Meanwhile, the media 3 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: is weeping many tears over the death of this terrorist. 4 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 1: We'll also talk about the ways that Democrats are trying 5 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: to constrain President Trump's power as commander in chief. That 6 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: and more coming up on the Buck Sexon Show.

The only 13 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: ones that are mourning the loss of Solomoney or our 14 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: Democrat leaderships and our Democrat presidential candidates, no one else 15 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: in the world, because they knew that this man had 16 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: evil veins, they knew what he was capable of, and 17 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: they saw the destruction and the lives lost base from 18 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: his hands. Nikki Haley is totally spot on here. Welcome 19 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: to Buck Saxon Show. Everybody. I am somewhat a gas 20 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: I mean I always expect it from these democrats, so 21 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: I can't say that it's a surprise. But just because 22 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: you know it's coming from these leftist socialist loons, it 23 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that it's any less jarring when you have 24 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: to see it. They're trying to find all these ways 25 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: to do a couple of things here, I mean, and 26 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: I want to walk you through the propaganda mill, and 27 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: I want to show you the machinery of what it 28 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: is that they're trying to accomplish with all this as 29 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: much as I can today. And one of the things 30 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: they're doing is making it seem as though the Iranian 31 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: people are all absolutely horrified at this united against the regime, 32 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: and that this was the killing of The killing of 33 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: Costam Solomani was like we killed Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, 34 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: and Elvis Presley all at the same time. That's how 35 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: much they love this guy. That's how much the Iranian 36 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: people love Kastam Solimani. Do any of them stop to 37 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: think for a moment about what just happened in Iran 38 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: In the last six weeks or so, the Iranian regime 39 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: killed hundreds, perhaps a few thousand, murdered protesters in the 40 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: streets and for all the protesters murdered in the streets, 41 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 1: who are overwhelming the young people who hate this corrupt 42 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: sclow adic regime. For all of those people, there are 43 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: also those who are being extra judicially, which is kind 44 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: of in Iran. I mean, it's all extraally. It might 45 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: as well be extra judicial everything. But who are being 46 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: covertly taken from their families, homes and perhaps in the 47 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: middle of the night, tortured and maybe never seen again. 48 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: Because there are opponents of the regime that is happening 49 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: in Iran, you see, because the media was so desperate 50 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: to prop up the Obama administration's decision disastrous decision on Iran, 51 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: and because the media hates Trump so much, they are 52 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: willing to elevate the Iranian regime far out of the 53 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: axis of evil. Remember we used to call it a 54 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: member of that Iraq, Iran, North Korea. Only two left 55 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: in that axis, at least as they used to be constituted. 56 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: And it's worth sitting here and asking the question, well, 57 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: hold on a second, hold on a minute, would it 58 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: be normal in the eyes of the Democrats if let's 59 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: just say, hostilities became active with North Korea in some 60 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: third Party countries not in South Korea. And let's say 61 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: there's there's some North Korean backed insurgency in some country, 62 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: and a North Korean general was involved in the murder 63 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: of American soldiers trying to engage in peacekeeping operations stability 64 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: operations in that country, and that North Korean general was 65 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: then actively plotting another round of murder of American soldiers 66 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: in this country that North Korea is operating in, and 67 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: we took him out, would they then be saying, oh 68 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: my gosh, But the people of North Korea, they're all 69 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: weeping and staring into the cameras and crying. They're so 70 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: upset about this. It is so hard now for me 71 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: to separate out how much of what we are seeing 72 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: from our own media. This is their job, supposed to 73 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: be their calling, to bring us the truth, tell us 74 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: what's really happening in these places, that's what they're supposed 75 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: to do instead. I don't know if they are just 76 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: wildly dishonest hacks, if they're primarily driven by that, they're 77 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: propagandists entirely the Democrats they know what they're doing, or 78 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: and I don't know if this is more upsetting or 79 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: more concerning if they're deeply, deeply stupid people. It could 80 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: be either one, it could be both. It's most likely 81 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: a combination thereof for exhibit A today, and there could 82 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: be so many. I bring you Michael McFall now, those 83 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: of you who follow me on Twitter, no that I 84 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: don't hold back on Twitter, but I also I try 85 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: never to be personal about things that aren't an issue 86 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: of public concern, right. I never I don't make fun 87 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: of anyone, you know, I never make fun of anyone's appearance. 88 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't make jokes about you know, their 89 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: family members or anything. I mean, I I keep it 90 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: as on the subject matter as I can, and I 91 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: try not to ever act like a jerk on Twitter, 92 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: even though it's a great way to get attention. A 93 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: lot of conservatives actually do that. Michael McFall is someone 94 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: who is celebrated and still giving a tremendous amount of 95 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: credibility on the left. Oh, Rachel Matta will have him 96 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: on to talk Russia, Russia, Russia, you know, all these 97 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: different people, and he was really the architect of Obama's 98 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: Russia policy for a few years and is known as 99 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: a as a you know, a critic of Putin and 100 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: guys like Stanford, Stanford, Stanford, Oxford, Stanford. You know, a 101 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: stack of fancy degrees. I couldn't even fit them on 102 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: top of this desk. And also at some point I 103 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: have to wonder, you know, these people that spend so 104 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: much time in academia, how many years, how many years 105 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: just studying and not doing do you have to do? 106 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: You're not You're not a neurosurgeon here, you know. Maybe anyway, 107 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: you know, lots and lots of books and PhD research 108 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: and books and okay, and that can be great, maybe 109 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: because the ideas that you're supposed to achieve all that wisdom, 110 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: this is what our elites in the academia and journalism, journalism, 111 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: of course, I mean, come on, no one thinks journalists 112 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: are smart, but they like you to think that if 113 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: they have a certain kind of resume. Even though forget 114 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: about the fact that Trump went to Wharton, arguably the 115 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: best business school in the world, certainly the top three. 116 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: That George Bush went to Harvard Business School, arguably the best. 117 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: You know, those guys don't count. But the degrees and 118 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: the and the fancy titles that liberals have, you're supposed 119 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: to show deference. Ben Venee. Okay, McFall tweeted out last night, 120 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: and this just this just ticked me off. This is 121 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: the former and US ambassador to Russia who is treated 122 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: as a real foreign policy wise elder on the left. Okay, 123 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: he's treated as somebody who's this is he is the 124 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: diplomatic establishment, if you will, He tweeted out, I do 125 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: not support many of Trump's policies, but if Iran killed 126 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: General Millie or Vice President Pence and then threatened to 127 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: destroy the Statue of Liberty or the Lincoln Memorial, I 128 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: would march passionately with Trump's supporters to denounce the Islamic 129 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: Republic of Iran. There's so much stupid in here that 130 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: I could spend the entire hour trying to just unpack 131 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: it is he he can't be serious. Vice President Pence 132 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: is Vice President Pence a uniformed military operating in a 133 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:46,239 Speaker 1: theater of hostilities, designated as a terrorist, involved in covert 134 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: arming and training of globally designated terrorist organizations, and then 135 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: directing personally the maiming and murdering of US servicemen that 136 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: he is not at war with. By the way, Iran 137 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: has not declared war on United States, has been waging 138 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: war against US for decades now, it's just been a 139 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 1: one way war. You see, here's the genius of Trump. 140 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna just put this out there for everybody. 141 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: Trump doesn't like one way wars. He doesn't like the 142 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: one way trade war with China. He's like, I think 143 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: enough of this. I think we've suffered enough. I think 144 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: we as the good guys just allowing them to get 145 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: away with all this. We've had enough of that. So 146 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: he does something about it. And Trump comes in without 147 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: all the stack of fancy Stanford International Relations degrees and says, 148 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: hold on a second. We've been doing what we've been 149 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: doing in Iran for decades, really sanctions, angry diplomacy, sanctions, 150 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: but we always are a little hands off. Oh we don't. 151 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: We don't want to, We don't want to provoke the Iranians. Meanwhile, 152 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: the Iranians are provoking us day in and day out. 153 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 1: Finger in the eye. What are you gonna do about it, America? 154 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: And let's be serious, what have we really done about it? Well, 155 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 1: under the Obama administration, as though we were like an 156 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: Uber eats delivery service for cash, we showed up and 157 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: said here's here's billions and billions of dollars. And you 158 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: could keep your nuclear program, but we need to be 159 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: able to see what you got so far. You don't 160 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: have to dismantle. Let destroy it and prove that you 161 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: keep it the way it is, and then we'll let 162 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: you get rich, keep your terrorism going, keep your conventional 163 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 1: ballistic missile program going, do whatever you gotta do on 164 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: that stuff. Okay, fine, one way war with China on trade. 165 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: Trump says, no one way war with Iran throughout the 166 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: Middle East. Trump says, I don't think so. But instead 167 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: we have people like or on the other hand, we 168 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: have people like Michael McFall who are telling us that 169 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, he's effectively taking the Iranian side of this argument. 170 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: This is, my friends, this is crazy. I mean, how 171 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: far removed is this really from saying, well, killing Abu 172 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: Bakhar al Baghdati, that's really going to destabilize the region, 173 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: because at least then there was somebody that the Syrians 174 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: and the Turks could talk to as the leader of ISIS. 175 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: And I mean, okay, you could say, buck, the Democrats 176 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: wouldn't do that. Really, really you're sure about that? I mean, 177 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: how far removed is this. Kasam Solamani is different in 178 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: that he is a known and named and uniformed service 179 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 1: member of a military that is part of the access 180 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: of evil and a the biggest state sponsor of terror 181 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: in the world. So that gives him a cloak of invincibility. 182 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: We're not. We're not, well, obviously not, but we were 183 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: supposed to accept that. I've got to tell you, there 184 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: are there are a few times when I just become 185 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: I just have to wonder how these people can look 186 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: in the mirror sometimes. You know, you have journalists from 187 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: the most the most storied. I mean, these these pampered, overpaid, 188 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: pompous journalists at you know, CNN and ABC in these places, 189 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: and they're all look at the size of the of 190 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: the processions in the morning, and the oh my, the 191 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: Iranian people are also, how many of you have seen, 192 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: for example, reports from those same I mean, Martha Raddats 193 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: was over there. I was saying, you know, look at 194 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: the size of these protests. The Iranian people are all 195 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: united against us. Now, really, if you're Iranian, and you 196 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: know because you're one of you're part of that youth 197 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: bulge that I talked to you about yesterday. Because of 198 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: all the people that died because of the war that 199 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: did not need to be fought between Iraq and Iran, 200 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: the vicious stupidity of the Mulas in that war. Okay, 201 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: But if you happen to be a person who is 202 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: just mourning the loss of a family member, if you 203 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: happen to be a person who lost your father, your brother, 204 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: your sister, your mother in these protests, are you now 205 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: all of a sudden switching things around saying whoa hold 206 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: on a second, Yes, the regime is a totalitarian theocracy, 207 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: but they killed customs, sole money, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, 208 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: and Elvis compared to compiled into one. I don't think so. 209 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: No critical questions being asked by the press here, no 210 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: honest attempt to get to hold on a moment. Are 211 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: Iranian school children being told that they have to show 212 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: up in protest? They're emptying out the school's kind of 213 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 1: like what democrats do here, of course, you know, climate change, 214 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: emptying out the school sending people on the streets, grabbing 215 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: people on the street, come join the protest or else. 216 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: Here's what you have to see from the reality of 217 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: the way our own press is treating this issue. They 218 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: are credulously covering Iranian state propaganda, which is what this is. 219 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: Protests that are done under threat of force are not 220 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: an expression of the will of the people. But they're 221 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: credulously covering this. Oh, we're just showing you man. We're 222 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: not you know, we're just showing you the facts here 223 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: and are in fact, willfully complicit in the propaganda of 224 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: a terrorist regime. This is our own press. They get 225 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: so huffy when Trump says that they are the enemies 226 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: of the people. I've been calling them the enemies of 227 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: truth for a long time because they are. How could 228 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: they How could they justify this? How can they not 229 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: start every report with these are very large protests. We 230 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: do have substantial reporting, firsthand reporting from people who are 231 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: telling us that these much of these protests are forced. 232 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: And then even beyond that, for a second, why are 233 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: we supposed what exactly are they trying to achieve with this? 234 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: Why should we care how large the size of the protests? Sir, 235 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: I got news for you. If we took out Kim 236 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: Jong un tomorrow, and you have to make this North Korea, 237 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: by the way, North Korea run buddy, buddy, work together 238 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: on a whole lot of stuff. If if Kim Jong 239 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: un was taken out tomorrow, do you think that there 240 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: would be journalists all all upset covering and look at 241 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: the protests, Look at the people in this country. They're 242 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: so upset about the laws of Kim. And by the way, 243 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: there would be a lot of people who are upset 244 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: about it because they've been brainwashed. You have to ask 245 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: the question, whose side are these liberal, multi millionaire empty 246 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: suits in our media. Whose side are they on? What 247 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: exactly are they trying to convey with all of this. 248 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: We don't need them to stand there, you know, faces, 249 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, ashen faced, all sad. Oh my gosh, look 250 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: at these protests. What's going to happen to now? They're 251 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: chanting death to America. Guess what Eugenius is. They've been 252 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: chanting death to America since before I was born, literally, 253 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: but not now. We're all supposed to be so scared 254 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: about this. Now we're all supposed to worry. Here's what 255 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: I'm scared about. What we see here is yet another 256 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: instance of our own press putting their anti Trump ferocity 257 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: ahead of the honest presentation of facts in their job, 258 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: and also doing things in such a way that you 259 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: do have to wonder. You do have to sort of 260 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: question some of their ideological loyalty. Do they think that 261 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: it is an Iranian general, is someone who works for 262 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: the Iranian regime in military uniform, engage in the activities 263 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: that Constam Solimani was really similar to General Millie is 264 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: really similar to our Chamber of the Joint Chiefs of 265 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: Staff or all these ridiculous comparisons you're hearing all the time. 266 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: So we're no better than the Iranians? Is that really 267 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: what the journalists were? No better than the Iranian regime? 