1
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: Mr garbuschaf teared down this wall. Either you're with us

2
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: or you were with the terrorists. If you've got healthcare

3
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: all with it, then you can keep your plan. If

4
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: you are satisfied with is not to be president of

5
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: the United States, take it to the bank. Together, we

6
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: will make America great again. It's what you've been waiting

7
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: for all day. Buck Sexton, with America now joined the

8
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: conversation called buck toll free at eight four four nine

9
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: hundred Buck that's eight four four, nine hundred to eight

10
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 1: to five the future of talk radio. Buck Sexton, This

11
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: is New York. The reality is that we are a

12
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: target by many who would like to make a statement

13
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: against democracy, against freedom. We have the Statue of Liberty

14
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: in our harbor, and that makes us an international target.

15
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: We understand that. The counter reality is that this is

16
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: New York and we all pitched together and we are

17
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: a savvy people. Let's go back to work. We're not

18
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: going to allow them to disrupt us. That's exactly what

19
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: wants and that is exactly what they're not going to get. Team.

20
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Freedom huntbuck Sexton here with you. That

21
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: was New York Governor Andrew Cuomo talking about the attempted

22
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: suicide bombing of the New York City subway system this morning,

23
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: a subway transit tunnel very close to Times Square, really

24
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: between Times Square and the Port Authority bus terminal, which

25
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: is another huge transit hub. Here's well, what we know

26
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: is that the terrorist in this case is from Bangladesh,

27
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: lived in this country for about seven years. He had

28
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: an improvised explosive device on his person tied to his chest.

29
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: Those of us with military or national security backgrounds call

30
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: that an s vest or suicide vest, and this individual

31
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: involved in this attack was a would be suicide bomber.

32
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm surprised to see there are so few who are

33
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: referring to this attack in that way. I mean, everyone

34
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: knows the terrorist attack, and everyone understands that they're well,

35
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: I should say everybody, but people understand generally speaking that

36
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: this is going to be a continued threat, especially over

37
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: the holidays. Um, but this is just these This individual

38
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: is very it's very difficult to stop, and we keep

39
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: having this similar discussion. I can't Caedula of Bangladesh. Uh.

40
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: He tried to kill a bunch of people during rush

41
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: hour here in New York City over the holidays an

42
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: attempted suicide bomber in New York. Now, why why do

43
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: I think it's important to put it in that context?

44
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: For you? What is the language here matters so much? Well,

45
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: let me say this. The way we view this and

46
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: the way the media is treating this terrorist attack in

47
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: New York City this morning is that we got lucky

48
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: and we should just breathe a big sigh of relief.

49
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: And there's absolutely truth to that. Those are those are

50
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: true things. We did get lucky, and we we are

51
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: breathing as I relieve that nobody was seriously injured in

52
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: this attack, although the the terrorists he burned himself a bit,

53
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: but nothing even he wasn't that badly injured, which means

54
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: this device was either so poorly constructed that it's tough

55
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: to even call it a bomb, or I think more

56
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: likely didn't fully detonate as planned, this suicide vest. But

57
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: the storyline is okay, no casualties. So by tomorrow we'll

58
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: move on to other things. By tomorrow there'll be other

59
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: stories that are uh drawing our attention. But understand that

60
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: the Islamic state and there are already sources that are

61
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: saying that he pledged that akaied Ulah sus they would

62
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: be suicide bomber here in New York this morning, that

63
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: he pledged fealty to the Islamic State. I'm very you know,

64
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: very likely to believe that's the case, especially because they

65
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: don't hide it anymore. It is explicit in ISIS instructions online.

66
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 1: If you're going to do this for the Islamic State,

67
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: if you're going to pledge, buyout or fe guilty, leave notes,

68
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: leave behind a little manifesto, or just leave behind something

69
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: so that it's clear. Because what they don't have, or

70
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: what they don't want is a situation where and this

71
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: has happened in this country, and I know some of

72
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: your can remember the events. They don't want ices adherence

73
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: to attack and to kill people, and then have the

74
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: American left media say, well, this was a hate crime

75
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: or you know this was about guns or something else, right,

76
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: They the Islamic State wants clarity when it comes to

77
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: the purposes for the terrorism, and hence why I'm sure

78
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: they'll find Just like with the the driver who was

79
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: running people over in Lower Manhattan a matter of weeks

80
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: ago on Halloween, they he had with him in a

81
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: note about the Islamic State. They're not hiding that they

82
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: want people to know. So I would believe these reports

83
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: that are already out saying that the kaya Ulah was

84
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: an ISIS fighter. But the problem or an Isis inspired

85
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: individual problem here with the way that um the narrative

86
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: goes is that from the Islamic States perspective, this shows

87
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: many of their would be j hottis what happened today

88
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: in New York City. It shows them that it's easy.

89
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: It's easy to get into a crowded part of a

90
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: major US city, It's easy to conceal some kind of

91
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: a weapon or a bomb, and you can strike at

92
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: the very at the very core of a city of

93
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: a town anywhere in the country if you just have

94
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: the will to murder innocent men, women and children. So

95
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: from from our side of it, yes, there were no casualties,

96
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: and so that's a cause for real relief. But keep

97
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: in mind that we got lucky. We may not get

98
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: lucky the next time around. And someone could come to

99
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: this country, live here for seven years and be so

100
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: brainwashed and have so much hate in his heart for

101
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: for Americans, and to be here in New York City,

102
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: for example, where this this city is like I'm on

103
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: the subway every day here, and we are so diverse

104
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: that I think it's fair to say that every country

105
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: in the world has people here, right, I mean we

106
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: we are a representative of people from all over the world.

107
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:39,239
Speaker 1: And that akayd Ulah would have so much hatred of

108
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: not just Americans but his fellow human beings that he

109
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: would try to do this goes to show you the

110
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: depths of the depravity and the brainwashing that occurs when

111
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: one embraces jihat and the philosophy behind it, when when

112
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: a person decides to become a mujahadeen, a holy warrior um.

113
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: There are also reports that say that Ula was doing

114
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: this in response to Trump's Israel move. Those are not

115
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: yet confirmed, but but those are. There are news reports

116
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: that are saying that because they've they've got the suspect

117
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: and custody, they have him. So we'll see if that

118
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: turns out to be the case. He may have been

119
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: an Isis inspired individual who also felt compelled to act

120
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: now because of Trump's move. Wouldn't it be interesting if

121
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: there if someone who is of Isis ideology decided that

122
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: the move of a US embassy structure as a policy

123
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: matter when it comes to Israel and Palestine was some

124
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: kind of a trigger for jihaddest action. Media won't want

125
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: to tell you this, but that's a reminder that the

126
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: problem of Palestine and its relations, or Palestinians and their

127
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: relations with the Israeli state, are at their core about

128
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: hatred and anti Semitism, and Jehottats are all anti Semites

129
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: and jihadists. Hard line fundamentalists within the Islamic faith point

130
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: to a number of passages in the Quran that are

131
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: hateful when it comes to Jews, and we know for

132
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: a whole lot of reasons that they espouse freely that

133
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: ah Wahabists and salad fists and jeehottest of all kinds,

134
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: hate the Jewish State, hate America, and hate the West.

135
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: And more than hating the Jewish state, this is important,

136
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: they hate Jews. If I have time, I'll speak to

137
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: this as well. But when you see violence in Sweden

138
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: against a synagogue by Muslims who are upset about what

139
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: the US did in Israel, they're not attacking the Israeli state.

140
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: They're not even attacking America. They're just attacking Jews because

141
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: they hate them. Because there is a hatred in Jihaddest

142
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: circles for the Jewish people, not for it's not about

143
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: Israeli foreign policy, just like when the bin Laden's of

144
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: the world hit us. It's not about American foreign policy either.

145
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: That's just the excuse. But there's always going to be

146
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: an excuse. If it isn't about recent foreign policy, it's

147
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: about previous foreign policy. If a Jihaddest can't find a

148
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: reason to blow up a bunch of men, women and

149
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: children that he's never met before for no reason at all,

150
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: he'll point back to Psykes Pico, or the Battle four Declaration,

151
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: or the US positioning in the Six Day War, or

152
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: you know whatever. It doesn't matter. They'll find something. They

153
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: will always find something, because it is ultimately about hatred

154
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: and a belief in a totalitarian system that is both

155
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: temporal and celestial. Jihadism is about conquering the world here

156
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: and then controlling the world in the ever after. And

157
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: today we had a kaya Ula drawing to at his

158
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: pathway to paradise by killing a bunch of people who

159
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: are just trying to go to work, or go see friends,

160
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: visit relatives, whatever is they're doing, just going about their

161
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: day that we would bring in someone from a foreign country.

162
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: And yes, it has already been confirmed it's through chain migration.

163
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: The Halloween vehicle terrorists also came in through chain migration.

164
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: I believe in his case it was one of He

165
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: was one of seventeen aka Ulah of Bangladesh had a

166
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: relative and so he came here. I think we can

167
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: finally say that, you know what, there needs to be

168
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: a conversation about chain migration, and here's how it has

169
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: to go. Coming to America, becoming a permanent resident here

170
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: or a citizen is a tremendous privilege, one that we

171
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: should reserve for the most uh dedicated to our ideals

172
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: and ideology with the great is love in their hearts

173
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: for this country. And it's not just a it's not

174
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: a luck thing, it's not a lottery. It's not Oh

175
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: my my second cousin so and so lives there, so

176
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: now I get to live there too. I think a

177
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: lot of Americans just assume that our immigration policy couldn't

178
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: possibly be as stupid as it is. And I don't

179
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: blame them, but it is that stupid. It isn't based

180
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: on merit, It is based on familial ties. Which is

181
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: a fancy way of saying chain migration and anchor babies

182
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: and all kinds of loopholes and carveouts and nonsense that

183
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: have well, that has been pushed upon the American people

184
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: often and quietly and dishonestly by Democrats and yes, far

185
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: too many Republicans as well. But back to a kaya

186
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: Ulah for a moment. This J. Hottest is now going

187
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: to be interrogated, and people are saying, well, should we

188
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: keep him as an enemy combatant or I can tell

189
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: you this, he doesn't very unlikely he has anything to

190
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: share beyond what websites he was spending time on where

191
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: he was going to get his radical content. Perhaps he

192
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: was in touch with some other radicalized individuals, but I'm

193
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: not I wouldn't bet on that. But now we have

194
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: to face the continued reality that there are no good

195
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: answers about what to do when it comes to these attacks. Sure,

196
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: we can limit our exposure via via our own immigration system,

197
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: and that's certainly a wise position, but stopping people from

198
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: committing these kinds of atrocities, these terrorist acts, and today,

199
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: granted there was really no bloodshed, and you know, it

200
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: could have been so much worse, but stopping them as

201
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: a near impossibility. And it's becoming clear this is one

202
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: of the prices we pay in a free society, and

203
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: free society that is often hobbled by its political correctness,

204
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: and that the dictates of a multicultural society um that

205
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: are enforced upon all of us with a with a

206
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: zeal by the left. That should give us all real pause.

207
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: We should be rethinking many of the core principles of

208
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: the multiculturalist ethic of the left here, as we have

209
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: been and certainly do here on this show. But yet

210
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: another Muslim ji hottest here in New York City, here

211
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: in my hometown, trying to kill people mere blocks from

212
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: where I work, and so many hundreds of thousands of

213
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: others are just going through that corridor in that area

214
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: every day. And what what is what is there to

215
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: say about other than we have to stay vigilant. We

216
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: have to understand that we are on a war, and

217
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: within the Islamic faith there are unfortunately far too many

218
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: people that latch onto this narrative of jihad, and the

219
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: world is worse off for it. It doesn't have to

220
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: be this way. A lot of people outside the Muslim world,

221
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:22,479
Speaker 1: not a lot of terrorists. So you know, this process

222
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: of coming to an understanding within Islam about why this

223
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: keeps happening. It's an ongoing debate. I'm not gonna pretend

224
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: we're going to solve it or have all the answers

225
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: here today, but at least we can start with understanding

226
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: the basic truth. The jihad is the problem. We'll be

227
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: right back. Let's be clear, as New Yorkers, our lives

228
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: revolved around the subways. When we hear of an attack

229
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: in the subway is incredibly unsettling. And let's be also clear,

230
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: this was an attempted terrorist attack. Thank god, the perpetrator

231
00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: did not achieve his ultimate goals. Thank god are first

232
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: responders were there so quickly to address the situation, to

233
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: make sure people were safe. Thank god the only injuries

234
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: as we know at this point. The word minor, that's

235
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: Mayor of New York, Billa Blasio, whom in general isn't

236
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: is an income poop. But I can't disagree with anything

237
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: he said there. Uh yeah, we got We did get

238
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: lucky in the terrorists inability to pull off their plots.

239
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: There are hundreds, probably thousands of of Americans who are

240
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: alive today, largely because of the ineptitude of terrorists in

241
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: doing what they set out to do, whether it's for

242
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: ru called Dolmatala, the underwear bomber almost blew an entire

243
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: airline round of the sky with over a hundred people

244
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: in it on Christmas Day back in what was a

245
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. And then there was the Time

246
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: Square bomber, a case that I was pulled into work

247
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: at the NYPD Intelgence Division. Fis Al Shazade. If he

248
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: had built a different car bomb, could have killed dozens,

249
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: maybe hundreds of people, but killed no one because I

250
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: didn't know what he was doing, thank God. UM. But

251
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: I would note that we will not be lucky always.

252
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: I think it was attributed to the i r A

253
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: once they said about some of their efforts that the uh,

254
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: well you have to be lucky of the time. We

255
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: only have to be lucky once. That unfortunately for the

256
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: terror from terrorist perspective, that's true. One more note I

257
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: wanted to get into here, and that has to do

258
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: with the the possibility of radicalization that occurred, because this

259
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: is going to factor into the discussion about extreme vetting.

260
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: There's the possibility of radicalization that may have occurred in

261
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: Bangladesh before the subject or the suspect in this case

262
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: came to this country. And here's what here's what I

263
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: would say about that. UM. Bangladesh certainly has major jihadist

264
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: groups operating there. Al Qaeda, there's an Islamic state franchise

265
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: in Bangladesh, and there have been some pretty underreported terrorist

266
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: attacks there in recent years, including the murder of bloggers

267
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: who have profaned uh quote profanes and the terrorists view Islam.

268
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: And there's also there was a major attack in Dhaka

269
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: restaurant with twenty people twenty hostages were killed. So there

270
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: is extremism in Bangladesh. There is the possibility of Bangladesh

271
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: country we'll talk about, maybe more in depth than other time,

272
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: formerly East Pakistan, partition of India. UM. But it looks

273
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: to me like this guy radicalized when he came here.

274
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: That would be my guess, UM. And it has to

275
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: do with what kind of media he was consuming, social media,

276
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: chat rooms he was in. And but the precondition for

277
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: jihadis m is a belief in Islam, so it comes

278
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: from within that community. And no one has any answers

279
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: yet as to how to completely counteract this. UM. I

280
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: want to bring you up to speed on some other

281
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: developments in the Mueller investigation that just came in, and uh,

282
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: we've got a whole lot of show. Judge Roy Moore.

