1
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom Hunt. This this is the

2
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to

3
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, American,

4
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: You're a great American. Again the Buck Sexton Show begins.

5
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: Remember no, Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. This is

6
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: Harland Hill filling in for Buck. One of the nicest

7
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: people I know, by the way, and I want to

8
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: thank him for trusting me with his microphone tonight. He's

9
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: a great guy. Got to know him over the last

10
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 1: few months because we moved to DC around the same

11
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: time from New York. And on this Friday, the twenty

12
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: eighth of December twenty eighteen, we have a lot of

13
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: ground to cover, lots of news is coming in at

14
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: the end of the year, and we have a lot

15
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: of forecasting to do as we go into twenty nineteen.

16
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: I have a great show planned over the next three

17
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: hours that includes some just phenomenal guests. You're going to

18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: hear from the Daily Callers, Stephanie Hamill, doctor Sebastian Gorka,

19
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: Diamond and Silk, Judicial Watches, Thomfin and Moore. But I

20
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: want to start with illegal immigration. I'm sick of hearing

21
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: about this issue. I'm sick of hearing the excuses. I'm

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: sick of kicking the can down the road. I'm sick

23
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: of the inaction. Men and women Americans are literally dying

24
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: on the streets at the hands of illegal immigrants. Drugs

25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: and unspeakable crimes are committed with regularity. We're almost desensitized

26
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: to it at this point in our country. And these

27
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: crimes should never happen because these people shouldn't be here

28
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: in the first place. We have police officers, and in

29
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: this case that we're going to discuss today, this police

30
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: officer was a legal immigrant to the United States, murdered

31
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: at the hands of a monster. And where are the Democrats?

32
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: Where are the Republicans? Where have they been? Over the

33
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: last two years, every Republican and Congress was sent to

34
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: Washington with an electoral mandate to stop this problem. Arguably,

35
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: this is the most significant tenant of the twenty sixteen

36
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: Trump Revolution, stopping illegal immigration. And despite the President's best efforts,

37
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: we're not making any progress on this because of Congress.

38
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: They had two years to do anything, to do anything,

39
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: but we have obstructionists and the establishments of both parties

40
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: Democrat and Republican who have blood on their hands. They

41
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: could stop this. We could stop this today, between border security,

42
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: building the wall, mandatory Verify, and deporting people people that

43
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: commit crimes. We have people that habitually commit crimes and

44
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: break the laws in this country and are here illegally,

45
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: and we know about them, and they're released into the

46
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: general population, and it breaks my heart. I mean a

47
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: wife and this hero's child he won't ever see his

48
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: dad again because of bad public policy. It's plain and simple.

49
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: Washington could stop this. We could stop this. Well. You know,

50
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: last night I was watching Fox News and I heard

51
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: a clip of the police chief who hired Ron Singh,

52
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: the police officer that was murdered, and the chief was inconsolable.

53
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: He just broke down. Let's play that club. You have

54
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: to understand, this was not supposed to happen here. I've

55
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: been I've been to too many of these funerals and

56
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: I never thought, however, that I would have to be

57
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: doing this. I do not want to be here today.

58
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: I would give anything not to I did not know

59
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: Christmas morning, at four o'clock in the morning, when I

60
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: said goodbye to him and send him off to his family,

61
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: that it would be the last time that I saw it. Yes,

62
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: he was a police officer, but more importantly, he was

63
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: a human being, and that's how he would want to

64
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: be remembered. He was proud to wear the uniform and

65
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: he does want to be remembered as a police officer.

66
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: But don't forget the other things, the little things that

67
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: are oftentimes forgotten in these stories. That his five month

68
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: old he will never here talk, he will never see

69
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: his son walk, He doesn't get to hold that little boy,

70
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 1: hug his wife, say good night anymore because a coward

71
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: took his life. Please help us find this man and

72
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: bring him to justice. I hope he's watching today and

73
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: he does the right thing and turns himself in. We

74
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: need closure, His family needs closure. Joining me out of

75
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: discuss is Fox New Star, Daily Caller, video columnists and

76
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: honestly one of my best friends in the world, Stephanie Hamill.

77
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: Stephanie First, thank you, Harlan introduction. Stephanie, First, let me

78
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: ask you to react to that clip. I mean, it's

79
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: just heartbreaking, heartbreaking. I don't even have words to describe

80
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: what I saw. And we all feel for him. We

81
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: all have families and the idea that He's a father

82
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: of a five month old son. He's leaving behind a

83
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: wife who loved him. This happened on Christmas night. He

84
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: was working over time because he wants to provide for

85
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: his family and do the best. And the way that

86
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: his colleagues described him, I mean, he was an exceptional person.

87
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: He was a hard worker. And what they touched on

88
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: was the fact that he was a legal immigrant from Fiji.

89
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: He did everything the right way. He came to this

90
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: country to seek the American dream. He had it and

91
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: it was all taken away in just one night by

92
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: an illegal immigrant. That's the suspect, and they did catch him.

93
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: There was a man hunt. They found him today, Gustavo

94
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: Perez Ariaga. He's the man who's accused of shooting Ronel Singh.

95
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: And they found him at a brother's house allegedly, and

96
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: his brother's an illegal immigrant, and also one of his

97
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: co workers another illegal immigrant. And you have to wonder today,

98
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,559
Speaker 1: I mean, you touched on this. The Democrats have blood

99
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: on their hands. There are laws that are making it

100
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: easy for criminals to live freely, to walk the streets

101
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: of some of the states in our country. California is

102
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: a sanctuary city, and this is what some of colleagues

103
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: were talking about. The sheriff of that county was discussing

104
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: this and he wasn't holding back. And a lot of

105
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: these police officers and sariffs are afraid to speak their minds.

106
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: They're afraid of retaliation. But he didn't hold back. This

107
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: was this cross the line. This is not something that

108
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: they were used to sing in their county or in Newman, California,

109
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: but it happened, and so they have to address the issue.

110
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: And there's so many things. You know, people are saying,

111
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: built the wall today. Build the wall, you know, building

112
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: the walls one step, but there are so many other

113
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: things that we need to fix. It's not just a wall,

114
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: it's I mean, that's part of it. We need to

115
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,679
Speaker 1: do everything that we can to en four our nation spots.

116
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: And we are blowing out the red carpet inviting people

117
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: to this country. And you know, whether it's through a

118
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: vista that they overstay, or the fact that we have

119
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: employers that are employing the legal in our friends, what

120
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: about you verify all of these other things. We don't

121
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: know how Stavo perez Ariaga, as a suspect, made it

122
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: into this country could have been any of the above.

123
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: We're not sure a WAA would have prevented him from

124
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: coming into this country, but these are all issues and

125
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: things that need to be discussed, absolutely. And one of

126
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: the most troubling takeaways add from this is that as

127
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: soon as the story broke, actor Chris Pratt took to

128
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: Twitter and he was asking for people to be on

129
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: the lookout for this suspect, and he got just lambasted

130
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: by liberals and you know, calling him out, saying well,

131
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: why don't you call out you know, victims of you know,

132
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 1: police brutality. Why are you focusing on just this? What

133
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: does it say about this country that we have this

134
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: kneed youre reaction from a sizeable portion of the country

135
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: that just asking for help to identify someone that was

136
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: innocently murdered the suspect of someone that murdered an innocent

137
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: person is controversial? What does that say about the country? Yeah,

138
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: it isn't controversial. And notice the silence from the liberal

139
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: media on this issue. Normally, you know, they have kind

140
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: of like a protocol, especially if there's a gun involved,

141
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: they would be calling for gun control today, but instead

142
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: they're actually not even really wanting to talk about this story.

143
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: And then they do talk about it, they say that

144
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: the Republicans or people that are for border security and

145
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: for enforcing our immigration laws, that they're demonizing all immigrants,

146
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: not just the legal immigrants in general, because they like

147
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: to put everyone in the same category. And that's not fair.

148
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: And yeah, we don't want to demonize all immigrants, or

149
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: even illegal immigrants for that matter. But the fact is

150
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: that we already have enough problems in our country. We

151
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: don't need to be inviting criminals making it easier for

152
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: them in this country. Yeah, and sanctuary city laws really

153
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: don't protect a legal immigrants. They protect criminals and makes

154
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: it difficult for police officers to do their jobs to

155
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: share information with eyes when it comes to the detainers.

156
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really astounding that lawmakers will continue to

157
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: push to make things easier for criminals to operate in

158
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: this country. Oh yeah, well, and so let me ask you.

159
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you used to live in California. California, you know,

160
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: has quickly become a sanctuary state. I mean, they're just

161
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: totally flouting federal law on illegal immigration. Is this going

162
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: to become more common? Um? I hope not. I mean

163
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: I hope people learn about it. Are people are people

164
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: in California? I mean, is is public opinion with the

165
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: idea of sanctuary cities and sanctuary states. Well, the public

166
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: opinion on it is I think it's confusing on what

167
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: it really with the law really states. So people when

168
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: they think of sanctuary they're they're, you know, hoping that

169
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: and law enforcement is investing into church in school and

170
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: you know, carrying families the party and then doing like

171
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: mass deportations. Yeah, but that's what their idea of a sanctuary.

172
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: They don't realize that it's actually just paperwork and it

173
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: really affects police officers communicating with ice, right, and if

174
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: they knew that, which they don't, because the liberal media

175
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: won't talk about it, and people don't have time to

176
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: look up laws and look through all the texts and everything,

177
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,599
Speaker 1: and people just out busy lives, so they want to

178
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: go with what feels good. So they just don't really

179
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: know a lot about it, and it's a public opinion

180
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: on it wasn't strong. Like I don't think a lot

181
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: of people work for sanctuary city. Did you ask any

182
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: legal immigrants who went to the process. They don't like

183
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: it well, and so let's let's shift gears here and

184
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: let's move to Washington. Are we going to get anything

185
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: done on this? I mean, we have this shutdown right now.

186
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: If you had to get a crystal ball out, do

187
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: you think that the Democrats are going to come to

188
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: the table with the President and provide some material funding

189
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: to secure the border? I hope. So. I mean Democrats

190
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: aren't willing to negotiate. They never do. It seems like

191
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: Republicans always cave and we always, you know, no matter

192
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: who has the majority, it seems like they're always doing

193
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: what the Democrats want. I mean, they're asking for a

194
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: very simple request, but five dollion dollars for the wall.

195
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: It's not very much, and that's not even what we need.

196
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we need a lot more money to build

197
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: a full wall. So I think that's the Democrats. They're

198
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: just not serious when it comes to fixing our immigration problems.

199
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: They talk about comprehensive immigration reform. Comprehensive like what does

200
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: that even mean? And even the Republicans are guilty of

201
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: this as well. I mean, no one is giving answers,

202
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: no one really had solutions, And you know, my theory

203
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: is a lot of people just don't really want to

204
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: tackle the issue. A lot of their donors on both

205
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: sides a businesses and they want to employee legal immigrants

206
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: that they don't you know, they don't want these people

207
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: quote out of the shadows like they benefit from that.

208
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: So until we actually have we verify and a real system,

209
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: like I mean, comprehensive immigration reform really is. It's that complicated.

210
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying I'm calling for a mass deportation.

211
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm not even against the amnesty. I'm just against this.

212
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: What we're having right now is these caravans, thousands of

213
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: people come fromming the border. We have some anywhere between

214
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: eleven million and thirty million people quote living in the shadows.

215
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: Why don't we deal with that first? Why don't we

216
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: tackle that first, and then you know, then we can

217
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: go through the process. But the United States is the

218
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: most generous when it comes to green cards in the world,

219
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: and so I don't at some point we have to

220
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: stop just letting whoever end whenever they want to come here.

221
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: And also we need to know who's coming here. That

222
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: this man he shot the police officer officers thing, he

223
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: had a criminal record, He had two DUIs YEP and

224
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: so you know, democrats care about DUIs unless, of course

225
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: it's a legal immigrants. Who are the ones that are

226
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: the US? Isn't that ironic? Yeah? Of course. Well my

227
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: last question here is do you think the President made

228
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: the right call to shut down the government and to

229
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 1: choose this moment in time to fight the Democrats? Oh? Absolutely.

230
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: I was surprised that he had changed his mind at

231
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: the last minute to begin with, because he said he

232
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: was for the shutdown and then he wasn't. So I mean,

233
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: he needs to be forceful, he needs to be strong,

234
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: and whatever he promises, he needs to stick to that.

235
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: And he's promises to the American people aboard a wall.

236
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: We want it not just the wall, but we also

237
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: want you know, other measures to enforce our our nation

238
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: laws and when it comes to immigration. So you know,

239
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: I think he wrote Oliver, President compa is so far

240
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: has delivered on much more than anyone excepted and you know,

241
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: promise has made promises cut absolutely. All right, Stephanie, thanks

Speaker 1: why in the world would anyone act this way. My

253
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,120

Speaker 1: likes a little con lache in my coffee. But guess what,

257
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: I drink it black because it's black Rifle for one.

Speaker 1: that are meeting me for the first time. I'm a

274
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: frequent guest of Red Fox News, and I'm a Republican

275
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: political consultant that only takes Trump Aline candidates, and I'm

276
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: on board member of President Donald A. Trump's twenty twenty

277
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: reelection campaign. So you will be hard pressed to find

278
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: somebody more loyal to the present than may. We have

279
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: a caller here. Our first caller is Rita from Illinois. Rita,

280
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: how you doing? Are you there? I'm here? Go ahead,

281
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: all right? Yes, um, I think we need a new

282
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: National Party to get rid of these Democrats. You come

283
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: to Illinois. They have held Illinois hostage for years, and

284
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: the whole time they've been robbing us to death. These

285
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: people in Illinois can't get out of this state fast enough.