268 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: That's what they think. You have to wonder. The answer 269 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: is yes, but it's particularly yes to the journals because 270 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: Trump is our president and so therefore this Trump regime 271 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: is every bit as terrifying and scary, and really more 272 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: so to them than anything the Mullus could ever. Do 273 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: we need a new media, folks, We need to tear 274 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: down their journalistic establishment as it exists right now and 275 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: build something new. If it wasn't clear before, it's certainly 276 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: clear now. But I think it's been clear for a 277 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: long time. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the 278 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: Buck Sex and Show podcast. In just about every foreign 279 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: policy area of President Trump touches. We're worse so often 280 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: we were before he started with it. Looking at the 281 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: president's chaotic and rudderless foreign policy in hotspots around the globe, 282 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: it's hard to conclude that any of the situations are 283 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: better off than when the president took office three years ago. 284 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: His policy seemed to be characterized by erratic, impulsive, and 285 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 1: often egotistical behavior with little regard to a long term 286 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: strategy that would advance the interests of the United States. 287 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: It's Chuck Schumer talking about the Obama administration there, because 288 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: he should be. Let's get in the specifics here of 289 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: what Trump has done on the world stage so far. 290 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember 291 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever 292 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. All Right, I can't just let 293 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: this go. Democrats are out there pretending that Trump is 294 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: so bad on foreign policy. I notice how finn they 295 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: are on any supporting details. This should be easy to do. 296 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: I mean, if I were to point to, for example, 297 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: the Obama administration started twenty I'm sorry, started two thousand 298 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: and eight and end in twenty sixteen, and show them 299 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: it point to a country in the world that matters 300 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: to our geopolitical standing, international relations, trade, national security. You 301 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: name it, Point to an important country, not some like 302 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: you know, little country no one cares about. I'm sure 303 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: you know Obama's you know, diplomat did great work in 304 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: the in Micronesia or something. Who cares, but an important country. 305 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: By the Micronesia was in fact part of the Coalition 306 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: of the Willing back in the day. I'll never forget that. 307 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: It was not the Bush administration's finest moment. I think 308 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 1: they sent one guy, actually one guy. But the Obama administration, 309 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: whether it was Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia, China 310 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: worse in every singlecase, every single instance, we were And 311 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: now you have to also look at it based on 312 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: our position visa v. Those countries. I'm not just saying 313 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: that the country was worse. I don't know, I care 314 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: about our interests. It was worse. But Chuck Schumer, you're 315 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: saying that everything Trump does on foreign policy is wrong. 316 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: Really has he been wrong on China? Because our economy 317 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: is booming in China has had the worst economy it's 318 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: had in thirty years. I mean, it hasn't yet gotten 319 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: the grand bargain that Trump was hoping for on trade. 320 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: But they have gotten the beginnings of a phase one 321 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: trade deal, it seems, and at least they're doing something. 322 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: We're not just suffering in silence. One way trade war, 323 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: Trump says, no, no, now it's going to be a 324 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,959 Speaker 1: two way trade war. And with the Iranians. People keep 325 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,239 Speaker 1: assuming because they want to believe this, I mean, this 326 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: is the problem, because they want to believe everything Trump 327 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: does is terrible. Seemingly intelligent people all of a sudden 328 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: become utter morons because they insist their brain has been 329 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: condition to think that. Because Trump, who yeah, is blustery, 330 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: and you know it is a little loose with the 331 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: words sometimes, I mean, yeah, I get it, But I 332 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: look at what he does. I look at the essential 333 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: characteristics of how he uses the power of his office, 334 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: the decisions, the core decisions, the critical decisions he's been making. 335 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: I keep saying, I mean, this guy's certainly the best 336 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: president since Reagan, and he's making gains on Reagan's like 337 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Reagan did, let's not forget to defeat the 338 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 1: evil empire of the Soviet Union. But I mean trade Trump, 339 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: give him four more years we'll see. I mean the 340 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: first I didn't even come into office thinking he was 341 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: going to be as adept and have the kind of 342 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: results that he's had so far. It's not perfect. The border, 343 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: the wall, there are things that happened, But does anyone 344 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: really think that perfect is going to be the way 345 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: that we would judge this. But going back to Chuck 346 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: Schumer's statement, I just find it. I find it stunning 347 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: that they are so willing to make total fools of 348 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: themselves here in their anti Trump zelotry. Oh wait, speaking 349 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: of making a complete fool of oneself, Bernie Sanders on 350 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: oh guess what on CNN, which is the worst and 351 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: most dishonest of the propaganda networks, now on US Soil, 352 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: CNN had on Anderson Cooper Show, the very serious show. 353 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: You know that that's the real journalism. Stuff happened there. 354 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 1: Here's what Bernie Sanders said about the Trump decision. This 355 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 1: is this You gotta hear this one. This is amazing 356 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: play forty four. But this guy is you know, was 357 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: as bad as he was an official of the Iranian government, 358 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: and you unleash then if China does that, you know, 359 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: if Russia does that, you know, Russia has been implicated 360 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: on the Putin with assassinating dissonance. So once you're in 361 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: the business of the Sassa nation, you unleash some very 362 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: very terrible forces. A couple of things here a truly 363 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: idiotic comment from the number two guy in the polls 364 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: for the Democrats. Right now, you're gonna make him commander 365 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: in chief. What he says is absurd, he goes, He goes, Okay, 366 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: So the guy was a uniformed Iranian so what so 367 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: what does that mean that we could he show could 368 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 1: he partake in an assassination plot on a US official 369 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: in Iraq himself? But oh no, we can't touch him. Guys, 370 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: uniformed Irani in general, where's the line? What? At what point? 371 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 1: And this is what you have to ask you ask liberals. 372 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I know you guys already know this. At 373 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: what point for the Libs would would cost him? Solimani 374 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: be a legitimate target? Didn't him inside Iranian borders, not 375 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 1: on his own soil, not in international territory, not at war, 376 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: He's in a conflict zone, engage an active hostilities against 377 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: the United States and its interests. Administration says there was 378 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: an imminent threat to US personnel that he's directing. At 379 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: what point are we allowed to hit this guy? Never? 380 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: That's amazing? Do we do you think that we have that? 381 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: Do they do the Iranians, as any country in the world, 382 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,959 Speaker 1: would they allow somebody to be effectively the CIA director 383 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 1: and a four star general at the same time and 384 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: show up in a war zone and be engaged in 385 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: active hostilities against another country and they be like, whoa 386 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: hold on? A second American uniformed American uniform soldier. The 387 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: Iranian regime wanted to kill the Saudi ambassador in DC 388 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: at a fancy Italian restaurant that I actually happen to 389 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: like in Georgetown, but the always wears a uniform of 390 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: the Iranian regime. I mean, I'm just wondering, you know, 391 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: if if back in the day, you know, one of know, 392 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: if if Himmler ran out of the bunker with Hitler 393 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: we've been I'm like, oh, this guy, this guy's a 394 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: major player in the Nazi regime. We can you know, 395 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: can't hit him with a bomb. We should have tried 396 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: to bomb, and we tried to take them out as 397 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: fast as we could. So I'm just trying to establish 398 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: what exactly are the lines supposed to be, And why 399 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: doesn't the media seem curious at all about what's really 400 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: happened here, what the reality of the threat is. They 401 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: just assume that Trump and the administration's line. They've already 402 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: been saying this all administration stories, not straight, all the 403 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: administration stories. They have so much more willingness to show 404 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: opposition to their own government and think that they're being 405 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: tough and being strong and being honest. That's what the 406 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: journos do here. Really, they're just pandering to the left 407 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: wing Trump haters in this country, who are just a 408 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: bunch of morons at this point. I mean, you know, 409 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: you can criticize Trump, but you can think that Trump 410 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: does bad things, and he certainly is worthy of criticism 411 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. But the people that have 412 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: just embraced TDS Trump arrangement syndrome, can't even talk to 413 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: them anymore. It's not even worth it everything Trump does. 414 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: I had just I talked to a very you know, 415 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,719 Speaker 1: close friend and advisor recently. He said that he had 416 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: lunch with a friend who was talking about how how 417 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: terrible the Trump economy is, and you just want to 418 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: want to throw your hands up in the air. And 419 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: be like the biggest problem in the economy right now 420 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: for anybody who understands anything in this country is is 421 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: it sustainable? Can these good times last? By the way, 422 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: It's probably not sustainable because of our dad. It's another conversation. 423 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: But no serious person's walking around saying, oh, Trump economy 424 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: is who? This is a tough one. Nobody thinks that. Okay, 425 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: no honest person thinks that. A lot of Trump deranged 426 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: loons do. And yet here we are. Bernie Sanders brings 427 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: up on CNN's answer Cooper go, hold on a second, 428 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: you know, Senator Sanders, that was really that was a 429 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: little bit and and dig into this little more too. 430 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: What does killing it? What does Russia killing dissidents have 431 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: to do with this situation? Kasam Solimani is not a 432 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: US citizen saying mean things about President Trump? How did 433 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: he even make that comparison? Bernie Sanders isn't is a 434 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: third tier intellect, my friends. This is what everyone needs 435 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: to remember. This is not a very smart guy. He's 436 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 1: been saying the same wrong, stupid stuff for over forty years. 437 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: Never figured it out that never seemed to understand that 438 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: the stuff he believes is bad and wrong. He's an 439 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: old guy, not a lot of wisdom. But do you 440 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: think if China and Russia thought that they had imminent 441 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: danger to their own military or perhaps their own diplomats, 442 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 1: or who knows what the target set was from a 443 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: person who had orchestrated the killing of hundreds of their 444 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: soldiers in a place where they weren't you think the 445 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: Chinese the Russians would hesitate for a second to take 446 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: that person out. The only way they might hesitate would 447 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 1: be if it was a country that was considerably more 448 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: powerful than them, and by the the only place where 449 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: that would be the case would be US or each other, 450 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: maybe China and Russia. They would they would do it 451 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: in a second. You think they wouldn't take out in 452 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: a running You think that Shiji and things like whoa, 453 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: and they're going to kill a few hundred Chinese in 454 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: a strike. But you know, cats, some soleimani wears a 455 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: uniform so we can't hit him. He's absurd. But this 456 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: is the this is what you're getting from the so 457 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: called smarts that we're getting from the diplomats out there 458 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: from the Obama administration. You know, there, Michael mcfasso that 459 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: I blocked me because I said I called I didn't 460 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: call him a name. I hear, what did I this 461 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: just just to close the loop on this one, to 462 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: use a DC phrase, um, I said to the guy. 463 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: He so he said his thing about, you know, the 464 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: dumb thing about how he doesn't support Trump but he 465 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: would march with him if if the Iranians killed General 466 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: I mean killed General Miller or Vice President Pence. I responded. 467 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: The Obama administration pulled this guy out of the faculty 468 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: lounge and made him the architect of Obama's failed Russia policy. 469 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,239 Speaker 1: That should be a reminder to all of us. No 470 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: matter how many fancy degrees and government titles you have, 471 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you know. You're asked from your elbow. 472 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: I think that's totally fair. That's not name calling. The 473 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: guy doesn't know one that body part from the other 474 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: body part. I mean, I don't know what to say. 475 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: I don't care how long, I don't care any book 476 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: he's written, how many degrees you have, just just not 477 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: that smart. I don't know what else to say. It's 478 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: not possible to believe this, to make this comparison and 479 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: be somebody who you should be deeply impressed by. It's 480 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: just not feasible. It doesn't work that way. And so 481 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: here we are. But of course they don't they don't believe. 482 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: They don't believe what Trump has said. They don't believe it. 483 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that the commander in chief would even 484 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: be honest with us about this one. And then they 485 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: just continue to babble on about what they would do. 486 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: You're in the Freedom hid this is the Buck Sexton 487 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: Show podcast. Well, there's no question they're going to respond. 488 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: There are lots of questions about how, But we have 489 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: some questions to ask of our own president. Look, there 490 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: is no question that Suleimany had American blood on his hands, 491 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: that he was a bad actor in the region. But 492 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: if there is anything that we have learned in the 493 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: last twenty years about the Middle East, it's that taking 494 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: out a bad guy is not necessarily a good idea. 495 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: And what we've seen here is no evidence that there's 496 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: been proper consultation with Congress, and more importantly and more dangerously, 497 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: no evidence that they've really thought about the consequences. Right now, 498 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: my mind is with the troops who are moving to 499 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: the Middle East and having known what it's like to 500 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: be in the inside of one of those airplanes. You 501 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: need to be able to trust that everybody up your 502 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: chain of command has fought through what's ahead, and we're 503 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,479 Speaker 1: just not seeing a lot of indications of that. Taking 504 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: out a bad guy is not necessarily a good idea. Gee, 505 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: I'm so glad we have Rhodes scholar mayor Pete here. 506 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: By the way, McFall is also a rhodescholar. I keep 507 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: telling Rhodes scholars are generally just people that are kiss 508 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: ups and do whatever they gotta do to get the 509 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: Rhodes give all. I know a lot of friends, a 510 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,959 Speaker 1: lot of people that are RhoD scholars who Bill Clinton 511 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: was a Rhodes scholar, Rachel Matta was a Rhodes scholar. 512 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: Oh man, it's a very politicized process. But that's a 513 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: whole other thing. How could you even tell one school 514 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: another school. Everyone's getting straight a's at all these schools 515 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: because everyone gets as because once you get into these 516 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: elite institutions, they just they just push you through with, oh, 517 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: look at us smart. Everybody is from here. But if 518 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: everybody's that smart, how smart is anybody really? Right? These 519 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: places are a joke. At Yale, the little cry babies 520 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: can't even hear ideas they don't like. They can't hand 521 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: to watching Toddler's walk around in you know, a Pocahona's 522 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: costume because it's so offensive and yeah, here we are, 523 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: may or Pete doesn't have any solutions, doesn't have any answers, 524 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: just knows that they can't think this is the right 525 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: move because Trump did it. That's all that you have 526 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: to know about it. The media can't take a critical 527 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: view of the Iranian regimes forced demonstrations out in the streets, 528 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: and also even if even if they weren't forced at all, Okay, 529 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: the Iranians don't have a free press, the people don't 530 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: have the right of assembly, don't have the right to organize. 