WEBVTT - Democrat Agenda 2019: Prosecute Trump

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:15.760
<v Speaker 1>You are entering the freedom hunt. Well, it's finally happened.

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 1>The Democrat majority has taken the House. They are now

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 1>in charge and things are gonna get rough. But the

0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:26.239
<v Speaker 1>good news is President Trump so far is sticking to

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>his guns when it comes to the border wall, and

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>it looks like the shutdown is going to continue for

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 1>quite a while. Does he have the backbone? Just see

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:35.560
<v Speaker 1>it through that and more coming up on the buck

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show where the

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 1>mission or mission is to decode what really matters with

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a great American Again.

0:00:50.000 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>The buck Sexton Show begins. Remember no Power. Our mandate

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>for the people to lower healthcare costs and for scripting

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>drug prices and protect people with pre existing medical conditions.

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:13.680
<v Speaker 1>To increase paychecks by rebuilding America with green and modern

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>infrastructure from C to shining C. To pass HR one,

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 1>to restore integrity to government so that people can have

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>confidence that government in a government that works for the people,

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 1>not the special interest. We will make America fairer by

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:37.199
<v Speaker 1>passing the Equality Act to end discrimination against the LGBTQ community,

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and we will make America more American by passing by

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>protecting our patriotic, courageous dreamers. None of that's actually going

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>to happen. But that was Nancy Pelosi's opening Today she

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 1>is now a Speaker of the House. Welcome to the

0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sexton Show. Come on in the water's warm. We

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>are now living in a different political environment. The Democrats

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 1>finally have control of well one one part of Congress,

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>and that means that things are going to get Things

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:21.360
<v Speaker 1>are gonna get messy, messy Pelosi and her priorities, Oh my,

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the last one I thought, and that laundry list was

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 1>the most interesting. We're going to make America more American

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 1>by making non Americans in the country illegally Americans. The

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>dreamer's issue is one that the Democrats talk so much about,

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 1>and yet the more you dig into it, the more

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>you see that it's just the beginning of what is

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.639
<v Speaker 1>mass amnesty. It's mass I'm telling you it will be

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>mass amnesty, meaning everybody more or less unless you are

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.639
<v Speaker 1>a hardened criminal. And even then, you know the ACLU

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>and LaRaza and whatever whatever groups out there that ken

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>will intervene to try to prevent there from being any

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>more deportations. If they get. If they get Dreamers, it's

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>all over. In fact, it's it's just the reason they're

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.679
<v Speaker 1>so set on it, as they know that with that

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>domino falling, all the rest of them toward amnesty will

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>will follow. But Pelosi is Speaker of the House. Again,

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>it's I'm trying to get used to it. You know.

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I remember what it was like back in the day.

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I remember not too long ago, what it was, what

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>it meant for this government to have Nancy Pelosi in

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>that position. Donald Trump will not be president of the

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 1>United States. Take it to the bank. Remember that. Yep,

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 1>turns out Nancy was wrong on that one. So that's

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>good news. But you have this this new Congress that

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much people really care about it

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 1>outside the Beltway. There's a lot of pomp and circumstance today.

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Who the new Congress. We had all these speeches, you know, yeah, whatever,

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 1>How does it matter to you? Well, it matters because,

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>for one, we're now in a divided government scenario and

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>that means gridlock. And I will just say that may

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>be a good thing, you know, at least when a

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>government is divided in this way. And keep in mind

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:21.039
<v Speaker 1>the way that they've set it up. The government's divided

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 1>even when it's not. You know, unless you have sixty

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>votes in the Senate, you can't really get all that

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:30.040
<v Speaker 1>much done, as we've seen, unless you have the sixty votes.

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 1>And this is a restraint that's put on members of Congress.

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Buy members of Congress, you know, I mean Mitch McConnell

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:38.720
<v Speaker 1>on the and the Senate Republicans were essentially the guys

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>yelling hold me back in a bar fight. When there's

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>no one holding the back. They're holding themselves back. They

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.760
<v Speaker 1>could have gone, you know, they could have changed the

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Senate rules. They could do that. They could make it

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>a simple majority vote. There's nothing constitutional about the sixty

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 1>vote threshold for getting bills passed. That's just they've just

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 1>made that up. They've just decided that this is how

0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.280
<v Speaker 1>they want to do it. But now we are going

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>to see what it's like when the Democrats can set

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.840
<v Speaker 1>the agenda in the House, can use House resources and

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>really the bully pulpit of the floor of the House

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:16.039
<v Speaker 1>of Representatives to just be another voice of opposition against

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the administration. You know, when you count them up, there's

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:23.600
<v Speaker 1>plenty of bastions of hashtag resistance. There's a lot of them,

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>the judiciary. All you need, I mean, this is a

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>legal strategy, folks, that's been deployed against even It's a

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 1>form of lawfare against the Trump administration. You have Flora,

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>you know for forum shopping, plural Flora right forum shopping.

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 1>You just all you need to do is bring a

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.840
<v Speaker 1>case against the federal government in California, New York, Massachusetts.

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.479
<v Speaker 1>Some federal judge will put a nationwide injunction in place

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>and essentially overrule the executive branch and the Trump administration

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 1>on a matter of policy until they can get the

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court to weigh in. This is not hard, there's

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:03.360
<v Speaker 1>stein being them. Then you add into the media opposite

0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>the media opposition to Trump, which is just at levels

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.480
<v Speaker 1>that are insane. I mean they are in a frothy

0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 1>mouthed anti Trump rage all the time. And now you've

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.279
<v Speaker 1>got the House of Representatives also added into it, where

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 1>you got a majority that Nancy Pelosi's gonna lead and

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna do the look they've I think there was

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 1>already someone today who introduced articles of impeachment. They're going

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 1>to impeach. Just all talk to the contrary is they're

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 1>just trying to make it. You know, they don't want

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 1>to give away the ending of the movie, even though

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.160
<v Speaker 1>we all know how this movie is gonna end. All

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>you have to do is listen to them, hear them

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.040
<v Speaker 1>talk about this. Nancy Pelosi today was and we'll play

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the audio later. She's saying, maybe even the president can

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 1>be criminally indicted. Wait what I thought. I thought that

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>wasn't supposed to happen. This was actually yesterday, Representative Hank

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.160
<v Speaker 1>This is the mentality of these Democrats. I'm trying to

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.719
<v Speaker 1>prepare you and me at the same time, or prepare

0:06:56.839 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 1>us psychologically for the onslaught that's coming of smears, lies,

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>lawfair investiga, investigations. Just meant his harassment and presidential harassment

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 1>is going to be what our House of Representatives is

0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.240
<v Speaker 1>doing more than anything else for the next eighteen months.

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 1>That's what's going to be happening. Just listen. Here, here's

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Congressman Johnson, Democrat from Georgia, yesterday speaking about the president

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>the United States place. Seventeen Americans elected an authoritarian, anti immigrant,

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>racist strong man to the nation's highest office, Donald Trump

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 1>and his make America Great Again followers who want to

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 1>return America back to a time when white men and

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 1>white privilege were unchallenged and where minorities and women were

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 1>in their place. Much like Hitler took over the Nazi Party,

0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Trump has taken over the Republican Party. Oh yeah, there

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 1>we go. A Hitler reference. You knew it was common, folks,

0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 1>you knew it was coming. A Hitler reference to the

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 1>President of the United States. Guys, we're really we're really

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>going to get down to brass taxire for a moment.

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump is governing largely as a you know, accept on

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 1>the issue of immigration, the wall to be fair, which

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:28.200
<v Speaker 1>is a signature issue. But he's been been pretty centrist

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>on all these pretty centrist on foreign policy, on taxes,

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:36.679
<v Speaker 1>on they didn't repeal Obamacare, they truncated it a bit,

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.360
<v Speaker 1>they cut it down. But you know, he's been and

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of ways on policy actually a pretty moderate

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:48.679
<v Speaker 1>GOP or conservative force. You know, he has not been

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 1>some hard I mean, and then Hitler stuff is this

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.960
<v Speaker 1>is just things. This is something that people who aren't

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 1>very smart say he's like Hitler, or let's compare him

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 1>to Hitler. That's this is really an intelligence test, and

0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.440
<v Speaker 1>it's one that much of the main stream media has

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.480
<v Speaker 1>has failed. Um, but it's one of the thing that

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.560
<v Speaker 1>we need to keep in mind going forward because they've

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 1>they've been saying that this president is a racist, is

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 1>a traitor, is Hitler. Total side note. Today, I had

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.319
<v Speaker 1>a I had a uber driver named Stalin, which I

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 1>thought was pretty amazing. I've never that was his name.

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 1>It popped up, I said, it's really your name is

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 1>your first name is Stalin? Well, you know, maybe he's

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:30.280
<v Speaker 1>trying to, you know, take that name and do a little, uh,

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, change it up a little bit. It means

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 1>man of Steel, wasn't actually, you know, Stalin's Stalin's name

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 1>is not really his name. It's kind of like che

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Guvara is not Chay is not really his name anyway. Um,

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, they called Trump Hitler, so of course they're

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to. You're gonna you're gonna not impeach Hitler?

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.120
<v Speaker 1>What kind of what kind of president does that set? Right?

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're gonna say this stupid stuff, They're gonna

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.720
<v Speaker 1>act on this stupid stuff, and they're gonna say moronic things.

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.440
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna act like morons. That's where the Democrats are

0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna do. This is where it's heading. So we should

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 1>just be prepared for that. We should also be prepared

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 1>for a fair amount of rewriting history, which we know

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 1>is always a thing that Democrats are engaged. And here's

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Representative Hakim Jeffries talking about the Pelosi nomination process today.

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Just given all this praise to Nancy play sixteen, Nancy Pelosi,

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 1>captain the ship that defeated the effort to privatize Social Security,

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.319
<v Speaker 1>rescued our economy in the midst of the Great Recession,

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 1>save the American automobile industry, provided affordable healthcare, so more

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:43.360
<v Speaker 1>than twenty million Americans. Nancy Pelosi will fight to lower

0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>healthcare costs, strengthen the Affordable Care Act, protect people with

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:51.600
<v Speaker 1>pre existing conditions, increase pay for everyday Americans, and act

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the Real Infrastructure Plan, clean up corruption, defend the Dreamers,

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 1>fix the Voting Rights Act, and in the era of

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 1>voter suppression, once and for all. It's it's it's like

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:10.960
<v Speaker 1>a Maelstrom. It's a it's a tornado of wrong platitude,

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 1>and what the heck were just subjected to their Uh

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, look, I know that politics in general, people

0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 1>boil things down to very basic phrases, and they want

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 1>to they want to simplify things and all that. But

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, the idea that Nancy Pelosi is going to

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 1>do all those things, or even wants to do all

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 1>those things, just it's just nuts. The notion that Pelosi

0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 1>saved the economy. How how I mean they're talking about

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 1>rewriting history. Democrats have gotten such a pass. And I look,

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I blame not just the news media, but pop culture too.

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.480
<v Speaker 1>You go back and look at the movie The Big Short.

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.959
<v Speaker 1>Not a mention of Fannie may or Freddie Mack in

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the movie The Big Short, not a mention of the

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Community Reinvestment Act and the Clinton administration policy of suing

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:07.080
<v Speaker 1>banks financially destroying people who wouldn't make loans to essentially

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 1>based on FICO scores underqualified applicants, a lot of whom

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:16.480
<v Speaker 1>are minorities. So you know, the whole fin the whole

0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Great Recession that we had to deal with, and the

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.319
<v Speaker 1>housing crisis. Yes, Wall Street played a role in. Wall

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Street is full of people who are rapaciously greedy, not

0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:25.679
<v Speaker 1>all of them, but a lot of them. Is a

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of greed on Wall Street, no question. But there

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.040
<v Speaker 1>was also a tremendous amount of government policy policy that

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.880
<v Speaker 1>people like Pelosi. In fact, Pelosi was at the forefront

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 1>of pushing for this stuff. But now we're going to

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.719
<v Speaker 1>say that she saved the account of anyway. You know,

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Pelosi is a classic classic limousine liberal. Claims to be

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.160
<v Speaker 1>a Catholic, but wants abortion all nine months of a

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 1>pregnancy for any reason, every reason, and wants you to

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:52.920
<v Speaker 1>pay for it, by the way, but still goes and

0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.719
<v Speaker 1>takes communion, you know, still thinks of herself as a

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.959
<v Speaker 1>good Catholic. How I don't know. I guess, you know,

0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 1>nothing really matters anymore. Nothing is what it is, all

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:08.679
<v Speaker 1>just subject to a whims and interpretation. But my friends,

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 1>batten down the hatches because this is going to be

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 1>a rough ride for the Trump administration starting today. I'm

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:17.640
<v Speaker 1>not saying that they're gonna win. I'm not saying that

0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:21.000
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna lose. I'm just this is what there is

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:26.280
<v Speaker 1>so much insane rage. I mean, they really, you know,

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 1>the elites, the the left wing power structure in this country,

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 1>they hate Trump, but they also really hate Trump voters

0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:40.959
<v Speaker 1>don't forget that. They also really despond for supporting this

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 1>president up to this point. And they want payback. That's

0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:50.480
<v Speaker 1>going to motivate a lot of what they do. That's

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:54.439
<v Speaker 1>going to be a factor here behind the scenes. I

0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 1>want to get into this shutdown where it stands. Obviously

0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.200
<v Speaker 1>we're still going to shutdown, but you know the wall.

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.559
<v Speaker 1>I spoke to a senior Border patrol officer today. I'm

0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.079
<v Speaker 1>hoping to get down to the border in the next

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:09.200
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks, but I want to really dive into

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.200
<v Speaker 1>this issue of immigration because this is in a lot

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.600
<v Speaker 1>of ways make or break for the drump presidency. Can

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.319
<v Speaker 1>he can he get this wall? Can he fix this problem?

0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:23.600
<v Speaker 1>That's the snakes are enormous right now. We'll come back

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.120
<v Speaker 1>to that because the President gave a press conference today

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:27.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of surprise people, so we'll talk about that a bit.

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Stay with me. I just appreciate them being here. I said,

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 1>let's go out and see the press. You can tell

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 1>them about the importance of the wall. They basically said,

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 1>and I think I can take the word basically out.

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Without a wall, you cannot have border security without a

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.960
<v Speaker 1>very strong form of barrier. Call it what you will,

0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 1>but without a wall, you cannot have border security. It

0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 1>won't work. You see what's just been put out on

0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:56.280
<v Speaker 1>social media where thousands of people are rushing the border

0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.640
<v Speaker 1>having a drone fly overhead, and I think nobody knows

0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 1>much or about technology, this type of technology, certainly than

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I do. Having drones and various other form of censors.

0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 1>They're all fine, but they're not going to stop the

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 1>problems that this country has. We've never had more people

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 1>wanting to come to the United States, and that has

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 1>to do with the economy and has to do with

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of other things. We're doing great as a country,

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.560
<v Speaker 1>but the better we do, the more people want to

0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:29.840
<v Speaker 1>come in. You can go out a barrier, you can

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.000
<v Speaker 1>go out whatever you want, but essentially we need protection

0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 1>in our country. We're going to make it good. The

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 1>people of our country want it. I have never had

0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 1>so much support as I have in the last week

0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:50.680
<v Speaker 1>over my stands for border security, for border control, and

0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:54.160
<v Speaker 1>for frankly the wall or the barrier. I have never

0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 1>had anything like it in terms of calls coming in,

0:15:56.760 --> 0:16:00.640
<v Speaker 1>in terms of people writing in and tweet and doing

0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 1>whatever they have to do. I've never had this much support,

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 1>and we've done some things that, as you know, have

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:10.480
<v Speaker 1>been very popular. I hope the Trump sticks with it.

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like you will. This is a pivotal moment. This

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 1>is a tipping point for the country. This is forcing

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats hand, This is forcing everyone to face the

0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:23.800
<v Speaker 1>reality of what's happening at our southern border, which is

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:25.760
<v Speaker 1>that we do not have control of it. We have

0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 1>an ongoing illegal alien infiltration of the country that's been

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 1>happening for decades. The tune of they say twelve million,

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 1>now I think it's twenty to thirty. It's at least

0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:40.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty and people want it to stop. They wanted to

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.400
<v Speaker 1>stop and a wall. This idea that a wall won't

0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:47.400
<v Speaker 1>work of it. I had Border Patrol Chief Operations tell

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 1>me today, of course the wall works. We very in

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 1>favor of the wall. Border Agent Brandon Judd spoke at

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:55.680
<v Speaker 1>that press conference where we just played you some some

0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.800
<v Speaker 1>of the audio of President Trump. This is what he

0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 1>said about it, play twenty three. I've been a Borba

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 1>troll agent for twenty one years. I can personally tell

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.159
<v Speaker 1>you from the work that I have done on the

0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Southwest border that physical barriers, that walls actually work. You

0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.320
<v Speaker 1>hear a lot of talk from the expert that you

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.440
<v Speaker 1>hear a lot of talk that there are experts that

0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.120
<v Speaker 1>say that walls don't work. I promise you that if

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.960
<v Speaker 1>you interview border patrol agents, they will tell you that

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.440
<v Speaker 1>walls work. I worked in Naco, Arizona for ten years.

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:28.520
<v Speaker 1>We didn't have physical barriers in Naco, and illegal immigration

0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:32.639
<v Speaker 1>and drug smuggling was absolutely out of control. We built

0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:37.520
<v Speaker 1>those walls, those physical barriers, and illegal immigration dropped exponentially.

0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Anywhere that you look where we have built walls, they

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:46.879
<v Speaker 1>have worked. They have been an absolute necessity for border

0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:52.360
<v Speaker 1>patrol agents in securing the border. We need those physical barriers,

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 1>and we appreciate President Trump and all of his efforts

0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:00.480
<v Speaker 1>in getting us those physical barriers. So this career border

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.240
<v Speaker 1>patrol agent Judd there, does he not know something that

0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Nancy and Chuck know? Cold Can we get Nancy and

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Chuck to show up at that press conference and explain

0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:11.480
<v Speaker 1>how walls don't work? I'd really like to. I'd like

0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.159
<v Speaker 1>to know, you know, what is their argument to this.

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Are all the border patrol agents senior, all the way

0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.720
<v Speaker 1>down to the rank and file, are they just that

0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:23.280
<v Speaker 1>what they've all been bought off with maga hats? I mean,

0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:27.000
<v Speaker 1>somebody needs to explain to me what the answer is

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.480
<v Speaker 1>from the Democrats, because everybody who knows a darned thing

0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:32.080
<v Speaker 1>about the border says the same thing when it comes

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:35.240
<v Speaker 1>to the wall, and that is the wall would work,

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Walls do work, and we need a wall. The Democrats

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:46.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't know, didn't believe, and didn't care about anything Secretary

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.719
<v Speaker 1>Nilsen had to say. Had they listened, had they been

0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.600
<v Speaker 1>able to understand, had they believe the information, they would

0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:59.760
<v Speaker 1>now know that CBP has arrested seventeen thousand convicted criminals

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.040
<v Speaker 1>in one year coming into this country. Ice has detained

0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:08.840
<v Speaker 1>almost four thousand known or suspected terrorists. Thousands of gang

0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:11.600
<v Speaker 1>members have been arrested at our border as well. Nancy

0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Pelosi refused to listen to those numbers, and when they

0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.760
<v Speaker 1>were actually said and spread around the room, she refused

0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:19.959
<v Speaker 1>to believe them as well. I've never seen a thing

0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:25.960
<v Speaker 1>like it in my life. Democrats are denialists when it

0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:30.480
<v Speaker 1>comes to the border, denialists when it comes to the

0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:34.760
<v Speaker 1>crime that surges into this country, the deaths, the misery,

0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the despair that results from the lawlessness not just that

0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 1>our border, but also of our immigration policies and the

0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 1>lack of enforcement in the interior of this country, sanctuary

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:49.960
<v Speaker 1>city policies, unwillingness to work with federal law enforcement to

0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:54.000
<v Speaker 1>get gang members who are in sanctuary jurisdictions not just

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 1>arrested it out of the country out If they are illegals,

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:04.359
<v Speaker 1>they should not be here period. The numbers are staggering.

0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:07.680
<v Speaker 1>You know. I had the Chief of Operations for Border

0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Patrol on today. I talked to him for quite a

0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:13.280
<v Speaker 1>bit offset on set, you know, on air and Chief Hastings,

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:18.200
<v Speaker 1>and we had a really interesting discussion about first of all,

0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:22.920
<v Speaker 1>that the wall in Sandy and the barrier wall. You know,

0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:27.119
<v Speaker 1>I hate the semantics. The barrier in place in the

0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Sandy sied Row border sector at San Diego Central would

0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 1>separates San Diego from Tijuana. And now it's now that

0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I know how to say it, it's kind of fun

0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 1>to say, and I'll kind of want struck my stuff,

0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:46.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, Tijuana, Hello, Como Sta Tijuana. But that barrier

0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:52.359
<v Speaker 1>is effective, and it's so effective in fact, that you

0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:57.440
<v Speaker 1>have people from the caravan trying to destroy it so

0:20:57.640 --> 0:20:59.439
<v Speaker 1>that they can get through. If it was just as

0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:01.560
<v Speaker 1>easy as walk down the road a little bit and

0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:03.680
<v Speaker 1>you'll get into the US where there's no barrier, guess what,

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:06.840
<v Speaker 1>they'd probably do that, right, They're trying to go through

0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:09.399
<v Speaker 1>the barrier, trying to overrun. That's why you had that

0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:15.040
<v Speaker 1>incident with one hundred and fifty migrants who are trying

0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 1>to overrun a one sector of the well, one part

0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:23.639
<v Speaker 1>of the fence and then through rocks and had f

0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:26.840
<v Speaker 1>tear gas deployed. But one part of this that I

0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:29.520
<v Speaker 1>don't think that that doesn't get talked bet enough. The

0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Border patrol chief that keeps saying chief, the chief operations.

0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 1>He told me that they're looking into this and they

0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:39.960
<v Speaker 1>they have early indications that there are English payers on

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the other side of the board. I remember, this is

0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:43.840
<v Speaker 1>a career law enforcement guy, all right. He's not he's

0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:45.760
<v Speaker 1>not trying to win some political office. He's just telling

0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:49.040
<v Speaker 1>me what he knows. He says, there are are reports.

