times, counterintelligence investigations in the 0:44:19.080 --> 0:44:23.480 Justice Department don't get a prosecutor because it's not prosecutor work. 0:44:23.520 --> 0:44:27.239 You're not trying to build a criminal case. So it 0:44:27.320 --> 0:44:29.799 was unusual to take it away from the bureau which 0:44:29.920 --> 0:44:33.879 runs counter intelligence and give it to a federal prosecutor. 0:44:34.200 --> 0:44:36.640 And I think a lot of that was to allow 0:44:36.719 --> 0:44:40.759 him to conduct a criminal investigation under the guise of 0:44:40.880 --> 0:44:44.400 counter intelligence. But on the other hand, what I thought, Buck, 0:44:44.520 --> 0:44:46.759 is a very interesting fact that hasn't gotten a lot 0:44:46.760 --> 0:44:52.360 of attention is that the last carter page FISA warrant 0:44:53.000 --> 0:44:57.640 was issued in June round mid to late June of 0:44:57.920 --> 0:45:02.040 twenty seventeen, probably a couple of weeks, maybe a month 0:45:02.520 --> 0:45:06.040 after Muller was appointed, while he was still kind of 0:45:06.040 --> 0:45:09.680 getting his bearings, and they did go back to court 0:45:09.840 --> 0:45:12.640 in June and get another one. The interesting thing, Buck, 0:45:12.719 --> 0:45:16.719 is that's a ninety day warrant, which means it would 0:45:16.760 --> 0:45:23.040 have been due to be reauthorized in September of twenty seventeen, 0:45:23.680 --> 0:45:27.040 by which point Mueller would have been really up and running. 0:45:27.080 --> 0:45:29.480 He'd have been running the investigation for four months. He'd 0:45:29.719 --> 0:45:33.719 he'd have been on top of everything. In September, they 0:45:33.760 --> 0:45:37.040 don't go back to reauthorize the warrant, and by then 0:45:37.480 --> 0:45:41.760 everybody who's been involved in the warrant is gone. Comey 0:45:41.840 --> 0:45:46.200 has been removed, McCabe's been sidelined. Baker's gone, Strack and 0:45:46.280 --> 0:45:49.720 Page or gone. Everybody who was the the key group 0:45:49.760 --> 0:45:53.360 of agents and the key group of Justice Department officials 0:45:53.600 --> 0:45:58.120 who were behind using the card, using the Steel dossier 0:45:58.920 --> 0:46:02.959 to get surveyed allance warrants from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, 0:46:03.000 --> 0:46:06.439 they're all gone. And Muller, when it's his call to make, 0:46:06.800 --> 0:46:10.400 decides we're not going to do that. And I believe 0:46:10.520 --> 0:46:14.640 that that's why we can conclude that's a big reason 0:46:14.719 --> 0:46:18.000 why we conclude that there was probably by the end 0:46:18.040 --> 0:46:21.720 of twenty seventeen, probably by the by the mid autumn 0:46:21.760 --> 0:46:25.080 of twenty seventeen, I think they knew there was no 0:46:25.600 --> 0:46:29.480 collusion case. And do you think that is there any 0:46:29.480 --> 0:46:32.640 doubt in your mind that the dossier, based on what 0:46:32.640 --> 0:46:34.279 we've been told, on what's been out there so far, 0:46:34.560 --> 0:46:39.360 that the dossier was a substantial and the kind of 0:46:39.360 --> 0:46:43.440 the the sine qua non of getting the FISA applications 0:46:44.239 --> 0:46:48.120 or getting the FISA warrants buck without you and me 0:46:48.320 --> 0:46:51.280 having to speculate about this, because you know, we haven't 0:46:51.280 --> 0:46:57.480 seen the unredacted warrants. Senator Grant Grassley and Senator Graham, 0:46:57.719 --> 0:47:01.719 who have seen them, say that with out the dossier, 0:47:01.760 --> 0:47:04.680 there's no way they had enough to seek a warrant. 0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:08.560 And Andy McCabe and his testimony when he was deputy 0:47:08.600 --> 0:47:11.920 director of the FBI and his testimony in Congress has 0:47:12.560 --> 0:47:15.880 conceded as much. So I think we can safely say, 0:47:16.960 --> 0:47:19.319 especially now that Mueller's gotten to the end of the 0:47:19.400 --> 0:47:24.120 rainbow and told us emphatically that there was no criminal collusion, 0:47:24.440 --> 0:47:26.440 I think we can safely say that if they didn't 0:47:26.520 --> 0:47:28.719 have you know, if they had other information, we'd have 0:47:28.800 --> 0:47:32.160 heard about it. Is the president out of any realistic 0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:35.400 possibility of criminal jeopardy here any not just in them, 0:47:35.440 --> 0:47:42.120 I mean just in general. From Mueller's investigation. Yes, you know, 0:47:42.200 --> 0:47:45.879 we don't. The Southern District of New York investigation is continuing, 0:47:45.960 --> 0:47:49.720 so and that's on a different it's in a different 0:47:49.719 --> 0:47:53.280 place and on a different rhythm, being run by different 0:47:53.280 --> 0:47:56.600 people and looking at different stuff than Mueller looked at. 0:47:57.040 --> 0:48:02.720 But I think, you know, the major, the major alleged misconduct, 0:48:02.840 --> 0:48:05.560 even though it's hard for me to say allege because 0:48:05.560 --> 0:48:07.640 it it looks like it was on the basis of 0:48:08.480 --> 0:48:12.720 virtually nothing, but the major allegation of misconduct against Trump 0:48:13.160 --> 0:48:16.920 was an espionage conspiracy with Russia, and I think he's 0:48:17.200 --> 0:48:20.160 past that hurdle. And then, of course there was the obstruction, 0:48:20.200 --> 0:48:24.080 which I never thought was much of anything. But you know, 0:48:24.120 --> 0:48:25.960 I think you asked me before where I think of 0:48:26.000 --> 0:48:30.200 the way Muller handled this, I think it's really does 0:48:30.280 --> 0:48:33.719 not speak well of him that he abdicated on the 0:48:33.800 --> 0:48:38.080 one question that there really that he was arguably needed 0:48:38.120 --> 0:48:41.359 to answer. I mean, I think there was no collusion case, 0:48:41.440 --> 0:48:44.200 and he probably knew that very early on, and this 0:48:44.400 --> 0:48:49.319 basically came to him buck as a as an obstruction investigation. 0:48:49.400 --> 0:48:52.480 He was retained or he was appointed right on the 0:48:52.520 --> 0:48:57.920 heels of Komi's firing, and right after McCabe opened an 0:48:57.920 --> 0:49:02.360 obstruction case against the president at the FBI, and he 0:49:02.440 --> 0:49:06.279 spent twenty two months that as Muller did, looking at obstruction, 0:49:06.680 --> 0:49:09.200 and in the end he said, well, you know, look, 0:49:09.239 --> 0:49:12.240 I'll give you the facts on both sides of the question, 0:49:12.320 --> 0:49:15.440 and then, you know, do you agree with Professor Dershowitz 0:49:15.520 --> 0:49:17.720 and others who say that not only was that weird, 0:49:17.800 --> 0:49:21.400 but it's really unethical and unfair that the that Muller 0:49:21.520 --> 0:49:23.080 needed to make a call one or the other and 0:49:23.200 --> 0:49:26.120 not do this. Well, I could have, but I didn't. Yeah, 0:49:26.200 --> 0:49:27.719 I don't know. I don't know that I would say 0:49:27.719 --> 0:49:29.839 it was unethical, But I do think it does have 0:49:29.880 --> 0:49:33.160 ethical implications, and that is this book there. You're not 0:49:33.239 --> 0:49:36.520 supposed to have a special counsel unless there's two things. 0:49:36.560 --> 0:49:39.960 There's got to be concrete grounds for criminal investigation, which 0:49:40.000 --> 0:49:44.840 means a crime to investigate, and secondly, a conflict of 0:49:44.880 --> 0:49:48.120 interest that is so profound the Justice Department can't, within 0:49:48.160 --> 0:49:52.480 the ethical rules, run the case itself. So what do 0:49:52.560 --> 0:49:56.120 we see Mueller doing here? Muller comes because there's supposedly 0:49:56.440 --> 0:50:02.600 a conflict for justice, yet he recruits his staff from 0:50:02.640 --> 0:50:07.000 the upper rechelance of the supposedly conflicted Justice Department. When 0:50:07.040 --> 0:50:11.439 he returns indictments or files indictments, he transfers a boast 0:50:11.480 --> 0:50:14.719 of a bunch of them to the component parts of 0:50:14.760 --> 0:50:19.759 the supposedly conflicted Justice Department. And in the end, the 0:50:19.800 --> 0:50:24.120 only decision that he had to make, he basically delegated 0:50:24.160 --> 0:50:28.000 it to the Attorney General, who runs the supposedly conflicted 0:50:28.120 --> 0:50:31.319 Justice Department. So you have to ask, why did we 0:50:31.440 --> 0:50:34.360 need a special counsel If the Justice Department was capable 0:50:34.760 --> 0:50:37.640 of doing all this, what did we need a special 0:50:37.680 --> 0:50:41.800 counsel for very good question. Annie McCarthy. Everybody, you should 0:50:42.600 --> 0:50:45.680 follow his work on a National review. And and you've 0:50:45.680 --> 0:50:48.799 got a podcast over there, right I do. It's called 0:50:48.840 --> 0:50:51.760 the McCarthy Report, so it should be easy enough to remember, 0:50:52.200 --> 0:50:55.640 all right, McCarthy report. Remember me there we go and 0:50:55.680 --> 0:50:57.640 look for any on Fox News, everybody. Andy, thanks so 0:50:57.680 --> 0:51:01.200 much for your time, my friend. We'll talk to you soon. See, 0:51:01.400 --> 0:51:03.760 we'll be back in just a moment. Mac. In February, 0:51:03.920 --> 0:51:08.000 Leadership Institute field organizer Hayden Williams was peacefully helping conservative 0:51:08.000 --> 0:51:11.120 students recruit for their group at UC Berkeley when he 0:51:11.200 --> 0:51:14.640 was viciously attacked by a radical leftist thug. Since then, 0:51:14.640 --> 0:51:17.640 President Trump has taken action, signing an executive order to 0:51:17.640 --> 0:51:21.959 protect students free speech, including conservatives. My friends, but more 0:51:22.040 --> 0:51:25.760 action is needed. You can take that action now. Support 0:51:25.840 --> 0:51:29.960 the Leadership Institute and defend conservative students. Just go to 0:51:30.120 --> 0:51:33.600 take back the Campus dot org. The Leadership Institute is 0:51:33.640 --> 0:51:37.200 the premier organization for educating and training conservative college students. 0:51:37.360 --> 0:51:39.799 With your gift of as little as five dollars a month, 0:51:40.000 --> 0:51:42.640 you can help conservative college students stand up to the 0:51:42.640 --> 0:51:46.680 intimidation and physical attacks of radical leftist campus bullies. The 0:51:46.760 --> 0:51:49.560 left's effort to silence conservative voices on college campuses in 0:51:49.600 --> 0:51:52.160 America has been going on for too long, So please 0:51:52.560 --> 0:51:55.000 visit take back the Campus dot org to make your 0:51:55.120 --> 0:51:59.040 urgent gift to the leadership Institute today. That's take back 0:51:59.160 --> 0:52:04.040 the Campus or take back the campus dot org. Nothing 0:52:04.120 --> 0:52:08.480 you give them, whether a Shifty SHIFT or Jerry Nadler. 