1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: M you are entering the freedom hunt. Are the Kobe

2
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: memos his interactions with Trump going to be shared publicly?

3
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: And what could that mean for sank to Komey himself.

4
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: Plus Muller has abused prosecutorial discretion so many times in

5
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: the past. What should that mean about how we judge

6
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: McKay the FBI's number two, and the charges that he

7
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: may in fact face. Also, the Starbucks arrestes have spoken out.

8
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: We've got more on that and update on the North

9
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: Korea talks. Stay with me. This is the buck Sexton Show,

10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really

11
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a

12
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: great American Again the buck Sexton Show be end. No,

13
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: there has been no collusion. They won't find any collusion.

14
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't exist. As far as the two gentlemen you

15
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: told me about, uh, they've been saying I'm going to

16
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,279
Speaker 1: get rid of them for the last three months, four months,

17
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: five months, and uh, they're still here. So we want

18
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: to get the investigation over with, done with, put it

19
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: behind us. Welcome to the Bucks Actions Show, everybody. Great

20
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: to have you. I'm coming to you live from San Diego. California,

21
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: which I would say is sunny San Diego, but somehow

22
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: I brought the cold in the rain with me. Womp.

23
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: Trump is right. Trump is right. They are continuing this charade,

24
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: or charade if you want to sound really fancy of

25
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,639
Speaker 1: caring about what the truth of the investigation into Russia

26
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: collusion is. What, as we know, it is just to

27
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: get Trump never Trump anti Trump operation in disguise. That's

28
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: what this is all about. They keep talking about whether

29
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: they should pass legislation to protect Rosenstein and Mueller, and

30
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: as Trump has putted out himself, they run this story

31
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: whenever it feels like there's a hole in their news cycle, right, CNN,

32
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: MSNBC and others. Oh yeah, let's just let's pretend that

33
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: the the firing of Rosenstein is imminent. That will get

34
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: people to tune in. Let's get everyone all riled up

35
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: that it's just, uh, any moment now, Mueller is gonna

36
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: get tossed. As I've said to you, I'm much more

37
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: open to the idea than a lot of other conservatives are.

38
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: I figure, you know, rip the band aid off and

39
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: don't think twice about it. But you know, there's some

40
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 1: word that the Senate may go around Mitch McConnell and

41
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: take action on this. And as I've said to you,

42
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: I think this causes problems just from a constitutional separation

43
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: of powers perspective. The Senate can't be passing laws that

44
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: says what the executive branch can do within the executive

45
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: branch about appointees and decisions. That that's that's a no

46
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: go as far as I can see. Uh. But more

47
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: to the point about the complaints around the imminent firing

48
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: of Rosenstein and Mueller, you'll notice that the media are

49
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: not very good at predicting things. They weren't good at

50
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: predicting the the onset of fascism in this country. That's

51
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: what they said was they said that was gonna happen.

52
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: There's gonna be fascism in America because of Trump. Nope,

53
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: that didn't happen at all. In fact, countries doing quite

54
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: well by all the ways we can measure it. Still

55
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: a lot of work to be done, no question, But

56
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: they're they're not good at predicting what's gonna happen. They

57
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: have been predicting Donald Trump's regimes demise, administrations demised for

58
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: quite some time. I don't think it's gonna happen. In fact,

59
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: that we're reports today that Rosenstein has told Trump that

60
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: he is not a part of any criminal investigation. Now,

61
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: unlike the other side, we can't make too much of that,

62
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: because it is true that you can go from being

63
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: not a part to a part of an investigation the

64
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: blink of an eye. And when you have a headhunter

65
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: out there like Mueller who is trying to just take

66
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: people and ruin them, right, who who is on a

67
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: quest for deep state vengeance against Trump and his team,

68
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: you can't take anything for granted. But it feels like

69
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm actually not so bad at predictions. Those of you

70
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: who are listening to the show yesterday, remember that a

71
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: big theme what I started with was, you know, we

72
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: need to fight back, and the good people in this

73
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: country need to push those in positions of power, whether

74
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: appointed officials are elected officials who see things from the

75
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: same perspective as us, meaning that we believe in individual

76
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: rights and liberty and a free society and not some

77
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: kind of Democrat, single party state soft authoritarianism. Right. People

78
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: who don't they don't want that for the country need

79
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: to actually throw some punches. Not I don't mean literally

80
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: punch anyone, but they need to be fighting back, fight

81
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: fire with fire. And today sure as night follows day,

82
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: or is it as sure as day follows night, whichever

83
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: one of those things is the one you're supposed to say.

84
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: We have two instances of very deep swamp state dwellers

85
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: or wait, deep states. Actually, I kind of like the

86
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: way that came about deep state swamp dwellers or deep

87
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: state swamps deep swamp state dwellers, whichever one you prefer. Um,

88
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: they are on the hot seat. Now McCabe and Comy

89
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: may in fact get a little bit of justice that

90
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: they are going to be very unhappy with. Let's let's

91
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: take these, Uh, let's take these piece by piece. First

92
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: and foremost, you have the criminal referral within the Office

93
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: of the Inspector General of Remember of the McCabe situation. Now,

94
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: Andy McCabe was that guy who got fired. And I

95
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: remember when his firing happened. I was on TV. I

96
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: was talking about it over Fox and elsewhere, or I

97
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: guess just a Fox. They didn't want to hear what

98
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: I had to say about it at see ann no surprise,

99
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: not that I would go on anyway. Um, but when

100
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: he was fired, there was all these people in the

101
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: left saying, oh, it's terrible, how would they do this?

102
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: How would you fire McCabe? And then the Inspector General's

103
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: report came out and it's pretty clear, Yeah, you can

104
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: fire him because he was lying and leaking and those

105
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: are problems. Those are things that you're not supposed to

106
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: do when you are, uh, the number two at the FBI.

107
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: That's not the way it's supposed to work. So there

108
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: are real reasons for it. There are real reasons for

109
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: McCabe to get tossed. But then people start to ask

110
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: the other question here, which is, will hold on a second,

111
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: why is it if we are going to live in

112
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: a country where people like James Comey will be thank

113
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: to Comey so haughty about how people can't lie, you know,

114
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: in the process of investigations or to to federal government officials,

115
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: you can't lie. Well, shouldn't that apply even more so

116
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: to those empowered by the federal government than it does

117
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: to the average citizen. If the people that are given

118
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: the authority to show up at your home with guns

119
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: and you are not allowed to defend yourself, you are

120
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: required to just go with them when they say go,

121
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: and they can put you in a cell, and they

122
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: can do all of that because they claim that you

123
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: have had something untrue, even if you've committed no other crime.

124
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: If those people lie, shouldn't we have an even higher

125
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: expectation that they will be punished. Shouldn't we demand that

126
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: they have to live by the same regime, the same

127
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: rules that they enforced against all of us. And oh, yes,

128
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: that's right, Trump and Manafort and Flynn and the whole crew.

129
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: That guy Spurgan Skimmergan from the Netherlands who got like

130
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: thirty days in jail, Smurgan, I forget his name. Uh

131
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: he's Dutch. So I think that's normal that we would

132
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: expect that. In fact, I think it's more than just

133
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: okay for us to think that way. We have to

134
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: think that way. And why I was saying yesterday we

135
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: have to fight fire with fire, And I really came

136
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: in the show and I was just I was pumped

137
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: up about this because I go back. I keep doing

138
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: this in my head. I cycle through all the cases

139
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: the big political corruption case is and the cases where

140
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: there was a huge political outcome that turned on prosecutorial discretion,

141
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: And what do you see immediately when you just I'm

142
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: telling you. As an exercise, do this yourself. Think about

143
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: a major political corruption case where the Democrats wanted one

144
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: outcome and the Republicans wanted another, whatever it may be,

145
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: and somehow every time it goes against the Republicans, and

146
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: there's nothing equivalent on the Democrats side that I can

147
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: think of, And I can think of a whole bunch

148
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: of ones at the top of my head of the

149
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: Republicans Scooter Livery case, Republican got completely post completely ted

150
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: Stevens case, Republican hosed investigations never just even prosecutions, investigations

151
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: of big political figures. How many times do you know

152
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: of where a Democrat was investigated based on flimsy to

153
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: no evidence and either hounded out of office or forced

154
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: to lose an election because of a criminal investigation that

155
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: went nowhere. Because I could think of a whole bunch

156
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: of times has happened to Republicans. Right, Governor Scott Walker, Wisconsin,

157
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: they were trying to get him. You had a rogue

158
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: prosecutor up there in the state of Wisconsin, a state

159
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: prosecutor who was going after the governor. Locked a woman

160
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: up in prison because she made a phone call. And

161
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: I remember I covered the case. This was years ago

162
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: where everyone forgets about what happened Wisconsin now, but the

163
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: Left was they were going all in, throwing the dirtiest

164
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: stuff they could at Walker and his people. They locked

165
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: a woman up because she took a phone call in

166
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: a government building when she was supposed to be outside

167
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: of government building. It was a disgrace, and it was

168
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: a complete, complete backing all of prosecutorial misconduct, and it

169
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: was just grotesque, and yed Rick Perry faced their criminal

170
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: investigation with the threat of a criminal investigation when he

171
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: was a governor. Chris Christie any charges there Bridge Gate, though,

172
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: which I remember Rachel matt Out, who thinks of herself

173
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 1: as a very erudite person on the I think it

174
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: was a Bill Marshall saying was the most delicious political

175
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: scandal of her lifetime. So she's either really wildly disingenuous

176
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: or just not nearly in the universe of as smart

177
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: as she thinks she is in her audience thing she is.

178
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: It's one or the other. Because that was a boring

179
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: political story and Chris Kristy didn't do anything wrong, and

180
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: that not that I'm some big Christie fan. I don't

181
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: like the thing where he showed up on the beach

182
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: when it was closed. Everybody else, I'm just gonna say

183
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: that he forget about it. But oh, Governor Bob McDonald

184
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: another one. Supreme Court had to slap down those federal

185
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: prosecutors and this, folks, I don't even have notes in

186
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: front of me for this. I'm just rattling this off

187
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: the top of my head. And then you look at

188
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: the other side, Hillary Clinton, anything there, Oh, no no charges,

189
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: no charges. Absolutely violated criminal statutes in the handling classified

190
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: information and the destruction of evidence, by the way, and

191
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: I'm sure if they had tried to actually write down

192
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: what they were saying or cord them, they would have

193
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: gotten Huma and Cheryl Mills and Hillary lying and lying

194
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: and lying. I don't recall the answer to that one.

195
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: Something is really rotten and wrong. And yes, there is

196
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: a cabal. There is a Mulley, mull Mueller, Comy McCabe cabal.

197
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: There is there are these people that are involved in

198
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 1: these very high profile investigations that have come down on

199
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: on this issue in a way that is obviously partisan

200
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: time and again, and we need to put a stop

201
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: to this. And I used to think that maybe we

202
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: could convince them to stop abusing their power if we

203
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: just spoke up about it. But now I'm convinced. And

204
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: this is where I get back to yesterday and today,

205
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: fight fire with fire. McCabe bled The o i G.

206
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: Makes it clear, The Inspector General, the FBI makes it

207
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: plain and simple. McCabe's a liar lie to federal investigators

208
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: about matters that affect the United States government, affect the presidency.

209
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: He's gotta face, he's got to pay the piper. He's

210
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: got to face the full weight of the law the

211
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: same way time and again in his career. He has

212
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: done that to others. He has jammed up people for

213
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: far less. And if he has a problem with this,

214
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: if he thinks that he's allowed to lie, whereas the

215
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: rest of us can't. Just take a look back at

216
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: what Comey says in his book about how proud he

217
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: is of the Martha Stewart prosecution. Again, I'm not some

218
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: big Martha Stewart fan, but come on, she does make

219
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: the best pheasants scented cinnamon sticks, which she matches to

220
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: all of the drapes in the house. But really, it's

221
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: time that we hold these people accountable. And the only

222
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: way we can do that is to make sure that

223
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: they suffer the same consequences that they would enforce, but

224
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: all the rest of us. So when the i G

225
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: has now, as the i G has now turned over

226
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: McCabe to the U S Attorney for possible criminal charges,

227
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: they better have a darn good reason why they don't

228
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,359
Speaker 1: charge him, and it better not be we're just exercising

229
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: our discretion in his behalf. Enough of that. We know

230
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: that discretion is a one way street these days when

231
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: it comes to high profile federal cases and the Conservatives

232
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: get hosed, that's enough. No more of that. And Democrats

233
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: get to get out of jail free card speaking to

234
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: get out of jail free cards, and Democrats and all

235
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: the rest of it. It's not just McKay who's in

236
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: some hot water today. Call me, well, he's on his

237
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: book tour. He's talking a lot, you know, call me

238
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: forgot something very important. It's probably forgotten a lot of

239
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: things that are very important, like don't be a huge weirdo.

240
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: But when you are even possibly going to be under

241
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: suspicion for anything, don't talk a lot. As I always

242
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: tell you. And this is free legal advice. For me

243
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: to you, if you ever, ever ever are arrested, say nothing,

244
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: not officer, I'm sure I'm innocent. Not Hey, can I

245
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: get a donut? Hey? Do you want a donut? They

246
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: won't like that you say nothing. Comey has been saying

247
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: a lot Comy. He has made it very easy for

248
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: someone us to say, hold on a second, based on

249
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: some of your public statements, show you've got some You've

250
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: got some explaining to do, and we're gonna find out

251
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: some stuff now that could lead to a criminal referral

252
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: about James Comey as well? Oh what am I talking about?

253
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: What is this delicious teas that I have thrown out there?

