Speaker 1: healthcare all it, then you can keep your plan. If

4
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: you are satisfied with Trump is not. When the President

Speaker 1: of the United States take it to a bank together,

Speaker 1: to eight to five The Future of talk radio Buck Sexton.

11
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: I say to Congress, I will never sign another bill

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: like this again. I'm not gonna do it again. Nobody

13
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: read it. It's only hours old. Some people don't even

14
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: know what At one point three trillion dollars, it's the

15
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: second largest ever. President Obama signed one that was actually larger,

16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: which I'm sure he wasn't too happy with either. But

17
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: in this case it became so big because we need

18
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: to take care of our military, and because the Democrats

19
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: who don't believe in that, added things that they wanted

20
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: in order to get their votes. There's a matter of

21
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: national security. I've signed this omnibus budget bill. There are

22
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: a lot of things that I'm unhappy about in this bill.

23
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: There are a lot of things that we shouldn't have

24
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: had in this bill, but we were, in a sense

25
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: forced if we want to build our military, we were

26
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: forced to have. There are some things that we should

27
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: have in the bill. But I say to Congress, I

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: will never sign another bill like this again. I'm not

29
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: gonna do it again. Nobody read it. It's only hours old.

30
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: Some people don't even know what it is. At one

31
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: point three trillion dollars, it's the second largest ever President

32
00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: Obama signed one that was actually larger. Welcome to the buck,

33
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: Sex and show everybody. Great to have you here. Look,

34
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: I told you yesterday. You gotta give you gotta give

35
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: the Buxter credit for keeping it real. I told you

36
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: yesterday it's not it's not a good it's not a

37
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: good budget. It's not Okay, alright, you could I could

38
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: take the reflective you know, well whatever, you know. Trump

39
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: is gonna do the right thing here and there. I

40
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: trust the Republicans in Congress, and Nope, not only do

41
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a bad at Trump I thought it

42
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 1: was a bad bill, but he said look, I got

43
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: no choice because I gotta fund the military. Um I go.

44
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: I have a lot of thoughts on this thought For

45
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: one thing, that there's the there's the Rand Paulian view

46
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: of all this stuff. I think this is why people

47
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: are so upset with politics, because when the Republicans are

48
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: out of power, when they're in the minority, they are

49
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: the conservative party. But then when they get in the majority,

50
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: there is no conservative party. Democrats don't care about spending

51
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: any of the time. Republicans seem to care about it

52
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: when they're criticizing Democrats. But now the Republicans are in

53
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: your arch Republicans are like Katie bar the door. He

54
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: talked about border security. I'm I'm flipping through the pages

55
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: today reading the bill. I find out there is money

56
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: for border security in Tunisia and Jordan's. We have border

57
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: security money in the Middle East, putting hot border security

58
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: money for the US. Now, I think that everything that

59
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: Ran Paul says, the Senator Paul says here is is correct.

60
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: I don't think any of you disagree with it. What

61
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: is there really to disagree on? Clearly there is something

62
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: something happening here where How different is this really than

63
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: what we would have expected if you had, if you

64
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: had a Democrat Congress. Well, actually here Senator Paul said

65
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: that too. You know, I'm kind of old school. I

66
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: think you ought to read the bills, you know, before

67
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: we vote on them. This is bill. We got it

68
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: last night at midnight. I've been working all day diligently

69
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: through the bill, and I'm up to page six hundred.

70
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: But you know, I've still got quite a bit of

71
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: ways to go to read the bill. As far as

72
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: the content of the bill, this could have been written

73
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: by President Obama and liberal Democrats. When I ran in

74
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: two thousand and ten, when we had that Tea Party hideaway,

75
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: we were opposed to President obama spending, and we were

76
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: opposed to President Obama's trillion dollar deficits. This bill will

77
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: give us a trillion dollar deficit this year. And there

78
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: you have it. Trillion dollar deficits this year, twenty one trillions.

79
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: Where we are that's gonna get worse. Now. I know

80
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: how this how this goes in a conservative on the

81
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: conservative media side of things. So let me just let

82
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: me dispense with that for a moment. Here. What people

83
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: are gonna say, You're gonna hear a lot of like, oh,

84
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm so I'm so disappointed at the Republicans. Oh my gosh,

85
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: what are the Republicans doing this? And and particularly people

86
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: throwing throwing shade at the Republican Congress and not so

87
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: much at the president because President Trump right now is

88
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: very popular and he's the leader of the Republican Party.

89
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: It's a lot of different media folks are gonna say

90
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: all of the Congress is just disappointing us. It's all

91
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: about It's all about, you know, Mitch McConnell or Merchant McConnell.

92
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell sounds a little bit like David Gergan apparently,

93
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: but different, same but different, Carl. It's all our southern

94
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: and southern version of southern version of David Gerham. Um.

95
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: But here's here's what I want to tell you, because,

96
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: as I say, I like to just just spew truth

97
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: from the freedom of whenever I can. And this is

98
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: what we want, folks, this is what we all want.

99
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: Other people aren't gonna tell it to you straight. I

100
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: am telling it to you straight. This is what we want. Now.

101
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: You may not, I may not, but we, as the

102
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: American people right now in general, do want this and

103
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: here's what I mean by it. We want to spend

104
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: more then we take in. Nobody wants to say that

105
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: the debt is a problem. Everyone wants to say that

106
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: their projects are too important. Everyone wants to say that

107
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: the military needs more money than even Trump asked for,

108
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: tens of billions, more than he asked for. This is

109
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: the It's like the old, the old Santa Claus situation.

110
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to say there's no Santa Claus, especially when

111
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: they're all getting presents. So I'm here to tell you

112
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: there is no Santa Claus. Unless you're a kid who's

113
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: listening to the show who's under the age of ten.

114
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: Then there is a Santa Claus. And I'm being a jerk.

115
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Don't listen to me. Kids under ten, Little team Little Team,

116
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: Buck Squad. You have mom and dad tell you that

117
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: this part of it, it's different. Um, you know, Bucks

118
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,799
Speaker 1: just having a bad day. Mom and Dad will explain.

119
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: But for the rest of you, we want this. We

120
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: want entitlements to remain untouched. We think we can spend

121
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: more than we take in and continue to do so

122
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: when we're already twenty one trillion dollars in debt. Spending

123
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: is popular. Free stuff, goodies, government programs, they're popular. Cuts

124
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: are not popular. Less spending is not popular. People say, oh,

125
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: you know, buck the six six billion dollars for the

126
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: opioid crisis. What am I gonna say? We I talked

127
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: to you about the opioid crisis here all the time,

128
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: or frequently, not all the time, but I certainly have

129
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: been raising the alarm about it. It's terrible what's going on.

130
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: But as I've tried to tell you, it's about the

131
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: illegal drug war much more so than prescription drugs and

132
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: prescription drug treatment. So no one wants to hear that

133
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: we don't have money for that important thing fill in

134
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: the blank. No one wants to hear that eventually this

135
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: is going to be too much. And now I can't

136
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: tell you when. If I could, by the way, i'd

137
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: prepare my you know, i'd prepare my portfolio and try

138
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: to play the markets that you know, there's all kinds

139
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: of ways you could probably try to capitalize off of

140
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: a massive economic collapse, although the collapse could be so

141
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: big that there's no such thing as a safe haven, really, right,

142
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: that's also a thing that you have to be aware of.

143
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: But right, however, everybody wants we want. We want the

144
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: markets to be have, we want robust growth, jobs, all

145
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: this stuff. Everything. We want to let the good times roll.

146
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to hear about how we can have all

147
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: these things. What's the real problem with our budget right now?

148
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: The real problem is now there's gonna be a whole

149
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: other focus we'll talk about at a moment, which is

150
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: different pet projects of members of Congress and on the

151
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: left and fine right. Discretionary spending. That's an issue too,

152
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: because the politics involved in what's going on here. But

153
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: the real problem is entitlement spending. The real problem is

154
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: that we don't want to raise the age of retirement,

155
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: we don't want to change social security, we don't want

156
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: to do means testing. We all want to take out

157
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: about twice what we pay in over the course of

158
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: our lives to medicare. And you can't and neither neither

159
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: side of the al will touch it. Trump says he's

160
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: not going to touch it. That's the real problem Medicaid spending.

161
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't really want to touch that either. You're gonna

162
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: let that keep on more and more free healthcare, more

163
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: and more free healthcare for more and more non Americans too.

164
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna see illegal is getting more and more free

165
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: healthcare in the years ahead. Just wait, you have a

166
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: Democrat Congress and now the military, and I understand the

167
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: argument for this, and this is what Trump was really

168
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: focused on. He's saying that, you know, this is uh,

169
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: this is necessary to rebuild our military. It's been he

170
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: says decimated. I think that's a bit strong, but uh,

171
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: he says it's been underfunded in very important ways in

172
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: recent years. Okay, but what are we allowed to cut? Then?

173
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: What can we do less spending? I'm not saying cut

174
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: like we're not going to have it anymore. What can

175
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: we spend less on as a country or what changes

176
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: can we make the future spending? The answer right now

177
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: is nothing. The answer is that Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell,

178
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: all the rest of them don't want this to change.

179
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: And I have to ask the question, or are we

180
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: really just gonna rely on having uh, some slightly better

181
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: federal judges in place as the explanation for what we've

182
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: really gotten from a Republican Congress. That's it. That's good,

183
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: but is that really enough? Is that going to get

184
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: you out to the polls in the mid terms to vote.

185
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. Uh, this is this

186
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: is the situation, folks. We have two political parties that

187
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: understand that the route to power, to both achieving and

188
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: maintaining power is by spending public money, which is your

189
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: money and my money. But they want to spend it.

190
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: Spending gets votes. You're giving people stuff all under the

191
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: pretense that it's just coming from somebody else. But most

192
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: of you realize that that's always a false a false bargain.

193
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: It's a false bargain or a faustian bargain, depends on

194
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: how we are going to frame it. So this is

195
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: this is disappointing. There's there's no way around that. It's disappointing.

196
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: Trump said he was gonna veto at Lord said he

197
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: might veto it last night. I'm like, all right, here

198
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: is here's the fight here that we have. What's the

199
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: words that have sensitive to send it back with a veto?

200
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: Where's the wall funding? We were promised the wall. We

201
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: weren't promised a few miles of wall that's like a

202
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: monument and an ugly one. I want an actual wall. Nope,

203
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: no wall or thirty three miles of the couple of

204
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: thousand miles of the US Mexico border. It'd be much

205
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: better to spend the six six billion dollars they're talking about,

206
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: in addition for opioid treatment to stopping the inflow of

207
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: illegal drugs in the country, because then you can actually

208
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: stop the heroin overdoses and the fence and the overdoses

209
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: that are happening. Better to, you know, deal with the

210
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: problem at at the route if you can. But I

211
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: don't know what the president honestly, you know he's saying that.

212
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: He said, I started out the show, I will never

213
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: sign a bill like this again. If that's how the

214
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: President feels about it, why is he signing in the

215
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: first place. His base would stay with him, the party

216
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: would stay with him if you sent this back and

217
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: he said, no, dice, no go. We can we we

218
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: can do better than this. And then there's some other

219
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: parts of this too that I'm not even clear where

220
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: what the President's going for me. And this is what

221
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: he said about DOCTA recipients. DOCTA recipients have been treated

222
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: extremely badly by the Democrats. We wanted to include DOCCA.

223
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: We wanted to have him in this bill. Eight hundred

224
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: thousand people, and actually it could even be more. And

225
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: we wanted to include DOCCA in this bill. The Democrats

226
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: would not do it. I wanted to include DOCTA. Does

227
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: he mean he's saying we wanted to have an amnesty

228
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: in exchange for wall funding, because that was what was

229
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: talked about a while ago. But okay, that's not that's

230
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: not particularly encouraging either, folks. Look, I if you if

231
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: you think there's a way, if you think there's a

232
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: way to to look at this so that it doesn't

233
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: seem like a capitulation something of a of a defeat.

234
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, in September, right before the mid terms, then

235
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: political courage is gonna happen. Then disruption is going to

236
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: be the order of the day. Where we all know

237
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: that's not the case. This was it, This was it

238
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: to have a different budget. There's not gonna be another

239
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: shot like this unless Republicans beat all expectations in the

240
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: mid terms. But even then, even then, I'm not sure

241
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a change. I think Republicans are the

242
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: Republican party. The Congress is complicit in this. Spending is popular,

243
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: cuts are not. It's as simple as that. And until

244
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: there's a real until we feel the pain of our overspending,

245
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: of the government's overspending. This does not stop because foresight, wisdom,

246
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: preparing for the future, those are not sexy. I'm gonna

247
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: make it rain in here. Who wants some cash? That's sexy,

248
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 1: That gets people excited, And that's what this budget it

249
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: is really a reflection of. And then there's some other

250
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: problems in it that I'll get to in just a second.

251
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: I wish I could say that, you know, I know

252
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: it's Friday. I want to be in a good movie too.

253
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: So well, but we've got other things we're talking about

254
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: as well. Uh, talk the terrorist attack and well that's intense.

255
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: But the terroristtack in France. Got a couple of authors

256
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: joining us later in the show, because I like to

257
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: mix things up. On Friday's we'll talk about the never

258
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: Again movement with David Hogg at the head of it,

259
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: and uh, a whole lot more. Oh it is, it

260
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: is Friday. So as as per our tradition, people keep

261
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: asking if I'm back, and I haven't really had an answer,

262
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: but now yeah, I'm taking I'm back. You have a

263
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: right to be dead. Friday, don't come food eight four

264
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: four nine hundred to eight to five eight four nine

265
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: buck your thoughts. Welcome here, my friends, and how much

266
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: more stay with me? Scene in the Senate Budget Committee

267
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: this past week was a disappointing when I think for

268
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: the American people, they seem to be in full scale

269
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: retreat from spending cuts and are talking about raising people's

270
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: taxes again when push comes to show, I guess it's

271
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: always easier to let the taxpayer take the fall, no

272
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: matter well, let them be forewarned, no matter how well

273
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: intentioned they might be, no matter what their illusions might be.

274
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: I have my veto pen drawn and ready for any

275
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: tax increase that Congress might even think of sending up.

276
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: And I have only one thing to say to the

277
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: tax increases. Go ahead, make my day. The President Reagan

278
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: getting in a little action movie quote Friday, with go ahead,

279
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: make my day, Go ahead, make my day. There you go,

280
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: I said. I think Reagan said it best. Actually I

281
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: think the Reagan version is even better than the Eastwood version.

282
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: That's right, Um, all right, So this is not a

283
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: new fight. The president has been well a Republican presidents

284
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: have been trying to deal with this for a long time.