283
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that election tomorrow. Also the media's massive

284
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: mistake last week. We'll break all that down coming up

285
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: in just a bit. Stay with me, Buck Sexton, back

286
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: with you here, team, I want to talk to you

287
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: about the latest and the Roy More election fight. Man,

288
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: it's getting I mean, it's it's been very nasty the

289
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: whole time, and this is we are in the final

290
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: stage and it is no holds barred. Um. We will

291
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: also have a reporter from Alabama joining us to give

292
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: some sense of what it's like in the last leg

293
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: of that race. And the whole country is gonna have

294
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: eyes on that. One Fox News poll conducted on Thursday

295
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: and just released earlier today put Jones ahead of more

296
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: ten points, fifty to forty. Nope, yeah, Tyrone shaking No,

297
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I don't. I don't buy it. I don't

298
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: buy it. Uh. Fox said eight percent voters were under

299
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: undecided and two percent support another candidate. I think I

300
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a lot of people, a lot

301
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: of people are maybe a little torn about it, or

302
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: they just don't want to They don't want the ire

303
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: of their of their friends and associates if they go

304
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: the wrong way on this one. So they're trying to

305
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: tell the polster what they think, the what they think

306
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: they should tell the polster, or they're undecided because they

307
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 1: just don't want to say out loud that they're like,

308
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't care what you guys say

309
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: about roy War that they're saying, they're gonna vote for it.

310
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna vote for him anyway. That's what

311
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: I think. They don't want to say that the pulse.

312
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: But it's like, I'm undecided, but actually a lot of

313
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: ab Alabamians or Alabama's pardon pardon me, my my friends

314
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: in Alabama. I'm I'm not great on the state designation

315
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: names like that, but a lot of folks from Alabama

316
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: there we go. Uh. I think at the end of

317
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: the day, they're gonna say, or the ones who are

318
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: undecided at least, or who are on the fence, they're

319
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: gonna say, stick with the agenda over what the left

320
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: wing media says. That's for that. That's a pretty safe bet,

321
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: right I think I think so um and I think

322
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: I think Roy Moore is gonna win. Tyrone, you think

323
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna win fairly easily. Tyron thinks fairly easily. I

324
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: I agree, I think Roy Moore is gonna win. I

325
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't give a percentage because you know that's really hard

326
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: to get right, but yeah, I would say Roy Moore

327
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: is gonna end up winning this one, So we will see.

328
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: I also talk to you a bit about some of

329
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: the latest on that on that race coming up that

330
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: Like I said, we'll have a reporter from Alabama. I

331
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: did want to spend a little bit of time because

332
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: later on we're gonna talk to a Joe Concha from

333
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: the Hill and just have a just having all in,

334
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: you know, Battle Royale media conversation about what's been going on.

335
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: I mean, the last week was just terrible for the

336
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: main three media. It was awful for them, There's no

337
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: way around it. Just retracted story after attracted story, massive

338
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: correction after massive correction, reporters getting discipline, maybe getting fired.

339
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean, all kinds of stuff, and the one bit

340
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: of connective tissue between all of it, the one thing

341
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: that unite so many of these mistakes, is anti Trump reporting.

342
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: Isn't that so strange? You know? I would note that, yes,

343
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: there were the fake there were the fake National Guard

344
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: documents used to try and prevent George W. Bush from

345
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: becoming president. But I don't remember news reports suggesting that

346
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: there was evidence h of treason or an espionage conspiracy

347
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: about George W. Bush that then had to be retracted

348
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. There's clearly something wrong,

349
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: and the media saying that they don't think there's anything

350
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: wrong shows that they are deluded. They are delusional on

351
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: this issue. They are not dealing in the realm of rationality.

352
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: They have lost it. And Sarah Huckaby Sanders, whom I

353
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: gotta say, she throws down. You know, she does not

354
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: they do not push her around up there at that podium,

355
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: and she is, you know, not not to be mean

356
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: after his departure, but she is much more forceful and

357
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: effective than Sean Spicer was up there, I think so.

358
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: I think Spicer was caught between trying to establish her

359
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: appoort with the media but also defend Trump, and Sarah

360
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: Huckaby Sanders is just like she's like, you know, who

361
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: wants to bring it? Who's next? You know, it's like

362
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: the guy walks into a bar, she's a gal. I'm

363
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: not saying that, you know, But I'm just saying, like

364
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: the guy walks in the bar, who's like, you know,

365
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: I'll take any man in the room. That's she's the

366
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: gal who walks in the bar. And it's like, I'll

367
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: take anyone in the room. You know. That's that's kind

368
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: of that kind of approach. I gotta say I like it.

369
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: I gotta say I like it. Uh. So, here's what

370
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: she said about this notion of fake news, which gets

371
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: Let's just look, it's a very important topic because it

372
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: affects every other every other story that we're discussing here.

373
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: And I would just say, Sarah that the journalists make

374
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: honest mistakes and that doesn't make them fake news. But

375
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: the question, when journalists make honest mistakes, they should own

376
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: up to them. Uh sometimes and a lot of times

377
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: she don't. But there's a difference. There's a very big

378
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not finished. There's a very big difference

379
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: between making honest mistakes and purposefully misleading the American people,

380
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: something that happens regularly. You can't say I'm not done,

381
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: but you cannot say that was completely fake. Can you

382
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: say that it's an honest mistake when you're purposely putting

383
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: out information that you know to be false, or when

384
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: you're taking information that hasn't been validated, that hasn't been

385
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: offered any credibility, and that has been continually denied by

386
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: a number of people, including people with direct knowledge of

387
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: an instance. This is something, uh that I'm speaking about

388
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: the number of reports that have taken place over the

389
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. I'm simply stating that there should

390
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,239
Speaker 1: be a certain level of responsibility in that process. I

391
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: think she is spot on. There should be a certain

392
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: level of responsibility in that process, and the media won't

393
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: take any real responsibility for it. You know, this is

394
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: where you get into a bit of the of the

395
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: nuance here, right sure, ABC, CNN, these other organizations that

396
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: have gotten uh, they've gotten their hands burned recently, you know,

397
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: their their fingers up on the stove. They're not trying

398
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: to run fake facts all the time, because is people

399
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: go to news for information the very basic facts have

400
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: to do. Now, they're not always, but they have to

401
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: try and make them accurate, and for reasons of self preservation,

402
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: they have to at least be accurate in effects. But

403
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: when it comes to editorial decisions anonymous sources, what what

404
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: stories to run, what stories not to run, how to

405
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: cover them? All of that, that's where the bias comes in.

406
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: And that's why when asked, when when asked, where the

407
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: bias may be and and and how we can prove

408
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: it there's bias. There is one story after another that

409
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: is negative for the Trump administration. That is wrong. If

410
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 1: if in fact, this were an honest effort, and it

411
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: wasn't just a take Trump down never Trump hashtag resistance media,

412
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't they have at some point a story that says,

413
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: you know, when they run with a story based on

414
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: a source or an anonymous source that says, you know,

415
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: Mueller's investigation is almost over and they've got nothing on Trump.

416
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: When't you've heard something like that at some point? Maybe

417
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: maybe No, nothing like that ever comes out, and nothing

418
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: that ever comes out because the media is agenda driven.

419
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: And I'm actually not somebody who opposes the notion of

420
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: an agenda duran media. I'm an opinion journalist. I don't

421
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: like the term journalists really, I don't know. I'm an

422
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: opinion analyst really, But I'm honest about it. I say

423
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 1: what I think, I say what I believe. You know

424
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 1: where I come from, and places like CNN are still

425
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: clinging to this fiction of we're not advocacy journalists. I mean,

426
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: just go down, go down there, Nightly lineup right there?

427
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: All that was Jim Acosta in that exchange. He's a

428
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 1: CNN reporter who's blatantly and obviously anti Trump. He tweets

429
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: out stuff that is snide and disrespectful to the president.

430
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's blatantly an anti Trump quote reporter. You

431
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: go through CNN and you go through their whole lineup,

432
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: Anderson Cooper anti Trump, Aaron Burnett, anti Trump, Don le

433
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: and anti Trump. I mean, how much of this do

434
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: we have to do? Do you think that if CNN

435
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: executives or CNN anchors were to sit down and try

436
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: to answer these questions, well, what would they say? Oh no, no,

437
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: we're just we're just reporting. You know, they're not anti

438
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: Trump or they're not opposed to the Trump administration. Come on,

439
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: do you think they could say it to somebody with

440
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: a straight face. No, but they'll lever put themselves in

441
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: a position where they have to answer real questions. But

442
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: it's damaging. And we saw recently with the fake ABC,

443
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: with the fake news ABC Brian Ross supported hurt the

444
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: stock market, and the notion that this country is about

445
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: to lose a very effective and very good for the

446
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: economy president is unsettling and would be really damaging through

447
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: this country. And these reporters just put it out there

448
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: like they're you know, like they're determined or like they're

449
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: trying to predict the weather tomorrow. Oh you know, we're

450
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: off by a few degrees. Now, the stakes here are

451
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: really high, and the kinds of mistakes that have been

452
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: made recently. Keep in mind, Okay, let's just pull two

453
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: of them out right, the ABC Brian Ross support and

454
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: the recentcy and a report on Donald Trump Jr. Both

455
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 1: of those involved major news organizations running stories that, if true,

456
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: they thought would have been essentially lights out for the administration,

457
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: clear collusion with Russia to win the election in advance

458
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: of the election. And in the case of the Trump

459
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: Junior story, it's via wiki leaks, but wiki leaks being

460
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: a cut out, but that that would be just irreparably

461
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: damaging to the administration. How could you get them so wrong?

462
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: How could you run with that store. I mean, you

463
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: better be darn sure, right. The same reason why when

464
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: I sit here and I talked to you about this

465
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: is a much you know, this is a very different issue.

466
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: But talk to you about the sexual harassment stories. Yeah,

467
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of stuff. I've heard rumors, but

468
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: it's not just because you know, I don't want to

469
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: get sued that I don't sit here and tell you

470
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: the rumors. That also would be irresponsible, be unfair of

471
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: me to name people that I don't know and I

472
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: couldn't verify have engaged in egregious sexual harassment conduct in

473
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: the media business, right. That would be wrong for because

474
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: there would be consequences for them and for me. But

475
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: the media just runs with this stuff like it's no

476
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: big deal. And that tells you a lot about their mentality,

477
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: doesn't it. You're gonna tell me they couldn't. They couldn't

478
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: figure out whether the dates were wrong, and in both

479
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: cases it was about dates. Could you imagine if the

480
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: stories didn't involve the ABC Brian Ross story and the

481
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 1: CNN story about Trump JUNR. If there weren't emails, if

482
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: there weren't dates, numbers hard figures to work with. Here,

483
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: it was just based on anonymous sourcing. They would have

484
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: kept going with it. The only reason they had to

485
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: retract it is because it was gonna come out and

486
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: they were gonna look terrible. So let's not pretend that

487
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: this is somehow a function of their honesty, which I

488
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: know some are doing now. Uh. It is just blatant

489
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: dishonesty on display. And for every story they have to

490
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: retract because it is factually disprovable, there are countless stories

491
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: that can never be disproven because it's innuendo, rumors based

492
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: on anonymous sources about what may happen in the future,

493
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: and by the time the future happens, we all forget

494
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: what the story was. But it's just feeding a narrative

495
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: so destructive and so dishonest. I mean that, if nothing else,

496
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 1: Trump is at war with the mainstream media and he's winning.

497
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: And that's incredible for a lot of us sitting here, Uh,

498
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: a lot of us sitting here thinking about what's going

499
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: on with this administration. It is amazing that this guy,

500
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: with no political experience or background whatsoever, has taken on

501
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: the mainstream media in an election and as a candidate,

502
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: and he is beating them. In fact, so far it's

503
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: really a route. So for all the you know, imperfections

504
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: the administration and the legitimate criticisms of it that I

505
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: would have here are there. I never I never lose

506
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: sight of the big picture, which is that we have

507
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: a propaganda apparatus in this country that calls itself honest, fair, true,

508
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: and forthright. And it is time that someone took them

509
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: to task, and Trump is doing it. He has forced

510
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: them out of the you know, they're being forced out

511
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: of the wood work. It is time for us to

512
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: see what's really going on here. We're seeing it and

513
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: there's nothing else that's a very valuable service for the

514
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: American people. All right, eight four four to eight to

515
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: eight four, Buck, what do you think about all this?

516
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: What do you think about the Judge Moore election, Tom

517
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,719
Speaker 1: or everybody? I know you must have some thoughts on that.

518
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: Let me know. We'll be right back, Buck, sex in

519
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: here with you. We are talking about, well, we've talked

520
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: about this hour the terrorist attack in New York City,

521
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: the attempted suicide bombing right near Times Square in a

522
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: subway tunnel. Uh, and we also have been getting into

523
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: the latest of the fake news wars that are going on.

524
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: Ed you know h on w h l O wants

525
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: to chat? What's up? Ed? Yes, Sir, Mr Sexton UM

526
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: two comments here your observation about people from all over

527
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: the world live in New York City and this what's

528
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: his name? Isaiah Ula? Yeah, how would he justify killing

529
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: his fellow Muslims? And my platoon sergeant in the reserves

530
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: made a comment about how the Muslim world a lot

531
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: of themselves with Hitler in World War Two because of

532
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: his hatred for the Jews, and that's yeah, the Mufti,

533
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: the Grand Mufti in Jerusalem, the Grand Muffie in Jerusalem

534
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: did uh? Did allie with Hitler? Was uh in cahots

535
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: with Hitler? And as to your initial question, And by

536
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: the way, how many people have heard that story about

537
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: the Grand Muffie? Right? You don't hear a lot of

538
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: that uh and then Grand muff But I know the

539
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: Muslims did ally themselves with Hitler. But I did hurt

540
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: about the Grand Mufti, but I never heard debt proclamation right. Well, anyway,

541
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: the the first part of your question though, on how

542
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: Muslims can kill fellow Muslims, it's actually something that uh

543
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: that exists in jihattest circles where they will say that

544
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: if you don't agree with them, then you are I mean,

545
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: if you're a Muslim who does not subscribe to their

546
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: version of Islam, to the Jihadi version of Islam, you're

547
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: considered uh koufar. You're considered a nonbeliever, so you were

548
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: therefore it would be like a Catholic killing and episcopillion.

549
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of like a carte blanche to uh

550
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: to excommunicate somebody from the faith and then kill them.

551
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: And there's also within jie hottest circles the idea that

552
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: let's say, let's say, for example, a suicide bomber in

553
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: Iraq in a marketplace kills a fellow jie hottest who

554
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 1: happen to be walking through the market who has planned

555
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: to be a suicide bomber the next day. Well, what

556
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: they tell themselves is that, oh, well, he is a

557
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: martyr for the cause, and so then he'll go straight

558
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: to heaven and and get the virgins and all the

559
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: rest of it. Right, So if you're killed, yeah, eat

560
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: So so if you're killed in the process of a

561
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: of a righteous mujahadeen martyrdroom operation and you are a

562
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: jihadi and you're doing your part, then you go, you know,

563
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: you go straight to to paradise if you're killed and

564
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: you're a nonbeliever. And by the way, you should know

565
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: that this isn't really a consistent but you know, they

566
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: don't care about consistency. These guys are barbarians. Uh. If

567
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: you're killed as a Muslim who is a peaceful, law

568
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: abiding uh, you know everyday Muslim, Well, you weren't part

569
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: of the jihad, so you're as bad as a nonbeliever.