254
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: Stay with me, We'll be right back. Not everybody loves Comy,

255
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: despite what he seems to think, the entirety of America

256
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: has not round like, Oh, come me is the man

257
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: we've been waiting for. That is not the case. Call

258
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: me got heckled actually at a book signing, and you

259
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: did not look. Anyone can get heckled. But am I

260
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: going to enjoy the audio we have of Comy getting

261
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: heckled in particular? Yes? I am, because why not? It's

262
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: my freedom hunt and I'll do with it what I

263
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: want how is it ethical to brief the president of

264
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: the United States on an unverifiable and salacious dossier, And

265
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: how is it ethical leadership to not tell him that

266
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: his political opposition, Hillary Clinton, paid for that. You are

267
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: not an ethical leader. You're gonna get prosecuted, Comy, You're

268
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: gonna get locked up. Now, you might think that that

269
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: that lady sounds a little bit like she could use

270
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: a nap or something, that she's a little little little tense.

271
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: But maybe she's right about Coby. Maybe uh, maybe com me'

272
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: is in some trouble. Before I get to that, though,

273
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna keep you on the cliffhanger with

274
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: this one before I get to that. Her allegation about

275
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: how you know, he briefed a in unverified dossie. I

276
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: gotta tell you if I had ever tried that, I

277
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: can just tell you this. If when I was a

278
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: little CI analyst, you know, way way down the ORG chart,

279
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: and I had said, Hey, you know what we should do.

280
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: We should tell the president about this piece of total

281
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: garbage oppo research, just so he knows it's out there.

282
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: People would have been like, we're going to escort you

283
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: out now, and you're not allowed back. But calmly thought

284
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: this was a good idea. Comby doesn't have any good

285
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: answers as to why he thought it was a good idea.

286
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: But play a teen. In January two seventeen, when you

287
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: met with President Trump and you did that oral presentation

288
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: of what's in the two page memo summarizing the Steel Dossier,

289
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 1: we know from the book that you talked about these

290
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: unverified allegations involving him in prostitutes. Um, did you did

291
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: you brief him about any any of the other things

292
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: in the Steel Dossier claims that his associates Michael Colin

293
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: or Paul Manafort were potentially working with the Russians? Or

294
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: was it only about the prostitute? Was only about the

295
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: salacious part of it? Why? Why only about that? Because

296
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: that was the part that the leaders of the intelligence

297
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: community agreed he needed to be told about because we

298
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: knew it and thought it was about to become public,

299
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: and if it was true, we didn't whether it was true.

300
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: It would be important to let him know this as

301
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: part of a defensive briefing. No, no, no, By the way,

302
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: the leaders of the intel community, you mean, like Clapper

303
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: and Brennan who are rapidly anti Trump, I mean hate Trump.

304
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: They wanted him to know. I think they were trolling him.

305
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: I think they were extending a particular finger in Trump's direction.

306
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: I do not think they were trying to do the

307
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: president United States of solid and I do not think

308
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: that they were respecting the power of the offices. They

309
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: held that to the topic intel positions, and also I

310
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: think they wanted to get it into the official record.

311
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: But let's talk about Comy's official record coming up. He's

312
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: holding the line for America. But Sexton is back. The

313
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: Justice Department is also expected today to begin the process

314
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: of letting Congress see your memos detailing your interactions with

315
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: President Trump. Is that the right decision to let Congress

316
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: see them? I don't know, because I don't know what

317
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: considerations the Department has taken into account. It's fine by

318
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: me if you don't care. I don't care. I don't

319
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: have any I don't have any views on it. I'm

320
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: totally fine with transparency. I've tried to be transparent throughout this,

321
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: and I think what folks will see if they get

322
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: to see the memos is I've been consistent since the

323
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: very beginning, right after my encounters with President Trump, and

324
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm consistent in the book and try to be transparent

325
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: in the book as well. Now, Comy's memos might be

326
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: gonna be shared with Congress, but they also, um, they

327
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: also may make their way beyond just that. Comy's memos,

328
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: if they get seen by the public, would be quite interesting.

329
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: I think here's what's going on. We've heard from at

330
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: least I think it was Chuck Grassley that there was

331
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: classified information there, and now reporting from seeing that and

332
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: others is that the memos are going to be made public.

333
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: Here's meaning. So it's one thing for Congress to see them,

334
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: but then they may be made public beyond that, And

335
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: this is how it's gonna go down. Um, they can't

336
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: redact what is in the memos for classified reasons, because

337
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: then there's absolutely no question Comey would have lead classified

338
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: information to the media right after leaving the FBI, and

339
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna be facing charges unless he gets the full

340
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: Hillary treatment, and all of a sudden, the law is

341
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: and the law anymore. But I don't know if Comy

342
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: can count on someone else to pull a Comy for

343
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: him the way he did for Hillary. I don't know.

344
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: He might be in some trouble so they can't redact

345
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: the information when I think it's more likely, you know,

346
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: so that you're not gonna get memos released with black outlines,

347
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: because that's gonna be us. You're saying, call me release classified.

348
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen. If they released them publicly, though, um,

349
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: then it would be a question of, well, is this

350
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: information that could be even considered at the lowest level

351
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: of classification. For example, is a meeting with the president,

352
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: between the FBI director or with the FBI director just

353
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 1: that discusses anything of substance considered classified information? The answer

354
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: is yes. So if the FBI director Comey sat down

355
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: with Trump and all they talked about was uh, you know, hey,

356
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: like you know, if it was Hilary yoga and whangs.

357
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: But you know, if they all that, he was talking

358
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: about stuff that no one really cares about. Okay, fun,

359
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, if it's hey, you know, Jim, just want

360
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: to know that you're on board with the new administration

361
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: and be come over to the residents and have you know,

362
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: dinner with me and Milania. Okay, yeah, that's not classified, right,

363
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be dishonest about this. And I'm

364
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: not trying to be sancta comus. You like that, right,

365
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm having fun with it now. But if there's any

366
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: substantive information in there, a conversation that deals with even

367
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: policy issues in a with any specificity between the FBI

368
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: director and the President could very well be In fact,

369
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: I would think in most cases would be considered classified

370
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: information at least at the level of confidential, right, lowest

371
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: level of classification. Uh So what would that mean, folks?

372
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: If they release information that's borderline could be classified, but

373
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 1: they're gonna say it's not classified. A lot of us

374
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: are gonna say, so the fixes it once again, right

375
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: because they know that they can't. They can't release stuff

376
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: that is redacted. And I think that there's a very

377
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: a good chance that we'll see this causes this causes

378
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: some issues one way or another. Um, if the Comy

379
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: memos are made public, then we will see first of all,

380
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: what Comy was trying to construct as a narrative. Keep on,

381
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: this is just his handwritten, so you're not gonna find

382
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: anything bad about Comey in this. This is a one

383
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: sided record. One of the reasons I would note, and

384
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: this is an important aside, This is your free It's

385
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: not really legal advice because I'm not a lawyer, so

386
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't don't I'm not actually giving legal advice, but

387
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: you know your your free bit of legal wisdom. Uh do?

388
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: You never want to sit down and allow and people

389
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: will argue with me on this, and that's fine. You

390
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: want an actual recording of a conversation that you would

391
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: have and by what, by the way, how am I

392
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: wrong here? Already? Don't talk to the FBI. You don't

393
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: have a lawyer, don't talk to the FBI. That's it.

394
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: There's there's not a like a maybe a sort of

395
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: a kind of don't talk to the FBI because I

396
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: know all the people listen to this show. If you

397
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: ever had to talk to the FBI and er bad circumstances,

398
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: it would be you know, for like a minor thing,

399
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. If you're if if they're

400
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: if there's like the lone ax murder who's listening to

401
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: this show somewhere, you should talk to the FBI, sir.

402
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: You you talk to them a lot. But for the

403
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: rest of you, I don't want you getting jammed up

404
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: on something small or even like getting Scooter libbied. Now,

405
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: granted he had lawyers and everything else, but they were

406
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: going after him, so you could be a h And

407
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: that's why I'm telling you don't talk to the FBI.

408
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: But also if you are going to talk to them,

409
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: don't allow for it to just be a record based

410
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: on their recollections written down, because they will use that

411
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: in court and that will be the only record. You want,

412
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,239
Speaker 1: an actual recording of the conversation, so there can be

413
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: no doubt about not just the specific words, but tone intention.

414
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: You know, look at all the process crimes, Look at

415
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: the way they go after people and what they go

416
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: after them for mine or stuff. When was the last

417
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: time you spoke to so and so. Oh you said

418
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: it was September, It was actually August. Guilty go to prison.

419
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: So with Comy, the memos are going to be a

420
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: one sided commy ist dar I even say, revision of

421
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: whatever the conversation was. So keep that in mind, um,

422
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you'll see. You know, Comey reminds me

423
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: one of these guys who I think it's Dwight Shrewd

424
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 1: in office Space, who like writes himself in as the

425
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: hero in his own you know, his own novels or

426
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: books am I right, John, Oh, I'm sorry. The office.

427
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: That's what I meant. Yeah, Dwight shrud in the office.

428
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: I know, I got office space in the mind in

429
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: the office. You know, he's the hero of his own

430
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: his own screenplays or novels or whatever. You know, other

431
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: people have done that. Uh, that's what Comey is. He's

432
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: like the the one great honest man in America who's

433
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: just trying to bring truth and justice for all uh

434
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: and making a lot of money by going around trashing

435
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: and sitting president doing it and playing dirty. There's no question.

436
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: And what he did was really unethical to use his

437
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: position as FBI director to wage a partisan war, to

438
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: engage in his own little petty vendetta and use a

439
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: cutout in the process and get the New York Times.

440
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: And I'm not the only one the things that's gross. Well,

441
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: there's obviously the DIRSH. We'll get to the DIRSH in

442
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: a second. It's up Dirsh. But there's also Jonathan Turley,

443
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: the constitutional law professor. He talked about this play clip seven.

444
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: I think that many career people at the at the

445
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: Justice Department must really find this quite repulsive that the

446
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: very notion of an former FBI director writing a tell

447
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: all book, uh is a virtual contradiction in terms. You know,

448
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: FBI directors have valued their circumspection. You know, they need

449
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: to have presidents trust them, and Comey has just has

450
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: really destroyed that. The fact that he rushed this book

451
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: out is inexcusable. He was the head of this investigation

452
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: and is now one of the cooperating witnesses. Nobody would

453
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: suggest that this book is benefiting the investigation. To the contrary,

454
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: he's undermining his role as a witness. And so the

455
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: question is why is he doing it? And the answers

456
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: where they're obvious. He's gonna make a lot of money,

457
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: but in the process he's gonna do untold harm to

458
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: the institution he once headed. You'll remember, of course, we've

459
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: been told all along that Trump is the one doing

460
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: damage to institutions. Meanwhile, how could after this Donald Trump

461
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: unless he had a you know, I think he trust Pompey, right,

462
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: there are other people, but how could he trust anybody

463
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: who was a holdover from the Obama administration at a

464
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: senior level. He'd be foolish too. And how could any

465
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: incoming president think that the FBI director that he or

466
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: she inherited would be not possibly a political liability. This

467
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 1: does absolutely undermine the confidence And by the way, on

468
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: my point about the discussions had between a president and

469
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,479
Speaker 1: a and a cabinet level official or were with the

470
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: FBI director. One of the reasons that information, Yeah, it's

471
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: tough that you don't want your enemies to know about,

472
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: so you have to classify it, so it's protected. But

473
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: it all seems to be classified because it's protected within

474
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: the government. If the president can have a candid discussion

475
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: with the attorney general or the heavy FBI, it impairs

476
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: his ability to function as effectively as he could otherwise.

477
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: So commies doing real damage here. Oh yeah, and he's

478
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: also weighing in on an ongoing investigation with a book

479
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: and countless interviews after leaking information. You know, there are

480
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: all these people who were so and I had a

481
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: few ye I don't know if we call them conservatives anymore,

482
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: but I had a few right of center friends. We're saying, Buck,

483
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, I've I've heard you say deep state before.

484
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: You you can't use that term. And then I have

485
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: to smack them around a little bit gently because they're

486
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, people that I'm I'm friendly with say, look,

487
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: first of all, I actually to know the derivation of

488
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: deep state and can tell you the history of it.

489
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: If you want to talk about all the coups in

490
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: Turkey in the twentieth century, I can do that. You know,

491
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: let's let's let's put that aside for a moment. Unlike

492
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: the other people running around. Actually, it can get into

493
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: this at a level that I don't think. I don't

494
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: think you want to go there. But also, what are

495
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: we to call this when you have a cabal, when

496
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: you have a group of politically energized and dedicated opponents

497
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: of the current administration using high office to try to

498
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: bring down a president? What is that if not some

499
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: form of deep state. I'm not saying the deep state

500
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: is the entire federal government. Was saying there is a

501
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: deep state within the federal government. I think that's fair.

502
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: And we see more and more evidence of it all

503
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: the time. You know, when you start to look at

504
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: this and line it all up, Uh yeah, let's understand

505
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: that they're really destroying these institutions that they are pretending

506
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is destroying. Saw this, uh this tweet. I

507
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: think it's from Chuck Ross over the Daily Caller. Worth

508
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: a reminder. McCabe, who was fired over a lack of

509
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: candor and is now referred for investigation, sent Peter Struck,

510
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: who was demoted from Muller's team, to interview Michael Flynn,

511
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: who was charged with lyne to the FBI. I mean,

512
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: this stuff is a mess and it's just gonna get messier.

513
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: And the more truth we find out, the more we realize, Yeah,

514
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: no collusion, that's been true along. Trump is right, but

515
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: the other side they have gone into the darkness because

516
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: of their anti trump mania and McCabe and Comey, one

517
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: of them, as we say in the NYPD, one one's

518
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: gonna get jammed up. It's gonna get jammed up. It's

519
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I'm not sure which one, maybe both, maybe

520
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: get a TUFA, but someone's getting jammed eight four four

521
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: night to five. If you want to chat my friends

522
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: eight four four nine Buck, you're back in just a second.

523
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: Lines are lits team, So let's get into it. We've

524
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: got Jake in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Hey, Jake, I don't

525
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: hear Jake. Yes, I'm right here there you are, sir,

526
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: what's up? Well? I heard you speaking about the reasons

527
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: for uh, Tolly talking about the jossier with Trump, and

528
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: I kind of think of it this way. I think

529
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: because of everything that was going on that he was

530
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: involved with that Tomy was involved with that, he was

531
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: very unstable and insecure about it himself and his position.