285
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: Dynamics have played out before. But Reagan wielded that veto

286
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: pan a lot. I think, I think didn't Reagan seventy

287
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: eight times or something. Vito a lot of a lot

288
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: of Reagan vitos over his time, So you can check

289
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: me on that one, producer, Mike. But I think we

290
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: both know that whatever comes up, whatever comes up from

291
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: the from the buck cranium, tends to be has to

292
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: be backed up by the facts. Now I'm really stepping

293
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: on it if I get this one wrong. Up Bam,

294
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: Thank you, John. We got a lot of calls. Let's

295
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: take some here. Greg in Mississippi, Hey, Greg, Greg, Hey,

296
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: can you hear me? We can, sir, very good? Are

297
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: all doing today? All right? What's in your mind? It's

298
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: it's not good day for us, I don't think. But anyway,

299
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: I think the I think the Democrats pulled a coup

300
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: today on the genuss we got for on our side.

301
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: I think in in at the end of six months

302
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: when they're we're in this position again, which is going

303
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: to be right before election, that the uh Democrats are

304
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: gonna have the upper hand. And I think the I

305
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: think the Republicans capitulated the the majority in the Senate

306
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: today on the Democrats evidently don't need to win anything now. Yeah,

307
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: I just have to wonder if the Democrats can get

308
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: the budget priorities they want through the legislature when they

309
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 1: don't have the House or the Senate. They're in great shape.

310
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: Works for them, right, exactly exactly what do they need?

311
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: They they are, They got the high grounds, they got

312
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: everything they could possibly imagine. How because we've got a

313
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: bunch of good this worse the spineless people. I mean,

314
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: you know TOMPs setting up here saying that I signed

315
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: this bill for eight eighty billion dollars, I signed this legislate.

316
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 1: It look, it's it's uh. You can never get too

317
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: excited about something the president signs into law when he's like,

318
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: I never want to do this again. Right, So that's

319
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: not good. Greg. I think we're I think we're on

320
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: an agreement on that, one Shield said, And thank you

321
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: for the call from now in Mississippi, folks, lines are open.

322
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: We got some calls in. We could take some more

323
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: if you want. Eight four four, eight to five. I've

324
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: got to talk some more about this, and then I'll

325
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: have some other updates for you, including on that terrorist

326
00:18:45,800 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: attack in France. The Islamic State inspires yet another. He's

327
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: holding the line for America, buck sex in his back.

328
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: We funded the initial down payment of one point six

329
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 1: billion dollars. We're going to be starting work literally on

330
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: Monday on not only some new wall, but also fixing

331
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: existing walls and existing acceptable fences. There are some areas

332
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: that you have to see through. You have to be

333
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: able to see through the other side in order to

334
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: see what's coming. And in many cases it's not a

335
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: pretty picture. Uh, this is a short term funding, but

336
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: it's immediate. This is the premier issue he ran on,

337
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: and he's getting nothing at the end of the year,

338
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: and this is our big leverage moment. And the folks

339
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: back home may not know. The Senate put in the

340
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: last budget that they're not even going to do a

341
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: budget next year, so no chance for wall funding, no

342
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: chance to get the Good lad Bill, and the major

343
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: immigration piece of legislation in the House that addresses the

344
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: DOCCA brings the kids out of the shadows, but in

345
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: exchange for rational policy going forward that the Asident believes him.

346
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: So yeah, he gotta he gotta end this thing until

347
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: he gets something of what he asked for as president.

348
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: When we have the House and the Senate. It's quite

349
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: amazing your President Trump there and then Representative Dave Bratt.

350
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: I look, I can't get excited at one point six

351
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: billion dollars for the wall. That's, like I said yesterday,

352
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: that's uh, saving for your house and putting a few

353
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: quarters in the piggy bank. Technically, it is saving for

354
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: the house. It'll take you a few hundred years though,

355
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: and at at one point six billion a year, it's

356
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: you're you're looking at well beyond a Trump presidency to

357
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: actually get a wall built. And that's if he wins

358
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: both terms. So just keep that in mind. Another part

359
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: of this that I I mentioned it yesterday, I wanted

360
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: to give you some more specifics now there is there's

361
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: five hundred five hundred million dollars funding for planned parenthood

362
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: in this budget. The difference between the Republicans the Democrats

363
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: on a lot of issues is very murky. Life is

364
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: supposed to be one of the only ones that's clear, right,

365
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: and and it is clear at least on a policy level.

366
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: You cannot be a Democrat now and not be pro choice,

367
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: pro abortion. You can't, and you're not welcome in the

368
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: Democrat party. More In fact, I saw some statistics early

369
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: in the week about how you know, back in the

370
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: seventies and then the in the eighties, almost half of

371
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: Democrats were pro I'm talking about in Congress, we're pro life.

372
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: So you had a lot of pro life Democrats. And

373
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: then it's just less and less and less, and now

374
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party has signed on to be a party

375
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: of abortion extremists. There can be no limitations, no nothing,

376
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 1: nine months, anytime, any reason, that's it. And then special

377
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: privileges for abortion clinics about all you can't you know,

378
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: no standing in the pathway and all all. You know,

379
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: the First Amendment be damned right, because people need to

380
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: people need to get abortion. According to Democrats, it's a

381
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,239
Speaker 1: it's a I was gonna say, a god given right,

382
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: but that's actually the the opposite of what it is. Um,

383
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: that's how Democrats view it though, that it's a it's

384
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: a I was gonna say, it's sacred to Democrats, but

385
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: even that it's not sacred, I don't know, it's it's

386
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: coming from the other direction. Um. Here's what Alexandra de

387
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: Sanctus put out today, and I wanted to go through

388
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: it with you quickly. On what this budget does for

389
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: Planned Parenthood and what's really at stake here she's a

390
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: National review and at the National Review Institute, um so

391
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: here's what she writes about the five million dollars. Here

392
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: are some quick facts on what Planned Parenthood, which will

393
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,239
Speaker 1: receive half a billion dollars from the Omitibus bill our

394
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: our Republican Congress just passed, was up to last year.

395
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: Planned Parenthood clinics performed three h than eighty four abortions

396
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,719
Speaker 1: last year. That's over one third of all abortions in

397
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: the US annually. Abortion is not just three percent of

398
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 1: what Planned Parenthood does. The group fabricates that statistic by

399
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: conflating the number of clients with the number of services

400
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: to downplay the group's provision of abortion. Planned Parenthood performed

401
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: eighty three abortions last fall for every one adoption referral.

402
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: It offered fewer than eight thousand prenatal services to pregnant

403
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: mothers last year, compared to three hundred and twenty one thousand,

404
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: three hundred and eighty four abortions. Planned Parenthood does not

405
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 1: provide crucial healthcare that women can't get anywhere else. There

406
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: are just over six hundred Planned Parenthood clinics across the

407
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: country compared to over thirteen thousand federally qualified healthcare centers,

408
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: which offer a wide array of services without providing abortions.

409
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: These federally qualified healthcare centers out numbered Planned Parenthood clinics

410
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: twenty to one, and yet we're supposed to believe that

411
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: Planned Parenthood is somehow serving millions of women who will

412
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: have nowhere else to turn. In California alone, the state

413
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: with the most Planned Parenthood clinics by far, it's not

414
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: surprising there are just a hundred and fourteen Planned parent

415
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: locations compared to one thousand, nine hundred I'm sorry, one thousand,

416
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: six hundred and nine federally qualified healthcare centers. Planned Parenthood's

417
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: net assets at the end of last fiscal year told

418
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: them more than one point six billion dollars. The group

419
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: spent hundreds of millions on movement building, which is just

420
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: pouring money into electing Democrats who will keep directing money

421
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: to Planned Parenthood. Despite all these facts, and despite Planned

422
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: Parenthood's intense loyalty to the Democrat Party, a Republican Congress

423
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: and Republican president just directed yet another half a billion

424
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: dollars to Planned Parenthood to fund its abortion business. This

425
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: is completely unacceptable that all from Alexandra Dissanctus of National Review,

426
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: Every single Republican that I'm aware of in the Congress

427
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: is pro life. I have not heard or seen a

428
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 1: single one of them in the last twenty four hours.

429
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: Make if they've made noise over this, not nearly enough,

430
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: not nearly enough. They do not have to fund Plant Parenthood.

431
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: They do not, but they did. Why can't have a

432
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: fight over this because we're gonna lose a shutdown at

433
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: some point. We are making too many excuses under the

434
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: guise of political calculation and with Plant parent and I

435
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: think we are well beyond that. This is not you know,

436
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: can we fix DOCCA later or figure something out. This

437
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: is a matter of urgency. It is now, It is

438
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: every day, it is every passing hour. And say, oh,

439
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: buck well, they could continue with private donations, Yeah they could.

440
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: What if it what if that number of three thousand,

441
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: three eighty four was cut down by twenty or thinking

442
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: how many lives that would be and just as a

443
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: as a function of funding and access, how many lives

444
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: to be saved? It seems seems more than worth it

445
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: to me. But you know, a lot of Republican cowardice

446
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: on display, especially on this issue. I think it's because

447
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: they know that the Republican who actually stands up and

448
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: says he wants to do something about this, the elected

449
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 1: representative who really wants to fight on this issue, the

450
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: entire fire and fury of the left. Pardon the expression.

451
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: They've ruined that now with that book, but the entire

452
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: venom of the progressive left will be brought to bear

453
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: on that person, Dell. They will nothing outrageous Democrats now

454
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,719
Speaker 1: more than anyone who who who is not just talking

455
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: tough about stopping abortions, but actually tries to do something

456
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: about it anyway. So I I see no, I see

457
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: no excuse for this. I don't understand what they think

458
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: the excuses. Uh. And there is there is a shame here.

459
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: There is shame in this, and uh it's frustrating, it

460
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: really is. All right. I want to I want to

461
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: take some calls here because it is Friday, and I've

462
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: been saying we would, um Chuck in Virginia. Welcome, sir Chuck.

463
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: You there, Yeah, we're here. We're here, you buddy. What's up?

464
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: I'm calling about this budget? Um, and I'll listen to

465
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: you saying I listened to the guy from Mississippi say

466
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: it about the Republicans being fearful. They're not afraid. If

467
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: they were, they wouldn't fund land parenthood because I am

468
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: ready to go to war with them over it. It's

469
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: not pro choice. It's killing babies. That's what's happening. And

470
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: now my tax money, again with the party that I

471
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: have supported, is going to kill babies. And I'm a

472
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: religious man, and God clearly says that he hates the

473
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: hands that shed innocent blood. And I'm to a point

474
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: now where I'm almost ready to sign over all my

475
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: property just to my wife and stop paying taxes. So

476
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: let's see if the First Amendment will cover me, because religiously,

477
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: it's an abomination for my tax money, my money to

478
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: be killing children that are unborn. Of our money is

479
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: now ask form of slavery in the United States. It is.

480
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: It is all of our money. Now, Chuck. You know

481
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: they're they're they're taking five million dollars from taxpayers to

482
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: do this under the pretense that it's for health care.

483
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: It's a lie. It's a lie. I know, you know it.

484
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: I know it. But people need to hear it more.

485
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: That is a lie. We are paying for that, we

486
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: are paying for those procedures. But the real lie is

487
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: that the Republicans are afraid. They're not afraid. Well, I

488
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: think I think the answer, Truck, is actually what what

489
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: are they afraid of? I think you're saying they're not

490
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: afraid of their voters, and they're not afraid of, you know,

491
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: of selling us out and funding planned paradode right, and

492
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: they're not afraid of continuing to spend in this out

493
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: of control fashion. So yeah, the same as the Democrat Party.

494
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: The Democrat Party in the inner circle of the Republican

495
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: Party both want the same thing. I think they are

496
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: way too close. They are too they are too close

497
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,479
Speaker 1: for comfort. Chuck. I share your passion. I very much

498
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: appreciate your call and thank you for staying with us.

499
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: Uh Paul, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Hey Paul, Hey buck shield tie. Okay,

500
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: So a few weeks ago I called you about game

501
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: theory and the prisoner's dilemma and Trump's successful use at

502
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: T for TATA as a strategy. Well, I think Congress

503
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: gave him a tat last night, and he did not

504
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: give them a tip they deserved. He didn't even show

505
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: it to him. Did I just get beeped out? No,

506
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: you didn't get but I don't really, So what are

507
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: you trying to say? I don't understand. He should he

508
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: should have he should have vetoted. Oh he should have Vito. Yeah, yeah,

509
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: they they challenged him. He should have given him. He

510
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: should have given him a tip for the tat they

511
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: gave him. He should have been tip. Okay, let's listen

512
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: to different analogy or whatever. It's like, it's too crazy

513
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: that one. Alright, Paul, No, no, it's all right, go

514
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: ahead of you, but just you know, well, well, I

515
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: think that he's also kind of showing that he's totally

516
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: ready to be in the Republican Rhino leadership because like,

517
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: instead of whining about the line item Vito, he should

518
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: have recognized that he had he has more tools than

519
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: he says. Now. I'm sure that somebody told him he's

520
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: got a pen, but maybe he doesn't realize he's also

521
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: got a pocket, which I think the Haberdasher Coolidge invented.

522
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: It's done a pocket veto. Yeah, thank you for calling him, Paul.

523
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: The by the way, I said seventy eight Reagan vitos correct,

524
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: But that's if you add the the general general veto

525
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: to the pocket veto, right, it was like thirty six

526
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: and well the numbers nine. There we go, So that

527
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: was correct, by the way, just just pulling that one

528
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: out there, you know, just doing what I do. Uh,

529
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: let's talk about some other stuff though here for a moment.

530
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: We we have and the possibility of changing some of

531
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: the Senate rules so that you'll actually get nominees through

532
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: maybe going so called nuclear option on this. I like

533
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: the idea we should the filibuster. We should talk about

534
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: the filibuster. We come back, and then also we'll discuss

535
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: this a terror attack in France, a reminder of the

536
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: thread the Islamic state that is still out there. And

537
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: we've got a lot more stuff. We're gonna switch it

538
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: off a bit though, So Team quick Break coming and

539
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. We have to get rid of

540
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: the filibus to rule and go to fifty one votes

541
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: in the Senate. If we're going to have really sustained

542
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: continued success, we have to get a lot of great

543
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: legislation approved, and without the filibuster rule, it'll happen just

544
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: like magic. He is one hundred right about the filibuster.

545
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: The filibuster is the root cause of this mess. There

546
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: is a reason that it's just one giant No one

547
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: reads it, omnibus bill to fund everything in the government,

548
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: and if you don't sign it, the whole government shuts down.

