1
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: You are entering the Freedom Hunt. CNN holds a town

2
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: hall where the left wing tells us what they really

3
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: want for this country. Also updates on the whistleblower, turns

4
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: out some connections to Democrat politicians, including one who is

5
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: running the Turkish incursion into Syria and also the NBA's

6
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: dishonorable China tobacco. We got that and more coming up

00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: on The buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show,

8
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,920

00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence. Mag no mistake American, bring You're

12
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: Everybody back here in the Freedom huod in NYC from

13
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: my trip in Vegas. Big thanks to Stansborough Research. Great

14
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: week out there, lots of phenomenal guests. Dennis Miller, Tommy Lara,

15
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: Nick Irving, the Reaper, Noril Rubimi from NYU Doctor Doom.

16
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: We had a really, really fun time out there. But

17
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: let's get to business, folks, I have missed you. Two

18
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: days away from the show feels like far too long.

19
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: And by the way, we are going to be bring

20
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: you a live show here from New York City on Monday,

21
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: even though it is do we call it? Do we

22
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: have to officially call it Indigenous People's Day yet? Or

23
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: is it? Can we still say Columbus Day? Is that

24
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: a microaggression? Maybe it's a macroaggression. But my, oh my,

25
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: we have so much to get you today. I don't

26
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: even know if we will fit it in. I haven't

27
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: said that in a while because I've been drilling down

28
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: deep into certain topics, and but today there's just so

29
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: many different things. I didn't even mention at the top

30
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: of the show we have Chelsea Clinton possibly running for Congress.

31
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: Up we do that was coming telling men to lean out.

32
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: This is the new radical left feminism on display in

33
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: a New York Times editorial, and just one of the

34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: most incredible moments yet with the Messieur Justin Trudeau, who

35
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 1: he's trying to be still so woke and so left wing,

36
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: but he's very hard because of the horrific debuckles of

37
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Anyway, but let's let's get

38
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: into the important stuff here for a moment. The President,

39
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: so I just gave you a little sense of what's

40
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: coming up later on there President Trump is under siege

41
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: and has been for the entirety of his presidency. There

42
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: was never a honeymoon period. There was not a moment

43
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: of introspection from the institutional left, the political establishment, the

44
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. They all right away decided that this was

45
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: not just an aberrant moment, that this was an outlier,

46
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: a black swan situation, that President Trump had been able

47
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: to defeat Hillary Clinton with all of the backing that

48
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: she had from the media, the establishment, all those forces

49
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: I just brought up, including some never Trump Republicans and

50
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: former Republicans now who make me question whether they ever

51
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: really believed any of the things that they had espoused

52
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: over the course of their adult lives. But there was

53
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: not a moment of let's see how the president does

54
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: and judge him based on that. It has been from

55
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: the start. Trump is illegitimate. The left will not accept him.

56
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: They will not move past this. They have dug in.

57
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: They are the resistance, as they call themselves, and that

58
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: means that the president has his handsful. Not only is

59
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: he trying to govern, not only is he trying to

60
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: be the commander in chief of United States Armed Forces

61
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: and the single most powerful figure in the executive branch

62
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: of our already far too large and far too expensive

63
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: federal government. He has to deal with forces arrayed against him.

64
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: That simply put previous presidents who where Democrats, don't have

65
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: to deal with at all, and even who are Republicans,

66
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: haven't seen in such a ferocious way. This is enough.

67
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: This is a whole other level, folks. I mean, people

68
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: are willing to violate their oaths of office, willing to

69
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: break the law, criminal leaks, commit felonies, whatever they have

70
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: to do to try and stop Trump. And you think

71
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: that in that environment, it's going to be very hard

72
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: for the president to make his case for reelection. Right there,

73
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: they're doing everything they can so that he won't be

74
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: judged based on what he has done as president. The

75
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: plan that the left has with Pelosi leading this impeachment inquiry,

76
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: not not even a true impeachment process yet, just kind

77
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: of sticking their foot in the pool with that will

78
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: being willing to jump in all the way. But as

79
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: that marches along, you might think, hold on a moment,

80
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: this is going to spell trouble for a president Trump.

81
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: How could he possibly overcome this? You have the weaponization

82
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: of the bureaucracy against him, Have the entirety of the

83
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: establishment media trying to destroy him, actively working toward the

84
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: destruction of his presidency. Ah, what comes into play all

85
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden? What is the X factor here that

86
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 1: the left does not think about? Or rather the left

87
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: can't really take into account because I suppose there's not

88
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: much that they'll be able to do about it. How

89
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: is it that I'm so confident on the president Trump

90
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: is likely to win? Oh? That's right. The left is crazy,

91
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: absolutely bonkers. They believe things that no sane person could believe.

92
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: They say things that no rational person could say, and

93
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: this has now become orthodoxy on the left. If you

94
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: deviate from this, even as a Democrat, you do so

95
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: at your peril. So, just when it feels like with

96
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: all this Ukraine gait and impeachment inquiry and subpoenaing Trump's

97
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: tax returns, all these things that are right against the president,

98
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: how could he overcome? Is even Trump is not invincible? Right? Ah?

99
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: Like the cavalry coming over the hill, the left wing

100
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: democrats show up and, courtesy of a platform given to

101
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: them on CNN, show everybody just how absolutely nuts the

102
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: left has gone on issues of religious freedom, on issues

103
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: of rule of law, on transgender rights as they call it.

104
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: There's just so much here that any normal person would

105
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: listen to and say, hold on a minute, what has

106
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: what has gone wrong? How could this be one of

107
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: the two major political parties in the most powerful, wealthy

108
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: country in the history of the planet. There were some

109
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: real moments last night at this CNN the CNN town Hall.

110
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: There was a lot of dishonesty, a lot of disingenuousness.

111
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: Will work through some of the parts of this, but

112
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: I would tell you that Beto O'Rourke has become the

113
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: Democrat candidate who says what the left believes deep down

114
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: but is unwilling to say aloud. And increasingly I think

115
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: that even though it won't mean that, buttu becomes a

116
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: viable presidential candidate in order to not get left out

117
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: of the wokeness. More candidates on the left are now

118
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: saying the things that many of us on the right

119
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: believe that they want to do, but they're unwilling to

120
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: say it because it would frighten most Americans, it would

121
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: shock a lot of people. The single most troubling moment

122
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: last night, well, actually, I'm not even sure we could

123
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: pick just one necessarily there there were so many, but

124
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: there were nine presidential candidates there. Do you think religious

125
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: institutions like colleges, churches, charities, should they lose their tax

126
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: exempt status if they oppose same sex marriage. Yes. Betto

127
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: doesn't believe in the First Amendment at all, doesn't believe

128
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: in freedom of expression, doesn't believe in Sorry, I'm a

129
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: little raspi after Vegas folks, doesn't believe in freedom of religion.

130
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: And many of us were saying this right after the

131
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: Obergfell decision the Supreme Court that just wait the left

132
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: that they don't just want marriage equality, They're going to

133
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: want people to in the religious establishment across the board.

134
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna want them to bend. They what will be

135
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: fascinating and it would be a fascinating Now, even if

136
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: we had a real media that asked questions, not acted

137
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: as propagandist for the left, would Bettos say that about

138
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: a mosque? Really, Betto's to tell mosques across the country

139
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: that they cannot oppose rather that they do not have

140
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: the right to support traditional marriage and oppose same sex marriage.

141
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: Oh no, only Christian churches. I think Betto willing to

142
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: say that to. Why is that? Why does Petto? Why

143
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: would he be allowed to get away with the bigotry

144
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: of different expectations there? Oh, we all know why. That

145
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: is because they view this as political warfare, and they

146
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: view churches that still support traditional marriage as a major

147
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: bulwark against the left's full on authoritarian stadism. Whether you

148
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: support same sex marriage or not is irrelevant to the

149
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: fact that Betto O'Rourke in this case is saying churches

150
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: are going to do what the state tells them to do.

151
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: They're going to support what the state tells them to support. This.

152
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: Even a few years ago, people like me were saying

153
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: would happen, and the left claimed that that was fearmongering.

154
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: Now you have a presidential candidate for the Demo, aocratic party,

155
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: in front of the whole country, who's saying exactly what

156
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: we were saying. What we were saying, what happened during

157
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: the Obama administration. It was just a matter of time.

158
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: And that's really what was on display last night at

159
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: the CNN town hall. That's what's on display has been

160
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: on display for the entirety of this Democrat primary. Democratic

161
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: Party has lost its mind. Things that are common sense,

162
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: things that we all understand to be true, They all

163
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: of a sudden reject They have different priorities, they have

164
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: a different lens through which they see all these things.

165
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: And then there's also just their inability at CNN to

166
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: we even understand what the new rules are. Because the

167
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: rules are changing so quickly, they try to be woke,

168
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: but sometimes they end up just looking clownish. How are

169
00:10:51,080 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: you and my pronouns? Are she? Her and hers? Mine too?

170
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: All right? Hey, bro Cuomo wanted to make a joke.

171
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: Dare you hear it? Hey? Bro Cuomo's on a national platform.

172
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: You know he just finished taking some creety. He's working out,

173
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, he's looking good. He's like, hey, I'm gonna

174
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: make a pronoun joke. Who bro Cuomo? Your brother? The

175
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: government New York could come in and just tell you

176
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: nobody makes pronoun jokes in America today. If you make

177
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: a joke about a pronoun, they will destroy you, far

178
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: you from your job, tar and feather you, and then

179
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: put more feathers on top of the tar in case

180
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: there were insufficient feathers. Bro Cuomo had to apologize as

181
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: a result, maybe we should start calling him Fredo, But

182
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: he had to apologize after that, because you're not allowed

183
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: to make any jokes about any of this. That was,

184
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: in fact the third rail that Dave Chappelle was willing

185
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: to touch in his most recent and quite spectacular comedy special.

186
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: He just talked about and didn't do it in a

187
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: degrading or a nasty way. He made some jokes dealing

188
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: with the LGBTQ community. There are no jokes if you're

189
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: outside the community that the left will allow you to make.

190
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: They think that they can shut down any discussion, any

191
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: commentary that isn't full of reverence and the desire to

192
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 1: obey whatever the dictates of leftist orthodox he may be.

193
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: There were things that were said last night at CNN

194
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: that were hard to believe. There were moments like when

195
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: a biological male took the microphone from a biological female.

196
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: Actually know, we can just say male and female, and

197
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: I guess we'll say trans female to signify when someone

198
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: is at biological male who now whole has the identity

199
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: of a trans woman. But a trans woman took the

200
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: microphone away and said the following without I would not

201
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: without any challenge from CNN anchors is multi millionaire glorified

202
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: actors on CNN their actors without acting talent. Really, this

203
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: is what that went like, Play twenty nine. Next to

204
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: the Secretary Castro, I want to bring in Shade Diamond,

205
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: a singer songwriter from Los Angeles. She currently supports Mayor

206
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: Pete bog Shaye. What's your question, Um, it's she a diamond, Diamond,

207
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: put that on record, Okay, thank you, Yes, honey. It's

208
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: violence to miss gender or to alter a name of

209
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: a trans person, So let's always get that right first.

210
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: It is violence. That was what we said that it

211
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: is violence to use the wrong name for a transgender person. No,

212
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: violence is violence. Right. You can say you don't like

213
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: it if someone calls you the wrong name. You can't

214
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: say it's the same as punching you. You can't say

215
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: it's the same as physically harming you. Violence is violence.

216
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: And if we allow leftist ideology to corrupt these very

217
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: basic concepts, then they can say anything is anything. Then

218
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: they've completely perverted logic, facts, reason, and the exchange of ideas.

219
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: But no one challenges it is violence. But words equals

220
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: violence is one of the favorite tactics of the authoritarian left,

221
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: because if words equals violence, two things happen. One, they

222
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: can regulate whatever words they want, however they want. And two,

223
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: if in fact they choose to use violence in response

224
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: to words, they're just defending themselves. They're just responding in kind.

225
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: So this is a deeply dishonest trick, but one that

226
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: the left polls on a regular basis and embraces. It's

227
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: true on college campuses across the country. Speech equals violence

228
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: is one of the great one of the fundamental fallacies

229
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: of the American left today. Now I switched up by

230
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: clips for a second here. I mentioned the grabbing of

231
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: the microphone, that that was the speech egles violence. That

232
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: was one thing, and then you add something that was

233
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: much more, much more physically aggressive than just saying that

234
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: speech speech equals violence. That's that's concerning enough. But a

235
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: a then a black trans a black trans woman exploded

236
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: at this event with with anger and indignation that CNN

237
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: had put on here, and there was this moment was

238
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: it was it was wow, it just just play play

239
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: clip thirty. But let me tell you something. Black trans

240
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: women are being killed in this country, and CNN, you

241
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: ever raised black trans women for the last time. Let

242
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: me tell you something, black trans women. I died our

243
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: lives matter. I'm a extraordinary black trans woman, and I

244
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: deserved to keep here my black tress. Look at her hair.

245
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: I am tired. I am full tired. I'm just saying

246
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: that's my black trans woman. My black tress. Brothers too.

247
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: Say what I'm gonna say. I don't know. No, I

248
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: let you come here. No, No, I just want to

249
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: ask you something. Come here, tell me, come here. I

250
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: want you to talk. What's your name? I'm Blossom, see

251
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: Brian Blossom. Let me ask Blossom, Blossom, thank you. Let

252
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: me tell you something. Let me let me. No, don't

253
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: come on the stage. Don't come in and say so ken.

