1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. We'll mustache Bolton, sink

2
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: Trump's ship, plus CNN shows us who they really are

3
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of smug libs. Washington Post suspends a journalist

4
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: for some tweets about Kobe Bryant's terrible accident. And then

5
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: what about Western civilization? And art is triggering to other civilizations?

6
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: And there art We'll get into that coming up. This

7
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: is the bus Sexon Show, where the mission or mission

8
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make

9
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: no mistake American great here a great American Again the

10
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show begins. Remember no, Welcome to the buck

11
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: Sexton Show, every buddy, thank you so much for being here.

12
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: Man from NYC. Always a good day here in town.

13
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: Appreciate you spending the time with us. Pruce and Mark

14
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: is fired up today. He got a good night's sleep.

15
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: Apparently I got a good night's sleep. We have quite

16
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: a show in store for you. Let's kick it off

17
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: with Bolton straight away, Mustache Bolton. Right, isn't there a

18
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: Beatles song? I am the Walrus? Right? Isn't that? Or

19
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: is a line? A line from a Beatles song? Because

20
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: the must the Bolton mustache is Walrus like, and I

21
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: respect that the guy's willing to go out on a

22
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: limb in this way and be so devoted to a

23
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: particular style of facial hair. Somebody who is newer to

24
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: the facial hair game respect for Bolton on that, but

25
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: some disrespect on some other things should come mister Bolton's way.

26
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: And I guess that's where we start this today. Why

27
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: would a former senior adviser to any president, never mind

28
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: this president, think it is appropriate to write down everything

29
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: that was said in meetings and then use some of that,

30
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: at least to publish a book so that the public

31
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: can know what was going through the president's mind and

32
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: how he reaches the decisions that he reaches. Notice how

33
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: this is very much out of the Komi playbook. You

34
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: see these bureaucratic infighters, people who have spent a long

35
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: time in the corridors of power and government often have

36
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: competing emotions. And this comes from my time in the CIA,

37
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: dealing with not just the most senior CIA folks, but

38
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: also other people throughout the government all the way up

39
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: to the President. I had briefings in the Oval Office

40
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: with the President, the Vice President, national Security Advisor, and

41
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. And when you spend some

42
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: time in those policy circles, you get the sense very

43
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: quickly that you have people who are both frustrated. They

44
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: feel frustrated and underappreciated because their genius has not been

45
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: fully embraced by the rest of their government peers. And

46
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: then there's also quite a bit of arrogance because they've

47
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: had this power and they think, they really know, they're

48
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: the one that is best suited for this job. They're

49
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: the one that needs to maintain the perception in government

50
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: circles and even more importantly, in many ways outside of government,

51
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: that they have a wisdom insight that other people would

52
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: not bring to the same role. What is that really

53
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: based in I don't know. I don't think you could

54
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: really point to anything in particular. In fact, I have

55
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: popularized what I believe now many people understand to be

56
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: a truism about these government agencies and these government positions,

57
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: which is that they're very hard jobs to get. That

58
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that the people who get them are impressive,

59
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: highly skilled, and worthwhile. Just because it's hard to get,

60
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to win the lottery. It doesn't

61
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: mean a lottery winner as a genius. Right, that's a

62
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: simplification of this principle. But you understand where I'm going

63
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: with it, So I'm Bashador Bolton. You look at him

64
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: and you ask, well, what exactly are the big foreign

65
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: policy successes that this individual has. Does he feel any

66
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: even a little bit chastened over the Iraq War? No?

67
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: Does he feel like there has been a really now

68
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: multidecade failure in the war in Afghanistan to even understand

69
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: what we are doing there other than prevent the Taliban

70
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: from taking over the country and defeating the allies that

71
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: we have spent billions and billions and billions of dollars training, equipping,

72
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: and trying to assist. Perhaps maybe people feel that that's

73
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: enough of a mission, but then we should at least

74
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: be honest about it. There is no future in which

75
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: a stable and democratic and worthwhile from a nation state perspective,

76
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: Afghanistan exists. It's always going to be this difficult, violent

77
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: backwater of a country. That's just something that we may

78
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: have to step I would prefer there was honesty from

79
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: policy circles though about this. Why is Bolton someone who

80
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: has this job of National Security Advisor? Well, it's in

81
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: no small part because he was making the rounds as

82
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: a pundit on Fox News. He had visibility to this president.

83
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: To Trump did not come from the left wing media swamp.

84
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: And as we see with Trump, if you were good

85
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: enough on Fox and known in those conservative circles, it's

86
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: very it was a very useful springboard to some of

87
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: the most powerful positions in government. And this this didn't

88
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: always result in a good outcome. Just look at the mooch. Hey,

89
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: a mooch sennor Scaramouchi, who is really reveling in his

90
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: turn coode status against the president. I mean, this was

91
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: a fellow who I remember. I sat on a panel

92
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: on Maria Bardaromo's show once and we had we had

93
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: the Mooch come in, and he was almost the Trump whisperer.

94
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: He was an individual who came in to tell us

95
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: what was really going on in Trump's mind, in his heart,

96
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: and all of it was that Trump is a genius,

97
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: He's amazing, He's fantastic. And then when the mooch really

98
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: self destructed, it wasn't deep. You can't blame Trump for

99
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: the mooch calling a reporter and going on some really

100
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: shockingly profane I mean, I do use salty language in

101
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: private life, but not like the Mooch does shockingly profane

102
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: tirade and got himself fired from the White House. Speaking

103
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: of people getting very important, very senior jobs, White House

104
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: Communications Directors, Karamuchi, Special Advisor to the President, Amorrossa. I mean,

105
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: you go down this list the presidents. I mean, I'm

106
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: amazed at actually how successful he has been given some

107
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: of the quite honestly unforced errors that have been made. Right,

108
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that he withstood the Russia collusion ambush,

109
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: which is what it was. It was a coordinated ambush

110
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: from the deep state, the left of Democrats trying to

111
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: undermine this present. The fact that he was able to

112
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: do that is remarkable, and I think it would have

113
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: broken a lesser man. I don't know. I don't know

114
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: if I would have been able to handle in Trump shoes,

115
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: all that pressure, people going after trying to use the

116
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: weaponize the Department of Justice, to go after your children,

117
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: to go after your family, to go after anybody who's

118
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: close to you. That's intimidating, even when you're the President

119
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: of the United States. But on the personnel choices he

120
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: has made, I can make no defense of Trump in

121
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: that in that realm, I mean, he just he's I

122
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: don't know who he's listening to. I don't know why

123
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: he can't figure this out, and people who Sometimes people

124
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: get mad at me or Trump supporters, and I say,

125
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: or really, are we gonna you get? Some of Trump's

126
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: most senior people turn on him after he's given them

127
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: the opportunity of a lifetime to serve their country. And

128
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: that's what brings me back to Bolton here. What's most important?

129
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: When I was talking to you about these bureaucrats and

130
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: their egos and the frustration insecurity and arrogance that all

131
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: combines in this Knox just stew I'm so amazing, but

132
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: people don't think I'm amazing enough. And I'm the one

133
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: who needs this job. But it's really about the mission,

134
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: this ping ponging back and forth psychologically, what is really

135
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: important using that position to advance the interests of the

136
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: United States, the American people, or making sure that you

137
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: get a two million dollar book advance and get really

138
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: big fees on the speaking circuit afterwards, and that your

139
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: policy chums, your buddies think that you did great work

140
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: and maybe you'll get pulled into another administration, or you'll

141
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: be made the president of some very cash you know,

142
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: coffers full to the brim think tank, or maybe you'll

143
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: get pulled in to be on the board of some company,

144
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: not Barisma, because you've got to be a real superstar

145
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: to get on the board of Barisma. As we know,

146
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: apparently Hunter Biden actually is going to pay the child

147
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: support videos for the child he fathered with a stripper

148
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: that he initially denied paternity of. And I believe he's

149
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: also married and his wife is expecting, so he's got

150
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: his handsful. But he is going to be writing some checks,

151
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: it seems, before having to go to court to have

152
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: them force him to do so. I go back to

153
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: my premise on this of could you imagine if one

154
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: of the Trump children had this story? Never mind, I

155
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: mean there's the BURISMUS staff and the doing crack and

156
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: getting kicked out of a military post. He only got

157
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: his dad was a senator, is a public affairs post,

158
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: gets kicked out of that for failing a drug I mean,

159
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: what a mess. But remember nothing he did was in

160
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: any way illicit. Hunter Biden has fantastic judgment. How could

161
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: you question his judgment with the crack and the strippers

162
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: and the out of wedlock lying about birth thing and

163
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: all that, And I mean, who could really think that

164
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden would make such a mistake, make an air

165
00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: of course not, it's malarkey, utter malarkey. But then that

166
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: brings me to Bolton again. This is another reason why

167
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: the Senate, the Republican senators that are currently in the

168
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: seventh day of what is a stunningly boring trial, because

169
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: it's there's not even no normal person hears about what

170
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: the allegations are and says, oh my gosh, the president

171
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: did that. First of all, he didn't do anything, because

172
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: nothing happened at Second of all, even if he tried

173
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: to do the thing they say he wanted to do,

174
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: who cares he has the right to do it. They're

175
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: impeaching the president over nothing, or they have impeached him

176
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: mother over nothing. They're trying to remove him even that

177
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: step further over absolutely nothing. And that's why with the

178
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: exception of about you know, three or four million superlibs

179
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: who watched this coverage on TV, and I mean, I

180
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: know how many of them are super libs. That's who

181
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: watches the coverage probab about half Superlibs and half people

182
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: who just care to know really followed politics closely, Conservatives,

183
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: and there are other people, but you know, there is

184
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: this core of left wing base that finds all these

185
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: speeches by Adams and I think it's journalists. For example,

186
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: they think every Adam Shifts speech is the combination of

187
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, the funeral oration by Pericles, you know, the

188
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: Gettysburg address. I mean, you name him, the greatest speeches

189
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: in history. You know, Eisenhower talking about the military industrial

190
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: complex and all this stuff, all the greatest speeches in history.

191
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: And they think that Adam Shift is just doing that

192
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: all the time when he's talking about this obstruction and

193
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: corruption and all the rest of it. Mustache Bolton should feel, honestly,

194
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: his loyalty should be to the people of the United States,

195
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: and in that means not going along with the ambush

196
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: that Democrats are running against the duly elected president of

197
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: the United States on false slash, trumped up pardon the

198
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: phrase pretenses, that's where we are. His book is not

199
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: as important as not playing into the Democrats hands here.

200
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: But again, the president brings in someone of questionable judgment,

201
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: questionable history, and loyalty. On top of all of that,

202
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: I have never been a Boltonist. He is definitely showing

203
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: us shades of James Comy here. Who was the single

204
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: most important person in the whole James Coomy fiasco we

205
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: know is Comy himself. That's what really mattered. It was

206
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: never about Trump or the American people or anything else.

207
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: First and foremost, it was about Comey. Why does Bolton

208
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: think he's so important that this book needs to drop

209
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: now at this point? And why should he profit so

210
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: handsomely off of betraying the very commander in chief whom

211
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: he was entrusted with the sacred obligation to advise on

212
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: matter of war and peace? Do we ever get an

213
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: answer for that? Now? Every everybody just gets to cash out. Now,

214
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: everybody in DC, all the swamp dwellers, get to do

215
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: whatever they want on either side of the aisle when

216
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: it's time to fill up their bank account and get

217
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: their face on television. It's distressing. It's also why I

218
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: sit here and tell you I do believe. I believe

219
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell will keep the senators in line here. I

220
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: won't go as far to say that I can predict

221
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: because Mitt Romney. You know when MIT's in it, you

222
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: never know with friends like Mitt, who needs enemies in politics.

223
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: But I do think that they're going to vote to

224
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: end this thing, that they should just have the vote.

225
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: Have the vote. Let's see. If they don't, they will

226
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: not have learned a fundamental lesson of the Trump era,

227
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: which is that if you if you insist on taking

228
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: good faith actions to try to make the other side

229
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: like you, when all they've done is bad faith action

230
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: and show you how much they hate you, you're not

231
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: going to win them over and you're not gonna win.

232
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: I've got a better idea. Hey, Republicans in the Senate,

233
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: let's win. Shut it down, take the vote. America needs

234
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: to move on. You're in the Freedom Hut. This is

235
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Well, it's kind of ironic.

236
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: It's coming from the New York Times. Someone telling the

237
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: New York Times about a book deal about somebody wants

238
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: to sell a lawyer or lawyer kind of confirmed. Regardless

239
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: regardless of all that, you go to the fact Ukraine

240
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: got the money. They did nothing to get the money. Zelenski,

241
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: the president said, there was nothing held up. If you

242
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: based upon that, you have the transcripts to which the

243
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: whole world does. If you stick to the facts, there's

244
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: no reason why this carry on beyond Friday. If you

245
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: look at what the Democrats said in Adler when he

246
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: was in Congress proposing this impeachment, that they proved to

247
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: beyond a shadow of a doubt, it is not the

248
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: Senate's rule to have witnesses come in. I do not

249
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: think they made the case. I think they repeated the

250
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: same thing. I think they went overboard when you saw

251
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: Nadler and you also saw Adam Shifts and they're going

252
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: to put people's heads on a spike and others. I

253
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: think they did everything in their case to make sure

254
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: that this is ended. By this. The Republicans have been

255
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: operating in good faith this whole time. I think too

256
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: much good faith, and I think that they have allowed

257
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: the Democrats to gain too much ground for their underhanded

258
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: messaging efforts. But here you are. You know, the draft

259
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: of the of the Bolton book seems to have been

260
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: or at least parts of it have been leaked to

261
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: the New York Times. This is Kavanaugh two point oh,

262
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: this is the playbook all over again. They've decided that

263
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: they're not they haven't won. Everyone knows this now. I

264
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: mean the desperate Dems that go on TV and say,

265
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it was an amazing speech. Look with

266
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: the no no sorry if Nadler, no serious person finds

267
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: them to be compelling truth tellers. No honest observer in

268
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: this whole process would turn around and say, yeah, Adam

269
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: Schiff and Nadler, they really convinced me. I was on

270
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: the I was on the fence before, but I've changed

271
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: my mind because of what they have said. You know,

272
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: there's there's some different areas they keep trying to find.