286
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: It's so bad here anymore. And I think we need

287
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: to get rid of the whole National Party and get

288
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: a new one in you know, readA. I agree, you know, honestly,

289
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: I think the establishment of both political parties are the

290
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: problem with this country. It's not just unique to the Democrats.

291
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: I mean the Democrats. The whole party's riding and they're

292
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: gonna have a massive civil war in twenty twenty as

293
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: thirty or more candidates by for the nomination. It's gonna

294
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: be a slugfest. It's gonna be nasty, and that will

295
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: just work to continue to divide the party in a

296
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: way that I don't think they're gonna be able to

297
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: recover from. But to be fair, we have a civil

298
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: war within the Republican Party that the president has basically won.

299
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: But there are some dormant Republicans that are just sitting

300
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: this out. They think that they can run the clock

301
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: out on President Donald Trump. There's no question that's their strategy.

302
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: They think that, you know, if the Democrats get lucky,

303
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: they can they can beat him in twenty twenty, and

304
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: the old guard of the Republican Party that sold out

305
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: the American middle class, that allowed endless illegal immigration will continue,

306
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: will make a comeback and say, look, we told you so.

307
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: So it's not just the Democrats, it's the Republican Party.

308
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: We got to have a fundamental change in this country

309
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: that's focused on putting America first. Who cares what you know,

310
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: rich you used to be, whether you're a registered Democrat

311
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: or a registered Republican. I'm a former Democrat myself. I'm

312
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: a Republican now, you know. But the country has changed.

313
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: The House was on fire. The only guy that stood

314
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: to put out the fire and turned this country around

315
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: was President Trump. And he's working against obstructionists in both

316
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: parties that will only be satisfied when he's not in

317
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: the White House anymore. Well, they've become anti American, They've

318
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: become anti everything against America and their laws. On top

319
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: of all this, plus they're putting the blame on the

320
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: young people up today. The young people up today were

321
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: the ones who had books taken away, were institutional lives

322
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: from crib to classroom, all their lives propaganda and lied

323
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: to through school and they are so uneducated they can

324
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: do nothing for themselves. God, you're so right. I mean,

325
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: this is the fundamental problem in this country. You know,

326
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: the education system has just totally fallen apart. We got

327
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: to wake up and start focusing on this so that

328
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: we stay competitive on the global stage. And this is

329
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: the challenge that we face in the twenty first century. Anyway,

330
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: we want to hear from the rest of you guys.

331
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: We had great, great guests coming up. So the phone

332
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: lines are open. Call us at eight four four nine

333
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: twenty eight twenty five. Again, this is the Buck Sexton Show,

334
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back after this commercial break. Welcome back.

335
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show. I'm Harlan Hill

336
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: filling in for Buck. The phone lines are open, so

337
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: give us a call at eight four four nine twenty

338
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: eight twenty five. That's eight four to four nine hundred Buck.

339
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 1: Trump's arrangement syndrome has just swept the Democratic Party. Perhaps

340
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: the institution's most affected by this. The mainstream media that

341
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: really came into view this week as news outlets, you know,

342
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: prematurely criticize the president for not visiting troops in Iraq,

343
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: only to have to immediately retract their stories when they

344
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: found out that he was in fact. Are you there?

345
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: Before we get to our next guest, doctor Sebastian Gorka,

346
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: Let's listen to some of President Trump's remarks the troops,

347
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: because while they're talking about him just signing Maga hats,

348
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: I want you to listen to how this huge crowd

349
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: of soldiers reacted to the President's speech. And here's a hint,

350
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: they love him well. First of all, at ease, Attias,

351
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: Let's have a good time. Let's have a good time.

352
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: The other reason I'm here today is to personally thank

353
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: you and every service member throughout this region for the

354
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: near elimination of the ISIS territorial Caliphate in Iraq and

355
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 1: in Syria. Two years ago. When I became president, they

356
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: were a very dominant group. They were very dominant. Today

357
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: they're not so dominant anymore. America shouldn't be doing the

358
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: fighting for every nation on Earth, not being reimbursed in

359
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: many cases at all. If they want us to do

360
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: the fighting, they also have to pay a price, and

361
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: sometimes that's also a monetary price. So we're not the

362
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: suckers of the world. We're no longer the suckers, folks,

363
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: and people aren't looking at us as suckers. And I

364
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: love you folks because most of you are nodding your

365
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: head this one. We're respected again. As a nation. We're

366
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: respected again. Some people say, well, maybe somebody comes from

367
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: the area and they hit us on our homeland. If

368
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: that happens, they will suffer consequences over here like nobody

369
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: has ever suffered before. Let me just tell you, and

370
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: I hope they hear that loud and clear, and that's

371
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,239
Speaker 1: not a threat. That's going to be a fact. If

372
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: anything should happen at all, nobody will ever have suffered

373
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: the consequences that they will suffer. Just remember I said it.

374
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: Joining me now is doctor Sebastian Gorka, a former deputy

375
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: assistant to President Donald J. Trump and current Fox News

376
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: national security strategist. Doctor Warka, thanks for joining me, absolutely,

377
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: thank you for having me. Merry Christmas, going a happy

378
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: New Year, Happy new year. Were you surprised by the

379
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: media's latest fake news attack against President Trump on this

380
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: Iraq visit? I mean it was they were hyper ventilating.

381
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: You know, first they were proven wrong that you know,

382
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: the President ended up going to Iraq when they were

383
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: reporting that he wasn't going to go and and then

384
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: as soon as that passed and they were proven wrong,

385
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: they started focusing on this maga hat nonsense. Are you

386
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: surprised this? Are you just like immune to it? Now?

387
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: You know, I thought I would be immune given my

388
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: time in the White House of what I've seen in

389
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: the last two years, the media never ever learning from

390
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: their mistakes and doubling down on the news. But I

391
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: was horrifying, Harland. It was absolutely disgusting what they did.

392
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: It was a disgrace the idea. Look look, look at

393
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: the videos, Look at the photographs that Sarah Hukabi Sanders posted.

394
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: Look at the faces about servicemen and women. Look at

395
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: the joy they are on Christmas Day. Their commander in

396
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: chief with the first Lady comes to a war zone

397
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: to be with them, The smiles, a spontaneous chance of

398
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: USA USA. And how does CNN, how does MSNBC react?

399
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: They want to get our war fighters into legal jeopardy.

400
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 1: It's an absolute outrage. The men and women who wear

401
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: the cloth of the Republic, who go into harm's way

402
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: for us, and they want to quote some bogus legal

403
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: jeopardy with regards Todd regulations. I worked for the DoD

404
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: for five years. I'm familiar with the hat track. I've

405
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: read the regulations on what uniform service and women Cannell

406
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: Cannel do. The only thing that is prescribed is the

407
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: active involvement in uniform during political campaigns. Not getting your

408
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: hat signed by your commander in chief, Harland. It was

409
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: an utter disgrace. They're politicizing this, I mean a real way,

410
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: and the President went out of his way to make

411
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: this about the soldiers in the media. We're so transparent

412
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: because they were willing to jump from one story to another.

413
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: It's just clear that the President could not have done

414
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: anything right right. First they were mad that he didn't go,

415
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: and then they're mad that he showed the soldiers too

416
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: much respect. I mean, I'm flabbergasted, and I think that

417
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: the American people have to start seeing through this. I mean,

418
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: it's so transparent what they're doing, it's obvious. It really

419
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: it should make you realize just who these people are.

420
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: They if you love this country, they It's really really

421
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: that simple. If you look at that moment, that incredible

422
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: moment I think it was where an am And said

423
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: to the President that he re upped he stayed in

424
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: the military, he re enlisted because of who the new

425
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: commander in chief is. And how did he respond? He

426
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: said them and said, I'm here, I'm here in uniform

427
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: again because of you, mister President. And the President responded,

428
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: I'm here in Iraq in this war zone because of you.

429
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: They can't relate to that. They can't relate the self hatred,

430
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: the idea we had eight years under Obama. That's that's

431
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: the reason my new book has the subtitle it does.

432
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: My new book is why We Fight Defeating America's Enemies

433
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 1: with No Apologies. And I'm really grateful my publisher came

434
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: up with that subheading why because we had eight years

435
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: of apologizing for who we are, with the commander in

436
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: chief who didn't back up our military, who said we

437
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: of the problem. Now and these people know it, these

438
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: men and women know it. We have a commander in

439
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: chief who has the bank. Can you imagine the feeding houn,

440
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: Can you imagine off the a years to finally have

441
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: a commander in chief who trusts you and wants you

442
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: to do your job. I'm sure it's an enormous relief

443
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: for them, you know, I mean, after eight years of

444
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: a president that not only didn't respect the military, he

445
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: actively worked to undermine our military, starving it of the

446
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: resources that it needed to stay competitive in an increasingly

447
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: dangerous world. Barack Obama undermined our national security and it

448
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: took a president like President Donald J. Trump to finally

449
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: reinvest in it, not just financially, but in terms of

450
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: our confidence, to provide absolute confidence in our leaders to

451
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: do what's necessary to win these complex So hats off. Yeah,

452
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: I tell a story that tells you everything you need

453
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: to know and why we fight. By the second year

454
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: of the administration, we had a group of about eighteen

455
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: future Green Berets visit the National Security Council, and I thought, hey,

456
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: it'd be really cool. In addition to their briefings at

457
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: the NSC, Why why don't we get them in front

458
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: of their new commander in chief. How cool would that be?

459
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: The Front Office immediately signed off. On the day they arrived,

460
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: after their briefings on the NSC, I took them into

461
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: meet the President. The president in addition to meeting with

462
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: them taking the time to get to know them, he

463
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: took them into the Oval Office with no press there.

464
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: This is not a press moment. He said, I want you,

465
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: each of you to stand next to me, one by one,

466
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,239
Speaker 1: next to the resolute decks. Now, we're going to take

467
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: a photograph for you and your family. Can't publish it

468
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: because you're going to be special operators, but you're going

469
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: to have a photograph in the Oval office with the

470
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: Commander in Chief to share with your family, to share

471
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: with your units. That's who this man is. He's proud

472
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: of our Jadair Christian heritage, is proud of what America

473
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: stands for. And as a certain former president from Illinois

474
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 1: once said, elections have consequences, they do they ever? Well,

475
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: the President in that speech, Um and a rock said,

476
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, we're no longer the suckers of the world. Yeah.

477
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: And this coincides with his decision to withdraw resource or

478
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: proops from Syria and to um, you know, pull back

479
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. You know, you have enormous connections in the

480
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: military all the way to the top. You're the pre

481
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: eminent national security strategist in the country. Um, you know,

482
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: what are you hearing from people in terms of morale

483
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: at the Pentagon and within the wider military. I can

484
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: tell you just another story from the White House. The

485
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: same day we took those future Green Berets and to

486
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: see the President. I gave a brief on ISIS to

487
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: the YEA to the soldiers, and afterwards there was somebody

488
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: on the comment to the NFC who's from Jay Suck.

489
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: So that's the tip of the best of the best.

490
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: That's the special operations for going covertly to do what

491
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: needs to be done. And he was in civilian clothes.

492
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: He was etiquet of briefing himself and he recognized me

493
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: for the TV. I didn't know who he was, and

494
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: he came up to me after he said privately, Dr Golga,

495
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm stuck here at the NFC. My buddies are in theater.

496
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: They're killing bad guys in the Middle East. I just

497
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: want you to know so the president knows that since

498
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: he came on board, our morale has sky rocketed. And

499
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: you know, that's what you want to hear. After eight

500
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: years of saying we are the problem, that America is

501
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: responsible for the ills of the world. To have a

502
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: man who not only trusts the military but unleashes them

503
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: to do the job they were meant to do. Recall,

504
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: ISIS was described by Obama as a generational threat. We

505
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,719
Speaker 1: just have to live with that changed at twelve oh

506
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: one on January the twenty January the twentieth, twenty seventeen,

507
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: we unleashed our military and within five months, the Isis

508
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: Caliphate no longer existed. That's what leadership can get you.

509
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: What taking a shifting gears here a little bit and

510
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: coming back to domestic politics, what do you think the

511
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: outcome will be of this government shutdown? Is the president

512
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: is going to get the wall. Look, the President just

513
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: tweeted out that he's prepared to close down the border

514
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,239
Speaker 1: if he doesn't get funding for a war that, by

515
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: the way, the Democrats say they would fund. I mean

516
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: in previous years for Donald Trump became president, they actually

517
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: said that we need a war and they're going to

518
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: fund it now because he's the president, because he's serious,

519
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: and because they want to lock in their new plantation dwellers.

520
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: They want to have illegal aliens right across the border

521
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: become Democrat voters. They are going back on their promise

522
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: I want to make I want to give a clear

523
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: message to your listeners. The president knows that he came

524
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 1: president because his first substantive policy platform was immigration reform

525
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: and building the wall. He will never back down for

526
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: the next two years. The Democrats have the House, they

527
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: have appropriations, so they're going to put a stranglehold on

528
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: significant funding. But the presidents going to continue to do

529
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: to do what he's done already, which is to reprogram

530
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: the fundible assets in the DoD budget to build the wall,

531
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: because the wall is a national security imperative and he

532
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: has every right to do so. Well, let's take you

533
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: brought up a great point there with Democrats. Back in

534
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, all fifty four Democrats in the Senate voted

535
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: to pass the Border Security Economic Opportunity in Immigration Modernization Act,

536
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: and in this was forty six billion dollars for border

537
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: security improvements that added seven hundred miles of border fencing.

