We'll talk about what all of that means. 23 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: Plus eighteen magazine that's celebrating Karl Marx seems pretty crazy 24 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: to me.

What a day, my friends. 29 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: Welcome to the buck Sexton Show. Honor and a privilege 30 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: to have you here with me. As always, I am 31 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: really enjoying watching this Trump administration flummocks the critics just 32 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: to drive them up the wall. I'm not going to 33 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: say that that's the one and only thing that I 34 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: need to keep me happy with this administration. That's not true. 35 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: We need policy success, we need victories beyond just the rhetorical. 36 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: But man, it is fun to watch them squirm while 37 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: Trump does things on the world stage, the place where 38 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: he's supposed to be the least a death right. We 39 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: were told, Okay, maybe he'll be good at infrastructure. Maybe 40 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: maybe he'll be good, a little bit of dealing here 41 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: and there. But foreign policy, that's the preserve of the fanciest, 42 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: smartest people, kind of people who work for Democrat administrations, 43 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: not Trump, the ruffian, the billion they're barbarian. Not possible 44 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: for him to get further with some of these US 45 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: interests and some of these global policy matters than previous administrations. 46 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: Certainly not in eighteen months as opposed to the eight 47 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: years of his predecessor. And yet here we are President 48 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: President Trump getting a lot of gratitude, a very warm 49 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: his administration, the folks that are over there, Ivanka, Jared 50 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: Manuchin and others, warm reception in Israel today. Here is 51 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: what the Prime Minister had to say about this embassy 52 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 1: opening Playcliff nine. Dear friends, what a glorious day. Remember 53 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: this moment. This is history. President Trump. By recognizing history, 54 00:03:53,440 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: you have made history. There you go making history. Let's 55 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: be honest. Not in year one, tech, it's year two. Now. 56 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: That's still really early, isn't it. It's still rather impressive, 57 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: and it's just the beginning, isn't it. Now. I will 58 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: get into some of the violence going on in cause 59 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: I will talk about that as well. Because it's not 60 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: like this is going on without there being a a 61 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: I shouldn't say a downside to it necessarily, it's just 62 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: a an opposite reaction, right, it doesn't have to be 63 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: this way. So I mean by it that the downside 64 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: doesn't come along with this decision. There is no reasonable 65 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: expectation that anyone should have that because the United States 66 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: moves its embassy. By the way, who is that really 67 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: a decision for for us and for the are Israeli hosts? 68 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: That's it. It really isn't, in fact something that we 69 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: have to take a worldwide proxy vote. We don't have 70 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: to ask everyone's opinion on this. And yet you get 71 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: the sense there's this consideration of this as though this 72 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: is a vote by committee instead of a bilateral issue, 73 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: which is really what it turns out to be, or 74 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: turns out that it is. A few things. I want 75 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 1: to get into the Gaza situation. What's going on with 76 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: these so called protests. I mean, yeah, there's some protests, 77 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: but there's some violence and yes, dare I say, some 78 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: terrorist activity going on as well, and that has led 79 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: to a response from the idea from Israeli forces that 80 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: has resulted in the depths of over fifty people. But 81 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: I first want to look at the policy side of this, 82 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: and just note that this is an issue among the 83 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: very first issues that I ever looked at as a 84 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: policy matter. In fact, I am in the swamp right now, 85 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: not far away from my first DC job, where I 86 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: spent my first time in DC working at a Midi 87 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: stink tank as a research intern for the Clinton era 88 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,559 Speaker 1: negotiator for the Arab Israeli peace process. So that takes 89 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: me back gosh, seventeen years, eighteen years something like that, 90 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: so I'm almost twenty years ago now, which, as I 91 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: say that out loud, it feels pretty crazy, but that 92 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: is the case. So this was an issue that I 93 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: went to very early on in my academic career, studied 94 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: in school, and I learned a few things, and this 95 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: will hopefully provide some context for discussion we're about to have. 96 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: I learned some things. One is that generally speaking in 97 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: this country on the issue of Israel and Palestine, it 98 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: quickly devolves into not, hey, how could we solve this? 99 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: Everyone pretends that they want to solve it, but very 100 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: quickly you see that there is a polarization that occurs 101 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 1: because people feel the need to just to take a side. 102 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: They take a side and the pro Palestinian left. I 103 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: am I kid you not. I almost physically bumped into 104 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: and I don't mean that it would have been an accident. 105 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: We were both in the coming out of the train. 106 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: I saw Linda Sarsore today at the train station here 107 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: in DC. I just walked right past her and we 108 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: were we were a foot away from each other. Said, oh, interesting, 109 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: speaking of the anti Israeli pro Palestinian left, you have 110 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: Linda star Sore in the house. Part of me was like, 111 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: it would be fun to try to engage, But you 112 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: know what, I give people their private space, even public people. 113 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: I don't I see someone in public. I'm never gonna heckle. 114 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: I'm not one of those. I'm just it's just not 115 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: who I am. Linda sars it was at least thought about. 116 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: I thought about it, right, it would have been Hey, 117 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: so why do you say all those terrible things? Just 118 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: curious you want to try to have a discussion about that. 119 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: But I'm sure profanity would have come my way and 120 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: why ruined her day? Ruined my morning? But you often 121 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: see that this gets turned into a highly politicized discussion 122 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: and so I tell you from the outset that I 123 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: want to solve the issue, but I also am allied 124 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: ideologically and otherwise with the Israeli state. So just to 125 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: be upfront about it doesn't mean I think everything Israel 126 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: does it's great. Doesn't mean that I don't think that 127 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: there's some difficulties on both sides that we could alleviate, 128 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: that we could do things to make less problematic. But 129 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: I just view right now, you have an Israeli state 130 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: that's trying to do the right thing, and that's trying 131 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: to live in peace and has achieved a tremendous amount 132 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: of prosperity. You have Palestinian people who are suffering, granted, 133 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: but you have a Palestinian leadership that's a disgrace. And 134 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: Hamas is a disgraceful organization. It's a terrorist organization. So 135 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: I side with civilization against the terrorists. That's just a 136 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: shorthand way of saying I'm I'm with the Israeli people 137 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: in the Israeli state against Hamas. I don't view Palestinians 138 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: and Hamas is one and the same. Though would also 139 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: like to help, I would like the situation to be improved, 140 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: and America to play a role in that for Israelis 141 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: and Palestinians, and so with that or for Palestinians specifically, 142 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: with that in mind, a few things here that I 143 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: think have not gotten nearly enough attention with today, and 144 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: I'll also come back to the Trump component of all this. 145 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: But this is not the end of the US as 146 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: an arbor in this. In Middy's piece, this is not, 147 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: in any way, I think, something that we can look 148 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: at as even a huge it's interesting, it's tremendously significant 149 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: as is symbol. But in terms of where this takes 150 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: us with the actual peace process, right, the very elusive 151 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: now Palestinian Israeli peace process we've been trying to achieve, 152 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: I usually think this will be better. And here's why. 153 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: There was never going to be an Israeli state. It 154 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: just wasn't going to happen that did not have as 155 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: its end state Jerusalem as its capital. So then you 156 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: start to wonder, what's with the not having embassies in 157 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 1: the capital if there is there is absolutely positively no 158 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: way that there would be an Israel that would allow 159 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: Jerusalem to not be its capital. Right, it was never 160 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: going to be traded away, It was never going to 161 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: be placed under just a generalized international mandate or all that. No, 162 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: that was never going to happen. So why go through 163 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: these games, Why why go through these motions of well, 164 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna wait on the embassy because we don't want 165 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: to make it seem like we've already decided. Well, they 166 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: have decided as they should, so it doesn't really change 167 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: very much in that regard. And people will talk about 168 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: a two state solution and that's been There are a 169 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: lot of their buzzwords. You'll hear about this and what 170 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: is it like? Un resolution? They'll talk about two four 171 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: two and three three eight and land for peace and 172 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: there's all. This has just been ongoing for decades and 173 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: decades now. No one's really gotten very far, although the 174 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: biggest improvement has just been the Israelis, that's right, building 175 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: a wall, building an actual physical border and creating security 176 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: for themselves and then saying okay, well now what And 177 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: the Palestinians, as they have done so many times, never 178 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: miss an opportunity, to miss an opportunity, and Mahmoudabas the 179 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: leader of the Palestinian authority, is a disgrace. And now 180 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: we get to finally see an administration coming along the 181 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: Trump administration that says this is just this is nonsense. 182 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: This holding off on the embassy. Why it's already US law. 183 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 1: What's the what's the point of pretending that there will 184 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: be any future where we don't put our embassy with 185 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: this Israeli state in Jerusalem. This isn't a carrot that 186 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: should be offered up right, This isn't an inducement to talks. 187 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: This is just reality. So I think that that's that's 188 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: very important, and it also undermines a narrative here. You see, 189 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: the narrative from Hamas is that the Israelis don't actually 190 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: even that the Jews do not actually have ties to Jerusalem. 191 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: They have they have no authentic relationship with Jerusalem. Their usurpers, 192 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: you know, all kinds of vitriol from Hamas specifically around 193 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: your Jerusalem. And this clearly undermines that narrative, right because 194 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: one of the problems that you have with the hardliners, 195 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: the radicals predominantly in Gaza, but there's some of the 196 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: West Bank too, is that they are told by their 197 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: leadership this is just temporary. This is just temporary, and 198 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: they don't mean it's temporary as in there'll be a 199 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: peace settlement. They mean the existence of the Jewish state 200 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: is temporary. So when the world's loan superpower says, actually, 201 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: our embassy with the Jewish State is going to go 202 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: in their capital of Jerusalem, it doesn't obliterate the notion 203 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: of a two state solution. Quite the contrary. And I'll 204 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: get into some of that in a moment, But what 205 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: it says is you've got to stop believing and telling. 206 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: In the case of the Hamas leadership, you gotta stop 207 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: believing these lies that this is going to change, that 208 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: there is a world in which a world that you 209 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: should be waiting for, in which there is no Jews state, 210 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: there is no Jewish presence in Jerusalem. It's just not 211 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: going to happen. Because as long as people believe and 212 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: they've been fed a diet of anti Semitism and anti 213 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: Israeli rhetoric for a very long time. As I tell you, 214 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: I had a it's kind of a personal asside. I 215 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: had a girlfriend many years ago who instead of meeting 216 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: it was her choice. She was in grad school and 217 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: instead of meeting me in I forget where I was 218 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: going to meet her in Italy somewhere for you know, 219 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: a romantic week away with vacation, and instead of going 220 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: with me, she decided to go interview the families of 221 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: suicide bombers in the West Bank for a school project. 222 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: It wasn't mandated, but she did it, and putting aside 223 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: for a moment the fact that I was disappointed that 224 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: that was not a good move for our relationship. When 225 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: she came back, she had a completely different view of 226 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: what the problem was over there, because you had women 227 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: who were celebrating the martyrdom of their children as suicide bombers. 228 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: It was as though they had you know, gotten into 229 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: Harvard or something but obviously dead now and killed a 230 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: bunch of people in the process. This was a good thing, 231 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: and that was and this was now stretching back, gosh, 232 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: a decade ago, but that was a that was a 233 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: moment that I always remember because Palestinian society had been 234 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: so poisoned by this rhetoric from Hamas and these extremists 235 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: and Palestinian Islamic Jihad and you know, the alax On 236 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: Marter brigades, all these these different groups and factions within 237 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: the groups and militants, and that this had now taken 238 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: over even in some of the homes of people as 239 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: normal in their minds. That's how poisoned they had become 240 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: against honestly any basic decency or humanity. So you have 241 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: to eradicate that. You have to take that narrative and 242 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: shatter it and get rid of it. It's bad for 243 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: the Palestinians, it's bad for it's bad for everyone. And 244 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: I think that moving the embassy works to that effect. 245 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: I do have to talk to you about Gaza. We've 246 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: got a lot here on this and also the Trump 247 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: administration getting credit for this. So we'll spend most of 248 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: this hour on this issue, and then next hour we'll 249 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: talk maybe a bit about where the latest is with Muller. 250 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: The White House still under siege, no surprise there, that's 251 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: like every day. And then I've got some interesting, an 252 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: interesting assortment of stories, including legalizing sports betting. Talk about that. 253 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: Karl Marx gets a shout out from teen Vogue, who 254 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: knew the crazy world. And if you stay through the 255 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: whole show, I've got a really heartwarming story about a 256 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: wedding that you wouldn't expect at the very end, So 257 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: I got a lot more comming teams, stay with me. 258 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: Jerusalem is still the capital of Israel and must remain 259 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: an undivided city accessible to all. Soon as I take office, 260 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: I will begin the process of moving the United States 261 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: ambassador to the city Israel as children as its capital. 262 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: I continue to say that Jerusalem will be the capital 263 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: of Israel, and I have said that before and I 264 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: will say it again. Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, 265 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: and it must remain undivided. It is time to officially 266 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Oh, previous presidents 267 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: have made this a major campaign promise they failed to deliver. 268 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: Today I am delivering, right. So the president there is 269 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: just doing what you would think any previous president that 270 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: we played the audio from right, we went through you know, Clinton, Bush, Obama, 271 00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: all of them. They're all saying that Jerusalem capital of Israel. Okay, 272 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: So why wouldn't we put our embassy where the capitalists? 273 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: What are we caving to? What sensibility are we trying 274 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: to plague Kate with this? And with Trump? The genius 275 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: and yeah, that's right, I said it. The genius of 276 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: some of his foreign policy moves thus far has been 277 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: to forget about the so called consensus, forget about what 278 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: the people that think they are also smart on these 279 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: issues have been telling each other about them for a 280 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: very long time without fixing anything, without even moving the 281 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: ball down field and say, what is the problem, Let's 282 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: do something about it. What are we saying about it? Well, 283 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: let's do something based on what we say. In this case, 284 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: that means if Jerusalem is the capital, that's where the 285 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: embassy will be. It's so simple. It's so simple, isn't it. 286 00:18:54,760 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: It's so straightforward. Trump takes kind of an comes raise 287 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: or approach to foreign policy. All Right, we got a 288 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: big problem with North Korea. Let's maximize our leverage. We'll 289 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: sit down and talk to North Korea, see if they'll 290 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: stop this crap. We've got an agreement with the State 291 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: of Israel that Jerusalem is their capital. We've said we 292 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: want to move our embassy there. Let's just move our 293 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: embassy there. There's no future in which we're not going 294 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: to put our embassy there, so why not just do 295 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: it now? And I think the messaging is very powerful 296 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: for why moving it is in fact the right, the 297 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: right thing to do now. David, if Fune will be 298 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: join us here in just a moment, he's a if 299 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: you listen to show you know, he's brilliant guy, editor 300 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: in chief of the Alga Miner knows the Israeli issue 301 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: backwards and forwards. So we'll talk to him about this 302 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: and then I've got a whole lot more stay tuned team. 303 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: Over a century ago, the Balford Declaration recognized the right 304 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: of the Jewish people to a national home in this land. 305 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: And exactly seventy years ago today, President Truman became the 306 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: first world leader to recognize the newborn Jewish States. Last December, 307 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: President Trump became the first world leader to recognize Jerusalem 308 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: as our capital. And today the United States of America 309 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: is opening its embassy right here in Jerusalem. Thank you, 310 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: Thank you President Trump for having the courage to keep 311 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: your promises. Thank you President Trump, and thank you all 312 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: for making the alliance between America and Israel stronger than ever. 313 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: Prime Minister net and Yahoo giving a heartfelt thanks to 314 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: the Trump administration in the United States of America today 315 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: because of what's going on with the embassy move We've 316 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: got somebody who can help us put all of this 317 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,479 Speaker 1: into a context as well as some of the violence 318 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: going on in Gaza. We have David iffun on the line. 319 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: He is the editor in chief of the Alga Minor, 320 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: which is the fastest growing Jewish newspaper in the country. David, 321 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: great to have you back, always a pleasure, but I 322 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: just wanted to hear from you what the significance is 323 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: in your mind in terms of US Israel relations of today. 