WEBVTT - Libs Mourn Soleimani The Terrorist 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:15.160 You are entering the freedom hunt. Ran says, we will 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:18.280 pay for the strike on Kasum Solomani. Meanwhile, the media 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:22.400 is weeping many tears over the death of this terrorist. 0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:24.440 We'll also talk about the ways that Democrats are trying 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:29.000 to constrain President Trump's power as commander in chief. That 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:31.400 and more coming up on the Buck Sexon Show. This 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.280 is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:41.360 is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:45.600 no mistake American, Great, Great American Again the Buck Sexton 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:55.520 Show begins. No, you don't see anyone standing up for 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.400 I Ran. You're not hearing any of the golf members. 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.960 You're not hearing China, You're not hearing Russia. The only 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:06.319 ones that are mourning the loss of Solomoney or our 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:11.080 Democrat leaderships and our Democrat presidential candidates, no one else 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.720 in the world, because they knew that this man had 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.720 evil veins, they knew what he was capable of, and 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:20.679 they saw the destruction and the lives lost base from 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:24.800 his hands. Nikki Haley is totally spot on here. Welcome 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:29.760 to Buck Saxon Show. Everybody. I am somewhat a gas 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.520 I mean I always expect it from these democrats, so 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.479 I can't say that it's a surprise. But just because 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:40.840 you know it's coming from these leftist socialist loons, it 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.720 doesn't mean that it's any less jarring when you have 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:48.600 to see it. They're trying to find all these ways 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.320 to do a couple of things here, I mean, and 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:55.720 I want to walk you through the propaganda mill, and 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.560 I want to show you the machinery of what it 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.480 is that they're trying to accomplish with all this as 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:04.360 much as I can today. And one of the things 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.400 they're doing is making it seem as though the Iranian 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:14.480 people are all absolutely horrified at this united against the regime, 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.560 and that this was the killing of The killing of 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:23.200 Costam Solomani was like we killed Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.919 and Elvis Presley all at the same time. That's how 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.400 much they love this guy. That's how much the Iranian 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:34.840 people love Kastam Solimani. Do any of them stop to 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.840 think for a moment about what just happened in Iran 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:45.079 In the last six weeks or so, the Iranian regime 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:50.320 killed hundreds, perhaps a few thousand, murdered protesters in the 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:54.840 streets and for all the protesters murdered in the streets, 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:59.519 who are overwhelming the young people who hate this corrupt 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.640 sclow adic regime. For all of those people, there are 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:08.120 also those who are being extra judicially, which is kind 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.480 of in Iran. I mean, it's all extraally. It might 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.920 as well be extra judicial everything. But who are being 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:19.760 covertly taken from their families, homes and perhaps in the 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.040 middle of the night, tortured and maybe never seen again. 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.240 Because there are opponents of the regime that is happening 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:30.919 in Iran, you see, because the media was so desperate 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:36.360 to prop up the Obama administration's decision disastrous decision on Iran, 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:42.680 and because the media hates Trump so much, they are 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:47.560 willing to elevate the Iranian regime far out of the 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.320 axis of evil. Remember we used to call it a 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:55.680 member of that Iraq, Iran, North Korea. Only two left 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.840 in that axis, at least as they used to be constituted. 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.840 And it's worth sitting here and asking the question, well, 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:07.640 hold on a second, hold on a minute, would it 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.560 be normal in the eyes of the Democrats if let's 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:16.000 just say, hostilities became active with North Korea in some 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.200 third Party countries not in South Korea. And let's say 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:23.719 there's there's some North Korean backed insurgency in some country, 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:27.919 and a North Korean general was involved in the murder 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:32.359 of American soldiers trying to engage in peacekeeping operations stability 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:36.599 operations in that country, and that North Korean general was 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:41.200 then actively plotting another round of murder of American soldiers 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.320 in this country that North Korea is operating in, and 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.360 we took him out, would they then be saying, oh 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.800 my gosh, But the people of North Korea, they're all 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.920 weeping and staring into the cameras and crying. They're so 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:59.440 upset about this. It is so hard now for me 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.800 to separate out how much of what we are seeing 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.520 from our own media. This is their job, supposed to 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.960 be their calling, to bring us the truth, tell us 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.360 what's really happening in these places, that's what they're supposed 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:16.040 to do instead. I don't know if they are just 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:22.400 wildly dishonest hacks, if they're primarily driven by that, they're 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.560 propagandists entirely the Democrats they know what they're doing, or 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:28.719 and I don't know if this is more upsetting or 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:37.400 more concerning if they're deeply, deeply stupid people. It could 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.719 be either one, it could be both. It's most likely 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:45.760 a combination thereof for exhibit A today, and there could 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:54.080 be so many. I bring you Michael McFall now, those 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:55.839 of you who follow me on Twitter, no that I 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.040 don't hold back on Twitter, but I also I try 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:02.160 never to be personal about things that aren't an issue 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.280 of public concern, right. I never I don't make fun 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.520 of anyone, you know, I never make fun of anyone's appearance. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.839 I don't. I don't make jokes about you know, their 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.520 family members or anything. I mean, I I keep it 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.279 as on the subject matter as I can, and I 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.520 try not to ever act like a jerk on Twitter, 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.040 even though it's a great way to get attention. A 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:23.080 lot of conservatives actually do that. Michael McFall is someone 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.360 who is celebrated and still giving a tremendous amount of 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.720 credibility on the left. Oh, Rachel Matta will have him 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.599 on to talk Russia, Russia, Russia, you know, all these 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.520 different people, and he was really the architect of Obama's 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:41.200 Russia policy for a few years and is known as 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:42.839 a as a you know, a critic of Putin and 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.680 guys like Stanford, Stanford, Stanford, Oxford, Stanford. You know, a 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.400 stack of fancy degrees. I couldn't even fit them on 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.680 top of this desk. And also at some point I 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.320 have to wonder, you know, these people that spend so 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.920 much time in academia, how many years, how many years 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.200 just studying and not doing do you have to do? 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.000 You're not You're not a neurosurgeon here, you know. Maybe anyway, 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.200 you know, lots and lots of books and PhD research 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.760 and books and okay, and that can be great, maybe 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.080 because the ideas that you're supposed to achieve all that wisdom, 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:17.240 this is what our elites in the academia and journalism, journalism, 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.280 of course, I mean, come on, no one thinks journalists 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.160 are smart, but they like you to think that if 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.920 they have a certain kind of resume. Even though forget 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.440 about the fact that Trump went to Wharton, arguably the 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.800 best business school in the world, certainly the top three. 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.520 That George Bush went to Harvard Business School, arguably the best. 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:36.040 You know, those guys don't count. But the degrees and 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.480 the and the fancy titles that liberals have, you're supposed 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:45.560 to show deference. Ben Venee. Okay, McFall tweeted out last night, 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.080 and this just this just ticked me off. This is 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.720 the former and US ambassador to Russia who is treated 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:57.640 as a real foreign policy wise elder on the left. Okay, 0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:59.840 he's treated as somebody who's this is he is the 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.480 diplomatic establishment, if you will, He tweeted out, I do 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.720 not support many of Trump's policies, but if Iran killed 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:11.240 General Millie or Vice President Pence and then threatened to 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.280 destroy the Statue of Liberty or the Lincoln Memorial, I 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:18.120 would march passionately with Trump's supporters to denounce the Islamic 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:23.600 Republic of Iran. There's so much stupid in here that 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.880 I could spend the entire hour trying to just unpack 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:33.240 it is he he can't be serious. Vice President Pence 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:38.280 is Vice President Pence a uniformed military operating in a 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:46.239 theater of hostilities, designated as a terrorist, involved in covert 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:51.920 arming and training of globally designated terrorist organizations, and then 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:57.160 directing personally the maiming and murdering of US servicemen that 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:58.920 he is not at war with. By the way, Iran 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.080 has not declared war on United States, has been waging 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.000 war against US for decades now, it's just been a 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.199 one way war. You see, here's the genius of Trump. 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.199 I'm gonna I'm gonna just put this out there for everybody. 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:17.240 Trump doesn't like one way wars. He doesn't like the 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.439 one way trade war with China. He's like, I think 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.040 enough of this. I think we've suffered enough. I think 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.080 we as the good guys just allowing them to get 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.600 away with all this. We've had enough of that. So 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.880 he does something about it. And Trump comes in without 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:35.240 all the stack of fancy Stanford International Relations degrees and says, 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.040 hold on a second. We've been doing what we've been 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:45.240 doing in Iran for decades, really sanctions, angry diplomacy, sanctions, 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.280 but we always are a little hands off. Oh we don't. 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.080 We don't want to, We don't want to provoke the Iranians. Meanwhile, 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.000 the Iranians are provoking us day in and day out. 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:58.199 Finger in the eye. What are you gonna do about it, America? 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.600 And let's be serious, what have we really done about it? Well, 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.719 under the Obama administration, as though we were like an 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:08.559 Uber eats delivery service for cash, we showed up and 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.560 said here's here's billions and billions of dollars. And you 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.280 could keep your nuclear program, but we need to be 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.360 able to see what you got so far. You don't 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.720 have to dismantle. Let destroy it and prove that you 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:19.600 keep it the way it is, and then we'll let 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.400 you get rich, keep your terrorism going, keep your conventional 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.839 ballistic missile program going, do whatever you gotta do on 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:29.600 that stuff. Okay, fine, one way war with China on trade. 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:34.600 Trump says, no one way war with Iran throughout the 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:40.480 Middle East. Trump says, I don't think so. But instead 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.000 we have people like or on the other hand, we 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.200 have people like Michael McFall who are telling us that 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:51.040 you know, he's effectively taking the Iranian side of this argument. 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.760 This is, my friends, this is crazy. I mean, how 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:58.480 far removed is this really from saying, well, killing Abu 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.640 Bakhar al Baghdati, that's really going to destabilize the region, 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:05.040 because at least then there was somebody that the Syrians 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:08.760 and the Turks could talk to as the leader of ISIS. 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.720 And I mean, okay, you could say, buck, the Democrats 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:18.439 wouldn't do that. Really, really you're sure about that? I mean, 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:23.880 how far removed is this. Kasam Solamani is different in 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:27.920 that he is a known and named and uniformed service 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:32.319 member of a military that is part of the access 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.120 of evil and a the biggest state sponsor of terror 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:41.160 in the world. So that gives him a cloak of invincibility. 