WEBVTT - Weird Uncle Joe vs Corn Pop 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:15.400 You are entering the freedom hunt. Trump and mccron have 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:19.119 a discussion while he's out there doing the NATO thing. Also, 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:22.480 the House GOP has a report out on impeachment. The 0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:25.920 Inspector General report means that people are running for cover 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.760 and trying to run interference on both sides. A peloton 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:32.920 ad that's gotten far more attention than it intended to, 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:36.720 and liberals don't like Melania's coat. That are more coming up. 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.920 This is the bus Sexton Show, where the mission or 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:45.120 mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.680 Mag no mistake American. Great, you're a great American Again, 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:58.280 the Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. No, 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.040 welcome to the Buck Sex and Show. Everybody. Sorry, I'm 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:03.680 my voice a little scratchy this morning. I don't really 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:07.039 know why, but thank you so much for me. That's 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:08.760 what it's what happens. You do a radio show enough, 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:13.240 your vocal cords take a beaten. Mine are much abused. 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.280 It's one of the reasons why I'm days off. I 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.120 try to talk less. I just look at people and 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.360 nodded my head. M that's great. We got a lot 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:27.200 to get you today. NATO, NATO North Atlantic Treaty organization 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.959 been around for quite some time trying to counter the Soviets. 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:36.520 You got Trump sitting down with Emmanuel Macron, who I 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:38.720 will say, does remind me. I mean, you could cast 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.520 him as this snooty French waiter in any movie or 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:45.360 TV show. I brought you this ketchup because you're American 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.520 and you put ketchip on everything. You know what I mean? 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.200 You could do that and it would it would work perfectly. Well, 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:56.480 you know, it doesn't really smile, doesn't really exude a 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.920 lot of warmth, but certainly exudes a lot of frenchness, 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.880 a lot of French coming from this guy. But they're 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.880 sitting there having a discussion about NATO. And here's what 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.440 the media wants you to believe. Let's start with that. 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:15.200 If you're just a casual observer of news channels and newspapers, 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.880 with of course the few exceptions that have not made 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:23.360 anti Trump is their business model. But if you happen 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.880 to take a look casually and just see what's going 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.799 on with NATO, you will read things and see things 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:34.880 about how Trump is terrible for NATO, He's been a 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:39.200 great threat. In fact, there was a CNN analysis this morning. 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:43.600 You can't make this stuff up. CNN analysis where he 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.680 said or where it was said, that Trump is the 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.040 biggest threat to NATO. And so there's some irony in 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:54.280 the fact that he is holding a meeting with different 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:59.880 NATO leaders, including an Emmanuel Macron of France. This is 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:06.360 is very stupid. This is aggressively stupid, as I was 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:08.840 fond of saying in the past, because first of all, 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:10.880 if anyone thinks that it's a greater threat than Putin, 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.480 I would really need them to explain that. I also 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:17.560 think that the threat that Putin poses to us as 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:22.120 a general matter is being exaggerated. I know that I've 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.760 been telling you for years now. The media, the Democrats 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:30.040 are completely willing to skip past the real concern that 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:34.400 China poses to US as a near peer competitor, a 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.160 country that at some point is going to try to 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.720 flex its muscles and say, sorry, America, you're not the 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:45.400 hegemon anymore. You don't get to make that call. Russia 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.880 is a fraction of the Chinese economy and a fraction 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.920 of the Chinese population. Let's be serious for a moment. 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.040 Anybody who tells you that Russia has a bigger threat 0:03:56.080 --> 0:04:00.440 than China doesn't know what they're talking about or is lying. Well, 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:04.320 let's get back to NATO for a moment, shall we 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:10.240 You have the discussion over ISIS fighters that got the 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:14.680 most attention this morning from the Macron Trump meeting. Please 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.279 produce a Brandon Plick Club twelve for me, the very 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.600 first subjective in the regions is to finish war against 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:26.719 ices and and don't don't make any mistake. Your number 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.640 one problem are not the firm fighters. This is the 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.920 II fighters in the regions, and you have more and 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.320 more in fighters due to the situation today. This is 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.400 why he's a great politician because that was one of 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.440 the greatest non answers I've ever preferred. And that's okay 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:47.320 because sometimes if you can have some fundation from the 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.919 DPUs side. I don't say about freas in Fern, but 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.960 could be the press to say this is the European responsibility. 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.119 I'm sorry to say that we have some of our people, 0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.279 but if you don't think at the reality of the 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:04.120 situations that no one not to be ambiguous with these brooks. 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.560 This is why we thought that to discuss about our 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.520 relations were still key. But I think any ambiguiki was 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:16.800 Stilkey these books he's victim on to to everybody for 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:21.600 the situation. France has actually taken back some fighters. So 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:23.560 we have a lot of fighters, We captured a lot 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.960 of people, and we have captured one hundred percent of 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.240 the caliphate that you know that that means that it's 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:33.840 still going and going. We set a small contingent in 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:37.240 and we wiped out another portion of ices. We don't 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.360 want to happen to me what happened with President Obama 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.120 where it reformed and then it became stronger than it 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:44.760 was in the first place. So we don't want that 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.920 to happen. So this is the primary exchange that everyone 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:52.560 was focusing on between these two or leaders today. One 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.680 thing you see here is that the French, and this 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:58.120 is true of really all of our European partners, with 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.640 the possible exception of the Bridge, who do punch pretty 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:05.200 close to if not at their weight, on these matters. 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:06.760 We can count on the Brits in a way that 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:10.000 we really can't count on other European states, count on 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:14.719 the Aussies kind of the Canadians, but the French not 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:19.320 so much. The European states mine is Britain tend to 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.560 want to have a much bigger say, but much less 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.480 responsibility in all of these matters. And that's why Trump 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:29.640 was poking Makran a bit here with the cameras rolling, 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.920 knowing that this would perhaps get under the French leader's 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:38.640 skin a little bit. America is somehow responsible for whatever 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.640 outcome happens now in Syria. This is what you've been 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.800 led to believe. Meanwhile, we are supposed to be one 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.520 of many countries to have partnered up to deal with 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:53.320 the mess that is Syria. And all these people who say, oh, 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.160 we should just stay there and stabilize, stabilize until what, 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.599 until there's a challenger regime even place to Assad, because 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.840 that's going to be a pretty picture that's going to 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:09.080 work out really well. Or just stay indefinitely until Assad decides, Hey, 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.440 I want that piece of the country back because I'm 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.200 the leader, even if you want to pretend I'm not. 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:18.640 That doesn't look like it ends well for us. The 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.520 people that think that we should just stay in Syria 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:24.720 haven't really thought this through very much. They now point 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.360 to continuing operations against ISIS as somehow proof that we 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.480 should just stay forever. And I look at this and say, no, 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.360 we should be trying to remove our troops so that 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.640 they don't stay forever. And if we're in the last 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.600 phases of isis mop up, then so be it. There's 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.600 also always risk attended to any of these moves and maneuvers. 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:46.040 But what do the French really bring to the table here? 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:51.760 What do they do that is helpful in this process? Well, 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.360 sure they're a part of this coalition, and I'm sure 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.520 they would point to different ways that they have tried 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.000 to contribute. But we all know that somehow once again, 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.200 and America is in the leadership role. Oh you mean 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:07.120 that even under President Trump, America is in a leadership role. 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:12.000 America is calling the shots, has the greatest degree of responsibility. Really, 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.080 I thought that Trump abdicated it. I thought Trump was 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.360 destroying NATO. Wait you mean Trump got over one hundred 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.560 billion dollars of additional funding from NATO members for their 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:26.360 own defense. Remember, we are trying to prevent Russian aggression. 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.360 We also asked the question, it should be asked much 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.080 more frequently, what else should NATO will be doing? You 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.640 know what, NATO's only mission in recent memory really has 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:39.439 been Afghanistan. What is NATO doing in Afghanistan. We got 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.320 a lot of allies. We got this fancy NATO thing. 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:45.240 I guess we better use it. How has Afghanistan worked 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.800 out with this multi country coalition meant to stabilize it? 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.640 How many of you listening right now either served yourselves 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.160 or have friends, family members, loved ones who have served 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:59.600 in Afghanistan to come back and say, that's not going 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.160 to be whatever the policymakers think it's going to be. 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:04.920 A being to bed. Almost all of them, probably all 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.960 of them. Anybody who served in a front line unit 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:12.360 there knows there's not going to be some stable democracy. 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:13.600 We're not gonna be able to point to this thing 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:18.040 and say, yes, another NATO success. But even to ask 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.880 these questions is treated as being Putin's puppet. This is 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:26.080 what they say, Oh, you're putting out Russian propaganda. Do 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.679 they realize or do they care? To the leftists who 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:33.280 hate Trump and the media acolytes of the Democratic Party 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:37.360 pretending to be nonpartisan, do they care that making Russia 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.839 into America's Enemy number one hurts us in a number 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.920 of ways. It hurts us with regard to fighting against 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:50.439 Islamic radicalism, where Russia is in fact an ally it 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.760 hurts us with trying to get the Russians to play 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:58.960 nicer and with more diplomacy on the European states on 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:03.760 their periphery. We have a lot in common with Russia 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.800 in certain areas. In others we don't. They view us 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.560 as oppositional. The Russian mentality is very much that they are. 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.319 They view themselves as surrounded. We view Russia as vast 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.839 eleven time zones. It's huge. They think of themselves though 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.959 its surrounded by hostile states. They have to look on 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.840 their periphery and see NATO to the west, see China 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:29.400 and Japan to the east and southeast, and then even 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:33.960 India pushing up from their south. From the underbelly, Russia 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:37.080 doesn't view itself as in some strategically sound position. Russia 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:41.360 views itself as a victim of geopolitical circumstances, and in 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.000 the post Soviet era even more so. Now I'm not 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:47.160 saying they're correct or that's right, that's helpful, but we 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.319 should at least understand what the mentality is and try 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.839 to work within that reality. Does anyone really want to 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.079 go to war with Russia? Better question, would anyone in 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.840 the Democrat press right now, which is really just the press. 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.320 They want to send their children to go fight on 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:07.679 the front lines of Estonia if there was a Russian 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.400 incident involving Maskarovka. I'm not talking about all the tanks 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.160 Roland and I'm saying some separatist movement where they all 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.240 happen to speak Russian and some of you know there are, 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.640 in fact many people in the Baltic States for whom 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.080 Russian is their first language, their whole communities. There would 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.120 not be that hard for this to happen. Are we 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.960 going to get involved in that fight? Now? You can say, yes, 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.640 you can take that position, but we should at least 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.760 people to have that discussion without the idiots in the media. 