1 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Trump and mccron have 2 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: a discussion while he's out there doing the NATO thing. Also, 3 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: the House GOP has a report out on impeachment. The 4 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: Inspector General report means that people are running for cover 5 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: and trying to run interference on both sides. A peloton 6 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: ad that's gotten far more attention than it intended to, 7 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: and liberals don't like Melania's coat. That are more coming up. 8 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: This is the bus Sexton Show, where the mission or 9 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 10 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: Mag no mistake American. Great, you're a great American Again, 11 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. No, 12 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: welcome to the Buck Sex and Show. Everybody. Sorry, I'm 13 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: my voice a little scratchy this morning. I don't really 14 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: know why, but thank you so much for me. That's 15 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: what it's what happens. You do a radio show enough, 16 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: your vocal cords take a beaten. Mine are much abused. 17 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons why I'm days off. I 18 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: try to talk less. I just look at people and 19 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: nodded my head. M that's great. We got a lot 20 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: to get you today. NATO, NATO North Atlantic Treaty organization 21 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: been around for quite some time trying to counter the Soviets. 22 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: You got Trump sitting down with Emmanuel Macron, who I 23 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: will say, does remind me. I mean, you could cast 24 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: him as this snooty French waiter in any movie or 25 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: TV show. I brought you this ketchup because you're American 26 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: and you put ketchip on everything. You know what I mean? 27 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: You could do that and it would it would work perfectly. Well, 28 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't really smile, doesn't really exude a 29 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: lot of warmth, but certainly exudes a lot of frenchness, 30 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: a lot of French coming from this guy. But they're 31 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: sitting there having a discussion about NATO. And here's what 32 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: the media wants you to believe. Let's start with that. 33 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: If you're just a casual observer of news channels and newspapers, 34 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: with of course the few exceptions that have not made 35 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: anti Trump is their business model. But if you happen 36 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: to take a look casually and just see what's going 37 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: on with NATO, you will read things and see things 38 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: about how Trump is terrible for NATO, He's been a 39 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: great threat. In fact, there was a CNN analysis this morning. 40 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: You can't make this stuff up. CNN analysis where he 41 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: said or where it was said, that Trump is the 42 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: biggest threat to NATO. And so there's some irony in 43 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: the fact that he is holding a meeting with different 44 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: NATO leaders, including an Emmanuel Macron of France. This is 45 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: is very stupid. This is aggressively stupid, as I was 46 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: fond of saying in the past, because first of all, 47 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: if anyone thinks that it's a greater threat than Putin, 48 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: I would really need them to explain that. I also 49 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: think that the threat that Putin poses to us as 50 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: a general matter is being exaggerated. I know that I've 51 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: been telling you for years now. The media, the Democrats 52 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: are completely willing to skip past the real concern that 53 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: China poses to US as a near peer competitor, a 54 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: country that at some point is going to try to 55 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: flex its muscles and say, sorry, America, you're not the 56 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: hegemon anymore. You don't get to make that call. Russia 57 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: is a fraction of the Chinese economy and a fraction 58 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: of the Chinese population. Let's be serious for a moment. 59 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: Anybody who tells you that Russia has a bigger threat 60 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: than China doesn't know what they're talking about or is lying. Well, 61 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: let's get back to NATO for a moment, shall we 62 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: You have the discussion over ISIS fighters that got the 63 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: most attention this morning from the Macron Trump meeting. Please 64 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: produce a Brandon Plick Club twelve for me, the very 65 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: first subjective in the regions is to finish war against 66 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: ices and and don't don't make any mistake. Your number 67 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: one problem are not the firm fighters. This is the 68 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: II fighters in the regions, and you have more and 69 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: more in fighters due to the situation today. This is 70 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: why he's a great politician because that was one of 71 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: the greatest non answers I've ever preferred. And that's okay 72 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: because sometimes if you can have some fundation from the 73 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: DPUs side. I don't say about freas in Fern, but 74 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: could be the press to say this is the European responsibility. 75 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,119 Speaker 1: I'm sorry to say that we have some of our people, 76 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: but if you don't think at the reality of the 77 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: situations that no one not to be ambiguous with these brooks. 78 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: This is why we thought that to discuss about our 79 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: relations were still key. But I think any ambiguiki was 80 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: Stilkey these books he's victim on to to everybody for 81 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: the situation. France has actually taken back some fighters. So 82 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: we have a lot of fighters, We captured a lot 83 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: of people, and we have captured one hundred percent of 84 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: the caliphate that you know that that means that it's 85 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: still going and going. We set a small contingent in 86 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: and we wiped out another portion of ices. We don't 87 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: want to happen to me what happened with President Obama 88 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: where it reformed and then it became stronger than it 89 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: was in the first place. So we don't want that 90 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: to happen. So this is the primary exchange that everyone 91 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: was focusing on between these two or leaders today. One 92 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: thing you see here is that the French, and this 93 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: is true of really all of our European partners, with 94 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: the possible exception of the Bridge, who do punch pretty 95 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: close to if not at their weight, on these matters. 96 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: We can count on the Brits in a way that 97 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: we really can't count on other European states, count on 98 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: the Aussies kind of the Canadians, but the French not 99 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: so much. The European states mine is Britain tend to 100 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: want to have a much bigger say, but much less 101 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: responsibility in all of these matters. And that's why Trump 102 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: was poking Makran a bit here with the cameras rolling, 103 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: knowing that this would perhaps get under the French leader's 104 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: skin a little bit. America is somehow responsible for whatever 105 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: outcome happens now in Syria. This is what you've been 106 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: led to believe. Meanwhile, we are supposed to be one 107 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: of many countries to have partnered up to deal with 108 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: the mess that is Syria. And all these people who say, oh, 109 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: we should just stay there and stabilize, stabilize until what, 110 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: until there's a challenger regime even place to Assad, because 111 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: that's going to be a pretty picture that's going to 112 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: work out really well. Or just stay indefinitely until Assad decides, Hey, 113 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: I want that piece of the country back because I'm 114 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: the leader, even if you want to pretend I'm not. 115 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: That doesn't look like it ends well for us. The 116 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: people that think that we should just stay in Syria 117 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: haven't really thought this through very much. They now point 118 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: to continuing operations against ISIS as somehow proof that we 119 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: should just stay forever. And I look at this and say, no, 120 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: we should be trying to remove our troops so that 121 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: they don't stay forever. And if we're in the last 122 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: phases of isis mop up, then so be it. There's 123 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: also always risk attended to any of these moves and maneuvers. 124 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: But what do the French really bring to the table here? 125 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: What do they do that is helpful in this process? Well, 126 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: sure they're a part of this coalition, and I'm sure 127 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: they would point to different ways that they have tried 128 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: to contribute. But we all know that somehow once again, 129 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: and America is in the leadership role. Oh you mean 130 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: that even under President Trump, America is in a leadership role. 131 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: America is calling the shots, has the greatest degree of responsibility. Really, 132 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: I thought that Trump abdicated it. I thought Trump was 133 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: destroying NATO. Wait you mean Trump got over one hundred 134 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: billion dollars of additional funding from NATO members for their 135 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: own defense. Remember, we are trying to prevent Russian aggression. 136 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: We also asked the question, it should be asked much 137 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: more frequently, what else should NATO will be doing? You 138 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: know what, NATO's only mission in recent memory really has 139 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: been Afghanistan. What is NATO doing in Afghanistan. We got 140 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: a lot of allies. We got this fancy NATO thing. 141 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: I guess we better use it. How has Afghanistan worked 142 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: out with this multi country coalition meant to stabilize it? 143 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: How many of you listening right now either served yourselves 144 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: or have friends, family members, loved ones who have served 145 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan to come back and say, that's not going 146 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: to be whatever the policymakers think it's going to be. 147 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: A being to bed. Almost all of them, probably all 148 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: of them. Anybody who served in a front line unit 149 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: there knows there's not going to be some stable democracy. 150 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: We're not gonna be able to point to this thing 151 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: and say, yes, another NATO success. But even to ask 152 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: these questions is treated as being Putin's puppet. This is 153 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: what they say, Oh, you're putting out Russian propaganda. Do 154 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: they realize or do they care? To the leftists who 155 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: hate Trump and the media acolytes of the Democratic Party 156 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: pretending to be nonpartisan, do they care that making Russia 157 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 1: into America's Enemy number one hurts us in a number 158 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: of ways. It hurts us with regard to fighting against 159 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: Islamic radicalism, where Russia is in fact an ally it 160 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: hurts us with trying to get the Russians to play 161 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: nicer and with more diplomacy on the European states on 162 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: their periphery. We have a lot in common with Russia 163 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: in certain areas. In others we don't. They view us 164 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: as oppositional. The Russian mentality is very much that they are. 165 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: They view themselves as surrounded. We view Russia as vast 166 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: eleven time zones. It's huge. They think of themselves though 167 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 1: its surrounded by hostile states. They have to look on 168 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: their periphery and see NATO to the west, see China 169 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: and Japan to the east and southeast, and then even 170 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: India pushing up from their south. From the underbelly, Russia 171 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: doesn't view itself as in some strategically sound position. Russia 172 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: views itself as a victim of geopolitical circumstances, and in 173 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: the post Soviet era even more so. Now I'm not 174 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: saying they're correct or that's right, that's helpful, but we 175 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: should at least understand what the mentality is and try 176 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 1: to work within that reality. Does anyone really want to 177 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 1: go to war with Russia? Better question, would anyone in 178 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: the Democrat press right now, which is really just the press. 179 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: They want to send their children to go fight on 180 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: the front lines of Estonia if there was a Russian 181 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: incident involving Maskarovka. I'm not talking about all the tanks 182 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: Roland and I'm saying some separatist movement where they all 183 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: happen to speak Russian and some of you know there are, 184 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: in fact many people in the Baltic States for whom 185 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: Russian is their first language, their whole communities. There would 186 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: not be that hard for this to happen. Are we 187 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: going to get involved in that fight? Now? You can say, yes, 188 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: you can take that position, but we should at least 189 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: people to have that discussion without the idiots in the media. 190 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: And I've realized now the media really is full of 191 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: people who have decided that it's not worthwhile to do 192 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: anything useful. It's much better for them to just try 193 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: to be in the cool kid club all the time, 194 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: to do whatever they have to do to impress the 195 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: corporate executives who can sign over paychecks that are far 196 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: bigger than what they would deserve if they weren't working 197 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: for legacy media outlets. They don't care how stupid they 198 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: look on these issues and how much. They push us 199 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: with their belligerence in the reporting, closer and closer to 200 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: an actual conflict with Russia, which would be horrific. By 201 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: the way, and I remember it's President Trump who blew 202 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: up a couple of hundred Russian paramilitaries in the Syrian 203 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 1: desert in order to protect our Kurdish allies, I might add, 204 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,599 Speaker 1: and Russia let that one go. We don't want to 205 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: keep having close calls with the Russian state. To say 206 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: that we should aim for better relations with Russia is 207 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 1: so obvious that it shouldn't have to be said. But 208 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: in our current environment, you hear the narrative Trump is 209 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: destroying NATO, Trump is Putin's puppet. Anything that deviates from that. 210 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: Any facts you can present that don't go along with 211 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: that narrative makes you a bad person. You're an idiot. 212 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: You don't know anything. That's what the media will tell you. 213 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: But hold on a second. What bad thing has happened 214 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: to NATO? Well, name one bad thing that has happened 215 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: to NATO because of Trump since he became the president. 216 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: If you NATO bureaus. A few European institutionalist types decided 217 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: that it was he was a little gruff when he 218 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: was asking for more money. Okay, guess what states paid 219 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: up more money and they said they would That was 220 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: the agreement that we had. NATO is nothing other than 221 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: an agreement. In fact, so in some states can say yeah, 222 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: we'll do this and then they don't do it. Doesn't 223 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: that undermine the very core of what holds it all together. 224 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: But there's never any discussion about any of this, That's honest. 225 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: It's just everything is about bashing Trump. Nothing can be 226 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: separate from bashing Trump. These people. This is the totalitarian mindset. 227 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: And you go back, you see the way it was 228 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: in the Soviet Union. If you were in any way 229 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: opposing the Soviet state, you were a counter revolutionary and 230 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: therefore you were to be nullified, you were to be destroyed. 231 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: For the media right now, they have a Soviet mentality 232 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: about Trump, especially because we're in this reelection cycle. Now 233 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 1: you're either trying to destroy President Trump or you're evil. 234 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: You're part of the problem. Every issue, every news story, 235 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what it is, even when we're talking about 236 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: things like conflict possibly between nuclear armed states. They're reckless 237 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: about this stuff. Putin's puppet, oh Russia, more sanctions on Russia, 238 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: more tough talk against Russia. Really, how far do we 239 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: really want to push that? Obama didn't push really much 240 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: at all. By the way, he got real tough with 241 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: Russia at the end of his presidency. We wouldn't have 242 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: to deal with it, didn't want to send those javelin missiles, 243 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: did the whole expulsion of Russian diplomats and added sanctions 244 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: after he was going to be out of office, and 245 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: wasn't his problem anymore. Really easy to be tough them 246 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: when you don't have to be the one that looks 247 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: into the eyes of parents who have lost their child 248 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: because of the stupidity of much older and allegedly wiser 249 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: elected officials who think they know what they're doing. But 250 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: really it's all about them in this whole process. It's 251 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: not about NATO. It's about defeating Trump. There people who 252 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: want power. The narrative of NATO that you are being 253 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: told every day has been completely misconstrued, distorted, and perverted 254 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: as a club yet again against the presidents of the 255 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: United States, and it is not based in reality. Just 256 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: remember that as you see all of this playing out, Well, 257 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: I haven't asked that to the president today. I have 258 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: over the period time. We have a tremendous amount of 259 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: captured fighters. ISIS fighters over Interia, and they're Roland, the 260 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: Latin Key, but many of from France, many of from Germany, 261 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: and many are from UK. They're mostly from Europe, and 262 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: some of the countries are agreeing. I have not spoken 263 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: to the president about that. Would you like some nice 264 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: ISIS fighters, I can give them. You can take everyone 265 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: you want. The very large number of fighters you have 266 00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: under Rome to fight us me from from your in 267 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: the region. This is true that you have foreign fighters 268 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: coming from Europe, but this is a tiny minoritia of 269 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: the whole problem we have in the region. And I 270 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: think number one priority because it's not yet finished. It's 271 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: a graduate of IIS and it's always corps. This is 272 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: our number one pio and it's not yet Dune. I'm 273 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: sorry to think that. Yes, you see that fighters in 274 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: this region, in Syria and now in Iraq and more 275 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: and more, and the whole the setidization of the region 276 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: makes the situation more difficult to fix, the situation against ISIS. 277 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: So who's going to be responsible for all those fighters 278 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: we have on the ground. You have all these people 279 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: that say that they know what to do in Syria, 280 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: they know what the end game is really Your thousands 281 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: and thousands of prisoners, what happens to them? They've all 282 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: been radicalized one way or another. Maybe some of them 283 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: now would claim that they've turned on the Islamic state 284 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: because it has crumbled. But anyone who would fight for 285 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: a jihadest army that engages in mass torture, enslavement, rape, 286 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: mutilation and murder, it's not somebody you're going to want 287 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: to let go anytime soon. Who takes all the Isis fighters. Well, 288 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 1: isn't it nice to have a president who looks at 289 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: some of the world leaders who are our allies, places 290 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: like France, and I do love France and the French people, 291 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: by the way, as much as I love will make 292 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: fun of zam Brandon. They're also it's a beautiful culture 293 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 1: with great food. That all said, sometimes a little bit 294 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: of tough love is necessary in diplomacy. Sometimes pushing our 295 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: allies a little bit to do things they don't necessarily 296 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: want to do means that we have to do less. 297 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: And therefore, oh, that's right. It's America first, isn't it. 298 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: Our interests should be pursued. That doesn't mean at the 299 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: exclusion of being helpful and keeping our word to our allies. 300 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: But it does mean that there's a whole other way 301 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: to approach these issues. You get more funding out of 302 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: NATO members. Maybe you also get some NATO members like 303 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: France to back anybody who's a French citizen who's an 304 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: ISIS fighter. How about that for a crazy idea. I 305 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: think it's very unpatriotic of the Democrats to put on 306 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: a performance where they do that. I do. I think 307 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 1: it's a bad thing for our country. Impeachment wasn't supposed 308 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: to be used that way. All you have to do 309 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: is read the transcripts. You see there was absolutely nothing 310 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: done wrong. They had legal scholars looking at the transcripts 311 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: the other day and they say these are absolutely perfect. 