254
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: May I have the mic? Man, I have the mic, Blossom,

255
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. The reason that we're here

256
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: is to validate people like you. Ah, yes, you see.

257
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: CNN wants to be very clear, the whole purpose of

258
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: this is to tell people who are on you would think,

259
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: the extreme left of the ideological spectrum, whether it's on

260
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: transgender issues or on religious freedom or transgender children, which

261
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: also came up last night. There were two at least

262
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: east transgender kids who were there. I think one of

263
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: them was nine years old. Always left wing parents, by

264
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: the way for the transgender kids. Isn't that a coincidence?

265
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: You never have two parents who are you know, conservative

266
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: churchgoing Republicans who have a transgender kid. So it's always

267
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: people who are you know, anti fur activists who don't

268
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: want their children being misgendered. I guess we're just supposed

269
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: to think that's a coincidence. But there was so much,

270
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: so much that we need to go through here, so

271
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: much that requires discussion. I mean, CNN is an embarrassment

272
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: start with that. So CNN is accused at its own

273
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: town hall of being a of erasing I believe black

274
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: trans women was the quote, and nullifying them. They're they're

275
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 1: holding a nationally televised special specifically for the LGBTQ community

276
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: and are and people in the audience, or at least

277
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: one person in the audience is very upset at what

278
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: CNN is doing because they're not giving enough attention to

279
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: the black transgender woman cause. And I would just say,

280
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: I've heard this before, I've seen stories. You know, this

281
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: is all part of the the patting them patting, the mentality,

282
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: you know, adding to the mentality of victimology that the

283
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: Left is so dependent on. So what they do is

284
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: they say that black trans women are are being killed

285
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: and that this is a You are led to believe

286
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: that this is an epidemic, that this is happening at

287
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: rates that are are shocking to the conscience. Uh, this

288
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: is and no one's paying attention to the the murder

289
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: of um of not just by the way, not just

290
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: like anyone who is transgender, not of any of any ethnicity. Well,

291
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: if you look at the numbers, you have roughly fifteen

292
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: thousand or so homicides in America every year. So about

293
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand people are killed in this country every year.

294
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: And of that fifteen thousand you had about to give

295
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: or to I mean, depending on the year, twenty or so.

296
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: Last few years, transgender people have been killed in this country.

297
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: So there are three hundred and twenty million people in America,

298
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand of them are killed in any given year.

299
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: Of that fifteen thousand, about twenty are transgender. And it

300
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: has somehow become a national media narrative that transgender individuals

301
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: are being murdered and being targeted for being transgender. Now,

302
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: if you also add into the circumstances that we're talking

303
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: about here, how many of the transgender individuals were employed

304
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: in or engaged in very high risk professional transactions at

305
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: the time of their of their death. You would see

306
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: that there is no statistical significance through this claim whatsoever

307
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: that transgender individuals are being targeted. But if you say that,

308
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: that's an offense against wokeness, because the narrative is that

309
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 1: transgender individuals are being targeted and murdered. Now, no individual

310
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: should be targeted and murdered in this country. Murder is

311
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: the most heinous of crimes. And every transgender person in

312
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: this country, regardless of of anything, deserves all the legal

313
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: protections of their personhood, of their physical safety that anyone

314
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: else does. And anyone who harms anybody who is transgender

315
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,

316
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: and that will include hate crime statutes. That all said,

317
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: can we just operate in the in the realm of facts.

318
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: We can we have discussions about what's what's really happening.

319
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: Where's the CNN opioids town hall. I'm just I'm just wondering,

320
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: not that you can't have or shouldn't have an LGBTQ

321
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: town hall, but we've had LGBTQ, we've had climate change.

322
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: You get if we're going to talk about body count,

323
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: seventy thousand people a year are dying from what is

324
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: a true epidemic? And yet why is it just not

325
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: an issue that gets the same kind of attention from

326
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: Democrats The most urgent public health crisis in the country

327
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: after probably obesity, But people are dying by the thousands.

328
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: You don't hear much about it. Do you surely don't

329
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: have a town hall on fixing it? Conservatives? The right

330
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: Republicans find the opioid crisis to be of much higher,

331
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: much higher urgency. All right, but back to this town,

332
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: because it was there were just some wow moments here.

333
00:21:51,880 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: I mentioned before the transgender the young transgender kids who

334
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: were there. And here's Democrat presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren who

335
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 1: is talking about tax dollars going to prison inmates for

336
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: transgender surgery. Play twenty six in the twenty twelve campaign

337
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: for Senate, you criticize the judge's ruling that granted transition

338
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: related surgery to a transgender inmate. You said, I don't

339
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: think it's a good use of taxpayer dollars. Right, Do

340
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: you regret that? Ye? No, it's a bad answer, And

341
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: I think it was a bad answer. And I believe

342
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: that everyone is entitled to medical care and medical care

343
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: that they need, and that includes people who are transgender

344
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: who it is the time for them to have gender

345
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: affirming surgery. I just think that's important and the appropriate

346
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: medical care. Look at all the changes that are made

347
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: to the left. It happened so fast that it's hard

348
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: to even keep up with it. Elizarth warreds Now, it's

349
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: a bad answer. Did she learn something new or what happened?

350
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: Oh no, the left just changed, became more extreme. The

351
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: demands of wokeness grew. That's all that happened. The progressive

352
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: orthodoxy has shifted into a realm where if you question

353
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: anything about transgender surgery, if you point out, for example,

354
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: that transgender surgeries are they involved the mutilation of healthy tissue,

355
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: and there is no such thing as a transgender surgery

356
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: that results in an actual switch of gender when someone

357
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: does not have the biological parts of another gender. Now,

358
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: for people who are going to bring up intersects, which

359
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: is also formally called to be when someone is a hermaphrodite,

360
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: that's not what transgenderism is, folks. That's not what they're

361
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: talking about. They're talking about these specifically emotional and psychological

362
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: need for a switch of gender that is physiologically impossible

363
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: and not physiologically based and involved surgery that has tremendous complications,

364
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: long term challenges that come with it, and the long

365
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: term happiness rates after these surgeries, not just of the

366
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: individuals in terms of their general life satisfaction, but transgender

367
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: individuals who feel that they should never had had the

368
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: surgery is very high. If you bring this up, you're

369
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: a bad person. If you look at the facts, You're

370
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: not somebody that's allowed to have an opinion, go along

371
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: with this or else you're either part of the wokeness

372
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: leftist revolution or you are to be destroyed, pushed aside, ruined.

373
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: That's it. Those are the new rules we're dealing with.

374
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: It's not just Trump who deals with us, it's all

375
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: of us. Now, I mentioned the transgender children issue. Here

376
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: we have where was this? We had a transgender nine

377
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: year old I believe at the event. Play a play

378
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: clip twenty twenty four and let's bring in Jacob Lama.

379
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: He's here with his sister Ella and Lucia and his

380
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: mom Mimmi, who is an advocate for transgender youth and

381
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: active with the Human Rights Campaign. Jacob is an elementary

382
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: school student from Massachusetts likes to play hockey. Jacob all right,

383
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: Jacob all right. Um, my name is Jacob and I

384
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: am a nine year old transgender American. My question is,

385
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: all right, hold on, what were you doing your first

386
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: week as president to make sure that kids like me

387
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: feel safer in schools? And what do you think schools

388
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: need to do better to make sure that I don't

389
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: have to worry about anything but my homework. Oh, I

390
00:25:52,600 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: like that question, Jacob. We're gonna do this, So let

391
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: me start by saying I want to have a Secretary

392
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: of Education who both believes in public education and believes

393
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: in the value of every one of our kids, and

394
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: is willing to enforce our civil rights laws. Now, there's

395
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: nothing in that answer that's worth hearing from Elizabeth Warren.

396
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: And this is where you always have to be careful,

397
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: because criticizing kids is wrong. I don't criticize kids. I

398
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: criticize adults who are exploiting children. I criticize the left

399
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: desire to put children forward as advocates, as actives for

400
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: a cause. And then when people disagree with the message

401
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: or say I'm not going to go along with this.

402
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: I do not take orders politically or otherwise from children.

403
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,239
Speaker 1: Then they start saying, you're a child passer? How dare you?

404
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: How dare you? The adults who do this are morons

405
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: and they should be ashamed of themselves. But in this

406
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: specifics here, in the specifics of this case of the

407
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: this nine year old who says that he or she

408
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: I actually I'm being serious, I don't know what the

409
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: chosen pronoun was in the situation this nine year old

410
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: says claims to be they claim to be a Transamerican. There,

411
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: that's now the safe way of saying it. And I

412
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: wonder how long before I have to say that, And

413
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: then if I don't say these things, I'll get in trouble.

414
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: At what point is this required the same way that

415
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: I can't yell curses over the radio without endangering my

416
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: job and perhaps being suffering economic consequences being boycott. Do

417
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: I have to use that the chosen words of the

418
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: transgender or the chosen pronouns, et cetera the transgender community,

419
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: or face professional sanction. I think the answer is we're

420
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: pretty much right on the edge. I'm not quite sure,

421
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: and I don't plan to charge the machine gun nest alone,

422
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: so to speak on this one. Friends, So we'll have

423
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: to see. But I would want to know this. This

424
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: is a parent transgender individual who is nine years old.

425
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: And when I was nine, the most and I mean this,

426
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: the most exciting thing that I can remember was I

427
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: think that I got to wear a dinosaur costume that

428
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: year for Halloween. Children or children, it's a wonderful time.

429
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: It's great. They're growing, they're learning. They should be taken

430
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: care of, and they should not be subject to adults

431
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: using the most political pawns and perhaps even worse in

432
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: this case. What I would want to know is the

433
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: parents of this child are transactivists involved in the human

434
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: rights campaign? Were they transactivists before their nine year old

435
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: decided that a transgender life was what he or she

436
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: again chosen pronoun? I don't know, want it. I'm just wondering,

437
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: and if so, are we to believe that that's a coincidence,

438
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: because here's what I'm willing to bet. I'm willing to

439
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: bet that the parents here were far left wing activists,

440
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: transgender activists, probably before they even have this nine year old.

441
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: And then that raises the question of is it a

442
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: form of child abuse to inflict the ideology of the

443
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: left on a kid such that that nine year old

444
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: now will perhaps want to take hormones and go through

445
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, at a prepubescent stage. That's what's happening on

446
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: the left is advocating for this stuff. And this is

447
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: where they'll say, oh, but the science or the scientists,

448
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,479
Speaker 1: any doctor and doctors now are all afraid. They're all

449
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: running scared on this. They don't know what to do.

450
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: The doctors who actually know anything about transgender surgery, they

451
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: run and hide now. And so you have these activist

452
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: doctors who come forward we were saying, oh, well, of course,

453
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: because they want to look like heroes and they want

454
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: their practices to flourish. The ones who are basing this

455
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: in medicine and medical outcomes, they just don't want to

456
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: deal with the politics anymore. But any doctor who comes

457
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: forward and tells you that they know what the long

458
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: term consequences of ender, any gender reassignment activity, including just

459
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: hormonal therapy for a young child, would be is lying.

460
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: They don't know. You know how I know they don't

461
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: know because it's never been done before. We are an

462
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: uncharted territory now, and people like me, who are saying five, six,

463
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: seven years ago, this is where it's going. This is

464
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: where it's going. Transgender kids. We were told that was fearmongering.

465
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: What was fearmongering according to the left about the left

466
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: during the Obama administration is now mainstream policy in the Democrats.

467
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: And it just happened in the blink of an eye,

468
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: and we're supposed to forget that. We all saw this coming. Yeah,

469
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: I mock Beto O'Rourke, but the truth is Betto O'Rourke

470
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: has made a very clear decision that he because he

471
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: has there's no reason to vote for the sky. There's

472
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: nothing compelling about him. His position is just to be

473
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: the distilled it the true psychological core of the democratic left,

474
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: of the socialist left in America. That's what he's doing.

475
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: That's where he's going. And you're seeing this now, and

476
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren and all these other candidates, Oh, they're saying

477
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: whatever they have to say in order to stay on

478
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: the correct, on the acceptable side of wokeness. And not

479
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: even the Democrat media knows necessarily how to play this

480
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: out of me. You know, pro Cuomo made a fool

481
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: of himself. But my friends, this is this is heading

482
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: straight into madness, and there will be real consequences. People

483
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: will suffer as a result of these decisions. Children will suffer.

484
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: Transgender nine year old I don't even remember having a

485
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: defined sexuality or gender or thoughts about gender identity at

486
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: age eight age nine. This could only come from parents.

487
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: Parents who are so ideologically driven that they would inflict

488
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: their own self satisfied virtue signaling political beliefs on little kids,

489
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: their own kids, troublesome stuff. I attended an all girls

490
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: Catholic high school in Bergen County, New Jersey, where during

491
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: my years there proposals for an LGBTQ plus club or

492
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: gay straight alliance routinely rejected, despite the school's messaging of

493
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: acceptance and love. A few towns away, at another Catholic

494
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: high school, a female teacher was fired for being married

495
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: to a woman. How about you address the at times

496
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: juxtaposing issues of religious freedom and LGBTQ rights. It's a

497
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: great question, and thank you very much. Look, this is

498
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: something that I've been dealing with all my life as

499
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: a Christian. People who want to use religion as a

500
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: justification for discination and often are creating environments are so

501
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: contrary to my religious beliefs. As it said in Michael,

502
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: what do you want from your Lord? What does what

503
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: you want from your people? Which is to do justice,

504
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: love kindness, and walk humbly, walk humbly. And so for me,

505
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: I cannot allow as a leader that people are going

506
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: to use a religion as a justification for discrimination. I

507
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: could respect your religious freedoms but also protect people from discrimination.

