1
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Ilhan omar Veto and

2
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: AOC seem to not really like America very much. This

3
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: is an increasing theme among Democrats these days. We'll talk

4
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: about that lost more updates on the Epstein case. It

5
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: is increasingly chilling to find out the details. How far

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: up does the cover up go? Plus, our friends Molly

7
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: Hemingway and Carrie Severino join to talk about their number

8
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: one smash book on the fight to get Kavanaugh confirmed.

9
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: That and more coming up on The Buck Sexton Show.

10
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: Bucks Sexton Mission, Decoding the news and disseminating information with

11
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're a great American Again.

12
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: This is the Bucks Sexton Show. Thomas, I can speak

13
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: for three hours without a phone call. Try doing that.

14
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: Some kind it is about back then, No, And so

15
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: it is not that they might not be knowledgeable about this,

16
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: but they use it as a as a tool to

17
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: steer up hate and division and ignorance really is pervasive

18
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: in many parts of this country. And as someone who

19
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: was raised by educators, I really like to inform people

20
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: about about things that they might be ignorant too, willingly

21
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: or unwillingly. Here we are in Nashville. I know this

22
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: from my home state of Texas, those places that formed

23
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: the Confederacy, that this country was founded on white supremacy,

24
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: and every single institution and structure that we have in

25
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: our country still reflects the legacy of slavery and segregation

26
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: in Jim Crowe and suppression even in our democracy, the

27
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: ability to vote and participate in our elections. Welcome to

28
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton show. You hear from some big Democrats there?

29
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: What do they think of America? Ilhan Omar immigrant to

30
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: this country, by the way, that is, she thinks that

31
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: ignorance is pervasive in this country. Huh okay. I wonder

32
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: if she would say that ignorance is pervasive in other countries.

33
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm just curious. Is ignorance pervasive in Somalia? Would we

34
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: would we hear ilhan Omar say that? Or is that that?

35
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: That's mean, that's a bad thing to say. Only say

36
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: it about America. Where else is ignorance pervasive? I'll notice

37
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: that the left will say things about this country they

38
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: would never say about other countries, other countries that could

39
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: learn a whole heck of a lot from the United States.

40
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: Oh and then there's Petto who's like still running for

41
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: president unlike really just like wants your vote so bodily,

42
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: and it's just like white supremacy is infused in like

43
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: all of like everything always and even though I'm a

44
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: rich white guy and like the media loves me, like

45
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: I swear, I understand the struggle. Bro. These are the Democrats, folks.

46
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: This is your modern democratic party finding ways to trash

47
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: this country as a means of stirring up presentment, animosity patriots,

48
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: even because it benefits them politically to do so. Beato

49
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: saying this country was founded on white supremacy. I wish

50
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: you would go back and read the full speech, not

51
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: just the section of it that Colin Kaepernick tweeted out

52
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: a few days back about how America was doing terrible,

53
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: terrible things right. Frederick Douglas was, in fact in that

54
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: speech referring to the bad things some Americans were doing

55
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: as a betrayal of the greatness of this country, that

56
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: slavery and slaveholders were betraying the ideology of the Founding

57
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: and the founders, that individual human liberty had to be

58
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: realized because that was the true goal of the Founding,

59
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: and that the inability to reach that stage was an

60
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: insufficient recognition of what it was, that the brilliance of

61
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: the founders and their own promise to this country. But

62
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: that's too pro American, I guess to look at the

63
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: words of Frederick Douglas and see what they really were

64
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: that to an ill hunt Omar and others would rather

65
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: find ways to trash this country. They think that this

66
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: is what they're base, and it is apparently what their

67
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: base wants to hear about all the terrible things America

68
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: has done the past. You know, you find me a

69
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: country that has ever had any power, and I'll find

70
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: you a country that has engaged in all kinds of

71
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: reprehensible behavior in its past. You know, find me. You know,

72
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: whether we're talking about the entirety of the Mediterranean basin,

73
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: just just give me the time period, give me the year.

74
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: This is. This is a ridiculous exercise in virtue signaling.

75
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: But it's more than that too. It's shaping narratives of

76
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: the past in order to transfer power today. I know

77
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: Tucker last night on his show, he had some harsh

78
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: I think, very very astute, but harsh words for Ilhan Omar.

79
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: Rightly so. But the Democrats do seem to embrace this logic,

80
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: this theory that other countries only produce great people, awesome people,

81
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: that everyone who comes to this country from another country

82
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: is better than the Americans who are already here seems

83
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: quite strange to me. Why everyone wants to get here

84
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: so badly, even though we operate concentration camps and we're

85
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: soaked in racism, and we, you know, the entire left

86
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: wing ideal, the left wing vision, or maybe even we

87
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: should just say view, because it's current day, not even

88
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: necessarily the future, the left wing view of America is

89
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: not what is recognizable to you or me. I'm here

90
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: in the swamp, I'm in Washington, d C. I walk

91
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: around the people of all different ethnicities, all different backgrounds.

92
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: You know, people are getting along just fine. We're just

93
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: all trying to hustle, all trying to pay our bills,

94
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: feed ourselves, feed our families, do our thing. And this

95
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: country works remarkably well. And right now it's doing very well.

96
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: You'll notice Trump administration. Now we're in year three. Where

97
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: are the neighborhoods being burned down? That hasn't happened? You know,

98
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: Where's the violence that we see in the streets tends

99
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: to come from the left, tends to come from antifoe.

100
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: We're actually getting along pretty well as a country these days.

101
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: But the left when oh my Trump is horrible and

102
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: he's pulling this apart, and no he's not. Trump is

103
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: in fact not agitating on issues of race at all

104
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: on a daily basis. He isn't telling us that we're

105
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: a nation of cowards because we won't, as Eric Holder did,

106
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: because we won't talk about race. Always turn on MSNBC.

107
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: All they want to do is talk about race all

108
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: the time because it's so just take this position that

109
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, the white male patriarchy is oppressing everybody else

110
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: and just just keep spewing that, look what Peto, did

111
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, we're just like so racist and terrible and

112
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: we're all being founded on races and racism. And then

113
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: this is a desperate guy who's looking for some traction

114
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: among the left wing base, but he knows that that's

115
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: going right into the center, right into the center of

116
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: the progressive wheelhouse. Just start talking about how racist and

117
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: terrible America is and how white people have so much

118
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: to atone for, and progressives, including other white progressives, but

119
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: progressives across the board are gonna be like, yeah, that's right. Now,

120
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: you're now you're speaking the truth. It's a truth though

121
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: that I think so many people don't recognize in this

122
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: country at all. Like I said, not only is the

123
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: country very prosperous, but the country is overwhelmingly very much

124
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: at peace with each other right now. Not politically, but

125
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: in our day to day lives. You walk around and

126
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: people are doing their own thing. We are actually quite

127
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: law abiding when you look at the size and scope

128
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: and scale of this country. But Democrats are agitators. They

129
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: are rabble rousers. They are community organizers who only wish

130
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: to complain and tear down very little, very little that

131
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: they want to celebrate, very little to build on. They'd

132
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: much rather destroy, like, for example, destroying the Department of

133
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: Homeland Security. I mean, here's Okasio Cortez telling New York

134
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: or radio that, you know, maybe we just get rid

135
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: of all. You know. This is the woman that has

136
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: been saying abolish ice, abolish ice, who lied, that's right,

137
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: lied about members of Board of roll said she felt

138
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: unsafe around them. Does she feel unsafe if she if

139
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: she sees cops in a Starbucks? Somebody should ask her

140
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: because I'm not sure what The answer is, she lives

141
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: in a fancy apartment down here in DC. I wonder

142
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: if she gets worried she walks into Starbucks and sees

143
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: a member of Metro Police. Oh my gosh, she has

144
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: a gun. Police. I walk in, I see a cop

145
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: in the place, and I think, well, this is the

146
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: safest restaurant I could be in right now. I think.

147
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: I think a vast majority of normal Americans feel the

148
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: same way, and they should. To think otherwise is to

149
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: be delusional. But Democrats embrace delusion because it is a

150
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: means to power for them. Here's AOC though, talking about

151
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: how getting rid of the Department of Homeland Security sounds

152
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: like just a just wonderful idea to her. Play eight

153
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: Ice is not under DJ, it's under the Department of

154
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: Homeland Security, and so we have Now would you get

155
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: rid of Homeland Security too? I think so. I think so.

156
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: I think we need to undo a lot of the

157
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: egregious a lot of the egregious mistakes of the Bush administration.

158
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: Did um. I feel like we are at a very

159
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: it is a very qualified and supported position, at least

160
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: in terms of evidence and in terms of being able

161
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: to make the argument that we never should have created

162
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: DHS in the early two thousands. Does she know what's

163
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: in DHS? You know? I know that people would would

164
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: shy away from asking her a knowledge based question because

165
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: it's so likely she would fail. And if you were

166
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: a reporter and you asked AOC, oh, yeah, okay, what

167
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: in what in DHS should we get rid of? What

168
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: are the what are the different agencies of the Department

169
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: of Homeland Security? Do you think she'd know Sacred Service,

170
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: Coast Guard, Immigration, the Customs and forceman She probably knows

171
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: that one Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMA. So when she

172
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: says get rid of DHS, does she even understand what

173
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: is in the Department of Homeland Security? I think the

174
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: answer is obviously no, she does not. And real journalists

175
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: would ask that question. They don't have to say, name

176
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: them because there's a lot of them. There's many federal departments,

177
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: and I think very few people couldn't name them off

178
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: the top of their TSA very few people could name

179
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: all of them. But could she name a couple that

180
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: should go? Could you just show us that she knows

181
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: other than ice, what DHS is comprised of in terms

182
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: of the most well known agencies, which one should go AOC,

183
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: I don't ask that question because then that would expose it.

184
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: She doesn't even know what the heck DHS does. But

185
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: it's just a way to bash, a way to bash

186
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: the Bush administration. That's right, Oh, because of what they

187
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: did after nine eleven, abolish ice. America is full of

188
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: ignorant people. America is soaked in racism. Do you ever

189
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: hear this? I mean, this is just from today, my friends,

190
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: AOC bato ilhan o more. Do you ever have a

191
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: day when you hear three Republicans just crash, just trash

192
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: this country and national security agencies and law enforcement you know,

193
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: soup the nuts top to bottom. Not a few people

194
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: at the FBI, not a few people who aren't doing

195
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: good jobs where I mean the whole that's the whole thing. Yeah,

196
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: let's just let's get rid of the Secret Service, Immigration

197
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: and Customs Enforcement, and Coast Guard. Ya get rid of

198
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: all of it because America is full of a bunch

199
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: of ignoramuses who are racist. Do you ever hear that

200
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: from Republicans? Do you ever hear that from conservatives? And

201
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: yet you hear it from the left so often that

202
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: it's it almost is barely newsworthy. I mean, they certainly

203
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: have no problem with it on a whole bunch of

204
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: the different left wing networks out there. Yeah, that's right.

205
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: They think that what they're speaking truth to power, they're

206
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: holding America accountable. But this is like the people that

207
00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: think having every UN resolution bashing Israel is somehow justice

208
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: because you know Israel does this, and well, we support

209
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: Israel by criticizing it. They'll say, all these leftists, all

210
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: these anti Semites, they'll say that, and he'll say, okay,

211
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: well what about I don't know what's going on like

212
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: the Sudan, All right, what's going on? What about what's

213
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: going on North Korea? Maybe the UN could spend some

214
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: time on that. Oh no, no, no, no, Just this

215
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: fixation on Israel shows us what they really think and

216
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: who the left really is when it comes to Jews

217
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: and Israel. But the fixation on bashing America for people

218
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: who are not just Americans but are representing us in

219
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: our government, the fixation on the left for people tells

220
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: us a lot about what they really think of this country.

221
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: And it brings me all the way back to Barack

222
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: Obama's promise to fundamentally transform this place. I don't think

223
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: you have to fundamentally transform something that's really pretty fantastic.

224
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: And that's why the residence of Trump's Make America Great

225
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: Again is being proud of this country, having context for

226
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: the criticisms that we make of this country, and not

227
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: engaging in this constant cycle of virtue signaling and moral

228
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: preening at the expense of this nation done by people who,

229
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: by the way, are overwhelmingly leftists, who are dishonorable, who

230
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: are cowardly, who do very little to better this country,

231
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: and just want to stand up in front of the

232
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: rest of us and tell us how much better than

233
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: us they are. This is going to be a problem

234
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: for Democrats who want to win elections, unfortunately, not a

235
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: not an insurmountable one, because there are a lot of

236
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: this is a Democrat ideology. Now much of the Democratic

237
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: Party subscribes to this. It's not just the politicians. You

238
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: walk around a lot of it's fashionable in DC, it's

239
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: fashionable in LA in some parts of New York City

240
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: to say, yeah, America is not so great. We got

241
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: a lot of this. This this country's pretty crappy in

242
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, really racist, A lot of ignorant people.

243
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: Trump's the president. This is what the elites walk around

244
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: chin wagging about, feeling very superior. So what is the

245
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: three to five percent of voters in the middle think

246
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: about all this? That's what's really going to determine the

247
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: next election. A lot to see, but anti Americanism it

248
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: is very much a feature and not a bug of

249
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: the modern Democratic Party. You can listen to it yourself.

250
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: From all of them. They want to let you know.

251
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: I've got more on Epstein today. He Acosta did a

252
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: whole press conference where he tried to defend himself. I

253
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: think it's pretty it's kind, it's pretty indefensible, and the

254
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: deal is pretty indefensible. But we'll get into the some

255
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: of the details there, and some of my theories is

256
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: to wear this whole thing. Dan's We've got both authors,

257
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: the co authors of the new Smash book on Kavanaugh

258
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: coming up, so we'll be right back to him. I mean,

259
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: how much pandering do Democrats think in this primary they'll

260
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: be able to get away with? Uh, It's it's a

261
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: fair question. It's a fair question. At what point does

262
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: what they say become even for the left wing base.