312 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: Trump is right when he uses those concepts. Those calls 313 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: that we've made, two of them were absolutely perfect calls. 314 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 1: And I think it's a very bad thing for our country. 315 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: Does it cast in cloud Well, if it does, then 316 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: the Democrats have done a very great disservice to the country, 317 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: which they have. The Democrats have done a disservice to 318 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: the country, but they're not stopping. They don't care about 319 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: the disservice they are doing, and so we have to 320 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,959 Speaker 1: now sit through this Judiciary Committee nonsense on Wednesday, another 321 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: kabuki theater attack Trump extravaganza. We have our friend Raheim 322 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: Kassam joining us now. He is the co host of 323 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: the podcast called War Rum, which is on impeachment and 324 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: related political matters. You can check that out on iTunes. Raheim, 325 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: Great to have you back, sir, Hey, thanks for having me. Buck. 326 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: All right, so let's before we get into your expectations. 327 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: And I know you're you're doing your show with Miller 328 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: and with Bannon, so you guys are neck deep in 329 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: this impeachment thing all the time. But before we get 330 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: to what your expectations are for Wednesday, how do you 331 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: assess what's happened so far? Is this? Have Democrats just 332 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: been stumbling left and right? Or do we not really 333 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: know what their strategy is? I don't think they quite 334 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: know what their strategy is. Buck, They went into this 335 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: whole process, they were effectively sold a bit of a 336 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: fantasy by this so called whistleblower. The fantasy didn't turn 337 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: out to be reality. We heard from the whistleblower very 338 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: early on in this process that they were things on 339 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: the phone call between President Trump and President Lensky, which 340 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: when the transcript was published, they weren't in there. Okay, 341 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: So the Democrats then had to pivot and they said, well, 342 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: we're going to bring all these witnesses in. We're gonna 343 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: bring people who were familiar with the president's thinking. We're 344 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: going to bring people who were familiar with the call, 345 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: who were on the call themselves. Let them elaborate on this. 346 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: And then they brought all of these witnesses in, first 347 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: in Adam Schiff's star chamber in the secretive basement Skiff 348 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: for the Capitol Building. Then Matt Gates goes in and says, 349 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 1: you can't do this privately. You have to do this publicly. 350 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: This is you're talking about attacking a democratically elected president. 351 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: Do it in public. So then they had to pivot 352 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: again start doing it in public and in public despite 353 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: all the remonstrations of CNN and The New York Times. 354 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: Actually none of the witnesses corroborated what the whistleblowers original 355 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: statement was, and none of the witnesses actually set out 356 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: anything that was illegal, that was unconstitutional, that was an 357 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: abuse of the president's power, And so now the Democrats 358 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: are having to pivot again. This week, we're hearing that 359 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi is quietly attempting to build a new impeachment 360 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: case around things other than Ukraine, going back to the 361 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: Muller report, going back to the Russia collusion hoax, and 362 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: of course Jerry Nadlow, who got ripped up by by 363 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: Cory Lewandowski in an earlier hearing earlier this year. You know, 364 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: you've seen how this Chairman of the Judiciary Committee crumbles 365 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: under pressure also, And I happen to believe therefore that 366 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,479 Speaker 1: after Wednesday, the Democrats are again going to have to pivot, 367 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: and I think they may even be looking at removing 368 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: withdrawing themselves from the impeachment staff and moving just onto 369 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: a censure vote against President Trump and leaving it at that, 370 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: because this is really harming them. It's harming them in 371 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: their thirty one swing districts they have to win next year. 372 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: It's harming their presidential candidates in their primary, and it's 373 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: really taking a toll on Nancy Pelosi and how the 374 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: base used Nancy Pelosi because she was seeming to be 375 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: pulling the line or towing the line, or Rashida Talab 376 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: but Alexander Cassio Cortez and the rest of the squad, 377 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: and it makes her look not a leader of her party, 378 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: but a follower of the far left elements that doesn't 379 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: think they know what their strategy. Now. I know your 380 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: podcast is war room. Let's war game. If we can 381 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: for a moment here this major decision that you got into. 382 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: You alluded to briefly about the possibility of Democrats just 383 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: doing a censure vote. Wouldn't that then be viewed? And 384 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: by the way, I'm always I'm always somebody who says 385 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: nobody can predict the future. I'm I would put my 386 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: certainty that they will impeach at high but who knows. 387 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: And as you're pointing out, this thing is not going 388 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: there's no way that Nancy Pelosi thought that this would 389 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: be where it is right now. And I think that 390 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 1: that much is clear. If they do a censure vote, only, 391 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: isn't that then going into a reelection cycle essentially an 392 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: admission that this was all just political nonsense and that 393 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: they didn't have the goods on them though, you know, 394 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 1: how do you view that component of it? I mean, 395 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: at least if they go to the mat Raheem Pelosi 396 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: can say we impeached, we did what we can. Yes, 397 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: she could say that, but then remember the public will 398 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: be able to see and view and read everything that 399 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: comes out in the Senate trial. There will be cross 400 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: examination and cross cross examination. There will be representations at 401 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: the very highest level on all of that. So she 402 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: might even want to avoid that process if she goes 403 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: for a censure and overseeing the impeachment process through. At 404 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: least she can say, well, look, we got a lot 405 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: of very serious information of very serious players. All these 406 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: are elected bureaucrats who are great patriots and everything that 407 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: she wants to say about them, and we had to 408 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: We were obligated to take them at their word and 409 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: have this process out. But it turned out that the 410 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: evidence was not an impeachable offense, although it was an 411 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: offense that the president should be censured over. And we 412 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: take our constitutional you know, we take our constitutional obligations 413 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: very seriously, and therefore that's why we're not pursuing this. 414 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: But if you want a president who's not going to 415 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: be censured for doing things on the international stage that 416 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: they shouldn't be doing, then you vote for one of 417 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: our guys next time. So at six of one and 418 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: half a dozen of the other. As far as Nancy 419 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: Pelosi's concerned, but she is probably more concerned about more 420 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: than actually losing face over the impeachment process, is actually 421 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: losing power over her own party. So she's trying to 422 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: weigh and measure right now, is there the appetite for 423 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: a full blown impeachment trial out there? Are these thirty 424 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,719 Speaker 1: one Democrats in the swing district's going to side with her? 425 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: Or are they going to actually vote a different way? 426 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: Are they going to distance themselves from party leadership, a 427 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: House leadership over this or can she do something that 428 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: pleases all sides which might be a censure vote? What 429 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: would be the game changer from the Democrat side? Do 430 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: you think that would be a realistic possibility on this 431 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: Wednesday hearing men, I saw the list of some of 432 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: the witnesses Raheem. It's as though they're trying to put 433 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 1: the American people to sleep. It's a constitutional law professors. 434 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: That doesn't seem to me like it's going to move 435 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: the needle. What could move the needle from Pula? You know, 436 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: what is Nadler going to try to do or is 437 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: you just going to repeat everything we've already heard and 438 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: hope that the repetition itself becomes the argument. Well, so, 439 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,239 Speaker 1: one of the things we're doing, or I'm doing as 440 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: part of my role in the War Room podcast, is 441 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: going through every single document, and yesterday you had the 442 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: Republican Minority report releases one hundred and twenty three pages, 443 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: and going through all of that, you can see why 444 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: Republican Council Steve Caster wasn't playing up to the cameras 445 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: in those public hearings over the last couple of weeks. 446 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: He was actually producing an evidentiary case because guess what, 447 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: when it goes to a Senate trial, there needs to 448 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: be an evidentiary record of what happened with Ukraine. There 449 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: needs to be an evidentiary record of what happened with 450 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: all these phone calls and text messages and WhatsApp, etc. Etc. 451 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: It's one thing, which is what the Democrat Council was 452 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: doing to try and pump up headlines and get CNN 453 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: to run funky Chiron's about you know what this witness 454 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: says is an impeachable offense or what this witness implies 455 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: happened between ambassadors on London David Holmes on a terrace 456 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: at a restaurant in Ukraine after a bottle of wine. 457 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: You know, that's one thing, But the other thing is 458 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: producing the evidentiary record. So now what they're doing in 459 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: the Judiciary Committee is they are trying to backpeddle it 460 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: away from the media. Gramming headlines, putting up constitutional law 461 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: professors lends more towards producing an evidentiary record, or at 462 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: least producing evidence to show that the press that has 463 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: somehow overstepped his constitutional role. That's why they're getting all 464 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: boring with this. They know they're losing the fight as 465 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: it pertains to the granularity and the detail of this 466 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: impeachment process. I think the big game changer is going 467 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: to be this. Look, if the Republicans manage to show 468 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 1: and to have any doubt cast from any of these 469 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: witnesses that say, look, maybe you disagree with the president's 470 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: foreign policy and the way he went about the foreign policy, 471 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: but do you see any evidence of wrongdoing, then that 472 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: will be a second hit. But they did it the 473 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: last time with all these other witnesses. Remember, none of 474 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 1: them were able to say, at the end of the day, 475 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 1: this was a directly appeachable offense. They just said, Oh, 476 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: I didn't quite like it. It didn't really fit with 477 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: my worldview. If they managed to get this out of 478 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 1: the next set of witnesses, that's two strikes. Nancy Pelosi 479 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: will then have a third attempt at bat to do 480 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: something different. It might be a censure vote, it might 481 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: be pursuing a full trial, but then you know she's out. 482 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: Ran Casam everybody. He is a co host of the 483 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: war Room podcast with Jason Miller and Steve Van and 484 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: they are diving deep into this every day. Right here 485 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: before we let you go real quick, I just wondering Brexit. 486 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: What's going on because it's been getting some headlines here 487 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: and there, and then it kind of faded because the 488 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: media is so obsessed with anti Trump is and where 489 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: does it stand right now? Yeah, probably faded because we 490 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: have a general election in the UK now coming up 491 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: on December the twelfth. This is an election that's been 492 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: called because there is a deadlock in Parliament. They can't 493 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: get things going either way, and so it looks like 494 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 1: Boris Johnson is going to be elected with a big 495 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 1: parliamentary majority, an eighty class seat parliamentary majority, and therefore, 496 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: by January the thirty first, he will be able to 497 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: take Britain out of the European Union, not perhaps in 498 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: the greatest way that some of us hardline Brixiteers like 499 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: myself and Nigel Barrage would have liked, but it still 500 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: will be a leave by January the thirty first, and 501 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 1: I'm optimistic about that. Less optimistic about pro amnesty liberal 502 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: Boris Johnson being Prime Minister for the next five years, 503 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Well, 504 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: it looks like Brexit might actually be happening. Isn't that 505 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: kind of amazing because the elite media seems to have 506 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: thought that they'd be able to just change this by 507 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: telling us that it's so bad. Nothing more powerful than 508 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: the will of the people, rightim Cassam, Everybody War Room 509 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: is the podcast. It's on iTunes. Check it out. Rheim, 510 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: thanks so much, my friend, Thank you. We rolled back 511 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: the Obama administrations cuddling up to Cuba by applying heavy 512 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: new sanctions. We've recognized that engagement has not improved Cuba's 513 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: regime and hasn't made it better. The human rights record 514 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: was worse. The risk to the Cuban people was worse 515 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: than the risk of the United States was worse and 516 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: their capacity to influence Venezuela even greater. So we've changed that. 517 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: We've allowed Americans to seek justice by suing the regime 518 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: in Havana to recover property that it stole a long 519 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: time ago. It only makes sense when Americans had their 520 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: stuff stolen, to give them a chance to get it back. 521 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: And we've applauded countries that have expelled Cubans who have 522 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: come to live as doctors inside of their borders, who 523 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: were really working on behalf of the government. These doctors. 524 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: This is a program that's hard to fathom. Sometimes they 525 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: send doctors to countries all around the world. They traffic 526 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: to generate income for the Cuban leadership. So the doctors 527 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: received ten or twenty percent of the revenue that they generate, 528 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: and the rist to fund the Cuban regime, posing up 529 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: to dictators. Right, That's what you always hear about Trump 530 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: from the mainstream media. And yet when you look back 531 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: at the record of the president that was elevated by 532 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: the media as some kind of god king Barack Obama, 533 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: turns out that he had quite a fondness in action 534 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: as a matter of policy, for dictators and regimes that 535 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: do not deserve anything in terms of concessions from America. 536 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: You see, this is where they always blur the lines. 537 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: You look at what's going on with North Korea. President 538 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: Trump has tried to so far unsuccessfully and let's be honest, 539 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: but has tried to create the basic interpersonal framework for 540 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: some kind of a grand bargain with North Korea. Have 541 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: any of the sanctions been lifted in North Korea? No, 542 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: In fact, the sanctions are stronger than they've ever been. 543 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: Has there been any concession made to North Korea? As 544 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,239 Speaker 1: a matter of policy? Do we not still board their 545 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: ships on the high seas and make sure that they're 546 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: not engaged in illegal trade, particularly contraband black market trade 547 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,239 Speaker 1: for missiles and other aspects of the arms trade. Make 548 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: sure they're not selling anything in violation of the crippling 549 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: sanctions on the country. Don't we still do all of that? 550 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: All Trump has done has said or spoken about Kim 551 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: John Gunn said some weird things, no question, but spoken 552 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: about him and spoken to him. With Iran, the Obama 553 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: administration came along and said, hey, so you don't have 554 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: to do anything that's really difficult for you, and we're 555 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: going to give you. We're actually going to deliver to 556 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: you huge palettes of US cash which you can then 557 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: fund your terror regime with. And we're going to make 558 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: sure that neither the Israelis nor anybody else would be 559 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: able to make a strike on your nuclear facilities because 560 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: you'll be under the ages. You'll be under the protection 561 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: of this international deal that the Obama administration with European 562 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: countries that have a long legacy of failure in the 563 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: Middle East, thought was a good idea. That's giving stuff 564 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: for nothing in return. We got nothing in return from Iran. 565 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: They have centerfuges that they could turn on, they could 566 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: turn them off. That doesn't that's not enough, that's not 567 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: a concession. With Cuba, you're the same situation. The Obama 568 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: administration has decided we've been mean enough to Cuba for 569 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: long enough. There's really no reason for us to take 570 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: the approach that we have to do anything about Cuba anymore, 571 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: or we should do a lot less. Let's be buddy 572 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: buddy with Cuba, with Castro's dictatorship, which continues, by the way, 573 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: to be an enormous thorn in our side. Not just 574 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: and when it comes to Cuban specific policy, but also 575 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: with countries like Venezuela, wherever the worst elements, the worst 576 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: political elements are operating, you know, the Marxist, communist, socialist 577 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: revolutionary types in the Western Hemisphere and here in North 578 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,239 Speaker 1: and South America or anywhere for that matter, you can 579 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: often find the hand of the Cuban regime. They are 580 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: running a totalitarian prison camp on that island, and they 581 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: love to export that anywhere else they can, and they 582 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: also like to leverage relationships with other brutal dictatorial types 583 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: in order to stay in power themselves, Venezuela being a 584 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: very good example of that. Despite the Jack Ryan movie 585 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: where their hero at Venezuela is the female social justice warrior, 586 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: yeah that's really the and the bad guys are those 587 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: right wing military types. Yeah they're the scary tale. Or 588 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: maybe the bad guy's social justice warrior Namaduro, who has 589 00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: destroyed that country, been responsible for unimaginable deprivation and misery 590 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: and despair. But Cuba is a bad regime. Didn't get 591 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 1: any better despite the concessions the extended hand from the 592 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: Obama administration, because ultimately there's just an ideological affinity for 593 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 1: Cuba that comes from a left in this country. In America, 594 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: we have a lot of people who are Democrats, but 595 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: they're really socialists, and they see socialists trying so hard 596 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,280 Speaker 1: to bring about that utopian society on the island of Cuba, 597 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: and yeah, they can admit that it hasn't gone according 598 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: to plan, but they still harbor this fondness for them. 599 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: Socialists tend to like other socialists. Is the really straightforward 600 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: way to look at this, and that's what we're dealing with, 601 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: what we were dealing with with the Obama administration in Cuba. 602 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 1: Secretary of State Pompeo seems to be setting it right now. 603 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,439 Speaker 1: You won't see much of the media covering this, though, 604 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,879 Speaker 1: will you, because it would be yet another Obama administration 605 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: foreign policy failure that has to be set right by 606 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,479 Speaker 1: the Trump administration. I understand it can be a little 607 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 1: bit awkward when you have to think about life insurance. 608 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: You don't want to have to consider what would be unthinkable, 609 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: but you have to prepare for an uncertain future and 610 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: make sure that your family is safe and secure. I've 611 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: gone through this process myself. It's something you need to 612 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 1: do and you should go to the place that makes 613 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: it easy for you. No hassle.

