They had this 12 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: great opportunity and the Democrats have really let them out. 13 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: It's a shame. And now people that take an advantage 14 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: of data and that's a sid met has got to 15 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: help us.

But you'll 19 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: have to take a look of Mexico has got a 20 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: helpless at the border. They flow right through Mexico. They 21 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: send him into the United States. Can't hop it that 22 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: way anymore. Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show everyone, great 23 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: to have you here, and honor and a privilege as 24 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: always President. They're making quite clear well a few points 25 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: on immigration. Most importantly, immigration fight is not over. The 26 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: President is not throwing in the towel. He's saying he 27 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: is not done with this one. In fact, he is 28 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: going back to his earlier negotiations with the Democrats over DACA, 29 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: the Deferred Action for Child who Arrivals program, and he's saying, 30 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: look that Democrats weren't even willing to negotiate over it. 31 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: You see that they just want amnesty. They're just the 32 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: party of illegal aliens. Now they are pro illegal immigration. 33 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: They don't think there should be any concession. They're not 34 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: willing to have a talk about what comes next and 35 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: what needs to be done. They don't want more border security, 36 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: they don't want more interior enforcement. And this is a 37 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: radical shift even for the Democrat Party. It's occurring about 38 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: the last twenty years or so. It is quite different 39 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: than their stated positions in the past. The editorial boards 40 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: the Washington Post, the New York Times are now closer 41 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: to open borders than they ever were, and there's greater 42 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: uniformity and unanimity among their editorialists on the issue of 43 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 1: being pro illegal immigration than at any time previously. Trump 44 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: is saying there's not gonna be a dock and deal. 45 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,399 Speaker 1: He had tweeted out over the weekend the following border 46 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: A border patrol old agents are not allowed to properly 47 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: do their job at the border because of ridiculous liberal 48 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: Democrat laws like catch and release. Getting more dangerous caravans coming. 49 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: Republicans must go to the nuclear option to pass tough laws. Now, 50 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: no more DOCCA deal all in caps WI we get 51 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: into what this refutation of any possible DOCTA deal would be. 52 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: Let's start with the caravan. What is he talking about, 53 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: because folks, this is going to get very interesting. You 54 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: have approximately twere people who have gathered together um who 55 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: say that they are fleeing their countries because of fleeing 56 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: Central American countries because of the violence and persecution that 57 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: they face in their countries. Now they are in Wahaka, Mexico, actually, 58 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: one of the few places in Mexico where I have been. 59 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: I will tell you tequila is delicious. The sun shines brightly. 60 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: That is an aside they're in Wahaca, Mexico or Mexico 61 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: if you will, and there are four hundred and twenty 62 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: miles for our show from their starting point. They want 63 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: to get to the US border, turn themselves in and 64 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: claim asylum. You see, because of the current immigration laws, 65 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: they will abuse this loophole and they will show up 66 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,679 Speaker 1: and say, oh see, we had to flee our country 67 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: of origin. This case, almost all I believe Honduras, some 68 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: might be from El Salvador, and they're going to get 69 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: to stay in the country, Folks. They're not gonna get 70 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: turned away at the border. They're not going to try 71 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: and sneak into the country. They're going to literally find 72 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: and flag down the first border patrol agent they can 73 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: and say I'm claiming asylum. Now you might say, well, 74 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: do they all will they all receive asylum? Are they 75 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: all going to qualify for asylum? And to that I 76 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: would respond, what do you think is gonna happen? And 77 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: most of the sanctuary jurisdictions where they will end up, 78 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: you think some judge is gonna say no, you don't 79 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: get asylum from Honduras, which as one of the highest 80 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: homicide rates per capita of any country. In the world 81 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: which has been overrun by m S thir team. No, 82 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: they're going to say, well, you're we're a nation of immigrants, 83 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: including a nation of illegal immigrants. Now you get to stay, 84 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: you get to remain here. But this is exactly the 85 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: kind of optics that we need to focus on. What 86 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: we're talking about immigration and where the Democrats stand on 87 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: all of this. You've got a thousand people making their 88 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: way of twelve so making their way to the US border, 89 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: who are just going to be able to stay in 90 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: the country because of our current immigration laws. We have 91 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: to change these laws. We also have to put more 92 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: pressure on Mexico. They're not legal in Mexico either, folks. 93 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: You know, Mexico used to be very strict about people 94 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: from Central America coming into coming into its borders. Never 95 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: talked about that all that much, do they. Yeah, Mexico 96 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: enforces its borders to the south. They absolutely try to 97 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: prevent people from coming in. But when they think, when 98 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: when they know and the plan is that they're going 99 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: to continue on through Mexico and make their way into 100 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: the United States, they let it go. They let it happen. 101 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: How can we consider the Mexican government to be good 102 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: partners in border security if they are going to allow 103 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: a caravan of people on foot travel hundreds and hundreds 104 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: of miles in a huge mass across Mexican territory in 105 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: order to make their way into our country. No, they're 106 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: they're actually the Mexican government is complicit in illegal ngration. 107 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: By the way, it's likely to only get worse. Uh, 108 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: there's an election coming up in Mexico and you have 109 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: a a leftist who is gaining ground there. You're gonna 110 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: have a government in Mexico coming up here pretty soon 111 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: that is much more ideologically aligned with say the far 112 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: left Central American states that have been disastrous in recent years. 113 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: A the Central and South American states have been disastrous 114 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: than even what we've got right now with Peanya yeto. 115 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: You know, the Mexican Revolutionary Party, the pr I is corrupt, 116 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: but not straight up Marxists. You know that they're there's 117 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: there's stuff to the left of them, and we may 118 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: have a worse situation going on with Mexico. By the way, 119 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: it's also why we need a wall, because we can't 120 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: be reliant on our Mexican counterparts in the government to 121 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: prevent immigration into our country, and we shouldn't rely on that, 122 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: and that's not sound policy, it's not smart for us 123 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: to do that. But I'm I am encouraged. You know. 124 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: I was a little discouraged last week, as many of 125 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: you know, and as you noted in your emails and 126 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: messages to me. I was discouraged that President Trump had 127 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: signed that omnibus bill, and that he recognized right away 128 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,239 Speaker 1: that that was a mistake, that we should have fought 129 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: more on this, that there should have been more at 130 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: least made of what was going on here, That we 131 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: did not get real substantial funding for the wall, that 132 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: we did not get any changes immigration law. And now 133 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 1: we have to assume that unless the Republicans changed the 134 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: rules in the Senate, get rid of the filibuster and 135 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: clear a pathway for dare I say, ramming through the 136 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: Trump agenda, which is what what they need to do 137 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: now in advance the midterms, we could be in for 138 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: some tough times, my friends. The time is now. We 139 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: do not have time to waste. We do not have 140 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: time on our side. If we allow the narrative going 141 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: into the midterms to be the Democrats get away with 142 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: being completely intransigent on the issue of immigration, they get 143 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: away with being absolutists on amnesty for legal aliens. How 144 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: can how can the Republicans really expect us to show 145 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: up in numbers and preserve majorities in the House and 146 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: the Senate. How could they really realistically think that would happen. 147 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: The time for action on this is now. I also 148 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: like the Trump is using our leverage economically to try 149 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: and get something going here. NATA has to be renegotiated 150 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: and have to existed really before the Internet. Right, very 151 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: different world we're dealing with now, and so using NAPHA, 152 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: using that trade deal as leverage with the Mexican government 153 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: makes a whole lot of sense to me. Why wouldn't 154 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: we tie these things together. Why wouldn't we use our 155 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,239 Speaker 1: economic ties to get what really amounts to national security 156 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: concessions from what's supposed to be an allied government, an 157 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: allied state. So I'm I'm encouraged to see the President's 158 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:14,719 Speaker 1: tweets um much more positively disposed now towards the possibility 159 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: of real action immigration. I'm not saying it's definitely happening, 160 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: saying the fight's not yet lost, it's not over yet. 161 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: I think Trump may have needed a little bit of 162 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: a refresher, a little bit of a reminder from his 163 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: base and from those who pushed to get him here. 164 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: But I think I think the message has gotten through. 165 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: So now we can we have to see if the 166 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: Republican Congress will go along by the law. We we 167 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: have the White House sending us one of their top spokespersons, 168 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: a deputy White House Press Secretary, Hogan Gidley. He'll be 169 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: with us in just a few minutes talk about exactly this. 170 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: He's gonna tell us where the administration stands on the 171 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: DOCCA fight. Remember, DOCCA is a large scale amnesty program. 172 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 1: It's me millions of people. That wasn't even an for 173 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: the Democrats. So what does that tell you about where 174 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,719 Speaker 1: they're planning to go if they ever make it into 175 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: the majority again, never mind, if there are the majority 176 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: in all three well, in the House, the Senate, and 177 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: the White House, you will have a massive amnesty for 178 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: countless millions of the legal aliens of the country, and 179 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: you can kiss the Republican Party goodbye, and even the 180 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: fight for limited government, to fight for conservatism in this 181 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: country will become a quaint vestige of past political battle. 182 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: It's not even really going to be meaningful anymore. That's 183 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: what's at stake, that's what's really happening. So you gotta 184 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: see if Trump will fight. I say, we fight. I 185 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: think Trump's willing to do it too, So I have 186 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: some hope here. So we'll have the White House joining 187 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: us a little bit talk about it. Will also discuss 188 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: the UH, the latest on Syria that'll be coming up 189 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: in the second hour. We'll talk about the the media 190 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: using David Hogg as a weapon against their ideological opponents. 191 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: It's getting worse and worse. It's really getting out of control. 192 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: Maybe some talk on the trade fight back and forth 193 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: with China, although I think we've we've plowed that field 194 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: pretty well at this point, and no pun intended, right 195 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 1: because they I think they're getting some putting some tariffs 196 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 1: on what almonds and some other food stuff. US agricultural 197 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: sector is gonna take a little bit of a hit 198 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: for the exports we have to China. So we'll hit 199 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: that and basically a whole bunch of the whole bunch 200 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: of other things. McKinley is now considered racist, by the way, 201 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: I'll explain that one to you. That's gonna I'm leave 202 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: ever on a cliffhanger, thou who even knows h McKinley 203 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: is in this country? Not that many folks, I mean 204 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: everyone who listens to this show, but most of America's 205 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 1: like McKinley. Didn't he play for the Yankees, but former 206 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: president whose time in office was ended by an assassin 207 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: this bullet. McKinley is now a controversial topic, believe it 208 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: or not. Much to my much more data goes into 209 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: my theory here about how they're gonna make every everybody 210 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: in history controversial that they don't like. That's what's gonna 211 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: end up happening. All right, So we've got down a 212 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: lot more eight four four to eight to five eight 213 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: four buck team, we have so much show way, And 214 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: if you'd like otherwise, sit back, relaxed, chill, and let 215 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: the analysis roll on by stay with me. I've seen 216 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: this pattern many times. All presidents go through it. In 217 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: the first year for presidency, presidents really do rely much 218 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: more on their staff and on outsiders, on foreign leaders 219 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: task what do you think what's going on? And as 220 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: they settle into the job, they increasingly become more confident 221 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: and they start to make their own calls and often 222 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 1: disregard what the staff says. This is not your Donald Trump. 223 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: They all do it. I think Donald Trump's got a 224 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: superb team around him. Now. Donald Trump is the president, 225 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: regardless of who the staff is and whether people like 226 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: or don't like Donald Trump. He got elected and he's 227 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: entitled to have his policies the way he wants them. 228 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: But after all, it's up to him. That's Ari Fleischer. 229 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: But you know, I think, what am I wrong? You 230 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: look at me like I had the wrong names. Okay, 231 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: that's all. I don't have no worry. You're way back. 232 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: I never met him, but I know who he is, well, 233 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: way back to what I was in college, and he 234 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: was the press secretary right now. But he's right, and 235 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: he's saying what I've been saying, so obviously he's right. 236 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. You know what I'm saying. 237 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: He's telling everybody that you know, there's other shake up 238 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: in the White House. You'll notice that everything's fine. It's fine. Yeah, Okay, 239 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: so that Dow had a bad day to day. A 240 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: lot of some swings in the doal. You know, they 241 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: gotta they gotta get rid of some of the you know, 242 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: there's there's buying hold investors in buying fold investors, you know, 243 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: and so you're you're knocking off some of the weak 244 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: stuff right now from various stocks, you know, people that 245 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: are just in it for the quick, that have holding 246 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: on for the long. But it's all gonna be all right. 247 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: Stuff about China, a little bit of disruption here and there, 248 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: but it's not the end of the world, like I've 249 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: been saying. Okay, so they're gonna hit back at some 250 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: of our agricultural products. Now, alright, China, you want to 251 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: play this game, We might decide a little more too. 252 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: We're in a much stronger position than they are. I 253 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: don't know why it became a consensus opinion among the 254 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: US foreign policy elites that other countries get to dictate 255 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: the terms of deals and and action to us, that 256 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: that they get to seize the initiative on things like trade, 257 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: and we have to just deal with whatever we are 258 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: we're given. I don't think that's necessarily way to go, 259 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: especially with China. Somehow, China putting tariffs in place has 260 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: allowed it to become the second biggest economy in the 261 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: world and had explosive growth for decades. So all the 262 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: stuff about how tariffs lead to trade wars, They're gonna 263 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: impoverish you. Seems a little overblown, doesn't it until now 264 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: hasn't led to a trade war from China, or it's 265 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: been a one way trade war and we've been losing 266 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: it because we're not fighting it. It's just been theft, 267 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: the theft of wealth, of intellectual property that's gone on. 268 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: As you know. I keep hitting because I think it's 269 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: very important. But despite all this, the president cornered Rasmussen 270 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: today is that fifty approval presidential approval and now that disapprove. 271 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: That's right. We call those people vegans just kidding, no, 272 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: but don't approve of the president and present is a 273 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: great number. It's better than what where Obama was at 274 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: this point in time. Now. I would like to tell 275 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: you it's because of MAGA, because he's making American great again. 276 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: That's a part of it. To be sure, first year 277 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: is very successful. Things went well, and I know there's 278 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: tough battles ahead. I was just talking to immigration before. 279 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: But you know what I think is pushing the surge 280 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: right now in presidential approval. If the Democrats could just 281 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: just be normal, you know, just be normal for like 282 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: a week or two. They'd be in a great spot. 283 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: But they can't do it, can't do it. All they 284 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: have to do is not be crazy, and I'm not 285 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: really capable of it. I mean, for for a day 286 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: or two here or there, but eventually it comes out 287 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,719 Speaker 1: that they're the party. I mean eventually, I mean it's 288 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: just a matter of days. They're the party of near 289 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: open borders. They're the party of amnesty. They're the party 290 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: of sanctuary cities. They're the party of lawlessness, of more taxation, 291 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: of more ineffective government. I saw people run around today saying, 292 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: you know, why don't we all teachers need to have 293 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: a starting salary of a hundred thousand because of this 294 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: teacher protests somewhere starting salary of a hundred thousand. Really, 295 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: I was brought into the most elite part of the 296 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: intelligence community right out of college, and my salary was 297 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: way less than a hundred thousand. Everybody, it's just like 298 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: slightly better than minimum wage, I think. I mean, my gosh, 299 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: but Democrats can't be normal. Look at what they've done 300 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: on guns. Any honest observer of what has happened just 301 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: on the gun control debate alone, we're gonna revisit the 302 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: issue of h David Hogg running around and yelling at 303 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: everybody in the second hour today. But all Democrats have 304 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: to do is not be crazy. And on gun control alone, 305 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: we see they're crazy and they're dishonest. So I think 306 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: that's helping Trump out a lot, I really do. I 307 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: think it's that they just can't manage to be normal. Um, 308 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: we've got the White House joining us in a few 309 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: minutes to talk about the DOCCA policy fight, and then 310 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: later on we'll discuss the media's freak out about a 311 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,959 Speaker 1: possible conservative competitor. Oh no, that and more coming up. 312 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: If he wanted to see something get done, and Democrats 313 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: refused to actually put something on the table or work 314 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: with the President to get anything done. They wanted to 315 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: use doctor recipients as political ponds. Uh. I think what's 316 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: happened here is incredibly sad. The President wanted to make 317 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: a deal. He made two incredibly generous offers that went 318 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: far and above even with the previous administrations had done 319 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: on DACA, and Democrats still refused to make a deal. 320 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: And I think it's because we're getting close to an election. Well, 321 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: there you have Sarah Huckaby Sanders talking about DACA for 322 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: an Action for Childhood Arrivals program. President Trump has said 323 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: there's not going to be a deal. He wrote it 324 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: in Twitter. Well what does this all mean? Where does 325 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: it stand? We are actually joined by someone from the 326 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: White House right now. We have Hogan Gidley with US online. 