WEBVTT - The Left's War On The First Amendment 

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>You are entering the Freedom Hunt. CNN holds a town

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:18.000
<v Speaker 1>hall where the left wing tells us what they really

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>want for this country. Also updates on the whistleblower, turns

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:26.079
<v Speaker 1>out some connections to Democrat politicians, including one who is

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 1>running the Turkish incursion into Syria and also the NBA's

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>dishonorable China tobacco. We got that and more coming up

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:37.840
<v Speaker 1>on The buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show,

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>where the mission or mission is to decode what really

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:47.639
<v Speaker 1>matters with actionable intelligence. Mag no mistake American, bring You're

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 1>a great American again? The buck Sexton Show begins. Analyst,

<v Speaker 1>He's a great guy. Now, Welcome to the buck Sexton Show.

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Everybody back here in the Freedom huod in NYC from

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>my trip in Vegas. Big thanks to Stansborough Research. Great

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 1>week out there, lots of phenomenal guests. Dennis Miller, Tommy Lara,

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Nick Irving, the Reaper, Noril Rubimi from NYU Doctor Doom.

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>We had a really, really fun time out there. But

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 1>let's get to business, folks, I have missed you. Two

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>days away from the show feels like far too long.

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, we are going to be bring

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>you a live show here from New York City on Monday,

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.319
<v Speaker 1>even though it is do we call it? Do we

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>have to officially call it Indigenous People's Day yet? Or

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>is it? Can we still say Columbus Day? Is that

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>a microaggression? Maybe it's a macroaggression. But my, oh my,

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.040
<v Speaker 1>we have so much to get you today. I don't

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:46.479
<v Speaker 1>even know if we will fit it in. I haven't

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>said that in a while because I've been drilling down

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>deep into certain topics, and but today there's just so

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>many different things. I didn't even mention at the top

0:01:56.040 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>of the show we have Chelsea Clinton possibly running for Congress.

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Up we do that was coming telling men to lean out.

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>This is the new radical left feminism on display in

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 1>a New York Times editorial, and just one of the

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>most incredible moments yet with the Messieur Justin Trudeau, who

0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.119
<v Speaker 1>he's trying to be still so woke and so left wing,

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 1>but he's very hard because of the horrific debuckles of

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.920
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of weeks. Anyway, but let's let's get

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>into the important stuff here for a moment. The President,

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>so I just gave you a little sense of what's

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>coming up later on there President Trump is under siege

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>and has been for the entirety of his presidency. There

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>was never a honeymoon period. There was not a moment

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>of introspection from the institutional left, the political establishment, the

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party. They all right away decided that this was

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>not just an aberrant moment, that this was an outlier,

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>a black swan situation, that President Trump had been able

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 1>to defeat Hillary Clinton with all of the backing that

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.079
<v Speaker 1>she had from the media, the establishment, all those forces

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I just brought up, including some never Trump Republicans and

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 1>former Republicans now who make me question whether they ever

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>really believed any of the things that they had espoused

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>over the course of their adult lives. But there was

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.959
<v Speaker 1>not a moment of let's see how the president does

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and judge him based on that. It has been from

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>the start. Trump is illegitimate. The left will not accept him.

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>They will not move past this. They have dug in.

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 1>They are the resistance, as they call themselves, and that

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>means that the president has his handsful. Not only is

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>he trying to govern, not only is he trying to

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>be the commander in chief of United States Armed Forces

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and the single most powerful figure in the executive branch

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 1>of our already far too large and far too expensive

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 1>federal government. He has to deal with forces arrayed against him.

0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>That simply put previous presidents who where Democrats, don't have

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>to deal with at all, and even who are Republicans,

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen in such a ferocious way. This is enough.

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>This is a whole other level, folks. I mean, people

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>are willing to violate their oaths of office, willing to

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 1>break the law, criminal leaks, commit felonies, whatever they have

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>to do to try and stop Trump. And you think

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:23.320
<v Speaker 1>that in that environment, it's going to be very hard

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>for the president to make his case for reelection. Right there,

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.480
<v Speaker 1>they're doing everything they can so that he won't be

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>judged based on what he has done as president. The

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>plan that the left has with Pelosi leading this impeachment inquiry,

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:42.159
<v Speaker 1>not not even a true impeachment process yet, just kind

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>of sticking their foot in the pool with that will

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 1>being willing to jump in all the way. But as

0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>that marches along, you might think, hold on a moment,

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 1>this is going to spell trouble for a president Trump.

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 1>How could he possibly overcome this? You have the weaponization

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>of the bureaucracy against him, Have the entirety of the

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>establishment media trying to destroy him, actively working toward the

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>destruction of his presidency. Ah, what comes into play all

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden? What is the X factor here that

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.679
<v Speaker 1>the left does not think about? Or rather the left

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.479
<v Speaker 1>can't really take into account because I suppose there's not

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:27.160
<v Speaker 1>much that they'll be able to do about it. How

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:28.919
<v Speaker 1>is it that I'm so confident on the president Trump

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>is likely to win? Oh? That's right. The left is crazy,

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 1>absolutely bonkers. They believe things that no sane person could believe.

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>They say things that no rational person could say, and

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.720
<v Speaker 1>this has now become orthodoxy on the left. If you

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>deviate from this, even as a Democrat, you do so

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 1>at your peril. So, just when it feels like with

0:05:55.600 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 1>all this Ukraine gait and impeachment inquiry and subpoenaing Trump's

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 1>tax returns, all these things that are right against the president,

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:10.480
<v Speaker 1>how could he overcome? Is even Trump is not invincible? Right? Ah?

0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.839
<v Speaker 1>Like the cavalry coming over the hill, the left wing

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>democrats show up and, courtesy of a platform given to

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:23.479
<v Speaker 1>them on CNN, show everybody just how absolutely nuts the

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>left has gone on issues of religious freedom, on issues

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>of rule of law, on transgender rights as they call it.

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:41.279
<v Speaker 1>There's just so much here that any normal person would

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>listen to and say, hold on a minute, what has

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.479
<v Speaker 1>what has gone wrong? How could this be one of

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>the two major political parties in the most powerful, wealthy

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>country in the history of the planet. There were some

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 1>real moments last night at this CNN the CNN town Hall.

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 1>There was a lot of dishonesty, a lot of disingenuousness.

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Will work through some of the parts of this, but

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I would tell you that Beto O'Rourke has become the

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Democrat candidate who says what the left believes deep down

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 1>but is unwilling to say aloud. And increasingly I think

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 1>that even though it won't mean that, buttu becomes a

0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 1>viable presidential candidate in order to not get left out

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 1>of the wokeness. More candidates on the left are now

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>saying the things that many of us on the right

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 1>believe that they want to do, but they're unwilling to

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 1>say it because it would frighten most Americans, it would

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 1>shock a lot of people. The single most troubling moment

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 1>last night, well, actually, I'm not even sure we could

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 1>pick just one necessarily there there were so many, but

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>there were nine presidential candidates there. Do you think religious

0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 1>institutions like colleges, churches, charities, should they lose their tax

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>exempt status if they oppose same sex marriage. Yes. Betto

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 1>doesn't believe in the First Amendment at all, doesn't believe

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 1>in freedom of expression, doesn't believe in Sorry, I'm a

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>little raspi after Vegas folks, doesn't believe in freedom of religion.

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 1>And many of us were saying this right after the

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Obergfell decision the Supreme Court that just wait the left

0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.679
<v Speaker 1>that they don't just want marriage equality, They're going to

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 1>want people to in the religious establishment across the board.

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna want them to bend. They what will be

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.319
<v Speaker 1>fascinating and it would be a fascinating Now, even if

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.720
<v Speaker 1>we had a real media that asked questions, not acted

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>as propagandist for the left, would Bettos say that about

0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>a mosque? Really, Betto's to tell mosques across the country

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:06.679
<v Speaker 1>that they cannot oppose rather that they do not have

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the right to support traditional marriage and oppose same sex marriage.

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, only Christian churches. I think Betto willing to

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.719
<v Speaker 1>say that to. Why is that? Why does Petto? Why

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:22.079
<v Speaker 1>would he be allowed to get away with the bigotry

0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 1>of different expectations there? Oh, we all know why. That

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:29.679
<v Speaker 1>is because they view this as political warfare, and they

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:34.080
<v Speaker 1>view churches that still support traditional marriage as a major

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 1>bulwark against the left's full on authoritarian stadism. Whether you

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>support same sex marriage or not is irrelevant to the

0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>fact that Betto O'Rourke in this case is saying churches

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 1>are going to do what the state tells them to do.

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.679
<v Speaker 1>They're going to support what the state tells them to support. This.

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Even a few years ago, people like me were saying

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:57.319
<v Speaker 1>would happen, and the left claimed that that was fearmongering.

0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Now you have a presidential candidate for the Demo, aocratic party,

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 1>in front of the whole country, who's saying exactly what

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 1>we were saying. What we were saying, what happened during

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the Obama administration. It was just a matter of time.

0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:15.320
<v Speaker 1>And that's really what was on display last night at

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 1>the CNN town hall. That's what's on display has been

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 1>on display for the entirety of this Democrat primary. Democratic

0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Party has lost its mind. Things that are common sense,

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.839
<v Speaker 1>things that we all understand to be true, They all

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden reject They have different priorities, they have

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 1>a different lens through which they see all these things.

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 1>And then there's also just their inability at CNN to

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 1>we even understand what the new rules are. Because the

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:46.080
<v Speaker 1>rules are changing so quickly, they try to be woke,

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 1>but sometimes they end up just looking clownish. How are

0:10:51.080 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 1>you and my pronouns? Are she? Her and hers? Mine too?

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.560
<v Speaker 1>All right? Hey, bro Cuomo wanted to make a joke.

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Dare you hear it? Hey? Bro Cuomo's on a national platform.

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 1>You know he just finished taking some creety. He's working out,

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's looking good. He's like, hey, I'm gonna

0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:20.840
<v Speaker 1>make a pronoun joke. Who bro Cuomo? Your brother? The

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:22.520
<v Speaker 1>government New York could come in and just tell you

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>nobody makes pronoun jokes in America today. If you make

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 1>a joke about a pronoun, they will destroy you, far

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 1>you from your job, tar and feather you, and then

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 1>put more feathers on top of the tar in case

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>there were insufficient feathers. Bro Cuomo had to apologize as

0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.720
<v Speaker 1>a result, maybe we should start calling him Fredo, But

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>he had to apologize after that, because you're not allowed

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 1>to make any jokes about any of this. That was,

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>in fact the third rail that Dave Chappelle was willing

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.840
<v Speaker 1>to touch in his most recent and quite spectacular comedy special.

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>He just talked about and didn't do it in a

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.680
<v Speaker 1>degrading or a nasty way. He made some jokes dealing

0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 1>with the LGBTQ community. There are no jokes if you're

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.319
<v Speaker 1>outside the community that the left will allow you to make.

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 1>They think that they can shut down any discussion, any

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>commentary that isn't full of reverence and the desire to

0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.439
<v Speaker 1>obey whatever the dictates of leftist orthodox he may be.

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 1>There were things that were said last night at CNN

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:38.000
<v Speaker 1>that were hard to believe. There were moments like when

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 1>a biological male took the microphone from a biological female.

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Actually know, we can just say male and female, and

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I guess we'll say trans female to signify when someone

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:56.320
<v Speaker 1>is at biological male who now whole has the identity

0:12:56.320 --> 0:13:02.800
<v Speaker 1>of a trans woman. But a trans woman took the

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 1>microphone away and said the following without I would not

0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:13.959
<v Speaker 1>without any challenge from CNN anchors is multi millionaire glorified

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 1>actors on CNN their actors without acting talent. Really, this

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:23.319
<v Speaker 1>is what that went like, Play twenty nine. Next to

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the Secretary Castro, I want to bring in Shade Diamond,

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:30.480
<v Speaker 1>a singer songwriter from Los Angeles. She currently supports Mayor

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Pete bog Shaye. What's your question, Um, it's she a diamond, Diamond,

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:40.959
<v Speaker 1>put that on record, Okay, thank you, Yes, honey. It's

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 1>violence to miss gender or to alter a name of

0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.240
<v Speaker 1>a trans person, So let's always get that right first.

0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.520
<v Speaker 1>It is violence. That was what we said that it

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.640
<v Speaker 1>is violence to use the wrong name for a transgender person. No,

0:13:55.840 --> 0:14:01.360
<v Speaker 1>violence is violence. Right. You can say you don't like

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>it if someone calls you the wrong name. You can't

0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.680
<v Speaker 1>say it's the same as punching you. You can't say

0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 1>it's the same as physically harming you. Violence is violence.

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:15.199
<v Speaker 1>And if we allow leftist ideology to corrupt these very

0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:19.840
<v Speaker 1>basic concepts, then they can say anything is anything. Then

0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:25.240
<v Speaker 1>they've completely perverted logic, facts, reason, and the exchange of ideas.

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:29.840
<v Speaker 1>But no one challenges it is violence. But words equals

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.200
<v Speaker 1>violence is one of the favorite tactics of the authoritarian left,

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 1>because if words equals violence, two things happen. One, they

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>can regulate whatever words they want, however they want. And two,

0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 1>if in fact they choose to use violence in response

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:47.840
<v Speaker 1>to words, they're just defending themselves. They're just responding in kind.

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 1>So this is a deeply dishonest trick, but one that

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the left polls on a regular basis and embraces. It's

0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>true on college campuses across the country. Speech equals violence

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:04.720
<v Speaker 1>is one of the great one of the fundamental fallacies

0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 1>of the American left today. Now I switched up by

0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 1>clips for a second here. I mentioned the grabbing of

0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 1>the microphone, that that was the speech egles violence. That

0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>was one thing, and then you add something that was

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 1>much more, much more physically aggressive than just saying that

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>speech speech equals violence. That's that's concerning enough. But a

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 1>a then a black trans a black trans woman exploded

0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 1>at this event with with anger and indignation that CNN

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 1>had put on here, and there was this moment was

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>it was it was wow, it just just play play

0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:45.760
<v Speaker 1>clip thirty. But let me tell you something. Black trans

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 1>women are being killed in this country, and CNN, you

0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:52.000
<v Speaker 1>ever raised black trans women for the last time. Let

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 1>me tell you something, black trans women. I died our

0:15:55.640 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 1>lives matter. I'm a extraordinary black trans woman, and I

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 1>deserved to keep here my black tress. Look at her hair.

0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I am tired. I am full tired. I'm just saying

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 1>that's my black trans woman. My black tress. Brothers too.

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Say what I'm gonna say. I don't know. No, I

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 1>let you come here. No, No, I just want to

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.320
<v Speaker 1>ask you something. Come here, tell me, come here. I

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.880
<v Speaker 1>want you to talk. What's your name? I'm Blossom, see

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Brian Blossom. Let me ask Blossom, Blossom, thank you. Let

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 1>me tell you something. Let me let me. No, don't

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.080
<v Speaker 1>come on the stage. Don't come in and say so ken.

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 1>May I have the mic? Man, I have the mic, Blossom,

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.480
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you something. The reason that we're here

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:39.320
<v Speaker 1>is to validate people like you. Ah, yes, you see.

0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.040
<v Speaker 1>CNN wants to be very clear, the whole purpose of

0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:46.400
<v Speaker 1>this is to tell people who are on you would think,

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 1>the extreme left of the ideological spectrum, whether it's on

0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:56.960
<v Speaker 1>transgender issues or on religious freedom or transgender children, which

0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:00.000
<v Speaker 1>also came up last night. There were two at least

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 1>east transgender kids who were there. I think one of

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.920
<v Speaker 1>them was nine years old. Always left wing parents, by

0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the way for the transgender kids. Isn't that a coincidence?

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:14.040
<v Speaker 1>You never have two parents who are you know, conservative

0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:18.200
<v Speaker 1>churchgoing Republicans who have a transgender kid. So it's always

0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:22.760
<v Speaker 1>people who are you know, anti fur activists who don't

0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.560
<v Speaker 1>want their children being misgendered. I guess we're just supposed

0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:30.400
<v Speaker 1>to think that's a coincidence. But there was so much,

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.679
<v Speaker 1>so much that we need to go through here, so

0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.280
<v Speaker 1>much that requires discussion. I mean, CNN is an embarrassment

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.320
<v Speaker 1>start with that. So CNN is accused at its own

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 1>town hall of being a of erasing I believe black

0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 1>trans women was the quote, and nullifying them. They're they're

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:57.719
<v Speaker 1>holding a nationally televised special specifically for the LGBTQ community

0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.920
<v Speaker 1>and are and people in the audience, or at least

0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.199
<v Speaker 1>one person in the audience is very upset at what

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.320
<v Speaker 1>CNN is doing because they're not giving enough attention to

0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the black transgender woman cause. And I would just say,

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I've heard this before, I've seen stories. You know, this

0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:22.720
<v Speaker 1>is all part of the the patting them patting, the mentality,

0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:27.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, adding to the mentality of victimology that the

0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.879
<v Speaker 1>Left is so dependent on. So what they do is

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:35.400
<v Speaker 1>they say that black trans women are are being killed

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and that this is a You are led to believe

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.920
<v Speaker 1>that this is an epidemic, that this is happening at

0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 1>rates that are are shocking to the conscience. Uh, this

0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 1>is and no one's paying attention to the the murder

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 1>of um of not just by the way, not just

0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:57.760
<v Speaker 1>like anyone who is transgender, not of any of any ethnicity. Well,

0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:02.320
<v Speaker 1>if you look at the numbers, you have roughly fifteen

0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:08.119
<v Speaker 1>thousand or so homicides in America every year. So about

0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.640
<v Speaker 1>fifteen thousand people are killed in this country every year.

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:18.120
<v Speaker 1>And of that fifteen thousand you had about to give

0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:21.840
<v Speaker 1>or to I mean, depending on the year, twenty or so.

0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Last few years, transgender people have been killed in this country.

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:30.680
<v Speaker 1>So there are three hundred and twenty million people in America,

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 1>fifteen thousand of them are killed in any given year.

0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:39.639
<v Speaker 1>Of that fifteen thousand, about twenty are transgender. And it

0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 1>has somehow become a national media narrative that transgender individuals

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:48.240
<v Speaker 1>are being murdered and being targeted for being transgender. Now,

0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:51.240
<v Speaker 1>if you also add into the circumstances that we're talking

0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:55.560
<v Speaker 1>about here, how many of the transgender individuals were employed

0:19:55.760 --> 0:20:04.480
<v Speaker 1>in or engaged in very high risk professional transactions at

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the time of their of their death. You would see

0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 1>that there is no statistical significance through this claim whatsoever

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:16.639
<v Speaker 1>that transgender individuals are being targeted. But if you say that,

0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:19.840
<v Speaker 1>that's an offense against wokeness, because the narrative is that

0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:23.959
<v Speaker 1>transgender individuals are being targeted and murdered. Now, no individual

0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 1>should be targeted and murdered in this country. Murder is

0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the most heinous of crimes. And every transgender person in

0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:36.800
<v Speaker 1>this country, regardless of of anything, deserves all the legal

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 1>protections of their personhood, of their physical safety that anyone

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.440
<v Speaker 1>else does. And anyone who harms anybody who is transgender

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.480
<v Speaker 1>should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,

0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:51.320
<v Speaker 1>and that will include hate crime statutes. That all said,

0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:54.000
<v Speaker 1>can we just operate in the in the realm of facts.

0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:57.200
<v Speaker 1>We can we have discussions about what's what's really happening.

0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Where's the CNN opioids town hall. I'm just I'm just wondering,

0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:06.320
<v Speaker 1>not that you can't have or shouldn't have an LGBTQ

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:10.359
<v Speaker 1>town hall, but we've had LGBTQ, we've had climate change.

0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:13.639
<v Speaker 1>You get if we're going to talk about body count,

0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 1>seventy thousand people a year are dying from what is

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:19.520
<v Speaker 1>a true epidemic? And yet why is it just not

0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:23.080
<v Speaker 1>an issue that gets the same kind of attention from

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Democrats The most urgent public health crisis in the country

0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:32.320
<v Speaker 1>after probably obesity, But people are dying by the thousands.