273
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: What will the same way than the earliest days after

274
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: the whistle blower we still don't know the whistle blower is.

275
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: Why is that because the media is complicit in this?

276
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: Well A, you're gonna tell me the media can't figure

277
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: this out. They've all got sources, the national security apparatus

278
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: they can't figure out. And we already we've it's already

279
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: been reported it's Eric Scaramella. Can we find out if

280
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: that's actually true or not? You know, can we verify

281
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: this that's what's been reported? No, no one. When was

282
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: the last time you even heard that name? And it matters?

283
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: A whole lot who he is and what his motivations were.

284
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: It certainly does because we're in this game of perception,

285
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: perception of were these charges brought against the president because

286
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: of outrage against crimes, against against constitution or were a

287
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: bunch of left wing activists in the government conspiring to

288
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: find some excuse because the Mueller probe failed to bring

289
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: this president down. That's a very important distinction. That's one

290
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: we should have all the facts we can to answer

291
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: one way or the other. But they pretend that that's

292
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: not the present, that's that's not the case, that's not

293
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: going to happen. Um. You have also the severity of

294
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: this is now getting you know that they keep moving.

295
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: What the ground is that they want to have this

296
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: fight on the Democrats are going to? Where are they

297
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: really going to focus in? One area is as is

298
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: this even is this conduct even impeachable? Which from the

299
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: very beginning, so this should just be I mean, this

300
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: is where Trump and his defenders should have should have

301
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: made the this is where the fortress should have been

302
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: set up. And this is ridiculous. It's utterly clearly not

303
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: impeachable conduct. They happened, and he's allowed to have the

304
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: conversation he had and that's it. That's it. But sometimes

305
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: this White House doesn't have the best messaging strategy. Thanks

00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. And So, the appropriate question for

309
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: crimes alleged in the articles and the common law of

310
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: presidential impeachment and Nixon yes, in Clinton yes, here no

311
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: a factor to be considered as the judges in the

312
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: High Court come as you will individually to your judgment.

313
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 1: What's a way to gauge the severity of this? You

314
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: get into this argument about about whether there are whether

315
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: you have to commit an actual criminal offense to be impeached,

316
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: and I think that in fairness and in honesty, no,

317
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: of course there are. There are circumstances under which you

318
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: could be impeached without violating the law. But when we

319
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: talk about high crimes and misdemeanors, right, I mean the

320
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: language used, the perception of why would this be set

321
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: up in this way? You look at the history of

322
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: this process when it has been used before, and the

323
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: fact that it has never been successfully for example used,

324
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: meaning that a president's ever been removed should tell us something.

325
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: It's a very high bar, a very high bar. It

326
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: was FDR impeached and removed for violating the constitutional rights

327
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: of Japanese Americans who were put into internment camps. Now,

328
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: of course not. I mean you look at all these

329
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: other times in history. I mean you look at Wilson,

330
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: look at FDR. You could look at a whole bunch

331
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: of presidents and say, well, I mean they they violated

332
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: people's rights. They did things that would be far more egregious,

333
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: far more egregious when President Trump has done so. Really,

334
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: this becomes a the reason this is not a criminal proceeding. Okay,

335
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: this is not in the hands that are partner of justice.

336
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: It is assessing whether or not this is an outrage

337
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: without politics. Can you take political inclination out of this?

338
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: And would a normal American be outrage to hear about this?

339
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: And I know we're in a culture we're outrage is

340
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: so cheap, and the media thrives off of it, and they're,

341
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, they pretend to be freaked out all

342
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: the time. But when someone sits down and says to you,

343
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: this is what happened. The President United States have this

344
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: phone call raised the issue of whether he could get

345
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: some answers in an area of corruption involving somebody who, yes,

346
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: is a Democratic contender for the presidency. Does anyone say, oh,

347
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: that's just too far. The only people who say that

348
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: are the same people who think the president is a

349
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: traitor because of Russia, which was a lie. The president

350
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,239
Speaker 1: is a rapist, including this woman who came forward with

351
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: the allegation from thirty five years ago at a department store,

352
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: went on Anderson Cooper TV. Made a mockery of Anderson

353
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: Cooper's journalism. You know said, quote, this is the woman

354
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: who accused him. You know quote, I think rapist. Sexy

355
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: end quote, that is what the accuser of Donald Trump.

356
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: That everyone now is just pretended like that didn't happen.

357
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: What she said. So, the same people who believe that

358
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: Trump is out of his mind crazy has to be

359
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: replaced through the exercise of a constitutional amendment to remove

360
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: a crazy president. The same people think the president was

361
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: a trader with Russia. The same people who think the

362
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: president should be removed for the emolument's clause. The same

363
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: people who think the president should be removed because of

364
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: the Billy Bush tape. I mean just whatever it is.

365
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: Those are the only people who hear about this story

366
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: and say, yeah, yeah, he should be impeached and removed

367
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: from office for it. If you don't fit into that category,

368
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: if you're not somebody who has thought the president should

369
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: be removed from office for a dozen other things, none

370
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: of which he should have been removed from removed for,

371
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: then you hear this and you say no. So when

372
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: they talk about how there's no crime, I mean, there's

373
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: there's no crime against against dignity, ethics, and morality worthy

374
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: of being removed from office, I mean, forget about it

375
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: actually being a criminal statute. There's just no They're there,

376
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: but they'll they'll try on this and they're hoping to

377
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: focus in on something that will just give them a

378
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: little more a little more leeway. Look, it's pretty straightforward.

379
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,239
Speaker 1: If you want to take a sports analogy. This is

380
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: the this is the fourth quarter. And now you know,

381
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: now the two teams in this impeachment and removal proceeding,

382
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats. You know, they're calling timeouts, they're throwing

383
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: the ball. You know, they're throwing the ball, making sure

384
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: that it gets out of bounds so that the clock

385
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: stops I mean there there's time management going on here

386
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: because one side just wants to do anything to extend

387
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: this and that's the Democrats because they've lost, and they

388
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: know it. They've lost. They did not they did not

389
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: make the case, they did not win the perception battle.

390
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 1: And Republicans it's in their hands now. All Republicans have

391
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: to do. Producing Mark's gonna be proud of me. I'm

392
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: gonna use some sports here. All Republicans in the Senate

393
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: have to do is take a knee. That's all they

394
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: have to do. They have the ball, the clock is

395
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: running down. They can take a knee. Why when the

396
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: other side has been cheating it every way and on

397
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: the other side is doing everything they can to make

398
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: sure that it hasn't been a fair game, and you

399
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: have the ball in your hands and you're the Republican party,

400
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: why would you not say we're ending this thing. That's

401
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: what justice would be, That's what justice demands here. And

402
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: I worry that there are some Republicans so in love

403
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: the same way that John Bolton is so in love

404
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: with his own greatness and wisdom that his story and

405
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: his book is more important than this presidency. Clearly there

406
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: are Republican senators, where I think are more in love

407
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: with the perception of themselves as the good, ethical, honest people.

408
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: They find Trump still so unseemly. Oh, Trump is such

409
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: a such an odious character that they just want to

410
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: create some separation with him because they're not like Trump.

411
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: They're better and Trump. That's clearly what Mitt Romney thinks.

412
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: Mitt Romney who Donald Trump brought back into the fold

413
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: and was willing to help again and was willing to

414
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: play ball with And that's one thing about Trump. I

415
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: will say, Yes, you know, people come and go in

416
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: his good graces, but if you extend your hand to Trump,

417
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: he seems to me willing to take it, even in

418
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: cases where he shouldn't. But that is that is the

419
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: reality of this president, for better or for worse. And

420
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: this is the reality of Mitt Romney prousition mark playclip nine.

421
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: I've said for some time, but I hope to be

422
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: able to hear from John Bolton. I think with a

423
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: story that came out yesterday's increasingly apparent that it would

424
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: be important to hear from John Bolton. I of course

425
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: will make a final decision on witnesses after we've heard

426
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: from not only the prosecution, but also the defense. But

427
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: I think at this stage it's pretty fair to say

428
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: that John Bolton has a relevant testimony to provide to

429
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: those of us who are sitting in impartial justice. John

430
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: Bolton's testimony is relevant. Why isn't Hunter Biden's testimony relevant?

431
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: How come Mitt Romney won't come out? I mean, if

432
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: Mitt was really standing on principle and not the greatness

433
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: of MIT, sounds like the worst sitcom ever Mitt Romney,

434
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: you know, just walking around following Mitt Romney, how awesome

435
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: he is. But if it wasn't about the greatness of MIT,

436
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't you line this up and say, hold on a second. Okay, look,

437
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: I want to hear from Bolden, but I also want

438
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: to hear from Hunter Biden. And then when people say

439
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: it's not relevant, that's a joke, that's preposterous. Of course

440
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: it's relevant. The entire Democrat case rests on. It was

441
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: completely illegitimate, unfounded to ask any questions about an investigation

442
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: involving Hunter Biden in barisma, when any normal, any federal

443
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: corruption prosecutor, knowing these facts in the situation, would say, yeah, no,

444
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: that's worthy of a probe, that's worthy of it's worth

445
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: looking into what happened there. We should know, we should know,

446
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: So how can that not be relevant. It's not relevant

447
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: because that doesn't look good for the Democrats, and they

448
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: just think that they will win the public perception battle.

449
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: They can shout, they can outshout the Republicans in this

450
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: propaganda fight, and that's that's what they're we're banking on.

451
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: Which again it's why I say, Republicans, you have the ball.

452
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: The clock is running down to take their knee. This

453
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: is done. It's done. They're gonna say Trump is impeach

454
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to stain him. They have stained him.

455
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, not to anybody who not to anyone

456
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: who has ever supported Trump or thought about supporting Trump,

457
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: we all know what a joke this thing is. But

458
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: they have put this mark on Trump's record forever that

459
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: he has been impeached. So okay, they got that. They

460
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: abuse their power, They abuse the faith the American people

461
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: put in them by giving them power to do this.

462
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: The Senate wants to give them what why why show

463
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: good faith? All because of the greatness of the Senate.

464
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: This is this is simply absurd. And we also know

465
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: this is absurd because there was not a single member

466
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: of the opposing party, as ken ken Starr, a man

467
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: who knows a thing or two about impeachment play clip five.

468
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: To the contrary, for the first time in America's modern history,

469
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: not a single House member of the presidence parties supported

470
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: either of the two articles of impeachment, not one, not

471
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: in committee, not on the House floor. And that pivotal

472
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: fact puts in bold relief the Peter Redino principle, call

473
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: it the Redino rule. Impeachment must be bipartisan in nature.

474
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: Against sitting as a courtin this body should signal to

475
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: the nation the return to our traditions bipartisan impeachments. This

476
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 1: is an entirely partisan process, and a part is an

477
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: impeachment process. There's no Republican who's gone along with this,

478
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: no Republican who says, yes, you're right. Finally, this is

479
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: this is too much, that Trump has gone too far.

480
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: And underneath all of this there's an assumption, an assumption

481
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: that I think is pretty offensive, but it's also being

482
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: made by emotionally unstable libs. So how upset can you

483
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: really be that there's nothing that Trump could do that

484
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: would make people turn them. That's just not true. If

485
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 1: during that whole Russian collusion fiasco, they had found real

486
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: proof that the Trump campaign, on the direction of the President,

487
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: had tried to engage in a program of stealing of

488
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: emails and at the direction of the president and coordination

489
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: with the Russians about when to release them. If the

490
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: initial allegation but that were true and they could prove it, well, yeah,

491
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: of course, you know, you can't have that. You can't

492
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: have a president working with a foreign power open, you know,

493
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: intentionally trying to skew an election. I mean, that's why

494
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: they use that narrative because it was so. But it

495
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: was of course all a lie. It was all a lie.

496
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: You can notice how that the storyline there wasn't well,

497
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: even if President Trump did that, that's fine, it was well,

498
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: he didn't do it. He's innocent on this. The storyline

499
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,479
Speaker 1: is even more bizarre in a sense because it's not

500
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: even the president is innocent, it's that there's nothing, there's

501
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: really no violation. I don't even if John Bolden comes forward,

502
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: and I know that I'm not entirely alone on this,

503
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: but they're not that many people who agree with me,

504
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: even on the right, either if John Bolden came forward

505
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: and said, yeah, he was conditioning the AID on getting

506
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: investigations of what was going on with Barisma. He's the

507
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: commander in chief, he's allowed to do that. If you

508
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: think that's too much bare knuckle politics, few that's a

509
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: little bit too And remember Obama had the IRS investigating

510
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: political opponents. We're supposed to pretend like that wasn't a

511
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: big deal. After the Tea Party had completely crushed Democrats

512
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: in a midterm election, all of a sudden, going to

513
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: the twenty twelve election, the IRS is using is weaponized

514
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: against conservative groups, patriot conservative America. That's like who they're

515
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: going after and the IRS. That tells you a lot,

516
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: doesn't it. But you know, there was no there's no

517
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: impeachment move against Obama. There people weren't. Oh, you know

518
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: Obama needs to be removed from office for this. No,

519
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: he said there was not a smidgeon of corruption, and

520
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: he lied to the American people. He got away with

521
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: lying all the time, didn't matter he was Obama. Trump

522
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: lies and they tell you Trump lies about his shoe sizes.

523
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: You know, Trump lies about who cares Obama lies about.

524
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: You can keep your plan if you want to keep

525
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: your plan, your healthcare plan. That seems to matter to

526
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: me quite a bit more. I am hoping, friends, that

527
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: this will end soon. I am hoping that we are

528
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: not foolish enough to go through what we went through

529
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: with Kavin. I remember that, Oh, the FBI needs to

530
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: investigate the allegations of crazy people who are lying. No.

