1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Bernie Sanders is defending 2 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: the socialism that he wants to impose upon the rest 3 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: of America. We will talk about that and also just 4 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: all the crazy ideas that Democrats are putting forward to 5 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: try and outdo each other from the left, including letting 6 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: the Boston Marathon bomber vote in elections. This is gonna 7 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: be wild, folks. Strap in the buck Sexton shows coming up. 8 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or 9 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 10 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: Make no mistake American, You're a great American. Again, the 11 00:00:51,760 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show begins, He's a great guy. No. Is 12 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: it your assumption that I supported or believe in authoritarian 13 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: communism that existed in the Soviet Union, I don't never 14 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: happen I opposed it. I think it's also fair to 15 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: point out that when we were in Moscow, for example, 16 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: I think most of the people here also were extremely 17 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: impressed by their public transportation system. The stations themselves were 18 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 1: absolutely beautiful. Also, I was impressed by the youth programs 19 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: that they have and cultural programs which go far beyond 20 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: what we knew in this country. Is it your assumption 21 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: that I supported or believe in authoritarian communism that existed 22 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: in the Soviet Union, I don't, and never happen. I 23 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: opposed it. I'm Jane Sanders. The city was beautiful, We 24 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: were standard with the openness, the optimism, the enthusiasm. I 25 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: think the things that struck me the most were the 26 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: way that they dealt with children and with the cultural 27 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: life of their community. They put the money into public 28 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: facilities and we have they have palaces culture which are 29 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: paid for strictly by trade union dues. Why is there 30 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: a policy in this country which is producing more and 31 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: more nuclear weapons which is increasingly antagonistic to well to 32 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union. Is it your assumption that I supported 33 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: or believe in authoritarian communism that existed in the Soviet Union. 34 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: I don't, never happened. I opposed it. Welcome to the buck, 35 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: sex and share everybody. We thought we'd give you a 36 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: little taste of Bernie Sanders then and now. I don't 37 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: support Soviet communism. But he kind of honeymooned in the 38 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: Soviet Union with his wife and used to say really 39 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: nice things about the Soviet Union late in the game too. 40 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: This isn't like the early stage leftists in this country 41 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: back in the fifties and the sixties, who were very 42 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: favorable toward the totalitarianism of the Kremlin and the enslavement 43 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: of hundreds of millions of people behind the Iron Curtain. 44 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: They were very favorable to it back then. This we're 45 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: talking about the eighties now, where Bernie, if not a 46 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: commy himself, Bernie was sort of a quasi commy. He 47 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: certainly had nice things to say about commies. And I 48 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: would want someone to ask him today in some detail, 49 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: is your problem with the Soviet Union burn that it's 50 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: a bad idea that goes contra human nature, natural law 51 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: and individual rights? Or is it just that it doesn't work? 52 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: It didn't work, you know, That's what someone has to 53 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: explain to me. Is it just that communism wasn't tried 54 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: the right way that time? Or does Bernie oppose communism 55 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: always and at all times. I think this is fair 56 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: I think this is fair game. And we should wonder 57 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: what his answer would be. You know, there was this 58 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: town hall. Now you got all these democrats. It's going 59 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: to be fantastic to watch them just just stumble over 60 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: each other, desperate to prove who's the most left wing. 61 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: You know, who's the real deal, who's the one that 62 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: really represents left wing Democratic Party values to the rabid 63 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: anti Trump, anti capitalist base that is now Progressive America. 64 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: You know who is going to say the wildest stuff, 65 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: the most outrageous, indefensible stuff. Well that's a very open question, 66 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: isn't it. Bernie Sanders on the issue of letting people 67 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: remember not form, I'm open to the argument about former 68 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: felons voting, and I think that there's a there's a 69 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: case to be made there, depending on the specifics of 70 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: it that you know, you serve your time, you served 71 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: your debt to society. I think that you should have 72 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: the restitution of rights, including if you're a non violent criminal, 73 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: I think you should have restitution of your Second Amendment rights. 74 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: By the way, I don't think that writing, you know, 75 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: forging a check means that you should never be able 76 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: to defend yourself and your family again with a firearm. 77 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. But then the burn takes it a bit 78 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: further as and wherever Burne goes, now the Democrats that 79 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: are running against him have to kind of follow because 80 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: he is where the id the instinct of the Democratic 81 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: Party is currently found. Bernie thinks that maybe it's okay. 82 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: I'm not making this up. We got the audio. You're 83 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: gonna hear it. Bernie thinks, maybe it's okay for the 84 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: Boston Marathon bomber to vote from prison. That's right, people, 85 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: including heinous murderers, terrorists, traders, should be able to vote for, say, 86 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: the next president United States. According to Bernie Sanders play 87 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: clip seven. But our constitution says is that everybody can vote. 88 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: That is true, So people in jail can vote. Now 89 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: Here is my view. If somebody commits a serious crime, 90 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: sexual assault, myrtle, they're gonna be punished. They may be 91 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: in jail for ten years, twenty years, fifty years, the 92 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: whole lives. That's what happens when you commit a serious crime. 93 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: But I think the right to vote is inherent to 94 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: our democracy. Yes, even for terrible people. You think the 95 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: Boston Marathon bomber should vote, not after he pays his 96 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: debts to society, but while he's in jail. Are you 97 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: sure about that? But I do believe. Look, you know 98 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: this is what I believe. Do you believe in democracy? 99 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: Do you believe that every single American eighteen years of 100 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: age or older, was an American citizen has the right 101 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: to vote. No, Bernie, you don't just get to keep 102 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: all your rights all the time, absolutely, no matter what, 103 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: under all circumstances. You don't get to keep your freedom 104 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: if the state decides that you have violated its laws. 105 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: I don't think you necessarily get to keep the right 106 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: to vote. Man. That was touchdown Bernie Sanders there in 107 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: the in the crazy super Bowl. Bernie just caught a 108 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: forty yard bomb in the end zone there. That was wow. 109 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: Even bro Cuomo, who's like Bernie, do you even lift 110 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: bro Even bro Cuomo was taken aback by it for 111 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: a second there. Now you might say, Bucks, that's the burn. 112 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: That's not indicative of where the rest of the Democratic 113 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: Party is. You're maybe that could be true, although you 114 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: know that's not true. They're all crazy, right, or at 115 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: least they're all pretending to be crazy because they're base 116 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: the far left that they need to win over. Right now, 117 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: they are nuts. But Kamala Harris very establishment figure among 118 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: the Democrats, very you know, very much the kind of 119 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: resume and persona and tone that the Democrats are looking 120 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: for this election. They love Kamala Harris. What does she 121 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: say about the Boston Marathon bomber being allowed to vote 122 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: from prison. Lay eight. I have been long an advocate 123 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: of making sure that the formerly incarcerated are not denied 124 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: a right to vote, which is the case in so 125 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: many states in our country, in some states permanently deprived 126 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: of the right to vote. And these are policies that 127 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: go back to Jim Crow. These are policies that go 128 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: back to the heart of policies that have been about disenfranchisement, 129 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: policies that continue until today. And we need to take 130 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: it seriously. But people who are convicted in prison, like 131 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: the Boston Marathon bomber, death row, people who are convicted 132 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: of sexual assault, they should be able to vote. I 133 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: think we should have that conversation. I think we should 134 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: have that conversation. Is Democrat politicians speak for. I mean, 135 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave it open to your interpretation so the 136 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: base doesn't turn to me right now. But once it 137 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: becomes clear that I've got to actually win over like 138 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: normal Americans who aren't lunatics, I'm gonna pretend like I 139 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: never said I like the idea. I just wanted to 140 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: have a conversation. Oh man, Oh you gotta love Democrats. 141 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: It must be fun to run around and just say 142 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 1: whatever you want to say, whatever you want to say 143 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: at no principles, the stakes or whatever you say. They 144 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: already given time. Oh my, we have a jam pact show, folks, 145 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: a lot to get too. Promises to destroy individual rights 146 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: like the Second Amendment from Democrat candidates. I mean, the 147 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: looney left is going to be the main theme of 148 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: today's show. So we are going to have some fun 149 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: with that one. I can assure you stay with me 150 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: if I'm after next year. None of those times are 151 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: going to pass they want you to take. So I 152 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: think as a gram reaper that doesn't the President Cocaine 153 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: Mitch aka Mitch McConnell saying that he's the grim reaper 154 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: of socialism when it comes to the legislative body of 155 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: the United States government. And I like it, you know, 156 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: Mitch is I get you know, I get that there's 157 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 1: a lot of there's a lot of criticism about Mitch 158 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: being an establishment guy, establishment Republican and all that. You know, folks, 159 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 1: we all always have to be objective about giving credit 160 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: where it's due on our side, on any side. And 161 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: you know, Mitch held the line on Merrick Garland, and 162 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: now we have a pretty solid conservative instead of having 163 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: you know, wishywashy liberal Merrick Garland on the court. And 164 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: Mitch has been excellent on getting conservative justice is appointed 165 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: to the federal bench for a long time now, so 166 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: you know, and that's gonna be Mitch's legacy. And look, 167 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: the guy's not on board with socialism. So let's let's 168 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: make sure that we remember that we have allies in 169 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: this process who well they may be imperfect, they should 170 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: they should get praise, were deserved, and we should welcome them. 171 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: And you know, Mitch McConnell is a very he's a 172 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: kg catman. I mean, he knows parliamentary procedure, he knows 173 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: all the tricks, and you know, he has been very 174 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: effective on a number of issues. Now, he's not good 175 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: on immigration, he's not. There's some places where you know, 176 00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: Mitch and I have strong, strenuous disagreements. But he's been 177 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: pretty good on some of this stuff. He really has. 178 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: He's actually been willing to take a lot of heat 179 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: from the press too. That brings me to this Deblasio's 180 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: skyscraper situation in New York City, Kaiseville Haam Deblasio Yeah, 181 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 1: So he's saying that they're gonna have city legislation in 182 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: New York that's gonna make glass and steel skyscrapers essentially 183 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: cost prohibitive, and you could have a million dollars five 184 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: in all all this crazy stuff. This is what Deblasi 185 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: has been saying about that play clip nine. We are 186 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: going to introduce legislation to ban the glass and steel 187 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: skyscrapers that have contributed so much to global warming. They 188 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: have no place in our city or in our earth anymore. 189 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: If a company wants to build a big skyscraper, they 190 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: can use a lot of glass, if they do all 191 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: the other things needed to reduce to SEE emissions, But 192 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: putting up monuments to themselves that harmed our earth and 193 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: threatened our future, that will no longer be allowed in 194 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: New York City. I just want to know what this 195 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: idiot is going to replace those or what he thinks 196 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: is going to replace that standard of glass and steel skyscraper. 197 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: What does he think is going to happen? Are all 198 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: buildings gonna be You're you're gonna have a hundred story 199 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: brick buildings now, or you know, sixty story brick buildings. 200 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: Do that? Is that what he thinks is that's better 201 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: for the environment. That's a better idea. I mean, he's 202 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: de Blasio is so spectacularly stupid that I don't know, 203 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: I don't even know what he thinks he's trying to do. 204 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: This then reminded me of how yesterday I did not 205 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: I did not spend ample time or any time for 206 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: that matter, on the fact that it was Earth Day. 207 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: Yay Earth Day? Whose Earth? Our Earth? Occupy Earth Day? Yeah? 208 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: Remember climate climate change, alarmism, worship of environmentalism. This is 209 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,719 Speaker 1: religious belief for people who think they're too smart for 210 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: religious belief. But AEI, which I'm sure the climate change 211 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: you know maniacs would just yell, is basically a subsidiary 212 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: of you know, x on or something. But who cares 213 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: a guys got smart people. AID pulled together in this 214 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: article as Aliday, this is this is an honor of 215 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: Earth Day, which is I'm celebrating with you Nowaday, I'm 216 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: not really celebrating it. We're kind of ridiculing it, which 217 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: is what we should do. But an honor of Earth Day. 218 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: AI pulled together this article of eighteen examples of quote 219 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: spectacularly wrong predictions made in nineteen seventy when the Green 220 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: Holy Day, which we now call Earth Day began, So 221 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: when Earth Day started back in nineteen seventy or right 222 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: around nineteen seventy. This is what the intelligencia, the earth 223 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: climate science, global warming intelligentsia. We're not just saying offense, 224 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: we're publishing. I mean this is what they were putting 225 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: forward as their predictions. And I want you to keep 226 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: in mind that some of these scientists to this day 227 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: are their research is still relied on there. Some of 228 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: them are still called upon as experts of the now. 229 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: They're getting pretty old. So but this tells you about 230 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: how wrong they've actually have been and can be. Here 231 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: you go, this is this is from AEI, and I 232 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: think the author of the piece is Mark Perry. You 233 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: got number one Harvard biologists. Remember in honor Earthday, folks, 234 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna make fun of it. Harvard biologist George Walt 235 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: estimated that civilization would end within fifteen or thirty years 236 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: unless immediate action was taken against problems facing mankind. Quote, 237 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: we are in an environmental crisis threatens the survival of 238 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: this nation and of the world as a suitable place 239 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: of human habitation, wrote Washington. University biologist very Commoner in 240 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: the Earth Day issue of the scholarly journal Environment. The 241 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: day after the first Earth Day, the New York Times 242 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: editorial page warned, quote, man must stop pollution and conserve 243 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: his resources, not merely to enhance existence, but to save 244 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction. Number four 245 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: on this list, population will inevitable, inevitably, and completely outstrip 246 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: whatever small increases in food supplies we make. This is 247 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: Paul Rlick confidently declaring in the April nineteen seventy issue 248 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: of Mademoiselle magazine, the death rate will increase until at 249 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: least one hundred to two hundred million people a year 250 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: will be starving to death during the next ten years. 251 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: That was in nineteen seventy. Anyone want to take a 252 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: little guess as to how wrong he was. It's easy. 253 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: Totally wrong. It is already too late to avoid mass starvation, 254 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: declared Dennis Hayes, the chief organizer for Earth Day, in 255 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: the spring nineteen seventy issue of The Living Wilderness. Oh 256 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: it goes on number eleven. I'm not gonna read all 257 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: of them, because come on, but number eleven on this list, 258 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: very Commoner predicted that decaying organic pollutants would use up 259 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: all of the oxygen in America's rivers, causing freshwater fish 260 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: to suffocate. Ecologist Kenneth Watt declared, by the year two thousand, 261 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: if present trends continue, we will be using up crude 262 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: oil at such a rate that there won't be any 263 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: more crude oil. You'll drive up to the pump and 264 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: say fill her up, buddy, and he'll say, I'm very sorry, 265 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: there isn't. Harrison Brown, a scientist at the National Academy 266 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: of Science Is, published a chart in Scientific American that 267 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: looked at metal reserves and estimated the human that humanity 268 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: would run out of copper after the year two thousand, Lead, zinc, tin, gold, 269 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: and silver we would run out of before nineteen ninety. 270 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: It just goes on and on and on. That's right, folks. 271 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: Scientists in the nineteen seventies, the same people that were 272 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: being published in pure view journals and the leading lights 273 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: of the Earth Day movement, they thought we were going 274 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: to run out of fuel, oil, run out of food. 275 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 1: There'd be mass starvation, there'd be catastrophic global warming. The 276 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: seas would rise and swamp entire countries and there'd be 277 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: you know, massive species die off and that the human 278 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: race faced extinction. These are supposedly serious scientists who are 279 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: part of the green earth clergy. Why do we still 280 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 1: have to take any of these people seriously? I'm just wondering, 281 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: why is it okay that they're so spectacularly wrong and 282 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: not about particularly complicated issues. Why do the catastrophists get 283 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: away with this again and again and again because it's 284 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: a religious belief for people who think they're too smart 285 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: for religion. That's pretty much why Happy Earth Day, everybody. 