WEBVTT - SanctiComey's Selective Amnesia

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>You are entering the freedom hunt. Former FBI and doctor

0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 1>James Comy seems to have some very selective amnesia. And

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:23.279
<v Speaker 1>oh turns out he's a wildly anti Trump partisan. We

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>knew that, but we got details. Plus can the government

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>take your house if you underpay your taxes for eight dollars?

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Can answer to that and much more coming up on

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:36.479
<v Speaker 1>the buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.560
<v Speaker 1>where the mission or mission is to decode what really

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:51.840
<v Speaker 1>great American. Again the buck Sexton Show begins. Analysts, remember,

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I hope Donald Trump is not removed from office by

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>impeachment because it would let the country off the hook,

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.399
<v Speaker 1>and it would drive into the fabric of our nation

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 1>a third of the people believing there was a coup.

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>And we need a moment of inflection where we all

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>get off the couch and say that is not who

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>we are and in a landslide, rid ourselves of this

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>attack on our values. And if we in a way

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:27.839
<v Speaker 1>short circuited that with an important legitimate process through the Constitution,

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I worry that we wouldn't we be letting ourselves off

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:32.399
<v Speaker 1>the hook In away, and we wouldn't have the moment

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>of clarity that we need in this country. That said,

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>if the facts are there and the legislative two houses

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>of Congress think it's appropriate, that's fine. Someone please make

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the sank to Komi stop. I don't know how much

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>more of that I could handle. Welcome to buck Sex

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and show great to be back, everybody. Thank you so

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 1>much for joining me. I know I was, I was out.

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I felt very ill last week, but I am back

0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>in action, and man, I missed you guys. This is

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the most fun part, most worthwhile part of my day

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>every day. And I would only take days off when

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I absolutely have to forrather need, you know, the needs

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>of vacation or health. In this case, it was health.

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to Komy right away here. So I read

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.359
<v Speaker 1>the Komy transcript over the weekend, because that's the kind

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 1>of fun party animal that I am. It's hanging out,

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>rocking out, listening to some Kenny g reading some Komy transcripts,

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, as one does. And I'm reading the Komy

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>stuff and then this speech or forum whatever it is.

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:36.959
<v Speaker 1>He sits down at the ninety second Street y in

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>New York and has to sit down talk and you

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>get these moments of pure, unadulterated komey Ism that we

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>should all remember. And now that we see who this

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>guy is, Now that we've an understanding of who this

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>FBI director really was and the role that he played

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>in the anti Trump cabal at the FBI, you got

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 1>to reevaluate everything that we had heard from beforehand, everything

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 1>we saw originally about Russia collusion and Comy's firing. This

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:13.079
<v Speaker 1>guy is a hack and a loon. Maybe he has

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>been mentally and emotionally broken by Trump the way so

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.240
<v Speaker 1>many others who I had, even in some cases previously

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.239
<v Speaker 1>respected and thought were intelligent, but many of them have

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.959
<v Speaker 1>been broken by Trump and by Trump is m so

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:26.919
<v Speaker 1>that could be the case with him. Although I think

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.519
<v Speaker 1>that what we've seen is that Comy all along has

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>been a Comyist first and foremost. He's been most concerned

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 1>with himself and with the institutions, notably the FBI the

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Department of Justice that he ties himself to. But you

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 1>got a really interesting view of how this man sees

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>himself there and how he plays the game, because he's

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 1>definitely somebody that is executing on a public relations strategy

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>here you know this. He's the one who leaked information

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>to somebody so that I could get into the New

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>York Times to damage He takes all this very personally.

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Coomy is a very large ego, all six foot eleven

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>of him, and he says in that one little sound

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>bite we played for you that he's really hoping they

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 1>don't impeach the president because we need to cut because

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>people would think it's a coup. Yeah, maybe because it

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>really is a soft coup in a sense. He's gaslighting

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>the American people here by saying, well, if if they

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>were to go forward with impeachment and then removal, which

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 1>is not for that, it's never gonna happen. This sen

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 1>it's never gonna move Trump and this is all that's

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 1>all just happy horse, you know what. But even if

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 1>it just goes through impeachment, he wants to say, oh, well,

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna say it's because of a deep state. They're

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna say it's a soft coup, so that shouldn't happen. Well,

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>the reason we're gonna say that's because it is. Because

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.719
<v Speaker 1>that's what we've seen. That's what the evidence shows that

0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>there has been a very obvious, now ongoing longstanding plot,

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 1>a collusion, if you will, between the establishment elites, Democrat Party, DNC,

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Hillary senior officials, the DOJ, Sally Yates, Brannan, These these

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 1>left wing partisans you know from the boomer generation, who

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 1>have bought into all the progressive claptrap about how important

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.359
<v Speaker 1>they are and how how wonderful they are for the

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 1>future of the country and everything else. We've seen what

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 1>they've done. We don't have even a full accounting of

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 1>it yet, but we know that they stacked the deck

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>against Trump. We know that they tried to take him

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>down from the inside. And now you get you get

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>to have Comy out there lecturing us on how well

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 1>we don't want we don't want the president to be

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>impeached because then people might think, I don't know where

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 1>they'd get this idea that there was almost some group

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 1>of senior government officials working to protect Hillary and destroy Trump.

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:05.839
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that gaslighting? He is gaslighting you those who don't

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 1>know what that is. It's be like if you know

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.040
<v Speaker 1>if I hit you and then and then five seconds later,

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 1>I say I didn't hit you and you say, yeah,

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 1>you did, that's gaslighting you. That's what Kobe's doing. But

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:20.599
<v Speaker 1>part of a deep state cabal. And now what do

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>you mean. I mean we can't have them, We can't

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 1>have removal from office because the people would think there's

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>a deep state cabal. Oh, I wonder why they'd think that,

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.719
<v Speaker 1>and then play clip four. I can't see that what

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 1>the end of the Mueller effort looks like. I don't

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 1>know what form it will take. I don't know what

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 1>they'll conclude, and so I can't say in that respect,

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you that all of us should use

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 1>every breath. We have to make sure that the line

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>stops on January twentieth, twenty one. I understand any of

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.479
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats have important debates have about who their candidates

0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 1>should be. They have to win. They have to win.

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Democrats have to win. Now the becomie's not a partisan,

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 1>you see, That's what they'll tell you, Oh, a lifelong Republicans.

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Not even true. And by the way, there are Republicans

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 1>that hate Trump more than anybody else. In fact, there

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of Republicans who know that if they

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 1>switch parties officially, then they'll just be the opposition. So

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 1>they'd rather keep that Republican they have the Jennifer Ruben

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>maneuver over at the Washington Post. Keep calling yourself a Republican,

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.760
<v Speaker 1>so then you have more credibility when you bash Republicans

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 1>all the time. So that's a stupid talking point that

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>they use, but they use it because people buy you

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>do because they got other things I got to think about. Fortunately,

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I just have this to think about all day. But

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Comey is a hyperpartisan, which then makes us naturally think,

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>when did he become so anti Trump? When did he

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>become this left wing pro elite and therefore pro Hillary

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>actor on the stage here? And what about all the

0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>decisions ever made? What about the decision not to prosecute Hillary,

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>which Comy violated department policy in doing that whole Prescot's conference.

0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's clearly stuff that he's done where Comy

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.520
<v Speaker 1>has aired. No matter who you are, you have to admitted.

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he got the guy was going rogue, but

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 1>he went rogue for the right side. That's why they

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 1>try to downplay it and say it's not really that

0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:24.080
<v Speaker 1>big a deal. But it is a very big deal.

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:30.120
<v Speaker 1>And why is it that we are told, for an example,

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 1>that Whittaker, who is the acting Attorney General, is someone

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>who is cannot be trusted because of his pro Trump sympathies,

0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 1>but those same people, so he is not an ethical person,

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>an ethical an ethical individual at the DOJ according to

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 1>the left. I mean, I'm not saying I buy this,

0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.080
<v Speaker 1>but this is what they'll tell you and the media,

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the left, the media. It's interchangeable. And then they will

0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.680
<v Speaker 1>also say, well, the Department of Justice didn't file charges

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>against Hillary Clinton, so you know, that's the end of that.

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>No discussion to be had there. Department of Justice didn't

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 1>want to pursue the Clinton Foundation, even though there are

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 1>whistle blowers came out last week who had the evidence.

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.199
<v Speaker 1>They got the goods Clinton Foundation. A lot of corruption

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:18.480
<v Speaker 1>and self dealing and nonsense going on there at a charity. Yeah,

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 1>at a charity, but involved the Clintons. What a surprise.

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 1>But we're supposed to believe that Lauretta Lynch and Sally

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Yates and James Comey, the people who were making the

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 1>key decisions about both the Hillary investigations that should have

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:40.160
<v Speaker 1>been ongoing, email Clinton Foundation in or just go through them.

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.079
<v Speaker 1>Uranium won all of that. The people that are making

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 1>the decisions about that, and also behind the scenes pushing

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 1>this whole Russia collusion fantasy. We're supposed to trust those

0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 1>people that they were making decisions in good faith. Then

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.200
<v Speaker 1>they've only become partisan now or now they've left government.

0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>We know what they are, but they weren't that. Then

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>this defies logic. This is not credible, just as Coomy's

0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, not sure, don't remember. Coomy was in

0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 1>fun of Congress last week. They released the full transcript

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 1>of but I read through it, and you know what

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Comy does to avoid perjury charges. I mean, first of all,

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 1>he's so smug and sanctimonious. I don't know how people

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 1>ever worked for this guy and dealt with this guy.

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I really don't. I don't know, But every time he

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 1>gets asked a question, it's well to the extent of

0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 1>my knowledge in the situation. I have no knowledge of

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that situation. So that he could avoid answering questions and

0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 1>avoid a real perjury trap by just always claiming that

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't remember you. And I would note that the DOJ.

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 1>In fact, Coomy's close buddy Fitzgerald, went after Scooter Libby

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.440
<v Speaker 1>for not remembering something properly. They try to ruin his

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 1>life over it. So you know who gets the benefit

0:10:56.440 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 1>of the doubt who gets treated in faith by the

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department versus who gets crushed, you know, who gets

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.719
<v Speaker 1>the Muller treatment. Everybody that comes in his path just

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 1>gets gets chewed up and spat out. This is where

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the justice system is failing. This is where the real

0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:19.239
<v Speaker 1>undermining of institutions is occurring. And it's where the Democrats

0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 1>have been running wild and the anti Trump left has

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 1>exposed themselves in the most egregious ways. And they want

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 1>us to just forget about this. They want us to,

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, look at look to some other explanation of

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.440
<v Speaker 1>these events. And there I'm gonna talk about the campaign

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.240
<v Speaker 1>finance issue with with Cohen coming up here in just

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.280
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. That's their big thing. Now, that's the

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 1>big reveal. Oh, we've we've got the president on conspiracy

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 1>to commit a vague campaign finance violation that would probably

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.640
<v Speaker 1>be a civil penalty if it didn't avoid it didn't

0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:00.360
<v Speaker 1>involve Trump, and it's not a big deal anyway, but

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>let's try to end his presidency over These people are bonkers,

0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 1>looney tunes, insane, but unfortunately they have power and they're dedicated,

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 1>and they think they're taken down this president. Well, They're

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.120
<v Speaker 1>not going to do it on our watch without a fight,

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure. Team. We've got a lot more show coming.

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Great to be back and reasonably healthy and able to

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:20.320

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.199
<v Speaker 1>You know, the President has been very clear from when

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.679
<v Speaker 1>he ran for office said he wants to protect America's

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 1>border and keep this country safe. And now more than ever,

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 1>when you see the caravan, I know what Lindsay Graham

0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 1>was talking about. You've got thousands of people literally saying

0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 1>we're just going to storm your border and come into

0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the country. And oh, by the way, we have at

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:45.600
<v Speaker 1>least six hundred known convicted criminals as part of this caravan.

0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.319
<v Speaker 1>These are people seeking asylum. By the way, Sandraw they

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 1>were offered asylum and jobs in Mexico and turned it down.

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 1>So let's not talk about asylum. It's whether or not

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.199
<v Speaker 1>we're going to have rule of law in the country.

0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Democrats are perpetuating a scam and a lie against the

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:05.320
<v Speaker 1>American people here at the border, and I really hope

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>the administration doesn't take its eye off the ball, so

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:11.720
<v Speaker 1>to speak, here. I really hope that they follow through

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:15.319
<v Speaker 1>on this. I think though, that the indications right now

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.960
<v Speaker 1>are bad. I think that it looks like we're going

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 1>to see a continuing resolution or whatever the budgetary measure

0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't even really mean, you know, they're going to

0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 1>kick the can down the road, however they whatever they

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 1>call it, however they do it, They're going to fund

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 1>the government. It's not going to be a shutdown. And

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 1>it's because ultimately Democrats can't cave on this issue, because

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 1>their worst fear is that they allow for the robust

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 1>construction of the construction of a robust wall, and it

0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 1>works and we see a drop, and then not only

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.520
<v Speaker 1>will we realize that this is something we need to

0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 1>invest even more heavily in, we would see a change

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.440
<v Speaker 1>in the dynamic over the immigration discussion, overall, over the

0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:02.400
<v Speaker 1>illegal immigration discussion, and we'd know the Democrats have been

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 1>lying to us and just repeating a stupid talking point

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 1>for not just weeks, for years. For years, they've been

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>saying that a wall won't do anything. So they're desperate

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>to prevent a wall from going up, because if we

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 1>can then see that it does something, what do they

0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.640
<v Speaker 1>say that. You know, this is just like Democrats were saying, oh,

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:22.160
<v Speaker 1>you know the caravans a thousand miles away. Yeah, okay,

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 1>wasn't thousand miles away. Now it's at the border. Oh,

0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.640
<v Speaker 1>as I've been saying, they have buses and trains and

0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:32.240
<v Speaker 1>cars in Mexico. This should be a surprise to no one.

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 1>But that's that was something that they were saying and

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 1>thought they were clever for saying it at the time too.

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 1>But the latest here, this is from earlier today, it's

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the Washington Post, is that is that Trump is going

0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 1>to get offered one point three billion dollars by Democratic

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 1>leaders one point three billion dollars when they meet tuesday

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:56.160
<v Speaker 1>at the at the White House. I'm sorry, yeah, when

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.240
<v Speaker 1>they meet you to the White House. And that's because

0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:02.200
<v Speaker 1>that's tomorrow, and that is short of the five billion

0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:06.840
<v Speaker 1>dollars Trump says he needs for a border wall. Minority

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Leader Pelosi is saying that, if anything, that they could

0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.640
<v Speaker 1>move further apart on this one. Here's what we're being told. Quote.

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Schumer had suggested Trump except one point six billion border funding,

0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.360
<v Speaker 1>the funding level included in the Senate bill with bipartist support,

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:23.840
<v Speaker 1>but that one point six billion would struggle the past

0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 1>the House, where Democrats won't support it because they say

0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 1>it's too much, Republicans say it's not enough. It would

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 1>extend current funding levels, and if no dealers reached by

0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 1>the end of next week, funding will run out for

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 1>homeland security and other federal agencies. They're not going to

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:42.680
<v Speaker 1>run out of money. And five billion dollars for an

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 1>issue that's important. I mean when I mean they're not

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna run of money, I mean they're gonna extend this.

0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.720
<v Speaker 1>They're not going to shut down the government. We just

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 1>don't have the I don't know, we don't have the

0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 1>courage of our convictions on the right for some reason

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:54.600
<v Speaker 1>on this issue. I think it's because a lot of

0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Republicans are are really just big phonies on the issue.

0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:01.760
<v Speaker 1>They're really just not honest with the with their voters

0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.480
<v Speaker 1>and with the people that support them when election time

0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:06.480
<v Speaker 1>comes about what they want to do with the border,

0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.800
<v Speaker 1>because I mean, it's now or never for this thing. Man,

0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.160
<v Speaker 1>it better happened now or else it's not going to happen.

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:18.400
<v Speaker 1>And five billion dollars for given what our government spends

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and what it spends money on every year, five billion

0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.480
<v Speaker 1>dollars to protect our southern border is a drop in

0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.159
<v Speaker 1>the bucket, man. This is this is not people who

0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 1>are pretending the expense is what's you know, So haven't

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.080
<v Speaker 1>we spend like forty or fifty million on the stupid

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Mueller probe? I know that's not five billion, but it's

0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.240
<v Speaker 1>forty or fifty million. And think about the money that

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.560
<v Speaker 1>we spend on they we're spending things on this government.

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 1>And this is a really important issue. This is about security,

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:51.679
<v Speaker 1>it's about sovereignty. And I just wish, wish that the

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Republicans would would would fight. Man. I mean, just get up,

0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.080
<v Speaker 1>tell the American people why you're doing it. The media

0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:00.400
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have the ability to just lie to us all

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.399
<v Speaker 1>like they used to anymore. Get up and fight on

0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:07.080
<v Speaker 1>this issue and make your case. If you do that,

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I think that you'll see. You know, with the Schumer

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 1>shut down, Trump was able for the first time to

0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:15.760
<v Speaker 1>get to a place where it seemed like there wasn't

0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:20.159
<v Speaker 1>this built in, baked in assumption. Then anytime there's a shutdown,

0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 1>the president or the Republican rather the Republican Party is

0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:27.280
<v Speaker 1>to blame. I think they're gonna cave on this. And

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 1>every time I've told you in the past they're gonna cave,

0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.720
<v Speaker 1>I think I've been right. I just think they're gonna cave.

0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.879
<v Speaker 1>And this means the border issue continues on and and

0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:38.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're rolling the dice. If you get a

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:45.280
<v Speaker 1>large Democrat majority Congress with a Senate and president, you know,

0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.440
<v Speaker 1>going to Democrats in twenty twenty, which is not far away.

0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.520
<v Speaker 1>We're already already starting to see people talk about their

0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:55.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty runs. Corey Booker, Oh yeah, Oh I'm spartacuse

0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.639
<v Speaker 1>Corey Booker was up in New Hampshire this past week.

0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.560
<v Speaker 1>You're already seeing that cycle begin. If they get this

0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty, I'm telling you they're the first thing

0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.120
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna go for is amnesty, and then and then

0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:11.720
<v Speaker 1>it's all shoe. Then then the whole country has a

0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 1>changed demographic reality. That means the Democrats are a one

0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:18.119
<v Speaker 1>party state. Effectively, Republicans will be in the minority, and

0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.119
<v Speaker 1>Democrats will just write the laws they want to write,

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.639
<v Speaker 1>and they'll blame Republicans even though they don't have any power.

0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:25.960
<v Speaker 1>And America is going to cease to be America. That's

0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:29.440
<v Speaker 1>not a good thing. Let's go to this issue of impeachment.

0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:33.480
<v Speaker 1>They are the kind of offenses that would call for impeachment,

0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe grounds for impeachment, the prospect of impeachment, and this

0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.000
<v Speaker 1>is in fact one of the reasons why you have

0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the impeachment clause. Should the president be concerned about the

0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:48.159
<v Speaker 1>talks of impeachment. If we're going to impeach Synald Trump,

0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:52.080
<v Speaker 1>the drumbeats from Democrats for possible impeachment get louder. If

0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 1>House members find impeachable offenses. It is not just the

0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 1>right thing today is their duty. The House is going

0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:02.240
<v Speaker 1>to have little choice than to start impeachment proceedings. Donald

0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Trump will be must be impeached. Wait do they think

0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:10.359
<v Speaker 1>that maybe Donald Trump should be impeached? I'm not sure.

0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't what a bunch of clowns. Oh man, we've

0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.720
<v Speaker 1>known this. I know there's there's nothing here that surprises here.

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:21.399
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing here that you know, we we we listened

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.919
<v Speaker 1>to we go. Oh wait a second, I thought I

0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:25.639
<v Speaker 1>thought they were gonna wait for all the facts to

0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:30.160
<v Speaker 1>come in. You know what's more likely that I've known

0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:32.040
<v Speaker 1>all along, that you've known all along that they were

0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:35.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna find a pretext to impeach this president, or they

0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:37.560
<v Speaker 1>were just you know, sitting on the sidelines, just trying

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:40.679
<v Speaker 1>to play it straight. And turns out that against their

0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:44.120
<v Speaker 1>better judgment. They really don't want to, they really wish

0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:47.199
<v Speaker 1>they didn't have to, but they just have to impeach

0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.920
<v Speaker 1>this president. They have no choice, but to defend our

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:56.720
<v Speaker 1>democracy by impeaching the president for something something or other.

0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Russia finance, a porn stall are so. I mean, it's

0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:04.600
<v Speaker 1>just it changes every week. This is just a this

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:07.600
<v Speaker 1>is an extension of the insanity of the that the

0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:10.160
<v Speaker 1>left has with how every week it's a different reason

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.240
<v Speaker 1>for why Trump can't be president. You know, it's the

0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:17.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifth Amendment, it's it's the Emolument's clause. It's Russia collusion,

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:23.320
<v Speaker 1>it's the the sympathy for white nationalists. It's he's crazy.

0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's too unhealthy, he eats too many cheeseburgers.

0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:29.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's a he's a sexual abuser. I mean,

0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:34.160
<v Speaker 1>they every week there's a new terrible crime that they just, oh,

0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:36.560
<v Speaker 1>we got to talk about this terrible crime. Trump. You know,

0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:42.280
<v Speaker 1>either they're crazy or Trump is the is the most dangerous,

0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 1>frightening human being to have ever walked the face of

0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the earth. Um, it's store number one. They've they've lost

0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:52.040
<v Speaker 1>it that they are playing into a mass delusion. And

0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:54.520
<v Speaker 1>all you have to do is go back and and

0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 1>look at what they've been saying all along, all these

0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:59.600
<v Speaker 1>different things. They keep making, these predict the predictions don't

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:03.399
<v Speaker 1>come true, that keep making claims, the claims are proven false.