0:52:08.680 --> 0:52:11.359 It's a four hundred page report, right. We could give 0:52:11.400 --> 0:52:14.440 them eight hundred pages and it wouldn't be enough. They 0:52:14.440 --> 0:52:18.000 spent over thirty million dollars on an investigation. They found 0:52:18.080 --> 0:52:20.600 no collusion, which by the way, was the most ridiculous 0:52:20.640 --> 0:52:23.680 premise I've ever heard of anyway, and you understand exactly 0:52:23.680 --> 0:52:26.960 what I mean, no collusion. There was no collusion. There 0:52:27.000 --> 0:52:30.319 never was. After thirty million dollars, we're going to start 0:52:30.360 --> 0:52:33.080 this process again because Jerry Magner wants to start it, 0:52:33.200 --> 0:52:36.880 or because SHIFT wants to start it. I'll rely on 0:52:36.960 --> 0:52:39.440 the Attorney General to make decisions, but I will tell 0:52:39.520 --> 0:52:43.960 you anything that's given to them will never be good enough. 0:52:44.320 --> 0:52:46.319 So I think it's somewhat of a waste that time. 0:52:46.360 --> 0:52:48.880 This is just politics at a very low level and 0:52:49.040 --> 0:52:54.640 President's absolutely right, and we know he's right. Denial ain't 0:52:54.680 --> 0:52:59.759 just a river in Egypt, my friends. Democrats are pretending 0:52:59.800 --> 0:53:02.640 like they have not watched, at least many of them 0:53:02.640 --> 0:53:06.040 are pretending like they have not watched the complete deflation 0:53:06.200 --> 0:53:09.680 and eradication of their favorite conspiracy theory, the one that 0:53:09.760 --> 0:53:15.800 says that President Trump somehow, for some reason, and without 0:53:15.800 --> 0:53:19.200 it being you know, able to without being able to 0:53:19.200 --> 0:53:24.279 prove any evidence of, but he colluded with the Russians 0:53:24.719 --> 0:53:27.480 to cheat in the election. And this is why I 0:53:27.520 --> 0:53:29.080 don't know. We just talked to Andy about this, but 0:53:29.120 --> 0:53:31.560 you can already hear Democrats saying, oh, well, now now 0:53:31.560 --> 0:53:34.719 we're gonna try to get him on obstruction. What they 0:53:34.760 --> 0:53:36.799 what they really need to figure out? And I think 0:53:36.840 --> 0:53:38.919 that they haven't made up their minds on this because 0:53:38.960 --> 0:53:43.760 it's a purely political calculation. It's not based in law, 0:53:43.800 --> 0:53:46.319 it's not based in what's ethical or right. It's just 0:53:46.760 --> 0:53:50.480 what will help the Democrats take back power in twenty twenty. 0:53:50.640 --> 0:53:54.719 Are they going to impeach him? Can they find some justification? 0:53:54.800 --> 0:53:56.839 They know it's not going to be collusion, but now 0:53:56.880 --> 0:53:58.920 maybe there's some way that they can get him on 0:53:59.400 --> 0:54:01.800 obstruct I mean the fact that the Southern District of 0:54:01.840 --> 0:54:04.680 New York still has ongoing investigations and there's all these 0:54:04.760 --> 0:54:08.919 investigations of the president. Can you imagine if there were 0:54:09.040 --> 0:54:12.840 ongoing federal investigations of Obama that were just fishing expeditions, 0:54:12.840 --> 0:54:15.719 just just looking for something. You get a bunch of 0:54:15.719 --> 0:54:20.799 Ausa's assistant, US attorneys and FBI agents just going through 0:54:20.840 --> 0:54:22.880 all the you know, all of Obama's You need to 0:54:22.920 --> 0:54:26.040 go back to what was that that guy Tony Rezko 0:54:26.480 --> 0:54:32.480 and go back to domestic terrorists, Bill Ayres, and you know, 0:54:32.520 --> 0:54:34.839 you look, look at all these figures from Obama's past. 0:54:34.880 --> 0:54:37.560 Imagine the FBI just started investigating all that, you know, 0:54:37.600 --> 0:54:41.440 all these different people, at all the different connections. The 0:54:41.480 --> 0:54:44.120 media would have completely lost their minds. And at least 0:54:44.200 --> 0:54:46.160 some of that stuff sounds like it could have happened 0:54:46.239 --> 0:54:49.719 or did happen, Whether there was criminal activity or not, 0:54:49.760 --> 0:54:51.920 you'd have to figure it out. But what we have 0:54:52.000 --> 0:54:56.560 here is just the endless investigation of endless investigations. I mean, 0:54:56.560 --> 0:54:59.040 they're not going to stop there. They're never going to 0:54:59.080 --> 0:55:01.320 stop because they can not accept that they were wrong 0:55:01.719 --> 0:55:06.719 and they cannot accept that they lost He walked up 0:55:06.719 --> 0:55:10.960 to me and wrapped his hands around my face like 0:55:11.040 --> 0:55:15.440 that and pulled me in and started rubbing noses with me. 0:55:16.560 --> 0:55:20.520 And it wasn't, you know, like an eskimo kiss or 0:55:20.680 --> 0:55:24.960 and then stop. It was for like a good fifteen seconds, 0:55:24.960 --> 0:55:27.080 and I remember thinking, is he going to kiss me? 0:55:27.239 --> 0:55:30.400 It's not rape, but it doesn't need to be rape 0:55:31.120 --> 0:55:37.319 to not be right. That's Amy Lapos, second accuser of 0:55:37.560 --> 0:55:41.320 inappropriate conduct. Let's be very clear, not sexual assault or 0:55:42.520 --> 0:55:46.200 but inappropriate conduct. And as she said, it's not it's 0:55:46.239 --> 0:55:49.520 not rape, but that doesn't mean that it's okay. Even 0:55:49.640 --> 0:55:56.200 weirder the conduct in this instance, allegedly even weirder then 0:55:56.239 --> 0:55:59.799 what was initially said. It wasn't like a quick eskimo kiss. 0:55:59.840 --> 0:56:03.400 It kept going as apparently where he rubbed noses briefly, 0:56:03.800 --> 0:56:05.960 you know, he kept rubbing his nose against her nose. 0:56:06.440 --> 0:56:10.399 I'm sorry. It's super weird, folks, I know you know that. 0:56:11.160 --> 0:56:15.480 But you know, they can try to contort reality as 0:56:15.560 --> 0:56:18.000 much as they want. They can do all this different stuff. 0:56:18.000 --> 0:56:21.240 They do everything in their power to make it seem 0:56:21.280 --> 0:56:23.879 like this isn't a super creepy weirdo thing to do. 0:56:24.040 --> 0:56:29.799 It is a super creepy, weirdo thing to do. I 0:56:29.840 --> 0:56:33.200 don't care how much they you know, they try to 0:56:33.239 --> 0:56:38.520 explain this away. There's something very very strange about Joe 0:56:38.520 --> 0:56:42.879 Biden's behavior. I mean, you've got Jillibrand and Pelosi Wang 0:56:42.920 --> 0:56:47.719 and now Pelosi said earlier today that it's not disqualifying. 0:56:48.000 --> 0:56:50.600 But Democrats, you see, they want to give Biden to pass. 0:56:50.680 --> 0:56:53.480 But they can't say that. So what they'll say is 0:56:53.600 --> 0:56:56.280 there shouldn't be consequences, but there should be a conversation. 0:56:56.880 --> 0:57:01.640 Republicans get consequences, Democrats get a conversation. Let's talk about this. 0:57:02.080 --> 0:57:05.600 Republicans should lose their jobs, never never be in public 0:57:05.640 --> 0:57:09.320 life again, be you know, right. And in some cases, 0:57:09.360 --> 0:57:12.960 as we know, like with Kavanaugh, based on lies, based 0:57:12.960 --> 0:57:16.680 on lies, Democrats based on truth. No, no, no consequences. 0:57:16.720 --> 0:57:20.240 Let's just have a conversation. Here's what Jillibrand and Pelosi 0:57:20.240 --> 0:57:23.640 said played nineteen. These women feel to means and that's 0:57:23.680 --> 0:57:26.640 not okay. So if Vice President Biden does choose to 0:57:26.720 --> 0:57:29.040 run for president of the United States, I imagine this 0:57:29.120 --> 0:57:31.160 is a conversation he will be having to have with 0:57:31.200 --> 0:57:33.600 the American people. I know, Jimli Biden a long time, 0:57:33.920 --> 0:57:36.840 My grandchildren loved Joe Biden. I mean, he's an affectionate 0:57:36.960 --> 0:57:41.400 person to children, to senior citizens, to everyone. That's just 0:57:41.480 --> 0:57:43.560 the way he is. He has to understand in the 0:57:43.560 --> 0:57:49.000 world that we're in now that people's face is important 0:57:49.000 --> 0:57:52.240 to them, and what's important is how they receive it, 0:57:52.400 --> 0:57:57.640 not necessarily how you've intended it. He's an affectionate person. 0:57:58.680 --> 0:58:00.840 Have you seen all the all the photos and all 0:58:00.920 --> 0:58:04.000 the video and everything that's out there of how Biden acts. 0:58:04.880 --> 0:58:07.280 Do you think that if Biden had an R next 0:58:07.280 --> 0:58:08.840 to his name, if he were a member of the 0:58:08.920 --> 0:58:13.680 g O P, would these women in the Democratic parties, 0:58:13.720 --> 0:58:16.720 prominent women Nancy Pelosi, third in line for the presidency, 0:58:16.720 --> 0:58:23.800 folks that'll help you sleep at night. These women coming 0:58:23.800 --> 0:58:27.160 out to defend Biden would not do it if this 0:58:27.200 --> 0:58:29.720 were a Republican So this is not about principle, This 0:58:29.840 --> 0:58:33.640 is about power. But Biden's stuff is really weird. I 0:58:33.760 --> 0:58:36.880 understand it's not a huge it's not a huge deal, 0:58:36.920 --> 0:58:38.600 and I'm not trying to make it a huge deal. 0:58:38.920 --> 0:58:41.600 It's really more than anything else. Another instance where we 0:58:41.640 --> 0:58:44.400 see how dishonest the media is and how the double 0:58:44.440 --> 0:58:51.680 standards are absolutely everywhere. I think that Biden's gonna flame 0:58:51.680 --> 0:58:55.080 out very quickly once he gets in. There'll be this 0:58:55.160 --> 0:58:58.400 recognition that this guy that they're so desperate for a 0:58:58.480 --> 0:59:03.120 return to It seemed like the political inevitability of obama 0:59:03.240 --> 0:59:05.600 Ism to the left, and yes, Obama did win two 0:59:05.640 --> 0:59:09.040 elections and was in office for eight years, that they 0:59:09.160 --> 0:59:13.160 think that Biden can be a kind of restorative figure 0:59:13.240 --> 0:59:17.080 back to that glorious time for the Democrat Party. Although 0:59:17.360 --> 0:59:20.760 you know, when Obama was an Democrat party was decimated 0:59:20.760 --> 0:59:24.880 as a party. It lost a tremendous amount of seats 0:59:24.880 --> 0:59:28.600 and state legislatures, a lot of House and Senate seats, laws. 0:59:28.600 --> 0:59:30.280 I mean, there was a lot that did not go 0:59:30.360 --> 0:59:32.800 well if the Democrats. Well, Obama was an office. Obama 0:59:32.920 --> 0:59:38.440 was not somebody who's political popularity translated to other members 0:59:38.560 --> 0:59:41.640 of his party. That just didn't happen. In fact, I 0:59:41.680 --> 0:59:44.560 think that the party had to bear a lot of 0:59:44.600 --> 0:59:52.560 consequences because of who Obama, because of Obama's policies. But 0:59:52.640 --> 0:59:54.560 there is an obvious double standard here and we're going 0:59:54.600 --> 0:59:57.200 to see that continue with Biden. Some of the old 0:59:57.200 --> 1:00:00.040 statements that he made that people in the media I 1:00:00.040 --> 1:00:02.960 had to say we're funny or lighthearted when they when 1:00:03.000 --> 1:00:06.040 you see them again, now you'll say, hold on the 1:00:06.120 --> 1:00:09.320 same media that will dredge up audio tape if somebody 1:00:09.360 --> 1:00:11.680 from ten years ago or that will completely lose their 1:00:11.680 --> 1:00:15.480 minds over a photo or something that someone did thirty 1:00:15.560 --> 1:00:19.640 years ago. In terms of inappropriate I'm not talking about crimes, 1:00:19.640 --> 1:00:23.600 but you know, inappropriate conduct or insensitive conduct. They're gonna 1:00:23.600 --> 1:00:26.520 try to make it sound like, oh, uncle Joe Biden, 1:00:26.600 --> 1:00:29.360 he's not creepy, he's just oh he is, he's he's 1:00:29.520 --> 1:00:32.479 he's a creepster, saying that he's really affectionate. These women 1:00:32.480 --> 1:00:35.200 didn't think it was normal. These women didn't think that. 1:00:35.280 --> 1:00:38.040 You know, I can tell you this. I have never 1:00:38.080 --> 1:00:41.560 tried to eskimo kiss a fellow employee, male or female. 