286 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: We'll be right back. We need reasonable gun safety laws 287 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: in this country, starting with universal background checks and a 288 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: renewal of the assault weapon ban, but they have failed 289 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: to have the courage to act. So, Ben, here is 290 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: my response to you. Upon being elected, I will give 291 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: the United States Congress one hundred days to get their 292 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: act together and have the courage to pass reasonable gun 293 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: safety laws, and if they fail to do it, then 294 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: I will take executive action. And specifically, what I will 295 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 1: do is put in place a requirement that for anyone 296 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: who sells more than five guns a year, they are 297 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: required to do background checks when they sell those guns. 298 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 1: I will require that for any gun dealer that breaks 299 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: the law, the ATF take their license. Tyranny, Kamala Harris 300 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: promises you, folks, tyranny that's right. An executive branch of 301 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: government that will in response to Congress not passing certain laws, 302 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: laws that go right to the heart of a constitutionally 303 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: protected right. Kamala Harris is telling you that she will 304 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: just go around. She's got a pen on a phone, 305 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: you could say, just like Obama used to, and she 306 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: will go around the Congress if she's elected president, and 307 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: she will take executive action to take guns from people. 308 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: She will decide that you're lawfully owned a R fifteen 309 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: should be taken from you, because she says so. Not 310 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: a single person I've ever heard has made a worthwhile 311 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: argument about why millions and millions of rifles legally owned 312 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: and in circulation right now and protected under the second 313 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: a member of the Constitution, should be taken away from you. 314 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: I have never, I have never in my life heard 315 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: somebody make a compelling case about this. The data does 316 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: not back up that lawfully owned R fifteen or any 317 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: semi automatic rifle that they consider an assault rifle are 318 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: a real threat to public health. And safety. The data 319 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: doesn't back it up. The Second Amendment doesn't have and 320 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: oh that's scary looking and I don't like it. Exception, 321 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: that's not a thing that exists in the law. But 322 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 1: I would also note that we've gone through a period 323 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: here where the President of the United States, President Trump, 324 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: has tried to go through Congress and then has tried 325 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: to take actions within his purview as the commander in chief. 326 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: Because when it comes to entry into the country of 327 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: foreign of foreign aliens, when it comes to security at 328 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: the border, these are executive branch functions, functions and places 329 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: where the president does have a lot of discretion and authority. 330 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: And we have had wailing from Democrats on this. I 331 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 1: mean just gnashing of teeth and rending of garments and 332 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: you know, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria. They 333 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: are completely freaked out because they say that what Trump 334 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: is doing is tyrannical, because what Trump is doing is 335 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: sure to you know, lead to people getting sented to 336 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: detainee facilities all across the country, and you know, Trump 337 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: is hitler and all this crazy stuff. You know, the 338 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: immigration and customs enforcement must be disbanded, and I mean 339 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: the things that Democrats say about this administration are just unhinged, 340 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: completely unhinged. And yet here's Kamala Harris promising when Congress 341 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: doesn't do what she wants to, just say, Yeah, the 342 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: Second Amendment doesn't really count anymore. I'm gonna I'm gonna 343 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: ban assault rifles with executive action. Gonna so you're gonna 344 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: turn people. You're gonna turn legal gun owners into felons. 345 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,719 Speaker 1: That's what they did in the state of Connecticut. By 346 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: the way, you didn't hand over your your semi automatic rifle, 347 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: you are technically in violation of Connecticut law. You can 348 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: go to prison for that. Kamala is promising what she 349 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: views as a kind of benevolent tyranny, and the media 350 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 1: doesn't say a peep, no problem with it, because she's 351 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: on their team. You see, the media is on her 352 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: team and she's on theirs. So all that talk you've 353 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: heard in recent months about how President Trump is exceeding 354 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 1: constitutional authority of the president, all that stuff, that's all 355 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 1: it's all bull it's all lies, all right, It's just 356 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: it's just flatly not true. And does the media holder 357 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: to account for it. No, No, that not. We have 358 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: a lot more coming up to talk about on college 359 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: college loans, the jubilee that really the Democrats are kind 360 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: of proposing here. I'll explain that in a few moments, 361 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 1: but I just I like to keep us all up 362 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: to speed on the Jesse smolette as somebody who knew 363 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: Jesse was lying all along and was vocal about it. 364 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: I like to do those Jesse Smolette updates. Turns out 365 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: the Osendro brothers, who are the two Nigerian brothers who 366 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: he hired to attack him, and we all know this. 367 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: They and it's funny. I don't think that they broke 368 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: any law because they were essentially paid actors. They didn't 369 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: unless they gave false statements to the Thord and they 370 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: didn't do anything wrong. They just showed up and like, 371 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: we're part of this bizarre scheme to you know. I 372 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe you get them on conspiracy. I don't 373 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: know what the charge would be against them. I think 374 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: that they just they were hired to do this weird thing. 375 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what they really did. But the Osendiro 376 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: brothers are suing Jesse, so we may in civil court 377 00:23:54,600 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: finally get some justice. Play fifteen. We have watched lie 378 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: after lie being fabricated about us in the media only 379 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: so one big lie he would continue to have life. 380 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: These lies are destroying our character and our reputation in 381 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:25,959 Speaker 1: our personal and professional life. So the attorney there is 382 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: reading the statement saying that they're gonna they're gonna sue 383 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: for I think a defamation of character. Forget what the 384 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: specifics are, but just any judicial process that would force 385 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: discovery will force some reckoning for Jesse Smolette with all 386 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: the lies. You know. I look, I would let this. 387 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,479 Speaker 1: I would. I would not be as I wouldn't let 388 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: it go, but I wouldn't be as energized about this case. 389 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: Still if he hadn't gotten a total pass because he's 390 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: he's a protected individual, because he gets a special kind 391 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: of justice, I would have except he had to walk 392 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: out afterwards say I never lied. I would never lie. 393 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: It's just too much, too much. The stomach just just 394 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: can't do it, can't do it. So I decided that 395 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: we would do it live team. We're gonna come back 396 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: and talk about the plan by Elizabeth Warren to make 397 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: all the college debts get white to it. What have 398 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: you already paid off your loans? Though? Oh too bad 399 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: for you. I guess that's coming up. I am someone 400 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: that runs in a purple state. It is a state 401 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: that when I first started running for office, the other 402 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: senator was Republican, the governor was Republican, and three of 403 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: our four constitutional officers were Republican. And then I started running, 404 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: and every single time I have run, I have won 405 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: every single congressional district in my state, including Michelle Bachmann's. Okay, 406 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: it's when you guys are supposed to cheer. Okay, all right, 407 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: so ash when you guys are shappost cheer. Amy klobisher 408 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: a telling you that she would jevery erace and she's 409 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: very charming. And she also eats salad with an old comb. 410 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: Oh that's so gross. Remember the story about eating the 411 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 1: salad with the comb and making one of her staffers 412 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: clean clean the salad off the comb. I don't know 413 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: what it is, but just you know, honestly, eating mac 414 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: and cheese with a comb. It's a little rough around 415 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: the edges, but I could see it, you know, But 416 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: eating a salad like you get the dressing and the 417 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: comb and maybe some hair and the salad, and it's 418 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: so gross, so gross. Amy klobaschar yet and throwing things 419 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: at her staff, and everyone talks about how horrible she 420 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 1: is to them, but she's still running because she won 421 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: every district in that you know whatever that was. This 422 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: is where you're supposed to clap. Not quite as lame 423 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: as Jeb Bush. Please clap job oh man, please ye 424 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: there you go. Thank you. Jeb's purpose in the last 425 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: election was just for those of us who pay attention 426 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: to finally shut down this talking point that, oh, that's right, 427 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 1: if you if you spend enough money, you'll win an election. 428 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: I think Jeb spent almost one hundred million dollars and 429 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: got like two delegates or something. I mean, it was 430 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: just an astonishing fail, massive fail from Jeb Bush. But 431 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: oh yeah, something we'll revisit another time. I had more thoughts, 432 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 1: speaking of revisiting, more thoughts on this free tuition situation 433 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: that's really gotten a lot of attention from Elizabeth Warren, 434 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: because Elizabeth Warren is now the Democrat who has to 435 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: go kind of bullworth. I don't know how many of 436 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: you remember that movie with Warren Beatty and halle Berry 437 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: where it's about a politician who decides he's just gonna 438 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: start speaking the truth because he kind of has a 439 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: breakdown or I forget, I can't remember if he has cancer, 440 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: if he has a breakdown or whatever, but he doesn't 441 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: care anymore. It's a cool concept. It was not executed well. 442 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: It is not a good movie in large part because 443 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: I think they weren't even willing to write things to 444 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: have this guy say that would have been interesting. I mean, 445 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: they try to make a movie about a guy being 446 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: politically incorrect who they wouldn't really allow to be politically incorrect. 447 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: But Warren is now the Democrat who is willing to 448 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: throw ideas out there because she's desperate to get some 449 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: kind of relevance. She's desperate to come up with a 450 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: way to get back at the top of the pack here, 451 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: and for me at least, I mean, I think it's 452 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: interesting to see a Democrat finally say what. A lot 453 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: of them maybe think she's pushing, obviously for impeachment. We'll 454 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: talk more about that. She's big on impeaching the president. 455 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: She's now said, oh, we must impeach. You know, I 456 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: go back and forth. It's just a question whether they 457 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: think it'll be good politics for them. It has nothing 458 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: to do with the evidence, It has nothing to do 459 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: with obviously with principles or being faithful to their offices 460 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: as elected members of the United States House of Representatives. Now, 461 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: there's nothing to do with that, right, I know, Warren's 462 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: obviously a senator, but it has nothing to do with 463 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: being in Congress. It's just whatever or respecting congressional oversight 464 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: in the role they play in our democracy, and blah 465 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: blah blah. It's just will this help Democrats beat Trump? 466 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: If the answers yes, they'll do it. If they think 467 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: the answers no, they won't. Everything else's noise, But free 468 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: tuition is an interesting concept that's definitely getting more and 469 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: more attention from folks. Play This is what Warren lays 470 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: out for her there, or this is free college tuition 471 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: for people who currently have student loan debt. So it's 472 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: really actually just debt forgiveness. It's a kind of small scale. 473 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: Some of you may be familiar with the biblical concept 474 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: of a jubilee where all debts are wiped away, maybe 475 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: something we should talk about in some detail on the 476 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: show another time, but this has been around for a 477 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: long time, the resetting of an economic cycle and the 478 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: jubilee on the freedom from debt that a society will 479 00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: impose upon itself with real consequences, but a way of 480 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: kind of cleansing the economic system. This is a kind 481 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: of campus jubilee, or at least a student loan jubilee 482 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: that she's talking about here play Cliptu. We are going 483 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: to roll back student loan debt for about ninety five 484 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: percent of students who have debt. That's part one. And 485 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: part two is to make sure that we never get 486 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: in this mess again on student loan debt, and that 487 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: is to make college universally available with free tuition and fees, 488 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: and to put more money into pell grants so that 489 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: students of color, so that our poorest students have real 490 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: access to college, and that we put some real money 491 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: into our historically black colleges and universities. This is about 492 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: opportunity for every month. This is about the money ferry 493 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: that's going to magically appear and pay for all of 494 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: This is what it's really about, because the moment you 495 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: start to look at this plan in any detail, you 496 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: realize this is a disaster. So it's rolling back debt 497 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: and then making all college free. College is far too expensive. 498 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: Why is college far too expensive? Well, in part because 499 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: the lender for college is now the American taxpayer, and 500 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: colleges can keep jacking up their rates and building these 501 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: huge endowments and overpaying all these administrators and building multimillion 502 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: dollars dormitories for students, and you know, tens of millions 503 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: of dollars more than that probably on athletic facilities and 504 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: all this stuff. It's a total just wild spending orgy 505 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: with a lot of these colleges and universities, and war 506 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: In here sees us as a function first and foremost 507 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: of fairness. Let me say that the wealth tax that 508 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: she proposes is unworkable. So what she'll do is sell 509 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: us all on a wealth tax. Only will people over 510 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: fifty million? And yeah, can they afford two percent three 511 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,719 Speaker 1: percent of You're sure they can. How are you going 512 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: to extract that two or three percent from people who, 513 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: year in and year out are gonna probably have assets 514 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: that are locked up. Are you're gonna make them sell stock, 515 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: You're gonna make them sell shares in their company, You're 516 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: gonna make them sell Some of them might not have 517 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: three percent of their of their net worth readily available. 518 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: I mean, there are some people that are very, very 519 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: wealthy on paper that. I just want to know how 520 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: this is really going to work. You know, if you're 521 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: a major, if you're if you have a you know, 522 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: a billion dollar real estate portfolio, and you need to 523 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: liquidate three percent of your net worth to pay for 524 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: this special tax every by the way, it's every year. 525 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: How are you so that three percent and then another 526 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: three percent and then another three percent and then that's 527 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: actually gonna eat in your net worth pretty quickly? That 528 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: adds up. I mean this, this whole thing is is 529 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: a farce. It's a fantasy. There's no way it's going 530 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: to happen. But it's interesting to just talk about because 531 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: put aside the mechanics of paying for this free college 532 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: for in the future and eliminating debts in the past, 533 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: let's talk about fair. That the f word, as the 534 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: Democrats use it, fair right, pay You're fair? Sure. Obama 535 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: used to always say, what happens to the people that 536 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: have been struggling for the last twenty years to pay 537 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: off their student loans, that have managed to do so, 538 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: or let's say halfway through or at any stage of 539 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: the game, did they get know that they don't get 540 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: their money back? So the one the people that borrowed 541 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: responsibly and did what they're supposed to do. They suffered 542 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: and didn't They didn't, you know, put that down payment 543 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: on a house. They did. Look, I mean, I'm somebody 544 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: who didn't go to grad school because I don't want 545 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,719 Speaker 1: to take out the loans full stop. That's it. I mean, 546 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: I also wanted to do media, and thankfully it's worked out. 547 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: I'm kind of good at this, but I decided that, 548 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: you know, I just didn't want to take out a 549 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,239 Speaker 1: what would have been, by the time I paid it off, 550 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: a couple hundred thousand dollars to go to a business 551 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: school for two years. Didn't want to do it. But 552 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: if I had been told, oh, we'll do it and 553 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: then it'll be free, you know, in ten years, we'll 554 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: just wipe the whole thing away, I'd say, oh, maybe 555 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: I will do this now. It completely changes the incentive structure. 556 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: And what about the people? So they're the people who 557 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: didn't go because they didn't want to take out the 558 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: debt that people who have serviced those debts, and people 559 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: that chose to go to a two year college, or 560 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: chose to go to a trade school, or chose to 561 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: do an apprenticeship or instead of taking out a four 562 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: year degree so that they could put a down payment 563 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: on a house. Whatever. Do they get left out of 564 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: this whole thing too? Individual choices about one's personal finances 565 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: are not the government's job to remedy, and it is wrong. 566 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: That's right. It is wrong for the federal government to 567 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: step in and say, well, you know, we're going to 568 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: just make this better for you because you're a big 569 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: block of voters. I mean, this is like in Ghostbusters 570 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: when Bill Murray, playing doctor Pete Bankman, says to the mayor, 571 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters. Well, 572 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,240 Speaker 1: in this case, it's saving the bank accounts of registered voters. 573 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 1: But this is buying them off with taxpair of dollars. 574 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: It's not right. It's not right to do am I 575 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: open to college is too expensive. Yes. Do I think 576 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: that student loan debt should be non dischargeable? No? Do 577 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: I think the federal government should be making these loans 578 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 1: backing them the first place? No? Do I think that 579 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,399 Speaker 1: people should be responsible for their personal choices. Yes, there's 580 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: a sophisticated discussion to be had here, but free stuff 581 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: for everybody, free stuff all over, just rich people are 582 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: gonna pay.