0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:35.800
<v Speaker 1>You don't hear much about it. Do you surely don't

0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:39.680
<v Speaker 1>have a town hall on fixing it? Conservatives? The right

0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:43.879
<v Speaker 1>Republicans find the opioid crisis to be of much higher,

0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:47.680
<v Speaker 1>much higher urgency. All right, but back to this town,

0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:51.160
<v Speaker 1>because it was there were just some wow moments here.

0:21:51.880 --> 0:22:01.400
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned before the transgender the young transgender kids who

0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:08.120
<v Speaker 1>were there. And here's Democrat presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren who

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:13.199
<v Speaker 1>is talking about tax dollars going to prison inmates for

0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:17.200
<v Speaker 1>transgender surgery. Play twenty six in the twenty twelve campaign

0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:21.320
<v Speaker 1>for Senate, you criticize the judge's ruling that granted transition

0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:24.000
<v Speaker 1>related surgery to a transgender inmate. You said, I don't

0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 1>think it's a good use of taxpayer dollars. Right, Do

0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:31.399
<v Speaker 1>you regret that? Ye? No, it's a bad answer, And

0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:34.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it was a bad answer. And I believe

0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:41.720
<v Speaker 1>that everyone is entitled to medical care and medical care

0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:46.840
<v Speaker 1>that they need, and that includes people who are transgender

0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:50.200
<v Speaker 1>who it is the time for them to have gender

0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:53.879
<v Speaker 1>affirming surgery. I just think that's important and the appropriate

0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:58.399
<v Speaker 1>medical care. Look at all the changes that are made

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:01.920
<v Speaker 1>to the left. It happened so fast that it's hard

0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:05.760
<v Speaker 1>to even keep up with it. Elizarth warreds Now, it's

0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:08.480
<v Speaker 1>a bad answer. Did she learn something new or what happened?

0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, the left just changed, became more extreme. The

0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 1>demands of wokeness grew. That's all that happened. The progressive

0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 1>orthodoxy has shifted into a realm where if you question

0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:23.440
<v Speaker 1>anything about transgender surgery, if you point out, for example,

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:29.920
<v Speaker 1>that transgender surgeries are they involved the mutilation of healthy tissue,

0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and there is no such thing as a transgender surgery

0:23:35.160 --> 0:23:39.160
<v Speaker 1>that results in an actual switch of gender when someone

0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 1>does not have the biological parts of another gender. Now,

0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 1>for people who are going to bring up intersects, which

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:49.200
<v Speaker 1>is also formally called to be when someone is a hermaphrodite,

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:52.520
<v Speaker 1>that's not what transgenderism is, folks. That's not what they're

0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:56.560
<v Speaker 1>talking about. They're talking about these specifically emotional and psychological

0:23:56.640 --> 0:24:02.240
<v Speaker 1>need for a switch of gender that is physiologically impossible

0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:09.679
<v Speaker 1>and not physiologically based and involved surgery that has tremendous complications,

0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:13.720
<v Speaker 1>long term challenges that come with it, and the long

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:18.480
<v Speaker 1>term happiness rates after these surgeries, not just of the

0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:22.879
<v Speaker 1>individuals in terms of their general life satisfaction, but transgender

0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:25.639
<v Speaker 1>individuals who feel that they should never had had the

0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:29.680
<v Speaker 1>surgery is very high. If you bring this up, you're

0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:32.200
<v Speaker 1>a bad person. If you look at the facts, You're

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:35.800
<v Speaker 1>not somebody that's allowed to have an opinion, go along

0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:39.119
<v Speaker 1>with this or else you're either part of the wokeness

0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:46.400
<v Speaker 1>leftist revolution or you are to be destroyed, pushed aside, ruined.

0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:49.040
<v Speaker 1>That's it. Those are the new rules we're dealing with.

0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:51.400
<v Speaker 1>It's not just Trump who deals with us, it's all

0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:59.640
<v Speaker 1>of us. Now, I mentioned the transgender children issue. Here

0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:04.359
<v Speaker 1>we have where was this? We had a transgender nine

0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:07.960
<v Speaker 1>year old I believe at the event. Play a play

0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:12.520
<v Speaker 1>clip twenty twenty four and let's bring in Jacob Lama.

0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:15.960
<v Speaker 1>He's here with his sister Ella and Lucia and his

0:25:16.080 --> 0:25:19.240
<v Speaker 1>mom Mimmi, who is an advocate for transgender youth and

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:22.639
<v Speaker 1>active with the Human Rights Campaign. Jacob is an elementary

0:25:22.640 --> 0:25:26.320
<v Speaker 1>school student from Massachusetts likes to play hockey. Jacob all right,

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:30.119
<v Speaker 1>Jacob all right. Um, my name is Jacob and I

0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:33.560
<v Speaker 1>am a nine year old transgender American. My question is,

0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:42.680
<v Speaker 1>all right, hold on, what were you doing your first

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:44.960
<v Speaker 1>week as president to make sure that kids like me

0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:47.879
<v Speaker 1>feel safer in schools? And what do you think schools

0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:49.560
<v Speaker 1>need to do better to make sure that I don't

0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:52.439
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about anything but my homework. Oh, I

0:25:52.600 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 1>like that question, Jacob. We're gonna do this, So let

0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:06.760
<v Speaker 1>me start by saying I want to have a Secretary

0:26:06.960 --> 0:26:13.720
<v Speaker 1>of Education who both believes in public education and believes

0:26:13.880 --> 0:26:17.560
<v Speaker 1>in the value of every one of our kids, and

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:22.840
<v Speaker 1>is willing to enforce our civil rights laws. Now, there's

0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:25.639
<v Speaker 1>nothing in that answer that's worth hearing from Elizabeth Warren.

0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:28.359
<v Speaker 1>And this is where you always have to be careful,

0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:33.600
<v Speaker 1>because criticizing kids is wrong. I don't criticize kids. I

0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:40.200
<v Speaker 1>criticize adults who are exploiting children. I criticize the left

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:45.760
<v Speaker 1>desire to put children forward as advocates, as actives for

0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:49.880
<v Speaker 1>a cause. And then when people disagree with the message

0:26:49.960 --> 0:26:52.080
<v Speaker 1>or say I'm not going to go along with this.

0:26:52.440 --> 0:26:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I do not take orders politically or otherwise from children.

0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:01.239
<v Speaker 1>Then they start saying, you're a child passer? How dare you?

0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:05.440
<v Speaker 1>How dare you? The adults who do this are morons

0:27:05.640 --> 0:27:08.960
<v Speaker 1>and they should be ashamed of themselves. But in this

0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:13.240
<v Speaker 1>specifics here, in the specifics of this case of the

0:27:13.520 --> 0:27:18.080
<v Speaker 1>this nine year old who says that he or she

0:27:18.320 --> 0:27:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I actually I'm being serious, I don't know what the

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:25.119
<v Speaker 1>chosen pronoun was in the situation this nine year old

0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:28.639
<v Speaker 1>says claims to be they claim to be a Transamerican. There,

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 1>that's now the safe way of saying it. And I

0:27:30.880 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 1>wonder how long before I have to say that, And

0:27:33.840 --> 0:27:36.840
<v Speaker 1>then if I don't say these things, I'll get in trouble.

0:27:37.960 --> 0:27:40.359
<v Speaker 1>At what point is this required the same way that

0:27:40.400 --> 0:27:44.879
<v Speaker 1>I can't yell curses over the radio without endangering my

0:27:45.000 --> 0:27:50.399
<v Speaker 1>job and perhaps being suffering economic consequences being boycott. Do

0:27:50.440 --> 0:27:52.399
<v Speaker 1>I have to use that the chosen words of the

0:27:52.440 --> 0:27:55.680
<v Speaker 1>transgender or the chosen pronouns, et cetera the transgender community,

0:27:56.320 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 1>or face professional sanction. I think the answer is we're

0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:02.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty much right on the edge. I'm not quite sure,

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 1>and I don't plan to charge the machine gun nest alone,

0:28:06.400 --> 0:28:09.159
<v Speaker 1>so to speak on this one. Friends, So we'll have

0:28:09.240 --> 0:28:14.480
<v Speaker 1>to see. But I would want to know this. This

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:19.720
<v Speaker 1>is a parent transgender individual who is nine years old.

0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:22.600
<v Speaker 1>And when I was nine, the most and I mean this,

0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the most exciting thing that I can remember was I

0:28:25.040 --> 0:28:27.200
<v Speaker 1>think that I got to wear a dinosaur costume that

0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:30.960
<v Speaker 1>year for Halloween. Children or children, it's a wonderful time.

0:28:31.160 --> 0:28:34.200
<v Speaker 1>It's great. They're growing, they're learning. They should be taken

0:28:34.240 --> 0:28:38.120
<v Speaker 1>care of, and they should not be subject to adults

0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:42.360
<v Speaker 1>using the most political pawns and perhaps even worse in

0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:45.000
<v Speaker 1>this case. What I would want to know is the

0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:49.080
<v Speaker 1>parents of this child are transactivists involved in the human

0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:53.560
<v Speaker 1>rights campaign? Were they transactivists before their nine year old

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:59.480
<v Speaker 1>decided that a transgender life was what he or she

0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 1>again chosen pronoun? I don't know, want it. I'm just wondering,

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and if so, are we to believe that that's a coincidence,

0:29:10.720 --> 0:29:13.960
<v Speaker 1>because here's what I'm willing to bet. I'm willing to

0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:17.280
<v Speaker 1>bet that the parents here were far left wing activists,

0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:21.240
<v Speaker 1>transgender activists, probably before they even have this nine year old.

0:29:22.160 --> 0:29:24.520
<v Speaker 1>And then that raises the question of is it a

0:29:24.600 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 1>form of child abuse to inflict the ideology of the

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:32.880
<v Speaker 1>left on a kid such that that nine year old

0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:38.920
<v Speaker 1>now will perhaps want to take hormones and go through

0:29:39.240 --> 0:29:42.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, at a prepubescent stage. That's what's happening on

0:29:42.680 --> 0:29:46.040
<v Speaker 1>the left is advocating for this stuff. And this is

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:48.120
<v Speaker 1>where they'll say, oh, but the science or the scientists,

0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:51.479
<v Speaker 1>any doctor and doctors now are all afraid. They're all

0:29:51.560 --> 0:29:53.240
<v Speaker 1>running scared on this. They don't know what to do.

0:29:53.880 --> 0:29:56.440
<v Speaker 1>The doctors who actually know anything about transgender surgery, they

0:29:56.520 --> 0:29:59.000
<v Speaker 1>run and hide now. And so you have these activist

0:29:59.000 --> 0:30:00.840
<v Speaker 1>doctors who come forward we were saying, oh, well, of course,

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:02.480
<v Speaker 1>because they want to look like heroes and they want

0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 1>their practices to flourish. The ones who are basing this

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:08.560
<v Speaker 1>in medicine and medical outcomes, they just don't want to

0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:12.000
<v Speaker 1>deal with the politics anymore. But any doctor who comes

0:30:12.040 --> 0:30:14.440
<v Speaker 1>forward and tells you that they know what the long

0:30:14.520 --> 0:30:19.760
<v Speaker 1>term consequences of ender, any gender reassignment activity, including just

0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:23.400
<v Speaker 1>hormonal therapy for a young child, would be is lying.

0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:25.360
<v Speaker 1>They don't know. You know how I know they don't

0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:28.200
<v Speaker 1>know because it's never been done before. We are an

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:32.760
<v Speaker 1>uncharted territory now, and people like me, who are saying five, six,

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 1>seven years ago, this is where it's going. This is

0:30:35.000 --> 0:30:38.440
<v Speaker 1>where it's going. Transgender kids. We were told that was fearmongering.

0:30:39.400 --> 0:30:44.160
<v Speaker 1>What was fearmongering according to the left about the left

0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:48.520
<v Speaker 1>during the Obama administration is now mainstream policy in the Democrats.

0:30:49.800 --> 0:30:51.440
<v Speaker 1>And it just happened in the blink of an eye,

0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:54.800
<v Speaker 1>and we're supposed to forget that. We all saw this coming. Yeah,

0:30:54.880 --> 0:30:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I mock Beto O'Rourke, but the truth is Betto O'Rourke

0:30:57.440 --> 0:31:00.760
<v Speaker 1>has made a very clear decision that he because he

0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 1>has there's no reason to vote for the sky. There's

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:05.400
<v Speaker 1>nothing compelling about him. His position is just to be

0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:12.600
<v Speaker 1>the distilled it the true psychological core of the democratic left,

0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:15.960
<v Speaker 1>of the socialist left in America. That's what he's doing.

0:31:16.040 --> 0:31:19.280
<v Speaker 1>That's where he's going. And you're seeing this now, and

0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Elizabeth Warren and all these other candidates, Oh, they're saying

0:31:22.600 --> 0:31:24.880
<v Speaker 1>whatever they have to say in order to stay on

0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:31.840
<v Speaker 1>the correct, on the acceptable side of wokeness. And not

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:34.600
<v Speaker 1>even the Democrat media knows necessarily how to play this

0:31:34.640 --> 0:31:36.800
<v Speaker 1>out of me. You know, pro Cuomo made a fool

0:31:36.840 --> 0:31:40.520
<v Speaker 1>of himself. But my friends, this is this is heading

0:31:40.560 --> 0:31:44.200
<v Speaker 1>straight into madness, and there will be real consequences. People

0:31:44.200 --> 0:31:49.000
<v Speaker 1>will suffer as a result of these decisions. Children will suffer.

0:31:50.200 --> 0:31:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Transgender nine year old I don't even remember having a

0:31:58.040 --> 0:32:03.440
<v Speaker 1>defined sexuality or gender or thoughts about gender identity at

0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:07.040
<v Speaker 1>age eight age nine. This could only come from parents.

0:32:07.360 --> 0:32:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Parents who are so ideologically driven that they would inflict

0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:19.520
<v Speaker 1>their own self satisfied virtue signaling political beliefs on little kids,

0:32:19.760 --> 0:32:23.920
<v Speaker 1>their own kids, troublesome stuff. I attended an all girls

0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Catholic high school in Bergen County, New Jersey, where during

0:32:26.960 --> 0:32:30.840
<v Speaker 1>my years there proposals for an LGBTQ plus club or

0:32:30.920 --> 0:32:34.960
<v Speaker 1>gay straight alliance routinely rejected, despite the school's messaging of

0:32:35.040 --> 0:32:38.360
<v Speaker 1>acceptance and love. A few towns away, at another Catholic

0:32:38.440 --> 0:32:41.240
<v Speaker 1>high school, a female teacher was fired for being married

0:32:41.240 --> 0:32:44.120
<v Speaker 1>to a woman. How about you address the at times

0:32:44.280 --> 0:32:50.000
<v Speaker 1>juxtaposing issues of religious freedom and LGBTQ rights. It's a

0:32:50.040 --> 0:32:53.600
<v Speaker 1>great question, and thank you very much. Look, this is

0:32:53.640 --> 0:32:55.440
<v Speaker 1>something that I've been dealing with all my life as

0:32:55.440 --> 0:32:58.760
<v Speaker 1>a Christian. People who want to use religion as a

0:32:58.800 --> 0:33:03.160
<v Speaker 1>justification for discination and often are creating environments are so

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:06.440
<v Speaker 1>contrary to my religious beliefs. As it said in Michael,

0:33:06.520 --> 0:33:08.680
<v Speaker 1>what do you want from your Lord? What does what

0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:11.040
<v Speaker 1>you want from your people? Which is to do justice,

0:33:12.200 --> 0:33:17.480
<v Speaker 1>love kindness, and walk humbly, walk humbly. And so for me,

0:33:17.840 --> 0:33:20.840
<v Speaker 1>I cannot allow as a leader that people are going

0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:25.400
<v Speaker 1>to use a religion as a justification for discrimination. I

0:33:25.400 --> 0:33:29.480
<v Speaker 1>could respect your religious freedoms but also protect people from discrimination.

0:33:29.480 --> 0:33:31.560
<v Speaker 1>And as I said in an earlier answer, I grew

0:33:31.640 --> 0:33:33.320
<v Speaker 1>up in a household where my parents talk to me

0:33:33.360 --> 0:33:36.400
<v Speaker 1>about how people used to use religion to justify the

0:33:36.440 --> 0:33:40.600
<v Speaker 1>discrimination against African Americans. Is he what he's telling you there?

0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:46.840
<v Speaker 1>That's Corey Booker, very mainstream Democrat presidential candidate. If you

0:33:46.880 --> 0:33:49.600
<v Speaker 1>are a traditional Christian who believes that marriage is between

0:33:49.600 --> 0:33:52.840
<v Speaker 1>a man and a woman, not only do you just

0:33:52.920 --> 0:33:54.760
<v Speaker 1>accept now that you live in a country where, because

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:57.640
<v Speaker 1>of a Supreme Court fiat it was this was not legislated,

0:33:57.680 --> 0:33:59.760
<v Speaker 1>this was not passed by Congress. Because of the Supreme Court.

0:33:59.800 --> 0:34:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Just you now have what is called marriage equality, what

0:34:04.280 --> 0:34:07.400
<v Speaker 1>was formerly called gay marriage across the country as the

0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:10.440
<v Speaker 1>as the law of the land. But if in your

0:34:10.440 --> 0:34:17.600
<v Speaker 1>own institution, Catholic school, Christian, Christian Church, if you have

0:34:17.640 --> 0:34:20.279
<v Speaker 1>any problem, or if you have any policy that conflicts

0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:25.520
<v Speaker 1>with marriage equality, you're a bigot. That's what the Democrats

0:34:25.560 --> 0:34:30.680
<v Speaker 1>really think. And you know this is the overwhelming majority

0:34:30.719 --> 0:34:33.319
<v Speaker 1>of Democrats. If you ask them, they will tell you

0:34:34.239 --> 0:34:37.359
<v Speaker 1>that a church, any Christian church, only Christian churches, though

0:34:37.360 --> 0:34:39.040
<v Speaker 1>they won't they won't say that about any other religion.

0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:43.840
<v Speaker 1>If you don't support same sex every either, same sex

0:34:44.200 --> 0:34:47.160
<v Speaker 1>ideology across the board, you're a bigot. Welcome back to

0:34:47.160 --> 0:34:50.399
<v Speaker 1>the buck sex and show, everybody. So President Trump had

0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:52.239
<v Speaker 1>a rally last night. You had you had CNN do

0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:59.759
<v Speaker 1>it's town hall style show with nine Democrat candidates. They're

0:34:59.800 --> 0:35:02.640
<v Speaker 1>all Los Angeles, and we talked quite a bit about that.

0:35:02.719 --> 0:35:06.000
<v Speaker 1>But then you also have the Trump rally last night,

0:35:06.040 --> 0:35:08.520
<v Speaker 1>which was a nice reprieve I think for those of

0:35:08.640 --> 0:35:11.920
<v Speaker 1>us who support the president from what we've been forced

0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:15.160
<v Speaker 1>to endure in the news cycle of the last week

0:35:15.239 --> 0:35:18.840
<v Speaker 1>or so, which is all this hysterical, oh my gosh,

0:35:18.880 --> 0:35:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the Republic is at stake stuff about Trump and Ukraine.

0:35:22.800 --> 0:35:27.360
<v Speaker 1>We will speak more about that. But Trump was doing

0:35:27.400 --> 0:35:29.840
<v Speaker 1>his thing last night. He decided that he wasn't going

0:35:29.880 --> 0:35:33.759
<v Speaker 1>to hold back at all. Play clip twenty two. He

0:35:33.960 --> 0:35:39.040
<v Speaker 1>was only a good vice president because he understood how

0:35:39.080 --> 0:35:46.640
<v Speaker 1>to kiss Barack Obama's ass. This is what the Democrat nominee,

0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:49.799
<v Speaker 1>whoever he or she may be, is in for a

0:35:49.840 --> 0:35:52.160
<v Speaker 1>president who is not going to hold back, who is

0:35:52.200 --> 0:35:55.880
<v Speaker 1>going to fight fire with fire and then some and

0:35:56.080 --> 0:35:59.360
<v Speaker 1>the media can wave a finger and say, how dare you?