0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:10.440
<v Speaker 1>And and there's such an obvious mobilization here of leftist

0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:15.720
<v Speaker 1>journals to create a perception of the American people that

0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:19.399
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump needs to go. You know, that Donald Trump

0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:24.679
<v Speaker 1>is is a threat to the republic. And then I

0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 1>just see it here and I say to myself, you know,

0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:29.400
<v Speaker 1>at what point do I have to take a deep breath.

0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, at least Maxine Waters as as much of

0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:38.360
<v Speaker 1>a loon as she is, at least she's like, yeah, impeachment.

0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, she's been saying impeachment along. Maxie Waters is

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:44.440
<v Speaker 1>more honest on this issue than the rest of the Democrats.

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:48.520
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna impeach. People are saying, oh, Pelosi, so wily

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:50.680
<v Speaker 1>in cage. Now, you're not gonna be a lot whether

0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:52.560
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden the left is going to show

0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:57.399
<v Speaker 1>emotional discipline. No way, no way. So hey, props for Waters.

0:22:57.400 --> 0:22:59.879
<v Speaker 1>She's crazy, but at least she's honest crazy. Play seven.

0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I do believe that the Congress of the United States

0:23:03.400 --> 0:23:08.080
<v Speaker 1>of America have not assumed their responsibility that's given to

0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 1>us by the Constitution of the United States, by way

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:16.160
<v Speaker 1>of impeachment. This president in my estimation, has done everything

0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:23.000
<v Speaker 1>possible to certainly be eligible for impeachment, and so I

0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 1>really do think that it should be started. The president

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:31.960
<v Speaker 1>is a criminal. The president worked with Cohen, instructed him

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:36.360
<v Speaker 1>to go and pay these women to be quiet, to

0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 1>shut them up. The president not with just simply complicit

0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:43.199
<v Speaker 1>in all of this. He's the one who initiated this

0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:47.879
<v Speaker 1>with his attorney. And so this criminal must be brought

0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:51.320
<v Speaker 1>up by the Congress of the United States for impeachment.

0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:54.840
<v Speaker 1>That's right. You have a sitting member of Congress just

0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:58.280
<v Speaker 1>keeps referring to the Presidentited States as a criminal. He's

0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:01.640
<v Speaker 1>a criminal, it's what she keeps saying. Hasn't even had

0:24:01.640 --> 0:24:05.760
<v Speaker 1>a charge brought against him, but there is this insistence

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:09.600
<v Speaker 1>that he's a criminal because the Left really, really, really

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:14.880
<v Speaker 1>wants to believe that he is a criminal, and they

0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:17.000
<v Speaker 1>are so invested in this that they're never it's not

0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:20.280
<v Speaker 1>climate change, that it is impossible to change their mind

0:24:20.720 --> 0:24:23.000
<v Speaker 1>on the issue, because it would mean changing their mind

0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:26.080
<v Speaker 1>about how they feel about themselves, change their mind about

0:24:26.080 --> 0:24:28.879
<v Speaker 1>how they feel about their own intelligence, their own ability

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:32.840
<v Speaker 1>to grasp facts and come to conclusions. It's not gonna happen.

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:35.320
<v Speaker 1>It's not gonna happen. But let me tell you how

0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I view this, because I'm hearing a lot of people

0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:38.720
<v Speaker 1>and I think this is all kind of a head fake.

0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:41.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm hearing people that, including some conservatives that I know

0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:45.240
<v Speaker 1>in media and outside of media, are saying that Pelosi

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:47.640
<v Speaker 1>won't allow, She'll keep her members in line, she won't

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:50.600
<v Speaker 1>allow the Democrats to go forward with impeachment because all

0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:56.119
<v Speaker 1>it'll do is push Trump supporters deeper into the bunker

0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 1>for him. And and that's true. I mean, I think

0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:01.720
<v Speaker 1>it will the same way that we add a little

0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:04.880
<v Speaker 1>bit of a consolidation occur with cavanall that was including

0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:09.080
<v Speaker 1>even never Trump conservatives. I mean, you know, Cavanaugh was

0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:12.080
<v Speaker 1>a very binary issue. You know, you either believed in decency,

0:25:13.080 --> 0:25:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the presumption of innocence, rule of law, and justice, or

0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:19.560
<v Speaker 1>you didn't. And if you're a Democrat, you pretty much didn't.

0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:22.879
<v Speaker 1>But you know, you see what's going to happen in

0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:27.000
<v Speaker 1>this whole election process. I think it's pretty clear that

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Democrats want to run against an impeach president. They they

0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:33.720
<v Speaker 1>know they've got the votes, they're gonna do it. They

0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:37.800
<v Speaker 1>impeach him, and then whoever the Democrat standard bearer is

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:40.880
<v Speaker 1>gets to run against somebody. Remember, you know Bill Clinton

0:25:40.920 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 1>wasn't running again as an impeach president, right, you know

0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna they're gonna impeach this president and then use

0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:51.720
<v Speaker 1>that as a primary talking point for why you know,

0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:56.000
<v Speaker 1>he shouldn't he shouldn't win reelection. And then they're gonna

0:25:56.040 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 1>try to even further use that designation. This is what

0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:02.639
<v Speaker 1>liberals do. They name and shame, right. They they attach,

0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 1>They attach one word if they can to somebody, you know,

0:26:07.600 --> 0:26:14.480
<v Speaker 1>they'll attach you know, racist, rapist, fraud, liar. I mean

0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:17.159
<v Speaker 1>that they try to just bash people with a single

0:26:17.160 --> 0:26:20.000
<v Speaker 1>word to define everything about them, many many, many cases

0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:23.879
<v Speaker 1>completely unfairly right. You know Kavanaugh they were saying was

0:26:23.880 --> 0:26:26.479
<v Speaker 1>a rapist. That's a lie. These people are liars. They're crazy.

0:26:27.560 --> 0:26:28.879
<v Speaker 1>One of the most, I will tell you one of

0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:30.200
<v Speaker 1>the most. There are a few things on the show

0:26:30.200 --> 0:26:33.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm very proud of that we've done together. One of

0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:35.760
<v Speaker 1>them is the constant Stand for life. And you know

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:37.880
<v Speaker 1>why I feel that way, because even if if we've

0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:40.840
<v Speaker 1>saved one if one woman changed her mind because she

0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:43.400
<v Speaker 1>listened to this show, it makes every single show I've

0:26:43.400 --> 0:26:46.359
<v Speaker 1>ever done worthwhile. So there's that issue and then the

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:49.120
<v Speaker 1>other thing. I'm very proud that we we never wavered.

0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:52.080
<v Speaker 1>And you know, producer Mike had my back on this one,

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:54.520
<v Speaker 1>and DJ John and the whole crew and all of you.

0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:57.320
<v Speaker 1>We did not waver on Kavanaugh. And it got it

0:26:57.359 --> 0:27:00.840
<v Speaker 1>got tough for a while there, meaning that the pressure

0:27:00.960 --> 0:27:03.879
<v Speaker 1>was overwhelming and the Left was assuming that they were

0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:09.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be able to just just shame and terrify

0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:12.199
<v Speaker 1>people into agreeing with them on this whole thing. And

0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:14.040
<v Speaker 1>we stood strong there. I'm very proud of that. But

0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:17.040
<v Speaker 1>that's what impeachment becomes. And this is what makes me think,

0:27:17.080 --> 0:27:21.680
<v Speaker 1>But impeachment becomes how could you, to anybody who's an independent,

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:25.320
<v Speaker 1>to anybody who was a swing voter, how could you

0:27:25.400 --> 0:27:28.160
<v Speaker 1>vote for this? Impeach president? Oh he's a criminal, he's

0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:30.399
<v Speaker 1>so dirty, he's such a bad man. It's such a

0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:34.879
<v Speaker 1>bad guy. And they think that that will have that

0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:38.479
<v Speaker 1>will have sufficient residence. You remember, the left is all

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:44.080
<v Speaker 1>about slogans and chance and the mobilization of emotions for

0:27:44.240 --> 0:27:47.919
<v Speaker 1>political end. But Trump is better on the economy than Obama.

0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Trump is better at foreign policy than Obama. I mean,

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:52.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, you look at you line these things up

0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and you line up these administrations, you say to yourself, well,

0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:58.080
<v Speaker 1>on the merits, yeah, is Trump a little as he

0:27:58.160 --> 0:28:00.720
<v Speaker 1>disappointed me so far with some things. Yeah, yeah, it's

0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:02.240
<v Speaker 1>a whole talk we're gonna have to have here on

0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the show at some point. But overall, I mean compared

0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:06.960
<v Speaker 1>to Obama, and when you add the judges into the

0:28:07.000 --> 0:28:09.600
<v Speaker 1>mix and his picks on the Supreme Court, I mean,

0:28:09.600 --> 0:28:12.760
<v Speaker 1>it's just this is no comparison as far as I'm concerned.

0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:14.560
<v Speaker 1>So what are they gonna do for swing voters? Say?

0:28:14.800 --> 0:28:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Forget about his record, forget about the economy. He was

0:28:18.680 --> 0:28:21.960
<v Speaker 1>impeached because he's a criminal, and that then just becomes

0:28:21.960 --> 0:28:24.879
<v Speaker 1>the whole twenty twenty campaign for whoever the Democrat nominee is.

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:29.119
<v Speaker 1>I do want a note to you, and I talk

0:28:29.200 --> 0:28:32.919
<v Speaker 1>about business all the time as a major position, and

0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:35.199
<v Speaker 1>the six people that they have put out that are

0:28:35.200 --> 0:28:38.560
<v Speaker 1>shortlisted are all white guys. I cannot think of one

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:41.400
<v Speaker 1>single public company right now that if they had an

0:28:41.400 --> 0:28:44.760
<v Speaker 1>open senior position like that or a board seat, you

0:28:44.840 --> 0:28:48.880
<v Speaker 1>would never in twenty eighteen see that the shortlist is

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:51.479
<v Speaker 1>one or two, three, four, five, six white guys. Even

0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 1>if you're not going to pick somebody else usually put

0:28:53.960 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 1>on the list, But that isn't Isn't that stunning that

0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the White House has no problem? Yep, these are our six.

0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:03.000
<v Speaker 1>If you saw a public company and put out that

0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:06.239
<v Speaker 1>list right now, they would get collaborate. A lot of

0:29:06.280 --> 0:29:09.400
<v Speaker 1>interesting stuff thrown in there. That was from MSNBC host

0:29:09.400 --> 0:29:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Stephanie Ruler. She's talking about the White House Chief of

0:29:11.880 --> 0:29:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Staff opening right now because, as you know, John Kelly,

0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 1>General Kelly is stepping down. I saw today they're offering

0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:22.440
<v Speaker 1>him for a tell all memoir. Fifteen million dollars. That

0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 1>was in the delimail. I don't think he's gonna you know,

0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's gonna happen. I mean that's I

0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:29.480
<v Speaker 1>don't Kelly doesn't strike me as a tell all guy

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:32.000
<v Speaker 1>at all, so I doubt. But that's a lot of

0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:35.200
<v Speaker 1>money for a book. Fifteen million dollars up front and

0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:39.240
<v Speaker 1>advanced folks fifteen million. If he writes a tell all,

0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:43.960
<v Speaker 1>he won't do it though he's the guy's got the

0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:46.040
<v Speaker 1>guy's got too much honor. I think he's I think

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:48.320
<v Speaker 1>he's you know, ticked off at Trump. Don't get me wrong,

0:29:48.320 --> 0:29:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there's any love lost between those two

0:29:50.520 --> 0:29:52.160
<v Speaker 1>at this point. But he just has too much respect

0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:55.400
<v Speaker 1>for the office, too much respect for the presidency to

0:29:55.840 --> 0:29:58.800
<v Speaker 1>profit in that way in a way that would very

0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:03.240
<v Speaker 1>obviously damage administration, make things more difficult, slow it down.

0:30:04.280 --> 0:30:07.240
<v Speaker 1>But what was so interesting to me about that exchange

0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:10.920
<v Speaker 1>on MSNBC is you have this you know, obviously very

0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:16.600
<v Speaker 1>self righteous lib female host who is saying, you know,

0:30:16.760 --> 0:30:19.400
<v Speaker 1>isn't it so terrible that they're considering six white guys

0:30:19.480 --> 0:30:21.880
<v Speaker 1>for the chief of staff role, and the guests, I

0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:23.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know, the guests is the guess is like, yeah,

0:30:23.960 --> 0:30:25.400
<v Speaker 1>even if they're only going to pick a white guy,

0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:29.360
<v Speaker 1>they should at least pretend like they won't. I'm like, oh, oh,

0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad that we're now at a place where we

0:30:31.680 --> 0:30:35.080
<v Speaker 1>prefer you know, in this in this culture that is

0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:38.520
<v Speaker 1>now obsessed with the appearance of diversity. I mean, not

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:44.840
<v Speaker 1>not true diversity of experience, of background, of class, you know, no, no,

0:30:45.000 --> 0:30:48.160
<v Speaker 1>the the the appearance, the skin deep appearance of diversity

0:30:48.360 --> 0:30:52.920
<v Speaker 1>in all senses. Um that we have a society where

0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:58.400
<v Speaker 1>people would prefer that they go through the pretense of

0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:02.800
<v Speaker 1>being open to other people, uh, you know, than than

0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:04.760
<v Speaker 1>white males for the role that they even if they

0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:06.800
<v Speaker 1>already know they're gonna hire, they gotta pretend like they're

0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna hire somebody who's a minority or a female that

0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:13.960
<v Speaker 1>that's preferable. I'm like, why is that? Why is that

0:31:14.080 --> 0:31:16.560
<v Speaker 1>window dressing a preferable? But you know, it's just an

0:31:16.840 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 1>it's just an interesting thing for me. I just I'm

0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:23.120
<v Speaker 1>pointing that one out. But you know, the real problem here,

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:25.600
<v Speaker 1>and this is an issue, and this is something that

0:31:25.640 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 1>the the Libs and the left have been very effective, um,

0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:38.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, at doing. The real problem is that the

0:31:36.880 --> 0:31:40.680
<v Speaker 1>U jobs in the White House, usually White House jobs

0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:46.040
<v Speaker 1>are such fiercely contested positions. You know, you have this

0:31:46.080 --> 0:31:48.160
<v Speaker 1>guy Nick Airs who was thought that he was going

0:31:48.200 --> 0:31:50.640
<v Speaker 1>to be the next chief of Staff and he's not

0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:53.280
<v Speaker 1>taking In fact, he's leaving the White House altogether. And

0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:55.520
<v Speaker 1>people are burning out. And that's one part of it.

0:31:55.560 --> 0:31:58.600
<v Speaker 1>And that's normal. There's high turnover. There's the pretty high

0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:00.960
<v Speaker 1>turnover for chiefs of staff and the Obama administration and

0:32:01.040 --> 0:32:02.960
<v Speaker 1>it's just the way it is. But you got to

0:32:03.000 --> 0:32:06.320
<v Speaker 1>think about it this way. The value proposition now to

0:32:06.480 --> 0:32:10.320
<v Speaker 1>join the Trump administration, it is real public service to

0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:14.120
<v Speaker 1>do it. Now for anybody with a high profile and

0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:17.960
<v Speaker 1>a successful life on the outside. Because one you're going

0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:22.360
<v Speaker 1>to be entering a very media hostile or hostile rather

0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:28.840
<v Speaker 1>a hostile, media encircled White House an administration. So you're

0:32:28.880 --> 0:32:31.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be under siege from day one from the media,

0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:36.320
<v Speaker 1>and you risk reprisals against you. Never mind, you know,

0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:38.360
<v Speaker 1>usually you come out of the White House, you're supposed

0:32:38.400 --> 0:32:41.719
<v Speaker 1>to get all kinds of plumb job offers. You're supposed

0:32:41.760 --> 0:32:43.640
<v Speaker 1>to get, Oh, you're gonna be on this board and

0:32:43.760 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 1>that board, You're gonna be on this TV show as

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:48.440
<v Speaker 1>a contributor or, you know all these things, right, I

0:32:48.440 --> 0:32:50.440
<v Speaker 1>mean you look at the Obama administration. I mean the

0:32:50.560 --> 0:32:54.480
<v Speaker 1>jobs that people got from the Obama administration. Jake Carney's

0:32:54.520 --> 0:33:00.280
<v Speaker 1>like running content at Amazon. You look at the obamaministration people.

0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean they have just gotten incredible gigs. You know,

0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:08.520
<v Speaker 1>HBO is like throwing money and access at the pods.

0:33:08.560 --> 0:33:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Save the Pod, Save America kids. I mean, you know

0:33:11.760 --> 0:33:14.200
<v Speaker 1>these people all, Oh, you're trying the Obama administration, what

0:33:14.240 --> 0:33:17.600
<v Speaker 1>can we do to elevate you and pay you more money?

0:33:17.640 --> 0:33:20.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know, even if you stink, by the way,

0:33:20.040 --> 0:33:25.040
<v Speaker 1>even if you're not even good and with the Trump administration,

0:33:25.040 --> 0:33:27.600
<v Speaker 1>what you have is the opposite effect, where if you

0:33:27.640 --> 0:33:29.280
<v Speaker 1>go and you work for this administration, now you come

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:32.760
<v Speaker 1>out on the outside. Not only the jobs not there

0:33:32.800 --> 0:33:34.280
<v Speaker 1>for you, there are people that might decide they don't

0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:36.080
<v Speaker 1>want to do business with you anymore. And they might

0:33:36.080 --> 0:33:40.800
<v Speaker 1>not even be never trumpers themselves or hashtag resistance themselves.

0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:44.520
<v Speaker 1>They just don't want the heat. So and then it

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:49.719
<v Speaker 1>becomes this self reinforcing cycle, of a vicious cycle of

0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:53.960
<v Speaker 1>because they can't get the kind of people as quickly

0:33:54.000 --> 0:33:57.400
<v Speaker 1>as they want for some of these roles, then you know,

0:33:57.440 --> 0:33:59.400
<v Speaker 1>the media tells this story of people don't want to

0:33:59.400 --> 0:34:02.000
<v Speaker 1>work for a minute station, which then perpetuates a story

0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:03.840
<v Speaker 1>of how they can't get the people they want. Right.

0:34:04.960 --> 0:34:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I also, I'm just gonna say this right now. I

0:34:06.720 --> 0:34:10.520
<v Speaker 1>find it I find it so obvious and so odious

0:34:11.280 --> 0:34:14.040
<v Speaker 1>that journalists, you know, they always do this thing of

0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:16.200
<v Speaker 1>people that are in the media that work for publican

0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:20.040
<v Speaker 1>administrations are all unqualified. Meanwhile, you know, when Jake Carney

0:34:20.160 --> 0:34:22.360
<v Speaker 1>was made Press secretary and now is running content, you know,

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:26.040
<v Speaker 1>we look at these different people that there were dozens

0:34:26.040 --> 0:34:28.880
<v Speaker 1>of journalists that went in the Obama administration, all different levels.

0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:33.160
<v Speaker 1>None of them we're talked about is unqualified. So journalists

0:34:33.200 --> 0:34:38.160
<v Speaker 1>have no there's no respect that they confer to just

0:34:38.200 --> 0:34:41.839
<v Speaker 1>their fellow journalists. It's their fellow lives, their fellow lives.

0:34:41.920 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Those are the ones that they're willing to go to

0:34:45.719 --> 0:34:48.399
<v Speaker 1>bat for and protect and say, oh, this person so great,

0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:50.560
<v Speaker 1>And I just I saw this with Heather Noward, who look,

0:34:50.719 --> 0:34:52.960
<v Speaker 1>I think is great. I thought she was a star

0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:55.439
<v Speaker 1>at Fox. She was always delightful to work with. She's

0:34:55.640 --> 0:35:00.239
<v Speaker 1>very smart. She's done a very good job as Press

0:35:00.239 --> 0:35:03.200
<v Speaker 1>secretary at the United Nations. And people are saying she's

0:35:03.200 --> 0:35:05.239
<v Speaker 1>not qualified to be US ambassador the United Nations, And

0:35:05.320 --> 0:35:08.920
<v Speaker 1>say why, but she can't. Have You think Samantha Power

0:35:09.000 --> 0:35:15.480
<v Speaker 1>so qualified, some crazy kuk PhD wandering around talking about

0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:19.520
<v Speaker 1>policy all the time that doesn't actually work. You think

0:35:19.560 --> 0:35:23.120
<v Speaker 1>you think Samantha Power is is some you know, some

0:35:23.239 --> 0:35:28.400
<v Speaker 1>great You think Susan Rice with some brilliant foreign policy

0:35:28.480 --> 0:35:31.839
<v Speaker 1>might look at the job she had, but they trash

0:35:31.880 --> 0:35:33.480
<v Speaker 1>and look they do it in part also because she

0:35:33.520 --> 0:35:37.719
<v Speaker 1>fits this moment that the left hates that on the right,

0:35:37.800 --> 0:35:40.200
<v Speaker 1>there are there are and I can't tell you why

0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:41.839
<v Speaker 1>it is I don't know what the reason is. There

0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:49.080
<v Speaker 1>are a number of very prominent, competent, very beautiful I

0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:51.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know if we're not allowed to say that anymore.