549
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: It's because the minority party and both parties have done

550
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: it threatens to filibuster each of the individual appropriation bills

551
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: that are supposed to fund the government. Our system actually

552
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: can work if it's not filibustered. But because you can

553
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: get leverage over filibustering at one bill at a time,

554
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: so the government doesn't get his money that the proper

555
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: the Department of Agriculture gets this money, the Department of

556
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: Commerce gets its money. If you don't do it one

557
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: at a time, you can get leveraged by holding the

558
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: entire government funding hostage. And that's what the filibuster does.

559
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: I agree. I think you gotta get rid of the filibuster.

560
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: I think that this is nonsense. What what ends up happening,

561
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: and you've probably already seen some of this today, is

562
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: that you have a you have a situation where everyone's

563
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: gonna say, well, you know, we just need to elect

564
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: more Republicans. Well, we also have to be realistic. You

565
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: have a Republican House, Republican Senate, and a Republican president.

566
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: You have a unified GOP government. If the if, what

567
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna be told now is oh, sorry, it's not enough.

568
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: We need to have supermajorities and all you know, No,

569
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: that's not how this works, and that's not what's supposed

570
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: to happen. That's not the way the Constitution set all

571
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: the stuff up. You need supermajorities to get anything done.

572
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: Get rid of the filibuster, absolutely, get rid of it.

573
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: It is um, it is abused, and it is slowing

574
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: things down. And no minority party should be able to

575
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: do exactly what Ari Fleischer there. They former a White

576
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: House Press secretary under Bush stairs they do, which is

577
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: they'll just make sure you can't do it. So yeah,

578
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: I say get rid of it because I don't want

579
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: to hear about how we need to. You know, if

580
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: only we had more Republicans, then they'd finally get things done.

581
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: Does it? Remember every time someone says that, I want

582
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: to say, really did we did we not repeal or

583
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't even a full repeal, but did we not

584
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: change Obamacare? Because we didn't have enough Republican votes. No,

585
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: we just didn't have enough Republicans who would vote to

586
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: do it. Remember last summer, Yeah, I remember it. I

587
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: remember how that went down. Not that we needed more Republicans,

588
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: we were more Republicans, we just needed more real ones

589
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: we're willing to stand and actually do something. So I

590
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: get a little sick of the goal post shifting and

591
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: all the changing of changing around with this stuff. Charlie

592
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: and Ocean City, Maryland. Good to have you, sir, a

593
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: shield Bucks outside. Charlie, Hey, I was, I was a

594
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 1: little disappointed with the President not vetoing. But I think

595
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: this weekend he's going to change his mind grastically because

596
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: I guarantee you his Twitter account is blowing up. So

597
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: what do you think what will happen this weekend? His

598
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: Twitter account will blow up, meaning that he's gonna I'm

599
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: not I'm not following you here. Ye. People are going

600
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: to tweet him. Oh he people are gonna tweet him

601
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: about how they're unhappy. Okay, And I blame two people,

602
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: K Street, Ryan in H Street, McConnell. Hm. That's that's

603
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: they're They're the drag on Arab But don't you think

604
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,439
Speaker 1: Trump should veto it to force their hand. I mean

605
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: the shot I wish you would. Last night when I

606
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: went to bed, I was happy. Yeah, me too. I

607
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna do it. Yeah, And then he didn't,

608
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: and I thought, Man, he couldn't knocked this thing out

609
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: of the park. He could have made those rhinos come

610
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: back and do their job. Man. I agree, Charlie, thank

611
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: you for calling him. My friend got to talk to

612
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: you from Maryland. Uh, Team, I'm gonna just bring up

613
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: to speed on what happened in France. There was a

614
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: standoff terrorist inspired by ISIS. We'll get to that more

615
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: coming up. He's back with you now, because when it

616
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops.

617
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 1: You are now entering the Freedom Technical Operations Center. All

618
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: sensitive programs must be kept strictly. Need to know Team

619
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: Buck is cleared and ready to the Buck brief. According

620
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 1: to the local mayor who is speaking to the Roys

621
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: News agency. He says, all those hostages have been released,

622
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: but the gunman is now holding a police officer as

623
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: a hostage, so the hostage situation is ongoing. But the

624
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: shoppers who are inside that supermarket have been released and

625
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: a police office is that was earlier today, Um and

626
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: that was a hostage situation that has actually been resolved

627
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: in France, resolved with the shooting of the terrorist. The

628
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: Islamic State inspired this terrorist. I'll give you some of

629
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 1: the details of it now. Just a reminder that isis

630
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: is still out there as a group but also as

631
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 1: a as an ideology. Their propaganda often uses the phrase

632
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: remains and expands, the Caliphate remains and expands, and that

633
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: is what they put out after this particular incident. So

634
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: you had a gunman named red wah on Loch Deem.

635
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: He is a Moroccan um Moroccan national who moved to France,

636
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: I believe, although he might have been born in France

637
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: and to check on his nationality originally of Moroccan descent. Um.

638
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: He walked into a supermarket in trebe Trebez in France

639
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: and he took hostages. He killed a member of staff

640
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: and a customer and then he he sees hostages there

641
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:37,439
Speaker 1: a local member of the police and Francis gendar named

642
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Colonel ar No bell Trump, who was forty four

643
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: years old, offered to take the place of a female

644
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: hostage in the supermarket, to swap himself for the female

645
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 1: hostage and so she UH. She was able to get

646
00:38:55,400 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: to safety unharmed, and the UH Lieutenant Colonel here Beltrum,

647
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: the French gendarme, left his phone on so that law

648
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: enforcement could hear exactly what was going on inside the

649
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: supermarket during the hostage standoff, and then somehow it seems

650
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 1: the terrorists perhaps became aware that the phone was on.

651
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: Something happened and he started shooting. The gendarm hit him

652
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: three times. He's now fighting for his life in the hospital.

653
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: But once that shooting started with the UH, well, I'm

654
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: sure they could hear it outside anyway, but he had

655
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: the phone on him and law enforcement immediately swooped in

656
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: and eliminated this terrorist gunman red Juan lock Deem, So

657
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: yet another jee hottest incident. It's amazing, you know, on

658
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: some of these news stories about it. They also have

659
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: him in The Guardian. They have a whole rundown of

660
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: the major Isis inspired terrorist attacks in France. And you

661
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: have the the Cowache brothers who gunned down eleven people

662
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: at Charlie Ebdom magazine in January. A knife attack against

663
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: soldiers guarding a Jewish community center in Nice in February,

664
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: a car attack in January a guy ran into four soldiers.

665
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 1: UH police officer and his partner were stabbed to death

666
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: in the outskirts of Paris June. I mean, I just

667
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: keep reading down and then you had the Bata Klan massacre.

668
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: You've had some very very horrific terror attacks in France

669
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: and just the last couple of years, all isis inspired

670
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: or isis directed, and it is a reminder of the

671
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: threat that we continue to face. The Islamic stay it

672
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: has already claimed this attack and they are saying, of

673
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: course there will be more. Not clear yet whether this

674
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 1: red one lochtem fellow was a member of the Islamic

675
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: State or just as the as ISIS propaganda calls it

676
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: a lie in acting on behalf of the Islamic State.

677
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 1: But this is still very much out there, my friends,

678
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: and something we have to keep an eye on. One

679
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: more thing that I have not touched on that this

680
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: is reminding me of. It's not it's really a separate story,

681
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: but it has to do with what the Turks have

682
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: been up to in Syria. The Turks are engaged in

683
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: military operations in northern Syria, clearing out areas held by

684
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: our Kurdish allies who have been taking the fight to

685
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: the Islamic State in the area of what was the Caliphate,

686
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: and we are hearing barely a peep about it in

687
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: this country. And the Turkish government led by Ritwan, who's

688
00:41:55,560 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: really rather anti American and very problematic from our respective

689
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: and a and a despot in the making, if not

690
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 1: a despot already is saying that he's going to go

691
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: into a rock even and clear out Kords from some

692
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: of the areas where they have retaken ground from the

693
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: Islamic State in Iraq. This is a this is a

694
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: big problem that we should all be more aware of.

695
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: And the media silence on this, I mean it is

696
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: it is should be such an embarrassment that CNN and

697
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: just runs night after night, story after story about women

698
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: claiming to have had affairs with Trump over a decade ago,

699
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: any number of stories more important than these. And beyond that,

700
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: the Kurds are facing some really uh, really dangerous situations

701
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: in Syria on on our behalf, and they are us

702
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: allies and have been for a long time, and we're

703
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: not doing nearly enough for them. So you know, the

704
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: news media is focused on some very superficial stuff that

705
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: should not be getting anywhere near the coverage and attention

706
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: that it does. And it just frustrates me. And here

707
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:06,919
Speaker 1: here I am as I'm literally talking to you. They've

708
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: got they've got Karen McDougall alleged affair with Trump on

709
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: the screen again. CNN has turned into the the Trump's

710
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: alleged affairs channel. It was the Russia Collusion channel, now

711
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: it's the Trump's alleged affairs channel. I mean, I really

712
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: do think the places is a disgrace. Now. It used

713
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: to be that I didn't want to be affiliated with

714
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,959
Speaker 1: it because it had gone. Look these channels change over time,

715
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 1: and there's a but they they have just gone into

716
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 1: the sewer over there. It was always left a center,

717
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,439
Speaker 1: but it used to be a place where you could

718
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:42,240
Speaker 1: have a debate and discussion maybe and now it has uh,

719
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: it has just lost it. It has lost it. I

720
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: am I am appaulled, even though I should expect it,

721
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: I suppose anyway. That's but that's the update that I

722
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: have for you. On France. This gendarme very heroic stuff

723
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: and more of what we expect from law enforcement. Uh

724
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: here and in our Western European allies right putting themselves

725
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: in harm's way. And doing the right thing. Eight four

726
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: four to five. You want to chat with me, by

727
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: all means, call eight buck. We have a lot more

728
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: to get to, including a discussion later this hour of

729
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: David Hoggs latest and we'll get to that. And third hour,

730
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: I've got a couple of wonderful authors will be joining

731
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: talk about their latest books, including Peter Schweitzer has got

732
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 1: a book on just how how brazen some of the corruption,

733
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: the high level corruption, including some Biden family members. What

734
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: a shock. We'll get into that as well. So we've

735
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:53,720
Speaker 1: got much more. Come and stay with me. Vice President,

736
00:44:53,760 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: do you care to respond to the President's tweet? Sir? Oh, no,

737
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: no response. Would you really fight the president? Sure? I

738
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 1: was talking about high school. Go back and read what

739
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: I said. I said high school. Apparently Biden's feeling the

740
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: sting from the Trump tweet there a little bit. He

741
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: sounded very aggravated with that female reporter asking about the

742
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: whole exchange with Trump. You know, I always say it, uh,

743
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: don't don't wrestle gators and to buy you you know,

744
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:35,280
Speaker 1: don't try to don't try to mess with Trump on Twitter.

745
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: You're gonna you'renn get slapped down I mean, you're gonna

746
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 1: get a a buck slap, extraordinary Trump slap if you will.

747
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: And that is what happened with Biden. So he's backing

748
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: off it. They're they're they're delusional if they think the

749
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: Biden really has a shot in I know, people like

750
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: to do you'd like to put these ideas out there

751
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: and they go, oh yeah, Biden. Biden. Biden's is the

752
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 1: guy to get the job done, the really really unimpressive dude.

753
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: Not nothing about him to write home about. Um, lots

754
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: of people say he's he's a little creepy a little bit.

755
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: It can be a little bit weird though sometimes a

756
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 1: little creepy. We'll we'll touch you grabby in photos. I'm

757
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,280
Speaker 1: not just saying, I mean, do you see the photos,

758
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: You're like, whoa. So there's there's that. Um, we'll have

759
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: to see if Biden learns his lesson. Then there's also

760
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: by the way, um bennon making an appearance these days.

761
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: Here's what here's Mr Bannon had to say in the

762
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: New Cycle this week. John Down is a good man,

763
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: and I think that's why essentially more aggressive attorneys got

764
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: brought in that are now you know, I think President

765
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: Trump's going to war. I think it's very obviously He's

766
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: going to go to war in this This is about

767
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 1: John Dowd leaving, who was Trump's chief counsel, and the

768
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 1: whole Russia collusion matter. And we now see that it

769
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: looks at least like Trump doesn't want to take the

770
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: advice of I'm not gonna testify for Mueller. He's he's

771
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,879
Speaker 1: gonna do it, which I gotta say, I think it's

772
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: probably a bad idea, but you know what, do I know?

773
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: I can't pardon myself. So Trump may want He's lining

774
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: up for a very aggressive approach on a number of fronts.

775
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 1: Bolton now as his National security advisor. By the way,

776
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: you think this stuff about firing Carson was true? I

777
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: saw those reports today that he's gonna fire Ben Carson.

778
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 1: I don't know over over a thirty thou dollar Dinet set.

779
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 1: That's expect I get my Dinet sets off of Amazon.

780
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm not a I'm not a fancy guy. Odds aren't

781
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: in his favor. The odds are not his favor. If

782
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: you're when we look at that chart of all the

783
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: different people who have left this administration, you're like, WHOA

784
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: this is it's just like an NFL team of people

785
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: that are very senior who have left administration. Terms of

786
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: how many people there are, it's been been very, very substantial. Yeah,

787
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: So Dowd dropped dropped out of being Trump's chief counsel.

788
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: People say it's because Trump doesn't want to take a

789
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: cautious approach. He want he wants. As Bannon said, I

790
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: think Bennon might be right about this with it. Trump

791
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: wants to go to war with Muller. That'll be interesting.

792
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: I don't I have no idea how that's gonna shake out.

793
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody does. Um, it will be. It

794
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: will be entertaining, though, that much is for sure. Brent

795
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: in New Mexico, you've been very patient and on hold,

796
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 1: how you doing, Brent Hey about Chilili. Now, My point

797
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: is is, uh, this is entirely irresponsible. And you know,

798
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: I didn't vote for I didn't vote for Trump in

799
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 1: the UH in the primaries, but I've stood buying through

800
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: this stuff because I'm looking at actionable results and I'll

801
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: put up with all of this other craps, you know

802
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: what I mean, all of the shenanigans and stuff, but

803
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: this is important to me. You know what I mean.

804
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: As as a husband, I can't go to my wife

805
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: and say, well, I pay the mortgage, but I spent

806
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: the rest of my paycheck on Peyton Manning Jersey in

807
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: a box of beard, you know what I mean. But

808
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: don't worry about little Susan is gonna take care of

809
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: it on the credit card when I die, You know

810
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: what I mean. This is important stuff to be You know,

811
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 1: we're standing in from taking the arrows, but he starts

812
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: signing stuff like this. Congress is definitely in trouble. Everybody's kissed. Man.