0:35:59.400 --> 0:36:01.520
<v Speaker 1>As much as they want, he's not going to stop.

0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I think that the president, how could he not have

0:36:05.840 --> 0:36:09.160
<v Speaker 1>taken all of the stuff that has gone on here

0:36:09.920 --> 0:36:13.319
<v Speaker 1>very personally. Remember, the Democrats aren't just going after this

0:36:13.320 --> 0:36:17.560
<v Speaker 1>president politically, they're going after him personally. They want to

0:36:17.600 --> 0:36:21.440
<v Speaker 1>humiliate him. They want to imprison him if they can.

0:36:21.480 --> 0:36:24.600
<v Speaker 1>They want to incarcerate his family members, his advisors, prison,

0:36:24.680 --> 0:36:27.279
<v Speaker 1>everyone has to go to prison. That's what they want.

0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Anything short of an official repudiation of the twenty sixteen election,

0:36:33.040 --> 0:36:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and Donald Trump, at least threatened with the possibility of

0:36:36.600 --> 0:36:41.200
<v Speaker 1>incarceration and some of his senior advisors and family members

0:36:41.280 --> 0:36:48.200
<v Speaker 1>going along with him is flatly unacceptable to the Democrat left.

0:36:48.200 --> 0:36:50.600
<v Speaker 1>They just won't. They will not go along with it.

0:36:50.640 --> 0:36:56.439
<v Speaker 1>They'll say that it's an insufficient situation. And so that's

0:36:56.480 --> 0:37:01.160
<v Speaker 1>why that's why. I think we need to understand what's

0:37:01.160 --> 0:37:05.279
<v Speaker 1>really going on here with the Ukraine scandal. Oh, the

0:37:05.360 --> 0:37:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine scandal. I keep seeing people who are they're falling

0:37:10.640 --> 0:37:14.400
<v Speaker 1>for it all over again. I don't care that it

0:37:14.440 --> 0:37:21.520
<v Speaker 1>looks rough. I don't care that it's it feels a

0:37:21.560 --> 0:37:25.120
<v Speaker 1>little bit politically dirty for the President to bring up

0:37:25.440 --> 0:37:27.719
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden's name in a conversation with a foreign head

0:37:27.760 --> 0:37:31.000
<v Speaker 1>of state. There is a predicate, there is a basis,

0:37:31.040 --> 0:37:33.880
<v Speaker 1>a legitimate suspicion, and basis for investigation. We know that

0:37:33.920 --> 0:37:38.000
<v Speaker 1>because there already was some investigation going on. The President

0:37:38.080 --> 0:37:42.440
<v Speaker 1>raised concerns. There has not been the establishment, despite what

0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:44.920
<v Speaker 1>you're reading the media, of any quid pro quo. And

0:37:45.080 --> 0:37:48.719
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden does not have immunity, nor does his son

0:37:48.800 --> 0:37:52.919
<v Speaker 1>have immunity, because they happen to be the best hope

0:37:53.000 --> 0:37:57.719
<v Speaker 1>right now of Democrats defeating Trump. Sorry, I know that

0:37:57.760 --> 0:38:00.359
<v Speaker 1>it bothers people. I know that they'd like to believe that. Oh,

0:38:00.560 --> 0:38:03.160
<v Speaker 1>you b but our president. You know, the founding fathers,

0:38:03.360 --> 0:38:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the founding fathers, I mean Aaron Burr shot Alexander Hamilton.

0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:09.480
<v Speaker 1>We were really going to talk about this, and this

0:38:09.560 --> 0:38:14.560
<v Speaker 1>is politics is an ugly messy business people act like

0:38:14.600 --> 0:38:17.839
<v Speaker 1>in the earliest days, the rumors that different politicians at

0:38:17.840 --> 0:38:20.200
<v Speaker 1>the time of the American founding were spreading about each other,

0:38:21.040 --> 0:38:23.200
<v Speaker 1>rumors that are being spread about Thomas Jefferson, rumors that

0:38:23.160 --> 0:38:24.920
<v Speaker 1>are being spread about John Adams. You go through this,

0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:29.040
<v Speaker 1>it was Noah holds barred man. I mean, the Democrats

0:38:29.120 --> 0:38:32.600
<v Speaker 1>love to do this to us, though, because Republicans, or

0:38:32.600 --> 0:38:37.040
<v Speaker 1>at least the right, is highly imperfect. Trump is highly imperfect.

0:38:37.880 --> 0:38:41.960
<v Speaker 1>But there's at least some belief that there are rules,

0:38:42.000 --> 0:38:44.759
<v Speaker 1>that reality exists, and reality doesn't conform to whatever you say.

0:38:44.760 --> 0:38:46.399
<v Speaker 1>It is that the law is the law. You can't

0:38:46.400 --> 0:38:48.200
<v Speaker 1>just pretend to law is something else because you wish

0:38:48.200 --> 0:38:52.200
<v Speaker 1>it to be so. And while we may fall short

0:38:52.239 --> 0:38:55.719
<v Speaker 1>of our ethical goals, at least we have ethnical goals.

0:38:55.719 --> 0:38:58.440
<v Speaker 1>The left is like, whatever works power, go for it,

0:38:58.480 --> 0:39:03.960
<v Speaker 1>do it, get it. Stunning to see this continue to

0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:07.880
<v Speaker 1>play out. Everyone says, oh, look at what Trump has

0:39:07.920 --> 0:39:10.799
<v Speaker 1>done here, Look at how how horrible it is that

0:39:10.840 --> 0:39:14.759
<v Speaker 1>he has gone gone after Biden in this way. Here

0:39:15.080 --> 0:39:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden is saying that there are are violations of

0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:20.160
<v Speaker 1>his oath of office. Of course, he is twenty one

0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump has violated his oath of office, betrayed this nation,

0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:32.600
<v Speaker 1>and committed impeachable acts. To preserve our constitution, our democracy,

0:39:33.360 --> 0:39:40.400
<v Speaker 1>our basic integrity, he should be impeached to preserve our democracy.

0:39:40.440 --> 0:39:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean they use these words, they trot out these slogans,

0:39:45.280 --> 0:39:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and that they can keep a straight face. I just

0:39:46.920 --> 0:39:51.440
<v Speaker 1>find remarkable. Ah. Yes, to defend our democracy, we must

0:39:51.440 --> 0:39:54.960
<v Speaker 1>impeach this president. Yeah, that's right. To defend the democracy,

0:39:54.960 --> 0:39:57.239
<v Speaker 1>you have to pretend that this guy never won the

0:39:57.239 --> 0:39:59.359
<v Speaker 1>election the last time around and isn't about to win

0:39:59.400 --> 0:40:02.920
<v Speaker 1>this election this time around unless the Democrats played dirty tricks.

0:40:04.160 --> 0:40:08.399
<v Speaker 1>But I can tell you that you know that I'm

0:40:08.440 --> 0:40:12.120
<v Speaker 1>a I've been reading up and doing some research on

0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say I'm a fan of but that's

0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:15.440
<v Speaker 1>not really the right right way to say it. I've

0:40:15.520 --> 0:40:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I've been deep diving into the Committee of Public Safety

0:40:18.960 --> 0:40:21.840
<v Speaker 1>of the French Revolution. Now this all makes sense in

0:40:21.840 --> 0:40:27.239
<v Speaker 1>a second, but the Committee of Public Safety became a

0:40:27.239 --> 0:40:33.640
<v Speaker 1>committee of dictatorship, send people off to the guillotine execution

0:40:33.760 --> 0:40:37.480
<v Speaker 1>for any number of real or imagined crimes, overwhelmingly imagined crimes,

0:40:38.480 --> 0:40:41.480
<v Speaker 1>and it was always justified though along the way by

0:40:42.080 --> 0:40:47.280
<v Speaker 1>some of the most intelligent, erudite statesman you'd find anywhere

0:40:47.280 --> 0:40:53.120
<v Speaker 1>in France in the seventeen nineties. Right, That's that's the truth,

0:40:53.200 --> 0:40:54.800
<v Speaker 1>is that these were people that were supposed to be

0:40:54.840 --> 0:40:56.640
<v Speaker 1>the best and the brightest, as we see time and again.

0:40:57.440 --> 0:41:01.320
<v Speaker 1>But one of the working theories, especially when the Committee

0:41:01.280 --> 0:41:03.680
<v Speaker 1>of Public Safety turned against the National Assembly and there

0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:08.640
<v Speaker 1>were there were there was infighting, political infighting, was the

0:41:08.680 --> 0:41:13.080
<v Speaker 1>rejection of the charges. When somebody would say, I am

0:41:13.160 --> 0:41:17.520
<v Speaker 1>not guilty of treason, how dare you? That rejection was

0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:20.520
<v Speaker 1>taken by the real center of power, which was this

0:41:20.600 --> 0:41:24.279
<v Speaker 1>dictatorial committee that could have anyone executed. As see, he

0:41:24.320 --> 0:41:28.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't even respect the will of the people as evidence

0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:32.120
<v Speaker 1>through these charges, and therefore the verdict must come swiftly.

0:41:33.440 --> 0:41:38.280
<v Speaker 1>In essence your rejection of the accusation, it is proof

0:41:38.320 --> 0:41:41.640
<v Speaker 1>that the allegation must be true. So this is not

0:41:41.719 --> 0:41:46.480
<v Speaker 1>a new phenomenon. It's exactly what they did to Brett Kavanaugh, right,

0:41:46.520 --> 0:41:49.080
<v Speaker 1>remember that whole he got mad. Yeah, when the crazy

0:41:49.120 --> 0:41:51.399
<v Speaker 1>ladies were lying about him being a rapist, he got mad.

0:41:51.920 --> 0:41:54.319
<v Speaker 1>That's that's a normal thing for any guy to do.

0:41:55.760 --> 0:41:58.040
<v Speaker 1>That's that's a normal thing for any guy to do.

0:41:58.600 --> 0:42:01.040
<v Speaker 1>People were pretending like it wasn't do you see how

0:42:01.080 --> 0:42:05.399
<v Speaker 1>angry he was, Yeah, of course he was. They say

0:42:05.400 --> 0:42:08.560
<v Speaker 1>this about Trump when he's the obstruction counts and the

0:42:08.600 --> 0:42:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Malla report. It's all, oh, how how could Trump have said, Oh,

0:42:12.200 --> 0:42:14.799
<v Speaker 1>shut this down, fire this person. This is crazy. Yeah,

0:42:14.800 --> 0:42:18.000
<v Speaker 1>because he was innocent, because it was a witch hunt,

0:42:18.040 --> 0:42:23.040
<v Speaker 1>because it was all a lie. Ah. But his rejection

0:42:23.719 --> 0:42:27.200
<v Speaker 1>of their effort to destroy him was further evidence that

0:42:27.920 --> 0:42:30.839
<v Speaker 1>he should be destroyed. That's that's the position that they

0:42:30.840 --> 0:42:34.160
<v Speaker 1>were taking. And now we have the exact same circumstance

0:42:34.880 --> 0:42:39.439
<v Speaker 1>with Ukraine. Right now, it's the president wants to look

0:42:39.480 --> 0:42:42.480
<v Speaker 1>into the effort to take him down, has the dj

0:42:42.719 --> 0:42:47.520
<v Speaker 1>already and Durham, the US attorney for Connecticut, and Bill

0:42:47.560 --> 0:42:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Barr has them looking into this situation and the fact

0:42:52.760 --> 0:42:55.759
<v Speaker 1>that he wants to know the facts of how they

0:42:55.840 --> 0:43:00.279
<v Speaker 1>tried to destroy his presidency and the last off coup effort,

0:43:00.640 --> 0:43:04.000
<v Speaker 1>how it failed, but how it even got started. That

0:43:04.160 --> 0:43:07.600
<v Speaker 1>is being taken as evidence that he's corrupt and he's

0:43:07.600 --> 0:43:13.360
<v Speaker 1>guilty all along at any effort to push back against this,

0:43:13.360 --> 0:43:17.719
<v Speaker 1>this soft coup, this conspiracy to destroy a president and

0:43:17.800 --> 0:43:20.320
<v Speaker 1>undo the results of the twenty sixteen election, any effort

0:43:20.480 --> 0:43:24.319
<v Speaker 1>that you'll see, they try to an Elynsky style frees it,

0:43:24.360 --> 0:43:26.360
<v Speaker 1>isolate it, destroy it. They try to make it seem

0:43:26.400 --> 0:43:29.799
<v Speaker 1>like that alone is evidence that Trump is guilty and

0:43:29.840 --> 0:43:34.440
<v Speaker 1>has been guilty all along. This is kafka esque. But

0:43:34.520 --> 0:43:39.959
<v Speaker 1>when you deal with a totalitarian mentality, when you're subjected

0:43:41.040 --> 0:43:43.600
<v Speaker 1>to people who are so ideologically driven that nothing else

0:43:43.600 --> 0:43:48.560
<v Speaker 1>matters except them getting their way. Because they're so marinated

0:43:48.600 --> 0:43:50.600
<v Speaker 1>in their own self righteousness all the time that they

0:43:50.600 --> 0:43:53.560
<v Speaker 1>have no sense of anything else, anything beyond their own

0:43:53.600 --> 0:43:56.400
<v Speaker 1>desires or the desire of the collective that they represent,

0:43:56.560 --> 0:44:01.680
<v Speaker 1>some small piece of well, then you have people who

0:44:01.719 --> 0:44:05.640
<v Speaker 1>will do exactly what we're seeing here, which is abandoned

0:44:06.360 --> 0:44:12.200
<v Speaker 1>forget about abandoning objectivity, abandoned rationality. Oh, the president is

0:44:12.239 --> 0:44:16.160
<v Speaker 1>not allowed to look into why they try to destroy

0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:18.360
<v Speaker 1>his presidency. He's not because he's not really the president.

0:44:18.400 --> 0:44:21.040
<v Speaker 1>You see, there's always a justification, there's always another layer,

0:44:21.600 --> 0:44:26.520
<v Speaker 1>and all the president can't ask for further information. Remember,

0:44:26.800 --> 0:44:29.680
<v Speaker 1>it could have been Zelenski, the Presidy of Ukraine, could

0:44:29.680 --> 0:44:31.839
<v Speaker 1>have come back and said, yeah, well well we'll take

0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:33.120
<v Speaker 1>a look, I'll talk to my guys come back to

0:44:33.200 --> 0:44:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the day say sorry, there's nothing there. Man. We really

0:44:35.080 --> 0:44:39.160
<v Speaker 1>did do the Biden investigation and I've got nothing for you. Okay.

0:44:39.960 --> 0:44:44.239
<v Speaker 1>You know, for Trump to have they're acting And if

0:44:44.239 --> 0:44:46.359
<v Speaker 1>for Trump have really been corrupt, it would have had

0:44:46.360 --> 0:44:48.680
<v Speaker 1>to be a different situation. They're acting like he called

0:44:48.719 --> 0:44:50.880
<v Speaker 1>and said, I'm running against this guy. You know what

0:44:50.880 --> 0:44:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I need you to do? Arrest him and fabricate some charges.

0:44:55.920 --> 0:44:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I then, would I defend the president doing that? No,

0:44:57.760 --> 0:45:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I would not. Will I defend the president saying there's

0:45:01.680 --> 0:45:03.879
<v Speaker 1>real reason I believe? Of course, this reason. I believe

0:45:03.960 --> 0:45:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Hunter Biden's making millions of dollars from you created gas

0:45:08.080 --> 0:45:13.440
<v Speaker 1>company that's desperate to avoid the ire of corruption prosecutors

0:45:13.480 --> 0:45:16.280
<v Speaker 1>in the United States government. Oh, there's plenty of reason.

0:45:16.440 --> 0:45:20.800
<v Speaker 1>There is more. There's more of a basis for continued

0:45:20.840 --> 0:45:25.000
<v Speaker 1>investigation of Barisma and Hunter Biden and Joe Biden's involvement

0:45:25.080 --> 0:45:29.040
<v Speaker 1>here than there is Donald Trump Russia collusion. But look

0:45:29.080 --> 0:45:32.880
<v Speaker 1>what Congress was doing all summer, bringing more witnesses, just

0:45:32.960 --> 0:45:39.120
<v Speaker 1>keep the whole charade going. It's a circus. It's ridiculous. Ah,

0:45:39.160 --> 0:45:42.360
<v Speaker 1>but the whistleblower, let's spend some time now on the

0:45:42.360 --> 0:45:45.200
<v Speaker 1>specifics of the whistleblower. I don't want to have spies

0:45:45.239 --> 0:45:47.759
<v Speaker 1>in the White House. I want to be free to

0:45:47.840 --> 0:45:51.239
<v Speaker 1>make calls. I don't think it's fair that somebody interprets

0:45:51.239 --> 0:45:53.759
<v Speaker 1>a call. He didn't interpret it wrong. I don't mind

0:45:53.800 --> 0:45:58.640
<v Speaker 1>a misinterpretation. This was a fraud because that call was perfect,

0:45:58.960 --> 0:46:02.000
<v Speaker 1>and if you read the whistle blower's report, that was no,

0:46:02.160 --> 0:46:07.000
<v Speaker 1>it bore no resemblance to what the call was. The

0:46:07.080 --> 0:46:10.040
<v Speaker 1>whistle blower. It turns out, Oh, I shouldn't even say

0:46:10.000 --> 0:46:11.359
<v Speaker 1>it turns out we kind of knew this all along,

0:46:11.440 --> 0:46:16.439
<v Speaker 1>didn't we. There's really it's really no surprise here when

0:46:16.440 --> 0:46:20.880
<v Speaker 1>we find out that the whistle blower reportedly worked at

0:46:20.880 --> 0:46:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the White House under the Obama aministration and would have

0:46:23.160 --> 0:46:28.960
<v Speaker 1>worked closely with Vice President Biden. Does anybody think that

0:46:29.040 --> 0:46:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the whistleblower is not a Democrat partisan? Oh oh, but

0:46:32.120 --> 0:46:35.080
<v Speaker 1>there's a there's a second whistleblower, they tell us. Now,

0:46:35.120 --> 0:46:37.400
<v Speaker 1>so that's supposed to be that's supposed to make us

0:46:37.480 --> 0:46:41.400
<v Speaker 1>think that there's a real, a real legitimacy here, because

0:46:41.400 --> 0:46:44.480
<v Speaker 1>there's yet another person who has come forward and said,

0:46:45.200 --> 0:46:47.279
<v Speaker 1>look at what is look at what is going on

0:46:47.800 --> 0:46:51.440
<v Speaker 1>with this Trump phone call. It means nothing. We already

0:46:51.480 --> 0:46:57.719
<v Speaker 1>have the transcript, We already know what was said, So

0:46:57.760 --> 0:46:59.560
<v Speaker 1>what how is the person even a whistle blow? By

0:46:59.560 --> 0:47:01.919
<v Speaker 1>the way, the whistleblower report had falsehoods in it, which

0:47:01.960 --> 0:47:04.640
<v Speaker 1>tends to happen when you're going on hearsay when you

0:47:04.719 --> 0:47:06.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know what was said. You're just hearing from other

0:47:06.600 --> 0:47:12.680
<v Speaker 1>people what was said. Right. So we look now at this,

0:47:14.880 --> 0:47:18.239
<v Speaker 1>at this whistleblower situation with more facts, and the more

0:47:18.320 --> 0:47:23.239
<v Speaker 1>we learn about it, the more clear it is that

0:47:23.360 --> 0:47:27.120
<v Speaker 1>this is someone who has a political acts to grind

0:47:27.120 --> 0:47:32.040
<v Speaker 1>against the president's reelection, does not believe the president of

0:47:32.040 --> 0:47:36.400
<v Speaker 1>the United States should have ever won. And there are

0:47:36.440 --> 0:47:38.040
<v Speaker 1>now other people that are coming forward to speak to

0:47:38.080 --> 0:47:40.200
<v Speaker 1>the press and say that they were really bothered by

0:47:40.239 --> 0:47:42.759
<v Speaker 1>the phone call that Trump had with Zelenski as well

0:47:42.760 --> 0:47:45.000
<v Speaker 1>in the intelligence community. I'm here to tell you that

0:47:45.040 --> 0:47:48.880
<v Speaker 1>most of the senior bureaucrats of the intelligence community have

0:47:49.080 --> 0:47:54.760
<v Speaker 1>the same basic worldview and political beliefs as a gender

0:47:54.800 --> 0:47:59.839
<v Speaker 1>studies professor at a small liberal arts college somewhere who

0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:04.400
<v Speaker 1>self identifies as a socialist. Government is full of people

0:48:04.640 --> 0:48:06.759
<v Speaker 1>like that at the top levels and I know because

0:48:06.760 --> 0:48:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I was there. I was in the CIA. I remember

0:48:08.840 --> 0:48:12.319
<v Speaker 1>what some of the top people in that organization were like.

