1 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Former FBI and doctor 2 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: James Comy seems to have some very selective amnesia. And 3 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 1: oh turns out he's a wildly anti Trump partisan. We 4 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 1: knew that, but we got details. Plus can the government 5 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: take your house if you underpay your taxes for eight dollars? 6 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: Can answer to that and much more coming up on 7 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: the buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show 8 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really 9 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a 10 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: great American. Again the buck Sexton Show begins. Analysts, remember, 11 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: I hope Donald Trump is not removed from office by 12 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: impeachment because it would let the country off the hook, 13 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: and it would drive into the fabric of our nation 14 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: a third of the people believing there was a coup. 15 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: And we need a moment of inflection where we all 16 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: get off the couch and say that is not who 17 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: we are and in a landslide, rid ourselves of this 18 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: attack on our values. And if we in a way 19 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 1: short circuited that with an important legitimate process through the Constitution, 20 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: I worry that we wouldn't we be letting ourselves off 21 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: the hook In away, and we wouldn't have the moment 22 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: of clarity that we need in this country. That said, 23 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: if the facts are there and the legislative two houses 24 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: of Congress think it's appropriate, that's fine. Someone please make 25 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: the sank to Komi stop. I don't know how much 26 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: more of that I could handle. Welcome to buck Sex 27 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: and show great to be back, everybody. Thank you so 28 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: much for joining me. I know I was, I was out. 29 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: I felt very ill last week, but I am back 30 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: in action, and man, I missed you guys. This is 31 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: the most fun part, most worthwhile part of my day 32 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: every day. And I would only take days off when 33 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: I absolutely have to forrather need, you know, the needs 34 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: of vacation or health. In this case, it was health. 35 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: Let's get to Komy right away here. So I read 36 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: the Komy transcript over the weekend, because that's the kind 37 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: of fun party animal that I am. It's hanging out, 38 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: rocking out, listening to some Kenny g reading some Komy transcripts, 39 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: you know, as one does. And I'm reading the Komy 40 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: stuff and then this speech or forum whatever it is. 41 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 1: He sits down at the ninety second Street y in 42 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: New York and has to sit down talk and you 43 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: get these moments of pure, unadulterated komey Ism that we 44 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: should all remember. And now that we see who this 45 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: guy is, Now that we've an understanding of who this 46 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: FBI director really was and the role that he played 47 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: in the anti Trump cabal at the FBI, you got 48 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: to reevaluate everything that we had heard from beforehand, everything 49 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: we saw originally about Russia collusion and Comy's firing. This 50 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: guy is a hack and a loon. Maybe he has 51 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: been mentally and emotionally broken by Trump the way so 52 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: many others who I had, even in some cases previously 53 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: respected and thought were intelligent, but many of them have 54 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 1: been broken by Trump and by Trump is m so 55 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: that could be the case with him. Although I think 56 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: that what we've seen is that Comy all along has 57 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: been a Comyist first and foremost. He's been most concerned 58 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: with himself and with the institutions, notably the FBI the 59 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: Department of Justice that he ties himself to. But you 60 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: got a really interesting view of how this man sees 61 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: himself there and how he plays the game, because he's 62 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: definitely somebody that is executing on a public relations strategy 63 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: here you know this. He's the one who leaked information 64 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: to somebody so that I could get into the New 65 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: York Times to damage He takes all this very personally. 66 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: Coomy is a very large ego, all six foot eleven 67 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: of him, and he says in that one little sound 68 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: bite we played for you that he's really hoping they 69 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: don't impeach the president because we need to cut because 70 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: people would think it's a coup. Yeah, maybe because it 71 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: really is a soft coup in a sense. He's gaslighting 72 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: the American people here by saying, well, if if they 73 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: were to go forward with impeachment and then removal, which 74 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: is not for that, it's never gonna happen. This sen 75 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: it's never gonna move Trump and this is all that's 76 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: all just happy horse, you know what. But even if 77 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: it just goes through impeachment, he wants to say, oh, well, 78 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna say it's because of a deep state. They're 79 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: gonna say it's a soft coup, so that shouldn't happen. Well, 80 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: the reason we're gonna say that's because it is. Because 81 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: that's what we've seen. That's what the evidence shows that 82 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: there has been a very obvious, now ongoing longstanding plot, 83 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: a collusion, if you will, between the establishment elites, Democrat Party, DNC, 84 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: Hillary senior officials, the DOJ, Sally Yates, Brannan, These these 85 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: left wing partisans you know from the boomer generation, who 86 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: have bought into all the progressive claptrap about how important 87 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 1: they are and how how wonderful they are for the 88 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: future of the country and everything else. We've seen what 89 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: they've done. We don't have even a full accounting of 90 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: it yet, but we know that they stacked the deck 91 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: against Trump. We know that they tried to take him 92 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: down from the inside. And now you get you get 93 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: to have Comy out there lecturing us on how well 94 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: we don't want we don't want the president to be 95 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: impeached because then people might think, I don't know where 96 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: they'd get this idea that there was almost some group 97 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: of senior government officials working to protect Hillary and destroy Trump. 98 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: Isn't that gaslighting? He is gaslighting you those who don't 99 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: know what that is. It's be like if you know 100 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: if I hit you and then and then five seconds later, 101 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: I say I didn't hit you and you say, yeah, 102 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: you did, that's gaslighting you. That's what Kobe's doing. But 103 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: part of a deep state cabal. And now what do 104 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: you mean. I mean we can't have them, We can't 105 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: have removal from office because the people would think there's 106 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: a deep state cabal. Oh, I wonder why they'd think that, 107 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: and then play clip four. I can't see that what 108 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: the end of the Mueller effort looks like. I don't 109 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: know what form it will take. I don't know what 110 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: they'll conclude, and so I can't say in that respect, 111 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: I can tell you that all of us should use 112 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: every breath. We have to make sure that the line 113 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: stops on January twentieth, twenty one. I understand any of 114 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: the Democrats have important debates have about who their candidates 115 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: should be. They have to win. They have to win. 116 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: Democrats have to win. Now the becomie's not a partisan, 117 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: you see, That's what they'll tell you, Oh, a lifelong Republicans. 118 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: Not even true. And by the way, there are Republicans 119 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: that hate Trump more than anybody else. In fact, there 120 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: are a lot of Republicans who know that if they 121 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: switch parties officially, then they'll just be the opposition. So 122 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: they'd rather keep that Republican they have the Jennifer Ruben 123 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: maneuver over at the Washington Post. Keep calling yourself a Republican, 124 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: so then you have more credibility when you bash Republicans 125 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: all the time. So that's a stupid talking point that 126 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: they use, but they use it because people buy you 127 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: do because they got other things I got to think about. Fortunately, 128 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: I just have this to think about all day. But 129 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: Comey is a hyperpartisan, which then makes us naturally think, 130 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: when did he become so anti Trump? When did he 131 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: become this left wing pro elite and therefore pro Hillary 132 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: actor on the stage here? And what about all the 133 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: decisions ever made? What about the decision not to prosecute Hillary, 134 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: which Comy violated department policy in doing that whole Prescot's conference. 135 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: I mean, there's clearly stuff that he's done where Comy 136 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: has aired. No matter who you are, you have to admitted. 137 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he got the guy was going rogue, but 138 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: he went rogue for the right side. That's why they 139 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: try to downplay it and say it's not really that 140 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: big a deal. But it is a very big deal. 141 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: And why is it that we are told, for an example, 142 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: that Whittaker, who is the acting Attorney General, is someone 143 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: who is cannot be trusted because of his pro Trump sympathies, 144 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: but those same people, so he is not an ethical person, 145 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: an ethical an ethical individual at the DOJ according to 146 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: the left. I mean, I'm not saying I buy this, 147 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: but this is what they'll tell you and the media, 148 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: the left, the media. It's interchangeable. And then they will 149 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: also say, well, the Department of Justice didn't file charges 150 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: against Hillary Clinton, so you know, that's the end of that. 151 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: No discussion to be had there. Department of Justice didn't 152 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: want to pursue the Clinton Foundation, even though there are 153 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: whistle blowers came out last week who had the evidence. 154 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: They got the goods Clinton Foundation. A lot of corruption 155 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: and self dealing and nonsense going on there at a charity. Yeah, 156 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: at a charity, but involved the Clintons. What a surprise. 157 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: But we're supposed to believe that Lauretta Lynch and Sally 158 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: Yates and James Comey, the people who were making the 159 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: key decisions about both the Hillary investigations that should have 160 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: been ongoing, email Clinton Foundation in or just go through them. 161 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: Uranium won all of that. The people that are making 162 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: the decisions about that, and also behind the scenes pushing 163 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: this whole Russia collusion fantasy. We're supposed to trust those 164 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: people that they were making decisions in good faith. Then 165 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: they've only become partisan now or now they've left government. 166 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: We know what they are, but they weren't that. Then 167 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: this defies logic. This is not credible, just as Coomy's 168 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, not sure, don't remember. Coomy was in 169 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: fun of Congress last week. They released the full transcript 170 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: of but I read through it, and you know what 171 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: Comy does to avoid perjury charges. I mean, first of all, 172 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: he's so smug and sanctimonious. I don't know how people 173 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: ever worked for this guy and dealt with this guy. 174 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: I really don't. I don't know, But every time he 175 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: gets asked a question, it's well to the extent of 176 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: my knowledge in the situation. I have no knowledge of 177 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: that situation. So that he could avoid answering questions and 178 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: avoid a real perjury trap by just always claiming that 179 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: he doesn't remember you. And I would note that the DOJ. 180 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: In fact, Coomy's close buddy Fitzgerald, went after Scooter Libby 181 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: for not remembering something properly. They try to ruin his 182 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: life over it. So you know who gets the benefit 183 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: of the doubt who gets treated in faith by the 184 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: Justice Department versus who gets crushed, you know, who gets 185 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 1: the Muller treatment. Everybody that comes in his path just 186 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: gets gets chewed up and spat out. This is where 187 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: the justice system is failing. This is where the real 188 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,239 Speaker 1: undermining of institutions is occurring. And it's where the Democrats 189 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: have been running wild and the anti Trump left has 190 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: exposed themselves in the most egregious ways. And they want 191 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: us to just forget about this. They want us to, 192 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: you know, look at look to some other explanation of 193 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: these events. And there I'm gonna talk about the campaign 194 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: finance issue with with Cohen coming up here in just 195 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: a little bit. That's their big thing. Now, that's the 196 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: big reveal. Oh, we've we've got the president on conspiracy 197 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: to commit a vague campaign finance violation that would probably 198 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: be a civil penalty if it didn't avoid it didn't 199 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: involve Trump, and it's not a big deal anyway, but 200 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: let's try to end his presidency over These people are bonkers, 201 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: looney tunes, insane, but unfortunately they have power and they're dedicated, 202 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: and they think they're taken down this president. Well, They're 203 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: not going to do it on our watch without a fight, 204 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: that's for sure. Team.

And now more than ever, 227 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: when you see the caravan, I know what Lindsay Graham 228 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: was talking about. You've got thousands of people literally saying 229 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: we're just going to storm your border and come into 230 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: the country. And oh, by the way, we have at 231 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: least six hundred known convicted criminals as part of this caravan. 232 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 1: These are people seeking asylum. By the way, Sandraw they 233 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: were offered asylum and jobs in Mexico and turned it down. 234 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: So let's not talk about asylum. It's whether or not 235 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: we're going to have rule of law in the country. 236 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: Democrats are perpetuating a scam and a lie against the 237 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: American people here at the border, and I really hope 238 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: the administration doesn't take its eye off the ball, so 239 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: to speak, here. I really hope that they follow through 240 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 1: on this. I think though, that the indications right now 241 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: are bad. I think that it looks like we're going 242 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: to see a continuing resolution or whatever the budgetary measure 243 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't even really mean, you know, they're going to 244 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: kick the can down the road, however they whatever they 245 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: call it, however they do it, They're going to fund 246 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: the government. It's not going to be a shutdown. And 247 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: it's because ultimately Democrats can't cave on this issue, because 248 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: their worst fear is that they allow for the robust 249 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: construction of the construction of a robust wall, and it 250 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: works and we see a drop, and then not only 251 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: will we realize that this is something we need to 252 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: invest even more heavily in, we would see a change 253 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: in the dynamic over the immigration discussion, overall, over the 254 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: illegal immigration discussion, and we'd know the Democrats have been 255 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: lying to us and just repeating a stupid talking point 256 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: for not just weeks, for years. For years, they've been 257 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: saying that a wall won't do anything. So they're desperate 258 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: to prevent a wall from going up, because if we 259 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: can then see that it does something, what do they 260 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: say that. You know, this is just like Democrats were saying, oh, 261 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: you know the caravans a thousand miles away. Yeah, okay, 262 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: wasn't thousand miles away. Now it's at the border. Oh, 263 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: as I've been saying, they have buses and trains and 264 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: cars in Mexico. This should be a surprise to no one. 265 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: But that's that was something that they were saying and 266 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: thought they were clever for saying it at the time too. 267 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: But the latest here, this is from earlier today, it's 268 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: the Washington Post, is that is that Trump is going 269 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: to get offered one point three billion dollars by Democratic 270 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: leaders one point three billion dollars when they meet tuesday 271 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: at the at the White House. I'm sorry, yeah, when 272 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: they meet you to the White House. And that's because 273 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: that's tomorrow, and that is short of the five billion 274 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: dollars Trump says he needs for a border wall. Minority 275 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: Leader Pelosi is saying that, if anything, that they could 276 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: move further apart on this one. Here's what we're being told. Quote. 277 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: Schumer had suggested Trump except one point six billion border funding, 278 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: the funding level included in the Senate bill with bipartist support, 279 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: but that one point six billion would struggle the past 280 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: the House, where Democrats won't support it because they say 281 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: it's too much, Republicans say it's not enough. It would 282 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: extend current funding levels, and if no dealers reached by 283 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: the end of next week, funding will run out for 284 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: homeland security and other federal agencies. They're not going to 285 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: run out of money. And five billion dollars for an 286 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: issue that's important. I mean when I mean they're not 287 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: gonna run of money, I mean they're gonna extend this. 288 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: They're not going to shut down the government. We just 289 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: don't have the I don't know, we don't have the 290 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: courage of our convictions on the right for some reason 291 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: on this issue. I think it's because a lot of 292 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: Republicans are are really just big phonies on the issue. 293 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: They're really just not honest with the with their voters 294 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: and with the people that support them when election time 295 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: comes about what they want to do with the border, 296 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: because I mean, it's now or never for this thing. Man, 297 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: it better happened now or else it's not going to happen. 298 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: And five billion dollars for given what our government spends 299 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: and what it spends money on every year, five billion 300 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: dollars to protect our southern border is a drop in 301 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: the bucket, man. This is this is not people who 302 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: are pretending the expense is what's you know, So haven't 303 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: we spend like forty or fifty million on the stupid 304 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: Mueller probe? I know that's not five billion, but it's 305 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: forty or fifty million. And think about the money that 306 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: we spend on they we're spending things on this government. 307 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: And this is a really important issue. This is about security, 308 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: it's about sovereignty. And I just wish, wish that the 309 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: Republicans would would would fight. Man. I mean, just get up, 310 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: tell the American people why you're doing it. The media 311 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: doesn't have the ability to just lie to us all 312 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: like they used to anymore. Get up and fight on 313 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: this issue and make your case. If you do that, 314 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: I think that you'll see. You know, with the Schumer 315 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: shut down, Trump was able for the first time to 316 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: get to a place where it seemed like there wasn't 317 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: this built in, baked in assumption. Then anytime there's a shutdown, 318 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: the president or the Republican rather the Republican Party is 319 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: to blame. I think they're gonna cave on this. And 320 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: every time I've told you in the past they're gonna cave, 321 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: I think I've been right. I just think they're gonna cave. 322 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: And this means the border issue continues on and and 323 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: you know, we're rolling the dice. If you get a 324 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: large Democrat majority Congress with a Senate and president, you know, 325 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: going to Democrats in twenty twenty, which is not far away. 326 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: We're already already starting to see people talk about their 327 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty runs. Corey Booker, Oh yeah, Oh I'm spartacuse 328 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: Corey Booker was up in New Hampshire this past week. 329 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: You're already seeing that cycle begin. If they get this 330 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, I'm telling you they're the first thing 331 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna go for is amnesty, and then and then 332 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: it's all shoe. Then then the whole country has a 333 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: changed demographic reality. That means the Democrats are a one 334 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: party state. Effectively, Republicans will be in the minority, and 335 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: Democrats will just write the laws they want to write, 336 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: and they'll blame Republicans even though they don't have any power. 