531
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: I don't think the FBI should have had to investigate

532
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: the allegations of crazy people who are lying. That was absurd. Oh,

533
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: we're going to extend this now because John Bolton wants

534
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: to say something. If John, if what John Bolton says

535
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: is true, I don't care. Republicans should still say Nope,

536
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: no removal, see you later, doesn't matter. There's nothing John

537
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: Bolton can say at this point that would change anyone's

538
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: mind who understands the full dynamics of what's really going

539
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: on here, So who cares, don't fall into the trap

540
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: this is. This is where the left uses the underlying,

541
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: the underlying desire for decency that conservatism fosters, and I don't. Oh,

542
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: Trump is so India. Whatever the reality is, the Conservatives

543
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: are much more likely to play by rules that hurt

544
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: their own side than Democrats. Are, and you can think

545
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: of countless examples of this. We cannot let that be

546
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: used as a weapon against us in intelection year when

547
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: the American people should get this, should get the choice

548
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: I give you. I mean, I give you my word.

549
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: You know this. If we have an election and Donald

550
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: Trump loses, I'm going to say, okay, I mean, unless

551
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: there's something that really happened, that's an irregularity. And so

552
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: unless there really was cheating, which I don't think. I

553
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: don't think they're unlike democrats, I'm not saying that that's

554
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: going to happen. They're already saying that's opening. I'll say, Okay,

555
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: Trump lost, you know, perhaps Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren

556
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: or Joe Biden's a president. Now we got to deal

557
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: with this. This is our new reality. I'm not gonna

558
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: cry and say that they stole it and he cheated

559
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: to do That's what democrats do. You're in the Freedom hunt.

560
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. The articles of

561
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: impeachment before you have been passed on a purely partisan

562
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: basis for the first time in history. In fact, there

563
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: was bipartisan opposition to the articles of impeachment. They have

564
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: been trying to impeach the president from the moment of

565
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: his inauguration for no reason, just because he won. That

566
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: is why they are impeaching that. That's why they have

567
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: impeached a president. That's why they're trying to remove the president.

568
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: It's because he won and he was not supposed to.

569
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: It's because that is the violation, and people are still

570
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: very upset about it, and they're even more terrified in

571
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: a sense, the ratification, the consolidation, the stamp of approval

572
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: of the American people, not just of Trump winning the

573
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: first time, but he's been in office for four years.

574
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: They've all told us, they say, he's so dumb, he

575
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: doesn't know anything. He's going to be a disaster. He's

576
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: better than Obama, and he's better than Bush as president.

577
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: So far, he just is. They can try to tell

578
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: us otherwise. There was actually some polling that came out,

579
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: I think it was yesterday on what do people think

580
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: of where the economy is now versus where it was

581
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: before Trump took office? And on every major metric, in

582
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: every area where you can try to measure this, it's better.

583
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: It's objectively better, it's subjectively better. People understand there, you know,

584
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: they know based on the numbers that things are going

585
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: really well, but they also feel like things are going

586
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: better than they were. Like, it's never perfect. There's no

587
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: such thing as economic security. You know, Producer Mark needs

588
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,239
Speaker 1: to build a when he gets the house for him

589
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: and the new missus, he's got to build a little

590
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: like poolhouse or something for the Buckster because it's too

591
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: expensive here in New York City. I don't want him

592
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: go to do. You know, there's no such thing as

593
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: economic security, really, but you do the best you can

594
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: with what you have, and you hope that there's an

595
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: economy that fosters your talents and makes things easier for

596
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: you instead of harder for you to succeed. That's where

597
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,439
Speaker 1: we are, and they want they want the American people.

598
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: They want the will of the American people to be

599
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 1: thwarted to use a process once. I mean, we've already

600
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: had a special counsel. When you really think about this,

601
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: it's just so absurd. And they've been punishing us by

602
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: putting this through, this this worthless spectacle of Schiff And

603
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: now they're in Pelosi just lying to our faces all

604
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 1: the time. Oh, they're so sad, that's why they're giving

605
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: out pens when they're signing the article of appeachment. Oh,

606
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: it's so grave, and they don't want to do it,

607
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: lying to us like we're all a bunch of idiots.

608
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: We all know what they're doing, we all understand what

609
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: this process has been about from the beginning. And it's

610
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 1: also just boring now it's just gotten to the boing

611
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: where I don't want to hear more of their same

612
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: arguments over and over again. We've all been through this enough.

613
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: The country should have other things too focus on. There

614
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: are other more worthwhile areas of our attention. Pretty much

615
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: anything is more worthwhile of our attention. This is the

616
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: seventh day of the Senate trial. It should be the

617
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: last day of the Senate trial. They should vote, they

618
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: should be done. That's it. Anything else and the buckster

619
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: is going to be very upset. Thanks for listening to

620
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts,

622
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: My friends, let's do a quick review, shall we. Why

623
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: did the president win? Why did he beat Hillary Clinton

624
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen? There are a lot of reasons we

625
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: could put forward. Some reasons as being more compelling than others.

626
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: Hillary's inability to find Wisconsin on a map, for example,

627
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: might have been part of the problem. There are tons

628
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: of things that you could point to, but one that

629
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: was a consistent, a consistent theme. And I remember this

630
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: because I was, for the twenty fifteen twenty sixteen election

631
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: cycle a political analyst at CNN, a conservative political analyst.

632
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: They always would call me that by a conservative commentator,

633
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: and then they'd bring on political analyst so and so.

634
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: You know, conservative political commentator Buck Sexton. You can just

635
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: hear the audience booing, poo, conservative, boo, Republican, and they'd

636
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: bring on, Ah, yes, let's hear from Maria Cardona or

637
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: Van Jones or Anna Navarro allegedly a Republican. By the way,

638
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: all she does is trash Republicans, but she's allegedly a Republican.

639
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: That's of the dishonest people and media, of the people

640
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,479
Speaker 1: that I really I feel both sort of sorry for them,

641
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: and I find it humorous and also disgusting all at

642
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 1: the same time. Are those who fall into the Jennifer

643
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: Rubin and a Navarro, Tom Nichols who unfollowed me on Twitter.

644
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: Oh so sad, oh so, sad. I was always I

645
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: was always very fair and good to Tom back in

646
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: the day when he wanted to have adult conversations. But

647
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: he's lost his mind and so now he doesn't follow

648
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: me on Twitter anymore. It it brings a tear to

649
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 1: my eye. If anything, I'm I'm too polite, I'm too

650
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: gallant for this industry. But sometimes you got to call

651
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: it out where it is. Max Boot another loon on

652
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 1: the right. But all he does is say what the

653
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: left wants him to. Doesn't understand or doesn't care that

654
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: he's being used as a prop against his former ideological allies.

655
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: And I guess these people never really cared about these

656
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: policy matters, never cared about these public debates, even if

657
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: they devoted decades of their lives to it, their their

658
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: professional lives, even if they were giving speeches and writing

659
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: books about how conservatism is. This is the way, as

660
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: they say on The Mandalorian Great Show, highly recommend Baby

661
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: Yoda worth the price of admission right then and there.

662
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: But then you have the reality of what CNN has become.

663
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: People ask, how could you ever have worked there? And

664
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: I tell them all it's because it has always been liberal.

665
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: But it used to be liberal and we're gonna bring

666
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: on Republicans, and we got to treat the Republican with

667
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: some basic decorum and respect. We've we've got to be

668
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: willing to show the Republican that, you know, we're not

669
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: just going to ambush them on air. And that wasn't

670
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: always true, and there was always but you know, I

671
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,919
Speaker 1: used to do Brook Baldwin show, and she was fair

672
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: to me at least when I was talking about terrorism stuff.

673
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: You know, I did other peoples shows and there were

674
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: a reasonable but you know, Don Lemon Show was always

675
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: just a mess. Don Lemon Show is always where the

676
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: CNN got to really be CNN. They they dropped the

677
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: facade of Oerward journalists, and they thought they made this

678
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 1: calculation that they could show Trump rallies, that they would

679
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: show the American people who Donald Trump was and that

680
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: it would hurt Trump. And they were always really mocking him.

681
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: They're like, aha, look at Trump, look at hout dumb.

682
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: This is look at all these people that are so

683
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: foolish they think Trump can win the presidency. And it

684
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: was too late, you know, when Zucker and company finally

685
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: figured out that, oh no, people like a politician who

686
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: speaks like a normal person. People like someone who embraces

687
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: the fact that he's imperfect but wants to represent the

688
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: will of a forgotten constituency of American voters, particularly white

689
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: working class voters in this country. I mean people like that.

690
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: CNN didn't figure that out. And there was also always

691
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: this elitist contempt, but it's an unearned elitism, not just

692
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: a sn at MSNBC to. I mean Joe Scarborough. Joe

693
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: Scarborough passes judgment all the time on people who are

694
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: far more intelligent, courageous, ethical, and worthwhile than he is.

695
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: That that's really part of that. That's his shick. He's

696
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 1: like the mean dumb guy in high school who's always

697
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 1: wearing the you know, the varsity letterman Jack or whatever

698
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: it was, Like, Yeah, I mean that guy, oh excuse me, mister,

699
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: like valedictorian, who's gonna go ROTC because you're just so cool.

700
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: That's Joe Scarborough. I mean, this is who these are

701
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: people that their their stick is appealing to insecure elitists

702
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: because one of the one of the one of the factors,

703
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: one of the realities of the trump eras you got

704
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: a guy who calls out journalist calls out a lot

705
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: of people says, why, why exactly are you so spectacular?

706
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: Why should you be able to look down your nose

707
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,959
Speaker 1: and other people? Why should you be able to put

708
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: others who have made different choices, who have perhaps you

709
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: know either you know, whether we're talking about women who

710
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: have focused on building families and staying home and taking

711
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: care of families. Oh, you know, the elitists on the

712
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 1: coast look down on that. Oh, it's like a it's

713
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,439
Speaker 1: like a form of servitude to be a mom who

714
00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: takes care of kids. It's ridiculous. And people who don't

715
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: go to fancy or any four year college and instead

716
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: sign up voluntarily for the military because they want to

717
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: serve their country. People who learn to be skilled welders

718
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: or electricians, or plumbers or carpenters or you know, to

719
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: make the stuff that we need to make our lives

720
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 1: safe and better and easier. You know, there are people

721
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: that go on TV. They're effectively glorified actors. They don't

722
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 1: know anything, they have no particular skills. They look down

723
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: on all those people and they think that those people

724
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: also aren't as good as illegal aliens. Those people are

725
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: idiots because they don't understand that there are thirty seven genders. Now,

726
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: those people, you know, need need to learn a whole

727
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: lot from the huff Post, Vox dot Com, New York Times,

728
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: left wing pseudo intelligentsia. That was a big underlying theme

729
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: of the entire Trump campaign and continues throughout the Trump presidency. Well,

730
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: we have now one of the most if you're trying

731
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: to distill that smugness, that unearned arrogance, which is a

732
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: key characteristic of the modern liberal and unearned arrogance. And

733
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: I really see this too, and it even comes up

734
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: among the people that I know in media. Conservatives tend

735
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,280
Speaker 1: to be not all of them summer I'm the greatest,

736
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: I do the greatest show, and I'm you know, that's fine,

737
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 1: that's their own thing. But generally speaking, conservatives are more

738
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: willing to say, look, you know, all the stuff I

739
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: still have to learn. There's there's a humility of liberals are, oh,

740
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,959
Speaker 1: I'm a genius. Oh that I've never seen so many

741
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: people of my life. You go, oh, you turn out

742
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: TV and all these liberals pose is the true intellectual

743
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: and then they say stupid things. You know, they all

744
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: think Laurence tribe is some kind of brilliant legal mind.

745
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: And then you see what this guy tweets out. You go,

746
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: this guy's in Harvard law school. This guy's an idiot,

747
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: doesn't know doesn't understand things that just a person who

748
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: thinks things through and has not polluted his mind with

749
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: the greatness of my every thought. I mean, arrogance can

750
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: actually be a hindrance to good decision making. Libs, guess what.

751
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: It's true. You can be trapped in your own composity. Wait,

752
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: it's a danger on the right end on the left.

753
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: But there is no class of people in this country

754
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: with a great I say this, okay, other than actors,

755
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: but actors have to usually be pretty good at acting,

756
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: although some of them are. There is no class of

757
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: people in this country with a greater degree of unearned

758
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,919
Speaker 1: arrogance and contempt for normal Americans than your standard lib

759
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: TV news anchor. They're famous, they're highly paid, and they're

760
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: good at basically nothing. It's amazing. It's a great gig

761
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: if you can get it, But usually gig is a

762
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: commodation being really lucky and sucking up to the right people.

763
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: That's how most of the people that you see on

764
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: TV that get these jobs get them. Speaking of which

765
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: we have the distillation of the contempt that the lib

766
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: TV news anchors and their analysts feel for the American

767
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 1: people in this unforgettable and I really hope I mean

768
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: that word very literally, unforgettable. Do not forget this. Here

769
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 1: is how a multi millionaire TV news anchor at CNN

770
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:28,439
Speaker 1: and his guests talk about Trump voters. Would you please

771
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: play producer Mark. He also knows, deep in his heart

772
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump couldn't find U crane in a map

773
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: if you had the letter you and a picture of

774
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: an actual physical crane next to it. He knows that

775
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: this is, you know, an administration defined by ignorance of

776
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: the world. And so that's partly him playing to their

777
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 1: bass and playing to their audience. You know, the credulous

778
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: boomer rub demo that backs Donald Trump, that wants to

779
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: think that that Donald Trump's a smorrow one And there

780
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: are y'all. Y'all will elite us or them? You elite

781
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: us with your geography and your maps and your spelling,

782
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: even though my math you're reading, yeah, you're reading. You

783
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: know your geography. Know in other countries see from your

784
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: latte all those lines on the map. Only them elite us.

785
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: Know where Ukraine is. Sorry, I apologize, but but it

786
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: was Rick's fault. I blame Ric but at all honestly,

787
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: but not sorry. Hold on, wait tell you the second

788
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on them. That was good. Sorry, that

789
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: was a good one. I needed that. Yeah, that was

790
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: a good one. Hilarious. I just wonder, I mean, they

791
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: say this, and I would I would want to know

792
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: what would what would the reaction have been if on

793
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 1: Fox newsample, which I think does have some very earnest

794
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: journalists who try to try to present the facts as

795
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: best they can. I'm not saying that no one's perfect that,

796
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: but I think they make a good faith effort. I

797
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 1: think there are people that try there. And then there's

798
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: a whole lot of opinion that is to the right,

799
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 1: no question, right, it's a it's a conservative leaning network.

