Buck Sexton, thank you for 11 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: calling the White House. Unfortunately, we cannot answer your call 12 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: today because Congressional Democrats are holding government funding, including funding 13 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: for our troops and other national security priorities hostage to 14 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: an unrelated immigration to be due to the substruction. The 15 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: government is shut down. In the meantime, you can leave 16 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,919 Speaker 1: a comment for the President at www dot white House, 17 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: dot go forward slash contact it taking your calls as 18 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: soon as the government reopened.

That was on the White House voicemail system 20 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: during the now already over government shutdown. But that is 21 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: a snapshot of why this ended the way that it 22 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: did the Democrats cave? Why would the Democrats cave? Well, 23 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: because there plan going into this was we're going to 24 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: win the public debate. We're going to be the ones 25 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: that are able to convince the American people that it's 26 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: the Republicans fault even though we're doing it. This was 27 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: Democrats burglarizing a house, so to speak, and screaming about 28 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: how other people are stealing stuff while they go through 29 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: the window. It could not have been more clear that 30 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: this was on the Democrats. But they assumed, with the 31 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: help of the media, and in no small part because 32 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: of hashtag resistance to Trump, Trump derangement syndrome, and let's 33 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: be honest, a lack of some degree of civics knowledge, 34 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: and the Democrat and general public, that they could come 35 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: out on top of this whole fiasco. And yet that 36 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: was not the case. Here's Chuck Schumer who had to 37 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: go out there and tell people that, sure enough, the 38 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: Senate voted to reopen the government. I've been having conversations 39 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: with the Republican leader over the weekend about a path forward. 40 00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: After several discussions offers counter offers, the Republican Leader and 41 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: I have come to an arrangement we will vote today 42 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: to reopen the government to continue notion negotiating a global agreement, 43 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: with the commitment that if an agreement isn't reached by 44 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: February the eight the Senate will immediately proceed to consideration 45 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: of legislation dealing with DOCTA. There you have it from 46 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer himself. Eighteen. The vote was held in the 47 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: Senate and the government is on its way to being 48 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: open again if there's a few more procedural steps. But 49 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: you know who cares. The Senate was the problem. A 50 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: breathtaking step of arrogance here from Democrats thinking that they 51 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: could filipbuster, filibuster a budgetary measure and still convince people 52 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: that it wasn't they're doing right. And that was where 53 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: this all just was too much. And I would note 54 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: that I think Trump was the X factor here. Trump 55 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: got out there on Twitter. Trump was saying how they're 56 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: putting citizens above non citizens. Mike Pence making the case 57 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: in in very effective terms during the course of this 58 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: shutdown that this was the Democrats prioritizing illegal aliens. And 59 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: I love it when Democrats challenge me on that they're 60 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: not a legal aliens, they're dreamers. Well, actually, the technical 61 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: legal term is a legal alien. Dreamers is a made 62 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: up pr term. But Mike Pence pointed out that there 63 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: was a very clear choice being made here by the Democrats. 64 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: On the one hand, you had illegal aliens, on the 65 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: other you had funding for our military. I'm sure you're 66 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: all aware of what's going on in DESPI Artist's support 67 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: for West Resolutions, decided to play politics with military tam 68 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,799 Speaker 1: you and you're shouldn't have to worry for one minute 69 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: about whether you're gonna get paid uniform in the United States. 70 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: Your president, your vice president, and the American people are 71 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: not going to put up with it. So there you 72 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: have it, laying it down. Won this fight because Trump 73 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: and his top people know that this is a political 74 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: street fight. That the Democrats aren't doing this out of 75 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: some noble conception of what we owe to dreamers, and 76 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: that's all just that's all just part of the propaganda 77 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: you see for the Democrat Party. The issue of DACA 78 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: Deferred Action for childt arrivals. He is really just the 79 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: first step to amnesty, and a critical one. In fact, 80 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: DACCA would likely give the Democrats a momentum that would 81 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: make full on amnesty inevitable absent very clear steps by 82 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: the government on enforcement, on building a wall, e verify, 83 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: there's a whole list that I've been talking to you about, 84 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: and even then we'd have to hold them to account 85 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: and be careful about what the future holds. But just 86 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: DACA with a little bit more funding for already existing 87 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: border patrol measures and immigrations and customs enforcement is a joke. 88 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: It's not going to do anything. In fact, you can 89 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: already see there has been a surge in illegal crossings 90 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: at the border. Gas people say part of this is 91 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: driven by the economy, right, but I mean technically, I 92 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: think you can buy bitcoin anywhere in the world, right, 93 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: so there's there's ways to get it on the economy 94 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: no matter where you are. Um, that's changing very rapidly. 95 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: Kind of kidding there about bitcoin. But the truth is 96 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: that many people realize that you want to be here 97 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: before many illegals realize that you want to be in 98 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: the country before the amnesty, because then you're gonna be 99 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: part of the next wave. You'll be an addendum to DACA. 100 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: You'll be not just DAPPA, but then it will be 101 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: deferred action for really nice people who are part of 102 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: the American Dream, whatever that acronym is, because that's what 103 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: the Democrats are gonna say until they get to the 104 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: eleven million, and this is what matters to them, the 105 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: eleven million people who would be permanent residents on their 106 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: way to getting citizenship. Remember the citizenship component of it. 107 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: You could say they won't be citizens, but Democrats will 108 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: continue to fight until they make them citizens. Right, they'll 109 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: make sure that the pathway that would be open to 110 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: them once permanent residency occurs for a legal aliens, they'll 111 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: make sure that there's a pathway to citizenship because then 112 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: Democrats win on every issue. If you think about this 113 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: in terms of just oh, they're trying to they're trying 114 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: to do this for the base. This is about getting 115 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,679 Speaker 1: enthusiasm going from the left wing for the mid terms, 116 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: you're missing, I think the bigger picture. You're missing what's 117 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: really at stake. If they win on amnesty. If the 118 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: Democrats went on amnesty, they view it as they will 119 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: then win on everything else. Amnesty leads to abortion on demand, 120 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: always and forever. Because of the way the legislative and 121 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: electoral because of the implications for our legislative system and 122 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: the electoral college, they will win on the size of government. 123 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: They will win on border security, they will win on socialism. 124 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: They will win and win and win. You might even 125 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 1: say they will get tired of winning at some point. 126 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: They just have to win on this. They are changing 127 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: the American electorate. Now people would say, bark, but can't 128 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: we if you brought in, if you brought in these 129 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: illegal or not brought them in, if you legalize these 130 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: illegals and gave them citizenship, can't conservatives make the case 131 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: about limited government. Can't we give them, you know, some 132 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: copies of the Road to Serfdom and maybe some some 133 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: hyak and uh that is highk but some Milton Friedman, 134 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: can't we do that? You know? And them bossiots the 135 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: law see if they read that and take some important 136 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: important notes about what governments should really be all about. 137 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: And like the answer is, well, you're gonna have a 138 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: whole group of people that understandably and largely correctly attribute 139 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: their permanent status a very valuable and precious thing, attribute 140 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: their status to the Democrat Party. You will have generations 141 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: of then Latino Americans currently illegal aliens who would be 142 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: voting for the Democratic Party out of a sense of 143 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: fealty and obligation, and I'm not gonna say that. I 144 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: can't understand where that comes from, because the Democrats would 145 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: have said, forget about the law we were going to 146 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: We're going to change the law specifically for you. They're 147 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: not changing the law for everybody. There's still an immigration system, 148 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: there's still all kinds of hurdles and challenges in place 149 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: for people that want to come in legally. But we 150 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: are talking overwhelmingly about immigration from Latin America and specifically 151 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: from Mexico. The Mexico accounts for something along the lines 152 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: of seventy or eight percent of the illegal immigrant population 153 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: the country right now, it's call it roughly, So that's 154 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: what's really going on here. This is not a diverse 155 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: population of illegals. That's not That's not what's that issue. 156 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 1: You're talking primarily and predominantly about Mexican illegal immigration in 157 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: the United States and all of the cultural and political 158 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: changes that that would bring with it. If there was 159 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: an across the board legalization. It is an all all 160 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: in issue for the Democrat Party. If they went on this, 161 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: they went on everything else. That's why that's why you 162 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: get Chuck Schumer trying to do this. I yeah. I 163 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: think that they, uh. I think that they overplayed their hand, 164 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: or or maybe just poorly played their hand. I think 165 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: that they were overestimating their ability to make the case 166 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: because they don't have some Republican who's afraid of his 167 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: shadow in office right now. They don't have a moderate 168 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: Gail Pier who's going to be sitting in the White 169 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: House saying you know, yeah, you know, maybe maybe the 170 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: media can just lie about this as much as they want. 171 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: I think that Trump has been an important next factor 172 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: in all this. We've got to talk more about what 173 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: happens next, though, because this is just a delay. It's 174 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: really what I told you was gonna happen all along. 175 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: Remember in the week leading up to the shutdown, I 176 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: said that they're just gonna move this and we'll have 177 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: the debate later. Well, they shut the government down for 178 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: three days really just they it was actually just a weekend. 179 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: They didn't really shut anything down, right, but they shut 180 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: the government down technically for a few days, and now 181 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: the government's about to open back up a little later 182 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: on a Monday. It's like they had a holiday, really, 183 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: and we're supposed to have the debate later on about 184 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: immigration in a few weeks. And part of how we 185 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: got to this point is that the Republicans have said 186 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: to the Democrats that they are going to take action 187 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: on the issue of the dreamers. So now the next 188 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: time around, Democrats may be able to make a stronger 189 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: case for forcing the issue. And I'm not sure Republicans 190 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: are on this one. We are not out of the 191 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: woods yet, as they say, my friends, there's a lot 192 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: of fight left to go. We're gonna get into that 193 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: and more coming up this hour and over the course 194 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: of the show, we will talk more about the Schumer shutdown. 195 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: The Dems lost this one. Also the FISA memo. I've 196 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: got some updates for you on that. The FBI seems 197 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: to have misplaced some text messages between some senior agents 198 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: or senior d O J. Lawyer and an FBI agent, 199 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: Peter Struck. We've all come to know because of his 200 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: insurance policy comment about President Trump. The FBI for about 201 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: five months lost the text messages between these two. That see, 202 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: that seems a bit strange, doesn't it. Ah, that's right, strange, 203 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: that is we should take a look at that. We'll 204 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: talk about it. Also, Turkey engaged in a military incursion 205 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: into Syria against our Kurdish allies. My friends, the Kurds 206 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: are the reason that ISIS has been annihilated in Syria particularly, 207 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: but also they're very helpful in the rock. But in 208 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: Syria it's been the Kurdish ground force that has defeated ISIS, 209 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 1: with US military power in the air and assorted advisors 210 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: and other assistance for them, but it has been the Curds. 211 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: And right now the Turks are shelling them and this 212 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: could further destabilize an already nightmare situation in Syria. Not 213 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: a lot of other folks talking about this because they're 214 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 1: so invested in the latest moment to moment update on 215 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: the shutdown. But this is this is a big problem 216 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 1: for US. Turkey is a large NATO ally country with 217 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: considerable military force at a disposal, and if it is 218 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: going after one of ours meeting Kurdish allies of the 219 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: United States government, we gotta do something about that. I'll 220 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: get into y later on. So we gotta we gotta 221 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: jam packed, show that much. I can promise you. Eight 222 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: four four eight to five eight four four buck team. 223 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: It is Monday. It is good to be back, and 224 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: I'm excited to get a chance to hang out with you, 225 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: so stay right there. In regards to the government shutdown, 226 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: we were pleased to see Center Schummer accept the deal 227 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: that President Trump put on the table from the very beginning, 228 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: which was to responsibly fund the government and debate immigration 229 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: as a separate issue. A statement here from the President 230 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: of the United States it I will read quote. I 231 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: am pleased that Democrats and Congress have come to their 232 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: senses and are now willing to fund our great military, 233 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: border patrol, first responders, and insurance for vulnerable children. As 234 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: I've always said, once the government is funded, my administration 235 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: will work towards solving the problem of very unfair illegal immigration. 236 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: All right, So, Sarah Huckaby Sanders is please that Schumer's 237 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: taking the deal. And right now I got some breaking 238 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: news for you. Trump's about to sign it. Let's sign 239 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: the bill ending the shutdown. This little shutdown drama nonsense 240 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: is crazy, isn't it. It's really a sign. It's a 241 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: symptom of the dysfunction of our federal government in d C. 242 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: It's not in any way I think confidence inspiring that 243 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: we could spend so much time and have such a 244 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: spirited and even nasty back and forth between Democrats and 245 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: Republicans on what on this. It's a waste. It's a waste. 246 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: But a part of a big part of this, I believe, 247 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: is that no one really knows what the DOCTA bill 248 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: is supposed or is going to be. And they're all, 249 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna mean, no one, I mean in the Congress, 250 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: and they're trying to position themselves for that. They're not 251 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: really sure about what's going to happen with the bill. 252 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: I have my own concerns. You know, you've got like 253 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham, for example, who I don't know. Some of 254 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: you probably think he's great. I I find him of 255 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: the time unhelpful and annoying. That's just that's just like 256 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: my opinion, man. But I find him to be, generally speaking, 257 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: not a voice from the right that is constructive, useful, 258 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: or particularly insightful at all. Um. And here's what he 259 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: had to send the immigration issue. I've taught with the President. 260 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: His heart is right on this issue. I think he's 261 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: got a good understanding of what we'll sell. And every 262 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: time we have a proposal, it is only yanked back 263 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: by staff members. As long as Stephen Miller is in 264 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: charge of negotiating immigration, we're going nowhere. He's been an 265 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: outlier for years. There's a deal to be had. What 266 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: is the deal? They will talk about this like it's 267 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: obvious or like we should somehow understand what is this 268 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: deal to be had? Because I, as I have been 269 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: telling you and I am I am right on this one, 270 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: Amnesty for DOCCA means amnesty for a lot more than DOCCA. 