337 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: And America is going to cease to be America. That's 338 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: not a good thing. Let's go to this issue of impeachment. 339 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: They are the kind of offenses that would call for impeachment, 340 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: maybe grounds for impeachment, the prospect of impeachment, and this 341 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: is in fact one of the reasons why you have 342 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: the impeachment clause. Should the president be concerned about the 343 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: talks of impeachment. If we're going to impeach Synald Trump, 344 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: the drumbeats from Democrats for possible impeachment get louder. If 345 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: House members find impeachable offenses. It is not just the 346 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: right thing today is their duty. The House is going 347 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: to have little choice than to start impeachment proceedings. Donald 348 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: Trump will be must be impeached. Wait do they think 349 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: that maybe Donald Trump should be impeached? I'm not sure. 350 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: I don't what a bunch of clowns. Oh man, we've 351 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: known this. I know there's there's nothing here that surprises here. 352 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: There's nothing here that you know, we we we listened 353 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 1: to we go. Oh wait a second, I thought I 354 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: thought they were gonna wait for all the facts to 355 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 1: come in. You know what's more likely that I've known 356 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: all along, that you've known all along that they were 357 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: gonna find a pretext to impeach this president, or they 358 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: were just you know, sitting on the sidelines, just trying 359 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: to play it straight. And turns out that against their 360 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: better judgment. They really don't want to, they really wish 361 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 1: they didn't have to, but they just have to impeach 362 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: this president. They have no choice, but to defend our 363 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: democracy by impeaching the president for something something or other. 364 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: Russia finance, a porn stall are so. I mean, it's 365 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: just it changes every week. This is just a this 366 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: is an extension of the insanity of the that the 367 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: left has with how every week it's a different reason 368 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: for why Trump can't be president. You know, it's the 369 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: twenty fifth Amendment, it's it's the Emolument's clause. It's Russia collusion, 370 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: it's the the sympathy for white nationalists. It's he's crazy. 371 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: You know, he's too unhealthy, he eats too many cheeseburgers. 372 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: You know, he's a he's a sexual abuser. I mean, 373 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: they every week there's a new terrible crime that they just, oh, 374 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: we got to talk about this terrible crime. Trump. You know, 375 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: either they're crazy or Trump is the is the most dangerous, 376 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: frightening human being to have ever walked the face of 377 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: the earth. Um, it's store number one. They've they've lost 378 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: it that they are playing into a mass delusion. And 379 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: all you have to do is go back and and 380 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: look at what they've been saying all along, all these 381 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: different things. They keep making, these predict the predictions don't 382 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: come true, that keep making claims, the claims are proven false. 383 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: And and there's such an obvious mobilization here of leftist 384 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: journals to create a perception of the American people that 385 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: Donald Trump needs to go. You know, that Donald Trump 386 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 1: is is a threat to the republic. And then I 387 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: just see it here and I say to myself, you know, 388 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: at what point do I have to take a deep breath. 389 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: I mean, at least Maxine Waters as as much of 390 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 1: a loon as she is, at least she's like, yeah, impeachment. 391 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: I mean, she's been saying impeachment along. Maxie Waters is 392 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: more honest on this issue than the rest of the Democrats. 393 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: They're gonna impeach. People are saying, oh, Pelosi, so wily 394 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: in cage. Now, you're not gonna be a lot whether 395 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden the left is going to show 396 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: emotional discipline. No way, no way. So hey, props for Waters. 397 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: She's crazy, but at least she's honest crazy. Play seven. 398 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: I do believe that the Congress of the United States 399 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: of America have not assumed their responsibility that's given to 400 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: us by the Constitution of the United States, by way 401 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: of impeachment. This president in my estimation, has done everything 402 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: possible to certainly be eligible for impeachment, and so I 403 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: really do think that it should be started. The president 404 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: is a criminal. The president worked with Cohen, instructed him 405 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 1: to go and pay these women to be quiet, to 406 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: shut them up. The president not with just simply complicit 407 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 1: in all of this. He's the one who initiated this 408 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: with his attorney. And so this criminal must be brought 409 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: up by the Congress of the United States for impeachment. 410 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: That's right. You have a sitting member of Congress just 411 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: keeps referring to the Presidentited States as a criminal. He's 412 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 1: a criminal, it's what she keeps saying. Hasn't even had 413 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: a charge brought against him, but there is this insistence 414 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: that he's a criminal because the Left really, really, really 415 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 1: wants to believe that he is a criminal, and they 416 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: are so invested in this that they're never it's not 417 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: climate change, that it is impossible to change their mind 418 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: on the issue, because it would mean changing their mind 419 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: about how they feel about themselves, change their mind about 420 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: how they feel about their own intelligence, their own ability 421 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: to grasp facts and come to conclusions. It's not gonna happen. 422 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. But let me tell you how 423 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: I view this, because I'm hearing a lot of people 424 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: and I think this is all kind of a head fake. 425 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: I'm hearing people that, including some conservatives that I know 426 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: in media and outside of media, are saying that Pelosi 427 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 1: won't allow, She'll keep her members in line, she won't 428 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: allow the Democrats to go forward with impeachment because all 429 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: it'll do is push Trump supporters deeper into the bunker 430 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: for him. And and that's true. I mean, I think 431 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: it will the same way that we add a little 432 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: bit of a consolidation occur with cavanall that was including 433 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: even never Trump conservatives. I mean, you know, Cavanaugh was 434 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: a very binary issue. You know, you either believed in decency, 435 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: the presumption of innocence, rule of law, and justice, or 436 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: you didn't. And if you're a Democrat, you pretty much didn't. 437 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: But you know, you see what's going to happen in 438 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: this whole election process. I think it's pretty clear that 439 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: Democrats want to run against an impeach president. They they 440 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: know they've got the votes, they're gonna do it. They 441 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: impeach him, and then whoever the Democrat standard bearer is 442 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: gets to run against somebody. Remember, you know Bill Clinton 443 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: wasn't running again as an impeach president, right, you know 444 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna impeach this president and then use 445 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: that as a primary talking point for why you know, 446 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: he shouldn't he shouldn't win reelection. And then they're gonna 447 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: try to even further use that designation. This is what 448 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: liberals do. They name and shame, right. They they attach, 449 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: They attach one word if they can to somebody, you know, 450 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: they'll attach you know, racist, rapist, fraud, liar. I mean 451 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: that they try to just bash people with a single 452 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: word to define everything about them, many many, many cases 453 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 1: completely unfairly right. You know Kavanaugh they were saying was 454 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,479 Speaker 1: a rapist. That's a lie. These people are liars. They're crazy. 455 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: One of the most, I will tell you one of 456 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: the most. There are a few things on the show 457 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: I'm very proud of that we've done together. One of 458 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: them is the constant Stand for life. And you know 459 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 1: why I feel that way, because even if if we've 460 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: saved one if one woman changed her mind because she 461 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: listened to this show, it makes every single show I've 462 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: ever done worthwhile. So there's that issue and then the 463 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: other thing. I'm very proud that we we never wavered. 464 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: And you know, producer Mike had my back on this one, 465 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: and DJ John and the whole crew and all of you. 466 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: We did not waver on Kavanaugh. And it got it 467 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: got tough for a while there, meaning that the pressure 468 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: was overwhelming and the Left was assuming that they were 469 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: going to be able to just just shame and terrify 470 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: people into agreeing with them on this whole thing. And 471 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: we stood strong there. I'm very proud of that. But 472 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: that's what impeachment becomes. And this is what makes me think, 473 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 1: But impeachment becomes how could you, to anybody who's an independent, 474 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: to anybody who was a swing voter, how could you 475 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: vote for this? Impeach president? Oh he's a criminal, he's 476 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: so dirty, he's such a bad man. It's such a 477 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: bad guy. And they think that that will have that 478 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,479 Speaker 1: will have sufficient residence. You remember, the left is all 479 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: about slogans and chance and the mobilization of emotions for 480 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: political end. But Trump is better on the economy than Obama. 481 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: Trump is better at foreign policy than Obama. I mean, 482 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: you know, you look at you line these things up 483 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: and you line up these administrations, you say to yourself, well, 484 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: on the merits, yeah, is Trump a little as he 485 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: disappointed me so far with some things. Yeah, yeah, it's 486 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: a whole talk we're gonna have to have here on 487 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: the show at some point. But overall, I mean compared 488 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: to Obama, and when you add the judges into the 489 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: mix and his picks on the Supreme Court, I mean, 490 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: it's just this is no comparison as far as I'm concerned. 491 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: So what are they gonna do for swing voters? Say? 492 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: Forget about his record, forget about the economy. He was 493 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: impeached because he's a criminal, and that then just becomes 494 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: the whole twenty twenty campaign for whoever the Democrat nominee is. 495 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: I do want a note to you, and I talk 496 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: about business all the time as a major position, and 497 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: the six people that they have put out that are 498 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: shortlisted are all white guys. I cannot think of one 499 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: single public company right now that if they had an 500 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: open senior position like that or a board seat, you 501 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: would never in twenty eighteen see that the shortlist is 502 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,479 Speaker 1: one or two, three, four, five, six white guys. Even 503 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: if you're not going to pick somebody else usually put 504 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: on the list, But that isn't Isn't that stunning that 505 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: the White House has no problem? Yep, these are our six. 506 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: If you saw a public company and put out that 507 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,239 Speaker 1: list right now, they would get collaborate. A lot of 508 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: interesting stuff thrown in there. That was from MSNBC host 509 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: Stephanie Ruler. She's talking about the White House Chief of 510 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: Staff opening right now because, as you know, John Kelly, 511 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: General Kelly is stepping down. I saw today they're offering 512 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: him for a tell all memoir. Fifteen million dollars. That 513 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: was in the delimail. I don't think he's gonna you know, 514 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen. I mean that's I 515 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: don't Kelly doesn't strike me as a tell all guy 516 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: at all, so I doubt. But that's a lot of 517 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: money for a book. Fifteen million dollars up front and 518 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: advanced folks fifteen million. If he writes a tell all, 519 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: he won't do it though he's the guy's got the 520 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: guy's got too much honor. I think he's I think 521 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: he's you know, ticked off at Trump. Don't get me wrong, 522 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any love lost between those two 523 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: at this point. But he just has too much respect 524 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: for the office, too much respect for the presidency to 525 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: profit in that way in a way that would very 526 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: obviously damage administration, make things more difficult, slow it down. 527 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: But what was so interesting to me about that exchange 528 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: on MSNBC is you have this you know, obviously very 529 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: self righteous lib female host who is saying, you know, 530 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: isn't it so terrible that they're considering six white guys 531 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: for the chief of staff role, and the guests, I 532 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: don't know, the guests is the guess is like, yeah, 533 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: even if they're only going to pick a white guy, 534 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: they should at least pretend like they won't. I'm like, oh, oh, 535 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: I'm glad that we're now at a place where we 536 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: prefer you know, in this in this culture that is 537 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: now obsessed with the appearance of diversity. I mean, not 538 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: not true diversity of experience, of background, of class, you know, no, no, 539 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: the the the appearance, the skin deep appearance of diversity 540 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: in all senses. Um that we have a society where 541 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: people would prefer that they go through the pretense of 542 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: being open to other people, uh, you know, than than 543 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: white males for the role that they even if they 544 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: already know they're gonna hire, they gotta pretend like they're 545 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: gonna hire somebody who's a minority or a female that 546 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: that's preferable. I'm like, why is that? Why is that 547 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: window dressing a preferable? But you know, it's just an 548 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: it's just an interesting thing for me. I just I'm 549 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: pointing that one out. But you know, the real problem here, 550 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: and this is an issue, and this is something that 551 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: the the Libs and the left have been very effective, um, 552 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: you know, at doing. The real problem is that the 553 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: U jobs in the White House, usually White House jobs 554 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: are such fiercely contested positions. You know, you have this 555 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: guy Nick Airs who was thought that he was going 556 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: to be the next chief of Staff and he's not 557 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: taking In fact, he's leaving the White House altogether. And 558 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: people are burning out. And that's one part of it. 559 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: And that's normal. There's high turnover. There's the pretty high 560 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: turnover for chiefs of staff and the Obama administration and 561 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: it's just the way it is. But you got to 562 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: think about it this way. The value proposition now to 563 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: join the Trump administration, it is real public service to 564 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: do it. Now for anybody with a high profile and 565 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: a successful life on the outside. Because one you're going 566 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: to be entering a very media hostile or hostile rather 567 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: a hostile, media encircled White House an administration. So you're 568 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: gonna be under siege from day one from the media, 569 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: and you risk reprisals against you. Never mind, you know, 570 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: usually you come out of the White House, you're supposed 571 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,719 Speaker 1: to get all kinds of plumb job offers. You're supposed 572 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: to get, Oh, you're gonna be on this board and 573 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: that board, You're gonna be on this TV show as 574 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: a contributor or, you know all these things, right, I 575 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: mean you look at the Obama administration. I mean the 576 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: jobs that people got from the Obama administration. Jake Carney's 577 00:32:54,520 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: like running content at Amazon. You look at the obamaministration people. 578 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: I mean they have just gotten incredible gigs. You know, 579 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: HBO is like throwing money and access at the pods. 580 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: Save the Pod, Save America kids. I mean, you know 581 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: these people all, Oh, you're trying the Obama administration, what 582 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: can we do to elevate you and pay you more money? 583 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: And you know, even if you stink, by the way, 584 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: even if you're not even good and with the Trump administration, 585 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: what you have is the opposite effect, where if you 586 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: go and you work for this administration, now you come 587 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: out on the outside. Not only the jobs not there 588 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: for you, there are people that might decide they don't 589 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 1: want to do business with you anymore. And they might 590 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: not even be never trumpers themselves or hashtag resistance themselves. 591 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: They just don't want the heat. So and then it 592 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:49,719 Speaker 1: becomes this self reinforcing cycle, of a vicious cycle of 593 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: because they can't get the kind of people as quickly 594 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: as they want for some of these roles, then you know, 595 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: the media tells this story of people don't want to 596 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: work for a minute station, which then perpetuates a story 597 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: of how they can't get the people they want. Right. 598 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: I also, I'm just gonna say this right now. I 599 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: find it I find it so obvious and so odious 600 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: that journalists, you know, they always do this thing of 601 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: people that are in the media that work for publican 602 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: administrations are all unqualified. Meanwhile, you know, when Jake Carney 603 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 1: was made Press secretary and now is running content, you know, 604 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: we look at these different people that there were dozens 605 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: of journalists that went in the Obama administration, all different levels. 606 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: None of them we're talked about is unqualified. So journalists 607 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: have no there's no respect that they confer to just 608 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 1: their fellow journalists. It's their fellow lives, their fellow lives. 609 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: Those are the ones that they're willing to go to 610 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,399 Speaker 1: bat for and protect and say, oh, this person so great, 611 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: And I just I saw this with Heather Noward, who look, 612 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: I think is great. I thought she was a star 613 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,439 Speaker 1: at Fox. She was always delightful to work with. She's 614 00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: very smart. She's done a very good job as Press 615 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: secretary at the United Nations. And people are saying she's 616 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: not qualified to be US ambassador the United Nations, And 617 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: say why, but she can't. Have You think Samantha Power 618 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: so qualified, some crazy kuk PhD wandering around talking about 619 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: policy all the time that doesn't actually work. You think 620 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: you think Samantha Power is is some you know, some 621 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: great You think Susan Rice with some brilliant foreign policy 622 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,839 Speaker 1: might look at the job she had, but they trash 623 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: and look they do it in part also because she 624 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: fits this moment that the left hates that on the right, 625 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: there are there are and I can't tell you why 626 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,839 Speaker 1: it is I don't know what the reason is.

They really don't like that. That 634 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: just that stands all the wrong messages as far as 635 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: the left is concerned.