1:00:42.680 --> 1:00:45.760 Never gone for the eskimo kiss um, no matter what 1:00:45.840 --> 1:00:47.720 kind of mood I was in, no matter how it 1:00:47.800 --> 1:00:50.360 was feeling, never leading anything. We just just reb noses 1:00:50.360 --> 1:00:55.960 for seconds, a little nose reb Nope, that did not happen. Oh, 1:00:56.040 --> 1:01:02.000 but speaking of double standards, there's a second accuser against 1:01:02.080 --> 1:01:05.840 Justin Fairfax, Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, And there was a 1:01:05.880 --> 1:01:07.920 story today in the New York Times. You can't make 1:01:07.960 --> 1:01:13.840 this up about how that just that that whole political 1:01:13.960 --> 1:01:19.080 scandal in Virginia, Well it just went, you know, poof, 1:01:19.080 --> 1:01:23.960 it just disappeared. Oh this is so surprising. Guys, How 1:01:24.000 --> 1:01:26.640 did these scandals in Virginia? You know, I love the media. 1:01:26.640 --> 1:01:28.240 I mean the media is like the guy who lights 1:01:28.280 --> 1:01:30.800 the house on fire and then whatever arrives goes. Isn't 1:01:30.800 --> 1:01:32.920 it the craziest thing? This house is on fire. I 1:01:32.920 --> 1:01:36.760 don't know how this happened. You know, they're like the 1:01:36.880 --> 1:01:39.439 arsonist and firefighter at the same time. Hey, hey, let's 1:01:39.440 --> 1:01:41.720 get some buckets of water to throw out to put 1:01:41.720 --> 1:01:45.520 out this fire. I just started. Yeah, the media covered 1:01:45.560 --> 1:01:48.480 up the whole Fairfax I should well. They covered it 1:01:48.520 --> 1:01:50.640 up initially by not reporting on it. Now they're letting 1:01:50.680 --> 1:01:53.920 it whither away and they're just gonna move on from it. 1:01:53.960 --> 1:01:56.960 But Meredith Watson, who's the second accuser for Fairfax, she's 1:01:56.960 --> 1:01:59.720 saying she wished she came out sooner. And you know, 1:01:59.760 --> 1:02:02.880 this is still a story play twenty. I feel guilty. 1:02:04.000 --> 1:02:08.000 Why do you feel guilty? It happened to her after 1:02:08.040 --> 1:02:15.800 it happened to me, and had I had the strength? 1:02:17.280 --> 1:02:24.800 Are the courage to say something in two thousand, maybe 1:02:24.840 --> 1:02:28.320 it never would have happened to her. It was a 1:02:28.440 --> 1:02:37.600 huge betrayal. He was my friend. I don't understand how 1:02:37.720 --> 1:02:41.720 need do that to somebody that you've been a friend too, 1:02:42.560 --> 1:02:45.200 and who's confided in you about things. I just don't 1:02:45.280 --> 1:02:49.520 understand how you need do that. Does anyone think that 1:02:49.520 --> 1:02:52.400 that doesn't sound like a credible retelling of events and 1:02:52.400 --> 1:02:56.640 that woman is sharing anything other than real pain and real, 1:02:57.480 --> 1:03:00.880 real angst resulting from an alt against her. I mean, 1:03:01.680 --> 1:03:03.800 I don't think a woman can sound I mean, compare 1:03:04.120 --> 1:03:08.640 that that story that she's telling, the way she's telling it, 1:03:08.720 --> 1:03:11.200 how she sounds she's telling it to say Julie Sweatnik, 1:03:11.240 --> 1:03:14.160 the third accuser of Kavanaugh, who Democrats were willing to 1:03:14.160 --> 1:03:20.480 initially believe, just because I find Meredith Watson entirely credible, unbelievable. 1:03:20.560 --> 1:03:22.640 There's nothing about her story that does not add up. 1:03:23.200 --> 1:03:27.920 Where are the me to mobs? Where where are the 1:03:28.000 --> 1:03:31.480 people that you know storm Capitol Hill that get all 1:03:31.520 --> 1:03:34.720 angry at Republicans that you know did everything to stop Kavanaugh? 1:03:34.760 --> 1:03:37.480 And I don't know, I don't I don't see them. 1:03:37.520 --> 1:03:39.600 All of a sudden, there they've just disappeared. They're almost 1:03:39.640 --> 1:03:44.000 like the anti war left that just evaporated under the 1:03:44.040 --> 1:03:48.600 Obama administration. When Obama increased the troops in Afghanistan, who 1:03:48.640 --> 1:03:52.600 over one hundred thousand? Where were all the Code Pink protesters? Then? 1:03:52.640 --> 1:03:55.240 Where were all the anti war leftists? Oh, it's just 1:03:55.800 --> 1:03:59.760 more important things, apparently than stopping the massive escalation of 1:03:59.760 --> 1:04:03.000 a war that, by the way, resulted in more US casualties. 1:04:03.680 --> 1:04:07.959 The Obama administration racked up more US casualties in Afghanistan 1:04:08.720 --> 1:04:12.000 than the eight years of Bush or so far the 1:04:12.240 --> 1:04:17.920 two years of Trump put together. So not a lot 1:04:17.920 --> 1:04:20.880 of interest there obviously from the left, and same thing here. 1:04:21.720 --> 1:04:25.240 It's just all all about the jockeying and jostling for 1:04:25.280 --> 1:04:28.880 power for the leftist that there's not they I have 1:04:28.920 --> 1:04:31.800 a hard time taking them seriously on these matters because 1:04:32.760 --> 1:04:36.560 they pretend to be advocates for a certain principle, but 1:04:36.680 --> 1:04:39.560 really they are just pushing to be in greater control 1:04:39.800 --> 1:04:42.520 and they want to just trash the other side. That's 1:04:42.560 --> 1:04:46.000 the primary motivation that they have for so much of this. 1:04:46.440 --> 1:04:48.640 Meredith Watson sounds like a woman in a lot of 1:04:48.680 --> 1:04:52.400 pain with a lot of who you know, who needs 1:04:52.480 --> 1:04:56.480 and deserves a lot of sympathy for what happened to her. 1:04:56.560 --> 1:04:58.880 And yes, you could say Buck, that was in an interview. 1:04:58.880 --> 1:05:01.800 The media's obviously talking to or okay, but it's how 1:05:01.880 --> 1:05:03.840 they talk to her, how often they talk to her. 1:05:03.960 --> 1:05:05.520 Is this a front page news story or is this 1:05:05.560 --> 1:05:09.160 on the back pages? Is this something to talk about 1:05:09.240 --> 1:05:10.920 once in a while, or is this something that they 1:05:10.960 --> 1:05:15.360 make a repeat story so that the heat gets turned 1:05:15.400 --> 1:05:17.680 up on Fairfax to resign. You know the answers to this. 1:05:17.720 --> 1:05:22.040 They don't want Fairfax to resign for the optics and 1:05:22.160 --> 1:05:24.440 for the fact that you'd have a major Democrat that 1:05:24.480 --> 1:05:26.440 would be going down in the state of Virginia, a 1:05:26.560 --> 1:05:30.160 very important state in the twenty twenty election. So that's 1:05:30.200 --> 1:05:32.840 what's happening here. The stories just went poof about Northam, 1:05:32.920 --> 1:05:38.400 about Fairfax, about herring oh on the media is like, 1:05:38.400 --> 1:05:40.480 how did that happen? We all know how it happened. 1:05:41.320 --> 1:05:43.160 There's a lot of things I know about Joe Biden. 1:05:43.240 --> 1:05:48.040 I'm don him for a long time. He is extremely affectionate. 1:05:48.440 --> 1:05:52.320 He's very affectionate, I find oddly affectionate. He gives people 1:05:52.320 --> 1:05:55.280 on the mouth. I've seen him rub the shoulders of 1:05:55.360 --> 1:05:59.920 women and men. Joe Biden calls them expressions of affect 1:06:00.320 --> 1:06:04.080 Uncle Joe, as we affectionally call him, very very affectionate. 1:06:04.280 --> 1:06:07.520 He's touchy feely. He's been doing it his entire life 1:06:07.920 --> 1:06:13.560 in an affectionate way. He suffers from being overtly affectionate. 1:06:13.640 --> 1:06:15.880 To say that, you know, Biden should change the way 1:06:15.920 --> 1:06:18.840 he is, or that he needs to be less affectionate, 1:06:18.960 --> 1:06:20.440 I think is a problem. I think the next time 1:06:20.480 --> 1:06:22.920 I see Joe Biden, if he doesn't hug me and 1:06:23.040 --> 1:06:25.080 give me a kiss and hold my hand, that's not 1:06:25.120 --> 1:06:27.600 the Joe Biden. I knew he's a nice guy. He's 1:06:27.640 --> 1:06:30.560 not a predator. And this is ridiculous. Let me just 1:06:30.600 --> 1:06:35.240 say it. This is ridiculous. I just want to know 1:06:35.320 --> 1:06:38.000 what's ridiculous. I mean, you know, Mika there is in 1:06:38.840 --> 1:06:43.680 high dudgeon. It is ridiculous, sir, you know. I mean 1:06:43.720 --> 1:06:45.880 it's like she was at the spa and they didn't 1:06:45.880 --> 1:06:50.440 have the proper organic lemon peel slices to put in 1:06:50.520 --> 1:06:56.360 her deionized water. I mean, she's very upset, But I 1:06:56.480 --> 1:07:01.320 just want to know what's ridiculous is there's no let's 1:07:01.320 --> 1:07:04.480 be clear about this There's no allegation out there about 1:07:04.600 --> 1:07:07.320 Biden doing any of this stuff that anyone really disputes. 1:07:07.920 --> 1:07:09.800 It's just a question of how creepy and how big 1:07:09.800 --> 1:07:12.320 a deal it is. It's definitely creepy, So on the 1:07:12.360 --> 1:07:14.480 one to ten creepiness scale, you know, where does it 1:07:14.520 --> 1:07:18.280 fall and how much should people care about it? Those 1:07:18.320 --> 1:07:21.320 are all fine things, But to be so outraged about it, 1:07:21.360 --> 1:07:23.960 I mean, they accuse Republicans of stuff that didn't even happen, 1:07:24.160 --> 1:07:26.600 and we're supposed to take action against them, right, they 1:07:26.600 --> 1:07:30.400 accuse Republicans, they lie about Republicans like Havanaugh to take 1:07:30.440 --> 1:07:34.360 them down, and you know, they seem to think that 1:07:34.720 --> 1:07:36.600 we are just going to like let this go. That 1:07:36.720 --> 1:07:40.240 Biden is a weird he's a weirdo. Nuzzling somebody's nose, 1:07:40.280 --> 1:07:42.760 you don't know, in a professional environment or in a 1:07:42.800 --> 1:07:46.040 professional setting where you have power, where you are in control, 1:07:46.840 --> 1:07:50.080 is weird? Okay. No one's saying that Biden should go 1:07:50.080 --> 1:07:51.720 to prison or is a terrible person or anything that 1:07:51.800 --> 1:07:53.960 We're just saying that guy's a weirdo, all right, the 1:07:54.000 --> 1:07:58.880 same you know, does it matter that Elizabeth Warren is 1:07:59.240 --> 1:08:01.600 not actually Cherokee and that she lied up being a 1:08:01.680 --> 1:08:04.840 Cherokee to advance herself professionally for many, many years. I mean, 1:08:04.840 --> 1:08:06.840 it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things in life, 1:08:06.880 --> 1:08:09.000 but does it should it matter in terms of her 1:08:09.040 --> 1:08:11.439 judgment to the American people that she thought, Oh, I'm 1:08:11.480 --> 1:08:14.400 gonna say I'm one, one thou