531 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: So is public sentiment and its totalitarianism is not something 532 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: that I get particularly weepy about because the people are 533 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: being brainwashed at the end of a bayonet. Does the 534 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: media ever think about this, They ever take any time 535 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: to consider the reality of and of course not too busy, 536 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: you know, making sure that their hair looks perfect. They're 537 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: gonna get invited to, you know, fancy party at Richard 538 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: Branson's private island or whatever it's really it has been 539 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: an amazing circumstance here to see what the But the 540 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: good news for the Democrats is that as dumb as 541 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: they look talking about this issue, which I think a 542 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: part of this that gets lost is the need to 543 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: re establish deterrence as a real thing that has come 544 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: back into the four. Maybe that changes the calculation on 545 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: the Iranian side. Maybe all of a sudden they'll realize, okay, 546 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: we're not going to that that there's not immunity for 547 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: actions against us through proxies. That's been the sort of 548 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: the secret sauce of the Iranian anti US action for 549 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: the last however many years now decades. If they if 550 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: an Iranian military officer isn't the one who pulls the trigger, 551 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: if he just gives the terrorists that he has trained 552 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: and funded and directed to go kill somebody the gun, 553 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: we're not gonna go. You know, I want to touch 554 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: the Cama's with Iran. They're so scary. Iran is a 555 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: little timpot dictatorship run by Mulla's with a tiny little economy. 556 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: It's it's running out of foreign currency reserves. We could 557 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: we could annihilate their infrastructure if we wanted to, and 558 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: I'm not saying we should. But I mean, let's get 559 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: real here, walking around, Oh what are we gonna do 560 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: and blowing up a bunch of stuff in Iran if 561 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 1: we have to do in retaliation for whatever they do 562 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: to us, doesn't mean we're doesn't mean we're going to war. 563 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: We're already in a state of war with the Iranians. 564 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: You know. You know what keeps the Iranians from engaging 565 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: in a mass casualty terror attack not any sense of 566 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: morality or international law or anything else. The only thing 567 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: that stops Iran from killing a lot of Americans and 568 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: including American civilians anywhere in the world is the implied 569 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: threat from the United States that we will crush them 570 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 1: in response. That's the only thing they would if they 571 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: thought they could do it and it was in their interests. 572 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 1: They do it in a heartbeat. This is an evil regime. 573 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,320 Speaker 1: The people who run this country. They hang people from cranes, 574 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,800 Speaker 1: They murder gaze. Does the media forget all of this stuff? 575 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: Oh no, they're going to compare Kasam Samani is you know, 576 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: just like our own, Just like our own Chamber of 577 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: the Joint Chiefs of Staff, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and 578 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: Elvis all at Once and producer Mark's favorite baseball player, 579 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: Jude 'maggio. I don't know whoever the most of all time? 580 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: Is that right? Something like that? All all the same? 581 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,240 Speaker 1: Is he the greatest ever? Babe Ruth? Babe Ruth? Probably Okay, yeah, 582 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: Babe Ruth, Elvis, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, all in one, 583 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: Kassam Sulamani, How could we ever have touched this amazing person? 584 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: That's the that's the premise you get from the media. 585 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,919 Speaker 1: He's just like one of ours, really, don't I don't 586 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: think so. Of my friends, I don't think so. Um, 587 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: and I have lost my patience for dealing with the 588 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: dishonesty and the stupidity of those in the mainstream media. UM. 589 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,879 Speaker 1: I no longer just vehemently disagree with them. I think 590 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: they are worthy of contempt and disrespect in many cases, 591 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: and I don't say that lightly. That's where we are 592 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: now on this Iran thing, just like it's where we 593 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: were on the cabin all thing too. Thanks for listening 594 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: to the Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on 595 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: Apple podcast, the I heart rate app, befoor, wherever you 596 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: get your podcasts. There's a really important cultural dynamic playing out. 597 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: Political dynamic playing out as well across the country right 598 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 1: now that you're not hearing very much about that, I 599 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,240 Speaker 1: want to spend some time talking to you about today, 600 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 1: and it has to do with the polarization of states 601 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: right where we increasingly now have states that are single 602 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,399 Speaker 1: party strongholds. We'll talk more about California later on in 603 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,479 Speaker 1: the show today, but there are these states out there 604 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,399 Speaker 1: where they've decided that they're just going to forget about 605 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,760 Speaker 1: the fact that they have many, right a large percentage 606 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,240 Speaker 1: of residents who would not agree with a certain action. 607 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: They're going to enact deeply progressive, left wing policies where 608 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: they can. And you've seen a little bit of this 609 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: in red strongholds recently, but really just around some issues 610 00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: like you know, trying to restrict abortion, which would be 611 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,359 Speaker 1: a good thing for humanity, but nonetheless there have been 612 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: these these efforts that are ramping up. I've seen him 613 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: particularly in a lot of these blue states, because you've 614 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: had over the last three years while Trump's in office, 615 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 1: four hundred state lawmaker seats that were held by Republicans 616 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: have gone to Democrats. So this also occurred. Would I 617 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,399 Speaker 1: would have you remember this occurred during the Obama years 618 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 1: in the other direction, where Obama he was very popular 619 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 1: and he did very well as president. Of course, won 620 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: eight years in office, very popular Democrats, not very popular 621 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 1: with Republicans, but he won big, big electoral victories both 622 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: times around. Well, people forget is that he also presided 623 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: over a Democrat party that was that lost power in Congress, 624 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: and you know, he lost control of the House the 625 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: Tea Party wave in twenty ten, then lost control later on. 626 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 1: The Democrats lost control of the Senate, and all along 627 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:04,399 Speaker 1: there were enormous losses, enormous losses having to do with 628 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: the state legislatures where Republicans were control a lot of 629 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: the state legislatures. Now, this is very, very important for 630 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of reasons. One of them, though I 631 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 1: wanted to get this out right away, is that in 632 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, there'll be many states that are up for 633 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:29,320 Speaker 1: their districting. Redistricting they determine what the congressional congressional districts are. Democrats, 634 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,879 Speaker 1: as they tend to do, have been fighting this when 635 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: they don't like the outcome. When they don't like the outcome, 636 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: the process is suspect. When they do like the outcome. 637 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: The process is sacrosanct. That's how they approach everything, right. 638 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 1: But it's certainly the case with districting and redistricting or 639 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: I keep using those two words meaning the same thing. Um, 640 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 1: you know, there have been some court challenges. Virginia is 641 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 1: a very good example of this, where they say, sorry, 642 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to do that in this way in 643 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: this district. It's it's two favorable for the side that 644 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,959 Speaker 1: I don't like. That's the only real standard, because any 645 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: congressional district is inherent. It's like drawing the borders of 646 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,399 Speaker 1: a country on a map. What should the border between 647 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: the US and Canada really be? Well, kind of just 648 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: some people in charge had a map and they drew 649 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: a line on a map, and that's kind of what happens. 650 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: That's it. There's no Yeah, sometimes you have some natural barriers, 651 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 1: you know, the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean. Those are 652 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: our borders with Europe and Asia respectively. I mean there's 653 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,360 Speaker 1: something the Rio grand is kind of a border, but 654 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 1: not really. You have some areas where there's a natural border, 655 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,919 Speaker 1: but usually it's just lines on a map. That's true 656 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: of congressional districts, and so what you have now are 657 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 1: Democrats who are very upset, and they keep saying that 658 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: it's cheating, it's unfair because Republicans have drawn districts that 659 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 1: are more favorable to their political prospects. Then I guess 660 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 1: what the Democrats would want. By the way, we all 661 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: know that everyone who complains about that now and any 662 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: judge who even in a state like Virginia would overrule 663 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: that as has happened. They do that, And I think 664 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 1: we all know that if it were advantaging Democrats and 665 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: disadvantaging Republicans, then all of a sudden, the districts are fine, 666 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,359 Speaker 1: no problem, Hey, what are you gonna do? It's all 667 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 1: kind of subjective, you know, they would. This is what 668 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 1: the root the foundation of liberalism today is hypocrisy and 669 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: double standard. Right though, those are the two the twin 670 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: pillars of contemporary Democrat liberalism socialism, hypocrisy and double standards 671 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:37,479 Speaker 1: all across the board. But the Democrats have flipped eight 672 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: legislative chambers just since twenty eighteen, and they have both 673 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:49,360 Speaker 1: chambers in nineteen states. Virginia is the most you know, 674 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,920 Speaker 1: the most most sort of battleground focus one because Virginia 675 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: is a state with a lot of Republicans and a 676 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 1: lot of Democrats. It's a purple state that I think, 677 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: unfortunately is now. I think Virginia is a blue state 678 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 1: for presidential election purposes, and I don't think it's going 679 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: to change anytime soon. It's really become dominated by the 680 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: expansion of DC suburbs, notably Arlington, Virginia and Loudon County 681 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: and all these other counties that are in Virginia that 682 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,760 Speaker 1: are very, very wealthy by the way, but these different 683 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:27,880 Speaker 1: Fairfax County they've become huge population centers and they have 684 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,839 Speaker 1: a big sway on Virginia going blue. And so now 685 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: they're trying to push all this legislation through where they 686 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 1: want to. They call it expanding voting access, which is 687 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: always a very vague. What do they call it expanding 688 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: voting access? I mean you should not be able to 689 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: voteor you shouldn't be able to vote. Why are how 690 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: are they expanding voting access? Oh, we'll get into some 691 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:53,879 Speaker 1: of this, putting in protection state protections for abortion rights. 692 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 1: Keep in mind, I think it was Jeffrey Tubin, who 693 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: is CNN's chief legal analyst, who was a garbage legal analyst. 694 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 1: I mean not good. You would not want this guy. 695 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 1: You would rather if you were being held in a 696 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: prison in Alabama for a murder you did not commit, 697 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,439 Speaker 1: you would rather not just have my cousin Vinnie. You'd 698 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: rather actually have Joe Peshi, all five foot two of 699 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: him defending your rights and trying to keep you out 700 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: of prison. Then I think you would have Jeffrey tub 701 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 1: And Jeffrey Tuban had some tweet that after Kavanaugh was 702 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: in After Kavanaugh was confirmed, he tweeted out that their 703 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 1: abortion will be illegal in like a dozen states or 704 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 1: something within eighteen months, And it had been. It was 705 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 1: eighteen months last month, and abortion is illegal statewide in 706 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: zero states. But other than that, great prediction, Jeffrey Tuban. 707 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 1: But Democrats are showing us what the plan is here, 708 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: which is that if there is any reduction in the 709 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 1: absolutest right to abortion, Remember abortion is a very is 710 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,480 Speaker 1: not just very important right to Democrats because also if 711 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 1: you ever start to move away from I mean, they 712 00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 1: inherently to have to think, they have to believe abortion 713 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,400 Speaker 1: is a good thing. Now they say that it's not 714 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 1: that they want it safe, legal and rare. They've tried 715 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:09,439 Speaker 1: them in the past, but the the public admission through 716 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: law that you want less abortion, even though about seventy 717 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: to eighty percent of the population depending on the poll 718 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 1: you're talking about, opposes late term abortion. They understand there's 719 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 1: some problems and some abortion procedures if that is ever 720 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 1: enshrined in laws, if there or if there are limitations 721 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 1: restrictions on abortion at the state level, if some states 722 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,280 Speaker 1: say sorry, we think this is unethical and this is immoral, 723 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 1: then you would have a circumstance where Democrats would have 724 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 1: to come face to face with they think that a 725 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: right that there can be a right to do something 726 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 1: that is bad. Find me another right to do something 727 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 1: that is bad, that is immoral. That is, you have 728 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 1: a right to do something that is immoral and bad 729 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 1: and wrong and not like subjectively bad as in well, 730 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 1: you know, speech can be mean offensive. No, No No, I 731 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,360 Speaker 1: mean you have a right to do something that is 732 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,799 Speaker 1: that is a wrong. It can never be right to 733 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: do a wrong. It's actually one of the preferred sayings 734 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 1: from my old mentor and amorous professor Hadley Archy's. He 735 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 1: used to say that all the time. He was right, 736 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 1: by the way, But Democrats are showing us what the 737 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:23,240 Speaker 1: plan is, which is to protect abortion across the board 738 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 1: in as many states as possible, and they protected as 739 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,320 Speaker 1: an absolutist right. You know, they're special. You can't even 740 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,560 Speaker 1: you know, stand in the doorway of an abortion clinic 741 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: and try to pass out literature against it. You know, 742 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,719 Speaker 1: there's all these things. It's this they create all this 743 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:43,799 Speaker 1: additional legislation and regulation so that abortion access they call it, 744 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,080 Speaker 1: now becomes so and they say abortionist healthcare. So really 745 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:48,959 Speaker 1: it should be paid for by the state, which means 746 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 1: you should pay for it. This is a right that 747 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,719 Speaker 1: now exists. They say that cannot be restricted, that you 748 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 1: should pay Forget the High Demendment. They've abandoned that. I mean, 749 00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 1: they've become extremists on abortion even here to where they 750 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,799 Speaker 1: were twenty years ago, ten years ago. Now they're like, nope, 751 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:05,920 Speaker 1: not only should you should have to pay for it, 752 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 1: the government should fund it, and you should have no 753 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: say in this. You cannot try to, uh, you know, 754 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,800 Speaker 1: stand in the way of the doorway of an abortion clinic. 755 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, if if an illegal alien 756 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,879 Speaker 1: comes into the country, that person's abortion should be paid 757 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 1: for with taxpayer dollars too. That's where we are. So 758 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 1: states are not trying to make sure they already have 759 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 1: legislation in place in case Trump judges are are in 760 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 1: fact the difference maker here. And then I say this 761 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,719 Speaker 1: and people I had people kind of push back on this, 762 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 1: you know, Conservatives when I brought it up with them. 763 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:49,840 Speaker 1: But for all of Trump's imperfections and his personal his 764 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,280 Speaker 1: personal failings, I think you could say in his personal life, 765 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 1: which I know, you know again, look, it's fair game, 766 00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 1: but it's also I don't wanna be too harsh on 767 00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,800 Speaker 1: this stuff. But for all of that, how would we 768 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:05,799 Speaker 1: judge it? Speaking of judge kind of a sloppy transition here, 769 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:10,839 Speaker 1: but this President Trump is better on judges than any 770 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,399 Speaker 1: Republican president in my lifetime. I think you could argue 771 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 1: probably any Republican president for as long as we've had 772 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 1: the political issues at hand that we do. So, I 773 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,480 Speaker 1: mean you go back a couple of generations, he's the 774 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 1: best Republican president for the appointment of Supreme Court judges 775 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,839 Speaker 1: in a hundred years easily, I mean, if you want 776 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 1: to go before that, but it was kind of different stuff. 