0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Now this is intel. This is not you know, this

0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:55.680
<v Speaker 1>is not you know, a court record or matter public record.

0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:59.119
<v Speaker 1>Yet there's intel. There are English speakers, you know, native

0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:01.520
<v Speaker 1>English speakers on the other side of the border who

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 1>are encouraging and helping to coordinate incidents like the one

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:10.679
<v Speaker 1>we saw on New Year's where you had an effort

0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:14.960
<v Speaker 1>to mass in one place and overrun border patrol and

0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:20.119
<v Speaker 1>to use specific tactics like putting women and children so

0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:22.880
<v Speaker 1>that they throw rocks at border patrol, and then when

0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:26.680
<v Speaker 1>the tear gas is deployed, they move women and children

0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:30.680
<v Speaker 1>forward so that, yes, you can get these photos because

0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:33.440
<v Speaker 1>obviously got journos down there, you get these photos of

0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:35.399
<v Speaker 1>the women and children getting tear gas and all the

0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:39.920
<v Speaker 1>stuff happening. But there's also the possibility, you know that

0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:42.879
<v Speaker 1>depending on how they're deploying that tier gas, you know,

0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:45.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe somebody gets hit by a tear gas projectile. Maybe

0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 1>you get a you know, a ten year old kid,

0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:49.199
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I know there are different ways they

0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:50.640
<v Speaker 1>can do this. You know, they can fire it out

0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:52.720
<v Speaker 1>of a canister, and there's there's a lot of ways.

0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, maybe they're just throwing the smoke bombs, but

0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:58.000
<v Speaker 1>that you know, if you get somebody that's injured in

0:22:58.119 --> 0:22:59.959
<v Speaker 1>that exchange, especially if you women or a child, that's

0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:05.760
<v Speaker 1>all you're gonna hear about. That's all you're gonna hear about. Meanwhile,

0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:07.719
<v Speaker 1>the stuff that I'm telling you about, like there are

0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:10.840
<v Speaker 1>from senior level of Border Patrol. They're saying there are

0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:13.680
<v Speaker 1>people that are coordinating us on the other side, causing

0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:19.840
<v Speaker 1>a causing the optics that will then be used as

0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:24.480
<v Speaker 1>open borders propaganda. Look at how evil we are, look

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:26.640
<v Speaker 1>at how bad our border patrol is being naughty, naughty,

0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:30.520
<v Speaker 1>bad border patrol. They're trying to create those incidents, and

0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:33.440
<v Speaker 1>then it's gonna be projected not just all around our media,

0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:37.200
<v Speaker 1>but all around the world. So there is a hidden

0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:39.560
<v Speaker 1>hand behind some of this. And I'm not I'm not

0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:41.960
<v Speaker 1>just guessing or making it up. I'm being told this

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:44.960
<v Speaker 1>by people who are down there on the front lines

0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:48.879
<v Speaker 1>and who know. So that's one part. Of the other

0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:54.679
<v Speaker 1>part is when you look at the storylines about how

0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:58.960
<v Speaker 1>we've had two children have died, like any kid, any

0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:02.639
<v Speaker 1>small child, then anyone who loses their life to an

0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:07.159
<v Speaker 1>illness is a sad, sad story, regardless of you know

0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:09.800
<v Speaker 1>what country they're from or the circussor you know it's

0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:13.520
<v Speaker 1>it's a sad thing. So we start from that problem,

0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:17.360
<v Speaker 1>and we're good people, so we automatically have an emotional

0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:20.520
<v Speaker 1>response to a child who's who's brought to the border,

0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:24.160
<v Speaker 1>who dies from from a disease of any kind, right,

0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:27.240
<v Speaker 1>and we do want to help anybody who shows up

0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:30.159
<v Speaker 1>at our border who's showing signs of an acute illness

0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:33.359
<v Speaker 1>should be treated. That's who we are, That's that's the

0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:36.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of people we are in America. But you know,

0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:39.639
<v Speaker 1>there's another side to this story, and that is the

0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:44.679
<v Speaker 1>as the chief told me today, over four thousand life

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:49.600
<v Speaker 1>saving measures taken by border patrol over the last year,

0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:55.240
<v Speaker 1>four thousand incidents of border patrol saving people who were drowning,

0:24:55.640 --> 0:25:01.560
<v Speaker 1>saving people who were dying from thirst, you know, or

0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:05.199
<v Speaker 1>or or from hypothermia being you know, the grabbed out

0:25:05.200 --> 0:25:07.040
<v Speaker 1>in the desert. People forget the desert in the wintertime

0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:10.600
<v Speaker 1>or even just at night gets really cold, right, intervening

0:25:10.680 --> 0:25:15.000
<v Speaker 1>in life saving fashion and in some cases with real

0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:17.359
<v Speaker 1>risk to themselves. You know, border patrol guys got to

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:19.320
<v Speaker 1>go out and jump out in the river and try

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:21.760
<v Speaker 1>to save somebody who's drowning. Anybody who's ever tried to

0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:24.040
<v Speaker 1>save somebody from drowning will tell you it's it's danger

0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:25.880
<v Speaker 1>for number of reasons. One is the person you're trying

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:28.399
<v Speaker 1>to save might pull you under because they're panicking, and

0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:30.960
<v Speaker 1>you know that's just the response that they're going to happen.

0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:33.679
<v Speaker 1>So you know, you're not here about the four thousand

0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:39.159
<v Speaker 1>lives that Border Patrol has saved or a life saving

0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:41.439
<v Speaker 1>incidents involved with them. You do hear so much more

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:43.680
<v Speaker 1>about these two children. Now we've got a policy where

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:45.480
<v Speaker 1>everyone's going to be checked when they come to the border.

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:49.119
<v Speaker 1>Guess what's going to happen. Guess what's gonna happen. Now,

0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:53.080
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be abused. Now we're going to

0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:55.840
<v Speaker 1>see people that are showing up of the border with

0:25:56.720 --> 0:26:01.359
<v Speaker 1>chronic health conditions and they're going Now that that's you know,

0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:04.119
<v Speaker 1>that's a different thing than you show up and say, okay,

0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:06.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you're a kid and you're running a

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:07.840
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and three fever and we're worried about you,

0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:09.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, we take care of children. I mean, if

0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:12.359
<v Speaker 1>you're you know, these are you know, the men and

0:26:12.400 --> 0:26:14.840
<v Speaker 1>women of Border Patrol, their moms, their dads, their brothers

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:17.200
<v Speaker 1>and sisters, they got kids of their own. They're not

0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:19.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're not heartless people. In fact, quite the

0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:22.280
<v Speaker 1>country their law enforcement doing a really important job, and

0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:24.879
<v Speaker 1>they get a lot of grief from the media, not

0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:27.119
<v Speaker 1>a not a lot of praise. You think of how

0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:30.440
<v Speaker 1>much how in love with the like senior reaches of

0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the FBI the media is because of Muller and you know,

0:26:33.680 --> 0:26:37.240
<v Speaker 1>destroying Trump versus the way they treat border patrol, and

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:40.119
<v Speaker 1>you just see that it's it's all. It's opportunistic from them.

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:43.080
<v Speaker 1>It's opportunistic. I got more. I mean, as the border

0:26:43.240 --> 0:26:45.920
<v Speaker 1>is an issue is you know, I'm very very fired

0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:47.480
<v Speaker 1>up on this. So We're going to talk more about

0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:50.840
<v Speaker 1>this in a moment. Stay with me. Democrats refuse to

0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:54.080
<v Speaker 1>acknowledge the facts. What the President did today was monumental.

0:26:54.240 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 1>He brought them to the White House, to the Situation

0:26:57.040 --> 0:27:00.080
<v Speaker 1>Room to have a conversation with Secretary Nielsen so she

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:03.600
<v Speaker 1>could brief them on all the crisis that's going on

0:27:03.720 --> 0:27:06.680
<v Speaker 1>in the border. These numbers are devastating, they are sad,

0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 1>they are needless, and they are senseless, and Democrats wanted

0:27:10.160 --> 0:27:12.439
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with it. In fact, the President opened

0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:15.919
<v Speaker 1>the meeting, he then turned to Secretary Nielsen, introduced her,

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:18.720
<v Speaker 1>and said, now she's going to begin her briefing. Within

0:27:18.880 --> 0:27:23.680
<v Speaker 1>five seconds, Chuck Schumer prompted Nancy Pelosi to cut Secretary

0:27:23.760 --> 0:27:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Nielsen off, which she dutifully did within seconds, and then

0:27:27.440 --> 0:27:32.359
<v Speaker 1>the entire presentation was basically over. I bet that the

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Secretary probably said fifty words in the entire presentation. I

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:42.800
<v Speaker 1>think that's really emblematic here of where the Democrats are

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:44.920
<v Speaker 1>on the boarder and on immigration in general. They just

0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:46.840
<v Speaker 1>don't want to hear it. They just want to tell

0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:51.119
<v Speaker 1>stories about about illegal alien valedictorians, and they want to

0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:54.680
<v Speaker 1>tell stories about family separation, and that's it. That there's

0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:57.080
<v Speaker 1>nothing else. They don't want to talk about. What it

0:27:57.160 --> 0:27:59.560
<v Speaker 1>does to depress wages to have so many illegals dump

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:02.480
<v Speaker 1>to the country, what it's doing in communities across the country,

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:04.320
<v Speaker 1>to have so many legals in the schools and the

0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:07.160
<v Speaker 1>English as a second language. None of that, they don't

0:28:07.160 --> 0:28:09.320
<v Speaker 1>want to hear any of that. They don't want to

0:28:09.359 --> 0:28:14.760
<v Speaker 1>hear about the opioid crisis and how the cartels are

0:28:14.800 --> 0:28:18.640
<v Speaker 1>playing such a huge, huge role in this. And I'm

0:28:18.680 --> 0:28:21.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna chase this story down. I mean, I'm gonna start

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:23.159
<v Speaker 1>writing more on this and trying to I'm glad I

0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:24.840
<v Speaker 1>get to talk to all you, all of you about it,

0:28:24.880 --> 0:28:27.320
<v Speaker 1>and thank you for listening on these issues because it's

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:32.680
<v Speaker 1>so important. There is a media bias toward talking about

0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:38.120
<v Speaker 1>the opioid epidemic as though it is primarily a function

0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:44.800
<v Speaker 1>of over prescription by doctors, and again I have sources

0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:47.800
<v Speaker 1>here and I've spoken to people in the DJ about

0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:54.600
<v Speaker 1>this issue specifically, and the truth is that the stats

0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:57.800
<v Speaker 1>that show over seventy thousand people dying from phansnopias are

0:28:58.520 --> 0:29:05.920
<v Speaker 1>overwhelmingly point toward illegal, illegal drugs that are being sold

0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:08.720
<v Speaker 1>by the cartels or by subsidiaries that the cartels in

0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:13.400
<v Speaker 1>this country on the streets. That's what's driving the opioid epidemic. Now,

0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:16.760
<v Speaker 1>doctors aren't idiots. They know that they've got to watch

0:29:16.840 --> 0:29:19.080
<v Speaker 1>who they're prescribing and what they're prescribing now, and they

0:29:19.200 --> 0:29:25.440
<v Speaker 1>know that da has caused a thirty percent drop in

0:29:25.640 --> 0:29:29.480
<v Speaker 1>overall opioid prescriptions in this country, and I think the

0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:32.440
<v Speaker 1>last two years. I have to check for the spam,

0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:35.760
<v Speaker 1>but it's it's down thirty percent from its height. So

0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:41.959
<v Speaker 1>d EA is they're going after doctors, and obviously that's

0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:44.920
<v Speaker 1>how to real effect. But what the cartels are doing

0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:48.120
<v Speaker 1>is filling in now. They know there's this huge market

0:29:48.120 --> 0:29:51.080
<v Speaker 1>for opioids, so they're making them in Mexico, they are

0:29:51.200 --> 0:29:57.320
<v Speaker 1>making counterfeit fentanyl and in fact, they've had cases in

0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:01.320
<v Speaker 1>certain states. It's it's certainly happening in Cali Fornia, where

0:30:02.320 --> 0:30:07.680
<v Speaker 1>they will make fentanyl. The cartels will illegally make fentanyl

0:30:08.240 --> 0:30:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and make it look like oxycontent, so people think they're

0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:17.280
<v Speaker 1>taking black market oxy, but it's actually fentanyl. Fentanyl is

0:30:17.280 --> 0:30:19.280
<v Speaker 1>easier to make, it's only like a four step process,

0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and fentanyl is much more potent than OxyContin is. So

0:30:24.280 --> 0:30:28.800
<v Speaker 1>that just and so they're trying to fill in where

0:30:29.160 --> 0:30:32.720
<v Speaker 1>where there's now this this market for elicit drugs, they're

0:30:32.760 --> 0:30:34.720
<v Speaker 1>trying to fill in by making it look like it's

0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:39.520
<v Speaker 1>big pharma drugs. But really this is the cartels posing

0:30:39.720 --> 0:30:46.520
<v Speaker 1>as big pharma to make make profits those and so

0:30:46.800 --> 0:30:48.880
<v Speaker 1>you know that's now you gotta understand that people are

0:30:48.960 --> 0:30:52.160
<v Speaker 1>being found, they're finding oxycontent pills on them and at

0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:56.080
<v Speaker 1>overdose sites. One it's not really oxy. So this doesn't

0:30:56.160 --> 0:30:58.840
<v Speaker 1>come from any of the big pharma companies. Now, this

0:30:58.960 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 1>isn't Fiser, This isn't you know, any of the big

0:31:01.920 --> 0:31:04.600
<v Speaker 1>drug makers out there necessarily. I mean that there's some

0:31:04.680 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 1>of that too, obviously there's black market sales or prescription drugs.

0:31:07.720 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 1>But just to show you where this is trending. Now

0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you have the cartels pretending that they're big pharma pills

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:18.720
<v Speaker 1>and making them appear to be you know, using the molds,

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:21.640
<v Speaker 1>the same molds so that they can sell this to

0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:25.600
<v Speaker 1>people illegally. So you know, that's you know, that's I

0:31:25.680 --> 0:31:27.760
<v Speaker 1>think a really important story for people to know because

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:32.040
<v Speaker 1>border security isn't just national security, because it's of possible

0:31:32.120 --> 0:31:34.640
<v Speaker 1>terrorists infiltrations and all that people tend to a lot

0:31:34.640 --> 0:31:37.600
<v Speaker 1>of people will just tune that out. It is an

0:31:37.680 --> 0:31:41.880
<v Speaker 1>issue of life and death because of the drug trade

0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:44.440
<v Speaker 1>in this country and what it is doing in this country,

0:31:44.560 --> 0:31:47.080
<v Speaker 1>and most of that stuff is coming across the border.

0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Most overdosees are from illegally obtained drugs, which can include

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:58.600
<v Speaker 1>prescription drugs, but it's illegally obtained drugs. And the Democrats

0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:00.080
<v Speaker 1>don't even they don't really want to talk about then

0:32:00.400 --> 0:32:04.400
<v Speaker 1>they got nothing on this. They no willingness to hear

0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:07.040
<v Speaker 1>out what's really going on. And that also brings me

0:32:07.120 --> 0:32:09.640
<v Speaker 1>to speaking of California in the cartels, you know, sanctuary laws.

0:32:09.720 --> 0:32:13.280
<v Speaker 1>My friend Lawrence Jones has been doing some men on

0:32:13.320 --> 0:32:15.320
<v Speaker 1>the streets. The Lawrence Jones used working at the Blaze.

0:32:15.360 --> 0:32:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Now he's a Fox, a Fox contributor. Lawrence a great guy,

0:32:19.480 --> 0:32:22.160
<v Speaker 1>and he's been asking residence California what they think of

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the state sanctuary laws. This was interesting play clip for

0:32:24.760 --> 0:32:28.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people are blaming the California sanctuary state policy.

0:32:29.240 --> 0:32:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you agree with that? I think it's the worst

0:32:31.280 --> 0:32:33.680
<v Speaker 1>thing California has done. A little gun. I'm not the

0:32:34.000 --> 0:32:38.600
<v Speaker 1>big wall person, but I think a sanctuary state is crazy.

0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Sanctuary city policy, it's the stupidest thing that Democrats could

0:32:43.640 --> 0:32:47.760
<v Speaker 1>have ever done in this country. Well, it's stupid from

0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:50.640
<v Speaker 1>the perspective. I agree with that last fellow on the

0:32:50.720 --> 0:32:54.200
<v Speaker 1>street there. It's it's stupid from the perspective of law

0:32:54.280 --> 0:32:57.200
<v Speaker 1>and order and public safety and rule of law. But

0:32:57.480 --> 0:33:00.560
<v Speaker 1>if all you're really trying to do is ensure a

0:33:00.640 --> 0:33:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Democrats supermajority to actually kind of evil, brilliant if you

0:33:05.400 --> 0:33:07.200
<v Speaker 1>want to want another truth, it makes a lot of

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:10.520
<v Speaker 1>They get to pose as the humanitarians, the nice people,

0:33:10.520 --> 0:33:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the saviors, the democrat the left, all these progressive open

0:33:14.520 --> 0:33:16.800
<v Speaker 1>borders activists. They get to be the ones too, you know,

0:33:16.880 --> 0:33:20.240
<v Speaker 1>who care, who are kind, who who want to help people.

0:33:20.920 --> 0:33:24.720
<v Speaker 1>And the media is completely complicit in this. Media doesn't

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:27.080
<v Speaker 1>want to doesn't want anyone to hear the stories about,

0:33:27.640 --> 0:33:31.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, the deaths that result from an unwillingness to

0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:34.840
<v Speaker 1>work with federal law enforcement at the local level and

0:33:34.920 --> 0:33:37.960
<v Speaker 1>to deport people who are dangerous. They don't want to

0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:40.320
<v Speaker 1>talk about Kate Steinley. They don't want to talk about

0:33:41.440 --> 0:33:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Officers sing and California's Sheriff Adam Christensen, he wants to

0:33:47.600 --> 0:33:51.320
<v Speaker 1>talk about it because he's still obviously furious about what

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:55.280
<v Speaker 1>happened to Officer Ronald Singh, and we talked about him

0:33:55.320 --> 0:33:57.320
<v Speaker 1>on the show yesterday. This officer was killed in line

0:33:57.360 --> 0:34:00.000
<v Speaker 1>of duty in a traffic stop. Here's what this California

0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:05.080
<v Speaker 1>your Sheriff says about sanctuary city policies. Play three. I

0:34:05.200 --> 0:34:07.360
<v Speaker 1>simply want to focus on the fact that this is

0:34:07.360 --> 0:34:12.480
<v Speaker 1>a criminal, illegal alien with prior criminal activity that should

0:34:12.560 --> 0:34:16.600
<v Speaker 1>have been reported to ice. We were prohibited. Law enforcement

0:34:16.760 --> 0:34:22.759
<v Speaker 1>was prohibited because of sanctuary laws, and that led to

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:28.800
<v Speaker 1>the encounter with officers Singh. I'm suggesting that the outcome

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:34.799
<v Speaker 1>could have been different if law enforcement wasn't restricted, prohibited,

0:34:35.920 --> 0:34:41.120
<v Speaker 1>or had their hands tied because of political interference. That's right.

0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:44.359
<v Speaker 1>Officers Sings left behind a wife and a five year

0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:48.160
<v Speaker 1>old son. A five year old son doesn't have a

0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:53.120
<v Speaker 1>dad anymore. Officers sing was the model of what we

0:34:53.200 --> 0:34:55.880
<v Speaker 1>want immigrants to be in this country, come in legally,

0:34:56.600 --> 0:34:59.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, be a stable family, member of a family,

0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:05.680
<v Speaker 1>productive citizen, Serve your country, serve your community. We want

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Officer Sings, We don't want Gustavo Perez's the illegal alien,

0:35:11.200 --> 0:35:13.920
<v Speaker 1>long criminal record. But they didn't want to turn them

0:35:13.960 --> 0:35:16.319
<v Speaker 1>over to ICE. It's committing crimes. Didn't want to turn

0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:18.520
<v Speaker 1>them over to the ICE. That's mean. Well, you know

0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:21.719
<v Speaker 1>what I think is really mean when people who are

0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:25.040
<v Speaker 1>charged with public safety, when elected officials, act in a

0:35:25.280 --> 0:35:29.960
<v Speaker 1>lawless fashion that results in the death of a public servant,

0:35:30.680 --> 0:35:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the ruination of a good American family, and undermining the

0:35:36.080 --> 0:35:38.080
<v Speaker 1>rule of law in the process, all because they want

0:35:38.120 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 1>to seem like they're so compassionate. You know, it's not compassionate.

0:35:41.360 --> 0:35:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Leaving behind Officer Singh's wife and five year old child.

0:35:44.440 --> 0:35:49.440
<v Speaker 1>That's not compassionate. It's a new year and you're probably

0:35:49.520 --> 0:35:51.680
<v Speaker 1>thinking about some new hires you've got to make, or

0:35:51.680 --> 0:35:53.880
<v Speaker 1>if you're a property owner, maybe you're going to be

0:35:54.000 --> 0:35:56.799
<v Speaker 1>leasing it out soon. Right, you need background checks done.

0:35:56.880 --> 0:35:59.400

0:36:46.960 --> 0:36:51.799
<v Speaker 1>Eight seven seven six nine five eleven seventy nine. If

0:36:51.880 --> 0:36:54.920
<v Speaker 1>he gives in now, that's the end of twenty nineteen.

0:36:55.000 --> 0:36:57.880
<v Speaker 1>In terms of him being an effective president, that's probably

0:36:58.000 --> 0:37:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the end of his presidency. Trump has made a promise

0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:03.520
<v Speaker 1>to the American people He's going to secure our border.

0:37:03.800 --> 0:37:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Every Democrat in the past I agree with the border funding,

0:37:06.760 --> 0:37:11.200
<v Speaker 1>keep changing their mind, and Lindsey Graham when he's right,

0:37:11.239 --> 0:37:13.959
<v Speaker 1>he's right. You know, and the man is in the zone.

