1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: Mr garbutsch Off teared down this wall. Either you're with

2
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: us or you were with the terrorists. If you got

3
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: healthcare all it, then you can keep your plan. If

4
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: you are satisfied with is not peasant of the United States,

5
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: take it to a bank. Together, we will make America

6
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: great again. It's what you've been waiting for all day.

7
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: The buck Sexton Show joined the conversation called Buck toll

8
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: free at eight four four nine hundred Buck that's eight

9
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: four four nine hundred to eight to five the future

10
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: of talk radio. Buck Sexton, Welcome everybody to the Buck

11
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Honor and a privilege to have you here

12
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: with me. I may have actually gotten this one wrong.

13
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: We'll have to see about the shutdown. I had assumed

14
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: up to this point that they would prefer to not

15
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: make a decision, to decide, to not decide something that

16
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: most politicians, most of the folks in Congress, have turned

17
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: into an art form unto itself, to delay, to defer,

18
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: to deflect, to find some explanation for why they don't

19
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: need to or can't do their jobs, but they really

20
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: want to. We are now just hours away that count

21
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: down to shut down, the shutdown show down the political

22
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: media has gotta love this, right. It creates so much trauma.

23
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: It's almost like the the super Bowl of congressional activity.

24
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: Right now, at the end of the day, it's in

25
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: and of itself, not quite as catastrophic as many would

26
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: lead you to believe. It is kind of funny, though.

27
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: I've seen throughout the day different reporters and folks that

28
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: are part of the d C media ecosystem who went asked,

29
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: all the will the post office still be open? They're like, ah,

30
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's a have to check on that one.

31
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of Wikipedia going on today

32
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: about the shutdown. Hey, look, I'm not gonna pretend that

33
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: I'm some shutdown expert, but a lot of folks out

34
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: there are realizing, like, what does it even really? What

35
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: does it even mean if the government shuts down? The

36
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: truth is that be temporary and much of the government,

37
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: or a vast majority of the government just continues on

38
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: as is, and the parts of the government that don't

39
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: will anybody will get their back pay when the government

40
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: comes back online and all the rest of it. But

41
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: you know, I did see some push back from the

42
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: Republicans today to all this that would seem like they're

43
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: getting a little more effective calling it the Schumer shutdown. Yeah,

44
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: the Schumer shutdown. At least they're making some some headway

45
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: and understanding that this is largely, uh largely an issue

46
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: of what the public believes. But some of my favorite

47
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: points about all this as we go into I'm on

48
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: area right now, and this could theoretically change as I'm

49
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: on air right there might be some last minute something.

50
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: I think it could still happen, right, I mean, unlikely,

51
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: but I would be very pleased if I could bring

52
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: to you though, They've got a four week extension of

53
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: the government budgets, which just means we're gonna have this

54
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: conversation again in four weeks, right, pretty much. Maybe they

55
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: would just decide to extend it even further beyond that,

56
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: but they don't want to take tough votes. They don't

57
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: want to get into all this. A few points of this.

58
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: The hypocrisy of the Democrats on this whole thing is

59
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: absolutely breathtaking. It's amazing. It was not long ago. It

60
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,279
Speaker 1: was not long ago that the Democrats were very opposed

61
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: to the notion of a shutdown. Remember, do we have

62
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: something from the Obama administration on how much they hated shutdowns. Well,

63
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: we got Paul Ryan talking about what they said. Here

64
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: here we go, Paul Ryan, let it rip. If we

65
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: do have a government shutdown that the Democrats insist on,

66
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: troops don't get paid. They're holding our military hostage. Children's

67
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: health insurance drives up in seven states were out of

68
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: money for their children's health insurance. The medical device tax

69
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: kicks in, so anybody getting a medical procedure that involves

70
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: a device, it's gonna pay a whole lot more for

71
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: that procedure. Those are things that are going to happen

72
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: if the Senate Democrats continue to insist on shutting down

73
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: the government. Senator Schumer said this very technic, this very

74
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: strategy a few years ago was governmental chaos. Nancy Plosi

75
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: called it Legislative Parson, this is exactly what they're doing.

76
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: And it's completely unnecessary to w old the government hostage

77
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: for something that's completely unrelated. And by the way, those

78
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: DOCA negotiations are underway. There are good faith, bipartisan negotiations

79
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: underway on DOCCA right now that have been occurring for

80
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: some time, and that deadline is not until March. So

81
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: what they're simply trying to do is hold all of

82
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: government hostage our troops, kids health insurance for a completely

83
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: unrelated issue. And I think it's shameful. I've been saying

84
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: this all week. Democrats don't want a clean funding bill,

85
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: meaning that there's no negotiation over any external issue. They

86
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: want to shut down the government on behalf of a

87
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: legal aliens. Isn't it also interesting as we sit here

88
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: and have our discussion, as we tend to do that,

89
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: I say the term illegal aliens, and I can tell

90
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: and this has even happened with some friends of mine,

91
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: even some conservatives. Oh no, buck, we're we're talking about

92
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: dreamers here. We're not talking about legal aliens. Oh but

93
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: you see, dreamers is a made up term, right. Dreamers

94
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,239
Speaker 1: is not actually a deferred action for child that arrivals.

95
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: If you want to say DOCA covered individuals, that's fine,

96
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: But dreamers is a sales term. It's a marketing term.

97
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: The real legal terminology is in fact a legal alien,

98
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: because people who are in the country without legal status

99
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: are illegal aliens. So the Democrats in the minority, without

100
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: control of the House or the Senate, are willing to

101
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: bring a portion of the government to a halt to

102
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: prevent troops from getting paid on time and to shut

103
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: down different monuments. And it's not even clear, by the way,

104
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: it is very complicated in terms of what the shutdown

105
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: mechanics are. It's not clear what would would not be

106
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: shut down because if it happens, then the government has

107
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: to make decisions about, well, how much money do we

108
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: have to keep certain things going that that's a part

109
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: of all of this. Some officers, I think federal courts

110
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: have enough money for a few weeks to keep going.

111
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: So even if the government technically shuts down, federal courts

112
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: are funded for for weeks before there's a shortfall there. Uh,

113
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: there are some other government agencies where they would pair

114
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: things back, but all keep going. But you know they

115
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: all border patrols still active, and the FBI doesn't stop

116
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: doing what it's doing. The I R s maybe put

117
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: on hold for a few days, all because of data though,

118
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: all because of the Democrats need desire fixation on getting

119
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: an amnesty for a group of illegal aliens in the country. Look,

120
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: I I understand that there there is an emotional appeal.

121
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: I understand what the argument is, but it shouldn't be

122
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: at the expense of the rest of the United states,

123
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: and if it were so, it's a great idea. I

124
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: also wonder why was it that when the Obama administration

125
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: had the House and the Senate majorities in both, they

126
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: did nothing on this. They like to keep this issue

127
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: alive without having to take decisive action on it at

128
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: a congressional level. That's why they wanted to do it

129
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: through the executive branch. That's why they wanted Obama to

130
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: just keep signing things that he doesn't you know, he

131
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: didn't care, especially in his second term. Congressionally, it is

132
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: a non starter to give a massive amnesty. That's why

133
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: they don't want to do it. People say, oh, they'd

134
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: love to sign their names to it. Maybe they would.

135
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: Right now they get a lot of good press, including

136
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: a lot of Republicans. But once we once we figure

137
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: out what I've been telling you all week, which is

138
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: that it's millions, it's millions of people, it's not eight

139
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: hundred thousand, there would be quite a change in opinions

140
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: about this. And if they're on the record voting for it,

141
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: then we could have a throw the bums out movement.

142
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: Fascinating that there's not even a DOCCA bill to vote on,

143
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: so they want to shut down the government, and they

144
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: don't even have the alternative in place. They just want

145
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: to shut down the government favor of DOCCA. That's what

146
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: this is all about. The Democrats want to do this.

147
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: They are shutting down the government while screaming the Republicans

148
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: are forcing them shutdown the government. You can't make this

149
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: stuff up, Mulvanny pointed out earlier today. He's done a

150
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: good job. I think mulvanny is a very competent, very

151
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: competent government official. He was saying, they don't even have

152
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: a bill in place. There's no DOCCA bill to vote on,

153
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: and there's no emergency in terms of the timing on DOCTA.

154
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: DOCTA does not expire until March five, so there's absolutely

155
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: no reason to tie these two things together, right, And

156
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: you got Warren Davidson making making the case saying that, look,

157
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: it's about DOCCA versus troops, and we know where the

158
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: Democrats don on this. The administration will will treat them

159
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: as they should be treated and be prioritize the right way. Um.

160
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: In fact, in the in the very short term, this

161
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: may help us solve the problem, because I think the

162
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: reality is in less when will the Senate and get

163
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: the sixty votes when they have to. And it's hard

164
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: for me to imagine that Democrats are really going to

165
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: prioritize eight hundred thousand people whose families brought them here

166
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: illegally over our troops. And yet here we are, it

167
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: looks like that's going to happen. Democrats will in fact

168
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: prioritize eight hundred thousand illegals over the troops. Um, it's

169
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: freestyle Friday, everybody, which means I'd love to take a

170

178
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: government shutdown, It looks like it's gonna happen. Take that

179
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: at any other ideas you have, We'll be back right

180
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: a half this break. Fake news better running high because

181
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show is back. So Bernie Sanders. Bernie, Hey,

182
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: Bernie was asked just a little uh while ago, earlier today,

183
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: I was asked about the shutdown. But before we get

184
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: to what Bernie said Earli day, let me remind you

185
00:11:53,280 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: all of what the uh distinguished gentleman from Vermont had

186
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: to say about government shutdowns back in have to remember

187
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: that whole mid term election happened in twelve uh and

188
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: the re election of Barack Obama and all that stuff.

189
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: There was a shutdown talk then, and Bernie Sanders and

190
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: on shutdowns, had the following to say, Republican friends in

191
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: the House are trying to annul the election that took

192
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: place last November. Some of them were shocked that Obama

193
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: one and that he won by five million votes. They

194
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: haven't gotten over it. And what they are saying to

195
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: the American people tonight is we can now bring the

196
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: government to a shutdown, throw some eight hundred thousand hard

197
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: working Americans out on the street, and we are gonna

198
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: get our way no matter what. So what's changed between

199
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: then and now, Bernie, Well, let's first ask you what

200
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: are you? What? What is what is the difference? Bernie Sanders,

201
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: And here's what he said when asked today Bernie Sanders

202
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and thirteen of the group that

203
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: was trying to figure out a way to force the

204
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: debate on Obamacare repeal. What they're saying the American people

205
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: tonight is maybe we have lost the presidential election, maybe

206
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: we've lost seats in the Senate, in the House. This

207
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: is Sanders talking that to thats thirteen. It doesn't matter.

208
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: We can now bring the government to a shutdown. Throw

209
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: some eight hundred thousand hard working Americans out on the street.

210
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: We're going to get our way no matter what. This

211
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: is exactly what the accused of Republicans of doing back

212
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: in There was absolutely no reason to have to insert

213
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: a DOCTA discussion, immigration discussion into the funding bill today.

214
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: Senator your response, all right, that doesn't sound like I'm

215
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: not I don't recall saying anything like that. Ah, he

216
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: does not recall saying it. He does not recall saying

217
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: it at all. Apparently, Well, that's an easy way to

218
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: get around the what's changed, Bernie, I don't know. I

219
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: don't remember, and and here we are now. It looks

220
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: like much has changed at all to me. Oh, remember

221
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: when Paul Ryan mentioned the legislative arsonists. Courtesy of Nancy Pelosi.

222
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: That's what she said. Shutting down the government is an

223
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: act of legislative arson she said. There are lots of

224
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: excuses that they use, but for many of them, I

225
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: call them legislative arsonists. They're there to burn down. I

226
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: think Or and Hatch had a fantastic response to Pelosi today,

227
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: although it wasn't specifically to Pelosi, but I'm going to

228
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: use it as a response that are so often played

229
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: around here. I don't mind them maybe in bills or

230
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: lesser and important in nature, but to do it on

231
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: the chip bill, my gosh, it's just it's incredible to me.

232
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: Better President, this is the greatest country in the world,

233
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: and we do have some really stupid people representing it

234
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: from time to time. Yes we do. I like it

235
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: from more on Atch, we have some stupid people representing

236
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: the country from time to time. That is That is

237
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: a true statement, no question about it. There are some

238
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: people out there who have a whole lot of authority

239
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: because they've won elections, and they are not impressive, and

240
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: this is not going to be a situation that is

241
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: good for the American people. If there's a shotdown it's

242
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: not going to be catastrophic. As I said, It's not

243
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: some huge deal. But it just goes to show you

244
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: that the Democrat Party is ideologically driven to the extent

245
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: that it is not in any way held back by

246
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: its prior statements, by the arguments of the past, by

247
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: any of that right. And another example of this that

248
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: will come to mind is when they got rid of

249
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: the filibuster for for judicial nominees and then they were

250
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: all upset at the Philip Busser for judicial nominees was

251
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: gone when they lost control of government, and we're saying

252
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: that it was terrible, and they that they would do

253
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: that for Supreme Court justices. Is Republicans doing that is terrible.

254
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: This is what we're up against, folks. I wish I

255
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: could say that there was uh some silver lining to

256
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: all this, other than Democrats have made it very clear

257
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: that their priority is legal immigrants. Now this this is

258
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: so important to them because they know that they went

259
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: on this, they went on everything else. This is zero

260
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: sum for the Democrat Party. If they get a mass amnesty,

261
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: you will never have Republican majorities. Again, it's just a

262
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: question of when the numbers really kick in. But the

263
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: Republican Party will become a shell. It will become a

264
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: an opposition party to the ruling Democrats, and one that

265
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: is really just a formality. It's not actually gonna have power.

266
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: It's not gonna have any authority because it won't have

267
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: the votes, or it will change and become something else.

268
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: The Republican Party will be just a version of the

269
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: Democrat Party and will be arguing over how best to

270
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: put government in charge of more and more of our lives. Right,

271
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: it won't be government should do less, should take less

272
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: of our money. It'll just be an issue of who

273
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: does a better job as a state is who does

274
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: a better job running things for all of us, for

275
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: all of you. So um, I want to talk to

276
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: you about the UH the memo, and later on the

277
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: show we will be joined by Andy McCarthy and National Review,

278
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: and also we will have Kim Strass of the Wall

279
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: Street Journal, two excellent writers, political analysts, just just great minds,

280
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: and we'll have them weighing in on the shutdown. The

281
00:17:54,800 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 1: UH memo that is supposed to be smoking gun level,

282
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: that's what we're told about us abuse. We'll be getting

283
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: into that in just a few moments here, h and

284
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: then also just to hear from all of you with

285
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: your thoughts on on what's going on, what's all the latest.

286
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: Oh and I will mention later on the show, we'll

287
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: talk a bit about the March for Life today. I

288
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: would feel remiss if I did not spend some time

289
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: on that too, So eight four or four buck, I

290
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: would love to chat with some of you folks out there.