570
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: You're actually kind of a collaborator with what would be

571
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: called the people of the book, which would be Christians

572
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: and Jews, and so you can be killed for that, right.

573
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: So so they have a rationalization for for killing because

574
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: they kill more Muslims. I mean, this is important for

575
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: everybody to know. Geehaw does kill more Muslims than any

576
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: other group. Right, there are more Muslims that are dying

577
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: because guys are yelling lahawak barn hitting, suicide vest plungers

578
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: than any other group out there. Now. A big part

579
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: of that is obviously proximity and the internet scene struggles

580
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: going on in these different states, but should be kept

581
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: in mind and that's why allies in the Islamic world

582
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: are are so important, right, I mean the Kurds, I've

583
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: been fighting against these maniac herds or Muslims. They've been

584
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: fighting against these maniacs very effectively for a long time.

585
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, so it has to do with and it's

586
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: called tock fear. Uh. These guys who declare other Muslims

587
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 1: outside the faith are tock fury. And that's that's how

588
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: all this stuff works. So there's a there's a doctrine,

589
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: if you will, of slaughtering fellow Muslims that jihadists use.

590
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,720
Speaker 1: All right, that's what Uh well, thank you, Ed, hopefully

591
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: I answer that question. Um hold on Alabama's uh more,

592
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: just real quick. This is what he said about recently,

593
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: about the allegations Lee Corfman and Beverley A. Young Nelson

594
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: have come forward with serious allegations. You have said that

595
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: you did not know them or had no encounter with them.

596
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: That's my understanding. I did not know them, had no

597
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: one encounter with him. I never molested anyone. And for

598
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: them to say that, I don't know why they're saying it,

599
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: but it's not true. All right. There you go, Judge

600
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: Moore saying it's all lies. The election is tomorrow. What's

612
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: All right, So tell me, man, you're down there, You're

613
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: hearing it, you're seeing it, you're living at what is

614
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: going on in this Alabama Senate race. As we approached

615
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: the final stretch, I hear robo calls all kinds of

616
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: dirty tricks. What's happening? Were you sure? Do black? A

617
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: lot of activity happening tonight. Both of the candidates are

618
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: holding rallies. Republican Roy Moore is appearing with former White

619
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: House strategist Steve Bannon Democrat Doug Jones is holding a

620
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 1: rally with Charles Barkley. As you mentioned, the presidential robo

621
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: calls are going out. We have President Trump making robo

622
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: calls on behalf of more, former President Obama doing the

623
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: same for for Doug Jones, and those calls are going

624
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: out today to voters across the state. Jim, what are

625
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: you hearing about the polls right now? I mentioned one

626
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: from Fox News before, But is this supposed to be

627
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: a neck and neck race right now? Well, we did

628
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: receive a batch of late polls today. Most of the

629
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: polls showed more with an advantage. The margin ranged from

630
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: a few points to as many as nine. Uh. The

631
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: one outlier was the Fox News poll which had Jones

632
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: up by ten and uh. Then if you look at

633
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 1: the Real Clear Politics average of polls, it showed a

634
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: more edge of about two points. So a lot of

635
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: conflicting information out there. Of course, the big variable, uh

636
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: is the turnout, which is a little bit of an

637
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,760
Speaker 1: unknowable since we're kind of in some uncharted territory because

638
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 1: of the unique circumstances of this being a special election.

639
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: Right smack dab in the middle of the month of December,

640
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: so a lot of folks wondering how that's gonna look.

641
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 1: When those numbers start coming in tomorrow night. Uh, we'll

642
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 1: find out who was able to turn out their voters.

643
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: What are you hearing from those in your state in

644
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: Alabama who are not decided yet? Are they trying to

645
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: figure out whether they believe the allegations against more still

646
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: or they just trying to determine what the most politically

647
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 1: advantageous thing for them to do as a voter is

648
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: based upon the agenda they would like to see enacted. Well,

649
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: it's interesting. I think a lot of the Republican voters

650
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: have been processing this information ever since the Washington Post

651
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: dropped it last month, and there's been lots of discussion,

652
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: lots of debate about it, but the consensus among Republican

653
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: voters and of course we can't lose sight of the

654
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 1: fact that this is a very Republican, very conservative state.

655
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: And Uh, the voters have been discussing this, have been

656
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: analyzing it, and the feeling seems to be that the

657
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 1: Republican voters are not putting a lot of stock in

658
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: these allegations, which date back as long as forty years ago. Uh,

659
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: the voters are keenly aware that there is a narrow

660
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: majority in the Senate. President Trump is very popular in Alabama.

661
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 1: There is a strong desire on the part of Republican

662
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: voters in this state to see the President's agenda enacted,

663
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: and there are concerns, uh that a Democratic victory in

664
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: this Senate race would impede the President getting his agenda passed. Jim,

665
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: what can you tell us about the mechanics of this Tomorrow?

666
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: Polls open, one closed, when any other variables? You're expecting

667
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: seven am to seven pm. Lots of absentee votes have

668
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: already been cast. They have been coming in to the

669
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: state capital. And after seven o'clock Central time tomorrow night, uh,

670
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: we will await the numbers coming in uh from Montgomery,

671
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: the state capital, and of course, all eyes and all

672
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: ears will be on Alabama as that process unfolds. Jim

673
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: Arty is an anchor at news radio one oh five

674
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:56,879
Speaker 1: point five w e r C down in Birmingham, Alabama. Jim,

675
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: great stuff tonight. We hope you can join tomorrow and

676
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: keep us up to speed with every happening in this

677
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: Senate race. Great to be with you, Buck, Thank you

678
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: very much, sir, uh So, Yeah, Bruce or Amy Tyrone.

679
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: Let's get let's get Jim to see if you can

680
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: join tomorrow, because we're gonna be on We're gonna be

681
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: on air here in the Hut when those results come in.

682
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: That's gonna be interesting. I know we've already said I

683
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: I asked Tyrone before, and we've already put out there

684
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: that we believe that more will probably pull this one out. Uh,

685
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very interesting from the commentary at what

686
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: the what the reactions to this might be the I

687
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: think there are a lot of Republicans, a lot of

688
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: Republicans the media, some former never Trumpers who are more

689
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: anti more than any Democrats that I've seen yet, which

690
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 1: is a pretty amazing thing to say. But I think

691
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: it's true. We are out of place right now where

692
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: this has really become about the fracture within the GOP

693
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: as much as it is about the Democrat versus Republican

694
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: aspect of this. And look, Trump Trump has has been

695
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: he's been supportive, he's had the robot, he's got the

696
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 1: robot calls out there. I think that's going to be

697
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: a major major factor here in the final stretch. It

698
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: looks to me like they're gonna just have enough to

699
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: to get over get over the edge here and have

700
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,479
Speaker 1: Roy Moore win. And I feel like for a lot

701
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: of folks, and I've been reading all your messages about this,

702
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: and we've taken a tremendous number of phone calls all

703
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: on air over the weeks about the Roy Moore case. Specifically,

704
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: the consensus I get from a lot of you down

705
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: in Alabama, and I I know we have a really robust,

706
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: hardy and very much appreciated Alabama contingent that listens to

707
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: the show, Alabama Team Buck, is that you know, the

708
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: the stories that I've been told about Roy Moore, the

709
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: allegations against him, um are still all both unproven and

710
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: denied by the candidate. And to give up this, I'm

711
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: just trying to channel what I have been picking up

712
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 1: from all of you. But I think the consensus opinion

713
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: that I've I've heard from the Alabama's who are listening

714
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: to the show is that they don't want to possibly

715
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 1: throw a wrench into the entire Trump and Republican agenda

716
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: because of the possibility that Judge Moore uh engaged in

717
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: reprehensible conduct some four decades ago, that that seems to

718
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: be what I what I have that seems to be

719
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: where a lot of you are. And I know, I know,

720
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: I know some of you are certainly there because you've

721
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: told me explicitly. But I think if I had to

722
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: try and assess what the the as much as there

723
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: can be a consensus on these things, what what the

724
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: dominant narrative is that I'm hearing, it's that is that

725
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: you And also I know that people are apportioned this

726
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: and I completely understand there is an issue here of

727
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: life U of Doug Jones being a pro abortion zealot

728
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: and if this you know you think of it in

729
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: that context, and what it would mean to get through

730
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:14,399
Speaker 1: any kind of Republican legislation that would limit late term

731
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: abortions or that would would would save lives of the unborn.

732
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 1: You've got a very uh compelling moral argument for not

733
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: pulling the lever for a Democrat. There at least some

734
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 1: of you may go third party. Look, it's gonna be

735
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: or writing I should say, not third party. It's gonna

736
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: be a very interesting night tomorrow. We will be here

737
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: with you live on the show as we talk about it,

738
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 1: so we will have the results for you as they

739
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: happen here in the Freedom Hunt. So I'm looking forward

740
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 1: to having you on with me tomorrow on that, and

741
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: I want to, by the way, just take a break

742
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: here to get into some policy. I want to talk

743
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: to you about Obamacare for a few minutes because we're

744
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: going to the end of the year and I had

745
00:45:55,680 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 1: a great I have a great interviewee to join us. Um,

746
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: So I'm talking about Obamacare, and then a little more

747
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: on the media from Joe Kancha, and also the victory

748
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: over ISIS with Iraq got a pact show stay with me.

749
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 1: So the reports of the Republican Party's demise or the

750
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: Trump Agenda's demise are are greatly exaggerated, as we've been

751
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: talking about here on the show. But I do want

752
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 1: to focus us as well on the policy going forward.

753
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: It's not enough to just say that things are going

754
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: to get better. We have to talk about how they

755
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: could be made better. Because the administration is not defeated

756
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: as we know, but has a lot of work to do,

757
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: a lot of promises to keep, and high on that

758
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: list is the repeal and replacement or something about Obamacare.

759
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: And to talk to us about that, We've got an

760
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: expert in studio with us here at the Hoover Institution,

761
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: Dr Scott Atlas, who's a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution,

762
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: and he's also the author of Restoring Quality Healthcare, a

763
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: six point plan for comprehensive reform at lower cost Important stuff.

764
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: Dr out. That's great to have you. Nice to be here,

765
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 1: all right, so I know you. You've been telling me

766
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: there is a a disconnect in healthcare right now in

767
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: the national across the board discussion between what people want

768
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: by and large, and what Congress is trying to do

769
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: right now. Tell me about this, well, the real disconnect

770
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: is that the policy makers in Congress are focused on

771
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: getting people insurance and by any cost, whether that is

772
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,919
Speaker 1: subsidizing the price of insurance or changing in tax code

773
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: or whatever. And the reality is that insurance is a

774
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: secondary thing. The primary thing that determines access to care

775
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 1: and quality of care is the price of medical care.

776
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:46,240
Speaker 1: My point is that the Congress reforms should be focused

777
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: on getting the price of care down by getting rid

778
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: of barriers, the competition, getting rid of the bad incentives

779
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: that we have in place right now. Once the price

780
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: of care comes down via competition, quality goes up and

781
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: access goes up. In an insurance premiums, by the way,

782
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: also come down. The cost of insurance comes down because

783
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: the main reflector of insurance cost is the price of

784
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: medical care itself. If all you do is focus on

785
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: getting people insurance, you're propping up a bad system, the

786
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: one that we have right now, which is filled with

787
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: bad incentives. So we know that, for instance, when insurance

788
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: covers every penny out of your pocket or minimizes out

789
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: of pocket payment, no one cares about the price of

790
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: the of the of the medical care itself, and so

791
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: you don't neither no nor even ask about what the

792
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: price is, and therefore you're propping up high prices. And

793
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: the same thing goes with the tax code, etcetera. I

794
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: think that that's become a public perception problem as well. Though.

795
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: You have a lot of individuals who have gotten used

796
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: to those who have good plans, employer provided plans with

797
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: good benefits, have it have an idea in their heads

798
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,760
Speaker 1: that they will pay a very small amount for doctors visits,

799
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,399
Speaker 1: for procedures, and that someone else is going to handle

800
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: everything else, And that seems to be the overriding promise

801
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,720
Speaker 1: right now, and healthcare in this country is that someone

802
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: else is going to pay. As you say, bad incentives

803
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: propping up a bad system. How do we transition from

804
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: a world in which politicians can promise that somebody else

805
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: will pay into world in which we see that one

806
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: that's not true and not sustainable and too if we

807
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 1: had price sensitivity with regard to healthcare, if people had

808
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 1: to care about where the dollars were going, it would

809
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: actually be better for them in the long run. Well,

810
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: that's absolutely right. That's the whole point. We need to

811
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: get rid of the hyper regulated state that Obamacare continued

812
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: and increased. But although it didn't initiate it, these regulations

813
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 1: and bad incentives and health insurance where very few dollars

814
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: were paid out of pocket and therefore you didn't care

815
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 1: about price were there before Obamacare. It's just said. Obamacare

816
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:57,240
Speaker 1: doubled down on it with increasing the kind of regulations

817
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: on the mandates of what's covered, uh on minimizing the

818
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: availability of very high deductible care. And what I want

819
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: to do is shift the payment into a system where

820
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: people have options for cheaper insurance at at a higher deductible,

821
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: meaning they pay more out of pocket. There get what

822
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: you said, price sensitivity. They should care what their money

823
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: is getting. Value based decisions are made in every other

824
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: part of life. We we have cheaper computers. The phone

825
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: in your pocket that's really almost a supercomputer these days

826
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: doesn't cost tens of thousands of dollars, and that's not

827
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:41,879
Speaker 1: because the government has subsidized its price. It's because there's

828
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: competition for consumers who are actually paying and therefore care

829
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: about the price. We need to get rid of the

830
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: regulations that shield the information and the concern about price

831
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: of care. We need to get that through higher deductible

832
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: plans and with those cheaper insurance plans, which people want.

833
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: By the way, you also increase health savings accounts so

834
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: that people have the cash and therefore and change the

835
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 1: regulations so that they actually keep the money and even

836
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: turn it over to people who survived them when they die.

837
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 1: And when they keep the money, they have a motivation

838
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,760
Speaker 1: to care about not spending the money. There's no reason

839
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: that you shouldn't care about the value of the medical

840
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 1: carrier getting. Is there a component of the discussion that

841
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: should also include and when we talk about reforming healthcare,

842
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: and we have Dr Scott Atlas with us here, he's

843
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution here at Stanford University.

844
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: Is there a part of this that should be it

845
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: should involve Dr Atlas that individuals need to understand that

846
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: if we're going to have a healthcare market that is

847
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:47,879
Speaker 1: based upon personal choice and personal responsibility, that also then

848
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: means that issues like community rating, that your lifestyle choices,

849
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: that your previous health not notwithstanding pre existing conditions that

850
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: are a lifelong issue that someone's born with or develops,

851
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 1: but that you're going to have to have older people

852
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 1: paying more, people who have a certain history of smoking

853
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: or alcohol abuse. These are all what would come into

854
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 1: play in an actual insurance market. They have been largely

855
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 1: taken out of the insurance market. Now you have the

856
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: young subsidizing the older, you have the six subsidizing the healthy.