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:35.560 And I've realized now the media really is full of 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:39.840 people who have decided that it's not worthwhile to do 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.880 anything useful. It's much better for them to just try 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:44.760 to be in the cool kid club all the time, 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:46.760 to do whatever they have to do to impress the 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:50.320 corporate executives who can sign over paychecks that are far 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.160 bigger than what they would deserve if they weren't working 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:56.000 for legacy media outlets. They don't care how stupid they 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.679 look on these issues and how much. They push us 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.520 with their belligerence in the reporting, closer and closer to 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.959 an actual conflict with Russia, which would be horrific. By 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:08.640 the way, and I remember it's President Trump who blew 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:11.120 up a couple of hundred Russian paramilitaries in the Syrian 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.839 desert in order to protect our Kurdish allies, I might add, 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:19.599 and Russia let that one go. We don't want to 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.760 keep having close calls with the Russian state. To say 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:27.120 that we should aim for better relations with Russia is 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.559 so obvious that it shouldn't have to be said. But 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.920 in our current environment, you hear the narrative Trump is 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:37.160 destroying NATO, Trump is Putin's puppet. Anything that deviates from that. 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:40.800 Any facts you can present that don't go along with 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.040 that narrative makes you a bad person. You're an idiot. 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.040 You don't know anything. That's what the media will tell you. 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.000 But hold on a second. What bad thing has happened 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.400 to NATO? Well, name one bad thing that has happened 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.560 to NATO because of Trump since he became the president. 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:04.840 If you NATO bureaus. A few European institutionalist types decided 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:06.160 that it was he was a little gruff when he 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.240 was asking for more money. Okay, guess what states paid 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.199 up more money and they said they would That was 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.120 the agreement that we had. NATO is nothing other than 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.400 an agreement. In fact, so in some states can say yeah, 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.440 we'll do this and then they don't do it. Doesn't 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.560 that undermine the very core of what holds it all together. 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.080 But there's never any discussion about any of this, That's honest. 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.320 It's just everything is about bashing Trump. Nothing can be 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:35.439 separate from bashing Trump. These people. This is the totalitarian mindset. 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:36.959 And you go back, you see the way it was 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.600 in the Soviet Union. If you were in any way 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:43.400 opposing the Soviet state, you were a counter revolutionary and 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.280 therefore you were to be nullified, you were to be destroyed. 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.280 For the media right now, they have a Soviet mentality 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:54.560 about Trump, especially because we're in this reelection cycle. Now 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.439 you're either trying to destroy President Trump or you're evil. 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:02.480 You're part of the problem. Every issue, every news story, 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.120 doesn't matter what it is, even when we're talking about 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:10.240 things like conflict possibly between nuclear armed states. They're reckless 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:14.880 about this stuff. Putin's puppet, oh Russia, more sanctions on Russia, 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.840 more tough talk against Russia. Really, how far do we 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:21.480 really want to push that? Obama didn't push really much 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.120 at all. By the way, he got real tough with 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.440 Russia at the end of his presidency. We wouldn't have 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.640 to deal with it, didn't want to send those javelin missiles, 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:33.480 did the whole expulsion of Russian diplomats and added sanctions 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.960 after he was going to be out of office, and 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.120 wasn't his problem anymore. Really easy to be tough them 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.200 when you don't have to be the one that looks 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:46.160 into the eyes of parents who have lost their child 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:51.800 because of the stupidity of much older and allegedly wiser 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.560 elected officials who think they know what they're doing. But 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.360 really it's all about them in this whole process. It's 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.520 not about NATO. It's about defeating Trump. There people who 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.640 want power. The narrative of NATO that you are being 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:11.200 told every day has been completely misconstrued, distorted, and perverted 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.880 as a club yet again against the presidents of the 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.760 United States, and it is not based in reality. Just 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.080 remember that as you see all of this playing out, Well, 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.040 I haven't asked that to the president today. I have 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.960 over the period time. We have a tremendous amount of 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:32.320 captured fighters. ISIS fighters over Interia, and they're Roland, the 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.760 Latin Key, but many of from France, many of from Germany, 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:39.600 and many are from UK. They're mostly from Europe, and 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.240 some of the countries are agreeing. I have not spoken 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.720 to the president about that. Would you like some nice 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:50.240 ISIS fighters, I can give them. You can take everyone 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:55.520 you want. The very large number of fighters you have 0:15:55.600 --> 0:16:00.240 under Rome to fight us me from from your in 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:04.160 the region. This is true that you have foreign fighters 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.320 coming from Europe, but this is a tiny minoritia of 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:08.840 the whole problem we have in the region. And I 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:12.600 think number one priority because it's not yet finished. It's 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.960 a graduate of IIS and it's always corps. This is 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:20.880 our number one pio and it's not yet Dune. I'm 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.400 sorry to think that. Yes, you see that fighters in 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.800 this region, in Syria and now in Iraq and more 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.800 and more, and the whole the setidization of the region 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:34.600 makes the situation more difficult to fix, the situation against ISIS. 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:37.880 So who's going to be responsible for all those fighters 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.320 we have on the ground. You have all these people 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.280 that say that they know what to do in Syria, 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:45.640 they know what the end game is really Your thousands 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:49.560 and thousands of prisoners, what happens to them? They've all 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.640 been radicalized one way or another. Maybe some of them 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:55.280 now would claim that they've turned on the Islamic state 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.000 because it has crumbled. But anyone who would fight for 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:04.520 a jihadest army that engages in mass torture, enslavement, rape, 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.880 mutilation and murder, it's not somebody you're going to want 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:12.880 to let go anytime soon. Who takes all the Isis fighters. Well, 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.919 isn't it nice to have a president who looks at 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.240 some of the world leaders who are our allies, places 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.520 like France, and I do love France and the French people, 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.280 by the way, as much as I love will make 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:25.359 fun of zam Brandon. They're also it's a beautiful culture 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:29.919 with great food. That all said, sometimes a little bit 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.520 of tough love is necessary in diplomacy. Sometimes pushing our 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.600 allies a little bit to do things they don't necessarily 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.840 want to do means that we have to do less. 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:42.119 And therefore, oh, that's right. It's America first, isn't it. 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.359 Our interests should be pursued. That doesn't mean at the 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:50.320 exclusion of being helpful and keeping our word to our allies. 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.760 But it does mean that there's a whole other way 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.560 to approach these issues. You get more funding out of 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.320 NATO members. Maybe you also get some NATO members like 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.919 France to back anybody who's a French citizen who's an 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.520 ISIS fighter. How about that for a crazy idea. I 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:09.200 think it's very unpatriotic of the Democrats to put on 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:12.280 a performance where they do that. I do. I think 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.640 it's a bad thing for our country. Impeachment wasn't supposed 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:17.800 to be used that way. All you have to do 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:20.560 is read the transcripts. You see there was absolutely nothing 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.919 done wrong. They had legal scholars looking at the transcripts 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.119 the other day and they say these are absolutely perfect. 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.760 Trump is right when he uses those concepts. Those calls 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:34.280 that we've made, two of them were absolutely perfect calls. 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.199 And I think it's a very bad thing for our country. 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.440 Does it cast in cloud Well, if it does, then 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.200 the Democrats have done a very great disservice to the country, 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.920 which they have. The Democrats have done a disservice to 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.200 the country, but they're not stopping. They don't care about 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:51.800 the disservice they are doing, and so we have to 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:56.959 now sit through this Judiciary Committee nonsense on Wednesday, another 0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:03.040 kabuki theater attack Trump extravaganza. We have our friend Raheim 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:06.520 Kassam joining us now. He is the co host of 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.960 the podcast called War Rum, which is on impeachment and 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:13.680 related political matters. You can check that out on iTunes. Raheim, 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.520 Great to have you back, sir, Hey, thanks for having me. Buck. 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:18.840 All right, so let's before we get into your expectations. 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.119 And I know you're you're doing your show with Miller 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:23.639 and with Bannon, so you guys are neck deep in 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.560 this impeachment thing all the time. But before we get 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:29.280 to what your expectations are for Wednesday, how do you 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.680 assess what's happened so far? Is this? Have Democrats just 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:35.280 been stumbling left and right? Or do we not really 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:39.240 know what their strategy is? I don't think they quite 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:42.760 know what their strategy is. Buck, They went into this 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:47.440 whole process, they were effectively sold a bit of a 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:54.360 fantasy by this so called whistleblower. The fantasy didn't turn 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:58.040 out to be reality. We heard from the whistleblower very 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:00.600 early on in this process that they were things on 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:04.440 the phone call between President Trump and President Lensky, which 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:08.760 when the transcript was published, they weren't in there. Okay, 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:10.760 So the Democrats then had to pivot and they said, well, 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:12.800 we're going to bring all these witnesses in. We're gonna 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:15.000 bring people who were familiar with the president's thinking. We're 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.440 going to bring people who were familiar with the call, 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.960 who were on the call themselves. Let them elaborate on this. 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:23.280 And then they brought all of these witnesses in, first 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:27.240 in Adam Schiff's star chamber in the secretive basement Skiff 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:30.000 for the Capitol Building. Then Matt Gates goes in and says, 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.360 you can't do this privately. You have to do this publicly. 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:35.760 This is you're talking about attacking a democratically elected president. 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:37.760 Do it in public. So then they had to pivot 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:42.480 again start doing it in public and in public despite 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:45.280 all the remonstrations of CNN and The New York Times. 