291
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: What do you think about what's going on here? It's

292
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: a shame that the shutdown showdown becomes such an all

293
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: encompassing political discussion. There's some other interesting dynamics that we

294
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: could get it. Actually know what I will I want

295
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: to I want to discuss more of the immigration enforcement

296
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: side of things, because that doesn't really change regardless of

297
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: how they shut down goes or does not. I should

298
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: note that producer Quinn is telling me that there is

299
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: right now, it is likely that there will there You're

300
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: going to get a deal, that's what they're saying that

301
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: or well what's he saying now? Okay, what should be

302
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: great for the country. And also because then I would

303
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: have been right all along saying they're just gonna get

304
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: a deal and this is all nonsense, This is all

305
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: political theater. Now I'm starting to a man. I shouldn't

306
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: have doubted myself as I'm sitting here thinking, I'm like,

307
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: what are they going to get out of this? They're

308
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: not going to get it. There's no DOCCA built to

309
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: vote on, so DOCCA is not even It's not even

310
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: possible to avoid a shut down with DOCA right now.

311
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: So this was just the Democrats trying to get the

312
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: base all fired up. But it was much ado about nothing.

313
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: It was sound and fury signifying nothing. For you Shakespeare

314
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: fans out there, eight four four eight four four n

315
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: eight to five. Shut down, showdown or shut down theater.

316
00:19:42,200 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: You tell me he's holding the line for America. Buck

317
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: sex in his back Ye long and details of the meetings.

318
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: We discussed all of the major outstanding issues. We made

319
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: some progress, but we still have a good number of disagreements.

320
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: The discussions will continue. Discussions will continue. That was from

321
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: earlier today. Trump invited Schumer to talk to him. Mano amana,

322
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: I bet that was an interesting discussion. With two New

323
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: Yorkers with very very healthy egos squaring off on a

324
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: negotiation like this would have been quite interesting. I think

325
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: they have been able to sit in that discussion eight

326
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: four four buck. If you want to call in, let's

327
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: take Dan in Mansfield, Ohio. Hey, Dan, how are you doing? Man?

328
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: I'm all right, okay, keep up the good work. Thank you.

329
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm trying. Okay. I'm a sixty two year old deplorable

330
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: and proud of it. Nice word. Hey. And I think

331
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders has played too many Beatles records backwards in

332
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: his time. He's a he's you know, he's his own guy.

333
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: That Bertie Burn is an interesting character. I will say that, yeah, yes, hey,

334
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: I get the point. Get off your solar people and gone.

335
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: But yeah, everything that they're saying the Democrats is just

336
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: complete falsehood. And they're writing people really hard and trying

337
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: to get them to believe all this crap. And I

338
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: make a suggest to any of the listeners out there,

339
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 1: get with your local tea party or somebody and get

340
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: a punk pocket constitution, stick in your pocket, read it,

341
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: market make notes in it, and the next time some

342
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: liberal comes up, just whip that baby on and say

343
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: tell me where it says that. I had a guy

344
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: come in my shop one day and he was raving

345
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: and raving about separate to church and State. I said, really,

346
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: it's in the Constitution. He goes, Oh, he's in the Constitution.

347
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: So I pulled it out and still here, or show it.

348
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: Tell me. The guy hasn't been back since. So you

349
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: can shut him down pretty easy if you If you

350
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: bring out the truth, because the truth will always prevail,

351
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta bust out the Constitution. Oh yeah, absolutely,

352
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. Everybody should have a pocket Constitution

353
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: on hand. I have an app that is the Constitution

354
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: on my phone, so it's the same idea. Yeah, the

355
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: Constitution app. Because I'm cool. That's what all the cool

356
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: kids have. I'm not a cool kid. I'm a sixty

357
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: old guy. Yeah, I like the U kick at old school. Though.

358
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: The pocket Constitution doesn't have to be digital. Yeah, I

359
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: want to. I want to give a shout out to

360
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: my American Government teacher back in the early seventies who

361
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: instilled in me um, the American government, in the system,

362
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: and pride in my country. All right, Well, shout out

363
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: to that guy, and Dan, shout out to you. High five, buddy,

364
00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: have a great weekend. Thank you. Let's take jams in Georgia. Hey, James,

365
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: how you doing a buck? I'm all right, it's been

366
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: a long week, but I'm good. How about you outstanding.

367
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 1: I've been in a lot worse places, doing a lot

368
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: worse things, so I ain't complaining Tonight we go. I um,

369
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm a marine from the veterans from the Gulf War

370
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: air And what really bothers me, I think most is

371
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: that I don't understand why the riots in the Constitution

372
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: are given to folks that are not United States citizens.

373
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: Be as a Nited States citizen, you go to another country,

374
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: you break their laws, you go by their laws that

375
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: you can scream you're United States citizen all you want to. Yeah,

376
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: I would notice that you don't see these movements, James,

377
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry. I don't mean to talk what you

378
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: were saying. I said. And unless you've got some serious

379
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: pool and you break balls in another country, you're in

380
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: a hole. When we were ever sees, you're off base.

381
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: You better by by their laws or you're stuck. It's

382
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: all about politics in this country, as you know, my friend.

383
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: The problem James is that the Democrat Party has become

384
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: the Amnesty party because it benefits them, because they know

385
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: that there are a lot of votes, a lot of

386
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: votes tied to it. And so it's but with that

387
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: amnesty comes an endorsement, a day facto endorsement of lawlessness.

388
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: And so this is a deeply cynical maneuver. They keep

389
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: saying that, Okay, we need amnesty for the Dreamers, but

390
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: they want amnesty for all eleven million illegals. The Dreamers

391
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: are just the beginning of it. Right, They're not gonna

392
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: They're never gonna say that there shouldn't be amnesty for everybody.

393
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: So what's with the what's the with the pretense that

394
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: this is just about people brought here when they were kids.

395
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: This isn't this about all illegals. This is just step one.

396
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: But the plan is to get eleven million of them

397
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: to be permanent residents. Fully, you know, they have all

398
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: the full rights of any other American except maybe voting

399
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: until the Democrats control Congress in the White House and

400
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: then we'll be voting to well, guess what do you

401
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: remember how Texas were created? Yeah? Okay, the Mexican government

402
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: invited invited American settlers to come into settle Texas. Who

403
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: owns Texas? The United States? There we Joe, all right,

404
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: and James, thank you for your service, and thank you

405
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: very much. For your call, buddy, I do appreciate it. Uh,

406
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: let's take Oh we got Dr Rick in Maryland, A

407
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: Dr Rick, Hey Buck, I really would love to get

408
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: the clarity of your thought and you know from your

409
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: analyst background. Um, you know, I maybe I shouldn't, but

410
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of YouTubers and I think there's

411
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: a there's a possibility of a lot of tinfall hat

412
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: theories out there, but it looks like some the stuff

413
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: is actually coming to, uh, you know, to happen in

414
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: terms of FISA and all the indictments and stuff. And

415
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: I just you know, to get some clarity the Q

416
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: and on all this stuff. I mean, do you have

417
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: any thoughts on that or what might be actually true?

418
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: I have a I have a lot of thoughts on it, um,

419
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: and I don't as that may not surprise you. Uh.

420
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: The the issue for me right now, and we're gonna

421
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: talk to both Anie McCarthy and Kim Strassel uh from

422
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal about this later on in the show.

423
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: But the issue for me right now is I feel

424
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: like we've been a little burned by Republican members of

425
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: Congress saying that the oh gosh, you know that this

426
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: we've got the smoking gun. Now we're finally gonna get

427
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: to the truth about the real collusion, which was against Trump,

428
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: not Trump and Russia coluding together. But I do think

429
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: it's very possible that we're going to see some unsavory

430
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: stuff in this uh, in this memo. But can I

431
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: just dr Rick, I'm gonna I'm gonna put that on

432
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: a hole because that's a topic for the next hour

433
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: and also for our guests coming off. So I don't

434
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: want to get to ahead of myself. I just need

435
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: you to keep listening. Basically, how about that. Um I

436
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: listened all three hours. There we go. You're a good

437
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 1: man with excellent taste in radio. Thank you, doctor, and

438
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: he's a doctor everybody see. Thank you very much, sir,

439
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: Shield tie and have a great weekend. Larry in Johnsville, Ohio. Whatout, Larry?

440
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: Hello Buck, enjoy your shoe. I'm sorry, I'm not a doctor. Larry.

441
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: You're awesome in your own way, buddy. Thank you for

442
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: calling in. I said you are awesome in your own way.

443
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: Thank you for calling in. Okay, this government shut down.

444
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: I'd like to be in a little mouse and in

445
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: the office of the old office. When Trump and hum, yeah,

446
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: me too. I'll bet if I was Trump, I would

447
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: have held that by the page memo, just kind of

448
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: flashed it in front of him. And how bad do

449
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: you want this disclosed? Now? If you don't want to

450
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: disclosed in entirety, then get your butt back to Congress

451
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: and get your Democratic buddies to vote on this bill.

452
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 1: I like, with your heads out on this, Larry. At

453
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: least Larry is ready to play hardball. You know, larrys

454
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: not messing around. I got one of the quick point.

455
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: If I was Trump, this is a radical idea. I

456
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: would do an in run around this immigration problem. I

457
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: would get the Secretary of State in the ambassador to

458
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: Mexico and sit down and make a wrong list of

459
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: the bad inages of Mexico becoming part of New Mexico

460
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: or the fifty for fifty first state. I would also

461
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: make it a long list of the disadvantages. Number one,

462
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: there will be no money transfers from the people in

463
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: the United States, is sending money remittances, which are estimated

464
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: to be about twenty billion dollars a year of remittances,

465
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: meeting people in this country sending money back to Mexico.

466
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: That would just be one there there. Standard of living

467
00:29:49,600 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: in Mexico would greatly increase with minimum wage factory being

468
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: able to go to Mexico and build answer. I think

469
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: the advantages to the Mexican government would far out out

470
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: way the other side. No, I hear you, Larry. It's

471
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: a very interesting idea, and I appreciate the call, and

472
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: I appreciate the thought. Thank you very much, sir. Eight

473
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: four to five, eight four buck. We're gonna talk about that.

474
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: Uh fis an abuse memo the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

475
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: Was it in fact weaponized against the Trump campaign? Looks

476
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: more and more clear that it was, which is a

477
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: big deal, everybody, the big deal. Roll a new quick break.

478
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: Here we come back. We'll start to talk about that.

479
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: And also whatever else you got on your mind, let

480
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: me know and stay it. If you want a window

481
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: into the future of the immigration situation in this country

482
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: and how it will be treated, especially if you do

483
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: have a an amnesty for a seven thousand that will

484
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: grow much larger than that. I want to play for

485
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: you a pretty pretty stark It's it's chilling, I think.

486
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: Clip from the California Attorney General Javier B. Serra, who

487
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: is talking about a new law in California. Now, this

488
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: is gonna this is not like I'm not gonna sound

489
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: like like the world on fire audio in terms of like,

490
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. But just stay with me through this

491
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: for a second. Play play part one of this where

492
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: he explains this new long California go. There are new

493
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: laws in place in California now in with the advent

494
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: of I mentioned two of them, specifically A B A

495
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: four fifty and SP fifty four. A B four fifty

496
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: in particular deals with the workplace, uh in particular, and

497
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: how we go about treating the information about the workplace

498
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: and employees at the workplace by employers such that we

499
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: try to protect the privacy interests of people who work there,

500
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: and that we're not sharing information in ways that would

501
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: violate the rights the privacy rights of those individuals and

502
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: the ability of folks to work free of of coercion

503
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: and free of fear at the workplace. And so what

504
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: we're trying to just make sure is that employers are

505
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: aware that this is there is a new law in place.

506
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: And you know, the the admonition that's out there for

507
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: anyone is ignorance of the law is no excuse if

508
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: you violated. Let me tell you what he's really talking about.

509
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: This is the state attorney general for the biggest state

510
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: by population in the country, which also has by far

511
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: the largest illegal alien population in the country. He's when

512
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: he says privacy rights, he means immigration status. And what

513
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: California has done is they have, under the guise of

514
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: privacy rights, set up a byzantine set of laws and

515
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: procedures with real sanctions attached them for employers. So that

516
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: if you think that you were supposed to check someone's

517
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: immigration status or share someone's immigration status with authorities, and

518
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: and and you are in any way in violation of

519
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: these California statutes, you're in big trouble. In fact, he says,

520
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: what kind of trouble play play part two. And it's

521
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: important that employers in California and stand what these new

522
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: laws are because ignorance of the law does not let

523
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: you escape punishment. And we want our our employers, who

524
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: are working really hard to keep our economy going and

525
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: employ more folks, to understand what these new laws are.

526
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to make sure, given these swirling

527
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: rumors about what might be going on, to just be

528
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: aware of what their rights and their responsibilities are. So

529
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: is not to say if you find their employers who

530
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: have violated ATTY is your office. Are you guys ready

531
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: to go out? Are you going to prosecute If there

532
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: are violators of California lay out there. Uh, law enforcement

533
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: will investigate and prosecuting authorities could be the local prosecuting

534
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: authorities or could be the Attorney General's office will prosecute

535
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: those who violate the law. He has a lot of

536
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: gall my friend. He's saying that this is about privacy rights,

537
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: it's about illegal immigrants, it's about illegal aliens, people who

538
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: are literally in violation of federal law. And what California

539
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: has done now because of a sanctuary state, is they

540
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: have passed statutes where if you in any way and

541
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: they've tried to make it. I read through the law

542
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: last night and I was like, this is crazy. If

543
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: you check someone's immigration status and you don't have and

544
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: you're not doing exactly the way that you're supposed to

545
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: at the time you're supposed to, it's a violation. You know,

546
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: you can get big fines and you can get prosecuted

547
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: for it. Violent member privacy. When people talk about privacy rights,

548
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: if you tap somebody's phone. Yeah, no one's you know,

549
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: no one's dead because of her something. Right, But if

550
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: you tap somebody's phone, that's a felony. You can go

551
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: to prison for that. Privacy rights. If somebody puts a

552
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: camera on your home, violence your privacy rights that way,

553
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: and they're found that's a felony, they're gonna go to

554
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: prison for that. So so privacy rights is not some

555
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: oh who cares kind of a designation for this. What

556
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: California is doing is they have they're creating the a

557
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: quote right to privacy for illegal aliens to be in

558
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: the country illegally. They're trying to create state laws that

559
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: do everything possible to protect the violation of federal law

560
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: that is an illegal alien. It's amazing when you think

561
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 1: about this. They're there, they are threatening employers here. They

562
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: are specifically trying to make it harder for employers to

563
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: comply because now it's okay, well, if I pass along

564
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: information i'm not supposed to, or if I in any

565
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: way I know it sounds like buck, how complicated could

566
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: this be? Can this be very complicated? They're they're intentionally

567
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: making it difficult and complicated so that you will just

568
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: as an employer in California be like, look, I'm gonna

569
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: stay away from this. I don't want to get in

570
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: trouble with the state of California. They don't want to

571
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,720
Speaker 1: that there passing laws in California so that employers won't

572
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: be helpful to the federal government when it comes to

573
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: enforcing federal criminal law. That is what they are doing.