800
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 1: I don't live in a fantasy where all, of course

801
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: it is CNN though doesn't say it's a liberal leading network.

802
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: CNN thinks it's objective. Right, it's a joke, it's ridiculous,

803
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: it's absurd. But can you imagine for a second if

804
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: Fox News had had a couple of it's and by

805
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 1: the way, that one guy, Rick Wilson's one of the

806
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: one of the guys who just all you have to

807
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: do is go and see the things that he said.

808
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: I I mean, I'm still amazed that the fact that

809
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 1: he goes on TV given what he said about Ann

810
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: Coulter on Twitter publicly once, which I cannot I could

811
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: not even begin to repeat on air. It was absolutely

812
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: disgusting and heinous. And you know, Anne is amazing, and

813
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 1: I think Ann's one of the one of the best

814
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: contemporary polemicists alive. I make no make no secret of that.

815
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: And you know, Rick Wilson, He's never been a problem

816
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: to me. I've met him a few times. I don't

817
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: have anything personally against him. I just think that his

818
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: stick is kind of disgusting, and sometimes it is quite

819
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: clearly disgusting. But you know, he's there and this is

820
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: this thing. He's a Republican that just he just dances

821
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: to the two and the Libs play for him all

822
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: the time. That's right, you know, come on, Rick Wilson,

823
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: go in the corner, dance, bear dance. Do what we

824
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,439
Speaker 1: tell you, Rick Wilson, and they do, and he does

825
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: it right. This has become the way I guess that

826
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 1: he puts, you know, food on the table. It's how

827
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: he gets the paycheck, whatever, and the other the other

828
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: individuals a New York Times writer, and I just have

829
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 1: to say, could you imagine if Fox News had one

830
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: of its main anchors, all right, this isn't some little

831
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: late night weekend show or something. I mean, this is

832
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: one of its main anchors, have on two guests and

833
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: laughing hysterically while they're essentially saying that, you know, the

834
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: base of the opposing party, that that Barack Obama's bass

835
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: can't read, doesn't have have maps, can't spell, you know,

836
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, drinks lattes or whatever, whatever

837
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: the stuff, all the stuff that they were saying, just

838
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: flip it. There would be outrage for all my outrage

839
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 1: from the media, you know, especially if they if these

840
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 1: conservative commentators in this sense, if they focused in I mean,

841
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: he went after you know what was it rue? Essentially

842
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: what they're making fun of here we all know this

843
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: are rural uh you know, rural senior citizen Trump voters

844
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: who are white. That's what that's what they're making fun of.

845
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: Could you imagine if there was a similar moment where

846
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: they went after some of the more favorable demographics for

847
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party and made fun of a lack of

848
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: maps and reading and literally, could you imagine the outrage

849
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 1: that you would see, Oh, Mike, it would be you know,

850
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,439
Speaker 1: we would be told that the country was being pulled

851
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: apart of the scene. There would probably be riots. Actually,

852
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean there would be real problems if that ever happened.

853
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 1: And you know, it's amazing here CNN thinks that they're

854
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 1: the victims. I see this one of the the fellow

855
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: mister Ali who was not RICKI you know, the other

856
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: one than Rick Wilson. He's saying, oh, you know, my

857
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: family's worried about my safety and everything now and look

858
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 1: and no, no person, there's never an excuse for threatening

859
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: anybody because of what they say on TV. And if

860
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: you do that, you're a moron. I don't care what

861
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: your politics are, what part of your or anything else.

862
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: If you do that, you're a bad person. Okay, so

863
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: let's just establish that. But this is this is just

864
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: the way CNN really, This is who that This is

865
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,760
Speaker 1: who CNN is, This is what that network's all about.

866
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: And this is what and the reason that you know,

867
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: I want to bring it up is that they haven't

868
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: learned anything. It hasn't changed, nothing is different from twenty

869
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,359
Speaker 1: sixteen four. Them, they don't, they don't feel any sense

870
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: of Wow, maybe we were wrong to trash Trump so

871
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: much because he's actually been a pretty good president. You know,

872
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: maybe we could try to come up with better ideas

873
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 1: to the American people instead of just saying a bunch

874
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: of you know, toothless hillbilly racists, or the reason that

875
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: Donald Trump won the election. They still live, you know,

876
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: they would say that we live though the Conservatives live

877
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: in a bubble. No lives live in a bubble. They

878
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,399
Speaker 1: don't understand that there are a whole lot of people,

879
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: millions and millions of millions of them, who vote for

880
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: Donald Trump who just think that it's a guy who

881
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 1: is going to do good things for the country and

882
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: doesn't look even though he's a billionaire and you know

883
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: he's married to supermodels and all this stuff. You know,

884
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't look on people who make a living, do

885
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 1: the right thing, treat their families well, try to support

886
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: their try to support their wife and children or you know,

887
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: their husband and children, whichever way, doesn't look down on

888
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: them with contempt. On white working class voters in particularly

889
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,240
Speaker 1: doesn't look at them with contempt, and the Democratic Party

890
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: really does have a contempt for that demographic. You know,

891
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: move aside, you're a problem. You're not educated, up, you're

892
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: you're not sophisticated. Up. You don't drink enough lattas with

893
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: almond milk or actually a hazel on milk, which I'm

894
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm a latte drinker, so there's that. I actually make

895
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: a pretty mean latte. CNN shows you who they are.

896
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: They've learned nothing. Just remember this. The New York Times,

897
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: the Washington Post, all these other major news out that

898
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: they all view the same way. They all view their

899
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: fellow Americans with contempt. You know, I don't view the

900
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: Democrat constituency the same the same way that the Democrats

901
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 1: view the Republican constituency. And that I don't. I don't

902
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: hate them at all. I don't. I don't have hatred

903
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 1: for them. I think they're wrong, I think they're misguided.

904
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: I think that there are a lot of things that

905
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: history shows us that they don't yet understand or are

906
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 1: unwilling to unwilling to take into account with their analysis.

907
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: But I still do hope. And that's why when I

908
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: hear from Democrats who listen to this show. It makes

909
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: me happy. I want more Democrats to listen to this

910
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: show because I do think that there are people who

911
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: the more they think about their beliefs and the more

912
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: they think about being Democrats and what that really means,

913
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: and get and get an unbiased or shouldn't unbiased? Pardon me,

914
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 1: get an unfiltered sense of it from somebody that opposes

915
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: that ideology, who understands that he's talking about. The more

916
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: likely is we can bring people over to our side

917
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: and our way of thinking, which I do think is

918
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:07,879
Speaker 1: better for the country. But CNN, folks, when people show

919
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 1: you who they are, listen to them, let them tell you.

920
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,719

00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: supposed to be investigating that company. No, not everybody gets it.

939
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 1: That's not a normal thing. But this is this is

940
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: what they have to do libs for their positions, to

941
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: hold the positions they do in this whole hundred Biden thing,

942
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: they have to pretend to be complete idiots. Thanks for

Speaker 1: your podcasts. The typical board number of these Fortune one

946
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: hundred companies, we know their titans of their industry. They're

947
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: highly qualified and as such they're well compensated. Even so,

948
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:03,879
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden was paid Sidney efficently more. This is how

949
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: well he was compensated. So Hunter Biden has paid over

950
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: eighty three thousand dollars a month, while the average American

951
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:21,919
Speaker 1: family of four during that time each year made less

952
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 1: than fifty four thousand dollars. And that's according to us

953
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: since his bureau during that time. And this is what's

954
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: been reported about his work on the board. The Washington

955
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: Post said, quote, what specific duties Hunter Biden carried out

956
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: for Barisma are not fully known end quote. Then New

957
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: Yorker reported, quote once or twice a year, he attended

958
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: Barisma board meetings and energy forums that took place in

959
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: Europe end quote. When speaking with ABC News about his

960
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: qualifications to be on Barisma's board, Hunter Biden didn't point

961
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: to any of the usual qualify stations of a board member.

962
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden had no experience in natural gas, no experience

963
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 1: in the energy sector, no experience with Ukrainian regulatory affairs.

964
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: As far as we know, he doesn't speak Ukrainian. Pretty

965
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: sure he doesn't. Pretty sure, Hunter Biden doesn't speak any Ukrainian. Notice,

966
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: how there's still a defensiveness that was Pambondi talking about

967
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: how this whole Hunter Biden on the board of Arhism

968
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 1: is completely absurd, and liberals just pretend like it's not.

969
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: The Libs act like there's nothing to see here. There's

970
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: everything to see here. This is now the standard. Remember

971
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 1: they also have spent so much time and you know

972
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 1: this is important context for this raising how dare and

973
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,800
Speaker 1: this is a real thing. How there are diplomats who

974
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,359
Speaker 1: buy food at Trump Hotel, a place where I've hung

975
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 1: out a lot, where they have fantastic hanging bacon strips

976
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: where they take a little flame gun out I guess

977
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: a flamethrower. I don't know what, a little whatever you

978
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 1: call it. It looks like it's a little fiery thing

979
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: that comes out of a can and a blowtorch. There

980
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: we go, a flame thingy. So yeah, they take a

981
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: blowtorch and they do The bacon strip's very much worth it.

982
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: If you ever go down there. That's that's the best

983
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: the food. Other than that, I'm gonna tell you it

984
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: is pretty mediocre, but the bacon's excellent. I actually saw

985
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: a recipe last night that uses interwoven strips of crispy

986
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 1: bacon instead of a bun bam, hashtag paleo, hashtag gluten free.

987
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: But there were all these stories. The Washingtonost run them.

988
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: Other places would run them about how there were diplomats

989
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 1: who were buying cheeseburgers at Trump Hotel or whatever and

990
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,399
Speaker 1: having a beer, having glass of wine, and how that's

991
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 1: a violation of the Emolument's clause because by spending money,

992
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: and these are real stories, by spending money. The Washington

993
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 1: Post ran this at Trump Hotel, they were perhaps currying

994
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 1: favor with the president, and you'd say, to yourself, hold

995
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 1: on a second. They spend a few hundred thousand dollars

996
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:13,760
Speaker 1: from twenty different countries on product at a commercial enterprise

997
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: that has food costs, that has labor costs, and they

998
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: think that they're gonna sway Trump on foreign policy or

999
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: something with this. This would this would be like someone saying, Hey,

1000
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm really worried that someone walked up to the president

1001
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: gave him five bucks and was like, I need I

1002
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: need you to, you know, stop backing Ukraine against Russia.

1003
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: You know, But they gave him five bucks, So I

1004
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: think he's probably gonna I think he's probably gonna come

1005
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: up to my side of this. Thing. It's it's it's again.

1006
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: It's preposterous. They keep making all these preposterous arguments, and

1007
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 1: then they expect us to take them seriously when they

1008
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 1: make a new preposterous argument. No, I'd rather not have

1009
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: that approach. I'd rather not accept that. I refuse in

1010
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: the fact to to accept it. But the Hunter Biden

1011
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: thing is not going away anytime soon, because it also

1012
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: is an issue of corruption. Corruption. The Democrats pretend they

1013
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 1: give all these speeches, all this oh my gosh, all

1014
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: these speeches about how sad they are about money and

1015
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: politics and how unfair it is that there's all these

1016
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 1: special interests, and then their kids all just get completely

1017
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: Democrat politicians. Kids get the complete white glove treatment from

1018
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: the media in with whatever things that they do. I mean,

1019
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: the fact that I'm supposed to listen to Hillary in

1020
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: the starting out, Hillary hollow, the fact that I'm supposed

1021
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: to listen to Chelsea Clinton. Chelsea Clinton has never had

1022
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: a real job. It's never had a real job, never

1023
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: showed up to a job where she could realistically be

1024
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: fired for underperformance or not showing up because of who

1025
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 1: mommy and daddy is. Now I'm online. If you know

1026
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 1: if my mommy and daddy were so rich and powerful

1027
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 1: that I could just like move from one place to another,

1028
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 1: can't get fired, get paid a lot of money. You know,

1029
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: NBC paid Chelsea Clinton for I think it was twenty

1030
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: minutes of actual on air work, and she was horrible

1031
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: at it, by the way, as somebody who's also in

1032
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: the business. I think they paid her almost seven hundred

1033
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Yeah, that's good. That's good work. If for

1034
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 1: twenty minutes of work on air, that's good work if

1035
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,919
Speaker 1: you can get it. You know, NBC News, they really,

1036
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 1: they're really watching every penny over there. Huh. No, again,

1037
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: that's not illegal. It's gross, though, And I don't have

1038
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: to listen. I don't have to accept the narrative being

1039
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: pushed by the rest of the liberal media that, oh, now,

1040
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 1: because she's a Clinton, this is somebody who I should

1041
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 1: have to listen to. Right, we can push back against

1042
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 1: these says. No, I'm sorry, it's it's it's gross. It's gross.

1043
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't like nepotism. Not gonna lie. That could be

1044
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: a problem for me down the line with some other

1045
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 1: things going on in the Republican Party as we know.

1046
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: But I do not like nepotism. I do not approve

1047
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: of it. I do not defend it is not something

1048
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: that and you know our side people like it sometimes

1049
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 1: when it's on our side. And no, no, no, if

1050
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 1: we're going to talk principles, we got to keep those

1051
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: principles clear, gotta keep them consistent. I'll leave that one

1052
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 1: for now. Then we just get to does Mazie Horono

1053
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: really know anything? That's a that's a fair question, I ask.

1054
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: I think I've told you before, and I don't don't.

1055
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: I don't say it out of not trying to be mean,

1056
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 1: but does Mazie Horono know anything? Because when she talks

1057
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: on television, I find myself asking a question, how is

1058
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: this person of the United States Senator? And I really

1059
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: I just and not that I think the other senators

1060
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 1: are so impressive, and I think Schumer is calculating and cunning.

1061
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: I think sam could be said of Pelosi. But you know,

1062
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 1: none of them are great intellectuals, and certainly none of

1063
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 1: them have any moral fiber or character worth talking about.

