1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Well, it's finally happened. 2 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: The Democrat majority has taken the House. They are now 3 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: in charge and things are gonna get rough. But the 4 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: good news is President Trump so far is sticking to 5 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: his guns when it comes to the border wall, and 6 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: it looks like the shutdown is going to continue for 7 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: quite a while. Does he have the backbone? Just see 8 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: it through that and more coming up on the buck 9 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show where the 10 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: mission or mission is to decode what really matters with 11 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 1: actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a great American Again. 12 00:00:50,000 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: The buck Sexton Show begins. Remember no Power. Our mandate 13 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: for the people to lower healthcare costs and for scripting 14 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: drug prices and protect people with pre existing medical conditions. 15 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: To increase paychecks by rebuilding America with green and modern 16 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: infrastructure from C to shining C. To pass HR one, 17 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: to restore integrity to government so that people can have 18 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: confidence that government in a government that works for the people, 19 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: not the special interest. We will make America fairer by 20 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 1: passing the Equality Act to end discrimination against the LGBTQ community, 21 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: and we will make America more American by passing by 22 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: protecting our patriotic, courageous dreamers. None of that's actually going 23 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: to happen. But that was Nancy Pelosi's opening Today she 24 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: is now a Speaker of the House. Welcome to the 25 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Come on in the water's warm. We 26 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: are now living in a different political environment. The Democrats 27 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: finally have control of well one one part of Congress, 28 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: and that means that things are going to get Things 29 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: are gonna get messy, messy Pelosi and her priorities, Oh my, 30 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: the last one I thought, and that laundry list was 31 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: the most interesting. We're going to make America more American 32 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: by making non Americans in the country illegally Americans. The 33 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: dreamer's issue is one that the Democrats talk so much about, 34 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: and yet the more you dig into it, the more 35 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: you see that it's just the beginning of what is 36 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: mass amnesty. It's mass I'm telling you it will be 37 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: mass amnesty, meaning everybody more or less unless you are 38 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: a hardened criminal. And even then, you know the ACLU 39 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: and LaRaza and whatever whatever groups out there that ken 40 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: will intervene to try to prevent there from being any 41 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: more deportations. If they get. If they get Dreamers, it's 42 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: all over. In fact, it's it's just the reason they're 43 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 1: so set on it, as they know that with that 44 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: domino falling, all the rest of them toward amnesty will 45 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: will follow. But Pelosi is Speaker of the House. Again, 46 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: it's I'm trying to get used to it. You know. 47 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: I remember what it was like back in the day. 48 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: I remember not too long ago, what it was, what 49 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: it meant for this government to have Nancy Pelosi in 50 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: that position. Donald Trump will not be president of the 51 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: United States. Take it to the bank. Remember that. Yep, 52 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: turns out Nancy was wrong on that one. So that's 53 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: good news. But you have this this new Congress that 54 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how much people really care about it 55 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: outside the Beltway. There's a lot of pomp and circumstance today. 56 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: Who the new Congress. We had all these speeches, you know, yeah, whatever, 57 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: How does it matter to you? Well, it matters because, 58 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: for one, we're now in a divided government scenario and 59 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: that means gridlock. And I will just say that may 60 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: be a good thing, you know, at least when a 61 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: government is divided in this way. And keep in mind 62 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: the way that they've set it up. The government's divided 63 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: even when it's not. You know, unless you have sixty 64 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: votes in the Senate, you can't really get all that 65 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: much done, as we've seen, unless you have the sixty votes. 66 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: And this is a restraint that's put on members of Congress. 67 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: Buy members of Congress, you know, I mean Mitch McConnell 68 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: on the and the Senate Republicans were essentially the guys 69 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: yelling hold me back in a bar fight. When there's 70 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: no one holding the back. They're holding themselves back. They 71 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: could have gone, you know, they could have changed the 72 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: Senate rules. They could do that. They could make it 73 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: a simple majority vote. There's nothing constitutional about the sixty 74 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: vote threshold for getting bills passed. That's just they've just 75 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: made that up. They've just decided that this is how 76 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: they want to do it. But now we are going 77 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: to see what it's like when the Democrats can set 78 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: the agenda in the House, can use House resources and 79 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: really the bully pulpit of the floor of the House 80 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: of Representatives to just be another voice of opposition against 81 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: the administration. You know, when you count them up, there's 82 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: plenty of bastions of hashtag resistance. There's a lot of them, 83 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: the judiciary. All you need, I mean, this is a 84 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: legal strategy, folks, that's been deployed against even It's a 85 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: form of lawfare against the Trump administration. You have Flora, 86 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: you know for forum shopping, plural Flora right forum shopping. 87 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: You just all you need to do is bring a 88 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: case against the federal government in California, New York, Massachusetts. 89 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: Some federal judge will put a nationwide injunction in place 90 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: and essentially overrule the executive branch and the Trump administration 91 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: on a matter of policy until they can get the 92 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: Supreme Court to weigh in. This is not hard, there's 93 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: stein being them. Then you add into the media opposite 94 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: the media opposition to Trump, which is just at levels 95 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: that are insane. I mean they are in a frothy 96 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: mouthed anti Trump rage all the time. And now you've 97 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: got the House of Representatives also added into it, where 98 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: you got a majority that Nancy Pelosi's gonna lead and 99 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna do the look they've I think there was 100 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: already someone today who introduced articles of impeachment. They're going 101 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: to impeach. Just all talk to the contrary is they're 102 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: just trying to make it. You know, they don't want 103 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: to give away the ending of the movie, even though 104 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: we all know how this movie is gonna end. All 105 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: you have to do is listen to them, hear them 106 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: talk about this. Nancy Pelosi today was and we'll play 107 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: the audio later. She's saying, maybe even the president can 108 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: be criminally indicted. Wait what I thought. I thought that 109 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to happen. This was actually yesterday, Representative Hank 110 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: This is the mentality of these Democrats. I'm trying to 111 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: prepare you and me at the same time, or prepare 112 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: us psychologically for the onslaught that's coming of smears, lies, 113 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: lawfair investiga, investigations. Just meant his harassment and presidential harassment 114 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: is going to be what our House of Representatives is 115 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: doing more than anything else for the next eighteen months. 116 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: That's what's going to be happening. Just listen. Here, here's 117 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: Congressman Johnson, Democrat from Georgia, yesterday speaking about the president 118 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: the United States place. Seventeen Americans elected an authoritarian, anti immigrant, 119 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: racist strong man to the nation's highest office, Donald Trump 120 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: and his make America Great Again followers who want to 121 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: return America back to a time when white men and 122 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: white privilege were unchallenged and where minorities and women were 123 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: in their place. Much like Hitler took over the Nazi Party, 124 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: Trump has taken over the Republican Party. Oh yeah, there 125 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: we go. A Hitler reference. You knew it was common, folks, 126 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: you knew it was coming. A Hitler reference to the 127 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: President of the United States. Guys, we're really we're really 128 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: going to get down to brass taxire for a moment. 129 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: Trump is governing largely as a you know, accept on 130 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: the issue of immigration, the wall to be fair, which 131 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: is a signature issue. But he's been been pretty centrist 132 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: on all these pretty centrist on foreign policy, on taxes, 133 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: on they didn't repeal Obamacare, they truncated it a bit, 134 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: they cut it down. But you know, he's been and 135 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: a lot of ways on policy actually a pretty moderate 136 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: GOP or conservative force. You know, he has not been 137 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: some hard I mean, and then Hitler stuff is this 138 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: is just things. This is something that people who aren't 139 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: very smart say he's like Hitler, or let's compare him 140 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: to Hitler. That's this is really an intelligence test, and 141 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: it's one that much of the main stream media has 142 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: has failed. Um, but it's one of the thing that 143 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: we need to keep in mind going forward because they've 144 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: they've been saying that this president is a racist, is 145 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: a traitor, is Hitler. Total side note. Today, I had 146 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: a I had a uber driver named Stalin, which I 147 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: thought was pretty amazing. I've never that was his name. 148 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: It popped up, I said, it's really your name is 149 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: your first name is Stalin? Well, you know, maybe he's 150 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: trying to, you know, take that name and do a little, uh, 151 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: you know, change it up a little bit. It means 152 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: man of Steel, wasn't actually, you know, Stalin's Stalin's name 153 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: is not really his name. It's kind of like che 154 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: Guvara is not Chay is not really his name anyway. Um, 155 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: but yeah, they called Trump Hitler, so of course they're 156 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: gonna have to. You're gonna you're gonna not impeach Hitler? 157 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: What kind of what kind of president does that set? Right? 158 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna say this stupid stuff, They're gonna 159 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: act on this stupid stuff, and they're gonna say moronic things. 160 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: They're gonna act like morons. That's where the Democrats are 161 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: gonna do. This is where it's heading. So we should 162 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: just be prepared for that. We should also be prepared 163 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: for a fair amount of rewriting history, which we know 164 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: is always a thing that Democrats are engaged. And here's 165 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: Representative Hakim Jeffries talking about the Pelosi nomination process today. 166 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:23,239 Speaker 1: Just given all this praise to Nancy play sixteen, Nancy Pelosi, 167 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: captain the ship that defeated the effort to privatize Social Security, 168 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: rescued our economy in the midst of the Great Recession, 169 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: save the American automobile industry, provided affordable healthcare, so more 170 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: than twenty million Americans. Nancy Pelosi will fight to lower 171 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: healthcare costs, strengthen the Affordable Care Act, protect people with 172 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: pre existing conditions, increase pay for everyday Americans, and act 173 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: the Real Infrastructure Plan, clean up corruption, defend the Dreamers, 174 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: fix the Voting Rights Act, and in the era of 175 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: voter suppression, once and for all. It's it's it's like 176 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: a Maelstrom. It's a it's a tornado of wrong platitude, 177 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: and what the heck were just subjected to their Uh 178 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: you know, look, I know that politics in general, people 179 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: boil things down to very basic phrases, and they want 180 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: to they want to simplify things and all that. But 181 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: you know, the idea that Nancy Pelosi is going to 182 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: do all those things, or even wants to do all 183 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: those things, just it's just nuts. The notion that Pelosi 184 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: saved the economy. How how I mean they're talking about 185 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: rewriting history. Democrats have gotten such a pass. And I look, 186 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: I blame not just the news media, but pop culture too. 187 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: You go back and look at the movie The Big Short. 188 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: Not a mention of Fannie may or Freddie Mack in 189 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: the movie The Big Short, not a mention of the 190 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: Community Reinvestment Act and the Clinton administration policy of suing 191 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: banks financially destroying people who wouldn't make loans to essentially 192 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: based on FICO scores underqualified applicants, a lot of whom 193 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: are minorities. So you know, the whole fin the whole 194 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 1: Great Recession that we had to deal with, and the 195 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: housing crisis. Yes, Wall Street played a role in. Wall 196 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: Street is full of people who are rapaciously greedy, not 197 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: all of them, but a lot of them. Is a 198 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: lot of greed on Wall Street, no question. But there 199 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: was also a tremendous amount of government policy policy that 200 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: people like Pelosi. In fact, Pelosi was at the forefront 201 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: of pushing for this stuff. But now we're going to 202 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 1: say that she saved the account of anyway. You know, 203 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: Pelosi is a classic classic limousine liberal. Claims to be 204 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: a Catholic, but wants abortion all nine months of a 205 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: pregnancy for any reason, every reason, and wants you to 206 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: pay for it, by the way, but still goes and 207 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 1: takes communion, you know, still thinks of herself as a 208 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 1: good Catholic. How I don't know. I guess, you know, 209 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: nothing really matters anymore. Nothing is what it is, all 210 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: just subject to a whims and interpretation. But my friends, 211 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: batten down the hatches because this is going to be 212 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: a rough ride for the Trump administration starting today. I'm 213 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: not saying that they're gonna win. I'm not saying that 214 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna lose. I'm just this is what there is 215 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: so much insane rage. I mean, they really, you know, 216 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: the elites, the the left wing power structure in this country, 217 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: they hate Trump, but they also really hate Trump voters 218 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 1: don't forget that. They also really despond for supporting this 219 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: president up to this point. And they want payback. That's 220 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: going to motivate a lot of what they do. That's 221 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 1: going to be a factor here behind the scenes. I 222 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: want to get into this shutdown where it stands. Obviously 223 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: we're still going to shutdown, but you know the wall. 224 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 1: I spoke to a senior Border patrol officer today. I'm 225 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: hoping to get down to the border in the next 226 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, but I want to really dive into 227 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: this issue of immigration because this is in a lot 228 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: of ways make or break for the drump presidency. Can 229 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 1: he can he get this wall? Can he fix this problem? 230 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: That's the snakes are enormous right now. We'll come back 231 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: to that because the President gave a press conference today 232 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: kind of surprise people, so we'll talk about that a bit. 233 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: Stay with me. I just appreciate them being here. I said, 234 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: let's go out and see the press. You can tell 235 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: them about the importance of the wall. They basically said, 236 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: and I think I can take the word basically out. 237 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: Without a wall, you cannot have border security without a 238 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: very strong form of barrier. Call it what you will, 239 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: but without a wall, you cannot have border security. It 240 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: won't work. You see what's just been put out on 241 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: social media where thousands of people are rushing the border 242 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: having a drone fly overhead, and I think nobody knows 243 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: much or about technology, this type of technology, certainly than 244 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: I do. Having drones and various other form of censors. 245 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: They're all fine, but they're not going to stop the 246 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: problems that this country has. We've never had more people 247 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: wanting to come to the United States, and that has 248 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: to do with the economy and has to do with 249 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: a lot of other things. We're doing great as a country, 250 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: but the better we do, the more people want to 251 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: come in. You can go out a barrier, you can 252 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: go out whatever you want, but essentially we need protection 253 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: in our country. We're going to make it good. The 254 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: people of our country want it. I have never had 255 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: so much support as I have in the last week 256 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: over my stands for border security, for border control, and 257 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: for frankly the wall or the barrier. I have never 258 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: had anything like it in terms of calls coming in, 259 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: in terms of people writing in and tweet and doing 260 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: whatever they have to do. I've never had this much support, 261 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: and we've done some things that, as you know, have 262 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: been very popular. I hope the Trump sticks with it. 263 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: Sounds like you will. This is a pivotal moment. This 264 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: is a tipping point for the country. This is forcing 265 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: the Democrats hand, This is forcing everyone to face the 266 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: reality of what's happening at our southern border, which is 267 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: that we do not have control of it. We have 268 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: an ongoing illegal alien infiltration of the country that's been 269 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: happening for decades. The tune of they say twelve million, 270 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: now I think it's twenty to thirty. It's at least 271 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: twenty and people want it to stop. They wanted to 272 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: stop and a wall. This idea that a wall won't 273 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: work of it. I had Border Patrol Chief Operations tell 274 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: me today, of course the wall works. We very in 275 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: favor of the wall. Border Agent Brandon Judd spoke at 276 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: that press conference where we just played you some some 277 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: of the audio of President Trump. This is what he 278 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: said about it, play twenty three. I've been a Borba 279 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: troll agent for twenty one years. I can personally tell 280 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: you from the work that I have done on the 281 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: Southwest border that physical barriers, that walls actually work. You 282 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: hear a lot of talk from the expert that you 283 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: hear a lot of talk that there are experts that 284 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 1: say that walls don't work. I promise you that if 285 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: you interview border patrol agents, they will tell you that 286 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: walls work. I worked in Naco, Arizona for ten years. 287 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: We didn't have physical barriers in Naco, and illegal immigration 288 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: and drug smuggling was absolutely out of control. We built 289 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: those walls, those physical barriers, and illegal immigration dropped exponentially. 