574
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: That's how lawless that state has become. How this hasn't

575
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: gotten more attention on When I initially saw this, I

576
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,479
Speaker 1: was I actually couldn't believe it. I went and read

577
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: sp whatever it was. I mean, I actually went and

578
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: read the statute last night and read it over a

579
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: couple of times. I thought, oh, so this is what

580
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: it has come to. Now. California is so invested in

581
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: immigration violations and is so hell bent on doing everything

582
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: that can two foster uh an environment for even more

583
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: legal immigration. I would note that they're threatening employers who

584
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: would like to be helpful to the federal government in

585
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: enforcing the law. And you got, you know, employees of

586
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: the state or the ay in various parts of California

587
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: who are saying that they'll go to prison over the

588
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: issue of legal immigration. I mean, I just want to

589
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: ask these people. Does everyone get to stay? Is it

590
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: when someone shows up tomorrow and they're not allowed to

591
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: be here and they start crying because they don't want

592
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: to go home, do they get to stay? Because I

593
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: think the answer has to be yes or else. This

594
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: is there's no principle involved here. This is just about

595
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: power politics. He's back with you now because when it

596
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops.

597
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the buck Sex and Show. There's a

598
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: last minute effort. I'm I'm seeing here two fund the government.

599
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: What that means? Who knows? We know the demo crats

600
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: are gathering behind closed doors. I think at eight thirty

601
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 1: is the plan. They're going to gather behind closed doors

602
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: and try and find some I don't know what they

603
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: think they're gonna find because they don't even have a

604
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: DOCTA bill yet. So they're gonna called together a bill

605
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: and force Republicans in the in the middle of the night.

606
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: No way, no way. It doesn't doesn't seem like, uh,

607
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: this is going anywhere. But to shut down city, my friends,

608
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: is okay. We're We're all gonna be okay. I mean,

609
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: it's hopefully something that the American people will punish the

610
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: Democrat Party for in time, because they should be punished

611
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: for it. They lost that. You know, they just lost

612
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: a big election a year ago, House, Senate, White House.

613
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: And yet they think they can just make these unilateral

614
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: partisan demands because people, This is I don't want to

615
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: put you, I don't want to overstate this, but Democrats

616
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: are essentially saying, we think enough of the American people

617
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: are either two ideologically rigid or too dumb to realize

618
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 1: that we're the ones who are shutting down the government,

619
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: and hence Republicans will get the blame. That's really a

620
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: part of this, That's really what's going on here. So

621
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: I just want to note that that no matter what

622
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 1: the Democrats say, no matter what rationalizations they come up with,

623
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: if this were such an important issue to them, they

624
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't have waited and done it in this way. And

625
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: yet the situation is, as I'm telling you, it looks

626
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: like last minute talks but still no deal. I wonder

627
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: how long the shutdown will go. I think there's like

628
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 1: a billion dollars of productivity lost a day under a shutdown.

629
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: Something like that. Um, the stock market didn't get particularly

630
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: hammered today because of it, though, people realize that this

631
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: will all it will all really be okay, and it

632
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: is bring up. I think that if the government runs

633
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: pretty okay with only essential personnel, maybe we need to

634
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: look at more of the whole non essentially non essential

635
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: personnel thing. And they're making some cuts, you know, I mean,

636
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: maybe the Department of Education doesn't really need to be

637
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 1: what it is right now. It's just just just an idea.

638
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 1: I'm just putting that out there. But there's the other

639
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: big story. And I was seeing and hearing and reading

640
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: some people who believe that today we might even get

641
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:40,479
Speaker 1: a little bit more of the validation, the affirmation of

642
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:45,439
Speaker 1: what's really included in this FISA memo. I just want

643
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: to play for you what what some of the members

644
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: of Congress out there who have access and who know

645
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 1: are saying about this. For example, here's Representative Matt Gets.

646
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: The allegations cantained in this important intelligence document go to

647
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: the very foundations of our democracy and they require an

648
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: immediate release to the public. In my opinion, I am

649
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: calling on our leadership to immediately hold a vote on

650
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: the floor of the House to make public the key

651
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: contents of this intelligence memo regarding the FBI, the Department

652
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: of Justice, and President Trump. Critical allegations, and I cannot

653
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,479
Speaker 1: stress how important they are. In the Judiciary Committee would

654
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: likely find the contents of this memo very interesting, very revealing,

655
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: and and just essential to the way our government interacts

656
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: with the duly elected president of the United States. This

657
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: is no small measure. It is just as important as

658
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: keeping the government open through the weekend, and we need

659
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: to have a vote on it immediately. Every Democrat on

660
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: the Intelligence Committee voted against making this information available to

661
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: members of Congress. Every Republican voted for it. So I

662
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: think that when it comes to who's print protecting transparency,

663
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 1: it's the Republicans. We want this information available for the

664
00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 1: American people. I really hope that we don't have some

665
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: Republican members of Congress here who are using this to

666
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: get on TV and do a little grandstanding and fundraising.

667
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: And I'm not accusing them of doing that. I just

668
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: I hope they realized that if they after all this

669
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: stuff they're saying, if the hashtag released the memo, movement

670
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: gets its way, If those of us who believe that

671
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: this memo on fights abuse should become a public publicly

672
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 1: available document. If that happens, and then it's just yeah,

673
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,240
Speaker 1: you know, there's like one percent of fights a request

674
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,919
Speaker 1: involved some level of disparity with what blah blah blah.

675
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: But you know, if it's not mac smack you in

676
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 1: the face, clear, that's something occurred here that was really problematic,

677
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: that there wasn't true mouthfeasance. This is gonna become a

678
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: boy cried wolf scenario on the Republican side. You know,

679
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,959
Speaker 1: Democrats are already guilty of that. They're not just crying

680
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 1: what they'd wolf wolf wolf for all year with Trump

681
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: and Russia. But that doesn't mean that Republicans should see

682
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 1: their credibility and start doing the same thing by overstating.

683
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure the memo says some things about civil liberties

684
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: and security and privacy that are all really interesting, But

685
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: does it make it clear that senior members of d

686
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: O Jerry FBI were conspiring to undermine the Trump campaign,

687
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: to help Hillary Clinton, and to abuse their powers in

688
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: that process, Because that's what is being alleged. That's what

689
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: people are saying. Here's Representative Raoul Labrador. What's interesting is

690
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: that this morning the Democrats decided to vote against releasing

691
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: this memo, that's number one. Number two. When I was

692
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: in the in the room, and I've heard from other

693
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: members of Congress when they were in the room, there

694
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: were no Democrats who actually came down to look at

695
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: this memo. So they were so interested in the Russia

696
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: collusion story until their Russa collusion story actually started started unraveling.

697
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: So now that we have some information that is being

698
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: provided to every member of the House, they are unwilling

699
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: to release it or to even look at it. I

700
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: think what what the American people will find is that

701
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: they're going to be shocked by this memo. Why the

702
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: harness and split in releasing a memo? Let's just play

703
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: this out a little bit. If there's really nothing to

704
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: see here, if it's not a big deal, if it's

705
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: a who cares situation, then what's the problem with releasing it.

706
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 1: Republicans want to release it. And in fact, given what

707
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: the Republicans have said about this, given the storyline this

708
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: week about how important, how potent this memo would be,

709
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 1: I would think it's in Democrat interests say yeah, you know,

710
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: what's sure, share that memo. Put it out there. See,

711
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: you guys are a bunch of clowns. There's nothing in there.

712
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: It would make Republicans look really bad, but they're voting

713
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: against releasing it, and they're trying to drag their feet

714
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: and stall. Why now, somebody was really to pin me

715
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: down and and asked me to guess. My sense of

716
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: it is that it probably is bad for Democrats, but

717
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: not as bad as we were being told it is

718
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: by Republicans. That would be my guess right now, just

719
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: because you know, you've had Devin Nunez member with the

720
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: whole unmasking situation. We heard some things about and then

721
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: never really you know, it didn't go where it where

722
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 1: it was initially indicated it was gonna go. We didn't

723
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: get that aha moment that we were told we would get.

724
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: And so I'm a little bit skeptical that this is

725
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: going to be quite as as profound as we are

726
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: being led to believe by members of Congress. But here

727
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: the basic storyline is quite clear. At this point, you

728
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: had a bunch of very powerful pro Hillary d O

729
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: J and FBI folks who figure Hillary is a shoe

730
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 1: in for the election. But why not to borrow a

731
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: phrase from one of them, take out a little insurance

732
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: use the powers that they have to do spying under

733
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: the FISA law and create a pretext and use the

734
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: dossier as a pretext for it. So legally they're covered.

735
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: Most likely right there. No, no one's going to prison

736
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: over this, no matter how bad it looks politically. I

737
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: think it's very unlikely and it's gonna go to prison.

738
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 1: As I've talked to you about before on the show. Uh,

739
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: they would be abusing their discretion to help out Hillary.

740
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: The upside of that would have been that if they

741
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: got something that was remember the Kissel Jack Flynn conversation

742
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: leaked the media, I mean illegal classified leaks occurred, all

743
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: of them anti Trump, none of them pro Trump, none

744
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: of them anti Hillary. I would note as well. So

745
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 1: there is a cabal. There is some crew, there's some

746
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: group inside DJ and FBI that are playing games, including

747
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: crossing the line into criminality to hurt Trump. That's established.

748
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: That's a fact. So you figure that these these folks,

749
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: the cabal we will call them, or the deep state,

750
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: same idea, the deep state cabal. There you go. They

751
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:40,439
Speaker 1: figure if they get something good enough, they can completely

752
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,479
Speaker 1: deep six the Trump campaign, right, they can take it out,

753
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: finish finish it off before the election even happens, And

754
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: even if they don't get anything, there's a chance that

755
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: nothing ever happens, and no one's all the wiser because

756
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: Hillary will win, and and you know who's gonna raise

757
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 1: an issue, then they're not gonna be in a position

758
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: to raise the raise the issue. D o J the

759
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: first thing Hillary was gonna do if she won. Well,

760
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: I mean, she probably keeps a lot of the Obama

761
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: pointees a d o J. But anybody who was even

762
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: a little bit disloyal to Hillary was gonna get ousted

763
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,240
Speaker 1: from d o J. Right. She was gonna just get

764
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: rid of anyone in the Justice apparatus who could be

765
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: a problem for make sure she had loyalists everywhere. You're

766
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: gonna have Hillary loyalists if she wins, and there's just

767
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: never it's just never gonna come out. Just like with

768
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: her with her email server, everyone says, now, oh, why

769
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: would she be so reckless and so dumb if you

770
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 1: don't have a couple of real fluke situations there, you know,

771
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: with the whole couture for hacking, and it was never

772
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: gonna come out that she had this server. We were

773
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:55,800
Speaker 1: never gonna know about it, and Trump's victory has to

774
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: be viewed from the perspective of the FBI, da J

775
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: people as a fluke as well. It was just too

776
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: tempting two try and uh run some kind of in

777
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 1: anti Trump pro Hillary operation and used discretion from within

778
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: the national security apparatus, specifically a d O G N

779
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,879
Speaker 1: FBI to do it. Does anyone doubt by the way

780
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: you see some of these very senior Obama pointees Clapper

781
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 1: Brennan call me, I know, co me is not necessarily

782
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: just in you know, it's you know what I mean?

783
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: Though a lot of pro Sally Yates are a lot

784
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: of very clearly pro Clandon, pro Obama people have been

785
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: exposed from the top echelon of the national security apparatus.

786
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: So why is it in any way surprising that some

787
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: of them may have said, you know what, we might

788
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: be able to do something really helpful for Hillary here

789
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: and do it in a way that worst worst case scenario,

790
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: we get fired, they'll be They'll be here, are still left.

791
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: That's what I don't think a lot of people are

792
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: prepared for here. Even if it is a smoking gun situation. Look,

793
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: if it is what people are being led to believe

794
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,919
Speaker 1: it is right, this memo, they'll release the memo movement.

795
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: That's what everyone's talking about today. If it shows, if

796
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: it shows that the dossier was the basis for this

797
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:21,280
Speaker 1: whole Russia collusion thing, in a whole or in large

798
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: part or substantially, it means that the media the Democrat

799
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: Party are in for a very rough couple of years here.

800
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: But for the individuals that may have engaged in the conduct,

801
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, the worst thing that happens is they

802
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: get fired, they step down from the d O, J

803
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 1: n FBI jobs. They're not going to jail. It's not

804
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: gonna happen because they would have known exactly what to do,

805
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 1: so that on a worst case basis, they're unethical but

806
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:57,399
Speaker 1: not necessarily illegal, and they will be lionized on the left.

807
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: They'll get big book advance. It's hashtag resistance tattooed on

808
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 1: one arm, travel around, go to all the different universities

809
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: and colleges and everything, and talk about how they were

810
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: standing up and fighting against Trump. Look, i mean, Chelsea

811
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: Man who's running for Senate as a Democrat for Havn's sakes, right,

812
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: I mean, come on you really, that's what I wanted

813
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: them to be prepared for. You don't think that the

814
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: Democrats if this all gets exposed, and you know what

815
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: the other storyline will be. This is really it's gonna

816
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: give you an digestion before the weekend. But I have

817
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 1: to tell you, if the memo is the bombshell, if

818
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 1: it's you know, senior FBI Guy one speaking to senior

819
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: FBI d o J Guy two and three, and and

820
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 1: they're saying, we gotta take Trump down, we gotta finish

821
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: off his campaign, we gotta you know, what really happens

822
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: with all this the Mullark probe continues. The left will say, Okay,

823
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: they only did that because they were they had other

824
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: reason to believe that the Russia probe was necessary, that

825
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 1: the Russia uh collusion was going on. So now we've

826
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 1: really got to get to the bottom of this. They're

827
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 1: not going to abandon the narrative. That's what I think

828
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 1: is so disappointing. If you really play this out, even

829
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: if fines it was abused. Yeah, look, they're gonna take

830
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: a big hit and they don't want people to know this,

831
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 1: and it would be an enormous scandal. And I get

832
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:21,399
Speaker 1: all this, but the media will pivot because they are

833
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: shameless and they are liars. They will pivot immediately to Okay, well,

834
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: those people messed up. But the reason they messed up

835
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: wasn't because their partisan hacks with no ethics, but because

836
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: they knew of the Russia collusion with Trump and they

837
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: had to do something about it. So now we have

838
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: to really find that collusion. I know it makes my

839
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: head explode to but think about it. You know, I'm

840
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 1: telling you that's the way it's gonna go. From the

841
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: media perspective. People in government, they're gonna get they're they're

842
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,439
Speaker 1: gonna get fired if this is what happened. But eight

843
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,839
Speaker 1: four or four to five, what do you think about

844
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: this memo situation? My friends released the memo isn't gonna happen.