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:49.280 Actually none of the witnesses corroborated what the whistleblowers original 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:52.960 statement was, and none of the witnesses actually set out 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:57.399 anything that was illegal, that was unconstitutional, that was an 0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:00.640 abuse of the president's power, And so now the Democrats 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:03.879 are having to pivot again. This week, we're hearing that 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:09.359 Nancy Pelosi is quietly attempting to build a new impeachment 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:12.960 case around things other than Ukraine, going back to the 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:16.280 Muller report, going back to the Russia collusion hoax, and 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:20.080 of course Jerry Nadlow, who got ripped up by by 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:26.920 Cory Lewandowski in an earlier hearing earlier this year. You know, 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:31.280 you've seen how this Chairman of the Judiciary Committee crumbles 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.520 under pressure also, And I happen to believe therefore that 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:38.479 after Wednesday, the Democrats are again going to have to pivot, 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:42.000 and I think they may even be looking at removing 0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:46.520 withdrawing themselves from the impeachment staff and moving just onto 0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:50.399 a censure vote against President Trump and leaving it at that, 0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:53.240 because this is really harming them. It's harming them in 0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:56.440 their thirty one swing districts they have to win next year. 0:21:56.520 --> 0:22:01.480 It's harming their presidential candidates in their primary, and it's 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:05.080 really taking a toll on Nancy Pelosi and how the 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:08.720 base used Nancy Pelosi because she was seeming to be 0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:12.760 pulling the line or towing the line, or Rashida Talab 0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:16.120 but Alexander Cassio Cortez and the rest of the squad, 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:19.080 and it makes her look not a leader of her party, 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:22.080 but a follower of the far left elements that doesn't 0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:24.119 think they know what their strategy. Now. I know your 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:26.600 podcast is war room. Let's war game. If we can 0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:30.960 for a moment here this major decision that you got into. 0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:34.240 You alluded to briefly about the possibility of Democrats just 0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:38.240 doing a censure vote. Wouldn't that then be viewed? And 0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:41.040 by the way, I'm always I'm always somebody who says 0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:44.080 nobody can predict the future. I'm I would put my 0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:46.760 certainty that they will impeach at high but who knows. 0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:49.200 And as you're pointing out, this thing is not going 0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:52.480 there's no way that Nancy Pelosi thought that this would 0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:55.119 be where it is right now. And I think that 0:22:55.240 --> 0:22:58.640 that much is clear. If they do a censure vote, only, 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:03.439 isn't that then going into a reelection cycle essentially an 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:06.520 admission that this was all just political nonsense and that 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:08.080 they didn't have the goods on them though, you know, 0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:10.439 how do you view that component of it? I mean, 0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:13.680 at least if they go to the mat Raheem Pelosi 0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:17.680 can say we impeached, we did what we can. Yes, 0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:20.480 she could say that, but then remember the public will 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:24.000 be able to see and view and read everything that 0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:26.560 comes out in the Senate trial. There will be cross 0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:30.520 examination and cross cross examination. There will be representations at 0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:32.440 the very highest level on all of that. So she 0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:36.240 might even want to avoid that process if she goes 0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:40.879 for a censure and overseeing the impeachment process through. At 0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:44.119 least she can say, well, look, we got a lot 0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:48.000 of very serious information of very serious players. All these 0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:50.960 are elected bureaucrats who are great patriots and everything that 0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:53.399 she wants to say about them, and we had to 0:23:53.560 --> 0:23:56.200 We were obligated to take them at their word and 0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:58.560 have this process out. But it turned out that the 0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:01.440 evidence was not an impeachable offense, although it was an 0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:03.800 offense that the president should be censured over. And we 0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:09.400 take our constitutional you know, we take our constitutional obligations 0:24:09.560 --> 0:24:12.359 very seriously, and therefore that's why we're not pursuing this. 0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:15.240 But if you want a president who's not going to 0:24:15.280 --> 0:24:18.320 be censured for doing things on the international stage that 0:24:18.320 --> 0:24:19.800 they shouldn't be doing, then you vote for one of 0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:21.760 our guys next time. So at six of one and 0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:23.480 half a dozen of the other. As far as Nancy 0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:26.679 Pelosi's concerned, but she is probably more concerned about more 0:24:26.720 --> 0:24:29.639 than actually losing face over the impeachment process, is actually 0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:32.080 losing power over her own party. So she's trying to 0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:34.520 weigh and measure right now, is there the appetite for 0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:38.280 a full blown impeachment trial out there? Are these thirty 0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:40.719 one Democrats in the swing district's going to side with her? 0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:43.000 Or are they going to actually vote a different way? 0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:46.560 Are they going to distance themselves from party leadership, a 0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:49.639 House leadership over this or can she do something that 0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:52.920 pleases all sides which might be a censure vote? What 0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:55.440 would be the game changer from the Democrat side? Do 0:24:55.440 --> 0:24:58.080 you think that would be a realistic possibility on this 0:24:58.640 --> 0:25:01.280 Wednesday hearing men, I saw the list of some of 0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:04.200 the witnesses Raheem. It's as though they're trying to put 0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:09.160 the American people to sleep. It's a constitutional law professors. 0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:11.399 That doesn't seem to me like it's going to move 0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:13.920 the needle. What could move the needle from Pula? You know, 0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:16.440 what is Nadler going to try to do or is 0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:18.680 you just going to repeat everything we've already heard and 0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:22.040 hope that the repetition itself becomes the argument. Well, so, 0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:24.239 one of the things we're doing, or I'm doing as 0:25:24.320 --> 0:25:27.040 part of my role in the War Room podcast, is 0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:30.080 going through every single document, and yesterday you had the 0:25:31.040 --> 0:25:34.600 Republican Minority report releases one hundred and twenty three pages, 0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:37.040 and going through all of that, you can see why 0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:42.200 Republican Council Steve Caster wasn't playing up to the cameras 0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:44.800 in those public hearings over the last couple of weeks. 0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:48.720 He was actually producing an evidentiary case because guess what, 0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:51.840 when it goes to a Senate trial, there needs to 0:25:51.920 --> 0:25:55.480 be an evidentiary record of what happened with Ukraine. There 0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:57.639 needs to be an evidentiary record of what happened with 0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:01.000 all these phone calls and text messages and WhatsApp, etc. Etc. 0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:04.159 It's one thing, which is what the Democrat Council was 0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:07.200 doing to try and pump up headlines and get CNN 0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:10.320 to run funky Chiron's about you know what this witness 0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:14.080 says is an impeachable offense or what this witness implies 0:26:14.200 --> 0:26:18.840 happened between ambassadors on London David Holmes on a terrace 0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:21.160 at a restaurant in Ukraine after a bottle of wine. 0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:23.639 You know, that's one thing, But the other thing is 0:26:23.720 --> 0:26:26.240 producing the evidentiary record. So now what they're doing in 0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:29.240 the Judiciary Committee is they are trying to backpeddle it 0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:32.960 away from the media. Gramming headlines, putting up constitutional law 0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:37.000 professors lends more towards producing an evidentiary record, or at 0:26:37.040 --> 0:26:39.560 least producing evidence to show that the press that has 0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:43.040 somehow overstepped his constitutional role. That's why they're getting all 0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:46.080 boring with this. They know they're losing the fight as 0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:50.680 it pertains to the granularity and the detail of this 0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:54.080 impeachment process. I think the big game changer is going 0:26:54.160 --> 0:26:58.720 to be this. Look, if the Republicans manage to show 0:26:58.880 --> 0:27:02.160 and to have any doubt cast from any of these 0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:06.720 witnesses that say, look, maybe you disagree with the president's 0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:09.960 foreign policy and the way he went about the foreign policy, 0:27:10.200 --> 0:27:12.639 but do you see any evidence of wrongdoing, then that 0:27:12.720 --> 0:27:15.920 will be a second hit. But they did it the 0:27:16.040 --> 0:27:18.119 last time with all these other witnesses. Remember, none of 0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:19.880 them were able to say, at the end of the day, 0:27:20.040 --> 0:27:22.160 this was a directly appeachable offense. They just said, Oh, 0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:24.480 I didn't quite like it. It didn't really fit with 0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:27.240 my worldview. If they managed to get this out of 0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:30.719 the next set of witnesses, that's two strikes. Nancy Pelosi 0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:34.480 will then have a third attempt at bat to do 0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:37.080 something different. It might be a censure vote, it might 0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:40.080 be pursuing a full trial, but then you know she's out. 0:27:40.960 --> 0:27:43.920 Ran Casam everybody. He is a co host of the 0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:47.000 war Room podcast with Jason Miller and Steve Van and 0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:49.399 they are diving deep into this every day. Right here 0:27:49.440 --> 0:27:51.760 before we let you go real quick, I just wondering Brexit. 0:27:51.880 --> 0:27:54.080 What's going on because it's been getting some headlines here 0:27:54.160 --> 0:27:56.080 and there, and then it kind of faded because the 0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:57.840 media is so obsessed with anti Trump is and where 0:27:57.840 --> 0:28:01.000 does it stand right now? Yeah, probably faded because we 0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:03.280 have a general election in the UK now coming up 0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:06.320 on December the twelfth. This is an election that's been 0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:08.720 called because there is a deadlock in Parliament. They can't 0:28:08.760 --> 0:28:11.800 get things going either way, and so it looks like 0:28:11.880 --> 0:28:14.880 Boris Johnson is going to be elected with a big 0:28:15.000 --> 0:28:19.199 parliamentary majority, an eighty class seat parliamentary majority, and therefore, 0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:21.480 by January the thirty first, he will be able to 0:28:21.760 --> 0:28:24.560 take Britain out of the European Union, not perhaps in 0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:27.520 the greatest way that some of us hardline Brixiteers like 0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:30.280 myself and Nigel Barrage would have liked, but it still 0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:33.080 will be a leave by January the thirty first, and 0:28:33.119 --> 0:28:37.919 I'm optimistic about that. Less optimistic about pro amnesty liberal 0:28:38.040 --> 0:28:40.200 Boris Johnson being Prime Minister for the next five years, 0:28:40.320 --> 0:28:42.320 but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Well, 0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:44.200 it looks like Brexit might actually be happening. Isn't that 0:28:44.240 --> 0:28:47.000 kind of amazing because the elite media seems to have 0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:49.760 thought that they'd be able to just change this by 0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:53.400 telling us that it's so bad. Nothing more powerful than 0:28:53.440 --> 0:28:56.560 the will of the people, rightim Cassam, Everybody War Room 0:28:56.680 --> 0:28:59.040 is the podcast. It's on iTunes. Check it out. Rheim, 0:28:59.080 --> 0:29:01.600 thanks so much, my friend, Thank you. We rolled back 0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:05.680 the Obama administrations cuddling up to Cuba by applying heavy 0:29:05.720 --> 0:29:09.920 new sanctions. We've recognized that engagement has not improved Cuba's 0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:12.000 regime and hasn't made it better. The human rights record 0:29:12.160 --> 0:29:14.680 was worse. The risk to the Cuban people was worse 0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:16.640 than the risk of the United States was worse and 0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:20.280 their capacity to influence Venezuela even greater. So we've changed that. 0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:24.400 We've allowed Americans to seek justice by suing the regime 0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:27.640 in Havana to recover property that it stole a long 0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:30.280 time ago. It only makes sense when Americans had their 0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:32.600 stuff stolen, to give them a chance to get it back. 0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:36.720 And we've applauded countries that have expelled Cubans who have 0:29:36.840 --> 0:29:40.160 come to live as doctors inside of their borders, who 0:29:40.200 --> 0:29:43.560 were really working on behalf of the government. These doctors. 0:29:43.640 --> 0:29:46.440 This is a program that's hard to fathom. Sometimes they 0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:51.800 send doctors to countries all around the world. They traffic 0:29:52.480 --> 0:29:56.280 to generate income for the Cuban leadership. So the doctors 0:29:56.360 --> 0:29:59.400 received ten or twenty percent of the revenue that they generate, 0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:04.520 and the rist to fund the Cuban regime, posing up 0:30:04.560 --> 0:30:07.920 to dictators. Right, That's what you always hear about Trump 0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:12.400 from the mainstream media. And yet when you look back 0:30:12.480 --> 0:30:15.920 at the record of the president that was elevated by 0:30:15.920 --> 0:30:19.200 the media as some kind of god king Barack Obama, 0:30:21.040 --> 0:30:24.600 turns out that he had quite a fondness in action 0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:30.360 as a matter of policy, for dictators and regimes that 0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:35.280 do not deserve anything in terms of concessions from America. 0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:36.920 You see, this is where they always blur the lines. 