0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:16.640
<v Speaker 1>He's pretty good, and I think he's correct here in

0:37:16.760 --> 0:37:20.600
<v Speaker 1>terms of Trump, Trump can't cave. We might be in

0:37:20.680 --> 0:37:26.040
<v Speaker 1>a shutdown for a very long time. Trump cannot cave,

0:37:26.480 --> 0:37:29.960
<v Speaker 1>and that means that this is just going to continue

0:37:30.080 --> 0:37:35.279
<v Speaker 1>on ultimately because Democrats don't want a secure border, and

0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:40.280
<v Speaker 1>we should have to make them really live with that reality.

0:37:40.360 --> 0:37:44.719
<v Speaker 1>We can allow them to get away with the platitudes,

0:37:44.880 --> 0:37:47.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, oh yeah, we want more border security. You know.

0:37:47.200 --> 0:37:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I I get so frustrated out of here from from

0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I had a new member of Congress on today. He's

0:37:54.000 --> 0:37:56.880
<v Speaker 1>from Nevada. I can't remember the guy's name. I interview

0:37:56.880 --> 0:37:58.759
<v Speaker 1>a lot of congressmen these days, and that's a lot

0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:01.879
<v Speaker 1>of it blurs together, and you know, but he's saying, yeah,

0:38:01.920 --> 0:38:05.120
<v Speaker 1>he's a Democrat obviously, because you know, Crystals Crystal brought

0:38:05.239 --> 0:38:07.520
<v Speaker 1>him on because we get to pick different I pick

0:38:07.600 --> 0:38:09.560
<v Speaker 1>people that I want to speak to. She picks people

0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:11.239
<v Speaker 1>that she will So today I got to speak to

0:38:11.239 --> 0:38:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the head of Border oh sorry, the chief of Operations

0:38:13.920 --> 0:38:16.680
<v Speaker 1>of Board of Patrol, which is very interesting. Um and

0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:19.759
<v Speaker 1>Crystal brought in this guy who was a who's a

0:38:19.800 --> 0:38:22.319
<v Speaker 1>new congressman. But he's saying, you know, democrats are four,

0:38:23.280 --> 0:38:26.799
<v Speaker 1>um are four border security? And how he's gonna say how?

0:38:27.800 --> 0:38:30.480
<v Speaker 1>And they say they're for a border security, but we

0:38:30.520 --> 0:38:34.120
<v Speaker 1>should also ask why they claim to be for border

0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:37.479
<v Speaker 1>security when they don't really seem to think that there's

0:38:37.520 --> 0:38:42.560
<v Speaker 1>a problem with people being in the country illegally, right,

0:38:42.920 --> 0:38:46.360
<v Speaker 1>they say, uh, you know, here, here's here's a perfect

0:38:46.360 --> 0:38:49.560
<v Speaker 1>example of a Democrat on MSNBC. I don't even know

0:38:50.000 --> 0:38:52.840
<v Speaker 1>who is Maria Hino Joseph. I don't know, is this

0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:57.240
<v Speaker 1>some kind of policy analyst person or something, but she's

0:38:57.280 --> 0:39:00.560
<v Speaker 1>giving voice to this on MSNBC's air play clip five.

0:39:01.000 --> 0:39:03.400
<v Speaker 1>First of all, he calls them illegal immigrants. There's no

0:39:03.480 --> 0:39:06.760
<v Speaker 1>such thing. And as an illegal immigrant, sir, no illegal

0:39:06.880 --> 0:39:14.120
<v Speaker 1>human being in the planet. With Kelly, there is no

0:39:14.280 --> 0:39:16.520
<v Speaker 1>such thing as an illegal human being? How many times

0:39:16.600 --> 0:39:21.279
<v Speaker 1>we have to say this? Get your grammar correct? Okay, okay, um,

0:39:21.560 --> 0:39:25.880
<v Speaker 1>She's not she's not a well informed person. She's a journalist.

0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:28.440
<v Speaker 1>That's so. I mean, it's not surprised, you know, lots

0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:30.719
<v Speaker 1>of journalists are not well informed in this issue. But

0:39:30.840 --> 0:39:34.560
<v Speaker 1>she's wrong because federal law states that there is, in

0:39:34.680 --> 0:39:36.960
<v Speaker 1>fact something called an illegal alien, and that is what

0:39:37.080 --> 0:39:39.640
<v Speaker 1>people who are in the country illegally are to be called.

0:39:40.200 --> 0:39:42.440
<v Speaker 1>They're not undocumented. You can try to play all these

0:39:42.520 --> 0:39:46.120
<v Speaker 1>word games as much as you want, but you're wrong.

0:39:46.560 --> 0:39:48.920
<v Speaker 1>This is this is a right and wrong issue. This

0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:51.240
<v Speaker 1>is the you remember at CNN at Apple and Banana,

0:39:51.239 --> 0:39:53.520
<v Speaker 1>which is hilaris because CNN is, you know, full of

0:39:54.200 --> 0:39:57.680
<v Speaker 1>garbage and lies all the time. Uh, but this is

0:39:57.760 --> 0:39:59.839
<v Speaker 1>where they you know, you have to make a stand.

0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:01.880
<v Speaker 1>You're against this. You can't let them get away with this.

0:40:02.080 --> 0:40:04.359
<v Speaker 1>And the fact that she's on MSNBC saying this crap.

0:40:04.440 --> 0:40:06.120
<v Speaker 1>There's no such thing as an I legal immigrant. That's

0:40:06.120 --> 0:40:09.680
<v Speaker 1>a lie. That's just not true. You know, this is

0:40:09.719 --> 0:40:11.440
<v Speaker 1>like saying there's no such thing as a murderer. No,

0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:14.719
<v Speaker 1>there are, there are murderers. There's no such thing as homicide.

0:40:14.800 --> 0:40:18.319
<v Speaker 1>No homicide exists. You can say you you don't want

0:40:18.360 --> 0:40:20.880
<v Speaker 1>it to exist, but that's not This is not up

0:40:20.920 --> 0:40:24.680
<v Speaker 1>for debater discussion. As a quick aside here, I saw

0:40:24.960 --> 0:40:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea Manning tweeted out this is now something you'll see

0:40:28.640 --> 0:40:31.319
<v Speaker 1>among among left wing activists. They'll just write the same

0:40:31.400 --> 0:40:35.040
<v Speaker 1>thing out like ten times on Twitter and Chelsea Manning,

0:40:35.080 --> 0:40:39.719
<v Speaker 1>who you know, sold out his country and you know

0:40:39.800 --> 0:40:44.360
<v Speaker 1>for what and now is lionizing. You read these you

0:40:44.480 --> 0:40:47.920
<v Speaker 1>read these, uh you know, editorials about how Chelsea Manning

0:40:48.320 --> 0:40:50.600
<v Speaker 1>not only will they talk about how you know he's

0:40:50.640 --> 0:40:54.080
<v Speaker 1>some kind of hero now, but also that you know,

0:40:54.200 --> 0:41:00.160
<v Speaker 1>he's like really attractive in this as a transgender female. Oh,

0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:04.239
<v Speaker 1>that's that's coming. By the way, you're bigoted. If as

0:41:04.280 --> 0:41:08.480
<v Speaker 1>a as a heterosexual male you do not find transgender females,

0:41:08.560 --> 0:41:12.080
<v Speaker 1>which are also known as males, attractive, you're bigoted. That's

0:41:12.400 --> 0:41:14.719
<v Speaker 1>you've already seen it happening. Some people have written it,

0:41:14.920 --> 0:41:17.480
<v Speaker 1>some people, you know. But the Miss Universe contest, you know,

0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:21.480
<v Speaker 1>we're supposed to I can't even watch this show, The

0:41:21.600 --> 0:41:24.719
<v Speaker 1>Marvelous Miss Mazal, which is supposed to take place in

0:41:24.760 --> 0:41:27.640
<v Speaker 1>the fifties, but you know it's Amazon. Oh my gosh,

0:41:27.719 --> 0:41:30.520
<v Speaker 1>so progressive, so much lib nonsense going on. It's one

0:41:30.560 --> 0:41:32.480
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons why I like shows at least that

0:41:32.520 --> 0:41:34.239
<v Speaker 1>are from like the you know, then supposed to take

0:41:34.239 --> 0:41:36.200
<v Speaker 1>place in ancient Rome or something, because at least then

0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:39.719
<v Speaker 1>we don't have them all just giving long speeches on diversity.

0:41:40.239 --> 0:41:43.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, we don't have Cicero standing up like, yes,

0:41:43.680 --> 0:41:47.600
<v Speaker 1>what then what the Roman consuls need is more diversity,

0:41:48.760 --> 0:41:50.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, at least if it's if it's a historical

0:41:52.480 --> 0:41:55.880
<v Speaker 1>period piece or period show. You don't get you know,

0:41:55.920 --> 0:41:58.680
<v Speaker 1>you don't have quite as many lectures about transgenderism. But

0:41:59.200 --> 0:42:01.680
<v Speaker 1>sure enough, I'm watching the marvelous Miss Mazel with Miss

0:42:01.920 --> 0:42:05.920
<v Speaker 1>with Miss Molly, and they there's this. They go into

0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:10.640
<v Speaker 1>this drag show in Paris, and the main characters starts

0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:15.000
<v Speaker 1>talking about how beautiful all these men dressed as women are. False.

0:42:16.440 --> 0:42:19.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, if we're now beauty is sure, it's subjective,

0:42:19.200 --> 0:42:21.560
<v Speaker 1>it's an aesthetic thing. But you know, I do not

0:42:21.719 --> 0:42:24.479
<v Speaker 1>find men who dress as women beautiful, and I don't

0:42:24.560 --> 0:42:26.920
<v Speaker 1>need people to go through this pretense of all acting

0:42:27.040 --> 0:42:29.759
<v Speaker 1>like there that that's a beautiful thing. You know. That's

0:42:30.960 --> 0:42:33.239
<v Speaker 1>the Today's I know you got me on transgender. I

0:42:33.360 --> 0:42:36.319
<v Speaker 1>was talking immigration. Now I'm on transgender. That Today's show

0:42:36.440 --> 0:42:41.040
<v Speaker 1>just had on this this transgender child or I'm sorry,

0:42:41.120 --> 0:42:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, not transgender child. Pardon me scratched that from her,

0:42:44.080 --> 0:42:48.040
<v Speaker 1>This drag show child, this little boy who's dressed as

0:42:48.080 --> 0:42:50.759
<v Speaker 1>a as a female in gyrating on stageless Leff and

0:42:50.840 --> 0:42:55.279
<v Speaker 1>This is just sick. This is bizarre. But Chelsea man,

0:42:55.360 --> 0:42:57.440
<v Speaker 1>and going back to the how I got on all

0:42:57.480 --> 0:43:01.320
<v Speaker 1>this is saying that they and them is a singular

0:43:01.360 --> 0:43:03.839
<v Speaker 1>pronoun and and he wrote that out. You know ten

0:43:03.920 --> 0:43:08.319
<v Speaker 1>times that's just not true. And two plus two does

0:43:08.360 --> 0:43:11.239
<v Speaker 1>not equal five. One plus one does not equal three.

0:43:11.640 --> 0:43:13.600
<v Speaker 1>They can say it, they can say it, they can

0:43:13.640 --> 0:43:16.719
<v Speaker 1>say it. It does not make it so. And this

0:43:16.960 --> 0:43:22.440
<v Speaker 1>is true on immigration as well. Illegal aliens are a

0:43:22.680 --> 0:43:25.960
<v Speaker 1>thing in law, in statute, in reality. You can go on,

0:43:26.280 --> 0:43:28.799
<v Speaker 1>you can try to make me say undocumented. You will

0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:32.480
<v Speaker 1>fail because you're wrong. This is a right and wrong issue. See,

0:43:32.520 --> 0:43:33.840
<v Speaker 1>this is why they can't. I mean, can you imagine

0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:35.839
<v Speaker 1>they have me on MSNBC or CNN. I'll just buck

0:43:35.920 --> 0:43:38.040
<v Speaker 1>slap everybody. Then they won't even know what I won't

0:43:38.040 --> 0:43:40.040
<v Speaker 1>even know what hit him. It's not even gonna happen.

0:43:42.040 --> 0:43:44.000
<v Speaker 1>So and for those of you are saying, oh Buck,

0:43:44.000 --> 0:43:48.280
<v Speaker 1>why aren't you more tenacious and slapping people around on Rising?

0:43:49.360 --> 0:43:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I my co host. That's a special. That's a special relationship,

0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:55.760
<v Speaker 1>co host relationship or special. It's like an on air marriage.

0:43:55.920 --> 0:43:58.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, this is your this is the person that

0:43:58.719 --> 0:44:00.480
<v Speaker 1>you are. You are doing a show with you were

0:44:00.480 --> 0:44:03.480
<v Speaker 1>putting out a product. So Crystal's a wonderful person, and

0:44:03.920 --> 0:44:06.560
<v Speaker 1>we share our points of view without attacking each other.

0:44:09.000 --> 0:44:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Everybody else who comes though, it's fair game. But you know,

0:44:11.520 --> 0:44:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I've got a deal with the fact that you can't

0:44:14.640 --> 0:44:16.800
<v Speaker 1>get a lot of libs to come on and debate

0:44:16.840 --> 0:44:19.040
<v Speaker 1>on these issues. You can't get a lot of libs

0:44:19.080 --> 0:44:20.440
<v Speaker 1>that want to talk about this with people like me

0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:21.719
<v Speaker 1>because they know they're gonna be in a lot of

0:44:21.800 --> 0:44:23.560
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be in a tough spot. They'd rather just

0:44:24.080 --> 0:44:26.279
<v Speaker 1>preach to the choir on on how there's no such

0:44:26.360 --> 0:44:28.239
<v Speaker 1>thing as an a legal person. There's no such thing

0:44:28.280 --> 0:44:31.560
<v Speaker 1>as an a legal person. It's a lie. But anyway,

0:44:31.600 --> 0:44:33.680
<v Speaker 1>back to the wall, I know I'm covering a lot

0:44:33.760 --> 0:44:35.560
<v Speaker 1>in this segment. I've gotten a little fired up and

0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm flying all over the place. So I'm sorry about

0:44:37.960 --> 0:44:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the lack of I liked other radio hosts. You know,

0:44:41.760 --> 0:44:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh this happened, and that happened. Let's worry about this

0:44:43.760 --> 0:44:45.640
<v Speaker 1>other story. I mean, I sometimes we'll hear, you know,

0:44:45.920 --> 0:44:48.920
<v Speaker 1>in a car with a radio on, I'll hear, you know,

0:44:49.000 --> 0:44:51.120
<v Speaker 1>how other hosts do this. And I'm always amazed that

0:44:51.160 --> 0:44:53.760
<v Speaker 1>they'll just, oh, let's come from this topic to that topic.

0:44:54.080 --> 0:44:55.759
<v Speaker 1>You know. Oh, you know Bill over there at the

0:44:55.960 --> 0:44:59.279
<v Speaker 1>County Farm. He's got this guy whoa. I thought we're

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:01.960
<v Speaker 1>talking about tacks reform. You know what happened. People jump

0:45:02.000 --> 0:45:04.399
<v Speaker 1>all over the place. But I try to stay more

0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:08.120
<v Speaker 1>on topic. When I can, Lindsey Graham back, We'll bring

0:45:08.200 --> 0:45:11.520
<v Speaker 1>it all back to Lindsey Graham. He says that Trump

0:45:11.640 --> 0:45:12.920
<v Speaker 1>is not going to sign a bill that doesn't have

0:45:12.960 --> 0:45:14.719
<v Speaker 1>money for the wall. I hope he's right. Flay clip too.

0:45:15.040 --> 0:45:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you how our government works. Any bill

0:45:17.160 --> 0:45:19.000
<v Speaker 1>passed from the House has to come to the Senate,

0:45:19.400 --> 0:45:22.120
<v Speaker 1>task gets sixty votes, and for it to be signed

0:45:22.160 --> 0:45:24.560
<v Speaker 1>in the law, the president has to sign it. He's

0:45:24.600 --> 0:45:27.480
<v Speaker 1>not going to sign a bill that doesn't have money

0:45:27.560 --> 0:45:30.200
<v Speaker 1>for the wall. I tell you exactly how this is

0:45:30.239 --> 0:45:32.800
<v Speaker 1>going to end. The President is going to challenge the

0:45:32.880 --> 0:45:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Democrats to compromise, and if they continue to say no,

0:45:36.840 --> 0:45:39.719
<v Speaker 1>they're going to pay a price. With American people. Most

0:45:39.800 --> 0:45:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Americans want to do two things. They want to secure

0:45:42.160 --> 0:45:44.520
<v Speaker 1>our border and they want to be reasonable to people

0:45:44.600 --> 0:45:53.160
<v Speaker 1>like the DOCA population. DOCCA Lindsey Graham, Docca is a

0:45:53.360 --> 0:45:57.400
<v Speaker 1>lot more complicated and from a rule of law position,

0:45:57.560 --> 0:46:02.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot more precarious than most mainstream goop folks willing admit,

0:46:02.239 --> 0:46:05.320
<v Speaker 1>including I think Lindsey Graham. DOCCA is not some simple

0:46:05.400 --> 0:46:07.279
<v Speaker 1>thing that we're just gonna give people status and it's

0:46:07.280 --> 0:46:10.000
<v Speaker 1>all gonna be great, that you're gonna it's gonna be

0:46:10.800 --> 0:46:13.120
<v Speaker 1>the number they tell you is gonna be a fraction

0:46:13.160 --> 0:46:18.560
<v Speaker 1>of the end number. And there's gonna be lawsuits from

0:46:18.600 --> 0:46:21.680
<v Speaker 1>here to Kingdom. Come on, people saying that they should

0:46:21.680 --> 0:46:23.759
<v Speaker 1>get DOCCA, who didn't get DOCCA, And oh, I'm a

0:46:23.840 --> 0:46:25.840
<v Speaker 1>DOCCA person too, and oh, you can't prove I'm not

0:46:27.000 --> 0:46:31.080
<v Speaker 1>that all said, I think if Trump really holds the

0:46:31.160 --> 0:46:33.040
<v Speaker 1>line on this, I think Lindsey Graham is right that

0:46:33.120 --> 0:46:35.480
<v Speaker 1>he needs to hold a line on this, we'll see

0:46:35.520 --> 0:46:38.560
<v Speaker 1>where the American people really stand. But this is a

0:46:38.680 --> 0:46:41.920
<v Speaker 1>pure political fight. This is all about public perception and

0:46:41.960 --> 0:46:44.160
<v Speaker 1>the pressure that that can be brought to bear on

0:46:44.320 --> 0:46:48.319
<v Speaker 1>elected representatives. That's what's gonna determine whether this show, how

0:46:48.400 --> 0:46:51.600
<v Speaker 1>this shutdown ends one way or the other. So that's

0:46:51.640 --> 0:46:53.440
<v Speaker 1>why we need to keep the pressure on team. That's

0:46:53.480 --> 0:46:57.480
<v Speaker 1>what we're doing. I want to introduce you to a

0:46:57.600 --> 0:47:02.520

0:47:57.640 --> 0:48:03.239
<v Speaker 1>code buc K for ten percent savings. Moller only heard

0:48:03.320 --> 0:48:07.239
<v Speaker 1>evidence from people who were trying to find evidence of

0:48:07.320 --> 0:48:11.960
<v Speaker 1>crimes and sins against President Trump, he didn't listen to

0:48:12.520 --> 0:48:17.840
<v Speaker 1>exculpatory evidence. He didn't allow anybody to cross examine these witnesses.

0:48:17.920 --> 0:48:20.520
<v Speaker 1>What if, for example, he's relying on Cohen, or he's

0:48:20.560 --> 0:48:23.799
<v Speaker 1>relying on Manaphor, and they haven't been cross examined. These

0:48:23.840 --> 0:48:26.840
<v Speaker 1>are people who were admitted liars, and so it seems

0:48:26.840 --> 0:48:28.880
<v Speaker 1>to me the Trump team has to have an opportunity

0:48:29.200 --> 0:48:32.800
<v Speaker 1>to present their case and then Congress and the public

0:48:32.880 --> 0:48:36.400
<v Speaker 1>can look at them both together. So team, as you know,

0:48:36.520 --> 0:48:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm here in the swamp, and that has some the

0:48:39.080 --> 0:48:41.560
<v Speaker 1>drawback is that it's the swamp and I'm surrounded by

0:48:41.560 --> 0:48:42.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people are like, oh, I look for

0:48:42.960 --> 0:48:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Congress Monzelazell I really important. No, really, not that important,

0:48:48.320 --> 0:48:52.239
<v Speaker 1>slower role. They're nerdy hill staffer. I do not care.

0:48:53.480 --> 0:48:56.120
<v Speaker 1>But there are some There are some benefits, and one

0:48:56.160 --> 0:48:57.759
<v Speaker 1>of them is that I get the chance sometimes to

0:48:58.760 --> 0:49:01.239
<v Speaker 1>sit down with you know, and I'm now I got

0:49:01.320 --> 0:49:02.799
<v Speaker 1>to do more of the journalist things. So I sit

0:49:02.880 --> 0:49:05.279
<v Speaker 1>down with them, and I can't get into specifics of

0:49:05.320 --> 0:49:09.120
<v Speaker 1>whom or or I can't attribute to them, but I

0:49:09.280 --> 0:49:12.719
<v Speaker 1>certainly can tell you when I get really worthwhile and

0:49:12.760 --> 0:49:16.000
<v Speaker 1>interesting information from them. Just what the information is and

0:49:16.280 --> 0:49:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I've been talking to some some high level sources the

0:49:21.320 --> 0:49:25.120
<v Speaker 1>DOJ in the last last week or so since people

0:49:25.200 --> 0:49:27.120
<v Speaker 1>have come back, although a lot of DJ is furloughed

0:49:27.200 --> 0:49:30.840
<v Speaker 1>right now because the government's shut down, and you know,

0:49:30.880 --> 0:49:36.600
<v Speaker 1>the Mueller probe is, well, this is this is not

0:49:36.760 --> 0:49:40.160
<v Speaker 1>this is not particularly breaking heres. The Muller probe is

0:49:40.440 --> 0:49:45.680
<v Speaker 1>in its latter phase, um, but it's also going to

0:49:45.719 --> 0:49:48.879
<v Speaker 1>be allowed to continue as it sees fit, which means

0:49:48.960 --> 0:49:51.600
<v Speaker 1>that you know, you could they could get some new

0:49:51.680 --> 0:49:54.480
<v Speaker 1>avenue of inquiry and all of a sudden it gets extended.