271 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: And if you don't, if you haven't extracted concessions on 272 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: immigration at that point, think about what the negotiation really 273 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: is here, folks, with Trump, you have a president who 274 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: beat all the odds, beat I don't want to get 275 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: into all that. You know that, all right, But you 276 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: have this president, this political force of nat Sure, who 277 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: rocketed to the front of the GOP ranks during the 278 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: primary on the issue of immigration. You have a president 279 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: in his first well beginning his second year now, but 280 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: you know, early on in his presidency, has the House, 281 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: has the Senate, and Democrats are pushing out there the 282 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: docat issue because it is their most effective bargaining tool. 283 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: It is the one area of immigration where people, including 284 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: a lot of Republicans I know, are at least sympathetic 285 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: to it. And I understand that right, the case that 286 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: they illustrate somebody who came here as a child, you 287 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,959 Speaker 1: have sympathy, doesn't mean that they're in illegal consequences everybody. 288 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: I'd have sympathy for a kid who lost his house 289 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: because dad was involved in a stock insider trading scheme, 290 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: but you know what, They're gonna take his house. But nonetheless, 291 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: at least there is sympathy for it. But when you 292 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: see all these different pieces lining up, you have a 293 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: president who has been more forthright and yes, tougher on 294 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: illegal immigration than any of his predecessors by a mile, 295 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: who won the presidency in large part because of his 296 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: dance on immigration. With senior advisors, well, at least in 297 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: the case of Miller, who understand the issue and expect 298 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 1: real results, They're not gonna play some game with this. 299 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: Democrats are offering up their most potent pro amnesty weapon, DOCCA. 300 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: You better get the best stuff you can get right away. 301 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: Do we think it's gonna get easier in a year 302 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: or two years? What if the midterms goes against us, folks, 303 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: Nothing less than full scale amnesty hangs in the balance 304 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: of whatever happens with this DOCCA negotiation coming up here, 305 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: do not forget it. He's holding the line for America. 306 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton is back. The difference from Lindsey Graham and 307 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,959 Speaker 1: Steve King is that Steve King can actually win an 308 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 1: election in Iowa. We had a presidential campaign Donald Trump 309 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: on our party's nomination. Lindsey Graham didn't even make it 310 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: to the starting line. The American people have made it clear, certainly, 311 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: Republican voters have made it clear that they want Donald 312 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: Trump's approach to immigration, which is strong on our border 313 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: and focus on American workers when it comes to legal immigration, 314 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: but also being generous to the doctor population and giving 315 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: them legal protections. So they am Senator Cotton talking about 316 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: the difference between the Trump approach and the Lindsay Graham 317 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: approach to immigration. I'm telling you everybody, I this this 318 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: is this is the issue. This is the issue. The 319 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: best deal they're ever going to get, meaning the best 320 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: deal Republicans are ever gonna get on immigration has to 321 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: be now if there's going to be a deal at all. 322 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: But you know, if you wait, at some point, you 323 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: may have Democrats who are just writing and rewriting the 324 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: laws as they see fit, and your you'll have amnesty. 325 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: Is it an interesting though. Why did Obama Let's just 326 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: step back for a second. Why was it that President 327 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 1: Obama had to rely on executive amnesty, meaning that an 328 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 1: executive order was given by the former president for DACA 329 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: and DAPPA when there were at least the first two 330 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: years of Obama's presidency, they had the House and the 331 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,479 Speaker 1: Center didn't even push the issue. Yes, I know they 332 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,959 Speaker 1: went with Obamacare instead, but don't you get the sense 333 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: that Democrats don't really want to have to vote on 334 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: this thing unless they have Republicans giving them cover because 335 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: amnesty is not popular the American people, and all the 336 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: polls you you'll see on this are reflections of the 337 00:21:54,600 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: intent and the propagandistic efforts of the particular ulster, Meaning 338 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: that when you say, do you think that we should 339 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: find a pathway for the very kind, law abiding people 340 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: in this country who don't have legal status but really 341 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: just want to work hard and live the American dream, 342 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: yes or no, people are gonna say yes. When you 343 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: ask the question there are eleven million people who broke 344 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: the law to come into this country. Should we just 345 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: forget about the whole thing and let them stay forever? 346 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: Maybe make them citizens? The answer that people give, and 347 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: I mean all Americans when polled is overwhelmingly no. It 348 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: is overwhelmingly no. Fact interesting from Harvard. I just saw this. 349 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: Now there's a poll out that shows this is a 350 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: Harvard Harris poll. Seventy of those polled opposed chain migration. 351 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: Think about what chain migration means. In practice, everyone an 352 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: individual manages to get into the country, and then the 353 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: individual can sponsor the rest of his or her family 354 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: to come into the country. And that's primarily how we 355 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 1: do it, which means that for each person that has 356 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: brought into the United States on the current immigration system, 357 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: it's really a five x situation, right, I mean, I 358 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: for I don't know that. Don't quote me on that. 359 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: I'm just giving you a sense of what this means. 360 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: But it's a factor of several times whatever that whoever 361 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: that that individual is. You're not letting in one person. 362 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: You're really letting in a few four or five, maybe ten, 363 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: who knows, over the course of a few years. Because 364 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: it's not the chain migration is a possibility. It's a 365 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: majority of immigration into the country, and it's an end 366 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: on that on all of the different policies that we 367 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: have in place, or all the different ideas that we 368 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: should have made into policy that are concerned first and 369 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: foremost with a merit based immigration system. Chain migration needs 370 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 1: to end. I would note that has to be a 371 00:23:54,960 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: part of the DACA of any DACCA deal too. I 372 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: wonder by the way, I gave you a number before, 373 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: and I like to be as accurate as I can. 374 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 1: I said that what seventy or eighty percent of illegal 375 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: emerance in the country are here from Mexico, And I 376 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: did some digging in the break to make sure my 377 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: numbers are correct, and I was close, but a little 378 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: high because I was adding in my mind Central American 379 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: countries into the equation as well. And that's the statistic 380 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 1: that I've seen, which is that when you add Central 381 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: America and Mexico together, you're looking at about seventy to 382 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: eight of the overall illegal alien population of the United 383 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: States Mexico if if you believe the numbers eleven million 384 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: and and it seems like it seems low to me, 385 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: just because it's been eleven million for over a decade, 386 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 1: and I don't believe this inflow outflow analysis that you 387 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: see from people, But you've got about six million illegal 388 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: alien Mexicans in the United States and seven hundred and 389 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: fifty thousand illegal Guatemalan UH illegal alien Guatemaland's United States 390 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: UH four hundred and sixty five thousands, about half a 391 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: million ail Salvadorans and about four or five thousand Hondurans 392 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: in the country illegally dwarfs every other Those are by 393 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: far the biggest in terms of illegal alien population the 394 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: United States. So it's really a Mexico and Central America issue. 395 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 1: It's not a global issue. It's not that we've got 396 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: people from all over the world who want amnesty, although 397 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: that's true too. You've got about all other countries added together, 398 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: maybe two million UH, India, China, Korea, the Philippines. They 399 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: all have substantial numbers of illegal aliens in the country, 400 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: but they're a lot further away, a lot harder to 401 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 1: get here. Proximity and geography are key in the illegal 402 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: immigration issue, right, we understand this. It's quite clear why, 403 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: because our southern border is the primary point of entry 404 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: for illegals. I know half million visa over stays a year. 405 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: That also has to be dealt with. That's why you 406 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: need workplace enforcement, but with more robust interior enforcement of 407 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: immigration laws. The visa overstay issue would also be dealt with, 408 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, it has to 409 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: be Look, we're not going to let people stay who 410 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 1: an't on to be here or else anybody who wants 411 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: to can just show up and stay. That's not the 412 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 1: way this country is going to function. Or at least 413 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: if the Republicans can man up here show some stiffened spines, 414 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,719 Speaker 1: then I think that we can get closer to an 415 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: immigration system that is rule of law and that benefits Americans. First, 416 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: we're a very diverse country in this in America, as 417 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: you know, We've got you know, people from all over 418 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: the world living here already, right, people from all which 419 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: is great. All different ethnicities and backgrounds and religions and 420 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: everything else. Fine, great. We need to be putting the 421 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: interests of all those folks, American citizens ahead of all 422 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: the foreigners. And I know it's unfair. Life is unfair, 423 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: The world is unfair. Right, It's not about fair, it's 424 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 1: about sovereignty and the future of this country. And America 425 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: does a lot of great things for the rest of 426 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: the world in ways that we can't even begin to quantify. 427 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: If this place turns into some corrupt, decrepit hellhole. And 428 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: it's happened, uh, you know other countries that were at 429 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: the top of their game, right, It's happened in other places, 430 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, you know, the UK kind of 431 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: handed over the torch of Western civilization to us nicely. 432 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: But it's it's happened in other countries that they went 433 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: into a period of decay and decline other empires. So 434 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: it's not impossible here, and that the country is changing 435 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: very very rapidly as we all know, all right, I 436 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: just want to give you those numbers. Oh so, yeah, 437 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: six million illegal alien Mexican immigrants in the country or 438 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: legal alien Mexicans in the country, and about three million, 439 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: uh roughly Central America. So it's like nine of the 440 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 1: eleven are from Mexico and Central America. It's a lot. 441 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: Jennis in Boston got some thoughts. Good good of you 442 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: to call in, Jennie. Are good to talk to you, 443 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: buck Um. I think you kind of just answered my 444 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,719 Speaker 1: first question, which I wanted to know if you had 445 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: a sense of how Americans failed, because last week everyone 446 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: in Washington kept telling us that the American people support 447 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: giving him to see the doctor, And it seemed like 448 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: people on both sides of the aisle were saying that. 449 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: And I don't know if they really believe it, but 450 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: from what you just said, you you don't think that 451 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: that's true, that the American people support it. I mean, 452 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: I'm in Massachusetts. I don't know anyone who isn't a liberal, 453 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: So it's hard to for me to judge. What's the 454 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: rest of the country things. Well, it's all when you 455 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: say what the rest of the country, Um, what the 456 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: rest of the country thinks on this? It depends on 457 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: what the question is that's being at right. Yeah, And 458 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: and the way the Democrats play the game is they 459 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: say it's only going to be eight hundred thousand the 460 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: people that are in the doctor program. That's it. But 461 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: we know that a lot. They already tried DOPPA and 462 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: they tried that with executive order, so President trying, I 463 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: mean President Obama when he was in office, just said, 464 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just gonna decide that we're gonna 465 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: give legal status to the parents. Remember that, you know, 466 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: most folks two parents right to the parents of each DOCCA, 467 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: DOCTA recipient or a person that is covered under the 468 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: DOCTA program, which then made it go for a eight 469 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: hundred thousand to three or four million. And you know, 470 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: once you get to three or four million, you're gonna 471 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: have all these other people that say, hold on a second, 472 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: I'm in the country illegally. I want to be covered 473 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: under these programs too. And you can say, well, but 474 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: that's not right because they don't. Yeah, but who's gonna 475 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: adjudicate that? And anytime you're gonna start enforcing you know, 476 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: let's say you up workplace enforcement, you start enforcing immigration law, 477 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna have people that the first thing they do 478 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: when they go in front of a judge just say, oh, 479 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: but I'm I'm actually adoppa, you know, DOCA person. They say, well, 480 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: where where are your where's your proofer? And they say, well, 481 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'm working on it. You see what I mean. 482 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: They use the seems in the system as a means 483 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: of overriding the system, and that's what's going to happen. 484 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: So it's not I'm sorry, no, go ahead, go ahead. 485 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: Um Lindsay Graham's bill last week, I was trying to 486 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: find out this bill that was so reasonable, what was 487 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: in it? And he was he wouldn't want an amnesty 488 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: for all dreamers, not just DOCCA. Went from what I read, Well, 489 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: DOCCA is dreamers, but DAPPA is the parents of dreamers. 490 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: So the way I look at it, DOCCA is a 491 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: subset of dreamers. So all doc or dreamers, but not 492 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: all dream of DACA. That oh well, okay, yes, we'll 493 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: see this. This is an important No, this is an 494 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: important distinction. Janus, hold on a second. Some people um 495 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: would technically qualify for DOCCA but did not apply, and 496 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: they would say it's because they were afraid if the 497 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: federal government knew their status, it could be used against them. 498 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: So that will also be So you have eight hundred 499 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: thousand people that are in DOCCA, but the number of 500 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: those who would technically fall into the guidelines is considerably larger. 501 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: How much larger, we don't really know. But we do 502 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: know that there were individuals that did not give their information, 503 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: or at least we'll claim they did not give their 504 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: information because they had concerns of the federal governments. The 505 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: point is that doctor gets a lot larger, a lot faster, 506 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: and the political will to enforce the law and to 507 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: change immigration law after DOCCA for the Democrats is zero, right, 508 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: It completely disappears. If they get what they want, they're 509 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: laughing all the way to the mid terms. And so 510 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: that's why, you know, Republicans, they've really got to make 511 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: the case. Jan's one more thing, and uh, I'll let 512 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: you respond, and then we got to go into a break. 513 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: Oh okay, um, no, are you good? Okay, if you're good, 514 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: that's cool too. Thank you very much for calling it 515 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: from Boston. I appreciate it. Um, I'm gonna put it 516 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: on the spot. What else do you have for me? 517 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: Come on eight four or four nine two, eight to 518 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: five you want to. We'll get to some of our 519 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: other callers after the break, or maybe I'll be mid rent. 520 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: We'll see. But eight four or four nine buck next 521 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: hour got to talk about text message is just disappearing, 522 00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: you know FBI FBI agents. Yeah, they just disappear. How 523 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: can that happen? And I really mean, how does that happen? 524 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: We are supposed to think that this is just all 525 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: a coincidence. Now, folks, it left the Democrats the deep state. 