324 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: It's hugely significant. Not so much it's so far as 325 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: you know what is being said in and of itself. 326 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: I think it's along been the case to Jerusalem has 327 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: been the capital of Israel, of course historically, and of 328 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: course that the Israel has always viewed it and as 329 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: an act of congress back in nineteen ninety five, the 330 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: American people have recognizing that as well. What's important today 331 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: is really the symbolism of it. It's the celebration of it. 332 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: It's the fact that the world newspapers and media outlets 333 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: and headlines across the world are featuring the unveiling of 334 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: this embassy, the public celebration and announcement, the comments from 335 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: Benjamin Niahoo, and it's hard to to to really get 336 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,959 Speaker 1: a cent of what this means to the Israeli people. 337 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: There's been some some imagery and of the streets of Jerusalem, 338 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: which are be deathed with flags thanking President Trump. Obviously 339 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: he played that clip. President Truman has a very special 340 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: place in the Israelian hearts as the first person to 341 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: recognize the Nason state of Israel while it was under siege, 342 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: and the Israeli certainly feels very strongly about President Trump. 343 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: I think, I mean a while ago he was he 344 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: was more popular there than in the United States, which 345 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 1: is one of only a couple of countries where he's 346 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: perceived in that way. Now, I'm sure if a Poe 347 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: were to be taking it would be even higher. They 348 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: feel recognized, they feel that justice has been said up 349 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: and there's a great deal of credit for Presidents Trump 350 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: for really taking historic stand on the bucking the the 351 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 1: political correctness and this uh sense of fear and and 352 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: uh and insensitivity to the ready perspective and things, and 353 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: coming out and saying that we're going to accept this publicly. 354 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: We're going to move our industry and make a statement, 355 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: and nobody's going to stop us. One thing that I 356 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: read today, David, and I don't think this is getting 357 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: nearly enough attention to press. You and I could both 358 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 1: surmise as to why that is. But there are some 359 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: knowledgeable onlookers analysts of this situation who are saying that 360 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: this is actually better for a perspective peace process. Could 361 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: you give me your sense of that. Look, that's certainly 362 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 1: the the the perspective. Uh, And that's the narrative that 363 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: we've been hearing from the White House, and I think 364 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: there is there are certainly elements of truth to that. 365 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is I mean the age 366 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: old discussions of peacemaking, especially when you're when you're dealing 367 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: with an adversary that that doesn't really have any intention 368 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: to split hairs with you, to to reason and to divide. 369 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,959 Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's very very clear that the Palestine 370 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,959 Speaker 1: in preference is the complete annig nation, eradication, and replacement 371 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: of the Jewish State of Israel as it stands today. 372 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: So when you're dealing with an adversary who has that 373 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: in goal, and the negotiating from a position of strength 374 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: actually leads to a greater opportunity for some form of concession, 375 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: the first thing that's necessary is for them to understand 376 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: that the enterprise known as Israel is not up for 377 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: negotiation and it's eradication and removal it's not on the horizon, 378 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: and when that becomes a fact point, you can have 379 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: a real discussion as long as there is some hope 380 00:24:54,760 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: that eventually, piece by piece, in the long term, the 381 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: entity called era can be out maneuvered and bypassed and overrun. 382 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: Then dependency and the willingness to make real confessions and 383 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: to really come to terms with it are going to 384 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: be a lot less and I think, by the way, 385 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: that applies to lots of international discussions. There are echoes 386 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: of that line of thinking in the North Korean discussions, 387 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: of the Koinian discussions, and the end of the day, 388 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 1: as with everything in life, you know, the adversaries are 389 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: going to push as hard as as they can until 390 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: they meet resistance. And when facts are established, and when 391 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: resistance and when lines in the sand are drawn and 392 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: they're maintained, that's when you can start to have a 393 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: conversation which doesn't involve the demise of either party. Now 394 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 1: I have to ask you, David, I'd have to ask 395 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: you about this violence in Gaza at the at the 396 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: border fence between Israel and Gaza. What do you make 397 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: of it? I mean, clearly, there's a there's an effort 398 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 1: you punch through the fence. You have these people referring 399 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: to this as a protest today in response to the 400 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: embassy move when we know that for six weeks now, 401 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: these so called protests that include molotov cocktails being thrown, 402 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: that include people carrying knives and chanting about how they 403 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: want to break into Israel and kill as many people 404 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: as possible. It's not really much of a protest, but 405 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: that has been going on here. What is behind this? 406 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: I mean, what do those showing up at the border 407 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 1: fence between Israel and Gaza think they will accomplish by 408 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: doing this. Look, at the end of the day, this 409 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: is just a repurposed suicide bombing campaign. It has all 410 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: of the same mechanics, mechanisms, motivations of your traditional terrorist 411 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: suicide bomber. I mean, these guys are being handed weaponry, 412 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: in some cases explosive to being sent down to the border. 413 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: They know what the result is going to be. They know, 414 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: and Hamas knows. And the recent studies the Mayor I 415 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: mean Intelligence Center that studied many of the recent counties 416 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: found that the vast majority of them were actually card 417 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: carrying members of terrorist groups. Today we published details of 418 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: a report that was put together by a group of 419 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: very very senior military people out in Europe headed by 420 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: Kindel Richard Camp, who is ahead of British forces in Afghanistan, 421 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: and a number of other very very senior military officials 422 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 1: who described this as an orchestrated military terrorist campaign by 423 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: the Hamas in Ghaza. But you know, that's something that 424 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: we've come to expect from Hamas. At the end of 425 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: the day, they are cut from the same cloth as 426 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: al Qaeda and as ISIS, and as other various sort 427 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: of barbaric terrorist groups that are across the globe. What 428 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: is most disturbing though, is the way that major media 429 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: outlets that are supposed to have some kind of journalistic 430 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: guidelines or or benchmarks theoretical objectivity. I like to call it, yeah, 431 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: theoretical objectivity. So we're seeing the Huffington Post. I don't 432 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: know if they have the headlines still up now right, 433 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: but they had it a couple of hours ago that 434 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: the headline with embassy massacre. Encourage your listeners to go 435 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: and to check their website dictionary and see what the 436 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: word massaca means. That is actually a blood libel to 437 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: accuse Israel of a sovereign state of wantingly massacring unarmed 438 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: and defenses civilians from And this is from a major 439 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: Western media outlet. I don't know if it's still owned 440 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: by AOL or Time One or wherever it is. These 441 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: a major US company, You've got to have some sentlance 442 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: of responsibility. It's it's outrageous how the media, how the 443 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: major media outlets in the United States, certainly in Europe. 444 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: I mean, look at the b you see today and 445 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: I figured out and all of the nature the Afton 446 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: Blad Swedish media ads. I mean, they're leading on this 447 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: thing with the Hamus narrative that they have swallowed Tookla Center. 448 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: David Iffun is the editor in chief of the Alga Minor, 449 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: largest Jewish or fastest growing Jewish newspaper in the country. 450 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: You should check it out Alga Minor dot com. David. 451 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: Always great to have you, man, and a good day 452 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. Today. Always a pleasure book. Absolutely, team, 453 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: We're rolling it a quick one. I've got a lot 454 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: more for you coming back in just a moment. One 455 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: thing I have to know it is the similarity between 456 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: the way the media reports on the so called protests 457 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: at the Israel gaza order and the way that some 458 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: protest movements in this country are described. Right, If you 459 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: have a large gathering and some people have placards, some 460 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: people have posters that they're walking around with slogans or chanting, 461 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: and there is also a group within that group that 462 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: is engaged in violence. Do you call it? Do you 463 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: call it a mostly peaceful protests or do you focus 464 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: on the violent actors? Right? You see this all the 465 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: time with the left in this country, whether it's Antifa 466 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: or Black Lives Matter or any number of political movements, 467 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: where there are some people who are violent, but then 468 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: there's this bigger group that's not engaged in violence. I'm 469 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: talking about the specific event, and they'll call it a 470 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: mostly peaceful protest. I mean Ferguson where buildings were burning down, 471 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: it was a mostly peaceful protest. These thousands and thousands 472 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: of Palestinians who have been gathered for six weeks at 473 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: the border with Israel are Yeah, they're engaged in protests, right, 474 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: that's part of it. But they're also engaged in a 475 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: form of it's kind of a passive assault. I mean, 476 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what you really They're walking and walking 477 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: and daring the authorities to actually, in this case, the 478 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: Israeli is right the border patrol or the military to 479 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: do something about them. They're trying to run through the 480 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: fence or get get beyond the fence and get into 481 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: israel properties. Ralis aren't going to allow that. At some point, 482 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: the States mandates have to be enforced with force or 483 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: else they cease to exist. And that's what they're testing here, right. 484 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: They do this through a form of a kind of 485 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: aggressive activism. But then on top of that, they're the 486 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: people that are throwing molotov cocktails, which can kill people, right, 487 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: that's lethal. Throwing rocks a favorite of so called Palestinian protesters. 488 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: Someone throws a rock at me, and it's big enough, 489 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: and there's enough of them, I gotta think long and 490 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: hard of it whether I'm gonna draw my firearm and 491 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,239 Speaker 1: draw it down on them, because if I get hit 492 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: in the head with that rock, I could die. I 493 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: could get knocked out. Then they come over and take 494 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: my gun and shoot me. I'm not gonna sit there 495 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: and get pelted with rocks. I don't have a great arm. 496 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: But if I threw a pretty good sized rock at 497 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: somebody and it hit them in the head, that's gonna 498 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: be lights out for them. So you know, there's no all. 499 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: They're just throwing rocks. They're just throwing rocks. That's a 500 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: big deal. Actually, would you say they're just punch Would 501 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: you rather have somebody throw a big piece of concrete 502 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: at you or take a swing at you, throw a 503 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: punch at you. I might actually take the punch over 504 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: the piece of concrete. But if a bunch of people 505 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: try to punch me and I had a firearm on me, 506 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: and I felt like my life was in danger, I 507 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: would probably draw it down. Many you are familiar with 508 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: the often taught rule about twenty feet. How quickly can 509 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: you actually get to your firearm? If someone has an 510 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: edged or even blunt weapon and they come at you, 511 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: if they're within twenty feet, there's a very good chance 512 00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: they're now know a lot of you're like buck, I'm 513 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: much asked with that, But even folks with some training, 514 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: very unlikely they'd be able to get. If they're talking 515 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: about a side arm, Now get to their side arm, 516 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: draw their side arm, and fire it, or they could 517 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: be either stabbed or hit. Even if you get the 518 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: rounds off that person, the attackers for momentum and adrenaline 519 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: may allow them to complete the attack even after you've 520 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: gotten the shot off. I remember, especially if you've got 521 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: like a nine millimeter, it's probably gonna take more than 522 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: one round. You're going for center mass, might take a 523 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: few rounds. So you know, it's not as easy as 524 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: just well, you've got people with guns that are manning 525 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: this border fence, and then you've got a bunch of 526 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: innocent civilians who just want to protest. That's not what's 527 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: happening here. I've never seen this before. This is new. Actually, 528 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: fire kites are being deployed. So they have these kites 529 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: that they set on fire obviously, and then they try 530 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: to fly them over the fence, you know, catch a 531 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: gust of wind, and then have them land in Israelis 532 00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: to basically start field fires or forest fires. As I said, 533 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: incendiary devices. That's a Molotov cocktail. That's something else they've 534 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: been throwing. People are showing up with knives saying they 535 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: want to stab Israelis. That they're chanting about how they 536 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: want to march all the way to Jerusalem. This isn't 537 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: peaceful protest, you know, this is this is like a 538 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 1: mob marching up to a police officer and all throwing 539 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: rocks at him. What's that cops supposed to do? Just 540 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: keep getting pelt with rocks. Oh, it's not it's non 541 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: lethal force they're using. Actually it's not true. So you know, 542 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: this is where you're seeing the media breakdown between how 543 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: they view That's amazing. You think a CNN, for example, 544 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: takes a very pro Palestinian point of view, and people 545 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,800 Speaker 1: would say, oh, why is that. Oh, that's right. CNN 546 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: makes I believe most of it certainly makes a lot 547 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: of its money in the international market. That's why they 548 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: can have all these boring shows that nobody watches on 549 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 1: during the day and the ratings are garbage, and nobody 550 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: doesn't really matter all that much because CNN as an 551 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: organization makes a ton of money because in a lot 552 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: of countries it's considered, you know, this is the American 553 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,839 Speaker 1: cable news channel of record, and so they'll just beam 554 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: it all over the world, so you know you've seen 555 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: international and it's an airports everywhere. It's kind of a 556 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: background channel, right for in a lot of countries, CNN 557 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: is the the airport or the elevator music of the 558 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 1: news industry. It's just kind of there and you can 559 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: kind of watch it or kind of not watch it. 560 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: But they I think that's why they take this particularly 561 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: pro Palestinian viewpoint a lot of things, and certainly with 562 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: the Trump administration, and I didn't get into that as 563 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,439 Speaker 1: much this hour, but they view this as because Trump 564 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 1: did it, it has to be bad, breaking with tradition, 565 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: I think was the headline I saw I saw earlier today. 566 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: The Trump administration breaks with tradition. Oh no, don't break 567 00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,479 Speaker 1: with tradition, the tradition that has not exactly it worked 568 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: out so well considering that the peace process under the 569 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,919 Speaker 1: Obama administration, the Israeli Palestinian peace process, did not get 570 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 1: to first base. I think you could argue that Obama 571 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: didn't even get up to the plate, didn't even get 572 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: a chance to bat because his administration was so inept 573 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: in bringing together the Israeli side with the Palestinian side 574 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 1: of that negotiation. So they have no wisdom to share here. 575 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: They have no perch from which they can cast aspersions 576 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: on what Trump is doing. And I think we will 577 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 1: see that this was a spark for discussions or if not, 578 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: guess what, at least they tried at least they did something. 579 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: They took action instead of sitting around thinking that the 580 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: status quo was what we want, because it is clearly not. 581 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 1: I want to switch gears because I know there's been 582 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: a lot of talk about what's going on with the 583 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: embassy today, and let's focus on some things here at home, 584 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 1: Immigration coming up in the next hour and all so 585 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: SNL and political community today, we'll get into that and 586 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: much more. Stay with me. So, my family has a 587 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: French bulldog. Miss Molly has a pitbullboxer mix. But whether 588 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: you've got a little pup or a big one, you 589 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: know that they can dig. And if they've got a 590 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: lot of energy, if you've kept them cooped up for 591 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 1: part of the day and then they get outside, guess what, 592 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: some of them start digging and digging, and then they 593 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,399 Speaker 1: can get out, and that can be dangerous, right get 594 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: out of the roadway, get out in the neighborhood. And 595 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden you're looking for your dog 596 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 1: or predators can get inside your fence.