532
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: And I think in the meeting that he had before

533
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: this with Trump, Trump kind of dim was dismissing with him,

534
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: and so uh he even said in the interview that

535
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: he had this Panopolis that uh when he did this,

536
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: and Stephanopolis asked him why he did it, and he

537
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: said something about, well, I wanted to show him that

538
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: he needed to have those daily briefs. And I think

539
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: the reason he wanted Trump to have those daily briefings

540
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: is because he needed to have time with Trump so

541
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: he could kiss up to him, so he could ensure

542
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: that he would stay as FBR director. Well, you know, Jake,

543
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: I think you've hit on something that's that's important, and

544
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: that is that Comey would have been perfectly happy to

545
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: work with Trump, work for Trump as FBI director if

546
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: he could stay FBI director. Right, He's kind of Comy

547
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: is is a scorned man. He's not a a guy

548
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: who uh you know, he poses as a martyr, but

549
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: he's really like a scorned individual who feels like he

550
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: was done wrong by the presidents and now he wants

551
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: his revenge. And that's where I that's where I think, Uh, well,

552
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people, by the way, I've

553
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: noticed the really the the childishness and the nastiness of

554
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: some of Comy's commentary about Trump. But I do think

555
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: you're right, uh, that he wanted face time with him.

556
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: He want to face some of the president. I can

557
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: tell you, and thank you for calling in, Jake. I

558
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: can tell you from my own time and government that uh,

559
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: and and I had some FaceTime with with a previous

560
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: president during briefings that man, when you're in the federal bureaucracy,

561
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: time with Potus FRESI United States, there's uh, there's nothing

562
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: else that gets most folks as excited as that. Professionally speaking,

563
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: they really want to get in front of the the

564
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: guy who's the guy, or one day maybe the gal

565
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: who's calling the shots. Butch in Winston Sale, North Carolina, Hey, Butch,

566
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: how are you, Buck? I'm good, Thank you for your call,

567
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: thank you for what you do and trying to get

568
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: the truth out there. My community. Is that a lot

569
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: of these people. There's only two words used in our

570
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: constitution against people who are trying to overthrow and take

571
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: over our government. And one of those words is treason,

572
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: which everybody knows, but very few people understand the meaning

573
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: of the word sedition. And I recommend they looked that

574
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: word up and look at the definition. That fits a

575
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: lot of people, uh, trying to go against our government,

576
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 1: against our president, uh, in a lot of cases, including

577
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: somebody like George Soros. You know. So I think if

578
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: they're not guilty of treason, they could easily be brought

579
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: to bear for sedition. But you rarely hear that word

580
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: used anymore, but it is sedition is encouraging others to

581
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: basically turn against state authority. Right, So that's Uh. There's

582
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: the Alien and Sedition Acts of I think eighteen o two,

583
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: which we could talk about another time, but they were

584
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: quite unconstitutional at the time. We actually have a long

585
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: history in this country of truncating free speech when it

586
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: annoys the federal government. Enough, we think we're the free

587
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: speech country, but we barely are. Um. But thank you

588
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: very much for calling in. Butch I do appreciate it,

589
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, That's where you do run into, Uh,

590
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: you do run into the realities of people being in

591
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: very senior government roles who are advocating for a really

592
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: disruption of the government. You know, they want impeachment, removal

593
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: of the present, all the rest of it. Uh. Carl

594
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: in Lafayette, West Lafayette, Indiana. Hey Carl, Hey buck Uh.

595
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: I sent your message on Facebook. I don't know if

596
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: you got it about the the Swiss lab that it's

597
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: confirming that it was not actually Nova Chok used in

598
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: the assassination at Chimp, and that was it was a toxin.

599
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: It's called something BZ toxins. And the whole point is

600
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: if that wasn't Nova Chok, and we got a whole

601
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: different situation on our hands. Well, I gotta look at

602
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: this up. But I haven't said. I will go through

603
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: more of the Facebook obviously the end of the show

604
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: during roll call and also tonight when I when I

605
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: get home. Um, but I'll take a look at this piece.

606
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: I can't speak to it because I haven't read it,

607
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: and I would want to see. I mean, my first

608
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: impulse is who's the source on this one? You know,

609
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: who's in charge of putting that forward? But we will.

610
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: I'll keep an eye out and I appreciate you raising

611
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: it to my attention. Thank you very much, sir. He's

612
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: back with you now, because when it comes to the

613
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Welcome back to

614
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show. Our two is here. We've been

615
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: discussing a lot about Kobe and McCabe and how they

616
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: could be in some hot water and it might be

617
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: might be justice in fact that they are going to

618
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: be subject to. But I wanted to follow up on

619
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: our start books story. In fact, earlier today, I was

620
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: in a Starbucks because I'm on the road and I

621
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: was thinking about it. The second most populists or not

622
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: a popular, most numerous there you go. I think it's

623
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: the second most numerous franchise in the country. Now eight thousand.

624
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: I might be making up that. I know it's eight

625
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: thousand stores. Don't quote me on the second most populous.

626
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: That's probably wrong, although there are Starbucks everywhere. But this

627
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: story is continuing on as I knew it would. The

628
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: social justice warriors have leaned into it all the way

629
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: and MSNBC has gone into full uh racial teaching mode. Right.

630
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 1: They want to they want to have a teaching moment,

631
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 1: a teachable moment for the country based on this, and

632
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,720
Speaker 1: in order to do that, it has to be about

633
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: not just this incident, not just Starbucks, but you guessed it,

634
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: systemic racism in general, or as it's called now, unconscious bias.

635
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting they used the term unconscio is biased,

636
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: I think because it's less offensive to some people who have,

637
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: you know, who are of goodwill on this or well intentioned.

638
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: If you tell someone that you need unconscious bias training,

639
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: they may say, yeah, okay, I think I need that.

640
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: If you tell someone that you need to learn to

641
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: not be a racist, they hopefully will say, I'm not

642
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: a racist, though, so what are you doing right? So

643
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: there's reasons why they call these things what they call them.

644
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: But you had Dante Robinson and Rashawn Nelson who have

645
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: spoken out. Now they are the two individuals from the

646
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Starbucks incident. They have spoken out. We have a

647
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: clip from them. I want to make sure that this

648
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: situation doesn't happen again. So what I want is for

649
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,959
Speaker 1: a young man or young men to not be traumatized

650
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: by this and instead motivated, inspired, And what do you

651
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: want Rashan so you know, take this opportunity as as

652
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: a stepping stone, you know, to really stand up and

653
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: you know, show your greatness and that you are not

654
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 1: judged by the color of skin as our ancestors where

655
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 1: or anyone else. Just really taking those actions and putting

656
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: them in a place and you know, help people understand

657
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: that it's not just a black people thing. This is

658
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: a people thing and that's exactly what we want to

659
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: see out of this and that's true change. So put

660
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: action into place and stop using your words. Now it's

661
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: your gentlemen, not are you know, saying very sensible things?

662
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I can't I can't fault the

663
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: messaging now. Um, I think that you know that they're

664
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 1: speaking out and they feel very passionate about the subject,

665
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: and that's all fine. I just would like some answers

666
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: to some some questions, though, if not from them, from

667
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: some others about exactly what happened here. For example, why

668
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: is it now that the Philadelphia Police commission nor has

669
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: completely reversed himself and is backing backing off of supporting

670
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: the cops in this incident. And the chain of events

671
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: here was you have two black eyes in a Starbucks

672
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: they're there for a meeting, they won't buy anything. They're

673
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: asked to buy something, they say they're not going to

674
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: buy anything. And then the police are called within a

675
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: couple of minutes of them being there, and we I

676
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: think we haven't heard anything from the end producer, Mike,

677
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: let me know if this this is off base. I

678
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: don't think we've heard anything from the store manager. Still,

679
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: the police arrived, and I did see reports that these two,

680
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: these two gentlemen, uh, these two uh black men who

681
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: were at the Starbucks, refused to leave when they were

682
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: told to leave by the cops, and then the cops

683
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: put the cups on them. And as far as I

684
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: can tell, that's completely legitimate behavior from the police's perspective. Right,

685
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: if you if you're in, if you're on private property,

686
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: you won't leave, you get arrested, you know. Otherwise the

687
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: whole notion of private property kind of starts to fade

688
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: away real fast. But initially the police. You can't tell

689
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: me that the commissioner didn't know the facts of the case.

690
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: Come on, right, big national story and didn't happen, right,

691
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: He was backing them up until yesterday. Why switch? Why

692
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: the the change? Um? You have the commissioner. I'm trying

693
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: to grab his name here is I'm going and just

694
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: say that that as Starbucks store manager, they said it's

695
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: no longer with the company. But you're right, Yeah, we

696
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: haven't heard from him at all. Yeah, So so we

697
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: know that the manager's gone, but we don't get to

698
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: here from the manager. Do we know anything about the manager?

699
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 1: As far as I understand, nothing? Uh? And I also,

700
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: like I said, I would want to know why the

701
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: police commissioner, many days after the incident, is saying I

702
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: backed my office is and then is completely changing his

703
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: tune and saying that he quote made the situation worse.

704
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: The police commissioner is African American by the way, I'm

705
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: trying to find his name here, but made the situation worse, um,

706
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: by backing the cops. So I would like to know.

707
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: And by the way, Mike, why don't we grab that

708
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: if we have the audio of the commissioner speaking, I'd

709
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: like to just just play that on an air for

710
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: the for the record. Um, what did he find out

711
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: that was new? What did he get going that was

712
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: or what what did he come upon that was different

713
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: from what he knew yesterday? Is it possible that the

714
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: commissioner feels a bit of political pressure here to change

715
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: what he said. And what does that mean for those

716
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: those officers who made the arrest. Are they gonna be

717
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 1: sacrificed in this whole effort to be on the right

718
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: side of this politically charged issue. I don't want to

719
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: know some stuff. Also would like to know. This is Starbucks,

720
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: I'm assuming and Mike told me Richard Ross is the

721
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: name of the police commissioner in Philadelphia. And also producer

722
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: Mark said it was almost fourteen thousand Starbucks stores in

723
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: the US. I thought it was eight thousand Samson night,

724
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: I was way off. Um, So I would like to

725
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: know is there a video this is Remember it's been

726
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: a few days here and then they look no. Also,

727
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: let's keep in mind, it's not the police are overwhelmed. Okay,

728
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: they're they're not. You know, they're not combing through the

729
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: wreckage after an explosion. You know, a couple of guys

730
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: were asked to leave. It seems like people have very

731
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: real concerns that there was some racial bias involved, and

732
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 1: we'd like to just know what happened. But I would

733
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: like additional information, and I think, uh, one of the

734
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: things we want to know is isn't there a video camera?

735
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: Do we do? We get the so so we don't

736
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: get to hear the cop side of the story. The

737
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: police commissioner changes his side of the story, we don't

738
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 1: hear from the store manager in question, and we don't

739
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: seem to be shown. We only were only showing the

740
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: the social media video which the people that were claiming

741
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: there was racism. We're the ones who posted I would

742
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: like to know what the store video shows. Is everything

743
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: exactly as described by those who are claiming a bias here?

744
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: Uh so this is this is not gonna Like I said,

745
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: it's not gonna go anytime soon. By It's gonna cost

746
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: Starbucks a lot of money. It's not gonna be cheap

747
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: to shut down all of their many thousands of stores

748
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: for a day to do unconscious bias training. Um. And

749
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's just a matter. This now sets

750
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: a precedent that when there's a company that is not

751
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:31,919
Speaker 1: as woke friendly as Starbucks, that has even the mere

752
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: allegation of any kind of racial bias or impropriety, the

753
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: entire social justice machinery and activists and everything else will

754
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 1: just they will make the place crumble. I mean they

755
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: will go after it with everything they've got. Um and uh,

756
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: one more thing before I switch out the topics here. Oh,

757
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: and I can't switch up. Yesterday we had the guy

758
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: whose video is going kind of viral who went into

759
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: the stores. I've got to follow up for you on that.

760
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: But one other thing I can't help but notice and

761
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: now I'm really tying together our conversation from the last hour.

762
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: What we're talking about now, isn't it funny to you?

763
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: And I don't mean funny like ha ha, I mean

764
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: funny like that when the press reports on local law enforcement,

765
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: they don't get the benefit of the doubt. Right, Cops,

766
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:28,240
Speaker 1: constables on patrol do not get the benefit of the doubt.

767
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: They are uh often covered by the press in any

768
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: incident that's newsworthy. Police in general are going to be

769
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: treated as uh systemically, if not racist, at least racially insensitive.

770
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: And the the you know part of the school the

771
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: prison pipeline problem, and there there's just a lot of

772
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: and when there's a cop said versus purp said, as

773
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: that's what the cops would call it, per per perpetrator.

774
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: When there's a cops said purp said situation. We know

775
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: that the mainstream media always sides with the purp right

776
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: or or this, because the the the would be perp

777
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: would be what you could say if you don't believe

778
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: the person is even a perpetrator, but or the alleged

779
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: purp um. When it comes to the FBI, there can

780
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: be no criticism. The FBI is beyond approach, especially FBI

781
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: senior leadership, which has to be praised constantly and defended vociferously.

782
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: It seems weird, right because actually federal law enforcement is

783
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: much more likely to be politically abusive. Federal law enforcement

784
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: has all kinds of authorities and and resources that local

785
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: law enforcement do not, so you would think that they'd

786
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: be even more on the watch for the abuse. And

787
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that federalaw enforcement is good or bad

788
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: in this area. I'm just saying their watchdogs, the meteor

789
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: watchdogs against local cops, state police, they're they're always on

790
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: the lookout for what they're doing. But the FBI all

791
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, all of a sudden, the FBI is uh,

792
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 1: they hollowed institution that is beyond suspicion or approach. I

793
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: think that's what you I think that's a little convenient.