0:49:54.520 --> 0:49:56.640
<v Speaker 1>And that's why even if it's in the last quarter,

0:49:56.840 --> 0:50:00.160
<v Speaker 1>it's not quarter based, meaning it's not there's no at

0:50:00.239 --> 0:50:02.080
<v Speaker 1>timetable here. So even if they think it's about to

0:50:02.440 --> 0:50:03.959
<v Speaker 1>when I say about you, you know in the next

0:50:04.400 --> 0:50:07.799
<v Speaker 1>few months, that what we're talking about here, it's gonna end. Um.

0:50:08.239 --> 0:50:10.279
<v Speaker 1>But what what the Mother Probe is really turned into,

0:50:10.360 --> 0:50:13.279
<v Speaker 1>and there there are concerns about this from people at

0:50:13.400 --> 0:50:16.439
<v Speaker 1>DJ that they can't necessarily vocalize, But the Mother Probe

0:50:16.520 --> 0:50:22.160
<v Speaker 1>is turned into is an opportunity for essentially taxpayer funded

0:50:22.200 --> 0:50:24.400
<v Speaker 1>oppo research against the president United States. And that's what

0:50:24.520 --> 0:50:26.160
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be there's not going to be

0:50:26.200 --> 0:50:31.080
<v Speaker 1>any criminal charge against Donald Trump. That's that's not going

0:50:31.200 --> 0:50:33.920
<v Speaker 1>to happen, although I would know that Nancy Pelosi today

0:50:34.600 --> 0:50:36.920
<v Speaker 1>did say, oh, you know, it's not clear if if

0:50:37.000 --> 0:50:40.120
<v Speaker 1>you can, if you can charge the president or not

0:50:40.800 --> 0:50:42.680
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, we're here and that right they

0:50:42.760 --> 0:50:46.200
<v Speaker 1>want to. That's just trying to feed red meat to

0:50:46.320 --> 0:50:49.319
<v Speaker 1>the left wing loon base. You know, they're they're coming

0:50:49.440 --> 0:50:54.000
<v Speaker 1>up with different ways of of making sure that you know,

0:50:55.080 --> 0:50:57.560
<v Speaker 1>you can try to convince their side that they're they're

0:50:57.560 --> 0:51:00.399
<v Speaker 1>going to end the Trump presidency not at the ballot box,

0:51:00.520 --> 0:51:03.040
<v Speaker 1>but but via the law. And I would just note

0:51:03.239 --> 0:51:07.759
<v Speaker 1>and this this times in or discussion about impeachment and

0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:11.960
<v Speaker 1>what the current Democrat majority House representative is going to

0:51:12.040 --> 0:51:15.480
<v Speaker 1>do and if they think that the country is going

0:51:15.520 --> 0:51:17.840
<v Speaker 1>to be in a better place if they're able, oh

0:51:17.880 --> 0:51:20.080
<v Speaker 1>we do it, Yeah, we have Pelosi playclip six. We

0:51:20.200 --> 0:51:22.760
<v Speaker 1>have to wait and see what happens with the Muller report.

0:51:23.480 --> 0:51:27.279
<v Speaker 1>We shouldn't be impeaching for a political reason, and we

0:51:27.320 --> 0:51:30.640
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't avoid impeachment for a political reason because, as you

0:51:30.760 --> 0:51:35.120
<v Speaker 1>well know, there is longstanding Department of Justice guidance that

0:51:35.400 --> 0:51:38.719
<v Speaker 1>states a sitting president should not be indicted. I thought,

0:51:38.719 --> 0:51:40.839
<v Speaker 1>it is not the law, and it is not the law.

0:51:40.960 --> 0:51:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Everything indicate that a president can be indicted a president

0:51:43.960 --> 0:51:46.600
<v Speaker 1>who is in office. Could Robert Muller come back and say,

0:51:46.800 --> 0:51:48.719
<v Speaker 1>I am seeking And I think that that is an

0:51:48.760 --> 0:51:51.719
<v Speaker 1>open discussion. I think that is an open discussion in

0:51:51.880 --> 0:51:56.480
<v Speaker 1>terms of the law. Notice how everything she shares, I mean,

0:51:56.520 --> 0:51:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Peloski does you know intellection? Yeah, she has some

0:51:59.760 --> 0:52:02.120
<v Speaker 1>good political survival instincts and all that stuff, and she,

0:52:03.200 --> 0:52:06.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, is an insider and the you know, the

0:52:06.640 --> 0:52:09.919
<v Speaker 1>ultimate Democrat political insider these days. But honestly, she says

0:52:09.960 --> 0:52:13.040
<v Speaker 1>everything points to but it's an open discussion. Well, well,

0:52:13.080 --> 0:52:15.440
<v Speaker 1>which is it, Nancy? Can you or can you not

0:52:15.719 --> 0:52:19.279
<v Speaker 1>indict a sitting president? And it is clear she has

0:52:19.600 --> 0:52:22.920
<v Speaker 1>clearly she's not clear on what the answer to that is.

0:52:23.680 --> 0:52:26.759
<v Speaker 1>But the Muller report may or may not be made

0:52:26.840 --> 0:52:28.600
<v Speaker 1>public in the end. I think there's going to be

0:52:28.640 --> 0:52:31.239
<v Speaker 1>a tremendous amount of pressure to make it public. And

0:52:31.360 --> 0:52:33.680
<v Speaker 1>one thing that you'll notice, and this is what Dershowitz

0:52:33.800 --> 0:52:36.040
<v Speaker 1>was saying, that's why we came in with it, is

0:52:36.080 --> 0:52:40.400
<v Speaker 1>that it's going to be a hatchet job of the

0:52:40.480 --> 0:52:42.200
<v Speaker 1>administ no matter what. It's just going to be a

0:52:42.600 --> 0:52:47.440
<v Speaker 1>compilation of all of the different exercises that Muller and

0:52:47.480 --> 0:52:50.439
<v Speaker 1>his people have been through that are all intended toward

0:52:50.520 --> 0:52:53.480
<v Speaker 1>one goal. And the goal is to get a prosecution.

0:52:53.480 --> 0:52:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that is what they're That's what they're going for,

0:52:56.239 --> 0:52:59.560
<v Speaker 1>to get prosecutions. They're not there to adjudicate whether or

0:52:59.680 --> 0:53:01.480
<v Speaker 1>not they should be looking at people. They're trying to

0:53:01.680 --> 0:53:06.359
<v Speaker 1>rack and stack scalps. That's what special counsels do. That's

0:53:06.400 --> 0:53:10.400
<v Speaker 1>what of Hillary voters, you know Weissman and uh you

0:53:10.520 --> 0:53:12.920
<v Speaker 1>know Genie Ree and all the rest of them, that

0:53:12.960 --> 0:53:14.400
<v Speaker 1>that's what they're trying to do. They're trying to take

0:53:14.480 --> 0:53:16.880
<v Speaker 1>down people around Trump. And so there's going to be

0:53:16.960 --> 0:53:21.480
<v Speaker 1>a really I think a really clear need for the

0:53:21.560 --> 0:53:25.080
<v Speaker 1>administration to have a strong pushback strategy even one of

0:53:25.120 --> 0:53:29.520
<v Speaker 1>that stuff comes out. But also I think you maybe

0:53:29.640 --> 0:53:35.080
<v Speaker 1>seeing the media. I I really can't get into specifics,

0:53:36.040 --> 0:53:39.640
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna see a media freak out about DOJ policy

0:53:40.000 --> 0:53:42.239
<v Speaker 1>in the in the coming weeks, I think, and when

0:53:42.239 --> 0:53:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I when I'm able to tell you more about it,

0:53:43.920 --> 0:53:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I will, um. But let's just say that the journos,

0:53:49.840 --> 0:53:51.200
<v Speaker 1>some of them may be in for kind of a

0:53:51.760 --> 0:53:57.600
<v Speaker 1>an interesting route a wicketing. Ah can't I know, I know,

0:53:57.719 --> 0:53:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I shouldn't do. I can't get in more detail than that,

0:54:00.080 --> 0:54:04.719
<v Speaker 1>but I've got it on good, good authority that journalists

0:54:04.800 --> 0:54:08.280
<v Speaker 1>are gonna going to be in a more interesting position

0:54:08.360 --> 0:54:11.080
<v Speaker 1>in terms of how they're, how they think they're, how

0:54:11.160 --> 0:54:13.719
<v Speaker 1>protected they think they really are, especially when you get

0:54:13.760 --> 0:54:18.000
<v Speaker 1>into some of the uh, the efforts underway to find out,

0:54:18.200 --> 0:54:20.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, how do they get this information that they're

0:54:20.719 --> 0:54:26.799
<v Speaker 1>then using to bash the administration. But I digress. I'll

0:54:26.840 --> 0:54:29.520
<v Speaker 1>have more for you on that as I can consider

0:54:29.600 --> 0:54:31.680
<v Speaker 1>that one kind of a teaser for now team. But

0:54:31.719 --> 0:54:33.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Muller probe is still looms in the background.

0:54:33.680 --> 0:54:36.440
<v Speaker 1>It ties into the way the Congress is going to

0:54:36.480 --> 0:54:40.440
<v Speaker 1>be acting because you would think that the Special Counsel

0:54:40.560 --> 0:54:44.200
<v Speaker 1>wraps up, there will be there would be no need

0:54:44.440 --> 0:54:51.040
<v Speaker 1>for all these just assorted investigations that are But that's

0:54:51.080 --> 0:54:53.200
<v Speaker 1>not going to be the approach that the that the

0:54:53.360 --> 0:54:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Libs that Pelosi and company take. They're gonna they're gonna

0:54:56.640 --> 0:54:59.120
<v Speaker 1>pick up where Mueller leaves off, and they're gonna use

0:54:59.160 --> 0:55:02.960
<v Speaker 1>whatever's in the Mullar Report as essentially the roadmap for

0:55:03.080 --> 0:55:05.919
<v Speaker 1>what investigations they need to do for a full public

0:55:05.960 --> 0:55:10.480
<v Speaker 1>accounting of this. That's unfortunately where all this is heading.

0:55:10.560 --> 0:55:13.279
<v Speaker 1>But the good news is at the end of the day,

0:55:13.719 --> 0:55:15.520
<v Speaker 1>they're not going to be able to remove Trump from office,

0:55:15.560 --> 0:55:17.239
<v Speaker 1>and this is going to turn into this is all

0:55:17.320 --> 0:55:19.120
<v Speaker 1>going to just point to twenty twenty in the election.

0:55:19.560 --> 0:55:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about Syria coming up here. I was on

0:55:23.320 --> 0:55:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Kennedy Show on Fox Business last night discussing this issue.

0:55:26.320 --> 0:55:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I realized I didn't get into it right away, and

0:55:28.840 --> 0:55:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to because we have some updates really on

0:55:30.800 --> 0:55:34.560
<v Speaker 1>where Trump stands on the Syria question to pull out

0:55:34.640 --> 0:55:38.759
<v Speaker 1>and what's going to happen there. And here's something that

0:55:38.800 --> 0:55:42.200
<v Speaker 1>will shock none of you Trump. Trump did not blow

0:55:42.320 --> 0:55:44.400
<v Speaker 1>up the world with his decision. In fact, it's probably

0:55:44.440 --> 0:55:49.440
<v Speaker 1>going to be a good decision that's coming up. You

0:55:49.560 --> 0:55:53.920
<v Speaker 1>are now entering the Freedom Hontacle Operation Center. All S

0:55:54.400 --> 0:55:58.759
<v Speaker 1>programs musty caps strictly need to know Team Buck is

0:55:58.800 --> 0:56:02.520
<v Speaker 1>cleared and ready for a Buck brief. Well, there's so

0:56:02.640 --> 0:56:04.960
<v Speaker 1>many foolish things this man has done, but this, Frank's

0:56:05.000 --> 0:56:09.400
<v Speaker 1>pretty high a decision that is dangerous and a decision

0:56:09.520 --> 0:56:13.120
<v Speaker 1>that is a Christmas present to Vladimir Putin, giving a

0:56:13.360 --> 0:56:17.720
<v Speaker 1>huge Christmas present to Putin and to Iran. I couldn't

0:56:17.760 --> 0:56:20.520
<v Speaker 1>disagree more with this decision. It's a terrible decision. I

0:56:20.600 --> 0:56:23.480
<v Speaker 1>think this will be considered one of the worst foreign

0:56:23.560 --> 0:56:29.040
<v Speaker 1>policy blunders of this century. So that was the left

0:56:29.200 --> 0:56:34.200
<v Speaker 1>right before the Christmas on Trump's announcement that we're gonna

0:56:34.239 --> 0:56:37.880
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna draw it down in Syria. Worst foreign policy

0:56:37.920 --> 0:56:41.879
<v Speaker 1>decision ever, worst thing ever. Now that that's very that's

0:56:42.000 --> 0:56:44.839
<v Speaker 1>very powerful stuff to say when you've had a foreign

0:56:44.920 --> 0:56:50.520
<v Speaker 1>policy establishment that has been supporting endless war in Afghanistan

0:56:50.880 --> 0:56:55.719
<v Speaker 1>and continued US military occupation or military presence, I should say,

0:56:55.920 --> 0:57:00.320
<v Speaker 1>in Iraq and now the expansion of that to include area.

0:57:02.239 --> 0:57:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I reject these notions that and I want to get

0:57:05.040 --> 0:57:06.880
<v Speaker 1>into Syria in some detail with you in a moment here,

0:57:06.880 --> 0:57:10.560
<v Speaker 1>but I reject this idea that I'm seeing bandied about

0:57:11.560 --> 0:57:17.320
<v Speaker 1>that we can turn Iraq and Afghanistan into more or

0:57:17.400 --> 0:57:23.280
<v Speaker 1>less what we have with South Korea, with Okinawa in Japan,

0:57:23.480 --> 0:57:26.800
<v Speaker 1>and with Germany. You know, you point to these places

0:57:26.840 --> 0:57:30.240
<v Speaker 1>where in the aftermath of a war, we set up

0:57:30.280 --> 0:57:33.080
<v Speaker 1>a major US military base. Here's here's the problem for

0:57:33.160 --> 0:57:36.200
<v Speaker 1>that analogy. We're not in the aftermath of wars. We're

0:57:36.240 --> 0:57:40.200
<v Speaker 1>in ongoing conflict zones. And to have a military base

0:57:40.320 --> 0:57:42.920
<v Speaker 1>in an ongoing conflict zone is a very different thing.

0:57:44.640 --> 0:57:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Even if we are temporarily the guests of the host country,

0:57:47.720 --> 0:57:50.520
<v Speaker 1>we may not be welcome in the host country over

0:57:50.600 --> 0:57:53.040
<v Speaker 1>the long term and in the short term. There are

0:57:53.160 --> 0:57:57.320
<v Speaker 1>real risks. If you go back and read about Reagan's

0:57:57.600 --> 0:58:00.600
<v Speaker 1>military intervention was part of a multinational Elian you know,

0:58:00.680 --> 0:58:03.880
<v Speaker 1>you have a lot of kind of eerie deja vu

0:58:04.040 --> 0:58:07.360
<v Speaker 1>about US military interventions in the Middle East. And as

0:58:07.400 --> 0:58:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I've told you men, how many people will discuss this

0:58:09.200 --> 0:58:11.560
<v Speaker 1>on their radio shows. Very few. But the French were

0:58:11.640 --> 0:58:16.920
<v Speaker 1>bombing Damascus back in the nineteen twenties, back in the

0:58:17.040 --> 0:58:19.439
<v Speaker 1>in the early days of airplanes, where you know, what's

0:58:19.480 --> 0:58:21.200
<v Speaker 1>one of the first things the French air forces doing.

0:58:21.240 --> 0:58:25.040
<v Speaker 1>They're bombing Damascus, trying to put down a revolt there.

0:58:25.160 --> 0:58:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Back in in British and French, you know, British and

0:58:29.440 --> 0:58:33.680
<v Speaker 1>French control of the region, you know, going back to

0:58:33.800 --> 0:58:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Psykes Pico, the Sykes Pico Agreement after World War One,

0:58:37.560 --> 0:58:40.560
<v Speaker 1>so and by the way Jihattest in their propaganda will

0:58:40.560 --> 0:58:43.120
<v Speaker 1>still they'll talk about the Balfour Declaration in Sykes Pico.

0:58:43.200 --> 0:58:45.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, this all looms very large and that part

0:58:45.320 --> 0:58:47.360
<v Speaker 1>of the world. You know here, I think people generally

0:58:48.040 --> 0:58:51.320
<v Speaker 1>drop this stuff off the radar pretty quickly. But there's

0:58:51.360 --> 0:58:54.280
<v Speaker 1>just no apt comparison between what's going on with our

0:58:54.320 --> 0:58:56.320
<v Speaker 1>military presence in the Middle East and what happened after

0:58:57.080 --> 0:59:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the Korean War the Second World War. And I think

0:59:00.200 --> 0:59:03.760
<v Speaker 1>that we lull ourselves into a false sense of security

0:59:04.400 --> 0:59:09.000
<v Speaker 1>um by not really assessing the dangers that we face properly.

0:59:09.520 --> 0:59:12.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, we thought we were able to be a

0:59:12.200 --> 0:59:18.360
<v Speaker 1>stabilizing presence in Lebanon until Hesbella had had a suicide

0:59:18.360 --> 0:59:20.800
<v Speaker 1>bomber drive a truck full of explosives into a US

0:59:20.920 --> 0:59:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Marine barracks and kill over two hundred of our of

0:59:24.040 --> 0:59:29.120
<v Speaker 1>our of our marines, a number of a number of

0:59:29.440 --> 0:59:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Navy casualties beyond beyond the Marines as well. You know,

0:59:32.400 --> 0:59:37.000
<v Speaker 1>that's that can happen in a day. That's not going

0:59:37.040 --> 0:59:39.720
<v Speaker 1>to happen in South Korea. It's not going to happen

0:59:39.840 --> 0:59:43.000
<v Speaker 1>in Germany. It could happen in Afghanistan, and it definitely

0:59:43.000 --> 0:59:48.080
<v Speaker 1>could happen in in Syria. So that's I think, you know,

0:59:48.120 --> 0:59:50.720
<v Speaker 1>which obviously right next door to Lebanon. So that's one

0:59:50.840 --> 0:59:53.600
<v Speaker 1>consideration that just we need to establish that right away.

0:59:53.640 --> 0:59:58.560
<v Speaker 1>But also the hysteria around Trump's decision here and the

0:59:58.800 --> 1:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>unwillingness to deal with the realities of what the so

1:00:03.200 --> 1:00:08.200
<v Speaker 1>called smart set consensus or the you know, the foreign

1:00:08.280 --> 1:00:10.040
<v Speaker 1>policy establishment, however you want to direct it, and the

1:00:10.080 --> 1:00:11.960
<v Speaker 1>people that think they know a lot about foreign policy,

1:00:12.840 --> 1:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>many of them were in favor and bybly, you know,

1:00:14.520 --> 1:00:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Brett McGurk, he's I know, people I don't know him,

1:00:17.920 --> 1:00:19.600
<v Speaker 1>but I some of the people that I trust the

1:00:19.680 --> 1:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>most that still are on the national security side, they

1:00:22.120 --> 1:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>say the guy's a kind of a grand standard. And

1:00:24.680 --> 1:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>it's really all about the you know, the way the

1:00:27.520 --> 1:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>media refers to Bret McGurk. I mean, you know, he's

1:00:30.240 --> 1:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna get he's gonna be on the fifty thousand, one

1:00:32.960 --> 1:00:36.640
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand, probably fifty thousand dollars elected circuit lecture circuit

1:00:36.720 --> 1:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>here for a while, and he's gonna be an anti

1:00:39.080 --> 1:00:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Trumper who resigned, and it's a good it's a good

1:00:41.360 --> 1:00:44.240
<v Speaker 1>brand move for him to leave at this point. Now,

1:00:44.360 --> 1:00:47.160
<v Speaker 1>are there real concerns over the Koords and over what's

1:00:47.560 --> 1:00:50.480
<v Speaker 1>of course, but guess what Trump is now taking those

1:00:50.560 --> 1:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>concerns into account when he announced this, I was saying

1:00:53.920 --> 1:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>to you on this show. I wrote it on Twitter

1:00:55.840 --> 1:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>as well. I think he's right in the grants game

1:01:00.240 --> 1:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>of things, Trump's decision not to create this permanent US

1:01:03.040 --> 1:01:05.760
<v Speaker 1>military presence in Syria or se whatever that you know,

1:01:05.960 --> 1:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>nothing's ever permanent, right, so we can quibble, we can

1:01:08.280 --> 1:01:10.800
<v Speaker 1>get into the semantics here. Oh, it's just you know,

1:01:10.840 --> 1:01:14.439
<v Speaker 1>we're staying for a while. Okay, Well, if you're gonna

1:01:14.440 --> 1:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>stay for ten years, it feels pretty permanent to be.

1:01:17.200 --> 1:01:19.080
<v Speaker 1>And when was the last time we just said, hey,

1:01:19.160 --> 1:01:21.680
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna take a military base and you know, well,

1:01:21.760 --> 1:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>yeah we did it. You know we we we changed

1:01:23.880 --> 1:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>our presence in Saudi Arabia because of the pressure we

1:01:27.440 --> 1:01:30.080
<v Speaker 1>were under, you know, to stay in Saudi Arabia and

1:01:30.120 --> 1:01:32.960
<v Speaker 1>security concerns and and the fact that the Middle East.