This is the Buck Sexton Show. Analysts, 610 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: Remember Sexton, No, just tell me what do you need 611 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: for this to all go away? A resignation here, right? 612 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: Being president is like doing porn. Once you do it, 613 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: it's hard to do anything else. He said, My poll 614 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: numbers are finally up. And speaking of polls being up, okay, mommy, 615 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 1: we'll always have shock week. I solve North and South Korea. 616 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,399 Speaker 1: Why can I save us? Sorry, Donald, it's too late 617 00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: for that. I know you don't believe in climate change, 618 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: but a storm's a common baby. I've never been so 619 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: scared and so Horny at the same time. So that 620 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: was from one of the cold opens and welcome back 621 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 1: to the Buck Saxons show. One are the cold opens 622 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 1: from Saturday Night Live recently. Now maybe saying Buck, there's 623 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: big policy matters to talk about. There's all kinds of well, 624 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: he spent the last hour in Israel in the embassy 625 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: move I want to look at the culture for a 626 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 1: few minutes here and what's going on. It has been 627 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 1: my contention on this show for quite some time, and 628 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: I believe it to be increasingly true and obvious that 629 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 1: culture is now a casualty of I'm sorry, comedy is 630 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: now well. Actually both of those things are true, but 631 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: comedy is a casualty of the left that progressive ideology 632 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: and intersectional politics are making it increasingly impossible to actually 633 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 1: be funny without risk to your career, ear to your reputation. 634 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 1: But also it has replaced comedy with propaganda. Right, Propaganda 635 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: can be funny, Propaganda can sometimes be you know, clever, humorous, 636 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: but it's for a purpose that you're having this stuff 637 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 1: told to you. It is meant to bring about a 638 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: certain mindset, to change people's positions on things. And what 639 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: you see from all the mainstream comedy shows these days, 640 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 1: with a few exceptions, but all the big platforms that 641 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: the late shows, SNL is just atrocious. It's not funny. 642 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:49,760 Speaker 1: It's the same trumpet arrangement syndrome, snide commentary that dresses 643 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: dresses itself up as comedy somewhat, but is certainly not 644 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 1: actually first and foremost concerned with making people laugh. And 645 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: it's gotten so bad that I see even Vice, which 646 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:05,240 Speaker 1: is a left wing hipster media organization, published a piece 647 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 1: on how these cold opens from SNL are just virtue 648 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: signaling political screeds from the left. They're not funny, they're elitists, 649 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:22,360 Speaker 1: they're snide, they're nasty, and it just goes to show 650 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 1: you how much Trump has rattled the other side, that 651 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:28,799 Speaker 1: this is what they have to do week in, week out. 652 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: They all they have all these different staff writers. They're 653 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: supposed to come up with with jokes that will make 654 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: the American people laugh. And I think there's a real 655 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 1: loss here because maybe it's just cowardice, right, they have 656 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: to make fun of Trump or else they're they worried 657 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 1: that they'll lose their privileged positions. They have to make 658 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:51,719 Speaker 1: fun of conservatives, of white Christian males of the right 659 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 1: in general, because if they don't, then they're not woke enough, 660 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 1: you know. So there's a social pressure that comes into it. 661 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: But my big thing is they're just not funny. And 662 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:08,920 Speaker 1: I find it so rare to actually have comedy that 663 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 1: is in, you know, wide circulation, that has a big platform. 664 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,839 Speaker 1: I'm sure, Look, I'm sure they're a great stand up 665 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: people here that I saw stand up myself in New 666 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: York a couple of months ago. And you know, it 667 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,719 Speaker 1: was it was good. It wasn't overly political. It's a 668 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: little political. Look, I'm gonna get a little political commentary. 669 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: I just think that there's a laziness that's at the 670 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,959 Speaker 1: heart of so much of the commentary we're seeing these days. 671 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,920 Speaker 1: And look, I used to like to trune into SNL 672 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: sometimes in the Dana Carvey Mike Myers age. You know, 673 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 1: you'd throw it on and there was some really good 674 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,400 Speaker 1: to Chris Farley, I mean, and it was funny. And 675 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,279 Speaker 1: you think back to the sketches that they would do, 676 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 1: and they weren't meant to make one side of the 677 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,319 Speaker 1: political spectrum feel good about themselves and make the other 678 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,279 Speaker 1: side feel bad about themselves. It was just meant to 679 00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 1: make people laugh. You know, Wayne's World Celebrity Jeopardy another example, 680 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 1: just meant to make me That's one of my favorites. 681 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 1: Meant to make people laugh. Where's the equivalent today? You 682 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 1: just don't see it, and it's it's a function in 683 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 1: large part of the way the left does business now. 684 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 1: I do blame the Democrat Party. I blame progressive ideology. 685 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 1: I blame the Twitter outrage mobs, these newfound theories of 686 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 1: intersectionality and the victimology that is so pervasive and progressive thought. Right, 687 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,120 Speaker 1: who's the biggest victim? That's the first thing you have 688 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,800 Speaker 1: to determine before you can have any discussion about anything, 689 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,319 Speaker 1: never mind make jokes. And I was actually happy to 690 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 1: see that Jerry Seinfeld when he was talking to David Letterman. 691 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 1: By the way, I've never thought Letterman was funny. And 692 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,319 Speaker 1: everyone I ever know who's been around the guy says 693 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 1: he's mean. So why you know, he's just a construct 694 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 1: of the legacy media. There's just so much there are constructs, right, 695 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 1: They're the equivalent in comedy or in news of pop 696 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 1: stars right in sync. I was gonna say, justin Bieber, Gosh, 697 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm losing him getting old? What's the guys, who's the 698 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,320 Speaker 1: one who's married, dear Jessica whatever her name is, instead 699 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 1: of me? Damn it, Timberlake, thank you justin Timberlake. Yeah, 700 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 1: he's talented. But the rest of those guys, Yeah, they 701 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,759 Speaker 1: were just kind of part of a machine, right Were 702 00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 1: they so great? Were they so so talented? They kind 703 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,440 Speaker 1: of got lucky. They're part of a machine. You have 704 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 1: that in comedy too. Some of the right guys or 705 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: some guys are just in the right place at the 706 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 1: right time. You're having a news for sure. What's the 707 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,920 Speaker 1: difference see in like one anchor and another over at CNN. 708 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how much Zucker and the executives like them. 709 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,479 Speaker 1: That's really it not much of a difference in skill set, 710 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,759 Speaker 1: and certainly not much of a difference in skill set 711 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,240 Speaker 1: with people that are doing like, you know, local news 712 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,560 Speaker 1: in Peoria. I mean, it's all the same thing, right, 713 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 1: So but I look at this and I think Letterman, Okay, 714 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I just go on my little rants. I 715 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,439 Speaker 1: just don't like I've tried people like you're from New York, Buck, 716 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 1: I remember was based or should no, Letterman, It's just 717 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: not funny. Top ten lists are usually cheesy. You didn't 718 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 1: but I'm done. I mean the whole thing. It's just 719 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 1: not good at least in the last the last ten 720 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:11,799 Speaker 1: years on air. I can't speak to what it was like, 721 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,240 Speaker 1: you know, earlier on but Seinfeld was speaking to Letterman 722 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,880 Speaker 1: and this issue came up. Play clip too. Do you 723 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,400 Speaker 1: do Trump stuff when you go out? No, No, it 724 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 1: doesn't interest me. I do a lot of raisin stuff. 725 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 1: What raisins. I have a lot of raisin material because 726 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 1: you know, you have the sun Made company, and then 727 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,920 Speaker 1: you have the raisin at people. That's right, and you're 728 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:39,920 Speaker 1: gonna go with the Sun Made people. Well, I just 729 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,480 Speaker 1: think it's interesting that after eighty years, sun Made finally went, hey, 730 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 1: why don't we put some chocolate on it? Like, imagine 731 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:53,239 Speaker 1: not thinking of that for eighty years. Now. I like 732 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,080 Speaker 1: this and for a number of reasons. One is it 733 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 1: you notice how Seinfeld he doesn't just deflect on that. 734 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:03,920 Speaker 1: You can tell why antagonize half of your perspective audience. 735 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:06,799 Speaker 1: It's one thing for me. And by the way, I 736 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,719 Speaker 1: want Democrats to listen to this show. I think I'll 737 00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,279 Speaker 1: make converts out of them over time, and I want 738 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,799 Speaker 1: smart democrats to write to me in good faith and 739 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,840 Speaker 1: say you're wrong on this because of this, or I 740 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,399 Speaker 1: disagree with you. I'm always trying to learn more too. 741 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 1: One of my favorite things about what I do is 742 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 1: that it is my mandate to learn more, to get 743 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,879 Speaker 1: smarter on everything that I talk to you about each 744 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:30,799 Speaker 1: and every time I come to this microphone, so that 745 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 1: I'm a better host. So this is what it pushes 746 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,719 Speaker 1: me to keep reading and writing and diving into more 747 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 1: books and making the time to do more research. And 748 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:44,960 Speaker 1: I love that part of what I do. But you know, 749 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 1: I also understand that you're generally going to have a 750 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,720 Speaker 1: right of center audience. Listen to a conservative talk radio host. 751 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 1: If I were in comedy, I would want everybody to listen. 752 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,880 Speaker 1: I'd want to make everyone laugh as much as humanly possible. 753 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 1: But they abandoned that as a mission. Even they're really 754 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,799 Speaker 1: just trying to make the left laugh. And you see 755 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 1: this with the shows that are getting greenlit on Netflix 756 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:14,000 Speaker 1: and these other platforms. I've been telling you we are 757 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:19,760 Speaker 1: behind on the digital platforms we are getting. We're gonna 758 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 1: wake up and the younger generation is going to be 759 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:28,160 Speaker 1: so much more interested in the news programming on YouTube 760 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:32,359 Speaker 1: and Facebook Live and Netflix and Amazon everything than they 761 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 1: are in Like the old stagyrmal news anchor on CBS, 762 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,479 Speaker 1: and I could pay ten million dollars a year, even 763 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,239 Speaker 1: though you could pay somebody about a tenth of that, 764 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 1: and they'd be just as good and super excited for 765 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,480 Speaker 1: the job. I mean, that's all going away, right. This 766 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 1: is why you have a lot of the big names 767 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:55,799 Speaker 1: in media, in news media at the legacy networks, they're 768 00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,919 Speaker 1: really so insecure because I think they know that one 769 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 1: they're just lucky, but they're so lucky that to just 770 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 1: get through the day they have to think that there's 771 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 1: actually something special about them. But two, their whole business 772 00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:14,399 Speaker 1: model is disappearing. The notion of fight it out internally 773 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:19,800 Speaker 1: to get some very rarefied news anchor job one of 774 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 1: these places. It's just not it's just not people say, oh, 775 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,400 Speaker 1: bucking oh, it's just because you're not gonna do that. 776 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,480 Speaker 1: It's not going to exist anymore it, trust me, in 777 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,879 Speaker 1: twenty years, none of my peers, and you know who 778 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:31,719 Speaker 1: all the good conservatives are right now, I have a 779 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 1: lot of them on the show. None of my peers 780 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:35,960 Speaker 1: who are going to be big in the commentary and 781 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,279 Speaker 1: news business are going to be vying for like an 782 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 1: ABC news position. It's just not reality. Maybe there'll be 783 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 1: some digital version of it, but there's not going to 784 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,560 Speaker 1: be some channel that has this huge built in advantage 785 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 1: of advertising changing. It's all changing. Comedy, I think is 786 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,239 Speaker 1: right for disruption. I mean, I'm not just here to 787 00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: bemoan this. We need better platforms for comedy in general, 788 00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:06,640 Speaker 1: and yes conservative comedy too, but but as a more 789 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 1: broad spectrum thing, I just want to see people that 790 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,359 Speaker 1: try to make people laugh. It's so, you know, there's 791 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,239 Speaker 1: all these studies, but how it's good for you. And 792 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 1: it's one of the reason I try to joke around 793 00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 1: here as much as I can on this show. Like 794 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,319 Speaker 1: I'm not a comedian, I know that, but I do 795 00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,319 Speaker 1: try to. If I can't make you laugh, at least 796 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,200 Speaker 1: I'll make myself laugh over the course of the show. 797 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,920 Speaker 1: But this is something that it's just being stripped from 798 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 1: our from our culture. It really is. We are watching 799 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 1: the death of comedy and slow motion because of progressives. 800 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,840 Speaker 1: Because and they're even starting to pick up on this. 801 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:44,319 Speaker 1: No jokes are funny. Everything is offensive except you know, 802 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:50,080 Speaker 1: you have the the the additive effect of or the 803 00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,440 Speaker 1: double whammy. That's what I was trying to think of of. 804 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 1: You know, you can't make any jokes unless they're about conservatives, 805 00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 1: and then you can make all of your jokes as 806 00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 1: mean as you want. That's the way that we're supposed 807 00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:03,399 Speaker 1: to go forward. Now it's just crazy. You know, I'm 808 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:04,920 Speaker 1: really tired of it. I feel like a lot of 809 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 1: you are too, by the way, because I do take 810 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:11,480 Speaker 1: your suggestions, folks, those who call in, those are who 811 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,040 Speaker 1: write me. I did over the course the week and 812 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,319 Speaker 1: watch a few episodes of Last Man Standing, and it 813 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,920 Speaker 1: was a revelation. I'm like, oh, look at this, a 814 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 1: show about a family in America with a guy who's 815 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,960 Speaker 1: being in a you know, kind of a red blooded 816 00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,920 Speaker 1: as salt of the earth guy. He's got a wife 817 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,680 Speaker 1: and three daughters and they're just going through life. And 818 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:35,239 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be funny. That's it doesn't have some 819 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 1: huge clawber you over the head. Agenda. Isn't supposed to 820 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,719 Speaker 1: be making you change the way you view this or 821 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:45,560 Speaker 1: that contentious social issue. It's just, hey, here's a show. 822 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:50,080 Speaker 1: Let's like stuff that everyone deals with whatever race, whatever creed, 823 00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,480 Speaker 1: whatever color, whatever, you know, all of us deal with 824 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:57,359 Speaker 1: these things. And I think that there's there's so much 825 00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 1: more room for this now because we see the way 826 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,080 Speaker 1: all of this is going. But last man's standing was good. 827 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,439 Speaker 1: I think it's coming back too, which is I'm happy 828 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 1: about that. But my only thing, and this is just 829 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,439 Speaker 1: a stylistic issue, and some of you are probably gonna 830 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:11,759 Speaker 1: be mad at me for that, but that's all right. 831 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 1: I don't like laugh tracks. They have them the Big 832 00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:16,760 Speaker 1: Bang Theory. They have a lot of these big shows. 833 00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:21,919 Speaker 1: Still I prefer the just the comedy and you kind 834 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,759 Speaker 1: of cut back and forth different scenes. I don't like 835 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:26,920 Speaker 1: laugh tracks. It's just the thing for me. I know, 836 00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 1: I'm you know. I also don't like when people talk 837 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:33,200 Speaker 1: in the quiet car on amtrack, which happened recently and 838 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,880 Speaker 1: I almost lost my coal. Because we're not barbarians. The 839 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:41,120 Speaker 1: quiet car is sacred. Eight four four nine eight two 840 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,279 Speaker 1: five team, if you want to chat eight four four 841 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,799 Speaker 1: nine hundred buck, maybe we'll talk about, Well, there's some 842 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:51,360 Speaker 1: fun stuff from the campus reform and Obama's Nobel Prize. Also, 843 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,759 Speaker 1: what the latest on immigration? We've got the gosh, the 844 00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,319 Speaker 1: media is still dug in trying to get as much 845 00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:04,200 Speaker 1: mileage as possible out of this story about the bad 846 00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:10,239 Speaker 1: comment made about John McCain. Maybe we'll get into some 847 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,280 Speaker 1: of that. And like I said, Carl marks two hundred 848 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:16,480 Speaker 1: year anniversary, Like there's a teen magazine that read dot 849 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,560 Speaker 1: com marks.