0:35:51.719 --> 0:35:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I get in trouble very beautiful women who go on

0:35:56.480 --> 0:35:58.799
<v Speaker 1>to have gone on to other prominent roles of this administration,

0:35:58.880 --> 0:36:01.640
<v Speaker 1>and just you know from at work in general, and

0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:07.919
<v Speaker 1>the left has a particular disdain for the beautiful, conservative, successful,

0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:13.080
<v Speaker 1>intelligent female in politics. They really don't like that. That

0:36:13.360 --> 0:36:16.360
<v Speaker 1>just that stands all the wrong messages as far as

0:36:16.400 --> 0:36:18.120
<v Speaker 1>the left is concerned. So they know they went after Heather.

0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Now at a little bit. I'm sitting here, I'm like,

0:37:31.960 --> 0:37:36.399
<v Speaker 1>the Omaha Steaks Family Gift Package today. I think what's

0:37:36.440 --> 0:37:40.040
<v Speaker 1>interesting about this is people forget history. The Federal Elections

0:37:40.040 --> 0:37:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Commission actually ruled on this with John Edwards. They actually

0:37:43.360 --> 0:37:45.200
<v Speaker 1>came up with a ruling and said that you know

0:37:45.239 --> 0:37:48.600
<v Speaker 1>what the paying of his mistress was not a was

0:37:48.680 --> 0:37:53.920
<v Speaker 1>not a campaign finance violation. We've overcriminalized campaign finance. I

0:37:53.960 --> 0:37:56.160
<v Speaker 1>think we need to wait till we see the full picture. Now.

0:37:56.440 --> 0:38:00.080
<v Speaker 1>The question that's presented just by Michael Cohen's plea and

0:38:00.120 --> 0:38:04.560
<v Speaker 1>the just from filing is a crime directed and coordinated

0:38:04.640 --> 0:38:08.600
<v Speaker 1>by the president, which helped him obtain office sufficient to

0:38:08.640 --> 0:38:12.160
<v Speaker 1>warrant his removal from that office. That's a legitimate question

0:38:12.200 --> 0:38:17.800
<v Speaker 1>to ask. So much lawyering going on here, so much

0:38:18.040 --> 0:38:21.840
<v Speaker 1>contortion in the assessments of the law and in the

0:38:21.880 --> 0:38:24.360
<v Speaker 1>way that people talk about these issues on the left,

0:38:24.880 --> 0:38:28.280
<v Speaker 1>all in an effort to come up with a narrative

0:38:28.320 --> 0:38:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to frame them in such a way that you can

0:38:30.520 --> 0:38:35.880
<v Speaker 1>say things like crime and criminal and as though the

0:38:35.960 --> 0:38:40.080
<v Speaker 1>people involved are bad people, as though there's something really

0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:44.840
<v Speaker 1>substantial at stake here. This is the big lie that

0:38:44.960 --> 0:38:47.160
<v Speaker 1>you get from Democrats when it comes to all things

0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Trump and Muller Special Counsel related. They're trying so hard

0:38:53.960 --> 0:38:57.200
<v Speaker 1>to convince people. They're trying so very hard to make

0:38:57.239 --> 0:39:01.680
<v Speaker 1>them think that there's some really important principle at stake here,

0:39:02.120 --> 0:39:04.879
<v Speaker 1>and what exactly is it when it comes to campaign finance. Well,

0:39:05.120 --> 0:39:09.439
<v Speaker 1>what we're supposed to have public disclosure. I'm not even

0:39:09.480 --> 0:39:11.560
<v Speaker 1>sure that I you know, here's the problem with a

0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:14.160
<v Speaker 1>campaign finance angle, which is what they're going with here.

0:39:15.080 --> 0:39:18.359
<v Speaker 1>They think they're gonna end this president one way or another.

0:39:18.400 --> 0:39:21.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're gonna get him to resign or they're

0:39:21.480 --> 0:39:24.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna beat him in reelection based on it. They're defin

0:39:24.960 --> 0:39:27.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna pach him, as we've been talking about. But they

0:39:27.239 --> 0:39:29.160
<v Speaker 1>think it's gonna be on campaign finance. I just say,

0:39:30.239 --> 0:39:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the campaign finance laws, the more the more you know them,

0:39:33.640 --> 0:39:35.040
<v Speaker 1>the more you pay attention to them, they don't even

0:39:35.040 --> 0:39:39.880
<v Speaker 1>make any sense. These are dumb laws. The way the

0:39:40.400 --> 0:39:44.720
<v Speaker 1>notion that people should be treated as criminals for campaign

0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:46.839
<v Speaker 1>finance issues you look at as you're like, for what,

0:39:47.040 --> 0:39:51.799
<v Speaker 1>who is the victim here? Oh? Public transparency. Liberals get

0:39:51.800 --> 0:39:54.839
<v Speaker 1>in such a little tizzy over this, and then when

0:39:54.840 --> 0:39:57.120
<v Speaker 1>you try to push them on them, push them on

0:39:57.160 --> 0:40:00.080
<v Speaker 1>these matters one, they almost all I have no you

0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:03.360
<v Speaker 1>over the They're just repeating whatever Rachel Mattau or Hayes

0:40:03.600 --> 0:40:06.160
<v Speaker 1>or Anderson Cooper or whoever said on TV last night.

0:40:06.200 --> 0:40:09.440
<v Speaker 1>They're just they're just regurgitating the this is what smart

0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:12.719
<v Speaker 1>people say talking point. That's it. They don't know anything

0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:14.879
<v Speaker 1>about camp in finance. I mean, how many lives even

0:40:14.920 --> 0:40:19.880
<v Speaker 1>know that. For example, packs can be set up for

0:40:20.080 --> 0:40:25.160
<v Speaker 1>different candidates and the pack has no contribution limit whatsoever.

0:40:25.680 --> 0:40:29.920
<v Speaker 1>And before you announce running for the presidency, the pack

0:40:30.000 --> 0:40:32.200
<v Speaker 1>can pay for your travel, can pay for all kinds

0:40:32.200 --> 0:40:34.040
<v Speaker 1>of things. There are so many ways. I mean, this

0:40:34.080 --> 0:40:37.720
<v Speaker 1>is why McCain fine gold. Yeah, that's right. Another legacy

0:40:37.760 --> 0:40:39.759
<v Speaker 1>of McCain that we don't talk about that much. That

0:40:39.920 --> 0:40:43.080
<v Speaker 1>is not good. McCain find gold. All these things is

0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:47.680
<v Speaker 1>a joke. I mean, all you can really credibly try

0:40:47.719 --> 0:40:53.440
<v Speaker 1>to prevent is straight up corruption, pay for play, quid

0:40:53.480 --> 0:40:56.600
<v Speaker 1>pro quo. You know, you can't say vote for this

0:40:56.640 --> 0:40:59.160
<v Speaker 1>bill and I'll give you ten million dollars. But you know,

0:40:59.239 --> 0:41:01.080
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of way is to say do this

0:41:01.080 --> 0:41:03.000
<v Speaker 1>thing for me and I'll do something else for you later.

0:41:03.040 --> 0:41:07.040
<v Speaker 1>And it's not illegal, but it's pretty shady. It's very

0:41:07.080 --> 0:41:12.720
<v Speaker 1>hard absent an ironclad quid pro quo situation. It's very

0:41:12.719 --> 0:41:16.080
<v Speaker 1>hard to really never mind prosecute people just to even

0:41:16.120 --> 0:41:21.319
<v Speaker 1>understand what the lines are. And this is what they

0:41:21.360 --> 0:41:24.560
<v Speaker 1>think they're gonna get Trump on. This is how their

0:41:24.640 --> 0:41:27.879
<v Speaker 1>grand investigation of all things Trump is supposed to end.

0:41:29.239 --> 0:41:33.120
<v Speaker 1>It's pathetic. It's pathetic. You know, Peter King mentioned this.

0:41:34.280 --> 0:41:36.600
<v Speaker 1>He got in this little bit play clip eleven Adam

0:41:36.680 --> 0:41:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Schiff has been talking for two years about evidence of

0:41:38.840 --> 0:41:40.799
<v Speaker 1>a collusion, and so far it has come up with nothing.

0:41:40.960 --> 0:41:43.440
<v Speaker 1>If he's talking about the case in the Southern District

0:41:43.480 --> 0:41:47.359
<v Speaker 1>against Michael Kohn, where they're talking about payoffs that were made, again,

0:41:47.400 --> 0:41:50.399
<v Speaker 1>assuming that those facts that true, I don't think anyone

0:41:50.480 --> 0:41:55.719
<v Speaker 1>I would consider that to be a campaign contribution. Is

0:41:55.719 --> 0:41:58.920
<v Speaker 1>it even a campaign contribution? Forget about whether they can

0:41:58.960 --> 0:42:01.440
<v Speaker 1>prove that this was on a Trump's direction. And Cohen

0:42:01.480 --> 0:42:04.040
<v Speaker 1>has a huge incentive to lie and say it. Well,

0:42:04.200 --> 0:42:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Cohen loses nothing by saying this was all a Trump's direction.

0:42:07.360 --> 0:42:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I remember cohen employer, So he's supposed to be the

0:42:10.160 --> 0:42:12.040
<v Speaker 1>one that understands the legal jeopardy. And this is the

0:42:12.120 --> 0:42:14.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of issue where I mean, if some of you

0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:17.200
<v Speaker 1>were running, would you necessarily have known that you know,

0:42:17.280 --> 0:42:19.399
<v Speaker 1>you can't make the personal payoff. And there's a good

0:42:19.400 --> 0:42:23.680
<v Speaker 1>faith argument that the personal payoff to Stephanie Clifford aka

0:42:23.760 --> 0:42:27.719
<v Speaker 1>Stormy Daniels was not a campaign contribution. So if there's

0:42:27.719 --> 0:42:29.239
<v Speaker 1>a good faith effort that it's not I mean a

0:42:29.239 --> 0:42:31.880
<v Speaker 1>good faith argument, rather that it's not a campaign contribution,

0:42:32.719 --> 0:42:35.399
<v Speaker 1>then you'd probably err on the side of well, I'm

0:42:35.640 --> 0:42:38.239
<v Speaker 1>that's my interpretation of it. This is like taxis I mean,

0:42:38.400 --> 0:42:40.880
<v Speaker 1>I had a we had a guest on today and

0:42:40.960 --> 0:42:43.600
<v Speaker 1>this guy had been he was on rising I remember

0:42:43.640 --> 0:42:46.280
<v Speaker 1>his name. He said he'd been a prosecutor for decades

0:42:46.440 --> 0:42:49.160
<v Speaker 1>and worked in Alexandria for a while for the you know,

0:42:49.200 --> 0:42:52.120
<v Speaker 1>he's an assistant US attorney there. This guy's prosecuted a

0:42:52.160 --> 0:42:54.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of federal cases. And the stuff you're saying to

0:42:54.480 --> 0:42:57.160
<v Speaker 1>me was just bonkers in fact, that we're saying that,

0:42:57.239 --> 0:42:59.600
<v Speaker 1>you know that, yes, they finally got Trump. They've got

0:42:59.640 --> 0:43:01.840
<v Speaker 1>him on they've got them on this on the payoff

0:43:01.880 --> 0:43:04.480
<v Speaker 1>or they're gonna get them on taxes and the tax

0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:07.160
<v Speaker 1>evasion component here And I'm just sitting here, I'm like,

0:43:07.560 --> 0:43:10.680
<v Speaker 1>if they really think, if the DEM's the left really

0:43:10.719 --> 0:43:17.400
<v Speaker 1>believe that campaign finance mickey mouse nonsense, and then turning

0:43:17.440 --> 0:43:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Trump and the Trump organization upside down and ringing out

0:43:19.920 --> 0:43:23.279
<v Speaker 1>their pockets, you know, like an IRS audit, which is

0:43:23.320 --> 0:43:26.279
<v Speaker 1>effectively what Special Counsel Muller, you know, could be up

0:43:26.280 --> 0:43:27.759
<v Speaker 1>to next I think, by the way, I don't think

0:43:27.960 --> 0:43:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he'll draw a line on it. I

0:43:29.160 --> 0:43:32.240
<v Speaker 1>don't think I'll do it. But if that all happens,

0:43:32.840 --> 0:43:37.040
<v Speaker 1>they think the American people will accept that. I mean,

0:43:37.120 --> 0:43:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Donald Rumsfeld used to write a letter to the IRS.

0:43:40.080 --> 0:43:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you know this, used to write

0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:43.760
<v Speaker 1>a letter of the IRS every year, saying your tax code,

0:43:43.800 --> 0:43:49.040
<v Speaker 1>even according to my tax experts, is unintelligible in some ways.

0:43:49.600 --> 0:43:51.759
<v Speaker 1>And so I'm making a good faith effort to pay

0:43:51.800 --> 0:43:54.640
<v Speaker 1>all the taxes owed. But I can't. You know, I'm

0:43:54.640 --> 0:43:57.000
<v Speaker 1>signing my name to this, but I'm not able to

0:43:57.040 --> 0:43:58.680
<v Speaker 1>tell you one hundred percent if I did. I want

0:43:58.719 --> 0:44:00.440
<v Speaker 1>you to know that upfront. But that letter with it

0:44:00.480 --> 0:44:02.720
<v Speaker 1>every year. This is Donald Rumps, the guy with Secretary Defense,

0:44:02.760 --> 0:44:06.120
<v Speaker 1>White House chief of Staff, guy knows some things about

0:44:06.160 --> 0:44:10.040
<v Speaker 1>some stuff. They think that the way to get Trump

0:44:10.120 --> 0:44:13.000
<v Speaker 1>is to go is to find tax irregularities. The tax

0:44:13.040 --> 0:44:17.200
<v Speaker 1>code seventy thousand pages. Any one of you listening right now,

0:44:17.600 --> 0:44:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I promise you I could, at least if we had

0:44:20.160 --> 0:44:23.279
<v Speaker 1>the IRS, go after you aggressively. You know, if we

0:44:23.280 --> 0:44:26.160
<v Speaker 1>could find something that you've done that to tax irregularity,

0:44:26.800 --> 0:44:28.560
<v Speaker 1>and then you get ano, oh is it criminal or

0:44:28.640 --> 0:44:30.279
<v Speaker 1>is it civil? Well, as we see here, this is

0:44:30.280 --> 0:44:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the game of Democrats love to play. The law is

0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:34.799
<v Speaker 1>not really the law until they wanted to be the law.

0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Then they're then they're a hardcore. Then then they want

0:44:38.680 --> 0:44:41.880
<v Speaker 1>people to pay the you know, the harshest finds and

0:44:41.920 --> 0:44:43.520
<v Speaker 1>the biggest punishments. And you know, then all of a

0:44:43.560 --> 0:44:46.399
<v Speaker 1>sudden they become really tough when there's a Republican that's

0:44:46.400 --> 0:44:48.800
<v Speaker 1>in the crosshairs, when there's a Democrat, what it's Hillary

0:44:48.800 --> 0:44:51.200
<v Speaker 1>and her emails, Oh, you know what, there's no real

0:44:51.520 --> 0:44:54.120
<v Speaker 1>she didn't mean to there's a you know, men's right.

0:44:54.239 --> 0:44:56.919
<v Speaker 1>And what you find is that the law is really

0:44:56.960 --> 0:44:59.280
<v Speaker 1>only as just as the people applying the law. Folks.

0:45:00.280 --> 0:45:02.880
<v Speaker 1>That's the under And this is a for a lot

0:45:02.960 --> 0:45:04.799
<v Speaker 1>of people, I guess, a revelation, but it's a really

0:45:04.840 --> 0:45:08.560
<v Speaker 1>unsettling one because when you have the politicization of the

0:45:08.600 --> 0:45:12.640
<v Speaker 1>judicial brands, when you have the politicization of prosecutors' offices,

0:45:13.680 --> 0:45:17.560
<v Speaker 1>particularly in the major urban areas where you got a

0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:20.759
<v Speaker 1>Democrats stronghold on politics, When you've got that going on,

0:45:20.840 --> 0:45:23.919
<v Speaker 1>and then you have the recognition that there's no such

0:45:23.960 --> 0:45:26.480
<v Speaker 1>thing as justice, that the people that are administering justice

0:45:26.520 --> 0:45:30.080
<v Speaker 1>are partisans and are corrupt. You want to talk about

0:45:30.120 --> 0:45:34.759
<v Speaker 1>undermining the system, that is dramatically undermining our system. And

0:45:34.880 --> 0:45:37.920
<v Speaker 1>people should feel like they can't trust the system with

0:45:38.040 --> 0:45:45.120
<v Speaker 1>things like that going on. Absolutely, absolutely should feel very

0:45:45.400 --> 0:45:48.920
<v Speaker 1>strange about whether or not they can trust a system

0:45:49.520 --> 0:45:54.200
<v Speaker 1>like this. And I don't take any pleasure in telling

0:45:54.239 --> 0:45:56.520
<v Speaker 1>you that, because this takes us down a very dark

0:45:56.560 --> 0:46:00.200
<v Speaker 1>path of the country. But campaign finance reform, or you'd

0:46:00.280 --> 0:46:03.440
<v Speaker 1>rather campaign finance laws, That's what I mean. The Libs

0:46:04.080 --> 0:46:07.520
<v Speaker 1>find of many as many ways as they possibly can

0:46:08.400 --> 0:46:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to shovel as much money into politics as they can,

0:46:11.160 --> 0:46:14.040
<v Speaker 1>and then they alter around like a bunch of sanctimonious

0:46:14.120 --> 0:46:17.080
<v Speaker 1>hall monitors, like we want the dark money out of politics. No,

0:46:17.239 --> 0:46:19.759
<v Speaker 1>you don't. Look you got Tom Sti or these other

0:46:19.840 --> 0:46:23.400
<v Speaker 1>idiot billionaires running around throwing money into everything. You get Saurau,

0:46:23.880 --> 0:46:27.799
<v Speaker 1>a spooky dude. You know all these guys. We'll talk

0:46:27.840 --> 0:46:31.600
<v Speaker 1>about Styre later on the show. Campaign finance. That's how

0:46:31.600 --> 0:46:33.279
<v Speaker 1>they think they end the Trump president of These people

0:46:33.280 --> 0:46:36.640
<v Speaker 1>are nuts, but they'll stop at nothing, so they're actually dangerous.

0:46:36.640 --> 0:46:40.960
<v Speaker 1>We have to deal with them. Ho ho, and Merry Christmas,

<v Speaker 1>We know this. We've talked about this on the show.

0:47:50.320 --> 0:47:53.360
<v Speaker 1>One of the few places that used to be a

0:47:53.480 --> 0:47:57.799
<v Speaker 1>bipartisan dare I say safe space where all Americans could

0:47:57.800 --> 0:48:02.280
<v Speaker 1>just find excitement and joy and inspiration and escape and relaxation,

0:48:02.920 --> 0:48:06.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, being a sports fan. Not anymore. And we

0:48:06.920 --> 0:48:09.120
<v Speaker 1>see this time and time again out Now, before we

0:48:09.120 --> 0:48:10.719
<v Speaker 1>get into this, I will say there's a very nice

0:48:10.760 --> 0:48:16.600
<v Speaker 1>story involving Lebron James where he said a ball girl.

0:48:16.600 --> 0:48:18.239
<v Speaker 1>I read about this over the weekend. A ball girl

0:48:18.280 --> 0:48:23.279
<v Speaker 1>had been wearing very unique Lebron James specific shoes time

0:48:23.280 --> 0:48:26.200
<v Speaker 1>and time again, and one time at one of the games.

0:48:26.200 --> 0:48:28.839
<v Speaker 1>She had been a ball girl at multiple games. He said, hey,

0:48:28.880 --> 0:48:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I see you like my shoes and she said, yeah,

0:48:32.640 --> 0:48:34.759
<v Speaker 1>I wear them all the time. You know, I've been

0:48:34.760 --> 0:48:37.520
<v Speaker 1>a fan my whole life. And he gave her a

0:48:37.520 --> 0:48:40.880
<v Speaker 1>pair of like, you know, super unique Lebron shoes as

0:48:40.920 --> 0:48:42.480
<v Speaker 1>you can't get her and she cried and it was

0:48:42.520 --> 0:48:44.680
<v Speaker 1>really nice and it was just a reminder of the

0:48:44.760 --> 0:48:48.200
<v Speaker 1>power of people in sports or in any medium where

0:48:48.239 --> 0:48:50.600
<v Speaker 1>somebody has a following, has an audience, has a voice

0:48:50.800 --> 0:48:53.080
<v Speaker 1>to do something good for somebody. And really, I'm sure

0:48:53.080 --> 0:48:54.839
<v Speaker 1>that guy made her day, probably made her month. I mean,

0:48:55.160 --> 0:48:56.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, if I was a big lebron fan, I mean,

0:48:56.719 --> 0:48:59.680
<v Speaker 1>that's the story I'd remember forever. So you know, that

0:48:59.719 --> 0:49:02.960
<v Speaker 1>does still happened. There's still the and and good things happened.

0:49:03.000 --> 0:49:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Like the Patriots, for example, you know, lose to the

0:49:05.280 --> 0:49:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Miami Dolphins in the last five seconds of the game.

0:49:07.560 --> 0:49:10.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, good things can still happen. That's I know.

0:49:10.360 --> 0:49:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I've bought my peeps in Boston don't boove me. I'm sorry.