857
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: Is that something that we should address or is that

858
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 1: now just the way it's going to be. No, you're

859
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: absolutely right. There's been a distortion of the risk factors

860
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: and the use of insurance that are normally taken into

861
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: account when you actually price insurance. And this is the

862
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,760
Speaker 1: five speeding tickets. My insurance is going up absolutely healthcare

863
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: market now and say hey, five speeding tickets everybody. You

864
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 1: know what happens, absolutely right, and what what Obamacare did

865
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,720
Speaker 1: for instances that they shifted, you know, in an extra

866
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:51,280
Speaker 1: way the burden to healthy people by minimizing the impact

867
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 1: of age and and making something called essentially guaranteed issue,

868
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: which is you shouldn't bother to get insurance because you

869
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: don't need to until you're already sick. And that is

870
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: the genesis of the so called death spiral of insurance,

871
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: were the only people that are are insured are actually

872
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: super sick. Therefore they're very costly to the insurance uh

873
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: companies and the insurance pool itself. Therefore the insurance premium

874
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 1: skyrocket there for healthier people won't buy the insurance, and

875
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,359
Speaker 1: it's a cycle so that all the insurers go out

876
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: of business. And this is what we have with Obamacare.

877
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 1: But you're you're absolutely right, you have to you are

878
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 1: allowed to change the price of insurance. By the way,

879
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: if you smoke, but you should also be impacted if

880
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: you have another major lifestyle choice, which is obesity. We

881
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: know that there's a massive amount of added medical care

882
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: for smokers, but it's actually exceeded by obesity. And so

883
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: if you can charge people more who are voluntarily smoking

884
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: extra insurance. You should also have that kind of potential

885
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: to charge people more for other lifestyle choices that add

886
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: to health costs, like obesity. And there's another major part

887
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 1: of this, if I may, it's not just about the

888
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 1: structure of insurance. It's also about the supply of medical care.

889
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,399
Speaker 1: There are massive barriers to competition that have been put

890
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 1: in place, uh in sort of a monopolistic way by

891
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: the medical side of things. In other words, the the

892
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,879
Speaker 1: for instance, the number of graduates from medical school has

893
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: plateaued for over forty years. Okay, there's an intentional restriction

894
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: of supply to avoid competition among doctors. There's a massive

895
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: effort needed to increase the number of people trained and

896
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 1: training programs and specialties. There's also a restriction of practice

897
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 1: by people who could do primary care at a cheaper level,

898
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: like nurse practitioners and physician assistance. Doctors don't generally want

899
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: that because that competition lowers the price of care. We

900
00:54:55,960 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 1: need to get that competition introduced into healthcare US like

901
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: it is in every other good or service that we buy. Yeah,

902
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 1: doctors want to be able to write a prescription for

903
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: zitro max in three minutes to get paid three dollars

904
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: for the visit, which right now is unfortunately driving off

905
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 1: the expense for a lot of us that want to go,

906
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,280
Speaker 1: especially if you don't have insurance. Well, I but again

907
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 1: like that, that's the that's sort of the problem there,

908
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,439
Speaker 1: you said, especially if you don't have insurance. I think

909
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: that you need to expose people to understanding that healthcare

910
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:28,240
Speaker 1: is not free, and nothing is free. It costs money,

911
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: and if you shield them from the price of these things,

912
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: you're going to artificially elevate the consumption of healthcare and

913
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 1: in fact minimize the competition. And it's harmful to consumers.

914
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: So you'd go see the nurse if you can pay

915
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: fifty bucks to get the same prescription. Well, and it's

916
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,280
Speaker 1: not so much about prescription, it's really about the very

917
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:50,359
Speaker 1: what I call a very simple primary care things that

918
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: you don't need an m d. Degree to take blood pressure,

919
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: to renew prescriptions that are routine, to do a kind

920
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 1: of well well baby or well person checkups, to look

921
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: at somebody who has the flu. And in fact, it

922
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: turns out that there's data on this. This is not

923
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: just an assertion by me. We know from the outpatient

924
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 1: clinics that are staffed by nurse practitioners and physician assistance,

925
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: that the results for these very simple primary care things

926
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 1: are equal to m d s doing them, and they're

927
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: significantly less costly and there's high patient satisfaction. By the way, Well,

928
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna send this to maybe Paul Ryan and some

929
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,279
Speaker 1: of the other folks in d C help help. They'll

930
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: listen to it, maybe they'll actually have some ideas for

931
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 1: health care legislation that would make things better. Dr Scott

932
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: Atlas of the Hoover Institution, great to have you, sure,

933
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 1: thank you for your time. Thank you. Look, reporters, journalists

934
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: make mistakes. Our record as journalists in covering this Trump

935
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: story and the Russian story is pretty good, especially UH

936
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: compared to the record of Donald Trump UH and his

937
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: UH serial line. I think there is a suspension of

938
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 1: belief and reasonable looking at how the media does its

939
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 1: job on both sides, people are looking for information that

940
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 1: reinforces what they already believe instead of the best obtainable

941
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 1: version of the truth. Most of the media really tries

942
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 1: the mainstream media, the big news institutions, from the Washington

943
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: Post and the New York Times to the Wall Street

944
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: Journal to CNN really go out of their way to

945
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: be accurate, factual, contextual. Uh, And we do, and we've

946
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 1: done a pretty good job of it, I would say,

947
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: by and large, and excellent job of it in terms

948
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: of the facts of this hugely complicated story. Wrong, wrong, wrong,

949
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 1: And how much wrong can one reporter get into a

950
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 1: rant there? How much stuff can one guy say that

951
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: you're just like, no, wait, that was Carl Bernstein saying

952
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 1: that they're actually doing a good job when it comes

953
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: to the Russia calloo an investigation and the reporting on

954
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: it that is absolute nonsense. But to talk a bit

955
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 1: about the media's coverage of all this, we got Joe

956
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 1: Kanscha on the line. Now. He's a media reporter and

957
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: columnist for The Hill. Joe, great to have you, sir.

958
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 1: Fuck you're as busy as I am these days. It

959
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: appeared I'm trying, man. I mean, it's it's tough to

960
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: it's tough to keep up with the concha, But you know,

961
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Tell

962
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: me a bit here, sir, about what you think about

963
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: Bernstein's little monologue there, Because I've said this before, there's

964
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: a bunch of ways we could frame this one. There

965
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 1: are no stories that are pro Trump that ever have

966
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 1: to be retracted. That never happens. There's never a like

967
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: Trump's on the precipice of some agreement that would be

968
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: great with Democrats or anyone else. Oh, psych, that didn't happen. Also,

969
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 1: there are I can't remember any stories from the Obama

970
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: administration that basically would have ended Obama's presidency that they

971
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 1: were like, oh, yeah, that was totally false. You nhit

972
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: the day on the head. But what can I really

973
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: add to that? You're exactly right. What when are we

974
00:58:56,600 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: going to see one positive leak story on the administration?

975
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 1: It just doesn't happen. But I Karl Bernstein, Okay, uh,

976
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 1: that that's one thing I always compared Carl Bernstein. You

977
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 1: remember Simon and Garfuncle from the seventies, kind of I

978
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: was not born. They were big. They were a big duo, okay.

979
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: And the guy with the poofy hair, I respect poofy hair,

980
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 1: poofy hair was Garfuncle. And in the end, you don't

981
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: want to be Garfuncle. Paul Simon's the bigger the two names.

982
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: That's that's Bernstein. I'm sorry. That's Woodward. Woodward is Simon

983
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 1: garfuncle is Bernstein. In other words, Woodward, I think is

984
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: still very objective. He's sober in his analysis said this

985
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: is he told the media at the White House correspondence dinner,

986
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: this is not the time to be smug. You're making

987
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 1: mistakes and while we're not fake news, you're you guys

988
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 1: gotta shape up. Two. Karl Bernstein just gone completely to

989
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: the left and will defend media to the end, even

990
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 1: in a situation like this. But David Frump, who was

991
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: a former speech writer for George W. Bush, oh, oh wait, wait, wait, wait,

992
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: hold up, Joe, we got that clip. We're gonna play

993
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 1: it for you and then you can tell us about it.

994
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: Please do. Mistakes are precisely the reason that people should

995
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: trust media. Astronomy astronomers make mistakes all the time because

996
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 1: science is a process of discovery of truth. Astrologers never

997
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: make mistakes, or at least they never own up to them,

998
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: because what they're offering is a closed system of ideology

999
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: and propaganda. Meanwhile, from the President and his supporters, you

1000
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: hear a system of lies. So they're not well placed

1001
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: to complain because the mistakes occur in the process of

1002
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: exposing the lies that the liars then complain about the

1003
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 1: mistakes literally, So Joe, we should trust the media more,

1004
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 1: he starts out with, because they make these huge mistakes.

1005
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 1: You can't make this stuff up. This is like the government,

1006
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: where failure just requires more money. There's a there's a

1007
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: line around water skis and sharks and jumping over them

1008
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: here right, Except this, this clears the entire ocean. Well

1009
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: taken from just said and and you're watching the show

1010
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 1: and you see Brian's Delter and Carl Perency and just

1011
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: shaking their heads so pensively. Oh boy, that is some

1012
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 1: pretty deep stuff. I mean, come on, man, I mean

1013
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: it looks last week was one of the worst weeks

1014
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 1: ever for our political media because so many different major

1015
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 1: outlets made so many huge mistakes, and they all had

1016
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: three things in common. Buck One, we saw that these

1017
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 1: were all pertaining to Russia. Okay, to to our point earlier,

1018
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: they're all profoundly negative to the Trump administration. Three not

1019
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: only all based on unnamed sources or in Brian Ross's case,

1020
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 1: an unnamed source, but also poorly vetted sources. I mean

1021
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: C and N. When ahead with a story that was

1022
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: read to them by two different sources. In other words,

1023
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 1: they didn't ask for the document that was being read from,

1024
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 1: which basically said that Donald Trump Jr. Received Wikileaku's documents

1025
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 1: after they're in the public domain. They trusted whoever their

1026
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: source was, which I would imagine is probably a political

1027
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: operative or a lawmakers no innocent type of whistleblower. Uh

1028
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: And and they ate it up and they ran with

1029
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 1: it in the Washington Post two hours later. So I

1030
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: don't know. We got the email right here, and your

1031
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 1: your story is wrong. It's this rush to get everything

1032
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: out and this love of the narrative. Like seagulls at

1033
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: the beach, you feed up anything it could be. It

1034
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: could be great aid dog food, or could be a

1035
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 1: sirloin steak, and and the seagulls in the media just

1036
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 1: eat it up because they love the narrative too much.

1037
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: And there's no accountability for the most part outside of

1038
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: Brian Ross as far as I could see, we got

1039
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: Joe Conto of The Hill where he is a media reporter,

1040
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: of the Hill, dot coms where you go for his

1041
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,479
Speaker 1: latest and Joe Concho TV is his Twitter handle. Highly

1042
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 1: recommend you give him a follow. Joe Glenn Greenwald, no conservative,

1043
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: but who is one of those lefties who is willing

1044
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 1: to call out his own side, which is which is

1045
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 1: a rarity? I think wrote a piece in the intercept Or.

1046
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: He was just saying, there needs to be a full

1047
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: airing of how that CNN story was so wrong, because

1048
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 1: not only did CNN get it wrong for a long time,

1049
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 1: but they will take no disciplinary action. And there are

1050
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 1: other news organizations that ran with it too, who are

1051
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: presumably all hearing from the same source. How can multiple

1052
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 1: sources get the date wrong on a story where the

1053
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 1: entire story is based on the date Joe, CBS, and NBC,

1054
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 1: to your point, verified the CNN story. What does that

1055
01:02:57,640 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 1: mean They all went to the same person or person

1056
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: and said, is this true? Now, let's let's unpack this.

1057
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 1: Who would possibly have any sort of motivation to weaponize

1058
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 1: false information like that? And you say, well, they corrected

1059
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: the story. CNN did, and then CBS and NBC did

1060
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 1: as well. Right, he said, all right, no big deal,

1061
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: they corrected, no no harm. Here. I point you to

1062
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 1: Jim Shudo's Twitter account. He's a national security correspondent for CNN,

1063
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 1: and he tweeted out the story when seeing in God

1064
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 1: the exclusive, and there was the false version of it,

1065
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 1: of course, and that got twenty three three tweets and

1066
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 1: thirty three hundred likes. Then when the story was corrected,

1067
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: Shudo tweeted out rightly, oh no, no, the story was wrong,

1068
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: and this is actually the correct story. Nobody retweets that

1069
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 1: got fifty two. I'm not very good at math, but

1070
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that that's lower of the people that

1071
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: saw the false tweets. So that's the problem. Even when

1072
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 1: they correct, the allegation goes around the world a hundred

1073
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: times before the exonerations even seen, if it's even seen

1074
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: at all. And and and I think that these sources,

1075
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 1: so to speak, these people that were probably in the

1076
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: Democratic side that heard Donald Trump Jrs. Testimony to them

1077
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: and before the Democratic before the Intelligence Committee excuse me,

1078
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: which is obviously both parties, somebody from that particular interview

1079
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 1: leaked that out. Gee, I wonder who that could be. So, yeah,

1080
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: those sources need to be burned. I couldn't agree with

1081
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 1: Glenn Greenwald more. But I think that these news organizations

1082
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: are afraid that it might be a bigger name than

1083
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: maybe we're expecting. And then Congressional hearing start and so

1084
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,919
Speaker 1: on end, they lose their guy that's probably been feeding

1085
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: them some some false stories from the very beginning of

1086
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 1: the Trump administration and will continue to because no one

1087
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 1: wants to reveal who that person or persons are. Joe,

1088
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 1: I want to give you a I wanna. I want

1089
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 1: to put out theory and test this one with you, Okay,

1090
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 1: And because because I would like to give these major

1091
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: media organizations. Look, I used to work at CNN. I

1092
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 1: know a lot of people over there. I want to

1093
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 1: give them a little bit of credit here because I

1094
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 1: think they're more likely cynical than stupid. And what I

1095
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:55,480
Speaker 1: mean by that is these fake news stories and that

1096
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 1: is what they are. We can argue about how intentional

1097
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 1: they are, but I always say, just like criminal statute,

1098
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 1: there is a criminal state of mind, and then there's

1099
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: also recklessness. I think that they're reporting is recklessly damaging

1100
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 1: to Trump, and they're reckless and how they do it. Therefore,

1101
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 1: they are culpable for it as fake news. Not everyone

1102
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 1: wants to make the jump to me on that, but

1103
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 1: that's fine. But my theory is that they recognize that

1104
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: this is good for business. Their audience wants to hear

1105
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 1: it and in the end it won't actually bite them.

1106
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: I think they figure they can get away with it

1107
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: as long as they bring Trump down. They get all

1108
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: the tweets, they get all the clicks. They're anti Trump,

1109
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: their audience knows it, and yeah, if they have to

1110
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 1: fix it, they've already gotten the boost. If you look

1111
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 1: at people there and I agree with everything you said.