1:01:32.960 --> 1:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you look at Ben Laden in the

1:01:34.480 --> 1:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Earth in the early days of Ben Laden's manifestos. People

1:01:38.080 --> 1:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>forget about this now, but it was US military presence

1:01:40.200 --> 1:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>in Saudi Arabia that was getting this guy so hot

1:01:45.720 --> 1:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>and bothered. Um, so you know, you look at this

1:01:50.480 --> 1:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>decision that that Trump made and all ever was just

1:01:52.920 --> 1:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>always the worst decision ever. He's getting guarantees of security

1:01:57.200 --> 1:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>for the Kords. He's slowing it down. So now it's

1:02:00.880 --> 1:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>going to take about one hundred and twenty days. And

1:02:03.200 --> 1:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>that is important on its own because it tells you

1:02:08.240 --> 1:02:10.479
<v Speaker 1>how in trench we really are. You know, this isn't

1:02:10.520 --> 1:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>like all right, everybody like, you know, pack up the trucks,

1:02:12.720 --> 1:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, hop on a few hop on a few

1:02:15.520 --> 1:02:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Blackhawks and get out of dodge. No, this is we

1:02:18.800 --> 1:02:21.640
<v Speaker 1>got a real infrastructure in place in Syria now. And

1:02:22.040 --> 1:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>you know I've opposed this, stretching back to I think

1:02:25.160 --> 1:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I wrote a National Review a piece titled Assad an

1:02:29.120 --> 1:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Arab Problem in twenty twelve where I was like, look,

1:02:33.040 --> 1:02:34.920
<v Speaker 1>we should not have you, we should not have boots

1:02:34.920 --> 1:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>on the ground in Syria. It's a bad idea for X,

1:02:37.240 --> 1:02:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Y and Z reasons. And I think that so that

1:02:40.720 --> 1:02:43.640
<v Speaker 1>was where I thought, almost now gone on seven years ago.

1:02:44.120 --> 1:02:46.240
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not new to this. Let's not make Syria

1:02:46.360 --> 1:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>another another Iraq like situation. I've tried to be at

1:02:51.800 --> 1:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>least to be principal on foreign policy is well, to

1:02:55.920 --> 1:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>be consistent on foreign policy means that you're not taking

1:02:59.040 --> 1:03:01.760
<v Speaker 1>new information account right, You're going to be changing with

1:03:02.000 --> 1:03:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the realities in the ground as much as you can.

1:03:04.040 --> 1:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>But to me, principal is I think important because ultimately

1:03:08.080 --> 1:03:10.240
<v Speaker 1>this is about US security and about making sure that

1:03:10.320 --> 1:03:12.080
<v Speaker 1>we don't have troop commitments that we should not have,

1:03:12.240 --> 1:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>that we don't have people that are put our people

1:03:14.440 --> 1:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>put in harm's way for a fight that's not their fight,

1:03:18.040 --> 1:03:21.400
<v Speaker 1>which is now that the Islamic State has been effectively suppressed,

1:03:21.480 --> 1:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I won't say defeated or eradicated, suppressed. We can have

1:03:26.680 --> 1:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>that discussion about what comes next and who should be

1:03:29.000 --> 1:03:31.160
<v Speaker 1>doing that fighting, and I think it's an important one

1:03:31.240 --> 1:03:35.120
<v Speaker 1>for us all to focus on. But think about what

1:03:35.200 --> 1:03:39.640
<v Speaker 1>the alternative was here. Think about the alternative, and that is,

1:03:40.280 --> 1:03:43.120
<v Speaker 1>if the foreign policy elites get what they want on Syria,

1:03:43.880 --> 1:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>it would mean that we stay and now we're committed

1:03:46.600 --> 1:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>to trying to get a political settlement. What the what

1:03:50.440 --> 1:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>does that political settlement look look like? You have ASSAD

1:03:55.200 --> 1:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>with Russian and Iranian backing, in control of a vast

1:03:59.840 --> 1:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>majority of the Syrian population, it can be a little

1:04:03.360 --> 1:04:06.200
<v Speaker 1>uh disorienting when you look at a map of Syria

1:04:06.280 --> 1:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and you see the areas that the Kurds control. Most

1:04:09.040 --> 1:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>of what they control is desert with some roads connecting

1:04:11.640 --> 1:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>some villages. There's not a lot of major population. The

1:04:15.040 --> 1:04:20.720
<v Speaker 1>population centers Damascus, Aleppo, Hama, homes, you know, all these

1:04:20.760 --> 1:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>different la Latakia. I mean, these are places that the regime,

1:04:26.560 --> 1:04:29.280
<v Speaker 1>the Assad regime controls, and that's where people live. So

1:04:29.400 --> 1:04:34.040
<v Speaker 1>the population is already overwhelmingly under under the control of

1:04:34.040 --> 1:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>the Assad regime, and that's not going to change. There

1:04:38.680 --> 1:04:42.360
<v Speaker 1>is no world, there's no future in which we are

1:04:42.440 --> 1:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>going to get Assad to step down. We're going to

1:04:44.680 --> 1:04:47.960
<v Speaker 1>get a you know, elections to be held or Assad one.

1:04:48.720 --> 1:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Assad had managed to outlast and therefore defeat the anti

1:04:52.720 --> 1:04:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Assad resistance in Syria. That is reality, and that the

1:04:57.280 --> 1:05:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Russians and the Iranians run stin pardon the wordplay, and

1:05:02.680 --> 1:05:05.400
<v Speaker 1>backed him at a critical moment to prevent them from

1:05:05.440 --> 1:05:09.000
<v Speaker 1>overrunning him. That's now just history. That happened, that was

1:05:09.120 --> 1:05:11.920
<v Speaker 1>under the Obama administration's watch. We can't change that to

1:05:12.160 --> 1:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>think that now this laid in the game, we are

1:05:16.040 --> 1:05:19.360
<v Speaker 1>going to have some kind of leverage visa VI. The

1:05:19.440 --> 1:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Asad regime to push for a political set of settlement

1:05:22.760 --> 1:05:27.200
<v Speaker 1>that says, what, a full Kurdish autonomy in these areas

1:05:27.840 --> 1:05:30.440
<v Speaker 1>is not acceptable to Turks, and the Turks will completely

1:05:30.520 --> 1:05:33.840
<v Speaker 1>freak out about that. So what do we really think

1:05:33.880 --> 1:05:36.360
<v Speaker 1>this political you know, with with the Free Syrian Army

1:05:36.520 --> 1:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>or you know, whatever the acronym that they're using for

1:05:39.640 --> 1:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>it is now, but the resistance essentially is it's mostly

1:05:45.120 --> 1:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Kurdish fighters still. So there's not a sufficient Sunni Arab

1:05:51.440 --> 1:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>force to take on the Assad regime in any meaningful way,

1:05:55.960 --> 1:05:58.280
<v Speaker 1>and we don't want them to, you know, we're not

1:05:58.400 --> 1:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>looking for it because that just perpetuates the of a war.

1:06:01.320 --> 1:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>So this is what nobody wants to say. Assad one.

1:06:05.280 --> 1:06:09.960
<v Speaker 1>The Iranians are there to stay, the Russians are there

1:06:10.080 --> 1:06:12.640
<v Speaker 1>to stay. The Russians had a base, a naval base

1:06:12.840 --> 1:06:17.480
<v Speaker 1>at Tartus long before we were even getting involved, or

1:06:17.560 --> 1:06:20.920
<v Speaker 1>long before there was a Syrian civil war. That none

1:06:20.920 --> 1:06:22.640
<v Speaker 1>of that's going to change. So what do we really

1:06:22.720 --> 1:06:26.960
<v Speaker 1>think are no end in sight presence gives us in

1:06:27.040 --> 1:06:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Syria helped suppresses the Islamic state. Well, we're hoping the

1:06:29.640 --> 1:06:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Kurdish fighters will suppress the Islamic State. We can still

1:06:32.680 --> 1:06:34.280
<v Speaker 1>give them air cover. In fact, we've had a number

1:06:34.280 --> 1:06:36.520
<v Speaker 1>of air strikes since Trump made the announcement. They've accelerated

1:06:36.560 --> 1:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>air strikes as part of the planned US withdrawal of troops.

1:06:41.000 --> 1:06:43.200
<v Speaker 1>So if we get guarantees of safety for the Kurds,

1:06:43.680 --> 1:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>the Kurds have already said that they're reaching out. I

1:06:45.720 --> 1:06:47.040
<v Speaker 1>know we're getting deep in the weeds here, but some

1:06:47.120 --> 1:06:49.520
<v Speaker 1>of you, you know, look, this is important issue. I mean,

1:06:49.560 --> 1:06:51.120
<v Speaker 1>to really know it, you have to really dig into it.

1:06:51.200 --> 1:06:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Otherwise it's just plat. Otherwise it's the idiocy of Nancy Pelosi.

1:06:54.440 --> 1:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>They get put into Christmas present, isn't you know? As

1:06:57.280 --> 1:06:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I know the first thing about any of this stuff.

1:07:00.200 --> 1:07:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think it was Pelosi who said, not

1:07:01.800 --> 1:07:03.880
<v Speaker 1>too long ago, the road the peace runs through Damascus,

1:07:04.000 --> 1:07:05.760
<v Speaker 1>right before the Syrians civil war killed a half a

1:07:05.800 --> 1:07:08.280
<v Speaker 1>million people. So you know, she doesn't know, she doesn't know.

1:07:08.520 --> 1:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Squat not a deep thinker on these issues at all.

1:07:13.240 --> 1:07:15.240
<v Speaker 1>But as you could hear from that sound bite, we

1:07:15.280 --> 1:07:17.200
<v Speaker 1>came in with, oh yeah, that's right, you know, the

1:07:17.320 --> 1:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Syrians or the you know, Christmas present for Prutin was

1:07:22.280 --> 1:07:24.440
<v Speaker 1>the line that Democrats were all going with. You know,

1:07:24.480 --> 1:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>it's important to think critically about these issues. They matter.

1:07:28.960 --> 1:07:32.400
<v Speaker 1>We have Americans who are in harm's way and we

1:07:32.560 --> 1:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>don't you know, we don't want to allow this area

1:07:34.480 --> 1:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>to become a launch pad for Jihatas to try to

1:07:37.120 --> 1:07:39.520
<v Speaker 1>attack us and blow us up all over the world again.

1:07:39.560 --> 1:07:42.440
<v Speaker 1>But we also can't build everyone else's society for them.

1:07:42.480 --> 1:07:45.080
<v Speaker 1>They won't let us do it. Although I'm concerned no

1:07:45.280 --> 1:07:46.800
<v Speaker 1>one's thinking about this right now, I don't think the

1:07:46.840 --> 1:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Iraqis are going to let us stay that long. How

1:07:49.040 --> 1:07:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Everyone just kind of assumes that our presence in Iraq

1:07:51.240 --> 1:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>is oh so welcome. Mmmm. That's uh, that's status a

1:07:56.760 --> 1:07:59.200
<v Speaker 1>force agreement or that you know that okay that we

1:07:59.320 --> 1:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>have with them to be in country, And now that

1:08:00.840 --> 1:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>could go anytime. We don't know. Rocky politics are less

1:08:04.560 --> 1:08:06.320
<v Speaker 1>stable than we think, and they're certain they're less pro

1:08:06.400 --> 1:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>American than we'd like to think too. By the way,

1:08:09.080 --> 1:08:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Doug McGregor's a retired Army colonel. I've been seeing him

1:08:12.480 --> 1:08:13.960
<v Speaker 1>in the green room over at Fox. We've been talking.

1:08:13.960 --> 1:08:15.720
<v Speaker 1>We've been chewing this issue over a lot lately. We

1:08:15.800 --> 1:08:18.519
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of fun chatting about these different foreign

1:08:18.560 --> 1:08:21.040
<v Speaker 1>policy challenges. You know, here's what he said about Syria.

1:08:21.120 --> 1:08:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Play fourteen. You've got to remember that most of your

1:08:23.120 --> 1:08:26.240
<v Speaker 1>senior officers or products of the Clinton, Bush Obama era,

1:08:26.560 --> 1:08:29.839
<v Speaker 1>so they have a lot invested in this. And remember

1:08:29.880 --> 1:08:32.000
<v Speaker 1>that the people who live in the seven zip codes

1:08:32.439 --> 1:08:35.320
<v Speaker 1>in and around Washington, DC have all become millionaires as

1:08:35.320 --> 1:08:39.560
<v Speaker 1>a result of their investment in these failed operation and

1:08:39.680 --> 1:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>you have a lot of resistance to ending something that's

1:08:42.160 --> 1:08:45.160
<v Speaker 1>been profitable for them. It hasn't been profitable for the

1:08:45.200 --> 1:08:48.599
<v Speaker 1>American people. It's been a disaster, trillions dollars in debt

1:08:48.880 --> 1:08:52.000
<v Speaker 1>over the last seventeen years, thousands of people killed and wounded,

1:08:52.240 --> 1:08:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and for what. The answer is not much. Not a

1:08:57.000 --> 1:08:58.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of folks want to say it. I think I

1:08:59.000 --> 1:09:02.960
<v Speaker 1>think Colonel McGregor is at least above the target, if

1:09:03.000 --> 1:09:06.479
<v Speaker 1>not right on target. I mean he's close. He is

1:09:06.520 --> 1:09:09.880
<v Speaker 1>a He very much thinks that there's a financial incentive

1:09:10.400 --> 1:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>for the elites that never gets brought into these discussions.

1:09:13.040 --> 1:09:16.960
<v Speaker 1>But you know, that's a thread that I'll have to

1:09:17.040 --> 1:09:20.280
<v Speaker 1>pull out and look at a little bit more. But

1:09:20.439 --> 1:09:23.519
<v Speaker 1>he really goes after that Play fifteen. People know, once

1:09:23.600 --> 1:09:26.200
<v Speaker 1>we leave Syria, once we get completely out of Iraq.

1:09:26.600 --> 1:09:30.519
<v Speaker 1>Once we get completely out of Afghanistan, it's over. And

1:09:30.800 --> 1:09:33.760
<v Speaker 1>President Trump is going to do that. That's very clear.

1:09:34.560 --> 1:09:36.840
<v Speaker 1>We got the Syrian government to go in there, we

1:09:37.040 --> 1:09:40.160
<v Speaker 1>got out. Now we have created an enormous problem for

1:09:40.240 --> 1:09:43.679
<v Speaker 1>mister Putin because mister Putin has cultivated the Turks, Mister

1:09:43.720 --> 1:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Putin has also cultivated his Iranian and Syrian allies. He's

1:09:47.760 --> 1:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>got to make a choice. Does he allow the Turks

1:09:50.400 --> 1:09:53.519
<v Speaker 1>into Syria, then he loses his position with the Syrians

1:09:53.560 --> 1:09:56.559
<v Speaker 1>and the Iranians. So the notion that mister Putin has

1:09:56.600 --> 1:09:59.800
<v Speaker 1>somehow another one something is absurd. This has been a

1:10:00.040 --> 1:10:03.920
<v Speaker 1>a clever move on the part of the President, essentially

1:10:03.960 --> 1:10:06.280
<v Speaker 1>saying it's the opposite of a Christmas present for prudent.

1:10:07.240 --> 1:10:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Whether Prutin realized it or not. So interesting, interesting, kind

1:10:10.280 --> 1:10:12.800
<v Speaker 1>of kind of contrarit analysis from Colonel McGregor. There. We'll

1:10:12.840 --> 1:10:15.040
<v Speaker 1>have him on the show soon. I saw Doug just

1:10:15.200 --> 1:10:17.400
<v Speaker 1>last night over Fox. We'll have him on. You know,

1:10:17.760 --> 1:10:21.280
<v Speaker 1>he's a he's a smart guy and he calls it

1:10:21.360 --> 1:10:23.640
<v Speaker 1>like he sees it. All right, quick break team, We'll

1:10:23.680 --> 1:10:26.920
<v Speaker 1>be right back. Hold on a second. I'm gonna get

1:10:27.040 --> 1:10:35.519
<v Speaker 1>me a beer. Hey, my husband Bruce is now do

1:10:35.600 --> 1:10:39.519
<v Speaker 1>you want to pass on beer for now? I pass? Oh? Yeah,

1:10:39.720 --> 1:10:43.120
<v Speaker 1>So this is my speedy flow. Oh it's my sweet

1:10:43.960 --> 1:10:49.040
<v Speaker 1>thank you for being here. Hello. That was Elizabeth Warren

1:10:49.120 --> 1:10:52.600
<v Speaker 1>being so likable. I'm gonna get me a beer, she

1:10:52.760 --> 1:10:56.280
<v Speaker 1>says as she's making a video in an effort to

1:10:57.040 --> 1:10:59.599
<v Speaker 1>deal with the unlikability factor. Some of the dumbest political

1:10:59.600 --> 1:11:01.679
<v Speaker 1>ANALYSI I've heard in a long time, which is saying

1:11:01.720 --> 1:11:05.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot revolves around this idea that unlikable is somehow

1:11:05.760 --> 1:11:11.320
<v Speaker 1>a word, a word that is a sexist word. And

1:11:11.439 --> 1:11:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I sit here, I'm like, all I heard about Ted

1:11:13.120 --> 1:11:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Cruise from the Trump supporters in the primary, it was

1:11:15.120 --> 1:11:18.479
<v Speaker 1>how unlikable Ted Cruise was. So, you know, lots of

1:11:18.520 --> 1:11:21.160
<v Speaker 1>people are on John Kasik is unlikable. It's nothing to

1:11:21.240 --> 1:11:24.519
<v Speaker 1>do with sexism. So I guess I'm not going to

1:11:24.560 --> 1:11:27.680
<v Speaker 1>get a kas exclusive interview anytime soon. But nonetheless, I

1:11:27.760 --> 1:11:31.400
<v Speaker 1>don't care. But Warren is trying so hard. Oh gosh,

1:11:31.520 --> 1:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>and now she's also trying to deal with the massive Yeah,

1:11:34.160 --> 1:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>that was a video that she released. Oh I'm just

1:11:35.880 --> 1:11:38.839
<v Speaker 1>getting me a beer. Oh yeah, I'm gonna sound folksy

1:11:38.960 --> 1:11:42.479
<v Speaker 1>so people like me. She also had to deal with

1:11:42.600 --> 1:11:45.880
<v Speaker 1>the whole Native American heritage situation that well, it doesn't

1:11:45.920 --> 1:11:50.799
<v Speaker 1>exist right her heritage play clip twelfth. Now the president

1:11:50.920 --> 1:11:53.840
<v Speaker 1>likes to call my mom a liar. What do the

1:11:53.880 --> 1:11:58.280
<v Speaker 1>facts say? You absolutely have a Native American ancestor in

1:11:58.320 --> 1:12:01.519
<v Speaker 1>your pedigree. I'm not enrolled to tribe and only tribe

1:12:01.560 --> 1:12:06.080
<v Speaker 1>to determine tribal citizenship. I understand and respect that distinction.

1:12:06.240 --> 1:12:11.000
<v Speaker 1>But my family history is my family history. Her truth

1:12:11.200 --> 1:12:13.559
<v Speaker 1>is her truth, you see, and her truth is a lie.

1:12:14.400 --> 1:12:19.400
<v Speaker 1>This is this is really stretching the limits of sanity

1:12:19.520 --> 1:12:23.680
<v Speaker 1>here with Elizabeth Warren. You know what was that she

1:12:23.800 --> 1:12:27.200
<v Speaker 1>released the DNA test and she's one one thousand and

1:12:27.280 --> 1:12:29.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty four that that doesn't count. I love today Trump.

1:12:30.200 --> 1:12:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Trump tweeted out, you know a a meme that was

1:12:34.360 --> 1:12:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Warren Warren one one thousand and twenty twentieth, which was

1:12:39.280 --> 1:12:44.480
<v Speaker 1>just great. She's she's done, You're here, she's done. Democrats

1:12:44.520 --> 1:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to be better running freshman Congresswoman Occasio Quartez. I really

1:12:48.080 --> 1:12:51.000
<v Speaker 1>mean that they'd be better running her, No question for president.

1:12:51.120 --> 1:12:54.439
<v Speaker 1>No Elizabeth Warren. Elizabeth Warren's career in terms of the

1:12:54.520 --> 1:12:58.679
<v Speaker 1>presidencies toast well, you know, after he was elected president,

1:12:59.200 --> 1:13:01.960
<v Speaker 1>it was very much my hope that he would rise

1:13:02.040 --> 1:13:04.799
<v Speaker 1>to the occasion, rise to the mantle of the office.

1:13:05.479 --> 1:13:08.400
<v Speaker 1>After all, becoming president of the United States is quite

1:13:08.400 --> 1:13:11.040
<v Speaker 1>an elevation for anybody. And he has said during the

1:13:11.080 --> 1:13:14.479
<v Speaker 1>campaign that he could be extraordinary presidential. When I hear that,

1:13:14.600 --> 1:13:19.320
<v Speaker 1>I think of Washington and Lincoln and Jefferson and Roosevelt

1:13:19.400 --> 1:13:22.959
<v Speaker 1>and Kennedy and Eisenhower, and I think of those qualities.

1:13:23.000 --> 1:13:26.519
<v Speaker 1>And I think that while he spoke of that, and

1:13:26.680 --> 1:13:29.799
<v Speaker 1>while that was my hope, I don't think he's followed

1:13:29.840 --> 1:13:32.600
<v Speaker 1>through on that front the way he's followed through on

1:13:32.680 --> 1:13:36.400
<v Speaker 1>some of his other promises. I would like to just

1:13:36.800 --> 1:13:41.920
<v Speaker 1>take issue again with the whole Mitt Romney assault on

1:13:41.960 --> 1:13:46.240
<v Speaker 1>the Trump presidency that was set off the first remember

1:13:46.320 --> 1:13:48.680
<v Speaker 1>first day back in the new year. Everyone's getting back

1:13:48.680 --> 1:13:52.400
<v Speaker 1>into their business, and Mitt Romney decides that he's going

1:13:52.479 --> 1:13:54.680
<v Speaker 1>to not take a shot across the babbot, really a

1:13:54.720 --> 1:13:56.840
<v Speaker 1>shot into the bow of the administration, and he's really

1:13:56.920 --> 1:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>going to go after Trump in his public publicly a

1:14:00.720 --> 1:14:03.519
<v Speaker 1>waist as he can, and you know, just going on

1:14:03.680 --> 1:14:06.400
<v Speaker 1>seeing in all these other places to just trash trash

1:14:06.479 --> 1:14:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the president's character. I just think it'sentionally that that he

1:14:08.840 --> 1:14:14.040
<v Speaker 1>says presidential and he names all these people, and it's

1:14:14.080 --> 1:14:17.000
<v Speaker 1>as though he's not nearly as sophisticated a thinker as

1:14:17.040 --> 1:14:21.320
<v Speaker 1>he would like to believe he is. Because this notion

1:14:21.479 --> 1:14:25.320
<v Speaker 1>that that that presidents in the past were so presidential

1:14:26.040 --> 1:14:27.960
<v Speaker 1>doesn't stand up to scrutiny. I mean, when you say

1:14:27.960 --> 1:14:31.840
<v Speaker 1>presidential in the in the sense of people of tremendous

1:14:32.320 --> 1:14:35.080
<v Speaker 1>honor and personal integrity and dignating all this, Yeah, there

1:14:35.120 --> 1:14:38.280
<v Speaker 1>have been some. There have also been scoundrels who were

1:14:38.360 --> 1:14:40.920
<v Speaker 1>the president. I mean there have been people who are president.