0:49:13.760 --> 0:49:17.560
<v Speaker 1>But there's this other thing that occurred over the weekend

0:49:17.840 --> 0:49:20.480
<v Speaker 1>where a Heisman Trophy winner. You know what, producer Mike

0:49:20.600 --> 0:49:22.879
<v Speaker 1>is way more up on football than I am. Uh,

0:49:22.960 --> 0:49:26.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, Mike, what happened here with with Kyler Murray. Yeah,

0:49:26.360 --> 0:49:28.399
<v Speaker 1>so Kyler Murray won the Hisman Trophy and he beat

0:49:28.440 --> 0:49:34.000
<v Speaker 1>out the University of Alabama quarterback to a Tagovailoa, which

0:49:34.080 --> 0:49:40.520
<v Speaker 1>he played for Alabama all tie. So going into I

0:49:40.560 --> 0:49:44.279
<v Speaker 1>think most people in college football believe that to it

0:49:44.480 --> 0:49:47.919
<v Speaker 1>is the much better quarterback. Um, he's on a really

0:49:47.960 --> 0:49:51.799
<v Speaker 1>good team. But uh, you know, Kyler Murray was given

0:49:51.800 --> 0:49:55.440
<v Speaker 1>the Heisman Trophy. Some people say out of you know,

0:49:55.520 --> 0:49:59.200
<v Speaker 1>bias against Bama because they're so good. Um, other people

0:49:59.280 --> 0:50:02.319
<v Speaker 1>on the Oklahoma I'll say, listen, Uh, Oklahoma has a

0:50:02.400 --> 0:50:05.400
<v Speaker 1>really bad defense and it's up to their quarterback to

0:50:05.520 --> 0:50:09.359
<v Speaker 1>put up mad numbers every week, which he does. I

0:50:09.400 --> 0:50:11.480
<v Speaker 1>love all the sports analysis, but you know that we're

0:50:11.560 --> 0:50:14.280
<v Speaker 1>trying to get into the politics. What happened to him? Right? Sorry?

0:50:14.280 --> 0:50:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I carried away? I love love for a second. So

0:50:20.040 --> 0:50:22.160
<v Speaker 1>so this guy, this guy gets in trouble. He gets

0:50:22.160 --> 0:50:25.239
<v Speaker 1>the Heisman trophies, first real national media attention, working his

0:50:25.320 --> 0:50:28.279
<v Speaker 1>whole life to this moment, nicest moment probably he's certainly

0:50:28.320 --> 0:50:32.399
<v Speaker 1>the most high profile moment of his life. And they

0:50:32.440 --> 0:50:37.400
<v Speaker 1>find out that when he was fifteen, he tweeted something

0:50:37.440 --> 0:50:41.160
<v Speaker 1>where he called one of his friends a a mean

0:50:41.360 --> 0:50:45.160
<v Speaker 1>word for you know, a slur for gay people. Right,

0:50:45.239 --> 0:50:49.759
<v Speaker 1>isn't that? Isn't that what happened here? Yeah? And multiple

0:50:49.840 --> 0:50:53.120
<v Speaker 1>news outlets wrote stories on this. So I mean, how

0:50:53.200 --> 0:50:54.800
<v Speaker 1>this guy, if he's getting the Heisman, he's got to

0:50:54.840 --> 0:50:58.759
<v Speaker 1>be like what twenty twenty one. Yeah, he's uh, he's young.

0:50:58.840 --> 0:51:01.799
<v Speaker 1>He's uh a senior. He's probably twenty two because he

0:51:01.800 --> 0:51:03.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, he also got drafted by the Oakland A

0:51:03.440 --> 0:51:06.320
<v Speaker 1>so he's also a baseball player. But he was fifteen

0:51:06.440 --> 0:51:11.800
<v Speaker 1>years old. USA Today did a piece old homophobic tweets

0:51:12.400 --> 0:51:17.879
<v Speaker 1>resurface after he wins Heisman Trophy and and they came

0:51:17.920 --> 0:51:20.759
<v Speaker 1>after him, and he said that. Kyler Murray wrote, I

0:51:20.800 --> 0:51:22.799
<v Speaker 1>apologized for the tweets that have come to light from

0:51:22.840 --> 0:51:25.640
<v Speaker 1>when I was fourteen and fifteen. I used a poor

0:51:25.800 --> 0:51:27.759
<v Speaker 1>choice of word that doesn't reflect who I am or

0:51:27.760 --> 0:51:31.000
<v Speaker 1>what I believe. I did not intend to single out

0:51:31.120 --> 0:51:34.279
<v Speaker 1>any individual or group. You know, I've said this before. Man,

0:51:34.400 --> 0:51:36.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, not only I got two problems with this, Mike.

0:51:37.239 --> 0:51:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Not only did they go I mean they're going after yeah,

0:51:40.520 --> 0:51:43.120
<v Speaker 1>he's twenty one now. Not only they go after him

0:51:43.480 --> 0:51:45.360
<v Speaker 1>for what he said when he was one kids fourteen.

0:51:45.360 --> 0:51:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, when you're a fourteen, you're you don't know anything. Yeah,

0:51:48.440 --> 0:51:50.799
<v Speaker 1>you're a kid. You're a fourteen year old kid. They

0:51:50.880 --> 0:51:53.480
<v Speaker 1>go everybody's fourteen. But then on top of that, I'd

0:51:53.480 --> 0:51:55.640
<v Speaker 1>also say that, you know, you go back, what that

0:51:55.680 --> 0:51:59.400
<v Speaker 1>would be seven years ago, and you know, language and

0:51:59.440 --> 0:52:02.640
<v Speaker 1>people sense sativity has changed a lot, and you know

0:52:02.680 --> 0:52:05.960
<v Speaker 1>what's considered. You know, I think about you know, people

0:52:06.080 --> 0:52:09.240
<v Speaker 1>would would use the r et a r D word

0:52:09.400 --> 0:52:11.799
<v Speaker 1>when I was growing up. They would use that as

0:52:11.840 --> 0:52:15.560
<v Speaker 1>a synonym for for dumb all I mean And now

0:52:15.680 --> 0:52:19.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not somebody who is particularly h you know, I

0:52:20.000 --> 0:52:22.200
<v Speaker 1>think that language should be free and even and even

0:52:22.239 --> 0:52:25.000
<v Speaker 1>salting sometimes. But when I that actually bothers me. Now,

0:52:25.040 --> 0:52:26.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm actually somebody who's like, you really can't

0:52:26.880 --> 0:52:29.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's not okay. You know, I'm having spent

0:52:29.120 --> 0:52:32.480
<v Speaker 1>time around people that have that have that issue, have downs.

0:52:33.200 --> 0:52:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I really react very strongly to anybody thrown around that

0:52:36.640 --> 0:52:38.880
<v Speaker 1>word like it's some way to make fun of people.

0:52:39.160 --> 0:52:41.600
<v Speaker 1>But I didn't when I was a kid. People run

0:52:41.640 --> 0:52:43.799
<v Speaker 1>around saying that all the time. And you know the

0:52:43.840 --> 0:52:46.200
<v Speaker 1>word I'm thinking, he used a three letter word that

0:52:46.239 --> 0:52:49.760
<v Speaker 1>begins with an F here, if memory serves, And while

0:52:49.920 --> 0:52:54.279
<v Speaker 1>certainly the context of defaming somebody or or or assaulting

0:52:54.320 --> 0:52:57.600
<v Speaker 1>somebody for their their sexual orientation is is heinous and wrong,

0:52:58.160 --> 0:52:59.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of kids said a lot of things that

0:53:00.040 --> 0:53:02.040
<v Speaker 1>were stupid and didn't realize how stupid they were when

0:53:02.080 --> 0:53:07.080
<v Speaker 1>they were kids. I guess I'm alone on this one.

0:53:07.080 --> 0:53:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Where do you go, Mike? Now, I'm here, and I

0:53:08.520 --> 0:53:10.400
<v Speaker 1>totally agree with you, man, I think it's out of control.

0:53:10.520 --> 0:53:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you think about how many of your

0:53:12.120 --> 0:53:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you really think about how many of

0:53:13.880 --> 0:53:17.759
<v Speaker 1>your peers would run around saying certain things, and you know,

0:53:17.840 --> 0:53:21.440
<v Speaker 1>calling each other certain things and not intending to attack

0:53:22.000 --> 0:53:24.520
<v Speaker 1>any group per se, but just you know, using these

0:53:24.560 --> 0:53:26.920
<v Speaker 1>words as pejoratives, like I mean, you know, you know,

0:53:26.960 --> 0:53:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, people use the word people use the word,

0:53:30.040 --> 0:53:33.279
<v Speaker 1>let's say, retard in ways when I was growing up

0:53:33.280 --> 0:53:36.520
<v Speaker 1>that you would never do it now. And they weren't

0:53:36.520 --> 0:53:40.920
<v Speaker 1>saying it about people that actually have severe disabilities. They

0:53:40.920 --> 0:53:42.520
<v Speaker 1>were just saying it through each other like they thought

0:53:42.520 --> 0:53:44.840
<v Speaker 1>it was a funny to say. I'm not excusing behavior.

0:53:44.840 --> 0:53:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying, we're kids. Kids are stupid, and they're

0:53:47.280 --> 0:53:50.120
<v Speaker 1>using the language that's around them, and to go after

0:53:50.200 --> 0:53:52.280
<v Speaker 1>this guy and this way. Now it just feels like nobody,

0:53:52.280 --> 0:53:55.120
<v Speaker 1>like Mike, if they go after anybody. I mean, I

0:53:55.160 --> 0:53:57.200
<v Speaker 1>wonder if you asked Barack Obama, like, did he ever

0:53:57.280 --> 0:53:59.520
<v Speaker 1>say R E T A R D about somebody he

0:53:59.600 --> 0:54:02.000
<v Speaker 1>probably did. Yeah, so does does he never get to

0:54:02.040 --> 0:54:03.959
<v Speaker 1>talk in public again? I mean, just you know, where

0:54:03.960 --> 0:54:05.320
<v Speaker 1>do we draw the line here? If you if you

0:54:05.320 --> 0:54:08.040
<v Speaker 1>can get in trouble when you're fourteen, it just gets

0:54:08.080 --> 0:54:10.319
<v Speaker 1>me fired up. You heard about the Kevin Hart thing too,

0:54:10.360 --> 0:54:12.680
<v Speaker 1>right along the same lines. No, what was it? Oh no,

0:54:12.719 --> 0:54:15.239
<v Speaker 1>that's why he can't host the Oscars? But what did

0:54:15.239 --> 0:54:17.719
<v Speaker 1>he say? Again? The same thing past tweets like from

0:54:17.840 --> 0:54:21.120
<v Speaker 1>years ago, um, sort of the same subject matter. M

0:54:21.320 --> 0:54:26.480
<v Speaker 1>used some homophobic slurs many years ago and came out

0:54:26.719 --> 0:54:29.840
<v Speaker 1>and he sort of didn't really apologize. He was like, listen,

0:54:30.080 --> 0:54:33.239
<v Speaker 1>He's like, I'm sorry for it, but I'm an evolving person.

0:54:33.280 --> 0:54:35.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm growing person. I'm not gonna like go back like

0:54:35.960 --> 0:54:39.120
<v Speaker 1>years and years ago after everything I've done and apologize.

0:54:39.120 --> 0:54:40.960
<v Speaker 1>So if you want me out of the Oscars, I'm

0:54:40.960 --> 0:54:43.120
<v Speaker 1>out fine. And like, people got really bent out of

0:54:43.560 --> 0:54:47.040
<v Speaker 1>his reaction to it and him stepping down. Now it's

0:54:47.080 --> 0:54:49.040
<v Speaker 1>crazy because now nobody wants to host the Oscars. People

0:54:49.040 --> 0:54:50.160
<v Speaker 1>are like, it's not you know, you know, I was

0:54:50.160 --> 0:54:51.920
<v Speaker 1>reading articles today. People in Hollywood are like, you know,

0:54:51.960 --> 0:54:53.759
<v Speaker 1>it's not worth it hosting the Oscars because if you're

0:54:53.760 --> 0:54:55.879
<v Speaker 1>gonna get ripped over to Coles for everything you've ever done.

0:54:56.760 --> 0:54:58.959
<v Speaker 1>Do you mean there's just so many of these humorless,

0:54:59.440 --> 0:55:05.200
<v Speaker 1>stone face social justice tyrants running around that you know,

0:55:05.239 --> 0:55:07.520
<v Speaker 1>they can't even keep up with their with their usage

0:55:07.520 --> 0:55:10.400
<v Speaker 1>of language and what's accepted. And you know, and you

0:55:10.520 --> 0:55:12.560
<v Speaker 1>think they'd get the things. You think they'd get tired

0:55:12.560 --> 0:55:14.759
<v Speaker 1>of it after a while. But it doesn't seem like

0:55:14.760 --> 0:55:16.879
<v Speaker 1>this gets better. Man, it just seems like keeps getting worse.

0:55:17.320 --> 0:55:19.960
<v Speaker 1>It's it's usually wind it usually winds up resulting on

0:55:20.000 --> 0:55:22.120
<v Speaker 1>liberal on nibble crime. They usually wind up eating their own.

0:55:22.120 --> 0:55:24.640
<v Speaker 1>It was just hilarious. Oh, absolutely, you know, absolutely, And

0:55:24.880 --> 0:55:26.840
<v Speaker 1>then they had this whole look it's you know, the

0:55:27.360 --> 0:55:29.120
<v Speaker 1>one of the things with the with the Me Too movement,

0:55:29.160 --> 0:55:31.880
<v Speaker 1>for example, is they didn't think they were gonna have

0:55:31.920 --> 0:55:34.600
<v Speaker 1>to throw a US Senator Al Franken under the bus.

0:55:34.640 --> 0:55:37.520
<v Speaker 1>But you know, they established the rules. Those are the rules.

0:55:37.600 --> 0:55:41.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, they they this stuff boomerangs back on them sometimes,

0:55:41.080 --> 0:55:43.040
<v Speaker 1>so you know, and now people are saying, maybe Franken

0:55:43.080 --> 0:55:44.520
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't have even resigned. I mean, you know, I'm not

0:55:44.520 --> 0:55:46.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna get into that, but I'm just saying that, you know,

0:55:47.320 --> 0:55:50.520
<v Speaker 1>they make these rules and then they're forced to your point,

0:55:50.560 --> 0:55:52.239
<v Speaker 1>they're forced to live by them too. At least at

0:55:52.239 --> 0:55:54.279
<v Speaker 1>some level, there's still double standards, but when there's an

0:55:54.280 --> 0:55:57.319
<v Speaker 1>egregious violation of them. And look, I mean, Kevin Hart's

0:55:57.360 --> 0:55:59.520
<v Speaker 1>a guy who you know, I think would usually be

0:55:59.520 --> 0:56:02.520
<v Speaker 1>considering good standing in Hollywood and on the left and Democrats.

0:56:02.520 --> 0:56:06.960
<v Speaker 1>He's very famous and wealthy African American entertainer. But you know,

0:56:07.160 --> 0:56:10.000
<v Speaker 1>he there's certain certain red lines and he crossed one

0:56:10.000 --> 0:56:12.560
<v Speaker 1>of them for them. So from Philadelphia, just throw that

0:56:12.600 --> 0:56:15.799
<v Speaker 1>in there. He's from Philly. Really. Oh yeah, you know,

0:56:15.840 --> 0:56:17.640
<v Speaker 1>we gotta do like a one year We'll have to

0:56:17.680 --> 0:56:20.239
<v Speaker 1>do like a like a charity event. We'll auction off

0:56:20.239 --> 0:56:24.360
<v Speaker 1>for Team Buck. You know, a producer Mike personal guided

0:56:24.400 --> 0:56:27.960
<v Speaker 1>tour of Philly, like Producer Mike's version of Philly. Yeah,

0:56:27.960 --> 0:56:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I think they'd be interesting. It starts the Rocky Statue

0:56:29.920 --> 0:56:32.560
<v Speaker 1>and ends at a cheese stake place. There we go.

0:56:33.000 --> 0:56:35.000
<v Speaker 1>That's what I like to hear. So this guy Kyler,

0:56:35.080 --> 0:56:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I think he apologized, which I usually say, don't apologize.

0:56:38.040 --> 0:56:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the right move. But you know, and

0:56:39.600 --> 0:56:42.000
<v Speaker 1>if you guys have any actual football questions, go to

0:56:42.040 --> 0:56:44.760
<v Speaker 1>producer Mike with those I'll be back in just a moment.

0:56:49.200 --> 0:56:51.319
<v Speaker 1>Just let's get beyond the barriers talent, because they're going

0:56:51.360 --> 0:56:56.520
<v Speaker 1>to hit US police throwing these tear gas kind of

0:56:56.560 --> 0:57:25.120
<v Speaker 1>sis and bombs to scalp people. These nationwide protests continue

0:57:25.160 --> 0:57:27.680
<v Speaker 1>to rock France. Things got rowdy over the weekend. You

0:57:27.800 --> 0:57:31.480
<v Speaker 1>heard some of it there the Jul Jean. The Yellow

0:57:31.560 --> 0:57:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Vests have already got some concessions from the government, but

0:57:35.240 --> 0:57:37.800
<v Speaker 1>they're not stopping there. In fact, we have a new

0:57:37.920 --> 0:57:41.640
<v Speaker 1>unofficial list of demands from the Yellow vests that includes

0:57:42.240 --> 0:57:45.280
<v Speaker 1>a cut to taxes to twenty five percent of GDP,

0:57:45.480 --> 0:57:48.800
<v Speaker 1>which is half of the current level, better public services,

0:57:49.560 --> 0:57:53.480
<v Speaker 1>massive hiring of civil servants, leaving the EU and NATO,

0:57:54.080 --> 0:57:58.360
<v Speaker 1>defaulting on public debt, a new constitution, less immigration, and

0:57:58.600 --> 0:58:03.520
<v Speaker 1>scrapping the CFA Frank in West Africa. Huh. To make

0:58:03.560 --> 0:58:06.040
<v Speaker 1>sense of all this, we have Sir Rob Amari with

0:58:06.160 --> 0:58:09.840
<v Speaker 1>us now. He is an editor of Opinion Collins over

0:58:09.920 --> 0:58:12.440
<v Speaker 1>at the New York Post. Sir Rob, great to have

0:58:12.480 --> 0:58:16.680
<v Speaker 1>you on. Thanks for having me Buckah. So what do

0:58:16.720 --> 0:58:18.720
<v Speaker 1>you what do you make of? First of all, what

0:58:18.800 --> 0:58:21.040
<v Speaker 1>have they gotten so far in terms of concessions, and

0:58:21.360 --> 0:58:23.080
<v Speaker 1>what do you think of some of the some of

0:58:23.120 --> 0:58:26.480
<v Speaker 1>the demands they're thrown out there now. Well, on the

0:58:26.520 --> 0:58:30.760
<v Speaker 1>immediate concessions, remember bucks to sing that set this sauce,

0:58:31.080 --> 0:58:37.880
<v Speaker 1>was President Emmanuel McCrone foolish plan to hike up attacks

0:58:38.000 --> 0:58:42.919
<v Speaker 1>on diesel and fuel, which obviously hits people who live

0:58:43.560 --> 0:58:47.840
<v Speaker 1>in the rural areas and working class people who need

0:58:47.880 --> 0:58:51.439
<v Speaker 1>to drive around the hardest um, and does not hit

0:58:51.520 --> 0:58:55.680
<v Speaker 1>his own constituency of the sort of urban elite types

0:58:56.320 --> 0:59:02.800
<v Speaker 1>who elected him. So that was the immediate I guess demand.

0:59:02.880 --> 0:59:06.960
<v Speaker 1>But since then it's gotten a little bit uh far

0:59:07.040 --> 0:59:09.320
<v Speaker 1>beyond that. We can talk about that. But Macron so

0:59:09.360 --> 0:59:12.360
<v Speaker 1>far has said he's willing to suspend the tax for

0:59:12.400 --> 0:59:15.640
<v Speaker 1>six months, and he's but he's been he's been decidedly

0:59:15.680 --> 0:59:18.680
<v Speaker 1>sort of unwilling to address the protest directly because he

0:59:18.720 --> 0:59:22.200
<v Speaker 1>has this sort of imperious style, you know, he styles

0:59:22.280 --> 0:59:25.240
<v Speaker 1>himself a new de Gaul or even a new Napoleon,

0:59:25.640 --> 0:59:28.480
<v Speaker 1>so he can't deign to talk to the people himself,

0:59:28.520 --> 0:59:32.480
<v Speaker 1>and he's dispatched the Prime Minister to do the persuasion. Um.

0:59:32.760 --> 0:59:37.240
<v Speaker 1>But that's the only immediate concession. Beyond that, there as

0:59:37.280 --> 0:59:41.480
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned, they have a bunch of h demands that

0:59:41.840 --> 0:59:45.400
<v Speaker 1>are this new mix of I would say, of what

0:59:45.640 --> 0:59:47.600
<v Speaker 1>used to be called a far right and the far left.

0:59:47.680 --> 0:59:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Limits on immigration, but also pulling out of native um uh,

0:59:52.800 --> 0:59:55.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, he pull out of the EU, but also

0:59:55.400 --> 0:59:58.720
<v Speaker 1>cut taxes but also increased spending. It's a it's a

0:59:58.800 --> 1:00:02.000
<v Speaker 1>mish MANA I'll have to recognize is that the actual

1:00:02.040 --> 1:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>movement is this grassroots movement fueled by fueled by fuel issues,

1:00:07.400 --> 1:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>let's say, and then all sorts of other groups have

1:00:10.520 --> 1:00:13.400
<v Speaker 1>attached themselves to it and each are pushing their an agenda.

1:00:13.480 --> 1:00:16.760
<v Speaker 1>And it's not even clear what the documents that the

1:00:16.840 --> 1:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>movement puts out even reflects them that the actual people

1:00:19.800 --> 1:00:22.840
<v Speaker 1>who are coming out, it's all very confused and very French.