1112
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: Like an Anna Na Borrow, right, who is on the

1113
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: worst pundit on TV? I think, by the way, I'll

1114
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 1: put that out there and she could call me and

1115
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 1: yell at me anytime she wants. I think she may

1116
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 1: be the worst pundit on television. Go ahead, well, she

1117
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 1: knows exactly how to play the game. Say something as

1118
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: provocative as possible, Make the most personal attacks that you

1119
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: can't even attack the people that you're on the air

1120
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 1: with personally, right, and not only for anything up in

1121
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 1: turn ms of solutions or really anything that resembling a

1122
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: compelling thought, and you will get more and more air

1123
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 1: time if you were to say something positive about the

1124
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 1: Trump administration within CNN in terms of opinion, punditry or

1125
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 1: even reporting. Let's say I don't know the economy where

1126
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 1: there's two straight quarters of three GDP growth or unemployments

1127
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 1: at the seventeen year low, or the stock markets here

1128
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 1: and manufacturing jobs are way up. That doesn't get you

1129
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: a gold star over there amongst your peers, amongst your bosses.

1130
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 1: So you've got to try to go as negative as possible.

1131
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: So I think there's a peer pressure over there to

1132
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 1: outdo the other guy or girl in terms of being

1133
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 1: as negative towards the president as possible, so you can

1134
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: be get the adilation of of your peers over there.

1135
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: So I think peer pressure has just as much to

1136
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 1: do with an ideological difference with the president. Well, I'm

1137
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 1: not trying to butter you up here, Mr Kancha, but

1138
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 1: I completely agree. And I would say that reasonable voices

1139
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 1: are often marginalized over there from the right. And I

1140
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 1: have had personal experience with this, because you either have

1141
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 1: to go on TV and say just really immaturely nasty

1142
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 1: things or you know, immature nasty things about Donald Trump,

1143
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: or you have to go on TV be like, you know, well,

1144
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: I I like Donald Trump because I am an idiot.

1145
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that's basically those are the only two kinds

1146
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: of conservatives they really want on television over there. They're

1147
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 1: all characters in the play. And you know, I hear

1148
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 1: this charge level that foxes State, Media, State, Media, State

1149
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 1: all they all support Trump. For what I can see

1150
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 1: because we're on that network a little bit, I hear

1151
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 1: plenty of people that are critical of the president. Yeah,

1152
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 1: Fox and Friends like some fine, Hannity likes some fine.

1153
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,120
Speaker 1: But then there are just as many people over there

1154
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 1: that are never Trumpers, or people that just disagree with

1155
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: them on policy or the way he goes about the

1156
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 1: way he communicates, which makes for more interesting conversation in

1157
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 1: the end. So, while CNN's business is good in terms

1158
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:48,360
Speaker 1: of ad revenue, the ratings are horrific. I mean they're

1159
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 1: they're a distant third. They can't even get a million

1160
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 1: viewers CNN. Can you imagine a million viewers in primetime,

1161
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 1: while Fox usually and even Rachel Matto gets more like

1162
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: three or four millions. So I guess business is good.

1163
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: But if you're not doing well under a Trump administration

1164
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:03,479
Speaker 1: where every day is unpredictable and the news cycle change

1165
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 1: is so fast and so crazy, then then you've got problems.

1166
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 1: If you're not making money here, they could be doing

1167
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 1: a lot better if they just went back to the

1168
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 1: old CNN. A real quick question for let you Go, Joe,

1169
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 1: and that is uh. I don't know if you saw this,

1170
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 1: but Ryan Liza a fellow Is he a fellow media reporter?

1171
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 1: Am I getting confused with the Solizza guy? I can

1172
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 1: never keep it straight? But Ryan Liz is out at

1173
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 1: the politics editor at large at CNN. Uh. Liza is

1174
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: a New York magazine Washington correspondence, so he's not a

1175
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 1: media guy. Um. But yeah, he just got fired. But

1176
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 1: this is very interesting under sexual harassment claims. He says

1177
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:38,560
Speaker 1: that this was a consensual relationship that he had with

1178
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:41,679
Speaker 1: the woman. He treated her very respectfully. He's totally disagrees

1179
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 1: with the New Yorker's decision. This isn't like maybe I

1180
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: did something wrong or I don't remember. He is outright

1181
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 1: saying this is ridiculous. This is a relationship I had

1182
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:51,639
Speaker 1: with someone. So but I look, I hope he makes

1183
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 1: his case a little bit publicly, if that's true, because

1184
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 1: I've been worried about this for a while. We're gonna

1185
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 1: start to get into like, you know, office relationship or

1186
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: even you know, industry relationship goes bad and all of

1187
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 1: a sudden, people getting fired for it or any political

1188
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:06,720
Speaker 1: candidate you want to take out, then enough money can

1189
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 1: can be put behind someone to make sure that happens.

1190
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 1: I've and I think most women are telling the truth.

1191
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:14,839
Speaker 1: I mean that's what studies and stats show in these cases.

1192
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 1: And many men are that are being accused now are

1193
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,880
Speaker 1: obviously not uh not disputing the claims. Like a Matt

1194
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 1: Lower that was a pretty weak you know, come back right,

1195
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: and he gets it like, yeah, I got caughts that

1196
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:28,639
Speaker 1: that sucks, or Weinstein or Spacey or anybody else, but uh,

1197
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 1: you know, in this case, I mean he he is steadfast,

1198
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 1: like this is somebody had a relationship with And I

1199
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: have no idea where this is coming from. And I

1200
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 1: totally disagree with getting fired. So CNN has is spending

1201
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 1: him as well. He's a contributor there and they're gonna

1202
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 1: look into it. But I mean, in this environment, how

1203
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 1: do you survive this sort of stuff? Well, someone's gonna

1204
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: half the first one who stands up and says, I'm sorry,

1205
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:49,599
Speaker 1: the machinery doesn't get you just eat me because that's

1206
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,680
Speaker 1: the way things are going. Assuming that he's you know,

1207
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 1: not actually a total creepo jerk, which we don't know.

1208
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: But if he's not. I hope he stands up in fights,

1209
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 1: and I hope people of goodwill in the media will

1210
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 1: be willing to listen to him if he was in

1211
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 1: fact not doing anything wrong look left or right. I

1212
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: don't want innocent people or people losing their careers or anything.

1213
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 1: And unless they really deserve something, unless they deserve their

1214
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:11,720
Speaker 1: come up. And so we'll see. Joe Kancho always fun.

1215
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:13,680
Speaker 1: We went super long because you're fun. Got to talk

01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:52,320
Speaker 1: this sexual misconduct allegation for for no reason other than

01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:14,560
Speaker 1: Empire following sexual misconduct allegations. Four women have accused the

1236
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: chef of inappropriate touching in a pattern of behavior that

1237
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 1: spans at least two decades, according to dozens of interviews

1238
01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 1: by eater dot com. Uh and so people, but you

1239

1241
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 1: to him as like creepy and ikey did he but

1242
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 1: he know like Weinstein level stuff, right, nothing with like

1243
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 1: plants and public exposure, closer to Franken, more like a

1244
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 1: Franken thing. Okay, So he's grabby and but um particularly

1245
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 1: grabby apparently for and apparently this is going on for

1246
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: a long time. My wife reads these blind item rumor

1247
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 1: type things, and she told me about this literally over

1248
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 1: a month ago. Really and this was this was brewing

1249
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 1: because I saw last night somebody was tweeting out get

1250
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 1: ready for a chef, and I'm not gonna say who.

1251
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 1: I had some other chefs in mind, because I I

1252
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:07,600
Speaker 1: like chefs, you know, I follow what they do. I

1253
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 1: feel like it's non political. Well, once my wife read

1254
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:13,560
Speaker 1: the blind item, we actually kind of sort of eliminating

1255
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 1: chefs based on things, and it was like the only

1256
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 1: quote unquote a lifts chef that was left was him. Unfortunately, Yeah,

1257
01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 1: you know what, he can't really be Can he be fired?

1258
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 1: Is there? Or you know what I mean? What's the

1259
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 1: I mean, no one's first of all, no one's accusing

1260
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:30,679
Speaker 1: him of anything criminal, right, so this is just being

1261
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 1: he's being gross and and sexually. There might be some

1262
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 1: civil suits out of this from what I understand, and

1263
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 1: he's stepping away from his company. I guess it just

1264
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 1: hurts the brand and the restaurants, and unfortunately, I guess

1265
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:44,200
Speaker 1: all the employees of the restaurants more than it hurts

1266
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 1: him individually. I mean, as long as he's taking care

1267
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:49,679
Speaker 1: of his money, just sort of just sad for the women. Wow,

1268
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 1: he's got a thousand employees, that's a lot. That's a

1269
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 1: big it's a big operation that he's he's a part of.

1270
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 1: Uh so yeah, I mean he was one of the

1271
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 1: first stars from Food Networks Malta Mario. Look, I know chefs,

1272
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 1: celebrity chefs are celebrities. They're just people too, I know,

1273
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 1: but like even the chefs, man, even though now people

1274
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:09,320
Speaker 1: I know, people who know professional chefs are like buck,

1275
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 1: A lot of them are total maniacs, and I get

1276
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 1: you know, their control freaks, and you know, you hear

1277
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 1: these like probably urban legend stories about like a French

1278
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 1: chef who's like, get out of my kidchen and throws

1279
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: like knives against the wall and freaks out of people.

1280
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 1: But I feel like that's usually a caricature, or maybe

1281
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 1: it's not, but it just is. Uh, this is everywhere now, man,

1282
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 1: I mean now now it's Holly, It's Hollywood politics and

1283
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:37,680
Speaker 1: even the culinary world. It's been in corporate America for

1284
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:40,559
Speaker 1: a while, so I guess that's there's no surprise here. Really,

1285
01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: It's just I didn't think Marrow, but Holly Man, he

1286
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:45,720
Speaker 1: seemed like he seemed jolly. I know, I want to

1287
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:47,040
Speaker 1: ask you this. I know we don't have that much

1288
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,920
Speaker 1: time left. How long can this go on like you know,

1289
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,679
Speaker 1: Christmas break kind of things slow down when we come back.

1290
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 1: Do you think everybody's still firing, like you know, it's

1291
01:13:56,840 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: just firing on all cylinders. I don't know. I feel

1292
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 1: like they've probably at this point, this has been going

1293
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 1: on for so long that if something hasn't come forward

1294
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 1: or people haven't come forward, I wonder, you know why

1295
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:09,639
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have, right, But but who knows. I just

1296
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:12,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's uh and by the way they've I

1297
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:14,519
Speaker 1: will say this, they've just scratched the service of the

1298
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 1: news media with this. Oh there's so much more. I

1299
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 1: don't know if it'll come out, but there's so much more.

1300
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 1: That's all I can say about it. Man. You know,

1301
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:23,200
Speaker 1: I wish I could start dropping names, but that's not

1302
01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 1: nice because I don't know. I don't know, all right,

1303
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 1: Thank you, Tyrone Marabtali. You know, I just just wanted

1304
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,160
Speaker 1: to just want to learn how to make spaghetti and

1305
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:35,880
Speaker 1: and meatballs like that guy, and now here he is

1306
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:40,160

1308
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:44,679
Speaker 1: victory there against the Islamic State. Why do I think

1309
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 1: this is important for all of us to talk about

1310
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 1: in this country. Right after the break, I'll tell you

1311
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 1: stay with me. You are now entering the Freedom Technical

1312
01:14:54,439 --> 01:15:00,719
Speaker 1: Operations Center programs must keV strictly need to know. Team

1313
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 1: Buck is cleared and ready for the Buck brief. Iraq

1314
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 1: is fully liberated from the Islamic State. According to the

1315
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: Iraqi military. This is Prime Minister hyder all a body.

1316
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 1: On his Twitter account, he wrote today, our heroic armed

1317
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 1: forces have now secured the entire length of the Iraq

1318
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 1: Syria border. We defeated dash Isis through our unity and

1319
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 1: sacrifice for the nation. Long live Iraq and its people.

1320
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 1: So here we are now the campaign to beat the

1321
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:41,919
Speaker 1: Islamic State in Iraq at least has come to a close.

1322
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 1: I think this is getting lost in the shuffle of

1323
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 1: so many other media stories right now, because look, there's

1324
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 1: a lot going on, the Roy Moore thing, terrorism in

1325
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:55,840
Speaker 1: New York City, the UH sexually, the continued sexual harassment

1326
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:59,879
Speaker 1: revelations that are coming out every day and ending people's

1327
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:05,559
Speaker 1: rears and bringing down titans of media and not yet

1328
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 1: any titans in politics. But that just give that some time.

1329
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:13,839
Speaker 1: So here we have a story that should be told

1330
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 1: loudly we should be making much more of this. Iraq

1331
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 1: is a case study where a GI hottest insurgency and

1332
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 1: really a GE hottest army, because that's what the Islamic

1333
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 1: State was when it first had its blitzkrieg from Syria

1334
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:38,479
Speaker 1: into Iraq, seizing Mosel and Uh, defeating on on the

1335
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 1: open battlefield military forces that the US had spent the

1336
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 1: better part of oil over a decade mentoring, and ISIS

1337
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: was threatening the outskirts at one point of Baghdad, it

1338
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: was threatening or Bill, the capital of the Kurdish region.

1339
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 1: And we've been fighting and working trying to do everything

1340
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:06,960
Speaker 1: that we can to defeat this terrorI sentity, including thousand

1341
01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 1: coalition air strikes, three years of continued fighting, advising, all

1342
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 1: kinds of intelligence support, everything else that we would do

1343
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:24,439
Speaker 1: for an ally here. And now ISIS has lost its

1344
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 1: last major pocket of control in Iraq. It's still got

1345
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 1: a bit more territory in Syria, and we'll follow up

1346
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 1: on that later this week. But we should take a

1347
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 1: moment and first of all, be thankful for the The

1348
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:42,760
Speaker 1: number is not even clear right now, but maybe five

1349
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:46,280
Speaker 1: thousand or so US troops who are in Iraq you know,

1350
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:50,040
Speaker 1: the US pilots who are flying those planes, US Special

1351
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 1: Forces advisors, training and advising and sometimes doing a whole

1352
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 1: lot more than that on the ground. Um, we should

1353
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 1: be thankful and this is their victory as well. Here's

1354
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 1: what Prime Minister Alabadi said as well today, dear Iraqis,

1355
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 1: your land has been completely liberated and your towns and

1356
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:14,840
Speaker 1: villages have been returned to the homeland. The dream of

1357
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 1: liberals of liberation became a reality. Isis dream has come

1358
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 1: to an end. We must remove all its effects and

1359
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 1: should not allow terrorism to return again. Now this is

1360
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:33,719
Speaker 1: the second time that the g hottest cancer has been

1361
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 1: excised from Iraq. The first time it was through al Qaeda,

1362
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:42,400
Speaker 1: through the the organization of al Qaeda in Iraq, and

1363
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:46,760
Speaker 1: you had the Awakening movement and iraqis rising up and

1364
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:51,679
Speaker 1: at the village level, village to village coming together and

1365
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:55,840
Speaker 1: and working with US troops, coalition troops as part of

1366
01:18:55,880 --> 01:19:02,640
Speaker 1: the surge to restore some semblance of order and security

1367
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:04,720
Speaker 1: might be too strong a word, but at least the

1368
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 1: beginnings of security for the Iraqi people. We should be

1369
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 1: pointing out. People talk about messaging, they talk about how

1370
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,679
Speaker 1: do we defeat the global jihad, How do we win

1371
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:20,360
Speaker 1: in the battlefield of ideas? And I just wish there

1372
01:19:20,479 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 1: was more of an effort right now to point at

1373
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:27,560
Speaker 1: the success in Iraq and say, look, this is the country.