777 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: So he's unbelievable. I mean, he's been fantastic with the 778 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,440 Speaker 1: federal judges he's appointed, and Mitch McConnell, give him credit 779 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:42,320 Speaker 1: to cocaine, Mitch getting the job done. He's putting people 780 00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 1: into positions, lifetime lifetime positions, appointments across the federal judiciary 781 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,359 Speaker 1: that's going to have a really major impact for a 782 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: very long time. And you know, Trump has been excellent 783 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: on these judges. If, in fact, a another opening comes 784 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 1: up in the next suming Trump wins re election, which 785 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,319 Speaker 1: we know we don't. We're not counting our chickens before 786 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 1: they hatch. Assuming Trump wins the next election, though, and 787 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,239 Speaker 1: he manages to appoint someone along the lines of a 788 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:13,840 Speaker 1: Gorsitch or a Kavanaugh, although we don't know how. We 789 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,840 Speaker 1: don't know how conservative and constitutionals Cavanaugh really is yet, 790 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 1: we don't know. We know he didn't run a secret 791 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,560 Speaker 1: gang rape ring back in the day, unless you're a 792 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,319 Speaker 1: total lunatic in a moron who believes that. Still, but 793 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:27,799 Speaker 1: you know, we don't know how good he is on 794 00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,719 Speaker 1: some of these issues. But if Trump's election and his 795 00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:37,920 Speaker 1: appointment results in a change in abortion law at the 796 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 1: Supreme Court level, and that then means that it becomes 797 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 1: a state's issue, which is what these states are all 798 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:48,360 Speaker 1: doing to prepare for it meaning that the blue legislatures 799 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,400 Speaker 1: even in states like like Virginia that are kind of purple. Right, 800 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 1: the California is a separate issue where it's just blue 801 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 1: and there's no hope of changing anytime soon. We'll talk 802 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 1: about that later. But in Virginia, where it's it's a 803 00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 1: purple state trending blue, they're trying to put these these 804 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,239 Speaker 1: laws in place while they can. You know, this is 805 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,279 Speaker 1: kind of like what the Democrats did with Obamacare. Oh, 806 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 1: we have a kind of an anomaly here. We have 807 00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,200 Speaker 1: control everywhere. I just forget about the other side. Just 808 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,360 Speaker 1: do it to just do it to them, just ram 809 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:21,240 Speaker 1: your progressivism down their throats. And but on abortion specifically, 810 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 1: they're preparing for this because if Trump's judges do anything 811 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:30,360 Speaker 1: that restricts abortion or just no longer has this this 812 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,320 Speaker 1: writ from on high of the Supreme Court that abortion 813 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:34,840 Speaker 1: is the law of the land and there can be 814 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,960 Speaker 1: no state restrictions on it. You know, and Planned Parenthood v. 815 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 1: Casey isn't even is really where this could happen where 816 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:46,360 Speaker 1: you have the special category of abortion in our law. 817 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,760 Speaker 1: Never I mean, the Rovyway decision is a horrible decision, 818 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,279 Speaker 1: but just based on the legal aspects of it, never 819 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 1: mind the moral. But then you look at plan Parenthood v. Cacy, 820 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,239 Speaker 1: where you added all of this. Now, abortion is a 821 00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,279 Speaker 1: right that must be protected along the lines of how 822 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,640 Speaker 1: people think of, you know, voting rights. It's not just 823 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 1: you have a right to be able to vote, but 824 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's like, well you can't you know, you 825 00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,600 Speaker 1: can't have a polling place moved from here to there. 826 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,479 Speaker 1: And there's all these other things that get added into 827 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 1: it to make it a right that is ineffective, right, right, 828 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,719 Speaker 1: So if you have some of those restrictions that come 829 00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 1: as a result of a change from the Supreme Court 830 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,680 Speaker 1: because of Trump judges, and this is what I'm really 831 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:25,239 Speaker 1: trying to get to you here, but no one really thinks, 832 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,640 Speaker 1: for this way, how many lives will Trump have saved? 833 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 1: How many lives will Donald Trump be directly responsible for 834 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,520 Speaker 1: saving if the judges that he appoints, specifically judges that 835 00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 1: he has appointed the Supreme Court are the deciding factor 836 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 1: in rolling back the current regime of abortion this country, 837 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,839 Speaker 1: such that not every state will of course outlawed. Some 838 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,000 Speaker 1: states or California will have it exactly as it is 839 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 1: right now, but there will be states where it's still practiced, 840 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,880 Speaker 1: where all of a sudden it will be endowed or 841 00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,600 Speaker 1: perhaps be eliminated entirely. How many lives will he be 842 00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:04,719 Speaker 1: responsible for saving. I think that's a very real calculation 843 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 1: that we should keep in mind as the president. People say, oh, my, judges, 844 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 1: this is a line you'll here like conservatives and you know, evangelicals, 845 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,080 Speaker 1: for example, I've been getting so much heat recently because 846 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 1: they overwhelmingly, I think eighty to ninety percent of them 847 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,920 Speaker 1: support Donald Trump. And people say, oh, well, that's so hypocritical, 848 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,120 Speaker 1: because evangelicals are supposed to care about character, and they're 849 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,880 Speaker 1: supposed to care about you know, this and the other thing. 850 00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 1: And to that, I just say, well, hold on a second. 851 00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:32,440 Speaker 1: Evangelicals care about the president United States, defending their interests, 852 00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:36,680 Speaker 1: their rights, and pushing moral policy. And you know, I 853 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,440 Speaker 1: take it in the other direction. I say, Catholics that 854 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:42,440 Speaker 1: support people like Nancy Pelosi as a Catholic, which is 855 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,279 Speaker 1: what she loves to say, of course, even though she's 856 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:49,840 Speaker 1: pushing for the policies that I think would make Beelzebub grin. 857 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:53,279 Speaker 1: I don't know how Catholics are okay with what the 858 00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 1: stuff the Democratic parties doing and still consider themselves to 859 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:59,280 Speaker 1: be in any reasonable or any meaningful way of believing Hatholic. 860 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 1: So that's that's a part of this. But then there's 861 00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 1: the issue of guns, which I wanted to transition us too. 862 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,880 Speaker 1: You're in the Freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton 863 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:17,400 Speaker 1: Show podcast. Virginia is a state that I've spent a 864 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,719 Speaker 1: lot of time and I have a family still in Virginia, 865 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,360 Speaker 1: and I used to spend one or two major holidays 866 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 1: a year, usually is either Thanksgiving or Fourth of July. 867 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,880 Speaker 1: We're both in Virginia seeing my grandmother down there. And 868 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 1: you know, we've always had this connection to Virginia as 869 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:39,120 Speaker 1: a family as a result, and I mean meaning my 870 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,000 Speaker 1: immediate family, and you know, we think of it as 871 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,040 Speaker 1: the South, and obviously you go back and you know, 872 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,800 Speaker 1: the history of history of this country had clearly you know, 873 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,040 Speaker 1: you know, Richmond's role in the South and everything on. 874 00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 1: I mean, we're very aware of Virginia as the South, 875 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,839 Speaker 1: but you know, it's starting to feel a lot less 876 00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,280 Speaker 1: like the South in the sense that it's gone bluer 877 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:02,799 Speaker 1: and bluer in recent years. And that's where you have 878 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:04,760 Speaker 1: this situation now. And this is by the way, also 879 00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:09,040 Speaker 1: why I talk about hypocrisy and the way the Democrats 880 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 1: will abandon principles they pretend to care about for political expedience. 881 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,640 Speaker 1: Governor Northam the guy who was wearing black face in 882 00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:17,040 Speaker 1: the photo, but he couldn't remember if he was in 883 00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:18,960 Speaker 1: the clan robe or if he was the black face guy, 884 00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 1: or how many times he did it, and he lied 885 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:26,080 Speaker 1: about it. That guy is the governor of a state 886 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,439 Speaker 1: where right now you have Democrats in control of both 887 00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,239 Speaker 1: parts of the state legislature, and so he was very 888 00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:38,759 Speaker 1: necessary for the plan of trying to push very aggressive 889 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 1: progressive policies in a state where there's certainly a large 890 00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:49,319 Speaker 1: contingent of Republicans conservatives who are not on board for 891 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:53,520 Speaker 1: this at all and they just don't care. Democrats have 892 00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,200 Speaker 1: now taken it, and it's part of this, I think, 893 00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,840 Speaker 1: is a reflection also of the polarized era were in 894 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,480 Speaker 1: when it comes to Trump. Democrats have taken an attitude 895 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,839 Speaker 1: in these states of we're just going to do as 896 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:05,960 Speaker 1: much as we can, as fast as we can when 897 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:10,359 Speaker 1: we have power, irrespective even really of the possible long 898 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,839 Speaker 1: term political risks. And that is where we get to 899 00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:19,200 Speaker 1: this plan in Virginia, which I've mentioned it a couple 900 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:22,319 Speaker 1: of times in the show. We haven't gotten into all 901 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,000 Speaker 1: that much detail about it, but there is this plan 902 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:29,320 Speaker 1: in Virginia to ban semi automatic rifles that are deemed 903 00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:34,880 Speaker 1: assault rifles. And you may have a situation where it 904 00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,920 Speaker 1: mean depends on how this isn't forced, but you may 905 00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:41,319 Speaker 1: have a situation where you have law enforcement going to 906 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:46,040 Speaker 1: people's homes and under the law, I mean, if it's banned, 907 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,479 Speaker 1: it's banned. If it's illegal, it's illegal. And now people 908 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,680 Speaker 1: are going to be arrested in the state of Virginia. 909 00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,520 Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't you know, this isn't Massachusetts or 910 00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:56,680 Speaker 1: California or some of these places that you would expect 911 00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,480 Speaker 1: might be arrested for having a semi automatic rifle that 912 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:03,640 Speaker 1: a certain cosmetic characteristics that liberals find scary. That's what 913 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,400 Speaker 1: we're heading for. And that also then brings me to 914 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:12,239 Speaker 1: sanctuary jurisdiction. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. 915 00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:16,400 Speaker 1: Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or 916 00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. All right, so, what is 917 00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,480 Speaker 1: a sanctuary jurisdiction in the context of you you have 918 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:27,920 Speaker 1: this this Democrat control of both parts of the legislature 919 00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:34,319 Speaker 1: for Virginia, and you have a governor. I remember they 920 00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 1: thought maybe for a while, okay, we're gonna push the 921 00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,840 Speaker 1: governor out. But then you had I think, justin Fairfax, 922 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:46,440 Speaker 1: just below the governor, who was accused by two different 923 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,200 Speaker 1: women of sexual assault, and so that then all of 924 00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,319 Speaker 1: a sudden and this all happened roughly at the same time. 925 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,719 Speaker 1: And then if he also stepped down or couldn't take 926 00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:59,440 Speaker 1: over the governor's role. For Northam, you had Mark Harring 927 00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,680 Speaker 1: who had his own like blackface issue in his past 928 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,480 Speaker 1: where and he initially called for Northam to stepped down. 929 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,840 Speaker 1: So you could have had you know, one, two, three, 930 00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:13,040 Speaker 1: the top three of the state of Virginia on the 931 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,560 Speaker 1: executive branch side effectively stepped down or pushed out or 932 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,640 Speaker 1: gone whatever, resign. So that's why they're like, all right, 933 00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,920 Speaker 1: we're just gonna keep Northam. You got Northam still in place. 934 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,080 Speaker 1: Nor remember Northam's the guy not only had the blackface 935 00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:29,040 Speaker 1: situation in his past, but also talked far too openly 936 00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,040 Speaker 1: and honestly, I think is what you'd have to say about, 937 00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:34,200 Speaker 1: how you know, if if if a child of an 938 00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,480 Speaker 1: abortion was born alive, you know, you'd want to like 939 00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,840 Speaker 1: be nice to it and comfort it, beore before you 940 00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,239 Speaker 1: kill it. This is what he said. He said it 941 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,719 Speaker 1: on radio. You can all hear it for yourself. Democrats 942 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,600 Speaker 1: pretend that this is scaremongering, or this isn't a real thing, 943 00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:52,439 Speaker 1: or guy said it, he meant what he said. He hasn't. 944 00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:55,319 Speaker 1: And also no one has ever said that that that's 945 00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,800 Speaker 1: not the reality of the law on Virginia, and Democrats 946 00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,760 Speaker 1: are trying to make that now they're trying to enshrine 947 00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:04,440 Speaker 1: that as the law at the state level. And then 948 00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,120 Speaker 1: that brings me to this this gun issue and the 949 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:13,200 Speaker 1: notion of sanctuary jurisdictions. Now here's where the standard set 950 00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,200 Speaker 1: by liberals, which and it's really a standard of we 951 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,799 Speaker 1: have no standards other than we want power, we will 952 00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,799 Speaker 1: achieve power, will do what is necessary. The standards set 953 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:29,480 Speaker 1: by liberals here is more or less being replicated by Republicans. 954 00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:34,400 Speaker 1: Liberals do it with immigration, they've just decided, you know, 955 00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,319 Speaker 1: they've just decided on their own for whatever reason, that 956 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:42,799 Speaker 1: they are in a position to not enforce immigration law right. 957 00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,320 Speaker 1: Sanctuary cities, as you know, and there's hundreds and hundred 958 00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,319 Speaker 1: of them across the country, and what they're saying is 959 00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,840 Speaker 1: that they will not stay in local law enforcement, will 960 00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:54,960 Speaker 1: not be a part of federal law that mandates that 961 00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,080 Speaker 1: you can't be in the country illegally, and that has, 962 00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,080 Speaker 1: of course other provisions that come into play as well. 963 00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:00,880 Speaker 1: They will not be a part of it, and they 964 00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,040 Speaker 1: will in fact do what they can to make it harder. 965 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,760 Speaker 1: They will not extend courtesy assistance to federal law enforcement 966 00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:12,160 Speaker 1: immigration customs officers. They will not honor detainer requests. So 967 00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,560 Speaker 1: when someone's already in prison who's an illegal alien in 968 00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 1: sanctuary jurisdictions, they will not hold them until ice can 969 00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,240 Speaker 1: show up and take custody of them. They won't even 970 00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:24,680 Speaker 1: do that. They will not even notify in some cases 971 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 1: they have an illegal alien and custody. And there's the 972 00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,640 Speaker 1: fight underwear right now. This administration, the Trump administration, has 973 00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:32,440 Speaker 1: been waging this battle trying to say, hey, hold on 974 00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,600 Speaker 1: a second, you know, you can't just you can't just 975 00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 1: do this. You can't just pretend that the law is 976 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:40,400 Speaker 1: in the law, and the law enforcement, even at the 977 00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 1: state and local level, has no role to play in 978 00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:47,080 Speaker 1: assisting the federal government. Of course, the states, the Democrats 979 00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:51,360 Speaker 1: have all of a sudden established or have discovered states rights, 980 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,720 Speaker 1: which we know has a very negative connotation in many 981 00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:58,640 Speaker 1: contexts for other reasons. But Democrats have established or have 982 00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 1: figured out that their states rights, such as in this case, 983 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:07,640 Speaker 1: would make it impossible or not a legal duty for 984 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:12,640 Speaker 1: them to do what federal law enforcement wants them to do. Okay, now, 985 00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 1: let's get back to the sanctuary gun situation here. What 986 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,760 Speaker 1: that is is that you have people in sheriffs in 987 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:25,680 Speaker 1: certain towns cities of Virginia who have already said, look, 988 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,360 Speaker 1: we're just we're not going to do this thing that 989 00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: you want us to do, where we're going to start 990 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,840 Speaker 1: arresting people and enforcing US law against assualt rifles where 991 00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:37,960 Speaker 1: it's not going to do it, which is going to 992 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:39,880 Speaker 1: be very interesting. Now that is keep in mind it's 993 00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:43,600 Speaker 1: a little different than sanctuary cities. In sanctuary cities, it's 994 00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:46,280 Speaker 1: state and local law enforcement saying we will not assist 995 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:51,040 Speaker 1: or in any way enforce federal immigration law. Now you 996 00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:54,960 Speaker 1: have people at the state level who are law enforcement 997 00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:58,000 Speaker 1: officers paid by the state, working for the state, who 998 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:02,680 Speaker 1: are saying, sorry, not going to do it. This is 999 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:08,040 Speaker 1: nullification of the people in charge, nullification of the laws 1000 00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,840 Speaker 1: of the people in charge of enforcing the laws. Now, 1001 00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:16,680 Speaker 1: I understand why they would do this, because it's outrageous 1002 00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,800 Speaker 1: that the Virginia State legislature and this sort of progressive 1003 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:24,200 Speaker 1: frenzy wants to ban So I'm sure there are other 1004 00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:26,440 Speaker 1: things they're planning on doing. Two in the realm of 1005 