I think what's 661 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 1: interesting about this is people forget history. The Federal Elections 662 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 1: Commission actually ruled on this with John Edwards. They actually 663 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: came up with a ruling and said that you know 664 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 1: what the paying of his mistress was not a was 665 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: not a campaign finance violation. We've overcriminalized campaign finance. I 666 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: think we need to wait till we see the full picture. Now. 667 00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,080 Speaker 1: The question that's presented just by Michael Cohen's plea and 668 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: the just from filing is a crime directed and coordinated 669 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 1: by the president, which helped him obtain office sufficient to 670 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: warrant his removal from that office. That's a legitimate question 671 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:17,800 Speaker 1: to ask. So much lawyering going on here, so much 672 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 1: contortion in the assessments of the law and in the 673 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 1: way that people talk about these issues on the left, 674 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,280 Speaker 1: all in an effort to come up with a narrative 675 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: to frame them in such a way that you can 676 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: say things like crime and criminal and as though the 677 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: people involved are bad people, as though there's something really 678 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 1: substantial at stake here. This is the big lie that 679 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: you get from Democrats when it comes to all things 680 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 1: Trump and Muller Special Counsel related. They're trying so hard 681 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 1: to convince people. They're trying so very hard to make 682 00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: them think that there's some really important principle at stake here, 683 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,879 Speaker 1: and what exactly is it when it comes to campaign finance. Well, 684 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:09,439 Speaker 1: what we're supposed to have public disclosure. I'm not even 685 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: sure that I you know, here's the problem with a 686 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: campaign finance angle, which is what they're going with here. 687 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,359 Speaker 1: They think they're gonna end this president one way or another. 688 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,439 Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna get him to resign or they're 689 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 1: gonna beat him in reelection based on it. They're defin 690 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 1: gonna pach him, as we've been talking about. But they 691 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be on campaign finance. I just say, 692 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: the campaign finance laws, the more the more you know them, 693 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: the more you pay attention to them, they don't even 694 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 1: make any sense. These are dumb laws. The way the 695 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,720 Speaker 1: notion that people should be treated as criminals for campaign 696 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,839 Speaker 1: finance issues you look at as you're like, for what, 697 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 1: who is the victim here? Oh? Public transparency. Liberals get 698 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,839 Speaker 1: in such a little tizzy over this, and then when 699 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: you try to push them on them, push them on 700 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,080 Speaker 1: these matters one, they almost all I have no you 701 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,360 Speaker 1: over the They're just repeating whatever Rachel Mattau or Hayes 702 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: or Anderson Cooper or whoever said on TV last night. 703 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: They're just they're just regurgitating the this is what smart 704 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 1: people say talking point. That's it. They don't know anything 705 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,879 Speaker 1: about camp in finance. I mean, how many lives even 706 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: know that. For example, packs can be set up for 707 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: different candidates and the pack has no contribution limit whatsoever. 708 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 1: And before you announce running for the presidency, the pack 709 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: can pay for your travel, can pay for all kinds 710 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: of things. There are so many ways. I mean, this 711 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,720 Speaker 1: is why McCain fine gold. Yeah, that's right. Another legacy 712 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 1: of McCain that we don't talk about that much. That 713 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 1: is not good. McCain find gold. All these things is 714 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: a joke. I mean, all you can really credibly try 715 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: to prevent is straight up corruption, pay for play, quid 716 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: pro quo. You know, you can't say vote for this 717 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: bill and I'll give you ten million dollars. But you know, 718 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 1: there's a lot of way is to say do this 719 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: thing for me and I'll do something else for you later. 720 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: And it's not illegal, but it's pretty shady. It's very 721 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:12,720 Speaker 1: hard absent an ironclad quid pro quo situation. It's very 722 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: hard to really never mind prosecute people just to even 723 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:21,319 Speaker 1: understand what the lines are. And this is what they 724 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: think they're gonna get Trump on. This is how their 725 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,879 Speaker 1: grand investigation of all things Trump is supposed to end. 726 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: It's pathetic. It's pathetic. You know, Peter King mentioned this. 727 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 1: He got in this little bit play clip eleven Adam 728 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,800 Speaker 1: Schiff has been talking for two years about evidence of 729 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,799 Speaker 1: a collusion, and so far it has come up with nothing. 730 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,440 Speaker 1: If he's talking about the case in the Southern District 731 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,359 Speaker 1: against Michael Kohn, where they're talking about payoffs that were made, again, 732 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,399 Speaker 1: assuming that those facts that true, I don't think anyone 733 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 1: I would consider that to be a campaign contribution. Is 734 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 1: it even a campaign contribution? Forget about whether they can 735 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 1: prove that this was on a Trump's direction. And Cohen 736 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: has a huge incentive to lie and say it. Well, 737 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: Cohen loses nothing by saying this was all a Trump's direction. 738 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: I remember cohen employer, So he's supposed to be the 739 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 1: one that understands the legal jeopardy. And this is the 740 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: kind of issue where I mean, if some of you 741 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: were running, would you necessarily have known that you know, 742 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,399 Speaker 1: you can't make the personal payoff. And there's a good 743 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: faith argument that the personal payoff to Stephanie Clifford aka 744 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,719 Speaker 1: Stormy Daniels was not a campaign contribution. So if there's 745 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 1: a good faith effort that it's not I mean a 746 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 1: good faith argument, rather that it's not a campaign contribution, 747 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,399 Speaker 1: then you'd probably err on the side of well, I'm 748 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 1: that's my interpretation of it. This is like taxis I mean, 749 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: I had a we had a guest on today and 750 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 1: this guy had been he was on rising I remember 751 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,280 Speaker 1: his name. He said he'd been a prosecutor for decades 752 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: and worked in Alexandria for a while for the you know, 753 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: he's an assistant US attorney there. This guy's prosecuted a 754 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 1: lot of federal cases. And the stuff you're saying to 755 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 1: me was just bonkers in fact, that we're saying that, 756 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: you know that, yes, they finally got Trump. They've got 757 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 1: him on they've got them on this on the payoff 758 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 1: or they're gonna get them on taxes and the tax 759 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 1: evasion component here And I'm just sitting here, I'm like, 760 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: if they really think, if the DEM's the left really 761 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:17,400 Speaker 1: believe that campaign finance mickey mouse nonsense, and then turning 762 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,920 Speaker 1: Trump and the Trump organization upside down and ringing out 763 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 1: their pockets, you know, like an IRS audit, which is 764 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 1: effectively what Special Counsel Muller, you know, could be up 765 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: to next I think, by the way, I don't think 766 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 1: I don't think he'll draw a line on it. I 767 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,240 Speaker 1: don't think I'll do it. But if that all happens, 768 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 1: they think the American people will accept that. I mean, 769 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: Donald Rumsfeld used to write a letter to the IRS. 770 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this, used to write 771 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,760 Speaker 1: a letter of the IRS every year, saying your tax code, 772 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: even according to my tax experts, is unintelligible in some ways. 773 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,759 Speaker 1: And so I'm making a good faith effort to pay 774 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 1: all the taxes owed. But I can't. You know, I'm 775 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 1: signing my name to this, but I'm not able to 776 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 1: tell you one hundred percent if I did. I want 777 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 1: you to know that upfront. But that letter with it 778 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,720 Speaker 1: every year. This is Donald Rumps, the guy with Secretary Defense, 779 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 1: White House chief of Staff, guy knows some things about 780 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 1: some stuff. They think that the way to get Trump 781 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: is to go is to find tax irregularities. The tax 782 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 1: code seventy thousand pages. Any one of you listening right now, 783 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 1: I promise you I could, at least if we had 784 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,279 Speaker 1: the IRS, go after you aggressively. You know, if we 785 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: could find something that you've done that to tax irregularity, 786 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,560 Speaker 1: and then you get ano, oh is it criminal or 787 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,279 Speaker 1: is it civil? Well, as we see here, this is 788 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,920 Speaker 1: the game of Democrats love to play. The law is 789 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,799 Speaker 1: not really the law until they wanted to be the law. 790 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,840 Speaker 1: Then they're then they're a hardcore. Then then they want 791 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,880 Speaker 1: people to pay the you know, the harshest finds and 792 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 1: the biggest punishments. And you know, then all of a 793 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,399 Speaker 1: sudden they become really tough when there's a Republican that's 794 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,800 Speaker 1: in the crosshairs, when there's a Democrat, what it's Hillary 795 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 1: and her emails, Oh, you know what, there's no real 796 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 1: she didn't mean to there's a you know, men's right. 797 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,919 Speaker 1: And what you find is that the law is really 798 00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,280 Speaker 1: only as just as the people applying the law. Folks. 799 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,880 Speaker 1: That's the under And this is a for a lot 800 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:04,799 Speaker 1: of people, I guess, a revelation, but it's a really 801 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 1: unsettling one because when you have the politicization of the 802 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 1: judicial brands, when you have the politicization of prosecutors' offices, 803 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: particularly in the major urban areas where you got a 804 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 1: Democrats stronghold on politics, When you've got that going on, 805 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,919 Speaker 1: and then you have the recognition that there's no such 806 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 1: thing as justice, that the people that are administering justice 807 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:30,080 Speaker 1: are partisans and are corrupt. You want to talk about 808 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:34,759 Speaker 1: undermining the system, that is dramatically undermining our system. And 809 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,920 Speaker 1: people should feel like they can't trust the system with 810 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:45,120 Speaker 1: things like that going on. Absolutely, absolutely should feel very 811 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 1: strange about whether or not they can trust a system 812 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 1: like this. And I don't take any pleasure in telling 813 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 1: you that, because this takes us down a very dark 814 00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 1: path of the country. But campaign finance reform, or you'd 815 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 1: rather campaign finance laws, That's what I mean. The Libs 816 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: find of many as many ways as they possibly can 817 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 1: to shovel as much money into politics as they can, 818 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 1: and then they alter around like a bunch of sanctimonious 819 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 1: hall monitors, like we want the dark money out of politics.

We've talked about this on the show. 850 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,360 Speaker 1: One of the few places that used to be a 851 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:57,799 Speaker 1: bipartisan dare I say safe space where all Americans could 852 00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:02,280 Speaker 1: just find excitement and joy and inspiration and escape and relaxation, 853 00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,879 Speaker 1: you know, being a sports fan. Not anymore. And we 854 00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 1: see this time and time again out Now, before we 855 00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:10,719 Speaker 1: get into this, I will say there's a very nice 856 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 1: story involving Lebron James where he said a ball girl. 857 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,239 Speaker 1: I read about this over the weekend. A ball girl 858 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 1: had been wearing very unique Lebron James specific shoes time 859 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,200 Speaker 1: and time again, and one time at one of the games. 860 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,839 Speaker 1: She had been a ball girl at multiple games. He said, hey, 861 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 1: I see you like my shoes and she said, yeah, 862 00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:34,759 Speaker 1: I wear them all the time. You know, I've been 863 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 1: a fan my whole life. And he gave her a 864 00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,880 Speaker 1: pair of like, you know, super unique Lebron shoes as 865 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 1: you can't get her and she cried and it was 866 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 1: really nice and it was just a reminder of the 867 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 1: power of people in sports or in any medium where 868 00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 1: somebody has a following, has an audience, has a voice 869 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 1: to do something good for somebody. And really, I'm sure 870 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:54,839 Speaker 1: that guy made her day, probably made her month. I mean, 871 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:56,680 Speaker 1: you know, if I was a big lebron fan, I mean, 872 00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 1: that's the story I'd remember forever. So you know, that 873 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 1: does still happened. There's still the and and good things happened. 874 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 1: Like the Patriots, for example, you know, lose to the 875 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,480 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins in the last five seconds of the game. 876 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,279 Speaker 1: You know, good things can still happen. That's I know. 877 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 1: I've bought my peeps in Boston don't boove me. I'm sorry. 878 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 1: But there's this other thing that occurred over the weekend 879 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,480 Speaker 1: where a Heisman Trophy winner. You know what, producer Mike 880 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,879 Speaker 1: is way more up on football than I am. Uh, 881 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,359 Speaker 1: you know, Mike, what happened here with with Kyler Murray. Yeah, 882 00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,399 Speaker 1: so Kyler Murray won the Hisman Trophy and he beat 883 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:34,000 Speaker 1: out the University of Alabama quarterback to a Tagovailoa, which 884 00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 1: he played for Alabama all tie. So going into I 885 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 1: think most people in college football believe that to it 886 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,919 Speaker 1: is the much better quarterback. Um, he's on a really 887 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:51,799 Speaker 1: good team. But uh, you know, Kyler Murray was given 888 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,440 Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy. Some people say out of you know, 889 00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:59,200 Speaker 1: bias against Bama because they're so good. Um, other people 890 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,319 Speaker 1: on the Oklahoma I'll say, listen, Uh, Oklahoma has a 891 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,400 Speaker 1: really bad defense and it's up to their quarterback to 892 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,359 Speaker 1: put up mad numbers every week, which he does. I 893 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,480 Speaker 1: love all the sports analysis, but you know that we're 894 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,280 Speaker 1: trying to get into the politics. What happened to him? Right? Sorry? 895 00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:20,040 Speaker 1: I carried away? I love love for a second. So 896 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,160 Speaker 1: so this guy, this guy gets in trouble. He gets 897 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,239 Speaker 1: the Heisman trophies, first real national media attention, working his 898 00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,279 Speaker 1: whole life to this moment, nicest moment probably he's certainly 899 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:32,399 Speaker 1: the most high profile moment of his life. And they 900 00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 1: find out that when he was fifteen, he tweeted something 901 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 1: where he called one of his friends a a mean 902 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:45,160 Speaker 1: word for you know, a slur for gay people. Right, 903 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:49,759 Speaker 1: isn't that? Isn't that what happened here? Yeah? And multiple 904 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 1: news outlets wrote stories on this. So I mean, how 905 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:54,800 Speaker 1: this guy, if he's getting the Heisman, he's got to 906 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,759 Speaker 1: be like what twenty twenty one. Yeah, he's uh, he's young. 