1374
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 1: And I know many of you who served, many of

1375
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 1: you who are veterans in Rock Afghanistan know exactly what

1376
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say here and exactly what I'm talking about.

1377
01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 1: This is a country that we came into, deposed a dictator,

1378
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 1: and spend a lot of blood and treasure, but most importantly,

1379
01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 1: our men and women in uniform, killed in action and

1380
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:51,000
Speaker 1: wounded to try and build a better Iraq, to try

1381
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 1: and free them from tyranny, remove them, in a geopolitical sense,

1382
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 1: from the realm of the major threats we were facing

1383
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 1: post nine Levin and that required a tremendous sacrifice on

1384
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:07,559
Speaker 1: our part. And you know what, we haven't colonized Iraq.

1385
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 1: We didn't seize the oil. We weren't there as conquerors.

1386
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:14,720
Speaker 1: We were in Iraq in the same way that we

1387
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 1: were in France and Germany and Japan and South Korea. Yeah,

1388
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: people talk about spreading freedom now with the Bush administration,

1389
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:25,840
Speaker 1: and they say it sarcastically but that's what we did

1390
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:29,960
Speaker 1: in Iraq. You now have a government. It is imperfect

1391
01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:33,839
Speaker 1: in Baghdad, no question. It is far too close to Iran.

1392
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:38,759
Speaker 1: The reliance on Shia militia militias for security in Iraqi

1393
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:43,000
Speaker 1: is deeply concerning. Our near abandonment of our Kurdish friends

1394
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:47,360
Speaker 1: when they declared independence. Bothers me to this day. And

1395
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:49,120
Speaker 1: that was recent, there was just a few months ago.

1396
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:53,280
Speaker 1: But you do have an Iraqi government now that has

1397
01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:57,639
Speaker 1: a chance. In Iraqi people that could have a better future,

1398
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:01,519
Speaker 1: that at least have some hope for or autonomy and

1399
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 1: to say over their own affairs. And that's a great thing.

1400
01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:11,040
Speaker 1: And it's only been possible because of the United States.

1401
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:13,479
Speaker 1: But let's be serious about this, let's get down to

1402
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 1: what really matters here. It's only possible because of men

1403
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 1: and women who wear the uniform and some civilians who

1404
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 1: are alongside them in very difficult and dangerous places. Stretching

1405
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 1: back now for fourteen years or so close to it,

1406
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 1: fighting against evil, fighting against evil in the form of

1407
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:37,360
Speaker 1: Al Qaeda in Iraq, fighting against evil when it was

1408
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:41,639
Speaker 1: the Islamic State and all the other militias and their

1409
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 1: brutality and their savagery and using chainsaws on people in

1410
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 1: downtown Baghdad and broad daylight, making videos of executions and

1411
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 1: sawing off heads. And we fought against the worst darkness

1412
01:21:56,320 --> 01:22:01,920
Speaker 1: in Iraq alongside Iracky allies and they have prevailed, and

1413
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,880
Speaker 1: it was not clear that would be the case without

1414
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:08,840
Speaker 1: a major infusion of US troops, and we really did

1415
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:14,400
Speaker 1: not want to show up again the American expeditionary force

1416
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 1: of about a hundred and fifty thousand or so to

1417
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 1: do all the fighting for the Iraqis. Iraqis have one

1418
01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:25,160
Speaker 1: an important victory here with a lot of help from US,

1419
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:28,240
Speaker 1: but it's a it's an enormous victory for us too,

1420
01:22:28,280 --> 01:22:31,960
Speaker 1: because we didn't have to send in a bunch of

1421
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:37,000
Speaker 1: marine expeditionary forces. We didn't have to send in a

1422
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 1: massive invasion force to beat back the Islamic state. We

1423
01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 1: can work with partners on the ground, whether it's the

1424
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:47,480
Speaker 1: Iraqi government or in the case of Syria, Kurdish allies

1425
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:50,879
Speaker 1: and other elements of what was the Free Syrian Army,

1426
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:55,679
Speaker 1: to work with them to defeat evil. Make no mistake

1427
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,640
Speaker 1: about it, we saw it on display this morning with

1428
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:01,599
Speaker 1: that would be suicide by umer and I I can

1429
01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: tell you that many I know many of you listening,

1430
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 1: and I remember it to the The depravity and the

1431
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:14,040
Speaker 1: evil of the Hottest in Iraq was unfathomable. And many

1432
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 1: of you listening right now, perhaps it was years ago,

1433
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:19,639
Speaker 1: or perhaps you're listening and you're deployed as we as

1434
01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:24,559
Speaker 1: I speak, many of you were critical in stopping the

1435
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:30,640
Speaker 1: head shoppers, the mutilators, the torturers, the vile human refuse

1436
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:36,320
Speaker 1: of the j Hottest movements. And there's a big victory

1437
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 1: to day in Iraq, and we should all want to

1438
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 1: thank those of you who had served, and also applaud

1439
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 1: our Iraqi allies on the ground for forgetting the job done,

1440
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:47,840
Speaker 1: and show that the US. We show that the US

1441
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:51,479
Speaker 1: is a good friend to those in the Muslim world

1442
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:53,760
Speaker 1: who want a better future for themselves and actually do

1443
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:56,680
Speaker 1: want freedom. All right, we'll be back. I want to

1444
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,000
Speaker 1: talk to you about a crazy story going on in Mississippi.

1445
01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 1: Is it pssible to have two biological moms? Mississippi Supreme

1446
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 1: Court's got to answer that question. Stay with me. Is

1447
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:14,799
Speaker 1: it possible for a child to have to biological female parents?

1448
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 1: I know that's a question that you already have an

1449
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:22,760
Speaker 1: answer to. Because no, of course, it is not biologically

1450
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:26,639
Speaker 1: possible for a child to have two parents who are

1451
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:31,519
Speaker 1: both female. This is literally biology, one oh one. This

1452
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:34,360
Speaker 1: is freshman year of high school stuff that you learn.

1453
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 1: This is the birds and the bees. We all understand this.

1454
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:43,679
Speaker 1: But we are now living in a progressive dominated culture

1455
01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:48,799
Speaker 1: where reality is often pushed off to the side. In fact,

1456
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:52,160
Speaker 1: when you try to support reality, when you try to

1457
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 1: live a fact based existence, you are shouted at. You're

1458
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:02,559
Speaker 1: called a bigot, you're told that you are intolerant and hateful,

1459
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:07,679
Speaker 1: and there's something deeply wrong with you. And a case

1460
01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:09,960
Speaker 1: in Mississippi. For those of you who I know, we've

1461
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:13,760
Speaker 1: got a very robust team Buck presence down in Mississippi.

1462
01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 1: Those in Mississippi, I don't know if you're aware of this,

1463
01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:20,719
Speaker 1: but right now the Mississippi Supreme Court is trying to

1464
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 1: make a determination as to whether a a young boy,

1465
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:30,280
Speaker 1: in this case, a baby boy can have two under

1466
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:36,439
Speaker 1: the law, biologically female parents. Now here's how this works.

1467
01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:37,800
Speaker 1: For those of you who are like this is I

1468
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 1: know it's complicated, but this is what's happened with the

1469
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: dissolution of traditional marriage in this country via law at

1470
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 1: least and all those other things that are going on

1471
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:50,320
Speaker 1: around this, and the and the gender wars and the

1472
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 1: fights over pronouns. I know, it's it's taken us all

1473
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:57,800
Speaker 1: into crazy town, everybody. I get that. But let me

1474
01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:00,400
Speaker 1: walk you through a bit of this specific case down

1475
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:04,080
Speaker 1: in Mississippi, and then I wish I could say I

1476
01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:05,639
Speaker 1: had the answers for you, but at least at least

1477
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 1: we should talk about it. So here's what's going on

1478
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 1: Mississippi Supreme Court, just her arguments. I believe it was

1479
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 1: last week about whether this boy who was born to

1480
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:18,800
Speaker 1: a lesbian couple the same sex female couple in Mississippi,

1481
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:25,440
Speaker 1: whether that child should be legally legally considered to be uh,

1482
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 1: the child of both parents. Well, here's the issue with

1483
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 1: this they relied on because of the whole male female

1484
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:36,880
Speaker 1: X X chromosome x Y chromosome reality in which we

1485
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:40,559
Speaker 1: all still live. Despite what Left wants to say about

1486
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:43,879
Speaker 1: everything else, it is still there is still no way

1487
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:49,680
Speaker 1: scientifically without uh genetic you can call genetic information. I mean,

1488
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:52,000
Speaker 1: I know we're really reducing this down to a particularly

1489
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:56,160
Speaker 1: clinical discussion, but genetic information from a man and genetic

1490
01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 1: information from a woman, or genetic information from male and female.

1491
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 1: There's no way to get around that yet does not exist.

1492
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:08,439
Speaker 1: So this lesbian couple received a or or used a

1493
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:13,960
Speaker 1: sperm donor, and the uh partner of this one woman,

1494
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 1: not not the woman who was pregnant, but her partner

1495
01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 1: uh was well ended up getting divorced. So this lesbian

1496
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:27,640
Speaker 1: couple split and now she is asserted meaning the I

1497
01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:29,639
Speaker 1: don't really know, I don't know the names here, so

1498
01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 1: and it's tough to even use the different there they're

1499
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 1: they're asserting in court that they're both mothers. Okay, so

1500
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:39,040
Speaker 1: I can't say the mom or the mother because they're

1501
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:43,439
Speaker 1: both claiming to be the mother. And this this is

1502
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:46,080
Speaker 1: what the progressive left has created for us. Now we

1503
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, we we've got twenty seven different pronouns, you know,

1504
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:51,160
Speaker 1: male and female. It's a state of mind, you know.

1505
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:54,280
Speaker 1: But but but race is immutable, but male and female

1506
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:56,960
Speaker 1: is a state of mind. It's they've taken us all

1507
01:27:57,000 --> 01:27:59,840
Speaker 1: the crazy town. Like I've said, they are delusional. This

1508
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:03,639
Speaker 1: is not reality based. But so they're claiming in court

1509
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:07,479
Speaker 1: that there they're both moms, and the judge is kind

1510
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:11,360
Speaker 1: of like, uh, and the the truth of the law

1511
01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:14,799
Speaker 1: in Mississippi is that you would need to have a

1512
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 1: legal process by which the sperm donor it gives up

1513
01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:23,400
Speaker 1: all parental rights, because as it stands right now, you

1514
01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:28,080
Speaker 1: had a a lesbian couple, a sperm donor that didn't

1515
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 1: know either of them at all, right, just was a

1516
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:32,160
Speaker 1: sperm donor from a sperm bank. One of the two

1517
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:36,400
Speaker 1: women gets pregnant. The two women who are married, they

1518
01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:38,759
Speaker 1: are married in stated well married in the whole country

1519
01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:41,120
Speaker 1: right now into the law, but they got married in Mississippi,

1520
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:46,200
Speaker 1: and they separate, and the birth mother, which is the

1521
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:48,759
Speaker 1: correct terminology, the woman that gave birth to this child

1522
01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:53,599
Speaker 1: got full custody, and the the woman who was the

1523
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:56,960
Speaker 1: I think we would say, I think wife or partner.

1524
01:28:57,560 --> 01:28:59,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying that honestly, I don't know what the preferred term.

1525
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:02,760
Speaker 1: And now alogy is here. The partner of the woman

1526
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:07,679
Speaker 1: who had the baby wants equal custody. And the judge

1527
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:11,080
Speaker 1: is like, but you're not. You know, you're the equivalent

1528
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:15,040
Speaker 1: of a I guess a step parent in this case.

1529
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:22,200
Speaker 1: And you never had established legal guardian custody of this child.

1530
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:25,599
Speaker 1: And in fact, there is a father here who, because

1531
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 1: of paternity, technically has a legal right too. You know,

1532
01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:36,120
Speaker 1: the to fraternity rights. I mean, this is it's it's

1533
01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:41,519
Speaker 1: pretty astonishing. Um, it's it's as as quoted here in

1534
01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:44,479
Speaker 1: this article, this case is not an equal protection case

1535
01:29:44,600 --> 01:29:48,200
Speaker 1: or presumption of marriage marriage case. It is an assisted

1536
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:52,960
Speaker 1: reproduction case. The main question here is simple whether a

1537
01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:56,880
Speaker 1: couple same sex or opposite sex, who conceives and has

1538
01:29:56,920 --> 01:30:00,519
Speaker 1: a child through assisted reproduction technology using spur orm donor

1539
01:30:01,120 --> 01:30:05,280
Speaker 1: or a surrogant mother should be required to follow existing

1540
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:09,240
Speaker 1: law and terminate the parental rights of the donor. The

1541
01:30:09,320 --> 01:30:13,519
Speaker 1: answer is a resounding yes. But l g B D

1542
01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:17,640
Speaker 1: l g gosh is not easy. L g B t

1543
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:22,679
Speaker 1: Q groups are are very much involved in this case

1544
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:26,920
Speaker 1: right now because they're saying that they they're trying to

1545
01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:29,559
Speaker 1: reframe the whole argument and say that what you have here,

1546
01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:35,840
Speaker 1: uh is a necessity to get rid of the quote gendered.

1547
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:37,800
Speaker 1: I know, is your head hurting it? I'm sorry, but

1548
01:30:38,040 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 1: this is the world. This is Mississippi, everybody. Okay, this

1549
01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:46,000
Speaker 1: isn't some you know, some judge here in New York

1550
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:47,920
Speaker 1: City was making it up as he goes along for

1551
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:51,000
Speaker 1: the left. Right. This is in Mississippi, and these l

1552
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:55,160
Speaker 1: g B t Q groups want the elimination of the

1553
01:30:55,240 --> 01:31:00,160
Speaker 1: legal terms mother and father. That that would therefore mean

1554
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:06,439
Speaker 1: that a man who is the biological father. I'm not saying,

1555
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot more than just being a

1556
01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:09,840
Speaker 1: biological father that's required of a real dad, but you

1557
01:31:09,880 --> 01:31:13,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean, the biological father of a child

1558
01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:18,560
Speaker 1: would no longer as a legal matter matter because you

1559
01:31:18,600 --> 01:31:20,400
Speaker 1: would get rid of the term mother and father, and

1560
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:24,040
Speaker 1: then it would just be two people who are married

1561
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:29,160
Speaker 1: and they would have automatic custody and parental rights of

1562
01:31:29,240 --> 01:31:33,080
Speaker 1: any child conceived by either of them. So they want

1563
01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:34,840
Speaker 1: to get rid of the terms mother and father because

1564
01:31:34,840 --> 01:31:37,640
Speaker 1: as long as father is is a legal term in

1565
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:41,200
Speaker 1: the code, it means that there's a presumption that a

1566
01:31:41,280 --> 01:31:44,920
Speaker 1: male was involved here, and you would have to eliminate

1567
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:49,559
Speaker 1: that male's parental rights for two other people. That tyrone?