00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,520 Speaker 1: gun control, there's more specifics that they're going to try 1006 00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:32,760 Speaker 1: to throw in the mix here and do other things 1007 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:38,520 Speaker 1: that would be particularly owners for gun owners. Because remember, 1008 00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:42,840 Speaker 1: much of the gun control agenda is really about agitating 1009 00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:45,720 Speaker 1: and other rising people who believe in the Second Amendment 1010 00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,919 Speaker 1: who own guns. Much of what they are really trying 1011 00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,720 Speaker 1: to accomplish with some of this legislation is just to 1012 00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,280 Speaker 1: thumb their nose at to spit in the faces of 1013 00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,400 Speaker 1: people who are their political opponents who tend to be 1014 00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:04,760 Speaker 1: Second Amendment support orders. But what happens, my friends, what 1015 01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:10,080 Speaker 1: happens when you have a circumstance where now Democrats decide 1016 01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:13,040 Speaker 1: that certain state laws will just not be enforced. Now, 1017 01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,480 Speaker 1: the drug thing, by the way, is another another situation, 1018 01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,680 Speaker 1: but the federal government has kind of said, okay, but 1019 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,920 Speaker 1: we have a lot of laws in this country right 1020 01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,680 Speaker 1: now that you start to say what exactly is the law? 1021 01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:29,280 Speaker 1: Where does the law stop and start? You've got immigration 1022 01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:33,240 Speaker 1: law that is not enforced by state and local governments 1023 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:38,240 Speaker 1: and sanctual jurisdictions, and that the federal government seems unable 1024 01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,000 Speaker 1: to enforce. And when you're unable to enforce a law, 1025 01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:43,120 Speaker 1: there's certainly an argument made that it has ceased to 1026 01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:47,680 Speaker 1: be a law. So the federal government has fallen down 1027 01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:50,280 Speaker 1: on the job in this regard. So then you have 1028 01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 1: to ask, okay, well, where else do we have laws 1029 01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:56,080 Speaker 1: that are not being treated as law. Look, I'm and 1030 01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:57,640 Speaker 1: some of you get very mad at me on this one, 1031 01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 1: and I understand. I know that there are very strong 1032 01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:04,880 Speaker 1: feelings around marijuana legalization and whether it's a good thing 1033 01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:08,160 Speaker 1: or a bad thing. I mean, the states that have 1034 01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:13,960 Speaker 1: made it de facto legal although it's not legal. I mean, 1035 01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:18,160 Speaker 1: the federal government still has under the Controlled Substances Act 1036 01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:23,480 Speaker 1: under their first section of it, right Schedule one controlled 1037 01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:25,960 Speaker 1: substances marijuana is still on there, so it's still very 1038 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,080 Speaker 1: much illegal, but states are allowed. But you see, I 1039 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,120 Speaker 1: understand that this it starts to get a little confusing 1040 01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,720 Speaker 1: in this tangle of all these different laws. But you 1041 01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:34,720 Speaker 1: can understand how anybody to look at this would say, okay, 1042 01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:36,720 Speaker 1: so is the law just no longer a law when 1043 01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:40,920 Speaker 1: some people decide that it doesn't count anymore? Don't we 1044 01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,640 Speaker 1: have legislatures that are supposed to repeal things and mend things, 1045 01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:47,520 Speaker 1: change things. Is this just turning into Because what really 1046 01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:51,280 Speaker 1: separates America from a lot of other countries that have, 1047 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:57,080 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of natural resources, good weather? You 1048 01:01:57,160 --> 01:02:00,800 Speaker 1: know what exactly separates us from places? What separates us 1049 01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,600 Speaker 1: from most of Latin America, for example, that's a that's 1050 01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:08,400 Speaker 1: a good place to start. What separates America from Latin America. Well, 1051 01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,760 Speaker 1: we have rule of law. And anybody who spend any 1052 01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:13,840 Speaker 1: time in Mexico or a whole bunch of other countries 1053 01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:19,520 Speaker 1: in Central and South America would tell you very assuredly 1054 01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:23,760 Speaker 1: that rule of law in those countries is kind of 1055 01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,080 Speaker 1: a non existent to our barely existent. It's one of 1056 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,440 Speaker 1: the most important things that separates us from those countries, 1057 01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:34,040 Speaker 1: and it contributes to our security, our prosperity, you know, 1058 01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,840 Speaker 1: our our freedom. Rule of laws very much about freedom. 1059 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,960 Speaker 1: If you understand what the laws are in a country, 1060 01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:43,320 Speaker 1: you can operate accordingly, and you can have an expectation 1061 01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:47,320 Speaker 1: that your freedom will be respected and the state will 1062 01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:49,520 Speaker 1: protect your freedoms because you know what those laws are. 1063 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,120 Speaker 1: When it's just to kind of sometimes yes, sometimes know, 1064 01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 1: how can you even make a real determination about that? 1065 01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:03,760 Speaker 1: So while I understand the impulse from sheriff, look, you know, 1066 01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:05,200 Speaker 1: the other part of it is it's not even necessarily 1067 01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,240 Speaker 1: nullification of laws for sheriffs. Then it just turns into 1068 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,520 Speaker 1: prosecutor a form of prosecutorial discretion, which all law enforcement has. 1069 01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 1: You know, if a cop on the scene thinks, you know, 1070 01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:16,920 Speaker 1: if you were speeding, but a cop thinks that you know, 1071 01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:18,720 Speaker 1: you're actually trying to get your wife to the hospital, 1072 01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,680 Speaker 1: he has he has, He's completely within his rights to 1073 01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:24,240 Speaker 1: say I'm going to give you warning. You're welcome to go, right. 1074 01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,640 Speaker 1: I mean, ken a sheriff just say hey, you know 1075 01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:30,080 Speaker 1: I saw you at the range with you know, if 1076 01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:31,800 Speaker 1: this is sheriff pulls up the range to do a 1077 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:33,440 Speaker 1: you know, his own target practice, and I'm sure he 1078 01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,439 Speaker 1: has his own range. You get what I'm saying. See 1079 01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:38,080 Speaker 1: somebody in Virginia after with this law and effect, now 1080 01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm banning assault rifles assuming but they're trying to do 1081 01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:43,360 Speaker 1: this in the next sixty days. So it hasn't hasn't 1082 01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:45,280 Speaker 1: happened quite yet. That's why I can't give you that 1083 01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:48,560 Speaker 1: many specifics on exactly what's going on here. But if 1084 01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:50,480 Speaker 1: a sheriff see somebody can't just say, hey, buddy, be 1085 01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:52,440 Speaker 1: careful with that because you know it's technically illegal, but 1086 01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:54,880 Speaker 1: you know, take it home with you, don't worry about it. Yeah, 1087 01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,960 Speaker 1: of course, So is that is that a dangerous nullification 1088 01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:01,760 Speaker 1: of lall? No, it's not. But we need to understand 1089 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,280 Speaker 1: here that you have a Democrat impulse in a state 1090 01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,080 Speaker 1: where there are a lot of people that very much 1091 01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:11,280 Speaker 1: disagree with what is trying to be what they're trying 1092 01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:14,920 Speaker 1: to accomplish here, there's a Democrat impulse to make criminals 1093 01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:21,560 Speaker 1: of Republicans, to criminalize their Second Amendment rights, and to 1094 01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:25,000 Speaker 1: institutionalize as much as possible the furthest left parts of 1095 01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,960 Speaker 1: their agenda. And this is resulting in a state by 1096 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:32,120 Speaker 1: state polarization where there's you know, I keep talking about 1097 01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:34,360 Speaker 1: the eradication of good faith in the era of Trump 1098 01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,480 Speaker 1: in our politics. I really mean it. It's a real thing. 1099 01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:40,680 Speaker 1: You know, you can't trust that your fellow Americans who 1100 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:44,200 Speaker 1: are liberals or who are Democrats are willing to defend 1101 01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:47,880 Speaker 1: your free speech rights anymore? Because there's a really large 1102 01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:51,560 Speaker 1: movement within the left. I would say it's the dominant 1103 01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:55,440 Speaker 1: force in Democrat politics today to say no, sorry, certain 1104 01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:58,040 Speaker 1: things you can't Certain things are too mean, You're not 1105 01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:00,400 Speaker 1: allowed to say them, Certain things are too controvers know 1106 01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:04,000 Speaker 1: how to say them? In the Second Amendment? What do 1107 01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:07,120 Speaker 1: you if if the Bloomberg's of the world got their way. 1108 01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:11,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Bloomberg is very opposed to um guns. 1109 01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:16,280 Speaker 1: Um if they got their way, what exactly would what 1110 01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:18,120 Speaker 1: would you be allowed? You'd be allowed to maybe get 1111 01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,680 Speaker 1: a special permit to have a double barreled shotgun that 1112 01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:23,800 Speaker 1: you could use to go you know, sporting clay shooting. 1113 01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:28,680 Speaker 1: You know they go trap shooting sometime. That's that's the 1114 01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:30,440 Speaker 1: full extent. I mean, what would your Second Amendment rights 1115 01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:32,000 Speaker 1: really be? Oh yeah, you can defend your home with 1116 01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,440 Speaker 1: a double barreled shotguns. That's all you need. This is 1117 01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:39,680 Speaker 1: this is taking us down to a a scary place. 1118 01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:42,840 Speaker 1: What you're seeing in Virginia, if this is a harbinger 1119 01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:46,120 Speaker 1: of things to come, and other purple states across the 1120 01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:49,280 Speaker 1: country where Democrats have legislative control for a period of time. 1121 01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:51,200 Speaker 1: You know, it's one thing to pass aloll that says 1122 01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:53,920 Speaker 1: the tax rate the state tax is seven percent. No, 1123 01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:56,160 Speaker 1: it's actually nine percent, or it's eight percent. Okay, I 1124 01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:59,360 Speaker 1: mean you could switch that back and forth. But you're 1125 01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:01,680 Speaker 1: going to start going door to door and sending law 1126 01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:04,760 Speaker 1: enforcement to go arrest people for this. And if you're 1127 01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:06,680 Speaker 1: not going to do that, why would you ban assault rifles? 1128 01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:08,520 Speaker 1: What does that mean? You're just gonna ban new sale 1129 01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:13,360 Speaker 1: of assault rifles. There are I'm sure a few million 1130 01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,680 Speaker 1: assault rifles currently in circulation in Virginia. I even, I mean, 1131 01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:19,280 Speaker 1: I can't No one even really knows the number. So 1132 01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,640 Speaker 1: you're just going to make sure that everyone's and you're 1133 01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:23,440 Speaker 1: still gonna have legal sale of them in other in 1134 01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:26,600 Speaker 1: other states. So if possession of them is not illegal, 1135 01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:28,480 Speaker 1: and you're just going to ban new sales, you're just 1136 01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:31,000 Speaker 1: making it a lot more expensive for people to get 1137 01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:34,040 Speaker 1: in aar in Virginia. So if you're going to really 1138 01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:35,320 Speaker 1: try to get rid of them, you're gonna have to 1139 01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:37,320 Speaker 1: arrest people for them. You have to criminalize them. Are 1140 01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:39,880 Speaker 1: democrats at the state Legislature of Virginia willing to do that? 1141 01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:44,360 Speaker 1: In this crazy period we're in, it seems the answers, Yes, 1142 01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:50,720 Speaker 1: it's very troubling. It should put everybody on edge. You're 1143 01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:54,520 Speaker 1: in the freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 1144 01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:00,840 Speaker 1: During the run up to the passage of Obama President Obama, 1145 01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:03,000 Speaker 1: Prow's wife father that if he lies his plan, he 1146 01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:04,920 Speaker 1: can keep his plan, and that's insurance will be cheaper 1147 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,320 Speaker 1: after passage's planning his own allowed and it's insurance costs 1148 01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:10,840 Speaker 1: double since he supported the plan. Were he lying with 1149 01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,280 Speaker 1: my dad? Or did you not understand the ability's supported 1150 01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 1: the lion dog face pony shoulder. No. Look, there's two 1151 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:22,439 Speaker 1: ways people know when something is important. One when it's 1152 01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,720 Speaker 1: so clear when it's passed that everybody understands it. And 1153 01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,880 Speaker 1: no one didn't understand Obamacare, including the way it was 1154 01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 1: rolled out, and the gentleman's right. He said you could 1155 01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:32,920 Speaker 1: keep your doctor if you wanted to, and you couldn't 1156 01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,240 Speaker 1: keep your doctor if you wanted to. Necessarily he's dead 1157 01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:39,680 Speaker 1: right about that, you know. Joe Biden makes these two 1158 01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,680 Speaker 1: admissions here, and it's all you really have to know 1159 01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:44,120 Speaker 1: about the Democrats today is that this is this is 1160 01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,040 Speaker 1: their best This is the guy that they're putting up 1161 01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:48,600 Speaker 1: to set everything right and make everything great in this country. 1162 01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:54,320 Speaker 1: And Joe Biden's a buffoon, a buffoon, but he just 1163 01:07:54,400 --> 01:08:00,200 Speaker 1: kind of blithely in sousion in sousion lee, I don't 1164 01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,600 Speaker 1: know if that's really a word, but in sousion manner, 1165 01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,480 Speaker 1: it's a fancy French word for like cool as a cucumber. 1166 01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:11,439 Speaker 1: Says that nobody understood Obamacare when it was rolled out 1167 01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,919 Speaker 1: and you couldn't keep your plan. And I just want 1168 01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:19,000 Speaker 1: to point out that I was saying that at the time. 1169 01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:21,559 Speaker 1: Conservatives really across the board, we're saying this at the time, 1170 01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:26,719 Speaker 1: and what we were saying was absolutely true, and yet 1171 01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:30,280 Speaker 1: Democrats shouted us down, DemoGod the issue, ram it through 1172 01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:34,000 Speaker 1: and still pretend like Obamacare was was great. An Obamacare 1173 01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:38,839 Speaker 1: is effectively an expansion of Medicare, I'm sorry, an expansion 1174 01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:44,000 Speaker 1: of medicaid healthcare welfare in a whole bunch of states, 1175 01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:46,680 Speaker 1: which adds dramatically to the deficit, but that's what it is, 1176 01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:49,320 Speaker 1: and also then does a little bit of shifting where 1177 01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:50,840 Speaker 1: some people get a little bit of subsidy to have 1178 01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:53,479 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, not so great insurance, and other 1179 01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:56,720 Speaker 1: people don't get subsidies pay a little more, pay more 1180 01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:58,800 Speaker 1: than they should and are strained in order to try 1181 01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:01,639 Speaker 1: to pay the insurance. And this is what this did. 1182 01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:04,400 Speaker 1: We have this huge fight. Democrats just just did everything 1183 01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:09,760 Speaker 1: went to the mat used reconciliation kind of a budgetary 1184 01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,280 Speaker 1: maneuver that's not supposed to be meant for major legislation, 1185 01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:14,400 Speaker 1: to get the last piece of Obamacare, last parts of 1186 01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:20,519 Speaker 1: Obamacare through these budget reconciliation and all for what exactly 1187 01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:23,599 Speaker 1: I mean. Now we're still here. We are right, It's 1188 01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:27,639 Speaker 1: been three years since Obama, the Obama administration was in power, 1189 01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:30,120 Speaker 1: and we're talking about healthcare all and now we've got 1190 01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:33,200 Speaker 1: a whole new healthcare thing. You would think that maybe 1191 01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:35,880 Speaker 1: there could be some humility from the central planners as 1192 01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:37,800 Speaker 1: a result of this. Maybe they would take a moment 1193 01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:40,280 Speaker 1: to think, hold on a second. We thought we were 1194 01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:42,479 Speaker 1: these geniuses last time, We're going to figure this all out, 1195 01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:45,599 Speaker 1: and we completely messed the whole thing up. Maybe this 1196 01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:47,720 Speaker 1: time around we should have a little bit more of 1197 01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:51,080 Speaker 1: a collaborative approach with the people that have real concerns 1198 01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:55,280 Speaker 1: about this and try to make things better. You think 1199 01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:58,680 Speaker 1: that the fact that Joe Biden has to say you 1200 01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:00,599 Speaker 1: couldn't keep your plan even though we said you could 1201 01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:04,040 Speaker 1: keep your plan. That's a big deal because that was 1202 01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:08,320 Speaker 1: a huge part of getting the buy in, and it 1203 01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:10,280 Speaker 1: was never a particularly strong buying, but getting the buying 1204 01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,640 Speaker 1: the American people, they figure, Okay, this won't affect me 1205 01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:15,120 Speaker 1: that much in the individual market. I can I can 1206 01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:18,320 Speaker 1: keep my plan if I like my plan. And it 1207 01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:21,639 Speaker 1: turned out it was a big lie. Here's the problem 1208 01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:23,519 Speaker 1: I have with them. With a lot of problems with this, 1209 01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:25,000 Speaker 1: but here's one of the big problems I have, folks. 1210 01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:30,439 Speaker 1: Democrats never learn the lesson. They never learned the lesson. 1211 01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,240 Speaker 1: They refused to accept that We've run this experiment where 1212 01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:36,320 Speaker 1: they just did exactly what they wanted to do. It 1213 01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,000 Speaker 1: was all Democrats on a single Republican vote that exactly 1214 01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:42,559 Speaker 1: they wanted to do. They lied about what they were 1215 01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:45,000 Speaker 1: doing in order to get it done. Now Here we 1216 01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,320 Speaker 1: are of Democrats running what's their primary rallying cry against 1217 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:50,679 Speaker 1: Trump as a policy matter other than Trump as hitler. 1218 01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:57,200 Speaker 1: They want Medicare for all, or some vast expansion of Medicare, 1219 01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:02,599 Speaker 1: or you know, some enormous add onto Obamacare that would 1220 01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:07,640 Speaker 1: be maybe a public option. They never figure out that 1221 01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,600 Speaker 1: we've already seen. They don't have the ability to do 1222 01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:12,479 Speaker 1: what they think they can. They will mess things up. 1223 01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:14,320 Speaker 1: They will make your healthcare worse, they will make it 1224 01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:20,720 Speaker 1: more expensive, it guaranteed, and yet they never step back 1225 01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:22,559 Speaker 1: and say, hold on a second, maybe we should learn 1226 01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,200 Speaker 1: a lesson from how we've already messed this.