263
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: They're trying so hard to energize and get a bigger

264
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: piece of say, well, hold on a second, um, that's

265
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: just crazy talk. Joe Biden, whom I've been telling you

266
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: he's still ahead of the polls, but I've been he's

267
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: gonna keep dropping and dropping. He's not gonna he's not

268
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: gonna win. Joe Biden has uh what was asked by

269
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: an activist in South Carolina, a question that should just

270
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: for any person result in oh well, I can't exactly

271
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: agree to that, but not Joe Biden. Here's here's what

272
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: he has to say. Play six. The ACLU has the

273
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: roadmap for cutting incarceration by fifty percent through reforms that

274
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: have been endorsed by both the right and the left,

275
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: including four other presidential candidates and many conservatives, cutting incarceration

276
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: by fifty percent if elected, doing more than that, Wait,

277
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: there should be no look yeah, answer, yes, thank you.

278
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: I got a better plan than you guys have. Like,

279
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: I can't wait for hear in cut incarceration fifty percent? Folks. Hmm.

280
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: If you want a roadmap to how to turn around

281
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: the massive decline in crime in this country, cutting incarceration

282
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: fifty percent, I think it's gonna get it. I'm not

283
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: saying we shouldn't cut incarceration ten percent, fifteen percent. I mean,

284
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: I think there are ways that we should have and

285
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 1: we should think more about prison. And I'm a big

286
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: believer in violent crimes and assaults on individuals and things

287
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: like that should be treated as entirely separate from UH

288
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: and being separate prisons from people who are do things

289
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: that are just you know, violations of state order, things

290
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: like that malam and say versus malum prohibitive malam or

291
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: rather things that are bad in nature versus things that

292
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: are bad because the state says, that's a deeper discussion

293
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: than we have time for right now. But fifty percent, folks,

294
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: what Biden? I mean, why doesn't Biden just walk around

295
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: and say, you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna

296
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give everybody a check for a million dollars.

297
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: Just everyone's gonna get a million dollars. That sounds like gramman,

298
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: Come on, the government could do that. I mean, technically,

299
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: the government could do that. Probably a really bad idea,

300
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: but hey, man, Biden is like Santa Claus running around

301
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: just giving out gifts to everybody, any anything to stay

302
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: on top the polls. We've got more on the left

303
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: and Epstein. We got some Epstein updates coming your way.

304
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: In a moment here a Costa try to defend himself.

305
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: Was he successful in explaining the deal he gave Epstein?

306
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: That's coming up. In two thousand and six, a grand

307
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: jury convened by the state attorney the district attorney at

308
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: Palm Beach County reviewed the evidence and recommended a single charge,

309
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: and that charge would have resulted in no jail time

310
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: at all, no registration as a sexual offender, and no

311
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: restitution to the victim. The Palm Beach State Attorney's office

312
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: was ready to let Evestein walk free, no jail time, nothing.

313
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: Prosecutors in my former office found this to be completely unacceptable,

314
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: and they became involved. Our office became involved. Our prosecutors,

315
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: as this two thousand and eight article recounts, presented the ultimatum,

316
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: plead guilty to more serious charges, charges that require jail time,

317
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: registration and restitution, or we'd roll the dice and bring

318
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: a federal indictment. Without the work of our prosecutors, Epstein

319
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: would have gotten away with just that state charge. That

320
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: is Alex Acosta, the Director of Health and Human Services

321
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: Cabinet official the Bush and the Trump administration. He comes

322
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: out saying, today he held this press conference explaining, how

323
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: was it that given the horrific conduct of Epstein, I mean,

324
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: a true underage attacking sexual predator on a systematic scale,

325
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: where this guy, I mean, this guy's a monster. I mean,

326
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: how is it that he was able to get this

327
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: shockingly favorable prosecution deal when a normal person, a normal

328
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: person who was found, let's say, with just some some

329
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: underage girls in you know, photographs, would be facing registering

330
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: as a sex offender, prison time. I mean, you know,

331
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: a possession of child pornography is treated incredibly seriously under

332
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: under federal law. Now, I understand they didn't have that

333
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: on Epstein until now, but just to give you a

334
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: sense of the degree of the charges Epstein was taught

335
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: was never mind just photographs for a moment. He was

336
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: charged with actual sexual conduct with miners and trafficking in minors.

337
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what was known about him at

338
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: the time. Now here's where I have to say, Acosta,

339
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: after today, I do think and some of you and

340
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: you can disagree with me on this, that's fine. I

341
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: do think he's kind of got to go. What he

342
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: says is true, as in his office at least did something,

343
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: did something to punish Epstein, whereas the Palm Beach Democrat,

344
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: by the way, Palm Beach district attorney, was going to

345
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: let him off with essentially nothing, let him off entirely.

346
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: This guy flying around young girls, He's having sex with

347
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: underage girls all over the place. I mean, you know,

348
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: usually one allegation, one count of this would be enough

349
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: to land somebody in prison and to have them registered

350
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: a sex offender, because it's really serious. But they were

351
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 1: gonna make this whole thing go away for him, all right.

352
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: So Acosta, in fairness, at least hasn't register as a

353
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: sex offender and there's some criminal punishment. But why does

354
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: a Costa ignore that the victims are supposed to know

355
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: about this? Why does a Costa meet with Epstein's lawyer

356
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: in a very chummy fashion in a hotel lobby to

357
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: talk about this? What was really going on here? Folks?

358
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this right now. We do not have

359
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: anything near anything near the full story about this Epstein case.

360
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: We're hoping you get to you know, and you know,

361
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: and Coulter has been on this for years people think

362
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: of the best selling books that she's written, but which

363
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: obviously this thirteen of them. But on the Central Park

364
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: five and on Epstein, she's been way ahead of the curve.

365
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: So we're hoping. I've been. I'd talked to and today

366
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: and she said she's gonna hopefully come on either tomorrow

367
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: or later this week. Um, she's been saying all along,

368
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: there's there's much bigger stuff going on here today during

369
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: the press conference with a cost Remember this is a

370
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: cabinet level member of the bushman of it. I keep

371
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: saying that, sorry, the Trump administration, cabinet level Trump administration figure.

372
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: And he was asked by a journalist a very very

373
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: very very kind of out of the blue question, I

374
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: would think, But here's his answer to it. Was Epstein

375
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:30,959
Speaker 1: ever raised as an intelligence asset to him? I mean,

376
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: I was in the CIA. So when people start talking

377
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: about whether somebody was an intelligence asset, my ears all

378
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden, going, huh, hold on, hold on a second,

379
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 1: what is this all about? Play clip twenty story. Were

380
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: you ever made aware of any point you're handling this

381
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: case if mister Epstein was an intelligence asset of some sort? Um,

382
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: so so so so there has there has been reporting

383
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 1: to that effect. And and let me say, there's been

384
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: reporting to a lot of effects in this case, not

385
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: just now, but over the years. And again, I would,

386
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, I would hesitate to take this reporting as fact.

387
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: This was a case that was brought by our office.

388
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: It was brought based on the facts, and and I

389
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: look at that reporting and others. I can't address it

390
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: directly because of our our guidelines, but I can tell

391
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: you that that a lot of reporting is just going

392
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: down rabbit holes. That's not a no, that's not a denial,

393
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: and there has been reporting to say that. A Costa initially,

394
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: when pushed about this by the Trump administration, may have

395
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: said something like, oh it was you know, I was

396
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: told he was an intelligence asset, and so I didn't

397
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: push much further. You know, essentially, this guy Epstein is

398
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: supersecret squirrel. You know, the government within the government, like

399
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: the deep state, wants this guy protected. So I didn't

400
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,479
Speaker 1: ask any questions. There's real reporting on that, folks. It's

401
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: not conspiracy stuff. That's what is being reported. He told

402
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. Very very strange. Now do I think

403
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 1: that that's true, Probably not, but it certainly raises some eyebrows,

404
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: and especially when Acosta was asked at press conference, it's

405
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: not a hard thing to be like, no, that's ridiculous.

406
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: He's not an intelligence asset. Come on, that's not a

407
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: hard thing to say as a US citizen. He's a

408
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: PETO and now he's facing forty five years in federal prison.

409
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: They can't just confer that was can either confirm nor deny,

410
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: which coming from the intelligence world that I used to

411
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: operate in, why are you pulling that one out? Strikes

412
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: me as very odd. Another thing here that strikes me

413
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: as very odd. Epstein was fabulously wealthy, not just a

414
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: little bit rich. I mean this guy was super big

415
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: time billionaire level rich. He's living in a seventy million

416
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: dollar mansion in New York, folks, and that was one

417
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: of six homes that he owned. Private jet everywhere one

418
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: of them was made a commercial airliner. I think that

419
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: they retrofitted to be a private jet. I mean, this guy,

420
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: this guy spending money in the you know, at the

421
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: very very top of the spendthrift scale. I mean, this

422
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: guy was just blown cash all over the place in

423
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: the way that very few, even very wealthy people can do.

424
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,719
Speaker 1: They say oh, he's a hedge fund manager. No one

425
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: knows who his clients are. No one really knows where

426
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: this guy made his money. I'll tell you this. You

427
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: tell me who you know. You be the name of

428
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: an individual who's a billionaire, and you want to know

429
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: how he made his money. It's usually not hard to

430
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: figure out at all. And for someone to become a

431
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: billionaire on Wall Street, a self made billionaire, which is

432
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: what he would have to be, there would have to

433
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: be all kinds of major transactions and stories, and you

434
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: know he you know, short of this stock hostile takeover

435
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: of that company. There's nothing. Nobody seems to know how

436
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: this guy. We're really to believe that he's some secret

437
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: stock picking genius. Didn't have to out in the open,

438
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, do didn't have to raise funds in the open.

439
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: People just gave him all this money. Didn't have to

440
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: do you know what they call a beauty contest. You

441
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: go around, you pitch to different people. You know, give

442
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: me money, give me money, I want to invest your money.

443
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: Didn't have to do a raise. That's just this, doesn't

444
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: you know. I don't operate in that world, but I

445
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: know a lot of people who are from Wall Street

446
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: and do you know the big players in finance, and

447
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: this guy had access to everybody had access because he

448
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: was so rich because of his of the of the

449
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: piles of cash and who's able to throw around. No

450
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: one really knows how he made his money. How is

451
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,479
Speaker 1: that possible. It's not. It's not something that you can

452
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: You can't become a billionaire really in secret the way

453
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: this guy did. There's something wrong here. No one really

454
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: knows how he made his money. I'm sorry, there's a

455
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: big issue here. Yeah, offshore accounts, blah blah, but yeah, okay,

456
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: but what was he doing to make all this money? Now,

457
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: there are some theories out there, There are some theories

458
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: and this is not where the facts are yet. But

459
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: let's just say, or rather, this is not proven by

460
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,959
Speaker 1: the facts, but here is a fact pattern that at

461
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: least lends some credibility to this line of argument. This

462
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: guy was clearly enabled by people and had very very

463
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: high level connects. He also had cameras all over his home,

464
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: cameras set up and was according to the victims in

465
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: these uh you know, his young victims, he was fascinated

466
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: by and was very much interrogating these girls who were

467
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: brought in and sexually abused by people who weren't Epstein,

468
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: and we haven't gotten those names yet. I'm very curious

469
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: to see what that's how that's going to turn out.

470
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: But there are some there are some warning signs. There

471
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: are some indicators here that Epstein may have at least

472
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: maybe he was running a lot of money and he

473
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: was good at it. But you know, it's another way

474
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: to run money and another way to get information, maybe

475
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: market moving information, to get protection from above blackmail. Somebody,

476
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: somebody was bankrolling this guy, that's for sure. I mean,

477
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: there's no way. It is not possible to become that

478
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: wealthy and not start out with assets. I mean, I

479
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: can tell you that Epstein didn't take his salary from

480
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: his Wall Street job, save that money and then just

481
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: invested and become a billionaire. Somebody was bankrolling this guy.

482
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: Could it be a foreign government good Epstein? I mean,

483
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: remember Acosta has asked if he was an intelligence asset.

484
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not that he's an American intelligence asset. Maybe

485
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: it's something else we don't know. Somebody was giving this

486
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: guy a lot of cash and he was protected from

487
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: on high. Acosta's deal with him is indefensible, and Acosta

488
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: kind of knows it, but somebody might have put the

489
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: pressure on Acosta. You know, maybe in this Acosta was

490
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: not the guy really making the final determination, or if

491
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: somebody else came down and said this is the way

492
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: it's going to be. Folks, we are just the beginning

493
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: of this, and there is a very real concern that

494
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: we should all have that even with this now out

495
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: into the public the way that it has been, that

496
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: this could still get this can still get covered up.

497
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: When you're talking about money and power and influence at

498
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: this level, what isn't possible is the question you have

499
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: to ask this guy. Epstein's got photos with It's the

500
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: who's who of media and politics of the most powerful

501
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 1: people in the country. He's rubbing elbows with them all

502
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: the time. He has fabulous levels of wealth. No one

503
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: really knows how he acquired it. This story that the

504
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: media didn't want to cover this story until now, probably

505
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: because they think they can put it on Trump, even

506
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: though Trump is going to come out of us looking

507
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: just fine. Trump didn't like this guy, barely knew this

508
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: guy at all, that's obvious. So how do you get

509
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: the kind of influence that Epstein had were up. Allegedly,

510
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: Graydon Carter, the editor in chief of Vanity Fair, removed

511
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: allegations from underage victims from a story in Vanity Fair

512
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: at Epstein's request. You're going to strong arm the editor

513
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: in chief of Vanity Fair, very connected and wealthy guy himself.

514
00:31:58,160 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: You're going to strong arm him to change a story

515
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: just because you're good at moving money around. I don't

516
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: think so we're going to stay on this. I don't

517
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: do conspiracy theories on this show. I do try to

518
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: get as far ahead of stories as I can based

519
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: on the facts, and I try to indicate where I

520
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: think things are going. But there has been some attention

521
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: this is in light of the Epstein story of a

522
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: case that's now a couple of decades old, and it

523
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: wasn't in this country. It was in Belgium with a

524
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: convicted child rapist and murderer named Mark Paul Alan du True.

525
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: This d True fellow, starting in the nineties, kidnapped, raped,

526
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: and murdered a number of small girls aged between eight

527
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: and nineteen. He buried their bodies after doing all them.

528
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't even tell you the kind of

529
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: horrific things that to True was convicted of doing to

530
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: these girls. He's now serving a life sentence. They don't

531
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: have the death penalty in Belgium. But why people are

532
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: looking at this case or why it's coming up again

533
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: and you can just do a couple today? I saw

534
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: it to said, what is this story? I read about

535
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: it a little bit, did some Google searches on it.