1064
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: But the people of Hawaii, I just I don't know,

1065
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 1: whis such a beautiful place the people of Hawaii? What

1066
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: is it that makes them think yeah, I want this

1067
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 1: person to represent my state. Would you play clip sixteen please,

1068
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 1: producer Mark. They're making the argument, basically, especially Josh Wish,

1069
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: that an abusive power is not in teachable offense. I

1070
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: don't know of any other real constitutional scholar who agrees

1071
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 1: with Josh Wits, But that kind of argument says that

1072
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: you think that this president truly can do anything he

1073
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: wants under Article two of the Constitution, which is the

1074
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 1: president's position, and these kinds of arguments enable him to

1075
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 1: hold to that position. It's really what I call the

1076
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 1: he did it, so what? Defense, and that's what the

1077
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: Republicans may ultimately hang their hats on. Even if they're

1078
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 1: they hear from Bolton, which is pretty damning testimony, they

1079
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: just alike to all the things that the President has

1080
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: been saying and pushing out what I call big cya

1081
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 1: arguments about his explanation for the whole then I think

1082
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: that you know, they're going to be left with, yeah,

1083
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: he did it so what. I don't think the country

1084
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 1: is going to buy that. What the heck was that?

1085
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 1: Anybody know? What was that all about? Huh? The president

1086
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 1: says he can do anything. The President's defense is very

1087
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 1: specific on things he did or did not do. The

1088
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 1: president's defense is not he can do anything, and I

1089
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 1: just who knows more about constitutional law? Alan Dershowitz or

1090
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: Amazing Herono. I think we could all make a pretty

1091
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 1: good determination of that one. Ah, it's amazing by the

1092
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 1: way Joe Biden is. I know, I'm not going to

1093
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 1: get too much more into the Hunter Biden thing. I

1094
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 1: got other things I want to talk to you about

1095
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 1: as well today. But Joe Biden kind of let everyone

1096
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: know exactly what's going on here when he says that,

1097
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 1: you know, the press, the press corps, the press has

1098
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,479
Speaker 1: got my back in this whole process. We know they do, Joe.

1099
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 1: We're not surprised to hear that, because one would think

1100
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: that Hunter Biden, who I think it was the Waldorf

1101
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: in New York by the way, I'd said the Waldorf

1102
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills, but it's the Waldorf in New York

1103
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 1: in a very fancy places. He's driving around in a

1104
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 1: Porsche and initially was saying that he wasn't going to

1105
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 1: pay paternity hey, because he had a child with a

1106
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 1: stripper and exotic answer. Perhaps if you prefer that nomenclature,

1107
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: you know that you would think that this would be

1108
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 1: kind of a bigger deal because we have not just

1109
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 1: the wayward son of Joe Biden here, who is at

1110
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 1: the center of this now conspiracy, This this whole issue

1111
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 1: of whether or not the president should be impeached removed

1112
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 1: from office. A Hunter Biden judgment would seem to matter

1113
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 1: a whole lot. You know, Hunter Biden is not is

1114
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: not a smooth operator. He's not a guy that you

1115
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 1: can count on to make the right decision. That's putting

1116
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 1: it mildly. But the press is not interested at all.

1117
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not interested in really tracking down what

1118
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 1: did or did not happen in Ukraine. They don't want

1119
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: to run stories on the corruption that seemed to be

1120
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 1: happening not just at Barisma, but more generally in the

1121
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: in the energy sector in Ukraine. Here's what Here's what

1122
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: Joe Biden says though, about his buddies in the press

1123
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: who have got his back play twenty Presidents can't hold gredges.

1124
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 1: These guys are attacking me and my fa get it,

1125
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: and the press corps with me. They're all good people.

1126
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 1: Follow me. They keep asking me, you know, they just

1127
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: brought up your son Hunter, and they're doing this and that.

1128
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 1: The other thing. Well, guess what, I don't hold grudges

1129
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 1: because presidents can't hold grudges. Presidents have to be fighters,

1130
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 1: but they also have to be healers. Yeah, that's what

1131
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: the Democrats want to do. They want to heal the country.

1132
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 1: They want to heal the country by undoing the twenty

1133
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 1: sixteen vote before we can have another vote to ratify that.

1134
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 1: Those of us who voted for Trump in twenty sixteen

1135
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 1: feel even better about it now than we ever have.

1136
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: That's certainly the case with me. With each passing year

1137
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 1: it's been it's been an even better investment decision to

1138
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: vote for Donald Trump with each passing year. I don't

1139
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 1: mean investment financial, if that's true too. I just mean

1140
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: you're even more certain all that decision with each passing year.

1141
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 1: You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton

1156
01:05:56,720 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: his thing. WHOA, I gotta tell you that was like,

1157
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: that was a real moment when the New York Times

1158
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: asks all these different um all these different Democrat contenders,

1159

01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 1: Laura Dern, is that the same par I don't even

1165
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,840

01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 1: I love you how much? Man? Meeting one, I was

1184
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: gonna ask a question, but I don't. I don't think

1185
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 1: I can go on from here. Just I was gonna

1186
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 1: say Bernie wasn't in that video. What's his celebrity crush?

1187
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's a good one. Um, I gotta

1188
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: think who would be Who would be the Bernie Sanders crush.

1189
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: Perhaps the early Soviet slash communist Rosa Luxembourg. I don't know.

1190
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 1: We'd have to think, could that be it? Maybe the

1191
01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: marvelous missus maizel Um. She's beautiful. Yeah, that sounds like

1192
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 1: that's that says she's incredible. I mean, I'm a I like,

1193
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: what's her name? But I don't know her actual name.

1194
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 1: I just trying to think of an old lady communist,

1195
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: and Rosa Luxembourg was the first one who came. Now.

1196
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 1: I think she's technically I just think any old lady

1197
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 1: would work in this situation. Yeah, I don't know. I

1198
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: don't know who. I don't know who Bernie Sanders would

1199
01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 1: go for. I would be curious to see who he

1200
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: comes up with, though. Um, And for those who are

1201
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: wondering at Rosa Luxemburg was a libertarian Marxist from eighteen

1202
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 1: seventy one to nineteen nineteen. And she's a socialist. Yeah,

1203
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:37,840
Speaker 1: there you go. So that was the only socialist I

1204
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 1: could think of from back in the day, who's a

1205
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 1: lady off the top? I had not a lot of

1206
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 1: really famous female socialists, so that's all I had on

1207
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, I feel like females weren't in power

1208
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 1: when socialism was a big thing. That's probably true. Yeah, yeah,

1209
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 1: that's a good point. I didn't even have the vote

1210
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 1: in this country really, so at least when socialism is

1211
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 1: getting started. So anyway, UM, celebrity crushes. Uh, let's see

1212
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: what we have here, Um celebrity crushes. I think the

1213
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: best one was clearly The Rock um Laurena der I

1214
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 1: mean the best in terms of, like, what was the

1215
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 1: most amusing for us here in the studio. Uh. Yeah,

1216
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I think The Rock did a

1217
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 1: The Rock probably should reach out. He's occasionally active on

1218
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 1: Twitter and has something to say to us, something to

1219
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:27,759
Speaker 1: say to those who reach out to him. People always

1220
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 1: talking about The Rock maybe running for president, if you remember,

1221
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 1: that was a thing that came up for a while.

1222
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 1: I think i'd vote for him. I don't know. He's

1223
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 1: a very charismatic fellow. He's a very I'm thinking right

1224
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 1: now about all that, you know, I could talk about

1225
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:42,720
Speaker 1: how Elizabeth Warren finds him so charismatic too. But I

1226
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 1: think the other one, the other one that the other

1227
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:50,759
Speaker 1: one that I had was was Alicia Keys from Tom Steyer.

1228
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 1: I just thought that's a random like, like, I mean, fine, yeah,

1229
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:00,120
Speaker 1: but it's just like Tom Steyer who goes with Alicia Keys.

1230
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, yeah, I just he's such a he's

1231
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 1: such a nerd, that guy. And it turns out, you know,

1232
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 1: you look more into his past financially and like he

1233
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 1: founded a bank that's been really rough on low income people.

1234
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:14,600
Speaker 1: And I think that this whole climate change thing is

1235
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:17,719
Speaker 1: he's a billionaire who's trying to trying to pay off,

1236
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 1: you know, the sins of the past of how he

1237
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,640
Speaker 1: became a billionaire. He's a very guilty conscience billionaire for

1238
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 1: whatever reason. But now I have to ask Producer Mark,

1239
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: does Missus Mark allow you to answer the question who

1240
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,679
Speaker 1: the celebrity crushes? Oh, it's my wife, obviously, Producer Mark.

1241
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 1: That is the only correct? Was there one before she

1242
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: was missus Producer Mark? I always for some reason said me, Lacunas, Okay, yeah, respectable, Ye,

1243
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 1: who's mine? Jessica Beale? We all already know that correct correct,

1244
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 1: even though there was that whole anti vax thing that

1245
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:47,799
Speaker 1: came up out there. Hey yeah, I didn't see. Hey, nobody,

1246
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 1: nobody's perfect. Nobody's perfect. Jessica call me. I know her

1247
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:54,760
Speaker 1: and I was very married. Yeah, I know. I know.

1248
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 1: He's super rich and famous whatever and the rich famous attractive. Yeah,

1249
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: I run the freedom. Thanks for listening to The Bus

1252
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 1: continued investigation about just what happened and what went wrong.

1253
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 1: It led to the tragedy over the weekend of that

1254
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:25,520
Speaker 1: helicopter going down and killing nine people, Kobe Bryant, his daughter, Gianna,

1255
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 1: another husband, wife, and daughter. I think, I mean, the

1256
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 1: whole thing, it's just is absolutely horrific. And I didn't

1257
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 1: want to on the first day we talked about I

1258
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 1: didn't want to get into this. Although it did happen

1259
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 1: right away, there is the media reaction to this, and

1260
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 1: there were some very well, let's just say noteworthy for now,

1261
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 1: media reactions to what happened. First of all, that that TMZ,

1262
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:51,759
Speaker 1: which is a gossip site, a celebrity gossip site, broke

1263
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: the news before Bryant's family or other families were able

1264
01:11:56,160 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 1: to be notified. Is that raises some very very clear

1265
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:04,639
Speaker 1: questions about, you know, journalistic ethics. Does anyone really think

1266
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 1: that it's right for someone to find out that their father,

1267
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 1: their brother, their mother, their sister, husband, wife, etc. Died

1268
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 1: suddenly by seeing it on Twitter. That's a part of

1269
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 1: this discussion that I didn't get into quite yet. And

1270
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:25,680
Speaker 1: then there's also how do journalists respond when something like

1271
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:29,639
Speaker 1: this happened? How do people who claim that their their job,

1272
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 1: their life's work, their profession which gets them up every

1273
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: day is about bringing information to people, how do they

1274
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 1: react when this kind of a tragedy occurs. Well, we

1275
01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:42,400
Speaker 1: have one one instance that certainly has gotten a lot

1276
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 1: of attention. A Washington Post reporter right after Kobe Bryant,

1277
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 1: right after the news broth that Kobe Bryant died, she

1278
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 1: shared the following tweet, Kobe Bryant's disturbing rape case, The

1279
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: DNA evidenced the accuser story and the half confession. It

1280
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 1: was a piece from the Daily Beast, and she shared

1281
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 1: it right as this man was. I mean, they have

1282
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: they had quite literally not retrieved the bodies yet and

1283
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: given the reality here of what occurred, they believe that

1284
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 1: helicopter was going I heard today up to one hundred

1285
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,720
Speaker 1: and eighty miles an hour and it collided into the

1286
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 1: side of a mountain. There were much more pressing, much

1287
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:28,640
Speaker 1: more important things for people to be considering at that

1288
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:34,839
Speaker 1: moment of extreme grief than sharing an old story about

1289
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant that was clearly going to set off a

1290
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: lot of people under the circumstances. Now, I'm not saying

1291
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 1: that you can, ever you should wipe a figures background

1292
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 1: clean just because they die. That's not that's not the

1293
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 1: standard that we're trying to set up here, but it

1294
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:01,040
Speaker 1: is I think understandable for people to want to have

1295
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:03,640
Speaker 1: some space for grieving when you when a figure like

1296
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:06,559
Speaker 1: this who did a lot of good for a lot

1297
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 1: of people and inspired a lot of people. And that

1298
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 1: was why I wanted to focus on that in the

1299
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 1: first day. And I will say, there's a video that's

1300
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 1: going around right now of a reporter, of a sports

1301
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:20,679
Speaker 1: reporter or a female journalist sports journalist about the one

1302
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 1: time she met Kobe Bryant. I have to tell you,

1303
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 1: usually when people have the after a death of a figure,

1304
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 1: like this. I mean, I remember after Andrew Breitbart very

1305
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:32,559
Speaker 1: suddenly passed away, I was on TV and I was asked,

1306
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 1: you know, do you have you know, everyone was going

1307
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 1: around the table. I was with a bunch of people.

1308
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 1: This is back in the real news days, and they

1309
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:41,200
Speaker 1: were all telling stories about their experiences with Andrew Britbart.

1310
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:44,000
Speaker 1: And I had never met Andrew Breitbart, so I just said,

1311
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 1: I wish, you know, I thoughts and prayers for his family.

1312
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean, but I don't have a story to share.

1313
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 1: And I think that sometimes people get dragged into or

1314
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:56,720
Speaker 1: that they feel a pressure to tell some kind of

1315
01:14:56,720 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 1: a personal anecdote about a person like this, a public

1316
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 1: figure like this, because everyone is doing it. This woman

1317
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:04,679
Speaker 1: told the story but the one time she met Kobe Bryant,

1318
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:07,760
Speaker 1: and it's really touching, actually it was. It was incredibly

1319
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:11,360
Speaker 1: earnest and well done and worth hearing about how he

1320
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 1: was a girl dad. That's how Kobe Bryant described himself,

1321
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:16,720
Speaker 1: because he was so proud of being a dad of

1322
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 1: I think three girls and wish that he could have

1323
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:21,680
Speaker 1: five more. And you know, it was just a It's

1324
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 1: a really inspiring message and it's something that I think

1325
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:25,479
Speaker 1: if you get the chance on we don't have it

1326
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 1: here almost show today, but if you get the chance,

1327
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:33,519
Speaker 1: it's worth it's worth hearing to rush out there when

1328
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:36,439
Speaker 1: someone has when there's been a tragedy like this, and

1329
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:38,880
Speaker 1: to share a new story that first of all, he

1330
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:42,479
Speaker 1: was never a gami. It was never adjudicated in criminal court.