794
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: I think there's some clues here they'll make us think

795
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: that perhaps there's a there's an agenda behind that and

796
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: the wagon circling around McCabe at Comy and and then

797
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: also outside of that, in the I C. Brennan and

798
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: uh Clapper and Yates and Strock and all these people

799
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: interesting that they're willing to put aside all their concerns

800
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 1: about abuse of federal government power and police power and

801
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: the disparities between class and race and culture as to

802
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: how the federal government deals with them. And that's all gone.

803
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 1: FBI good, local cops not so good. That's the way

804
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:47,839
Speaker 1: that that's where the media treats it. I'm always like, hmm,

805
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: I think we should give that a little more attention,

806
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 1: because it's not because they love the FBI so much. Folks,

807
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: Uh eight four or four to five lines open, stay

808
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: with me. Discus the unfortunate incident that has been in

809
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: the news about this great city, um an incident that

810
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: I fully acknowledge that I played a significant role in

811
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: making them worse. For starters, I should have said the

812
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 1: officers acted within the scope of the law, and not

813
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: they did did they didn't do anything wrong. Words are

814
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: very important. While it is no excuse, my lack of

815
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 1: awareness of the Starbucks business model played a role in

816
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: my message. So what I'm confused here? That's the police

817
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 1: commissioner in Philadelphia was backing up his officers in the

818
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: Starbucks incident. Now he's saying they acted within the scope

819
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: of the law, but it was still a problem. Um,

820
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean over active within the scope of their duties.

821
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: So okay, what what's the issue then, and why isn't

822
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: he explaining what they did wrong or how they were

823
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: wrong if they acted within the scope of the law.

824
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: Also note that he's taking personal responsibility for making it worse.

825
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: I think this is just you know, look, the the

826
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:21,959
Speaker 1: woke activists out there have become very powerful and they

827
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,399
Speaker 1: but they woke is now that you've heard me saying

828
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: in a lot Just in case you're wondering, it's the

829
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,760
Speaker 1: It's the term for being socially conscious as a social

830
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,280
Speaker 1: justice warrior. Basically. I think that's a good working definition

831
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: of it. But I look, I can tell you this,

832
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to be those two officers. You got

833
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: your commissioner saying that, yeah, what they did was technically okay,

834
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 1: but it was really bad. No, that's not how this

835
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 1: is supposed to work. Uh. By the way, I mentioned

836
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: yesterday where we actually played the audio for you of

837
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,439
Speaker 1: this guy demanding free coffee. Just in case you forgot

838
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 1: play Levin, I heard you guys don't like black people,

839
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: so I wanted to get my Starbucks operations I give

840
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: to you. Yeah, I saw that on my Twitter last night.

841
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I need I need a free cloth.

842
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. This is justice. I'm like,

843
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 1: we couldn't authenticate this, and it seemed, uh, you know,

844
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: it looked like he might just be doing and it

845
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: turned out it was a stunt. It is a stunt.

846
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: So I don't want to just let this, let this lie.

847
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to actually come back to it. This guy

848
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 1: was intentionally trolling Starbucks, if you will, And he explained

849
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 1: his name is Brian Sharp. Um, here's what he had. Now,

850
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: He's upright. He was doing it for effect, right, It wasn't.

851
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 1: It's not that he thought that this was really a campaign,

852
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 1: that he was demanding reparations for coffee or anything like that.

853
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: He was just trying to show how people can use

854
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: these situations for their own benefit. But I'll let him

855
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: speak for himself. Play clip twelve. I am sick and

856
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 1: tired of liberals using black people and making us look

857
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: like victims, making us look off with their liberal dogma.

858
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: It is disgusting. The other thing I hate about the

859
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: liberals is if you're a black man, as I am

860
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 1: in America, they will not hand you a microphone unless

861
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: you follow the liberal narrative. And I said, you know what,

862
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: I bet if I go into Starbucks and I follow

863
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 1: a liberal narrative, I'll make the news. And while I

864
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:31,839
Speaker 1: here I am Indeed, he made the news and he's

865
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: here on the show. Um, that's what calls I want

866
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: to take here David and Allentown, Pennsylvania. Hey David, how's

867
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:44,359
Speaker 1: it going. It's good, Thanks for your call. I had

868
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 1: a speculation that the reason why you haven't heard anything

869
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: about the manager at the Starbucks is maybe the manager

870
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: as the of the same national origin of the two gentlemen.

871
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,879
Speaker 1: That's positive, certainly, that's what. By the way, I don't

872
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 1: expect that somebody in this situation would like come out

873
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 1: and address the press or something. But we, as far

874
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: as I understand it, we know very little. I haven't

875
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: really seen any reporting on even who the manager was

876
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: or or anything about him. I don't even know are

877
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,359
Speaker 1: we assuming? Do we know if he's male producer Mike,

878
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: I can't remember. I know the other one was female,

879
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: she's in the video. But so as you're saying, David,

880
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 1: that that would affect it because you know, because it's

881
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: people aren't racist against their own race, I'll just tell

882
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: you that they they'll say, because this comes up with

883
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: police racism. They'll say that even for example, a black

884
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: or Latino police officer who engages with minorities as an

885
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 1: officer in certain ways can be imposing unconscious bias because

886
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: they're in a position of authority and a structure that

887
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 1: is created to oppress non white minorities, right, I mean

888
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: this is I obviously do a lot of reading about

889
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: how the or I'm very familiar with how the the

890
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: left frames these these issues used. But so that wouldn't

891
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: necessarily be a game changer for the narrative. But I

892
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: do have my questions about why is that we don't

893
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: know more about this, and there's certainly more information that

894
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: could be brought to bear. I appreciate you calling in, David,

895
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for that, Um, and uh yeah,

896
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: I I this is uh. I have a feeling we're

897
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 1: not going to get complete answers here anytime soon. And

898
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 1: Starbucks is using us as a as a teachable moment

899
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 1: and it's going to be literally teaching its own employees.

900
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: I guess how to deal with these situations. I would

901
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: also note that it was fun to read some of

902
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 1: these pieces that were out there about how uh you know,

903
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:40,919
Speaker 1: and people were saying it to on social media. Well,

904
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's not really clear that you have to,

905
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: you know, because of restaurants for customers only. It's not

906
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: a real thing. Um, well, it is a real thing.

907
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: It's a real thing, and we all know it is, right.

908
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 1: So why am I reading think pieces? Not that there's

909
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: much thinking going on in them in USA today or

910
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: other places. I think I saw him in USA today.

911
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 1: I've seen a few of these articles were like, as

912
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: does Starbucks really require a purchase to sit there? And

913
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I can tell you this my you know,

914
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: unless I get some other permission. My assumption is that

915
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,919
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna be using the facilities for a public

916
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: accommodation like a restaurant or a cafe or whatever, I

917
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: always acting on the assumption that, yeah, that's right. They're

918
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: running a business, and you know, if you can't pay

919
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: for some reason, let's say I lost my wallet or

920
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: how many money on me or something, you know, maybe

921
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: i'd ask management. But if management said no, I wouldn't

922
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 1: have some big problem with it, because I understand right

923
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: they they're running a business, and yeah, I don't even

924
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: have to sit down and talk about it this way.

925
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:44,280
Speaker 1: But you know they're buying paper, towel and toilet paper,

926
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: and you know that there's there's stuff that goes into it. Right,

927
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: So the Starbucks thing is something we're gonna have to

928
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 1: keep falling because it's gonna gonna be staying around for

929
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: a bit. Uh. We've got some updates on the case

930
00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: into the musician Princes overdose from opioids, and I wanted

931
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 1: to talk to you a bit about that case. I

932
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 1: was reading up on it today. So what happened to

933
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: Prince we will discuss. He's holding the line for America,

934
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton his back. Prince the musician died of a

935
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:37,760
Speaker 1: drug overdose in today. We have the final decision of

936
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 1: the authorities not to file any criminal charges against anyone,

937
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 1: despite all the speculation and the fact that you know,

938
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: they know what the drug was that he had, and

939
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 1: everything else that was going on around it. A doctor,

940
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:57,359
Speaker 1: Michael Schulenberg, who had been treating Prince right before his death,

941
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: has agreed to a thirty thousand dollar federal civil violation

942
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 1: for an illegal prescription, but he admits no liability as

943
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: part of the settlement and will not um and he

944
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,959
Speaker 1: has said along that he never gave someone prescription drugs

945
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: with the idea that they would be rerouted to Prince.

946
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm just realizing that I actually don't know Princes. I

947
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: would call him by his legal name, but anyway, I

948
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 1: was gonna call him Prince. So here's what we found

949
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: out about the case. Though I didn't know this, and

950
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 1: it was interesting to me. Prince thought he was taking

951
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: vicating And this is going to tie into our discussions

952
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: about um opioids and the opiate epidemic. Obviously Prince thought

953
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: he was taking vicating, but they found a lot of

954
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: pills that he had that were illegal that had fentanyl.

955
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: Now fentanyl can be actually know someone who's UH had

956
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: a family member who was on Fenton Al I was

957
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: talking to about it recently because he was battling cancer.

958
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:03,800
Speaker 1: So fentanyl can be used legally, and it's in patch

959
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: form when you use it legally, but it's coming into

960
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: the US in large quantities illegally because it's a simple

961
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: process to make. Fentanyl is not hard to make. I

962
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 1: don't know how to make it, but I think it's

963
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: a either three or four step chemical process to make it.

964
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: And it is a hundred times more powerful than or

965
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: can be a hundred times more powerful than the over

966
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: the counter opioids that people have become familiar with, percocet, percocet,

967
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: vic it in, OxyContin. And what happened here with Prince

968
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: was that he thought he was taking vicating but because

969
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 1: he got the pills on the black market, what he

970
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: was taking, we're actually illegal fentanyl pills that they were

971
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: being that they were selling as vica into people. So

972
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: this is just a reminder of how dangerous it is

973
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: and one of the reasons why I understand why the

974
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 1: regulations in place on drugs that are I guess scheduled

975
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: to write Schedule one is just illegal stuff scheduled to

976
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: under the Controlled Substances Act is prescriptions that are prescription

977
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: drugs that have a use but are still very tightly

978
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: controlled their controlled substances, and they need to regulate this

979
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: stuff because it's one very dangerous It can be very

980
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: dangerous even if you're trying to not engage in the

981
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: illegal market. But the moment you step out of the

982
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 1: regulator markets, you don't know what you're getting, the moment

983
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: you're buying something that's been put in some bottle or

984
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't know how people get these

985
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: illegal pills in the black market these days. Uh, because

986
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: if you take fent atyl one time and it's the

987
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: wrong dose, you can die very easily. Um. Fentanyl's potency

988
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: is so strong that people have to show up and

989
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 1: has matt suits. E. M. S Has to come in

990
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: and has matt suits for fear of coming into skin

991
00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: contact with fentanyl at an overdose site. So the Prince

992
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: is one of the more visible, one of the more visible,

993
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: one of the most visible, I think in the last

994
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: decade or so of those who are either celebrities and

995
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: have overdosed on something that's either heroin or an opioid

996
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: or opiate and what Philip symour Hoffman as well and

997
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: ends up happening with these guys. They get into it

998
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 1: via the pills. Prince apparently had chronic pain in his

999
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: hip and he started taking the pills and they helped.

1000
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: But then you develop a tolerance for you start taking more,

1001
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: start taking more, and then you find out that it's easier.

1002
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 1: Uh two, especially if you become addicted. It's easier to

1003
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: get it illegally in many ways, and it is to

1004
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: have to go through a legitimate doctor, because the doctor

1005
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: may say, well, hold on, we gotta slow you down,

1006
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: we gotta figure this out. And if you are addicted

1007
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: to any opiate or any opioid, you you do not

1008
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: want to hear from anyone that you can't have it.

1009
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 1: The more I've read, and this is some of my

1010
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: thoughts on this come from being almost done with the book.

1011
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Dre Land actually tweeted at Sam Canonas to tell him

1012
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,760
Speaker 1: how much I'm enjoying his book. He's an l A

1013
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Times reporter, or was an l A. Times report. I

1014
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 1: don't know what he does these days. He might still

1015
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 1: be there. I just don't know. But his book Dreamland

1016
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Is is phenomenal and really all of you should read it,

1017
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 1: and those of you it's one of those books that

1018
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: I've mentioned on ERE a few times just because I

1019
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 1: think it's so important to have for us to have

1020
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: an understanding of what's going on in the country right

1021
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 1: now with the opioid epidemic. Um those who have actually

1022
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: taken me up on it and started to read it

1023
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: have been writing me to say, you know, that's a

1024
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: really it's a really good book, and it's a it's

1025
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 1: a story that we all should know how this happened,

1026
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: how we got to this point where if you are

1027
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: you know aged, uh, you know, it's what I think

1028
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: it's fifty five now or eighteen to fifty five, and

1029
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: you're you're suffering an untimely demise this country. It's not

1030
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 1: it's more likely to be opiates then from a car accident.

1031
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 1: So that's really that's just a profound statement and of itself.

1032
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 1: But there's so much danger in taking these substances and

1033
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: there they flooded into the country. They're all over the place.

1034
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of them on the on the black market,

1035
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: just from people that are reselling their prescriptions. Uh, there

1036
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 1: are a lot of people that are bringing them into country.

1037
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'm if I had more time, I'd

1038
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 1: actually try to go down to the border. Right now,

1039
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm only about thirty minute drive from Tijuana, maybe thirty

1040
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: five minute drive. And I would like to go see

1041
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 1: what's going on in the San Diego border sector. But

1042
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: I gotta get back to the east coast. But that's

1043
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: something on my list for another time. I'm really curious

1044
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: see how things are going down there, and i'd like

1045
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 1: to set up some discussions and interviews with whoever could

1046
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 1: speak to me from border patrol. I know that's gonna

1047
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: be very, uh as politically sensitive. Right now, you've got

1048
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: the governor, Governor Brown, who won't allow basically anything to

1049
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 1: be done to help border patrol by the national Guard. Right.

1050
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 1: National Guard is not to be used in any way,

1051
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 1: shape or form that take takes the load off of

1052
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: a border patrol. Which is just another way of the

1053
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 1: governor California saying he is he has pro illegal immigration.