845
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:12,760
Speaker 1: Got a lot more will be right back. I'm Senator

846
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: Donnelly's now indicated to hev voting for it. So it

847
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: sounds like there are some some Democrats, especially Democrats and

848
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,760
Speaker 1: in some red states the President Trump Carrey, who are

849
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 1: taking a longer look at this and as the day

850
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 1: goes on understanding what's at stake here. Well, what's at

851
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: stake here is the government shutdown. As you already know,

852
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 1: and Democrats seemed to really want to push it to

853
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,879
Speaker 1: that and state that's the outcome that I think we're

854
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: gonna get here. Uh. Steve in Mississippi, what's up, Steve? Hello, sir, Steve, buddy,

855
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: We're not We're not hearing you, all right, I guess

856
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,280
Speaker 1: we gotta move on. John in Atlanta, Welcome to freedom?

857
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:04,919
Speaker 1: What sir? Hey Buck podcast opinion checking in. Oh good,

858
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 1: talk to you. Thank you. That's what I say every

859
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,320
Speaker 1: time I call you guy by the way, podcast, And

860
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 1: I know I recognized the voice. So what's in your

861
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: mind today? A couple of observations in a movie quote,

862
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: if you want one, whatever you want, buddy, all right? Well,

863
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: first off, have you seen some of the insanity coming

864
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 1: from the transgender movement where they say not everyone who

865
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: has a period as a woman. Have you ever heard

866
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: him say stuff like that? Yeah? I have heard them

867
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: say stuff like that. I used to think they were

868
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 1: crazy until I heard Corey Booker, and now I kind

869
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: of believe them. H m hm, what else on your mind?

870
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: I thought that was funny. Okay, here's the observation. So

871
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: Trump allegedly says s whole Um Cotton, Tom Conton, he

872
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:54,720
Speaker 1: didn't say it, and Tom Conton's an honorable man, Dick Durbin,

873
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: who's a worm, that he did it. So he says

874
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: s whole and the world goes crazy. Trump's are racist

875
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: and everything. Two days later, Chuck Schumer says, we have

876
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 1: to fix Dockas so these people aren't thrown to the wolves.

877
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:13,439
Speaker 1: Who are the wolves? Obviously Mexican people. Right, No, that's

878
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:18,760
Speaker 1: not what he meant. Come on, when he says throwing

879
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:20,760
Speaker 1: to the wolves, he meant that in the rhetorical sense

880
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:24,919
Speaker 1: of like they you know, like they're being screwed over,

881
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: and I he didn't. He wasn't referring to Yeah, but

882
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,439
Speaker 1: he's going to know. What I'm saying is using their

883
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 1: logic against them. Yeah, but it wasn't he meant it

884
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 1: as a as a phrase. It wasn't. All right, John,

885
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: I'm but thank you, John, I'm I'm gonna, I'm gonna

886
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it today. I'll get you back another

887
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: time when we're a little more in sync with what

888
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 1: the what's going on here? All right? Well, I might

889
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: have thin I might have Greek food tonight. That sounds

890
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 1: like fun. What do you think get a euro on

891
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 1: the way home. I lived in Greece for a month

892
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: over summer. Was it six weeks? It's a fun place

893
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: because the good just thinking out loud here, folks. The

894
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: weekend is I got Friday show weekend itis right now.

895
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 1: I need to everybody's working for the weekend, especially the

896
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: Freedom Hund right now, my friends, um do give us

897
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: a ring eight four or four eight to five. We've

898
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: got Andy McCarthy coming up in a little bit. We're

899
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: talking to the man himself about what he thinks about

900
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: this whole release the memo situation, and also some other

901
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: cases that are making their way through the courts or

902
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 1: one case will be retried in the court shortly. We've

903
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: got Kim Strasso coming up later this hour, shall be

904
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: joining us to talk about the shutdown, because it's just

905
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: the shutdown is taking up all the oxygen in the

906
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: room right now, and there's not really much the way

907
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 1: of other stories out there. Although I did see something

908
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 1: about how Trump Trump wanted he once said that he

909
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: wanted all sharks to die. That's a story that I saw.

910
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, and Trump wanted all sharks to die,

911
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 1: and you know I don't I don't put sharks in

912
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: that category. But I do put mosquitoes in that category,

913
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: and I know they're like a necessary part of the ecosystem.

914
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 1: But that's where we are now as a as a country.

915
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: People are doing stories about which animals Trump doesn't like.

916
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: We'll get into some more stuff in just a few

917
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 1: other shows. Just talking to you in the Freedom Hud.

918
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: We have a mission. We fight for the truth in

919
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: a team effort and buck us back with our next play.

920
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm not prepared to say it was intentional collusion. I've

921
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 1: not seen any evidence of that. Do you have evidence

922
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: that there was in fact collusion between Trump associates and

923
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: Russia during the campaign. Not at this time, I've seen

924
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: no evidence. Have you seen any evidence that this dirt

925
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 1: emails were ever given to the Trump campaign? Not so far,

926
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: not so far that you hadn't seen evidence of collusion,

927
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: any evidence to you of money laundering by the Trump organization.

928
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 1: He did not provide evidence. We did not include any

929
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 1: evidence in our report that had anything that had any

930
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: reflection of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and

931
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: the Russians. There was no evidence of that included in

932
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: our report. I understand that, but doesn't exist, not to

933
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: my knowledge. So that's a whole bunch of different folks

934
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 1: may get it pretty clear they got nothing when it

935
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 1: comes to collusion. And here we are grinding on into

936
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: year two. We've got a big investigation going. I think

937
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: I saw that from a reporter at NPR. So take

938
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: that for what it's worth. That a single session in

939
00:59:55,160 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 1: front of the Mueller Council, you know, special counsel when

940
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: you are being questioned, costs like thirty dollars with a

941
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: legal team. That's the estimate. So it's not like this

942
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 1: is all happening and people aren't really being put through

943
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: the wringer, and that this is just something that goes

944
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: along and you know, in the end we'll get to

945
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 1: the truth. They've already brought charges against people for very

946
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: much mickey mouse level crimes and crimes that in some

947
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 1: cases would never have occurred had it not been for

948
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: the investigation. Process crimes, um, and I really don't need

949
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 1: to be like, I don't like getting lectured about how

950
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 1: well tell the truth. You know, process crimes are real crimes.

951
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: Right when we all still remember that Hillary Clinton was

952
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: its was obviously kept out of the kind of jeopardy

953
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 1: that Mueller is trying to put all these other Trump

954
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 1: people into so yeah, we're just it's gonna keep on

955
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 1: grinding on. I was bose, I look, I hope this

956
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 1: memo really, I hope this memo nails it and we

957
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: get to the truth and we can all just the

958
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: story is getting to be tedious on top of destructive.

959
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: It is now becoming a tedious story. And when the

960
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: when the media feels so desperate that they'll run around

961
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 1: with like, oh no it wasn't it wasn't Carter Page,

962
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 1: it was Papadopoulos. That's how it all got started. No, no, no, oh,

963
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: I was in the intelligence community for a little bit,

964
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 1: as those of you listen to the show, No and

965
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: that you would get an FBI investigation of a presidential

966
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 1: campaign based on what some guy that was low level

967
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 1: uh said to somebody in a bar about something he

968
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: heard somewhere. It's not how it works. It's not how

969
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 1: it works. That would that would be much much bigger deal.

970
01:01:53,400 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Let's take uh Jason in Mississippi Gulfport. Hey, Jason, Hey there, sir, Hey, sir, yes, sir.

971
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: Let's main Can you hear me now? Yes we can.

972
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: My main talking point is a backpedal, a tidbit to

973
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 1: where you mentioned the Californian laws that will prosecute employers

974
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 1: for releasing what they would consider private information about the employees.

975
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 1: But isn't it's still a valid disruption of the law

976
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: to employee people under a illegitimate immigration status. Wouldn't they

977
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 1: be harboring harboring say a fugitive of the state, or

978
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 1: more or less something along those lines. Yeah, it's it's

979
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 1: a violation of it's a violation of law to employ

980
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 1: in the legal alien. Yes, but it's a violation of

981
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 1: federal law, not state law. But wouldn't that be a

982
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 1: contradiction between the federal and state level? Well, what do

983
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,919
Speaker 1: you mean by contradiction? Well, do you have a law

984
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 1: that says, if you break it, we will find you

985
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 1: for releasing the public information? You have another law of

986
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: saying you employed a illegal alien, we will now punish

987
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: you for that. So, uh, for the lack of the

988
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 1: better you're you're condemned either way. You go, Well, but

989
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: you see that the way that they're structuring the law

990
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 1: in California has to do with, uh, the notification procedures, right, So,

991
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 1: and what they're really just trying to do is scare people,

992
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 1: because I read through the statute, I'm like, wait, what

993
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 1: is this even saying? There's a specific portion of the

994
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 1: statute that that talks about when you can even inquire

995
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: about somebody's immigration status. So what they're trying to do

996
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 1: is make it so that for an employer in California

997
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 1: right now, if you say, hey, wait a second, guys,

998
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm worried there's a crackdown coming. Everyone here's everyone here

999
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 1: is legal, right if you're out of the cycle of

1000
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 1: when they're you're supposed to ask if there hasn't been

1001
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 1: a specific federal request for their status, or if you've

1002
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 1: already checked their status and you go to recheck it,

1003
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 1: that was one of them too. So if they provided you,

1004
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: let's say, with a fake Social Security card and when

1005
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 1: California can get a driver's license, either you're illegal. If

1006
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: they provided you with fake documents and you wanted to

1007
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 1: check them again, I believe that could be a violation

1008
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: of this California statute. So they're just trying to put

1009
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 1: roadblocks up and and use threats to prevent people from

1010
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: understanding what the immigration status is of of individuals and

1011
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 1: their employed. Do you see what I'm saying? So it's

1012
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: that's a separate issue from the enforcement of federal immigration

1013
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 1: laws as it pertains to an illegal alien in the country. Right,

1014
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 1: Immigrations and Customs enforcement has to come and take a

1015
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: legal alien and deport them. There's no state agency that

1016
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 1: does that. So this is where you get into the

1017
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 1: differences between state and local law enforcement and federal law enforcement.

1018
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 1: Does that make and now, now, I mean if it's confusing,

1019
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: it's that's one I find it confusing. Do you mean

1020
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 1: that the separation between the federal level and the state

1021
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 1: level allow each one to operate autonomously. Well, remember that

1022
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 1: the courts upheld the courts upheld that the Obama administration

1023
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: could prevent the state, in this case Arizona from helping

1024
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 1: in the enforcement of immigration laws. And so now California

1025
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: is passing laws to prevent to prevent the state from helping. Right, So,

1026
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: Arizona wanted to help federal immigration enforcement, and the Obama

1027
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 1: administration said, no, you're not allowed to do that. That's

1028
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 1: only our thing, and the courts actually sided with them,

1029
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 1: which was annoying in California, they're passing laws. The President

1030
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 1: hasn't corrected that issue. Yeah, in California, they're passing laws

1031
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 1: that say it's illegal for you to try and help

1032
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:54,200
Speaker 1: UH immigration enforcement under these circumstances. That does that kind

1033
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 1: of make sense? I know, it's it's it's one of

1034
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 1: those laws that have is there for one purpose, and

1035
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 1: one purpose only is to other a condemned people that

1036
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 1: want to do the right thing and fix the US

1037
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 1: as as an upcoming and moving area. But we'll get

1038
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 1: penalized or were penalized for it too. Yeah, I mean

1039
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 1: it is. It's it's a law that is passed in

1040
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: bad faith, at least in the perspective of federal law

1041
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: and the rule of law in this country. But Jason,

1042
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: thank you very much for calling in Richard Mississippi. You're

1043
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 1: up next, sir. What's going on? Yeah? Buck, damn what

1044
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 1: I've never heard you so down about what's going on.

1045
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 1: You don't think Devin Noons when he went and read

1046
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 1: all the stuff find out what we're going on, and

1047
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 1: the Democrats have packed them so viciously, you don't think

1048
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: he started building the case right then? That's a fair point.

1049
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: I mean you could say that he got the ball moving. Sure. Well.

1050
01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: I firmly believe that the mayor people want to know

1051
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 1: what was done. I'm hoping, Richard, that it's I'm hoping

1052
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: that it's bombshell, smoking gun, you know, political nuclear explosion,

1053
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: so to speak. I'm hoping it's big stuff. I'm just saying,

1054
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 1: if it's not, there's gonna be there's gonna be a

1055
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 1: cost to that, because we've been led to believe it's

1056
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 1: really big. I hope it is. I think it could be.

1057
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 1: I believe is a very smart man. And when they

1058
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: started attacking him, he just quietly, if you noticed, he

1059
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 1: just quietly went away and started building a case. And

1060
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 1: when he had the case, that's when he came back.

1061
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 1: He surfaced again with the goods. Look, I hope you're

1062
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 1: right and to release the memo. Movement gets its way, Richard,

1063
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 1: have a great week. Week, and my friend, and thank

1064
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 1: you for your your input into what's going on here.

1065
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. We're gonna be rolling to a break

1066
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 1: here shortly. We have Kim Strassel of the Wall Street

1067
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: Journal who will be joining us. Kim is always a

1068
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 1: great guest, very very insightful. We got a lot to

1069
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 1: say on all of this stuff, and I guess I

1070
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 1: won't spend much more time on how Trump doesn't like sharks,

1071
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 1: but I kind of understand that. I just I'm going

1072
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: back to that for a second. No sharks a little scary.

1073
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 1: I know there a lot of pro shark people out there.

1074
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 1: They're beautiful animals that you know are necessary for the

1075
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 1: world or whatever. But you're seeing a shark up close

1076
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: a little scary. I haven't seen one, but I'm told

1077
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 1: they're scary. Kim Strassle of The Journal coming up, and

1078
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 1: then Andy McCarthy of Nash Review right after that, and

1079
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the March for Life and we'll close

1080
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 1: it up. So stay with me, all right. So it's

1081
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 1: the Shutdown Showdown. As we've been saying, we are in

1082
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: the final hours here, and I wanted to get a

1083
01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:00,719
Speaker 1: sense of the political dynamics from somebody who can speak

1084
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 1: with expertise, eloquence and insight into just that. We have

1085
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: Kim Strassel with us now Wall Street Journal columnist, remember

1086
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 1: the editorial board there, and just writes great stuff. Kim,

1087
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,719
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us, Thank you Buck

1088
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 1: and for such a nice introduction, but but of course

1089
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 1: absolutely earned. So tell me this, Kim, what are democrats?

1090
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:26,839
Speaker 1: What do they think they're doing here? They think they're winning,

1091
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 1: and um, you know, maybe they are. It's a big bet.