327 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: He is the Deputy White House Press Secretary. Hogan, thank 328 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: you so much for joining Hey, Buck, thanks so much 329 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 1: for the time. So, uh, DOCCA deal right now not 330 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: going anywhere? Is this just the President calling out Democrats 331 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: for being unwilling to even attempt to meet him halfway 332 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: on this? What's the status? Absolutely, they just refused to 333 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: come to the table whatsoever. You'll remember the Shimmer shutdown 334 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: weeks ago, months ago, I guess now, where Democrats basically said, listen, 335 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: we're gonna stand up for hundreds of thousands of people 336 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: who are here illegally and unlawfully as opposed to protecting 337 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of American citizens. That was exposed. Sarah 338 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: made the right call just now where they're playing politics 339 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 1: with people's lives, and Democrats decided that they just were 340 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: not going to do anything to secure our borders. They 341 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: were not going to have a conversation about a delon DOCA, 342 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: even though it was three times that of the previous 343 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: administration's offer for pathway to citizenship. And you'll remember to buck, 344 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: the right wasn't too happy with the president's plans. I 345 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: wasn't too happy with it, be honest with you. I 346 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: thought it was a very generous offer to the left 347 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: to start out with. They won't even talk to him though, absolutely, 348 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: And that's what was so interesting is they were upset 349 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: then people on the left or upset because they didn't 350 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: like the the the enforcement pieces, where we got rid 351 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: of chain migration, we ended the visa lottery program, all 352 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: dangerous programs for this country, and then we built a wall. 353 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: They didn't like that part. So you can't define down 354 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: the middle better than a plan that gave Democrats more 355 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: than they wanted on DOCCA and gave Republicans what they 356 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: wanted on border security, protecting our our our southern border. 357 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: And for whatever reason, Democrats not only do they not 358 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: want it, they wouldn't even come to the table to 359 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: have the discussion. It's it's just it's it's quite frankly disgusting. 360 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: Now we have the midterms, they're gonna be here before 361 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 1: we know it, Hogan. But in the meantime, people like me. 362 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: When I say people, I really mean buck. But but 363 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: we would like to know what is the White House 364 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: and GOP majority's plan to get some things done on immigration. 365 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: Are they just going to sit back and allow the 366 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: Democrats to obstruct everything? Are they going to go with 367 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: the nuclear options? They can push through some legislation because 368 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: it's not just a wall. There's also e Verify that 369 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: needs a look, Legal immigration needs changes, h one, b 370 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: Visa's interior enforcement. As you know, we could go all 371 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: day on this. Can we expect some action in the 372 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: next six months or so on it? Or is it's 373 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: just gonna get put by the wayside because the mid terms? Well, 374 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: I sure hope. So you know, the president has been 375 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: all about action since he got into office. I mean 376 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: record setting accomplishments and record setting time. You saw the 377 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: Heritage report, the city had already accomplished sixtent of what 378 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 1: he wanted. That was before funding the military and before 379 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: building the wall. So I imagine it's even higher now. 380 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: But you know the other question, obviously, this is a 381 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: congress This requires a congressional fix. Uh, you know, Barack 382 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: Obama unlawfully and illegally UH created doc out of whole cloth. 383 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: Many people say it's unconstitutional. We believe that it is 384 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: as well, and Congress is required to fix the situation. 385 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: So hopefully they can come to the table and get 386 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: something done. But there is no doubt that we do 387 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: not want to be in the same position five years 388 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 1: down the road, ten years down the road. And that's 389 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: why the President wanted and still wants a long lasting 390 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 1: solution to not just DACA, but as you mentioned, all 391 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: the other parts as well. We started with the four 392 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: the four pillars, as you'll remember, the wall, all ending 393 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: j migration, in the visa lottery, and in fixing DOCCA, 394 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: and then we would worry about the second parts, the 395 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: H one B S as you mentioned, and the other 396 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: ones UH in future legislation. But leading up to now, 397 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: this doesn't stop for this president. He doesn't just throw 398 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: up his hands and say, well, I guess we're done. 399 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: He wants the nuclear option. He tweeted about it this weekend. 400 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,719 Speaker 1: It remains to be seeing whether Republicans will do it. 401 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: But in the upcoming budget proposals, this president is going 402 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: to put forth full funding for the things he wants 403 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: in the wall and also revisit these uh crucial enforcement 404 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: mechanisms that loopholes that have been exploited for far too 405 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: long by dangerous gang members like MS thirteen and you know, Buck, 406 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: this immigration system has been broken basically since Ronald Reagan 407 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 1: about forty years ago. And Reagan put forward an amnesty 408 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: and didn't get the enforcement he was promised. He even 409 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: want on record to say that he thought that was 410 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: quite a mistake. We got Hogan Gidley with us on 411 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: the line, folks, he's a deputy White House Press secretary. 412 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: All Right, Hogan, I've got to ask you about the wall. Yes, 413 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: there was a little over billion dollars in funding for 414 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: wall upgrades and a little bit of new wall in 415 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: the last omnibus budget but or the last omnibus package. 416 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: But that's just one step in what's going to be 417 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: a very very long process. Can you just try to 418 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: walk us through, assuming you have a Republican majority of 419 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 1: the Congress that will play ball with the president and 420 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: will push forward the agenda of getting a wall built, 421 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: how is this supposed to work? So? I think a 422 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 1: lot of folks, myself included, look at this and say, 423 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: if they weren't willing to fight for a wall in 424 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: this last omnibus. Why should we think they'll fight for 425 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: in the next one. Well, remember we we put forth 426 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: a package, our first budget that never got a vote. 427 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: The President put forth a budget that fully funded the wall, 428 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: had these mechanisms for enforcement and safety for the customers, 429 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: border control in our in our package, never got to vote. Instead, 430 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 1: they went for multiple continuing resolutions. It was just excruciating. 431 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: No one could get that funding stream down in in 432 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 1: a two year budget deal with caps, which is what 433 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: the President asked for. It didn't happen. So remember, all 434 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: we really have left is the six months. So what 435 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: the President did was said, let's fully fund my wall 436 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: for the six months, and then we'll put the more 437 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: money in for the next budget that comes out. Because 438 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: right now, they dithered around for so long it took 439 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 1: them forever to actually get to a vote. When they 440 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: finally did, there were only really six months left remaining 441 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: in the budgets. So the President demanded, look, we didn't 442 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: have to give up the The Democrats don't want to 443 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: build one inch of this wall. They don't want to 444 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: pour one cube of concrete for this wall. We didn't 445 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: give up anything to get it. Remember Doc again, exposing 446 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: the Democrats sybocricy. Here Doc is not even in the 447 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: omnibus bill, but our wall is. And as we move forward, 448 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: the President is gonna push harder and and remind the 449 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: American people what's at stake here. Walls work, whether it's 450 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: in San Diego where they've seen a drop in illegal crossings, 451 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: or the one around Jerusalem where they've seen drop in 452 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: illegal crossings, they know it works. Democrats are afraid of 453 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: it because, as you know, they want open borders and 454 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: they don't want any enforcement, which is a complete one 455 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 1: eighty from where they used to be. You remember, Democrats 456 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: used to be for a wall. They used to be 457 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: for protecting the Secure Fence Act. I remember it, Bipartisan 458 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: went through right protecting the American worker. They went, they 459 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: railed about that from the House and the Senate floors. 460 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: And here we are now and they've changed done a 461 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: one eighty on it. The only two things have changed. 462 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: Only two things have changed since that original Secure Fences Act. 463 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: One is the problem has gotten demonstrably worse, and two 464 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: is Donald Trump's in the White House. That's really it. 465 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: So it's obvious that they're playing politics here and it's 466 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: a shame for the American people first, and it's a 467 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: shame for DOCTA recipient second, Holgan. Before I let you go, 468 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: one more for you, And that's just for over a 469 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: year now, I've been trying to inform the audience as 470 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: much as I can about the the opioid epidemic and 471 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: trying to dig into it. We've had world class medical 472 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: experts on the show. I've had journalists who covered the 473 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: cartels in Mexico on the show and this has been 474 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: an area of extreme interest for me and it's just 475 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: need to come out, it seems to me. And we 476 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: had the Attorney General, Jeff Sessions on a couple of 477 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: weeks ago, and I asked him that I asked him 478 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: about this. It's just being to come out that in fact, 479 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: illegal immigration the opioid epidemic aren't just tied together there 480 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: inextricably linked. Now, the President, more than anyone else, has 481 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: done a good job of exposing how MS thirteen is 482 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 1: terrorizing communities across the country that's certainly tied the illegal 483 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: immigration issue. Are you the Deputy White House Press Secretary? 484 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: Are are you folks gonna be working more to tell 485 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: the American people that the sixty thou plus deaths that 486 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: we had in the country last year from overdoses of 487 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: opioids are overwhelmingly tied to cartel activity, illegal immigration, and 488 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: a poorout border. Absolutely, and listen, we call it the 489 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: crisis next door for a reason. It's no longer a 490 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 1: friend of a friend of a friend who heard someone 491 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: who may have had an opioid death in the family. 492 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: This is people we know, people we love in our communities. 493 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: They're getting these drugs a lot of times from people 494 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: who pour across the border. And remember, and they come across, 495 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: it's not like they walk across and then get arrested immediately. 496 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: They can bring and ship over with them, carry over 497 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: with them opioids, and they can dump those pills with 498 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 1: someone else who's working with them on this side of 499 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 1: the border. They can stash them away under a rock, 500 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: under you know, in someone's garden, for heaven's sakes, and 501 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: they can go back and get them or tell friends 502 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 1: where to get them. So just because you're arresting the 503 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: individual who comes over who may be a smuggler or 504 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: a drug dealer, doesn't mean you actually get the product. 505 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: The product is already out in this country. It's killing 506 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: the American people, and it's time that they understand what's 507 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: at stake in this immigration battle. And we will be 508 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: doing everything in our power. The President will be using 509 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: the bully pulpit of the White House to express the 510 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,719 Speaker 1: level of danger that exists out there, and not just 511 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: human trafficking, which is bad enough, but bringing over drugs 512 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: that come into our country and destroy our communities. Hogan Gidley, 513 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: Deputy White House Press Secretary. Everybody, Hogan, thank you so 514 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: much for joining. Come back soon, Thanks so much. Buck. 515 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: Anytime we're gonna roll into a quick break, we will 516 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: be right back with much more. Stay with me. At 517 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: least I want to put up the markets here. Um, 518 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: this was one of the coastal elites missed. The Roseanne 519 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: reboot may not be as popular with critics in Ellen 520 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: New York, but boy, look at the middle of the country. Um, 521 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: and how well these are the best markets that Roseanne rated. Um. 522 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: Total audience may be bigger than the Oscar Well, you 523 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: could say that the era of Obama culture is over. 524 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: You know, we've gone from girls on HBO to Roseanne, 525 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: you know, bursting out of the scenes. The most watch 526 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: network sitcom in the last four years. So are we 527 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: going to start to see more coverage reflecting the Trump era. 528 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: I think that this is perhaps an indication and also 529 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: a really successful revival to people like Roseanne in the nineties. 530 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: They like it now to I have to disagree that 531 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: was the least Jordan over on MSNBC. The era of 532 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: Obama culture is over. Obama is going to be a 533 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: force at Netflix. Susan Rice is now on the board 534 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: of Netflix and one show. I mean this is kind 535 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: of a version of the discussion or the argument you 536 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: hear from the left. They'll say, oh, they are of 537 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: media dominance. You know, you have Fox News, right, that's 538 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: one channel, it's the most successful channel, But that's only 539 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: one channel. There are so many channels where you can 540 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: get the usual leftist clap trap, the leftist malarkey, propaganda 541 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: from the Democrat Party courtesy of the d n C. 542 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: You get that on on most of the channels, most 543 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: of the shows. I just think it's got a funny 544 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, for people who you know on the left, 545 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: they're always talking about what's what's representative and diversity, and 546 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: you look at the diversity of shows and it is 547 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: quite lacking. It is rather obvious that there is a 548 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: dearth of worthwhile conservative, not even conservative, just not leftist 549 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: propaganda shows on TV. It's very obvious. Right, So you 550 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: get one show and he was like, oh, yeah, the 551 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: Air of Obama. No it's not this is just one show. 552 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: And as I've noted, it's not even conservative. I saw 553 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: the first two episodes. You know, yeah, there's a representation 554 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: of a conservative, but it's not like this is a 555 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:31,959 Speaker 1: First of all, it's not a conservative family. I think 556 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,959 Speaker 1: a lot of people want to emulate. It's not like 557 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: this would be. We were not particularly excited about the 558 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: circumstances of this particular family. They're having a they're having 559 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: a tough go I understand, but this isn't like, oh yeah, 560 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: look at the Conservatives doing great. It's only Rosanne who's 561 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: maybe I guess the husband is too. I think people 562 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: are are overstating the impact, is I in the culture? Yeah, 563 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: there's a curiosity you gotta isn't What's really amazing is 564 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: you've only got one show on TV that's getting all 565 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: this attention right now that even has a Trump supporter 566 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: on it. Where's the Trump supporter on Modern Family? I mean, 567 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,719 Speaker 1: I guess you could say it O'Neil is, but they 568 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: never make it explicit. I never see them talking about it. 569 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: Where's that? Where are the Trump supporters on the rest 570 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: of the shows, and who aren't treated like out of 571 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: touch buffoons? Yeah, I just don't think it's some people think. 572 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: By the way, we're gonna talk about the widespread media 573 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: freak out about Sinclair, which is a broadcaster. This got 574 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: so much attention for the weekend. We're gonna talk about 575 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: that coming up. Also, a little more on David Hogg 576 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: the latest. There some good news from that fight that 577 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: I wanted to share with you, So we've got that. 578 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: And then i'll tell you about McKinley in the third 579 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: hour and how he is now. Akinley is too hot 580 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: for statues, you know, it's too too much of a 581 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: contentious issue. Um. And maybe I'll tell you that there's 582 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: new research that shows that chocolate is good for you. 583 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: By the way, another thing, last week they said coffee 584 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: cures cancer and I was like, nonsense, excuse me, garbage 585 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: crap uh and coffee he's in fact delicious and is 586 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: in reasonable quantities good for you. Chocolate, same thing, anti 587 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: oxidants Yo, they're like so good for you. Why I 588 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: don't know. No one knows why people talk about any occident. 589 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: I don't know why they're good for you. I just 590 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: know they're supposed to be good for you. Chocolate is 591 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: delicious brand in New Mexico. What's up, my friend about Fields? Yeah, 592 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: it's too bad about Netflix. Mant with Susanne Rice in 593 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: Obama and all that. I love Netflix. Yeah, I still 594 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: watch it. But you notice that they gave that guy 595 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: Bill Nay a show. I think that may be the 596 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: worst television show I've ever seen. I mean, of all time. 597 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: I think it's up there. Yeah, I won't let my 598 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: kids watch it, but it Isn't Susan Rice worth like 599 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: millions and millions and millions of dollars now? Susan Rice, 600 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm assuming she's probably pretty wealthy, although I don't. 601 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: I actually don't know what her net wealth is. Very 602 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: these folks get put up when you get put on 603 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: the board of a company.