813
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: This is not good. Yeah, I think it's a big

814
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: problem because there's not gonna be a better opportunity in

815
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: the future. And I've gotten very tired. This discussion with

816
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: Republicans and tackling the debt has been going on in

817
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,479
Speaker 1: earnest well you could say for decades, but ever since

818
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: the Tea Party. This is supposed to be something that

819
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: conservatives in America understanding, are united on, and we keep

820
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 1: getting told by the Republican Congress, next time we'll fight,

821
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: next time we'll fight. Well, at what point is it

822
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: clear that it's just never, It's not next time, It's

823
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: never time, it's not gonna happen. No, I'm definitely My

824
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: congressman's in deep trouble here. You know. We I've been

825
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 1: to the town halls and stuff, and I've heard the

826
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: whole same drum over and over and over again. And

827
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: I guarantee voted for it. And people are fed up. Man. Yeah,

828
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 1: I I agree, and I understand why they are. I

829
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 1: can't tell them. I can't tell them this is a

830
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: good thing, you know. I come here, I tell you

831
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: guys the truth. This is not what should have happened here.

832
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 1: Trump should have vetoed it forced their hand. You know,

833
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: if they lose a shutdown battle, fine, the midterms are

834
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: far our long ways away. There's plenty of time to regroup, Brent,

835
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: thanks for calling from New Mexico. Shield High. Plenty of

836
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: time to regroup. They keep pushing this as though, oh,

837
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,399
Speaker 1: you know, national script, and they gave more. There's more

838
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: money spent for the military than Trump even even asked for.

839
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 1: It's a matter of national security. I've signed this omnibus

840
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: budget bill. There are a lot of things that I'm

841
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: unhappy about in this bill. There are a lot of

842
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: things that we shouldn't have had in this bill. But

843
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: we were in a sense forced if we want to

844
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: build our military, we were forced to have. There are

845
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: some things that we should have in the bill. But

846
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: I say to Congress, I will never sign another bill

847
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 1: like this again. I'm not gonna do it again. Nobody

848
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,359
Speaker 1: read it. It's only hours old. Some people don't even

849
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: know what it is. At one point three trillion dollars,

850
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: it's the second largest ever. President Obama signed one that

851
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 1: was actually larger. Yeah, it's one point three trillion dollars,

852
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 1: all right. I played a Fleisher clip befour for you.

853
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: By the way, he also spoke about the military aspect

854
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: of this bill. I wanted to play this in the

855
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 1: last hour to get to it, so I just wanted

856
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: to return for one second. Here. Uh, the benefits the

857
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 1: president had today and being able to create a suspense.

858
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: He brought people's attention to the problems of military cutbacks

859
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: and how dire it has been. But remember it only

860
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: got that way because the two parties couldn't agree on

861
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: spending initiatives before, so by default, they set up this

862
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: system of draconian cuts in both domestic and military spending.

863
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 1: Those draconian cuts actually went through in two thou and

864
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: eleven and now they're undone here in two thousand and eighteen,

865
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: they went too far in terms of the military. Um

866
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: so if you were pro military, it's a good day

867
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 1: to see its signed. Uh. You know, I'm as pro

868
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 1: military as anybody. I have a tough time accepting the

869
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: the Leisher analysis here on this that's calling them draconian cuts.

870
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: I remember it was called the sequester. You guys will

871
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: remember that, the sequester, and it was a decrease in

872
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:34,919
Speaker 1: the increase in spending. It was not actually really much

873
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: of a cut of anything. So it's we're gonna spend

874
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: you know this much more than we're already spending. The future. Well,

875
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: now we're gonna spend a little less of what we

876
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: are of the increase of what we're planning to spend

877
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: in the future. We're told things I heard Trump today say, oh,

878
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:53,959
Speaker 1: we've got fewer surface ships in the navy. Well, it's

879
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 1: not really comparable to say that a you know, a

880
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: Nimits class carrier should be counted the same way as

881
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: now a couple of era battleships. Right, we can do

882
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 1: a lot more with it. And I don't I don't

883
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: see this as the victory that people are saying it is.

884
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: I see it as pretty pretty disconcerting. Really, when when

885
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 1: are we gonna have to fight? What are we gonna

886
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 1: have that fight over Obamacare? Everyone? When are we going

887
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:27,839
Speaker 1: to have the fight over immigration? And when I say

888
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: have the fight, I mean the the dust up that

889
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: will happen when they take real action. Right. We got

890
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: Kenny in Boston who thinks this is all calculated. Kenny,

891
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: Good to talk to you, Hi, Buck, How you doing.

892
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: You went to Amherst College. I went to U Mass Amhers.

893
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 1: I think I was there when you were there. But anyway,

894
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: I need to ask you. Do you want to Amhers College?

895
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: You played chess? Right? Yeah? Of course, all all us

896
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 1: amorous nerds played chess. Of course. Well I played chess,

897
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: and I played pretty good. I had a friend of

898
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: mine who everyone, all of the other friends thought was adult.

899
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: You know, he was a stupid stuff. Well, when he

900
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 1: played chess, he would make some seemingly the stupidest move

901
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 1: you could ever. Oh my god, what an idiot. But

902
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: you know what, he ends up winning the match. And

903
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:18,240
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if Trump's uh signing of this bill has

904
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: something to do with that. Um certainly his changes of

905
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: staff and attorneys probably does. I mean, you know, this

906
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:30,439
Speaker 1: makes another word of making it look like, oh my god,

907
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna go to war. You're gonna he's gonna uh

908
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:36,240
Speaker 1: fire Muller. But in reality he isn't. In other words,

909
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a diversion of sorts and Kenny,

910
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: I, I I hope you're right. I hope that this has

911
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: been a thing for a long time. I hope that

912
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,760
Speaker 1: Trump is playing the proverbial four D chess that everyone's

913
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,439
Speaker 1: been talking about for a long time. We'll have to see.

914
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling her from Boston, my friend, have a

915
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: good weekend up there. Oh is this moost? Is this

916
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,839
Speaker 1: most to snow on this Sunday again? No? I heard that.

917
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: That's a bad rumor. Don't don't let me start that

918
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: rumor today. Oh wait, one thing before we go in

919
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 1: the break. Today's today's National Puppy Day. That should make

920
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:17,879
Speaker 1: everyone happy. Actually gonna puppy this weekend because I love poppy.

921
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: He's holding the line for America. Buck Sexton his back.

922
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: I think the president is assembling a war cabinet to

923
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 1: actually have a real war. He's got John Bolton, and

924
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: the only question is when we find ourselves in a

925
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: military conflict. He's in the North Korea or Iran or both,

926
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 1: We're going to be in for a very rough, if

927
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: not calamitous time ahead. Nominate a warhawk as her third

928
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: national security advisor in fourteen months. John Bolton being national

929
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: Security Advisor will push the president and the nation in

930
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: a more dangerous course. He's a hawk on North Korea.

931
00:55:56,520 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 1: I think it raises the stakes for military reaction around

932
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: the world. I don't think there's any doubt about that.

933
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 1: He's a warmonger. He has no problem thinking about starting

934
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: a war there. You have a bit of a media

935
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: reaction to Ambassador Bolton or a c Ann refers to

936
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 1: him a guy who sometimes appears on Fox News, but

937
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: you had an Ambassador Bolton is. He's got them all

938
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 1: very upset. Now they're all they're all very much bothered

939
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 1: by the fact that Trump has a warhawk, and you

940
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: know he's the national security advisor. Okay, And what we

941
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: need to understand is that the first of all, the

942
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: media's response to anything national security related after the eight

943
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: years of obama Ism, we remember Obama escalated dramatically U

944
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 1: S troops in Afghanistan, not a peep, not a peep

945
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:58,280
Speaker 1: from the media about that being warmongering or anything else.

946
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: And I would note that he as It's not like

947
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 1: he escalated and said we're gonna win. We have a

948
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 1: debt to the Afghan people that we're gonna pay pay

949
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: here or you know, whatever we've got, and we've made

950
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,760
Speaker 1: a promise, we're gonna honor it. No, no, he says,

951
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna work to search, we're gonna buit

952
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 1: more troops and they're gonna come home on exactly this time.

953
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 1: So Telebone, you understand to wait, you need to wait.

954
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: You know, the Taliban was very capable of just laying

955
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: low for a bit while we had a surge in place. Yeah,

956
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 1: they falled over Samarias, I understand that. But truth of

957
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: the matter is that surging at the same time that

958
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: you're saying you're gonna withdraw is letting domestic politics determine

959
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: battlefield considerations. And that is what the obamainistration did. But

960
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: they didn't even criticize him for being a war marker.

961
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: Right now you're hearing this, which is such a such

962
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: a pejorative and unfair and nasty way to describe a

963
00:57:56,240 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: guy who has been a been in this era of

964
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: uh national security, this area of national security and and

965
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: and diplomatic service for decades. Um. People are saying that

966
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: they should be terrified, horrified Bolton is dangerous all this stuff,

967
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, I will I want to give some credit

968
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 1: to David French, who's you know, we have him on

969
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: the show. I like David. He's a very very good

970
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: writer and a good guy. He's written a great piece

971
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: on Bolton. He says Bolton is not crazy. The world is.

972
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: And what we saw. One of the things we saw

973
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: from the Obama years is that sitting back and thinking

974
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: that doing nothing is some brilliant policy is actually dangerous.

975
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 1: That watching Syria descend into an an absolute hell hole,

976
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: which I know, we shouldn't have landed the eighty second

977
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: airboard and decided to take over the country. I'm not

978
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: advocating for that, but there was basically nothing done. And

979
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: as we see from what Trump has done now to

980
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: defeat the Islamic State, there are ways to do things

981
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: there without a lot of US casualties, without a lot

982
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: of US risks that would have slowed down or stopped

983
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:10,479
Speaker 1: Isis from becoming the monstrosity that it was. That would

984
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: have saved thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of lives, that

985
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: would have stopped terror attacks in Europe and here at home. Remember,

986
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 1: the Islamic state became this clarion call to jihoti is

987
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: m because of its success and because or it's perceived success. Right,

988
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: that was why people would self radicalize and take it

989
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: upon themselves to be jihadis without any formal training of

990
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 1: any kind, because they wanted to that they were ideologically

991
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: aligned with this notion of a caliphate. Overseas, Obama did

992
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: very little on North Korea. The situation North Korean nukes

993
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: and the possibility of nuclear proliferation and missile proliferation technology

994
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 1: got worse. For eight years under Obama, these things got worse.

995
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 1: So why is it that we are in this position

996
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: where we have to pretend at having somebody who takes

997
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: a more aggressive approach to these foreign policy problems. By aggressive,

998
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: I mean not just sit back, relax and let the

999
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: good times roll, you know, let things happen. That was

1000
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: what Obama did, That was what his people, That was

1001
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 1: what Susan Susan Rice's approach, except in Libya, where for

1002
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 1: reasons that still remain kinda huh under our two p

1003
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: responsibility to protect in Libya. That was the doctrine. That

1004
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: was Samantha power, that was Susan Rice. They built careers

1005
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 1: on that. Under that premise we intervened in Libya but

1006
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 1: not in Syria. Why because that was the decision that

1007
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: they made o Libya became a failed state and disaster afterwards,

1008
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: and also a haven for the Islamic State. In fact,

1009
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: for a while, the only place that isis really controlled

1010
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: territory in any meaningful sense was Ras or the Ira

1011
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: Syria world or the original one, and then on the

1012
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: coast of Libya. So this notion that things were great

1013
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: under Obama's for Obama's foreign policy was failure. You looked

1014
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 1: at a place in the world, You looked at any

1015
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 1: spot on a map where there was trouble. You look

1016
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 1: at a hot spot where people are shooting each other,

1017
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 1: bad things are happening. He got worse under Obama's years.

1018
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: Any problem, any national security challenge, he got worse under

1019
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:31,439
Speaker 1: the eight years of Obama. And look at the people

1020
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 1: that he had around him. Meant the power, you know,

1021
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: very very much. A humanitarian internationalist Susan Rice, same thing,

1022
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: humanitarian nationalist Hillary Clinton, cold bloodless, self indulgent, self gratifying,

1023
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,479
Speaker 1: frightening human being. I mean, you know, but I guess

1024
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: technically uh supposed to be a technocrat of they were

1025
01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: unable to do it. John carry Yeah, John Carrey, he's

1026
01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: a model for the peace process. Couldn't even get in

1027
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: the door. But they're all free, Oh John, John Bolton's

1028
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 1: gonna lead us in a war. This is just this

1029
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 1: is just for ratings on TV, Folks that there's no

1030
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 1: there's no honesty and there's there's no truth behind it

1031
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 1: at all. Both In is more than qualified for the role.

1032
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 1: He'll do a very good job, and he understands the

1033
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 1: world's a dangerous place. There's going to approach it as such.

1034
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: And maybe that's what makes the left so upset about him.

1035
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: All right, we've got we've got to talk about David

1036
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 1: Hogg coming up here. I got more stay with me.

1037
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: One more about school. You mentioned your backpack. What do

1038
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: they do with your backpack there? I think after we

1039
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 1: come back from spring break, they're requiring all of us

1040
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 1: to have clear backpacks. I think one of the most important,

1041
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:50,959
Speaker 1: one of the other important things to realize is many

1042
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 1: students want their privacy there. There are many um for example,

1043
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: females that are school when they had when they go

1044
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: through their mentoral cycle, they don't want people to see

1045
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 1: their tampons and stuff, and it it's just it's unnecessary.

1046
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 1: It's embarrassing for a lot of the students, and it

1047
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: makes them feel isolated and separated from the rest of

1048
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: American school culture, where they're having essentially their First Amendment

1049
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 1: rights infringed upon because they can't freely wear whatever backpack

1050
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: they want, regardless of what it is. It has to

1051
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: be a clear backpack. What we should have is just

1052
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 1: more policies that make sure that these students are feeling

1053
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 1: safe and secure in their schools. So that's David Hogg

1054
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 1: the single most prominent member of the Never Against Student

1055
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 1: movement against school violence. But it's really against guns. So

1056
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 1: let's understand that it's decided that it has decided that

1057
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: guns are the problem. But here you have what is

1058
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 1: the eighteen by the way, is the eighteen r he's eighteen?