0:48:12.719 --> 0:48:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying all, but a lot of them. Especially

0:48:15.560 --> 0:48:19.280
<v Speaker 1>if you're a careerist, if your career state department, for example,

0:48:20.120 --> 0:48:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the chances of you being a lib are upwards of

0:48:23.520 --> 0:48:28.440
<v Speaker 1>eighty or ninety percent. It's like the media. Yeah, not

0:48:28.480 --> 0:48:30.239
<v Speaker 1>all of the media, obviously I work in media. Not

0:48:30.280 --> 0:48:33.680
<v Speaker 1>all of the media's left wing, socialist insanity. But if

0:48:33.719 --> 0:48:37.080
<v Speaker 1>you are somebody who has chosen to work in journalism,

0:48:37.440 --> 0:48:42.160
<v Speaker 1>chances are about eighty ninety percent you're a lib. Same

0:48:42.200 --> 0:48:43.839
<v Speaker 1>thing in the state department. So that there are more

0:48:43.840 --> 0:48:46.120
<v Speaker 1>people that are coming forward now to say, oh, I'm

0:48:46.200 --> 0:48:51.239
<v Speaker 1>so angry, I'm so concerned what the president did. Well,

0:48:51.239 --> 0:48:54.520
<v Speaker 1>this is their moment to pile on to try to

0:48:54.600 --> 0:49:02.800
<v Speaker 1>give greater legitimacy to what is in inherently weak story

0:49:02.880 --> 0:49:05.640
<v Speaker 1>week allegation, which is that the president what did he do?

0:49:06.920 --> 0:49:09.160
<v Speaker 1>There isn't a quid pro quo. They can keep pretending

0:49:09.160 --> 0:49:12.640
<v Speaker 1>it was implicit or implied, But guess what you could

0:49:12.640 --> 0:49:15.279
<v Speaker 1>do that with any conversation between a leader and someone else,

0:49:15.360 --> 0:49:19.240
<v Speaker 1>and between world leaders on any number of issues. Oh well,

0:49:19.280 --> 0:49:21.879
<v Speaker 1>you know he didn't. He didn't say, do this and

0:49:21.920 --> 0:49:24.200
<v Speaker 1>then do this other cool thing for me to help

0:49:24.239 --> 0:49:28.319
<v Speaker 1>my reelection. But it was implied. Implied is not a

0:49:28.360 --> 0:49:31.719
<v Speaker 1>fancy word for these are the words that I wish

0:49:31.760 --> 0:49:33.480
<v Speaker 1>that person had said. So I'm going to pretend that

0:49:33.520 --> 0:49:38.560
<v Speaker 1>they said it. You have the ex Ambassador Yavanovich who

0:49:38.600 --> 0:49:41.000
<v Speaker 1>has been called today in Capital all behind closed doors.

0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:45.799
<v Speaker 1>Of course, we're gonna get leaks as soon as as

0:49:45.800 --> 0:49:47.200
<v Speaker 1>soon as people can print them. They're going to be

0:49:47.280 --> 0:49:50.720
<v Speaker 1>leaks from this testimony behind closed doors on Capitol Hill.

0:49:51.719 --> 0:49:54.640
<v Speaker 1>You know you didn't hear about last week a diplomat

0:49:54.680 --> 0:49:57.520
<v Speaker 1>because immedia wanted to suppress this. What are they put forward?

0:49:57.520 --> 0:50:00.439
<v Speaker 1>What are they suppressed? Senior diplomat last week was saying

0:50:00.480 --> 0:50:02.400
<v Speaker 1>that there was no quid pro quo when the President

0:50:02.400 --> 0:50:04.359
<v Speaker 1>made it very explicit, there was no quid pro quo.

0:50:05.080 --> 0:50:08.000
<v Speaker 1>And when the President of Ukraine, Zelenski, had the phone

0:50:08.000 --> 0:50:11.359
<v Speaker 1>call with Trump, they didn't the creating government didn't even

0:50:11.400 --> 0:50:13.120
<v Speaker 1>know that there would be any delay in aid. By

0:50:13.120 --> 0:50:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the way aid that was given to them, the military

0:50:15.800 --> 0:50:19.200
<v Speaker 1>aid did go through, and there wasn't some special investigation

0:50:19.280 --> 0:50:21.239
<v Speaker 1>of Biden that we you know, that was launched as

0:50:21.239 --> 0:50:24.800
<v Speaker 1>a result of the Trump phone call. So there's no quid,

0:50:25.239 --> 0:50:28.040
<v Speaker 1>there's no quo. What are we even talking about? This

0:50:28.200 --> 0:50:31.520
<v Speaker 1>is insanity, it really is. It's it's bizarre. But you're

0:50:31.520 --> 0:50:33.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna have ambassad you have an Ovi who I'm sure

0:50:33.360 --> 0:50:36.879
<v Speaker 1>is a big lib big Democrat. It's gonna say, oh yes.

0:50:36.960 --> 0:50:39.200
<v Speaker 1>And it was really troubling. We were also troubled by this.

0:50:39.280 --> 0:50:42.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, these the same people who tell you that

0:50:42.480 --> 0:50:46.560
<v Speaker 1>everything Trump does is unprecedented, everything Trump does is unconstitutional.

0:50:47.160 --> 0:50:49.880
<v Speaker 1>That you know, the Russians handed Trump the election, even

0:50:49.920 --> 0:50:52.840
<v Speaker 1>though not a single vote was changed. They say crazy

0:50:52.880 --> 0:50:56.120
<v Speaker 1>stuff about everything. But now we're supposed to believe them,

0:50:56.400 --> 0:50:58.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, on these issues, we're supposed to think that

0:50:58.920 --> 0:51:05.840
<v Speaker 1>they aren't partisans. I'm just it's just absurd. The whole

0:51:05.920 --> 0:51:10.680
<v Speaker 1>thing is absurd. Now, I did see that there's some

0:51:12.120 --> 0:51:17.080
<v Speaker 1>issue with some Giuliani associates, Rudy Giuliani's associates who have

0:51:17.120 --> 0:51:24.279
<v Speaker 1>been arrested. Play that audio, my friend, I don't know

0:51:24.320 --> 0:51:27.640
<v Speaker 1>those gentlemen. Now it's possible I have a picture with them,

0:51:27.640 --> 0:51:29.480
<v Speaker 1>because I have a picture with everybody. I have a

0:51:29.520 --> 0:51:33.480
<v Speaker 1>picture with everybody here. But somebody said there may be

0:51:33.560 --> 0:51:37.560
<v Speaker 1>a picture or something where at a fundraiser or somewhere. So,

0:51:37.680 --> 0:51:40.960
<v Speaker 1>but I have pictures with everybody. I don't know if

0:51:41.000 --> 0:51:43.520
<v Speaker 1>there's anybody, I don't have pictures. I don't know them.

0:51:44.280 --> 0:51:46.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about them. I don't know what they do,

0:51:47.160 --> 0:51:50.439
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know. Maybe they were clients of Rudy.

0:51:50.480 --> 0:51:53.560
<v Speaker 1>You'd have to ask Rudy. I just don't know. Watch

0:51:53.840 --> 0:51:58.320
<v Speaker 1>how much the media invests and digs in on finding

0:51:58.360 --> 0:52:02.160
<v Speaker 1>about the ruddy Rudy Leani's associates here, the stories they

0:52:02.280 --> 0:52:07.440
<v Speaker 1>run versus the complete lack of interest in Joe Biden's

0:52:07.480 --> 0:52:11.000
<v Speaker 1>activities in Ukraine, the lack of interest in Hunter Biden

0:52:11.120 --> 0:52:14.680
<v Speaker 1>any in any context, and the way that Biden has

0:52:15.080 --> 0:52:20.239
<v Speaker 1>has gotten away with verbally slapping around reporters who even

0:52:20.360 --> 0:52:23.719
<v Speaker 1>even raised this issue, like, oh, it's ridiculous that you

0:52:23.760 --> 0:52:25.560
<v Speaker 1>would ask a question about how when I was Vice

0:52:25.560 --> 0:52:28.400
<v Speaker 1>president and running foreign policy for the US government in

0:52:28.440 --> 0:52:30.960
<v Speaker 1>a country my son was getting paid by a gas

0:52:30.960 --> 0:52:33.400
<v Speaker 1>company fifty thousand dollars a month and my son is

0:52:33.760 --> 0:52:36.440
<v Speaker 1>an imbecile who doesn't know anything about gas or Ukraine?

0:52:36.920 --> 0:52:39.319
<v Speaker 1>How dare you ask that question? The media goes, oh,

0:52:39.360 --> 0:52:42.120
<v Speaker 1>we're you know, We're sorry. We shouldn't we shouldn't have

0:52:42.120 --> 0:52:44.560
<v Speaker 1>asked that question. I guess I don't want to follow

0:52:44.640 --> 0:52:46.839
<v Speaker 1>up on that, because you know, the truth is most

0:52:46.920 --> 0:52:50.279
<v Speaker 1>journalists are cowards. Welcome back the Buck Sexton Show. The

0:52:50.400 --> 0:52:57.160
<v Speaker 1>NBA is putting on a clinic for how not to

0:52:57.239 --> 0:53:02.520
<v Speaker 1>handle hey, a pr disaster, for how not to stand

0:53:02.600 --> 0:53:07.480
<v Speaker 1>up for core values and to show the world the

0:53:07.520 --> 0:53:12.160
<v Speaker 1>process that all of you, all of the corporate grand

0:53:12.200 --> 0:53:15.920
<v Speaker 1>standing from the NBA about freedom of freedom of this

0:53:16.000 --> 0:53:18.200
<v Speaker 1>or freedom of that, whatever it may be, or are

0:53:18.239 --> 0:53:22.560
<v Speaker 1>about different political causes, or it doesn't really matter. It's

0:53:22.600 --> 0:53:26.040
<v Speaker 1>not serious, or at least it's only serious when there's

0:53:26.040 --> 0:53:29.160
<v Speaker 1>no consequence there are. They only mean it if there's

0:53:29.160 --> 0:53:33.240
<v Speaker 1>no downside. So the virtue signaling stuff. The NBA loves

0:53:33.760 --> 0:53:37.160
<v Speaker 1>things that look woke and left wing and progressive and cool.

0:53:37.400 --> 0:53:43.680
<v Speaker 1>They're all about that. But protesters in Hong Kong. NBA

0:53:43.719 --> 0:53:46.560
<v Speaker 1>has a very different view on this. I gotta say

0:53:46.560 --> 0:53:49.920
<v Speaker 1>the President, I think is totally right here to just

0:53:51.360 --> 0:53:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Trump smash all the nonsense that's being put out by

0:53:54.960 --> 0:53:58.600
<v Speaker 1>people from the NBA. Instead of hulk smash. We could

0:53:58.640 --> 0:54:00.360
<v Speaker 1>we could start to think Trump Smash kind of like

0:54:00.400 --> 0:54:05.359
<v Speaker 1>that Trump Smash play twenty. I watch this guy, Steve Kerr,

0:54:05.360 --> 0:54:06.920
<v Speaker 1>and he was like a little boy. He was so

0:54:06.960 --> 0:54:09.280
<v Speaker 1>scared to be even answering the question. He couldn't answer

0:54:09.280 --> 0:54:12.040
<v Speaker 1>the question. He was shaking, Oh, I don't know, I

0:54:12.040 --> 0:54:13.800
<v Speaker 1>don't know. He didn't know how to answer the question.

0:54:14.360 --> 0:54:18.520
<v Speaker 1>And he'll talk about the United States very badly. I

0:54:18.560 --> 0:54:21.279
<v Speaker 1>watched Popovich sort of the same thing, but he didn't

0:54:21.280 --> 0:54:24.520
<v Speaker 1>look quite as scared. Actually, but they talk badly about

0:54:24.520 --> 0:54:26.920
<v Speaker 1>the United States, but when it talks about China, they

0:54:26.960 --> 0:54:28.560
<v Speaker 1>don't want to say anything bad. I thought it was

0:54:28.560 --> 0:54:33.640
<v Speaker 1>pretty sad. Actually, it'll be it'll be very it'll be

0:54:33.760 --> 0:54:36.040
<v Speaker 1>very interesting. Excuse me, are you okay? Then with the

0:54:36.120 --> 0:54:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Chinese government pressuring the NBA over Hong Kong, they have

0:54:38.520 --> 0:54:41.279
<v Speaker 1>to work out their own situation. The NBA is they

0:54:41.360 --> 0:54:44.439
<v Speaker 1>know what they're doing. But I watched the way that

0:54:44.680 --> 0:54:48.799
<v Speaker 1>like Kerr and Popovich and some of the others were

0:54:48.840 --> 0:54:52.680
<v Speaker 1>pandering to China and yet to our own country they don't.

0:54:52.760 --> 0:54:55.359
<v Speaker 1>It's like they don't respect it. It's like they don't

0:54:55.400 --> 0:54:58.440
<v Speaker 1>respect it. I said, what a difference, Isn't it sad?

0:54:58.600 --> 0:55:01.560
<v Speaker 1>It's very sad to me. It's very said. Trump is

0:55:01.719 --> 0:55:07.239
<v Speaker 1>absolutely correct. They do like to trash America. They're very

0:55:07.280 --> 0:55:11.160
<v Speaker 1>quick to criticize this country. And in fact, I think

0:55:11.160 --> 0:55:14.319
<v Speaker 1>I've seen that the was the Portland Trailblazers. An NBA

0:55:14.400 --> 0:55:20.239
<v Speaker 1>team has just joined a a BDS boycott, divest, sanctions

0:55:20.360 --> 0:55:24.800
<v Speaker 1>campaign issue against Israel. So they won't do business anymore

0:55:24.840 --> 0:55:27.080
<v Speaker 1>with a company that does business with the IDF, the

0:55:27.160 --> 0:55:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Israeli Defense Forces in Zrael. So NBA teams they'll take

0:55:30.600 --> 0:55:33.959
<v Speaker 1>political stance. They'll just take left wing ones, and they'll

0:55:33.960 --> 0:55:40.000
<v Speaker 1>take ones that undermine America, that talk about what a bad, racist,

0:55:40.239 --> 0:55:44.439
<v Speaker 1>oppressive country America is. But China, whoa, I mean, China,

0:55:44.480 --> 0:55:46.520
<v Speaker 1>come out. China's a big market. They can't they can't

0:55:46.520 --> 0:55:49.560
<v Speaker 1>say that it's going to upset China. I want to

0:55:49.600 --> 0:55:51.640
<v Speaker 1>do that when there's money at stake for the NBA.

0:55:51.760 --> 0:55:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Because remember, conservatives, the right, we don't we don't pressure

0:55:55.680 --> 0:55:58.960
<v Speaker 1>people the way that the left does. We don't do

0:55:59.040 --> 0:56:02.640
<v Speaker 1>these campaign of do as we say or else we

0:56:02.680 --> 0:56:06.920
<v Speaker 1>will bring your business to its knees. That's really a

0:56:07.000 --> 0:56:10.920
<v Speaker 1>left wing thing. And so they can do this with impunity.

0:56:11.000 --> 0:56:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Usually they can trash the right. They can trash traditional

0:56:13.600 --> 0:56:17.160
<v Speaker 1>American values and American freedoms without it being a problem

0:56:17.200 --> 0:56:20.040
<v Speaker 1>for them and feel really brave in the process. But

0:56:20.239 --> 0:56:23.839
<v Speaker 1>China actually is gonna clap back, so to speak. China

0:56:23.920 --> 0:56:28.160
<v Speaker 1>is gonna punch back and say, oh, okay, you you

0:56:28.239 --> 0:56:30.160
<v Speaker 1>say something about us we don't like. Guess what now,

0:56:30.520 --> 0:56:32.359
<v Speaker 1>Now you don't have access to our markets. Now your

0:56:32.400 --> 0:56:36.640
<v Speaker 1>dollar signs are in trouble. And that's why the NBA,

0:56:36.719 --> 0:56:39.360
<v Speaker 1>for example, has canceled media availability for the rest of

0:56:39.360 --> 0:56:41.960
<v Speaker 1>a China trip. ESPN just reporting on that today of

0:56:41.960 --> 0:56:47.120
<v Speaker 1>a trip to China, and you're just not seeing anyone

0:56:47.120 --> 0:56:49.440
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA willing to say, willing to I don't know,

0:56:50.200 --> 0:56:53.160
<v Speaker 1>how about where something in solidarity with the protesters in

0:56:53.160 --> 0:56:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Hong Kong on the court and take a fine for that,

0:56:55.840 --> 0:57:01.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe maybe even do something, take some social

0:57:01.400 --> 0:57:04.880
<v Speaker 1>media active protest or just any anything in solidarity with

0:57:04.880 --> 0:57:06.760
<v Speaker 1>the people of Hong Kong who just want basic freedom,

0:57:06.880 --> 0:57:10.120
<v Speaker 1>rights and dignity and are standing up against and increasingly

0:57:12.360 --> 0:57:19.880
<v Speaker 1>tyrannical and violent Chinese authoritarian police force in Hong Kong.

0:57:21.080 --> 0:57:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Where's the where's the love, where's the support, where's the help?

0:57:25.200 --> 0:57:27.960
<v Speaker 1>These NBA guys. But they're all they're all multi millionaires.

0:57:28.000 --> 0:57:31.360
<v Speaker 1>It's so rich they can they can be locked through

0:57:31.400 --> 0:57:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the Chinese market forever and still never have to think

0:57:34.320 --> 0:57:36.080
<v Speaker 1>about money the rest of their lives, to be super

0:57:36.080 --> 0:57:39.400
<v Speaker 1>successful and globally famous. And so what what are they really?

0:57:39.400 --> 0:57:41.560
<v Speaker 1>What are the real risks they're taking? That's what this

0:57:41.720 --> 0:57:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Isn't some small business that's going to fold at the

0:57:43.880 --> 0:57:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Chinese say so. But they like to make a lot

0:57:47.160 --> 0:57:50.600
<v Speaker 1>of money. They don't want to make just a lot,

0:57:50.640 --> 0:57:54.080
<v Speaker 1>They want to make a lot a lot. Huh. It's

0:57:54.120 --> 0:57:58.760
<v Speaker 1>almost like greed over rides or I should say capitalism,

0:57:58.800 --> 0:58:05.080
<v Speaker 1>but the desire for accumulation of wealth overrides wokeness. I

0:58:05.080 --> 0:58:06.560
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's the first time we've seen that on

0:58:06.560 --> 0:58:11.120
<v Speaker 1>the left. But the best example of how not to

0:58:11.160 --> 0:58:14.520
<v Speaker 1>speak about this issue and to show what a silly,

0:58:15.480 --> 0:58:19.960
<v Speaker 1>ignorant hypocrite one can be when while the NBA's dealing

0:58:20.040 --> 0:58:23.040
<v Speaker 1>with this debacle, which it is, the NBA should never

0:58:23.160 --> 0:58:26.240
<v Speaker 1>have backed down, should never have placated the Chinese they

0:58:26.280 --> 0:58:31.600
<v Speaker 1>did right off the bat. Here is former was he

0:58:31.640 --> 0:58:33.520
<v Speaker 1>a three point shooter for the Bulls back in the day.