Would be amazing, right, Team America 656 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 1: two Maga Squad would be the greatest movie of all time. 657 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:09,320 Speaker 1: I'm just putting that out there, Oscar. I mean, it 658 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: would be it would be maga. It would be maga 659 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: alicious that much, I can tell you it would be amazing. 660 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,280 Speaker 1: I watched Team America many times back in the day. 661 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:18,879 Speaker 1: Some parts of it, I'm not gonna lie, a little 662 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 1: little risque, but nonetheless, very very good movie. And we 663 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: need we need a Team America for the Trump era. Nonetheless, 664 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: that was a montage of Sinclair Broadcast Group, which is 665 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: being turned into a a boogeyman by the left. They 666 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 1: control all these channels. What are we gonna do? They 667 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,240 Speaker 1: control these local news channels and there and there's skill conservative. 668 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: Does that sound so scary. He sounds great to me, 669 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,240 Speaker 1: by the way, I'm sitting here cheering them on, clapping 670 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: for him, high five of them. Great. You mean you 671 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 1: mean that there there might be enough, There might be 672 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: another layer in the world of TV news that is 673 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:08,280 Speaker 1: right of center in any capacity. To me, that sounds 674 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: great to me. That sounds like something we definitely need 675 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: in this country. Well, let's do some quick math, folks, 676 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: or just a quick rundown. What does the left have 677 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: spewing their talking points and their version of the news 678 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 1: member news as a narrative. People who say otherwise don't 679 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: know what they're talking about, or they're lying to you. 680 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: It's a narrative. It's a construct. People look at what's 681 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: happening in the world, or they decide what they think 682 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 1: is happening in the world, and they write it down 683 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: and then they put it on TV. That's it. A 684 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: lot of stuff that happens in port never makes it 685 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,879 Speaker 1: on the news. Fact, I think a lot of nights 686 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 1: right now, he's turn on CNN and it's the I 687 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 1: Hate Trump Channel. As I say, we got my man 688 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:54,800 Speaker 1: gurgling with Gurgan up there, or Trump Watergate. It's gonna 689 00:38:54,800 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: be absolutely impreachment, Watergate, niction for Reagan, impeach water groot. 690 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 1: That's what's gonna happen over there. It's just the I 691 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: Hate Trump channel. That's all they do. Gets boring after 692 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,279 Speaker 1: a while, don't you think. But Sinclair controls a fair 693 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:16,760 Speaker 1: amount of stations local news stations across the country, including, 694 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: by the way, a channel I believe here in New 695 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: York called w p i X that I used to 696 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 1: watch growing up because they had all of the like 697 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: second tier action movies practically running on a loop. Man, 698 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: I saw so many Van dam Chuck Norris and Stallone 699 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: movies playing during the eight pm hour on w p 700 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 1: i X. I loved it, dude, it was amazing. So 701 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: I have a debt of gratitude to Saint Claire for 702 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: providing me with countless hours as a youth of action 703 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: movies without me having to go to the video store, 704 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 1: which is kind of a quaint little a quaint little 705 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: vestige of history now right, it doesn't really doesn't really exist. 706 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: I mean there are some here and there, But Sinclair 707 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 1: gave me, gave me lots of Chuck Norris and Van 708 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: Damn time in my youth. For that, I'm thankful, but 709 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 1: they're all angry about this. You know, John Oliver, John Oliver, 710 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 1: who's going to show where he cares. She's lot really loudly, 711 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: and he lectures Americans on politics and he kind of 712 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 1: looks and sounds funny and stupid. People think he's smart 713 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: because he's British. He did this whole thing on Sinclair. 714 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: I think it was last summer where he was saying, 715 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: how you know it's it's a threat to our democracy 716 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 1: and that became the big the big line this weekend, 717 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel tweeted out that Sinclair's a threat to our democracy. 718 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: So more speech is a threat to democracy now, or 719 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 1: speech that they don't like is a threat to democracy. 720 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: This is I think a continuation of Trump's arrangement syndrome. 721 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 1: That montage I played you was of a really a 722 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,839 Speaker 1: public service announcement that they ran on Sinclair channels. They're like, look, 723 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 1: there's you know, we strive to provide you with the 724 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 1: best information. You know, there is fake news out there, 725 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,360 Speaker 1: there are people that say things that aren't true, and 726 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 1: if we ever do that, you know, let us know. 727 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,839 Speaker 1: That's what actually the full statement was all about. And yeah, 728 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: they ran in all the different channels as a public 729 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: service announcement. But on any given night, I can turn, 730 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:17,800 Speaker 1: I can flip between how ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, CNN, 731 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: MSNBC all cover the latest you know story in the 732 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: Mueller probe. And maybe there't use exactly the same words, 733 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 1: but they might as well because it's the same darn 734 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 1: thing on any given night. Right, So there's notion that 735 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: the media doesn't already speak with one voice overwhelmingly on 736 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 1: the left is a joke. But the notion that there 737 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 1: may be competition in the cable additional competition in the 738 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 1: TV news space. I think Sinclair has UH coverage in 739 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,720 Speaker 1: seventy five percent of US homes just goes to show 740 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: you that the left, when it comes to speech in general, 741 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: but particularly television news, is anti competitive. It is to 742 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,360 Speaker 1: their great regret that they can't stamp Fox News out 743 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 1: from the get go, because they've done that to other channels. 744 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: Oh yes, my friends, there have been other channels that 745 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:24,439 Speaker 1: would be conservative news networks that have been prevented from 746 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 1: getting full cable distribution for reasons of politics, because who 747 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: owns these cable distributors? Oh that's right, Comcast, Time, Warner, 748 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: do you think that do you think that those are 749 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: conservatives the executives that run those I'm gonna give you 750 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: a hint. The answers, No, so Sinclair is according to 751 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,359 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel. According to John Oliver, oh look, I'm so 752 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 1: funny and they can just let me curse and talk 753 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 1: about American politics. Yeah, that shows they're just all They're 754 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 1: just all repeats of each other. It's just it's the same, 755 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 1: same thing, the same it's the the audience. They're like 756 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 1: hamsters hitting the pedal. Ha ha. Republicans are racist, ha ha. 757 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,320 Speaker 1: Trump is an idiot, ha ha. He's destroying the country. 758 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 1: They're all doing the same thing. I actually had the 759 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:20,800 Speaker 1: experience speaking of like a a singular a singular voice 760 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 1: in the media. I flipped between the gym. This is 761 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 1: over the weekend. I was in a hotel because I 762 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: was out in in Indiana Fort Wayne, great place. I'll 763 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,800 Speaker 1: tell you more about my trip out there later. And 764 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 1: I yeah, I rarely well why sometimes I like to 765 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 1: flip on local TV actually when I'm in another part 766 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,439 Speaker 1: of the country, just to kind of get a sense 767 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 1: of like how do they roll here with that? You know, 768 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,239 Speaker 1: what are they putting on the air kind of what 769 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 1: kind of ads they run and what's I like to 770 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 1: check out the vibe of the local news broadcast or 771 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,280 Speaker 1: see what they're you know, we'll see what they're into. Yeah, 772 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,040 Speaker 1: you know, you get up to like bang or main. 773 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 1: They're like a rogue moose on the loose. It's like 774 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,120 Speaker 1: the most exciting thing you'll see. And everyone was like, 775 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: oh gosh, look at that moose. Go he's gone wrong. Um, 776 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:06,759 Speaker 1: but yeah, I like to check out the local news 777 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 1: in different places. And I was watching, I was flipping 778 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 1: through some of the channels, and I happened to stamp 779 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 1: stumble upon the broadcast networks right, speaking of domination of 780 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 1: the cable spectrum. So I turned. I go from in 781 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 1: one series of about two minutes, Max, I go from 782 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 1: the Jimmy Kimmel Show. I don't even know. I never 783 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,560 Speaker 1: watched these guys. I don't even know what Jimmy Kimmel 784 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,279 Speaker 1: on one of the networks, to Stephen Colbert on one 785 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,360 Speaker 1: of the networks, to even Jimmy Fallon on one of 786 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 1: the networks. She tends to be, I think, less political 787 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 1: than the others. And they're all doing a variation of 788 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,399 Speaker 1: the same Trump joke basic. You know, it's like they're 789 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,400 Speaker 1: all just in the midst of a you know, Trump 790 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 1: is a weirdo destroying the country joke. And I'm just 791 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 1: thinking to myself, not only has the left now destroyed 792 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,799 Speaker 1: comedy and they're no longer funny, but they're not even 793 00:44:55,840 --> 00:45:00,760 Speaker 1: original anymore. They don't even have new interest doing content 794 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 1: to offer about how much they hate Conservatives and believe 795 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 1: in Christians in America and all the rest of it. 796 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 1: They don't even come up with interesting ways of saying it. 797 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 1: It's just all repetitive now, it's all echo chamber effect. 798 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 1: And they have no excuse because you see, on the right, 799 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 1: you could even make the case that sometimes the repetition 800 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,360 Speaker 1: of messaging is necessary because we are pushing back against 801 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 1: much larger and more numerous megaphones. On the left, they 802 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,800 Speaker 1: just do it because it's easy and because of cowardice, 803 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 1: because it go with the flow of the mob mentality. 804 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 1: But here, I mean, it's late at nine, I'm in 805 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,839 Speaker 1: a hotel. You know, there's you know, there's that like 806 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 1: there's that like, oh, I'm in a hotel in a 807 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,439 Speaker 1: in a new city field when you're like the first 808 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: night you're there, and you know, it'd be nice to 809 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,279 Speaker 1: flip something on. It'd be nice to turn on the 810 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 1: TV and I don't know, check in with like maybe 811 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,360 Speaker 1: maybe they're running big trouble a little China, and I 812 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 1: can see my buddy Jack Burton's doing Jack Burton me, 813 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 1: you know, something like that. But instead I see these 814 00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 1: different comedians who aren't even funny, and they immediately not 815 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 1: insult me, but just annoy me with their crappy Trump jokes, 816 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 1: one after another, rapid succession. And so that's the media 817 00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,280 Speaker 1: environment that we're currently in. And that's the media environment 818 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 1: where we have members of the media complaining that Sinclair 819 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,160 Speaker 1: might have a merger with Tribune, which you mean that 820 00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:23,280 Speaker 1: there's another possible big time player in the conservative space, 821 00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 1: which to me just sounds fantastic. You know, whatever happened 822 00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,719 Speaker 1: to free market folks, whatever happened, And may the best man, 823 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,760 Speaker 1: the best company win. Well, pup up up whenever comes. 824 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 1: There's too much and you competitive, you're gonna be kidding me. 825 00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 1: They have ABC in their pockets, CBS in their pocket, 826 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 1: NBC in their pocket, CNN, and I mean, you go 827 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,399 Speaker 1: down the list, and we can't we can't have one 828 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,880 Speaker 1: one more channel. That's I don't even know what it 829 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,839 Speaker 1: would be because it hasn't even formed yet, but they 830 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,880 Speaker 1: are so set against this and trying to drum up 831 00:46:55,920 --> 00:47:02,480 Speaker 1: all this opposition by hyperventilating over and just nonsense. That's 832 00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:06,239 Speaker 1: what they're doing. It really is. It's nice. I gotta say. 833 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:07,279 Speaker 1: It was nice to be in a city where I 834 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,279 Speaker 1: could walk around and just have the feeling this was 835 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: in Fort Wayne, Indiana, have the feeling of just being like, hey, 836 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 1: what's up. You vote for Trump? And there was a 837 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,440 Speaker 1: pretty good chance to be like, yeah, let's make America 838 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,880 Speaker 1: great again. And I could be like thanks, random stranger 839 00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 1: on the street, high five. We probably would get along 840 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 1: really well and agree on most things. Instead of New 841 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:27,719 Speaker 1: York and people like what do you do? And I'm like, 842 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:32,360 Speaker 1: I work working in the media. You know, work for 843 00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,360 Speaker 1: a meat media company. You know it is. I do 844 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,880 Speaker 1: some stuff. Well, what do you do for that? You know? 845 00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 1: Is right? And do some maybe do a little radio 846 00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,399 Speaker 1: if I want to sound cool. Though, it's like podcasting 847 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,160 Speaker 1: because the left podcasting is cool. Radio is owned by 848 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 1: the right, so they don't like that anymore. You know, 849 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 1: on the talk space, you gotta podcast do some stuff. 