1:14:41.000 --> 1:14:43.920
<v Speaker 1>And now this is not to say, oh that we

1:14:44.040 --> 1:14:46.320
<v Speaker 1>know we can't criticize presidents for bad behavior, and no,

1:14:46.360 --> 1:14:47.880
<v Speaker 1>it's not that at all. This isn't a what about

1:14:48.000 --> 1:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>ism or moral relativism or anything. I'm just saying I

1:14:51.479 --> 1:14:53.519
<v Speaker 1>wish Mitt had thought this through a little bit more.

1:14:53.960 --> 1:14:58.040
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna talk about being presidential and you're gonna name JFK, who,

1:14:58.600 --> 1:15:01.320
<v Speaker 1>by the way, you know, talking about nepotism, appointed his

1:15:01.400 --> 1:15:04.439
<v Speaker 1>brother to be attorney general, so that that seems pretty

1:15:04.560 --> 1:15:08.439
<v Speaker 1>nepotistic to me. And if you're going to discuss personal conduct.

1:15:09.479 --> 1:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>You know this, just go and you can read in

1:15:12.080 --> 1:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the memoir of some young woman I think she was

1:15:14.200 --> 1:15:16.840
<v Speaker 1>nineteen the White House at the time. I won't get

1:15:16.880 --> 1:15:18.760
<v Speaker 1>into the details, but let's just say that there was

1:15:18.760 --> 1:15:25.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of lascivious and decidedly unpresidential behavior going on

1:15:25.360 --> 1:15:27.560
<v Speaker 1>in the Kennedy White House, and we just know not

1:15:27.720 --> 1:15:30.840
<v Speaker 1>even the half of it. You go back and you

1:15:30.920 --> 1:15:35.519
<v Speaker 1>look at president's past. It's just I'm not even going

1:15:35.600 --> 1:15:37.320
<v Speaker 1>with the whole Bill Clinton thing, which don't even get

1:15:37.320 --> 1:15:40.040
<v Speaker 1>me started. Right, We've we've already had this national conversation

1:15:40.760 --> 1:15:44.320
<v Speaker 1>about presidential conduct and actions. And you know what the

1:15:44.360 --> 1:15:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Democrats decided in the nineties with the media as much

1:15:49.200 --> 1:15:51.840
<v Speaker 1>of it's a saturation presence in our lives as it is,

1:15:52.040 --> 1:15:54.160
<v Speaker 1>is as long as the person's given us what we want,

1:15:54.200 --> 1:15:56.040
<v Speaker 1>we're going to support them and we don't really care.

1:15:56.760 --> 1:16:00.880
<v Speaker 1>And even up to and including clear violations of law,

1:16:00.960 --> 1:16:03.960
<v Speaker 1>which were the case with you know, Bill Clinton and

1:16:04.439 --> 1:16:07.120
<v Speaker 1>some of the other Hillary Clinton later on, but even

1:16:07.160 --> 1:16:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the case of clear violations of law. So we've already

1:16:09.880 --> 1:16:12.200
<v Speaker 1>had this conversation. I just I think it's interesting that

1:16:13.000 --> 1:16:17.360
<v Speaker 1>the standard that Mitt Romney's sites isn't even really the

1:16:17.479 --> 1:16:22.240
<v Speaker 1>standard sounding presidential What does that mean? Mit Romney's editorial

1:16:22.640 --> 1:16:24.519
<v Speaker 1>that he wrote in the Washington Post did not give

1:16:24.600 --> 1:16:29.519
<v Speaker 1>me a single takeaway for what a person should do

1:16:30.280 --> 1:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>in a tough policy decision or on a tough policy issue.

1:16:33.800 --> 1:16:35.479
<v Speaker 1>There was nothing other than just you know, view of

1:16:35.560 --> 1:16:37.680
<v Speaker 1>our allies. And you know that I know that it

1:16:37.800 --> 1:16:40.640
<v Speaker 1>was the most boiler plate. I felt like I was

1:16:40.720 --> 1:16:43.439
<v Speaker 1>reading a high school valedictorian speech where at the end

1:16:43.479 --> 1:16:47.599
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna say, so, we need to seize the future. Thanks, Mitt,

1:16:48.479 --> 1:16:50.799
<v Speaker 1>will be sure that we focus on seizing the future.

1:16:51.080 --> 1:16:54.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, Carpay, DM will seize the day. Whatever. I

1:16:54.960 --> 1:16:57.800
<v Speaker 1>think it's I think it's nonsense. And this idea that

1:16:57.840 --> 1:17:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump hasn't risen the occasion, I sit here. I sit

1:17:01.120 --> 1:17:05.760
<v Speaker 1>here as somebody who was a Trump voter but definitely

1:17:06.960 --> 1:17:11.719
<v Speaker 1>little skeptical of how this would go. And if nothing else,

1:17:12.040 --> 1:17:16.120
<v Speaker 1>you've got to give this guy credit for withstanding the

1:17:16.560 --> 1:17:18.920
<v Speaker 1>withering assault on him from the media. I mean, the

1:17:19.040 --> 1:17:24.000
<v Speaker 1>media is psychotically anti Trump. They embarrassed themselves with their

1:17:24.040 --> 1:17:27.960
<v Speaker 1>anti trumpism, and we just assumed that, oh, well, you know,

1:17:28.000 --> 1:17:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Trump could handle it because anybody would handle. That's not

1:17:30.920 --> 1:17:36.920
<v Speaker 1>true if you put a standard issue GOP establishment guy

1:17:37.200 --> 1:17:40.839
<v Speaker 1>in the Oval office, who was the one who stopped Hillary,

1:17:41.000 --> 1:17:43.519
<v Speaker 1>who stopped the Great Glass ceiling from being shattered and

1:17:43.560 --> 1:17:46.560
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff, and was subject to the kind of

1:17:47.360 --> 1:17:52.160
<v Speaker 1>just lunacy. You know, he's a conspiracy with Russia. He's

1:17:52.160 --> 1:17:55.200
<v Speaker 1>a racist, he's a criminal, he's a trader, he's you know,

1:17:55.479 --> 1:17:59.240
<v Speaker 1>you've got former heads of intel agencies calling this sitting

1:17:59.280 --> 1:18:04.760
<v Speaker 1>president United States somebody who's committed treason. You know, if

1:18:04.760 --> 1:18:06.960
<v Speaker 1>we're really going to keep score and look at what

1:18:07.360 --> 1:18:11.559
<v Speaker 1>has done with it's risen the occasion. This guy's tenacity. Mean,

1:18:11.680 --> 1:18:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump's ability to take the heat is phenomenal. I

1:18:18.280 --> 1:18:20.479
<v Speaker 1>mean it's in the sense of it's a real he's

1:18:20.520 --> 1:18:24.479
<v Speaker 1>a phenom. It is not normal. This would break other people.

1:18:24.880 --> 1:18:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know it. Bush by the end of

1:18:26.680 --> 1:18:28.960
<v Speaker 1>his presidency, just from all the media criticism and the

1:18:29.080 --> 1:18:32.360
<v Speaker 1>rock War stuff. I mean, he was he was operating

1:18:32.439 --> 1:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>on fumes. And I don't mean the last six months,

1:18:35.120 --> 1:18:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean the last four years and not have a

1:18:37.920 --> 1:18:42.320
<v Speaker 1>lot left in the tank. And he wasn't subjected to

1:18:42.520 --> 1:18:44.560
<v Speaker 1>quite the same it was. It was bad, and you know,

1:18:44.600 --> 1:18:48.759
<v Speaker 1>I think we easily forget about how much we heard

1:18:49.200 --> 1:18:51.600
<v Speaker 1>that Republicans were Nazis even in the Bush era, and

1:18:51.680 --> 1:18:54.519
<v Speaker 1>that you know, Republicans were you know, war criminals in

1:18:54.560 --> 1:18:56.400
<v Speaker 1>the Bush era. You know, now it's just nothing new.

1:18:56.520 --> 1:18:59.479
<v Speaker 1>Every every Republican president is going to be accused by

1:18:59.479 --> 1:19:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the media of having cheated in the election. Somehow every

1:19:02.240 --> 1:19:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Republican president's a legitimate I mean, this is nothing new.

1:19:05.640 --> 1:19:08.000
<v Speaker 1>This is the new standard that the left wing loons

1:19:09.120 --> 1:19:12.439
<v Speaker 1>are are asserting, or at least we can see in

1:19:12.479 --> 1:19:16.360
<v Speaker 1>them asserting it. Anyway, back to Actor Romney here for

1:19:16.400 --> 1:19:21.720
<v Speaker 1>a second, then, I feel like he he seems to

1:19:21.800 --> 1:19:24.040
<v Speaker 1>think that what he did had to be done, that

1:19:24.200 --> 1:19:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Romney had to write this op ed and had to

1:19:27.760 --> 1:19:31.560
<v Speaker 1>trash the president after, as I mentioned yesterday, seeking his

1:19:31.720 --> 1:19:34.600
<v Speaker 1>endorsement asking him to be Secretary of State. You know

1:19:35.040 --> 1:19:38.040
<v Speaker 1>it when it benefits Romney. He's all about Trump. So

1:19:38.200 --> 1:19:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that makes it really hard to take this

1:19:40.120 --> 1:19:43.040
<v Speaker 1>guy seriously when he wants to be the one speaking

1:19:43.080 --> 1:19:46.599
<v Speaker 1>truth to power about Trump and now he says, well,

1:19:46.640 --> 1:19:48.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're going to have a good relationship. Play eight.

1:19:49.040 --> 1:19:51.439
<v Speaker 1>I continued to point out places where we're different and

1:19:51.520 --> 1:19:54.920
<v Speaker 1>That's the great nature of this representative democracy, which is

1:19:54.960 --> 1:19:58.000
<v Speaker 1>where we agree, we come together. Where there are disagreements,

1:19:58.360 --> 1:20:01.519
<v Speaker 1>we express those openly and honestly. That allows people to

1:20:01.600 --> 1:20:03.760
<v Speaker 1>have trust in one another. And I look forward to

1:20:03.880 --> 1:20:06.400
<v Speaker 1>being able to have a trusting relationship with the president

1:20:06.439 --> 1:20:11.320
<v Speaker 1>and with others, despite differences from time to time. You know,

1:20:11.640 --> 1:20:15.759
<v Speaker 1>I think it's hard to have a trusting relationship where somebody,

1:20:16.720 --> 1:20:23.200
<v Speaker 1>in a really unprovoked an unproductive fashion, goes after your

1:20:23.400 --> 1:20:26.799
<v Speaker 1>character so publicly. And I don't think that we needed

1:20:26.880 --> 1:20:31.400
<v Speaker 1>a lecture on presidential decorum from failed candidate Mitt Romney.

1:20:31.560 --> 1:20:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I really don't, and I can't help but notice that,

1:20:34.240 --> 1:20:37.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, you look back at the pre Trump GOP

1:20:38.400 --> 1:20:45.120
<v Speaker 1>offerings for the presidency, and you've got You've got Romney,

1:20:45.479 --> 1:20:50.839
<v Speaker 1>and before that, you've got McCain, two people who perhaps

1:20:51.240 --> 1:20:55.040
<v Speaker 1>in fashion only rivaled by like John Kasik and maybe

1:20:55.120 --> 1:20:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Flake, or two people who are really fair weather Republicans,

1:21:00.720 --> 1:21:05.960
<v Speaker 1>not Republicans when it counts at all, not conservatives not

1:21:06.600 --> 1:21:09.160
<v Speaker 1>supporting GOP in order to get things done, but are

1:21:09.280 --> 1:21:13.160
<v Speaker 1>much more concerned with their own quests for personal political glory.

1:21:14.560 --> 1:21:16.880
<v Speaker 1>It says a lot think about that before Trump. We

1:21:16.960 --> 1:21:22.519
<v Speaker 1>had Romney and McCain, and these are those are both people.

1:21:22.600 --> 1:21:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously McCain's passed away, but these are both

1:21:25.040 --> 1:21:28.400
<v Speaker 1>people who went after went after Trump with everything they have,

1:21:29.160 --> 1:21:31.599
<v Speaker 1>and I just would i'd feel a little bit more

1:21:31.720 --> 1:21:36.919
<v Speaker 1>comfortable with their criticisms, although I will disagree with them regardless,

1:21:36.920 --> 1:21:38.400
<v Speaker 1>but I feel a little uncomfortable. I felt like there

1:21:38.479 --> 1:21:47.000
<v Speaker 1>was just some introspection, some willingness to just dive into

1:21:47.120 --> 1:21:49.160
<v Speaker 1>why is it that that Trump was it? Why did

1:21:49.200 --> 1:21:52.679
<v Speaker 1>Trump win? It's not because of Russia. Only idiots think that, Okay,

1:21:52.720 --> 1:21:55.040
<v Speaker 1>it's not because of Russia. Why did Trump win? What

1:21:55.200 --> 1:21:57.880
<v Speaker 1>did he tap into? It's not xenophobia or racism either.

1:21:57.880 --> 1:22:00.439
<v Speaker 1>You get a lot of previous Obama voters who voted

1:22:00.479 --> 1:22:04.120
<v Speaker 1>for Trump. What is it? Well, there's something at the

1:22:04.320 --> 1:22:09.439
<v Speaker 1>core of American cultural and political life right now that

1:22:09.680 --> 1:22:14.560
<v Speaker 1>feels rotten, and if nothing else, Trump is willing to

1:22:14.800 --> 1:22:20.000
<v Speaker 1>speak about that and willing to call out the system

1:22:20.200 --> 1:22:24.880
<v Speaker 1>and it's inequities, the unfairness that exists within our system,

1:22:24.920 --> 1:22:28.439
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of the GOP elite, a lot of

1:22:28.439 --> 1:22:32.439
<v Speaker 1>the GOP establishment, you know, wants to just tell us all,

1:22:32.479 --> 1:22:34.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, just look at Milton Friedman. You know, open markets,

1:22:34.640 --> 1:22:39.080
<v Speaker 1>free trade, everything's great. You know, no, everything is not great.

1:22:39.360 --> 1:22:42.559
<v Speaker 1>Everything is not fair. The market is not just speaking

1:22:42.640 --> 1:22:45.719
<v Speaker 1>all the time. In fact, there's a lot of self

1:22:45.880 --> 1:22:50.360
<v Speaker 1>dealing and self interest that's driving these decisions by government.

1:22:50.439 --> 1:22:53.920
<v Speaker 1>So at least Trump says it's a swamp and it's gross.

1:22:53.960 --> 1:22:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's a start. Romney and McCain's even to

1:22:56.760 --> 1:22:58.800
<v Speaker 1>think it's all about great public service, and we know

1:22:58.960 --> 1:23:04.000

1:24:39.920 --> 1:24:43.599
<v Speaker 1>to like Warren Buffett, except not eighty and a closet liberal. Yeah,

1:24:43.640 --> 1:24:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the Oracle of New York has a nice ring to it. Yeah,

1:24:46.680 --> 1:24:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, people are saying, oh, I would

1:24:48.080 --> 1:24:49.559
<v Speaker 1>have set out on my Apple. I'm gonna sell out

1:24:49.560 --> 1:24:51.240
<v Speaker 1>of Amazon. I'm like, these are the most valuable companies

1:24:51.320 --> 1:24:53.280
<v Speaker 1>that have ever been created in the history of the world.

1:24:53.960 --> 1:24:57.439
<v Speaker 1>I think I think they're gonna be okay, Yeah, I agree. Man.

1:24:57.520 --> 1:25:00.320
<v Speaker 1>It's uh, it's easy to get rattled, you know when

1:25:00.360 --> 1:25:02.560
<v Speaker 1>you see the And one thing I had noticed was

1:25:02.560 --> 1:25:04.080
<v Speaker 1>just funny when you're watching the news all day like

1:25:04.200 --> 1:25:07.320
<v Speaker 1>I do, is when the stock market's plummeting, you know,

1:25:07.800 --> 1:25:09.599
<v Speaker 1>the stations go hey wire and you have to dial

1:25:09.680 --> 1:25:11.240
<v Speaker 1>up there. And then at the end of the day

1:25:11.280 --> 1:25:12.720
<v Speaker 1>when it turns around, like the other day we had

1:25:12.760 --> 1:25:15.920
<v Speaker 1>with that the biggest turnaround in stock market history when

1:25:15.920 --> 1:25:17.920
<v Speaker 1>it was getting it down. That was down six hundred

1:25:17.960 --> 1:25:20.160
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, one up a thousand. Well yeah that was

1:25:20.200 --> 1:25:22.000
<v Speaker 1>like one day. Yeah, one day went up on a thousand,

1:25:22.040 --> 1:25:23.880
<v Speaker 1>but then the next day it went down I think

1:25:24.439 --> 1:25:27.200
<v Speaker 1>six hundred and finished plus two hundred's eight hundred points

1:25:27.200 --> 1:25:29.320
<v Speaker 1>swing it was the biggest swing in the history of

1:25:29.479 --> 1:25:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the stock market. And why the style When the market

1:25:32.160 --> 1:25:34.240
<v Speaker 1>was getting hammered, they're all over like, oh, it's six

1:25:34.240 --> 1:25:36.439
<v Speaker 1>down six hundred phen it's down six hundred points, But

1:25:36.439 --> 1:25:38.400
<v Speaker 1>when it fished up two hundred points, they didn't really

1:25:38.439 --> 1:25:41.240
<v Speaker 1>talk about it. I thought that was interesting, you know.

1:25:41.360 --> 1:25:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I've i guess, like in a classic you know, like

1:25:44.040 --> 1:25:47.400
<v Speaker 1>a classic almost forty conservative. I've really taken an interest

1:25:47.439 --> 1:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>in investing in more four oh one K in the

1:25:49.080 --> 1:25:51.200
<v Speaker 1>last couple of years and people listen to the show now.

1:25:51.240 --> 1:25:53.479
<v Speaker 1>I've actually even done some work with a with a

1:25:53.560 --> 1:25:56.680
<v Speaker 1>financial research group called Stansbury. Just great guys that do

1:25:56.920 --> 1:26:00.439
<v Speaker 1>do fantastic work. Um. And but you know, I'm a novice, right,

1:26:00.479 --> 1:26:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm a novice investment. This one thing that I do

1:26:02.439 --> 1:26:06.160
<v Speaker 1>know is nobody can time the market. And the way

1:26:06.280 --> 1:26:08.960
<v Speaker 1>you really hurt yourself is by trying to time the

1:26:09.040 --> 1:26:12.920
<v Speaker 1>market and selling when basically things get scary. You sell

1:26:13.360 --> 1:26:16.160
<v Speaker 1>because not only you losing, you know, you're basically selling

1:26:16.200 --> 1:26:18.240
<v Speaker 1>what it's low and buying what it's high, which is

1:26:18.439 --> 1:26:20.559
<v Speaker 1>not what you want to do. You're also paying fees,

1:26:20.600 --> 1:26:22.800
<v Speaker 1>even if they're not very big fees. And all those transactions,

1:26:22.840 --> 1:26:25.080
<v Speaker 1>so I can give that little bit of I've picked

1:26:25.120 --> 1:26:27.800
<v Speaker 1>up that bit of advice. Right. Yeah, there was a

1:26:28.360 --> 1:26:30.599
<v Speaker 1>book when I was an amateur investor. I still am

1:26:30.760 --> 1:26:32.760
<v Speaker 1>very amateur, but one of the books I read back

1:26:32.800 --> 1:26:35.559
<v Speaker 1>in the day was a book by a guy named

1:26:35.760 --> 1:26:38.120
<v Speaker 1>doctor Jeremy Siegel who taught to the University of Pennsylvania

1:26:38.200 --> 1:26:40.040
<v Speaker 1>called Stocks for the Long Run. And it was just

1:26:40.200 --> 1:26:43.479
<v Speaker 1>like that title always just stuck out to me, because

1:26:43.760 --> 1:26:45.880
<v Speaker 1>you get in, you just got to stay in. I mean,

1:26:46.320 --> 1:26:49.000
<v Speaker 1>go with like what you like and invest in the

1:26:49.080 --> 1:26:50.720
<v Speaker 1>companies want to invest in, but don't do it for

1:26:50.800 --> 1:26:56.479
<v Speaker 1>a short term. And that's basically you know, there's a couple. Yeah,

1:26:57.000 --> 1:26:58.640
<v Speaker 1>this is what I was telling everybody that you know,

1:26:58.760 --> 1:27:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Producer Minke and I talk about out. We talked about

1:27:01.000 --> 1:27:03.960
<v Speaker 1>our portfolio sometimes in the breaks between. And for those

1:27:03.960 --> 1:27:05.320
<v Speaker 1>of you are like, oh, buck, I don't care about

1:27:05.320 --> 1:27:08.240
<v Speaker 1>stock investing, well, you know, the stock market is first

1:27:08.280 --> 1:27:11.639
<v Speaker 1>of all, it's necessary to keep all of our pension

1:27:11.760 --> 1:27:14.479
<v Speaker 1>plans going. And you know, the stock market is not

1:27:14.600 --> 1:27:16.640
<v Speaker 1>just for people that that are trying to you know,

1:27:16.800 --> 1:27:19.559
<v Speaker 1>grow grow their own personal wealth over time. There are

1:27:19.680 --> 1:27:23.000
<v Speaker 1>real important tie ins to to the economy and ways

1:27:23.000 --> 1:27:25.519
<v Speaker 1>that affect pretty much everybody. You're four one k obviously,

1:27:25.680 --> 1:27:28.040
<v Speaker 1>but even if you have a pension plan, the stock

1:27:28.120 --> 1:27:30.160
<v Speaker 1>market plays a big role in it because those pension

1:27:30.200 --> 1:27:32.439
<v Speaker 1>plans at the state level, a lot of them rely