508
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: And as I said in an earlier answer, I grew

509
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: up in a household where my parents talk to me

510
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: about how people used to use religion to justify the

511
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: discrimination against African Americans. Is he what he's telling you there?

512
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: That's Corey Booker, very mainstream Democrat presidential candidate. If you

513
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: are a traditional Christian who believes that marriage is between

514
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: a man and a woman, not only do you just

515
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: accept now that you live in a country where, because

516
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: of a Supreme Court fiat it was this was not legislated,

517
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: this was not passed by Congress. Because of the Supreme Court.

518
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: Just you now have what is called marriage equality, what

519
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: was formerly called gay marriage across the country as the

520
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: as the law of the land. But if in your

521
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: own institution, Catholic school, Christian, Christian Church, if you have

522
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: any problem, or if you have any policy that conflicts

523
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: with marriage equality, you're a bigot. That's what the Democrats

524
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: really think. And you know this is the overwhelming majority

525
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: of Democrats. If you ask them, they will tell you

526
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: that a church, any Christian church, only Christian churches, though

527
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: they won't they won't say that about any other religion.

528
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: If you don't support same sex every either, same sex

529
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: ideology across the board, you're a bigot. Welcome back to

530
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 1: the buck sex and show, everybody. So President Trump had

531
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: a rally last night. You had you had CNN do

532
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: it's town hall style show with nine Democrat candidates. They're

533
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: all Los Angeles, and we talked quite a bit about that.

534
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: But then you also have the Trump rally last night,

535
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: which was a nice reprieve I think for those of

536
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: us who support the president from what we've been forced

537
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: to endure in the news cycle of the last week

538
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: or so, which is all this hysterical, oh my gosh,

539
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: the Republic is at stake stuff about Trump and Ukraine.

540
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: We will speak more about that. But Trump was doing

541
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: his thing last night. He decided that he wasn't going

542
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: to hold back at all. Play clip twenty two. He

543
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: was only a good vice president because he understood how

544
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: to kiss Barack Obama's ass. This is what the Democrat nominee,

545
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: whoever he or she may be, is in for a

546
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: president who is not going to hold back, who is

547
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: going to fight fire with fire and then some and

548
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: the media can wave a finger and say, how dare you?

549
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: As much as they want, he's not going to stop.

550
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: I think that the president, how could he not have

551
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: taken all of the stuff that has gone on here

552
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: very personally. Remember, the Democrats aren't just going after this

553
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: president politically, they're going after him personally. They want to

554
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: humiliate him. They want to imprison him if they can.

555
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: They want to incarcerate his family members, his advisors, prison,

556
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: everyone has to go to prison. That's what they want.

557
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: Anything short of an official repudiation of the twenty sixteen election,

558
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump, at least threatened with the possibility of

559
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: incarceration and some of his senior advisors and family members

560
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: going along with him is flatly unacceptable to the Democrat left.

561
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: They just won't. They will not go along with it.

562
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 1: They'll say that it's an insufficient situation. And so that's

563
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: why that's why. I think we need to understand what's

564
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: really going on here with the Ukraine scandal. Oh, the

565
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: Ukraine scandal. I keep seeing people who are they're falling

566
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: for it all over again. I don't care that it

567
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: looks rough. I don't care that it's it feels a

568
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: little bit politically dirty for the President to bring up

569
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's name in a conversation with a foreign head

570
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: of state. There is a predicate, there is a basis,

571
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: a legitimate suspicion, and basis for investigation. We know that

572
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: because there already was some investigation going on. The President

573
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: raised concerns. There has not been the establishment, despite what

574
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: you're reading the media, of any quid pro quo. And

575
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: Joe Biden does not have immunity, nor does his son

576
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,919
Speaker 1: have immunity, because they happen to be the best hope

577
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: right now of Democrats defeating Trump. Sorry, I know that

578
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: it bothers people. I know that they'd like to believe that. Oh,

579
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: you b but our president. You know, the founding fathers,

580
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: the founding fathers, I mean Aaron Burr shot Alexander Hamilton.

581
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: We were really going to talk about this, and this

582
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: is politics is an ugly messy business people act like

583
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 1: in the earliest days, the rumors that different politicians at

584
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: the time of the American founding were spreading about each other,

585
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: rumors that are being spread about Thomas Jefferson, rumors that

586
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: are being spread about John Adams. You go through this,

587
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: it was Noah holds barred man. I mean, the Democrats

588
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: love to do this to us, though, because Republicans, or

589
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: at least the right, is highly imperfect. Trump is highly imperfect.

590
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: But there's at least some belief that there are rules,

591
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: that reality exists, and reality doesn't conform to whatever you say.

592
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 1: It is that the law is the law. You can't

593
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: just pretend to law is something else because you wish

594
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: it to be so. And while we may fall short

595
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: of our ethical goals, at least we have ethnical goals.

596
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: The left is like, whatever works power, go for it,

597
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: do it, get it. Stunning to see this continue to

598
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: play out. Everyone says, oh, look at what Trump has

599
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: done here, Look at how how horrible it is that

600
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: he has gone gone after Biden in this way. Here

601
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is saying that there are are violations of

602
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: his oath of office. Of course, he is twenty one

603
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has violated his oath of office, betrayed this nation,

604
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: and committed impeachable acts. To preserve our constitution, our democracy,

605
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: our basic integrity, he should be impeached to preserve our democracy.

606
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 1: I mean they use these words, they trot out these slogans,

607
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: and that they can keep a straight face. I just

608
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: find remarkable. Ah. Yes, to defend our democracy, we must

609
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: impeach this president. Yeah, that's right. To defend the democracy,

610
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: you have to pretend that this guy never won the

611
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 1: election the last time around and isn't about to win

612
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: this election this time around unless the Democrats played dirty tricks.

613
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 1: But I can tell you that you know that I'm

614
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: a I've been reading up and doing some research on

615
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: I was gonna say I'm a fan of but that's

616
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: not really the right right way to say it. I've

617
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: I've been deep diving into the Committee of Public Safety

618
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: of the French Revolution. Now this all makes sense in

619
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: a second, but the Committee of Public Safety became a

620
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: committee of dictatorship, send people off to the guillotine execution

621
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: for any number of real or imagined crimes, overwhelmingly imagined crimes,

622
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: and it was always justified though along the way by

623
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 1: some of the most intelligent, erudite statesman you'd find anywhere

624
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: in France in the seventeen nineties. Right, That's that's the truth,

625
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: is that these were people that were supposed to be

626
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: the best and the brightest, as we see time and again.

627
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 1: But one of the working theories, especially when the Committee

628
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: of Public Safety turned against the National Assembly and there

629
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: were there were there was infighting, political infighting, was the

630
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: rejection of the charges. When somebody would say, I am

631
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: not guilty of treason, how dare you? That rejection was

632
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: taken by the real center of power, which was this

633
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: dictatorial committee that could have anyone executed. As see, he

634
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: doesn't even respect the will of the people as evidence

635
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: through these charges, and therefore the verdict must come swiftly.

636
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 1: In essence your rejection of the accusation, it is proof

637
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: that the allegation must be true. So this is not

638
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: a new phenomenon. It's exactly what they did to Brett Kavanaugh, right,

639
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: remember that whole he got mad. Yeah, when the crazy

640
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 1: ladies were lying about him being a rapist, he got mad.

641
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: That's that's a normal thing for any guy to do.

642
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: That's that's a normal thing for any guy to do.

643
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: People were pretending like it wasn't do you see how

644
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: angry he was, Yeah, of course he was. They say

645
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: this about Trump when he's the obstruction counts and the

646
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: Malla report. It's all, oh, how how could Trump have said, Oh,

647
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: shut this down, fire this person. This is crazy. Yeah,

648
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: because he was innocent, because it was a witch hunt,

649
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: because it was all a lie. Ah. But his rejection

650
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: of their effort to destroy him was further evidence that

651
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: he should be destroyed. That's that's the position that they

652
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: were taking. And now we have the exact same circumstance

653
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:39,439
Speaker 1: with Ukraine. Right now, it's the president wants to look

654
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: into the effort to take him down, has the dj

655
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: already and Durham, the US attorney for Connecticut, and Bill

656
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 1: Barr has them looking into this situation and the fact

657
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: that he wants to know the facts of how they

658
00:42:55,840 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: tried to destroy his presidency and the last off coup effort,

659
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: how it failed, but how it even got started. That

660
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: is being taken as evidence that he's corrupt and he's

661
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: guilty all along at any effort to push back against this,

662
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: this soft coup, this conspiracy to destroy a president and

663
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 1: undo the results of the twenty sixteen election, any effort

664
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: that you'll see, they try to an Elynsky style frees it,

665
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 1: isolate it, destroy it. They try to make it seem

666
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: like that alone is evidence that Trump is guilty and

667
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: has been guilty all along. This is kafka esque. But

668
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:39,959
Speaker 1: when you deal with a totalitarian mentality, when you're subjected

669
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: to people who are so ideologically driven that nothing else

670
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: matters except them getting their way. Because they're so marinated

671
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: in their own self righteousness all the time that they

672
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: have no sense of anything else, anything beyond their own

673
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: desires or the desire of the collective that they represent,

674
00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: some small piece of well, then you have people who

675
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: will do exactly what we're seeing here, which is abandoned

676
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: forget about abandoning objectivity, abandoned rationality. Oh, the president is

677
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: not allowed to look into why they try to destroy

678
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: his presidency. He's not because he's not really the president.

679
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: You see, there's always a justification, there's always another layer,

680
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: and all the president can't ask for further information. Remember,

681
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: it could have been Zelenski, the Presidy of Ukraine, could

682
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 1: have come back and said, yeah, well well we'll take

683
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: a look, I'll talk to my guys come back to

684
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: the day say sorry, there's nothing there. Man. We really

685
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: did do the Biden investigation and I've got nothing for you. Okay.

686
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: You know, for Trump to have they're acting And if

687
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 1: for Trump have really been corrupt, it would have had

688
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: to be a different situation. They're acting like he called

689
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: and said, I'm running against this guy. You know what

690
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: I need you to do? Arrest him and fabricate some charges.

691
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: I then, would I defend the president doing that? No,

692
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: I would not. Will I defend the president saying there's

693
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,879
Speaker 1: real reason I believe? Of course, this reason. I believe

694
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's making millions of dollars from you created gas

695
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: company that's desperate to avoid the ire of corruption prosecutors

696
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,280
Speaker 1: in the United States government. Oh, there's plenty of reason.

697
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 1: There is more. There's more of a basis for continued

698
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: investigation of Barisma and Hunter Biden and Joe Biden's involvement

699
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: here than there is Donald Trump Russia collusion. But look

700
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 1: what Congress was doing all summer, bringing more witnesses, just

701
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: keep the whole charade going. It's a circus. It's ridiculous. Ah,

702
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 1: but the whistleblower, let's spend some time now on the

703
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: specifics of the whistleblower. I don't want to have spies

704
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: in the White House. I want to be free to

705
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: make calls. I don't think it's fair that somebody interprets

706
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: a call. He didn't interpret it wrong. I don't mind

707
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 1: a misinterpretation. This was a fraud because that call was perfect,

708
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: and if you read the whistle blower's report, that was no,

709
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: it bore no resemblance to what the call was. The

710
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: whistle blower. It turns out, Oh, I shouldn't even say

711
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 1: it turns out we kind of knew this all along,

712
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:16,439
Speaker 1: didn't we. There's really it's really no surprise here when

713
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: we find out that the whistle blower reportedly worked at

714
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: the White House under the Obama aministration and would have

715
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: worked closely with Vice President Biden. Does anybody think that

716
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: the whistleblower is not a Democrat partisan? Oh oh, but

717
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: there's a there's a second whistleblower, they tell us. Now,

718
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: so that's supposed to be that's supposed to make us

719
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: think that there's a real, a real legitimacy here, because

720
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: there's yet another person who has come forward and said,

721
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: look at what is look at what is going on

722
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: with this Trump phone call. It means nothing. We already

723
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 1: have the transcript, We already know what was said, So

724
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: what how is the person even a whistle blow? By

725
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,919
Speaker 1: the way, the whistleblower report had falsehoods in it, which

726
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: tends to happen when you're going on hearsay when you

727
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: don't know what was said. You're just hearing from other

728
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: people what was said. Right. So we look now at this,

729
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: at this whistleblower situation with more facts, and the more

730
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: we learn about it, the more clear it is that

731
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: this is someone who has a political acts to grind

732
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: against the president's reelection, does not believe the president of

733
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 1: the United States should have ever won. And there are

734
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: now other people that are coming forward to speak to

735
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: the press and say that they were really bothered by

736
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: the phone call that Trump had with Zelenski as well

737
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: in the intelligence community. I'm here to tell you that

738
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: most of the senior bureaucrats of the intelligence community have

739
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:54,760
Speaker 1: the same basic worldview and political beliefs as a gender

740
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 1: studies professor at a small liberal arts college somewhere who

741
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: self identifies as a socialist. Government is full of people

742
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: like that at the top levels and I know because

743
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: I was there. I was in the CIA. I remember

744
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 1: what some of the top people in that organization were like.