1:00:23.200 --> 1:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>I found it. Yeah, I mean, look, but when the

1:00:24.840 --> 1:00:27.360
<v Speaker 1>French protests they go big, we can say that at least, right,

1:00:27.400 --> 1:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>they don't. They don't when they decide that they're really

1:00:29.400 --> 1:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>going to make some noise in the streets, they're not

1:00:31.000 --> 1:00:34.160
<v Speaker 1>messing around. And they have based on the polling I've

1:00:34.160 --> 1:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>seen eighty percent support which for a protest movement like this,

1:00:37.840 --> 1:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>for the for the general population to overwhelmingly back them up.

1:00:41.720 --> 1:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Just goes to show that you know that the French

1:00:44.320 --> 1:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>government doesn't have that much of a choice at least

1:00:46.760 --> 1:00:50.760
<v Speaker 1>backing off of, as you said, the tax on gasoline

1:00:50.760 --> 1:00:54.040
<v Speaker 1>because of climate change. But I thought this was fascinating

1:00:54.040 --> 1:00:57.160
<v Speaker 1>because it raised the issue of other taxes and and

1:00:57.160 --> 1:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>and the demand for less time is on working people

1:01:01.320 --> 1:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>in general. I mean, there are two things that this

1:01:03.240 --> 1:01:05.960
<v Speaker 1>brings the mind for me, uh Sarab. One of them

1:01:06.040 --> 1:01:09.400
<v Speaker 1>is that you saw this initial response from some people

1:01:09.440 --> 1:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>on the left that oh gosh, you know that they

1:01:12.440 --> 1:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>can't be for less taxation because that seems that seems

1:01:15.760 --> 1:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>like a conservative American talking point, like there's there's a

1:01:19.320 --> 1:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>there's a sense in the American left, in our own

1:01:21.680 --> 1:01:26.040
<v Speaker 1>commentariat that any any demand for less taxation is inherently

1:01:26.080 --> 1:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>a conservative position, even in a place like France that

1:01:28.920 --> 1:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>has a percentage of GDP as a vast tax it

1:01:31.720 --> 1:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>really high levels of taxation. And then and then you know,

1:01:34.880 --> 1:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>the other part re thought is inustry is just that

1:01:36.880 --> 1:01:39.439
<v Speaker 1>you see that the real money, you know, the French

1:01:39.520 --> 1:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>tried this millionaire's tax, and look the reason this interest Americans,

1:01:42.800 --> 1:01:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I think other than just it's a pretty engaging story

1:01:45.640 --> 1:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>is that we see your parallels on our own situation,

1:01:48.080 --> 1:01:51.160
<v Speaker 1>but the government is basically trying to get away with this. Well,

1:01:51.200 --> 1:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>we'll just have the rich pay taxes until it comes

1:01:53.760 --> 1:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>time to actually raise the reven and then you realize

1:01:56.040 --> 1:01:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the rich don't have enough money to pay for all

1:01:58.000 --> 1:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. The middle class has to a and they

1:02:01.000 --> 1:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>have to pay more than they want to. Yeah. I mean, look,

1:02:04.840 --> 1:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>France has had unemployment at about ten percent for as

1:02:10.040 --> 1:02:13.920
<v Speaker 1>long as anyone can remember, maybe a generation. It has

1:02:15.600 --> 1:02:17.960
<v Speaker 1>one in four young people are unemployed, which is a

1:02:18.000 --> 1:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>catastrophic number in the smartest French people. Often you'll find

1:02:22.240 --> 1:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>working in places like New York and San Francisco and London,

1:02:25.560 --> 1:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>and not in France. It has this vast state which

1:02:30.560 --> 1:02:32.800
<v Speaker 1>takes up I mean, it's, as you mentioned, if the

1:02:32.840 --> 1:02:35.080
<v Speaker 1>size of the state is and the public debt is

1:02:35.120 --> 1:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>larger than the than the DPU, and these are issues

1:02:39.240 --> 1:02:41.960
<v Speaker 1>that Macron actually wants to fix. Any part of his

1:02:42.080 --> 1:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>program is to try to fix that. I think the

1:02:45.640 --> 1:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>mistake that he made was to tack on this sort

1:02:48.320 --> 1:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>of green nonsense, kind of alarmism to it with this

1:02:54.040 --> 1:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>fuel hike, which wasn't just the fuel hike. I'll tell

1:02:57.200 --> 1:02:59.520
<v Speaker 1>you a couple of other things that they've reduced. They've

1:02:59.520 --> 1:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>reduced speed limit on many roads to like fifty miles

1:03:04.000 --> 1:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>an hour. And again for people who need to get

1:03:06.760 --> 1:03:09.919
<v Speaker 1>places fast, it drives you insane. You can only drive

1:03:09.960 --> 1:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>fifty miles an hours. They've passed all these new regulations

1:03:13.520 --> 1:03:15.760
<v Speaker 1>that make many of the older cars on the road

1:03:16.040 --> 1:03:20.959
<v Speaker 1>illegal to drive. And people were hour raised and Macrone said,

1:03:21.560 --> 1:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'll give you forty five hundred towards

1:03:23.840 --> 1:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>the pert dollars toward the purchase of a Tesla orn

1:03:26.800 --> 1:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>electric car, which is the most kind of Mary Antoinette

1:03:29.680 --> 1:03:33.800
<v Speaker 1>elitist kind of thing. Let them meet Teslas. So that

1:03:33.800 --> 1:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>that was I mean, his mistakes. I think if if

1:03:36.000 --> 1:03:38.080
<v Speaker 1>he had just stuck to his economic performance, and I

1:03:38.080 --> 1:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>think the most of the country recognizes that its labor

1:03:40.760 --> 1:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>rules are too restrictive for employers and discourages hiring and

1:03:44.360 --> 1:03:47.160
<v Speaker 1>firing taxes are too high on job creators. I think

1:03:47.160 --> 1:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>people got that public sector unions have too much power.

1:03:50.160 --> 1:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>People got that, but it all got muddled up with

1:03:53.360 --> 1:03:55.920
<v Speaker 1>this stuff, plus a kind of a bunch of crazy

1:03:55.920 --> 1:03:59.320
<v Speaker 1>immigration stuff that he's he's added on. He's signed up

1:03:59.320 --> 1:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>the country for this global immigration pack which is going

1:04:02.560 --> 1:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>to get signed with the United Nations this week in

1:04:04.480 --> 1:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Marrakesh and Morocco, which again many French people find distasteful

1:04:08.280 --> 1:04:10.880
<v Speaker 1>because they think that they've legitimate. I think I felt

1:04:10.880 --> 1:04:13.040
<v Speaker 1>that that there's had there's been too much immigration, the

1:04:13.040 --> 1:04:18.040
<v Speaker 1>ones we are already here unassimilating. So, you know, Macrone

1:04:18.800 --> 1:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't do what he really needs to do is to

1:04:20.640 --> 1:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>focus on just fixing the economy by reducing the burden

1:04:23.760 --> 1:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>on taxpayers and workers and job creators. Instead, he muddled

1:04:27.960 --> 1:04:31.160
<v Speaker 1>his message with all this sort of other kind of

1:04:31.280 --> 1:04:35.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, utopian liberal agenda, and it all exploded. Yeah,

1:04:35.880 --> 1:04:39.000
<v Speaker 1>that's that is a very accurate description. It has definitely exploded.

1:04:39.040 --> 1:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>It has blown up in the French states face. By

1:04:42.680 --> 1:04:45.120
<v Speaker 1>the way, I'm just assuming you know about Brexit, because

1:04:45.160 --> 1:04:46.640
<v Speaker 1>you know about all these things. What do you think

1:04:47.040 --> 1:04:49.720
<v Speaker 1>give give the folks stays some background on what Teresa

1:04:49.760 --> 1:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>May they delayed this Brexit vote, but I thought we

1:04:53.000 --> 1:04:55.720
<v Speaker 1>already had a vote. That's what Brexit was. What's going

1:04:55.760 --> 1:04:58.320
<v Speaker 1>on here? Okay, So in two thousand and six, seeing

1:04:58.360 --> 1:05:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the British people voted to leave the European Union by

1:05:03.840 --> 1:05:06.880
<v Speaker 1>both wide majority and some of the highest turnouts in

1:05:07.040 --> 1:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>British electoral history ever. Um then the question became, okay,

1:05:12.440 --> 1:05:15.600
<v Speaker 1>how do you actually divorce Britain from the European Union?

1:05:16.040 --> 1:05:21.040
<v Speaker 1>And what many Brexit supporters feel is that the Prime

1:05:21.040 --> 1:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Minister May, in her negotiations with the Bliss Brussels, went

1:05:26.320 --> 1:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>soft and created this situation which they've gone up this

1:05:31.760 --> 1:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>agreement together where Britain would remain subject to many of

1:05:36.760 --> 1:05:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the European Unions administrative rules and regulations in order to

1:05:41.120 --> 1:05:43.840
<v Speaker 1>be able to trade with the EU. So, in other words,

1:05:43.840 --> 1:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>they're getting really none of the benefits of being a

1:05:46.840 --> 1:05:49.360
<v Speaker 1>truly independent sovereign nation, which is what the heart of

1:05:49.400 --> 1:05:54.720
<v Speaker 1>the demand was, but they're not. They're also not getting

1:05:54.760 --> 1:05:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the kind regulatory freedom that they wanted. So it's just

1:05:57.840 --> 1:06:00.439
<v Speaker 1>sort of been like what happens to Brexit And that's

1:06:00.440 --> 1:06:03.800
<v Speaker 1>really what's happening right now is is to what extent

1:06:04.360 --> 1:06:09.160
<v Speaker 1>can the people through Parliament get to an agreement that

1:06:09.240 --> 1:06:12.600
<v Speaker 1>actually reflects a real Brexit and not a kind of

1:06:13.480 --> 1:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>soft situation in which they're they're not only getting the rules,

1:06:16.960 --> 1:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>but now they're not even at the table to help

1:06:19.400 --> 1:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>shape the rules at least Back in the day, they

1:06:22.280 --> 1:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Britain was at the table at the European Union, so

1:06:24.720 --> 1:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>they could have a say on its bureaucratic overreach. Now

1:06:28.560 --> 1:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>they're out of it. They're still subject to rule and

1:06:30.640 --> 1:06:32.640
<v Speaker 1>they don't have a say at the at the table

1:06:32.720 --> 1:06:35.360
<v Speaker 1>the councils of Europe. So that's the real heart of

1:06:35.360 --> 1:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the matter is can Prime Minister may kind of find

1:06:39.080 --> 1:06:43.919
<v Speaker 1>her spine to negotiate a tougher deal with Brussels that

1:06:44.000 --> 1:06:47.040
<v Speaker 1>really gives voice to the vote that was taken in

1:06:47.080 --> 1:06:49.480
<v Speaker 1>two thousands weifteen. I had my doubts about various aspects

1:06:49.520 --> 1:06:52.520
<v Speaker 1>of Brexit, but as a small d Democrat, the people

1:06:52.600 --> 1:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>deserve to get the thing that they voted for, which

1:06:55.800 --> 1:06:58.840
<v Speaker 1>is a real Brexit. Yeah, I mean, it's it's pretty

1:06:58.880 --> 1:07:02.240
<v Speaker 1>remarkable that they could have a plebiscite, right, that they

1:07:02.240 --> 1:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>could have the people decide, and then once the people

1:07:05.000 --> 1:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>have decided, now the establishment politicians are like, well, we're

1:07:09.240 --> 1:07:11.439
<v Speaker 1>not sure they really get what they know, they don't

1:07:11.440 --> 1:07:13.959
<v Speaker 1>get what they want. That's not how this goes, which

1:07:14.000 --> 1:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>is a pretty bad precedent. I mean, I've got to

1:07:15.840 --> 1:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>say I think that that's it ties into a lot

1:07:18.360 --> 1:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>of the general feelings right now about the elites and

1:07:21.320 --> 1:07:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the establishment in the UK and in this country too.

1:07:24.480 --> 1:07:27.840
<v Speaker 1>And just to that end, I mean the market this morning,

1:07:27.840 --> 1:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean how this affects us. Do you think that

1:07:30.320 --> 1:07:32.640
<v Speaker 1>this really uh, this this rattled things? I mean I

1:07:32.680 --> 1:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>know that it recovered, but people were telling me all

1:07:35.400 --> 1:07:38.480
<v Speaker 1>the Brexit Brexit fears why the market had to dive

1:07:38.560 --> 1:07:42.320
<v Speaker 1>this morning. Markets respond to a variety of things, and

1:07:42.560 --> 1:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>so I wouldn't just put it down to one, but

1:07:44.600 --> 1:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>it's certainly one of them. Is this sort of is

1:07:47.080 --> 1:07:50.720
<v Speaker 1>lack of clarity is very makes everyone nervous, and that's

1:07:50.760 --> 1:07:55.640
<v Speaker 1>one problem. And to your point about the way European

1:07:55.680 --> 1:07:58.840
<v Speaker 1>elites work, it's exactly right, they sort of when they

1:07:58.880 --> 1:08:02.320
<v Speaker 1>will say we will hold as many votes it takes

1:08:02.360 --> 1:08:04.840
<v Speaker 1>to reach the right outcome by the right. Yeah, it's

1:08:04.880 --> 1:08:12.200
<v Speaker 1>it's populism without the populie. It's populism without actually letting people. Yeah, exactly,

1:08:12.240 --> 1:08:15.240
<v Speaker 1>exactly all right, Well, Sarabamara. Everybody check out his work

1:08:15.320 --> 1:08:17.760
<v Speaker 1>at The New York Post and I also follow him

1:08:17.760 --> 1:08:21.439
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter. So Rob always appreciate you making the times.

1:08:21.800 --> 1:08:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Tabe. We'll be right back. So basically, when

1:08:26.240 --> 1:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>you think about how we're actually going to succeed and

1:08:28.760 --> 1:08:32.879
<v Speaker 1>actually kick their ass. It's going to be based on justice,

1:08:33.880 --> 1:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>environmental justice, economic justice, and all right, that's right, yeah, yeah,

1:08:39.760 --> 1:08:41.880
<v Speaker 1>And so when we look about what's going to happen

1:08:41.880 --> 1:08:45.320
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty, we are going to have to crust

1:08:45.360 --> 1:08:48.280
<v Speaker 1>these people. Honestly, I think the whole idea that they're

1:08:48.280 --> 1:08:51.440
<v Speaker 1>going to compromise, they're going to come to their senses.

1:08:51.560 --> 1:08:55.800
<v Speaker 1>They don't really understand what's gonna They absolutely understand what's

1:08:55.320 --> 1:09:01.759
<v Speaker 1>going they're looking at their interest. They're not fooled. They're

1:09:01.800 --> 1:09:04.679
<v Speaker 1>doing something that they believe is really good for them,

1:09:05.000 --> 1:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>and to hell with everybody else. We're in a situation

1:09:08.760 --> 1:09:12.160
<v Speaker 1>that is dire and the ability to be polite to

1:09:12.280 --> 1:09:15.320
<v Speaker 1>people who are going to put everyone in this room,

1:09:15.400 --> 1:09:18.200
<v Speaker 1>and for the parents, every one of your kids at risk,

1:09:18.479 --> 1:09:21.679
<v Speaker 1>and for the grandparents, every one of your grandchildren at

1:09:21.880 --> 1:09:25.840
<v Speaker 1>dire risk, I think the time for politeness is over.

1:09:27.479 --> 1:09:30.040
<v Speaker 1>So I've got good news and bad news for you folks.

1:09:31.120 --> 1:09:33.400
<v Speaker 1>The good news is that, as you can tell they're

1:09:33.479 --> 1:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>from Tom sty or ranting about climate change, you can

1:09:36.760 --> 1:09:40.120
<v Speaker 1>be a complete moron in this country and become a billionaire.

1:09:40.920 --> 1:09:44.760
<v Speaker 1>So you know, that's we got that going for us,

1:09:44.800 --> 1:09:49.160
<v Speaker 1>which is nice. Even somebody who is delusional can become

1:09:49.160 --> 1:09:52.760
<v Speaker 1>a billionaire. The bad news is that Tom Steyer is

1:09:52.800 --> 1:09:56.519
<v Speaker 1>a billionaire and he's nuts. And as you can tell

1:09:56.640 --> 1:09:58.759
<v Speaker 1>from the way he's talking about the issue climate change.

1:09:58.800 --> 1:10:04.479
<v Speaker 1>There they are really emboldened right now on the left

1:10:05.120 --> 1:10:08.200
<v Speaker 1>because of this well one, I mean, they're they're tying

1:10:08.280 --> 1:10:11.040
<v Speaker 1>to California wildfires as the California wildfires have nothing to

1:10:11.040 --> 1:10:14.439
<v Speaker 1>do with climate change, okay, meaning that you know, this

1:10:14.560 --> 1:10:18.080
<v Speaker 1>is like the butterfly flapping the wings in New York,

1:10:18.520 --> 1:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>get a storm in Shanghai. Theory of the climate. It's

1:10:23.040 --> 1:10:25.559
<v Speaker 1>just these things are so far removed from each other.

1:10:25.600 --> 1:10:28.919
<v Speaker 1>The notion that they'd be able to draw a causal

1:10:29.000 --> 1:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>link between CO two the atmosphere and one period of

1:10:34.840 --> 1:10:38.439
<v Speaker 1>forest fires in one tiny part of the world, right

1:10:38.479 --> 1:10:39.600
<v Speaker 1>we think of it, Oh my gosh, it was a

1:10:39.680 --> 1:10:42.240
<v Speaker 1>terrible fire. I know, but we're talking about just one

1:10:42.320 --> 1:10:45.280
<v Speaker 1>little area of California, which is one state in the US,

1:10:45.360 --> 1:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>which is one country. I mean, you start breaking this down,

1:10:48.240 --> 1:10:52.240
<v Speaker 1>think of what a microcosm they are using to make

1:10:52.320 --> 1:10:57.360
<v Speaker 1>judgments about the macro. And yet that's what he that's

1:10:57.360 --> 1:11:01.599
<v Speaker 1>what they're doing. And this is now the beginning of

1:11:01.640 --> 1:11:04.000
<v Speaker 1>what you're gonna hear a lot more of. And I'm

1:11:04.000 --> 1:11:05.599
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to break it down for you on this show,

1:11:05.640 --> 1:11:08.439
<v Speaker 1>and I ain't gonna do it in detail today, But

1:11:08.600 --> 1:11:12.639
<v Speaker 1>this is a thing now, this is the Democrat base.

1:11:12.880 --> 1:11:14.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure it's gonna be a big thing in

1:11:14.200 --> 1:11:17.240
<v Speaker 1>the general because it's such a dumb idea, but in

1:11:17.280 --> 1:11:19.800
<v Speaker 1>the primary for the Democrats, they're gonna be running on this,

1:11:19.920 --> 1:11:22.360
<v Speaker 1>and you're gonna hear a lot of a lot of

1:11:22.640 --> 1:11:24.920
<v Speaker 1>malarkey from the Congress about it, and they're calling it

1:11:24.960 --> 1:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the Green New Deal, and those you were saying, what

1:11:30.280 --> 1:11:33.599
<v Speaker 1>the heck is that? That's a very valid question because

1:11:33.960 --> 1:11:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't even think that people who are pushing for

1:11:36.880 --> 1:11:40.280
<v Speaker 1>this know what this so called Green New Deal is

1:11:40.320 --> 1:11:44.280
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be. I don't think they're really aware of

1:11:44.280 --> 1:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>what the Green New Deal would involve. It just sounds

1:11:49.000 --> 1:11:51.920
<v Speaker 1>good as an aside. I know this is a little

1:11:51.920 --> 1:11:53.559
<v Speaker 1>bit of a this is a little bit of a

1:11:53.600 --> 1:11:57.200
<v Speaker 1>soliloquy within the broader monologue here, but notice how FDR

1:11:57.880 --> 1:12:02.240
<v Speaker 1>who it's going to court pack who put Japanese Americans

1:12:02.240 --> 1:12:05.360
<v Speaker 1>in internment camps. You know, FDR who has so much

1:12:05.400 --> 1:12:08.639
<v Speaker 1>in his background in his history that you think, by

1:12:08.680 --> 1:12:14.320
<v Speaker 1>our contemporary standards would be just just unpalatable the left,

1:12:14.360 --> 1:12:17.880
<v Speaker 1>he escapes, He escapes the criticism of the social justice warriors,

1:12:17.920 --> 1:12:25.400
<v Speaker 1>He escapes the kind of of you know, pillarying is

1:12:25.439 --> 1:12:28.519
<v Speaker 1>that is that's a word that the left heaps on

1:12:28.560 --> 1:12:32.040
<v Speaker 1>everybody else based on contemporary standards. Anyway, the Green New

1:12:32.080 --> 1:12:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Deal is supposed to be huge investment in jobs and

1:12:37.920 --> 1:12:43.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, jobs and infrastructure for renewable, renewable energy, which

1:12:43.200 --> 1:12:51.200
<v Speaker 1>just means taxpayers subsidizing wildly expensive and inefficient energy programs.

1:12:51.200 --> 1:12:54.200
<v Speaker 1>What it really means is that it's like Cylindra on steroids.

1:12:54.880 --> 1:12:56.680
<v Speaker 1>That's what the Green New Deal is going to be.

1:12:57.880 --> 1:13:02.080
<v Speaker 1>If these technologies were efficient enough, if they were productive enough,

1:13:02.120 --> 1:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>guess what the private sector would be all about them.

1:13:04.600 --> 1:13:07.840
<v Speaker 1>But you see this, the the green energy sector, it

1:13:07.960 --> 1:13:11.599
<v Speaker 1>is growing. I'm not I'm not, you know, ignorant of this. Yeah,

1:13:11.800 --> 1:13:14.439
<v Speaker 1>solar is getting more efficient, solar is getting to these

1:13:14.439 --> 1:13:17.639
<v Speaker 1>things are but it's slow, it's happening, but it's happening slowly.

