The President of United States is tired of 12 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: so many black people coming to this country, tired of 13 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: immigrants from Haiti in Africa being allowed in quote, why 14 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: are we having all these people from the whole country 15 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,559 Speaker 1: has come here? The President said today the White House, 16 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: this meeting behind closed doors, in which the President referred 17 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: to countries like Haitian countries in Africa as a whole. 18 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has shown us his dark heart, has shown 19 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: us his racism. But we cannot normalize the fact that 20 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has turned the Oval Office into our into 21 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: a morally bankrupt place. Where there are lies and division 22 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: and racism that comes out every single day. Apologize for 23 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: using this word here, but this is quote from the president. 24 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: Why are we having all these people from the whole 25 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: countries come here? I'm a proud holder. My family was 26 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: called macar leaders. We came from Italians and Irish who 27 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: were regarded as people from whole countries a century ago. 28 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: We call people slant eyes Chinese immigrants that were now 29 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: ashamed of speaking about in those terms because they came 30 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: from a whole country and now they're a backbone of 31 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: this country. Welcome to the Book Sexes Show, everybody. It 32 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: has been quite a quite a twenty four hour period 33 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,399 Speaker 1: here in the news cycle that was just we could 34 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: have probably done a whole show of just playing audio 35 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: of people cursing on TV. And reference to this statement 36 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: that the President says he used different words, but that 37 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: the overall sense that he was criticizing the immigration deal 38 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: as opposed to him was true, and that he did 39 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: call out some some countries specifically. You've got others weighing 40 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: in on this. What Senator Durban was in that meeting. 41 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: We'll talk a bit more about about him and about 42 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: what's going on with this whole situation which is completely 43 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: consuming the anti I mean, the anti Trump media. This 44 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: is all they're talking about. I've never seen so much 45 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: profanity in mainstream news. I've never seen so much, so 46 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: many people who were racing to use a four letter 47 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 1: word as often as they possibly could. And here we are. 48 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: You have journalists, so so called journalists, I don't know, 49 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: they're sometimes really pundits who are posing as journalists, who 50 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: are just straight up saying the president is a racist. 51 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: Here's one of them. This is Samon tonight. I'm Don Lemon. 52 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: The President of the United States is racist. And that 53 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: was a sentiment echoed by many different shows, many different 54 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: anti Trump media members. I think that this is a 55 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: very a very interesting point in the immigration discussion, because, 56 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: as I've been saying to you, uh Trump, Trump knows 57 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: that he can't betray his base on this, and Trump 58 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: knows that the movement of Trump is um essentially falls apart. 59 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: If there's no wall, if there's no immigration enforcement, and 60 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: if there's amnesty, it's all over. I mean at that point, 61 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how anybody sure. The economy is is 62 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: doing pretty well for now, and people would point to 63 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: that and there's some other but yeah, that's pretty mainstream 64 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: stuff what you've seen so far from Trump in terms 65 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: of republican Republican policy preferences and tax cuts, deregulation. I'm 66 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you. I don't think now a 67 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: president Rubio or Cruise or heaven forbid Ka sick. I mean, 68 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: I don't think any of them could have won. But 69 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: had they won, yeah, they'd also pushed for for tax 70 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: uts and and would be doing some of this as well. 71 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: But what was different about Trump was the immigration issue. 72 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: And here we are now in the midst of a 73 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,799 Speaker 1: discussion about it where they're just saying he's a racist, 74 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: which is really a reflection of how the left takes 75 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: this issue, how they describe this issue. Uh, and and 76 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: they're primary debate point, if you will, all throughout, which 77 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: is that opposition to immigration is inherently racist, that that's 78 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: the only reason that people might be concerned about the 79 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: vast numbers of illegal immigrants in particular, but also there's 80 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: been a tremendous influx of legal immigrants of the last 81 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: forty or fifty years or so, including from countries with 82 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: very disparate cultures from what we would call uh, well, 83 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: different cultures from ours and different even from Western civilization, 84 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: and we would like to have an open and an 85 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: honest discuss about what that means for the country. You know. 86 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: One part of this, as many of you know, listen 87 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: to the show I I I love history and and 88 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: and every time I find myself reading a history book, 89 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: it's just kind of a reminder of how many other 90 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: history books I want to read. Write. The more you 91 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: learn about your our history, the more you want to know, 92 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: and the more you realize you have to set aside 93 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: time to just begin to catch up on some of 94 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: these issues. But one thing that is true is that 95 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: a country that loses its sense of ideological cohesion is 96 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: headed for very dangerous times. And the history of a 97 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: more the history of a multi confessional, multi ideological, multi 98 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: national melting pot or mixing pot or whatever you want 99 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: to call it throughout the world has actually been generally 100 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: pretty tough. It is not a formula for continued stability. 101 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: Now in the American context, people would point out they 102 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: would say, hey, we are a country that takes people 103 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: from all over the world and they become great Americans. 104 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: And that is true. But assimilation is a process and 105 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: assimilation also requires a certain degree of buying from the 106 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: people coming to the country in the first place. And 107 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: if the first thing that immigrants are taught, for example, 108 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: is break the law, there will be no consequences. And oh, 109 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: by the way, America owes you something. America should be 110 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: doing more for you, even though you came here and 111 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: your first act on us soil was to break the law. 112 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: I don't think that makes for future immigration policy, and 113 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: I don't think that makes for a future of this 114 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: country that's particularly right. I think it's going to be 115 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: full of all kinds of conflict and uh, the dissolution 116 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: of of our polity. As they would say in a 117 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: political science class, right, our political union or political entity. 118 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: It is all just an idea. Right, countries are all 119 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: a fiction. And what you are forced to deal with 120 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: when you look at the issue of immigration as Democrats 121 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: propose it right now, if you really get down to it, 122 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: on what grounds can we tell anyone they can't come 123 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: to this country? The Democrat Party has either intentionally or 124 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: just slowly morphed over time into a party that refuses 125 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: to privilege the interests of citizens and Americans over anybody else. 126 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: If that other person is a prospective Democrat voter. And 127 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: that's what this all comes down to. It's just about 128 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: votes in power for Democrats. What it does to the country, 129 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: what it does to the debt, the economy, to our 130 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: the shared bonds of our history and our culture in 131 00:08:54,080 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: this country, Democrats don't care. They simply do not care. 132 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: And a lot of us look at what's going on 133 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: in Europe where there are substantial problems that are very 134 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: recent in the making, with large immigrant populations who do 135 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: not adopt the culture, do not adopt the legal system, 136 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: they rejected, they do not learn the language. Now I'm 137 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: not saying all of them, but enough that it is 138 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: a destabilizing force within that society. Germany, Sweden, you go through, 139 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of different countries you can look at. 140 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: And this is a problem, by the way, is only 141 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: going to increase over time. And what is the answer 142 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: that Democrats have for this? Who do the Democrats say 143 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: can't come into the country. Uh, it's not clear to 144 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: me that they believe there's anyone who shouldn't be able 145 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: to come into this country. And keep in mind that 146 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: only half the country pays income taxes. A lot of 147 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: people are in the country already who are not economically 148 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: contributing to the to the greater good. A lot of 149 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants are in the country, accessing services that they 150 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: are not supposed to and and in violation of law 151 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: in some cases and others, they're just exploiting the system, 152 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: exploiting our our goodwill toward all people. We understand there's 153 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: some circumstances, some things where you just you know, if 154 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: someone comes to the hospital, you got to treat them, 155 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: and I agree with that, but we cannot be the 156 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: world's e er and soup kitchen. There have to be 157 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: limits on this. And we wonder why it is that 158 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: this discussion immediately gets turned into screams of of racism 159 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: and on all the rest or we don't necessarily wonder 160 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: why we should just be prepared because that's what's going 161 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: to happen, and that's what is happening right now. I 162 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: want to know what all of you think about that. 163 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a Friday, so I like to 164 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: open up the lines as much as I can. So 165 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: what do you think about the president's comments? What what's 166 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: your take on He says he used tough language and 167 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: was talking about this subject. So this isn't fake news. 168 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: It may be false or exaggerated in some way. But 169 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: he said, why are we bringing people in from countries 170 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: that are in really rough shape?

So oh, which 177 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: also means that I know we're talking about something kind 178 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: of serious right now.

That's fot off quote Friday's 181 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: action movie quote Fridays eight four four eight to five, 182 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: eight four four nine hundred buck We will be right back. 183 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: When it came to the issue of quote chain migration, 184 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: I said to the President, do you realize how painful 185 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: that term is to so many people. African Americans believe 186 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: that they migrated to America in chains, and when you 187 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: speak about chain migration, it hurts them personally. And he said, oh, 188 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: that's a good line. And then when I talked to 189 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: him what the impact this has on family unification in 190 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: a nation but values families with the flag as the 191 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: most important symbols of our future. They scoffed at this notion. 192 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: It was a heartbreaking moment. Senator Dick Durbin there doesn't 193 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: know what chain migration is or where it comes from. 194 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 1: Chain migration has nothing to do with African Americans, and 195 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: as it's not, the derivation of the term has nothing 196 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: to do with African Americans who are brought to this 197 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: country through slavery. Chain migration has to do with individuals 198 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: who form a human chain, who are in this country 199 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: to bring in the rest of their families. So Dick 200 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: durban here doesn't care what the truth is, doesn't care 201 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: what reality is. He's just seeing it another opportunity to 202 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: pile on and engage in the most uh flimsy virtue 203 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: signaling it just doesn't care. He just doesn't doesn't factor 204 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: into his thinking that chain migration is not what he 205 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: seems to think it is. I don't know if he's 206 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: that dumb or if he is just pretending because it 207 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: gives him a good sound by right now, I don't know, 208 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: but it has nothing to do with with anything. Uh 209 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: he I. He's just looking for an opportunity to slam 210 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: the president and that's all that he really cares about. 211 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: Right now. With all of this, it would be interesting 212 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: if we could have a discussion actually about why don't 213 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 1: we have a merit based immigration system in this country Canada? Does? 214 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: Are all Canadians racist? Because they have a point system. 215 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: They look, they look at a person, each individual, and 216 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: they say, what are your skills, how much money do 217 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: you have, what's your background? What would you bring to 218 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: the country, and yes or no, we will let you in. 219 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: That's it. If there is no process of yes or no, 220 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: if it's just show up, especially when you've got, you know, 221 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: a welfare state like we do in this country. We 222 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: like to think of, oh, you know Europe, they've got 223 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: this crazy welfare state and everything. We got a big 224 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: welfare state in America. To everybody, we're twenty trillion dollars 225 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: in debt. We're supposed to believe that, Uh, in many cases, 226 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: illiterate immigrants from third world countries are going to be 227 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: a huge benefit to an increasingly information based economy that 228 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: already has significant wealth disparities. That's what we are. We're 229 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: supposed to think because of doing the jobs Americans won't do. 230 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: The Americans who have been doing whatever jobs they're doing, 231 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: stretching back now for a few decades, have racked up 232 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: a twenty trillion dollar tab that future generations are on 233 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: the hook for. So where does that leave us now? 234 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: If we bring a lot of unskilled labor that doesn't 235 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: speak English, never mind whether they buy into the rest 236 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: of American law, American culture, they're gonna save us. It's 237 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: not what. It's not how it's working out in Europe 238 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: where they've had labor shortages, or at least they talk 239 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: about labor shortages in places like Germany. It's it's a problem. 240 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: It has been a problem. Uh So, look, every citizen, 241 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: or rather every immigrant, needs to be judged as an individual. 242 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: I've met incredible immigrants from every country one can think of, Right, 243 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: I've met immigrants from place and in fact, and I 244 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: will you know, for you can start to rattle them 245 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: off in your in your head, right, think about it, 246 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: you know you look kit uh Cuban Americans, the Cuban 247 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: American community, this country so patriotic. Some of my close 248 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: friends and mentors in uh In when I lived in 249 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: d C. Cuban American and they fled an island that 250 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: was turned into a prison camp basically, and they're incredible Americans, right, 251 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: But they came to the process legally. They bought into 252 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: this country, and it's it should be on an individualized basis. 253 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: What we've seen here is really an argument in favor 254 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: of Americ based immigration system, not one that is certainly 255 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: what we have now, which has chained migration and the lottery. 256 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: Let's not get too crazy, and the lottery is fifty 257 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: thou people year. There's a lot of people. But in 258 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things, we've got a million new 259 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: folks each year who are permanent residents or get citizenship. 260 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: A million a year's a lot of people each year. 261 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: So looking at this process is all about doing what's 262 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: best for the American people and doing doing what's best 263 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: for future generations. And you know, this country is not 264 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: a it's not a guarantee that will continue to be 265 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: the best, the freest and everything else. We do have 266 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: to take care of our own house here a bit. 267 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: But yeah, a Cuban American immigrants, I remember I've spent 268 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: I spent some time with it with a friend of 269 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: mine years ago. Who was a Cambodian immigrant. I mean 270 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: when you've when you've had to flee, when you've had 271 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: to flee the camer rouge with your family, and then 272 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 1: America gives you safe haven. Yeah, you love America and 273 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: you certainly at the time that would have been a 274 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: you know, the camer rouge running your country. It's a 275 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: pretty crappy country, right, Let's get away from just countries 276 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: that are poor and call them crappy that that can 277 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: see them a little bit like punching down. I understand that. 278 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: But North Korea is a crappy country. I mean, it's 279 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: also poor, but it's an authoritarian police state. You know, 280 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: there there are plenty of crappy. Look, you could make 281 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: an argument that you know, in some ways, you know, 282 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: Russia's kind of a crappy country. I mean, not crappy 283 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: in the same way that these other countries are. It's 284 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: crappy in its own way, but it's got a basically 285 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: a dictator. You don't really have rule of law and 286 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: a free press. And you know, there's different levels of crappy. 287 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: I guess what I'm trying to say. And there are 288 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: plenty of Americans that will try to tell you how 289 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: terrible this place is too. So you know, talking about 290 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 1: a country is not the same thing as talking about 291 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: all the people from that country. You know, when I, 292 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: for example, when I criticize some aspects of Islamic belief, 293 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 1: which you know, people get very tense about that and 294 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: they get very angry. And you're not a Muslim, and 295 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: what do you know? And I'm not criticizing individual Muslims. 296 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: I've many people in my life, including people I've served 297 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: with overseas and and have trusted with my personal safety, 298 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: who were Muslim. What I'm talking about the ideology, the 299 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: ideological system, the same way that I wouldn't get offended 300 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: if somebody said, well, you know, Roman Catholics, they really 301 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: need to they got problems with this and that, and 302 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: it's misogynistic or whatever is they want to say. They're 303 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: talking about the ideology, they're not. At least I don't 304 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: take it as they're attacking me as a person, right, 305 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: And a nation state is an entity unto itself. It 306 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: is laws, customs, culture and ideas. It's not every single 307 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: person that's in that country. So maybe this is I 308 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: think there's a nuance that's getting lost in the conversation 309 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: of the course of the last twenty four hours or so. Uh. 310 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: But you know here we are. Wow, what a what 311 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: a moment for the media. I've never seen this is 312 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say. And by the way, 313 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: we've got every line here lits, so we will get 314 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: the calls right after the break. I promise you. I 315 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: know you're I want to hear you all way in 316 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: and got a lot of thoughts on this. If you 317 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: want to throw in an action movie quote, you can too. 318 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: But we'll talk about immigration. But I think the media 319 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: is more more up in arms about this about the 320 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: crap hole. I'll keep saying craphole instead of what was 321 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: actually said, but the craphole comment, uh, than they were 322 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: about the whole Billy Bush audio tape before the election. 323 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: I think this is I think this is the peak 324 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: of their of their outrage. So that's that's that is 325 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: saying something with this media. It really is all right, 326 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna get into your calls, So stay on hold 327 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: or give me a ring. We'll be right back. He's 328 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: holding the line for America. Buck sex in his back. 329 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: Dr King's faith and his love for humanity led him 330 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: and so many other heroes to courageously stand up for 331 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: civil rights of African Americans. Through his bravery and sacrifice, 332 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: Dr King opened the eyes and lifted the conscience of 333 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: our nation.