0:58:33.560 --> 0:58:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that what is this guy's the worst? Here's the

0:58:38.960 --> 0:58:40.680
<v Speaker 1>coach of I think it's the Golden State words. I

0:58:40.720 --> 0:58:42.640
<v Speaker 1>don't really watch. Thank you producer Marks here to make

0:58:42.680 --> 0:58:45.160
<v Speaker 1>sure I know sports stuff. Here's what he had to

0:58:45.160 --> 0:58:48.880
<v Speaker 1>say about the China situation. Basically, Yeah, America's really bad

0:58:48.920 --> 0:58:52.560
<v Speaker 1>too play it. It has not come up in terms

0:58:52.640 --> 0:58:58.560
<v Speaker 1>of people asking me about it, people discussing it. No,

0:58:58.560 --> 0:59:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Nor has our record of human rights abuses come up either.

0:59:04.000 --> 0:59:08.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, things that our country needs to look at

0:59:08.720 --> 0:59:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and resolve that hasn't come up either. So none of

0:59:13.320 --> 0:59:17.000
<v Speaker 1>us are perfect, and we all have different issues that

0:59:17.040 --> 0:59:19.600
<v Speaker 1>we have to get to and saying that is my

0:59:19.680 --> 0:59:22.840
<v Speaker 1>right as an American doesn't mean that I hate my

0:59:22.880 --> 0:59:26.040
<v Speaker 1>country and means I want to address things right. But

0:59:26.160 --> 0:59:30.000
<v Speaker 1>people in China didn't ask me about you know, people

0:59:30.200 --> 0:59:32.640
<v Speaker 1>owning a or fifteens and mowing each other down in

0:59:32.720 --> 0:59:36.200
<v Speaker 1>a ma all. I wasn't asked that question. So we

0:59:36.240 --> 0:59:38.960
<v Speaker 1>can play this game all we want and go all

0:59:38.960 --> 0:59:41.880
<v Speaker 1>over the map, and you know, there's this issue and

0:59:41.920 --> 0:59:46.760
<v Speaker 1>that issue, and the world is a complex place and

0:59:46.800 --> 0:59:50.640
<v Speaker 1>there's more gray than black and white. Oh wow, Thank

0:59:50.680 --> 0:59:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you so much, Steve Kerr for the most intellectually flimsy,

0:59:57.840 --> 1:00:01.040
<v Speaker 1>cowardly moral relativism that anybody he could ever conjure up

1:00:01.080 --> 1:00:05.760
<v Speaker 1>on the spot. That was amazing, wasn't it. Here's the

1:00:05.760 --> 1:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>guy he could say. Look, by the way, if somebody

1:00:08.400 --> 1:00:11.200
<v Speaker 1>ever wants to take the position, guys, I'm here to

1:00:11.200 --> 1:00:13.600
<v Speaker 1>play basketball to entertain people. I you know, I don't

1:00:13.600 --> 1:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>have a I don't have a comment to make on politics.

1:00:16.200 --> 1:00:18.520
<v Speaker 1>If if that's someone's position, I can always respect that.

1:00:19.160 --> 1:00:21.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, we don't have to make everybody a player

1:00:21.600 --> 1:00:24.080
<v Speaker 1>in the political realm. You don't have to do that.

1:00:25.200 --> 1:00:28.680
<v Speaker 1>The problem I have is that NBA players and the

1:00:28.760 --> 1:00:34.480
<v Speaker 1>NBA's as as an organization overall, are very politically active,

1:00:34.640 --> 1:00:37.160
<v Speaker 1>have all kinds of thoughts and ideas on politics that

1:00:37.200 --> 1:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>they must share with us all the time, right whether

1:00:40.360 --> 1:00:43.040
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, wearing the hoodies for Trayvon Martin or

1:00:43.080 --> 1:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, all any number of things. You know, Lebron

1:00:45.360 --> 1:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>James really likes to have his say about politics. Among

1:00:47.920 --> 1:00:54.040
<v Speaker 1>others who are you know, also superstars and worth unimaginable

1:00:54.040 --> 1:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>amounts of money, But but do complain about America a

1:00:58.080 --> 1:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>lot for people that are living in the free u's

1:01:00.800 --> 1:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>best most prosperous country in the history of the world.

1:01:05.320 --> 1:01:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Like someone like Steve Kerr, for example, guys, a millionaire

1:01:09.000 --> 1:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>famous played in the NBA before. Now he's a player

1:01:11.800 --> 1:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and he's trashing America. But but the moral relatives relativism

1:01:15.480 --> 1:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>here is what's really so it's just so just enraging. Really,

1:01:22.040 --> 1:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>if you wanted to say, guys, I don't know much

1:01:23.720 --> 1:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>about China, I leave that to other people, and I

1:01:25.840 --> 1:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>just want my players to, you know, focus on what

1:01:27.960 --> 1:01:29.360
<v Speaker 1>they do and I want us to be the greatest

1:01:29.400 --> 1:01:33.680
<v Speaker 1>league in the world. And fine, but don't don't say, yeah,

1:01:33.720 --> 1:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't have anything to say about China, you know whatever,

1:01:36.560 --> 1:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>because like everyone does bad stuff, man, Like you know,

1:01:39.920 --> 1:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>people are just like no one's perfect. Man, really, Oh

1:01:44.200 --> 1:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>that's I mean, Steve Kerr is apparently a moron. That's

1:01:47.880 --> 1:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>your gonna louse. We're not perfect either. We're not talking

1:01:50.600 --> 1:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>about perfect their, dude. We're talking about a country that

1:01:54.720 --> 1:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>has violated its covenant with its own people and is

1:01:59.320 --> 1:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>now ending out thugs, sometimes in uniform, sometimes not to beat,

1:02:04.440 --> 1:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>bludgeon and shoot them because they don't want the eradication

1:02:11.360 --> 1:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>of individual rights and democracy in a place that has

1:02:14.600 --> 1:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>had at least a taste of those freedoms in Hong Kong.

1:02:19.120 --> 1:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you either believe that human beings should have

1:02:21.040 --> 1:02:24.640
<v Speaker 1>some sense of some ability to have autonomy and self

1:02:24.640 --> 1:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>determination or not. But don't do this. Oh well we're

1:02:30.320 --> 1:02:33.760
<v Speaker 1>not perfect either. And the pivot, by the way to

1:02:33.960 --> 1:02:39.040
<v Speaker 1>a R fifteens, what does that have to do with anything,

1:02:40.080 --> 1:02:46.200
<v Speaker 1>you Steve Kerry, You unbelievable idiot. And this is a

1:02:46.200 --> 1:02:48.040
<v Speaker 1>guy who's got a lot of ideas. He'll talk about

1:02:48.040 --> 1:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>politics obviously switches so so he wants to, you know,

1:02:51.480 --> 1:02:54.640
<v Speaker 1>weigh in on a R fifteen owners. But he doesn't

1:02:54.640 --> 1:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>have anything bad, doesn't have anything bad to say about China. No, no,

1:02:57.160 --> 1:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>of course not, of course not. There's a tough situation

1:03:00.400 --> 1:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>and we'll try to figure that out. But this is

1:03:04.400 --> 1:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>like the leftist that I know who when they talk

1:03:07.240 --> 1:03:09.240
<v Speaker 1>they'll talk about women's rights in this country, and then

1:03:09.280 --> 1:03:13.640
<v Speaker 1>you bring up, say the horrific oppression of women, particularly

1:03:13.640 --> 1:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>in the Muslim world and especially in places like say Afghanistan.

1:03:16.160 --> 1:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>They say, well, you know, yeah, but the burka is

1:03:19.480 --> 1:03:23.919
<v Speaker 1>a cultural thing, and yeah, you know, the abusive women

1:03:24.000 --> 1:03:25.760
<v Speaker 1>is a high level, but they have a different culture.

1:03:26.000 --> 1:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, all this kind of wishywashy mealy mouthed on

1:03:30.040 --> 1:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>the one hand, on the other cowardice cowardice. And I

1:03:35.240 --> 1:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>can't tell Steve Kerr if I had to find it

1:03:37.880 --> 1:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>come up with the formula. I don't know how much

1:03:39.360 --> 1:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>of what he said is just stupidity versus just being

1:03:44.000 --> 1:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>a whimp. But the pivot to air fifteens is just perfect,

1:03:48.360 --> 1:03:55.120
<v Speaker 1>isn't it. Oh? Yes, Let's compare the violence against citizens

1:03:55.160 --> 1:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>and oppression of people in Hong Kong as a top

1:03:59.440 --> 1:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>down policy of the largest country in the world with

1:04:03.120 --> 1:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>the second biggest economy in the world. Let's compare that

1:04:06.320 --> 1:04:11.440
<v Speaker 1>to the random criminal acts of some individuals in this

1:04:11.520 --> 1:04:16.919
<v Speaker 1>country who have gone on mass shooting spreeze. Hong Kong

1:04:17.040 --> 1:04:24.640
<v Speaker 1>is operating concentration camps. Hong Kong is imprisoning Wagers, an

1:04:24.680 --> 1:04:27.240
<v Speaker 1>ethnic minority who are Muslims in the west of the

1:04:27.280 --> 1:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>country and putting them in re education camps, torturing them,

1:04:33.040 --> 1:04:36.840
<v Speaker 1>doing all kinds of terrible stuff. And Steve Kerr is like, yeah,

1:04:36.880 --> 1:04:40.480
<v Speaker 1>but America is not so great either. This is the

1:04:40.520 --> 1:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>idiocy of the left. I mean, this is and it's

1:04:44.040 --> 1:04:49.280
<v Speaker 1>a it's a common refraineal here. Well, sure, they're doing

1:04:49.400 --> 1:04:52.200
<v Speaker 1>terrible things in this or that country. You know, they're

1:04:52.240 --> 1:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>they're mutilating people for minor offenses against the Quran in

1:04:55.680 --> 1:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>this country. But you know America has its demons in

1:05:00.560 --> 1:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>its past. Two Huh, what does that have to do

1:05:03.320 --> 1:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>with anything? But the left embraces more relativism all the time.

1:05:10.920 --> 1:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>They don't understand that there are universal truths that human

1:05:14.440 --> 1:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>dignity and human rights. They talk about human rights, but

1:05:16.680 --> 1:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>then they don't really think that all humans should have them.

1:05:19.480 --> 1:05:21.720
<v Speaker 1>They just use that as a tool as a cudgel

1:05:22.240 --> 1:05:24.440
<v Speaker 1>to bash people or regimes that they don't like, and

1:05:24.480 --> 1:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>to make excuses for regimes that they do. Steve Kerr,

1:05:28.560 --> 1:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>that's right. We can't criticize we're in the NBA, for example,

1:05:32.040 --> 1:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't criticize China because you know, we have people who

1:05:34.640 --> 1:05:38.960
<v Speaker 1>own AAR fifteens. One of the dumbest things I've I've

1:05:39.000 --> 1:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>heard of public figure say at a long time. And

1:05:40.840 --> 1:05:45.120
<v Speaker 1>that's that's impressive because in a moment we're going to

1:05:45.200 --> 1:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>hear from Missieur Justin Trudeau. It looks like Missieur Justin Trudeau,

1:05:51.120 --> 1:05:54.280
<v Speaker 1>who's very woke, very left wing, very liberal. He is

1:05:54.320 --> 1:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>a male feminist. He is the anti chauvinist. He does

1:05:57.480 --> 1:06:02.080
<v Speaker 1>not like mankind the only legs humankind. He does not

1:06:02.240 --> 1:06:04.439
<v Speaker 1>really sound like this, But now we've created a fake

1:06:04.560 --> 1:06:11.360
<v Speaker 1>version of Trudeau for only this show. Trudeau is everything

1:06:11.400 --> 1:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>that people on the right like me, have been saying

1:06:13.040 --> 1:06:14.840
<v Speaker 1>about him for a very long time. But now we

1:06:14.920 --> 1:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>just add into that that he didn't he didn't dress

1:06:19.720 --> 1:06:24.800
<v Speaker 1>in black face, period. He had a dressing in black

1:06:24.880 --> 1:06:29.520
<v Speaker 1>face problem, like this is something that he thought was

1:06:29.680 --> 1:06:34.640
<v Speaker 1>clearly thought was really funny or clever or he was

1:06:35.360 --> 1:06:37.760
<v Speaker 1>all He did his numerous times. He did it so

1:06:37.840 --> 1:06:40.080
<v Speaker 1>many times, my friends. And this is on the record.

1:06:40.680 --> 1:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>He did it so many times that he doesn't even

1:06:42.120 --> 1:06:45.400
<v Speaker 1>remember how many times he did it. That tells you

1:06:45.440 --> 1:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot. Well. He looks to be I think he's

1:06:49.200 --> 1:06:50.720
<v Speaker 1>still leading in the post. I think he's gonna win

1:06:50.720 --> 1:06:56.080
<v Speaker 1>again in Canada, which is stunning Canada. What are you

1:06:56.200 --> 1:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>doing up there, my friends? What is going on? But

1:07:00.200 --> 1:07:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Trudeau is the problem is that people know this thing

1:07:03.560 --> 1:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>now and they can ask him as the questions. So

1:07:07.000 --> 1:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>they asked him about Oh, I'm sorry, A young person

1:07:11.920 --> 1:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>asked him about this situation. And here's how Trudeau tried

1:07:16.720 --> 1:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>to explain to a child in a classroom his black

1:07:20.520 --> 1:07:25.840
<v Speaker 1>face his black face incidents plural. And so, Lara, do

1:07:25.880 --> 1:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>you want to stand up and ask a question? Why

1:07:29.200 --> 1:07:33.880
<v Speaker 1>did you pick your face? Far? Oh? It was something

1:07:33.920 --> 1:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I shouldn't have done because it hurt people. It's not

1:07:37.360 --> 1:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>something that you you should do. And that is something

1:07:41.920 --> 1:07:44.160
<v Speaker 1>that I learned. I didn't know it back then, but

1:07:44.200 --> 1:07:46.840
<v Speaker 1>I know it now and I'm sorry I hurt people.

1:07:47.360 --> 1:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>But did you pick your note in your hands? Fan?

1:07:50.720 --> 1:07:55.960
<v Speaker 1>H Yeah, and it was the wrong thing to do.

1:07:56.680 --> 1:08:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean the kid, the kid. I know that I've

1:08:00.520 --> 1:08:03.080
<v Speaker 1>been saying kids shouldn't be involved in politics. Maybe this

1:08:03.120 --> 1:08:05.160
<v Speaker 1>is he's at a classroom, the kids are asking questions.

1:08:07.520 --> 1:08:10.919
<v Speaker 1>The kid there does raise a very very interesting point there,

1:08:10.920 --> 1:08:13.320
<v Speaker 1>which is it wasn't just black face. The guy painted

1:08:15.080 --> 1:08:17.479
<v Speaker 1>painted like his whole body a body part. It's just

1:08:18.400 --> 1:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>this he didn't know was a problem. Justin Trudeau, the

1:08:22.960 --> 1:08:25.920
<v Speaker 1>guys this much of an idiot. He didn't know it was.

1:08:26.000 --> 1:08:27.679
<v Speaker 1>This is the answer he gives this kid. I feel

1:08:27.720 --> 1:08:29.880
<v Speaker 1>like the kids probably his head thinking who is this?

1:08:30.120 --> 1:08:36.599
<v Speaker 1>Who is this imbecile? So anyway, I'm you know Trudeau, Yes,

1:08:36.680 --> 1:08:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I did not know it then, but I'm sorry or sorry,

1:08:41.160 --> 1:08:44.760
<v Speaker 1>trying to say the way the Canadians. He's sorry, He's

1:08:44.800 --> 1:08:46.880
<v Speaker 1>not that sorry. He's gonna step down. He still thinks

1:08:46.880 --> 1:08:51.160
<v Speaker 1>he should be the leader of a major Western country,

1:08:51.600 --> 1:08:54.559
<v Speaker 1>and Liberals are still going to vote for him. If

1:08:54.560 --> 1:08:56.519
<v Speaker 1>he were a conservative, he would never be allowed to

1:08:56.520 --> 1:08:59.160
<v Speaker 1>show his face in public again without being yelled at.

1:08:59.520 --> 1:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>But this is why just the hypocrisy thing keeps coming up.

1:09:02.880 --> 1:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Liberals don't really believe in the things they say. They believe,

1:09:05.400 --> 1:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and they believe it in so far as it makes

1:09:06.720 --> 1:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>them feel good and it's politically advantageous. But the belief

1:09:10.400 --> 1:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>can always be put aside. The belief is always secondary

1:09:13.280 --> 1:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>to the need for power and the acquisition of political

1:09:18.320 --> 1:09:22.799
<v Speaker 1>and cultural authority that can be wielded against other people.

1:09:23.800 --> 1:09:26.439
<v Speaker 1>There is a petty authoritarianism at the heart of every

1:09:26.520 --> 1:09:30.560
<v Speaker 1>left winger. Never forget that Trudeau is one of them.

1:09:30.720 --> 1:09:33.439
<v Speaker 1>There are many many others. But I just thought that

1:09:33.439 --> 1:09:37.240
<v Speaker 1>that the kid asking that question was just was quite

1:09:37.240 --> 1:09:41.800
<v Speaker 1>a moment. Apparently Canada's Prime minister once again. Folks. I

1:09:41.800 --> 1:09:43.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know what I gotta do to get my Canadian

1:09:43.360 --> 1:09:47.200
<v Speaker 1>brothers and sisters to wake up here you are now

1:09:47.360 --> 1:09:52.080
<v Speaker 1>entering the Freedom Hot Titical Operation Center, all sensitive programs

1:09:52.160 --> 1:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>musty keeps strictly need to know Team Buck is cleared

1:09:56.960 --> 1:10:01.560
<v Speaker 1>and ready for the Buck Brief. President Trump's recent announcement

1:10:02.040 --> 1:10:04.920
<v Speaker 1>that he will abandon the Kurds at the Syria Turkey

1:10:04.960 --> 1:10:09.360
<v Speaker 1>border is another example of how President Trump's reckless foreign

1:10:09.400 --> 1:10:16.600
<v Speaker 1>policy mirrors his reckless domestic policy. He even deserts his friends,

1:10:16.600 --> 1:10:21.040
<v Speaker 1>both at home and abroad. Let me be clear, I

1:10:21.160 --> 1:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>believe we can't stay in the Middle East indefinitely, but

1:10:25.240 --> 1:10:31.680
<v Speaker 1>abandoning the Kurds, especially so precipitously, who have fought shoulder

1:10:31.720 --> 1:10:35.080
<v Speaker 1>to shoulder with our troops against ISIS, is morally wrong

1:10:35.960 --> 1:10:40.479
<v Speaker 1>and could put American lives in danger. Abandoning the Kurds

1:10:40.600 --> 1:10:43.840
<v Speaker 1>is the wrong thing, the wrong thing to do. It

1:10:43.880 --> 1:10:47.760
<v Speaker 1>should not have come to this, But Republicans in Congress,

1:10:48.439 --> 1:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>by repeatedly demonstrating that they're unwilling to hold President Trump

1:10:52.920 --> 1:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>accountable when he does something wrong, have established a permission

1:10:57.600 --> 1:11:03.320
<v Speaker 1>structure for President Trump's reckless actions in Syria. Republicans in

1:11:03.360 --> 1:11:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Congress need to put their country over Trump. The president

1:11:08.400 --> 1:11:12.840
<v Speaker 1>likes to say he puts America first. In this case,

1:11:13.640 --> 1:11:18.639
<v Speaker 1>President Trump has put putin and Urduwan first, and America

1:11:18.720 --> 1:11:22.840
<v Speaker 1>and its security interests second. Turkey knows where I stand.