0:30:37.200 --> 0:30:39.000 You look at what's going on with North Korea. President 0:30:39.040 --> 0:30:42.600 Trump has tried to so far unsuccessfully and let's be honest, 0:30:42.880 --> 0:30:49.000 but has tried to create the basic interpersonal framework for 0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:52.760 some kind of a grand bargain with North Korea. Have 0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:55.040 any of the sanctions been lifted in North Korea? No, 0:30:55.520 --> 0:30:57.560 In fact, the sanctions are stronger than they've ever been. 0:30:58.040 --> 0:31:02.080 Has there been any concession made to North Korea? As 0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:05.239 a matter of policy? Do we not still board their 0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:07.200 ships on the high seas and make sure that they're 0:31:07.280 --> 0:31:11.440 not engaged in illegal trade, particularly contraband black market trade 0:31:11.520 --> 0:31:15.239 for missiles and other aspects of the arms trade. Make 0:31:15.240 --> 0:31:19.040 sure they're not selling anything in violation of the crippling 0:31:19.120 --> 0:31:21.480 sanctions on the country. Don't we still do all of that? 0:31:22.960 --> 0:31:26.600 All Trump has done has said or spoken about Kim 0:31:26.680 --> 0:31:30.160 John Gunn said some weird things, no question, but spoken 0:31:30.200 --> 0:31:35.040 about him and spoken to him. With Iran, the Obama 0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:38.440 administration came along and said, hey, so you don't have 0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:41.320 to do anything that's really difficult for you, and we're 0:31:41.360 --> 0:31:43.280 going to give you. We're actually going to deliver to 0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:46.600 you huge palettes of US cash which you can then 0:31:46.680 --> 0:31:49.360 fund your terror regime with. And we're going to make 0:31:49.360 --> 0:31:52.680 sure that neither the Israelis nor anybody else would be 0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:56.760 able to make a strike on your nuclear facilities because 0:31:56.800 --> 0:31:59.360 you'll be under the ages. You'll be under the protection 0:31:59.640 --> 0:32:03.760 of this international deal that the Obama administration with European 0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:07.400 countries that have a long legacy of failure in the 0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:12.640 Middle East, thought was a good idea. That's giving stuff 0:32:13.240 --> 0:32:16.480 for nothing in return. We got nothing in return from Iran. 0:32:17.080 --> 0:32:19.000 They have centerfuges that they could turn on, they could 0:32:19.000 --> 0:32:21.160 turn them off. That doesn't that's not enough, that's not 0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:28.280 a concession. With Cuba, you're the same situation. The Obama 0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:32.120 administration has decided we've been mean enough to Cuba for 0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:35.880 long enough. There's really no reason for us to take 0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:39.120 the approach that we have to do anything about Cuba anymore, 0:32:39.200 --> 0:32:41.880 or we should do a lot less. Let's be buddy 0:32:41.960 --> 0:32:47.760 buddy with Cuba, with Castro's dictatorship, which continues, by the way, 0:32:47.800 --> 0:32:51.480 to be an enormous thorn in our side. Not just 0:32:52.320 --> 0:32:56.000 and when it comes to Cuban specific policy, but also 0:32:56.120 --> 0:33:00.240 with countries like Venezuela, wherever the worst elements, the worst 0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:05.080 political elements are operating, you know, the Marxist, communist, socialist 0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:08.680 revolutionary types in the Western Hemisphere and here in North 0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:12.239 and South America or anywhere for that matter, you can 0:33:12.320 --> 0:33:16.600 often find the hand of the Cuban regime. They are 0:33:16.920 --> 0:33:20.920 running a totalitarian prison camp on that island, and they 0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:23.240 love to export that anywhere else they can, and they 0:33:23.280 --> 0:33:28.200 also like to leverage relationships with other brutal dictatorial types 0:33:28.240 --> 0:33:31.240 in order to stay in power themselves, Venezuela being a 0:33:31.400 --> 0:33:36.800 very good example of that. Despite the Jack Ryan movie 0:33:36.880 --> 0:33:42.440 where their hero at Venezuela is the female social justice warrior, 0:33:42.800 --> 0:33:46.360 yeah that's really the and the bad guys are those 0:33:46.480 --> 0:33:52.560 right wing military types. Yeah they're the scary tale. Or 0:33:52.680 --> 0:33:55.680 maybe the bad guy's social justice warrior Namaduro, who has 0:33:55.720 --> 0:34:02.640 destroyed that country, been responsible for unimaginable deprivation and misery 0:34:02.720 --> 0:34:07.760 and despair. But Cuba is a bad regime. Didn't get 0:34:07.760 --> 0:34:12.320 any better despite the concessions the extended hand from the 0:34:12.360 --> 0:34:16.759 Obama administration, because ultimately there's just an ideological affinity for 0:34:16.840 --> 0:34:19.760 Cuba that comes from a left in this country. In America, 0:34:19.840 --> 0:34:21.440 we have a lot of people who are Democrats, but 0:34:21.520 --> 0:34:25.560 they're really socialists, and they see socialists trying so hard 0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:29.280 to bring about that utopian society on the island of Cuba, 0:34:29.719 --> 0:34:32.520 and yeah, they can admit that it hasn't gone according 0:34:32.560 --> 0:34:37.600 to plan, but they still harbor this fondness for them. 0:34:38.560 --> 0:34:42.200 Socialists tend to like other socialists. Is the really straightforward 0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:45.200 way to look at this, and that's what we're dealing with, 0:34:45.520 --> 0:34:48.080 what we were dealing with with the Obama administration in Cuba. 0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:51.279 Secretary of State Pompeo seems to be setting it right now. 0:34:51.800 --> 0:34:54.439 You won't see much of the media covering this, though, 0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:58.879 will you, because it would be yet another Obama administration 0:34:58.960 --> 0:35:01.200 foreign policy failure that has to be set right by 0:35:02.160 --> 0:35:05.479 the Trump administration. I understand it can be a little 0:35:05.480 --> 0:35:08.279 bit awkward when you have to think about life insurance. 0:35:08.520 --> 0:35:11.000 You don't want to have to consider what would be unthinkable, 0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:14.000 but you have to prepare for an uncertain future and 0:35:14.120 --> 0:35:16.759 make sure that your family is safe and secure. I've 0:35:16.800 --> 0:35:19.520 gone through this process myself. It's something you need to 0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:21.839 do and you should go to the place that makes 0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:25.600 it easy for you. No hassle.

We are on the final 0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:11.040 countdown for the Inspector General report from the FBI d 0:36:11.400 --> 0:36:18.160 OJ on possible FIZA abuse fies of the Foreign Intelligence 0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:23.520 Surveillance Act meant to catch spies and terrorists and somehow 0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:30.320 deployed against Carter Page, who you could say is among 0:36:30.440 --> 0:36:34.560 the most unlikely assets of a foreign government you could 0:36:34.600 --> 0:36:40.080 find anywhere. Carter Page, who was a cooperative witness and 0:36:40.640 --> 0:36:44.640 just an all around helpful guy to the FBI to 0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:48.480 nail some other Russians before. So, if you were already 0:36:48.520 --> 0:36:51.960 on the FBI's radar and you've had to help them 0:36:52.400 --> 0:36:56.600 in another case involving possible intelligence activities of a foreign 0:36:56.800 --> 0:37:00.120 government against the United States, you're going to try to 0:37:00.920 --> 0:37:04.960 get the Russians to meddle in a presidential election, get 0:37:05.040 --> 0:37:10.360 to coordinate with a presidential campaign. This is something that 0:37:10.600 --> 0:37:16.480 only delusional or stupid people could believe. And yet, guess what, 0:37:17.680 --> 0:37:22.640 when that Inspector General report comes out next week, there 0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:26.160 will be a whole lot of people who are claiming 0:37:26.239 --> 0:37:31.719 that it exonerates the FBI, that it means nothing was 0:37:31.880 --> 0:37:38.200 done wrong, even though carter Page had a FISA collection 0:37:38.680 --> 0:37:42.200 done on him, which to any normal, any sane person, 0:37:42.440 --> 0:37:48.640 is obviously absurd. I will still never forget when carter 0:37:48.760 --> 0:37:51.719 Page sat next to me, and which is before I 0:37:51.800 --> 0:37:53.880 interviewed him the first time, and he told me that 0:37:54.040 --> 0:37:56.319 he met my dad at an event in New York 0:37:56.360 --> 0:37:59.160 City of all things, and my dad was like, who 0:38:00.480 --> 0:38:02.759 but carter Page. It turned out he actually did meet 0:38:02.840 --> 0:38:06.600 him briefly. They shook heads or something, but it was 0:38:06.880 --> 0:38:09.959 quite a quite an interesting broment. What a small world 0:38:10.040 --> 0:38:13.080 we live in. Carter Page is not a Russian spy. 0:38:13.200 --> 0:38:16.759 In fact, there was never even an allegation of any 0:38:16.840 --> 0:38:21.279 criminal They couldn't even concoct a theory of criminal wrongdoing 0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:24.879 against Carter Page. And yet a US citizen had all 0:38:24.880 --> 0:38:28.399 of his communications, cell phone records, emails, text messages, all 0:38:28.480 --> 0:38:34.719 of that just grabbed by the federal government because a 0:38:34.800 --> 0:38:39.600 few FBI agents were hysterical around this conspiracy theory that 0:38:39.920 --> 0:38:42.960 was really coming from the Hillary Clinton campaign. That's let 0:38:43.000 --> 0:38:44.560 me skip to the end of the story for all 0:38:44.600 --> 0:38:46.600 of you. What we will find out and I think 0:38:46.600 --> 0:38:48.640 we'll find out from the Durham report. I'm not sure 0:38:48.640 --> 0:38:50.920 if it'll be before after the twenty twenty election though. 0:38:51.400 --> 0:38:56.000 Remember this is Inspector General Horowitz at the DJFBI. What 0:38:56.120 --> 0:38:59.800 we will find out from the attorney US Attorney Durham, 0:39:00.560 --> 0:39:04.360 who is a lawyer's lawyer or prosecutor's prosecutor according to 0:39:04.520 --> 0:39:07.000 both sides of the aisle up to this point, well 0:39:07.120 --> 0:39:09.800 you'll find out from eventually is that the Hillary Clinton 0:39:09.840 --> 0:39:13.000 campaign got this whole thing start. That there's whole Russia, Russia, Russia. 0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:18.240 It really had its origins in the Hillary Clinton campaign. 0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:22.160 That this was a Hillary info up against Trump, and 0:39:22.360 --> 0:39:27.040 that because people are such wild eyed left wing partisans, 0:39:27.320 --> 0:39:32.800 because Democrats have become such petty totalitarians, they seized on 0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:35.759 this and then abused their power in whatever ways they could, 0:39:36.040 --> 0:39:38.799 either in the press or in the government, to run 0:39:38.880 --> 0:39:42.640 with this theory, to pursue this theory, to really almost 0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:47.840 overturn the results of an election based on this theory, 0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:51.239 and it came from the Clinton camp very early on. 0:39:51.480 --> 0:39:54.799 That is my prediction to you as to where all 0:39:54.840 --> 0:39:57.680 of us is heading, although it'll be some time before 0:39:57.800 --> 0:40:01.120 we get there. What are we going to find out 0:40:01.160 --> 0:40:05.080 about the Inspector General report, Well, let's just remember a 0:40:05.160 --> 0:40:10.879 few things before we before we do our pregame analysis 0:40:11.040 --> 0:40:14.840 here of everything, let's remember that the Inspector General in 0:40:14.880 --> 0:40:20.719 this case, Horowitz, was an Obama appointee who oversaw a 0:40:20.840 --> 0:40:24.560 five hundred plus page report on Hillary Clinton's emails that 0:40:24.920 --> 0:40:32.399 was absolutely full of political bias, and Horowitz concluded, as 0:40:32.440 --> 0:40:37.080 if by magic, that all of that bias in no 0:40:37.320 --> 0:40:42.160 way affected the decisions that the Department of Justice made 0:40:42.360 --> 0:40:46.759 about Hillary Clinton's emails. I am here to tell you, 0:40:46.960 --> 0:40:49.880 and you won't want to hear this. Probably I'm here 0:40:49.920 --> 0:40:54.200 to tell you that you should get ready for round 0:40:54.280 --> 0:40:58.120 two of this. What you will likely see in this 0:40:58.239 --> 0:41:03.160 Inspector General report is a whole lot of dubious decision making. 0:41:03.320 --> 0:41:07.640 Just like with the press, right, the press gets stories wrong, 0:41:08.160 --> 0:41:13.319 but the stories they get wrong are overwhelmingly are overwhelmingly 0:41:13.920 --> 0:41:16.960 I would even argue entirely when it pertains to Trump 0:41:17.239 --> 0:41:21.120 anti Trump. It's always anti Trump stories. You will see 0:41:21.719 --> 0:41:24.920 that the mistakes that the decision making at the FBI, 0:41:25.120 --> 0:41:27.719 and you know fbis within DJ but I'll use these 0:41:28.000 --> 0:41:30.560 go back and forth over these that the decisions made 0:41:31.400 --> 0:41:36.480 in the Department of Justice about this FISA warrant and 0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:42.200 this baseline theory that the Trump campaign was somehow colluding 0:41:42.239 --> 0:41:46.040 with Russia, the decisions made through all of that. The 0:41:46.160 --> 0:41:49.400 truth is, my friends, that they were all somehow negative. 0:41:49.440 --> 0:41:52.239 The bad decisions were negative for Trump. Doesn't mean it 0:41:52.320 --> 0:41:56.440 was illegal. But you know, the tie goes to the runner, Well, 0:41:56.480 --> 0:41:59.319 the tie goes to the anti Trump deep state here 0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:01.799 every time, that's what's going to happen. So you'll see 0:42:01.880 --> 0:42:05.080 this pattern of yeah, we gotta get this fizy, Yeah, 0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:06.640 we gotta, we gotta do whatever we gotta do. We 0:42:06.680 --> 0:42:10.720 gotta stack it with the dossier. No one verifies anything, Doscia. 0:42:10.719 --> 0:42:12.239 It turns out the dossier is all crap and it's 0:42:12.239 --> 0:42:15.799 a Hillary Clinton opposition document. You're gonna include that. Oh, 0:42:16.000 --> 0:42:19.000 but you know, the excuse there is that the FBI 0:42:19.120 --> 0:42:24.400 agents involved were lazy and stupid enough to believe the dossier. Okay, 0:42:24.600 --> 0:42:28.319 they're not bad people, they're just dumb and lazy. That's 0:42:28.360 --> 0:42:31.759 going to be the excuse implicit in what comes out 0:42:31.800 --> 0:42:35.320 on this report. That's what they're going to fall back on. 0:42:36.000 --> 0:42:40.680 The bureaucracy, you see, is not tainted. It's just inept. 0:42:41.640 --> 0:42:44.360 It's just not very good at what it's supposed to do. 0:42:44.680 --> 0:42:48.759 But that they can live with. You know, that's cost 0:42:48.840 --> 0:42:56.800 of doing business. Isn't that interesting? There is one wild 0:42:56.920 --> 0:43:01.160 card in this scenario, though, you see. They know that 0:43:01.239 --> 0:43:04.040 they can count on Horowitz to be an institutionalist, to 0:43:04.080 --> 0:43:08.640 be somebody who wants to defend the edifice of the 0:43:08.719 --> 0:43:12.560 Department of Justice. It's so easy to convince yourself if 0:43:12.640 --> 0:43:15.359 you work in these government agencies. I work for the CIA, man, 0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:18.719 I know, it's so easy to say, well, even if 0:43:18.800 --> 0:43:21.319 we colored a little bit outside the lines here, even 0:43:21.440 --> 0:43:24.440 if this looks a little shady and shakes the faith 0:43:24.520 --> 0:43:28.600 of the American people that these bureaucrats who are empowered 0:43:28.719 --> 0:43:32.919 for very specific ends do in fact abuse those ends 0:43:33.040 --> 0:43:39.160 for partisan reasons. We still really need these places. We 0:43:39.360 --> 0:43:43.280 really need the Department of Justice, we need the FBI, 0:43:43.480 --> 0:43:47.400 we need all these different seventeen members of the intelligence community. 0:43:48.320 --> 0:43:51.759 And because we need them, if we have to give 0:43:51.800 --> 0:43:55.920 them more than the benefit of the doubt, if we 0:43:56.080 --> 0:43:59.640 have to look the other way, yet, what are reasonable 0:44:00.160 --> 0:44:06.759 rational person would understand as malfeasance, Well then that's just 0:44:06.880 --> 0:44:10.480 the price of protecting these institutions. I noticed this is 0:44:10.520 --> 0:44:14.839 different than even somebody inside the bureaucracy who is left wing, 0:44:15.760 --> 0:44:20.319 who is ideologically willing to you know, the Lauretta Lynch approach. Yeah, 0:44:20.320 --> 0:44:22.560 I'm gonna meet with Bill Clinton on the tarmac, pretend 0:44:22.640 --> 0:44:27.000 it was a non secuit or conversation. Who cares all 0:44:27.080 --> 0:44:30.439 an accident. You know, I don't know what was said there, 0:44:30.560 --> 0:44:35.440 but she didn't want anyone else to know either. There 0:44:35.480 --> 0:44:41.640 are ideologues inside the bureaucracy, people that clearly take the 0:44:41.719 --> 0:44:44.840 power that they have to try to help Team Democrat, 0:44:44.960 --> 0:44:48.760 help the left, help the socialists inside this country. Because 0:44:48.840 --> 0:44:52.360 they are the party of the state. But then you 0:44:52.440 --> 0:44:56.160 just have people who are not necessarily and I don't 0:44:56.200 --> 0:44:58.200 know enough about Horowitz to make the determination as to 0:44:58.320 --> 0:45:01.520 which one of these camps he falls into, although he'll 0:45:01.520 --> 0:45:03.960 be in one of them. And we know this because 0:45:03.960 --> 0:45:08.920 of the Hillary email report was a giant a monument 0:45:09.239 --> 0:45:15.600 to political bias. Political bias everywhere, that's clear. But did 0:45:15.680 --> 0:45:19.360 that bias affect the decision making? This would be like 0:45:19.560 --> 0:45:24.160 somebody saying to you, Hey, you know this federal judge 0:45:24.280 --> 0:45:27.680 is presiding over this case. He's on tape the week 0:45:27.760 --> 0:45:32.120 before he started presiding over the trial saying that the 0:45:32.239 --> 0:45:38.040 defendant is a moron, an idiot. Smells bad, terrible. But 0:45:38.440 --> 0:45:41.719 even though all of the judgments during the case made 0:45:41.760 --> 0:45:45.040 by the judge went against this defendant, we have no 0:45:46.000 --> 0:45:51.200 clear evidence that the bias that the judge established beforehand 0:45:51.840 --> 0:45:57.279 influenced any of those decisions. That is exactly what the 0:45:57.360 --> 0:45:59.960 DJ did with Hillary's emails. Now you would probably say, 0:46:00.000 --> 0:46:03.279 I mean, back hold on, a second federal judge would 0:46:03.320 --> 0:46:05.960 have to recuse himself. Oh, you mean like Lauretta Lynch 0:46:06.040 --> 0:46:10.120 recused herself, by the way, as the attorney general from 0:46:10.160 --> 0:46:12.800 the Hillary Oh no, she never recused herself from that. 0:46:12.920 --> 0:46:16.320 Did she remember how the Democrats play the game? Remember 0:46:16.360 --> 0:46:19.399 how we play. We have all these Republicans who are 0:46:19.719 --> 0:46:23.880 these little suck ups in the classroom who run around, Oh, 0:46:23.960 --> 0:46:26.960 I never play rough. Oh well, the teacher give me 0:46:27.040 --> 0:46:28.600 a pat on the head. You know, they're tending to 0:46:28.640 --> 0:46:30.200 be never trumpers, and this is what they do. They 0:46:30.320 --> 0:46:33.839 run around. Oh, how could we be so so harsh 0:46:33.920 --> 0:46:35.680 with the other side while the other side of just 0:46:35.880 --> 0:46:38.359 pounding our faces into the pavement all the time. That's 0:46:38.400 --> 0:46:40.200 how the left plays the game, and we walk around, Oh, 0:46:40.480 --> 0:46:42.160 we have people on our side. Why are we being 0:46:42.239 --> 0:46:45.160 so Why does Trump say the mean things about the Democrats. 0:46:46.440 --> 0:46:50.719 I'm glad somebody does. It's about time. But they don't 0:46:50.760 --> 0:46:53.000 recuse themselves from these things. They want to make sure 0:46:53.080 --> 0:46:55.040 they maintain control and they can keep the pressure on 0:46:55.120 --> 0:47:00.279 their opponents. This is what you're going to see play 0:47:00.320 --> 0:47:04.600 out once again. Though the judge who says he hates 0:47:04.680 --> 0:47:08.200 somebody then is in the trial makes every decision against 0:47:08.239 --> 0:47:09.880 that person. But at the end of the day, you 0:47:10.080 --> 0:47:13.520 can claim you can't prove that the judge made all 0:47:13.520 --> 0:47:16.080 those decisions because he hated the person, right that this 0:47:16.320 --> 0:47:18.800 is what you're going to see in this Inspector General report. 0:47:18.960 --> 0:47:21.560 This is my prediction for you. There'll be some Yes, 0:47:21.800 --> 0:47:24.439 someone change some stuff here, but you know, they change 0:47:24.440 --> 0:47:29.440 stuff to make the warrant the FIES are warrant application stronger, 0:47:30.320 --> 0:47:32.480 which is negative for Trump of course, and the Trump campaign. 0:47:32.520 --> 0:47:34.520 Then it would have otherwise been and you know, maybe 0:47:34.600 --> 0:47:36.440 they didn't do as much due diligence. They kind of 0:47:36.520 --> 0:47:38.440 ram through all this stuff just so they can get 0:47:38.480 --> 0:47:41.840 the FIES in going because remember, what if what if 0:47:41.880 --> 0:47:44.840 things had turned out a little bit differently. We always 0:47:44.880 --> 0:47:48.560 think about Russia collusion and the possibility that using carter 0:47:48.760 --> 0:47:54.160 Page would have been a way to backdoor get access 0:47:54.239 --> 0:47:56.840 to anyone that in the Trump campaign orbit that he 0:47:56.880 --> 0:47:59.880 had spoken to and any information he may have about 0:47:59.880 --> 0:48:04.120 the alleged Russia collusion. But what if they had found 0:48:04.200 --> 0:48:10.080 something else, What if there was some other criminality or 0:48:10.360 --> 0:48:13.200 collusion of some kind of what if there were campaign 0:48:13.320 --> 0:48:16.640 finance anything that they could have found in this whole process. 