526 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: They are coincidence theorists. Too many coincidences. And I'm not 527 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: talking about things where I'm saying, well this could be true, 528 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: where that could be true. I'm talking about what is known, 529 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: known facts. I'm not connecting dots that are far apart 530 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: and require a leap of faith. I'm just looking at 531 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: the outline of what is right in front of us. 532 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: And it is not good for the trust that the US, 533 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: that U. S Citizens should have, for institutions, for rule 534 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: of law, for the Democrat Party, for the media. We 535 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: are on the cusp of what could be the biggest 536 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: political scandal of my lifetime. That's the one only one 537 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: that I can speak to. That'll all be coming up 538 00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: in the next hour. So stay right there, h This 539 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: boat should be a no brainer, and it would be, 540 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: except the Democratic leader has convinced his members to filibuster 541 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: any funding bill that doesn't include legislation they are demanding 542 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: for people who came into the United States illegally. What 543 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: has been shoehorned into this discussion. Isn't insistence that we 544 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: deal with an illegal immigration issue. Mins McConnell beat Chuck 545 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: Schumer on this one, no question. It's a wipeout for 546 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: the Democrats. Everyone. They lost this. That's not how the 547 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: media is gonna talk about it. They're just gonna say, oh, look, 548 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: the government's coming back online yea, government yea. But the 549 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: reality is that it came back online so quickly because 550 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: Democrats are like, oh crap, people figured it out this time. 551 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do now? Chuck Schumer's like, that's right, 552 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: I mean sorry, I meant Mitch McConnell to Chuck Schumer. Whatever. 553 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: I got my characters mixed up in my head. He 554 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 1: was basically trying to tell him, though, that victory is his. 555 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell beat Schumer on this one. So you would 556 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: think that this is a good omen going forward for 557 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 1: what the trajectory of the debate over doctor is going 558 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: to be. But I am concerned, as I have been 559 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: telling you all along. I think there are plenty of 560 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: reasons that looking at this, we should think to ourselves, 561 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:42,399 Speaker 1: Hold on a second, why did Republicans agree that they 562 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: would move on to the DOCTA issue as as soon 563 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: as the next couple of weeks in order to get 564 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: the government funded again? Why they should just say no 565 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: or the majority party fund the government or people are 566 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,240 Speaker 1: going to know that you're acting like a bunch of babies. 567 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: I think the deal he may fool themselves on this one, 568 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: or I you know it depends on who we're talking about. 569 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: Some of them will fool themselves, some are just being dishonest. 570 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: But Democrats, well that they lost this round, but they 571 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: lost this battle, but the war is still on, so 572 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: to speak. And I've been telling you about why immigration 573 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,399 Speaker 1: is so important and what the areas of it are 574 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: that don't get nearly enough attention, because that's where I 575 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: think we need. That's where we need to focus. If 576 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna understand what's coming, You're gonna have all the 577 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:40,839 Speaker 1: Republicans on the that are in the mainstream GOP side 578 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: of things. A lot of them are gonna say, oh, 579 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,760 Speaker 1: look at this, We've got this great deal now with DOCCA. 580 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna extend doctor protection for you know, a year 581 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 1: or two years or three years or something, and we 582 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,399 Speaker 1: got border funding. What does that mean? What does that mean? 583 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: And why do they have to wait for this negotiation 584 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 1: to happen? I think that there. Look, I think that 585 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: the legislative agenda here should be set by their majority party. 586 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: I know it's a crazy idea. Why don't Republicans try 587 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 1: to pass a bill that says that there I just 588 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: told you based on that poll, I mean, is that true? 589 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: Is that a be all, end all poll. No, but 590 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: it's a poll from Hark from Harvard. Hello Harvard. Uh, 591 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 1: why not put something out there that says that they 592 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: are gonna end chain migration. Why not get rid of 593 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: the visa diversity diversity lottery, try to pass and fine, 594 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: if Democrats are gonna try to filibuster, make them, but 595 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: let's let's have them do that. One of the biggest 596 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 1: problems all along on immigration, and this stretches all the 597 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 1: way back to you know, the Romney Obama Erave, the 598 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: Gang of eight, the Gang of six, the Gang and 599 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 1: whatever I mean, all all these different recent failed efforts 600 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: to get some kind of comprehensive immigration reform, is that 601 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 1: they wanted to be a big package deal. They wanted 602 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 1: to be a big package deal on immigration. And when 603 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 1: I say they, yeah, I mean Democrats and Republicans because 604 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,919 Speaker 1: they don't want anyone to hold them responsible for any 605 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 1: one aspect of what's going on here. So that's how 606 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,439 Speaker 1: you get amnesty, but border funding, but this, but that, 607 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: but here, but there, but pathway but English speaking, that 608 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: gotta do back taxes and all this stuff. What's gonna 609 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: happen is that you're gonna get the amnesty and nothing else. 610 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: And then when we say, well, who do we hold 611 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 1: accountable for this? Democrats and Republicans we're pointing fingers at 612 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: each other across the aisle saying it's their fault depending 613 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: on what we're talking about, and nobody really knows. Why not? 614 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 1: Why not do what the most sensible approach to immigration dictates, 615 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: which is take the issues one by one and say 616 00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 1: that we're gonna go We're gonna go forward with this 617 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 1: in front of the American people, make the case. You 618 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: got Trump, you got his tweets, and then forced Democrats 619 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: to go to the mat against each of these individual items. 620 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 1: And when they say, oh no, because that has to 621 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 1: be part of a doctor deal, say why why? Why 622 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,879 Speaker 1: does ending chain migration after part of a doctor deal? 623 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 1: One has nothing to do with the other. Why you 624 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 1: know this is? This is where we'll see, assuming that 625 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: they forced their hand, now what the real deal is. 626 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 1: He's back with you now, because when it comes to 627 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 1: the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Welcome back 628 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 1: to the Buck Sexton Show, the Mueller Investigation, the d 629 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: o J fusion, GPS, all this stuff coming together in 630 00:38:55,200 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: a way that many of us, any of us have 631 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 1: deep concerns points to collusion and malfeasance, not between Trump 632 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:15,879 Speaker 1: and Russia, but among a whole group of government employees, 633 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 1: political operatives, and even some of the media perhaps who 634 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: were trying to create a way to nullify the results 635 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: of the presidential election or prevent the election from ever 636 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 1: happening between Trump and Hillary by making Trump have to 637 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: step down. Here's the latest on this. It has come 638 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: to light, as you know, in recent months, there are 639 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: some very clearly anti Trump, FBI and d J folks 640 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:55,280 Speaker 1: who were involved, specifically on matters having to do with Trump, 641 00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:01,800 Speaker 1: with Hillary's emails, with the most important and politically sensitive 642 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: investigations of the last well at least the last couple 643 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: of years, perhaps much longer than that. Now, the d 644 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 1: o J FBR large places. FBI has got tens of 645 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: thousands of agents, d o J has I don't know, 646 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: something like a hundred thousand employees. I believe d o 647 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 1: J is huge. We're not talking about general sentiment. We're 648 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: not talking about office banter or hallway chatter between different agents. 649 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 1: I understand this. People are people right. You're allowed to 650 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,839 Speaker 1: have your thoughts about I'm Trump or anyone else. I'm 651 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 1: sure there are lots of FBI agents who having worked 652 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 1: with a known many an FBI agent in my day, 653 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: I'm sure they had lots of colorful things to say 654 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: about Madame Secretary Hillary Clinton. Some we're probably very amusing, 655 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 1: what do you mean? Some were probably you know, stuff 656 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: that I wish I could have heard. But the point 657 00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:01,360 Speaker 1: is that's not what's that issue here. What what is 658 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: an issue is that when you're drilling down into the 659 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: very small and powerful cadre some would say cabal of 660 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 1: Department of Justice and FBI figures who were involved in 661 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: both the Hillary email probe and the Russia Trump collusion 662 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,840 Speaker 1: investigation and then the Muller probe, you have a circle 663 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: of never trumpers and a recent history of stonewalling from 664 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 1: the FBI and the d o J not trying to 665 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,439 Speaker 1: turn over information to Congress that should be no big deal. 666 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: So you had this Peter Struck character who and look, people, 667 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,399 Speaker 1: I can tell everyone really likes to put it out there. 668 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 1: You know, with his mistress, you know, uh Page, right, 669 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 1: miss at least what was her name? I forget her name, 670 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 1: but anyway, yeah, Lisa Page his mistress. Okay, the guy 671 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:04,880 Speaker 1: was married and he was doing that that's not really 672 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: are that's neither here nor there for what we're talking about. 673 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that we're focused on the investigation 674 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,760 Speaker 1: and these agents and how or employees of the DJ 675 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: and how they would have acted in an anti Trump 676 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,280 Speaker 1: fashion while in a position to make that really meaningful. 677 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 1: But you have Struck in page exchanging text messages, Struck 678 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,359 Speaker 1: wrote that Trump was an idiot. F Trump, you know 679 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: that that's very that's disconcerting. But as we all know, 680 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:39,240 Speaker 1: the worst part of it was the insurance policy before 681 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,399 Speaker 1: you're forty, and that that conversation seemed to have been 682 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:48,879 Speaker 1: had in acting FBI Director Andy McCabe's office. So at 683 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 1: the very very top of the organization. This is not 684 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 1: two people at the water cooler having a chat overheard 685 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,840 Speaker 1: by somebody and then reported to somebody who works at 686 00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 1: the Washington Post. Right. This is high level stuff, and 687 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 1: we've seen plenty of circumstantial evidence. We're gonna put this 688 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,759 Speaker 1: in legalistic terms that there are people from within the 689 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: DJ and the government apparatus that are willing to break 690 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,320 Speaker 1: the law to hurt Trump. Write the leaks about the 691 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 1: Lynn Kissalak conversation, lots of leaks to different papers of 692 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,800 Speaker 1: classified information trying to hurt Trump. So somewhere there's people 693 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 1: in the government who hate Trump who have access to 694 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: classify it at a high level and are willing to 695 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:36,399 Speaker 1: give that to the media. And by the way, there 696 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: are people who hate Trump have access classified and are 697 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:44,959 Speaker 1: involved these investigations who hate Trump. Maybe we can start 698 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 1: to put together are are are some of these the 699 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 1: same folks. Maybe Sally Yates, who should know the law 700 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 1: well enough to know that it is not up to 701 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: her to exercise her discretion as acting Attorney General when 702 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: it comes to the when it came to the travel band, 703 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,480 Speaker 1: but she wanted a grandstand because she's a never Trumper, 704 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 1: She's a Democrat. These people are phonies. It's very important 705 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 1: you know that. The same way that you have these 706 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: phony journalists over at CNN and elsewhere who were acting 707 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 1: like they don't have opinions and they're just playing it 708 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,360 Speaker 1: straight and right down the middle and just the facts, 709 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 1: the same thing is true of a lot of civil 710 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,879 Speaker 1: servants and various government employees at the high level. I'm 711 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,200 Speaker 1: not talking about the folks that are just showing up 712 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 1: doing the job and paying the mortgage. I was one 713 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 1: of those folks, but without the mortgage, because I never 714 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 1: owned any property, because never had any money. But I 715 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 1: was one of those folks, okay, And I was just 716 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 1: doing my job. I wasn't trying to play politics, and 717 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: I was trying to find terrorists. But we've seen now 718 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,360 Speaker 1: all this. When you add all this together, plenty of 719 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 1: reason to think that there was foul play against Trump 720 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: at the top level, and that these individuals who try 721 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 1: to hold themselves up as so beyond reproach non part 722 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 1: ortis in. They're either lying or they're delusional, maybe a 723 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 1: little bit of both. And then you get the latest 724 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,840 Speaker 1: news item from the last couple of days on this, 725 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 1: which is that the Department of Justice had to notify 726 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 1: Congress that there is a gap, a gap in the 727 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 1: records of what has been requested here. And this is 728 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 1: from the Attorney General's office. Let me just read this 729 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 1: statement was just released. Let me share this with you. Quote. 730 00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 1: Six Congressional committees made a request to the Department of 731 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 1: Justice for FBI text messages between two FBI employees from 732 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 1: July one July, which the Department agreed to produce as 733 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:47,799 Speaker 1: quickly as possible. The Inspector General has been reviewing these 734 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: texts based on allegations that Department or FBI policies or 735 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 1: procedures were not followed and that certain underlying investigative decisions 736 00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:02,640 Speaker 1: were based on improper consider rations. The Department of Justice 737 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 1: agreed to produce those records as quickly as possible. After 738 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 1: reviewing the voluminous records on the FBI servers, which included 739 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 1: over fifty thousand texts, the Inspector General discovered the FBI's 740 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 1: system failed to retain text messages for approximately five months 741 00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:28,359 Speaker 1: between December to December sevent seventeen. Quote, we will leave 742 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 1: no stone on turned to confirm with certainty why these 743 00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,360 Speaker 1: text messages are not now available to be produced, and 744 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,320 Speaker 1: we'll use every technology available to determine whether the missing 745 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,920 Speaker 1: messages are recoverable from another source. If we are successful, 746 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:47,720 Speaker 1: we will update the congressional committees immediately and and quote, Okay, 747 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 1: a couple of things jump out here right. First of all, 748 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,600 Speaker 1: we're talking about text messages everybody from their work phones, 749 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 1: their work devices that have a lot of sensitive and 750 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 1: as the FBI knows, subpoena bowl information in there right 751 00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,400 Speaker 1: part of discovery. What FBI agents say to each other 752 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,359 Speaker 1: about a case can can get called into court. They 753 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 1: know this. I know this when I was at the NYPD. 754 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,239 Speaker 1: They have procedures in play specifically meant to protain You know, 755 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:23,920 Speaker 1: this is not just a normal company, right, This is 756 00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 1: the Federal Bureau of Investigation and this is on their 757 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:32,840 Speaker 1: official work devices. They're gonna tell us that there was 758 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,120 Speaker 1: just a GLI there just happened to be a glitch. 759 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,879 Speaker 1: We fixed the glitch. I mean, they they really think 760 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 1: that that's gonna wash for the public. Now again, put 761 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,840 Speaker 1: this in the context I gave you before. We're not 762 00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:53,960 Speaker 1: talking about some problem that's FBI wide. We're not talking about, 763 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 1: you know, some messages that who cares about? The specific 764 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,440 Speaker 1: messages used on work devices between these two people who 765 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,080 Speaker 1: are now at the center of the storm of anti 766 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 1: Trump shenanigans, a DJ and FBI. Those messages all of 767 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 1: a sudden disappear. Those messages are are not retrieval by 768 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:22,720 Speaker 1: the FBI. And it goes without saying if you are hoping, 769 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 1: you know, if you're under investigation of the FBI and 770 00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,880 Speaker 1: you're hoping, sorry, bro TOA, it's deleted, like all the 771 00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,759 Speaker 1: tweets are, like all the text messages, like don't have 772 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,480 Speaker 1: them anymore. And that's gonna save your butt. You are 773 00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:39,799 Speaker 1: gonna be mistaken. Trust me, they'll have it, they'll find it. 774 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:44,160 Speaker 1: It's there, It exists on servers. FBI knows that the 775 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 1: digital footprint is, for many investigations, the best friend that 776 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:52,799 Speaker 1: the law enforcement officers have. But we're supposed to think 777 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 1: back to my point about coincidence being a coincidence theorist, 778 00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:01,120 Speaker 1: This just just happens to come up here, right, records 779 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 1: directly related to the questions we're asking now, what else 780 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,840 Speaker 1: was said about this? What else were they saying? They 781 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,799 Speaker 1: already we've already seen some bad stuff between these two. 782 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,480 Speaker 1: What else was on the list? Oh, we can't tell 783 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,399 Speaker 1: you that because months of text messages on their work 784 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,239 Speaker 1: devices disappear. Folks. This the FBI is the d J. 785 00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:25,400 Speaker 1: They have to retain work records. It's not a choice. 