1:11:23.840 --> 1:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>And the last thing, okay, very simple. We had a

1:11:28.400 --> 1:11:31.840
<v Speaker 1>big victory. We left the area. I don't think the

1:11:31.880 --> 1:11:34.320
<v Speaker 1>American people want to see us go back in with

1:11:34.439 --> 1:11:37.800
<v Speaker 1>our military go back into that area again. We won,

1:11:38.240 --> 1:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>we left the area. I don't think we want to

1:11:40.400 --> 1:11:43.040
<v Speaker 1>go back in. Let's see what happens. We are going

1:11:43.080 --> 1:11:47.200
<v Speaker 1>to possibly do something very very tough with respect to

1:11:47.320 --> 1:11:53.200
<v Speaker 1>sanctions and other financial things. The situation in northern Syria

1:11:53.280 --> 1:11:57.120
<v Speaker 1>right now is a mess. Okay, let's just let's establish

1:11:57.240 --> 1:11:59.720
<v Speaker 1>right now there are no easy answers. This is complicated,

1:12:00.479 --> 1:12:04.040
<v Speaker 1>and anyone who tells you that they know exactly what

1:12:04.080 --> 1:12:06.200
<v Speaker 1>should be done here doesn't know what they're talking about

1:12:06.520 --> 1:12:10.440
<v Speaker 1>because there are too many different variables, too many pitfalls,

1:12:10.439 --> 1:12:13.920
<v Speaker 1>too many things that could go wrong, and right now

1:12:13.920 --> 1:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>it's just turned into yet another moment to bash Trump.

1:12:17.560 --> 1:12:20.640
<v Speaker 1>For most people rights, that's what most of the commentary,

1:12:20.960 --> 1:12:23.639
<v Speaker 1>the analysis you hear on the issue of the Kurds

1:12:23.680 --> 1:12:26.479
<v Speaker 1>in Syria is really all about. Let's let's step back

1:12:26.479 --> 1:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and look at a few core things. First of all,

1:12:29.720 --> 1:12:33.200
<v Speaker 1>you have the possibility of what would be an ISIS

1:12:33.280 --> 1:12:37.720
<v Speaker 1>jailbreak in northern Syria if the eleven thousand or so

1:12:37.800 --> 1:12:41.080
<v Speaker 1>ISIS fighters currently being held by YPG, Kurdish militia and

1:12:41.160 --> 1:12:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Syrian Defense forces. Really so the Syrian Defense Forces are

1:12:44.720 --> 1:12:49.680
<v Speaker 1>about half Kurdish, half Arab, but the Kurdish fighters are

1:12:49.720 --> 1:12:52.120
<v Speaker 1>really the backbone of it, especially in these northern areas

1:12:52.120 --> 1:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>of Syria, and they have in their custody eleven thousand

1:12:56.160 --> 1:13:01.839
<v Speaker 1>ISIS fighters. The Turks have already launched an incursion into

1:13:01.880 --> 1:13:06.200
<v Speaker 1>northern Syria and are clearing out some areas, and now

1:13:06.520 --> 1:13:08.519
<v Speaker 1>the belief is that they're just going to create They're

1:13:08.520 --> 1:13:13.800
<v Speaker 1>going to carve out a Turkish protectorate in northern Syria

1:13:13.960 --> 1:13:16.400
<v Speaker 1>and push out the Kurds from that area to give

1:13:16.439 --> 1:13:20.559
<v Speaker 1>them a buffer zone, effectively, so that they don't have

1:13:20.600 --> 1:13:23.280
<v Speaker 1>what they believe to be and what is technically listed

1:13:23.320 --> 1:13:26.559
<v Speaker 1>as a terrorist group, the PKK on their border, a

1:13:26.600 --> 1:13:30.880
<v Speaker 1>separatist Marxist guerrilla group that's been around for decades. So

1:13:30.920 --> 1:13:32.360
<v Speaker 1>that's what the Turks are doing now. The Turks are

1:13:32.360 --> 1:13:36.240
<v Speaker 1>being unhelpful in this regard, but the Turks also just

1:13:36.280 --> 1:13:39.640
<v Speaker 1>like the Russians in Ukraine, The advantage that they have

1:13:39.760 --> 1:13:41.760
<v Speaker 1>over us in Ukraine is that they care a lot more,

1:13:41.760 --> 1:13:44.360
<v Speaker 1>and they're right there. The advantage the Turks have in

1:13:44.400 --> 1:13:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the situation over us is they care a whole lot

1:13:46.360 --> 1:13:48.920
<v Speaker 1>more and this is on their doorsteps. So we can

1:13:49.000 --> 1:13:51.960
<v Speaker 1>try to back them off, and the President was talking

1:13:52.000 --> 1:13:58.080
<v Speaker 1>about that there. We can push them with economic sanctions perhaps,

1:13:58.680 --> 1:14:02.040
<v Speaker 1>but are Touan from what I saw reported today, is

1:14:02.080 --> 1:14:04.160
<v Speaker 1>threatening to say, you know what, if you guys try

1:14:04.200 --> 1:14:06.240
<v Speaker 1>anything with us, We're just going to open the floodgates

1:14:06.240 --> 1:14:10.280
<v Speaker 1>of refugees from the Syrian Civil War into Europe. How

1:14:10.320 --> 1:14:16.040
<v Speaker 1>about that? So er Towan is also willing to play rough,

1:14:16.560 --> 1:14:19.200
<v Speaker 1>make things, make things tougher on us. It's a very

1:14:19.720 --> 1:14:22.519
<v Speaker 1>complicated situation. I have a tremendous amount of sympathy for

1:14:22.600 --> 1:14:25.799
<v Speaker 1>and feel very badly about what's going on for Kurdish

1:14:25.840 --> 1:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>fighters in northern Syria right now. I believe they've been

1:14:28.360 --> 1:14:31.920
<v Speaker 1>eleven or twelve casualties from the Turkish incursion so far

1:14:31.960 --> 1:14:34.320
<v Speaker 1>as the numbers are very low, but that could escalate rapidly.

1:14:36.400 --> 1:14:41.040
<v Speaker 1>But the truth is the Kurds fought beside our soldiers

1:14:41.120 --> 1:14:44.439
<v Speaker 1>in Iraq bravely. Kurds have fought beside our soldiers in

1:14:44.520 --> 1:14:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Syria bravely. All the troops that I know, and I

1:14:47.920 --> 1:14:50.360
<v Speaker 1>know many of them who have worked alongside Kurds, say

1:14:50.400 --> 1:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>that they are honorable, they are good fighters, and they

1:14:53.720 --> 1:14:58.519
<v Speaker 1>don't have these these same penetration problems where you have

1:14:58.760 --> 1:15:02.040
<v Speaker 1>some radical will. This has happened many times with Sunni

1:15:02.080 --> 1:15:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Arabs in Iraq with different different groups, usually Pashtuns in Afghanistan,

1:15:09.040 --> 1:15:12.200
<v Speaker 1>who will infiltrate the armed forces that we're trying to train,

1:15:12.240 --> 1:15:16.320
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll turn on our trainers, so called green

1:15:16.439 --> 1:15:20.360
<v Speaker 1>on green on blue incidents. We don't. We haven't had

1:15:20.360 --> 1:15:26.679
<v Speaker 1>that with the Kurds, and they they prevented likely hundreds,

1:15:26.680 --> 1:15:29.680
<v Speaker 1>if not perhaps even thousands of casualties. Probably would have

1:15:29.680 --> 1:15:33.040
<v Speaker 1>been hundreds, but hundreds of casualties if the US had

1:15:33.080 --> 1:15:37.760
<v Speaker 1>to do the house to house fighting and clearing of Rocca. Okay, now,

1:15:37.800 --> 1:15:40.360
<v Speaker 1>so I understand these different namics, but let's also remember

1:15:40.400 --> 1:15:44.320
<v Speaker 1>that the Kurds needed to defeat ISIS too. ISIS would

1:15:44.320 --> 1:15:46.879
<v Speaker 1>come in after the Curds, so we help them defend

1:15:46.880 --> 1:15:50.960
<v Speaker 1>themselves and their territory. So they weren't just some proxy

1:15:51.000 --> 1:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>force for US that had no skin in the game.

1:15:53.240 --> 1:15:55.559
<v Speaker 1>They had all their skin in the game, so to speak.

1:15:56.280 --> 1:15:58.719
<v Speaker 1>They were all trying to fight against the Islamic State,

1:15:59.120 --> 1:16:03.760
<v Speaker 1>and usial forces in the United States Air Force gave

1:16:03.840 --> 1:16:08.799
<v Speaker 1>them critical advantages in the battlefield that kept their casualties

1:16:08.800 --> 1:16:10.599
<v Speaker 1>from me much higher than they would have otherwise been.

1:16:11.840 --> 1:16:14.439
<v Speaker 1>But now we look at okay, fine, what are we

1:16:14.520 --> 1:16:17.880
<v Speaker 1>really Trump has said that fifty soldiers or so will

1:16:17.920 --> 1:16:20.760
<v Speaker 1>be US soldiers really moved out of these areas, which

1:16:20.800 --> 1:16:26.160
<v Speaker 1>means that the trip wire for Turkish forces isn't in

1:16:26.200 --> 1:16:27.960
<v Speaker 1>place the way that it was. We still have about

1:16:27.960 --> 1:16:30.200
<v Speaker 1>a thousand troops down from I think about two thousand

1:16:30.640 --> 1:16:33.040
<v Speaker 1>in Syria. And I've been I've been advocating for we've

1:16:33.080 --> 1:16:36.280
<v Speaker 1>got to get them out. What is the let's go

1:16:36.320 --> 1:16:40.320
<v Speaker 1>through the alternative, because I keep seeing this said and

1:16:40.479 --> 1:16:46.479
<v Speaker 1>written that the endless war trope is unfair and not true.

1:16:46.560 --> 1:16:48.439
<v Speaker 1>And you know, you can't just say, oh well, if

1:16:48.680 --> 1:16:51.320
<v Speaker 1>you don't, if you don't want our troops to come out,

1:16:51.360 --> 1:16:53.400
<v Speaker 1>then you're in an advocate for endless war. Okay, Well,

1:16:53.400 --> 1:16:57.720
<v Speaker 1>what is the alternative? Remember, it's not the same thing,

1:16:57.720 --> 1:16:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and this is very important, It's not the same thing

1:17:00.200 --> 1:17:04.000
<v Speaker 1>to leave troops behind in a country at peace, who

1:17:04.040 --> 1:17:06.640
<v Speaker 1>are the guests of that nation? Okay? Then it is

1:17:06.640 --> 1:17:08.680
<v Speaker 1>to leave troops in a war, in an active war

1:17:08.800 --> 1:17:14.439
<v Speaker 1>zone with multiple parties vying for territory, vying for power,

1:17:14.760 --> 1:17:17.360
<v Speaker 1>and support of different factions on the ground, and they're

1:17:17.360 --> 1:17:20.720
<v Speaker 1>still blood being shed. This is just a fancy way

1:17:20.760 --> 1:17:22.879
<v Speaker 1>of saying We're a long way, not a fancy way

1:17:24.320 --> 1:17:29.200
<v Speaker 1>of saying that. Syria, South Korea, it's not Japan, it's

1:17:29.200 --> 1:17:31.799
<v Speaker 1>not Germany. We're not at the end of some massive

1:17:31.840 --> 1:17:35.479
<v Speaker 1>war where now we have established a regime and there's

1:17:35.640 --> 1:17:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the establishment of a regime in place that wants US

1:17:38.880 --> 1:17:41.200
<v Speaker 1>troops there or that has allowed a US base to

1:17:41.240 --> 1:17:44.800
<v Speaker 1>be there. We are in a war zone in Syria, Okay,

1:17:44.800 --> 1:17:48.479
<v Speaker 1>We're in the middle of an active war. And what

1:17:48.520 --> 1:17:50.400
<v Speaker 1>are we supposed to do it? How long are we

1:17:50.439 --> 1:17:56.840
<v Speaker 1>supposed to stay there? Where people keep saying that precipitous withdrawal. Okay, Well,

1:17:57.000 --> 1:18:00.160
<v Speaker 1>is there such a thing as is there any future

1:18:00.800 --> 1:18:03.599
<v Speaker 1>in which if we remove all one thousand troops from

1:18:03.640 --> 1:18:07.479
<v Speaker 1>Syria it does not seem like a participious withdrawal. Well,

1:18:07.479 --> 1:18:09.320
<v Speaker 1>the only way that could happen is if Syria is

1:18:09.680 --> 1:18:12.519
<v Speaker 1>at peace and the factions that are there are no

1:18:12.520 --> 1:18:14.679
<v Speaker 1>longer fun. Does anyone think that's going to happen anytime soon?

1:18:16.200 --> 1:18:19.400
<v Speaker 1>The civil war in Lebanon raged on for about fifteen years.

1:18:20.280 --> 1:18:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Syria has been going on for about five You have

1:18:24.080 --> 1:18:27.719
<v Speaker 1>the Russians there, the Turks are involved, the Iranians are involved,

1:18:28.200 --> 1:18:31.840
<v Speaker 1>all these different regional players, and we think we should

1:18:31.840 --> 1:18:36.760
<v Speaker 1>just leave a thousand troops there because what, what do

1:18:36.800 --> 1:18:39.160
<v Speaker 1>we even want the future of Syria to look like?

1:18:40.160 --> 1:18:43.479
<v Speaker 1>Why haven't we heard about that? But we want there

1:18:43.479 --> 1:18:45.840
<v Speaker 1>to be elections. If Syria is no longer really a country,

1:18:45.880 --> 1:18:49.839
<v Speaker 1>as I keep saying, there is still a Syrian national government,

1:18:49.880 --> 1:18:52.400
<v Speaker 1>it happens to be the Assad regime, and they maintain

1:18:52.479 --> 1:18:57.040
<v Speaker 1>control over most of the major population centers. But so

1:18:57.280 --> 1:18:59.519
<v Speaker 1>are we committed to stay in because we helped the

1:18:59.560 --> 1:19:03.280
<v Speaker 1>courage to feed iis? Are we committed to stay forever? Okay,

1:19:03.360 --> 1:19:06.719
<v Speaker 1>We're committed to stay based on conditions on the ground,

1:19:06.720 --> 1:19:08.720
<v Speaker 1>because that's what we committed to an Afghanistan. We've been

1:19:08.760 --> 1:19:12.200
<v Speaker 1>there for almost twenty years. It's always ground based conditions, folks.

1:19:15.240 --> 1:19:20.280
<v Speaker 1>The national security establishment seems to never want us to

1:19:20.320 --> 1:19:23.240
<v Speaker 1>stop having troops in any place. I think it's so

1:19:24.080 --> 1:19:27.000
<v Speaker 1>rich too that Chuck Schumer. They're saying, oh, we're pulling

1:19:27.000 --> 1:19:29.280
<v Speaker 1>out our troops, We're bannoning at Kurdish illas. What was

1:19:29.280 --> 1:19:32.639
<v Speaker 1>it when Obama pulled out troops, didn't want a status

1:19:32.640 --> 1:19:35.200
<v Speaker 1>of forces agreement, didn't want to have troops behind in Iraq,

1:19:35.640 --> 1:19:37.680
<v Speaker 1>and did a victory lap for pulling troops out. What

1:19:37.760 --> 1:19:41.599
<v Speaker 1>was that? Was that? Abandoning the Iraqi military, the Iraqi

1:19:41.600 --> 1:19:44.720
<v Speaker 1>troops that we were training and police and what was

1:19:44.760 --> 1:19:46.720
<v Speaker 1>that exactly? Oh, and then the rise of ISIS. By

1:19:46.760 --> 1:19:51.760
<v Speaker 1>the way, ISIS is not going anywhere really, it's an ideology.

1:19:51.840 --> 1:19:55.519
<v Speaker 1>So there will continue to be ISIS in surgeon elements

1:19:55.520 --> 1:19:58.920
<v Speaker 1>operating in Syria for the foreseeable and across the region.

1:20:00.720 --> 1:20:03.280
<v Speaker 1>But now if Turkey's involvement in the area means that

1:20:03.280 --> 1:20:06.680
<v Speaker 1>the Turks are going to take control or take some

1:20:06.800 --> 1:20:11.559
<v Speaker 1>responsibility for some area of Syria, we don't want it

1:20:11.600 --> 1:20:15.559
<v Speaker 1>to be our responsibility. And that's what I think people

1:20:15.640 --> 1:20:17.479
<v Speaker 1>keep forgetting here. We just don't want ISIS to be there.

1:20:17.920 --> 1:20:20.479
<v Speaker 1>You know, look at Afghanistan, we didn't want al Qaeda

1:20:20.560 --> 1:20:22.680
<v Speaker 1>and the Taliban to be there, and all of a

1:20:22.720 --> 1:20:25.799
<v Speaker 1>sudden that turned into well, now let's rebuild this country

1:20:25.800 --> 1:20:28.560
<v Speaker 1>and make it a functional place where there's democracy and

1:20:28.680 --> 1:20:33.679
<v Speaker 1>human rights and sovereignty and territorial integrity and can defend

1:20:33.680 --> 1:20:36.600
<v Speaker 1>itself against outside invaders. All of a sudden, we're rebuilding Afghanistan.

1:20:37.080 --> 1:20:41.439
<v Speaker 1>We've been rebuilding it for twenty years almost. We don't

1:20:41.479 --> 1:20:44.960
<v Speaker 1>want to be rebuilding Syria. Enough is enough. We never

1:20:45.000 --> 1:20:46.759
<v Speaker 1>I just see this player. We'd never learned a lesson.

1:20:47.800 --> 1:20:50.479
<v Speaker 1>And of course it's going to be hard. Of course,

1:20:50.479 --> 1:20:52.680
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be a challenge. You're gonna have to

1:20:52.680 --> 1:20:55.880
<v Speaker 1>make trade offs. They're going to be losses. Bad things

1:20:55.960 --> 1:20:59.000
<v Speaker 1>happen at the end of wars. That's just that's true.

1:21:00.000 --> 1:21:01.400
<v Speaker 1>You know. We we like to think of World War

1:21:01.479 --> 1:21:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Two is the kind of victory that we want to have.

1:21:04.640 --> 1:21:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Right in many ways, absolutely the case defeated Nazi Germany,

1:21:08.479 --> 1:21:14.120
<v Speaker 1>defeated imperial Japan. We also carved up the world then

1:21:14.600 --> 1:21:22.680
<v Speaker 1>condemned about half of the world to communist slavery and totalitarianism. Yeah,

1:21:22.720 --> 1:21:24.680
<v Speaker 1>that's what happened after the Second World War, you know

1:21:24.720 --> 1:21:26.360
<v Speaker 1>we Yeah, it was a big victory for us, and

1:21:26.400 --> 1:21:28.320
<v Speaker 1>it led to American prosperity. On these great things had

1:21:28.400 --> 1:21:31.240
<v Speaker 1>also almost led to a nuclear war that would have

1:21:31.240 --> 1:21:35.160
<v Speaker 1>destroyed the world because we didn't say afterwards, a whole

1:21:35.200 --> 1:21:38.080
<v Speaker 1>on a second Eastern Europe. We're not you know we

1:21:38.280 --> 1:21:41.040
<v Speaker 1>we East of Europe needs to have elections, Soviets you

1:21:41.080 --> 1:21:43.840
<v Speaker 1>need to back off. Come on, No, we said, all right, well,

1:21:43.960 --> 1:21:46.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, you take your half, We'll take our half.

1:21:46.400 --> 1:21:50.360
<v Speaker 1>See you later. Was the Korean War a huge a

1:21:50.479 --> 1:21:55.280
<v Speaker 1>huge success. Well, we save South Korea from being a

1:21:55.320 --> 1:21:57.840
<v Speaker 1>part of North Korea. But we also eventually said, okay, well,

1:21:57.840 --> 1:22:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I guess North Korea is staying. Find me a war

1:22:01.880 --> 1:22:03.559
<v Speaker 1>and I'll find you difficult choices that had to be

1:22:03.600 --> 1:22:06.000
<v Speaker 1>made at the end of it. This stuff is never easy.