538
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: Every single Democrat in the Senate voted for it. Chuck Schumer,

539
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: Dian Fine stan Stein, Dick Durban, Harry Reid. I mean,

540
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: and so the notion that the Democratic Party has not

541
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: materially changed on the issue of immigration in just the

542
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: last few years is totally debunked by that fact. They

543
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: used to be on our side here and something has changed.

544
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: And now you're a racist for merely suggesting that we

545
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: should secure our border. And be a nation of laws.

546
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: It's so dishonest to the American voter. Well, not only

547
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: is it dishonest, it's disrespectful to the memories and the

548
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: sacrifices made by those that defend us. I mean, look

549
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: at Corporal Sing. Corporal Sing who goes to work Christmas,

550
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: is his five month old son and his beautiful wife

551
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: at home, goes to work, stops an illegal alien who's

552
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: already already been charged multiple times with d uy and

553
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: he gets murdered. He gets killed. Corporal Sing, a legal

554
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: immigrant to the United States, who loved to be a

555
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: peace officer in America, and he's gunned down by legal alien.

556
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: What does Chuck Schumer, what does Nancy Plosi, What does

557
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: mister Katchin release the former president Barack Obama have to

558
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: say to that man's widow, to his five month old son,

559
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: to the family of Kate Steinitz, You're right. They always

560
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: do what for them is most politically expedient. It's the

561
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: same with gay marriage. It doesn't matter what topic you pick.

562
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: They will go with the flow as long as it

563
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: means power for them. If it means a one eighty,

564
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: if it means a retraction, if it means thinking that

565
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: the rest of America is stupid and doesn't remember what

566
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: the Democrats promised to us. The sad fact today is

567
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: that a Democrat who is strong on national security, like

568
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: John F. Kennedy was, would not be allowed into the

569
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: Democrat Party. That's how badly the radicals have taken over

570
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: the DNC. Well, doctor Gorka, I just want to thank

571

Speaker 1: you that are just meaning me. Like I said earlier,

597
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 1: I'm a frequent guest over at Fox and I work

598
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: at the President's reelection campaign. We have got some great

599
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: guess coming up. Our next one in the next segment

600
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: are going to be Diamond and Silk. I mean they

601
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: don't need any introduction. I mean, these two women are

602
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: absolute firebrands. They took the Internet by storm in twenty sixteen.

603
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: They're doing amazing work. They produced a great documentary that

604
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: I just saw recently, and you know what, they even

605
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 1: have a brand new show they just launched on Fox

606
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: Nation and you should definitely check it out. They're hilarious

607
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: and they become, you know, really good friends of mine.

608
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: So I think we'll have a great conversation here in

609
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: just a minute. And you know, the President absolutely adores them.

610
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: He I know this firsthand. You know he every every

611
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: opportunity when we're in the same space. He loves them.

612
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,719

Speaker 1: their viral YouTube video supporting President Trump. And I could

641
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: tell you I just saw them last week at the

642
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: White House and they're as popular as ever. I mean,

643
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: yeah there, and the President loves them. He even gave

644
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: him a shout out there So that was that was

645
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: really something. So I want to welcome to the program

646
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: the one and only Diamond and Silk, hosts of the

647

Speaker 1: new Fox Nations show, appropriately named Diamond and Silk. Awre

648
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: y'all doing, I would, I hope you do a well.

649
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: Oh it's great to be with you guys. Now I

650
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: got to ask, I got to ask, what do y'all

651
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: think if this government shutdown? Look, the Democrats cost it

652
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: because the democratslicit the House, the Senate. They are the

653
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: ones responsible for funding our government and funding government projects,

654
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: and when it comes to our national security, the border

655
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: will have to be funded. They decided to go home,

656
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: go to Hawaii, go to their destinations, and have funds

657
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: over the holiday. And so to stand there huckling it

658
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: down and and and coming to the table with an

659
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 1: agreement that we're going to fund the border wall. So

660
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: if as or bust about it, and I don't think

661
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: these people understand that. Oh yeah, I mean, so who's

662
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: to blame for this? I mean, as far as I

663
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 1: can see, it's the Democrats because the President's not asking

664
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: for much. I mean, just a few years ago, they voted,

665
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: they voted, Democrats voted for tens of billions of dollars

666
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: in border security, you know, because they wanted to look

667
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: like they were conservative. Now the presidents just asking for

668
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: five billion and they won't even give them that. So

669
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: who's really to blame here that So it's their fault

670
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: because they took an to uphold the constitution and to

671
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: do certain duties. That duty is purned up funding our government.

672
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: And when you don't want to fund the government in

673
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 1: this project, but you're funding, you're giving millions of dollars

674
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: to day dreaming and wanting to know what happened with

675
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: quails and this and that. That's crazy. You know, we're

676
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to daydream if we keep our

677
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: boarders open. Look at how people are just walking up

678
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: in our country. Look at the police officer that got

679
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: gunned down for what. Imagine if we would have had

680
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: a wall up. Imagine if immigration, the immigration problem was fixed.

681
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: I think it's time to hop it down and fix

682
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 1: the problem instead of dismissing it or putting a band

683
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: aid on it. It's time to fix the problems and

684
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 1: that we can move forward. I can't blame my president

685
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump, and the reason why it's because he

686
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: stayed at the White House to do his job, and

687
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: he don't even get paid for the money that he gets.

688
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: He gives that away. Let's say it like that, right,

689
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: But you have these congress if women and men that's

690
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: in office that went home and they still got paid

691
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: for not doing their job. And I heard, I don't

692
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: know if this is true that we say allegedly her

693
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: it's been alleged they gave themself a pay raise. But

694
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: I got to continue to do my research to find

695
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: out that that's true, because they should have gave themselves

696
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: no raise. As a matter of fact, they should give

697
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: the money back because they don't work for us. They

698
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: have proven that they work for illegal aliens. That's right. Well,

699
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: and you know, I mean Nancy Pelosi's cashing that check

700
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: every month. Okay, somebody like Nancy Pelosi. She's not working

701
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: for free like the president. And she's worth she's worth

702
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars, tens of millions. Okay, she's

703
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 1: a rich woman. And I guarantee you she ain't working

704
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: for free. Okay, there's no chance, So let me let

705
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: me go ahead, There is no chance, Hall of You're right, yeah,

706
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: So let me let me ask y'all. I mean, what

707
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: do y'all think about a Democratic Congress coming in? Because

708
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: now the president he had Republicans, you know, many of

709
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: them that didn't like him over the last two years,

710
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: and it was hard to get some things done. But

711
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: now he's gonna have a Democratic Congress. They're really not

712
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: gonna try to work with him. I mean, I think

713
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: they're going to try to impeach him. Well, here's the deal.

714
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: They should not be trying to talking about investigate. They

715
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: should be legislating is what they should be doing. And

716
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: what we're going to have to do as the American

717
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: people is called them out on their stuff. They ran on, Okay,

718
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: we want healthcare for all. You got the House, so

719
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: you need to be fixing the healthcare problem, not trying

720
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: to impeach a sitting president. And what are you going

721
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: to impeach him? All? For the economy booming, for unemployment

722
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: being at an all time low, for economic opportunities for people,

723
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: for for for putting it I'm signing the first step

724
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: into law for for signing opportunity zones. What are you

725
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: going to impeach him on? See, he is not like

726
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: the traditional career politician. He's a businessman who's about the business.

727
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: That's why he didn't go home for the holidays. He

728
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: stayed at the White House because he's about the business.

729
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: And you got Congress they want to go back to

730
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: business as normal. A lot of them out their hands

731
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 1: in the cookie tar and ain't no more cookies left

732
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: and they scrambling for kuaw. That's right, and not to mention,

733
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: if you look at it, there was a lot of

734
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 1: deep state snakes, elitist Republicans right there alone with the

735
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: Democrats for the last two years, and that's why a

736
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: lot of stuff did not get done. So it's not

737
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: gonna be no difference for the next two years with

738
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: the Democrats having the House. But Donald J. Trump did

739
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: it with them or without them these last two years.

740
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: He would continue to do it with them or without

741
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: them for the next two years. Oh absolutely, Now, I mean,

742
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: we have out this week there are all these stories

743
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: that Congressman Maxine Waterso. I know, y'all did a whole

744
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 1: documentary on She's going to be chairing the House Financial

745
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: Services Committee, which is a big deal. Okay, how is

746
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: this happening? This woman's been discredited time and time again,

747
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: and here she is. I mean, she's getting promotion. I mean,

748
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. They don't care about that. They don't care

749
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: about her getting her kick back. Patty, what about that

750
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: situation with the bank that her husband was tied to

751
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 1: and up under the Obama administration, that bank was built

752
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: out because of her influence. They don't care anything about that.

753
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 1: They want to continue to do. Listen, Banses as usual.

754
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: Let me, that's why you have them about ninety two,

755
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: one hundred years old, still up there. It's the money,

756
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 1: it's the money. But the gravy trains are coming to

757
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: an end. I don't know how she got that position,

758
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,280
Speaker 1: what it is, what it is now, it's our responsibility

759
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: to watch her because that's tax Paris dollars. It ain't

760
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: nothing to be fool in the row when it comes

761
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 1: for our dollars. Oh absolutely, So let's just shift gears

762
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: here to twenty twenty, because you know, I mean, we're

763
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: a couple days from twenty nineteen now, and you're gonna

764
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: have all these Democrats coming out of the wood work,

765
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: you know, announcing their intentions to challenge President Trump. They're

766
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: gonna be beating each other up in the Democratic primaries.

767
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're looking at the lists of candidates, like,

768
00:43:58,400 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: what do you think about these people? I mean, like

769
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: Beata O'Rourke, I mean, what's his deal? Beetold me he

770
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: told listen, hey don't have no deal because he couldn't

771
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: even win Texas and they spent millions and millions of dollars,

772
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: which we've got to understand the reason why you're seeing

773
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: some of these people throws they had in the ring.

774
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: It's all about money. How much had to raise and

775
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: probably allegedly, this is my old personal opinion, how much

776
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: they can take because they know they don't even stand

777
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: its hands at winning when it comes come up. When

778
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: they come up to President Donald Trump. I look at

779
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 1: Beto o, Beto, whatever his name is. He don't look

780
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: presidential to me. He had all this sweat on the show.

781
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: He looked like a sweat person. The President's just sweating.

782
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: And no, we would never vote for him. When you

783
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: see Beeto, you've been a vetold him, act like we

784
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: don't did a veto, Absolutely not. It's a no for Beeto.

785
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: What do you think about Corey Booker because people are

786
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 1: saying he might be one of the guys. You know,

787
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: he's right up there with Beata. I mean, what are

788
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: you think about? No, cry Booker. Let me tell you

789
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: something about Corey Booker. Then Cory Booker admit some things

790
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: that he used to do. The women now they want

791
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: to downplay it. You don't hear the me too movement,

792
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: you don't heed the hear time up movie. You don't

793
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: hear none of them talking about it. But Cory Booker

794
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: is an absolute no, no, no, He's already made a

795
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: mess up there in the Senate. That's no. He's a

796
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: not well people don't realize. I mean, he left his

797
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: when he was mayor of Newark. He left that place

798
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: a dang disaster. I mean, so if we left out

799
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: a disaster, what will we want someone like that to

800
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: be running for president and be our president? Don't you know?

801
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a disaster up there at that White

802
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: House if we allow him to get in to think

803
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: about it for a minute. So it's an absolute it's

804
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: a no go for him. No. Yeah, And I you

805
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: know we could go on not because they're gonna be

806
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna be like coming out of the

807
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 1: word work. They're gonna be like thirty Democrats and they're

808
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: all gonna beating each other up. It's gonna be real nasty.

809
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: You're gonna have Kamala Harris. And you know if you

810
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's fifty Democrats and they call

811
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 1: Hillary to make fifty one yeah, one one, my brother,

812
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: they go knock about one five one. And I see

813
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: him being the president in twenty twenty. And the reason

814
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: why is because he's a man that don't wafer. He

815
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: cares about the American people. When I look at how

816
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: he said I'm going to secure the border. I want

817
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: to secure the border, and he bessed out on his

818
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: holiday to stay up there to fight for that. People

819
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: respect that. And I don't care what side of the

820
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 1: value on, but people respect that. Even the people that

821
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: didn't be vote for him respect that. And they know

822
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,760
Speaker 1: we do need border security because it drove down wages.

823
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: And the first people it affects minority. I see why.

824
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: Listen if they want to know why Hispanics love this

825
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 1: president because most of them came in it did the

826
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: right way. They got a line and they waited their turn,

827
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: and they are appalled with the money that they pay.

828
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: How they can allow the borders to say open illegal

829
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: aliens to come rush our borders, beat up on our

830
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: throtocks at our border patrol ages, thinking they can just

831
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: walk back up in here, walk in our country and

832
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: take the American dream. Hu. It's to be up paid,

833
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: but too hot to get in line the way to

834
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: You'll try to do it the right way when you

835
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: come into this country. We have laws and rules. It's

836
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: time to follow up the law. That's right. Y'all. Know

837
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: why people love you so much is because y'all don't

838
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: mince words, okay, and I know why it is. Y'all.

839
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: Y'all aren't from the Acela Corridor. You're not. You don't

840
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: live in DC, you don't live in New York, y'all.

841
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: Are y'all still right down North Carolina? Right North Carolina.