1054
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 1: He's not trying to limit it. He's not sympathetic to

1055
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. He is pro illegal immigration full stop. That's

1056
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 1: a big change from even where the Democrat Party was

1057
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen years ago. I like how Trump is

1058
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: responding by saying that we're not gonna order that. That's

1059
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, he's not gonna pay for it now. You know,

1060
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: I like it. Trump needs to hit back on this stuff.

1061
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 1: The country needs to see what some of these elected

1062
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: officials really believe and how they're spending tax dollars. But

1063
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 1: you know, if I were in my in my earlier days,

1064
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 1: I guess I'm still you know, I'm not married, don't

1065
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 1: have kids, so maybe I could justify my head to

1066
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 1: do it. I still want to get down into the

1067
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 1: southern tip of Baha and the Baha Peninsula and just

1068
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: talk to some of the authorities, journalist whoever I could

1069
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: about what's going on now in the Cabo, the area

1070
01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 1: of the of Cabo San Lucas and and the cities

1071
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 1: around it, which is now more violent than at any

1072
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 1: time any time in history, I believe so. And the

1073
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 1: drug cartels are all tied into this. Drug cartels are

1074
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 1: making so much money now via the heroin trade, and

1075
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: it's all coming in through Mexico. Even the illegal fentonel

1076
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: that China is making in big vats come into Mexico

1077
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 1: and then are trans shipped in the United States via

1078
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 1: the same smuggling pipelines to get illegal aliens in the country,

1079
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: and then the dealers hide in the illegal immigrant population

1080
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: and the illegal alien population of major cities and in

1081
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 1: smaller cities where there's been so much illegal immigration in

1082
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 1: the last twenty or thirty years that places you wouldn't

1083
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: necessarily think of. And I know a lot of your

1084
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 1: listening like, oh buck, trust me my time. We got

1085
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 1: a lot of legal immigrants. And you know, we're a

1086
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: city of fifty or a hundred thousand and not not

1087
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: a big city. But the dealers hide among the rest

1088
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 1: of the population, and they switched them out too. It's

1089
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: a very very important part of the strategy. The dealers

1090
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: come and go, so they go back to Mexico, and

1091
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: that means that it's a lot harder to bring cases

1092
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 1: against them, and you gotta get them while they're here.

1093
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 1: And uh, and people are losing their life. Prince, philipsymor Hoffman,

1094
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 1: philipsy More Hoffman, and just last year alone, sixty four

1095
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 1: thousand other Americans who had futures that they never were

1096
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 1: able to see because of what's going on with illegal

1097
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 1: illegal drugs, primarily now uh, fentanyl top of the list,

1098
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:28,439
Speaker 1: and also heroin. So interesting that they couldn't figure out

1099
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: who gave Prince the pill was really what it came

1100
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 1: down to, who gave him this fentanyl that he thought

1101
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: was Viking, and they have information to to prove that

1102
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 1: he didn't think he was taking fentanyl. He I don't

1103
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 1: know if he would have known how dangerous that was

1104
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 1: or but they couldn't prove it. So no one's gonna

1105
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: be charged with anything even though someone gave him illegal

1106
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: drugs that were miss mislabeled. And now we you know,

1107
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 1: we lost a great a great musician. Um. Well, we

1108
01:04:56,760 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 1: lose Americans every day to this, whether someone's a musician

1109
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 1: or not. We really shouldn't, you know. You think about

1110
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:05,919
Speaker 1: this in terms of what gets attention, but each each

1111
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 1: American life that's lost this epidemic as a tragedy and

1112
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: it requires a much more robust not just government response.

1113
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 1: Right we think the government's going to solve this. We

1114
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: need to know more about this and how it happens

1115
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 1: and where it's happening, and how to combat it, and

1116
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: why we are in the midst of this as a country.

1117
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 1: And this is this is an all hands on deck situation.

1118
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: This is a a true crisis. So I I was

1119
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 1: thinking about this today as I was reading the update

1120
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: from the case UM dealing with Prince Um. And we've

1121
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: got we've got more common team. I will be discussing

1122
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:45,439
Speaker 1: the latest with North Korea, a big concession coming from

1123
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: the North Korean side of the upcoming summit between Trump

1124
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: and Kim Jong And that makes me think, Okay, this

1125
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 1: is actually moving in a direction where we could see

1126
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 1: some stuff happen and it's not just gonna be uh,

1127
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 1: you know, they show up, shake hands or high five

1128
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 1: or whatever, and then Trump and Kim Jong un go

1129
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: their separate ways. Um. And then the second hour of

1130
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: also our third hour that I've got to talk to

1131
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 1: you about the wisdom of Kanye, the life philosophy of

1132
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 1: Kanye West. He's putting it all over Twitter, some interesting

1133
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: stuff you want. I think you will want to hear that.

1134
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 1: And the Governor New York is acting like a Bozoh,

1135
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 1: that's nothing new. We'll have some fun with that, so

1136
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 1: I stay right there. I think the judge is setting

1137
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 1: up a sensible system where there will be a review

1138
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: of these documents to see whether any are covered by

1139
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 1: the attorney client privilege, and those will be excluded, and

1140
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: that's proper, But most of these documents will not be

1141
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 1: You'll recall that I made that suggestion on this show

1142
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey said it was a terrible idea. It was

1143
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 1: a terrible idea and unnecessary. It's a good idea. Well,

1144
01:06:57,560 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 1: I think I still think it's a good idea. Look,

1145
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna have judge or somebody assigned by the judge

1146
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: to look through the papers, and I hope he's right.

1147
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 1: If there's nothing that's lawyer client privilege here, let the

1148
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 1: prosecutors see it all. Let them prosecute. But if they

1149
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 1: find communications between a lawyer and a client that all legitimate,

1150
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: no FBI agents should get to see that and leak it.

1151
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 1: The dirsh laying it down versus CNN's uh shockingly inept

1152
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: in my opinion, legal analyst Jeffrey Tuban. But nonetheless, uh

1153
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: Durst was given a bit of a buck slab. Perhaps

1154
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 1: we could say it theirst slap um, But that was

1155
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 1: what was happening there. Uh. Now they might have this

1156
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 1: other person, they might have some set up where they

1157
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 1: don't allow they don't allow those who are prone to leak,

1158
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 1: for example, to get their hands on the information the

1159
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 1: first place. And that's very important here, especially when you're

1160
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 1: talking about such a high profile I mean, it doesn't

1161
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 1: get more high profile than this does it. And he

1162
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 1: might have folks that think that, okay, it's attorney client

1163
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: privilege information, but they want to even the score a

1164
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 1: little bit against Trump. We've seen We're not paranoid. They

1165
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 1: are out to get us. We've seen plenty of this

1166
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 1: against Trump. One more thing on this, Uh, I just

1167
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 1: saw the breaking news. Rudy Giuliani best known by me

1168
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 1: for being the guy who cleaned up New York City

1169
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:24,880
Speaker 1: when I was there, when I was a kid there

1170
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 1: and it was a really dangerous place for a large

1171
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 1: US city, A lot of bad stuff going on in

1172
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:34,639
Speaker 1: the early nineties in New York rough time. Juliani cleaned

1173
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:40,640
Speaker 1: it up. He has now joined the legal team that

1174
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 1: Trump has put together. So Juliani is, in fact, Uh,

1175
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: Giuliani is in fact the guy who is getting added

1176
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 1: onto the roster. Now Giuliani knows Muller, so that'll be interesting.

1177
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:55,640
Speaker 1: And the reporting at least from CNNY year is that

1178
01:08:55,680 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 1: Giuliani may ask for essentially a list of compliance material

1179
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: that they would need to bring the investigation to a

1180
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,520
Speaker 1: close and try to speed this thing up. How effective

1181
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 1: can Rudy be in this whole thing. I'm affective with

1182
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 1: Giuliani be and trying to want to help Trump and

1183
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 1: protect his flank on all this and also to speed

1184
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: things long. I don't know, you know, Rudy has been

1185
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he's been. I know he's been a

1186
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 1: security consultant, does a lot of TV stuff. I don't

1187
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 1: think he's been practicing much in the way a law

1188
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 1: at a long time. But I could I could be

1189
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:29,240
Speaker 1: wrong on that. Uh So we shall see. But yeah,

1190
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 1: Giuliani has joined the Trump defense team. Left the breaking

1191
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: breaking news. Giuliani joins Trump defense team. So there is

1192
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 1: that Patrick in Wabash, Indiana? Did I say that right? Patrick? Yeah? Whoa, Hey, Yeah,

1193
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 1: we're here, man. We can all hear you. Wabash or

1194
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 1: Wabash Wabash. I was close. I want to ask a

1195
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 1: question that's I have been asked by anybody, and I

1196
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:07,480
Speaker 1: don't know. I thought, but it's it's true, Hillary Obama

1197
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:11,519
Speaker 1: and it all call me and such. Why shouldn't they

1198
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: be prosecuted for conspiracy to overturn the United States? Because

1199
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: if that's what they can do with their lives and

1200
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 1: successfully get Trump out of office, they could do it

1201
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:27,720
Speaker 1: to anybody. Well, Patrick, I I appreciate where your heart

1202
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 1: is in this one. But if we couldn't get if

1203
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 1: we couldn't get charges against Hillary for over a hundred

1204
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,760
Speaker 1: instances of classified on her home Brew server, and all

1205
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 1: the lies and all the destruction of evidence that followed it, Um,

1206
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 1: we're not I don't think we're gonna get on a

1207
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 1: complicated overturning the government charge never mind. I'm not sure

1208
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,600
Speaker 1: that's something that could even be proven under any circumstances.

1209
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 1: But I do appreciate your calling in from Indiana. I

1210
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 1: had one more thing I wanted to get here to

1211
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:56,240
Speaker 1: the dirt because it is important. Um playlip nine. Please.

1212
01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: You never can have a crime with the intent is

1213
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 1: the whole thing. You have to have an illegal act,

1214
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:04,719
Speaker 1: and you can't have an illegal act when the president

1215
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:09,719
Speaker 1: acts within his constitutional authority. You can't have an act

1216
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 1: that is both constitutionally authorized under Article one under Article two,

1217
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 1: and at the same time is criminal. And you must

1218
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,599
Speaker 1: have an act. As Grays, you must have any illegal act,

1219
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 1: and it would undercut the power of the president to

1220
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 1: start questioning why he pardoned, why he fired. Once he

1221
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:30,719
Speaker 1: did it and it's within his authority, you can't question,

1222
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 1: just like you can't question a senator for his vote

1223
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:35,080
Speaker 1: on the Senate floor, and you can't question a judge

1224
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 1: for their vote in the Supreme Court. You know, It's

1225
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:41,000
Speaker 1: kind of like, uh, you know, in the NFL, there's

1226
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 1: some things that that cannot be reviewed. And even if

1227
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 1: you think, oh man, that guy's food was out of bound,

1228
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: you're like, well, I can't be reviewed, right, we all

1229
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 1: know the rules. This is not non There are rules

1230
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 1: we all know. And Ther's just saying here and he's

1231
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 1: going up against Tube and there as well that you

1232
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 1: can't There is not any scenario where the president's decision

1233
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:05,639
Speaker 1: to fire, because the president can fire for any reason.

1234
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:09,719
Speaker 1: So if the president can fire, call me for any reason,

1235
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 1: how can the president's firing of Comey be a prosecutable act?

1236
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 1: The answers that can't be. So what the heck are

1237
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 1: they even talking about? The answer that is, they don't

1238
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, the Democrats don't even know. They just want

1239
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 1: to take Trump down. Uh, We've got some interesting news

1240
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:26,160
Speaker 1: on North Korea that makes me think that this may

1241
01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 1: actually get further down, further down field. To borrow from

1242
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 1: our NFL analogy, here, further downfield and people would have anticipated.

1243
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 1: So I've got some stories for you on that, plus

1244
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:40,680
Speaker 1: the wisdom of Kanye and the stupidity of Cuomo. That's

1245
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 1: coming up. You're gonna wanna stay around for it. He's

1246
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:55,680
Speaker 1: back with you now, because when it comes to the

1247
01:12:55,760 --> 01:13:03,639
Speaker 1: fight for truth, the fuck never stops. M You are

1248
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: now entering the Freedom Technical Operations Center. All programs must

1249
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 1: be kept strictly. Need to know Team Bucket is cleared

1250
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,679
Speaker 1: and ready for the buck Brief. We hope to see

1251
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 1: the day when the whole Korean peninsula can live together

1252
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 1: in safety, prosperity, and peace. This is the destiny of

1253
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 1: the Korean people who deserve and have gone through so

1254
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 1: much over the years. We hope it all works out.

1255
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:38,320
Speaker 1: We'll be trying very hard. I want to thank the

1256
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:42,839
Speaker 1: Prime Minister for his inside and support over the past

1257
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:45,640
Speaker 1: year as we have pursued the dream of a peaceful,

1258
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 1: nuclear free Korea. Shinzo, you have worked very hard along

1259
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,639
Speaker 1: with us and all of our people, and we thank

1260
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 1: you very much, and we're with you, and you're a

1261
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:01,639
Speaker 1: lot closer than we are, but we're working on this together.

1262
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 1: We are weeks away from what is anticipated to be

1263
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 1: one of the biggest foreign policy and diplomacy gambles of

1264
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:15,920
Speaker 1: the last twenty years um, and that's just I'm just

1265
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 1: taking a wild guest there. I mean, you could take

1266
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 1: this back probably the Berlin Wall. In terms of the

1267
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:29,120
Speaker 1: geopolitical ramifications. North Korea is the single most authoritarian, most

1268
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 1: totalitarian state on the planet. It is the most disturbing

1269
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 1: rogue state when it comes to its weapons programs, the

1270
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 1: most isolated from the international community, and the most militaristic

1271
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 1: even more so than Iran or others in its rhetoric.

