1
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Three politicians and the

2
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: Democrat Party on the brink in Virginia, and things just

3
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: got a lot worse for one of them. A second

4
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: woman has come forward claiming she was raped by Democratic

5
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax years ago. We'll break down

6
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: what this means and also the aftermath of the Great

7
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: Green Leap forward. What does o'casio Cortes mean for the

8
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: Democrat Party going forward? That are more coming up on

9
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: the buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show

10
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really

11
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're a

12
00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: great American Again. The Buck Sexton Show begins. Analyst, remember

13
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: the n No, it's not a bill, it is a resolution.

14
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: And what this resolution is doing is saying this is

15
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: our first step. Our first step is to define the

16
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: problem and define the scope of the solution. And so

17
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: we're here to say that small incremental policy solutions are

18
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: not enough. They can be part of a solution, but

19
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: they are not the solution, unto itself. Welcome to the

20
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: Buck Saxton Show on this uh most excellent Friday. Thank

21
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: you so much. For being here. Team. Always a pleasure

22
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: to get a chance to chat with you. Ocasio Cortez

23
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: there with the it's not a memo, it's a mission statement.

24
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: Some of you will catch that reference. It's not a memo,

25
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: it's a mission statement. It's not a bill, it's a

26
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: mission statement. Okay, well, I guess there's I guess. I'm sorry.

27
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: It's not a bill, it's a resolution. Might as well

28
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: be a mission statement. Because a lot of people looked

29
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: at what happened yesterday. We'll talk more about this than

30
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: this hour with the Democrat Party and the most prominent senators,

31
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: the biggest contenders for the presidency, the Democrat side, all

32
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: throwing their hat in for this bill that is into

33
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: or rather resolution, excuse me, mission statement, that is irretrievably stupid.

34
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: I mean just aggressively stupid, nonsensical, like written like something

35
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: written by a bunch of you know, ninth grade model

36
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: un contestants from a really progressive school district of Palo

37
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: Alto or something. I mean, it's just no connection to

38
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: reality whatsoever. But people are trying to hold on to this.

39
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: People are hoping that this will mobilize them. Maybe they

40
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: realize that their Trump hatred is not actually enough to

41
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: win the election. And they also know that they're gonna

42
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: need a distraction ready to go for when the Mueller

43
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: probe ends with a whimper, which it is about to.

44
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: The Muller Probe is about to just wither, just collapse

45
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: into nothing. That's what I think is gonna happen. And

46
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: then it's gonna happen the next to watch this two weeks,

47
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: all right, give me two weeks, not next week, but

48
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: the week after. I think the Muller Probe is gonna

49
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: fall apart. In the meantime, you got Corey Booker trying

50
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: to convince people we need to go to war with

51
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: climate change. Play that clip. Our planet is in peril

52
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: and we need to be bold. It's one of the

53
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: reasons why I signed onto the resolution a co sponsor,

54
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: the resolution for the Green New Deal. And there's a

55
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: lot of people now that are blown back on the

56
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: Green New Deal. They're like, oh, it's in practical old,

57
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: it's too expensive. If we used to govern our dreams

58
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: that way, we would have never gone to the moon.

59
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: We need to be bold again in America. We need

60
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: to have dreams and other people say are impossible. We

61
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: need to push the bounds of human potential because that

62
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: is our history. And when the planet has been in

63
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: peril in the past, who came forward to save Earth

64
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: from the scourge of Nazi until Tata. Okay, there we go.

65
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: Climate change. Climate change is just like fighting the Nazis.

66
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: These people are They're engaged in accidental self parody all

67
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: the time. These Democrats make no sense. It's it's just lunacy.

68
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: But it's not just picking on Ocasio Cortez. It's all

69
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: of them right now. And I think it's because they

70
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: realize that the Trump hatred. They got to move away

71
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: from this man. It's just not enough. It's not enough.

72
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: They got to ramp something else up with these congressional

73
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: investigations because the Muller Probe is not going to give

74
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: them what they want. So this Green New Deal is

75
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: going to be a necessary distraction for the media while

76
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: they just kind of wind down the Special Council. That's

77
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: what I think is happening. We're gonna get more into

78
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: the Green New Deal stuff because it's gonna be fun

79
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 1: to Sara, but it's gonna note that there's a big

80
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: breaking news right as we came on air, A second

81
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: accuser against Justin Fairfax, Lieutenant Governor Virginia, a woman named

82
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: Meredith Watson's legal counsels come forward saying that that Fairfax

83
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: in the year two thousand, when they were both students

84
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: at Duke University, raped her. I know. Now we have

85
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: two women, two women on the record who knew him,

86
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: who were around him, neither of whom have anything to

87
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: gain from this. Remember that, think of the standards during

88
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: the Kavanaugh era. Do they not have a right to

89
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: be believed or do they at least not have a

90
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: right to be taken seriously by the left? Are they

91
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: both lying? Fairfax is going to resign by Monday. I

92
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: think given this new information, I don't. I don't see

93
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: how he is going to be able to continue, but

94
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. Democrat feel like they need to

95
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: just stay with this. Meanwhile, while that is happening, you

96
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: also have Northam who's trying to avoid resignation. I am

97
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: not making this up. This was on BuzzFeed today. Governor

98
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: Northam is planning to survive by changing his agenda to

99
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: focus on race. He is quote reading roots and the

100
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: case for Reparations and is committed to pursuing a bold

101
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: policy agenda to make amends. Northam's not going anywhere. He's

102
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. Is Fairfax going to have to resign now? Though,

103
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: given all the dynamics of play, that would be quite

104
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: a circumstance, wouldn't it. But just watch and see the

105
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: Democrats are going to try so hard to avoid the

106
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: reality of what is going on in the state of

107
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: Virginia for the whole country to see. The top three officials,

108
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: all Democrats, all should resign, But right now I think

109
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: only one will, and that's Lieutenant Governor Fairfax. We've got

110
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: more coming up. Stay with me, guys. Today marks the

131
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: All of these ideas taxing carbon that it just trickles

132
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: down to the working class. Well, the reason it's trickled

133
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: down to the working class in France is because we've

134
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: allowed corporations to take over who bears the burden of carbon,

135
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: carbon taxes and other taxes. And that's why when we

136
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: work as a progressive movement here, it needs to be

137
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: led by everyday people. It needs to be led by workers,

138
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: it needs to be led by frontline communities, because if

139
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: we don't do that, that is what happens. It is

140
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: the top ten corporations, multinational corporations in the world are

141
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: responsible for an enormous amount of our carbon output. So

142
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: it should not be middle class Americans, and it should

143
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: not be everyday people that bear that burden. And it

144
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: should not be a gas tax at the pump. It

145
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: should be really the corporations that are responsible for soiling

146
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: rather for polluting our water in our air. She just

147
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: has no idea what she's talking about. I mean, it's

148
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: it's stunning because it reminds me a bit of when

149
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: David Hogg and a few of his fellow Parkland's Parkland

150
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: High School students came out and we were all supposed

151
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: to kind of bowed down and say, oh, because of

152
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: the trauma that they suffered, everything that they say, we

153
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: cannot you know, David Hogg cannot be contradicted. He cannot

154
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: and and and that was true on guns. At first,

155
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: the media, Oh, he's so brilliant and what he says

156
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: is so wise and how dare you criticize him? But

157
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: then he started to just kind of freelancing and talk

158
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: about whatever is a kid who doesn't know anything, just

159
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: doesn't know anything. And Ocasio Cortez is not much better,

160
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: just doesn't really know very much. The idea that you'd

161
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: be able to just have carbon taxes on corporations is preposterous.

162
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it, and just the wealthiest corporations,

163
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: because guess what, even the wealthiest corporations have competitors. So

164
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 1: are you just going to put this tax on the

165
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: top ten? Are you just going to put this tax

166
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: on you know, Apple? And by the way, is it

167
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: for Xon? Is it for you know? I would really

168
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: want to ask her how you're supposed to break this down?

169
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: Are you going to go after the fossil fuel companies?

170
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: Could hear problem? Folks? If you go after Xon, you

171
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: better also go after Walmart because Walmart products are made

172
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: with hydrocarbons. I guess I'll take what our collars said

173
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: yesterday to Hart here. Walmart products are made with oil.

174
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: You know, petroleum goes into a lot of products. Half

175
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: half of the oil that is used in this country

176
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: goes into products, not into the gas tank. And as

177
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: we know, the emissions from cars are a major part

178
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: of as the left sees it, a climate change disaster,

179
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: which I think is nuts and nonsense. But this is

180
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: where you really got to drill down and start asking

181
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: you some questions like, okay, so how do they do

182
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: this wrong? In France, they have a gas tax because

183
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: they want people to use less gas. It's not just

184
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: rich people who drive cars. The difference between in France

185
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: a rich person and a middle class person is a

186
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: middle class person drives a you know, I don't know

187
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: how many know how many euros it would be able.

188
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: Let's say, you know, a twenty five thousand euro Pigaux

189
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: and a rich person drives you know, an Audi A eight.

190
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: But they're both using gas, and they're both using really

191
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: the same level and kind of gas. So how do

192
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 1: you stop that behavior? Because if you're trying to prevent well,

193
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: you've got to. If you want less of something, tax it, right,

194
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: that's what they do. But no one ever wants to

195
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: bear the costs of this. This dream of combating climate

196
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: change that the left is obsessed with is always premised

197
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: on somebody else dealing with it. Somebody else has to

198
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: take the pain. You just get the benefit of thinking

199
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: you being a progressive in this case and Ocazio Cortes acolyte,

200
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: you get the benefit of being a warrior and that

201
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: you're saving the planet and you're such a good person,

202
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: But you don't have any of the downside of the

203
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: increase in taxes, increase in the price of products. How

204
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: does Occasio Quartes think that all of the pumpkin spice

205
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: latte flavor gets delivered to the Starbucks restaurants that she

206
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: or your coffee shops that she frequents and many of

207
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: us do. I mean, I like, you know, I mean,

208
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: I drink my black rifle, but I'll go into Starbucks

209
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: and get a snack if I need to. How does

210
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: she think it gets there? How does she think that

211
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: it is transport? Oh, that's right, in trucks. What do

212
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: trucks run on? Oh? Gasoline? Gasoline puts out emissions into

213
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: the air, right, it burns fossil fuel. What does she

214
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: think happens when you're going to try to do less

215
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: of us? I mean, really, what the what's at the

216
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: heart of the climate change movement is restraining economic activity

217
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: and productivity, is putting artificial weights. Artificial uh, you know,

218
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: holds on the ability that we have to be more

219
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: productive and result in in you know, and that productivity,

220
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: by the way, has real impact on our lives, right,

221
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the the cars that we drive

222
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: for transport, the products that we can use, the homes

223
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: that are heated, the all these different things make our

224
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: lives easier, you know, because you have you know, an

225
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: oil burning or you know's it could be natural gas too,

226
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: but because you have a furnace on that you don't

227
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: have to go out in the woods and chop down

228
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of firewood for yourself. Although I'm sure a

229
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: lot of you listening is probably do that too, but

230
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: you know, you don't have to do that. Safety time,

231
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: safety energy, You've got something that is more efficient. These

232
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: are all trade offs that are being made. There is

233
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: no modern economy without fossil fuels. It does not exist.

234
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: We do not have an economy without fossil fuels that

235
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: would be anywhere near the prosperity that we've enjoyed for

236
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: the last really over one hundred years. We're going at

237
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: least one hundred and fifty years where fossil fuel where coal.

238
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: You know, it has been really important and over that,

239
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: but certainly for the last one hundred and fifty years

240
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: it has saved so many lives, it has reduced so

241
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: much suffering, and misery and poverty and starvation, and they

242
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: want to just abandon it all, and that's what they

243
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: want to do and try to get us to live

244
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: on this fantasy land of a renewable, green energy grid that, yes,

245
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: in a hundred years, are we probably going to be

246
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: be entirely renewable? Sure, yeah, I think we probably will be.

247
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: That that seems based on the trajectory already on And

248
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: that's fine and that and it all happened then with

249
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: the infrastructure and the technology in place to sustain it

250
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: and to make it really feasible. In twenty years, are

251
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: we going to be one hundred percent renewable? Thirty years,

252
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna be one hundred percent? Absolutely not, No way

253
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: is that going to happen. You know, I just wish

254
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: that there was a way, you know, you can bet

255
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: on stocks and you find out if you're right or

256
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: wrong based on the stock price. I really do wish

257
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: that there was a way to bet on these political issues,

258
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: you know. I wish that I could put money up

259
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: to show that in ten years, you know, Malibu is

260
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: not going to be underwater because of climate change. In

261
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: ten years, it will be impossible to show that this

262
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: claim about the worst storms and more frequent storms at all,

263
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: that it will be impossible to show that that's actually true,

264
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: because at least then I could make money off of this.

265
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: But I could point to this and say, who do

266
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: you want to believe? The people that are always wrong

267
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: because their predictions are driven by political considerations, not by

268
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: probability and science. Who do you want to believe? Our

269
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: side looks at the history and looks at what has

270
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: happened and is happening. Their side just keeps saying we've

271
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: been wrong all that other stuff, but don't worry. All

272
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: the scientists that were wrong are right this time, and

273
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: this is what they're saying. But ultimately also, I mean,

274
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: i'd some just some fun today talking to a couple

275
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: of Democrats that I work with, and one of the

276
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: things that came up was just how if they were

277
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: I go into the weekend with a little bit of

278
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: happiness in this because if the Democrat Party right now,

279
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: we're saying that they want to do a better job

280
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: negotiating a trade deal with China than Trump than Trump

281
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: is doing, and they want to do more. They want

282
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: to you know, fix healthcare, fix Obamacare. I mean, they

283
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: don't even have to have smart sounding solutions, but just

284
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: deal with real problems. You know that they want to

285
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: have a push for a more skills based immigration system

286
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: and a large guessworker program at the border. These aren't

287
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: even things that I like. But if they were doing this,

288
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: if they well, actually the skills based immigration as the

289
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: guessworkers not. But if they were doing this stuff, though,

290
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: I would be much more worried about Trump's prospects for

291
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. I'm actually excited. You know, I saw a

292
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to where did it go. There was a

293
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: a piece today, I think it was in Politico about

294
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: how democrats Democrats are actually concerned about how looney, Like

295
00:17:55,560 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: the smart Democrats out there are concerned about how completely

296
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: nuts this whole thing has been, and they realize that

297
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: their party is not going to win if they don't

298
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: get a grip, if they don't stop being crazy. You know,

299
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: you look at at who takes this green before we

300
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: get into breaker, that's say, who takes this green new deal? Seriously,

301
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm not just picking on o'casio Quartez. You got Corey

302
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: Booker excite. This was on Twitter yesterday, excited to join

303
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: AOC on a historic green New Deal Resolution to address

304
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: the peril of climate change and worsening inequality. Our history

305
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 1: is a testimony to the achievement of what some think

306
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: is impossible. We must take bold action now, Elizabeth Warren.