536
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: It turns out that this was a fellow who was

537
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: an evil psychopath. But he claimed that he was part

538
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: of a very high level pedophile ring in Belgium, involving

539
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: law enforcement and politicians. And when people looked into what

540
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: had really gone on in his case, it was unbelievable

541
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: how inept, at a minimum, the police were. I mean,

542
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: at one point you had a police officer inspecting a

543
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: home on a tip and there were girls screaming out

544
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: from the basement who were being chained there, who eventually

545
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: starved death. Unbelievable stuff. The police were so incredibly incompetent

546
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: that it's hard to believe that they And this was

547
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: in the late nineties early two thousands. His trial was

548
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: in two thousand and four, seven years after his initial arrest,

549
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: So this went on for a long time in Belgium.

550
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: And there was a special prosecutor essentially brought in to

551
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: oversee the case our magistrates, so it's kind of like

552
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: a judge I believe, to oversee the case who was

553
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: replaced and then later on broke down on the stand

554
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: this is the guy who's supposed to bring this guy

555
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: to justice, and said that he was being threatened his life,

556
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: was being threatened by senior government officials, by people effectively

557
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: in the Belgian deep state and with connections to the mafia,

558
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: the European mafia, for trying to bring to light what

559
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: exactly had happened here. I mean, you read about this

560
00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: due true case, which it sounds like it's may up

561
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: for some some you know, novel, and it's all a

562
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: matter of record that this guy was a pedophile, rapist

563
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 1: and murderer, and there were some very very disturbing things

564
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: that happened. It led to a three hundred thousand person

565
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: march trying to get justice here, people marching in the streets,

566
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:23,479
Speaker 1: twenty witnesses. According to the Guardian, the UK mysteriously died

567
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: and all along there were these indicators that there were

568
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: powerful people that did not want the truth to come out.

569
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: It was perhaps the political fight of my lifetime, one

570
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: that I felt close to because I was here in

571
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: the swamp as it was unfolding. It was hard to

572
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: believe at certain points the confirmation of Brett Cavanaugh. The

573
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: fight that was around it, during it and afterwards continues

574
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,919
Speaker 1: on to this day. There's a fantastic new book out

575
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: now that details exactly what happened then, and this is

576
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: it's important not just to know the truth of that

577
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: back and forth, but also to understand going forward what

578
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: we as conservatives my friends are up against. The authors

579
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: of Justice on Trial, the Kavanaugh confirmation, and the future

580
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: of the Supreme Court are with us. Now. You can

581
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: get the book, by the way on Amazon where it

582
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: is number one that's Justice on Trial. We have Molly

583
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: Hemingway and Carrie Severino, the two co authors, joining us.

584
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, ladies. I know you're super busy.

585
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: It's yeah. Well, it's great to be here with you,

586
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: all right, So just can I start with Molly telling

587
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: me what do people need to when we think about this?

588
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: And we covered it very much on the show, so

589
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: this audience remembers the Kavanaugh trial, but to bring us

590
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 1: back into it, what is the top line here that

591
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: you get into in the book. What do people need

592
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: to take away from that fight? Yeah, we wrote Justice

593
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: on Trial because the Kavanaugh confirmation we thought was the

594
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: most important thing to happen to America last year, and

595
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: first and foremost just getting the facts down. We interviewed

596
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: more than one hundred people, the president, Supreme Court justices,

597
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: dozens of senators to find out exactly what had happened

598
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: and how this confirmation battle was waged by all sides,

599
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 1: so that people have the information so that they will

600
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: be on guard in the future when such tactics are

601
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: used again. We show in our book that this did

602
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: have precedent. There were a lot of comparisons to the

603
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: Justice Thomas hearings, the Robert Bork hearings, and it will

604
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: be used again so long as people tolerate and allow

605
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 1: this type of destruction and character assassination to continue. Kerry,

606
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: what were some of the facts that you uncovered from

607
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: this hundred plus interviews you did and the deep dive

608
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: into everything from the Kavanaugh confirmation fight. What are some

609
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: things that people might not know or some of the

610
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: new information that came to light as a result of

611
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: your investigations. Wow, we learned so many fun stories, even

612
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: from people who really involved in the process. As you

613
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 1: were watching this as as it played out, we learned

614
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: a lot of new things, everything from the details of

615
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: how Justice Kennedy was able to sneak out and get

616
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 1: into the White House without other people knowing how even

617
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,479
Speaker 1: when he told his own colleagues at the Supreme Court

618
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: about his retirement, they were surprised he had managed to

619
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: keep them in the dark as well. But also when

620
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: you get into the Kavanaugh confirmation, as particularly this kind

621
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: of second phase, some of the details about the coordination

622
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: and the left, the way that Democrats, even intensely involved

623
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: in trying to make sure this rolled out in a

624
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 1: very media friendly way as part of their coordinated campaign

625
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: to oppose Kavanaugh. They couldn't do it by the traditional

626
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: means of talking about his decisions, and of course they

627
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: were mischaracterizing them at the time, then they would do

628
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,919
Speaker 1: it by trying to bring scoreless allegations. We had one

629
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: really shocking story that I loved was where we had

630
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: learned that Senator Harris and Senator Horrona we're talking in

631
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: the ante room after in the middle of one of

632
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: the hearings with Blasi Ford and Horona said, you know,

633
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: isn't it so great? We encouraged her to where that

634
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: blue dress and asked for caffeine to create those parallels

635
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: to Anita Hill. And so it's just shocking. The Democrats

636
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: were really, you know, part of this campaign to have

637
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: a media push for attacks on Justice Kavanaugh. And I

638
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: think that's the kind of thing that we're hoping we

639
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: can prevent happening to future nominees. And Molly, you were

640
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: able in this to put out there some information that

641
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: was known to the White House at the time about

642
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: Blasi Ford. I mean, I'll just say for the record,

643
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you ladies agree or disagree,

644
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: but I thought the second accuser was entirely not credible

645
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 1: and the third accuser was entirely insane. So Blasi Ford

646
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 1: was the only one that they were really hanging their

647
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: hats on to get this thing done. But there was

648
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: information that wasn't released about her that you deal with

649
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: in the book. Right, at least the first accusation was

650
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: within the realm of possibility, which is not what you

651
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: could say about some of the subsequent allegations. It was

652
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: also true that there was no corroborating information that gave

653
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: reason to, you know, to support this allegation. What we

654
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: uncovered in our reporting was that both the White House

655
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 1: and Senate Republicans were being given quite a bit of

656
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 1: information that showed that Christie Blasi was not who the

657
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: Washington Post was portraying her to be necessarily, or that

658
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: things were a little more complicated than they were showing.

659
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: We interviewed friends who like her, who you know, who

660
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: generally have a positive view of her, who reported that

661
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: she was a heavy drinker in high school, very aggressive

662
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: with boys. And this isn't to say that that has

663
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 1: varying on her accusation. The lack of evidence to support

664
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: the accusation is what's key there. But we thought it

665
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: was interesting that they had this information and they didn't

666
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: use it, and they didn't use it because they knew

667
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:53,439
Speaker 1: that the media would destroy anyone who who talked about

668
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: these things, even though they were widely talked about in

669
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: her community and had been for decades. Well, I do

670
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: also think that we need to m and then what

671
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: the standards are going to be going forward here, because

672
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh's fondness for drinking beer not only was relevant

673
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: somehow in all of this, but became a national punchline,

674
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 1: but that's perhaps a discussion for another time. Kerry, how

675
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: near fought a contest was this? I think that to

676
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: make sure that everyone really pays attention to this, and

677
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: remember every when the book is Justice on Trial, the

678
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh Confirmation, in the Future of the Supreme Court. It

679
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: is number one on Amazon. I have already bought my copy.

680
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: I recommend you do the same. But Kerrie, how close

681
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: fought a battle was this to get Kavanaugh through? Yeah?

682
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: I mean I think we learned in our reporting that

683
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: this was absolutely not a done deal, right right up

684
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: until the end. I mean when that vote was called,

685
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell did not know if he had the vote,

686
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: but he knew we have to go forward and see

687
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: what's happening. One of the exciting stories that we learned was,

688
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: you remember that moment when Jeff Lake was trying to

689
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: decide whether he's going to vote for Kavanaugh out of

690
00:41:58,200 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: committee and he goes in the back room and there's

691
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: discussion with Senator Kohn's there. That was not just close

692
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 1: fought in a figurative sense, but almost in a literal sense.

693
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: There were senators who were literally threatening to punch each

694
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: other in that back room. It's a crazy scene that

695
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: we detail in our book, where Jeff, Jeff Lake, and

696
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: Chris Kohn's are tucked in this tiny phone booth. In

697
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: this back room, You've got Senator Cornyan trying to get

698
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: in there as well, all these senators vying for Flake

699
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: trying to get his ear, dozens of staffers back there.

700
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: It is a wild scene. And they were so frustrated

701
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: with the way that Democrats did and politicized the process

702
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: and throwing the rules and the Senate's procedures under the

703
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: bus in their no holes barred attempt to get Kavanaugh,

704
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: to block Kavanaugh's confirmation. The irony, of course, is that

705
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 1: Jeff Flake's delay actually ended up, I think helping Kavanaugh

706
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: because it really allowed the FBI to look at some

707
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: of those things, and they actually uncovered that effect there

708
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: was no evidence for the allegations, and in fact, it

709
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: uncovered other evidence of maybe witness tampering even in the process,

710
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,959
Speaker 1: and so I think people came out of that FBI

711
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: investigation even more confident that these allegations did not have

712
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: any foundation. A boy, just listen to Susan Collins and

713
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: you can hear the play by play discussion of all

714
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: of that evidence and why it ended up being a

715
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: victory in the end. Molly, how do you gauge the

716
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: influence on this process that Michael Avanatti and the Julie Sweatnick,

717
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: the third accuser, the one who made the as anybody

718
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: being honest would have to admit, just completely implausible and

719
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 1: insane allegations about Brett Cavanaugh being part of a secret

720
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: gang rape society that no one had ever heard of

721
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: or knew anything about before. Do you think that that

722
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: may have actually tipped the balance in favor of Kavanaugh

723
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: or how did that factor into all of this? Yeah,

724
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: our reporting indicates that it actually did just that. You know,

725
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: when the first allegations came out, people who who had

726
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: thoughtful you know, who had thought things about the confirmation

727
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: process were not surprised, and they were prepared for something

728
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: like this because they've seen it being done before, whether

729
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: with Robert Bork or Clarence Thomas. A bunch of people

730
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: took it much more seriously, frankly than they probably should

731
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: have been. By the time these more ridiculous allegations are

732
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: coming out, people recognize the campaign for what it is,

733
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: a last minute no holds barred attempt to delay and obstruct,

734
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: even if it meant destroying a man who heretofore had

735
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 1: a wonderful reputation, And so it was so absurd that

736
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: at the time that the allegation comes out, one Senate staffer,

737
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: it's just like, thank God, this is happening. It's over

738
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: for the anti kabanaf forces. And I think he was

739
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: shown to be absolutely right. And Carrie, it's fair to

740
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: say this isn't necessarily over, not just that the tactics,

741
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: and I think this is why your book is so important,

742
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: why everybody should read Justice on Trial, because they they

743
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 1: will replay this. And there's been some similarity to Bork

744
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: and to Justice Thomas in the past, but this was

745
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: uglier and really for a lot of people, I think,

746
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 1: more ruthless than anything that we had ever seen before,

747
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: certainly in my lifetime or within my memory. But also,

748
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: they're still hoping to get after Kavanaugh and create a

749
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 1: narrative to destroy him even though he's on the court,

750
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: aren't they. That's absolutely right. I clerked at the Supreme

751
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: Court for Justice Thomas, and you know there weren't just

752
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: analogies to his confirmation process through the way that these

753
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:29,240
Speaker 1: allegations came out. We're seeing the same pattern after the confirmation.

754
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: When Thomas was confirmed, two to one Americans believed him

755
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: over Anita Hill. And you've seen decades long, a steady

756
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: drumbeat of messaging, of building a narrative that says exactly

757
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: the opposite. And I think if you ask most people

758
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: up today, they will have forgotten that that original response

759
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: to people who really watched that process unfolded in real time.

760
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: We want to make sure that doesn't happen to Kavanaugh

761
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: because now that they've lost their battle to stop him

762
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: from getting on the court, they want to discredit him

763
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: and all of the conservative decisions he has going forwards.

764
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: So with Justice on trial, we're hoping we can stop

765
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: that disinformation campaign in its track to the facts. We'll

766
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: speak for themselves, and Molly, it's already been said that

767
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: there are some books that are planned from the other

768
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,919
Speaker 1: side of the political spectrum about Kavanaugh that are clearly

769
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: going to be meant to take him down and say

770
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: that this was, you know, a huge defeat for the

771
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: me too movement and it's all terrible. Have you come

772
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 1: across some of that from the mainstream media, So far

773
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 1: that they're trying to suppress your book in favor of

774
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: getting out the other narrative, because you and Kerry got

775
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: this book out first. We did, and it is very

776
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 1: thoroughly reported, and I think people might be surprised at

777
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 1: just what a fair and even handed and balanced book

778
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: it is. It is number one, it's been number one

779
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: for days, and yet we have seen almost no attention

780
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: from corporate media, and so I think that really speaks

781
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: to the front. You know, it's kind of what we

782
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: covered when we were when we were going through this,

783
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: there was major media malfeasons and how they approached this,

784
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: and it is unfortunate that some of the porters who

785
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,240
Speaker 1: are working on books were well known for their anti

786
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: Kabinaugh activism as reporters during the process. So I mean,

787
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope they do a better job with

788
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: their journalism on the book than they did during the process. Well, congratulations, ladies.

789
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: The good news is that it's number one and it's

790
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 1: going to continue to sell really well because it's an

791
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: important story and the two of you are perfect people

792
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 1: to write it. Molly Hemingway and Kerry Savorino. Everybody Justice

793
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 1: on trial, the Kavanaugh confirmation and the future of the

794
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. Ladies, thank you for doing this. Molly. You

795
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 1: know how much this meant to me too, because we

796
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: talked about this when it was all going down. So

797
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: thank you for writing the story. Yeah, yeah, thank you

798
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: for writing the story, and thank you for all your

799
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: work on this. Thank you so much. Buck, All right, team,

800
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. Debt piles up, deficit twenty five

801
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: percent higher since election. That's that's on the headline right

802
00:47:56,200 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: now of the Drudge Report, and the numbers don't line.