1272
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 1: And the President of the United States right now, despite

1273
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:52,720
Speaker 1: all of the naysayers and the people that have aligned

1274
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 1: against whatever foreign policy movie makes, has decided that he

1275
01:14:57,080 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 1: is going to approach this with fresh eye days and

1276
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:04,600
Speaker 1: engage in what could honestly be And I'm not trying to,

1277
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 1: you know, take a line from what you might have

1278
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:09,120
Speaker 1: heard on The Apprentice here, but this would be the

1279
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:13,400
Speaker 1: most high stakes negotiation of Donald Trump's life. I think

1280
01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:16,160
Speaker 1: that that's pretty clear. If he sits down with Kim

1281
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 1: Jong on face to face and they have a discussion

1282
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 1: about the future of that country. Doesn't get any bigger

1283
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 1: than that, because the possibility if this fails, and we

1284
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 1: need to put this into the proper context so we

1285
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:32,280
Speaker 1: understand why these discussions have so much writing on them.

1286
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:36,800
Speaker 1: If this fails, the prospect of a war with North

1287
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 1: Korea at some point in the not distant future UH

1288
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 1: gets larger with each passing day, becomes much more serious

1289
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:50,200
Speaker 1: and much more likely. So the President United States has

1290
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 1: decided to embark on this path, and it would be

1291
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:56,120
Speaker 1: an amazing thing, wouldn't it. After I mean, we could

1292
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:57,840
Speaker 1: go back on Google and we could look at the

1293
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 1: tweets and see journalists who were saying Trump's Twitter accounts

1294
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:04,680
Speaker 1: gonna start a nuclear war with North Korea, you know,

1295
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 1: calling him a little rocketman. Remember that one, a little

1296
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:12,800
Speaker 1: rocket man that's going to get aust into hot water

1297
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 1: with North Korea, And there's going to be huge ramifications

1298
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: from it. What if Trump is the one that manages

1299
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 1: to put the Korean Peninsula on a path to stability

1300
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:27,880
Speaker 1: where you don't have the North constantly threatening not just

1301
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:31,599
Speaker 1: retaliation against the US for any active aggression that it sees,

1302
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:35,639
Speaker 1: but UH trying to enforce its will upon South Korea

1303
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:39,040
Speaker 1: at the point of a sword. It would be a

1304
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 1: game changer. And we have more information now about just

1305
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 1: what we can expect from UH these talks. But first

1306
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:48,639
Speaker 1: I want to I want to note that this is

1307
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:51,719
Speaker 1: not just the result of a gamble that Trump took

1308
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 1: by setting up these direct talks. It's also a policy

1309
01:16:57,200 --> 01:16:59,720
Speaker 1: response that he's had in place. You have tougher sanctions

1310
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: now on North Korea that at any point previously, more

1311
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 1: sanctions that target those who try to help them evade sanctions,

1312
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:12,600
Speaker 1: and going after vessels that are used to do transhipment

1313
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 1: of North Korean goods. And this is all very smart policy,

1314
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 1: and it is also bearing it is also bearing out

1315
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: its effects here. And remember this is what the president

1316
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:25,720
Speaker 1: that we're told doesn't know anything. He's an agramus on

1317
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 1: foreign policy. Meanwhile, his sanctions regime against North Korea is

1318
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:32,840
Speaker 1: better than anything that we have seen previously. And you'd

1319
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:35,240
Speaker 1: probably like to think why is that. Well, maybe the

1320
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 1: Obama administration, for example, didn't want things to get two

1321
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:41,680
Speaker 1: tends with North Korea because they didn't ever want to

1322
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 1: have to actually use the stick, just the carrot, right,

1323
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:46,960
Speaker 1: they didn't want to have to come down on North

1324
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 1: Korea if there was some kind of a reciprocal action

1325
01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 1: taken by Kim Jong un meant to you know, rattle us,

1326
01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, we put sanctions on him. He decides to

1327
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:00,759
Speaker 1: come back at us with some things. So the sanctions

1328
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:04,559
Speaker 1: are critical. Play clip two. We have come a long

1329
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:08,760
Speaker 1: way with North Korea. We were, as you know, and

1330
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 1: when I say we, for many years, they've been talking

1331
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:14,559
Speaker 1: to North Korea and nothing's happened. They should have been

1332
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 1: taken care of by past administrations when they were not

1333
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 1: nearly so far along. But we put unbelievably powerful sanctions

1334
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 1: on and many other things. He's right about the previous administrations,

1335
01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 1: and that includes Republican administrations, bipartisan failure in the issue

1336
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:35,679
Speaker 1: of North Korea. You know what the safe move was

1337
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 1: was a North Korea keep keep more or less the

1338
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 1: policy or predecessor, whether it was Obama with Bush or

1339
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:45,320
Speaker 1: Bush with Clinton, or keep whatever was there before, and

1340
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 1: don't rock the boat too much, stay within with the

1341
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:52,759
Speaker 1: foreign policy the so called foreign policy smart set says

1342
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:55,639
Speaker 1: you should do. You know, don't do anything that puts

1343
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:58,600
Speaker 1: you in a position where you could be held accountable

1344
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 1: for a man ager disruption of the status quo and

1345
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 1: the fallout from it. And start talking to fall out.

1346
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 1: You can think nuclear fallout too. Um Trump is like

1347
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 1: enough is enough, No more kicking the can down the

1348
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 1: road on North Korea. Let's let's take this head on.

1349
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:18,280
Speaker 1: You know, you've had Comy sank to Comy out there

1350
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 1: on his media tour and he's talking about political courage.

1351
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 1: You know what political courage is. It's when you don't

1352
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 1: have to tackle something as an elected official. You can

1353
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:30,519
Speaker 1: leave it for the next guy and protect your poll numbers,

1354
01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 1: but you would rather protect an ally global stability and

1355
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 1: thirty thousand plus American troops in South Korea and whoever

1356
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 1: else we'd have to get involved with. Things really hit

1357
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 1: the fan in dealing with Pyeong yang. That's what political

1358
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:50,680
Speaker 1: courage actually is. It's not writing a book when you're

1359
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:51,880
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of money for it and a

1360
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 1: lot of press and attention, and you're going to be

1361
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 1: messing up a current administration for your own personal gain.

1362
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:02,759
Speaker 1: That's not courage. Saying despite all the so called foreign

1363
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:08,960
Speaker 1: policy conventional wisdom which has been arrayed against Trump in

1364
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 1: on almost every issue where he's decided to go his

1365
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 1: own way, right, it's not like he can say, well,

1366
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 1: some agreed with the some don't. Whenever Trump steps away

1367
01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:21,080
Speaker 1: from the consensus opinion, whether it's on trade, is the

1368
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 1: is the big one and now we're seeing in North

1369
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:26,840
Speaker 1: Korea as well. There's a bipartisan backlash against him, but

1370
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:30,160
Speaker 1: he believes that it's necessary and he's gonna lead. You know,

1371
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:35,439
Speaker 1: Leadership implies being out front, being first in the line,

1372
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:42,559
Speaker 1: and for Trump that means sitting across from Kim Jong

1373
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,000
Speaker 1: un and perhaps striking a deal. I mentioned there was

1374
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:46,719
Speaker 1: a news update on it, and and I wanted to actually

1375
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:49,800
Speaker 1: give you what that was. North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un,

1376
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:52,840
Speaker 1: according to the New York Times and other well, I

1377
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:55,439
Speaker 1: was gonna say reputable sites, but however reputable you think

1378
01:20:55,479 --> 01:21:00,080
Speaker 1: they are, has decided that there will no longer be

1379
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 1: the upfront demand the prerequisite of a removal of all

1380
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:09,479
Speaker 1: U S troops from the Korean peninsula from I mean

1381
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:11,439
Speaker 1: from South Korea. Right, we don't have troops in North Korea,

1382
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:15,120
Speaker 1: so from South Korea. So Kim Jong un is now

1383
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 1: officially and this has com do us through UH intermediaries

1384
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 1: in the well, through the press, I believe I said that. Yeah,

1385
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 1: South Korea's President Moon j In has told us this

1386
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 1: that there is not the precondition of all U S

1387
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:33,880
Speaker 1: troops have to leave South Korea, which had been the case.

1388
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:38,760
Speaker 1: And this so this is a change. This shows a

1389
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:43,640
Speaker 1: serious willingness to negotiate. Right. That was a nonstarter. That

1390
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:46,200
Speaker 1: was a deal breaker. There was the possibility, and I

1391
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 1: had thought that it might come into play here. I

1392
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,840
Speaker 1: couldn't rule it out that Kim Jong un was going

1393
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 1: to say, hold on a second, before we really get

1394
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,599
Speaker 1: to anything, we need you to agree to take all

1395
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:00,760
Speaker 1: U S troops off the Korean penins because then it

1396
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:04,559
Speaker 1: becomes this game of well, how do we verify whether

1397
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 1: they really whether they're cheating on their nuclear regime or not,

1398
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, whether they've actually gotten rid of everything they've

1399
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:11,479
Speaker 1: said they've gotten rid of. And if we don't have

1400
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 1: troops in the Korean peninsula, we have way less leverage,

1401
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:17,639
Speaker 1: especially if things got really ugly, really fast between North

1402
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:21,840
Speaker 1: and South Korea. So that was a nonstarter. That's not

1403
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:23,960
Speaker 1: on the that's not a problem anymore. That's off the table.

1404
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:27,120
Speaker 1: So this is another positive sign. I'm not trying to

1405
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:28,680
Speaker 1: get ahead of things. I know this is gonna be

1406
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 1: very tough, but it is the biggest negotiation of this

1407
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:36,920
Speaker 1: president's life, no question about it, and the benefits could

1408
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:39,800
Speaker 1: be huge. It could really affect our relationship with China

1409
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 1: in positive ways, which could affect our economy in positive ways,

1410
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:44,040
Speaker 1: or that you've got to think of the second order

1411
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:46,720
Speaker 1: effects that could come from this, And I think in

1412
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 1: this instance you'll see it's very very important. Um, the

1413
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 1: Governor New York is trying to show everyone he's woke,

1414
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:56,639
Speaker 1: and we are going to discuss in just a few

1415
01:22:56,640 --> 01:23:01,599
Speaker 1: minutes here how unwoke he is. He's very very into

1416
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:06,080
Speaker 1: big a social jot. You'll see. You'll see just a

1417
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 1: few stay with me, whether you're drinking it's straight up

1418
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:14,480
Speaker 1: on the rocks or mixing it into your favorite margarita.

1419
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 1: G four tequila is simply the best you can get

1420
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:20,720
Speaker 1: out there on the market right now. G four is

1421
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 1: the pinnacle of master distiller for Leape Camarina's passion for

1422
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 1: crafting truly great tequila. What I think you're gonna remember

1423
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:30,800
Speaker 1: about G four is that it's it has this incredible

1424
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 1: process where it uses fifty harvested rainwater and fifty fifty

1425
01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:38,840
Speaker 1: spring water. The rainwater is harvested from the advanced rain

1426
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:41,800
Speaker 1: collection system that was built into the roof at L.

1427
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 1: Pandio Distillery, and the spring water comes from a spring

1428
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 1: right on the ranch. This brings a distinctive, clear crisp

1429
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 1: smell and flavor to G four, it sets it apart

1430
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:53,800
Speaker 1: from all the rest. Try for yourself and see I

1431
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:55,960

01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:28,040
Speaker 1: Craft your own luxury. You want to talk about undocumented

1436
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 1: and the way they torture the docta children. I'm an

1437
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 1: Italian American. I came from poor Italian Americans who came here.

1438
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:40,360
Speaker 1: You know what they called Italian Americans back in the day,

1439
01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:43,840
Speaker 1: They called them wops. You know what whops stood for

1440
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 1: without papers. I'm undocumented. You want to deport an undocumented person,

1441
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:57,320
Speaker 1: start with me, because I'm an undocumented person. The governor

1442
01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 1: of New York is apparently a more on. He gives

1443
01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:05,719
Speaker 1: speeches that he thinks sound good until the words leave

1444
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:10,000
Speaker 1: his mouth and then he realizes he is a buffoon

1445
01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:15,559
Speaker 1: of the highest order. That's Cuomo, the governor of one

1446
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:18,040
Speaker 1: of our biggest and most important states, at least by

1447
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:20,720
Speaker 1: population and wealth. I'm not I'm not trying to hate

1448
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:24,040
Speaker 1: on your Rhode Island, but not exactly carrying the same

1449
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:28,080
Speaker 1: weight as New York. And this is now, this is

1450
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:30,720
Speaker 1: now a thing that we're all undocumented. You're going to

1451
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:32,840
Speaker 1: see more and more of this, right because it used

1452
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 1: to be we're all immigrants, and then we realized that's

1453
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:38,840
Speaker 1: not really true. It's not really an accurate state. Now

1454
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:42,519
Speaker 1: you're seeing, Oh, people like the governor of New York

1455
01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: are saying that he's undocumented and deport him. I know

1456
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:50,720
Speaker 1: that he's trying to make a point here, but it's

1457
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:53,400
Speaker 1: a point that's so or rather, he's doing it in

1458
01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:56,720
Speaker 1: so stupid a fashion that I think we gave him

1459
01:25:56,720 --> 01:25:58,840
Speaker 1: far too much credit to think that there's even a

1460
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:03,320
Speaker 1: point to be made. Nobody needs a hundred rounds to

1461
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 1: kill a dear Remember that was him after he decided

1462
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:10,880
Speaker 1: to push for gun control legislation in New York State,

1463
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:13,720
Speaker 1: and he was talking about hunting all the time, And

1464
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:16,160
Speaker 1: anyone who knows anything about the Second Amendment knows that

1465
01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:20,040
Speaker 1: hunting has literally nothing to do with it. Would it

1466
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:24,120
Speaker 1: be unconstitutional to tell people they were only allowed to

1467
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:28,599
Speaker 1: use a bow and arrow, or or perhaps a Roman

1468
01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:33,240
Speaker 1: Empire style peelum, which is like a weaited javelin spear.