907 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,799 Speaker 1: He's uh a senior. He's probably twenty two because he 908 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,360 Speaker 1: you know, he also got drafted by the Oakland A 909 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,320 Speaker 1: so he's also a baseball player. But he was fifteen 910 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:11,800 Speaker 1: years old. USA Today did a piece old homophobic tweets 911 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:17,879 Speaker 1: resurface after he wins Heisman Trophy and and they came 912 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,759 Speaker 1: after him, and he said that. Kyler Murray wrote, I 913 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,799 Speaker 1: apologized for the tweets that have come to light from 914 00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,640 Speaker 1: when I was fourteen and fifteen. I used a poor 915 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:27,759 Speaker 1: choice of word that doesn't reflect who I am or 916 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:31,000 Speaker 1: what I believe. I did not intend to single out 917 00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,279 Speaker 1: any individual or group. You know, I've said this before. Man, 918 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:36,359 Speaker 1: you know, not only I got two problems with this, Mike. 919 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 1: Not only did they go I mean they're going after yeah, 920 00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 1: he's twenty one now. Not only they go after him 921 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,360 Speaker 1: for what he said when he was one kids fourteen. 922 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,400 Speaker 1: I mean, when you're a fourteen, you're you don't know anything. Yeah, 923 00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,799 Speaker 1: you're a kid. You're a fourteen year old kid. They 924 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 1: go everybody's fourteen. But then on top of that, I'd 925 00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,640 Speaker 1: also say that, you know, you go back, what that 926 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,400 Speaker 1: would be seven years ago, and you know, language and 927 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,640 Speaker 1: people sense sativity has changed a lot, and you know 928 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,960 Speaker 1: what's considered. You know, I think about you know, people 929 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,240 Speaker 1: would would use the r et a r D word 930 00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,799 Speaker 1: when I was growing up. They would use that as 931 00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:15,560 Speaker 1: a synonym for for dumb all I mean And now 932 00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:19,320 Speaker 1: I'm not somebody who is particularly h you know, I 933 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,200 Speaker 1: think that language should be free and even and even 934 00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,000 Speaker 1: salting sometimes. But when I that actually bothers me. Now, 935 00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:26,879 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm actually somebody who's like, you really can't 936 00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,040 Speaker 1: you know, that's not okay. You know, I'm having spent 937 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,480 Speaker 1: time around people that have that have that issue, have downs. 938 00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,600 Speaker 1: I really react very strongly to anybody thrown around that 939 00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,880 Speaker 1: word like it's some way to make fun of people. 940 00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 1: But I didn't when I was a kid. People run 941 00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,799 Speaker 1: around saying that all the time. And you know the 942 00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 1: word I'm thinking, he used a three letter word that 943 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,760 Speaker 1: begins with an F here, if memory serves, And while 944 00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:54,279 Speaker 1: certainly the context of defaming somebody or or or assaulting 945 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,600 Speaker 1: somebody for their their sexual orientation is is heinous and wrong, 946 00:52:58,160 --> 00:52:59,880 Speaker 1: a lot of kids said a lot of things that 947 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,040 Speaker 1: were stupid and didn't realize how stupid they were when 948 00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:07,080 Speaker 1: they were kids. I guess I'm alone on this one. 949 00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:08,480 Speaker 1: Where do you go, Mike? Now, I'm here, and I 950 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,400 Speaker 1: totally agree with you, man, I think it's out of control. 951 00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,120 Speaker 1: I mean, if you think about how many of your 952 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:13,880 Speaker 1: I mean, if you really think about how many of 953 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:17,759 Speaker 1: your peers would run around saying certain things, and you know, 954 00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,440 Speaker 1: calling each other certain things and not intending to attack 955 00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,520 Speaker 1: any group per se, but just you know, using these 956 00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:26,920 Speaker 1: words as pejoratives, like I mean, you know, you know, 957 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,040 Speaker 1: I mean, people use the word people use the word, 958 00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,279 Speaker 1: let's say, retard in ways when I was growing up 959 00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,520 Speaker 1: that you would never do it now. And they weren't 960 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:40,920 Speaker 1: saying it about people that actually have severe disabilities. They 961 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,520 Speaker 1: were just saying it through each other like they thought 962 00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:44,840 Speaker 1: it was a funny to say. I'm not excusing behavior. 963 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,200 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, we're kids. Kids are stupid, and they're 964 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,120 Speaker 1: using the language that's around them, and to go after 965 00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:52,280 Speaker 1: this guy and this way. Now it just feels like nobody, 966 00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 1: like Mike, if they go after anybody. I mean, I 967 00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,200 Speaker 1: wonder if you asked Barack Obama, like, did he ever 968 00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,520 Speaker 1: say R E T A R D about somebody he 969 00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,000 Speaker 1: probably did. Yeah, so does does he never get to 970 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:03,959 Speaker 1: talk in public again? I mean, just you know, where 971 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:05,320 Speaker 1: do we draw the line here? If you if you 972 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,040 Speaker 1: can get in trouble when you're fourteen, it just gets 973 00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,319 Speaker 1: me fired up. You heard about the Kevin Hart thing too, 974 00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 1: right along the same lines. No, what was it? Oh no, 975 00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,239 Speaker 1: that's why he can't host the Oscars? But what did 976 00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,719 Speaker 1: he say? Again? The same thing past tweets like from 977 00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 1: years ago, um, sort of the same subject matter. M 978 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:26,480 Speaker 1: used some homophobic slurs many years ago and came out 979 00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,840 Speaker 1: and he sort of didn't really apologize. He was like, listen, 980 00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,239 Speaker 1: He's like, I'm sorry for it, but I'm an evolving person. 981 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,680 Speaker 1: I'm growing person. I'm not gonna like go back like 982 00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,120 Speaker 1: years and years ago after everything I've done and apologize. 983 00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 1: So if you want me out of the Oscars, I'm 984 00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,120 Speaker 1: out fine. And like, people got really bent out of 985 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:47,040 Speaker 1: his reaction to it and him stepping down. Now it's 986 00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,040 Speaker 1: crazy because now nobody wants to host the Oscars. People 987 00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:50,160 Speaker 1: are like, it's not you know, you know, I was 988 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:51,920 Speaker 1: reading articles today. People in Hollywood are like, you know, 989 00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:53,759 Speaker 1: it's not worth it hosting the Oscars because if you're 990 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,879 Speaker 1: gonna get ripped over to Coles for everything you've ever done. 991 00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,959 Speaker 1: Do you mean there's just so many of these humorless, 992 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 1: stone face social justice tyrants running around that you know, 993 00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 1: they can't even keep up with their with their usage 994 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,400 Speaker 1: of language and what's accepted. And you know, and you 995 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,560 Speaker 1: think they'd get the things. You think they'd get tired 996 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:14,759 Speaker 1: of it after a while. But it doesn't seem like 997 00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:16,879 Speaker 1: this gets better. Man, it just seems like keeps getting worse. 998 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,960 Speaker 1: It's it's usually wind it usually winds up resulting on 999 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 1: liberal on nibble crime. They usually wind up eating their own. 1000 00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,640 Speaker 1: It was just hilarious. Oh, absolutely, you know, absolutely, And 1001 00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:26,840 Speaker 1: then they had this whole look it's you know, the 1002 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,120 Speaker 1: one of the things with the with the Me Too movement, 1003 00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,880 Speaker 1: for example, is they didn't think they were gonna have 1004 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,600 Speaker 1: to throw a US Senator Al Franken under the bus. 1005 00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,520 Speaker 1: But you know, they established the rules. Those are the rules. 1006 00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:41,080 Speaker 1: You know, they they this stuff boomerangs back on them sometimes, 1007 00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,040 Speaker 1: so you know, and now people are saying, maybe Franken 1008 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:44,520 Speaker 1: shouldn't have even resigned. I mean, you know, I'm not 1009 00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,920 Speaker 1: gonna get into that, but I'm just saying that, you know, 1010 00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,520 Speaker 1: they make these rules and then they're forced to your point, 1011 00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,239 Speaker 1: they're forced to live by them too. At least at 1012 00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:54,279 Speaker 1: some level, there's still double standards, but when there's an 1013 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,319 Speaker 1: egregious violation of them. And look, I mean, Kevin Hart's 1014 00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:59,520 Speaker 1: a guy who you know, I think would usually be 1015 00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 1: considering good standing in Hollywood and on the left and Democrats. 1016 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:06,960 Speaker 1: He's very famous and wealthy African American entertainer. But you know, 1017 00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:10,000 Speaker 1: he there's certain certain red lines and he crossed one 1018 00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,560 Speaker 1: of them for them. So from Philadelphia, just throw that 1019 00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,799 Speaker 1: in there. He's from Philly. Really. Oh yeah, you know, 1020 00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,640 Speaker 1: we gotta do like a one year We'll have to 1021 00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,239 Speaker 1: do like a like a charity event. We'll auction off 1022 00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:24,360 Speaker 1: for Team Buck. You know, a producer Mike personal guided 1023 00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,960 Speaker 1: tour of Philly, like Producer Mike's version of Philly. Yeah, 1024 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,920 Speaker 1: I think they'd be interesting. It starts the Rocky Statue 1025 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,560 Speaker 1: and ends at a cheese stake place. There we go. 1026 00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,000 Speaker 1: That's what I like to hear. So this guy Kyler, 1027 00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,040 Speaker 1: I think he apologized, which I usually say, don't apologize. 1028 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:39,560 Speaker 1: I think it's the right move. But you know, and 1029 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,000 Speaker 1: if you guys have any actual football questions, go to 1030 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,760 Speaker 1: producer Mike with those I'll be back in just a moment. 1031 00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,319 Speaker 1: Just let's get beyond the barriers talent, because they're going 1032 00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:56,520 Speaker 1: to hit US police throwing these tear gas kind of 1033 00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:25,120 Speaker 1: sis and bombs to scalp people. These nationwide protests continue 1034 00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:27,680 Speaker 1: to rock France. Things got rowdy over the weekend. You 1035 00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:31,480 Speaker 1: heard some of it there the Jul Jean. The Yellow 1036 00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:35,200 Speaker 1: Vests have already got some concessions from the government, but 1037 00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,800 Speaker 1: they're not stopping there. In fact, we have a new 1038 00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:41,640 Speaker 1: unofficial list of demands from the Yellow vests that includes 1039 00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:45,280 Speaker 1: a cut to taxes to twenty five percent of GDP, 1040 00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,800 Speaker 1: which is half of the current level, better public services, 1041 00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:53,480 Speaker 1: massive hiring of civil servants, leaving the EU and NATO, 1042 00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:58,360 Speaker 1: defaulting on public debt, a new constitution, less immigration, and 1043 00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:03,520 Speaker 1: scrapping the CFA Frank in West Africa. Huh. To make 1044 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:06,040 Speaker 1: sense of all this, we have Sir Rob Amari with 1045 00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:09,840 Speaker 1: us now. He is an editor of Opinion Collins over 1046 00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,440 Speaker 1: at the New York Post. Sir Rob, great to have 1047 00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 1: you on. Thanks for having me Buckah. So what do 1048 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,720 Speaker 1: you what do you make of? First of all, what 1049 00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,040 Speaker 1: have they gotten so far in terms of concessions, and 1050 00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,080 Speaker 1: what do you think of some of the some of 1051 00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:26,480 Speaker 1: the demands they're thrown out there now. Well, on the 1052 00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:30,760 Speaker 1: immediate concessions, remember bucks to sing that set this sauce, 1053 00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:37,880 Speaker 1: was President Emmanuel McCrone foolish plan to hike up attacks 1054 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:42,919 Speaker 1: on diesel and fuel, which obviously hits people who live 1055 00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:47,840 Speaker 1: in the rural areas and working class people who need 1056 00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:51,439 Speaker 1: to drive around the hardest um, and does not hit 1057 00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:55,680 Speaker 1: his own constituency of the sort of urban elite types 1058 00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:02,800 Speaker 1: who elected him. So that was the immediate I guess demand. 1059 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:06,960 Speaker 1: But since then it's gotten a little bit uh far 1060 00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 1: beyond that. We can talk about that. But Macron so 1061 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:12,360 Speaker 1: far has said he's willing to suspend the tax for 1062 00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,640 Speaker 1: six months, and he's but he's been he's been decidedly 1063 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,680 Speaker 1: sort of unwilling to address the protest directly because he 1064 00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:22,200 Speaker 1: has this sort of imperious style, you know, he styles 1065 00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,240 Speaker 1: himself a new de Gaul or even a new Napoleon, 1066 00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,480 Speaker 1: so he can't deign to talk to the people himself, 1067 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:32,480 Speaker 1: and he's dispatched the Prime Minister to do the persuasion. Um. 1068 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:37,240 Speaker 1: But that's the only immediate concession. Beyond that, there as 1069 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:41,480 Speaker 1: you mentioned, they have a bunch of h demands that 1070 00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:45,400 Speaker 1: are this new mix of I would say, of what 1071 00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:47,600 Speaker 1: used to be called a far right and the far left. 1072 00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:51,920 Speaker 1: Limits on immigration, but also pulling out of native um uh, 1073 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,360 Speaker 1: you know, he pull out of the EU, but also 1074 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,720 Speaker 1: cut taxes but also increased spending. It's a it's a 1075 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:02,000 Speaker 1: mish MANA I'll have to recognize is that the actual 1076 01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:07,320 Speaker 1: movement is this grassroots movement fueled by fueled by fuel issues, 1077 01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:10,480 Speaker 1: let's say, and then all sorts of other groups have 1078 01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:13,400 Speaker 1: attached themselves to it and each are pushing their an agenda. 1079 01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,760 Speaker 1: And it's not even clear what the documents that the 1080 01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,760 Speaker 1: movement puts out even reflects them that the actual people 1081 01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,840 Speaker 1: who are coming out, it's all very confused and very French. 1082 01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:24,840 Speaker 1: I found it. Yeah, I mean, look, but when the 1083 01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:27,360 Speaker 1: French protests they go big, we can say that at least, right, 1084 01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,360 Speaker 1: they don't. They don't when they decide that they're really 1085 01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,000 Speaker 1: going to make some noise in the streets, they're not 1086 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,160 Speaker 1: messing around. And they have based on the polling I've 1087 01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,120 Speaker 1: seen eighty percent support which for a protest movement like this, 1088 01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:41,360 Speaker 1: for the for the general population to overwhelmingly back them up. 1089 01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,200 Speaker 1: Just goes to show that you know that the French 1090 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,760 Speaker 1: government doesn't have that much of a choice at least 1091 01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:50,760 Speaker 1: backing off of, as you said, the tax on gasoline 1092 01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:54,040 Speaker 1: because of climate change. But I thought this was fascinating 1093 01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:57,160 Speaker 1: because it raised the issue of other taxes and and 1094 01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:01,280 Speaker 1: and the demand for less time is on working people 1095 01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,200 Speaker 1: in general. I mean, there are two things that this 1096 01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,960 Speaker 1: brings the mind for me, uh Sarab. One of them 1097 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,400 Speaker 1: is that you saw this initial response from some people 1098 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,440 Speaker 1: on the left that oh gosh, you know that they 1099 01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,760 Speaker 1: can't be for less taxation because that seems that seems 1100 01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,720 Speaker 1: like a conservative American talking point, like there's there's a 1101 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,600 Speaker 1: there's a sense in the American left, in our own 1102 01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:26,040 Speaker 1: commentariat that any any demand for less taxation is inherently 1103 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,880 Speaker 1: a conservative position, even in a place like France that 1104 01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,480 Speaker 1: has a percentage of GDP as a vast tax it 1105 01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,800 Speaker 1: really high levels of taxation. And then and then you know, 1106 01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:36,480 Speaker 1: the other part re thought is inustry is just that 1107 01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,439 Speaker 1: you see that the real money, you know, the French 1108 01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,800 Speaker 1: tried this millionaire's tax, and look the reason this interest Americans, 1109 01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,520 Speaker 1: I think other than just it's a pretty engaging story 1110 01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:47,640 Speaker 1: is that we see your parallels on our own situation, 1111 01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,160 Speaker 1: but the government is basically trying to get away with this. Well, 1112 01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,720 Speaker 1: we'll just have the rich pay taxes until it comes 1113 01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:55,920 Speaker 1: time to actually raise the reven and then you realize 1114 01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:57,960 Speaker 1: the rich don't have enough money to pay for all 1115 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,000 Speaker 1: this stuff. The middle class has to a and they 1116 01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:04,680 Speaker 1: have to pay more than they want to. Yeah. I mean, look, 1117 01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:10,040 Speaker 1: France has had unemployment at about ten percent for as 1118 01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:13,920 Speaker 1: long as anyone can remember, maybe a generation. It has 1119 01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:17,960 Speaker 1: one in four young people are unemployed, which is a 1120 01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:22,200 Speaker 1: catastrophic number in the smartest French people. Often you'll find 1121 01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,240 Speaker 1: working in places like New York and San Francisco and London, 1122 01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:30,320 Speaker 1: and not in France. It has this vast state which 1123 01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:32,800 Speaker 1: takes up I mean, it's, as you mentioned, if the 1124 01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:35,080 Speaker 1: size of the state is and the public debt is 1125 01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:39,200 Speaker 1: larger than the than the DPU, and these are issues 1126 01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:41,960 Speaker 1: that Macron actually wants to fix. Any part of his 1127 01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:45,560 Speaker 1: program is to try to fix that. I think the 1128 01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,280 Speaker 1: mistake that he made was to tack on this sort 1129 01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:53,520 Speaker 1: of green nonsense, kind of alarmism to it with this 1130 01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:57,200 Speaker 1: fuel hike, which wasn't just the fuel hike. I'll tell 1131 01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:59,520 Speaker 1: you a couple of other things that they've reduced. They've 1132 01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:03,960 Speaker 1: reduced speed limit on many roads to like fifty miles 1133 01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 1: an hour. And again for people who need to get 1134 01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:09,919 Speaker 1: places fast, it drives you insane. You can only drive 1135 01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:13,520 Speaker 1: fifty miles an hours. They've passed all these new regulations 1136 01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,760 Speaker 1: that make many of the older cars on the road 1137 01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:20,959 Speaker 1: illegal to drive. And people were hour raised and Macrone said, 1138 01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:23,840 Speaker 1: you know what, I'll give you forty five hundred towards 1139 01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,800 Speaker 1: the pert dollars toward the purchase of a Tesla orn 1140 01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:29,680 Speaker 1: electric car, which is the most kind of Mary Antoinette 1141 01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:33,800 Speaker 1: elitist kind of thing. Let them meet Teslas. So that 1142 01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:35,960 Speaker 1: that was I mean, his mistakes. I think if if 1143 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,080 Speaker 1: he had just stuck to his economic performance, and I 1144 01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,680 Speaker 1: think the most of the country recognizes that its labor 1145 01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:44,320 Speaker 1: rules are too restrictive for employers and discourages hiring and 1146 01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,160 Speaker 1: firing taxes are too high on job creators. I think 1147 01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,120 Speaker 1: people got that public sector unions have too much power. 