And now we're 608 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: waiting on the public to make us do it. The Congress, 609 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: the Congress really does have to really does have to 610 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: step up to the plate. The fact of the matter is, 611 00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 1: I think that when you look at this report, you 612 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 1: can see that there's enough information there not only on 613 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 1: obstruction of justice, but also on collusion or conspiracy, whatever 614 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: you want to call it, to move forward with impeachment 615 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 1: on this president because if anything, even if he's not 616 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: impeachable at the time, if he doesn't, if we're not 617 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: successful in impeaching him, at least we're investigating it, doing 618 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: our dual diligence to hold him accountable. Look at the 619 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: mall report and look at some of the actions over 620 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 1: a thousand contacts between the Trump organization and the Trump administration. 621 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: Since he's a in an office that alone gets you 622 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: into criminal, corrupt activities. How come he can get away 623 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 1: with that? How come you guys are not looking into 624 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,319 Speaker 1: this deeper? You know, put character flaws aside, and this 625 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 1: president has a lot of character flaws. Put it aside. 626 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: Look at specifically the actions he's done. Because a lot 627 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 1: of the things we're fighting for access to healthcare, from 628 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 1: holding you know, for corporations accountable, to pushing back again 629 00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 1: the high rates of insulin, all of those things. Trump's 630 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: arrangement syndrome is real, my friends. You're hearing it. You're 631 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: hearing it all over the place right now. Yeah, just 632 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: Trump is just like the terrible bad man who does 633 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 1: like so many of the awful things, who's so just 634 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: like everything, and like I just hate his stupid face 635 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: and hair, and you know, it's just small man bad 636 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: and hate him. They can't even get the words out. 637 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,799 Speaker 1: They can't even figure out why they hate them. They 638 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: just know they hate him so much. And now we're 639 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: being told that Congress. They just want to stick to 640 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 1: the facts, you know, just just want to see what 641 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: we can really do here, what we can really accomplish, 642 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: and you know, look into ways that we can hold 643 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 1: the Trump administration accountable for this or that I'm sitting here. 644 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: I'm like, you guys are kidding me, right, We're an 645 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 1: election cycle. They want to have this, these these hearings 646 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: about about impeachment. They want to keep talking about criminal 647 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: charges when there were no criminal charges. Well, if there 648 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,760 Speaker 1: were no criminal charges, then what are we even talking about? 649 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: They sound like, I mean, this is really getting hard 650 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: to analyze these Democrats, to analyze people like Rashida Tali. 651 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: But you just heard from and Maxine Waters. Because if 652 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: you're not crazy, and if you listen to the show, 653 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: you're not because you have excellent taste in radio shows. 654 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: If you're not crazy, it's really hard to understand the 655 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,320 Speaker 1: mentality of somebody who all these issues clearly is crazy. 656 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: You know, it's hard to put yourself in the mindset 657 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: in the shoes of someone who is so completely separated 658 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: from reality here and who has been overcome by this 659 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 1: disdain for the president that really is a disease of 660 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 1: the mind. Now there's no there's zero chill, there is 661 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: zero calm, there's no zen when it comes to Democrats 662 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 1: and the way that they discuss approach deal with this president. 663 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,240 Speaker 1: And you know, they really could just take some solace, 664 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 1: you'd think, in the fact that there's going to be 665 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: an election soon. The president will be on the ballot, 666 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: at the top of the ballot. There'll be a referendum 667 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 1: on him. There's plenty of opportunity for them to make 668 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: the case about why he's not a good president. It 669 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: doesn't always have to be that he's literally hitler, which 670 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: is where we keep falling back into the Democrats. They 671 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 1: can't seem to just have a big boy, adult discussion 672 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: about why they don't like the President of United States 673 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: on policy or whatever. It always comes back to Ikey 674 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:38,240 Speaker 1: orange man, bad, hate him, hate everything about him, everyone 675 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 1: around him. They're embarrassing themselves. They don't think that the 676 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: way though, because one they're not self aware enough to 677 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: understand how foolish they sound the thing about you know, 678 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: and look what he's done on insulin prices. What is Trump? 679 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 1: The Trump Administration's actually working very hard and this is 680 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,280 Speaker 1: an area where people who are honest give them some credit, 681 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: working very hard to bring down prescription drug prices. And yeah, 682 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: insulin is a particular area of medicine where because of 683 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 1: some of the regulations and the way that our current 684 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 1: patent laws were insulin's way more expensive than it should be. 685 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 1: But it's not It's not Trump's fault. It's trying to 686 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,800 Speaker 1: actually bring down these prices. But this is like today, 687 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 1: I was on a panel on rising and so and said, oh, well, 688 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 1: you know, unlike the Democrats, you know, Trump doesn't care 689 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: about people in prison. This had to do with the 690 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: prison voting and said, really, the Trump administration one of 691 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 1: their main efforts over the last six months has been 692 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 1: this one, this first Step program, trying to help people 693 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 1: who were coming out of prison. And now we're just 694 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,320 Speaker 1: gonna pretend like that didn't happen. Well, this is true. 695 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: They did the same thing with Bush. Bush was an 696 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: evil warmonger, criminal, hated everybody but George W. Bush, for 697 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,840 Speaker 1: whatever flaws, he had probably saved more lives in Africa 698 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 1: alone than any president could directly take any kind of 699 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 1: credit for, you know, in in the modern era, I 700 00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: mean post World War two. I know, I don't even 701 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,800 Speaker 1: know how you'd measured live saved it by other presidents. 702 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 1: But I mean Trump with the efforts. I mean it's 703 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 1: not Trump, but Bush with the efforts he'd made in 704 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,720 Speaker 1: Africa to just bring down HIV rates and bring down 705 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: age deaths millions of people. That was a huge Bush initiative. 706 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: By the way, the Trump administration is trying to push 707 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:24,360 Speaker 1: even further with criminal justice reform. And what I just 708 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,360 Speaker 1: think so interesting is that Democrats are going to have 709 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 1: to be in a position where Kamala Harris, who was 710 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 1: very lock them up when she was the district attorney 711 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 1: in San Francisco, she's actually pretty harsh or criminal, was 712 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 1: thinking about sending parents to prison for the truancy of 713 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 1: their kids. That's intense. They're going to have to be 714 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:47,279 Speaker 1: supporting her the Democrat establishment while essentially trashing Trump for 715 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:52,280 Speaker 1: trying to help people re reintegrate themselves into into society 716 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,799 Speaker 1: after they've served a prison sentence, which as we know, 717 00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 1: disproportionately African Americans are incarcerated in this kind tree and 718 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 1: the Trump administration is trying to help all prisoners, but 719 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 1: that's going to have a disproportionate impact helping African American prisoners. 720 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,799 Speaker 1: Democrats give them no credit for that, none. You know, 721 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna just turn around and act like none of 722 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 1: that ever happened because they're dishonest, because that's what Democrats do. 723 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 1: I suppose we've got more though, on the dossier that 724 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about, because this is 725 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 1: where the fight, the central fight I think over Russia 726 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,359 Speaker 1: collusion is about to go over the dossier and how 727 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:34,360 Speaker 1: it's a big fat lie. Background checks are a critical 728 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 1: part of any business these days. There's a lot of 729 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 1: ways that people try to come in under the radar, 730 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 1: try to make sure that you don't really know who 731 00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,799 Speaker 1: they are and what they're all about. That's why you 732 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 1: need Global Verification Network.

That's MYGVN dot com. 745 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: All Americans had their civil liberties compromised when you have 746 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:46,959 Speaker 1: a dossier presented to the fives accord and presented as 747 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 1: the whole truth, when the Justice Department withheld relevant material. 748 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 1: If they can do it to the president of the 749 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,799 Speaker 1: United States, they can do it to any of us, 750 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 1: any citizens. The entire et action of justice discussion is 751 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 1: a c legal discussion. The Mueller Report got the law 752 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,359 Speaker 1: completely wrong. They came to the conclusion that you could 753 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 1: actually indict a president for exercising his constitutional authority. That 754 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 1: just is not the law. It has never been the law, 755 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,760 Speaker 1: and it never should be the law, and every civil 756 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 1: libertarian should be upset about that. The dirsh has been 757 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 1: great on the Russia spygate issue. He's been great on it. 758 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,880 Speaker 1: Let's let's just say what it is. He's not a 759 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,880 Speaker 1: friend or Republicans in terms of his ideology, but he 760 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 1: is somebody who does believe in the law and civil liberties, 761 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 1: and it's it should be astonishing as we all look 762 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 1: at what's happened with the Democratic Party this country, just 763 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 1: how much they've been willing to abandon those things entirely. 764 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,280 Speaker 1: I mean, they used to at least pay lip service 765 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,799 Speaker 1: to them. Now I mean it's it's laughable. You know, 766 00:45:55,880 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 1: he mentioned the Steel dossier there. When we'll talk more 767 00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 1: about obstruction and Muller and all that a little later 768 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 1: on the show. But I want to I want to 769 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,880 Speaker 1: hone in on the Steel dossier component of this. If 770 00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 1: what happened to the Trump campaign and really what happened 771 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,720 Speaker 1: to Carter Page and George Popadopolis, if that is allowed 772 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 1: to stand, then it is entirely possible, entirely acceptable for 773 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:28,759 Speaker 1: the following scenario. Anyone who I don't like in politics, 774 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:33,359 Speaker 1: I could pay a third party to write up some 775 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 1: report on them with anonymous sourcing, and then take that 776 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:43,760 Speaker 1: report and then hand it to people in the FBI 777 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 1: that also don't like that person, and then they can 778 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 1: open up a full field investigation as they did on Popodopolis. 779 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 1: They could open up fise A surveillance as they did 780 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 1: on Carter Page. And the basis for all of this 781 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 1: is my pay somebody to write up a bunch of rumors, fabricating. 782 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 1: That's a fabrication. Intelligence work without sourcing is rumor mongering. 783 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,680 Speaker 1: I used to do this. I work for the CIA. 784 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: I know of what I speak here. If I try to, 785 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:25,799 Speaker 1: you know, task a satellite or run a human surveillance 786 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,719 Speaker 1: operation on somebody based on a piece of paper that 787 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,640 Speaker 1: someone slid under the door at the you know, at 788 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:37,360 Speaker 1: an embassy somewhere. Guess what I'd look like, a moron? 789 00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:43,239 Speaker 1: That is basically what happened here with the dossier. And 790 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,719 Speaker 1: I'd say I'd get fired. But you really don't get fired. 791 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:47,719 Speaker 1: You don't get fired for incompetence in government. You get 792 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:52,000 Speaker 1: fired for either breaking the regulations that they have or 793 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,759 Speaker 1: speaking out publicly against the institution. Those are things I'll 794 00:47:55,760 --> 00:48:00,239 Speaker 1: get you fired. But that's another conversation. The dossier was 795 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 1: a smear document paid for by the Clinton campaign, run 796 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:10,160 Speaker 1: through a law firm, relying on foreign intelligence operatives and sources. 797 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,440 Speaker 1: But because it was paid for, it's okay. If we 798 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 1: apply the democrats logic on the dossier to say the 799 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:24,160 Speaker 1: Trump campaign and the meeting in Trump Tower, it would 800 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:30,439 Speaker 1: have been okay. Again, this is Democrat logic. If Valerie Vezelitskaya, 801 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,239 Speaker 1: instead of saying, hey, I've got some information, do you 802 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,879 Speaker 1: guys want to take this? If a Trump campaid said no, no, 803 00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,879 Speaker 1: no, no no, no, we can't do that. We're gonna pay 804 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,280 Speaker 1: some British guy to sit in a meeting with you. 805 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 1: You give him the information and then we'll use it 806 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:47,920 Speaker 1: and run it to the FBI and do whatever we 807 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,719 Speaker 1: want with it. That's better. That is exactly what the 808 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 1: dossier was. It was a British intelligence officer cut out 809 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:03,520 Speaker 1: accepting money to make information from Russians for political purposes. 810 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,359 Speaker 1: Somebody try to tell me I'm wrong, I beg them. 811 00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 1: Somebody try to challenge me on this issue. They will 812 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 1: get crushed. Democrats have no answers. In fact, there was 813 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,000 Speaker 1: a rather spirited exchange I had with the former senior 814 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,920 Speaker 1: Obama Dojay guy on Rising earlier in the week, and 815 00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:21,959 Speaker 1: I kept saying, how is what I'm saying not true? 816 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,480 Speaker 1: But he just kept dodging, kept dodging, kept dodging. They 817 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 1: tried to the Muller people, the anti Trump Democrat left 818 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:35,839 Speaker 1: tried to tried to say that the acceptance of information 819 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,839 Speaker 1: from a foreign source is an illegal campaign contribution. These 820 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,520 Speaker 1: people are nuts information. So does that mean if I 821 00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 1: read the Guardian, that's a foreign source of British newspaper. 