1469
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:35,400
Speaker 1: I just wanted to throw that in there because you know,

1470
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 1: fun fact of the day. Um. Yeah, actually you could

1471
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:42,799
Speaker 1: require people the only hunt with whatever implements you want. Technically,

1472
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:44,760
Speaker 1: at at a state level, it probably passed a federal

1473
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:47,519
Speaker 1: lass as part of commerce. But but guns are not

1474
01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 1: about hunting. But he doesn't care because he wants still

1475
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 1: bad fire arms. And if you'll notice, every time the

1476
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:02,360
Speaker 1: Governor of New York give the speech, it's up in

1477
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:06,800
Speaker 1: the same register. It's like he doesn't think that the

1478
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:10,880
Speaker 1: words will come out until they do, and then the

1479
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 1: words are out of his mouth that he said from

1480
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:20,080
Speaker 1: or else stop. So so he says he's undocumented. That's

1481
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 1: clearly not true. He's the governor of New York State. Um.

1482
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:28,120
Speaker 1: And then he also took this even further with the

1483
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 1: I am you know this is uh. You see this

1484
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:35,240
Speaker 1: hashtag sometimes if you know, I am whatever um and

1485
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 1: and Cuomo is trying to get in on some of that.

1486
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:39,799
Speaker 1: He's trying to be he's trying to be woke Cuomo.

1487
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:42,720
Speaker 1: He's trying to be woke Cuomo here. And this is

1488
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 1: what he says about all the different identities that he

1489
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:53,000
Speaker 1: identifies with twenty two. As a New Yorker, I am

1490
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:57,200
Speaker 1: a Muslim as a New Yorker, I am Jewish as

1491
01:27:57,200 --> 01:28:01,760
Speaker 1: a New Yorker, I am black, I am I am disabled.

1492
01:28:02,200 --> 01:28:05,479
Speaker 1: I am a woman seeking to control her health and

1493
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:10,000
Speaker 1: her choices because as a New Yorker, we are one community.

1494
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 1: I have a question for you. First of all, do

1495
01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:21,360
Speaker 1: you own a mirror? Second of all, why are you

1496
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 1: saying something so dull? Uh? Notice how he's not a

1497
01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:28,840
Speaker 1: he's not just a woman in this. I understand he's

1498
01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:32,640
Speaker 1: taking some uh some poetic license here with us, But

1499
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:35,280
Speaker 1: notice how he's only a woman who's pro choice. That's

1500
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 1: what he's saying. He and he didn't say pro choice

1501
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:41,000
Speaker 1: because it's preferential for people who are pro choice to

1502
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:44,640
Speaker 1: believe it. They're really all about health, that it's a

1503
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:47,599
Speaker 1: health choice. You know, some people like to have oh

1504
01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 1: brand the morning. Other people like to make the terrible

1505
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:55,640
Speaker 1: choice of terminating a pregnancy. It's just about health. No,

1506
01:28:55,840 --> 01:29:00,080
Speaker 1: it's not. No, it's not. But that's the formulation and

1507
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:03,840
Speaker 1: that he uses. Um, that's the formulation that he uses

1508
01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:09,080
Speaker 1: because he is a uh really a grotesque panderer. And

1509
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:12,760
Speaker 1: don't ever forget that he's the same governor who there

1510
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:16,599
Speaker 1: was something called the Moreland Commission. And remember, Democrats played

1511
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:20,080
Speaker 1: dirty and Republicans are boy scouts who sometimes don't understand

1512
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:22,080
Speaker 1: the street fight that they're in and therefore they lose.

1513
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:23,960
Speaker 1: As a recurring theme, I've been hitting that with you

1514
01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:30,599
Speaker 1: here on the show. But Cuomo set up the Moreland Commission,

1515
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:33,400
Speaker 1: or the Moreland Commission got started and it was getting

1516
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:35,320
Speaker 1: a little too close for comfort. So guess what he

1517
01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:40,960
Speaker 1: did with his corruption Commission. He shot it down because

1518
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:46,320
Speaker 1: they were looking for corruption and c stands for Cuomo

1519
01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:50,800
Speaker 1: as well as corruption. So he's a guy that I

1520
01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:52,519
Speaker 1: think you've looked at him more, you'd find out, Oh yeah,

1521
01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:56,240
Speaker 1: he's dirty. He's a bad guy too. I've heard from

1522
01:29:56,280 --> 01:29:58,760
Speaker 1: people in New York politics that not not a nice

1523
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:02,040
Speaker 1: fellow at all. But oh we one more quote from

1524
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:04,040
Speaker 1: him before I move on from this. It is just

1525
01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:07,559
Speaker 1: this is what you're seeing, folks. Big states, very democrats states.

1526
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:10,320
Speaker 1: Now it's not enough to even be a Democrat. You

1527
01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:12,920
Speaker 1: have to be wearing your wokeness on your sleeve. Plate.

1528
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:18,360
Speaker 1: As New Yorkers, we are especially aware of issues of diversity.

1529
01:30:18,640 --> 01:30:21,879
Speaker 1: We're aware of issues of intolerance because we are eighteen

1530
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:25,599
Speaker 1: million people from countries all across the globe. We are

1531
01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:30,920
Speaker 1: probably the most diverse state on the globe. Uh And

1532
01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:34,479
Speaker 1: it is the essence of who we are. And we

1533
01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:40,360
Speaker 1: have no tolerance for intolerance, period. And now it's going

1534
01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:43,120
Speaker 1: to stand up and set This gets much more interesting

1535
01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:47,160
Speaker 1: when you look at what he means by intolerance though.

1536
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:52,799
Speaker 1: Is is it intolerant, if a for for a Christian

1537
01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:57,040
Speaker 1: to have traditional beliefs about marriage? Oh? Yeah, that's intolerance.

1538
01:30:58,160 --> 01:31:03,640
Speaker 1: Is it intolerant for someone to think that abortion is

1539
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:08,760
Speaker 1: evil and should be illegal? Oh that's intolerance. So what

1540
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 1: they mean by intolerance is actually just anything that opposes

1541
01:31:12,360 --> 01:31:15,639
Speaker 1: the political orthodoxy of the left. They'll find a way

1542
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:20,040
Speaker 1: to shoehorn that into the intolerance category because they're they're

1543
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:22,720
Speaker 1: in a constant propaganda war. They're really not in a

1544
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:26,639
Speaker 1: war for ideas as such. It's not about competing goods

1545
01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:30,400
Speaker 1: and principles, and we're squaring off against them battlefield of ideas. Now,

1546
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:37,639
Speaker 1: this is the Left presenting itself as the moral choice.

1547
01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:39,760
Speaker 1: It's already been decided. They're the good guys. If you're

1548
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:41,600
Speaker 1: not with them, you're the bad guy. And they're just

1549
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:47,120
Speaker 1: gonna keep yelling about it. They are not looking for converts.

1550
01:31:47,160 --> 01:31:49,920
Speaker 1: They are hunting heretics. And that is what you see

1551
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:52,639
Speaker 1: from the governor of New York State. Uh and everything

1552
01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:54,479
Speaker 1: that he does. But I just I couldn't help. But

1553
01:31:55,000 --> 01:32:00,120
Speaker 1: I am an unbocumented person. I also do not and

1554
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:04,160
Speaker 1: to say things that are very smart. My speech writer

1555
01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:09,879
Speaker 1: does sometimes right gobbledegook on the page because I will

1556
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:16,160
Speaker 1: there is place, go up, dog cat move, Hey, not funny,

1557
01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm the governor. Wait a quick break, team back with

1558
01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:25,320
Speaker 1: uh some thoughts from the one and only philosopher of

1559
01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:28,120
Speaker 1: our age? Who is it? Who is it? You'll have

1560
01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:46,760
Speaker 1: to stay and I'll let you know. I looked for

1561
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:51,200
Speaker 1: wisdom wherever I can find it. I like to spend

1562
01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:54,160
Speaker 1: as much of my time as I can acquiring more

1563
01:32:54,240 --> 01:32:58,559
Speaker 1: knowledge but inside about life and being able to leverage

1564
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:01,800
Speaker 1: the life philosophy of others is something that I think

1565
01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:04,880
Speaker 1: we should all seek to seek to gain right. We

1566
01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:09,400
Speaker 1: should look for those who have insights on on just

1567
01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:11,439
Speaker 1: the day to day. I'm not talking about the deep

1568
01:33:11,439 --> 01:33:13,800
Speaker 1: philosophy like the meaning of life or religion. I just

1569
01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:16,719
Speaker 1: mean how you approach your job, how you approach waking

1570
01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:19,240
Speaker 1: up in the morning. And I just thought it was

1571
01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:23,080
Speaker 1: kind of funny because I spend time looking for these

1572
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:27,200
Speaker 1: things online, looking for people that have real insights, and

1573
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:31,479
Speaker 1: sure enough, there's an unexpected source of what I guess

1574
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:36,519
Speaker 1: you could call daily philosophy out there, Mr Kanye West.

1575
01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 1: I've been reading some of Kanye recently because his Twitter account,

1576
01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:46,639
Speaker 1: which has a mere sixteen million followers, so a lot

1577
01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:49,920
Speaker 1: of folks get to see what Kanye is thinking. Uh,

1578
01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:52,479
Speaker 1: they can see what the what the Kanye is cooking

1579
01:33:52,520 --> 01:33:54,720
Speaker 1: if you will. I guess the Rock is going to

1580
01:33:54,800 --> 01:33:58,679
Speaker 1: be upset about this, but he said some interesting stuff

1581
01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:01,360
Speaker 1: on Twitter really kind of got my attention. But he

1582
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:04,080
Speaker 1: also says really weird stuff, and so it's kind of

1583
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:08,200
Speaker 1: fun because you can separate out the wisdom of Kanye

1584
01:34:08,320 --> 01:34:11,360
Speaker 1: from the weirdness of Kanye. And that's kind of what

1585
01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:14,760
Speaker 1: they spent a few minutes on this before we get

1586
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:17,080
Speaker 1: into a roll call, which will obviously be just all wisdom,

1587
01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:20,559
Speaker 1: no weirdness, because it's coming from all of you. Like

1588
01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:23,120
Speaker 1: Kanye wrote, and this is just in the last couple

1589
01:34:23,120 --> 01:34:26,280
Speaker 1: of days, things like today will be the greatest day

1590
01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:30,560
Speaker 1: so far. Life keeps getting better and better. Now, you

1591
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:33,559
Speaker 1: you could dismiss that as tried to be sure, But

1592
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:36,519
Speaker 1: you know, isn't it better wake up and think that

1593
01:34:37,120 --> 01:34:40,000
Speaker 1: maybe if it's not even true, it's a worthwhile way

1594
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:43,599
Speaker 1: to approach your day, I would think. He also writes,

1595
01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:47,839
Speaker 1: if you want to see the true character of a person,

1596
01:34:48,320 --> 01:34:50,960
Speaker 1: watch the way they treat someone who can't do anything

1597
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:53,759
Speaker 1: for them. Now, this is quite true. This got retweeted

1598
01:34:53,760 --> 01:34:56,719
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty one thousand times. I would note,

1599
01:34:56,800 --> 01:35:00,799
Speaker 1: but uh, this is also well known and it is obvious.

1600
01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:04,240
Speaker 1: And I will tell you that whenever I have seen

1601
01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:07,080
Speaker 1: someone who has acted badly towards someone that I knew

1602
01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:10,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to stand up for themselves or retaliate

1603
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:15,040
Speaker 1: in any way, I'm never able to. I've never able

1604
01:35:15,080 --> 01:35:19,479
Speaker 1: to let that go entirely about that person's character. You

1605
01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:22,479
Speaker 1: know that that, to me is very very telling. And

1606
01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:24,639
Speaker 1: people say this like, oh, pay attention to how someone

1607
01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:28,559
Speaker 1: treats those who serve them or weight on them, and uh,

1608
01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:32,000
Speaker 1: and those who work for them. I'm very proud of

1609
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:34,439
Speaker 1: the fact, although may be proud is too strong a word,

1610
01:35:34,439 --> 01:35:36,320
Speaker 1: because it's also just what I would expect for myself.

1611
01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:39,160
Speaker 1: But I've never of all the people that I have, uh,

1612
01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:42,400
Speaker 1: that I've had work for me in some capacity in

1613
01:35:42,400 --> 01:35:45,120
Speaker 1: my ears and media. I've never mistreated any of them.

1614
01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:50,360
Speaker 1: So that's something that I take pride in. How about that? Um?

1615
01:35:50,479 --> 01:35:52,920
Speaker 1: Other things that Kanye. They're going back to the philosophy

1616
01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:56,880
Speaker 1: of Kanye West, he wrote, be Les, this is just

1617
01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:58,839
Speaker 1: the last couple of days he's been like an online

1618
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:01,840
Speaker 1: philosophy tear. I'm just trying to share it with you.

1619
01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:04,800
Speaker 1: You know, Kanye is a Some of you will say

1620
01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:07,360
Speaker 1: he's a megalomaniac and overrated and all that, and whether

1621
01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:10,880
Speaker 1: or not that's true, He's an interesting fellow. He's an

1622
01:36:10,880 --> 01:36:15,080
Speaker 1: interesting fellow. Um, he wrote, Let's be less concerned with

1623
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:18,439
Speaker 1: ownership of ideas. It is important that ideas see the

1624
01:36:18,520 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 1: light of day, even if you don't get the credit

1625
01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:22,800
Speaker 1: for them. Let's be let's let's be less concerned with

1626
01:36:22,840 --> 01:36:28,280
Speaker 1: credit awards and external validation. Um. This little zen, little

1627
01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:31,000
Speaker 1: zen for Kanye. I think here is somebody who makes

1628
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:34,400
Speaker 1: a living in the creative space and who relies on

1629
01:36:34,479 --> 01:36:39,480
Speaker 1: intellectual property law to allow him to be so wealthy.

1630
01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:42,839
Speaker 1: I'm not sure this idea of just put your ideas

1631
01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:44,920
Speaker 1: out there and let anyone have them, just put them

1632
01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:48,320
Speaker 1: out in the universe. Man I don't think that's good advice.