290 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: Anywhere that you look where we have built walls, they 291 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: have worked. They have been an absolute necessity for border 292 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 1: patrol agents in securing the border. We need those physical barriers, 293 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: and we appreciate President Trump and all of his efforts 294 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: in getting us those physical barriers. So this career border 295 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: patrol agent Judd there, does he not know something that 296 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: Nancy and Chuck know? Cold Can we get Nancy and 297 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: Chuck to show up at that press conference and explain 298 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: how walls don't work? I'd really like to. I'd like 299 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: to know, you know, what is their argument to this. 300 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: Are all the border patrol agents senior, all the way 301 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: down to the rank and file, are they just that 302 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: what they've all been bought off with maga hats? I mean, 303 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: somebody needs to explain to me what the answer is 304 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: from the Democrats, because everybody who knows a darned thing 305 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: about the border says the same thing when it comes 306 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: to the wall, and that is the wall would work, 307 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: Walls do work, and we need a wall. The Democrats 308 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: didn't know, didn't believe, and didn't care about anything Secretary 309 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,719 Speaker 1: Nilsen had to say. Had they listened, had they been 310 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: able to understand, had they believe the information, they would 311 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: now know that CBP has arrested seventeen thousand convicted criminals 312 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: in one year coming into this country. Ice has detained 313 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: almost four thousand known or suspected terrorists. Thousands of gang 314 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: members have been arrested at our border as well. Nancy 315 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: Pelosi refused to listen to those numbers, and when they 316 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: were actually said and spread around the room, she refused 317 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,959 Speaker 1: to believe them as well. I've never seen a thing 318 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: like it in my life. Democrats are denialists when it 319 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: comes to the border, denialists when it comes to the 320 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: crime that surges into this country, the deaths, the misery, 321 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: the despair that results from the lawlessness not just that 322 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: our border, but also of our immigration policies and the 323 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: lack of enforcement in the interior of this country, sanctuary 324 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: city policies, unwillingness to work with federal law enforcement to 325 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: get gang members who are in sanctuary jurisdictions not just 326 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: arrested it out of the country out If they are illegals, 327 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: they should not be here period. The numbers are staggering. 328 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: You know. I had the Chief of Operations for Border 329 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: Patrol on today. I talked to him for quite a 330 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: bit offset on set, you know, on air and Chief Hastings, 331 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: and we had a really interesting discussion about first of all, 332 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: that the wall in Sandy and the barrier wall. You know, 333 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: I hate the semantics. The barrier in place in the 334 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: Sandy sied Row border sector at San Diego Central would 335 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: separates San Diego from Tijuana. And now it's now that 336 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: I know how to say it, it's kind of fun 337 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: to say, and I'll kind of want struck my stuff, 338 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: you know, Tijuana, Hello, Como Sta Tijuana. But that barrier 339 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: is effective, and it's so effective in fact, that you 340 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: have people from the caravan trying to destroy it so 341 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: that they can get through. If it was just as 342 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: easy as walk down the road a little bit and 343 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: you'll get into the US where there's no barrier, guess what, 344 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: they'd probably do that, right, They're trying to go through 345 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: the barrier, trying to overrun. That's why you had that 346 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: incident with one hundred and fifty migrants who are trying 347 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: to overrun a one sector of the well, one part 348 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: of the fence and then through rocks and had f 349 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: tear gas deployed. But one part of this that I 350 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: don't think that that doesn't get talked bet enough. The 351 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: Border patrol chief that keeps saying chief, the chief operations. 352 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: He told me that they're looking into this and they 353 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: they have early indications that there are English payers on 354 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: the other side of the board. I remember, this is 355 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: a career law enforcement guy, all right. He's not he's 356 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: not trying to win some political office. He's just telling 357 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: me what he knows. He says, there are are reports. 358 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: Now this is intel. This is not you know, this 359 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: is not you know, a court record or matter public record. 360 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: Yet there's intel. There are English speakers, you know, native 361 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: English speakers on the other side of the border who 362 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: are encouraging and helping to coordinate incidents like the one 363 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 1: we saw on New Year's where you had an effort 364 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: to mass in one place and overrun border patrol and 365 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: to use specific tactics like putting women and children so 366 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: that they throw rocks at border patrol, and then when 367 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: the tear gas is deployed, they move women and children 368 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: forward so that, yes, you can get these photos because 369 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: obviously got journos down there, you get these photos of 370 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: the women and children getting tear gas and all the 371 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: stuff happening. But there's also the possibility, you know that 372 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: depending on how they're deploying that tier gas, you know, 373 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: maybe somebody gets hit by a tear gas projectile. Maybe 374 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: you get a you know, a ten year old kid, 375 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 1: and you know, I know there are different ways they 376 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: can do this. You know, they can fire it out 377 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: of a canister, and there's there's a lot of ways. 378 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: You know, maybe they're just throwing the smoke bombs, but 379 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: that you know, if you get somebody that's injured in 380 00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 1: that exchange, especially if you women or a child, that's 381 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: all you're gonna hear about. That's all you're gonna hear about. Meanwhile, 382 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 1: the stuff that I'm telling you about, like there are 383 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: from senior level of Border Patrol. They're saying there are 384 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: people that are coordinating us on the other side, causing 385 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: a causing the optics that will then be used as 386 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: open borders propaganda. Look at how evil we are, look 387 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: at how bad our border patrol is being naughty, naughty, 388 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: bad border patrol. They're trying to create those incidents, and 389 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: then it's gonna be projected not just all around our media, 390 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: but all around the world. So there is a hidden 391 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: hand behind some of this. And I'm not I'm not 392 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: just guessing or making it up. I'm being told this 393 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: by people who are down there on the front lines 394 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: and who know. So that's one part. Of the other 395 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: part is when you look at the storylines about how 396 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: we've had two children have died, like any kid, any 397 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: small child, then anyone who loses their life to an 398 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 1: illness is a sad, sad story, regardless of you know 399 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: what country they're from or the circussor you know it's 400 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: it's a sad thing. So we start from that problem, 401 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: and we're good people, so we automatically have an emotional 402 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: response to a child who's who's brought to the border, 403 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: who dies from from a disease of any kind, right, 404 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: and we do want to help anybody who shows up 405 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 1: at our border who's showing signs of an acute illness 406 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: should be treated. That's who we are, That's that's the 407 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: kind of people we are in America. But you know, 408 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: there's another side to this story, and that is the 409 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: as the chief told me today, over four thousand life 410 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: saving measures taken by border patrol over the last year, 411 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: four thousand incidents of border patrol saving people who were drowning, 412 00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: saving people who were dying from thirst, you know, or 413 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 1: or or from hypothermia being you know, the grabbed out 414 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: in the desert. People forget the desert in the wintertime 415 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: or even just at night gets really cold, right, intervening 416 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: in life saving fashion and in some cases with real 417 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: risk to themselves. You know, border patrol guys got to 418 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: go out and jump out in the river and try 419 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: to save somebody who's drowning. Anybody who's ever tried to 420 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: save somebody from drowning will tell you it's it's danger 421 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 1: for number of reasons. One is the person you're trying 422 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: to save might pull you under because they're panicking, and 423 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: you know that's just the response that they're going to happen. 424 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: So you know, you're not here about the four thousand 425 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: lives that Border Patrol has saved or a life saving 426 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: incidents involved with them. You do hear so much more 427 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: about these two children. Now we've got a policy where 428 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: everyone's going to be checked when they come to the border. 429 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: Guess what's going to happen. Guess what's gonna happen. Now, 430 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: this is going to be abused. Now we're going to 431 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: see people that are showing up of the border with 432 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: chronic health conditions and they're going Now that that's you know, 433 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: that's a different thing than you show up and say, okay, 434 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: you know, if you're a kid and you're running a 435 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: one hundred and three fever and we're worried about you, 436 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: you know, we take care of children. I mean, if 437 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: you're you know, these are you know, the men and 438 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: women of Border Patrol, their moms, their dads, their brothers 439 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: and sisters, they got kids of their own. They're not 440 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: you know, they're not heartless people. In fact, quite the 441 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: country their law enforcement doing a really important job, and 442 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: they get a lot of grief from the media, not 443 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: a not a lot of praise. You think of how 444 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: much how in love with the like senior reaches of 445 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: the FBI the media is because of Muller and you know, 446 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: destroying Trump versus the way they treat border patrol, and 447 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: you just see that it's it's all. It's opportunistic from them. 448 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: It's opportunistic. I got more. I mean, as the border 449 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: is an issue is you know, I'm very very fired 450 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: up on this. So We're going to talk more about 451 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: this in a moment. Stay with me. Democrats refuse to 452 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: acknowledge the facts. What the President did today was monumental. 453 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: He brought them to the White House, to the Situation 454 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 1: Room to have a conversation with Secretary Nielsen so she 455 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: could brief them on all the crisis that's going on 456 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: in the border. These numbers are devastating, they are sad, 457 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: they are needless, and they are senseless, and Democrats wanted 458 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. In fact, the President opened 459 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: the meeting, he then turned to Secretary Nielsen, introduced her, 460 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: and said, now she's going to begin her briefing. Within 461 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: five seconds, Chuck Schumer prompted Nancy Pelosi to cut Secretary 462 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: Nielsen off, which she dutifully did within seconds, and then 463 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: the entire presentation was basically over. I bet that the 464 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: Secretary probably said fifty words in the entire presentation. I 465 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: think that's really emblematic here of where the Democrats are 466 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: on the boarder and on immigration in general. They just 467 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: don't want to hear it. They just want to tell 468 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: stories about about illegal alien valedictorians, and they want to 469 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: tell stories about family separation, and that's it. That there's 470 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: nothing else. They don't want to talk about. What it 471 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: does to depress wages to have so many illegals dump 472 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: to the country, what it's doing in communities across the country, 473 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: to have so many legals in the schools and the 474 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: English as a second language. None of that, they don't 475 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: want to hear any of that. They don't want to 476 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: hear about the opioid crisis and how the cartels are 477 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: playing such a huge, huge role in this. And I'm 478 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: gonna chase this story down. I mean, I'm gonna start 479 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: writing more on this and trying to I'm glad I 480 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: get to talk to all you, all of you about it, 481 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: and thank you for listening on these issues because it's 482 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: so important. There is a media bias toward talking about 483 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: the opioid epidemic as though it is primarily a function 484 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: of over prescription by doctors, and again I have sources 485 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: here and I've spoken to people in the DJ about 486 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: this issue specifically, and the truth is that the stats 487 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: that show over seventy thousand people dying from phansnopias are 488 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly point toward illegal, illegal drugs that are being sold 489 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: by the cartels or by subsidiaries that the cartels in 490 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: this country on the streets. That's what's driving the opioid epidemic. Now, 491 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: doctors aren't idiots. They know that they've got to watch 492 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: who they're prescribing and what they're prescribing now, and they 493 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: know that da has caused a thirty percent drop in 494 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: overall opioid prescriptions in this country, and I think the 495 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: last two years. I have to check for the spam, 496 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: but it's it's down thirty percent from its height. So 497 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:41,959 Speaker 1: d EA is they're going after doctors, and obviously that's 498 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: how to real effect. But what the cartels are doing 499 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: is filling in now. They know there's this huge market 500 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: for opioids, so they're making them in Mexico, they are 501 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: making counterfeit fentanyl and in fact, they've had cases in 502 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: certain states. It's it's certainly happening in Cali Fornia, where 503 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: they will make fentanyl. The cartels will illegally make fentanyl 504 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: and make it look like oxycontent, so people think they're 505 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: taking black market oxy, but it's actually fentanyl. Fentanyl is 506 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: easier to make, it's only like a four step process, 507 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: and fentanyl is much more potent than OxyContin is. So 508 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: that just and so they're trying to fill in where 509 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: where there's now this this market for elicit drugs, they're 510 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: trying to fill in by making it look like it's 511 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: big pharma drugs. But really this is the cartels posing 512 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: as big pharma to make make profits those and so 513 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: you know that's now you gotta understand that people are 514 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: being found, they're finding oxycontent pills on them and at 515 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: overdose sites. One it's not really oxy. So this doesn't 516 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: come from any of the big pharma companies. Now, this 517 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: isn't Fiser, This isn't you know, any of the big 518 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: drug makers out there necessarily. I mean that there's some 519 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: of that too, obviously there's black market sales or prescription drugs. 520 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: But just to show you where this is trending. Now 521 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: you have the cartels pretending that they're big pharma pills 522 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: and making them appear to be you know, using the molds, 523 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: the same molds so that they can sell this to 524 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: people illegally. So you know, that's you know, that's I 525 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: think a really important story for people to know because 526 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: border security isn't just national security, because it's of possible 527 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: terrorists infiltrations and all that people tend to a lot 528 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: of people will just tune that out. It is an 529 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: issue of life and death because of the drug trade 530 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: in this country and what it is doing in this country, 531 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: and most of that stuff is coming across the border. 532 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: Most overdosees are from illegally obtained drugs, which can include 533 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: prescription drugs, but it's illegally obtained drugs. And the Democrats 534 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: don't even they don't really want to talk about then 535 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: they got nothing on this. They no willingness to hear 536 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: out what's really going on. And that also brings me 537 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: to speaking of California in the cartels, you know, sanctuary laws. 538 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: My friend Lawrence Jones has been doing some men on 539 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: the streets. The Lawrence Jones used working at the Blaze. 540 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: Now he's a Fox, a Fox contributor. Lawrence a great guy, 541 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: and he's been asking residence California what they think of 542 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: the state sanctuary laws. This was interesting play clip for 543 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people are blaming the California sanctuary state policy. 544 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: Do you agree with that? I think it's the worst 545 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: thing California has done. A little gun. I'm not the 546 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: big wall person, but I think a sanctuary state is crazy. 547 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: Sanctuary city policy, it's the stupidest thing that Democrats could 548 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: have ever done in this country. Well, it's stupid from 549 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: the perspective. I agree with that last fellow on the 550 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: street there. It's it's stupid from the perspective of law 551 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: and order and public safety and rule of law. But 552 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: if all you're really trying to do is ensure a 553 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: Democrats supermajority to actually kind of evil, brilliant if you 554 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: want to want another truth, it makes a lot of 555 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: They get to pose as the humanitarians, the nice people, 556 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: the saviors, the democrat the left, all these progressive open 557 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: borders activists. They get to be the ones too, you know, 558 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: who care, who are kind, who who want to help people. 559 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: And the media is completely complicit in this. Media doesn't 560 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: want to doesn't want anyone to hear the stories about, 561 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: you know, the deaths that result from an unwillingness to 562 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: work with federal law enforcement at the local level and 563 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: to deport people who are dangerous. They don't want to 564 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: talk about Kate Steinley. They don't want to talk about 565 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: Officers sing and California's Sheriff Adam Christensen, he wants to 566 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: talk about it because he's still obviously furious about what 567 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: happened to Officer Ronald Singh, and we talked about him 568 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: on the show yesterday. This officer was killed in line 569 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: of duty in a traffic stop. Here's what this California 570 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: your Sheriff says about sanctuary city policies. Play three. I 571 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: simply want to focus on the fact that this is 572 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: a criminal, illegal alien with prior criminal activity that should 573 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: have been reported to ice. We were prohibited. Law enforcement 574 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: was prohibited because of sanctuary laws, and that led to 575 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 1: the encounter with officers Singh. I'm suggesting that the outcome 576 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: could have been different if law enforcement wasn't restricted, prohibited, 577 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: or had their hands tied because of political interference. That's right. 578 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: Officers Sings left behind a wife and a five year 579 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: old son. A five year old son doesn't have a 580 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: dad anymore. Officers sing was the model of what we 581 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: want immigrants to be in this country, come in legally, 582 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, be a stable family, member of a family, 583 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: productive citizen, Serve your country, serve your community. We want 584 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: Officer Sings, We don't want Gustavo Perez's the illegal alien, 585 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: long criminal record. But they didn't want to turn them 586 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 1: over to ICE. It's committing crimes. Didn't want to turn 587 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: them over to the ICE. That's mean. Well, you know 588 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: what I think is really mean when people who are 589 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: charged with public safety, when elected officials, act in a 590 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: lawless fashion that results in the death of a public servant, 591 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: the ruination of a good American family, and undermining the 592 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: rule of law in the process, all because they want 593 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: to seem like they're so compassionate. You know, it's not compassionate. 594 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 1: Leaving behind Officer Singh's wife and five year old child. 595 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 1: That's not compassionate. It's a new year and you're probably 596 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: thinking about some new hires you've got to make, or 597 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: if you're a property owner, maybe you're going to be 598 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 1: leasing it out soon.