745
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying all, but a lot of them. Especially

746
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 1: if you're a careerist, if your career state department, for example,

747
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: the chances of you being a lib are upwards of

748
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: eighty or ninety percent. It's like the media. Yeah, not

749
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: all of the media, obviously I work in media. Not

750
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: all of the media's left wing, socialist insanity. But if

751
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: you are somebody who has chosen to work in journalism,

752
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: chances are about eighty ninety percent you're a lib. Same

753
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 1: thing in the state department. So that there are more

754
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: people that are coming forward now to say, oh, I'm

755
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: so angry, I'm so concerned what the president did. Well,

756
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: this is their moment to pile on to try to

757
00:48:54,600 --> 00:49:02,800
Speaker 1: give greater legitimacy to what is in inherently weak story

758
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: week allegation, which is that the president what did he do?

759
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: There isn't a quid pro quo. They can keep pretending

760
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: it was implicit or implied, But guess what you could

761
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 1: do that with any conversation between a leader and someone else,

762
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:19,240
Speaker 1: and between world leaders on any number of issues. Oh well,

763
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,879
Speaker 1: you know he didn't. He didn't say, do this and

764
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: then do this other cool thing for me to help

765
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: my reelection. But it was implied. Implied is not a

766
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: fancy word for these are the words that I wish

767
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: that person had said. So I'm going to pretend that

768
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: they said it. You have the ex Ambassador Yavanovich who

769
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: has been called today in Capital all behind closed doors.

770
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 1: Of course, we're gonna get leaks as soon as as

771
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: soon as people can print them. They're going to be

772
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:50,720
Speaker 1: leaks from this testimony behind closed doors on Capitol Hill.

773
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: You know you didn't hear about last week a diplomat

774
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: because immedia wanted to suppress this. What are they put forward?

775
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,439
Speaker 1: What are they suppressed? Senior diplomat last week was saying

776
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: that there was no quid pro quo when the President

777
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 1: made it very explicit, there was no quid pro quo.

778
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: And when the President of Ukraine, Zelenski, had the phone

779
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 1: call with Trump, they didn't the creating government didn't even

780
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: know that there would be any delay in aid. By

781
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,760
Speaker 1: the way aid that was given to them, the military

782
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: aid did go through, and there wasn't some special investigation

783
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: of Biden that we you know, that was launched as

784
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 1: a result of the Trump phone call. So there's no quid,

785
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: there's no quo. What are we even talking about? This

786
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: is insanity, it really is. It's it's bizarre. But you're

787
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: gonna have ambassad you have an Ovi who I'm sure

788
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,879
Speaker 1: is a big lib big Democrat. It's gonna say, oh yes.

789
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: And it was really troubling. We were also troubled by this.

790
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: You know, these the same people who tell you that

791
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: everything Trump does is unprecedented, everything Trump does is unconstitutional.

792
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 1: That you know, the Russians handed Trump the election, even

793
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 1: though not a single vote was changed. They say crazy

794
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: stuff about everything. But now we're supposed to believe them,

795
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, on these issues, we're supposed to think that

796
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 1: they aren't partisans. I'm just it's just absurd. The whole

797
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: thing is absurd. Now, I did see that there's some

798
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: issue with some Giuliani associates, Rudy Giuliani's associates who have

799
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: been arrested. Play that audio, my friend, I don't know

800
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: those gentlemen. Now it's possible I have a picture with them,

801
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: because I have a picture with everybody. I have a

802
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: picture with everybody here. But somebody said there may be

803
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: a picture or something where at a fundraiser or somewhere. So,

804
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: but I have pictures with everybody. I don't know if

805
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: there's anybody, I don't have pictures. I don't know them.

806
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,439
Speaker 1: I don't know about them. I don't know what they do,

807
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:50,439
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Maybe they were clients of Rudy.

808
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: You'd have to ask Rudy. I just don't know. Watch

809
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 1: how much the media invests and digs in on finding

810
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 1: about the ruddy Rudy Leani's associates here, the stories they

811
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: run versus the complete lack of interest in Joe Biden's

812
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: activities in Ukraine, the lack of interest in Hunter Biden

813
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 1: any in any context, and the way that Biden has

814
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 1: has gotten away with verbally slapping around reporters who even

815
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: even raised this issue, like, oh, it's ridiculous that you

816
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: would ask a question about how when I was Vice

817
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 1: president and running foreign policy for the US government in

818
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: a country my son was getting paid by a gas

819
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: company fifty thousand dollars a month and my son is

820
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: an imbecile who doesn't know anything about gas or Ukraine?

821
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: How dare you ask that question? The media goes, oh,

822
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: we're you know, We're sorry. We shouldn't we shouldn't have

823
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: asked that question. I guess I don't want to follow

824
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,839
Speaker 1: up on that, because you know, the truth is most

825
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: journalists are cowards. Welcome back the Buck Sexton Show. The

826
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: NBA is putting on a clinic for how not to

827
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: handle hey, a pr disaster, for how not to stand

828
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: up for core values and to show the world the

829
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: process that all of you, all of the corporate grand

830
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 1: standing from the NBA about freedom of freedom of this

831
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: or freedom of that, whatever it may be, or are

832
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: about different political causes, or it doesn't really matter. It's

833
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: not serious, or at least it's only serious when there's

834
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: no consequence there are. They only mean it if there's

835
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:33,240
Speaker 1: no downside. So the virtue signaling stuff. The NBA loves

836
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: things that look woke and left wing and progressive and cool.

837
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: They're all about that. But protesters in Hong Kong. NBA

838
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: has a very different view on this. I gotta say

839
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 1: the President, I think is totally right here to just

840
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: Trump smash all the nonsense that's being put out by

841
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: people from the NBA. Instead of hulk smash. We could

842
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 1: we could start to think Trump Smash kind of like

843
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 1: that Trump Smash play twenty. I watch this guy, Steve Kerr,

844
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: and he was like a little boy. He was so

845
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,280
Speaker 1: scared to be even answering the question. He couldn't answer

846
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: the question. He was shaking, Oh, I don't know, I

847
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 1: don't know. He didn't know how to answer the question.

848
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: And he'll talk about the United States very badly. I

849
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: watched Popovich sort of the same thing, but he didn't

850
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: look quite as scared. Actually, but they talk badly about

851
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 1: the United States, but when it talks about China, they

852
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: don't want to say anything bad. I thought it was

853
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: pretty sad. Actually, it'll be it'll be very it'll be

854
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: very interesting. Excuse me, are you okay? Then with the

855
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: Chinese government pressuring the NBA over Hong Kong, they have

856
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: to work out their own situation. The NBA is they

857
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,439
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. But I watched the way that

858
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 1: like Kerr and Popovich and some of the others were

859
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: pandering to China and yet to our own country they don't.

860
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,359
Speaker 1: It's like they don't respect it. It's like they don't

861
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 1: respect it. I said, what a difference, Isn't it sad?

862
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: It's very sad to me. It's very said. Trump is

863
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 1: absolutely correct. They do like to trash America. They're very

864
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: quick to criticize this country. And in fact, I think

865
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,319
Speaker 1: I've seen that the was the Portland Trailblazers. An NBA

866
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 1: team has just joined a a BDS boycott, divest, sanctions

867
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 1: campaign issue against Israel. So they won't do business anymore

868
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: with a company that does business with the IDF, the

869
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: Israeli Defense Forces in Zrael. So NBA teams they'll take

870
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,959
Speaker 1: political stance. They'll just take left wing ones, and they'll

871
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: take ones that undermine America, that talk about what a bad, racist,

872
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:44,439
Speaker 1: oppressive country America is. But China, whoa, I mean, China,

873
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: come out. China's a big market. They can't they can't

874
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: say that it's going to upset China. I want to

875
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: do that when there's money at stake for the NBA.

876
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: Because remember, conservatives, the right, we don't we don't pressure

877
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 1: people the way that the left does. We don't do

878
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: these campaign of do as we say or else we

879
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 1: will bring your business to its knees. That's really a

880
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 1: left wing thing. And so they can do this with impunity.

881
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: Usually they can trash the right. They can trash traditional

882
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 1: American values and American freedoms without it being a problem

883
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: for them and feel really brave in the process. But

884
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 1: China actually is gonna clap back, so to speak. China

885
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: is gonna punch back and say, oh, okay, you you

886
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: say something about us we don't like. Guess what now,

887
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,359
Speaker 1: Now you don't have access to our markets. Now your

888
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 1: dollar signs are in trouble. And that's why the NBA,

889
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 1: for example, has canceled media availability for the rest of

890
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: a China trip. ESPN just reporting on that today of

891
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: a trip to China, and you're just not seeing anyone

892
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: in the NBA willing to say, willing to I don't know,

893
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 1: how about where something in solidarity with the protesters in

894
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: Hong Kong on the court and take a fine for that,

895
00:56:55,840 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 1: you know, maybe maybe even do something, take some social

896
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 1: media active protest or just any anything in solidarity with

897
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:06,760
Speaker 1: the people of Hong Kong who just want basic freedom,

898
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: rights and dignity and are standing up against and increasingly

899
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: tyrannical and violent Chinese authoritarian police force in Hong Kong.

900
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: Where's the where's the love, where's the support, where's the help?

901
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 1: These NBA guys. But they're all they're all multi millionaires.

902
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: It's so rich they can they can be locked through

903
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: the Chinese market forever and still never have to think

904
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: about money the rest of their lives, to be super

905
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: successful and globally famous. And so what what are they really?

906
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: What are the real risks they're taking? That's what this

907
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: Isn't some small business that's going to fold at the

908
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: Chinese say so. But they like to make a lot

909
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 1: of money. They don't want to make just a lot,

910
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 1: They want to make a lot a lot. Huh. It's

911
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: almost like greed over rides or I should say capitalism,

912
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: but the desire for accumulation of wealth overrides wokeness. I

913
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: don't think it's the first time we've seen that on

914
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 1: the left. But the best example of how not to

915
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: speak about this issue and to show what a silly,

916
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 1: ignorant hypocrite one can be when while the NBA's dealing

917
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 1: with this debacle, which it is, the NBA should never

918
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: have backed down, should never have placated the Chinese they

919
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: did right off the bat. Here is former was he

920
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 1: a three point shooter for the Bulls back in the day.

921
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: Isn't that what is this guy's the worst? Here's the

922
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: coach of I think it's the Golden State words. I

923
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: don't really watch. Thank you producer Marks here to make

924
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: sure I know sports stuff. Here's what he had to

925
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: say about the China situation. Basically, Yeah, America's really bad

926
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: too play it. It has not come up in terms

927
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: of people asking me about it, people discussing it. No,

928
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 1: Nor has our record of human rights abuses come up either.

929
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: You know, things that our country needs to look at

930
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 1: and resolve that hasn't come up either. So none of

931
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: us are perfect, and we all have different issues that

932
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 1: we have to get to and saying that is my

933
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: right as an American doesn't mean that I hate my

934
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: country and means I want to address things right. But

935
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 1: people in China didn't ask me about you know, people

936
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: owning a or fifteens and mowing each other down in

937
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: a ma all. I wasn't asked that question. So we

938
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: can play this game all we want and go all

939
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: over the map, and you know, there's this issue and

940
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: that issue, and the world is a complex place and

941
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 1: there's more gray than black and white. Oh wow, Thank

942
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: you so much, Steve Kerr for the most intellectually flimsy,

943
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: cowardly moral relativism that anybody he could ever conjure up

944
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: on the spot. That was amazing, wasn't it. Here's the

945
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 1: guy he could say. Look, by the way, if somebody

946
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 1: ever wants to take the position, guys, I'm here to

947
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: play basketball to entertain people. I you know, I don't

948
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: have a I don't have a comment to make on politics.

949
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: If if that's someone's position, I can always respect that.

950
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 1: You know, we don't have to make everybody a player

951
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 1: in the political realm. You don't have to do that.

952
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: The problem I have is that NBA players and the

953
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 1: NBA's as as an organization overall, are very politically active,

954
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 1: have all kinds of thoughts and ideas on politics that

955
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: they must share with us all the time, right whether

956
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: it's you know, wearing the hoodies for Trayvon Martin or

957
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, all any number of things. You know, Lebron

958
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: James really likes to have his say about politics. Among

959
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: others who are you know, also superstars and worth unimaginable

960
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 1: amounts of money, But but do complain about America a

961
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: lot for people that are living in the free u's

962
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 1: best most prosperous country in the history of the world.

963
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 1: Like someone like Steve Kerr, for example, guys, a millionaire

964
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 1: famous played in the NBA before. Now he's a player

965
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 1: and he's trashing America. But but the moral relatives relativism

966
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: here is what's really so it's just so just enraging. Really,

967
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 1: if you wanted to say, guys, I don't know much

968
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 1: about China, I leave that to other people, and I

969
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 1: just want my players to, you know, focus on what

970
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 1: they do and I want us to be the greatest

971
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: league in the world. And fine, but don't don't say, yeah,

972
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't have anything to say about China, you know whatever,

973
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: because like everyone does bad stuff, man, Like you know,

974
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 1: people are just like no one's perfect. Man, really, Oh

975
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 1: that's I mean, Steve Kerr is apparently a moron. That's

976
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: your gonna louse. We're not perfect either. We're not talking

977
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 1: about perfect their, dude. We're talking about a country that

978
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: has violated its covenant with its own people and is

979
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: now ending out thugs, sometimes in uniform, sometimes not to beat,

980
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 1: bludgeon and shoot them because they don't want the eradication

981
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: of individual rights and democracy in a place that has

982
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 1: had at least a taste of those freedoms in Hong Kong.