1:13:18.479 --> 1:13:22.120
<v Speaker 1>They're arguing for a great leap forward, if you will,

1:13:22.200 --> 1:13:25.280
<v Speaker 1>on green energy, And yes, I'm making the historical illusion.

1:13:25.280 --> 1:13:28.479
<v Speaker 1>They're on purpose. They're arguing for a great leap forward

1:13:28.479 --> 1:13:33.479
<v Speaker 1>without recognizing that these you know that these massive government

1:13:33.520 --> 1:13:38.960
<v Speaker 1>programs and in catastrophe that when the government involved itself

1:13:38.960 --> 1:13:42.280
<v Speaker 1>in the economy this way, and it's not done by

1:13:42.479 --> 1:13:47.240
<v Speaker 1>stakeholders and innovators and entrepreneurs, but by government fiat. It's

1:13:47.240 --> 1:13:49.120
<v Speaker 1>a disaster. And that's why I can tell you and

1:13:49.160 --> 1:13:51.720
<v Speaker 1>we'll get more into this another time. The Green New

1:13:51.800 --> 1:13:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Deal is a disaster, but Democrats are embracing it. Oh

1:13:56.840 --> 1:14:01.760
<v Speaker 1>that's right. Twitter is now banning conspiracy online. Well, what's

1:14:01.760 --> 1:14:04.679
<v Speaker 1>a conspiracy? You know what really goes on with conspira?

1:14:04.720 --> 1:14:06.919
<v Speaker 1>Oh out, it's whatever the left says it is. Apparently,

1:14:07.160 --> 1:14:10.000

1:15:01.720 --> 1:15:08.840
<v Speaker 1>home for unpaid taxes? Yeah, the government can. But can

1:15:08.880 --> 1:15:13.920
<v Speaker 1>the government take your home for eight that's right, eight

1:15:14.760 --> 1:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>dollars in unpaid taxes? Well, if you live in certain states,

1:15:19.200 --> 1:15:23.360
<v Speaker 1>the answer is yes. You really need to hear about

1:15:23.400 --> 1:15:26.759
<v Speaker 1>this one story by Christina Martin the Wall Street Journal.

1:15:26.800 --> 1:15:29.879
<v Speaker 1>For eight dollars and forty one cents and unpaid taxes,

1:15:30.320 --> 1:15:34.880
<v Speaker 1>the government took Uri Rafaeli's house. This was in Michigan,

1:15:35.760 --> 1:15:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and anyone want to guess what tool of the prosecutors

1:15:40.200 --> 1:15:43.040
<v Speaker 1>and tool of the state was used here to seize

1:15:43.160 --> 1:15:48.679
<v Speaker 1>a home for eight dollars and unpaid taxes. That's right,

1:15:49.160 --> 1:15:54.400
<v Speaker 1>civil asset forfeiture. Let me give you the details of

1:15:54.479 --> 1:15:57.120
<v Speaker 1>this and then we can jump into more of what

1:15:57.200 --> 1:16:02.360
<v Speaker 1>the heck is going on here. Uri Rafaeli is an

1:16:02.360 --> 1:16:05.800
<v Speaker 1>eighty three year old engineer and great grandfather. He never

1:16:05.840 --> 1:16:08.800
<v Speaker 1>expected the government treat him like a drug dealer or gangbanger,

1:16:09.360 --> 1:16:12.040
<v Speaker 1>but last year, the Michigan Court of Appeals held that

1:16:12.120 --> 1:16:15.960
<v Speaker 1>a county government could use civil asset forfeiture, the same

1:16:16.040 --> 1:16:19.799
<v Speaker 1>legal process used by police to confiscate drug lord's mansions,

1:16:20.479 --> 1:16:24.839
<v Speaker 1>to seize a modest rental property mister Rafaeli owned because

1:16:24.840 --> 1:16:31.679
<v Speaker 1>he accidentally underpaid his property taxes by a whopping eight

1:16:31.760 --> 1:16:36.280
<v Speaker 1>dollars and forty one cents. Mister Rafaeli bought the house

1:16:36.880 --> 1:16:40.280
<v Speaker 1>through his business for sixty thousand dollars in twenty eleven.

1:16:41.120 --> 1:16:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Later that year, he inadvertently underpaid his property taxes by

1:16:45.040 --> 1:16:48.080
<v Speaker 1>four hundred and ninety six dollars. When he learned of

1:16:48.120 --> 1:16:51.040
<v Speaker 1>his mistake, mister Raffaeli attempted to pay the debt in full,

1:16:51.720 --> 1:16:54.240
<v Speaker 1>but failed to account for the interest that he had

1:16:54.280 --> 1:16:57.559
<v Speaker 1>accumulated since he received the bill. He came up eight

1:16:57.880 --> 1:17:02.439
<v Speaker 1>dollars and forty one cents or Unaware of his arab

1:17:02.439 --> 1:17:04.559
<v Speaker 1>mister Raffaeli went on to pay his taxes in a

1:17:04.640 --> 1:17:09.320
<v Speaker 1>timely manner in subsequent years, but Oakland County in twenty

1:17:09.400 --> 1:17:13.320
<v Speaker 1>fourteen four closed on the property to collect the tiny debt,

1:17:13.400 --> 1:17:16.799
<v Speaker 1>along with two hundred and seventy seven dollars and penalties, interests,

1:17:16.800 --> 1:17:21.360
<v Speaker 1>and fees. Six months later, the county sold the property

1:17:21.400 --> 1:17:24.520
<v Speaker 1>for twenty four thousand dollars five hundred auction and refused

1:17:24.600 --> 1:17:29.519
<v Speaker 1>to refund mister Raffaeli any of the profits end quote.

1:17:29.520 --> 1:17:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean this office Walsh journal piece. Folks, Let's just

1:17:32.680 --> 1:17:37.439
<v Speaker 1>take a moment here, shall we. This is crazy. The

1:17:37.640 --> 1:17:42.639
<v Speaker 1>state can seize your house for an eight dollar under payment.

1:17:43.600 --> 1:17:45.920
<v Speaker 1>How about a phone call from one of the countless,

1:17:47.200 --> 1:17:52.360
<v Speaker 1>very hard working I know, state bureaucrats saying, hey, can

1:17:52.360 --> 1:17:54.160
<v Speaker 1>you send us a check for eight dollars? Even better,

1:17:54.160 --> 1:17:56.840
<v Speaker 1>can you just sign on to this, you know, Michigan

1:17:56.880 --> 1:17:59.760
<v Speaker 1>dot gov portal and you can just pay with a

1:17:59.760 --> 1:18:02.000
<v Speaker 1>credit card. Here. Eight bucks. That's all they need. Eight bucks,

1:18:02.080 --> 1:18:06.679
<v Speaker 1>thank you? How about that? No, instead, they use civil

1:18:06.720 --> 1:18:10.720
<v Speaker 1>asset forfeiture to take his home, which is worth you know,

1:18:10.800 --> 1:18:12.800
<v Speaker 1>let's call it sixty maybe a little more than sixty

1:18:12.840 --> 1:18:15.960
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars, probably appreciated a little bit since he bought it,

1:18:16.000 --> 1:18:20.639
<v Speaker 1>but sixty thousand dollars home and sell it for twenty

1:18:20.680 --> 1:18:26.240
<v Speaker 1>five thousand dollars. What is this? Who thinks this is okay?

1:18:27.280 --> 1:18:29.720
<v Speaker 1>This is America, this is today, This is happening. I

1:18:29.760 --> 1:18:32.280
<v Speaker 1>know we're all supposed to care so much about Trump's taxes,

1:18:32.439 --> 1:18:35.760
<v Speaker 1>but why don't we care more about how the relationship

1:18:35.800 --> 1:18:41.519
<v Speaker 1>between citizen and government is tilted so far in favor

1:18:41.560 --> 1:18:45.320
<v Speaker 1>of the government on matters of taxation, matters of criminal justice.

1:18:45.360 --> 1:18:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is getting out of hand. Let me

1:18:49.840 --> 1:18:52.719
<v Speaker 1>go back to Walter journal piece because the details are important.

1:18:52.800 --> 1:18:57.479
<v Speaker 1>Quote cash strap. Local governments in Michigan rely on profits

1:18:57.479 --> 1:19:01.240
<v Speaker 1>from the sale of tax foreclosed property. According to the

1:19:01.280 --> 1:19:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Detroit News, Oakland County ranked in twenty two point five

1:19:06.439 --> 1:19:11.240
<v Speaker 1>million dollars by auctioning and off tax foreclosures from twenty

1:19:11.439 --> 1:19:15.160
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and six to twenty fifteen. County officials use

1:19:15.280 --> 1:19:19.000
<v Speaker 1>these funds to pay for tax collection expenses and maintain

1:19:19.120 --> 1:19:22.360
<v Speaker 1>properties worth less than their tax debts, but whatever is

1:19:22.439 --> 1:19:27.360
<v Speaker 1>left over gets swept into the general fund. Besides the

1:19:27.439 --> 1:19:31.840
<v Speaker 1>obvious injustice of such a naked governmental money grab, these

1:19:31.880 --> 1:19:35.840
<v Speaker 1>types of civil asset forfeitures threatened Americans constituency protected rights

1:19:37.200 --> 1:19:40.400
<v Speaker 1>end quote. I mean, this is this is so egregious

1:19:41.360 --> 1:19:43.080
<v Speaker 1>that this could even happen. I mean, you have to

1:19:43.120 --> 1:19:45.160
<v Speaker 1>read this kind of a piece to believe that this

1:19:45.200 --> 1:19:49.599
<v Speaker 1>could happen. You have to read this to think that

1:19:49.640 --> 1:19:51.560
<v Speaker 1>this could be going on in America. I mean, the

1:19:51.600 --> 1:19:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Fifth Amendment says they cannot take private property without just compensation.

1:19:56.000 --> 1:20:00.799
<v Speaker 1>This is not just compensation, and this is not due process.

1:20:01.760 --> 1:20:04.080
<v Speaker 1>This is just up you owe us. We're just gonna

1:20:04.120 --> 1:20:06.639
<v Speaker 1>take your stuff because we can because there's a legal

1:20:06.640 --> 1:20:09.320
<v Speaker 1>loophole that lets us. And you might say, buckwell, why

1:20:09.360 --> 1:20:11.080
<v Speaker 1>would they do this, Well, we know why they do

1:20:11.120 --> 1:20:16.160
<v Speaker 1>this because the government, like Skynet from the Terminator movies,

1:20:16.320 --> 1:20:21.120
<v Speaker 1>is self aware. The government, whether state or federal, is

1:20:21.280 --> 1:20:27.639
<v Speaker 1>increasingly a self interested and self perpetuating organism. People who

1:20:27.640 --> 1:20:30.280
<v Speaker 1>work for the government don't necessarily view it this way,

1:20:30.320 --> 1:20:33.519
<v Speaker 1>but there is a hive mind effect. And I saw

1:20:33.560 --> 1:20:36.800
<v Speaker 1>it when I was the CIA, where the institution, the agency,

1:20:36.880 --> 1:20:40.400
<v Speaker 1>the bureau, the whatever it is, whatever government entity you

1:20:40.439 --> 1:20:44.200
<v Speaker 1>work for, has to stay fully funded at all times,

1:20:44.840 --> 1:20:47.720
<v Speaker 1>has to get staffed up. You know, even more every year,

1:20:47.720 --> 1:20:51.799
<v Speaker 1>whatever the projections are going to hit, those projections no cutbacks,

1:20:51.800 --> 1:20:56.960
<v Speaker 1>no pay decreases, pay increases, no changes in budget, only

1:20:57.120 --> 1:21:01.720
<v Speaker 1>one direction up. And this is very common in a

1:21:01.720 --> 1:21:04.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of these. And then there's really a feeling of

1:21:04.080 --> 1:21:06.320
<v Speaker 1>self righteousness that takes hold of a lot of these

1:21:06.360 --> 1:21:09.880
<v Speaker 1>government folks that you know, they're owed this by the

1:21:09.920 --> 1:21:13.240
<v Speaker 1>tax better their their mission is so important, and I mean,

1:21:13.280 --> 1:21:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know how anyone could sleep at night

1:21:15.560 --> 1:21:20.040
<v Speaker 1>who is part of a government, government program that takes

1:21:20.360 --> 1:21:22.600
<v Speaker 1>by the way, no one thinks that this individual, No

1:21:22.640 --> 1:21:27.200
<v Speaker 1>one thinks that our Rafaelli in Michigan as a criminal

1:21:27.400 --> 1:21:30.479
<v Speaker 1>or a bad guy he owes eight dollars. I mean,

1:21:30.520 --> 1:21:33.639
<v Speaker 1>I probably still owe Blockbuster eight dollars from the nineties,

1:21:34.479 --> 1:21:36.200
<v Speaker 1>probably still going to come after me at some point

1:21:36.240 --> 1:21:39.080
<v Speaker 1>for it too. This is not the this is not

1:21:39.120 --> 1:21:41.040
<v Speaker 1>the only case like this. There's a lot of civil

1:21:41.080 --> 1:21:45.920
<v Speaker 1>asset forfeit your cases, and you know it's just out

1:21:45.920 --> 1:21:48.200
<v Speaker 1>of control. I mean, you know, for example, here's another one.

1:21:48.240 --> 1:21:52.519
<v Speaker 1>The elderly, sicker, economically distressed are most at risk of

1:21:52.640 --> 1:21:57.479
<v Speaker 1>losing property over taxes. Henderson Hodgens lost his childhood at

1:21:57.479 --> 1:22:01.679
<v Speaker 1>home and farm in town Ship, Michigan in twenty fourteen

1:22:02.240 --> 1:22:05.599
<v Speaker 1>when hospitalization left him unexpectfully unable to pay his fifty

1:22:05.680 --> 1:22:09.400
<v Speaker 1>nine hundred dollar debt. Another guy, Benjamin Coleman, who suffers

1:22:09.400 --> 1:22:12.040
<v Speaker 1>from dementia, lost his Washington, DC home, but he forgot

1:22:12.080 --> 1:22:15.360
<v Speaker 1>to pay a one hundred and thirty four dollars tax bill.

1:22:16.120 --> 1:22:18.959
<v Speaker 1>Public outrage over his story prompted the District of Columbia

1:22:19.040 --> 1:22:21.920
<v Speaker 1>to change a confiscatory law to protect property rights. I

1:22:21.920 --> 1:22:25.200
<v Speaker 1>mean seizing property because somebody owes like fifty bucks, you

1:22:25.200 --> 1:22:29.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna take their home because they owe five bucks? Is

1:22:29.439 --> 1:22:33.920
<v Speaker 1>this is unjust? This is unfair, and that this can

1:22:34.000 --> 1:22:37.200
<v Speaker 1>happen in many states, not just Michigan. It happened. It's

1:22:37.360 --> 1:22:42.280
<v Speaker 1>it's true. It's true in Vermont, it's true, in New Hampshire.

1:22:42.360 --> 1:22:44.599
<v Speaker 1>It's true in Michigan. It's true at a whole bunch

1:22:44.600 --> 1:22:51.640
<v Speaker 1>of places, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oregon, Massachusetts, whole bunch of

1:22:51.680 --> 1:22:55.560
<v Speaker 1>states have this. We gotta keep an eye on this.

1:22:55.600 --> 1:22:58.880
<v Speaker 1>There's stories that matter, folks, outside of the constant battle

1:22:58.920 --> 1:23:01.719
<v Speaker 1>over the trumpethon. There's other stuff here, and we'll continue

1:23:01.720 --> 1:23:05.560
<v Speaker 1>and follow them here in the Freedom Hunt. Global Verification

1:23:05.680 --> 1:23:09.680
<v Speaker 1>is the only dual certified veteran owned background investigation and

1:23:09.760 --> 1:23:12.280
<v Speaker 1>vetting company. You're probably gonna be staffing up in the

1:23:12.280 --> 1:23:14.400
<v Speaker 1>new year, right, if you got any hires, you're gonna

1:23:14.400 --> 1:23:16.599
<v Speaker 1>be making. You need somebody that can just take all

1:23:16.640 --> 1:23:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the headache out of the background check process. Make sure

1:23:19.240 --> 1:23:22.000
<v Speaker 1>you get it done quickly, efficiently, and by people that

1:23:22.360 --> 1:23:24.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, you can trust and you can get on

1:23:24.439 --> 1:23:28.040
<v Speaker 1>the phone. They're not some huge corporation. I know Mark Buckman,

1:23:28.120 --> 1:23:31.559
<v Speaker 1>the CEO, personally, he's a great guy. He's a veteran himself,

1:23:31.680 --> 1:23:34.240
<v Speaker 1>and he really cares about the business that he's in.

1:23:34.520 --> 1:23:36.479
<v Speaker 1>And call them and tell them at buck Sex and

1:23:36.560 --> 1:23:38.280
<v Speaker 1>sent you. I'm telling you, they'll be so happy to

1:23:53.520 --> 1:23:55.840
<v Speaker 1>got somebody else in your background checks, you might want

1:23:55.840 --> 1:23:57.680
<v Speaker 1>to price it out and talk to what's going or

1:23:57.760 --> 1:24:01.479
<v Speaker 1>talk the folks over at Global Verification Network. All right,

1:24:01.640 --> 1:24:05.839
<v Speaker 1>my GVN dot com Again, that's my GVN dot com.

1:24:07.479 --> 1:24:10.320
<v Speaker 1>So I just love this story. I think this is

1:24:10.520 --> 1:24:15.599
<v Speaker 1>a fantastic story because it really is a little window

1:24:16.439 --> 1:24:24.200
<v Speaker 1>into how things work in these big Democrat machines of

1:24:24.320 --> 1:24:29.680
<v Speaker 1>politics that you see in places like Chicago and you know,

1:24:29.800 --> 1:24:35.800
<v Speaker 1>major cities Baltimore, New York, Miami, Los Angeles. There's there's differences,

1:24:35.920 --> 1:24:40.479
<v Speaker 1>but there's some baseline similarities at all these places, and

1:24:40.520 --> 1:24:44.320
<v Speaker 1>that is that this idea that Democrats haven't run around

1:24:44.360 --> 1:24:47.720
<v Speaker 1>with for a long time, that everyone just wants voter

1:24:47.880 --> 1:24:50.640
<v Speaker 1>turnout man, and they just don't want voter suppression. And

1:24:50.960 --> 1:24:53.320
<v Speaker 1>there's no such thing as voter fraud. No, there is

1:24:53.400 --> 1:24:57.360
<v Speaker 1>voter fraud. There absolutely is voter fraud, and in fact,

1:24:58.000 --> 1:25:01.000
<v Speaker 1>we are currently finding out we should know more later

1:25:01.080 --> 1:25:06.080
<v Speaker 1>this week whether this election in North Carolina was marred

1:25:06.080 --> 1:25:08.320
<v Speaker 1>by fraud. They might needed to they might not be

1:25:08.400 --> 1:25:12.439
<v Speaker 1>able to seat the Republican who won, and they might

1:25:12.479 --> 1:25:15.639
<v Speaker 1>have to have an entirely new primary and general election.