We are on the final 627 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: countdown for the Inspector General report from the FBI d 628 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: OJ on possible FIZA abuse fies of the Foreign Intelligence 629 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: Surveillance Act meant to catch spies and terrorists and somehow 630 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 1: deployed against Carter Page, who you could say is among 631 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: the most unlikely assets of a foreign government you could 632 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: find anywhere. Carter Page, who was a cooperative witness and 633 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: just an all around helpful guy to the FBI to 634 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: nail some other Russians before. So, if you were already 635 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: on the FBI's radar and you've had to help them 636 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: in another case involving possible intelligence activities of a foreign 637 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: government against the United States, you're going to try to 638 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: get the Russians to meddle in a presidential election, get 639 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 1: to coordinate with a presidential campaign. This is something that 640 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: only delusional or stupid people could believe. And yet, guess what, 641 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: when that Inspector General report comes out next week, there 642 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 1: will be a whole lot of people who are claiming 643 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 1: that it exonerates the FBI, that it means nothing was 644 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: done wrong, even though carter Page had a FISA collection 645 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: done on him, which to any normal, any sane person, 646 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: is obviously absurd. I will still never forget when carter 647 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: Page sat next to me, and which is before I 648 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 1: interviewed him the first time, and he told me that 649 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 1: he met my dad at an event in New York 650 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: City of all things, and my dad was like, who 651 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: but carter Page. It turned out he actually did meet 652 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: him briefly. They shook heads or something, but it was 653 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,959 Speaker 1: quite a quite an interesting broment. What a small world 654 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: we live in. Carter Page is not a Russian spy. 655 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: In fact, there was never even an allegation of any 656 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: criminal They couldn't even concoct a theory of criminal wrongdoing 657 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,879 Speaker 1: against Carter Page. And yet a US citizen had all 658 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,399 Speaker 1: of his communications, cell phone records, emails, text messages, all 659 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: of that just grabbed by the federal government because a 660 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: few FBI agents were hysterical around this conspiracy theory that 661 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: was really coming from the Hillary Clinton campaign. That's let 662 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: me skip to the end of the story for all 663 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 1: of you. What we will find out and I think 664 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: we'll find out from the Durham report. I'm not sure 665 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 1: if it'll be before after the twenty twenty election though. 666 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 1: Remember this is Inspector General Horowitz at the DJFBI. What 667 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 1: we will find out from the attorney US Attorney Durham, 668 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,360 Speaker 1: who is a lawyer's lawyer or prosecutor's prosecutor according to 669 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: both sides of the aisle up to this point, well 670 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 1: you'll find out from eventually is that the Hillary Clinton 671 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: campaign got this whole thing start. That there's whole Russia, Russia, Russia. 672 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:18,240 Speaker 1: It really had its origins in the Hillary Clinton campaign. 673 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: That this was a Hillary info up against Trump, and 674 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 1: that because people are such wild eyed left wing partisans, 675 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 1: because Democrats have become such petty totalitarians, they seized on 676 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: this and then abused their power in whatever ways they could, 677 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,799 Speaker 1: either in the press or in the government, to run 678 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: with this theory, to pursue this theory, to really almost 679 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 1: overturn the results of an election based on this theory, 680 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: and it came from the Clinton camp very early on. 681 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 1: That is my prediction to you as to where all 682 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: of us is heading, although it'll be some time before 683 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: we get there. What are we going to find out 684 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 1: about the Inspector General report, Well, let's just remember a 685 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:10,879 Speaker 1: few things before we before we do our pregame analysis 686 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,840 Speaker 1: here of everything, let's remember that the Inspector General in 687 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:20,719 Speaker 1: this case, Horowitz, was an Obama appointee who oversaw a 688 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 1: five hundred plus page report on Hillary Clinton's emails that 689 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:32,399 Speaker 1: was absolutely full of political bias, and Horowitz concluded, as 690 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: if by magic, that all of that bias in no 691 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: way affected the decisions that the Department of Justice made 692 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: about Hillary Clinton's emails. I am here to tell you, 693 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 1: and you won't want to hear this. Probably I'm here 694 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: to tell you that you should get ready for round 695 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: two of this. What you will likely see in this 696 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 1: Inspector General report is a whole lot of dubious decision making. 697 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 1: Just like with the press, right, the press gets stories wrong, 698 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:13,319 Speaker 1: but the stories they get wrong are overwhelmingly are overwhelmingly 699 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: I would even argue entirely when it pertains to Trump 700 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: anti Trump. It's always anti Trump stories. You will see 701 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 1: that the mistakes that the decision making at the FBI, 702 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 1: and you know fbis within DJ but I'll use these 703 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: go back and forth over these that the decisions made 704 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 1: in the Department of Justice about this FISA warrant and 705 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: this baseline theory that the Trump campaign was somehow colluding 706 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: with Russia, the decisions made through all of that. The 707 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 1: truth is, my friends, that they were all somehow negative. 708 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: The bad decisions were negative for Trump. Doesn't mean it 709 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:56,440 Speaker 1: was illegal. But you know, the tie goes to the runner, Well, 710 00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,319 Speaker 1: the tie goes to the anti Trump deep state here 711 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 1: every time, that's what's going to happen. So you'll see 712 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: this pattern of yeah, we gotta get this fizy, Yeah, 713 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: we gotta, we gotta do whatever we gotta do. We 714 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,720 Speaker 1: gotta stack it with the dossier. No one verifies anything, Doscia. 715 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,239 Speaker 1: It turns out the dossier is all crap and it's 716 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 1: a Hillary Clinton opposition document. You're gonna include that. Oh, 717 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: but you know, the excuse there is that the FBI 718 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 1: agents involved were lazy and stupid enough to believe the dossier. Okay, 719 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,319 Speaker 1: they're not bad people, they're just dumb and lazy. That's 720 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: going to be the excuse implicit in what comes out 721 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,320 Speaker 1: on this report. That's what they're going to fall back on. 722 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 1: The bureaucracy, you see, is not tainted. It's just inept. 723 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 1: It's just not very good at what it's supposed to do. 724 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 1: But that they can live with. You know, that's cost 725 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:56,800 Speaker 1: of doing business. Isn't that interesting? There is one wild 726 00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 1: card in this scenario, though, you see. They know that 727 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: they can count on Horowitz to be an institutionalist, to 728 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 1: be somebody who wants to defend the edifice of the 729 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 1: Department of Justice. It's so easy to convince yourself if 730 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,359 Speaker 1: you work in these government agencies. I work for the CIA, man, 731 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 1: I know, it's so easy to say, well, even if 732 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,319 Speaker 1: we colored a little bit outside the lines here, even 733 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: if this looks a little shady and shakes the faith 734 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: of the American people that these bureaucrats who are empowered 735 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:32,919 Speaker 1: for very specific ends do in fact abuse those ends 736 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 1: for partisan reasons. We still really need these places. We 737 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:43,280 Speaker 1: really need the Department of Justice, we need the FBI, 738 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 1: we need all these different seventeen members of the intelligence community. 739 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,759 Speaker 1: And because we need them, if we have to give 740 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 1: them more than the benefit of the doubt, if we 741 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 1: have to look the other way, yet, what are reasonable 742 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:06,759 Speaker 1: rational person would understand as malfeasance, Well then that's just 743 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,480 Speaker 1: the price of protecting these institutions. I noticed this is 744 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,839 Speaker 1: different than even somebody inside the bureaucracy who is left wing, 745 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:20,319 Speaker 1: who is ideologically willing to you know, the Lauretta Lynch approach. Yeah, 746 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna meet with Bill Clinton on the tarmac, pretend 747 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: it was a non secuit or conversation. Who cares all 748 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,439 Speaker 1: an accident. You know, I don't know what was said there, 749 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:35,440 Speaker 1: but she didn't want anyone else to know either. There 750 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 1: are ideologues inside the bureaucracy, people that clearly take the 751 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,840 Speaker 1: power that they have to try to help Team Democrat, 752 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,760 Speaker 1: help the left, help the socialists inside this country. Because 753 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,360 Speaker 1: they are the party of the state. But then you 754 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 1: just have people who are not necessarily and I don't 755 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 1: know enough about Horowitz to make the determination as to 756 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 1: which one of these camps he falls into, although he'll 757 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 1: be in one of them. And we know this because 758 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 1: of the Hillary email report was a giant a monument 759 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 1: to political bias. Political bias everywhere, that's clear. But did 760 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 1: that bias affect the decision making? This would be like 761 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 1: somebody saying to you, Hey, you know this federal judge 762 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 1: is presiding over this case. He's on tape the week 763 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 1: before he started presiding over the trial saying that the 764 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 1: defendant is a moron, an idiot. Smells bad, terrible. But 765 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: even though all of the judgments during the case made 766 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 1: by the judge went against this defendant, we have no 767 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 1: clear evidence that the bias that the judge established beforehand 768 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:57,279 Speaker 1: influenced any of those decisions. That is exactly what the 769 00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 1: DJ did with Hillary's emails. Now you would probably say, 770 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,279 Speaker 1: I mean, back hold on, a second federal judge would 771 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 1: have to recuse himself. Oh, you mean like Lauretta Lynch 772 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 1: recused herself, by the way, as the attorney general from 773 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,800 Speaker 1: the Hillary Oh no, she never recused herself from that. 774 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,320 Speaker 1: Did she remember how the Democrats play the game? Remember 775 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,399 Speaker 1: how we play. We have all these Republicans who are 776 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,880 Speaker 1: these little suck ups in the classroom who run around, Oh, 777 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 1: I never play rough. Oh well, the teacher give me 778 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 1: a pat on the head. You know, they're tending to 779 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 1: be never trumpers, and this is what they do. They 780 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,839 Speaker 1: run around. Oh, how could we be so so harsh 781 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: with the other side while the other side of just 782 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,359 Speaker 1: pounding our faces into the pavement all the time. That's 783 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 1: how the left plays the game, and we walk around, Oh, 784 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,160 Speaker 1: we have people on our side. Why are we being 785 00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 1: so Why does Trump say the mean things about the Democrats. 786 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,719 Speaker 1: I'm glad somebody does. It's about time. But they don't 787 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: recuse themselves from these things. They want to make sure 788 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 1: they maintain control and they can keep the pressure on 789 00:46:55,120 --> 00:47:00,279 Speaker 1: their opponents. This is what you're going to see play 790 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 1: out once again. Though the judge who says he hates 791 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 1: somebody then is in the trial makes every decision against 792 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 1: that person. But at the end of the day, you 793 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,520 Speaker 1: can claim you can't prove that the judge made all 794 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 1: those decisions because he hated the person, right that this 795 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,800 Speaker 1: is what you're going to see in this Inspector General report. 796 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 1: This is my prediction for you. There'll be some Yes, 797 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,439 Speaker 1: someone change some stuff here, but you know, they change 798 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:29,440 Speaker 1: stuff to make the warrant the FIES are warrant application stronger, 799 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 1: which is negative for Trump of course, and the Trump campaign. 800 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 1: Then it would have otherwise been and you know, maybe 801 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,440 Speaker 1: they didn't do as much due diligence. They kind of 802 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,440 Speaker 1: ram through all this stuff just so they can get 803 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,840 Speaker 1: the FIES in going because remember, what if what if 804 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,840 Speaker 1: things had turned out a little bit differently. We always 805 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,560 Speaker 1: think about Russia collusion and the possibility that using carter 806 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 1: Page would have been a way to backdoor get access 807 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,840 Speaker 1: to anyone that in the Trump campaign orbit that he 808 00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 1: had spoken to and any information he may have about 809 00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 1: the alleged Russia collusion. But what if they had found 810 00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 1: something else, What if there was some other criminality or 811 00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 1: collusion of some kind of what if there were campaign 812 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 1: finance anything that they could have found in this whole process. 813 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,239 Speaker 1: Look at how they went after a Manaphort, look at 814 00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:22,080 Speaker 1: how they're going after Roger Stone. You think they would 815 00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 1: have overlooked this was a way to get a fantastic, 816 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 1: wide open access to somebody in constant contact with the 817 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 1: Trump campaign, in different senior members of that campaign, and 818 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,319 Speaker 1: to do so on a fishing expedition, and to think 819 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 1: that it would all be kept secret by the way, 820 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,880 Speaker 1: which as we know now it will not be. This 821 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:50,440 Speaker 1: is a perfect way to bring down a presidential campaign 822 00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:51,960 Speaker 1: or to bring down a president And this is what 823 00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:58,080 Speaker 1: the other side did. But there is one wrinkle in 824 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:03,040 Speaker 1: the left's plans here, I said, Horowitz will not will 825 00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 1: not allow for there to be any real consequences or 826 00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,920 Speaker 1: accountability for the FBI won't allow it. It's not going 827 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 1: to happen. It doesn't matter what's there. He already said, 828 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 1: Lisa Page showed us that we can't really trust the 829 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 1: FBI or raise us. I forget the verbiage raises core 830 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,839 Speaker 1: issues of trust the FBI. We already know that's there. 831 00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 1: But now we look at the rest of them. We 832 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,880 Speaker 1: said to ourselves, hold on a second. They're going to 833 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,880 Speaker 1: present us with all this evidence of bias and wrongdoing 834 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 1: and then they're going to claim that there was no 835 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,040 Speaker 1: bias or wrongdoing. That's what's going to happen here again, 836 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 1: isn't it? And the answer is Yes, that's what I'm 837 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,480 Speaker 1: telling you to get ready for. But there's one problem. 838 00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,719 Speaker 1: They're not the only ones who get to shape the 839 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,040 Speaker 1: narrative here. There's another individual, as you know, one of 840 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 1: my favorites in the administration, another individual out there who 841 00:49:55,239 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 1: knows this game very well and probably saved Trump's presidents seal, 842 00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,640 Speaker 1: though we don't often talk about it that way, because 843 00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,680 Speaker 1: he knows the ambush that the left had had set 844 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,920 Speaker 1: for this president. He understands what they were doing, he 845 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,719 Speaker 1: knows what the dirty politics were, and that man, his 846 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:16,439 Speaker 1: Attorney General Bar the story in the Washington Post says 847 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:21,720 Speaker 1: it all my friends, Bar disputes key Inspector General finding 848 00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:28,200 Speaker 1: about FBI's Russia investigation from the Washington Post. We know 849 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:32,920 Speaker 1: exactly what's going on here. This is the story published yesterday. 