983
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you either believe that human beings should have

984
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 1: some sense of some ability to have autonomy and self

985
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: determination or not. But don't do this. Oh well we're

986
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: not perfect either. And the pivot, by the way to

987
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 1: a R fifteens, what does that have to do with anything,

988
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: you Steve Kerry, You unbelievable idiot. And this is a

989
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,040
Speaker 1: guy who's got a lot of ideas. He'll talk about

990
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: politics obviously switches so so he wants to, you know,

991
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: weigh in on a R fifteen owners. But he doesn't

992
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 1: have anything bad, doesn't have anything bad to say about China. No, no,

993
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: of course not, of course not. There's a tough situation

994
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: and we'll try to figure that out. But this is

995
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 1: like the leftist that I know who when they talk

996
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 1: they'll talk about women's rights in this country, and then

997
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 1: you bring up, say the horrific oppression of women, particularly

998
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 1: in the Muslim world and especially in places like say Afghanistan.

999
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 1: They say, well, you know, yeah, but the burka is

1000
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:23,919
Speaker 1: a cultural thing, and yeah, you know, the abusive women

1001
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 1: is a high level, but they have a different culture.

1002
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 1: You know, all this kind of wishywashy mealy mouthed on

1003
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 1: the one hand, on the other cowardice cowardice. And I

1004
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: can't tell Steve Kerr if I had to find it

1005
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: come up with the formula. I don't know how much

1006
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 1: of what he said is just stupidity versus just being

1007
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 1: a whimp. But the pivot to air fifteens is just perfect,

1008
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 1: isn't it. Oh? Yes, Let's compare the violence against citizens

1009
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: and oppression of people in Hong Kong as a top

1010
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: down policy of the largest country in the world with

1011
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 1: the second biggest economy in the world. Let's compare that

1012
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 1: to the random criminal acts of some individuals in this

1013
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:16,919
Speaker 1: country who have gone on mass shooting spreeze. Hong Kong

1014
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 1: is operating concentration camps. Hong Kong is imprisoning Wagers, an

1015
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 1: ethnic minority who are Muslims in the west of the

1016
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 1: country and putting them in re education camps, torturing them,

1017
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: doing all kinds of terrible stuff. And Steve Kerr is like, yeah,

1018
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: but America is not so great either. This is the

1019
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 1: idiocy of the left. I mean, this is and it's

1020
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 1: a it's a common refraineal here. Well, sure, they're doing

1021
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 1: terrible things in this or that country. You know, they're

1022
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 1: they're mutilating people for minor offenses against the Quran in

1023
01:04:55,680 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 1: this country. But you know America has its demons in

1024
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 1: its past. Two Huh, what does that have to do

1025
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: with anything? But the left embraces more relativism all the time.

1026
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 1: They don't understand that there are universal truths that human

1027
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: dignity and human rights. They talk about human rights, but

1028
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 1: then they don't really think that all humans should have them.

1029
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 1: They just use that as a tool as a cudgel

1030
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 1: to bash people or regimes that they don't like, and

1031
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: to make excuses for regimes that they do. Steve Kerr,

1032
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 1: that's right. We can't criticize we're in the NBA, for example,

1033
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 1: shouldn't criticize China because you know, we have people who

1034
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 1: own AAR fifteens. One of the dumbest things I've I've

1035
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: heard of public figure say at a long time. And

1036
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 1: that's that's impressive because in a moment we're going to

1037
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 1: hear from Missieur Justin Trudeau. It looks like Missieur Justin Trudeau,

1038
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 1: who's very woke, very left wing, very liberal. He is

1039
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: a male feminist. He is the anti chauvinist. He does

1040
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: not like mankind the only legs humankind. He does not

1041
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:04,439
Speaker 1: really sound like this, But now we've created a fake

1042
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 1: version of Trudeau for only this show. Trudeau is everything

1043
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: that people on the right like me, have been saying

1044
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 1: about him for a very long time. But now we

1045
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 1: just add into that that he didn't he didn't dress

1046
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: in black face, period. He had a dressing in black

1047
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: face problem, like this is something that he thought was

1048
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 1: clearly thought was really funny or clever or he was

1049
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 1: all He did his numerous times. He did it so

1050
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 1: many times, my friends. And this is on the record.

1051
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:42,120
Speaker 1: He did it so many times that he doesn't even

1052
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 1: remember how many times he did it. That tells you

1053
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 1: a lot. Well. He looks to be I think he's

1054
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 1: still leading in the post. I think he's gonna win

1055
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 1: again in Canada, which is stunning Canada. What are you

1056
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 1: doing up there, my friends? What is going on? But

1057
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 1: Trudeau is the problem is that people know this thing

1058
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 1: now and they can ask him as the questions. So

1059
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 1: they asked him about Oh, I'm sorry, A young person

1060
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 1: asked him about this situation. And here's how Trudeau tried

1061
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:20,480
Speaker 1: to explain to a child in a classroom his black

1062
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 1: face his black face incidents plural. And so, Lara, do

1063
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 1: you want to stand up and ask a question? Why

1064
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 1: did you pick your face? Far? Oh? It was something

1065
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have done because it hurt people. It's not

1066
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: something that you you should do. And that is something

1067
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: that I learned. I didn't know it back then, but

1068
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: I know it now and I'm sorry I hurt people.

1069
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 1: But did you pick your note in your hands? Fan?

1070
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 1: H Yeah, and it was the wrong thing to do.

1071
01:07:56,680 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: I mean the kid, the kid. I know that I've

1072
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: been saying kids shouldn't be involved in politics. Maybe this

1073
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 1: is he's at a classroom, the kids are asking questions.

1074
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,919
Speaker 1: The kid there does raise a very very interesting point there,

1075
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,320
Speaker 1: which is it wasn't just black face. The guy painted

1076
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 1: painted like his whole body a body part. It's just

1077
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 1: this he didn't know was a problem. Justin Trudeau, the

1078
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 1: guys this much of an idiot. He didn't know it was.

1079
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:27,679
Speaker 1: This is the answer he gives this kid. I feel

1080
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: like the kids probably his head thinking who is this?

1081
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:36,599
Speaker 1: Who is this imbecile? So anyway, I'm you know Trudeau, Yes,

1082
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:40,600
Speaker 1: I did not know it then, but I'm sorry or sorry,

1083
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 1: trying to say the way the Canadians. He's sorry, He's

1084
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 1: not that sorry. He's gonna step down. He still thinks

1085
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 1: he should be the leader of a major Western country,

1086
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 1: and Liberals are still going to vote for him. If

1087
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 1: he were a conservative, he would never be allowed to

1088
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: show his face in public again without being yelled at.

1089
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 1: But this is why just the hypocrisy thing keeps coming up.

1090
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 1: Liberals don't really believe in the things they say. They believe,

1091
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:06,720
Speaker 1: and they believe it in so far as it makes

1092
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 1: them feel good and it's politically advantageous. But the belief

1093
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: can always be put aside. The belief is always secondary

1094
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: to the need for power and the acquisition of political

1095
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:22,799
Speaker 1: and cultural authority that can be wielded against other people.

1096
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 1: There is a petty authoritarianism at the heart of every

1097
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:30,560
Speaker 1: left winger. Never forget that Trudeau is one of them.

1098
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 1: There are many many others. But I just thought that

1099
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 1: that the kid asking that question was just was quite

1100
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 1: a moment. Apparently Canada's Prime minister once again. Folks. I

1101
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 1: don't know what I gotta do to get my Canadian

1102
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 1: brothers and sisters to wake up here you are now

1103
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 1: entering the Freedom Hot Titical Operation Center, all sensitive programs

1104
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: musty keeps strictly need to know Team Buck is cleared

1105
01:09:56,960 --> 01:10:01,560
Speaker 1: and ready for the Buck Brief. President Trump's recent announcement

1106
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 1: that he will abandon the Kurds at the Syria Turkey

1107
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 1: border is another example of how President Trump's reckless foreign

1108
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:16,600
Speaker 1: policy mirrors his reckless domestic policy. He even deserts his friends,

1109
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: both at home and abroad. Let me be clear, I

1110
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 1: believe we can't stay in the Middle East indefinitely, but

1111
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:31,680
Speaker 1: abandoning the Kurds, especially so precipitously, who have fought shoulder

1112
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 1: to shoulder with our troops against ISIS, is morally wrong

1113
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 1: and could put American lives in danger. Abandoning the Kurds

1114
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 1: is the wrong thing, the wrong thing to do. It

1115
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 1: should not have come to this, But Republicans in Congress,

1116
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: by repeatedly demonstrating that they're unwilling to hold President Trump

1117
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:57,560
Speaker 1: accountable when he does something wrong, have established a permission

1118
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 1: structure for President Trump's reckless actions in Syria. Republicans in

1119
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 1: Congress need to put their country over Trump. The president

1120
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 1: likes to say he puts America first. In this case,

1121
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:18,639
Speaker 1: President Trump has put putin and Urduwan first, and America

1122
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:22,840
Speaker 1: and its security interests second. Turkey knows where I stand.

1123
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 1: And the last thing, okay, very simple. We had a

1124
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 1: big victory. We left the area. I don't think the

1125
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 1: American people want to see us go back in with

1126
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 1: our military go back into that area again. We won,

1127
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: we left the area. I don't think we want to

1128
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 1: go back in. Let's see what happens. We are going

1129
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 1: to possibly do something very very tough with respect to

1130
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 1: sanctions and other financial things. The situation in northern Syria

1131
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: right now is a mess. Okay, let's just let's establish

1132
01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 1: right now there are no easy answers. This is complicated,

1133
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:04,040
Speaker 1: and anyone who tells you that they know exactly what

1134
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 1: should be done here doesn't know what they're talking about

1135
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:10,440
Speaker 1: because there are too many different variables, too many pitfalls,

1136
01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 1: too many things that could go wrong, and right now

1137
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 1: it's just turned into yet another moment to bash Trump.

1138
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:20,640
Speaker 1: For most people rights, that's what most of the commentary,

1139
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:23,639
Speaker 1: the analysis you hear on the issue of the Kurds

1140
01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 1: in Syria is really all about. Let's let's step back

1141
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: and look at a few core things. First of all,

1142
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: you have the possibility of what would be an ISIS

1143
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:37,720
Speaker 1: jailbreak in northern Syria if the eleven thousand or so

1144
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 1: ISIS fighters currently being held by YPG, Kurdish militia and

1145
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,720
Speaker 1: Syrian Defense forces. Really so the Syrian Defense Forces are

1146
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:49,680
Speaker 1: about half Kurdish, half Arab, but the Kurdish fighters are

1147
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 1: really the backbone of it, especially in these northern areas

1148
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 1: of Syria, and they have in their custody eleven thousand

1149
01:12:56,160 --> 01:13:01,839
Speaker 1: ISIS fighters. The Turks have already launched an incursion into

1150
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:06,200
Speaker 1: northern Syria and are clearing out some areas, and now

1151
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 1: the belief is that they're just going to create They're

1152
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 1: going to carve out a Turkish protectorate in northern Syria

1153
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 1: and push out the Kurds from that area to give

1154
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 1: them a buffer zone, effectively, so that they don't have

1155
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 1: what they believe to be and what is technically listed

1156
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 1: as a terrorist group, the PKK on their border, a

1157
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:30,880
Speaker 1: separatist Marxist guerrilla group that's been around for decades. So

1158
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 1: that's what the Turks are doing now. The Turks are

1159
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 1: being unhelpful in this regard, but the Turks also just

1160
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:39,640
Speaker 1: like the Russians in Ukraine, The advantage that they have

1161
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:41,760
Speaker 1: over us in Ukraine is that they care a lot more,

1162
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: and they're right there. The advantage the Turks have in

1163
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 1: the situation over us is they care a whole lot

1164
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 1: more and this is on their doorsteps. So we can

1165
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 1: try to back them off, and the President was talking

1166
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 1: about that there. We can push them with economic sanctions perhaps,

1167
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 1: but are Touan from what I saw reported today, is

1168
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:04,160
Speaker 1: threatening to say, you know what, if you guys try

1169
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 1: anything with us, We're just going to open the floodgates

1170
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 1: of refugees from the Syrian Civil War into Europe. How

1171
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 1: about that? So er Towan is also willing to play rough,

1172
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:19,200
Speaker 1: make things, make things tougher on us. It's a very

1173
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 1: complicated situation. I have a tremendous amount of sympathy for

1174
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:25,799
Speaker 1: and feel very badly about what's going on for Kurdish

1175
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 1: fighters in northern Syria right now. I believe they've been

1176
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve casualties from the Turkish incursion so far

1177
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 1: as the numbers are very low, but that could escalate rapidly.