822 00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,680 Speaker 1: If I if I see a video on Russia today 823 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 1: that does some Hillary appo am, I is that a 824 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,320 Speaker 1: foreign Oh well that's media? Well, what are the distinctions 825 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:58,520 Speaker 1: are really making here is this is crazy. This is 826 00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,040 Speaker 1: absolutely crazy to see. They they have no real rules, 827 00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,479 Speaker 1: no real standards. It's just whatever hurts Trump is good, 828 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:09,400 Speaker 1: whatever helps Trump is bad. The dossier is going to 829 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:14,840 Speaker 1: be a huge problem for the Democrats and once Trump. 830 00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,400 Speaker 1: I just wish he would do it. And you know, 831 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,399 Speaker 1: I try to. I know that the president has more 832 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,440 Speaker 1: forces arrayed against him than any human being could ever imagine. 833 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 1: And I understand the pressures that he's under and the 834 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,080 Speaker 1: fact that the Left is They're not just trying to 835 00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 1: defeat him politically. They want to ruin him. They want 836 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,760 Speaker 1: to ruin his brand, they want to ruin his family, 837 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:34,919 Speaker 1: they want to imprison his family members. Because the Left 838 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,239 Speaker 1: is a bunch of crazy savages, all right, The Left 839 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:41,200 Speaker 1: just they're barbarians. They have they play by no rules 840 00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:42,840 Speaker 1: anymore when it comes to Trump. Whatever they can do 841 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:44,640 Speaker 1: destroy him. I get all that, but I do get 842 00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 1: frustrated sometimes I think the President should just release the 843 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:52,520 Speaker 1: unred just just release the fis of stuff. I know 844 00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 1: people can say, Buck, you can't be Oh no, I'm serious. 845 00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,880 Speaker 1: He should just order it. I want to see the 846 00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,680 Speaker 1: full fives applications. I don't I don't even care what. 847 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:02,840 Speaker 1: I don't care. No one's gonna no one's gonna be 848 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,920 Speaker 1: harm from this. What someone spoke to somebody about George 849 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,000 Speaker 1: Popadopolis or somebody spoke to somebody about Carter Page. No, no, 850 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:13,000 Speaker 1: no one's gonna end up, you know, on the floor 851 00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 1: of some sell and some hell hole because of this. 852 00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:16,919 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's just not that's just not going to happen. 853 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 1: We're not talking about some deep intel penetration of a 854 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,680 Speaker 1: hostile country. We're talking about a couple of clowns running 855 00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 1: around in America that have people that are desperately trying 856 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:29,960 Speaker 1: to take them down, using the federal government to do it. 857 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:31,759 Speaker 1: I think we should unleash all this stuff by I 858 00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,120 Speaker 1: don't mean to be mean about George and Carter. I 859 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:35,919 Speaker 1: just meant, you know, they're like kind of goofy guys. 860 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:41,759 Speaker 1: I actually actually like both of them, and you know, 861 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,160 Speaker 1: what's been done to them is terrible. I mean, I 862 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:44,920 Speaker 1: totally stand with them on this. I mean they were 863 00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,920 Speaker 1: essentially both smired as traitors. Mueller from when I was 864 00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,360 Speaker 1: reading the Muller Report, was trying to get him on 865 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:57,760 Speaker 1: being an unregistered agent of Israel. What they're gonna apply 866 00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,160 Speaker 1: a fairer violation at Israel, and Israels are close US ally. 867 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:02,839 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna do that because all along it has 868 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,560 Speaker 1: been oh well Russia, you know, you can't do bad 869 00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,759 Speaker 1: things with Russia. But I think Trump should release the 870 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:09,239 Speaker 1: full files that because you're going to see that the 871 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:14,280 Speaker 1: dossier was essentially everything. The dossier was the one source 872 00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,160 Speaker 1: in the bibliography that appears in the text, you know, 873 00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 1: one hundred times, and everything else that you know, I'm 874 00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:23,279 Speaker 1: using an academic analogy here, but everything else is just like, 875 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,200 Speaker 1: you know, patting the bibliography just to make it seem 876 00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 1: like there were more sources, but they really weren't. In fact, 877 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,560 Speaker 1: if you even go back and listen to Bob Woodward, 878 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:35,840 Speaker 1: this is from I think eighteen months ago, maybe I 879 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,440 Speaker 1: mean it's at least over a year ago. Bob Woodward, 880 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:44,360 Speaker 1: who was a revered journalist on the left. He was saying, look, guys, 881 00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,279 Speaker 1: this dossier thing, we gotta we gotta look into this 882 00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:51,799 Speaker 1: a little bit more. Play thirteen. Early in building the 883 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:58,200 Speaker 1: Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian interference, in an early draft, 884 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 1: they actually put the dossier on page two in kind 885 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 1: of a breakout box. I think it was the CIA 886 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:12,239 Speaker 1: pushing this. Real intelligence experts looked at this and said, no, 887 00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,959 Speaker 1: this is not intelligence, this is garbage, and they took 888 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,960 Speaker 1: it out. But in this process, the idea that they 889 00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,520 Speaker 1: would include something like that in one of the great 890 00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:31,120 Speaker 1: stellar intelligence assessments, as Muller also found out, is highly 891 00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:38,359 Speaker 1: questionable needs to be investigated. Garbage, Woodward says, And that 892 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 1: is what the dossier was. It was garbage. There's ridiculous stuff. 893 00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:47,360 Speaker 1: It just just patently ridiculous stuff in there, unsourced Russian sources. 894 00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:48,960 Speaker 1: In fact, now the New York Times, I don't know 895 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:50,640 Speaker 1: how many of you caught this, I meant to mention 896 00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,160 Speaker 1: on the show wrote a piece over the weekend about 897 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,799 Speaker 1: how the dossier. Get ready for this, folks, hold onto 898 00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:01,279 Speaker 1: your butts here it comes. The dossier's self may have 899 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:08,920 Speaker 1: been a Russian disinformation operation that Steele, Christopher Steele, fell 900 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:13,319 Speaker 1: for and then laundered through the media and ran up 901 00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,759 Speaker 1: the flagpole at the FBI in what would be one 902 00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 1: of the most successful disinformation campaigns any country has run 903 00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:25,080 Speaker 1: against another in history. That's right, the dossier as a 904 00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:30,680 Speaker 1: disinformation campaign. They didn't think about this before. This didn't 905 00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 1: occur to them until the Mulla probe ended. Oh oh, well, 906 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:37,279 Speaker 1: now it's safe to be somewhat honest about this. Right now, 907 00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,239 Speaker 1: it's safe to ask some of the most important and 908 00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 1: basic questions. The media and all this is such such 909 00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:50,360 Speaker 1: a disgrace. We must drill down to the dossier. I'm 910 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,960 Speaker 1: going to keep saying it because it's important. They are 911 00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,359 Speaker 1: lying to you about how this whole Russia collusion thing 912 00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,960 Speaker 1: got started. They are lying to you because when you 913 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,040 Speaker 1: find out, when we find out, it will be clear 914 00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:06,799 Speaker 1: that this was a conspiracy theory, that this was vindictive 915 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:15,240 Speaker 1: anti Trump partisans dishonestly concocting a Kakamamee story to destroy 916 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,360 Speaker 1: the would be a now current president of the United States. 917 00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:24,360 Speaker 1: And this was just OPO research treated as intelligence, the 918 00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,160 Speaker 1: kind of thing that you would see in some RinkyDink 919 00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:32,040 Speaker 1: third world country. It happened here in America. Intel services, 920 00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:38,480 Speaker 1: major media outlets brought in on the scheme. Appalling and 921 00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:42,719 Speaker 1: something that we need accountability for. Don't put impeachment on 922 00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,319 Speaker 1: the table as the only item on the table and 923 00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,439 Speaker 1: say you're going to get there no matter what which 924 00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:51,040 Speaker 1: is it's what happened in ninety nine. Instead, you say 925 00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:56,239 Speaker 1: we are going to proceed with the seriousness that this demands, 926 00:55:56,280 --> 00:56:00,360 Speaker 1: not to prejudge the outcome, but to examine the evidence 927 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:05,319 Speaker 1: as objectively as possible, and then to draw conclusions. And 928 00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:09,360 Speaker 1: if at that point they believe that high crimes and 929 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:13,080 Speaker 1: misdemeanors have been committed, then I think it is the 930 00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:17,040 Speaker 1: obligation of the Congress to put forward articles of impeachment. 931 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:23,399 Speaker 1: I mean, she's kidding, right, that's ridiculous. Oh, that's right. 932 00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,600 Speaker 1: It's an objective process that the Democrats are going to 933 00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,480 Speaker 1: embark on about whether or not they're going to impeach 934 00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:33,319 Speaker 1: Donald Trump entirely objective. You see these elected Democrat officials 935 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,680 Speaker 1: that are going to put the country now through month 936 00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:39,560 Speaker 1: after month of we need to hold hearings. We must 937 00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:43,239 Speaker 1: in defense of art democracy. And Hillary's gonna show up 938 00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,240 Speaker 1: once while I need to like, Wow, what you should 939 00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:50,919 Speaker 1: rarely do is vote for Hillary twenty twenty. That's right. 940 00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:55,360 Speaker 1: It might happen, folks, might happen. You laugh right now, 941 00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:01,000 Speaker 1: evil Hillary laugh. That's right, you laugh right now. But 942 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:07,480 Speaker 1: it could happen. There's no party leader, there's a there's 943 00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:09,920 Speaker 1: a lot of division among the various Democrats that are 944 00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:13,200 Speaker 1: running in terms of their their their base and everything else. 945 00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:19,640 Speaker 1: So I'm just saying, but Hillary coming out, she's the 946 00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:24,240 Speaker 1: voice of reason among Democrats. Now, isn't that stunning? Isn't 947 00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:28,720 Speaker 1: that quite a reminder of what's really going on in 948 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:32,280 Speaker 1: the world around you right now? Hillary Clinton is more 949 00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:36,360 Speaker 1: sane than the rest of the Democrat Party, and so 950 00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 1: she she gets to show up and be kind of 951 00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:44,520 Speaker 1: the the wise grandma of the Democrat Party. It's it's stunning, 952 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:49,760 Speaker 1: It really is. Jared Kushner, by the way, switching gears 953 00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:54,080 Speaker 1: here for a second, It's going to be presenting a 954 00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:59,000 Speaker 1: Middle East peace plan in the I think after after 955 00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:02,920 Speaker 1: Ramadan is what I read today, which I don't know 956 00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:04,360 Speaker 1: what will be in the plan, but I do know 957 00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,320 Speaker 1: that the smartest person that I've known in my life 958 00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:13,200 Speaker 1: on the Middle East peace process with or with Israel 959 00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:17,440 Speaker 1: and the Palestinians, we used to say that every administration 960 00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:21,240 Speaker 1: will try, every administration will fail, the Palestinians will make 961 00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 1: it worse, the settlers will build. That was his roadmap 962 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,960 Speaker 1: for all things peace process. And I know it's a 963 00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:33,040 Speaker 1: very cynical approach to all of that, but he's not wrong. 964 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,440 Speaker 1: We could say say what you will about it. The 965 00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 1: guy's not wrong. He hasn't been wrong so far. But 966 00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:43,640 Speaker 1: Kushner was speaking. He doesn't speak publicly all that often. 967 00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 1: And although people often tell me in the White House, 968 00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,840 Speaker 1: the folks that I talked to that Kushner may in 969 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:54,320 Speaker 1: fact be the single most powerful advisor in the United 970 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,280 Speaker 1: States government right now, the number one advisor to the 971 00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:03,080 Speaker 1: President of the United States. He's about, I think a 972 00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:07,000 Speaker 1: year or two old than me. Yep. I actually met 973 00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:08,919 Speaker 1: Jared a very long time ago to brunch. I don't 974 00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:10,720 Speaker 1: know if I sat in a meeting with Jared for 975 00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 1: an hour when he owned The Observer and I was 976 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:14,680 Speaker 1: sent over as a representative of the Blaze talk to 977 00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:18,880 Speaker 1: him about possible collaboration. So I've spoken to Jared a 978 00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,640 Speaker 1: few times. But anyway, Jared brought up a very good 979 00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 1: point about this whole collusion Russia interference nonsense, which is like, guys, 980 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,320 Speaker 1: can ever just get a grip on this thing? Can 981 00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:31,760 Speaker 1: we balance out what really happened versus what we've been 982 00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:34,640 Speaker 1: through for two years place sixteen. You look at you 983 00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:36,800 Speaker 1: know what Russia, did you know, buying some Facebook ads 984 00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:38,480 Speaker 1: to try to sew dissent and do it And it's 985 00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:42,040 Speaker 1: a terrible thing. But I think the investigations and all 986 00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,320 Speaker 1: of the speculation that's happened for the last two years 987 00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:47,160 Speaker 1: has had a much harsher impact on our democracy than 988 00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:48,960 Speaker 1: a couple of Facebook ads. And I spent about I 989 00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:50,960 Speaker 1: think they said they spent about one hundred and sixty thousand. 990 00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:52,840 Speaker 1: I spent one hundred and sixty thousand dollars on Facebook 991 00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,280 Speaker 1: every three hours during the campaign. So if you look 992 00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:57,440 Speaker 1: at the magnitude of what they did on what they accomplished, 993 00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,000 Speaker 1: I think the ensuing investigations have been way more hard. 994 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,520 Speaker 1: That is a really important point he makes. Okay, that's 995 01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 1: what I keep telling you about how you could give 996 01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:07,600 Speaker 1: a dollar to a billionaire handed to him and say 997 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:11,560 Speaker 1: I made that guy richer. And it's technically true. Russia 998 01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:14,000 Speaker 1: could run a few Facebook ads here and there and 999 01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:17,600 Speaker 1: say they interfered in our election. Technically true. But it 1000 01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,920 Speaker 1: is an eyedropper's worth of Facebook ads in an ocean 1001 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:28,480 Speaker 1: of presidential election politics online. This is why Obama did 1002 01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:33,040 Speaker 1: nothing about it, folks, nothing until Hillary lost. This is 1003 01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:36,040 Speaker 1: why the Democrats have been dishonest about this all along. 1004 01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,040 Speaker 1: It's all been one big con. It's all been one 1005 01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:41,720 Speaker 1: big lie. And Jared is spot on here with let's 1006 01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,880 Speaker 1: keep this all in perspective. If any other human being 1007 01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:49,320 Speaker 1: in this country had done what's documented in the Muller report, 1008 01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,320 Speaker 1: they would be arrested and put in jail. Obstruction of 1009 01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:58,480 Speaker 1: justice is a serious crime in this country. But Muller believed, 1010 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:03,280 Speaker 1: because of the direction from Donald Trump's Justice Department, that 1011 01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:07,280 Speaker 1: he could not bring a criminal indictment against a sitting president. 