We're being 382 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: lectured about the racism of this country or the racism 383 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: the Republican Party or the President himself, when it's not 384 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: that we bring in some non white immigrants. We bring 385 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: in a vast majority of immigrants who are in fact 386 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: non white, which, by the way, if we're doing it 387 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: based on skills, I'm on you great. If we're doing 388 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: it based on these are people who are going to 389 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: contribute right away to the economy. I don't care what 390 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: color anybody is. That's not how we do it, though, 391 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: we do it based on who is your Do you 392 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: have family here?

Alright, every 397 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: line is let let's get into this. James in North Carolina, 398 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: welcome to freedom, hud sir, Yes, sir, yes, thank you 399 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: for taking my call book. How are you? I'm good, 400 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: Thank you for calling in good. Yeah, I just wanted 401 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,479 Speaker 1: to mention you mentioned that you're a fan of history 402 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: as am I and m My wife is a newly 403 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: sworn of marriaging citizens. Congratulations, you know, thank you so much. 404 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: We're so happy. I just believe, you know, especially the 405 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: time we had to wait for her to come to 406 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: this country. Um, some of our best immigrants. I think 407 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: that both this country from the start came from what 408 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: we would call crappy country, you know, at the time. 409 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: And I think that as long as people do it legally, 410 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: if they're going to contribute, definitely bring them. Um, you know, 411 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: I feel the same sentiment was thrown upon Irish immigrants 412 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: or the Chinese coming to work on the railroad. You know, 413 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 1: it was, oh, what are they going to bring to 414 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: this country? Just cheap way. Well, they're defendants are now 415 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: some of our senators, congressmen, major businessmen, and they were 416 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: coming for a better life. And I just don't I'm 417 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: not on board with the immigrants shaming that I feel 418 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: sometimes just going on, and I think that our country 419 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: has made up with people that sometimes came with no skills, 420 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: but learned skills and assimilated. Um, James, I know, I look, 421 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: I I appreciate all your sentiments, and I think he 422 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: makes a very very good points. I would just at 423 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,959 Speaker 1: a few thoughts of that. One is that the when, 424 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: for example, you mentioned, uh, the Chinese, I think you 425 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,199 Speaker 1: mentioned building the railroads in that period of time, and 426 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: the the Chinese Exclusion Act and all the different persecution 427 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: against the Chinese in this country as they're building railroads. 428 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: But when you're talking about a pre twenty century America, 429 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: just automatically, you're talking about a country where there was 430 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: no welfare state, there was no federal income tax, and 431 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 1: if you came you had to make it on your 432 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: own right. There was no option to show up, do 433 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 1: nothing and have the state pay for all your stuff. 434 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: I think that's an important distinction when we look back 435 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: at the historical example. You know, there's a difference between 436 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 1: pioneers and settlers. And oh I I I'd say that 437 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: I'm a persecuted minority in whatever country I come from, 438 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: and now I'm in America and I just expect to 439 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: check and food stamps and whatever else. Those are different circumstances, right. 440 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: I think we can agree that that's a difference. I'm 441 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: not saying that negates any part of what you've said, 442 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: but that's an important thing to keep in mind here. 443 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: Uh And and I think the objection that a lot 444 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: of I mean, I can't say a lot what does 445 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: that even mean? Right? But the objection that some people 446 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: people like may feel is that they are meaning the 447 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: immigration authorities right now or the Democrat Party and how 448 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 1: they pushed immigration is that they want to privilege certain countries. 449 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: And that's what's happened, for example, with temporary protected status 450 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: with Al Salvador and Haitian. Certain countries irrespective of any 451 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: one individual from that country is it's treated as special 452 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 1: because of the country. Right. So in the case of 453 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: El Salvador. We say, oh, they had a really uh, 454 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: they've had a lot of violence, or an earthquake or 455 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. It changes, and so El 456 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: Salvador goes to the front of the line because of that. Well, 457 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: that's different than saying, well, hold on a second, somebody 458 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: from El Salvador who wants to apply to be an 459 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: American and wants to really bring something to the table 460 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: and go through the process legally should be you know, 461 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: should or should not be brought into the country. Right. 462 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: That's saying the entire country gets to go to the 463 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: front line because it's in such a rough, rough shape. 464 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: Well you know that that that's if you're somebody from 465 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 1: Paraguay and just to pick a country random, you're somebody 466 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: from Vietnam, you gotta be like, hold on a second, 467 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: why do so El Salvador now has an advantage over me? Right, 468 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: because we're treating it like we view this by nation state, 469 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: not by individual. And I think that's also part of 470 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: the objection here. So when when Trump is lashing out, 471 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: he's saying, hold on a second, why or why are 472 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: we making special protections for for Haiti, for Al Salvador. 473 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: I don't know the answers. They've had natural disasters, and 474 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: but there are a lot of places that have all 475 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: kinds of We don't have a special program for Somalia. 476 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: Somalia has been basically in a state of war for 477 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: the last thirty years. Right, you know what? Why doesn't say? 478 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? So creating a special privilege 479 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: for based on nationality for countries that are doing really 480 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: badly also seems kind of countered to it and wrong. 481 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: I think it should be based on individuals. And James, 482 00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: I've been talking. Anything you want to add to it, 483 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: I wanted to give you those two thoughts. Oh no, 484 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: I just wanted to say thank you for that, and 485 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: also to you know, I believe in the merrit based system. 486 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: My wife had to wait her turn and I had 487 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: to pick the coind and learn English in her country, 488 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,479 Speaker 1: come to the United States. Now she's a productive citizen, 489 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: and it boils our blood in the house when we 490 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,479 Speaker 1: see people from her same country or other Latin American 491 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: countries show up and, like you said, become a charge 492 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: on the system. So I totally agree with what you're saying. 493 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: All right, James, thank you so much for the call. 494 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: Good to have you with us. Um, let's get to 495 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: uh Tammy in Stewart, Virginia.

Trump 499 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: has a special way in putting things and that doesn't 500 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: bother me. And sometimes strong words need to come out 501 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: our words then we might not fill and appropriate to 502 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: get attention. And this is a big deal in our country. UM. 503 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: I know we're a great country. I know we have 504 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: a lot. But as I get older, off I realized 505 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: that you know, as far as medical and housing and things. Um, 506 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: you know, it's harder and harder, and you begin to 507 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: see that as you get older and wiser. And I 508 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: feel the frustration with what Trump said because I look 509 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: at all the funding and all the things that our 510 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: country does for other countries, and yet you still have 511 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: to watch the poor people that live there and they 512 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: still have nothing. And you know, we give and give 513 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: and do for others, which is good, but it does 514 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: become frustrating because where's the money one and these poor 515 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: people that we're accused in Trump of saying that they're 516 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: they're crap. That's to me, is not what he's saying. 517 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: Because people that don't have anything from the country that 518 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: he stated, how are they going to get here anyway? 519 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: And you know we we help. Yeah, well there are 520 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: countries that are too impover I mean that are you know. 521 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: The truth is that what ends up happening, Tammy, is 522 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: that for a lot of folks, proximity the United States 523 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: is a tremendous advantage who want to immigrate here. That's 524 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: what we've seen. Right, if you're close enough to walk 525 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: or to get here by boat, Um, that's a lot 526 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: easier than if you actually have to get on an 527 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: international flight, although we do have five thousand visa over 528 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: stays a year. But Tammy, I very much appreciate you 529 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: calling in. Thank you.

The reason I called that was 531 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,239 Speaker 1: a lot of these conversations have already been said, right, 532 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: But I have no proble with someone coming here illegally 533 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: and and doing what is right, learning the language, going 534 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: towards our belief system as far as you know, uh, 535 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: getting in with the community, not establishing their own rules 536 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: and laws from their country that they came and I 537 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: have a coworker. She came from India with a special 538 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: needs child and another another daughter. She spent so much 539 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: money in lawyers and everything to get her through the 540 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, immigration process to be a legal naturalized system. 541 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: And she came with a master's in um nuclear science. 542 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: Now she doesn't do that at work, but she's she's 543 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: got a high paying job, much better than mine. And 544 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: so she is paying taxes and doing um, you know what, 545 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: what American citizen, which she owns a home. She's she's 546 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: a wonderful person. And um, they're the kind of people 547 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: that you don't mind coming into this country. And I 548 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: went through the test with her to try to get her, 549 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: you know, familiar with the answers for to become a citizen. 550 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: I don't think half or three courters of American citizens 551 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: born here could answer those. Oh yeah, absolutely, the citizenship test. 552 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: A lot of American citizens would fail the citizenship tests 553 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: if they had to take it. But Evel and I 554 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: hear you. And that's the thing. I mean, there's really 555 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: no no reasonable and moral person is opposed to an 556 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: immigrant coming to the country just because they don't like immigrants. 557 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: It's just about having an orderly process that's as fair 558 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: as it can be and that benefits the American people, 559 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: the critics extent possible.

And that's what they have 648 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: had on the lower third of CNN, I think, NonStop 649 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:38,240 Speaker 1: for twenty four hours now, a four letter word whole 650 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 1: and then countries. They cannot get enough of this. They 651 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 1: love talking about this because you know that the media 652 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: has been a little upset for a while, and they're 653 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 1: upset because their favorite subject matter is the lecturing of 654 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:55,720 Speaker 1: others on racism.

Wealthy particularly wealthy white 655 00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 1: liberals on various media channels really in joy and get it, 656 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: get a particular thrill out of talking about how everyone 657 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 1: how everyone who disagrees with them on whatever subject matter. 658 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: It's just so racist. And they're not racist, of course, 659 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 1: they being the liberal media people, they're they're not racist. 660 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: And yet you have people like Nancy Pelosi out there, 661 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: and she can say things like this, and we're all 662 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 1: supposed to just say that this is fun. This is 663 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,839 Speaker 1: part of a bigger problem. Let me let me work 664 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,320 Speaker 1: into this with you for a moment. Here. This is 665 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: what Nancy Pelosi said about some of the members of 666 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: Congress negotiating over Doka. Who's going to take this deal? 667 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 1: And then one will you know that you are? We 668 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: haven't thought. Just stay tuned, Stay tuned. I would say 669 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 1: of that McCarthy, the four four, the five white guys 670 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: that call them, you know, um, I say you can 671 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: open a Hamburger stand next or what? Um? The that 672 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 1: could have been done four months ago, the very idea 673 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,839 Speaker 1: that this week they're saying, oh, why don't we get 674 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: four white guys and General Kelly to come and do this. 675 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 1: This is part of a much larger phenomenon one I'm 676 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 1: sure many of you, all of you are familiar with, 677 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: and that is that it is considered among Democrats and leftists, 678 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: it is considered open season to mock and deride and 679 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: put down whiteness, and white Democrats will do this as 680 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 1: a means of showing that they are not they're not 681 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: a part of the problem. Right that it's others, it's Republicans, Conservatives, 682 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: traditional Christians who are white. They're the problem. They are 683 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 1: the the issue with racism in this country. And I 684 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: do think that there's a there's an overall sense that 685 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: many people have that they are sick of hearing about. 686 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 1: They're sick of a situation in which you can make 687 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,880 Speaker 1: any comment about white people. You can lecture white people 688 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: on their white privilege, demean their struggles, to mean their pain, 689 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: to mean their uh, their triumphs, say that it was 690 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 1: all handed to them, say that it's all easier for them. 691 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: Make fun of how white people, in different ways culturally 692 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: are inferior to other people. You know, white people aren't 693 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 1: good at this, or white people aren't good at that. 694 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 1: White people ruined thirty things. That was a very popular 695 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:42,759 Speaker 1: article on BuzzFeed. And this has now become a punchline 696 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,319 Speaker 1: for stupid people. Right, it's like, oh, you know, just 697 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: a bunch of oh, a bunch of white guys got together. 698 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 1: Oh there's you know, these white guys they don't know anything. 699 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:56,320 Speaker 1: Why is that? Why is it okay two limit anyone 700 00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: to their their race in terms of their respect, their recorded, 701 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 1: their case abilities. Why is mocking white people all all okay? 702 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: And I should note that for for white people who 703 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:12,240 Speaker 1: aren't leftist democrats, and also just white people in general 704 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: not allowed to make comments about anything else and anyone else. 705 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you're not not allowed to step outside if 706 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: you're you're allowed to talk about how white people are 707 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: all inherently racist, had it easier than everybody else, White privilege, 708 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 1: white splaining, all this stuff, and you can't. You can't 709 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:37,759 Speaker 1: even speak about other races, ethnicities, or anything else without 710 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: without risking firing, without risking your career, your reputation, your friends, 711 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,799 Speaker 1: your social standing, everything. I think everyone's kind of sick 712 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 1: of it. At least a lot of people are sick 713 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:52,240 Speaker 1: of it. It's a double standard that has no philosophical 714 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 1: moral grounding to it, right, It's just it's just become 715 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:01,360 Speaker 1: an accepted double standard of the media and and in 716 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: our politics. And everyone's kind of tired of it, you know, 717 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, ah ha, A bunch of white guys. And 718 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,359 Speaker 1: it's pretably white males I'm talking about here too. White 719 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 1: males are now the the punching bag on college campuses 720 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 1: for various professors, even entire classes devoted to this. I mean, 721 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,800 Speaker 1: the whole notion of white privilege is, so it is 722 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,719 Speaker 1: actually so offensive as somebody who went to a high 723 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 1: school where there were a lot of working class we'd 724 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 1: call working class whites. In my school, it was a 725 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 1: scholarship school, and it was always remarkable to me that 726 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: some of my friends who were uh, excellent students but 727 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 1: came from very difficult back I think the the average income, 728 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 1: and this is back in the nineties in my class 729 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 1: was basically the average household income was like fifty something 730 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year, which in New York City, by 731 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 1: the way, wherever you're living in the country, New York 732 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 1: is twice as expensive unless you live in the Bay Area, 733 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,759 Speaker 1: and it's basically twice as expense of his most other 734 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,319 Speaker 1: parts of the country in terms of quality of life 735 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 1: everything else. So fifty grand in New York in like 736 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 1: the nineteen mid nineteen nineties would be like living on 737 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,439 Speaker 1: twenty five grand and the rest of the country. And 738 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,360 Speaker 1: I just remember that the my fellow students, among among 739 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 1: the white students and the Asian students, it was just 740 00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 1: kind of you know, you'nna to take out a lot 741 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: of loans, and you know, your your your white privilege 742 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,360 Speaker 1: is only gonna get you so far here, I guess. 743 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,240 Speaker 1: But for the non white, non Asian students in my class, 744 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 1: including some of higher socio economics standing than the white 745 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 1: students I'm talking about, it was, you know, let's please, 746 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 1: we need more diversity at Harvard. Let's bring you in 747 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,920 Speaker 1: as fast as we can. What what do I tell 748 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 1: my friend who's you know, the got a single parent 749 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,759 Speaker 1: and his working two jobs and has better grades and 750 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,399 Speaker 1: better s a t S than one of his classmates, 751 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,120 Speaker 1: and he can't get he can't even look at some 752 00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 1: of these schools, and he's going to be drowning in 753 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 1: debt and loans for decades. But you know, he has 754 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:05,920 Speaker 1: white privilege. I think eventually people get tired of that, right, 755 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,399 Speaker 1: and we we might finally be at the point now. 756 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 1: And in large part I think it's because the Asian 757 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 1: American community is also as also kind of like, hey, 758 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,760 Speaker 1: hold on a second, what the heck is this all about. 759 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 1: You've got people that are here who are phenomenal students, 760 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,240 Speaker 1: do incredibly well, have had no leg up on anybody, 761 00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,279 Speaker 1: no special advantage. You know, some of their parents refugees 762 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,879 Speaker 1: from Vietnam, you know, came here from South Korea without 763 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 1: a dime in their pockets, whatever the case may be, 764 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,040 Speaker 1: and they're told, yeah, but you know, we we don't 765 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,359 Speaker 1: need you as much as we need some other immigrant minorities. 766 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,600 Speaker 1: Well what is that based on? Right? The whole racial 767 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:48,319 Speaker 1: cast system that the media, academia and the Democratic Party 768 00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,439 Speaker 1: and forces on us is not just tiresome now, it's 769 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,520 Speaker 1: it's wrong. It's unethical. And the notion that you should 770 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: be able to make fun of whiteness and white people 771 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,000 Speaker 1: all the time, because is ha ha ha, what what 772 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 1: message does that send? And the Nancy Pelosi, I mean, 773 00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,880 Speaker 1: look that she wasn't even a particularly egregious example of it, 774 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 1: but that we have these terms like white privilege and 775 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:15,400 Speaker 1: white splaining and people say, check your privilege. You know, 776 00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 1: there was a an say that I remember reading a 777 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,840 Speaker 1: while ago, and it was by because I read I 778 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,880 Speaker 1: just like I just like smart people. I just like 779 00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:28,320 Speaker 1: reading brilliant people. So I'll try anyone who is really knowledgeable, 780 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 1: really thoughtful from any perspective. If I find it, I'll 781 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,560 Speaker 1: try to read it. And the guy's a socialist actually, 782 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,239 Speaker 1: and he wrote a piece about how the left has 783 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 1: just completely lost its mind. He didn't say it that way, 784 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 1: but he's basically saying when they will say that you 785 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:52,879 Speaker 1: can't really understand, you can't really understand suffering the same 786 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:54,719 Speaker 1: way as a white persons as you can as a 787 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 1: non white person, that that pain and suffering is different 788 00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,160 Speaker 1: for for white people. And he went in to a 789 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 1: whole essay his name is Freddie dubor the whole essay 790 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:09,360 Speaker 1: about how he lost one parent slowly and painfully to 791 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:14,120 Speaker 1: cancer and then lost another parent slowly and uh, slowly 792 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,880 Speaker 1: painfully to cancer. And people will be like, well, but 793 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 1: you're suffering is not the same as as embattled minorities 794 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:22,879 Speaker 1: in this country or something. He goes, No, I think 795 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,759 Speaker 1: I have an understanding. I think I actually know what 796 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:28,759 Speaker 1: what suffering is, thank you very much. I think it's 797 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 1: a human thing. It's not a race or gender or 798 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:36,440 Speaker 1: ethnicity thing. And it's a very evil, Uh, it's a 799 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 1: very evil way to approach the suffering of other human beings, 800 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,320 Speaker 1: to think, well, where do you fall in this artificially 801 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 1: constructed hierarchy that's changing all the time of you know, 802 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,840 Speaker 1: who's got it, who's got it works, who's who's rougher, 803 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,839 Speaker 1: who's rougher off? More difficult for them to deal with 804 00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:01,359 Speaker 1: um and you know, it's we're reaching a point where 805 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,239 Speaker 1: people are kind of sick of it. You know, I 806 00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,239 Speaker 1: don't want to be lectured about white privilege. I don't 807 00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:09,040 Speaker 1: want to be told that, you know, opposition to affirmative action, 808 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,799 Speaker 1: or opposition to immigrations based upon national origin quota that 809 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:17,239 Speaker 1: favor third world non Christian countries for example, or you know, 810 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,360 Speaker 1: or or or non white countries specifically because they're non white, 811 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:25,319 Speaker 1: that that's not something we're allowed to talk about.