1148 01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:53,240 Speaker 1: People got that, but it all got muddled up with 1149 01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:55,920 Speaker 1: this stuff, plus a kind of a bunch of crazy 1150 01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:59,320 Speaker 1: immigration stuff that he's he's added on. He's signed up 1151 01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,520 Speaker 1: the country for this global immigration pack which is going 1152 01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 1: to get signed with the United Nations this week in 1153 01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:08,240 Speaker 1: Marrakesh and Morocco, which again many French people find distasteful 1154 01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:10,880 Speaker 1: because they think that they've legitimate. I think I felt 1155 01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,040 Speaker 1: that that there's had there's been too much immigration, the 1156 01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:18,040 Speaker 1: ones we are already here unassimilating. So, you know, Macrone 1157 01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:20,560 Speaker 1: didn't do what he really needs to do is to 1158 01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:23,640 Speaker 1: focus on just fixing the economy by reducing the burden 1159 01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:27,920 Speaker 1: on taxpayers and workers and job creators. Instead, he muddled 1160 01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:31,160 Speaker 1: his message with all this sort of other kind of 1161 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:35,840 Speaker 1: you know, utopian liberal agenda, and it all exploded. Yeah, 1162 01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,000 Speaker 1: that's that is a very accurate description. It has definitely exploded. 1163 01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:42,680 Speaker 1: It has blown up in the French states face. By 1164 01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,120 Speaker 1: the way, I'm just assuming you know about Brexit, because 1165 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:46,640 Speaker 1: you know about all these things. What do you think 1166 01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:49,720 Speaker 1: give give the folks stays some background on what Teresa 1167 01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:53,000 Speaker 1: May they delayed this Brexit vote, but I thought we 1168 01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,720 Speaker 1: already had a vote. That's what Brexit was. What's going 1169 01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:58,320 Speaker 1: on here? Okay, So in two thousand and six, seeing 1170 01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:02,600 Speaker 1: the British people voted to leave the European Union by 1171 01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:06,880 Speaker 1: both wide majority and some of the highest turnouts in 1172 01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:12,400 Speaker 1: British electoral history ever. Um then the question became, okay, 1173 01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,600 Speaker 1: how do you actually divorce Britain from the European Union? 1174 01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:21,040 Speaker 1: And what many Brexit supporters feel is that the Prime 1175 01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:26,120 Speaker 1: Minister May, in her negotiations with the Bliss Brussels, went 1176 01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:31,480 Speaker 1: soft and created this situation which they've gone up this 1177 01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:36,560 Speaker 1: agreement together where Britain would remain subject to many of 1178 01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:41,080 Speaker 1: the European Unions administrative rules and regulations in order to 1179 01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,840 Speaker 1: be able to trade with the EU. So, in other words, 1180 01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,800 Speaker 1: they're getting really none of the benefits of being a 1181 01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:49,360 Speaker 1: truly independent sovereign nation, which is what the heart of 1182 01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:54,720 Speaker 1: the demand was, but they're not. They're also not getting 1183 01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:57,800 Speaker 1: the kind regulatory freedom that they wanted. So it's just 1184 01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,439 Speaker 1: sort of been like what happens to Brexit And that's 1185 01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,800 Speaker 1: really what's happening right now is is to what extent 1186 01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:09,160 Speaker 1: can the people through Parliament get to an agreement that 1187 01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:12,600 Speaker 1: actually reflects a real Brexit and not a kind of 1188 01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:16,920 Speaker 1: soft situation in which they're they're not only getting the rules, 1189 01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:18,880 Speaker 1: but now they're not even at the table to help 1190 01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,000 Speaker 1: shape the rules at least Back in the day, they 1191 01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,680 Speaker 1: Britain was at the table at the European Union, so 1192 01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:28,560 Speaker 1: they could have a say on its bureaucratic overreach. Now 1193 01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:30,560 Speaker 1: they're out of it. They're still subject to rule and 1194 01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:32,640 Speaker 1: they don't have a say at the at the table 1195 01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,360 Speaker 1: the councils of Europe. So that's the real heart of 1196 01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:39,000 Speaker 1: the matter is can Prime Minister may kind of find 1197 01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:43,919 Speaker 1: her spine to negotiate a tougher deal with Brussels that 1198 01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:47,040 Speaker 1: really gives voice to the vote that was taken in 1199 01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:49,480 Speaker 1: two thousands weifteen. I had my doubts about various aspects 1200 01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:52,520 Speaker 1: of Brexit, but as a small d Democrat, the people 1201 01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,800 Speaker 1: deserve to get the thing that they voted for, which 1202 01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,840 Speaker 1: is a real Brexit. Yeah, I mean, it's it's pretty 1203 01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:02,240 Speaker 1: remarkable that they could have a plebiscite, right, that they 1204 01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:05,000 Speaker 1: could have the people decide, and then once the people 1205 01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:09,200 Speaker 1: have decided, now the establishment politicians are like, well, we're 1206 01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:11,439 Speaker 1: not sure they really get what they know, they don't 1207 01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:13,959 Speaker 1: get what they want. That's not how this goes, which 1208 01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:15,800 Speaker 1: is a pretty bad precedent. I mean, I've got to 1209 01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:18,360 Speaker 1: say I think that that's it ties into a lot 1210 01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:21,280 Speaker 1: of the general feelings right now about the elites and 1211 01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,400 Speaker 1: the establishment in the UK and in this country too. 1212 01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:27,840 Speaker 1: And just to that end, I mean the market this morning, 1213 01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:30,280 Speaker 1: I mean how this affects us. Do you think that 1214 01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:32,640 Speaker 1: this really uh, this this rattled things? I mean I 1215 01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,360 Speaker 1: know that it recovered, but people were telling me all 1216 01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,480 Speaker 1: the Brexit Brexit fears why the market had to dive 1217 01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:42,320 Speaker 1: this morning. Markets respond to a variety of things, and 1218 01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:44,560 Speaker 1: so I wouldn't just put it down to one, but 1219 01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:47,000 Speaker 1: it's certainly one of them. Is this sort of is 1220 01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:50,720 Speaker 1: lack of clarity is very makes everyone nervous, and that's 1221 01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:55,640 Speaker 1: one problem. And to your point about the way European 1222 01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,840 Speaker 1: elites work, it's exactly right, they sort of when they 1223 01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:02,320 Speaker 1: will say we will hold as many votes it takes 1224 01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,840 Speaker 1: to reach the right outcome by the right. Yeah, it's 1225 01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:12,200 Speaker 1: it's populism without the populie. It's populism without actually letting people. Yeah, exactly, 1226 01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:15,240 Speaker 1: exactly all right, Well, Sarabamara. Everybody check out his work 1227 01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:17,760 Speaker 1: at The New York Post and I also follow him 1228 01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:21,439 Speaker 1: on Twitter. So Rob always appreciate you making the times. 1229 01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:26,200 Speaker 1: Thank you, Tabe. We'll be right back. So basically, when 1230 01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:28,600 Speaker 1: you think about how we're actually going to succeed and 1231 01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,879 Speaker 1: actually kick their ass. It's going to be based on justice, 1232 01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:39,040 Speaker 1: environmental justice, economic justice, and all right, that's right, yeah, yeah, 1233 01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:41,880 Speaker 1: And so when we look about what's going to happen 1234 01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:45,320 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, we are going to have to crust 1235 01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:48,280 Speaker 1: these people. Honestly, I think the whole idea that they're 1236 01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:51,440 Speaker 1: going to compromise, they're going to come to their senses. 1237 01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:55,800 Speaker 1: They don't really understand what's gonna They absolutely understand what's 1238 01:08:55,320 --> 01:09:01,759 Speaker 1: going they're looking at their interest. They're not fooled. They're 1239 01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,679 Speaker 1: doing something that they believe is really good for them, 1240 01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:08,600 Speaker 1: and to hell with everybody else. We're in a situation 1241 01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:12,160 Speaker 1: that is dire and the ability to be polite to 1242 01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:15,320 Speaker 1: people who are going to put everyone in this room, 1243 01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:18,200 Speaker 1: and for the parents, every one of your kids at risk, 1244 01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:21,679 Speaker 1: and for the grandparents, every one of your grandchildren at 1245 01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:25,840 Speaker 1: dire risk, I think the time for politeness is over. 1246 01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:30,040 Speaker 1: So I've got good news and bad news for you folks. 1247 01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,400 Speaker 1: The good news is that, as you can tell they're 1248 01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:36,720 Speaker 1: from Tom sty or ranting about climate change, you can 1249 01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:40,120 Speaker 1: be a complete moron in this country and become a billionaire. 1250 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:44,760 Speaker 1: So you know, that's we got that going for us, 1251 01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:49,160 Speaker 1: which is nice. Even somebody who is delusional can become 1252 01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:52,760 Speaker 1: a billionaire. The bad news is that Tom Steyer is 1253 01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:56,519 Speaker 1: a billionaire and he's nuts. And as you can tell 1254 01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:58,759 Speaker 1: from the way he's talking about the issue climate change. 1255 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:04,479 Speaker 1: There they are really emboldened right now on the left 1256 01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:08,200 Speaker 1: because of this well one, I mean, they're they're tying 1257 01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:11,040 Speaker 1: to California wildfires as the California wildfires have nothing to 1258 01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:14,439 Speaker 1: do with climate change, okay, meaning that you know, this 1259 01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:18,080 Speaker 1: is like the butterfly flapping the wings in New York, 1260 01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:23,000 Speaker 1: get a storm in Shanghai. Theory of the climate. It's 1261 01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:25,559 Speaker 1: just these things are so far removed from each other. 1262 01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,919 Speaker 1: The notion that they'd be able to draw a causal 1263 01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:34,840 Speaker 1: link between CO two the atmosphere and one period of 1264 01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:38,439 Speaker 1: forest fires in one tiny part of the world, right 1265 01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:39,600 Speaker 1: we think of it, Oh my gosh, it was a 1266 01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:42,240 Speaker 1: terrible fire. I know, but we're talking about just one 1267 01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:45,280 Speaker 1: little area of California, which is one state in the US, 1268 01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,960 Speaker 1: which is one country. I mean, you start breaking this down, 1269 01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:52,240 Speaker 1: think of what a microcosm they are using to make 1270 01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:57,360 Speaker 1: judgments about the macro. And yet that's what he that's 1271 01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:01,599 Speaker 1: what they're doing. And this is now the beginning of 1272 01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:04,000 Speaker 1: what you're gonna hear a lot more of. And I'm 1273 01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:05,599 Speaker 1: gonna have to break it down for you on this show, 1274 01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,439 Speaker 1: and I ain't gonna do it in detail today, But 1275 01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:12,639 Speaker 1: this is a thing now, this is the Democrat base. 1276 01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:14,200 Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's gonna be a big thing in 1277 01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:17,240 Speaker 1: the general because it's such a dumb idea, but in 1278 01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:19,800 Speaker 1: the primary for the Democrats, they're gonna be running on this, 1279 01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,360 Speaker 1: and you're gonna hear a lot of a lot of 1280 01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:24,920 Speaker 1: malarkey from the Congress about it, and they're calling it 1281 01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:30,240 Speaker 1: the Green New Deal, and those you were saying, what 1282 01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:33,599 Speaker 1: the heck is that? That's a very valid question because 1283 01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:36,840 Speaker 1: I don't even think that people who are pushing for 1284 01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:40,280 Speaker 1: this know what this so called Green New Deal is 1285 01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:44,280 Speaker 1: supposed to be. I don't think they're really aware of 1286 01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:48,960 Speaker 1: what the Green New Deal would involve. It just sounds 1287 01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,920 Speaker 1: good as an aside. I know this is a little 1288 01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:53,559 Speaker 1: bit of a this is a little bit of a 1289 01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:57,200 Speaker 1: soliloquy within the broader monologue here, but notice how FDR 1290 01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:02,240 Speaker 1: who it's going to court pack who put Japanese Americans 1291 01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:05,360 Speaker 1: in internment camps. You know, FDR who has so much 1292 01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:08,639 Speaker 1: in his background in his history that you think, by 1293 01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:14,320 Speaker 1: our contemporary standards would be just just unpalatable the left, 1294 01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:17,880 Speaker 1: he escapes, He escapes the criticism of the social justice warriors, 1295 01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:25,400 Speaker 1: He escapes the kind of of you know, pillarying is 1296 01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:28,519 Speaker 1: that is that's a word that the left heaps on 1297 01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:32,040 Speaker 1: everybody else based on contemporary standards. Anyway, the Green New 1298 01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:35,720 Speaker 1: Deal is supposed to be huge investment in jobs and 1299 01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:43,120 Speaker 1: you know, jobs and infrastructure for renewable, renewable energy, which 1300 01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:51,200 Speaker 1: just means taxpayers subsidizing wildly expensive and inefficient energy programs. 1301 01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:54,200 Speaker 1: What it really means is that it's like Cylindra on steroids. 1302 01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:56,680 Speaker 1: That's what the Green New Deal is going to be. 1303 01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:02,080 Speaker 1: If these technologies were efficient enough, if they were productive enough, 1304 01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:04,240 Speaker 1: guess what the private sector would be all about them. 1305 01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:07,840 Speaker 1: But you see this, the the green energy sector, it 1306 01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:11,599 Speaker 1: is growing. I'm not I'm not, you know, ignorant of this. Yeah, 1307 01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,439 Speaker 1: solar is getting more efficient, solar is getting to these 1308 01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:17,639 Speaker 1: things are but it's slow, it's happening, but it's happening slowly. 1309 01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:22,120 Speaker 1: They're arguing for a great leap forward, if you will, 1310 01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:25,280 Speaker 1: on green energy, And yes, I'm making the historical illusion. 1311 01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:28,479 Speaker 1: They're on purpose. They're arguing for a great leap forward 1312 01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:33,479 Speaker 1: without recognizing that these you know that these massive government 1313 01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:38,960 Speaker 1: programs and in catastrophe that when the government involved itself 1314 01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:42,280 Speaker 1: in the economy this way, and it's not done by 1315 01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:47,240 Speaker 1: stakeholders and innovators and entrepreneurs, but by government fiat. It's 1316 01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:49,120 Speaker 1: a disaster. And that's why I can tell you and 1317 01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:51,720 Speaker 1: we'll get more into this another time. The Green New 1318 01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:56,760 Speaker 1: Deal is a disaster, but Democrats are embracing it. Oh 1319 01:13:56,840 --> 01:14:01,760 Speaker 1: that's right. Twitter is now banning conspiracy online. Well, what's 1320 01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:04,679 Speaker 1: a conspiracy? You know what really goes on with conspira? 1321 01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:06,919 Speaker 1: Oh out, it's whatever the left says it is.