0:48:16.680 --> 0:48:18.239 Look at how they went after a Manaphort, look at 0:48:18.239 --> 0:48:22.080 how they're going after Roger Stone. You think they would 0:48:22.080 --> 0:48:26.400 have overlooked this was a way to get a fantastic, 0:48:26.880 --> 0:48:29.920 wide open access to somebody in constant contact with the 0:48:29.960 --> 0:48:35.160 Trump campaign, in different senior members of that campaign, and 0:48:35.280 --> 0:48:38.319 to do so on a fishing expedition, and to think 0:48:38.360 --> 0:48:40.680 that it would all be kept secret by the way, 0:48:42.200 --> 0:48:45.880 which as we know now it will not be. This 0:48:46.160 --> 0:48:50.440 is a perfect way to bring down a presidential campaign 0:48:50.560 --> 0:48:51.960 or to bring down a president And this is what 0:48:52.040 --> 0:48:58.080 the other side did. But there is one wrinkle in 0:48:58.320 --> 0:49:03.040 the left's plans here, I said, Horowitz will not will 0:49:03.120 --> 0:49:06.600 not allow for there to be any real consequences or 0:49:06.640 --> 0:49:09.920 accountability for the FBI won't allow it. It's not going 0:49:09.960 --> 0:49:13.000 to happen. It doesn't matter what's there. He already said, 0:49:13.120 --> 0:49:17.080 Lisa Page showed us that we can't really trust the 0:49:17.200 --> 0:49:20.279 FBI or raise us. I forget the verbiage raises core 0:49:20.320 --> 0:49:22.839 issues of trust the FBI. We already know that's there. 0:49:23.880 --> 0:49:25.040 But now we look at the rest of them. We 0:49:25.040 --> 0:49:28.880 said to ourselves, hold on a second. They're going to 0:49:28.920 --> 0:49:31.880 present us with all this evidence of bias and wrongdoing 0:49:32.239 --> 0:49:33.560 and then they're going to claim that there was no 0:49:33.640 --> 0:49:36.040 bias or wrongdoing. That's what's going to happen here again, 0:49:36.120 --> 0:49:40.480 isn't it? And the answer is Yes, that's what I'm 0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:42.480 telling you to get ready for. But there's one problem. 0:49:44.719 --> 0:49:47.719 They're not the only ones who get to shape the 0:49:47.800 --> 0:49:51.040 narrative here. There's another individual, as you know, one of 0:49:51.120 --> 0:49:54.960 my favorites in the administration, another individual out there who 0:49:55.239 --> 0:50:00.200 knows this game very well and probably saved Trump's presidents seal, 0:50:00.239 --> 0:50:02.640 though we don't often talk about it that way, because 0:50:02.719 --> 0:50:06.680 he knows the ambush that the left had had set 0:50:06.760 --> 0:50:08.920 for this president. He understands what they were doing, he 0:50:09.040 --> 0:50:12.719 knows what the dirty politics were, and that man, his 0:50:12.719 --> 0:50:16.439 Attorney General Bar the story in the Washington Post says 0:50:16.440 --> 0:50:21.720 it all my friends, Bar disputes key Inspector General finding 0:50:21.880 --> 0:50:28.200 about FBI's Russia investigation from the Washington Post. We know 0:50:28.400 --> 0:50:32.920 exactly what's going on here. This is the story published yesterday. 0:50:32.960 --> 0:50:37.120 Attorney General William P. Barr has told the associates he 0:50:37.200 --> 0:50:40.320 disagrees with the Justice Departments Inspector General on one of 0:50:40.360 --> 0:50:43.240 the key findings in an upcoming report that the FBI 0:50:43.360 --> 0:50:46.320 had enough information in July twenty sixteen to justify launching 0:50:46.360 --> 0:50:51.080 an investigation into members of the Trump campaign. According to 0:50:51.200 --> 0:50:55.360 people familiar with the matter, the Justice Department Inspector General 0:50:55.480 --> 0:50:57.880 Michael Horowitz is due to release his long awaited findings, 0:50:58.360 --> 0:51:00.840 but behind the scenes of the DJ disagreement at service 0:51:00.880 --> 0:51:03.960 about one of horow It's essential conclusions on the origins 0:51:04.000 --> 0:51:07.160 of the Russian investigation. The discord could be the prelude 0:51:07.160 --> 0:51:09.960 to a major fissure within financial law enforcement on the 0:51:10.040 --> 0:51:15.440 controversial question of investigating a presidential campaign. Barr has not 0:51:15.680 --> 0:51:20.920 been swayed by Horowitz is rationale for concluding that the 0:51:21.080 --> 0:51:24.439 FBI had sufvision basis to open an investigation on July 0:51:24.600 --> 0:51:29.120 thirty one, twenty sixteen. My friends, this is the Achilles 0:51:29.239 --> 0:51:32.479 heel of the whole situation. What have I been saying 0:51:32.480 --> 0:51:36.520 to you now for years? Mueller didn't even touch this. 0:51:36.680 --> 0:51:39.560 Why how did this whole thing get started? Where did 0:51:39.600 --> 0:51:43.440 this come from? Or we're to believe that they just 0:51:43.800 --> 0:51:48.880 happened to have people near Papadopolis, But Papadopolis happened to 0:51:48.960 --> 0:51:54.120 say a thing that Plice, We're not idiots. They had 0:51:54.160 --> 0:51:59.280 set up to get Papadopolis before this conversation he allegedly 0:51:59.320 --> 0:52:03.800 had with Downer in a bar in the UK. I 0:52:03.840 --> 0:52:08.359 believe papadop is running for a congress. By the way, yes, 0:52:09.160 --> 0:52:12.920 that's what they believe that they want us to believe 0:52:13.040 --> 0:52:18.120 that Bar knows. This is going to be the critical question. 0:52:19.360 --> 0:52:21.839 There will be all this information presented, and people who 0:52:21.880 --> 0:52:24.719 are very invested in this will tell you they will 0:52:24.760 --> 0:52:28.000 feign stupidity, they will feign an abject lack of judgment, 0:52:28.200 --> 0:52:31.640 and they will say to you that the Russia collusion 0:52:31.760 --> 0:52:36.839 investigation was a duly predicated investigation from the start, meaning 0:52:36.880 --> 0:52:40.680 that there was something other than political malice as the 0:52:40.760 --> 0:52:45.600 real motivation for looking into all of this. Bar is 0:52:45.640 --> 0:52:47.840 going to look at this according to support, and I 0:52:47.920 --> 0:52:51.640 believe in say not so fast. You're going to investigate 0:52:51.920 --> 0:52:55.840 a presidential campaign based on what a very low level 0:52:57.080 --> 0:52:59.800 advisory member of the campaign says to a guy in 0:52:59.840 --> 0:53:03.359 a bar in the UK. You're gonna do You're gonna 0:53:03.400 --> 0:53:07.719 make that call. You're then going to get FISA on 0:53:07.960 --> 0:53:11.920 another low level member of an advisory board of the 0:53:12.040 --> 0:53:18.600 Trump campaign. Really, and you're gonna act like that's fair. 0:53:18.680 --> 0:53:21.480 I mean, look, you know you have people to walk 0:53:21.520 --> 0:53:24.880 into police stations across the country and say that you know, 0:53:25.000 --> 0:53:27.239 Elvis is in their shower and Osama bin Laden is 0:53:27.280 --> 0:53:31.040 hiding under their bed. If you sent in a squat 0:53:31.120 --> 0:53:34.040 team kicked in the front door and shot a couple 0:53:34.080 --> 0:53:36.320 of people. Because you're doing a ray to find Elvis 0:53:36.360 --> 0:53:39.920 and Osama, people would want to ask some questions like 0:53:40.120 --> 0:53:44.759 what the heck are you doing? That is going to 0:53:44.880 --> 0:53:47.560 be what we are faced with by the f behind now. 0:53:47.880 --> 0:53:50.120 They were going to want us to believe they made 0:53:50.239 --> 0:53:54.239 stupid decisions in good faith, not because of politics, and 0:53:54.400 --> 0:53:56.239 bar is going to look at them it sounds like, 0:53:56.360 --> 0:54:00.120 and say, not so fast, we know what you're up to. 0:54:01.160 --> 0:54:05.840 This whole thing was in fact a hoax, an ambush, 0:54:06.239 --> 0:54:08.279 and a scam. So people are making a lot of 0:54:08.320 --> 0:54:11.479 jokes about Bloomberg getting into the race at this point, 0:54:12.160 --> 0:54:18.359 and it turns out that Mayor Bloomberg has jumped into 0:54:18.719 --> 0:54:21.719 in a very crowded field, fifth place according to the 0:54:21.960 --> 0:54:23.680 most recent poll I've seen right away is that like 0:54:23.760 --> 0:54:27.880 six percent ahead of Kamala Harris. S tells you a 0:54:27.920 --> 0:54:32.240 lot about the media's love affair with the Harris campaign. 0:54:32.800 --> 0:54:34.880 Is that's gonna have to come to an end at 0:54:34.960 --> 0:54:39.680 some point. There is really just no way that anyone's 0:54:39.680 --> 0:54:41.360 going to be able to continue to pretend that she is, 0:54:41.400 --> 0:54:44.200 as she once referred to herself, a top tier candidate. 0:54:45.400 --> 0:54:48.200 She is not a top tier candidate. But this is 0:54:48.280 --> 0:54:52.960 what the messages that we're getting from we're getting from 0:54:54.040 --> 0:54:58.839 the Democrat voters who are being pulled here. They all 0:54:58.960 --> 0:55:02.200 know thing and one thing only. They don't want Trump 0:55:02.280 --> 0:55:05.840 to be president. After that, it gets very hazy for 0:55:05.960 --> 0:55:09.720 a lot of them, because no person could look anyone 0:55:09.760 --> 0:55:12.879 else in the eye with seriousness and say, yeah, Joe 0:55:13.080 --> 0:55:17.520 Biden's the great Joe Biden the future of America. And 0:55:17.719 --> 0:55:23.239 there was a cartoon circulating yesterday where somebody, a brilliant cartoonist, 0:55:23.880 --> 0:55:27.080 created this little cartoon just set that Joe Biden. Yeah, 0:55:27.120 --> 0:55:29.600 and I got hair on my legs, and my legs 0:55:29.640 --> 0:55:31.640 are the blonde hair and the hair is sticking up, 0:55:31.719 --> 0:55:34.600 sticking up, staring at the sky, sun shining down on 0:55:34.680 --> 0:55:37.399 the legs. Little kids hopping around, dumping on my lap. 0:55:37.480 --> 0:55:40.040 I love it because my blonde leg hairs like all 0:55:40.160 --> 0:55:42.719 crazy straight. And then it's not. Then it's you know, 0:55:42.840 --> 0:55:46.840 it's like flying around my head and I'm crazy. Some 0:55:46.960 --> 0:55:49.480 guy created a video of it and it was it 0:55:49.680 --> 0:55:53.520 was amazing, It really was. I wish I could show. 0:55:53.560 --> 0:55:55.680 I wish those of you who are just listening on 0:55:55.680 --> 0:55:58.279 audio we could show it to you, but it was 0:55:58.440 --> 0:56:01.160 a stunning It was a starting to watch because this 0:56:01.360 --> 0:56:04.200 is the person. We're in a country of over three 0:56:04.280 --> 0:56:07.160 hundred and twenty million people, and the best the Democrats 0:56:07.239 --> 0:56:11.720 can do is this really old, not very bright, weird 0:56:11.880 --> 0:56:16.160 guy with some corruption issues that should get a little 0:56:16.160 --> 0:56:18.759 more investigation. I think, you know, I think all of 0:56:18.840 --> 0:56:21.359 that is fair. This guy's going to be the next 0:56:21.400 --> 0:56:23.359 president the United States. He's going to be the one 0:56:23.360 --> 0:56:25.520 with the nuclear codes. We've been told for years Trump 0:56:25.680 --> 0:56:29.480 is not fit for office. Oh oh, I'm sorry. Joe 0:56:29.600 --> 0:56:38.480 Biden is fit for office. I had seen references to 0:56:38.640 --> 0:56:46.400 the infamous corn Pop showdown, but I realized yesterday that 0:56:46.560 --> 0:56:52.279 we had not addressed the cornpop issue here on the show. 0:56:52.360 --> 0:56:54.879 And I feel like I am I am remiss as 0:56:54.920 --> 0:56:58.640 a result, because in that same campaign stop where he's talking, 0:56:58.640 --> 0:57:00.440 we wearing a hair and my leg is blood, and 0:57:00.480 --> 0:57:02.760 the sticks in the sky and the sun in my eye, 0:57:02.920 --> 0:57:05.560 and seven little chipmunks sitting on a brand she eat 0:57:05.600 --> 0:57:07.720 a lot of acorns, you know what I'm talking about. 0:57:11.120 --> 0:57:14.880 He also talked about his fight with at the public pool, 0:57:15.760 --> 0:57:21.480 the terrifying gang leader known as corn pop let Us 0:57:21.600 --> 0:57:24.640 revisit this. Shall we plick clip one? I learned a lot, 0:57:25.560 --> 0:57:29.120 and I learned that it makes a difference. This was 0:57:29.240 --> 0:57:32.880 the driving board area and I was one of the guards, 0:57:33.560 --> 0:57:35.480 and there weren't a lot of There's a three meter 0:57:35.640 --> 0:57:38.920 board and you fell off sideways. You landed on the damps, 0:57:39.160 --> 0:57:43.479 the darn cement over there. And Cornpop was a bad 0:57:43.680 --> 0:57:48.040 dude and he ran a bunch of bad boys. And 0:57:48.240 --> 0:57:50.360 I did yeah. He and back in those days and 0:57:50.440 --> 0:57:53.000 shot things have changed. One of the things he had 0:57:53.120 --> 0:57:55.120 to use. If you use pomade in your hair, you 0:57:55.200 --> 0:57:58.440 had to wear a bathing cap and show. He was 0:57:58.480 --> 0:58:00.480 up on the board. Wouldn't list him. I said, hey, Esther, 0:58:01.000 --> 0:58:04.720 you off the board. I'll come up and drag you off. Well, 0:58:04.760 --> 0:58:07.400 he came off, and he said, I'll meet you outside 0:58:07.520 --> 0:58:11.000 my car. This was mostly days were all public housing. 0:58:11.040 --> 0:58:13.640 Behind you my car. There was a gate on here. 0:58:13.840 --> 0:58:17.280 I parked my car outside the gate and I he said, 0:58:17.320 --> 0:58:19.439 I'll be waiting for you. Here's raight murder, three guys 0:58:19.480 --> 0:58:24.680 and straight racers. Not a joke. I just I'll have 0:58:24.840 --> 0:58:27.000 to note that here you have Joe Biden, who I've 0:58:27.080 --> 0:58:29.880 heard giving speeches before, and I've actually actually went to 0:58:30.320 --> 0:58:33.680 a speech where a number of Democrat, like third tier 0:58:33.720 --> 0:58:36.480 Democrat candidates back in two thousand and eight, we're giving speeches, 0:58:36.480 --> 0:58:37.880 and Joe Biden was one of them because he was 0:58:38.040 --> 0:58:39.920 right there with Kucinich and I don't even remember who 0:58:39.960 --> 0:58:42.560 else for people that had no shot of winning the presidency. 0:58:42.680 --> 0:58:44.959 But now he should be president. They tell you, because 0:58:44.960 --> 0:58:46.680 they got nothing else. They got nobody else on the bench. 0:58:46.800 --> 0:58:50.640 That's the problem. They got all these candidates, nobody that 0:58:50.720 --> 0:58:55.640 anyone's excited about. But I noticed that, Yeah, a guy 0:58:55.760 --> 0:58:58.640 named corn Pop and corn Pop out a bunch of 0:58:58.760 --> 0:59:01.200 bad dudes, is am I am? I the only one 0:59:01.240 --> 0:59:03.200 who picks up. He's like a little like a little 0:59:03.240 --> 0:59:06.280 bit of a Southern accent creeps into Joe Biden when 0:59:06.320 --> 0:59:08.640 he's trying to be a little folks here, right, I'm 0:59:08.680 --> 0:59:10.720 not making it look. Guy's from Delaware. He's got as 0:59:10.800 --> 0:59:13.120 much of an accent as I do. Yeah, ain't no 0:59:13.240 --> 0:59:16.480 corn Popper's three meters up on the board. And you 0:59:16.560 --> 0:59:19.080 know ros corn Pop got the dang in the hair 0:59:19.200 --> 0:59:21.560 and the puppy puppy pupp and the puppy poop. And 0:59:21.960 --> 0:59:24.040 you know, I'm just talking like this because I like 0:59:24.160 --> 0:59:28.920 to talk like Thatt. This is Joe Biden. Everybody is 0:59:29.000 --> 0:59:31.360 so Joe Biden's talking all of a sudden. I mean, 0:59:31.520 --> 0:59:33.680 you know, it reminds you of Hillary. Hillary got away 0:59:33.720 --> 0:59:35.600 with this tool one but you was at I'm so, 0:59:36.280 --> 0:59:40.240 I'm so down, tied my feet done, hurt. This was Hillary. 0:59:41.080 --> 0:59:44.480 I'm like, when did when did Hillary? All of a sudden? 0:59:44.640 --> 0:59:46.240 And if you go back and look at clips of her, 0:59:46.760 --> 0:59:49.360 because you know, she kind of actually has like more 0:59:49.400 --> 0:59:52.080 of a Midwestern thing if you really listen to her. 0:59:52.120 --> 0:59:54.320 Her intonation is. By the way, all the Midwestern people 0:59:54.320 --> 0:59:56.720 listening this right now are booing the crap out of me. 0:59:56.800 --> 0:59:58.880 And that's all right. I'm my Midwestern accent is not good. 0:59:58.920 --> 1:00:02.360 I agree, But she did do that sometimes. Joe Biden's 1:00:02.360 --> 1:00:05.479 doing it here too. Of these politicians. Remember Joe Biden 1:00:05.520 --> 1:00:08.120 will put you all back in chains. Joe Biden said, 1:00:11.000 --> 1:00:15.400 So this is the Cornpop showed on first of all, 1:00:16.040 --> 1:00:18.360 I mean, even in the fifties, do you really think 1:00:18.400 --> 1:00:22.000 that there was some nefarious character who carried around straight 1:00:22.120 --> 1:00:26.200 razors and threatened people in public places named corn Pop. 1:00:28.320 --> 1:00:30.480 I'm not saying it's a lie. I'm just saying it 1:00:30.640 --> 1:00:35.840 doesn't ring true. But the Great Corn Pop Showdown of 1:00:37.040 --> 1:00:41.560 like nineteen sixty two or something whenever this was, I 1:00:41.600 --> 1:00:44.600 don't know. Here here's how I went to play Clip two. 1:00:45.040 --> 1:00:48.080 There's a guy named bill Wright Mouse, the only white guy, 1:00:48.120 --> 1:00:50.880 and he did all the pools. He was the mechanic. 1:00:51.600 --> 1:00:53.240 And I said, what am I going to do? He said, 1:00:53.240 --> 1:00:56.680 come down here in the basement where mechanics. Where where 1:00:56.880 --> 1:01:00.200 all the pool builder is. You know, the chain used 1:01:00.200 --> 1:01:02.400 to be a chain that went across the deep end, 1:01:02.840 --> 1:01:04.680 and he cut off a six foot and left the chain. 1:01:04.760 --> 1:01:07.320 He fulled up. He said, you walk out with that chain. 1:01:08.240 --> 1:01:10.080 And you walked to the car and say, you may 1:01:10.200 --> 1:01:12.360 cut me man, but I'm gonna wrap this chain around 1:01:12.440 --> 1:01:16.120 your head. I said, you're kidding me. He said no, 1:01:16.280 --> 1:01:18.200 If you don't, don't come back. And he was right. 1:01:19.160 --> 1:01:22.600 So I walked out with the chain and I walked 1:01:22.680 --> 1:01:25.720 up to my car. And they had those days. You 1:01:25.760 --> 1:01:27.680 used to remember the straight razor. You bang him on 1:01:27.760 --> 1:01:30.160 the curb, get him rusty, put him in the rain barrel, 1:01:30.440 --> 1:01:33.840 get him rusty. And I looked at him, but I 1:01:34.000 --> 1:01:37.360 was smart. Then I said, first of all, I said, well, 1:01:37.400 --> 1:01:38.760 I tell you get off the board, and you get 1:01:38.800 --> 1:01:40.440 off the board, I'll kick you out again. But I 1:01:40.480 --> 1:01:43.600 shouldn't have called you Esther Williams. I apologize for that. 1:01:44.880 --> 1:01:47.360 I apologize, but I didn't know that apologie is going 1:01:47.440 --> 1:01:50.480 to work. He said, you apologize me. I said, I 1:01:50.600 --> 1:01:53.040 apologize what I'm not for thrown you out, but I 1:01:53.080 --> 1:01:56.360 apologize to what I said. He said, okay, closed the 1:01:56.440 --> 1:02:01.200 straight razors, and my heart began to beat again. I mean, 1:02:01.360 --> 1:02:03.240 Joe Biden's telling you here that he was like about 1:02:03.240 --> 1:02:08.440 to get into some gay warfare kind of fight. Remember 1:02:08.480 --> 1:02:10.680 back in the day when they take the straight razor 1:02:10.680 --> 1:02:12.680 and they make it all rusty? Is that is that 1:02:12.760 --> 1:02:15.880 a thing? People make the straight razor rusty? So that 1:02:17.440 --> 1:02:19.360 why why they think they're gonna give you a tetanus. 1:02:19.400 --> 1:02:21.800 I don't understand what this is all, But again, this 1:02:21.960 --> 1:02:24.760 is just this guy. Look he's he's just full of it. Man, 1:02:24.840 --> 1:02:26.800 He's always been full of it. It's amazing. He's like, 1:02:27.280 --> 1:02:29.200 I'm not tired to get off the board. Gotta get 1:02:29.240 --> 1:02:34.000 off the board. I've heard Joe Biden, he speaks normally 1:02:34.120 --> 1:02:36.760 without any any of this intonation whatsoever. But he thought 1:02:36.800 --> 1:02:38.560 that this would go over well with his crowd. But 1:02:38.680 --> 1:02:41.480 even more than that, it's just such a weird It's 1:02:41.520 --> 1:02:45.440 such a weird story for him to tell, and I 1:02:45.520 --> 1:02:48.320 don't believe it. I mean, Joe Biden, he's walking out, 1:02:48.560 --> 1:02:50.240 He's walking to meet a guy who has a straight 1:02:50.360 --> 1:02:53.600 razor in the parking lot of a public pool. There's 1:02:53.600 --> 1:02:55.560 gonna be people everywhere, and he takes a chain out 1:02:55.600 --> 1:02:58.200 with him. I mean, do you believe that Joe Biden 1:02:58.320 --> 1:02:59.960 is some kind of badass he's willing to get into. 1:03:00.120 --> 1:03:01.520 You know, is this like the movie? What is it? 1:03:01.560 --> 1:03:04.200 The movie Warriors? Right? Isn't that where they the gangs 1:03:04.240 --> 1:03:06.440 in New York where they got the change come out 1:03:06.520 --> 1:03:08.720 to play a Yeah, I don't even know what that is, 1:03:08.760 --> 1:03:12.400 but I'm Starriors. It's yeah to play. I just know 1:03:12.600 --> 1:03:14.280 of the movie. But I know they all carry around 1:03:14.280 --> 1:03:16.440 ship that used to be a thing gang members that 1:03:16.480 --> 1:03:18.120 would carry a chance chain is not that good of 1:03:18.160 --> 1:03:22.200 a weapon, Yeah, exactly. I mean, if someone gives me 1:03:22.280 --> 1:03:24.320 the choice between a chain or a baseball bat, you 1:03:24.400 --> 1:03:26.320 go baseball bat. Every time. I think you go knife 1:03:26.360 --> 1:03:29.240 over chain too. Yeah, you could throw it. Yeah, you know, 1:03:29.280 --> 1:03:30.520 it reminds me of how we used to think that 1:03:30.640 --> 1:03:34.320 like nun chuckoos were a serious weapon. They're in fact 1:03:34.600 --> 1:03:37.920 illegal because people got so scared of them from movies. 