842
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. We listen, we pay attention,

843
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: and we call it out. And you cannot use these

844
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: big words where people don't understand it. You've got to

845
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: call it out in Lama's time. Here's what it is.

846
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: Job so people can get what's going on and guess

847
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: what people are paying attention to. Well they and look

848
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: the people in the mainstream media, I mean and stuff.

849
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: They think we're stupid, okay, they think it as Trump voters.

850
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: We don't know what we're talking about, and we proved

851
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: them wrong in twenty sixteen because we were right. Absolutely,

852
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 1: and they think that we are crazy. They think that

853
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: we are stupid. Let me tell you something, Americans do

854
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: not benefit from people running it. If we benefit from

855
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 1: people just run across with our borders with no border security,

856
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 1: then why don't you have doors up at your house

857
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: and they're a way to security alarm? Tell Obama to

858
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: goal knock down that wall he just built the bockets house.

859
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: Tell Nancy Pelosi to get rid of our walls. Listen,

860
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: we need border security. We cannot continue to risk our

861
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: national security. Elite the American people ride dirty and then

862
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: people gett kill, Americans getting killed, and five million dollars

863
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: should be are dropping a bucket if they can take

864
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 1: our tast dollars and illegally fund SANCTU where we're sitting.

865
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: So we can take our tast dollars and give President

866
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 1: doctor Trump the funding he needs to find the wall. Absolutely,

Speaker 1: in the sixties. I went to non several times. All

916
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: we did was build. There's no problem. You have the

917
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: Army Corps of engineers, You've got the Marine engineers, You've

918
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: got the Air Force engineers. You've got enough military people

919
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: to build the wall. And it won't cost no fifty

920
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: billion dollars. Oh well, absolutely. Now listen, the President said

921
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: today he's willing to shut down the border. He's going

922
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: to do whatever he has to do to make this happen.

923
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. He knows that this is probably

924
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: the biggest promise. Building the wall, securing the border is

925
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: the biggest promise that he made coming out of twenty sixteen.

926
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: If he's going to win in twenty twenty, he's got

927
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: to deliver on it. And for two years didn't have

928
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: the help of the Republicans. He's certainly not going to

929
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 1: have the help of Democrats when Snancy Pelosi's running Congress.

930
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. Maybe we can get some small

931
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: funding here and there, but it's going to be an

932
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: uphill climb and it's going to be a tough couple

933
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: of years getting the president's agenda executed if we have

934
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: to depend on Congress. So moving to your second point,

935
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 1: I agree, let's use the full breadth power, the resources,

936
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: and the know how of the American military to do this.

937
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: And there's a very simple rationale for using the military

938
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: to do it. This is an issue of national security,

939
00:52:55,960 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: plain and simple. We don't know who's coming into this country.

940
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: We don't know could be terrorists, could be other radicals.

941
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: And we know for a fact that we have murderers,

942
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: habitual murderers. We know that we have drugs, We know

943
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: that we have all kinds of criminals pouring across the border.

944
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: We know that that's a fact. You can't dispute it.

945
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 1: I don't care what talking points Democrats want to trot out.

946
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: It is a fact that you know we have a

947
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: violent element among the people that are coming across our

948
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: border illegally, and we need to act now. And I

949
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: think that the President's next step after the shutdown is resolved,

950
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: and I suspect we're gonna get some funding from Democrats

951
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,320
Speaker 1: and the shutdown will go as long as we need to,

952
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: and you know, you know, chunk of change and we

953
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: can you know, build however many miles of wall with

954
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: that five billion dollars. And I think the President will

955
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: eventually get that. I don't think he's gonna acquiesced in

956
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: the meantime. But that's not gonna be enough. I mean,

957
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: we've got we've got a lot of border to secure,

958
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: and so I have stand with you one hunder the

959
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: President should use the military and whatever other resources he

960
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 1: has available to fund this thing, to build this thing. Period.

961
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: We don't have a choice. So Charlie, thank you for

977
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show. I'm

978
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: Harland Hill filling in for Buck. Twenty eighteen is almost over.

979
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: We have a government shutdown. We're heading for a divided

980
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: government as Democrats will assume control of the House, and

981
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 1: Democrats are just starting to lay out their plans to

982
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: challenge President Donald J. Trump in twenty twenty. Joining me

983
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,800
Speaker 1: to break down where this all goes in twenty nineteen

984
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: is conservative writer Ryan Grdosky. Hey, Ryan, I wanted to

985
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 1: great to have you. I was watching CNBC. Absolutely, I

986
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: was watching CNBC and they're really pushing this idea that

987
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: this government shutdown in the presence focus on illegal immigration

988
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: is hurting the economy. I wanted to play a clip

989
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: for you so you could hear it. The President is

990
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 1: still taking the wrong lesson from the mid terms. He

991
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: believes the mid terms validated everything that he was doing,

992
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 1: and of course it didn't. If you look at the

993
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: voting independence went for the Democrats by twelve points. And

994
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 1: what one Republican strategist said was that the President took

995
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 1: the wrong lesson from the midterms and that the number

996
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: one issue is the economy, but the President made immigration

997
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: the number one issue. He continues to make immigration the

998
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: number one issue. The Democrats aren't going to cave on that.

999
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: Maybe the Republicans in Congress will talk him into some

1000
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: type of compromise, But until the President moves off of

1001
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: the five billion for the wall, I don't see anything

1002
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: settling on the shutdown in the next few days. So

1003
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: let me just lay this out for the viewers. I mean,

1004
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: Ryan and I talk about policy and immigration constantly, and

1005
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,320
Speaker 1: so I just know that he's going to have a

1006
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: lot to say about this because this guy on CNBC

1007
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 1: who's on all the time is inferring that immigration just

1008
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: is not a top issue that motivates voters. And this

1009
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: harkens back, in my view, to a perception in twenty

1010
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 1: sixteen that largely led to the establishment being blindsided by

1011
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 1: the Trump Revolution. Ryan, you want to weigh in on that. Yeah,

1012
00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,320
Speaker 1: I don't think he knows what he's talking about. Twenty

1013
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: eighteen election showed anything. It was actually that, Um, the

1014
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:08,360
Speaker 1: Republicans failure on healthcare motivated independence more than any other issue.

1015
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: That's what If you look at like Kristen Cinema, who won,

1016
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: who was the first Democrat elected in thirty years in Arizona,

1017
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: narrowly beating Martha McSally, Cinema ran to the to the

1018
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: right of mcsalian immigration. She was constantly saying, how we

1019
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: need troops on the border. UM. And and many people

1020
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: who ran in and one in moderate suburban districts did

1021
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: not run on the open borders policy. Uh. That is

1022
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: that is that will be the main view of Democrats

1023
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 1: in the in the primary in twenty twenty, UM, they ran,

1024
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 1: they ran to the to the middle. And there was

1025
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 1: a study done. I forget the institution that did it,

1026
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: but I certainly linked to it on Twitter later. UM

1027
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 1: that found that the people who voted for Obama twenty twelve,

1028
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: Trump and twenty sixteen, and then Democrats again in twenty eighteen,

1029
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 1: immigration was their number one issue and they were to

1030
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: the right of of of a center on immigration. It's

1031
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: just that they're a left of center on many many

1032
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 1: other issues, mainly healthcare and miss something you know you

1033
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 1: don't need to be preached about. But you know, Republicans mean,

1034
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: you have said this over and over again. If Republicans

1035
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: do not figure out a way to bring down costs

1036
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: of healthcare, we're going to have socialized medicine in this

1037
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 1: country in the next fifteen twenty years. And it's you know,

1038
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: that is the main motivating factor for Democrats. It's all healthcare.

1039
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: So that's the main issue. But it's but Truva is

1040
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right to pursue a hardline view and immigration. So,

1041
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean, the MSNBC was earlier pushing the idea that

1042
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, voters are blaming President Trump for the shutdown

1043
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: and that this is going to lead to a route.

1044
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 1: You don't see that. I guess your point here is

1045
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: that you don't see people's views on immigration shifting materially

1046
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: at all as it relates to the shutdown or any

1047
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 1: that it's it's going to remain constant. People don't like

1048
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: the ideas of you know, sanctuary cities. They don't like

1049
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: the idea of a police officer who is innocent and

1050
00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:00,439
Speaker 1: you know, away from his family on Christmas, being down

1051
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 1: by any legal immigrant. They don't like that. That's not

1052
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: a popular public opinion, right. I mean, that's not going

1053
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 1: to change just because the President decides to stand up

1054
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: the Democrats. Not only was he gunned down, but it's

1055
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 1: been I think I believe they caught the illegal alien.

1056
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 1: But not only was he gunned down, but Nancy Pelosi,

1057
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 1: who comes from the same state that this police officer

1058
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 1: was gunned down, a legal immigrant, by the way, who

1059
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: was gunned down by an illegal immigrant. Nancy Pelosi has

1060
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: not mentioned him. Chuck Schumer hasn't mentioned him. I went

1061
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: through every Democrat in leadership and major Democrat presidential candidate.

1062
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris has not mentioned him. Corey Booker hasn't mentioned him.

1063
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 1: Bernie Standers hasn't mentioned They all mentioned this eight year

1064
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 1: old boy who died in custody a border patrol because

1065
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 1: he was dehydrated by human smugglers for weeks on end.

1066
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: But they did not mention this, this brave police officer

1067
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: who was murdered. And there was a viral vigil that

1068
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: went around on Christmas of a new York City police

1069
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 1: officer being attacked by three vagrant vagrants on the subway.

1070
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: The main one who started the entire incident was an

1071
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: illegal alien with several detain ers that that we're ignored

1072
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 1: by by Mayor de Blasio. No, people care about safety

1073
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 1: and security. They're compassionate, but there they care about safety

1074
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 1: and security. They want the border um protected. And there's

1075
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand more Central Americans trying to come to our

1076
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 1: border and we're being completely overwhelmed. And and I just

1077
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: I want, I don't think that most Americans care about

1078
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: the shutdown. And secondly, um, those who those who really

1079
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 1: do are are are very heavily partisan, but they do

1080
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: want this border controlled and there's no other way about it.

1081
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: And Trump is right to whole firm He's going to

1082
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: certainly solidifying his base and people who who believe that

1083
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:44,439
Speaker 1: our border needs to be secure. Well, let's shift gears

1084
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: here to the Democratic primary for president in twenty twenty. UM.

1085
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: Just this week we had the news break that California

1086
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 1: is actually going to move up their primary date to

1087
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 1: Super Tuesday. And in my view, I mean, this just

1088
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 1: is a seismic shift and how Democrats are going to

1089
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: view the map as they start allocating resources in the

1090
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: primary for twenty twenty, can you explain to people, you

1091
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: know why this matters, Why having a state like California

1092
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: and Texas on the same day in the Democratic primaries

1093
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen will matter. Right, So several things happen

1094
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 1: if for the twenty sixteen Democratic primary. One is to

1095
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 1: kind of help support Bernie Sanders supporters and get them

1096
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: back in the Democrat or attempt to bring them back

1097
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: in the Democratic fold. The Democrats did away with a

1098
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: large chunk I think about half or almost half of

1099
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: their super delicates, so the party will not have the

1100
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 1: same machinery as it did back in twenty sixteen to

1101
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: help basically get Hillary Clinton over the line. A lot

1102
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 1: of it will be given to the voters, and the

1103
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 1: Democrats are are They give out delegates based upon proportion

1104
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 1: the votes, So if you get fifteen percent of the vote,

1105
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: you get about fifteen percent the delegates, and so on

1106
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 1: and so forth. The thing is is that it was

1107
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 1: always these small and mid sized states that decided, and

1108
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 1: they would ramp up to big states like New York

1109
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 1: and California in Texas by having California and Tech by

1110
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: having sorry California in Texas right on Super Tuesday, being

1111
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 1: that will be the fifth election, they'll be Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada,

1112
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: South Carolina, and then Super Tuesday. What happens is you

1113
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 1: could have a candidate like a Bernie or Beto or

1114
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 1: or Biden, when sweep three of those four states Iowa,

1115
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 1: New Hampshire and Nevada, South Carolina will probably be going

1116
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: to a black Canada whoever runs because it is a

1117
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: majority a majority of Democrats in the state are black.

1118
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 1: But but you could have them win three of those

1119
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: four and then California comes up, Kamala Harris sweeps California

1120
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 1: and Beto sweeps Texas or gets fifty percent or something

1121
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,919
Speaker 1: close to that, then all those early states don't matter,

1122
01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 1: and you go into an increasing likelihood of a broker convention.

1123
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 1: And if you think that twenty sixteen was ugly between Bernie,

1124
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, it will it will be

1125
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: all out war if it is a Biden Beto ticket

1126
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: versus a Kamala Corey Booker ticket, where you have a

1127
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: very likelihood good likelihood of chance of splitting establishing Democrats

1128
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 1: versus non established democrats. Progresses versus moderates, young versus old,

1129
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: white versus minority. It could be very very men versus women.

1130
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 1: You could be a very ugly contentious situation where two

1131
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 1: or maybe even three are very close to the presidency

1132
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: and are not even on the ticket because most people

1133
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: have the vice presidential candidate already on the ticket by

1134
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: the time the convention comes around. So it could be

1135
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 1: a very, very very serious problem for Democrats. And you know,

1136
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a very strong likelihood of having twenty

1137
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: thirty candidates in the field, and many of them will

1138
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 1: have at least a delegate. Now, do you think the

1139
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 1: Democrats have any ability to arrest control of the situation,

1140
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: because I think you're right. I mean, it seems like

1141
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:12,920
Speaker 1: it's it's possible we do have a BROKERD convention, and

1142
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 1: as we saw, I mean, we didn't have a ROOKERD

1143
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 1: convention in twenty sixteen, but there was still the perception

1144
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 1: that Bernie was slighted because of the party rules, because

1145
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 1: of the establishment working against him, And I think that

1146
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 1: actually really did have some longer term effects on Hillary Clinton.