and twenty fourth Cherokee, 1:08:14.520 --> 1:08:18.000 So that proves me right? Is that weird? Yeah, that's 1:08:18.160 --> 1:08:23.559 very weird. Okay, that's also very very weird. And you know, 1:08:23.760 --> 1:08:26.960 satire and mockery or things that these that these democrats, 1:08:27.000 --> 1:08:30.680 they can't handle it because the so much of the 1:08:30.800 --> 1:08:33.920 of the pitch for them is the construct around whatever 1:08:33.920 --> 1:08:36.600 the media is telling people. But if people are snickering 1:08:36.680 --> 1:08:39.720 behind your back because they know that you're actually kind 1:08:39.760 --> 1:08:43.320 of a strange a strange bird, you know, a strange 1:08:43.400 --> 1:08:46.679 duck is a strange duck stranger than a strange bird, 1:08:46.720 --> 1:08:51.680 I don't know, quack quack. That's very hard then to 1:08:51.960 --> 1:08:56.160 keep the mythology around people going. But speaking of being 1:08:56.200 --> 1:08:59.120 a bit strange, a little transition here into the latest 1:08:59.200 --> 1:09:04.559 from to O Rourke, who is really a combination of 1:09:05.400 --> 1:09:09.679 the guy from What's the What's the movie? Oh yeah, 1:09:09.880 --> 1:09:12.559 it is really a combination of Napoleon Dynamite and Keanu 1:09:12.600 --> 1:09:16.800 Reeves the nineties. Yeah, like, I just totally I just 1:09:16.840 --> 1:09:19.040 want to run for president and have you put all 1:09:19.040 --> 1:09:21.880 of your hopes and dreams like in this basket that 1:09:21.920 --> 1:09:25.200 I'm going to carry around. Does anyone else care? Again, 1:09:25.240 --> 1:09:28.880 not a big deal, but a little weird that Beto 1:09:29.280 --> 1:09:32.880 only seems to wear a blue button down shirts. Is 1:09:32.880 --> 1:09:34.599 it the same shirt? Does he just have a closet 1:09:34.600 --> 1:09:37.599 full of you'll see this. I've never seen him not 1:09:37.720 --> 1:09:40.320 wearing a blue button down shirt with rolled up sleeves. 1:09:40.320 --> 1:09:44.760 Is this the Beto uniform? Um? Not a big deal. 1:09:45.320 --> 1:09:47.960 Not going to solve world piece, not gonna cure cancer, 1:09:48.000 --> 1:09:50.479 whether Beto changes a shirt or not. But it's a 1:09:50.520 --> 1:09:52.840 little weird. You know what. Else, it's weird that he 1:09:52.960 --> 1:09:55.840 thinks that, you know what, people really want more town 1:09:55.960 --> 1:10:02.799 halls with oh Man, with elected or with appointed officials, 1:10:02.840 --> 1:10:05.400 not even like the officials play clip nine. That's why 1:10:05.400 --> 1:10:09.320 as president, I'll sign an executive order on the first 1:10:09.400 --> 1:10:13.639 day in office requiring every single cabinet secretary to hold 1:10:13.680 --> 1:10:17.240 a town hall meeting like this every single month, to 1:10:17.360 --> 1:10:19.599 listen to you and to be accountable to you. So 1:10:19.640 --> 1:10:24.360 that we deliver for you. Democracy is what we need 1:10:24.400 --> 1:10:27.280 if this country is gonna make it. I mean that 1:10:27.360 --> 1:10:30.759 just sounds so horrible. Yeah, every month, every you're gonna 1:10:30.800 --> 1:10:34.320 have to like have the department like that. The Secretary 1:10:34.560 --> 1:10:37.960 of Health and Human Services is gonna have to sit 1:10:38.080 --> 1:10:40.880 on a bunch of like random people who don't know 1:10:41.000 --> 1:10:44.640 anything about the issue per se, are gonna ask questions, 1:10:44.680 --> 1:10:50.000 are gonna televise it. It's a great idea of betto Ah. 1:10:50.240 --> 1:10:53.720 You're an amazing You're an amazing fella, mister betto He 1:10:53.880 --> 1:10:56.400 also just says other things that are that are demonstrably 1:10:56.960 --> 1:11:01.960 bizarre and untrue. Play play eight D. These kinds of 1:11:02.080 --> 1:11:06.800 challenges in the lifetimes of anyone in this auditorium, regardless 1:11:06.800 --> 1:11:10.040 of how young or how old you are. This economy, 1:11:10.160 --> 1:11:16.160 this this unprecedented concentration of wealth and power and privilege 1:11:16.200 --> 1:11:20.559 we haven't seen since the last true progressive era, that 1:11:20.680 --> 1:11:24.040 center of clobature referred to that produced Teddy Roosevelt in 1:11:24.120 --> 1:11:29.479 some extraordinary progressive reforms healthcare system where people are dying 1:11:29.720 --> 1:11:34.800 of diabetes and the flu and curable cancers in the 1:11:34.880 --> 1:11:38.879 year two nineteen, in the wealthiest of the most powerful 1:11:38.960 --> 1:11:41.920 copy second, does Beto not realize that people die from 1:11:41.960 --> 1:11:44.200 the flu because they die from the flu because it's 1:11:44.200 --> 1:11:47.599 a virus that we have no cure for or vaccine 1:11:48.080 --> 1:11:54.080 that is proven effective against. To see, people still die 1:11:54.200 --> 1:11:56.600 from the flu. Yes, yes, many tens of thousands of 1:11:56.600 --> 1:12:02.519 people do because it's the flu. That's not you who 1:12:02.560 --> 1:12:05.280 needs facts. Betto has his blue shirt and he has 1:12:05.280 --> 1:12:10.160 a vision for America. Our three coming up.

Let's make America great again. 1:13:12.120 --> 1:13:14.000 I think to myself, well, exactly when did you think 1:13:14.000 --> 1:13:17.720 America was great? It certainly wasn't when people were in 1:13:17.800 --> 1:13:21.559 slave It certainly wasn't when women didn't have the right 1:13:21.600 --> 1:13:24.360 to vote. It certainly wasn't when the LGBT community and 1:13:24.520 --> 1:13:26.320 was denied the rights to which it was in times. 1:13:26.360 --> 1:13:30.000 That phrase echo as discrimination in your ears. It takes 1:13:30.080 --> 1:13:33.639 us back to I think an American past and never 1:13:33.680 --> 1:13:37.240 in fact really existed in this notion of greatness. Let's 1:13:37.360 --> 1:13:42.800 unpack former Obama administration Attorney General Eric Holder there from him, 1:13:42.800 --> 1:13:45.479 and let's let's do this. Shall we unpack what he says? 1:13:46.920 --> 1:13:54.639 He rejects this notion of in America that was ever great. 1:13:55.800 --> 1:13:57.519 How else can you explain? He says, Well, we had 1:13:57.520 --> 1:13:59.439 slaves before me could vote. I mean that takes you 1:13:59.479 --> 1:14:02.799 all the way up into the into the twentieth century. 1:14:03.720 --> 1:14:06.000 The LGBT community didn't have rights, So that takes you 1:14:06.080 --> 1:14:09.599 up into the Obama administration. So if America wasn't great 1:14:09.640 --> 1:14:12.440 all the way up until the Obama administration, then America, 1:14:12.520 --> 1:14:16.720 according to Derek Holder, has never been great unless the 1:14:16.760 --> 1:14:19.120 only time it has been great is the Trump presidency, 1:14:19.160 --> 1:14:22.000 which you and I might think is kind of funny. 1:14:22.000 --> 1:14:23.679 I mean, I think it was great before then too, 1:14:24.080 --> 1:14:26.639 but I'm sure Eric Holder does not take that position. 1:14:28.520 --> 1:14:32.240 But this for me is a reminder of a common place, 1:14:34.160 --> 1:14:37.519 a commonplace way that democrats think of this country. You know, 1:14:37.520 --> 1:14:40.280 there are a lot of people who take pride in 1:14:40.360 --> 1:14:44.200 being American, but leftists generally take pride in thinking they're 1:14:44.320 --> 1:14:48.360 better than America. That's where that's where they get a 1:14:48.360 --> 1:14:50.479 sense of self worth. You know. This is why you 1:14:50.520 --> 1:14:53.400 know Obama's message was very much a promise of a 1:14:54.040 --> 1:14:58.680 fundamental transformation, that he was a near Messianic figure who 1:14:58.680 --> 1:15:02.479 would wipe away this ms of the American past and 1:15:02.600 --> 1:15:04.600 bring us into some new promise language. As we know. 1:15:04.640 --> 1:15:07.919 I mean, this is all just this was all just crap, 1:15:09.000 --> 1:15:11.800 wasn't It wasn't true, It wasn't the case. But there 1:15:11.840 --> 1:15:16.800 there is a blame America first, and blame America as 1:15:16.880 --> 1:15:19.640 quickly as you can, attitude that is prevalent on the 1:15:19.720 --> 1:15:22.360 left and Eric Holder, whom I've heard people say, I 1:15:22.360 --> 1:15:26.360 don't know if this is to be taken seriously or not, 1:15:27.000 --> 1:15:29.599 but I've heard people say that Eric Holders considering running 1:15:29.600 --> 1:15:32.720 for president too, and the Democrats are soon going to 1:15:32.800 --> 1:15:37.280 get to the the you know, the the dance hall 1:15:37.360 --> 1:15:40.080 doesn't have room for any more people part of this equation. 1:15:40.120 --> 1:15:41.680 I mean, you know, I really don't think you can 1:15:41.720 --> 1:15:44.320 have a primary with thirty candidates in it, but this 1:15:44.320 --> 1:15:49.000 seems to be where we're heading. Holder, though, understood his 1:15:49.160 --> 1:15:51.639 role in the Obama administration, which was very much to 1:15:52.000 --> 1:15:55.040 protect President Obama and to protect the Democratic Party. I mean, 1:15:55.040 --> 1:15:58.200 he was a political infighter. You look at what Holder 1:15:58.320 --> 1:16:00.559 did in his approach to his job, not just fast 1:16:00.640 --> 1:16:03.559 and furious and some of the other debacles that now 1:16:03.600 --> 1:16:05.920 are all swept under the rug and people pretend like 1:16:05.960 --> 1:16:09.640 they never happened. But you look at what someone like 1:16:09.720 --> 1:16:12.360 Jeff Sessions or even Attorney General Barr, how he is 1:16:12.400 --> 1:16:15.519 supposed to approach the role. He's expected to be not 1:16:15.640 --> 1:16:21.439 just neutral, but a kind of paragon of non partisan 1:16:21.520 --> 1:16:24.120 perfection in the role. Meanwhile, when Holder was in the job. 1:16:24.200 --> 1:16:27.040 They all knew that he was, as Holder said, Obama's wingman. 1:16:28.080 --> 1:16:31.719 That was the claim that he was Obama's right hand guy, 1:16:31.760 --> 1:16:35.080 and he was, I mean, to Holder's credit or infamy, 1:16:35.120 --> 1:16:36.880 depending on how you want to view it, he was 1:16:36.920 --> 1:16:39.679 in fact right hand man to President Obama all along. 