If 616 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: he gives in now, that's the end of twenty nineteen. 617 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: In terms of him being an effective president, that's probably 618 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,280 Speaker 1: the end of his presidency. Trump has made a promise 619 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 1: to the American people He's going to secure our border. 620 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,360 Speaker 1: Every Democrat in the past I agree with the border funding, 621 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: keep changing their mind, and Lindsey Graham when he's right, 622 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,959 Speaker 1: he's right. You know, and the man is in the zone. 623 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: He's pretty good, and I think he's correct here in 624 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: terms of Trump, Trump can't cave. We might be in 625 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: a shutdown for a very long time. Trump cannot cave, 626 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: and that means that this is just going to continue 627 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: on ultimately because Democrats don't want a secure border, and 628 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:40,280 Speaker 1: we should have to make them really live with that reality. 629 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 1: We can allow them to get away with the platitudes, 630 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: you know, oh yeah, we want more border security. You know. 631 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: I I get so frustrated out of here from from 632 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: I had a new member of Congress on today. He's 633 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 1: from Nevada. I can't remember the guy's name. I interview 634 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 1: a lot of congressmen these days, and that's a lot 635 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,879 Speaker 1: of it blurs together, and you know, but he's saying, yeah, 636 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: he's a Democrat obviously, because you know, Crystals Crystal brought 637 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: him on because we get to pick different I pick 638 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: people that I want to speak to. She picks people 639 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: that she will So today I got to speak to 640 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 1: the head of Border oh sorry, the chief of Operations 641 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: of Board of Patrol, which is very interesting. Um and 642 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 1: Crystal brought in this guy who was a who's a 643 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 1: new congressman. But he's saying, you know, democrats are four, 644 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 1: um are four border security? And how he's gonna say how? 645 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: And they say they're for a border security, but we 646 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: should also ask why they claim to be for border 647 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,479 Speaker 1: security when they don't really seem to think that there's 648 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: a problem with people being in the country illegally, right, 649 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 1: they say, uh, you know, here, here's here's a perfect 650 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 1: example of a Democrat on MSNBC. I don't even know 651 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,840 Speaker 1: who is Maria Hino Joseph. I don't know, is this 652 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,240 Speaker 1: some kind of policy analyst person or something, but she's 653 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: giving voice to this on MSNBC's air play clip five. 654 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 1: First of all, he calls them illegal immigrants. There's no 655 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,760 Speaker 1: such thing. And as an illegal immigrant, sir, no illegal 656 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: human being in the planet. With Kelly, there is no 657 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: such thing as an illegal human being? How many times 658 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 1: we have to say this? Get your grammar correct? Okay, okay, um, 659 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 1: She's not she's not a well informed person. She's a journalist. 660 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: That's so. I mean, it's not surprised, you know, lots 661 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: of journalists are not well informed in this issue. But 662 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: she's wrong because federal law states that there is, in 663 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: fact something called an illegal alien, and that is what 664 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: people who are in the country illegally are to be called. 665 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: They're not undocumented. You can try to play all these 666 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: word games as much as you want, but you're wrong. 667 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,920 Speaker 1: This is this is a right and wrong issue. This 668 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,240 Speaker 1: is the you remember at CNN at Apple and Banana, 669 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: which is hilaris because CNN is, you know, full of 670 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: garbage and lies all the time. Uh, but this is 671 00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 1: where they you know, you have to make a stand. 672 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 1: You're against this. You can't let them get away with this. 673 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,359 Speaker 1: And the fact that she's on MSNBC saying this crap. 674 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: There's no such thing as an I legal immigrant. That's 675 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 1: a lie. That's just not true. You know, this is 676 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 1: like saying there's no such thing as a murderer. No, 677 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 1: there are, there are murderers. There's no such thing as homicide. 678 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 1: No homicide exists. You can say you you don't want 679 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 1: it to exist, but that's not This is not up 680 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 1: for debater discussion. As a quick aside here, I saw 681 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: Chelsea Manning tweeted out this is now something you'll see 682 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: among among left wing activists. They'll just write the same 683 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 1: thing out like ten times on Twitter and Chelsea Manning, 684 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: who you know, sold out his country and you know 685 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 1: for what and now is lionizing. You read these you 686 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: read these, uh you know, editorials about how Chelsea Manning 687 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 1: not only will they talk about how you know he's 688 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: some kind of hero now, but also that you know, 689 00:40:54,200 --> 00:41:00,160 Speaker 1: he's like really attractive in this as a transgender female. Oh, 690 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,239 Speaker 1: that's that's coming. By the way, you're bigoted. If as 691 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: a as a heterosexual male you do not find transgender females, 692 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: which are also known as males, attractive, you're bigoted. That's 693 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,719 Speaker 1: you've already seen it happening. Some people have written it, 694 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: some people, you know. But the Miss Universe contest, you know, 695 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: we're supposed to I can't even watch this show, The 696 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 1: Marvelous Miss Mazal, which is supposed to take place in 697 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: the fifties, but you know it's Amazon. Oh my gosh, 698 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: so progressive, so much lib nonsense going on. It's one 699 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 1: of the reasons why I like shows at least that 700 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: are from like the you know, then supposed to take 701 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 1: place in ancient Rome or something, because at least then 702 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: we don't have them all just giving long speeches on diversity. 703 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: You know, we don't have Cicero standing up like, yes, 704 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: what then what the Roman consuls need is more diversity, 705 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: you know, at least if it's if it's a historical 706 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 1: period piece or period show. You don't get you know, 707 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: you don't have quite as many lectures about transgenderism. But 708 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: sure enough, I'm watching the marvelous Miss Mazel with Miss 709 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 1: with Miss Molly, and they there's this. They go into 710 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 1: this drag show in Paris, and the main characters starts 711 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: talking about how beautiful all these men dressed as women are. False. 712 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: You know, if we're now beauty is sure, it's subjective, 713 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: it's an aesthetic thing. But you know, I do not 714 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,479 Speaker 1: find men who dress as women beautiful, and I don't 715 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 1: need people to go through this pretense of all acting 716 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 1: like there that that's a beautiful thing. You know. That's 717 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 1: the Today's I know you got me on transgender. I 718 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 1: was talking immigration. Now I'm on transgender. That Today's show 719 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 1: just had on this this transgender child or I'm sorry, 720 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, not transgender child. Pardon me scratched that from her, 721 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 1: This drag show child, this little boy who's dressed as 722 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 1: a as a female in gyrating on stageless Leff and 723 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 1: This is just sick. This is bizarre. But Chelsea man, 724 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 1: and going back to the how I got on all 725 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,320 Speaker 1: this is saying that they and them is a singular 726 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,839 Speaker 1: pronoun and and he wrote that out. You know ten 727 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:08,319 Speaker 1: times that's just not true. And two plus two does 728 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 1: not equal five. One plus one does not equal three. 729 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 1: They can say it, they can say it, they can 730 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,719 Speaker 1: say it. It does not make it so. And this 731 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 1: is true on immigration as well. Illegal aliens are a 732 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: thing in law, in statute, in reality. You can go on, 733 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 1: you can try to make me say undocumented. You will 734 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 1: fail because you're wrong. This is a right and wrong issue. See, 735 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 1: this is why they can't. I mean, can you imagine 736 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,839 Speaker 1: they have me on MSNBC or CNN. I'll just buck 737 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 1: slap everybody. Then they won't even know what I won't 738 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 1: even know what hit him. It's not even gonna happen. 739 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 1: So and for those of you are saying, oh Buck, 740 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,280 Speaker 1: why aren't you more tenacious and slapping people around on Rising? 741 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: I my co host. That's a special. That's a special relationship, 742 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,760 Speaker 1: co host relationship or special. It's like an on air marriage. 743 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: You know, this is your this is the person that 744 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 1: you are. You are doing a show with you were 745 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 1: putting out a product. So Crystal's a wonderful person, and 746 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 1: we share our points of view without attacking each other. 747 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 1: Everybody else who comes though, it's fair game. But you know, 748 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 1: I've got a deal with the fact that you can't 749 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,800 Speaker 1: get a lot of libs to come on and debate 750 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 1: on these issues. You can't get a lot of libs 751 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 1: that want to talk about this with people like me 752 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 1: because they know they're gonna be in a lot of 753 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna be in a tough spot. They'd rather just 754 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,279 Speaker 1: preach to the choir on on how there's no such 755 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 1: thing as an a legal person. There's no such thing 756 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,560 Speaker 1: as an a legal person. It's a lie. But anyway, 757 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: back to the wall, I know I'm covering a lot 758 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 1: in this segment. I've gotten a little fired up and 759 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,880 Speaker 1: I'm flying all over the place. So I'm sorry about 760 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 1: the lack of I liked other radio hosts. You know, 761 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 1: Oh this happened, and that happened. Let's worry about this 762 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: other story. I mean, I sometimes we'll hear, you know, 763 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 1: in a car with a radio on, I'll hear, you know, 764 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 1: how other hosts do this. And I'm always amazed that 765 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,760 Speaker 1: they'll just, oh, let's come from this topic to that topic. 766 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:55,759 Speaker 1: You know. Oh, you know Bill over there at the 767 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 1: County Farm. He's got this guy whoa. I thought we're 768 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 1: talking about tacks reform. You know what happened. People jump 769 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,399 Speaker 1: all over the place. But I try to stay more 770 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 1: on topic. When I can, Lindsey Graham back, We'll bring 771 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,520 Speaker 1: it all back to Lindsey Graham. He says that Trump 772 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 1: is not going to sign a bill that doesn't have 773 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,719 Speaker 1: money for the wall. I hope he's right. Flay clip too. 774 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,080 Speaker 1: Let me tell you how our government works. Any bill 775 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: passed from the House has to come to the Senate, 776 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 1: task gets sixty votes, and for it to be signed 777 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: in the law, the president has to sign it. He's 778 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 1: not going to sign a bill that doesn't have money 779 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 1: for the wall. I tell you exactly how this is 780 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,800 Speaker 1: going to end. The President is going to challenge the 781 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,320 Speaker 1: Democrats to compromise, and if they continue to say no, 782 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 1: they're going to pay a price. With American people. Most 783 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 1: Americans want to do two things. They want to secure 784 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,520 Speaker 1: our border and they want to be reasonable to people 785 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:53,160 Speaker 1: like the DOCA population. DOCCA Lindsey Graham, Docca is a 786 00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:57,400 Speaker 1: lot more complicated and from a rule of law position, 787 00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 1: a lot more precarious than most mainstream goop folks willing admit, 788 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,320 Speaker 1: including I think Lindsey Graham. DOCCA is not some simple 789 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 1: thing that we're just gonna give people status and it's 790 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 1: all gonna be great, that you're gonna it's gonna be 791 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 1: the number they tell you is gonna be a fraction 792 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: of the end number. And there's gonna be lawsuits from 793 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 1: here to Kingdom. Come on, people saying that they should 794 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,759 Speaker 1: get DOCCA, who didn't get DOCCA, And oh, I'm a 795 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,840 Speaker 1: DOCCA person too, and oh, you can't prove I'm not 796 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: that all said, I think if Trump really holds the 797 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: line on this, I think Lindsey Graham is right that 798 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 1: he needs to hold a line on this, we'll see 799 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,560 Speaker 1: where the American people really stand. But this is a 800 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 1: pure political fight. This is all about public perception and 801 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 1: the pressure that that can be brought to bear on 802 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:48,319 Speaker 1: elected representatives. That's what's gonna determine whether this show, how 803 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 1: this shutdown ends one way or the other. So that's 804 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 1: why we need to keep the pressure on team. That's 805 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:57,480 Speaker 1: what we're doing. I want to introduce you to a 806 00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 1: new conservative alternative to all those superlib email services out there, 807 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 1: ipatriots dot Us.