1:27:32.640 --> 1:27:38.280
<v Speaker 1>on five six percent annualized growth, which a lot you know,

1:27:38.400 --> 1:27:40.439
<v Speaker 1>you look at a year like last year, they didn't

1:27:40.479 --> 1:27:42.400
<v Speaker 1>hit their five percent growth marks, I'm sure on a

1:27:42.439 --> 1:27:45.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of major funds. So you know, I think it's

1:27:45.320 --> 1:27:47.160
<v Speaker 1>important for people to pay some attention to it. But

1:27:47.479 --> 1:27:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm just you know, trying to trying to learn

1:27:50.040 --> 1:27:52.280
<v Speaker 1>as I go here, and I just feel like a

1:27:52.400 --> 1:27:54.400
<v Speaker 1>couple a couple of things that I tell myself to

1:27:54.479 --> 1:27:56.439
<v Speaker 1>make myself feel a little better. One is, if you

1:27:56.520 --> 1:27:59.400
<v Speaker 1>look at the Dow Jones going all the way back

1:27:59.520 --> 1:28:02.760
<v Speaker 1>to nineteen seventy eight, I think, which is when it

1:28:03.160 --> 1:28:06.639
<v Speaker 1>they started tracking it, um, there is a very clear trend,

1:28:06.720 --> 1:28:09.639
<v Speaker 1>and that is that over time, it goes up. Over time,

1:28:09.720 --> 1:28:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the US stock market is getting wealthier and wealthier. And

1:28:13.520 --> 1:28:15.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, so if you to your point, Mike, if

1:28:15.840 --> 1:28:19.280
<v Speaker 1>you take that long term view, uh, you're gonna be

1:28:19.360 --> 1:28:21.800
<v Speaker 1>in better shape than if you're trying to essentially day trade,

1:28:21.880 --> 1:28:23.959
<v Speaker 1>which is not a good idea. I do not recommend

1:28:24.000 --> 1:28:27.280
<v Speaker 1>that for folks, right, yeah, And I think you know,

1:28:28.880 --> 1:28:30.960
<v Speaker 1>we've had these interest rate hikes also, which are you

1:28:31.040 --> 1:28:32.920
<v Speaker 1>know that didn't happen during the Bomb administration. There was

1:28:32.960 --> 1:28:34.760
<v Speaker 1>no interest rate hikes. And we've had a few, which

1:28:34.840 --> 1:28:36.840
<v Speaker 1>is fine, which is good. And I think once we

1:28:37.000 --> 1:28:39.360
<v Speaker 1>were you know, once the market adjust to the hikes,

1:28:39.760 --> 1:28:42.439
<v Speaker 1>I think and by end of the first quarter twenty nineteen,

1:28:42.439 --> 1:28:44.040
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna forget all about this because it's going to

1:28:44.080 --> 1:28:48.439
<v Speaker 1>be back to running wild again. Yeah. Yeah, I think

1:28:48.439 --> 1:28:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a good things are gonna pick up,

1:28:50.040 --> 1:28:51.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think things are gonna get better. Yeah,

1:28:51.640 --> 1:28:54.519
<v Speaker 1>I did. When When was the first I'm trying to see,

1:28:54.520 --> 1:28:58.559
<v Speaker 1>when was the first Dow Jones reading? Oh no, they

1:28:58.640 --> 1:29:01.000
<v Speaker 1>have here Dow Jones and average goes all the way

1:29:01.000 --> 1:29:04.240
<v Speaker 1>back to eighteen ninety six. What I thought they didn't

1:29:04.240 --> 1:29:07.519
<v Speaker 1>start reading this? Uh oh maybe anyway, I think they've

1:29:07.600 --> 1:29:10.439
<v Speaker 1>changed the indicase do the folks. This is where I'm

1:29:10.479 --> 1:29:12.280
<v Speaker 1>getting beyond my you know, this is where I say

1:29:12.280 --> 1:29:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm a novice. I'm a novice. Don't some of the

1:29:14.479 --> 1:29:16.599
<v Speaker 1>basics I'm telling you are true, but don't don't take

1:29:16.600 --> 1:29:18.240
<v Speaker 1>anything I say to the bank man, I'm trying to

1:29:18.320 --> 1:29:20.680
<v Speaker 1>learn this stuff as I go. But it's fun. I

1:29:20.760 --> 1:29:23.360
<v Speaker 1>gotta say, well, it's it's fun to be an adult

1:29:23.400 --> 1:29:25.880
<v Speaker 1>who spend a lot of time developing expertise in some

1:29:26.040 --> 1:29:28.439
<v Speaker 1>areas and show up. It's almost like I'm taking piano

1:29:28.520 --> 1:29:30.679
<v Speaker 1>lessons for the first time. I'm like, huh, like someone

1:29:30.800 --> 1:29:33.400
<v Speaker 1>explained to me ebitda. You know, it's a different a

1:29:33.439 --> 1:29:36.080
<v Speaker 1>different approach. Another thing though, just for since since we're

1:29:36.120 --> 1:29:38.880
<v Speaker 1>doing like bucks not so great financial or I should say,

1:29:38.920 --> 1:29:41.680
<v Speaker 1>not so expert, the advice overall is pretty good. You know.

1:29:41.840 --> 1:29:43.439
<v Speaker 1>A friend of mine told me recently. He's like, hey,

1:29:43.520 --> 1:29:45.599
<v Speaker 1>you know you gotta you know you mentioned interest rates monkey,

1:29:45.600 --> 1:29:47.120
<v Speaker 1>He's like, you got a savings account and said yeah.

1:29:47.120 --> 1:29:48.960
<v Speaker 1>He said, well what are you getting on that savings account?

1:29:49.360 --> 1:29:53.439
<v Speaker 1>I was like, uh, point zero six percent or something,

1:29:54.040 --> 1:29:56.439
<v Speaker 1>and you know, there's there are places you can go

1:29:56.640 --> 1:29:59.479
<v Speaker 1>you can get over a two percent return, which doesn't

1:29:59.479 --> 1:30:02.439
<v Speaker 1>sound like a big deal, but it's actually nice. It

1:30:02.560 --> 1:30:06.080
<v Speaker 1>actually makes a difference. Yeah, well, I'll book a financial

1:30:06.160 --> 1:30:08.080
<v Speaker 1>expert and we could tell him, you know, our thoughts

1:30:08.120 --> 1:30:09.400
<v Speaker 1>on what the market is, and he'd be like, all right,

1:30:09.400 --> 1:30:13.120
<v Speaker 1>you guys aren't funny. He get a laugh at it.

1:30:14.040 --> 1:30:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Don't listen to Buck. Yeah, I should stick to politics

1:30:16.960 --> 1:30:19.160
<v Speaker 1>in natural security. That's really that's really the the end

1:30:19.200 --> 1:30:21.599
<v Speaker 1>state of this conversation. But anyway, I just brought Mike

1:30:21.640 --> 1:30:23.160
<v Speaker 1>on everybody because I want him to make me feel

1:30:23.200 --> 1:30:27.639
<v Speaker 1>better about the Amazon and Facebook stock I own, because wow,

1:30:27.840 --> 1:30:30.960
<v Speaker 1>they have been getting don't look, this is gonna be

1:30:31.120 --> 1:30:33.760
<v Speaker 1>on I will yet, don't sweat it. You know what

1:30:33.800 --> 1:30:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I actually say on a political side on Amy, you

1:30:36.960 --> 1:30:39.559
<v Speaker 1>just mentioned Amazon. It's funny. I just read an article.

1:30:39.640 --> 1:30:42.160
<v Speaker 1>There's a there's a few people I forget to where

1:30:42.200 --> 1:30:44.919
<v Speaker 1>the guy's from might have been Barrens. He predicted Amazon

1:30:44.960 --> 1:30:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Amazon sitting around fifteen hundred dollars a share right now.

1:30:47.640 --> 1:30:49.679
<v Speaker 1>It was it's high in twenty eighteen, was a little

1:30:49.680 --> 1:30:51.960
<v Speaker 1>over two thousand dollars a share. He was predicting four

1:30:52.080 --> 1:30:58.240
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars a share by ends of twenty nineteen. So wow, yeah, wow,

1:30:58.320 --> 1:31:00.400
<v Speaker 1>he was a little bit off bullish. No end of

1:31:00.400 --> 1:31:04.439
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen, he's by end of twenty nineteen. Oh okay,

1:31:04.600 --> 1:31:06.960
<v Speaker 1>so he's got we got time, We got time by

1:31:07.040 --> 1:31:08.479
<v Speaker 1>end of next year. He thinks it's kind of double

1:31:09.880 --> 1:31:11.320
<v Speaker 1>you know what this, but you know what the other

1:31:11.640 --> 1:31:13.439
<v Speaker 1>there was more bad news today, Mike, and this is

1:31:13.479 --> 1:31:15.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna be near and dear to your heart. You probably

1:31:15.360 --> 1:31:16.920
<v Speaker 1>haven't even seen this yet, so I'm sorry to be

1:31:17.000 --> 1:31:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the one to break this to you. But according to

1:31:20.840 --> 1:31:25.120
<v Speaker 1>according Drudge Report, here Israeli model bar Raffaelli is facing

1:31:25.240 --> 1:31:28.880
<v Speaker 1>criminal charges for tax evasion and perjury. You know, free,

1:31:29.000 --> 1:31:31.040
<v Speaker 1>free bar Raffaelli is all I can say. So that's

1:31:31.080 --> 1:31:34.840
<v Speaker 1>why she hasn't called me back exactly. I gotta tell you,

1:31:34.840 --> 1:31:36.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm a fan and I'm glad she got rid of

1:31:36.600 --> 1:31:41.439
<v Speaker 1>that bumm DiCaprio. Yeah, he's a tool, so there you go. Yeah,

1:31:41.760 --> 1:31:45.439
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately a very rich one. But yes, remember anyway, bucking

1:31:45.680 --> 1:31:49.240
<v Speaker 1>bucking producer Mike's financial corner. Everybody, do not make any

1:31:49.320 --> 1:31:53.200
<v Speaker 1>decisions based on anything leaves. I just wanted to want

1:31:53.200 --> 1:31:54.800
<v Speaker 1>to vent a little bit on this one. I am

1:31:54.840 --> 1:31:56.519
<v Speaker 1>going to come back and get into some try to

1:31:56.560 --> 1:31:59.280
<v Speaker 1>do some role call here and that's going to be

1:31:59.360 --> 1:32:01.400
<v Speaker 1>fun because it's always fun. So stick around for that

1:32:01.600 --> 1:32:03.840
<v Speaker 1>and Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton if you want

1:32:03.880 --> 1:32:23.839
<v Speaker 1>to send thoughts coming up, team, It's time for roll call. Indeed,

1:32:23.960 --> 1:32:27.040
<v Speaker 1>another day in the life of mister buck Sexton here

1:32:27.120 --> 1:32:29.720
<v Speaker 1>in DC. Thank you so much all for hanging out.

1:32:29.760 --> 1:32:31.720
<v Speaker 1>I hope you're hope you're as happy to be back

1:32:31.760 --> 1:32:33.600
<v Speaker 1>in the Hut as I am. I missed it. This

1:32:33.720 --> 1:32:36.519
<v Speaker 1>is the problem I have with vacations is that vacation

1:32:36.680 --> 1:32:40.080
<v Speaker 1>is really not something that I can fully enjoy. Knowing

1:32:40.200 --> 1:32:43.240
<v Speaker 1>that every day that I'm out three days I can

1:32:43.280 --> 1:32:44.840
<v Speaker 1>handle pretty well. I can be out for three days,

1:32:44.880 --> 1:32:47.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe four. Once I get beyond that, I start to say,

1:32:47.200 --> 1:32:50.240
<v Speaker 1>how I wonder, I wonder how the team's doing, you know,

1:32:50.280 --> 1:32:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if if everybody's okay, you know, across the country,

1:32:53.120 --> 1:32:56.360
<v Speaker 1>if everyone's you know, just making sure they're eating all

1:32:56.360 --> 1:33:00.720
<v Speaker 1>their veggies and you know, spreading freedom, And I start

1:33:00.800 --> 1:33:03.439
<v Speaker 1>to want My mind wanders back to that. So I

1:33:03.720 --> 1:33:07.960
<v Speaker 1>can't really enjoy my mescal on the rocks and my

1:33:08.040 --> 1:33:10.240
<v Speaker 1>beach time, which, by the way, I'm in desperate need

1:33:10.280 --> 1:33:11.840
<v Speaker 1>of those two things, because I have not done that

1:33:11.920 --> 1:33:14.160
<v Speaker 1>in quite a while. This year, I just stayed in

1:33:14.200 --> 1:33:17.919
<v Speaker 1>the DC area. I really just was in on sleep patrol,

1:33:18.720 --> 1:33:20.680
<v Speaker 1>which I know that's that's a boring story for me

1:33:20.760 --> 1:33:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to tell you. So I'm not going to do that.

1:33:21.960 --> 1:33:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's get right to it. Let's get to it here. Oh,

1:33:28.000 --> 1:33:33.040
<v Speaker 1>hold on a second. Here we got a message from Wow,

1:33:33.080 --> 1:33:39.840
<v Speaker 1>this is interesting interesting. This is from Fox News, and

1:33:40.240 --> 1:33:42.519
<v Speaker 1>this is from I'm sorry, this is from Michael Rather,

1:33:43.240 --> 1:33:45.360
<v Speaker 1>but he's sending me a Fox News. I'm just seeing

1:33:45.400 --> 1:33:47.960
<v Speaker 1>this now. Apparently I made it onto their website, he says,

1:33:48.000 --> 1:33:51.599
<v Speaker 1>bub you're really chopping in tall cotton. Now Fox News

1:33:51.680 --> 1:33:56.479
<v Speaker 1>just assumes people know who you are. And there's Sexton,

1:33:56.720 --> 1:34:00.960
<v Speaker 1>no Trump arrangement syndrome limits. There we go. I made

1:34:01.000 --> 1:34:02.880
<v Speaker 1>it onto the front of the Fox News website for

1:34:03.040 --> 1:34:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I suppose that was for out Was that for outnumbered?

1:34:06.720 --> 1:34:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Or when when did I say that? Well, anyway, Michael,

1:34:08.960 --> 1:34:10.519
<v Speaker 1>thank you for bringing in my attention. I don't even

1:34:10.520 --> 1:34:12.400
<v Speaker 1>know I made it on the foxnews dot com website,

1:34:12.400 --> 1:34:15.160
<v Speaker 1>but there you go. That's kind of fun. Yeah, that's

1:34:15.200 --> 1:34:16.719
<v Speaker 1>one of the That's one of those things that always

1:34:16.760 --> 1:34:21.160
<v Speaker 1>annoys me is depending on the outlet that writes about you. Obviously,

1:34:21.240 --> 1:34:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Foxes that's that's my Even though I'm technically not a

1:34:24.800 --> 1:34:28.000
<v Speaker 1>member of the family, I consider Fox my family. Have

1:34:28.120 --> 1:34:30.040
<v Speaker 1>tons of friends over there. I do obviously a lot

1:34:30.080 --> 1:34:33.680
<v Speaker 1>of shows and just very fond of the people who

1:34:33.720 --> 1:34:37.000
<v Speaker 1>work at the network and obviously agree with what they're

1:34:37.160 --> 1:34:41.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to do every day. But other places, you know, Mediaite,

1:34:41.640 --> 1:34:46.200
<v Speaker 1>which is a kind of trade publication online for people

1:34:46.240 --> 1:34:48.519
<v Speaker 1>that work in the media. You know, whether they call

1:34:48.600 --> 1:34:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you conservative analyst or by your name is depends on

1:34:52.840 --> 1:34:54.720
<v Speaker 1>who the writer is there. And it's always a little

1:34:54.760 --> 1:34:57.519
<v Speaker 1>it's a little slight. You get very used to slights

1:34:57.640 --> 1:35:00.719
<v Speaker 1>in this business. You know, people kind of people spitting

1:35:00.760 --> 1:35:03.080
<v Speaker 1>in your petunias, if you know what I mean. Actually,

1:35:03.120 --> 1:35:04.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know what I mean. I don't even

1:35:04.479 --> 1:35:07.880
<v Speaker 1>know if that made sense. James, same first name that

1:35:07.960 --> 1:35:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I have rights buck you sound you used a sound

1:35:11.280 --> 1:35:13.760
<v Speaker 1>by at the start of yesterday's podcast about how the

1:35:13.920 --> 1:35:16.519
<v Speaker 1>cost of the wall would be offset by savings in

1:35:16.600 --> 1:35:20.519
<v Speaker 1>detention and processing. Can you point to the source someone

1:35:20.720 --> 1:35:25.400
<v Speaker 1>is challenging me where I heard it? Thanks? That was

1:35:27.040 --> 1:35:32.479
<v Speaker 1>that was Tom Hohman, who was the former former acting

1:35:32.640 --> 1:35:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Director of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. I think he was

1:35:35.280 --> 1:35:37.200
<v Speaker 1>saying that on Fox News, but that was Tom Hohman.

1:35:38.120 --> 1:35:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I you know, so if you look up Tom Holman

1:35:40.400 --> 1:35:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and that sound by or that quote, you should be

1:35:43.040 --> 1:35:48.519
<v Speaker 1>able to pull it out pretty easily. Amy, rights, Oh buck,

1:35:48.960 --> 1:35:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I am so angry about Mitt Romney. He swept into

1:35:52.000 --> 1:35:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Utah with his billions and the establishments millions and edged

1:35:55.200 --> 1:35:57.880
<v Speaker 1>out any conservative that might stand a chance. For the

1:35:57.920 --> 1:36:00.840
<v Speaker 1>first time ever, in twenty sixteen, I voted straight Republican ticket,

1:36:00.920 --> 1:36:03.640
<v Speaker 1>knowing that Mitt was my only option. I figured it

1:36:03.720 --> 1:36:05.720
<v Speaker 1>was better to get him than hand the Senate to

1:36:05.760 --> 1:36:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats. I will say, however, in Utah's favor, that

1:36:09.680 --> 1:36:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the state punishes our rhinos. I helped me a love

1:36:12.720 --> 1:36:15.240
<v Speaker 1>get elected to my district, and I joined my district

1:36:15.320 --> 1:36:18.360
<v Speaker 1>in speaking out against her when she voted with Bayner

1:36:18.439 --> 1:36:21.040
<v Speaker 1>instead of the district. Please notice that she lost in

1:36:21.120 --> 1:36:24.439
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen. People were and are still mad at her

1:36:24.479 --> 1:36:26.639
<v Speaker 1>for doing a belly flop into the swamp waters of DC.

1:36:26.840 --> 1:36:29.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, I love my belly flop analogies. I expect

1:36:29.800 --> 1:36:32.479
<v Speaker 1>Mitt will not only will not serve another term as

1:36:32.520 --> 1:36:35.599
<v Speaker 1>our senator. Heck, maybe we can even recall him. Amy.

1:36:36.080 --> 1:36:39.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, Mit, for me was It's not just that

1:36:40.000 --> 1:36:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I disagree with a lot of what he says in

1:36:43.080 --> 1:36:46.479
<v Speaker 1>that editorial or particularly on the foreign policy side. I

1:36:46.520 --> 1:36:49.280
<v Speaker 1>mean to act like the establishment is how the answers

1:36:49.320 --> 1:36:53.320
<v Speaker 1>on foreign policy in recent years is to really allow

1:36:53.400 --> 1:36:59.160
<v Speaker 1>yourself into a delusion. The establishment has made horrible errors

1:36:59.360 --> 1:37:01.800
<v Speaker 1>strategic and I don't mean errors that nobody could have

1:37:01.880 --> 1:37:05.000
<v Speaker 1>seen him coming. I mean errors that history tells us.

1:37:05.160 --> 1:37:07.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, you can go back this guy, Mike Schoyer,

1:37:07.200 --> 1:37:10.400
<v Speaker 1>who's kind of fallen off the fallen off the radar.

1:37:10.400 --> 1:37:12.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what really happened to him, but you know,

1:37:12.560 --> 1:37:16.240
<v Speaker 1>he was a very outside the box thinker and was

1:37:16.360 --> 1:37:21.559
<v Speaker 1>formerly a CIA analyst who was running what became essentially

1:37:21.600 --> 1:37:23.720
<v Speaker 1>the bin Laden Unit at the at the agency. And

1:37:23.800 --> 1:37:27.200
<v Speaker 1>he wrote this book. He wrote this book that went

1:37:27.280 --> 1:37:32.840
<v Speaker 1>into how you know, we should know everything we need

1:37:32.960 --> 1:37:38.280
<v Speaker 1>to know about The book is called Imperial Hubris, Why

1:37:38.439 --> 1:37:42.240
<v Speaker 1>the West is Losing the War on Terror. And yeah,

1:37:42.320 --> 1:37:44.479
<v Speaker 1>Michael Schuyer, I mean I read that book before I

1:37:44.600 --> 1:37:46.599
<v Speaker 1>was told to read that book before I went into

1:37:46.640 --> 1:37:49.600
<v Speaker 1>the CIA by people in the CIA who are like,

1:37:49.680 --> 1:37:52.280
<v Speaker 1>you need to read this book. And and Mike was right,

1:37:52.360 --> 1:37:54.080
<v Speaker 1>He's like, we're gonna go in there, we're gonna think

1:37:54.120 --> 1:37:57.120
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be different, and it's not going to be different.

1:37:57.600 --> 1:38:00.639
<v Speaker 1>So don't let the don't let the foreign policy elites,

1:38:01.280 --> 1:38:03.000
<v Speaker 1>such as they are. And look when I say that,

1:38:03.840 --> 1:38:05.920
<v Speaker 1>there's no easy way to have these conversations. You know,

1:38:06.040 --> 1:38:09.200
<v Speaker 1>do I think you know, is somebody like my friend

1:38:09.439 --> 1:38:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Jim Carafano over at the Heritage Foundation. Is he in

1:38:12.479 --> 1:38:15.320
<v Speaker 1>an elite in a sense because he's got an not

1:38:15.360 --> 1:38:18.639
<v Speaker 1>only military service, but decades of expertise in foreign policy. Yeah.