Can the government take your 1338 01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:08,840 Speaker 1: home for unpaid taxes? Yeah, the government can. But can 1339 01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:13,920 Speaker 1: the government take your home for eight that's right, eight 1340 01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:19,120 Speaker 1: dollars in unpaid taxes? Well, if you live in certain states, 1341 01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:23,360 Speaker 1: the answer is yes. You really need to hear about 1342 01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:26,759 Speaker 1: this one story by Christina Martin the Wall Street Journal. 1343 01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,879 Speaker 1: For eight dollars and forty one cents and unpaid taxes, 1344 01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:34,880 Speaker 1: the government took Uri Rafaeli's house. This was in Michigan, 1345 01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:40,200 Speaker 1: and anyone want to guess what tool of the prosecutors 1346 01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:43,040 Speaker 1: and tool of the state was used here to seize 1347 01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:48,679 Speaker 1: a home for eight dollars and unpaid taxes. That's right, 1348 01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:54,400 Speaker 1: civil asset forfeiture. Let me give you the details of 1349 01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:57,120 Speaker 1: this and then we can jump into more of what 1350 01:15:57,200 --> 01:16:02,360 Speaker 1: the heck is going on here. Uri Rafaeli is an 1351 01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:05,800 Speaker 1: eighty three year old engineer and great grandfather. He never 1352 01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:08,800 Speaker 1: expected the government treat him like a drug dealer or gangbanger, 1353 01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:12,040 Speaker 1: but last year, the Michigan Court of Appeals held that 1354 01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:15,960 Speaker 1: a county government could use civil asset forfeiture, the same 1355 01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:19,799 Speaker 1: legal process used by police to confiscate drug lord's mansions, 1356 01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:24,839 Speaker 1: to seize a modest rental property mister Rafaeli owned because 1357 01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:31,679 Speaker 1: he accidentally underpaid his property taxes by a whopping eight 1358 01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:36,280 Speaker 1: dollars and forty one cents. Mister Rafaeli bought the house 1359 01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:40,280 Speaker 1: through his business for sixty thousand dollars in twenty eleven. 1360 01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:45,000 Speaker 1: Later that year, he inadvertently underpaid his property taxes by 1361 01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:48,080 Speaker 1: four hundred and ninety six dollars. When he learned of 1362 01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:51,040 Speaker 1: his mistake, mister Raffaeli attempted to pay the debt in full, 1363 01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:54,240 Speaker 1: but failed to account for the interest that he had 1364 01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:57,559 Speaker 1: accumulated since he received the bill. He came up eight 1365 01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:02,439 Speaker 1: dollars and forty one cents or Unaware of his arab 1366 01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:04,559 Speaker 1: mister Raffaeli went on to pay his taxes in a 1367 01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:09,320 Speaker 1: timely manner in subsequent years, but Oakland County in twenty 1368 01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:13,320 Speaker 1: fourteen four closed on the property to collect the tiny debt, 1369 01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:16,799 Speaker 1: along with two hundred and seventy seven dollars and penalties, interests, 1370 01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:21,360 Speaker 1: and fees. Six months later, the county sold the property 1371 01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:24,520 Speaker 1: for twenty four thousand dollars five hundred auction and refused 1372 01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:29,519 Speaker 1: to refund mister Raffaeli any of the profits end quote. 1373 01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:32,640 Speaker 1: I mean this office Walsh journal piece. Folks, Let's just 1374 01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:37,439 Speaker 1: take a moment here, shall we. This is crazy. The 1375 01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:42,639 Speaker 1: state can seize your house for an eight dollar under payment. 1376 01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:45,920 Speaker 1: How about a phone call from one of the countless, 1377 01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:52,360 Speaker 1: very hard working I know, state bureaucrats saying, hey, can 1378 01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:54,160 Speaker 1: you send us a check for eight dollars? Even better, 1379 01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:56,840 Speaker 1: can you just sign on to this, you know, Michigan 1380 01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,760 Speaker 1: dot gov portal and you can just pay with a 1381 01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:02,000 Speaker 1: credit card. Here. Eight bucks. That's all they need. Eight bucks, 1382 01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:06,679 Speaker 1: thank you? How about that? No, instead, they use civil 1383 01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:10,720 Speaker 1: asset forfeiture to take his home, which is worth you know, 1384 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:12,800 Speaker 1: let's call it sixty maybe a little more than sixty 1385 01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,960 Speaker 1: thousand dollars, probably appreciated a little bit since he bought it, 1386 01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:20,639 Speaker 1: but sixty thousand dollars home and sell it for twenty 1387 01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:26,240 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars. What is this? Who thinks this is okay? 1388 01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:29,720 Speaker 1: This is America, this is today, This is happening. I 1389 01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:32,280 Speaker 1: know we're all supposed to care so much about Trump's taxes, 1390 01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:35,760 Speaker 1: but why don't we care more about how the relationship 1391 01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:41,519 Speaker 1: between citizen and government is tilted so far in favor 1392 01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:45,320 Speaker 1: of the government on matters of taxation, matters of criminal justice. 1393 01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:49,800 Speaker 1: I mean, this is getting out of hand. Let me 1394 01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:52,719 Speaker 1: go back to Walter journal piece because the details are important. 1395 01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:57,479 Speaker 1: Quote cash strap. Local governments in Michigan rely on profits 1396 01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:01,240 Speaker 1: from the sale of tax foreclosed property. According to the 1397 01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:06,120 Speaker 1: Detroit News, Oakland County ranked in twenty two point five 1398 01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:11,240 Speaker 1: million dollars by auctioning and off tax foreclosures from twenty 1399 01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:15,160 Speaker 1: two thousand and six to twenty fifteen. County officials use 1400 01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:19,000 Speaker 1: these funds to pay for tax collection expenses and maintain 1401 01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:22,360 Speaker 1: properties worth less than their tax debts, but whatever is 1402 01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:27,360 Speaker 1: left over gets swept into the general fund. Besides the 1403 01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:31,840 Speaker 1: obvious injustice of such a naked governmental money grab, these 1404 01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:35,840 Speaker 1: types of civil asset forfeitures threatened Americans constituency protected rights 1405 01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:40,400 Speaker 1: end quote. I mean, this is this is so egregious 1406 01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:43,080 Speaker 1: that this could even happen. I mean, you have to 1407 01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:45,160 Speaker 1: read this kind of a piece to believe that this 1408 01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:49,599 Speaker 1: could happen. You have to read this to think that 1409 01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:51,560 Speaker 1: this could be going on in America. I mean, the 1410 01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:55,840 Speaker 1: Fifth Amendment says they cannot take private property without just compensation. 1411 01:19:56,000 --> 01:20:00,799 Speaker 1: This is not just compensation, and this is not due process. 1412 01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:04,080 Speaker 1: This is just up you owe us. We're just gonna 1413 01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:06,639 Speaker 1: take your stuff because we can because there's a legal 1414 01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:09,320 Speaker 1: loophole that lets us. And you might say, buckwell, why 1415 01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:11,080 Speaker 1: would they do this, Well, we know why they do 1416 01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:16,160 Speaker 1: this because the government, like Skynet from the Terminator movies, 1417 01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:21,120 Speaker 1: is self aware. The government, whether state or federal, is 1418 01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:27,639 Speaker 1: increasingly a self interested and self perpetuating organism. People who 1419 01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:30,280 Speaker 1: work for the government don't necessarily view it this way, 1420 01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:33,519 Speaker 1: but there is a hive mind effect. And I saw 1421 01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:36,800 Speaker 1: it when I was the CIA, where the institution, the agency, 1422 01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:40,400 Speaker 1: the bureau, the whatever it is, whatever government entity you 1423 01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:44,200 Speaker 1: work for, has to stay fully funded at all times, 1424 01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:47,720 Speaker 1: has to get staffed up. You know, even more every year, 1425 01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:51,799 Speaker 1: whatever the projections are going to hit, those projections no cutbacks, 1426 01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:56,960 Speaker 1: no pay decreases, pay increases, no changes in budget, only 1427 01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:01,720 Speaker 1: one direction up. And this is very common in a 1428 01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:04,040 Speaker 1: lot of these. And then there's really a feeling of 1429 01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:06,320 Speaker 1: self righteousness that takes hold of a lot of these 1430 01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:09,880 Speaker 1: government folks that you know, they're owed this by the 1431 01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:13,240 Speaker 1: tax better their their mission is so important, and I mean, 1432 01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:15,120 Speaker 1: I just don't know how anyone could sleep at night 1433 01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:20,040 Speaker 1: who is part of a government, government program that takes 1434 01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:22,600 Speaker 1: by the way, no one thinks that this individual, No 1435 01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:27,200 Speaker 1: one thinks that our Rafaelli in Michigan as a criminal 1436 01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:30,479 Speaker 1: or a bad guy he owes eight dollars. I mean, 1437 01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:33,639 Speaker 1: I probably still owe Blockbuster eight dollars from the nineties, 1438 01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:36,200 Speaker 1: probably still going to come after me at some point 1439 01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:39,080 Speaker 1: for it too. This is not the this is not 1440 01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:41,040 Speaker 1: the only case like this. There's a lot of civil 1441 01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:45,920 Speaker 1: asset forfeit your cases, and you know it's just out 1442 01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:48,200 Speaker 1: of control. I mean, you know, for example, here's another one. 1443 01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:52,519 Speaker 1: The elderly, sicker, economically distressed are most at risk of 1444 01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:57,479 Speaker 1: losing property over taxes. Henderson Hodgens lost his childhood at 1445 01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:01,679 Speaker 1: home and farm in town Ship, Michigan in twenty fourteen 1446 01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:05,599 Speaker 1: when hospitalization left him unexpectfully unable to pay his fifty 1447 01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:09,400 Speaker 1: nine hundred dollar debt. Another guy, Benjamin Coleman, who suffers 1448 01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:12,040 Speaker 1: from dementia, lost his Washington, DC home, but he forgot 1449 01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:15,360 Speaker 1: to pay a one hundred and thirty four dollars tax bill. 1450 01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:18,959 Speaker 1: Public outrage over his story prompted the District of Columbia 1451 01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:21,920 Speaker 1: to change a confiscatory law to protect property rights. I 1452 01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:25,200 Speaker 1: mean seizing property because somebody owes like fifty bucks, you 1453 01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:29,400 Speaker 1: gonna take their home because they owe five bucks? Is 1454 01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:33,920 Speaker 1: this is unjust? This is unfair, and that this can 1455 01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:37,200 Speaker 1: happen in many states, not just Michigan. It happened. It's 1456 01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:42,280 Speaker 1: it's true. It's true in Vermont, it's true, in New Hampshire. 1457 01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:44,599 Speaker 1: It's true in Michigan. It's true at a whole bunch 1458 01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:51,640 Speaker 1: of places, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oregon, Massachusetts, whole bunch of 1459 01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:55,560 Speaker 1: states have this. We gotta keep an eye on this. 1460 01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:58,880 Speaker 1: There's stories that matter, folks, outside of the constant battle 1461 01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:01,719 Speaker 1: over the trumpethon. There's other stuff here, and we'll continue 1462 01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:05,560 Speaker 1: and follow them here in the Freedom Hunt.

All right, 1483 01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:05,839 Speaker 1: my GVN dot com Again, that's my GVN dot com. 1484 01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:10,320 Speaker 1: So I just love this story. I think this is 1485 01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:15,599 Speaker 1: a fantastic story because it really is a little window 1486 01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:24,200 Speaker 1: into how things work in these big Democrat machines of 1487 01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:29,680 Speaker 1: politics that you see in places like Chicago and you know, 1488 01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:35,800 Speaker 1: major cities Baltimore, New York, Miami, Los Angeles. There's there's differences, 1489 01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:40,479 Speaker 1: but there's some baseline similarities at all these places, and 1490 01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:44,320 Speaker 1: that is that this idea that Democrats haven't run around 1491 01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:47,720 Speaker 1: with for a long time, that everyone just wants voter 1492 01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:50,640 Speaker 1: turnout man, and they just don't want voter suppression. And 1493 01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:53,320 Speaker 1: there's no such thing as voter fraud. No, there is 1494 01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:57,360 Speaker 1: voter fraud. There absolutely is voter fraud, and in fact, 1495 01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:01,000 Speaker 1: we are currently finding out we should know more later 1496 01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:06,080 Speaker 1: this week whether this election in North Carolina was marred 1497 01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:08,320 Speaker 1: by fraud. They might needed to they might not be 1498 01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:12,439 Speaker 1: able to seat the Republican who won, and they might 1499 01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:15,639 Speaker 1: have to have an entirely new primary and general election. 1500 01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:19,080 Speaker 1: That would be the process for that congressional seat in 1501 01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:21,920 Speaker 1: North Carolina. This is a straight up do over, and 1502 01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:25,160 Speaker 1: it's looking likely that that is the case. There's this 1503 01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:30,000 Speaker 1: guy who is a kind of political fixer in North Carolina, 1504 01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:33,120 Speaker 1: and he's at the heart of this idea or this 1505 01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:38,799 Speaker 1: allegation that people were picking up absentee ballots, which is illegal, 1506 01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:42,360 Speaker 1: accepted a very specifically defined circumstances. In North Carolina, they 1507 01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:46,439 Speaker 1: were essentially illegally harvesting ballots. It might have been more 1508 01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:48,960 Speaker 1: widespread than was even thought. So North Carolina may have 1509 01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:52,080 Speaker 1: to have a whole new election because of fraud for 1510 01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:55,200 Speaker 1: a congressional seat. Now this story in Chicago, this is 1511 01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:59,679 Speaker 1: not going to get nearly nearly as much attention because 1512 01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:06,760 Speaker 1: it really only plausibly involves malfeasance by Democrats. Right, the 1513 01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:10,120 Speaker 1: chicanery's on one side of things here, it's the Democrat side, 1514 01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,400 Speaker 1: and so it won't get nearly nearly the same degree 1515 01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:16,800 Speaker 1: of media interest that for example, North Carolina, where a 1516 01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:21,400 Speaker 1: Republican one has been getting. But this is about a 1517 01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:27,960 Speaker 1: college kid named David Kruppa who's nineteen years old, who 1518 01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:34,080 Speaker 1: decided to run for thirteenth Ward. Alderman. So the thirteenth Ward, 1519 01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:36,479 Speaker 1: I don't really know Chicago politics well, so part of me, 1520 01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:37,920 Speaker 1: some of you probably know it better than I. But 1521 01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:43,840 Speaker 1: the thirteenth Ward is, you know, in Chicago, and it's 1522 01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:48,000 Speaker 1: it's covered by the Chicago political machine. Some refer to 1523 01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:52,040 Speaker 1: it as the daily machine. And this is an example 1524 01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:53,920 Speaker 1: of a guy who, look, he's a young guy. I 1525 