307
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: If we want to live in a world with clean

308
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: air and water, we have to take real action to

309
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: combat climate change now. I'm proud to join Representative AOC

310
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: on a Green New Deal resolution. Kamala Harris, I'm proud

311
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: to sponsor ao See and Ed Markey's Green New Deal.

312
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: We must aggressively tackle climate change, folks. This is the

313
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: main stream of the Democrat Party. I'm not a Christian

314
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: jewel brand. A Green New Deal is ambitious, it's bold,

315
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: and I'm co sponsoring this resolution. The Democrat Party is

316
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: on board for this from the top down. These people

317
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: are wacko, totally disconnected from reality. So on the good

318
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: side of things, I think they're in trouble for twenty twenty.

319
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: On the bad side, if they take power, they're going

320
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: to destroy this country. They're gonna think they're saving it

321
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: while they do it. So you must be okay with

322
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: the Schultz idea. And I don't say that is you know,

323
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: and there's some Democrats freaking out about it. But look

324
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: I'm coming from somebody says, what's wrong with more competition?

325
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: Is better or not less? Do you think it would

326
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: be healthier for our system if we had four or

327
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: five parties? Four or five? I think I think that's fine,

328
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: you know, I think that that's it. Sounds like the

329
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 1: two major parties you feel like don't serve this. Well, yeah,

330
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: what about like six or seven? Though? Like, how about

331
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: like infinity plus one? Like why don't we just like

332
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: have like so many of them? And you know, we've

333
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: lost sight of some very basic truths here in this country.

334
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: One of them is that becoming a member of Congress

335
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: does not really mean anything about a person's ability, intelligence,

336
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: or skill. It just means that they ran a political

337
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: campaign in one district of hundreds of Congression districts across

338
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: the country and they happen to beat the other guy,

339
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: or maybe they beat the other guy and then one

340
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: other guy after that. That's all it means. There are

341
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people, and I'll be honest with you,

342
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: of both parties who are in Congress that are not

343
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: impressive that I have interacted with and don't particularly like,

344
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: And we should not feel like oh, a member of

345
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: I know, maybe you're listening to the show. Chances are

346
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: or one brilliant, well read, handsome, beautiful, and just full

347
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: of life. That's all true for people who listen to

348
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: the show. But you also are probably a little cynical

349
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: about politicians, because I'm cynical about politicians, mostly from my

350
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: experience in seeing what they do and now in DC

351
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: dealing with them on a on a daily basis. But

352
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: I just think it's funny, you know, ao Ocasio Cortez.

353
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 1: You know, she's waxing philosophical on the very structure of

354
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: our political system, and people are taking her seriously. You know,

355
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: I would like to ask her some basic questions. I

356
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: will ask her at some point, who are the three

357
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: authors of the Federalist papers? For example, I'd be really

358
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: curious to see if she could tell me who are

359
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: the authors of the Federalist papers? That would be or

360
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: even just who's the primary author of the Federalist papers?

361
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: If she's going to tell us how many political parties

362
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: we should have. Do any think that that's not a

363
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: fair question to get a sense of her of her knowledge,

364
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: too much of a gotcha question. I remember with Sarah

365
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: Palin you know, it was you know, who's the who's

366
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: third in line for the throne of you know, Lesotho

367
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: or something. I mean, you know, it was like what

368
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: and oh, Sarah Palin just doesn't know anything. Well she wasn't. Yeah,

369
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: she wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire with the

370
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: knowledge either. I'm not going to pretend. But it was

371
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: very fair for them to go after Palin for the media,

372
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: go after Paling on just a lack of fundamental knowledge

373
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: about certain things in the world. But Ocasio Cortez they

374
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: excuse the absence of knowledge and and they elevate all

375
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: this honestly, all this bs. You know, they elevate all

376
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: of this talking points, garbled together left wing claptrap. I mean,

377
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: it's just it's just left wing kind of boiler plate

378
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: mixed with the the the verbiage of the community organizer,

379
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: you know, all that equity and diversity and inclusion, and

380
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's really this this other way of talking

381
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: that people who come from the political left, they've adopted this,

382
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: and it's because it's a way of appealing to people's grievances,

383
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: to their sense of a victimization and their emotions without

384
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: having to assert anything that can be challenged on a

385
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: more factual basis. That's why, I mean, you can assert

386
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: whatever you want about oppression. I can't prove that oppression

387
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: does not exist in the way they say it exists.

388
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: I can only debate the concept with them, but I

389
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: can't say, you know. And so that's the realm where

390
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: she likes to talk. That's the area of most of

391
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: her focus and discussion. Because the moment that she gets

392
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: into the numbers and the reality, they have to run

393
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: all this defense for her and say things like, well,

394
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: you know, she's right. She might be wrong with the numbers,

395
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: but she's morally right, or whatever does it said about that.

396
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean, here's another example. You know, she gave us

397
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: the interview to Chuck Todd. Chuck Todd is kind of

398
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: a you know, there's a part of me that's like,

399
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: there's nothing impressive or interesting about Chuck Todd, which is true,

400
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: but this part of me that almost respects the game,

401
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, how did this guy become the thing? What

402
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,719
Speaker 1: did this guy do to become somebody who's gonna be

403
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: running this show? Paid millions of dollars? Kind of has this,

404
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: you know, scraggly little goatee and this kind of nasily

405
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: little voice and just does liberal, liberal, standard left wing

406
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: exactly what you would expect on his show, night and

407
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: a night out. You know how. Anyway, there's a part

408
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: of me just as somebody else who's in the business

409
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: part of me. It's I almost respect the almost respect

410
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: the con But he's talking to her last night, and

411
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: then we can take her speaking yesterday morning. So it's

412
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: last night. Yesterday morning is the first part of this clip,

413
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: and then last night. I just want you to hear

414
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: it's almost like she has no she's just making it

415
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: up when she goes as she goes along, there's no

416
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: idea what she's talking about. Play clip one. Are you

417
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: prepared to put on the table that yes, actually they're

418
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: right what this requires this massive government intervention? Yes it does. Yeah,

419
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: I have no problem saying that. I think on the

420
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: rights US try to it does, very straightforward question massive

421
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: government intervention. She talks about rebuilding all the structures, and

422
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: this is their Green New Deal proposal. I'm not making

423
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: this up. I'm not taking out of context, rebuilding every

424
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: building in the country. I can't even tell if they're

425
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,479
Speaker 1: serious about high speed rail to Hawaii. Into islands. I mean,

426
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: I'm assuming they know that's so stupid. It's mine. But

427
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: all of it is so stupid it's mind boggling. So

428
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: how do we separate out they believe it? You're kidding me, Dude?

429
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: Did they really come out there? And I think that

430
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: it's possible. I think they've I think they really believe it.

431
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: I think that's a difference, like a lot of this,

432
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, all the stuff is I think they've ben't

433
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: saying this stuff for thirty years. But I do think

434
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: the difference now is I think they actually believe it

435
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: when I see them on tvay, don't you? Oh yeah, well,

436
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: I don't they believe the green stuff. I just don't

437
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: know if they believe that high speed rail can get

438
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: us so Hawaii. Funny, maybe I think Mazie Horono does Dude,

439
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: Mazie Horono smarter than Okazio Cortez. I don't know what

440
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: to say. She's like, I don't think you're getting a

441
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: train to Hawaii, Lady Okazi Cortez like no, like we'll

442
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: totally get it, like with the bridges and the stuff

443
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: and it like floats. Maybe instead of asking her about

444
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: the Federalist papers, maybe ask them work basic question of

445
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: you know where Hawaii Hawaii is? Oh man, there's a

446
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: lot of que I mean this, you know, I see it.

447
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: Would people think that it's mean, but there's a part

448
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: of it. I would want to just say, why don't

449
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: we we should subject some of these some of these

450
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: people that were told they're so brilliant to like a

451
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: very basic man on the street test, like what what

452
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: the different late show and that will do? And see

453
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: how they do. I think people's minds would be blown

454
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: about out the lack of core knowledge that o'cazio Quartez

455
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: has for somebody who's in is in and by the way,

456
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: she's not alone. I think they I think their minds

457
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: will be blown by Maisie Horono. I think their minds

458
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: will be blown by a whole bunch of folks, probably

459
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: some there's some Republicans in there too who just are

460
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: not not very knowledgeable about about a lot of things.

461
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: But anyway, so so she said massive government intervention Clearer's

462
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: day could not have been any more said in that,

463
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: and then here's what she said later on that same day.

464
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: Play the rest of the clip mischaracterize what we're doing

465
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: as though it's like some kind of massive government takeover. Okay, well,

466
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: which is it? She's very comfortable with massive government intervention,

467
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: but it's mischaracterized as some kind of massive government takeover.

468
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: When we talk about intervention, that's government action to direct

469
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: institutions or people or or things to do something that

470
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: strikes me as a takeover. So is she confused about

471
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: what government intervention is or does she just contradict herself

472
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: later on in the day because she realizes that there

473
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: are a lot of Americans out there who don't really

474
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: want to be told and don't really want to hear

475
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: that the answer to the problems that faces this country

476
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: is just putting more stuff in the hands of the

477
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: government that, as we know, is already on an unsustainable

478
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: financial footing and messes up stuff all the time. Is

479
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: that usual? Oh? You know this picture I really away, No,

480
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: I know. It was a Halloween party. I went as

481
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: a beautiful African woman. Oh yeah, am black. But that's

482
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: my hair, my hair, but we got thought that was

483
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: that is me? You have tanning motion on little my head.

484
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: Makeup that was a little bit darker makeup than your skin.

485
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,239
Speaker 1: Joy bayhad you know, I was a little darker than

486
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: my skin. And a little bit of makeup aarded Uh, producer,

487
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: Mike is he there's he out smoking a cigarette with

488
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: the ladies. I'm here and I don't smoke. I know, man,

489
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: that's what that's what we say, because then I know

490
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: you'll pay attention. Uh, tell me what the heck happened

491
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: here with Joy Behar. She was just, you know, had

492
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: a Halloween party and she dressed up and you know,

493
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: as an africautiful African woman, and she got called out

494
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: for something that was inappropriate nowadays. So so wait, but Mike,

495
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: I need help. I need help. You explained to me.

496
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: Megan Kelly brought up the concept of dressing. I think

497
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: is Diana Ross when she was a little girl for

498
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: Halloween and using dark makeup and she was fired from

499
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: NBC for that. Right, Joy bay haids over at ABC,

500
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: and she's saying that as an adult she dressed as

501
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: an African woman and had dark makeup on Why is that? Okay? Mike,

502
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: I don't understand one's a liberal and one's a conservative.

503
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: And he's short answer that is so much more wrong

504
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: with it. But I want to leave it at that

505
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: for now. I think that's kind of amazing and then

506
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: you also have Jimmy. But have you ever heard through

507
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: the you know, heard through the media, grape fine as well,

508
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: that Jimmy Kimmel is a really really nasty person, because

509
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: I actually have I've heard he's a I've heard he's

510
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: a bad guy, like a jerk. Yeah, which some comedians

511
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: have a very you know, corrupted soul. Uh. You know,

512
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: even if they're pretty good at their jobs, you spend

513
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: time talking to them. You're like, Okay, you've got a

514
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: pretty interesting view of the world, but I see you've

515
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: also pulled here. Jimmy Kimmel doing an impersonation of Karl

516
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: Malone played twenty one sometime at night, came old, look

517
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: up and sky and say, what the hell going on

518
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: up there? The UFO live on other planet calling home?

519
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: Like Et Camolo read on TV about white people getting

520
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: deducted by alien. Now Camolo never seen a flying saucer himself,

521
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: but if he do, that's gonna be a spooky time.

522
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: So again, he was in full He had black I

523
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: think black body paint on, black makeup on his face.

524
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: He's doing a kind of southern urban dialect. Did anyone

525
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: get mad at Jimmy Kimmel for that producer, Mike, Not

526
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: that I remember. No, I don't remember anybody's saying Jimmy

527
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: Kimmel should like lose his job or be okay, But

528
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: that's so weird because we talked with the Megan Kelly thing.

529
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: So what's the difference here, Mike. Yeah, one's liberal and

530
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: one's a conservative. Ah, there's that thing again. That's so weird, man,

531
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 1: It's so weird how that happens. And we see this

532
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: now again in Virginia. This is why I take I

533
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: increasingly take the position, never neil, never apologize. You know,

534
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: in media, apologize only if you think or you know,

535
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: in this case, speaking from the eye perspective, if I

536
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: think I've done something wrong where I have made a mistake,

537
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: I will apologize. I will not apologize because the outrage mob.

538
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: This is because because now the apology is just used

539
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: as the gasoline to throw on the pyre. They're going

540
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: to burn you on anyway. Right. It's this dynamic has changed.

541
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: It's no longer okay, you know you've apologize, We're gonna

542
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: humiliate you a little bit. You know, you'll go on

543
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: the talk show circuit and beg forgiveness from all the

544
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: different aggrieved groups, and you know, maybe maybe you'll be

545
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: given absolution from Ellen or Oprah or whomever. Right. That

546
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: used to be kind of the if you're a celebrity

547
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: and you make a mistake the way it goes for conservatives,

548
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: though that never really applied for conservatives because we aren't

549
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: accepted by the rest of the media class. You kind

550
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: of were forced to apology, guys, and they still hate you,

551
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: but at least they would stop trying to get all

552
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: your sponsors to flee your show and everything else. But

553
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: then when you get a little bit further down the

554
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: line here where we are now, is that if you apologize,

555
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: you're just giving them more to destroy you with. So

556
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: I would I tell all my friends now we're in

557
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: the business, and many of whom have come up against

558
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: their own, you know, their own efforts at personal attacks

559
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: and destruction, and I tell them, look, you know you don't.