803
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: We are spending a lot, folks. The Trump administration, for

804
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: all the good, is spending a lot of money, and

805
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: the country's public debt now is on its way to

806
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 1: exceeding nine of GDP. Let me tell you something right now.

807
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: Because you have a pro business, pro capitalist in the

808
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: White House, an administration that is cutting taxes and cutting regulation,

809
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,399
Speaker 1: things seem like it's okay and they're going pretty well.

810
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 1: But the moment, the moment that you have a democrat

811
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: in charge again, they will point to the lack of

812
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 1: spending restraint to justify what will be just the worst

813
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 1: kind of overspending. The stuff that we saw from the

814
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: Obama years and then some and there's even now and

815
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders and Okazio Cortez and that wing of the

816
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: Democratic Party is increasingly embracing this. Some of you will

817
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 1: know exactly I'm talking about a theory called MMT modern

818
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: monetary theory. And here's a very short version of what

819
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: MMT is. And this is I'm telling you Bernie Sanders

820
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 1: advisors are all about this. You know, sees advisors are

821
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: all about this. The hard left in this country is

822
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: trying to promote MMT as a mainstream economic theory, even

823
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: Democrats like Larry Summers. No, this is crazy, but here's

824
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: a short version of it. Public debt doesn't matter, anything,

825
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: can be anything you want it to be. The only

826
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: thing you have to worry about with public debt is inflation.

827
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: And all you have to do is monitor inflation as

828
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: you spend and find ways to combat inflation specific to

829
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: whatever cause that inflation. Now, some of you are going

830
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: to say, well, hold on a second. There are some

831
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 1: huge what ifs or ifs and and how twos and

832
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 1: all that. Who says that once in inflation starts, you'll

833
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: be able to stop it, and especially if the inflation

834
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: is the result of a government decision, and active decision

835
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: is to say we can spend whatever we think we

836
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: need to spend. This is in part what brought down

837
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't like to always make the Venezuela comparison,

838
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: but this is in part what brought down Venezuela and

839
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: Venezuela under Chavez from nineteen ninety nine to what twenty twelve,

840
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: when he was in charge, they just spent and spent

841
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 1: and spending. People liked it, the poor people liked it.

842
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: A lot of spending, a lot of public spending. But

843
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: then you had a couple of things happened. You had

844
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 1: the oil prices drop, which also meant that the foreign

845
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 1: foreign currency reserves in Venezuela dropped. It meant their overall

846
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: economic picture got a lot worse because they had just

847
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: had less revenue. And then they decided, well, we have

848
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: public we now have public death that we can't pay,

849
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 1: so let's just start and let's just start printing dollars

850
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: or in their kids, printing bolivars. Well, guess what happens

851
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: Then the global currency markets say, hold on a second.

852
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 1: Now you're making our money. Now we're not going to lend.

853
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: You're making our money worth less this is not good.

854
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: And then they say, oh, no, no, no, we're just

855
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,240
Speaker 1: gonna keep We're gonna inflate the dollar, We're gonna inflate

856
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: the debt away. Well, then you get to inflation that

857
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 1: turns into hyperinflation, which just means really really bad inflation.

858
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 1: The currency becomes worthless. People with savings all of a

859
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: sudden have no savings, the poor have no buying power whatsoever,

860
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: and you have breadlines and just pandemonium on the streets,

861
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: which is exactly what you have in Venezuela. Now, modern

862
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: monetary theorists in this country on the left, the progressives

863
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 1: that are pushing this, would say that can happen to

864
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: us because America, unlike Venezuela, is the global reserve currency. Okay,

865
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: let's just play this out for a moment. That's true

866
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: right now. Is it always going to be true? What

867
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 1: happens when democrats, if they get in charge and implement MMT,

868
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 1: which I think they will, they'll just say that they

869
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 1: don't even care with the debt as anymore. They whatever

870
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: they think needs to be spent, and then just they'll

871
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: monitor inflation along the way so that they'll say, oh,

872
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: we're not going to spend. We're not going to triple

873
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: the national debt in a year, but we don't have

874
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: to worry. It's not a concern. You don't ever have

875
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: to pay it down. You can just keep running the

876
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: debt higher and higher and higher, as long as you

877
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: do it in a controlled way. That's modern monetary theory,

878
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. There's no downside of this. Okay, What happens

879
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: when it becomes clear that that's the official policy of

880
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 1: the United States government and then all of a sudden

881
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: other countries say, you know what, we're gonna start buying

882
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: are We're gonna start buying oil and Redman b or

883
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 1: what happens if people say, oh, I'm gonna start putting

884
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: my assets into cryptocurrency. What happens when we're not the

885
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 1: reserve currency anymore. This is how governments fall. This is

886
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: how economies collapse. This is how entire hegemons are brought

887
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: to their knees. And it is an active policy promoted

888
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: by democrats. Now modern monetary theory, Google, you see exactly

889
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. This is what aoc This is what

890
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: Bernie and Warren, that's what they want to do. Come

891
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: up with a framework and economic theory that the government

892
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: can spend whatever it wants to spend as long as

893
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:15,280
Speaker 1: it pays attention as it's spending it. This could destroy,

894
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 1: absolutely destroy the US economy. And I don't mean a recession,

895
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 1: I mean done, collapse, finished. Democrats are increasingly embracing this theory.

896
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 1: It's easy as we focus in on the different personalities

897
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 1: and the day to day Twitter fights and media throwdowns,

898
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: it's easy to lose out of the fact that there's

899
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: some very big issues, things that affect you, things that

900
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: will matter to you, that will be on the ballots,

901
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: so to speak, or will be determined by the ballots

902
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: in the next election. One of them is just how

903
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: far left this country is going to go on a

904
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: whole host of issues and a whole whole swath of things.

905
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 1: And this is why AOC and Bernie demanding a climate

906
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: change national emergency should be troubling to everyone listening to

907
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: this play nine. We have two of them twelve years

908
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:21,320
Speaker 1: to transform our energy system away from post to energy

909
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 1: efficiency and sustainable energy. This is a moral imperatle there

910
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: is no choice. This is a political crisis of an action,

911
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: and it's going to take political will, political courage in

912
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 1: order press to treat this issue with the urgency that

913
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: the next generation needs. Here we have two leading progressives,

914
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: two progressives who are beloved on the left and probably

915
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: the ones who are the most able to with a

916
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: single statement, a single utterance or tweet, move the news cycle,

917
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 1: create a controversy, or create a furious back and forth

918
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: between left and right. I mean, it's it's AOC and

919
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 1: it's Bernie, and they're saying quite openly here that we

920
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 1: have twelve years to dramatically transform and that's not an overstatement.

921
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: In fact, if anything, it's understatement. I mean, to completely

922
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 1: upend the American economy or else we're all going to die.

923
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: That's that's what they are. That's what they're They're saying

924
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: that we have twelve years or else the whole the

925
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: whole world is going to overheat and we're gonna have

926
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 1: catastrophic climate change and horrible things are going to happen.

927
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: I mean, they are effectively profits of doom. They might

928
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: as well be pushing around shopping carts with you know

929
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:53,359
Speaker 1: John three sixteen scrawled in in semi legible handwriting while

930
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:55,760
Speaker 1: not wearing any you know, will not wearing any pants

931
00:55:56,040 --> 00:56:00,320
Speaker 1: and uh not having bathed in about three years. You know,

932
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 1: they they are completely out of their minds, and yet

933
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:08,399
Speaker 1: they're treated as people who should not only are are

934
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 1: you worthy of our attention? But should run the country,

935
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 1: should be in charge of things. You know, the best

936
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: thing that Trump has going for him going to reelection

937
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: the best thing. And I think there's a lot of

938
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: stuff about Trump that really is exceptional and excellent, but

939
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: the single best thing is the modern Democratic Party. These

940
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: people are wacko. You know, if it were Trump versus

941
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 1: some really sound, thinking, slick Democrat technocrat who understood markets

942
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,359
Speaker 1: new I'll tell you this right now, if he had

943
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: a better personality and a bunch more charisma, you know,

944
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: someone like a A Bloomberg or even someone like a

945
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: Howard Schultz as the Democrat candidate, he'd have to win

946
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: the Democratic nomination, but would be far more formidable in

947
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 1: my mind than we're seeing here. I think Trump still wins,

948
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 1: but at least you look at Michael Bloomberg, you go,

949
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 1: this guy's not you know, he's not going to run

950
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: the country into the ground the way that San Francisco

951
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: has been running into the ground, or that you know,

952
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 1: Los Angeles is being run to the ground. Now, I

953
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,439
Speaker 1: mean he ran New York pretty well, very well. Really,

954
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna be honest, and it's but in some way

955
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: he remember he was a Republican folk, so that's at

956
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: the name. He's a Democrat on some issues, Republican others.

957
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: You know, a centrist Democrat who's not an economic illiterate

958
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: would be at least a challenge or worthy of the

959
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: name for Trump. That the Democratic Party today is just

960
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: hoping that they can be looney enough and do enough,

961
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 1: just insane fear mongering and scream racist enough and all

962
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 1: this stuff that they can get people to vote for

963
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: them to beat Trump. It's it's just troubling. Meanwhile, Trump

964
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: understands this Green New Deal. I mean, this is this

965
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: is idiocy, It really is. It's idiocy on steroids, play

966
00:57:54,920 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: ten kill millions of jobs. It'll crush the dreams of

967
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 1: the poorest Americans and disproportionately harm minority communities. I will

968
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: not stand for it. We will defend the environment, but

969
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: we will also defend American sovereignty, American prosperity, and we

970
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 1: will defend American jobs, defend the environment, but also defend

971
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 1: American prosperity. That that's what should be done here. It

972
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 1: does not have to be either or. The Left pretends

973
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 1: that it's either or. So the fight over the Green

974
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: New Deal, this is they can't walk away from this.

975
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: Now the Left has made its bed. It's gonna have

976
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: to sleep on. It's sleeping it on healthcare for illegals,

977
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 1: on the Green New Deal, on obviously raising taxes, but

978
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: they always want to raise taxes. They can't walk through

979
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 1: the Green New Deal. And on healthcare. I've got to

980
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 1: say this is where my criticism starts to focus in

981
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: on the Republican Party, because there has to be a

982
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: much better messaging campaign about what Trump really plans to do,

983
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 1: especially if we get back a majority in the House.

984
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: On healthcare, because folks, it did not there was no repeal.

985
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: Now there may be a judicial dismantling, and I believe

986
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: it's the Fifth Circuit in Texas that is looking at

987
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: it right now. There may be a judicial dismantling of Obamacare.

988
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 1: In essence, a federal judge has said that because the

989
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: individual mandate was necessary for the whole law, and because

990
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: the individual mandate is a tax, and because Trump has

991
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 1: gotten rid of that tax, therefore no individual mandate. Therefore no,

992
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: Obamacare more or less is the way it goes. That

993
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 1: would be judicial strengthen it, but it's gonna make it

994
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 1: all the way for the Supreme Court. And do we

995
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: think that will Roberts save Obamacare a third time? I

996
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: think the answer is yes. I would put money on it.

997
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 1: Robert's whole legacy now is that he wouldn't save the

998
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 1: American people from the stupidity of Obamacare the first or

999
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: the second time. And you know that that will never

1000
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: be able to see him the same way after that decision.

1001
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: That was a decision made for that was political. It

1002
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: was not legal as political attacks, as a penalty a

1003
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: penalties attacks, I don't think so. But here is Jim

1004
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Jordan just talking about the lies, and we need more

1005
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: of this. The lies of Obamacare Play fifteen. I call

1006
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 1: him the nine lies of Obamacare. Think about this. Remember

1007
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: this one. If you like your doctor, you can keep

1008
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: your doctor, y'all? Remember that one. How about the one

1009
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: if you like your plan, you can keep your plan.

1010
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 1: We were told by the President of the United States

1011
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 1: premiums were gonna go down. He then got more specifics.

1012
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 1: Premiums will go down on average fifteen hundred dollars he

1013
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: said deductibles would decline. Five false statements right there. Oh,

1014
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: remember this one. They told us the website was gonna work.

1015
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 1: They told us the website was secure. Your information would

1016
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 1: be secure. There. They told us that these co ops

1017
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 1: were wonderful. End all, be all creations. Twenty three were created.

1018
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: Guess how many are still in existence. Four the other

1019
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 1: Night team went bankrupt. Oh, you have the ninth fly.

1020
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: They told us. First they told us it's not attacked.

1021
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: Then they went to court and said it is attack.

1022
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: Now they're saying, no, it's not really attacked at all

1023
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 1: because you can't attack him out because the individual man

1024
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: day is gone, there's no penalty. Nine different lies. We

1025
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 1: were told about Obamacare, and the hearing is titled how

1026
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 1: Trump's efforts? How can you undermine something that's already failed?

1027
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 1: Someone has to be out there making the case because

1028
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 1: healthcare does move voters. People care about healthcare and the

1029
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: administ This is one of the very I think we're

1030
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: gonna be heading into the election. Who knows, really, I

1031
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 1: think we're gonna be heading the election though with a

1032
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: very strong, very strong economy. I think Trump is going

1033
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: to be in an excellent position based on where this

1034
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 1: country is in terms of unemployment and job creation, job

1035
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 1: growth GDP, all of that. You know, Oh, he's gonna

1036
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 1: start a trade ward with China and we're wrong. No,

1037
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: it's all it's okay, We're fine. You know, they's all

1038
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 1: the fearmongering that they do. Oh what's gonna But I say,

1039
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: I think that the Republican Party needs to get it

1040
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 1: together here and present a healthcare plan that makes sense,

1041
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: that people can understand, and that will make things better,

1042
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 1: and that means increasingly market based dollars follow where the

1043
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: patient wants them to go, not where the system wants

1044
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 1: it to go. More on this they'll coming up later

1045
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 1: in the week. I assure you any small town, any

1046
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 1: big city in this country, walk up to a citizen,

1047
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 1: walk up to a person on the street and ask him,

1048
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 1: do you think on the census we should ask a

1049
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: citizenship question and their response will be yes. This is

1050
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: so common sense, but everyone gets it except Democrats in

1051
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 1: the United States. Cont We've been considering all the options,

1052
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 1: and I've been in constant discussions with the President ever

1053
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 1: since the Supreme Court decision came down, and I think

1054
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 1: over the next day or two you'll see what approach

1055
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: we're taking. I think it does provide a pathway for

1056
01:02:56,240 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 1: getting the question on the census. How is it that

1057
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 1: any serious person in our government or in our media

1058
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 1: could oppose having more data about who is in this

1059
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 1: country and what their status is. Just step back for

1060
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: a moment, this whole census issue now, and there's the

1061
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: judges and that they said that they didn't like the

1062
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: Trump administration's rationale for this. I don't think that that's

1063
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 1: something that judges should be weighing in on. Where does

1064
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 1: that end? Well, this is legal, but we don't like.