1012 01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:09,800 Speaker 1: So I think he's wrong on that, but that's what 1013 01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:13,160 Speaker 1: he believed. So he serves the whole thing up to 1014 01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:19,280 Speaker 1: the United States Congress. Elizabeth Warren is a liar. She's 1015 01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:23,360 Speaker 1: a liar because of what we know about her gaming 1016 01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:29,080 Speaker 1: of the system folka hauntis style in order to advance 1017 01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,040 Speaker 1: herself and just to give herself a more compelling narrative 1018 01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:36,040 Speaker 1: day to day. I spoke not long ago to somebody 1019 01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:40,640 Speaker 1: who studied with Elizabeth Warren at Harvard, was one of 1020 01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:44,440 Speaker 1: her students at Harvard Law School, and he told me 1021 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:48,400 Speaker 1: that she would regularly refer to being a Cherokee from 1022 01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:51,720 Speaker 1: you know, the Midwest, and that that was part of 1023 01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:54,680 Speaker 1: her identity. And this is how Elizabeth Warren tried to 1024 01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:58,440 Speaker 1: make herself relatable and cool and hip to the intersectional 1025 01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:02,640 Speaker 1: identity obsess left. So she's a fraud, she's a liar, 1026 01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,040 Speaker 1: somebody who doesn't and she maybe believes the lies she tells, 1027 01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:10,320 Speaker 1: but she's somebody who we cannot let get away with 1028 01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:12,280 Speaker 1: this stuff because the media is certainly gonna let her 1029 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,320 Speaker 1: get away. They're just like they have forgotten about the 1030 01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,640 Speaker 1: fact that she thought that being one one and twenty 1031 01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:21,360 Speaker 1: fourth Native American based on a DNA test qualified her 1032 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:24,800 Speaker 1: as Native American, and that she was doing a victory dance. 1033 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,440 Speaker 1: She was doing a victory dance at the time, well 1034 01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:35,080 Speaker 1: not to be confused with the rain dance, and she 1035 01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:39,600 Speaker 1: looked ridiculous. But the media still holds her up because 1036 01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,880 Speaker 1: of her that's right, Harvard credentials, and they're all obsessed 1037 01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:46,320 Speaker 1: with the notion that she's the more progressive Hillary and 1038 01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:48,120 Speaker 1: all this other stuff. What she said there about the 1039 01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:52,240 Speaker 1: Mueller report is just all is all crap, all crap. 1040 01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:56,800 Speaker 1: Let me just deal with this one right now. This 1041 01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:00,680 Speaker 1: and what what Mueller did is a disgrace because Muller 1042 01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:03,200 Speaker 1: doesn't like Trump, his people don't like Trump, and so 1043 01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:05,720 Speaker 1: what they did was they just lit a match and walk. 1044 01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,720 Speaker 1: They didn't have the courage of their convictions to say 1045 01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:13,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna torch this house. We're gonna torch you know, 1046 01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,720 Speaker 1: this this house of the Trump administration, so to speak. 1047 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:17,360 Speaker 1: So what they did was they said, well, we're just 1048 01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,680 Speaker 1: gonna leave a couple of lit cigarettes by the upholstery 1049 01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,760 Speaker 1: and see what happens. But you know, we're not saying 1050 01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,080 Speaker 1: that we should. We were not willing to openly light 1051 01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,160 Speaker 1: it on fire. We're just gonna leave some lit cigarettes 1052 01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,880 Speaker 1: and see if some other people maybe decide to let 1053 01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:35,000 Speaker 1: this thing burn. That's exactly what Muller and his team did. 1054 01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:40,640 Speaker 1: And let me say this, this this storyline the Democrats 1055 01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:42,400 Speaker 1: are clinging to that oh they never would have brought 1056 01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,080 Speaker 1: charges against Trump? Really, was that what they were saying 1057 01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:49,000 Speaker 1: before we were promised and the media was telling us 1058 01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:52,080 Speaker 1: night after night that Trump was going to be found, 1059 01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:53,960 Speaker 1: you know, the Trump is going to be criminally prosecuted 1060 01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:57,320 Speaker 1: or people around him. Remember they always leave that out, folks. 1061 01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:04,040 Speaker 1: This is really really important. Russia Trump campaign collusion was 1062 01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:08,200 Speaker 1: not just about the president, right, Who were they surveilling 1063 01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:15,000 Speaker 1: Carter Page George Papadopoulos low level campaign figures? If they 1064 01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,080 Speaker 1: and you know this as well as I do, if 1065 01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:22,160 Speaker 1: they had anything then amounted to coordination with the Russians, 1066 01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:25,440 Speaker 1: even if it wasn't illegal, any coordination of any kind 1067 01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:30,240 Speaker 1: with Roger Stone, with manaphor with any of these figures, 1068 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:34,400 Speaker 1: they would have claimed complete vindication. They would have said 1069 01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:37,200 Speaker 1: Trump as an illegitimate president, and if they could, they 1070 01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,479 Speaker 1: would have pressed for criminal charges against any of those 1071 01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:44,600 Speaker 1: people based upon possible conspiracy statue or an application of 1072 01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 1: the conspiracy statute. So it's not just Trump that was 1073 01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:52,800 Speaker 1: not charged. It's Donald Trump junior who was not charge 1074 01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,400 Speaker 1: who they said would be. It's Trump's senior advisors who 1075 01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,280 Speaker 1: were not charged on coordinating with the Russians. Yeah, some 1076 01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:02,680 Speaker 1: were charged with either lying or with tax fraud or 1077 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:04,760 Speaker 1: by or fraud with tax fraud. That had nothing to do. 1078 01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,240 Speaker 1: It didn't even happen while he's working for Trump, and 1079 01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:08,640 Speaker 1: not that it would matter if it did have him 1080 01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:12,000 Speaker 1: and he's working for Trump. But notice that this just 1081 01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:15,160 Speaker 1: becomes a narrator. This is a lie. It's not just 1082 01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:19,520 Speaker 1: Trump that was not charged, it's the campaign. Nobody on 1083 01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:23,920 Speaker 1: Trump's campaign was charged with coordinating with the Russians because 1084 01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:27,560 Speaker 1: they had nothing. They had nothing. It was all a lie. 1085 01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,680 Speaker 1: This was a conspiracy theory. That was fed to the 1086 01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:34,240 Speaker 1: rabid left wing base of lunatics, and you know it 1087 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,720 Speaker 1: and I know it. But then so that's one part 1088 01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:39,800 Speaker 1: of this ole. Oh, they couldn't have charged Trump, but 1089 01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:42,560 Speaker 1: they should have. I mean, she's saying here that anybody 1090 01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:45,040 Speaker 1: other than Trump would have been arrested and put in jail. 1091 01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:48,960 Speaker 1: That's a lie. The finest legal minds in the country, 1092 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:52,240 Speaker 1: who were not partisan hacks, look at this and say, 1093 01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:56,800 Speaker 1: at best, at best, it would be a stretch to 1094 01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,840 Speaker 1: use the evidence they have because there was no obstruction 1095 01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,480 Speaker 1: and there was no underlying crime. So now you're going 1096 01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:06,000 Speaker 1: to charge somebody with conspiracy to obstruct? Is that what 1097 01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,400 Speaker 1: you're going to say? Because that's not how the obstruction 1098 01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:12,720 Speaker 1: statue works. It's not I mused out loud about maybe 1099 01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,360 Speaker 1: obstructing something. It's either you did or you didn't. You 1100 01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:20,200 Speaker 1: do or you don't. So that's also just that this 1101 01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:24,080 Speaker 1: is just all lies, Melissas warren't lies on top of 1102 01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:28,760 Speaker 1: other lies. But this story that they're telling everybody that 1103 01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:33,080 Speaker 1: Muller was never going to bring charges against Trump or 1104 01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,720 Speaker 1: couldn't couldn't this way, they say Muller's hands were tied 1105 01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:38,440 Speaker 1: Saint Mueller, who was going to save the Republic. His 1106 01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:43,480 Speaker 1: hands were tied. We all know based on the way 1107 01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,920 Speaker 1: he wrote that report, he could have said very easily, 1108 01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:53,360 Speaker 1: there is nothing, literally nothing stopping him from having himself 1109 01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:55,560 Speaker 1: or Weissman or whoever is. You know, Genie read his 1110 01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:57,760 Speaker 1: whole team he has of Democrats who hate Trump, that 1111 01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:00,480 Speaker 1: we're working and had unlimited reach and resources to go 1112 01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:04,720 Speaker 1: after Trump and all those around him very well. Could 1113 01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:08,840 Speaker 1: have written in the Mulla Report, we would we would 1114 01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:13,880 Speaker 1: recommend a criminal charge against the president United States. But 1115 01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:16,840 Speaker 1: because of the guidance of the Department of Justice, we 1116 01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:20,520 Speaker 1: will know we know that that is not going to 1117 01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:23,160 Speaker 1: result in an actual charge from the Department of Justice 1118 01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,120 Speaker 1: against the president. They could have said that, they didn't 1119 01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:28,480 Speaker 1: say that. They didn't say that because they didn't have 1120 01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:32,160 Speaker 1: the evidence for it. They didn't have the case. It 1121 01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:34,760 Speaker 1: wasn't there. But now you're told, oh, well, they never 1122 01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:36,680 Speaker 1: could have brought charges. That's why they didn't. That's just 1123 01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:40,520 Speaker 1: not true. Let's stick to what was said. Can neither 1124 01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:46,760 Speaker 1: exonerate nor bring a charge against the president. They could 1125 01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:48,920 Speaker 1: have said, we would bring a charge, but we know 1126 01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:53,760 Speaker 1: that the president cannot legally be charged. Therefore, we passed 1127 01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:55,720 Speaker 1: this the Department of Justice and hope that Congress will 1128 01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:59,080 Speaker 1: take action. That's not what they said. So Elizabeth Warren 1129 01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,000 Speaker 1: is just is just mining and trying to get her 1130 01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:04,600 Speaker 1: left wing base all riled up here. But that's should 1131 01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:10,720 Speaker 1: be that should be unsurprising to everybody about the way 1132 01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:12,760 Speaker 1: that she conducts herself. Well, she's a desperate woman. She 1133 01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,520 Speaker 1: has something like one hundred and fifty staffers already staffs 1134 01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,000 Speaker 1: way too big, raised all this money. I mean, she's 1135 01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:23,559 Speaker 1: a Democrat establishment figure who is trying to run as 1136 01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,639 Speaker 1: some kind of you know, new style of politician who's 1137 01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:28,880 Speaker 1: going to be so progressive, and it's it's just all, 1138 01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:33,840 Speaker 1: it's just all crap. Both she is a massive, a 1139 01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:39,120 Speaker 1: massive phony. Nothing about her strikes me as as impressive. 1140 01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:41,640 Speaker 1: And the fact that she's a Harvard law or was 1141 01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:43,439 Speaker 1: a Harvard law professor, I don't know if she's still 1142 01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:45,360 Speaker 1: in the faculty there technically in some way or not. 1143 01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:51,479 Speaker 1: And can't even do basic legal analysis of what was 1144 01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:55,200 Speaker 1: in the Mulla report without just showing that this is 1145 01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,760 Speaker 1: all for her. A part is in a political exercise 1146 01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,040 Speaker 1: tells you a lot about about how who she is 1147 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:05,519 Speaker 1: and how she conducts herself. It also was interesting. We're 1148 01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:09,840 Speaker 1: gonna talk more about impeachment and the Special Counsel and 1149 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,160 Speaker 1: how these things tie together with my friend Charles Cook 1150 01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:15,160 Speaker 1: later on in the show. Charles from National Review, I'm 1151 01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:17,880 Speaker 1: sure many of he has the best British accent of 1152 01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:21,479 Speaker 1: anyone you'll ever hear on the radio. Oh, actually no, 1153 01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:25,360 Speaker 1: my friend Rahem Cassam might have an issue with that. 1154 01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,280 Speaker 1: I don't know who has a better British accent, guys, 1155 01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:32,479 Speaker 1: Charles Cook from National Review or Raheem Cassam from Human Events. 1156 01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,280 Speaker 1: You can pose that one to Raheim because he's going 1157 01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:38,400 Speaker 1: to be a guest hosting the show soon. I don't 1158 01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:41,000 Speaker 1: know Charles versus Raheim Brandon, do you want to weigh 1159 01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:42,519 Speaker 1: in on that one? Do you have a vote best 1160 01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,880 Speaker 1: British accent on the Freedom Hunt? I'm intimidated by both. 1161 01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:49,160 Speaker 1: You're intim That's fair enough. Those British accents do sound 1162 01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:53,719 Speaker 1: do sound a bit intimidating. But Elizabeth Warren has talked 1163 01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:57,240 Speaker 1: about impeaching Trump and has set a marker on what 1164 01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:02,160 Speaker 1: the rationality for all this. And here's what I just 1165 01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:04,280 Speaker 1: want to point out to you that. Well, let me first, 1166 01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:07,360 Speaker 1: here's what Warren says now about impeaching this president. Play 1167 01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:12,240 Speaker 1: for the tool that we are given for that accountability 1168 01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:19,120 Speaker 1: is the impeachment process. This is not about politics. This 1169 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:23,120 Speaker 1: is about principle. This is about what kind of a 1170 01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:28,879 Speaker 1: democracy we have in a dictatorship. Everything in government revolves 1171 01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:32,400 Speaker 1: around protecting the one person at the center, but not 1172 01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:36,800 Speaker 1: in our democracy and not under our constitution. We have 1173 01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:41,559 Speaker 1: checks and balances, and we have to proceed here in 1174 01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:45,719 Speaker 1: a way understanding our place in history that not only 1175 01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:51,280 Speaker 1: protects democracy now, but protects democracy when the next president 1176 01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:54,439 Speaker 1: comes in, and the next president and the president after that. 1177 01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:59,360 Speaker 1: That's our responsibility. Oh but I'm just drowning in the sanctimony. 1178 01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:02,840 Speaker 1: There isn't it fun to be Elizaeth Warren's. Oh, it's 1179 01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:08,000 Speaker 1: just all about protecting our democracy. Okay. If that's true, 1180 01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:10,439 Speaker 1: then I want us all to I want us all 1181 01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:14,120 Speaker 1: to pay attention here, because then whether this hurts the 1182 01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:19,320 Speaker 1: Democrats prospects the next election or not is meaningless. If 1183 01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:22,760 Speaker 1: this is about principle, as she says, they should march 1184 01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:27,240 Speaker 1: right to impeachment, because the only Democrat voices you hear 1185 01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:30,160 Speaker 1: against impeachment say that they don't think that it would 1186 01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:33,000 Speaker 1: be smart for their Party. But I thought this was 1187 01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:35,680 Speaker 1: about the defense of the Republic. I thought this is 1188 01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:39,920 Speaker 1: about gaseous speeches from people like Elizabeth Warren about how 1189 01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:44,480 Speaker 1: there's a responsibility to history to impeach Trump. Well, responsibility 1190 01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:49,160 Speaker 1: to history has nothing to do with whether or not 1191 01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,559 Speaker 1: it's going to help the Democrats in the next election cycle. 1192 01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:55,320 Speaker 1: That's not responsibility to history. That's responsibility to meet myself 1193 01:11:55,320 --> 01:12:01,080 Speaker 1: an eye for the Democrats. That doesn't work. Ah, But 1194 01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:05,120 Speaker 1: we returned to a recurring theme here on the Buck 1195 01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:08,360 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. When we're talking about Democrats, we are talking 1196 01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:13,559 Speaker 1: about a political ideology that has as it's loadstar as 1197 01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:17,479 Speaker 1: it's guiding The only guiding principle that the Democratic Party 1198 01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:20,840 Speaker 1: has is that there are no principles that can interfere 1199 01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:26,840 Speaker 1: with the relentless pursuit of power. All other principles are 1200 01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,920 Speaker 1: subject to that maxim which means there are no other principles. 1201 01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:34,400 Speaker 1: There's only one. We must be in charge. Everything else 1202 01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:39,360 Speaker 1: pushed aside. Remember this as they continue this dance about 1203 01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:42,280 Speaker 1: whether they're going to impeach or not. This is about power. 1204 01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:45,160 Speaker 1: It is not about what is right for the country. 1205 01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:48,920 Speaker 1: For all of your biggest achievements in life, who's the 1206 01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:52,320 Speaker 1: one person that's always been there unconditionally supporting you every 1207 01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:54,120 Speaker 1: step of the way.