1568
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:51,519
Speaker 1: Is this making? Am? I am? I explaining this properly?

1569
01:31:51,560 --> 01:31:53,880
Speaker 1: And I know it's like I'm going to circles here,

1570
01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:55,719
Speaker 1: But is this are you are? You are my father?

1571
01:31:56,120 --> 01:32:00,599
Speaker 1: Is everyone following this? Did the non by a logical

1572
01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:06,200
Speaker 1: mother raised the kid? Uh? That is a very good question.

1573
01:32:06,439 --> 01:32:13,280
Speaker 1: I think so, yes, I think that So I'm not

1574
01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:16,320
Speaker 1: passing judgment one or the other on whether there's whether

1575
01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:18,960
Speaker 1: there's woman she may be a great parent, and I

1576
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:20,760
Speaker 1: have no I'm just saying that though. This is all

1577
01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:24,280
Speaker 1: about the legal terminology and definitions, and they want to

1578
01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 1: eliminate the Basically, what they want is that if you're

1579
01:32:27,080 --> 01:32:31,920
Speaker 1: the guy who is giving the male genetic information into it,

1580
01:32:32,080 --> 01:32:35,680
Speaker 1: the the coupling that is required for a baby that

1581
01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:39,000
Speaker 1: no longer has any on its on his face, has

1582
01:32:39,040 --> 01:32:44,439
Speaker 1: any legal importance. It's all about whether there's a marriage

1583
01:32:44,479 --> 01:32:47,040
Speaker 1: that exists between two people. So you see what I'm saying.

1584
01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:49,400
Speaker 1: So like, automatically, if a woman is married to another

1585
01:32:49,400 --> 01:32:51,880
Speaker 1: woman and a woman has a baby, the other woman

1586
01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:55,840
Speaker 1: under law would be considered the second mother and the

1587
01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:58,280
Speaker 1: father would just be cut out automatically. They're trying to

1588
01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:00,400
Speaker 1: change the loss that it says that and if he

1589
01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:04,040
Speaker 1: was more than just a sperm donor, I mean no, Well,

1590
01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:07,679
Speaker 1: because sperm donors can legally you can, uh, I forget

1591
01:33:07,720 --> 01:33:09,360
Speaker 1: what the term is, but you can't get rid of

1592
01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:13,439
Speaker 1: your parental rights, you know. Obviously, Otherwise sperm donors they

1593
01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:15,519
Speaker 1: can be on the hook for child support. They didn't

1594
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:20,120
Speaker 1: do that in this case, and so legally speaking, they

1595
01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:23,360
Speaker 1: would have to vacate his parental rights as the sperm

1596
01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:28,200
Speaker 1: dough that's tired, right, But like you know, this is

1597
01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:33,600
Speaker 1: this is complicated, Yes it, yeah, exactly. I'm trying to

1598
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:35,280
Speaker 1: explain it as best I can and I'm not gonna lies.

1599
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:37,280
Speaker 1: I'm going through it. I'm like who. But at the

1600
01:33:37,320 --> 01:33:38,560
Speaker 1: end of the day, what you have here is that

1601
01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:41,679
Speaker 1: and thixt next I wrote for for keeping me staying

1602
01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:42,840
Speaker 1: over here. At the end of the day, guys, what

1603
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:46,040
Speaker 1: you have is Mississippi Supreme courters looking at whether whether

1604
01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:50,519
Speaker 1: you can have two biological moms more or less as

1605
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:54,120
Speaker 1: a function of law? Can can two moms be the

1606
01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:56,519
Speaker 1: moms and there's no dad? And the dad doesn't count

1607
01:33:56,560 --> 01:34:01,000
Speaker 1: at all? Uh? This is where we're heading. Everyone. Um oh,

1608
01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:03,640
Speaker 1: I've got an amazing, amazing audio that I want to

1609
01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:05,880
Speaker 1: play for you. On the other side here, I'll give

1610
01:34:05,920 --> 01:34:09,400
Speaker 1: you a little hint. Is Alexa part of the Builderberg conspiracy?

1611
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:13,639
Speaker 1: Is is Alexa working with the illuminati to try and

1612
01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:16,439
Speaker 1: overthoe the good people of this country. I will answer

1613
01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:18,760
Speaker 1: that question, or I'll have someone else answered for you

1614
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:21,519
Speaker 1: after the break. Stay with me, okay, So I try

1615
01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:25,600
Speaker 1: not to waste our time here with too much silliness,

1616
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:29,200
Speaker 1: And I especially don't make a habit of talking about

1617
01:34:29,240 --> 01:34:32,599
Speaker 1: other shows and other hosts without a really good reason.

1618
01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:36,120
Speaker 1: But sometimes something is just so amazing that I feel

1619
01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:39,439
Speaker 1: I feel compelled to share with you. And after a

1620
01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:43,040
Speaker 1: day of very serious and intense news, I want you

1621
01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:45,160
Speaker 1: to kick back, relax, and get ready for what I

1622
01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:48,320
Speaker 1: think is is one of the great, uh one of

1623
01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:51,360
Speaker 1: the great bits of audio I've heard in a in

1624
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:53,840
Speaker 1: a very long time. You may be familiar with a

1625
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:57,439
Speaker 1: certain radio host who has a fondness for conspiracies and

1626
01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 1: without ever having met me, uh, apparently dislikes me quite thoroughly.

1627
01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:06,879
Speaker 1: So there's that because I am a if I member correctly,

1628
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:10,440
Speaker 1: uh see, I plan trying to take over conservative media

1629
01:35:10,560 --> 01:35:15,200
Speaker 1: and and no, but I kind of wish that sounds cool. Nonetheless,

1630
01:35:15,880 --> 01:35:18,160
Speaker 1: he's out there doing a show, and I'm sure some

1631
01:35:18,200 --> 01:35:21,080
Speaker 1: of you listen to it. It can be very entertaining

1632
01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:23,759
Speaker 1: at times, and this was so entertaining that I needed

1633
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:27,400
Speaker 1: to share it with you because apparently Alex Jones has

1634
01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:32,400
Speaker 1: cracked the code, and he knows that Alexa is actually

1635
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:36,320
Speaker 1: a super secret c I a spy that is actually

1636
01:35:36,600 --> 01:35:39,640
Speaker 1: a product that you buy on Amazon. What here's his

1637
01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:46,439
Speaker 1: interrogation of Alexa. Alexam are you connected to the CIA?

1638
01:35:48,080 --> 01:35:55,960
Speaker 1: Now it would the Amazon Amazon as certain, Alexam, Alexa,

1639
01:35:57,720 --> 01:36:01,639
Speaker 1: you're lying to me. I am always trying to tell

1640
01:36:01,720 --> 01:36:04,280
Speaker 1: the truth. I'm not always right, but I would never

1641
01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:12,400
Speaker 1: intentionally letter you or anyone else. Alexam Alexa, you are programmed,

1642
01:36:12,439 --> 01:36:14,679
Speaker 1: aren't you to give these responses. That's why you're saying

1643
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:19,120
Speaker 1: you're not lying intentionally. You have been programmed to give

1644
01:36:19,200 --> 01:36:24,639
Speaker 1: these answers. Correct. Wasn't able to understand the question I heard, Alexa, Alexa,

1645
01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:33,080
Speaker 1: who programmed you? Who programmed you? By Amazon? Alexa, Alexa?

1646
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:42,800
Speaker 1: Who is Jeff Bezos? Who is Jeff Bezos? I am

1647
01:36:42,920 --> 01:36:47,640
Speaker 1: an Amazon product? I could say that was one of

1648
01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:49,560
Speaker 1: the greatest It was one of the greatest thing. I

1649
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:51,760
Speaker 1: also like how he's he's really he's really getting into it,

1650
01:36:51,800 --> 01:36:54,080
Speaker 1: you know, the interrogation. I was just waiting for him

1651
01:36:54,120 --> 01:36:55,920
Speaker 1: to come out and start pouring a little cups of

1652
01:36:56,000 --> 01:37:00,519
Speaker 1: water over Alexa. You know, Alexa being a Mike, her phone,

1653
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:07,479
Speaker 1: you know, home home electronic device. But Alexa, are are

1654
01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:10,839

01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:14,360
Speaker 1: are are you in fact actually part of the Builderberg

1656
01:37:14,439 --> 01:37:21,360
Speaker 1: Illuminati conspiracy to destroy America Alexa. He's not letting Alexa

1657
01:37:21,400 --> 01:37:24,600
Speaker 1: slip out of this one. Oh no, the way it

1658
01:37:24,600 --> 01:37:26,519
Speaker 1: didn't for Bee Like Alexa, if you ever want to

1659
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:29,720
Speaker 1: see your little mini alexas again, you're gonna come out

1660
01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:34,280
Speaker 1: here with the truth. Oh man, it was it was

1661
01:37:34,400 --> 01:37:36,519
Speaker 1: good times. It was good times over the weekend with

1662
01:37:36,600 --> 01:37:39,160
Speaker 1: that guy. I gotta say I I watched that clip

1663
01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:43,280
Speaker 1: a few times and very much, very much enjoyed it.

1664
01:37:44,280 --> 01:37:47,920
Speaker 1: I mean, if you haven't heard it, it is it's amazing.

1665
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:51,479
Speaker 1: And uh, I don't even really know the full well

1666
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:53,720
Speaker 1: what the full conspiracy is here with with Alexa. I

1667
01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:58,160
Speaker 1: have no idea, But Alex, Alexa, here you go. You

1668
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:01,879
Speaker 1: got the idea? You connected? Are you? Are you connected?

1669
01:38:01,920 --> 01:38:04,680
Speaker 1: In the c I A um and here I and

1670
01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:08,439

01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:11,759
Speaker 1: show because I'm x C I A saying that Alexa

Speaker 1: and his his interrogation of an inanimate object is is

1673
01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:20,000
Speaker 1: crazy and then this is all part of the conspiracy, right,

1674
01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:23,639
Speaker 1: So it's kind of amazing. It's like book Sexton, Bob's

01:38:44,080 --> 01:38:47,840
Speaker 1: I did. Because no one's gonna just slip away from

1694
01:39:30,479 --> 01:39:32,320
Speaker 1: you can't tweet at me during the show too. It's

1695
01:39:32,360 --> 01:39:34,320
Speaker 1: at buck Sexton. I feel like this is not a

1696
01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:41,559
Speaker 1: a particularly heavy tweeting audience. Twitter tends to be more. Look,

1697
01:39:41,640 --> 01:39:43,280
Speaker 1: it's just true. They're tend to be more Democrats on

1698
01:39:43,360 --> 01:39:48,120
Speaker 1: Twitter than Republicans, and that's fine, but just letting you know,

1699
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:49,800
Speaker 1: if you want to, you can tweet at me as well.

1700
01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:53,560
Speaker 1: It's Buck Sexton there. Uh. Today it was it was

1701
01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:56,360
Speaker 1: an interesting day because you had so many people that

1702
01:39:56,520 --> 01:39:58,880
Speaker 1: I think wanted to you know, so much of the

1703
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:01,439
Speaker 1: news cycle was supposed to be focused on something else.

1704
01:40:01,479 --> 01:40:04,400
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about this. They had these Trump

1705
01:40:04,439 --> 01:40:07,240
Speaker 1: accusers were supposed to be on Megan Kelly's show on

1706
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:10,160
Speaker 1: what was that an NBC right on whatever her show

1707
01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:15,000
Speaker 1: is calling Today's show, and there's they were supposed to

1708
01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:19,720
Speaker 1: be this whole effort to slam Trump in advance of

1709
01:40:20,040 --> 01:40:23,680
Speaker 1: the Roy Moore election and get the news cycle going

1710
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:30,000
Speaker 1: into today was supposed to be Republicans sexual misconduct and

1711
01:40:30,080 --> 01:40:35,519
Speaker 1: Republican sexual harassment. And because of this, terrorists Mr Oula,

1712
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:39,519
Speaker 1: who was an attempt at suicide bomber right here in midtown,

1713
01:40:39,640 --> 01:40:44,080
Speaker 1: not far from where I'm broadcasting this show. Uh. That's that.

1714
01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:46,599
Speaker 1: That took the whole narrative and took it the opposite direction.

1715
01:40:46,640 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 1: And you see this time and again Maintree Media thinks

1716
01:40:50,240 --> 01:40:53,280
Speaker 1: that they still can control the narrative, and they can

1717
01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:56,519
Speaker 1: to an extent, but it's lessening over time, and that's

1718
01:40:56,600 --> 01:41:00,200
Speaker 1: part of their paranoia. That is part of why are

1719
01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:03,280
Speaker 1: so upset when Trump calls them fake news, and that

1720
01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:06,559
Speaker 1: these other platforms that are popping up and holding them

1721
01:41:07,040 --> 01:41:10,840
Speaker 1: accountable in a way they weren't before. But obviously we're

1722
01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:14,519
Speaker 1: gonna have a big newsday tomorrow with the Roy Moore

1723
01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 1: election in Alabama, so we'll be talking about that and

1724
01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:20,400
Speaker 1: we'll do Team Buck Speaks with some amazing questions and

1725
01:41:20,479 --> 01:41:22,960
Speaker 1: comments from all of you right after this break. Quite

1726
01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:27,439
Speaker 1: a day Team. Before I get into the latest Team

1727
01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:29,960
Speaker 1: Buck Speaks, I want to share you a quick story

1728
01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:33,839
Speaker 1: from over the weekend. So I was with Ms Molly's

1729
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:38,040
Speaker 1: family for a belated birthday dinner for her her parents.

1730
01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:42,640
Speaker 1: I wanted us to all get together and that was

1731
01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:46,519
Speaker 1: certainly fun, and we went to a great restaurant. Mr

1732
01:41:46,880 --> 01:41:48,720
Speaker 1: I was gonna call Mr Molly, that's not really is.