Moller only heard 824 00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:07,239 Speaker 1: evidence from people who were trying to find evidence of 825 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:11,960 Speaker 1: crimes and sins against President Trump, he didn't listen to 826 00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:17,840 Speaker 1: exculpatory evidence. He didn't allow anybody to cross examine these witnesses. 827 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,520 Speaker 1: What if, for example, he's relying on Cohen, or he's 828 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,799 Speaker 1: relying on Manaphor, and they haven't been cross examined. These 829 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,840 Speaker 1: are people who were admitted liars, and so it seems 830 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 1: to me the Trump team has to have an opportunity 831 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,800 Speaker 1: to present their case and then Congress and the public 832 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,400 Speaker 1: can look at them both together. So team, as you know, 833 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 1: I'm here in the swamp, and that has some the 834 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,560 Speaker 1: drawback is that it's the swamp and I'm surrounded by 835 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:42,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people are like, oh, I look for 836 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:47,720 Speaker 1: Congress Monzelazell I really important. No, really, not that important, 837 00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 1: slower role. They're nerdy hill staffer. I do not care. 838 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 1: But there are some There are some benefits, and one 839 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:57,759 Speaker 1: of them is that I get the chance sometimes to 840 00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,239 Speaker 1: sit down with you know, and I'm now I got 841 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:02,799 Speaker 1: to do more of the journalist things. So I sit 842 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,279 Speaker 1: down with them, and I can't get into specifics of 843 00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:09,120 Speaker 1: whom or or I can't attribute to them, but I 844 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,719 Speaker 1: certainly can tell you when I get really worthwhile and 845 00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,000 Speaker 1: interesting information from them. Just what the information is and 846 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 1: I've been talking to some some high level sources the 847 00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 1: DOJ in the last last week or so since people 848 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,120 Speaker 1: have come back, although a lot of DJ is furloughed 849 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,840 Speaker 1: right now because the government's shut down, and you know, 850 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 1: the Mueller probe is, well, this is this is not 851 00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 1: this is not particularly breaking heres. The Muller probe is 852 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 1: in its latter phase, um, but it's also going to 853 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,879 Speaker 1: be allowed to continue as it sees fit, which means 854 00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,600 Speaker 1: that you know, you could they could get some new 855 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,480 Speaker 1: avenue of inquiry and all of a sudden it gets extended. 856 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,640 Speaker 1: And that's why even if it's in the last quarter, 857 00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:00,160 Speaker 1: it's not quarter based, meaning it's not there's no at 858 00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 1: timetable here. So even if they think it's about to 859 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:03,959 Speaker 1: when I say about you, you know in the next 860 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,799 Speaker 1: few months, that what we're talking about here, it's gonna end. Um. 861 00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,279 Speaker 1: But what what the Mother Probe is really turned into, 862 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,279 Speaker 1: and there there are concerns about this from people at 863 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,439 Speaker 1: DJ that they can't necessarily vocalize, But the Mother Probe 864 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:22,160 Speaker 1: is turned into is an opportunity for essentially taxpayer funded 865 00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,400 Speaker 1: oppo research against the president United States. And that's what 866 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 1: this is going to be there's not going to be 867 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:31,080 Speaker 1: any criminal charge against Donald Trump. That's that's not going 868 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,920 Speaker 1: to happen, although I would know that Nancy Pelosi today 869 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,920 Speaker 1: did say, oh, you know, it's not clear if if 870 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 1: you can, if you can charge the president or not 871 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:42,680 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we're here and that right they 872 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 1: want to. That's just trying to feed red meat to 873 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,319 Speaker 1: the left wing loon base. You know, they're they're coming 874 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 1: up with different ways of of making sure that you know, 875 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,560 Speaker 1: you can try to convince their side that they're they're 876 00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,399 Speaker 1: going to end the Trump presidency not at the ballot box, 877 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,040 Speaker 1: but but via the law. And I would just note 878 00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:07,759 Speaker 1: and this this times in or discussion about impeachment and 879 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,960 Speaker 1: what the current Democrat majority House representative is going to 880 00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,480 Speaker 1: do and if they think that the country is going 881 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,840 Speaker 1: to be in a better place if they're able, oh 882 00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,080 Speaker 1: we do it, Yeah, we have Pelosi playclip six. We 883 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,760 Speaker 1: have to wait and see what happens with the Muller report. 884 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,279 Speaker 1: We shouldn't be impeaching for a political reason, and we 885 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,640 Speaker 1: shouldn't avoid impeachment for a political reason because, as you 886 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:35,120 Speaker 1: well know, there is longstanding Department of Justice guidance that 887 00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,719 Speaker 1: states a sitting president should not be indicted. I thought, 888 00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:40,839 Speaker 1: it is not the law, and it is not the law. 889 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,920 Speaker 1: Everything indicate that a president can be indicted a president 890 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,600 Speaker 1: who is in office. Could Robert Muller come back and say, 891 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,719 Speaker 1: I am seeking And I think that that is an 892 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 1: open discussion. I think that is an open discussion in 893 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:56,480 Speaker 1: terms of the law. Notice how everything she shares, I mean, 894 00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,640 Speaker 1: Nancy Peloski does you know intellection? Yeah, she has some 895 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,120 Speaker 1: good political survival instincts and all that stuff, and she, 896 00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,480 Speaker 1: you know, is an insider and the you know, the 897 00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,919 Speaker 1: ultimate Democrat political insider these days. But honestly, she says 898 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,040 Speaker 1: everything points to but it's an open discussion. Well, well, 899 00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,440 Speaker 1: which is it, Nancy? Can you or can you not 900 00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:19,279 Speaker 1: indict a sitting president? And it is clear she has 901 00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,920 Speaker 1: clearly she's not clear on what the answer to that is. 902 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,759 Speaker 1: But the Muller report may or may not be made 903 00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:28,600 Speaker 1: public in the end. I think there's going to be 904 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,239 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of pressure to make it public. And 905 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,680 Speaker 1: one thing that you'll notice, and this is what Dershowitz 906 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,040 Speaker 1: was saying, that's why we came in with it, is 907 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:40,400 Speaker 1: that it's going to be a hatchet job of the 908 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,200 Speaker 1: administ no matter what. It's just going to be a 909 00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:47,440 Speaker 1: compilation of all of the different exercises that Muller and 910 00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,439 Speaker 1: his people have been through that are all intended toward 911 00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 1: one goal. And the goal is to get a prosecution. 912 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that is what they're That's what they're going for, 913 00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,560 Speaker 1: to get prosecutions. They're not there to adjudicate whether or 914 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,480 Speaker 1: not they should be looking at people. They're trying to 915 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:06,359 Speaker 1: rack and stack scalps. That's what special counsels do. That's 916 00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:10,400 Speaker 1: what of Hillary voters, you know Weissman and uh you 917 00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,920 Speaker 1: know Genie Ree and all the rest of them, that 918 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:14,400 Speaker 1: that's what they're trying to do. They're trying to take 919 00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,880 Speaker 1: down people around Trump. And so there's going to be 920 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:21,480 Speaker 1: a really I think a really clear need for the 921 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 1: administration to have a strong pushback strategy even one of 922 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:29,520 Speaker 1: that stuff comes out. But also I think you maybe 923 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:35,080 Speaker 1: seeing the media. I I really can't get into specifics, 924 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna see a media freak out about DOJ policy 925 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,239 Speaker 1: in the in the coming weeks, I think, and when 926 00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:43,840 Speaker 1: I when I'm able to tell you more about it, 927 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:49,480 Speaker 1: I will, um. But let's just say that the journos, 928 00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:51,200 Speaker 1: some of them may be in for kind of a 929 00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 1: an interesting route a wicketing. Ah can't I know, I know, 930 00:53:57,719 --> 00:53:59,880 Speaker 1: I shouldn't do. I can't get in more detail than that, 931 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:04,719 Speaker 1: but I've got it on good, good authority that journalists 932 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:08,280 Speaker 1: are gonna going to be in a more interesting position 933 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,080 Speaker 1: in terms of how they're, how they think they're, how 934 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,719 Speaker 1: protected they think they really are, especially when you get 935 00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:18,000 Speaker 1: into some of the uh, the efforts underway to find out, 936 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,680 Speaker 1: you know, how do they get this information that they're 937 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:26,799 Speaker 1: then using to bash the administration. But I digress. I'll 938 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,520 Speaker 1: have more for you on that as I can consider 939 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:31,680 Speaker 1: that one kind of a teaser for now team. But 940 00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,640 Speaker 1: you know, the Muller probe is still looms in the background. 941 00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,440 Speaker 1: It ties into the way the Congress is going to 942 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 1: be acting because you would think that the Special Counsel 943 00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 1: wraps up, there will be there would be no need 944 00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:51,040 Speaker 1: for all these just assorted investigations that are But that's 945 00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,200 Speaker 1: not going to be the approach that the that the 946 00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,640 Speaker 1: Libs that Pelosi and company take. They're gonna they're gonna 947 00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,120 Speaker 1: pick up where Mueller leaves off, and they're gonna use 948 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:02,960 Speaker 1: whatever's in the Mullar Report as essentially the roadmap for 949 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,919 Speaker 1: what investigations they need to do for a full public 950 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:10,480 Speaker 1: accounting of this. That's unfortunately where all this is heading. 951 00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,279 Speaker 1: But the good news is at the end of the day, 952 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 1: they're not going to be able to remove Trump from office, 953 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,239 Speaker 1: and this is going to turn into this is all 954 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,120 Speaker 1: going to just point to twenty twenty in the election. 955 00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,560 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Syria coming up here. I was on 956 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,160 Speaker 1: Kennedy Show on Fox Business last night discussing this issue. 957 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,800 Speaker 1: I realized I didn't get into it right away, and 958 00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 1: I wanted to because we have some updates really on 959 00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:34,560 Speaker 1: where Trump stands on the Syria question to pull out 960 00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:38,759 Speaker 1: and what's going to happen there. And here's something that 961 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,200 Speaker 1: will shock none of you Trump. Trump did not blow 962 00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,400 Speaker 1: up the world with his decision. In fact, it's probably 963 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:49,440 Speaker 1: going to be a good decision that's coming up. You 964 00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:53,920 Speaker 1: are now entering the Freedom Hontacle Operation Center. All S 965 00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:58,759 Speaker 1: programs musty caps strictly need to know Team Buck is 966 00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 1: cleared and ready for a Buck brief. Well, there's so 967 00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:04,960 Speaker 1: many foolish things this man has done, but this, Frank's 968 00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:09,400 Speaker 1: pretty high a decision that is dangerous and a decision 969 00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:13,120 Speaker 1: that is a Christmas present to Vladimir Putin, giving a 970 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:17,720 Speaker 1: huge Christmas present to Putin and to Iran. I couldn't 971 00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,520 Speaker 1: disagree more with this decision. It's a terrible decision. I 972 00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:23,480 Speaker 1: think this will be considered one of the worst foreign 973 00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:29,040 Speaker 1: policy blunders of this century. So that was the left 974 00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:34,200 Speaker 1: right before the Christmas on Trump's announcement that we're gonna 975 00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:37,880 Speaker 1: We're gonna draw it down in Syria. Worst foreign policy 976 00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:41,879 Speaker 1: decision ever, worst thing ever. Now that that's very that's 977 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,839 Speaker 1: very powerful stuff to say when you've had a foreign 978 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:50,520 Speaker 1: policy establishment that has been supporting endless war in Afghanistan 979 00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:55,719 Speaker 1: and continued US military occupation or military presence, I should say, 980 00:56:55,920 --> 00:57:00,320 Speaker 1: in Iraq and now the expansion of that to include area. 981 00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:05,040 Speaker 1: I reject these notions that and I want to get 982 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:06,880 Speaker 1: into Syria in some detail with you in a moment here, 983 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:10,560 Speaker 1: but I reject this idea that I'm seeing bandied about 984 00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:17,320 Speaker 1: that we can turn Iraq and Afghanistan into more or 985 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:23,280 Speaker 1: less what we have with South Korea, with Okinawa in Japan, 986 00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:26,800 Speaker 1: and with Germany. You know, you point to these places 987 00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:30,240 Speaker 1: where in the aftermath of a war, we set up 988 00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,080 Speaker 1: a major US military base. Here's here's the problem for 989 00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:36,200 Speaker 1: that analogy. We're not in the aftermath of wars. We're 990 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 1: in ongoing conflict zones. And to have a military base 991 00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,920 Speaker 1: in an ongoing conflict zone is a very different thing. 992 00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,440 Speaker 1: Even if we are temporarily the guests of the host country, 993 00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,520 Speaker 1: we may not be welcome in the host country over 994 00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,040 Speaker 1: the long term and in the short term. There are 995 00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 1: real risks. If you go back and read about Reagan's 996 00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,600 Speaker 1: military intervention was part of a multinational Elian you know, 997 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,880 Speaker 1: you have a lot of kind of eerie deja vu 998 00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 1: about US military interventions in the Middle East. And as 999 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,120 Speaker 1: I've told you men, how many people will discuss this 1000 00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,560 Speaker 1: on their radio shows. Very few. But the French were 1001 00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:16,920 Speaker 1: bombing Damascus back in the nineteen twenties, back in the 1002 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,439 Speaker 1: in the early days of airplanes, where you know, what's 1003 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,200 Speaker 1: one of the first things the French air forces doing. 1004 00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:25,040 Speaker 1: They're bombing Damascus, trying to put down a revolt there. 1005 00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:29,360 Speaker 1: Back in in British and French, you know, British and 1006 00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:33,680 Speaker 1: French control of the region, you know, going back to 1007 00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 1: Psykes Pico, the Sykes Pico Agreement after World War One, 1008 00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,560 Speaker 1: so and by the way Jihattest in their propaganda will 1009 00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 1: still they'll talk about the Balfour Declaration in Sykes Pico. 1010 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,320 Speaker 1: You know, this all looms very large and that part 1011 00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,360 Speaker 1: of the world. You know here, I think people generally 1012 00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:51,320 Speaker 1: drop this stuff off the radar pretty quickly. But there's 1013 00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,280 Speaker 1: just no apt comparison between what's going on with our 1014 00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,320 Speaker 1: military presence in the Middle East and what happened after 1015 00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,160 Speaker 1: the Korean War the Second World War. And I think 1016 00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,760 Speaker 1: that we lull ourselves into a false sense of security 1017 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:09,000 Speaker 1: um by not really assessing the dangers that we face properly. 1018 00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,160 Speaker 1: You know, we thought we were able to be a 1019 00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:18,360 Speaker 1: stabilizing presence in Lebanon until Hesbella had had a suicide 1020 00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,800 Speaker 1: bomber drive a truck full of explosives into a US 1021 00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,960 Speaker 1: Marine barracks and kill over two hundred of our of 1022 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:29,120 Speaker 1: our of our marines, a number of a number of 1023 00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 1: Navy casualties beyond beyond the Marines as well. You know, 1024 00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:37,000 Speaker 1: that's that can happen in a day. That's not going 1025 00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 1: to happen in South Korea. It's not going to happen 1026 00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:43,000 Speaker 1: in Germany. It could happen in Afghanistan, and it definitely 1027 00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:48,080 Speaker 1: could happen in in Syria. So that's I think, you know, 1028 00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:50,720 Speaker 1: which obviously right next door to Lebanon. So that's one 1029 00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,600 Speaker 1: consideration that just we need to establish that right away. 1030 00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:58,560 Speaker 1: But also the hysteria around Trump's decision here and the 1031 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:02,920 Speaker 1: unwillingness to deal with the realities of what the so 1032 01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:08,200 Speaker 1: called smart set consensus or the you know, the foreign 1033 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 1: policy establishment, however you want to direct it, and the 1034 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:11,960 Speaker 1: people that think they know a lot about foreign policy, 1035 01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:14,480 Speaker 1: many of them were in favor and bybly, you know, 1036 01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,880 Speaker 1: Brett McGurk, he's I know, people I don't know him, 1037 01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:19,600 Speaker 1: but I some of the people that I trust the 1038 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:21,840 Speaker 1: most that still are on the national security side, they 1039 01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,480 Speaker 1: say the guy's a kind of a grand standard. And 1040 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,400 Speaker 1: it's really all about the you know, the way the 1041 01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,200 Speaker 1: media refers to Bret McGurk. I mean, you know, he's 1042 01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,880 Speaker 1: gonna get he's gonna be on the fifty thousand, one 1043 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:36,640 Speaker 1: hundred thousand, probably fifty thousand dollars elected circuit lecture circuit 1044 01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,000 Speaker 1: here for a while, and he's gonna be an anti 1045 01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,080 Speaker 1: Trumper who resigned, and it's a good it's a good 1046 01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:44,240 Speaker 1: brand move for him to leave at this point. Now, 1047 01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:47,160 Speaker 1: are there real concerns over the Koords and over what's 1048 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,480 Speaker 1: of course, but guess what Trump is now taking those 1049 01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,840 Speaker 1: concerns into account when he