1147
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: You know, in such a tight general election, who knows

1148
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 1: may have actually decided the election. No, I believe that

1149
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 1: a hunt. I believe it did too, Okay, but so

1150
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 1: so do the Can the Democrats do anything at this

1151
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 1: point to pull together and unite the party so that

1152
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 1: they can avoid this or do you just think that

1153
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 1: they're so fragmented at this point that's just that's just

1154
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 1: not going to happen. Well, Bernie is Bernie is a

1155
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 1: big problem for the Democrats. One, he is not a

1156
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 1: registered Democrat, which irks a lot of established Democrats. Secondly,

1157
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 1: he's very old. That worries a lot of established democ crafts.

1158
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 1: But also the fact of the matter is is that

1159
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: his supporters, so there are a large number of his

1160
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: supporters who do feel like the election was stolen from him,

1161
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 1: that he would have beaten Trump, and that this presidency

1162
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: is entirely due to the establishing parties. And they're still

1163
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: angry about twenty sixteen, and they're not going to sit

1164
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 1: there and support any other candidate besides Bernie. And if

1165
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,919
Speaker 1: they feel that this is happening again to them, they're

1166
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 1: going to be absolutely furious. Bernie has a right. Bernie

1167
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 1: supporters have already started a war against Beto, people who

1168
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:36,919
Speaker 1: are being who's being built up by the Hillary Clinton camp.

1169
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,640
Speaker 1: Beto is on that Todd Save America and which is

1170
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: run by all former Hillary Clinton staffers and is already

1171
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 1: being pursued by Joe Biden as a possible VP candidate,

1172
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, So it'll be a four white men running

1173
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: for president and vice president if Trump continues with Pence.

1174
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 1: But anyway, yeah, there's a lot of there's a lot

1175
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 1: of tension in Anger right now. And if Bernie Sanders runs,

1176
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: I don't see any way around that, you know, unless

1177
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 1: he completely fans out and and people just kind of

1178
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 1: he's not as exciting as as as he was in

1179
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. But there's a mean he also never surrendered

1180
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 1: surrendered his list of the DNC after this after the election.

1181
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: So he has this fundraising base which is millions upon

1182
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 1: millions of people. He has millions and millions of supporter supporters.

1183
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: He's going to be very high up in the polls

1184
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 1: in Hampshire and in Iowa. And that being said, though

1185
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 1: in a recent poll of Democratic candidates he is the

1186
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: most he is one of the most liked and one

1187
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 1: of the most disliked. So it's going to be very

1188
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 1: very difficult for UM for them to grapple with Bernie

1189
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: and there's a very strong chance he will run. And

1190
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 1: if he runs, uh, you know, it's going to be

1191
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 1: a bloody, bloody, bloody primary for Democrats where there's be

1192
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 1: a lot of mud slinging um. And I wouldn't be

1193
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 1: surprised at all depending on who was a nominee, where

1194
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 1: you'll have a large segment of the Democratic Party again

1195
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: throwing their hands up in the air and saying this

1196
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 1: party isn't worth it for me. And you know, I'll

1197
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: be an independent, or I'll be green, or I'll do

1198
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 1: something else, but the Democratic Party is just too corrupt. Well, Ryan,

01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. It's the easiest way because I

1218
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 1: can listen to it on my own schedule. Um. And uh,

1219
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 1: you know, Buck provides some of the best insight of

1220
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 1: anyone that I know. And I'm known Buck for a

1221
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 1: long time. We've got to be really good friends over

1222
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 1: the last you know, a year or so. And uh,

1223
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 1: this guy's got more experience than just about anybody that

1224
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:30,680
Speaker 1: I've ever worked with in television and uh and and

1225
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: he's just a good, solid guy. I wanted to take

1226
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: a moment, and this is a little bit of personal

1227
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:41,639
Speaker 1: privilege to say something about a friend of mine, somebody

1228
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: that you guys have probably seen on Fox News. Her

1229
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:51,519
Speaker 1: name's Bree Peyton and Bree on Fox News almost every day.

1230
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 1: She's twenty six years old, and she was a writer

1231
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 1: at The Federalist and Bree unfortunately passed away today. She

1232
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 1: was a rising star in the conservative movement. She was

1233
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 1: widely considered to be somebody that had an incredibly bright future, however,

1234
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: and she actually passed away from the H one in

1235
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 1: one virus swine flu. She passed away from the flu.

1236
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,680
Speaker 1: You don't hear about this very often. Twenty six years old,

1237
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: healthiest can be. I saw her just last week at

1238
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:33,640
Speaker 1: Fox and she was visiting with some people out in

1239
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:37,680
Speaker 1: San Diego, California, and a friend found her unconscious and

1240
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:41,679
Speaker 1: barely breathing yesterday, and she was rushed to the ICU

1241
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 1: and sedated. And everybody that I know in conservative media,

1242
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 1: including Buck you know, or or or you know, saying

1243
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: a prayer for her and her family tonight, because you

1244
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 1: just you don't hear of that very often, and you know,

1245
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 1: it sort of underlines in my head how important it

1246
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 1: is to take these things seriously, no matter how healthy

1247
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:08,679
Speaker 1: or young you are. We've had a really good show

1248
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:10,720
Speaker 1: so far. We still have another hour ahead of us,

1249
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:14,639
Speaker 1: and in that time we're going to have Tom Fitton,

1250
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:19,799
Speaker 1: the president of Judicial Watch. He has some incredible insight

1251
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 1: on the prospects of Democrats trying to impeach the president

1252
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen in advance of twenty twenty. Tom and

1253
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:38,480
Speaker 1: Judicial Watch are arguably the pre eminent organization that focuses

1254
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 1: on legal issues and on the conservative side. You know,

1255
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 1: they led the charge in terms of chasing down Hillary

1256
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 1: Clinton for her misuse of her private email server. They

1257
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 1: chase her down on the issues with Benghazi. They do

1258
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible work. And so I think you guys are

1259
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 1: really going to enjoy my conversation that I have. I'm

1260
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 1: gonna have with with Tom here in uh, you know,

1261
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,760
Speaker 1: another five or six minutes. Incredibly bright, and he has

1262
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 1: the President's here. And so one thing that we've tried

1263
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 1: to do tonight is to provide as many voices as

1264
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 1: we could possibly find on uh, you know, a holiday weekend.

1265
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 1: And you guys have had some great ones, you know,

1266
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:21,799
Speaker 1: from doctor Sebastian Gorka the Diamond and Silk to Stephanie

1267
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:24,680
Speaker 1: Caller over at the Hamil as Sephanie Hamile over at

1268
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:28,439
Speaker 1: the Caller and um, and we've got some great ones

1269
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: ahead of us. I am incredibly m proud of what

1270
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 1: we've accomplished in such a short period of time with

1271
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 1: President Donald J. Trump, and I can tell that many

1272
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 1: of you are too. I mean, we've had some great

1273
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 1: conversations with with with callers, and I want to hear

1274
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 1: from y'all exactly what's on your mind. You know, between

1275
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 1: the shutdown, the incoming Democratic Congress, the overreach of Nancy Pelosi. Uh,

1276
01:11:56,320 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 1: you know, some of the most unstable, dangerous characters, people

1277
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,160
Speaker 1: like Maxine Waters rising to prominence in the Democratic Party.

1278
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. So, the phone lines are open.

1279
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 1: Give us a call at eight four to four nine

1280
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 1: hundred two eight two five. Welcome back. You're listening to

1281
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show. I'm Harlan Hill filling in for Buck.

1282
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: The phone lines are open, so give us a call

1283
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 1: at eight four four nine twenty eight twenty five. That's

1284
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 1: eight four to four nine hundred buck. If you listen

1285
01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 1: to the mainstream media, we're on the verge of an

1286
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 1: impeachment showdown in twenty nineteen. Just turn on MSNBC or CNN.

1287
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 1: It's all you hear world waff for the last two years. Basically,

1288
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 1: in fact, New York Times just put out on an

1289
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 1: op ed that said that it's quote all but guaranteed

1290
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:34,840
Speaker 1: the President Donald Trump will be impeached after Democrats take

1291
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: control of the House of Representatives unless he takes a

1292
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: queue from President Richard Nixon and leaves on his own.

1293
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 1: I think that's wishful thinking about the New York Times

1294
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:44,639
Speaker 1: join me to discuss this as the president of Judicial

1295
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,040
Speaker 1: Watch and frequent Fox News guests Tom Fitten, Tom, thanks

1296
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:49,519
Speaker 1: for joining me. Probably good to be with you. Thank

1297
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 1: you for having me. Absolutely so, Tom, is this just

1298
01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 1: more crying wolf by the Democrats, or do you think

1299
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: that there's a legitimate possibility that leadership in this new

1300
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: Democratic House moved to impeach the president. I think they

1301
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 1: were going to talk about impeaching the president. They may

1302
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 1: begin impeachment inquiries, which is one way of having their

1303
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:17,040
Speaker 1: taking eating it too, where they're talking about the possibility

1304
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:20,720
Speaker 1: of impeaching him and having hearings associated with that and

1305
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 1: satisfying their hardcore activists who want impeachment while actually just

1306
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 1: keeping the government operating without too much craziness in terms

1307
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 1: of a full blown impeachment effort. Yeah, So, I mean,

1308
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 1: what is it going to take for us to finally

1309
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 1: get some evidence of any wrongdoing by the president. I

1310
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 1: mean this started. This whole process of trying to undermine

1311
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:50,679
Speaker 1: the Donald Trump administration started before he was even elected.

1312
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 1: They were trying to plant seeds of doubt about Russian

1313
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 1: collusion in the event that he won. And he won,

1314
01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: and that's what they've done. So at one point three

1315
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:02,000
Speaker 1: years into this nonsense, are we finally going to get something?

1316
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm waiting for the American people to

1317
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 1: finally throw their hands up in the air and just

1318
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:11,120
Speaker 1: say this is this is nothing. Why. I don't think

1319
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:13,679
Speaker 1: it's going to stop until the League Office, really, whether

1320
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 1: it's one term or two, I just see this as

1321
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 1: the Remember you know George Bush's win in Florida, how

1322
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 1: controversial that was for the left. They never gave up

1323
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:28,240
Speaker 1: on it eight years later, and the Russia thing is

1324
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 1: much more sensitive for them, even though it was the

1325
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:38,599
Speaker 1: Clinton Democratic Party that generated the false allegations about Russia collusion. Yeah,

1326
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 1: but that doesn't matter because they don't have a media

1327
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:44,439
Speaker 1: holding into account here. So you know, the normal checks

1328
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,640
Speaker 1: in our in our system aren't working in terms of

1329
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:52,640
Speaker 1: stamping down this outrageous conspiracy theory. As you know, the

1330
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:55,320
Speaker 1: question is of the Democrats, the Democratic political leadership going

1331
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 1: to go you know, full movie, full moonbeam on it.

1332
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is this the new normal then? I mean,

1333
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, looking out, I mean, eventually we will have

1334
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 1: a new We'll have a Democrat in the White House

1335
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 1: at some point in the future. You know, is this

1336
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:10,640
Speaker 1: the new norm? I mean, do you think that we

1337
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 1: will reciprocate with these kinds of investigations to work to

1338
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:16,760
Speaker 1: undermine a democratic administration on the right or do you

1339
01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:18,600
Speaker 1: think that this is a phenomenon that's unique to the

1340
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: radicalism that we're seeing metastasize within the Democratic Party. Well,

1341
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:28,679
Speaker 1: we couldn't get a legitimate investigation based on serious criminal

1342
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:34,760
Speaker 1: allegation against Hillary Clint Cuche. Yes, there's no way, you know,

1343
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:37,560
Speaker 1: the Republicans or Conservatives are going to come up with

1344
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 1: a fake investigation or fake allegations and demanded criminal investigations.

1345
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:46,560
Speaker 1: Just yeah, there's a degree the new normal is the

1346
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:51,320
Speaker 1: Trump slash Kavanaugh approach to politics by the left? Yes,

1347
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:54,599
Speaker 1: I just don't see any ecois of it on the right. Well,

1348
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 1: can you help me understand, I mean, you bring up

1349
01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 1: a really interesting point. What's the deficiency here? Like why

1350
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 1: why can't we get a proper investigation into Hillary Clinton?

1351
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:08,280
Speaker 1: I mean, she and her staff destroyed evidence, there was

1352
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 1: under subpoena material to a federal investigation, and nothing happened.

1353
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 1: Nothing happened, they got away. If I had done that,

1354
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:17,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd be under the jail house right now.