1059
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: Do you have a teenager who has been thrust forward

1060
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: by the national media. He's now got a huge social

1061
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 1: media following, Anderson Cooper has him all. Rachel Matto, we

1062
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 1: played it last night like I'm star struck by some

1063
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: of the never end people. I mean, she's literally pandering

1064
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: to these kids, because in doing so, Mattow panders to

1065
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: her audience. And here he is, after telling us all

1066
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:13,959
Speaker 1: that if you won't abandon the Second Amendment, you don't

1067
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 1: care about dead kids. Now he's all like, whoa, whoa.

1068
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: You can't mess with high school backpack choices. This isn't

1069
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: North Korea. Man. It's like, well, exactly, you either understand

1070
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: that there are trade offs for some of these security

1071
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 1: measures or you or you're just being dishonest, you know

1072
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 1: he's saying. And I would note his claim here is

1073
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 1: that he there's a First Amendment right to not have

1074
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 1: the First Ament right in school to have the kind

1075
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: of backpack you want. And I would be like, well,

1076
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 1: first of all, there is a Second Amendment right to

1077
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: bear arms, and I do not think that there is

1078
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 1: a First Amendment right to carry whatever kind of parcel

1079
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 1: you want into school as an means of expression. So

1080
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 1: I think his constitutional jurisprudence needs quite a bit of work,

1081
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: needs quite a bit of additional thinking here. But this

1082
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: is par for the course. None of this surprises me

1083
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 1: that you have this kid going around grandstanding, and the

1084
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 1: stuff he said yesterday, which we played for you, was

1085
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: just absolutely it was absolutely terrible. Uh, should be discrediting,

1086
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 1: But how do you discredit somebody who whenever he shows

1087
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 1: you who he is, the responses, Oh, but he's he's

1088
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 1: just a kid, and he's a victim, and he's trying

1089
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 1: to save other kids. Why do you hate kids so much?

1090
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 1: How much of a slander? How much nastiness? Um do

1091
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 1: we have to accept from this kid? I mean, remember,

1092
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 1: this is a reminder, all right, this is he's going

1093
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 1: around giving interviews Anderston. By the way, I was an

1094
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: employee at CNI for two years. Anderson Cooper's people never

1095
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: wanted to have me on the show. Why I don't know,

1096
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 1: Probably because I take everybody to school. It is buck

1097
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 1: slaps of plenty. But nonetheless they put this kid on

1098
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 1: notice spew a bunch of nonsense. And here's what he

1099
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: sounds like in some of his interviews. They're pathetic funds

1100
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: that want to keep killing our children. They could have

1101
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 1: blood from children spattered all over their faces and they

1102
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't take action. When you're oldest parents like I don't

1103
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 1: know how to send an eye message and just like

1104
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 1: give me the phone and you take in You're like, okay,

1105
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 1: let me handle it, and you get it done in

1106
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 1: one second. Sadly, that's what we have to do with

1107
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: our government because our parents don't know how to use

1108
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 1: the democracy. So we have to we think what sectors

1109
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 1: are out there that want to continue to sell more guns,

1110
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: murder more children and honestly just get reelected. What type

1111
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:38,439
Speaker 1: of person are you when you want to see more

1112
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 1: money than children's lives? This type of person does that.

1113
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: He's not he's not even a smart teenager. He's actually

1114
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: just not smart and he's disrespectful. So that's why I'm

1115
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm I've had enough of this. I'm not playing like, oh,

1116
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 1: but be guys to because at all they're traumatised. There

1117
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: are a lot of kids are traumatized. Well, CNN was

1118
01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 1: supposed to have on um Kyle Kyle Kaschev, right, I'm

1119
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 1: I might might be mispronouncing his last name, but he's

1120
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 1: one of the Parkland survivors who takes a very different

1121
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 1: tone and approach to these things. And CNN was supposed

1122
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: to have him on and they canceled him and they're

1123
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: gonna have him on a month afterwards, right, So the

1124
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 1: the impact of his appearance would be much less than

1125
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 1: what we've already had with the Parkland kids. Kyle kashev right. Yeah,

1126
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 1: even want to think I'm wrong, I'm right. And they

1127
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 1: canceled on him. And this is from his Twitter account.

1128
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 1: By the way, they canceled on Kyle because he had

1129
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 1: retweeted something where someone referred to a CNN story as

1130
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: fake news. So they invited this kid on and then

1131
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: because of that they got rid of him. Notice how

1132
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,439
Speaker 1: no one's gonna cancel any media appearances for David Hogg,

1133
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 1: even though he's he's saying, I played to the audio.

1134
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 1: He's saying explicitly, the n Ray is going to keep

1135
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: killing children. You're going to keep killing Chill. The n

1136
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: Ray didn't kill anybody. You know, he's gonna keep killing children.

1137
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 1: He's cursing, and I mean some of the other things,

1138
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,439
Speaker 1: by the way that you're you're old asked parents don't

1139
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: know how to use and also that parents don't know

1140
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 1: how to use democracy. No, actually, you disrespectful, little ingrate.

1141
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 1: People who were older than you know a lot more

1142
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:18,760
Speaker 1: about democracy. And we live in a republic, which is

1143
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: the distinction that I doubt he'd be able to grasp

1144
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 1: even if I tried to explain it. But nonetheless, this

1145
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 1: is who is being held up now by the left

1146
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 1: as some kind of a sage on the issue of

1147
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: gun control and stopping violence in schools. This is all

1148
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 1: just mobilization because progressivism has become a fashion statement. It

1149
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 1: is an identity as much, if not more so, that

1150
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: it is a system of political beliefs. Progressivism is something

1151
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 1: that you sign on for because of what it says

1152
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 1: about you, not for what it means for the country,

1153
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 1: and not really for the policies that implements either. You

1154
01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 1: want to be a progressive now because that's what this

1155
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:03,599
Speaker 1: mark cool. Nice people are the good people, not the mean,

1156
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 1: white Christian racist people. That's what the Republicans are. This

1157
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 1: is what it's turned into. And pop culture has just

1158
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:13,760
Speaker 1: become a megaphone for this and has been for a

1159
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:19,720
Speaker 1: long time. But they the complete lack of respect that

1160
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 1: some of these never again kids. And I even told you,

1161
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: I think it's disrespectful that they've appropriated a term, and yeah,

1162
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 1: that's what I'll say it appropriation borrow from a leftist lexicon.

1163
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 1: They've appropriated a term meant to mean no more genocide,

1164
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 1: from the Holocaust, and they're saying that this is this

1165
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:39,440
Speaker 1: is not a hollow. We do not have a holocaust

1166
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 1: of children in school violence going on. We do not.

1167
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:47,679
Speaker 1: We have isolated incidents over a period of decades of despicable, evil,

1168
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 1: cowardly violence in a society of three million people, and

1169
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 1: we have fewer of them if you look at the

1170
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 1: long term trend now than we had in the nineties.

1171
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,640
Speaker 1: So it's actually going down. It's not the problem that

1172
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 1: people have been led to believe it is in recent months.

1173
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 1: But I know we're not supposed to say that. We're

1174
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 1: not supposed to push back on mr Mr Hoggs nonsense here.

1175
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he is an adult, right, so you know

1176
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,479
Speaker 1: if he's putting on big boy pants and wants to

1177
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 1: be on the national stage and wants to call other

1178
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 1: people murderers, which is really borderline, uh slanderous. I think

1179
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 1: that once you start referring to people as murderers when

1180
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 1: they've killed no one, that's a that's a bit of

1181
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 1: a Now you'd say the n RAS and organization and

1182
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: he's I understand there's a First Amendment argument there, but

1183
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it is pushing the limits it is

1184
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:41,720
Speaker 1: pushing the limits of free speech and moving toward character assassination,

1185
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:44,639
Speaker 1: which is really what this whole outfit is about. And

1186
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 1: I've seen this before with the left. This is how

1187
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:49,639
Speaker 1: they do things, This is how they engage with these movements.

1188
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: They try to put either sympathetic usually sympathetic victims at

1189
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 1: the front of a movement, and then everyone around it

1190
01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 1: gets to just be the apparatus of the Democrat Party,

1191
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:04,360
Speaker 1: the Democrat left in action, pushing for whatever they want,

1192
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 1: and whenever they meet resistance, they go, oh, a lot up.

1193
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 1: But here here's you know, they're they're they're hiding behind

1194
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:12,640
Speaker 1: the skirts, so to speak of the vanguard here. Oh,

1195
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to fight. I don't want to No, no,

1196
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 1: you be mean to those people, the victims. They won't

1197
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 1: engage in the battle of ideas. So anyway, this is

1198
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 1: hog kid. I'm I'm I'm done with being patient with

1199
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 1: the whole thing. He's acting. He's acting like a child.

1200
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:28,439
Speaker 1: He is, So maybe we can all agree that that's

1201
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 1: that's to be expected here. But that's why CNN should

1202
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:35,879
Speaker 1: not make a mockery of itself by giving a platform

1203
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 1: to a high school kid who is acting poorly even

1204
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: for a high school kid. All Right, we got our

1205
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:46,679
Speaker 1: three coming up here with Peter Schweitzer. He's got a

1206
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 1: really interesting book out about how corruption in this country

1207
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 1: for the elites really works. Peter is the guy from

1208
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 1: He's the Clinton Cash author. He's to throw them, throw

1209
01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: them all out about how I still tell people this

1210
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 1: and they don't believe it. I'm like I used I

1211
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 1: had Peter on my show when I did Real News

1212
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 1: with the Blaze years ago, when I was part of

1213
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 1: a Real News I was one of the hosts and

1214
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 1: we'd have Peter on and he told about how insider

1215
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:18,360
Speaker 1: trading Congress exempted itself from insider trading laws. You know,

1216
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 1: you can't make this stuff up. People go, no, way, Buck,

1217
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 1: oh no, but way, dude, way, it is in fact

1218
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:28,240
Speaker 1: what they did. And he's he's great, you'll like that.

1219
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 1: And we've got Kristin Tate as well, who's a uh

1220
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 1: an up and coming author. You see her on Fox

1221
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:36,120
Speaker 1: News sometimes, real nice ladies. She's written about taxes, which

1222
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:38,479
Speaker 1: I hate, and we're gonna bash taxes together. That's gonna

1223
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:40,559
Speaker 1: be fun. Our three coming up in just a few

1224
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 1: He's holding the line for America. Buck Sexton his back.

1225
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 1: All right, everybody, we have an author with this now

1226
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:07,719
Speaker 1: who's got a fantastic new book that you were all

1227
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 1: going to want to hear about and read, Secret Empires

1228
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 1: How the American political class hides corruption and enrichest family

1229
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:20,560
Speaker 1: and friends. The author is Peter Schweitzer. He's an investigative journalist, novelist,

1230
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:24,679
Speaker 1: and political consultant. And Peter, thank you so much for joining.

1231
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 1: Great to have you, Hey, great to be on with you, Buck,

1232
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:28,760
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. All right, walk us through. Peter,

1233
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 1: what do you what do you deal with this time around? Well, look,

1234
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:35,599
Speaker 1: a corruption is a never changing, evolving thing. And when

1235
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 1: most people think of corruption, they think of you know,

1236
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: Congressman Jefferson who had the ninety dollars cash in as freezer,

1237
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:45,639
Speaker 1: you know, cold hard cash Jefferson. They called him. Um, well,

1238
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 1: that's the old school corruption. The new school is what

1239
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 1: I call offshore in corruption. They don't take the money themselves.

1240
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:56,760
Speaker 1: They funnel the money through family members or maybe a

1241
01:13:56,840 --> 01:14:00,720
Speaker 1: best friend. And the amounts of money are asked phonomically

1242
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:05,639
Speaker 1: larger than say ninety thousand dollars, and they oftentimes involve

1243
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 1: you know, foreign entities like the government of China, or

1244
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 1: you know Ukrainian oligarchs who want to curry favor with

1245
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:15,600
Speaker 1: American decision makers. So this is the new frontier of corruption. Uh.

1246
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 1: The amounts of money are large, and uh, it's it's

1247
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 1: really not just about politicians getting rich. It's actually warping

1248
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 1: our policies. Now you have to tell us, Peter about

1249
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:27,640
Speaker 1: some of the actual case studies you deal with in

1250
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 1: the book. Is that certainly this all sounds like stuff

1251
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 1: that people need to hear. Well, yes, thanks Bucks. Um.

1252
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 1: So one example, um that's in the book involves Joe

1253
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 1: Biden and in December, blue collar Joe no where. Yeah,

1254
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 1: this one surprises a lot of people because they may

1255
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 1: have the criticisms of Biden, but they don't think for

1256
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 1: financial impropriety fits into it. But you know, he is

1257
01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 1: vice president. In December, he flies over on air Force

1258
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:58,840
Speaker 1: too to Beijing to meet with Chinese officials to talk

1259
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:02,720
Speaker 1: to them about the South China see trade issues, technology transfer,

1260
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:06,000
Speaker 1: you name it, on and on the point with him.

1261
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 1: Uh is his son Hunter Biden. Now, Joe Biden is

1262
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 1: criticized when he leaves Beijing by a lot of people

1263
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 1: in the region for going soft on China. Uh. And

1264
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 1: what we find is that ten days after they leave Beijing,

1265
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 1: his son, who was on the trip with him, scores

1266
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:27,520
Speaker 1: a one billion dollar investment deal with the Chinese governments,

1267
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:30,280
Speaker 1: not with the Chinese company, but with the Chinese governments.

1268
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 1: And what makes his troubling, Buck, is that not only

1269
01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 1: is it the Chinese government giving this large deal to

1270
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 1: the son of the vice president with whom they're negotiating,

1271
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:43,839
Speaker 1: but Hunter Biden has absolutely no background in private equity whatsoever.

1272
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 1: There's no logical explanation at all as to why he

1273
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 1: got this money other than the Chinese were seeking to

1274
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:53,639
Speaker 1: pay off the bidens. How is that not criminal? I mean,

1275
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:55,479
Speaker 1: is there some kind of carve out here that he

1276
01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 1: was abusing or is this just people don't know about it? Well,

1277
01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:00,080
Speaker 1: it's that people don't know about it. I mean this

1278
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 1: this was a story that took us about a year

1279
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:05,360
Speaker 1: to research. You know, we follow the money, and we've

1280
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 1: got the corporate documents, We've got photographs of Hunter Biden

1281
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 1: on Chinese language government websites where he's meeting with the

1282
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: Chinese officials discussing these deals. So people don't know about them. Um,

1283
01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:19,240
Speaker 1: that's the first thing. And the problem is, Buck, We've

1284
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 1: got disclosure laws in our country, but they don't deal

1285
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 1: with this kind of corruption. So you know, take Joe

1286
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:28,559
Speaker 1: Biden when he's vice president, he has to disclose you know,

1287
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 1: a thousand dollar campaign contribution. If he's got a thousand

1288
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 1: dollars in g E stock, he needs to disclose that too.