560
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: Don't back down, you know, don't. And another version of

561
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: this is, don't delete a tweet just because someone is

562
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: telling you you better or else. You only delete something

563
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: if you think you should. You know, I've had some maniacs,

564
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: liberal liberal celebrities and other maniacs. You've been like you

565
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: better delete that. Nope, not going to delete that. Thanks

566
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: a lot. I think that I made a mistake, or

567
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: if I think that, there is a need to do so.

568
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: But you cannot cave to these mobs anymore because there's

569
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: no benefit. Never mind the the the kind of feeling

570
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: of of degradation and the subservience of having to say, oh,

571
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: the outrage, mom, I'm so sorry, And even when you're

572
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: not beyond that, now they're just gonna say, oh, you

573
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: see he signed the confession. Now we really can't destroy him.

574
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: This is amazing. But with Bihar and Kimmel, I mean,

575
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: we can go through this all the time. We were

576
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: just operating in a world where there is no there

577
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: is no good faith from the left from the other

578
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: side on any of this stuff. And the you know,

579
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 1: the media is essentially a subsidiary of the Democratic Party,

580
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: and the beliefs of mainstream Democrats are completely not just

581
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: reflected but imposed upon all of us by the biggest

582
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: media platforms out there, the exceptions being talk radio, Fox News,

583
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: a couple of newspapers, and you know, some digital some

584
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: digital outlets. But that's it, that's it. You know, what

585
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: is the conservative of cable channel really think about that

586
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: for a moment. I mean, get beyond cable news or

587
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: or you know, news and opinion. What is the HBO

588
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: screamingly liberal, Showtime, screamingly liberal, ABC, NBCCBS all liberal, all

589
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 1: of them. Where's the concern? Can we just have one

590
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: channel where you know, we can watch Braveheart, the Hunt

591
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: for Red October and uh, you know, whatever new scripted

592
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: content they come up with, isn't all about how everybody

593
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 1: in America, you know, needs to preach that transgender kids

594
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 1: are a good idea for the country. I mean, can

595
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: we just have one channel where maybe it exists? I

596
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: just don't know what it is, but we're definitely outgunned

597
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: in this fight, and it's time we turn that around.

598
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: All we got we got to talk about this, uh

599
00:35:55,560 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 1: this Capitol Hill hearing today where they went off to

600
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: Attorney General Whitaker. Now Whittaker is not a savvy DC insider,

601
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: and he's not he's not doesn't strike me as a

602
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: crafty lawyer, but he seems like a good guy and

603
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: an honest guy. Kind of reminds me of Hank Hank Schrader,

604
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: Agent Hank Schrader, who's the d E A guy from

605
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: the show breaking bad, Mike, you know I'm talking about

606
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, great show. Yeah yeah. Whittaker reminds me of

607
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 1: Hank a Schrader or Schroder. I think a Schrader. Great show,

608
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: but you know, he's very much in that mold. He's

609
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: kind of law and order guy, and the Democrats just

610
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,040

632
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: is a unique in this. I'm sorry, Yes or no question.

633
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: Have you communicated anything you learned in that briefing to

634
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:55,240
Speaker 1: about the investigation to President Trump? Yes or no, mister Chairman.

635
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: As I've said earlier today in my opening remarks, I

636
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: do not today to talk about my private conversations with

637
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: the President the United States. But to answer your question,

638
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 1: I have not up to the President United States about

639
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: the Special Council's investigations. What a joke today, I mean,

640
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: what a total mess on Capitol Hill. You add Acting

641
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: Attorney General Matthew Whittaker there, he's speaking to this House

642
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: committee and the whole thing. I mean, the guy's not

643
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: even going to be the Attorney general much longer, but

644
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: I mean much longer. It's going to be a few

645
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: more days. And they dragged him that they threatened to

646
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 1: subpoena him so to force this guy is the attorney

647
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: general right now. We keep saying acting, but I mean

648
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: he is the attorney general. He has the powers of

649
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: the Attorney General the United States. They want to force

650
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: him to testify a few days before to essentially interrogate

651
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: him about the Muller probe. There has not been a

652
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: single peep of protest about anything that he has done

653
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: to the Muller probe, about the Muller probe from anyone.

654
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: I mean, there's been nothing. The media was hair on

655
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: fire paranoid about this a few months ago, and nothing

656
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: has happened. Muller did their hole, did the whole shenanigans

657
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: with the arrest of Roger Stone and Muller's Mueller's whole

658
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: thing just keeps grinding on and grinding them. Mueller had

659
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: to shoot down that ridiculous BuzzFeed report that said the

660
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: presidents of born perjury and in the process committed a felony.

661
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: BuzzFeed has laid off ten percent of its workforce I

662
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: think the last month or so, which is one of

663
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: these things that a lot of us have seen coming

664
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: for a long time. But anyway, they do so much

665
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: fearmongering around what Whittaker is going to do. But then

666
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: when you get down to it, he hasn't done anything,

667
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: hasn't done anything wrong. They have no reason to believe

668
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: he has done anything wrong. But they want to bring

669
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: him out and interrogate him about this. They just want

670
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: to get him on the record saying I'm not going

671
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: to tell you what the president talk, which no attorney

672
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: general will be like, yeah, let me tell you every

673
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: everything the president has told me, and all my conversations

674
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: with the president the United States, who's you know, my boss,

675
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 1: the attorney general's boss, whatever you want to know, I'll

676
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: tell you that's not how it works, Okay, this is

677
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: And that's all they want to do is try to

678
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: get into those conversations and and feed this red meat

679
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: to the insane left wing base that really believes, you know,

680
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: the Muller probe is not enough. You notice that these

681
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: people have no there is no sense of fair play

682
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: from the other side. There's no gratitude, there's no okay,

683
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, they let Muller do his work. They've let

684
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 1: this sham show trial nonsense go on for two years.

685
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: And but okay, so you know, because this was never

686
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: about finding Russia collusion. This was just about harassing and

687
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: threatening and undermining the Trump administration. So it's not like

688
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: it comes to an end and they're gonna feel better

689
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: about things. They're gonna be sad when it comes to

690
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: an end because they wanted to keep to continue. I

691
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: don't I don't know that you know, Whittaker knows this.

692
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: I've spoken to the Attorney General. I've spoken to him

693
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: at some length, and he's aware of what he's up

694
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: against with the Democrats, no question about it. He knows

695
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: the games that they're playing. And he also though takes

696
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: his role very seriously. I will say, I mean, he's

697
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: not a he's not what you would consider to be

698
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: a great legal a great legal scholar, he's not. But

699
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: he is a brawler, which I think is why Trump

700
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: likes him. You know, he's a guy who won't back down.

701
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: He's a guy who won't be bullied or intimidated. He's

702
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: not one of these excuse me and edit a kothidy

703
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 1: pad libs. You know a lot of that in government,

704
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: A lot of frauds and whimps in the federal bureaucracy.

705
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: They just made a good lug to go I gave

706
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: d I just wanted to get back to my house

707
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: out by Della's airport. And you know, okay, all right,

708
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: we get it right that they just don't want to

709
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: they don't want to get into much of anything. Um

710
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: Whitnaker does not take that approach as we saw it

711
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: today on Capitol Hill. I'd never heard this before when

712
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: someone's being questioned by members of Congress. This was this

713
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: was a bit of a jaw dropper play clip nine. Now,

714
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: in your capacity is acting at twenty general, have you

715
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: ever been asked to approve any request or action to

716
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: be taken by the special counsel? Mister Chairman, I see

717
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: that your five minutes is up, and so we we

718
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: we we I am here, I'm here voluntarily. We have

719
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: agree to five minute rounds committee. I think that's a

720
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: fine place to end the five minute role committee. Wow,

721
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: I think five minutes, Rup dude, that that was the first.

722
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: That was the first? Uh John producer Mike did either

723
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: you guys see this? Did you see this earlier today?

724
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 1: It was who man? I was like this guy's not

725
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: it's not taking any guff, not taking any nonsense from anybody. Um,

726
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: but I understand, you know, he's been trashed by the

727
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: media and he's done nothing to earn that. He's done

728
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,479
Speaker 1: nothing to earn that. He was just he was Jeff

729
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: Sessions chief of staff. Um, Jeff Sessions chief of staff.

730
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: He didn't do anything to undermine the Russia probe. He

731
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: had by this whole notion of undermining it too, what

732
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: they mean is is actually provide oversight to Muller. That's

733
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 1: what they would. You see, the whole construct of the

734
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: Muller Probe being interfered with is just suggestive of what's

735
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: really going on, which is the Muller Probe is like

736
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: this rogue branch of government unto itself, and the Muller

737
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: Probe should not have anybody that's allowed to rein it.

738
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: In you have Rod Rosenstein, who's who is a slimy bureaucrat.

739
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's very, very interested in how what people

740
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: think of him, how the New York Times, how the

741
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: Washington Post write about him, what his legacy is. You know, look,

742
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: part of it is probably a career thing, right, he

743
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: knows when he leaves DJ at this point, does he

744
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: want to get some seven figure year salary to be

745
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: essentially a figurehead at some very fancy law firm or

746
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: as a consultant for some you know whatever. Then he

747
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 1: wants those newspapers to write good things about him. But

748
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: I do not think there has been interest from him,

749
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: from from Rosenstein or anybody else in d J. In

750
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: calling into questions some of the very obvious heavy handed

751
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: tactics that the Special Counsel has been using, I mean

752
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: that that much is I think quite clear to me.

753
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: I also don't believe that Rosenstein was kidding about invoking

754
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth Amendment to remove the president. I don't.

755
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,439
Speaker 1: I don't think he was, And I have heard from

756
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 1: people who have spoken to people who were in the

757
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: room when that conversation happened, who said he was not

758
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: kidding that the Deputy Attorney General, who was overseeing the

759
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: Russia collusion delusion, the Mueller Special Council operation, essentially was

760
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: looking for a legal cover for a soft coup against

761
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: the President of the United States. That's who's the only

762
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: person you're trusting to reign in the Muller probe. If

763
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: it goes goes rogue, and I think it most certainly has.

764
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 1: And I'm glad that there were some people today who

765
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: were were to say that this whole exercise on Capitol

766
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 1: Hill was a whole bunch of nonsense. You know, Doug,

767
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 1: Doug Collins, he made some noise about a placlipate. We

768
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: now have the reason for this hearing. It has nothing

769
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: to do with the oversight of DJ. It has everything

770
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: to do, as we found out this morning in a

771
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: document dump from the Democratic side of this committee and

772
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: also another committee, if this is nothing more than a

773
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: character assassination, and we're gonna also decide to see if

774
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: we can just do something and get at the president

775
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: while we're head. It's so obvious to me what's really

776
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: going on here with this whole Whittaker humiliation session, which

777
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 1: is what they were trying to do. They're just trying

778
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: to humiliate this guy. And you know, he's not He's

779
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 1: not a guy who really wants to get into the politics.

780
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: He views his role at the DOJ very seriously. I

781
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: know that. And he's not trying to be a political

782
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: infighter there. He just wants to do the job and

783
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: pass it on to to build bar and there you

784
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: have it. I mean he's not trying. He's not trying

785
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: to look he said this, I'm not I'm not interfering

786
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: Play clip eleven. I want to be very specific about this,

787
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: mister Chairman, because I think it's going to allie a

788
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:17,720
Speaker 1: lot of fears that have existed among this committee, among

789
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: the legislative ranch largely, and maybe amongst some American people.

790
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: We have followed the Special Counsel's regulations to a tie.

791
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: There has been no events, no decision that has required

792
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: me to take any action. And I have not interfered

793
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: in any way with the Special Council's investigation. He's under oath.

794
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,240
Speaker 1: In front of Congress, he says he hasn't done anything

795
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 1: to interfere in any way. And it's not enough. That's

796
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: not only they want to keep ating. They kept as

797
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: in the same questions or have you done this? Have

798
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: you done this? You know they they just wanted to

799
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: harass him, That's what they were doing. This was all

800
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: all about trying to irritate and humiliate Whittaker as the

801
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: Attorney General that is, you know, currently trying to hand

802
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 1: he's trying to hand the Reids off. It's not like

803
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,240
Speaker 1: I try to make him the permit an attorney general,

804
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: but you get stuff like this from Sheila Jackson Lee

805
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: played fifteen. You did not have a confirmation hearing and

806
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: you have not yet appeared for an oversight hearing? Yes

807
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: or no? Yes or no? Congresswoman, I am the actor,

808
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,240
Speaker 1: Yes or no? Have you appeared before and oversight hearing

809
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: in the Congress? Witness who answered the question as asked,

810
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 1: please a member has only five minutes, and yes, she's

811
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: entitled to it. I will not allow the witness to

812
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 1: stall and waste members time. May I have my time restored?

813
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 1: I think it was like four minutes, mister Attorney General.

814
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 1: The question is did you have a confirmation hearing? And

815
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 1: has it been more than ten years since you've testify

816
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: before a Congress? And the coffee restored? Here it was

817
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're time soon restored or not,

818
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: mister Attorney General. We're not joking. You're er is not acceptable.

819
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: Now you are here because we have a constitutional duty

820
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: to ask questions and the Congress has the right to

821
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 1: establish government rules. The rules are that you are here,

822
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: so I need to ask the question, and I need

823
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: to have my time restored so that you can behave appropriately.

824
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: These people are a joke, a joke. This is Democrats

825
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: and congress folks acting like clowns. They know that he

826
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: hasn't been What kind of a question is this? Yeah,

827
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: he has not been confirmed by the Senate. Obviously they

828
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: know that. Why are they asking this question? All the

829
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 1: questions which were prepared for these congress men and women

830
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: by their staffs and on the Democrat side were just

831
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: meant to be fodder for you know, the left wing

832
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: websites and Twitter and Facebook and stuff. Oh, they're just

833
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,919
Speaker 1: none of this has any meaning. Oversight over what they're doing,

834
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: oversight over the acting attorney general before he's not going

835
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 1: to be the attorney general anymore. They think that's oversight,

836
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:12,720
Speaker 1: This is necessary. Of course it's not necessary. Of course,

837
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: it's it's completely ridiculous. But you might get into them.

838
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: You might wonder, well, Buck, why why are they doing it?