1:16:40.240 --> 1:16:45.640 But Holder also holds views that are very commonplace among Democrats, 1:16:45.840 --> 1:16:48.960 and he's somebody who has said I believe it was 1:16:49.040 --> 1:16:50.639 it was Holder who said that America is a nation 1:16:50.640 --> 1:16:53.360 of cowards because we never talk about race. Reality is 1:16:53.400 --> 1:16:55.320 that we talk about race in this country all the time. 1:16:56.880 --> 1:16:59.200 The reality is that we talk about race and have 1:16:59.320 --> 1:17:01.720 to be very, very very cautious because there are only 1:17:01.760 --> 1:17:04.840 certain ways you are allowed to talk about race. You know, 1:17:04.920 --> 1:17:10.040 it is now expected that, at least among Democrats and 1:17:10.120 --> 1:17:13.520 the left and the media and the academy, that white privilege, 1:17:13.560 --> 1:17:15.479 which I think is one of these stupidest and most 1:17:15.520 --> 1:17:20.839 offensive phrases in common usage these days, that white privilege 1:17:20.920 --> 1:17:24.000 is just taken as a thing. You know, I'm still 1:17:24.040 --> 1:17:27.320 waiting for my white privilege check. I'm waiting for someone 1:17:27.320 --> 1:17:28.800 to say, oh, I'm going to hire you because you've 1:17:28.800 --> 1:17:31.880 your white privilege over the other fifty white guys who 1:17:31.960 --> 1:17:33.760 kind of look like you, kind of sound like you, 1:17:33.800 --> 1:17:37.920 and want the same job. Where's the white privilege? I 1:17:37.960 --> 1:17:41.040 just I need someone to explain to me how there's 1:17:41.479 --> 1:17:43.719 how this is even worthy of being set out loud, 1:17:43.720 --> 1:17:46.160 that people have something called white privilege. I deny that 1:17:46.160 --> 1:17:48.360 there is such a thing, and I would also deny 1:17:48.439 --> 1:17:52.240 that it is in any way a useful thing to 1:17:52.240 --> 1:17:54.439 talk about, not only because it does not exist. But 1:17:54.479 --> 1:17:57.040 even if you theoretically believe that there is such a 1:17:57.040 --> 1:17:59.280 thing as white white privilege, how do you quantify it, 1:18:00.160 --> 1:18:02.960 how do you offset it? What are you supposed to 1:18:03.040 --> 1:18:05.720 do about it as a white person? There are no 1:18:05.760 --> 1:18:09.639 answers here, But you know, holder knows that it's just 1:18:09.720 --> 1:18:14.439 it's among Democrats the cheapest and easiest applause line to 1:18:15.200 --> 1:18:18.719 speak of in these these sweeping terms about our racist 1:18:18.720 --> 1:18:21.479 past and how how bad we have been as a country. 1:18:22.000 --> 1:18:24.920 That's why I says, you know, America was really never great, 1:18:25.320 --> 1:18:30.200 which this is mainstream thinking among many Democrats, that America 1:18:30.240 --> 1:18:32.880 has sinned around the world and at home, and that 1:18:32.960 --> 1:18:37.040 Republicans are a bunch of jingoistic maniacs who just want 1:18:37.040 --> 1:18:39.599 to wave their American flags while they drink bud light 1:18:39.680 --> 1:18:42.639 and you know, go race their four by fours out 1:18:42.680 --> 1:18:45.000 in the yard, and you know all that, you know something, 1:18:45.040 --> 1:18:47.720 You're like, Buck, that sounds great, I know, but that's 1:18:47.720 --> 1:18:51.639 a caricature. We all recognize that as a caricature, but 1:18:52.000 --> 1:18:54.320 holder things that we are not aware enough of the 1:18:54.400 --> 1:18:57.679 racism of our past. I think that many Democrats agree 1:18:57.680 --> 1:19:02.200 with them play five that judges, like everybody, all other 1:19:02.240 --> 1:19:06.280 Americans carry with them implicit biases, and especially in the 1:19:06.280 --> 1:19:09.280 criminal justice spheres. How do you fix it? Well, you 1:19:09.280 --> 1:19:11.639 certainly have to have training. You have to make people 1:19:11.640 --> 1:19:14.520 aware of the fact that they do carry these biases 1:19:15.000 --> 1:19:17.120 and make them understand that. You know, if you see 1:19:17.439 --> 1:19:19.840 an African American defendant in front of you, that's going 1:19:19.880 --> 1:19:24.559 to probably trigger things in your mind unconsciously, subconsciously, and 1:19:24.640 --> 1:19:27.639 you're perhaps going to treat that person differently than somebody 1:19:27.640 --> 1:19:30.040 who shows up in a tie and has you know, 1:19:30.080 --> 1:19:32.559 a great lawyer that they have paid for. You're going 1:19:32.640 --> 1:19:34.559 to maybe cut that person a break that you wouldn't 1:19:34.560 --> 1:19:38.679 otherwise give to a Hispanic or African American defendant. People 1:19:38.720 --> 1:19:40.880 have to be just aware of that, and then that 1:19:41.000 --> 1:19:46.000 training has to continue So here's a fun fact. There's 1:19:46.080 --> 1:19:50.280 no evidence whatsoever that anyone can point to that implicit 1:19:50.439 --> 1:19:55.320 bias training has any impact on implicit bias. I mean, 1:19:55.680 --> 1:20:00.439 this is a kind of social science voodoo that there 1:20:00.520 --> 1:20:02.599 is no they people talk about this, Oh we need 1:20:02.640 --> 1:20:06.519 implicit bias training if somebody has an implicit or subconscious bias, 1:20:06.560 --> 1:20:10.439 I assure you having an hour of classroom time telling 1:20:10.439 --> 1:20:14.200 you not to be subconsciously biased will do nothing. So 1:20:14.439 --> 1:20:18.160 start with that. I mean, this is just this is meaningless. 1:20:18.200 --> 1:20:21.439 This is meaningless pablum from holder on this issue. And 1:20:21.479 --> 1:20:23.960 remember this guy who's Attorney General, folks, the senior most 1:20:24.000 --> 1:20:26.759 law enforcement official in the United States government for years 1:20:27.320 --> 1:20:31.120 and is still a Democrat and very high, very high standing. 1:20:31.840 --> 1:20:33.599 But another question I have if we're going to talk 1:20:33.600 --> 1:20:37.120 about implicit bias and racist baggage and racism in this country. 1:20:38.160 --> 1:20:40.320 I just pose this as a question and won't follow 1:20:40.360 --> 1:20:42.839 up with an answer, but it would be it's interesting 1:20:42.880 --> 1:20:44.840 if you try to get the left to weigh in 1:20:44.920 --> 1:20:48.120 on is it possible to have implicit bias against white people? 1:20:49.479 --> 1:20:52.240 Think about that one a little more. Let that one 1:20:52.320 --> 1:20:54.439 just bounce around for a moment. Is it possible for 1:20:54.479 --> 1:20:56.439 people to have an implicit We're being told all the 1:20:56.439 --> 1:20:58.880 time that there's white privilege. So there are people who 1:20:58.920 --> 1:21:00.960 are white who are getting all kinds of benefits and 1:21:00.960 --> 1:21:04.320 advancing themselves because of their whiteness. Meanwhile, I don't think 1:21:04.360 --> 1:21:07.040 whiteness is in short supply. I don't know anybody who's 1:21:07.120 --> 1:21:11.400 benefiting professionally or otherwise merely from the fact of being white. 1:21:12.720 --> 1:21:14.879 But is it possible for them to be implicit bias 1:21:14.920 --> 1:21:19.840 from people of any non white background against white people. 1:21:20.880 --> 1:21:22.439 You will hear most people on the left say the 1:21:22.479 --> 1:21:26.320 answer is no, which is a fascinating discussion in and 1:21:26.439 --> 1:21:29.599 of itself. That essentially, anti white racism is not possible 1:21:29.600 --> 1:21:34.559 because they view race entirely as through the lens of 1:21:34.760 --> 1:21:40.360 being a social construct. So in a society like ours 1:21:40.560 --> 1:21:42.880 where the majority is white, although it's not going to 1:21:42.920 --> 1:21:44.679 be the case that much longer in this country based 1:21:44.680 --> 1:21:48.040 on the demographic trends, but insided like like ours, it's 1:21:48.040 --> 1:21:50.599 impossible for there to be anti white racism because racism 1:21:50.600 --> 1:21:56.360 requires power. That's what they say. They redefine what it 1:21:56.439 --> 1:21:59.559 is to be racist, They redefine the very concept of 1:21:59.680 --> 1:22:04.280 race is such that it's not about treating people thinking 1:22:04.360 --> 1:22:08.120 about people acting toward people differently because of their skin color, 1:22:08.920 --> 1:22:15.839 making moral and character and other assumptions about someone because 1:22:15.840 --> 1:22:20.719 of their pigmentation and some of their genetically dictated features. 1:22:21.160 --> 1:22:23.439 That's what I think of as racism. The left thinks 1:22:23.439 --> 1:22:29.680 of racism entirely through the lens of a power construct. 1:22:30.600 --> 1:22:32.160 And so this is how you get all this talk 1:22:32.160 --> 1:22:37.040 about white privilege and even now white supremacy, which you've 1:22:37.040 --> 1:22:40.840 noticed has been expanded well beyond what it had previously 1:22:40.880 --> 1:22:44.120 been thought of. Right, white supremacy used to be people 1:22:44.160 --> 1:22:49.200 that would march around with swastika's tattooed on their foreheads 1:22:49.360 --> 1:22:52.200 and you know, yelling about white power. And they've always 1:22:52.240 --> 1:22:56.840 been this noisy fringe of idiots and losers. But now 1:22:56.880 --> 1:23:02.160 white supremacy is things like, you know, the the feeling 1:23:02.200 --> 1:23:06.160 that people have based upon someone's dress code or someone's 1:23:06.200 --> 1:23:09.920 choice of what they wear when they walk into a courtroom. No, 1:23:10.160 --> 1:23:12.880 it's white supremacy to expect that somebody wear a jacket 1:23:12.880 --> 1:23:16.799 and tie. You know what you heard Joe Biden recently 1:23:16.800 --> 1:23:20.320 talk about how you know that this is a speaking 1:23:20.320 --> 1:23:23.920 about about the problem we have is white culture. I mean, 1:23:23.960 --> 1:23:26.439 first of all, Joe Biden to say that, I mean, 1:23:26.520 --> 1:23:32.639 the guy is not exactly got a lot of street cred. 1:23:32.680 --> 1:23:34.080 I don't know what else to say. I mean, Joe, 1:23:34.200 --> 1:23:38.040 Joe Biden is not uptricularly is not a guy that 1:23:38.080 --> 1:23:41.799 you would think of as understanding anybody, at least inherently 1:23:41.880 --> 1:23:46.800 understanding anybody outside of his own immediate circles. But this 1:23:46.920 --> 1:23:48.280 is the way that you need that, this is the 1:23:48.320 --> 1:23:50.519 way that you're told to talk about these things from 1:23:50.520 --> 1:23:52.200 a level. So I just think it's interesting because you know, 1:23:52.280 --> 1:23:56.439 Holder wants to lecture us about racist baggage, but he 1:23:56.479 --> 1:23:58.799 doesn't have any solutions, and he doesn't even have answers 1:23:58.800 --> 1:24:01.880 to straightforward questions. And in fact, the left doesn't have 1:24:02.040 --> 1:24:04.080 answers to these questions. And when they do try to 1:24:04.120 --> 1:24:11.240 give answers, they're entirely unsatisfying because they're intellectually untenable. I mean, 1:24:11.280 --> 1:24:15.599 they're self contradictory. You can't adjust your definition of what 1:24:15.720 --> 1:24:19.639 racism is based upon the race of an individual, because 1:24:19.680 --> 1:24:23.080 then you're redefining what it is to be racist. But 1:24:23.200 --> 1:24:25.519 that is in fact what happens all the time among 1:24:25.560 --> 1:24:28.280 Democrats and the left. If we look for consistency, we're 1:24:28.280 --> 1:24:32.360 going to be looking for a very very long time, 1:24:32.439 --> 1:24:35.599 my friends, but that is where we are. I've got 1:24:36.720 --> 1:24:40.240 more coming up. Stay with me. Conservatives are under siege 1:24:40.240 --> 1:24:43.680 on campuses. You know this, my friends. And back in February, 1:24:43.680 --> 1:24:45.639 there was an incident that really showed us just how 1:24:45.680 --> 1:24:49.919 bad it's gotten. The Leadership Institute's field organizer, Hayden Williams, 1:24:49.960 --> 1:24:52.920 was peacefully helping conservative students recruit for their group when 1:24:53.000 --> 1:24:57.240 he was attacked by a vicious radical leftist thug. You now, 1:24:57.479 --> 1:24:59.960 President Trump has taken action. He signed an executive order 1:25:00.080 --> 1:25:03.759 to protect conservative students free speech, but more action is needed. 