1065
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 1: We don't like why you're doing it, even though it's

1066
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 1: legal for you to do it. So we're gonna say

1067
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: you can't do this. I'm sorry that that's not the

1068
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: role of federal judges. Is it legal as a constitutional

1069
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 1: that's it. There shouldn't be this. Well, the thought processes

1070
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: that went into this we don't like, so therefore you

1071
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 1: can't do it. Now, the administration may still try to

1072
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 1: find a way to get their bar As Attorney General,

1073
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: bar is saying that this may in fact still happen.

1074
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 1: There will be a sensus question here, But keep in

1075
01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: mind most recent polling shows that a majority of his

1076
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 1: Bannic Americans want there to be a sense this question.

1077
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 1: So you know when we hear, oh, it's so racist,

1078
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: it's so racist, Why is it racist? We just want

1079
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 1: to know who is here, and we're supposed to know

1080
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: who is here. In fact, understanding who's in your country

1081
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 1: and making individuals, you know, making your citizens countable is

1082
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 1: a very basic function of the state. That's a there's

1083
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 1: the reason for it being in the constitution. We've got

1084
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 1: to know who's here so we can apportion proper funds

1085
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 1: and representation. And it's not just the Democrats see this

1086
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 1: as an opportunity. You know that they're gonna say it's

1087
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 1: all about jerry mannering. But jerry mannering is never gonna stop.

1088
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: There'll always be jerry mandering because there's no such thing.

1089
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 1: Just like there's no truly objective news story that can't

1090
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: that cannot exist. There's no such thing as a truly

1091
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: objective news story. There there can all be honesty about

1092
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 1: one's perspective, and from a news organization, there can never

1093
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: be a truly neutral district. Congressional districts will always favor

1094
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: a little bit one side or the other, so they're

1095
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 1: not going to get rid of Jerrymannery. They say that

1096
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: it's going to have less participation, even though this question

1097
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 1: has been on the census in the past. They say

1098
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 1: that it's because they'll be less participation. But to that,

1099
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 1: I just say, they don't know that. That's just a guess.

1100
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 1: It's you know, they don't know that that's going to

1101
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 1: be the case. And plus people could just you know,

1102
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: they could lie or just answer it or not answer it,

1103
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: or any number of things. That doesn't strike me as true.

1104
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 1: Here's what is true here, Here's what I see at

1105
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: the very the very heart of this. That is they

1106
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: do not want us to have a better sense of

1107
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 1: how many illegals are in the country. Now. I don't

1108
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 1: know if the census would necessarily get us those answers right,

1109
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 1: because right now we rely on old census data for

1110
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 1: the for the number of illegals. That's always what's that

1111
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 1: is always what they say with the eleven million number,

1112
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 1: it's based on census data. Okay, well that was at

1113
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 1: a minimum ten years ago. But I think that there's

1114
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 1: a very real concern, and it's not just a Democrat concern.

1115
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 1: I think there is a concern throughout the bureaucracy, the

1116
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 1: federal government's bureaucracy, and even it could even affect the

1117
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: perception in the judiciary. And that if the American people

1118
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 1: really found out how many illegals are in this country,

1119
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 1: they would completely completely freak out because they would know

1120
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 1: the one they've been lied to all this time. And two,

1121
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: the federal government has been asleep at the switch while

1122
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 1: there has been a massive, a massive infusion dare I say,

1123
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 1: invasion of illegal immigrants in the United States that is

1124
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 1: transforming and will transform the character of this country for

1125
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 1: many decades to come. Think about it this way. Anybody

1126
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:08,480
Speaker 1: that came here illegally, they're children. They're gonna think, well,

1127
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 1: my mom or my dad came here illegally, and so

1128
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: whichever political party tells me that's fine, they're gonna want

1129
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: to vote for that party. So you got built in

1130
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 1: Democratic voters. They're gonna want to believe it their version

1131
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 1: of the American dream, the I came here illegally, but

1132
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 1: that's fine. Whoever tells them that that's the case is

1133
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: going to have their political allegiance. So this is this

1134
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: is going to change the electorate in that sense. This

1135
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 1: is going to make a major shift in the overall

1136
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 1: political map. And they know this right, and they know

1137
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 1: that that's this is why Democrats don't want the crisis

1138
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 1: of the border to stop. But something as straightforward as

1139
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: a census, Democrats fight tooth and nail because they don't

1140
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: want the data. Remember we talked about yesterday, Can the

1141
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 1: data be racist? Democrats will say, yes, some data, just

1142
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 1: the collection of facts that can be racist. Here they

1143
01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: think that the collection of census data is somehow racist

1144
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: or rooted in racism. I really do just want to

1145
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:08,920
Speaker 1: know as much as we can know about who is

1146
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: in this country, what household the household is going on.

1147
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 1: I would like us to know that. But the Democrats

1148
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:16,600
Speaker 1: do not want us to know, and that's why they

1149
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 1: fight so hard on the census question. I hope that

1150
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 1: Barr has a way they can get this through the process.

1151
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 1: I saw today that the team, the legal team that

1152
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: they want to use is no longer a judge, a

1153
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 1: federal judge of Obama appoint to each as Trump tweeted out,

1154
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,719
Speaker 1: is saying that they can't switch out the DJ legal

1155
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:38,439
Speaker 1: team on this issue at the last second. So maybe

1156
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 1: they'll just add to the team instead, or but it's

1157
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: always procedurally. You'll notice Democrats are so good. It's unfortunate,

1158
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:48,600
Speaker 1: but it's true. They're so good at using the process

1159
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 1: as its own political weapon. You know, I always tell

1160
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 1: you that the process is the punishment. That was true

1161
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 1: during the Muller probe. But you know, these different Obama

1162
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 1: appointee judges they'll find some interpretation of statute where oh,

1163
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 1: even if you can do this, you know, the notification

1164
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 1: procedures in place for it are wrong, or oh there's

1165
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:09,599
Speaker 1: you know, this is like saying, you know, all your

1166
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:11,680
Speaker 1: all your mortgage paperwork for the houses in order, but

1167
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 1: you didn't cross this t on page seventy two. So

1168
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:17,599
Speaker 1: we're just going to say that your house, your contract

1169
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: for this house is no on and void. Now because

1170
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 1: this is improper. You know, there's there's a real bad

1171
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 1: faith approach to the law and to the bureaucracy from

1172
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 1: the left, and they feel completely justified in it. They

1173
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 1: don't think that they're abut or rather, even if they

1174
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:39,920
Speaker 1: recognize that it's abusive, they think that the abuse is

1175
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 1: justified because Trump. You know, this is like what we

1176
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 1: see with the whole Twitter victory for people that sued

1177
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 1: Trump saying that it's a First Amendment violation for Trump

1178
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:55,760
Speaker 1: to block them on Twitter. Okay, well, now guess what

1179
01:09:56,080 --> 01:10:00,679
Speaker 1: that's not. There's no special presidential First Amendment. Now that's

1180
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 1: the first Amendment for any public figure who works for

1181
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 1: the government, any government figure. So AOC better on block

1182
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: all the conservatives out there that are coming after her

1183
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Can't can't curate her feed anymore. You know,

1184
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 1: think of all the all the frivolous lawsuits and stupidity.

1185
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:18,680
Speaker 1: You know, but the left never thinks about the long

1186
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 1: term damage to the law. They just want the short

1187
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 1: term victory. They want that thrill of a judge slapping

1188
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 1: down Trump, because that's what Trump's arrangement syndrome does. It

1189
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 1: makes you think short term only. I think that I

1190
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 1: would say that your message is excluding people. You're excluding me,

1191
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 1: You're excluding people that look like me, You're excluding people

1192
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:41,479
Speaker 1: of color, You're excluding you know, Americans that that maybe

1193
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 1: support you. I think that we need to have a

1194
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:49,320
Speaker 1: reckoning with the message that you have and what you're

1195
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: saying about make America great again. I think that you're

1196
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 1: HARKing back to an era that was not great for everyone.

1197
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:56,720
Speaker 1: It might have been great for a few people, and

1198
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 1: maybe America is great for a few people right now,

1199
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: but it's not great for enough Americans in this world.

1200
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 1: And I think that we have a responsibility, each and

1201
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 1: every one of us. You have an incredible responsibility, as

1202
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, the chief of this country, to take care

1203
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:15,679
Speaker 1: of every single person, and you need to do better

1204
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 1: for everyone. That's a Miss Rappino of the winning World

1205
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 1: Cup women's national team soccer team, and she's saying that

1206
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 1: Trump excludes people. I would prefer it, honestly, if if

1207
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 1: people were going to say that Trump Trump has a

1208
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:42,640
Speaker 1: message of exclusivity, if they could just cite how he

1209
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 1: is being, how he's excluding them, or what he has

1210
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:49,640
Speaker 1: said that is excluding them. You know, from the LGBTQ

1211
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 1: community in particular. There's a little bit of a disconnect

1212
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:55,600
Speaker 1: your folks, and I need I need explained to me,

1213
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: or I need someone to try and explain. I think

1214
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:01,480
Speaker 1: they would fail if they tried, but they could. Trump

1215
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:04,479
Speaker 1: is the first president who have ever during his campaign

1216
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: stood on stage more than once and waived the gay

1217
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:12,640
Speaker 1: pride flag, held it up at a campaign event, and

1218
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 1: run as somebody who is in favor of the continuation

1219
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,599
Speaker 1: of gay marriage or in favor of gay marriage. He's

1220
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 1: the first president ever Barack Obama did not run, and

1221
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 1: he ran as a traditional marriage candidate. I guess he

1222
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 1: was a bigot then, but then they forgave him. But

1223
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:34,840
Speaker 1: Trump is the first president who ever enter office as

1224
01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 1: as somebody who is in favor of gay marriage, and

1225
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 1: yet we're told that he is so excludes people from

1226
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:47,120
Speaker 1: the LGBTQ community. How so what does he say? What

1227
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 1: has Trump ever said as president or during his campaign

1228
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 1: that was anti gay or excluded the gay community. I'm wondering.

1229
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:01,800
Speaker 1: I follow this very closely, and if they're going to

1230
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:05,639
Speaker 1: say that he that his administration is not on board

1231
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 1: with a lot of the transgender agenda items, I would

1232
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 1: just say, well, those are changing all the time, and

1233
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:14,640
Speaker 1: not even Democrats know what those rules are supposed to

1234
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:16,719
Speaker 1: be because they're making them up as they go along,

1235
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 1: and they've gone comple I mean, it's gotten completely out

1236
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:23,080
Speaker 1: of control. I saw a tweet last night from a

1237
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:25,679
Speaker 1: Blue check journalist I cannot remember her name. It said

1238
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 1: that there's something called trans babies, that babies can be

1239
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:32,639
Speaker 1: transgender babies don't have a sexual orientation, they're just babies.

1240
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 1: Trans babies. She says, how would you even know if

1241
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 1: that was a thing. This is this is where it's going.

1242
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 1: And this is also why you have, you know, twelve

1243
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:46,600
Speaker 1: year old drag queens who are being feted, being celebrated

1244
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:49,920
Speaker 1: in the media as this is some some form of

1245
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:54,680
Speaker 1: expression that we all need to we all need to

1246
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:57,839
Speaker 1: think is great and if we don't, you're a bigot. Anyway,

1247
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 1: Trump is, they're he is when he says he's not

1248
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 1: treated fairly. One of the reasons that residents because he's

1249
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 1: not he's not treated fairly on these issues. And Rapino, Look,

1250
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you know, women's soccer, it's just we just

1251
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 1: don't care that much. You know, it doesn't make that

1252
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:17,160
Speaker 1: much money. It's not as it's just not as competitive

1253
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 1: as a lot of other sports on a global scale.

1254
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 1: It's just not I mean, they can get all, oh

1255
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: but they lost to the fourteen year old men's national team,

1256
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 1: So you can't talk to me about all this stuff

1257
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: and not factor that into the analysis somehow. But then

1258
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 1: when when it's when it comes time to figure out

1259
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:38,799
Speaker 1: what should what should happen next? Now that the women's

1260
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 1: national team is getting all this attention, what should happen next?

1261
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:45,560
Speaker 1: Here is what means Rappino says, people need to do

1262
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:47,720
Speaker 1: to be part of the movement, man, and be part

1263
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 1: of like what the good people are doing. Play three, Well,

1264
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:53,880
Speaker 1: it's immediately following the final whistle. You get that USA

1265
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:57,519
Speaker 1: USA chance. But equal pay, equal pay, along that same cadence. Yeah,

1266
01:14:57,520 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 1: I think fans want to know what they can do

1267
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 1: to support that right. Fans can come to games. Obviously

1268
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 1: the national team games will be a hot ticket, but

1269
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:08,600
Speaker 1: we have nine teams in the NWSL. You can go

1270
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 1: to your league games. You can support that way. You can,

1271
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, buy players jerseys, you can lend your support

1272
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: in that way. You can tell your friends about it,

1273
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:21,080
Speaker 1: you can become season ticket holders. I think in terms

1274
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:24,759
Speaker 1: of that, that's the easiest way for fans to get involved.

1275
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:31,680
Speaker 1: Buy my stuff, she says, pay for our jerseys, or

1276
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:37,240
Speaker 1: buy our jerseys, get season tickets commerce. Now, I have

1277
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:39,960
Speaker 1: to say I like that answer in the sense that

1278
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 1: it is in fact a call to capitalism and to

1279
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:47,719
Speaker 1: free enterprise and choice and individuals making their own decisions

1280
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:50,680
Speaker 1: about their own pocketbooks. So I like all of that.

1281
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:55,599
Speaker 1: I'm in favor of all of that. But she seems

1282
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:57,800
Speaker 1: to miss the point here, which is, while it's fine

1283
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 1: to say, hey, board us more so we make more

1284
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 1: money so than we can get closer to equal pay.

1285
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:06,960
Speaker 1: It's not that they should just get equal pay, which

1286
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 1: has been the rallying cry all along that they're underpaid.