1355
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 1: I mean, so, what's the disconnect your Tom? Why are

1356
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:25,640
Speaker 1: we I mean this is asymmetrical. Well, during the Obama administration,

1357
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:28,680
Speaker 1: one day someone serious rout a history of it. The

1358
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:33,839
Speaker 1: politicalization of the government metastasize, especially in the Justice Department

1359
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: and the FBI. So there was never any chance in

1360
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:42,640
Speaker 1: retrospect of the radicalized Justice Department in terms of politics,

1361
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 1: seriously investigating and prosecuting Hillary. And it just wasn't going

1362
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 1: to happen. I know, I was naive. I thought the

1363
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:52,360
Speaker 1: right thing might happen, But in retrospect that didn't even

1364
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 1: I even I didn't understand the scope and breadth of

1365
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 1: the corruption at the top levels of the Justice Department

1366
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:03,519
Speaker 1: and FBI at the time. And yeah, it's it's something

1367
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:05,800
Speaker 1: that's going to be difficult to undo because the current

1368
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 1: leadership still doesn't have a full understanding of just how

1369
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 1: political their agencies are. Absolutely and before we go here,

1370
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 1: I just got to ask, do you think that there's

1371
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 1: any risk of Republicans breaking with the Republican caucus and

1372
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, working with Democrats to impeach the president. Do

1373
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:25,160
Speaker 1: you think there's any risk of that? Oh, there's always

1374
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 1: going to be some Republicans showing a little leg in

1375
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 1: that regard, and that My guess is that there are

1376
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 1: some Republicans secretly and not too secretly, like you see

1377
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 1: the president removed from office. But I don't think it

1378
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 1: will be a substantial number that will give much cred

1379
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:45,720
Speaker 1: to the left wing impeachment abuses if they proceed. Got it, Tom,

1380

Speaker 1: actually indispensable. Um. I'll talk to you real quick about

1412
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:26,800
Speaker 1: actually how I met Buck um Buck and I back

1413
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:29,880
Speaker 1: and when I first got started in television. Buck was

1414
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 1: actually a contributor at CNN. He was like one of

1415
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:38,920
Speaker 1: the few woke conservatives that were there that had, you know,

1416
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 1: brought the perspective that they're viewers just don't get, you know.

1417
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 1: And I always respected him for going into the Lionston,

1418
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 1: for going into the arena and not back and down.

1419
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,559
Speaker 1: It takes some courage to do that, I'll tell you guys.

1420
01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 1: I mean, I've done plenty of CNN in the past year.

1421
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 1: I don't do it anymore. I'm exclusive doing Fox News now,

1422
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:03,600
Speaker 1: but I used to do a lot to see in

1423
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:08,720
Speaker 1: particularly back in twenty sixteen. And they play all kinds

1424
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 1: of games. You know, everybody knows about the bias that

1425
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 1: they have. Everybody knows that you know they have. You know,

1426
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: they hyper focus on every little fault that they can

1427
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 1: come up with, whether it's true or not about the president.

1428
01:20:23,720 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes they just blatantly make stuff up. But one of

1429
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:29,719
Speaker 1: the things that they do that you guys just don't

1430
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:31,800
Speaker 1: see on screen, it's behind the scenes. One of the

1431
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:36,800
Speaker 1: things that they do is, for one, this is actually

1432
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 1: something that you do see. They will stack the panels

1433
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:43,439
Speaker 1: against Trump voices. This isn't something that they used to do,

1434
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,360
Speaker 1: you know, with traditional Republicans, but they view the Trump

1435
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:49,720
Speaker 1: presidency and the MAGA movement as an existential threat to

1436
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:51,760
Speaker 1: their pre eminence right. And I mean, the media for

1437
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:57,439
Speaker 1: a long time had a stranglehold on what Americans thought

1438
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:02,040
Speaker 1: and with social media, with the president leveraging social media

1439
01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,080
Speaker 1: in a way that no president, including Barack Obama, had

1440
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 1: ever done to mobilize his message and to get out

1441
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:11,760
Speaker 1: stories that just were being underreported, including you know, the

1442
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 1: stories of angel Moms, which you know is particularly relevant

1443
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 1: in the light of the story that we opened the

1444
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 1: show up with about the police officer that was brutally

1445
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 1: murdered out in California. But getting back to CNN, one

1446
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: thing that they do is obviously they sacked the panels.

1447
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:31,639
Speaker 1: They'll have the host who's almost certainly liberal. They're very

1448
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:36,720
Speaker 1: almost no conservatives. It's gonna they're hosting shows. But one

1449
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:38,720
Speaker 1: of the things that they do is they'll have the

1450
01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:40,680
Speaker 1: host who's a liberal, and then they'll have you know,

1451
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:45,600
Speaker 1: two to four Democrats. Then they love to throw a

1452
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 1: never Trump Republican in the mix, somebody like Anna Navarro

1453
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 1: or you know, they're it's a long list of people

1454
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:55,639
Speaker 1: like that that are never Trumpers, and you know, don't

1455
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 1: reflect any major constituency in the Republican Party. I mean,

1456
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 1: how many never Trumpers are there left among voters. They're

1457
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:05,600
Speaker 1: barely any. The president's intra party approval rating is to

1458
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:08,840
Speaker 1: the roof. So the fact that they give equal voice

1459
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 1: to never Trump Republicans as they give to pro Trump

1460
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:14,519
Speaker 1: Republicans is so dishonest to their viewers. I mean, that

1461
01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:17,519
Speaker 1: just doesn't reflect the modern Republican Party, doesn't reflect America.

1462
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:24,760
Speaker 1: It's a total fabrication. And so you know, so they

1463
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:29,200
Speaker 1: they to recap they stack it with a host that

1464
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:34,760
Speaker 1: is very anti Trump, and they will have all these

1465
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 1: Democrats have a never Trumper, and then they'll give us

1466
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:42,040
Speaker 1: one pro Trump Republican and everybody, everybody on the panel

1467
01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 1: shouts down the Republican, the pro Trump Republican. They don't

1468
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 1: give us a time to respond to like personal attacks,

1469
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 1: and so they drown you out. So but then they

1470
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 1: can say, you know, oh, we're given we're given the

1471
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 1: Trump voice as a chance. Nah, they don't do that.

1472
01:22:57,400 --> 01:23:02,120
Speaker 1: The other thing that they do is that they will

1473
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:05,760
Speaker 1: change your topics last minute, and that's normal in news.

1474
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 1: You know, this is a fast moving news cycle. And

1475
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 1: but all everybody else on the panel, everybody else that

1476
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 1: you see on TV, knows what the new topic is.

1477
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 1: This is a trick they play, and they will not

1478
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 1: tell us, so that we're totally blindsided and unprepared and

1479
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:25,120
Speaker 1: puts us at a tremendous disadvantage. Now I told you

1480
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 1: guys earlier, I'm a former Democrat. I used to be

1481
01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:29,720
Speaker 1: a Democrat. I used to go on Fox News as

1482
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 1: a Democrat back in the day. I'm now very much

1483
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: a Republican. I was always conservative Democrat, by the way,

1484
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:38,400
Speaker 1: so give me, you know, don't hate me too much

1485
01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:44,040
Speaker 1: for that. I've seen the light. And I can remember

1486
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 1: going on Fox News back in the day as a Democrat,

1487
01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 1: and I was never treated the way that CNN treats

1488
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: pro Trump Republicans. They didn't play any games like this,

1489
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 1: They didn't drown out our voices. It was always a

1490
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:57,639
Speaker 1: fairer match. I can remember going on The O'Riley Factor,

1491
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 1: Okay Riley Factor, biggest show on cable news at the time,

1492
01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 1: huge had enormous, enormous social impact. A lot of people

1493
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 1: saw it, and at worst it would be the host,

1494
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:13,720
Speaker 1: you know, Bill would be there, and then you'd have

1495
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 1: a Republican voice, and then the Democrat would would have

1496
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 1: a fair shot. You know, they're not getting drowned out.

1497
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:24,960
Speaker 1: So Fox really does to this day give Democrats a

1498
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 1: fair shake. They're able to be defeated by Republican ideas

1499
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 1: on their own merit, and it says everything about CNN

1500
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:39,719
Speaker 1: that they're afraid to give the ideas of the Republican

1501
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:45,080
Speaker 1: Party a fair shot. So coming up, now, we have

1502
01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:48,960
Speaker 1: a caller from South Carolina. Yeah, what question do you

1503
01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 1: have a Hey, what's up? I was wondering what to

1504
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 1: take up the partial sit down? Oh? Well, for one,

1505
01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, I think that it was

1506
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 1: the best move the President could have made. The President

1507
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:08,639
Speaker 1: made his most important core tenant coming out of twenty

1508
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:11,200
Speaker 1: sixteen was the promise to build the wall to secure

1509
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 1: the border to stop illegal immigration. And he didn't have

1510
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 1: a choice at this point, after two years of Congress

1511
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 1: led by Republicans not putting material funding on his desk

1512
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:29,960
Speaker 1: to sign to build and secure the border. He had

1513
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 1: to put his foot down now, and I don't think

1514
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:35,479
Speaker 1: he's going to pay much of a political price. I

1515
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:38,320
Speaker 1: don't think that most Americans out there outside of the

1516
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:41,880
Speaker 1: Acelic Corridor, outside of DC, New York, LA, I don't

1517
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:44,680
Speaker 1: think anybody really cares that the government is shut down,

1518
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:48,680
Speaker 1: partially shut down. They don't care. So this was the

1519
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 1: time for the President to take a stand. And I

1520
01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:55,800
Speaker 1: think that he should ride this thing out as long

1521
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 1: as he has to. He should ride this thing out

1522
01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 1: until he gets exactly what he wants. And you know

1523
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:03,880
Speaker 1: what I'll waser, did the Democrats come to the table,

1524
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 1: Because you know I said earlier in my conversation with

1525
01:26:10,160 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 1: doctor Gorka, you know, it wasn't that long ago. The

1526
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:19,559
Speaker 1: Democrats were down with the idea of securing the border.

1527
01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:23,559
Speaker 1: Back in twenty thirteen, all fifty four Democrats that were

1528
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 1: in the Senate at the time, every single one, every

1529
01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 1: single one of the Democrats in the Senate voted for

1530
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:35,080
Speaker 1: the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immtegration Modernization Act in

1531
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:38,679
Speaker 1: that it's a big long name. In that included forty

1532
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 1: six billion dollars for border security improvements, and it added

1533
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:44,960
Speaker 1: over seven hundred miles of border fencing. The president's asking

1534
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:48,720
Speaker 1: for five billion dollars. You're telling me that many of

1535
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:51,200
Speaker 1: the same Democrats that are still in the Senate and

1536
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:54,240
Speaker 1: in the House can't come to the table for a

1537
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 1: music five billion dollars when they were on they came

1538
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:58,400
Speaker 1: to the table for forty six billion back in twenty thirteen.

1539
01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 1: And that includes the leader of the Democrats in the Senate,

1540
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:05,439
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer. He voted for this. But now supposedly walls

1541
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:07,920
Speaker 1: are racist? Are you kidding me? And what do you

1542
01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 1: think about the shutdown? Man? Well, I think it just

1543
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 1: exposes the Last because they are a bunch of hypocrites. Yeah,

1544
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: and if they are, they preached saying, oh we're gonna

1545
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:23,519
Speaker 1: build the fence where you know Obama preached, you know,

1546
01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:28,160
Speaker 1: the mass deportation, they're they're all that right now. The

1547
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 1: only thing they're trying to do is just undermine Chump

1548
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:33,040
Speaker 1: right now. That's all the Last is doing any anymore.

1549
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:35,320
Speaker 1: It's just to stop Chump. They hate Chump so much

1550
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:37,680
Speaker 1: that they don't want him to succeed. They don't want

1551
01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:41,600
Speaker 1: to see a wall built. I don't understand why, But

1552
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't understand why they want people crossing out borders illegally.

1553
01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:51,600
Speaker 1: And I'm assuming you saw this, this cop that was

1554
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:55,760
Speaker 1: just brutally murdered. You know, I was disgusted by it,

1555
01:27:55,840 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 1: that that scumbag. Yeah, of any man, all right, I

1556
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:03,519
Speaker 1: get it. If you come to our country you need help,

1557
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:07,479
Speaker 1: I want to give you help. But when you come

1558
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:11,439
Speaker 1: into our country and you decide to kill a peace officer,

1559
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:15,680
Speaker 1: that takes it to the next step. That's when we

1560
01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:19,160
Speaker 1: should actually start opening our eyes and look that we

1561
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 1: need security on our wall. We need a security on

1562
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:26,599
Speaker 1: a border. It's been going on long enough. Every year

1563
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 1: people are getting killed by easilygal immigrants who are crossing

1564
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,679
Speaker 1: our border illegally, who shouldn't be here in the first place.

1565
01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 1: And this all could be preventaged if we had border security.

1566
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:41,200
Speaker 1: But well, border cussary with the wall. Oh absolutely, Well,

1567
01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:42,559
Speaker 1: first of all, thank you for your call. I really

1568
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:45,400
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I mean, I couldn't agree more with all

1569
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:49,439
Speaker 1: of that. I mean, now's the time we sat around.

1570
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:52,760
Speaker 1: We've waited, We kicked the can down the road for

1571
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:56,200
Speaker 1: way too long. It's not just the last two years

1572
01:28:57,320 --> 01:29:00,120
Speaker 1: during the Bush administration, we didn't do enough either. As

1573
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:04,240
Speaker 1: a Republican Party you know, Barack Obama and the Democrats

1574
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:06,960
Speaker 1: for the last eight years certainly didn't do what was

1575
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:09,600
Speaker 1: needed to secure the border. They didn't really care. This

1576
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:13,800
Speaker 1: has been a problem decades in the making, decades in

1577
01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:18,479
Speaker 1: the making, and enough's enough. We either solve this problem

1578
01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:20,320
Speaker 1: now or I'm telling you what, I don't think we're

1579
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:24,840
Speaker 1: ever going to solve it in this country, maybe beyond repair,

1580
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:27,639
Speaker 1: because the amount of crime and the drugs that continue

1581
01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:30,760
Speaker 1: to pour across the border are totally unacceptable. No one

1582
01:29:30,840 --> 01:29:33,920
Speaker 1: has an issue with a degree of legal immigration, but

1583
01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:38,000
Speaker 1: we need immigration and moderation, and it's totally unacceptable that

1584
01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:41,320
Speaker 1: we don't know we don't know who's come into this country.