1331
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 1: We do believe still somewhat in the presumption of innocence

1332
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 1: as certainly as a legal matter, but also as it

1333
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:51,720
Speaker 1: affects people's public reputations, and I think that that has

1334
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 1: to be taken into account. Felicious Omez was in a

1335
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:02,880
Speaker 1: whole lot of hot water after tweeting that because of

1336
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 1: the outrage on the internet. Here's what she responded to.

1337
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:10,240
Speaker 1: Here's how she responded thirty nine minutes after sharing this. So,

1338
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 1: so Kobe Bryant and his daughter die, seven other people dead,

1339
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 1: fire wreckage of a helicopter crash. People are just processing

1340
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:19,040
Speaker 1: this and she says, oh, yeah, I remember that story

1341
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 1: about Kobe Bryant being a rapists. That's effectively what this

1342
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 1: Washington Post reporter decided to do. And then when she

1343
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:31,200
Speaker 1: got the backlash, which I think anybody would expect would happen,

1344
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 1: she wrote, well, that was eye opening. To the ten

1345
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 1: thousand people literally who have commented and emailed me with

1346
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:42,000
Speaker 1: abuse and death threats, please take a moment and read

1347
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 1: the story, which was written three plus years ago and

1348
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 1: not by me. Any public figure is worth remembering in

1349
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 1: their totality. Yeah, it was a three plus year old story.

1350
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 1: So the first Kobe Bryant dies, the first thing this

1351
01:16:55,200 --> 01:17:01,080
Speaker 1: Washington Post reporter does is find the most, the most

1352
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, damning, the worst moment effectively of Kobe Bryant's

1353
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:08,360
Speaker 1: public life and share that. And it just felt like

1354
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:15,719
Speaker 1: this is an incredibly poor judgment from this reporter, She continued,

1355
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 1: even if that public figure is beloved, and that's totally unsettling.

1356
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 1: The folks are responding with rage and threats toward me.

1357
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:27,559
Speaker 1: Someone who didn't even write the piece but found it

1358
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:31,240
Speaker 1: well reported, speaks volumes about the pressure people come under

1359
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:35,640
Speaker 1: to stay silent in these cases. Well, the rape allegation

1360
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 1: was not the news story the day that he died

1361
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 1: with his daughter in a helicopter crash. Right, The rape

1362
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:45,480
Speaker 1: allegation had been the story over I think over fifteen

1363
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 1: over fifteen years ago, and it did seem too many

1364
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 1: people understandably that that Felicia Sunmez of the Washington Post

1365
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 1: was unwilling to extend even a little bit of just

1366
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 1: considered a little a little bit of good faith leeway

1367
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 1: to Kobe Bryant family members, fans, friends, to grieve a

1368
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:09,640
Speaker 1: bit before we have to go into the you know,

1369
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 1: we can have this referendum or we have not referendum.

1370
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 1: Have this referencing back to Kobe Bryant's life and you know,

1371
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 1: the ups and the ups and downs and all the

1372
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,680
Speaker 1: things that people can and will discuss about about a

1373
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:24,320
Speaker 1: public figure like this. I think it's interesting that the

1374
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 1: Washington Post suspended her because of this. They suspended her,

1375
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:31,320
Speaker 1: but I don't think the Washington Post suspended her because

1376
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: that they would extend this sense of basic decency from

1377
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 1: reporters in the immediate aftermath. I mean, I'm just gonna

1378
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:42,679
Speaker 1: say it. I think that if a Republican of any

1379
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:46,200
Speaker 1: anyone who's associated with the with the right and Republicanism

1380
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 1: died in a in a plane crash, helicopter crash, car crash,

1381
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 1: you name it, that a Washington Post reporter would be

1382
01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 1: able to say, well, look at how this person was

1383
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 1: really you know, supporting white nationalists with this legislation or

1384
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:01,960
Speaker 1: in a right away just just bash the person. Kobe Bryant,

1385
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 1: international superstar, beloved by you know, hundreds of millions of

1386
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:11,560
Speaker 1: people really around the world. There's a special protection that

1387
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:14,719
Speaker 1: has afforded his legacy by the Washington Post. And also

1388
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:18,519
Speaker 1: I think a response to market forces here where people

1389
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 1: look at the Post and they say, really, these are

1390
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:23,639
Speaker 1: the kind of people that you employ. You employ people

1391
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 1: who are willing to trash a man as his body

1392
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:28,519
Speaker 1: and his daughter's body have not even been retrieved from

1393
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: the crash site. And you know that's and then you

1394
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 1: also get into when is a public figure? How does

1395
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:41,519
Speaker 1: a public figure receive any any grace or forgiveness after

1396
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 1: they pass away for incidents where there is still a

1397
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:47,560
Speaker 1: dispute as to what happened like this, you know, I

1398
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,400
Speaker 1: you know, the circumstances of this, I don't remember all

1399
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 1: and I could go back and read it. I haven't

1400
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 1: yet all of the details of the case, but I

1401
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 1: do remember when it first happened, and you know, the

1402
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:00,960
Speaker 1: circumstances of it were certainly in dispute. Kobe Bryant never

1403
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 1: never admitted to knowingly sexually assaulting someone, this young woman

1404
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 1: at this employee of a Now he was a married

1405
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:11,639
Speaker 1: man at the time. I mean, there's this whole other

1406
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:14,760
Speaker 1: component of why was he having sex, even if it

1407
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 1: was consensual sex with a nineteen year old girl when

1408
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:19,519
Speaker 1: he's got a wife and several children at home. That's

1409
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:25,120
Speaker 1: another part of the story. But you know, this is

1410
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 1: this is where we have to as a society start

1411
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:30,880
Speaker 1: to understand what the boundaries are, what the acceptable you know,

1412
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:34,160
Speaker 1: where does discourse go about a public figure like this

1413
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 1: after he is gone? Could be he or she depending

1414
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 1: on the circumstances. But this is obviously Kobe Bryant's life

1415
01:20:39,360 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 1: we're discussing, and do we you know, what happens is

1416
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 1: does this person always live with the asterisk of what

1417
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:49,680
Speaker 1: it's just effectively an accusation. It's one thing, I mean,

1418
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 1: if it's proven in court. I mean, but Mike Tyson,

1419
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:56,559
Speaker 1: for example, another sports hero who has a who has

1420
01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:59,679
Speaker 1: a rape conviction, not just a rape allegation, rape conviction

1421
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 1: on his record. He's gone around and tried to make

1422
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 1: public amends for this and what he says he served

1423
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 1: his debt to society. He's tried to make public amends.

1424
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 1: He's tried to be a better person, a better father,

1425
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 1: you know, is that what what becomes? You know what?

1426
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 1: The day you know, I hope Mike Tyson has a

1427
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 1: rest of long, long and happy life and all that.

1428
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: But the day that Mike Tyson passes is the first

1429
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:24,800
Speaker 1: thing is the first thing that reporters are going to say,

1430
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 1: this guy was it was a rape. Was somebody who

1431
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:32,519
Speaker 1: was credibly accused of and prosecuted for and convicted for

1432
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:36,439
Speaker 1: a rape. How do we view public figures in their

1433
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 1: totality after the fact. It's a complicated question. I don't

1434
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:40,559
Speaker 1: have an answer for you today on this. I just

1435
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 1: know that this one Washington Post reporter found out that

1436
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:46,639
Speaker 1: if nothing else, give the family twenty four or forty

1437
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 1: eight hours degree before you say, oh, yeah, this guy

1438
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 1: was accused of rape. That seems to me to be

1439
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 1: a basic decency. Not that not that it's silenced forever

1440
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 1: and we can't have the discussion, But how about just

1441
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 1: how about a little bit of space for the family

1442
01:22:01,479 --> 01:22:05,559
Speaker 1: and space for friends and other people who who come along.

1443
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:07,639
Speaker 1: And I just say that just you wait and see

1444
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 1: the Washington Post would not extend it. This is a

1445
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:12,960
Speaker 1: protection for Kobe Bryant, for people that are in good

1446
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:15,720
Speaker 1: standing with not just it's not even a left wing thing.

1447
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 1: It's just in good standing with the general culture. And

1448
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant is a cultural icon and not just a

1449
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:24,920
Speaker 1: sports icon. Some Republican, though, meets an end and associated

1450
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 1: with Trump. You know, at some point the future, you

1451
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 1: know someone who's in the Trump orbit or just a Republican.

1452
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:32,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't even matter if it's in the Trump orbit. No, no,

1453
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 1: whatever the worst thing is they can say about him,

1454
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:40,439
Speaker 1: You'll see Washington Post reporters saying it right away. You're

1455
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:44,240
Speaker 1: in the freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

1456
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,960
Speaker 1: You are self proclaimed socialist democrotic. Put in the please

1457
01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:55,040
Speaker 1: thank you. Your agenda has promised free healthcare for everybody,

1458
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:58,439
Speaker 1: free college tuition, and to pay off people's college loans.

1459
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:02,120
Speaker 1: The price tag for that is estimated to be sixty

1460
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 1: trillion dollars over ten years. Correct. Well, look, we have

1461
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:08,840
Speaker 1: political opponents. You don't know. You don't know how much

1462
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:11,599
Speaker 1: you're planning, don't know, nobody knows. This is impossible. You're

1463
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 1: going to propose a plan to the American people. You're

1464
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 1: not gonna tell how much a cost? Of course, will

1465
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:18,240
Speaker 1: you know exactly what healthcare costs will be women in

1466
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:22,080
Speaker 1: the next I don't know what the costs saw who

1467
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:25,519
Speaker 1: knows the costs. It's gonna be really expensive, but it's

1468
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 1: gonna be great. A few things here about Bernie Sanders.

1469
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:31,479
Speaker 1: One is that we have to take very seriously that

1470
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:34,519
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders can in fact become the Democrat nominee for president.

1471
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 1: I think that we're getting really close to that. Look,

1472
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 1: he was second place in twenty sixteen. It kind of

1473
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:43,360
Speaker 1: makes sense when you think about it. And I would

1474
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:46,839
Speaker 1: also tell you that I think the election that America

1475
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: should see here, I mean the real matchup, the one

1476
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 1: that would have meaning about the direction of this country,

1477
01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:56,800
Speaker 1: is Donald Trump versus Bernie Sanders. And I'm not saying

1478
01:23:56,840 --> 01:23:58,760
Speaker 1: that that would be better for Trump or better for Sanding.

1479
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:01,720
Speaker 1: I'm not even just the matchup. If you're looking at

1480
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:06,720
Speaker 1: what would really be significant about the direction of the

1481
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 1: United States of America in twenty twenty, I can't believe

1482
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 1: it's twenty twenty. Keep running twenty nineteen on everything, it

1483
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:17,679
Speaker 1: would be it would be Bernie Sanders versus Donald Trump,

1484
01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 1: and I think Trump wins on that one. I think

1485
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders is in a lot of ways somewhat untested.

1486
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:28,680
Speaker 1: I think that he hasn't received the kind of criticism

1487
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 1: from Democrats that he would receive from Trump along the way.

1488
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:37,519
Speaker 1: The Bernie Bros, the Bernie fans are are psychotically devoted

1489
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:40,600
Speaker 1: to this guy. I mean they Bernie does have a

1490
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:43,080
Speaker 1: cult like status around him. Not for all of his supporters,

1491
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 1: but there's definitely a group of them who really believe

1492
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:50,040
Speaker 1: that he's a Look, he's a political revolutionary in a

1493
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 1: sense who wants to dramatically change this country. Okay, well,

1494
01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:59,800
Speaker 1: if that's the case, then we should really understand what

1495
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 1: today is that he's going to transform the country into.

1496
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:04,720
Speaker 1: And that's why when he's asked questions about what will

1497
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 1: your plan cost, and he goes through the court, whatever cost.

1498
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:11,519
Speaker 1: It's very expensive. But the millionaires and the billionaires don'll

1499
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:15,600
Speaker 1: pay for it. No, we're all going to pay for it.

1500
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 1: It's going to be incredibly expensive to do what he

1501
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:19,880
Speaker 1: wants to do. Expensive on a scale that we have

1502
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:23,200
Speaker 1: never seen before. And we're talking about spending money at

1503
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 1: least in overall numbers, in just raw numbers that I

1504
01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:29,200
Speaker 1: don't know if it's ever been done before. And he's

1505
01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:31,040
Speaker 1: just suggesting that this is going to be the way

1506
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:33,559
Speaker 1: that we move forward. I mean, look, Bernie Sanders been

1507
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 1: a senator from Vermont, a state with a population of

1508
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 1: like a couple of million, not a very big place,

1509
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:43,160
Speaker 1: not a place of tremendous economic dynamism. No offensive Vermont.

1510
01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 1: I'll actually really like it as a place to visit.