1:22:06.040 --> 1:22:10.080
<v Speaker 1>It's never straightforward. Do I think that it stinks that

1:22:10.160 --> 1:22:13.400
<v Speaker 1>we are leaving Kurdish allies in the battlefield in a

1:22:13.439 --> 1:22:17.519
<v Speaker 1>position where they have to fend for themselves. Absolutely, But

1:22:17.600 --> 1:22:20.360
<v Speaker 1>do I understand why the president is just heat? They

1:22:20.439 --> 1:22:22.439
<v Speaker 1>never tell them that the troops can come home, folks.

1:22:23.200 --> 1:22:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Can they come up from Afghanistan? Oh no, you can't

1:22:25.400 --> 1:22:28.360
<v Speaker 1>do that. Can they come up from a rock? Oh no,

1:22:28.439 --> 1:22:30.240
<v Speaker 1>that's a terrible idea, because they come home from Syria. No,

1:22:31.360 --> 1:22:32.920
<v Speaker 1>when I say come home, I don't I don't mean

1:22:32.920 --> 1:22:35.040
<v Speaker 1>they have to go actually home. I just bean not

1:22:35.240 --> 1:22:39.840
<v Speaker 1>deployed in a forward country in a war zone. Do

1:22:39.920 --> 1:22:43.040
<v Speaker 1>we ever get to scale down? Do we have to

1:22:43.080 --> 1:22:47.880
<v Speaker 1>continue the spread of our military commitments all over the

1:22:47.920 --> 1:22:51.519
<v Speaker 1>globe and make them permanent? I mean, I remember this

1:22:51.560 --> 1:22:53.920
<v Speaker 1>was what John McCain was saying, Yeah, fifty years in Afghanistan.

1:22:54.000 --> 1:22:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Whatever we have to do. No, no, we don't want

1:22:56.880 --> 1:23:00.400
<v Speaker 1>to do that. That was a bad idea. And I

1:23:00.439 --> 1:23:01.880
<v Speaker 1>think that in no small part there are a lot

1:23:01.880 --> 1:23:04.960
<v Speaker 1>of people who don't want there to be a change

1:23:04.960 --> 1:23:07.800
<v Speaker 1>here because then they might have to do a little

1:23:07.800 --> 1:23:13.080
<v Speaker 1>bit of self reflection. What half the neo cons what

1:23:13.160 --> 1:23:18.240
<v Speaker 1>half the half the interventionists, the military interventionists wrought in

1:23:18.280 --> 1:23:19.880
<v Speaker 1>the Middle East and around the world. And the last

1:23:20.800 --> 1:23:23.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty years some of you are saying about the last

1:23:23.439 --> 1:23:27.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, seventy years, But let's say the last twenty years.

1:23:27.520 --> 1:23:31.439
<v Speaker 1>Has it been a history of successes? Is this something

1:23:31.439 --> 1:23:34.160
<v Speaker 1>you want to continue to do? And I always think

1:23:34.200 --> 1:23:37.000
<v Speaker 1>about it this way. I mean, I joined up with

1:23:37.040 --> 1:23:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the CIA after nine eleven because I wanted to help

1:23:39.120 --> 1:23:41.599
<v Speaker 1>my country. I wanted to fight al Qaeda and the terrorists.

1:23:43.720 --> 1:23:49.040
<v Speaker 1>But would I go to northern Syria. Would I go

1:23:49.080 --> 1:23:54.000
<v Speaker 1>to northern Syria and try to get involved in this

1:23:54.080 --> 1:23:55.680
<v Speaker 1>is the civil war? I mean, as much as I

1:23:55.720 --> 1:23:58.120
<v Speaker 1>like the Kurds, I think the answer is no, because

1:23:58.120 --> 1:23:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we have a core national security interest

1:24:00.160 --> 1:24:05.000
<v Speaker 1>still at stake in Syria. Has the United States broken

1:24:05.000 --> 1:24:08.760
<v Speaker 1>its commitment to the Syrians as a result of political

1:24:08.840 --> 1:24:12.960
<v Speaker 1>and battlefield realities? Now, yeah, I think that's true. And

1:24:13.120 --> 1:24:16.400
<v Speaker 1>is that fair? No, it is not. But this is

1:24:16.960 --> 1:24:19.880
<v Speaker 1>a nasty and messy business. And until somebody comes up

1:24:19.880 --> 1:24:23.160
<v Speaker 1>with an answer that doesn't involve all troops stay forever.

1:24:24.400 --> 1:24:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. I think the President has the right instinct here,

1:24:29.000 --> 1:24:34.680
<v Speaker 1>which is we've got to stop doing this. The alternative

1:24:34.720 --> 1:24:37.040
<v Speaker 1>to not stopping is to keep going, And to keep

1:24:37.080 --> 1:24:41.559
<v Speaker 1>going means the continuation of US military commitments far in

1:24:41.760 --> 1:24:45.600
<v Speaker 1>excess of what is wise. And I think what is

1:24:45.760 --> 1:24:49.720
<v Speaker 1>really possible for us to continue. The Clinton dynasty is

1:24:50.880 --> 1:24:55.840
<v Speaker 1>not over, my friends, This is true on a couple

1:24:55.880 --> 1:25:02.320
<v Speaker 1>of levels. First off, I don't think that Harry has

1:25:02.439 --> 1:25:05.880
<v Speaker 1>completely abandoned all hope of running in twenty twenty. And

1:25:05.920 --> 1:25:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I know I'm not the only one who says it,

1:25:07.200 --> 1:25:10.679
<v Speaker 1>but I used to ask a few people that would

1:25:10.720 --> 1:25:13.080
<v Speaker 1>come on the Hill TV show in DC when I

1:25:13.120 --> 1:25:17.080
<v Speaker 1>was the host there, I used to ask Hillary are

1:25:17.080 --> 1:25:19.639
<v Speaker 1>going to run? And they would look at me like, oh,

1:25:19.880 --> 1:25:23.040
<v Speaker 1>such a ridiculous question. Of course Hillary is not going

1:25:23.080 --> 1:25:25.639
<v Speaker 1>to run. Well, now she's talking about how she could

1:25:25.640 --> 1:25:28.200
<v Speaker 1>beat Trump again, and she's out there in public and

1:25:28.280 --> 1:25:32.599
<v Speaker 1>she's part of the hashtag resistance. And I don't think

1:25:32.640 --> 1:25:37.040
<v Speaker 1>anybody who understands who Hillary Clinton really is deep inside

1:25:37.840 --> 1:25:41.719
<v Speaker 1>knows that she's holding out that there's a some chance.

1:25:41.720 --> 1:25:43.439
<v Speaker 1>I've just been saying ten percent. I think that's about right.

1:25:43.479 --> 1:25:45.559
<v Speaker 1>There's about ten percent shot she gets back into it.

1:25:46.080 --> 1:25:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Anne has the backing of establishment Democrats and it's not

1:25:48.680 --> 1:25:53.720
<v Speaker 1>a total farce. But speaking of total farces, now in Westchester,

1:25:54.479 --> 1:25:57.040
<v Speaker 1>the powers that be in the Democratic Party are pitching

1:25:57.920 --> 1:26:01.479
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea Clinton. That's right. Now, we have to have Chelsea

1:26:01.600 --> 1:26:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Clinton going to enter politics. I knew this would happen.

1:26:05.520 --> 1:26:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I've been predicting it all along, and I do just

1:26:09.040 --> 1:26:12.519
<v Speaker 1>think this is gross. Now, gross doesn't mean she can't

1:26:12.520 --> 1:26:13.960
<v Speaker 1>do that or it's legal. I'm not saying that, of

1:26:13.960 --> 1:26:18.599
<v Speaker 1>course she can run, right. Nepotism in politics in general

1:26:19.200 --> 1:26:23.360
<v Speaker 1>is gross. It's not good when it's Chelsea Clinton. It's

1:26:23.360 --> 1:26:27.680
<v Speaker 1>not good when it's a Bush. It's not good anywhere

1:26:27.920 --> 1:26:31.880
<v Speaker 1>across the board. We do not have feudal lords in

1:26:31.880 --> 1:26:36.559
<v Speaker 1>this country. We are we're not in a monarchy. We

1:26:36.640 --> 1:26:39.880
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't think that people should get our vote based upon

1:26:40.360 --> 1:26:43.120
<v Speaker 1>their last name being the same as somebody else who

1:26:43.160 --> 1:26:46.519
<v Speaker 1>once got our votes. It's true for Clinton's, It's going

1:26:46.560 --> 1:26:49.599
<v Speaker 1>to be true for Trump's too, my friends. I'm sorry,

1:26:48.720 --> 1:26:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm not a dynasty person. I think it's just wrong.

1:26:54.520 --> 1:26:58.719
<v Speaker 1>It shows you that celebrity and influence and power matter

1:26:58.840 --> 1:27:02.920
<v Speaker 1>much more in our politics than ability, merit, hard work.

1:27:04.920 --> 1:27:08.719
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea Clinton has never had a real job in her life.

1:27:10.120 --> 1:27:12.400
<v Speaker 1>All the jobs she had she got she's at Clinton All,

1:27:12.960 --> 1:27:15.519
<v Speaker 1>Waltson this place, Waltson in that place. Never lasted anywhere

1:27:15.560 --> 1:27:17.559
<v Speaker 1>for more than a couple of years. You know, she

1:27:17.640 --> 1:27:19.599
<v Speaker 1>got paid to ba I think she got paid seven

1:27:19.720 --> 1:27:22.719
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand dollars to be a special correspondent at NBC News.

1:27:23.479 --> 1:27:26.839
<v Speaker 1>The worst on air performance I've ever seen on national

1:27:26.880 --> 1:27:31.280
<v Speaker 1>TV from a paid correspondent was Chelsea Clinton seven hundred

1:27:31.320 --> 1:27:33.600
<v Speaker 1>grand folks, as if she needed the money just to

1:27:33.680 --> 1:27:37.000
<v Speaker 1>pay off to the Clinton Dynasty courtesy of NBC. Oh,

1:27:37.000 --> 1:27:39.760
<v Speaker 1>but she's gonna run because her whole life, people have

1:27:39.800 --> 1:27:42.920
<v Speaker 1>been telling her how special she is, even though she's

1:27:42.920 --> 1:27:47.080
<v Speaker 1>never done anything really special and her parents are really corrupt.

1:27:47.280 --> 1:27:52.360
<v Speaker 1>We just completed a negotiation with China. We're doing very well.

1:27:52.439 --> 1:27:55.800
<v Speaker 1>We're having another one tomorrow. I'm meeting with the Vice

1:27:55.880 --> 1:28:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Premiere over at the White House, and I think it's

1:28:00.360 --> 1:28:02.800
<v Speaker 1>going really well. I will say, I think it's going

1:28:02.880 --> 1:28:05.640
<v Speaker 1>really well. So we had a very very good negotiation

1:28:05.760 --> 1:28:08.800
<v Speaker 1>with China. They'll be speaking a little bit later, but

1:28:08.880 --> 1:28:12.679
<v Speaker 1>they're basically wrapping it up and we're going to see

1:28:12.680 --> 1:28:18.439
<v Speaker 1>them tomorrow right here, and it's going very well. Trump

1:28:18.479 --> 1:28:22.120
<v Speaker 1>administration hoping to get sub kind of deal with China.

1:28:22.479 --> 1:28:26.280
<v Speaker 1>The markets surging today, people are saying because of optimism

1:28:26.320 --> 1:28:29.519
<v Speaker 1>on the possibility of a trade deal. Chinese Vice Premier

1:28:30.439 --> 1:28:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Lie Hey will be in Washington. Is in Washington today,

1:28:34.560 --> 1:28:36.360
<v Speaker 1>the first time they've been high level trade talks with

1:28:36.400 --> 1:28:41.519
<v Speaker 1>American officials in months. And there's a new set of

1:28:41.560 --> 1:28:44.679
<v Speaker 1>tariffs for on all Chinese exports the US. They're they're

1:28:44.680 --> 1:28:47.519
<v Speaker 1>gonna hit in the middle of December. So this is

1:28:47.600 --> 1:28:52.599
<v Speaker 1>perhaps a last moment in time where you might get

1:28:52.640 --> 1:28:56.920
<v Speaker 1>some kind of deal, and if you don't, you're gonna

1:28:56.960 --> 1:29:00.400
<v Speaker 1>have tariffs that hit both sides and could have some

1:29:00.439 --> 1:29:03.920
<v Speaker 1>really nasty effects on both economies. Although it has so

1:29:03.960 --> 1:29:06.960
<v Speaker 1>far hurt China's economy more than it has hurt ours,

1:29:06.960 --> 1:29:10.639
<v Speaker 1>I think that's that's very very much the case. It's

1:29:10.640 --> 1:29:15.000
<v Speaker 1>true the not necessarily conventional, but the smart wisdom. I'd

1:29:15.040 --> 1:29:16.760
<v Speaker 1>say the people that pay attention that I think know

1:29:16.800 --> 1:29:20.080
<v Speaker 1>what they're talking about, have been anticipating the possibility of

1:29:20.120 --> 1:29:24.160
<v Speaker 1>a Chinese a piecemeal deal or the start of a

1:29:24.200 --> 1:29:28.160
<v Speaker 1>piecemeal deal with China on trade to stall the next

1:29:28.200 --> 1:29:30.559
<v Speaker 1>round of tariffs from coming in and also to give

1:29:30.600 --> 1:29:33.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more political breathing room for the president.

1:29:33.320 --> 1:29:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I have to say, I think that there will not

1:29:35.680 --> 1:29:38.360
<v Speaker 1>be a deal. I don't even think there'll be a

1:29:38.439 --> 1:29:40.080
<v Speaker 1>deal of any kind. There might be a stall of

1:29:40.120 --> 1:29:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the tariffs, but that's not really a deal. That's just

1:29:42.160 --> 1:29:47.240
<v Speaker 1>kicking the can down the road. I don't see anything substantive,

1:29:47.520 --> 1:29:51.280
<v Speaker 1>substantive either of those ways. I like to say it, well,

1:29:51.439 --> 1:29:54.200
<v Speaker 1>we'll take it either way, buck. I don't see either

1:29:54.240 --> 1:29:56.840
<v Speaker 1>one of those things happening at this juncture, at this time,

1:29:56.960 --> 1:29:59.200
<v Speaker 1>so we'll see if I'm right. I tend to be right.

1:29:59.240 --> 1:30:03.519
<v Speaker 1>You know that speaking of China, one thing I did

1:30:03.560 --> 1:30:06.080
<v Speaker 1>not get you before I meant to get to were

1:30:06.120 --> 1:30:09.840
<v Speaker 1>these uh, was what happened when you had a journalists

1:30:09.880 --> 1:30:16.160
<v Speaker 1>asking James Harden Russell Westbrook about the China situation. Here's

1:30:16.160 --> 1:30:20.599
<v Speaker 1>how those two NBA superstars reacted Play three Hi Christina

1:30:20.680 --> 1:30:24.080
<v Speaker 1>mcfallin CNN. The NBA has always been a league that

1:30:24.120 --> 1:30:26.519
<v Speaker 1>prides itself on its player and its coaches being able

1:30:26.560 --> 1:30:30.240
<v Speaker 1>to speak out openly about political and societal affairs. I

1:30:30.360 --> 1:30:32.800
<v Speaker 1>just wonder, after the events of this week and the

1:30:32.840 --> 1:30:36.719
<v Speaker 1>fallout we've seen, whether you would both feel differently about

1:30:36.920 --> 1:30:42.360
<v Speaker 1>speaking out in that way in future questions. It's a

1:30:42.439 --> 1:30:45.160
<v Speaker 1>legitimate question. This is an event that's happened this week

1:30:45.240 --> 1:30:49.679
<v Speaker 1>during during the NBA and the answer this particular question

1:30:49.720 --> 1:30:54.040
<v Speaker 1>has not been answered. Yep, NBA trying to shut it

1:30:54.080 --> 1:31:00.599
<v Speaker 1>down basketball questions only basketball questions only. Have you ever

1:31:00.640 --> 1:31:02.880
<v Speaker 1>heard that, by the way, have you ever heard that before?

1:31:03.080 --> 1:31:07.439
<v Speaker 1>When when a journalist has asked NBA players, would completely

1:31:07.479 --> 1:31:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I agree with to see ann reporter there, It's a

1:31:09.040 --> 1:31:15.759
<v Speaker 1>completely legitimate question. You ever heard that about presidential election,

1:31:15.920 --> 1:31:20.160
<v Speaker 1>about Black Lives Matter, about you know, police brutality, you know,

1:31:20.720 --> 1:31:22.519
<v Speaker 1>name an issue that has come up in politics that

1:31:22.840 --> 1:31:28.040
<v Speaker 1>where there has been a really widespread and clear voice

1:31:29.400 --> 1:31:32.719
<v Speaker 1>from the from people within the NBA ranks speaking out,

1:31:33.040 --> 1:31:36.320
<v Speaker 1>and I've never seen that before. All basketball questions, Aliva,

1:31:36.439 --> 1:31:39.439
<v Speaker 1>that PR person was, oh my gosh, she's obviously a

1:31:39.439 --> 1:31:42.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit freaked out the prospect of Russell Westbrook and

1:31:43.280 --> 1:31:47.840
<v Speaker 1>James Harden answering questions about the NBA. I've just I've

1:31:47.840 --> 1:31:50.920
<v Speaker 1>just got to tell you, it's it's a shame. It's

1:31:50.920 --> 1:31:53.760
<v Speaker 1>a shame that this is the way it is. Um.

1:31:53.840 --> 1:31:56.439
<v Speaker 1>I would really like to see you know, you know who,

1:31:56.479 --> 1:31:58.040
<v Speaker 1>you know who really could do it. I just just

1:31:58.080 --> 1:32:00.759
<v Speaker 1>have Lebron James come out and say that we believe

1:32:00.800 --> 1:32:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that all people deserve freedom and we stand with the

1:32:02.800 --> 1:32:05.360
<v Speaker 1>desires of the people of Hong Kong. Such an easy

1:32:05.400 --> 1:32:07.960
<v Speaker 1>thing from to do. Think about what that would mean,

1:32:08.280 --> 1:32:10.960
<v Speaker 1>because you know, these plays NBA players, we always they're

1:32:11.000 --> 1:32:16.519
<v Speaker 1>superstars in this country, sure, but in China because you know,

1:32:16.560 --> 1:32:21.439
<v Speaker 1>these American athletes, especially in the NBA, they're like gods.

1:32:22.120 --> 1:32:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're they're just they're so revered because they're

1:32:25.240 --> 1:32:27.720
<v Speaker 1>the best in the world right and they have a

1:32:27.800 --> 1:32:30.439
<v Speaker 1>lot of cultural residence over there. I mean, if I'm

1:32:30.520 --> 1:32:33.599
<v Speaker 1>Lebron James and I'm already worth for all intents and purposes,

1:32:33.600 --> 1:32:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know if he's worth a billion

1:32:35.000 --> 1:32:37.479
<v Speaker 1>dollars yet, but he's pretty much worth a billion dollars

1:32:37.640 --> 1:32:40.200
<v Speaker 1>if he is, and he will be thanks to compound

1:32:40.240 --> 1:32:44.759
<v Speaker 1>interest in continuing endorsements. You know, you're already basically a billionaire.

1:32:44.800 --> 1:32:46.080
<v Speaker 1>You never have to work another day in your life.

1:32:46.080 --> 1:32:47.800
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna want to. You're the best basketball player in

1:32:47.800 --> 1:32:49.840
<v Speaker 1>the world. Someboud say the best basketball player ever. You

1:32:49.880 --> 1:32:55.160
<v Speaker 1>have a huge platform, and you could really inject hope

1:32:56.040 --> 1:32:59.800
<v Speaker 1>into the hearts of the people of Hong Kong who

1:32:59.800 --> 1:33:02.759
<v Speaker 1>are fighting for not remember it's not just their freedom.