1287
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:15,799
Speaker 1: They're not underpaid, they are overpaid. Payment as it relates

1288
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: to the revenue they bring in is higher for the

1289
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:21,599
Speaker 1: women than it is for the men. The men's national

1290
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 1: team makes a whole lot more money. We've already been

1291
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:29,000
Speaker 1: through this, you know this. But oh, the media absolutely

1292
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 1: thinks they are fantastic. They could not be more on

1293
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:38,720
Speaker 1: board for this team. You know, if you don't want to,

1294
01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:39,840
Speaker 1: if you don't want to hear from me on this.

1295
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 1: You know who had some great stuff to say about

1296
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 1: this back in twenty fifteen, the MMA superstar female who

1297
01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:51,040
Speaker 1: was more highly paid than any male, Ronda Rowsey. She

1298
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 1: understands commerce and capitalism and free markets. Apparently play this

1299
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:59,639
Speaker 1: is Ronda Rowsey, Play nineteen. We've got quite a large

1300
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 1: pay dispute happening with our Australian women's soccer team at

1301
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:07,160
Speaker 1: the moment. Is it frustrating for you as someone who's

1302
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 1: so prominent in your sport? And we heard you say

1303
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:11,680
Speaker 1: on the Ellen show the other day, you are the

1304
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 1: richest fighter in ufcay that that sort of thing is

1305
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:16,880
Speaker 1: still going on. I think that how much you get

1306
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:19,760
Speaker 1: paid should have something to do with how much money

1307
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: you bring in. I'm the highest paid fighter or not

1308
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 1: because Dina and Lorenzo wanted to do something nice to

1309
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:29,640
Speaker 1: the ladies. They do it because I bring in the

1310
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:31,600
Speaker 1: highest numbers. They do it because I make them the

1311
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: most money. And I think that the money that they

1312
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 1: make should be proportionate to the money that they bring in.

1313
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:42,560
Speaker 1: Rhonda Rousy must be such a sexist part of the patriarchy,

1314
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 1: or she understands basic economics and how markets function. Maybe

1315
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: maybe that's what it is. So let's just all stop

1316
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:54,080
Speaker 1: at the social justice I am a woman, hear me,

1317
01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 1: roar nonsense from the women's national team here, and get

1318
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 1: into reality. And reality is they're overpaid. The moments kneeling

1319
01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 1: were difficult for you, Yeah, it was. It was it

1320
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 1: was people's reaction or a little bit. Yeah, obviously knowing

1321
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, especially after the first time that I did it,

1322
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, knowing how angry people were. But also it

1323
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:24,439
Speaker 1: was difficult and heavy, But I had this immense sense

1324
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 1: of pride and responsibility in doing that. So I think

1325
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 1: that's where the strength of doing it a number of

1326
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 1: times came from a sense of pride and responsibility. US

1327
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:38,839
Speaker 1: women's national team player there, Megan Rapino says of kneeling

1328
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:43,200
Speaker 1: during the national anthem. I want to bring on a SuperPatriot,

1329
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 1: my friends, now, somebody who can weigh in on this

1330
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 1: as well as everything else going on in the world

1331
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:51,559
Speaker 1: around us. We have our friend Evan Hayfer joining us now.

1332
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:54,680
Speaker 1: He is a veteran of the Special Operations community, and

1333
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:58,560
Speaker 1: he's also the CEO of Black Rifle Coffee, a fantastic

1334
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:02,600
Speaker 1: and very loyal sponsor here on the show. That is

1335
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 1: the coffee I drink every day. So Evan, thank you

1336
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 1: for making delicious coffee and for your services country sir.

1337
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:10,799
Speaker 1: It's my pleasure. Thanks a lot, Buck. I definitely appreciate

1338
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 1: the opportunity to come on. It's always a pleasure to

1339
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 1: talk to you and talk to everybody that listens to

1340
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 1: the show. Somebody tell me a bit about what's your

1341
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:22,679
Speaker 1: reaction to the attention. I mean, obviously now the left

1342
01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:26,439
Speaker 1: wing members of the US national soccer team women's team

1343
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 1: are getting all kinds of attention. I'm not even sure

1344
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:31,479
Speaker 1: that is Rapino even one of the best players. I

1345
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:34,200
Speaker 1: have no idea, but she's certainly the most famous. Right now,

1346
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:36,040
Speaker 1: what do you think of people that think that that

1347
01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 1: feel pride at kneeling during the anthem? I guess I

1348
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 1: think the first question that I have to ask is, so,

1349
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 1: why are you playing for the US soccer team If

1350
01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 1: you're going to kneel during the national anthem? I just

1351
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 1: have to wonder, well, why are you playing for the

1352
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:56,400
Speaker 1: team to begin with? There's so much shame in what

1353
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 1: we do in the national anthem, and why do we

1354
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:03,160
Speaker 1: not just immediately say, great, your job here is over.

1355
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:06,519
Speaker 1: If you can't respect the flag, if you can't respect

1356
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 1: the national anthem. I think it's pretty cut and dry.

1357
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:10,600
Speaker 1: For me. It's black and white. Doesn't make sense that

1358
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:13,640
Speaker 1: she even plays for the team. Yeah, I have to

1359
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:19,280
Speaker 1: wonder at what point does anti Americanism conflict with representing

1360
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:22,639
Speaker 1: America on the world stage as as an athlete. Everyone

1361
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 1: gets all confused here about the First Amendment. The First

1362
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:26,559
Speaker 1: Amendment doesn't mean that you can say whatever you want

1363
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:28,720
Speaker 1: and no one else can take action based upon It

1364
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 1: just means the government can't take action, right, Yeah, it

1365
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 1: doesn't it really doesn't make sense to me. I think

1366
01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:39,240
Speaker 1: this is kind of a from my perspective, I think

1367
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 1: this is just a way for people to garner attention

1368
01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:43,720
Speaker 1: at this point, right, So they're wanting to try to

1369
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 1: gather some form of attention from the progressive left and

1370
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, to pedestal themselves into some heroic position where

1371
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 1: in allectuality. It's just kind of idiotic. So, like the

1372
01:20:56,800 --> 01:21:00,479
Speaker 1: entire thing from her perspective, just seems a little bit

1373
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:04,800
Speaker 1: when I see this, it's controversial and it seems exploitive

1374
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:08,559
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, I gotta say, there's all the whole

1375
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:10,680
Speaker 1: equal pay thing. We've already we've been going over that

1376
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,559
Speaker 1: on the show quite a bit. They get unequal pay

1377
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 1: in their favor actually, So I don't know what at

1378
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 1: what point do people have to face up to that reality.

1379
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: But I also, you know, I didn't get a chance

1380
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:24,680
Speaker 1: on the show to speak about a controversy from just

1381
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:26,439
Speaker 1: a just a few what was it just a few

1382
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:30,280
Speaker 1: days ago now, where you had a number of a

1383
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 1: Starbucks barista asked police officers to leave because the barista

1384
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 1: this was in Phoenix, did not feel safe as a

1385
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:41,719
Speaker 1: result of officers being there. This strikes me as as

1386
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:45,760
Speaker 1: as a new phenomenon really or newer where now it's

1387
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: not even just blaming cops whenever there's a situation with

1388
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:52,920
Speaker 1: use of force involved, but cops now create their own

1389
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:56,640
Speaker 1: feeling of unsafeness among some of the woke crowd. This

1390
01:21:56,840 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 1: is a surprise. This is uh, you know, I it's

1391
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:05,479
Speaker 1: it's a surprise that there's a certain portion of me

1392
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:09,800
Speaker 1: where I think this is just part of the progressive

1393
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:14,200
Speaker 1: left narrative right there. They're they're they're gathering support, and

1394
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 1: what they do is they inflate these incidents. And when

1395
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: I say this, you know, the overwhelming statistic with support

1396
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 1: that police officers, among all of their interactions with the

1397
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:29,599
Speaker 1: public are overwhelmingly positive. They protect and serve America every day. Uh.

1398
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:32,719
Speaker 1: The amount of corruption within law enforcement is is really

1399
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 1: insignificant compared to other places in the world. And this

1400
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:42,040
Speaker 1: to me seems it just emphasizes this cultural divide between

1401
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:45,400
Speaker 1: uh we could say on the on the left and

1402
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 1: the right, and the cultural divide between companies. And that's

1403
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:51,599
Speaker 1: why I always say we have to vote with our dollars.

1404
01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:54,599
Speaker 1: We have to support the companies that support the people

1405
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:57,560
Speaker 1: and the things that we believe in Uh, this just

1406
01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:02,960
Speaker 1: exaggerates and as an exam ample of how Starbucks and

1407
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: other corporations they're they're not publicly as they did last

1408
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 1: year year before. You know, they shut down their stores

1409
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 1: for sensitivity training when they when they kicked out to

1410
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 1: unpaying patrons. And for me, I'm looking out at saying

1411
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 1: that's that's fantastic that we did that two years ago.

1412
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 1: But where are and why are we not shutting down

1413
01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:31,080
Speaker 1: your stores now for sensitivity training towards police officers. And

1414
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:34,519
Speaker 1: I think what it is is it just shows that

1415
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:38,680
Speaker 1: there's a big divide culturally and corporations in America and

1416
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:41,880
Speaker 1: those that are patriotic and support law enforcement, military and

1417
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 1: those that really don't. They just pay lip service and

1418
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 1: they support a very progressive narrative within their companies and

1419
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:54,000
Speaker 1: then outward facing. Two. Yeah, and part of your brand

1420
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 1: promise that Black Rifle Coffee is support for the veteran

1421
01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 1: and first responder in law enforcement community. So at least

1422
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 1: people can stop in a Black Rifle store and know

1423
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 1: that no one's going to say that they feel unsafe

1424
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 1: because there are cops there. No we you know, the

1425
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:10,680
Speaker 1: funny thing is we have I just walked in through

1426
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 1: my coffee shop today here in Salt Lake. There were

1427
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:18,680
Speaker 1: two soldiers and a law enforcement officer literally standing at

1428
01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:20,800
Speaker 1: the front door. When I say that there, they were

1429
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:24,160
Speaker 1: talking in front of the shop. I sat and had

1430
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:26,599
Speaker 1: a small conversation before I went in. There are law

1431
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 1: enforcement and military officers here every day, and it's part

1432
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 1: of our ethos, it's part of who we are. What

1433
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:35,599
Speaker 1: I say is it's it's it's not pr it's who

1434
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:38,320
Speaker 1: we are. And there's no person in Black Rifle that

1435
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:42,320
Speaker 1: would ever think that would be It would be incomprehendable

1436
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:44,479
Speaker 1: for them to think that they should ever ask a

1437
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 1: police officer to leave because a customer feels unsafe. We

1438
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 1: would ask the customer to leave before we ever we

1439
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 1: ever had that idea to tell a police officer, a

1440
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:59,320
Speaker 1: group of police officers to leave. It's it's really unimaginable

1441
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 1: to me. And one question I want to just throw

1442
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 1: to you, Evan before let you get back to running

1443
01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:07,840
Speaker 1: the Black Rifle Empire. I've had I had on our

1444
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:09,960
Speaker 1: mutual friend Tyler Merritt from nine Line to tell me

1445
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 1: what he thought about the Eddie Gallagher you know, near

1446
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:17,559
Speaker 1: exoneration or at least you know the the beating all

1447
01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 1: but the most minor single charge of all the charges

1448
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:23,559
Speaker 1: against him. What was your take on that whole situation?

1449
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:26,040
Speaker 1: It seemed to a lot of outside observers, people who

1450
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:28,360
Speaker 1: don't have a mill background, they see this, they say,

1451
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 1: there are guys from within his own unit speaking out

1452
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:32,559
Speaker 1: against him. The press seemed to be trying him before

1453
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:34,680
Speaker 1: the facts even came out. Just what was your take

1454
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 1: on the whole Eddie Gallagher Navy Seal prosecution. You know,

1455
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 1: before and during I really had a lot of faith

1456
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:48,759
Speaker 1: in the process. I felt like, whether you know guilty

1457
01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:53,560
Speaker 1: or innocent, the process will work. And I think that

1458
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 1: I was right, which was I didn't know enough about

1459
01:25:56,200 --> 01:26:00,160
Speaker 1: the situation in order to weigh in on it. And

1460
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:02,240
Speaker 1: when I read through it, and I read a lot

1461
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 1: of the articles and I listened to a lot of

1462
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 1: podcasts on it, the problem was it was so gray.

1463
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:12,320
Speaker 1: And when I say that, you had a lot of

1464
01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:16,080
Speaker 1: people from his teams that were speaking out against and

1465
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 1: then there are a lot of guys from his past

1466
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:21,880
Speaker 1: and his current teams that were pro So for me,

1467
01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it saying, you know what, I really

1468
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:29,439
Speaker 1: think the process will prove his innocence or his guilt

1469
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:33,600
Speaker 1: and the process worked. You know, this is part of

1470
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:38,360
Speaker 1: what makes the country great. We've got a fairly comprehensive

1471
01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:41,639
Speaker 1: process for people that should be innocent until proven guilty,

1472
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:44,040
Speaker 1: and they are. I think this is one of the

1473
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:48,519
Speaker 1: cases where once again I think the media, especially the

1474
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:54,560
Speaker 1: left and progressive media, they're hungry to try people in

1475
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:58,040
Speaker 1: the public eye, put information out that open only excused

1476
01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:02,200
Speaker 1: public opinion and can tarnished the reputation of special operations

1477
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 1: the United States military. I think this is part of

1478
01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 1: the media agenda. Now that's not me being a conspiracy theorist.

1479
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:12,320
Speaker 1: I think this is the way the progressive left. I

1480
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:15,080
Speaker 1: think this is the way they think they want to

1481
01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 1: tarnish the reputation of the American service member, the American

1482
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:23,240
Speaker 1: involvement in some of these foreign countries, and they want this.

1483
01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 1: They're hungry to see something that isn't there. And this

1484
01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:30,719
Speaker 1: is just one for instance where I think the process

1485
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:35,040
Speaker 1: worked in favor of the person that was innocent. I mean,

1486
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:38,360
Speaker 1: any black Rifle initiatives or in black Rifle coffee events

1487
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:41,080
Speaker 1: coming up you want to tell the audience about, yeah, absolutely,

1488
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 1: through the twelfth you know what we did is in

1489
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:47,720
Speaker 1: everyday here at Black Rifle, we give free coffee law

1490
01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:50,479
Speaker 1: enforcement anytime they walk through the doors. Law enforce and

1491
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 1: military personnel, they're always welcome, they always get free coffee.