1:03:38.040 --> 1:03:42.000 They're illegal in New York California. Now you cannot have 1:03:42.240 --> 1:03:44.200 It's like two pieces of metal with a string between it. 1:03:44.320 --> 1:03:46.840 That's illegal. And it's just because they're all these movies 1:03:46.880 --> 1:03:48.840 in the seventies and eighties where these gang members had 1:03:49.240 --> 1:03:52.440 you known nun chuck nunchuckoos or numbchucks or you know, 1:03:52.480 --> 1:03:54.920 people call them different things. I believe the proper terminology 1:03:54.960 --> 1:03:57.480 is nun chuck us, but people call them numb chucks. 1:03:57.960 --> 1:04:01.520 That's what Michael Langlow said. That's right. The orange Nature Turtle. 1:04:01.640 --> 1:04:03.360 It's not. I mean, people saw that Bruce Lee movie 1:04:03.360 --> 1:04:06.720 and he's like hitting all these guys with No, it's not. 1:04:06.880 --> 1:04:09.640 It's not that easy. Actually, you really don't want you 1:04:09.720 --> 1:04:11.840 really don't want to be squaring off against somebody with 1:04:11.960 --> 1:04:15.400 with numpchucks. It's not it's not the best weapon. Not 1:04:15.480 --> 1:04:16.800 that I've been in a lot of gang fights. It's 1:04:16.840 --> 1:04:18.480 not gonna lie, you know, but I'm not the one 1:04:18.520 --> 1:04:20.800 sitting there like, hey, then a bunch of guys said 1:04:20.840 --> 1:04:22.800 they're gonna cut me with a straight race or not 1:04:22.880 --> 1:04:25.840 grab a chain. I put on my leather jacket with 1:04:25.920 --> 1:04:28.439 the cutoff sleeves I had. They had him a gang 1:04:28.560 --> 1:04:30.520 colors on the back, and I just went out, you 1:04:30.560 --> 1:04:34.080 know your next president of the United States, everybody. And 1:04:34.200 --> 1:04:37.000 this isn't from like twenty years ago. This isn't like 1:04:37.160 --> 1:04:40.200 him talking as a youth. This is a few weeks back. 1:04:42.680 --> 1:04:44.439 This is what the Democrats that. This is why Michael 1:04:44.440 --> 1:04:46.600 Bloomberg could get in the race and he's at you know, 1:04:46.680 --> 1:04:49.000 six percent, run off the back. This is the front runner. 1:04:49.160 --> 1:04:50.880 This isn't I'm not just making fun of some I'm 1:04:50.960 --> 1:04:55.160 like kookie candidate that nobody's you know, serious about. Is 1:04:55.200 --> 1:05:01.560 the Democrat front runner. This guy. Here's a fun question, 1:05:01.640 --> 1:05:05.480 ask your Democrats, what is the big idea that Joe 1:05:05.600 --> 1:05:10.000 Biden is running with and in support of. He's just 1:05:10.120 --> 1:05:15.200 a vessel for people's wishing longing for the Obama era. 1:05:15.360 --> 1:05:17.480 That's really it. There's nothing that's not an idea, that's 1:05:17.880 --> 1:05:20.040 that's a fantasy. We're not going back to the Obama air. 1:05:20.080 --> 1:05:23.600 We're not going back to politics pre Trump. Liberals need 1:05:23.680 --> 1:05:25.440 to get a hold of this, They need to get 1:05:25.440 --> 1:05:29.120 an understanding of this. But I think it's gonna happen 1:05:29.160 --> 1:05:32.040 anytime soon. Everybody. We got our friend David Harsani in 1:05:32.120 --> 1:05:34.720 the mix. He is a writer at National Review. He's 1:05:34.720 --> 1:05:36.520 got a great piece up on National Review right now, 1:05:36.600 --> 1:05:40.720 anti majoritarianism isn't on American And although we're gonna put 1:05:40.760 --> 1:05:41.880 a pin on that for one seconds, I want to 1:05:41.880 --> 1:05:44.520 ask him about some of the latest and greatest David. 1:05:44.520 --> 1:05:47.000 Great to have you back. Always a pleasure. Thanks. So 1:05:47.080 --> 1:05:50.440 we're just talking about Bloomberg and Biden. By the way, 1:05:50.440 --> 1:05:53.960 are you having as much fun with the blonde hair, 1:05:54.240 --> 1:06:00.200 straight legs, and corn pop story situation as everybody else? 1:06:01.320 --> 1:06:03.360 I am. You know how it works these days, as 1:06:03.400 --> 1:06:05.680 I'm not sure if things are actually true or not. 1:06:05.960 --> 1:06:08.440 I have to sort of research to make sure that 1:06:08.560 --> 1:06:11.200 these things are actually happening, and they are they are legitimate. 1:06:11.280 --> 1:06:13.240 So I am having fun. Yet, I mean, how can 1:06:13.320 --> 1:06:16.880 this guy what is he? Why is Biden? I was 1:06:16.920 --> 1:06:18.560 just talking this before we called him. Why is Biden 1:06:18.600 --> 1:06:20.760 the front runner? What is your take? How is this 1:06:20.920 --> 1:06:25.360 guy who's really somewhat clownish and preposterous and not even 1:06:25.640 --> 1:06:29.920 not even entertaining clownish? What's going on? Well? I think 1:06:30.720 --> 1:06:33.320 people envision him as a certain kind of candidate, and 1:06:33.680 --> 1:06:37.680 without really paying that much attention to him, he's people 1:06:37.720 --> 1:06:40.480 forget he's you know, he's had failed presidential candidatis and 1:06:40.600 --> 1:06:44.520 not like slightly failed, but just like complete disasters before, 1:06:44.680 --> 1:06:47.320 and he's not ever been that great a politician. I 1:06:47.400 --> 1:06:50.080 think what's happened is that people are looking for a 1:06:50.280 --> 1:06:53.520 candidate who can win. So it's some kind of moderate candidate, 1:06:53.560 --> 1:06:55.920 and he, I guess fits that bill and has enough 1:06:55.960 --> 1:06:58.800 experience in name recognition that it puts him in the lead. 1:06:58.880 --> 1:07:00.720 And people keep telling me he's going to fall apart 1:07:00.760 --> 1:07:02.919 and it's going to be over. But every poll I see, 1:07:03.720 --> 1:07:05.960 you know, he seems a pretty clear front runner to me. 1:07:06.560 --> 1:07:08.840 Now Bloomberg is in at i think six percent in 1:07:08.920 --> 1:07:11.760 the poll. Do you think that he shakes things up 1:07:11.800 --> 1:07:14.120 and makes anything, makes any noise that's worth hearing, at 1:07:14.200 --> 1:07:18.280 least in terms of changing things around. I'm not sure yet. 1:07:18.320 --> 1:07:21.320 I think that there's obviously some I mean, it feels 1:07:21.320 --> 1:07:24.000 to me like Democrats that haven't found the candidate, that 1:07:24.040 --> 1:07:27.800 they're looking for someone who they feel like can win, 1:07:28.080 --> 1:07:31.160 someone who's not too far to the left. You know, 1:07:31.320 --> 1:07:34.440 at least certain Democrats so it's possible that he can 1:07:34.480 --> 1:07:37.240 take some of that, some of that away from maybe 1:07:37.280 --> 1:07:41.000 Biden or mayor Peter or things like that. But in 1:07:41.080 --> 1:07:43.320 the end, though, I just don't I don't think he's 1:07:43.360 --> 1:07:46.200 likable enough, and I don't think that his positions are 1:07:46.240 --> 1:07:49.240 of the moment, especially on the left. Why can't may 1:07:49.280 --> 1:07:53.120 or Peak get more traction. I think he's actually kind 1:07:53.120 --> 1:07:55.200 of a lightweight when you really listen to him. I mean, 1:07:55.240 --> 1:07:56.800 I don't know if that's the reason. I just think 1:07:56.840 --> 1:07:59.160 maybe it's a name recognition thing, maybe because it looks 1:07:59.200 --> 1:08:01.400 like he's in second rate. I mean, you know, it 1:08:01.440 --> 1:08:04.400 could be various things that turn off people. And there's 1:08:04.400 --> 1:08:06.600 still so many people running, so you never know, once 1:08:06.960 --> 1:08:09.640 Kamala Harris drops out or other people he may get, 1:08:09.880 --> 1:08:12.320 you know, those people might come over to him. So 1:08:12.920 --> 1:08:14.919 out of the people still left, I think he still 1:08:14.960 --> 1:08:16.720 has somewhat of a chance. And do you think that 1:08:17.320 --> 1:08:20.800 in taverns and local bars across the country, people are 1:08:20.800 --> 1:08:24.560 going to be pouring out some shots for the tragically 1:08:25.640 --> 1:08:30.800 ended set Stack campaign. Sometimes I'm like, oh, yeah, he 1:08:30.920 --> 1:08:34.800 was running. It's weird. I guess people have nothing to 1:08:34.880 --> 1:08:36.600 lose anymore when they run, so you get tons of 1:08:36.600 --> 1:08:38.720 people running just for maybe because they want to be 1:08:38.840 --> 1:08:40.599 VP or something like that. I mean, it's like Michael 1:08:40.640 --> 1:08:43.000 Bennett still running. I don't even know. Yeah, that's a 1:08:43.040 --> 1:08:46.400 good question, by the one. Are your expectations for the 1:08:46.880 --> 1:08:49.640 IG report as it's just now days away. I mean 1:08:49.720 --> 1:08:52.439 I've been telling everybody that I think that there'll be 1:08:52.600 --> 1:08:54.400 some bad stuff, but it'll be just like what the 1:08:54.560 --> 1:08:57.479 bureaucracies always do. Would you say, well, you know, there 1:08:57.560 --> 1:09:00.280 were some minor mistakes made, but overall everything's on and 1:09:00.320 --> 1:09:01.920 there's nothing really to be worried. There's no deep state, 1:09:01.960 --> 1:09:03.400 there's nothing to be worried about. What do you think? 1:09:04.360 --> 1:09:07.759 I think that you're probably right though. All the leaking 1:09:07.880 --> 1:09:10.519 going on these days, and in all the sort of 1:09:10.640 --> 1:09:13.479 preemptive defenses that are going on, it makes me think 1:09:13.560 --> 1:09:15.960 that maybe it'll you know that people are a little 1:09:15.960 --> 1:09:18.559 bit worried about what's in there, But I mean generally 1:09:18.560 --> 1:09:21.200 you don't see the bureaucracy saying, you know, they've sort 1:09:21.240 --> 1:09:23.519 of you know, give you a pat on the hand 1:09:23.600 --> 1:09:25.200 or whatever. They don't you know, they're not going to 1:09:25.479 --> 1:09:28.080 really come out. Yeah. Do you remember the five hundred 1:09:28.080 --> 1:09:30.360 page Horowitz Report where it was I read this thing 1:09:30.400 --> 1:09:32.479 and I remember thinking, well, this is this looks terrible. 1:09:32.479 --> 1:09:35.000 I mean, this is bias everywhere. They're like, well, you know, 1:09:35.160 --> 1:09:38.040 just because you have every reason to believe somebody's biased 1:09:38.080 --> 1:09:40.439 doesn't mean their actual decision. I mean, it seemed to 1:09:40.479 --> 1:09:42.559 me that the Inspector General reports set a standard where 1:09:42.640 --> 1:09:44.920 unless you have people working the DOJ who are saying, 1:09:45.200 --> 1:09:47.400 I am doing this because I think Hillary is going 1:09:47.439 --> 1:09:49.519 to be president and I want to help her, there's 1:09:49.560 --> 1:09:52.120 no bias. You can't prove it, right, We can never 1:09:52.280 --> 1:09:54.840 prove it, or it's almost impossible to prove intent. But 1:09:55.120 --> 1:09:57.240 that's why they haven't rules set up so that you 1:09:57.360 --> 1:10:01.200 don't even either create the impression there's something some bias 1:10:01.280 --> 1:10:03.960 going on, or that there is bias going on. So 1:10:04.080 --> 1:10:06.280 obviously when you break those rules, you break them for 1:10:06.880 --> 1:10:08.600 a reason. When you say things, you say them for 1:10:08.680 --> 1:10:11.240 a reason. So to me, it's incredible that we keep 1:10:11.320 --> 1:10:15.000 talking about the intent rather than the professionalism of the 1:10:15.080 --> 1:10:18.200 agents that you're talking about. Yeah, there's definitely going to 1:10:18.280 --> 1:10:20.720 be a drop in the stock in my opinion of 1:10:20.800 --> 1:10:25.120 the f behind the DOJ whenever this thing comes out. 1:10:25.720 --> 1:10:28.639 It's actually terrible in a way that Americans can trust 1:10:28.640 --> 1:10:31.120 their institutions anymore. And it's not. And everyone wants to 1:10:31.160 --> 1:10:33.840 blame Trump, Trump and Trump fans and all that stuff, 1:10:33.840 --> 1:10:36.400 but they do most of this to themselves. Now I think, 1:10:36.400 --> 1:10:38.000 I think that's absolutely true. And I think as we 1:10:38.120 --> 1:10:42.719 continue to see the Democrat standard here as always, Trump 1:10:42.840 --> 1:10:45.160 is a stronger institutions. And then they talk about to 1:10:45.200 --> 1:10:48.639 stronger institutions, and maybe that's actually a perfect place, David 1:10:48.880 --> 1:10:51.439 to transition to your piece up in National Review. So guys, 1:10:51.479 --> 1:10:54.880 hold one sec we'll get into that.

He's telling us 1:11:56.280 --> 1:11:58.280 a little bit about his piece or he's about two 1:11:58.680 --> 1:12:03.320 antimajority arm isn't on American David. Thanks for staying with us, 1:12:03.760 --> 1:12:06.120 O my pleasure. All right, So you're talking about Atlantic 1:12:06.200 --> 1:12:11.439 writer Adam sir wars attack on Trump supporters, essentially saying 1:12:11.520 --> 1:12:14.280 that because they want judges, for example, that will defend 1:12:14.320 --> 1:12:18.320 their rights, that that's not accountability to democracy. Walk us 1:12:18.360 --> 1:12:22.000 through this new trend in left wing public intellectual thought 1:12:22.120 --> 1:12:24.680 and why it's basically crazy. But I'll let you put 1:12:24.760 --> 1:12:27.280 in your own words. Well, I mean, the new case 1:12:27.439 --> 1:12:31.479 against Trumpism is that social conservatives have sold their soul 1:12:31.560 --> 1:12:33.960 so they can because they can sell their ideas through 1:12:34.000 --> 1:12:38.160 the democratic process, they will use undemocratic means, using Donald 1:12:38.200 --> 1:12:40.800 Trump to get what they want. This is kind of 1:12:40.840 --> 1:12:45.960 a ridiculous contention for one reason. For the most the 1:12:46.000 --> 1:12:48.759 biggest reason is that Obviously Donald Trump has selected president. 1:12:48.880 --> 1:12:51.479 So it's not as if social conservatives haven't won anything 1:12:51.560 --> 1:12:53.720 they ran. You know, conservative are in the House and 1:12:54.479 --> 1:12:57.080 until recently, and they run the Senate for years, they 1:12:57.120 --> 1:13:00.200 can win elections. This is all based simply on one 1:13:00.280 --> 1:13:03.880 popular vote. More that Trump never ran for that's imaginary. 1:13:03.960 --> 1:13:06.040 But more than that, they believe that anytime the court 1:13:06.120 --> 1:13:08.880 strikes down something in their favor for religious liberty or 1:13:09.000 --> 1:13:12.800 gun rights or free speech, that social conservative are using 1:13:12.880 --> 1:13:17.360 some kind of undemocratic system, whereas democrats, I mean, abortion, 1:13:17.520 --> 1:13:19.920 gay marriage, is a whole list of lidany of things 1:13:20.000 --> 1:13:23.240 in other cases that they've been upheld by the courts 1:13:23.240 --> 1:13:24.840 that they would never have had without the courts, that 1:13:24.920 --> 1:13:26.960 they've never called those on democratics. So I just think 1:13:27.439 --> 1:13:30.960 it's a hypocrisymb just simply untrue. And you know, yesterday 1:13:31.000 --> 1:13:33.800 we talked a little bit here about the Elizabeth Warren 1:13:33.880 --> 1:13:37.160 promised to get rid of the electoral college. Is this 1:13:37.400 --> 1:13:42.400 just shameless pandering from Warren? I mean she does a 1:13:42.479 --> 1:13:44.679 lot of that, or do you think that she would 1:13:44.720 --> 1:13:47.519 really if she could, would she really want to do that? 1:13:48.160 --> 1:13:50.120 One hundred percent believe she would want to do that 1:13:50.200 --> 1:13:52.160 if she could. I mean, there are efforts underway to 1:13:52.200 --> 1:13:53.920 get a bunch of states to sign a pack to 1:13:54.120 --> 1:13:57.439 to to throw away their votes to a popular vote 1:13:57.479 --> 1:14:01.120 in their electoral votes, to a popular vote overall, if 1:14:01.160 --> 1:14:02.800 they could, and I'm sure she would do it. I'm 1:14:02.840 --> 1:14:05.120 sure Bernie Sanders would do it. I mean other people. Obviously, 1:14:05.160 --> 1:14:08.080 I don't know if what Joe Biden would do. But 1:14:08.240 --> 1:14:10.760 I just don't understand. So people tell me, oh, you 1:14:10.840 --> 1:14:12.400 know that's never going to happen, don't worry about it. 1:14:12.520 --> 1:14:15.080 You can still vote against Trump. Well I shouldn't. I 1:14:15.120 --> 1:14:18.640 take what politicians say seriously, meaning they're telling me they 1:14:18.680 --> 1:14:20.680 want to overturn the system. But you're telling me that's 1:14:20.720 --> 1:14:22.360 what you're telling me Trump is doing. But these people 1:14:22.360 --> 1:14:25.120 are openly advocating for the very same things you're telling 1:14:25.160 --> 1:14:27.439 me Trump is doing that he's not. So it makes 1:14:27.479 --> 1:14:29.920 no sense to me. Now is your what is your 1:14:30.000 --> 1:14:33.120 best case for why we should keep the electoral College? 1:14:33.160 --> 1:14:36.280 By the way, Well, because we have we have fifty 1:14:36.360 --> 1:14:40.040 different states that deserve their you know, in a diffused democracy, 1:14:40.120 --> 1:14:42.640 deserve their own say, rather than having California and New 1:14:42.720 --> 1:14:47.080 York running the country. If you had if you had 1:14:47.160 --> 1:14:49.320 no electoral college. You know, Trump would have run a 1:14:49.400 --> 1:14:51.840 different campaign. He'd be in New York, he being California, 1:14:52.479 --> 1:14:55.280 pandering to those people with more liberal kind of ideas, 1:14:55.600 --> 1:14:57.479 and we'd have two states that mattered in a bunch 1:14:57.479 --> 1:14:59.719 of states that didn't. That's not how the founders envisioned 1:14:59.720 --> 1:15:03.280 the treat Well, I certainly agree with that. I'm just wondering, 1:15:03.360 --> 1:15:09.760 what are your expectations for this Wednesday's judiciary hearing and impeachment? 1:15:11.320 --> 1:15:13.080 Oh gosh, I don't even know. I mean, I think 1:15:13.120 --> 1:15:15.040 you're gonna have a lot of that same where the 1:15:15.120 --> 1:15:17.960 press is like, you know, you can always tell where 1:15:18.000 --> 1:15:19.840 there's going to be a tweet that's just annoying and 1:15:19.960 --> 1:15:22.960 untrue when someone has to put wow when they first tweet. 1:15:23.040 --> 1:15:26.080 You know, these reporters now do or like three exclamation points. 1:15:26.400 --> 1:15:27.720 You're gonna get a lot of that, and then when 1:15:27.720 --> 1:15:30.519 you actually read what was said, it'll be more of 1:15:30.560 --> 1:15:33.320 the same. I just don't think anyone's mind is being 1:15:33.439 --> 1:15:36.840 changed here. I don't think presidential candidates a lovely idea 1:15:36.840 --> 1:15:40.640 of impeachment. And you know, how do you line this? 1:15:40.760 --> 1:15:43.000 I mean, because I agree, by the way, I love 1:15:43.080 --> 1:15:45.720 seeing all these and it's fun to guess at what 1:15:46.360 --> 1:15:49.519 some reporters are going to say about certain certain uh 1:15:50.000 --> 1:15:52.120 you know, witnesses and this impeachment thing before they even say, 1:15:52.120 --> 1:15:54.639 because it's really easy. They're like, oh my gosh, Trump, 1:15:55.040 --> 1:15:57.559 this is the final you know, now he's gone too far, 1:15:57.960 --> 1:15:59.360 and then they end up writing it. I mean, these 1:15:59.400 --> 1:16:01.799 people have no they're not not only are they bad fingers, 1:16:01.880 --> 1:16:04.719 they have no originality which is really really pretty annoying 1:16:04.920 --> 1:16:07.640 skepticism about anything. I mean, I understand you on like 1:16:07.720 --> 1:16:11.479 trumpets show some skepticism towards both sides. I mean, that's 1:16:11.479 --> 1:16:13.519 what a good reporter should be doing. Yeah, that's that's 1:16:13.560 --> 1:16:15.000 been totally a band. I want to ask about it 1:16:15.080 --> 1:16:17.400 about that actually, because I think that people tend to 1:16:17.439 --> 1:16:24.120 look at Trump as the this singular exposure of the 1:16:24.320 --> 1:16:27.200 media in a way that has never really been done before. 