1:25:04.120 --> 1:25:08.160 You can help. Go to take back the Campus dot 1:25:08.280 --> 1:25:12.000 org to support the Leadership Institute and defend conservative students. 1:25:12.280 --> 1:25:15.800 The Leadership Institute is the premier organization for educating and 1:25:15.880 --> 1:25:19.960 training conservative college students now. The left effort to silence 1:25:20.000 --> 1:25:22.920 conservative voices on campuses has gone on for far too long. 1:25:23.000 --> 1:25:25.519 My friends, Hayden Williams took a punch for all of us. 1:25:25.640 --> 1:25:28.320 Now it's time to fight back and protect conservative students 1:25:28.320 --> 1:25:32.080 on campus everywhere. Visit take back the Campus dot org 1:25:32.120 --> 1:25:34.559 to make your urgent gift to the Leadership Institute today. 1:25:34.920 --> 1:25:39.439 That's take back the campus dot org. So I don't 1:25:39.479 --> 1:25:41.760 know if you saw my announcement speech, but I did 1:25:41.760 --> 1:25:47.479 it right outside of Trump International. Did you see it? Well? 1:25:47.520 --> 1:25:50.360 The reason why I took the fight to him is 1:25:50.400 --> 1:25:54.240 because President Trump is creating so much division and hate 1:25:54.280 --> 1:25:58.639 in this country. But he is very small. He is weak, 1:25:58.760 --> 1:26:01.439 He is a coward. He is a leader who actually 1:26:01.479 --> 1:26:05.840 punches down. He demonizes those who need our help, those 1:26:05.880 --> 1:26:09.800 who need our support. Jill Brand just like wants to 1:26:09.880 --> 1:26:12.800 y'all and it's equal pay day. I'm like, she wants 1:26:12.840 --> 1:26:17.280 equal pay for people because, oh my gosh, Democrats, can 1:26:17.320 --> 1:26:19.800 you do better than this police? I mean, at least 1:26:19.840 --> 1:26:22.160 give at least give us some candidates to talk about 1:26:22.240 --> 1:26:26.439 that are are interesting, you know, and not just worthy 1:26:26.439 --> 1:26:28.759 of mocker. I mean, Jilla Brand doesn't even she doesn't 1:26:28.760 --> 1:26:31.720 know what her ideas are. People just tell her what 1:26:31.800 --> 1:26:33.800 the idea should be, whatever she thinks will work at 1:26:33.840 --> 1:26:37.240 any given moment. But I thought that was a really 1:26:38.080 --> 1:26:40.639 a really funny little little moment there where she comes 1:26:40.640 --> 1:26:44.000 out and she's saying Trump is creating division and hate. 1:26:44.280 --> 1:26:46.680 He's terrible and I hate his stupid face, that he's 1:26:46.720 --> 1:26:50.800 so mean and awful. It's like I'm pretty sure, miss 1:26:50.880 --> 1:26:54.760 Jilla brand, that you are in fact creating division and hate. 1:26:54.800 --> 1:26:57.040 I'm I'm I'm gonna go out on a limb here 1:26:57.040 --> 1:27:01.840 and say that Kirsten Jill, Kristen or Kirstin I don't 1:27:01.880 --> 1:27:03.759 make I don't mix them up on purpose, I swear, 1:27:03.840 --> 1:27:07.720 but it's just impossible. I think it's Kirston Jilbren that 1:27:07.920 --> 1:27:11.599 she she thinks that the Democrats are are the are 1:27:11.640 --> 1:27:13.840 the great healers in this nation. I mean the same 1:27:13.880 --> 1:27:17.440 Democrats who for the last two years have been pretending 1:27:18.720 --> 1:27:22.160 that President Trump is a traitor, that the President of 1:27:22.200 --> 1:27:27.440 the United States is a sexual predator, um, a trader, 1:27:28.080 --> 1:27:33.759 um crazy as in mentally unfit to hold any office, 1:27:33.840 --> 1:27:40.840 probably a racist, a xenophobe, an anti Muslim bigot. I mean, 1:27:40.880 --> 1:27:43.639 you got on the line. All these things that they've 1:27:43.680 --> 1:27:47.880 said about the president that are are are deeply destructive 1:27:47.880 --> 1:27:51.720 and unfair and untrue. I do not believe any of 1:27:51.760 --> 1:27:55.040 those things are true about President Trump. They certainly the 1:27:55.080 --> 1:27:59.360 whole you know, grab the woman by the area line 1:27:59.400 --> 1:28:01.680 that everyone's very familiar from the Billy Bush tape. I 1:28:02.240 --> 1:28:05.040 don't know what it's going to take for the media 1:28:05.120 --> 1:28:07.280 to stop misconstruing what he said. I'm not saying it 1:28:07.320 --> 1:28:09.920 was okay, I mean it was. It was an ungentlemanly 1:28:09.960 --> 1:28:14.479 thing to say. But he wasn't bragging about assaulting women. 1:28:14.520 --> 1:28:18.800 He was bragging about his access to attractive women who 1:28:19.000 --> 1:28:21.160 let him. That was what he said, let him do 1:28:21.240 --> 1:28:26.519 things because he's a famous, powerful, important guy. But they 1:28:26.560 --> 1:28:28.559 always make it sound like he was claiming that he 1:28:28.960 --> 1:28:32.200 was drugging and then taking advantage of people or something. 1:28:32.200 --> 1:28:34.640 You know that he's almost a Cosby esque situations, not 1:28:34.720 --> 1:28:37.360 that at all. It's not. And they're not so stupid. 1:28:37.360 --> 1:28:39.760 The media is not so stupid that they don't understand that. 1:28:40.200 --> 1:28:43.439 But a major and you're going to see this now 1:28:43.600 --> 1:28:47.799 gearing up for the twenty twenty election, a major point 1:28:47.840 --> 1:28:51.320 of opposition against Trump that comes from the left has 1:28:51.360 --> 1:28:57.920 to do with making support of Trump socially unpalatable. You know, 1:28:58.200 --> 1:29:01.920 supporting Trump makes you somebody who's a bad person that 1:29:02.000 --> 1:29:05.040 people shouldn't be friends with. And you know, nobody should 1:29:05.080 --> 1:29:07.640 like let let their kids stay over at you know, 1:29:07.760 --> 1:29:09.680 your house to hang out with your kids because you're 1:29:09.720 --> 1:29:12.200 a Trump supporter and you're a bad person, right, That's 1:29:12.920 --> 1:29:17.280 that's part of the effort here. And and it was 1:29:17.320 --> 1:29:19.720 just yesterday that I said to you, it's not just 1:29:19.840 --> 1:29:25.360 about Trump. They really do feel this way about Trump 1:29:25.600 --> 1:29:29.960 supporters too. You know, the things they're saying about Trump, 1:29:30.520 --> 1:29:32.880 they feel about the people who voted for him. And 1:29:33.120 --> 1:29:37.200 if that sounds at all like it's a it's a leap. Well, 1:29:37.240 --> 1:29:42.599 here's the chairman of the DNC, Tom Perez, talking about 1:29:42.680 --> 1:29:49.120 people who support Trump, who support Mitch McConnell and Paul 1:29:49.200 --> 1:29:52.600 Ryan and all these different people, or rather who he 1:29:52.680 --> 1:29:55.120 named some of these people who have supported Trump. Here's 1:29:55.120 --> 1:29:57.439 what he thinks of those who support President Trump. Play three. 1:29:57.960 --> 1:30:00.559 But the thing is they they are cowardly. I mean, 1:30:00.680 --> 1:30:05.880 history will not only judge Donald Trump harshly, It will 1:30:05.960 --> 1:30:10.960 judge Mits McConnell and Paul Ryan and all the other 1:30:11.040 --> 1:30:15.559 cowards who refuse to stand up to this president and 1:30:15.680 --> 1:30:18.519 allowed the Party of Lincoln to die. They will be 1:30:18.600 --> 1:30:24.599 judge harshly because whatever he says goes right. Cowards. He 1:30:24.680 --> 1:30:27.880 says cowards about Republicans who won't stand up. And I 1:30:27.920 --> 1:30:32.639 can assure you cowards and idiots and buffoons is how 1:30:32.640 --> 1:30:37.559 they would describe, at least privately, those who vote for Trump. 1:30:37.760 --> 1:30:40.320 It is not just about the president himself. It is 1:30:40.360 --> 1:30:43.760 about those who believe in what he is trying to accomplish. 1:30:43.840 --> 1:30:46.320 You see, for me, it's always been it's always been 1:30:46.360 --> 1:30:50.320 the agenda. It has not been the case that, you know, 1:30:50.360 --> 1:30:55.680 President Trump's individual character or you know, even individual accomplishments 1:30:55.680 --> 1:30:59.800 before becoming president, were the motivating factor in support. Although 1:30:59.840 --> 1:31:03.160 I do find most of his tweets and certainly his 1:31:03.200 --> 1:31:06.560 battles with the media to be very entertaining, amusing and 1:31:07.600 --> 1:31:12.439 worthwhile too. The media has changed. They don't realize it 1:31:12.520 --> 1:31:14.760 quite yet, but they have changed, and it will never 1:31:14.800 --> 1:31:17.559 be the same because of this president. And I think 1:31:17.600 --> 1:31:20.920 that's all to the good. I think it's something that 1:31:20.920 --> 1:31:23.920 we should all be very happy about. But they're gonna 1:31:23.960 --> 1:31:27.640 try this through the media, through through not just and 1:31:27.680 --> 1:31:29.240 I don't just mean the news media. They're going to 1:31:29.280 --> 1:31:31.960 try it through TV shows and through Hollywood, and they 1:31:32.040 --> 1:31:36.160 want to make it socially unacceptable to support Trump. And 1:31:36.479 --> 1:31:39.439 so even if you personally are going to vote for him, 1:31:40.680 --> 1:31:43.200 Jilla Brand and Tom Perez and all these others out 1:31:43.200 --> 1:31:46.160 there are going to make people feel a little sheepish 1:31:46.200 --> 1:31:49.639 about speaking openly going into this election about their support 1:31:49.680 --> 1:31:51.560 for Trump, They're gonna make people feel like, you know, 1:31:51.760 --> 1:31:53.559 I sit down in the boardroom at work, or I 1:31:53.560 --> 1:31:56.560 sit down and you know in the office environment, I 1:31:56.920 --> 1:31:59.280 better not be wearing my MAGA hat. I better keep 1:31:59.320 --> 1:32:04.120 this to myself. And that's an advantage for Democrats and 1:32:04.160 --> 1:32:07.000 they know it. You know, a chilling effect on your 1:32:07.000 --> 1:32:09.439 support of MAGA is what they're trying to achieve, and 1:32:09.479 --> 1:32:12.320 they have a lot of ways of trying to do it. Hi, 1:32:12.560 --> 1:32:18.080 I'm going to gap. Binary sex typically refers to your 1:32:18.080 --> 1:32:22.920 biological traits as your gonads, your genitalia, your internal sex characteristics, 1:32:22.960 --> 1:32:27.679 your hormone production, hormone response, and secondary sex characteristics. Gender 1:32:27.800 --> 1:32:30.960 is about your identity, your expression, and it's often based 1:32:31.000 --> 1:32:33.800 on ideas about sex. It's important that we really break 1:32:33.800 --> 1:32:35.920 down what are we talking about when we talk about 1:32:35.920 --> 1:32:39.120 sex and gender and is there something called biological sex 1:32:39.120 --> 1:32:41.320 and what does that mean. This idea that the body 1:32:41.400 --> 1:32:45.840 is either male or female is totally wrong and I 1:32:45.880 --> 1:32:48.639 am living proof of that. We know intersex people exist 1:32:48.680 --> 1:32:52.439 and break down this binary We all have characteristics that 1:32:52.479 --> 1:32:55.200 are typically male and typically female, and it is really 1:32:55.240 --> 1:32:59.920 about political choices, social