It's important part of it. 832 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,440 Speaker 1: This is, to me is just super simple. Trump is 833 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 1: a businessman. He's not thinking immigration, He's thinking HR Department. 834 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,640 Speaker 1: And you want to go get the best schools and 835 00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,839 Speaker 1: the best places to get the best people to do 836 00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,759 Speaker 1: the job. And it pisces me off that people can't 837 00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:00,160 Speaker 1: get in a room and have a conversation with upen 838 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 1: ideas and saying things, and nobody takes it out of 839 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,839 Speaker 1: the room when you when you start leaking stuff out 840 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,439 Speaker 1: those rooms, when you're having those back room conversations, then 841 00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 1: nobody everybody will shut up, nobody will nobody will express himself. Well, 842 00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:18,759 Speaker 1: it's a terrible thing that that idiot democrat did by 843 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:20,880 Speaker 1: pulling this out and making a big deal out of it, 844 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:25,399 Speaker 1: because it hurts the sausage making that needs to go 845 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,839 Speaker 1: on and keeps people from being afraid to say something 846 00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 1: because it's gonna get repeated and reported and all that 847 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:35,800 Speaker 1: kind of stuff, and that hurts the system. But Trump's 848 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,520 Speaker 1: just hiring people, and he's looking for countries to have 849 00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 1: an education system that are training their people that can 850 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,720 Speaker 1: bring something to the table and help this country be greater. 851 00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,800 Speaker 1: And the Democrats are looking for countries they have no system, 852 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:51,960 Speaker 1: and whenever they come over here, they're gonna need the 853 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 1: government's help. If they need the government's health, they're gonna 854 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:59,360 Speaker 1: vote Democrats to me it it They detrimental to this 855 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,279 Speaker 1: country for the for US to bring people over here. 856 00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,239 Speaker 1: They're all they're gonna do is lead money off the 857 00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,600 Speaker 1: top of the of the welfare system. Yeah. I've had 858 00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,880 Speaker 1: on before different experts who crunch the numbers and market 859 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,319 Speaker 1: Corey into the Center of Immigration Studies for example RB 860 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 1: and he just says, look, you got about double double 861 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:22,880 Speaker 1: the welfare and benefits usage of of immigrants into the country. 862 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,040 Speaker 1: And I mean immigrants, not even legal immigrants that you 863 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,200 Speaker 1: do for native born Americans. I mean, that's these are 864 00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,759 Speaker 1: statistics when when you're a country that's twenty trillion in 865 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 1: debt and you're worried about what your economic future is 866 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 1: gonna be. You gotta take this stuff seriously. And it 867 00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:38,319 Speaker 1: also goes to the heart of whether or not we 868 00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,040 Speaker 1: even have something that can be called the country. If 869 00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 1: you don't control your borders, who comes and goes. If 870 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,640 Speaker 1: citizenship is not something to be valued, but something that 871 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:51,320 Speaker 1: has given away freely to benefit a a ruling elite class, 872 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,400 Speaker 1: that then America it will cease to be. It is 873 00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:58,440 Speaker 1: just a matter of how quickly they're they're just wanting 874 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,040 Speaker 1: to be politically correct about who we bring over. Trump 875 00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:04,400 Speaker 1: just cares about making America great, and I see that 876 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,600 Speaker 1: in that conversation. I think, and most of Americans do. 877 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,279 Speaker 1: Only the political elite see this as an opportunity to 878 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,600 Speaker 1: be jerks about this, but the rest of us makes 879 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,720 Speaker 1: it makes perfect sense to all of us common people 880 00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:18,160 Speaker 1: out here in the field. Why would we want people 881 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:22,359 Speaker 1: to come over here that can bring nothing to the table. Yeah, 882 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,719 Speaker 1: it's it's a straight I like your HR. I like 883 00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,799 Speaker 1: your HR office analogy, because that's the way we should 884 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,360 Speaker 1: run it. That Canada's immigration system is like a giant 885 00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,719 Speaker 1: national HR office. That's how they do it, and the 886 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:37,520 Speaker 1: Canadians are very nice and nice people, not racist at all. RB. 887 00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:39,520 Speaker 1: Thank you for your thoughtful and kind call my friend, 888 00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 1: shield Tie, and have a great weekend. Uh.