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:45.120 We're not. We're not, well, obviously not, but we were 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:50.160 supposed to accept that. I've got to tell you, there 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.440 are there are a few times when I just become 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.880 I just have to wonder how these people can look 0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:02.600 in the mirror sometimes. You know, you have journalists from 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.400 the most the most storied. I mean, these these pampered, overpaid, 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:12.720 pompous journalists at you know, CNN and ABC in these places, 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.560 and they're all look at the size of the of 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.600 the processions in the morning, and the oh my, the 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:22.640 Iranian people are also, how many of you have seen, 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.840 for example, reports from those same I mean, Martha Raddats 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:27.360 was over there. I was saying, you know, look at 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:31.160 the size of these protests. The Iranian people are all 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:35.800 united against us. Now, really, if you're Iranian, and you 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:37.720 know because you're one of you're part of that youth 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.680 bulge that I talked to you about yesterday. Because of 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.480 all the people that died because of the war that 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:45.400 did not need to be fought between Iraq and Iran, 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.160 the vicious stupidity of the Mulas in that war. Okay, 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:54.480 But if you happen to be a person who is 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.200 just mourning the loss of a family member, if you 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:03.920 happen to be a person who lost your father, your brother, 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.560 your sister, your mother in these protests, are you now 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.800 all of a sudden switching things around saying whoa hold 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:14.720 on a second, Yes, the regime is a totalitarian theocracy, 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:19.240 but they killed customs, sole money, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:23.480 and Elvis compared to compiled into one. I don't think so. 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:30.000 No critical questions being asked by the press here, no 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.520 honest attempt to get to hold on a moment. Are 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:38.400 Iranian school children being told that they have to show 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.439 up in protest? They're emptying out the school's kind of 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.959 like what democrats do here, of course, you know, climate change, 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:48.200 emptying out the school sending people on the streets, grabbing 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:51.000 people on the street, come join the protest or else. 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.960 Here's what you have to see from the reality of 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:02.800 the way our own press is treating this issue. They 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:09.040 are credulously covering Iranian state propaganda, which is what this is. 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:13.000 Protests that are done under threat of force are not 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:16.680 an expression of the will of the people. But they're 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.440 credulously covering this. Oh, we're just showing you man. We're 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:21.640 not you know, we're just showing you the facts here 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.720 and are in fact, willfully complicit in the propaganda of 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:30.400 a terrorist regime. This is our own press. They get 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:36.120 so huffy when Trump says that they are the enemies 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:39.360 of the people. I've been calling them the enemies of 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:43.360 truth for a long time because they are. How could 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.040 they How could they justify this? How can they not 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.440 start every report with these are very large protests. We 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:54.000 do have substantial reporting, firsthand reporting from people who are 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.600 telling us that these much of these protests are forced. 0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:00.520 And then even beyond that, for a second, why are 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.680 we supposed what exactly are they trying to achieve with this? 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:08.480 Why should we care how large the size of the protests? Sir, 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.520 I got news for you. If we took out Kim 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:13.720 Jong un tomorrow, and you have to make this North Korea, 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.240 by the way, North Korea run buddy, buddy, work together 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:20.560 on a whole lot of stuff. If if Kim Jong 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.000 un was taken out tomorrow, do you think that there 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:26.960 would be journalists all all upset covering and look at 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.240 the protests, Look at the people in this country. They're 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.040 so upset about the laws of Kim. And by the way, 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:33.360 there would be a lot of people who are upset 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:37.960 about it because they've been brainwashed. You have to ask 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:44.960 the question, whose side are these liberal, multi millionaire empty 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.360 suits in our media. Whose side are they on? What 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.840 exactly are they trying to convey with all of this. 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.080 We don't need them to stand there, you know, faces, 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.160 you know, ashen faced, all sad. Oh my gosh, look 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:01.880 at these protests. What's going to happen to now? They're 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:06.000 chanting death to America. Guess what Eugenius is. They've been 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:10.720 chanting death to America since before I was born, literally, 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:17.000 but not now. We're all supposed to be so scared 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.680 about this. Now we're all supposed to worry. Here's what 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.520 I'm scared about. What we see here is yet another 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:30.600 instance of our own press putting their anti Trump ferocity 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:36.560 ahead of the honest presentation of facts in their job, 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:41.080 and also doing things in such a way that you 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:42.600 do have to wonder. You do have to sort of 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:46.480 question some of their ideological loyalty. Do they think that 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.160 it is an Iranian general, is someone who works for 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:53.720 the Iranian regime in military uniform, engage in the activities 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:58.440 that Constam Solimani was really similar to General Millie is 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.800 really similar to our Chamber of the Joint Chiefs of 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.960 Staff or all these ridiculous comparisons you're hearing all the time. 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:07.760 So we're no better than the Iranians? Is that really 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.159 what the journalists were? No better than the Iranian regime? 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:14.080 That's what they think. You have to wonder. The answer 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:19.800 is yes, but it's particularly yes to the journals because 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:23.960 Trump is our president and so therefore this Trump regime 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:28.040 is every bit as terrifying and scary, and really more 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:30.840 so to them than anything the Mullus could ever. Do 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.760 we need a new media, folks, We need to tear 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:38.080 down their journalistic establishment as it exists right now and 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:42.120 build something new. If it wasn't clear before, it's certainly 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:44.000 clear now. But I think it's been clear for a 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:49.119 long time. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:56.240 Buck Sex and Show podcast. In just about every foreign 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:59.920 policy area of President Trump touches. We're worse so often 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.240 we were before he started with it. Looking at the 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:08.000 president's chaotic and rudderless foreign policy in hotspots around the globe, 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.080 it's hard to conclude that any of the situations are 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.960 better off than when the president took office three years ago. 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:20.879 His policy seemed to be characterized by erratic, impulsive, and 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:25.120 often egotistical behavior with little regard to a long term 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.120 strategy that would advance the interests of the United States. 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:31.120 It's Chuck Schumer talking about the Obama administration there, because 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:33.600 he should be. Let's get in the specifics here of 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.200 what Trump has done on the world stage so far. 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:40.400 Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:44.199 to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:48.480 you get your podcasts. All Right, I can't just let 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:53.879 this go. Democrats are out there pretending that Trump is 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:59.520 so bad on foreign policy. I notice how finn they 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:04.040 are on any supporting details. This should be easy to do. 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:06.840 I mean, if I were to point to, for example, 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:12.639 the Obama administration started twenty I'm sorry, started two thousand 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:16.200 and eight and end in twenty sixteen, and show them 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.880 it point to a country in the world that matters 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:24.720 to our geopolitical standing, international relations, trade, national security. You 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:26.720 name it, Point to an important country, not some like 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:28.680 you know, little country no one cares about. I'm sure 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:34.480 you know Obama's you know, diplomat did great work in 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:39.439 the in Micronesia or something. Who cares, but an important country. 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.280 By the Micronesia was in fact part of the Coalition 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:44.119 of the Willing back in the day. I'll never forget that. 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.000 It was not the Bush administration's finest moment. I think 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:52.640 they sent one guy, actually one guy. But the Obama administration, 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:57.480 whether it was Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia, China 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:02.119 worse in every singlecase, every single instance, we were And 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.240 now you have to also look at it based on 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.600 our position visa v. Those countries. I'm not just saying 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:09.680 that the country was worse. I don't know, I care 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:15.680 about our interests. It was worse. But Chuck Schumer, you're 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:18.520 saying that everything Trump does on foreign policy is wrong. 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:21.120 Really has he been wrong on China? Because our economy 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:23.200 is booming in China has had the worst economy it's 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:28.200 had in thirty years. I mean, it hasn't yet gotten 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.800 the grand bargain that Trump was hoping for on trade. 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:33.919 But they have gotten the beginnings of a phase one 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:36.960 trade deal, it seems, and at least they're doing something. 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:39.920 We're not just suffering in silence. One way trade war, 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:41.280 Trump says, no, no, now it's going to be a 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:45.959 two way trade war. And with the Iranians. People keep 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:49.239 assuming because they want to believe this, I mean, this 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:51.680 is the problem, because they want to believe everything Trump 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:55.680 does is terrible. Seemingly intelligent people all of a sudden 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:59.920 become utter morons because they insist their brain has been 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:04.439 condition to think that. Because Trump, who yeah, is blustery, 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:06.560 and you know it is a little loose with the 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:09.840 words sometimes, I mean, yeah, I get it, But I 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:13.160 look at what he does. I look at the essential 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:17.320 characteristics of how he uses the power of his office, 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:20.280 the decisions, the core decisions, the critical decisions he's been making. 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:24.240 I keep saying, I mean, this guy's certainly the best 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:29.520 president since Reagan, and he's making gains on Reagan's like 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:34.320 I mean, Reagan did, let's not forget to defeat the 0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:37.159 evil empire of the Soviet Union. But I mean trade Trump, 0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:40.080 give him four more years we'll see. I mean the 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:42.760 first I didn't even come into office thinking he was 0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:45.720 going to be as adept and have the kind of 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:48.159 results that he's had so far. It's not perfect. The border, 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:50.520 the wall, there are things that happened, But does anyone 0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:52.160 really think that perfect is going to be the way 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:55.880 that we would judge this. But going back to Chuck 0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:59.680 Schumer's statement, I just find it. I find it stunning 0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:05.280 that they are so willing to make total fools of 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:10.680 themselves here in their anti Trump zelotry. Oh wait, speaking 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:17.360 of making a complete fool of oneself, Bernie Sanders on 0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:21.800 oh guess what on CNN, which is the worst and 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:25.399 most dishonest of the propaganda networks, now on US Soil, 0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:29.960 CNN had on Anderson Cooper Show, the very serious show. 0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:32.720 You know that that's the real journalism. Stuff happened there. 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:39.360 Here's what Bernie Sanders said about the Trump decision. This 0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:41.159 is this You gotta hear this one. This is amazing 0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:43.560 play forty four. But this guy is you know, was 0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:47.679 as bad as he was an official of the Iranian government, 0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:50.800 and you unleash then if China does that, you know, 0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:53.720 if Russia does that, you know, Russia has been implicated 0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:58.119 on the Putin with assassinating dissonance. So once you're in 0:22:58.160 --> 0:23:01.960 the business of the Sassa nation, you unleash some very 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:07.680 very terrible forces. A couple of things here a truly 0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:11.480 idiotic comment from the number two guy in the polls 0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:14.600 for the Democrats. Right now, you're gonna make him commander 0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:19.879 in chief. What he says is absurd, he goes, He goes, Okay, 0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:25.560 So the guy was a uniformed Iranian so what so 0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:29.960 what does that mean that we could he show could 0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:32.919 he partake in an assassination plot on a US official 0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:35.200 in Iraq himself? But oh no, we can't touch him. Guys, 0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:40.720 uniformed Irani in general, where's the line? What? At what point? 0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:43.199 And this is what you have to ask you ask liberals. 