It's not as if the Muller 1224 01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:46,840 Speaker 1: Report was a dut This is something that has a 1225 01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:49,519 Speaker 1: lot in it that implicates the president in actual crimes. 1226 01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:53,080 Speaker 1: I still hope that in this day and age, Republicans 1227 01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:56,320 Speaker 1: will see the facts and we'll be as appalled as 1228 01:13:56,320 --> 01:14:01,040 Speaker 1: the Democrats are. This report was completely exposing of unfit 1229 01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:07,840 Speaker 1: impeachable behavior. Man does not screech and complain. Some might ask, 1230 01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:10,799 Speaker 1: why haven't you start, why haven't you opened an impeachment inquiry? 1231 01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:15,679 Speaker 1: Or in fairness, is that what you're doing right now? 1232 01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:24,920 Speaker 1: And matter and to go with the impeachment gets politicized hands, oh, impeachment, 1233 01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:28,640 Speaker 1: political processes. I thought the Special Counsel was supposed to 1234 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:33,280 Speaker 1: be about finding crimes. It was certainly using the investigative 1235 01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:37,799 Speaker 1: tactics that one associates with criminal investigation, and not necessarily 1236 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:40,599 Speaker 1: political process. But this stuff all gets very murky, doesn't it. 1237 01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,640 Speaker 1: I've got our friend Charles Cook back in action here. 1238 01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:47,280 Speaker 1: Charles you will know from National Review Online, where he 1239 01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:50,599 Speaker 1: is the editor. The man himself, mister Charles Cook. Always 1240 01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:52,080 Speaker 1: good of you to make some time for us from 1241 01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:56,080 Speaker 1: a sunny Florida. Thank you for having me at Charles. 1242 01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:58,640 Speaker 1: It seems like impeachment, or I think it's beyond it 1243 01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:03,520 Speaker 1: seems we know impeachment has been the hope for Democrats 1244 01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:06,679 Speaker 1: as the end state of the Muller probe. All all along, 1245 01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:10,160 Speaker 1: before we get into your idea, the idea you propose 1246 01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:11,960 Speaker 1: a national review, which is that we just stop the 1247 01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,680 Speaker 1: pretense of this of the Special Council as somehow a 1248 01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:18,400 Speaker 1: good idea. How well, what do you think about about 1249 01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:21,599 Speaker 1: Democrats making all this noise? Because to me, you know, 1250 01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:24,680 Speaker 1: if it's about ethics and being unfit for the presidency, 1251 01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:28,200 Speaker 1: then it shouldn't matter if it blows back on Democrats. Right. 1252 01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:30,360 Speaker 1: If this is if they have a duty to the 1253 01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:33,439 Speaker 1: republic to impeach the president for what he's done, then 1254 01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:35,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear tomorrow Democrats say, well, but 1255 01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:39,800 Speaker 1: the voters may punish us for this one. Right, they're 1256 01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,479 Speaker 1: not going to impeach him. Of course this is all fluff, 1257 01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:46,240 Speaker 1: but let's pretend for a moment that those who are 1258 01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:51,240 Speaker 1: rattling their savors are serious. It's a difficult one to 1259 01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:57,519 Speaker 1: analyze at one level because the congressional power to impeach 1260 01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:05,000 Speaker 1: is absolute in the Constitution. The criteria for impeachment is 1261 01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:09,160 Speaker 1: high crimes and misdemeanors, but Congress gets to decide what 1262 01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:14,080 Speaker 1: that means, and it's not Justice Table, which is to say, 1263 01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:18,439 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court can't step in and decide whether or 1264 01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:22,760 Speaker 1: not the president has committed a crime or define what 1265 01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:26,240 Speaker 1: high crimes and misdemeanors means. So if the Democrats in 1266 01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:30,920 Speaker 1: the House wants to impeach President Trump, they can do so. 1267 01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:36,120 Speaker 1: The problem they have is that this ultimately is a 1268 01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:40,479 Speaker 1: political question for them as well. And the case that 1269 01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:44,679 Speaker 1: they have built over the last two years was not 1270 01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:48,679 Speaker 1: that Trump is generally unfit, which is ultimately a political question, 1271 01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:53,800 Speaker 1: but that he was a criminal, that he had colluded 1272 01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:57,680 Speaker 1: with Russia, that he had committed treason, that he was 1273 01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:00,800 Speaker 1: a traitor. Some had even suggested he was and had 1274 01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:06,040 Speaker 1: been for some time a Russian asset. Now that allegation 1275 01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:10,960 Speaker 1: has been nuked by the Muller Afford, whatever else it 1276 01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:15,000 Speaker 1: implies about Trump's character. So to turn around now and say, well, 1277 01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:21,720 Speaker 1: of course, we didn't really base our proposals on that eventuality, 1278 01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:26,040 Speaker 1: this has always been about whether Trump is fit in 1279 01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:30,879 Speaker 1: general is not true. But it's also politically suicidal, especially 1280 01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:33,880 Speaker 1: given that the question of Trump's fitness or office will 1281 01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:37,160 Speaker 1: be litigated in a year and a half at the 1282 01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:40,559 Speaker 1: next election. Yes, I think that's that's a big problem 1283 01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:45,040 Speaker 1: for Democrats the timeline here of how even if let's 1284 01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:46,679 Speaker 1: say they were going to go forward, and I agree 1285 01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:48,880 Speaker 1: with you, it seems unlikely right now. Although the Democrats 1286 01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:51,040 Speaker 1: are crazy. I mean, they're talking about given the Boston 1287 01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:54,200 Speaker 1: Marathon bomber the right to vote from prison, so you know, 1288 01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:57,000 Speaker 1: who knows how wacko they're willing to be. But if 1289 01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:58,479 Speaker 1: they're going to make the case that it's a political 1290 01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:01,120 Speaker 1: question about the fitness for offer that the president may 1291 01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:05,200 Speaker 1: or may not have, what better way to adjudicate that 1292 01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:07,599 Speaker 1: than the national election that's going to happen, right, I mean, 1293 01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:11,800 Speaker 1: it just seems like such sore loserism from the left 1294 01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,880 Speaker 1: all along. But I did want to ask you about 1295 01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:17,080 Speaker 1: your feelings on and this is what you wrote about 1296 01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:21,120 Speaker 1: today a National Review on this Special Council, that it 1297 01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:23,360 Speaker 1: basically walk us through your argument the Special Council this 1298 01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:26,360 Speaker 1: is an exercise in some ways in futility, and it's 1299 01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:30,240 Speaker 1: kind of a ridiculous setup. It's not just an exercise 1300 01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:33,200 Speaker 1: in futility, and it's not just a ridiculous setup, although 1301 01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:38,600 Speaker 1: it is both. As the saying, it's also counterproductive semi facetiously. 1302 01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:41,360 Speaker 1: Start the piece by saying that given the record of 1303 01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:45,840 Speaker 1: the last forty fifty years, the next impeachment an investigation 1304 01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:49,519 Speaker 1: drive will come in about twenty years. And when it does, 1305 01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:53,760 Speaker 1: I think Americans should demand an entirely different approach than 1306 01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:56,559 Speaker 1: the one we've seen with Trump and the one we 1307 01:18:56,600 --> 01:19:03,000 Speaker 1: saw with President Clinton. The system under which Robert Maller 1308 01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:07,360 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump were asked to operate was a farcical one. 1309 01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:13,880 Speaker 1: The executive branch is the branch tasked with investigations and prosecutions. 1310 01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:18,320 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is the head of the executive branch, which 1311 01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:22,919 Speaker 1: means that Donald Trump was constitutionally being asked to investigate himself, 1312 01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:27,160 Speaker 1: and had there been a recommendation of an indictment, he 1313 01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:30,799 Speaker 1: would have been asked to indict himself, although the prevailing 1314 01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:34,000 Speaker 1: law here suggests that that is impossible, and impossible for 1315 01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:39,479 Speaker 1: a good reason. You cannot be your own prosecutor. So 1316 01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:43,760 Speaker 1: what we've seen here is two years of freakouts over 1317 01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:47,559 Speaker 1: whether Trump is going to comply with the behavior of 1318 01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:52,160 Speaker 1: a set of employees that he is ultimately responsible for 1319 01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:56,200 Speaker 1: and over whom he has power and control. And this 1320 01:19:56,240 --> 01:20:00,680 Speaker 1: has led to a really wooly situation which it is 1321 01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:05,640 Speaker 1: fairly difficult to establish what Trump was doing as a 1322 01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:09,639 Speaker 1: matter of routine, in other words, what he was doing 1323 01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:11,920 Speaker 1: as the head of the executive branch, and what he 1324 01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:14,799 Speaker 1: was potentially doing because he's corrupt and wanted to impede 1325 01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:19,479 Speaker 1: the investigation. Donald Trump never had a chance here. Unless 1326 01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:22,160 Speaker 1: a prosecutor as a mind reader, there's simply no way 1327 01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:25,400 Speaker 1: to determine whether he dealt with this properly. Likewise, I 1328 01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:28,479 Speaker 1: don't think it any flight on Robert Maller or his 1329 01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:31,719 Speaker 1: team to point out that they were operating under extremely 1330 01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:34,800 Speaker 1: difficult circumstances. I mean, in no other circumstance would an 1331 01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:38,680 Speaker 1: investigator be able to be fired by the person he's investigating. 1332 01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:41,320 Speaker 1: In no other circumstance would he know that, even if 1333 01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:44,600 Speaker 1: he found evidence of wrongdoing, he most likely could not 1334 01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:48,760 Speaker 1: recommend an indictment. It's silly, and it's silly because the 1335 01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:50,880 Speaker 1: American system is not set up to work like this. 1336 01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:56,280 Speaker 1: If the president is accused of malpersons, Congress is the 1337 01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:59,800 Speaker 1: ultimate arbiter, and Congress should be the one to investigate. 1338 01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:03,360 Speaker 1: If Congress investigates the executive branch, there's nothing the executive 1339 01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:07,080 Speaker 1: branch can do about it. The executive branch can't fire Congress. 1340 01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:10,640 Speaker 1: It can't interfere with Congress, it can't resources around, and 1341 01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:12,960 Speaker 1: it can't even be accused of trying to do that, 1342 01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:15,200 Speaker 1: which is one of the things I think that was 1343 01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:19,880 Speaker 1: so unfair to the president in this circumstance. Now, it 1344 01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:25,960 Speaker 1: is probably true that we dealt with this accusation better 1345 01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:29,719 Speaker 1: than with the accusation against Bill Clinton. Back in nineteen 1346 01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:33,719 Speaker 1: ninety eight, a statute was still on the books that 1347 01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:39,639 Speaker 1: enabled the appointment of the Independent Council. Justice Scleer suggested 1348 01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:42,800 Speaker 1: this was entirely unconstitutional. He was in the minority, who 1349 01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:44,960 Speaker 1: was in a minority of one in the Supreme Court 1350 01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:48,400 Speaker 1: case that followed. But Scleer points out, look, we shouldn't 1351 01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:52,920 Speaker 1: be ever taking away prostitutorial power from the president giving 1352 01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:55,320 Speaker 1: it to someone the president can't fire. But it wasn't 1353 01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:57,479 Speaker 1: too much better this time around, because what we essentially 1354 01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:00,960 Speaker 1: did was to take away prosecutorial power from the president 1355 01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:02,880 Speaker 1: and give it to someone that he could fire, which 1356 01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:05,679 Speaker 1: created a mess. My proposal is, next time this happened, 1357 01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:08,040 Speaker 1: and I'm sure it will next time there's an investigation 1358 01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:11,320 Speaker 1: into the president, Congress should take it upon itself to 1359 01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:13,840 Speaker 1: be in charge of it. Congress has the power to 1360 01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:16,799 Speaker 1: tax and spend. It has the power to hire anyone 1361 01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:19,680 Speaker 1: it likes. It has the power to subpoena find a 1362 01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:23,120 Speaker 1: Robert Muller in the future, put him under congression or control, 1363 01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:28,000 Speaker 1: put him on a send it's judiciary committee extension or 1364 01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:32,360 Speaker 1: what you will, and look into the president and deal 1365 01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:35,000 Speaker 1: with the political fallout. It would then be obvious who 1366 01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:40,240 Speaker 1: is operating from what premise, with what agenda. It would 1367 01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:43,320 Speaker 1: be obvious whether the president was complying or not. It 1368 01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:45,920 Speaker 1: would be obvious where the politics were. It would be 1369 01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:50,280 Speaker 1: obvious what was being alleged and what was not, and 1370 01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:53,160 Speaker 1: we wouldn't be focused constantly on crimes, which I think 1371 01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:56,599 Speaker 1: would have done two things in this case that are important. One, 1372 01:22:57,040 --> 01:22:59,280 Speaker 1: it would have stopped a lot of the goal post shifting, 1373 01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:04,680 Speaker 1: and two, it would have prevented an investigation that was 1374 01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:08,200 Speaker 1: supposed to be into Russian meddling in the election from 1375 01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:12,080 Speaker 1: becoming an investigation into whether the president was or was 1376 01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:15,200 Speaker 1: not a traitor. I think next time around, Americans shifted 1377 01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:18,640 Speaker 1: on better. Charles Cook, everybody, Charles, I really think it's 1378 01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:21,080 Speaker 1: a fascinating piece, and it's an excellent idea. Your treatment 1379 01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:24,599 Speaker 1: of it is really worth everyone checking out National Review 1380 01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:28,320 Speaker 1: dot com. Everyone.