announced this, I was saying 1050 01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:55,760 Speaker 1: to you on this show. I wrote it on Twitter 1051 01:00:55,840 --> 01:01:00,240 Speaker 1: as well. I think he's right in the grants game 1052 01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,960 Speaker 1: of things, Trump's decision not to create this permanent US 1053 01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 1: military presence in Syria or se whatever that you know, 1054 01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,200 Speaker 1: nothing's ever permanent, right, so we can quibble, we can 1055 01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,800 Speaker 1: get into the semantics here. Oh, it's just you know, 1056 01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:14,439 Speaker 1: we're staying for a while. Okay, Well, if you're gonna 1057 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:16,760 Speaker 1: stay for ten years, it feels pretty permanent to be. 1058 01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,080 Speaker 1: And when was the last time we just said, hey, 1059 01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna take a military base and you know, well, 1060 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:23,840 Speaker 1: yeah we did it. You know we we we changed 1061 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:27,360 Speaker 1: our presence in Saudi Arabia because of the pressure we 1062 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,080 Speaker 1: were under, you know, to stay in Saudi Arabia and 1063 01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,960 Speaker 1: security concerns and and the fact that the Middle East. 1064 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:34,400 Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at Ben Laden in the 1065 01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:38,000 Speaker 1: Earth in the early days of Ben Laden's manifestos. People 1066 01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,160 Speaker 1: forget about this now, but it was US military presence 1067 01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:45,640 Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia that was getting this guy so hot 1068 01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:50,240 Speaker 1: and bothered. Um, so you know, you look at this 1069 01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,760 Speaker 1: decision that that Trump made and all ever was just 1070 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:57,120 Speaker 1: always the worst decision ever. He's getting guarantees of security 1071 01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,880 Speaker 1: for the Kords. He's slowing it down. So now it's 1072 01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:02,880 Speaker 1: going to take about one hundred and twenty days. And 1073 01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:08,040 Speaker 1: that is important on its own because it tells you 1074 01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,479 Speaker 1: how in trench we really are. You know, this isn't 1075 01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:12,600 Speaker 1: like all right, everybody like, you know, pack up the trucks, 1076 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,160 Speaker 1: you know, hop on a few hop on a few 1077 01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:18,640 Speaker 1: Blackhawks and get out of dodge. No, this is we 1078 01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,640 Speaker 1: got a real infrastructure in place in Syria now. And 1079 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,120 Speaker 1: you know I've opposed this, stretching back to I think 1080 01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:29,040 Speaker 1: I wrote a National Review a piece titled Assad an 1081 01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:32,760 Speaker 1: Arab Problem in twenty twelve where I was like, look, 1082 01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:34,920 Speaker 1: we should not have you, we should not have boots 1083 01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:37,120 Speaker 1: on the ground in Syria. It's a bad idea for X, 1084 01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:40,640 Speaker 1: Y and Z reasons. And I think that so that 1085 01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:43,640 Speaker 1: was where I thought, almost now gone on seven years ago. 1086 01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:46,240 Speaker 1: So I'm not new to this. Let's not make Syria 1087 01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:51,720 Speaker 1: another another Iraq like situation. I've tried to be at 1088 01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:55,800 Speaker 1: least to be principal on foreign policy is well, to 1089 01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,560 Speaker 1: be consistent on foreign policy means that you're not taking 1090 01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,760 Speaker 1: new information account right, You're going to be changing with 1091 01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:03,720 Speaker 1: the realities in the ground as much as you can. 1092 01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:08,040 Speaker 1: But to me, principal is I think important because ultimately 1093 01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,240 Speaker 1: this is about US security and about making sure that 1094 01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:12,080 Speaker 1: we don't have troop commitments that we should not have, 1095 01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,400 Speaker 1: that we don't have people that are put our people 1096 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,840 Speaker 1: put in harm's way for a fight that's not their fight, 1097 01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:21,400 Speaker 1: which is now that the Islamic State has been effectively suppressed, 1098 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:26,520 Speaker 1: I won't say defeated or eradicated, suppressed. We can have 1099 01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:28,960 Speaker 1: that discussion about what comes next and who should be 1100 01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,160 Speaker 1: doing that fighting, and I think it's an important one 1101 01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 1: for us all to focus on. But think about what 1102 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:39,640 Speaker 1: the alternative was here. Think about the alternative, and that is, 1103 01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:43,120 Speaker 1: if the foreign policy elites get what they want on Syria, 1104 01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,560 Speaker 1: it would mean that we stay and now we're committed 1105 01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:50,360 Speaker 1: to trying to get a political settlement. What the what 1106 01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:54,680 Speaker 1: does that political settlement look look like? You have ASSAD 1107 01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:59,760 Speaker 1: with Russian and Iranian backing, in control of a vast 1108 01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:02,480 Speaker 1: majority of the Syrian population, it can be a little 1109 01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,200 Speaker 1: uh disorienting when you look at a map of Syria 1110 01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,000 Speaker 1: and you see the areas that the Kurds control. Most 1111 01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,600 Speaker 1: of what they control is desert with some roads connecting 1112 01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,920 Speaker 1: some villages. There's not a lot of major population. The 1113 01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:20,720 Speaker 1: population centers Damascus, Aleppo, Hama, homes, you know, all these 1114 01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:26,440 Speaker 1: different la Latakia. I mean, these are places that the regime, 1115 01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,280 Speaker 1: the Assad regime controls, and that's where people live. So 1116 01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:34,040 Speaker 1: the population is already overwhelmingly under under the control of 1117 01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:38,560 Speaker 1: the Assad regime, and that's not going to change. There 1118 01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:42,360 Speaker 1: is no world, there's no future in which we are 1119 01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:44,600 Speaker 1: going to get Assad to step down. We're going to 1120 01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,960 Speaker 1: get a you know, elections to be held or Assad one. 1121 01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:52,680 Speaker 1: Assad had managed to outlast and therefore defeat the anti 1122 01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:57,080 Speaker 1: Assad resistance in Syria. That is reality, and that the 1123 01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:01,800 Speaker 1: Russians and the Iranians run stin pardon the wordplay, and 1124 01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:05,400 Speaker 1: backed him at a critical moment to prevent them from 1125 01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:09,000 Speaker 1: overrunning him. That's now just history. That happened, that was 1126 01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:11,920 Speaker 1: under the Obama administration's watch. We can't change that to 1127 01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:15,960 Speaker 1: think that now this laid in the game, we are 1128 01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:19,360 Speaker 1: going to have some kind of leverage visa VI. The 1129 01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:22,680 Speaker 1: Asad regime to push for a political set of settlement 1130 01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:27,200 Speaker 1: that says, what, a full Kurdish autonomy in these areas 1131 01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,440 Speaker 1: is not acceptable to Turks, and the Turks will completely 1132 01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:33,840 Speaker 1: freak out about that. So what do we really think 1133 01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 1: this political you know, with with the Free Syrian Army 1134 01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,560 Speaker 1: or you know, whatever the acronym that they're using for 1135 01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:43,760 Speaker 1: it is now, but the resistance essentially is it's mostly 1136 01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:51,240 Speaker 1: Kurdish fighters still. So there's not a sufficient Sunni Arab 1137 01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:55,520 Speaker 1: force to take on the Assad regime in any meaningful way, 1138 01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:58,280 Speaker 1: and we don't want them to, you know, we're not 1139 01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:00,400 Speaker 1: looking for it because that just perpetuates the of a war. 1140 01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:04,320 Speaker 1: So this is what nobody wants to say. Assad one. 1141 01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:09,960 Speaker 1: The Iranians are there to stay, the Russians are there 1142 01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:12,640 Speaker 1: to stay. The Russians had a base, a naval base 1143 01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:17,480 Speaker 1: at Tartus long before we were even getting involved, or 1144 01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:20,920 Speaker 1: long before there was a Syrian civil war. That none 1145 01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:22,640 Speaker 1: of that's going to change. So what do we really 1146 01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:26,960 Speaker 1: think are no end in sight presence gives us in 1147 01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:29,520 Speaker 1: Syria helped suppresses the Islamic state. Well, we're hoping the 1148 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,640 Speaker 1: Kurdish fighters will suppress the Islamic State. We can still 1149 01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:34,280 Speaker 1: give them air cover. In fact, we've had a number 1150 01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:36,520 Speaker 1: of air strikes since Trump made the announcement. They've accelerated 1151 01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:40,560 Speaker 1: air strikes as part of the planned US withdrawal of troops. 1152 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,200 Speaker 1: So if we get guarantees of safety for the Kurds, 1153 01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:45,640 Speaker 1: the Kurds have already said that they're reaching out. I 1154 01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:47,040 Speaker 1: know we're getting deep in the weeds here, but some 1155 01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:49,520 Speaker 1: of you, you know, look, this is important issue. I mean, 1156 01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:51,120 Speaker 1: to really know it, you have to really dig into it. 1157 01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:54,320 Speaker 1: Otherwise it's just plat. Otherwise it's the idiocy of Nancy Pelosi. 1158 01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,240 Speaker 1: They get put into Christmas present, isn't you know? As 1159 01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,200 Speaker 1: I know the first thing about any of this stuff. 1160 01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:01,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it was Pelosi who said, not 1161 01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:03,880 Speaker 1: too long ago, the road the peace runs through Damascus, 1162 01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:05,760 Speaker 1: right before the Syrians civil war killed a half a 1163 01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,280 Speaker 1: million people. So you know, she doesn't know, she doesn't know. 1164 01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:13,200 Speaker 1: Squat not a deep thinker on these issues at all. 1165 01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,240 Speaker 1: But as you could hear from that sound bite, we 1166 01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:17,200 Speaker 1: came in with, oh yeah, that's right, you know, the 1167 01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:22,240 Speaker 1: Syrians or the you know, Christmas present for Prutin was 1168 01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:24,440 Speaker 1: the line that Democrats were all going with. You know, 1169 01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:28,680 Speaker 1: it's important to think critically about these issues. They matter. 1170 01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:32,400 Speaker 1: We have Americans who are in harm's way and we 1171 01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:34,480 Speaker 1: don't you know, we don't want to allow this area 1172 01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:36,680 Speaker 1: to become a launch pad for Jihatas to try to 1173 01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:39,520 Speaker 1: attack us and blow us up all over the world again. 1174 01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,440 Speaker 1: But we also can't build everyone else's society for them. 1175 01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:45,080 Speaker 1: They won't let us do it. Although I'm concerned no 1176 01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:46,800 Speaker 1: one's thinking about this right now, I don't think the 1177 01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,040 Speaker 1: Iraqis are going to let us stay that long. How 1178 01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:51,080 Speaker 1: Everyone just kind of assumes that our presence in Iraq 1179 01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:56,680 Speaker 1: is oh so welcome. Mmmm. That's uh, that's status a 1180 01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:59,200 Speaker 1: force agreement or that you know that okay that we 1181 01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:00,800 Speaker 1: have with them to be in country, And now that 1182 01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:04,560 Speaker 1: could go anytime. We don't know. Rocky politics are less 1183 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:06,320 Speaker 1: stable than we think, and they're certain they're less pro 1184 01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,040 Speaker 1: American than we'd like to think too. By the way, 1185 01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,480 Speaker 1: Doug McGregor's a retired Army colonel. I've been seeing him 1186 01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:13,960 Speaker 1: in the green room over at Fox. We've been talking. 1187 01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:15,720 Speaker 1: We've been chewing this issue over a lot lately. We 1188 01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,519 Speaker 1: have a lot of fun chatting about these different foreign 1189 01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,040 Speaker 1: policy challenges. You know, here's what he said about Syria. 1190 01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:23,080 Speaker 1: Play fourteen. You've got to remember that most of your 1191 01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:26,240 Speaker 1: senior officers or products of the Clinton, Bush Obama era, 1192 01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:29,839 Speaker 1: so they have a lot invested in this. And remember 1193 01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,000 Speaker 1: that the people who live in the seven zip codes 1194 01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,320 Speaker 1: in and around Washington, DC have all become millionaires as 1195 01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:39,560 Speaker 1: a result of their investment in these failed operation and 1196 01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,120 Speaker 1: you have a lot of resistance to ending something that's 1197 01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:45,160 Speaker 1: been profitable for them. It hasn't been profitable for the 1198 01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,599 Speaker 1: American people. It's been a disaster, trillions dollars in debt 1199 01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:52,000 Speaker 1: over the last seventeen years, thousands of people killed and wounded, 1200 01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:56,960 Speaker 1: and for what. The answer is not much. Not a 1201 01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:58,920 Speaker 1: lot of folks want to say it. I think I 1202 01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:02,960 Speaker 1: think Colonel McGregor is at least above the target, if 1203 01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:06,479 Speaker 1: not right on target. I mean he's close. He is 1204 01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:09,880 Speaker 1: a He very much thinks that there's a financial incentive 1205 01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,920 Speaker 1: for the elites that never gets brought into these discussions. 1206 01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:16,960 Speaker 1: But you know, that's a thread that I'll have to 1207 01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:20,280 Speaker 1: pull out and look at a little bit more. But 1208 01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:23,519 Speaker 1: he really goes after that Play fifteen. People know, once 1209 01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:26,200 Speaker 1: we leave Syria, once we get completely out of Iraq. 1210 01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:30,519 Speaker 1: Once we get completely out of Afghanistan, it's over. And 1211 01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,760 Speaker 1: President Trump is going to do that. That's very clear. 1212 01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:36,840 Speaker 1: We got the Syrian government to go in there, we 1213 01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:40,160 Speaker 1: got out. Now we have created an enormous problem for 1214 01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:43,679 Speaker 1: mister Putin because mister Putin has cultivated the Turks, Mister 1215 01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:47,760 Speaker 1: Putin has also cultivated his Iranian and Syrian allies. He's 1216 01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:50,360 Speaker 1: got to make a choice. Does he allow the Turks 1217 01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:53,519 Speaker 1: into Syria, then he loses his position with the Syrians 1218 01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,559 Speaker 1: and the Iranians. So the notion that mister Putin has 1219 01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,800 Speaker 1: somehow another one something is absurd. This has been a 1220 01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:03,920 Speaker 1: a clever move on the part of the President, essentially 1221 01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,280 Speaker 1: saying it's the opposite of a Christmas present for prudent. 1222 01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:10,240 Speaker 1: Whether Prutin realized it or not. So interesting, interesting, kind 1223 01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,800 Speaker 1: of kind of contrarit analysis from Colonel McGregor. There. We'll 1224 01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,040 Speaker 1: have him on the show soon. I saw Doug just 1225 01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:17,400 Speaker 1: last night over Fox. We'll have him on. You know, 1226 01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:21,280 Speaker 1: he's a he's a smart guy and he calls it 1227 01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:23,640 Speaker 1: like he sees it. All right, quick break team, We'll 1228 01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:26,920 Speaker 1: be right back. Hold on a second. I'm gonna get 1229 01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:35,519 Speaker 1: me a beer. Hey, my husband Bruce is now do 1230 01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:39,519 Speaker 1: you want to pass on beer for now? I pass? Oh? Yeah, 1231 01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:43,120 Speaker 1: So this is my speedy flow. Oh it's my sweet 1232 01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:49,040 Speaker 1: thank you for being here. Hello. That was Elizabeth Warren 1233 01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:52,600 Speaker 1: being so likable. I'm gonna get me a beer, she 1234 01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:56,280 Speaker 1: says as she's making a video in an effort to 1235 01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:59,599 Speaker 1: deal with the unlikability factor. Some of the dumbest political 1236 01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:01,679 Speaker 1: ANALYSI I've heard in a long time, which is saying 1237 01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:05,719 Speaker 1: a lot revolves around this idea that unlikable is somehow 1238 01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:11,320 Speaker 1: a word, a word that is a sexist word. And 1239 01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:13,080 Speaker 1: I sit here, I'm like, all I heard about Ted 1240 01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,120 Speaker 1: Cruise from the Trump supporters in the primary, it was 1241 01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,479 Speaker 1: how unlikable Ted Cruise was. So, you know, lots of 1242 01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,160 Speaker 1: people are on John Kasik is unlikable. It's nothing to 1243 01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:24,519 Speaker 1: do with sexism. So I guess I'm not going to 1244 01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:27,680 Speaker 1: get a kas exclusive interview anytime soon. But nonetheless, I 1245 01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:31,400 Speaker 1: don't care. But Warren is trying so hard. Oh gosh, 1246 01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:34,120 Speaker 1: and now she's also trying to deal with the massive Yeah, 1247 01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:35,800 Speaker 1: that was a video that she released. Oh I'm just 1248 01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,839 Speaker 1: getting me a beer. Oh yeah, I'm gonna sound folksy 1249 01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:42,479 Speaker 1: so people like me. She also had to deal with 1250 01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:45,880 Speaker 1: the whole Native American heritage situation that well, it doesn't 1251 01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:50,799 Speaker 1: exist right her heritage play clip twelfth. Now the president 1252 01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:53,840 Speaker 1: likes to call my mom a liar. What do the 1253 01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:58,280 Speaker 1: facts say? You absolutely have a Native American ancestor in 1254 01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:01,519 Speaker 1: your pedigree. I'm not enrolled to tribe and only tribe 1255 01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:06,080 Speaker 1: to determine tribal citizenship. I understand and respect that distinction. 