0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:45.800 I mean, I know you guys already know this. At 0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:49.639 what point for the Libs would would cost him? Solimani 0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:53.399 be a legitimate target? Didn't him inside Iranian borders, not 0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:57.360 on his own soil, not in international territory, not at war, 0:23:57.560 --> 0:24:01.080 He's in a conflict zone, engage an active hostilities against 0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:03.720 the United States and its interests. Administration says there was 0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:07.800 an imminent threat to US personnel that he's directing. At 0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:10.200 what point are we allowed to hit this guy? Never? 0:24:11.200 --> 0:24:14.679 That's amazing? Do we do you think that we have that? 0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:17.000 Do they do the Iranians, as any country in the world, 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:20.959 would they allow somebody to be effectively the CIA director 0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:24.399 and a four star general at the same time and 0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:28.120 show up in a war zone and be engaged in 0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:32.960 active hostilities against another country and they be like, whoa 0:24:33.040 --> 0:24:38.000 hold on? A second American uniformed American uniform soldier. The 0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:42.280 Iranian regime wanted to kill the Saudi ambassador in DC 0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:45.320 at a fancy Italian restaurant that I actually happen to 0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:52.240 like in Georgetown, but the always wears a uniform of 0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:56.760 the Iranian regime. I mean, I'm just wondering, you know, 0:24:57.000 --> 0:25:00.119 if if back in the day, you know, one of know, 0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:03.760 if if Himmler ran out of the bunker with Hitler 0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:06.280 we've been I'm like, oh, this guy, this guy's a 0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:08.560 major player in the Nazi regime. We can you know, 0:25:08.600 --> 0:25:11.520 can't hit him with a bomb. We should have tried 0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:12.840 to bomb, and we tried to take them out as 0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:16.960 fast as we could. So I'm just trying to establish 0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:21.200 what exactly are the lines supposed to be, And why 0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:25.720 doesn't the media seem curious at all about what's really 0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:29.320 happened here, what the reality of the threat is. They 0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:31.640 just assume that Trump and the administration's line. They've already 0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:33.920 been saying this all administration stories, not straight, all the 0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:37.200 administration stories. They have so much more willingness to show 0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:40.080 opposition to their own government and think that they're being 0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:43.080 tough and being strong and being honest. That's what the 0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:45.720 journos do here. Really, they're just pandering to the left 0:25:45.760 --> 0:25:47.680 wing Trump haters in this country, who are just a 0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:49.720 bunch of morons at this point. I mean, you know, 0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:51.600 you can criticize Trump, but you can think that Trump 0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:54.160 does bad things, and he certainly is worthy of criticism 0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:55.840 in a lot of ways. But the people that have 0:25:55.920 --> 0:25:59.560 just embraced TDS Trump arrangement syndrome, can't even talk to 0:25:59.560 --> 0:26:02.480 them anymore. It's not even worth it everything Trump does. 0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:04.639 I had just I talked to a very you know, 0:26:04.760 --> 0:26:06.719 close friend and advisor recently. He said that he had 0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:08.679 lunch with a friend who was talking about how how 0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:10.639 terrible the Trump economy is, and you just want to 0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:12.119 want to throw your hands up in the air. And 0:26:12.240 --> 0:26:14.760 be like the biggest problem in the economy right now 0:26:14.800 --> 0:26:19.600 for anybody who understands anything in this country is is 0:26:19.600 --> 0:26:22.320 it sustainable? Can these good times last? By the way, 0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:25.040 It's probably not sustainable because of our dad. It's another conversation. 0:26:26.240 --> 0:26:29.240 But no serious person's walking around saying, oh, Trump economy 0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:34.159 is who? This is a tough one. Nobody thinks that. Okay, 0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:36.920 no honest person thinks that. A lot of Trump deranged 0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:44.560 loons do. And yet here we are. Bernie Sanders brings 0:26:44.680 --> 0:26:47.960 up on CNN's answer Cooper go, hold on a second, 0:26:48.280 --> 0:26:50.800 you know, Senator Sanders, that was really that was a 0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:53.560 little bit and and dig into this little more too. 0:26:53.800 --> 0:26:58.520 What does killing it? What does Russia killing dissidents have 0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:02.600 to do with this situation? Kasam Solimani is not a 0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:06.040 US citizen saying mean things about President Trump? How did 0:27:06.040 --> 0:27:09.840 he even make that comparison? Bernie Sanders isn't is a 0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:12.400 third tier intellect, my friends. This is what everyone needs 0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:14.840 to remember. This is not a very smart guy. He's 0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:18.880 been saying the same wrong, stupid stuff for over forty years. 0:27:18.920 --> 0:27:22.480 Never figured it out that never seemed to understand that 0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:25.520 the stuff he believes is bad and wrong. He's an 0:27:25.520 --> 0:27:29.560 old guy, not a lot of wisdom. But do you 0:27:29.560 --> 0:27:35.000 think if China and Russia thought that they had imminent 0:27:35.080 --> 0:27:39.200 danger to their own military or perhaps their own diplomats, 0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:41.879 or who knows what the target set was from a 0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:46.320 person who had orchestrated the killing of hundreds of their 0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:48.359 soldiers in a place where they weren't you think the 0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:51.800 Chinese the Russians would hesitate for a second to take 0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:55.280 that person out. The only way they might hesitate would 0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:58.880 be if it was a country that was considerably more 0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:00.760 powerful than them, and by the the only place where 0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:03.040 that would be the case would be US or each other, 0:28:03.080 --> 0:28:06.560 maybe China and Russia. They would they would do it 0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:09.240 in a second. You think they wouldn't take out in 0:28:09.240 --> 0:28:11.480 a running You think that Shiji and things like whoa, 0:28:12.200 --> 0:28:14.960 and they're going to kill a few hundred Chinese in 0:28:15.000 --> 0:28:17.320 a strike. But you know, cats, some soleimani wears a 0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:21.560 uniform so we can't hit him. He's absurd. But this 0:28:21.640 --> 0:28:22.879 is the this is what you're getting from the so 0:28:22.920 --> 0:28:25.040 called smarts that we're getting from the diplomats out there 0:28:25.200 --> 0:28:28.919 from the Obama administration. You know, there, Michael mcfasso that 0:28:28.960 --> 0:28:30.600 I blocked me because I said I called I didn't 0:28:30.600 --> 0:28:34.119 call him a name. I hear, what did I this 0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:37.960 just just to close the loop on this one, to 0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:42.960 use a DC phrase, um, I said to the guy. 0:28:42.960 --> 0:28:44.840 He so he said his thing about, you know, the 0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:47.760 dumb thing about how he doesn't support Trump but he 0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:50.440 would march with him if if the Iranians killed General 0:28:50.600 --> 0:28:53.920 I mean killed General Miller or Vice President Pence. I responded. 0:28:53.960 --> 0:28:56.160 The Obama administration pulled this guy out of the faculty 0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:59.880 lounge and made him the architect of Obama's failed Russia policy. 0:29:00.240 --> 0:29:02.239 That should be a reminder to all of us. No 0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:04.720 matter how many fancy degrees and government titles you have, 0:29:05.600 --> 0:29:07.520 it doesn't mean you know. You're asked from your elbow. 0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:11.480 I think that's totally fair. That's not name calling. The 0:29:11.520 --> 0:29:15.240 guy doesn't know one that body part from the other 0:29:15.240 --> 0:29:16.720 body part. I mean, I don't know what to say. 0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:19.640 I don't care how long, I don't care any book 0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:22.840 he's written, how many degrees you have, just just not 0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:25.200 that smart. I don't know what else to say. It's 0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:28.000 not possible to believe this, to make this comparison and 0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:31.360 be somebody who you should be deeply impressed by. It's 0:29:31.360 --> 0:29:35.920 just not feasible. It doesn't work that way. And so 0:29:36.800 --> 0:29:42.040 here we are. But of course they don't they don't believe. 0:29:42.400 --> 0:29:47.600 They don't believe what Trump has said. They don't believe it. 0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:50.400 I don't think that the commander in chief would even 0:29:50.440 --> 0:29:55.080 be honest with us about this one. And then they 0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:58.200 just continue to babble on about what they would do. 0:30:00.840 --> 0:30:03.840 You're in the Freedom hid this is the Buck Sexton 0:30:03.920 --> 0:30:10.360 Show podcast. Well, there's no question they're going to respond. 0:30:10.440 --> 0:30:13.240 There are lots of questions about how, But we have 0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:16.520 some questions to ask of our own president. Look, there 0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:20.040 is no question that Suleimany had American blood on his hands, 0:30:20.080 --> 0:30:22.440 that he was a bad actor in the region. But 0:30:22.600 --> 0:30:24.960 if there is anything that we have learned in the 0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:27.760 last twenty years about the Middle East, it's that taking 0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:31.040 out a bad guy is not necessarily a good idea. 0:30:31.120 --> 0:30:33.800 And what we've seen here is no evidence that there's 0:30:33.800 --> 0:30:37.840 been proper consultation with Congress, and more importantly and more dangerously, 0:30:38.280 --> 0:30:41.440 no evidence that they've really thought about the consequences. Right now, 0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:44.440 my mind is with the troops who are moving to 0:30:44.480 --> 0:30:47.640 the Middle East and having known what it's like to 0:30:47.720 --> 0:30:50.400 be in the inside of one of those airplanes. You 0:30:50.520 --> 0:30:53.120 need to be able to trust that everybody up your 0:30:53.200 --> 0:30:57.720 chain of command has fought through what's ahead, and we're 0:30:57.760 --> 0:31:01.479 just not seeing a lot of indications of that. Taking 0:31:01.480 --> 0:31:04.880 out a bad guy is not necessarily a good idea. Gee, 0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:08.280 I'm so glad we have Rhodes scholar mayor Pete here. 0:31:08.680 --> 0:31:10.880 By the way, McFall is also a rhodescholar. I keep 0:31:10.880 --> 0:31:14.280 telling Rhodes scholars are generally just people that are kiss 0:31:14.360 --> 0:31:16.520 ups and do whatever they gotta do to get the 0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:18.080 Rhodes give all. I know a lot of friends, a 0:31:18.080 --> 0:31:19.959 lot of people that are RhoD scholars who Bill Clinton 0:31:20.080 --> 0:31:22.400 was a Rhodes scholar, Rachel Matta was a Rhodes scholar. 0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:26.960 Oh man, it's a very politicized process. But that's a 0:31:26.960 --> 0:31:29.040 whole other thing. How could you even tell one school 0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:31.040 another school. Everyone's getting straight a's at all these schools 0:31:31.040 --> 0:31:33.200 because everyone gets as because once you get into these 0:31:33.200 --> 0:31:35.840 elite institutions, they just they just push you through with, oh, 0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:37.880 look at us smart. Everybody is from here. But if 0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:40.960 everybody's that smart, how smart is anybody really? Right? These 0:31:40.960 --> 0:31:43.200 places are a joke. At Yale, the little cry babies 0:31:43.240 --> 0:31:45.120 can't even hear ideas they don't like. They can't hand 0:31:45.120 --> 0:31:48.320 to watching Toddler's walk around in you know, a Pocahona's 0:31:48.360 --> 0:31:52.080 costume because it's so offensive and yeah, here we are, 0:31:54.960 --> 0:31:57.560 may or Pete doesn't have any solutions, doesn't have any answers, 0:31:57.640 --> 0:32:00.560 just knows that they can't think this is the right 0:32:00.600 --> 0:32:02.520 move because Trump did it. That's all that you have 0:32:02.560 --> 0:32:06.320 to know about it. The media can't take a critical 0:32:06.400 --> 0:32:11.720 view of the Iranian regimes forced demonstrations out in the streets, 0:32:11.760 --> 0:32:14.680 and also even if even if they weren't forced at all, Okay, 0:32:15.760 --> 0:32:18.520 the Iranians don't have a free press, the people don't 0:32:18.560 --> 0:32:21.280 have the right of assembly, don't have the right to organize. 0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:26.520 So is public sentiment and its totalitarianism is not something 0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:29.520 that I get particularly weepy about because the people are 0:32:29.520 --> 0:32:33.040 being brainwashed at the end of a bayonet. Does the 0:32:33.080 --> 0:32:35.000 media ever think about this, They ever take any time 0:32:35.040 --> 0:32:38.920 to consider the reality of and of course not too busy, 0:32:38.960 --> 0:32:42.440 you know, making sure that their hair looks perfect. They're 0:32:42.480 --> 0:32:46.040 gonna get invited to, you know, fancy party at Richard 0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:52.440 Branson's private island or whatever it's really it has been 0:32:52.440 --> 0:32:56.360 an amazing circumstance here to see what the But the 0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:58.280 good news for the Democrats is that as dumb as 0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:02.280 they look talking about this issue, which I think a 0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:04.160 part of this that gets lost is the need to 0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:09.600 re establish deterrence as a real thing that has come 0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:13.040 back into the four. Maybe that changes the calculation on 0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:17.240 the Iranian side. Maybe all of a sudden they'll realize, okay, 0:33:17.280 --> 0:33:21.640 we're not going to that that there's not immunity for 0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:25.480 actions against us through proxies. That's been the sort of 0:33:25.840 --> 0:33:31.080 the secret sauce of the Iranian anti US action for 0:33:31.160 --> 0:33:35.320 the last however many years now decades. If they if 0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:38.560 an Iranian military officer isn't the one who pulls the trigger, 0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:41.840 if he just gives the terrorists that he has trained 0:33:41.880 --> 0:33:44.880 and funded and directed to go kill somebody the gun, 0:33:45.600 --> 0:33:47.040 we're not gonna go. You know, I want to touch 0:33:47.040 --> 0:33:49.760 the Cama's with Iran. They're so scary. Iran is a 0:33:49.760 --> 0:33:53.600 little timpot dictatorship run by Mulla's with a tiny little economy. 0:33:53.840 --> 0:33:57.080 It's it's running out of foreign currency reserves. We could 0:33:57.320 --> 0:33:59.800 we could annihilate their infrastructure if we wanted to, and 0:34:00.160 --> 0:34:01.760 I'm not saying we should. But I mean, let's get 0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:04.680 real here, walking around, Oh what are we gonna do 0:34:05.520 --> 0:34:07.760 and blowing up a bunch of stuff in Iran if 0:34:07.800 --> 0:34:09.360 we have to do in retaliation for whatever they do 0:34:09.400 --> 0:34:11.279 to us, doesn't mean we're doesn't mean we're going to war. 0:34:11.400 --> 0:34:13.200 We're already in a state of war with the Iranians. 0:34:13.320 --> 0:34:15.960 You know. You know what keeps the Iranians from engaging 0:34:16.000 --> 0:34:19.040 in a mass casualty terror attack not any sense of 0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:22.000 morality or international law or anything else. The only thing 0:34:22.040 --> 0:34:26.160 that stops Iran from killing a lot of Americans and 0:34:26.239 --> 0:34:31.239 including American civilians anywhere in the world is the implied 0:34:31.400 --> 0:34:34.080 threat from the United States that we will crush them 0:34:34.080 --> 0:34:37.359 in response. That's the only thing they would if they 0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:39.480 thought they could do it and it was in their interests. 0:34:39.480 --> 0:34:42.880 They do it in a heartbeat. This is an evil regime. 0:34:42.920 --> 0:34:46.320 The people who run this country. They hang people from cranes, 0:34:46.560 --> 0:34:49.800 They murder gaze. Does the media forget all of this stuff? 0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:53.279 Oh no, they're going to compare Kasam Samani is you know, 0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:54.960 just like our own, Just like our own Chamber of 0:34:54.960 --> 0:34:58.600 the Joint Chiefs of Staff, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and 0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:03.960 Elvis all at Once and producer Mark's favorite baseball player, 0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:07.279 Jude 'maggio. I don't know whoever the most of all time? 0:35:07.440 --> 0:35:10.560 Is that right? Something like that? All all the same? 0:35:11.120 --> 0:35:15.240 Is he the greatest ever? Babe Ruth? Babe Ruth? Probably Okay, yeah, 0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:19.480 Babe Ruth, Elvis, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, all in one, 0:35:19.719 --> 0:35:22.279 Kassam Sulamani, How could we ever have touched this amazing person? 0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:24.560 That's the that's the premise you get from the media. 