Got an update for you all from 1405 01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:50,840 Speaker 1: the campus free speech wars, where there are good guys 1406 01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:54,000 Speaker 1: and bad guys. The conservatives are the good guys. The 1407 01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:57,320 Speaker 1: left wing maniacs that try to shut down speech they 1408 01:24:57,320 --> 01:25:00,800 Speaker 1: don't like, those are the bad guys. And we have 1409 01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:06,760 Speaker 1: a very interesting, very interesting case study here of just 1410 01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:11,920 Speaker 1: what goes on at Middlebury College these days up in Vermont. 1411 01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:14,400 Speaker 1: I think Middlebury's in Vermont, I forget where. Yeah, it's 1412 01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:17,599 Speaker 1: in Vermont. It's a small liberal arts college. It's very 1413 01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:20,679 Speaker 1: similar to where I went to school, Amherst College. Amherst 1414 01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:23,920 Speaker 1: is obviously better. But yeah, that's right, Middlebury alumni take it. 1415 01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:30,479 Speaker 1: But here's what happened. Back in twenty seventeen. There was 1416 01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:34,639 Speaker 1: a speech by Charles Murray, who is very anti Trump 1417 01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:40,120 Speaker 1: and is somebody who is a real academic with street 1418 01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:42,240 Speaker 1: cred for a whole bunch of different public to a 1419 01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:44,560 Speaker 1: whole bunch of different books he's published, but he is 1420 01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,160 Speaker 1: the author of The Bell Curve, which drove liberals completely 1421 01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:51,040 Speaker 1: insane because it walks you through the data on IQ 1422 01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:53,720 Speaker 1: and there is one chapter, because I've actually read the book, 1423 01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:57,760 Speaker 1: there's one chapter that deals with the distribution in the 1424 01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:03,479 Speaker 1: aggregate of IQ across different races. And that forever has 1425 01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:06,400 Speaker 1: made Charles Murray someone that the left loves to hate, 1426 01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:08,640 Speaker 1: even though he's a very I've had him on this 1427 01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:13,040 Speaker 1: show before. He's a very reasonable and intelligent fellow and 1428 01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:15,320 Speaker 1: is not in any way racist. I believe he's actually 1429 01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:20,000 Speaker 1: married to an Asian woman. He's not racist, and that's 1430 01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:22,599 Speaker 1: all just a smear. But he went to speak at 1431 01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:25,080 Speaker 1: Middlebury back in twenty seventeen. We talked about this a 1432 01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:28,479 Speaker 1: fair amount here in the Freedom Hunt. And not only 1433 01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:30,439 Speaker 1: did they try to shut down the left try to 1434 01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:33,200 Speaker 1: shut down his speech with you know, the zoo noises 1435 01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:36,960 Speaker 1: and the horns and all the usual tactics of the 1436 01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:41,800 Speaker 1: Heckler's veto, but they even injured a female professor named 1437 01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:44,640 Speaker 1: Alison Stanger. I mean they actually hurt her as she 1438 01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:47,040 Speaker 1: was trying to escort him out of the building. I mean, 1439 01:26:47,080 --> 01:26:49,799 Speaker 1: this was like a mob, and there was there was violence, 1440 01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:53,799 Speaker 1: They assaulted people, They assaulted an invited guest at Middlebury, 1441 01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:58,240 Speaker 1: and nobody was expelled. I if I were in charge 1442 01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:00,800 Speaker 1: in that school, I would want to list of names 1443 01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:04,639 Speaker 1: of every person that made physical contact or threatened physical 1444 01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:06,880 Speaker 1: contact with an invited speaker, and I would say, pack 1445 01:27:07,080 --> 01:27:10,200 Speaker 1: your crap, you are gone. This is a private universe, 1446 01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:13,479 Speaker 1: private college. You have no right to be here. You're out. 1447 01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:16,600 Speaker 1: But they don't do that anymore. They don't enforce consequences 1448 01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:21,960 Speaker 1: against leftist insanity on these campuses because they invite leftist insanity. 1449 01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:26,520 Speaker 1: In many ways, they teach leftist insanity. Well, there's another 1450 01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:33,040 Speaker 1: Middlebury speech case came up here, and this involves Rizard Legutco, 1451 01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:36,160 Speaker 1: who is a Polish member of the European Parliament. It's 1452 01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:38,679 Speaker 1: quite a Rizard. That's a cool name. So this guy's 1453 01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:40,479 Speaker 1: a member of the European Parliament. You think that he 1454 01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:45,439 Speaker 1: should be an individual that people on a college campus 1455 01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:47,760 Speaker 1: up in Vermont would want to hear from. Oh, but 1456 01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:53,799 Speaker 1: what's the problem. He is critical of multiculturalism and gay marriage. 1457 01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:57,320 Speaker 1: Oh no, that's not You're not allowed to think that anymore, 1458 01:27:57,360 --> 01:27:59,840 Speaker 1: the left says. I remember, it's not even clear if 1459 01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:03,080 Speaker 1: you opposes these things. He just has criticisms of them. 1460 01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:08,680 Speaker 1: And the students signed a petition that claimed that he 1461 01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:14,200 Speaker 1: built his career off of homophobic, xenophobic, racist, and misogynistic discourse. 1462 01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:17,240 Speaker 1: And they called for the political science department at Middlebury 1463 01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:22,479 Speaker 1: College to get rid of his sponsored speech. And they said, 1464 01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:25,200 Speaker 1: they're going to demonstrate, of course, you know whose streets 1465 01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:30,920 Speaker 1: are streets beata mails, unite against speech. And in this 1466 01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:34,439 Speaker 1: case though, there was a kind of underground free speech 1467 01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:39,280 Speaker 1: movement that popped up on campus. So Risguard from Poland 1468 01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:43,240 Speaker 1: was told that he should show up, and there were 1469 01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:46,880 Speaker 1: there was one professor, And this is after they sent 1470 01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:49,679 Speaker 1: out the usual because of security and safety risks, we're 1471 01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:51,920 Speaker 1: going to cancel the event. So they're just caving to 1472 01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:55,360 Speaker 1: the mob, caving to the Heckler's veto. I mean, Middlebury 1473 01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:59,439 Speaker 1: should be ashamed of itself, ashamed of itself for this. 1474 01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:05,600 Speaker 1: But nonetheless they like a lot of these schools. And 1475 01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:07,280 Speaker 1: I think, you know, I used to get invited to 1476 01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:08,840 Speaker 1: go speak at my alma mater when I worked with 1477 01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:11,040 Speaker 1: the CIA, and I could say very little. Now I 1478 01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:12,479 Speaker 1: have a ton to say and a lot to share 1479 01:29:12,479 --> 01:29:15,160 Speaker 1: with those kids. They have no they have never invited 1480 01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:17,479 Speaker 1: me back, no interest in having me back to campus whatsoever. 1481 01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:22,240 Speaker 1: It's my own school school that you know, cost my 1482 01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:26,360 Speaker 1: family a fortune to send me to. Won't even invite 1483 01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:29,439 Speaker 1: me back to speak, no interest. They are a bunch 1484 01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:36,519 Speaker 1: of punks. But this professor, Matthew Dickinson, credit to him 1485 01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:39,679 Speaker 1: for believing in free speech and free discourse. He said 1486 01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:43,240 Speaker 1: that he would bring mister Legutko, this Polish member of 1487 01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:47,080 Speaker 1: the European Parliament, on campus and allow him to give 1488 01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:50,679 Speaker 1: his lecture in the professor's political science class as long 1489 01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:53,559 Speaker 1: as they all voted yes in a secret ballot. Well 1490 01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:56,720 Speaker 1: to the credit of the students, the nine students in 1491 01:29:56,760 --> 01:29:58,439 Speaker 1: this class. This is with a big selling point for 1492 01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:00,719 Speaker 1: liberal arts colleges, as the classes they are very small. 1493 01:30:01,479 --> 01:30:08,479 Speaker 1: All nine of these students voted yes. Okay, So then 1494 01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:10,800 Speaker 1: other students kind of heard about this were a mouth 1495 01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:15,439 Speaker 1: and a full forty five students asked to be able 1496 01:30:15,479 --> 01:30:18,679 Speaker 1: to come and in this political science class here from 1497 01:30:18,680 --> 01:30:22,000 Speaker 1: this professor. So he I'm sorry, here from this member 1498 01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:25,599 Speaker 1: of the European Parliament because this professor invited him, and 1499 01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:28,439 Speaker 1: Professor Dickinson had the failing to say, I've never been 1500 01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:31,559 Speaker 1: more proud in my thirty years of teaching than to 1501 01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:35,920 Speaker 1: watch these students engage with the speaker, push back on him, 1502 01:30:36,439 --> 01:30:39,920 Speaker 1: engage with him. It was a marvelous example of how 1503 01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:46,000 Speaker 1: free speech facilitates learning. Professor Dickinson went on, during the 1504 01:30:46,120 --> 01:30:52,160 Speaker 1: days of communist totalitarianism, scholars from the West traveled to 1505 01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:57,200 Speaker 1: Eastern Bloc nations to give underground lectures and seminars. On Wednesday, 1506 01:30:57,360 --> 01:31:04,479 Speaker 1: mister Lagutko returned the favor. Isn't that fascinating that now 1507 01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:08,479 Speaker 1: we've reached a point after the fall of the Iron Curtain, 1508 01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:13,000 Speaker 1: the destruction of the Berlin Wall, now we are in 1509 01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:18,040 Speaker 1: a circumstance where it is, in fact, former Soviets or 1510 01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:20,960 Speaker 1: former Soviet states that are sending people to speak in 1511 01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:25,000 Speaker 1: underground lectures on our own campuses and our own universities, 1512 01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:30,559 Speaker 1: because that's how hostile the campus has become. That's how 1513 01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:35,519 Speaker 1: hostile colleges have become too. Free speech. So this was 1514 01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:37,519 Speaker 1: a victory in a sense for free speech at Middlebury, 1515 01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:41,439 Speaker 1: although a small one, and it certainly is an example 1516 01:31:41,479 --> 01:31:43,320 Speaker 1: of exactly what I talked to you about on the show, 1517 01:31:43,320 --> 01:31:45,439 Speaker 1: which is that these students they're being robbed of the 1518 01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:49,360 Speaker 1: education they're paying so much for it is they are 1519 01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:52,120 Speaker 1: stealing it from themselves, and the administrators that are allowing 1520 01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:56,160 Speaker 1: it are aiding and abetting that theft college is supposed 1521 01:31:56,160 --> 01:31:58,960 Speaker 1: to be about learning. Learning is the exchange of ideas, 1522 01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:01,960 Speaker 1: including idea is you may not necessarily agree with or like. 1523 01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:07,280 Speaker 1: Anyone who disagrees with that is an opponent of free thought, 1524 01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:12,640 Speaker 1: free expression, and education itself. College campuses have become an 1525 01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:17,520 Speaker 1: embarrassment in this regard. But perhaps these underground conservative movements, 1526 01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:21,160 Speaker 1: some of them are above ground two will gather more 1527 01:32:21,320 --> 01:32:23,680 Speaker 1: steam and we will see an end to the just 1528 01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:28,440 Speaker 1: psychotic censorship of the left on campuses and universities. Indefensible, 1529 01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:32,120 Speaker 1: indefensible in the way that they try to shut down 1530 01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:35,920 Speaker 1: ideas that they do not like. These people are petty totalitarians. 1531 01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:39,280 Speaker 1: They would be at home in the former Soviet bloc. 1532 01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:42,040 Speaker 1: And it's amazing that this is happening here today in 1533 01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:45,840 Speaker 1: America in twenty nineteen. All right, team, just remember what 1534 01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:48,719 Speaker 1: old Jack Burton does when the earthquakes and the poisoned 1535 01:32:48,800 --> 01:32:52,080 Speaker 1: arrows fall from the sky and the pillars of heaven shake. Yeah, 1536 01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:54,759 Speaker 1: Jack Burton just looks that big old storm right square 1537 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:57,559 Speaker 1: in the eye, and he says, give me your best shot, Pal, 1538 01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:01,800 Speaker 1: I can take it all right. Team facebook dot com 1539 01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:05,519 Speaker 1: slashbuck Sexton that is where you go for all of 1540 01:33:06,240 --> 01:33:10,080 Speaker 1: the wonderful team Buck action that happens at least on 1541 01:33:10,120 --> 01:33:13,120 Speaker 1: the Facebook. And Yeah, we got a big boy email 1542 01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:15,040 Speaker 1: that we're working on. It's only been a few years 1543 01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:16,680 Speaker 1: in the making to get an email address set up. 1544 01:33:16,720 --> 01:33:21,000 Speaker 1: I know, I know, my tech skills need some work. 1545 01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:24,519 Speaker 1: Peter is the first up in this piece. Hey Buck, 1546 01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:28,320 Speaker 1: I was a Cruise and McMuffin voter in twenty sixteen 1547 01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:31,680 Speaker 1: and podcast listener since the Blaze. Can I get a 1548 01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:34,400 Speaker 1: do over on the latter vote? I could tell you. 1549 01:33:34,479 --> 01:33:42,799 Speaker 1: Peter McMuffin aka Evan McMullen is someone who really reminds 1550 01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:46,880 Speaker 1: me a bit of James Komy, where Koby is so 1551 01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:49,800 Speaker 1: sanctimonious you think that he must be kidding, but then 1552 01:33:49,840 --> 01:33:53,320 Speaker 1: you find out, oh no, wait, he's not kidding. He 1553 01:33:53,439 --> 01:33:58,400 Speaker 1: is actually that lame. That strikes me as a pretty 1554 01:33:58,439 --> 01:34:02,720 Speaker 1: good explanation of both McMuffin and Comy. You assume you 1555 01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:04,080 Speaker 1: want to give them a benefit of the doubt, that 1556 01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:07,200 Speaker 1: they can't really be such such huge tools, But but 1557 01:34:07,240 --> 01:34:09,160 Speaker 1: then you find out. Oh no, no, they are in 1558 01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:13,640 Speaker 1: fact tools to that degree, and it is both surprising 1559 01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:16,479 Speaker 1: and a little off putting. So there you have that. 1560 01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:21,360 Speaker 1: Now let's see we get here. Next up we have 1561 01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:23,960 Speaker 1: my man Harry. Oh by the way, yes you do 1562 01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:28,479 Speaker 1: get a do over, Peter. I'll give you a du over, Harry, 1563 01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:31,920 Speaker 1: writes Buck concerning reparations. In addition to all the reasons 1564 01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:34,519 Speaker 1: you have already brilliantly argued, there's one more to consider. 1565 01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:39,400 Speaker 1: The US Constitution, Article three, Section three, paragraph two, concerning 1566 01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:42,439 Speaker 1: trees in states the Congress shall have power to declare 1567 01:34:42,439 --> 01:34:45,519 Speaker 1: the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall 1568 01:34:45,600 --> 01:34:48,920 Speaker 1: work corruption of blood or forfeiture, except during the life 1569 01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:52,719 Speaker 1: of the person attainted. Corruption of blood, et cetera means 1570 01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:55,360 Speaker 1: descendants of a trader shall not be held responsible or 1571 01:34:55,400 --> 01:34:59,280 Speaker 1: punished for the trader's deeds. While specific only to the 1572 01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:02,080 Speaker 1: crime of trees in the implication is that no guilt 1573 01:35:02,120 --> 01:35:05,600 Speaker 1: of crime shall be visited upon the heirs of an offender. 1574 01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:08,080 Speaker 1: One reason we do not imprison children of murders and 1575 01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:11,960 Speaker 1: rapists for crimes of their parents. Slavery reparation certainly feels 1576 01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:16,040 Speaker 1: like punishment through taxation for past sins. So reparation of 1577 01:35:16,040 --> 01:35:19,840 Speaker 1: any kind other than the immediate victim by the immediate perpetrator, 1578 01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:24,880 Speaker 1: neither of which exists today in this case, is thoroughly unconstitutional. Also, 1579 01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:27,920 Speaker 1: the definition of reparation includes making amends to someone who 1580 01:35:27,920 --> 01:35:31,639 Speaker 1: has been wronged. No one alive has been wronged directly 1581 01:35:31,760 --> 01:35:34,880 Speaker 1: by slavery. I'm thinking it may be appropriate to send 1582 01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:38,200 Speaker 1: most of Congress, especially the Democrat members, to a reading 1583 01:35:38,240 --> 01:35:42,440 Speaker 1: comprehension remedial class before having them read the US Constitution, 1584 01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:46,639 Speaker 1: probably for the first time in many cases. Shields High Harry, 1585 01:35:47,040 --> 01:35:49,040 Speaker 1: who let me just tell you all can't see this, 1586 01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:51,479 Speaker 1: but Harry has a world class beard. I've got a 1587 01:35:51,479 --> 01:35:56,720 Speaker 1: little NATO baby beard, Afghanic baby beard. Harry's got a 1588 01:35:56,760 --> 01:36:02,960 Speaker 1: big beard raw. Harry's beard's legit. And Harry's analysis here 1589 01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:08,479 Speaker 1: is astute. He gets down into the immoral foundations of 1590 01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:13,280 Speaker 1: a reparations movement, essentially holding people culpable and taking of 1591 01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:16,280 Speaker 1: their property, which is really another way of suggesting that 1592 01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:18,840 Speaker 1: you are taking of their time. And there's this is 1593 01:36:18,840 --> 01:36:22,360 Speaker 1: why people don't like when the state just takes their stuff, 1594 01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:25,599 Speaker 1: because usually you've had to do things to get that stuff. 