So some states are coming up with a 1230 01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:41,920 Speaker 1: whole bunch of these new progressive laws. California, though, is 1231 01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:46,280 Speaker 1: the laboratory of liberal insanity. As you know, California, which 1232 01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:47,560 Speaker 1: is I like to point out to you used to 1233 01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:52,240 Speaker 1: be a Republican stronghold, which people completely forget now when Gabel, 1234 01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:54,920 Speaker 1: we had you know, President Nixon, President Reagan. These came 1235 01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:59,519 Speaker 1: from California, the California political system. California was a red 1236 01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:05,840 Speaker 1: state until basically the nineties in presidential elections reliably read 1237 01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:10,760 Speaker 1: not every time, but usually. And now I mean it 1238 01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:14,920 Speaker 1: is the belly of the blue beast. I mean, California 1239 01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:19,880 Speaker 1: is liberalism distilled down to its most insane parts. By 1240 01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:21,080 Speaker 1: the way, I think I'm actually going to be in 1241 01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:22,960 Speaker 1: California in a couple of weeks, so I'll come back 1242 01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:26,240 Speaker 1: with some stories from the front lines of liberal insanity there. 1243 01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:28,639 Speaker 1: Although I'm New York City, which is basically as bad, 1244 01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:33,040 Speaker 1: we just have a slightly more capitalist outlook, I guess. 1245 01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:36,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not even sure we do. Actually 1246 01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:37,720 Speaker 1: in New York is probably in some ways as bad 1247 01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:41,439 Speaker 1: as California. We have Staten Island, though at least Republican 1248 01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:46,040 Speaker 1: stronghold of Staten Island. Yeah. But there's all kinds of 1249 01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,040 Speaker 1: new laws in California that are going into effects, some 1250 01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:52,479 Speaker 1: that will have a real, a real impact on things. 1251 01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:58,439 Speaker 1: And here is one, for example. This is just amazing, Prilla. 1252 01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:01,120 Speaker 1: Play a clip one, ducer Mark. This is a new 1253 01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,240 Speaker 1: water use law in California. Play one, all right, this one. 1254 01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how I feel about this. You're not 1255 01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:08,599 Speaker 1: going to be allowed to shower and do a load 1256 01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:12,360 Speaker 1: of laundry in the same day. I had the same misgivings. Um, 1257 01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:15,519 Speaker 1: doing a load of laundry takes about forty to fifty 1258 01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:18,519 Speaker 1: gallons of water. Taking a shower for about eight minutes 1259 01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:21,480 Speaker 1: takes about seventeen gallons of water. Well, there's a limitation 1260 01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:24,400 Speaker 1: on your daily use of water a fifty five gallons 1261 01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:26,800 Speaker 1: per day. So that means if you are taking a 1262 01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:28,880 Speaker 1: shower and doing a load of laundry, you can't do 1263 01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:32,000 Speaker 1: both without being in violation of the law. Um. There 1264 01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:35,280 Speaker 1: are some exceptions about this. There are some caveats. For instance, 1265 01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:37,800 Speaker 1: if you have a multi person household, if you have 1266 01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,040 Speaker 1: four people in your household, there are three people in household, 1267 01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:45,000 Speaker 1: that fifty five gallon limit per day applies for each person, 1268 01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:48,320 Speaker 1: so you could do a load of laundry. Um, if 1269 01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:57,080 Speaker 1: you have a multi person household, and okay, yeah, well 1270 01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:59,760 Speaker 1: you can actually see your your water uses on a 1271 01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:03,160 Speaker 1: day rate with your water meter a thousand dollars a day. Folks, 1272 01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:05,479 Speaker 1: if you were to take a shower and do a 1273 01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:08,599 Speaker 1: load of laundry in California as a single person, so 1274 01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:10,599 Speaker 1: I'll have more than fifty five gallons of water usage 1275 01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,639 Speaker 1: in that they estimate, and they already have these water 1276 01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:16,000 Speaker 1: you know, water meters set up. You're gonna see your 1277 01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:19,439 Speaker 1: water usage. This is what they've done. This is what 1278 01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:25,240 Speaker 1: liberal left wing socialist policy has done to a state 1279 01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:29,720 Speaker 1: that in many ways is the most blessed piece of 1280 01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:33,960 Speaker 1: land of you know, anywhere in the United States, California, 1281 01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:38,719 Speaker 1: the California coastline is incredible. It's gorgeous. It has amazing weather. 1282 01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:42,479 Speaker 1: And California has all these different climates. You get you know, 1283 01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:44,519 Speaker 1: you go up in the north San Francisco area, it's 1284 01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:46,519 Speaker 1: great for wine growing. Go down south you have like 1285 01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:50,320 Speaker 1: sunny weather. That's you can wear, you know, board shorts 1286 01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,519 Speaker 1: and a T shirt, ear round if you want, or 1287 01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:56,719 Speaker 1: socks with birkenstocks if you want to rocket, like producer 1288 01:14:56,720 --> 01:14:58,560 Speaker 1: Mark does do you do you ever do the socks? No, 1289 01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:00,840 Speaker 1: he just he's not like these and he's not on 1290 01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:02,639 Speaker 1: board for that. That was a thing for a while. 1291 01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:07,040 Speaker 1: People used to wear socks with birkenstocks to remember that hippies. 1292 01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:10,960 Speaker 1: So California is gonna start finding you a thousand dollars 1293 01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:13,840 Speaker 1: a day if you use too much water. You'd have 1294 01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:18,080 Speaker 1: to wonder why is there such a precarious condition for 1295 01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:19,960 Speaker 1: water usage in the state. Well, it's because a lot 1296 01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:21,840 Speaker 1: of it has to do with the management of water 1297 01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:25,479 Speaker 1: by the authorities. Thing just like they don't manage their forests, well, 1298 01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:27,880 Speaker 1: they don't manage their water. Well. You'd think a state 1299 01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:31,320 Speaker 1: where they're obsessed with environmentalism would be a little bit 1300 01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:33,000 Speaker 1: better at this. You'd think that a state where there's 1301 01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,759 Speaker 1: so many people that's been so much time, so much 1302 01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:40,000 Speaker 1: of their time thinking about all these issues would be 1303 01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:42,719 Speaker 1: in a position to be better at dealing with them. 1304 01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:47,040 Speaker 1: But that is sure enough not the case. That is 1305 01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:50,760 Speaker 1: not what ends up happening. They are not good at 1306 01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:54,240 Speaker 1: dealing with this at all because they take a statist, 1307 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:59,599 Speaker 1: collectivist approach to these issues, and they believe the looney 1308 01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:03,679 Speaker 1: climb change Left's rhetoric. They put it into action. Um, 1309 01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:05,679 Speaker 1: and here here's this. This was This was a local 1310 01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:07,880 Speaker 1: California TV station. They're having this and you can tell 1311 01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:09,760 Speaker 1: the anchors are like, wait, what this new law is 1312 01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:12,479 Speaker 1: going to effect in twenty twenty. Play clip two. Now 1313 01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:14,960 Speaker 1: there are actually fines available for this as well. Your 1314 01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:18,599 Speaker 1: your first your violation is one thousand dollars per each 1315 01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,519 Speaker 1: day that you're in violation. Wait, who made this a law. 1316 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:24,680 Speaker 1: Let's just let me talk to that. It's a state legislature. 1317 01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:27,280 Speaker 1: The governor signed this into effectos in effect January first. 1318 01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,400 Speaker 1: Now there's also another caveat. If we're in drought conditions 1319 01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:32,760 Speaker 1: and the governor declares an emergency, that fine can go 1320 01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:34,880 Speaker 1: up to ten thousand dollars to a day, so be careful. 1321 01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:38,599 Speaker 1: You know, you could change your word to serenity to anchor. Now, wow, 1322 01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:40,519 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to shower in twenty twenty. 1323 01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:42,639 Speaker 1: You know what, I'm gonna pick doing laundry ever, showering. 1324 01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:45,360 Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, I can smoke marijuana as 1325 01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:47,559 Speaker 1: much as I want, but I can't take a shower. Yeah, 1326 01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:52,880 Speaker 1: it's it's unbelievable. Yeah, absolutely, It's like, get smoked marijuana 1327 01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:54,880 Speaker 1: as much as I want, I can't take a shower. 1328 01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:59,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of true. That's California. The streets 1329 01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:03,320 Speaker 1: are governing FECs, the middle class is fleeing, the taxes 1330 01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:07,360 Speaker 1: are too high, the crime rate is rising. You can't 1331 01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:09,439 Speaker 1: take a shower, but you can smoke all the weeds 1332 01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:11,360 Speaker 1: you want. Well, I'm looking forward to my trip there 1333 01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:13,280 Speaker 1: and feelings I was gonna say, I'm heading out there, 1334 01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:17,360 Speaker 1: so I'll let you guys. And no plastic straws. I 1335 01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:20,519 Speaker 1: hate that. Do you know what the percentages of plastic 1336 01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,280 Speaker 1: in the oceans that comes from the United States, It's 1337 01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:27,200 Speaker 1: like less than two percent. We basically put nola. We 1338 01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:30,280 Speaker 1: have stopped using plastic in this country for things that 1339 01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:34,360 Speaker 1: are useful under the idea that we are somehow trying 1340 01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:37,160 Speaker 1: to stop like sea turtles from choking, which I like 1341 01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:40,040 Speaker 1: sea turtles don't with them a choke. But the plastic 1342 01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:42,040 Speaker 1: is not coming from us, you know. The plastic is 1343 01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:43,840 Speaker 1: coming from is actually a lot of it is driven 1344 01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:47,519 Speaker 1: by major river systems into the ocean. And those major 1345 01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:53,920 Speaker 1: river systems are in Asia and Africa. That is where 1346 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:57,720 Speaker 1: a vast majority of the plastic that is making its 1347 01:17:57,760 --> 01:17:59,679 Speaker 1: way in the oceans is coming from. Do you think 1348 01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:03,320 Speaker 1: are like, we're going to stop using plastic straws? This 1349 01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:05,479 Speaker 1: is what I mean. They don't. They don't think they're 1350 01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:09,920 Speaker 1: identify the problem, figure out the solution, see if the 1351 01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:12,280 Speaker 1: cost benefit analysis is worth it. They don't do this. 1352 01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:14,599 Speaker 1: They just go, oh, my gosh, there's a thing. And 1353 01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:18,080 Speaker 1: I have these preconceived notions about how I view the world, 1354 01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:20,439 Speaker 1: and then there's this problem. And I'm not going to 1355 01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:22,880 Speaker 1: look at whether the problem would actually even be addressed 1356 01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:25,439 Speaker 1: by the way I'm going to approach it. But it'll 1357 01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:27,839 Speaker 1: make me feel good because the problem is so scary. 1358 01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:30,559 Speaker 1: Climate change a perfect sample. It's but plastic in the oceans. 1359 01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:33,759 Speaker 1: Another one I tell them. I would tell libs, hey, 1360 01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:36,040 Speaker 1: you're not making things any better by doing this thing 1361 01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:38,040 Speaker 1: you're doing. And they would say, why do you want 1362 01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:40,559 Speaker 1: sea turtles to choke on plastic? And I'd say I don't. 1363 01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:44,080 Speaker 1: But they don't care. They don't care. There's no one is. 1364 01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:46,960 Speaker 1: It's getting harder and harder, folks. You know, I wish 1365 01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:48,639 Speaker 1: that there was even a place where you could have 1366 01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:53,600 Speaker 1: a reasonable, interesting debate with liberals on these issues. But 1367 01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:56,599 Speaker 1: you can anymore, because how do you debate with somebody who, 1368 01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:58,479 Speaker 1: when presenting with this, is just going to say, well, 1369 01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:04,120 Speaker 1: we have to show leadership. I mean liberalism today, progressivism 1370 01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:07,920 Speaker 1: is just drowning in its own sanctimony all the time, 1371 01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:11,880 Speaker 1: and it's just just as heaps of it, all of it. Oh, 1372 01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:15,559 Speaker 1: I'm so great, I'm so amazing. Why well it makes 1373 01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:17,240 Speaker 1: you so great and so amazing? Oh? Because I do 1374 01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:23,599 Speaker 1: these things that liberals do. Mmm, not good enough, not 1375 01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:26,920 Speaker 1: good enough. But then again they don't care because it 1376 01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:32,800 Speaker 1: feels so good. You're in the U. This is the 1377 01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:40,120 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. California's obviously got some very very 1378 01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,000 Speaker 1: bad ideas, but I wanted to just say that we're 1379 01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:45,240 Speaker 1: at the point now where maybe we should create a 1380 01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:48,240 Speaker 1: just a recurring segment on the show. Which is really 1381 01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:53,120 Speaker 1: bad ideas from Democrats running for president right now, like 1382 01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:55,920 Speaker 1: the things that they say that are not not just 1383 01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:57,479 Speaker 1: the things that are untrue run for it, but just 1384 01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:01,320 Speaker 1: the fact that they don't even really understand what the 1385 01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:04,920 Speaker 1: consequences would be of some of the things that they 1386 01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:12,200 Speaker 1: are very much pushing for. You have, for example, minimum 1387 01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:16,000 Speaker 1: wage is another great, a great example of this. Keep 1388 01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:19,440 Speaker 1: saying minimum wage is very popular, even conservatives or Republicans, 1389 01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:23,719 Speaker 1: you know, people like it. But minimum wage is something 1390 01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:27,760 Speaker 1: that does not work as advertised for most people. For 1391 01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:29,840 Speaker 1: some people, some people will make more money who are 1392 01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:32,759 Speaker 1: workers because of minimum wage. Some people have their hours 1393 01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:34,960 Speaker 1: cut back, some people will lose their jobs. Some people 1394 01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:38,760 Speaker 1: will have automation instituted that will either limit or cut 1395 01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:41,840 Speaker 1: back their arm. I mean, there's all these different ways 1396 01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:47,000 Speaker 1: of dealing with the imposition of cost via central planning, 1397 01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:51,720 Speaker 1: which is in fact what you have through the minimum wage. 1398 01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:57,400 Speaker 1: Senator Bernie Sanders does not care, and so he runs 1399 01:20:57,400 --> 01:21:00,760 Speaker 1: around saying that we need a what he calls a 1400 01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:06,360 Speaker 1: living minimum wage. Please play producer brand producer Mark, pardon me, 1401 01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:11,080 Speaker 1: clip eleven bottom line here is that we need a 1402 01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:14,679 Speaker 1: federal minimum wage for every state in this country, which 1403 01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:19,400 Speaker 1: is a living wage at least fifteen dollars an hour. Now, 1404 01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:22,400 Speaker 1: fifteen dollars an hour is not a lot of money, 1405 01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:24,840 Speaker 1: but it is better than seven and a quarter or 1406 01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:28,920 Speaker 1: nine or ten dollars an hour. Second thing we need 1407 01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:34,280 Speaker 1: to establish in America is that women must earn equal 1408 01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:39,479 Speaker 1: pay for equal work. All right, let's deal with both 1409 01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:44,519 Speaker 1: of these bad democrat ideas. Shall we equal pay for 1410 01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:50,040 Speaker 1: equal work? You have a fifteen dollars minimum wage? And 1411 01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:53,080 Speaker 1: we have to keep returning to this because people, it's 1412 01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:56,240 Speaker 1: I understand, there's an emotional So much of central planning, 1413 01:21:56,280 --> 01:21:59,360 Speaker 1: so much of socialism is push not by what works, 1414 01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:02,240 Speaker 1: but by what feels good or sounds good to people. 