850 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 1: Here and there. Anyway, I mentioned something to do about 851 00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,440 Speaker 1: um a couple of things. We've got some updates on 852 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 1: the Hog v. Ingram case, which I'll bring to you. 853 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 1: And then also guns. They're using laws to seize guns 854 00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:12,480 Speaker 1: from people that should not have their guns seas. This 855 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 1: is not surprising to any of you, I'm sure, but 856 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:19,000 Speaker 1: it is still absolutely worth our time to discuss. So 857 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,680 Speaker 1: we will get into that and much more right after 858 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 1: this break. Very interesting news over the weekend. I mentioned 859 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,840 Speaker 1: the issue of firearm confiscations. Don't worry, I'll get to that. 860 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,440 Speaker 1: I don't like to put a teaser out there. And then, oh, 861 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,319 Speaker 1: let's just switch topics because Buck has a brain that 862 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 1: goes in too many directions at once. Sorry, there's other 863 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 1: things though. London, for the first time in recorded history 864 00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 1: more murders than New York City. Yeah at now that's 865 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,960 Speaker 1: only up to this point in this year, but more 866 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,959 Speaker 1: people have been killed in London than in New York. 867 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,680 Speaker 1: By the way, how are people being killed in London? 868 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,920 Speaker 1: We get lectures a lot about gun control and gun violence. 869 00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,879 Speaker 1: Guess what they're being killed with knives and a lot 870 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 1: of it in home invasions. So you have the largest 871 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 1: city in the United Kingdom and the largest city in 872 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:30,759 Speaker 1: the United States, both around eight million ish residents. And 873 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 1: you are safer in New York City where you can 874 00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:36,440 Speaker 1: own a gun. I mean you can do it. I 875 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,400 Speaker 1: know people who who do just very It's a little annoying. 876 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,759 Speaker 1: It's difficult, but it's not impossible versus the UK, where 877 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 1: it's basically impossible to get a handgun in London, basically impossible. 878 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,920 Speaker 1: Um and yet people who are bad fine ways to 879 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:55,000 Speaker 1: do bad things. Nonetheless, they kill people with knives and 880 00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 1: invade their homes while they're in them, knowing that they're 881 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:04,200 Speaker 1: not they're very unlikely to come up against lethal resistance, 882 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,839 Speaker 1: lethal self defense. So and I'm sure in a lot 883 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,680 Speaker 1: of cases they've already cased the establishment or case the residents. No, 884 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 1: it's probably an older person or you know. So that's 885 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,239 Speaker 1: that's going on lone. And so next time they all 886 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,840 Speaker 1: start lecturing us about oh it all the violence and everything, 887 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 1: well it's not it's not as easy. It's not as 888 00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,080 Speaker 1: straightforward a thing as they think. By by the way, 889 00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 1: it's also a note also a a point to make 890 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,560 Speaker 1: here that New York City, I know a lot of 891 00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,359 Speaker 1: you probably are like a buck. I don't like New York. 892 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,680 Speaker 1: That's fine where I'm doing the show from right now, 893 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,759 Speaker 1: though it's it's a different place than almost twenty years ago. 894 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 1: It's so much safer than it feels like a different city. 895 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 1: It's pretty astonishing. But that's a story for another time. 896 00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:50,879 Speaker 1: Are the guns thou police legally season guns under red 897 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,880 Speaker 1: flag laws? This was a big story up on Fox 898 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,120 Speaker 1: News today. Let me give you some of the details here. 899 00:50:56,239 --> 00:51:00,759 Speaker 1: Alexander Mackenzie, thirty one year old Army veteran who was 900 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:05,120 Speaker 1: being treated for PTSD and his gun confiscated by the 901 00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 1: Seattle Police Department even though he had committed no crime. 902 00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 1: It's one of twenty seven guns seized legally by the 903 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:17,360 Speaker 1: Seattle Police Department from sixteen individuals under Washington's new Extreme 904 00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:24,399 Speaker 1: Risk Protection Order law. Um, so you have people who 905 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,359 Speaker 1: are having their guns taken from them under these red 906 00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:33,040 Speaker 1: flag laws thirty states. According to the the Brady Campaign, 907 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:34,960 Speaker 1: which was I forget what the original name of the 908 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,480 Speaker 1: Brady Campaign wants, but it's basically the the campaign to 909 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,560 Speaker 1: band handguns. Right now people have referred to as the 910 00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,320 Speaker 1: Brady Campaign. It used to be the Campaign to band handguns. 911 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:48,480 Speaker 1: Pretty much what was it called, Mike, I can't hear you. 912 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,719 Speaker 1: We's in just the Brady Bill. No, originally before was 913 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,040 Speaker 1: the Brady Bill, it was the the organization was called 914 00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,640 Speaker 1: something else. You'll find out. You'll be like, wow, Buck, 915 00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,719 Speaker 1: your wisdom extend ends beyond my wildest dreams. How did 916 00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:03,719 Speaker 1: you know such things? And I'll have to say, producer, Mike, 917 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:05,799 Speaker 1: because all I do is read all day. I have 918 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,960 Speaker 1: no social life, maybe even have no life, but I 919 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,759 Speaker 1: do read a lot. There's something you'll see. There's a 920 00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:13,680 Speaker 1: name there. It was called something else before it was 921 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:17,640 Speaker 1: the Brady Campaign. Um, there was another name for it. 922 00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:21,320 Speaker 1: We'll figure out what it is. I'm seeing the Brady 923 00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:25,080 Speaker 1: Handgun Violence Prevention Act, thinking, no, no, no, no, I'll 924 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,040 Speaker 1: find it. I'll find that. I'll tell everybody. I'm just 925 00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:28,919 Speaker 1: gonna pretend that I'm still right, even though it sounds 926 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:33,120 Speaker 1: like maybe I'm off the I'm off the off the 927 00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:34,920 Speaker 1: field on this one. But anyway, we're coming back to 928 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,000 Speaker 1: this so that they're getting rid of people's guns. Now. 929 00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 1: In this one case, the guy actually PTSD said he 930 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,120 Speaker 1: didn't really mind because he was having a really tough time. Alright, Fine, 931 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:44,799 Speaker 1: here's what ends up. Happening that, folks. I just want 932 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,640 Speaker 1: to prepare you for where this goes. They started to 933 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,680 Speaker 1: use these red flag laws against people with PTSD, they 934 00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,279 Speaker 1: start to use it against people that have any form 935 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:56,960 Speaker 1: of mental illness. What they do is, even in cases 936 00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,560 Speaker 1: where they overstepped, they're gonna say, well, you know what, 937 00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 1: we're just trying to keep people safe and we're trying 938 00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,759 Speaker 1: to prevent guns from being the hands of the mentally ill. 939 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,600 Speaker 1: And it becomes a talking point for them. This is 940 00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,919 Speaker 1: how the propaganda gets made. This is the machinery of 941 00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,839 Speaker 1: the talking points and the propaganda the Democrats will put 942 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:20,239 Speaker 1: out there to get national level gun control legislation when 943 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,759 Speaker 1: they have a Democrat majority, etcetera, etcetera. This is how 944 00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 1: they do it. They create a situation where you're gonna 945 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,520 Speaker 1: have conservatives people like me who are saying, well, hold 946 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,120 Speaker 1: a whole lot of second, you can't be taking guns 947 00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,960 Speaker 1: away from veterans who have PTSD or no threat to 948 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,680 Speaker 1: others or themselves and have done anything anything illegal, have 949 00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,439 Speaker 1: nothing wrong. And then when I get on record saying 950 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 1: stuff like that, then the way the left respondses, oh see, 951 00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:47,240 Speaker 1: the right won't even won't even agree that we should 952 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:48,960 Speaker 1: take guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. 953 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,080 Speaker 1: They won't get into the specifics that we're talking about 954 00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:55,280 Speaker 1: veterans of PTSD and other people who have you know, uh, 955 00:53:55,440 --> 00:54:00,440 Speaker 1: mental health issues but are not mentally ill in in 956 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:04,439 Speaker 1: any broad sense of the term. And that's the way 957 00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,000 Speaker 1: that this is meant. So this is just the beginning. 958 00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 1: It's incrementalism. You'll see more of this with some of 959 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,200 Speaker 1: these red flag laws in states that are considering passing them. 960 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:16,279 Speaker 1: They're going to start taking guns away from people, and 961 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,040 Speaker 1: then they'll be a really high level, high profile case 962 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,400 Speaker 1: that will come up, I guarantee it. And once that 963 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,839 Speaker 1: high profile case comes up, what you won't hear, Oh 964 00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,200 Speaker 1: they're taking guns away from a veteran because of PTSD. 965 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,440 Speaker 1: You'll just hear, oh, see the n r A wants 966 00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,120 Speaker 1: guns in the hands of them mentally ill. Yes, the 967 00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 1: gun grabbers are willing to slander veterans and to do 968 00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,280 Speaker 1: so in a way that they won't even be honest 969 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,239 Speaker 1: about what they're doing in order to try to get 970 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 1: more confiscations going. Um, all right, we'll be back in 971 00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:57,400 Speaker 1: just a minute. Team, stay with me. He's holding the 972 00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:01,440 Speaker 1: line for America. Buck Sex, it is back gus they're 973 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,120 Speaker 1: disgusting individuals like a critical and disgusting that she doesn't 974 00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,239 Speaker 1: care about them. She doesn't care about police because she 975 00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,520 Speaker 1: doesn't care about these children's lives, because our parents don't 976 00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,120 Speaker 1: know how to use democracy, So we have tars are 977 00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:13,200 Speaker 1: out there that want to continue to somewhere guns, murder 978 00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:16,000 Speaker 1: more children and honestly just get reelected. Let's see more 979 00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:23,759 Speaker 1: money than children's lives, you kill. So that was just 980 00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:29,600 Speaker 1: a smattering of what David Hogg goes out in public 981 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:33,400 Speaker 1: and says, and we can find even worse stuff. Claims 982 00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,400 Speaker 1: people don't care about dead children, claims that the n 983 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,319 Speaker 1: r RAY is a terrorist organization, or that it could 984 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:41,239 Speaker 1: have the blood of children on their faces and they 985 00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:45,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't stop what they're doing. The implication, of course, of 986 00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:50,120 Speaker 1: the n RAY is responsible for the horrific shooting in Parkland, 987 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 1: and this has gotten a lot of attention because we 988 00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:59,160 Speaker 1: saw something very important and very noteworthy. I guess that's 989 00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,000 Speaker 1: just another way of saying important, so we can scratch 990 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,560 Speaker 1: one of those from the record, But nonetheless, we saw 991 00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,920 Speaker 1: something very important happen with how this played out with 992 00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:11,920 Speaker 1: Laura Ingram, and that is you can't apologize to those 993 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,000 Speaker 1: who weaponize debates on the left and who turned this 994 00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:19,680 Speaker 1: into a function of ruining lives, ruining livelihoods, ruining careers 995 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:23,000 Speaker 1: and reputations. You can't apologize to them because they're not 996 00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,919 Speaker 1: operating in a good faith. Laura Ingram apologized, Hogg said, 997 00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:29,560 Speaker 1: he openly said he did not accept This is a 998 00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:36,439 Speaker 1: seventeen year old kid. Did not accept her apology. Oh 999 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,560 Speaker 1: and then you had all these sponsors pull out, sponsors 1000 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:43,000 Speaker 1: that were showing, under the circumstances, a complete lack of 1001 00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 1: any respect for the difficulty of doing a political show 1002 00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,319 Speaker 1: like this, a show like Laura Ingrams where you're gonna 1003 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,600 Speaker 1: take positions. Now, look, do I think that Laura should 1004 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,480 Speaker 1: have gotten into this kid getting rejected from school. No, 1005 00:56:57,640 --> 00:56:59,600 Speaker 1: And everyone on the right that I respect has already 1006 00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:01,680 Speaker 1: said that she made a mistake. I mean, it wasn't 1007 00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,279 Speaker 1: a smart thing to do, wasn't the right thing to do, 1008 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,160 Speaker 1: But it wasn't a terrible thing to do either. Wasn't 1009 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:11,120 Speaker 1: a big deal. But the left is using hog as 1010 00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 1: both sword and shield, and there's a huge double standard 1011 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:20,000 Speaker 1: that's at work as well. The double standard is that 1012 00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:24,000 Speaker 1: when you have someone like Joan Walsh who's over at CNN, 1013 00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:29,560 Speaker 1: who has said nasty things about about Kyle Cashev, for example, 1014 00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,200 Speaker 1: there's no outcry for her to be taken off the air. 1015 00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,400 Speaker 1: No one suggests, oh my gosh, you know she she 1016 00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 1: can't be a punted anymore. Well, I mean, some people 1017 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,280 Speaker 1: have pointed it out now because the double standard is 1018 00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:48,000 Speaker 1: so disconcerting. It it's just so outrageous. But more to 1019 00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:50,600 Speaker 1: the point, we just all need to be very clear. 1020 00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,800 Speaker 1: We need to be very clear about the fact that 1021 00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,560 Speaker 1: you can't apologize. You have to you have to stand 1022 00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:01,439 Speaker 1: your ground own even when you're a little bit wrong. 1023 00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,040 Speaker 1: And I know that seems that seems like, come on, buck, 1024 00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,920 Speaker 1: it's not how we do things. But when you're dealing 1025 00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:09,240 Speaker 1: with these character assassins on the left, when you were 1026 00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,800 Speaker 1: dealing with a concerted effort to take someone down, to 1027 00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:17,080 Speaker 1: ruin their reputation, to drive away sponsors, to to really 1028 00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:23,560 Speaker 1: engage in a form of surgical strike economic warfare, which 1029 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:25,200 Speaker 1: is what this is. And and by the way, it's 1030 00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,280 Speaker 1: not even that surgical. You know, if they pulled lower 1031 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,000 Speaker 1: Ingram off the air, there are people that work on 1032 00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,960 Speaker 1: that show who might lose their jobs. I know what 1033 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:34,960 Speaker 1: this is like, I have friends who are producers at 1034 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,680 Speaker 1: these networks. I know what it's like for these hosts. 1035 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,680 Speaker 1: And I've also been in newsrooms when people have gotten 1036 00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:42,200 Speaker 1: fired for no wrong doing of their own. Just because 1037 00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:48,920 Speaker 1: someone a host has gotten let go, oftentimes they'll can everybody. 