1492
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 1: We're doing a buy back, give a back initiative right now,

1493
01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 1: which is you buy back coffee from Black Rifle. We're

1494
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 1: shipping out to all fifty states local federal law enforcement.

1495
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:07,000
Speaker 1: Keep them caffeinated, keep them working, keep him out on

1496
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:09,520
Speaker 1: the street, protecting us, serving America and all our communities.

1497
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:13,320
Speaker 1: So we're trying to donate as much coffee as we

1498
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:16,599
Speaker 1: can to the American law enforcement community on the next

1499
01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:18,280
Speaker 1: all the way through the end of the week, so

1500
01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:21,400
Speaker 1: all the way through the twelfth All right, Evan, Hey

1501
01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:25,639
Speaker 1: for everybody, CEO of Black Rifle Coffee Special Operations, Veteran Evan,

1502
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:27,360
Speaker 1: thanks so much, my friend. Always good to have you

1503
01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:30,519
Speaker 1: on the show. Great, great to be here. Thanks a lot, Buck,

1504
01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:32,920
Speaker 1: I appreciate a lot. All right, team, we'll be right back.

1505
01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 1: There are some controversies that are so stupid it's hard

1506
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:41,000
Speaker 1: to believe that anyone really thinks that they're worthy of attention.

1507
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:45,080
Speaker 1: But now, because we live in an era of the

1508
01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:49,439
Speaker 1: hyper politicization of all things, always and all the time.

1509
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:55,519
Speaker 1: Sure enough air conditioning, my friends, that's right, Your AC

1510
01:28:55,960 --> 01:29:02,400
Speaker 1: unit is an instrument of oppression and the patriarchy. I

1511
01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:07,559
Speaker 1: kid you not. This got some attention over the Fourth

1512
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:11,640
Speaker 1: of July holiday because there and this is not the

1513
01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:14,720
Speaker 1: first time. This stretches back for a while people are

1514
01:29:14,760 --> 01:29:21,080
Speaker 1: saying that air conditioning is sexist? Do Americans need air conditioning?

1515
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 1: An article in The New York Times asked by Penelope

1516
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:29,360
Speaker 1: Green right before Fourth of July, and then Jacobin Magazine,

1517
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:33,880
Speaker 1: which is far left, rights freezing workers of the world unite.

1518
01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 1: Millions of you are suffering and overly air conditioned workplaces

1519
01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:40,400
Speaker 1: right now. Remember this isn't about remembering to wear an

1520
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:44,080
Speaker 1: extra sweater at work. It's class war. Workers should be

1521
01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:48,760
Speaker 1: in control of office temperatures, not bosses. How much how

1522
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:52,360
Speaker 1: much crazier are things going to get before there's a

1523
01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:57,320
Speaker 1: recognition that we don't really we don't really need to

1524
01:29:57,520 --> 01:29:59,880
Speaker 1: do this anymore, that this doesn't need to be a thing,

1525
01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:06,439
Speaker 1: That we don't have to accept the politicization of everything

1526
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 1: and at all times, um, I gotta tell you, they

1527
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:13,840
Speaker 1: really believe this, you know, you may, I can. I

1528
01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:17,160
Speaker 1: can make a lot of jokes about this, but here

1529
01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:21,160
Speaker 1: we go, Taylor and I will Taylor Lorenz. Who's at

1530
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:24,000
Speaker 1: the Daily Beast, I think, which is like woke woke

1531
01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:26,280
Speaker 1: dot com. I mean it's just all Oh no, she's

1532
01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:29,360
Speaker 1: at The Atlantic. I'm sorry, I don't know, which is

1533
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:32,200
Speaker 1: also woke dot com. She tweeted out that air conditioning

1534
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 1: is unhealthy, bad, miserable, and sexist, and that's got a

1535
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:39,840
Speaker 1: lot of attention. Why is air conditioning sexist? Let's break

1536
01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:44,720
Speaker 1: this down, folks, because men prefer a cooler temperature and

1537
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:50,720
Speaker 1: women prefer it warmer, mostly because of their office appropriate

1538
01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:54,479
Speaker 1: dress code, office appropriate attire. And I can tell you

1539
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:56,560
Speaker 1: this first of all, men having to wear suits in

1540
01:30:56,640 --> 01:30:59,960
Speaker 1: the summer is cruel and unusual. It's it's our verse

1541
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:01,760
Speaker 1: having to wear high heels, and we don't want to.

1542
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you there is no such thing as

1543
01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:06,479
Speaker 1: a summer suit. It is a lie. It does not exist.

1544
01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:09,160
Speaker 1: Any suit that claims to be a summer suit. When

1545
01:31:09,160 --> 01:31:12,719
Speaker 1: you're in the sun, trust me. You start sweating uncontrol.

1546
01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:14,840
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's sear, sucker, I don't care

1547
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:19,080
Speaker 1: if it's linen. You're gonna sweat, sweat and sweat some more.

1548
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:24,120
Speaker 1: All right, So, so start with that air conditioning is

1549
01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:26,760
Speaker 1: the only thing that will make you, when you're wearing

1550
01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:30,799
Speaker 1: a suit in summertime, be reasonably comfortable. And I'm sorry, ladies,

1551
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:33,640
Speaker 1: but you know, pardon me for being an agent of

1552
01:31:33,720 --> 01:31:37,600
Speaker 1: the patriarchy here, but if you are cold, putting on

1553
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:40,280
Speaker 1: a sweatshirt is an option. If you're a dude wearing

1554
01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:43,200
Speaker 1: slacks and a blazer, or even slacks in a long

1555
01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:46,880
Speaker 1: long shirt, you what are your options? Are we allowed

1556
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:50,840
Speaker 1: to walk around in our undershirts. It's really hard. It's

1557
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:54,479
Speaker 1: really hard to layer down. It's very easy to layer up.

1558
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:59,320
Speaker 1: And this, this idea that an air and an unair

1559
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:01,519
Speaker 1: conditioned is something that in a lot of the country

1560
01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:04,080
Speaker 1: you would want. This is crazy, all right, this is

1561
01:32:04,120 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 1: completely I mean, producer, Mike, it's a nice what is it.

1562
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:09,280
Speaker 1: It's like sixty eight there in the New York office.

1563
01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:12,479
Speaker 1: That's the way it should be. This is crazy. You know,

1564
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:15,200
Speaker 1: there was a power outage in my building in DC recently.

1565
01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:17,519
Speaker 1: We had no AC overnight. And I tell you it's

1566
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:19,600
Speaker 1: hard to sleep when it's ninety degrees outside and you

1567
01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:22,120
Speaker 1: have no air conditioning inside. This is crazy. But this

1568
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:25,360
Speaker 1: is more than anything else. It's just a reminder that

1569
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:27,560
Speaker 1: people want to make everything political all the time, and

1570
01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:31,360
Speaker 1: saying that it's sexist is just being whiny. All right.

1571
01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:36,560
Speaker 1: The appropriate response to offices or air conditioned is I

1572
01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:39,360
Speaker 1: will wear a sweater or a sweatshirt or another layer

1573
01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:43,200
Speaker 1: and not be cold. I don't because what else are

1574
01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:45,880
Speaker 1: we gonna do. Also, if you're a little cold, you

1575
01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:49,120
Speaker 1: can still function. If you are sitting at a desk

1576
01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:53,200
Speaker 1: hot and sweaty and dripping with sweat, you can't do it. Mark,

1577
01:32:53,240 --> 01:32:55,720
Speaker 1: Am I right? Or am I right? I mean I'm

1578
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:59,479
Speaker 1: a large, sweaty individual. Without air conditioning, I'd probably die. Right.

1579
01:33:00,200 --> 01:33:03,799
Speaker 1: Air Conditioning has made whole parts of the air Conditioning

1580
01:33:03,920 --> 01:33:06,000
Speaker 1: is a wonderful invention, made a whole parts of the

1581
01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:09,439
Speaker 1: world much more pleasant and inhabitable, and by the way,

1582
01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:13,479
Speaker 1: has saved especially when you factor in elderly people who

1583
01:33:13,479 --> 01:33:16,000
Speaker 1: will sometimes be in a home that can get very,

1584
01:33:16,120 --> 01:33:18,960
Speaker 1: very very hot, and they can overheat and die. Air Conditioning,

1585
01:33:19,080 --> 01:33:22,120
Speaker 1: this is not a joke, has saved thousands, perhaps tens

1586
01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:26,760
Speaker 1: of thousands of lives a year globally. Okay, So you know,

1587
01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:28,880
Speaker 1: if anybody doesn't realize this, go back and look at

1588
01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:32,679
Speaker 1: how many people died from the heat wave in France.

1589
01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:35,040
Speaker 1: Let me see if I can actually pull up the

1590
01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:39,679
Speaker 1: stat for you real quickly. Heatwave France debts. It was, yeah,

1591
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:42,760
Speaker 1: the two thousand and three European heat wave. People said,

1592
01:33:44,040 --> 01:33:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean this is they said, fifteen thousand debts is

1593
01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:49,360
Speaker 1: what it says here, all right, that's just from one

1594
01:33:49,439 --> 01:33:52,599
Speaker 1: heatwave in Europe. Air conditioning prevents that from happening all

1595
01:33:52,640 --> 01:33:55,720
Speaker 1: the time, folks. So the war on AC, just like

1596
01:33:55,880 --> 01:34:00,599
Speaker 1: the war on CO two, is something that people can

1597
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:03,439
Speaker 1: only believe who are self righteous, sanctimonious and don't really

1598
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 1: understand how things work. It is not the patriarchy. I

1599
01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:09,040
Speaker 1: know some ladies, by the way, who like it nice

1600
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:10,720
Speaker 1: and cold and like the AC on. So I don't

1601
01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:13,240
Speaker 1: know how this becomes a sexist thing. But you know,

1602
01:34:13,439 --> 01:34:14,880
Speaker 1: whenever you want to make an argument now on the

1603
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:16,640
Speaker 1: left and you want to try to get a leg up,

1604
01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:18,519
Speaker 1: you want to get an advantage, just make it about

1605
01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:23,560
Speaker 1: some is m somewhere right, sexism or the or the patriarchy.

1606
01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:35,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Hey, Team Buck, it's time for

1607
01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:51,439
Speaker 1: roll Call Rollall's where the roll gets called Facebook dot Com.

1614
01:35:06,840 --> 01:35:09,000
Speaker 1: not everyone wants to Facebook. And now that we're actually

1615
01:35:09,080 --> 01:35:12,400

Speaker 1: so to speak, Facebook, dot com, slashbuck Sex. It all right,

1626
01:35:35,680 --> 01:35:38,679
Speaker 1: here we go, Josh, Hey Buck, thanks for the words

1627
01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:40,640
Speaker 1: and remembrance for the late Ross Perot as he is

1628
01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:43,200
Speaker 1: a man that I greatly respect and followed When I

1629
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:46,880
Speaker 1: was a young boy gaining an interest in history and politics.

1630
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:49,800
Speaker 1: One of my favorite memories in elementary school was holding

1631
01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:52,519
Speaker 1: a mock election where we actually voted on the same

1632
01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:56,479
Speaker 1: equipment our parents would vote for. The first man I

1633
01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:59,760
Speaker 1: ever cast a ballot for would have been Ross p

1634
01:36:01,160 --> 01:36:03,240
Speaker 1: Thanks for all you do and have been listening to you,

1635
01:36:03,320 --> 01:36:06,000
Speaker 1: by the way, since the Blaze days. Also, can you

1636
01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:07,920
Speaker 1: look into issues in the Blaze Radio where sometimes your

1637
01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:09,840
Speaker 1: show is unable to stream and all I hear is

1638
01:36:09,880 --> 01:36:13,240
Speaker 1: commercials during the show. Josh, Well, Jess, thanks for being

1639
01:36:13,280 --> 01:36:17,240
Speaker 1: with me since Blaze days. And as for the platform there,

1640
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:18,920
Speaker 1: I'll have to write them an email and say, hey, guys,

1641
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:21,000
Speaker 1: what's going on. I'm not really sure. I gotta go

1642
01:36:21,040 --> 01:36:22,800
Speaker 1: down to visit my old buddy Glenn and Dallas. It's

1643
01:36:22,840 --> 01:36:24,439
Speaker 1: been a while. I gotta go check on the Glenster

1644
01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:29,719
Speaker 1: see how he's doing. And Yeah, as to Ross Pero,

1645
01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:33,479
Speaker 1: I totally appreciate what you wrote in Josh, and I

1646
01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:38,880
Speaker 1: saw some stuff today about how the last political act

1647
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:42,240
Speaker 1: that Ross Perot did was to write and I can't

1648
01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:45,400
Speaker 1: verify this beyond social media, but it's it rings true

1649
01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:48,479
Speaker 1: and if it's wrong, I'll correct it. But I saw

1650
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 1: that Ross Perot wrote check for Trump twenty twenty for

1651
01:36:53,240 --> 01:36:56,240
Speaker 1: the maximum amount, because I understand it that was one

1652
01:36:56,240 --> 01:36:58,400
Speaker 1: of the things so so Ross Perot was apparently on

1653
01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:06,800
Speaker 1: board the Trump training. Interesting stuff, Chris, Right here we go.

1654
01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:13,479
Speaker 1: Whoa hey Buck, longtime podcaster, But I have to say

1655
01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:15,840
Speaker 1: your way off regarding the father to call the police

1656
01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:19,920
Speaker 1: the guy tailgating in whose apartment building? I'm no security expert,

1657
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:22,120
Speaker 1: but I know enough about that tailgating that it is

1658
01:37:22,120 --> 01:37:26,720
Speaker 1: among the most most difficult security vulnerabilities for building complexes.