All right, 891 00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,200 Speaker 1: what's up? Dave? Hey, Buck Shields, Hi, how are you 892 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:57,200 Speaker 1: field time? My friend? I'm good, good, Hey, I'm calling 893 00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,480 Speaker 1: to um. Uh. Well, first of all, let me ask 894 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:04,319 Speaker 1: a personal question. You had you had a Porterhouse at 895 00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 1: some point. When did you do that? I've had it. 896 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,400 Speaker 1: What do you mean, I've had a Porterhouse steak before. 897 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 1: I'm just look, I'm a ribby guy, all right, you 898 00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:12,360 Speaker 1: know I like what I like. I know, I know. 899 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:16,279 Speaker 1: So my my point I wanted to bring up today 900 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,880 Speaker 1: is to kind of step back from this craphole whatever 901 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,000 Speaker 1: you want to call it, different countries, uh, thing that's 902 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,399 Speaker 1: going on right here, and take the larger perspective, which 903 00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,359 Speaker 1: is this is just a war right now between left 904 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,319 Speaker 1: and right. And sorry, President happens to be on the right, 905 00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:38,200 Speaker 1: just like Bush before him. He's catching it every time 906 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,200 Speaker 1: in the media. I remember back when Bush was president 907 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:46,080 Speaker 1: and NPR would just hammer him daily. They would put 908 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:50,960 Speaker 1: up the troop numbers of folks that got killed in 909 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:56,400 Speaker 1: an action over in Iraq and Afghanistan and him every 910 00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:01,400 Speaker 1: single day. And the same thing when he started to 911 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 1: promote the idea or promote the surge, Yeah, exactly, and 912 00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,719 Speaker 1: they called it the so called surge is how they 913 00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,200 Speaker 1: phrase it. Every single time. I said, this isn't a 914 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:21,640 Speaker 1: search and so just the insidious attack daily. And it's 915 00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,719 Speaker 1: the same with Trump. He's just kidding it every time 916 00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:28,279 Speaker 1: they have an opportunity to do this, except now it's 917 00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:33,920 Speaker 1: completely magnified, you know, with every single news media outlet 918 00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,600 Speaker 1: other than Fox hammering on him. Yeah, it's an amazing 919 00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,440 Speaker 1: I mean you look at you look at the hysteria, Daves. 920 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 1: I mean, the country is doing actually really well by 921 00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,040 Speaker 1: all these different measures and metrics. You can look at businesses, 922 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 1: great economies, great employments, great, I mean all this, and 923 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,799 Speaker 1: they're acting like we're at the end of days right now. 924 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,719 Speaker 1: Though they don't believe in that biblical stuff on the left, 925 00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:55,320 Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, I mean they're acting 926 00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:59,520 Speaker 1: like we are, you know, just just days away from 927 00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,719 Speaker 1: some kind of Trump apocalypse. And I'm looking around. I'm like, 928 00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:04,680 Speaker 1: you know, things are going pretty well, man, I mean, 929 00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,600 Speaker 1: you know, what what what world are they living in? 930 00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:08,400 Speaker 1: But Dave, thank you for the call from Sacramento Goo 931 00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,480 Speaker 1: to talk to you. My friend, She'll tie you know, 932 00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,440 Speaker 1: I was just one one little side here, and that 933 00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:21,439 Speaker 1: is that the experience of being in what you could 934 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:27,920 Speaker 1: call a crappy country is something that very much, very 935 00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,560 Speaker 1: very much affects your sense of how great America is. 936 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:32,719 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's not enough to be there 937 00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:34,839 Speaker 1: for like an hour and you know then then fly 938 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:36,640 Speaker 1: out or something. I mean, you know, to really spend 939 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,560 Speaker 1: some time, spend a few weeks, maybe a few months, 940 00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:46,600 Speaker 1: in a country where there's uh really no expectation of 941 00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:51,759 Speaker 1: a government that functions without graft and theft and corruption, 942 00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,839 Speaker 1: Where you can't trust the police, where the police don't 943 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 1: come even if you call them, where if they do come, 944 00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,439 Speaker 1: they're just as likely to shake you down or maybe 945 00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:01,560 Speaker 1: even do you harm as any bad guys that are 946 00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,880 Speaker 1: in your home. Where there's raw sewage in the streets, 947 00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,719 Speaker 1: where there aren't street lights, where you don't really have 948 00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:13,759 Speaker 1: much in the way of cell phone signal and very 949 00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:18,000 Speaker 1: little in the way of of WiFi, Where kids walk around, 950 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:21,760 Speaker 1: sometimes up to their ankles in raw sewage and runoff, 951 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:27,280 Speaker 1: where indoor plumbing is a rarity, where electricity is a luxury. 952 00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:32,120 Speaker 1: There are where where people die of diseases that we're 953 00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,800 Speaker 1: essentially eradicated in the developed world, have been cured for 954 00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:38,760 Speaker 1: over a century. There are places I've been in places 955 00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,520 Speaker 1: like that. There are places like that in this world, 956 00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:49,360 Speaker 1: and it is ah very perspective changing and perspective shaping 957 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,840 Speaker 1: to spend some time in it, because when you come 958 00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:54,400 Speaker 1: back to this country that we are in, I don't 959 00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:57,280 Speaker 1: care if you are in the roughest inner city or 960 00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,960 Speaker 1: the poorest parts of the rust belt or whatever. This 961 00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:07,760 Speaker 1: place is incredible. I the the cleanliness, this technology, the services, 962 00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:12,480 Speaker 1: the legal system, the food, the medicine. I mean, America 963 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:16,240 Speaker 1: is amazing. And you really, I'm just putting it out there. 964 00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:17,680 Speaker 1: And I know many of you have spent time in 965 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,800 Speaker 1: places like this, But if you ever do find yourself 966 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:22,240 Speaker 1: in when you'll see what I mean, if you're in 967 00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,000 Speaker 1: a truly impoverished third world country and in the parts 968 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: of it where no tourists would ever go, changes the 969 00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:34,080 Speaker 1: way you view this country forever. So that's something to 970 00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,360 Speaker 1: think about here we'll be back with more calls and 971 00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:50,280 Speaker 1: more to talk about, just a few other shows. Just 972 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:53,440 Speaker 1: talk at you in the Freedom Hunt. We have a mission. 973 00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,320 Speaker 1: We fight for the truth in a team effort and 974 00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:02,040 Speaker 1: buck us back with our next play time. Do you 975 00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:05,560 Speaker 1: think the coverage of Donald Trump has overcorrected? That is, 976 00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,800 Speaker 1: do you think yes, and we're over our skis and 977 00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna hurt us. Yes, we've overstepped. We're over our skis. 978 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,920 Speaker 1: We are to not we the entire mainstream media. We 979 00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:24,600 Speaker 1: are reflexively anti trump um on all things. Look at 980 00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:30,000 Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough there on the Katie Kirk podcast, because yeah, 981 00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,320 Speaker 1: I want to hear Katie Kurrik's opinions. They're gonna Katiekirk 982 00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,520 Speaker 1: very lucky person to have had the job she did 983 00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:37,640 Speaker 1: when she did, because I've never heard her say anything 984 00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:42,240 Speaker 1: interesting in my life. But I gotta say, Scarborough, at 985 00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,640 Speaker 1: least it is correct on this right. Let's call it 986 00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:48,800 Speaker 1: what it is, saying that the media is reflexively and 987 00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:52,920 Speaker 1: almost psychotically anti Trump. I think Morning Joe's as a 988 00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,880 Speaker 1: show not as bad as some others, but it's also 989 00:59:55,880 --> 01:00:00,560 Speaker 1: pretty reflexively and insanely anti Trump. But it's not gonna 990 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,880 Speaker 1: get any better after this. I should note though I 991 01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:06,080 Speaker 1: have not I will say that I have not seen 992 01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,560 Speaker 1: or heard from and I talked to a lot of 993 01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:11,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people listen to the show or in 994 01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:14,560 Speaker 1: constant contact with me via Facebook or email. I got 995 01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:19,320 Speaker 1: a lot of friends in the media, you know, writers, journalist, reporters, 996 01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:23,960 Speaker 1: all that no one who's pro Trump has seen this 997 01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,560 Speaker 1: whole exchange, over the crap, whole countries, and it's like, 998 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,680 Speaker 1: this is it for me. I'm done, which is pretty 999 01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,320 Speaker 1: amazing when you think about I mean, I'm just it's anecdotal. 1000 01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:35,520 Speaker 1: I understand. I'm not giving you a scientific study here, 1001 01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,920 Speaker 1: but I haven't heard from anyone yet that they're like, 1002 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,400 Speaker 1: you know what, this is too much, He's gone too far. 1003 01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:45,520 Speaker 1: I'm done with Trump over this. Meanwhile, if you're anti Trump, 1004 01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:49,520 Speaker 1: this is now what we're we're in. It's like Dante's 1005 01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,440 Speaker 1: Inferno and this is the ninth circle of Hell. I mean, 1006 01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,040 Speaker 1: this is the worst of the worst of the worst. 1007 01:00:55,920 --> 01:01:01,200 Speaker 1: Greg in Oklahoma City, It's ranger, Greg, isn't it. Buck. 1008 01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,439 Speaker 1: How's it going today? I'm good, brother, Thank you for calling, 1009 01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,800 Speaker 1: and always good to talk to you. Absolutely, man um, 1010 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,800 Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about this little spat between 1011 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:14,360 Speaker 1: Brett Stevens of New York Times and are a steamed 1012 01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:18,520 Speaker 1: friend Tommy A. Vitter Um, who was a formal National 1013 01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:24,080 Speaker 1: Security Council spokesman for the Obama administration, and this theory 1014 01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:29,280 Speaker 1: that Obama administration people had tipped off the Israeli or 1015 01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,920 Speaker 1: excuse me, the Iranians, that the Israelis we're going to 1016 01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 1: kill or assassinated, if you will, general solemnity. And I 1017 01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,800 Speaker 1: find it interesting that many of the players in this 1018 01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:46,280 Speaker 1: um have no experience in foreign policy at all. I mean, 1019 01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:49,280 Speaker 1: vitter Is it was just in college and had a 1020 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:51,439 Speaker 1: b A. And it was just like a van driver, 1021 01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,960 Speaker 1: I guess for UM, Obama for America, and then all 1022 01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:58,120 Speaker 1: of a sudden, in a few short years later, is 1023 01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:03,120 Speaker 1: a natural security spokesman with no actual experience in national security. 1024 01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,720 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh no, he's first of all, he's the 1025 01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:10,480 Speaker 1: guy who's like, dude, Benghazi was like two three years ago. Bra, 1026 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,720 Speaker 1: that was Tommy vitor Uh. If you remember that that 1027 01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,919 Speaker 1: exchange from that was on national television, I'll never forget. 1028 01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:20,240 Speaker 1: There's like it was like two years ago. Hang ten. Uh. 1029 01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:22,600 Speaker 1: So here's here's the exchange. Let me let me get 1030 01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:24,160 Speaker 1: into it a bit. I've I've been reading about this. 1031 01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:25,920 Speaker 1: I had a feeling this is what would happen with it. 1032 01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,480 Speaker 1: So you had Brett Stevens, who is a former Wall 1033 01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:34,919 Speaker 1: Street journal never Trump, current New York Times editorialist. He 1034 01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:38,200 Speaker 1: leans right, but he's never He's he's never Trump like Trump. 1035 01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:42,680 Speaker 1: If Trump wears a blue suit, Brett Stevens wants to 1036 01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:44,880 Speaker 1: wear a gray one. Right, It's it's like he is 1037 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:48,880 Speaker 1: never Trump in a way that's a a sickness. But 1038 01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:53,520 Speaker 1: he's now the New York Times, and he raised an 1039 01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,880 Speaker 1: r he he tweeted out an article from how Arts, 1040 01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:02,360 Speaker 1: which is an Israeli left newspaper, and in Hearts they 1041 01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:06,840 Speaker 1: cited I believe it was a Kuwaiti sourced claim. So 1042 01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,680 Speaker 1: take that for whatever it's worth. That the Obama administration 1043 01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:15,480 Speaker 1: had given heads up somehow to Custom Solimani, who's the 1044 01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,120 Speaker 1: head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the i r 1045 01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:22,240 Speaker 1: g C, which everybody listening is the is the kind 1046 01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:27,440 Speaker 1: of the crazy revolutionary henchman of the Iranian regime. Think 1047 01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:32,200 Speaker 1: of it that way. You know, if if there were like, uh, 1048 01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,520 Speaker 1: it's like the the equivalent if they could create you know, 1049 01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:39,360 Speaker 1: spec ops jihadis. That's what the I r g C 1050 01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:43,400 Speaker 1: is and the head of it, Custom Solimani, has been 1051 01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:47,000 Speaker 1: involved in all kinds of bad stuff, including with the 1052 01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 1: I r g c S ties to what was going 1053 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,640 Speaker 1: on with the Shia militias in Iraq. Greg, I know 1054 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:54,640 Speaker 1: you served in Iraq. You were a sniper, uh some 1055 01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:57,120 Speaker 1: years ago. They were the guys that were helping get 1056 01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,960 Speaker 1: all the e f P s, the explosively formed penetrate. 1057 01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:04,640 Speaker 1: There's these cylindrical explosive devices that create a it's almost 1058 01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:08,520 Speaker 1: like a shooting a stream of molten magma in a 1059 01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:12,240 Speaker 1: sense through the hulls of armored vehicles that maimed and 1060 01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:15,480 Speaker 1: killed a lot of U S servicemen. So Consum solomany 1061 01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:19,200 Speaker 1: Is is human refuse and the world would be a 1062 01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,360 Speaker 1: better place if we took him out. That the Obama 1063 01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:26,960 Speaker 1: administration allegedly may have given him a heads up would 1064 01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,720 Speaker 1: just be another data point that the Obama and his 1065 01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:33,120 Speaker 1: people were so desperate to get a deal with Iran 1066 01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:37,800 Speaker 1: that they would even possibly betray an intelligence source or 1067 01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:41,680 Speaker 1: betray a method of getting information to give Cosum Solomania 1068 01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:44,320 Speaker 1: heads up that some other country was going to try 1069 01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:47,360 Speaker 1: to take him out. Well, that obviously got people's attention. 1070 01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,960 Speaker 1: Now as to Greg, your question about whether it's true 1071 01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:55,800 Speaker 1: or not, Vtour and Uh and Stevens went back and forth. 1072 01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,680 Speaker 1: Ben Rhodes also was pulled into this because Stevens is like, 1073 01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:00,760 Speaker 1: do you guys want to comment on this? And v 1074 01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:05,000 Speaker 1: Tour and Ben Rhodes, who is Obama's national security propagandist, 1075 01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:09,280 Speaker 1: UH mocked Stevens for even raising it, and they had 1076 01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:11,640 Speaker 1: something of a back and forth there, and effectively they're 1077 01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:16,440 Speaker 1: saying it's not true that it never happened. I don't know, Greg, 1078 01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:18,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I wasn't in government at the time, and 1079 01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,080 Speaker 1: you know, so I don't know if it's true or not. 1080 01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:25,760 Speaker 1: A Kuwaiti source Israeli Daily newspaper article. I mean, you know, 1081 01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:29,320 Speaker 1: maybe maybe not, who knows, But I would say that 1082 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,560 Speaker 1: I would find it at least theoretically believable that the 1083 01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,200 Speaker 1: Obama administration would do that. And what was even more 1084 01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:40,240 Speaker 1: interesting was that these two senior Obama administration officials thought 1085 01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:45,280 Speaker 1: it was completely beyond the pale that taking out the 1086 01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,000 Speaker 1: leader of the Kods Force, which is a terrorist organization, 1087 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,200 Speaker 1: they think that's just insane, and they that was what 1088 01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:54,040 Speaker 1: was interesting in the exchange. So you know, they're like, 1089 01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:56,640 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, killing an Iranian leader, like we would 1090 01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,600 Speaker 1: ever do that? Um. First of all, you know, if 1091 01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:01,600 Speaker 1: we could have taken Saddam out in the early days 1092 01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:04,200 Speaker 1: and one of those palaces with a big bomb, I'm sure, 1093 01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure we would have been perfectly happy to do that. 1094 01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:08,160 Speaker 1: And second of all, he's a I mean, the IRG 1095 01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:12,040 Speaker 1: season designated terrorist organization, and Consum Solimani has American blood 1096 01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:14,439 Speaker 1: on his hands. You know, if I had the choice 1097 01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:16,880 Speaker 1: to drop a jade m on on Cossum Solimani, I 1098 01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:20,680 Speaker 1: know which, I know which answer i'd give Greg. Yeah, 1099 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:22,680 Speaker 1: I think that. I think it was interesting too that 1100 01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:27,080 Speaker 1: they both have defended, uh, the idea that Israel shouldn't 1101 01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:29,080 Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, sorry, Israel was the country that was 1102 01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:30,920 Speaker 1: that was, you know, according to this article, going to 1103 01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,320 Speaker 1: take out Costam Solomany. And you know, I would look 1104 01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,240 Speaker 1: at this and I'd say, well, if Israel is going 1105 01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:39,480 Speaker 1: to take out, you know, a senior Hamass operative, why 1106 01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:41,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't they want to take out a senior ir GC 1107 01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:45,040 Speaker 1: operative exactly? And I think Ben Rhodes's tweet in that 1108 01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:47,680 Speaker 1: whole exchange was kind of telling he he just said 1109 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:49,960 Speaker 1: it was outrage Is that you would even suggest it? 1110 01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:53,880 Speaker 1: Not that No, they didn't do it. UM. I think 1111 01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:57,160 Speaker 1: if somebody would accuse me of something that crazy, I 1112 01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:58,880 Speaker 1: would be like, no, I absolutely did not do that. 1113 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,360 Speaker 1: Not no, that not rageous claim. How could you ever 1114 01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 1: think of propagating that? Um. It is an interesting play 1115 01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,320 Speaker 1: of words that those you know, the Ben Rhodes and 1116 01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,640 Speaker 1: Tommy of your type of people have a habit of 1117 01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:14,600 Speaker 1: doing UM, using words very selectively and carefully in choosing, 1118 01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,080 Speaker 1: you know, how they what sort of message they want 1119 01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:23,360 Speaker 1: to display. UM. And Tommy's defense of general somomy solomony 1120 01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:27,440 Speaker 1: is absolutely crazy and insane because, like you said, he 1121 01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,800 Speaker 1: does have the blood of thousands of Americans. We know 1122 01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:32,320 Speaker 1: of at least five hundred that were killed with those 1123 01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:35,160 Speaker 1: e f P s UM and I know personally a 1124 01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,920 Speaker 1: couple of friends that are missing limbs, in arms and 1125 01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:40,960 Speaker 1: legs because of these things. I mean, UM. For people 1126 01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:42,960 Speaker 1: that don't know, an e FP, like you said, is 1127 01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:47,160 Speaker 1: molten steel and whatnot, and copper usually is shot at 1128 01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:50,080 Speaker 1: twenty two per second, so it's going through these things. 1129 01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:54,120 Speaker 1: It's a shape charge specifically meant to puncture US armored 1130 01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:57,080 Speaker 1: vehicles and kill our guys. And the Iranians were handing 1131 01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,560 Speaker 1: those two Shia militia's to kill our guys, and we 1132 01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:02,280 Speaker 1: should have been taken out as many of them as 1133 01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:05,320 Speaker 1: we could. And I know some people that were involved 1134 01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:08,440 Speaker 1: in dealing with those e FP networks. God bless them 1135 01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:11,040 Speaker 1: for doing it. But it's something that we should not 1136 01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:13,439 Speaker 1: we should not forget any time soon. And you know, look, 1137 01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,360 Speaker 1: I wish, I wish. Now we're getting into the rock stuff, Greg, 1138 01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:17,960 Speaker 1: you're not gonna have a beer and talk about this sometime. 1139 01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:19,720 Speaker 1: All the mom would have to be gluten free. But 1140 01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:24,280 Speaker 1: you know, Muktada should have taken out that evil, that 1141 01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:29,400 Speaker 1: evil tub of vileness. Any chance that we should have, 1142 01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:31,960 Speaker 1: we should have helped we could. If it's an interesting 1143 01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,400 Speaker 1: theory that we could have, they would have pushed. It. 1144 01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:37,160 Speaker 1: Doesn't surprise me if it did happen, because again the 1145 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:40,800 Speaker 1: obamists administration just rolled over at any cost to get 1146 01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:44,479 Speaker 1: that Iranian deal deal done. So I mean it's something 1147 01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:47,360 Speaker 1: to think about. Yeah, Costum, Silmani, Matad all Sodder, these 1148 01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:48,880 Speaker 1: are people that you know, if we could take off 1149 01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,040 Speaker 1: the battlefield, we should, Greg, thank you for service.