Right, just a stupid, insensitive, 882 00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:18,200 Speaker 1: disrespectful thing to say. But my understanding was that, and 883 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,640 Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but that she had called the 884 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:24,399 Speaker 1: McCain family apologized to them, and yet this is still 885 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,839 Speaker 1: a story. I was in the gym today here, I know, right, 886 00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: fighting the dad bod. It's a losing battle. I was 887 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,440 Speaker 1: in the gym today here in DC and they had 888 00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:35,799 Speaker 1: MSNBC on a locker room. First of all, there should 889 00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,560 Speaker 1: be no TV's in locker room. Second of all, why 890 00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,880 Speaker 1: is it MSNBC. Are they just trying to get me 891 00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 1: angry before I work out? I mean, maybe that's some 892 00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,440 Speaker 1: form of motivation, but this is all a total aside. 893 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,120 Speaker 1: But they're still trying to make this a a story, 894 00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,799 Speaker 1: a continuing story. I mean, we we covered this a 895 00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,799 Speaker 1: bit last week. Today, raw Shaw, who we've had here 896 00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,919 Speaker 1: on the show, took over the White House Press docker 897 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:05,239 Speaker 1: Harry podium from Sarah Sanders. She was out for today. 898 00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:08,520 Speaker 1: I don't know why, and Roj had to just deal 899 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,360 Speaker 1: with just one question after another. Remember we got the 900 00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,840 Speaker 1: embassy move today, still the whole Mueller probe, all that 901 00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:19,320 Speaker 1: situation going on, big immigration issues to deal with, reports 902 00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,440 Speaker 1: out that Trump wants a budget deal before the August 903 00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,960 Speaker 1: reassessed me, all kinds of stuff to really have the 904 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,920 Speaker 1: media synk their teeth into and what do they really 905 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,040 Speaker 1: want to talk about? How mean somebody in the White 906 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:34,000 Speaker 1: House was, and that's what they want to talk about 907 00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:38,239 Speaker 1: play eleven. Senator Lindsey Graham said, I wish somebody from 908 00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,600 Speaker 1: the White House would tell the country that what Kelly 909 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:44,480 Speaker 1: Sadler said was inappropriate, that that's not how we are 910 00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 1: as a Trump administration. Why not just apologize? Kelly Sadler 911 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,440 Speaker 1: told Megan McCain that she would apologize publicly, and that 912 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,880 Speaker 1: has not yet happened. Why has that not happened, she explains, 913 00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:59,160 Speaker 1: You're always being addressed internally. She is still an employee 914 00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:00,840 Speaker 1: here at the White House. She came to work today. 915 00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:05,239 Speaker 1: Why had she publicly apologized, as she told Medima came 916 00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,560 Speaker 1: that she traded. Kelly Sadler is a little bit of 917 00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:09,479 Speaker 1: a victim here. Do you agree that she's a little 918 00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,439 Speaker 1: bit of a victim here? And why is there any 919 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,720 Speaker 1: environment where that conveying that thought would be viewed as appropriate? 920 00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:16,800 Speaker 1: He said? It is dealt with internally. Has it anything 921 00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,480 Speaker 1: been dealt with since last week when she called the family? 922 00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:22,919 Speaker 1: We're leading the meeting where Kelly Sadler said what she said, 923 00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:26,080 Speaker 1: How did it strike you? Did you find to being inappropriate? 924 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,600 Speaker 1: And how did what was the reaction in the room? 925 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:33,279 Speaker 1: And that's that's just a smattering, that's just a selection 926 00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,560 Speaker 1: of the questions asked on this issue. A few things 927 00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:41,000 Speaker 1: on this They want her fire. The media will not 928 00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,960 Speaker 1: be satisfied until she's fired. Oh but keep this in 929 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,920 Speaker 1: mind too, not only do they want her fired once 930 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,239 Speaker 1: they get their way, if they get which they won't, 931 00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,680 Speaker 1: I think with this White House. And remember I don't, 932 00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form think anything other than 933 00:56:55,120 --> 00:57:02,359 Speaker 1: that comment was completely unacceptable. But she apologized. She hasn't 934 00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,600 Speaker 1: publicly apologized, but maybe that's because the media keeps pushing 935 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:09,200 Speaker 1: the issue with a very clear agenda. I think of 936 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,960 Speaker 1: she needs to be fired for the comment to be fired. 937 00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,320 Speaker 1: You know this is this is also a moment where 938 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,800 Speaker 1: I have to wonder, and they they will not be 939 00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,120 Speaker 1: satisfied even if she has fired, right then then it 940 00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:26,320 Speaker 1: will be yet another person fired for there for being 941 00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,560 Speaker 1: you know, grotesque and terrible in this White House, and 942 00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 1: so it won't stop the stories. But another thing, and 943 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 1: this just comes from yeah, I was a CIA guy, 944 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,040 Speaker 1: So discretion something that I kind of have a little 945 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:37,520 Speaker 1: bit of a better understanding of than a lot of 946 00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:42,480 Speaker 1: other folks, but especially in the media. Um, who would 947 00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's hurtful for this for the family, 948 00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,640 Speaker 1: for the McCain family to hear this. It's just hurtful 949 00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:52,000 Speaker 1: all around to spread this out there in the media. 950 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,439 Speaker 1: Who is the turn Coode in that meeting that told 951 00:57:54,480 --> 00:58:07,880 Speaker 1: everybody about this terrible comment. He's back with you now 952 00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,760 Speaker 1: because when it comes to the fight for truth, the 953 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:16,360 Speaker 1: fuck never stops. Big decision came down from the Supreme 954 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:21,840 Speaker 1: Court earlier today. It's gonna change what is legal and 955 00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,840 Speaker 1: what is not what it comes to betting on sports. 956 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,440 Speaker 1: I'm not somebody who watches a whole lot of professional sports, 957 00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,880 Speaker 1: but I do have interest in the government. It's regulation 958 00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:35,000 Speaker 1: and it's mandates when it comes to what is acceptable 959 00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:37,920 Speaker 1: and unacceptable commerce. We have somebody, though, who can answer 960 00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,400 Speaker 1: all these things for us and bring it all together 961 00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,880 Speaker 1: and make some sense of whether you can actually now 962 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,680 Speaker 1: go and bet on the I was gonna say the 963 00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,880 Speaker 1: Crimson Tide or roll Tide or I don't know. I 964 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,360 Speaker 1: don't know any of college sports at all. Emily Campanio 965 00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,600 Speaker 1: is with us. Yeah, she knows. Emily Campanio is with it. 966 00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:57,320 Speaker 1: She's a former federal attorney, also a legal analyst and 967 00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:01,200 Speaker 1: sports business analyst. Emily, great to have you back, Thanks 968 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,880 Speaker 1: so much. But how are you all right to tell 969 00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:07,000 Speaker 1: me about this decision today? First of all, what led 970 00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:11,080 Speaker 1: to this, right, What led to this is the fact 971 00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:15,760 Speaker 1: that in nineteen ninety two a law was passed that 972 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:21,040 Speaker 1: effectively prohibited states from enacting their own legislation to create 973 00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:24,040 Speaker 1: sports betting. Right A, New Jersey kept trying to get 974 00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:28,280 Speaker 1: around it, and so eventually the NCAA sued New Jersey 975 00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,080 Speaker 1: for trying to get around it. So in turn, New 976 00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:34,640 Speaker 1: Jersey sued back and said, this nineteen ninety two law 977 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:39,040 Speaker 1: is unconstitutional, and finally the Supreme Court agreed to hear it. 978 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,080 Speaker 1: And so what it boils down to is the fact 979 00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,560 Speaker 1: that if the if Congress had passed a law that 980 00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:48,120 Speaker 1: said we federally prohibit sports betting, then that would have 981 00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:52,160 Speaker 1: been constitutional. But instead the law said we prohibit states 982 00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,880 Speaker 1: from passing laws to that effect, and as we know, 983 00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:59,880 Speaker 1: that is prohibited via the commandeering exception in the Tenth Amendment. 984 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,400 Speaker 1: And so that is why the Supreme Court struck it 985 01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:05,760 Speaker 1: down today. So essentially it opens the doors for states 986 01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:09,560 Speaker 1: to set their own laws to regulate and execute sports 987 01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:14,520 Speaker 1: betting within their own borders. Now, under this law, before today, right, 988 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,720 Speaker 1: the situation was that you could I'm not somebody who 989 01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:19,760 Speaker 1: does any sports gambling because I don't watch much of 990 01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,600 Speaker 1: the way of sports, as you know, Emily. But you 991 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:24,880 Speaker 1: could place a bet right, but you would have to 992 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:29,000 Speaker 1: call Las Vegas or something wasn't there. So you could 993 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:30,320 Speaker 1: be in a state, but you'd have to call a 994 01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,600 Speaker 1: place and they put the bet for you there. How 995 01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:37,560 Speaker 1: did that work? Right? Essentially, that original law carved out exceptions, 996 01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:42,080 Speaker 1: And here's the irony is that it actually carved out 997 01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:45,080 Speaker 1: an exception for New Jersey at the time also, and 998 01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:48,479 Speaker 1: New Jersey was sluggish and slow and fail to take 999 01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:52,560 Speaker 1: advantage of that. They failed to be timely. And so 1000 01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,040 Speaker 1: Las Vegas and states that already have sports lottery, which 1001 01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:59,680 Speaker 1: include states like organ they got in under that exception 1002 01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,480 Speaker 1: of the Father clause. But New Jersey just failed at it. 1003 01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:06,400 Speaker 1: So in a way, it's good for we didn't because 1004 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:10,240 Speaker 1: now the law has been one hundred percent overturn ruled unconstitutional. 1005 01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:13,400 Speaker 1: But until then, in this past interim, you could only 1006 01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,840 Speaker 1: again place bets under lottery systems if it was already 1007 01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,200 Speaker 1: existing or in Vegas because of the Grandfather clause. Now 1008 01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,840 Speaker 1: note as well, for listeners, this doesn't change online gambling. 1009 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:27,240 Speaker 1: This only has to do with state borders. And so 1010 01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:30,080 Speaker 1: until it's you know, until something happens differently on the 1011 01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:33,200 Speaker 1: federal level, when you see and hear people already talking 1012 01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:36,120 Speaker 1: about oh, mobile apps and this and that, it has 1013 01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,200 Speaker 1: to be tied to a house. It has to be 1014 01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:40,959 Speaker 1: tied to a racetrack or a brick and mortar within 1015 01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:45,720 Speaker 1: a state, so that you're not operating across state line. Okay, 1016 01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:48,680 Speaker 1: see that's really important. So before you would have to 1017 01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,520 Speaker 1: call a state that had the exception and they could 1018 01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:54,920 Speaker 1: place the bet for you in that state. And now 1019 01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,640 Speaker 1: states were any state based on the Supreme Court decision 1020 01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:00,760 Speaker 1: that came. Now today any state could say, you know, 1021 01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:02,960 Speaker 1: New York, they could say, okay, we're gonna set up 1022 01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:05,680 Speaker 1: the New York Betting Authority or something, right, I mean, 1023 01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:07,320 Speaker 1: just I know this is what they call these things. 1024 01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,840 Speaker 1: But and anyone can show up and they can bet 1025 01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:14,920 Speaker 1: on whether the Hoosiers are gonna beat the Hoyas. Right 1026 01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,320 Speaker 1: there we go. I got a couple. I don't know 1027 01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,200 Speaker 1: if they're even in the same conference or whatever, but 1028 01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,920 Speaker 1: you know, there's something, there's something there. I'm close. But 1029 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,680 Speaker 1: so you could do that as long as you were 1030 01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,760 Speaker 1: doing it at that authority in the state where you 1031 01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:29,680 Speaker 1: reside or in the state where you're placing the bet. 1032 01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:33,959 Speaker 1: But I couldn't say, as a New York resident, call 1033 01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,400 Speaker 1: Ohio and say, hey, I want to bet on your 1034 01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:39,680 Speaker 1: I want to bet on your game there right? I mean, 1035 01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:44,920 Speaker 1: is that am I close? Um? Yeah, you're You're on 1036 01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:48,280 Speaker 1: the right truck, absolutely, And again you you can't. You 1037 01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:52,560 Speaker 1: can't cross state lines at this moment um until unless 1038 01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:54,760 Speaker 1: you are tied directly to that house. So you're right 1039 01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:56,920 Speaker 1: on that account. And I do want to point out 1040 01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,880 Speaker 1: to you for listeners how complex this is in that 1041 01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:02,880 Speaker 1: you mentioned, you know, the gaming commission or who would 1042 01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:05,880 Speaker 1: oversee so certain states have been eyeing the fact that 1043 01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,680 Speaker 1: this was in the works, and there are many states 1044 01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,960 Speaker 1: that already have legislation approved and ready to go that 1045 01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:15,640 Speaker 1: was contingent upon this being struck down, and they've proposed 1046 01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,400 Speaker 1: that there existing gaming commissions or things of the like 1047 01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:22,880 Speaker 1: will now be amended to oversee sports betting operations as well. 1048 01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,600 Speaker 1: There's obviously a lot of profit that is to be 1049 01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,360 Speaker 1: made that goes to the state and those individual houses 1050 01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 1: and including sovereign tribes right and casinos in certain states 1051 01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:35,600 Speaker 1: where that applies. I want to say around thirty of them. 1052 01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:39,200 Speaker 1: And the biggest issue here, the biggest con was the 1053 01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:43,040 Speaker 1: preservation or the potential for piercing of the integrity of 1054 01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:44,840 Speaker 1: the game. And so when you hear a lot of 1055 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:46,840 Speaker 1: kind of vernacular about this, people have been talking about 1056 01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:49,920 Speaker 1: the propensity for addiction, and obviously there is that, but 1057 01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,520 Speaker 1: really it had to do with preserving the game, because 1058 01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,760 Speaker 1: that is why that nineteen ninety two while was passed 1059 01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:59,120 Speaker 1: in the first place. And so that's why now everyone 1060 01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:03,160 Speaker 1: is clamoring to ensure a portion a portion of the 1061 01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:06,160 Speaker 1: profit goes toward what they're calling it's an integrity free 1062 01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:08,439 Speaker 1: And so the irony is that all of these big 1063 01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:12,320 Speaker 1: league and professional sports organizations that have been protesting this 1064 01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,240 Speaker 1: the whole time, they've actually been lobbying now for the 1065 01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:17,960 Speaker 1: last six years undercover or I mean, you know, openly, 1066 01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:21,160 Speaker 1: but on the side with the estates can make sure 1067 01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:23,760 Speaker 1: that they get a cut, because they're saying, we are 1068 01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:25,520 Speaker 1: now the ones that have to put the bill for 1069 01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:30,720 Speaker 1: that integrity. Huh. So what's the interity thing? By the way, 1070 01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,640 Speaker 1: they think that if people are allowed to if people 1071 01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,240 Speaker 1: are allowed to place bets on games, then people are 1072 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 1: going to cheat in the games, Like, is that that's 1073 01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,360 Speaker 1: what they say? Because can't you place it Ben right 1074 01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:45,080 Speaker 1: now in Vegas? Exactly? Yes you can, and yes that 1075 01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:49,600 Speaker 1: is that is the fear that you know that coaches 1076 01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:51,520 Speaker 1: and players and officials and all of a sudden it 1077 01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:56,440 Speaker 1: will be one mass of corruption. And how much of this, Emily, 1078 01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:58,400 Speaker 1: I gotta jump in this is important? How much of 1079 01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:01,560 Speaker 1: this is really about Vegas, Atlantic City, a few other 1080 01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:06,800 Speaker 1: places spending a lot of money on lobbying and trying 1081 01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:10,640 Speaker 1: to protect their protect their own prerogatives here by being 1082 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,320 Speaker 1: places where you can actually gamble, you know what I mean? 1083 01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:16,280 Speaker 1: How much of this is actually gambling special interest driven 1084 01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,680 Speaker 1: up until this point instead of actually about protecting the game. 1085 01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,520 Speaker 1: Or do you think it really is primarily about just 1086 01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:24,600 Speaker 1: people wanting to protect the game? I don't know, I'm asking. 