1659
01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:29,439
Speaker 1: Most people are nice and just let whoever through making

1660
01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:32,439
Speaker 1: the whole system irrelevant. Basic questioning and a call to

1661
01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:34,799
Speaker 1: the police is the right move. If your building doesn't

1662
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:38,760
Speaker 1: have dedicated security staff, especially in a city with the

1663
01:37:38,920 --> 01:37:43,240
Speaker 1: highest concentration of people googling Amazon package stolen, everyone into

1664
01:37:43,320 --> 01:37:45,840
Speaker 1: company or apartment building needs to be security minded. An

1665
01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:48,240
Speaker 1: eye for one would feel safer knowing that this man

1666
01:37:48,360 --> 01:37:51,040
Speaker 1: was among my neighbors. However, most people won't see it

1667
01:37:51,200 --> 01:37:53,519
Speaker 1: that way. After all, a sheep dog looks a lot

1668
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:56,040
Speaker 1: like a wolf. You also know this guy maybe having

1669
01:37:56,080 --> 01:37:59,160
Speaker 1: a bad day, but rather his father was killed several

1670
01:37:59,280 --> 01:38:05,840
Speaker 1: years ago by another person trying to enter a residence. Really,

1671
01:38:06,360 --> 01:38:08,439
Speaker 1: that doesn't change anything about whether you should or shouldn't

1672
01:38:08,439 --> 01:38:10,200
Speaker 1: have responded as you did, but it's but it speaks

1673
01:38:10,240 --> 01:38:12,599
Speaker 1: to what you're saying about cutting in some slack. When

1674
01:38:12,640 --> 01:38:14,479
Speaker 1: you walk into or out of a building, make sure

1675
01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:19,160
Speaker 1: everyone buzzes in and keep your shields high. Well, let

1676
01:38:19,240 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 1: me see this. This is very very interesting. Slain Berkeley

1677
01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:31,320
Speaker 1: man's famili says police share blame. Berkeley police, this is

1678
01:38:31,360 --> 01:38:34,840
Speaker 1: a This is a San Francisco chronicle from October twenty,

1679
01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:38,639
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. Berkeley police or probably to blame for slaying

1680
01:38:38,760 --> 01:38:42,439
Speaker 1: of a man who was bludgeoned by a mentally disturbed person,

1681
01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:46,040
Speaker 1: the victim's family said Friday, because officers weren't allowed to

1682
01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:49,160
Speaker 1: respond to his emergency call for help. The two grown

1683
01:38:49,360 --> 01:38:54,400
Speaker 1: sons of Peter Kukor sixty seven criticize the police department

1684
01:38:54,439 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 1: for failing to respond to their father's call for help

1685
01:38:56,920 --> 01:39:00,519
Speaker 1: about an intruder on his property. No that he had

1686
01:39:00,520 --> 01:39:02,720
Speaker 1: called the number that police described on their website as

1687
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:07,840
Speaker 1: an emergency line. I'm aware that police have stated they

1688
01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:10,160
Speaker 1: made no mistake and responded to my father's call for help.

1689
01:39:10,240 --> 01:39:12,839
Speaker 1: Christopher Kukor, thirty seven s that at a news conference,

1690
01:39:13,479 --> 01:39:17,280
Speaker 1: we find this very disturbing. No officers showed up before

1691
01:39:17,280 --> 01:39:20,400
Speaker 1: Peter Kucorps was killed in the driveway of his home

1692
01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 1: on Park Gate in the Berkeley Hills the night of

1693
01:39:23,120 --> 01:39:25,920
Speaker 1: February eighteenth. The department said it was responding only to

1694
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:28,320
Speaker 1: emergency calls as it deployed officers to what turned out

1695
01:39:28,360 --> 01:39:34,800
Speaker 1: to be a small occupy march. Let's see here, I'm

1696
01:39:34,840 --> 01:39:37,800
Speaker 1: trying to find out more. How do we know that?

1697
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:47,040
Speaker 1: Here we go? Victims widow devastated Peter Kucorps widow Andrew Kucorps. Sorry,

1698
01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:48,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how to pronounce this last name. C

1699
01:39:48,720 --> 01:39:51,280
Speaker 1: U k O R. Phone nine one one. His attack

1700
01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:54,439
Speaker 1: was in progress. Peter, who was one attack, called the

1701
01:39:54,439 --> 01:39:57,120
Speaker 1: police at a forty five PM. Told the dispatcher there

1702
01:39:57,200 --> 01:40:00,600
Speaker 1: was a young man hanging around my property, acting strangely.

1703
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:05,679
Speaker 1: He's looking for someone named Zoe. He's pretty spacey, Kukor

1704
01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:07,840
Speaker 1: told the dispatcher. He says that he lives here. He

1705
01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:09,960
Speaker 1: wants to come in, which is very strange. I'd like

1706
01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:16,160
Speaker 1: an officer up here right away. M residence in danger,

1707
01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:18,680
Speaker 1: Kukor said. Friday. Police never told his father the call

1708
01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:22,680
Speaker 1: is classified as a lower priority, he said, so how

1709
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:25,640
Speaker 1: do we know how do we know that this was

1710
01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:29,320
Speaker 1: the guy's father. That's very interesting and I'm just I'm

1711
01:40:29,360 --> 01:40:33,280
Speaker 1: just going on what we have here from our our

1712
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:36,960
Speaker 1: member of the team who has written in on this one.

1713
01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:41,200
Speaker 1: But it is a very very very interesting to note

1714
01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:43,640
Speaker 1: that this may have been what's going on here. I

1715
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:47,000
Speaker 1: did not did not have this. Certainly, this is what

1716
01:40:47,160 --> 01:40:50,800
Speaker 1: Chris is telling me. He's provided all these links. So Chris,

1717
01:40:50,920 --> 01:40:53,960
Speaker 1: I will take your facts as as presented right now.

1718
01:40:54,280 --> 01:40:57,439
Speaker 1: That is certainly noteworthy that if this individual's father was

1719
01:40:57,520 --> 01:40:59,679
Speaker 1: killed by an intruder on his property some years ago.

1720
01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:03,440
Speaker 1: I don't see where the because this guy wasn't identified

1721
01:41:03,520 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 1: in the video from what I understand. But look, I

1722
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:10,800
Speaker 1: try to be even handed or or fair minded in

1723
01:41:10,920 --> 01:41:13,880
Speaker 1: my analysis of the situation. I do think that people

1724
01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:16,519
Speaker 1: tailgate and get into a building is a problem. But

1725
01:41:16,640 --> 01:41:20,040
Speaker 1: I also think that this guy who was the father

1726
01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:24,519
Speaker 1: confronting that individual needs to be he needs to be

1727
01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:28,040
Speaker 1: aware of all of the optics, the dynamics of the situation.

1728
01:41:28,680 --> 01:41:30,840
Speaker 1: That guy clearly could have said I'm here to see

1729
01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:35,400
Speaker 1: somebody in three g here's a person's name, but he

1730
01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:38,000
Speaker 1: turned it. You know, he set the guy up by

1731
01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:40,519
Speaker 1: turning on the video and saying, you know, why why

1732
01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:42,960
Speaker 1: should I not be here? And look it was It's

1733
01:41:42,960 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 1: a difficult situation, and I understand that you can feel

1734
01:41:47,200 --> 01:41:48,720
Speaker 1: a little bit like what am I really going to

1735
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:51,560
Speaker 1: do here? I mean, I told you myself that I

1736
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:55,080
Speaker 1: remember feeling a little a little sheepish after I saw

1737
01:41:55,360 --> 01:41:58,080
Speaker 1: It's a classic scam that's often run in New York City,

1738
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:01,439
Speaker 1: among other cities, where someone will come up to you

1739
01:42:01,720 --> 01:42:04,599
Speaker 1: and say what's your name, and they'll have a CD

1740
01:42:04,760 --> 01:42:06,600
Speaker 1: in their hand, and you just say what your name is,

1741
01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:08,559
Speaker 1: and they'll write the name on the CD, and then

1742
01:42:08,560 --> 01:42:10,680
Speaker 1: they'll want fifteen dollars for some CD and they'll say, oh,

1743
01:42:10,720 --> 01:42:13,600
Speaker 1: I just autographed my newest, my newest album for you.

1744
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:16,080
Speaker 1: And if you won't give them fifteen dollars for a

1745
01:42:16,160 --> 01:42:18,880
Speaker 1: CD that's obviously worth nothing to you, then you have

1746
01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:21,559
Speaker 1: a problem. I saw some tourists. I saw that happening

1747
01:42:21,560 --> 01:42:23,000
Speaker 1: in New York. This is a couple of years ago,

1748
01:42:23,120 --> 01:42:25,880
Speaker 1: and I thought about intervening. But the truth is, all

1749
01:42:26,120 --> 01:42:27,960
Speaker 1: that has to happen is that kid. Then you know,

1750
01:42:28,040 --> 01:42:30,600
Speaker 1: if he starts a hey, he was a he was

1751
01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:33,759
Speaker 1: a minority youth, If i'd say about twenty years of age.

1752
01:42:34,160 --> 01:42:36,040
Speaker 1: All that he has to say is that this that

1753
01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:38,000
Speaker 1: this guy who had nothing to do with me, had

1754
01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:41,120
Speaker 1: nothing to do with anything, was, you know, said something

1755
01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:43,599
Speaker 1: racist or I'm just trying to make money as as

1756
01:42:43,640 --> 01:42:45,519
Speaker 1: an as an artist and I don't know why this guy,

1757
01:42:46,080 --> 01:42:48,040
Speaker 1: you know, And now I've got a problem right now.

1758
01:42:48,120 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 1: Now I'm the bad guy, even though I know exactly

1759
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:52,360
Speaker 1: what's happening, which is a scam. I mean, they're scamming

1760
01:42:52,400 --> 01:42:55,000
Speaker 1: tourists in my hometown, which I hate. I hate people

1761
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:58,720
Speaker 1: who scam tourists. It's disgusting. So, you know, but it's

1762
01:42:58,760 --> 01:43:01,719
Speaker 1: a tough situation. You intervene, and now all of a sudden,

1763
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:03,519
Speaker 1: you know, what's the story? What's the narrative really going

1764
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:05,960
Speaker 1: to be? You know, if you tell somebody who's walking

1765
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:08,760
Speaker 1: into the building, hey, you know why, you know, I

1766
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:11,679
Speaker 1: would have to ask, does this guy does the father

1767
01:43:12,360 --> 01:43:14,760
Speaker 1: say for everybody who walks in the building, who are

1768
01:43:14,800 --> 01:43:16,599
Speaker 1: you here to see? Or only does he only make

1769
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:19,840
Speaker 1: that determination for certain people? You know, this is where

1770
01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:23,439
Speaker 1: it starts to get tricky, folks. But I understand there's

1771
01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:25,599
Speaker 1: a lot of different dynamics there. And yeah, package thievery

1772
01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:27,760
Speaker 1: happens all the time, and it's a terrible thing. It's

1773
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:30,719
Speaker 1: really annoying it. You know, it happens particularly in buildings

1774
01:43:30,760 --> 01:43:35,240
Speaker 1: where there's no real security. So and that's why you

1775
01:43:35,320 --> 01:43:37,439
Speaker 1: need to get the cameras that we talk about here

1776
01:43:37,479 --> 01:43:40,240
Speaker 1: on the show. That's right, we advertise cameras to help

1777
01:43:40,240 --> 01:43:42,680
Speaker 1: you deal with package thievery. You gotta get ready for

1778
01:43:42,720 --> 01:43:45,320
Speaker 1: that live read coming up. But Chris, look, I appreciate

1779
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:49,120
Speaker 1: your opinion. Very interesting that you gave me that these

1780
01:43:49,240 --> 01:43:51,800
Speaker 1: links here from the San Francisco Chronicle on this, and

1781
01:43:52,040 --> 01:43:55,080
Speaker 1: I know that there's a there's a sense of lawlessness.

1782
01:43:55,360 --> 01:43:58,439
Speaker 1: Especially I was just talking today to somebody about what's

1783
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:02,280
Speaker 1: going on in Santa Monica, California, and the situation there

1784
01:44:02,560 --> 01:44:06,800
Speaker 1: is the Metro from downtown LA is now dropping all

1785
01:44:06,840 --> 01:44:09,840
Speaker 1: these vagrants in Santa Monica, which is the last stop

1786
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:12,400
Speaker 1: on this public transit line, and they're living on the

1787
01:44:12,479 --> 01:44:15,719
Speaker 1: beach now. So the the most expensive per square foot

1788
01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:18,439
Speaker 1: place to rent a home in Los Angeles is actually

1789
01:44:18,439 --> 01:44:21,559
Speaker 1: Santa Monica. And I would have thought it's Beverly Hills.

1790
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:25,320
Speaker 1: Apparently at Santa Monica, and now you have homeless encampments

1791
01:44:25,360 --> 01:44:27,600
Speaker 1: on the beach there and San Francisco. I mean, the

1792
01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:30,840
Speaker 1: Los Angeles City Council doesn't want to do anything about

1793
01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:35,799
Speaker 1: it because what are they gonna do? Well, Team, obviously,

1794
01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:39,560
Speaker 1: I got a little fired up about this stuff. But

1795
01:44:39,680 --> 01:44:42,640
Speaker 1: let's see one ware here, Ksey, so I married an

1796
01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:45,400
Speaker 1: axe murderer. If it's not Scottish, it's crap. Buck. You

1797
01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:48,200
Speaker 1: make me laugh. On another note, does anyone besides me

1798
01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:50,400
Speaker 1: see the absolute idiocies of a left in their day

1799
01:44:50,400 --> 01:44:52,679
Speaker 1: to day life? For instance, I have one in particular

1800
01:44:52,720 --> 01:44:54,479
Speaker 1: that as prope and borders, but the other hand wants

1801
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:57,400
Speaker 1: a reservation to be off limits to non native persons

1802
01:44:57,439 --> 01:45:00,600
Speaker 1: because it's quote their land. It's even made mention that

1803
01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:02,360
Speaker 1: she wants to see a barrier and a patrol unit

1804
01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:04,559
Speaker 1: in place to enforce it. Keep doing what you're doing,

1805
01:45:05,040 --> 01:45:09,080
Speaker 1: sepify you or die and she'ld tie. All right, Casey,

1806
01:45:09,120 --> 01:45:11,000
Speaker 1: thanks so much, man. I appreciate you riding in. I'm

1807
01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:12,439
Speaker 1: glad i'll be able to give you a chuckle. It's

1808
01:45:12,439 --> 01:45:14,160
Speaker 1: certainly one of my goals here on the show, and

1809
01:45:14,200 --> 01:45:15,920
Speaker 1: I'll try to try to keep it up as much

1810
01:45:15,960 --> 01:45:19,040
Speaker 1: as I can. Team. This has been a fantastic broadcast.