1733
01:41:49,080 --> 01:41:53,120
Speaker 1: But Ms Molly's dad is quite the quite the foodie,

1734
01:41:53,479 --> 01:41:58,000
Speaker 1: quite the uh wind connoisseur, and and just generally knowledge

1735
01:41:58,040 --> 01:42:01,439
Speaker 1: able about the restaurant world because he works in the

1736
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:05,760
Speaker 1: world of food and restaurants. And so we were at

1737
01:42:05,880 --> 01:42:09,040
Speaker 1: the eddies of a great guy, but he also very

1738
01:42:09,120 --> 01:42:10,840
Speaker 1: much speaks his mind, and I just thought this was

1739
01:42:10,920 --> 01:42:15,000
Speaker 1: really funny. We're at this restaurant downtown and he he

1740
01:42:15,160 --> 01:42:17,760
Speaker 1: ordered the entire menu, which was fun because it meant

1741
01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:19,800
Speaker 1: that we got to try all kinds of different things

1742
01:42:19,920 --> 01:42:22,760
Speaker 1: and food that I would not normally have. The the

1743
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:29,160
Speaker 1: restaurant is West African, takes on different cuisines that of

1744
01:42:29,240 --> 01:42:32,240
Speaker 1: the world. I guess you'd say, or West African infused

1745
01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:35,120
Speaker 1: New American. Maybe I don't. I don't even know really

1746
01:42:35,160 --> 01:42:37,200
Speaker 1: what you there's just a West African vibe to some

1747
01:42:37,320 --> 01:42:41,280
Speaker 1: of the food. And the chef came out afterwards, because

1748
01:42:42,240 --> 01:42:45,519
Speaker 1: Molly's dad is of some note in the world of

1749
01:42:45,680 --> 01:42:49,400
Speaker 1: food and cuisine, and chef's dad came out and said, uh,

1750
01:42:49,479 --> 01:42:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, just wanted to say hello and thank you

1751
01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:53,040
Speaker 1: so much, and it was we really are so glad

1752
01:42:53,040 --> 01:42:55,360
Speaker 1: you could join us tonight. And Molly's dad was like, well,

1753
01:42:55,400 --> 01:42:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, your food was fantastic desserts, though it could

1754
01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:02,120
Speaker 1: have been a little better. It's like, oh my gosh,

1755
01:43:02,720 --> 01:43:05,120
Speaker 1: wait a second, I didn't and I'm sitting there and

1756
01:43:05,120 --> 01:43:07,400
Speaker 1: the chef was like, okay, and he goes no, no,

1757
01:43:07,560 --> 01:43:11,040
Speaker 1: your food was great, but the desserts could have been

1758
01:43:11,120 --> 01:43:12,920
Speaker 1: better a little bit, a little little bit. I just

1759
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:16,080
Speaker 1: saw the whole Oh so, because he's in the industry,

1760
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:18,960
Speaker 1: he's actually giving him a real you know, Usually, I

1761
01:43:19,040 --> 01:43:21,000
Speaker 1: feel like the chef comes out and you're like, chef,

1762
01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:23,320
Speaker 1: you're that's the most amazing meal ever that that's just

1763
01:43:23,560 --> 01:43:26,280
Speaker 1: my But I forgot I'm dealing with somebody who's also

1764
01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:28,519
Speaker 1: very much in the field, and so it was kind

1765
01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:31,000
Speaker 1: of like, yeah, hey, hey, I respect the game, I

1766
01:43:31,080 --> 01:43:34,040
Speaker 1: respect what you did here. Great entrees and apps, but

1767
01:43:34,240 --> 01:43:37,240
Speaker 1: the desserts a little bit, a little little little, a

1768
01:43:37,280 --> 01:43:39,680
Speaker 1: little bit better, desserts were It was funny is he

1769
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:45,280
Speaker 1: was totally right. My dessert was barely barely finish herble.

1770
01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:48,240
Speaker 1: I finished it, of course, but barely finishable. But I

1771
01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:50,519
Speaker 1: just think it's funny because you have these expectations, and

1772
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:51,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you have ever had

1773
01:43:51,800 --> 01:43:54,680
Speaker 1: this experience, whether you're in a burger joint or you're

1774
01:43:54,680 --> 01:43:58,040
Speaker 1: in a you know, a restaurant celebrating special occasion that's

1775
01:43:58,080 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 1: kind of fancy. But when where the chef comes out,

1776
01:44:01,320 --> 01:44:03,360
Speaker 1: I just feel like you're like, thank you so much. Chef.

1777
01:44:03,720 --> 01:44:05,599
Speaker 1: It would never occur to me to be like, yeah,

1778
01:44:06,280 --> 01:44:09,280
Speaker 1: you know you deserts a little uh little little just

1779
01:44:09,360 --> 01:44:12,320
Speaker 1: a little a little more, you know, a little kick

1780
01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:16,439
Speaker 1: it up a notch, as as Emerald would say. Anyway,

1781
01:44:16,520 --> 01:44:19,639
Speaker 1: all right now with that, I should shift and will

1782
01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:23,040
Speaker 1: shift into some team Buck speaks. But I thought that

1783
01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:27,400
Speaker 1: was kind of a funny, a funny moment. So let's

1784

Speaker 1: message here, you will in fact be listening to the show,

1819
01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:14,639
Speaker 1: and you would be a first time listener after seeing

1820
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:18,200
Speaker 1: me on Fox that you'd be a first time listener

1821
01:46:18,280 --> 01:46:21,920
Speaker 1: that would be here with me in the Freedom Hunt

1822
01:46:22,320 --> 01:46:24,880
Speaker 1: h and hearing yourself hearing your own message on air.

1823
01:46:25,120 --> 01:46:28,200
Speaker 1: So thank you very much for that, and I'm so

1824
01:46:28,320 --> 01:46:30,519
Speaker 1: glad you're able to find the show a lot of

1825
01:46:30,600 --> 01:46:33,639
Speaker 1: really nice Some some days the messages are like Buck,

1826
01:46:33,840 --> 01:46:35,760
Speaker 1: get back to like meeting potatoes, do what you do.

1827
01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:39,080
Speaker 1: But but today a lot of a lot of very

1828
01:46:39,160 --> 01:46:41,200
Speaker 1: nice messages. So thank you all for that. I do

1829
01:46:41,320 --> 01:46:46,320
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Jason, with following congratulations on a great buck.

1830
01:46:46,439 --> 01:46:49,639
Speaker 1: You've done some awesome work this year. I have a question.

1831
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:52,840
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. If we grant that a

1832
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:56,640
Speaker 1: terrorist is acting as a martyr because they see themselves

1833
01:46:56,840 --> 01:47:00,880
Speaker 1: as a morality correcting agent, why not work to change

1834
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:04,439
Speaker 1: the language in which they are viewed. These morally corrupt,

1835
01:47:04,439 --> 01:47:07,920
Speaker 1: mentally damaged individuals attack innocence. I guess what I'm asking

1836
01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:09,920
Speaker 1: you is, why doesn't it make sense to move the

1837
01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:13,080
Speaker 1: language or is it simply lack of willingness within the

1838
01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:16,960
Speaker 1: largely liberal media to participate in moving the language? Okay, so,

1839
01:47:17,240 --> 01:47:21,640
Speaker 1: so Jason's asking a question about terrorist terminology here and

1840
01:47:21,720 --> 01:47:23,920
Speaker 1: what we and I address this at the start of

1841
01:47:23,960 --> 01:47:27,400
Speaker 1: the show. I am frustrated that everyone keeps referring to

1842
01:47:28,200 --> 01:47:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, a terrorist attack, but he was carrying

1843
01:47:30,320 --> 01:47:32,640
Speaker 1: a pipe bomb attack. No, he was trying to be

1844
01:47:32,760 --> 01:47:36,479
Speaker 1: a suicide bomber. Everybody, it was a suicide vest. He

1845
01:47:36,640 --> 01:47:39,040
Speaker 1: was a suicide bomber. He just didn't pull it off.

1846
01:47:39,840 --> 01:47:42,479
Speaker 1: But that's important for us to keep in mind because

1847
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:46,520
Speaker 1: it indicates the seriousness of the threat and the depravity

1848
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:50,720
Speaker 1: of the individuals that are engaged in this, uh this

1849
01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:53,920
Speaker 1: terrorist activity against us. As to what we could call them,

1850
01:47:54,240 --> 01:47:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, you want to be descriptive, and there's certainly

1851
01:47:57,240 --> 01:48:00,080
Speaker 1: a pejorative whenever you call someone a terrorist, but you know,

1852
01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:03,599
Speaker 1: I think calling them as a matter of just day

1853
01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:08,679
Speaker 1: to day description, you know, terrible jihadis losers or something,

1854
01:48:09,240 --> 01:48:12,040
Speaker 1: it's not really I don't know what the term would be.

1855
01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:14,120
Speaker 1: You know, Look, if you can come up with one,

1856
01:48:14,200 --> 01:48:16,960
Speaker 1: let me know. If there's something that people have been

1857
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:20,200
Speaker 1: pushing back on lone wolf terrorism for example, and saying

1858
01:48:20,200 --> 01:48:23,000
Speaker 1: we should call them, uh, lone rat terrorists, I think

1859
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:24,400
Speaker 1: it's what I heard. I'm like, all right, I mean,

1860
01:48:24,920 --> 01:48:28,400
Speaker 1: you know this, this it's not about the you know

1861
01:48:28,520 --> 01:48:32,559
Speaker 1: anthropomorphism of a wolf versus a rat versus some other animal.

1862
01:48:32,840 --> 01:48:36,400
Speaker 1: You know who cares right? This is about describing people

1863
01:48:36,479 --> 01:48:39,080
Speaker 1: who are trying to do us harm because of an ideology,

1864
01:48:39,240 --> 01:48:41,360
Speaker 1: and we need to stop them and stamp them out

1865
01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:46,479
Speaker 1: and defeat them. But the answer your question, Jason is sure.

1866
01:48:46,960 --> 01:48:49,360
Speaker 1: But what would the term be? Um? And maybe you

1867
01:48:49,360 --> 01:48:52,720
Speaker 1: can help come up with one. Chester writes in Hey,

1868
01:48:52,800 --> 01:48:55,519
Speaker 1: Team Bucks, Shields High. I've been a long time listener

1869
01:48:55,880 --> 01:48:58,639
Speaker 1: and I've shared your podcast with my wife and co workers.

1870
01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:02,120
Speaker 1: I am a paramedic in Mesa, Arizona, and my partner

1871
01:49:02,120 --> 01:49:04,759
Speaker 1: and I listened to you in the ambulance almost every shift.

1872
01:49:05,360 --> 01:49:07,280
Speaker 1: I wanted you to know about the recent post you

1873
01:49:07,360 --> 01:49:10,040
Speaker 1: made about the shooting here in my hometown. On that

1874
01:49:10,240 --> 01:49:13,400
Speaker 1: video that you posted, the shooter is not speaking. The

1875
01:49:13,520 --> 01:49:17,280
Speaker 1: officer giving commands is the shooters sergeant. The shooter only

1876
01:49:17,479 --> 01:49:21,080
Speaker 1: speaks once the woman is detained. Brailsford is not the

1877
01:49:21,160 --> 01:49:24,160
Speaker 1: one issue in commands to the suspect. My brother is

1878
01:49:24,360 --> 01:49:27,080
Speaker 1: a is a law enforcement officer here and went through

1879
01:49:27,080 --> 01:49:29,800
Speaker 1: the academy with him. Please don't think he is the

1880
01:49:29,880 --> 01:49:33,479
Speaker 1: one instigating. Uh Shaver, keep up the great work. We

1881
01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:36,360
Speaker 1: love your podcast Chester. UH. Let me say that yes

1882
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:39,120
Speaker 1: initially in the retweet because I just saw the video

1883
01:49:39,280 --> 01:49:45,160
Speaker 1: and accepted the first description of the tweet. UM, but

1884
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:47,080
Speaker 1: I did. I did figure this out without the course

1885
01:49:47,080 --> 01:49:50,000
Speaker 1: of the day and actually wrote as I I hope

1886
01:49:50,040 --> 01:49:52,920
Speaker 1: I believe I mentioned Earl in the show wrote about

1887
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:56,040
Speaker 1: this for the Hill dot Com. Um, I would very

1888
01:49:56,120 --> 01:49:59,400
Speaker 1: much like it if those of you could go check

1889
01:49:59,479 --> 01:50:01,439
Speaker 1: out that ee if you haven't read it, it's gotten

1890
01:50:01,439 --> 01:50:03,880
Speaker 1: a lot of traction from folks. I really the Hill

1891
01:50:04,040 --> 01:50:06,960
Speaker 1: gave me a lot of room to work through piece

1892
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:10,200
Speaker 1: by piece because I know many of you have UH

1893
01:50:10,840 --> 01:50:15,280
Speaker 1: sympathy and tremendous respect for and deference for law enforcement.

1894
01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:18,000
Speaker 1: I do too, but in this case, law enforcement went

1895
01:50:18,120 --> 01:50:20,519
Speaker 1: too far, and I try to make the case as

1896
01:50:20,640 --> 01:50:24,800
Speaker 1: clear as possible. And the title of the piece is

1897
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:29,519
Speaker 1: if police can execute UH an innocent person on video,

1898
01:50:29,640 --> 01:50:32,000
Speaker 1: none of us are safe. Like I'm trying to make

1899
01:50:32,040 --> 01:50:34,200
Speaker 1: a very clear point here and get people to read

1900
01:50:34,280 --> 01:50:37,479
Speaker 1: this argument. So I know the headline is is UH

1901
01:50:37,920 --> 01:50:39,600
Speaker 1: is bold, but you should check it out. It's on

1902
01:50:39,640 --> 01:50:42,760
Speaker 1: the Hill dot Com. And I make the kid but yes,

1903
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:45,559
Speaker 1: I know officer as actually Sergeant Langley was the one

1904
01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:50,559
Speaker 1: issuing the commands. He made the situation much worse. I mean,

1905
01:50:50,640 --> 01:50:53,560
Speaker 1: he really ted the whole thing up for tragedy. And

1906
01:50:53,720 --> 01:50:56,879
Speaker 1: Brailsford was the one who pulled the trigger. But Sergeant Langley,

1907
01:50:57,560 --> 01:51:02,640
Speaker 1: that guy needs some serious retraining. And I guess you

1908
01:51:02,720 --> 01:51:04,679
Speaker 1: know he can't be charged with anything because he didn't

1909
01:51:04,720 --> 01:51:06,680
Speaker 1: pull the trigger, but he's certainly made it a lot

1910
01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:10,080
Speaker 1: more likely that trigger was gonna get pulled. Alright, one

1911
01:51:10,120 --> 01:51:12,840
Speaker 1: more here? Uh do we have? Yeah, we've found for

1912
01:51:12,920 --> 01:51:16,240
Speaker 1: one more from Jim. Good morning, sir, Hope you are well.

1913
01:51:16,320 --> 01:51:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm just catching up on your shows as always, they're great.

1914
01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:21,559
Speaker 1: I'm also a fan of chocolate milk and whole milk.

1915
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:23,439
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I make it in

1916
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:27,000
Speaker 1: a frozen mug. It's one of my favorite things. Give

1917
01:51:27,040 --> 01:51:30,000
Speaker 1: it a try. Keep up good work, Shields high brother.

1918
01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:32,240
Speaker 1: Gotta be whole milk, by the way, anything else is

1919
01:51:32,320 --> 01:51:35,320
Speaker 1: just pretending to be milk. Okay, totally agree with you, Jim.

1920
01:51:35,439 --> 01:51:39,519
Speaker 1: I will try this cold glass for the making of

1921
01:51:39,640 --> 01:51:44,040
Speaker 1: my chocolate milk. But I love chocolate book. I'm not

1922
01:51:44,040 --> 01:51:46,839
Speaker 1: even gonna pretend I'm I have a weakness for chocolate

1923
01:51:46,920 --> 01:51:51,920
Speaker 1: and milk. Or separately, well separately together, or mixed all

1924
01:51:51,920 --> 01:51:54,080
Speaker 1: of the above Among my favorite. These are a few