1415 01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:05,639 Speaker 1: And I understand why so many would say, look, can 1416 01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:07,240 Speaker 1: we get a little more money to people who are 1417 01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:09,840 Speaker 1: If you're working for in an hourly job, you know 1418 01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:12,000 Speaker 1: chances are I mean, yeah, there are people at law 1419 01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:13,760 Speaker 1: firms that are making eight hundred dollars an hour. Although 1420 01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:15,720 Speaker 1: usually they don't get to keep a big piece of that. 1421 01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:17,160 Speaker 1: They get to keep a small percentage of it. If 1422 01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:19,120 Speaker 1: they're working at a big firm. But usually if you're 1423 01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:23,439 Speaker 1: an hourly worker, tend not to be making a very 1424 01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:26,280 Speaker 1: high wage. And so you know, when you're talking about 1425 01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:29,639 Speaker 1: hourly workers, anybody who's making minimum wage, or rather who's 1426 01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:33,280 Speaker 1: affected by minimum wage legislation is going to be someone 1427 01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:36,640 Speaker 1: who benefits from this. And you want to help those people, right. 1428 01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:39,280 Speaker 1: You want people they're shown up doing a job, being productive, 1429 01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:41,360 Speaker 1: doing what they're supposed to do. You want them to 1430 01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:43,240 Speaker 1: have what they need and to be able to get ahead. 1431 01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:49,080 Speaker 1: Of course, getting ahead financially also involves decision making and 1432 01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:52,720 Speaker 1: planning and some degree of luck. These are all things 1433 01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:54,720 Speaker 1: that people don't talk about on the left. They just 1434 01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:57,120 Speaker 1: pretend that there's a way that we can all be 1435 01:22:57,200 --> 01:23:01,200 Speaker 1: living in some glorious future where there's no deprivation, there's 1436 01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:06,080 Speaker 1: no economic insecurity, there's no want or need that is 1437 01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:10,880 Speaker 1: not met by the dictates of the state. Fifteen dollar 1438 01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:15,439 Speaker 1: minimum wage, let's deal this one real quick. Why not thirty? 1439 01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:21,400 Speaker 1: Why not fifty? Because and then they would say, oh, 1440 01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:25,040 Speaker 1: that's absurd. It's say, okay, it's absurd. Why it's absurd 1441 01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:29,080 Speaker 1: Because at some point the cost is too high for 1442 01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:30,920 Speaker 1: the business to even be able to function at all. 1443 01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,599 Speaker 1: And so then you say, well, and I haven't even 1444 01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:36,840 Speaker 1: brought up how well, in some cases maybe they it'll 1445 01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:38,479 Speaker 1: be good for workers, But then you're just passing the 1446 01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:41,840 Speaker 1: costs on to the consumer. So I mean, the money 1447 01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:45,559 Speaker 1: is coming from somewhere, because ultimately the cost is the cost. Ultimately, 1448 01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:49,559 Speaker 1: the market has determined what the cost of labor is 1449 01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:51,719 Speaker 1: for a certain kind of job in a certain place. 1450 01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:55,640 Speaker 1: And you know, you're either going to accept that and 1451 01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:57,599 Speaker 1: let the market determine it, or you're going to make 1452 01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:00,720 Speaker 1: a determination external to those market forces, based upon what 1453 01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:05,759 Speaker 1: you think is fair, what you think is right, based 1454 01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:10,800 Speaker 1: upon you know, what people feel really, which is what 1455 01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:13,680 Speaker 1: this is. Bernie Sander fifteen dollars an hour. You know, 1456 01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:15,439 Speaker 1: that's just a number that he's picked out of out 1457 01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:17,760 Speaker 1: of the air. I mean, you could do this with 1458 01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:20,200 Speaker 1: any number of things. What would happen if you said, 1459 01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:23,599 Speaker 1: you know what, guys, let's just make let's just make 1460 01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:27,800 Speaker 1: all you know, you can't have a in a part, 1461 01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:32,120 Speaker 1: or you can't have a house that is you know, 1462 01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:35,400 Speaker 1: two bedrooms are less that cost more than one hundred 1463 01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:38,759 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Okay, well, in some places maybe that wouldn't 1464 01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:39,920 Speaker 1: be such a big deal. But in most places it 1465 01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:43,080 Speaker 1: will be a huge problem across the country. And what 1466 01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:45,719 Speaker 1: would happen if you set that artificial price for housing? 1467 01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:49,320 Speaker 1: You would have massive housing shortages. Builders wouldn't be able 1468 01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:50,679 Speaker 1: to you know, wouldn't be able to make a profit. 1469 01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:52,519 Speaker 1: They wouldn't be able you know, you get on the 1470 01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:55,959 Speaker 1: whole list. Right. There are all these There are forces 1471 01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:58,200 Speaker 1: that are at work beyond just the dictates of the 1472 01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:01,439 Speaker 1: government when it comes to decisions like this. And yet 1473 01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:07,280 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders pretends that it can just be a decision 1474 01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:09,160 Speaker 1: made by government in this way. Yeah, I'm not saying that. 1475 01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:11,320 Speaker 1: You know that they raise a minimum wage, everything, everything's 1476 01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:14,280 Speaker 1: gonna be catastrophic and then everyone's gonna go out of business. No, 1477 01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:18,160 Speaker 1: of course not. But there will be problems that come 1478 01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:20,560 Speaker 1: from this. And it doesn't also deal with some of 1479 01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:23,920 Speaker 1: the underlying issues of well if somebody, if someone's labor 1480 01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:28,280 Speaker 1: is worth seven fifty an hour and we start paying 1481 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:30,200 Speaker 1: them fifteen dollars an hour, it doesn't deal with you, well, 1482 01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:32,320 Speaker 1: what about the fact that labor is only worth seven 1483 01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:33,920 Speaker 1: dollars and fifty cents an hour? This is what pushes 1484 01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:36,680 Speaker 1: people to automation companies. I mean to automation. This is 1485 01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:39,800 Speaker 1: what has other forces that are at work that you 1486 01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:43,360 Speaker 1: don't necessarily see, just based on the take home pay 1487 01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:45,679 Speaker 1: of certain people that are affected by minum wage. Anyway, 1488 01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:48,559 Speaker 1: this is it's another one democrat idea. But people like 1489 01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:52,120 Speaker 1: this one minimum wage. You gotta have a minimum wage, 1490 01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:58,240 Speaker 1: all right, and then there's equal pay. I don't know 1491 01:25:58,280 --> 01:25:59,800 Speaker 1: how to really deal with this other than just say 1492 01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:04,559 Speaker 1: it's a lie. They know it's a lie. They don't care. 1493 01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:10,040 Speaker 1: They keep saying that, you know, equal pay is a 1494 01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:12,160 Speaker 1: problem that needs to be dealt with via legislation. They 1495 01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:16,280 Speaker 1: keep saying that equal pay is something that the government 1496 01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:18,920 Speaker 1: must take action on. The reality is that whenever you 1497 01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:21,479 Speaker 1: look at a study of this, whenever you see people 1498 01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:24,840 Speaker 1: really crunching the numbers, women are not paid less for 1499 01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:28,160 Speaker 1: doing the same work as men. That's just not how 1500 01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:34,639 Speaker 1: that's not how employment works. There's not the reality of 1501 01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:37,519 Speaker 1: the employment market. Because if you had, first of all, 1502 01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:39,800 Speaker 1: you have more women graduating from college right now, for example, 1503 01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:44,959 Speaker 1: and you do men. So there's already an enormous influx 1504 01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:47,759 Speaker 1: of college educated females into the workplace all across the country. 1505 01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:52,120 Speaker 1: If you line up the comparison, so that's apples to apples. 1506 01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:56,880 Speaker 1: You'll see that this just isn't there's no, it is 1507 01:26:56,880 --> 01:27:01,599 Speaker 1: not rooted in reality. But you can also just look 1508 01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:03,639 Speaker 1: at it and say, well, if I could save thirty percent, 1509 01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:05,240 Speaker 1: this is the quickest way, the same way that I 1510 01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:08,479 Speaker 1: know that climate change is nonsense, the way the Libs 1511 01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:10,439 Speaker 1: talk about it and set it up, because they're not 1512 01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:12,640 Speaker 1: going to sell me. They're not going to sell me 1513 01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:15,519 Speaker 1: a house in Malibu for a fraction of the cost 1514 01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:18,200 Speaker 1: right now because of climate change right on the beach, man, 1515 01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:21,320 Speaker 1: that water is gonna be rising really fast. If we're 1516 01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:23,680 Speaker 1: gonna be all dead or are starting in well, not 1517 01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:25,439 Speaker 1: all dead quite in twelve years, but if we're on 1518 01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:28,679 Speaker 1: a path to the eradication of the species in twelve years, 1519 01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:31,160 Speaker 1: that's not very long. You're gonna be along the coastline. 1520 01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:34,280 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a big problem. Right. No, when it 1521 01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:37,439 Speaker 1: comes down to it, when the truth of what they 1522 01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:41,120 Speaker 1: say is a disadvantage to them, they ignore what they 1523 01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:44,040 Speaker 1: are saying. When you take it to its logical lens, 1524 01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:46,160 Speaker 1: it no longer matters. With equal pay, you can have 1525 01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:51,639 Speaker 1: a similar experiment. All you do is say, okay, well, 1526 01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:54,360 Speaker 1: if I can save thirty percent of my labor costs. 1527 01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:58,080 Speaker 1: And I'm a aggressive capitalist, somebody who wants to make 1528 01:27:58,120 --> 01:27:59,479 Speaker 1: a lot of money, who wants my business to behind 1529 01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,360 Speaker 1: the effective. You know what I do. I just hire 1530 01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:05,280 Speaker 1: only women. They're doing the same work. It'd be great. 1531 01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:09,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I love producer Mark, but if we could 1532 01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:11,360 Speaker 1: cut thirty percent of the labor costs by getting somebody 1533 01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:14,880 Speaker 1: just who happens to be the female producer Mark to 1534 01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:18,280 Speaker 1: come in here, and we cut thirty percent of the salary, 1535 01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:21,120 Speaker 1: that would be a pretty enticing thing for executives. By 1536 01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:24,519 Speaker 1: the way, we Marquette, what would we call her? I'm 1537 01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:26,599 Speaker 1: not sure. Yeah, do I have to get a gender 1538 01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:29,479 Speaker 1: reassignment to keep my job? Now? I'm just telling you, 1539 01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:31,800 Speaker 1: man that if we could save thirty percent, you'd fire 1540 01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:34,160 Speaker 1: me in a second. I mean, I'm not saying I would, 1541 01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:37,120 Speaker 1: but somebody would. If we could save thirty percent on 1542 01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:39,680 Speaker 1: you you know, and it's true of me too. If 1543 01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:42,599 Speaker 1: they could have female Buck doing the radio show, same show, true, 1544 01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:45,840 Speaker 1: same host, same numbers, you know, same same sponsorships and 1545 01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:47,960 Speaker 1: money coming in the show, they say thirty percent, of 1546 01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:50,519 Speaker 1: course they would find you know, it would be crazy nuts. 1547 01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:53,320 Speaker 1: Just get a male or female worse than us us. Yeah, 1548 01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:55,479 Speaker 1: but people don't do this, And the reason they don't 1549 01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:58,559 Speaker 1: do this is because the underlying premise is not true. 1550 01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:00,960 Speaker 1: I don't like premise being that, you know, women are 1551 01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:03,640 Speaker 1: just paid less because they're women, because there's this patriarchy 1552 01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:06,639 Speaker 1: and all this stuff. But it's something that sounds good 1553 01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:09,479 Speaker 1: at Democrats, so they keep saying it even though the 1554 01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:12,360 Speaker 1: reality is not what they offer up. The reality is 1555 01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:16,559 Speaker 1: not what they say. And at some point, you know, 1556 01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:18,439 Speaker 1: we just have to look at this and say, when 1557 01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:21,400 Speaker 1: is when is the meeting? Was? When is the meeting? 1558 01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:22,960 Speaker 1: In the met is never gonna call them out of this. 1559 01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:27,160 Speaker 1: I'm never gonna say, oh, we we've finally, we finally 1560 01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:29,920 Speaker 1: figured out that we should stop being so dishonest about this. 1561 01:29:30,040 --> 01:29:32,479 Speaker 1: No, no no, no, of course, not because they have an agenda, folks. 1562 01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:36,559 Speaker 1: They're activists, not journalists.