786 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,960 Speaker 1: This isn't like, oh yeah, you know, whatever must be retained. 787 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,680 Speaker 1: It is a huge part of what their day to 788 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 1: day obligations are when they're involved in investigations. Right, this 789 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 1: is and and you have to be very careful. I 790 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:42,800 Speaker 1: know a lot of law enforcement out there, nos this. 791 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,360 Speaker 1: I knew this from when I was doing counter terrorist 792 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:48,040 Speaker 1: investigations the NYPD. You know, if you say, yeah, that 793 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 1: guy glad, we're gonna lock him up. He's a real 794 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 1: you know, he's a he's a schmo or something. Guess 795 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,520 Speaker 1: what that can end up in court. That could be 796 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:59,760 Speaker 1: a problem. You don't say dumb stuff like that. Oh 797 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,799 Speaker 1: I would note, by the way, how dumb do we think? Now? 798 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:07,160 Speaker 1: Struck and Paige are work devices writing f the possible 799 00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,919 Speaker 1: future president United States? You work in the executive branch? 800 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,319 Speaker 1: Are you out of your minds? I mean, are they 801 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,040 Speaker 1: hiring imbeciles at these places? The answer is yes, actually 802 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:17,600 Speaker 1: they are. There are a lot of very dumb people 803 00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,680 Speaker 1: who work for the federal government. That's a separate discussion. 804 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:24,799 Speaker 1: A lot of brilliant people too, But that's I'm not 805 00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:26,680 Speaker 1: hearing enough of that from other people. This is not 806 00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 1: just like the messages just that. This the FBI. They 807 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,920 Speaker 1: have to keep the messages, they have to have access 808 00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:33,480 Speaker 1: to this. This is not a question. This is not 809 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,880 Speaker 1: an option. This isn't like a you know, an additional 810 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:40,920 Speaker 1: feature they'd love to have. And then there's one other 811 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:42,640 Speaker 1: thing I want to get into before we we're gonna 812 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 1: break here. And I haven't even talked to you about 813 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,120 Speaker 1: the FIS and memo yet. Oh yeah, we're gonna go there. 814 00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:51,239 Speaker 1: That's coming up in a second. I'm hearing more and 815 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 1: more from my sources on that one. And this is 816 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 1: one where I am really pulsing the sources and and 817 00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask my people who this is too important? 818 00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,480 Speaker 1: You know, I gen really trying not to push too much, 819 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:04,279 Speaker 1: you know, talk to people. I don't want anyone and 820 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,040 Speaker 1: I know when government ever, you know, get in trouble 821 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,360 Speaker 1: for anything. But I need to know whether this is 822 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,319 Speaker 1: real or not. This memo is real or not. You know, 823 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,239 Speaker 1: that's not that's not a national security issue. That's the 824 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,400 Speaker 1: future of America issue. And the American people need to know. 825 00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,319 Speaker 1: Is this What does this memo really have? So I've 826 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,840 Speaker 1: been asking around. But before I get to that, not 827 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 1: only do you have these text messages disappearing right now? 828 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 1: And look, maybe they'll find them all in a week 829 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,759 Speaker 1: and we'll be told it. But I'm allowed to at 830 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:30,399 Speaker 1: least take some of our time here on the show 831 00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,719 Speaker 1: and say, oh, okay, this is not gonna this is 832 00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:37,799 Speaker 1: not gonna fly. One more thing. Look at the timeline, 833 00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 1: my friends, Look at what The timeline is here for 834 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 1: when these text messages have disappeared December fourteen to May seventeen. 835 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:51,879 Speaker 1: Who wants to just take a little stab this. Who 836 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 1: wants to throw out what would be kind of a 837 00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 1: crazy coincidence? It will be a crazy quincetance this timeline. 838 00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:02,760 Speaker 1: What if I told you at Mueller the special counsel 839 00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:09,279 Speaker 1: was appointed to investigate Trump over Russia collusion on May 840 00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:15,880 Speaker 1: sev Wow, doesn't that see him a little bit odd? 841 00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 1: That just happened that the day that we find out 842 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:30,279 Speaker 1: there's a massive, possibly administration ending investigation announced unexpectedly about 843 00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:34,840 Speaker 1: Russia Trump collusion, that's when all of a sudden, you 844 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:40,080 Speaker 1: know that that coincides with the huh it just seems weird, right, 845 00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,839 Speaker 1: It just seems weird to me. I know, you say, well, buck, 846 00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:47,040 Speaker 1: hold on a second. That's that's when that's when the 847 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 1: other settle hole is. Yeah, but there's just too much 848 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:54,319 Speaker 1: here that seems to me like mhmm, something's going on 849 00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,600 Speaker 1: the whole run up to the announcement. Because you see 850 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:04,760 Speaker 1: the text messages after the announcement, they would know, oh, 851 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,920 Speaker 1: right now it's real. Now there's somebody else who could 852 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,880 Speaker 1: pull our messages you see what I'm saying. The gap 853 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:16,000 Speaker 1: is all the months leading up to the Special Council 854 00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,680 Speaker 1: being appointed. Once the Special Counsel has been appointed, Yeah, 855 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:24,960 Speaker 1: those text messages, sure, because they realized. Now this is 856 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,080 Speaker 1: assuming they don't find them all tomorrow, and they might. 857 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: They might, but the coincidences are piling up too high. 858 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,600 Speaker 1: There's too much going on here that can't just be 859 00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:39,280 Speaker 1: swept aside, unlike on the other side of this equation 860 00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,360 Speaker 1: where they're saying, oh, you know what, this guy I 861 00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,080 Speaker 1: met with a guy in London and you know, he 862 00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 1: said something and it told some people, and then you know, 863 00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:47,759 Speaker 1: this guy talked to that guy and this other guy 864 00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 1: like a game of ridiculous telephone. Now this is all real, 865 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,440 Speaker 1: and there's some stuff here that we need answers to. 866 00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,200 Speaker 1: And I haven't even gotten into the fives of memory out. 867 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 1: That's that's coming up. Eight four four five. You smell 868 00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:05,799 Speaker 1: something fishy here? Is this FBI text message blackout? Is 869 00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:09,360 Speaker 1: this a big stinking fish or is this a nothing 870 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 1: burger that in a couple of days we'll find out 871 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:13,799 Speaker 1: they have all the messages? What do you think? Eight 872 00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 1: four buck eight four to five. We will get into 873 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,000 Speaker 1: the fives a memo in just a bit. Stare right there? 874 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:30,839 Speaker 1: Fake news better running high because the Buck Sexton Show 875 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:38,400 Speaker 1: is back. Fifty thou text messages exchanged between FBI agents 876 00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:42,880 Speaker 1: Struck and d o J FBI lawyer Lisa Page, d 877 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,880 Speaker 1: o J Layer Lisa Page or whatever. That doesn't include 878 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:50,440 Speaker 1: the five months of missing ones. By the way, now 879 00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:55,120 Speaker 1: look you know there obviously they had some kind of connection. 880 00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,680 Speaker 1: That's a lot of text messages. I don't I don't 881 00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:03,480 Speaker 1: think I've ever texted anybody in my life times that. 882 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,359 Speaker 1: I'm like, what is this? What does the FBI got 883 00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:10,279 Speaker 1: doing with all this time? That's a fair question to ask, 884 00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:16,440 Speaker 1: I think. Alright, Steve in Springfield, Massachusetts, good to you, Hi, 885 00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:18,759 Speaker 1: how are you doing. I'm good, Thanks for calling in 886 00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,840 Speaker 1: um High. It's been kind of like eating at me. 887 00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,120 Speaker 1: I heard a reference to it. Does Does Donald Trump 888 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:31,280 Speaker 1: have the executive power to declassify the nunia's memo. Yes, 889 00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,719 Speaker 1: he does to be because I think the need for 890 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:40,879 Speaker 1: making it public by far outweighs any national security unit. 891 00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, no time forget that Obama pardons Snowden, 892 00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:48,240 Speaker 1: which was probably as a massive c I hate breach 893 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,080 Speaker 1: and uh I think the public's right to know by 894 00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:55,520 Speaker 1: far Outwaigs Mom, Obama pardoned, Obama didn't pardon. Obama commuted 895 00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,200 Speaker 1: the sentence of Chelsea Manning. He did not pardon Snowding. 896 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:02,000 Speaker 1: Just f y, I okay, okay, that's cool, No, I 897 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,280 Speaker 1: just I just like to keep a fact straight, go ahead, Okay, cool. 898 00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,120 Speaker 1: But but the thing is like, like I told a 899 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,160 Speaker 1: few friends of mine, you know, my relatives did not 900 00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:14,000 Speaker 1: immigrate from Eastern Europe just to watch our d R 901 00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,480 Speaker 1: FBI devolve into as uh a gestapo in the k 902 00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:23,080 Speaker 1: g B. Now, I I am very uh how do 903 00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,600 Speaker 1: I put this? I think it's very important Steve, that 904 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:29,400 Speaker 1: we understand that this is the leadership in these places 905 00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,319 Speaker 1: tend to be political, and many of them are in 906 00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:35,440 Speaker 1: fact political appointees. That's different from the rank and file, 907 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,040 Speaker 1: and I do think it will be it's it's unfair 908 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,960 Speaker 1: if we find out, for example, and I think we might, 909 00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 1: that three or four senior FBI d O J people 910 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:49,840 Speaker 1: were part of a conspiracy against the Trump administration and everything, 911 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 1: and maybe it was ten there's tens of thousands of 912 00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,120 Speaker 1: people who work for the FBI. Right, they're not grabbing 913 00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,320 Speaker 1: people from their homes the middle and for no reason 914 00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:59,560 Speaker 1: making them disappear, which is that that's that's what the 915 00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:01,600 Speaker 1: Stasi would do. So I don't want us to go 916 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 1: too far with towering the whole institution when it's a 917 00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,480 Speaker 1: few very senior people. Now that's not to say a 918 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,719 Speaker 1: few very senior people aren't a big problem. They are, 919 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:11,799 Speaker 1: but I want to make sure that we try to 920 00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:13,480 Speaker 1: separate that out. I mean, I still have you know, 921 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,480 Speaker 1: I still have friends in some of these places, including 922 00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,600 Speaker 1: friends who are Trump voters, and you know, are as 923 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:22,200 Speaker 1: dead set against the never Trump collusion nonsense as anybody 924 00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:24,120 Speaker 1: else that I know. So I just want to keep that. 925 00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to keep that as part of our discussion. 926 00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:28,360 Speaker 1: I will talk and thank you for calling, and Steve, 927 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,840 Speaker 1: I will talk about the release of the memo coming 928 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:36,480 Speaker 1: up and what what the different ins and outs of 929 00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:40,600 Speaker 1: that are. But I am hearing and I've got to 930 00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,120 Speaker 1: the point now where if this memo is not what 931 00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:47,320 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be, and then the next time around, 932 00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:48,800 Speaker 1: I'm just say I don't want to hear it, okay, 933 00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,280 Speaker 1: because I've heard this now from lots of folks that 934 00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:59,040 Speaker 1: this fis and memo is jaw dropping Oh my gosh, 935 00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,040 Speaker 1: what the heck is going on in the federal government. 936 00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:06,000 Speaker 1: Why are they trying to destroy the Trump administration? That's 937 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,040 Speaker 1: what I'm hearing. So we'll talk about what we know 938 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:24,480 Speaker 1: about that so far right after this break. Other shows 939 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 1: just talk at you in the Freedom Hud. We have 940 00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:31,040 Speaker 1: a mission. We fight for the truth in a team effort, 941 00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,200 Speaker 1: and buck us back with our next play. All right, 942 00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:40,120 Speaker 1: can you tell us about this memo? What exactly is it? 943 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,040 Speaker 1: It is essentially a set of talking points that the 944 00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:47,520 Speaker 1: Republican Intel staff drafted based on the highly classified materials 945 00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,920 Speaker 1: which most of the Republican members were forced to acknowledge. 946 00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,720 Speaker 1: They've not even read, so they don't know how distorted 947 00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:57,800 Speaker 1: these talking points are. They've made the common cause once 948 00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:02,400 Speaker 1: again with Russian bought because Russian bots are pushing their 949 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:06,200 Speaker 1: narrative out there. It's in a redux of the campaign. 950 00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 1: We have Julia sangs and wiki leaks and Russian trolls 951 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:15,040 Speaker 1: and botts saying, you know, hashtag whatever the GOP narrative is. 952 00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:19,720 Speaker 1: Adam Schiff gives de w Wasserman Schultzer run for money 953 00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:25,360 Speaker 1: on the mechanical, absurd and idiotic talking points front. I 954 00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:31,000 Speaker 1: mean really really good at the staying on message, blatant falsehood, 955 00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:35,320 Speaker 1: just keep going, keep plowing through. What was all that stuff? 956 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,520 Speaker 1: But what is Russia and wiki leaks? Like? Think about this? 957 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:42,800 Speaker 1: That has nothing to do with anything the question and 958 00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,800 Speaker 1: I guess that was from Aaron Burnett, who is a 959 00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,960 Speaker 1: famous TV anchor, just because I'm not really sure what 960 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,160 Speaker 1: the what differentiates her from a thousand other people in 961 00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,000 Speaker 1: that job. But nonetheless she makes a lot of money 962 00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:58,720 Speaker 1: and is a famous, well sort of famous CNN anchor. Uh, 963 00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:00,640 Speaker 1: but I think she was on asked the question. I 964 01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:05,439 Speaker 1: don't know. The point is, it's about whether the memo 965 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:09,160 Speaker 1: should be released. Should we see if in fact the 966 01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:15,440 Speaker 1: Fusion GPS dossier was used as the probable cause in 967 01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:20,800 Speaker 1: a sense, or as the the basis for the intelligence 968 01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:24,200 Speaker 1: investigation opened up on the Trump administration, or as a 969 01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 1: Trump campaign and then Trump administration, we should know that 970 01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:33,880 Speaker 1: because that would be a very very big deal. Simply put, 971 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:38,240 Speaker 1: it would mean that the media, working with a deep 972 01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:44,040 Speaker 1: state government apparatus at the Department of Justice and using 973 01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:48,760 Speaker 1: something they got from the Hillary Clinton campaign, took the 974 01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:52,520 Speaker 1: spying apparatus of the United States and used it to 975 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:56,280 Speaker 1: mind for information and look for what could have just 976 01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:59,760 Speaker 1: been politically explosive. Right, Well, we all assume, because they 977 01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:03,440 Speaker 1: will us to assume that they were on the hunt 978 01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:07,240 Speaker 1: for criminal, criminal information. Here's something that I will, I 979 01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,880 Speaker 1: promise you, and again I have lots of data points 980 01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:12,400 Speaker 1: to back this up if we want to get into 981 01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:17,480 Speaker 1: it based on what we've already seen. If by running 982 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:22,400 Speaker 1: the counterintelligence investigation, which is just spin, which just means spying, 983 01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:25,320 Speaker 1: is getting around normal Fourth Amendment protections, that's what that means. 984 01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:31,360 Speaker 1: If by doing that, somehow the people in charge of 985 01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:35,920 Speaker 1: this at the federal government had gotten information that that 986 01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:41,520 Speaker 1: was political kryptonite for Trump, it would have leaked out 987 01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,040 Speaker 1: into the media. So it didn't even have to be 988 01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:47,400 Speaker 1: about criminality or conspiracy with the Kremlin or any of 989 01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:50,840 Speaker 1: that stuff. It could have just been Look think about it. 990 01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:53,920 Speaker 1: Somebody says that, you know, one of Trump's top people 991 01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,200 Speaker 1: says that they heard Trump use a I don't know, 992 01:01:56,240 --> 01:02:00,439 Speaker 1: a racial slur, Right, one of Trump's top people's any 993 01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:03,240 Speaker 1: number of things that if you had somebody on tape 994 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:07,080 Speaker 1: saying it and it was then released to the press, 995 01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,560 Speaker 1: could have been lights out for the Trump campaign. Any 996 01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:12,480 Speaker 1: number of things, or at least would have really hurt 997 01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:16,280 Speaker 1: the campaign. So that's another reason to get this counterintelligence 998 01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,640 Speaker 1: investigation going because it allows you to mind through all 999 01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:23,120 Speaker 1: the information and find what you know. And if you're 1000 01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:26,720 Speaker 1: asking for oh buck, that sounds crazy, I'd say Flynn 1001 01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:30,680 Speaker 1: kisel Jack. That made its way into the press to 1002 01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:33,200 Speaker 1: make Flynn look bad and get him fired. And oh, 1003 01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:34,880 Speaker 1: by the way, later on he gets charged with a 1004 01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:38,520 Speaker 1: crime for lying the FBI about it, so that they 1005 01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:41,320 Speaker 1: already did this that wasn't There was nothing that was 1006 01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,480 Speaker 1: discussed that was a big deal, but it was released 1007 01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,680 Speaker 1: to the press to make Flynn or to say that 1008 01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:48,360 Speaker 1: Flynn was a liar and to undermine him and to 1009 01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,560 Speaker 1: underrun the Trump campaign. So don't tell me that if 1010 01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:55,120 Speaker 1: there was and that was using counterintelligence methods, right, don't 1011 01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,080 Speaker 1: tell me that if they had found something else that 1012 01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:58,680 Speaker 1: was really good, it wouldn't have made its way out 1013 01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,959 Speaker 1: there because it was classified. All right. These people don't 1014 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:05,960 Speaker 1: care about classified. They make a mockery of classified. But 1015 01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:08,240 Speaker 1: also note a very important distinction, and this has to 1016 01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:14,800 Speaker 1: do with the mindset between emotional status Democrats and generally speaking, 1017 01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:18,720 Speaker 1: the conservatives who work in the government. When there's a 1018 01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:24,760 Speaker 1: Republican president. You get these just deeply damaging leaks. Sometimes 1019 01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,080 Speaker 1: they'll just really damage national security, but they'll do it 1020 01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,120 Speaker 1: in a way that it embarrasses the White House, embarrassed 1021 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,640 Speaker 1: the president. You don't have any of that with Obama. 