850 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:37,120 Speaker 1: Attorney General William P. Barr has told the associates he 851 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,320 Speaker 1: disagrees with the Justice Departments Inspector General on one of 852 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,240 Speaker 1: the key findings in an upcoming report that the FBI 853 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,320 Speaker 1: had enough information in July twenty sixteen to justify launching 854 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:51,080 Speaker 1: an investigation into members of the Trump campaign. According to 855 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:55,360 Speaker 1: people familiar with the matter, the Justice Department Inspector General 856 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,880 Speaker 1: Michael Horowitz is due to release his long awaited findings, 857 00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,840 Speaker 1: but behind the scenes of the DJ disagreement at service 858 00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 1: about one of horow It's essential conclusions on the origins 859 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,160 Speaker 1: of the Russian investigation. The discord could be the prelude 860 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,960 Speaker 1: to a major fissure within financial law enforcement on the 861 00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:15,440 Speaker 1: controversial question of investigating a presidential campaign. Barr has not 862 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:20,920 Speaker 1: been swayed by Horowitz is rationale for concluding that the 863 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,439 Speaker 1: FBI had sufvision basis to open an investigation on July 864 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 1: thirty one, twenty sixteen. My friends, this is the Achilles 865 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,479 Speaker 1: heel of the whole situation. What have I been saying 866 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:36,520 Speaker 1: to you now for years? Mueller didn't even touch this. 867 00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,560 Speaker 1: Why how did this whole thing get started? Where did 868 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:43,440 Speaker 1: this come from? Or we're to believe that they just 869 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:48,880 Speaker 1: happened to have people near Papadopolis, But Papadopolis happened to 870 00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:54,120 Speaker 1: say a thing that Plice, We're not idiots. They had 871 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:59,280 Speaker 1: set up to get Papadopolis before this conversation he allegedly 872 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:03,800 Speaker 1: had with Downer in a bar in the UK. I 873 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:08,359 Speaker 1: believe papadop is running for a congress. By the way, yes, 874 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 1: that's what they believe that they want us to believe 875 00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:18,120 Speaker 1: that Bar knows. This is going to be the critical question. 876 00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,839 Speaker 1: There will be all this information presented, and people who 877 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,719 Speaker 1: are very invested in this will tell you they will 878 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 1: feign stupidity, they will feign an abject lack of judgment, 879 00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,640 Speaker 1: and they will say to you that the Russia collusion 880 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:36,839 Speaker 1: investigation was a duly predicated investigation from the start, meaning 881 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,680 Speaker 1: that there was something other than political malice as the 882 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:45,600 Speaker 1: real motivation for looking into all of this. Bar is 883 00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,840 Speaker 1: going to look at this according to support, and I 884 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,640 Speaker 1: believe in say not so fast. You're going to investigate 885 00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:55,840 Speaker 1: a presidential campaign based on what a very low level 886 00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,800 Speaker 1: advisory member of the campaign says to a guy in 887 00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:03,359 Speaker 1: a bar in the UK. You're gonna do You're gonna 888 00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:07,719 Speaker 1: make that call. You're then going to get FISA on 889 00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:11,920 Speaker 1: another low level member of an advisory board of the 890 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:18,600 Speaker 1: Trump campaign. Really, and you're gonna act like that's fair. 891 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,480 Speaker 1: I mean, look, you know you have people to walk 892 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,880 Speaker 1: into police stations across the country and say that you know, 893 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,239 Speaker 1: Elvis is in their shower and Osama bin Laden is 894 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:31,040 Speaker 1: hiding under their bed. If you sent in a squat 895 00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:34,040 Speaker 1: team kicked in the front door and shot a couple 896 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,320 Speaker 1: of people. Because you're doing a ray to find Elvis 897 00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,920 Speaker 1: and Osama, people would want to ask some questions like 898 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:44,759 Speaker 1: what the heck are you doing? That is going to 899 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,560 Speaker 1: be what we are faced with by the f behind now. 900 00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,120 Speaker 1: They were going to want us to believe they made 901 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:54,239 Speaker 1: stupid decisions in good faith, not because of politics, and 902 00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 1: bar is going to look at them it sounds like, 903 00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:00,120 Speaker 1: and say, not so fast, we know what you're up to. 904 00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:05,840 Speaker 1: This whole thing was in fact a hoax, an ambush, 905 00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,279 Speaker 1: and a scam. So people are making a lot of 906 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,479 Speaker 1: jokes about Bloomberg getting into the race at this point, 907 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:18,359 Speaker 1: and it turns out that Mayor Bloomberg has jumped into 908 00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,719 Speaker 1: in a very crowded field, fifth place according to the 909 00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:23,680 Speaker 1: most recent poll I've seen right away is that like 910 00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:27,880 Speaker 1: six percent ahead of Kamala Harris. S tells you a 911 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:32,240 Speaker 1: lot about the media's love affair with the Harris campaign. 912 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,880 Speaker 1: Is that's gonna have to come to an end at 913 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:39,680 Speaker 1: some point. There is really just no way that anyone's 914 00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,360 Speaker 1: going to be able to continue to pretend that she is, 915 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 1: as she once referred to herself, a top tier candidate. 916 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,200 Speaker 1: She is not a top tier candidate. But this is 917 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:52,960 Speaker 1: what the messages that we're getting from we're getting from 918 00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:58,839 Speaker 1: the Democrat voters who are being pulled here. They all 919 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,200 Speaker 1: know thing and one thing only. They don't want Trump 920 00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,840 Speaker 1: to be president. After that, it gets very hazy for 921 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,720 Speaker 1: a lot of them, because no person could look anyone 922 00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,879 Speaker 1: else in the eye with seriousness and say, yeah, Joe 923 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 1: Biden's the great Joe Biden the future of America. And 924 00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:23,239 Speaker 1: there was a cartoon circulating yesterday where somebody, a brilliant cartoonist, 925 00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:27,080 Speaker 1: created this little cartoon just set that Joe Biden. Yeah, 926 00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,600 Speaker 1: and I got hair on my legs, and my legs 927 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,640 Speaker 1: are the blonde hair and the hair is sticking up, 928 00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,600 Speaker 1: sticking up, staring at the sky, sun shining down on 929 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,399 Speaker 1: the legs. Little kids hopping around, dumping on my lap. 930 00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 1: I love it because my blonde leg hairs like all 931 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,719 Speaker 1: crazy straight. And then it's not. Then it's you know, 932 00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,840 Speaker 1: it's like flying around my head and I'm crazy. Some 933 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,480 Speaker 1: guy created a video of it and it was it 934 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,520 Speaker 1: was amazing, It really was. I wish I could show. 935 00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:55,680 Speaker 1: I wish those of you who are just listening on 936 00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,279 Speaker 1: audio we could show it to you, but it was 937 00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,160 Speaker 1: a stunning It was a starting to watch because this 938 00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:04,200 Speaker 1: is the person. We're in a country of over three 939 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,160 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty million people, and the best the Democrats 940 00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:11,720 Speaker 1: can do is this really old, not very bright, weird 941 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:16,160 Speaker 1: guy with some corruption issues that should get a little 942 00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,759 Speaker 1: more investigation. I think, you know, I think all of 943 00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,359 Speaker 1: that is fair. This guy's going to be the next 944 00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,359 Speaker 1: president the United States. He's going to be the one 945 00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 1: with the nuclear codes. We've been told for years Trump 946 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,480 Speaker 1: is not fit for office. Oh oh, I'm sorry. Joe 947 00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:38,480 Speaker 1: Biden is fit for office. I had seen references to 948 00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:46,400 Speaker 1: the infamous corn Pop showdown, but I realized yesterday that 949 00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:52,279 Speaker 1: we had not addressed the cornpop issue here on the show. 950 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,879 Speaker 1: And I feel like I am I am remiss as 951 00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:58,640 Speaker 1: a result, because in that same campaign stop where he's talking, 952 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:00,440 Speaker 1: we wearing a hair and my leg is blood, and 953 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,760 Speaker 1: the sticks in the sky and the sun in my eye, 954 00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:05,560 Speaker 1: and seven little chipmunks sitting on a brand she eat 955 00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,720 Speaker 1: a lot of acorns, you know what I'm talking about. 956 00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:14,880 Speaker 1: He also talked about his fight with at the public pool, 957 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:21,480 Speaker 1: the terrifying gang leader known as corn pop let Us 958 00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,640 Speaker 1: revisit this. Shall we plick clip one? I learned a lot, 959 00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:29,120 Speaker 1: and I learned that it makes a difference. This was 960 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,880 Speaker 1: the driving board area and I was one of the guards, 961 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,480 Speaker 1: and there weren't a lot of There's a three meter 962 00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,920 Speaker 1: board and you fell off sideways.

And 998 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just talking like this because I like 999 00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:28,920 Speaker 1: to talk like Thatt. This is Joe Biden. Everybody is 1000 00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,360 Speaker 1: so Joe Biden's talking all of a sudden. I mean, 1001 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,680 Speaker 1: you know, it reminds you of Hillary. Hillary got away 1002 00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:35,600 Speaker 1: with this tool one but you was at I'm so, 1003 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:40,240 Speaker 1: I'm so down, tied my feet done, hurt.

By the way, all the Midwestern people 1009 00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,720 Speaker 1: listening this right now are booing the crap out of me. 1010 00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,880 Speaker 1: And that's all right. I'm my Midwestern accent is not good. 1011 00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:02,360 Speaker 1: I agree, But she did do that sometimes. Joe Biden's 1012 01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,479 Speaker 1: doing it here too. Of these politicians. Remember Joe Biden 1013 01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:08,120 Speaker 1: will put you all back in chains. Joe Biden said, 1014 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:15,400 Speaker 1: So this is the Cornpop showed on first of all, 1015 01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,360 Speaker 1: I mean, even in the fifties, do you really think 1016 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:22,000 Speaker 1: that there was some nefarious character who carried around straight 1017 01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:26,200 Speaker 1: razors and threatened people in public places named corn Pop. 1018 01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:30,480 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's a lie. I'm just saying it 1019 01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:35,840 Speaker 1: doesn't ring true. But the Great Corn Pop Showdown of 1020 01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:41,560 Speaker 1: like nineteen sixty two or something whenever this was, I 1021 01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,600 Speaker 1: don't know. Here here's how I went to play Clip two. 1022 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,080 Speaker 1: There's a guy named bill Wright Mouse, the only white guy, 1023 01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,880 Speaker 1: and he did all the pools. He was the mechanic. 1024 01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,240 Speaker 1: And I said, what am I going to do? He said, 1025 01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 1: come down here in the basement where mechanics. Where where 1026 01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:00,200 Speaker 1: all the pool builder is. You know, the chain used 1027 01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,400 Speaker 1: to be a chain that went across the deep end, 1028 01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:04,680 Speaker 1: and he cut off a six foot and left the chain. 1029 01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:07,320 Speaker 1: He fulled up. He said, you walk out with that chain. 1030 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,080 Speaker 1: And you walked to the car and say, you may 1031 01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,360 Speaker 1: cut me man, but I'm gonna wrap this chain around 1032 01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:16,120 Speaker 1: your head. I said, you're kidding me. He said no, 1033 01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,200 Speaker 1: If you don't, don't come back. And he was right. 1034 01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:22,600 Speaker 1: So I walked out with the chain and I walked 1035 01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:25,720 Speaker 1: up to my car. And they had those days. You 1036 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:27,680 Speaker 1: used to remember the straight razor. You bang him on 1037 01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,160 Speaker 1: the curb, get him rusty, put him in the rain barrel, 1038 01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,840 Speaker 1: get him rusty. And I looked at him, but I 1039 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:37,360 Speaker 1: was smart. Then I said, first of all, I said, well, 1040 01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 1: I tell you get off the board, and you get 1041 01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:40,440 Speaker 1: off the board, I'll kick you out again. But I 1042 01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,600 Speaker 1: shouldn't have called you Esther Williams. I apologize for that. 1043 01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,360 Speaker 1: I apologize, but I didn't know that apologie is going 1044 01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:50,480 Speaker 1: to work. He said, you apologize me. I said, I 1045 01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,040 Speaker 1: apologize what I'm not for thrown you out, but I 1046 01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:56,360 Speaker 1: apologize to what I said. He said, okay, closed the 1047 01:01:56,440 --> 01:02:01,200 Speaker 1: straight razors, and my heart began to beat again. I mean, 1048 01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's telling you here that he was like about 1049 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:08,440 Speaker 1: to get into some gay warfare kind of fight. Remember 1050 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,680 Speaker 1: back in the day when they take the straight razor 1051 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:12,680 Speaker 1: and they make it all rusty? Is that is that 1052 01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,880 Speaker 1: a thing? People make the straight razor rusty? So that 1053 01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:19,360 Speaker 1: why why they think they're gonna give you a tetanus. 1054 01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,800 Speaker 1: I don't understand what this is all, But again, this 1055 01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,760 Speaker 1: is just this guy. Look he's he's just full of it. Man, 1056 01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:26,800 Speaker 1: He's always been full of it. It's amazing. He's like, 1057 01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm not tired to get off the board. Gotta get 1058 01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:34,000 Speaker 1: off the board. I've heard Joe Biden, he speaks normally 1059 01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,760 Speaker 1: without any any of this intonation whatsoever. But he thought 1060 01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,560 Speaker 1: that this would go over well with his crowd. But 1061 01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,480 Speaker 1: even more than that, it's just such a weird It's 1062 01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:45,440 Speaker 1: such a weird story for him to tell, and I 1063 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,320 Speaker 1: don't believe it. I mean, Joe Biden, he's walking out, 1064 01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,240 Speaker 1: He's walking to meet a guy who has a straight 1065 01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,600 Speaker 1: razor in the parking lot of a public pool. There's 1066 01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:55,560 Speaker 1: gonna be people everywhere, and he takes a chain out 1067 01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,200 Speaker 1: with him. I mean, do you believe that Joe Biden 1068 01:02:58,320 --> 01:02:59,960 Speaker 1: is some kind of badass he's willing to get into. 1069 01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:01,520 Speaker 1: You know, is this like the movie? What is it? 1070 01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:04,200 Speaker 1: The movie Warriors? Right? Isn't that where they the gangs 1071 01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,440 Speaker 1: in New York where they got the change come out 1072 01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,720 Speaker 1: to play a Yeah, I don't even know what that is, 1073 01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:12,400 Speaker 1: but I'm Starriors. It's yeah to play. I just know 1074 01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:14,280 Speaker 1: of the movie. But I know they all carry around 1075 01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:16,440 Speaker 1: ship that used to be a thing gang members that 1076 01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:18,120 Speaker 1: would carry a chance chain is not that good of 1077 01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:22,200 Speaker 1: a weapon, Yeah, exactly. I mean, if someone gives me 1078 01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,320 Speaker 1: the choice between a chain or a baseball bat, you 1079 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,320 Speaker 1: go baseball bat. Every time. I think you go knife 1080 01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,240 Speaker 1: over chain too. Yeah, you could throw it. Yeah, you know, 1081 01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:30,520 Speaker 1: it reminds me of how we used to think that 1082 01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:34,320 Speaker 1: like nun chuckoos were a serious weapon. They're in fact 1083 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,920 Speaker 1: illegal because people got so scared of them from movies. 1084 01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:42,000 Speaker 1: They're illegal in New York California. Now you cannot have 1085 01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:44,200 Speaker 1: It's like two pieces of metal with a string between it. 1086 01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,840 Speaker 1: That's illegal. And it's just because they're all these movies 1087 01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:48,840 Speaker 1: in the seventies and eighties where these gang members had 1088 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:52,440 Speaker 1: you known nun chuck nunchuckoos or numbchucks or you know, 1089 01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:54,920 Speaker 1: people call them different things. I believe the proper terminology 1090 01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:57,480 Speaker 1: is nun chuck us, but people call them numb chucks. 1091 01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:01,520 Speaker 1: That's what Michael Langlow said. That's right. The orange Nature Turtle. 1092 01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:03,360 Speaker 1: It's not. I mean, people saw that Bruce Lee movie 1093 01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,720 Speaker 1: and he's like hitting all these guys with No, it's not. 1094 01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,640 Speaker 1: It's not that easy. Actually, you really don't want you 1095 01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:11,840 Speaker 1: really don't want to be squaring off against somebody with 1096 01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,400 Speaker 1: with numpchucks. It's not it's not the best weapon. Not 1097 01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:16,800 Speaker 1: that I've been in a lot of gang fights. It's 1098 01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:18,480 Speaker 1: not gonna lie, you know, but I'm not the one 1099 01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:20,800 Speaker 1: sitting there like, hey, then a bunch of guys said 1100 01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:22,800 Speaker 1: they're gonna cut me with a straight race or not 1101 01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:25,840 Speaker 1: grab a chain. I put on my leather jacket with 1102 01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,439 Speaker 1: the cutoff sleeves I had. They had him a gang 1103 01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:30,520 Speaker 1: colors on the back, and I just went out, you 1104 01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:34,080 Speaker 1: know your next president of the United States, everybody. And 1105 01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:37,000 Speaker 1: this isn't from like twenty years ago. This isn't like 1106 01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:40,200 Speaker 1: him talking as a youth. This is a few weeks back. 1107 01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:44,439 Speaker 1: This is what the Democrats that. This is why Michael 1108 01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:46,600 Speaker 1: Bloomberg could get in the race and he's at you know, 1109 01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:49,000 Speaker 1: six percent, run off the back. This is the front runner. 1110 01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:50,880 Speaker 1: This isn't I'm not just making fun of some I'm 1111 01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:55,160 Speaker 1: like kookie candidate that nobody's you know, serious about. Is 1112 01:04:55,200 --> 01:05:01,560 Speaker 1: the Democrat front runner. This guy. Here's a fun question, 1113 01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:05,480 Speaker 1: ask your Democrats, what is the big idea that Joe 1114 01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:10,000 Speaker 1: Biden is running with and in support of. He's just 1115 01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:15,200 Speaker 1: a vessel for people's wishing longing for the Obama era. 1116 01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:17,480 Speaker 1: That's really it. There's nothing that's not an idea, that's 1117 01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:20,040 Speaker 1: that's a fantasy. We're not going back to the Obama air. 1118 01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:23,600 Speaker 1: We're not going back to politics pre Trump. Liberals need 1119 01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:25,440 Speaker 1: to get a hold of this, They need to get 1120 01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:29,120 Speaker 1: an understanding of this. But I think it's gonna happen 1121 01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,040 Speaker 1: anytime soon. Everybody. We got our friend David Harsani in 1122 01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:34,720 Speaker 1: the mix.