factors, ideological choices that we assign 1:33:00.160 --> 1:33:03.840 meeting to different parts of our body. All of that 1:33:03.960 --> 1:33:11.080 is wrong. Everything that you just heard there is factually, scientifically, 1:33:12.200 --> 1:33:16.800 rationally incorrect. For those of you who are wondering what 1:33:17.200 --> 1:33:21.040 the heck was that nonsense, it was a video ad 1:33:21.080 --> 1:33:24.200 that is running in teen Vogue. Now hold on, before 1:33:24.240 --> 1:33:26.720 you say, puck, come on teen Vogue, Who cares? I 1:33:26.760 --> 1:33:31.200 guess I better cancel my subscription before we look at 1:33:31.240 --> 1:33:34.160 that part. Let's understand that, you know, teen Vogue is 1:33:34.200 --> 1:33:36.439 owned by one of these big media conglomerates, just like 1:33:36.479 --> 1:33:41.080 all these other magazines, and they're propagandizing to young people 1:33:41.160 --> 1:33:46.960 who don't have the knowledge and philosophical background necessarily to 1:33:47.040 --> 1:33:51.360 understand that what they're being told is complete garbage. There's 1:33:51.439 --> 1:33:55.519 no binary, coherent thing called biological sex. That is as 1:33:56.080 --> 1:34:00.479 false as any statement can be. There is abs resolutely 1:34:01.160 --> 1:34:05.080 a coherent thing. It's It's one of the clearest and 1:34:05.240 --> 1:34:08.760 most well understood things in existence is that there is 1:34:08.800 --> 1:34:12.680 a difference between xx chromosome and x y chromosome. Now, 1:34:12.720 --> 1:34:14.720 people who want to play the game, and sometimes I 1:34:14.760 --> 1:34:17.720 get emails from people that think they're very smart and say, well, buck, 1:34:17.760 --> 1:34:24.320 there can be chromosomal abnormalities, and they're you know, sometimes okay, well, 1:34:24.439 --> 1:34:27.400 is that then the standard for being intersex? See? See, 1:34:27.400 --> 1:34:31.880 they they want they want there to be a scientific 1:34:31.920 --> 1:34:36.559 explanation for what is a purely psychological phenomenon, and a 1:34:36.600 --> 1:34:41.400 phenomenon based entirely of emotion and will and choice, not 1:34:41.600 --> 1:34:48.680 of a physical manifestation or a physical reality. And you know, 1:34:48.960 --> 1:34:54.679 this is a kind of extension, this desire to First 1:34:54.680 --> 1:34:56.840 of all, there's a Marxist underpinning to all this, because 1:34:56.880 --> 1:35:00.000 destroying the family, destroying sex is necessary to destroy the family. 1:35:00.080 --> 1:35:03.400 Destroying family is a necessary component of replacing the family 1:35:03.479 --> 1:35:06.360 unit with the state. The state then becomes your family, 1:35:06.520 --> 1:35:10.200 the collectivist identity that we all are handed by. The 1:35:10.240 --> 1:35:12.800 state becomes the only identity that has meaning, because of 1:35:12.800 --> 1:35:16.280 course the state also wants to be in place of God. 1:35:16.800 --> 1:35:18.880 So get rid of the family, get rid of God, 1:35:18.920 --> 1:35:21.599 replace it with the state. This is some people will 1:35:21.640 --> 1:35:27.599 talk about cultural Marxism, but has long standing roots in 1:35:27.920 --> 1:35:31.920 secularist Marxist philosophy. So it's not out of nowhere that 1:35:31.960 --> 1:35:33.599 all of a sudden we're being told there's no such 1:35:33.640 --> 1:35:38.800 thing as biological sex. This is a very very fashionable, 1:35:38.880 --> 1:35:41.920 not just because it's in teen vogue, a very fashionable 1:35:42.520 --> 1:35:45.160 position on the left now. And people say this and 1:35:45.240 --> 1:35:49.120 think that they don't sound stupid when they sound very stupid, 1:35:49.200 --> 1:35:55.880 saying there is no scientific basis for these claims whatsoever. 1:35:56.360 --> 1:36:00.000 And in fact, every cell of your body is different, 1:36:00.520 --> 1:36:04.559 male or female, and you know this goes to the 1:36:04.800 --> 1:36:10.400 very earliest stages of development inside the womb and what occurs. 1:36:10.560 --> 1:36:13.400 But you know, it's also this desire to fight against 1:36:13.960 --> 1:36:20.320 nature and this presumption that leftist philosophy can somehow overcome 1:36:20.840 --> 1:36:24.439 reality just by wishing it to be. So, you know, 1:36:24.560 --> 1:36:29.760 it's it's almost like, uh, you know. Deconstructionism is a 1:36:29.880 --> 1:36:35.080 garbage philosophy of Derita from the nineteen sixties, and it's 1:36:36.000 --> 1:36:40.000 a theory about that that criticizes traditional assumptions about things 1:36:40.040 --> 1:36:42.600 like what is true and what is identity? Right, so 1:36:42.640 --> 1:36:46.120 you just pull apart everything nothing matters really anymore, nothing 1:36:46.240 --> 1:36:49.720 is true or real anymore. That's deconstructionism. And this is 1:36:49.760 --> 1:36:54.839 how you get you know, high school sophomores or particularly 1:36:54.840 --> 1:36:57.320 it happens in college. We're being told, well, let's you know, 1:36:57.720 --> 1:37:00.680 what's wrong with Hamlet? You know, what what do you think? 1:37:00.720 --> 1:37:03.200 Hamlet says, forget what Shakespeare meant. What do you think 1:37:03.840 --> 1:37:06.960 Shakespeare was saying here? Not what do you think he 1:37:07.000 --> 1:37:09.040 meant to say? But what should he be saying here? 1:37:09.080 --> 1:37:11.160 I mean, this is what deconstruction is. It just turns 1:37:11.200 --> 1:37:19.400 into a form of mental auto erotica. And that's a 1:37:19.520 --> 1:37:22.280 that's a fun word, by the way, That's what you 1:37:22.320 --> 1:37:25.880 see here. Though this is not rooted in truth, it's 1:37:25.920 --> 1:37:29.320 not rooted in science. But there is a very real 1:37:29.360 --> 1:37:31.960 movement to propagandize to your kids that there's no such 1:37:32.000 --> 1:37:35.160 thing as biological sex. Meanwhile, we're all supposed to sit 1:37:35.160 --> 1:37:38.240 around and be worried about the pay gap. The pay 1:37:38.320 --> 1:37:41.439 gap is a thing only if you don't understand how 1:37:41.439 --> 1:37:45.800 basic economics works, which the left also doesn't understand. I 1:37:46.200 --> 1:37:48.800 know that they have powerful emotions, and that people who 1:37:48.800 --> 1:37:52.479 are leftists, if they have these feelings that are very 1:37:52.600 --> 1:37:56.040 very strong, but they really need to bend to the 1:37:56.120 --> 1:37:59.160 reality around them and at least make coherent arguments. And 1:37:59.280 --> 1:38:02.599 saying there's no coherent thing called biological sex is one 1:38:02.640 --> 1:38:06.320 of the dumbest things I have ever heard. There absolutely is. 1:38:06.400 --> 1:38:09.040 We all know what it is, and just because they 1:38:09.120 --> 1:38:15.160 say so doesn't mean it is roll calls up next. 1:38:16.000 --> 1:38:18.800 Ain't no party, look a Team Buck party, because a 1:38:18.960 --> 1:38:28.519 Team Buck party. Don't stop. Yeah, we got Buck turned 1:38:28.560 --> 1:38:44.559 up to eleven. It's time for roll call. Indeed, it 1:38:44.720 --> 1:38:48.920 is from Savannah, Georgia. I'm gonna tell you guys something 1:38:48.920 --> 1:38:51.400 that's very exciting for me. And those of you who 1:38:51.400 --> 1:38:55.479 are from Georgia or Florida or some of the other 1:38:55.520 --> 1:38:58.639 states in the vicinity are going to think that I'm 1:38:58.680 --> 1:39:01.360 a big dork for saying this, but I was very 1:39:01.360 --> 1:39:05.800 excited today. I saw an alligator, which for somebody from DC, 1:39:06.040 --> 1:39:08.680 perhaps because I am a swamp creature, for me to 1:39:08.720 --> 1:39:11.680 see a real swamp creature was very exciting. But it 1:39:11.720 --> 1:39:14.800 was basking in the sun. Looked to be about a 1:39:14.880 --> 1:39:18.439 six foot or i'd say, just hanging out, just hanging out. 1:39:18.439 --> 1:39:20.800 It's exciting for me, you know. It's this is like 1:39:20.800 --> 1:39:22.639 when I've been in some parts of the world where 1:39:22.960 --> 1:39:25.880 where there are monkeys just running around, like monkeys are 1:39:25.960 --> 1:39:28.439 kind of like squirrels, and you know, you know, you're 1:39:28.439 --> 1:39:30.360 a tourist, You're like, look at the monkeys, and all 1:39:30.400 --> 1:39:32.400 the people that are actually from the country are like, yeah, 1:39:32.439 --> 1:39:34.799 they're annoying and loud and steal my and steal food 1:39:34.840 --> 1:39:37.439 from like the window sill. I'm sure people down here 1:39:37.439 --> 1:39:40.000 aren't as excited about gators as I am, but I 1:39:40.040 --> 1:39:43.439 was like, whoa the gator. Very touristy moment for me. 1:39:43.520 --> 1:39:46.200 But unfortunately, Savannah, I have to tell you. I love 1:39:46.400 --> 1:39:49.679 your city and your food, and Georgia is a great state. 1:39:50.000 --> 1:39:53.519 But I could have used higher than like forty five 1:39:53.600 --> 1:39:55.519 degree weather while I was down here. I'm just saying 1:39:55.680 --> 1:39:57.080 I came all the way from New York, I mean 1:39:57.080 --> 1:39:59.600 from not New York, from DC, and it was a 1:39:59.640 --> 1:40:01.720 little b on the chili side. But no, Savannah is great. 1:40:01.760 --> 1:40:03.679 I mean the food here is amazing, which I will 1:40:03.720 --> 1:40:06.040 say is that pretty much sells me on a place. 1:40:06.080 --> 1:40:08.519 If I like the food, I can handle everything else. 1:40:08.560 --> 1:40:11.880 Oh and people down here actually have good politics, unlike NDC, 1:40:12.080 --> 1:40:17.120 so that's nice. Johann said, heard you were in Atlanta 1:40:17.200 --> 1:40:20.680 for a conference, and believe you said the name Stansbury. 1:40:22.760 --> 1:40:26.360 So the recently I saw a TV ad for a 1:40:26.400 --> 1:40:29.519 book titled The American Jubilee. An online search took me 1:40:29.560 --> 1:40:32.760 the website for the publishers also Stansbury scary stuff. Will 1:40:32.760 --> 1:40:35.040 you be sharing your views on it? Johann. Yeah, they've 1:40:35.040 --> 1:40:39.000 published Jubilee is essentially a book that dives into where 1:40:39.040 --> 1:40:41.439 the economy is going to crash out and how things 1:40:41.479 --> 1:40:43.960 are going to get really bad. And yes, that is 1:40:44.000 --> 1:40:47.880 Stansbury Research. I work with Stansbury Research. I know the 1:40:47.920 --> 1:40:50.240 folks who are running very well, and I'm down here 1:40:50.280 --> 1:40:54.080 for a Stansbury conference. But I am in Savannah, Georgia. 1:40:54.120 --> 1:40:58.920 I am not in Atlanta, Jesse. Right, if you were 1:40:58.920 --> 1:41:01.160 in Savannah, I hope you style by nine Line Apparel 1:41:01.200 --> 1:41:04.160 and Black Rifle Coffee Company, Jesse. I have had it's 1:41:04.160 --> 1:41:07.280 a fair point. I have reached out to my friend 1:41:07.400 --> 1:41:10.519 at nine Line Apparel, the CEO of there, Tyler Merritt. 