1022 01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:35,880 Speaker 1: You know, this is like when we're talking about media bias. 1023 01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:38,720 Speaker 1: It's so obvious, yet a lot of people pretend it's 1024 01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:44,000 Speaker 1: not there. There's a leak bias, my friends, where are 1025 01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,520 Speaker 1: the big damaging leaks about the Obama administration? In fact, 1026 01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:51,840 Speaker 1: you had the opposite of that. You had government apparatus 1027 01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:55,720 Speaker 1: helping Obama targeting the Tea Party during with with the 1028 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,640 Speaker 1: I r S scandal and then covering up that information. 1029 01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:02,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, those servers were that they were destroyed. I 1030 01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:06,320 Speaker 1: r S servers destroyed, literally chopped up in the in 1031 01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:08,800 Speaker 1: the landfill, piece by piece. Nothing you can do with 1032 01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:11,640 Speaker 1: them anymore. Oh you know, it's just an accident, just happened. 1033 01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:15,120 Speaker 1: Mechanically destroyed the hard drives that might have information about 1034 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:21,880 Speaker 1: the I r S targeting. Hillary Clinton wiped servers using 1035 01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,160 Speaker 1: the most advanced technology she could get her hands on. 1036 01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:27,720 Speaker 1: But oh, you know, she didn't think there was anything wrong. Now, 1037 01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,200 Speaker 1: that's just norm right, that's just like tot's what people do, 1038 01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:36,200 Speaker 1: n b D. No big deal for the gen xers 1039 01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:40,640 Speaker 1: and above out there. But and now we've got the 1040 01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:42,640 Speaker 1: missing text messages, which we'll see if they find them. 1041 01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:44,480 Speaker 1: I think they realized they're going to have to produce 1042 01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:48,920 Speaker 1: these things because if they don't, and that doesn't mean 1043 01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:50,840 Speaker 1: that somebody didn't try to delete them, I would know 1044 01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,640 Speaker 1: someone in the know. They may have got rid of 1045 01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,560 Speaker 1: them at at the first level, hoping that you know, 1046 01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:58,800 Speaker 1: they can wait this thing out or whatever. You know, 1047 01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,120 Speaker 1: people are desperate. This is the cover up often is 1048 01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,280 Speaker 1: where you get caught, not the crime. People get desperate. 1049 01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,200 Speaker 1: They try to just do whatever they can to hide 1050 01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:09,560 Speaker 1: the facts. Doesn't mean that there are some genius mastermind 1051 01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:12,960 Speaker 1: when they're doing it. But Okay, back to shift in 1052 01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:14,560 Speaker 1: the fives and memo here, because I know I got 1053 01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:19,480 Speaker 1: a little bit off topic of that for a second. Um, 1054 01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:22,000 Speaker 1: we have a right to know what's in there, the 1055 01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,920 Speaker 1: American people right to know. And the notion that that 1056 01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,800 Speaker 1: the secrecy outweighs are right to know is just nonsense. 1057 01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,760 Speaker 1: It's crap. Here's a little secret. I'll tell all of you. 1058 01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:34,480 Speaker 1: A vast majority of government classified information is wildly overclassified, 1059 01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:37,640 Speaker 1: a vast majority of it. A lot of stuff that 1060 01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:40,280 Speaker 1: is marked secret. And I mean I've seen I spent 1061 01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:42,880 Speaker 1: years of my life, right, I spent gosh, I don't know, 1062 01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:47,080 Speaker 1: six six years or so reading stuff that was from 1063 01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:48,840 Speaker 1: the open source all the way up to top secret 1064 01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:52,960 Speaker 1: and above. Just reading stuff all the time, and a 1065 01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:54,960 Speaker 1: lot of stuff that was marked you know, secret or 1066 01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:58,800 Speaker 1: stuff that's more confidential. You'd say me, I mean I 1067 01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,080 Speaker 1: kind of knew that, you know, it's not really and 1068 01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:02,680 Speaker 1: it has to do usually with the source. How do 1069 01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:05,080 Speaker 1: you get the information is often the bigger deal, not 1070 01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:07,640 Speaker 1: what is the information, but a lot of stuff you'd 1071 01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:11,240 Speaker 1: see You're like, I mean, come on, you know, yeah, 1072 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:17,440 Speaker 1: confidential assessment US government property. Eagles fans are likely to 1073 01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:20,800 Speaker 1: get somewhat inebriated during the upcoming Super Bowl. I mean, 1074 01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,240 Speaker 1: you can mark that confidential because you got an inside 1075 01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,840 Speaker 1: source with the Eagles. But you know, I think it's 1076 01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:27,600 Speaker 1: fair to say that there's gonna be some heavy drinking 1077 01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:30,440 Speaker 1: at that Super Bowl, right. Not that I'm letting the 1078 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,440 Speaker 1: Pats fans off easy either, I'm just saying people are 1079 01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:37,200 Speaker 1: gonna be partying pretty hard. I think so gosh, it's 1080 01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:41,480 Speaker 1: like the Uncle Sam ball to the Eagles and the Patriots. Anyway, Uh, 1081 01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:44,720 Speaker 1: A lot of informations are classified, so start with that. 1082 01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:49,720 Speaker 1: Then you get to the next level here, which is okay, 1083 01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:53,720 Speaker 1: so redact the information, redact what you need to protect 1084 01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:58,680 Speaker 1: sources and methods. Great, do that, that's fine. I still 1085 01:06:58,720 --> 01:06:59,840 Speaker 1: want to know what's in there. I want to know 1086 01:06:59,880 --> 01:07:01,560 Speaker 1: what in these men, what's in this memo and what 1087 01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:06,000 Speaker 1: was done. And there's no good argument that Democrats have 1088 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,200 Speaker 1: for not allowing that. But there's already been this party 1089 01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:10,120 Speaker 1: line vote of oh no, the Democrats don't want this 1090 01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:14,520 Speaker 1: stuff to be out there, which I guess they're just 1091 01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:16,919 Speaker 1: hoping against hope that we will forget about this. It'll 1092 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:18,960 Speaker 1: move on. They can use procedure and hide behind it. 1093 01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:21,480 Speaker 1: For those who are asking, by the way, did Trump 1094 01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:26,600 Speaker 1: uh or ken Trump declassify? The answer is yes. But 1095 01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:30,480 Speaker 1: if Trump were to declassify this, and it's a little 1096 01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:32,920 Speaker 1: more complicated than that, but yeah, technically the commander in 1097 01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,320 Speaker 1: chief does have declassification authority. If Trump did it, can 1098 01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:40,959 Speaker 1: you imagine the outcry, Oh, he's he's he's under investigation, 1099 01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:43,360 Speaker 1: he's polluted the investigation. Look what he's done. Look what 1100 01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,040 Speaker 1: he's done, right, And then the whole story becomes not 1101 01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,880 Speaker 1: what's in there, not what's in the memo, but oh 1102 01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:51,200 Speaker 1: Trump is you know, he's intruded on this. We need 1103 01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:54,280 Speaker 1: another special council investigate Trump because he's you know, blah 1104 01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:56,760 Speaker 1: blah all that stuff. And I know you're like Buck. 1105 01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:58,520 Speaker 1: Just hearing that from you makes me want to punch 1106 01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:00,440 Speaker 1: myself in the face. And I understand that, but that's 1107 01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:02,880 Speaker 1: what would happen. Trust me, makes me want to punch 1108 01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:07,560 Speaker 1: myself in the face. Step. So on the declassification side 1109 01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:08,920 Speaker 1: of things, that can be done, it should be done, 1110 01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,560 Speaker 1: it must be done. There's an obligation here, and people 1111 01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:17,639 Speaker 1: like Shift have these pathetic reasons because they're just they're 1112 01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:20,240 Speaker 1: just clinging to I don't know what they're the last 1113 01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:24,680 Speaker 1: hopes here that somehow this won't become public knowledge. Why 1114 01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:27,440 Speaker 1: not allow people to look at it and let Americans 1115 01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:31,280 Speaker 1: make the decision for themselves about whether it's useful information 1116 01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:34,200 Speaker 1: or not. Well, because the American people, unfortunately don't have 1117 01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:38,360 Speaker 1: the underlying materials and therefore they can't see how distorted, 1118 01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:45,400 Speaker 1: uh and misleading this document is. Mm hmm, No, I 1119 01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,400 Speaker 1: think we can trust we can trust the American people 1120 01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:50,200 Speaker 1: to see this there shift. But isn't that an interesting 1121 01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:52,680 Speaker 1: little moment there? You do get the sense from that 1122 01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:54,800 Speaker 1: statement that he knows that it would be bad if 1123 01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:56,920 Speaker 1: I got if it got out there, it's gonna be 1124 01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:00,360 Speaker 1: bad for the Democrats. How bad I don't oh yet. 1125 01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:07,040 Speaker 1: But not having the underlying information, Uh, if it's bad, 1126 01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,880 Speaker 1: they could explain to us what that underlying information would 1127 01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:13,320 Speaker 1: be if necessary, Right, there'd be some way that they 1128 01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:16,120 Speaker 1: could make this. They could put this in the proper 1129 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,519 Speaker 1: context for us. I as I mean, the Democrats all 1130 01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:21,200 Speaker 1: they do is spin all day, Right, he had a 1131 01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:25,200 Speaker 1: little bit of he was showing his cards there, a 1132 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:28,320 Speaker 1: little bit this. This memo is gonna have to It's 1133 01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,360 Speaker 1: gonna have to hit him where it hurts with the Democrats, 1134 01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:35,479 Speaker 1: I think, And so we will have to see much 1135 01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:38,040 Speaker 1: more of what's going on here. I'm gonna follow up 1136 01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:39,639 Speaker 1: on this. There's no way that we should not see 1137 01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:43,880 Speaker 1: that memo. And it is incumbent upon everybody listening right now. 1138 01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:46,240 Speaker 1: If this falls out of the new cycle, you know, 1139 01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,559 Speaker 1: pressure your congressman, make noise. Look, you can start a 1140 01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:50,880 Speaker 1: hashtag that can go viral on this, right, release the memo. 1141 01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:52,720 Speaker 1: It has to be released. We have to see it 1142 01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:57,960 Speaker 1: because this could take the whole wind out of the 1143 01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:01,000 Speaker 1: sales of the Mueller robe and everything else. I mean, 1144 01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:04,479 Speaker 1: this could bring it all crashing down, basically, And if 1145 01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:06,439 Speaker 1: that were the case, it should come crashing down, because 1146 01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:09,840 Speaker 1: it means it was all based on falsehoods, and I 1147 01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:13,799 Speaker 1: think it is. I think it was all right. Got 1148 01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:16,080 Speaker 1: to hit a quick break here, eight four four nine 1149 01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:20,080 Speaker 1: to five, eight four four buck, I'm gonna talking about 1150 01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:22,120 Speaker 1: this Turkish incursion to the Syria. No one else is 1151 01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:25,240 Speaker 1: talking about it, but I will. I know about this stuff, 1152 01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:28,960 Speaker 1: and uh, it's it's a big problem, folks. This could 1153 01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:30,960 Speaker 1: go away in a few days, or this could be 1154 01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:34,360 Speaker 1: the beginning of a much messier Middle East than it 1155 01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,240 Speaker 1: already is. So we'll get into that a more. Stick 1156 01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:50,960 Speaker 1: with me. It's just bumps me out. But it's a 1157 01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:55,599 Speaker 1: an indicator of how crazy the Russia fearmongering has really gotten. 1158 01:10:56,640 --> 01:11:00,000 Speaker 1: Back in my single days as a young man, and uh, 1159 01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:05,880 Speaker 1: the district of Columbia, I like to go check out 1160 01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:08,800 Speaker 1: a restaurant slash bar called the Russia House.

But when you run story after store 1191 01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,120 Speaker 1: worry about how the Kremlin is controlling Trump like a 1192 01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:04,759 Speaker 1: puppet everything, you know, this is what idiots do social 1193 01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:07,439 Speaker 1: justice warriors. Nothing is safe from them, right, Anything that 1194 01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:13,120 Speaker 1: gets caught up in the cause is subject to their tantrumps. 1195 01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,560 Speaker 1: And so that's why literally a restaurant bar called the 1196 01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:20,639 Speaker 1: Russia House is being vandalized, and there's like a kind 1197 01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:23,400 Speaker 1: of slow moving boycott against the place by some folks 1198 01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:28,400 Speaker 1: because Russia, it doesn't get much dumber folks.

We're working out and we're getting matter 1211 01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:05,000 Speaker 1: and matters. Were listening to you because you know, uh, 1212 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,040 Speaker 1: I did a lot of search warrants in my days 1213 01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:10,559 Speaker 1: and narcotics, and you know how sacred that act is. 1214 01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,840 Speaker 1: You swear and a firm, your honors on the line. 1215 01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:16,559 Speaker 1: You have to do it in good faith. And I 1216 01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:19,679 Speaker 1: see this and and I'm waiting for a perp walk 1217 01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:22,600 Speaker 1: with these FBI guys. And I gotta tell you, I 1218 01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,439 Speaker 1: think the American law enforcement community is just sitting back 1219 01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:29,360 Speaker 1: aghast that the Republicans even are piddling around. When you 1220 01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:32,040 Speaker 1: go to get a warrant, that's a sacred act, that's 1221 01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:34,840 Speaker 1: a critical and that's part of our freedoms. And I 1222 01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:37,479 Speaker 1: tell you what, this is very frustrating me. These missing 1223 01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:41,840 Speaker 1: texts and everything you brought up over the last the 1224 01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:44,519 Speaker 1: whole part of your show has just got me fired up. 1225 01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,559 Speaker 1: I'll tell you well, I'm glad that it's at least 1226 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,800 Speaker 1: worthwhile content for you, Dave, and uh and you and 1227 01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:52,400 Speaker 1: the you and the missus.

I mean that they're 1230 01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:59,000 Speaker 1: really harming. I think it's kind of ironic that Democrats 1231 01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:03,080 Speaker 1: were complaining some about how Trump undermines institutions, but the 1232 01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:06,120 Speaker 1: greatest undermining of institutions that we have seen since Trump 1233 01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:09,599 Speaker 1: took office has been from people in those institutions acting 1234 01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:15,120 Speaker 1: on behalf of Hillary. Right, comey and this whole crew, 1235 01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:18,360 Speaker 1: this whole cabal. Alright, Dave, thank you very much for 1236 01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:19,760 Speaker 1: calling him. And I think we've lost Dave of there 1237 01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:24,599 Speaker 1: for a second. John in Mississippi, what's up, John? Hey Buck. 1238 01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:28,360 Speaker 1: I want to put the rest of your concerns that 1239 01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:31,439 Speaker 1: this thing is overblown the spice of memo, the new 1240 01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:36,520 Speaker 1: Yez memo.

But I'm just saying 1252 01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:21,240 Speaker 1: at this point they better have the goods because we can't. 1253 01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:23,519 Speaker 1: We can't have a head fake on this one. You 1254 01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:25,880 Speaker 1: know what I mean. Well, you're saying you're not worried 1255 01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:28,200 Speaker 1: about that, and I appreciate that.

I'm because I have confidence in 1257 01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:36,480 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan's I've been watching him for years. His integrity 1258 01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:39,640 Speaker 1: quotation is guy high. All right, John Shield, Hi, thank 1259 01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:42,320 Speaker 1: you for calling in. We're gonna transition here in a 1260 01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:47,080 Speaker 1: moment into a buck brief on Turkey. Showing our Kurdish allies. 1261 01:16:47,400 --> 01:17:01,920 Speaker 1: We gotta talk about it. He's back with you now 1262 01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:04,720 Speaker 1: because when it comes to the fight for truth, the 1263 01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:11,200 Speaker 1: buck never stops. You are now entering the Freedom Technical 1264 01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:15,519 Speaker 1: Operations Center. All sensitive programs must be keV strictly need 1265 01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:19,720 Speaker 1: to know Team Buck is cleared and ready for the 1266 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:28,400 Speaker 1: buck brief a Turkish military operation into Syria striking a 1267 01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:34,759 Speaker 1: US ally on the ground. Not nearly enough media coverage 1268 01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:39,599 Speaker 1: of this situation, and it's one that could get much 1269 01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:44,519 Speaker 1: worse and very quickly. Here's what's going on. So we 1270 01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:48,280 Speaker 1: have been working to defeat the Islamic state in Syria, 1271 01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:51,799 Speaker 1: separate out the Iraqi theater of that war. For a moment, 1272 01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:57,200 Speaker 1: we're even working with Kurdish militia. It's really a Kurdish 1273 01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:59,759 Speaker 1: military force, but we just we call it a militia 1274 01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:04,599 Speaker 1: cause it's not technically Syrian national army because the Syrian 1275 01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:06,800 Speaker 1: National Army belongs to the Assad regime and there is 1276 01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:10,559 Speaker 1: no real Syrian government. In the rest of the country. 1277 01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:14,479 Speaker 1: You have enclaves with their own forces, and one of 1278 01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:20,040 Speaker 1: the enclaves a Kurdish ethnic enclave in Syria in the 1279 01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:23,880 Speaker 1: north and in the east, northeast, of the country has 1280 01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:29,280 Speaker 1: this militia called the YPG. YPG has been very effective. 