1092
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 1: Look what they're betting is that if they shut this down,

1093
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 1: the Republicans take the blame, because, as you and I

1094
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 1: both know, is a general rule of thumb that Republicans

1095
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:43,720
Speaker 1: always get blamed for shutdowns, whether they are in the

1096
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 1: White House out of the White House, uh, in Congress

1097
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: out of Congress. Um. So they had an opportunity here.

1098
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:53,679
Speaker 1: They could either go into this mid term here and

1099
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 1: try to give some things to their constituents by working

1100
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 1: with this present or they could when the resistance movement

1101
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,720
Speaker 1: try to blame Republicans first shutdown. Add that to a

1102
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 1: general campaign theme going on that is that this is

1103
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 1: a chaotic Republican Congress that can't accomplish anything, and then

1104
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 1: try to beat on that all the way until they

1105
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 1: get majorities in the House and the Senate. So even

1106
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:23,679
Speaker 1: though anybody paying attention and and looking at the facts

1107
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: honestly can tell that there's nothing about the offers thus

1108
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: far on the table, about the cr that Democrats object to,

1109
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: they're just not getting an additional thing they want. They

1110
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 1: are in the minority now as a political party. But

1111
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:39,519
Speaker 1: because you need sixty votes in the Senate to get

1112
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: any budgetary measure through. They are holding this whole thing up.

1113
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 1: Makes me think, why do we need sixty votes for

1114
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,600
Speaker 1: budgetary measures? I mean, whose idea is this? Kim? I

1115
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 1: feel like I think maybe we should rethink this one. Yeah.

1116
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:53,720
Speaker 1: I mean, look, let's look at this. The Democrats do

1117
01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: not object to anything that's in the CR. Okay, the

1118
01:10:57,040 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: CR impact contains things that Democrats view as their own priorities,

1119
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:05,040
Speaker 1: like the funding for children's healthcare. Uh. Democrats are demanding

1120
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:08,680
Speaker 1: something which is immigration reform that Republicans have said that

1121
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 1: they're going to do anyway. Uh. We still have six

1122
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 1: weeks until the DOCCA deadline. UM. And by the way,

1123
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 1: there isn't even a DOCTA bill to vote on. And

1124
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 1: I think all of that shows very clearly that this

1125
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 1: is about politics. They don't really have any policy objections. Now,

1126
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 1: I give the Republicans some credit. I think they have

1127
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:34,719
Speaker 1: been better about getting their message out uh and and saying, look,

1128
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 1: we passed this through the House. It's going to be

1129
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 1: the Democrats who do this via a filibuster. Um. But

1130
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 1: a lot of Americans don't understand that process. And the

1131
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 1: press corps we saw today with the press briefing that

1132
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 1: you had with McK mulvaney. Um that the Democrats are

1133
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:57,640
Speaker 1: intent on making this Trump's fault. And I guess they

1134
01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 1: just assumed that enough of the American public either won't

1135
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: be paying close enough attention or is not familiar enough

1136
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 1: with the congressional procedures here, that somehow Democrats will will

1137
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 1: come out on on top of this despite everything else. Um,

1138
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:13,599
Speaker 1: we're speaking of Kim Strass and everybody Wall Street Journal columnists.

1139
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 1: You should go to a w s J dot com

1140
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,719
Speaker 1: Wall Streetjournal dot com to read her latest. Uh. And

1141
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:21,880
Speaker 1: she's got the dossier rehab campaign up there, which I

1142
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 1: want to talk to Kim about right now. Kim, Uh,

1143
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 1: what's going on with the dossier? You're you're following this

1144
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:32,479
Speaker 1: very closely. I feel like there's no reasonable explanation out

1145
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 1: there for why the American public should not, in short order,

1146
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 1: not in six months, not in a year, weeks, if

1147
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 1: not a week, be able to see at least a

1148
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 1: redacted version of what this FISA involved memo is all about.

1149
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:50,640
Speaker 1: That we've been told about by members of Congress. This

1150
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:54,360
Speaker 1: week is a bomb show. Yeah, there is absolutely no reason,

1151
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 1: in fact, more than that I would. I would make

1152
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 1: the case that is imperative that they do see it

1153
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:02,679
Speaker 1: because we have been doing this now for eighteen months

1154
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:07,480
Speaker 1: with Republicans claiming that there is a conspiracy within the FBI,

1155
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:10,639
Speaker 1: that they misbehaved, they abused their power. Uh, and we've

1156
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 1: had some evidence that that was the case, and then

1157
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: Democrats on the other side saying no, no, there's a

1158
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 1: Trump Russia collusion. Well, there is a very simple way

1159
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 1: to get closer to the bottom of this, and that's

1160
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 1: just open it up and let's see what the FBI

1161
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 1: really had. Did they believe in the sources that were

1162
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 1: behind the dossier? Did they even check them, did any

1163
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,760
Speaker 1: of it ever check out? What did they represent to

1164
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:37,800
Speaker 1: affise a court or misrepresent to affise a court? Was

1165
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:41,759
Speaker 1: this a legitimate spying operation on the Trump campaign, Because

1166
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:44,599
Speaker 1: that's a pretty big thing and they better have had

1167
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,760
Speaker 1: some really solid reasons for doing it. Kim, What are

1168
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 1: you hearing from your sources or perhaps from your colleagues,

1169
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: and just based on their assessment of what their sources

1170
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 1: are telling them over the journal about is it really

1171
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 1: are we convinced it a bombshell? Right? Whether it gets

1172
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 1: released in part or an hole. That's another component of

1173
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 1: this which we're just talking about. But have you heard

1174
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 1: from people who have who know I mean, well, what's

1175
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 1: your confidence level that this is going to be information

1176
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 1: that we are gonna say, Wow, we really need to

1177
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 1: know this versus oh, you know, here's a lot of

1178
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:21,600
Speaker 1: the congressional stuff. It's a it's a big promise and

1179
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 1: not a lot of follow through. I am absolutely convinced

1180
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 1: that what Devin Newness, the head of the House Intelligence Committee,

1181
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 1: has said, is accurate in that he has basically said

1182
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:36,080
Speaker 1: that what is in here is highly disturbing, uh and

1183
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 1: it will show abuse of the FISA law, and which

1184
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:42,679
Speaker 1: is the and the part of the law in FIS

1185
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:46,719
Speaker 1: I should say that allows the US government under very

1186
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 1: close restrictions to spy on U. S citizens. And so

1187
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 1: if he says there's abuse there, then there is. Because

1188
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 1: Devin Newness, he takes a lot of incoming from different people.

1189
01:14:57,439 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 1: But I would point out that he has yet to

1190
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 1: be wrong on anything that he is alleged. She's been

1191
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 1: proved correct on all of it, the unmasking and everything else.

1192
01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:08,800
Speaker 1: I get a little bit more nervous when you see

1193
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 1: the congressman running out and popping off to say there

1194
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 1: will be people in handcuffs. UM. I don't know if

1195
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 1: it potentially rises to that level, and I think they

1196
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:24,800
Speaker 1: ought to be careful about suggesting that. Um, But there

1197
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:28,200
Speaker 1: is no question that there was abuse in America. Needs

1198
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:31,320
Speaker 1: to see what it was. Kim Strassl of the Walster Journal,

1199
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 1: everybody go check out our latest at WSJA dot com. Kim,

1200
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 1: have a great weekend. Rest up. We're gonna need you

1201
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,679
Speaker 1: back on the airwave soon when we get the actual

1202
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 1: memo released, alright or sooner. Thanks, Kim, have a good one.

1203
01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 1: You know this is this is not complicated in terms

1204
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:55,840
Speaker 1: of the American public's uh not just right, But I mean,

1205
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:58,680
Speaker 1: I would say there's a there's an obligation that the

1206
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:03,160
Speaker 1: government has to finally come clean with what's been happening here.

1207
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:06,520
Speaker 1: When you think about how much time is being wasted,

1208
01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:08,960
Speaker 1: not just by the media, you could argue maybe that's

1209
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 1: a good thing right there, just because if they weren't

1210
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,880
Speaker 1: wasting time on this over at CNN and MSNBC, they'd

1211
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 1: find some other subject to dive into and escalate and

1212
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 1: make a huge deal of. But you could argue that

1213
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 1: this need that there's an obligation here that superseds anything

1214
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 1: else that I can think of. Oh, the secrecy of

1215
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:33,480
Speaker 1: of a of a particular fins A warrant fine redact

1216
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 1: the bare minimum to protect sources and methods. But we

1217
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 1: need to see this, we really really do. They got

1218
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:42,840
Speaker 1: Annie McCarthy joining in just a few minutes here to

1219
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 1: uh follow up with a bit more on that, as

1220
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 1: well as some other cases that are making their way

1221
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 1: through the courts. So team, I'll be right back. So

1222
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:55,599
Speaker 1: we are expecting something big at some point to uh

1223
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:59,799
Speaker 1: to drop here in the whole Russia collusion, fusion gp

1224
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:05,480
Speaker 1: US extravaganza, all this talk about a memo about FIESA.

1225
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 1: But where are we right now with what we know

1226
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 1: and what's a realistic expectation about what we could find

1227
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 1: out based upon this memo that has not yet been

1228
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 1: redacted and released. We've got Andy McCarthy online to help

1229
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 1: us think about all that stuff. Andy's a bestselling author,

1230
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:25,680
Speaker 1: contributing editor National Review, former assistant U S attorney. And

1231
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:28,640
Speaker 1: you're great to have you, great to be with you.

1232
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:30,519
Speaker 1: So well, what do you make of all this? There's

1233
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:32,280
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of hubbub, a lot of

1234
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 1: chatter a lot of rument out there about this memo

1235
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:41,479
Speaker 1: that talks about fies abuse, and we don't know much

1236
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:43,680
Speaker 1: more than that. But what what are you what are

1237
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 1: you working from in terms of your your assumptions and

1238
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: analysis about this right now? Well, I think Buck that

1239
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: we're what we're seeing is an unfolding process that will

1240
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 1: eventually result in the public being informed about exactly what

1241
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:03,920
Speaker 1: happened with a Stasi A. So I think I've looked

1242
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 1: into in the last couple of days. Um, the power

1243
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:15,679
Speaker 1: that Congress has two disclosed classified information, which is something

1244
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 1: of a um A sort of an untested area. There

1245
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 1: are you know, court precedents and rules that suggest, uh,

1246
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:28,640
Speaker 1: you know, some of them suggest that this is a

1247
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:32,360
Speaker 1: complete planary responsibility of the executive branch, that no one

1248
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 1: other than the president really has this power. And then

1249
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 1: there are other cases that cut in the other direction,

1250
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:42,720
Speaker 1: and there are congressional procedures and some congressional precedent for

1251
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: at least putting a lot of pressure on the executive branch,

1252
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 1: if not necessarily directing the executive branch uh to disclose information.

1253
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 1: So bottom line is, um, what would have to happen

1254
01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 1: is the committee would have to recommend that some classified information.

1255
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:07,120
Speaker 1: And here specifically, what we're talking about was, how, if

1256
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 1: at all, was this dossier, which is a Clinton campaign

1257
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:18,640
Speaker 1: UH opposition research project, how was it used UH in

1258
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,640
Speaker 1: an affidavit or an application to the FISI court to

1259
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:26,800
Speaker 1: get permission to do electronic surveillance on people connected to

1260
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:29,920
Speaker 1: the Trump Cane campaign at least Carter Page and maybe

1261
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:32,840
Speaker 1: other people as well. And I think what would have

1262
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 1: to happen is the committee would have to recommend that

1263
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:40,040
Speaker 1: that would then go to the full House UH to

1264
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 1: vote on it, and then it would be referred to

1265
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 1: the President as basically UH something along the lines of

1266
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:51,400
Speaker 1: a stern request, if not a demand, that that the

1267
01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 1: information be released. And at that point, I don't know

1268
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:57,800
Speaker 1: why Trump wouldn't release it, because it's actually in his

1269
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 1: interest to do it. Are there any procedural ways that

1270
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:05,040
Speaker 1: that you're aware of any that Democrats on a strictly

1271
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:09,360
Speaker 1: partisan basis could prevent the release of this via this

1272
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:12,679
Speaker 1: mechanism you're talking about with Congress, Yeah, I don't think

1273
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 1: they have the numbers to do it. Buck, I think

1274
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:20,000
Speaker 1: that if the Republicans stick together on this, they shouldn't

1275
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:23,160
Speaker 1: have the votes to do it. And frankly, you know,

1276
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: I think it looks really bad for the Democrats. Not

1277
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 1: that I'm you know, who am I to be given

1278
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:33,840
Speaker 1: them advice, but it seems to me it's not a

1279
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 1: credible position to take to say, um, you guys are

1280
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:42,879
Speaker 1: just trying to distract attention from the all important business

1281
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 1: of Trump's collusion with Russia, because what's the what's the

1282
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:49,679
Speaker 1: downside of having more information? You know, if it turns

1283
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 1: out that what the republic this is just a bunch

1284
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:57,640
Speaker 1: of saber rattling that the Republicans have been doing and

1285
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:00,720
Speaker 1: there's really nothing to this idea that the dossier was

1286
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 1: used in a FISA warrant, than a lot of Republicans

1287
01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 1: are going to have egg on their face, and that's

1288
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:09,160
Speaker 1: going to make the collusion narratives seem more powerful rather

1289
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:12,240
Speaker 1: than less. So I just don't really see that they

1290
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:16,800
Speaker 1: have a good political opposition to this. Andy, what we're

1291
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 1: speaking to, Andy McCarthy, everybody of natural review, what could

1292
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 1: be realistic in terms of sanctions outcome? Where would this go?

1293
01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:28,800
Speaker 1: Assuming it is what it has this and we're talking

1294
01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 1: about this memo. Everybody that members of Congress have been

1295
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 1: speaking out saying who they have seen it, they say

1296
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:38,679
Speaker 1: that it is, you know, jaw dropping. I've even seen

1297
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 1: I think one member of Congress said, you know, people

1298
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 1: will be fired over this, Maybe people will go to

1299
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 1: jail over this. What realistically speaking, Andy, even if they

1300
01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:51,839
Speaker 1: use the dossier as the basis for a FISA warrant,

1301
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:59,560
Speaker 1: what could happen? Well, but it really depends on exactly

1302
01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:04,800
Speaker 1: what they did and what percentage of it um accounts

1303
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:09,479
Speaker 1: for the application that they made. So, for example, in

1304
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: normal wire tap litigation, you know, in every criminal case

1305
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:16,679
Speaker 1: that involves wire taps, as you know, there are always

1306
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:20,520
Speaker 1: motions to suppress the wire tap, and it is sometimes

1307
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:26,200
Speaker 1: alleged that the government misled the court in um seeking

1308
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:29,640
Speaker 1: the wire tap in the information that was presented. And

1309
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:34,320
Speaker 1: the normal formula that applies when that happens is the court,

1310
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:41,240
Speaker 1: for purposes of argument, discounts the information that is alleged

1311
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:43,880
Speaker 1: to have been misleading and then looks at the rest

1312
01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:46,760
Speaker 1: of the warrant as if that information didn't exist, and

1313
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:48,759
Speaker 1: if there's enough information in the rest of the warrant

1314
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:51,639
Speaker 1: such that the warrant would have been granted anyway, Um,

1315
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, the government gets a stern talking to if

1316
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 1: it really did give misleading information, But it's not the

1317
01:22:57,040 --> 01:23:01,759
Speaker 1: end of the world, right, Um. The real problem happens

1318
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:05,080
Speaker 1: when and I think this is a twofold problem. Number one,

1319
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 1: did they use information that they didn't verify and represent

1320
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 1: it to be something that it wasn't. Namely, did they

1321
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 1: present this partisan opposition research as if it was refined

1322
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: American intelligence reporting, So that would be a big problem.