0:35:24.800 --> 0:35:28.919 He's just like one of ours, really, don't I don't 0:35:28.920 --> 0:35:32.080 think so. Of my friends, I don't think so. Um, 0:35:32.680 --> 0:35:37.239 and I have lost my patience for dealing with the 0:35:37.280 --> 0:35:40.640 dishonesty and the stupidity of those in the mainstream media. UM. 0:35:40.840 --> 0:35:44.879 I no longer just vehemently disagree with them. I think 0:35:44.920 --> 0:35:47.600 they are worthy of contempt and disrespect in many cases, 0:35:47.760 --> 0:35:50.120 and I don't say that lightly. That's where we are 0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:51.759 now on this Iran thing, just like it's where we 0:35:51.760 --> 0:35:54.640 were on the cabin all thing too. Thanks for listening 0:35:54.640 --> 0:35:58.080 to the Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on 0:35:58.120 --> 0:36:01.279 Apple podcast, the I heart rate app, befoor, wherever you 0:36:01.320 --> 0:36:07.160 get your podcasts. There's a really important cultural dynamic playing out. 0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:10.120 Political dynamic playing out as well across the country right 0:36:10.120 --> 0:36:12.960 now that you're not hearing very much about that, I 0:36:12.960 --> 0:36:15.240 want to spend some time talking to you about today, 0:36:16.080 --> 0:36:21.400 and it has to do with the polarization of states 0:36:22.280 --> 0:36:26.200 right where we increasingly now have states that are single 0:36:26.239 --> 0:36:29.399 party strongholds. We'll talk more about California later on in 0:36:29.440 --> 0:36:32.479 the show today, but there are these states out there 0:36:33.160 --> 0:36:36.399 where they've decided that they're just going to forget about 0:36:36.400 --> 0:36:40.760 the fact that they have many, right a large percentage 0:36:40.800 --> 0:36:43.240 of residents who would not agree with a certain action. 0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:49.000 They're going to enact deeply progressive, left wing policies where 0:36:49.000 --> 0:36:51.799 they can. And you've seen a little bit of this 0:36:52.680 --> 0:36:56.160 in red strongholds recently, but really just around some issues 0:36:56.239 --> 0:37:00.480 like you know, trying to restrict abortion, which would be 0:37:00.880 --> 0:37:04.359 a good thing for humanity, but nonetheless there have been 0:37:04.400 --> 0:37:08.160 these these efforts that are ramping up. I've seen him 0:37:08.160 --> 0:37:11.120 particularly in a lot of these blue states, because you've 0:37:11.120 --> 0:37:13.400 had over the last three years while Trump's in office, 0:37:13.520 --> 0:37:18.640 four hundred state lawmaker seats that were held by Republicans 0:37:19.719 --> 0:37:23.920 have gone to Democrats. So this also occurred. Would I 0:37:23.920 --> 0:37:27.399 would have you remember this occurred during the Obama years 0:37:27.400 --> 0:37:30.960 in the other direction, where Obama he was very popular 0:37:31.080 --> 0:37:33.239 and he did very well as president. Of course, won 0:37:33.239 --> 0:37:36.600 eight years in office, very popular Democrats, not very popular 0:37:36.640 --> 0:37:39.440 with Republicans, but he won big, big electoral victories both 0:37:39.440 --> 0:37:43.560 times around. Well, people forget is that he also presided 0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:48.759 over a Democrat party that was that lost power in Congress, 0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:51.680 and you know, he lost control of the House the 0:37:51.719 --> 0:37:55.239 Tea Party wave in twenty ten, then lost control later on. 0:37:55.400 --> 0:37:58.800 The Democrats lost control of the Senate, and all along 0:37:58.840 --> 0:38:04.399 there were enormous losses, enormous losses having to do with 0:38:05.360 --> 0:38:08.759 the state legislatures where Republicans were control a lot of 0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:12.600 the state legislatures. Now, this is very, very important for 0:38:12.760 --> 0:38:14.400 a whole bunch of reasons. One of them, though I 0:38:14.560 --> 0:38:17.200 wanted to get this out right away, is that in 0:38:17.239 --> 0:38:21.239 twenty twenty, there'll be many states that are up for 0:38:22.920 --> 0:38:29.320 their districting. Redistricting they determine what the congressional congressional districts are. Democrats, 0:38:29.360 --> 0:38:31.879 as they tend to do, have been fighting this when 0:38:31.880 --> 0:38:34.520 they don't like the outcome. When they don't like the outcome, 0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:36.640 the process is suspect. When they do like the outcome. 0:38:36.680 --> 0:38:40.160 The process is sacrosanct. That's how they approach everything, right. 0:38:40.560 --> 0:38:45.200 But it's certainly the case with districting and redistricting or 0:38:45.239 --> 0:38:48.640 I keep using those two words meaning the same thing. Um, 0:38:49.080 --> 0:38:51.239 you know, there have been some court challenges. Virginia is 0:38:51.239 --> 0:38:54.600 a very good example of this, where they say, sorry, 0:38:55.040 --> 0:38:58.080 you're not allowed to do that in this way in 0:38:58.080 --> 0:39:00.960 this district. It's it's two favorable for the side that 0:39:01.000 --> 0:39:03.959 I don't like. That's the only real standard, because any 0:39:03.960 --> 0:39:07.080 congressional district is inherent. It's like drawing the borders of 0:39:07.080 --> 0:39:10.399 a country on a map. What should the border between 0:39:10.400 --> 0:39:13.600 the US and Canada really be? Well, kind of just 0:39:13.680 --> 0:39:17.040 some people in charge had a map and they drew 0:39:17.040 --> 0:39:18.960 a line on a map, and that's kind of what happens. 0:39:19.280 --> 0:39:23.680 That's it. There's no Yeah, sometimes you have some natural barriers, 0:39:23.719 --> 0:39:25.520 you know, the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean. Those are 0:39:25.520 --> 0:39:27.640 our borders with Europe and Asia respectively. I mean there's 0:39:27.680 --> 0:39:30.360 something the Rio grand is kind of a border, but 0:39:30.440 --> 0:39:34.840 not really. You have some areas where there's a natural border, 0:39:34.840 --> 0:39:36.919 but usually it's just lines on a map. That's true 0:39:36.920 --> 0:39:40.920 of congressional districts, and so what you have now are 0:39:40.960 --> 0:39:43.279 Democrats who are very upset, and they keep saying that 0:39:43.320 --> 0:39:47.200 it's cheating, it's unfair because Republicans have drawn districts that 0:39:47.680 --> 0:39:53.239 are more favorable to their political prospects. Then I guess 0:39:53.239 --> 0:39:55.799 what the Democrats would want. By the way, we all 0:39:55.840 --> 0:39:57.600 know that everyone who complains about that now and any 0:39:57.719 --> 0:40:01.640 judge who even in a state like Virginia would overrule 0:40:01.719 --> 0:40:06.040 that as has happened. They do that, And I think 0:40:06.040 --> 0:40:09.920 we all know that if it were advantaging Democrats and 0:40:09.960 --> 0:40:13.520 disadvantaging Republicans, then all of a sudden, the districts are fine, 0:40:13.920 --> 0:40:16.359 no problem, Hey, what are you gonna do? It's all 0:40:16.440 --> 0:40:18.279 kind of subjective, you know, they would. This is what 0:40:18.680 --> 0:40:23.239 the root the foundation of liberalism today is hypocrisy and 0:40:23.320 --> 0:40:25.520 double standard. Right though, those are the two the twin 0:40:25.560 --> 0:40:32.200 pillars of contemporary Democrat liberalism socialism, hypocrisy and double standards 0:40:32.280 --> 0:40:37.479 all across the board. But the Democrats have flipped eight 0:40:37.640 --> 0:40:43.000 legislative chambers just since twenty eighteen, and they have both 0:40:43.120 --> 0:40:49.360 chambers in nineteen states. Virginia is the most you know, 0:40:49.400 --> 0:40:52.920 the most most sort of battleground focus one because Virginia 0:40:53.040 --> 0:40:54.640 is a state with a lot of Republicans and a 0:40:54.640 --> 0:40:57.239 lot of Democrats. It's a purple state that I think, 0:40:57.320 --> 0:41:01.560 unfortunately is now. I think Virginia is a blue state 0:41:01.600 --> 0:41:03.880 for presidential election purposes, and I don't think it's going 0:41:03.920 --> 0:41:08.960 to change anytime soon. It's really become dominated by the 0:41:09.080 --> 0:41:15.560 expansion of DC suburbs, notably Arlington, Virginia and Loudon County 0:41:15.600 --> 0:41:18.080 and all these other counties that are in Virginia that 0:41:18.120 --> 0:41:21.760 are very, very wealthy by the way, but these different 0:41:21.760 --> 0:41:27.880 Fairfax County they've become huge population centers and they have 0:41:28.000 --> 0:41:32.839 a big sway on Virginia going blue. And so now 0:41:32.880 --> 0:41:36.000 they're trying to push all this legislation through where they 0:41:36.400 --> 0:41:39.080 want to. They call it expanding voting access, which is 0:41:39.080 --> 0:41:41.000 always a very vague. What do they call it expanding 0:41:41.080 --> 0:41:45.080 voting access? I mean you should not be able to 0:41:45.120 --> 0:41:46.960 voteor you shouldn't be able to vote. Why are how 0:41:47.000 --> 0:41:49.080 are they expanding voting access? Oh, we'll get into some 0:41:49.120 --> 0:41:53.879 of this, putting in protection state protections for abortion rights. 0:41:53.960 --> 0:41:57.560 Keep in mind, I think it was Jeffrey Tubin, who 0:41:57.640 --> 0:42:01.600 is CNN's chief legal analyst, who was a garbage legal analyst. 0:42:01.640 --> 0:42:03.680 I mean not good. You would not want this guy. 0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:05.520 You would rather if you were being held in a 0:42:05.560 --> 0:42:07.520 prison in Alabama for a murder you did not commit, 0:42:08.320 --> 0:42:10.439 you would rather not just have my cousin Vinnie. You'd 0:42:10.560 --> 0:42:13.640 rather actually have Joe Peshi, all five foot two of 0:42:13.680 --> 0:42:17.120 him defending your rights and trying to keep you out 0:42:17.160 --> 0:42:18.719 of prison. Then I think you would have Jeffrey tub 0:42:18.800 --> 0:42:22.640 And Jeffrey Tuban had some tweet that after Kavanaugh was 0:42:22.719 --> 0:42:27.080 in After Kavanaugh was confirmed, he tweeted out that their 0:42:27.160 --> 0:42:29.440 abortion will be illegal in like a dozen states or 0:42:29.480 --> 0:42:31.480 something within eighteen months, And it had been. It was 0:42:31.520 --> 0:42:35.640 eighteen months last month, and abortion is illegal statewide in 0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:40.120 zero states. But other than that, great prediction, Jeffrey Tuban. 0:42:40.920 --> 0:42:43.000 But Democrats are showing us what the plan is here, 0:42:43.000 --> 0:42:46.680 which is that if there is any reduction in the 0:42:46.920 --> 0:42:51.600 absolutest right to abortion, Remember abortion is a very is 0:42:52.000 --> 0:42:54.480 not just very important right to Democrats because also if 0:42:54.800 --> 0:42:57.080 you ever start to move away from I mean, they 0:42:57.320 --> 0:43:00.560 inherently to have to think, they have to believe abortion 0:43:01.360 --> 0:43:03.400 is a good thing. Now they say that it's not 0:43:03.440 --> 0:43:05.080 that they want it safe, legal and rare. They've tried 0:43:05.080 --> 0:43:09.439 them in the past, but the the public admission through 0:43:09.560 --> 0:43:13.080 law that you want less abortion, even though about seventy 0:43:13.120 --> 0:43:15.600 to eighty percent of the population depending on the poll 0:43:15.640 --> 0:43:18.560 you're talking about, opposes late term abortion. They understand there's 0:43:18.560 --> 0:43:22.200 some problems and some abortion procedures if that is ever 0:43:22.320 --> 0:43:25.719 enshrined in laws, if there or if there are limitations 0:43:25.719 --> 0:43:28.920 restrictions on abortion at the state level, if some states 0:43:28.960 --> 0:43:31.280 say sorry, we think this is unethical and this is immoral, 0:43:32.600 --> 0:43:36.640 then you would have a circumstance where Democrats would have 0:43:36.680 --> 0:43:38.600 to come face to face with they think that a 0:43:38.760 --> 0:43:41.200 right that there can be a right to do something 0:43:41.280 --> 0:43:47.560 that is bad. Find me another right to do something 0:43:47.680 --> 0:43:50.160 that is bad, that is immoral. That is, you have 0:43:50.160 --> 0:43:53.120 a right to do something that is immoral and bad 0:43:53.120 --> 0:43:58.160 and wrong and not like subjectively bad as in well, 0:43:58.200 --> 0:44:00.759 you know, speech can be mean offensive. No, No No, I 0:44:00.840 --> 0:44:02.360 mean you have a right to do something that is 0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:05.799 that is a wrong. It can never be right to 0:44:05.920 --> 0:44:09.000 do a wrong. It's actually one of the preferred sayings 0:44:09.000 --> 0:44:11.520 from my old mentor and amorous professor Hadley Archy's. He 0:44:11.600 --> 0:44:13.520 used to say that all the time. He was right, 0:44:13.680 --> 0:44:18.920 by the way, But Democrats are showing us what the 0:44:18.920 --> 0:44:23.240 plan is, which is to protect abortion across the board 0:44:23.920 --> 0:44:26.440 in as many states as possible, and they protected as 0:44:26.440 --> 0:44:29.320 an absolutist right. You know, they're special. You can't even 0:44:29.560 --> 0:44:33.560 you know, stand in the doorway of an abortion clinic 0:44:33.680 --> 0:44:36.200 and try to pass out literature against it. You know, 0:44:36.200 --> 0:44:38.719 there's all these things. It's this they create all this 0:44:38.760 --> 0:44:43.799 additional legislation and regulation so that abortion access they call it, 0:44:43.840 --> 0:44:47.080 now becomes so and they say abortionist healthcare. So really 0:44:47.239 --> 0:44:48.959 it should be paid for by the state, which means 0:44:49.120 --> 0:44:51.719 you should pay for it. This is a right that 0:44:51.840 --> 0:44:54.719 now exists. They say that cannot be restricted, that you 0:44:54.719 --> 0:44:57.040 should pay Forget the High Demendment. They've abandoned that. I mean, 0:44:57.080 --> 0:45:00.560 they've become extremists on abortion even here to where they 0:45:00.560 --> 0:45:03.799 were twenty years ago, ten years ago. Now they're like, nope, 0:45:04.080 --> 0:45:05.920 not only should you should have to pay for it, 0:45:06.040 --> 0:45:09.000 the government should fund it, and you should have no 0:45:09.120 --> 0:45:11.480 say in this. You cannot try to, uh, you know, 0:45:11.960 --> 0:45:14.800 stand in the way of the doorway of an abortion clinic. 0:45:15.320 --> 0:45:17.960 And oh, by the way, if if an illegal alien 0:45:18.040 --> 0:45:20.879 comes into the country, that person's abortion should be paid 0:45:20.920 --> 0:45:24.080 for with taxpayer dollars too. That's where we are. So 0:45:24.120 --> 0:45:26.160 states are not trying to make sure they already have 0:45:26.280 --> 0:45:32.080 legislation in place in case Trump judges are are in 0:45:32.160 --> 0:45:36.080 fact the difference maker here. And then I say this 0:45:36.120 --> 0:45:38.719 and people I had people kind of push back on this, 0:45:38.840 --> 0:45:40.560 you know, Conservatives when I brought it up with them. 0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:49.840 But for all of Trump's imperfections and his personal his 0:45:50.000 --> 0:45:53.280 personal failings, I think you could say in his personal life, 0:45:53.320 --> 0:45:55.560 which I know, you know again, look, it's fair game, 0:45:55.600 --> 0:45:57.040 but it's also I don't wanna be too harsh on 0:45:57.040 --> 0:46:00.800 this stuff. But for all of that, how would we 0:46:00.880 --> 0:46:05.799 judge it? Speaking of judge kind of a sloppy transition here, 0:46:05.840 --> 0:46:10.839 but this President Trump is better on judges than any 0:46:10.880 --> 0:46:14.399 Republican president in my lifetime. I think you could argue 0:46:14.400 --> 0:46:17.520 probably any Republican president for as long as we've had 0:46:17.560 --> 0:46:19.640 the political issues at hand that we do. So, I 0:46:19.640 --> 0:46:22.480 mean you go back a couple of generations, he's the 0:46:22.480 --> 0:46:25.520 best Republican president for the appointment of Supreme Court judges 0:46:25.520 --> 0:46:27.839 in a hundred years easily, I mean, if you want 0:46:27.840 --> 0:46:29.680 to go before that, but it was kind of different stuff. 0:46:31.040 --> 0:46:35.680 So he's unbelievable. I mean, he's been fantastic with the 0:46:35.719 --> 0:46:38.440 federal judges he's appointed, and Mitch McConnell, give him credit 0:46:38.480 --> 0:46:42.320 to cocaine, Mitch getting the job done. He's putting people 0:46:42.640 --> 0:46:49.160 into positions, lifetime lifetime positions, appointments across the federal judiciary 0:46:49.200 --> 0:46:51.359 that's going to have a really major impact for a 0:46:51.480 --> 0:46:55.680 very long time. And you know, Trump has been excellent 0:46:55.719 --> 0:46:59.160 on these judges. If, in fact, a another opening comes 0:46:59.239 --> 0:47:01.239 up in the next suming Trump wins re election, which 0:47:01.239 --> 0:47:03.319 we know we don't. We're not counting our chickens before 0:47:03.320 --> 0:47:06.160 they hatch. Assuming Trump wins the next election, though, and 0:47:06.280 --> 0:47:08.239 he manages to appoint someone along the lines of a 0:47:08.239 --> 0:47:13.840 Gorsitch or a Kavanaugh, although we don't know how. We 0:47:13.880 --> 0:47:16.840 don't know how conservative and constitutionals Cavanaugh really is yet, 0:47:17.560 --> 0:47:20.520 we don't know. We know he didn't run a secret 0:47:20.560 --> 0:47:22.560 gang rape ring back in the day, unless you're a 0:47:22.600 --> 0:47:25.319 total lunatic in a moron who believes that. Still, but 0:47:26.200 --> 0:47:27.799 you know, we don't know how good he is on 0:47:27.800 --> 0:47:31.719 some of these issues. But if Trump's election and his 0:47:31.800 --> 0:47:37.920 appointment results in a change in abortion law at the 0:47:38.440 --> 0:47:41.960 Supreme Court level, and that then means that it becomes 0:47:41.960 --> 0:47:43.680 a state's issue, which is what these states are all 0:47:43.719 --> 0:47:48.360 doing to prepare for it meaning that the blue legislatures 0:47:48.800 --> 0:47:51.400 even in states like like Virginia that are kind of purple. Right, 0:47:51.440 --> 0:47:53.440 the California is a separate issue where it's just blue 0:47:53.560 --> 0:47:55.560 and there's no hope of changing anytime soon. We'll talk 0:47:55.600 --> 0:47:58.080 about that later. But in Virginia, where it's it's a 0:47:58.200 --> 0:48:03.040 purple state trending blue, they're trying to put these these 0:48:03.120 --> 0:48:05.239 laws in place while they can. You know, this is 0:48:05.320 --> 0:48:07.279 kind of like what the Democrats did with Obamacare. Oh, 0:48:07.400 --> 0:48:09.520 we have a kind of an anomaly here. We have 0:48:09.560 --> 0:48:12.200 control everywhere. I just forget about the other side. Just 0:48:12.320 --> 0:48:15.360 do it to just do it to them, just ram 0:48:15.400 --> 0:48:21.240 your progressivism down their throats. And but on abortion specifically, 0:48:21.239 --> 0:48:26.040 they're preparing for this because if Trump's judges do anything 0:48:26.160 --> 0:48:30.360 that restricts abortion or just no longer has this this 0:48:30.600 --> 0:48:33.320 writ from on high of the Supreme Court that abortion 0:48:33.440 --> 0:48:34.840 is the law of the land and there can be 0:48:34.840 --> 0:48:37.960 no state restrictions on it. You know, and Planned Parenthood v. 0:48:38.040 --> 0:48:42.000 Casey isn't even is really where this could happen where 0:48:42.040 --> 0:48:46.360 you have the special category of abortion in our law. 0:48:46.920 --> 0:48:49.760 Never I mean, the Rovyway decision is a horrible decision, 0:48:50.000 --> 0:48:52.279 but just based on the legal aspects of it, never 0:48:52.280 --> 0:48:54.960 mind the moral. But then you look at plan Parenthood v. Cacy, 0:48:54.960 --> 0:48:57.239 where you added all of this. Now, abortion is a 0:48:57.320 --> 0:48:59.279 right that must be protected along the lines of how 0:48:59.280 --> 0:49:02.640 people think of, you know, voting rights. It's not just 0:49:02.760 --> 0:49:04.160 you have a right to be able to vote, but 0:49:04.200 --> 0:49:07.080 you know, it's like, well you can't you know, you 0:49:07.120 --> 0:49:09.600 can't have a polling place moved from here to there. 0:49:09.680 --> 0:49:11.479 And there's all these other things that get added into 0:49:11.480 --> 0:49:15.160 it to make it a right that is ineffective, right, right, 0:49:16.400 --> 0:49:18.719 So if you have some of those restrictions that come 0:49:18.719 --> 0:49:21.160 as a result of a change from the Supreme Court 0:49:21.200 --> 0:49:23.680 because of Trump judges, and this is what I'm really 0:49:23.680 --> 0:49:25.239 trying to get to you here, but no one really thinks, 0:49:25.280 --> 0:49:28.640 for this way, how many lives will Trump have saved? 