1038 00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,760 Speaker 1: So is that really fair under the circumstances? No, of 1039 00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,640 Speaker 1: course not. Is that called for given the host being 1040 00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,800 Speaker 1: let go and possibly other people losing their jobs as 1041 00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:01,160 Speaker 1: well because Ingram made a joe about or not even 1042 00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,640 Speaker 1: really a joke just to comment and ill advised comment 1043 00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:07,520 Speaker 1: about Hogs college acceptances. While we're talking about this, I 1044 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 1: just want to know is the standard on the left 1045 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:14,400 Speaker 1: now that we have uh we we have to expect 1046 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,720 Speaker 1: that anyone who is a spokesperson for the March for 1047 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:21,320 Speaker 1: Our Lives gets into any college they want. Is anything 1048 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:23,560 Speaker 1: short of that unacceptable? I just would like to know 1049 00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,440 Speaker 1: what the what the standard is. Does Kyle Cashev, when 1050 00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:28,320 Speaker 1: the time comes for him to apply to college get 1051 00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:30,160 Speaker 1: to assume that he can get into any college and 1052 00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:34,200 Speaker 1: if not, there's a political conspiracy against him, because that's 1053 00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 1: what was raised before. There's something uh, very instructive about 1054 00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:45,240 Speaker 1: this whole situation with Ingram and Hog and it's a 1055 00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:47,000 Speaker 1: reminder for all of us. By the way, Fox News, 1056 00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:50,200 Speaker 1: to its credit, has released a statement today from the 1057 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:55,400 Speaker 1: co presidents saying that you know, Laura's coming back and 1058 00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:59,480 Speaker 1: it's and that's it and good for them. You know, 1059 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,880 Speaker 1: if we're at the point where Fox News is subject 1060 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:10,000 Speaker 1: to the pressure campaigns of these activists claiming to be 1061 01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,720 Speaker 1: all about the public good but really just pushing their 1062 01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:16,240 Speaker 1: own very very narrow agendas. But if we get to 1063 01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,400 Speaker 1: that point, my friends, where are we going to have 1064 01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:21,360 Speaker 1: a voice that's safe. It's just a matter of time 1065 01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,600 Speaker 1: before they take off people who are on radio, who 1066 01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,320 Speaker 1: are hosts that they don't like, they'll start taking to 1067 01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,360 Speaker 1: They'll they'll pick us off from the top down, one 1068 01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:32,480 Speaker 1: by one until they have information dominance in the media space, 1069 01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,000 Speaker 1: true information dominance. I mean, there won't be any voices 1070 01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,120 Speaker 1: that will really be able to call them out and 1071 01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:43,400 Speaker 1: affect the national conversation. This is critical and it's also 1072 01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:44,880 Speaker 1: reminder of why when I say things to you like 1073 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,240 Speaker 1: please support this show, please support our sponsors. You all 1074 01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,360 Speaker 1: have an active role. People asked this. I was asked 1075 01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,320 Speaker 1: this this weekend actually in at WHOA Whoa. When I 1076 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,360 Speaker 1: was in Fort Wayne and we did a live event 1077 01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,160 Speaker 1: for our listeners there. You know, what what can the 1078 01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,440 Speaker 1: average folks do here? And that's a question that you 1079 01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,720 Speaker 1: get a lot, and that's the one that is essential. 1080 01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:07,080 Speaker 1: I understand why people ask it. One of the things 1081 01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,760 Speaker 1: you can do is support the side that reflects your 1082 01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:14,120 Speaker 1: values and beliefs in the so called information war that's 1083 01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:17,280 Speaker 1: going on right now. It means listen, it means spread 1084 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,000 Speaker 1: the word. It means support the sponsors. You know. That's 1085 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:21,640 Speaker 1: why when I say to you, yeah, please check out 1086 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,440 Speaker 1: sponsors on this show. You see how important all this is. 1087 01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,200 Speaker 1: Because the sponsors pull out of a show, for example, 1088 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:29,600 Speaker 1: And my sponsors are all phenomenal patriots, and you know, 1089 01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:31,720 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about anything like that because they're all 1090 01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 1: understand what we do here and we have a great relationship, 1091 01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:37,880 Speaker 1: right But by you supporting them, the sponsors want to 1092 01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,160 Speaker 1: stay around for economic reasons, which is very important to 1093 01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:43,960 Speaker 1: the show. With Lora Ingram, the sponsors leave, the pressure 1094 01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:47,800 Speaker 1: gets turned up all of a sudden too push her aside. 1095 01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:51,439 Speaker 1: You know, it becomes a financial decision. And as I said, 1096 01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:55,640 Speaker 1: Fox has already said that's not gonna happen. But this 1097 01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:59,080 Speaker 1: is what we are up against, and they will do 1098 01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,320 Speaker 1: everything in their our two and then they don't care. 1099 01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:04,600 Speaker 1: They don't care what lives they're destroying the process, you know, 1100 01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,840 Speaker 1: they don't care who they harm and what it means 1101 01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:12,800 Speaker 1: for people. There's no there's no uh exceptions for good 1102 01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,600 Speaker 1: faith debate on the left. No, they view this as 1103 01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:21,320 Speaker 1: just open partisan warfare, and boycotts are among their favored tactics. 1104 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:26,040 Speaker 1: All right. Boycotts are top of the list. Also running 1105 01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:30,240 Speaker 1: with even the merest allegation of impropriety against a conservative personality, 1106 01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,720 Speaker 1: as though it has proven and as though there is 1107 01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:36,920 Speaker 1: no other version of events right away. That's another thing 1108 01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:41,360 Speaker 1: that they they like to do. But you know, Hag 1109 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:44,440 Speaker 1: actually wrote, where's Laura Ingram's this is on Twitter? Where's 1110 01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:50,400 Speaker 1: Laura Ingram's UH apology to Lebron James? Oh so, so, 1111 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,680 Speaker 1: now not only does he not accept an apology publicly 1112 01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:58,360 Speaker 1: for him, but he also was demanding apology for I mean, 1113 01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,040 Speaker 1: this is this is demand ending that someone bend the 1114 01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:04,880 Speaker 1: knee and then saying you want to have them metaphorically 1115 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,520 Speaker 1: executed anyway, but then saying that you want them to 1116 01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 1: bend the knee again just cuts. It's abuse and this 1117 01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:13,560 Speaker 1: is the kind of stuff that you would expect from 1118 01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:18,040 Speaker 1: Jeoffrey being barathy in in in Game of Thrones, you know, Jeoffrey, 1119 01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:21,960 Speaker 1: Jeoffrey says, if you that's I'm a big spoiler here. 1120 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:26,200 Speaker 1: He says, if you admits your sins and beg forgiveness, 1121 01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:27,880 Speaker 1: or in this case, if you admit your trees in 1122 01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:30,160 Speaker 1: and beg forgiveness, you can live. That's what he says 1123 01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:35,080 Speaker 1: to at Ards stark Um played by Sean Bean very 1124 01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,880 Speaker 1: well in that first season. And yeah, I know, big 1125 01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:42,120 Speaker 1: spoiler here, but guess what after he admits his treason, 1126 01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:49,400 Speaker 1: Little little King Jeoffrey hasn't beheaded anyway. Well, you know, 1127 01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,560 Speaker 1: if we're now in a culture where in media land, 1128 01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:56,600 Speaker 1: somebody can say you have to apologize, you do apologize, 1129 01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:58,680 Speaker 1: and they say not good enough. You still should lose 1130 01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,040 Speaker 1: all your sponsors, you still should lose your job. Oh, 1131 01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:03,200 Speaker 1: and you should be forced to appolize to other people. 1132 01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:07,439 Speaker 1: That means that this is no holds bar And that's 1133 01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,760 Speaker 1: where we are. And you want to know what you 1134 01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:11,880 Speaker 1: can do. You stand by the people, and I don't 1135 01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:15,280 Speaker 1: just this isn't just self serving for me, although hopefully 1136 01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:17,160 Speaker 1: you feel this way about me and this show. But 1137 01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,080 Speaker 1: you stand by people that are speaking the truth, that 1138 01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 1: are bringing you good information, and that do their jobs 1139 01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:25,320 Speaker 1: with ethics, with integrity, and that, by the way, do 1140 01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,440 Speaker 1: this despite the fact that it would be so much 1141 01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,120 Speaker 1: easier to go on the other side. Um, I've I've 1142 01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:31,800 Speaker 1: talked to all my friends about this here in New York. 1143 01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:33,640 Speaker 1: It'd be so much easier if I were liberal, and 1144 01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,280 Speaker 1: it it's so straightforward to I know all their arguments, 1145 01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,160 Speaker 1: I know them backwards and forwards. I could make them. 1146 01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:40,840 Speaker 1: I could be a sellout. I could be there. Oh 1147 01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:42,520 Speaker 1: I used to be a conservant. Run to the other side. 1148 01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:44,560 Speaker 1: I just couldn't live with myself though. I couldn't look 1149 01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:47,920 Speaker 1: at myself in the mirror. But you all have a voice, 1150 01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:50,040 Speaker 1: and you all have a vote in how this goes. 1151 01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,720 Speaker 1: Whether it's by continue you know, tweeting out and sending 1152 01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,760 Speaker 1: emails about how you stand with Laura, or by listening 1153 01:04:56,760 --> 01:05:01,360 Speaker 1: to this show, checking out our SPA websites, buying some 1154 01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,800 Speaker 1: of the some of their products and offerings. I mean, 1155 01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:06,200 Speaker 1: that's that's how you show your support. That's how you 1156 01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:08,560 Speaker 1: get into this fight too. So I'm happy for lord 1157 01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,240 Speaker 1: Ingland that she's coming back, and I'm also happy that 1158 01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:14,440 Speaker 1: we've all realized what's really going on here with this 1159 01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:20,520 Speaker 1: Parkland student movement that's being abused by adults for political purposes. 1160 01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:22,800 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna hit a quick break. Your team 1161 01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:35,439 Speaker 1: will be right back. Stay with me. You are now 1162 01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:40,680 Speaker 1: entering the Freedom Technical Operations Center. All sensitive programs must 1163 01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:44,600 Speaker 1: be kept strictly. Need to know Team Buck is cleared 1164 01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,880 Speaker 1: and ready for the Buck Brief. We're knocking the hell 1165 01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:49,960 Speaker 1: out of Isis will be coming out of serial like 1166 01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:53,040 Speaker 1: very soon. Let the other people take care of it now, 1167 01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:56,600 Speaker 1: very soon, very soon, we're coming out. We're gonna have 1168 01:05:56,560 --> 01:06:01,800 Speaker 1: ad of the Caliphate as they call it sometimes refer 1169 01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,920 Speaker 1: to his land and taking it all back quickly, quickly. 1170 01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:08,160 Speaker 1: But we're going to be coming out of their real suit, 1171 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:10,640 Speaker 1: going to get back to our country where we belong, 1172 01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,479 Speaker 1: where we want to be. There's three thousand or soul 1173 01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:17,240 Speaker 1: fighters still left between a Rock and Syria. We've got 1174 01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:20,440 Speaker 1: to clean that up. We have to help the region 1175 01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:25,680 Speaker 1: in Syria there, the Eastern region, stabilize itself and recover. 1176 01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:30,200 Speaker 1: If we don't, I guarantee you guarantee that Isis will 1177 01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,200 Speaker 1: re emerge, and it will be another jolt in the 1178 01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:36,720 Speaker 1: arm and their barbarism will start all over again. The 1179 01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,320 Speaker 1: second thing that will happen is we will be turning 1180 01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:43,680 Speaker 1: Syria over to the Russians, to the Iranians and Hezbollah, 1181 01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:47,880 Speaker 1: and they will encroach on Israel and as a potential 1182 01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:53,440 Speaker 1: war on the horizon between Israel and Hezba. President Trump 1183 01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:58,880 Speaker 1: renewed the relationship between the United States on the Sunni Arabs. 1184 01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,560 Speaker 1: If he pulls out of Syria, he's doing the very 1185 01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,920 Speaker 1: same things that Obamas did. Letting our Sunni Arab allies 1186 01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:09,840 Speaker 1: down makes no sense to me. There you had the 1187 01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,600 Speaker 1: current commander in chief, President Trump saying that we are 1188 01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:17,560 Speaker 1: getting out of Syria soon, and a former four star general, 1189 01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:21,880 Speaker 1: Fox News analyst Jack Keane saying, look, we leave Syria entirely, 1190 01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:25,800 Speaker 1: isis is going to re emerge. And I'm here to 1191 01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:29,400 Speaker 1: tell you they're both right. I'm here to tell you 1192 01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:33,280 Speaker 1: that Trump needs to get our troops out of Syria. 1193 01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:36,920 Speaker 1: We can't have another situation like we do in Afghanistan. 1194 01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:39,760 Speaker 1: We can't be there trying to build a better country 1195 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,120 Speaker 1: for people who won't do it for themselves or who 1196 01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:44,320 Speaker 1: are unable to do it for themselves. The world is 1197 01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:47,720 Speaker 1: a cruel and unfair place. U S soldiers do not 1198 01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:53,880 Speaker 1: join in order to create countries for other people. Aren't 1199 01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,560 Speaker 1: Americans who do not want to do the work of 1200 01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:59,560 Speaker 1: creating their own polity that is worth fighting for? That 1201 01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:04,240 Speaker 1: is that not the purpose of our military and we've 1202 01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:07,560 Speaker 1: done enough of it recently. Um And I think that 1203 01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:10,760 Speaker 1: Trump has the right instincts with this. Okay, finish the 1204 01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,520 Speaker 1: job against ISIS, but you gotta go do I think 1205 01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:16,160 Speaker 1: General Keene is wrong that ISIS will re emerge in 1206 01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:20,839 Speaker 1: some capacity. No, but we already have a near permanent 1207 01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:23,519 Speaker 1: in a sense. I mean, it depends on how you 1208 01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:26,479 Speaker 1: want to gauge it. But US military presence in Iraqs 1209 01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:30,360 Speaker 1: not going anywhere anytime soon. That's right next door. We 1210 01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:36,200 Speaker 1: can't be everywhere. We can't be the world's insert counterinsurgency force. 1211 01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:39,240 Speaker 1: We can't be suppressing every jettest movement around the globe. 1212 01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,240 Speaker 1: Even if we were, let me say this, even if 1213 01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:45,519 Speaker 1: we stayed in our current force posture in Syria right now, 1214 01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:48,679 Speaker 1: there would be another one of the Isis, the Islamic States, 1215 01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:55,360 Speaker 1: satellite entities, all these ISIS affiliates around the world that 1216 01:08:55,400 --> 01:09:01,160 Speaker 1: would eventually get enough of a lee eat against that 1217 01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:03,680 Speaker 1: national army in whatever country we're talking about, whether it's 1218 01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:08,120 Speaker 1: Nigeria or Libya or the Philippines, that there would be 1219 01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:11,080 Speaker 1: another so called caliphate in existence. That this is a 1220 01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:12,960 Speaker 1: whack a mole problem. We're going to be dealing with 1221 01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:17,200 Speaker 1: this for my entire lifetime most likely, and perhaps well 1222 01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:20,479 Speaker 1: beyond that. So we need to pick our battles and 1223 01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,720 Speaker 1: not over extend ourselves. The reason this was in the 1224 01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:26,519 Speaker 1: headlines I should notice because we lost a soldier. I've 1225 01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:30,400 Speaker 1: been saying for a while, isis Syria. All this matters. 