I think this is about the same time 1590 01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:22,240 Speaker 1: the Greek Orthodox celebrate Christmas. Jane I had my I 1591 01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:24,439 Speaker 1: had a little mini Christmas tree, which some people say 1592 01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:26,200 Speaker 1: it might be sad, but it's not sacks. In New 1593 01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:27,840 Speaker 1: York City, you're in a mini apartment, you gotta have 1594 01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:30,519 Speaker 1: a mini Christmas tree. I had a mini tree. And 1595 01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:38,479 Speaker 1: the tree came down yesterday, so you know, I kept 1596 01:31:38,479 --> 01:31:40,280 Speaker 1: it for a while. I kept it into the New Year, 1597 01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:41,439 Speaker 1: but a little bit. But it started to get to 1598 01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:43,240 Speaker 1: the point where it was dried out and all the 1599 01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:46,600 Speaker 1: little um a little pine needles were falling off of 1600 01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:49,720 Speaker 1: it all over the place. So that's no fun. Can't 1601 01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,680 Speaker 1: can't have a messy a messy freedom hunt. So we 1602 01:31:52,720 --> 01:31:54,559 Speaker 1: had to get rid of it. But good, good things 1603 01:31:54,600 --> 01:32:00,280 Speaker 1: all around, good things, good things, Mike, Nancy Pelosi is 1604 01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:03,760 Speaker 1: going to sit on the impeachment paperwork until she knows 1605 01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:06,000 Speaker 1: for sure that Trump is going to win the election. 1606 01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:09,400 Speaker 1: Then she'll pull out the impeachment paperwork and attempt to 1607 01:32:09,439 --> 01:32:11,200 Speaker 1: keep him from serving another term. What do you think? 1608 01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:15,160 Speaker 1: Check out Memories of the Alhambra. It's on Netflix from 1609 01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:19,679 Speaker 1: Mike um Mike I don't know. I don't know if 1610 01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:26,799 Speaker 1: that's I gotta think about that a little bit. That's possible, 1611 01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:29,800 Speaker 1: It's possible. I think she look, I still obviously have 1612 01:32:29,880 --> 01:32:32,200 Speaker 1: made my made my bet, made my bed, so to speak. 1613 01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:34,200 Speaker 1: I think that she's going to have to transmit them 1614 01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:36,280 Speaker 1: at some point. I don't think she can trans meet them. 1615 01:32:36,280 --> 01:32:39,440 Speaker 1: It sounds like Vladimir trans meet this to Vladimir from Medvedev. 1616 01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:43,120 Speaker 1: It seems to me like she has no choice eventually. 1617 01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:47,080 Speaker 1: But maybe I'm wrong. Usually when I say that though 1618 01:32:47,120 --> 01:32:49,400 Speaker 1: I'm not as you guys know, so like the sort 1619 01:32:49,400 --> 01:32:51,320 Speaker 1: of false humility of maybe I'm wrong, it usually works 1620 01:32:51,320 --> 01:32:55,040 Speaker 1: out of my favor. Boo. Yeah, uh, let's see what 1621 01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:57,880 Speaker 1: we have next in the mix here, Oh in Alhambray. 1622 01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:00,439 Speaker 1: I'll check that out on Netflix, you know to do that. 1623 01:33:01,280 --> 01:33:05,559 Speaker 1: Kenneth south Front ran a story on the Ukrainian Armed 1624 01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:09,799 Speaker 1: Forces back in December. When the discussing the Javelin anti 1625 01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:13,240 Speaker 1: tank guided missiles, they stated that these have yet to 1626 01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:17,240 Speaker 1: be used in combat and seen to be held in reserve. Well, Kenneth, 1627 01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:21,639 Speaker 1: this has come up before they are held in reserve 1628 01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:25,559 Speaker 1: because now there's an understanding with the Russian with the 1629 01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:30,520 Speaker 1: Russian provision of armored personnel carriers and tanks and things 1630 01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:33,080 Speaker 1: that they will be destroyed if they are used in 1631 01:33:33,120 --> 01:33:37,120 Speaker 1: an offensive capacity. So it's kind of like the assurance 1632 01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:40,839 Speaker 1: of destruction from knowing that they have and can deploy 1633 01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:46,720 Speaker 1: these missiles to destroy armor has neutralized the advantage, the 1634 01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:51,840 Speaker 1: clear advantage that the Russian backed Ukrainian separatists had from 1635 01:33:51,880 --> 01:33:55,320 Speaker 1: having Russian provided armor, if that makes sense. So just 1636 01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:58,240 Speaker 1: knowing that they are there is a has now been 1637 01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:01,160 Speaker 1: an impediment to their use. So that has been highly 1638 01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:07,759 Speaker 1: highly effective in that regard. Let's see here we have 1639 01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:13,320 Speaker 1: Kyle Buck. I appreciate Joe Biden simply for the comparison 1640 01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:15,640 Speaker 1: he allows us to make look a President Trump is 1641 01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:18,960 Speaker 1: actually being impeached for basically nothing. Now imagine what actually 1642 01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:21,320 Speaker 1: happened was the FBI, on Trump's watch, used a false 1643 01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:24,479 Speaker 1: foreign source as a predicate to get a secret visor 1644 01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:28,280 Speaker 1: warrant to wiretap Hunter Biden's associates, and by virtue of 1645 01:34:28,280 --> 01:34:30,800 Speaker 1: the two hop rule, listening on Joe Biden himself, heads 1646 01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:34,040 Speaker 1: would explode. Great show is always merry Christmas, Thanks Kyle, 1647 01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:39,599 Speaker 1: and indeed appreciate your analysis on that one.

It's just Chinese foods that doesn't have 1691 01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:00,000 Speaker 1: But I can't think of anything Chinese food other than 1692 01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:04,080 Speaker 1: like general so chicken or something. Chinese food is all gluten. Like, 1693 01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:09,759 Speaker 1: it's all glutena soy sauce. Okay, So everything has either 1694 01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:12,760 Speaker 1: flour or soy sauce or both. A lot of it 1695 01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:15,280 Speaker 1: has both. But if you just replace the flour and 1696 01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:18,800 Speaker 1: replace the soy sauce, then like nothing in Chinese food 1697 01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:22,080 Speaker 1: has gluten because of the ingredients because rice rice is fine. 1698 01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:23,920 Speaker 1: I was thinking like chicken and brocoli, but I forgot 1699 01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:26,040 Speaker 1: about the soy sauce. Yeah, the soy sauce, and that's 1700 01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:29,280 Speaker 1: where you get nailed um. So yeah, all but tamari sauce. 1701 01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:31,840 Speaker 1: I've it tastes just like soy sauce. I cannot tell 1702 01:37:31,840 --> 01:37:33,680 Speaker 1: the difference. And that's all. You change that and you're 1703 01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:35,519 Speaker 1: good to go. It looks like soy sauce. Taste like 1704 01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:38,439 Speaker 1: soy sauce. People think that they're like they think gluten 1705 01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:40,679 Speaker 1: free is like fat free. Fat free is gross. Fat 1706 01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:42,760 Speaker 1: free food is bad when they take the fat out 1707 01:37:42,800 --> 01:37:45,040 Speaker 1: of food, very bad when they use fake sugar and 1708 01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:48,439 Speaker 1: things very bad.

But yeah, 1725 01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:39,720 Speaker 1: the program director is usually the one who determines what 1726 01:38:39,840 --> 01:38:42,479 Speaker 1: shows go where.

You know, we're just talking yesterday 1736 01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:15,360 Speaker 1: about bacon bar in New York and how bacon can 1737 01:39:15,360 --> 01:39:18,040 Speaker 1: even be mixed into ice cream. I have had at 1738 01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:22,640 Speaker 1: I think it was Voodoo Donut in Portland, Oregon. I 1739 01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:28,760 Speaker 1: had a maple glazed donut with bacon topping, which was 1740 01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:30,080 Speaker 1: and this is when I used to eat luten. This 1741 01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:32,040 Speaker 1: is right before I figured out I had Celiac disease. 1742 01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:35,400 Speaker 1: It was amazing. I will say so when it's when 1743 01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:37,720 Speaker 1: it's done properly, it's really good. I recently went to 1744 01:39:37,800 --> 01:39:40,519 Speaker 1: a Brazilian steakhouse and you know how they have like 1745 01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:44,000 Speaker 1: the salad bar, which isn't really salad. At a Brazilian steakhouse, 1746 01:39:44,040 --> 01:39:47,640 Speaker 1: they had maple glazed bacon. Oh yeah, it was. That's amazing. Oh, 1747 01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:51,920 Speaker 1: it's amazing. The best thing at the Trump International Hotel 1748 01:39:51,960 --> 01:39:55,240 Speaker 1: in DC, which is actually a great hotel. It's really nice. 1749 01:39:55,760 --> 01:40:00,519 Speaker 1: The best thing there is the bacon that they pull 1750 01:40:00,520 --> 01:40:02,360 Speaker 1: out and they have it hanging almost like on a 1751 01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:04,479 Speaker 1: clothes line, like you're getting your clothing to dry out 1752 01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:07,360 Speaker 1: back in the day. And they take a little flame gun, 1753 01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:11,280 Speaker 1: a little flamethrower like thing, and they in front of 1754 01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:14,880 Speaker 1: you they sort of flamed the bacon, um, I guess 1755 01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:16,840 Speaker 1: also known as cooking it. But no, there they flame 1756 01:40:16,880 --> 01:40:19,320 Speaker 1: it and it's already been glazed with some sweet sauce. 1757 01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:23,040 Speaker 1: It's worth the like twenty five bucks or whatever is 1758 01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:27,519 Speaker 1: expensive that is. That is not a cheap hotel. Roger, Right, 1759 01:40:27,520 --> 01:40:30,760 Speaker 1: it's looking forward another year, Buck, Roger.

The bull gets a score 1801 01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:38,280 Speaker 1: as well. What kind of reward does the bull get? Um, 1802 01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:40,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, actually that's a good question. But there 1803 01:42:40,800 --> 01:42:44,439 Speaker 1: are bulls that are like the most formidable of the bulls, 1804 01:42:44,479 --> 01:42:47,360 Speaker 1: So like do they advertise like see this bull and 1805 01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:50,280 Speaker 1: Madison Square guard. People know that the bulls have cool names, 1806 01:42:50,520 --> 01:42:53,759 Speaker 1: you know, and they there are bulls like horse racing, 1807 01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:55,760 Speaker 1: like you're going to Belmont to see a specific horse. Now, 1808 01:42:56,200 --> 01:42:59,360 Speaker 1: the horse is obviously the superstar, and the jockey no 1809 01:42:59,400 --> 01:43:02,519 Speaker 1: one knows. I we know the jockey's names really big 1810 01:43:02,520 --> 01:43:04,600 Speaker 1: into horse racing. People get I mean those are the 1811 01:43:04,600 --> 01:43:06,880 Speaker 1: only people, but people will know because the horses also 1812 01:43:06,920 --> 01:43:10,840 Speaker 1: get these cool names, like you know, I don't know Secretariat, 1813 01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:13,479 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, thank you for pulling one up there because 1814 01:43:13,479 --> 01:43:15,360 Speaker 1: I was blanking out. But they have cool would you 1815 01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:17,400 Speaker 1: recently had a triple crown winner? I could not tell 1816 01:43:17,400 --> 01:43:19,400 Speaker 1: you the name of it. The horse, Yeah, it would 1817 01:43:19,400 --> 01:43:20,719 Speaker 1: just be interesting to see, like what are the coolest 1818 01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:23,439 Speaker 1: names that the horses have happened? They're very cool names. Yeah, 1819 01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:25,479 Speaker 1: the bulls are. The riders are certainly more famous than 1820 01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:28,439 Speaker 1: the bulls are. But the bulls get a they get 1821 01:43:28,439 --> 01:43:30,920 Speaker 1: a score, and you know, there's a little bit also 1822 01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:33,760 Speaker 1: of like there there is a certain degree of risk 1823 01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:35,639 Speaker 1: and danger in this whole process too, and so when 1824 01:43:35,640 --> 01:43:39,040 Speaker 1: sometimes the people get the riders get stomped on. You know, 1825 01:43:39,040 --> 01:43:45,800 Speaker 1: there's a big background in of Brazilian riders. There's a 1826 01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:47,960 Speaker 1: lot of Brazilians in PBRs. I think it is interesting. 1827 01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:49,240 Speaker 1: They just have a culture of it there. I guess 1828 01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:51,840 Speaker 1: it's kind of the almost like I know, Gauchos are 1829 01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:56,479 Speaker 1: Argentine Argentine cowboys, but the gaucho and Brazilian version of 1830 01:43:56,479 --> 01:43:59,960 Speaker 1: that whatever it's called. Um, they have a big tradition 1831 01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:01,720 Speaker 1: it there. I did not know that. It's not just 1832 01:44:01,760 --> 01:44:04,479 Speaker 1: a texting.

That was, you know, I took a friend, 1849 01:44:48,640 --> 01:44:51,120 Speaker 1: I meant like dear Evan Hansen, you know, come from 1850 01:44:51,120 --> 01:44:53,880 Speaker 1: away stuff like that. Oh, like like what the prophisticated 1851 01:44:53,960 --> 01:44:56,240 Speaker 1: like fancy, Well, Mulan Rouge is on Broadway. Oh yeah, 1852 01:44:56,240 --> 01:44:58,240 Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about. Oh, it's the Broadway production 1853 01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:00,080 Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, oh yeah, I didn't. I didn't ow. 1854 01:45:00,439 --> 01:45:03,160 Speaker 1: I was like sitting there by myself taking notes. Seem 1855 01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:05,240 Speaker 1: if I lived in Manhattan, I would just be doing 1856 01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:07,360 Speaker 1: all the lotteries constantly and like just trying to win 1857 01:45:07,400 --> 01:45:09,600 Speaker 1: stuff so I could get cheap show. How do you 1858 01:45:09,640 --> 01:45:12,320 Speaker 1: do that? There's online services where you sign up online 1859 01:45:12,320 --> 01:45:14,360 Speaker 1: and if you win the lottery, you get an email 1860 01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:16,519 Speaker 1: and you got twenty dollars tickets or however. It's different 1861 01:45:16,520 --> 01:45:19,439 Speaker 1: for every show, but really like the Hamilton lottery is 1862 01:45:19,479 --> 01:45:23,879 Speaker 1: the cheapest but hardest to win. Huh. I haven't seen Hamilton. 1863 01:45:24,040 --> 01:45:25,479 Speaker 1: I haven't either. I kind of want to see it, 1864 01:45:25,520 --> 01:45:27,120 Speaker 1: just because I have a feeling that I may not 1865 01:45:27,240 --> 01:45:28,640 Speaker 1: like it, and I don't think you're gonna like it 1866 01:45:28,720 --> 01:45:30,800 Speaker 1: very much. I have a feeling I'm probably not going 1867 01:45:30,840 --> 01:45:33,440 Speaker 1: to be that just given all the hype around here. 1868 01:45:33,600 --> 01:45:36,639 Speaker 1: History buff so you would get the stuff you get it?

I mean, it's 1871 01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:44,240 Speaker 1: clever in some parts, but it was like, there's so 1872 01:45:44,320 --> 01:45:46,639 Speaker 1: much cursing. It was so profane. And I'm not somebody 1873 01:45:46,680 --> 01:45:49,639 Speaker 1: who you know, cursing like anything else. You know, it's 1874 01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:51,880 Speaker 1: like explosions in movies, Like I can handle some cursing. 1875 01:45:51,880 --> 01:45:54,200 Speaker 1: I can handle some explosions in movies. When every three 1876 01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:56,519 Speaker 1: seconds it's another boom bang boom, you know, it just 1877 01:45:56,600 --> 01:46:00,479 Speaker 1: turns into any come up, you know what you expected?