1087 01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,479 Speaker 1: I think that is the pure intent at the heart 1088 01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:32,400 Speaker 1: of what obviously translates into money, So it all goes 1089 01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:34,720 Speaker 1: to everyone wants to make sure that their best are 1090 01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:37,680 Speaker 1: based on pure principles and that their money will not 1091 01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:42,880 Speaker 1: be rendered vulnerable by other people feeding and by corrupting 1092 01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,920 Speaker 1: the game and correcting their gambling, you know, the enjoyment 1093 01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:48,800 Speaker 1: of course, that's like a pure thing, that's the fan thing. 1094 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,360 Speaker 1: But how it relates becomes a lot more complicated. And 1095 01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:53,480 Speaker 1: I want to point out, because we are all interested 1096 01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,200 Speaker 1: in our tax dollars and how money has spent in 1097 01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:59,320 Speaker 1: what things we are obligated for, the states are already 1098 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:03,040 Speaker 1: taking firm positions over who splits that. See so West Virginia, 1099 01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:07,000 Speaker 1: for example, they're like, absolutely not. Will There's no way 1100 01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:11,240 Speaker 1: our states will folder one red sense of this integrity. 1101 01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:13,520 Speaker 1: See like, absolutely not, that's going to be fully casinos. 1102 01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:17,480 Speaker 1: A New Jersey says absolutely not. You spent the last 1103 01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:21,240 Speaker 1: six years, you know, bleeding us dry and screwing us 1104 01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,640 Speaker 1: in courts, So absolutely not will you even see a 1105 01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,600 Speaker 1: red scent at all from us? So it plays into 1106 01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,840 Speaker 1: into account as well, like who foots the bill for 1107 01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:34,440 Speaker 1: the preservation that then protects people's gambling dollars? As you 1108 01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:37,000 Speaker 1: pointed out, how much money do we think is at 1109 01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,720 Speaker 1: stake here if this were to go state by state 1110 01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:44,040 Speaker 1: and people and states rather are passing legislation to allow 1111 01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:47,640 Speaker 1: sports betting, I've got a guess it's billions, right, And 1112 01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:51,080 Speaker 1: there's billions of dollars that must be conceivably at play 1113 01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:54,400 Speaker 1: here because of this ruling. Right, Okay, So the American 1114 01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:58,280 Speaker 1: Gambling Association they have estimated one hundred and fifty billion 1115 01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:02,560 Speaker 1: dollars was spent that spent annually illegally over you know, 1116 01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:06,920 Speaker 1: legally um outsourced because sports betting was illegal here. And 1117 01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:10,440 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen alone in Nevada, where it's legal, so 1118 01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:13,760 Speaker 1: heart numbers of legal sports betting, we had four point 1119 01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:18,000 Speaker 1: eight billion wagered and then the sports books themselves made 1120 01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,320 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty nine a million. So that's one year, 1121 01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:24,680 Speaker 1: one legal place, and that's you know, that's what we're 1122 01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:26,720 Speaker 1: looking at. You're absolutely right. The point is in the 1123 01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,600 Speaker 1: billions and no two for people who aren't as versed 1124 01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:33,040 Speaker 1: in gambling. But sports betting isn't really lucrative for the house. 1125 01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:37,640 Speaker 1: It is more lucrative actually for the fans. So that's 1126 01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:40,880 Speaker 1: an interesting thing too that um it, it pulls into 1127 01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:45,080 Speaker 1: play more than just you know the kind of thing. Right. 1128 01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:47,080 Speaker 1: I've got to assume though, that the same way that 1129 01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:50,640 Speaker 1: states justify the lottery, which is really actually attacks on 1130 01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:53,760 Speaker 1: many people in the working class. Uh, but they justify 1131 01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,240 Speaker 1: by taking the proceeds of lottery. So wherever you are 1132 01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:59,520 Speaker 1: across the country, folks listening. I mean, unless I'm missing it. 1133 01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:02,520 Speaker 1: Maybe it's different in some states, but usually the proceeds 1134 01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:05,000 Speaker 1: the state gets from loattering, at least in theory, goes 1135 01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:07,400 Speaker 1: toward education, and I know they've done that. I think 1136 01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,120 Speaker 1: also with taxes on marijuana in states that have de 1137 01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:13,680 Speaker 1: facto legalized marijuana, it's supposed to go towards schools. I 1138 01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:16,000 Speaker 1: got to assume that now that states have the green light, 1139 01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:19,479 Speaker 1: based on this Supreme Court ruling today Emily, that they're 1140 01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:21,960 Speaker 1: just going to tax the tax that you know what 1141 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,680 Speaker 1: out of sports bets in their states. Right, it's a 1142 01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:29,519 Speaker 1: big source of revenue for the government. And you know 1143 01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:33,240 Speaker 1: that any opportunity for income for the FED or income 1144 01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:35,599 Speaker 1: for the states. First of all, anything they don't get 1145 01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:38,759 Speaker 1: they call quote lost income, which shows you that any money, 1146 01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,599 Speaker 1: any money you bring home, they really consider it that's lost. 1147 01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:44,720 Speaker 1: That's really their income that's lost. That's number one and 1148 01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,759 Speaker 1: number two. Yes, and the states have already come out 1149 01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:50,719 Speaker 1: many of them and said specifically, look, this is where 1150 01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:53,519 Speaker 1: all of that faufit dollars, this is where they're going. 1151 01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,719 Speaker 1: And you're right, it includes education and it includes global benefits, 1152 01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,799 Speaker 1: benefits for their citizens. So it's certainly not tied only 1153 01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:03,640 Speaker 1: to uh sports or gambling. Um and I agree with you, 1154 01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:07,000 Speaker 1: by the way, that the lottery is a tax on workers. Um. So, yes, 1155 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:08,800 Speaker 1: you are one hundred percent right. And a lot of 1156 01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:11,400 Speaker 1: the legislation too, by the way, is not it's not 1157 01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:13,320 Speaker 1: set in stone. They say, look, you know this is 1158 01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:15,599 Speaker 1: this is tentative, and then as soon as this small 1159 01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,639 Speaker 1: was overturned, which it was today and the implementation, it'll 1160 01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,479 Speaker 1: be put in stone and the actual percentage of tax 1161 01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:26,720 Speaker 1: will be um uh conquertized at that time essentially. So 1162 01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:28,439 Speaker 1: do you think we're going to see just last one 1163 01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:30,280 Speaker 1: for your Emily or speaking to Emily Componu by the way, 1164 01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:32,320 Speaker 1: everyone go to Emily Komponyu dot com for more of 1165 01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:35,720 Speaker 1: her a legal analysis. Are we going to see an 1166 01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:38,600 Speaker 1: explosion of different states that are that are actually going 1167 01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:41,679 Speaker 1: to pass laws here that allow this to become kind 1168 01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:46,080 Speaker 1: of a new American tradition betting on sporting events. Yes, 1169 01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:48,479 Speaker 1: in the last couple of years, we have states that 1170 01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:50,680 Speaker 1: have already teed it up, ready and waiting to go. 1171 01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,479 Speaker 1: So we have New Jersey obviously right away they even 1172 01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,800 Speaker 1: fought kiosks already.

John give Can you give us 1203 01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:47,840 Speaker 1: a little just a little primer. What's what's up for tomorrow? 1204 01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:51,479 Speaker 1: You said you're voting. Who's who's running? Who's voting? Well, 1205 01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:53,799 Speaker 1: there's all kinds of people running. But I'm I'm saying 1206 01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:56,519 Speaker 1: what I'm telling the people that listen to Buck Sex 1207 01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:58,960 Speaker 1: and there's they should get out and vote because I mean, 1208 01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:00,600 Speaker 1: Trump showed that you can, you can get out and 1209 01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:03,840 Speaker 1: you can put some of these people out that are 1210 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,000 Speaker 1: some of these deep state people. I mean, you gotta 1211 01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:08,000 Speaker 1: you gotta start at the grass roots. You gotta earlier 1212 01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:11,479 Speaker 1: might get out there, and you gotta vote, because I mean, 1213 01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:13,160 Speaker 1: if you look at what's going on, if they can 1214 01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:15,160 Speaker 1: do that to Trump, they can do that to anybody. 1215 01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:18,240 Speaker 1: And well, what they're doing is is just dead ass wrong. 1216 01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:19,800 Speaker 1: Some of the stuff's coming out with that in bed 1217 01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:23,200 Speaker 1: in the in the in the campaign and stuff like that. 1218 01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:25,040 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I want I'm gonna I'm gonna drill 1219 01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:26,519 Speaker 1: down to that. People are probably like, Buck, why aren't 1220 01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,240 Speaker 1: you hitting the more today. I'm I'm doing some my 1221 01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:30,479 Speaker 1: deep dive research and you'll probably hit it more tomorrow 1222 01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:33,240 Speaker 1: and the next day. But I do think that they 1223 01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:36,599 Speaker 1: I think that there's a preponderance of the evidence now 1224 01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:40,599 Speaker 1: pointing toward a penetration of the Trump campaign by somebody 1225 01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:44,120 Speaker 1: working on behalf of the FBI and perhaps others in 1226 01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:47,080 Speaker 1: the in the intelligence community. We don't know yet, but 1227 01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:50,160 Speaker 1: we'll look into that. And uh and John, I appreciate 1228 01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:54,519 Speaker 1: you calling in for Pennsylvania. Thank you, sir. H Yeah, 1229 01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:58,080 Speaker 1: don't think that I've that's off my off my radar. 1230 01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:01,519 Speaker 1: I will certainly be spending more time looking at and 1231 01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:05,920 Speaker 1: thinking about the Muller probe. Be honest with you, folks, 1232 01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:08,439 Speaker 1: I need to stop, as a preface to a sentence, 1233 01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:10,040 Speaker 1: I need to not use that anymore because it makes 1234 01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:11,840 Speaker 1: it sound like, well, unlike the other times, we're being 1235 01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:14,280 Speaker 1: dishonest with you folks, right, let me let me be 1236 01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:17,280 Speaker 1: straight with you here, unlike the other times. No, but 1237 01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:21,960 Speaker 1: I get Muller fatigue here. And I know so many 1238 01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,200 Speaker 1: shows spend so much time on it. I really look, 1239 01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:26,080 Speaker 1: I feel like by the time you get to listen 1240 01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,240 Speaker 1: to me, many you know, those you listening live or 1241 01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:30,720 Speaker 1: many of you are listening on the podcast later on, 1242 01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:35,360 Speaker 1: you know, I'm giving you stuff that you haven't heard elsewhere, 1243 01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:38,400 Speaker 1: and hopefully stories you haven't even heard about elsewhere. It's 1244 01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:40,519 Speaker 1: one of the one of the value addeds that I 1245 01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:42,639 Speaker 1: like to have here on the show. So I try 1246 01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:44,120 Speaker 1: to also mix it up. I mean, today, look, you 1247 01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:45,960 Speaker 1: got to talk about Israel when it's the biggest story 1248 01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:48,280 Speaker 1: in the country. I think you're right what it means 1249 01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:51,040 Speaker 1: the Trump administration. So we certainly do a fair amount 1250 01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:52,960 Speaker 1: of the big news of the day here, but I 1251 01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:54,840 Speaker 1: try to bring other things into the mix as well. 1252 01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:57,200 Speaker 1: That all set I just also get tired of Muller 1253 01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,439 Speaker 1: the whole thing, right, all this and that, this and that, 1254 01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:04,639 Speaker 1: and you know, it's it's certainly a marathon, not a sprint, 1255 01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:09,040 Speaker 1: and it feels sometimes like it's a it's a marathon 1256 01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:13,080 Speaker 1: in slow motion. Right, it's just watching paint dry here 1257 01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:17,240 Speaker 1: with hoping this thing is gonna end sometime soon and 1258 01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:19,559 Speaker 1: I'll look into you know, we wanted to have Kim 1259 01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:22,160 Speaker 1: Strassel last week. She got super busy because her story 1260 01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:25,920 Speaker 1: on this possible penetration of the Trump campaign became one 1261 01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:29,519 Speaker 1: of the one of the main news narratives in the 1262 01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:32,599 Speaker 1: country unless you're a Democrat, and then it's just Stormy 1263 01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:36,360 Speaker 1: Daniels and you know Russia, or this guy Michael Avanati, 1264 01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:40,479 Speaker 1: who her lawyer, the porn lawyer. This guy is sending 1265 01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:44,040 Speaker 1: around some pretty crazy emails to people the media, threatening 1266 01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:45,760 Speaker 1: them like you can't talk about this or I'm gonna 1267 01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:47,560 Speaker 1: sue you and you better watch out or else. This 1268 01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:51,559 Speaker 1: guy's a clown. This guy's a real joke. But notice, 1269 01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:57,080 Speaker 1: you know, Cooper and Cuomo and Tapper and matt Ow, 1270 01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,639 Speaker 1: and they're all, oh, let's treat this guy like he's 1271 01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:02,479 Speaker 1: he's a real hero of the resistance. You know, they'll 1272 01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:05,960 Speaker 1: they'll treat him with a lot of respect. The guy 1273 01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:08,840 Speaker 1: who's you know, the poor lawyer guy of a Nati 1274 01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:12,680 Speaker 1: and I think he's angling for a show. I really do. 1275 01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:14,519 Speaker 1: I think he thinks he's got to get his own 1276 01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:17,200 Speaker 1: table news show. I want to talk to you about 1277 01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:22,439 Speaker 1: liberal hypocrisy when it comes to um homelessness, specifically in 1278 01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:24,800 Speaker 1: California and what's going on there. That'll that'll be a 1279 01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:28,880 Speaker 1: story coming up. And then also teen Vogue and Karl Marks, 1280 01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:32,360 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that just a few minutes. Buck Sexton 1281 01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:37,680 Speaker 1: remission to coding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. 1282 01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:43,599 Speaker 1: Make no mistake American, You're a great American. Again. This 1283 01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:52,280 Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show. CIA analysts. Remember, No, it's 1284 01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:56,599 Speaker 1: about seventy five percent of geographical areas inhabited by twenty 1285 01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,519 Speaker 1: five percent of lower income people buy and large so 1286 01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:02,280 Speaker 1: people in this medieval society on the coast, they don't 1287 01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:05,840 Speaker 1: believe in water transfers for agriculture and for poor people, 1288 01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:09,559 Speaker 1: but they surely do for the artificial landscapes in the 1289 01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:12,439 Speaker 1: Bay Area, whether it's het Chechi or the California Water Project. 1290 01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:17,040 Speaker 1: So that attitude is it sort of reverberates throughout California, 1291 01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:19,840 Speaker 1: and it's a dysfunctional state because of that. There's the 1292 01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:22,439 Speaker 1: middle class about four or five million people have left. 1293 01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:26,120 Speaker 1: We had about four or five million people come illegally 1294 01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:30,760 Speaker 1: from southern Mexico, and we've had an enormous concentration of 1295 01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:33,479 Speaker 1: global wealth in a very small geographical area. And you 1296 01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:35,800 Speaker 1: put all that together and you get what you have now, 1297 01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:41,479 Speaker 1: a dysfunctional state. That was Victor Davis Hansen, one of 1298 01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:47,200 Speaker 1: my favorite contemporary writers, does a great job National View. 1299 01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:49,880 Speaker 1: I really like his books too, And I had the 1300 01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,800 Speaker 1: good fortune to be a wow who I was gonna say, 1301 01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:54,760 Speaker 1: I was out on the West coast. Got that? Who 1302 01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:58,040 Speaker 1: cares about that for now? But he's a really interesting guy, 1303 01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:00,840 Speaker 1: and I really appreciate his analysis a California native of 1304 01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:05,360 Speaker 1: what's going on out there because it is a window 1305 01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:08,640 Speaker 1: into our future. And when I say that it is 1306 01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:15,960 Speaker 1: turning into a stratified socioeconomic society like Latin America, I 1307 01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:20,200 Speaker 1: don't mean in terms of the Latin American population in California. 