839
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 1: Why are they taking this approach? And the answer is

840
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: that they're taking this approach because, yes, it fires up

841
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: their base. Yes, it gives them what they want to see,

842
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: which is, oh, now there's meaningful oversight. Oversided just a

843
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: fancy word for now that we can hold hearings and

844
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: do a lot of political attacks and a lot of

845
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 1: grandstanding and nonsense. We're going to do it. You know,

846
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: it's essentially an avenue a it's a ventilation system for

847
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: left wing bile, for just a left to vomit out

848
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: all of its anti Trump psychosis. It's all gonna be

849
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,320
Speaker 1: out on the floor of the Congress. Now, Yeah, that's

850
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: what they're doing. That's what this is all about. Oversight. Yeah,

851
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:17,280
Speaker 1: because that's really because because otherwise what there's like there's

852
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: a pro Trump deep state operation they're gonna find out

853
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: or something. Please, this is absolute nonsense, but it also

854
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: and you know, the Democrats their soulless and unprincipled, but

855
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: they are crafty. And by doing this, by bringing Whittaker

856
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: in front of them at the very last minute and

857
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,359
Speaker 1: to just try to just try to dirty him up,

858
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: just make them look bad, humiliate him, make him uncomfortable,

859
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: make it. It sends a signal to anybody who is

860
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 1: or would work for the Trump administration. We don't care

861
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: if it's we don't care if we look like petty losers.

862
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 1: We don't care if it's a disgrace to the offices

863
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 1: we hold. We as Democrats in Congress, will humiliate you two,

864
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: we will drag you through the mud as well. So

865
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: there is a message, Joe, don't don't forget for one second.

866
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: There is a message that is being sent. Here is

867
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: a message to Democrats want all people working around Trump,

868
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: even those who aren't necessarily Trump voters, to know going

869
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: into this election, and that is that you two can

870
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: be brought before us for this ritualized humiliation session that

871
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 1: we will call oversight. A lot of people know about

872
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: the AAARP Rights Organization for Seniors. You or somebody you

873
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 1: know might already be a member, but very few people

874
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 1: that I talked to you seven know that the AARP

875
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: is a pretty left wing organization that lobbies for progressive causes.

876
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: So why would you want to do that? Why not

877
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: support an organization for sediors that wants to share your

878
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: beliefs and push for policies that you would support. That's

879
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: why I recommend AMAC with your investment in AMAC, You're

880
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 1: acting for American interests that you believe in. Well, the

881
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: AMAC difference is that they have held over a thousand

882
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,959
Speaker 1: real face to face meetings with key decision makers in DC,

883
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 1: including senators and key influencers at the White House. So

884
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,080

888
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 1: better for you, better for America. Are you overseeing a

889
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: witch hunt? Congressman? As I've mentioned previously, the Special Counsel's

890
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: investigation is an ongoing investigation, and so I think it

891
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 1: would be inappropriate for me. So you wouldn't oversee a

892
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: witch hunt, would you. You'd stop a witch hunt, wouldn't you, Congressman,

893
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: It would be inappropriate for me to talk about an

894
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: ongoing investigation. Representative Cohen there, You know, he always thinks

895
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: he's auditioning for MSNBC, just like I used to tell

896
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:18,320
Speaker 1: you that Flake was auditioning for CNN. It was really CBS,

897
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: it turns out. But Cohen is you know, he's all

898
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 1: about the histrionics and the nonsense here. But he just

899
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: wants to slap down this idea that it's a witch hunt.

900
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm always amazed by the historical ignorance you see on display.

901
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,320
Speaker 1: People say, well, the quote a lot of witches and

902
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 1: the switch hunt. Okay, idiot leftists witch hunts often, if

903
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: not always, capture somebody. That's why it's a witch hunt there,

904
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's not a Sasquatch hunt. Sasquatch hunts don't

905
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 1: find anybody because there's no Sasquatch. Witch hunts are about

906
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 1: finding people who are just people that you say are witches,

907
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: which is exactly what has happened to the Special Council investigation.

908
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 1: They're saying that these are people tied into this, you know,

909
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: or the perception that they're trying to create as they're

910
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: tied into this conspiracy and Russia collusion. But they're just

911
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 1: getting people on mickey mouse nonsense process crimes I think

912
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: trumped up ones. I don't believe that Flynn lied, and

913
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: I believe that when we find out the full circumstances,

914
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: we will be appalled that the Department of Justice and

915
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:32,399
Speaker 1: the Special Counsel brought perjury charges against General Flynn. Appalled

916
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: they also want to ask him about Whittaker about his

917
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 1: recusal play fourteen OJ officials who advised you that you

918
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 1: should not touch that investigation? In't that correct, Congressman? Yes, so, no,

919
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: I consulted with career ethics officials. I controlted with my

920
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: senior staff I consulted with the Office of Legal Counsel.

921
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: It was my decision to make. I decided not to

922
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 1: recuse them. He decided not to recuse. That's all that

923
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: they really need to know, and he didn't interfere. But

924
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: it's not enough for them because it's never really about

925
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 1: the thing that liberals are complaining about. The complaints are

926
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: are just meant to highlight their political positions and who

927
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 1: they like and who they don't like, you know, the

928
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: complaints about the process and ethics and all this that's

929
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:36,280
Speaker 1: largely irrelevant to them. That's largely, you know, just stuff

930
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 1: that's window dressing for all of this, right, What it

931
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: really is is an opportunity to smash their enemies publicly

932
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: and humiliate them as much as they possibly can. Bezos

933
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,879
Speaker 1: wearing nothing but a white towel and his wedding ring

934
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 1: below the belt selfie of Bezos. The below the belt

935
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: selfie as a blank pick. The below the belt selfie

936
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 1: known as a blank pick. Below the belts known as

937
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 1: a blank pick. Published these picks his semi erect mathick

938
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: the New York Post today. The title is the best

939
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 1: Bezos Exposes Pecker. Bezos Exposes Pecker mister Pecker. It's the

940
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: name tight black cargo pants or shorts, and his semi

941
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 1: erect manhood is penetrating. The Zipper media is having quite

942
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: a quite a you know, ha ha fest over the

943
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: whole Bezos situation. I gotta tell you, um, you know,

944
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: m I'm surprised that they're not a little more a

945
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: little more fired up about the fact that here you

946
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: have Ami, which is a publication that National Choir, which

947
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 1: has published a lot of very nasty stuff up people

948
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: for a long time. Is really I mean, it's pretty

949
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: close to extortion what they did. And you know, I'm

950
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: not some big Bezos fan. I think Amazon is a

951
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: great company. I don't, you know, I don't have much

952
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: from the way of feeling about Bezos one way or

953
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: the other. Obviously, the guy cheated on his wife and

954
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 1: he's got three kids, I think four kids. I mean,

955
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: that's that's gross. But everybody, you know, let's let's not

956
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 1: do what libs do. Let's always be very clear about

957
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: the fact that, you know, if if we're gonna love

958
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: the man for the policies and excuse the man for

959
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: his foibles on the one side, you can't, you know,

960
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: love the man for his company and and uh, you know,

961
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: hate the man for his shortcomings on the other side,

962
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:40,919
Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. You know, I think

963
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: that we need to be careful here. If we're going

964
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: to say that personal behavior shouldn't eliminate the professional or

965
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:51,919
Speaker 1: policy or you know, the the work that somebody does,

966
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 1: you can appreciate and like it irrespective of how they

967
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 1: conduct their personal life within within some limits. I mean,

968
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: you know, we're not talking about like R Kelly stuff here. Um.

969
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 1: Then you know, then I just think that we need

970
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: to be consistent on that standard. Um. So you know,

971
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 1: there's obviously some stuff in Trump's background that is, for

972
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: those of us who believe in a traditional lifelong marriage

973
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: without you know, other stuff going on, that's a problem. Right.

974
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: So with Bezos, I think it's interesting because someone of

975
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 1: the conservas that nerves like, oh, well, Bezos is a

976
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: dirt bag who cheated on his wife, so he deserves this.

977
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 1: I say, well, hold on a second, I thought, I

978
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm I'm anti extortion, I'm anti public shaming,

979
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: just you know, for giggles. So why exactly or are

980
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: we in this specific incidence incident rather uh incidence incident

981
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. Um, instance, there's the word I'm

982
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 1: looking for. Why is it something that, oh, it's you know,

983
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 1: because you know, Bezos is a liberal and he runs

984
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 1: a Washington Post which is essentially an unregistered lobbying arm

985
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 1: of not just Amazon but of the Democratic Party. I'm

986
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 1: all for that criticism, Yeah sure, but I you know,

987
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 1: I don't like this culture of personal shaming that's it,

988
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: because it's it's corrosive and and I think that we

989
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: start to lose a part of ourselves in the process,

990
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: where you know, we can look everybody. Everybody makes mistakes,

991
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 1: everybody does stuff, And I always try to judge it

992
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 1: from is this a mistake that a person could make

993
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: on their you know, could could a good person have

994
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 1: done this on a bad day at a bad time

995
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: and gotten unlucky with how it all came out. If

996
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 1: the answer that is yes, I try to be pretty sympathetic.

997
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 1: If the answer is no, you know, the person saw

998
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 1: it off three people's heads and wore them as you know,

999
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 1: as hood ornaments driving across state lines, Yeah, then then

1000
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: obviously it's a bad person. Um. But you know, the

1001
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: media has really have a lot of fun talking about this,

1002
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: this Bezos thing. Um, I'm seeing reports that there's at

1003
01:00:55,760 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 1: least a theory out there that somebody hacked or got

1004
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: third party illicit access to his personal photos that he

1005
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: was sharing with this woman who you know. I also

1006
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 1: see there's a lot of intricacy here. You know, people say, oh,

1007
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 1: should you refer to her as a mistress? Yeah, I

1008
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,479
Speaker 1: think that's what when someone's married with kids and they're

1009
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: having a sexual affair on the side, I think mistress

1010
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: is the proper term. But if a government entity at

1011
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: any point got involved here, or if there was some

1012
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 1: kind of a hack, that's a crime. That's a crime.

1013
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 1: And to threaten someone's reputation unless they do something that

1014
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 1: you want in this way is a gray area. You know.

1015
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 1: I've always thought this was an interesting, interesting area of

1016
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: the law, and I actually kind of wish we had

1017
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 1: a lawyer on right now to to break this down

1018
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 1: from me, because you know, it seems to me that

1019
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: if you bring a lawyer in to act as intermediary,

1020
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: you're often moral. There seems to be more leeway for

1021
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 1: what would in any other instance be considered blackmail. And

1022
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: here the lawyers between Ami and David Pecker and yes

1023
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: that is his name, and yes, everybody. You know, this

1024
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: reminds me that Anthony Wiener days when I remember sitting

1025
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 1: at a table. Look, I like to have fun with

1026
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 1: these stories too. I'm not trying to be trying to

1027
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: be prudish about it. I remember the Anthony this end.

1028
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: But this was before Anthony Weiner was known to be

1029
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 1: going after you know, underage girls. This was just when

1030
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Weiner was The photos of Wiener had been around

1031
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 1: and we had seen them. I sat at a table

1032
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: at Real News and we just went around doing the

1033
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 1: best the best Wiener headlines and we couldn't. This is

1034
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: before the show. I still wish to this day that

1035
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 1: my my co host and I had recorded it because

1036
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 1: we kind of got on a roll and it was hilarious.

1037
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 1: I mean because when you're really when you're really uh

1038
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: lean into it, you know, the Wiener situation gave you

1039
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: there was a lot of a lot of room to

1040
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: work with. You know, you could you could have really

1041
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: you could really find yourself and yeah, I'm trying. It's

1042
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 1: funny because even just talking about it, I'm like, I

1043
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: could get into a double onto under here. But yeah,

1044
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: Anthony Wiener's story was now you got a guy named Pecker,

1045
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 1: who is who is extorting somebody over photos of of

1046
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: of their their Jeditalia um Bezos was on, or rather

1047
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: on the Bezos story. Frank Bruney was on with Don Lemon,

1048
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: and they were certainly talking about this a lot on

1049
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 1: that CNN show last night played nineteen. Isn't something else

1050
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: really really important that I don't want us to lose sighted,

1051
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: which is he has given us another glimpse of the

1052
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 1: morals or the lack of morals, of the company that

1053
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: our president keeps. Even though he and David Pecker are

1054
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: apparently a strange now because of all that happened with

1055
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 1: federal prosecutors. There's a long, long alliance over time between Ami,

1056
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, David Pecker, the National Inquirer, Donald Trump's friends

1057
01:03:55,280 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 1: behave this way. You know this, this is another place

1058
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: where I just want to lose it. Okay, I'm trying

1059
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 1: to look at the different angles of this and be

1060
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: and give honest assessments of what I see at play here.

1061
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 1: But notice how oh, this is somehow kind of if

1062
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: it's not Trump's fault, it's a knock on Trump too.

1063
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 1: You know it's not Trump's doing, but you know Trump

1064
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: is kind of part of the problem here. Anyway, This

1065
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: is just nonsense, Okay. The left wing media celebrates, celebrates

1066
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 1: these complete smear artists at different news publications. I mean,

1067
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 1: CNN has people on payroll whose only job is to

1068
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 1: try to find it seems like old tweets from conservatives

1069
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,959
Speaker 1: to try to get them fired, you know, find find

1070
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 1: anything from conservatives that will embarrass them and get them fired,

1071
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 1: ruin their reputations. Not CNN. You add places like Gawker,

1072
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 1: incredibly less swing progressive and just a giant mound of

1073
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 1: human feces. As I mean, Gawker is the worst place,

1074
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 1: was the worst place to have ever existed in the media.

1075
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 1: What they were doing was totally disgusting. And you know,

1076
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: you get into these different outlets, you know, on the

1077
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 1: left and these places like Media Matters, and they're just awful.

1078
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 1: They're just full of awful people who are dishonorable and

1079
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: ruined lives and ruined reputations. In many cases do so dishonestly.

1080
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: You know, they'll take things out of context, they'll run

1081
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 1: with stories without having the full facts, and they'll try

1082
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 1: to destroy people. And so I just think it's rich

1083
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 1: for a New York Times clown to be on Don

1084
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 1: Lemon's CNN show and to be engaged and says, oh,

1085
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 1: this is the company that Donald Trump keeps. Please. They

1086
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 1: just hate Trump because with all their different smear machines,

1087
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 1: he still can beat them. He still can go toe

1088
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: to toe with them. You know, if if you're gonna

1089
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 1: get into a fight with a honey badger, you better

1090
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: be a wolverine, you know what I'm saying. I mean.