1323
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 1: And secondly, does the dossier make up of the presentation

1324
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:31,040
Speaker 1: that they made in applying for surveillance? Is it you

1325
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:34,559
Speaker 1: know two or is it some place in between. I

1326
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:38,680
Speaker 1: think the more important it was to the granting of

1327
01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 1: the surveillance, the bigger the problem it is. Let's say, though,

1328
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean, what is the smoking gun scenario? Because people

1329
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 1: keep saying I they you know, and you get a

1330
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 1: lot of oh my, sources are saying this, and sources

1331
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 1: are saying that. But how could this memo be a

1332
01:23:55,320 --> 01:24:00,120
Speaker 1: smoking gun when it comes to let's say, showing F E,

1333
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:03,679
Speaker 1: I and d O J collusion against the Trump campaign?

1334
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:06,639
Speaker 1: I mean, what would that realistically? I know you haven't

1335
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:08,799
Speaker 1: seen it, Andy, and I'm pushing here a bit, but

1336
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,040
Speaker 1: what could that look like? Because it sounds to me

1337
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:13,959
Speaker 1: like if they know, they know what they're doing. They probably,

1338
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:17,880
Speaker 1: especially when you talk about a formulation and percentages, they

1339
01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:21,240
Speaker 1: might have been operating within their discretion even if they

1340
01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:26,720
Speaker 1: were abusing it. Well, uh, we already know if they

1341
01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:31,599
Speaker 1: didn't verify it, that they're outside of their normal procedures, right, So,

1342
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, if they used a pretext in order for

1343
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:42,440
Speaker 1: the incumbent Democratic administration to spy on the rival Republican campaign,

1344
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:47,400
Speaker 1: that's a Watergate type abuse of power. So it would

1345
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:51,760
Speaker 1: be a very very serious matter. Now, obviously the political

1346
01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:53,720
Speaker 1: people who were in control at the time are no

1347
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 1: longer in office, but at a minimum, it would be

1348
01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 1: a big problem for people in the Justice Department and

1349
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:05,640
Speaker 1: in the FBI who are who are still there, Um,

1350
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:09,679
Speaker 1: if you know, if they if such a thing actually happened,

1351
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:14,479
Speaker 1: And in terms of the collusion narrative in general, book,

1352
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 1: I think if it contributes to the idea that the

1353
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:24,280
Speaker 1: whole collusion storyline was really a result of this dossier

1354
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:29,080
Speaker 1: and not much else. Um, that won't end Muller's investigation,

1355
01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:32,439
Speaker 1: but it would really, you know, I think, put a

1356
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:35,799
Speaker 1: big dent in it, and it would probably move people

1357
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:38,880
Speaker 1: to ask at this point, you know, if you don't

1358
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,519
Speaker 1: have anything on Trump, then say so. And if you

1359
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:43,679
Speaker 1: want to go after Manafort and all these other guys

1360
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:46,280
Speaker 1: that find but like the president shouldn't be governing under

1361
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:50,240
Speaker 1: a cloud if that, if it's not warranted, So you think,

1362
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that really gets to it there? Any there's

1363
01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:54,840
Speaker 1: the possibility that and I know we're basings off a

1364
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:57,160
Speaker 1: memo that has not been released and that people are

1365
01:25:57,160 --> 01:26:01,719
Speaker 1: reporting on second or third or fifteen hand at this point,

1366
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:04,200
Speaker 1: right they haven't seen it, but they've hurt somebody, hurt somebody.

1367
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:06,559
Speaker 1: But it's very clear there's a storyline out there that

1368
01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:11,200
Speaker 1: this memo shows abusifies against Trump, And you think, if

1369
01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:16,400
Speaker 1: that's true, it could it could really take the take

1370
01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:18,720
Speaker 1: the punch out of the Muller investigation, and it might

1371
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:20,559
Speaker 1: not shut it down tomorrow, but all of a sudden,

1372
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:23,880
Speaker 1: it's going to be like, what's really going on here? Guys? Yeah,

1373
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 1: I think but that if it turns out that that

1374
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:31,719
Speaker 1: people objectively make a judgment that that what really drove

1375
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 1: this narrative is this dosia, that this dossier is really

1376
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:40,040
Speaker 1: responsible for this whole idea that Trump had some kind

1377
01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 1: of an espionage conspiracy with the with the Russians, because

1378
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,719
Speaker 1: the clearest statement of that is the dossier, at least

1379
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:51,680
Speaker 1: that we know of. Um. I think that that's a

1380
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:54,160
Speaker 1: big problem from all his investigation. And as you say,

1381
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:56,439
Speaker 1: it doesn't end it. It doesn't mean that like it's

1382
01:26:56,479 --> 01:26:59,680
Speaker 1: illegitimate for him to have charged Manifold or anything like that,

1383
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 1: but it will create in the public mind, I think

1384
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 1: among people of goodwill if this happened, a real, real

1385
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:11,959
Speaker 1: questions about the legitimacy of the investigation. How confident confident

1386
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:15,920
Speaker 1: are you in Mueller as a as a public servant?

1387
01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:17,920
Speaker 1: And do you know him right? I know you knew Comy,

1388
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:20,679
Speaker 1: but do you know Mueller too? I'm not. I don't

1389
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 1: know him intimately, but sure I've I've spoken to him

1390
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 1: over the years, and I know him a little bit

1391
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:27,000
Speaker 1: well at least we could say maybe by reputation. Then

1392
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 1: are you confident that if if it were really the case,

1393
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:34,120
Speaker 1: if it were clear to Muller that the fusion GPS

1394
01:27:34,200 --> 01:27:36,519
Speaker 1: DOSCI was the basis for this, that he would take

1395
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:39,000
Speaker 1: the appropriate steps to wind this thing down more quickly.

1396
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:40,679
Speaker 1: Or do you think that the pressure is so great

1397
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,800
Speaker 1: on him at this point that he almost it's almost

1398
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 1: like it's gone beyond his control. Well, Buck, let's not

1399
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 1: forget You and me don't know, but he does, right,

1400
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:54,200
Speaker 1: I mean he does. We don't know, but he knows.

1401
01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:59,439
Speaker 1: So if he hasn't shut down the investigation already, I

1402
01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 1: don't see how the fact that we might know something

1403
01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 1: suddenly that he has known for a long time is

1404
01:28:05,520 --> 01:28:09,040
Speaker 1: going to change his behavior in any way. Right, Yeah,

1405
01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:10,800
Speaker 1: that's a good point. I mean, I'm just I'm trying

1406
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:13,240
Speaker 1: to get a sense as to whether has this taken

1407
01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:15,400
Speaker 1: on a life of its own, even beyond what the

1408
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:18,600
Speaker 1: facts are of the case thus far. You know, just

1409
01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 1: does he feel like he has to continue on just

1410
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 1: because that's the expectation from so many people. I mean,

1411
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:27,720
Speaker 1: I just don't know what. Mother. Let me just say

1412
01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 1: two things about that, though, Buck. One is, let's look

1413
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:34,599
Speaker 1: at what he's done already, which is, he hasn't brought

1414
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:38,840
Speaker 1: any charges that are suggestive of Trump collusion with Russia, right,

1415
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:42,560
Speaker 1: for all the hullabalu, there's been none of that. And secondly,

1416
01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:46,280
Speaker 1: his mandate is not to make a criminal case against Trump,

1417
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 1: although he's got the power to do that if there,

1418
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 1: if there were such a case. His mandate is to

1419
01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:54,840
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of what Russia is doing to

1420
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:58,080
Speaker 1: threaten our elections and our institutions, and there is a

1421
01:28:58,080 --> 01:29:00,360
Speaker 1: lot of evidence that they're trying to do at So

1422
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 1: it's not like he's got nothing to do besides criminal

1423
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:05,439
Speaker 1: cases and he can. We hold you through the break

1424
01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:06,880
Speaker 1: for one second here to talk to you about the

1425
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 1: Menendez retry. Guys. I wanted to ask Andy about this,

1426
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:11,760
Speaker 1: and we went all along on Mullark because I'm just

1427
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:14,000
Speaker 1: fascinated by this whole situation, as I'm sure many of

1428
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:16,439
Speaker 1: you are. Andy, hold there for one second and we'll

1429
01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:20,680
Speaker 1: be right back. All right, everybody, Welcome back, Andy, thank

1430
01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:24,040
Speaker 1: you for staying with us. Uh. The Menendez case, the

1431
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:26,280
Speaker 1: Senator Menende's case, d o j I see here says

1432
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:28,640
Speaker 1: that they will in fact retry it. What can we

1433
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:32,080
Speaker 1: make of this? Well, it's interesting, you know, Buck, I

1434
01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:35,800
Speaker 1: think that the Supreme Court has made these cases very,

1435
01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:41,799
Speaker 1: very tough to win. Um. With the with the McDonald

1436
01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 1: case that they decided was it was it two Junes ago?

1437
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:50,880
Speaker 1: I think, um, they've they've made these corruption cases very

1438
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:54,839
Speaker 1: difficult on the government. On the other hand, it seemed

1439
01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:58,519
Speaker 1: to be following the case that there was a lot

1440
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 1: of evidence that he then if you couldn't convict Menendez

1441
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 1: of bribery. That he had a big problem with whether

1442
01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:11,680
Speaker 1: whether he truthfully, whether he filed truthful disclosure statements. And

1443
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:14,040
Speaker 1: I was a little bit surprised that he beat He

1444
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:16,080
Speaker 1: didn't really beat the whole case because it was a

1445
01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:18,880
Speaker 1: hung jury, but I was a little bit surprised at

1446
01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:21,920
Speaker 1: that he didn't go down on those camps. It looked

1447
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:23,880
Speaker 1: like the jury kind of looked at the case as

1448
01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:27,360
Speaker 1: an all or nothing thing and didn't either convict or

1449
01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:31,320
Speaker 1: quit him on individual comps. And if I were the government,

1450
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:34,400
Speaker 1: I would probably want to take another shot at at

1451
01:30:34,479 --> 01:30:37,120
Speaker 1: least that part of the case. And one more thing

1452
01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:39,920
Speaker 1: for you from the legal side, Andy, the Supreme Court

1453
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 1: is going to be looking at what's going on with

1454
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:46,240
Speaker 1: the Trump travel band. You got any thoughts on that.

1455
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:50,479
Speaker 1: I think that the Court buck is more likely to

1456
01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:52,680
Speaker 1: tell him to go to the Ninth Circuit first. I

1457
01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:54,559
Speaker 1: think if I were the Supreme Court, that's what I'd

1458
01:30:54,600 --> 01:30:58,360
Speaker 1: be inclined to do. Um, this is a pretty blatantly

1459
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:03,080
Speaker 1: lawless move by the district judge in California. I mean,

1460
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:06,240
Speaker 1: to tell a president that he can't reverse an executive order,

1461
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:09,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's like, on its face, preposterous. So

1462
01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:11,920
Speaker 1: I think if I were the Supreme Court, I'd tell

1463
01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:13,759
Speaker 1: him to go and tell it to the Ninth Circuit.

1464
01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:16,599
Speaker 1: And I think even in the Ninth Circuit, Trump's got

1465
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:18,759
Speaker 1: a chance of winning. What do you think about impeaching

1466
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:21,519
Speaker 1: some judges, Andy, you know, to get a little a

1467
01:31:21,520 --> 01:31:25,160
Speaker 1: little bit of accountability from the bench. Well, you know, Buck,

1468
01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:27,519
Speaker 1: I think that impeachment needs to be brought back across

1469
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:30,400
Speaker 1: the board the longer time goes on. And as you know,

1470
01:31:30,479 --> 01:31:32,280
Speaker 1: I wrote a book about this subject a couple of

1471
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:36,360
Speaker 1: years ago. I think it's ingenious of Madison and the

1472
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:40,679
Speaker 1: other Framers to have noted and observed that we had

1473
01:31:40,720 --> 01:31:42,720
Speaker 1: to have if you wanted to get good government, you

1474
01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:46,640
Speaker 1: needed to have impeachment as a as a potential remedy,

1475
01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:51,080
Speaker 1: because it's it's the only sanction that that's severe enough

1476
01:31:51,120 --> 01:31:54,639
Speaker 1: to keep people on the straight and narrow. And there's

1477
01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:57,400
Speaker 1: really not much else too. You know, the judges are

1478
01:31:57,400 --> 01:32:00,760
Speaker 1: not accountable to the public. So if you can't if

1479
01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:03,720
Speaker 1: you can't reach them this way, you can't reach them anyway.

1480
01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:06,479
Speaker 1: So you think it's I mean, this judge what he did.

1481
01:32:06,600 --> 01:32:08,240
Speaker 1: You don't need a law degree. You don't even really

1482
01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:09,960
Speaker 1: need to be that up on current events to know

1483
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:13,120
Speaker 1: that what this guy's doing out in California with the

1484
01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:17,120
Speaker 1: decision to overrule the president on an issue that's clearly

1485
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:20,320
Speaker 1: presidential prerogative. If judges are just going to keep doing this,

1486
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:23,720
Speaker 1: they pose their own threat to the system. Really, and

1487
01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:25,800
Speaker 1: I think that you know, as you say, impeachment as

1488
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:28,320
Speaker 1: a process we have for a reason, I feel like

1489
01:32:28,360 --> 01:32:30,840
Speaker 1: people have this. We've been sold this bill of goods

1490
01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:33,360
Speaker 1: about a judiciary that cannot be touched and cannot be

1491
01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:35,519
Speaker 1: held accountable ever, ever, ever, And that's not the way

1492
01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:38,599
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. No, it's not. And you know

1493
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:41,560
Speaker 1: the other thing about it, Buck is it's an amazing

1494
01:32:41,640 --> 01:32:46,160
Speaker 1: system where we give such power to the judiciary when

1495
01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:49,439
Speaker 1: you know, as Hamilton's noted, and as the Framers noted,

1496
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:52,280
Speaker 1: they don't have anything but judgment. They don't control the purse,

1497
01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:56,519
Speaker 1: they don't control the sword. Um, so it's their own

1498
01:32:56,680 --> 01:33:00,240
Speaker 1: what what they have to go on is their own legitimates. See,

1499
01:33:00,240 --> 01:33:03,559
Speaker 1: that's what makes us accept their judgments, this idea that

1500
01:33:03,560 --> 01:33:06,760
Speaker 1: we all have internalized that there really is an objective

1501
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:09,360
Speaker 1: law out there and they really are doing the best

1502
01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:13,120
Speaker 1: they can to apply it to these very controversial fact patterns,

1503
01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 1: and if they lose that, and if we don't have

1504
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:18,200
Speaker 1: legitimacy in the courts, then you don't have the rule

1505
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:21,120
Speaker 1: of law anymore. So it's it's really important that it

1506
01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:23,080
Speaker 1: gets repaired. What are you working on next day? Andy?