1281 01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:34,360 Speaker 1: The Kurdish are a stalwart ally of the Americans in 1282 01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:37,240 Speaker 1: Iraq and Syria, and but they also have a long 1283 01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:41,360 Speaker 1: story and they have a long standing tradition of bravery 1284 01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:44,599 Speaker 1: and prowess on the battlefield. The Kurds have been fighting 1285 01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:51,040 Speaker 1: against dictators for decades and beyond the old Turkish saying 1286 01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:53,880 Speaker 1: that the Kurds, I'm sorry, the old Curtish saying that 1287 01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:57,639 Speaker 1: the Curds have no friend, but the mountains is very apt. 1288 01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:02,080 Speaker 1: They are in a sense hill people. They are from 1289 01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:05,160 Speaker 1: the northern part of Iraq where there are elevations and 1290 01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:10,200 Speaker 1: mountains um and they're also in the hillier parts of 1291 01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:14,320 Speaker 1: southeastern Turkey. In fact, the Turks refer to the Kurds 1292 01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:22,680 Speaker 1: as mountain Turks and have been very slow to recognize 1293 01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:26,519 Speaker 1: Kurdish language and are very concerned that if there were 1294 01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:29,000 Speaker 1: to be a Kurdish state in Iraq or in Syria, 1295 01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:34,880 Speaker 1: the separatist movement along the Syria Turkey border would only 1296 01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:37,479 Speaker 1: grow in strength and you could have a large portion 1297 01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:39,200 Speaker 1: of Turkey that all of a sudden wants to be 1298 01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:43,360 Speaker 1: independent and part of its own new nation. So the 1299 01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:47,120 Speaker 1: YPG militia, the Turks say, and I know that's there's 1300 01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:50,160 Speaker 1: no way to talk about this without getting into acronyms 1301 01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:53,240 Speaker 1: and ethnicities and a lot of stuff going on here. 1302 01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:59,879 Speaker 1: But the YPG militia is considered by the Turkish government 1303 01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:02,880 Speaker 1: to be indistinguishable from a group called the p k 1304 01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:07,519 Speaker 1: K of the Curtistan Workers Party. Curtistan Workers Party is 1305 01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:12,479 Speaker 1: a terrorist organization that has bunness. Has also been part 1306 01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:16,439 Speaker 1: of a separatist movement trying to create a Kurdish enclave, 1307 01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:19,880 Speaker 1: a Curdish state inside of Turkey, stretching back for many, 1308 01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:22,679 Speaker 1: many decades, and they have engaged in terrorist attacks against 1309 01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:27,519 Speaker 1: Turks and the Turkish government. We look at this and 1310 01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:31,439 Speaker 1: just say, okay, look, Syria is a nightmare. The Islamic 1311 01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:37,439 Speaker 1: State is making these terrible torture videos and raping women 1312 01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:41,160 Speaker 1: on mass and enslaving and raping children and cutting off 1313 01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:43,599 Speaker 1: people's heads and lighting them on fire. We just need 1314 01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:48,080 Speaker 1: somebody who can beat these evil psychopaths. And the Kurds 1315 01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:51,200 Speaker 1: are reliable. You know, you don't isn't an interesting. You 1316 01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:57,760 Speaker 1: don't have curd blue on green attacks, right, or green 1317 01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:02,240 Speaker 1: on blue attacks. Rather you don't have Curd insiders who 1318 01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:06,600 Speaker 1: turn on US forces and shoot them down like you 1319 01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:11,120 Speaker 1: do with Pashto recruits in Afghanistan and Sonni Arab recruits 1320 01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:15,519 Speaker 1: in Iraq. The Curds have been reliable partners in Iraq 1321 01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:19,760 Speaker 1: and in Syria, and they are along with the escalated 1322 01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:23,160 Speaker 1: air campaign of the Trump administration, for which for which 1323 01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:24,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't want to give credit, but 1324 01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:26,840 Speaker 1: it is true. Trump came into office and said, I've 1325 01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:33,200 Speaker 1: got an idea. We want to beat these evil psychos 1326 01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:35,120 Speaker 1: of the Islamic State. Notice how we also got to 1327 01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:37,519 Speaker 1: call it isis now instead of eisl Let's call it isis. 1328 01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:43,519 Speaker 1: It was bizarre. It was this pedantic nonsense with the 1329 01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:46,880 Speaker 1: previous administration. Everyone except the president and like his top 1330 01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:50,400 Speaker 1: appointees and government, we're calling it isis. He had to 1331 01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:56,439 Speaker 1: call it is anyway. The uh, the Trump administration came 1332 01:21:56,439 --> 01:21:59,439 Speaker 1: in and said, let's accelerate the air campaign. Let's let 1333 01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:04,160 Speaker 1: the military officers on the ground, Let's let the military 1334 01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:07,840 Speaker 1: military chain of command closest to the action make determinations 1335 01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:10,200 Speaker 1: about what targets to hit and when to hit them. 1336 01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:14,000 Speaker 1: Let's take the fight to them and clear the and 1337 01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:16,960 Speaker 1: doing so clear the way for the Kurdish militia. And 1338 01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:19,680 Speaker 1: this is why now Isis doesn't have RockA, doesn't have 1339 01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:23,400 Speaker 1: all this territory used to have, and it's now just 1340 01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:28,120 Speaker 1: lodged into a an enclave really uh, kind of no 1341 01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:30,920 Speaker 1: man's land between Iraq and Syria. Part of the world 1342 01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:32,680 Speaker 1: that I've spent some time in, and it looks like 1343 01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:37,160 Speaker 1: tattooed from Star Wars, just flat desert as far as 1344 01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:41,519 Speaker 1: the eye can see. And they've even set up now 1345 01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:45,920 Speaker 1: a Willayott Willayott, which is the old Ottoman term. Those 1346 01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:48,120 Speaker 1: of you who listened to the Shields High podcast, we'll 1347 01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:51,000 Speaker 1: kind of know what I'm talking about here, old Ottoman designation, 1348 01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:55,040 Speaker 1: provincial designation. They called it a williot and because that 1349 01:22:55,120 --> 01:23:00,360 Speaker 1: was the previous caliphate, the Islamic State has aken that 1350 01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:02,720 Speaker 1: terminology because they say they're the new caliphate. So they've 1351 01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:05,160 Speaker 1: taken up the mantle of the Ottoman Caliphate of the 1352 01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:07,400 Speaker 1: Autumn Empire, and they borrow the term will lay out, 1353 01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:10,719 Speaker 1: but they've created a euphrates will layout which is really 1354 01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:15,400 Speaker 1: between Iraq and Syria. YEA. Our friend Hassan Hassan even 1355 01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:17,840 Speaker 1: wrote a piece calling it Sirak, which I think is 1356 01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:20,960 Speaker 1: a good designation for it, and that's what they've been 1357 01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:24,400 Speaker 1: relegated to. And this is in large part because the 1358 01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:28,400 Speaker 1: Kurds have been clearing the ground while we clear as 1359 01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:30,400 Speaker 1: much as we can of the battlefield beforehand with our 1360 01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:33,479 Speaker 1: air power and then give them air cover. Now, if 1361 01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:37,400 Speaker 1: we want to have a continuation of the pressure on 1362 01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:39,599 Speaker 1: the Islamic State as well as the other groups, by 1363 01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:45,479 Speaker 1: the way, other Jihada sentities inside of Iraq, then we 1364 01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:49,519 Speaker 1: need to have a plan in place for dealing with 1365 01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,400 Speaker 1: these other players. You've got assad his forces are still 1366 01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:55,439 Speaker 1: trying to take back territory. He still views Syria as 1367 01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:58,280 Speaker 1: his country, and his regime figures it's just a matter 1368 01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:00,240 Speaker 1: of time before they're gonna take it back piece by piece. 1369 01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:06,600 Speaker 1: You have the Turks now intervening militarily and intervening is 1370 01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:09,320 Speaker 1: probably two general terment that Turks are blowing up our 1371 01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,400 Speaker 1: allies right now. Air strikes, dozens of air strikes all 1372 01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:17,320 Speaker 1: over uh this portion of northern Syrical in the region 1373 01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:20,479 Speaker 1: of Afrin, it's called a f R I N. And 1374 01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:23,360 Speaker 1: these are our guys that we've been working with who 1375 01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:27,360 Speaker 1: have been taken the fight to Isis and the Turks 1376 01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:31,360 Speaker 1: are saying there, p K K, I mean, who really knows. 1377 01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:36,160 Speaker 1: But right now you've got a force that has been 1378 01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:40,439 Speaker 1: backed by and helped by the United States military and 1379 01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:45,000 Speaker 1: very effective in beating an evil terrorist entity in Syria 1380 01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:48,080 Speaker 1: that had spread the jihaddest cancer into Europe, and he 1381 01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:51,280 Speaker 1: had all the mass cows of the attacks there. And 1382 01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:53,360 Speaker 1: we need we need a strategy here, folks, because a 1383 01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:56,720 Speaker 1: political solution is way too neat and tidy a term. 1384 01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:59,800 Speaker 1: But some kind of political settlements has to or framework 1385 01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:04,679 Speaker 1: e been has to be on offer here. You've got 1386 01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:08,680 Speaker 1: Isis now in a in an insurgency phase. They have 1387 01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:11,679 Speaker 1: been pushed out of the cities and the main areas 1388 01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,559 Speaker 1: of control that they've had in the past. But remember 1389 01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:18,920 Speaker 1: IIS came out of an insurgency phase to begin with. 1390 01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:22,360 Speaker 1: It was al Qaeda in Iraq back in the days 1391 01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:25,720 Speaker 1: of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq. A q 1392 01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:30,479 Speaker 1: U I was defeated thanks to the Awakening and US 1393 01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:36,000 Speaker 1: military operations the Surge. They were pushed out of Iraq 1394 01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:40,519 Speaker 1: proper predominantly and into this corridor between Iraq and Syria 1395 01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:44,400 Speaker 1: and into a period of exile slash insurgency. But then 1396 01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:46,519 Speaker 1: they're able to come back as the Islamic state and 1397 01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:48,800 Speaker 1: see his whole cities and became this huge problem for US. 1398 01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:51,960 Speaker 1: So you have to keep the pressure on. But what 1399 01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:55,640 Speaker 1: do we do about the Turks? There are NATO ally, 1400 01:25:55,880 --> 01:26:00,240 Speaker 1: you have a major US presence at Injury Lick Air Base, 1401 01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:03,519 Speaker 1: you know, the US military, US Air Force at Injo Lake, 1402 01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:08,240 Speaker 1: and that's on Turkish soil. This is a delicate situation 1403 01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:11,280 Speaker 1: for US because we gotta at some level there's a 1404 01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:13,160 Speaker 1: message that has to be said here that if someone 1405 01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:15,680 Speaker 1: is if a force is working with the backing and 1406 01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:18,960 Speaker 1: blessing of the United States military, and somebody else comes 1407 01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:20,639 Speaker 1: along and start of dropping bombs on them, we gotta 1408 01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:22,720 Speaker 1: be like, hey, hold on a second, that's that's a 1409 01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:25,800 Speaker 1: guy you can't hit. Were the United States? Sorry, you 1410 01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:27,720 Speaker 1: gotta back off on this one. Now. I know the 1411 01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,000 Speaker 1: Turks would say, well, they're you know that they're terrorists 1412 01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:31,800 Speaker 1: just like the p k K. We might have to 1413 01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:34,400 Speaker 1: have the talk with them where we say, defeating ISIS 1414 01:26:34,479 --> 01:26:37,679 Speaker 1: is a greater priority right now than anything else. And 1415 01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,920 Speaker 1: by the way, you know, are they really the same 1416 01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:42,760 Speaker 1: or are they just come from a similar region, have 1417 01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:45,680 Speaker 1: similar views about Kurtish autonomy, which by the way, I 1418 01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:51,280 Speaker 1: am also favorable to. And I certainly would never advocate 1419 01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:54,559 Speaker 1: for violence against Turkish civilians or the Turkish people in 1420 01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:58,280 Speaker 1: favor of a Kurdish state. But I understand the political sentiment, 1421 01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:03,000 Speaker 1: and I understand that right now what the Turks are 1422 01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:07,519 Speaker 1: doing with the Radwan government prim or President Rwan, what 1423 01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:14,280 Speaker 1: he's doing is not helpful. President Erdwan is allowing this 1424 01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:18,320 Speaker 1: to complicate matters already in a very beaten down and 1425 01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:20,519 Speaker 1: desperate part of the world, and says, you know, Sirius, 1426 01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:22,439 Speaker 1: still just recovering from a civil war. You've got a 1427 01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:26,680 Speaker 1: half million people dead, country has been ravaged, destroyed, and 1428 01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:31,719 Speaker 1: we finally have got Isis on the ropes, in large 1429 01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:34,120 Speaker 1: part because of our Kurdish friends. We kind of abandoned 1430 01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:37,519 Speaker 1: our Kurdish friends some extent in Iraq, and now I'm 1431 01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:39,400 Speaker 1: worried we're doing it again in Syria. This sends a 1432 01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:42,479 Speaker 1: message anytime we're going to try in the future to 1433 01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:46,800 Speaker 1: use indigenous forces for the purpose of defeating a jehattest 1434 01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:49,400 Speaker 1: terrorist entity, they can look at what happened here with 1435 01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:51,280 Speaker 1: the Curs and say, hold on a second, are we 1436 01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:54,080 Speaker 1: just gonna be fighting and bleeding and dying alongside or 1437 01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:58,840 Speaker 1: in front of American air power, and then when things 1438 01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:03,720 Speaker 1: got rough politically, we can't count on them. This is 1439 01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:06,640 Speaker 1: something that I really hope the Trump team spends some 1440 01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:09,479 Speaker 1: time focused on. I hope that Maddis has got this one. 1441 01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:11,120 Speaker 1: I've got a tremendous amount of faith in Maddie. I 1442 01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:14,680 Speaker 1: know a lot of people do. But the Kurds are 1443 01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:17,080 Speaker 1: being left high and dry once again here, all right. 1444 01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:19,200 Speaker 1: I mean, look, if Turkey's got problems with If Turkey 1445 01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:22,559 Speaker 1: wants to sit down and we we hash at an 1446 01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:25,200 Speaker 1: agreement where they've got specific individuals they want handed over 1447 01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:27,000 Speaker 1: for terrorist acts, that's one thing. But just to be 1448 01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:29,479 Speaker 1: bombing the crap out of the Kurds in northern Syria 1449 01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:32,840 Speaker 1: because they don't like the past actions of Kurds in 1450 01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:35,920 Speaker 1: Syria visa be the Turkish state. That's not that's not okay, 1451 01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:40,320 Speaker 1: That is not okay. I I know, and I am. 1452 01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:42,120 Speaker 1: I am pro Kurdish, and I tend to be very 1453 01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:43,960 Speaker 1: critical of Turkey. I'lbe I want to be honest with 1454 01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:47,040 Speaker 1: all of you about that. And you know, I've met 1455 01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:49,519 Speaker 1: many wonderful Turks in my day. I've met plenty of 1456 01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:51,640 Speaker 1: Turks that I really did not like. So it's not 1457 01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:54,559 Speaker 1: about that. It's just the Turkish government. The Turkish States 1458 01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:58,200 Speaker 1: actions I find much less helpful. They can otherwise be. 1459 01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:00,559 Speaker 1: You know, they could have helped us open up northern 1460 01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:02,479 Speaker 1: front in the Iraq War, but they said no, by 1461 01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:04,599 Speaker 1: the way, for their own domestic political reasons. But that's 1462 01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:07,639 Speaker 1: a another story for another time. All right, I gotta 1463 01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:10,599 Speaker 1: roll into a break here, uh eight four four nine 1464 01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:15,719 Speaker 1: buck And also, don't forget Shields High is out today. 1465 01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:20,240 Speaker 1: The Fall of Constantinople Part one is the podcast.

We'll see if you like 1470 01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:32,400 Speaker 1: the storytelling better.

I was talking 1493 01:30:45,320 --> 01:30:49,400 Speaker 1: to a friend who was a little I mean shaking 1494 01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:52,560 Speaker 1: up would be too strong a word, but was a 1495 01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:57,280 Speaker 1: little rattled because he had just heard from a friend 1496 01:30:57,320 --> 01:31:03,479 Speaker 1: of his and this is what had happened. There were 1497 01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:09,920 Speaker 1: some home invasions in my buddies general neighborhood, and it 1498 01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:13,679 Speaker 1: had become known that there was a crew going around, 1499 01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:17,720 Speaker 1: a few guys who were moving in a van, and 1500 01:31:17,760 --> 01:31:20,240 Speaker 1: they were doing it in broad daylight, and they would 1501 01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:23,760 Speaker 1: even put uh you know, orange cones like they were 1502 01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:27,080 Speaker 1: doing some kind of work out on the street, and 1503 01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:30,519 Speaker 1: then they would go in and just brute force kick 1504 01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:33,479 Speaker 1: in the front door, break through the window, and then 1505 01:31:33,560 --> 01:31:37,080 Speaker 1: just loot and ransacked the place. And they were doing 1506 01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:40,120 Speaker 1: this in the late afternoon, I suppose, with the idea 1507 01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:43,000 Speaker 1: being that they were doing it when people were least 1508 01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:45,080 Speaker 1: likely to be home. Maybe they had been doing some 1509 01:31:46,200 --> 01:31:50,080 Speaker 1: casing of the establishments beforehand, you know, meaning looking at 1510 01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:54,040 Speaker 1: the routes and times of the individuals who lived there. 1511 01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:59,280 Speaker 1: But as you know, home invasions are very very serious crime, 1512 01:31:59,439 --> 01:32:03,479 Speaker 1: very frightening thing to just even hear about. My friend 1513 01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:06,760 Speaker 1: was telling me that that his friend actually who was 1514 01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:08,920 Speaker 1: in the neighborhood, who who knew because this has been 1515 01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:10,280 Speaker 1: going on for a while and they're really trying to 1516 01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:12,400 Speaker 1: catch this team. I think it's a few guys, three 1517 01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:16,760 Speaker 1: or four guys um, all operating with this home invasion 1518 01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:23,320 Speaker 1: uh m o of same time, same moving around in 1519 01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:26,080 Speaker 1: a kind of a grayish van or something or beij 1520 01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:30,599 Speaker 1: or you know whatever, nondescript van like they're doing work 1521 01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:33,240 Speaker 1: and then they're just going to these homes, just breaking, 1522 01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:37,760 Speaker 1: destroying and grabbing everything they can. And my friends buddy 1523 01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:42,519 Speaker 1: was home, was home with his I think twelve year 1524 01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:47,400 Speaker 1: old daughter when he heard uh, he said, is the 1525 01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:52,599 Speaker 1: daughter thought that her dad at first was knocking on 1526 01:32:52,680 --> 01:32:55,400 Speaker 1: her door because the banging was so loud. The banging 1527 01:32:55,439 --> 01:32:59,280 Speaker 1: was them kicking in the front door. They got in 1528 01:32:59,320 --> 01:33:03,559 Speaker 1: the door, and then the father obviously grabbed the daughter, 1529 01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:05,679 Speaker 1: went into They went to the bedroom, locked the door, 1530 01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:10,840 Speaker 1: called the police, and then I think shouted down over 1531 01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:14,479 Speaker 1: the intercom system in the house that the police that 1532 01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:16,000 Speaker 1: they were home and the police have been called. The 1533 01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:18,479 Speaker 1: police have been called. Now the police response was just 1534 01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:24,920 Speaker 1: under seven minutes, which was pretty good, especially this is 1535 01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:26,439 Speaker 1: not a this is not in a city, This is 1536 01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:33,360 Speaker 1: out in a kind of suburban suburban area. Um. But 1537 01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:35,680 Speaker 1: I asked himbody, I said to him, well, does he 1538 01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:37,280 Speaker 1: does your friend I don't know his friend, I said, 1539 01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:40,800 Speaker 1: is your friend does he have a firearm in the house. 1540 01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:43,720 Speaker 1: He goes, no, I don't. I don't think I don't 1541 01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:47,040 Speaker 1: think he does. And I asked my friend, I said, well, 1542 01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:48,720 Speaker 1: you know you're on You've got a wife and a 1543 01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:52,760 Speaker 1: couple of small kids.