1091
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: And that's what they hate about Trump. He knows this game,

1092
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: he can play it too, and he has allies on

1093
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 1: his side that yeah, they'll fight dirty, but you know,

1094
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, who do you want to get in the

1095
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: ring a bare knuckle brawler or somebody who only wants

1096
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, the softest gloves and a referee who's gonna

1097
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:41,439
Speaker 1: make sure that every everything is clean, when the other

1098
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 1: side is somebody who will hit below the belt every chance.

1099
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 1: That's what we're up against. So I just think, you

1100
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 1: know the Bezos story, you see once again media's we

1101
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 1: need it. We just needed a better media, We really do.

1102
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:59,479
Speaker 1: The media in this country needs to get torn down

1103
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 1: to the studs and rebuilt. They're a disgrace And I

1104
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:08,920
Speaker 1: really hope that you know they'll be. My greatest hope

1105
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 1: is that there'll be some conservative digital properties that grow

1106
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 1: that become their own ecosystem and that aren't subject to

1107
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: these fear boycotts and other things that the Left engages in.

1108
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: But it's going to take some time. If you want

1109
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: the expert delivery of high qualities screening solutions for employers,

1123
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 1: dot com again, that's MYGVN dot com. If we allow

1124
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: the president to exist with his bigotry. How can we

1125
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:34,919
Speaker 1: demand with any degree of credibility that the governor resigned.

1126
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 1: We have to start at the top. This level of

1127
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:42,439
Speaker 1: bigotry is trickling down into this extent that people are

1128
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 1: going to refuse to acknowledge their bigotry. The moral imperative

1129
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 1: to remove him from office, the moral imperative to impeach

1130
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 1: bigotry emanating in policy from the presidency. We have a

1131
01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 1: moral imperative to do so, and we can do so. Oh,

1132
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 1: here we go. Another instance of this thing that happened

1133
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:11,240
Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with Trump is Trump's fault. Okay,

1134
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:15,759
Speaker 1: so Northam governor Virginia's still the governor. By the way,

1135
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:20,639
Speaker 1: Northam wore a black face after found out lied about

1136
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: wearing black face, like we're all a bunch of idiots,

1137
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 1: and what's herring? Mark Harring, the state attorney general, wanted

1138
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 1: him to resign for wearing black face and then had

1139
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 1: to come out and say, well, actually, I wore black

1140
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:39,639
Speaker 1: face too when I was in college. He still hasn't resigned.

1141
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 1: Fair facts, credibly accused by a woman who has all

1142
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:47,400
Speaker 1: the details, agree that there Everyone agrees there was a

1143
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 1: sexual encounter. All the only issue is whether or not

1144
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 1: it was consensual, whether this guy used force and essentially

1145
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: hurt this woman or not. And none of them have resigned.

1146
01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 1: But Representative Al Green there Democrat Texas, is giving a

1147
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 1: fiery speech about how you see, Northam is not the problem.

1148
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 1: Trump is the problem. This is just I almost don't

1149
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:15,559
Speaker 1: have the words, and I'm a radio host, so of

1150
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:17,839
Speaker 1: course I'm gonna have the words or have some words.

1151
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:22,519
Speaker 1: But this is amazing. What is not Trump's fault this?

1152
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 1: We should now start from the reverse side of this premise.

1153
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 1: What is not Trump's fault? What can we look at

1154
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:33,639
Speaker 1: and say, oh, well, we can't find some way if

1155
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: crime goes up, well that's Trump's fault, because you know,

1156
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:39,519
Speaker 1: he's acting in this way that makes people feel like

1157
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 1: they can break the law too. I mean, I can

1158
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: play this game all day. It's all stupid, but I

1159
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 1: can do this too. Any attack rooted in racism, it's

1160
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 1: Trump's fault, right, must be because of Trump? And now

1161
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 1: it's when I say it, I understand that it's stupid,

1162
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 1: and you understand that it's stupid. But the problem is

1163
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 1: that the other side does not recognize it as stupid.

1164
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 1: They think that this is valid analysis and that this

1165
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 1: is a real way to or or at least it's

1166
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:12,759
Speaker 1: valid demagoguery. Right. They think that this gives their people

1167
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:16,240
Speaker 1: their side. You know, the Democrats get out of jail

1168
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: free card, and this guy's actually using it for for Northam.

1169
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's trying to say, oh, no, no no, no,

1170
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 1: how can we hold Northam accountable when we haven't held

1171
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 1: the president accountable? I'm sorry, President Trump didn't wear a

1172
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:31,680
Speaker 1: black face. And Democrats now are trying to find a

1173
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 1: way to salvage the weaponization of past racist or unexcepted

1174
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:45,799
Speaker 1: forget about even racists, just past unacceptable UNPC conduct, which

1175
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:47,719
Speaker 1: is because I think that you can get in trouble

1176
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: for much less egregious conduct than blackface. Right, Democrats want

1177
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:57,640
Speaker 1: to keep the ability to slam and and force the

1178
01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:01,120
Speaker 1: resignation of Republicans. But they know that they're in a

1179
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:03,599
Speaker 1: weird position right now because they're not doing that with Northam.

1180
01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: So how do they do this now? Oh, that's right,

1181
01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:10,920
Speaker 1: until Trump, Until Trump resigns, No Democrats should have to resign.

1182
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 1: That's the new rule. Oh, okay, isn't isn't that special?

1183
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 1: Isn't that cute? That's that's quite a quite a sleight

1184
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 1: of hand. But here we are, this is we are dealing.

1185
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:30,599
Speaker 1: We're dealing with in ideology that has no principles to protect,

1186
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 1: that is all based on the emotions of the moment

1187
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 1: in the pursuit of power. That's a tough thing to

1188
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:42,400
Speaker 1: fight against. It's a tough enemy to grapple with. It

1189
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 1: feels a little bit like wrestling water sometimes, right. I mean,

1190
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 1: you just you can't really get a grip on it

1191
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 1: because it's always there are no hard and fast rules there,

1192
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 1: there are no principles, There are no core ideas other

1193
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:58,840
Speaker 1: than the pursuit of power and the subservience of the

1194
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 1: individual to the collective. That's really it. I mean everything

1195
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 1: else sort of stems from that. Oh, and also the

1196
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:11,520
Speaker 1: replacement of God with the state. Those are the fundamental

1197
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: precepts of progressivism, of leftism, that's what they build all

1198
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 1: this on. Um. But this, this was remarkable. I knew

1199
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 1: they would do this. I knew it. It's really Trump's

1200
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 1: fault would be a part of this discussion, But to

1201
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:29,640
Speaker 1: hear it in such such a blatant way is uh,

1202
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 1: you just gotta take a moment step back and say, wow,

1203
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:36,640
Speaker 1: By the way, al Sharpton was also down in Virginia

1204
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,680
Speaker 1: to talk about this. Let's let's hear from Reverend Al

1205
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 1: just for a second, for old time's sake, place seventeen.

1206
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 1: Then will be from that try and act like black

1207
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:50,400
Speaker 1: faces just from cultural pain that we would do like

1208
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 1: some of us used to wear a belt bottom paint.

1209
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 1: That is not what black face is. Black Face is

1210
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:06,439
Speaker 1: the instituting of the delibration of black people. That's true.

1211
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the Reverend Owl, you know, is right sometimes,

1212
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 1: But I just want to know, why do we still

1213
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:15,799
Speaker 1: have Why is the Reverendel still considered a moral authority

1214
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 1: on anything? Why is it okay for him to have

1215
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 1: a show or I think I don't know if it's

1216
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:25,680
Speaker 1: I think it's gone now. But at MSNBC, you know,

1217
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:29,000
Speaker 1: what does this have to do? You know, why do

1218
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:32,040
Speaker 1: we have to have Reverend Al as a representative of

1219
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:34,800
Speaker 1: the black community that we all have to respect still

1220
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 1: given his just disgraceful past. I never really get an

1221
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 1: answer to that. I mean, Democrats have to kiss Al

1222
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 1: Sharpton's ring before they can run for president. Still to

1223
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 1: this day, it's pretty remarkable. But maybe that's a conversation

1224
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 1: that we'll have to get to another day. If you

1225

Speaker 1: nine five one one seven nine. That's eight seven seven

1238
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 1: six nine five one one seven nine. Or go to

1239
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 1: MYGVN dot com again, that's MYGVN dot com. Upnext that

1240
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:02,920
Speaker 1: center list with Warren hits Back releasing a DNA test

1241
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 1: results that prove her Native American heritage. She took the

1242
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 1: DNA test and what did it find? It? Fine that

1243
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:13,120
Speaker 1: she in fact does have Native American DNA. Oh snap

1244
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:17,040
Speaker 1: DNA plat twists. Now she's got the stats and facts

1245
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:19,120
Speaker 1: to back up her claim. The idea that this claim

1246
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 1: was a fraud, that she was lying about her family's

1247
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:23,559
Speaker 1: heritage in the story has been passed down is wrong

1248
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:25,559
Speaker 1: because she was confident of what the answer was going

1249
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 1: to be, and she's finally telling him shut up. You know,

1250
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 1: here's and here's some science for you, buddy. I know

1251
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 1: you don't understand how DNA works. To take a look

1252
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 1: at this is she out Trump and Trump? She says,

1253
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: it validates what she has long understood to be part

1254
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:41,200
Speaker 1: of her family's history. That's right, Elizabeth Warren can now

1255
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 1: officially say that she is part Native American. Yeah, like

1256
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:46,560
Speaker 1: it could be that a Native American just sneezed on

1257
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:49,760
Speaker 1: someone in her family at some point. But still, but still,

1258
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 1: it's enough for her to shove in President Trump's face.

1259
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 1: How stupid are these people at CNN and you know,

1260
01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 1: Comedy Central. I mean, did you hear all these voices

1261
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:03,719
Speaker 1: and Elizabeth Warren there most of those. Yeah, there's Trevor

1262
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 1: Noah who's an unfunny comedian and just being propped up

1263
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 1: by the left all the time. But then you also

1264
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:15,919
Speaker 1: have supposed news anchors and news analysts saying no, Elizabeth

1265
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:18,560
Speaker 1: Warren can prove that she is in fact Native Americans.

1266
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: Like are they dumb or they dishonest? It's always so

1267
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 1: hard to know that know the difference. And I actually

1268
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 1: got into a little little tiff online on the Twitter

1269
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 1: with a CNN's like VP of Propaganda. I forget what

1270
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 1: it was, some guy, some CNN executive who came at

1271
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 1: me saying that, you know, it's not fair to dunk

1272
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 1: on CNN's coverage Elize Warren. They were just no, they

1273
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:52,519
Speaker 1: were they were They were hoping that they could run

1274
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: with this and that it would shut down the claims

1275
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 1: about how she's a huge fraud. And then with normal people,

1276
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 1: because they're so desperate to believe they love Elizabeth Warren,

1277
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:04,760
Speaker 1: they're so desperate to believe that she's not a fake

1278
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 1: Native American, which is what she is. That their initial

1279
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:11,800
Speaker 1: reporting was like, now she has the numbers, Now she

1280
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 1: can back up if we've played it for you. What

1281
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:17,639
Speaker 1: kind of a moron thinks that being one, one thou

1282
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:22,559
Speaker 1: and twenty fourth Native American substantiates the claim to be

1283
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:26,479
Speaker 1: a Native American. People at CNN who are on air,

1284
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 1: they think that they're smart. They're not smart. They're lucky,

1285
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:34,639
Speaker 1: and they're lackeys, and they do what they're told, but

1286
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:40,280
Speaker 1: they're not clever. And you know, this is one of

1287
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:43,640
Speaker 1: these issues where you just see how desperate and pathetic

1288
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 1: many of the Democrats are to try and create this

1289
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 1: mirage that this Candida Elizabeth Warren is somebody that anybody

1290
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 1: should should want to vote for. But you know, so

1291
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:59,639
Speaker 1: that montage, I just I love it. I mean, CNN

1292
01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 1: the day of the initial drop on the DNA, you know,

1293
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:11,519
Speaker 1: they really were trying to trying to create this set

1294
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:14,200
Speaker 1: the narrative thing of yeah, you know, she proved it,

1295
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:17,600
Speaker 1: she's native American. Oh she proved it, all right, but

1296
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:21,720
Speaker 1: not in the way that they thought. But Ocazio Cortez,

1297
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:26,600
Speaker 1: AOC who is the the most famous and sort of

1298
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:30,720
Speaker 1: flavor of the moment politician of the Democratic Party right now.

1299
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 1: She is she is the by the way, I think

1300
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 1: they would have her run for president if she was

1301
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 1: old enough. She's constitutionally barred because of her age. I

1302
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:41,439
Speaker 1: think that they would they think that she should be president.

1303
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:45,880
Speaker 1: That just tells you how unbelievably un serious the Democrats

1304
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 1: are on policy matters. You know, they pretend to care

1305
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 1: about how to you know, bring down the costs of

1306
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:55,960
Speaker 1: prescription drugs and healthcare and in an adult way to

1307
01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 1: have serious conversations. But they want Elizabeth I'm sorry, well

1308
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warrent too, but they want Okazio Cortes to be

1309
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:07,479
Speaker 1: the person who is the commander in chief. This is

1310
01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 1: just whacko. But here is Okazio Cortez on Warren's claims

1311
01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:19,880
Speaker 1: to be Native American. This is this is quite a

1312
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 1: sound bite we have for you. Just really let this

1313
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 1: one speak for itself. Play five. That takes me to

1314
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren. She's never lied about anything, but there's been

1315
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:33,559
Speaker 1: some she doesn't seem to have given us the fullest

1316
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 1: answer yet. Wait pause, and there's a lot of people

1317
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:41,000
Speaker 1: she's lied. Okay, Chuck Todd starts off. I mean, Chuck

1318
01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:42,760
Speaker 1: Todd is a little hack for the left, and you

1319
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:44,799
Speaker 1: know he's he's a he's just kind of a weasley

1320
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 1: little guy who is in the right place at the

1321
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 1: right time and has this big platform in this job.

1322
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 1: But it's not somebody that is impressive or charming or anything.