01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:56,519 Speaker 1: think we're gonna actually have him on Rising tomorrow as 1526 01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:59,240 Speaker 1: a guest. I think that's what we've got scheduled, so 1527 01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:01,960 Speaker 1: we'll be able to talk about it. But he's just 1528 01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:05,280 Speaker 1: a young man who wants to get A young man 1529 01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:09,800 Speaker 1: sounds like I'm some you know, some guy who's been 1530 01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:12,960 Speaker 1: around for a century. But he wanted to get involved 1531 01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,519 Speaker 1: in politics. So he figured out that all you need 1532 01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:17,960 Speaker 1: to do is get a certain number of signatures and 1533 01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:21,960 Speaker 1: you can get yourself on the ballot. But in the 1534 01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:26,120 Speaker 1: Chicago realm, that a In this case, a Republican named 1535 01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:29,120 Speaker 1: David Cruppo is a freshman at De Paul University. He 1536 01:27:29,280 --> 01:27:34,479 Speaker 1: drives a forklift part time, and he's a conservative guy 1537 01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:37,280 Speaker 1: who studies political science. He wanted to throw his hat 1538 01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:40,360 Speaker 1: in the ring and get involved in local politics, and 1539 01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:44,360 Speaker 1: so the thirteenth Ward, which is run by House Speaker 1540 01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:49,080 Speaker 1: Michael Madigan, who is apparently known as Boss Madigan in 1541 01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:53,320 Speaker 1: Chicago and is referred to in the Chicago Tribune as 1542 01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:58,679 Speaker 1: the most powerful politician in the state. So this guy 1543 01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:04,120 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily real but he decided to walk into El 1544 01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:09,320 Speaker 1: Padrone's backyard here. And the current alderman of the thirteenth 1545 01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:11,920 Speaker 1: Ward is this guy Marty Quinn. But you know, Marty 1546 01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:13,680 Speaker 1: Quinn is no one, no one that you've ever heard 1547 01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:17,639 Speaker 1: of unless you live in Chicago. But the daily machine 1548 01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:20,559 Speaker 1: in Chicago you certainly are familiar with. Remember it's what 1549 01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:23,599 Speaker 1: It's where Obama built his political career. I mean, there's 1550 01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:29,320 Speaker 1: there's very powerful Democrat roots here in Chicago, and it 1551 01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:31,679 Speaker 1: really runs the whole it really runs the whole state. 1552 01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:34,160 Speaker 1: You know. I was out in Springfield, Illinois recently, and 1553 01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:37,080 Speaker 1: they were telling me that the Democrats that are out 1554 01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:39,960 Speaker 1: in Chicago are the ones that really call the shots 1555 01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:42,640 Speaker 1: for everybody else. Even though technically the city government is 1556 01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:45,839 Speaker 1: in Springfield, it's the capitol, I'm sorry, the state government 1557 01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:50,800 Speaker 1: is in Springfield. So this guy Kruppa gets on the 1558 01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:56,280 Speaker 1: ballot and he gets four He needed four hundred and 1559 01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:59,320 Speaker 1: seventy three valid signatures of people who live in the 1560 01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:02,799 Speaker 1: thirteenth Ward to get on the ballot. With the Chicago 1561 01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:07,840 Speaker 1: Board of Elections. Kruppa, only nineteen years old, managed a 1562 01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:15,120 Speaker 1: robust seventeen hundred and three signatures. But this is where 1563 01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:19,400 Speaker 1: the story gets amazing. My friends, before he could even 1564 01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:24,320 Speaker 1: file his signatures with the Elections Board, a group of 1565 01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:28,960 Speaker 1: political workers, all right, a bunch of political activists at 1566 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:34,439 Speaker 1: the behest of the Chicago Daily machine went door to 1567 01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:39,760 Speaker 1: door with official legal papers. And what did they do. 1568 01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:44,959 Speaker 1: They asked people to remove this young man by signing 1569 01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:51,040 Speaker 1: an affidavit of revocation of their signature. That's right. They 1570 01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:55,920 Speaker 1: moved so quickly to squash this guy that they that 1571 01:29:56,040 --> 01:30:00,320 Speaker 1: they managed to get all of his signatures revoked before 1572 01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:04,600 Speaker 1: he could even turn in the signatures that he had gathers. 1573 01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:09,280 Speaker 1: Think about that for a moment. I don't think anybody 1574 01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:12,280 Speaker 1: really thinks that he's a real challenge in the thirteenth War. 1575 01:30:12,320 --> 01:30:14,120 Speaker 1: But they don't even want to. You know, they don't know. 1576 01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:16,400 Speaker 1: They don't want to. They don't want to play any games. 1577 01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:20,639 Speaker 1: The thing about these revocations is that they are legally 1578 01:30:20,720 --> 01:30:27,160 Speaker 1: binding documents. They are notarized and signed, so that means 1579 01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:30,240 Speaker 1: that lying on these documents is in fact perjury. And 1580 01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:34,960 Speaker 1: you can even have felony charges for this. And if 1581 01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:39,000 Speaker 1: you have a felony charge, you can't work for the government. 1582 01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:42,680 Speaker 1: So these are people working on at behest of the 1583 01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:46,360 Speaker 1: government who may have you think colored a little bit 1584 01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:51,520 Speaker 1: outside the lines here? But then things get really interesting. 1585 01:30:51,680 --> 01:30:54,559 Speaker 1: Who wants to guess this young man wants to run 1586 01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:59,479 Speaker 1: in Chicago seventeen hundred and three signatures that he's turning in. 1587 01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:04,280 Speaker 1: But how many revocations of signatures meaning people who say 1588 01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:07,920 Speaker 1: I pull away the signature that I already signed. How 1589 01:31:07,920 --> 01:31:12,760 Speaker 1: many revocations did the Chicago machine, the Democrat machine churn 1590 01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:19,479 Speaker 1: out two thousand and seven hundred and ninety six. So 1591 01:31:20,160 --> 01:31:23,559 Speaker 1: someone's going to need to explain how it's possible that 1592 01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:28,679 Speaker 1: they found an extra thousand people who claim that their 1593 01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:33,680 Speaker 1: signatures had to be revoked when these political activists went 1594 01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:37,879 Speaker 1: door to door. How is that a mistake that anybody 1595 01:31:37,880 --> 01:31:43,200 Speaker 1: could reasonably make? And oh, when they did a document 1596 01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:48,000 Speaker 1: match of the seventeen hundred and three people who signed 1597 01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:51,840 Speaker 1: to get young mister Kruppa on the ballot, only one 1598 01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:57,040 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty seven of them of the revocations rather 1599 01:31:57,600 --> 01:32:01,479 Speaker 1: matched the original petitions. So what do they do in 1600 01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:05,160 Speaker 1: Chicago to block this kid from getting on the ballot 1601 01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:08,200 Speaker 1: of a ward in the city of Chicago That this 1602 01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:11,720 Speaker 1: kid has no prayer of winning, I would assume, but 1603 01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:18,120 Speaker 1: who knows, But realistically no chance they got more and 1604 01:32:18,200 --> 01:32:21,599 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, almost almost double. I mean they 1605 01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:24,800 Speaker 1: overshot he only got seventeen hundred, and they overshot that 1606 01:32:24,840 --> 01:32:29,360 Speaker 1: by a thousand. So you know, it's like a sixty 1607 01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:34,720 Speaker 1: percent call it a sixty percent increase in revoked signatures, 1608 01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:41,759 Speaker 1: which means guess what, people lied? People broke the law. 1609 01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:47,000 Speaker 1: They're turning this over to Cook County States Attorney Kim Fox. 1610 01:32:48,320 --> 01:32:52,840 Speaker 1: But who wants to guess what political party Fox belongs to? Oh, 1611 01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:58,400 Speaker 1: that's right, she's a Democrat. Now you have signatures, these 1612 01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:02,280 Speaker 1: are tied to individuals, You have people handing in those signatures. 1613 01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:05,640 Speaker 1: You have a paper trail here, and you have a 1614 01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:10,879 Speaker 1: pretty much open and shut case of felony election fraud 1615 01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:16,040 Speaker 1: occurring in Chicago city limits for the thirteenth ward. Also, 1616 01:33:16,120 --> 01:33:19,760 Speaker 1: they could stop a young Conservative from even appearing on 1617 01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:23,200 Speaker 1: the ballot. Does anyone think they are going to be 1618 01:33:23,240 --> 01:33:28,320 Speaker 1: criminal charges from this? Does anybody think that the Chicago 1619 01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:31,880 Speaker 1: machine doesn't extend into the prosecutor's offices here? This is 1620 01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:36,439 Speaker 1: the thing about corruption. Once you really understand its nature, 1621 01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:42,280 Speaker 1: you understand its extent, you understand that there's no check 1622 01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:47,280 Speaker 1: on this. Really, there's no there's no good faith actors 1623 01:33:47,320 --> 01:33:49,880 Speaker 1: in place, who are going to take this on in Chicago. 1624 01:33:50,280 --> 01:33:54,080 Speaker 1: It's too entrenched. It's two Democrats, too left wing, too corrupt. 1625 01:33:55,600 --> 01:33:58,360 Speaker 1: What an incredible story. You get seventeen hundred people you 1626 01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:00,439 Speaker 1: think you're gonna start your political career by getting on 1627 01:34:00,479 --> 01:34:03,439 Speaker 1: the ballot, and they get twenty seven hundred to say, yeah, 1628 01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:06,680 Speaker 1: I'm pulling away my signature. And only one hundred and 1629 01:34:06,720 --> 01:34:08,800 Speaker 1: eighty seven of the twenty seven hundred even gave their 1630 01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:12,439 Speaker 1: signature in the first place. A lot of fraud, folks. 1631 01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:18,919 Speaker 1: No one's going to go to prison because Democrats Stemming. 1632 01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:21,920 Speaker 1: It's six foot two and weighing it at two hundred 1633 01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:28,160 Speaker 1: and twenty pounds. Male to female transgender handballer Hannah Mounsie 1634 01:34:29,320 --> 01:34:35,679 Speaker 1: is dominating at the Women's Asian Championships in Japan. Before 1635 01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:40,920 Speaker 1: his transition in May twenty sixteen, Mousey played for the 1636 01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:46,639 Speaker 1: Australian men's handball team. This is from a daily wire. 1637 01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:51,720 Speaker 1: You know, if I had said five years ago, okay, 1638 01:34:51,760 --> 01:34:55,880 Speaker 1: that you would have a situation now where libs would 1639 01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:59,160 Speaker 1: be telling all the rest of us not only should 1640 01:35:00,040 --> 01:35:04,040 Speaker 1: males be able to play female sports, but they should 1641 01:35:04,040 --> 01:35:07,479 Speaker 1: be able to play against women. But we should pretend 1642 01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:10,680 Speaker 1: that they are women playing against women. They would have 1643 01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:15,559 Speaker 1: said that that was crazy, that that's fear mongering. And 1644 01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:19,600 Speaker 1: I mean five years ago when I started in media, 1645 01:35:19,760 --> 01:35:22,040 Speaker 1: I remember some of the examples when we would talk 1646 01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:25,639 Speaker 1: about transgenderism and what's going to happen here? We would say, well, 1647 01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:28,600 Speaker 1: what about men and women's prisons and those separations? What 1648 01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:32,200 Speaker 1: about men and women's sports? Essentially? What about those places, 1649 01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:37,639 Speaker 1: those areas of life where a biology is in fact 1650 01:35:38,439 --> 01:35:42,880 Speaker 1: the determining factor? Right, have said that so many times? 1651 01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:44,680 Speaker 1: How many of you who are men listening to this? 1652 01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:47,080 Speaker 1: No exactly what I'm talking about, all of you and 1653 01:35:47,160 --> 01:35:50,840 Speaker 1: the ladies know it too. If you were to pick 1654 01:35:50,920 --> 01:35:55,120 Speaker 1: your average two hundred pound, able bodied, twenty five year 1655 01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:58,040 Speaker 1: old male off the street and told him that in 1656 01:35:58,080 --> 01:36:00,439 Speaker 1: a contact sport he was going to play again women, 1657 01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:03,519 Speaker 1: he would be able to play at a very high level, 1658 01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:06,120 Speaker 1: assuming he was reasonably strong and athletic. Right, you got 1659 01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:09,160 Speaker 1: a two hundred pound, six foot tall guy who's twenty 1660 01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:12,719 Speaker 1: five years old, he's going to be an elite level 1661 01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:16,560 Speaker 1: athlete among females in contact sports, not in tennis or 1662 01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:21,920 Speaker 1: but in sports whereas pure physical strength and speed are 1663 01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:25,400 Speaker 1: really all that is needed, and we just we all 1664 01:36:25,439 --> 01:36:29,519 Speaker 1: know this, but we're being told to forget what is obvious. 1665 01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:31,920 Speaker 1: In fact, we're being told to embrace what is false. 1666 01:36:33,800 --> 01:36:37,240 Speaker 1: Here's the headline here was he played handball for Australia's 1667 01:36:37,240 --> 01:36:44,160 Speaker 1: men's team. Now transgender, he's dominating women's handball. And I 1668 01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:46,840 Speaker 1: see this now is even going beyond this strength issue 1669 01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:51,160 Speaker 1: to the attractiveness issue. You know, you have the Miss 1670 01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:58,600 Speaker 1: Universe competition, which you know, for pure research purposes. I 1671 01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:01,400 Speaker 1: have occasionally tuned in just to you know, I'm in 1672 01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:04,040 Speaker 1: media and I need to know what's going on, so 1673 01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:07,840 Speaker 1: occasionally I will have flipped on the Miss Universe competition. 1674 01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:10,599 Speaker 1: I changed the channel when the swimsuits come on. But 1675 01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:13,280 Speaker 1: you know, I have been known to see some of 1676 01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:16,640 Speaker 1: the pageants in the past, and they're all saying the 1677 01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:19,320 Speaker 1: odds on favorite this year to win the twenty eighteen 1678 01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:27,280 Speaker 1: Miss Universe pageant is Angela Ponce, who is male. This 1679 01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:29,680 Speaker 1: is I mean, this is a transgender individual, you know, 1680 01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:33,120 Speaker 1: and and I think it's it's it's remarkable that this 1681 01:37:33,160 --> 01:37:37,040 Speaker 1: has moved so quickly that now I guess you're you're 1682 01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:41,240 Speaker 1: bigoted if as a male who is attracted to females, 1683 01:37:42,479 --> 01:37:46,680 Speaker 1: which is a vast majority. Despite what you get from 1684 01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:48,840 Speaker 1: watching the media days, a vast majority of males are 1685 01:37:48,840 --> 01:37:51,719 Speaker 1: in fact attracted to females. And it is a deep 1686 01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:57,640 Speaker 1: biological predisposition, right, There's a whole propagation of the species 1687 01:37:57,680 --> 01:38:00,880 Speaker 1: thing that comes into play here. If you're a biological 1688 01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:07,000 Speaker 1: male who is only attracted to females, it is bigoted. 1689 01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:11,599 Speaker 1: If you really take the woke social justice warriors at 1690 01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:15,160 Speaker 1: their word, it's bigoted for you to not be attracted 1691 01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:20,840 Speaker 1: to a man who has put on all these ostensibly 1692 01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:25,479 Speaker 1: female characteristics on their you know, on their outer body. 1693 01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:28,240 Speaker 1: The problem is, folks, it's also you know, you can 1694 01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:32,400 Speaker 1: always really tell it never you know, I've never seen 1695 01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:40,680 Speaker 1: a transgendered individual who is not obviously male with female accoutrement. 