1:33:02.880 --> 1:33:07.280
<v Speaker 1>This has implications for Taiwan, has implications for China internally,

1:33:07.360 --> 1:33:09.519
<v Speaker 1>has implicated. I mean, people are gonna watch what happens

1:33:09.600 --> 1:33:13.160
<v Speaker 1>here and it will matter to future generations. What's the

1:33:13.200 --> 1:33:15.600
<v Speaker 1>worst they canna happen is if Lebron James says that,

1:33:15.600 --> 1:33:17.400
<v Speaker 1>what are they what are they gonna do? They they

1:33:17.400 --> 1:33:20.080
<v Speaker 1>are fire Lebron James. I don't think so. People aren't

1:33:20.120 --> 1:33:22.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna watch him play basketball. People aren't going to support

1:33:22.200 --> 1:33:25.479
<v Speaker 1>of course not. You know, there's a greater burden on

1:33:25.560 --> 1:33:29.439
<v Speaker 1>the truly powerful and the truly wealthy and influential to

1:33:29.520 --> 1:33:32.120
<v Speaker 1>show I mean, I think there should be a greater

1:33:32.160 --> 1:33:35.200
<v Speaker 1>burden from to show courage because if they don't. You know,

1:33:35.200 --> 1:33:36.639
<v Speaker 1>it's one thing to say I don't want to get

1:33:36.640 --> 1:33:38.320
<v Speaker 1>involved in politics because I don't want them to shut

1:33:38.360 --> 1:33:40.080
<v Speaker 1>down my bakery, and then I you know, I can't

1:33:40.439 --> 1:33:42.400
<v Speaker 1>pay my bills and feed my family. I get that

1:33:42.479 --> 1:33:45.360
<v Speaker 1>not everybody should have to be in politics, but if

1:33:45.400 --> 1:33:47.080
<v Speaker 1>you are a public figure, and now I sound a

1:33:47.120 --> 1:33:49.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit like Spider Man, with great power comes great responsibility.

1:33:50.520 --> 1:33:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Previously Mark knew it was going there. But it's true.

1:33:53.920 --> 1:33:57.559
<v Speaker 1>Lebron James has has tremendous power. I don't just mean

1:33:57.560 --> 1:33:59.519
<v Speaker 1>to pick on him, I'm just but any number of

1:33:59.560 --> 1:34:02.840
<v Speaker 1>these players, now, I'm sure they'd say, oh, but back

1:34:03.240 --> 1:34:05.439
<v Speaker 1>there are other players who would suffer the cut out

1:34:05.439 --> 1:34:08.080
<v Speaker 1>of the Chinese market. I know that there's but these

1:34:08.360 --> 1:34:11.280
<v Speaker 1>these things either matter or they don't. Because it didn't,

1:34:11.320 --> 1:34:15.640
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter to you know, the Portland Trailblazers that

1:34:15.920 --> 1:34:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Israel is being treated like a pariah state. You know,

1:34:18.280 --> 1:34:21.000
<v Speaker 1>they're they're fine with that. So it's not like they

1:34:21.000 --> 1:34:23.599
<v Speaker 1>won't do politics. They just won't do these politics. They

1:34:23.600 --> 1:34:26.639
<v Speaker 1>won't do the let's help the protesters in Hong Kong politics.

1:34:26.640 --> 1:34:31.200
<v Speaker 1>And I think that we're forced to ask the question why,

1:34:31.280 --> 1:34:33.920
<v Speaker 1>and I think we have a whole bunch of very

1:34:34.080 --> 1:34:42.120
<v Speaker 1>clear but troubling and disappointing answers. That's what we'll see this.

1:34:42.120 --> 1:34:44.759
<v Speaker 1>This would be the opportunity Alitics is one major player

1:34:44.800 --> 1:34:46.559
<v Speaker 1>to stand up, and I think it would really mean

1:34:46.600 --> 1:34:50.519
<v Speaker 1>a lot, not just to our perceptions of the NBA,

1:34:50.520 --> 1:34:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I think we mean a lot to the protesters themselves

1:34:52.760 --> 1:34:55.320
<v Speaker 1>in Hong Kong. I think it would I mean, look,

1:34:55.400 --> 1:34:57.400
<v Speaker 1>this all started with one tweet from somebody I'd never

1:34:57.439 --> 1:35:00.599
<v Speaker 1>heard of before. It was a Houston Rockets generalman, right thing.

1:35:00.880 --> 1:35:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I've never even heard of the guy before, and that's

1:35:03.080 --> 1:35:06.200
<v Speaker 1>how this whole thing got going. Imagine what a true

1:35:06.240 --> 1:35:08.680
<v Speaker 1>superstar could do if he's willing to stand up and

1:35:08.680 --> 1:35:11.519
<v Speaker 1>support them. But so, I don't think there's gonna be

1:35:11.520 --> 1:35:14.880
<v Speaker 1>a trade deal with China anytime soon. And I also

1:35:14.960 --> 1:35:16.680
<v Speaker 1>think that you're not going to have anyone from within

1:35:16.720 --> 1:35:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the NBA stand up and really show some courage. But man,

1:35:20.000 --> 1:35:22.120
<v Speaker 1>it would be it would be quite a moment. It

1:35:22.120 --> 1:35:25.360
<v Speaker 1>would be one for the history books. I'm hoping they

1:35:25.400 --> 1:35:27.680
<v Speaker 1>proved me wrong on some of these things. I like

1:35:27.800 --> 1:35:33.160
<v Speaker 1>to be proven wrong. I would I would be celebrating

1:35:34.600 --> 1:35:37.160
<v Speaker 1>a prediction that I finally was on the wrong side of.

1:35:37.280 --> 1:35:40.600
<v Speaker 1>But I think you're likely to see the situation with

1:35:40.680 --> 1:35:43.640
<v Speaker 1>the NBA just continue as is where now they're just

1:35:43.720 --> 1:35:45.439
<v Speaker 1>on lockdown and hoping that they can make this whole

1:35:45.439 --> 1:35:48.280
<v Speaker 1>thing pass. Except for Steve Kerr. Maybe he'll say something

1:35:48.280 --> 1:36:06.600
<v Speaker 1>stupid tomorrow. It's time for roll call. Oh, team, I

1:36:06.760 --> 1:36:09.360
<v Speaker 1>missed you, so I don't like being away for a

1:36:09.400 --> 1:36:15.479
<v Speaker 1>couple of days. Vegas, Baby Vegas. I was there. It

1:36:15.520 --> 1:36:20.519
<v Speaker 1>was fun. I came, I saw I conquered the buffet table.

1:36:21.520 --> 1:36:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a gambler, so I can't pretend that I

1:36:24.000 --> 1:36:26.120
<v Speaker 1>don't gamble. And it's not for I don't have a

1:36:26.200 --> 1:36:30.840
<v Speaker 1>moral more. What's the word a rejection of it or

1:36:31.160 --> 1:36:36.320
<v Speaker 1>in a objection objection? Thank you? Look at you coming

1:36:36.400 --> 1:36:38.760
<v Speaker 1>up with the words for the radio host on the spot, Well, don't, sir,

1:36:39.080 --> 1:36:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a moral objection to it. I just

1:36:40.880 --> 1:36:43.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand. I don't well, I don't understand it is,

1:36:43.240 --> 1:36:46.800
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know the rules really, and also I

1:36:46.840 --> 1:36:48.640
<v Speaker 1>don't see how it's fun. But I don't you know,

1:36:48.640 --> 1:36:50.479
<v Speaker 1>if people like it, they like it. Although the slot

1:36:50.479 --> 1:36:52.639
<v Speaker 1>machine thing, I just don't get that at all. You're

1:36:52.680 --> 1:36:54.719
<v Speaker 1>just giving somebody your money to stare at a screen.

1:36:54.800 --> 1:36:57.360
<v Speaker 1>That's not that exciting. I'd rather play a video I'd

1:36:57.439 --> 1:37:00.240
<v Speaker 1>rather play video games for money, no question. And I

1:37:00.280 --> 1:37:03.240
<v Speaker 1>totally understand. I mean, I I got way too good

1:37:03.240 --> 1:37:05.800
<v Speaker 1>at FIFA on PlayStation for a while for my own good.

1:37:05.800 --> 1:37:10.439
<v Speaker 1>I was spending my life talking trash to you know,

1:37:10.600 --> 1:37:14.000
<v Speaker 1>kids in Germany and Japan and wherever, you know, playing

1:37:14.040 --> 1:37:17.640
<v Speaker 1>them online. And FIFA the soccer soccer video game, I

1:37:17.680 --> 1:37:21.559
<v Speaker 1>got quite good. I had skills ski lllz because that's

1:37:21.560 --> 1:37:24.120
<v Speaker 1>how the cool kids spell it, all right. So I

1:37:24.160 --> 1:37:25.439
<v Speaker 1>was in Vegas. There was a lot of fun, had

1:37:25.439 --> 1:37:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a great time. Glad to be back though, and we've

1:37:28.200 --> 1:37:30.840

<v Speaker 1>This one got me to write finally must been in

1:38:50.880 --> 1:38:54.280
<v Speaker 1>my vote. I love your bad singing, Yes you do,

1:38:54.920 --> 1:38:57.040
<v Speaker 1>especially when it makes you laugh. It always makes me laugh,

1:38:57.080 --> 1:39:01.840
<v Speaker 1>and these often contentious times a laugh is needed. Thanks

1:39:01.840 --> 1:39:03.600
<v Speaker 1>for continue to bring us the best research, news and

1:39:03.640 --> 1:39:07.959
<v Speaker 1>information with supreme intellect and fun impressions, bad singing, unintentional rhyming, accents,

1:39:07.960 --> 1:39:10.160
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. Love it all. Oh yes, and bring back

1:39:10.280 --> 1:39:13.040
<v Speaker 1>commy bear, God bless you. She'll tie Christ and well

1:39:13.080 --> 1:39:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Christ and thank you so much. Take my breath. Though

1:39:16.960 --> 1:39:19.479
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know, I know, I was about to

1:39:19.520 --> 1:39:21.439
<v Speaker 1>go there. I was about to go there, but I decided.

1:39:21.479 --> 1:39:25.559
<v Speaker 1>I think she said she enjoys laughing at you. Yeah, yeah, fine,

1:39:26.160 --> 1:39:30.240
<v Speaker 1>she's probably wouldn't take that as a compliment. Probably correct. Yeah.

1:39:30.920 --> 1:39:32.920
<v Speaker 1>But but if I sing enough, the singing will get better.

1:39:33.760 --> 1:39:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I try that in the shower, just not in front

1:39:35.880 --> 1:39:39.320
<v Speaker 1>of a microphone, please. Alright, alright, somebody wrote something in

1:39:39.400 --> 1:39:45.400
<v Speaker 1>here about Oh here we go, tim right. Chadwick Moore

1:39:45.479 --> 1:39:48.960
<v Speaker 1>was an excellent choice as guest host. His humor, sarcasm,

1:39:48.960 --> 1:39:51.679
<v Speaker 1>and insights regarding political power as a driving force behind

1:39:51.920 --> 1:39:56.160
<v Speaker 1>lgbt Q activism our confirmation of what I have observed

1:39:56.200 --> 1:40:00.880
<v Speaker 1>having my two children in major university campus environ. I

1:40:01.000 --> 1:40:03.760
<v Speaker 1>particularly enjoyed his conversation with Rick Grinnell, who seems to

1:40:03.760 --> 1:40:07.439
<v Speaker 1>be an outstanding representative for US values overseas. The initiative

1:40:07.439 --> 1:40:11.720
<v Speaker 1>to promote human rights for homosexuals globally, specifically among you

1:40:11.800 --> 1:40:14.200
<v Speaker 1>on members states with questionable human rights records is somehow

1:40:14.240 --> 1:40:18.640
<v Speaker 1>revolved by the Libs, which seems grossly antithetical to the

1:40:18.640 --> 1:40:22.559
<v Speaker 1>hard left virtue signaling and goes largely unreported in the

1:40:22.640 --> 1:40:26.680
<v Speaker 1>fever to disrespect anyone who breaks with intersectional political orthodoxy.

1:40:26.680 --> 1:40:29.439
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for having Moore and Grinnell in the Freedom Hunt.

1:40:29.520 --> 1:40:32.840
<v Speaker 1>These two guys are thought provoking, brave conservative, and seemed

1:40:32.840 --> 1:40:34.559
<v Speaker 1>like they'd be cool to chat with over a whisky

1:40:34.640 --> 1:40:38.639
<v Speaker 1>or two shields high. Tim oh Man, thank you so much.

1:40:38.720 --> 1:40:42.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm glad that you uh, I'm glad that you

1:40:42.360 --> 1:40:48.759
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed the guest hosting, so thank you. Good to go.

1:40:50.760 --> 1:40:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Let's here, I've got I've got to switch to so

1:40:52.479 --> 1:40:55.360
<v Speaker 1>we get the unread filter. So otherwise I'm going through

1:40:55.400 --> 1:40:59.200
<v Speaker 1>things we've already done here on the show. Albert rides

1:40:59.240 --> 1:41:01.519
<v Speaker 1>buck love the show. Been trying to get my right

1:41:01.520 --> 1:41:05.280
<v Speaker 1>wing best friend to listen to you, but he's a jackass. Okay,

1:41:05.760 --> 1:41:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I'd tune in on a regular basis. Let's talk about forgiveness.

1:41:08.840 --> 1:41:10.960
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned the other day about the forgiveness of the

1:41:11.000 --> 1:41:13.000
<v Speaker 1>brother the victim the woman cop who she shot in

1:41:13.040 --> 1:41:15.880
<v Speaker 1>his own home when she entered the wrong apartment. Although

1:41:15.920 --> 1:41:18.280
<v Speaker 1>this person gave her the forgiveness she maybe or maybe

1:41:18.320 --> 1:41:21.559
<v Speaker 1>not have deserved. My point is, when it comes to forgiveness,

1:41:21.560 --> 1:41:24.000
<v Speaker 1>we all need to look at Reginald Denny. There was

1:41:24.040 --> 1:41:26.840
<v Speaker 1>no greater forgiveness than his. I really think we should

1:41:26.840 --> 1:41:29.400
<v Speaker 1>honor him as a great human being. You have a

1:41:29.400 --> 1:41:32.000
<v Speaker 1>good audience, but I fear your listeners don't know the

1:41:32.080 --> 1:41:34.479
<v Speaker 1>story of Reginald Denny. Please gave them the story. His

1:41:34.640 --> 1:41:40.280
<v Speaker 1>is truly of forgiveness. Albert In Austin, Albert. If memory serves,

1:41:40.840 --> 1:41:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Reginald Denny was a truck driver who during the LA

1:41:45.640 --> 1:41:48.800
<v Speaker 1>riots after the Rodney King verdict, was pulled out of

1:41:48.800 --> 1:41:53.599
<v Speaker 1>his vehicle and viciously assaulted. I think he had brain

1:41:53.680 --> 1:41:57.400
<v Speaker 1>damage from it. And he came out and he later

1:41:57.479 --> 1:42:00.320
<v Speaker 1>said Mark was he can't didn't he say, can't we

1:42:00.320 --> 1:42:04.280
<v Speaker 1>all get along? I believe Oh yeah, Mark. Sorry, Mark

1:42:04.400 --> 1:42:08.040
<v Speaker 1>is legitimately too young to remember that. But yeah, Reginald

1:42:08.120 --> 1:42:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Denny did forgive his attackers, and I'll have to look

1:42:11.840 --> 1:42:16.040
<v Speaker 1>more into that story. I don't know more about more

1:42:16.080 --> 1:42:20.479
<v Speaker 1>about that one, Benjamin Buck. Sorry, I'm a little late

1:42:20.479 --> 1:42:21.439
<v Speaker 1>on this one, but I want to weigh in the

1:42:21.479 --> 1:42:24.640
<v Speaker 1>question of whether to take callers on your show. I

1:42:24.680 --> 1:42:27.320
<v Speaker 1>have loved your show since the early Saturdays. I download

1:42:27.320 --> 1:42:29.960
<v Speaker 1>your podcast every day because, like you, hear inside an analysis.

1:42:30.320 --> 1:42:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I also appreciate the quality of your informed and intelligent guests. However,

1:42:34.320 --> 1:42:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I do not want to listen to people mumble nonsense

1:42:38.400 --> 1:42:41.400
<v Speaker 1>about how the income tax is unconstitutional or how you

1:42:41.439 --> 1:42:43.000
<v Speaker 1>may or may not remember me but I met you

1:42:43.040 --> 1:42:46.000
<v Speaker 1>that one time on the street outside of a restaurant somewhere. Buck.

1:42:46.080 --> 1:42:51.799
<v Speaker 1>Please do not take callers on your show. Sincerely, longtime listener,

1:42:51.840 --> 1:42:54.640
<v Speaker 1>first time caller Ben See Mark. I always say this.

1:42:54.680 --> 1:42:58.040
<v Speaker 1>The non caller crowd is very they're very vocal about this.

1:42:58.080 --> 1:43:01.080
<v Speaker 1>They do not The anti callers are like, don't you

1:43:01.160 --> 1:43:04.400
<v Speaker 1>dare take callers on the show. I agree with him, Yeah,

1:43:04.439 --> 1:43:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I like the role call. Everyone likes the role call.

1:43:07.160 --> 1:43:09.120
<v Speaker 1>We get to it. Man, your voice will be heard

1:43:09.160 --> 1:43:11.400
<v Speaker 1>here on the show. Unless you're crazy, then we just

1:43:11.439 --> 1:43:13.519
<v Speaker 1>won't read it. Yeah, that's true. Then sometimes you do

1:43:13.560 --> 1:43:15.479
<v Speaker 1>have to skip. We do get the crazy people are always.

1:43:16.600 --> 1:43:19.120
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing to me how some folks are just so nuts,

1:43:20.000 --> 1:43:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Tim Buck, I'm curious, how is that guy who has

1:43:22.960 --> 1:43:25.760
<v Speaker 1>now signed on the Green New Deal crowd, or rather,

1:43:25.880 --> 1:43:28.200
<v Speaker 1>how is it that a guy who has signed on

1:43:28.280 --> 1:43:30.320
<v Speaker 1>the Green New Deal crowd? How can you have a

1:43:30.320 --> 1:43:32.920
<v Speaker 1>sum with a fifty thousand dollars per month no show

1:43:33.040 --> 1:43:35.920
<v Speaker 1>job as the director of a fossil fuel natural gas company.

1:43:37.160 --> 1:43:40.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm shocked that a fellow Democrats haven't gone after Joe

1:43:40.840 --> 1:43:43.920
<v Speaker 1>over this hypocrisy. Yeah right, Maybe they think Hunter Biden,

1:43:43.920 --> 1:43:46.439
<v Speaker 1>who doesn't speak Ukrainian and has no background of the

1:43:46.479 --> 1:43:50.120
<v Speaker 1>natural gas energy industries, in fact a genius who figured

1:43:50.160 --> 1:43:55.679
<v Speaker 1>out how to profitably reclaim cow farts for electric generation. Otherwise,

1:43:55.720 --> 1:43:58.639
<v Speaker 1>forget the appearance of corruption, how can he be possibly

1:43:58.640 --> 1:44:01.000
<v Speaker 1>be a highly compsiated director market segment? That is, father

1:44:01.080 --> 1:44:05.240
<v Speaker 1>vows to shut down Shield's Hi, Tim, well, Tim, you

1:44:05.240 --> 1:44:07.679

1:44:07.760 --> 1:44:10.080
<v Speaker 1>on the air on Monday, so get excited about that.

1:44:10.080 --> 1:44:12.000
<v Speaker 1>We are on the air Monday, and we will be

1:44:12.040 --> 1:44:15.920
<v Speaker 1>on Pluto TV Tuesday. Do we know the channel yet

1:44:22.920 --> 1:44:25.000

<v Speaker 1>is that this new initiative with the earlier podcast time,

1:44:35.120 --> 1:44:39.280