1178
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: But the truth is the Kurds fought beside our soldiers

1179
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:44,439
Speaker 1: in Iraq bravely. Kurds have fought beside our soldiers in

1180
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,880
Speaker 1: Syria bravely. All the troops that I know, and I

1181
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 1: know many of them who have worked alongside Kurds, say

1182
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:53,720
Speaker 1: that they are honorable, they are good fighters, and they

1183
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 1: don't have these these same penetration problems where you have

1184
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 1: some radical will. This has happened many times with Sunni

1185
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 1: Arabs in Iraq with different different groups, usually Pashtuns in Afghanistan,

1186
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 1: who will infiltrate the armed forces that we're trying to train,

1187
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 1: and then we'll turn on our trainers, so called green

1188
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 1: on green on blue incidents. We don't. We haven't had

1189
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:26,679
Speaker 1: that with the Kurds, and they they prevented likely hundreds,

1190
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:29,680
Speaker 1: if not perhaps even thousands of casualties. Probably would have

1191
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:33,040
Speaker 1: been hundreds, but hundreds of casualties if the US had

1192
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:37,760
Speaker 1: to do the house to house fighting and clearing of Rocca. Okay, now,

1193
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 1: so I understand these different namics, but let's also remember

1194
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:44,320
Speaker 1: that the Kurds needed to defeat ISIS too. ISIS would

1195
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:46,879
Speaker 1: come in after the Curds, so we help them defend

1196
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 1: themselves and their territory. So they weren't just some proxy

1197
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 1: force for US that had no skin in the game.

1198
01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:55,559
Speaker 1: They had all their skin in the game, so to speak.

1199
01:15:56,280 --> 01:15:58,719
Speaker 1: They were all trying to fight against the Islamic State,

1200
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:03,760
Speaker 1: and usial forces in the United States Air Force gave

1201
01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:08,799
Speaker 1: them critical advantages in the battlefield that kept their casualties

1202
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:10,599
Speaker 1: from me much higher than they would have otherwise been.

1203
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:14,439
Speaker 1: But now we look at okay, fine, what are we

1204
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,880
Speaker 1: really Trump has said that fifty soldiers or so will

1205
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:20,760
Speaker 1: be US soldiers really moved out of these areas, which

1206
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 1: means that the trip wire for Turkish forces isn't in

1207
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 1: place the way that it was. We still have about

1208
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:30,200
Speaker 1: a thousand troops down from I think about two thousand

1209
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 1: in Syria. And I've been I've been advocating for we've

1210
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:36,280
Speaker 1: got to get them out. What is the let's go

1211
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:40,320
Speaker 1: through the alternative, because I keep seeing this said and

1212
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 1: written that the endless war trope is unfair and not true.

1213
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 1: And you know, you can't just say, oh well, if

1214
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 1: you don't, if you don't want our troops to come out,

1215
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: then you're in an advocate for endless war. Okay, Well,

1216
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:57,720
Speaker 1: what is the alternative? Remember, it's not the same thing,

1217
01:16:57,720 --> 01:16:59,760
Speaker 1: and this is very important, It's not the same thing

1218
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 1: to leave troops behind in a country at peace, who

1219
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:06,640
Speaker 1: are the guests of that nation? Okay? Then it is

1220
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:08,680
Speaker 1: to leave troops in a war, in an active war

1221
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 1: zone with multiple parties vying for territory, vying for power,

1222
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 1: and support of different factions on the ground, and they're

1223
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 1: still blood being shed. This is just a fancy way

1224
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:22,879
Speaker 1: of saying We're a long way, not a fancy way

1225
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 1: of saying that. Syria, South Korea, it's not Japan, it's

1226
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:31,799
Speaker 1: not Germany. We're not at the end of some massive

1227
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 1: war where now we have established a regime and there's

1228
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 1: the establishment of a regime in place that wants US

1229
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 1: troops there or that has allowed a US base to

1230
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:44,800
Speaker 1: be there. We are in a war zone in Syria, Okay,

1231
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 1: We're in the middle of an active war. And what

1232
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 1: are we supposed to do it? How long are we

1233
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 1: supposed to stay there? Where people keep saying that precipitous withdrawal. Okay, Well,

1234
01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 1: is there such a thing as is there any future

1235
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:03,599
Speaker 1: in which if we remove all one thousand troops from

1236
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 1: Syria it does not seem like a participious withdrawal. Well,

1237
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 1: the only way that could happen is if Syria is

1238
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 1: at peace and the factions that are there are no

1239
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:14,679
Speaker 1: longer fun. Does anyone think that's going to happen anytime soon?

1240
01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:19,400
Speaker 1: The civil war in Lebanon raged on for about fifteen years.

1241
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:24,000
Speaker 1: Syria has been going on for about five You have

1242
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:27,719
Speaker 1: the Russians there, the Turks are involved, the Iranians are involved,

1243
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:31,840
Speaker 1: all these different regional players, and we think we should

1244
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:36,760
Speaker 1: just leave a thousand troops there because what, what do

1245
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 1: we even want the future of Syria to look like?

1246
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:43,479
Speaker 1: Why haven't we heard about that? But we want there

1247
01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 1: to be elections. If Syria is no longer really a country,

1248
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:49,839
Speaker 1: as I keep saying, there is still a Syrian national government,

1249
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 1: it happens to be the Assad regime, and they maintain

1250
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 1: control over most of the major population centers. But so

1251
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 1: are we committed to stay in because we helped the

1252
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:03,280
Speaker 1: courage to feed iis? Are we committed to stay forever? Okay,

1253
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:06,719
Speaker 1: We're committed to stay based on conditions on the ground,

1254
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:08,720
Speaker 1: because that's what we committed to an Afghanistan. We've been

1255
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 1: there for almost twenty years. It's always ground based conditions, folks.

1256
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:20,280
Speaker 1: The national security establishment seems to never want us to

1257
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 1: stop having troops in any place. I think it's so

1258
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:27,000
Speaker 1: rich too that Chuck Schumer. They're saying, oh, we're pulling

1259
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:29,280
Speaker 1: out our troops, We're bannoning at Kurdish illas. What was

1260
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:32,639
Speaker 1: it when Obama pulled out troops, didn't want a status

1261
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 1: of forces agreement, didn't want to have troops behind in Iraq,

1262
01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 1: and did a victory lap for pulling troops out. What

1263
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:41,599
Speaker 1: was that? Was that? Abandoning the Iraqi military, the Iraqi

1264
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:44,720
Speaker 1: troops that we were training and police and what was

1265
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:46,720
Speaker 1: that exactly? Oh, and then the rise of ISIS. By

1266
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 1: the way, ISIS is not going anywhere really, it's an ideology.

1267
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 1: So there will continue to be ISIS in surgeon elements

1268
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:58,920
Speaker 1: operating in Syria for the foreseeable and across the region.

1269
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 1: But now if Turkey's involvement in the area means that

1270
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:06,680
Speaker 1: the Turks are going to take control or take some

1271
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:11,559
Speaker 1: responsibility for some area of Syria, we don't want it

1272
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 1: to be our responsibility. And that's what I think people

1273
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 1: keep forgetting here. We just don't want ISIS to be there.

1274
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:20,479
Speaker 1: You know, look at Afghanistan, we didn't want al Qaeda

1275
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:22,680
Speaker 1: and the Taliban to be there, and all of a

1276
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:25,799
Speaker 1: sudden that turned into well, now let's rebuild this country

1277
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:28,560
Speaker 1: and make it a functional place where there's democracy and

1278
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:33,679
Speaker 1: human rights and sovereignty and territorial integrity and can defend

1279
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:36,600
Speaker 1: itself against outside invaders. All of a sudden, we're rebuilding Afghanistan.

1280
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 1: We've been rebuilding it for twenty years almost. We don't

1281
01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 1: want to be rebuilding Syria. Enough is enough. We never

1282
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:46,759
Speaker 1: I just see this player. We'd never learned a lesson.

1283
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:50,479
Speaker 1: And of course it's going to be hard. Of course,

1284
01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:52,680
Speaker 1: it's going to be a challenge. You're gonna have to

1285
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:55,880
Speaker 1: make trade offs. They're going to be losses. Bad things

1286
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 1: happen at the end of wars. That's just that's true.

1287
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 1: You know. We we like to think of World War

1288
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 1: Two is the kind of victory that we want to have.

1289
01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:07,960
Speaker 1: Right in many ways, absolutely the case defeated Nazi Germany,

1290
01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 1: defeated imperial Japan. We also carved up the world then

1291
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 1: condemned about half of the world to communist slavery and totalitarianism. Yeah,

1292
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:24,680
Speaker 1: that's what happened after the Second World War, you know

1293
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:26,360
Speaker 1: we Yeah, it was a big victory for us, and

1294
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 1: it led to American prosperity. On these great things had

1295
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 1: also almost led to a nuclear war that would have

1296
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 1: destroyed the world because we didn't say afterwards, a whole

1297
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:38,080
Speaker 1: on a second Eastern Europe. We're not you know we

1298
01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 1: we East of Europe needs to have elections, Soviets you

1299
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:43,840
Speaker 1: need to back off. Come on, No, we said, all right, well,

1300
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, you take your half, We'll take our half.

1301
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:50,360
Speaker 1: See you later. Was the Korean War a huge a

1302
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:55,280
Speaker 1: huge success. Well, we save South Korea from being a

1303
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:57,840
Speaker 1: part of North Korea. But we also eventually said, okay, well,

1304
01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:01,840
Speaker 1: I guess North Korea is staying. Find me a war

1305
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:03,559
Speaker 1: and I'll find you difficult choices that had to be

1306
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 1: made at the end of it. This stuff is never easy.

1307
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 1: It's never straightforward. Do I think that it stinks that

1308
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:13,400
Speaker 1: we are leaving Kurdish allies in the battlefield in a

1309
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:17,519
Speaker 1: position where they have to fend for themselves. Absolutely, But

1310
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 1: do I understand why the president is just heat? They

1311
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 1: never tell them that the troops can come home, folks.

1312
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 1: Can they come up from Afghanistan? Oh no, you can't

1313
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:28,360
Speaker 1: do that. Can they come up from a rock? Oh no,

1314
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 1: that's a terrible idea, because they come home from Syria. No,

1315
01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 1: when I say come home, I don't I don't mean

1316
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 1: they have to go actually home. I just bean not

1317
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:39,840
Speaker 1: deployed in a forward country in a war zone. Do

1318
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:43,040
Speaker 1: we ever get to scale down? Do we have to

1319
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 1: continue the spread of our military commitments all over the

1320
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:51,519
Speaker 1: globe and make them permanent? I mean, I remember this

1321
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:53,920
Speaker 1: was what John McCain was saying, Yeah, fifty years in Afghanistan.

1322
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 1: Whatever we have to do. No, no, we don't want

1323
01:22:56,880 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 1: to do that. That was a bad idea. And I

1324
01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 1: think that in no small part there are a lot

1325
01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:04,960
Speaker 1: of people who don't want there to be a change

1326
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 1: here because then they might have to do a little

1327
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:13,080
Speaker 1: bit of self reflection. What half the neo cons what

1328
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:18,240
Speaker 1: half the half the interventionists, the military interventionists wrought in

1329
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 1: the Middle East and around the world. And the last

1330
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:23,400
Speaker 1: twenty years some of you are saying about the last

1331
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, seventy years, But let's say the last twenty years.

1332
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 1: Has it been a history of successes? Is this something

1333
01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:34,160
Speaker 1: you want to continue to do? And I always think

1334
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: about it this way. I mean, I joined up with

1335
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 1: the CIA after nine eleven because I wanted to help

1336
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:41,599
Speaker 1: my country. I wanted to fight al Qaeda and the terrorists.

1337
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:49,040
Speaker 1: But would I go to northern Syria. Would I go

1338
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:54,000
Speaker 1: to northern Syria and try to get involved in this

1339
01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:55,680
Speaker 1: is the civil war? I mean, as much as I

1340
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:58,120
Speaker 1: like the Kurds, I think the answer is no, because

1341
01:23:58,120 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 1: I don't think we have a core national security interest

1342
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:05,000
Speaker 1: still at stake in Syria. Has the United States broken

1343
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:08,760
Speaker 1: its commitment to the Syrians as a result of political

1344
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 1: and battlefield realities? Now, yeah, I think that's true. And

1345
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 1: is that fair? No, it is not. But this is

1346
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 1: a nasty and messy business. And until somebody comes up

1347
01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:23,160
Speaker 1: with an answer that doesn't involve all troops stay forever.

1348
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I think the President has the right instinct here,

1349
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:34,680
Speaker 1: which is we've got to stop doing this. The alternative

1350
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: to not stopping is to keep going, And to keep

1351
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 1: going means the continuation of US military commitments far in

1352
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:45,600
Speaker 1: excess of what is wise. And I think what is

1353
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:49,720
Speaker 1: really possible for us to continue. The Clinton dynasty is

1354
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 1: not over, my friends, This is true on a couple

1355
01:24:55,880 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 1: of levels. First off, I don't think that Harry has

1356
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 1: completely abandoned all hope of running in twenty twenty. And

1357
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 1: I know I'm not the only one who says it,

1358
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:10,679
Speaker 1: but I used to ask a few people that would

1359
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 1: come on the Hill TV show in DC when I

1360
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 1: was the host there, I used to ask Hillary are

1361
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:19,639
Speaker 1: going to run? And they would look at me like, oh,

1362
01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:23,040
Speaker 1: such a ridiculous question. Of course Hillary is not going

1363
01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:25,639
Speaker 1: to run. Well, now she's talking about how she could

1364
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 1: beat Trump again, and she's out there in public and

1365
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:32,599
Speaker 1: she's part of the hashtag resistance. And I don't think

1366
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:37,040
Speaker 1: anybody who understands who Hillary Clinton really is deep inside

1367
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:41,719
Speaker 1: knows that she's holding out that there's a some chance.