1256 01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:11,000 Speaker 1: But my family history is my family history. Her truth 1257 01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:13,559 Speaker 1: is her truth, you see, and her truth is a lie. 1258 01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:19,400 Speaker 1: This is this is really stretching the limits of sanity 1259 01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:23,680 Speaker 1: here with Elizabeth Warren. You know what was that she 1260 01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:27,200 Speaker 1: released the DNA test and she's one one thousand and 1261 01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:29,639 Speaker 1: twenty four that that doesn't count. I love today Trump. 1262 01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:34,240 Speaker 1: Trump tweeted out, you know a a meme that was 1263 01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:39,160 Speaker 1: Warren Warren one one thousand and twenty twentieth, which was 1264 01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:44,480 Speaker 1: just great. She's she's done, You're here, she's done. Democrats 1265 01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:48,000 Speaker 1: to be better running freshman Congresswoman Occasio Quartez. I really 1266 01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:51,000 Speaker 1: mean that they'd be better running her, No question for president. 1267 01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:54,439 Speaker 1: No Elizabeth Warren. Elizabeth Warren's career in terms of the 1268 01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:58,679 Speaker 1: presidencies toast well, you know, after he was elected president, 1269 01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:01,960 Speaker 1: it was very much my hope that he would rise 1270 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:04,799 Speaker 1: to the occasion, rise to the mantle of the office. 1271 01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:08,400 Speaker 1: After all, becoming president of the United States is quite 1272 01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,040 Speaker 1: an elevation for anybody. And he has said during the 1273 01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:14,479 Speaker 1: campaign that he could be extraordinary presidential. When I hear that, 1274 01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:19,320 Speaker 1: I think of Washington and Lincoln and Jefferson and Roosevelt 1275 01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:22,959 Speaker 1: and Kennedy and Eisenhower, and I think of those qualities. 1276 01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:26,519 Speaker 1: And I think that while he spoke of that, and 1277 01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,799 Speaker 1: while that was my hope, I don't think he's followed 1278 01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,600 Speaker 1: through on that front the way he's followed through on 1279 01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:36,400 Speaker 1: some of his other promises. I would like to just 1280 01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:41,920 Speaker 1: take issue again with the whole Mitt Romney assault on 1281 01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:46,240 Speaker 1: the Trump presidency that was set off the first remember 1282 01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:48,680 Speaker 1: first day back in the new year. Everyone's getting back 1283 01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:52,400 Speaker 1: into their business, and Mitt Romney decides that he's going 1284 01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:54,680 Speaker 1: to not take a shot across the babbot, really a 1285 01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:56,840 Speaker 1: shot into the bow of the administration, and he's really 1286 01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:00,640 Speaker 1: going to go after Trump in his public publicly a 1287 01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:03,519 Speaker 1: waist as he can, and you know, just going on 1288 01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:06,400 Speaker 1: seeing in all these other places to just trash trash 1289 01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:08,760 Speaker 1: the president's character. I just think it'sentionally that that he 1290 01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:14,040 Speaker 1: says presidential and he names all these people, and it's 1291 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:17,000 Speaker 1: as though he's not nearly as sophisticated a thinker as 1292 01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:21,320 Speaker 1: he would like to believe he is. Because this notion 1293 01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:25,320 Speaker 1: that that that presidents in the past were so presidential 1294 01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:27,960 Speaker 1: doesn't stand up to scrutiny. I mean, when you say 1295 01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:31,840 Speaker 1: presidential in the in the sense of people of tremendous 1296 01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:35,080 Speaker 1: honor and personal integrity and dignating all this, Yeah, there 1297 01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:38,280 Speaker 1: have been some. There have also been scoundrels who were 1298 01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:40,920 Speaker 1: the president. I mean there have been people who are president. 1299 01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,920 Speaker 1: And now this is not to say, oh that we 1300 01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:46,320 Speaker 1: know we can't criticize presidents for bad behavior, and no, 1301 01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:47,880 Speaker 1: it's not that at all. This isn't a what about 1302 01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,360 Speaker 1: ism or moral relativism or anything. I'm just saying I 1303 01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:53,519 Speaker 1: wish Mitt had thought this through a little bit more. 1304 01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:58,040 Speaker 1: You're gonna talk about being presidential and you're gonna name JFK, who, 1305 01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,320 Speaker 1: by the way, you know, talking about nepotism, appointed his 1306 01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:04,439 Speaker 1: brother to be attorney general, so that that seems pretty 1307 01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:08,439 Speaker 1: nepotistic to me. And if you're going to discuss personal conduct. 1308 01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:12,000 Speaker 1: You know this, just go and you can read in 1309 01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:14,080 Speaker 1: the memoir of some young woman I think she was 1310 01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:16,840 Speaker 1: nineteen the White House at the time. I won't get 1311 01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:18,760 Speaker 1: into the details, but let's just say that there was 1312 01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:25,320 Speaker 1: a lot of lascivious and decidedly unpresidential behavior going on 1313 01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:27,560 Speaker 1: in the Kennedy White House, and we just know not 1314 01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:30,840 Speaker 1: even the half of it. You go back and you 1315 01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:35,519 Speaker 1: look at president's past. It's just I'm not even going 1316 01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:37,320 Speaker 1: with the whole Bill Clinton thing, which don't even get 1317 01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:40,040 Speaker 1: me started. Right, We've we've already had this national conversation 1318 01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:44,320 Speaker 1: about presidential conduct and actions. And you know what the 1319 01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:49,160 Speaker 1: Democrats decided in the nineties with the media as much 1320 01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:51,840 Speaker 1: of it's a saturation presence in our lives as it is, 1321 01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:54,160 Speaker 1: is as long as the person's given us what we want, 1322 01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,040 Speaker 1: we're going to support them and we don't really care. 1323 01:15:56,760 --> 01:16:00,880 Speaker 1: And even up to and including clear violations of law, 1324 01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:03,960 Speaker 1: which were the case with you know, Bill Clinton and 1325 01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:07,120 Speaker 1: some of the other Hillary Clinton later on, but even 1326 01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:09,840 Speaker 1: the case of clear violations of law. So we've already 1327 01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:12,200 Speaker 1: had this conversation. I just I think it's interesting that 1328 01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:17,360 Speaker 1: the standard that Mitt Romney's sites isn't even really the 1329 01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:22,240 Speaker 1: standard sounding presidential What does that mean? Mit Romney's editorial 1330 01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:24,519 Speaker 1: that he wrote in the Washington Post did not give 1331 01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:29,519 Speaker 1: me a single takeaway for what a person should do 1332 01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:33,800 Speaker 1: in a tough policy decision or on a tough policy issue. 1333 01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:35,479 Speaker 1: There was nothing other than just you know, view of 1334 01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:37,680 Speaker 1: our allies. And you know that I know that it 1335 01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:40,640 Speaker 1: was the most boiler plate. I felt like I was 1336 01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:43,439 Speaker 1: reading a high school valedictorian speech where at the end 1337 01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:47,599 Speaker 1: he's gonna say, so, we need to seize the future. Thanks, Mitt, 1338 01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:50,799 Speaker 1: will be sure that we focus on seizing the future. 1339 01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:54,760 Speaker 1: You know, Carpay, DM will seize the day. Whatever. I 1340 01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:57,800 Speaker 1: think it's I think it's nonsense. And this idea that 1341 01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:01,000 Speaker 1: Trump hasn't risen the occasion, I sit here. I sit 1342 01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:05,760 Speaker 1: here as somebody who was a Trump voter but definitely 1343 01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:11,719 Speaker 1: little skeptical of how this would go. And if nothing else, 1344 01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:16,120 Speaker 1: you've got to give this guy credit for withstanding the 1345 01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:18,920 Speaker 1: withering assault on him from the media. I mean, the 1346 01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:24,000 Speaker 1: media is psychotically anti Trump. They embarrassed themselves with their 1347 01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:27,960 Speaker 1: anti trumpism, and we just assumed that, oh, well, you know, 1348 01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:30,840 Speaker 1: Trump could handle it because anybody would handle. That's not 1349 01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:36,920 Speaker 1: true if you put a standard issue GOP establishment guy 1350 01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:40,839 Speaker 1: in the Oval office, who was the one who stopped Hillary, 1351 01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:43,519 Speaker 1: who stopped the Great Glass ceiling from being shattered and 1352 01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:46,560 Speaker 1: all this stuff, and was subject to the kind of 1353 01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:52,160 Speaker 1: just lunacy. You know, he's a conspiracy with Russia. He's 1354 01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:55,200 Speaker 1: a racist, he's a criminal, he's a trader, he's you know, 1355 01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:59,240 Speaker 1: you've got former heads of intel agencies calling this sitting 1356 01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:04,760 Speaker 1: president United States somebody who's committed treason. You know, if 1357 01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:06,960 Speaker 1: we're really going to keep score and look at what 1358 01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:11,559 Speaker 1: has done with it's risen the occasion. This guy's tenacity. Mean, 1359 01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:18,200 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's ability to take the heat is phenomenal. I 1360 01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:20,479 Speaker 1: mean it's in the sense of it's a real he's 1361 01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:24,479 Speaker 1: a phenom. It is not normal. This would break other people. 1362 01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:26,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I know it. Bush by the end of 1363 01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:28,960 Speaker 1: his presidency, just from all the media criticism and the 1364 01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:32,360 Speaker 1: rock War stuff. I mean, he was he was operating 1365 01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:35,040 Speaker 1: on fumes. And I don't mean the last six months, 1366 01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:37,880 Speaker 1: I mean the last four years and not have a 1367 01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:42,320 Speaker 1: lot left in the tank. And he wasn't subjected to 1368 01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:44,560 Speaker 1: quite the same it was. It was bad, and you know, 1369 01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:48,759 Speaker 1: I think we easily forget about how much we heard 1370 01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:51,600 Speaker 1: that Republicans were Nazis even in the Bush era, and 1371 01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:54,519 Speaker 1: that you know, Republicans were you know, war criminals in 1372 01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:56,400 Speaker 1: the Bush era. You know, now it's just nothing new. 1373 01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:59,479 Speaker 1: Every every Republican president is going to be accused by 1374 01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:02,200 Speaker 1: the media of having cheated in the election. Somehow every 1375 01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:04,760 Speaker 1: Republican president's a legitimate I mean, this is nothing new. 1376 01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:08,000 Speaker 1: This is the new standard that the left wing loons 1377 01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:12,439 Speaker 1: are are asserting, or at least we can see in 1378 01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:16,360 Speaker 1: them asserting it. Anyway, back to Actor Romney here for 1379 01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:21,720 Speaker 1: a second, then, I feel like he he seems to 1380 01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:24,040 Speaker 1: think that what he did had to be done, that 1381 01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:27,040 Speaker 1: Romney had to write this op ed and had to 1382 01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:31,560 Speaker 1: trash the president after, as I mentioned yesterday, seeking his 1383 01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:34,600 Speaker 1: endorsement asking him to be Secretary of State. You know 1384 01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:38,040 Speaker 1: it when it benefits Romney. He's all about Trump. So 1385 01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:40,000 Speaker 1: I think that makes it really hard to take this 1386 01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:43,040 Speaker 1: guy seriously when he wants to be the one speaking 1387 01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:46,599 Speaker 1: truth to power about Trump and now he says, well, 1388 01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:48,320 Speaker 1: you know, we're going to have a good relationship. Play eight. 1389 01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:51,439 Speaker 1: I continued to point out places where we're different and 1390 01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:54,920 Speaker 1: That's the great nature of this representative democracy, which is 1391 01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:58,000 Speaker 1: where we agree, we come together. Where there are disagreements, 1392 01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:01,519 Speaker 1: we express those openly and honestly. That allows people to 1393 01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:03,760 Speaker 1: have trust in one another. And I look forward to 1394 01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:06,400 Speaker 1: being able to have a trusting relationship with the president 1395 01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:11,320 Speaker 1: and with others, despite differences from time to time. You know, 1396 01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:15,759 Speaker 1: I think it's hard to have a trusting relationship where somebody, 1397 01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:23,200 Speaker 1: in a really unprovoked an unproductive fashion, goes after your 1398 01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:26,799 Speaker 1: character so publicly. And I don't think that we needed 1399 01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:31,400 Speaker 1: a lecture on presidential decorum from failed candidate Mitt Romney. 1400 01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:34,120 Speaker 1: I really don't, and I can't help but notice that, 1401 01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, you look back at the pre Trump GOP 1402 01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:45,120 Speaker 1: offerings for the presidency, and you've got You've got Romney, 1403 01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:50,839 Speaker 1: and before that, you've got McCain, two people who perhaps 1404 01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:55,040 Speaker 1: in fashion only rivaled by like John Kasik and maybe 1405 01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:59,200 Speaker 1: Jeff Flake, or two people who are really fair weather Republicans, 1406 01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:05,960 Speaker 1: not Republicans when it counts at all, not conservatives not 1407 01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,160 Speaker 1: supporting GOP in order to get things done, but are 1408 01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:13,160 Speaker 1: much more concerned with their own quests for personal political glory. 1409 01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:16,880 Speaker 1: It says a lot think about that before Trump. We 1410 01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:22,519 Speaker 1: had Romney and McCain, and these are those are both people. 1411 01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:25,000 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously McCain's passed away, but these are both 1412 01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:28,400 Speaker 1: people who went after went after Trump with everything they have, 1413 01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:31,599 Speaker 1: and I just would i'd feel a little bit more 1414 01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:36,919 Speaker 1: comfortable with their criticisms, although I will disagree with them regardless, 1415 01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:38,400 Speaker 1: but I feel a little uncomfortable. I felt like there 1416 01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:47,000 Speaker 1: was just some introspection, some willingness to just dive into 1417 01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:49,160 Speaker 1: why is it that that Trump was it? Why did 1418 01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:52,679 Speaker 1: Trump win? It's not because of Russia. Only idiots think that, Okay, 1419 01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:55,040 Speaker 1: it's not because of Russia. Why did Trump win? What 1420 01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:57,880 Speaker 1: did he tap into? It's not xenophobia or racism either. 1421 01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:00,439 Speaker 1: You get a lot of previous Obama voters who voted 1422 01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:04,120 Speaker 1: for Trump. What is it? Well, there's something at the 1423 01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:09,439 Speaker 1: core of American cultural and political life right now that 1424 01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:14,560 Speaker 1: feels rotten, and if nothing else, Trump is willing to 1425 01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:20,000 Speaker 1: speak about that and willing to call out the system 1426 01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:24,880 Speaker 1: and it's inequities, the unfairness that exists within our system, 1427 01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:28,439 Speaker 1: and a lot of the GOP elite, a lot of 1428 01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:32,439 Speaker 1: the GOP establishment, you know, wants to just tell us all, 1429 01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:34,599 Speaker 1: you know, just look at Milton Friedman. You know, open markets, 1430 01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:39,080 Speaker 1: free trade, everything's great. You know, no, everything is not great. 1431 01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:42,559 Speaker 1: Everything is not fair. The market is not just speaking 1432 01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:45,719 Speaker 1: all the time. In fact, there's a lot of self 1433 01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:50,360 Speaker 1: dealing and self interest that's driving these decisions by government. 1434 01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:53,920 Speaker 1: So at least Trump says it's a swamp and it's gross. 1435 01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:56,720 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a start. Romney and McCain's even to 1436 01:22:56,760 --> 01:22:58,800 Speaker 1: think it's all about great public service, and we know 1437 01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:04,000 Speaker 1: it's not.