1:25:15.760 --> 1:25:19.080
<v Speaker 1>That would be the process for that congressional seat in

1:25:19.640 --> 1:25:21.920
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina. This is a straight up do over, and

1:25:22.160 --> 1:25:25.160
<v Speaker 1>it's looking likely that that is the case. There's this

1:25:25.560 --> 1:25:30.000
<v Speaker 1>guy who is a kind of political fixer in North Carolina,

1:25:30.040 --> 1:25:33.120
<v Speaker 1>and he's at the heart of this idea or this

1:25:33.200 --> 1:25:38.799
<v Speaker 1>allegation that people were picking up absentee ballots, which is illegal,

1:25:38.840 --> 1:25:42.360
<v Speaker 1>accepted a very specifically defined circumstances. In North Carolina, they

1:25:42.360 --> 1:25:46.439
<v Speaker 1>were essentially illegally harvesting ballots. It might have been more

1:25:46.560 --> 1:25:48.960
<v Speaker 1>widespread than was even thought. So North Carolina may have

1:25:49.000 --> 1:25:52.080
<v Speaker 1>to have a whole new election because of fraud for

1:25:52.200 --> 1:25:55.200
<v Speaker 1>a congressional seat. Now this story in Chicago, this is

1:25:55.240 --> 1:25:59.679
<v Speaker 1>not going to get nearly nearly as much attention because

1:26:00.080 --> 1:26:06.760
<v Speaker 1>it really only plausibly involves malfeasance by Democrats. Right, the

1:26:06.840 --> 1:26:10.120
<v Speaker 1>chicanery's on one side of things here, it's the Democrat side,

1:26:10.600 --> 1:26:13.400
<v Speaker 1>and so it won't get nearly nearly the same degree

1:26:13.400 --> 1:26:16.800
<v Speaker 1>of media interest that for example, North Carolina, where a

1:26:16.800 --> 1:26:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Republican one has been getting. But this is about a

1:26:21.479 --> 1:26:27.960
<v Speaker 1>college kid named David Kruppa who's nineteen years old, who

1:26:28.000 --> 1:26:34.080
<v Speaker 1>decided to run for thirteenth Ward. Alderman. So the thirteenth Ward,

1:26:34.200 --> 1:26:36.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know Chicago politics well, so part of me,

1:26:36.520 --> 1:26:37.920
<v Speaker 1>some of you probably know it better than I. But

1:26:37.920 --> 1:26:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the thirteenth Ward is, you know, in Chicago, and it's

1:26:44.000 --> 1:26:48.000
<v Speaker 1>it's covered by the Chicago political machine. Some refer to

1:26:48.000 --> 1:26:52.040
<v Speaker 1>it as the daily machine. And this is an example

1:26:52.080 --> 1:26:53.920
<v Speaker 1>of a guy who, look, he's a young guy. I

1:26:53.960 --> 1:26:56.519
<v Speaker 1>think we're gonna actually have him on Rising tomorrow as

1:26:56.560 --> 1:26:59.240
<v Speaker 1>a guest. I think that's what we've got scheduled, so

1:26:59.240 --> 1:27:01.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll be able to talk about it. But he's just

1:27:02.080 --> 1:27:05.280
<v Speaker 1>a young man who wants to get A young man

1:27:05.360 --> 1:27:09.800
<v Speaker 1>sounds like I'm some you know, some guy who's been

1:27:09.840 --> 1:27:12.960
<v Speaker 1>around for a century. But he wanted to get involved

1:27:13.000 --> 1:27:15.519
<v Speaker 1>in politics. So he figured out that all you need

1:27:15.560 --> 1:27:17.960
<v Speaker 1>to do is get a certain number of signatures and

1:27:18.040 --> 1:27:21.960
<v Speaker 1>you can get yourself on the ballot. But in the

1:27:22.080 --> 1:27:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Chicago realm, that a In this case, a Republican named

1:27:26.160 --> 1:27:29.120
<v Speaker 1>David Cruppo is a freshman at De Paul University. He

1:27:29.280 --> 1:27:34.479
<v Speaker 1>drives a forklift part time, and he's a conservative guy

1:27:34.479 --> 1:27:37.280
<v Speaker 1>who studies political science. He wanted to throw his hat

1:27:37.320 --> 1:27:40.360
<v Speaker 1>in the ring and get involved in local politics, and

1:27:40.400 --> 1:27:44.360
<v Speaker 1>so the thirteenth Ward, which is run by House Speaker

1:27:44.439 --> 1:27:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Michael Madigan, who is apparently known as Boss Madigan in

1:27:49.280 --> 1:27:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Chicago and is referred to in the Chicago Tribune as

1:27:53.400 --> 1:27:58.679
<v Speaker 1>the most powerful politician in the state. So this guy

1:27:58.800 --> 1:28:04.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't necessarily real but he decided to walk into El

1:28:04.240 --> 1:28:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Padrone's backyard here. And the current alderman of the thirteenth

1:28:09.360 --> 1:28:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Ward is this guy Marty Quinn. But you know, Marty

1:28:11.960 --> 1:28:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Quinn is no one, no one that you've ever heard

1:28:13.680 --> 1:28:17.639
<v Speaker 1>of unless you live in Chicago. But the daily machine

1:28:18.360 --> 1:28:20.559
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago you certainly are familiar with. Remember it's what

1:28:20.680 --> 1:28:23.599
<v Speaker 1>It's where Obama built his political career. I mean, there's

1:28:23.640 --> 1:28:29.320
<v Speaker 1>there's very powerful Democrat roots here in Chicago, and it

1:28:29.400 --> 1:28:31.679
<v Speaker 1>really runs the whole it really runs the whole state.

1:28:31.720 --> 1:28:34.160
<v Speaker 1>You know. I was out in Springfield, Illinois recently, and

1:28:34.520 --> 1:28:37.080
<v Speaker 1>they were telling me that the Democrats that are out

1:28:37.080 --> 1:28:39.960
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago are the ones that really call the shots

1:28:39.960 --> 1:28:42.640
<v Speaker 1>for everybody else. Even though technically the city government is

1:28:42.720 --> 1:28:45.839
<v Speaker 1>in Springfield, it's the capitol, I'm sorry, the state government

1:28:45.920 --> 1:28:50.800
<v Speaker 1>is in Springfield. So this guy Kruppa gets on the

1:28:50.840 --> 1:28:56.280
<v Speaker 1>ballot and he gets four He needed four hundred and

1:28:56.320 --> 1:28:59.320
<v Speaker 1>seventy three valid signatures of people who live in the

1:28:59.360 --> 1:29:02.799
<v Speaker 1>thirteenth Ward to get on the ballot. With the Chicago

1:29:02.840 --> 1:29:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Board of Elections. Kruppa, only nineteen years old, managed a

1:29:08.960 --> 1:29:15.120
<v Speaker 1>robust seventeen hundred and three signatures. But this is where

1:29:15.120 --> 1:29:19.400
<v Speaker 1>the story gets amazing. My friends, before he could even

1:29:19.560 --> 1:29:24.320
<v Speaker 1>file his signatures with the Elections Board, a group of

1:29:24.360 --> 1:29:28.960
<v Speaker 1>political workers, all right, a bunch of political activists at

1:29:29.000 --> 1:29:34.439
<v Speaker 1>the behest of the Chicago Daily machine went door to

1:29:34.560 --> 1:29:39.760
<v Speaker 1>door with official legal papers. And what did they do.

1:29:40.000 --> 1:29:44.959
<v Speaker 1>They asked people to remove this young man by signing

1:29:45.080 --> 1:29:51.040
<v Speaker 1>an affidavit of revocation of their signature. That's right. They

1:29:51.120 --> 1:29:55.920
<v Speaker 1>moved so quickly to squash this guy that they that

1:29:56.040 --> 1:30:00.320
<v Speaker 1>they managed to get all of his signatures revoked before

1:30:00.400 --> 1:30:04.600
<v Speaker 1>he could even turn in the signatures that he had gathers.

1:30:05.560 --> 1:30:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Think about that for a moment. I don't think anybody

1:30:09.640 --> 1:30:12.280
<v Speaker 1>really thinks that he's a real challenge in the thirteenth War.

1:30:12.320 --> 1:30:14.120
<v Speaker 1>But they don't even want to. You know, they don't know.

1:30:14.160 --> 1:30:16.400
<v Speaker 1>They don't want to. They don't want to play any games.

1:30:17.400 --> 1:30:20.639
<v Speaker 1>The thing about these revocations is that they are legally

1:30:20.720 --> 1:30:27.160
<v Speaker 1>binding documents. They are notarized and signed, so that means

1:30:27.160 --> 1:30:30.240
<v Speaker 1>that lying on these documents is in fact perjury. And

1:30:30.320 --> 1:30:34.960
<v Speaker 1>you can even have felony charges for this. And if

1:30:35.000 --> 1:30:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you have a felony charge, you can't work for the government.

1:30:39.680 --> 1:30:42.680
<v Speaker 1>So these are people working on at behest of the

1:30:42.720 --> 1:30:46.360
<v Speaker 1>government who may have you think colored a little bit

1:30:46.360 --> 1:30:51.520
<v Speaker 1>outside the lines here? But then things get really interesting.

1:30:51.680 --> 1:30:54.559
<v Speaker 1>Who wants to guess this young man wants to run

1:30:54.560 --> 1:30:59.479
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago seventeen hundred and three signatures that he's turning in.

1:31:00.320 --> 1:31:04.280
<v Speaker 1>But how many revocations of signatures meaning people who say

1:31:04.800 --> 1:31:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I pull away the signature that I already signed. How

1:31:07.920 --> 1:31:12.760
<v Speaker 1>many revocations did the Chicago machine, the Democrat machine churn

1:31:12.840 --> 1:31:19.479
<v Speaker 1>out two thousand and seven hundred and ninety six. So

1:31:20.160 --> 1:31:23.559
<v Speaker 1>someone's going to need to explain how it's possible that

1:31:23.720 --> 1:31:28.679
<v Speaker 1>they found an extra thousand people who claim that their

1:31:28.720 --> 1:31:33.680
<v Speaker 1>signatures had to be revoked when these political activists went

1:31:33.680 --> 1:31:37.879
<v Speaker 1>door to door. How is that a mistake that anybody

1:31:37.880 --> 1:31:43.200
<v Speaker 1>could reasonably make? And oh, when they did a document

1:31:43.280 --> 1:31:48.000
<v Speaker 1>match of the seventeen hundred and three people who signed

1:31:48.040 --> 1:31:51.840
<v Speaker 1>to get young mister Kruppa on the ballot, only one

1:31:51.880 --> 1:31:57.040
<v Speaker 1>hundred and eighty seven of them of the revocations rather

1:31:57.600 --> 1:32:01.479
<v Speaker 1>matched the original petitions. So what do they do in

1:32:01.560 --> 1:32:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Chicago to block this kid from getting on the ballot

1:32:05.760 --> 1:32:08.200
<v Speaker 1>of a ward in the city of Chicago That this

1:32:08.280 --> 1:32:11.720
<v Speaker 1>kid has no prayer of winning, I would assume, but

1:32:11.840 --> 1:32:18.120
<v Speaker 1>who knows, But realistically no chance they got more and

1:32:18.200 --> 1:32:21.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, almost almost double. I mean they

1:32:21.720 --> 1:32:24.800
<v Speaker 1>overshot he only got seventeen hundred, and they overshot that

1:32:24.840 --> 1:32:29.360
<v Speaker 1>by a thousand. So you know, it's like a sixty

1:32:29.400 --> 1:32:34.720
<v Speaker 1>percent call it a sixty percent increase in revoked signatures,

1:32:35.280 --> 1:32:41.759
<v Speaker 1>which means guess what, people lied? People broke the law.

1:32:42.520 --> 1:32:47.000
<v Speaker 1>They're turning this over to Cook County States Attorney Kim Fox.

1:32:48.320 --> 1:32:52.840
<v Speaker 1>But who wants to guess what political party Fox belongs to? Oh,

1:32:52.920 --> 1:32:58.400
<v Speaker 1>that's right, she's a Democrat. Now you have signatures, these

1:32:58.400 --> 1:33:02.280
<v Speaker 1>are tied to individuals, You have people handing in those signatures.

1:33:02.760 --> 1:33:05.640
<v Speaker 1>You have a paper trail here, and you have a

1:33:05.720 --> 1:33:10.879
<v Speaker 1>pretty much open and shut case of felony election fraud

1:33:11.560 --> 1:33:16.040
<v Speaker 1>occurring in Chicago city limits for the thirteenth ward. Also,

1:33:16.120 --> 1:33:19.760
<v Speaker 1>they could stop a young Conservative from even appearing on

1:33:19.880 --> 1:33:23.200
<v Speaker 1>the ballot. Does anyone think they are going to be

1:33:23.240 --> 1:33:28.320
<v Speaker 1>criminal charges from this? Does anybody think that the Chicago

1:33:28.439 --> 1:33:31.880
<v Speaker 1>machine doesn't extend into the prosecutor's offices here? This is

1:33:31.920 --> 1:33:36.439
<v Speaker 1>the thing about corruption. Once you really understand its nature,

1:33:36.479 --> 1:33:42.280
<v Speaker 1>you understand its extent, you understand that there's no check

1:33:42.439 --> 1:33:47.280
<v Speaker 1>on this. Really, there's no there's no good faith actors

1:33:47.320 --> 1:33:49.880
<v Speaker 1>in place, who are going to take this on in Chicago.

1:33:50.280 --> 1:33:54.080
<v Speaker 1>It's too entrenched. It's two Democrats, too left wing, too corrupt.

1:33:55.600 --> 1:33:58.360
<v Speaker 1>What an incredible story. You get seventeen hundred people you

1:33:58.400 --> 1:34:00.439
<v Speaker 1>think you're gonna start your political career by getting on

1:34:00.479 --> 1:34:03.439
<v Speaker 1>the ballot, and they get twenty seven hundred to say, yeah,

1:34:03.520 --> 1:34:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm pulling away my signature. And only one hundred and

1:34:06.720 --> 1:34:08.800
<v Speaker 1>eighty seven of the twenty seven hundred even gave their

1:34:08.840 --> 1:34:12.439
<v Speaker 1>signature in the first place. A lot of fraud, folks.

1:34:13.520 --> 1:34:18.919
<v Speaker 1>No one's going to go to prison because Democrats Stemming.

1:34:19.000 --> 1:34:21.920
<v Speaker 1>It's six foot two and weighing it at two hundred

1:34:21.920 --> 1:34:28.160
<v Speaker 1>and twenty pounds. Male to female transgender handballer Hannah Mounsie

1:34:29.320 --> 1:34:35.679
<v Speaker 1>is dominating at the Women's Asian Championships in Japan. Before

1:34:35.800 --> 1:34:40.920
<v Speaker 1>his transition in May twenty sixteen, Mousey played for the

1:34:41.000 --> 1:34:46.639
<v Speaker 1>Australian men's handball team. This is from a daily wire.

1:34:46.840 --> 1:34:51.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, if I had said five years ago, okay,

1:34:51.760 --> 1:34:55.880
<v Speaker 1>that you would have a situation now where libs would

1:34:55.920 --> 1:34:59.160
<v Speaker 1>be telling all the rest of us not only should

1:35:00.040 --> 1:35:04.040
<v Speaker 1>males be able to play female sports, but they should

1:35:04.040 --> 1:35:07.479
<v Speaker 1>be able to play against women. But we should pretend

1:35:07.560 --> 1:35:10.680
<v Speaker 1>that they are women playing against women. They would have

1:35:10.760 --> 1:35:15.559
<v Speaker 1>said that that was crazy, that that's fear mongering. And

1:35:15.600 --> 1:35:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean five years ago when I started in media,

1:35:19.760 --> 1:35:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I remember some of the examples when we would talk

1:35:22.040 --> 1:35:25.639
<v Speaker 1>about transgenderism and what's going to happen here? We would say, well,

1:35:25.640 --> 1:35:28.600
<v Speaker 1>what about men and women's prisons and those separations? What

1:35:28.640 --> 1:35:32.200
<v Speaker 1>about men and women's sports? Essentially? What about those places,

1:35:32.320 --> 1:35:37.639
<v Speaker 1>those areas of life where a biology is in fact

1:35:38.439 --> 1:35:42.880
<v Speaker 1>the determining factor? Right, have said that so many times?

1:35:42.880 --> 1:35:44.680
<v Speaker 1>How many of you who are men listening to this?

1:35:44.920 --> 1:35:47.080
<v Speaker 1>No exactly what I'm talking about, all of you and

1:35:47.160 --> 1:35:50.840
<v Speaker 1>the ladies know it too. If you were to pick

1:35:50.920 --> 1:35:55.120
<v Speaker 1>your average two hundred pound, able bodied, twenty five year

1:35:55.160 --> 1:35:58.040
<v Speaker 1>old male off the street and told him that in

1:35:58.080 --> 1:36:00.439
<v Speaker 1>a contact sport he was going to play again women,

1:36:00.920 --> 1:36:03.519
<v Speaker 1>he would be able to play at a very high level,

1:36:03.560 --> 1:36:06.120
<v Speaker 1>assuming he was reasonably strong and athletic. Right, you got

1:36:06.160 --> 1:36:09.160
<v Speaker 1>a two hundred pound, six foot tall guy who's twenty

1:36:09.160 --> 1:36:12.719
<v Speaker 1>five years old, he's going to be an elite level

1:36:12.800 --> 1:36:16.560
<v Speaker 1>athlete among females in contact sports, not in tennis or

1:36:17.080 --> 1:36:21.920
<v Speaker 1>but in sports whereas pure physical strength and speed are

1:36:21.920 --> 1:36:25.400
<v Speaker 1>really all that is needed, and we just we all

1:36:25.439 --> 1:36:29.519
<v Speaker 1>know this, but we're being told to forget what is obvious.

1:36:29.520 --> 1:36:31.920
<v Speaker 1>In fact, we're being told to embrace what is false.

1:36:33.800 --> 1:36:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Here's the headline here was he played handball for Australia's

1:36:37.240 --> 1:36:44.160
<v Speaker 1>men's team. Now transgender, he's dominating women's handball. And I

1:36:44.280 --> 1:36:46.840
<v Speaker 1>see this now is even going beyond this strength issue

1:36:46.920 --> 1:36:51.160
<v Speaker 1>to the attractiveness issue. You know, you have the Miss

1:36:51.439 --> 1:36:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Universe competition, which you know, for pure research purposes. I

1:36:58.640 --> 1:37:01.400
<v Speaker 1>have occasionally tuned in just to you know, I'm in

1:37:01.479 --> 1:37:04.040
<v Speaker 1>media and I need to know what's going on, so

1:37:04.080 --> 1:37:07.840
<v Speaker 1>occasionally I will have flipped on the Miss Universe competition.

1:37:08.000 --> 1:37:10.599
<v Speaker 1>I changed the channel when the swimsuits come on. But

1:37:11.040 --> 1:37:13.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, I have been known to see some of

1:37:13.280 --> 1:37:16.640
<v Speaker 1>the pageants in the past, and they're all saying the

1:37:16.680 --> 1:37:19.320
<v Speaker 1>odds on favorite this year to win the twenty eighteen

1:37:19.360 --> 1:37:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Miss Universe pageant is Angela Ponce, who is male. This

1:37:27.360 --> 1:37:29.680
<v Speaker 1>is I mean, this is a transgender individual, you know,

1:37:29.920 --> 1:37:33.120
<v Speaker 1>and and I think it's it's it's remarkable that this

1:37:33.160 --> 1:37:37.040
<v Speaker 1>has moved so quickly that now I guess you're you're

1:37:37.160 --> 1:37:41.240
<v Speaker 1>bigoted if as a male who is attracted to females,

1:37:42.479 --> 1:37:46.680
<v Speaker 1>which is a vast majority. Despite what you get from

1:37:46.680 --> 1:37:48.840
<v Speaker 1>watching the media days, a vast majority of males are

1:37:48.840 --> 1:37:51.719
<v Speaker 1>in fact attracted to females. And it is a deep

1:37:51.960 --> 1:37:57.640
<v Speaker 1>biological predisposition, right, There's a whole propagation of the species

1:37:57.680 --> 1:38:00.880
<v Speaker 1>thing that comes into play here. If you're a biological

1:38:00.920 --> 1:38:07.000
<v Speaker 1>male who is only attracted to females, it is bigoted.

1:38:07.680 --> 1:38:11.599
<v Speaker 1>If you really take the woke social justice warriors at

1:38:11.640 --> 1:38:15.160
<v Speaker 1>their word, it's bigoted for you to not be attracted

1:38:15.560 --> 1:38:20.840
<v Speaker 1>to a man who has put on all these ostensibly

1:38:20.960 --> 1:38:25.479
<v Speaker 1>female characteristics on their you know, on their outer body.

1:38:26.160 --> 1:38:28.240
<v Speaker 1>The problem is, folks, it's also you know, you can

1:38:28.280 --> 1:38:32.400
<v Speaker 1>always really tell it never you know, I've never seen

1:38:32.439 --> 1:38:40.680
<v Speaker 1>a transgendered individual who is not obviously male with female accoutrement.

1:38:40.880 --> 1:38:44.559
<v Speaker 1>If you will, you can always tell. And you can't

1:38:44.560 --> 1:38:47.840
<v Speaker 1>actually change your biology. So they can give you the

1:38:47.880 --> 1:38:49.920
<v Speaker 1>pills and they can give you the surgeries and all

1:38:49.920 --> 1:38:54.240
<v Speaker 1>this stuff, but ultimately it's just all feeding into a lie.

1:38:55.040 --> 1:38:58.679
<v Speaker 1>But because of the radical equality that's at the heart

1:38:58.800 --> 1:39:02.719
<v Speaker 1>of cultural marks and the left, because of the radical

1:39:02.760 --> 1:39:06.160
<v Speaker 1>equality that is the basis for so much of their

1:39:06.160 --> 1:39:10.200
<v Speaker 1>agitation and so much of their organizing and really the

1:39:11.240 --> 1:39:16.600
<v Speaker 1>leveraging of envy as a means of mobilizing people. They

1:39:16.640 --> 1:39:20.280
<v Speaker 1>like to pretend that there's no differences between the genders. Therefore,

1:39:20.280 --> 1:39:23.559
<v Speaker 1>any differences between the genders that do exist in terms

1:39:23.560 --> 1:39:28.000
<v Speaker 1>of pay or strength or anything else, those are social

1:39:28.040 --> 1:39:32.120
<v Speaker 1>constructs that are the result of oppression. So I know,

1:39:32.200 --> 1:39:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I just that's a much more complicated and maybe I'll

1:39:34.000 --> 1:39:35.519
<v Speaker 1>get into that more than next time, because I feel

1:39:35.520 --> 1:39:37.200
<v Speaker 1>like I'm just scratching the service with you on that

1:39:37.240 --> 1:39:40.360
<v Speaker 1>one this time around. But it's an issue I'm always

1:39:40.400 --> 1:39:43.120
<v Speaker 1>happy to talk about because I think it shows you

1:39:43.200 --> 1:39:46.160
<v Speaker 1>how how dishonest and how crazy the left has become.

1:39:46.240 --> 1:39:49.120
<v Speaker 1>We have our first role call in days coming up.

1:39:49.160 --> 1:39:54.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited about it, So stay right there. The show

1:39:54.400 --> 1:40:03.599
<v Speaker 1>ain't over yet, folks, it's time for roll call. Well, team,

1:40:03.640 --> 1:40:06.320
<v Speaker 1>it is so good to be back here in the

1:40:06.439 --> 1:40:10.760
<v Speaker 1>saddle in the Freedom Hut. Men. It was it was

1:40:10.800 --> 1:40:13.360
<v Speaker 1>tough last week. I don't know if it was a

1:40:13.479 --> 1:40:15.920
<v Speaker 1>light flu or a terrible cold, but it was one

1:40:15.960 --> 1:40:19.160
<v Speaker 1>of the two. And I try not to whine about

1:40:19.240 --> 1:40:20.960
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff on this show. I know everyone's

1:40:20.960 --> 1:40:24.000
<v Speaker 1>got their own health challenges. Stop whining. I was in

1:40:24.120 --> 1:40:26.320
<v Speaker 1>rough shape there that Wednesday show, the last show I

1:40:26.360 --> 1:40:27.880
<v Speaker 1>did before I had to take a couple of days out.