1368
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 1: I've just been saying ten percent. I think that's about right.

1369
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:45,559
Speaker 1: There's about ten percent shot she gets back into it.

1370
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:48,640
Speaker 1: Anne has the backing of establishment Democrats and it's not

1371
01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:53,720
Speaker 1: a total farce. But speaking of total farces, now in Westchester,

1372
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:57,040
Speaker 1: the powers that be in the Democratic Party are pitching

1373
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 1: Chelsea Clinton. That's right. Now, we have to have Chelsea

1374
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:04,320
Speaker 1: Clinton going to enter politics. I knew this would happen.

1375
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:08,920
Speaker 1: I've been predicting it all along, and I do just

1376
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 1: think this is gross. Now, gross doesn't mean she can't

1377
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 1: do that or it's legal. I'm not saying that, of

1378
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:18,599
Speaker 1: course she can run, right. Nepotism in politics in general

1379
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 1: is gross. It's not good when it's Chelsea Clinton. It's

1380
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:27,680
Speaker 1: not good when it's a Bush. It's not good anywhere

1381
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:31,880
Speaker 1: across the board. We do not have feudal lords in

1382
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:36,559
Speaker 1: this country. We are we're not in a monarchy. We

1383
01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 1: shouldn't think that people should get our vote based upon

1384
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:43,120
Speaker 1: their last name being the same as somebody else who

1385
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 1: once got our votes. It's true for Clinton's, It's going

1386
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,599
Speaker 1: to be true for Trump's too, my friends. I'm sorry,

1387
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not a dynasty person. I think it's just wrong.

1388
01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:58,719
Speaker 1: It shows you that celebrity and influence and power matter

1389
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 1: much more in our politics than ability, merit, hard work.

1390
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:08,719
Speaker 1: Chelsea Clinton has never had a real job in her life.

1391
01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:12,400
Speaker 1: All the jobs she had she got she's at Clinton All,

1392
01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:15,519
Speaker 1: Waltson this place, Waltson in that place. Never lasted anywhere

1393
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:17,559
Speaker 1: for more than a couple of years. You know, she

1394
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:19,599
Speaker 1: got paid to ba I think she got paid seven

1395
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:22,719
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars to be a special correspondent at NBC News.

1396
01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:26,839
Speaker 1: The worst on air performance I've ever seen on national

1397
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:31,280
Speaker 1: TV from a paid correspondent was Chelsea Clinton seven hundred

1398
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:33,600
Speaker 1: grand folks, as if she needed the money just to

1399
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:37,000
Speaker 1: pay off to the Clinton Dynasty courtesy of NBC. Oh,

1400
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,760
Speaker 1: but she's gonna run because her whole life, people have

1401
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 1: been telling her how special she is, even though she's

1402
01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:47,080
Speaker 1: never done anything really special and her parents are really corrupt.

1403
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 1: We just completed a negotiation with China. We're doing very well.

1404
01:27:52,439 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 1: We're having another one tomorrow. I'm meeting with the Vice

1405
01:27:55,880 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 1: Premiere over at the White House, and I think it's

1406
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:02,800
Speaker 1: going really well. I will say, I think it's going

1407
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:05,640
Speaker 1: really well. So we had a very very good negotiation

1408
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,800
Speaker 1: with China. They'll be speaking a little bit later, but

1409
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:12,679
Speaker 1: they're basically wrapping it up and we're going to see

1410
01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:18,439
Speaker 1: them tomorrow right here, and it's going very well. Trump

1411
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 1: administration hoping to get sub kind of deal with China.

1412
01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:26,280
Speaker 1: The markets surging today, people are saying because of optimism

1413
01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:29,519
Speaker 1: on the possibility of a trade deal. Chinese Vice Premier

1414
01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:33,840
Speaker 1: Lie Hey will be in Washington. Is in Washington today,

1415
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:36,360
Speaker 1: the first time they've been high level trade talks with

1416
01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:41,519
Speaker 1: American officials in months. And there's a new set of

1417
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:44,679
Speaker 1: tariffs for on all Chinese exports the US. They're they're

1418
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:47,519
Speaker 1: gonna hit in the middle of December. So this is

1419
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:52,599
Speaker 1: perhaps a last moment in time where you might get

1420
01:28:52,640 --> 01:28:56,920
Speaker 1: some kind of deal, and if you don't, you're gonna

1421
01:28:56,960 --> 01:29:00,400
Speaker 1: have tariffs that hit both sides and could have some

1422
01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:03,920
Speaker 1: really nasty effects on both economies. Although it has so

1423
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:06,960
Speaker 1: far hurt China's economy more than it has hurt ours,

1424
01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:10,639
Speaker 1: I think that's that's very very much the case. It's

1425
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:15,000
Speaker 1: true the not necessarily conventional, but the smart wisdom. I'd

1426
01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:16,760
Speaker 1: say the people that pay attention that I think know

1427
01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:20,080
Speaker 1: what they're talking about, have been anticipating the possibility of

1428
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:24,160
Speaker 1: a Chinese a piecemeal deal or the start of a

1429
01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:28,160
Speaker 1: piecemeal deal with China on trade to stall the next

1430
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:30,559
Speaker 1: round of tariffs from coming in and also to give

1431
01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 1: a little bit more political breathing room for the president.

1432
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:35,640
Speaker 1: I have to say, I think that there will not

1433
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,360
Speaker 1: be a deal. I don't even think there'll be a

1434
01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:40,080
Speaker 1: deal of any kind. There might be a stall of

1435
01:29:40,120 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 1: the tariffs, but that's not really a deal. That's just

1436
01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:47,240
Speaker 1: kicking the can down the road. I don't see anything substantive,

1437
01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:51,280
Speaker 1: substantive either of those ways. I like to say it, well,

1438
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:54,200
Speaker 1: we'll take it either way, buck. I don't see either

1439
01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:56,840
Speaker 1: one of those things happening at this juncture, at this time,

1440
01:29:56,960 --> 01:29:59,200
Speaker 1: so we'll see if I'm right. I tend to be right.

1441
01:29:59,240 --> 01:30:03,519
Speaker 1: You know that speaking of China, one thing I did

1442
01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:06,080
Speaker 1: not get you before I meant to get to were

1443
01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:09,840
Speaker 1: these uh, was what happened when you had a journalists

1444
01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:16,160
Speaker 1: asking James Harden Russell Westbrook about the China situation. Here's

1445
01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:20,599
Speaker 1: how those two NBA superstars reacted Play three Hi Christina

1446
01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:24,080
Speaker 1: mcfallin CNN. The NBA has always been a league that

1447
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:26,519
Speaker 1: prides itself on its player and its coaches being able

1448
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:30,240
Speaker 1: to speak out openly about political and societal affairs. I

1449
01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:32,800
Speaker 1: just wonder, after the events of this week and the

1450
01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:36,719
Speaker 1: fallout we've seen, whether you would both feel differently about

1451
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:42,360
Speaker 1: speaking out in that way in future questions. It's a

1452
01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:45,160
Speaker 1: legitimate question. This is an event that's happened this week

1453
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:49,679
Speaker 1: during during the NBA and the answer this particular question

1454
01:30:49,720 --> 01:30:54,040
Speaker 1: has not been answered. Yep, NBA trying to shut it

1455
01:30:54,080 --> 01:31:00,599
Speaker 1: down basketball questions only basketball questions only. Have you ever

1456
01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:02,880
Speaker 1: heard that, by the way, have you ever heard that before?

1457
01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:07,439
Speaker 1: When when a journalist has asked NBA players, would completely

1458
01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:09,040
Speaker 1: I agree with to see ann reporter there, It's a

1459
01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:15,759
Speaker 1: completely legitimate question. You ever heard that about presidential election,

1460
01:31:15,920 --> 01:31:20,160
Speaker 1: about Black Lives Matter, about you know, police brutality, you know,

1461
01:31:20,720 --> 01:31:22,519
Speaker 1: name an issue that has come up in politics that

1462
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:28,040
Speaker 1: where there has been a really widespread and clear voice

1463
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:32,719
Speaker 1: from the from people within the NBA ranks speaking out,

1464
01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:36,320
Speaker 1: and I've never seen that before. All basketball questions, Aliva,

1465
01:31:36,439 --> 01:31:39,439
Speaker 1: that PR person was, oh my gosh, she's obviously a

1466
01:31:39,439 --> 01:31:42,920
Speaker 1: little bit freaked out the prospect of Russell Westbrook and

1467
01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:47,840
Speaker 1: James Harden answering questions about the NBA. I've just I've

1468
01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:50,920
Speaker 1: just got to tell you, it's it's a shame. It's

1469
01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:53,760
Speaker 1: a shame that this is the way it is. Um.

1470
01:31:53,840 --> 01:31:56,439
Speaker 1: I would really like to see you know, you know who,

1471
01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:58,040
Speaker 1: you know who really could do it. I just just

1472
01:31:58,080 --> 01:32:00,759
Speaker 1: have Lebron James come out and say that we believe

1473
01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:02,760
Speaker 1: that all people deserve freedom and we stand with the

1474
01:32:02,800 --> 01:32:05,360
Speaker 1: desires of the people of Hong Kong. Such an easy

1475
01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:07,960
Speaker 1: thing from to do. Think about what that would mean,

1476
01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:10,960
Speaker 1: because you know, these plays NBA players, we always they're

1477
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:16,519
Speaker 1: superstars in this country, sure, but in China because you know,

1478
01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:21,439
Speaker 1: these American athletes, especially in the NBA, they're like gods.

1479
01:32:22,120 --> 01:32:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're just they're so revered because they're

1480
01:32:25,240 --> 01:32:27,720
Speaker 1: the best in the world right and they have a

1481
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:30,439
Speaker 1: lot of cultural residence over there. I mean, if I'm

1482
01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:33,599
Speaker 1: Lebron James and I'm already worth for all intents and purposes,

1483
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:34,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if he's worth a billion

1484
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:37,479
Speaker 1: dollars yet, but he's pretty much worth a billion dollars

1485
01:32:37,640 --> 01:32:40,200
Speaker 1: if he is, and he will be thanks to compound

1486
01:32:40,240 --> 01:32:44,759
Speaker 1: interest in continuing endorsements. You know, you're already basically a billionaire.

1487
01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:46,080
Speaker 1: You never have to work another day in your life.

1488
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:47,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna want to. You're the best basketball player in

1489
01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:49,840
Speaker 1: the world. Someboud say the best basketball player ever. You

1490
01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:55,160
Speaker 1: have a huge platform, and you could really inject hope

1491
01:32:56,040 --> 01:32:59,800
Speaker 1: into the hearts of the people of Hong Kong who

1492
01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:02,759
Speaker 1: are fighting for not remember it's not just their freedom.

1493
01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:07,280
Speaker 1: This has implications for Taiwan, has implications for China internally,

1494
01:33:07,360 --> 01:33:09,519
Speaker 1: has implicated. I mean, people are gonna watch what happens

1495
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:13,160
Speaker 1: here and it will matter to future generations. What's the

1496
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:15,600
Speaker 1: worst they canna happen is if Lebron James says that,

1497
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:17,400
Speaker 1: what are they what are they gonna do? They they

1498
01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:20,080
Speaker 1: are fire Lebron James. I don't think so. People aren't

1499
01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:22,160
Speaker 1: gonna watch him play basketball. People aren't going to support

1500
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:25,479
Speaker 1: of course not. You know, there's a greater burden on

1501
01:33:25,560 --> 01:33:29,439
Speaker 1: the truly powerful and the truly wealthy and influential to

1502
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:32,120
Speaker 1: show I mean, I think there should be a greater

1503
01:33:32,160 --> 01:33:35,200
Speaker 1: burden from to show courage because if they don't. You know,

1504
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:36,639
Speaker 1: it's one thing to say I don't want to get

1505
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:38,320
Speaker 1: involved in politics because I don't want them to shut

1506
01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:40,080
Speaker 1: down my bakery, and then I you know, I can't

1507
01:33:40,439 --> 01:33:42,400
Speaker 1: pay my bills and feed my family. I get that

1508
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:45,360
Speaker 1: not everybody should have to be in politics, but if

1509
01:33:45,400 --> 01:33:47,080
Speaker 1: you are a public figure, and now I sound a

1510
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:49,920
Speaker 1: little bit like Spider Man, with great power comes great responsibility.

1511
01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:53,080
Speaker 1: Previously Mark knew it was going there. But it's true.

1512
01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:57,559
Speaker 1: Lebron James has has tremendous power. I don't just mean

1513
01:33:57,560 --> 01:33:59,519
Speaker 1: to pick on him, I'm just but any number of

1514
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:02,840
Speaker 1: these players, now, I'm sure they'd say, oh, but back

1515
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:05,439
Speaker 1: there are other players who would suffer the cut out

1516
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:08,080
Speaker 1: of the Chinese market. I know that there's but these

1517
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:11,280
Speaker 1: these things either matter or they don't. Because it didn't,

1518
01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:15,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter to you know, the Portland Trailblazers that

1519
01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:18,280
Speaker 1: Israel is being treated like a pariah state. You know,

1520
01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:21,000
Speaker 1: they're they're fine with that. So it's not like they

1521
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:23,599
Speaker 1: won't do politics. They just won't do these politics. They

1522
01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:26,639
Speaker 1: won't do the let's help the protesters in Hong Kong politics.