1308 01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:25,240 Speaker 1: I mean incredibly wealthy people, period and very very very 1309 01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:28,439 Speaker 1: dependent on the state. Not wealthy people. Right. You have 1310 01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:32,240 Speaker 1: that across much of Latin America. That's the status quo. 1311 01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:36,280 Speaker 1: In Brazil, that's the status quo. In Argentina, that's just 1312 01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:40,320 Speaker 1: the way that it is. And California doesn't have an 1313 01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:42,320 Speaker 1: answer to this problem, really, and I think it's just 1314 01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:45,479 Speaker 1: going to keep getting worse and worse. But apart from 1315 01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:47,880 Speaker 1: the issue of illegals, where you have a lot of 1316 01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:53,800 Speaker 1: hypocrisy because the liberals who have the money and have 1317 01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,320 Speaker 1: a lot of say in what the government is doing 1318 01:17:56,320 --> 01:18:00,800 Speaker 1: in California don't deal with illegals dept in ways that 1319 01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:03,439 Speaker 1: benefit them right there. Their kids aren't going to schools 1320 01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:06,040 Speaker 1: with a lot of illegal immigrants. Their kids aren't or 1321 01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:09,080 Speaker 1: their their neighborhoods tend not to be places where you have, 1322 01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:12,639 Speaker 1: you know, not a lot of illegals in Beverly Hills, 1323 01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:17,120 Speaker 1: for example, at least not living there. But the homelessness issue, 1324 01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:20,160 Speaker 1: which is separate from the issue of illegal immigrants, is 1325 01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:23,960 Speaker 1: also a place where you see this stratification. I didn't 1326 01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:27,920 Speaker 1: even know this, you know, I was in LA recently 1327 01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:29,439 Speaker 1: a few weeks back, and I told you I love 1328 01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:32,959 Speaker 1: San Diego. La has some great parts that some big drawbacks. 1329 01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:38,360 Speaker 1: But I would drive past these encampments of homeless people 1330 01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:42,280 Speaker 1: and and I mean I mean it looked like occupied 1331 01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:45,840 Speaker 1: Wall Street. I mean tents that are clearly not going 1332 01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:51,639 Speaker 1: anywhere set up for long term open air living. And 1333 01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:54,439 Speaker 1: I knew that that LA had this problem, but I 1334 01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:57,000 Speaker 1: didn't know until I read this article in the was 1335 01:18:57,120 --> 01:19:00,920 Speaker 1: the Post at the Times that California has a quarter 1336 01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:06,800 Speaker 1: of the entire country's homeless population. Okay, so twenty five 1337 01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:09,920 Speaker 1: percent of all homeless people in the three twenty million 1338 01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:14,759 Speaker 1: person United States are in California, which is pretty stunning. 1339 01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:18,080 Speaker 1: But it's only now becoming an issue because you see 1340 01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:20,960 Speaker 1: a lot of the liberals in the Bay Area, LA 1341 01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:24,400 Speaker 1: and around really the coasts. The rich people in California 1342 01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:28,280 Speaker 1: live in the coasts. The working class, poor people, legal immigrants, 1343 01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:31,479 Speaker 1: they live more in the interior of California. But the 1344 01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:34,439 Speaker 1: rich people along the coasts are starting to complain about 1345 01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:38,920 Speaker 1: the homeless population because they're actually having It's gotten so 1346 01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:41,880 Speaker 1: bad that they're actually having to deal with it. This 1347 01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:45,719 Speaker 1: is the peace in the Washington Post. As gentrification escalates 1348 01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:50,280 Speaker 1: in California, people wonder where can the homeless go. Well, 1349 01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:53,920 Speaker 1: let me answer this question. I can't go to you 1350 01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:59,160 Speaker 1: can't go to Malibu, can't go to Orange County, can't 1351 01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:02,599 Speaker 1: go to you know the nicest you know, Santa Monica. Well, 1352 01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:04,599 Speaker 1: actually there's a lot of Homelessessanta Monica. It's a problem 1353 01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:08,479 Speaker 1: because of the beaches, but you know, can't go to 1354 01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:14,479 Speaker 1: a lot of places where the wealthy or congregated. But 1355 01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:17,320 Speaker 1: they don't understand that having the policies they do of 1356 01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:21,720 Speaker 1: permissiveness for homelessness statewide cause problems for everybody else. Right, 1357 01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,080 Speaker 1: Just now you're starting to see some pushback on this 1358 01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:26,840 Speaker 1: because and this is by the way, you see this 1359 01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:29,280 Speaker 1: with schools, You see this with a number of things. 1360 01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:36,080 Speaker 1: These sanctimonious limousine liberals will be there's stands so tall, 1361 01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:38,599 Speaker 1: they're so into the virtue signal on this stuff. The 1362 01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:41,080 Speaker 1: moment that they actually have skin in the game, the 1363 01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:43,200 Speaker 1: moment that it's hold on a second, you're gonna have 1364 01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:46,439 Speaker 1: to deal with these policies you have advocate for everyone else. 1365 01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:49,559 Speaker 1: They didn't even try to hide the hypocrisy. It just 1366 01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:54,200 Speaker 1: jumps out at you. This is one in particular I'm 1367 01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:58,800 Speaker 1: trying to find. This was in this piece on you know, 1368 01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:00,920 Speaker 1: I think that Malibu is of the most beautiful places 1369 01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:05,680 Speaker 1: in the whole country. But obviously it's incredibly wealthy liberal enclave, right, 1370 01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:07,599 Speaker 1: But it's a very very beautiful place. If you haven't 1371 01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:10,960 Speaker 1: been Pacific Coast Highway. There's it's worth a drive, It's 1372 01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:15,559 Speaker 1: it's gorgeous. Obviously a very very expensive place to live 1373 01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:19,919 Speaker 1: as well. But here's what this piece says about Malibu. 1374 01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:22,559 Speaker 1: It's a city west of Los Angeles that includes a 1375 01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:29,439 Speaker 1: neighborhood nicknamed Billionaires Beach. But residents have urged a church 1376 01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:33,680 Speaker 1: to stop the weekly dinners at holds for the homeless. 1377 01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:38,960 Speaker 1: Residents argue that offering charity just attracts more homeless people, 1378 01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:42,639 Speaker 1: and the same thing has happened in other parts of 1379 01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:49,040 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Oh, you mean that if you if you 1380 01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:51,519 Speaker 1: invite now, the church is different than the state. But 1381 01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:56,559 Speaker 1: if you have state policies that invite in homeless people 1382 01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:58,400 Speaker 1: and tell them that they can live on the streets 1383 01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:01,559 Speaker 1: and they yeah, by the way, this to outbreaks of disease. 1384 01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:05,920 Speaker 1: It's really unsanitary. I'm I'm all for helping the homeless. 1385 01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:11,120 Speaker 1: I'm not for municipal policies that encourage the homeless to 1386 01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:14,280 Speaker 1: just live out on the city streets, which is what 1387 01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:16,240 Speaker 1: you have in places like la You have these big 1388 01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:19,920 Speaker 1: encampments of tents everywhere, and that's been okay until they 1389 01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,840 Speaker 1: want to set up shop in Malibu. Then all of 1390 01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:25,320 Speaker 1: a sudden, liberals start complaining about it until they want 1391 01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:28,320 Speaker 1: to start, you know, taking over parks. That's, by the way, 1392 01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:31,080 Speaker 1: one of the things you see, park is supposed to 1393 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:33,599 Speaker 1: be a common space, a shared space right for all 1394 01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:36,080 Speaker 1: people in a neighborhood, anyone even passing through the neighborhood 1395 01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:38,840 Speaker 1: to enjoy. If a park turns into a giant, open 1396 01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:44,680 Speaker 1: air latrine, it is much less enjoyable. I think, call 1397 01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:49,160 Speaker 1: me crazy, but that's what ends up happening in a 1398 01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:52,400 Speaker 1: lot of these. I've heard it's worse sin San Francisco 1399 01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:54,840 Speaker 1: than any other place in the country. I have friends 1400 01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:57,360 Speaker 1: and family members have been out of the West to 1401 01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:00,800 Speaker 1: specifically a Bay area recently, and they say it's just 1402 01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:04,240 Speaker 1: San Francisco is feeling more and more like a giant, 1403 01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:07,799 Speaker 1: open air homeless shelter. It's not good for the homeless 1404 01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:10,960 Speaker 1: people that are in these encampments, by the way, it's 1405 01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:14,760 Speaker 1: not helpful to them to be in a in a 1406 01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:18,160 Speaker 1: city that you know, gives them all kinds of free 1407 01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:21,240 Speaker 1: services and it really encourages them. I think San Francisco 1408 01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:25,240 Speaker 1: also gives a has a needle distribution programs. You've got 1409 01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:29,200 Speaker 1: hy hypodermic needles all over the city too now, and 1410 01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,800 Speaker 1: they're really ruining these places, folks. And by the way, 1411 01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:36,040 Speaker 1: what is one unifying characteristic of all of these cities, 1412 01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:38,280 Speaker 1: and of course the state of California, It is the 1413 01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:43,479 Speaker 1: Democrat stronghold, the bluest of the blue, as left wing, 1414 01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:48,200 Speaker 1: as progressive as it gets. At least New York City 1415 01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:50,360 Speaker 1: progressivism has a bit there's a bit more of a 1416 01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:53,760 Speaker 1: of an attachment to capitalism as a general concept, you know, 1417 01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:55,880 Speaker 1: because the Wall Street and all that stuff out in 1418 01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:58,080 Speaker 1: the progress out in the West Coast that progresses. Man, 1419 01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:02,800 Speaker 1: it's there. They're even in a whole other level. I think. Oh, 1420 01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:04,840 Speaker 1: here's another one. This is when all of a sudden, 1421 01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:08,280 Speaker 1: the problem of mass homelessness. Liberals start to pay attention 1422 01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:11,880 Speaker 1: when it is literally in their backyard. Right, when it's 1423 01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:15,120 Speaker 1: your backyard, How could you be so mean? Why don't 1424 01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:18,679 Speaker 1: you want to help the less fortunate? Oh? But when 1425 01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:24,640 Speaker 1: all of a sudden it means that they're celebrated cultural 1426 01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:28,160 Speaker 1: edifices are under assault, then there's a problem. Here's what 1427 01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:30,719 Speaker 1: this piece says. There's a fire last fall that threatened 1428 01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:36,640 Speaker 1: the Getty Museum because a fire started in a hillside 1429 01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:40,240 Speaker 1: homeless encampment, which drew calls from some of the richest 1430 01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:42,600 Speaker 1: Los Angeles neighborhoods for the government to do more to 1431 01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:46,360 Speaker 1: address the issue. Downtown business is also burned as a 1432 01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:48,600 Speaker 1: result of cooking fires that got out of control in 1433 01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:53,559 Speaker 1: homeless enclaves. This stuff is dangerous. Let's you get a 1434 01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:56,639 Speaker 1: homeless man walk into a steakhouse in Ventura in Los 1435 01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:58,800 Speaker 1: Angeles and stab a thirty five year old man as 1436 01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:00,800 Speaker 1: he ate dinner with his f five year old daughter 1437 01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:07,840 Speaker 1: sitting in his lap. Folks, okay. Allowing for widespread systematic 1438 01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:10,639 Speaker 1: homelessness on the streets without a city program to address 1439 01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,440 Speaker 1: it and deal with it right away is a big problem. 1440 01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:16,439 Speaker 1: I saw this in New York City. There was and 1441 01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:19,479 Speaker 1: in my neighborhood on the East side of New York 1442 01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:21,760 Speaker 1: growing up as a kid, there was an open air 1443 01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:25,360 Speaker 1: homeless shelter that was being operated right a block away 1444 01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:27,400 Speaker 1: from my church, and not by the church, by the way, 1445 01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:29,960 Speaker 1: by a bunch of Democrat politicians wanted to look like 1446 01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,519 Speaker 1: they were being so nice. You know what. It was loud, 1447 01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:37,080 Speaker 1: it was unsanitary, it was dangerous. Maybe now the liberals 1448 01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:39,080 Speaker 1: are starting to wake up because the loudness and the 1449 01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:42,040 Speaker 1: lack of sanitary conditions, and the danger is getting close 1450 01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,040 Speaker 1: enough to them. But you know, maybe they should also 1451 01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:48,720 Speaker 1: think there's some ideas we should revisit here about being 1452 01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:54,680 Speaker 1: a bleeding hard progressive just maybe, just maybe we'll be 1453 01:25:54,800 --> 01:26:13,960 Speaker 1: right back. So the left has some weird heroes. I 1454 01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:16,719 Speaker 1: don't mean today. I don't mean like Sarah Silverman, who's 1455 01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:23,320 Speaker 1: neither funny nor charming nor interesting. I mean historically too. 1456 01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:26,719 Speaker 1: I mean you will see people walking down the street 1457 01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:31,360 Speaker 1: progressives who think of themselves as very socially conscious, woke 1458 01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:35,320 Speaker 1: in the parlance of our times. They're so woke, and 1459 01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:38,920 Speaker 1: they will, whether they believe it or not, virtue signal 1460 01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:44,599 Speaker 1: by tying themselves to symbols of the wicket. You see 1461 01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:49,599 Speaker 1: this with Chekavara, for example, Ernesto Guivara. We all call 1462 01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:54,000 Speaker 1: him cha Chay just means dude. It's the nickname like Buck. 1463 01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:58,240 Speaker 1: Two points everybody, what's my real name? Some of your 1464 01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:03,679 Speaker 1: yelling James, and you're correct, But Ernesto che Guevara, Buck 1465 01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:07,680 Speaker 1: is my middle name, so that counts. Is somebody you'll 1466 01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:11,760 Speaker 1: see emblazoned on T shirts and they they won't know 1467 01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:16,920 Speaker 1: about his his authoritarianism, his brutality, his feelings towards what 1468 01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:22,760 Speaker 1: should be done to uh to gaze. He was a 1469 01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:25,920 Speaker 1: terrible fellow. I mean, Guivara was a really bad guy. 1470 01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:28,400 Speaker 1: But he's a revolutionary. And there's a picture of him 1471 01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:30,439 Speaker 1: where he looks like kind of a handsome Brooklyn hipster 1472 01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:35,680 Speaker 1: and so bam his face is on things. But you 1473 01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:42,680 Speaker 1: don't usually see a hipsterization of Karl Marx among the 1474 01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:47,559 Speaker 1: pop culture set, but sometimes it happens, And now we've 1475 01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:53,080 Speaker 1: got an example of that, courtesy of teen Vogue. So like, 1476 01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:55,160 Speaker 1: am I got ask like whatever? Because like if I 1477 01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:57,280 Speaker 1: just like listen to Aria Grande, like, I feel like 1478 01:27:57,360 --> 01:28:00,320 Speaker 1: I'll get like the bath sense of like hopital and 1479 01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:02,000 Speaker 1: like what's going on in the world because she like 1480 01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:08,000 Speaker 1: south Thumb and a sad as. The usage, the the 1481 01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:12,880 Speaker 1: overuse of like in speech is one of the things 1482 01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:15,559 Speaker 1: that we should all work to eradicate. And I will 1483 01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:19,479 Speaker 1: tell you I know some lots of very smart people 1484 01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:22,320 Speaker 1: who like just like just like they'll like talk like 1485 01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:26,360 Speaker 1: just like this like all like day. It needs to stop. 1486 01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:30,320 Speaker 1: It is bad. It's a habit, it is learned, and 1487 01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,040 Speaker 1: we need I know, this is a very get off 1488 01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:33,680 Speaker 1: my long thing. But you all have to agree with 1489 01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:39,439 Speaker 1: me as I said to you. Everyone should feel comfortable pausing. 1490 01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:40,960 Speaker 1: I do it all the time here on the show. 1491 01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:44,760 Speaker 1: I'm also speaking for three hours at a time. But 1492 01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:47,960 Speaker 1: everyone should feel comfortable pausing as they speak and not 1493 01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:49,880 Speaker 1: like feel like they have to like feel like every 1494 01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:54,000 Speaker 1: like pause like because like oh my anyway, so like commrqus. 