And I didn't do any of that stuff. Yeah. No, 1169 01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:47,360 Speaker 1: No one is like smearing rotten eggs on Buck's face 1170 01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,000 Speaker 1: after making him drink, you know, out of a keg 1171 01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:52,479 Speaker 1: until he vomits on himself or something that's never happening. 1172 01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:54,760 Speaker 1: And that stuff happens in a lot of fraternities just 1173 01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:56,920 Speaker 1: and I don't even want to get into the sorority stuff, 1174 01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,559 Speaker 1: so I just don't do it. That's that's advice for 1175 01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:04,240 Speaker 1: all the young team puck out there. You're you're too cool, 1176 01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:08,719 Speaker 1: too worthwhile, and too interesting and individual to get sucked 1177 01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:13,080 Speaker 1: into some constrained social environment that's really just revolves around 1178 01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:15,920 Speaker 1: a lot of of binge drinking. That's my opinion. People 1179 01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,120 Speaker 1: can say I'm wrong, but if it were up to me, 1180 01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:21,600 Speaker 1: I would. I would all on campus fraternities and sororities 1181 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:26,160 Speaker 1: across the country. I'd probably say ah later, all right, 1182 01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:28,439 Speaker 1: that was just out of nowhere. But I saw that, 1183 01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:30,200 Speaker 1: and that just it's just so upsetting. This nineteen year 1184 01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:32,760 Speaker 1: old kid died at a fraternity. You know, what do you? 1185 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,719 Speaker 1: What do you? What are you idiots around him doing? First? 1186 01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:38,040 Speaker 1: First priority? Always we're with people. First party is gonna 1187 01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:40,080 Speaker 1: be everyone's okay, you're supposed to be socializing. No one's 1188 01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:43,800 Speaker 1: supposed to die. Good God, And I'm very anti Greek. 1189 01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:45,840 Speaker 1: I'm very anti Greek life. I'll just put it out there, 1190 01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:53,000 Speaker 1: so all right, we'll be right back. Fake news better 1191 01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:57,719 Speaker 1: running high because the buck Sexton Show is back. Rebecca 1192 01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:04,840 Speaker 1: in New Hampshire. What's going on, Rebecca do Hey? So 1193 01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:09,280 Speaker 1: I've spent quite a bit of time in Haiti and 1194 01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:13,240 Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about um, the president choice 1195 01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:16,479 Speaker 1: of words. If those were the the actual words that 1196 01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:20,800 Speaker 1: he used. Um, I think he could have used a 1197 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:24,000 Speaker 1: better choice of words. However, I can understand why he 1198 01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:29,320 Speaker 1: said what he said. Tell us why if that makes 1199 01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:32,719 Speaker 1: any sense. Well. One of the things I've learned after 1200 01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:36,200 Speaker 1: spending a tremendous amount of time in Haiti working to 1201 01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:39,479 Speaker 1: help people start small businesses a way of a hand 1202 01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:45,200 Speaker 1: up instead of a hand out, is that their education system, 1203 01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:50,960 Speaker 1: though it's all run by nonprofits, is decent for what 1204 01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:54,479 Speaker 1: they're used to. When friends of mine from Haiti, even 1205 01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:57,160 Speaker 1: ones that have worked for the u n as translators, 1206 01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:00,040 Speaker 1: come to the United States on a green car and 1207 01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:03,160 Speaker 1: they basically feel as though they have to start all 1208 01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:06,599 Speaker 1: the way back in elementary school all over again, because 1209 01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:11,000 Speaker 1: even with a degree from a university in Haiti, they 1210 01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:13,679 Speaker 1: can't get a job in the United States, so they 1211 01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:17,000 Speaker 1: inevitably end up with a very low paying job and 1212 01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:22,600 Speaker 1: have to receive government assistance. And this is one of 1213 01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:25,400 Speaker 1: the reasons why I encourage my Haitian friends to not 1214 01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:28,639 Speaker 1: come to the United States, to stay in their own country, 1215 01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:32,000 Speaker 1: get the best education they can, and to help make 1216 01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:36,280 Speaker 1: their own country better rather than coming here and working 1217 01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:40,880 Speaker 1: a minimum wage job and living off of the federal government. Yeah. Well, 1218 01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:44,280 Speaker 1: brain drain from countries into the US, particularly poor countries 1219 01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:47,960 Speaker 1: that could really use as much of their own Uh, 1220 01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:53,320 Speaker 1: you know, indigenous entrepreneurship as possible is a real issue, absolutely, 1221 01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:55,640 Speaker 1: And if you look at I know, one of the 1222 01:12:55,680 --> 01:13:01,639 Speaker 1: things being discussed lately is um TPR and folks having 1223 01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:03,120 Speaker 1: to go back. And it was a couple of months 1224 01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:07,439 Speaker 1: ago that the the Haitians on t p I they 1225 01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:10,040 Speaker 1: were gonna say, are going to have to start returning back. 1226 01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:12,839 Speaker 1: And I have Haitian friends here in the United States, 1227 01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:15,640 Speaker 1: and and they were interviewing a lot of Haitians on 1228 01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:18,559 Speaker 1: the radio who had been here since they were children, 1229 01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:21,120 Speaker 1: had gone out and gotten degrees, are working very very 1230 01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:22,840 Speaker 1: good jobs, and they have to go back, and they're 1231 01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:27,479 Speaker 1: saying it's not there. Our country doesn't have jobs for 1232 01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:31,599 Speaker 1: us there, and our country. We can't make a living. 1233 01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:36,400 Speaker 1: And my response to that is go back and improve 1234 01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:39,400 Speaker 1: the economy. You now have the skills to do that. 1235 01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:43,519 Speaker 1: Is there are a that you can country out of poverty? 1236 01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:45,479 Speaker 1: Is there a way that you could just I mean, 1237 01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:48,360 Speaker 1: we you know, we've got to We're gonna be at 1238 01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:49,800 Speaker 1: the top of the hour here a second, so I 1239 01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,200 Speaker 1: need to move. But just real quick, um, if people 1240 01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:55,479 Speaker 1: want to understand how poor I think people think of poverty. 1241 01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:57,600 Speaker 1: They think of like a rundown part of town. You know, 1242 01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,240 Speaker 1: a lot of people particularly haven't left the country. Hey, 1243 01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:03,519 Speaker 1: is is poor? Actually in a in a global sense? 1244 01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:05,360 Speaker 1: Meaning I believe Haiti is one of the ten poorest 1245 01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:07,800 Speaker 1: in fact, maybe one of the five poorest countries in 1246 01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:10,559 Speaker 1: the world per capita. What is that? How does that 1247 01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,760 Speaker 1: manifest itself? What's it like when you're there? Well, when 1248 01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:16,360 Speaker 1: I am there, I actually live out in the provinces. 1249 01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:19,080 Speaker 1: I don't live in Port of Prince. I live out 1250 01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:22,840 Speaker 1: in the countryside uh In. Sometimes I've been there in 1251 01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:26,280 Speaker 1: a tent through hurricanes, but generally it is in a 1252 01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:33,599 Speaker 1: center block or um stick built with mud structure. Um 1253 01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:36,600 Speaker 1: Sometimes families as large as ten people will live in 1254 01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:41,559 Speaker 1: two very small rooms. Uh no, running water. Electricity is 1255 01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:46,760 Speaker 1: through a solar panel. Um, your bathroom is a you know, 1256 01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:50,439 Speaker 1: a long drop out back. You are bathing out of 1257 01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:54,080 Speaker 1: a bucket of water with a cup, and that is 1258 01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:59,760 Speaker 1: how you're surviving. And even inside porter prints where I 1259 01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:04,519 Speaker 1: have day now and then you might have electricity turned 1260 01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:08,080 Speaker 1: on three hours a day and that is it. So 1261 01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:14,160 Speaker 1: we're talking bare bones. Refrigeration is highly unusual out in 1262 01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:20,680 Speaker 1: the countryside. Um. Everything is cooked over charcoal. Um that 1263 01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:23,880 Speaker 1: is made in the country, which is stripping the landscape, 1264 01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:26,679 Speaker 1: which leads to the mud flides and so on. But 1265 01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:30,479 Speaker 1: you know, unless you're in very small pockets in the country, 1266 01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:34,760 Speaker 1: you've never even been inside a regular store. It's all 1267 01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:39,439 Speaker 1: outside marketplaces. So we're talking the poor of the poor 1268 01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:41,519 Speaker 1: people who are in the United States. Unless you're in 1269 01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:46,080 Speaker 1: very specific areas in the United States, will never understand 1270 01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:48,759 Speaker 1: what it's like to be in Haiti.

This week in the Freedom 1303 01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:24,720 Speaker 1: Hunt brings a tear to my eye. The only thing 1304 01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,479 Speaker 1: that makes me happy is that we'll be together next 1305 01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:29,559 Speaker 1: week here in the Freedom Hunt, of course.

But I don't want 1313 01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:50,880 Speaker 1: to sound like a hypochondriac, somebody who is always worried 1314 01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:53,800 Speaker 1: about being sick. Well maybe I kind of am. It's 1315 01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:56,120 Speaker 1: also called being a New Yorker. I think we tend 1316 01:17:56,120 --> 01:18:01,439 Speaker 1: to have high anxiety about catching colds and flues because 1317 01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:03,560 Speaker 1: we're in the subway and these huge office buildings that 1318 01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:05,439 Speaker 1: were surrounded by people in the street all the time, 1319 01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:09,800 Speaker 1: and you just you can see how the virality of 1320 01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:13,160 Speaker 1: a virus is a very real thing. And sure enough, 1321 01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:16,920 Speaker 1: I mentioned to you earlier on in the week that 1322 01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:19,439 Speaker 1: I got a flu shot, only to find out that 1323 01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:23,640 Speaker 1: the flu shot for this year is something like effective 1324 01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:27,839 Speaker 1: against the actual flu. And now we're already seeing reports 1325 01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:32,720 Speaker 1: that this is the worst flu in years, where the 1326 01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:36,519 Speaker 1: health officials this is this was linked up on Drudge. 1327 01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:39,839 Speaker 1: I think it's an ap piece. The entire continental United 1328 01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:44,360 Speaker 1: States is experiencing wide spread flu right now, the first 1329 01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:47,240 Speaker 1: time in the thirteen years of the current tracking system 1330 01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,719 Speaker 1: that has happened. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 1331 01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:52,640 Speaker 1: officials said that this flu season is shaping up to 1332 01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:56,120 Speaker 1: be one of the worst. The rate of flu hospitalizations, 1333 01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:59,120 Speaker 1: the number of people hospitalized with flu per hundred thousand 1334 01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:04,080 Speaker 1: nearly doubled last week compared with the previous week. So 1335 01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:06,919 Speaker 1: last week it was twenty two point seven per hundred thousand. 1336 01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,599 Speaker 1: This week the rate was thirteen I'm sorry. The week 1337 01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:14,559 Speaker 1: before the rate was thirteen point seven Uh, this is 1338 01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:16,439 Speaker 1: not the kind of thing that I right, well, I 1339 01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:18,200 Speaker 1: know no one wants to see anything like this. This 1340 01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:22,719 Speaker 1: is this is bad news. The influenza influenza A virus 1341 01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:25,000 Speaker 1: H three and two has caused the lion's share of 1342 01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:27,720 Speaker 1: the illness in most parts of the country this year. Now, 1343 01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:30,360 Speaker 1: why am I bring this up? One Because I'm sharing 1344 01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:33,160 Speaker 1: my anxiety over getting the flu again this year after 1345 01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:36,200 Speaker 1: having gotten nailed with it last year. As I told you, 1346 01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:39,840 Speaker 1: and there's nothing really that teaches humility. I always say 1347 01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:42,080 Speaker 1: this to people. You know, you don't know, nothing teaches 1348 01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:44,519 Speaker 1: you humility as fast as either having the flu or 1349 01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:47,800 Speaker 1: food poisoning. Because all, no matter how big and tough 1350 01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:51,799 Speaker 1: or cool and smooth or you know, pretty and amazing 1351 01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:54,800 Speaker 1: whatever you think you are, when that flu comes on 1352 01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:57,360 Speaker 1: and you're shaking under the covers and then sweating and 1353 01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:00,120 Speaker 1: shaking and sweating, and your fevers like a hundred who 1354 01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,080 Speaker 1: are a hundred and three? Yeah, you realize we're all 1355 01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:06,120 Speaker 1: We're all fragile little butterflies in this world. We're all 1356 01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:09,880 Speaker 1: we are snowflakes, and that it is easy to melt us. Uh, 1357 01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:14,559 Speaker 1: it's it's a reminder of our fragility. As as human beings. 1358 01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:18,040 Speaker 1: But it also is for me a reminder that of 1359 01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:21,479 Speaker 1: all the things that I would like government to be 1360 01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:23,840 Speaker 1: better at or to to do, maybe a little more 1361 01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:27,160 Speaker 1: of curing pandemic disease should be a lot higher on 1362 01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:30,520 Speaker 1: the list. Every time I see some big ticket fundraiser 1363 01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:33,000 Speaker 1: about climate change and they're like, white could die in 1364 01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:36,519 Speaker 1: a hundred years because the water is gonna rise. And 1365 01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:38,360 Speaker 1: you know, if you don't have like a canoe or 1366 01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:40,680 Speaker 1: a kayak or something, you know, it's just gonna get 1367 01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,880 Speaker 1: higher and higher than water. I want to yell and say, 1368 01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:46,439 Speaker 1: I've got an idea. Why don't you guys deal you 1369 01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:49,720 Speaker 1: guys being the federal government centers for disease control, why 1370 01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:54,960 Speaker 1: don't you deal with the possibility of pandemic influenza and 1371 01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:57,479 Speaker 1: try to get ahead of that problem, because it is 1372 01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:02,000 Speaker 1: just a matter of time. When I mentioned before the 1373 01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,799 Speaker 1: Spanish influenza, which they believe was started in the Midwestern 1374 01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:11,400 Speaker 1: United States in UH nineteen eighteen ors or so nighteen, 1375 01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:14,479 Speaker 1: I forget right around there, and it killed tens of 1376 01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:16,639 Speaker 1: millions of people around the world. People die every year 1377 01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:19,760 Speaker 1: from the flu. Usually they're either very young or on 1378 01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:24,400 Speaker 1: the older side, but that in the nineteen teens, you 1379 01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:29,040 Speaker 1: could have the rapid spread and progression of if IRUs 1380 01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:32,120 Speaker 1: like that that would kill so many people. Now add 1381 01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:37,759 Speaker 1: on to it, not instantaneous, but twenty four hour global travel. 1382 01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:40,640 Speaker 1: Instantaneous would be like Star Trek where the guy just 1383 01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:44,639 Speaker 1: appears somewhere else. That would be cool, though, but global 1384 01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:48,200 Speaker 1: travel is now the norm, and so one person and 1385 01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:53,800 Speaker 1: also just the concentration of human beings in particularly large cities. Look, 1386 01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:55,840 Speaker 1: this is the stuff, you know. We all have our 1387 01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:58,320 Speaker 1: things that get us get us worried. For some people, 1388 01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:02,720 Speaker 1: it's that we're gonna into a credit crisis because of 1389 01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:04,600 Speaker 1: the debt and our money. Our money is gonna be 1390 01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:08,719 Speaker 1: worthless and we're gonna be in a mad Max dystopian future. 1391 01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:11,160 Speaker 1: For other people, it's an e MP attack. Right, We've 1392 01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:14,200 Speaker 1: all got our stuff. Okay, North Korea puts an MP 1393 01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:17,400 Speaker 1: up in the sky. It fries everything all of a sudden. 1394 01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:19,760 Speaker 1: At least your problem is going to be the fact 1395 01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:22,480 Speaker 1: that you can't access your four oh one case statements online. 1396 01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:25,320 Speaker 1: You're not gonna or your medical records, the doctor's office, 1397 01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:28,680 Speaker 1: power stations will be off all that stuff, etcetera, etcetera. 1398 01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:31,960 Speaker 1: So e MP freaks on people out. For me, I 1399 01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,920 Speaker 1: think the big the big threat that doesn't get nearly 1400 01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:38,479 Speaker 1: enough attention is pandemic disease, and it's one of those 1401 01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:44,000 Speaker 1: areas where the private sector. Yeah, private sector obviously huge 1402 01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:47,880 Speaker 1: role to play in curing diseases. As I found out 1403 01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:50,240 Speaker 1: recently that Celiac disease, which is something that I'm very 1404 01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:54,320 Speaker 1: hopeful will be cured in the near future, that some 1405 01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:57,080 Speaker 1: of the cures they're looking at right now aren't really cures. 1406 01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:59,280 Speaker 1: They're just treatments you take while you also maintain a 1407 01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:01,200 Speaker 1: gluten free die it. And I just want to be like, 1408 01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:04,840 Speaker 1: if I can't eat my fried coconut shrimp, well, what's 1409 01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:06,960 Speaker 1: the point, right, Why why am I even taking this 1410 01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:11,280 Speaker 1: pill that's for celiac disease. But if you had, say, 1411 01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:16,040 Speaker 1: a a way to combat pandemic influenza that was truly effective, 1412 01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:21,920 Speaker 1: the humanitarian the humanitarian side of the debate would win out, 1413 01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,880 Speaker 1: meaning you're not gonna be able to make a huge 1414 01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:26,200 Speaker 1: profit off of it, because if it's really needed, they're 1415 01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:29,200 Speaker 1: gonna make it mass produce for everybody to save lives. Morally, 1416 01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:31,559 Speaker 1: it's correct, but there's a reason why the private sector 1417 01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:33,920 Speaker 1: doesn't get too excited about that, because the reason why 1418 01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:36,960 Speaker 1: the private sector spends a lot more money, for example, 1419 01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:43,160 Speaker 1: trying to cure things like baldness or yeah, dysfunction of 1420 01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:45,960 Speaker 1: certain male areas, a lot of money spending those, uh, 1421 01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:51,080 Speaker 1: those parts of the problem of then on things like 1422 01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:53,880 Speaker 1: how to beat the fluor or even the common cold. 1423 01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:57,160 Speaker 1: So I know, hypochondriact. But coming out here for a second, 1424 01:23:57,160 --> 01:23:59,880 Speaker 1: but just everybody wash your hands. And if you get sick, 1425 01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:03,200 Speaker 1: stay home, don't go to work. And if you're near 1426 01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:05,360 Speaker 1: somebody who's sick, don't worry. I give you a past. 1427 01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:07,559 Speaker 1: Don't worry about being rude. Be like, I'm sorry, I 1428 01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:10,479 Speaker 1: gotta here, I gotta create some distance. Here a sneeze 1429 01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:13,320 Speaker 1: can go twenty feet, my friends, twenty feet those little 1430 01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:17,800 Speaker 1: particles of saliva with those little viral things in it. 1431 01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:21,599 Speaker 1: So be safe out there. Important safety tips from Buck. 1432 01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:23,599 Speaker 1: All right, I'll be right back with Matt Walsh, gonna 1433 01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:27,160 Speaker 1: talk to us about college.