0:49:29.800 --> 0:49:35.600 How many lives will Donald Trump be directly responsible for 0:49:35.719 --> 0:49:39.520 saving if the judges that he appoints, specifically judges that 0:49:39.560 --> 0:49:42.080 he has appointed the Supreme Court are the deciding factor 0:49:42.560 --> 0:49:46.400 in rolling back the current regime of abortion this country, 0:49:46.680 --> 0:49:48.839 such that not every state will of course outlawed. Some 0:49:48.840 --> 0:49:51.000 states or California will have it exactly as it is 0:49:51.080 --> 0:49:55.600 right now, but there will be states where it's still practiced, 0:49:56.000 --> 0:49:57.880 where all of a sudden it will be endowed or 0:49:57.880 --> 0:50:00.600 perhaps be eliminated entirely. How many lives will he be 0:50:00.600 --> 0:50:04.719 responsible for saving. I think that's a very real calculation 0:50:04.760 --> 0:50:08.480 that we should keep in mind as the president. People say, oh, my, judges, 0:50:08.560 --> 0:50:12.000 this is a line you'll here like conservatives and you know, evangelicals, 0:50:12.040 --> 0:50:15.080 for example, I've been getting so much heat recently because 0:50:15.200 --> 0:50:18.000 they overwhelmingly, I think eighty to ninety percent of them 0:50:18.000 --> 0:50:20.920 support Donald Trump. And people say, oh, well, that's so hypocritical, 0:50:20.920 --> 0:50:24.120 because evangelicals are supposed to care about character, and they're 0:50:24.120 --> 0:50:25.880 supposed to care about you know, this and the other thing. 0:50:26.239 --> 0:50:27.960 And to that, I just say, well, hold on a second. 0:50:29.239 --> 0:50:32.440 Evangelicals care about the president United States, defending their interests, 0:50:32.440 --> 0:50:36.680 their rights, and pushing moral policy. And you know, I 0:50:36.800 --> 0:50:38.440 take it in the other direction. I say, Catholics that 0:50:38.480 --> 0:50:42.440 support people like Nancy Pelosi as a Catholic, which is 0:50:42.440 --> 0:50:44.279 what she loves to say, of course, even though she's 0:50:45.360 --> 0:50:49.840 pushing for the policies that I think would make Beelzebub grin. 0:50:51.800 --> 0:50:53.279 I don't know how Catholics are okay with what the 0:50:53.320 --> 0:50:55.640 stuff the Democratic parties doing and still consider themselves to 0:50:55.640 --> 0:50:59.280 be in any reasonable or any meaningful way of believing Hatholic. 0:51:00.280 --> 0:51:02.560 So that's that's a part of this. But then there's 0:51:02.560 --> 0:51:05.279 the issue of guns, which I wanted to transition us too. 0:51:07.880 --> 0:51:10.880 You're in the Freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton 0:51:10.920 --> 0:51:17.400 Show podcast. Virginia is a state that I've spent a 0:51:17.440 --> 0:51:21.719 lot of time and I have a family still in Virginia, 0:51:21.800 --> 0:51:25.360 and I used to spend one or two major holidays 0:51:25.360 --> 0:51:28.040 a year, usually is either Thanksgiving or Fourth of July. 0:51:28.160 --> 0:51:31.880 We're both in Virginia seeing my grandmother down there. And 0:51:32.560 --> 0:51:36.080 you know, we've always had this connection to Virginia as 0:51:36.120 --> 0:51:39.120 a family as a result, and I mean meaning my 0:51:39.160 --> 0:51:42.000 immediate family, and you know, we think of it as 0:51:42.000 --> 0:51:44.040 the South, and obviously you go back and you know, 0:51:44.080 --> 0:51:47.800 the history of history of this country had clearly you know, 0:51:47.600 --> 0:51:50.040 you know, Richmond's role in the South and everything on. 0:51:50.120 --> 0:51:52.120 I mean, we're very aware of Virginia as the South, 0:51:52.160 --> 0:51:54.839 but you know, it's starting to feel a lot less 0:51:54.880 --> 0:51:58.280 like the South in the sense that it's gone bluer 0:51:58.360 --> 0:52:02.799 and bluer in recent years. And that's where you have 0:52:02.880 --> 0:52:04.760 this situation now. And this is by the way, also 0:52:04.840 --> 0:52:09.040 why I talk about hypocrisy and the way the Democrats 0:52:09.080 --> 0:52:12.120 will abandon principles they pretend to care about for political expedience. 0:52:12.239 --> 0:52:15.640 Governor Northam the guy who was wearing black face in 0:52:15.680 --> 0:52:17.040 the photo, but he couldn't remember if he was in 0:52:17.080 --> 0:52:18.960 the clan robe or if he was the black face guy, 0:52:19.239 --> 0:52:21.160 or how many times he did it, and he lied 0:52:21.160 --> 0:52:26.080 about it. That guy is the governor of a state 0:52:26.160 --> 0:52:29.439 where right now you have Democrats in control of both 0:52:29.480 --> 0:52:32.239 parts of the state legislature, and so he was very 0:52:32.800 --> 0:52:38.759 necessary for the plan of trying to push very aggressive 0:52:39.440 --> 0:52:44.160 progressive policies in a state where there's certainly a large 0:52:44.239 --> 0:52:49.319 contingent of Republicans conservatives who are not on board for 0:52:49.360 --> 0:52:53.520 this at all and they just don't care. Democrats have 0:52:53.600 --> 0:52:55.200 now taken it, and it's part of this, I think, 0:52:55.320 --> 0:52:58.840 is a reflection also of the polarized era were in 0:52:58.960 --> 0:53:01.480 when it comes to Trump. Democrats have taken an attitude 0:53:01.480 --> 0:53:03.839 in these states of we're just going to do as 0:53:03.920 --> 0:53:05.960 much as we can, as fast as we can when 0:53:05.960 --> 0:53:10.359 we have power, irrespective even really of the possible long 0:53:10.480 --> 0:53:13.839 term political risks. And that is where we get to 0:53:14.280 --> 0:53:19.200 this plan in Virginia, which I've mentioned it a couple 0:53:19.200 --> 0:53:22.319 of times in the show. We haven't gotten into all 0:53:22.360 --> 0:53:24.000 that much detail about it, but there is this plan 0:53:24.080 --> 0:53:29.320 in Virginia to ban semi automatic rifles that are deemed 0:53:29.360 --> 0:53:34.880 assault rifles. And you may have a situation where it 0:53:35.040 --> 0:53:37.920 mean depends on how this isn't forced, but you may 0:53:37.920 --> 0:53:41.319 have a situation where you have law enforcement going to 0:53:41.360 --> 0:53:46.040 people's homes and under the law, I mean, if it's banned, 0:53:46.040 --> 0:53:48.479 it's banned. If it's illegal, it's illegal. And now people 0:53:48.480 --> 0:53:50.680 are going to be arrested in the state of Virginia. 0:53:50.719 --> 0:53:54.520 I mean, this isn't you know, this isn't Massachusetts or 0:53:54.560 --> 0:53:56.680 California or some of these places that you would expect 0:53:57.440 --> 0:53:59.480 might be arrested for having a semi automatic rifle that 0:53:59.520 --> 0:54:03.640 a certain cosmetic characteristics that liberals find scary. That's what 0:54:03.680 --> 0:54:05.400 we're heading for. And that also then brings me to 0:54:06.920 --> 0:54:12.239 sanctuary jurisdiction. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. 0:54:12.560 --> 0:54:16.400 Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or 0:54:16.400 --> 0:54:21.120 wherever you get your podcasts. All right, so, what is 0:54:21.120 --> 0:54:23.480 a sanctuary jurisdiction in the context of you you have 0:54:23.560 --> 0:54:27.920 this this Democrat control of both parts of the legislature 0:54:28.000 --> 0:54:34.319 for Virginia, and you have a governor. I remember they 0:54:34.920 --> 0:54:36.520 thought maybe for a while, okay, we're gonna push the 0:54:36.560 --> 0:54:39.840 governor out. But then you had I think, justin Fairfax, 0:54:40.000 --> 0:54:46.440 just below the governor, who was accused by two different 0:54:46.440 --> 0:54:49.200 women of sexual assault, and so that then all of 0:54:49.239 --> 0:54:51.319 a sudden and this all happened roughly at the same time. 0:54:51.640 --> 0:54:54.719 And then if he also stepped down or couldn't take 0:54:54.760 --> 0:54:59.440 over the governor's role. For Northam, you had Mark Harring 0:55:00.040 --> 0:55:03.680 who had his own like blackface issue in his past 0:55:04.160 --> 0:55:06.480 where and he initially called for Northam to stepped down. 0:55:06.600 --> 0:55:08.840 So you could have had you know, one, two, three, 0:55:08.880 --> 0:55:13.040 the top three of the state of Virginia on the 0:55:13.080 --> 0:55:16.560 executive branch side effectively stepped down or pushed out or 0:55:16.600 --> 0:55:19.640 gone whatever, resign. So that's why they're like, all right, 0:55:19.640 --> 0:55:21.920 we're just gonna keep Northam. You got Northam still in place. 0:55:21.960 --> 0:55:24.080 Nor remember Northam's the guy not only had the blackface 0:55:24.280 --> 0:55:29.040 situation in his past, but also talked far too openly 0:55:29.080 --> 0:55:31.040 and honestly, I think is what you'd have to say about, 0:55:31.080 --> 0:55:34.200 how you know, if if if a child of an 0:55:34.239 --> 0:55:37.480 abortion was born alive, you know, you'd want to like 0:55:37.560 --> 0:55:40.840 be nice to it and comfort it, beore before you 0:55:40.960 --> 0:55:44.239 kill it. This is what he said. He said it 0:55:44.280 --> 0:55:46.719 on radio. You can all hear it for yourself. Democrats 0:55:46.760 --> 0:55:49.600 pretend that this is scaremongering, or this isn't a real thing, 0:55:49.719 --> 0:55:52.439 or guy said it, he meant what he said. He hasn't. 0:55:52.840 --> 0:55:55.319 And also no one has ever said that that that's 0:55:55.360 --> 0:55:57.800 not the reality of the law on Virginia, and Democrats 0:55:57.840 --> 0:55:59.760 are trying to make that now they're trying to enshrine 0:55:59.800 --> 0:56:04.440 that as the law at the state level. And then 0:56:04.440 --> 0:56:06.120 that brings me to this this gun issue and the 0:56:06.600 --> 0:56:13.200 notion of sanctuary jurisdictions. Now here's where the standard set 0:56:13.239 --> 0:56:16.200 by liberals, which and it's really a standard of we 0:56:16.320 --> 0:56:18.799 have no standards other than we want power, we will 0:56:18.840 --> 0:56:21.799 achieve power, will do what is necessary. The standards set 0:56:21.800 --> 0:56:29.480 by liberals here is more or less being replicated by Republicans. 0:56:29.719 --> 0:56:34.400 Liberals do it with immigration, they've just decided, you know, 0:56:34.440 --> 0:56:36.319 they've just decided on their own for whatever reason, that 0:56:36.360 --> 0:56:42.799 they are in a position to not enforce immigration law right. 0:56:42.880 --> 0:56:45.320 Sanctuary cities, as you know, and there's hundreds and hundred 0:56:45.320 --> 0:56:47.319 of them across the country, and what they're saying is 0:56:47.320 --> 0:56:49.840 that they will not stay in local law enforcement, will 0:56:49.880 --> 0:56:54.960 not be a part of federal law that mandates that 0:56:55.040 --> 0:56:57.080 you can't be in the country illegally, and that has, 0:56:57.120 --> 0:56:59.080 of course other provisions that come into play as well. 0:56:59.560 --> 0:57:00.880 They will not be a part of it, and they 0:57:00.880 --> 0:57:04.040 will in fact do what they can to make it harder. 0:57:04.360 --> 0:57:07.760 They will not extend courtesy assistance to federal law enforcement 0:57:07.800 --> 0:57:12.160 immigration customs officers. They will not honor detainer requests. So 0:57:12.200 --> 0:57:14.560 when someone's already in prison who's an illegal alien in 0:57:14.560 --> 0:57:17.520 sanctuary jurisdictions, they will not hold them until ice can 0:57:17.560 --> 0:57:20.240 show up and take custody of them. They won't even 0:57:20.280 --> 0:57:24.680 do that. They will not even notify in some cases 0:57:24.680 --> 0:57:27.720 they have an illegal alien and custody. And there's the 0:57:27.720 --> 0:57:30.640 fight underwear right now. This administration, the Trump administration, has 0:57:30.640 --> 0:57:32.440 been waging this battle trying to say, hey, hold on 0:57:32.480 --> 0:57:35.600 a second, you know, you can't just you can't just 0:57:35.640 --> 0:57:38.600 do this. You can't just pretend that the law is 0:57:38.600 --> 0:57:40.400 in the law, and the law enforcement, even at the 0:57:40.400 --> 0:57:43.800 state and local level, has no role to play in 0:57:43.880 --> 0:57:47.080 assisting the federal government. Of course, the states, the Democrats 0:57:47.080 --> 0:57:51.360 have all of a sudden established or have discovered states rights, 0:57:51.360 --> 0:57:54.720 which we know has a very negative connotation in many 0:57:54.720 --> 0:57:58.640 contexts for other reasons. But Democrats have established or have 0:57:58.680 --> 0:58:02.400 figured out that their states rights, such as in this case, 0:58:02.760 --> 0:58:07.640 would make it impossible or not a legal duty for 0:58:07.680 --> 0:58:12.640 them to do what federal law enforcement wants them to do. Okay, now, 0:58:13.360 --> 0:58:16.840 let's get back to the sanctuary gun situation here. What 0:58:16.880 --> 0:58:19.760 that is is that you have people in sheriffs in 0:58:19.920 --> 0:58:25.680 certain towns cities of Virginia who have already said, look, 0:58:25.680 --> 0:58:28.360 we're just we're not going to do this thing that 0:58:28.400 --> 0:58:30.120 you want us to do, where we're going to start 0:58:30.200 --> 0:58:33.840 arresting people and enforcing US law against assualt rifles where 0:58:33.840 --> 0:58:37.960 it's not going to do it, which is going to 0:58:38.000 --> 0:58:39.880 be very interesting. Now that is keep in mind it's 0:58:39.880 --> 0:58:43.600 a little different than sanctuary cities. In sanctuary cities, it's 0:58:43.840 --> 0:58:46.280 state and local law enforcement saying we will not assist 0:58:46.880 --> 0:58:51.040 or in any way enforce federal immigration law. Now you 0:58:51.160 --> 0:58:54.960 have people at the state level who are law enforcement 0:58:54.960 --> 0:58:58.000 officers paid by the state, working for the state, who 0:58:58.040 --> 0:59:02.680 are saying, sorry, not going to do it. This is 0:59:02.880 --> 0:59:08.040 nullification of the people in charge, nullification of the laws 0:59:08.040 --> 0:59:10.840 of the people in charge of enforcing the laws. Now, 0:59:10.920 --> 0:59:16.680 I understand why they would do this, because it's outrageous 0:59:16.720 --> 0:59:19.800 that the Virginia State legislature and this sort of progressive 0:59:19.880 --> 0:59:24.200 frenzy wants to ban So I'm sure there are other 0:59:24.240 --> 0:59:26.440 things they're planning on doing. Two in the realm of 0:59:26.720 --> 0:59:30.520 gun control, there's more specifics that they're going to try 0:59:30.560 --> 0:59:32.760 to throw in the mix here and do other things 0:59:32.760 --> 0:59:38.520 that would be particularly owners for gun owners. Because remember, 0:59:38.600 --> 0:59:42.840 much of the gun control agenda is really about agitating 0:59:42.880 --> 0:59:45.720 and other rising people who believe in the Second Amendment 0:59:45.760 --> 0:59:48.919 who own guns. Much of what they are really trying 0:59:48.920 --> 0:59:51.720 to accomplish with some of this legislation is just to 0:59:52.760 --> 0:59:55.280 thumb their nose at to spit in the faces of 0:59:55.880 --> 0:59:58.400 people who are their political opponents who tend to be 0:59:58.920 --> 1:00:04.760 Second Amendment support orders. But what happens, my friends, what 1:00:04.880 --> 1:00:10.080 happens when you have a circumstance where now Democrats decide 1:00:10.160 --> 1:00:13.040 that certain state laws will just not be enforced. Now, 1:00:13.120 --> 1:00:15.480 the drug thing, by the way, is another another situation, 1:00:15.480 --> 1:00:18.680 but the federal government has kind of said, okay, but 1:00:19.000 --> 1:00:20.920 we have a lot of laws in this country right 1:00:20.960 --> 1:00:23.680 now that you start to say what exactly is the law? 1:00:25.760 --> 1:00:29.280 Where does the law stop and start? You've got immigration 1:00:29.400 --> 1:00:33.240 law that is not enforced by state and local governments 1:00:33.280 --> 1:00:38.240 and sanctual jurisdictions, and that the federal government seems unable 1:00:38.320 --> 1:00:41.000 to enforce. And when you're unable to enforce a law, 1:00:41.040 --> 1:00:43.120 there's certainly an argument made that it has ceased to 1:00:43.240 --> 1:00:47.680 be a law. So the federal government has fallen down 1:00:47.680 --> 1:00:50.280 on the job in this regard. So then you have 1:00:50.320 --> 1:00:52.320 to ask, okay, well, where else do we have laws 1:00:52.360 --> 1:00:56.080 that are not being treated as law. Look, I'm and 1:00:56.160 --> 1:00:57.640 some of you get very mad at me on this one, 1:00:57.640 --> 1:01:00.560 and I understand. I know that there are very strong 1:01:00.640 --> 1:01:04.880 feelings around marijuana legalization and whether it's a good thing 1:01:04.920 --> 1:01:08.160 or a bad thing. I mean, the states that have 1:01:08.440 --> 1:01:13.960 made it de facto legal although it's not legal. I mean, 1:01:13.960 --> 1:01:18.160 the federal government still has under the Controlled Substances Act 1:01:18.600 --> 1:01:23.480 under their first section of it, right Schedule one controlled 1:01:23.480 --> 1:01:25.960 substances marijuana is still on there, so it's still very 1:01:26.040 --> 1:01:28.080 much illegal, but states are allowed. But you see, I 1:01:28.120 --> 1:01:30.120 understand that this it starts to get a little confusing 1:01:30.200 --> 1:01:32.720 in this tangle of all these different laws. But you 1:01:32.720 --> 1:01:34.720 can understand how anybody to look at this would say, okay, 1:01:34.720 --> 1:01:36.720 so is the law just no longer a law when 1:01:36.760 --> 1:01:40.920 some people decide that it doesn't count anymore? Don't we 1:01:40.960 --> 1:01:43.640 have legislatures that are supposed to repeal things and mend things, 1:01:43.720 --> 1:01:47.520 change things. Is this just turning into Because what really 1:01:47.600 --> 1:01:51.280 separates America from a lot of other countries that have, 1:01:51.960 --> 1:01:57.080 you know, a lot of natural resources, good weather? You 1:01:57.160 --> 1:02:00.800 know what exactly separates us from places? What separates us 1:02:00.800 --> 1:02:03.600 from most of Latin America, for example, that's a that's 1:02:03.600 --> 1:02:08.400 a good place to start. What separates America from Latin America. Well, 1:02:09.000 --> 1:02:11.760 we have rule of law. And anybody who spend any 1:02:11.800 --> 1:02:13.840 time in Mexico or a whole bunch of other countries 1:02:13.840 --> 1:02:19.520 in Central and South America would tell you very assuredly 1:02:20.440 --> 1:02:23.760 that rule of law in those countries is kind of 1:02:23.760 --> 1:02:27.080 a non existent to our barely existent. It's one of 1:02:27.120 --> 1:02:29.440 the most important things that separates us from those countries, 1:02:29.480 --> 1:02:34.040 and it contributes to our security, our prosperity, you know, 1:02:34.120 --> 1:02:36.840 our our freedom. Rule of laws very much about freedom. 1:02:36.880 --> 1:02:38.960 If you understand what the laws are in a country, 1:02:39.000 --> 1:02:43.320 you can operate accordingly, and you can have an expectation 1:02:43.360 --> 1:02:47.320 that your freedom will be respected and the state will 1:02:47.360 --> 1:02:49.520 protect your freedoms because you know what those laws are. 1:02:51.000 --> 1:02:54.120 When it's just to kind of sometimes yes, sometimes know, 1:02:54.400 --> 1:02:57.120 how can you even make a real determination about that? 1:02:58.480 --> 1:03:03.760 So while I understand the impulse from sheriff, look, you know, 1:03:03.800 --> 1:03:05.200 the other part of it is it's not even necessarily 1:03:05.280 --> 1:03:07.240 nullification of laws for sheriffs. Then it just turns into 1:03:07.240 --> 1:03:10.520 prosecutor a form of prosecutorial discretion, which all law enforcement has. 1:03:11.480 --> 1:03:15.160 You know, if a cop on the scene thinks, you know, 1:03:15.160 --> 1:03:16.920 if you were speeding, but a cop thinks that you know, 1:03:17.120 --> 1:03:18.720 you're actually trying to get your wife to the hospital, 1:03:18.800 --> 1:03:21.680 he has he has, He's completely within his rights to 1:03:21.720 --> 1:03:24.240 say I'm going to give you warning. You're welcome to go, right. 1:03:25.600 --> 1:03:28.640 I mean, ken a sheriff just say hey, you know 1:03:28.680 --> 1:03:30.080 I saw you at the range with you know, if 1:03:30.080 --> 1:03:31.800 this is sheriff pulls up the range to do a 1:03:31.880 --> 1:03:33.440 you know, his own target practice, and I'm sure he 1:03:33.440 --> 1:03:35.439 has his own range. You get what I'm saying. See 1:03:35.480 --> 1:03:38.080 somebody in Virginia after with this law and effect, now 1:03:38.600 --> 1:03:41.480 I'm banning assault rifles assuming but they're trying to do 1:03:41.560 --> 1:03:43.360 this in the next sixty days. So it hasn't hasn't 1:03:43.480 --> 1:03:45.280 happened quite yet. That's why I can't give you that 1:03:45.320 --> 1:03:48.560 many specifics on exactly what's going on here. But if 1:03:48.560 --> 1:03:50.480 a sheriff see somebody can't just say, hey, buddy, be 1:03:50.520 --> 1:03:52.440 careful with that because you know it's technically illegal, but 1:03:52.560 --> 1:03:54.880 you know, take it home with you, don't worry about it. Yeah, 1:03:54.920 --> 1:03:57.960 of course, So is that is that a dangerous nullification 1:03:57.960 --> 1:04:01.760 of lall? No, it's not. But we need to understand 1:04:01.880 --> 1:04:05.280 here that you have a Democrat impulse in a state 1:04:05.280 --> 1:04:07.080 where there are a lot of people that very much 1:04:07.120 --> 1:04:11.280 disagree with what is trying to be what they're trying 1:04:11.280 --> 1:04:14.920 to accomplish here, there's a Democrat impulse to make criminals 1:04:14.960 --> 1:04:21.560 of Republicans, to criminalize their Second Amendment rights, and to 1:04:21.880 --> 1:04:25.000 institutionalize as much as possible the furthest left parts of 1:04:25.000 --> 1:04:27.960 their agenda. And this is resulting in a state by 1:04:28.000 --> 1:04:32.120 state polarization where there's you know, I keep talking about 1:04:32.160 --> 1:04:34.360 the eradication of good faith in the era of Trump 1:04:34.400 --> 1:04:36.480 in our politics. I really mean it. It's a real thing. 