1585
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:46,200
Speaker 1: That's a travesty and it's only a matter of time

1586
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:52,519
Speaker 1: before it costs more American lives. Anyway, call in eight

1587
01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:54,920
Speaker 1: four four nine two eight two five. We've got one

1588
01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:56,400
Speaker 1: more interview coming up and the I'm gonna be taking

1589
01:29:56,439 --> 01:29:59,560
Speaker 1: all your calls on the other side of this this

1590
01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:02,639
Speaker 1: break to make sure you call in. Welcome back. You're

1591
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:04,920
Speaker 1: listening to the Buck Sexton Show. I'm Harland Hill filing

1592
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:08,120
Speaker 1: for Buck. The mainstream media seem to be pushing endlessly,

1593
01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:12,400
Speaker 1: almost rooting for an economic downtterm. They report with bated

1594
01:30:12,479 --> 01:30:15,200
Speaker 1: breath the recent correction that we've seen in the stock market,

1595
01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:17,759
Speaker 1: and they all to blame at the feet of President

1596
01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:20,880
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump. Let's play this clip from CNBC and

1597
01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:23,240
Speaker 1: I think you'll see what I mean. It's interesting that

1598
01:30:23,320 --> 01:30:25,160
Speaker 1: you say that he's digging into this issue on immigration,

1599
01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:26,880
Speaker 1: which he very much is when it comes to the

1600
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:31,040
Speaker 1: budget issue of the day. But he certainly is very impacted,

1601
01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:34,560
Speaker 1: very sensitive if he will, to US economic performance. We

1602
01:30:34,680 --> 01:30:36,639
Speaker 1: know he constantly looks at what's happening in the US

1603
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:39,400
Speaker 1: stock markets as an indicator of his popularity in many ways.

1604
01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:42,639
Speaker 1: So given what we've seen in markets, do you think

1605
01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:45,760
Speaker 1: this will be an impetus for change when it comes

1606
01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:47,840
Speaker 1: to President Trump digging in his heels not just on

1607
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:50,040
Speaker 1: the border wall, but on things like China. Well, the

1608
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:54,360
Speaker 1: question is what is going to be the lessons that

1609
01:30:54,439 --> 01:30:57,280
Speaker 1: he takes from everything. I think twenty nineteen is going

1610
01:30:57,360 --> 01:31:01,120
Speaker 1: to make twenty eighteen look team by Paris. I mean,

1611
01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:03,519
Speaker 1: USX Pats are like the canaries in the coal mine

1612
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:06,240
Speaker 1: for US businesses. I mean, we send things coming first.

1613
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:09,439
Speaker 1: I've never seen such nervousness in the US business community

1614
01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:12,560
Speaker 1: as I see now. It comes with US China standoff,

1615
01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:15,360
Speaker 1: It comes with all the politics in Washington, it comes

1616
01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:18,679
Speaker 1: with the world moving forward without US, like EU, Japan

1617
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:22,479
Speaker 1: and the CPTPP. So there's just so much nervousness now

1618
01:31:22,520 --> 01:31:24,080
Speaker 1: it's very hard to kick. What's going to make the

1619
01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:28,679
Speaker 1: markets better? Joining me now? Is markets Expert A frequent

1620
01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:31,439
Speaker 1: Fox guest Katherin Rooney Vera. Katherine is a professor at

1621
01:31:31,439 --> 01:31:33,640
Speaker 1: the University of Miami and head of Global Research and

1622

Speaker 1: chief investment Strategists at Baltic Capital Markets. Katherine, thanks for

1623
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:41,240
Speaker 1: joining us. Thanks Han, So, you know, just listening to

1624
01:31:41,360 --> 01:31:44,719
Speaker 1: that last clip there, you know this is a message

1625
01:31:44,760 --> 01:31:47,960
Speaker 1: that I'm hearing cram down our throats on CNBC and

1626
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:52,439
Speaker 1: elsewhere across all the liberal networks, that you know we're

1627
01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:55,400
Speaker 1: headed for a recession in twenty nineteen. I think it's

1628
01:31:55,400 --> 01:32:00,280
Speaker 1: almost wishful thinking. Is there anything to this? And I

1629
01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:04,240
Speaker 1: couldn't agree with you more. It's almost breathless anticipation of

1630
01:32:04,360 --> 01:32:07,960
Speaker 1: a recession, hoping that it actually happens. I hear it

1631
01:32:08,320 --> 01:32:10,240
Speaker 1: where and as an economist and as you mentioned, a

1632
01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:15,560
Speaker 1: market strategists, it's just hard to justify. I often I

1633
01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:18,320
Speaker 1: say to my clients. Harland, I often say, I'd like

1634
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:22,800
Speaker 1: to meet the economist who's calling for recession, who's a

1635
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:25,439
Speaker 1: credible economist, and talk with him or her and say,

1636
01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:27,720
Speaker 1: what are you looking at? Because what I'm looking at

1637
01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:30,639
Speaker 1: doesn't show me any signs of recession. What I am

1638
01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:34,680
Speaker 1: afraid of is that with all of this incessant talk

1639
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:37,760
Speaker 1: about recession, because the market has corrected one thing does

1640
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:42,759
Speaker 1: not induce the other. Of ten, fifteen, twenty percent correction

1641
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:47,360
Speaker 1: in the stock market does not mean imminent recession. Um,

1642
01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:50,160
Speaker 1: what I'd like to see, what are you looking at?

1643
01:32:50,360 --> 01:32:52,639
Speaker 1: What is going on here? So look, I would say

1644
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:56,360
Speaker 1: that that the China issue is an interesting one. I

1645
01:32:56,439 --> 01:32:59,240
Speaker 1: think that President Trump is actually tackling it in the

1646
01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:02,559
Speaker 1: exactly proper fashion. I think we're actually going to get

1647
01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:06,200
Speaker 1: some type of resolution in the short term in the

1648
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:09,720
Speaker 1: form of a deal, and I think the markets are

1649
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:11,439
Speaker 1: going to be off to the racist. So I'm actually

1650
01:33:11,520 --> 01:33:15,479
Speaker 1: very positive on the markets and actively recommending long positions

1651
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:18,639
Speaker 1: to my institutional clients. Is that the vibe that you're

1652
01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:20,720
Speaker 1: getting out there, I mean outside of the media, I

1653
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:24,360
Speaker 1: mean your peers. Are they thinking that twenty nineteen should

1654
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:28,880
Speaker 1: be fairly solid? A lot of most people think there's

1655
01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:30,600
Speaker 1: going to be a deceleration. I would agree with that.

1656
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:33,160
Speaker 1: But when we're talking about a deceleration, Harland, from three

1657
01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:36,920
Speaker 1: percent to two point seven two point eight percent, I mean,

1658
01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:40,760
Speaker 1: it's really not a big deceleration. So I think that

1659
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:44,080
Speaker 1: there's too much emphasis on the deceleration and the negative

1660
01:33:44,160 --> 01:33:47,439
Speaker 1: aspects of everything, rather than on what has been the

1661
01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:50,479
Speaker 1: motors and impetus for growth, which are twofold. One is

1662
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:54,120
Speaker 1: tax reform, unequivocally, and two is the regulation. I mean,

1663
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:56,479
Speaker 1: we have three percent growth. I remember at the beginning

1664
01:33:56,520 --> 01:33:58,479
Speaker 1: of the year, Harland, people would say to me, three

1665
01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:02,920
Speaker 1: percent growth is impossible. Three percent growth is impossible. Now

1666
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 1: we have quarterly, seasonally just annualized figures above four percent,

1667
01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:10,240
Speaker 1: and for the year we're going to get three percent. Remember,

1668
01:34:10,320 --> 01:34:12,120
Speaker 1: one thing is important to know here for the audience

1669
01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:15,280
Speaker 1: is that potential growth through the United States of america's

1670
01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:18,840
Speaker 1: two point two percent. So if you're growing at two

1671
01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:21,599
Speaker 1: point six two point eight percent after a three percent year,

1672
01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:27,479
Speaker 1: that's very strong. That's very strong. So the worst possible

1673
01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:29,320
Speaker 1: scenario that I can think of it and what keeps

1674
01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:31,960
Speaker 1: me up at night, is a self fulfilling prophecy if

1675
01:34:32,040 --> 01:34:35,200
Speaker 1: you get the mainstream media and really every media outlet

1676
01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:39,280
Speaker 1: talking about deceleration across the globe in the United States,

1677
01:34:39,920 --> 01:34:43,679
Speaker 1: possibility of recession, then I fear you would eventually see

1678
01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:49,639
Speaker 1: possibly consumer confidence dipping, which would could mean people putting

1679
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:54,120
Speaker 1: breaks on investment or spending, and that could filter into

1680
01:34:54,200 --> 01:34:57,439
Speaker 1: real economic data. So that's where I would be concerned

1681
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:01,320
Speaker 1: from a self fulfilling prophecy perspect active. But the fact

1682
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 1: is is that if you look at total investment, if

1683
01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:06,200
Speaker 1: you look at consumption, or you look at exports, the

1684
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:10,640
Speaker 1: economy is growing very strongly on multiple cylinders. Absolutely. And

1685
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:13,920
Speaker 1: so I mean you identify China, I mean, what are

1686
01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:18,800
Speaker 1: the biggest risks we're facing If you're playing Devil's advocate here, Yeah,

1687
01:35:18,840 --> 01:35:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it's China. I really don't. I mean,

1688
01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:24,719
Speaker 1: we've had decades of we've been complaining about intellectual property

1689
01:35:24,720 --> 01:35:27,800
Speaker 1: stuff for decades since Bill Clinton. So let's try something

1690
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:29,760
Speaker 1: new here. I mean, I'm not afraid. I think I

1691
01:35:29,800 --> 01:35:31,720
Speaker 1: think it's a great way to go. We have the

1692
01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:34,840
Speaker 1: deal with NAFTA, which is the USMC. I think that's

1693
01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:37,160
Speaker 1: that's good precedent for what we should expect. That the

1694
01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:41,519
Speaker 1: rounds with China, and I think the incentives are aligned.

1695
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:43,760
Speaker 1: Not only that, think about this, Harlan. You have some

1696
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:48,800
Speaker 1: concessions from the Chinese, namely a relaxing of the rules

1697
01:35:48,840 --> 01:35:53,040
Speaker 1: against joint ventures, a drastic cut in and the tax

1698
01:35:53,200 --> 01:35:59,040
Speaker 1: put on US car imports in China, a reopening up

1699
01:35:59,080 --> 01:36:02,200
Speaker 1: imports for ellen G and soy products. So I think

1700
01:36:02,240 --> 01:36:06,120
Speaker 1: that's playing the groundwork for some sort of um, you know,

1701
01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:09,600
Speaker 1: trade deal. So what I'd be concerned about would be

1702
01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:13,679
Speaker 1: the felfilling prophecy. I'm concerned about corporate leverage, But apart

1703
01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:17,040
Speaker 1: from that, I wouldn't say that we are like like

1704
01:36:17,200 --> 01:36:21,160
Speaker 1: Jennet Billen said, I mean, economic extensions do not dieable dage.

1705
01:36:21,479 --> 01:36:24,320
Speaker 1: So just because we've been growing before twenty and sixteen

1706
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:26,960
Speaker 1: at a mediocre average rate of one point eight percent,

1707
01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:31,800
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that twenty nineteen or even twenty twenty mean

1708
01:36:31,880 --> 01:36:36,000
Speaker 1: recession is coming. And what do you think about interest rates?

1709
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:38,000
Speaker 1: Because obviously the President's gotten a lot of flak. You know,

1710
01:36:38,120 --> 01:36:40,200
Speaker 1: he's taken on the Federal Reserve saying that they're not

1711
01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:42,000
Speaker 1: making the right calls. And I think that there's a

1712
01:36:42,040 --> 01:36:45,360
Speaker 1: perception out there in the Trump movement that the federal

1713
01:36:45,439 --> 01:36:49,080
Speaker 1: Reserve is playing politics and that they're trying to put

1714
01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:51,960
Speaker 1: a stranglehold on this economy in advance at the twenty

1715
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:54,639
Speaker 1: twenty election. What do you think. I don't think that's accurate.

1716
01:36:54,720 --> 01:36:57,519
Speaker 1: I don't think that's accurate Harlem. But by one thing,

1717
01:36:57,600 --> 01:37:00,040
Speaker 1: I think that the SET has reached its stool and

1718
01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:04,040
Speaker 1: date that the dual mandate is of course, full employment

1719
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:07,800
Speaker 1: and inflation of two percent. Inflation has been below two percent.

1720
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:11,200
Speaker 1: We're talking core PCE for many years, and we've seen

1721
01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:15,960
Speaker 1: the past few data, past few months of data in deceleration.

1722
01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:19,000
Speaker 1: So I would definitely not agree that that Jerome Power

1723
01:37:19,280 --> 01:37:22,320
Speaker 1: or the SET is is acting on political impulse. It

1724
01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:25,679
Speaker 1: really is focused on a dual mandate. I do suspect

1725
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:28,200
Speaker 1: that we're not going to get more than one rate hike.