So talk to me 1441 01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:53,800 Speaker 1: about this piece you wrote on on college. Because I'm 1442 01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:56,559 Speaker 1: a I'm somebody who went to a four year liberal 1443 01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:59,120 Speaker 1: arts school. Felt like it was at least two years 1444 01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:02,800 Speaker 1: too long. It was way too expensive, I'd say, of 1445 01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:06,559 Speaker 1: my peers didn't really do anything that would truthfully be 1446 01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:10,439 Speaker 1: called studying, uh and at any length of time. And 1447 01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:12,559 Speaker 1: I thought about going to grad school afterwards, and I 1448 01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:14,920 Speaker 1: was like, well, that's just crazy, because that's now two 1449 01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:17,400 Speaker 1: dollars in addition to it. What was your piece about? 1450 01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:20,760 Speaker 1: Tell me about it? Now. Let's you know, I've been 1451 01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:23,639 Speaker 1: a I wouldn't call it. Some people call me anti college. 1452 01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:25,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if I call myself an anti college, 1453 01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:31,080 Speaker 1: but I've I'm anti the current system by which we 1454 01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:34,840 Speaker 1: we funnel. We just sort of automatically funnel every eighteen 1455 01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:37,360 Speaker 1: year old through the college education, you know, through the 1456 01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:40,559 Speaker 1: through your university system, without even thinking about it, as 1457 01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:43,120 Speaker 1: if as if it's an absolute requirement for everybody. So 1458 01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:46,320 Speaker 1: I'm anti that, and I was thinking about it, uh 1459 01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:48,680 Speaker 1: this week, especially Beau that it dawned on me or 1460 01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:52,360 Speaker 1: I was informed really that, um, we were about to 1461 01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:54,840 Speaker 1: reach the landmark in in in our marriage where we're 1462 01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:57,960 Speaker 1: gonna finish paying off my wife's college loans, which I 1463 01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:00,639 Speaker 1: didn't go to college, but and she, you know, stay 1464 01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:04,360 Speaker 1: at home mom, so she's not quote using the degree. Um. 1465 01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:06,240 Speaker 1: But we've been paying it off our whole marriage and 1466 01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:09,559 Speaker 1: we're almost done. So. But the fact that we have 1467 01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:12,960 Speaker 1: been paying off a degree that isn't being in any 1468 01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:16,960 Speaker 1: sort of actively used, is that just puts us in 1469 01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:19,160 Speaker 1: the same category. It's not a unique situation at all. 1470 01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:22,120 Speaker 1: Of course, this is the same situation that the majority 1471 01:26:22,240 --> 01:26:26,439 Speaker 1: of college graduates are in, where they are paying off 1472 01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:29,360 Speaker 1: degrees that they haven't exactly used. And the number that 1473 01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:32,640 Speaker 1: I saw when I was researching the piece was, I 1474 01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:37,920 Speaker 1: think it's only about of college graduates are right now 1475 01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:40,479 Speaker 1: in a job related to their major, which is just 1476 01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:43,280 Speaker 1: a It was just just such a small as it's 1477 01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:47,280 Speaker 1: a crazy there's an incredible number, incredibly small. Um. So 1478 01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:49,360 Speaker 1: I just really think maybe it's time for us to 1479 01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:54,439 Speaker 1: read to re reevaluate how we approach higher education. And 1480 01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:57,000 Speaker 1: so that's what the piece was about, Yeah, I have 1481 01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:59,880 Speaker 1: to say that the student loan debt and some people 1482 01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:02,320 Speaker 1: on in a bubble is at a trillion dollars right now. 1483 01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:05,080 Speaker 1: That's a lot of money by any account. That there's 1484 01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:08,080 Speaker 1: a trillion dollars of loans outstanding for people to have 1485 01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:13,080 Speaker 1: gone to undergraduate and graduate programs in this country. And 1486 01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:16,479 Speaker 1: if you look at the expense of going to a 1487 01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:19,800 Speaker 1: college program today, with the exception of community college a 1488 01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:23,559 Speaker 1: little different, but any state or private college university today 1489 01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:26,000 Speaker 1: versus what it what it was thirty years ago. Matt. 1490 01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:27,759 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if you've had this experience. 1491 01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:30,960 Speaker 1: My dad who was on scholarship all through high school, 1492 01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:35,120 Speaker 1: scholarship through college, but he would tell stories about helping 1493 01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:38,240 Speaker 1: at a at a boatyard over the summer to make 1494 01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:40,200 Speaker 1: money and he would actually be able to pay off 1495 01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:42,880 Speaker 1: like a semester or two by working over the summer. 1496 01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:45,479 Speaker 1: You would have to work for about thirty years at 1497 01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:47,800 Speaker 1: a summer job right now to put a dent in 1498 01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:52,360 Speaker 1: a private four year college university. The costs are crazy, yeah, 1499 01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:54,040 Speaker 1: and then you and then you, so you look at 1500 01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:57,519 Speaker 1: how cost of skyrocketing and then in many of these 1501 01:27:57,520 --> 01:28:00,799 Speaker 1: schools which you alluded to, the quality of the education 1502 01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:04,840 Speaker 1: is declining, So there's just as the the gap right 1503 01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:07,679 Speaker 1: now between quality and cost is like it's like there's 1504 01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:09,839 Speaker 1: light years between them and a lot of these schools. 1505 01:28:10,360 --> 01:28:12,760 Speaker 1: And when I say quality of the education, I think, um, 1506 01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,680 Speaker 1: that's not always about the institution itself, although often it is, 1507 01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:17,920 Speaker 1: but I think it it can also be about just 1508 01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:21,639 Speaker 1: the fact that you as as you talked about, it's 1509 01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:24,000 Speaker 1: possible to go to one of these schools and get 1510 01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:27,479 Speaker 1: a degree and leave without without ever having really learned 1511 01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:30,360 Speaker 1: anything or done much studying. So the quality of education 1512 01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,479 Speaker 1: isn't always there, certainly not to justify the price and 1513 01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:35,280 Speaker 1: the increase in price, which is why for me it's 1514 01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:37,120 Speaker 1: And of course there are some people that need to 1515 01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:39,600 Speaker 1: go to a college, that legitimately need to go to 1516 01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:41,800 Speaker 1: a four year institution or even beyond that because I 1517 01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:44,120 Speaker 1: want to get in the medical field or a legal field, 1518 01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:46,000 Speaker 1: or they want to be an engineer and architect whatever. 1519 01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:48,080 Speaker 1: So we all understand, of course you gotta go to 1520 01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:50,160 Speaker 1: college for that and for some other fields as well. 1521 01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:52,080 Speaker 1: But my point is that this is what if you're 1522 01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:54,080 Speaker 1: eighteen years old, you're getting out of high school and 1523 01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:55,400 Speaker 1: you're thinking about who I want to go to college 1524 01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:59,040 Speaker 1: or not, you should be able to complete this sentence. 1525 01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:01,840 Speaker 1: The sentence is I want to go to a four 1526 01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:05,960 Speaker 1: year institution so that I can blank and you should 1527 01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:07,880 Speaker 1: have something there. And if if it's so that I 1528 01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:11,240 Speaker 1: can become a doctor, then great, But if it's if 1529 01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:13,120 Speaker 1: you if you don't really know what the what the 1530 01:29:13,320 --> 01:29:15,559 Speaker 1: what the blankets supposed to be, then I think the 1531 01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:18,200 Speaker 1: smartest thing is to don't go to a college right now. 1532 01:29:18,320 --> 01:29:20,320 Speaker 1: Maybe down the line you're going to one, but if 1533 01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:23,400 Speaker 1: you have no idea why you're going, then don't go. 1534 01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:25,519 Speaker 1: And I think the craziest thing, this is what almost 1535 01:29:25,520 --> 01:29:27,000 Speaker 1: everyone does, and this is what they tell you to do, 1536 01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:28,120 Speaker 1: and this is what I was told to do when 1537 01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:29,639 Speaker 1: I was a nice school with my guy in sculpils. 1538 01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:31,400 Speaker 1: They'll say, well, if you don't know what you want 1539 01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:34,559 Speaker 1: to do, that's fine, just go to college anyway and 1540 01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:37,000 Speaker 1: then figure it out. You'll figure out when you're there. 1541 01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:39,760 Speaker 1: So now you're talking about paying. You're telling these eight 1542 01:29:39,800 --> 01:29:41,960 Speaker 1: and year old kids with no money, no assets, no job, 1543 01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:44,840 Speaker 1: no resume, nothing to their name, you're telling them the 1544 01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:49,719 Speaker 1: post to to accept a lifetime of crushing debt on 1545 01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:52,920 Speaker 1: the theory on the hope that while that that this 1546 01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:55,320 Speaker 1: thing that they're purchasing down the line will come in 1547 01:29:55,439 --> 01:29:58,560 Speaker 1: andy and then while they after they're they're supposed to 1548 01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:01,280 Speaker 1: purchase it, and then after they just figure out what 1549 01:30:01,320 --> 01:30:04,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna do with it. In what other scenario would 1550 01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:07,880 Speaker 1: we ever recommend that someone makes such a financial commitment 1551 01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:10,160 Speaker 1: like that. I think it's I think it's crazy and 1552 01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:12,600 Speaker 1: there's no reason to do it. If you, if you 1553 01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:15,840 Speaker 1: leave high school, get a job somewhere, go experience life, 1554 01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:18,519 Speaker 1: do some things, and then you decide that, hey, I 1555 01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:20,360 Speaker 1: want to be a doctor, Well you can go to 1556 01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:23,080 Speaker 1: school then, and so you're two years behind what your 1557 01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:25,080 Speaker 1: what your what your peers in high school are doing. 1558 01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:28,320 Speaker 1: Who cares, it doesn't matter um At least, then you've 1559 01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:31,160 Speaker 1: cut out the risk of going and making this financial 1560 01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:34,240 Speaker 1: commitment which in the end will not do anything for you. 1561 01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:35,760 Speaker 1: And that's so it's a pretty good risk. Now we're 1562 01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:37,800 Speaker 1: speaking to Matt Walsh or the Matt Walsh Blog. He's 1563 01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:41,519 Speaker 1: a writer at The Daily or at Daily wire dot com, 1564 01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:44,360 Speaker 1: and his piece up there on this subject is, don't 1565 01:30:44,360 --> 01:30:46,960 Speaker 1: believe the lie. Kids. You don't need to go to 1566 01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:50,439 Speaker 1: college and you probably shouldn't, you know, Matt. If I'm 1567 01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:54,080 Speaker 1: being honest about myself, I and I try to advise 1568 01:30:54,120 --> 01:30:56,200 Speaker 1: other people about this. If I had spent a year 1569 01:30:56,320 --> 01:31:00,320 Speaker 1: or two either working, we're serving, whether that's uh, serving 1570 01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:04,839 Speaker 1: your country in the military, serving as a missionary abroad, 1571 01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:07,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, or just a job where you 1572 01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:09,160 Speaker 1: have to show up, you get paid an amount of money, 1573 01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:10,960 Speaker 1: and then you start to see what that's like. I 1574 01:31:10,960 --> 01:31:12,960 Speaker 1: would have approached college a little differently. It took me 1575 01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:15,639 Speaker 1: about two years before I decided, wait a second, this 1576 01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:17,880 Speaker 1: is a finite and I have the opportunity to learn 1577 01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:19,479 Speaker 1: a lot and do a lot here, and I was 1578 01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:22,160 Speaker 1: honestly taking it more seriously than a vast majority of 1579 01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:25,160 Speaker 1: my peers. I think that that's good advice for people. 1580 01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:27,280 Speaker 1: And I remember there was a story about a guy 1581 01:31:27,320 --> 01:31:29,439 Speaker 1: a couple of years below me who was one of 1582 01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:30,840 Speaker 1: these kids who just showed up and just all he 1583 01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:32,879 Speaker 1: was doing was drinking, Matt, right, which is not unusual. 1584 01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:34,000 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that go to these 1585 01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:36,280 Speaker 1: colleges and it's just drinking and party, and that's what 1586 01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:39,200 Speaker 1: they think college is. He actually failed out and his 1587 01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:44,000 Speaker 1: dad made him work as a toll collector. Completely honorable job, 1588 01:31:44,080 --> 01:31:47,640 Speaker 1: but you know, not necessarily the most stimulating of professions. 1589 01:31:47,960 --> 01:31:50,400 Speaker 1: As a told both collector in New Jersey for a 1590 01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:52,639 Speaker 1: year before he would let him go back to school 1591 01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:54,519 Speaker 1: and help him pay for it. And apparently the kid 1592 01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:56,800 Speaker 1: came back a changed human being when it came to 1593 01:31:56,840 --> 01:32:01,120 Speaker 1: school work. Yeah, I think that's a girl. I wish 1594 01:32:01,160 --> 01:32:04,479 Speaker 1: that every if only every you know, eight nine general 1595 01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:06,559 Speaker 1: had had a parent like that, a dad like that. 1596 01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:09,519 Speaker 1: But I think that, uh, you know, we talked about 1597 01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:12,280 Speaker 1: the college experience, and that's one of the arguments I 1598 01:32:12,360 --> 01:32:14,280 Speaker 1: hear in favor of just sending the kids in college 1599 01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:16,240 Speaker 1: no matter what is Well, it's for the it's for 1600 01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:19,120 Speaker 1: the experience. It's a great experience. I think the college 1601 01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:21,240 Speaker 1: experience is one of the worst things about college right 1602 01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:24,400 Speaker 1: now for in most cases, um and it's and I 1603 01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:25,880 Speaker 1: think for a lot of kids that's not going to 1604 01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:28,880 Speaker 1: be a formative experience that that teaches them about life 1605 01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:31,360 Speaker 1: and helps them grow. And I think for something ken, 1606 01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:34,439 Speaker 1: but I think they're in the minority. More likely is yeah, 1607 01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:37,280 Speaker 1: someone goes and they're told collector, or they work a 1608 01:32:37,400 --> 01:32:39,080 Speaker 1: low wage job, or they do whatever, you know, as 1609 01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:41,519 Speaker 1: long as they're working and paying and taking care of themselves. 1610 01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:44,719 Speaker 1: In a big advocate for that, Um, when you're eighteen 1611 01:32:44,760 --> 01:32:46,240 Speaker 1: years old, just get out there in the world and 1612 01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:48,439 Speaker 1: learn to take care of yourself a little bit. That's 1613 01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:51,840 Speaker 1: that's how you grow and learn about yourself and learn 1614 01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:54,479 Speaker 1: what your talents are, your skills are, your passions are, 1615 01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:57,679 Speaker 1: what your vocation is. Because the vast majority of eighteen 1616 01:32:57,680 --> 01:32:59,080 Speaker 1: your kids that come out of high school and they 1617 01:32:59,120 --> 01:33:00,760 Speaker 1: have no idea about that. I didn't know about it 1618 01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:02,479 Speaker 1: either when I when I graduated at school, I didn't 1619 01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:03,719 Speaker 1: know what I was good at, what I was supposed 1620 01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:06,519 Speaker 1: to be doing, because unfortunately, the public school education system 1621 01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:09,960 Speaker 1: doesn't really the most kids, doesn't really help you sort 1622 01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:11,640 Speaker 1: that out, and they don't help you discover who you 1623 01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:14,439 Speaker 1: are because it's all about just just shuffling kids along 1624 01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:17,960 Speaker 1: this conveyor belt like system. So I think they need 1625 01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:20,719 Speaker 1: to get out there in the world and and and 1626 01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:22,800 Speaker 1: and figure it out. And then the great thing is 1627 01:33:22,800 --> 01:33:24,360 Speaker 1: that if they decided I need to go to college, 1628 01:33:24,479 --> 01:33:27,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna go in as a not only as a 1629 01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:29,880 Speaker 1: more mature person, but they'll have a little bit of 1630 01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:31,360 Speaker 1: experience under the belt to have a little bit of 1631 01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:33,360 Speaker 1: a resume already, and they'll have a little bit of 1632 01:33:33,360 --> 01:33:35,120 Speaker 1: money too that they can go into college with, so 1633 01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:37,000 Speaker 1: they're not going in broke. I just think this is 1634 01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:39,400 Speaker 1: obviously the best way to approach it, and I think 1635 01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:42,879 Speaker 1: I think what happens is that you have some parents 1636 01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:45,799 Speaker 1: who do not want their kids to do that, because 1637 01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:47,120 Speaker 1: I know it's not the case for all of them, 1638 01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:49,360 Speaker 1: but there are some parents who, even though this is 1639 01:33:49,439 --> 01:33:52,599 Speaker 1: clearly the best approach, there's some parents who don't want 1640 01:33:52,640 --> 01:33:56,680 Speaker 1: that because they're definitely afraid that their kid will go 1641 01:33:56,720 --> 01:33:58,519 Speaker 1: out into the world and then discovered they don't want 1642 01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:00,800 Speaker 1: to go to college at all, and now the parent 1643 01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:02,800 Speaker 1: is going to be embarrassed that they have a kid 1644 01:34:02,840 --> 01:34:05,000 Speaker 1: that didn't go to college. And so for some parents 1645 01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:07,439 Speaker 1: it's kind of a vanity thing where they want their 1646 01:34:07,520 --> 01:34:09,640 Speaker 1: kids in college, not so much for the kid, but 1647 01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:12,280 Speaker 1: for themselves. I think that's a very profound insight, by 1648 01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:15,240 Speaker 1: the way, because Matt Matt, there's a lot of social 1649 01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:18,479 Speaker 1: pressure on parents to make sure and you'll even hear 1650 01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:20,559 Speaker 1: the stories, right, the first in my family to go 1651 01:34:20,600 --> 01:34:22,519 Speaker 1: to college. That's a great that's all well and good, 1652 01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:24,720 Speaker 1: but it's something that that the parents feel very good 1653 01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:27,120 Speaker 1: about and you know, maybe it's a good idea. Maybe 1654 01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:31,160 Speaker 1: it's not to go to college. Yeah. Yeah, And and look, 1655 01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:33,040 Speaker 1: we all have desires and things for our kids, and 1656 01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:34,560 Speaker 1: we all want our kids to be educated, and a 1657 01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:36,920 Speaker 1: lot of parents really want that formal education something really 1658 01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:38,800 Speaker 1: important to them. And I'm not downplaying that at all. 1659 01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:41,120 Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a fine goal for your kid, 1660 01:34:41,200 --> 01:34:43,519 Speaker 1: but um, at the end of the day, they're eighteen 1661 01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:46,280 Speaker 1: years older, an adult, and this has to be what's 1662 01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:47,760 Speaker 1: best for them and what they want to do it 1663 01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:51,479 Speaker 1: to some extent, and so there is that. There's you know, 1664 01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:53,719 Speaker 1: the social pressure that the kids feel in high school, 1665 01:34:53,720 --> 01:34:57,160 Speaker 1: except that I experienced where it's like they don't treat 1666 01:34:57,320 --> 01:34:58,680 Speaker 1: at least high school I went to it. I think 1667 01:34:58,680 --> 01:35:01,960 Speaker 1: this is pretty common. They basically tell you you're going 1668 01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:05,719 Speaker 1: to college. Second option is the military. That that's okay. 1669 01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:08,920 Speaker 1: Maybe outside of that, it's like there's no other option. Yeah, 1670 01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:11,320 Speaker 1: you're like a space alien, like the guidance counselor doesn't 1671 01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:13,160 Speaker 1: even want to see you. Yeah, that same thing in 1672 01:35:13,280 --> 01:35:15,920 Speaker 1: my school. Matt Walsh, everybody check out his latest at 1673 01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:17,760 Speaker 1: daily wire dot com.