1226 01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:34,080 Speaker 1: We have people in harm's way, and that means that 1227 01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:38,040 Speaker 1: we are going to lose some of our best and 1228 01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,479 Speaker 1: we have we certainly have in large numbers in Iraq 1229 01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:45,240 Speaker 1: and in Afghanistan, but we've also now taken losses in Syria. 1230 01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,400 Speaker 1: This Curtis. This is from CNN. A US and a 1231 01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:52,280 Speaker 1: British soldier were killed in an improvised explosive device blast 1232 01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:55,479 Speaker 1: in man Bidge, Syria, and this was last week. There 1233 01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:59,120 Speaker 1: were reportedly on a classified mission to kill or capture 1234 01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:03,519 Speaker 1: a known ISIS umber. According to a Pentagon spokesman in 1235 01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,599 Speaker 1: the U s military, is we're losing. Releasing few details 1236 01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:09,920 Speaker 1: about the mission that killed Master Sergeant Jonathan Dunbar and 1237 01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:16,760 Speaker 1: UK Soldier Sergeant Matt Tonrow, it certainly looks like a 1238 01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:21,799 Speaker 1: Tier one elite military h VT High Value target mission 1239 01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:24,920 Speaker 1: going after one of the baddest of the bad and 1240 01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:28,599 Speaker 1: we lost two of our best to an I E. D. Now, 1241 01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:32,000 Speaker 1: this is going to happen, folks. It's tragic, it's terrible. 1242 01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,320 Speaker 1: We mourn their loss and we comfort and support their 1243 01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,759 Speaker 1: families in every way that we can as a people. 1244 01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,519 Speaker 1: But if we're gonna be going after these savages who 1245 01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:43,519 Speaker 1: run the Islamic State and other jihaddest groups, we are 1246 01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:47,120 Speaker 1: going to take losses in casualties. Now, the current force 1247 01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:50,600 Speaker 1: posture in Syria is pretty lean and mean. We do 1248 01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:52,600 Speaker 1: not have that much, at least not that much that 1249 01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:55,760 Speaker 1: we are allowed to know about in Syria. And so 1250 01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:59,320 Speaker 1: to me, it's not in it's not urgent that we 1251 01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,280 Speaker 1: pull out all the soldiers who are currently there, but 1252 01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:05,439 Speaker 1: we need to not get sucked in deeper and deeper. 1253 01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:09,320 Speaker 1: And yes, it is it is true that Russia is 1254 01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:11,320 Speaker 1: more entrenched in Syria than we are, and that's going 1255 01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:14,040 Speaker 1: to continue to be the case. It is true that 1256 01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:16,160 Speaker 1: Iran is more entrenched in Syria than we are. That 1257 01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:18,200 Speaker 1: is going to continue to be the case. We can 1258 01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:21,519 Speaker 1: support good guys on the ground in Syria, we can 1259 01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:25,880 Speaker 1: support the Kurds. So we have largely I think UH 1260 01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:31,800 Speaker 1: ignominiously abandoned in recent months, or not necessarily abandoned, but 1261 01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:35,360 Speaker 1: certainly haven't stood up for enough. But we we can't 1262 01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:40,280 Speaker 1: have this be yet another nation building project, and we 1263 01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:43,280 Speaker 1: don't even know what the next phase is supposed to be. 1264 01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:46,400 Speaker 1: Against the Assad regime, We're just trying to keep it 1265 01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:50,800 Speaker 1: from being a launch pad for international jihad. And this 1266 01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:52,920 Speaker 1: is where you start to get into the very unsavory 1267 01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:56,960 Speaker 1: discussion about well can we leave behind a weekend? Enough 1268 01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:00,840 Speaker 1: isis that Assad and Syria? You know we'll keep them 1269 01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:03,640 Speaker 1: in check. And if we keep US special forces and 1270 01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:09,599 Speaker 1: UH operators, including special forces next door in Iraq, perhaps 1271 01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,160 Speaker 1: we can keep this from spiling out of control. Again. 1272 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:14,759 Speaker 1: There are no easy answers, there are no perfect answers. 1273 01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:17,759 Speaker 1: That's why I'm telling you Trump is right and General 1274 01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,519 Speaker 1: Keen is right. All right, we gotta hit our three. 1275 01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:33,719 Speaker 1: We'll be back in just a few stay would he's 1276 01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:43,120 Speaker 1: holding the line for America. Buck Sexton his back, another 1277 01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:47,880 Speaker 1: presidential statue bites the dust. Welcome to our three of 1278 01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:50,559 Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show team. I've been telling you for 1279 01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,160 Speaker 1: a while, and you've been seeing it yourselves, and you've 1280 01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:55,960 Speaker 1: been telling me because you know it's true that there 1281 01:12:55,960 --> 01:13:01,000 Speaker 1: are now no outer limits to the why washing of 1282 01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:05,080 Speaker 1: history that's going on with the pull down of various statues, 1283 01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:08,720 Speaker 1: everything from Robert E. Lee to now Christopher Columbus, the 1284 01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:15,040 Speaker 1: fight over mascots, all kinds of accusations, of microaggressions. All 1285 01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:18,680 Speaker 1: of that is happening and continues to get more and 1286 01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:23,840 Speaker 1: more absurd. At first it was all about Confederate monuments 1287 01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:30,000 Speaker 1: and some professional sports teams and college sports teams mascots, 1288 01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:34,479 Speaker 1: but now it's just going after historical figures. Now it 1289 01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:40,880 Speaker 1: is a political movement underway where progressives are leaning on 1290 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:45,280 Speaker 1: marginalized groups to be the vanguard of an effort to 1291 01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:48,680 Speaker 1: pull down statues they don't like. And wherever you are 1292 01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:52,559 Speaker 1: across the country, this is probably coming soon to a 1293 01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,639 Speaker 1: town near you, if it hasn't already hit your town. 1294 01:13:56,520 --> 01:14:00,160 Speaker 1: So the latest is McKinley. I know some of you 1295 01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:04,520 Speaker 1: are probably thinking, Buck, what's the big problem with McKinley. 1296 01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:08,840 Speaker 1: This is not someone who owned slaves, not someone who 1297 01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:13,920 Speaker 1: was part of the wrong side or the of the 1298 01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:17,719 Speaker 1: Civil War or was. You know that there's nothing about 1299 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:20,400 Speaker 1: him at first glance that would make you think that 1300 01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:26,040 Speaker 1: McKinley statues have to come down. But sure enough, that 1301 01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:29,639 Speaker 1: is in fact what's happening. There's this little town I've 1302 01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:31,880 Speaker 1: never heard of before called I don't know if it's 1303 01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:36,320 Speaker 1: Arcada or Arcata. I'm gonna assume it's Arcada because I 1304 01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,600 Speaker 1: like saying that one more. But it's right on the 1305 01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:41,519 Speaker 1: coast of California. Small town of you know, in the 1306 01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:44,160 Speaker 1: thousands of people. But they have an eight and a 1307 01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:49,880 Speaker 1: half foot bronze statue of William McKinley. Now, for those 1308 01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:54,240 Speaker 1: who don't know, McKinley was president until he wasn't in 1309 01:14:54,360 --> 01:15:01,840 Speaker 1: nineteen o one when he was assassinated did by an anarchist. 1310 01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:07,200 Speaker 1: This was on September six one. He was the president 1311 01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:09,439 Speaker 1: of the United States and he was on the grounds 1312 01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:12,799 Speaker 1: of the Pan American Exposition at the Temple of Music 1313 01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:21,200 Speaker 1: in Buffalo, New York. He was murdered assassinated by a 1314 01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:26,160 Speaker 1: fanatical anarchist named leon Chial Goosh. Now I won't get 1315 01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:28,559 Speaker 1: into too much of the Yeah, you know, Chila Goosh 1316 01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:34,000 Speaker 1: and Gutcho, who killed President Garfield, are really the the 1317 01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:37,920 Speaker 1: lesser known of the four presidential assassins. Everyone knows John 1318 01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:42,120 Speaker 1: Wilkes Booth, and everyone knows Lee Harvey Oswald, but Gucho 1319 01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:45,720 Speaker 1: and Chill Gosh are kind of lost to history. But 1320 01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:48,679 Speaker 1: you think that McKinley might get a little bit of 1321 01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:51,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, a tie goes to the Runner philosophy 1322 01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,240 Speaker 1: because you've got a guy here who was assassinated while 1323 01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:57,240 Speaker 1: US president. He doesn't have that much that's named after 1324 01:15:57,240 --> 01:16:01,000 Speaker 1: from only president to come from the great state of Ohio. 1325 01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:06,600 Speaker 1: And just recently, under the Obama administration, officially lost the 1326 01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:11,320 Speaker 1: designation of the tallest mountain in in in Alaska. So 1327 01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:16,000 Speaker 1: Mount McKinley is now Denali. But he's even gonna lose 1328 01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:19,800 Speaker 1: his or has lost his statue in this little very 1329 01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:24,680 Speaker 1: liberally heem he's he's Califonia, even he's lebu sing Califunia, 1330 01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:28,920 Speaker 1: this little liberal place named Marcada. They're getting rid of McKinley. 1331 01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:32,040 Speaker 1: And now you're probably thinking, Buck, why what grave sin 1332 01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:37,240 Speaker 1: has McKinley been guilty of in the past? That they 1333 01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:40,400 Speaker 1: have to pull down his statue. Right McKinley, as I said, 1334 01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,680 Speaker 1: not even alive during the Civil War, never owned slaves. 1335 01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:50,080 Speaker 1: Wasn't some segregationist. Oh, it's about his treatment, or rather 1336 01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:55,599 Speaker 1: his policies in dealing with Native American people's. Native American 1337 01:16:55,680 --> 01:17:00,479 Speaker 1: groups are the ones who want McKinley's statue on for 1338 01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:07,760 Speaker 1: quote settler colonialism that savaged, raped and killed. So it's 1339 01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:12,800 Speaker 1: just a a very generic general opposition to McKinley for 1340 01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:15,400 Speaker 1: being a president at a time when bad things were 1341 01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:19,040 Speaker 1: done to Native Americans. Let me just say that if 1342 01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:22,240 Speaker 1: this is now the standard, and I suppose it increasingly 1343 01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:26,320 Speaker 1: is becoming the standard, we can't have statues of anyone 1344 01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:30,040 Speaker 1: who was involved in the founding of this country. We 1345 01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:32,479 Speaker 1: can't have statues of anyone on either side of the 1346 01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:36,400 Speaker 1: Civil War. We really can have statues of anyone until 1347 01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:40,400 Speaker 1: about twenty or thirty years ago. No scratch that. I 1348 01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:43,320 Speaker 1: don't think we could have statues of any president except 1349 01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:48,280 Speaker 1: for Barack Obama, because Barack Obama would be the only 1350 01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:54,400 Speaker 1: one who, while in office, wouldn't have been in opposition 1351 01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:57,760 Speaker 1: to same sex marriage. Oh but wait a second, Barack 1352 01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:00,360 Speaker 1: Obama opposed same sex marriage when he is trying to 1353 01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:04,240 Speaker 1: become president, so he also is a human rights criminal 1354 01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:09,040 Speaker 1: by contemporary standards. So who can we have statues of 1355 01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:13,760 Speaker 1: I guess just Native American peoples who are oppressed. You know, 1356 01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:19,080 Speaker 1: you start to take this to its its own logical ends, 1357 01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:21,560 Speaker 1: and you see that there is no end, There is 1358 01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:25,679 Speaker 1: no stoppage, there is no outer boundary for this. It's 1359 01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:30,200 Speaker 1: just a question of power. It is a question of 1360 01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:36,360 Speaker 1: using the victimology of the left for rewriting our history 1361 01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:40,519 Speaker 1: and trying to dictate our present. I just wonder if 1362 01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:44,760 Speaker 1: it would be considered acceptable at this point for progressives, 1363 01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:48,320 Speaker 1: or or if it is necessary for progressives that we 1364 01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:52,880 Speaker 1: rename any states from which we have derived that that 1365 01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:57,960 Speaker 1: come from uh, British or Dutch place names. So we 1366 01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:00,960 Speaker 1: have to get rid of New York, for example, we'd 1367 01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:04,320 Speaker 1: have to get rid of Virginia. We would have to 1368 01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:07,160 Speaker 1: you just go down the line. We couldn't call it Washington, 1369 01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:10,080 Speaker 1: d C. Or Washington State because he owned slaves. Are 1370 01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:13,080 Speaker 1: we supposed to rename everything now? Are we supposed to 1371 01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:18,599 Speaker 1: only have statues that are what heroes of the twentieth 1372 01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:23,920 Speaker 1: century civil rights movement? And then homages to the oppressed 1373 01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:27,120 Speaker 1: and victimized Native American peoples of this country. Is that 1374 01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:29,240 Speaker 1: really the only part of our history that we are 1375 01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:34,040 Speaker 1: allowed to celebrate or even memorialize in any meaningful way? 1376 01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:38,960 Speaker 1: This is crazy. But you see this on Columbus Day. Now, 1377 01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:41,880 Speaker 1: you see this with various presidents. You see this with 1378 01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:45,560 Speaker 1: the founding fathers. Just wait, give it time. They'll go 1379 01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:50,720 Speaker 1: after Lincoln too, the man who presided over the eradication 1380 01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:54,320 Speaker 1: of slavery. I also just can't help but notice that 1381 01:19:54,680 --> 01:20:01,120 Speaker 1: the double standard here, the hypocrisy is stifling. How is 1382 01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:06,880 Speaker 1: it that McKinley is a subject for leftist ire right now? Which, 1383 01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:09,639 Speaker 1: by the way, how many Americans even know anything about McKinley. 1384 01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:12,720 Speaker 1: Some may know that he was assassinated and that there 1385 01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:15,320 Speaker 1: was a big mountain named after him, But after that, 1386 01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:18,400 Speaker 1: I'd be willing to bet that most folks would kind 1387 01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:20,200 Speaker 1: of scratch their heads. And if they even knew that 1388 01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:22,680 Speaker 1: the guy was president, you'd have to assume, all right, 1389 01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, not a bad showing based on what the 1390 01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:29,519 Speaker 1: general crowd knows. But why is it that I don't 1391 01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:34,240 Speaker 1: see any movements in California or New York in the 1392 01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:40,200 Speaker 1: bluest of the blue states to take down, eliminate, remove 1393 01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:45,040 Speaker 1: all statues that have anything to do with Franklin Dental 1394 01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:51,520 Speaker 1: Delano Roosevelt f d R. F DR sent Japanese Americans 1395 01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:55,640 Speaker 1: into internment camps, not in the nineteenth century, not in 1396 01:20:55,680 --> 01:21:04,880 Speaker 1: the eighteenth century, but in the within living memory for well, uh, 1397 01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:09,120 Speaker 1: some Americans at this point, it was not that long ago. 1398 01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:12,280 Speaker 1: I often have to use a roadway here in New 1399 01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:16,120 Speaker 1: York City called f d R Drive. There's the f 1400 01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:21,920 Speaker 1: DR Rose FDR Memorial on the title basin. In Washington, 1401 01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:26,840 Speaker 1: d C. There's the Roosevelt Room of the White House 1402 01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:28,880 Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. Which I believe is for f 1403 01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:33,120 Speaker 1: d R and not for Teddy Roosevelt. There are lots 1404 01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:36,639 Speaker 1: of schools and bridges and streets all named for f DR. 1405 01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:44,000 Speaker 1: He engaged in what is obviously racial profiling, racial discrimination, 1406 01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:48,479 Speaker 1: and just outright racism in the context of the day 1407 01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:52,479 Speaker 1: and in the context of today. So why is there 1408 01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:55,880 Speaker 1: no outrage? Wire is there no outcry? Oh? That's right 1409 01:21:56,520 --> 01:22:02,080 Speaker 1: because leftists and cultural mark exists in this country have 1410 01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:07,480 Speaker 1: elevated FDR, have rewritten the history to suggest that FDRs 1411 01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:13,280 Speaker 1: programs of massive government and of the redistribution of wealth 1412 01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:17,439 Speaker 1: and the creation of these enormous bureaucracies that all of 1413 01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:22,360 Speaker 1: that saved the country was economically successful and put us 1414 01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:27,240 Speaker 1: on a path towards the progressivism of today. So they're 1415 01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:33,360 Speaker 1: willing to overlook FDR's misdeeds. But now they're going after McKinley. 