I 1549 01:34:10,320 --> 01:34:12,720 Speaker 1: don't have anything that's you know, for And I said, well, 1550 01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:14,640 Speaker 1: I mean, in a pinch, that could work. But I 1551 01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:16,759 Speaker 1: mean it's both action and and I think he looks 1552 01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:19,000 Speaker 1: up like a little with a little more punch better 1553 01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:21,960 Speaker 1: than nothing.

I mean that's I don't know 1555 01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:25,000 Speaker 1: a lot of you right now are like Buck Home 1556 01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:27,200 Speaker 1: Defense getting Well, he lives in a very blue state. 1557 01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:30,000 Speaker 1: The best he's gonna get a is a shotgun. I 1558 01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:35,200 Speaker 1: mean that's it's very hard to get a handgun permit 1559 01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:37,240 Speaker 1: in that state. So the best he's gonna do is 1560 01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:40,960 Speaker 1: is a shotgun. Can get a shotgun. There.

So people perhaps aren't 1569 01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:04,880 Speaker 1: gonna think anything of it. That's the whole scheme. But 1570 01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:07,439 Speaker 1: he's there with his daughter. Think oh, the cops get there, 1571 01:35:07,479 --> 01:35:10,080 Speaker 1: you know, and who loos to them?

Unfortunately, the guys 1596 01:36:10,760 --> 01:36:13,920 Speaker 1: took off, so nobody was harmed. Nobody was hurt. But 1597 01:36:14,200 --> 01:36:16,240 Speaker 1: it's just a reminder, folks. You know, you hear this 1598 01:36:16,280 --> 01:36:19,760 Speaker 1: stuff here and there about this this one, you know, 1599 01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:22,280 Speaker 1: as this was one of those stories could have gone 1600 01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:25,880 Speaker 1: very bad. And my buddy was like, I think I'm 1601 01:36:25,920 --> 01:36:27,479 Speaker 1: gonna be getting a shotgun on the way home from 1602 01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:31,599 Speaker 1: work today.

So 1604 01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:43,559 Speaker 1: I had a really exciting weekend team of deep diving 1605 01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:48,080 Speaker 1: into some history. The Fall of Constantinople Part one podcast 1606 01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:50,120 Speaker 1: is up on iTunes. You can listen on the I 1607 01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:52,920 Speaker 1: herd app. I would be willing to bet very few 1608 01:36:53,040 --> 01:36:56,840 Speaker 1: of you were ever even exposed to the storyline of 1609 01:36:56,880 --> 01:36:59,840 Speaker 1: what happened in that city. And there's a political correct 1610 01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:02,840 Speaker 1: angle to all this. I want everyone to be clear 1611 01:37:02,880 --> 01:37:05,000 Speaker 1: on that as I go forward with some of these 1612 01:37:05,479 --> 01:37:09,040 Speaker 1: history podcasts under the rubric of shields high. One of 1613 01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:12,360 Speaker 1: the reasons that you may come upon these stories, even 1614 01:37:12,400 --> 01:37:18,439 Speaker 1: as someone who's incredibly well read and knowledgeable, is that 1615 01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:21,439 Speaker 1: in most history classes, certainly in a European and I 1616 01:37:21,479 --> 01:37:24,679 Speaker 1: took ap European history for example, in high school because 1617 01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:28,080 Speaker 1: you know, I'm fancy, and we didn't even touch on 1618 01:37:28,120 --> 01:37:31,320 Speaker 1: this stuff. It's a it's a footnote at best. You 1619 01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:35,479 Speaker 1: know Byzantium, the Eastern Orthodox Christian Empire, what happened there, 1620 01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:39,920 Speaker 1: because it's helpful for the narrative of skipping right to 1621 01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:45,360 Speaker 1: the colonial period, meaning that the Western European countries went 1622 01:37:45,439 --> 01:37:50,559 Speaker 1: out and seized control, pillaged ransacked and enslaved all these 1623 01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:53,360 Speaker 1: other countries all over the world during the colonial period 1624 01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:57,240 Speaker 1: and are therefore responsible for the problems of well the 1625 01:37:57,320 --> 01:38:01,280 Speaker 1: third world, the developing world, but more speci typically the 1626 01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:05,320 Speaker 1: Muslim world. If you actually know the history, and you 1627 01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:08,040 Speaker 1: see that one in the Muslim world, particularly the Ottoman 1628 01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:12,519 Speaker 1: Empire was built on slavery. It was a slave trade 1629 01:38:12,600 --> 01:38:17,559 Speaker 1: that lasted longer, covered more territory, and enslaved more people 1630 01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:21,720 Speaker 1: than anything else in history, with the possible exception of 1631 01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:26,040 Speaker 1: the Roman Empire, right, but it was a vast slave trade, 1632 01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:29,880 Speaker 1: including many many Christian whites who were enslaved over the 1633 01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:32,880 Speaker 1: course of a few hundred years. That'll be a whole podcast, 1634 01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:36,040 Speaker 1: maybe even a podcast series unto itself, the white slave 1635 01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:40,200 Speaker 1: trade under the Ottomans. But that's why you don't really 1636 01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:42,760 Speaker 1: hear these back stories. And this is why I think 1637 01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:48,760 Speaker 1: it's valuable to pull it together in a podcast format, storytelling, 1638 01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:50,920 Speaker 1: giving it to you so you can share it with 1639 01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:53,760 Speaker 1: other people and you can hear yourself. Because I'm somebody 1640 01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:56,720 Speaker 1: who I studied Midy's history in college as well as 1641 01:38:56,760 --> 01:38:58,840 Speaker 1: in high school, but in a more serious way in college, 1642 01:38:59,280 --> 01:39:03,120 Speaker 1: and even there there were these gaps. It goes from 1643 01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:07,880 Speaker 1: the rise of Mohammed and the Arabian Peninsula to the Crusades. 1644 01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:10,200 Speaker 1: It's just kind of whoa Crusades comes out of nowhere, 1645 01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:14,719 Speaker 1: these evil crusaders, and yeah, there was brutality and violence 1646 01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:16,679 Speaker 1: on all sides here. The world was a very different 1647 01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:21,519 Speaker 1: place then. But you'll notice that there are these these 1648 01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:25,559 Speaker 1: leaps that happen and something well or some bits of 1649 01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:27,840 Speaker 1: history are often skipped over. And that's why I'm telling 1650 01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:31,519 Speaker 1: you about Charles Martell about the Fall of Jerusalem, which 1651 01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:33,840 Speaker 1: I know you're all familiar with, but just to get 1652 01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:37,439 Speaker 1: back into it, the fall of Constantinople, the Siege of Malta, 1653 01:39:37,960 --> 01:39:40,960 Speaker 1: the Battle of Lepanto. These are the stories that get 1654 01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:45,320 Speaker 1: lost in in history because they're all stories, well not all, 1655 01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:50,799 Speaker 1: but they touch on and are the result of Islamic 1656 01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:55,240 Speaker 1: conquest and expansion. Without that, you don't have these battles 1657 01:39:55,240 --> 01:39:57,760 Speaker 1: that I'm talking to you about, and that changes the 1658 01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:04,600 Speaker 1: whole dynamic then for Europe and America's uh blaming that 1659 01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:07,800 Speaker 1: the blame that we get for the state of the 1660 01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:11,920 Speaker 1: world today for any of these countries, particularly Muslim countries 1661 01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:13,960 Speaker 1: in the air in the Arab world, but elsewhere too. 1662 01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:16,479 Speaker 1: They'll say, Oh, it's a legacy of colonialism, that's why 1663 01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:20,479 Speaker 1: they have all these dysfunctions and problems. Anyway, that's so. 1664 01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:23,560 Speaker 1: So that's one I was talking about my weekend and 1665 01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:26,240 Speaker 1: I got on this whole separate, the whole separate line 1666 01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:30,240 Speaker 1: of discussion here. But I also did some Netflix watching. 1667 01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:33,160 Speaker 1: MS Molly was back in town. She was in Hawaii 1668 01:40:33,280 --> 01:40:37,160 Speaker 1: for work. Aloha love Hawaii is amazing. She loved it too. 1669 01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:40,000 Speaker 1: It's it's a it's incredible to be in a place 1670 01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:44,160 Speaker 1: that's so beautiful and and you're still on US soil 1671 01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:48,320 Speaker 1: and really sizeable concentration of US military power there too, 1672 01:40:48,360 --> 01:40:50,439 Speaker 1: so you know, in case some foreign country gets a 1673 01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:55,519 Speaker 1: little upity, you got the United States Navy and Marines 1674 01:40:55,560 --> 01:41:01,120 Speaker 1: and military in in considerable density given the size of 1675 01:41:01,120 --> 01:41:04,559 Speaker 1: of the Hawaiian islands right there for you. But why 1676 01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:06,600 Speaker 1: is amazing. She's gone this week again. So I'm in 1677 01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:10,600 Speaker 1: bachelor road, which means that I throw stuff everywhere. You know. 1678 01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:14,160 Speaker 1: It's like a Tasmanian devil, or the actual Tasmanian devil 1679 01:41:14,200 --> 01:41:19,480 Speaker 1: from the cartoons. Real Tasmanian devils are like small weasels basically, 1680 01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:22,639 Speaker 1: but the one from the cartoon would create these you know, 1681 01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:25,160 Speaker 1: you know, and go all crazy. That's what my apartment 1682 01:41:25,160 --> 01:41:27,439 Speaker 1: looks like right now, and then the day before she 1683 01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:30,439 Speaker 1: comes back, I make it spick and span. I mean, 1684 01:41:30,520 --> 01:41:33,160 Speaker 1: it is clean, right, There's nothing left on the ground, 1685 01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:38,160 Speaker 1: nothing left anymore. But I watched some television, uh specifically 1686 01:41:38,200 --> 01:41:41,400 Speaker 1: in Netflix. And I've said this before. I'm I'm just 1687 01:41:41,439 --> 01:41:43,640 Speaker 1: gonna come clean with you guys here. I watch some 1688 01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:47,479 Speaker 1: pretty especially when I'm doing a little bit of cooking 1689 01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:50,040 Speaker 1: or I kind of half watched some things. So I 1690 01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:53,000 Speaker 1: don't use the good shows for this. I use the 1691 01:41:53,439 --> 01:41:56,840 Speaker 1: background shows. Now I've already seen all the sign felt 1692 01:41:56,880 --> 01:41:59,280 Speaker 1: so I'm on my fourth or fifth iteration of that, 1693 01:41:59,320 --> 01:42:02,120 Speaker 1: So I'll put on Seinfeld in the background. But more 1694 01:42:02,160 --> 01:42:05,120 Speaker 1: often than Seinfeld, I'll actually use the show called Friends. 1695 01:42:06,200 --> 01:42:08,000 Speaker 1: And I was thinking about it over the weekend because 1696 01:42:08,080 --> 01:42:10,519 Speaker 1: I had seen a piece on Friday. I think it 1697 01:42:10,600 --> 01:42:14,240 Speaker 1: was Kyle Smith from National Review wrote it, and Kyle's 1698 01:42:14,360 --> 01:42:16,960 Speaker 1: very good, right, a very good film critic, and he 1699 01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:21,120 Speaker 1: talked about how there is a backlash against the TV 1700 01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:26,160 Speaker 1: show Friends, which is among the most successful and valuable 1701 01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:32,000 Speaker 1: television shows in syndication. Ever, more money in syndication or 1702 01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:37,240 Speaker 1: more money in residuals in syndication than even Seinfeld. And 1703 01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:40,880 Speaker 1: I think it's behind like Baywatch and actually Hercules, the 1704 01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:46,200 Speaker 1: legendary Journeys with Kevin Sorbo. It did remarkably well around 1705 01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:50,040 Speaker 1: the world, as it has a global audience. But I digress. So, 1706 01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:53,800 Speaker 1: Friends is this show that I look. It's I'm a 1707 01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:56,040 Speaker 1: New Yorker. It's takes place in New York. They live 1708 01:42:56,080 --> 01:42:59,120 Speaker 1: in the West Village, and it's fantasy land stuff. You 1709 01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:03,200 Speaker 1: got these roommates who are going in and out of 1710 01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:07,120 Speaker 1: these relationships. Everybody's funny, everybody is beautiful, and everybody doesn't 1711 01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:10,280 Speaker 1: really have to worry all that much. I mean that 1712 01:43:10,400 --> 01:43:13,160 Speaker 1: the apartment for the set of Friends would be one 1713 01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:15,240 Speaker 1: of the biggest New York City apartments I've ever seen. 1714 01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:21,720 Speaker 1: And they have jobs like paleontologists and coffee barista. Not 1715 01:43:21,840 --> 01:43:25,240 Speaker 1: exactly raking in the big bucks with those. But the 1716 01:43:25,320 --> 01:43:28,479 Speaker 1: backlash against Friends, a show that debut I think over 1717 01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:32,200 Speaker 1: twenty years ago, is that the humor is you know 1718 01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:34,519 Speaker 1: what's coming here, folks. This is why I started think 1719 01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:37,080 Speaker 1: about political correctness. In the beginning of this segment. The 1720 01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:43,320 Speaker 1: humor is uh misogynist, they say, homophobic, full of body 1721 01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:49,360 Speaker 1: shaming and white privilege and transphobia. So they are pulling 1722 01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:52,200 Speaker 1: apart this show. Now, the social justice warriors are looking 1723 01:43:52,240 --> 01:43:55,680 Speaker 1: at one of the most popular television shows of the 1724 01:43:55,760 --> 01:44:01,240 Speaker 1: last thirty years, and they're saying that it is unacceptable 1725 01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:04,400 Speaker 1: for all these different reasons. And it just reminds me 1726 01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:09,040 Speaker 1: that nothing, even in the arts, is sacred to these 1727 01:44:09,120 --> 01:44:14,160 Speaker 1: social justice warriors. I remember when Robin Williams Rest in Peace, 1728 01:44:14,200 --> 01:44:21,120 Speaker 1: when he passed away, there were some retrospective clips that 1729 01:44:21,160 --> 01:44:25,800 Speaker 1: were pulled together of Robin williams funniest moments and even 1730 01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:30,880 Speaker 1: those clips because he does accents and he does impersonations 1731 01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:34,759 Speaker 1: of people, and Robert Williams is probably the greatest comedic 1732 01:44:34,840 --> 01:44:38,400 Speaker 1: genius of my generation. I know, for the generation before me, 1733 01:44:38,439 --> 01:44:41,280 Speaker 1: people might say Richard Prior, they might have you know, 1734 01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:43,479 Speaker 1: I mean Eddie Murphy, and his prime is certainly up 1735 01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:45,759 Speaker 1: there to for my generation, but Robin Williams is definitely 1736 01:44:45,760 --> 01:44:50,360 Speaker 1: in the top five or ten, and that upon his 1737 01:44:50,439 --> 01:44:56,040 Speaker 1: passing we couldn't even celebrate his work fully as a 1738 01:44:56,120 --> 01:45:00,280 Speaker 1: result of the newly found sensibilities of the social justice warriors. 