1289
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:38,479
Speaker 1: But if his son scores a billion dollar deal from

1290
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:41,559
Speaker 1: a foreign government, that's not required to be disclosed. So

1291
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 1: one of the things I call for is we've got

1292
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 1: to have transparency on the kinds of deals that family

1293
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 1: members of politicians are engaging in with foreign governments. Don't

1294
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:55,679
Speaker 1: that doesn't that apply for spouses because I remember when

1295
01:16:55,720 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 1: the former governor of Virginia, Bob McDonald, was brought up

1296
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:05,600
Speaker 1: not on state but federal corruption charges, eventually throw overturned

1297
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 1: by the Supreme Court, by the way, for everyone listening, um.

1298
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: And at the time, I said, it looked like they

1299
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: were overreaching. They went after his wife for accepting gifts

1300
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:17,719
Speaker 1: as though she were a public official guilty of corruption

1301
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 1: to although she held no office. Yeah. No, that's that's

1302
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:23,759
Speaker 1: a great point, buck. Look a bribery, If you're charging

1303
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 1: somebody with bribery, it makes no difference if you're giving

1304
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 1: it to the politician or if you're giving it to

1305
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 1: a family member in exchange for something, the losses both

1306
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 1: of those as briberies. So just because money or a

1307
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:39,439
Speaker 1: deal is routed through Hunter Biden instead of going directly

1308
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:43,480
Speaker 1: to Joe Biden, it does not make it any less bribery.

1309
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:45,559
Speaker 1: It's you know, proving that in a court of law,

1310
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 1: you've got to try to show some level of a

1311
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 1: quid pro quo or a tradeoff that was done. And

1312
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, these politicians are very sophisticated about this. They

1313
01:17:55,800 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 1: they they're never are rarely going to explicitly say, you know,

1314
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 1: you give me this and I'll give you that, but

1315
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:05,839
Speaker 1: it's implied and it's noticed. And in the case of Biden,

1316
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 1: there were actually three major deals that his son did

1317
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,800
Speaker 1: with the Chinese government. Some of those deals involved, uh,

1318
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:15,600
Speaker 1: the son of or the stepson of John carry in

1319
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:20,920
Speaker 1: a close carry aid named Devin Archer. So the Chinese really,

1320
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:27,760
Speaker 1: i would argue, did an amazingly damaging job of subverting

1321
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:31,920
Speaker 1: our political leadership between ten when it came to our

1322
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 1: diplomacy which with China, because they were essentially, you know,

1323
01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 1: funneling money to family members and getting them to go

1324
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:42,599
Speaker 1: soft on Chinese policy, just as an aside I've been

1325
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 1: saying for for a while now that it's fastening to

1326
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:49,759
Speaker 1: watch the media get so angry about all things Russia

1327
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:56,200
Speaker 1: and somehow never see any kind of ominous similarities with

1328
01:18:56,280 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 1: what the Chinese are doing in terms of buying off people, influenced, influence,

1329
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,000
Speaker 1: purchasing not really influenced, battling all the things that Chinese

1330
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:05,800
Speaker 1: are up to. But that's an aside. I want to

1331
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 1: ask you, do you have anything on Russia specifically in

1332
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:11,720
Speaker 1: the book. Uh, not so much Russia, but Ukraine close enough.

1333
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:14,680
Speaker 1: We'll take it. And you know, and I hate to

1334
01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: pick on Hunter Biden, but again it's Hunter Biden and

1335
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:22,479
Speaker 1: this uh carry aid named Devin Archer who become business

1336
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:26,120
Speaker 1: partners with a guy named Igor Kolimowski who is really

1337
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 1: the most notorious of Ukrainian oligarchs. And as you know,

1338
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 1: buck to say that somebody is the most notorious Ukrainian oligarch,

1339
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:37,960
Speaker 1: that that is quite in accomplating out some competition for sure, exactly,

1340
01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:40,639
Speaker 1: but um, you know, they they strike a deal with him.

1341
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 1: We don't know how much money they made, but you

1342
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 1: can imagine it's quite a bit they're not going to

1343
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 1: throw their name around and associate with somebody like that.

1344
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 1: But here's the problem. So they go into business with

1345
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:54,599
Speaker 1: Igor Kolamowski. Kolamowski owns Privat Bank in the Ukraine, through

1346
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:59,639
Speaker 1: which the Obama administration, led by Joe Biden uh sends

1347
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:02,560
Speaker 1: one point eight billion dollars in I m F money,

1348
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: a billion of which disappears, and a lot of Ukrainians

1349
01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:09,080
Speaker 1: believe that Igor Kolimowski has something to do with that

1350
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 1: money disappearing. So you've got this bizarre situation of somebody

1351
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 1: who allegedly is involved in the disappearance of a billion

1352
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:20,960
Speaker 1: dollars in taxpayer money, whose business partners with the son

1353
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 1: of the Vice president and a close associate of the

1354
01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:27,519
Speaker 1: Secretary of State um and and this is just how

1355
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:30,240
Speaker 1: this business gets done. And and you know it's it's

1356
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:32,679
Speaker 1: got to be exposed and it's got to be challenged.

1357
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:35,439
Speaker 1: We're speaking to Peter Schweitzer. He's the author of the

1358
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 1: fantastic Clinton Cash, which I have read cover to cover,

1359
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 1: and also his latest secret Empires, How the American political

1360
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:46,200
Speaker 1: class hides corruption and enriches family and friends. It is

1361
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:48,160
Speaker 1: in my hand right now. It is also in my

1362
01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:51,600
Speaker 1: read pile. Uh, Peter, tell me just somebody that's not

1363
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:54,679
Speaker 1: a Biden, who you or some other uh, some other

1364
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:56,840
Speaker 1: component of this story you want to share before I've

1365
01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:58,920
Speaker 1: let you get back to the rest of your book tour. Well,

1366
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 1: I would say the other example of involving China would

1367
01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,679
Speaker 1: be Mitch McConnell to sendate majority leader and his wife

1368
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 1: Choo Um. You know her. Her family has a long

1369
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:12,120
Speaker 1: history UM in China, which there's nothing wrong with that,

1370
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 1: But the problem is is that their businesses is really

1371
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:18,160
Speaker 1: tied up with the China States ship Building Corporation, which

1372
01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:21,799
Speaker 1: is UH, a Chinese government run company which is also

1373
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:26,479
Speaker 1: really the largest military contractor in Beijing. UM and UH

1374
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:29,439
Speaker 1: that company, that entity has helped make the family very

1375
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:31,640
Speaker 1: wealthy and and some of that money has flowed to

1376
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:35,519
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell. So it's a question again of the Chinese

1377
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:39,800
Speaker 1: pursuing this policy what I call the princelings strategy. We've

1378
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:42,800
Speaker 1: heard of the Chinese princelings, which are the children of

1379
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:45,799
Speaker 1: Communist Party officials that you do business with to curry

1380
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 1: favor in Beijing. They are mirroring that they are doing

1381
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:52,759
Speaker 1: that in the United States and seeking out commercial ties

1382
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:56,320
Speaker 1: with the family members of American politicians and hoping that

1383
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 1: it's going to bend or shape our policy in a

1384
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 1: more favorable direct for themselves. This would all have to

1385
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:06,200
Speaker 1: be prosecuted by d O J anti corruption, Is that right?

1386
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 1: I mean? Who does this? Who could do something about this? Well,

1387
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, the first thing you would want to do

1388
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 1: is you would want to investigate any communication, any favors

1389
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:17,360
Speaker 1: or things that might have been offered in these cases.

1390
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 1: We just don't know. What we've done is followed the

1391
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:23,240
Speaker 1: paper trail. We know the timing of these transactions, we

1392
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 1: know the nature of them, we know who they did

1393
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:27,840
Speaker 1: them with, and that's troubling enough. So it's got to

1394
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 1: be investigated. And then if you know, a grand jury

1395
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 1: or prosecutors believe something could be prosecuted, it would be

1396
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:37,519
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice that would do it on public

1397
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,559
Speaker 1: corruption charges based on what you know of the law

1398
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:43,920
Speaker 1: around this issue. Right now, Peter, if if I were

1399
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 1: a let's say I were the governor of a state,

1400
01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:49,960
Speaker 1: and or now let's have more fun, if I were

1401
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:53,040
Speaker 1: the president and my wife decided that she were the

1402
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:56,479
Speaker 1: first lady, who by the way, is very lovely, very talented, uh,

1403
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 1: and in this fictional story we're telling. And if she

1404
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 1: decided she were an artist and she were going to

1405
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:06,120
Speaker 1: start selling her paintings in the open market, uh, Chinese government,

1406
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:08,880
Speaker 1: Chinese investors, any number, if they started paying a whole

1407
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:11,160
Speaker 1: lot of money for them, but they couldn't prove that

1408
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 1: I did a quid pro quo. Would I be in

1409
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:18,360
Speaker 1: in uh? In the clear? In terms of corruption? You

1410
01:23:18,479 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 1: probably would. I mean, that's the problem within one of

1411
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:23,400
Speaker 1: the thing, because you mean, that's what Hillary Clinton's speeches were.

1412
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 1: By the way, that's just what I'm trying to think of,

1413
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:27,519
Speaker 1: or Bill Clinton speeches rather when Hillary was secretary of State.

1414
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:30,960
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. His speaking fees went up threefold the

1415
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 1: day she became Secretary of State from foreign entities. So

1416
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,679
Speaker 1: you're exactly right. Yes, I mean, look that the challenge

1417
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 1: in all of this is the way that the laws

1418
01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:41,240
Speaker 1: are written. Think about this. We have a Foreign Corrupt

1419
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:46,080
Speaker 1: Practices Act which ensnared JP Morgan because JP Morgan was

1420
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:49,280
Speaker 1: hiring the children of Communist Party officials in China to

1421
01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:52,759
Speaker 1: get favorable treatment there. They were charged under federal law

1422
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:56,120
Speaker 1: and paid a three million dollar fine. That's the foreign

1423
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 1: corrupt practice If a Chinese company does the same thing

1424
01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 1: in the States that has hired the children of American politicians.

1425
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:07,559
Speaker 1: That's not against the law. How crazy is that we

1426
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:11,120
Speaker 1: have laws to prevent American companies, I think rightfully so

1427
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 1: from doing that in China, but foreign companies and foreign

1428
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 1: governments can do that in the United States and there's

1429
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 1: no law against it. So I think we need to

1430
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:22,519
Speaker 1: change the laws as well. Peter Schweitzer is the author Everybody.

1431
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 1: His book Secret Empires, How the American Political Class Hides

1432
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:29,160
Speaker 1: corruption and in richest family and friends is out. I

1433
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:31,840
Speaker 1: am going to read it. You should too. It's on

1434
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,920

1441
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:55,880
Speaker 1: and be joined by Kristen Tate in just a few minutes.

1442
01:24:55,920 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 1: She's gonna talk to us about invisible taxes. Get excited, arts.

1443
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:20,280
Speaker 1: We have Christen Tate with us now. She is a

1444
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 1: political columnist and author. She writes a weekly opinion column

1445
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 1: for The Hill, which is a fantastic website you should

1446
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 1: all check out. She also appears on Fox, CYNN, and MSNBC.

1447
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 1: She's got a new book, though, which is why we

1448
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 1: have a joining us right now, How do I tax thee?

1449
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 1: Let me count the ways? Christain, great to have you,

1450
01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:42,160
Speaker 1: so good to be here, thanks for having me on.

1451
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:48,400
Speaker 1: All right, so tell me how dost thou taxes me? Well? Okay,

1452
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:51,679
Speaker 1: taxation is such a hot political topic right now, right,

1453
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:57,120
Speaker 1: But when we have these discussions about taxation, we tend

1454
01:25:57,160 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 1: to focus on income taxes. But a lot of Americans

1455
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:04,320
Speaker 1: don't understand is that income taxes make up less than

1456
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:08,360
Speaker 1: half of our personal tax burden. There are hidden taxes

1457
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:12,440
Speaker 1: embedded in nearly everything we do, every bill, we pay,

1458
01:26:12,479 --> 01:26:16,760
Speaker 1: every activity, every purchase. So I wrote, how do I

1459
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:20,559
Speaker 1: tax be? To expose all of the other ways that

1460
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:23,800
Speaker 1: various levels of government are siphoning money out of our

1461
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 1: bank accounts in the city coffers, All right, give us

1462
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:30,400
Speaker 1: some of the most egregious ones. Well, I think the

1463
01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 1: most offensive are probably the taxes in our cell phone

1464
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:38,000
Speaker 1: and electric bills. Just because almost everybody needs to have

1465
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 1: those services, So it's something that affects everybody. In New

1466
01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:47,680
Speaker 1: York City, which is where we live, there's uh taxes

1467
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:51,280
Speaker 1: on electric bills. That's a huge amount of money, UH,

1468
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 1: and the taxes are not being put to good use.

1469
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:57,680
Speaker 1: For example, in every electric bill, there's something called a

1470
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:01,360
Speaker 1: nine one one fee. Well would assume that a nine

1471
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:05,720
Speaker 1: one fee would go towards emergency services, right, Well, that's

1472
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:07,559
Speaker 1: what they used to go to. And the fees were

1473
01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:10,760
Speaker 1: created in the ninety nineties and then upgrades to the

1474
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 1: to the emergency services were completed, but they kept the

1475
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:18,280
Speaker 1: fees in the electric bills and now they're just funneled

1476
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:20,680
Speaker 1: into the general fund where the city or state can

1477
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 1: spend it however they please. So there are lots of

1478
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:27,520
Speaker 1: these fees that make up twenty percent of our electric bills. Likewise,

1479
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 1: cell phone bills are about seven percent taxes, And again

1480
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 1: the taxes are not usually put to good use. They're

1481
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:39,519
Speaker 1: usually funneled into general funds. So I would say that

1482
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,759
Speaker 1: those are the most offensive just because they affect everyone.

1483
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 1: And of course these taxes hurt the poor more than

1484
01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:47,880
Speaker 1: they hurt the rich. But then there are like weird

1485
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,160
Speaker 1: hidden taxes too that may not be as costly, but

1486
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:55,559
Speaker 1: they're just sort of weird, like, for example, pet license fees.