1416 01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:36,200 Speaker 1: And I think this is this much is obvious, right. 1417 01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:39,160 Speaker 1: If they can go after McKinley, they can go after 1418 01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:44,679 Speaker 1: any historical figure they do not like. In time, they'll 1419 01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:48,920 Speaker 1: decide that because Ronald Reagan was for traditional marriage, he 1420 01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:52,280 Speaker 1: was a human rights violator and should be stripped from 1421 01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:56,040 Speaker 1: all public monuments and memorials. And I'm not saying they'll 1422 01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:58,639 Speaker 1: always get their way with this, but they will try. 1423 01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:02,680 Speaker 1: They'll pushing and pushing, and over time they hope to 1424 01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:05,840 Speaker 1: change the culture and change the conversation enough that they 1425 01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:11,800 Speaker 1: can get their way. But if McKinley and his rather 1426 01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:16,560 Speaker 1: tragic administration, one of the four U S presidents to 1427 01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:20,320 Speaker 1: have been assassinated, if even his legacy is going to 1428 01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:24,040 Speaker 1: get caught up in the culture wars of today, nothing 1429 01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:27,519 Speaker 1: is safe, nothing is free from it. You can't assume 1430 01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:31,240 Speaker 1: that there is any historical figure until at least the 1431 01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:34,639 Speaker 1: last few decades maybe even the last few years. Who 1432 01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:37,840 Speaker 1: won't be a subject of controversy for leftist activists in 1433 01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:41,679 Speaker 1: the future. They put a rope around McKinley the statue 1434 01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:44,160 Speaker 1: and they tore it down. They'll do it to more places. 1435 01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:48,320 Speaker 1: Unless we push back rolling into quick Break, team will 1436 01:23:48,360 --> 01:24:10,680 Speaker 1: be right back. Ye forgot climate change. Genetics is the 1437 01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:17,880 Speaker 1: most contentious field of science right now, bar none. I 1438 01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:22,200 Speaker 1: had a lovely Sunday. I went to Easter service with 1439 01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:24,479 Speaker 1: my little sister. We're in different parts of city, so 1440 01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:27,479 Speaker 1: the sextons went to different churches, but I went with 1441 01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:29,759 Speaker 1: my sister and then we had a nice family dinner 1442 01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:32,240 Speaker 1: for Easter. And one of my brother said that he 1443 01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:37,160 Speaker 1: was taking one of those tests where you spit into 1444 01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:39,880 Speaker 1: a tube and you send it in and you get 1445 01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:44,960 Speaker 1: your ancestry readout. It's genetic testing. Now, that just sounds 1446 01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:48,280 Speaker 1: like some fun, and we're curious to see what the 1447 01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:53,360 Speaker 1: breakdown is. We were all taking some educated guesses last night. 1448 01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:59,320 Speaker 1: But there are much more powerful and contentious tests that 1449 01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:03,880 Speaker 1: are gonna start aren't coming to an Internet service near you, 1450 01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:08,320 Speaker 1: that don't just measure your ancestry, but are starting to 1451 01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:14,719 Speaker 1: measure intelligence. This via i Q and if you've read 1452 01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:20,400 Speaker 1: anything about the science of i Q, it is overwhelmingly 1453 01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:28,480 Speaker 1: time and again proven that i Q is largely inherited, 1454 01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:31,639 Speaker 1: and that i Q, which they sometimes referred to as 1455 01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:35,000 Speaker 1: G just the letter G as the variable for it 1456 01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:38,280 Speaker 1: as a means of trying to measure i Q. That 1457 01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:42,760 Speaker 1: i Q correlates with all kinds of life decisions and 1458 01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:47,040 Speaker 1: life achievement now correlates does not mean cause you could 1459 01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:49,479 Speaker 1: have a very high i Q and lead a miserable 1460 01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:52,240 Speaker 1: and unsuccessful life. You could have a low i Q 1461 01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:56,120 Speaker 1: and have an incredibly successful and happy life. But there 1462 01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:59,679 Speaker 1: is something there, and it is based on the science, 1463 01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:04,360 Speaker 1: much more likely to be a function of your genetics, 1464 01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:06,560 Speaker 1: as much as a lot of people don't want to 1465 01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:11,679 Speaker 1: hear that, than it is your environment. The nature nurture 1466 01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:17,600 Speaker 1: conversation is one in which one side presents analysis of 1467 01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:24,400 Speaker 1: numbers and scientific findings and controlled experiments again and again 1468 01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:29,759 Speaker 1: and again, and the other side just says that's wrong. 1469 01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:33,160 Speaker 1: And the moment they start looking at aggregate i Q 1470 01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:39,240 Speaker 1: data among populations, sure enough they will say that's racist. 1471 01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:43,960 Speaker 1: And you get into some very sensitive territory here where 1472 01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:47,240 Speaker 1: no one really wants to be treated like some kind 1473 01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:51,240 Speaker 1: of bigot or eugenicist. By making the case that i 1474 01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:56,120 Speaker 1: Q is largely inherited, it is genetic, and that in 1475 01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:59,880 Speaker 1: the aggregate, as explained in Charles Murray's book The Bell Curve, 1476 01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:06,200 Speaker 1: there are mean meaning average, not true in every case 1477 01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:10,439 Speaker 1: by any means, mean differences between various races when it 1478 01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:13,960 Speaker 1: comes to y Q. Just to state, by the way, 1479 01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:17,479 Speaker 1: what the Bell Curve is about is to come under suspicion. Now, 1480 01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:19,880 Speaker 1: just to tell you that I have read the Bell 1481 01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:24,919 Speaker 1: Curve is in progressive and I mean progressive intellectual circles, 1482 01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:28,240 Speaker 1: almost like saying, you know, I keep a copy of 1483 01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:32,439 Speaker 1: mind comp somewhere just in case, put aside for a 1484 01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:35,000 Speaker 1: moment that you actually should read mind Comps. You have 1485 01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:39,439 Speaker 1: an understanding of the evil of Hitler and his ideology. Right, 1486 01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:42,680 Speaker 1: the same reason I would read mind comp is that 1487 01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:47,200 Speaker 1: why I read isis and a sort of jihadest groups propaganda. 1488 01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:50,679 Speaker 1: But one side of this debate on i Q isn't 1489 01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:55,519 Speaker 1: interested in greater information and scientific discovery. They view this 1490 01:27:56,040 --> 01:28:00,559 Speaker 1: as an issue of politics and righteousness. And that's why 1491 01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:07,360 Speaker 1: once some of these tests become available for consumer use, 1492 01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:10,640 Speaker 1: inexpensive and you can get a sense of your i Q. Oh, 1493 01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:14,320 Speaker 1: and by the way, also your genetic predispositions to a 1494 01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:19,480 Speaker 1: whole bunch of things, different diseases like arthritis and diabetes 1495 01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:23,920 Speaker 1: and heart disease. Oh, that's right. Weight. Now, I'm veering 1496 01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:25,599 Speaker 1: away from the science for a second, but I will 1497 01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:28,559 Speaker 1: tell you this because I read obsessively on some issues, 1498 01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:31,519 Speaker 1: and particularly some areas of health. Weight is one of 1499 01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:38,280 Speaker 1: the most oversimplified issues by many in the well not 1500 01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:41,320 Speaker 1: necessarily scientific community, but that people who think they are educated, 1501 01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:48,840 Speaker 1: when in reality, everybody metabolizes differently, has different levels of sensitivity, 1502 01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:54,720 Speaker 1: different levels of insulin resistance. This notion that you or 1503 01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:58,000 Speaker 1: I are as likely to gain weight or drop weight 1504 01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:01,360 Speaker 1: from a certain caloric intake in certain foods as the 1505 01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:05,599 Speaker 1: person next to us is about as scientific as saying, well, 1506 01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:08,800 Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to be as tall or when 1507 01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:11,000 Speaker 1: I was when I was a baby, I was going 1508 01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:13,400 Speaker 1: to be as tall as every other baby in the nursery. 1509 01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:18,040 Speaker 1: Calories in, calories out matters, But how your body processes 1510 01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:21,640 Speaker 1: it is different for every human being, Just like how 1511 01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:24,439 Speaker 1: no matter how much I tried, I was never going 1512 01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:27,760 Speaker 1: to be an NBA level basketball player. I wasn't going 1513 01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:29,720 Speaker 1: to be tall enough. I wasn't going to be able 1514 01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:32,040 Speaker 1: to jump high enough. It was a function of my 1515 01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:37,320 Speaker 1: personal genetics. But we live in a society that almost 1516 01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:42,479 Speaker 1: fetishizes the notion of we all are exactly in every 1517 01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:45,080 Speaker 1: way equal. Not equal in the eyes of God and 1518 01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:47,880 Speaker 1: equal in the eyes of the law. Those are two 1519 01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:50,080 Speaker 1: things that we are, or at least should be with 1520 01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:53,840 Speaker 1: the law, but equal in terms of our gifts and abilities. 1521 01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:58,559 Speaker 1: It's just not true, and it's not helpful for everyone 1522 01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:00,760 Speaker 1: to go through life believing the they only worked a 1523 01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:05,840 Speaker 1: little harder, they could also be a genius mathematician. If 1524 01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:08,040 Speaker 1: they only spend a little more time in the gym, 1525 01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:12,799 Speaker 1: they could also reach, you know, Olympic levels as a sprinter. 1526 01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:16,439 Speaker 1: The science on all of this is already clear and 1527 01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:22,680 Speaker 1: only going to get clearer. Genetics really do matter when 1528 01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:26,519 Speaker 1: it comes to ability, and that includes intelligence. It doesn't 1529 01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:30,080 Speaker 1: mean they determine it, and it doesn't mean that someone 1530 01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:34,280 Speaker 1: is any more or less worthy as a person. But 1531 01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:38,439 Speaker 1: we need to stop shouting down scientific discovery in this 1532 01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:41,120 Speaker 1: area because it makes us somewhat uncomfortable and opens up 1533 01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:44,879 Speaker 1: a lot of difficult areas of discussion for public policy 1534 01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:49,760 Speaker 1: analysis and society as a whole. If we just treat 1535 01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:53,639 Speaker 1: each other as individuals with our own individual gifts skills, 1536 01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:56,640 Speaker 1: and treat each other as the sum of our actions 1537 01:30:56,800 --> 01:31:00,800 Speaker 1: and not our ancestry, will all be fine. But we 1538 01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:03,840 Speaker 1: shouldn't pretend that the science is not clear on this, 1539 01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:21,360 Speaker 1: because it is genetics matter, especially for intelligence. He's back 1540 01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:23,760 Speaker 1: with you now because when it comes to the fight 1541 01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:26,720 Speaker 1: for truth, the fuck never stops. You know, it's a 1542 01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:29,200 Speaker 1: little late in the show, team, but I think it's 1543 01:31:29,240 --> 01:31:34,599 Speaker 1: time for a buck slap. That was like you never 1544 01:31:34,680 --> 01:31:40,880 Speaker 1: is even catch actually very simple. Wow, that is quite 1545 01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:42,680 Speaker 1: a That is a series of slaps. That's like the 1546 01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:47,679 Speaker 1: thousand hands slap. You cannot defeat my woo shoe style. Alright, 1547 01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:51,960 Speaker 1: So Acosta, you all know Acosta. He is among the 1548 01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:57,000 Speaker 1: most grandstanding of grand standards at CNN. He is the 1549 01:31:57,120 --> 01:32:00,840 Speaker 1: one who complains when CNN doesn't get question Gingie, you 1550 01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:04,000 Speaker 1: have to pull over the we ambulance for Acosta sometimes 1551 01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:08,960 Speaker 1: because he's used to the Obama administration where CNN was 1552 01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:14,360 Speaker 1: a favored not necessarily favorite, but certainly a favored media outlet. 1553 01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:17,400 Speaker 1: And now sometimes you know, they gotta stand in line 1554 01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:19,679 Speaker 1: with the rest of the hard working Journalists of America, 1555 01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:22,280 Speaker 1: and it doesn't like he doesn't like that very much. 1556 01:32:22,479 --> 01:32:27,760 Speaker 1: But this past weekend, on Easter Sunday, no less, Jim 1557 01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:31,519 Speaker 1: Acosta decided that it was time to to press the 1558 01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:36,439 Speaker 1: president for answers. While the President, the First Lady, and 1559 01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:41,080 Speaker 1: some children were out on the White House lawn painting 1560 01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:44,640 Speaker 1: Easter eggs. I mean, this is the kind of presidential 1561 01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:46,840 Speaker 1: pageantry that you know, take it or leave it. But 1562 01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:50,200 Speaker 1: everyone kind of understands what this is. Right with some 1563 01:32:50,439 --> 01:32:53,960 Speaker 1: kids painting some Easter eggs, but not a costa man. 1564 01:32:54,160 --> 01:32:57,360 Speaker 1: He wants answers just the president. What about the doctor kids? 1565 01:32:57,360 --> 01:32:59,679 Speaker 1: Should they worry about what's going to happen to the serve? 1566 01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:08,920 Speaker 1: Didn't you kill DACA? Sir? Didn't you kill data? That's 1567 01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:11,000 Speaker 1: the time it to get a get a sound bite 1568 01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:14,519 Speaker 1: going when he's painting the Easter eggs with little kids. 1569 01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:17,200 Speaker 1: Now I understand they'll say, oh, it's their right, it's 1570 01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:19,800 Speaker 1: the First Amendment. They're trying to just speak to the 1571 01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:22,360 Speaker 1: power and everything else. Let me just say that I 1572 01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:26,000 Speaker 1: remember what it was like during the Obama administration and 1573 01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:28,960 Speaker 1: if a member of the press pushed too hard, you remember, 1574 01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:30,960 Speaker 1: I think it was that guy from the Daily Caller, 1575 01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:35,200 Speaker 1: actually who when Obama gave a speech in the Rose Garden, 1576 01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:36,640 Speaker 1: he just at the end tried to get in a 1577 01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:39,880 Speaker 1: question when Obama didn't want to take questions, and oh, 1578 01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:43,360 Speaker 1: there are such an outrage. How dare you, sir? How 1579 01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:47,840 Speaker 1: dare you ask questions of the great Barack Obama. It's 1580 01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:52,440 Speaker 1: terrible you would do such a thing, how uncouth, how barbarous. 1581 01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:56,760 Speaker 1: But now that it's the Trump administration, all the old 1582 01:33:56,880 --> 01:34:03,439 Speaker 1: rules no longer apply. The hypocrisy from the media is endless. 1583 01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:07,599 Speaker 1: But you have at least one person who's not letting 1584 01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:09,800 Speaker 1: it well. I'm obviously not letting it slide because the 1585 01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:13,800 Speaker 1: costa guess the buck slap. But we have one person 1586 01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:18,720 Speaker 1: out there who has also decided to call out Acosta 1587 01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:25,719 Speaker 1: on Twitter. Uh, Brad Parscal, who is Trump's campaign manager 1588 01:34:26,439 --> 01:34:29,200 Speaker 1: and kind of looks like a guy who might be 1589 01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:32,000 Speaker 1: from the show Sons of Anarchy. I'm just saying it's 1590 01:34:32,040 --> 01:34:34,559 Speaker 1: not who you would expect to be the campaign manager. 