1595 01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:28,280 Speaker 1: And if the state and a lot of times things 1596 01:36:28,280 --> 01:36:29,640 Speaker 1: you didn't want to do. So, if the state is 1597 01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:33,040 Speaker 1: able to just seize your stuff, I believe in the 1598 01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:36,639 Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence, it's referred or is it in gosh? 1599 01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:39,600 Speaker 1: Is it common sense or is it the declaration? I 1600 01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:42,960 Speaker 1: think it's the declaration Eat out our substance. That's always 1601 01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:47,400 Speaker 1: one that sticks out in my mind. So with that, 1602 01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:50,840 Speaker 1: I will move on to the next one here. But no, Harry, 1603 01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:54,280 Speaker 1: you're right. You cannot hold people responsible for actions that 1604 01:36:54,320 --> 01:36:57,599 Speaker 1: they had no ability to effect one way or the other, 1605 01:36:57,640 --> 01:37:03,320 Speaker 1: and to do so is to eliminate the foundation of 1606 01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:10,440 Speaker 1: moral judgment altogether. Cindy rights a. According to Ben Shapiro, 1607 01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:13,160 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren's planned to forgive nearly all college debt is 1608 01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:16,320 Speaker 1: actually a violation of the Constitution. Is a violation of 1609 01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:19,120 Speaker 1: the takings clause because the government cannot declare all private 1610 01:37:19,120 --> 01:37:21,880 Speaker 1: debt to be null and void. That would be taking 1611 01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:25,880 Speaker 1: something of value from you without just compensation. Just think 1612 01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:30,280 Speaker 1: you should know this free stuff. And I love the 1613 01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:32,400 Speaker 1: new Facebook pick, Cindy. Well, thank you Cindy for liking 1614 01:37:32,439 --> 01:37:36,519 Speaker 1: the new Facebook pick. I think that Ben is likely 1615 01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:40,720 Speaker 1: correct here on the legality of it, But I don't 1616 01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:43,439 Speaker 1: think he would disagree with this. That would not prevent 1617 01:37:43,479 --> 01:37:47,720 Speaker 1: the Democrats from doing it anyway. The Constitution is increasingly 1618 01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:53,200 Speaker 1: flimsy defense of our rights and an insufficient bulwark against 1619 01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:57,799 Speaker 1: government overreach. So even and that doesn't mean we shouldn't 1620 01:37:57,800 --> 01:38:00,240 Speaker 1: continue to make the argument, I'm just saying they would 1621 01:38:00,240 --> 01:38:05,559 Speaker 1: claim that they would find some justification under you know, 1622 01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:08,120 Speaker 1: they'd say, well, if we can have welfare, which is 1623 01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:11,000 Speaker 1: just money taken from some people through taxation or redistributed 1624 01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:14,160 Speaker 1: to others, that they would find a mechanism, Cindy to 1625 01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:18,360 Speaker 1: make this legal one way or another. If people are 1626 01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:20,639 Speaker 1: on board, If Democrats and then Left get their way 1627 01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:23,679 Speaker 1: with this debt forgiveness, they would make it some kind 1628 01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:25,840 Speaker 1: of you know, they could make it a program where 1629 01:38:26,080 --> 01:38:28,320 Speaker 1: if you submit that you have a certain debt and 1630 01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:31,479 Speaker 1: the federal government gives you, you know, ten thousand dollars 1631 01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:33,880 Speaker 1: a year until it's paid off, or actually the federal 1632 01:38:33,920 --> 01:38:37,120 Speaker 1: government has something like that for federal government employees already, 1633 01:38:37,439 --> 01:38:39,320 Speaker 1: where they pay off some portion of your loans. But 1634 01:38:39,400 --> 01:38:42,200 Speaker 1: that's in response to work that you do. And that 1635 01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:46,840 Speaker 1: is an incentive and an explicit incentive for federal government workers. 1636 01:38:48,360 --> 01:38:53,880 Speaker 1: Michael Rights saw that clip where Joe Disjanova took your 1637 01:38:54,120 --> 01:38:58,400 Speaker 1: co anchor to the woodshed. Well, Michael, you saw it, 1638 01:38:58,479 --> 01:39:00,639 Speaker 1: and a lot of other people saw it. That clip 1639 01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:03,760 Speaker 1: went viral, and I think a lot of you heard 1640 01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:06,519 Speaker 1: it on the show last week. Some of you have 1641 01:39:07,160 --> 01:39:09,920 Speaker 1: some have asked me what I think about this and 1642 01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:13,000 Speaker 1: what my thoughts were in the situation, and I just 1643 01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:18,439 Speaker 1: say that Crystal is my co host and I have 1644 01:39:18,760 --> 01:39:22,200 Speaker 1: nothing but respect and fondness for her, and beyond that, 1645 01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:25,920 Speaker 1: I plead the fifth on the exchange. So I was 1646 01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:28,680 Speaker 1: not a part of the exchange. I watched the exchange. 1647 01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:32,560 Speaker 1: You can all see the exchange, and there you have it. 1648 01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:35,600 Speaker 1: But thanks Michael for writing in good to hear from you. 1649 01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:38,080 Speaker 1: I haven't gotten any snarky criticism from Michael in a while, 1650 01:39:38,120 --> 01:39:41,000 Speaker 1: which must be in the show is basically going okay, 1651 01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:43,679 Speaker 1: which is good to know. Eric. Right, So I listened 1652 01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:45,240 Speaker 1: to your show on the buck Sex in twenty four 1653 01:39:45,320 --> 01:39:49,000 Speaker 1: seventh stream on the iHeart app. Yeah yeah, all right, Eric, awesome. 1654 01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:52,160 Speaker 1: Oh now there's some bad stuff though I know I 1655 01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:54,479 Speaker 1: Heeart controls this, but the news stories that played during 1656 01:39:54,520 --> 01:39:57,800 Speaker 1: the radio stop sets really stink. Last night, the person 1657 01:39:57,840 --> 01:40:01,800 Speaker 1: reading the news for USA Radio called Anka, Siri, Lanka, No, 1658 01:40:02,040 --> 01:40:05,680 Speaker 1: come on. Also, the NBC news entertainment segments probably do 1659 01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:07,840 Speaker 1: not appeal to most of the people listen to conservative radio. 1660 01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:09,240 Speaker 1: I know it's out of your control, just thought you 1661 01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:12,200 Speaker 1: should know. Thanks and shields high. Eric. I appreciate the 1662 01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:15,760 Speaker 1: heads up. It is out of my control, so all 1663 01:40:15,800 --> 01:40:19,400 Speaker 1: I can say is just please focus on the parts 1664 01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:21,439 Speaker 1: where I'm doing my show and let's not worry about 1665 01:40:21,479 --> 01:40:27,240 Speaker 1: the the rest of it. Jeff Right, Hey, Buck Funny. 1666 01:40:27,280 --> 01:40:30,400 Speaker 1: You had on The Primal Rage Guy yesterday. You had 1667 01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:33,000 Speaker 1: mentioned the movie a couple of times, so being a 1668 01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:36,200 Speaker 1: Bigfoot fan, I had to watch this. Bigfoot was a 1669 01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:41,440 Speaker 1: combination of Skinwalker, Predator, Evil Ninja, Predator Too, and Deliverance. 1670 01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:44,640 Speaker 1: Not quite as good as The Notebook A Notebook, but 1671 01:40:44,840 --> 01:40:48,439 Speaker 1: worth watching on a rainy weekend, you know, Jeff, I agree. 1672 01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:51,240 Speaker 1: It's a like it's just you know what you're getting 1673 01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:56,599 Speaker 1: with it. It's like going in and getting yourself. You know, 1674 01:40:56,760 --> 01:41:00,000 Speaker 1: some General So's chicken, you know General So's chicken, all 1675 01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:02,559 Speaker 1: pretty much taste the same. It is terrible for you, 1676 01:41:03,400 --> 01:41:05,479 Speaker 1: but it gets the job done, and it's delicious. And 1677 01:41:05,560 --> 01:41:07,800 Speaker 1: for those of you who are already asking, yes, they 1678 01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:10,280 Speaker 1: do make gluten free General Show's chicken, It's actually not 1679 01:41:10,280 --> 01:41:13,040 Speaker 1: that hard to make. That's what I would say about 1680 01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:16,080 Speaker 1: that movie. That was a fascinating story though, that Marshall 1681 01:41:16,120 --> 01:41:21,519 Speaker 1: told about his fellow actor in that movie that you know, 1682 01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:23,479 Speaker 1: lost his leg and then came back and finished the 1683 01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:25,960 Speaker 1: movie with a prosthetic leg. That was amazing. And I 1684 01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:27,760 Speaker 1: did not and as somebody who watched the movie and 1685 01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:31,719 Speaker 1: paid attention, I did not notice that or notice any difference. 1686 01:41:31,720 --> 01:41:34,599 Speaker 1: And that guy was very a very physical role in 1687 01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:36,679 Speaker 1: that movie too. He was running around trying to escape 1688 01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:39,880 Speaker 1: the Bigfoot. The Bigfoot is a very mean bigfoot. You 1689 01:41:39,920 --> 01:41:41,679 Speaker 1: know what I will say, though, because I watched Big 1690 01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:44,160 Speaker 1: Trouble in Little China recently, which is why some of 1691 01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:47,040 Speaker 1: you have picked up on the Jack Burton quotes. In fact, 1692 01:41:47,080 --> 01:41:48,760 Speaker 1: I think all of you have. Maybe some of you 1693 01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:51,639 Speaker 1: are ignoring them because I like that movie too much 1694 01:41:51,680 --> 01:41:56,960 Speaker 1: for what it was. But the monster that kidnaps the 1695 01:41:57,040 --> 01:42:03,040 Speaker 1: woman who plays Kim Cattrall, who plays the I don't 1696 01:42:03,080 --> 01:42:05,519 Speaker 1: know how to describe it. She's in Sex in the 1697 01:42:05,520 --> 01:42:08,080 Speaker 1: City as the one of the main characters Kim Cattrall 1698 01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:09,920 Speaker 1: is in big trouble Little China. She is at one 1699 01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:16,439 Speaker 1: point kidnap thrown over the shoulder of a very unsightly monster. 1700 01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:20,080 Speaker 1: And that unsightly monster looks a bit like the big 1701 01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:24,439 Speaker 1: Foot in the Primal Rage movie. So I think I've 1702 01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:28,559 Speaker 1: driven up some Primal Rage viewership. And I told them 1703 01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:30,960 Speaker 1: that that Marshall, and I'm sure hopefully he's listening to 1704 01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:33,880 Speaker 1: He's team Buck. I already set him a message saying 1705 01:42:33,880 --> 01:42:36,120 Speaker 1: that they should do a follow up, but they should 1706 01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:40,000 Speaker 1: do the Abominable Snowman or the Yetti. You know something 1707 01:42:40,040 --> 01:42:43,160 Speaker 1: in Russia that could go really well. And I see, 1708 01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:46,920 Speaker 1: here's my little screenplay idea. You take the legend of 1709 01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:50,439 Speaker 1: the Abominable Snowman and maybe you tie it in and 1710 01:42:50,520 --> 01:42:52,200 Speaker 1: people say it's been around a long time. Yeah know, 1711 01:42:52,240 --> 01:42:53,920 Speaker 1: I know that, But maybe you tie it into some 1712 01:42:54,040 --> 01:42:58,479 Speaker 1: kind of Soviet nuclear reactor meltdown. So then it's like 1713 01:42:58,520 --> 01:43:02,679 Speaker 1: the Hills have Eyes in Siberia with a big foot 1714 01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:05,120 Speaker 1: stalking a bunch of guys who are like, just won't 1715 01:43:05,120 --> 01:43:08,360 Speaker 1: douluting vodka, and all the monster is eating my face. 1716 01:43:08,920 --> 01:43:11,800 Speaker 1: You know that. I think you got a winner. I 1717 01:43:11,840 --> 01:43:14,479 Speaker 1: think you got a winner, because that bleak Russian landscape 1718 01:43:14,479 --> 01:43:17,760 Speaker 1: would also lend itself very well to horror movies like 1719 01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:22,280 Speaker 1: The Thing with also Kurt Russell, which takes place in 1720 01:43:22,680 --> 01:43:27,280 Speaker 1: Antarctica and is a very watchable movie. For what it is. 1721 01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:31,519 Speaker 1: It's bleak, it's scary, and I think I think that 1722 01:43:31,680 --> 01:43:36,280 Speaker 1: The Thing is a good movie. So put that in 1723 01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:41,000 Speaker 1: your pipe and smoke it. My Man, Richard one of 1724 01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:45,519 Speaker 1: my favorite hoosiers in the whole wide world. I totally 1725 01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:48,679 Speaker 1: agree with your views on architecture today. As an artist, 1726 01:43:48,760 --> 01:43:51,400 Speaker 1: I'm always attracted to the stained glass and old churches 1727 01:43:52,240 --> 01:43:54,560 Speaker 1: with the big, beautiful organs. I don't understand when the 1728 01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:56,920 Speaker 1: modern church isn't building one hundred and fifty story stained 1729 01:43:56,920 --> 01:44:01,120 Speaker 1: glass cathedrals. The religious buildings used to be the tallest 1730 01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:03,599 Speaker 1: in a city. I don't see why that can't happen again. 1731 01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:07,080 Speaker 1: Imagine the Bible being told and staying glass on every 1732 01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:10,040 Speaker 1: story all the way up to the sky cathedral, maybe 1733 01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:12,040 Speaker 1: with a giant open air column the middle with some 1734 01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:15,400 Speaker 1: stone gargoyle thrown in for good measure. In Raleigh, they 1735 01:44:15,439 --> 01:44:18,000 Speaker 1: recently built a new Catholic cathedral and I was excited 1736 01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:20,160 Speaker 1: then when it was shaping up. It was the same 1737 01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:23,080 Speaker 1: standard building, only it's made of stone. No gargoyles, no 1738 01:44:23,200 --> 01:44:27,280 Speaker 1: stone carvings. It's just lame. It's drywalled. How is that 1739 01:44:27,400 --> 01:44:30,400 Speaker 1: going to age? Richard? You ask a good question. I 1740 01:44:30,439 --> 01:44:32,680 Speaker 1: think the problem is the architecture software that is used 1741 01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:36,320 Speaker 1: today is not artist friendly. Interesting, that's why everything is 1742 01:44:36,360 --> 01:44:38,679 Speaker 1: a box and boring. Used to be, you were drawing 1743 01:44:38,720 --> 01:44:41,120 Speaker 1: on paper and you wanted to throw in a decorative element, 1744 01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:45,479 Speaker 1: no problem. That's why the Budweiser warehouses have cool decorative elements. 1745 01:44:45,560 --> 01:44:48,400 Speaker 1: Or look at old schools or other old warehouses you'll 1746 01:44:48,400 --> 01:44:51,599 Speaker 1: see the same thing. Heck, most mundane things like bridges 1747 01:44:51,640 --> 01:44:53,840 Speaker 1: had a bit of art thrown in. Now it takes 1748 01:44:53,840 --> 01:44:58,000 Speaker 1: hours to add an artist element in auto autocat or revet. 1749 01:44:59,040 --> 01:45:00,960 Speaker 1: People are not going to pay for that if it 1750 01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:03,320 Speaker 1: takes so long. If you want a nice rendering, you 1751 01:45:03,400 --> 01:45:08,000 Speaker 1: have to export it to unreal engine or Maya or Max. Wow, 1752 01:45:08,080 --> 01:45:11,320 Speaker 1: Richard really is an architect. Notre Dame and Saint Peter's 1753 01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:14,560 Speaker 1: were built by artists. Modern day software is being is 1754 01:45:14,560 --> 01:45:17,720 Speaker 1: built by engineers that look down on artists with disdain. 1755 01:45:18,360 --> 01:45:20,000 Speaker 1: Sure I can tell you how many nails and bricks 1756 01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:22,840 Speaker 1: you need, but one needs more than this to nurture 1757 01:45:22,880 --> 01:45:25,000 Speaker 1: the soul. I'm just glad the guys who built Notre 1758 01:45:25,040 --> 01:45:30,840 Speaker 1: Dame's ribs vault over so that sorry that built Notre 1759 01:45:30,880 --> 01:45:34,960 Speaker 1: Dame rib vaults over built them, so not all was lost. There. 1760 01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:37,840 Speaker 1: We go keep up the awesome brother Shields high Richard. 1761 01:45:37,880 --> 01:45:40,639 Speaker 1: Look at you with all the knowledge on the architectural stuff. 1762 01:45:40,760 --> 01:45:42,360 Speaker 1: Very very cool team. We'll come back to a quick 1763 01:45:42,439 --> 01:45:44,519 Speaker 1: role call to finish out the show and stay with me. 1764 01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:47,000 Speaker 1: Welcome back Tom. In the break there, I was just 1765 01:45:47,040 --> 01:45:50,839 Speaker 1: talking to DJ Brandon about I said, Brandon, do horror 1766 01:45:50,840 --> 01:45:53,960 Speaker 1: movies get more messed up than the Hills have Eyes? 1767 01:45:53,960 --> 01:45:56,519 Speaker 1: Because for me, that's like the that is the citizen 1768 01:45:56,600 --> 01:46:00,400 Speaker 1: Kane of incredibly violent and disturbing horror movies. He ran 1769 01:46:00,479 --> 01:46:03,000 Speaker 1: me through some of the horror movie cannon that he 1770 01:46:03,080 --> 01:46:07,960 Speaker 1: has seen, and wow, I'm JV level for horror movies 1771 01:46:08,040 --> 01:46:10,200 Speaker 1: for sure. I might even be freshman team, you know 1772 01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:12,759 Speaker 1: when they have to break it out into three teams, Varsity, JV, 1773 01:46:12,880 --> 01:46:15,599 Speaker 1: and then freshman. So I'm just gonna keep it. I'm 1774 01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:17,599 Speaker 1: just gonna keep it there. I'm still I still lose 1775 01:46:17,640 --> 01:46:19,800 Speaker 1: sleep because of the Witch I thought that movie was 1776 01:46:19,880 --> 01:46:23,760 Speaker 1: scared the scared the bejez out of me. Yeah, dude, 1777 01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:26,559 Speaker 1: it's scary movie. It's scary. It's kind of Exorcist like, 1778 01:46:26,640 --> 01:46:29,000 Speaker 1: and that stuff really as a Catholic man, that stuff 1779 01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:31,240 Speaker 1: gets in your head all right. On the happier things. 1780 01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:34,840 Speaker 1: Stephen rights buck on the subject of beautiful churches. A 1781 01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:37,479 Speaker 1: beautiful church is great, but what's more important is that 1782 01:46:37,560 --> 01:46:39,639 Speaker 1: the Word of God has taught in its entire truth 1783 01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:44,280 Speaker 1: and purity. By the way, I'm a conservative confessional Lutheran, Stephen. 1784 01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:46,840 Speaker 1: I do not in any way disagree with you. I 1785 01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:52,639 Speaker 1: just like beautiful churches. So there you go. I think 1786 01:46:52,640 --> 01:46:54,840 Speaker 1: that a beautiful church does serve a purpose that is 1787 01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:59,240 Speaker 1: aspirational and and you know, there's a reason for beauty 1788 01:46:59,240 --> 01:47:02,400 Speaker 1: in the Catholic Church, for the music, for the the structures. 1789 01:47:03,080 --> 01:47:05,400 Speaker 1: But obviously in the earliest days of the church they 1790 01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:10,960 Speaker 1: were having, you know, meetings underground in ancient Rome and 1791 01:47:11,040 --> 01:47:15,599 Speaker 1: all that stuff van right buckets. Okay, if you don't 1792 01:47:15,640 --> 01:47:19,639 Speaker 1: like the fashion, archetec etc. Of the seventies, I didn't either, 1793 01:47:20,080 --> 01:47:22,800 Speaker 1: But don't you dare equate all the music from that 1794 01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:26,840 Speaker 1: era to the abomination known as disco disco was but 1795 01:47:26,960 --> 01:47:30,000 Speaker 1: a short lived boil on the butt of an otherwise 1796 01:47:30,080 --> 01:47:33,840 Speaker 1: stellar decade of musical exploration and composition. There is reason 1797 01:47:33,880 --> 01:47:37,200 Speaker 1: for the still popular phrase disco sucks. Don't get me wrong, 1798 01:47:37,400 --> 01:47:38,880 Speaker 1: You're still the man when it comes to serving up 1799 01:47:38,880 --> 01:47:40,840 Speaker 1: the truth and fighting the good fight for conservatives. I 1800 01:47:40,920 --> 01:47:44,439 Speaker 1: just had to have my music, will say shields High. Yeah, Van, 1801 01:47:44,560 --> 01:47:47,000 Speaker 1: I think that's fair. I think that's fair. I know 1802 01:47:47,120 --> 01:47:50,519 Speaker 1: that if we look back in the seventies, right, that 1803 01:47:50,520 --> 01:47:55,599 Speaker 1: would be Zeppelin is seventies? Is Hendrix is more sixties? Right? 1804 01:47:55,680 --> 01:48:00,280 Speaker 1: Or is it more seventies? See I the sixties, seventies, sixties? Right? Yeah? 1805 01:48:00,320 --> 01:48:02,000 Speaker 1: So I mean when we think what are the great 1806 01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:05,240 Speaker 1: bands of the seventies, are the Rolling Stones? Sure? And 1807 01:48:05,360 --> 01:48:09,600 Speaker 1: Zeppelin and Zeppelin? Right? Yeah. Look, I'm just gonna say it, 1808 01:48:09,600 --> 01:48:11,240 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna get a lot of boomer hate for this. 1809 01:48:11,280 --> 01:48:13,240 Speaker 1: And that's okay Boomers, because I love you all. My 1810 01:48:13,320 --> 01:48:17,519 Speaker 1: parents are boomers, most wonderful people on the planet.

I know it's it's people in the office 1814 01:48:25,800 --> 01:48:29,840 Speaker 1: today we're talking about how great what's that song Benny 1815 01:48:29,880 --> 01:48:32,759 Speaker 1: and the Jets? Who does that thing? Whatever? Elton johnes 1816 01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:38,400 Speaker 1: that song is a headache. I'm sorry, takes forever.