1323
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:57,800
Speaker 1: But I just love how well she's never lied. No no, no,

1324
01:20:57,800 --> 01:20:59,920
Speaker 1: no no, to claim your Native American when you're not

1325
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 1: is a lie. That is a lie. She is a liar,

1326
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:08,120
Speaker 1: she is a fraud. So he starts off this whole

1327
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:13,800
Speaker 1: exchange with a false a false statement. But continue on, please, John,

1328
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 1: offended by cultural appropriation? Where are you on this? And

1329
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:19,720
Speaker 1: what do you think she should do that she hasn't? Well,

1330
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: I think there's two ways to talk about it. So

1331
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 1: one is and again we can use and still have

1332
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 1: an opportunity. I think here in this situation, I think

1333
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 1: there's still an opportunity to model what the correct way

1334
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:37,560
Speaker 1: of navigating these waters look like. And so for example,

1335
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:43,759
Speaker 1: I'm I'm Latina and Latino Americans have a really interesting

1336
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 1: identity because, especially for me as a Puerto Rican woman,

1337
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 1: my identity is the descendant of many different identities. I

1338
01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 1: can tell the story of my ancestors. That doesn't mean

1339
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:03,800
Speaker 1: that I am that. You know, I got a couple

1340
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:05,920
Speaker 1: of things, a couple of different ways to talk about

1341
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 1: the couple of different ways of Kazer Cortez wants to

1342
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:11,599
Speaker 1: handle a very you know, a pretty straightforward question from

1343
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 1: Chuck Todd. First off, its notice how she has this

1344
01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:19,080
Speaker 1: tendency to talk her way around the issue at some

1345
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:22,559
Speaker 1: length before really getting to say anything. And I think

1346
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:27,840
Speaker 1: it's often because she has she has learned certain certain

1347
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:32,760
Speaker 1: rhythms and phraseology from the social justice left that that

1348
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:37,520
Speaker 1: is effectively a placeholder for for actual thinking or actual communication.

1349
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:40,600
Speaker 1: As she figures out what she's going to say, she

1350
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 1: tends to find her way into what she's saying instead

1351
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:47,360
Speaker 1: of just getting to an answer, which I'm just talking about.

1352
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: This is the person that Democrat think should run the country.

1353
01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm deeply unimpressed. It's all very superficial and very

1354
01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 1: much She's essentially the She's like the the Kim Kardashian

1355
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 1: of politics. That's what this person is. You know, has

1356
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:08,720
Speaker 1: an appearance and a presence and a persona that appeals

1357
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:17,240
Speaker 1: to the millennial Instagram obsessed generation, and the media and

1358
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 1: the boomers who control the media see that and are

1359
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:23,280
Speaker 1: all impressed by it and go, oh, this is the

1360
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:25,320
Speaker 1: new hot, this is the new hot, you know, flavor

1361
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 1: of the month situation. And that's why we have this

1362
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 1: person now that's being treated like she has serious policy ideas.

1363
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean her the Green New Deal is laughable. I mean,

1364
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 1: it actually is funny. It's so dumb and so bizarre

1365
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 1: that you do find yourself laughing at it, but also

1366
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 1: I think it's just because she talks about her background

1367
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:48,200
Speaker 1: and her identity, and you know, Puerto Ricans. I actually

1368
01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 1: just interview the governor of Puerto Rico, I think a

1369
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:52,640
Speaker 1: few days ago, and you talk about they want to

1370
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:54,160
Speaker 1: be and I think they will become a state. I

1371
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:57,280
Speaker 1: would note I think that that's likely to I think

1372
01:23:57,320 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 1: that's likely to happen, which could have interesting implications for

1373
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:04,080
Speaker 1: some upcoming presidential stuff. I don't think it will happen

1374
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:06,080
Speaker 1: in time for this election, but you know, going forward,

1375
01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 1: it might might be something that we have to pay

1376
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:12,640
Speaker 1: attention to. You know. But her last name Akazio Cortes.

1377
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:16,559
Speaker 1: I've spoken to you at some length on the show

1378
01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 1: before about how Cortez was, in many ways the most

1379
01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:27,360
Speaker 1: incredible military campaign ever waged in known history. That Cortez

1380
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 1: could show up in southern Mexico, will really make his

1381
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:35,000
Speaker 1: way from Cuba and then make his way to southern

1382
01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:41,479
Speaker 1: Mexico and up the the Yucatan Peninsula and make make

1383
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:47,680
Speaker 1: his way up against an army of hundreds of thousands

1384
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:52,560
Speaker 1: and a nation, the Aztec Nation and its its tributaries

1385
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:57,240
Speaker 1: and and slave states of a few million. In win,

1386
01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:01,320
Speaker 1: It's an incredible thing. But he was vicious and brutal,

1387
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:06,559
Speaker 1: and you know it was he was a conqueror, and

1388
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 1: he led the conquest of Latin America. What I think

1389
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:13,600
Speaker 1: is so interesting is we never have to have any accounting.

1390
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:16,800
Speaker 1: You know, when people talk about Latin American identity, they

1391
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:21,920
Speaker 1: always appropriate, if you will, look at that the natives

1392
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:25,600
Speaker 1: within these within these countries, so that the native population

1393
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 1: of Mexico, of Mexico, the native population of South America,

1394
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:34,479
Speaker 1: or the Caribbean that was either displaced or those that

1395
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 1: were brought here in servitude in slavery. But what about

1396
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 1: the background of the history of these countries that involves

1397
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 1: the eradication of the natives, which is what happened in

1398
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:49,840
Speaker 1: many of these countries, the elimination of the Incas by

1399
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 1: a Spaniard, the elimination of the Aztecs by a Spaniard.

1400
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 1: You know that. I just think it's interesting that that

1401
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 1: never gets talked about. But when when people are speaking

1402
01:25:59,439 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 1: about the oppression of certain groups, and they'll throw native

1403
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:10,200
Speaker 1: peoples in there, they'll talk about Mexican identity, for example,

1404
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 1: as though it's only in the context of being oppressed.

1405
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:19,479
Speaker 1: Mexican identity is actually very much tied into or Mexican

1406
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:21,760
Speaker 1: national identity in history, is very much tied up in

1407
01:26:22,240 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 1: being the oppressor in fact. But you know that this

1408
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 1: is the complexities of identity or something I'm happy to

1409
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:32,120
Speaker 1: discuss with the left, but they always for them, it's

1410
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:36,400
Speaker 1: just always white, male, Anglo Saxon American is the is

1411
01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:40,559
Speaker 1: the ultimate oppressor. And there's really no other oppressor that

1412
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 1: we need to discuss, and there's no other identity that

1413
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 1: we need to constantly be criticizing, tearing down, pulling apart.

1414
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:53,439
Speaker 1: So that's why people like Warren try to take the

1415
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:56,680
Speaker 1: identities of other people because it's more advantageous for them

1416
01:26:56,720 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 1: to do so. It's quite obvious. Less than a week

1437
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 1: I think the walls are closing in on the whole

1438
01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:11,680
Speaker 1: Jessie Smollett fiasco. Remember I've been talking about this from

1439
01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:14,840
Speaker 1: the very beginning. This is the actor from the show

1440
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 1: Empire who claimed that he was attacked by two guys

1441
01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:24,040
Speaker 1: yelling that in Chicago that this is Maga Country. They

1442
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 1: threw in indetermined or undetermined, indetermined, undetermined whatever liquid on

1443
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:34,439
Speaker 1: Smollett's face. And punched him once and put a noose

1444
01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:37,960
Speaker 1: around his neck, did not tighten it, and then and

1445
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:40,800
Speaker 1: then left him. And this happened all in sixty seconds,

1446
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:44,880
Speaker 1: and there's no video evidence on a surveillance camera of it,

1447
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:46,840
Speaker 1: even though there were surveillance cameras in the area. Just

1448
01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:49,680
Speaker 1: so happened to be out of the view of the

1449
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:52,840
Speaker 1: cameras when this apparently happened. And he also did not

1450
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 1: lose his phone or the sandwich that he bought. So

1451
01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:02,960
Speaker 1: it's strange, you say the least. Well, we have a

1452
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 1: little update for you, Jesse Smollett. According to CBS here

1453
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:08,320
Speaker 1: is back in Chicago on the set of Empire, or

1454
01:29:08,320 --> 01:29:13,599
Speaker 1: his show, But we are being told that police say

1455
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 1: they're trying to determine the origin of the rope that

1456
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:23,599
Speaker 1: was used in the alleged attack. Detectives are looking into

1457
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:26,280
Speaker 1: where it came from or where it may have been purchased.

1458
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:30,080
Speaker 1: A Chicago police official who has viewed tapes says there

1459
01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:32,880
Speaker 1: is video from inside the building where Small It lives

1460
01:29:33,560 --> 01:29:36,320
Speaker 1: showing the actor entering with what appears to be a

1461
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 1: noose around his neck. Police say they're still falling up

1462
01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:42,200
Speaker 1: on leads but have nothing to report from the additional

1463
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:45,240
Speaker 1: video over the weekend, and they have not released or

1464
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:48,400
Speaker 1: release surveillance images rather of two people, but have been

1465
01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:55,439
Speaker 1: unable to identify them. This, this is going to all

1466
01:29:55,479 --> 01:29:59,400
Speaker 1: come crashing down. I'm pretty confident in that. Again, I

1467
01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:01,559
Speaker 1: can't tell you, Like I said, I think I'm ninety

1468
01:30:01,640 --> 01:30:06,000
Speaker 1: percent sure here that this is it's he certainly is

1469
01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:10,639
Speaker 1: acting strangely about it. I think it's likely to all

1470
01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:13,960
Speaker 1: just come apart. But there'll be no consequences for him.

1471
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:15,760
Speaker 1: I know the police have said that there will be

1472
01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:19,120
Speaker 1: there will be consequences if it in fact he filed

1473
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:22,280
Speaker 1: the false report. I don't believe that. I don't believe

1474
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:28,080
Speaker 1: that because increasingly the way that stories like this get covered,

1475
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:30,320
Speaker 1: whether it's a story about a hate crime. But but

1476
01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:35,840
Speaker 1: anytime we are now asked to assess, remember, this is

1477
01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:38,599
Speaker 1: a pretty minor local crime story. Really, it just happens

1478
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 1: to involve a celebrity who is black, who who is gay,

1479
01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:46,240
Speaker 1: and who claims that he was attacked by Trump supporters.

1480
01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:49,040
Speaker 1: But in terms of what actually happened here, I mean,

1481
01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:50,880
Speaker 1: this is a simple assault. I mean, this is not

1482
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:54,400
Speaker 1: If you take the narrative of the hate crime out

1483
01:30:54,439 --> 01:30:56,280
Speaker 1: of this, this would by no means to be a

1484
01:30:56,360 --> 01:31:00,719
Speaker 1: national news story. But we're always being told to assess

1485
01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:06,680
Speaker 1: these things through the lens of politics. And what you

1486
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:10,559
Speaker 1: see with that is that there's a motivation, there's a

1487
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:13,680
Speaker 1: reason that people want us to take that approach to it,

1488
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:20,439
Speaker 1: because they're supposed to be some feeling that we all

1489
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:24,840
Speaker 1: come away from this with. And in this case, of course,

1490
01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:29,360
Speaker 1: it's that Trump is making America angrier. Trump is making

1491
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:32,280
Speaker 1: America more racist, more intolerant in all this, and that's

1492
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:36,040
Speaker 1: that's why it's a major story. That's why the media

1493
01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:38,559
Speaker 1: covered this so much. You know, there are any number

1494
01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:41,479
Speaker 1: of hate crimes that occur across the country. I mean,

1495
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:44,920
Speaker 1: you know, hate crimes against Jews often barely get reported,

1496
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:48,559
Speaker 1: if at all, even in local media. The media finds

1497
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:52,759
Speaker 1: hate crimes that involve Trump, hate crimes against a Muslim,

1498
01:31:53,280 --> 01:31:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, hate crimes against against Black Americans, those are

1499
01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:01,280
Speaker 1: stories that they want to tell them by the way,

1500
01:32:01,320 --> 01:32:04,439
Speaker 1: they hate crimes against black Americans, that's a story the

1501
01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 1: media is particularly interested in only if it is a

1502
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:13,120
Speaker 1: white perpetrator, and a white perpetrator who is identifiable as

1503
01:32:13,120 --> 01:32:16,920
Speaker 1: a Republican or somebody who supports Trump. So you know,

1504
01:32:17,200 --> 01:32:20,760
Speaker 1: it's it's the politics and the political interests of the

1505
01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:25,560
Speaker 1: media that's determining what is considered newsworthy, and that's what

1506
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:29,400
Speaker 1: that's what you see with these hate crime stories like

1507
01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:32,800
Speaker 1: the Juse Smalllett situation, where it's because of how the

1508
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:37,040
Speaker 1: people in newsrooms in Chicago, New York, DCLA. It's because

1509
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:41,600
Speaker 1: of how they view the rest of the country and

1510
01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:45,920
Speaker 1: their own politics. That's what really matters as to whether

1511
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:47,920
Speaker 1: or not this is a national news story a local

1512
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:53,200
Speaker 1: news story, and it'll also turn into a non story

1513
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:56,880
Speaker 1: the moment that it does become clear that this is

1514
01:32:56,960 --> 01:33:00,320
Speaker 1: not If it's not provable, they'll walk away from it.

1515
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:02,280
Speaker 1: If it is provable that this was all a hoax,

1516
01:33:02,320 --> 01:33:04,439
Speaker 1: then they will run away from it. You know, there

1517
01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:08,839
Speaker 1: have been any number you look up hate crime hoax

1518
01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:14,599
Speaker 1: online and you'll see that there's a bizarre number of

1519
01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:18,800
Speaker 1: these supposed hate crimes that have occurred where when you

1520
01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:20,880
Speaker 1: really dig into it, you go hold on a second,

1521
01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:23,679
Speaker 1: the person that claimed that this terrible thing happened to them,

1522
01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:27,439
Speaker 1: they lied, they caused a huge dir but there's really

1523
01:33:27,560 --> 01:33:30,200
Speaker 1: rarely any condemnation of the person who has faked the

1524
01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:34,959
Speaker 1: whole thing. And even if they were initially threatening police

1525
01:33:35,280 --> 01:33:39,200
Speaker 1: action against the perpetrators. Sometimes they've lied about something. Sometimes

1526
01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:41,719
Speaker 1: somebody will get in trouble for and it initially who's

1527
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:44,040
Speaker 1: not the person. But we let all of this go.