1:04:37.360 --> 1:04:40.680 You know, you can't trust that your fellow Americans who 1:04:40.720 --> 1:04:44.200 are liberals or who are Democrats are willing to defend 1:04:44.240 --> 1:04:47.880 your free speech rights anymore? Because there's a really large 1:04:48.080 --> 1:04:51.560 movement within the left. I would say it's the dominant 1:04:51.640 --> 1:04:55.440 force in Democrat politics today to say no, sorry, certain 1:04:55.520 --> 1:04:58.040 things you can't Certain things are too mean, You're not 1:04:58.040 --> 1:05:00.400 allowed to say them, Certain things are too controvers know 1:05:00.480 --> 1:05:04.000 how to say them? In the Second Amendment? What do 1:05:04.040 --> 1:05:07.120 you if if the Bloomberg's of the world got their way. 1:05:07.160 --> 1:05:11.360 I mean, you know, Bloomberg is very opposed to um guns. 1:05:12.360 --> 1:05:16.280 Um if they got their way, what exactly would what 1:05:16.520 --> 1:05:18.120 would you be allowed? You'd be allowed to maybe get 1:05:18.360 --> 1:05:20.680 a special permit to have a double barreled shotgun that 1:05:20.720 --> 1:05:23.800 you could use to go you know, sporting clay shooting. 1:05:24.600 --> 1:05:28.680 You know they go trap shooting sometime. That's that's the 1:05:28.720 --> 1:05:30.440 full extent. I mean, what would your Second Amendment rights 1:05:30.480 --> 1:05:32.000 really be? Oh yeah, you can defend your home with 1:05:32.040 --> 1:05:35.440 a double barreled shotguns. That's all you need. This is 1:05:35.720 --> 1:05:39.680 this is taking us down to a a scary place. 1:05:40.520 --> 1:05:42.840 What you're seeing in Virginia, if this is a harbinger 1:05:42.880 --> 1:05:46.120 of things to come, and other purple states across the 1:05:46.120 --> 1:05:49.280 country where Democrats have legislative control for a period of time. 1:05:49.640 --> 1:05:51.200 You know, it's one thing to pass aloll that says 1:05:51.200 --> 1:05:53.920 the tax rate the state tax is seven percent. No, 1:05:54.040 --> 1:05:56.160 it's actually nine percent, or it's eight percent. Okay, I 1:05:56.160 --> 1:05:59.360 mean you could switch that back and forth. But you're 1:05:59.360 --> 1:06:01.680 going to start going door to door and sending law 1:06:01.760 --> 1:06:04.760 enforcement to go arrest people for this. And if you're 1:06:04.800 --> 1:06:06.680 not going to do that, why would you ban assault rifles? 1:06:06.840 --> 1:06:08.520 What does that mean? You're just gonna ban new sale 1:06:08.520 --> 1:06:13.360 of assault rifles. There are I'm sure a few million 1:06:13.520 --> 1:06:16.680 assault rifles currently in circulation in Virginia. I even, I mean, 1:06:16.720 --> 1:06:19.280 I can't No one even really knows the number. So 1:06:19.360 --> 1:06:21.640 you're just going to make sure that everyone's and you're 1:06:21.680 --> 1:06:23.440 still gonna have legal sale of them in other in 1:06:23.520 --> 1:06:26.600 other states. So if possession of them is not illegal, 1:06:26.600 --> 1:06:28.480 and you're just going to ban new sales, you're just 1:06:28.560 --> 1:06:31.000 making it a lot more expensive for people to get 1:06:31.080 --> 1:06:34.040 in aar in Virginia. So if you're going to really 1:06:34.080 --> 1:06:35.320 try to get rid of them, you're gonna have to 1:06:35.440 --> 1:06:37.320 arrest people for them. You have to criminalize them. Are 1:06:37.360 --> 1:06:39.880 democrats at the state Legislature of Virginia willing to do that? 1:06:40.160 --> 1:06:44.360 In this crazy period we're in, it seems the answers, Yes, 1:06:45.520 --> 1:06:50.720 it's very troubling. It should put everybody on edge. You're 1:06:50.800 --> 1:06:54.520 in the freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 1:06:58.280 --> 1:07:00.840 During the run up to the passage of Obama President Obama, 1:07:00.880 --> 1:07:03.000 Prow's wife father that if he lies his plan, he 1:07:03.000 --> 1:07:04.920 can keep his plan, and that's insurance will be cheaper 1:07:05.600 --> 1:07:08.320 after passage's planning his own allowed and it's insurance costs 1:07:08.360 --> 1:07:10.840 double since he supported the plan. Were he lying with 1:07:10.920 --> 1:07:13.280 my dad? Or did you not understand the ability's supported 1:07:14.720 --> 1:07:18.200 the lion dog face pony shoulder. No. Look, there's two 1:07:18.240 --> 1:07:22.439 ways people know when something is important. One when it's 1:07:22.440 --> 1:07:25.720 so clear when it's passed that everybody understands it. And 1:07:25.800 --> 1:07:28.880 no one didn't understand Obamacare, including the way it was 1:07:28.960 --> 1:07:31.080 rolled out, and the gentleman's right. He said you could 1:07:31.160 --> 1:07:32.920 keep your doctor if you wanted to, and you couldn't 1:07:33.000 --> 1:07:35.240 keep your doctor if you wanted to. Necessarily he's dead 1:07:35.320 --> 1:07:39.680 right about that, you know. Joe Biden makes these two 1:07:39.680 --> 1:07:42.680 admissions here, and it's all you really have to know 1:07:42.680 --> 1:07:44.120 about the Democrats today is that this is this is 1:07:44.160 --> 1:07:46.040 their best This is the guy that they're putting up 1:07:46.080 --> 1:07:48.600 to set everything right and make everything great in this country. 1:07:48.600 --> 1:07:54.320 And Joe Biden's a buffoon, a buffoon, but he just 1:07:54.400 --> 1:08:00.200 kind of blithely in sousion in sousion lee, I don't 1:08:00.200 --> 1:08:02.600 know if that's really a word, but in sousion manner, 1:08:02.760 --> 1:08:05.480 it's a fancy French word for like cool as a cucumber. 1:08:07.080 --> 1:08:11.439 Says that nobody understood Obamacare when it was rolled out 1:08:12.720 --> 1:08:15.919 and you couldn't keep your plan. And I just want 1:08:15.920 --> 1:08:19.000 to point out that I was saying that at the time. 1:08:19.200 --> 1:08:21.559 Conservatives really across the board, we're saying this at the time, 1:08:21.600 --> 1:08:26.719 and what we were saying was absolutely true, and yet 1:08:27.080 --> 1:08:30.280 Democrats shouted us down, DemoGod the issue, ram it through 1:08:30.320 --> 1:08:34.000 and still pretend like Obamacare was was great. An Obamacare 1:08:34.080 --> 1:08:38.839 is effectively an expansion of Medicare, I'm sorry, an expansion 1:08:38.840 --> 1:08:44.000 of medicaid healthcare welfare in a whole bunch of states, 1:08:44.120 --> 1:08:46.680 which adds dramatically to the deficit, but that's what it is, 1:08:47.160 --> 1:08:49.320 and also then does a little bit of shifting where 1:08:49.320 --> 1:08:50.840 some people get a little bit of subsidy to have 1:08:50.920 --> 1:08:53.479 kind of, you know, not so great insurance, and other 1:08:53.520 --> 1:08:56.720 people don't get subsidies pay a little more, pay more 1:08:56.720 --> 1:08:58.800 than they should and are strained in order to try 1:08:58.840 --> 1:09:01.639 to pay the insurance. And this is what this did. 1:09:01.680 --> 1:09:04.400 We have this huge fight. Democrats just just did everything 1:09:04.439 --> 1:09:09.760 went to the mat used reconciliation kind of a budgetary 1:09:09.800 --> 1:09:12.280 maneuver that's not supposed to be meant for major legislation, 1:09:12.280 --> 1:09:14.400 to get the last piece of Obamacare, last parts of 1:09:14.400 --> 1:09:20.519 Obamacare through these budget reconciliation and all for what exactly 1:09:20.520 --> 1:09:23.599 I mean. Now we're still here. We are right, It's 1:09:23.640 --> 1:09:27.639 been three years since Obama, the Obama administration was in power, 1:09:28.439 --> 1:09:30.120 and we're talking about healthcare all and now we've got 1:09:30.160 --> 1:09:33.200 a whole new healthcare thing. You would think that maybe 1:09:33.520 --> 1:09:35.880 there could be some humility from the central planners as 1:09:35.880 --> 1:09:37.800 a result of this. Maybe they would take a moment 1:09:37.840 --> 1:09:40.280 to think, hold on a second. We thought we were 1:09:40.320 --> 1:09:42.479 these geniuses last time, We're going to figure this all out, 1:09:42.680 --> 1:09:45.599 and we completely messed the whole thing up. Maybe this 1:09:45.680 --> 1:09:47.720 time around we should have a little bit more of 1:09:47.720 --> 1:09:51.080 a collaborative approach with the people that have real concerns 1:09:51.120 --> 1:09:55.280 about this and try to make things better. You think 1:09:55.280 --> 1:09:58.680 that the fact that Joe Biden has to say you 1:09:58.680 --> 1:10:00.599 couldn't keep your plan even though we said you could 1:10:00.640 --> 1:10:04.040 keep your plan. That's a big deal because that was 1:10:04.080 --> 1:10:08.320 a huge part of getting the buy in, and it 1:10:08.360 --> 1:10:10.280 was never a particularly strong buying, but getting the buying 1:10:10.280 --> 1:10:12.640 the American people, they figure, Okay, this won't affect me 1:10:12.720 --> 1:10:15.120 that much in the individual market. I can I can 1:10:15.200 --> 1:10:18.320 keep my plan if I like my plan. And it 1:10:18.400 --> 1:10:21.639 turned out it was a big lie. Here's the problem 1:10:21.680 --> 1:10:23.519 I have with them. With a lot of problems with this, 1:10:23.560 --> 1:10:25.000 but here's one of the big problems I have, folks. 1:10:25.360 --> 1:10:30.439 Democrats never learn the lesson. They never learned the lesson. 1:10:31.160 --> 1:10:34.240 They refused to accept that We've run this experiment where 1:10:34.240 --> 1:10:36.320 they just did exactly what they wanted to do. It 1:10:36.400 --> 1:10:39.000 was all Democrats on a single Republican vote that exactly 1:10:39.080 --> 1:10:42.559 they wanted to do. They lied about what they were 1:10:42.600 --> 1:10:45.000 doing in order to get it done. Now Here we 1:10:45.000 --> 1:10:48.320 are of Democrats running what's their primary rallying cry against 1:10:48.360 --> 1:10:50.679 Trump as a policy matter other than Trump as hitler. 1:10:51.760 --> 1:10:57.200 They want Medicare for all, or some vast expansion of Medicare, 1:10:57.320 --> 1:11:02.599 or you know, some enormous add onto Obamacare that would 1:11:02.600 --> 1:11:07.640 be maybe a public option. They never figure out that 1:11:07.720 --> 1:11:10.600 we've already seen. They don't have the ability to do 1:11:10.640 --> 1:11:12.479 what they think they can. They will mess things up. 1:11:12.560 --> 1:11:14.320 They will make your healthcare worse, they will make it 1:11:14.360 --> 1:11:20.720 more expensive, it guaranteed, and yet they never step back 1:11:20.760 --> 1:11:22.559 and say, hold on a second, maybe we should learn 1:11:22.840 --> 1:11:25.200 a lesson from how we've already messed this. Thanks for 1:11:25.240 --> 1:11:28.960 listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe 1:11:28.960 --> 1:11:32.479 on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get 1:11:32.520 --> 1:11:38.040 your podcasts. So some states are coming up with a 1:11:38.080 --> 1:11:41.920 whole bunch of these new progressive laws. California, though, is 1:11:41.960 --> 1:11:46.280 the laboratory of liberal insanity. As you know, California, which 1:11:46.320 --> 1:11:47.560 is I like to point out to you used to 1:11:47.560 --> 1:11:52.240 be a Republican stronghold, which people completely forget now when Gabel, 1:11:52.280 --> 1:11:54.920 we had you know, President Nixon, President Reagan. These came 1:11:54.960 --> 1:11:59.519 from California, the California political system. California was a red 1:11:59.680 --> 1:12:05.840 state until basically the nineties in presidential elections reliably read 1:12:06.160 --> 1:12:10.760 not every time, but usually. And now I mean it 1:12:10.960 --> 1:12:14.920 is the belly of the blue beast. I mean, California 1:12:15.240 --> 1:12:19.880 is liberalism distilled down to its most insane parts. By 1:12:19.880 --> 1:12:21.080 the way, I think I'm actually going to be in 1:12:21.080 --> 1:12:22.960 California in a couple of weeks, so I'll come back 1:12:22.960 --> 1:12:26.240 with some stories from the front lines of liberal insanity there. 1:12:26.240 --> 1:12:28.639 Although I'm New York City, which is basically as bad, 1:12:29.120 --> 1:12:33.040 we just have a slightly more capitalist outlook, I guess. 1:12:33.080 --> 1:12:36.120 I don't know. I'm not even sure we do. Actually 1:12:36.120 --> 1:12:37.720 in New York is probably in some ways as bad 1:12:37.760 --> 1:12:41.439 as California. We have Staten Island, though at least Republican 1:12:41.520 --> 1:12:46.040 stronghold of Staten Island. Yeah. But there's all kinds of 1:12:46.040 --> 1:12:48.040 new laws in California that are going into effects, some 1:12:48.080 --> 1:12:52.479 that will have a real, a real impact on things. 1:12:52.560 --> 1:12:58.439 And here is one, for example. This is just amazing, Prilla. 1:12:58.760 --> 1:13:01.120 Play a clip one, ducer Mark. This is a new 1:13:01.560 --> 1:13:04.240 water use law in California. Play one, all right, this one. 1:13:04.280 --> 1:13:06.120 I'm not sure how I feel about this. You're not 1:13:06.160 --> 1:13:08.599 going to be allowed to shower and do a load 1:13:08.600 --> 1:13:12.360 of laundry in the same day. I had the same misgivings. Um, 1:13:12.520 --> 1:13:15.519 doing a load of laundry takes about forty to fifty 1:13:15.600 --> 1:13:18.519 gallons of water. Taking a shower for about eight minutes 1:13:18.600 --> 1:13:21.480 takes about seventeen gallons of water. Well, there's a limitation 1:13:21.600 --> 1:13:24.400 on your daily use of water a fifty five gallons 1:13:24.520 --> 1:13:26.800 per day. So that means if you are taking a 1:13:26.840 --> 1:13:28.880 shower and doing a load of laundry, you can't do 1:13:29.000 --> 1:13:32.000 both without being in violation of the law. Um. There 1:13:32.000 --> 1:13:35.280 are some exceptions about this. There are some caveats. For instance, 1:13:35.280 --> 1:13:37.800 if you have a multi person household, if you have 1:13:37.800 --> 1:13:40.040 four people in your household, there are three people in household, 1:13:40.120 --> 1:13:45.000 that fifty five gallon limit per day applies for each person, 1:13:45.240 --> 1:13:48.320 so you could do a load of laundry. Um, if 1:13:48.320 --> 1:13:57.080 you have a multi person household, and okay, yeah, well 1:13:57.520 --> 1:13:59.760 you can actually see your your water uses on a 1:13:59.800 --> 1:14:03.160 day rate with your water meter a thousand dollars a day. Folks, 1:14:03.400 --> 1:14:05.479 if you were to take a shower and do a 1:14:05.479 --> 1:14:08.599 load of laundry in California as a single person, so 1:14:08.640 --> 1:14:10.599 I'll have more than fifty five gallons of water usage 1:14:10.600 --> 1:14:13.639 in that they estimate, and they already have these water 1:14:14.200 --> 1:14:16.000 you know, water meters set up. You're gonna see your 1:14:16.040 --> 1:14:19.439 water usage. This is what they've done. This is what 1:14:20.120 --> 1:14:25.240 liberal left wing socialist policy has done to a state 1:14:25.320 --> 1:14:29.720 that in many ways is the most blessed piece of 1:14:29.800 --> 1:14:33.960 land of you know, anywhere in the United States, California, 1:14:33.960 --> 1:14:38.719 the California coastline is incredible. It's gorgeous. It has amazing weather. 1:14:39.200 --> 1:14:42.479 And California has all these different climates. You get you know, 1:14:42.479 --> 1:14:44.519 you go up in the north San Francisco area, it's 1:14:44.560 --> 1:14:46.519 great for wine growing. Go down south you have like 1:14:46.600 --> 1:14:50.320 sunny weather. That's you can wear, you know, board shorts 1:14:50.320 --> 1:14:53.519 and a T shirt, ear round if you want, or 1:14:53.880 --> 1:14:56.719 socks with birkenstocks if you want to rocket, like producer 1:14:56.720 --> 1:14:58.560 Mark does do you do you ever do the socks? No, 1:14:58.760 --> 1:15:00.840 he just he's not like these and he's not on 1:15:00.880 --> 1:15:02.639 board for that. That was a thing for a while. 1:15:02.640 --> 1:15:07.040 People used to wear socks with birkenstocks to remember that hippies. 1:15:07.520 --> 1:15:10.960 So California is gonna start finding you a thousand dollars 1:15:10.960 --> 1:15:13.840 a day if you use too much water. You'd have 1:15:13.880 --> 1:15:18.080 to wonder why is there such a precarious condition for 1:15:18.120 --> 1:15:19.960 water usage in the state. Well, it's because a lot 1:15:20.000 --> 1:15:21.840 of it has to do with the management of water 1:15:22.280 --> 1:15:25.479 by the authorities. Thing just like they don't manage their forests, well, 1:15:25.640 --> 1:15:27.880 they don't manage their water. Well. You'd think a state 1:15:27.960 --> 1:15:31.320 where they're obsessed with environmentalism would be a little bit 1:15:31.360 --> 1:15:33.000 better at this. You'd think that a state where there's 1:15:33.000 --> 1:15:35.759 so many people that's been so much time, so much 1:15:35.760 --> 1:15:40.000 of their time thinking about all these issues would be 1:15:40.080 --> 1:15:42.719 in a position to be better at dealing with them. 1:15:42.760 --> 1:15:47.040 But that is sure enough not the case. That is 1:15:47.120 --> 1:15:50.760 not what ends up happening. They are not good at 1:15:50.800 --> 1:15:54.240 dealing with this at all because they take a statist, 1:15:54.280 --> 1:15:59.599 collectivist approach to these issues, and they believe the looney 1:15:59.680 --> 1:16:03.679 climb change Left's rhetoric. They put it into action. Um, 1:16:03.720 --> 1:16:05.679 and here here's this. This was This was a local 1:16:05.720 --> 1:16:07.880 California TV station. They're having this and you can tell 1:16:07.880 --> 1:16:09.760 the anchors are like, wait, what this new law is 1:16:09.760 --> 1:16:12.479 going to effect in twenty twenty. Play clip two. Now 1:16:12.520 --> 1:16:14.960 there are actually fines available for this as well. Your 1:16:15.000 --> 1:16:18.599 your first your violation is one thousand dollars per each 1:16:18.680 --> 1:16:21.519 day that you're in violation. Wait, who made this a law. 1:16:21.800 --> 1:16:24.680 Let's just let me talk to that. It's a state legislature. 1:16:24.720 --> 1:16:27.280 The governor signed this into effectos in effect January first. 1:16:27.360 --> 1:16:30.400 Now there's also another caveat. If we're in drought conditions 1:16:30.400 --> 1:16:32.760 and the governor declares an emergency, that fine can go 1:16:32.840 --> 1:16:34.880 up to ten thousand dollars to a day, so be careful. 1:16:34.920 --> 1:16:38.599 You know, you could change your word to serenity to anchor. Now, wow, 1:16:38.640 --> 1:16:40.519 you're not gonna be able to shower in twenty twenty. 1:16:40.560 --> 1:16:42.639 You know what, I'm gonna pick doing laundry ever, showering. 1:16:42.760 --> 1:16:45.360 So all of a sudden, I can smoke marijuana as 1:16:45.439 --> 1:16:47.559 much as I want, but I can't take a shower. Yeah, 1:16:47.560 --> 1:16:52.880 it's it's unbelievable. Yeah, absolutely, It's like, get smoked marijuana 1:16:52.920 --> 1:16:54.880 as much as I want, I can't take a shower. 