1487
01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:58,880
Speaker 1: Do you have a dog, buck, My parents do, so

1488
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 1: they pay a pet license fee. That's just wrong when

1489
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:05,040
Speaker 1: you when you when you adopt a dog, you have

1490
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 1: to pay this thing to the government called a pet

1491
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:11,599
Speaker 1: license fee, and you kind of assume that the fee

1492
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 1: goes towards something to help animals, like animal shelters or something,

1493
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:18,880
Speaker 1: but really it's just the penalty for saving a dog.

1494
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:24,519
Speaker 1: That's terrible. They're penalizing you for saving a pup. Pup, yes,

1495
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 1: and every year you have to renew this license. And

1496
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 1: you know what's crazy. If you don't renew your pet

1497
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:33,400
Speaker 1: license fee, in most parts of the country, it's a misdemeanor.

1498
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 1: So there are real stories of people being arrested for

1499
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 1: refusing to renew their pet license. I feel like, if

1500
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 1: I had a pet wallaby, maybe I gotta pay a

1501
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:45,000
Speaker 1: license just because I'm I'm you know, I'm skating outside

1502
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:47,479
Speaker 1: the edges a little bit. But but saving a pet

1503
01:28:47,520 --> 01:28:49,760
Speaker 1: puppy to me, that's like what you're story. And I

1504
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 1: say puppy just meaning any dog. But I feel like

1505
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 1: We're always told that, you know, adopt, don't shopping all

1506
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:57,680
Speaker 1: that stuff. Well, the government's taking a penny out of

1507
01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 1: your pocket whether you adopt or shop. Right, And in

1508
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:04,240
Speaker 1: most parts of the country, the money from the pet

1509
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:07,000
Speaker 1: license fee does not go towards helping dogs. It does

1510
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:08,920
Speaker 1: in some parts of the country, but in most it

1511
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:13,719
Speaker 1: does not. It is just a sheer penalty for helping

1512
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:17,120
Speaker 1: adopt the dog. That's it to folks listening right now, Kristin,

1513
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:19,280
Speaker 1: and we're speaking to Christin Tate. She's an author. Her

1514
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:21,880
Speaker 1: latest book is How Do I Tax the which is

1515
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 1: just out now for people who live and say a

1516
01:29:25,479 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 1: state like Texas right where they have no no state

1517
01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:30,720
Speaker 1: income tax, but they've got to pay property taxes they

1518
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:36,400
Speaker 1: own property. But what is the additional hidden tax bill

1519
01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:38,640
Speaker 1: that you're paying? Have you been able to compile some

1520
01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:40,360
Speaker 1: sense of what those numbers to be? So if you're

1521
01:29:40,400 --> 01:29:44,640
Speaker 1: somebody who's paying of your income to the government right now,

1522
01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:48,639
Speaker 1: let's just say, do these non income based taxes when

1523
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:51,519
Speaker 1: you add them together, is it another ten percent fift?

1524
01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:54,400
Speaker 1: Do you give us any sense of that? It's actually

1525
01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:57,600
Speaker 1: far more than that. So the Heartland Institute did a

1526
01:29:57,640 --> 01:30:01,080
Speaker 1: study that showed when you add the ELF taxes to

1527
01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:05,519
Speaker 1: your income tax the average American is paying around fifty

1528
01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:08,240
Speaker 1: percent of their income to the government. Now, of course

1529
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:11,839
Speaker 1: that can vary greatly. Some people don't pay income taxes

1530
01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:14,840
Speaker 1: because they get their earned income tax credits. But for

1531
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:17,960
Speaker 1: the average American, they're paying about half of what they

1532
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:21,439
Speaker 1: make to the government. And this should really terrify people

1533
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:24,600
Speaker 1: back because think about it. If the government is profiting

1534
01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:27,040
Speaker 1: more off of your labor than you are, I mean,

1535
01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:30,559
Speaker 1: that's socialism right there. And how do we fix it? Christie,

1536
01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:33,040
Speaker 1: We've all got about thirty seconds or so, but what's

1537
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:36,280
Speaker 1: what's the quick version the elevator pitch to fix? Well,

1538
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:38,720
Speaker 1: my book shows people how to kind of alter their

1539
01:30:38,760 --> 01:30:42,000
Speaker 1: spending habits to avoid some of these hidden taxes, because

1540
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:44,400
Speaker 1: it is possible to save a little more money with

1541
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:47,400
Speaker 1: different spending habits. But I also want to stress that

1542
01:30:47,479 --> 01:30:50,040
Speaker 1: most of these taxes are implemented on the state or

1543
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:52,760
Speaker 1: local level, so it's pretty easy to get rid of them.

1544
01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:54,840
Speaker 1: We just need to be aware that they're there, and

1545
01:30:54,880 --> 01:30:57,800
Speaker 1: then we can hold our politicians accountable. See everybody that

1546
01:30:57,840 --> 01:31:00,080
Speaker 1: the book pays for itself literally, because you'll learn how

1547
01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:01,840
Speaker 1: to get out of some of these taxes, How do

1548
01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:05,719
Speaker 1: I tax? The is the book? Kristen Tate is the author. Kristen,

1549
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:07,280
Speaker 1: great to have you hanging out on the Freedom Up.

1550
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:09,040
Speaker 1: Please come back soon and best of luck with the book.

1551
01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:12,519
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Buck. I love joining your show.

1552
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:14,840
Speaker 1: Thank you. Have a great weekend team. We're going to

1553
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:27,679
Speaker 1: roll into a break. We'll be right back. He's back

1554
01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:30,080
Speaker 1: with you now, because when it comes to the fight

1555
01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 1: for truth, the fuck never stops. I want to introduce

1556
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:42,679
Speaker 1: this next clip with a proviso with some prefacing here.

1557
01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if it is actually from the news cycle.

1558
01:31:47,520 --> 01:31:51,800
Speaker 1: I saw it on a bar Stool Sports feed, so

1559
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:55,439
Speaker 1: Barstool Sports is obviously about sport. I don't know much

1560
01:31:55,439 --> 01:31:58,479
Speaker 1: about it's about sports. It's like a website and it's

1561
01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:01,960
Speaker 1: making the rounds. It's gone, it's gone viral. And here's

1562
01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:04,200
Speaker 1: what I know about the clip. And I don't know

1563
01:32:04,240 --> 01:32:06,639
Speaker 1: if it's recent or not. I can't tell you the problems.

1564
01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:09,400
Speaker 1: I do know it was on Good Morning America and

1565
01:32:09,439 --> 01:32:14,720
Speaker 1: Barstool Sports shared this under the headline that that this

1566
01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:18,360
Speaker 1: gentleman is probably it's quite possibly the greatest storyteller of

1567
01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 1: our generation. So I immediately had to to look at

1568
01:32:22,439 --> 01:32:25,040
Speaker 1: this and before we go off the weekends, I wanted

1569
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:27,719
Speaker 1: to share something special with you. So this falls into

1570
01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:31,920
Speaker 1: that category. The segment is about burglarias and and home

1571
01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:34,800
Speaker 1: invasions and what you can do during it. And g

1572
01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:38,080
Speaker 1: M A approaches this gentleman and he has a story

1573
01:32:38,120 --> 01:32:41,640
Speaker 1: about about being at home when a burglar comes in,

1574
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:44,160
Speaker 1: so that that would be a home invasion. And he

1575
01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:50,080
Speaker 1: proceeds with with tremendous flair and and skillful or the

1576
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:53,840
Speaker 1: skills of a rack con tour to share what it

1577
01:32:53,920 --> 01:32:56,000
Speaker 1: was like when he heard a burglar. Remember this was

1578
01:32:56,040 --> 01:32:59,800
Speaker 1: on Good Morning America. Yeah, and see that's what the

1579
01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:03,280
Speaker 1: was because I heard him first, I said, hold on,

1580
01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 1: I said, hold up, wait a minute, something ain't right.

1581
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:14,400
Speaker 1: Because then I started to taste them, I say, and

1582
01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:15,840
Speaker 1: then I started to smell him. So it's like the

1583
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:19,120
Speaker 1: smell that taste like, so I knew something was wrong.

1584
01:33:19,160 --> 01:33:21,600
Speaker 1: I knew something special about it, you know. So, so

1585
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:23,360
Speaker 1: what did you do when you heard the intrude him?

1586
01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:26,519
Speaker 1: I ran up stairs. I had to run and I

1587
01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:28,879
Speaker 1: had to do. What that little girl, what's that little girl? Uh?

1588
01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:32,960
Speaker 1: In the Holocaust? She had Uh she was a hathaway

1589
01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:36,000
Speaker 1: at Frank Frank and Beavan, and Frank I said, hadn't

1590
01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:39,639
Speaker 1: I had to get up the stairs, so he had

1591
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:43,200
Speaker 1: so much rhythm when he was walking them, says that Doom,

1592
01:33:43,280 --> 01:33:46,600
Speaker 1: Doom Doom. I started the almost beat box up in

1593
01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:51,880
Speaker 1: the closet. Boom boom, boom boom. But I couldn't do

1594
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:54,240
Speaker 1: it yet because I couldn't die. I got caught to

1595
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:57,400
Speaker 1: them all. So I'm just a little shook up. That's

1596
01:33:57,439 --> 01:34:02,479
Speaker 1: all that is. Oh man, that's going viral um. And

1597
01:34:02,600 --> 01:34:05,559
Speaker 1: you know there's there's some He makes some points there

1598
01:34:05,560 --> 01:34:08,599
Speaker 1: about how you know, you you want to make sure

1599
01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:11,719
Speaker 1: that you can take shelter inside your home during droughing

1600
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:15,360
Speaker 1: a home invasion situation, and you know you want to

1601
01:34:15,400 --> 01:34:17,000
Speaker 1: be you want to be able to hear whatever is

1602
01:34:17,040 --> 01:34:21,280
Speaker 1: going on. And uh, yeah, you know, look, I've been

1603
01:34:21,320 --> 01:34:24,840
Speaker 1: home before. And it's when I've been home before, good story, buck,

1604
01:34:25,240 --> 01:34:29,680
Speaker 1: I've been home. That's I've got weekend on the brain here, folks. No,

1605
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:32,760
Speaker 1: but when uh, when I'm upstate with my family, my

1606
01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:35,920
Speaker 1: family has uh my family's house is upstate, or my

1607
01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:38,680
Speaker 1: family is a home upstate. And and I know to

1608
01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:40,840
Speaker 1: those of you who live way upstate, and to our

1609
01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:42,880
Speaker 1: friends in Albany, You're like, Buck, that's not even up

1610
01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:45,320
Speaker 1: Duchess County is not really upstate. It's like a it's

1611
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:48,280
Speaker 1: like an extended suburb of New York City. It's it's

1612
01:34:48,280 --> 01:34:51,160
Speaker 1: a hundred miles from New York City. And and I

1613
01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:53,120
Speaker 1: when I'm up there and you hear I hear anything,

1614
01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, I hear an owl, and I'm like, oh

1615
01:34:55,320 --> 01:34:59,320
Speaker 1: my gosh, it's a home invasion owl. They train them,

1616
01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, I'm really scared. I'm pretty sure Duchess County

1617
01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:08,000
Speaker 1: had I think it was one murder last year. I mean,

1618
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:10,640
Speaker 1: they actually have a murder rate that is in the

1619
01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:14,200
Speaker 1: point something level, because they don't even average one a year.

1620
01:35:14,880 --> 01:35:17,320
Speaker 1: And you know, like once a year there's a you know,

1621
01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:20,280
Speaker 1: a domestic dispute where like an elderly couple just finally

1622
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:22,719
Speaker 1: can't take each other anymore or something, and someone reaches

1623
01:35:22,760 --> 01:35:25,840
Speaker 1: the first shotgun. That's the only homicides that I've ever

1624
01:35:25,880 --> 01:35:30,679
Speaker 1: really known about in in Duchess County. And uh, Meanwhile,

1625
01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:34,000
Speaker 1: in New York City, though, if I'm home, I could

1626
01:35:34,040 --> 01:35:36,320
Speaker 1: hear I mean, in the hallway of my building, I

1627
01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:40,639
Speaker 1: could hear chainsaws. I could hear people like move, move, move,

1628
01:35:40,720 --> 01:35:44,080
Speaker 1: and I'd just be like, yay, you know, having a party.

1629
01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:46,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's not a big deal. It goes to

1630
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:48,640
Speaker 1: show you what a difference in And you know, New

1631
01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:52,080
Speaker 1: York is very safe actually, but it's not safe like

1632
01:35:52,160 --> 01:35:55,200
Speaker 1: the countryside is safe. But as as a city slicker,

1633
01:35:55,680 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 1: you're out in the country, you hear something, you know,

1634
01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:00,880
Speaker 1: some animal makes a noise, and you're like, eat, god, man,

1635
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:05,280
Speaker 1: what is that? Good? Heavens? It definitely gets you. And

1636
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:07,400
Speaker 1: then I look for like, where's the safest place in

1637
01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:10,800
Speaker 1: the in the house to hide? And you know, people

1638
01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:12,840
Speaker 1: always want to hide. People always want to hide in

1639
01:36:12,840 --> 01:36:15,840
Speaker 1: the closet. And I'm like, there's gotta be a better place,

1640
01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, There's gotta be a safe for him somewhere

1641
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:23,479
Speaker 1: that you you're all ready to rock. And hopefully I

1642
01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:25,519
Speaker 1: know many of you listening like buck, I don't my

1643
01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:28,000
Speaker 1: entire house is a safe for them, because you are

1644
01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:31,080
Speaker 1: probably well fortified with firearms and and and all the

1645
01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:34,320
Speaker 1: rest of it. Anyway, we're gonna get into some I

1646
01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:36,280
Speaker 1: just wanted to share that viral clip with you, though

1647
01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:38,679
Speaker 1: I have no idea if it's even from this week,

1648
01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:40,280
Speaker 1: this month, or it might have been from a few

1649
01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:42,519
Speaker 1: years ago, but it was quite a story that gentleman told.

1650
01:36:43,200 --> 01:36:45,519
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm gonna come back in just a couple

1651
01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:48,800
Speaker 1: of minutes here and talk to you about all things

1652
01:36:48,880 --> 01:36:51,640
Speaker 1: roll call, which is really where I just get to

1653
01:36:51,800 --> 01:36:54,800
Speaker 1: voice your thoughts, which is a lot of fun. So

1654
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:56,439
Speaker 1: stay with me for that. A great way to start

1655
01:36:56,439 --> 01:37:14,800
Speaker 1: the weekend coming up. Well, it's been a long week

1656
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:17,960
Speaker 1: and I've got a glass of tequila waiting for me somewhere,

1657
01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:20,120
Speaker 1: so let's get right to it with some roll call

1658
01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:36,759
Speaker 1: team Buck, it's time for roll call Google funky beats.