Man. 1476 01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:00,320 Speaker 1: It's uh, it's easy to get rattled, you know when 1477 01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:02,560 Speaker 1: you see the And one thing I had noticed was 1478 01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:04,080 Speaker 1: just funny when you're watching the news all day like 1479 01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:07,320 Speaker 1: I do, is when the stock market's plummeting, you know, 1480 01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:09,599 Speaker 1: the stations go hey wire and you have to dial 1481 01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:11,240 Speaker 1: up there. And then at the end of the day 1482 01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:12,720 Speaker 1: when it turns around, like the other day we had 1483 01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:15,920 Speaker 1: with that the biggest turnaround in stock market history when 1484 01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:17,920 Speaker 1: it was getting it down. That was down six hundred 1485 01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:20,160 Speaker 1: and yeah, one up a thousand. Well yeah that was 1486 01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:22,000 Speaker 1: like one day. Yeah, one day went up on a thousand, 1487 01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:23,880 Speaker 1: but then the next day it went down I think 1488 01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:27,200 Speaker 1: six hundred and finished plus two hundred's eight hundred points 1489 01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:29,320 Speaker 1: swing it was the biggest swing in the history of 1490 01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:32,080 Speaker 1: the stock market. And why the style When the market 1491 01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:34,240 Speaker 1: was getting hammered, they're all over like, oh, it's six 1492 01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:36,439 Speaker 1: down six hundred phen it's down six hundred points, But 1493 01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:38,400 Speaker 1: when it fished up two hundred points, they didn't really 1494 01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:41,240 Speaker 1: talk about it. I thought that was interesting, you know. 1495 01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:43,960 Speaker 1: I've i guess, like in a classic you know, like 1496 01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:47,400 Speaker 1: a classic almost forty conservative. I've really taken an interest 1497 01:25:47,439 --> 01:25:49,000 Speaker 1: in investing in more four oh one K in the 1498 01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:51,200 Speaker 1: last couple of years and people listen to the show now. 1499 01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:53,479 Speaker 1: I've actually even done some work with a with a 1500 01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:56,680 Speaker 1: financial research group called Stansbury. Just great guys that do 1501 01:25:56,920 --> 01:26:00,439 Speaker 1: do fantastic work. Um. And but you know, I'm a novice, right, 1502 01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:02,280 Speaker 1: I'm a novice investment. This one thing that I do 1503 01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:06,160 Speaker 1: know is nobody can time the market. And the way 1504 01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:08,960 Speaker 1: you really hurt yourself is by trying to time the 1505 01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:12,920 Speaker 1: market and selling when basically things get scary. You sell 1506 01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:16,160 Speaker 1: because not only you losing, you know, you're basically selling 1507 01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:18,240 Speaker 1: what it's low and buying what it's high, which is 1508 01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:20,559 Speaker 1: not what you want to do. You're also paying fees, 1509 01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:22,800 Speaker 1: even if they're not very big fees. And all those transactions, 1510 01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:25,080 Speaker 1: so I can give that little bit of I've picked 1511 01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:27,800 Speaker 1: up that bit of advice. Right. Yeah, there was a 1512 01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:30,599 Speaker 1: book when I was an amateur investor. I still am 1513 01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:32,760 Speaker 1: very amateur, but one of the books I read back 1514 01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:35,559 Speaker 1: in the day was a book by a guy named 1515 01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:38,120 Speaker 1: doctor Jeremy Siegel who taught to the University of Pennsylvania 1516 01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:40,040 Speaker 1: called Stocks for the Long Run. And it was just 1517 01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:43,479 Speaker 1: like that title always just stuck out to me, because 1518 01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:45,880 Speaker 1: you get in, you just got to stay in. I mean, 1519 01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:49,000 Speaker 1: go with like what you like and invest in the 1520 01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:50,720 Speaker 1: companies want to invest in, but don't do it for 1521 01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:56,479 Speaker 1: a short term. And that's basically you know, there's a couple. Yeah, 1522 01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:58,640 Speaker 1: this is what I was telling everybody that you know, 1523 01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:01,000 Speaker 1: Producer Minke and I talk about out. We talked about 1524 01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:03,960 Speaker 1: our portfolio sometimes in the breaks between. And for those 1525 01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:05,320 Speaker 1: of you are like, oh, buck, I don't care about 1526 01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:08,240 Speaker 1: stock investing, well, you know, the stock market is first 1527 01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:11,639 Speaker 1: of all, it's necessary to keep all of our pension 1528 01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:14,479 Speaker 1: plans going. And you know, the stock market is not 1529 01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:16,640 Speaker 1: just for people that that are trying to you know, 1530 01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:19,559 Speaker 1: grow grow their own personal wealth over time. There are 1531 01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:23,000 Speaker 1: real important tie ins to to the economy and ways 1532 01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:25,519 Speaker 1: that affect pretty much everybody. You're four one k obviously, 1533 01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:28,040 Speaker 1: but even if you have a pension plan, the stock 1534 01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:30,160 Speaker 1: market plays a big role in it because those pension 1535 01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:32,439 Speaker 1: plans at the state level, a lot of them rely 1536 01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:38,280 Speaker 1: on five six percent annualized growth, which a lot you know, 1537 01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:40,439 Speaker 1: you look at a year like last year, they didn't 1538 01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:42,400 Speaker 1: hit their five percent growth marks, I'm sure on a 1539 01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:45,280 Speaker 1: lot of major funds. So you know, I think it's 1540 01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:47,160 Speaker 1: important for people to pay some attention to it. But 1541 01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:49,960 Speaker 1: I'm I'm just you know, trying to trying to learn 1542 01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:52,280 Speaker 1: as I go here, and I just feel like a 1543 01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:54,400 Speaker 1: couple a couple of things that I tell myself to 1544 01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:56,439 Speaker 1: make myself feel a little better. One is, if you 1545 01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:59,400 Speaker 1: look at the Dow Jones going all the way back 1546 01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,760 Speaker 1: to nineteen seventy eight, I think, which is when it 1547 01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:06,639 Speaker 1: they started tracking it, um, there is a very clear trend, 1548 01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:09,639 Speaker 1: and that is that over time, it goes up. Over time, 1549 01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:13,040 Speaker 1: the US stock market is getting wealthier and wealthier. And 1550 01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:15,800 Speaker 1: you know, so if you to your point, Mike, if 1551 01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:19,280 Speaker 1: you take that long term view, uh, you're gonna be 1552 01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:21,800 Speaker 1: in better shape than if you're trying to essentially day trade, 1553 01:28:21,880 --> 01:28:23,959 Speaker 1: which is not a good idea. I do not recommend 1554 01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:27,280 Speaker 1: that for folks, right, yeah, And I think you know, 1555 01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:30,960 Speaker 1: we've had these interest rate hikes also, which are you 1556 01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:32,920 Speaker 1: know that didn't happen during the Bomb administration. There was 1557 01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:34,760 Speaker 1: no interest rate hikes. And we've had a few, which 1558 01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:36,840 Speaker 1: is fine, which is good. And I think once we 1559 01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:39,360 Speaker 1: were you know, once the market adjust to the hikes, 1560 01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:42,439 Speaker 1: I think and by end of the first quarter twenty nineteen, 1561 01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:44,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna forget all about this because it's going to 1562 01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:48,439 Speaker 1: be back to running wild again. Yeah. Yeah, I think 1563 01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:49,960 Speaker 1: I think there's a good things are gonna pick up, 1564 01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:51,599 Speaker 1: you know, I think things are gonna get better. Yeah, 1565 01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:54,519 Speaker 1: I did. When When was the first I'm trying to see, 1566 01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:58,559 Speaker 1: when was the first Dow Jones reading? Oh no, they 1567 01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:01,000 Speaker 1: have here Dow Jones and average goes all the way 1568 01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:04,240 Speaker 1: back to eighteen ninety six. What I thought they didn't 1569 01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:07,519 Speaker 1: start reading this? Uh oh maybe anyway, I think they've 1570 01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:10,439 Speaker 1: changed the indicase do the folks. This is where I'm 1571 01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:12,280 Speaker 1: getting beyond my you know, this is where I say 1572 01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:14,400 Speaker 1: I'm a novice. I'm a novice. Don't some of the 1573 01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:16,599 Speaker 1: basics I'm telling you are true, but don't don't take 1574 01:29:16,600 --> 01:29:18,240 Speaker 1: anything I say to the bank man, I'm trying to 1575 01:29:18,320 --> 01:29:20,680 Speaker 1: learn this stuff as I go. But it's fun. I 1576 01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:23,360 Speaker 1: gotta say, well, it's it's fun to be an adult 1577 01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:25,880 Speaker 1: who spend a lot of time developing expertise in some 1578 01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:28,439 Speaker 1: areas and show up. It's almost like I'm taking piano 1579 01:29:28,520 --> 01:29:30,679 Speaker 1: lessons for the first time. I'm like, huh, like someone 1580 01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:33,400 Speaker 1: explained to me ebitda. You know, it's a different a 1581 01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:36,080 Speaker 1: different approach. Another thing though, just for since since we're 1582 01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:38,880 Speaker 1: doing like bucks not so great financial or I should say, 1583 01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:41,680 Speaker 1: not so expert, the advice overall is pretty good. You know. 1584 01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:43,439 Speaker 1: A friend of mine told me recently. He's like, hey, 1585 01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:45,599 Speaker 1: you know you gotta you know you mentioned interest rates monkey, 1586 01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:47,120 Speaker 1: He's like, you got a savings account and said yeah. 1587 01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:48,960 Speaker 1: He said, well what are you getting on that savings account? 1588 01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:53,439 Speaker 1: I was like, uh, point zero six percent or something, 1589 01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:56,439 Speaker 1: and you know, there's there are places you can go 1590 01:29:56,640 --> 01:29:59,479 Speaker 1: you can get over a two percent return, which doesn't 1591 01:29:59,479 --> 01:30:02,439 Speaker 1: sound like a big deal, but it's actually nice. It 1592 01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:06,080 Speaker 1: actually makes a difference. Yeah, well, I'll book a financial 1593 01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:08,080 Speaker 1: expert and we could tell him, you know, our thoughts 1594 01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:09,400 Speaker 1: on what the market is, and he'd be like, all right, 1595 01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:13,120 Speaker 1: you guys aren't funny. He get a laugh at it. 1596 01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:16,920 Speaker 1: Don't listen to Buck. Yeah, I should stick to politics 1597 01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:19,160 Speaker 1: in natural security. That's really that's really the the end 1598 01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:21,599 Speaker 1: state of this conversation. But anyway, I just brought Mike 1599 01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:23,160 Speaker 1: on everybody because I want him to make me feel 1600 01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:27,639 Speaker 1: better about the Amazon and Facebook stock I own, because wow, 1601 01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:30,960 Speaker 1: they have been getting don't look, this is gonna be 1602 01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:33,760 Speaker 1: on I will yet, don't sweat it. You know what 1603 01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:36,840 Speaker 1: I actually say on a political side on Amy, you 1604 01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:39,559 Speaker 1: just mentioned Amazon. It's funny. I just read an article. 1605 01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:42,160 Speaker 1: There's a there's a few people I forget to where 1606 01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:44,919 Speaker 1: the guy's from might have been Barrens. He predicted Amazon 1607 01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:47,240 Speaker 1: Amazon sitting around fifteen hundred dollars a share right now. 1608 01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:49,679 Speaker 1: It was it's high in twenty eighteen, was a little 1609 01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:51,960 Speaker 1: over two thousand dollars a share. He was predicting four 1610 01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:58,240 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a share by ends of twenty nineteen. So wow, yeah, wow, 1611 01:30:58,320 --> 01:31:00,400 Speaker 1: he was a little bit off bullish.

But according to 1620 01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:25,120 Speaker 1: according Drudge Report, here Israeli model bar Raffaelli is facing 1621 01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:28,880 Speaker 1: criminal charges for tax evasion and perjury. You know, free, 1622 01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:31,040 Speaker 1: free bar Raffaelli is all I can say. So that's 1623 01:31:31,080 --> 01:31:34,840 Speaker 1: why she hasn't called me back exactly. I gotta tell you, 1624 01:31:34,840 --> 01:31:36,519 Speaker 1: I'm a fan and I'm glad she got rid of 1625 01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:41,439 Speaker 1: that bumm DiCaprio.

But yes, remember anyway, bucking 1627 01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:49,240 Speaker 1: bucking producer Mike's financial corner. Everybody, do not make any 1628 01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:53,200 Speaker 1: decisions based on anything leaves. I just wanted to want 1629 01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:54,800 Speaker 1: to vent a little bit on this one.

Indeed, 1635 01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:27,040 Speaker 1: another day in the life of mister buck Sexton here 1636 01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:29,720 Speaker 1: in DC. Thank you so much all for hanging out. 1637 01:32:29,760 --> 01:32:31,720 Speaker 1: I hope you're hope you're as happy to be back 1638 01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:33,600 Speaker 1: in the Hut as I am. I missed it. This 1639 01:32:33,720 --> 01:32:36,519 Speaker 1: is the problem I have with vacations is that vacation 1640 01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:40,080 Speaker 1: is really not something that I can fully enjoy. Knowing 1641 01:32:40,200 --> 01:32:43,240 Speaker 1: that every day that I'm out three days I can 1642 01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:44,840 Speaker 1: handle pretty well. I can be out for three days, 1643 01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:47,120 Speaker 1: maybe four. Once I get beyond that, I start to say, 1644 01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:50,240 Speaker 1: how I wonder, I wonder how the team's doing, you know, 1645 01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:53,120 Speaker 1: I wonder if if everybody's okay, you know, across the country, 1646 01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:56,360 Speaker 1: if everyone's you know, just making sure they're eating all 1647 01:32:56,360 --> 01:33:00,720 Speaker 1: their veggies and you know, spreading freedom, And I start 1648 01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:03,439 Speaker 1: to want My mind wanders back to that. So I 1649 01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:07,960 Speaker 1: can't really enjoy my mescal on the rocks and my 1650 01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:10,240 Speaker 1: beach time, which, by the way, I'm in desperate need 1651 01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:11,840 Speaker 1: of those two things, because I have not done that 1652 01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:14,160 Speaker 1: in quite a while. This year, I just stayed in 1653 01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:17,919 Speaker 1: the DC area. I really just was in on sleep patrol, 1654 01:33:18,720 --> 01:33:20,680 Speaker 1: which I know that's that's a boring story for me 1655 01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:21,840 Speaker 1: to tell you. So I'm not going to do that. 1656 01:33:21,960 --> 01:33:27,840 Speaker 1: Let's get right to it. Let's get to it here. Oh, 1657 01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:33,040 Speaker 1: hold on a second. Here we got a message from Wow, 1658 01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:39,840 Speaker 1: this is interesting interesting. This is from Fox News, and 1659 01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:42,519 Speaker 1: this is from I'm sorry, this is from Michael Rather, 1660 01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:45,360 Speaker 1: but he's sending me a Fox News. I'm just seeing 1661 01:33:45,400 --> 01:33:47,960 Speaker 1: this now. Apparently I made it onto their website, he says, 1662 01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:51,599 Speaker 1: bub you're really chopping in tall cotton. Now Fox News 1663 01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:56,479 Speaker 1: just assumes people know who you are. And there's Sexton, 1664 01:33:56,720 --> 01:34:00,960 Speaker 1: no Trump arrangement syndrome limits. There we go. I made 1665 01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:02,880 Speaker 1: it onto the front of the Fox News website for 1666 01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:05,920 Speaker 1: I suppose that was for out Was that for outnumbered? 1667 01:34:06,720 --> 01:34:08,960 Speaker 1: Or when when did I say that? Well, anyway, Michael, 1668 01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:10,519 Speaker 1: thank you for bringing in my attention. I don't even 1669 01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:12,400 Speaker 1: know I made it on the foxnews dot com website, 1670 01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:15,160 Speaker 1: but there you go. That's kind of fun. Yeah, that's 1671 01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:16,719 Speaker 1: one of the That's one of those things that always 1672 01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:21,160 Speaker 1: annoys me is depending on the outlet that writes about you. Obviously, 1673 01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:24,720 Speaker 1: Foxes that's that's my Even though I'm technically not a 1674 01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:28,000 Speaker 1: member of the family, I consider Fox my family. Have 1675 01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:30,040 Speaker 1: tons of friends over there. I do obviously a lot 1676 01:34:30,080 --> 01:34:33,680 Speaker 1: of shows and just very fond of the people who 1677 01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:37,000 Speaker 1: work at the network and obviously agree with what they're 1678 01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:41,560 Speaker 1: trying to do every day. But other places, you know, Mediaite, 1679 01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:46,200 Speaker 1: which is a kind of trade publication online for people 1680 01:34:46,240 --> 01:34:48,519 Speaker 1: that work in the media. You know, whether they call 1681 01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:52,800 Speaker 1: you conservative analyst or by your name is depends on 1682 01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:54,720 Speaker 1: who the writer is there. And it's always a little 1683 01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:57,519 Speaker 1: it's a little slight. You get very used to slights 1684 01:34:57,640 --> 01:35:00,719 Speaker 1: in this business. You know, people kind of people spitting 1685 01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:03,080 Speaker 1: in your petunias, if you know what I mean. Actually, 1686 01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:04,479 Speaker 1: I don't even know what I mean. I don't even 1687 01:35:04,479 --> 01:35:07,880 Speaker 1: know if that made sense. James, same first name that 1688 01:35:07,960 --> 01:35:11,240 Speaker 1: I have rights buck you sound you used a sound 1689 01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:13,760 Speaker 1: by at the start of yesterday's podcast about how the 1690 01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:16,519 Speaker 1: cost of the wall would be offset by savings in 1691 01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:20,519 Speaker 1: detention and processing. Can you point to the source someone 1692 01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:25,400 Speaker 1: is challenging me where I heard it? Thanks? That was 1693 01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:32,479 Speaker 1: that was Tom Hohman, who was the former former acting 1694 01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:35,240 Speaker 1: Director of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. I think he was 1695 01:35:35,280 --> 01:35:37,200 Speaker 1: saying that on Fox News, but that was Tom Hohman. 