1511
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:50,759
Speaker 1: But Bernie Sanders taken over the country as the leader

1512
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: of the executive branch is something that we need to

1513
01:25:54,400 --> 01:26:00,960
Speaker 1: really understand. Could happen. This could happen, and that would

1514
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:04,960
Speaker 1: be something that the folks who are generally thinking that

1515
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 1: politics does not really move the needle all that much

1516
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:09,559
Speaker 1: for your life one way or the other. You know,

1517
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 1: I believe there's there's a general sense among many of

1518
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:14,400
Speaker 1: us who either care a little bit or a lot

1519
01:26:14,439 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 1: about politics that you know, it's kind of just we

1520
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 1: kind of just muddle along. We kind of just it's

1521
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:21,840
Speaker 1: all gonna happen the way that it happens, and you know,

1522
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 1: some good decisions and bad decisions, but America's American will

1523
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 1: all be fine. I mean, for America to elect someone

1524
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 1: who claims to be a democratic, who is a democratic socialist,

1525
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:36,840
Speaker 1: and notice how he hones in on that the Democratic

1526
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:43,680
Speaker 1: socialist democratic socialist. Well, okay, so what mister Maduro is

1527
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 1: a democratic socialist. You know, the the socialists of the

1528
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 1: Soviet Union all they all thought, I mean, they didn't

1529
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:53,680
Speaker 1: have elections, but they all thought that they were representing

1530
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:58,800
Speaker 1: the will of the people. The whole point is that

1531
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 1: there is socialism which centralized planning and state control and

1532
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:06,360
Speaker 1: state direction of not just you know, when you can

1533
01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: direct the economy and all economic activity, you're also going

1534
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 1: to be involved in people's lives and ways where you

1535
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 1: have far too much authority, where the state has far

1536
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:17,439
Speaker 1: too much power, And that's ultimately the problem that we're

1537
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:20,280
Speaker 1: going to face with a Bernie Sanders presidency. You know

1538
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:26,639
Speaker 1: that socialism at its core has to have an authoritarian streak,

1539
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:31,479
Speaker 1: if not be outright authoritarian, because it's not individuals making

1540
01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:33,880
Speaker 1: free it's not individuals with the freedom to make their

1541
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:38,559
Speaker 1: own decisions engage in a market of conduct where they

1542
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 1: will they make their own determinations about what's going to happen.

1543
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:44,719
Speaker 1: In socialism, it's we think, we the people in charge,

1544
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:47,479
Speaker 1: we the people that have the power, think that this

1545
01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:49,559
Speaker 1: is what should happen. Therefore it will happen the way

1546
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 1: we wanted to That is their approach, and that's markedly

1547
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 1: different than what we've seen in this country for a

1548
01:27:56,520 --> 01:28:00,000
Speaker 1: very long time. This would be a leap into these

1549
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:02,599
Speaker 1: socialist abyss. Make no mistake about it. A Bernie Sanders

1550
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 1: presidency would not be something that you can just say,

1551
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:07,639
Speaker 1: all right, item's going to hunker down and wait four years.

1552
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 1: You know, what will it mean to your four oh

1553
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:15,360
Speaker 1: one k, your healthcare, your retirement, your home value. You know?

1554
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,640
Speaker 1: A Bernie Sanders presidency would be a dramatic shift in

1555
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 1: a way that I'll be honest with you, I don't

1556
01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:24,800
Speaker 1: think a Biden presidency poses the same risks. I think

1557
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:31,879
Speaker 1: that Biden gives us incremental traditional incremental democrat socialism. Bernie

1558
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:35,160
Speaker 1: Sanders is like jumping into the deep end of the

1559
01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 1: pool right away. On democratic socialism, Bernie Sanders is let's

1560
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:41,320
Speaker 1: go all. And for those who say, oh buck, but

1561
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:45,360
Speaker 1: the Congress, the Congress has to go along with this too, well,

1562
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:49,080
Speaker 1: let's remember Elizabeth Warren's already saying that student loans will

1563
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:51,880
Speaker 1: just be forgiven as an executive order through the Department

1564
01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:56,200
Speaker 1: of Education. Think of the ways that Bernie Sanders, especially

1565
01:28:56,600 --> 01:29:00,479
Speaker 1: given the reluctance of conservative judges to do universal junctions

1566
01:29:00,479 --> 01:29:03,759
Speaker 1: and tie up a Democrat president. Look look at Obama

1567
01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:05,800
Speaker 1: tie up a Democrat president the way they'll tie up

1568
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:11,120
Speaker 1: President Trump. Think about what Bernie Sanders, just as as president,

1569
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 1: can do that would damage the economy and would have

1570
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:17,799
Speaker 1: a real effect on your life, regardless of who controls Congress.

1576
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:53,040
Speaker 1: like half of a shaved head and a long hair

1577
01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 1: and the cigarette dangling out of his mouth was considered

1578
01:29:55,520 --> 01:30:00,680
Speaker 1: a world famous musician. It's involved aroun Just now it's

1579
01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:03,600
Speaker 1: just like house and tech name music. I think I

Speaker 1: hurt us? He actually his face a stay puff marshmallow man.

1583
01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:17,160
Speaker 1: He wears like a big marshmallow head. Nobody's ever seen

1584
01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:19,880
Speaker 1: his face? Are you serious? But I'm completely serious? Do

1585
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:23,160
Speaker 1: you remember who's the guy who wore the big mouse helmet.

1586
01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:26,559
Speaker 1: I think that was a VICI. Now it wasn't a VICI,

1587
01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:28,519
Speaker 1: but you're close. It was another There was another guy

1588
01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:31,680
Speaker 1: who had the mouse help. Um, you know what I'm talking.

1589
01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:33,599
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking dead mouse, dead man dead.

1590
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:37,479
Speaker 1: That makes sense, Yeah, yeah, dead mouse. Um, so yeah,

1591
01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:39,040
Speaker 1: I remember that was a big That was a big thing.

1592
01:30:39,080 --> 01:30:40,840
Speaker 1: Every every I feel like every five years or so,

1593
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:45,559
Speaker 1: people discover they rediscover like super beat, heavy electric music

1594
01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:49,080
Speaker 1: and everyone goes, oh, it's amazing. But anyway, I digress.

1595
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:51,519
Speaker 1: Speaking of things. You know what I watched last night,

1596
01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:52,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you. Watch a little bit of it.

1597
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:56,800
Speaker 1: What Buck the Bachelor. I was curious. Look, I'm figuring

1598
01:30:56,840 --> 01:30:58,599
Speaker 1: maybe I gotta pick up some tips or something, because

1599
01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:01,840
Speaker 1: I actually have a lot em on like male friends. Yeah,

1600
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:04,599
Speaker 1: the wife is very big into it. This is my thing,

1601
01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:06,840
Speaker 1: and I wish maybe, you know, I think we'll have

1602
01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:10,240
Speaker 1: we might have a couple of our colleagues from the

1603
01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:12,840
Speaker 1: first some of our new female contributors, and maybe we'll

1604
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:14,559
Speaker 1: ask some of them about this, because I really do

1605
01:31:14,720 --> 01:31:17,280
Speaker 1: I don't understand why women like the show because it's

1606
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 1: a guy who's got all these women who are competing

1607
01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:27,719
Speaker 1: for his attention in a way that is completely absurd

1608
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:31,320
Speaker 1: compared to the way things going really, which is yeah,

1609
01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:32,760
Speaker 1: I don't I don't even mess with that. I don't

1610
01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:34,320
Speaker 1: even know what that is. I can't. I mean watching

1611
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:36,880
Speaker 1: like fifty dudes trying to get the same thing the opposite. Yeah,

1612
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, I get it. But I'm saying when you

1613
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:41,439
Speaker 1: watch women love The Bachelor, they love this show that

1614
01:31:41,479 --> 01:31:43,360
Speaker 1: I understand why they would love The Bachelor Rex. It's

1615
01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:46,160
Speaker 1: all these guys buying. I don't understand why women like

1616
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:48,280
Speaker 1: a show about and then but you know what, I

1617
01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:51,040
Speaker 1: like Reality Tell there's so much drama though, they just

1618
01:31:51,120 --> 01:31:53,800
Speaker 1: they just make it. Everard's crying. I've heard of watch

1619
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:56,360
Speaker 1: like it's a sitcom. I've been hilarious. It's been on

1620
01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:58,479
Speaker 1: for like twenty years, and so it's this thing and

1621
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:00,320
Speaker 1: I've never really and so I watched a little bit

1622
01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:01,960
Speaker 1: last X. I was just trying to turn my brain

1623
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:04,880
Speaker 1: off and it worked, by the way, and He's there's

1624
01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:07,600
Speaker 1: like I just like, I just talk a why, Like

1625
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:10,960
Speaker 1: you don't like we're on this journey together. I'm like, lady,

1626
01:32:10,960 --> 01:32:12,880
Speaker 1: you've known this guy for like two weeks. And he's

1627
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:14,680
Speaker 1: making out with ten different girls at night, Like, I

1628
01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:17,599
Speaker 1: don't understand how you're so attached. Yeah, watch you just sitdown.

1629
01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:21,080
Speaker 1: It's hilarious. Just like we're just like you don't know me,

1630
01:32:21,320 --> 01:32:23,320
Speaker 1: like the way that I know you, and like we're

1631
01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:25,760
Speaker 1: on this journey and I just like I just want

1632
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:27,880
Speaker 1: to trust in my heart and trust in your heart.

1633
01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:29,800
Speaker 1: And like these girls for these girls like twenty four,

1634
01:32:29,920 --> 01:32:32,839
Speaker 1: twenty five, they're all on it so they can get famous.

1635
01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:35,000
Speaker 1: I get money, and they hear I am talking about it.

1636
01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:37,400
Speaker 1: I know people like bucks, stop talking about the Bachelor.

1637
01:32:37,439 --> 01:32:39,800
Speaker 1: I like I've made the argument. Trying to take up

1638
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:43,240
Speaker 1: some tips. Remember Jersey Shore, Yeah, best sitcome ever made

1639
01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:46,519
Speaker 1: on television. That was a phenomenon for a while. No, Yeah,

1640
01:32:46,640 --> 01:32:50,080
Speaker 1: speaking of DJ's remember that guy he made He made

1641
01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:51,639
Speaker 1: like twenty million a year for a couple of years.

1642
01:32:51,640 --> 01:32:54,360
Speaker 1: He still does. He still tours are maybe not that

1643
01:32:54,439 --> 01:32:56,759
Speaker 1: much money, but like he was me, he was just one.

1644
01:32:57,600 --> 01:32:59,080
Speaker 1: That's one of the best. By the way, I always say,

1645
01:32:59,120 --> 01:33:00,519
Speaker 1: being a TV news anchor, or, if you're like in

1646
01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:02,280
Speaker 1: the right market and have the right setup, you're like

1647
01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:07,439
Speaker 1: an overpaid you know, overpaid in person. But the best

1648
01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:08,600
Speaker 1: job in the world is to be one of these

1649
01:33:08,680 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 1: DJs that makes half a million dollars a night to

1650
01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:12,680
Speaker 1: show up and press press play on their iTunes. That

1651
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:14,840
Speaker 1: that's not exactly what they do. It's kind of what

1652
01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:17,639
Speaker 1: they do. What do they what do they do? Well,

1653
01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:20,400
Speaker 1: they're mixing that. They're like making it live in real time.

1654
01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:22,759
Speaker 1: They don't like. But no, but there's no mix table anymore.

1655
01:33:22,800 --> 01:33:25,479
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about old school DJs scratches and stuff.

1656
01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:27,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking to DJs that get paid, like DJ pauly

1657
01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:31,600
Speaker 1: D or like those guys. They're still doing that. Yeah,

1658
01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:33,599
Speaker 1: I thought they just show up and it's not like

1659
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, you go to a wedding or a bar

1660
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:37,719
Speaker 1: mitzvah and and it's just a guy playing, pressing play

1661
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:40,120
Speaker 1: and changing the songs. That's what I thought they did. Yeah,

1662
01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 1: I made all this money, all right, Well, I learned

1663
01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:45,480
Speaker 1: something new every day, Chuck writes in Team Bucket. iHeartMedia

1664
01:33:45,479 --> 01:33:48,360
Speaker 1: dot Com. But you guys have let us know. I

1665
01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:50,840
Speaker 1: I feel like if we get the audience to to

1666
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:53,160
Speaker 1: push him on this one. I told Producer Mark that

1667
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:56,400
Speaker 1: we got to create a little thing called like you

1668
01:33:56,439 --> 01:33:59,679
Speaker 1: know Marks. You know Producer Mark's corner or something where

1669
01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:01,320
Speaker 1: he ever day he tells us what's on his muck.

1670
01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:03,800
Speaker 1: We literally had this conversation. I said, yes, and then

1671
01:34:03,840 --> 01:34:06,240
Speaker 1: you've forgotten to do it for a week. Well, I

1672
01:34:06,280 --> 01:34:09,000
Speaker 1: mean you're supposed to remind me of things. Otherwise I

1673
01:34:09,040 --> 01:34:11,559
Speaker 1: don't even remember when we have like shows unless you

1674
01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:12,960
Speaker 1: tell me. This is part of your job. What I

1675
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:14,920
Speaker 1: have to text you every morning? Hey, come to work. Yeah,

1676

01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:20,960
Speaker 1: didn't tell me to come up, and we'll come up

1679
01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:22,920
Speaker 1: with a cool name for Producer Marks Corner. And then

1680
01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:24,800
Speaker 1: every day we just started came up with We're just

1681
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:27,120
Speaker 1: a Producer Marks quarter and we're just because you are

1682
01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:28,559
Speaker 1: in a corner over there. I believe in the text

1683
01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:31,479
Speaker 1: you said we would call it the Curmudgeonly Millennial something

1684
01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:33,519
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, but we could do that. What should

1685
01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:35,200
Speaker 1: we just call it? Nobody puts mark in a corner?

1686
01:34:35,439 --> 01:34:39,479
Speaker 1: I mean, if that's what you would like, technically dirty corner,

1687
01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:43,160
Speaker 1: dirty dancing refforts. Um, all right, we'll come up with

1688
01:34:43,160 --> 01:34:44,559

01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:50,280
Speaker 1: mean he's in every day, but officially in some capacity

1691
01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:52,040
Speaker 1: towards the end of the show so you can hear

1692
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:54,679
Speaker 1: what he's thinking about. Um, you know, he can give

1693
01:34:54,680 --> 01:35:00,360
Speaker 1: marital advice, hockey tips, things like that, hockey tips, you know,

1694
01:35:00,439 --> 01:35:03,400
Speaker 1: like you need like kind of good to win. Oh yeah,

1695
01:35:03,400 --> 01:35:05,280
Speaker 1: you know that's They've got a ranger's hat on as

1696
01:35:05,320 --> 01:35:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm talking you. We've also got to get a little

1697
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:09,600
Speaker 1: camera for at least just just a little box. We

1698
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:12,320
Speaker 1: get producer Marks right above. Yeah, we throw on a

1699
01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:14,439
Speaker 1: little GoPro. We'll make it happen. All right, Now we

1700
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:16,519
Speaker 1: get to roll call because I know we already played

1701
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:19,120
Speaker 1: it and we haven't done it yet. Team Bucket, iheartmat

1702
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:20,680
Speaker 1: dot com. If you want to send us emails. We

1703
01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:23,160
Speaker 1: love emails, We love Facebook messages. The thing I love

1704
01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:24,840
Speaker 1: the most is when you get new people to listen

1705
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:28,880
Speaker 1: to the show on Apple podcasts or on the iHeartRadio app.