1591 01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:38,200 Speaker 1: Like if Parscal wasn't wearing a suit and all of 1592 01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:40,920 Speaker 1: a sudden threw on a cut off, you know, a 1593 01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:45,360 Speaker 1: sleeveless leather jacket and had a big gang emblem on 1594 01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:47,439 Speaker 1: the back. You'd be like, he's part of the you 1595 01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:51,880 Speaker 1: know something something writers. I don't know any cool any 1596 01:34:51,960 --> 01:34:53,920 Speaker 1: cool names from the Sons of Anarchy. I only saw 1597 01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:55,720 Speaker 1: a couple of episodes. I should go back and watch more. 1598 01:34:55,800 --> 01:34:57,840 Speaker 1: I know, guys, my list at this point. You'll notice 1599 01:34:57,960 --> 01:35:00,080 Speaker 1: I don't ask for any more show recommendations because our 1600 01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:03,240 Speaker 1: list is long at this at this juncture. But Parscal 1601 01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:06,320 Speaker 1: tweeted out, maybe it is time for a Costa to 1602 01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:15,599 Speaker 1: get a suspension for breaking protocol. And then Parsqual uh 1603 01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:18,880 Speaker 1: well pars out with that, and then a Costa came 1604 01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:23,320 Speaker 1: back and responded, um that he was just doing just 1605 01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:26,280 Speaker 1: doing my job, he writes, which is protected by the 1606 01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:29,360 Speaker 1: First Amendment of the Constitution. You might want to give 1607 01:35:29,439 --> 01:35:35,919 Speaker 1: it a read. Yeah, that's right over over at CNN. 1608 01:35:36,720 --> 01:35:40,200 Speaker 1: The rules are constantly changing, and they have decided sure 1609 01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:45,240 Speaker 1: enough that whatever they have to do to get in 1610 01:35:45,320 --> 01:35:47,880 Speaker 1: a sound bite that shows their opposition to Trump, they 1611 01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:51,360 Speaker 1: are absolutely willing to do. So. You know, I was 1612 01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:53,120 Speaker 1: just telling some folks over the weekend when I was 1613 01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:56,000 Speaker 1: in Indiana, we had some Q and A at this 1614 01:35:56,360 --> 01:35:59,160 Speaker 1: talk tank session with with WHOA WHOA station out there 1615 01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:03,400 Speaker 1: are are fantas pastic affiliate in Fort Wayne. And you know, 1616 01:36:03,479 --> 01:36:06,080 Speaker 1: I was sitting around and talking to some of the folks, 1617 01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:08,920 Speaker 1: and I was trying to explain how I think Twitter, 1618 01:36:09,080 --> 01:36:12,280 Speaker 1: for all of its shortcomings, because it is an echo 1619 01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:15,720 Speaker 1: chamber of stupidity, a lot of the time, has been fantastic. 1620 01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:18,920 Speaker 1: It allows the president to go right around the media 1621 01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:20,880 Speaker 1: and go right to the people with whatever he feels 1622 01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:23,200 Speaker 1: like saying, doesn't have to call press conference, doesn't have 1623 01:36:23,280 --> 01:36:25,240 Speaker 1: to and it just gets out there into the public 1624 01:36:25,320 --> 01:36:28,360 Speaker 1: domain right away, which is great. I'll talk more about 1625 01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:31,640 Speaker 1: Twitter come up in the next segment. But also it 1626 01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:38,439 Speaker 1: is the thing that has finally shattered the falsehood that 1627 01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:41,080 Speaker 1: the media has been running with for so long that 1628 01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:44,880 Speaker 1: their journalists are in fact unbiased, that they just do, 1629 01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:48,560 Speaker 1: you know, down the middle based on the facts, just 1630 01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:50,840 Speaker 1: the facts and all the rest of it. Because when 1631 01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:53,479 Speaker 1: you got a guy like a Costa who makes it 1632 01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:56,280 Speaker 1: very clear from his Twitter account how opposed to the 1633 01:36:56,280 --> 01:36:59,559 Speaker 1: administration he is, he can't do that at nine am 1634 01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:01,120 Speaker 1: and then at six pm up here on the news. 1635 01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:03,360 Speaker 1: Oh I'm just a news anchor, I'm just here. I'll 1636 01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:06,360 Speaker 1: tell you what happened today, and I'm about as unbiased 1637 01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:08,800 Speaker 1: as a weather man. Well I would not. I think 1638 01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:11,599 Speaker 1: even weather men, because of climate change, in many cases, 1639 01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:14,960 Speaker 1: are politicized. And I'm not particularly happier right now because 1640 01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:17,640 Speaker 1: weather men gave me bad news for today. I'll get 1641 01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:22,080 Speaker 1: to that later as well. Um, But nonetheless, things are 1642 01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:25,719 Speaker 1: moving along with Acosta and all the rest. They can't 1643 01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:30,200 Speaker 1: hide anymore. We get to see an online, real time 1644 01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:33,519 Speaker 1: record of their thoughts. We get to know where their 1645 01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:36,720 Speaker 1: biases really are, and as much as they can try 1646 01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:39,360 Speaker 1: to hide them, now they're out there for all of us. 1647 01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:43,479 Speaker 1: They're really a matter of public record. And so I 1648 01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:46,439 Speaker 1: think that's fantastic for this business. And it's really why 1649 01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:52,680 Speaker 1: CNN is in these paroxysms. The dope word, isn't it paroxysms? 1650 01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:55,120 Speaker 1: Come on, John, you can give a little nod of that. Well, 1651 01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:57,120 Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Pull that out of nowhere. It's not 1652 01:37:57,200 --> 01:38:00,400 Speaker 1: like I got a list here paroxysms of age. It's 1653 01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:04,720 Speaker 1: because they are no longer able to pose as what 1654 01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:06,160 Speaker 1: they had in the past, which is the down the 1655 01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:09,720 Speaker 1: line journalist, the gold standard of journalism, all the rest 1656 01:38:09,760 --> 01:38:12,080 Speaker 1: of that. So, yeah, Acosta receives our buck slap of 1657 01:38:12,120 --> 01:38:15,040 Speaker 1: the day. There'll be more this week, don't worry. And John, 1658 01:38:15,080 --> 01:38:18,080 Speaker 1: can we do someone. I really like that particularly um 1659 01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:21,960 Speaker 1: exciting buck slaps. We need to get some more of 1660 01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:23,880 Speaker 1: those going here. That one gets me fired up. I 1661 01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:27,280 Speaker 1: really love it makes me feel like I want to 1662 01:38:27,320 --> 01:38:30,080 Speaker 1: put on my ke and go to the dojo and 1663 01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:34,840 Speaker 1: study with the Shadoshi. Quick break, we'll be right back 1664 01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:37,280 Speaker 1: with roll call. I almost couldn't believe it. Well, woke 1665 01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:39,519 Speaker 1: up this morning in New York City and there was 1666 01:38:39,600 --> 01:38:43,320 Speaker 1: more snow coming down. Oh gosh, you know, it just 1667 01:38:43,400 --> 01:38:47,760 Speaker 1: seems unfair Forran say. Thanks to everyone out in Fort Wayne, 1668 01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:52,000 Speaker 1: Indiana who hung out over the weekend, I was able 1669 01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:54,000 Speaker 1: to meet some of the wo WOA family out there, 1670 01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:56,599 Speaker 1: and thanks to the whole team at wo wo Radio 1671 01:38:56,840 --> 01:38:59,840 Speaker 1: in Fort Wayne, we had a really fun talk tanks. 1672 01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:04,920 Speaker 1: I got to meet some fantastic Hoosiers not Indiana and 1673 01:39:05,200 --> 01:39:08,840 Speaker 1: Inns which I had to figure that one out. And 1674 01:39:09,240 --> 01:39:12,320 Speaker 1: it was a great weekend though eight no less than 1675 01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:15,680 Speaker 1: two rebis. I wanted to get the full scope of 1676 01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:21,200 Speaker 1: Indiana Ribby steak, so Friday I had just a classic 1677 01:39:21,320 --> 01:39:25,680 Speaker 1: Ribby and then Saturday I had a tomahawk, which I'm 1678 01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:30,120 Speaker 1: sure is a microaggression or bone in Rebby. So two 1679 01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:34,400 Speaker 1: Rebby's and forty eight hours means Indiana, you get a 1680 01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:36,360 Speaker 1: big high five, and I hope I get a chance 1681 01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:40,120 Speaker 1: to come out and hang out again soon. It reminds 1682 01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:41,680 Speaker 1: me I think next on the list is going to 1683 01:39:41,760 --> 01:39:45,000 Speaker 1: be Austin, Texas to go see the folks at k 1684 01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:50,120 Speaker 1: lb J.

Yeah, groove of tunes. I love 1687 01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:16,920 Speaker 1: that style of music. I think it's big band, although 1688 01:40:17,439 --> 01:40:20,360 Speaker 1: I might be getting that one wrong. But one day 1689 01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:22,439 Speaker 1: I'll throw a big party and we'll have a live 1690 01:40:22,479 --> 01:40:24,360 Speaker 1: band and they'll play tunes like that, and you know what, 1691 01:40:24,520 --> 01:40:28,400 Speaker 1: maybe it'll be a Team Bucapalooza events somewhere.

Thank you 1739 01:42:55,960 --> 01:43:02,439 Speaker 1: for the suggestion. Um. Next up here we have uh Michael, 1740 01:43:02,439 --> 01:43:05,800 Speaker 1: who writes, by the way, you were way off base 1741 01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:09,680 Speaker 1: with your discussion of Spanish Harlem. It's not a new phenomenon. Uh. 1742 01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:14,000 Speaker 1: The song Benny King released Spanish Harlem in nineteen sixty 1743 01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:18,160 Speaker 1: mostly Puerto Ricans and some Dominicans, and Michael is correct. 1744 01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:22,640 Speaker 1: I so I stand corrected on this one. It is 1745 01:43:22,880 --> 01:43:25,479 Speaker 1: in fact the case that while Compton, which is a 1746 01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:30,240 Speaker 1: well known predominantly African American neighborhood in Los Angeles, has recently, 1747 01:43:30,320 --> 01:43:33,840 Speaker 1: in the last fifteen twenty years or so, become almost 1748 01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:39,120 Speaker 1: entirely Latin American, uh, Spanish Harlem has been Spanish Harlem 1749 01:43:39,520 --> 01:43:41,920 Speaker 1: for quite a long time. There have been some other 1750 01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:44,479 Speaker 1: demographic changes in New York that are more recent. A 1751 01:43:44,560 --> 01:43:47,240 Speaker 1: part of northern Manhattan, for example, has become much more 1752 01:43:47,320 --> 01:43:50,800 Speaker 1: heavily Dominican, and there has been a lot of demographic 1753 01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:55,639 Speaker 1: inflow from Latin America. Uh. But Spanish Harlem stretches back 1754 01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:59,920 Speaker 1: much further than the recent decades where you've seen demo 1755 01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:03,040 Speaker 1: graphic change a lot of these cities. And there you 1756 01:44:03,160 --> 01:44:05,040 Speaker 1: have it. See if I get it wrong, I'll let 1757 01:44:05,080 --> 01:44:08,759 Speaker 1: you know and we correct it. But savor the flavor, Michael, 1758 01:44:08,840 --> 01:44:11,439 Speaker 1: because it's not gonna happen again. By the way, just 1759 01:44:11,479 --> 01:44:13,880 Speaker 1: a little bit of trivia. Before it was Spanish Harlem, 1760 01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:17,800 Speaker 1: it was actually largely Italian immigrants in that part of 1761 01:44:18,640 --> 01:44:22,720 Speaker 1: what is now Harlem Northern Manhattan. Now I want to 1762 01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:26,200 Speaker 1: switch gears and get into some of the emails we get. 1763 01:44:26,240 --> 01:44:29,639 Speaker 1: Remember official team Buck at gmail dot com.

I've collected 1778 01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:09,679 Speaker 1: laundry list of items I wanted to mention. Some maybe 1779 01:45:09,720 --> 01:45:12,880 Speaker 1: a little stale, but I don't write often to radio shows. 1780 01:45:13,920 --> 01:45:18,080 Speaker 1: Um Nancy Pelosi's whining about bonuses into permanent wage hikes 1781 01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:20,920 Speaker 1: is a bad idea. The Dems could just undo tax 1782 01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:23,439 Speaker 1: reform and tax your new wage increases. It should stay 1783 01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:26,000 Speaker 1: as bonuses, so when the tax cut ends, so does 1784 01:45:26,040 --> 01:45:28,599 Speaker 1: the bonus. That would make a clear linkage to demn 1785 01:45:28,680 --> 01:45:32,679 Speaker 1: policy and your salary. Twice recently, use the word archaic 1786 01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:34,880 Speaker 1: when you when the context of your usage would have 1787 01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:38,000 Speaker 1: implied arcane was the word you meant. Not a big deal. 1788 01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:42,120 Speaker 1: You generally have excellent use of language. I'm sure you're correct. 1789 01:45:43,400 --> 01:45:45,479 Speaker 1: Well I shouldn't say I'm sure you're correct, but that 1790 01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:47,400 Speaker 1: sounds like something I might have done. Those words are 1791 01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:52,599 Speaker 1: pretty close. Archaic means essentially old fashioned. Arcane means kind 1792 01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:56,559 Speaker 1: of obscure and not understood by very many anyway. Larry 1793 01:45:56,600 --> 01:45:59,360 Speaker 1: closes it up with keep up the good fight, Larry 1794 01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:02,080 Speaker 1: you Oha. Thank you so much, Larry for the kind email. 1795 01:46:02,240 --> 01:46:04,519 Speaker 1: And always always let me know if you think I 1796 01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:07,200 Speaker 1: missed one, even if it's just a word. Gotta keep 1797 01:46:07,240 --> 01:46:11,320 Speaker 1: it here in the Freedom Hunt. Uh Cathy, who is 1798 01:46:11,400 --> 01:46:15,320 Speaker 1: original Saturday Squad O s s down in Georgia. She writes, Hey, Buck, 1799 01:46:15,560 --> 01:46:17,680 Speaker 1: I just listen to your podcast from Thursday and your 1800 01:46:17,720 --> 01:46:20,920 Speaker 1: review of the TV show Roseanne. Well, I don't care 1801 01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:23,920 Speaker 1: for the show myself. I heard your description and what 1802 01:46:24,000 --> 01:46:27,200 Speaker 1: you believe would make a great sitcom for conservatives. I 1803 01:46:27,439 --> 01:46:29,160 Speaker 1: just wanted to let you know that the show you 1804 01:46:29,200 --> 01:46:31,880 Speaker 1: described is called Last Man Standing with Tim Allen. We 1805 01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:34,720 Speaker 1: got another vote for Last Man Standing here. The show 1806 01:46:34,880 --> 01:46:37,519 Speaker 1: was funny and witty and I still watched the reruns today. 1807 01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:40,360 Speaker 1: If you have not watched it, I should. I suggest 1808 01:46:40,439 --> 01:46:42,360 Speaker 1: you do, as it will prove to you a good 1809 01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:45,280 Speaker 1: conservative sitcom can be made. There are rumors all over 1810 01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:47,439 Speaker 1: the web the powers that be are thinking about bringing 1811 01:46:47,439 --> 01:46:50,719 Speaker 1: the show back. I hope they do. Cathy Oss down 1812 01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:54,439 Speaker 1: in Georgia, Kathey, I'm gonna check it out for sure. 1813 01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:56,920 Speaker 1: I've got some time coming up on the road where 1814 01:46:56,960 --> 01:46:59,760 Speaker 1: I'll be solo traveling, and that would be a great 1815 01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:01,920 Speaker 1: time for me, assuming this is on Netflix or Hulu, 1816 01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:04,479 Speaker 1: to catch up a bit with the show. And now 1817 01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:07,760 Speaker 1: we've got an email in from Chuck, who writes first 1818 01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:10,559 Speaker 1: great show. See Chuck as a wise man. He knows 1819 01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:12,400 Speaker 1: you know. You gotta butter up the host a little bit, 1820 01:47:12,439 --> 01:47:14,760 Speaker 1: and then I'll read you guys correcting my grammar and 1821 01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:17,160 Speaker 1: my usage of vocabulary. But first you gotta, you know, 1822 01:47:17,160 --> 01:47:19,880 Speaker 1: a great show, or you've just got to say something funny, 1823 01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:23,120 Speaker 1: all right, he writes. I agree, we must be careful 1824 01:47:23,160 --> 01:47:25,880 Speaker 1: how we treat Russia right now. They are not the 1825 01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:29,160 Speaker 1: bold Russia surrounded by a safety blanket of buffer states 1826 01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:32,280 Speaker 1: of the nineteen sixties Cold War. This is a vulnerable, 1827 01:47:32,320 --> 01:47:36,200 Speaker 1: threatened country who surprisingly feels bullied. I feel there are 1828 01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:38,679 Speaker 1: two incidents in Russian history that should not be ignored. 1829 01:47:39,160 --> 01:47:42,559 Speaker 1: These incidents are the Mongol domination, invasion from the east 1830 01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:46,439 Speaker 1: and the Western invasion of the Swedish russ Both these 1831 01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:50,440 Speaker 1: events left the Russians feeling vulnerable and fearful. In short analysis, 1832 01:47:50,479 --> 01:47:52,880 Speaker 1: I think these events leave the Russians feeling insecure when 1833 01:47:52,920 --> 01:47:54,960 Speaker 1: they are not surrounded by a buffer of people who 1834 01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:58,920 Speaker 1: will suffer before them. I have witnessed this in dealing 1835 01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:01,920 Speaker 1: with Russians. I know any suggestion of Russia as less 1836 01:48:01,920 --> 01:48:05,599 Speaker 1: than anywhere else brings a very chilly result. The same 1837 01:48:05,680 --> 01:48:08,320 Speaker 1: statement to say a Brazilian will get a huge laughing agreement. 1838 01:48:08,400 --> 01:48:12,599 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're a wonderful mess. Yeah they are freaking 1839 01:48:12,800 --> 01:48:15,160 Speaker 1: and I can tell you everyday Russians do freaking out. 1840 01:48:15,240 --> 01:48:17,400 Speaker 1: And I can tell you everyday Russians do not understand 1841 01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:20,599 Speaker 1: why their public enemy number one world wide, worldwide, all 1842 01:48:20,720 --> 01:48:24,120 Speaker 1: that paranoia and a huge arsenal of nuke weapons. Uh. 1843 01:48:24,280 --> 01:48:26,920 Speaker 1: This is from Chuck in Grand Rapids. Chuck, great email, 1844 01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:30,400 Speaker 1: and you're correct about the Russian sense of territorial insecurity. 1845 01:48:30,720 --> 01:48:32,960 Speaker 1: Maybe that's an issue that will return to and maybe 1846 01:48:33,080 --> 01:48:36,360 Speaker 1: John Halford mckinder can provide some of that analysis for us. 1847 01:48:36,680 --> 01:48:39,400 Speaker 1: What's that all about? Are we gonna get all geopolitical 1848 01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:42,120 Speaker 1: here in the Hut? You know the answers, Yes, but 1849 01:48:42,240 --> 01:48:45,559 Speaker 1: not today until next time. Shields high