1696 01:35:38,120 --> 01:35:40,360 Speaker 1: I you know, so if you look up Tom Holman 1697 01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:43,000 Speaker 1: and that sound by or that quote, you should be 1698 01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:48,519 Speaker 1: able to pull it out pretty easily. Amy, rights, Oh buck, 1699 01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:51,880 Speaker 1: I am so angry about Mitt Romney. He swept into 1700 01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:55,160 Speaker 1: Utah with his billions and the establishments millions and edged 1701 01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:57,880 Speaker 1: out any conservative that might stand a chance. For the 1702 01:35:57,920 --> 01:36:00,840 Speaker 1: first time ever, in twenty sixteen, I voted straight Republican ticket, 1703 01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:03,640 Speaker 1: knowing that Mitt was my only option. I figured it 1704 01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:05,720 Speaker 1: was better to get him than hand the Senate to 1705 01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:09,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats. I will say, however, in Utah's favor, that 1706 01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:12,680 Speaker 1: the state punishes our rhinos. I helped me a love 1707 01:36:12,720 --> 01:36:15,240 Speaker 1: get elected to my district, and I joined my district 1708 01:36:15,320 --> 01:36:18,360 Speaker 1: in speaking out against her when she voted with Bayner 1709 01:36:18,439 --> 01:36:21,040 Speaker 1: instead of the district. Please notice that she lost in 1710 01:36:21,120 --> 01:36:24,439 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. People were and are still mad at her 1711 01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:26,639 Speaker 1: for doing a belly flop into the swamp waters of DC. 1712 01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:29,639 Speaker 1: You know, I love my belly flop analogies. I expect 1713 01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:32,479 Speaker 1: Mitt will not only will not serve another term as 1714 01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:35,599 Speaker 1: our senator. Heck, maybe we can even recall him. Amy. 1715 01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:39,920 Speaker 1: You know, Mit, for me was It's not just that 1716 01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:43,000 Speaker 1: I disagree with a lot of what he says in 1717 01:36:43,080 --> 01:36:46,479 Speaker 1: that editorial or particularly on the foreign policy side. I 1718 01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:49,280 Speaker 1: mean to act like the establishment is how the answers 1719 01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:53,320 Speaker 1: on foreign policy in recent years is to really allow 1720 01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:59,160 Speaker 1: yourself into a delusion. The establishment has made horrible errors 1721 01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:01,800 Speaker 1: strategic and I don't mean errors that nobody could have 1722 01:37:01,880 --> 01:37:05,000 Speaker 1: seen him coming. I mean errors that history tells us. 1723 01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:07,000 Speaker 1: You know, you can go back this guy, Mike Schoyer, 1724 01:37:07,200 --> 01:37:10,400 Speaker 1: who's kind of fallen off the fallen off the radar. 1725 01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:12,479 Speaker 1: I don't know what really happened to him, but you know, 1726 01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:16,240 Speaker 1: he was a very outside the box thinker and was 1727 01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:21,559 Speaker 1: formerly a CIA analyst who was running what became essentially 1728 01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:23,720 Speaker 1: the bin Laden Unit at the at the agency. And 1729 01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:27,200 Speaker 1: he wrote this book. He wrote this book that went 1730 01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:32,840 Speaker 1: into how you know, we should know everything we need 1731 01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:38,280 Speaker 1: to know about The book is called Imperial Hubris, Why 1732 01:37:38,439 --> 01:37:42,240 Speaker 1: the West is Losing the War on Terror. And yeah, 1733 01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:44,479 Speaker 1: Michael Schuyer, I mean I read that book before I 1734 01:37:44,600 --> 01:37:46,599 Speaker 1: was told to read that book before I went into 1735 01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:49,600 Speaker 1: the CIA by people in the CIA who are like, 1736 01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:52,280 Speaker 1: you need to read this book. And and Mike was right, 1737 01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:54,080 Speaker 1: He's like, we're gonna go in there, we're gonna think 1738 01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:57,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna be different, and it's not going to be different. 1739 01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:00,639 Speaker 1: So don't let the don't let the foreign policy elites, 1740 01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:03,000 Speaker 1: such as they are. And look when I say that, 1741 01:38:03,840 --> 01:38:05,920 Speaker 1: there's no easy way to have these conversations. You know, 1742 01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:09,200 Speaker 1: do I think you know, is somebody like my friend 1743 01:38:09,439 --> 01:38:12,280 Speaker 1: Jim Carafano over at the Heritage Foundation. Is he in 1744 01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:15,320 Speaker 1: an elite in a sense because he's got an not 1745 01:38:15,360 --> 01:38:18,639 Speaker 1: only military service, but decades of expertise in foreign policy. Yeah. 1746 01:38:19,040 --> 01:38:22,000 Speaker 1: But so you know, just because you're in the foreign 1747 01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:24,400 Speaker 1: policy establishment doesn't mean that you're not somebody who I 1748 01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:26,640 Speaker 1: think is really worthwhile and has a lot of good 1749 01:38:26,680 --> 01:38:31,560 Speaker 1: things to say on these issues. But in general, the 1750 01:38:31,840 --> 01:38:35,040 Speaker 1: foreign policy establishment I think has been very, very wrong. 1751 01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:38,839 Speaker 1: And Imperial Huberts is a good book. I mean, Shower 1752 01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:43,000 Speaker 1: he burned some butts at over at Langley with this one. 1753 01:38:43,040 --> 01:38:45,160 Speaker 1: They did not, And it wasn't just Langley, I mean 1754 01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:49,759 Speaker 1: it was really the the overall the administration and everybody 1755 01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:54,719 Speaker 1: who was working on Afghan policy was really ticked off 1756 01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:58,280 Speaker 1: about this. So but back to Romney. Sorry, that got 1757 01:38:58,320 --> 01:38:59,599 Speaker 1: me on a little bit of of a rant there. 1758 01:38:59,640 --> 01:39:03,839 Speaker 1: Back to Romney for a second. You know, he's allowing 1759 01:39:03,960 --> 01:39:08,759 Speaker 1: himself to be used by the other side. He's allowing 1760 01:39:09,400 --> 01:39:12,960 Speaker 1: what he says to be a weapon against whether he's 1761 01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:15,760 Speaker 1: willing to accept this or not, the very policies and 1762 01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:21,280 Speaker 1: ideas that he claims that he's all for. So what 1763 01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:24,000 Speaker 1: I mean by this is, you know, he went on 1764 01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:27,240 Speaker 1: you know, Jake Tapper's show, and those who listen to 1765 01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:28,960 Speaker 1: the show know that I'm not a fan of Tapper's 1766 01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:34,000 Speaker 1: work or Tapper, but you know, he went on Tapper's show, 1767 01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:37,320 Speaker 1: and they're just giving him this platform, putting him on 1768 01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:41,160 Speaker 1: these Sunday shows and elevating him in this moment to 1769 01:39:41,520 --> 01:39:45,439 Speaker 1: trash Trump and the right with him, because remember Trump 1770 01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:48,080 Speaker 1: is the de facto leader of the Republican Party right now. 1771 01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:52,680 Speaker 1: And so if you're somebody who really cares about just 1772 01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:58,120 Speaker 1: go down the list, secure boarders, rule of law, supporting life, 1773 01:39:58,840 --> 01:40:01,479 Speaker 1: you know, being being pro life support, and just go 1774 01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:03,880 Speaker 1: down to all the you know, limited government, although we 1775 01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:05,920 Speaker 1: didn't really talk about that anymore. You know, that'sn't even 1776 01:40:05,960 --> 01:40:09,559 Speaker 1: a it's a fair question what do conservatives even stand 1777 01:40:09,640 --> 01:40:11,640 Speaker 1: for right now that we can all agree on. I 1778 01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:14,840 Speaker 1: know what you would say, what I would say about conservatism, 1779 01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:18,000 Speaker 1: but at the national level, it feels a little bit 1780 01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:20,240 Speaker 1: like we're we're not concerned with the debt. We're not 1781 01:40:20,320 --> 01:40:21,960 Speaker 1: concerned with the deficit. We're not you know, there's a 1782 01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:24,520 Speaker 1: lot of stuff that we have. We haven't reformed entitlements, 1783 01:40:24,600 --> 01:40:26,920 Speaker 1: we haven't gotten rid of Obamacare. You know, we got 1784 01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:29,080 Speaker 1: a lot of work to do. Sorry, I'm kind of 1785 01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:30,800 Speaker 1: ending the going toward the end of the show here 1786 01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:35,880 Speaker 1: on a bummer note. But Romney supposedly cares about all 1787 01:40:35,920 --> 01:40:39,400 Speaker 1: those things, and he allows by going on Tapper's show 1788 01:40:39,640 --> 01:40:44,519 Speaker 1: and allowing himself to be manipulated in this way. Whether 1789 01:40:44,600 --> 01:40:47,559 Speaker 1: he knows it and doesn't care or just isn't savvy 1790 01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:50,160 Speaker 1: enough to know it, I can't tell you how can 1791 01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:53,080 Speaker 1: you claim to care about these things? You know? You 1792 01:40:53,280 --> 01:40:56,080 Speaker 1: do you want conservative justices on the Supreme Court or not? 1793 01:40:56,880 --> 01:41:01,519 Speaker 1: Do you want a deregulation going on at the federal 1794 01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:04,880 Speaker 1: agency level or not? You know, there's a lot of 1795 01:41:05,040 --> 01:41:08,360 Speaker 1: things that by taking Trump down, you're taking all that 1796 01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:12,360 Speaker 1: down too. This is very you know, and I want 1797 01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:13,800 Speaker 1: to be very clear because I'm hoping that all of 1798 01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:15,759 Speaker 1: you're listening to this show are going to be joining 1799 01:41:15,800 --> 01:41:18,240 Speaker 1: the millions of other people down the line who will 1800 01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:21,080 Speaker 1: be listening to this show. And I'm going to have 1801 01:41:21,160 --> 01:41:24,400 Speaker 1: to own some things later on that that I'm telling 1802 01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:26,120 Speaker 1: you now, And one of them is it's going to 1803 01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:32,960 Speaker 1: be very hard to attack a future Democrat administration or 1804 01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:37,320 Speaker 1: Republican administration. But to attack a future administration on you know, 1805 01:41:37,400 --> 01:41:40,000 Speaker 1: on issues of character, on issues of truthfulness, I mean, 1806 01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:43,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna that's gonna be tough. You know, we've accepted 1807 01:41:43,439 --> 01:41:44,920 Speaker 1: a lot of us have I think many of you 1808 01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:52,000 Speaker 1: listening a more transactional relationship with politics now than we 1809 01:41:52,200 --> 01:41:55,280 Speaker 1: previously had as conservatives, meaning that Trump gets stuff for 1810 01:41:55,520 --> 01:41:57,920 Speaker 1: us or is trying to get things done in a 1811 01:41:58,040 --> 01:42:01,400 Speaker 1: policy level, and that's what we care about first and foremost. 1812 01:42:01,439 --> 01:42:06,200 Speaker 1: Everything else is very secondary. There's there's merit to that argument, 1813 01:42:06,240 --> 01:42:09,839 Speaker 1: and that's a serious argument. And I think that Romney 1814 01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:12,200 Speaker 1: comes along with all this character stuff and talking about 1815 01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:15,519 Speaker 1: how Trump is a bad man essentially, and you have 1816 01:42:15,720 --> 01:42:18,840 Speaker 1: to look at Romney and say, are you really willing 1817 01:42:18,920 --> 01:42:22,840 Speaker 1: to just give up on all the rest of the 1818 01:42:23,120 --> 01:42:26,439 Speaker 1: things that you know, people like me support Trump to 1819 01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:29,680 Speaker 1: try and get Do you care about borders, you care 1820 01:42:29,720 --> 01:42:32,680 Speaker 1: about life? Do you care about rule of law? Do 1821 01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:35,040 Speaker 1: you care about capitalism? Do you know you look at 1822 01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:37,639 Speaker 1: a Democrat left is going to get scarier and scarier 1823 01:42:37,680 --> 01:42:39,439 Speaker 1: over the next two years. Trust me. You know, if 1824 01:42:39,479 --> 01:42:42,920 Speaker 1: you care about all those things and you're trashing Trump, 1825 01:42:43,840 --> 01:42:46,360 Speaker 1: you got to ask to what end? And I think 1826 01:42:46,439 --> 01:42:50,160 Speaker 1: Mitt Romney didn't ask that question nearly nearly enough. I'm sorry. 1827 01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:51,920 Speaker 1: I went on a bit of a bit of a 1828 01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:53,640 Speaker 1: tear there. You know what, let me I have an 1829 01:42:53,720 --> 01:42:56,000 Speaker 1: undouble role call in a while. So that's actually fine. 1830 01:42:56,080 --> 01:42:58,080 Speaker 1: Let me, I'm gonna hit a quick break, we'll come back. 1831 01:42:58,120 --> 01:43:00,519 Speaker 1: We'll do a little more role call because I can, 1832 01:43:00,560 --> 01:43:04,320 Speaker 1: because why not? And stay with me, all right? I 1833 01:43:04,360 --> 01:43:06,200 Speaker 1: said I was gonna do more role call because you know, 1834 01:43:06,320 --> 01:43:08,960 Speaker 1: I missed hearing from all of you. I'm also hoping 1835 01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:13,360 Speaker 1: to maybe you know, I get into these these uh 1836 01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:18,000 Speaker 1: cycles of thought. And that wasn't particularly artfully worded, but 1837 01:43:18,200 --> 01:43:20,720 Speaker 1: I get in the zone. And you know, we don't 1838 01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:23,000 Speaker 1: take as many phone calls as we used to, and 1839 01:43:23,160 --> 01:43:25,120 Speaker 1: that's been pointed out by some of the year like, look, Buck, 1840 01:43:25,320 --> 01:43:27,479 Speaker 1: I don't I don't want calls all the time. You know, 1841 01:43:27,680 --> 01:43:33,120 Speaker 1: it's it's generally the mark of a of somewhat lackadaisical 1842 01:43:33,240 --> 01:43:34,960 Speaker 1: radio host. You just be like, all right, let's just 1843 01:43:35,320 --> 01:43:37,439 Speaker 1: every day, open the lines and let like everybody else 1844 01:43:37,479 --> 01:43:38,920 Speaker 1: talk for an hour, because you know, there's only so 1845 01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:41,400 Speaker 1: much quality control you can do about the topics that way. 1846 01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:43,599 Speaker 1: That said, I want to do more calls, So I'm 1847 01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:46,880 Speaker 1: thinking about doing one night a week, and you can 1848 01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:48,840 Speaker 1: let me know on Facebook if you like this idea 1849 01:43:49,360 --> 01:43:52,479 Speaker 1: where I you know, the the second hour of the show, 1850 01:43:52,680 --> 01:43:54,960 Speaker 1: we're just gonna we're gonna rack in stack calls. I mean, 1851 01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:56,920 Speaker 1: I want, you know, I want to take a lot 1852 01:43:56,960 --> 01:43:59,400 Speaker 1: of calls from Malodi. So at least that way people 1853 01:43:59,439 --> 01:44:01,479 Speaker 1: always know, Hey, if there's something on Monday that I 1854 01:44:01,560 --> 01:44:04,200 Speaker 1: really want to talk to, not just Buck, but everybody 1855 01:44:04,200 --> 01:44:06,760 Speaker 1: about is listening across the country, I can call in 1856 01:44:07,400 --> 01:44:09,240 Speaker 1: and know that, you know, if I'm willing to be 1857 01:44:09,280 --> 01:44:11,360 Speaker 1: a little patient, because usually we open the lines up 1858 01:44:11,400 --> 01:44:13,160 Speaker 1: that you know, it's like a Christmas tree all the 1859 01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:15,160 Speaker 1: lights go off.

Rachel, let's go, 1878 01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:12,960 Speaker 1: She writes, Hey, Buck, I have two thoughts for you. 1879 01:45:13,240 --> 01:45:15,920 Speaker 1: Number one in regards to the rule in radio where 1880 01:45:15,920 --> 01:45:17,320 Speaker 1: you have someone fill in for you so that your 1881 01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:20,479 Speaker 1: audience misses you. I think that your excellent subs just 1882 01:45:20,600 --> 01:45:23,360 Speaker 1: make us appreciate you even more because you care so 1883 01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:26,200 Speaker 1: much about your audience to leave us in good hands. Well, 1884 01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:29,280 Speaker 1: thank you, Rachel. I really appreciate that. And that's honestly 1885 01:45:29,560 --> 01:45:31,920 Speaker 1: my goal, and that's what I'm trying to do that. 1886 01:45:32,600 --> 01:45:36,080 Speaker 1: That's my approach to my fillins. I want you, those 1887 01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:38,000 Speaker 1: of you who are used to listening to this show 1888 01:45:38,479 --> 01:45:41,080 Speaker 1: Monday through Friday, or if you listen to the podcast 1889 01:45:41,160 --> 01:45:45,120 Speaker 1: over the weekend, I want you to always feel like 1890 01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:48,759 Speaker 1: when you're giving me your time, it's worthwhile. So I'm 1891 01:45:48,840 --> 01:45:51,360 Speaker 1: I'm getting the best villains I possibly can every time. 1892 01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:55,400 Speaker 1: And your feedback on fillins especially really matters, because you know, 1893 01:45:55,680 --> 01:45:58,400 Speaker 1: I'm these are everybody who fills it on this show. 1894 01:45:58,479 --> 01:46:01,120 Speaker 1: I know and you know I I'm friends with them 1895 01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:03,760 Speaker 1: or I professionally at least have spent a lot of 1896 01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:06,519 Speaker 1: time with them, So it's something to consider. You know, 1897 01:46:06,600 --> 01:46:09,040 Speaker 1: one person that I'm thinking we should bring in to 1898 01:46:09,240 --> 01:46:11,920 Speaker 1: a fill in would be a Sager and Jetty from 1899 01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:14,880 Speaker 1: The Daily Caller. I just think he's such a good 1900 01:46:14,920 --> 01:46:17,840 Speaker 1: guy and really sharp reporter. I think he's actually got 1901 01:46:17,960 --> 01:46:21,080 Speaker 1: radio chops. So I'm hoping to do what I've done 1902 01:46:21,520 --> 01:46:24,400 Speaker 1: for some people over at Fox News, which is start 1903 01:46:24,520 --> 01:46:26,639 Speaker 1: them off in a direction their career that they hadn't 1904 01:46:26,640 --> 01:46:29,439 Speaker 1: even considered before. There are a number of people who 1905 01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:32,320 Speaker 1: are now Fox News correspondence and anchors who I will 1906 01:46:32,360 --> 01:46:35,840 Speaker 1: have you know and the original Saturday squad. You guys 1907 01:46:35,880 --> 01:46:38,320 Speaker 1: all know this, But there are people who they got 1908 01:46:38,400 --> 01:46:41,760 Speaker 1: started in this business because I called them or I 1909 01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:45,519 Speaker 1: emailed them and said, hey, some of you were probably familiar. 1910 01:46:45,600 --> 01:46:49,479 Speaker 1: Maybe you know. I was a big and early proponent 1911 01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:51,960 Speaker 1: of Ellison Barber when she was at the Washington Free Beacon. 1912 01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:55,680 Speaker 1: Now she's a rising star over at Fox News. I 1913 01:46:55,760 --> 01:46:58,479 Speaker 1: didn't find her, but I was somebody who was very 1914 01:46:58,560 --> 01:47:01,479 Speaker 1: much in favor of of putting her on TV at 1915 01:47:01,479 --> 01:47:05,800 Speaker 1: the Blaze. I did find Jillian Turner, who's just she's 1916 01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:08,479 Speaker 1: hosting shows over at Fox now. She's doing a great 1917 01:47:08,600 --> 01:47:12,000 Speaker 1: job of that. And you know, uh, there there are 1918 01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:13,920 Speaker 1: There are a few others that I don't want to 1919 01:47:13,920 --> 01:47:15,360 Speaker 1: go into too much. I don't want to take too 1920 01:47:15,439 --> 01:47:16,479 Speaker 1: much of a bow here, but there are a few 1921 01:47:16,520 --> 01:47:19,599 Speaker 1: others that I've helped get going on all this.

William, By the way, that's mine. If 1937 01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:07,320 Speaker 1: I could have a dream sponsor, I think the dream 1938 01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:10,519 Speaker 1: sponsor would be Sperry would be high on the list. 1939 01:48:10,560 --> 01:48:13,000 Speaker 1: And I have.