You know how it works these days, as 1132 01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:05,680 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if things are actually true or not. 1133 01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,440 Speaker 1: I have to sort of research to make sure that 1134 01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,200 Speaker 1: these things are actually happening, and they are they are legitimate. 1135 01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:13,240 Speaker 1: So I am having fun. Yet, I mean, how can 1136 01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:16,880 Speaker 1: this guy what is he? Why is Biden? I was 1137 01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:18,560 Speaker 1: just talking this before we called him. Why is Biden 1138 01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:20,760 Speaker 1: the front runner? What is your take? How is this 1139 01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:25,360 Speaker 1: guy who's really somewhat clownish and preposterous and not even 1140 01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:29,920 Speaker 1: not even entertaining clownish? What's going on? Well? I think 1141 01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:33,320 Speaker 1: people envision him as a certain kind of candidate, and 1142 01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:37,680 Speaker 1: without really paying that much attention to him, he's people 1143 01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,480 Speaker 1: forget he's you know, he's had failed presidential candidatis and 1144 01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:44,520 Speaker 1: not like slightly failed, but just like complete disasters before, 1145 01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:47,320 Speaker 1: and he's not ever been that great a politician. I 1146 01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:50,080 Speaker 1: think what's happened is that people are looking for a 1147 01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:53,520 Speaker 1: candidate who can win. So it's some kind of moderate candidate, 1148 01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:55,920 Speaker 1: and he, I guess fits that bill and has enough 1149 01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:58,800 Speaker 1: experience in name recognition that it puts him in the lead. 1150 01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:00,720 Speaker 1: And people keep telling me he's going to fall apart 1151 01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:02,919 Speaker 1: and it's going to be over. But every poll I see, 1152 01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:05,960 Speaker 1: you know, he seems a pretty clear front runner to me. 1153 01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:08,840 Speaker 1: Now Bloomberg is in at i think six percent in 1154 01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,760 Speaker 1: the poll. Do you think that he shakes things up 1155 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:14,120 Speaker 1: and makes anything, makes any noise that's worth hearing, at 1156 01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:18,280 Speaker 1: least in terms of changing things around. I'm not sure yet. 1157 01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:21,320 Speaker 1: I think that there's obviously some I mean, it feels 1158 01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,000 Speaker 1: to me like Democrats that haven't found the candidate, that 1159 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,800 Speaker 1: they're looking for someone who they feel like can win, 1160 01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,160 Speaker 1: someone who's not too far to the left. You know, 1161 01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:34,440 Speaker 1: at least certain Democrats so it's possible that he can 1162 01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:37,240 Speaker 1: take some of that, some of that away from maybe 1163 01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:41,000 Speaker 1: Biden or mayor Peter or things like that. But in 1164 01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,320 Speaker 1: the end, though, I just don't I don't think he's 1165 01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:46,200 Speaker 1: likable enough, and I don't think that his positions are 1166 01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:49,240 Speaker 1: of the moment, especially on the left. Why can't may 1167 01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:53,120 Speaker 1: or Peak get more traction. I think he's actually kind 1168 01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:55,200 Speaker 1: of a lightweight when you really listen to him. I mean, 1169 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:56,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the reason. I just think 1170 01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,160 Speaker 1: maybe it's a name recognition thing, maybe because it looks 1171 01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,400 Speaker 1: like he's in second rate. I mean, you know, it 1172 01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:04,400 Speaker 1: could be various things that turn off people. And there's 1173 01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,600 Speaker 1: still so many people running, so you never know, once 1174 01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,640 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris drops out or other people he may get, 1175 01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:12,320 Speaker 1: you know, those people might come over to him. So 1176 01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:14,919 Speaker 1: out of the people still left, I think he still 1177 01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:16,720 Speaker 1: has somewhat of a chance. And do you think that 1178 01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:20,800 Speaker 1: in taverns and local bars across the country, people are 1179 01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:24,560 Speaker 1: going to be pouring out some shots for the tragically 1180 01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:30,800 Speaker 1: ended set Stack campaign. Sometimes I'm like, oh, yeah, he 1181 01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:34,800 Speaker 1: was running. It's weird. I guess people have nothing to 1182 01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:36,600 Speaker 1: lose anymore when they run, so you get tons of 1183 01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,720 Speaker 1: people running just for maybe because they want to be 1184 01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:40,599 Speaker 1: VP or something like that. I mean, it's like Michael 1185 01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,000 Speaker 1: Bennett still running. I don't even know. Yeah, that's a 1186 01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,400 Speaker 1: good question, by the one. Are your expectations for the 1187 01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,640 Speaker 1: IG report as it's just now days away. I mean 1188 01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,439 Speaker 1: I've been telling everybody that I think that there'll be 1189 01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:54,400 Speaker 1: some bad stuff, but it'll be just like what the 1190 01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:57,479 Speaker 1: bureaucracies always do. Would you say, well, you know, there 1191 01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:00,280 Speaker 1: were some minor mistakes made, but overall everything's on and 1192 01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:01,920 Speaker 1: there's nothing really to be worried. There's no deep state, 1193 01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:03,400 Speaker 1: there's nothing to be worried about. What do you think? 1194 01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,759 Speaker 1: I think that you're probably right though. All the leaking 1195 01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:10,519 Speaker 1: going on these days, and in all the sort of 1196 01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,479 Speaker 1: preemptive defenses that are going on, it makes me think 1197 01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:15,960 Speaker 1: that maybe it'll you know that people are a little 1198 01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 1: bit worried about what's in there, But I mean generally 1199 01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,200 Speaker 1: you don't see the bureaucracy saying, you know, they've sort 1200 01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:23,519 Speaker 1: of you know, give you a pat on the hand 1201 01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:25,200 Speaker 1: or whatever. They don't you know, they're not going to 1202 01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:28,080 Speaker 1: really come out. Yeah. Do you remember the five hundred 1203 01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,360 Speaker 1: page Horowitz Report where it was I read this thing 1204 01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:32,479 Speaker 1: and I remember thinking, well, this is this looks terrible. 1205 01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:35,000 Speaker 1: I mean, this is bias everywhere. They're like, well, you know, 1206 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,040 Speaker 1: just because you have every reason to believe somebody's biased 1207 01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,439 Speaker 1: doesn't mean their actual decision. I mean, it seemed to 1208 01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:42,559 Speaker 1: me that the Inspector General reports set a standard where 1209 01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:44,920 Speaker 1: unless you have people working the DOJ who are saying, 1210 01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:47,400 Speaker 1: I am doing this because I think Hillary is going 1211 01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:49,519 Speaker 1: to be president and I want to help her, there's 1212 01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:52,120 Speaker 1: no bias. You can't prove it, right, We can never 1213 01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:54,840 Speaker 1: prove it, or it's almost impossible to prove intent. But 1214 01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,240 Speaker 1: that's why they haven't rules set up so that you 1215 01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:01,200 Speaker 1: don't even either create the impression there's something some bias 1216 01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,960 Speaker 1: going on, or that there is bias going on. So 1217 01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,280 Speaker 1: obviously when you break those rules, you break them for 1218 01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:08,600 Speaker 1: a reason. When you say things, you say them for 1219 01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,240 Speaker 1: a reason. So to me, it's incredible that we keep 1220 01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:15,000 Speaker 1: talking about the intent rather than the professionalism of the 1221 01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:18,200 Speaker 1: agents that you're talking about. Yeah, there's definitely going to 1222 01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:20,720 Speaker 1: be a drop in the stock in my opinion of 1223 01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:25,120 Speaker 1: the f behind the DOJ whenever this thing comes out. 1224 01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:28,639 Speaker 1: It's actually terrible in a way that Americans can trust 1225 01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,120 Speaker 1: their institutions anymore. And it's not. And everyone wants to 1226 01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,840 Speaker 1: blame Trump, Trump and Trump fans and all that stuff, 1227 01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,400 Speaker 1: but they do most of this to themselves. Now I think, 1228 01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:38,000 Speaker 1: I think that's absolutely true. And I think as we 1229 01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:42,719 Speaker 1: continue to see the Democrat standard here as always, Trump 1230 01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:45,160 Speaker 1: is a stronger institutions. And then they talk about to 1231 01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:48,639 Speaker 1: stronger institutions, and maybe that's actually a perfect place, David 1232 01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:51,439 Speaker 1: to transition to your piece up in National Review. So guys, 1233 01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:54,880 Speaker 1: hold one sec we'll get into that.