1:38:19.040 --> 1:38:22.000
<v Speaker 1>But so you know, just because you're in the foreign

1:38:22.040 --> 1:38:24.400
<v Speaker 1>policy establishment doesn't mean that you're not somebody who I

1:38:24.520 --> 1:38:26.640
<v Speaker 1>think is really worthwhile and has a lot of good

1:38:26.680 --> 1:38:31.560
<v Speaker 1>things to say on these issues. But in general, the

1:38:31.840 --> 1:38:35.040
<v Speaker 1>foreign policy establishment I think has been very, very wrong.

1:38:35.720 --> 1:38:38.839
<v Speaker 1>And Imperial Huberts is a good book. I mean, Shower

1:38:39.320 --> 1:38:43.000
<v Speaker 1>he burned some butts at over at Langley with this one.

1:38:43.040 --> 1:38:45.160
<v Speaker 1>They did not, And it wasn't just Langley, I mean

1:38:45.160 --> 1:38:49.759
<v Speaker 1>it was really the the overall the administration and everybody

1:38:49.800 --> 1:38:54.719
<v Speaker 1>who was working on Afghan policy was really ticked off

1:38:54.880 --> 1:38:58.280
<v Speaker 1>about this. So but back to Romney. Sorry, that got

1:38:58.320 --> 1:38:59.599
<v Speaker 1>me on a little bit of of a rant there.

1:38:59.640 --> 1:39:03.839
<v Speaker 1>Back to Romney for a second. You know, he's allowing

1:39:03.960 --> 1:39:08.759
<v Speaker 1>himself to be used by the other side. He's allowing

1:39:09.400 --> 1:39:12.960
<v Speaker 1>what he says to be a weapon against whether he's

1:39:13.000 --> 1:39:15.760
<v Speaker 1>willing to accept this or not, the very policies and

1:39:16.040 --> 1:39:21.280
<v Speaker 1>ideas that he claims that he's all for. So what

1:39:21.439 --> 1:39:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean by this is, you know, he went on

1:39:24.360 --> 1:39:27.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, Jake Tapper's show, and those who listen to

1:39:27.240 --> 1:39:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the show know that I'm not a fan of Tapper's

1:39:29.000 --> 1:39:34.000
<v Speaker 1>work or Tapper, but you know, he went on Tapper's show,

1:39:34.560 --> 1:39:37.320
<v Speaker 1>and they're just giving him this platform, putting him on

1:39:37.360 --> 1:39:41.160
<v Speaker 1>these Sunday shows and elevating him in this moment to

1:39:41.520 --> 1:39:45.439
<v Speaker 1>trash Trump and the right with him, because remember Trump

1:39:45.640 --> 1:39:48.080
<v Speaker 1>is the de facto leader of the Republican Party right now.

1:39:48.920 --> 1:39:52.680
<v Speaker 1>And so if you're somebody who really cares about just

1:39:52.800 --> 1:39:58.120
<v Speaker 1>go down the list, secure boarders, rule of law, supporting life,

1:39:58.840 --> 1:40:01.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, being being pro life support, and just go

1:40:01.560 --> 1:40:03.880
<v Speaker 1>down to all the you know, limited government, although we

1:40:03.880 --> 1:40:05.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't really talk about that anymore. You know, that'sn't even

1:40:05.960 --> 1:40:09.559
<v Speaker 1>a it's a fair question what do conservatives even stand

1:40:09.640 --> 1:40:11.640
<v Speaker 1>for right now that we can all agree on. I

1:40:11.760 --> 1:40:14.840
<v Speaker 1>know what you would say, what I would say about conservatism,

1:40:14.960 --> 1:40:18.000
<v Speaker 1>but at the national level, it feels a little bit

1:40:18.080 --> 1:40:20.240
<v Speaker 1>like we're we're not concerned with the debt. We're not

1:40:20.320 --> 1:40:21.960
<v Speaker 1>concerned with the deficit. We're not you know, there's a

1:40:22.000 --> 1:40:24.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of stuff that we have. We haven't reformed entitlements,

1:40:24.600 --> 1:40:26.920
<v Speaker 1>we haven't gotten rid of Obamacare. You know, we got

1:40:26.960 --> 1:40:29.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of work to do. Sorry, I'm kind of

1:40:29.160 --> 1:40:30.800
<v Speaker 1>ending the going toward the end of the show here

1:40:30.840 --> 1:40:35.880
<v Speaker 1>on a bummer note. But Romney supposedly cares about all

1:40:35.920 --> 1:40:39.400
<v Speaker 1>those things, and he allows by going on Tapper's show

1:40:39.640 --> 1:40:44.519
<v Speaker 1>and allowing himself to be manipulated in this way. Whether

1:40:44.600 --> 1:40:47.559
<v Speaker 1>he knows it and doesn't care or just isn't savvy

1:40:47.640 --> 1:40:50.160
<v Speaker 1>enough to know it, I can't tell you how can

1:40:50.200 --> 1:40:53.080
<v Speaker 1>you claim to care about these things? You know? You

1:40:53.280 --> 1:40:56.080
<v Speaker 1>do you want conservative justices on the Supreme Court or not?

1:40:56.880 --> 1:41:01.519
<v Speaker 1>Do you want a deregulation going on at the federal

1:41:01.560 --> 1:41:04.880
<v Speaker 1>agency level or not? You know, there's a lot of

1:41:05.040 --> 1:41:08.360
<v Speaker 1>things that by taking Trump down, you're taking all that

1:41:08.600 --> 1:41:12.360
<v Speaker 1>down too. This is very you know, and I want

1:41:12.360 --> 1:41:13.800
<v Speaker 1>to be very clear because I'm hoping that all of

1:41:13.800 --> 1:41:15.759
<v Speaker 1>you're listening to this show are going to be joining

1:41:15.800 --> 1:41:18.240
<v Speaker 1>the millions of other people down the line who will

1:41:18.240 --> 1:41:21.080
<v Speaker 1>be listening to this show. And I'm going to have

1:41:21.160 --> 1:41:24.400
<v Speaker 1>to own some things later on that that I'm telling

1:41:24.479 --> 1:41:26.120
<v Speaker 1>you now, And one of them is it's going to

1:41:26.160 --> 1:41:32.960
<v Speaker 1>be very hard to attack a future Democrat administration or

1:41:33.000 --> 1:41:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Republican administration. But to attack a future administration on you know,

1:41:37.400 --> 1:41:40.000
<v Speaker 1>on issues of character, on issues of truthfulness, I mean,

1:41:40.240 --> 1:41:43.280
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna that's gonna be tough. You know, we've accepted

1:41:43.439 --> 1:41:44.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of us have I think many of you

1:41:45.000 --> 1:41:52.000
<v Speaker 1>listening a more transactional relationship with politics now than we

1:41:52.200 --> 1:41:55.280
<v Speaker 1>previously had as conservatives, meaning that Trump gets stuff for

1:41:55.520 --> 1:41:57.920
<v Speaker 1>us or is trying to get things done in a

1:41:58.040 --> 1:42:01.400
<v Speaker 1>policy level, and that's what we care about first and foremost.

1:42:01.439 --> 1:42:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Everything else is very secondary. There's there's merit to that argument,

1:42:06.240 --> 1:42:09.839
<v Speaker 1>and that's a serious argument. And I think that Romney

1:42:09.920 --> 1:42:12.200
<v Speaker 1>comes along with all this character stuff and talking about

1:42:12.240 --> 1:42:15.519
<v Speaker 1>how Trump is a bad man essentially, and you have

1:42:15.720 --> 1:42:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to look at Romney and say, are you really willing

1:42:18.920 --> 1:42:22.840
<v Speaker 1>to just give up on all the rest of the

1:42:23.120 --> 1:42:26.439
<v Speaker 1>things that you know, people like me support Trump to

1:42:26.600 --> 1:42:29.680
<v Speaker 1>try and get Do you care about borders, you care

1:42:29.720 --> 1:42:32.680
<v Speaker 1>about life? Do you care about rule of law? Do

1:42:32.760 --> 1:42:35.040
<v Speaker 1>you care about capitalism? Do you know you look at

1:42:35.520 --> 1:42:37.639
<v Speaker 1>a Democrat left is going to get scarier and scarier

1:42:37.680 --> 1:42:39.439
<v Speaker 1>over the next two years. Trust me. You know, if

1:42:39.479 --> 1:42:42.920
<v Speaker 1>you care about all those things and you're trashing Trump,

1:42:43.840 --> 1:42:46.360
<v Speaker 1>you got to ask to what end? And I think

1:42:46.439 --> 1:42:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Mitt Romney didn't ask that question nearly nearly enough. I'm sorry.

1:42:50.240 --> 1:42:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I went on a bit of a bit of a

1:42:52.000 --> 1:42:53.640
<v Speaker 1>tear there. You know what, let me I have an

1:42:53.720 --> 1:42:56.000
<v Speaker 1>undouble role call in a while. So that's actually fine.

1:42:56.080 --> 1:42:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Let me, I'm gonna hit a quick break, we'll come back.

1:42:58.120 --> 1:43:00.519
<v Speaker 1>We'll do a little more role call because I can,

1:43:00.560 --> 1:43:04.320
<v Speaker 1>because why not? And stay with me, all right? I

1:43:04.360 --> 1:43:06.200
<v Speaker 1>said I was gonna do more role call because you know,

1:43:06.320 --> 1:43:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I missed hearing from all of you. I'm also hoping

1:43:09.080 --> 1:43:13.360
<v Speaker 1>to maybe you know, I get into these these uh

1:43:14.320 --> 1:43:18.000
<v Speaker 1>cycles of thought. And that wasn't particularly artfully worded, but

1:43:18.200 --> 1:43:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I get in the zone. And you know, we don't

1:43:20.800 --> 1:43:23.000
<v Speaker 1>take as many phone calls as we used to, and

1:43:23.160 --> 1:43:25.120
<v Speaker 1>that's been pointed out by some of the year like, look, Buck,

1:43:25.320 --> 1:43:27.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't want calls all the time. You know,

1:43:27.680 --> 1:43:33.120
<v Speaker 1>it's it's generally the mark of a of somewhat lackadaisical

1:43:33.240 --> 1:43:34.960
<v Speaker 1>radio host. You just be like, all right, let's just

1:43:35.320 --> 1:43:37.439
<v Speaker 1>every day, open the lines and let like everybody else

1:43:37.479 --> 1:43:38.920
<v Speaker 1>talk for an hour, because you know, there's only so

1:43:39.000 --> 1:43:41.400
<v Speaker 1>much quality control you can do about the topics that way.

1:43:41.960 --> 1:43:43.599
<v Speaker 1>That said, I want to do more calls, So I'm

1:43:43.680 --> 1:43:46.880
<v Speaker 1>thinking about doing one night a week, and you can

1:43:47.000 --> 1:43:48.840
<v Speaker 1>let me know on Facebook if you like this idea

1:43:49.360 --> 1:43:52.479
<v Speaker 1>where I you know, the the second hour of the show,

1:43:52.680 --> 1:43:54.960
<v Speaker 1>we're just gonna we're gonna rack in stack calls. I mean,

1:43:55.040 --> 1:43:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I want, you know, I want to take a lot

1:43:56.960 --> 1:43:59.400
<v Speaker 1>of calls from Malodi. So at least that way people

1:43:59.439 --> 1:44:01.479
<v Speaker 1>always know, Hey, if there's something on Monday that I

1:44:01.560 --> 1:44:04.200
<v Speaker 1>really want to talk to, not just Buck, but everybody

1:44:04.200 --> 1:44:06.760
<v Speaker 1>about is listening across the country, I can call in

1:44:07.400 --> 1:44:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and know that, you know, if I'm willing to be

1:44:09.280 --> 1:44:11.360
<v Speaker 1>a little patient, because usually we open the lines up

1:44:11.400 --> 1:44:13.160
<v Speaker 1>that you know, it's like a Christmas tree all the

1:44:13.240 --> 1:44:15.160
<v Speaker 1>lights go off. But if you can be a little

1:44:15.200 --> 1:44:17.840
<v Speaker 1>bit patient, we'll make sure we will get you on air.

1:44:17.880 --> 1:44:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I will want to do that. I mean. Facebook has

1:44:19.400 --> 1:44:22.160
<v Speaker 1>been working great for us on this so far because

1:44:22.320 --> 1:44:24.280
<v Speaker 1>it allows people to sew easily and in their own time.

1:44:24.320 --> 1:44:27.560
<v Speaker 1>It also brings our podcast audience into the discussion in

1:44:27.640 --> 1:44:31.000
<v Speaker 1>a way that you know is nice because we have

1:44:31.120 --> 1:44:35.880
<v Speaker 1>a very shall we say, a very robust nation YU

1:44:36.320 --> 1:44:41.280
<v Speaker 1>download podcast audience, so the right in the digital and

1:44:41.360 --> 1:44:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I know I've been saying I'm gonna get an email

1:44:43.439 --> 1:44:46.280
<v Speaker 1>address set up forever, and I just you know, we

1:44:46.400 --> 1:44:50.000
<v Speaker 1>gotta do that. Producer Mike DJ John, can we make

1:44:50.040 --> 1:44:51.479
<v Speaker 1>a note. We gotta do that. We gotta get it.

1:44:51.680 --> 1:44:54.720
<v Speaker 1>We gotta get a real not like a official Team

1:44:54.800 --> 1:44:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Buck Gmail address, which just sounds like I'm trying to

1:44:58.160 --> 1:45:00.080
<v Speaker 1>get people to give you their bank information because a

1:45:00.160 --> 1:45:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Nigerian prince or something. That's not good. All right, roll call,

1:45:03.320 --> 1:45:06.400
<v Speaker 1>roll calls. Fuck Sallen tassee, I missed you guys, So

1:45:06.439 --> 1:45:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I get all I get all flustered. Rachel, let's go,

1:45:11.040 --> 1:45:12.960
<v Speaker 1>She writes, Hey, Buck, I have two thoughts for you.

1:45:13.240 --> 1:45:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Number one in regards to the rule in radio where

1:45:15.920 --> 1:45:17.320
<v Speaker 1>you have someone fill in for you so that your

1:45:17.320 --> 1:45:20.479
<v Speaker 1>audience misses you. I think that your excellent subs just

1:45:20.600 --> 1:45:23.360
<v Speaker 1>make us appreciate you even more because you care so

1:45:23.479 --> 1:45:26.200
<v Speaker 1>much about your audience to leave us in good hands. Well,

1:45:26.240 --> 1:45:29.280
<v Speaker 1>thank you, Rachel. I really appreciate that. And that's honestly

1:45:29.560 --> 1:45:31.920
<v Speaker 1>my goal, and that's what I'm trying to do that.

1:45:32.600 --> 1:45:36.080
<v Speaker 1>That's my approach to my fillins. I want you, those

1:45:36.080 --> 1:45:38.000
<v Speaker 1>of you who are used to listening to this show

1:45:38.479 --> 1:45:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Monday through Friday, or if you listen to the podcast

1:45:41.160 --> 1:45:45.120
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend, I want you to always feel like

1:45:45.240 --> 1:45:48.759
<v Speaker 1>when you're giving me your time, it's worthwhile. So I'm

1:45:48.840 --> 1:45:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting the best villains I possibly can every time.

1:45:51.439 --> 1:45:55.400
<v Speaker 1>And your feedback on fillins especially really matters, because you know,

1:45:55.680 --> 1:45:58.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm these are everybody who fills it on this show.

1:45:58.479 --> 1:46:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I know and you know I I'm friends with them

1:46:01.400 --> 1:46:03.760
<v Speaker 1>or I professionally at least have spent a lot of

1:46:03.800 --> 1:46:06.519
<v Speaker 1>time with them, So it's something to consider. You know,

1:46:06.600 --> 1:46:09.040
<v Speaker 1>one person that I'm thinking we should bring in to

1:46:09.240 --> 1:46:11.920
<v Speaker 1>a fill in would be a Sager and Jetty from

1:46:12.000 --> 1:46:14.880
<v Speaker 1>The Daily Caller. I just think he's such a good

1:46:14.920 --> 1:46:17.840
<v Speaker 1>guy and really sharp reporter. I think he's actually got

1:46:17.960 --> 1:46:21.080
<v Speaker 1>radio chops. So I'm hoping to do what I've done

1:46:21.520 --> 1:46:24.400
<v Speaker 1>for some people over at Fox News, which is start

1:46:24.520 --> 1:46:26.639
<v Speaker 1>them off in a direction their career that they hadn't

1:46:26.640 --> 1:46:29.439
<v Speaker 1>even considered before. There are a number of people who

1:46:29.520 --> 1:46:32.320
<v Speaker 1>are now Fox News correspondence and anchors who I will

1:46:32.360 --> 1:46:35.840
<v Speaker 1>have you know and the original Saturday squad. You guys

1:46:35.880 --> 1:46:38.320
<v Speaker 1>all know this, But there are people who they got

1:46:38.400 --> 1:46:41.760
<v Speaker 1>started in this business because I called them or I

1:46:41.960 --> 1:46:45.519
<v Speaker 1>emailed them and said, hey, some of you were probably familiar.

1:46:45.600 --> 1:46:49.479
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you know. I was a big and early proponent

1:46:49.600 --> 1:46:51.960
<v Speaker 1>of Ellison Barber when she was at the Washington Free Beacon.

1:46:52.080 --> 1:46:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Now she's a rising star over at Fox News. I

1:46:55.760 --> 1:46:58.479
<v Speaker 1>didn't find her, but I was somebody who was very

1:46:58.560 --> 1:47:01.479
<v Speaker 1>much in favor of of putting her on TV at

1:47:01.479 --> 1:47:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the Blaze. I did find Jillian Turner, who's just she's

1:47:05.920 --> 1:47:08.479
<v Speaker 1>hosting shows over at Fox now. She's doing a great

1:47:08.600 --> 1:47:12.000
<v Speaker 1>job of that. And you know, uh, there there are

1:47:12.040 --> 1:47:13.920
<v Speaker 1>There are a few others that I don't want to

1:47:13.920 --> 1:47:15.360
<v Speaker 1>go into too much. I don't want to take too

1:47:15.439 --> 1:47:16.479
<v Speaker 1>much of a bow here, but there are a few

1:47:16.520 --> 1:47:19.599
<v Speaker 1>others that I've helped get going on all this. In fact,

1:47:19.720 --> 1:47:23.320
<v Speaker 1>we have I'm hoping we'll get Joe Simonson back on

1:47:23.520 --> 1:47:27.240
<v Speaker 1>radio sometime as a guest. He is a daily caller reporter,

1:47:27.720 --> 1:47:29.840
<v Speaker 1>does some Fox News too. He was an intern for

1:47:29.960 --> 1:47:35.320
<v Speaker 1>me at at the Blaze in the original Saturday version

1:47:35.439 --> 1:47:39.160
<v Speaker 1>of this show. At the Blaze, he was he was

1:47:39.240 --> 1:47:41.400
<v Speaker 1>my intern and we both wore boat shoes, and I

1:47:41.439 --> 1:47:43.320
<v Speaker 1>saw it he came in. I mean, talk about a

1:47:43.360 --> 1:47:45.000
<v Speaker 1>way to impress the boss. You know, he came in

1:47:45.160 --> 1:47:49.880
<v Speaker 1>wearing not just boat shoes, but Sperry Gold Cup. John.

1:47:49.960 --> 1:47:51.360
<v Speaker 1>It's like he was my It's like he was my

1:47:51.479 --> 1:47:53.880
<v Speaker 1>brother from another mother. I mean, you know, we're wearing

1:47:53.920 --> 1:47:56.720
<v Speaker 1>the same shoes down to the and that's a very

1:47:56.720 --> 1:47:59.720
<v Speaker 1>sp those of you who know the Sperry Gold Cup,

1:47:59.760 --> 1:48:01.880
<v Speaker 1>it's worth the extra sixty bucks to get it, to

1:48:01.960 --> 1:48:04.519
<v Speaker 1>get it right. William, By the way, that's mine. If

1:48:04.560 --> 1:48:07.320
<v Speaker 1>I could have a dream sponsor, I think the dream

1:48:07.400 --> 1:48:10.519
<v Speaker 1>sponsor would be Sperry would be high on the list.

1:48:10.560 --> 1:48:13.000
<v Speaker 1>And I have. I've had more pairs of Sperry shoes

1:48:13.040 --> 1:48:16.639
<v Speaker 1>in my life than any other brand of anything. William Rights,

1:48:16.640 --> 1:48:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm listening to last night. Bucks says the EIB doesn't

1:48:19.200 --> 1:48:22.600
<v Speaker 1>use guys within active show as guest host lo and

1:48:22.680 --> 1:48:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Behold at noon, Todd Herman comes on as guest host.

1:48:27.240 --> 1:48:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Not only does Todd have an active show, he's in

1:48:30.080 --> 1:48:33.519
<v Speaker 1>the three three to six pm Pacific time slot. For

1:48:33.640 --> 1:48:35.960
<v Speaker 1>those of you time zone challenge. That's the same slot

1:48:36.080 --> 1:48:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Bucks in. That's all I'm gonna say about that. Wow,

1:48:42.560 --> 1:48:44.160
<v Speaker 1>you know I might have to I might have to

1:48:44.200 --> 1:48:46.639
<v Speaker 1>make a phone call. I didn't know that. I guess

1:48:46.720 --> 1:48:49.840
<v Speaker 1>then they will. Maybe the policy has changed, but I

1:48:50.080 --> 1:48:52.720
<v Speaker 1>have to call. I have to call El Rushbow's team

1:48:52.800 --> 1:48:56.080
<v Speaker 1>say hey, guys, I'm still I'm very I'll do six

1:48:56.160 --> 1:48:58.400
<v Speaker 1>hours of radio. You just tell me when. I think

1:48:58.439 --> 1:48:59.960
<v Speaker 1>it's because we're on the same network and it's the

1:49:00.080 --> 1:49:02.200
<v Speaker 1>same syndicator. I think that's the rule. I think maybe

1:49:02.200 --> 1:49:04.800
<v Speaker 1>if you're outside, unless he's an iHeart host as well.

1:49:05.760 --> 1:49:08.760
<v Speaker 1>But I'll look into that. Thanks for the heads up, William. Yeah,

1:49:09.040 --> 1:49:11.599
<v Speaker 1>I gotta. I'm gona to give myself a code red team.

1:49:11.800 --> 1:49:14.320
<v Speaker 1>It's been real. I'll see you tomorrow. Shield Tie