1:16:27.200 --> 1:16:28.600 I mean, I think there's some truth to that. To 1:16:28.680 --> 1:16:30.799 be sure, he goes after them in a way publicly 1:16:30.840 --> 1:16:33.160 and has a megaphone. They're not used to anyone ever 1:16:33.240 --> 1:16:34.960 having a megaphone that can match what they can do, 1:16:35.080 --> 1:16:36.560 usually in a left right. So Trump all of a 1:16:36.600 --> 1:16:41.600 sudden is at least able to meet them at a 1:16:41.920 --> 1:16:44.479 pretty equivalent level in terms of how many people he 1:16:44.560 --> 1:16:46.360 can reach and how he doesn't have to go through 1:16:46.520 --> 1:16:48.679 them in the same way. But I also you mentioned 1:16:48.720 --> 1:16:51.280 Twitter all the exclamation points. I think that Twitter is 1:16:51.400 --> 1:16:55.600 in a sense that the death of quote nonpartisan journalism, 1:16:55.840 --> 1:16:58.240 because we just see all these journals all day long, like, 1:16:58.640 --> 1:17:01.200 what do they retweet, what are they like? What do 1:17:01.280 --> 1:17:03.559 they say? I mean, it's sort of like the DOJ 1:17:03.680 --> 1:17:05.519 thing where they say, well, there's lots and lots and 1:17:05.600 --> 1:17:07.720 lots of bias about the Hillary email thing, but we 1:17:07.920 --> 1:17:10.800 can't prove that any of those decisions were biased. It's 1:17:10.840 --> 1:17:13.760 just that there was people saying bias stuff. I feel 1:17:13.760 --> 1:17:15.920 like it's the same argument getting out with journalists where 1:17:15.920 --> 1:17:19.120 it's anti Trump screeds all day in the Twitter feed, 1:17:19.160 --> 1:17:22.320 either retweeted or shared or liked or written themselves. But 1:17:22.479 --> 1:17:25.200 then when they're covering the Capitol Hill stuff, it's like, well, 1:17:25.600 --> 1:17:29.120 we're honest, we're honest brokers in this Yeah. I mean, 1:17:29.200 --> 1:17:32.080 Twitter has been a revelation in the sense of showing 1:17:32.240 --> 1:17:34.280 us what all these journals are really like and what 1:17:34.400 --> 1:17:37.479 they think they can control themselves. And obviously I don't 1:17:37.520 --> 1:17:39.599 know what that's like. I'm having had to control myself 1:17:39.680 --> 1:17:42.479 in that way for a long time, but they simply 1:17:42.600 --> 1:17:46.479 can't not retweet things. And once Trump does, you know, 1:17:46.600 --> 1:17:48.479 start doing what he does where he's just sort of 1:17:48.600 --> 1:17:52.000 pushes right back and over the top stuff, they feel 1:17:52.040 --> 1:17:53.840 like now they can you know, they don't have to 1:17:53.920 --> 1:17:56.719 pretend that they're not completely biased. I mean, CNN runs 1:17:56.880 --> 1:17:59.400 an anti Trump organization. They have no interest in any 1:17:59.439 --> 1:18:02.519 sort of other truth. So, you know, I think that 1:18:02.680 --> 1:18:04.559 that's bad for the American people in a way because 1:18:04.800 --> 1:18:07.160 we don't choose a journalists anymore. But in another way, 1:18:07.280 --> 1:18:09.360 at least it tells us what the truth is and 1:18:09.520 --> 1:18:11.639 that we can just deal with it, deal with them 1:18:12.479 --> 1:18:14.640 in a more honest way. So that's what it is, 1:18:15.240 --> 1:18:18.520 David Harsani. Everybody, he approaches lots of things with skepticism. 1:18:18.640 --> 1:18:20.479 So that's the good dude, is he. It's not easily 1:18:23.560 --> 1:18:28.080 easily swayed. Anti majoritarianism, isn't an American that's a national review. 1:18:28.400 --> 1:18:30.439 David Harsani, thank you so much, so we'll talk to 1:18:30.479 --> 1:18:32.760 you soon. Thank you. There's no question that the far 1:18:33.000 --> 1:18:35.959 left thinks it is ascendant right now in our politics, 1:18:36.000 --> 1:18:39.280 and I think that they are on some solid ground 1:18:39.400 --> 1:18:43.480 in thinking. So you've got Sanders and Warren who are socialists. 1:18:43.680 --> 1:18:46.360 They're socialists. We could sit around and talk about the 1:18:46.920 --> 1:18:49.960 nuances and the variations. They are socialists, and they are 1:18:50.080 --> 1:18:52.360 number two and three right now in all the polls, 1:18:53.520 --> 1:18:56.960 and that means, by the way, if you combine their numbers, 1:18:57.000 --> 1:18:59.120 it'd probably be meaning if one of them drops out, 1:18:59.560 --> 1:19:03.439 it's gonna be Bunny, but who knows, Maybe it's gonna 1:19:03.439 --> 1:19:06.559 be warn. He wants to see if he can help 1:19:06.680 --> 1:19:12.920 last the lesser socialist Elizabeth Warren. But that's that's another 1:19:12.960 --> 1:19:15.240 way of looking at this, so that we all understand 1:19:15.320 --> 1:19:20.360 exactly how left wing the Democratic Party has gotten. And 1:19:20.520 --> 1:19:23.240 you even have some candidates now who are quite far left. 1:19:23.280 --> 1:19:26.800 We'll be running in twenty twenty, including mister jenk Uger. 1:19:27.200 --> 1:19:28.680 And I do not know if i'm pronouncing his life 1:19:28.720 --> 1:19:30.960 pronounce his first name, because he's known as jenk. I 1:19:31.040 --> 1:19:34.800 know that that's his name. I've talked to him before. Uger. 1:19:34.880 --> 1:19:36.519 I'm not sure if that's how you say's last name, 1:19:36.520 --> 1:19:38.760 but I'm not trying to mispronounce it. That's a that's lame. 1:19:38.800 --> 1:19:41.760 I just don't know how to say it. But he's 1:19:41.880 --> 1:19:46.680 running for Congress now and he is, as you may 1:19:46.840 --> 1:19:50.040 some of you may know, the founder of the Young Turks, 1:19:50.080 --> 1:19:53.960 which is an online probably the most far left. I mean, 1:19:53.960 --> 1:19:56.160 it's kind of like The Nation, which is a bunch 1:19:56.160 --> 1:20:01.240 of commies where to found a news an online news program. 1:20:01.360 --> 1:20:03.800 They raised a whole bunch of money from, you know, 1:20:03.960 --> 1:20:09.720 a left wing multi multi millionaire or billionaire recently. That's 1:20:09.920 --> 1:20:12.439 so they're very well funded socialists, which tends to be 1:20:12.520 --> 1:20:16.839 the case. People that love to benefit from the excesses 1:20:16.880 --> 1:20:19.519 of capitalism and then talk about or rather just benefit 1:20:19.640 --> 1:20:23.439 from capitalism and then like to talk about how they 1:20:23.520 --> 1:20:27.200 hate capitalism. I hope to one day be so rich 1:20:27.320 --> 1:20:29.640 that I can talk about how we shouldn't live in 1:20:29.680 --> 1:20:32.040 a societymore where people can get rich, let's close the 1:20:32.120 --> 1:20:34.640 door for everybody else. I would have be one of 1:20:34.680 --> 1:20:36.519 these rich people who's like, I don't think anybody else 1:20:36.560 --> 1:20:39.559 should be really rich, you know, and therefore I am 1:20:39.720 --> 1:20:43.680 I am justifying my richness by saying that nobody else 1:20:43.680 --> 1:20:46.400 should be rich. That would be That would be a fun, 1:20:47.000 --> 1:20:49.680 self indulgent place to be, wouldn't I think there's no 1:20:49.840 --> 1:20:55.160 question about that. But the Young Churches also employed some 1:20:55.240 --> 1:20:59.479 of the nastiest, dumbest, and most vicious and stupid left 1:20:59.560 --> 1:21:03.960 wing talking heads in all of America, So they have 1:21:04.080 --> 1:21:07.719 that distinction. I mean people who are just odious characters, 1:21:08.520 --> 1:21:10.599 as we have discussed before on the show, bad people, 1:21:10.760 --> 1:21:14.519 people that are unworthy of respect or real discourse, people 1:21:14.600 --> 1:21:17.439 that are deserving of and they are stupid audience by 1:21:17.479 --> 1:21:23.040 the way, as well deserving of approbrium. But jenk is 1:21:23.320 --> 1:21:25.120 you know he will, he will engage, you, will debate, 1:21:25.240 --> 1:21:28.240 So I at least will give him credit for standing 1:21:28.360 --> 1:21:32.280 up and being willing to exchange ideas of people on 1:21:32.600 --> 1:21:38.360 his socialism. He talked about Medicare for all, for example, 1:21:38.439 --> 1:21:42.280 and here is what the Progressive Democrat candidate for I 1:21:42.320 --> 1:21:45.240 don't know which district in California says about Medicare for 1:21:45.320 --> 1:21:49.040 all play fourteen. First of all, Medicare for all polls excellent. 1:21:49.320 --> 1:21:51.799 Second of all, when you guys say you'd lose your insurance, 1:21:51.840 --> 1:21:55.839 that is terribly wrong. You have insurance. Even Michael Bennett, 1:21:55.840 --> 1:21:59.280 who doesn't like purce, okay, but you have better insurance. 1:21:59.360 --> 1:22:02.280 Chris you mad, No, no, not maybe, definitely, I asked 1:22:02.280 --> 1:22:04.639 Michael BENNI Santo Michael Bennet, who does not like Medicare 1:22:04.680 --> 1:22:06.960 for All. He said, it's the Medicare for all would 1:22:06.960 --> 1:22:09.960 be the Cadillac plan. He said, yes, you get everything 1:22:10.200 --> 1:22:13.519 with Medicare for All, you get better insurance. There's no 1:22:13.720 --> 1:22:22.880 question about that. Jenk doesn't understand how markets or economies work. Apparently, 1:22:24.240 --> 1:22:27.880 what he's referring to here is the promise, the absurd 1:22:28.040 --> 1:22:32.160 promise by the way of Medicare for all. And I 1:22:32.280 --> 1:22:34.040 think this is the Bernie Santa's version. It might be 1:22:34.080 --> 1:22:37.560 the war in version. But you know, Potato Potato that 1:22:37.760 --> 1:22:40.479 says that everything, vision, dental, you know, everything would be 1:22:40.640 --> 1:22:43.320 under this medicare. It would, in fact be much more 1:22:43.439 --> 1:22:46.519 than Medicare. Now, keeping my medicare is the one thing 1:22:46.640 --> 1:22:51.240 that threatens to collapse our entire economy as our debt 1:22:51.320 --> 1:22:54.840 continues to spiral out of control. But we're told, let's 1:22:54.880 --> 1:22:57.719 make that a lot, a lot bigger, a lot bigger. 1:22:59.040 --> 1:23:03.760 Here's the problem with having everybody on the same plan. 1:23:05.479 --> 1:23:07.560 You want, I'll give you a perfect sample. Actually, I 1:23:07.600 --> 1:23:10.519 tried to make an appointment with a specialist in New 1:23:10.600 --> 1:23:12.920 York City earlier in the week. Right, God, I just 1:23:13.720 --> 1:23:18.000 tend to some some buck health issue and I was 1:23:18.040 --> 1:23:22.240 told the weight was two months. I have insurance, by 1:23:22.280 --> 1:23:26.679 the way, and this is a doctor that doesn't take insurance, 1:23:26.760 --> 1:23:28.479 but you can of course submit afterwards and all the 1:23:28.520 --> 1:23:30.760 rest of it. Two month wait, and that's a that's 1:23:30.760 --> 1:23:33.160 a doctor who's not even an insurance mark. Just wait 1:23:33.280 --> 1:23:37.000 until you're under your plan. Everybody else in the whole 1:23:37.040 --> 1:23:39.559 country is supposed to be effectively on the same plan. 1:23:39.760 --> 1:23:40.920 Do you think you're gonna be able to see the 1:23:40.960 --> 1:23:43.320 doctor you want to see now? Of course not. How 1:23:43.439 --> 1:23:47.600 do you determine who gets to see what doctor? And 1:23:47.680 --> 1:23:50.080 when everyone's paying the same, everyone's network is the same, 1:23:50.120 --> 1:23:52.599 every doctor is the same. This is, by the way, 1:23:52.600 --> 1:23:54.960 this is I mean, this is like full on socialist medicine. 1:23:54.960 --> 1:23:59.880 We're talking about here, determining everything other than the training 1:24:00.120 --> 1:24:02.920 of doctors and the provision of But that'll have to 1:24:03.120 --> 1:24:05.400 they'll have to add that into this because what happens 1:24:05.560 --> 1:24:09.040 is that there are no market signals to determine whether 1:24:09.360 --> 1:24:13.520 or not somebody can see a doctor in a certain timeframe. 1:24:16.800 --> 1:24:20.240 There are no market signals to make that designation, that determination. 1:24:20.360 --> 1:24:24.519 So what does the state does so sure that they'll 1:24:24.600 --> 1:24:28.799 pay for your doctor visit? Just like they will in Canada, 1:24:28.960 --> 1:24:32.000 just like they will in the UK, and you'll wait 1:24:32.120 --> 1:24:35.760 six to nine months for it, maybe a year. You know, 1:24:35.800 --> 1:24:37.439 it happens most of the time. People find out what 1:24:37.479 --> 1:24:38.920 the weight is and they go see a different doctor, 1:24:38.920 --> 1:24:42.479 a doctor they don't particularly want to see. The practitioner matters. 1:24:43.520 --> 1:24:45.400 You know, this is these are goods and services. People 1:24:45.400 --> 1:24:49.080 are making decisions and determinations. The entire system gets better 1:24:49.200 --> 1:24:52.200 when good doctors are rewarded, when good doctors can charge more. Also, 1:24:52.280 --> 1:24:54.360 smarter and better people in the future will want to 1:24:54.400 --> 1:24:57.120 go into medicine because they know they can be rewarded 1:24:57.160 --> 1:24:59.680 for this. The incentive structure in the medical system is 1:25:00.080 --> 1:25:04.080 wiped out in Medicare for All. Everyone's paid the same, 1:25:04.120 --> 1:25:07.639 everyone gets the same. Do you want Do you want 1:25:07.680 --> 1:25:10.000 that to be the case? No? I want to live 1:25:10.000 --> 1:25:11.519 in a country where I can choose the doctor that 1:25:11.600 --> 1:25:14.360 I see and see him in a reasonable or her 1:25:14.479 --> 1:25:19.120 in a reasonable timeframe. The only way that these systems 1:25:19.200 --> 1:25:22.400 that do even less than Medicare for All, the only 1:25:22.439 --> 1:25:27.559 way they provide care is through rationing and waits. They 1:25:27.680 --> 1:25:30.720 tell you how much you can get, they tell you 1:25:30.760 --> 1:25:32.280 when you can get it. By the way, what also 1:25:32.360 --> 1:25:36.680 will be included in this new people are if you 1:25:36.720 --> 1:25:42.120 want to go see a shrink, a psychologist, psychiatrist, do 1:25:42.240 --> 1:25:45.880 you get to go every day? Very very expensive? Who's 1:25:45.880 --> 1:25:49.760 going to pay for this? How much is determined? At 1:25:49.840 --> 1:25:52.960 some point the reality sets in where you can't just 1:25:53.120 --> 1:25:55.200 have people getting whatever they want, because if people get 1:25:55.240 --> 1:25:57.040 whatever they want, there won't be enough for people to 1:25:57.120 --> 1:26:03.439 get Without a mark in place to incentivize better, more efficient, 1:26:03.560 --> 1:26:08.360 faster care and to bring more people into the medical 1:26:08.439 --> 1:26:11.360 system so that there is more there are more goods 1:26:11.400 --> 1:26:14.400 and services to be distributed. This whole thing falls apart. 1:26:15.000 --> 1:26:17.080 It's going to be better than your current insurance plan. 1:26:17.520 --> 1:26:24.720 Good luck with that, the Cadillac of plan. This is 1:26:24.760 --> 1:26:27.639 the folks. This is snake oil that you are being sold. 1:26:28.439 --> 1:26:32.360 It is a lie. It is a fiction. Unless they're 1:26:32.360 --> 1:26:35.880 willing to say middle class taxes will go up dramatically, 1:26:36.000 --> 1:26:38.599 which they will have to just to make the math work, 1:26:39.080 --> 1:26:41.840 and unless they are willing to say that yes, you 1:26:42.000 --> 1:26:44.320 will see the doctor that the government says you are 1:26:44.320 --> 1:26:47.280 allowed to see in the time frame that government determines 1:26:47.920 --> 1:26:51.240 they are lying to you. They can point to any 1:26:51.320 --> 1:26:56.000 other major state operated medical system in the developed world 1:26:56.360 --> 1:26:59.040 and those are the realities that we are dealing with. 1:27:01.120 --> 1:27:03.920 That's it. So just yeah, medicare for all you. Someone's 1:27:03.920 --> 1:27:07.480 gonna pay for all your healthcare. This is state intrusion 1:27:07.840 --> 1:27:12.360 into one fifth, one sixth roughly of the economy in 1:27:12.479 --> 1:27:14.240 a way that will then lead to you, by the way, 1:27:14.360 --> 1:27:18.400 further socialized industries and sectors of our economy. This does 1:27:18.479 --> 1:27:24.040 not get better. This only gets worse. Oh, breaking news, 1:27:25.840 --> 1:27:28.519 breaking news. You know how in the last hour of 1:27:28.560 --> 1:27:31.719 the show, I said, you know, when is Kamala gonna 1:27:31.720 --> 1:27:33.320 call it quits? I think I said that dedn'ty her. 1:27:33.360 --> 1:27:35.320 I was at least making fun of her terrible campaign. 1:27:36.479 --> 1:27:40.720 Kamala Harris is out. It's just happened. She's out, no 1:27:40.800 --> 1:27:43.360 longer running for president. I think Bloomberg showing up and 1:27:44.880 --> 1:27:47.880 being ahead of her right away in the polls, I 1:27:48.000 --> 1:27:50.840 think that was a little bit more than even her 1:27:50.920 --> 1:27:54.600 campaign could could manage to deal with. Now that I 1:27:54.720 --> 1:27:58.360 think she's pulling about I don't know, four or five 1:27:58.479 --> 1:28:00.719 percent in some of the polls I've scene. That sounds 1:28:00.720 --> 1:28:03.680 about right, So I wonder where those votes will go, 1:28:04.920 --> 1:28:09.680 probably to Biden, but maybe not. I do think the 1:28:09.760 --> 1:28:13.800 pressure is going to really mount for here's the way 1:28:13.840 --> 1:28:18.400 that they do it. Elizabeth Warren says that, you know, well, 1:28:18.960 --> 1:28:22.240 the realistic way would be for Bernie Sanders to offer 1:28:22.280 --> 1:28:24.360 Elizabeth Warren the VP slot and then create like a 1:28:24.479 --> 1:28:28.280 socialist dynasty going forward. But I don't know if I 1:28:28.400 --> 1:28:32.680 wisham With Warren's willing to accept that, so it is 1:28:32.920 --> 1:28:36.560 it is worth a well, well, we'll see how this 1:28:36.680 --> 1:28:39.000 how this plays out. Kamala Harris is out there everybody 1:28:39.840 --> 1:28:45.959 a campaign that the media wanted to work so badly, 1:28:47.000 --> 1:28:50.640 and there was always a media superficiality behind a lot 1:28:50.680 --> 1:28:52.439 of that. You know, they just thought that kamalas should 1:28:52.479 --> 1:28:56.479 be because they thought, yeah, Kamala should it should work 1:28:56.560 --> 1:28:59.840 for Kamala. And the reality is that she's not a 1:29:00.000 --> 1:29:04.519 particularly talented politician, not somebody who was ready for this, 1:29:04.880 --> 1:29:07.880 not somebody who was big league enough. And also I 1:29:08.000 --> 1:29:11.560 think Tulsi Gabberd was kind of the Kamala spoiler a 1:29:11.640 --> 1:29:15.000 little bit. I think Tulsie Gabbert got in there and 1:29:15.640 --> 1:29:18.719 made it really hard for Kamala to get any momentum. 1:29:19.360 --> 1:29:22.400 You know, even with the media all pushing behind or 1:29:22.439 --> 1:29:27.439 all the media efforts to do everything that they could do. 1:29:29.120 --> 1:29:33.479 It was not enough, it was insufficient. So Kamala Harris 1:29:33.640 --> 1:29:37.360 is out, as though, as though the Almighty heard from 1:29:37.439 --> 1:29:40.800 Buck's lips to God's ears that Kamala Harris was not 1:29:41.160 --> 1:29:45.519 gonna win the presidency. So today's the day that the 1:29:45.600 --> 1:29:50.840 Kamala Harris campaign calls it. Quins, don't cry too much, team. 1:29:51.160 --> 1:29:54.519 It's that time of year, my friends. People are now 1:29:55.920 --> 1:29:59.440 allowed to play their Christmas music because it's post Thanksgiving, 1:30:00.080 --> 1:30:03.120 and we know only Barbarians play Christmas music before Thanksgiving, 1:30:03.840 --> 1:30:07.479 but now they're allowed. So, you know, I was telling 1:30:07.520 --> 1:30:09.439 you I was in a taxi yesterday and the guy 1:30:09.600 --> 1:30:13.519 was blasting some Christmas music and I felt like such 1:30:13.560 --> 1:30:16.240 a grinch because I was like, really, I'm sitting in 1:30:16.320 --> 1:30:19.519 traffic with just this. You know, I don't know. I 1:30:20.200 --> 1:30:23.000 like Christmas music in limited doses, and I like it 1:30:23.360 --> 1:30:25.800 basically the week of Christmas. But then I'm not that. 1:30:26.479 --> 1:30:28.040 I don't know. What do you like? Do you like 1:30:28.160 --> 1:30:32.080 hanaka tuns? I think we discussed with Markers maybe two 1:30:32.120 --> 1:30:35.040 three three, that's right if you count Adam Sandler maybe, 1:30:35.240 --> 1:30:37.840 But so as a as a as a non Christian, 1:30:37.920 --> 1:30:39.760 what can you think of Christmas music? Just as a 1:30:40.600 --> 1:30:43.280 as a genre. It's a genre. There are some good 1:30:43.320 --> 1:30:46.920 ones that are just good musical songs, although my favorite 1:30:46.960 --> 1:30:49.360 is probably Alvin and Chipmunks. So I don't know what 1:30:49.479 --> 1:30:51.960 it says about me. There we go. So it's also 1:30:52.000 --> 1:30:55.280 the time of year you gotta think about getting people presents. Now. 1:30:55.360 --> 1:30:57.559 I don't know how many familiar with this, but there 1:30:57.680 --> 1:31:01.320 is a very fancy stationary bike company out there called 1:31:01.720 --> 1:31:05.400 Peloton or Pelton. I think it's actually just Peloton, but 1:31:05.439 --> 1:31:07.519 I'd like to do it the French wakes. It sounds fancier. 