We will talk about that. Uh, any 1684 01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:51,400 Speaker 1: last minute calls, let me no. Eight four four to 1685 01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:55,439 Speaker 1: five eight four four nine buck. I'll be back with 1686 01:35:55,479 --> 01:35:59,320 Speaker 1: you in just a few minutes. You know, it's funny. 1687 01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:02,920 Speaker 1: I was talking to a colleague of mine today and 1688 01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:09,160 Speaker 1: we were discussing how sometimes a a business negotiation, you know, 1689 01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:12,200 Speaker 1: or a first business meeting. He was telling me a 1690 01:36:12,240 --> 01:36:14,879 Speaker 1: story and I said, you know, it kind of sounds 1691 01:36:14,960 --> 01:36:19,400 Speaker 1: like a first date. You know, you want to be 1692 01:36:19,560 --> 01:36:22,880 Speaker 1: clear about what you want but not too eager, and 1693 01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:27,679 Speaker 1: you want to be interested but not too interested, And 1694 01:36:27,880 --> 01:36:29,760 Speaker 1: you know, you want to allow the other person to 1695 01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:32,120 Speaker 1: meet you halfway, and you know, there's sort of a 1696 01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:36,599 Speaker 1: similarity between the rhythm of being on a first date 1697 01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:41,160 Speaker 1: and the rhythm of a business negotiation, where you're not 1698 01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:43,200 Speaker 1: sure the deal is going to get done or not, 1699 01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:46,280 Speaker 1: or you're not sure you're gonna get what you want, 1700 01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:50,000 Speaker 1: and reminded me of how as somebody here in New 1701 01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:52,920 Speaker 1: York City, we we get married a lot later than 1702 01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:55,760 Speaker 1: folks in the rest of the country. Uh, I know, 1703 01:36:55,840 --> 01:36:58,160 Speaker 1: I'm working on it. Everybody, don't worry, it's it's happening. 1704 01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:02,040 Speaker 1: But we get married I think an average, and on average, 1705 01:37:02,080 --> 01:37:05,240 Speaker 1: like twenty eight or twenty nine here is pretty standard 1706 01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:08,360 Speaker 1: for New York City. And so that means that most 1707 01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:10,880 Speaker 1: folks have gone on a lot of a lot of 1708 01:37:10,920 --> 01:37:14,920 Speaker 1: first dates. And I've maybe one day I'll sit around 1709 01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:17,679 Speaker 1: on a Friday evening with some of you and tell 1710 01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:21,280 Speaker 1: you my funniest or perhaps most embarrassing or well, I 1711 01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:24,640 Speaker 1: guess it would be both first date stories. Mine are 1712 01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:28,599 Speaker 1: not amazing. I mean, I do remember once, many years ago, 1713 01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:31,640 Speaker 1: being on a date with a woman who told me 1714 01:37:31,680 --> 01:37:35,120 Speaker 1: on the first date that she writes a blog about 1715 01:37:35,160 --> 01:37:37,920 Speaker 1: all of the dates that she goes on, and that 1716 01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:41,000 Speaker 1: was the only and I was respectful about it. And 1717 01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:44,280 Speaker 1: I wasn't brusk or or rude or anything, but that 1718 01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:46,400 Speaker 1: was the only date that I did not see through 1719 01:37:46,439 --> 01:37:48,479 Speaker 1: to the end. I was like, I'm this is not 1720 01:37:48,520 --> 01:37:52,280 Speaker 1: gonna work for me. This whole this, everything I say 1721 01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:54,640 Speaker 1: to you may end up on a blog. I'm not 1722 01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:57,519 Speaker 1: I'm not signing on for that. So we were just 1723 01:37:57,560 --> 01:38:00,479 Speaker 1: having coffee and I finished my coffee and went on 1724 01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:06,160 Speaker 1: my way. But you also have that that circumstance of 1725 01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:10,040 Speaker 1: you know, if it doesn't go your way, things don't 1726 01:38:10,040 --> 01:38:12,320 Speaker 1: turn out the way you like. You always have to 1727 01:38:12,360 --> 01:38:17,639 Speaker 1: remember that dignity is the one thing that nobody can 1728 01:38:17,680 --> 01:38:20,720 Speaker 1: take from you but yourself. You know, it doesn't matter 1729 01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:24,000 Speaker 1: what happens. Someone else can be mean, they can be demeaning, 1730 01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:27,400 Speaker 1: they can be rude, they can be you know, crazy, whatever, 1731 01:38:27,920 --> 01:38:30,519 Speaker 1: But if you you choose whether or not on a 1732 01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:33,519 Speaker 1: date to maintain your dignity, which is also one of 1733 01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:36,320 Speaker 1: the reasons why as much as and I'm going to 1734 01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:38,519 Speaker 1: admit now that I watch used to watch a Bravo 1735 01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:41,160 Speaker 1: show called The Millionaire Matchmaker. I know, I know, make 1736 01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:43,479 Speaker 1: fun of I deserve it. I deserve it. Laid on. 1737 01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:46,439 Speaker 1: You can send me the Facebook messages right now, you're like, bluck, 1738 01:38:46,479 --> 01:38:50,559 Speaker 1: your man card has been revoked. But you know, sometimes 1739 01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:53,759 Speaker 1: it was entertaining. But there was this woman on it, Patty, 1740 01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:56,879 Speaker 1: who was the host, and she would always say, only 1741 01:38:57,040 --> 01:39:03,200 Speaker 1: two drinks aloud, okay, and and that was the limit. 1742 01:39:03,240 --> 01:39:06,559 Speaker 1: For women who were at this mixer with were vice 1743 01:39:06,640 --> 01:39:09,559 Speaker 1: versa for men to to drinks. That's it. It is 1744 01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:13,200 Speaker 1: a very good rule for a first date because the 1745 01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:16,920 Speaker 1: one time when you might find yourself not acting with 1746 01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:19,599 Speaker 1: the or the likeliest time for you to not act 1747 01:39:19,640 --> 01:39:22,679 Speaker 1: with the most dignity. I don't know, probably a pretty 1748 01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:24,880 Speaker 1: small percentage of those listening to this show right now 1749 01:39:24,920 --> 01:39:27,960 Speaker 1: are single, but I don't know, maybe it's about twenty 1750 01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:31,439 Speaker 1: of you. And but the one thing is, if you 1751 01:39:31,479 --> 01:39:34,920 Speaker 1: get really drunk, dignity becomes a little tougher to hold 1752 01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:37,280 Speaker 1: onto if things don't go your way, meaning you know, 1753 01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:39,240 Speaker 1: you feel like this has been a bad date, and 1754 01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:42,680 Speaker 1: you know you're you're you wanna you wish it had 1755 01:39:42,720 --> 01:39:45,599 Speaker 1: gone better, and then you have to make that decision 1756 01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:47,840 Speaker 1: about Okay, I'm just gonna go home and shake hands 1757 01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:51,720 Speaker 1: and be very respectful and dignified and not you know, 1758 01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:56,400 Speaker 1: throw a tantrum, not you know, say anything snide on 1759 01:39:56,640 --> 01:39:59,519 Speaker 1: you know, not just try to you know, to take 1760 01:39:59,560 --> 01:40:01,640 Speaker 1: a few pot shots on your way out, you know 1761 01:40:01,720 --> 01:40:03,840 Speaker 1: from the date. You know, that's that's you have a 1762 01:40:03,840 --> 01:40:06,600 Speaker 1: few drinks. It's more like it happened. Well, we have 1763 01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:12,640 Speaker 1: quite a good example of what allegedly can happen if 1764 01:40:12,640 --> 01:40:15,240 Speaker 1: you have too much to drink and you don't decide 1765 01:40:15,280 --> 01:40:18,479 Speaker 1: to hang on to uh, dignity for very long. A 1766 01:40:18,560 --> 01:40:23,519 Speaker 1: woman back in December was on a date in Dallas 1767 01:40:24,400 --> 01:40:30,160 Speaker 1: and she she was apparently allegedly very intoxicated, and the 1768 01:40:30,240 --> 01:40:32,160 Speaker 1: guy she was on the date with brought her home 1769 01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:38,320 Speaker 1: and she quote shattered to twenty thou dollar sculptures and 1770 01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:43,360 Speaker 1: poured wine on paintings, including two Andy Warhol works, each 1771 01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:48,360 Speaker 1: valued at five hundred thousand dollars. She she allegedly did 1772 01:40:48,479 --> 01:40:53,160 Speaker 1: three hundred thousand dollars of damage to this guy's artwork 1773 01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:58,760 Speaker 1: on a first date because she was drunk. And now 1774 01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:02,080 Speaker 1: she faces really you know, this actually gets serious, because 1775 01:41:02,120 --> 01:41:05,880 Speaker 1: she faces really serious criminal charges because of it. And 1776 01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:08,479 Speaker 1: it's just a reminder, you know, dignity is one of 1777 01:41:08,479 --> 01:41:11,280 Speaker 1: those things where you are the only person who can 1778 01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:14,200 Speaker 1: safeguard it. But the great thing is no one can 1779 01:41:14,200 --> 01:41:16,040 Speaker 1: take it from you. You have to let it go. 1780 01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:18,840 Speaker 1: And if a date's going badly and you're a little 1781 01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:21,400 Speaker 1: too lit up, that's when you know. That's what all 1782 01:41:21,439 --> 01:41:23,640 Speaker 1: of a sudden, as a guy, you say, you know, 1783 01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:26,760 Speaker 1: you know it's wanna start talking about my exes.