1633
01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:52,479
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say, uh, where, there's some other ones

1634
01:36:52,560 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 1: here that were really oh here, Oh wait, where did

1635
01:36:55,439 --> 01:36:57,320
Speaker 1: it go? Where did my Where did Kanye go? It

1636
01:36:57,400 --> 01:36:59,960
Speaker 1: disappeared for a second off my screen. But I've got more.

1637
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm up here. Uh. It's not where you take things from,

1638
01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:06,120
Speaker 1: it's where you take them to. Okay, that's a fortune cookie.

1639
01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:08,040
Speaker 1: That that's a fortune cookie. We don't have to spend

1640
01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:11,280
Speaker 1: much time on that one. Uh. And then there's one

1641
01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:14,240
Speaker 1: in particular that in life. Oh, here we go. In life,

1642
01:37:14,240 --> 01:37:17,880
Speaker 1: we are all trained actors. When we're born, we're ourselves.

1643
01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:19,920
Speaker 1: And then one of the first things were thought is

1644
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:22,400
Speaker 1: how to act if you see a kid screaming at

1645
01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:25,080
Speaker 1: a restaurant because he feels something and can't express himself

1646
01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:29,840
Speaker 1: in a conventional manner, where the kids just a just

1647
01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:34,479
Speaker 1: a baby. Um. Then Kanye writes, I can't argue this one.

1648
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:40,040
Speaker 1: Stop lying about stuff, just stop lying. And oh here's

1649
01:37:40,080 --> 01:37:44,120
Speaker 1: here's a particularly uh interesting one. You will be a

1650
01:37:44,200 --> 01:37:46,800
Speaker 1: drop of water with the ocean as your army. If

1651
01:37:46,840 --> 01:37:49,160
Speaker 1: you move out of fear, then you move on your own.

1652
01:37:49,560 --> 01:37:51,799
Speaker 1: Then it's just you and the money and the countless

1653
01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:54,120
Speaker 1: people you have lied to and manipulate to build a

1654
01:37:54,160 --> 01:37:56,560
Speaker 1: man made path that will never leave the true happiness.

1655
01:37:58,040 --> 01:38:00,280
Speaker 1: Uh what does that mean? I don't really know, but

1656
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:03,320
Speaker 1: I just me. I just know that Kanye is something

1657
01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:06,960
Speaker 1: of a Twitter philosopher now. And uh, I've been enjoying

1658
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:11,000
Speaker 1: some of the insights and the really really random stuff

1659
01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:14,680
Speaker 1: courtesy of Mr Kanye West. Like I said, I look

1660
01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:18,160
Speaker 1: for insight everywhere, folks, and with that your insights coming

1661
01:38:18,240 --> 01:38:36,240
Speaker 1: up in Roll Call. It's been quite a week out

1662
01:38:36,280 --> 01:38:39,760
Speaker 1: here on the West Coast, the Left Coast, my first

1663
01:38:39,800 --> 01:38:42,439
Speaker 1: time ever in San Diego, hoping that I can at

1664
01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:44,680
Speaker 1: least go take a quick peek at the beach in

1665
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:48,400
Speaker 1: La Joya, which sounds like a lovely place before I

1666
01:38:48,479 --> 01:38:51,080
Speaker 1: have to head back on an airplane and get back

1667
01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:55,280
Speaker 1: into the fight in New York City. Man, traveling is tiring.

1668
01:38:55,360 --> 01:38:58,080
Speaker 1: I gotta say, you know, the whole traveling salesman thing.

1669
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:02,679
Speaker 1: Those guys were gals earn their money though it's a lot,

1670
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:06,640
Speaker 1: and airline travels also just it's just a bummer. It

1671
01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:09,000
Speaker 1: just is. You know. Maybe one day, well I'll have

1672
01:39:09,040 --> 01:39:11,720
Speaker 1: buck Force one and I'd like to think it's like

1673
01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:14,080
Speaker 1: a g seven or something, but it will probably be

1674
01:39:14,160 --> 01:39:17,680
Speaker 1: a a prop plane. Um, then I'll have to learn

1675
01:39:17,720 --> 01:39:21,120
Speaker 1: to fly it myself. But Buck Force one is a

1676
01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:23,479
Speaker 1: goal of the future. It'd probably be more likely a

1677
01:39:24,080 --> 01:39:26,800
Speaker 1: hang glider even you know, not even motorized. But I

1678
01:39:26,840 --> 01:39:30,880
Speaker 1: need some set of of wheels for the sky, if

1679
01:39:30,880 --> 01:39:35,439
Speaker 1: you will. And now with that completely nonsensical interlude, let's

1680
01:39:35,479 --> 01:39:39,439
Speaker 1: get into your much more sensible commentary, your thoughts, your questions,

1681
01:39:39,760 --> 01:39:50,360
Speaker 1: analysis of all things. It's time for some roll call. Hey,

1682
01:39:50,680 --> 01:39:55,120
Speaker 1: Team Buck, it's time for roll call. See some of

1683
01:39:55,120 --> 01:39:57,400
Speaker 1: you love the dub step, so I gotta put the

1684
01:39:57,479 --> 01:39:59,840
Speaker 1: dub step in. If some of you are such big fan,

1685
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:03,400
Speaker 1: I know others of you are not. Scrill X was

1686
01:40:03,479 --> 01:40:05,880
Speaker 1: the most famous dub step DJ that I knew of

1687
01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:08,880
Speaker 1: at least, and he I don't see as much of

1688
01:40:08,960 --> 01:40:11,080
Speaker 1: him anymore. All right, now let's get into it. If

1689
01:40:11,080 --> 01:40:12,439

Speaker 1: that I cook, not food that someone else cooks for me, right,

1707

Speaker 1: have the the appropriate amount of coated seasoning around it,

1710
01:41:23,080 --> 01:41:26,200
Speaker 1: ample salt and pepper, if I really get that caramelization

1711
01:41:26,280 --> 01:41:28,080
Speaker 1: of the meat on the yeah, then I'll share that

1712
01:41:28,120 --> 01:41:30,360
Speaker 1: on Instagram. But I'm not gonna sit there and be like, oh,

1770
01:44:27,360 --> 01:44:31,439
Speaker 1: we will go to Sarah here. Roll call is always fun,

1771
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:34,719
Speaker 1: but even more so when I hear my own stuff. Sarah,

1772
01:44:34,720 --> 01:44:37,240
Speaker 1: She's in the roll call feed now. Fun to feel

1773
01:44:37,240 --> 01:44:40,000
Speaker 1: connected somehow, as I listened to the last ninth show

1774
01:44:40,040 --> 01:44:41,800
Speaker 1: and realized I wasn't the only one who caught it.

1775
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:44,479
Speaker 1: I thought perhaps you might feel glad we all listen

1776
01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:47,280
Speaker 1: so carefully. Yes, Sarah, there was a bit of a

1777
01:44:47,280 --> 01:44:52,439
Speaker 1: preview that was unintended of perhaps Buck spending more time

1778
01:44:52,439 --> 01:44:56,519
Speaker 1: in our nation's capital starting very soon. So, like I said,

1779
01:44:56,560 --> 01:44:58,880
Speaker 1: neither confirmed nor deny. But those of you who mistic

1780
01:44:58,880 --> 01:45:01,160
Speaker 1: can go back and listen on the podcast and you

1781
01:45:01,240 --> 01:45:04,200
Speaker 1: can make up your own minds about it. Uh, let's

1782
01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:08,960
Speaker 1: see we have. I I gotta say, I don't know

1783
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:12,200
Speaker 1: how to how to pronounce this. Let me know when

1784
01:45:12,240 --> 01:45:15,000
Speaker 1: you get to San Diego, big fan here, Well, I

1785
01:45:16,240 --> 01:45:20,920
Speaker 1: uh thank you, and I'm here, So there you go.

1786
01:45:21,280 --> 01:45:24,559
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be downtown tonight in San Diego. Wandered

1787
01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:28,599
Speaker 1: around probably whatever the best seafood restaurant in San Diego is,

1788
01:45:28,880 --> 01:45:31,160
Speaker 1: that is probably where I will be tonight. So whatever

1789
01:45:31,200 --> 01:45:34,080
Speaker 1: that is. I'm an oyster guy. I'm a seafood guy.

1790
01:45:34,120 --> 01:45:37,560
Speaker 1: And Ms Molly hates all that stuff. Loves tuna. I

1791
01:45:37,600 --> 01:45:40,240
Speaker 1: mean there's some seafood she likes, but it does not

1792
01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:43,880
Speaker 1: like any of the raw shellfish. So when I'm when

1793
01:45:43,880 --> 01:45:45,880
Speaker 1: we're separated, she had to go back to New York.

1794
01:45:46,479 --> 01:45:52,080
Speaker 1: When we're separated, I tend to really indulge my inner

1795
01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:59,000
Speaker 1: post sidon so poetic bucks so poetic. Uh. Dr Lee, Hey,

1796
01:45:59,120 --> 01:46:01,920
Speaker 1: Dr Lee, have heard from you in a while. That's

1797
01:46:01,960 --> 01:46:04,920
Speaker 1: really nice. Dr Lee is one of my OSS squad

1798
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:08,240
Speaker 1: here and she's got more degrees than I have, uh

1799
01:46:08,520 --> 01:46:11,760
Speaker 1: fingers on my hands, she writes in as always love

1800
01:46:11,800 --> 01:46:14,519
Speaker 1: the show. Shout out to my fellow OSS peeps from

1801
01:46:14,640 --> 01:46:17,759
Speaker 1: Dr Lee today. I was especially moved by the story

1802
01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:20,040
Speaker 1: you shared about the young man who realized how self

1803
01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:24,320
Speaker 1: involved he was and ultimately changed his attitude. Thankfully, I

1804
01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:27,040
Speaker 1: work at a university allows me to even encourage me

1805
01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:31,320
Speaker 1: uh to share my faith with students. Thus, every morning

1806
01:46:31,320 --> 01:46:34,639
Speaker 1: at the beginning of class, I have spiritual reflections where

1807
01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:38,240
Speaker 1: I share inspirational stories. Today I use this story as

1808
01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:42,040
Speaker 1: our time to reflect on compassion for others. Since today's

1809
01:46:42,040 --> 01:46:45,960
Speaker 1: topic was on energy balance and obesity. Because of this story,

1810
01:46:45,960 --> 01:46:47,519
Speaker 1: I think they will look at Obesi with a different

1811
01:46:47,520 --> 01:46:50,040
Speaker 1: set of eyes shields. I can't wait to see all

1812
01:46:50,040 --> 01:46:52,880
Speaker 1: in Austin. Well, Dr Lee, I'll certainly give you a

1813
01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:55,200
Speaker 1: heads up when I'm gonna be down in the Austin

1814
01:46:55,240 --> 01:46:58,519
Speaker 1: area working on that trip uh, and I'm hopefully gonna

1815
01:46:58,520 --> 01:47:01,439
Speaker 1: be bringing it to fruition. Maybe not this summer because

1816
01:47:01,479 --> 01:47:04,080
Speaker 1: it's like a little hot in Austin over the summer,

1817
01:47:04,120 --> 01:47:08,680
Speaker 1: but the fall, like October, maybe November be like a

1818
01:47:08,840 --> 01:47:11,120
Speaker 1: great time for me to go check out what's going

1819
01:47:11,160 --> 01:47:14,360
Speaker 1: on in Austin, I think, um, but might be sooner

1820
01:47:14,400 --> 01:47:16,720
Speaker 1: than that too. And yeah, I thought that story that

1821
01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:19,880
Speaker 1: guy told was really moving. And you know I I

1822
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:23,600
Speaker 1: still um, yeah, there's there's a couple of stories that

1823
01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:25,040
Speaker 1: it reminded me of that I might share with you

1824
01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:28,439
Speaker 1: later on later on, Well it wouldn't be this week,

1825
01:47:28,439 --> 01:47:31,720
Speaker 1: but next week. Um. And I will tell you that

1826
01:47:31,960 --> 01:47:34,559
Speaker 1: one thing that I've I've really never been able to shake.

1827
01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:38,960
Speaker 1: It's just me sharing some truth, sharing some of my

1828
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:40,519
Speaker 1: truth with you here, which I try to do all

1829
01:47:40,520 --> 01:47:43,920
Speaker 1: the time. But this is on a personal side. Is

1830
01:47:44,040 --> 01:47:46,519
Speaker 1: whenever I have mistreated somebody who has been good to me,

1831
01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:50,240
Speaker 1: and even a small way, I have a really hard

1832
01:47:50,240 --> 01:47:53,720
Speaker 1: time with that, meaning that I remember it for for

1833
01:47:54,040 --> 01:47:59,200
Speaker 1: years and I always want to make amends. And fortunately,

1834
01:47:59,200 --> 01:48:02,160
Speaker 1: I will say I think the incidents are few and

1835
01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:04,880
Speaker 1: far between, but I mean even kind of more minor ones,

1836
01:48:05,080 --> 01:48:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, or before I got into media, if anyone

1837
01:48:09,280 --> 01:48:11,680
Speaker 1: when I was in the agency or before that, you know,

1838
01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:15,040
Speaker 1: kind of looked up to me and I didn't. Yeah,

1839
01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:18,880
Speaker 1: I didn't live up to the expectation of one where

1840
01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:21,280
Speaker 1: or another or not even the expectation. Just live up

1841
01:48:21,280 --> 01:48:25,880
Speaker 1: to my own standards. So it's important always always keep

1842
01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:27,920
Speaker 1: in mind those around you who are trying to show

1843
01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:30,160
Speaker 1: you kindness in respect, and they may not be doing

1844
01:48:30,160 --> 01:48:34,479
Speaker 1: it in the way that you necessarily would assume they would, right,

1845
01:48:34,600 --> 01:48:36,280
Speaker 1: and they may not be. They may not be the

1846
01:48:36,320 --> 01:48:38,599
Speaker 1: smoothest or the coolest and how they do it. But

1847
01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, never forget the person that does a little

1848
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:44,360
Speaker 1: a little nice thing here or there for you. Um

1849
01:48:44,439 --> 01:48:47,599
Speaker 1: and and always try to be thankful for it. Uh