1:31:08.280 --> 1:31:11.599 Peloton released an ad just in time people to get 1:31:11.640 --> 1:31:13.880 I think these bikes are I know there are many 1:31:14.000 --> 1:31:16.560 thousands of dollars. I think they run somewhere in the 1:31:16.760 --> 1:31:20.679 like ten to fifteen thousand dollars range. Very expensive, okay, 1:31:21.360 --> 1:31:24.280 but you know when you could also just buy a 1:31:24.479 --> 1:31:27.240 bicycle or an old I don't know, or an old 1:31:27.320 --> 1:31:30.400 school stationary bike. I remember my grandfather have one at 1:31:30.439 --> 1:31:32.280 his house here in New York, and the thing was 1:31:32.320 --> 1:31:35.120 from the fifties, and you know, get on there and pedal, yeah, 1:31:35.320 --> 1:31:39.439 go and pedal your heart's content. But now Peloton is 1:31:40.160 --> 1:31:42.400 a very fancy bike and they put out this commercial 1:31:43.280 --> 1:31:48.760 that has gotten people totally outraged. I think I need 1:31:48.800 --> 1:31:51.840 to describe a little bit. So you're going to hear 1:31:51.920 --> 1:31:54.479 a female voice. And this female that is starting this 1:31:54.600 --> 1:32:01.599 commercial is esthetically perfect. She is beautiful, she is slender, 1:32:02.080 --> 1:32:05.880 she's clearly a model. And this is the commercial in 1:32:06.000 --> 1:32:08.439 this incredible house. But this woman looks like she's probably about, 1:32:08.439 --> 1:32:10.360 you know, twenty seven years old. I love all the 1:32:10.400 --> 1:32:12.360 ads where they got people in their twenties living in like, 1:32:12.520 --> 1:32:14.719 you know, million dollar homes, because you know who doesn't. 1:32:14.920 --> 1:32:16.360 People are to seeing where I live. When I was 1:32:16.479 --> 1:32:18.439 like twenty eight years old, I had like three roommates 1:32:18.560 --> 1:32:20.799 living in the basement of some place in the village. Anyway, 1:32:21.120 --> 1:32:27.680 play play Peloton, now Peloton. Give it up for a 1:32:27.760 --> 1:32:31.080 first time ride, first ride. I'm ulrvous, but I'm excited. 1:32:31.520 --> 1:32:34.839 Let's do this five days in a row. Be surprised. 1:32:35.280 --> 1:32:40.439 I am rising with the sun. I was totally worth 1:32:40.479 --> 1:32:46.240 it a year ago. I didn't realize how much this 1:32:46.400 --> 1:32:51.600 exchanged me. Thank you this holiday, give the gift of 1:32:51.720 --> 1:32:57.439 pel So there is this People have flipped out about 1:32:57.479 --> 1:33:00.960 this because you have this esthetically you know, physical, perfect, 1:33:01.200 --> 1:33:04.720 idealized woman who's like I'm so nervous to ride a 1:33:05.640 --> 1:33:08.000 stationary bike and the privacy of your own home. I mean, 1:33:08.040 --> 1:33:10.160 that's okay, I guess, but it seems to trust me, 1:33:10.240 --> 1:33:13.760 this woman is red. She's worked out plenty in her day. 1:33:13.840 --> 1:33:16.680 This is not her first her first time, and then 1:33:17.320 --> 1:33:19.800 I don't know how much it would change me. Now 1:33:20.080 --> 1:33:23.360 what changed? Right? People are being a brand and are talking. 1:33:23.479 --> 1:33:26.360 People are being a little sensitive about this. It is 1:33:26.479 --> 1:33:29.960 the case, and I have seen this in action once 1:33:30.040 --> 1:33:32.639 or twice in my life. It is the case where, 1:33:33.080 --> 1:33:37.920 especially as a male, if you give any kind of 1:33:38.200 --> 1:33:42.719 fitness related equipment as a Christmas gift to a female 1:33:42.800 --> 1:33:46.840 in your life, producer bread and this could backfire dramatically. 1:33:46.960 --> 1:33:49.880 You probably would be hit with that piece of equipment. Yeah, 1:33:49.880 --> 1:33:52.479 they do. They do not. It's not a thing that 1:33:52.600 --> 1:33:57.680 they get excited about. No, it's offensive unless she's offensive. 1:33:58.360 --> 1:34:00.679 I mean, if somebody said, buck, I want I'm gonna 1:34:00.720 --> 1:34:03.200 give you a for Christ's use, I'm gonna give you 1:34:03.280 --> 1:34:05.400 like a dozen sessions on a personal trainer, I'd say 1:34:05.400 --> 1:34:08.960 it's fantastic, I need it. I guess it's it's different 1:34:08.960 --> 1:34:13.439 if you know the person perhaps and maybe she's seen 1:34:13.520 --> 1:34:15.960 the other other commercial for Peloton, and she's, oh, I 1:34:16.040 --> 1:34:17.920 want this, I want this, and the husband gets it 1:34:18.040 --> 1:34:22.360 far right if she's been explicit backward okay, commercial, but 1:34:23.000 --> 1:34:26.280 it kind of reminds me of what at the wedding 1:34:26.479 --> 1:34:29.559 in the office with where Jim and Pam are having 1:34:29.640 --> 1:34:32.519 their like, you know, the rehearsal dinner. Yeah, and then 1:34:32.800 --> 1:34:35.080 the Jim's two brothers stand up and they yell out 1:34:35.080 --> 1:34:37.799 to their wives. You know, Pam's looking good, how about you, ladies? 1:34:38.280 --> 1:34:43.719 Tom for a little mo cardio, which is it would 1:34:43.800 --> 1:34:47.000 not go over well. I would not recommend anyone say 1:34:47.040 --> 1:34:50.160 that to their wife or anybody for that matter. That 1:34:50.200 --> 1:34:53.080 would not go over well. But this, this Peloton commercial 1:34:53.160 --> 1:34:58.559 got a lot of people, um really agitated, I would say, 1:34:58.800 --> 1:35:00.840 Edie after if you watch it, it makes even more 1:35:00.920 --> 1:35:04.000 sense because you're like this idealized existence. She's like, oh gosh, 1:35:04.120 --> 1:35:07.280 like my Peloton bike has changed me so much. She 1:35:07.439 --> 1:35:10.599 looks like she went from about one hundred and seven 1:35:10.720 --> 1:35:14.959 pounds to a hundred and seven pounds right in this commercial. 1:35:15.120 --> 1:35:19.000 And what was she filming for the arrogance bothered me too. 1:35:19.040 --> 1:35:20.920 As soon as she walks in the door, she's shooting 1:35:20.960 --> 1:35:23.360 a selfie of her talking about going in the bike. 1:35:23.400 --> 1:35:25.000 As soon as she wakes up, the cameras right in 1:35:25.040 --> 1:35:28.120 her face there there. I will tell you I live 1:35:28.200 --> 1:35:30.040 in a building here in New York where they have 1:35:30.120 --> 1:35:33.519 a gym in the building, and they are in fact, 1:35:34.120 --> 1:35:38.400 they do, in fact have a peloton in there. So 1:35:38.479 --> 1:35:41.000 I might have to try this now, just so I 1:35:41.120 --> 1:35:44.880 can give you from the front lines of Pelton. I 1:35:45.000 --> 1:35:47.200 can give you my assessment as to whether or not 1:35:47.320 --> 1:35:49.559 this is life changing. And I can use a lot 1:35:49.560 --> 1:35:51.000 of I mean, I should spend an hour of Dana 1:35:51.040 --> 1:35:53.439 Pelton bike. I gotta work out more. It's because there's 1:35:53.439 --> 1:35:55.240 a video that you can do it with other people 1:35:55.240 --> 1:35:57.240 around the world. Is that what makes it so expensive? 1:35:57.439 --> 1:35:59.880 You can watch? Yeah, I think so. Okay, the class 1:36:00.000 --> 1:36:02.519 they have like a video and they video it tracks 1:36:02.600 --> 1:36:05.120 you and it's all metrics, c and things like that. 1:36:05.240 --> 1:36:07.320 I don't know, that's just kind of a this is 1:36:07.400 --> 1:36:09.960 what the people say. But see, I take the position 1:36:11.120 --> 1:36:13.439 and this is and I know that people will say, oh, black, 1:36:13.520 --> 1:36:15.519 that's terrible. And by the way, anything that we advertise 1:36:15.640 --> 1:36:17.760 on this show as a gift you should definitely get 1:36:18.000 --> 1:36:22.000 because they're amazing. But in my family, among the adults. 1:36:22.160 --> 1:36:24.880 You know, I still I give gifts to people that 1:36:25.080 --> 1:36:27.960 you know, do work for me, do people that you 1:36:28.040 --> 1:36:30.439 know are in my life. That especially if people really, 1:36:30.880 --> 1:36:33.000 you know, in New York you're superintendent of the building, 1:36:33.000 --> 1:36:34.840 because everyone here, you know, lives in buildings where there 1:36:34.880 --> 1:36:38.040 tend to be a staff that takes care of the building. Um, 1:36:39.040 --> 1:36:41.240 you know, you give those people a gift for Christmas 1:36:41.320 --> 1:36:44.320 cash Usually I do all that, for sure, But among 1:36:44.400 --> 1:36:46.560 family members, I just think that there's especially because I 1:36:46.600 --> 1:36:48.800 come from one. I'm one of four kids and my 1:36:48.880 --> 1:36:51.840 two parents or six of us. It's just such a hassle. 1:36:51.880 --> 1:36:54.760 Ever got I gotta get at least five presents, and 1:36:54.920 --> 1:36:57.880 if I if I, you know, have a significant other, 1:37:01.040 --> 1:37:03.080 as has been the case in the past, if I 1:37:03.160 --> 1:37:05.559 have a significant other, I gotta get that person a gift, 1:37:05.720 --> 1:37:08.240 and that one has to be expensive. Of course. It's 1:37:08.240 --> 1:37:10.479 all such a hassle. Why can't we all just be 1:37:10.600 --> 1:37:12.920 together and celebrate the holiday for what it's really about. 1:37:13.640 --> 1:37:17.240 I agree, the birth of Jesus, not commercialism, thank you 1:37:17.400 --> 1:37:19.800 very much. So, you know, I just think that that's 1:37:19.840 --> 1:37:21.760 where we should be as a society. I call it 1:37:21.880 --> 1:37:24.360 going grinch. Do it with a smile. It's the way 1:37:24.400 --> 1:37:28.240 to go. And with that roll call, time rock and roll. 1:37:28.400 --> 1:37:39.880 Fellow patriots, we made ours go up to an eleven. 1:37:51.800 --> 1:37:56.439 It's time for roll call. It is time for roll call. 1:37:56.840 --> 1:38:01.400 Let's get into the Facebook posts here and we get 1:38:01.439 --> 1:38:07.760 to it. John Shieldsa, a real News fan. Pokahon has 1:38:07.800 --> 1:38:12.400 said a democracy should work by popular vote, and to 1:38:12.520 --> 1:38:16.000 call her old fashioned for thinking that way, maybe I'm 1:38:16.000 --> 1:38:18.599 a little rusty on my history, but I don't recall 1:38:18.640 --> 1:38:20.920 America ever being a democracy where elections were voted by 1:38:21.240 --> 1:38:24.680 We're decided by popular vote. Well, John, it's even more 1:38:24.760 --> 1:38:26.920 interesting than that in some ways, because if you go 1:38:27.120 --> 1:38:30.599 back to the origins of the concept of democracy, which 1:38:30.640 --> 1:38:33.479 we tend to find, as tend to think is ancient Greece. 1:38:34.360 --> 1:38:39.920 In ancient Greece, only a very small number of the 1:38:40.040 --> 1:38:46.280 actual people living in the polis, in the city, in 1:38:46.360 --> 1:38:49.080 the city state, we're able to vote. It's not like 1:38:49.240 --> 1:38:53.640 in ancient Athens they walked around and every adult was 1:38:53.880 --> 1:38:56.719 given the right to make a determination. It was actually 1:38:56.760 --> 1:39:00.360 a very very small group of citizens, citizens who were ablished, 1:39:00.400 --> 1:39:05.720 who were landholders, who had some degree of sway in affairs, 1:39:07.040 --> 1:39:10.439 and it was definitely not women and it was not slaves. 1:39:11.000 --> 1:39:15.720 There were slaves in ancient Greece, lots of them. And yeah, 1:39:15.880 --> 1:39:18.360 there there was a small percentage overall the population that 1:39:18.400 --> 1:39:20.680 would have been able to vote. So it's interesting that 1:39:22.040 --> 1:39:25.600 we now think of democracy as every person who is 1:39:25.600 --> 1:39:27.840 an adult gets to vote. But that's really a more 1:39:27.920 --> 1:39:30.640 modern innovation. It was not the case before. So you know, 1:39:30.720 --> 1:39:34.959 women suffrage did not become a thing until pretty recently. 1:39:35.920 --> 1:39:41.680 Brian Buck, I enjoy your analysis and your ability to articulate. 1:39:42.400 --> 1:39:44.639 I think you may be off on a couple of predictions, though. 1:39:44.960 --> 1:39:49.120 Oh first, I don't think they're going to vote to 1:39:49.160 --> 1:39:50.960 impeach for the simple fact that they don't want to 1:39:51.080 --> 1:39:55.040 risk Trump getting a fair trial if they did. I'd 1:39:55.120 --> 1:39:57.920 almost want Republicans to go along with it so this 1:39:58.040 --> 1:40:00.559 mess can be handled properly and watch democrat at scramble 1:40:00.560 --> 1:40:02.479 as all their dirty laundry goes on display. But with 1:40:02.560 --> 1:40:06.080 the ads your report coming out, it may not be necessary. Second, 1:40:06.280 --> 1:40:09.880 I do believe Trump will go scorch earth on Democrats 1:40:09.960 --> 1:40:13.280 after the report comes out. He has said repeatedly that 1:40:13.400 --> 1:40:15.679 this should never be allowed to happen to another president, 1:40:16.000 --> 1:40:17.560 and one way to ensure that it doesn't is to 1:40:17.600 --> 1:40:21.840 hold people accountable and an exact harsh consequences. Trump is 1:40:21.880 --> 1:40:23.799 a one to bluff. This would be a very interesting 1:40:23.880 --> 1:40:26.920 election year for shore Shields High. Well, Brian will get 1:40:26.920 --> 1:40:30.439 to see who's right on these predictions. I'll probably have 1:40:30.600 --> 1:40:34.760 to revisit them and we'll see who's correct. I'm telling 1:40:34.800 --> 1:40:36.840 you they're going to impeach him, but you're saying no, 1:40:38.040 --> 1:40:43.599 I'm saying yes. And then on to Trump going scorch 1:40:43.640 --> 1:40:46.200 shirt on Democrats after the report comes out. I don't 1:40:46.240 --> 1:40:49.200 see how that would happen. What's he gonna do. He's 1:40:49.240 --> 1:40:53.000 gonna fire civil service employees even after there's been an 1:40:53.000 --> 1:40:56.200 inspector General report that does not recommend their firing. I 1:40:56.439 --> 1:40:59.920 don't know, Brian, what that accountability would even look like 1:41:00.120 --> 1:41:02.000 if Trump wanted to do it. Now, that's it. I 1:41:02.280 --> 1:41:07.160 could be wrong. It has It has happened before, seldom, 1:41:07.640 --> 1:41:10.880 but it has happened. So that is a possibility that 1:41:10.960 --> 1:41:13.599 we should be aware of. Um, we'll have to take 1:41:13.640 --> 1:41:16.519 a look at it. We're looking at that, as Trump 1:41:16.600 --> 1:41:18.760 likes us say, we're looking at that. He says that 1:41:18.800 --> 1:41:24.880 about a lot of things. M Adam buck Pot roast 1:41:24.960 --> 1:41:28.519 if done correctly is amazing. Cook it low and slow, 1:41:28.760 --> 1:41:33.920 tenderness is key shields high. Well, Adam, thank you so 1:41:34.200 --> 1:41:39.960 much man for something that I appreciate it. And uh yeah, man, 1:41:40.120 --> 1:41:43.360 I will have to check out some pot roast and 1:41:44.200 --> 1:41:49.679 next thing we got, Paul Buck, you know what strikes 1:41:49.720 --> 1:41:53.280 me as hilarious about this whole get Trump era. If 1:41:53.320 --> 1:41:56.440 they'd stuck with their very first original premise for investigation, 1:41:56.520 --> 1:41:59.840 they probably could have nailed him. Avon Forgets. The earliest 1:42:00.000 --> 1:42:04.160 instigations of him were for ties to organize crime. I 1:42:04.200 --> 1:42:08.479 guess they thought Russian collusion tested. Better keep it up, 1:42:08.680 --> 1:42:10.920 She'll tie, all right, Paul, I mean I don't. I 1:42:10.960 --> 1:42:12.759 don't think that they're going to get Trump on anything, 1:42:12.840 --> 1:42:19.519 but I do appreciate the outside the box thinking, let's 1:42:19.520 --> 1:42:22.200 see where we got here I wanted I wanted to 1:42:22.200 --> 1:42:24.240 get into. I tend to go to the Facebook because 1:42:24.240 --> 1:42:26.200 it's it's easy, but I also want to look at 1:42:26.280 --> 1:42:28.640 what we got in the Team Buck. Team Buck at 1:42:28.720 --> 1:42:34.880 iHeartMedia dot com. That's the email address you want to 1:42:34.880 --> 1:42:37.439 send things to us? There, Ken writes the Buck don't stop. 1:42:38.240 --> 1:42:40.320 Can I contribute a nightly feature to the show A 1:42:40.439 --> 1:42:43.920 Thousand Things? We all should know. Try these out amongst 1:42:44.000 --> 1:42:47.320 your staff and see how they like it. Yawning is 1:42:47.360 --> 1:42:53.639 caused by a warm brain. Only one America. Wait what? Okay, 1:42:53.720 --> 1:42:58.920 thank you? Ken? Whatever? We got another Ken, a different Ken. 1:43:03.080 --> 1:43:05.960 Let's see Friday, the President declared the Cartels is terror groups. 1:43:05.960 --> 1:43:08.280 I suspect that Trump has ordered a kind of Cicario 1:43:08.439 --> 1:43:13.240 Cia action with your contacts. You should suss it out, Okay, Ken, Yeah, 1:43:13.280 --> 1:43:16.800 I'll take a look. I'll take a look. Let's see 1:43:16.840 --> 1:43:24.640 what we'd get here. Here you go, we get next up, 1:43:24.760 --> 1:43:28.320 somebody talking about how the audio is wrong. I don't 1:43:28.400 --> 1:43:30.719 understand what we're doing differently or wrong with the audio. 1:43:30.800 --> 1:43:34.280 I don't know. I don't know. That's got to be 1:43:34.400 --> 1:43:38.439 somebody else's to look into that, Harry, right Buck. You 1:43:38.520 --> 1:43:42.599 might want to check out the third season, fifth episode 1:43:42.640 --> 1:43:46.280 of The Crown, entitled Coup. It concerns the attempt by 1:43:46.320 --> 1:43:50.280 Conservative persons to recruit Lord mount Batten to replace Harold 1:43:50.320 --> 1:43:53.280 Wilson's Socialist government after the massive devaluation of the pound 1:43:53.400 --> 1:43:56.760 and further deterioration in the British economy in nineteen sixty seven. 1:43:56.800 --> 1:43:59.559 I think that's the correct year. Yes, it is slow, 1:44:00.000 --> 1:44:04.559 but an interesting take on conservative socialist politics of the time. 1:44:07.720 --> 1:44:09.240 By the way, I think it's hilarious. No one gets 1:44:09.280 --> 1:44:12.280 that America is nearly as socialist under under FDR as 1:44:12.320 --> 1:44:16.920 the USSR during World War Two. Shields, Hi, Harry, Yeah, man, 1:44:16.960 --> 1:44:19.440 there's a lot more socialism out there than people realize. 1:44:20.000 --> 1:44:26.599 That is true. Mark from New Zealand, Team Buck, New 1:44:26.680 --> 1:44:31.200 Zealand in the house, Hey, Buck Shields. I from New Zealand, 1:44:31.200 --> 1:44:33.120 but a followers. Since our government started contributing tens of 1:44:33.120 --> 1:44:35.920 millions of dollars in our taxes to Shillery and the Dems, 1:44:36.600 --> 1:44:39.639 is nobody's safe from the progressives fight for the First 1:44:39.680 --> 1:44:41.800 and Second Amendment rights We got told regularly we have 1:44:41.960 --> 1:44:44.519 no rights, just the privilege the government allows us. Shields High, 1:44:45.040 --> 1:44:53.840 my friend Kiwee, Mark from New Zealand. Kyle, Right, dear Buck, 1:44:54.600 --> 1:44:56.679 don't be too eager to settle down and get married. 1:44:56.760 --> 1:44:59.040 You will turn into one of two versions of your 1:44:59.080 --> 1:45:06.559 former self, Buckless Sexton or Buck sexless. That's pretty good. 1:45:07.640 --> 1:45:10.639 That's pretty good, Kyle. I don't know. Kyle might get 1:45:10.680 --> 1:45:13.240 to might get an email of the day with that one. 1:45:13.520 --> 1:45:15.120 I cannot. I don't know. I can either confirm her 1:45:15.120 --> 1:45:16.920 to kN because I've never been married. There's something that 1:45:17.040 --> 1:45:18.920 someone where on the internet says that I'm married. I've 1:45:18.920 --> 1:45:20.560 never been married. I don't know why this keeps. This 1:45:20.680 --> 1:45:22.519 comes up sometimes I've never been married. I don't I've 1:45:22.560 --> 1:45:29.200 never been engaged. I never been married. Hoping one day, hoping. Um, 1:45:30.040 --> 1:45:38.639 let's see we get here. Um we have Rocky right 1:45:38.680 --> 1:45:41.920 to have a happy Thanksgiving buck Rocky from Nebraska, Rocky 1:45:42.000 --> 1:45:47.720 from Nebraska, shieldside, big hug, Happy Thanksgiving to you too. Um. 1:45:48.520 --> 1:45:51.759 We get more people writing about unequal audio levels. Producer Brandon, 1:45:51.800 --> 1:45:54.840 what is this people? We got a lot of We 1:45:54.920 --> 1:45:57.479 got like ten emails about unequal audio levels. What is 1:45:57.520 --> 1:45:59.400 going on here? Yead? I can't tell you because when 1:45:59.400 --> 1:46:02.000 I put her in and where Mike Marko puts it in, 1:46:02.200 --> 1:46:07.080 it's all level. So we might have to ask an engineer. 1:46:07.120 --> 1:46:08.600 I need to get you like a special gift so 1:46:08.640 --> 1:46:10.400 that you'll actually make the audio good for the audience, 1:46:10.439 --> 1:46:12.640 so that I make this anymore perfect, just like that 1:46:12.880 --> 1:46:16.600 woman from the bike commercial. Yeah, I mean you know, 1:46:17.000 --> 1:46:19.280 I'm sure there's something we could bribe producer Brandon w 1:46:19.439 --> 1:46:20.920 so that he actually makes sure the audio is good. 1:46:20.960 --> 1:46:22.519 I don't have the bribe Producer Mark too, because when 1:46:22.560 --> 1:46:24.560 he comes back from the beach. Oh you've notice, have 1:46:24.640 --> 1:46:26.800 you gotten any selfies of him on the beach? I 1:46:26.920 --> 1:46:30.120 have not, so you know, I don't think Producer Mark 1:46:30.200 --> 1:46:32.040 is thinking about the freedom hunt enough right now. He's 1:46:32.080 --> 1:46:35.799 just oh, look at me. I'm you know, drinking pina 1:46:35.880 --> 1:46:39.200 coladas and getting sun and enjoying my life. There's freedom 1:46:39.280 --> 1:46:43.680 to spread, darn it. That's right. It's very important for 1:46:43.720 --> 1:46:46.120 him to remember that. Also important for you remember your 1:46:46.320 --> 1:46:50.960 orders until next time. Shield's Eye. Black Rifle Coffee is 1:46:50.960 --> 1:46:54.240 celebrating it's fifth year anniversary.