Now. I got a note from Mary. 1878 01:46:34,760 --> 01:46:37,400 Speaker 1: I listened to your show every night. Last night I 1879 01:46:37,439 --> 01:46:40,200 Speaker 1: heard you talk about French women being against the women 1880 01:46:40,320 --> 01:46:44,599 Speaker 1: of America, bringing dirt against men. I don't understand how 1881 01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:48,160 Speaker 1: they can bring up things from thirty years ago, I'm 1882 01:46:48,200 --> 01:46:51,920 Speaker 1: angry that women climb over men this way. Well, Mary, 1883 01:46:51,960 --> 01:46:55,360 Speaker 1: you know I've been worried all along about false accusations. Look, 1884 01:46:55,400 --> 01:46:58,839 Speaker 1: guilty party should be punished. Sexual harassments illegal, and sexual 1885 01:46:58,840 --> 01:47:03,559 Speaker 1: assault is a crime. But innocent until proven guilty isn't 1886 01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:06,240 Speaker 1: just a legal standard. It should also be something of 1887 01:47:06,280 --> 01:47:10,800 Speaker 1: a guiding concept for UH society at large. Right, it 1888 01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:15,120 Speaker 1: shouldn't just be an accusation, you know, verdict first, trial later. 1889 01:47:15,200 --> 01:47:18,160 Speaker 1: That's not the way it's supposed to be, all right, 1890 01:47:18,400 --> 01:47:22,240 Speaker 1: And now we got one from Paul representing Team buck 1891 01:47:22,280 --> 01:47:25,240 Speaker 1: here with the following, Any chance you could do a 1892 01:47:25,360 --> 01:47:29,639 Speaker 1: debate with a liberal on your show, border Wall, Russia, collusion, 1893 01:47:29,760 --> 01:47:32,560 Speaker 1: or any other topic that would entertain us would be 1894 01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:35,840 Speaker 1: nice to hear how you compose yourself and separate from 1895 01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:39,800 Speaker 1: how stupid they sound and are. Thanks for your book 1896 01:47:39,840 --> 01:47:42,439 Speaker 1: list that you answered on air. Bought them all. Wishing 1897 01:47:42,479 --> 01:47:46,599 Speaker 1: you and your team a great start to your year. Paul, Well, Paul, 1898 01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:49,360 Speaker 1: you know I would be happy to have a liberal 1899 01:47:49,400 --> 01:47:52,400 Speaker 1: on to discuss on this show any topic that would 1900 01:47:52,400 --> 01:47:55,880 Speaker 1: be of interest to this audience. I just have a 1901 01:47:55,920 --> 01:48:01,720 Speaker 1: hesitation because radio the moment that radio becomes too contentious. 1902 01:48:02,439 --> 01:48:05,080 Speaker 1: It's just a shouting match with nothing else. It's not 1903 01:48:05,160 --> 01:48:08,439 Speaker 1: even like on TV, where what they call cross talk 1904 01:48:08,800 --> 01:48:12,080 Speaker 1: is frustrating, but at least you can see something. On radio, 1905 01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:16,040 Speaker 1: it just turns into a garbled mess. And really the 1906 01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:20,280 Speaker 1: host always has the the upper hand, which is why 1907 01:48:20,360 --> 01:48:22,960 Speaker 1: some of these radio shows really love it when someone 1908 01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:24,880 Speaker 1: calls in so they can go, yeah, it should up 1909 01:48:24,880 --> 01:48:27,360 Speaker 1: and they hang up on the guy or whatever, because 1910 01:48:27,439 --> 01:48:30,120 Speaker 1: you get to control the pace and the duration of 1911 01:48:30,200 --> 01:48:34,040 Speaker 1: the exchange, which is also why, for example, at CNN 1912 01:48:34,160 --> 01:48:37,520 Speaker 1: or some of the left wing media, left wing news outlets, 1913 01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:40,360 Speaker 1: I would say, conservatives already a huge disadvantage. The deck 1914 01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:43,080 Speaker 1: is literally, well not literally, but the deck is actually 1915 01:48:43,160 --> 01:48:46,439 Speaker 1: stacked against them. So I would love too, but it 1916 01:48:46,439 --> 01:48:48,519 Speaker 1: would need to be a very particular kind of liberal, 1917 01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:50,599 Speaker 1: and I would need to trust that the liberal would 1918 01:48:50,600 --> 01:48:54,560 Speaker 1: want to exchange ideas and not get snide or nasty, 1919 01:48:54,600 --> 01:48:57,680 Speaker 1: because I really make a point on this show to 1920 01:48:58,400 --> 01:49:03,600 Speaker 1: avoid being to avoid being a jerk. I'm always disappointed 1921 01:49:03,640 --> 01:49:08,240 Speaker 1: there are some other hosts out there who are not nice, 1922 01:49:08,600 --> 01:49:12,000 Speaker 1: and they're they're unkind to callers without reason. Not many, 1923 01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:13,559 Speaker 1: I'm just there are a few that come to mind, 1924 01:49:14,200 --> 01:49:16,639 Speaker 1: or they're just particularly nasty. They like to make fun 1925 01:49:16,680 --> 01:49:19,960 Speaker 1: of people's appearances a lot, things like that. I just 1926 01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:23,400 Speaker 1: never understand that. I think that's really that's not what 1927 01:49:23,479 --> 01:49:27,080 Speaker 1: this should be about, and you know, calling people stupid 1928 01:49:27,120 --> 01:49:28,880 Speaker 1: and things like that. I try to avoid that. I'm 1929 01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:32,600 Speaker 1: not perfect, but I try to avoid all that unnecessary 1930 01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:35,680 Speaker 1: negativity as much as possible. So debates, I'm open to it, 1931 01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:38,000 Speaker 1: but it's it's tough on radio. I'll be honest with you, 1932 01:49:39,200 --> 01:49:41,599 Speaker 1: and I will just tell you that I'm somebody who 1933 01:49:41,640 --> 01:49:44,960 Speaker 1: has come up against this already in my career. They 1934 01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:46,800 Speaker 1: won't have me on the Bill mar Show because I'm 1935 01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:51,599 Speaker 1: uh to adept a debater, and there are concerns about 1936 01:49:51,640 --> 01:49:53,080 Speaker 1: how the rest of the panel will be able to 1937 01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:55,479 Speaker 1: handle me. And that's been true in other places too. 1938 01:49:55,600 --> 01:49:57,839 Speaker 1: That never had me on Anderson Cooper Show on CNN, 1939 01:49:57,880 --> 01:50:00,519 Speaker 1: would never have me on Jake Tapper Show on CNN. 1940 01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:02,920 Speaker 1: They could only let me do Don Lemon Show, which 1941 01:50:02,960 --> 01:50:05,840 Speaker 1: just turns into a food fight and yelling and nastiness 1942 01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:07,639 Speaker 1: and as a joke, as you've seen the last couple 1943 01:50:07,640 --> 01:50:10,719 Speaker 1: of days. Because they don't want to put a prize 1944 01:50:10,720 --> 01:50:12,960 Speaker 1: fighter in the ring with little old me and have 1945 01:50:13,080 --> 01:50:16,320 Speaker 1: that prize fighter get knocked out. So that's always been 1946 01:50:16,320 --> 01:50:19,599 Speaker 1: a limitation for me, because I'll debate anybody. I mean, 1947 01:50:19,600 --> 01:50:22,120 Speaker 1: the last time they have me on MSNBC was six 1948 01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:25,040 Speaker 1: years ago, maybe yes, six years ago, very early in 1949 01:50:25,120 --> 01:50:27,719 Speaker 1: my career. And it's because while I was still getting 1950 01:50:27,800 --> 01:50:31,160 Speaker 1: used to media on the merits, I smoked the person 1951 01:50:31,240 --> 01:50:32,880 Speaker 1: that I was supposed to debate, who was one of 1952 01:50:32,920 --> 01:50:38,719 Speaker 1: their prized on air pundits. So it's it's it's never 1953 01:50:38,960 --> 01:50:41,280 Speaker 1: as easy and straightforward as it seems to to get 1954 01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:44,920 Speaker 1: people to have a real robust conversation, all right, And now, 1955 01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:46,400 Speaker 1: as you can see, I have a lot of thoughts 1956 01:50:46,400 --> 01:50:49,080 Speaker 1: on that. Uh it's it's a frustration of mine in 1957 01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:52,519 Speaker 1: two ways. I'd like to have more debates with honest 1958 01:50:52,760 --> 01:50:57,080 Speaker 1: and and uh reasonable intellectuals of the left. And also 1959 01:50:57,160 --> 01:50:59,880 Speaker 1: I think it's very indicative of how the left places 1960 01:50:59,880 --> 01:51:01,840 Speaker 1: they game that. I mean, I know for a fact 1961 01:51:01,920 --> 01:51:06,800 Speaker 1: that I've been barred from some invitations in media or banned, 1962 01:51:06,840 --> 01:51:09,680 Speaker 1: if you will, from some shows just because I'm I 1963 01:51:09,720 --> 01:51:11,759 Speaker 1: don't know what else to say, I'm too smart for 1964 01:51:12,040 --> 01:51:15,000 Speaker 1: the panel or the host. That's just the truth. I know. 1965 01:51:15,080 --> 01:51:17,680 Speaker 1: The producers that work on these different shows, and in 1966 01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:20,559 Speaker 1: a debate setting, they are worried about me, and they 1967 01:51:20,560 --> 01:51:23,800 Speaker 1: should be because they would get Buck slapped. All right, 1968 01:51:23,880 --> 01:51:27,600 Speaker 1: now we have Susan writing in, Hey Buck, I'm not 1969 01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:31,400 Speaker 1: oss original Saturday Squad, but I've been listening to you 1970 01:51:31,439 --> 01:51:34,000 Speaker 1: for over a year, and thanks to you, I watched 1971 01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:37,680 Speaker 1: less and less TV. I listened to you instead. I 1972 01:51:37,760 --> 01:51:40,120 Speaker 1: also happened to be Hungarian, and last night I was 1973 01:51:40,240 --> 01:51:43,040 Speaker 1: very glad to hear one of your callers mentioned the 1974 01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:47,320 Speaker 1: battle of nandor fa Harvar. I'm not gonna lie, I 1975 01:51:47,320 --> 01:51:49,960 Speaker 1: have no idea how to pronounce that, though he said 1976 01:51:49,960 --> 01:51:54,320 Speaker 1: the name of the Hungarian city sikest hair Var that 1977 01:51:54,720 --> 01:51:58,120 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Guys, I'm much better with at least bumbling 1978 01:51:58,200 --> 01:52:01,960 Speaker 1: through German or even Arab names that I am with 1979 01:52:01,960 --> 01:52:04,519 Speaker 1: with Hungary, and this is way beyond me. That is 1980 01:52:04,560 --> 01:52:06,800 Speaker 1: also a very important city in our history. It used 1981 01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:09,000 Speaker 1: to be the capital of the Hungarian Kingdom in the 1982 01:52:09,040 --> 01:52:11,960 Speaker 1: early centuries. I send you some info on this battle 1983 01:52:12,040 --> 01:52:15,240 Speaker 1: and also recommend the story of the Siege of Agair. 1984 01:52:15,360 --> 01:52:17,400 Speaker 1: Thank you for your hard work. Have a great weekend, 1985 01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:20,400 Speaker 1: Shields high well, Susan it's a great honor that you 1986 01:52:20,439 --> 01:52:23,960 Speaker 1: listen to this show over watching TV. I thank you 1987 01:52:24,040 --> 01:52:26,719 Speaker 1: very much for that, and also thank you for sending 1988 01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:31,559 Speaker 1: me this information. I am familiar, at least in broad strokes, 1989 01:52:31,960 --> 01:52:36,400 Speaker 1: with the fact that the Eastern European states were the 1990 01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:39,479 Speaker 1: ones during the period of the High Ottoman Empire, the 1991 01:52:39,520 --> 01:52:43,840 Speaker 1: most powerful caliphate in history. They were on the front lines. 1992 01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:46,760 Speaker 1: They were the ones that were holding the line for 1993 01:52:46,920 --> 01:52:52,639 Speaker 1: Western civilization, Christianity, and Christendom against the conquest of Jihad. 1994 01:52:53,120 --> 01:52:55,760 Speaker 1: And that's going to be a major feature of the 1995 01:52:55,760 --> 01:52:58,240 Speaker 1: Shields High series when I get to it. We're gonna 1996 01:52:58,280 --> 01:53:01,519 Speaker 1: work through the Crusades first, because or at least the 1997 01:53:01,560 --> 01:53:03,840 Speaker 1: First Crusade, and then perhaps do a little bit more 1998 01:53:03,880 --> 01:53:07,040 Speaker 1: beyond that because there's so much there. But I can't 1999 01:53:07,080 --> 01:53:12,400 Speaker 1: skip from the eighth century to the or fifteenth century 2000 01:53:12,400 --> 01:53:15,400 Speaker 1: without putting some context in the middle there, and you 2001 01:53:15,400 --> 01:53:17,920 Speaker 1: can't skip the Crusades if you're talking about cross versus 2002 01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:20,360 Speaker 1: Crescent conflict. But we will get into some of those 2003 01:53:20,400 --> 01:53:24,280 Speaker 1: major Eastern European battles, and I will look into the 2004 01:53:24,320 --> 01:53:26,560 Speaker 1: Siege of Aga on some of these other ones that 2005 01:53:26,600 --> 01:53:29,760 Speaker 1: you have brought to my attention. All right with that, 2006 01:53:30,040 --> 01:53:33,880 Speaker 1: I am gonna close up shop here in the hut. 2007 01:53:34,200 --> 01:53:36,360 Speaker 1: By the way, check out buck sexton dot com.