1:41:10.800 --> 1:41:13.519 Unfortunately he has been out of town over the weekend 1:41:13.680 --> 1:41:16.360 and into the week so we've not been able to 1:41:16.360 --> 1:41:19.400 meet up yet. But otherwise I absolutely would have gone 1:41:19.400 --> 1:41:21.720 over there and if I just had a little bit 1:41:21.760 --> 1:41:24.599 more time. But it's it's a bit, it's a bit 1:41:24.600 --> 1:41:28.599 on the busy side. So I'm hoping that, you know, 1:41:28.640 --> 1:41:32.200 things will more or less come together on all that. 1:41:34.120 --> 1:41:38.000 What else do we have here? And I just started mumbling, 1:41:38.000 --> 1:41:42.280 there the end, they'll come together with the thing. Paul Rites, Hello, Buck, 1:41:42.320 --> 1:41:48.679 any chance your truffled egg recipe is available online, Paul, 1:41:48.760 --> 1:41:51.759 I didn't know that I had a truffled egg recipe. 1:41:52.120 --> 1:41:56.519 Are you referring to scrambled egg with truffle flavoring? Because 1:41:56.600 --> 1:41:58.880 that would just be scrambled eggs. You add some either 1:41:58.920 --> 1:42:01.880 truffle shavings if you want to be very bougie, will 1:42:01.960 --> 1:42:06.160 Hi electrafor shavings in my scrambled eggs? Yes, I do, 1:42:07.040 --> 1:42:09.040 and I wear a top hat and a monocle while 1:42:09.080 --> 1:42:14.800 I eat them and nothing else. That's one way to go. 1:42:15.800 --> 1:42:20.599 But the secret for me for scrambled eggs is and 1:42:20.760 --> 1:42:22.960 the game changer things that I learned from doing. And 1:42:23.600 --> 1:42:25.400 I'll just tell you I watch a lot of YouTube videos. 1:42:25.439 --> 1:42:27.680 I learned to cook by watching YouTube videos. But you 1:42:27.720 --> 1:42:31.280 have to watch multiple videos of making the same dish 1:42:31.320 --> 1:42:34.320 because everybody has different techniques and certain ones you will 1:42:34.720 --> 1:42:37.439 pick up yourself and you'll you'll like, and others you'll 1:42:37.479 --> 1:42:38.920 be like, I don't want to do it that way. 1:42:39.040 --> 1:42:41.479 So if you watch multiple videos, it's kind of like 1:42:41.560 --> 1:42:46.679 reading various news sources on the same topic. It's important 1:42:46.720 --> 1:42:49.520 to do that in my business because there are nuances 1:42:49.600 --> 1:42:52.880 and little details that are different from write up to 1:42:52.920 --> 1:42:55.000 write up. So to go deep on a story, you 1:42:55.040 --> 1:42:57.599 want to read more than one source on it. In fact, 1:42:57.600 --> 1:42:59.080 you want to read many sources on it most of 1:42:59.080 --> 1:43:02.799 the time. I feel the same way about being an 1:43:02.880 --> 1:43:05.800 autodidact chef. I don't know if that's a thing, but 1:43:05.880 --> 1:43:08.000 let's say that's a thing. Somebody who's self taught as 1:43:08.000 --> 1:43:11.880 a chef, which I am, and chef is way too 1:43:11.920 --> 1:43:14.240 grandiose a term for it. Somebody who can make some 1:43:14.360 --> 1:43:20.639 decent proteins and breakfast food and occasionally, no, that's really it. Actually, 1:43:20.640 --> 1:43:23.120 that's where I go. That's that's the full the full 1:43:23.200 --> 1:43:25.960 length of my culinary skills. But my scrambled eggs are amazing. 1:43:26.000 --> 1:43:27.760 I mean they're amazing. I cannot lie to you. Know. 1:43:27.760 --> 1:43:31.679 It's a very good thing to be able to make carroy. 1:43:31.720 --> 1:43:33.719 Oh wait, I was telling you. I see a Karen. 1:43:33.760 --> 1:43:35.519 I'll get to you in one second. I skip right 1:43:35.560 --> 1:43:37.160 over the secret for those you want to know, you're 1:43:37.240 --> 1:43:39.880 learning one thing today you can really use. Make sure 1:43:39.960 --> 1:43:43.479 that you know that you can take the eggs. And 1:43:43.479 --> 1:43:45.599 this seems so simple, but I never thought of it before. 1:43:45.640 --> 1:43:48.719 I always tried to adjust the heat. Eggs are so 1:43:50.520 --> 1:43:54.639 heat sensitive and cook so quickly that as you're going 1:43:54.720 --> 1:43:57.040 the moment you think that it's there, they're going too fast. 1:43:57.040 --> 1:43:59.439 Because overcooking eggs is what everybody does. This is why 1:43:59.439 --> 1:44:02.120 when you go to a diner and they say, hey, 1:44:02.160 --> 1:44:05.200 we're gonna make you an omelet, and the omelet comes 1:44:05.200 --> 1:44:08.479 out and has those sort of brown scorched marks on 1:44:08.520 --> 1:44:11.280 the outside. I mean, eggs should never have brown scorch 1:44:11.360 --> 1:44:13.240 marks on it. That's not a good sign. That means 1:44:13.240 --> 1:44:16.920 they cook the you know what out of it. Be 1:44:18.400 --> 1:44:22.720 comfortable taking your eggs off the burner entirely, So just 1:44:22.840 --> 1:44:24.760 move it off the burner, move it somewhere else on 1:44:24.800 --> 1:44:26.920 your stove, Move it somewhere where it's not overdirect heat, 1:44:26.920 --> 1:44:28.559 because there's still going to be heat in that pan, 1:44:29.160 --> 1:44:31.439 so it's gonna stay very warm, in fact, will continue 1:44:31.439 --> 1:44:34.760 to cook. But that's just a way more effective I 1:44:34.880 --> 1:44:38.000 find than you know, trying to get to like low 1:44:38.120 --> 1:44:40.320 medium or simmer or you know whatever. It's just just 1:44:40.360 --> 1:44:43.320 take it off that heat and then know that in 1:44:43.360 --> 1:44:48.200 the process is a necessary step. Karen, it's buck great 1:44:48.200 --> 1:44:50.759 that you talked about the starvation in China under Mao. 1:44:51.160 --> 1:44:53.280 Helen Raleigh, who grew up in China might be an 1:44:53.280 --> 1:44:56.240 interesting guest for your show. She is now a businesswoman 1:44:56.240 --> 1:44:59.040 who occasionally writes for The Federalist. I recently finished reading 1:44:59.040 --> 1:45:02.040 her book Can You Just Never Said, which is about 1:45:02.040 --> 1:45:05.280 the hardships her family endured under MAO and how difficult 1:45:05.280 --> 1:45:11.760 it was to get American citizenship. Look, China is a fascinating, 1:45:13.240 --> 1:45:20.160 fascinating everything country, economic competitor, national security challenge, and we 1:45:20.200 --> 1:45:22.720 are about to enter a new phase now. I mean 1:45:22.720 --> 1:45:27.400 the last almost twenty years, you would say at this point, 1:45:27.439 --> 1:45:32.800 we've had a twenty year cycle now of interventions abroad, 1:45:33.040 --> 1:45:37.439 predominantly but not entirely, but predominantly in the Muslim world, 1:45:38.439 --> 1:45:43.000 and they have been counterinsurgency operations for the most bar 1:45:43.080 --> 1:45:47.400 counter terrorism that turns into counterinsurgency, and that's just been 1:45:47.439 --> 1:45:52.400 our focus. Radical Islam has been the primary enemy of 1:45:52.439 --> 1:45:56.200 America and the West for the last twenty years. We 1:45:56.240 --> 1:45:59.200 are shifting out of that now, not that radical Islam 1:45:59.280 --> 1:46:01.960 isn't still are and it's going to go away, but 1:46:02.040 --> 1:46:05.400 they're not going to be a primary or the primary threat. 1:46:05.800 --> 1:46:10.400 It's going to first it'll feel like China, China and 1:46:10.400 --> 1:46:13.799 the US are butting heads more and more over economic matters, 1:46:14.040 --> 1:46:18.000 and then the national security challenges will become more apparent. 1:46:18.680 --> 1:46:20.880 So we are heading into that. I mean, I think 1:46:20.880 --> 1:46:23.280 we're going to be in a twenty year cycle and 1:46:23.320 --> 1:46:27.480 it's really starting now of US China struggle for dominance, 1:46:27.640 --> 1:46:29.400 and by the end of those twenty years, we're going 1:46:29.439 --> 1:46:33.400 to know who's the top dog. And that's what I 1:46:33.439 --> 1:46:36.840 see happening now. So I'm really trying to gear myself 1:46:37.560 --> 1:46:41.040 toward understanding that as much as possible. I'm going to 1:46:41.200 --> 1:46:45.439 China in May, at least that's the plan as of now, 1:46:46.120 --> 1:46:50.920 for all kinds of just basic ground truth tourism stuff 1:46:50.920 --> 1:46:53.840 and also some high level meetings with some business folks there. 1:46:54.320 --> 1:46:56.600 So I'm going to get some ground truth to be 1:46:56.640 --> 1:46:58.240 able to bring back to you here on the show. 1:46:59.160 --> 1:47:01.760 But is going to be at folks, I mean all 1:47:01.840 --> 1:47:05.679 it's amazing too. Notice how Russia, the Russia scaremongering since 1:47:05.720 --> 1:47:08.799 the Mulla report came out, has dropped off already so much. 1:47:09.439 --> 1:47:14.120 And Russia is not a realistic challenger to US. Yes, 1:47:14.240 --> 1:47:16.599 it has a very large nuclear arsenal, it's a very 1:47:16.600 --> 1:47:19.280 big country with a lot of natural resources, but it's 1:47:19.400 --> 1:47:22.640 it's little You know, it's a little weak sauce economy, 1:47:23.439 --> 1:47:28.400 just it's not a serious national security and economic competitor 1:47:28.439 --> 1:47:31.000 threat China is China is going to have a bigger 1:47:31.040 --> 1:47:35.160 economy than us and then a bigger military. Then well 1:47:35.160 --> 1:47:38.240 already has more manpower, but a more powerful military than 1:47:38.280 --> 1:47:41.920 ours under current with a current trajectory in a pretty 1:47:41.920 --> 1:47:46.280 short period of time. And we have no leadership really 1:47:46.280 --> 1:47:48.160 that thinks about this problem. I mean, the fact that 1:47:48.200 --> 1:47:52.280 matters that Trump is the first president in my lifetime 1:47:52.720 --> 1:47:56.040 who has at least been ringing the alarm bell about 1:47:56.120 --> 1:47:58.719 you know, yeah, China, we want with them on some things, 1:47:58.760 --> 1:48:01.519 but we want to try to be cooperative where we can. 1:48:01.720 --> 1:48:05.280 But China is a competitor. China is trying to become 1:48:05.360 --> 1:48:07.880 the global hegemon. It does not want to be in 1:48:07.960 --> 1:48:13.559 second place. Trump understands that, you know, his zero sum view, 1:48:13.760 --> 1:48:17.200 his hyper competitive view of all things interpersonal, inter business 1:48:17.240 --> 1:48:21.080 relationships has meant that Trump understands the threat that China 1:48:21.320 --> 1:48:25.400 poses to not just the US but the liberal Western 1:48:25.439 --> 1:48:28.760 world order over the long term. I mean, let me 1:48:28.800 --> 1:48:33.080 put it to you in these terms, the US China 1:48:33.439 --> 1:48:36.160 showdown that I think we're in the early stages of 1:48:36.280 --> 1:48:40.000 right now is going to be something akin to what 1:48:40.439 --> 1:48:44.559 you know ancient Greece and Persia were locked in. I mean, 1:48:44.680 --> 1:48:46.760 this is going to be the two great powers of 1:48:46.800 --> 1:48:49.080 the day, or people would say a new Cold War 1:48:49.200 --> 1:48:53.000 and that's you know, sure, that's that's another more recent 1:48:53.520 --> 1:48:55.360 version of it. But I like to get to the ancient, 1:48:55.840 --> 1:48:58.479 ancient Greek and ancient Roman stuff whenever I can. So 1:48:58.640 --> 1:49:01.719 that's what I see happening here. And so you're gonna 1:49:01.760 --> 1:49:06.360 hear more from me about China going forward. Tim, That's 1:49:06.360 --> 1:49:09.880 gonna be it for Live from Savannah today here in 1:49:09.920 --> 1:49:12.040 the Freedom Hunt.