1659
01:37:37,439 --> 01:37:39,639
Speaker 1: I guess it's not it's more of like old school rock,

1660
01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:44,920
Speaker 1: but some of you complained about the dub step roll call,

1661
01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:49,759
Speaker 1: so off off there it is. We have it. Don't

1662
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:51,240
Speaker 1: think that we don't have it. Don't think that it

1663
01:37:51,280 --> 01:37:54,400
Speaker 1: can't make an appearance at some point. So I wanted

1664
01:37:54,439 --> 01:37:59,920
Speaker 1: to get into your insights, uh, quips, witty and concisely

1665
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:03,679
Speaker 1: analysis and all the rest of it here. So first

1666
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:08,960
Speaker 1: up here we have Buck. That's my name. Gosh, sorry,

1667
01:38:09,320 --> 01:38:11,559
Speaker 1: he's writing too, or he's writing to me and it's

1668
01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:16,280
Speaker 1: from Mike. I'm an old Saturday podcast listener. Oss squad.

1669
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:20,960
Speaker 1: Are we watching the making of a sociopath in this

1670
01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:27,360
Speaker 1: hog kid? Um? No, No, I don't. I don't think so.

1671
01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:30,400
Speaker 1: I think we're just seeing somebody who's being elevated well

1672
01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:36,360
Speaker 1: beyond what his experience in life and his knowledge would

1673
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:40,599
Speaker 1: recommend at this point. And it's it's a shame because

1674
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:43,720
Speaker 1: you know that there's a part of that that feels well.

1675
01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:45,120
Speaker 1: First of all, you feel sympathy for any of these

1676
01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:46,960
Speaker 1: kids are at the school because they suffered a trauma.

1677
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:51,320
Speaker 1: But also you know, maybe he would be a really

1678
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:56,200
Speaker 1: astute observer of politics and world events. But it does

1679
01:38:56,240 --> 01:38:58,400
Speaker 1: take a little bit of time. I've never met an

1680
01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:00,439
Speaker 1: eighteen year old kid in my life, and I'm like, yeah,

1681
01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:03,320
Speaker 1: I want to get some long lectures on a complex

1682
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:09,759
Speaker 1: national policy, uh from this guy. It just hasn't happened

1683
01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:12,639
Speaker 1: for me. So I think you've You've got a little

1684
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:15,320
Speaker 1: bit more, a little more work to do. But thank

1685
01:39:15,320 --> 01:39:20,519

1687
01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:30,040
Speaker 1: great show, well Ted, great note, I can't believe in

1688
01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:32,840
Speaker 1: an action movie officionado such as yourself. Oh here it

1689
01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:34,840
Speaker 1: comes you now? John? What they do is they say

Speaker 1: great show, and then they slip in because I know

1691
01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:39,640
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna I'm gonna read it on air. Then

1692
01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:41,760
Speaker 1: they slip in the but I got I got a

1693
01:39:41,760 --> 01:39:44,160
Speaker 1: bone to pick with you on something anyway, Ted writes,

1694
01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:47,040
Speaker 1: I can't believe an action movie aficionados such as yourself

1695
01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:50,880
Speaker 1: has never watched Boondocks Saints. It's a great action flick,

1696
01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:54,559
Speaker 1: and I second the recommendation you received yesterday. Give it

1697
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:57,559
Speaker 1: a watch. You won't be disappointed. Keep up the great work,

1698

Speaker 1: to pick there. But thank you very much, Ted for

01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:51,200
Speaker 1: since the first time you filled in for Glenn Beck.

1713
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:53,920
Speaker 1: I've heard you lament many times the foods that you

1714
01:40:53,960 --> 01:40:56,880
Speaker 1: can eat or cook with due to gluten. I just

1715
01:40:56,920 --> 01:40:58,920
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure you are aware that next week

1716
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:02,880
Speaker 1: is pass Over and as such, many stores, and especially

1717
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:06,200
Speaker 1: those a cater to Jewish communities, will be carrying gluten

1718
01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:10,040
Speaker 1: free versions of many products that might normally have some

1719
01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:13,360
Speaker 1: wheat content. Keep an eye out and ask a Jewish

1720
01:41:13,360 --> 01:41:17,840
Speaker 1: person to explain if you've got one handy. Keep doing

1721
01:41:17,880 --> 01:41:22,120
Speaker 1: what you do so well? Uh, simcha or sam um? Well,

1722
01:41:22,160 --> 01:41:24,200
Speaker 1: thank you very much, Sam, it's I didn't I didn't

1723
01:41:24,200 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 1: know that. One problem that I have and and have

1724
01:41:27,320 --> 01:41:31,440
Speaker 1: not been able to figure out is uh, the Eucharist

1725
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:36,479
Speaker 1: as a Catholic. You know, what do you do? I

1726
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:40,280
Speaker 1: I cannot eat the you. I know, through transubstantiation it

1727
01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:43,960
Speaker 1: becomes the body and blood of Christ, but I can't

1728
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:50,440
Speaker 1: eat it. So that's the thing, and I've actually my uh,

1729
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:53,800
Speaker 1: there's been some back and forth over it and the

1730
01:41:54,920 --> 01:41:57,559
Speaker 1: Catholic Church in case some of you were unaware, kind

1731
01:41:57,560 --> 01:42:00,360
Speaker 1: of slow to change on things. And so what I'm

1732
01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:03,559
Speaker 1: told is we'll just drink the wine. And I'm not

1733
01:42:03,600 --> 01:42:06,080
Speaker 1: gonna lie to you. I don't really like the idea

1734
01:42:06,080 --> 01:42:08,160
Speaker 1: of drinking from a chalice that all those other folks

1735
01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:09,880
Speaker 1: have been drinking from. So I got a little bit

1736
01:42:09,880 --> 01:42:13,720
Speaker 1: a dromophobia and celiac. So what do I do? I

1737
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:15,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I gotta figure this one out. I got

1738
01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:18,200
Speaker 1: I gotta get the Pope on the line. Well, actually

1739
01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:20,800
Speaker 1: got a lot of things, A lot of things I

1740
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:23,880
Speaker 1: gotta talk to the Pope about. Next up is Steve,

1741
01:42:24,840 --> 01:42:27,040
Speaker 1: He writes, Buck. The more I listen to your program,

1742
01:42:27,040 --> 01:42:30,080
Speaker 1: the more respect I have for you. You bring a

1743
01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:34,360
Speaker 1: calm and rational conversation to the complex and dangerous times

1744
01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:38,360
Speaker 1: in which we live. Keep up the good work, Steve.

1745
01:42:38,479 --> 01:42:43,680
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for the kind note. I appreciate it.

1746
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:49,920
Speaker 1: Um we have Uh, Well, my man Gentry is back.

1747
01:42:50,880 --> 01:42:52,920
Speaker 1: He was. He says that he's honored that his post

1748
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:56,280
Speaker 1: got to end the show. He agrees that comedy is subjective.

1749
01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:58,799
Speaker 1: What is hilarious to one might be offensive to another.

1750
01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:02,519
Speaker 1: Enus the true e full about this entire situation. Also,

1751
01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:07,559
Speaker 1: no Boondocks Saints really Shields High. Keep up the fantastic work, Gentry.

1752
01:43:08,240 --> 01:43:11,680
Speaker 1: And you know where is it, Gentry? It could be

1753
01:43:11,720 --> 01:43:13,960
Speaker 1: a hard g there. I should ask my friend Gentry.

1754
01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:15,719
Speaker 1: He can tell me which one. In the next message

1755
01:43:15,720 --> 01:43:18,439
Speaker 1: he sends Boondoc Saints. All right. You know what, guys,

1756
01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:20,760
Speaker 1: I've got enough messages about it at this point that

1757
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:23,519
Speaker 1: I it's it's gonna happen. I gotta find a time

1758
01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:25,519
Speaker 1: when Miss Molly is going to be gone from the house.

1759
01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:27,160
Speaker 1: She's not gonna like it, so I gotta find a

1760
01:43:27,240 --> 01:43:30,640
Speaker 1: time when uh, she's out and then I can watch it.

1761
01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:33,400
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna work on it. But yes, it is

1762
01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:38,479
Speaker 1: on the list. It will get watched. Amanda Rights Falling Buck.

1763
01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:41,720
Speaker 1: I love your show. Well, thank you, Amanda. I love

1764
01:43:41,720 --> 01:43:44,759
Speaker 1: your message. It's great to hear your perspective on politics

1765
01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:46,960
Speaker 1: and movies. I love your impression of Hillary Clinton. It

1766
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:49,760
Speaker 1: always makes me laugh. I wanted to write you because

1767
01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:52,320
Speaker 1: I listen to your episode mentioning the Maryland shooting and

1768
01:43:52,360 --> 01:43:55,799
Speaker 1: the Florida shooting. I'm currently teaching in a middle school.

1769
01:43:56,200 --> 01:43:59,559
Speaker 1: It's an adventure every day. I'm extremely put off by

1770
01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:02,200
Speaker 1: the fact no one is mentioning that the kid on

1771
01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:06,799
Speaker 1: kid and teacher a kid on teacher violence in school.

1772
01:44:07,320 --> 01:44:10,120
Speaker 1: I don't believe guns of the problem. I think parents

1773
01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:14,040
Speaker 1: and children are the problem. Parents are investing values and

1774
01:44:14,120 --> 01:44:17,320
Speaker 1: morals in their children, they are leaving it to teachers

1775
01:44:17,320 --> 01:44:20,759
Speaker 1: and schools. I love my students, but it's not fair

1776
01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:24,439
Speaker 1: for me to be cussed out, punched, kicked, bit slapped

1777
01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:27,360
Speaker 1: or yelled at in class because I tell a kid

1778
01:44:27,400 --> 01:44:30,200
Speaker 1: to sit down or turn in their homework. People complain

1779
01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:33,040
Speaker 1: about school safety, but I asked my students how they're

1780
01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:37,600
Speaker 1: contributing to making a school safe with their behavior. Um

1781
01:44:37,720 --> 01:44:40,320
Speaker 1: Family values need to make a comeback in a big way.

1782
01:44:40,760 --> 01:44:44,679
Speaker 1: Disrespecting teachers and faculty is not okay for students or parents.

1783
01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:47,160
Speaker 1: Thanks for keeping us informed and allowing us to share

1784
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:49,240
Speaker 1: with you. Well man, thank you for your perspective. It's

1785
01:44:49,280 --> 01:44:52,559
Speaker 1: a very important issue. I had a number of friends

1786
01:44:52,640 --> 01:44:58,839
Speaker 1: who of including a a former uh well, an ex girlfriend.

1787
01:44:58,880 --> 01:45:01,360
Speaker 1: Sounds like you know something bad, but she was somebody

1788
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:03,400
Speaker 1: that I dated in college and she's now married with

1789
01:45:03,439 --> 01:45:05,439
Speaker 1: several children, very very happy, and I wish her all

1790
01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:08,360
Speaker 1: the best. But she went into a Teach for America

1791
01:45:08,439 --> 01:45:10,559
Speaker 1: program right out of school, and I remember talking to

1792
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:13,000
Speaker 1: her later on about some of the stuff that she

1793
01:45:13,120 --> 01:45:15,760
Speaker 1: was subjected to and saw, and yeah, some of the

1794
01:45:15,840 --> 01:45:18,679
Speaker 1: kids get violent with the teachers, which you rarely hear about,

1795
01:45:18,920 --> 01:45:23,400
Speaker 1: and puts the teacher in a very difficult situation. A

1796
01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:25,600
Speaker 1: whole bunch of ways. Right for the female teacher, it

1797
01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:27,960
Speaker 1: maybe that a sixteen or seventeen year old male or

1798
01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:30,040
Speaker 1: even a twelve or thirteen year old male student might

1799
01:45:30,040 --> 01:45:33,040
Speaker 1: be a physical, real physical threats who or even without

1800
01:45:33,040 --> 01:45:36,719
Speaker 1: a weapon. And for a male teacher, you know, you think, okay,

1801
01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:39,080
Speaker 1: well I'll just handle it. But you know, the kid

1802
01:45:39,080 --> 01:45:41,040
Speaker 1: punches you, or you know, throws a punch at you,

1803
01:45:41,120 --> 01:45:44,559
Speaker 1: and you defend yourself. You your teaching career is going

1804
01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:47,800
Speaker 1: to be pretty pretty sure. Probably. I wouldn't count on

1805
01:45:47,840 --> 01:45:51,320
Speaker 1: the the school board to have your back on that necessarily.

1806
01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:54,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll have to see. But thank you man

1807
01:45:54,960 --> 01:45:57,920
Speaker 1: If for that perspective. Um let's see who else we've

1808
01:45:57,960 --> 01:46:03,240
Speaker 1: got over here to him? Rites? Why is Trump not reinstated?

1809
01:46:03,280 --> 01:46:07,720
Speaker 1: The Ronald Fireside chats Adam, You're just gonna have to

1810
01:46:07,760 --> 01:46:11,800
Speaker 1: ask the Trumpster himself about this one. I do not know. Um,

1811
01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:14,639
Speaker 1: I think Fireside, I mean, first of all, fireside chats

1812
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:19,200
Speaker 1: with Trump would be a viral sensation. It would be incredible,

1813
01:46:19,640 --> 01:46:21,360
Speaker 1: Like can you imagine him sitting there with a glass

1814
01:46:21,400 --> 01:46:24,360
Speaker 1: of Scotch just talking about whatever to America? It would

1815
01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:27,559
Speaker 1: be destination viewing. Hey, it would be incredible. I mean,

1816
01:46:27,560 --> 01:46:29,479
Speaker 1: the whole idea would be no script, no nothing. He's like,

1817
01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:31,519
Speaker 1: let's just talk about what happened this week. He could

1818
01:46:31,520 --> 01:46:34,439
Speaker 1: sit there in a robe, like a Hugh Hefner esque robe.

1819
01:46:34,479 --> 01:46:36,200
Speaker 1: That's right. John points out he doesn't drink, so he

1820
01:46:36,240 --> 01:46:39,840
Speaker 1: would have a glass of martin Elli's. That's what we

1821
01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:41,960
Speaker 1: always us to drink it Thanksgiving for the kids, you know,

Speaker 1: the adults got to have booze and we always got

1823
01:46:45,040 --> 01:46:47,960
Speaker 1: to crack open the Martin Ellis. I will say that

1824
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:51,320
Speaker 1: stuff was delicious. The sparkling cider. Sparkling cider is incredible.

1825
01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:54,080