He's telling us 1250 01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:58,280 Speaker 1: a little bit about his piece or he's about two 1251 01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:03,320 Speaker 1: antimajority arm isn't on American David. Thanks for staying with us, 1252 01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:06,120 Speaker 1: O my pleasure. All right, So you're talking about Atlantic 1253 01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:11,439 Speaker 1: writer Adam sir wars attack on Trump supporters, essentially saying 1254 01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:14,280 Speaker 1: that because they want judges, for example, that will defend 1255 01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:18,320 Speaker 1: their rights, that that's not accountability to democracy. Walk us 1256 01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:22,000 Speaker 1: through this new trend in left wing public intellectual thought 1257 01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:24,680 Speaker 1: and why it's basically crazy. But I'll let you put 1258 01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,280 Speaker 1: in your own words. Well, I mean, the new case 1259 01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:31,479 Speaker 1: against Trumpism is that social conservatives have sold their soul 1260 01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:33,960 Speaker 1: so they can because they can sell their ideas through 1261 01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:38,160 Speaker 1: the democratic process, they will use undemocratic means, using Donald 1262 01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:40,800 Speaker 1: Trump to get what they want. This is kind of 1263 01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:45,960 Speaker 1: a ridiculous contention for one reason. For the most the 1264 01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,759 Speaker 1: biggest reason is that Obviously Donald Trump has selected president. 1265 01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:51,479 Speaker 1: So it's not as if social conservatives haven't won anything 1266 01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:53,720 Speaker 1: they ran. You know, conservative are in the House and 1267 01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:57,080 Speaker 1: until recently, and they run the Senate for years, they 1268 01:12:57,120 --> 01:13:00,200 Speaker 1: can win elections. This is all based simply on one 1269 01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,880 Speaker 1: popular vote. More that Trump never ran for that's imaginary. 1270 01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:06,040 Speaker 1: But more than that, they believe that anytime the court 1271 01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:08,880 Speaker 1: strikes down something in their favor for religious liberty or 1272 01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:12,800 Speaker 1: gun rights or free speech, that social conservative are using 1273 01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:17,360 Speaker 1: some kind of undemocratic system, whereas democrats, I mean, abortion, 1274 01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,920 Speaker 1: gay marriage, is a whole list of lidany of things 1275 01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,240 Speaker 1: in other cases that they've been upheld by the courts 1276 01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:24,840 Speaker 1: that they would never have had without the courts, that 1277 01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:26,960 Speaker 1: they've never called those on democratics. So I just think 1278 01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:30,960 Speaker 1: it's a hypocrisymb just simply untrue. And you know, yesterday 1279 01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,800 Speaker 1: we talked a little bit here about the Elizabeth Warren 1280 01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:37,160 Speaker 1: promised to get rid of the electoral college. Is this 1281 01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:42,400 Speaker 1: just shameless pandering from Warren? I mean she does a 1282 01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:44,679 Speaker 1: lot of that, or do you think that she would 1283 01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,519 Speaker 1: really if she could, would she really want to do that? 1284 01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:50,120 Speaker 1: One hundred percent believe she would want to do that 1285 01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:52,160 Speaker 1: if she could. I mean, there are efforts underway to 1286 01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:53,920 Speaker 1: get a bunch of states to sign a pack to 1287 01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:57,439 Speaker 1: to to throw away their votes to a popular vote 1288 01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:01,120 Speaker 1: in their electoral votes, to a popular vote overall, if 1289 01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:02,800 Speaker 1: they could, and I'm sure she would do it. I'm 1290 01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:05,120 Speaker 1: sure Bernie Sanders would do it. I mean other people. Obviously, 1291 01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:08,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if what Joe Biden would do. But 1292 01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:10,760 Speaker 1: I just don't understand. So people tell me, oh, you 1293 01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:12,400 Speaker 1: know that's never going to happen, don't worry about it. 1294 01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:15,080 Speaker 1: You can still vote against Trump. Well I shouldn't. I 1295 01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:18,640 Speaker 1: take what politicians say seriously, meaning they're telling me they 1296 01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:20,680 Speaker 1: want to overturn the system. But you're telling me that's 1297 01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:22,360 Speaker 1: what you're telling me Trump is doing. But these people 1298 01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:25,120 Speaker 1: are openly advocating for the very same things you're telling 1299 01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:27,439 Speaker 1: me Trump is doing that he's not. So it makes 1300 01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:29,920 Speaker 1: no sense to me. Now is your what is your 1301 01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:33,120 Speaker 1: best case for why we should keep the electoral College? 1302 01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:36,280 Speaker 1: By the way, Well, because we have we have fifty 1303 01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:40,040 Speaker 1: different states that deserve their you know, in a diffused democracy, 1304 01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:42,640 Speaker 1: deserve their own say, rather than having California and New 1305 01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:47,080 Speaker 1: York running the country. If you had if you had 1306 01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:49,320 Speaker 1: no electoral college. You know, Trump would have run a 1307 01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:51,840 Speaker 1: different campaign. He'd be in New York, he being California, 1308 01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:55,280 Speaker 1: pandering to those people with more liberal kind of ideas, 1309 01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:57,479 Speaker 1: and we'd have two states that mattered in a bunch 1310 01:14:57,479 --> 01:14:59,719 Speaker 1: of states that didn't. That's not how the founders envisioned 1311 01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:03,280 Speaker 1: the treat Well, I certainly agree with that. I'm just wondering, 1312 01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:09,760 Speaker 1: what are your expectations for this Wednesday's judiciary hearing and impeachment? 1313 01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:13,080 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I don't even know. I mean, I think 1314 01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:15,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a lot of that same where the 1315 01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,960 Speaker 1: press is like, you know, you can always tell where 1316 01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:19,840 Speaker 1: there's going to be a tweet that's just annoying and 1317 01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:22,960 Speaker 1: untrue when someone has to put wow when they first tweet. 1318 01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:26,080 Speaker 1: You know, these reporters now do or like three exclamation points. 1319 01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:27,720 Speaker 1: You're gonna get a lot of that, and then when 1320 01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:30,519 Speaker 1: you actually read what was said, it'll be more of 1321 01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:33,320 Speaker 1: the same. I just don't think anyone's mind is being 1322 01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:36,840 Speaker 1: changed here. I don't think presidential candidates a lovely idea 1323 01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:40,640 Speaker 1: of impeachment. And you know, how do you line this? 1324 01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,000 Speaker 1: I mean, because I agree, by the way, I love 1325 01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,720 Speaker 1: seeing all these and it's fun to guess at what 1326 01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,519 Speaker 1: some reporters are going to say about certain certain uh 1327 01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, witnesses and this impeachment thing before they even say, 1328 01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:54,639 Speaker 1: because it's really easy. They're like, oh my gosh, Trump, 1329 01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:57,559 Speaker 1: this is the final you know, now he's gone too far, 1330 01:15:57,960 --> 01:15:59,360 Speaker 1: and then they end up writing it. I mean, these 1331 01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:01,799 Speaker 1: people have no they're not not only are they bad fingers, 1332 01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:04,719 Speaker 1: they have no originality which is really really pretty annoying 1333 01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:07,640 Speaker 1: skepticism about anything. I mean, I understand you on like 1334 01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:11,479 Speaker 1: trumpets show some skepticism towards both sides. I mean, that's 1335 01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:13,519 Speaker 1: what a good reporter should be doing. Yeah, that's that's 1336 01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:15,000 Speaker 1: been totally a band. I want to ask about it 1337 01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:17,400 Speaker 1: about that actually, because I think that people tend to 1338 01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:24,120 Speaker 1: look at Trump as the this singular exposure of the 1339 01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:27,200 Speaker 1: media in a way that has never really been done before. 1340 01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:28,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's some truth to that. To 1341 01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:30,799 Speaker 1: be sure, he goes after them in a way publicly 1342 01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:33,160 Speaker 1: and has a megaphone. They're not used to anyone ever 1343 01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:34,960 Speaker 1: having a megaphone that can match what they can do, 1344 01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:36,560 Speaker 1: usually in a left right. So Trump all of a 1345 01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:41,600 Speaker 1: sudden is at least able to meet them at a 1346 01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:44,479 Speaker 1: pretty equivalent level in terms of how many people he 1347 01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:46,360 Speaker 1: can reach and how he doesn't have to go through 1348 01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:48,679 Speaker 1: them in the same way. But I also you mentioned 1349 01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:51,280 Speaker 1: Twitter all the exclamation points. I think that Twitter is 1350 01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:55,600 Speaker 1: in a sense that the death of quote nonpartisan journalism, 1351 01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:58,240 Speaker 1: because we just see all these journals all day long, like, 1352 01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:01,200 Speaker 1: what do they retweet, what are they like? What do 1353 01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:03,559 Speaker 1: they say? I mean, it's sort of like the DOJ 1354 01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:05,519 Speaker 1: thing where they say, well, there's lots and lots and 1355 01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:07,720 Speaker 1: lots of bias about the Hillary email thing, but we 1356 01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:10,800 Speaker 1: can't prove that any of those decisions were biased. It's 1357 01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,760 Speaker 1: just that there was people saying bias stuff. I feel 1358 01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:15,920 Speaker 1: like it's the same argument getting out with journalists where 1359 01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:19,120 Speaker 1: it's anti Trump screeds all day in the Twitter feed, 1360 01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:22,320 Speaker 1: either retweeted or shared or liked or written themselves. But 1361 01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:25,200 Speaker 1: then when they're covering the Capitol Hill stuff, it's like, well, 1362 01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:29,120 Speaker 1: we're honest, we're honest brokers in this Yeah. I mean, 1363 01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:32,080 Speaker 1: Twitter has been a revelation in the sense of showing 1364 01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:34,280 Speaker 1: us what all these journals are really like and what 1365 01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:37,479 Speaker 1: they think they can control themselves. And obviously I don't 1366 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:39,599 Speaker 1: know what that's like. I'm having had to control myself 1367 01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:42,479 Speaker 1: in that way for a long time, but they simply 1368 01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:46,479 Speaker 1: can't not retweet things. And once Trump does, you know, 1369 01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,479 Speaker 1: start doing what he does where he's just sort of 1370 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:52,000 Speaker 1: pushes right back and over the top stuff, they feel 1371 01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:53,840 Speaker 1: like now they can you know, they don't have to 1372 01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,719 Speaker 1: pretend that they're not completely biased. I mean, CNN runs 1373 01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,400 Speaker 1: an anti Trump organization. They have no interest in any 1374 01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:02,519 Speaker 1: sort of other truth. So, you know, I think that 1375 01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:04,559 Speaker 1: that's bad for the American people in a way because 1376 01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:07,160 Speaker 1: we don't choose a journalists anymore. But in another way, 1377 01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:09,360 Speaker 1: at least it tells us what the truth is and 1378 01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:11,639 Speaker 1: that we can just deal with it, deal with them 1379 01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:14,640 Speaker 1: in a more honest way. So that's what it is, 1380 01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:18,520 Speaker 1: David Harsani. Everybody, he approaches lots of things with skepticism. 1381 01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:20,479 Speaker 1: So that's the good dude, is he. It's not easily 1382 01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:28,080 Speaker 1: easily swayed. Anti majoritarianism, isn't an American that's a national review. 1383 01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:30,439 Speaker 1: David Harsani, thank you so much, so we'll talk to 1384 01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:32,760 Speaker 1: you soon. Thank you. There's no question that the far 1385 01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:35,959 Speaker 1: left thinks it is ascendant right now in our politics, 1386 01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:39,280 Speaker 1: and I think that they are on some solid ground 1387 01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:43,480 Speaker 1: in thinking. So you've got Sanders and Warren who are socialists. 1388 01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:46,360 Speaker 1: They're socialists. We could sit around and talk about the 1389 01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:49,960 Speaker 1: nuances and the variations. They are socialists, and they are 1390 01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:52,360 Speaker 1: number two and three right now in all the polls, 1391 01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:56,960 Speaker 1: and that means, by the way, if you combine their numbers, 1392 01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:59,120 Speaker 1: it'd probably be meaning if one of them drops out, 1393 01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:03,439 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Bunny, but who knows, Maybe it's gonna 1394 01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:06,559 Speaker 1: be warn. He wants to see if he can help 1395 01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:12,920 Speaker 1: last the lesser socialist Elizabeth Warren. But that's that's another 1396 01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,240 Speaker 1: way of looking at this, so that we all understand 1397 01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:20,360 Speaker 1: exactly how left wing the Democratic Party has gotten. And 1398 01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:23,240 Speaker 1: you even have some candidates now who are quite far left. 1399 01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:26,800 Speaker 1: We'll be running in twenty twenty, including mister jenk Uger. 1400 01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:28,680 Speaker 1: And I do not know if i'm pronouncing his life 1401 01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:30,960 Speaker 1: pronounce his first name, because he's known as jenk. I 1402 01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:34,800 Speaker 1: know that that's his name. I've talked to him before. Uger. 1403 01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:36,519 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that's how you say's last name, 1404 01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:38,760 Speaker 1: but I'm not trying to mispronounce it. That's a that's lame. 1405 01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:41,760 Speaker 1: I just don't know how to say it. But he's 1406 01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:46,680 Speaker 1: running for Congress now and he is, as you may 1407 01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:50,040 Speaker 1: some of you may know, the founder of the Young Turks, 1408 01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:53,960 Speaker 1: which is an online probably the most far left. I mean, 1409 01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,160 Speaker 1: it's kind of like The Nation, which is a bunch 1410 01:19:56,160 --> 01:20:01,240 Speaker 1: of commies where to found a news an online news program. 1411 01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:03,800 Speaker 1: They raised a whole bunch of money from, you know, 1412 01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:09,720 Speaker 1: a left wing multi multi millionaire or billionaire recently. That's 1413 01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:12,439 Speaker 1: so they're very well funded socialists, which tends to be 1414 01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:16,839 Speaker 1: the case. People that love to benefit from the excesses 1415 01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,519 Speaker 1: of capitalism and then talk about or rather just benefit 1416 01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:23,439 Speaker 1: from capitalism and then like to talk about how they 1417 01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:27,200 Speaker 1: hate capitalism. I hope to one day be so rich 1418 01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:29,640 Speaker 1: that I can talk about how we shouldn't live in 1419 01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:32,040 Speaker 1: a societymore where people can get rich, let's close the 1420 01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:34,640 Speaker 1: door for everybody else. I would have be one of 1421 01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:36,519 Speaker 1: these rich people who's like, I don't think anybody else 1422 01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:39,559 Speaker 1: should be really rich, you know, and therefore I am 1423 01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:43,680 Speaker 1: I am justifying my richness by saying that nobody else 1424 01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:46,400 Speaker 1: should be rich. That would be That would be a fun, 1425 01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:49,680 Speaker 1: self indulgent place to be, wouldn't I think there's no 1426 01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:55,160 Speaker 1: question about that. But the Young Churches also employed some 1427 01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:59,479 Speaker 1: of the nastiest, dumbest, and most vicious and stupid left 1428 01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:03,960 Speaker 1: wing talking heads in all of America, So they have 1429 01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:07,719 Speaker 1: that distinction. I mean people who are just odious characters, 1430 01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:10,599 Speaker 1: as we have discussed before on the show, bad people, 1431 01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:14,519 Speaker 1: people that are unworthy of respect or real discourse, people 1432 01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:17,439 Speaker 1: that are deserving of and they are stupid audience by 1433 01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:23,040 Speaker 1: the way, as well deserving of approbrium. But jenk is 1434 01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:25,120 Speaker 1: you know he will, he will engage, you, will debate, 1435 01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:28,240 Speaker 1: So I at least will give him credit for standing 1436 01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:32,280 Speaker 1: up and being willing to exchange ideas of people on 1437 01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:38,360 Speaker 1: his socialism. He talked about Medicare for all, for example, 1438 01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:42,280 Speaker 1: and here is what the Progressive Democrat candidate for I 1439 01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:45,240 Speaker 1: don't know which district in California says about Medicare for 1440 01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:49,040 Speaker 1: all play fourteen. First of all, Medicare for all polls excellent. 