1507
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:25,519
Speaker 1: Where should people, I mean National Review to read your writing?

1508
01:33:25,560 --> 01:33:28,760
Speaker 1: But what can they expect? What's the next McCarthy opus.

1509
01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:33,640
Speaker 1: Tomorrow at my weekend column at National Review, we're going

1510
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:38,040
Speaker 1: to talk about collusion three point oh, which is the

1511
01:33:38,040 --> 01:33:41,880
Speaker 1: the latest narrative which has to do with whether, uh,

1512
01:33:41,960 --> 01:33:47,480
Speaker 1: the Russians used the National Rifle Association to approach the

1513
01:33:47,479 --> 01:33:53,200
Speaker 1: Trump campaign. Everybody follow Andy McCarthy Andrew McCarthy on Twitter

1514
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:55,400
Speaker 1: and check out as latest in Naturalview. Andy, have a

1515
01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:57,519
Speaker 1: great weekend. Thanks for making a little extra time for us.

1517
01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:05,240
Speaker 1: roll into a break here. I feel like I haven't

1518
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:09,880
Speaker 1: yet had a chance to speak about the March for Life,

1519
01:34:10,600 --> 01:34:13,240
Speaker 1: and I have been meeting to so we will talk

1520
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:17,360
Speaker 1: about that on the other side of this break. That's

1521
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:20,320
Speaker 1: something that I know. It's late on a Friday, maybe

1522
01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:23,040
Speaker 1: it's a usually a time when we talk about lighter

1523
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:26,400
Speaker 1: subject matter, but the March for Life is something that

1524
01:34:26,439 --> 01:34:30,880
Speaker 1: we definitely should spend some time discussing, and I was

1525
01:34:31,080 --> 01:34:33,600
Speaker 1: very pleased. I watched live as the President gave his

1526

1555
01:36:07,640 --> 01:36:13,799
Speaker 1: that every child is a precious gift from God. President

1556
01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:18,280
Speaker 1: Trump today speaking to the March for Life in Washington,

1557
01:36:18,360 --> 01:36:23,679
Speaker 1: d c Um. God bless all those folks down there

1558
01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:28,559
Speaker 1: who were taking the time to actually do something that

1559
01:36:28,640 --> 01:36:31,559
Speaker 1: I am sure they will always be very proud of

1560
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:36,439
Speaker 1: and that really does matter. Um. Before I get into

1561
01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:40,120
Speaker 1: more of just there their message and the importance of

1562
01:36:40,439 --> 01:36:43,439
Speaker 1: what they were doing to me, it's it is very

1563
01:36:43,479 --> 01:36:48,360
Speaker 1: noteworthy that the president of the United States, this is

1564
01:36:48,400 --> 01:36:51,439
Speaker 1: the first president of the United States, President Trump who

1565
01:36:51,640 --> 01:36:57,200
Speaker 1: spoke at the March for Life, and for all of

1566
01:36:57,240 --> 01:37:00,439
Speaker 1: the things that you know, people have said about Trump

1567
01:37:00,520 --> 01:37:02,840
Speaker 1: up to this point, for all the stories the media

1568
01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:07,080
Speaker 1: has been running about how you know they disapprove of Well,

1569
01:37:07,080 --> 01:37:09,320
Speaker 1: that's a very gentle way of saying it, but I

1570
01:37:09,320 --> 01:37:12,360
Speaker 1: don't want to go too far down those rabbit holes.

1571
01:37:14,320 --> 01:37:17,800
Speaker 1: In fact, the matter is, the President recognized a very

1572
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:20,080
Speaker 1: important movement today n DC. You know, I was asked

1573
01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:27,440
Speaker 1: recently by a fellow commentator who is not a conservative.

1574
01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:30,920
Speaker 1: He said, you know what, what is the right really

1575
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:36,200
Speaker 1: even believe anymore? And now this could be a very

1576
01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:39,879
Speaker 1: complicated discussion, and there's a I have a lot of answers.

1577
01:37:39,920 --> 01:37:41,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that and a lot of

1578
01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:44,200
Speaker 1: you would immediately jump to a limited government and rule

1579
01:37:44,200 --> 01:37:46,400
Speaker 1: of law and the constitution and all of that is

1580
01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:50,520
Speaker 1: is true, but he meant more in terms of specific policies.

1581
01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:53,320
Speaker 1: But the first thing that came to mind, because it

1582
01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:58,840
Speaker 1: really is the biggest single differentiator between the Democrat Party

1583
01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:01,719
Speaker 1: and the Republican Party, between the right and the left

1584
01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:05,320
Speaker 1: politically speaking in this country, is the issue of life

1585
01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:12,479
Speaker 1: and the treatment of the unborn and respecting the lives

1586
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:15,799
Speaker 1: of the unborn, as as human beings. It is one

1587
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:21,639
Speaker 1: aspect of the national political discussion where I still believe

1588
01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:27,439
Speaker 1: it's just a matter of time before people look back

1589
01:38:27,520 --> 01:38:31,160
Speaker 1: at the the current laws because of Roe v. Wade,

1590
01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:37,760
Speaker 1: and look back at the decades after Row and think,

1591
01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:42,040
Speaker 1: how was that possible? How did we as a country

1592
01:38:42,320 --> 01:38:48,640
Speaker 1: ever allow this abortion on demand and millions and millions

1593
01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:55,479
Speaker 1: of these procedures done, lives stamped out before they could

1594
01:38:56,560 --> 01:39:01,639
Speaker 1: ever truly come into the world beyond their mother's wombs.

1595
01:39:02,320 --> 01:39:04,280
Speaker 1: How could we ever have allowed this as a country

1596
01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:07,920
Speaker 1: that in so many ways is the shining light for

1597
01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:10,920
Speaker 1: the rest of the world. I do believe there will

1598
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:13,200
Speaker 1: be a reckoning. I think it is just a matter

1599
01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:15,599
Speaker 1: of time. But there will come a point at which

1600
01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:22,240
Speaker 1: we will finally understand and I don't know how will

1601
01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:26,439
Speaker 1: ever really be able to I mean, we'll understand that

1602
01:39:26,479 --> 01:39:28,719
Speaker 1: this is wrong, what's going on right now in the country,

1603
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:30,519
Speaker 1: and I don't know how will ever really come to

1604
01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:34,240
Speaker 1: grips with it. Because once you have a once you

1605
01:39:34,360 --> 01:39:38,639
Speaker 1: achieve moral clarity on the issue of life, there is

1606
01:39:38,720 --> 01:39:42,519
Speaker 1: not a middle ground. There's not some halfway. And I

1607
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:45,000
Speaker 1: think that the march for life and the media is

1608
01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:49,160
Speaker 1: I often beat up on the media. But the media's

1609
01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:55,519
Speaker 1: refusal to cover it and to give it the kind

1610
01:39:55,600 --> 01:40:02,840
Speaker 1: of respect and what's because they honestly they despise this

1611
01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:06,400
Speaker 1: entire movement um much of the media. I mean, you

1612
01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 1: go to left wing media places like the New York Times,

1613
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:14,640
Speaker 1: Washington Post, they feel like there is something deeply regressive

1614
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:19,280
Speaker 1: in people who just want babies to be born. There

1615
01:40:19,280 --> 01:40:23,200
Speaker 1: are few things that the Republican Party can point to

1616
01:40:23,240 --> 01:40:27,839
Speaker 1: and say we are still despite everything, we are correct

1617
01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:33,200
Speaker 1: on that, and this is one of them. And as

1618
01:40:33,280 --> 01:40:36,519
Speaker 1: a born and raised Catholic, a baptized Catholic, I can

1619
01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:39,040
Speaker 1: also say, for all the troubles of Catholic Church has had,

1620
01:40:40,160 --> 01:40:43,240
Speaker 1: still right on this one. I'm still on the right

1621
01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:48,120
Speaker 1: side of history, despite the fact that the laws in

1622
01:40:48,120 --> 01:40:51,960
Speaker 1: this country currently say otherwise. So I wanted to take

1623
01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:56,280
Speaker 1: a moment to just say thank you to all the

1624
01:40:56,640 --> 01:41:00,599
Speaker 1: men and women who were down in d c Um.

1625
01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:08,360
Speaker 1: I think it's a sign that it's it's that's still

1626
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:11,200
Speaker 1: a time in this country where people believe that they

1627
01:41:11,240 --> 01:41:16,160
Speaker 1: can do good things, and there is so much that

1628
01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:18,320
Speaker 1: we could do, so much more that we can do

1629
01:41:18,760 --> 01:41:21,080
Speaker 1: to respect and protect life in this country, and so

1630
01:41:21,160 --> 01:41:25,800
Speaker 1: the movement is very very very important UM on a

1631
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:28,760
Speaker 1: policy side of this, because you can't completely separate the two.

1632
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:30,680
Speaker 1: It's not just about the morality and the ethics and

1633
01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:34,560
Speaker 1: taking a brave stand. You have to get the Republicans

1634
01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:37,840
Speaker 1: to defund planned parenthood if nothing else. What we've seen

1635
01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:43,679
Speaker 1: from the current situation of DACA is that Democrats will

1636
01:41:43,760 --> 01:41:49,000
Speaker 1: march in lockstep with each other. Republicans could take a

1637
01:41:49,080 --> 01:41:53,840
Speaker 1: page from the Democrat playbook on that. Yeah, it's just

1638
01:41:54,040 --> 01:42:01,840
Speaker 1: a frustration that Democrats are so solidified and so unified

1639
01:42:01,880 --> 01:42:06,840
Speaker 1: on this UM and Republicans, I I just wish they

1640
01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:10,760
Speaker 1: would have the same courage of their convictions when it

1641
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:14,360
Speaker 1: comes to the legislative side of this, because whatever they

1642
01:42:14,400 --> 01:42:16,599
Speaker 1: could do, and I agree with with those who say

1643
01:42:17,640 --> 01:42:23,720
Speaker 1: even putting in place restrictions is not enough. But restrictions

1644
01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:28,000
Speaker 1: for example on late term abortions, or restrictions at different

1645
01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:33,879
Speaker 1: weeks of gestation for the fetus, which is just another

1646
01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:38,479
Speaker 1: word for a baby. Whatever we could do, whatever lives

1647
01:42:38,479 --> 01:42:42,400
Speaker 1: could be saved in the interm is better than the alternative.

1648
01:42:43,640 --> 01:42:47,640
Speaker 1: And I I think this is the one issue as

1649
01:42:47,680 --> 01:42:49,320
Speaker 1: well where it's quite clear that those of us who

1650
01:42:49,360 --> 01:42:54,760
Speaker 1: work in uh, conservative media, those of us on the

1651
01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:58,160
Speaker 1: right who are activists who are doing whatever we can

1652
01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:01,920
Speaker 1: to get the word out. You know, citizen activist, citizen

1653
01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:06,840
Speaker 1: journalists everywhere who are pushing the truth on this. It's

1654
01:43:06,840 --> 01:43:09,240
Speaker 1: all worth it. This is one of those where you

1655
01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:12,519
Speaker 1: don't have it doesn't matter at the at the end

1656
01:43:12,520 --> 01:43:16,040
Speaker 1: of the day, if you can achieve the policy goals

1657
01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:18,120
Speaker 1: that you want in the short term, it doesn't really matter.

1658
01:43:18,200 --> 01:43:20,120
Speaker 1: If you can get it exactly the way that it

1659
01:43:20,160 --> 01:43:23,760
Speaker 1: should be. Every life counts and every life saved is

1660
01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:27,559
Speaker 1: something that we should all be very pleased and very

1661
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:32,759
Speaker 1: proud of. And it's it's important, It is very very important.

1662
01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:34,479
Speaker 1: One thing I wanted to note that there was actually

1663
01:43:34,479 --> 01:43:36,599
Speaker 1: a policy part of Trump speech today at the march.

1664
01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:45,000
Speaker 1: Here's what the President said about reversing an Obama era policy.

1665
01:43:47,160 --> 01:43:51,880
Speaker 1: I have also just reversed the previous administration's policy that

1666
01:43:52,040 --> 01:43:57,200
Speaker 1: restricted state's efforts to direct medicaid funding away from abortion

1667
01:43:57,280 --> 01:44:02,880
Speaker 1: facilities that violate the law. So the President isn't just

1668
01:44:04,360 --> 01:44:08,000
Speaker 1: rhetorically invested in the pro life movement. The President has

1669
01:44:08,040 --> 01:44:11,640
Speaker 1: taken actions that are benefiting the pro life movement. And

1670
01:44:11,760 --> 01:44:15,160
Speaker 1: we could just use the shorthand as well just benefiting life,

1671
01:44:16,200 --> 01:44:19,040
Speaker 1: which is what is so very very critical about all this.

1672
01:44:19,439 --> 01:44:21,519
Speaker 1: Usually in the in the latter part of the show,

1673
01:44:21,600 --> 01:44:25,640
Speaker 1: especially on a Friday, I wouldn't get into so heavy

1674
01:44:25,680 --> 01:44:29,320
Speaker 1: and heavier topic, but it's such an important one, and

1675
01:44:29,439 --> 01:44:31,519
Speaker 1: you know, the March for life. I I hope that

1676
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:34,120
Speaker 1: I can be a part of it one day. I'm

1677
01:44:34,200 --> 01:44:36,520
Speaker 1: up here in New York City and I've got obligations

1678
01:44:36,560 --> 01:44:39,560
Speaker 1: here in town, but that is a march that I

1679
01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:42,760
Speaker 1: would be very proud to be a part of. So

1680
01:44:42,840 --> 01:44:44,800
Speaker 1: that's I wanted to say a few words about it.

1681
01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:48,519
Speaker 1: I am going to close out the show probably here

1682
01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:51,519
Speaker 1: in a few minutes with some suggestions that I had

1683
01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:55,680
Speaker 1: received on Netflix Netflix shows the weekend, I'm looking to

1684
01:44:56,040 --> 01:44:59,280
Speaker 1: put some new stuff in the queue. I'm gonna wait

1685
01:44:59,360 --> 01:45:04,720
Speaker 1: until Monday for a Team Team Buck roll call, because um,

1686
01:45:04,520 --> 01:45:07,240
Speaker 1: I want to see what you all think about some

1687
01:45:07,320 --> 01:45:11,519
Speaker 1: of the changes that I'm planning on making, some minor changes.