1726
01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:30,240
Speaker 1: If that over the course of the next twelve months,

1727
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:32,840
Speaker 1: if the Fed does hike three or four times, that

1728
01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:36,160
Speaker 1: could precipitate the next recession. I mean historic. As you

1729
01:37:36,200 --> 01:37:38,559
Speaker 1: look at the economic cycle, there's peaks and troughs. Right,

1730
01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:40,799
Speaker 1: you go to the peak and then you start to decelerate,

1731
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:43,639
Speaker 1: and then you go into recession. It's going to happen.

1732
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:47,320
Speaker 1: These are economic cycles. That's part of the economy that

1733
01:37:47,479 --> 01:37:52,600
Speaker 1: happens historically. What brings about that that inflection point is

1734
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:55,960
Speaker 1: an overly ambitious fet a feed that moves too quickly

1735
01:37:56,160 --> 01:37:59,639
Speaker 1: or too aggressively. So I agree that is a risk,

1736
01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:02,919
Speaker 1: but I would I would suspect that given the combination

1737
01:38:03,040 --> 01:38:07,479
Speaker 1: both of full employment and an inflation that's kicking up

1738
01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:10,920
Speaker 1: to that two percent target, remember the targets two percent um,

1739
01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:14,200
Speaker 1: that the fet IS doesn't have to move more aggressively

1740
01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:17,040
Speaker 1: than the one hike over the next twelve months. If that,

1741
01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:20,120
Speaker 1: I've got to ask you. So in politics, you know

1742
01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:23,320
Speaker 1: you watch TV, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, and one of

1743
01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:27,160
Speaker 1: my biggest pet peeves is that there's no accountability when

1744
01:38:27,200 --> 01:38:29,280
Speaker 1: these pundits on television. And I'm one of them, right,

1745
01:38:29,280 --> 01:38:31,479
Speaker 1: I'm a pundit on television. You go on TV two

1746
01:38:31,920 --> 01:38:34,160
Speaker 1: when when you're great? When when pundits you are to

1747
01:38:34,360 --> 01:38:37,040
Speaker 1: thank you. When pundits go on television and they prognosticate

1748
01:38:37,200 --> 01:38:39,920
Speaker 1: and then they tend they turn out to be totally wrong.

1749
01:38:40,200 --> 01:38:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean, basically ninety percent of the people that are

1750
01:38:43,400 --> 01:38:45,720
Speaker 1: on TV in advance of the twenty sixteen election, we're

1751
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:49,160
Speaker 1: absolutely totally wrong in predicting the outcome of the election.

1752
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:52,800
Speaker 1: Now there's no accountability in politics. Is there any accountability

1753
01:38:52,840 --> 01:38:55,200
Speaker 1: in terms of economics and people that are prognosticating on

1754
01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:56,920
Speaker 1: the on the on the long term outlook of the

1755
01:38:56,920 --> 01:39:00,240
Speaker 1: Accountmy I wish there was, Harlan, because really, I mean,

1756
01:39:00,320 --> 01:39:03,840
Speaker 1: the consensus was that three percent growth that was impossible.

1757
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:07,280
Speaker 1: I remember guys saying that as the outlets you mentioned impossible.

1758
01:39:07,439 --> 01:39:10,200
Speaker 1: Tax reform, I recall this. It was never going to happen.

1759
01:39:10,640 --> 01:39:13,120
Speaker 1: The consensus was tax reform was not going to happen,

1760
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:15,519
Speaker 1: NAFTA was going to be canned. We would leave the

1761
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:19,000
Speaker 1: wto Trump as an isolationist. None of that happened. We

1762
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:22,760
Speaker 1: got three percent growth. Tax reform became an all star

1763
01:39:23,400 --> 01:39:27,440
Speaker 1: major economic growth motor. Right, Tax reform has been phenomenal.

1764
01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:32,639
Speaker 1: Consumer and business confidence is at highs that we haven't

1765
01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:35,960
Speaker 1: seen in decades. Does that get covered? I don't see it, right.

1766
01:39:36,040 --> 01:39:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't see it. In fact, when I go on

1767
01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:40,360
Speaker 1: the news and I say, look, the market is selling

1768
01:39:40,439 --> 01:39:44,280
Speaker 1: off for fear. This is a sentiment driven sell off.

1769
01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:50,080
Speaker 1: There is no fundamental motor for this collapse in confidence

1770
01:39:50,200 --> 01:39:53,519
Speaker 1: in the market. Look at corporate earnings expansion, Harland, it

1771
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:56,560
Speaker 1: is up twenty five percent year over year. That's not

1772
01:39:56,880 --> 01:40:00,920
Speaker 1: just dive it in buybacks. That's not buybacks, are paying

1773
01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:06,000
Speaker 1: out dividends. That is corporations investing in themselves using the

1774
01:40:06,160 --> 01:40:09,400
Speaker 1: capax incentive. That's part of the tax reform. And I

1775
01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:11,400
Speaker 1: look at tax reform and people even say to me,

1776
01:40:11,439 --> 01:40:13,840
Speaker 1: I get this question quite a bit from clients and

1777
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:15,960
Speaker 1: from from the media as well, Well, that's a one

1778
01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:19,120
Speaker 1: and done. Tax reform is a twenty and eighteen story.

1779
01:40:19,439 --> 01:40:20,880
Speaker 1: It's not going to happen and it's not going to

1780
01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:24,960
Speaker 1: help in twenty nineteen. Economics tells you something different. There's

1781
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:28,040
Speaker 1: something called a virtuous cycle. And the virtuous cycle what

1782
01:40:28,600 --> 01:40:32,040
Speaker 1: has what happens. Cut you cut people's taxes, they feel richer,

1783
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:34,960
Speaker 1: they invest in, they spend more, They remodel their house

1784
01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:36,799
Speaker 1: or that buy that car, or they go on that vacation.

1785
01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:42,360
Speaker 1: Then corporations see that demand or for see that demand

1786
01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:46,000
Speaker 1: build up inventories. Inventories goes directly into the calculation of

1787
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:50,640
Speaker 1: US GDP. Bottom line. GDP does better, confidence continues to

1788
01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:53,880
Speaker 1: go higher, and people continue to spend an invest So

1789
01:40:54,360 --> 01:40:58,200
Speaker 1: the virtuous cycle continues, and I expect that to continue

1790
01:40:58,200 --> 01:41:00,200
Speaker 1: to be the case. Over the course of the next

1791
01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:05,240
Speaker 1: several years. So with the exception of any possible you know,

1792
01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:10,599
Speaker 1: black Swan or or other collapse and sentiment, I would

1793
01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:16,080
Speaker 1: expect this economic expansion to continue thanks to both smaller government,

1794
01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:21,320
Speaker 1: less taxes and less regulation. That was so great and insightful.

1795
01:41:21,360 --> 01:41:23,600
Speaker 1: You don't hear this many places. And uh, you know

1796
01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:25,519
Speaker 1: Larry Cublow. I love that guy. I think that he

1797
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:28,000
Speaker 1: gives great economic analysis and you might just give him

1798
01:41:28,040 --> 01:41:30,760
Speaker 1: a run for his money. So Catherine, thanks again for

1799
01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:34,200
Speaker 1: he's a great guy. Thanks again for joining me today.

1820
01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:40,880
Speaker 1: first up here, we're gonna go to George in South Carolina. George,

1821
01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:48,040
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Yeah, I'm on online. What's what? Yeah,

1822
01:42:48,080 --> 01:42:51,599
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Oh? What's on my mind? Well?

1823
01:42:51,760 --> 01:42:56,439
Speaker 1: I was just thinking that Trump wants to build a wall,

1824
01:42:56,600 --> 01:43:00,080
Speaker 1: and all the Democrats are opposed to the wall, but

1825
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:02,320
Speaker 1: it seems in the past they said they would take

1826
01:43:02,320 --> 01:43:08,560
Speaker 1: a sense and I think I think Trump should recouch

1827
01:43:09,640 --> 01:43:13,439
Speaker 1: is what he wants and call it offense. And uh,

1828
01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, potato patata, tomata tomato. His fence can be

1829
01:43:17,479 --> 01:43:24,800
Speaker 1: built identically according to the specifications of what is now

1830
01:43:24,920 --> 01:43:27,160
Speaker 1: called a wall and just call it offense. I don't

1831
01:43:27,280 --> 01:43:30,240
Speaker 1: I don't care. Yeah, you know, well a lot of

1832
01:43:30,320 --> 01:43:33,400
Speaker 1: the I just think it's the way you uh you know,

1833
01:43:33,560 --> 01:43:39,840
Speaker 1: brand it is and call it offense and wall. Well,

1834
01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:44,080
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of conservatives were resist resistant

1835
01:43:44,080 --> 01:43:46,120
Speaker 1: to the idea of calling a defense. And I think

1836
01:43:46,120 --> 01:43:49,000
Speaker 1: it's because, you know, they were used to the fences

1837
01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:53,600
Speaker 1: that Barack Obama and Democrats were building. Uh previously, they

1838
01:43:53,640 --> 01:43:56,760
Speaker 1: were easily punctured by illegals. They could just cut right

1839
01:43:56,800 --> 01:43:59,120
Speaker 1: through the steel and come through. But I mean the

1840
01:43:59,160 --> 01:44:03,760
Speaker 1: president one to build something, you know, more substantial, and

1841
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:07,320
Speaker 1: so if we just change the nomenclature, we just change

1842
01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:10,519
Speaker 1: how we describe this, that's fine with me. Once we've

1843
01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:12,240
Speaker 1: got the funds, he can do whatever he wants to

1844
01:44:12,320 --> 01:44:16,000
Speaker 1: do to build this. So I couldn't agree more. I mean,

1845
01:44:16,320 --> 01:44:18,720
Speaker 1: the basic the only thing that matters is do we

1846
01:44:18,760 --> 01:44:21,280
Speaker 1: get the funds. I mean, once the funds are there

1847
01:44:21,320 --> 01:44:23,680
Speaker 1: and they're allocated by Congress and we're not asking for

1848
01:44:23,760 --> 01:44:25,720
Speaker 1: very much, I mean, I beat this home tonight. I Mean,

1849
01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:28,840
Speaker 1: all these Democrats back in twenty thirteen voted for way

1850
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:31,880
Speaker 1: more funding than the presents asking for. They've they've voted

1851
01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:36,840
Speaker 1: for forty six billion dollars in funding for border fencing,

1852
01:44:37,080 --> 01:44:40,520
Speaker 1: forty six billion dollars, the presidents asking for a relatively

1853
01:44:40,720 --> 01:44:44,320
Speaker 1: small amount five billion. And so this idea that Democrats

1854
01:44:44,360 --> 01:44:48,640
Speaker 1: are resistant to the idea of a border wall and

1855
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:53,000
Speaker 1: border security, it's just it's just convenient. They they don't

1856
01:44:53,040 --> 01:44:54,479
Speaker 1: really mean it. And so that's the only thing that

1857
01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:56,800
Speaker 1: I might push back on is that, you know, they

1858
01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:59,160
Speaker 1: may not be sincere and that they're against the idea

1859
01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:02,040
Speaker 1: of a wall, um and would accept the fence. I

1860
01:45:02,160 --> 01:45:05,120
Speaker 1: think the president you know, couldn't move the goalpost twenty

1861
01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:08,400
Speaker 1: yards um, you know, and and they still, you know,

1862
01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:13,600
Speaker 1: would take an issue with it. Umte. Well that's what

1863
01:45:13,720 --> 01:45:18,439
Speaker 1: I think. Yeah, absolutely, and so um. And the other

1864
01:45:18,520 --> 01:45:20,519
Speaker 1: idea that we got previously was the idea of bringing

1865
01:45:20,560 --> 01:45:24,120
Speaker 1: the Army Corps of Engineers down and just reallocating funds,

1866
01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:26,960
Speaker 1: calling this an issue of national security, and the president

1867
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:29,160
Speaker 1: just decides to do it unilaterally. And if that's a

1868
01:45:29,200 --> 01:45:31,639
Speaker 1: concrete wall, the Army corp of Engineers has been building

1869
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 1: canals and digging canals and building a you know, in

1870
01:45:36,040 --> 01:45:39,840
Speaker 1: a variety of contexts for a long time. I mean,

1871
01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:42,800
Speaker 1: they are more than capable of building something that would, uh,

1872
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:46,720
Speaker 1: you know, appease our concerns about national security. So um,

1873
01:45:47,040 --> 01:45:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, if we change the name, I'm one hundred

1874
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:51,040
Speaker 1: percent down with that. And I think that Republicans and

1875
01:45:51,040 --> 01:45:53,920
Speaker 1: conservatives should just be smart and realize that doesn't matter

1876
01:45:53,960 --> 01:45:56,200
Speaker 1: that we're calling an offence. Once the president has the funds,

1877
01:45:56,240 --> 01:45:57,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna do what he wants. And then on the

1878
01:45:57,840 --> 01:45:59,640
Speaker 1: other hand, you know, if we don't get that, I

1879
01:45:59,680 --> 01:46:02,080
Speaker 1: think the president should say, you know, we're gonna reallocate

1880
01:46:02,160 --> 01:46:05,519
Speaker 1: funds from the defense budget. And with the President's done

1881
01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:09,840
Speaker 1: that is so smart is he's already dramatically increased the

1882
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:13,880
Speaker 1: size of military spending over the last two years, and

1883
01:46:13,960 --> 01:46:16,320
Speaker 1: so there should be funds there that we can find anyway.

1884
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:20,000
Speaker 1: I have enjoyed our time tonight, everybody. Thank you so

1885