1441 01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:51,799 Speaker 1: Second of all, when you guys say you'd lose your insurance, 1442 01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:55,839 Speaker 1: that is terribly wrong. You have insurance. Even Michael Bennett, 1443 01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:59,280 Speaker 1: who doesn't like purce, okay, but you have better insurance. 1444 01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:02,280 Speaker 1: Chris you mad, No, no, not maybe, definitely, I asked 1445 01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:04,639 Speaker 1: Michael BENNI Santo Michael Bennet, who does not like Medicare 1446 01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:06,960 Speaker 1: for All. He said, it's the Medicare for all would 1447 01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:09,960 Speaker 1: be the Cadillac plan. He said, yes, you get everything 1448 01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:13,519 Speaker 1: with Medicare for All, you get better insurance. There's no 1449 01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:22,880 Speaker 1: question about that. Jenk doesn't understand how markets or economies work. Apparently, 1450 01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:27,880 Speaker 1: what he's referring to here is the promise, the absurd 1451 01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:32,160 Speaker 1: promise by the way of Medicare for all. And I 1452 01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:34,040 Speaker 1: think this is the Bernie Santa's version. It might be 1453 01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:37,560 Speaker 1: the war in version. But you know, Potato Potato that 1454 01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:40,479 Speaker 1: says that everything, vision, dental, you know, everything would be 1455 01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:43,320 Speaker 1: under this medicare. It would, in fact be much more 1456 01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:46,519 Speaker 1: than Medicare. Now, keeping my medicare is the one thing 1457 01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:51,240 Speaker 1: that threatens to collapse our entire economy as our debt 1458 01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:54,840 Speaker 1: continues to spiral out of control. But we're told, let's 1459 01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:57,719 Speaker 1: make that a lot, a lot bigger, a lot bigger. 1460 01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:03,760 Speaker 1: Here's the problem with having everybody on the same plan. 1461 01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:07,560 Speaker 1: You want, I'll give you a perfect sample. Actually, I 1462 01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:10,519 Speaker 1: tried to make an appointment with a specialist in New 1463 01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:12,920 Speaker 1: York City earlier in the week. Right, God, I just 1464 01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:18,000 Speaker 1: tend to some some buck health issue and I was 1465 01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:22,240 Speaker 1: told the weight was two months. I have insurance, by 1466 01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:26,679 Speaker 1: the way, and this is a doctor that doesn't take insurance, 1467 01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:28,479 Speaker 1: but you can of course submit afterwards and all the 1468 01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:30,760 Speaker 1: rest of it. Two month wait, and that's a that's 1469 01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:33,160 Speaker 1: a doctor who's not even an insurance mark. Just wait 1470 01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:37,000 Speaker 1: until you're under your plan. Everybody else in the whole 1471 01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:39,559 Speaker 1: country is supposed to be effectively on the same plan. 1472 01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:40,920 Speaker 1: Do you think you're gonna be able to see the 1473 01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:43,320 Speaker 1: doctor you want to see now? Of course not. How 1474 01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:47,600 Speaker 1: do you determine who gets to see what doctor? And 1475 01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:50,080 Speaker 1: when everyone's paying the same, everyone's network is the same, 1476 01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:52,599 Speaker 1: every doctor is the same. This is, by the way, 1477 01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:54,960 Speaker 1: this is I mean, this is like full on socialist medicine. 1478 01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:59,880 Speaker 1: We're talking about here, determining everything other than the training 1479 01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,920 Speaker 1: of doctors and the provision of But that'll have to 1480 01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:05,400 Speaker 1: they'll have to add that into this because what happens 1481 01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:09,040 Speaker 1: is that there are no market signals to determine whether 1482 01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:13,520 Speaker 1: or not somebody can see a doctor in a certain timeframe. 1483 01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:20,240 Speaker 1: There are no market signals to make that designation, that determination. 1484 01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:24,519 Speaker 1: So what does the state does so sure that they'll 1485 01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:28,799 Speaker 1: pay for your doctor visit? Just like they will in Canada, 1486 01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:32,000 Speaker 1: just like they will in the UK, and you'll wait 1487 01:24:32,120 --> 01:24:35,760 Speaker 1: six to nine months for it, maybe a year. You know, 1488 01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:37,439 Speaker 1: it happens most of the time. People find out what 1489 01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:38,920 Speaker 1: the weight is and they go see a different doctor, 1490 01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:42,479 Speaker 1: a doctor they don't particularly want to see. The practitioner matters. 1491 01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:45,400 Speaker 1: You know, this is these are goods and services. People 1492 01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:49,080 Speaker 1: are making decisions and determinations. The entire system gets better 1493 01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:52,200 Speaker 1: when good doctors are rewarded, when good doctors can charge more. Also, 1494 01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:54,360 Speaker 1: smarter and better people in the future will want to 1495 01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:57,120 Speaker 1: go into medicine because they know they can be rewarded 1496 01:24:57,160 --> 01:24:59,680 Speaker 1: for this. The incentive structure in the medical system is 1497 01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:04,080 Speaker 1: wiped out in Medicare for All. Everyone's paid the same, 1498 01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:07,639 Speaker 1: everyone gets the same. Do you want Do you want 1499 01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:10,000 Speaker 1: that to be the case? No? I want to live 1500 01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:11,519 Speaker 1: in a country where I can choose the doctor that 1501 01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:14,360 Speaker 1: I see and see him in a reasonable or her 1502 01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:19,120 Speaker 1: in a reasonable timeframe. The only way that these systems 1503 01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:22,400 Speaker 1: that do even less than Medicare for All, the only 1504 01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:27,559 Speaker 1: way they provide care is through rationing and waits. They 1505 01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:30,720 Speaker 1: tell you how much you can get, they tell you 1506 01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:32,280 Speaker 1: when you can get it. By the way, what also 1507 01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:36,680 Speaker 1: will be included in this new people are if you 1508 01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:42,120 Speaker 1: want to go see a shrink, a psychologist, psychiatrist, do 1509 01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:45,880 Speaker 1: you get to go every day? Very very expensive? Who's 1510 01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:49,760 Speaker 1: going to pay for this? How much is determined? At 1511 01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:52,960 Speaker 1: some point the reality sets in where you can't just 1512 01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:55,200 Speaker 1: have people getting whatever they want, because if people get 1513 01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:57,040 Speaker 1: whatever they want, there won't be enough for people to 1514 01:25:57,120 --> 01:26:03,439 Speaker 1: get Without a mark in place to incentivize better, more efficient, 1515 01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:08,360 Speaker 1: faster care and to bring more people into the medical 1516 01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:11,360 Speaker 1: system so that there is more there are more goods 1517 01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:14,400 Speaker 1: and services to be distributed. This whole thing falls apart. 1518 01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:17,080 Speaker 1: It's going to be better than your current insurance plan. 1519 01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:24,720 Speaker 1: Good luck with that, the Cadillac of plan. This is 1520 01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:27,639 Speaker 1: the folks. This is snake oil that you are being sold. 1521 01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:32,360 Speaker 1: It is a lie. It is a fiction. Unless they're 1522 01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:35,880 Speaker 1: willing to say middle class taxes will go up dramatically, 1523 01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:38,599 Speaker 1: which they will have to just to make the math work, 1524 01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:41,840 Speaker 1: and unless they are willing to say that yes, you 1525 01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:44,320 Speaker 1: will see the doctor that the government says you are 1526 01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:47,280 Speaker 1: allowed to see in the time frame that government determines 1527 01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:51,240 Speaker 1: they are lying to you. They can point to any 1528 01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:56,000 Speaker 1: other major state operated medical system in the developed world 1529 01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:59,040 Speaker 1: and those are the realities that we are dealing with. 1530 01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:03,920 Speaker 1: That's it. So just yeah, medicare for all you. Someone's 1531 01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:07,480 Speaker 1: gonna pay for all your healthcare. This is state intrusion 1532 01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:12,360 Speaker 1: into one fifth, one sixth roughly of the economy in 1533 01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:14,240 Speaker 1: a way that will then lead to you, by the way, 1534 01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:18,400 Speaker 1: further socialized industries and sectors of our economy. This does 1535 01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:24,040 Speaker 1: not get better. This only gets worse. Oh, breaking news, 1536 01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:28,519 Speaker 1: breaking news. You know how in the last hour of 1537 01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,719 Speaker 1: the show, I said, you know, when is Kamala gonna 1538 01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:33,320 Speaker 1: call it quits? I think I said that dedn'ty her. 1539 01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:35,320 Speaker 1: I was at least making fun of her terrible campaign. 1540 01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:40,720 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is out. It's just happened. She's out, no 1541 01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:43,360 Speaker 1: longer running for president. I think Bloomberg showing up and 1542 01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:47,880 Speaker 1: being ahead of her right away in the polls, I 1543 01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:50,840 Speaker 1: think that was a little bit more than even her 1544 01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:54,600 Speaker 1: campaign could could manage to deal with. Now that I 1545 01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:58,360 Speaker 1: think she's pulling about I don't know, four or five 1546 01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:00,719 Speaker 1: percent in some of the polls I've scene. That sounds 1547 01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:03,680 Speaker 1: about right, So I wonder where those votes will go, 1548 01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:09,680 Speaker 1: probably to Biden, but maybe not. I do think the 1549 01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:13,800 Speaker 1: pressure is going to really mount for here's the way 1550 01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:18,400 Speaker 1: that they do it. Elizabeth Warren says that, you know, well, 1551 01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:22,240 Speaker 1: the realistic way would be for Bernie Sanders to offer 1552 01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:24,360 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren the VP slot and then create like a 1553 01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:28,280 Speaker 1: socialist dynasty going forward. But I don't know if I 1554 01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:32,680 Speaker 1: wisham With Warren's willing to accept that, so it is 1555 01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:36,560 Speaker 1: it is worth a well, well, we'll see how this 1556 01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:39,000 Speaker 1: how this plays out. Kamala Harris is out there everybody 1557 01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:45,959 Speaker 1: a campaign that the media wanted to work so badly, 1558 01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:50,640 Speaker 1: and there was always a media superficiality behind a lot 1559 01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:52,439 Speaker 1: of that. You know, they just thought that kamalas should 1560 01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:56,479 Speaker 1: be because they thought, yeah, Kamala should it should work 1561 01:28:56,560 --> 01:28:59,840 Speaker 1: for Kamala. And the reality is that she's not a 1562 01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:04,519 Speaker 1: particularly talented politician, not somebody who was ready for this, 1563 01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:07,880 Speaker 1: not somebody who was big league enough. And also I 1564 01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:11,560 Speaker 1: think Tulsi Gabberd was kind of the Kamala spoiler a 1565 01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:15,000 Speaker 1: little bit. I think Tulsie Gabbert got in there and 1566 01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:18,719 Speaker 1: made it really hard for Kamala to get any momentum. 1567 01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:22,400 Speaker 1: You know, even with the media all pushing behind or 1568 01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:27,439 Speaker 1: all the media efforts to do everything that they could do. 1569 01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:33,479 Speaker 1: It was not enough, it was insufficient. So Kamala Harris 1570 01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:37,360 Speaker 1: is out, as though, as though the Almighty heard from 1571 01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:40,800 Speaker 1: Buck's lips to God's ears that Kamala Harris was not 1572 01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:45,519 Speaker 1: gonna win the presidency. So today's the day that the 1573 01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:50,840 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris campaign calls it. Quins, don't cry too much, team. 1574 01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:54,519 Speaker 1: It's that time of year, my friends. People are now 1575 01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:59,440 Speaker 1: allowed to play their Christmas music because it's post Thanksgiving, 1576 01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:03,120 Speaker 1: and we know only Barbarians play Christmas music before Thanksgiving, 1577 01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:07,479 Speaker 1: but now they're allowed. So, you know, I was telling 1578 01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:09,439 Speaker 1: you I was in a taxi yesterday and the guy 1579 01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:13,519 Speaker 1: was blasting some Christmas music and I felt like such 1580 01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:16,240 Speaker 1: a grinch because I was like, really, I'm sitting in 1581 01:30:16,320 --> 01:30:19,519 Speaker 1: traffic with just this. You know, I don't know. I 1582 01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:23,000 Speaker 1: like Christmas music in limited doses, and I like it 1583 01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:25,800 Speaker 1: basically the week of Christmas. But then I'm not that. 1584 01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:28,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. What do you like? Do you like 1585 01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:32,080 Speaker 1: hanaka tuns? I think we discussed with Markers maybe two 1586 01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:35,040 Speaker 1: three three, that's right if you count Adam Sandler maybe, 1587 01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:37,840 Speaker 1: But so as a as a as a non Christian, 1588 01:30:37,920 --> 01:30:39,760 Speaker 1: what can you think of Christmas music? Just as a 1589 01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:43,280 Speaker 1: as a genre. It's a genre. There are some good 1590 01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:46,920 Speaker 1: ones that are just good musical songs, although my favorite 1591 01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:49,360 Speaker 1: is probably Alvin and Chipmunks. So I don't know what 1592 01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:51,960 Speaker 1: it says about me. There we go. So it's also 1593 01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:55,280 Speaker 1: the time of year you gotta think about getting people presents. Now. 1594 01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:57,559 Speaker 1: I don't know how many familiar with this, but there 1595 01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:01,320 Speaker 1: is a very fancy stationary bike company out there called 1596 01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:05,400 Speaker 1: Peloton or Pelton. I think it's actually just Peloton, but 1597 01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:07,519 Speaker 1: I'd like to do it the French wakes. It sounds fancier. 1598 01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:11,599 Speaker 1: Peloton released an ad just in time people to get 1599 01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:13,880 Speaker 1: I think these bikes are I know there are many 1600 01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:16,560 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars. I think they run somewhere in the 1601 01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:20,679 Speaker 1: like ten to fifteen thousand dollars range. Very expensive, okay, 1602 01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:24,280 Speaker 1: but you know when you could also just buy a 1603 01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:27,240 Speaker 1: bicycle or an old I don't know, or an old 1604 01:31:27,320 --> 01:31:30,400 Speaker 1: school stationary bike. I remember my grandfather have one at 1605 01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:32,280 Speaker 1: his house here in New York, and the thing was 1606 01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:35,120 Speaker 1: from the fifties, and you know, get on there and pedal, yeah, 1607 01:31:35,320 --> 01:31:39,439 Speaker 1: go and pedal your heart's content. But now Peloton is 1608 01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:42,400 Speaker 1: a very fancy bike and they put out this commercial 1609 01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:48,760 Speaker 1: that has gotten people totally outraged. I think I need 1610 01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:51,840 Speaker 1: to describe a little bit. So you're going to hear 1611 01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:54,479 Speaker 1: a female voice. And this female that is starting this 1612 01:31:54,600 --> 01:32:01,599 Speaker 1: commercial is esthetically perfect. She is beautiful, she is slender, 1613 01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:05,880 Speaker 1: she's clearly a model. And this is the commercial in 1614 01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:08,439 Speaker 1: this incredible house. But this woman looks like she's probably about, 1615 01:32:08,439 --> 01:32:10,360 Speaker 1: you know, twenty seven years old. I love all the 1616 01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:12,360 Speaker 1: ads where they got people in their twenties living in like, 1617 01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:14,719 Speaker 1: you know, million dollar homes, because you know who doesn't. 1618 01:32:14,920 --> 01:32:16,360 Speaker 1: People are to seeing where I live. When I was 1619 01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:18,439 Speaker 1: like twenty eight years old, I had like three roommates 1620 01:32:18,560 --> 01:32:20,799 Speaker 1: living in the basement of some place in the village. Anyway, 1621 01:32:21,120 --> 01:32:27,680 Speaker 1: play play Peloton, now Peloton. Give it up for a 1622 01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:31,080 Speaker 1: first time ride, first ride. I'm ulrvous, but I'm excited. 