1696 01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:44,559 Speaker 1: If you will, you can always tell. And you can't 1697 01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:47,840 Speaker 1: actually change your biology. So they can give you the 1698 01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:49,920 Speaker 1: pills and they can give you the surgeries and all 1699 01:38:49,920 --> 01:38:54,240 Speaker 1: this stuff, but ultimately it's just all feeding into a lie. 1700 01:38:55,040 --> 01:38:58,679 Speaker 1: But because of the radical equality that's at the heart 1701 01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:02,719 Speaker 1: of cultural marks and the left, because of the radical 1702 01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:06,160 Speaker 1: equality that is the basis for so much of their 1703 01:39:06,160 --> 01:39:10,200 Speaker 1: agitation and so much of their organizing and really the 1704 01:39:11,240 --> 01:39:16,600 Speaker 1: leveraging of envy as a means of mobilizing people. They 1705 01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:20,280 Speaker 1: like to pretend that there's no differences between the genders. Therefore, 1706 01:39:20,280 --> 01:39:23,559 Speaker 1: any differences between the genders that do exist in terms 1707 01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:28,000 Speaker 1: of pay or strength or anything else, those are social 1708 01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:32,120 Speaker 1: constructs that are the result of oppression. So I know, 1709 01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:34,000 Speaker 1: I just that's a much more complicated and maybe I'll 1710 01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:35,519 Speaker 1: get into that more than next time, because I feel 1711 01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:37,200 Speaker 1: like I'm just scratching the service with you on that 1712 01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:40,360 Speaker 1: one this time around. But it's an issue I'm always 1713 01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:43,120 Speaker 1: happy to talk about because I think it shows you 1714 01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:46,160 Speaker 1: how how dishonest and how crazy the left has become. 1715 01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:49,120 Speaker 1: We have our first role call in days coming up. 1716 01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:54,240 Speaker 1: I'm excited about it, So stay right there. The show 1717 01:39:54,400 --> 01:40:03,599 Speaker 1: ain't over yet, folks, it's time for roll call. Well, team, 1718 01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:06,320 Speaker 1: it is so good to be back here in the 1719 01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:10,760 Speaker 1: saddle in the Freedom Hut. Men. It was it was 1720 01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:13,360 Speaker 1: tough last week. I don't know if it was a 1721 01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:15,920 Speaker 1: light flu or a terrible cold, but it was one 1722 01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:19,160 Speaker 1: of the two. And I try not to whine about 1723 01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:20,960 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff on this show. I know everyone's 1724 01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:24,000 Speaker 1: got their own health challenges. Stop whining. I was in 1725 01:40:24,120 --> 01:40:26,320 Speaker 1: rough shape there that Wednesday show, the last show I 1726 01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:27,880 Speaker 1: did before I had to take a couple of days out. 1727 01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:32,240 Speaker 1: My voice box was basically failing in some of the breaks, 1728 01:40:32,680 --> 01:40:35,840 Speaker 1: and I was coughing up stuff that might as well 1729 01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:38,400 Speaker 1: have been Slimer from Ghostbusters, Like some of the stuff 1730 01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:40,040 Speaker 1: that I was coughing up could have gotten up and 1731 01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:42,840 Speaker 1: walked out of the room. Bike. I know, I know 1732 01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:46,040 Speaker 1: it's gross. I'm sorry, Producer Mike, I'm sorry, all right, 1733 01:40:46,280 --> 01:40:50,720 Speaker 1: that was gross, TMI. As the kids say, too much information, 1734 01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:55,240 Speaker 1: t AM. I not to be confused with Bay, which 1735 01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:59,280 Speaker 1: is another thing that the cool kids say. We have 1736 01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:02,519 Speaker 1: roll call to get to, so I will get right 1737 01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:05,640 Speaker 1: to it now. First up, by the way, whenever you 1738 01:41:05,800 --> 01:41:08,559 Speaker 1: hear me doing that when I start rambling and coherently 1739 01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:11,240 Speaker 1: for a second during Roan calls, usually because my computer 1740 01:41:11,320 --> 01:41:15,040 Speaker 1: is frozen up and it has unfrozen. Kyle writes Buck, 1741 01:41:15,880 --> 01:41:18,040 Speaker 1: I don't have cable TV. I listen to your podcast 1742 01:41:18,320 --> 01:41:22,599 Speaker 1: and Fox Business on my XM. But on the treadmill 1743 01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:25,080 Speaker 1: this morning I had a side by side view of 1744 01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:29,120 Speaker 1: Fox and CNN. Fox had at least a half a 1745 01:41:29,120 --> 01:41:33,720 Speaker 1: dozen segments, all different subjects, to include Russia without exaggeration. 1746 01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:37,240 Speaker 1: CNN had twenty five minutes of Russia indictment impeachment coverage 1747 01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:40,400 Speaker 1: and five minutes of Kashogi. To say Trump lives in 1748 01:41:40,439 --> 01:41:44,080 Speaker 1: their heads is an understatement, Well, Kyle, it's not all 1749 01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:48,040 Speaker 1: ideologically driven. I mean, I can tell you that stories 1750 01:41:48,080 --> 01:41:52,600 Speaker 1: that involve Trump, stories about Trump, get ratings, they get attention, 1751 01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:56,080 Speaker 1: and in a sense, you know people in this media business, 1752 01:41:56,960 --> 01:41:58,720 Speaker 1: you give the people what they want, or else your 1753 01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:03,400 Speaker 1: competition does. I mean that is a very real consideration. 1754 01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:08,120 Speaker 1: And even see Ann for example, overall its ratings are up, 1755 01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:11,880 Speaker 1: even though its prime time ratings are quite a bit down, 1756 01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:15,559 Speaker 1: and its ratings are up because of Trump. So while 1757 01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:17,439 Speaker 1: they complain about Trump, it's say he's a danger to 1758 01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:20,640 Speaker 1: the press, he's making the press richer, and he's not 1759 01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:22,720 Speaker 1: actually a danger to them. So it's really a win 1760 01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:29,280 Speaker 1: win for the whiny libs of the media. Patrick, Just 1761 01:42:29,439 --> 01:42:33,200 Speaker 1: for information's sake, to follow up on my ancestry, I'm 1762 01:42:33,240 --> 01:42:37,280 Speaker 1: two thirds Welsh, a third Irish, and one percent Congolees. 1763 01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:40,679 Speaker 1: That means I have more African in me than Warren 1764 01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:43,200 Speaker 1: has Native American. Well, Patrick, thank you for the random, 1765 01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:46,799 Speaker 1: fun personal facts that now the entire country knows about 1766 01:42:47,200 --> 01:42:51,200 Speaker 1: good to hear from you, Adam writes Buck, I'd love 1767 01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:54,960 Speaker 1: to get your opinion on universal basic income. I personally 1768 01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:57,320 Speaker 1: think if properly executed, we can drive a stake through 1769 01:42:57,360 --> 01:43:00,240 Speaker 1: the heart of federal bureaucracy and potentially the Democratic Party 1770 01:43:00,560 --> 01:43:04,719 Speaker 1: slash and burn nearly all benefits to pay for it. Well, Adam, 1771 01:43:04,800 --> 01:43:09,160 Speaker 1: here's the thing. Universal basic income sounds at first for 1772 01:43:09,200 --> 01:43:11,200 Speaker 1: a lot of folks like a pretty good idea. Right, 1773 01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:14,240 Speaker 1: you need a safety net. Very few people these days 1774 01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:17,439 Speaker 1: argue against any kind of safety net. So if you're 1775 01:43:17,479 --> 01:43:21,080 Speaker 1: going to have a safety net, the thinking goes, why 1776 01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:24,080 Speaker 1: not just give people money and then let them fend 1777 01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:26,640 Speaker 1: for themselves with that money. Well, what would happen is 1778 01:43:26,760 --> 01:43:29,920 Speaker 1: you'd have a similar dynamic to when people say let's 1779 01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:33,280 Speaker 1: get rid of income tax and replace it with a 1780 01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:35,240 Speaker 1: VAT tax, and they say, well, we'll only have a 1781 01:43:35,320 --> 01:43:38,719 Speaker 1: VAT tax, we won't have income tax. No, the way government, 1782 01:43:38,760 --> 01:43:42,360 Speaker 1: the way of bureaucracies work, you're gonna have both. So 1783 01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:46,240 Speaker 1: by creating universal basic income, what would happen is you 1784 01:43:46,240 --> 01:43:50,120 Speaker 1: would have an additional entitlement and then they would either 1785 01:43:50,160 --> 01:43:55,200 Speaker 1: want to bring back or keep or enlarge Supplemental Nutrition 1786 01:43:55,240 --> 01:44:00,280 Speaker 1: Assistance program food stamps. They'd want to enlarge Medicaid, you know, 1787 01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:02,839 Speaker 1: free healthcare. They'd want to enlarge all these different programs 1788 01:44:02,840 --> 01:44:05,400 Speaker 1: to the poor and give them a universal basic income. 1789 01:44:06,240 --> 01:44:10,120 Speaker 1: And that's not good. It also would create a perception 1790 01:44:10,160 --> 01:44:14,719 Speaker 1: that the state has an obligation to pay its people. 1791 01:44:15,400 --> 01:44:18,920 Speaker 1: And I think that just at a philosophical level, you know, 1792 01:44:18,920 --> 01:44:20,840 Speaker 1: it's one thing to give somebody. It's one thing to 1793 01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:23,439 Speaker 1: give somebody food or medical care, something to give somebody 1794 01:44:23,439 --> 01:44:26,240 Speaker 1: just money they can do absolutely anything with. I think 1795 01:44:26,240 --> 01:44:30,080 Speaker 1: the amount of fraud you'd seeds is very very high. Look, 1796 01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:32,920 Speaker 1: you've got eighty billion dollars a year, it's estimated in 1797 01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:36,799 Speaker 1: Medicare and Medicare fraud in America every year. Eighty billion 1798 01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:40,920 Speaker 1: with a bee. So that's that's my sense of that. 1799 01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:43,040 Speaker 1: I don't think we're going there anytime soon. And there 1800 01:44:43,040 --> 01:44:44,960 Speaker 1: are a lot of people who would argue against it 1801 01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:47,519 Speaker 1: for the very reason that it would eliminate jobs. There 1802 01:44:47,520 --> 01:44:50,320 Speaker 1: are there are plenty of people that feel very strong 1803 01:44:50,360 --> 01:44:55,120 Speaker 1: that we should have a large, overpaid and lethargic bureaucratic 1804 01:44:55,160 --> 01:44:59,080 Speaker 1: class in this country working for the government, and that 1805 01:44:59,080 --> 01:45:01,760 Speaker 1: that's has a state balizing influence on society. This is 1806 01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:07,000 Speaker 1: a good thing and we should have these this bureaucratic establishment. 1807 01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:09,760 Speaker 1: People do believe that I'm not one of them, but 1808 01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:14,120 Speaker 1: there are people who think that way, and writes Jay, 1809 01:45:15,200 --> 01:45:18,960 Speaker 1: just Jay, and I don't know what the secret code is, 1810 01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:22,080 Speaker 1: but you have to write more to me and then 1811 01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:24,479 Speaker 1: I'll know what the secret code is. We can keep 1812 01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:29,120 Speaker 1: the party going. Irene writes, have you thought about joining CRTV? 1813 01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:32,560 Speaker 1: Blaze TV?

I'm I'm very focused 1825 01:46:09,080 --> 01:46:12,120 Speaker 1: right now, first and foremost on this radio show, but 1826 01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:17,120 Speaker 1: then also trying to expand out and do more well, 1827 01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:21,200 Speaker 1: really just get more viewership for the Hill TV project 1828 01:46:21,240 --> 01:46:24,799 Speaker 1: that we are working on, but ire and you're definitely 1829 01:46:24,840 --> 01:46:29,920 Speaker 1: thinking in the right general direction.

Well, Matthew, that 1831 01:46:34,439 --> 01:46:37,639 Speaker 1: would be because I felt god awful and was very, 1832 01:46:37,760 --> 01:46:40,439 Speaker 1: very sick. In fact, I kind of got sicker throughout 1833 01:46:40,439 --> 01:46:41,880 Speaker 1: the day. I don't know how many of you have 1834 01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:44,439 Speaker 1: had this where you know your cold is really bad 1835 01:46:44,439 --> 01:46:46,360 Speaker 1: in the morning, but then you kind of you drink 1836 01:46:46,360 --> 01:46:48,800 Speaker 1: your coffee, you know, you get some stuff moving, you 1837 01:46:48,880 --> 01:46:51,880 Speaker 1: get get things flowing, and it's not untill later on 1838 01:46:51,920 --> 01:46:54,240 Speaker 1: that day you realize, oh, I'm also exhausted, and my 1839 01:46:54,400 --> 01:46:56,839 Speaker 1: entire body and my throat and my head are aching. 1840 01:46:57,240 --> 01:47:00,680 Speaker 1: And that's where I was. It was. It was a 1841 01:47:00,760 --> 01:47:03,600 Speaker 1: challenge to get through this show last week, for that 1842 01:47:03,720 --> 01:47:05,840 Speaker 1: last day. I'm so glad though.

You see here on 1848 01:47:21,040 --> 01:47:23,360 Speaker 1: Fox News a lot, and I know the godfather, Michael 1849 01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:27,960 Speaker 1: Palca hooked it up on Friday, as he always does. So. Indeed, 1850 01:47:28,880 --> 01:47:31,599 Speaker 1: Ryan writes, Buck, I listen to your podcast almost every day. 1851 01:47:32,160 --> 01:47:34,759 Speaker 1: A lot of times I'm working in people's homes installing 1852 01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:38,439 Speaker 1: window coverings. It was absolutely hilarious to listen to Voice 1853 01:47:38,439 --> 01:47:42,600 Speaker 1: of Freedom while MSNBC was blaring in the background. MSNBC 1854 01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:46,599 Speaker 1: really is NonStop hatred of President Trump in the USA. Luckily, 1855 01:47:46,640 --> 01:47:48,840 Speaker 1: here in Idaho, most people are still saying, keep up 1856 01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:52,519 Speaker 1: the good work, drink or tea, Get well soon, Ryan, Well, Ryan, 1857 01:47:52,600 --> 01:47:55,160 Speaker 1: thank you, and you should all remember that that you 1858 01:47:55,280 --> 01:47:58,960 Speaker 1: can listen to and therefore carry with you the Freedom 1859 01:47:59,040 --> 01:48:03,000 Speaker 1: hut A show wherever you go, wherever you are, so 1860 01:48:03,120 --> 01:48:05,599 Speaker 1: you've always got a little bit of conservatism stored up 1861 01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:07,840 Speaker 1: and in your pocket whenever you need it. So if 1862 01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:12,360 Speaker 1: you happen to get stuck at a Marxist meditation festival 1863 01:48:12,760 --> 01:48:16,639 Speaker 1: in Silicon Valley, you could just pull out on your 1864 01:48:16,720 --> 01:48:19,599 Speaker 1: smartphone a little Buck Sexton show, and you know we're 1865 01:48:19,640 --> 01:48:21,439 Speaker 1: gonna bring it home.

Given the glowing press 1868 01:48:30,240 --> 01:48:32,479 Speaker 1: he's been receiving after his death, it's easy to forget 1869 01:48:32,479 --> 01:48:36,120 Speaker 1: that President Bush forty one maintained a consistently better than 1870 01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:39,240 Speaker 1: fifty percent public approval rating until late in nineteen ninety one. 1871 01:48:39,880 --> 01:48:42,080 Speaker 1: In fact, in early nineteen ninety one, he got up 1872 01:48:42,120 --> 01:48:45,280 Speaker 1: to almost ninety percent. Is that right before the way 1873 01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:48,599 Speaker 1: that find that hard to believe, Thomas, But okay, then 1874 01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:50,479 Speaker 1: the press turned on him and destroyed him to get 1875 01:48:50,479 --> 01:48:52,559 Speaker 1: Clinton elected. In a year and a half, he went 1876 01:48:52,600 --> 01:48:55,120 Speaker 1: from eighty nine percent hide at below thirty percent. I 1877 01:48:55,120 --> 01:48:57,080 Speaker 1: don't know about eighty nine percent approve of my friend. 1878 01:48:57,080 --> 01:48:59,160 Speaker 1: I find that you have to show me some numbers 1879 01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:01,720 Speaker 1: on that. In the nineteen ninety two general election, many 1880 01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:04,120 Speaker 1: were saying anybody but Bush, and I believe that was 1881 01:49:04,120 --> 01:49:06,000 Speaker 1: really thanks to the press. Thanks for all you do, 1882 01:49:06,280 --> 01:49:10,439 Speaker 1: Thomas Oss. Thomas, thank you for writing in and belay 1883 01:49:10,439 --> 01:49:12,200 Speaker 1: you could be running all those poll numbers. I just 1884 01:49:12,439 --> 01:49:15,360 Speaker 1: that's just shockingly high approval. I can't imagine a president 1885 01:49:15,880 --> 01:49:20,880 Speaker 1: at any time having approval. But as to the media 1886 01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:22,519 Speaker 1: and their treatment a Bush, yeah, there was a lot. 1887 01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:26,200 Speaker 1: There was a lot of disingenuousness with people who were 1888 01:49:26,200 --> 01:49:28,760 Speaker 1: all of a sudden pretending that they thought Bush was 1889 01:49:28,800 --> 01:49:32,920 Speaker 1: so great, they were so supportive of his more refined 1890 01:49:33,120 --> 01:49:36,920 Speaker 1: and dignified Republicanism than what we have now. But that 1891 01:49:37,040 --> 01:49:39,920 Speaker 1: was mostly just to give them an opportunity, as we know, 1892 01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:43,920 Speaker 1: to bash Trump. That was really what was motivating a 1893 01:49:43,920 --> 01:49:47,600 Speaker 1: lot of the Oh Bush was so wonderful, And it 1894 01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:50,960 Speaker 1: was definitely the case at the McCain funeral. And look, 1895 01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:53,160 Speaker 1: I very much disagree with the decision that was made 1896 01:49:53,760 --> 01:49:56,240 Speaker 1: at the McCain funeral by some people to use it 1897 01:49:56,280 --> 01:49:59,680 Speaker 1: as a as a pulpit to attack President Trump. I 1898 01:49:59,720 --> 01:50:01,720 Speaker 1: don't think that when someone looks back on a life 1899 01:50:01,720 --> 01:50:04,439 Speaker 1: like John mccains, I don't think anybody should think that 1900 01:50:04,479 --> 01:50:07,599 Speaker 1: it has really that Donald Trump really matters in that hole. 1901 01:50:08,240 --> 01:50:10,400 Speaker 1: But they did decide that it mattered. I don't know. 1902 01:50:10,439 --> 01:50:14,040 Speaker 1: I thought that was strange and I would not have 1903 01:50:14,080 --> 01:50:16,080 Speaker 1: made that decision that I can say. Also, wasn't my 1904 01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:19,479 Speaker 1: decision to make. Caroline dear Buck, I'm just gonna come 1905 01:50:19,479 --> 01:50:22,120 Speaker 1: out and say it. I hate Santa. The elves work 1906 01:50:22,160 --> 01:50:24,759 Speaker 1: all year long producing all these toys, and Santa puts 1907 01:50:24,760 --> 01:50:28,280 Speaker 1: in one hour one rather twenty four hours shift the 1908 01:50:28,280 --> 01:50:30,920 Speaker 1: whole year, and takes all the credit. It's kind of 1909 01:50:30,920 --> 01:50:33,280 Speaker 1: like when the tax and spend democrats can graduate themselves 1910 01:50:33,280 --> 01:50:36,080 Speaker 1: on all the free government goodies while the taxpayer is 1911 01:50:36,120 --> 01:50:39,120 Speaker 1: the one who really produced the wealth. Anyway, Mary Christmas 1912 01:50:39,160 --> 01:50:43,320 Speaker 1: and Shields I Carolyn, well, thank you Marylyn, Marilyn, Carolyn 1913 01:50:43,560 --> 01:50:47,680 Speaker 1: else it was Maryland.

All of a sudden he shows up. Santa's 1916 01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:55,280 Speaker 1: like the guy who throws an extra five dollars on 1917 01:50:55,360 --> 01:50:57,840 Speaker 1: the table when somebody else pays like a for a 1918 01:50:57,840 --> 01:51:00,200 Speaker 1: two hundred dollar dinner. But you know Santa us to 1919 01:51:00,240 --> 01:51:02,000 Speaker 1: give a little more tips, so he throws in the five. 1920 01:51:02,080 --> 01:51:03,920 Speaker 1: Those you've seen in the show friends know exactly what 1921 01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:06,360 Speaker 1: I'm talking about.