1528
01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:48,000
Speaker 1: This is really damaging. We need to hold everyone to

1529
01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:52,800
Speaker 1: the same standards. All adult human beings need to be

1530
01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:55,880
Speaker 1: held to the same legal standards, need to be helmed,

1531
01:33:56,120 --> 01:34:01,400
Speaker 1: held to the same standards of social expectation and action.

1532
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:07,040
Speaker 1: We cannot fall into this mindset of judging people differently

1533
01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:12,040
Speaker 1: based upon where the left and its obsession with intersectionality

1534
01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:17,080
Speaker 1: places everyone on the hierarchy of victimization. You know, a

1535
01:34:17,800 --> 01:34:20,960
Speaker 1: black person, a white person, a Hispanic person, an Asian,

1536
01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, Native American, a fake Native American. I mean know,

1537
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:30,280
Speaker 1: everybody should be judged by the same standards, and I

1538
01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:33,519
Speaker 1: think that we lose an important part of our of

1539
01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:36,880
Speaker 1: our society when we accept that. Well, no, there's this

1540
01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:42,160
Speaker 1: sliding scale. You know, if you're from an oppressed group

1541
01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:47,680
Speaker 1: and you are talking about a hoax hate crime, and

1542
01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:49,880
Speaker 1: you make a hoax hate crime a national level issue

1543
01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:55,080
Speaker 1: even if it didn't happen, you're for the cause because

1544
01:34:55,080 --> 01:34:59,479
Speaker 1: you're raising awareness. So it's okay, that's not okay, and

1545
01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep filling up on this Jus Smollett story.

1546
01:35:02,200 --> 01:35:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm wondering where that rope came from. Liberty, truth and

1547
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:26,120
Speaker 1: great hair, feel those funky beats. It's time for roll call,

1548
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:30,400
Speaker 1: double roll call, because it's Friday, so we'll get two

1549
01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:35,400
Speaker 1: segments in here of the roll call. Man. I'm I'm

1550
01:35:35,439 --> 01:35:37,760
Speaker 1: a solo this weekend, so that means there's gonna be

1551
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 1: a lot of sleeping, a lot of cooking, and maybe

1552
01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:45,040
Speaker 1: maybe some going to the gym. But then again, when

1553
01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:47,720
Speaker 1: you wake up on a Saturday morning and you have

1554
01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:50,880
Speaker 1: that cup of coffee ready for you and the big

1555
01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:55,360
Speaker 1: couch and lots of Netflix to get to, sometimes the

1556
01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:58,960
Speaker 1: gym can be kind of a distant memory. That's all

1557
01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:00,519
Speaker 1: I can tell you. But I'm gonna try to get

1558
01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:03,120
Speaker 1: to it this weekend because I don't want you to

1559
01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:06,040
Speaker 1: have to listen to Jab of the Buck on the radio.

1560
01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:08,400
Speaker 1: And that's what will happen if I keep eating chocolate

1561
01:36:08,439 --> 01:36:13,000
Speaker 1: and don't work out. Carolyn first up in our role

1562
01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:19,200
Speaker 1: call session, This new Green Deal exposes a fundamental reality.

1563
01:36:19,560 --> 01:36:23,320
Speaker 1: The climate change issue is not about science or environmentalism.

1564
01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:29,920
Speaker 1: It is about socialism. Carolyn is this is true. The

1565
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:33,320
Speaker 1: climate change is about control, and climate change is about

1566
01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:36,840
Speaker 1: the control via the government by people who think that

1567
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:40,360
Speaker 1: if they are in charge of the government apparatus, our

1568
01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:44,400
Speaker 1: lives will all be better and we'll all be safer

1569
01:36:44,439 --> 01:36:47,320
Speaker 1: and happier and all the rest of it. History tells

1570
01:36:47,400 --> 01:36:50,960
Speaker 1: us that handing over that kind of authority that much,

1571
01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:55,840
Speaker 1: that much power to the government is a terrible idea.

1572
01:36:56,080 --> 01:37:01,880
Speaker 1: But the environmentalist types, the Greens, they are convinced that

1573
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:05,040
Speaker 1: this time around it will be better. And this reminds

1574
01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 1: me again of the moral equivalent of war argument which

1575
01:37:09,120 --> 01:37:13,000
Speaker 1: Corey Booker explicitly made today, which says, you know, look

1576
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:14,679
Speaker 1: at what we did. We fought the Nazis in World

1577
01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 1: War Two. What does that have to do with CO

1578
01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:21,960
Speaker 1: two emissions in the air? I want to live. I

1579
01:37:22,040 --> 01:37:25,240
Speaker 1: want my children and my children's children's children all the

1580
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 1: way down to live and have a beautiful planet to enjoy.

1581
01:37:29,640 --> 01:37:35,760
Speaker 1: That the Left is so comfortable thinking that I don't

1582
01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:39,760
Speaker 1: want those things. That's such an irrational thing for them

1583
01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:42,120
Speaker 1: to believe. For them to think that I am so

1584
01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:45,719
Speaker 1: irrational that I don't care about the planet or future

1585
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:51,200
Speaker 1: generations just proves how irrational they are. It makes no sense.

1586
01:37:52,160 --> 01:37:54,200
Speaker 1: It makes no sense at all. They think that we're

1587
01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:56,200
Speaker 1: not starting from the same premise that we all want

1588
01:37:56,240 --> 01:38:00,559
Speaker 1: the planet to survive. But look, you see, you see

1589
01:38:00,560 --> 01:38:03,040
Speaker 1: what we're dealing with this Democrat party. For two years

1590
01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:06,599
Speaker 1: they've been telling us, Oh, Trump is a liar, he's

1591
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:09,720
Speaker 1: so bad, he's so evil, he's sold out the country.

1592
01:38:10,040 --> 01:38:11,960
Speaker 1: And then we realize, oh wait, you're a bunch of

1593
01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:17,000
Speaker 1: crazy people, Democrats, You're a bunch of loons. I'm glad

1594
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:22,800
Speaker 1: that we've established that, Cheryl Rights. Thank you Buck for

1595
01:38:22,880 --> 01:38:26,520
Speaker 1: discussing this. I agree with your comments regarding the legalization

1596
01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:30,520
Speaker 1: of marijuana use in relation to alcohol use and prohibition.

1597
01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:34,519
Speaker 1: Living in California, where marijuana growth use is legal, I

1598
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 1: feel an urgency to get the fact out and be

1599
01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:39,040
Speaker 1: as diligent as possible with the truth about marijuana use

1600
01:38:39,120 --> 01:38:41,919
Speaker 1: and its effect on the brain. It is not harmless,

1601
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:44,439
Speaker 1: nor is it as beneficial medically as we are led

1602
01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:47,839
Speaker 1: to believe. The research mentioned in this Hillsdale article will clarify.

1603
01:38:47,960 --> 01:38:50,120
Speaker 1: Thank you for all you do. Yeah, Cheryl, look, it's

1604
01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:53,640
Speaker 1: a drug, and drugs have side effects, even drugs that

1605
01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:55,640
Speaker 1: you're well, A lot of drugs, as we all know

1606
01:38:55,800 --> 01:38:58,680
Speaker 1: that your doctor may prescribe for you could have all

1607
01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:02,800
Speaker 1: kinds of side effects. But you know, you take antibiotics

1608
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:05,519
Speaker 1: if you have a staff infection because you don't want

1609
01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:08,400
Speaker 1: to die. So even if there are some negative side

1610
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:13,400
Speaker 1: effects to intestinal health, to your gut flora, to you know,

1611
01:39:13,439 --> 01:39:16,519
Speaker 1: all kinds, and there are negative effects to antibiotics, and

1612
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:19,320
Speaker 1: people should be more familiar with them. You know. I

1613
01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:22,479
Speaker 1: was recently given antibiotics for a sinus infection. I did

1614
01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:24,519
Speaker 1: and I definitely had a sinus infection. I did not

1615
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:26,760
Speaker 1: take them because I thought that within a day or

1616
01:39:26,760 --> 01:39:28,720
Speaker 1: two I would start to trend better, and I did

1617
01:39:29,400 --> 01:39:32,280
Speaker 1: because I don't like taking antibiotics when you don't have

1618
01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:36,639
Speaker 1: to take them. So, because there's a lot of stuff

1619
01:39:36,640 --> 01:39:39,240
Speaker 1: that comes with it that you don't often get told

1620
01:39:40,120 --> 01:39:43,639
Speaker 1: by the medical community. Sometimes I'll tell you sometimes they don't,

1621
01:39:44,800 --> 01:39:47,519
Speaker 1: and that's for drugs that you need to take though,

1622
01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:50,920
Speaker 1: or that you that you are told to take. Marijuana

1623
01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:53,960
Speaker 1: obviously has side effects. One of them is that you

1624
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:57,679
Speaker 1: like to take lung naps and like eat a pound

1625
01:39:58,080 --> 01:40:01,840
Speaker 1: of skills becase's like the yellow in uraed mien. They

1626
01:40:01,960 --> 01:40:07,639
Speaker 1: do so good. Alice, writes hi Buck I thought i'd

1627
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:10,479
Speaker 1: weigh in on the current debacle in Virginia. My husband

1628
01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:12,720
Speaker 1: and I lived in Charlottesville for a brief time in

1629
01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:15,400
Speaker 1: the mid eighties. He had taken a job with a

1630
01:40:15,479 --> 01:40:17,600
Speaker 1: local radio station, which meant we were involved in a

1631
01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:20,600
Speaker 1: lot of public events, and I assure you, racism was

1632
01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:24,479
Speaker 1: alive and thriving in that state. An associate's wife was

1633
01:40:24,520 --> 01:40:27,519
Speaker 1: a dark skinned Puerto Rican, also a newcomer, and she

1634
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:30,960
Speaker 1: was warned to stay to the back of events that

1635
01:40:31,080 --> 01:40:34,160
Speaker 1: overt racism as well as the general atmosphere shocked these

1636
01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:36,640
Speaker 1: two Northern Yankees the beautiful state, but there was a

1637
01:40:36,720 --> 01:40:40,599
Speaker 1: very ugly undercurrent in those days. You know, Alice, it's

1638
01:40:40,640 --> 01:40:44,400
Speaker 1: true that we think of racism in this country as

1639
01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:49,840
Speaker 1: always a national issue. That is, I mean, it is

1640
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:52,320
Speaker 1: a national issue, but that it's a national issue to

1641
01:40:52,439 --> 01:40:57,160
Speaker 1: the same degree across the nation. And that's not accurate.

1642
01:40:57,360 --> 01:41:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean it's not accurate historically. It's not accurate anecdotally

1643
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:04,160
Speaker 1: or legally for that matter. And that's why you have

1644
01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:08,639
Speaker 1: Section five of the Voting Rights Act, which identified places,

1645
01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:10,880
Speaker 1: and some of them aren't not to a lot of

1646
01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:13,280
Speaker 1: people pick you know, go right at the South. They

1647
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:15,640
Speaker 1: pick on the South right away, and there's obviously the

1648
01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:17,720
Speaker 1: history of slavery in the South, so that's understandable. But

1649
01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:20,559
Speaker 1: there are other places in the country where there's been

1650
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:25,639
Speaker 1: a long history of racism. And I just also think

1651
01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:31,519
Speaker 1: that though, that we should understand more of racism as

1652
01:41:31,640 --> 01:41:37,320
Speaker 1: a as a general human failing that is a constant

1653
01:41:37,439 --> 01:41:42,080
Speaker 1: throughout history, is a constant around the world. Every society

1654
01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:45,040
Speaker 1: where there are people of different races, there is some

1655
01:41:45,800 --> 01:41:48,519
Speaker 1: sense of the other and some kind of racism. I mean,

1656
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:51,920
Speaker 1: it goes to our very basic sense of tribal identity.

1657
01:41:52,479 --> 01:41:56,600
Speaker 1: People who look more like you, because we are all animals.

1658
01:41:56,680 --> 01:42:01,840
Speaker 1: We are we have mammalian impulses and brain structures. People

1659
01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:05,880
Speaker 1: who look like you you're going to tend to associate with.

1660
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:09,000
Speaker 1: But we are human beings. We are not animals. So

1661
01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:13,400
Speaker 1: we also can understand free will and the divinity that

1662
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:16,480
Speaker 1: is president in all human beings, and therefore the equality

1663
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:19,720
Speaker 1: both in the eyes of God and any eyes of

1664
01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:24,160
Speaker 1: the law that is essential for any free and just society,

1665
01:42:24,840 --> 01:42:28,320
Speaker 1: irrespective of anyone's skin color. And I was reading a

1666
01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:33,920
Speaker 1: piece today that looked at the history of the slave

1667
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:38,920
Speaker 1: trade in East Africa, which does not get attention. You know,

1668
01:42:38,960 --> 01:42:41,000
Speaker 1: people don't ever talk about this. I've spent some time

1669
01:42:41,040 --> 01:42:49,880
Speaker 1: on this show discussing the Mediterranean slave trade, which fifteen hundred,

1670
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:56,960
Speaker 1: fourteen hundreds, thirteen hundreds was dominated by Muslims. The Muslims

1671
01:42:56,960 --> 01:43:00,759
Speaker 1: were slave traders, and in fact Muslims from North Africa

1672
01:43:00,800 --> 01:43:02,519
Speaker 1: and from the Barbary States. And this, by the way,

1673
01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:06,400
Speaker 1: continued all the way to the founding of America, and

1674
01:43:06,520 --> 01:43:10,000
Speaker 1: our first foreign war was fought against the Barbary pirates

1675
01:43:10,320 --> 01:43:15,360
Speaker 1: who were enslaving white European and American sailors on the

1676
01:43:15,439 --> 01:43:20,160
Speaker 1: high seas and putting them in minds where they would

1677
01:43:20,160 --> 01:43:22,320
Speaker 1: work them to death, and taking the women and putting

1678
01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:25,120
Speaker 1: them in harems where they were sex slaves. And this

1679
01:43:25,240 --> 01:43:29,599
Speaker 1: was done to two millions of white Europeans and white

1680
01:43:29,800 --> 01:43:34,640
Speaker 1: and white Americans over a period of a few centuries.