1495 01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:58,439 Speaker 1: Back to teen Vogue, hairs an article and the title 1496 01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:02,679 Speaker 1: as who is all Marks made the anti capitalist scholar? 1497 01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:07,880 Speaker 1: That communist scholars ideas are more prevalent you might realize 1498 01:29:08,320 --> 01:29:12,880 Speaker 1: in teen Vogue And they go on to say this, 1499 01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:16,519 Speaker 1: this author in teen Vogue, which I didn't even really 1500 01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:20,800 Speaker 1: know was a thing, goes on to actually give some 1501 01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:23,719 Speaker 1: information about Marks. I'm like, you know, she has access 1502 01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:27,800 Speaker 1: to Wikipedia. That's good, so talking about the communist manifesto 1503 01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:31,439 Speaker 1: and socialism and labor and ye, there's a little bit 1504 01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:34,000 Speaker 1: of information in here. So I can't say that it's 1505 01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:36,880 Speaker 1: a total loss, because I'm sure there's some girls who 1506 01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:39,400 Speaker 1: are like, oh my gosh, like why is Santa Claus 1507 01:29:39,439 --> 01:29:42,760 Speaker 1: like writing about political things? It's like, it's not Santa Claus, honey, 1508 01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:47,320 Speaker 1: it's Krawl Marks close enough, though, Like what I've heard 1509 01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:50,080 Speaker 1: us he bring presents. Well, actually, in fact there's uh 1510 01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:53,360 Speaker 1: that's that's kind of part of the appeal of socialism 1511 01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:55,679 Speaker 1: is the promise that you're gonna get lots of free 1512 01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:58,639 Speaker 1: goodies in presidents. But it doesn't work out that way. 1513 01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:02,400 Speaker 1: So in a sense, all Marks is an evil Santa clause, 1514 01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:05,639 Speaker 1: he's Santa, but there aren't any actual presence. He's Santa 1515 01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:11,000 Speaker 1: who takes presence from you. But this piece goes on 1516 01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:13,879 Speaker 1: to then, after laying out some of the very basics 1517 01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:19,920 Speaker 1: about the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, goes in to say 1518 01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:24,640 Speaker 1: things like like this quote. Some examples of violence that 1519 01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:27,960 Speaker 1: aided in the establishment of capitalism in the United States 1520 01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:33,160 Speaker 1: include stealing the land of indigenous people and trafficking Africans 1521 01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:38,280 Speaker 1: through slavery end quote. So now we're gonna look at 1522 01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:42,839 Speaker 1: capitalism as anything bad that has happened during the period 1523 01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:46,040 Speaker 1: that capitalism has existed. Like, let's pick the worst stuff 1524 01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:49,880 Speaker 1: and blame that on capitalism, even if it has nothing 1525 01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:53,880 Speaker 1: to do per se with the economic system of capitalism. 1526 01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:55,960 Speaker 1: And see, this is polluting the minds of the youth. 1527 01:30:56,000 --> 01:31:00,880 Speaker 1: My friends. Socrates got in trouble for this. But teen 1528 01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:06,040 Speaker 1: Vogue is actually doing it. You mean Socrates as an aside. 1529 01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:11,400 Speaker 1: I saw over the weekend. I saw Bill and Ted's 1530 01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:17,519 Speaker 1: excellent ADVENTURER Bogus excellent, And you know, Keanu Reeves is 1531 01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:19,320 Speaker 1: one of my favorite actors. I'll say that. So I 1532 01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:23,760 Speaker 1: have a particular place place in my heart for Bill 1533 01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:28,639 Speaker 1: and Ted's excellent adventure Bogus. Journey was just like not 1534 01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:32,919 Speaker 1: not good enough. It was it was. It was bogus. Obviously, 1535 01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:35,800 Speaker 1: it's a well named movie in that the journey in 1536 01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:39,960 Speaker 1: the second one was was bogus. But there's more in 1537 01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:43,120 Speaker 1: this teen Vogue piece that I find troubling because I 1538 01:31:43,200 --> 01:31:46,400 Speaker 1: assume that only I can't imagine anyone who's not a 1539 01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:50,519 Speaker 1: teenage girl reads teen Vogue. I could be wrong, but 1540 01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:55,400 Speaker 1: there are things like this in this piece. While you 1541 01:31:55,439 --> 01:31:59,360 Speaker 1: may not necessarily identify as a Marxist, socialist or communist, 1542 01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:02,799 Speaker 1: you can still use Karl Marx's ideas to use history 1543 01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:06,360 Speaker 1: and class struggle to better understand how the current socio 1544 01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:10,360 Speaker 1: political climate came to be. Instead of looking at President 1545 01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:13,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's victory as a snapshot, we can turn to 1546 01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:16,120 Speaker 1: the bigger picture of what led up to the current moment. 1547 01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:21,360 Speaker 1: So Yeah, you can use Marx's ideas to better understand 1548 01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:26,719 Speaker 1: the current socio political climate in America. I guess that's 1549 01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:30,880 Speaker 1: somehow technically true, and that learning things means that you'll 1550 01:32:30,920 --> 01:32:33,040 Speaker 1: know more about other things as you learn them. But 1551 01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:36,879 Speaker 1: I don't think that Marx and his theories are particularly 1552 01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:41,759 Speaker 1: useful for understanding this moment in time in this country. Plus, 1553 01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:44,320 Speaker 1: like Marx, like if you give back and you look 1554 01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:48,400 Speaker 1: at like the history of like mark them, like there's 1555 01:32:48,479 --> 01:32:52,959 Speaker 1: not a lot of like really fancy designers in communist countries, 1556 01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:55,760 Speaker 1: like kind of thing that communist countries have really bad 1557 01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:58,519 Speaker 1: designers if you look at the photos. See, I want 1558 01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:01,000 Speaker 1: to scare the youth away from communism, so I want 1559 01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:03,639 Speaker 1: to tell them about things like that, like the cars 1560 01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:07,479 Speaker 1: were like really ugly and like slow and not like 1561 01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:12,439 Speaker 1: there were no beamers in like communist countries, like not 1562 01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:15,920 Speaker 1: like fancy ones at least stuff like that. Yeah, So 1563 01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:17,599 Speaker 1: if teen Vogue is going to get in on this game, 1564 01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:19,360 Speaker 1: I feel like we need to do our part and 1565 01:33:19,720 --> 01:33:23,240 Speaker 1: disabuse the youth of thinking that that Marx is cool. 1566 01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:26,000 Speaker 1: But what was it mark the two hundredth anniversary of 1567 01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:30,760 Speaker 1: Yeah it's too I'm sorry. Yeah, the two hundredth birthday 1568 01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:34,840 Speaker 1: of Karl Marx was May fifth. That was why this 1569 01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:37,880 Speaker 1: is getting getting some traction. Oh and maybe it will 1570 01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:40,439 Speaker 1: be good just asn't a side, Maybe it will be 1571 01:33:40,439 --> 01:33:43,040 Speaker 1: good to include in this piece about Marxism in teen 1572 01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:48,439 Speaker 1: Vogue some discussion of the hundreds of millions who were 1573 01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:51,439 Speaker 1: killed as a result of this guy's terrible ideas that 1574 01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:55,479 Speaker 1: negate basic human nature and their for dignity, and the 1575 01:33:55,800 --> 01:34:00,760 Speaker 1: billions of people throughout history who have been enslaved as 1576 01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:04,760 Speaker 1: a result of these terrible ideas. That also might be 1577 01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:07,960 Speaker 1: nice to throw into this Team Vogue article on Karl Mark. 1578 01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:10,680 Speaker 1: But like, happy birthday, Carl, you're like two hundred, that's 1579 01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:26,080 Speaker 1: like foe all like lmg, he's back with you now, 1580 01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:28,920 Speaker 1: because when it comes to the fight for truth, the 1581 01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:42,240 Speaker 1: fuck never stops. Team. Whenever I see something online and 1582 01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:45,320 Speaker 1: I think is really worthwhile, I try and share it 1583 01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:48,760 Speaker 1: with you, even if it's has nothing to do with 1584 01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:51,960 Speaker 1: the news. And I wanted to tell you about this one. 1585 01:34:53,439 --> 01:34:56,960 Speaker 1: This was off of a Twitter thread. Usually you don't 1586 01:34:56,960 --> 01:34:59,639 Speaker 1: find a lot of wisdom on Twitter, or a lot 1587 01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:02,920 Speaker 1: of things that inspire you pull at your heart strength. 1588 01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:06,280 Speaker 1: This one, though, I thought was worth sharing with you, 1589 01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:11,439 Speaker 1: in particulars from a father. Goyo was a Catholic priest, 1590 01:35:12,280 --> 01:35:17,639 Speaker 1: and here's what he shared. Meet Estella and Nicholas today 1591 01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:20,800 Speaker 1: they got married. For anyone else, this would just be 1592 01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:23,800 Speaker 1: a picture of a normal wedding day. But for these 1593 01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:26,960 Speaker 1: two there is much more than meets the eye. For them, 1594 01:35:27,160 --> 01:35:30,559 Speaker 1: this is a story of the triumph of love and hope. 1595 01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:35,040 Speaker 1: There's a nice photo of Nicholas and Estella looking very 1596 01:35:35,080 --> 01:35:39,679 Speaker 1: lovely on their wedding day. Father Goya writes, three weeks ago, 1597 01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:43,479 Speaker 1: I was approached by someone at my parish. Father, there's 1598 01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:46,160 Speaker 1: a couple who wants to get married. I'm glad to 1599 01:35:46,200 --> 01:35:48,160 Speaker 1: hear it. I said, tell them to call me and 1600 01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:50,840 Speaker 1: we will set up a meeting. Well, she said, this 1601 01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:54,479 Speaker 1: is the thing. They're in the hospital. Could you come 1602 01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:58,400 Speaker 1: see them please. I went to visit them, only to 1603 01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:01,439 Speaker 1: find out that Estella Abut, twenty six year old woman, 1604 01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:05,440 Speaker 1: had cancer that had spread all over her body. Doctors 1605 01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:09,120 Speaker 1: gave her a limited time of life. I saw her 1606 01:36:09,200 --> 01:36:12,519 Speaker 1: husband to be by her side with a sad smile 1607 01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:15,679 Speaker 1: in his eyes, asking me for hope and a miracle. 1608 01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:19,680 Speaker 1: I didn't know what to say. I can't perform miracles. 1609 01:36:19,760 --> 01:36:22,240 Speaker 1: But I listened and I did what I do best. 1610 01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:26,320 Speaker 1: I put a smile on Estella's face. Her smile brightened 1611 01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:29,880 Speaker 1: the room like I've never seen before. Yes, I told 1612 01:36:29,880 --> 01:36:32,519 Speaker 1: her when she asked me about her wedding, I will 1613 01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:36,400 Speaker 1: do the wedding. I went back home very sad. I 1614 01:36:36,520 --> 01:36:39,200 Speaker 1: never take the hard cases home with me in the hospitals, 1615 01:36:39,200 --> 01:36:42,559 Speaker 1: but this was different. I couldn't shake it off. Plus, 1616 01:36:42,600 --> 01:36:46,040 Speaker 1: I've never done an emergency wedding, so the nerves were 1617 01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:49,240 Speaker 1: pretty bad. Now I had to prepare for something I 1618 01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:52,519 Speaker 1: myself wasn't ready for. We agreed we would do a 1619 01:36:52,520 --> 01:36:55,200 Speaker 1: private wedding since she couldn't move much and had tons 1620 01:36:55,200 --> 01:36:57,880 Speaker 1: of needles. I would come to the room along with 1621 01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:01,479 Speaker 1: the witnesses and some family members. I'm not gonna lie. 1622 01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:05,280 Speaker 1: I felt really nervous. This is something they don't teach 1623 01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:10,559 Speaker 1: in seminary. The day came, I took my alb stole 1624 01:37:10,640 --> 01:37:13,360 Speaker 1: and ritual book, my holy water, of course, and I 1625 01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:16,000 Speaker 1: decided to stop at the store to buy her some flowers, 1626 01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:19,000 Speaker 1: since I didn't expect her to have many. I already 1627 01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:22,000 Speaker 1: told friends to make her feel like a bride and 1628 01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:25,839 Speaker 1: to put in a suit, I said for her groom. 1629 01:37:26,840 --> 01:37:29,680 Speaker 1: I drove to the hospital. When I got there, I 1630 01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:33,879 Speaker 1: couldn't believe what I saw. Sixty people were waiting, including 1631 01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:37,559 Speaker 1: doctors and her nurses. Estella felt so much better that 1632 01:37:37,560 --> 01:37:40,400 Speaker 1: the wedding would take place in the chapel, and she 1633 01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:43,479 Speaker 1: looked so beautiful and full of life. And there is 1634 01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:48,640 Speaker 1: a photo that he attaches of Estella looking absolutely splendid 1635 01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:52,120 Speaker 1: on her wedding day. Father writes, I gave her the 1636 01:37:52,160 --> 01:37:56,080 Speaker 1: biquet of white roses, and smiling timidly, she said, thank you, father, 1637 01:37:56,760 --> 01:37:59,479 Speaker 1: this is the dream of my life. I never thought 1638 01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:02,519 Speaker 1: I could do it before my life was over. I 1639 01:38:02,560 --> 01:38:05,439 Speaker 1: am telling you. I had to summon all my strength 1640 01:38:05,520 --> 01:38:08,400 Speaker 1: not to cry, so I just smiled back and helped 1641 01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:12,479 Speaker 1: her up. I accompanied both groom and bride to the chapel, 1642 01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:16,120 Speaker 1: which was packed before we started. I'd never paid so 1643 01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:19,280 Speaker 1: much attention to those vows. I take you for better 1644 01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:23,719 Speaker 1: and worse in sickness and health, till death do us part. 1645 01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:28,080 Speaker 1: At this point, the sniffles and the tears were louder 1646 01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:32,439 Speaker 1: than music. Staff of the hospital were amazing. They prepared 1647 01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:35,800 Speaker 1: a surprise reception in less than twenty four hours. Then 1648 01:38:35,840 --> 01:38:38,960 Speaker 1: the groom said to me, thank you Father. All I 1649 01:38:39,040 --> 01:38:41,200 Speaker 1: wanted was for God to bless my love for her, 1650 01:38:41,320 --> 01:38:45,639 Speaker 1: and it happened. I don't know what the future has 1651 01:38:45,680 --> 01:38:48,760 Speaker 1: for Estella Nicholas. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. 1652 01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:53,000 Speaker 1: But today they enjoyed the miracle of love that gives 1653 01:38:53,040 --> 01:38:57,960 Speaker 1: strength to the sick. Today, hope, faith, and love. One 1654 01:38:58,880 --> 01:39:01,880 Speaker 1: and one more day, we all gave thanks to God 1655 01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:06,559 Speaker 1: so they experience the love that conquers the hopeless heart, 1656 01:39:06,640 --> 01:39:10,599 Speaker 1: sadness and suffering, the love that brings tears of joy 1657 01:39:10,640 --> 01:39:14,200 Speaker 1: in health and illness, till death breaks the earthly bond. 1658 01:39:14,960 --> 01:39:18,120 Speaker 1: My dear friends, I love being part of your witness, 1659 01:39:18,560 --> 01:39:44,840 Speaker 1: Estella and Nicholas. God loves you. From Father Goya. Time 1660 01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:52,240 Speaker 1: to spread some freedom coast to coast. He's a lean, 1661 01:39:52,560 --> 01:40:00,599 Speaker 1: mean analysis machine. Team Buck, it's time for roll call. 1662 01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:04,120 Speaker 1: I don't even know how I would characterize that music 1663 01:40:04,200 --> 01:40:07,760 Speaker 1: we just played. It feels like it's it's multiple genres. 1664 01:40:07,960 --> 01:40:11,120 Speaker 1: It's kind of like aggressive elevator music. You know, it's 1665 01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:14,040 Speaker 1: it's the music where you're you're not supposed to hear it, 1666 01:40:14,040 --> 01:40:15,880 Speaker 1: but for a second you might catch yourself like ooh, 1667 01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:19,080 Speaker 1: I gotta sway those hips side to side with this 1668 01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:23,760 Speaker 1: elevator music. I hope you all had a great Mother's Day. 1669 01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:28,759 Speaker 1: I made my now world famous thanks to the Stephen 1670 01:40:28,760 --> 01:40:32,920 Speaker 1: Colbert Show and my world famous eggs, which I will say, 1671 01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:35,559 Speaker 1: we're delicious. The eggs I nailed because I make eggs 1672 01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:38,040 Speaker 1: almost every day, and I can tell you that I'm 1673 01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:40,599 Speaker 1: actually leaner and in better health now than I was 1674 01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:43,439 Speaker 1: when I used to eat like a big bowl of 1675 01:40:43,600 --> 01:40:46,120 Speaker 1: special K to start my day. That was also before 1676 01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:49,320 Speaker 1: I knew I had Celiac disease. But I'm not gonna 1677 01:40:49,320 --> 01:40:52,759 Speaker 1: lie to you because I did not manage to nail everything. 1678 01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:56,720 Speaker 1: We had a great Mother's Day brunch. I was with 1679 01:40:56,800 --> 01:40:59,960 Speaker 1: my siblings, my two awesome brothers, my amazing little sis, 1680 01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:03,240 Speaker 1: and my parents, Mom and Dad. And you know, we 1681 01:41:03,320 --> 01:41:05,680 Speaker 1: made mom because we have a great mom a a 1682 01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:09,080 Speaker 1: very nice Mother's Day brunch I nailed. I nailed the bacon. 1683 01:41:09,160 --> 01:41:13,240 Speaker 1: I got thick cut bacon from Italy in New York City, 1684 01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:17,599 Speaker 1: which is this Italian kind of a gourmet Italian mall 1685 01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:20,360 Speaker 1: if it's like a big super food store. But I 1686 01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:22,120 Speaker 1: got the thick cut bait. I mean, you can really 1687 01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:25,160 Speaker 1: taste the pork. It's really phenomenal. And that came out 1688 01:41:25,240 --> 01:41:27,960 Speaker 1: very well, and the eggs came out very well. And 1689 01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:30,920 Speaker 1: I got some roast potatoes too. I thought I would 1690 01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:33,400 Speaker 1: flash fry. This is where this is where I went wrong. 1691 01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:39,360 Speaker 1: I thought I would flash fry the roast potatoes. And 1692 01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:45,639 Speaker 1: sure enough they didn't get so much flash flash fried 1693 01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:52,760 Speaker 1: as flash soggy. And yeah, it wasn't really the all 1694 01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:59,439 Speaker 1: time best move that I've ever pulled off. What idiot? 1695 01:42:00,280 --> 01:42:05,760 Speaker 1: Oh what a loser? Good good more for me and you. 1696 01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:08,800 Speaker 1: But other than that, everything was great. We had a 1697 01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:12,320 Speaker 1: really good time, really enjoyed ourselves. And there you have it, 1698 01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:14,559 Speaker 1: and I hope you had a great time too.