1688
01:45:11,520 --> 01:45:13,160
Speaker 1: It's on the changes of planning on making to the

1689
01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:16,360
Speaker 1: Shields High podcasts. So that will be out on Monday,

1690
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:19,640
Speaker 1: and I think roll call will be a very effective

1691
01:45:19,640 --> 01:45:22,240
Speaker 1: way to get into what you think about that. Monday night,

1692
01:45:22,439 --> 01:45:23,960
Speaker 1: assuming a lot of you can get a chance to

1693
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:27,800
Speaker 1: listen to it. So that is my plan for that.

1694
01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:30,400
Speaker 1: But by all means also we will start pulling from

1695
01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:33,719
Speaker 1: the official Team Buck email account. It's official Team Buck

1696
01:45:33,880 --> 01:45:37,439
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. Let us know your thoughts there,

1697
01:45:37,439 --> 01:45:39,360
Speaker 1: and don't forget if you would like to buy a

1698
01:45:39,400 --> 01:45:42,080
Speaker 1: T shirt. We are still selling Team Buck gear on

1699
01:45:42,240 --> 01:45:46,280
Speaker 1: buck sexton dot com. So with that, when we come back,

1700
01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:51,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna have some closing thoughts for you. Stay right there, well, team,

1701
01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:55,000
Speaker 1: It's been quite a week here in the Hut, so

1702
01:45:55,520 --> 01:45:59,080
Speaker 1: I have to say it is I'm looking forward to

1703
01:45:59,120 --> 01:46:02,479
Speaker 1: having some some down time because I am getting the

1704
01:46:02,520 --> 01:46:06,000
Speaker 1: sense that next week is going to be quite a

1705
01:46:06,360 --> 01:46:11,200
Speaker 1: crazy one. That is my uh, it's my very obvious,

1706
01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:15,760
Speaker 1: very obvious guestimate of what to expect. A couple of things.

1707
01:46:15,920 --> 01:46:18,280
Speaker 1: One is that I really had I think I had

1708
01:46:18,320 --> 01:46:22,160
Speaker 1: said here on the show recently of that I was

1709
01:46:22,200 --> 01:46:24,680
Speaker 1: going to go see a movie, and you know, I

1710
01:46:24,800 --> 01:46:28,000
Speaker 1: just always back off the seat movies because I so

1711
01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:32,200
Speaker 1: much rather be at home and have my sweatpants and

1712
01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:34,840
Speaker 1: be able to pause it, you know, throw some chicken

1713
01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:39,000
Speaker 1: nugs in the in the microwave, people just ruin movies.

1714
01:46:39,320 --> 01:46:41,759
Speaker 1: But you know, Ms Molly's back from a work trip

1715
01:46:41,880 --> 01:46:44,840
Speaker 1: this weekend and if she wants to see a movie,

1716
01:46:44,840 --> 01:46:46,640
Speaker 1: I told her, I'm willing to do it. But for me,

1717
01:46:46,720 --> 01:46:50,639
Speaker 1: that's that is a that is a rarity. And movies

1718
01:46:50,680 --> 01:46:53,680
Speaker 1: are at like I don't know, I wanted to say

1719
01:46:53,680 --> 01:46:56,439
Speaker 1: a decade low or something. It's the people are not

1720
01:46:56,479 --> 01:46:58,120
Speaker 1: going to movies quite the same way because the home

1721
01:46:58,200 --> 01:47:01,080
Speaker 1: viewing experience is good. I think the movie the movie

1722
01:47:01,120 --> 01:47:04,760
Speaker 1: theater business is you know. I mean, I don't mean

1723
01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:07,040
Speaker 1: this from I don't know if it's true from economic perspective,

1724
01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:08,599
Speaker 1: but I think the whole notion of going to see

1725
01:47:08,600 --> 01:47:13,040
Speaker 1: the movies and paying ten or twelve bucks is uh,

1726
01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:15,880
Speaker 1: that is going away. I think it's twenty bucks in

1727
01:47:15,880 --> 01:47:17,839
Speaker 1: New York. Now. I go to the movie so seldom

1728
01:47:17,840 --> 01:47:20,400
Speaker 1: that I'm stuck in like dollars when it comes to

1729
01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:22,479
Speaker 1: it comes to the movies. The one thing I wanted

1730
01:47:22,520 --> 01:47:25,720
Speaker 1: to see was the Churchill movie, So I'm hoping that

1731
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:30,200
Speaker 1: maybe they put that out on iTunes sooner rather than later.

1732
01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:34,920
Speaker 1: Um and and also I'm gonna start I asked last

1733
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:37,639
Speaker 1: night on Netflix, I try to start watching a show

1734
01:47:38,080 --> 01:47:41,519
Speaker 1: called Godless, the same title I believe as an end

1735
01:47:41,520 --> 01:47:43,680
Speaker 1: culture book that I read some years ago. The End

1736
01:47:43,720 --> 01:47:47,040
Speaker 1: Culture book way better than this TV show. The TV

1737
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:53,800
Speaker 1: show it's got some social justice, feminism Western stuff going

1738
01:47:53,840 --> 01:48:00,120
Speaker 1: on that's just not not particularly entertaining viewing, at least

1739
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:01,960
Speaker 1: not for me. I'm I watched it, and I'm like,

1740
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:05,840
Speaker 1: this is not cool. I don't need to be watching

1741
01:48:06,680 --> 01:48:12,679
Speaker 1: a show about eighteen seventies New Mexico roughly circa eighteen

1742
01:48:12,760 --> 01:48:15,559
Speaker 1: seventies New Mexico. And you know you've got, you know,

1743
01:48:15,600 --> 01:48:19,519
Speaker 1: the strong female characters who can gunfight just as well

1744
01:48:19,560 --> 01:48:21,160
Speaker 1: as all the men folks. I'm like, all right, you know,

1745
01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:25,080
Speaker 1: I get it right, but enough enough. It's just not

1746
01:48:25,120 --> 01:48:27,519
Speaker 1: a very good show. And my biggest problem with it

1747
01:48:27,560 --> 01:48:30,040
Speaker 1: is that they got a bunch of British actors playing

1748
01:48:30,160 --> 01:48:33,840
Speaker 1: these Americans. One of the British actors I know from

1749
01:48:33,840 --> 01:48:35,920
Speaker 1: the show down to n Abbey, don't judge. I used

1750
01:48:35,920 --> 01:48:38,759
Speaker 1: to watch Downton Abbey, but one of the British actors

1751
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:42,800
Speaker 1: is Lady Mary. So I'm used to being like, have

1752
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:45,639
Speaker 1: have I interrupted? Oh, I've just walked into the room

1753
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:49,439
Speaker 1: and should I go oh? And now she's all like

1754
01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:52,360
Speaker 1: you know, I got a rifle and I'm gonna I'm

1755
01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:55,960
Speaker 1: gonna shoot the first darned son of a gun steps

1756
01:48:56,040 --> 01:48:58,759
Speaker 1: on in my property. And I'm like, no, lady, Mary

1757
01:48:59,040 --> 01:49:02,040
Speaker 1: is not this is not working. And then, as as

1758
01:49:02,080 --> 01:49:07,000
Speaker 1: if that wasn't enough to get me upset, We've got

1759
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:11,160
Speaker 1: plenty of American actors. You got Christian Bale in this movie. Uh,

1760
01:49:11,160 --> 01:49:13,519
Speaker 1: I forget what it's called. What's the called the movie

1761
01:49:13,520 --> 01:49:16,200
Speaker 1: that's out right now, I don't know it's it's a

1762
01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:18,760
Speaker 1: it's another Western, which I probably won't go see. But

1763
01:49:19,080 --> 01:49:22,040
Speaker 1: Christian Bale is a British guy and I think he

1764
01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:25,200
Speaker 1: might actually be Welsh play he's the Batman actor for

1765
01:49:25,240 --> 01:49:28,120
Speaker 1: those of you who don't know, which I'm sure all

1766
01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:31,559
Speaker 1: of you know that. But then you got in the

1767
01:49:31,560 --> 01:49:34,240
Speaker 1: Godless show, the Little and not something you can be

1768
01:49:34,320 --> 01:49:37,960
Speaker 1: like Buck, you you're really man. Card is in serious

1769
01:49:38,040 --> 01:49:44,040
Speaker 1: jeopardy right now. But the the movie I was gonna say,

1770
01:49:44,040 --> 01:49:46,200
Speaker 1: Almost Famous, which is a very overrated movie, but that's

1771
01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:50,599
Speaker 1: different Love actually, which is this British movie that yeah, yeah,

1772
01:49:50,640 --> 01:49:53,640
Speaker 1: your thumbs up. Really gosh, Quinn is giving it a

1773
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:56,160
Speaker 1: thumbs up and I am I am not seeing it

1774
01:49:56,200 --> 01:49:58,160
Speaker 1: as a thumbs up movie. Man, I've been I've been

1775
01:49:58,200 --> 01:50:02,360
Speaker 1: forced by areas women in my life. My sister likes

1776
01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:04,559
Speaker 1: the movie. You know, I've been forced to watch you know,

1777
01:50:04,640 --> 01:50:07,439
Speaker 1: I've had girlfriends who like this movie. Everyone likes this

1778
01:50:07,479 --> 01:50:11,360
Speaker 1: movie was female. But there's a little blond kid who's

1779
01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:15,599
Speaker 1: like my heart spoken las I can you know, convince

1780
01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:18,960
Speaker 1: this gale that she's loved my life right? And he's

1781
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:20,960
Speaker 1: like seven or something, and I know it's supposed to

1782
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:23,240
Speaker 1: be cute, but it's really kind of trite. And he

1783
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:25,960
Speaker 1: learns to play the drums and those you even seen

1784
01:50:25,960 --> 01:50:27,479
Speaker 1: the movie, know what. He's like, This little blond kid,

1785
01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:31,559
Speaker 1: a little British accent. He's in Godless as well, and

1786
01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:33,920
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be like a smooth talking, you know

1787
01:50:34,360 --> 01:50:37,439
Speaker 1: deputy deputy sheriff was good with all the you know

1788
01:50:37,520 --> 01:50:40,800
Speaker 1: people people poo you know, spinner and handguns around and

1789
01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:44,439
Speaker 1: I'm just like, come on, man, you know, can can

1790
01:50:44,439 --> 01:50:47,360
Speaker 1: we get an American to play the role. We don't

1791
01:50:47,360 --> 01:50:49,800
Speaker 1: need to be importing people from London to pretend to

1792
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:52,960
Speaker 1: be our cowboys. You've got plenty of people here that

1793
01:50:52,960 --> 01:50:55,120
Speaker 1: would step into the cowboy roll and do quite well.

1794
01:50:55,200 --> 01:50:59,040
Speaker 1: So I asked last night on Netflix. I crowdsourced my

1795
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:03,080
Speaker 1: Netflix que for the weekend, so when I'm not working

1796
01:51:03,120 --> 01:51:05,639
Speaker 1: on the fall Acount Constantinople, I'll have something to do.

1797
01:51:06,439 --> 01:51:12,200
Speaker 1: And sure enough, I have settled on a show called

1798
01:51:13,560 --> 01:51:16,280
Speaker 1: I think it's called Long Meire. Do you know Long Meire?

1799
01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:20,439
Speaker 1: Have you heard of this one? This is it? No, no,

1800
01:51:20,439 --> 01:51:22,519
Speaker 1: no long. I think it's called Long Meyre. Wait, I

1801
01:51:22,560 --> 01:51:25,400
Speaker 1: should probably go back to my Twitter here and see

1802
01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:28,120
Speaker 1: what the what the recommendations were. But there's some good

1803
01:51:28,160 --> 01:51:30,439
Speaker 1: stuff that I have not yet seen that I am

1804
01:51:30,479 --> 01:51:34,720
Speaker 1: hoping to get a chance to see that is on Netflix.

1805
01:51:35,080 --> 01:51:41,400
Speaker 1: I did think The Punisher was very, very, uh, disappointing

1806
01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:47,639
Speaker 1: because I like the Daredevil series, so I'm somebody who

1807
01:51:47,640 --> 01:51:51,840
Speaker 1: should be kind of in there in their target audience here,

1808
01:51:51,880 --> 01:51:55,559
Speaker 1: I'm somebody who should be I should be excited about.

1809
01:51:56,560 --> 01:51:59,840
Speaker 1: I think his name is John Burnthal, the actor, you know.

1810
01:51:59,880 --> 01:52:02,560
Speaker 1: I think that he does a good job. And the

1811
01:52:02,640 --> 01:52:06,680
Speaker 1: Punisher thing, though, they just they pushed this whole storyline

1812
01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:10,519
Speaker 1: about how it's uh, you know, the PTSD and all

1813
01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:13,920
Speaker 1: this other stuff, and I'm just like, guys, this is

1814
01:52:13,960 --> 01:52:16,400
Speaker 1: supposed to be superhero comic book it's not supposed to

1815
01:52:16,400 --> 01:52:18,960
Speaker 1: be a they always make it political, which for me

1816
01:52:19,080 --> 01:52:21,479
Speaker 1: just kind of kind of ruins it. Oh, justified as

1817
01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:23,599
Speaker 1: a show that was recommended to me that I haven't seen,

1818
01:52:24,120 --> 01:52:25,439
Speaker 1: that I will check out, although I don't know if

1819
01:52:25,439 --> 01:52:29,519
Speaker 1: that's on Netflix, but I've heard that that's very very good. Um,

1820
01:52:29,600 --> 01:52:32,600
Speaker 1: so we've got those. I've got some options for some

1821
01:52:32,680 --> 01:52:35,200
Speaker 1: view in this weekend. I'm gonna try to take Saturday

1822
01:52:35,240 --> 01:52:38,360
Speaker 1: off from politics in the news cycle. I'm going to

1823
01:52:38,520 --> 01:52:44,120
Speaker 1: try and do something other than read the newspapers and

1824
01:52:44,240 --> 01:52:46,519
Speaker 1: web the newspapers. I don't read newspapers, but you know

1825
01:52:46,560 --> 01:52:49,920
Speaker 1: what I mean, websites and all that stuff. I'm hoping

1826
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:53,519
Speaker 1: to get something else going over the weekend, because if

1827
01:52:53,520 --> 01:52:56,559
Speaker 1: you allow yourself, especially in this business, you end up

1828
01:52:56,600 --> 01:52:59,160
Speaker 1: just spending all your time thinking about what the next

1829
01:52:59,800 --> 01:53:03,639
Speaker 1: he legislation is going to be. And sure enough, that's

1830
01:53:03,680 --> 01:53:05,880
Speaker 1: not a not a good way to not a good

1831
01:53:05,880 --> 01:53:08,439
Speaker 1: way to go through. Oh, Ozark was the show everybody