1523
01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:31,200
Speaker 1: And I think that we're forced to ask the question why,

1524
01:34:31,280 --> 01:34:33,920
Speaker 1: and I think we have a whole bunch of very

1525
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:42,120
Speaker 1: clear but troubling and disappointing answers. That's what we'll see this.

1526
01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:44,759
Speaker 1: This would be the opportunity Alitics is one major player

1527
01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:46,559
Speaker 1: to stand up, and I think it would really mean

1528
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:50,519
Speaker 1: a lot, not just to our perceptions of the NBA,

1529
01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:52,680
Speaker 1: I think we mean a lot to the protesters themselves

1530
01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:55,320
Speaker 1: in Hong Kong. I think it would I mean, look,

1531
01:34:55,400 --> 01:34:57,400
Speaker 1: this all started with one tweet from somebody I'd never

1532
01:34:57,439 --> 01:35:00,599
Speaker 1: heard of before. It was a Houston Rockets generalman, right thing.

1533
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:03,080
Speaker 1: I've never even heard of the guy before, and that's

1534
01:35:03,080 --> 01:35:06,200
Speaker 1: how this whole thing got going. Imagine what a true

1535
01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:08,680
Speaker 1: superstar could do if he's willing to stand up and

1536
01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:11,519
Speaker 1: support them. But so, I don't think there's gonna be

1537
01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:14,880
Speaker 1: a trade deal with China anytime soon. And I also

1538
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:16,680
Speaker 1: think that you're not going to have anyone from within

1539
01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:19,960
Speaker 1: the NBA stand up and really show some courage. But man,

1540
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:22,120
Speaker 1: it would be it would be quite a moment. It

1541
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:25,360
Speaker 1: would be one for the history books. I'm hoping they

1542
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:27,680
Speaker 1: proved me wrong on some of these things. I like

1543
01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:33,160
Speaker 1: to be proven wrong. I would I would be celebrating

1544
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:37,160
Speaker 1: a prediction that I finally was on the wrong side of.

1545
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:40,600
Speaker 1: But I think you're likely to see the situation with

1546
01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:43,640
Speaker 1: the NBA just continue as is where now they're just

1547
01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:45,439
Speaker 1: on lockdown and hoping that they can make this whole

1548
01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:48,280
Speaker 1: thing pass. Except for Steve Kerr. Maybe he'll say something

1549
01:35:48,280 --> 01:36:06,600
Speaker 1: stupid tomorrow. It's time for roll call. Oh, team, I

1550
01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:09,360
Speaker 1: missed you, so I don't like being away for a

1551
01:36:09,400 --> 01:36:15,479
Speaker 1: couple of days. Vegas, Baby Vegas. I was there. It

1552
01:36:15,520 --> 01:36:20,519
Speaker 1: was fun. I came, I saw I conquered the buffet table.

1553
01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:23,400
Speaker 1: I'm not a gambler, so I can't pretend that I

1554
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:26,120
Speaker 1: don't gamble. And it's not for I don't have a

1555
01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:30,840
Speaker 1: moral more. What's the word a rejection of it or

1556
01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:36,320
Speaker 1: in a objection objection? Thank you? Look at you coming

1557
01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:38,760
Speaker 1: up with the words for the radio host on the spot, Well, don't, sir,

1558
01:36:39,080 --> 01:36:40,680
Speaker 1: I don't have a moral objection to it. I just

1559
01:36:40,880 --> 01:36:43,200
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I don't well, I don't understand it is,

1560
01:36:43,240 --> 01:36:46,800
Speaker 1: and I don't know the rules really, and also I

1561
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:48,640
Speaker 1: don't see how it's fun. But I don't you know,

1562
01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:50,479
Speaker 1: if people like it, they like it. Although the slot

1563
01:36:50,479 --> 01:36:52,639
Speaker 1: machine thing, I just don't get that at all. You're

1564
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:54,719
Speaker 1: just giving somebody your money to stare at a screen.

1565
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:57,360
Speaker 1: That's not that exciting. I'd rather play a video I'd

1566
01:36:57,439 --> 01:37:00,240
Speaker 1: rather play video games for money, no question. And I

1567
01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:03,240
Speaker 1: totally understand. I mean, I I got way too good

1568
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:05,800
Speaker 1: at FIFA on PlayStation for a while for my own good.

1569
01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:10,439
Speaker 1: I was spending my life talking trash to you know,

1570
01:37:10,600 --> 01:37:14,000
Speaker 1: kids in Germany and Japan and wherever, you know, playing

1571
01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:17,640
Speaker 1: them online. And FIFA the soccer soccer video game, I

1572
01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:21,559
Speaker 1: got quite good. I had skills ski lllz because that's

1573
01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:24,120
Speaker 1: how the cool kids spell it, all right. So I

1574
01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:25,439
Speaker 1: was in Vegas. There was a lot of fun, had

1575
01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:28,200

1607
01:38:57,080 --> 01:39:01,840
Speaker 1: and these often contentious times a laugh is needed. Thanks

Speaker 1: for continue to bring us the best research, news and

1609
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:07,959
Speaker 1: information with supreme intellect and fun impressions, bad singing, unintentional rhyming, accents,

1610

Speaker 1: et cetera. Love it all. Oh yes, and bring back

1611

01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:16,720
Speaker 1: Christ and thank you so much. Take my breath. Though

1613
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:19,479
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, I was about to

1614
01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:21,439
Speaker 1: go there. I was about to go there, but I decided.

1615
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:25,559
Speaker 1: I think she said she enjoys laughing at you. Yeah, yeah, fine,

1616
01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:30,240
Speaker 1: she's probably wouldn't take that as a compliment. Probably correct. Yeah.

1617
01:39:30,920 --> 01:39:32,920
Speaker 1: But but if I sing enough, the singing will get better.

1618
01:39:33,760 --> 01:39:35,840
Speaker 1: I try that in the shower, just not in front

1619
01:39:35,880 --> 01:39:39,320
Speaker 1: of a microphone, please. Alright, alright, somebody wrote something in

1620
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:45,400
Speaker 1: here about Oh here we go, tim right. Chadwick Moore

1621
01:39:45,479 --> 01:39:48,960
Speaker 1: was an excellent choice as guest host. His humor, sarcasm,

1622
01:39:48,960 --> 01:39:51,679
Speaker 1: and insights regarding political power as a driving force behind

1623
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:56,160
Speaker 1: lgbt Q activism our confirmation of what I have observed

1624
01:39:56,200 --> 01:40:00,880
Speaker 1: having my two children in major university campus environ. I

1625
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:03,760
Speaker 1: particularly enjoyed his conversation with Rick Grinnell, who seems to

1626
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 1: be an outstanding representative for US values overseas. The initiative

1627
01:40:07,439 --> 01:40:11,720
Speaker 1: to promote human rights for homosexuals globally, specifically among you

1628
01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:14,200
Speaker 1: on members states with questionable human rights records is somehow

1629
01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:18,640
Speaker 1: revolved by the Libs, which seems grossly antithetical to the

1630
01:40:18,640 --> 01:40:22,559
Speaker 1: hard left virtue signaling and goes largely unreported in the

1631
01:40:22,640 --> 01:40:26,680
Speaker 1: fever to disrespect anyone who breaks with intersectional political orthodoxy.

1632
01:40:26,680 --> 01:40:29,439
Speaker 1: Thanks for having Moore and Grinnell in the Freedom Hunt.

1633
01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:32,840
Speaker 1: These two guys are thought provoking, brave conservative, and seemed

1634
01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:34,559
Speaker 1: like they'd be cool to chat with over a whisky

1635
01:40:34,640 --> 01:40:38,639
Speaker 1: or two shields high. Tim oh Man, thank you so much.

1636
01:40:38,720 --> 01:40:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm I'm glad that you uh, I'm glad that you

1637
01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:48,759
Speaker 1: enjoyed the guest hosting, so thank you. Good to go.

1638
01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:52,439
Speaker 1: Let's here, I've got I've got to switch to so

1639
01:40:52,479 --> 01:40:55,360
Speaker 1: we get the unread filter. So otherwise I'm going through

1640
01:40:55,400 --> 01:40:59,200
Speaker 1: things we've already done here on the show. Albert rides

1641
01:40:59,240 --> 01:41:01,519
Speaker 1: buck love the show. Been trying to get my right

1642
01:41:01,520 --> 01:41:05,280
Speaker 1: wing best friend to listen to you, but he's a jackass. Okay,

1643
01:41:05,760 --> 01:41:08,440
Speaker 1: I'd tune in on a regular basis. Let's talk about forgiveness.

1644
01:41:08,840 --> 01:41:10,960
Speaker 1: You mentioned the other day about the forgiveness of the

1645
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:13,000
Speaker 1: brother the victim the woman cop who she shot in

1646
01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:15,880
Speaker 1: his own home when she entered the wrong apartment. Although

1647
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:18,280
Speaker 1: this person gave her the forgiveness she maybe or maybe

1648
01:41:18,320 --> 01:41:21,559
Speaker 1: not have deserved. My point is, when it comes to forgiveness,

1649
01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:24,000
Speaker 1: we all need to look at Reginald Denny. There was

1650
01:41:24,040 --> 01:41:26,840
Speaker 1: no greater forgiveness than his. I really think we should

1651
01:41:26,840 --> 01:41:29,400
Speaker 1: honor him as a great human being. You have a

1652
01:41:29,400 --> 01:41:32,000
Speaker 1: good audience, but I fear your listeners don't know the

1653
01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:34,479
Speaker 1: story of Reginald Denny. Please gave them the story. His

1654
01:41:34,640 --> 01:41:40,280
Speaker 1: is truly of forgiveness. Albert In Austin, Albert. If memory serves,

1655
01:41:40,840 --> 01:41:45,400
Speaker 1: Reginald Denny was a truck driver who during the LA

1656
01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:48,800
Speaker 1: riots after the Rodney King verdict, was pulled out of

1657
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:53,599
Speaker 1: his vehicle and viciously assaulted. I think he had brain

1658
01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:57,400
Speaker 1: damage from it. And he came out and he later

1659
01:41:57,479 --> 01:42:00,320
Speaker 1: said Mark was he can't didn't he say, can't we

1660
01:42:00,320 --> 01:42:04,280
Speaker 1: all get along? I believe Oh yeah, Mark. Sorry, Mark

1661
01:42:04,400 --> 01:42:08,040
Speaker 1: is legitimately too young to remember that. But yeah, Reginald

1662
01:42:08,120 --> 01:42:11,840
Speaker 1: Denny did forgive his attackers, and I'll have to look

1663
01:42:11,840 --> 01:42:16,040

1665
01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:21,439
Speaker 1: on this one, but I want to weigh in the

1666
01:42:21,479 --> 01:42:24,640
Speaker 1: question of whether to take callers on your show. I

1667
01:42:24,680 --> 01:42:27,320
Speaker 1: have loved your show since the early Saturdays. I download

1668
01:42:27,320 --> 01:42:29,960
Speaker 1: your podcast every day because, like you, hear inside an analysis.

1669
01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:34,280
Speaker 1: I also appreciate the quality of your informed and intelligent guests. However,

1670
01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:38,400
Speaker 1: I do not want to listen to people mumble nonsense

1671
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:41,400
Speaker 1: about how the income tax is unconstitutional or how you

1672
01:42:41,439 --> 01:42:43,000
Speaker 1: may or may not remember me but I met you

1673
01:42:43,040 --> 01:42:46,000
Speaker 1: that one time on the street outside of a restaurant somewhere. Buck.

1674
01:42:46,080 --> 01:42:51,799
Speaker 1: Please do not take callers on your show. Sincerely, longtime listener,

1675
01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:54,640
Speaker 1: first time caller Ben See Mark. I always say this.

1676
01:42:54,680 --> 01:42:58,040
Speaker 1: The non caller crowd is very they're very vocal about this.

1677
01:42:58,080 --> 01:43:01,080
Speaker 1: They do not The anti callers are like, don't you

1678
01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:04,400
Speaker 1: dare take callers on the show. I agree with him, Yeah,

1679
01:43:04,439 --> 01:43:06,880
Speaker 1: I like the role call. Everyone likes the role call.

1680
01:43:07,160 --> 01:43:09,120
Speaker 1: We get to it. Man, your voice will be heard

1681
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:11,400
Speaker 1: here on the show. Unless you're crazy, then we just

1682
01:43:11,439 --> 01:43:13,519
Speaker 1: won't read it. Yeah, that's true. Then sometimes you do

1683
01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:15,479
Speaker 1: have to skip. We do get the crazy people are always.

1684
01:43:16,600 --> 01:43:19,120
Speaker 1: It's amazing to me how some folks are just so nuts,

1685
01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:22,920
Speaker 1: Tim Buck, I'm curious, how is that guy who has

1686
01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:25,760
Speaker 1: now signed on the Green New Deal crowd, or rather,

1687
01:43:25,880 --> 01:43:28,200

Speaker 1: job as the director of a fossil fuel natural gas company.

1691
01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm shocked that a fellow Democrats haven't gone after Joe

1692
01:43:40,840 --> 01:43:43,920
Speaker 1: over this hypocrisy. Yeah right, Maybe they think Hunter Biden,

1697
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:01,000