1681
01:43:34,760 --> 01:43:38,080
Speaker 1: And it was all the the Islamic slave trade that

1682
01:43:38,080 --> 01:43:40,040
Speaker 1: did this. This is just history. People. When I talk

1683
01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:41,600
Speaker 1: about this, people sometimes look at me like, oh, what

1684
01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:44,479
Speaker 1: do you you know it makes them uncomfortable. No, that's

1685
01:43:44,560 --> 01:43:47,759
Speaker 1: right for for a lot of people that have you know, taken,

1686
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:52,559
Speaker 1: for example, the names of you know, Islamic names because

1687
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:55,560
Speaker 1: they think that that's not the name that would associate

1688
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:58,000
Speaker 1: with the period of American slavery. For for African Americans

1689
01:43:58,040 --> 01:44:01,759
Speaker 1: in this country. I always think that's interesting because slave

1690
01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:06,080
Speaker 1: traders in the African continent there were many who were Muslim,

1691
01:44:06,120 --> 01:44:08,760
Speaker 1: and in fact, the Islamic slave trade was thriving. But

1692
01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:12,639
Speaker 1: there was an East African slave trade as well, where

1693
01:44:12,720 --> 01:44:17,719
Speaker 1: the Arab Arab traders established outposts on the east coast

1694
01:44:17,720 --> 01:44:23,759
Speaker 1: of Africa and then in collaboration with different tribes, African

1695
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:27,320
Speaker 1: tribes in Somalia and what is today Kenya all the

1696
01:44:27,360 --> 01:44:31,760
Speaker 1: way down to the island of Zanzibar, tribes wooden slave

1697
01:44:31,800 --> 01:44:35,960
Speaker 1: members of other tribes. Because slavery, we are taught to believe,

1698
01:44:36,280 --> 01:44:41,120
Speaker 1: or we are led to believe, is a system that

1699
01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:45,960
Speaker 1: is premised on racism. The American slave trade was a

1700
01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:49,640
Speaker 1: racist slave trade, but in fact, slavery exists all the

1701
01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:52,599
Speaker 1: way back to Biblical times. The Jews were the slaves

1702
01:44:52,600 --> 01:44:56,760
Speaker 1: of the Pharaohs. In Roman times, conquered tribes were slaves.

1703
01:44:57,200 --> 01:45:01,120
Speaker 1: The Greeks had a slave class that included people who

1704
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:04,599
Speaker 1: were ethnic Greeks. I mean, you know, so slavery as

1705
01:45:04,640 --> 01:45:08,719
Speaker 1: an institution human exploitation and the treatment of human beings

1706
01:45:08,720 --> 01:45:15,000
Speaker 1: as property. It goes beyond a racial underpinning, although it

1707
01:45:15,040 --> 01:45:19,519
Speaker 1: can be racial. And obviously the American slave trade was racial,

1708
01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:22,400
Speaker 1: but the East African slave trade involved a lot of

1709
01:45:22,439 --> 01:45:28,599
Speaker 1: Arabs working with black Africans to transport other tribes more

1710
01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:33,400
Speaker 1: toward the African interior into the slave markets in the

1711
01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:37,439
Speaker 1: Arab world, but also in South Asia and India. And

1712
01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:43,040
Speaker 1: this is why that part of Africa, Somalia, Kenya, what's

1713
01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:47,280
Speaker 1: generally referred to as the Horn of Africa. There's if

1714
01:45:47,280 --> 01:45:49,320
Speaker 1: you look at it, there's a lot of cultural crossover

1715
01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:52,439
Speaker 1: between the Arab world and the African world. And that's

1716
01:45:52,439 --> 01:45:57,000
Speaker 1: also why you have Islam is the predominant religion. It's

1717
01:45:57,200 --> 01:46:01,439
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent, I believe, of Somalia, and that's a

1718
01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:04,320
Speaker 1: legacy of the slave trade there and the slave traders

1719
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:09,320
Speaker 1: from the Arabian peninsula. So there's just much more interesting

1720
01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:13,439
Speaker 1: historical complexities issues than you'll generally get. Swahili comes from

1721
01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:18,240
Speaker 1: the word sile, which means coastal dweller. Fun fact, all right,

1722
01:46:18,360 --> 01:46:21,040
Speaker 1: more roll call coming up in a minute. All right,

1723
01:46:21,160 --> 01:46:25,280
Speaker 1: back into roll call, David writes, Hey, Buck, interesting talk

1724
01:46:25,280 --> 01:46:28,120
Speaker 1: going around from the innards of VA politics. The consensus

1725
01:46:28,240 --> 01:46:32,000
Speaker 1: is it's better for Republicans if all three stay Democrats

1726
01:46:32,040 --> 01:46:34,040
Speaker 1: have run out of people asking them to resign on

1727
01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:36,759
Speaker 1: the local and state level who they turned to after

1728
01:46:36,800 --> 01:46:41,240
Speaker 1: that Obama? This is the craziest thing I've ever seen, David,

1729
01:46:41,240 --> 01:46:44,000
Speaker 1: I agree it is. It is crazy. But I also

1730
01:46:44,080 --> 01:46:48,480
Speaker 1: think that the Democrat Party is suffering from a crisis

1731
01:46:48,600 --> 01:46:53,880
Speaker 1: of hypocrisy and double standards. And it's because the standards

1732
01:46:53,920 --> 01:47:01,439
Speaker 1: that the aggressive progressive left enforces against public ends they

1733
01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:04,240
Speaker 1: can't be applied to the left as well, because they're

1734
01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:06,800
Speaker 1: going to have this kind of problem, right they if

1735
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:10,160
Speaker 1: anything that you've done in your past that's controversial or

1736
01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:13,080
Speaker 1: racist or whatever, even if it was thirty or forty

1737
01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:15,920
Speaker 1: years ago, if that's going to now prevent you from

1738
01:47:15,960 --> 01:47:19,640
Speaker 1: being a public figure in public life. I think we

1739
01:47:19,680 --> 01:47:21,880
Speaker 1: could live with that on the right, but the left

1740
01:47:21,880 --> 01:47:24,200
Speaker 1: can't live with that. They have plenty of people you

1741
01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:25,640
Speaker 1: look at look at some of the people that the

1742
01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:30,360
Speaker 1: left has elevated in recent years despite their backgrounds, people

1743
01:47:30,560 --> 01:47:35,040
Speaker 1: like Teddy Kennedy who killed a woman. People like Senator

1744
01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:38,439
Speaker 1: Byrd who is a member of the ku Klux Klan Okay,

1745
01:47:38,479 --> 01:47:40,360
Speaker 1: that guy was a klansman, and he was a sitting

1746
01:47:40,840 --> 01:47:44,519
Speaker 1: senator for decades and Democrats loved him and thought he

1747
01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:49,599
Speaker 1: was fantastic. So you know, they like to create these

1748
01:47:50,479 --> 01:47:53,840
Speaker 1: rules only for our side. And then in the era

1749
01:47:53,920 --> 01:47:56,679
Speaker 1: of the Internet, where we can tell when they said

1750
01:47:56,680 --> 01:47:59,080
Speaker 1: something different a month ago or six months ago than

1751
01:47:59,080 --> 01:48:01,320
Speaker 1: they're saying now, it's just hard for them to get

1752
01:48:01,320 --> 01:48:04,680
Speaker 1: away with the hypocrisy. But they're gonna all three of

1753
01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:06,720
Speaker 1: these guys in Virginia, you're gonna stay. All three of

1754
01:48:06,720 --> 01:48:08,439
Speaker 1: them are gonna stay. I don't think a single one

1755
01:48:08,439 --> 01:48:10,640
Speaker 1: of them is going to step down. And they're all

1756
01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:12,479
Speaker 1: gonna point at the others and say, well, if he's

1757
01:48:12,520 --> 01:48:15,120
Speaker 1: not going, why should I go? And you don't want

1758
01:48:15,160 --> 01:48:19,439
Speaker 1: that big, mean Republican to take our place. Tim writes,

1759
01:48:19,920 --> 01:48:24,759
Speaker 1: respect to the caller Tony. I will listen to his show,

1760
01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:31,800
Speaker 1: all right, Tim, Well there you go, very cool? Will right?

1761
01:48:32,520 --> 01:48:34,800
Speaker 1: You see about the MS thirteen guy killed someone on

1762
01:48:34,840 --> 01:48:37,559
Speaker 1: the platform on the seven train in Queens Will I

1763
01:48:37,640 --> 01:48:41,479
Speaker 1: did see that, and you know, it's a really disturbing video.

1764
01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:45,240
Speaker 1: And I just wish that the left would stop pretending

1765
01:48:45,280 --> 01:48:49,919
Speaker 1: like there there is no problem of violence from illegal

1766
01:48:50,120 --> 01:48:52,400
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants you know, I just wish that they would

1767
01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:55,240
Speaker 1: be a little bit more honest. Although whenever I said

1768
01:48:55,240 --> 01:48:57,080
Speaker 1: that I wish they'd be more honest, well, we know

1769
01:48:57,120 --> 01:49:01,639
Speaker 1: they won't be, so maybe I should stop wishing. And hey, Buck,

1770
01:49:01,640 --> 01:49:08,120
Speaker 1: do you think it's possible that dinosaurs farted too much? Van?

1771
01:49:10,120 --> 01:49:16,519
Speaker 1: I don't know, but dinosaur probably dinosaur flatulence I'm sure

1772
01:49:16,760 --> 01:49:22,080
Speaker 1: was quite a sight to smell or behold or whatever.

1773
01:49:22,680 --> 01:49:26,479
Speaker 1: But I get your point about how o'cazio Quartez really

1774
01:49:26,479 --> 01:49:28,240
Speaker 1: does want to deal with cow farts. You know, I've

1775
01:49:28,240 --> 01:49:30,040
Speaker 1: brought that up in the past, and people have said

1776
01:49:30,080 --> 01:49:32,599
Speaker 1: to me. Liberal friends of mine have said, oh, nobody's

1777
01:49:32,640 --> 01:49:37,439
Speaker 1: worried about cow farts and methane. I say, ah, they are.

1778
01:49:38,200 --> 01:49:42,280
Speaker 1: They are worried about cow farts and methane. John, right, Buck,

1779
01:49:42,320 --> 01:49:45,680
Speaker 1: All these people love and want government funded healthcare. Have

1780
01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:48,639
Speaker 1: them talk to a vet about the VA. Well, John,

1781
01:49:48,640 --> 01:49:52,479
Speaker 1: you know it's even worse than that, because the VA

1782
01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:57,600
Speaker 1: delivers healthcare for under ten million Americans. I forget the

1783
01:49:57,720 --> 01:49:59,799
Speaker 1: full now, I think it's six or seven million Americans

1784
01:49:59,800 --> 01:50:01,840
Speaker 1: something thing like that get to get their healthcare from

1785
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:06,280
Speaker 1: the VA. That's a very small, overall, very small piece

1786
01:50:06,320 --> 01:50:10,639
Speaker 1: of the US population. And remember that veterans are also

1787
01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:15,439
Speaker 1: a politically protected class, whereas your average citizen in this

1788
01:50:15,560 --> 01:50:20,200
Speaker 1: country doesn't have the same sentiment about, oh, well, you know,

1789
01:50:20,320 --> 01:50:23,200
Speaker 1: you're owed healthcare the way that veterans, you know, as

1790
01:50:23,240 --> 01:50:26,320
Speaker 1: part of the compact with the government for serving this country,

1791
01:50:26,600 --> 01:50:29,000
Speaker 1: they are owed that healthcare by the VA. You know,

1792
01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:31,639
Speaker 1: this is a debt that the American people pay back

1793
01:50:31,680 --> 01:50:34,720
Speaker 1: to veterans. Whereas if you're just in every day, run

1794
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:38,920
Speaker 1: of the mill Joe Schmo or you know, Jesse Schmo

1795
01:50:39,080 --> 01:50:42,160
Speaker 1: or something, or what would be the Joe female, Josephine Schmo.

1796
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:47,759
Speaker 1: Josephine Schmo sounds fancy like she wears fancy hats to luncheons.

1797
01:50:48,560 --> 01:50:50,439
Speaker 1: But if you were one of those people, you don't

1798
01:50:50,479 --> 01:50:55,320
Speaker 1: have the same political power behind you. And also, obviously

1799
01:50:55,320 --> 01:51:00,400
Speaker 1: it'll be much more diffuse any outrage over coming. So

1800
01:51:00,439 --> 01:51:02,519
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say is they can't even rep

1801
01:51:02,600 --> 01:51:04,880
Speaker 1: whatever the VA doesn't do well enough, and all the

1802
01:51:04,920 --> 01:51:08,280
Speaker 1: shortcomings of the VA, those would only be magnified if

1803
01:51:08,280 --> 01:51:10,839
Speaker 1: you expanded out the population of people that are covered

1804
01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:16,080
Speaker 1: under a VA like system. Doug writes Buck in response

1805
01:51:16,120 --> 01:51:19,240
Speaker 1: the listener asking about how AOC got funded. She was

1806
01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:23,680
Speaker 1: put forward originally by Brand New Congress, which formed out

1807
01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:26,400
Speaker 1: of the remains of the twenty sixteen Bernie campaign. She

1808
01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:29,439
Speaker 1: was already an activist, so they knew her. I don't

1809
01:51:29,439 --> 01:51:31,880
Speaker 1: know how much further the trail goes, but that is

1810
01:51:31,920 --> 01:51:37,080
Speaker 1: where it starts. Shields High, Doug, Doug, I'll take your

1811
01:51:37,120 --> 01:51:39,320
Speaker 1: word for it. You think no more than I do

1812
01:51:39,360 --> 01:51:41,160
Speaker 1: on this issue. I didn't know about this Brand New

1813
01:51:41,200 --> 01:51:45,880
Speaker 1: Congress group, but I do know where AOC is from

1814
01:51:45,880 --> 01:51:48,320

Speaker 1: under the covers and hide from all the stuff I

1824
01:52:16,080 --> 01:52:18,400
Speaker 1: gotta do. Oh, But then all of a sudden, I

1825
01:52:18,479 --> 01:52:21,480
Speaker 1: realize I'm an American who loves freedom and has responsibilities

1826
01:52:21,520 --> 01:52:23,840
Speaker 1: and has to get his butt into gear and get

1827
01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:27,840
Speaker 1: it done. That's why I drink Black Rifle Coffee. That's right,