1739 01:45:00,560 --> 01:45:04,280 Speaker 1: This is crazy, right, Robin Williams wouldn't be able to 1740 01:45:04,360 --> 01:45:07,720 Speaker 1: do what he does now on television without running a 1741 01:45:07,760 --> 01:45:11,920 Speaker 1: foul of the PC Police and even Friends, a show 1742 01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:15,280 Speaker 1: about young people in their twenties in New York City. 1743 01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:18,559 Speaker 1: It's all it's like one big funny fantasy, right. There's 1744 01:45:18,720 --> 01:45:21,559 Speaker 1: nothing realistic about the show at all. But it's well 1745 01:45:21,600 --> 01:45:24,120 Speaker 1: written in it's clever, and it's it's not you can 1746 01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:26,280 Speaker 1: kind of turn your brain off. There's a little bit 1747 01:45:26,280 --> 01:45:29,040 Speaker 1: of uh, you know, it's not like you're watching something 1748 01:45:29,080 --> 01:45:31,640 Speaker 1: that's intense. You know. Miss Molly loves to watch these 1749 01:45:31,640 --> 01:45:33,320 Speaker 1: shows where they like bring in the Blue Lights and 1750 01:45:33,320 --> 01:45:35,400 Speaker 1: they're like, have we found the killer yet? And they're like, well, 1751 01:45:35,439 --> 01:45:38,200 Speaker 1: we found you know, we found one head over here 1752 01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:40,400 Speaker 1: and we found a leg over here. And I'm like, ah, Molly, 1753 01:45:40,439 --> 01:45:42,680 Speaker 1: why do you watch this stuff. She's very good at 1754 01:45:42,680 --> 01:45:44,639 Speaker 1: being the detective though she always knows who the killer 1755 01:45:44,680 --> 01:45:49,320 Speaker 1: is in the beginning. But I look at this moment 1756 01:45:49,400 --> 01:45:52,920 Speaker 1: in time here where you have the social justice warriors 1757 01:45:53,320 --> 01:45:57,320 Speaker 1: continuing to to gather and to to push even further, 1758 01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:01,200 Speaker 1: and we we do need to address this as a 1759 01:46:01,240 --> 01:46:03,320 Speaker 1: society and say, you know, it's just it's just too 1760 01:46:03,360 --> 01:46:06,400 Speaker 1: much they're not. They shouldn't be allowed to kill humor, 1761 01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:10,639 Speaker 1: they shouldn't be allowed to eradicate fun, and they're doing 1762 01:46:10,680 --> 01:46:13,640 Speaker 1: a pretty good job. There's a lot of stuff that, 1763 01:46:13,720 --> 01:46:15,719 Speaker 1: for example, I would love to do on this show 1764 01:46:16,160 --> 01:46:19,080 Speaker 1: that I can only talk to close friends and family 1765 01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:21,920 Speaker 1: members about without fear of reprisal. And I just mean 1766 01:46:21,960 --> 01:46:25,800 Speaker 1: in terms of doing funny accents or doing impersonations of 1767 01:46:25,880 --> 01:46:30,360 Speaker 1: public figures. But I can't do the impersonation unless it 1768 01:46:30,400 --> 01:46:34,880 Speaker 1: falls into a very narrow categorization. Essentially, I can make 1769 01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:42,560 Speaker 1: fun of uh, Caucasians who are male, and Republican political 1770 01:46:42,640 --> 01:46:46,800 Speaker 1: figures who are Caucasian, and you know, maybe I can 1771 01:46:46,800 --> 01:46:49,000 Speaker 1: get away with female too, and other than that has 1772 01:46:49,040 --> 01:46:50,880 Speaker 1: to be in very broad terms, right, I can't do 1773 01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:56,439 Speaker 1: regional accents. I can't do different ethnic accents. All of 1774 01:46:56,439 --> 01:46:58,840 Speaker 1: that is off limits. And at some point, when are 1775 01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:02,720 Speaker 1: we allowed to say we laughed together? We're laughing with 1776 01:47:02,720 --> 01:47:05,160 Speaker 1: We're supposed to be laughing together. It's supposed to be fun. 1777 01:47:06,280 --> 01:47:08,679 Speaker 1: It's not punching down, right, I know the difference between 1778 01:47:08,720 --> 01:47:14,200 Speaker 1: punching down and having a good time, And it's very 1779 01:47:14,200 --> 01:47:16,400 Speaker 1: it's very bothersome, you know. Here, I'm on radio, and 1780 01:47:16,400 --> 01:47:19,880 Speaker 1: I feel I feel constricted, and anybody else does. And 1781 01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:22,080 Speaker 1: a lot of what would have been okay, you know 1782 01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:24,559 Speaker 1: ten or twenty years ago, we'll get you fired now. 1783 01:47:25,080 --> 01:47:26,760 Speaker 1: So people say, oh, well, you remember when so and 1784 01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:29,120 Speaker 1: so did that bit twenty years ago, fifteen years ago. 1785 01:47:29,520 --> 01:47:31,720 Speaker 1: He's a superstar, so yeah, if he if he did 1786 01:47:31,720 --> 01:47:34,160 Speaker 1: that now, he'd be fired, he'd be off the air. 1787 01:47:35,360 --> 01:47:41,040 Speaker 1: And this is the anti creative impulse that is so 1788 01:47:41,240 --> 01:47:44,679 Speaker 1: profound among the social justice worries now. Not even friends 1789 01:47:46,240 --> 01:47:49,200 Speaker 1: gets past the radar. And if you look back you'll 1790 01:47:49,200 --> 01:47:51,360 Speaker 1: find it. I mean, heaven forbid. They figure out how 1791 01:47:51,360 --> 01:47:53,680 Speaker 1: many times in the James Bond movies James Bond used 1792 01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:57,640 Speaker 1: to you know, yes, I'm just going to Darling. I 1793 01:47:57,680 --> 01:48:00,519 Speaker 1: think it's tom for me to go do what I'm doing. 1794 01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:03,120 Speaker 1: And he would just slap women across the face. Happened 1795 01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:05,320 Speaker 1: a couple of a couple of movies, which is a 1796 01:48:05,400 --> 01:48:08,519 Speaker 1: terrible thing, but you know, hey, he's a fictional character. 1797 01:48:08,520 --> 01:48:12,320 Speaker 1: He didn't actually slap anybody. I wonder at what point 1798 01:48:12,360 --> 01:48:14,880 Speaker 1: we just go through what the what the Soviets had 1799 01:48:14,920 --> 01:48:16,840 Speaker 1: for a while where they were just erratic or or 1800 01:48:17,200 --> 01:48:21,320 Speaker 1: in totalitarian Islamic societies. Right, what the Taliban does? Just 1801 01:48:21,320 --> 01:48:23,559 Speaker 1: start getting rid of stuff that you find too offensive. 1802 01:48:23,680 --> 01:48:26,040 Speaker 1: Don't even critique it, just get rid of it. Wipe 1803 01:48:26,080 --> 01:48:30,200 Speaker 1: it from the public record. Very troubling. I know you're saying, Buck, 1804 01:48:30,240 --> 01:48:32,880 Speaker 1: I hate friends and I don't care about that show. Fine, 1805 01:48:33,040 --> 01:48:36,400 Speaker 1: although some of you secretly like it, don't lie, but 1806 01:48:36,680 --> 01:48:39,760 Speaker 1: this is it's a troubling trend, that's all. And I 1807 01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:42,000 Speaker 1: was reminded of it this weekend. All right, let's get 1808 01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:44,160 Speaker 1: into some Team Buck roll call right after the break. 1809 01:48:44,200 --> 01:48:48,240 Speaker 1: Stay there alright, everybody, So it's time where we get 1810 01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:50,120 Speaker 1: to hear from all of you. It into it Friday, 1811 01:48:50,160 --> 01:48:52,759 Speaker 1: So I've got a lot stored up in the Team 1812 01:48:52,840 --> 01:48:58,439 Speaker 1: Buck bank. Here we go, Team Buck, It's time for 1813 01:48:58,600 --> 01:49:04,040 Speaker 1: roll call. Don't know why I get a kick out 1814 01:49:04,040 --> 01:49:06,280 Speaker 1: of playing that one every time. I kind of I 1815 01:49:06,360 --> 01:49:08,720 Speaker 1: kind of like that one. So all right, here, here 1816 01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:10,880 Speaker 1: we go. A lot of messages coming in from all 1817 01:49:10,920 --> 01:49:14,000 Speaker 1: of you, and I am very thankful for them. So 1818 01:49:14,120 --> 01:49:19,080 Speaker 1: let's get into it. Uh, we have rick with the 1819 01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:21,960 Speaker 1: following right and in from Ohio. I'll be listening to 1820 01:49:21,960 --> 01:49:24,320 Speaker 1: you on radio at six pm. I'd like to know 1821 01:49:24,360 --> 01:49:29,599 Speaker 1: why everyone talks around why we can why we can 1822 01:49:29,640 --> 01:49:33,520 Speaker 1: get answers on I think he means can't the Muller investigation. 1823 01:49:33,960 --> 01:49:36,720 Speaker 1: He has never been investigating the collusion with Russia. It's 1824 01:49:36,760 --> 01:49:40,160 Speaker 1: just a diversion. They're just buying time so they can 1825 01:49:40,200 --> 01:49:43,519 Speaker 1: scrub themselves of all the facts of their collusion and 1826 01:49:43,640 --> 01:49:46,720 Speaker 1: law breaking for Clinton's sake. It's clear that was all 1827 01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:50,320 Speaker 1: manufactured for that purpose. Well, Rick, I think it's becoming 1828 01:49:51,040 --> 01:49:54,160 Speaker 1: more clear. I think we are getting closer to that 1829 01:49:54,240 --> 01:49:57,800 Speaker 1: than we ever have been before. But I'm not I 1830 01:49:58,280 --> 01:50:02,000 Speaker 1: couldn't yet take it to court, so speak all right? Uh, 1831 01:50:02,160 --> 01:50:06,759 Speaker 1: Karina writes in where's the latest Shields High podcast? Karna, 1832 01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:08,680 Speaker 1: It was like an hour late today. It's supposed to 1833 01:50:08,720 --> 01:50:11,000 Speaker 1: go up usually at three Eastern, but had to do 1834 01:50:11,040 --> 01:50:13,759 Speaker 1: some last minute audio edits to it. But the Fall 1835 01:50:13,800 --> 01:50:18,639 Speaker 1: of Constantinople Part one is up on iTunes. For whatever reason, 1836 01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:21,200 Speaker 1: people seem to like. I just based on feedback, they 1837 01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:23,920 Speaker 1: like Charles Martell and that story a little more than 1838 01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:28,120 Speaker 1: the Fall of Jerusalem or the Conquest of Jerusalem. I'm 1839 01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:30,200 Speaker 1: hoping that you think the Fall of Contents and Nople 1840 01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:34,439 Speaker 1: is the best one yet. It's certainly among the most 1841 01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:36,680 Speaker 1: important stories that I will be telling all of you 1842 01:50:36,760 --> 01:50:39,960 Speaker 1: for what it meant for the future, UH, for the 1843 01:50:39,960 --> 01:50:43,800 Speaker 1: future of Christendom as well as Islam. Dave with the 1844 01:50:43,800 --> 01:50:47,920 Speaker 1: following why is Schumer allowed to address the media unchallenged 1845 01:50:48,040 --> 01:50:52,879 Speaker 1: and mischaracterized the power situation and negotiation? It's like Bush 1846 01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:56,200 Speaker 1: and Pelosi all over again. Well, Dave, Schumer can say 1847 01:50:56,240 --> 01:51:00,800 Speaker 1: whatever he wants, and he certainly does, but at in 1848 01:51:00,840 --> 01:51:04,960 Speaker 1: this case, I think has been defeated. I think Trump 1849 01:51:05,040 --> 01:51:06,680 Speaker 1: is the reason I was saying all along. I think 1850 01:51:06,680 --> 01:51:09,519 Speaker 1: Trump has been the X factor here and it has 1851 01:51:09,640 --> 01:51:12,040 Speaker 1: changed the game. The Democrats can't get away with now 1852 01:51:12,080 --> 01:51:17,960 Speaker 1: what they used to. Chadwick right soon with the following, 1853 01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:25,920 Speaker 1: Buck do you take requests for buck slab the the UH? 1854 01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:29,400 Speaker 1: Can you please deliver an epic buck slap of Evan McMullan. 1855 01:51:29,840 --> 01:51:33,080 Speaker 1: He's basically the grossest example of the never trumpers and 1856 01:51:33,120 --> 01:51:36,760 Speaker 1: a useful idiot that leftist MSM love to trot out. 1857 01:51:37,120 --> 01:51:39,439 Speaker 1: I remember you having him on your show and him 1858 01:51:39,479 --> 01:51:43,559 Speaker 1: presenting himself as a conscientious conservative. He's an impostor. It's 1859 01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:47,760 Speaker 1: time for UH him to take It's time for him 1860 01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:50,880 Speaker 1: to This is not really Chadwick. We had a little 1861 01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:53,040 Speaker 1: bit of a typo here. I think it's time for 1862 01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:56,759 Speaker 1: any him to take his race baiting, never Trump side 1863 01:51:56,760 --> 01:52:02,160 Speaker 1: show and join the join the Democratic Party. Okay, yes 1864 01:52:02,360 --> 01:52:06,360 Speaker 1: on Chadwick? Uh? Or yes on Evan McMullan. I agree 1865 01:52:06,360 --> 01:52:09,920 Speaker 1: with you Chadwick that he has gone over to the 1866 01:52:09,920 --> 01:52:12,920 Speaker 1: other side now he is doing the left work for them, 1867 01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:15,160 Speaker 1: and I guess we'll pull some of his audio out. 1868 01:52:15,160 --> 01:52:18,559 Speaker 1: You know, I tend to I tend to lay off 1869 01:52:18,640 --> 01:52:22,280 Speaker 1: some of my former government government brethren um out of 1870 01:52:22,320 --> 01:52:26,799 Speaker 1: a sense of I don't know, you know, formerly formerly 1871 01:52:26,840 --> 01:52:31,000 Speaker 1: from the same team. But in this case, I yeah, 1872 01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:34,519 Speaker 1: he's he's gotten pretty pretty irritating. I have to agree 1873 01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:37,599 Speaker 1: with Chadwick, so I'll look for an opportunity to remember. 1874 01:52:37,640 --> 01:52:40,120 Speaker 1: I go after people's content. I don't like to make 1875 01:52:40,160 --> 01:52:43,559 Speaker 1: fun of you know, their appearance or there, you know, 1876 01:52:43,640 --> 01:52:45,640 Speaker 1: their their wives or any of that. I leave that 1877 01:52:45,720 --> 01:52:49,519 Speaker 1: to other people who are ungallant and don't have enough 1878 01:52:49,560 --> 01:52:53,800 Speaker 1: thoughts and content, so they go for the nasty stuff. Uh. 1879 01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:57,559 Speaker 1: John writes in spreading, Oh wait, no, he gave me 1880 01:52:57,600 --> 01:53:01,000 Speaker 1: this one chields high buck. I love the History podcast. 1881 01:53:01,080 --> 01:53:04,840 Speaker 1: Eager for more recently, I went to see Fano of 1882 01:53:04,840 --> 01:53:07,920 Speaker 1: the opera. Before the show started, they said please turn 1883 01:53:07,920 --> 01:53:10,000 Speaker 1: off your cell phones. Goes right along with what you 1884 01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:13,360 Speaker 1: said about Georgetown basketball, and I'm spreading the word about 1885 01:53:13,360 --> 01:53:16,639 Speaker 1: the Shields High podcast. John. The reason I haven't gone 1886 01:53:16,640 --> 01:53:18,880 Speaker 1: to the movies is because people always ruin it, because 1887 01:53:18,880 --> 01:53:21,559 Speaker 1: they act like savages and they talk on their cell phones. 1888 01:53:22,240 --> 01:53:26,640 Speaker 1: And that's why I haven't yet seen I haven't yet 1889 01:53:26,680 --> 01:53:33,400 Speaker 1: seen the um Uh, the Churchill movie, which I've been 1890 01:53:33,400 --> 01:53:35,479 Speaker 1: intending to see, and I found out today I know 1891 01:53:35,520 --> 01:53:39,479 Speaker 1: somebody who can get me a screener of it. So yeah, 1892 01:53:39,560 --> 01:53:40,960 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna make it to the movies. 1893 01:53:42,120 --> 01:53:45,839 Speaker 1: Let's see we have next here, Hold on a second, 1894 01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:50,679 Speaker 1: Oops Mark with the following Good Day Buck.