1:16:55.000 --> 1:16:59.400 I mean, it's kind of true. That's California. The streets 1:16:59.400 --> 1:17:03.320 are governing FECs, the middle class is fleeing, the taxes 1:17:03.360 --> 1:17:07.360 are too high, the crime rate is rising. You can't 1:17:07.360 --> 1:17:09.439 take a shower, but you can smoke all the weeds 1:17:09.479 --> 1:17:11.360 you want. Well, I'm looking forward to my trip there 1:17:11.360 --> 1:17:13.280 and feelings I was gonna say, I'm heading out there, 1:17:13.320 --> 1:17:17.360 so I'll let you guys. And no plastic straws. I 1:17:17.400 --> 1:17:20.519 hate that. Do you know what the percentages of plastic 1:17:20.560 --> 1:17:23.280 in the oceans that comes from the United States, It's 1:17:23.320 --> 1:17:27.200 like less than two percent. We basically put nola. We 1:17:27.280 --> 1:17:30.280 have stopped using plastic in this country for things that 1:17:30.360 --> 1:17:34.360 are useful under the idea that we are somehow trying 1:17:34.400 --> 1:17:37.160 to stop like sea turtles from choking, which I like 1:17:37.200 --> 1:17:40.040 sea turtles don't with them a choke. But the plastic 1:17:40.160 --> 1:17:42.040 is not coming from us, you know. The plastic is 1:17:42.040 --> 1:17:43.840 coming from is actually a lot of it is driven 1:17:43.840 --> 1:17:47.519 by major river systems into the ocean. And those major 1:17:47.640 --> 1:17:53.920 river systems are in Asia and Africa. That is where 1:17:54.360 --> 1:17:57.720 a vast majority of the plastic that is making its 1:17:57.760 --> 1:17:59.679 way in the oceans is coming from. Do you think 1:18:00.000 --> 1:18:03.320 are like, we're going to stop using plastic straws? This 1:18:03.360 --> 1:18:05.479 is what I mean. They don't. They don't think they're 1:18:05.920 --> 1:18:09.920 identify the problem, figure out the solution, see if the 1:18:10.000 --> 1:18:12.280 cost benefit analysis is worth it. They don't do this. 1:18:12.479 --> 1:18:14.599 They just go, oh, my gosh, there's a thing. And 1:18:14.680 --> 1:18:18.080 I have these preconceived notions about how I view the world, 1:18:18.360 --> 1:18:20.439 and then there's this problem. And I'm not going to 1:18:20.520 --> 1:18:22.880 look at whether the problem would actually even be addressed 1:18:22.880 --> 1:18:25.439 by the way I'm going to approach it. But it'll 1:18:25.479 --> 1:18:27.839 make me feel good because the problem is so scary. 1:18:28.280 --> 1:18:30.559 Climate change a perfect sample. It's but plastic in the oceans. 1:18:30.560 --> 1:18:33.759 Another one I tell them. I would tell libs, hey, 1:18:34.000 --> 1:18:36.040 you're not making things any better by doing this thing 1:18:36.040 --> 1:18:38.040 you're doing. And they would say, why do you want 1:18:38.080 --> 1:18:40.559 sea turtles to choke on plastic? And I'd say I don't. 1:18:40.600 --> 1:18:44.080 But they don't care. They don't care. There's no one is. 1:18:44.400 --> 1:18:46.960 It's getting harder and harder, folks. You know, I wish 1:18:47.040 --> 1:18:48.639 that there was even a place where you could have 1:18:49.040 --> 1:18:53.600 a reasonable, interesting debate with liberals on these issues. But 1:18:53.680 --> 1:18:56.599 you can anymore, because how do you debate with somebody who, 1:18:56.680 --> 1:18:58.479 when presenting with this, is just going to say, well, 1:18:58.479 --> 1:19:04.120 we have to show leadership. I mean liberalism today, progressivism 1:19:04.280 --> 1:19:07.920 is just drowning in its own sanctimony all the time, 1:19:07.960 --> 1:19:11.880 and it's just just as heaps of it, all of it. Oh, 1:19:11.920 --> 1:19:15.559 I'm so great, I'm so amazing. Why well it makes 1:19:15.560 --> 1:19:17.240 you so great and so amazing? Oh? Because I do 1:19:17.320 --> 1:19:23.599 these things that liberals do. Mmm, not good enough, not 1:19:23.680 --> 1:19:26.920 good enough. But then again they don't care because it 1:19:27.000 --> 1:19:32.800 feels so good. You're in the U. This is the 1:19:32.880 --> 1:19:40.120 Buck Sexton Show podcast. California's obviously got some very very 1:19:40.160 --> 1:19:43.000 bad ideas, but I wanted to just say that we're 1:19:43.040 --> 1:19:45.240 at the point now where maybe we should create a 1:19:45.840 --> 1:19:48.240 just a recurring segment on the show. Which is really 1:19:48.280 --> 1:19:53.120 bad ideas from Democrats running for president right now, like 1:19:53.160 --> 1:19:55.920 the things that they say that are not not just 1:19:55.920 --> 1:19:57.479 the things that are untrue run for it, but just 1:19:57.520 --> 1:20:01.320 the fact that they don't even really understand what the 1:20:01.479 --> 1:20:04.920 consequences would be of some of the things that they 1:20:05.120 --> 1:20:12.200 are very much pushing for. You have, for example, minimum 1:20:12.200 --> 1:20:16.000 wage is another great, a great example of this. Keep 1:20:16.040 --> 1:20:19.440 saying minimum wage is very popular, even conservatives or Republicans, 1:20:19.479 --> 1:20:23.719 you know, people like it. But minimum wage is something 1:20:23.760 --> 1:20:27.760 that does not work as advertised for most people. For 1:20:27.800 --> 1:20:29.840 some people, some people will make more money who are 1:20:29.880 --> 1:20:32.759 workers because of minimum wage. Some people have their hours 1:20:32.760 --> 1:20:34.960 cut back, some people will lose their jobs. Some people 1:20:34.960 --> 1:20:38.760 will have automation instituted that will either limit or cut 1:20:38.800 --> 1:20:41.840 back their arm. I mean, there's all these different ways 1:20:41.880 --> 1:20:47.000 of dealing with the imposition of cost via central planning, 1:20:47.000 --> 1:20:51.720 which is in fact what you have through the minimum wage. 1:20:52.439 --> 1:20:57.400 Senator Bernie Sanders does not care, and so he runs 1:20:57.400 --> 1:21:00.760 around saying that we need a what he calls a 1:21:00.880 --> 1:21:06.360 living minimum wage. Please play producer brand producer Mark, pardon me, 1:21:06.880 --> 1:21:11.080 clip eleven bottom line here is that we need a 1:21:11.160 --> 1:21:14.679 federal minimum wage for every state in this country, which 1:21:14.720 --> 1:21:19.400 is a living wage at least fifteen dollars an hour. Now, 1:21:19.520 --> 1:21:22.400 fifteen dollars an hour is not a lot of money, 1:21:22.600 --> 1:21:24.840 but it is better than seven and a quarter or 1:21:25.000 --> 1:21:28.920 nine or ten dollars an hour. Second thing we need 1:21:28.920 --> 1:21:34.280 to establish in America is that women must earn equal 1:21:34.560 --> 1:21:39.479 pay for equal work. All right, let's deal with both 1:21:39.479 --> 1:21:44.519 of these bad democrat ideas. Shall we equal pay for 1:21:44.760 --> 1:21:50.040 equal work? You have a fifteen dollars minimum wage? And 1:21:50.080 --> 1:21:53.080 we have to keep returning to this because people, it's 1:21:53.120 --> 1:21:56.240 I understand, there's an emotional So much of central planning, 1:21:56.280 --> 1:21:59.360 so much of socialism is push not by what works, 1:21:59.400 --> 1:22:02.240 but by what feels good or sounds good to people. 1:22:03.040 --> 1:22:05.639 And I understand why so many would say, look, can 1:22:05.680 --> 1:22:07.240 we get a little more money to people who are 1:22:07.280 --> 1:22:09.840 If you're working for in an hourly job, you know 1:22:09.960 --> 1:22:12.000 chances are I mean, yeah, there are people at law 1:22:12.040 --> 1:22:13.760 firms that are making eight hundred dollars an hour. Although 1:22:13.840 --> 1:22:15.720 usually they don't get to keep a big piece of that. 1:22:15.760 --> 1:22:17.160 They get to keep a small percentage of it. If 1:22:17.160 --> 1:22:19.120 they're working at a big firm. But usually if you're 1:22:19.160 --> 1:22:23.439 an hourly worker, tend not to be making a very 1:22:23.520 --> 1:22:26.280 high wage. And so you know, when you're talking about 1:22:26.320 --> 1:22:29.639 hourly workers, anybody who's making minimum wage, or rather who's 1:22:29.640 --> 1:22:33.280 affected by minimum wage legislation is going to be someone 1:22:33.320 --> 1:22:36.640 who benefits from this. And you want to help those people, right. 1:22:36.680 --> 1:22:39.280 You want people they're shown up doing a job, being productive, 1:22:39.320 --> 1:22:41.360 doing what they're supposed to do. You want them to 1:22:41.400 --> 1:22:43.240 have what they need and to be able to get ahead. 1:22:45.080 --> 1:22:49.080 Of course, getting ahead financially also involves decision making and 1:22:49.920 --> 1:22:52.720 planning and some degree of luck. These are all things 1:22:52.720 --> 1:22:54.720 that people don't talk about on the left. They just 1:22:55.320 --> 1:22:57.120 pretend that there's a way that we can all be 1:22:57.200 --> 1:23:01.200 living in some glorious future where there's no deprivation, there's 1:23:01.240 --> 1:23:06.080 no economic insecurity, there's no want or need that is 1:23:06.120 --> 1:23:10.880 not met by the dictates of the state. Fifteen dollar 1:23:10.920 --> 1:23:15.439 minimum wage, let's deal this one real quick. Why not thirty? 1:23:16.960 --> 1:23:21.400 Why not fifty? Because and then they would say, oh, 1:23:21.439 --> 1:23:25.040 that's absurd. It's say, okay, it's absurd. Why it's absurd 1:23:25.160 --> 1:23:29.080 Because at some point the cost is too high for 1:23:29.200 --> 1:23:30.920 the business to even be able to function at all. 1:23:32.120 --> 1:23:34.599 And so then you say, well, and I haven't even 1:23:34.600 --> 1:23:36.840 brought up how well, in some cases maybe they it'll 1:23:36.840 --> 1:23:38.479 be good for workers, But then you're just passing the 1:23:38.520 --> 1:23:41.840 costs on to the consumer. So I mean, the money 1:23:41.880 --> 1:23:45.559 is coming from somewhere, because ultimately the cost is the cost. Ultimately, 1:23:45.560 --> 1:23:49.559 the market has determined what the cost of labor is 1:23:49.640 --> 1:23:51.719 for a certain kind of job in a certain place. 1:23:52.280 --> 1:23:55.640 And you know, you're either going to accept that and 1:23:55.760 --> 1:23:57.599 let the market determine it, or you're going to make 1:23:57.640 --> 1:24:00.720 a determination external to those market forces, based upon what 1:24:00.760 --> 1:24:05.759 you think is fair, what you think is right, based 1:24:05.840 --> 1:24:10.800 upon you know, what people feel really, which is what 1:24:10.880 --> 1:24:13.680 this is. Bernie Sander fifteen dollars an hour. You know, 1:24:13.720 --> 1:24:15.439 that's just a number that he's picked out of out 1:24:15.439 --> 1:24:17.760 of the air. I mean, you could do this with 1:24:17.760 --> 1:24:20.200 any number of things. What would happen if you said, 1:24:20.240 --> 1:24:23.599 you know what, guys, let's just make let's just make 1:24:23.680 --> 1:24:27.800 all you know, you can't have a in a part, 1:24:27.880 --> 1:24:32.120 or you can't have a house that is you know, 1:24:32.640 --> 1:24:35.400 two bedrooms are less that cost more than one hundred 1:24:35.400 --> 1:24:38.759 thousand dollars. Okay, well, in some places maybe that wouldn't 1:24:38.760 --> 1:24:39.920 be such a big deal. But in most places it 1:24:39.920 --> 1:24:43.080 will be a huge problem across the country. And what 1:24:43.120 --> 1:24:45.719 would happen if you set that artificial price for housing? 1:24:45.760 --> 1:24:49.320 You would have massive housing shortages. Builders wouldn't be able 1:24:49.360 --> 1:24:50.679 to you know, wouldn't be able to make a profit. 1:24:50.720 --> 1:24:52.519 They wouldn't be able you know, you get on the 1:24:52.560 --> 1:24:55.959 whole list. Right. There are all these There are forces 1:24:56.000 --> 1:24:58.200 that are at work beyond just the dictates of the 1:24:58.200 --> 1:25:01.439 government when it comes to decisions like this. And yet 1:25:01.479 --> 1:25:07.280 Bernie Sanders pretends that it can just be a decision 1:25:07.280 --> 1:25:09.160 made by government in this way. Yeah, I'm not saying that. 1:25:09.200 --> 1:25:11.320 You know that they raise a minimum wage, everything, everything's 1:25:11.360 --> 1:25:14.280 gonna be catastrophic and then everyone's gonna go out of business. No, 1:25:14.360 --> 1:25:18.160 of course not. But there will be problems that come 1:25:18.240 --> 1:25:20.560 from this. And it doesn't also deal with some of 1:25:20.600 --> 1:25:23.920 the underlying issues of well if somebody, if someone's labor 1:25:24.000 --> 1:25:28.280 is worth seven fifty an hour and we start paying 1:25:28.280 --> 1:25:30.200 them fifteen dollars an hour, it doesn't deal with you, well, 1:25:30.240 --> 1:25:32.320 what about the fact that labor is only worth seven 1:25:32.320 --> 1:25:33.920 dollars and fifty cents an hour? This is what pushes 1:25:33.920 --> 1:25:36.680 people to automation companies. I mean to automation. This is 1:25:36.720 --> 1:25:39.800 what has other forces that are at work that you 1:25:39.800 --> 1:25:43.360 don't necessarily see, just based on the take home pay 1:25:43.400 --> 1:25:45.679 of certain people that are affected by minum wage. Anyway, 1:25:45.680 --> 1:25:48.559 this is it's another one democrat idea. But people like 1:25:48.680 --> 1:25:52.120 this one minimum wage. You gotta have a minimum wage, 1:25:52.560 --> 1:25:58.240 all right, and then there's equal pay. I don't know 1:25:58.280 --> 1:25:59.800 how to really deal with this other than just say 1:26:00.479 --> 1:26:04.559 it's a lie. They know it's a lie. They don't care. 1:26:05.280 --> 1:26:10.040 They keep saying that, you know, equal pay is a 1:26:10.080 --> 1:26:12.160 problem that needs to be dealt with via legislation. They 1:26:12.240 --> 1:26:16.280 keep saying that equal pay is something that the government 1:26:16.320 --> 1:26:18.920 must take action on. The reality is that whenever you 1:26:18.920 --> 1:26:21.479 look at a study of this, whenever you see people 1:26:21.520 --> 1:26:24.840 really crunching the numbers, women are not paid less for 1:26:24.920 --> 1:26:28.160 doing the same work as men. That's just not how 1:26:28.360 --> 1:26:34.639 that's not how employment works. There's not the reality of 1:26:34.720 --> 1:26:37.519 the employment market. Because if you had, first of all, 1:26:37.520 --> 1:26:39.800 you have more women graduating from college right now, for example, 1:26:39.880 --> 1:26:44.959 and you do men. So there's already an enormous influx 1:26:45.000 --> 1:26:47.759 of college educated females into the workplace all across the country. 1:26:49.320 --> 1:26:52.120 If you line up the comparison, so that's apples to apples. 1:26:53.080 --> 1:26:56.880 You'll see that this just isn't there's no, it is 1:26:56.880 --> 1:27:01.599 not rooted in reality. But you can also just look 1:27:01.640 --> 1:27:03.639 at it and say, well, if I could save thirty percent, 1:27:03.720 --> 1:27:05.240 this is the quickest way, the same way that I 1:27:05.240 --> 1:27:08.479 know that climate change is nonsense, the way the Libs 1:27:08.479 --> 1:27:10.439 talk about it and set it up, because they're not 1:27:10.439 --> 1:27:12.640 going to sell me. They're not going to sell me 1:27:12.680 --> 1:27:15.519 a house in Malibu for a fraction of the cost 1:27:15.640 --> 1:27:18.200 right now because of climate change right on the beach, man, 1:27:18.960 --> 1:27:21.320 that water is gonna be rising really fast. If we're 1:27:21.320 --> 1:27:23.680 gonna be all dead or are starting in well, not 1:27:23.720 --> 1:27:25.439 all dead quite in twelve years, but if we're on 1:27:25.479 --> 1:27:28.679 a path to the eradication of the species in twelve years, 1:27:28.760 --> 1:27:31.160 that's not very long. You're gonna be along the coastline. 1:27:31.160 --> 1:27:34.280 That's gonna be a big problem. Right. No, when it 1:27:34.320 --> 1:27:37.439 comes down to it, when the truth of what they 1:27:37.560 --> 1:27:41.120 say is a disadvantage to them, they ignore what they 1:27:41.120 --> 1:27:44.040 are saying. When you take it to its logical lens, 1:27:44.040 --> 1:27:46.160 it no longer matters. With equal pay, you can have 1:27:46.200 --> 1:27:51.639 a similar experiment. All you do is say, okay, well, 1:27:52.320 --> 1:27:54.360 if I can save thirty percent of my labor costs. 1:27:54.360 --> 1:27:58.080 And I'm a aggressive capitalist, somebody who wants to make 1:27:58.120 --> 1:27:59.479 a lot of money, who wants my business to behind 1:27:59.520 --> 1:28:02.360 the effective. You know what I do. I just hire 1:28:02.360 --> 1:28:05.280 only women. They're doing the same work. It'd be great. 1:28:05.800 --> 1:28:09.080 I mean, I love producer Mark, but if we could 1:28:09.120 --> 1:28:11.360 cut thirty percent of the labor costs by getting somebody 1:28:11.400 --> 1:28:14.880 just who happens to be the female producer Mark to 1:28:14.960 --> 1:28:18.280 come in here, and we cut thirty percent of the salary, 1:28:18.640 --> 1:28:21.120 that would be a pretty enticing thing for executives. By 1:28:21.120 --> 1:28:24.519 the way, we Marquette, what would we call her? I'm 1:28:24.560 --> 1:28:26.599 not sure. Yeah, do I have to get a gender 1:28:26.640 --> 1:28:29.479 reassignment to keep my job? Now? I'm just telling you, 1:28:29.520 --> 1:28:31.800 man that if we could save thirty percent, you'd fire 1:28:31.840 --> 1:28:34.160 me in a second. I mean, I'm not saying I would, 1:28:34.200 --> 1:28:37.120 but somebody would. If we could save thirty percent on 1:28:37.240 --> 1:28:39.680 you you know, and it's true of me too. If 1:28:39.680 --> 1:28:42.599 they could have female Buck doing the radio show, same show, true, 1:28:42.800 --> 1:28:45.840 same host, same numbers, you know, same same sponsorships and 1:28:45.880 --> 1:28:47.960 money coming in the show, they say thirty percent, of 1:28:47.960 --> 1:28:50.519 course they would find you know, it would be crazy nuts. 1:28:50.640 --> 1:28:53.320 Just get a male or female worse than us us. Yeah, 1:28:53.400 --> 1:28:55.479 but people don't do this, And the reason they don't 1:28:55.479 --> 1:28:58.559 do this is because the underlying premise is not true. 1:28:58.920 --> 1:29:00.960 I don't like premise being that, you know, women are 1:29:01.000 --> 1:29:03.640 just paid less because they're women, because there's this patriarchy 1:29:03.680 --> 1:29:06.639 and all this stuff. But it's something that sounds good 1:29:06.640 --> 1:29:09.479 at Democrats, so they keep saying it even though the 1:29:09.600 --> 1:29:12.360 reality is not what they offer up. The reality is 1:29:12.400 --> 1:29:16.559 not what they say. And at some point, you know, 1:29:16.640 --> 1:29:18.439 we just have to look at this and say, when 1:29:18.520 --> 1:29:21.400 is when is the meeting? Was? When is the meeting? 1:29:21.439 --> 1:29:22.960 In the met is never gonna call them out of this. 1:29:23.000 --> 1:29:27.160 I'm never gonna say, oh, we we've finally, we finally 1:29:27.200 --> 1:29:29.920 figured out that we should stop being so dishonest about this. 1:29:30.040 --> 1:29:32.479 No, no no, no, of course, not because they have an agenda, folks. 1:29:32.760 --> 1:29:36.559 They're activists, not journalists.

We want 1:30:18.920 --> 1:30:21.320 to do more Shields High podcasts on History. We're gonna 1:30:21.320 --> 1:30:23.360 set up a YouTube channel. I got a book that's 1:30:23.360 --> 1:30:26.400 coming out. We gotta have more people. Watch Pluto TV 1:30:26.560 --> 1:30:33.519 Channel two forty Channel two forty eight, the first. The 1:30:33.600 --> 1:30:35.320 first is the best channel on Pluto TV. There there's 1:30:35.320 --> 1:30:36.840 a lot of channel on Pluto TV. You could check out. 1:30:36.840 --> 1:30:40.160 You should be watching the first on Pluto TV. It's 1:30:40.160 --> 1:30:42.479 just because I had a break and I've been sick 1:30:42.520 --> 1:30:44.479 for like ten days. I'm finally now you can hear 1:30:44.520 --> 1:30:47.000 my voice is pretty normal. I had a cold that 1:30:47.080 --> 1:30:49.599 just would not would not stop, and went through these 1:30:49.640 --> 1:30:51.960 phases where I thought I was like almost better, and 1:30:52.000 --> 1:30:55.200 then something else would hurt and be bad, and ugh, 1:30:55.479 --> 1:30:58.720 I know, woe is me. Jane kicks it off here. 1:30:58.760 --> 1:31:02.080 Hey Buck, I love you and wish we had lots 1:31:02.120 --> 1:31:07.800 more little Bucks. Whoa hey, oh spicy in the Freedom Hunt. 1:31:07.960 --> 1:31:10.840 But I keep Christmas decorations up until Twelfth Night, which 1:31:10.880 --> 1:31:15.519 is January sixth, the time the King's visited Jesus in 1:31:15.560 --> 1:31:17.800 the manger. I think this is about the same time 1:31:17.800 --> 1:31:22.240 the Greek Orthodox celebrate Christmas. Jane I had my I 1:31:22.280 --> 1:31:24.439 had a little mini Christmas tree, which some people say 1:31:24.560 --> 1:31:26.200 it might be sad, but it's not sacks. In New 1:31:26.240 --> 1:31:27.840 York City, you're in a mini apartment, you gotta have 1:31:27.840 --> 1:31:30.519 a mini Christmas tree. I had a mini tree. And 1:31:30.640 --> 1:31:38.479 the tree came down yesterday, so you know, I kept 1:31:38.479 --> 1:31:40.280 it for a while. I kept it into the New Year, 1:31:40.280 --> 1:31:41.439 but a little bit. But it started to get to 1:31:41.439 --> 1:31:43.240 the point where it was dried out and all the 1:31:43.280 --> 1:31:46.600 little um a little pine needles were falling off of 1:31:46.640 --> 1:31:49.720 it all over the place. So that's no fun. Can't 1:31:50.000 --> 1:31:52.680 can't have a messy a messy freedom hunt. So we 1:31:52.720 --> 1:31:54.559 had to get rid of it. But good, good things 1:31:54.600 --> 1:32:00.280 all around, good things, good things, Mike, Nancy Pelosi is 1:32:00.320 --> 1:32:03.760 going to sit on the impeachment paperwork until she knows 1:32:03.800 --> 1:32:06.000 for sure that Trump is going to win the election. 1:32:06.640 --> 1:32:09.400 Then she'll pull out the impeachment paperwork and attempt to 1:32:09.439 --> 1:32:11.200 keep him from serving another term. What do you think? 1:32:11.920 --> 1:32:15.160 Check out Memories of the Alhambra. It's on Netflix from 1:32:15.200 --> 1:32:19.679 Mike um Mike I don't know. I don't know if 1:32:20.960 --> 1:32:26.799 that's I gotta think about that a little bit. That's possible, 1:32:27.439 --> 1:32:29.800 It's possible. I think she look, I still obviously have 1:32:29.880 --> 1:32:32.200 made my made my bet, made my bed, so to speak. 1:32:32.240 --> 1:32:34.200 I think that she's going to have to transmit them 1:32:34.240 --> 1:32:36.280 at some point. I don't think she can trans meet them. 1:32:36.280 --> 1:32:39.440 It sounds like Vladimir trans meet this to Vladimir from Medvedev. 1:32:41.200 --> 1:32:43.120 It seems to me like she has no choice eventually. 1:32:43.120 --> 1:32:47.080 But maybe I'm wrong. Usually when I say that though 1:32:47.120 --> 1:32:49.400 I'm not as you guys know, so like the sort 1:32:49.400 --> 1:32:51.320 of false humility of maybe I'm wrong, it usually works 1:32:51.320 --> 1:32:55.040 out of my favor. Boo. Yeah, uh, let's see what 1:32:55.080 --> 1:32:57.880 we have next in the mix here, Oh in Alhambray. 1:32:57.920 --> 1:33:00.439 I'll check that out on Netflix, you know to do that. 1:33:01.280 --> 1:33:05.559 Kenneth south Front ran a story on the Ukrainian Armed 1:33:05.600 --> 1:33:09.799 Forces back in December. When the discussing the Javelin anti 1:33:09.840 --> 1:33:13.240 tank guided missiles, they stated that these have yet to 1:33:13.240 --> 1:33:17.240 be used in combat and seen to be held in reserve. Well, Kenneth, 1:33:17.960 --> 1:33:21.639 this has come up before they are held in reserve 1:33:21.760 --> 1:33:25.559 because now there's an understanding with the Russian with the 1:33:25.640 --> 1:33:30.520 Russian provision of armored personnel carriers and tanks and things 1:33:30.560 --> 1:33:33.080 that they will be destroyed if they are used in 1:33:33.120 --> 1:33:37.120 an offensive capacity. So it's kind of like the assurance 1:33:37.200 --> 1:33:40.839 of destruction from knowing that they have and can deploy 1:33:41.280 --> 1:33:46.720 these missiles to destroy armor has neutralized the advantage, the 1:33:46.840 --> 1:33:51.840 clear advantage that the Russian backed Ukrainian separatists had from 1:33:51.880 --> 1:33:55.320 having Russian provided armor, if that makes sense. So just 1:33:55.400 --> 1:33:58.240 knowing that they are there is a has now been 1:33:58.280 --> 1:34:01.160 an impediment to their use. So that has been highly 1:34:01.240 --> 1:34:07.759 highly effective in that regard. Let's see here we have 1:34:09.320 --> 1:34:13.320 Kyle Buck. I appreciate Joe Biden simply for the comparison 1:34:13.360 --> 1:34:15.640 he allows us to make look a President Trump is 1:34:15.640 --> 1:34:18.960 actually being impeached for basically nothing. Now imagine what actually 1:34:18.960 --> 1:34:21.320 happened was the FBI, on Trump's watch, used a false 1:34:21.360 --> 1:34:24.479 foreign source as a predicate to get a secret visor 1:34:24.479 --> 1:34:28.280 warrant to wiretap Hunter Biden's associates, and by virtue of 1:34:28.280 --> 1:34:30.800 the two hop rule, listening on Joe Biden himself, heads 1:34:30.800 --> 1:34:34.040 would explode. Great show is always merry Christmas, Thanks Kyle, 1:34:34.600 --> 1:34:39.599 and indeed appreciate your analysis on that one.