Also 1701 01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:24,120 Speaker 1: official Team Buck at gmail dot com. One bit of business, 1702 01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:27,479 Speaker 1: I actually have to put off the announcement about why 1703 01:42:27,479 --> 01:42:30,760 Speaker 1: I'm in the swamp for one more week. It's not 1704 01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:32,400 Speaker 1: up to meet team. What can I tell you? One 1705 01:42:32,400 --> 01:42:35,519 Speaker 1: more week and then we can announce and we will 1706 01:42:35,560 --> 01:42:39,880 Speaker 1: be good to go. It's exciting stuff, that much, I 1707 01:42:39,880 --> 01:42:45,560 Speaker 1: can tell you. All Right. First, up here we have Sterling, 1708 01:42:45,600 --> 01:42:48,280 Speaker 1: who writes buck Love the show. Your analysis is the 1709 01:42:48,360 --> 01:42:52,839 Speaker 1: best out there. Something I noticed when considering the differences 1710 01:42:52,840 --> 01:42:58,160 Speaker 1: between the investigations of the Clintons her classified server and emails, 1711 01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:02,040 Speaker 1: and the Trump investigation. Didn't they offer immunity to almost 1712 01:43:02,040 --> 01:43:05,400 Speaker 1: everyone they talked to in the Hillary investigation, and their 1713 01:43:05,439 --> 01:43:08,559 Speaker 1: justification was that they just wanted to get to the truth. 1714 01:43:09,120 --> 01:43:12,760 Speaker 1: Has anyone in the Trump campaign or administration been offered immunity? 1715 01:43:12,960 --> 01:43:14,720 Speaker 1: You know, Sterling, this is a great point. It's one 1716 01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:17,680 Speaker 1: I've made before on the show in different ways, and 1717 01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:21,479 Speaker 1: I appreciate you raising it once again. And it's really 1718 01:43:22,640 --> 01:43:27,040 Speaker 1: the disparity that we see from the prosecutors on the 1719 01:43:27,360 --> 01:43:30,679 Speaker 1: investigators and prosecutors on the one side with the Clintons 1720 01:43:30,760 --> 01:43:33,160 Speaker 1: versus the way it's going on with Trump. They gave 1721 01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:36,679 Speaker 1: not just every benefit of the doubt, but really bent 1722 01:43:36,840 --> 01:43:41,200 Speaker 1: over backwards trying to make sure that there was no 1723 01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:48,240 Speaker 1: way that anyone could run a foul of a process charge, 1724 01:43:48,320 --> 01:43:51,160 Speaker 1: right of lying under oath, or obstruction or destruction of 1725 01:43:51,160 --> 01:43:53,920 Speaker 1: evidence or any of that with the Hillary probe, And 1726 01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:56,880 Speaker 1: on the Trump side of the equation, they are doing 1727 01:43:56,880 --> 01:43:59,240 Speaker 1: everything in their power to make sure that they can 1728 01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:02,919 Speaker 1: get people for those reasons. You know, the show Billions 1729 01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:05,719 Speaker 1: is pretty good in a lot of ways. Some stuff 1730 01:44:05,760 --> 01:44:07,720 Speaker 1: is a little over the top. It's a showtime show. 1731 01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:12,600 Speaker 1: I was watching it this past weekend, and you know, 1732 01:44:12,680 --> 01:44:16,879 Speaker 1: it's it's one of these shows where you finally see 1733 01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:24,680 Speaker 1: that prosecutors. Prosecutors are not, in fact these paragons of 1734 01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:32,120 Speaker 1: virtue who do not in any way have politics influencing 1735 01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:34,760 Speaker 1: or thinking. You know, you see in Billions a guy 1736 01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:39,439 Speaker 1: who is trying to become governor spoiler alert, sorry, but 1737 01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:42,360 Speaker 1: who's doing all sorts of political machinations behind the scenes, 1738 01:44:42,400 --> 01:44:46,400 Speaker 1: including those that benefit him specifically. Really interesting from a 1739 01:44:46,439 --> 01:44:49,080 Speaker 1: recent episode, by the way, was this is a total asside. 1740 01:44:49,080 --> 01:44:51,120 Speaker 1: But since I was talking about food and cooking before, 1741 01:44:51,479 --> 01:44:55,080 Speaker 1: they eat something called an ortolan on the show, and 1742 01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:56,920 Speaker 1: I will be honest with you, I had never heard 1743 01:44:56,920 --> 01:45:02,840 Speaker 1: of this before. So an ortolan is a delicacy. This 1744 01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:06,720 Speaker 1: became popular in well they say it was popular even 1745 01:45:06,760 --> 01:45:11,040 Speaker 1: an ancient Rome, but it certainly is still something that 1746 01:45:11,160 --> 01:45:16,599 Speaker 1: is liked by a certain contingent in France. It's an 1747 01:45:16,720 --> 01:45:22,320 Speaker 1: ordolon is a songbird and what they do and by 1748 01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:25,200 Speaker 1: the way, it's illegal to eat it, and it's considered 1749 01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:28,600 Speaker 1: a great mark of elitism if you ever get the 1750 01:45:28,680 --> 01:45:32,120 Speaker 1: chance to eat it. So an ordolon is this songbird. 1751 01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:34,479 Speaker 1: And when you eat it, you cover your head, and 1752 01:45:34,520 --> 01:45:36,840 Speaker 1: this was all on the show. You cover your head 1753 01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:41,160 Speaker 1: in a white napkin, a white cloth, the idea being 1754 01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:44,640 Speaker 1: to shield yourself from God. That's kind of the the 1755 01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:46,760 Speaker 1: lore behind it. Other people say it's actually just so 1756 01:45:46,920 --> 01:45:51,439 Speaker 1: you have the vapors, the sense of the food, the 1757 01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:55,360 Speaker 1: smells that come together, or it's you know, you enjoy 1758 01:45:55,400 --> 01:46:00,679 Speaker 1: it more if you have this nap over your head. 1759 01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:06,839 Speaker 1: But so, this is just a song bird that they 1760 01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:11,800 Speaker 1: keep in darkness and or they blind it. Actually it's 1761 01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:15,599 Speaker 1: a little bird and then it gorges on grains and grapes. 1762 01:46:15,640 --> 01:46:19,559 Speaker 1: It becomes incredibly fat, and then it is a thrown 1763 01:46:19,880 --> 01:46:26,320 Speaker 1: alive into a vat of armagnac brandy, so it you 1764 01:46:26,479 --> 01:46:29,160 Speaker 1: drown the bird in brandy, which then of course also 1765 01:46:29,240 --> 01:46:33,400 Speaker 1: marinates the bird after you've made it insanely fat, and 1766 01:46:33,439 --> 01:46:35,280 Speaker 1: then you eat the whole thing, kind of like a 1767 01:46:35,320 --> 01:46:37,720 Speaker 1: soft shell crab. And it's called an ortolan. And this 1768 01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:41,160 Speaker 1: is illegal everywhere. Now they're protected. In fact, the birds 1769 01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:44,040 Speaker 1: are protected. They eat it on the show Billions, though, 1770 01:46:44,040 --> 01:46:47,040 Speaker 1: because it's now considered a super secret elitist thing to 1771 01:46:47,120 --> 01:46:49,160 Speaker 1: do anyway, So I learned about ortolans from Billions. But 1772 01:46:49,240 --> 01:46:52,799 Speaker 1: more importantly, with prosecutors, you see that they are very political, 1773 01:46:52,840 --> 01:46:55,719 Speaker 1: and you get a sense of that from the show 1774 01:46:57,040 --> 01:47:02,960 Speaker 1: we have. Next up here, Vicky, who writes Shield's Hi, 1775 01:47:03,640 --> 01:47:06,080 Speaker 1: this is why God in Heaven chose Donald Trump to 1776 01:47:06,120 --> 01:47:09,120 Speaker 1: become president, to clean house with all the lies and 1777 01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:11,960 Speaker 1: corruption going on for decades. We all knew it, and 1778 01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:13,800 Speaker 1: even some on the other side knew it, but we're 1779 01:47:13,840 --> 01:47:16,679 Speaker 1: not able to speak, and probably because lives were in danger. 1780 01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:19,519 Speaker 1: This is a great and scary time to be alive 1781 01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:22,160 Speaker 1: and aware of the business in DC. Keep up the 1782 01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:24,800 Speaker 1: good work, Vicky. Well, Vicky, thank you so much. Appreciate 1783 01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:27,720 Speaker 1: the words of support, and thank you so much for 1784 01:47:28,400 --> 01:47:33,479 Speaker 1: writing it on Roll Call.

Pardon me. Hey there, Buck, 1819 01:49:12,800 --> 01:49:15,920 Speaker 1: big fan United States Marine Corps Active. I'm a fan 1820 01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:18,840 Speaker 1: of yours. And Joe Rogans would like to see you 1821 01:49:18,920 --> 01:49:21,800 Speaker 1: on his show or vice versa. He's got a really 1822 01:49:21,840 --> 01:49:24,360 Speaker 1: negative opinion on Trump, and I get that Trump is 1823 01:49:24,400 --> 01:49:27,240 Speaker 1: not perfect, but I'd like to see you set Rogan 1824 01:49:27,360 --> 01:49:30,479 Speaker 1: straight and maybe help him see the light a little. Anyways, 1825 01:49:30,520 --> 01:49:33,280 Speaker 1: take care and shields high ps. I love Rogan, but 1826 01:49:33,400 --> 01:49:36,280 Speaker 1: his Trump bashing is over the line and just drives 1827 01:49:36,280 --> 01:49:38,439 Speaker 1: me insane. Well, Joshua, first of all, thank you for 1828 01:49:38,479 --> 01:49:44,400 Speaker 1: your service. I'm always especially honored to have such a 1829 01:49:44,400 --> 01:49:50,639 Speaker 1: a fantastic contingent of active and former US military listening 1830 01:49:50,640 --> 01:49:54,120 Speaker 1: into this program. We really have. It's a core look, 1831 01:49:54,120 --> 01:49:56,599 Speaker 1: it's a core audience for US. I like to think 1832 01:49:56,600 --> 01:49:59,240 Speaker 1: it's just because of the content. Maybe it's also because 1833 01:49:59,240 --> 01:50:02,479 Speaker 1: I have a little bit of a richer understanding. I 1834 01:50:02,520 --> 01:50:04,479 Speaker 1: think of what a lot of the military goes through, 1835 01:50:04,600 --> 01:50:09,519 Speaker 1: having lived for long stretches of time on military basis 1836 01:50:10,760 --> 01:50:13,000 Speaker 1: here and abroad, having spent a lot of time in 1837 01:50:13,800 --> 01:50:17,400 Speaker 1: some of the diciers parts of the globe, a Rock 1838 01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:21,559 Speaker 1: and Afghanistan notably. So that's one other place that I 1839 01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:24,439 Speaker 1: think we or one other way that we can connect. 1840 01:50:24,479 --> 01:50:27,599 Speaker 1: As to Rogan, I'd love to do a show. And 1841 01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:30,120 Speaker 1: you know what's actually something that for those of you 1842 01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:34,040 Speaker 1: who are so interested.