1:40:28.640 --> 1:40:32.240
<v Speaker 1>My voice box was basically failing in some of the breaks,

1:40:32.680 --> 1:40:35.840
<v Speaker 1>and I was coughing up stuff that might as well

1:40:35.880 --> 1:40:38.400
<v Speaker 1>have been Slimer from Ghostbusters, Like some of the stuff

1:40:38.400 --> 1:40:40.040
<v Speaker 1>that I was coughing up could have gotten up and

1:40:40.280 --> 1:40:42.840
<v Speaker 1>walked out of the room. Bike. I know, I know

1:40:43.000 --> 1:40:46.040
<v Speaker 1>it's gross. I'm sorry, Producer Mike, I'm sorry, all right,

1:40:46.280 --> 1:40:50.720
<v Speaker 1>that was gross, TMI. As the kids say, too much information,

1:40:50.880 --> 1:40:55.240
<v Speaker 1>t AM. I not to be confused with Bay, which

1:40:55.320 --> 1:40:59.280
<v Speaker 1>is another thing that the cool kids say. We have

1:40:59.400 --> 1:41:02.519
<v Speaker 1>roll call to get to, so I will get right

1:41:02.560 --> 1:41:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to it now. First up, by the way, whenever you

1:41:05.800 --> 1:41:08.559
<v Speaker 1>hear me doing that when I start rambling and coherently

1:41:08.600 --> 1:41:11.240
<v Speaker 1>for a second during Roan calls, usually because my computer

1:41:11.320 --> 1:41:15.040
<v Speaker 1>is frozen up and it has unfrozen. Kyle writes Buck,

1:41:15.880 --> 1:41:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't have cable TV. I listen to your podcast

1:41:18.320 --> 1:41:22.599
<v Speaker 1>and Fox Business on my XM. But on the treadmill

1:41:22.720 --> 1:41:25.080
<v Speaker 1>this morning I had a side by side view of

1:41:25.120 --> 1:41:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Fox and CNN. Fox had at least a half a

1:41:29.120 --> 1:41:33.720
<v Speaker 1>dozen segments, all different subjects, to include Russia without exaggeration.

1:41:33.840 --> 1:41:37.240
<v Speaker 1>CNN had twenty five minutes of Russia indictment impeachment coverage

1:41:37.240 --> 1:41:40.400
<v Speaker 1>and five minutes of Kashogi. To say Trump lives in

1:41:40.439 --> 1:41:44.080
<v Speaker 1>their heads is an understatement, Well, Kyle, it's not all

1:41:44.120 --> 1:41:48.040
<v Speaker 1>ideologically driven. I mean, I can tell you that stories

1:41:48.080 --> 1:41:52.600
<v Speaker 1>that involve Trump, stories about Trump, get ratings, they get attention,

1:41:52.800 --> 1:41:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and in a sense, you know people in this media business,

1:41:56.960 --> 1:41:58.720
<v Speaker 1>you give the people what they want, or else your

1:41:58.720 --> 1:42:03.400
<v Speaker 1>competition does. I mean that is a very real consideration.

1:42:04.080 --> 1:42:08.120
<v Speaker 1>And even see Ann for example, overall its ratings are up,

1:42:09.160 --> 1:42:11.880
<v Speaker 1>even though its prime time ratings are quite a bit down,

1:42:12.360 --> 1:42:15.559
<v Speaker 1>and its ratings are up because of Trump. So while

1:42:15.560 --> 1:42:17.439
<v Speaker 1>they complain about Trump, it's say he's a danger to

1:42:17.439 --> 1:42:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the press, he's making the press richer, and he's not

1:42:20.720 --> 1:42:22.720
<v Speaker 1>actually a danger to them. So it's really a win

1:42:22.800 --> 1:42:29.280
<v Speaker 1>win for the whiny libs of the media. Patrick, Just

1:42:29.439 --> 1:42:33.200
<v Speaker 1>for information's sake, to follow up on my ancestry, I'm

1:42:33.240 --> 1:42:37.280
<v Speaker 1>two thirds Welsh, a third Irish, and one percent Congolees.

1:42:38.280 --> 1:42:40.679
<v Speaker 1>That means I have more African in me than Warren

1:42:40.680 --> 1:42:43.200
<v Speaker 1>has Native American. Well, Patrick, thank you for the random,

1:42:43.280 --> 1:42:46.799
<v Speaker 1>fun personal facts that now the entire country knows about

1:42:47.200 --> 1:42:51.200
<v Speaker 1>good to hear from you, Adam writes Buck, I'd love

1:42:51.200 --> 1:42:54.960
<v Speaker 1>to get your opinion on universal basic income. I personally

1:42:54.960 --> 1:42:57.320
<v Speaker 1>think if properly executed, we can drive a stake through

1:42:57.360 --> 1:43:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the heart of federal bureaucracy and potentially the Democratic Party

1:43:00.560 --> 1:43:04.719
<v Speaker 1>slash and burn nearly all benefits to pay for it. Well, Adam,

1:43:04.800 --> 1:43:09.160
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing. Universal basic income sounds at first for

1:43:09.200 --> 1:43:11.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of folks like a pretty good idea. Right,

1:43:11.240 --> 1:43:14.240
<v Speaker 1>you need a safety net. Very few people these days

1:43:14.400 --> 1:43:17.439
<v Speaker 1>argue against any kind of safety net. So if you're

1:43:17.479 --> 1:43:21.080
<v Speaker 1>going to have a safety net, the thinking goes, why

1:43:21.120 --> 1:43:24.080
<v Speaker 1>not just give people money and then let them fend

1:43:24.120 --> 1:43:26.640
<v Speaker 1>for themselves with that money. Well, what would happen is

1:43:26.760 --> 1:43:29.920
<v Speaker 1>you'd have a similar dynamic to when people say let's

1:43:29.960 --> 1:43:33.280
<v Speaker 1>get rid of income tax and replace it with a

1:43:33.400 --> 1:43:35.240
<v Speaker 1>VAT tax, and they say, well, we'll only have a

1:43:35.320 --> 1:43:38.719
<v Speaker 1>VAT tax, we won't have income tax. No, the way government,

1:43:38.760 --> 1:43:42.360
<v Speaker 1>the way of bureaucracies work, you're gonna have both. So

1:43:42.760 --> 1:43:46.240
<v Speaker 1>by creating universal basic income, what would happen is you

1:43:46.240 --> 1:43:50.120
<v Speaker 1>would have an additional entitlement and then they would either

1:43:50.160 --> 1:43:55.200
<v Speaker 1>want to bring back or keep or enlarge Supplemental Nutrition

1:43:55.240 --> 1:44:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Assistance program food stamps. They'd want to enlarge Medicaid, you know,

1:44:00.360 --> 1:44:02.839
<v Speaker 1>free healthcare. They'd want to enlarge all these different programs

1:44:02.840 --> 1:44:05.400
<v Speaker 1>to the poor and give them a universal basic income.

1:44:06.240 --> 1:44:10.120
<v Speaker 1>And that's not good. It also would create a perception

1:44:10.160 --> 1:44:14.719
<v Speaker 1>that the state has an obligation to pay its people.

1:44:15.400 --> 1:44:18.920
<v Speaker 1>And I think that just at a philosophical level, you know,

1:44:18.920 --> 1:44:20.840
<v Speaker 1>it's one thing to give somebody. It's one thing to

1:44:20.880 --> 1:44:23.439
<v Speaker 1>give somebody food or medical care, something to give somebody

1:44:23.439 --> 1:44:26.240
<v Speaker 1>just money they can do absolutely anything with. I think

1:44:26.240 --> 1:44:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the amount of fraud you'd seeds is very very high. Look,

1:44:30.120 --> 1:44:32.920
<v Speaker 1>you've got eighty billion dollars a year, it's estimated in

1:44:33.000 --> 1:44:36.799
<v Speaker 1>Medicare and Medicare fraud in America every year. Eighty billion

1:44:36.920 --> 1:44:40.920
<v Speaker 1>with a bee. So that's that's my sense of that.

1:44:41.040 --> 1:44:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we're going there anytime soon. And there

1:44:43.040 --> 1:44:44.960
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of people who would argue against it

1:44:45.200 --> 1:44:47.519
<v Speaker 1>for the very reason that it would eliminate jobs. There

1:44:47.520 --> 1:44:50.320
<v Speaker 1>are there are plenty of people that feel very strong

1:44:50.360 --> 1:44:55.120
<v Speaker 1>that we should have a large, overpaid and lethargic bureaucratic

1:44:55.160 --> 1:44:59.080
<v Speaker 1>class in this country working for the government, and that

1:44:59.080 --> 1:45:01.760
<v Speaker 1>that's has a state balizing influence on society. This is

1:45:01.760 --> 1:45:07.000
<v Speaker 1>a good thing and we should have these this bureaucratic establishment.

1:45:07.360 --> 1:45:09.760
<v Speaker 1>People do believe that I'm not one of them, but

1:45:09.840 --> 1:45:14.120
<v Speaker 1>there are people who think that way, and writes Jay,

1:45:15.200 --> 1:45:18.960
<v Speaker 1>just Jay, and I don't know what the secret code is,

1:45:19.240 --> 1:45:22.080
<v Speaker 1>but you have to write more to me and then

1:45:22.120 --> 1:45:24.479
<v Speaker 1>I'll know what the secret code is. We can keep

1:45:24.479 --> 1:45:29.120
<v Speaker 1>the party going. Irene writes, have you thought about joining CRTV?

1:45:29.360 --> 1:45:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Blaze TV? You are loved well. I read, first of

1:45:32.560 --> 1:45:35.040
<v Speaker 1>all very kind of you. Thank you for the encouragement

1:45:35.560 --> 1:45:39.880
<v Speaker 1>As to joining The Blaze or CRTV right now, I'm

1:45:40.080 --> 1:45:44.160
<v Speaker 1>in a contract with The Hill, so I couldn't do

1:45:44.240 --> 1:45:47.680
<v Speaker 1>another TV show right now, and I'm going to be

1:45:47.680 --> 1:45:51.080
<v Speaker 1>at the Hill for at least a few more months.

1:45:51.439 --> 1:45:55.120
<v Speaker 1>So the answer your question is, I'm always open to

1:45:55.160 --> 1:45:58.120
<v Speaker 1>working with good people in media, and especially good conservatives

1:45:58.120 --> 1:46:00.360
<v Speaker 1>in media. And I have a lot of friends and

1:46:00.400 --> 1:46:02.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people I really like and admire at

1:46:02.240 --> 1:46:06.040
<v Speaker 1>The Blaze and at CRTV. So we'll see what the

1:46:06.080 --> 1:46:09.040
<v Speaker 1>future holds. I really don't know. I'm I'm very focused

1:46:09.080 --> 1:46:12.120
<v Speaker 1>right now, first and foremost on this radio show, but

1:46:12.200 --> 1:46:17.120
<v Speaker 1>then also trying to expand out and do more well,

1:46:17.240 --> 1:46:21.200
<v Speaker 1>really just get more viewership for the Hill TV project

1:46:21.240 --> 1:46:24.799
<v Speaker 1>that we are working on, but ire and you're definitely

1:46:24.840 --> 1:46:29.920
<v Speaker 1>thinking in the right general direction. Matthew. Hope you feel better, bro.

1:46:30.080 --> 1:46:33.799
<v Speaker 1>You sounded god awful the other day. Well, Matthew, that

1:46:34.439 --> 1:46:37.639
<v Speaker 1>would be because I felt god awful and was very,

1:46:37.760 --> 1:46:40.439
<v Speaker 1>very sick. In fact, I kind of got sicker throughout

1:46:40.439 --> 1:46:41.880
<v Speaker 1>the day. I don't know how many of you have

1:46:41.920 --> 1:46:44.439
<v Speaker 1>had this where you know your cold is really bad

1:46:44.439 --> 1:46:46.360
<v Speaker 1>in the morning, but then you kind of you drink

1:46:46.360 --> 1:46:48.800
<v Speaker 1>your coffee, you know, you get some stuff moving, you

1:46:48.880 --> 1:46:51.880
<v Speaker 1>get get things flowing, and it's not untill later on

1:46:51.920 --> 1:46:54.240
<v Speaker 1>that day you realize, oh, I'm also exhausted, and my

1:46:54.400 --> 1:46:56.839
<v Speaker 1>entire body and my throat and my head are aching.

1:46:57.240 --> 1:47:00.680
<v Speaker 1>And that's where I was. It was. It was a

1:47:00.760 --> 1:47:03.600
<v Speaker 1>challenge to get through this show last week, for that

1:47:03.720 --> 1:47:05.840
<v Speaker 1>last day. I'm so glad though. I hope you all

1:47:05.920 --> 1:47:08.720
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed having Lisa Booth in. You'd like to keep you

1:47:08.760 --> 1:47:12.080
<v Speaker 1>all on your toes and get some new folks in

1:47:12.360 --> 1:47:16.040
<v Speaker 1>at the Mica in the Freedom Hut. So I'm hearing

1:47:16.080 --> 1:47:18.519
<v Speaker 1>good things about Lisa's film, which makes me very happy.

1:47:18.800 --> 1:47:21.040
<v Speaker 1>She's a great gal, very talented. You see here on

1:47:21.040 --> 1:47:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Fox News a lot, and I know the godfather, Michael

1:47:23.400 --> 1:47:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Palca hooked it up on Friday, as he always does. So. Indeed,

1:47:28.880 --> 1:47:31.599
<v Speaker 1>Ryan writes, Buck, I listen to your podcast almost every day.

1:47:32.160 --> 1:47:34.759
<v Speaker 1>A lot of times I'm working in people's homes installing

1:47:34.800 --> 1:47:38.439
<v Speaker 1>window coverings. It was absolutely hilarious to listen to Voice

1:47:38.439 --> 1:47:42.600
<v Speaker 1>of Freedom while MSNBC was blaring in the background. MSNBC

1:47:42.760 --> 1:47:46.599
<v Speaker 1>really is NonStop hatred of President Trump in the USA. Luckily,

1:47:46.640 --> 1:47:48.840
<v Speaker 1>here in Idaho, most people are still saying, keep up

1:47:48.840 --> 1:47:52.519
<v Speaker 1>the good work, drink or tea, Get well soon, Ryan, Well, Ryan,

1:47:52.600 --> 1:47:55.160
<v Speaker 1>thank you, and you should all remember that that you

1:47:55.280 --> 1:47:58.960
<v Speaker 1>can listen to and therefore carry with you the Freedom

1:47:59.040 --> 1:48:03.000
<v Speaker 1>hut A show wherever you go, wherever you are, so

1:48:03.120 --> 1:48:05.599
<v Speaker 1>you've always got a little bit of conservatism stored up

1:48:05.600 --> 1:48:07.840
<v Speaker 1>and in your pocket whenever you need it. So if

1:48:07.880 --> 1:48:12.360
<v Speaker 1>you happen to get stuck at a Marxist meditation festival

1:48:12.760 --> 1:48:16.639
<v Speaker 1>in Silicon Valley, you could just pull out on your

1:48:16.720 --> 1:48:19.599
<v Speaker 1>smartphone a little Buck Sexton show, and you know we're

1:48:19.640 --> 1:48:21.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna bring it home. We're gonna bring it home. It's

1:48:21.439 --> 1:48:26.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna be all good, Thomas writes, I do love your show.

1:48:26.400 --> 1:48:30.200
<v Speaker 1>A note on Bush forty one. Given the glowing press

1:48:30.240 --> 1:48:32.479
<v Speaker 1>he's been receiving after his death, it's easy to forget

1:48:32.479 --> 1:48:36.120
<v Speaker 1>that President Bush forty one maintained a consistently better than

1:48:36.160 --> 1:48:39.240
<v Speaker 1>fifty percent public approval rating until late in nineteen ninety one.

1:48:39.880 --> 1:48:42.080
<v Speaker 1>In fact, in early nineteen ninety one, he got up

1:48:42.120 --> 1:48:45.280
<v Speaker 1>to almost ninety percent. Is that right before the way

1:48:45.479 --> 1:48:48.599
<v Speaker 1>that find that hard to believe, Thomas, But okay, then

1:48:48.640 --> 1:48:50.479
<v Speaker 1>the press turned on him and destroyed him to get

1:48:50.479 --> 1:48:52.559
<v Speaker 1>Clinton elected. In a year and a half, he went

1:48:52.600 --> 1:48:55.120
<v Speaker 1>from eighty nine percent hide at below thirty percent. I

1:48:55.120 --> 1:48:57.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know about eighty nine percent approve of my friend.

1:48:57.080 --> 1:48:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I find that you have to show me some numbers

1:48:59.160 --> 1:49:01.720
<v Speaker 1>on that. In the nineteen ninety two general election, many

1:49:01.720 --> 1:49:04.120
<v Speaker 1>were saying anybody but Bush, and I believe that was

1:49:04.120 --> 1:49:06.000
<v Speaker 1>really thanks to the press. Thanks for all you do,

1:49:06.280 --> 1:49:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Thomas Oss. Thomas, thank you for writing in and belay

1:49:10.439 --> 1:49:12.200
<v Speaker 1>you could be running all those poll numbers. I just

1:49:12.439 --> 1:49:15.360
<v Speaker 1>that's just shockingly high approval. I can't imagine a president

1:49:15.880 --> 1:49:20.880
<v Speaker 1>at any time having approval. But as to the media

1:49:20.880 --> 1:49:22.519
<v Speaker 1>and their treatment a Bush, yeah, there was a lot.

1:49:22.560 --> 1:49:26.200
<v Speaker 1>There was a lot of disingenuousness with people who were

1:49:26.200 --> 1:49:28.760
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden pretending that they thought Bush was

1:49:28.800 --> 1:49:32.920
<v Speaker 1>so great, they were so supportive of his more refined

1:49:33.120 --> 1:49:36.920
<v Speaker 1>and dignified Republicanism than what we have now. But that

1:49:37.040 --> 1:49:39.920
<v Speaker 1>was mostly just to give them an opportunity, as we know,

1:49:40.479 --> 1:49:43.920
<v Speaker 1>to bash Trump. That was really what was motivating a

1:49:43.920 --> 1:49:47.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of the Oh Bush was so wonderful, And it

1:49:47.680 --> 1:49:50.960
<v Speaker 1>was definitely the case at the McCain funeral. And look,

1:49:51.000 --> 1:49:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I very much disagree with the decision that was made

1:49:53.760 --> 1:49:56.240
<v Speaker 1>at the McCain funeral by some people to use it

1:49:56.280 --> 1:49:59.680
<v Speaker 1>as a as a pulpit to attack President Trump. I

1:49:59.720 --> 1:50:01.720
<v Speaker 1>don't think that when someone looks back on a life

1:50:01.720 --> 1:50:04.439
<v Speaker 1>like John mccains, I don't think anybody should think that

1:50:04.479 --> 1:50:07.599
<v Speaker 1>it has really that Donald Trump really matters in that hole.

1:50:08.240 --> 1:50:10.400
<v Speaker 1>But they did decide that it mattered. I don't know.

1:50:10.439 --> 1:50:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was strange and I would not have

1:50:14.080 --> 1:50:16.080
<v Speaker 1>made that decision that I can say. Also, wasn't my

1:50:16.160 --> 1:50:19.479
<v Speaker 1>decision to make. Caroline dear Buck, I'm just gonna come

1:50:19.479 --> 1:50:22.120
<v Speaker 1>out and say it. I hate Santa. The elves work

1:50:22.160 --> 1:50:24.759
<v Speaker 1>all year long producing all these toys, and Santa puts

1:50:24.760 --> 1:50:28.280
<v Speaker 1>in one hour one rather twenty four hours shift the

1:50:28.280 --> 1:50:30.920
<v Speaker 1>whole year, and takes all the credit. It's kind of

1:50:30.920 --> 1:50:33.280
<v Speaker 1>like when the tax and spend democrats can graduate themselves

1:50:33.280 --> 1:50:36.080
<v Speaker 1>on all the free government goodies while the taxpayer is

1:50:36.120 --> 1:50:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the one who really produced the wealth. Anyway, Mary Christmas

1:50:39.160 --> 1:50:43.320
<v Speaker 1>and Shields I Carolyn, well, thank you Marylyn, Marilyn, Carolyn

1:50:43.560 --> 1:50:47.680
<v Speaker 1>else it was Maryland. I like your fun take on Santa,

1:50:47.800 --> 1:50:50.880
<v Speaker 1>and that's there we go. I'll leave it there. I

1:50:50.920 --> 1:50:53.120
<v Speaker 1>agree Santa. All of a sudden he shows up. Santa's

1:50:53.160 --> 1:50:55.280
<v Speaker 1>like the guy who throws an extra five dollars on

1:50:55.360 --> 1:50:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the table when somebody else pays like a for a

1:50:57.840 --> 1:51:00.200
<v Speaker 1>two hundred dollar dinner. But you know Santa us to

1:51:00.240 --> 1:51:02.000
<v Speaker 1>give a little more tips, so he throws in the five.

1:51:02.080 --> 1:51:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Those you've seen in the show friends know exactly what

1:51:03.960 --> 1:51:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about. That's gonna be in for the show today,

1:51:06.439 --> 1:51:09.320
<v Speaker 1>my friends. Speaking of friends, be back with you tomorrow.

1:51:09.320 --> 1:51:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm back in action this week. Don't worry. I'm not

1:51:11.360 --> 1:51:15.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna get sick this week. The buckster is in the saddle.

1:51:15.160 --> 1:51:17.639