Well, that sounds like shields low to me 1:36:13.240 --> 1:36:16.160 at Producer Mark, What is going on here? Do we 1:36:16.200 --> 1:36:18.599 know that this happened? I mean I can go back 1:36:18.600 --> 1:36:21.840 and listen, but nothing changed, nothing changed on it. I 1:36:21.880 --> 1:36:24.160 don't know, man, we gotta because I didn't hear that 1:36:24.160 --> 1:36:27.439 from anybody else. So usually I will I take listen, 1:36:29.200 --> 1:36:31.759 I will listen. We should actually have like a little 1:36:32.040 --> 1:36:33.640 what we do. Want to set up a camera here 1:36:33.680 --> 1:36:35.400 so you guys can see a producer Mark. That's that's 1:36:35.520 --> 1:36:37.360 that's a Christmas present. I haven't given him yet, but 1:36:37.360 --> 1:36:38.760 we're working on it. But we all want to set 1:36:38.840 --> 1:36:41.280 up a little producer Mark complaint jar And every time 1:36:41.320 --> 1:36:42.800 we get with these emails, you get a drop like 1:36:42.880 --> 1:36:45.000 you know, drive a quarter in there or something. At 1:36:45.040 --> 1:36:47.320 the end of the you know, we'll go out, we'll 1:36:47.360 --> 1:36:50.320 get a lot of quotes, we'll go we'll get gluten 1:36:50.320 --> 1:36:52.320 free Chinese food together at the end of the year 1:36:52.360 --> 1:36:55.160 with the with the brucer Mark free Chinese food is 1:36:55.200 --> 1:36:57.920 that it's good. It's just Chinese foods that doesn't have 1:36:58.160 --> 1:37:00.000 But I can't think of anything Chinese food other than 1:37:00.120 --> 1:37:04.080 like general so chicken or something. Chinese food is all gluten. Like, 1:37:04.160 --> 1:37:09.759 it's all glutena soy sauce. Okay, So everything has either 1:37:10.240 --> 1:37:12.760 flour or soy sauce or both. A lot of it 1:37:12.800 --> 1:37:15.280 has both. But if you just replace the flour and 1:37:15.320 --> 1:37:18.800 replace the soy sauce, then like nothing in Chinese food 1:37:18.800 --> 1:37:22.080 has gluten because of the ingredients because rice rice is fine. 1:37:22.320 --> 1:37:23.920 I was thinking like chicken and brocoli, but I forgot 1:37:23.920 --> 1:37:26.040 about the soy sauce. Yeah, the soy sauce, and that's 1:37:26.040 --> 1:37:29.280 where you get nailed um. So yeah, all but tamari sauce. 1:37:29.439 --> 1:37:31.840 I've it tastes just like soy sauce. I cannot tell 1:37:31.840 --> 1:37:33.680 the difference. And that's all. You change that and you're 1:37:33.680 --> 1:37:35.519 good to go. It looks like soy sauce. Taste like 1:37:35.560 --> 1:37:38.439 soy sauce. People think that they're like they think gluten 1:37:38.520 --> 1:37:40.679 free is like fat free. Fat free is gross. Fat 1:37:40.680 --> 1:37:42.760 free food is bad when they take the fat out 1:37:42.800 --> 1:37:45.040 of food, very bad when they use fake sugar and 1:37:45.120 --> 1:37:48.439 things very bad. Gluten free is just different. It's just different. 1:37:49.200 --> 1:37:51.400 I would try gluten free Chinese food. No gluten free 1:37:51.400 --> 1:37:54.240 pizza other than calif flower pizza not happening. Yeah, yeah, 1:37:54.320 --> 1:37:59.439 well we'll make it happen. Richard Buck Happy, who's your hellos? 1:37:59.680 --> 1:38:01.960 From the third shift? I would be at a great 1:38:02.000 --> 1:38:03.720 Christmas and happy New Year's in a birthday. I want 1:38:03.760 --> 1:38:05.800 to start to try and get your show added to 1:38:05.840 --> 1:38:09.560 local talk radio show local talk radio station here in Raleigh. 1:38:09.720 --> 1:38:11.280 Do you have any pointers on what to say or 1:38:11.320 --> 1:38:13.120 who to talk to you at a radio station? Right now? 1:38:13.200 --> 1:38:16.559 Nine pm to midnight slot is all podcasts, which would 1:38:16.560 --> 1:38:19.040 be good if they were only your podcast? Is there 1:38:19.080 --> 1:38:21.960 a certain person who decides radio programming? Keep up the 1:38:21.960 --> 1:38:24.639 awesome work and shields high Well, Richard, You're certainly welcome 1:38:24.680 --> 1:38:29.200 to write into you the local radio affiliate and request 1:38:30.040 --> 1:38:33.400 that the person would be called the program director or 1:38:33.600 --> 1:38:37.639 sometimes it's a station manager, depends on the station. But yeah, 1:38:37.640 --> 1:38:39.720 the program director is usually the one who determines what 1:38:39.840 --> 1:38:42.479 shows go where. And I would certainly love Raleigh's a 1:38:42.479 --> 1:38:44.240 great town. I would love to be added to any station. 1:38:44.360 --> 1:38:46.559 I don't are we on a station or Raleigh already though, No, 1:38:46.640 --> 1:38:49.439 we're not, okay, So yeah, put us in Raleigh. That'd 1:38:49.479 --> 1:38:51.639 be great, you know, Richard, get some of your buddies 1:38:51.640 --> 1:38:53.080 to send an emails too, at least get us on 1:38:53.120 --> 1:38:55.519 the radar of the folks there. But there you go. 1:38:58.200 --> 1:39:02.120 Michael writes in with this has your name written all 1:39:02.160 --> 1:39:07.280 over it. Wow. He sent a photo of big strips 1:39:08.040 --> 1:39:12.160 of chocolate covered bacon. You know, we're just talking yesterday 1:39:12.160 --> 1:39:15.360 about bacon bar in New York and how bacon can 1:39:15.360 --> 1:39:18.040 even be mixed into ice cream. I have had at 1:39:18.080 --> 1:39:22.640 I think it was Voodoo Donut in Portland, Oregon. I 1:39:22.800 --> 1:39:28.760 had a maple glazed donut with bacon topping, which was 1:39:28.800 --> 1:39:30.080 and this is when I used to eat luten. This 1:39:30.160 --> 1:39:32.040 is right before I figured out I had Celiac disease. 1:39:32.840 --> 1:39:35.400 It was amazing. I will say so when it's when 1:39:35.400 --> 1:39:37.720 it's done properly, it's really good. I recently went to 1:39:37.800 --> 1:39:40.519 a Brazilian steakhouse and you know how they have like 1:39:40.560 --> 1:39:44.000 the salad bar, which isn't really salad. At a Brazilian steakhouse, 1:39:44.040 --> 1:39:47.640 they had maple glazed bacon. Oh yeah, it was. That's amazing. Oh, 1:39:47.640 --> 1:39:51.920 it's amazing. The best thing at the Trump International Hotel 1:39:51.960 --> 1:39:55.240 in DC, which is actually a great hotel. It's really nice. 1:39:55.760 --> 1:40:00.519 The best thing there is the bacon that they pull 1:40:00.520 --> 1:40:02.360 out and they have it hanging almost like on a 1:40:02.400 --> 1:40:04.479 clothes line, like you're getting your clothing to dry out 1:40:04.520 --> 1:40:07.360 back in the day. And they take a little flame gun, 1:40:08.000 --> 1:40:11.280 a little flamethrower like thing, and they in front of 1:40:11.280 --> 1:40:14.880 you they sort of flamed the bacon, um, I guess 1:40:14.920 --> 1:40:16.840 also known as cooking it. But no, there they flame 1:40:16.880 --> 1:40:19.320 it and it's already been glazed with some sweet sauce. 1:40:21.080 --> 1:40:23.040 It's worth the like twenty five bucks or whatever is 1:40:23.080 --> 1:40:27.519 expensive that is. That is not a cheap hotel. Roger, Right, 1:40:27.520 --> 1:40:30.760 it's looking forward another year, Buck, Roger. So are we man, 1:40:30.840 --> 1:40:34.439 We're still here, Brucer Mark, producer Buck, we are still employed. 1:40:35.400 --> 1:40:37.840 We got a producer Nick doing Overwatch for us. He's 1:40:37.880 --> 1:40:40.439 kind of like our sniper from like, you know, from 1:40:40.600 --> 1:40:44.280 behind the front assault team. You know, he's making he's like, oh, 1:40:44.360 --> 1:40:47.400 doing Overwatch for us, making sure. Producer Mark is clearly 1:40:47.439 --> 1:40:50.120 the machine gunner of this fire team. And you know, 1:40:50.160 --> 1:40:53.120 I guess I'm the guy on point with the with 1:40:53.160 --> 1:40:55.600 the M four by Producer Mark he's he's he's a 1:40:56.080 --> 1:40:58.080 he's a heavy gunner, you know what I mean. We 1:40:58.160 --> 1:41:02.479 got producer Nick doing the sniper situation and I'm I'm 1:41:02.520 --> 1:41:07.400 a sault team kicking to the door. Taylor rights, How 1:41:07.520 --> 1:41:10.320 is PBR? I've been to one. It's the best event 1:41:10.400 --> 1:41:13.960 I've ever been to. It was constant entertainment and the 1:41:14.000 --> 1:41:17.000 best of the best performers. UFC events are a close 1:41:17.040 --> 1:41:19.479 second with the PBR stands out above the rest, you know, Taylor. 1:41:19.520 --> 1:41:21.040 I mean, I talked to this a little bit yesterday, 1:41:21.080 --> 1:41:25.240 but I'd say that, you know, PBR one of the 1:41:25.280 --> 1:41:27.720 great things that has going for it is that the 1:41:28.280 --> 1:41:32.080 people involved in it are like everyone's just there to 1:41:32.240 --> 1:41:34.320 like have everyone's very support, everyone's there to have a 1:41:34.320 --> 1:41:39.400 good time. It's a very unpretentious thing, very pretentious crowd. 1:41:39.400 --> 1:41:41.000 You know. You go to a lot of these events now, 1:41:41.360 --> 1:41:43.920 and I went to a Knicks game recently, and you 1:41:44.000 --> 1:41:47.760 go to events and you'll see people and they're all 1:41:48.080 --> 1:41:51.360 everyone's in like their corporate suites and there's people are 1:41:51.360 --> 1:41:53.760 spending so much money on these events and so much 1:41:53.840 --> 1:41:56.160 money to be there, and I mean, like PBR, it 1:41:56.280 --> 1:41:58.519 just had a much more relaxed atmosphere. You know, the 1:41:59.040 --> 1:42:01.760 security guards the more like it's PBR, go for it. 1:42:01.840 --> 1:42:03.720 You know, you kind of move around, take photos. They 1:42:03.760 --> 1:42:06.680 weren't checking your ticket stub every five seconds. It's just 1:42:06.720 --> 1:42:13.920 a it's a very welcoming atmosphere because they just want 1:42:13.920 --> 1:42:16.000 people to be there and check it out. And you know, 1:42:16.000 --> 1:42:19.040 they got the guy who's the I don't know if 1:42:19.040 --> 1:42:20.720 you call him the head clown, I don't know. My 1:42:20.800 --> 1:42:23.160 dad is a wealth of knowledge about PBR, watches a 1:42:23.160 --> 1:42:25.880 lot of PBR. Knows the riders. He actually gets very excited. 1:42:25.920 --> 1:42:28.519 He knows quite a bit about the bulls I'm producing Mark. 1:42:28.560 --> 1:42:29.920 I will tell you know that the bulls get a 1:42:29.960 --> 1:42:32.599 score that the highest scores fifty points for the rider, 1:42:32.640 --> 1:42:34.479 fifty points for the bull. The bull gets a score 1:42:34.560 --> 1:42:38.280 as well. What kind of reward does the bull get? Um, 1:42:38.320 --> 1:42:40.800 I don't know, actually that's a good question. But there 1:42:40.800 --> 1:42:44.439 are bulls that are like the most formidable of the bulls, 1:42:44.479 --> 1:42:47.360 So like do they advertise like see this bull and 1:42:47.520 --> 1:42:50.280 Madison Square guard. People know that the bulls have cool names, 1:42:50.520 --> 1:42:53.759 you know, and they there are bulls like horse racing, 1:42:53.800 --> 1:42:55.760 like you're going to Belmont to see a specific horse. Now, 1:42:56.200 --> 1:42:59.360 the horse is obviously the superstar, and the jockey no 1:42:59.400 --> 1:43:02.519 one knows. I we know the jockey's names really big 1:43:02.520 --> 1:43:04.600 into horse racing. People get I mean those are the 1:43:04.600 --> 1:43:06.880 only people, but people will know because the horses also 1:43:06.920 --> 1:43:10.840 get these cool names, like you know, I don't know Secretariat, 1:43:10.960 --> 1:43:13.479 Yeah exactly, thank you for pulling one up there because 1:43:13.479 --> 1:43:15.360 I was blanking out. But they have cool would you 1:43:15.400 --> 1:43:17.400 recently had a triple crown winner? I could not tell 1:43:17.400 --> 1:43:19.400 you the name of it. The horse, Yeah, it would 1:43:19.400 --> 1:43:20.719 just be interesting to see, like what are the coolest 1:43:20.800 --> 1:43:23.439 names that the horses have happened? They're very cool names. Yeah, 1:43:23.479 --> 1:43:25.479 the bulls are. The riders are certainly more famous than 1:43:25.520 --> 1:43:28.439 the bulls are. But the bulls get a they get 1:43:28.439 --> 1:43:30.920 a score, and you know, there's a little bit also 1:43:30.960 --> 1:43:33.760 of like there there is a certain degree of risk 1:43:33.800 --> 1:43:35.639 and danger in this whole process too, and so when 1:43:35.640 --> 1:43:39.040 sometimes the people get the riders get stomped on. You know, 1:43:39.040 --> 1:43:45.800 there's a big background in of Brazilian riders. There's a 1:43:45.840 --> 1:43:47.960 lot of Brazilians in PBRs. I think it is interesting. 1:43:48.000 --> 1:43:49.240 They just have a culture of it there. I guess 1:43:49.280 --> 1:43:51.840 it's kind of the almost like I know, Gauchos are 1:43:51.960 --> 1:43:56.479 Argentine Argentine cowboys, but the gaucho and Brazilian version of 1:43:56.479 --> 1:43:59.960 that whatever it's called. Um, they have a big tradition 1:44:00.200 --> 1:44:01.720 it there. I did not know that. It's not just 1:44:01.760 --> 1:44:04.479 a texting. Was not aware of that. Milliwauke A, which 1:44:04.520 --> 1:44:09.000 means the good Land. Um so yeah, Well, Milwaukee's had 1:44:09.000 --> 1:44:12.519 its fair share of visitors. Uh so, Yeah, I mean 1:44:12.640 --> 1:44:14.600 PBR is really cool. I highly recommend you guys go 1:44:14.680 --> 1:44:16.479 check it out. I had a great time there, and 1:44:16.640 --> 1:44:19.320 it's if it's something you've never done, it's an experience 1:44:19.360 --> 1:44:21.800 you should definitely have at some point. It's just fun. 1:44:21.880 --> 1:44:24.360 It's fun to get, fun to go see. I've really 1:44:24.400 --> 1:44:28.439 been making an effort recently to go see more stuff, 1:44:28.880 --> 1:44:32.080 to go do more than in New York City. Yeah, 1:44:32.160 --> 1:44:34.320 you know, I mean I'm just burning through like whatever, 1:44:34.439 --> 1:44:36.720 you know, retirement money I would have right now going 1:44:36.760 --> 1:44:38.799 to see like PBR and things like that. Just PBR. 1:44:38.880 --> 1:44:40.639 You haven't seen any shows lately, you don't you live 1:44:40.760 --> 1:44:42.280 right in that general? Oh I saw, I went, I 1:44:42.280 --> 1:44:44.479 saw Mulin Rouge at about that. That is not what 1:44:44.520 --> 1:44:48.599 I was expecting. That was, you know, I took a friend, 1:44:48.640 --> 1:44:51.120 I meant like dear Evan Hansen, you know, come from 1:44:51.120 --> 1:44:53.880 away stuff like that. Oh, like like what the prophisticated 1:44:53.960 --> 1:44:56.240 like fancy, Well, Mulan Rouge is on Broadway. Oh yeah, 1:44:56.240 --> 1:44:58.240 that's what I'm talking about. Oh, it's the Broadway production 1:44:58.280 --> 1:45:00.080 of it. Yeah, oh yeah, I didn't. I didn't ow. 1:45:00.439 --> 1:45:03.160 I was like sitting there by myself taking notes. Seem 1:45:03.360 --> 1:45:05.240 if I lived in Manhattan, I would just be doing 1:45:05.240 --> 1:45:07.360 all the lotteries constantly and like just trying to win 1:45:07.400 --> 1:45:09.600 stuff so I could get cheap show. How do you 1:45:09.640 --> 1:45:12.320 do that? There's online services where you sign up online 1:45:12.320 --> 1:45:14.360 and if you win the lottery, you get an email 1:45:14.400 --> 1:45:16.519 and you got twenty dollars tickets or however. It's different 1:45:16.520 --> 1:45:19.439 for every show, but really like the Hamilton lottery is 1:45:19.479 --> 1:45:23.879 the cheapest but hardest to win. Huh. I haven't seen Hamilton. 1:45:24.040 --> 1:45:25.479 I haven't either. I kind of want to see it, 1:45:25.520 --> 1:45:27.120 just because I have a feeling that I may not 1:45:27.240 --> 1:45:28.640 like it, and I don't think you're gonna like it 1:45:28.720 --> 1:45:30.800 very much. I have a feeling I'm probably not going 1:45:30.840 --> 1:45:33.440 to be that just given all the hype around here. 1:45:33.600 --> 1:45:36.639 History buff so you would get the stuff you get it? Yeah? Correct? 1:45:37.200 --> 1:45:39.280 I also, you know, I saw The Book of Mormon, 1:45:39.320 --> 1:45:42.280 which people thought was so so funny. I mean, it's 1:45:42.320 --> 1:45:44.240 clever in some parts, but it was like, there's so 1:45:44.320 --> 1:45:46.639 much cursing. It was so profane. And I'm not somebody 1:45:46.680 --> 1:45:49.639 who you know, cursing like anything else. You know, it's 1:45:49.680 --> 1:45:51.880 like explosions in movies, Like I can handle some cursing. 1:45:51.880 --> 1:45:54.200 I can handle some explosions in movies. When every three 1:45:54.240 --> 1:45:56.519 seconds it's another boom bang boom, you know, it just 1:45:56.600 --> 1:46:00.479 turns into any come up, you know what you expected? Yeah, yeah, 1:46:00.479 --> 1:46:02.600 there's just a lot of I don't know. It was 1:46:02.640 --> 1:46:04.280 not really as good as I thought. Have you seen 1:46:04.280 --> 1:46:07.080 Come from Away? No, that was a story of the 1:46:07.120 --> 1:46:08.960 Canadian city that got all the planes on nine to 1:46:09.000 --> 1:46:11.960 eleven when they grounded everyone, and they made it into 1:46:12.000 --> 1:46:15.599 like like they were amazingly hospitable and like it's a musical. 1:46:16.120 --> 1:46:18.320 One of the best shows overseen. I teared up at 1:46:18.320 --> 1:46:20.519 the end, and you know, I'm a yeah, yeah, I 1:46:20.520 --> 1:46:24.360 gotta check that out. Come from Away, Come from Away. 1:46:24.560 --> 1:46:26.680 I think it won the Tony for Best Musical a 1:46:26.720 --> 1:46:28.880 couple of years ago. All Right, I gotta like I 1:46:28.920 --> 1:46:31.280 gotta find the future and missus Sexton and take her 1:46:31.280 --> 1:46:32.720 too if I gotta find her first, But then I 1:46:32.760 --> 1:46:35.840 gotta come from away. Okay, Okay, I know there's options there. 1:46:36.160 --> 1:46:41.120 We'll figure it out. Producer Mark, you're you're a trouble baker. 1:46:41.320 --> 1:46:43.000 All right, that's gonna be it for today's show. I 1:46:43.040 --> 1:46:45.800 hope you've all enjoyed everything going on here in the 1:46:45.840 --> 1:46:48.719 Freedom Hunt as always, and we'll be back with you tomorrow, 1:46:48.760 --> 1:46:50.800 same time, same place.