1623 01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:34,839 Speaker 1: Let's do this five days in a row. Be surprised. 1624 01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:40,439 Speaker 1: I am rising with the sun. I was totally worth 1625 01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:46,240 Speaker 1: it a year ago. I didn't realize how much this 1626 01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:51,600 Speaker 1: exchanged me. Thank you this holiday, give the gift of 1627 01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:57,439 Speaker 1: pel So there is this People have flipped out about 1628 01:32:57,479 --> 01:33:00,960 Speaker 1: this because you have this esthetically you know, physical, perfect, 1629 01:33:01,200 --> 01:33:04,720 Speaker 1: idealized woman who's like I'm so nervous to ride a 1630 01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:08,000 Speaker 1: stationary bike and the privacy of your own home. I mean, 1631 01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:10,160 Speaker 1: that's okay, I guess, but it seems to trust me, 1632 01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:13,760 Speaker 1: this woman is red. She's worked out plenty in her day. 1633 01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:16,680 Speaker 1: This is not her first her first time, and then 1634 01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:19,800 Speaker 1: I don't know how much it would change me. Now 1635 01:33:20,080 --> 01:33:23,360 Speaker 1: what changed? Right? People are being a brand and are talking. 1636 01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:26,360 Speaker 1: People are being a little sensitive about this. It is 1637 01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:29,960 Speaker 1: the case, and I have seen this in action once 1638 01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:32,639 Speaker 1: or twice in my life. It is the case where, 1639 01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:37,920 Speaker 1: especially as a male, if you give any kind of 1640 01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:42,719 Speaker 1: fitness related equipment as a Christmas gift to a female 1641 01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:46,840 Speaker 1: in your life, producer bread and this could backfire dramatically. 1642 01:33:46,960 --> 01:33:49,880 Speaker 1: You probably would be hit with that piece of equipment. Yeah, 1643 01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:52,479 Speaker 1: they do. They do not. It's not a thing that 1644 01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:57,680 Speaker 1: they get excited about. No, it's offensive unless she's offensive. 1645 01:33:58,360 --> 01:34:00,679 Speaker 1: I mean, if somebody said, buck, I want I'm gonna 1646 01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:03,200 Speaker 1: give you a for Christ's use, I'm gonna give you 1647 01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:05,400 Speaker 1: like a dozen sessions on a personal trainer, I'd say 1648 01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:08,960 Speaker 1: it's fantastic, I need it. I guess it's it's different 1649 01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:13,439 Speaker 1: if you know the person perhaps and maybe she's seen 1650 01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:15,960 Speaker 1: the other other commercial for Peloton, and she's, oh, I 1651 01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:17,920 Speaker 1: want this, I want this, and the husband gets it 1652 01:34:18,040 --> 01:34:22,360 Speaker 1: far right if she's been explicit backward okay, commercial, but 1653 01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:26,280 Speaker 1: it kind of reminds me of what at the wedding 1654 01:34:26,479 --> 01:34:29,559 Speaker 1: in the office with where Jim and Pam are having 1655 01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:32,519 Speaker 1: their like, you know, the rehearsal dinner. Yeah, and then 1656 01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:35,080 Speaker 1: the Jim's two brothers stand up and they yell out 1657 01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:37,799 Speaker 1: to their wives. You know, Pam's looking good, how about you, ladies? 1658 01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:43,719 Speaker 1: Tom for a little mo cardio, which is it would 1659 01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:47,000 Speaker 1: not go over well. I would not recommend anyone say 1660 01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:50,160 Speaker 1: that to their wife or anybody for that matter. That 1661 01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:53,080 Speaker 1: would not go over well. But this, this Peloton commercial 1662 01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:58,559 Speaker 1: got a lot of people, um really agitated, I would say, 1663 01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:00,840 Speaker 1: Edie after if you watch it, it makes even more 1664 01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:04,000 Speaker 1: sense because you're like this idealized existence. She's like, oh gosh, 1665 01:35:04,120 --> 01:35:07,280 Speaker 1: like my Peloton bike has changed me so much. She 1666 01:35:07,439 --> 01:35:10,599 Speaker 1: looks like she went from about one hundred and seven 1667 01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:14,959 Speaker 1: pounds to a hundred and seven pounds right in this commercial. 1668 01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:19,000 Speaker 1: And what was she filming for the arrogance bothered me too. 1669 01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:20,920 Speaker 1: As soon as she walks in the door, she's shooting 1670 01:35:20,960 --> 01:35:23,360 Speaker 1: a selfie of her talking about going in the bike. 1671 01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:25,000 Speaker 1: As soon as she wakes up, the cameras right in 1672 01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:28,120 Speaker 1: her face there there. I will tell you I live 1673 01:35:28,200 --> 01:35:30,040 Speaker 1: in a building here in New York where they have 1674 01:35:30,120 --> 01:35:33,519 Speaker 1: a gym in the building, and they are in fact, 1675 01:35:34,120 --> 01:35:38,400 Speaker 1: they do, in fact have a peloton in there. So 1676 01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:41,000 Speaker 1: I might have to try this now, just so I 1677 01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:44,880 Speaker 1: can give you from the front lines of Pelton. I 1678 01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:47,200 Speaker 1: can give you my assessment as to whether or not 1679 01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:49,559 Speaker 1: this is life changing. And I can use a lot 1680 01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:51,000 Speaker 1: of I mean, I should spend an hour of Dana 1681 01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:53,439 Speaker 1: Pelton bike. I gotta work out more. It's because there's 1682 01:35:53,439 --> 01:35:55,240 Speaker 1: a video that you can do it with other people 1683 01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:57,240 Speaker 1: around the world. Is that what makes it so expensive? 1684 01:35:57,439 --> 01:35:59,880 Speaker 1: You can watch? Yeah, I think so. Okay, the class 1685 01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:02,519 Speaker 1: they have like a video and they video it tracks 1686 01:36:02,600 --> 01:36:05,120 Speaker 1: you and it's all metrics, c and things like that. 1687 01:36:05,240 --> 01:36:07,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, that's just kind of a this is 1688 01:36:07,400 --> 01:36:09,960 Speaker 1: what the people say. But see, I take the position 1689 01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:13,439 Speaker 1: and this is and I know that people will say, oh, black, 1690 01:36:13,520 --> 01:36:15,519 Speaker 1: that's terrible. And by the way, anything that we advertise 1691 01:36:15,640 --> 01:36:17,760 Speaker 1: on this show as a gift you should definitely get 1692 01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:22,000 Speaker 1: because they're amazing. But in my family, among the adults. 1693 01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:24,880 Speaker 1: You know, I still I give gifts to people that 1694 01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:27,960 Speaker 1: you know, do work for me, do people that you 1695 01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:30,439 Speaker 1: know are in my life. That especially if people really, 1696 01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:33,000 Speaker 1: you know, in New York you're superintendent of the building, 1697 01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:34,840 Speaker 1: because everyone here, you know, lives in buildings where there 1698 01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:38,040 Speaker 1: tend to be a staff that takes care of the building. Um, 1699 01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:41,240 Speaker 1: you know, you give those people a gift for Christmas 1700 01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:44,320 Speaker 1: cash Usually I do all that, for sure, But among 1701 01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:46,560 Speaker 1: family members, I just think that there's especially because I 1702 01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:48,800 Speaker 1: come from one. I'm one of four kids and my 1703 01:36:48,880 --> 01:36:51,840 Speaker 1: two parents or six of us. It's just such a hassle. 1704 01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:54,760 Speaker 1: Ever got I gotta get at least five presents, and 1705 01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:57,880 Speaker 1: if I if I, you know, have a significant other, 1706 01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:03,080 Speaker 1: as has been the case in the past, if I 1707 01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:05,559 Speaker 1: have a significant other, I gotta get that person a gift, 1708 01:37:05,720 --> 01:37:08,240 Speaker 1: and that one has to be expensive. Of course. It's 1709 01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:10,479 Speaker 1: all such a hassle. Why can't we all just be 1710 01:37:10,600 --> 01:37:12,920 Speaker 1: together and celebrate the holiday for what it's really about. 1711 01:37:13,640 --> 01:37:17,240 Speaker 1: I agree, the birth of Jesus, not commercialism, thank you 1712 01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:19,800 Speaker 1: very much. So, you know, I just think that that's 1713 01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:21,760 Speaker 1: where we should be as a society. I call it 1714 01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:24,360 Speaker 1: going grinch. Do it with a smile. It's the way 1715 01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:28,240 Speaker 1: to go. And with that roll call, time rock and roll. 1716 01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:39,880 Speaker 1: Fellow patriots, we made ours go up to an eleven. 1717 01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:56,439 Speaker 1: It's time for roll call. It is time for roll call. 1718 01:37:56,840 --> 01:38:01,400 Speaker 1: Let's get into the Facebook posts here and we get 1719 01:38:01,439 --> 01:38:07,760 Speaker 1: to it. John Shieldsa, a real News fan. Pokahon has 1720 01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:12,400 Speaker 1: said a democracy should work by popular vote, and to 1721 01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:16,000 Speaker 1: call her old fashioned for thinking that way, maybe I'm 1722 01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:18,599 Speaker 1: a little rusty on my history, but I don't recall 1723 01:38:18,640 --> 01:38:20,920 Speaker 1: America ever being a democracy where elections were voted by 1724 01:38:21,240 --> 01:38:24,680 Speaker 1: We're decided by popular vote. Well, John, it's even more 1725 01:38:24,760 --> 01:38:26,920 Speaker 1: interesting than that in some ways, because if you go 1726 01:38:27,120 --> 01:38:30,599 Speaker 1: back to the origins of the concept of democracy, which 1727 01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:33,479 Speaker 1: we tend to find, as tend to think is ancient Greece. 1728 01:38:34,360 --> 01:38:39,920 Speaker 1: In ancient Greece, only a very small number of the 1729 01:38:40,040 --> 01:38:46,280 Speaker 1: actual people living in the polis, in the city, in 1730 01:38:46,360 --> 01:38:49,080 Speaker 1: the city state, we're able to vote. It's not like 1731 01:38:49,240 --> 01:38:53,640 Speaker 1: in ancient Athens they walked around and every adult was 1732 01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:56,719 Speaker 1: given the right to make a determination. It was actually 1733 01:38:56,760 --> 01:39:00,360 Speaker 1: a very very small group of citizens, citizens who were ablished, 1734 01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:05,720 Speaker 1: who were landholders, who had some degree of sway in affairs, 1735 01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:10,439 Speaker 1: and it was definitely not women and it was not slaves. 1736 01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:15,720 Speaker 1: There were slaves in ancient Greece, lots of them. And yeah, 1737 01:39:15,880 --> 01:39:18,360 Speaker 1: there there was a small percentage overall the population that 1738 01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:20,680 Speaker 1: would have been able to vote. So it's interesting that 1739 01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:25,600 Speaker 1: we now think of democracy as every person who is 1740 01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:27,840 Speaker 1: an adult gets to vote. But that's really a more 1741 01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:30,640 Speaker 1: modern innovation. It was not the case before. So you know, 1742 01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:34,959 Speaker 1: women suffrage did not become a thing until pretty recently. 1743 01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:41,680 Speaker 1: Brian Buck, I enjoy your analysis and your ability to articulate. 1744 01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:44,639 Speaker 1: I think you may be off on a couple of predictions, though. 1745 01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:49,120 Speaker 1: Oh first, I don't think they're going to vote to 1746 01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:50,960 Speaker 1: impeach for the simple fact that they don't want to 1747 01:39:51,080 --> 01:39:55,040 Speaker 1: risk Trump getting a fair trial if they did. I'd 1748 01:39:55,120 --> 01:39:57,920 Speaker 1: almost want Republicans to go along with it so this 1749 01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:00,559 Speaker 1: mess can be handled properly and watch democrat at scramble 1750 01:40:00,560 --> 01:40:02,479 Speaker 1: as all their dirty laundry goes on display. But with 1751 01:40:02,560 --> 01:40:06,080 Speaker 1: the ads your report coming out, it may not be necessary. Second, 1752 01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:09,880 Speaker 1: I do believe Trump will go scorch earth on Democrats 1753 01:40:09,960 --> 01:40:13,280 Speaker 1: after the report comes out. He has said repeatedly that 1754 01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:15,679 Speaker 1: this should never be allowed to happen to another president, 1755 01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:17,560 Speaker 1: and one way to ensure that it doesn't is to 1756 01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:21,840 Speaker 1: hold people accountable and an exact harsh consequences. Trump is 1757 01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:23,799 Speaker 1: a one to bluff. This would be a very interesting 1758 01:40:23,880 --> 01:40:26,920 Speaker 1: election year for shore Shields High. Well, Brian will get 1759 01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:30,439 Speaker 1: to see who's right on these predictions. I'll probably have 1760 01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:34,760 Speaker 1: to revisit them and we'll see who's correct. I'm telling 1761 01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:36,840 Speaker 1: you they're going to impeach him, but you're saying no, 1762 01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:43,599 Speaker 1: I'm saying yes. And then on to Trump going scorch 1763 01:40:43,640 --> 01:40:46,200 Speaker 1: shirt on Democrats after the report comes out. I don't 1764 01:40:46,240 --> 01:40:49,200 Speaker 1: see how that would happen. What's he gonna do. He's 1765 01:40:49,240 --> 01:40:53,000 Speaker 1: gonna fire civil service employees even after there's been an 1766 01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:56,200 Speaker 1: inspector General report that does not recommend their firing. I 1767 01:40:56,439 --> 01:40:59,920 Speaker 1: don't know, Brian, what that accountability would even look like 1768 01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:02,000 Speaker 1: if Trump wanted to do it. Now, that's it. I 1769 01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:07,160 Speaker 1: could be wrong. It has It has happened before, seldom, 1770 01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:10,880 Speaker 1: but it has happened. So that is a possibility that 1771 01:41:10,960 --> 01:41:13,599 Speaker 1: we should be aware of. Um, we'll have to take 1772 01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:16,519 Speaker 1: a look at it. We're looking at that, as Trump 1773 01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:18,760 Speaker 1: likes us say, we're looking at that. He says that 1774 01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:24,880 Speaker 1: about a lot of things. M Adam buck Pot roast 1775 01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:28,519 Speaker 1: if done correctly is amazing. Cook it low and slow, 1776 01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:33,920 Speaker 1: tenderness is key shields high.

If 1781 01:41:53,320 --> 01:41:56,440 Speaker 1: they'd stuck with their very first original premise for investigation, 1782 01:41:56,520 --> 01:41:59,840 Speaker 1: they probably could have nailed him. Avon Forgets. The earliest 1783 01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:04,160 Speaker 1: instigations of him were for ties to organize crime. I 1784 01:42:04,200 --> 01:42:08,479 Speaker 1: guess they thought Russian collusion tested. Better keep it up, 1785 01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:10,920 Speaker 1: She'll tie, all right, Paul, I mean I don't. I 1786 01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:12,759 Speaker 1: don't think that they're going to get Trump on anything, 1787 01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:19,519 Speaker 1: but I do appreciate the outside the box thinking, let's 1788 01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:22,200 Speaker 1: see where we got here I wanted I wanted to 1789 01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:24,240 Speaker 1: get into. I tend to go to the Facebook because 1790 01:42:24,240 --> 01:42:26,200 Speaker 1: it's it's easy, but I also want to look at 1791 01:42:26,280 --> 01:42:28,640 Speaker 1: what we got in the Team Buck. Team Buck at 1792 01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:34,880 Speaker 1: iHeartMedia dot com. That's the email address you want to 1793 01:42:34,880 --> 01:42:37,439 Speaker 1: send things to us?

We all should know. Try these out amongst 1796 01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:47,320 Speaker 1: your staff and see how they like it. Yawning is 1797 01:42:47,360 --> 01:42:53,639 Speaker 1: caused by a warm brain. Only one America. Wait what? Okay, 1798 01:42:53,720 --> 01:42:58,920 Speaker 1: thank you? Ken? Whatever? We got another Ken, a different Ken. 1799 01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:05,960 Speaker 1: Let's see Friday, the President declared the Cartels is terror groups. 1800 01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:08,280 Speaker 1: I suspect that Trump has ordered a kind of Cicario 1801 01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:13,240 Speaker 1: Cia action with your contacts. You should suss it out, Okay, Ken, Yeah, 1802 01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:16,800 Speaker 1: I'll take a look. I'll take a look. Let's see 1803 01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:24,640 Speaker 1: what we'd get here. Here you go, we get next up, 1804 01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:28,320 Speaker 1: somebody talking about how the audio is wrong. I don't 1805 01:43:28,400 --> 01:43:30,719 Speaker 1: understand what we're doing differently or wrong with the audio. 1806 01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:34,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. That's got to be 1807 01:43:34,400 --> 01:43:38,439 Speaker 1: somebody else's to look into that, Harry, right Buck. You 1808 01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:42,599 Speaker 1: might want to check out the third season, fifth episode 1809 01:43:42,640 --> 01:43:46,280 Speaker 1: of The Crown, entitled Coup. It concerns the attempt by 1810 01:43:46,320 --> 01:43:50,280 Speaker 1: Conservative persons to recruit Lord mount Batten to replace Harold 1811 01:43:50,320 --> 01:43:53,280 Speaker 1: Wilson's Socialist government after the massive devaluation of the pound 1812 01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:56,760 Speaker 1: and further deterioration in the British economy in nineteen sixty seven. 1813 01:43:56,800 --> 01:43:59,559 Speaker 1: I think that's the correct year. Yes, it is slow, 1814 01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:04,559 Speaker 1: but an interesting take on conservative socialist politics of the time. 1815 01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:09,240 Speaker 1: By the way, I think it's hilarious. No one gets 1816 01:44:09,280 --> 01:44:12,280 Speaker 1: that America is nearly as socialist under under FDR as 1817 01:44:12,320 --> 01:44:16,920 Speaker 1: the USSR during World War Two. Shields, Hi, Harry, Yeah, man, 1818 01:44:16,960 --> 01:44:19,440 Speaker 1: there's a lot more socialism out there than people realize. 1819 01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:26,599 Speaker 1: That is true.