1706
01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:30,800
Speaker 1: That's the thing that makes me the happiest for those

1707
01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:33,880
Speaker 1: of you listening. But another thing it makes me happy

1708
01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:36,080
Speaker 1: is when you send in Facebook messages and emails and

1709
01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:37,280
Speaker 1: we get to as many of them as we can

1710
01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:41,360
Speaker 1: on the show. All Right, Chuck not to be confused

1711
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:44,840
Speaker 1: with Buck Buck. I know you say so much that

1712
01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:47,519
Speaker 1: that is right. It is hard to keep track. Your

1713
01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:52,200
Speaker 1: comment on retained titles is spot on and a worthwhile

1714
01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:55,639
Speaker 1: reminder of the basis of Americanism. One of the best

1715
01:35:55,720 --> 01:35:59,080
Speaker 1: virtues of the American Revolution is all titles were eliminated,

1716
01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:04,200
Speaker 1: not just of royalty. We avoid it ridiculously pompous revolutionary terms.

1717
01:36:04,520 --> 01:36:09,479
Speaker 1: No comrade, citizen, etc. Simple, straightforward civil language is the

1718
01:36:09,520 --> 01:36:12,679
Speaker 1: American way. It underlines our principle of being created equal

1719
01:36:12,720 --> 01:36:15,880
Speaker 1: before the law and each other. So for us, in

1720
01:36:15,880 --> 01:36:19,800
Speaker 1: a room full of Americans, everyone's properly greeted as mister

1721
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:23,200
Speaker 1: or miss Chuck from Grand Rapids Chuck, thanks so much, man. Yeah,

1722
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:27,120
Speaker 1: obviously I agree with you. I think that we need

1723
01:36:27,160 --> 01:36:29,080
Speaker 1: to stop doing this. I don't know why we still

1724
01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:31,599
Speaker 1: think that it's appropriate. Soul ambassador or soul and so, No,

1725
01:36:31,600 --> 01:36:33,639
Speaker 1: you're not an ambassador. If you're so, ambassador or fine,

1726
01:36:33,640 --> 01:36:36,400
Speaker 1: that's your title. And keep titles. We don't have them anymore,

1727
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:40,240
Speaker 1: you know. I just I don't get that. I don't

1728
01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:45,920
Speaker 1: get that, Mark Buck. Regarding AOC's assertion that Trump is

1729
01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:49,960
Speaker 1: an authoritarian, remember when Trump said that if Congress didn't act,

1730
01:36:50,200 --> 01:36:52,880
Speaker 1: he would remember when he said he had a pen

1731
01:36:53,080 --> 01:36:57,400
Speaker 1: and a phone. That is authoritarian defined, that is tyrannical.

1732
01:36:57,560 --> 01:37:00,360
Speaker 1: But that wasn't Trump, that was Obama. Never mind, she tie,

1733
01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:03,679
Speaker 1: thanks Mark, Yeah, I mean there's clearly a different standard

1734
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:06,360
Speaker 1: media applies to what Trump does and what Obama does.

1735
01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:09,519
Speaker 1: We've known that all along. That's certainly the case, and

1736
01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:12,840
Speaker 1: I just wish that they would give me some examples

1737
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:15,960
Speaker 1: of how Trump is an authoritarian and not just that

1738
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:19,040
Speaker 1: they hate Trump and call them an authoritarian because it

1739
01:37:19,120 --> 01:37:25,920
Speaker 1: sounds scary. Yeah, there should be a little bit more honest,

1740
01:37:26,160 --> 01:37:31,400
Speaker 1: but this is a little more honest about that. Hold

1741
01:37:31,439 --> 01:37:37,000
Speaker 1: on a second. Next up here, Noah, hey Buck, I

1742
01:37:37,040 --> 01:37:38,760
Speaker 1: heard you say that it's sad that Americans who do

1743
01:37:38,800 --> 01:37:43,799
Speaker 1: not know geography. Sad that American do not know geography.

1744
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:46,120
Speaker 1: I would like to say that memorizing geography is so fun.

1745
01:37:46,439 --> 01:37:49,400
Speaker 1: I memorize every state and capital. Then I went and

1746
01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:51,479
Speaker 1: memorize every country and cap in the world, and I

1747
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:54,879
Speaker 1: am fifteen. And it's just sad that politicians are so stupid.

1748
01:37:54,880 --> 01:38:00,519
Speaker 1: Love your show, All right, cool, there we go, Thanks

1749
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:02,760
Speaker 1: so much, Noah. Well the man Noah's fifteen and he's

1750
01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:06,639
Speaker 1: learned every every state capital and every country and every

1751
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:08,920
Speaker 1: country capital. I will say that there was this great

1752
01:38:08,960 --> 01:38:10,680
Speaker 1: game that I used to play with my really my

1753
01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:14,920
Speaker 1: little brother who's super smart um and and a fantastic

1754
01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:18,400
Speaker 1: fellow in every regard. And we used to play this game.

1755
01:38:18,400 --> 01:38:21,360
Speaker 1: Though we had a globe and it will be like dude,

1756
01:38:21,439 --> 01:38:23,599
Speaker 1: lu lu lu and then you'd have to it would

1757
01:38:23,640 --> 01:38:26,200
Speaker 1: say like, you know, Papua New Guinea and you'd have

1758
01:38:26,240 --> 01:38:27,840
Speaker 1: to poke it on the globe with a little pan.

1759
01:38:27,920 --> 01:38:30,920
Speaker 1: You I'm talking about, dude lu lu Oh. I just

1760
01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:33,479
Speaker 1: just wanted to clarify that. Yeah, yeah, that's what I mean.

1761
01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 1: It's I do impressions of a lot of things, including

1762
01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:40,480
Speaker 1: including globes, including computer noises from the early two thousands.

1763
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:44,320
Speaker 1: So but it would say like it would say a country,

1764
01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:45,760
Speaker 1: you'd have to poke it on the globe, and there

1765
01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:48,639
Speaker 1: was different levels of difficulty and it was a speed thing.

1766
01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:50,920
Speaker 1: So how many could you poke in? Uh? You know

1767
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:55,880
Speaker 1: that too? Yeah, that's fun. I mean it's geography. Look,

1768
01:38:55,920 --> 01:38:58,880
Speaker 1: we all should You should know geography because you don't

1769
01:38:58,880 --> 01:39:01,640
Speaker 1: want to not know because you don't have maps like

1770
01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:04,240
Speaker 1: such as the Iraq. You know what I mean, do

1771
01:39:04,280 --> 01:39:06,240
Speaker 1: we have we don't. We should have that clip ready

1772
01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:07,960
Speaker 1: at all times. It's still the greatest. I don't know

1773
01:39:09,240 --> 01:39:11,400
Speaker 1: about the girl from the Paget with Mario Lopez where

1774
01:39:11,439 --> 01:39:14,320
Speaker 1: she's like, you know, the iraqis and South Africa and

1775
01:39:14,439 --> 01:39:17,960
Speaker 1: they don't have maps like such as I get it.

1776
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:20,799
Speaker 1: She got a lot, you know somengimes. You're speaking, you're tired,

1777
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:22,400
Speaker 1: or you're nervous. You know, you kind of get a

1778
01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:26,320
Speaker 1: disconnect with your national television. Yeah, yeah, exactly, you get nervous, man,

1779
01:39:26,439 --> 01:39:30,120
Speaker 1: you get nervous sometimes. Um, so that can actually happen. Um.

1780
01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:32,040
Speaker 1: But they don't have maps like such as that is

1781
01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:36,600
Speaker 1: that is the thing, Uh, the Iraq. That's one of

1782
01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:40,680
Speaker 1: my favorite clips of all time. Jen Buck, What is

1783
01:39:40,720 --> 01:39:44,760
Speaker 1: your book list on books one should read on about communism?

1784
01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:52,120
Speaker 1: Books one should read about communism? Uh? Oh, well, you

1785
01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:55,439
Speaker 1: should start with some of the source material. So if

1786
01:39:55,479 --> 01:39:58,080
Speaker 1: you're going to talk about communism socialism, you must read

1787
01:39:58,080 --> 01:40:02,280
Speaker 1: the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marks in eighteen forty eight.

1788
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:05,360
Speaker 1: It's not very long. You must read it. That is

1789
01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:08,000
Speaker 1: an absolute, absolute most you have to read the Communist Manifesto.

1790
01:40:09,080 --> 01:40:11,639
Speaker 1: That's kind of the the ultimates and look, Mark, there's

1791
01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:15,519
Speaker 1: a whole a huge host of writings from Marks and

1792
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:19,920
Speaker 1: Angles and then other socialists. But I would start there

1793
01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:23,360
Speaker 1: if you've never read that, if you're looking for something fun,

1794
01:40:24,080 --> 01:40:28,200
Speaker 1: Animal Farm is absolutely fantastic for description. It really is

1795
01:40:28,200 --> 01:40:30,560
Speaker 1: a very spot on description of the early days of

1796
01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:33,160
Speaker 1: the Soviet Union in a lot of ways, in terms

1797
01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:35,639
Speaker 1: of the factionalism and the changing of the rules and everything.

1798
01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:38,599
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really you can read Animal Farm as

1799
01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:39,920
Speaker 1: a child and get a lot out of it, and

1800
01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:41,400
Speaker 1: then you read Animal Farm as an adult and you

1801
01:40:41,400 --> 01:40:44,280
Speaker 1: get even more out of it. But again, that's a

1802
01:40:44,360 --> 01:40:46,680
Speaker 1: that's not a serious that's not a scholarly work, but

1803
01:40:46,680 --> 01:40:49,400
Speaker 1: it is a very powerful novel for what it is.

1804
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:51,320
Speaker 1: And I do think that you can make the case

1805
01:40:51,360 --> 01:40:55,400
Speaker 1: that Orwell is the greatest English language author of the

1806
01:40:55,520 --> 01:40:57,920
Speaker 1: last hundred years. I think that's a that's a there's

1807
01:40:57,960 --> 01:41:00,800
Speaker 1: a strong case to be made for that. So yeah,

1808
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:03,880
Speaker 1: that would be that I would And more on communist

1809
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:07,519
Speaker 1: only Whittaker Chambers Witness from the American perspective, you should read.

1810
01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:12,320
Speaker 1: That's absolutely essential reading on communism and really about communist

1811
01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:16,200
Speaker 1: penetration of the United States and the way that there

1812
01:41:16,240 --> 01:41:19,959
Speaker 1: were government officials who were Communist sympathizers in this country.

1813
01:41:20,640 --> 01:41:24,920
Speaker 1: I would also say read The God That Failed, which

1814
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:30,800
Speaker 1: is a compilation of seven different former communists socialists who

1815
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:34,920
Speaker 1: saw who saw the failures of the system and flipped

1816
01:41:34,960 --> 01:41:37,680
Speaker 1: ideologically and realize what a disaster it was. So yeah,

1817
01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:39,679
Speaker 1: I would say the Communist Manifesto of the God That Failed.

1818
01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:41,240
Speaker 1: I think the God That Failed you can just download

1819
01:41:41,240 --> 01:41:44,000
Speaker 1: a pdf online. I mean not that I always want

1820
01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:46,400
Speaker 1: authors to get money for what they do, but I

1821
01:41:46,439 --> 01:41:49,200
Speaker 1: think it's right there on If you type in Google

1822
01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:53,840
Speaker 1: the God That Failed, it'll show up. That's excellent reading. Um. Yeah,

1823
01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:58,360
Speaker 1: I would start there. Commistnifesto God that Failed Animal Farm.

1824
01:41:59,720 --> 01:42:01,599
Speaker 1: There's more stuff on the Soviet Union I could talk

1825
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:05,439
Speaker 1: to you about, but I would begin there, and that's

1826
01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:07,479
Speaker 1: a pretty good place. I'm probably leaving some out that

1827
01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna punch myself later for leaving off this list,

1828
01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:16,040
Speaker 1: but that's a good start. You're in the Freedom Hut.

1829
01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:22,599
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right, Now

1832
01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:35,719

1833
01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 1: yoga flame. I know he's talking about. Street Fighter was

1834
01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:40,840
Speaker 1: a great game. I played a lot of Street Fighter

1835
01:42:40,880 --> 01:42:43,760
Speaker 1: back in the day. There was a character whose name

1836
01:42:43,840 --> 01:42:51,479
Speaker 1: I actually cannot remember, who was an Indian yoga like

1837
01:42:51,760 --> 01:42:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, yoga guru, I guess, or yogi I don't know, whatever.

1838
01:42:54,760 --> 01:42:56,880
Speaker 1: You'd call somebody who's like the best at yoga and

1839
01:42:56,960 --> 01:42:59,160
Speaker 1: he could extend body parts to like kick you with

1840
01:42:59,160 --> 01:43:02,479
Speaker 1: a foot from ten away. It's pretty pretty creative character

1841
01:43:02,600 --> 01:43:04,720
Speaker 1: in that in that game, procer Mark, were you a

1842

1846
01:43:17,360 --> 01:43:19,719
Speaker 1: I mean I'm a traditionalist. I like Ryu the most.

1847
01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:21,560
Speaker 1: I thought Ryu was the best. Ken was like a

1848
01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:23,240
Speaker 1: rip off of Ryu. I'm like, why do we need

1849
01:43:23,280 --> 01:43:27,160
Speaker 1: too of the Sega or Nintendo both. I played a

1850
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:29,000
Speaker 1: lot of video games. You tried a book about like

1851
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:32,400
Speaker 1: the Battle Fantastic what. I'll have to get the name

1852
01:43:32,439 --> 01:43:34,719
Speaker 1: for you, but there was a battle between Segon and Nintendo.

1853
01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:36,960
Speaker 1: Really it was an amazing book. I never knew all

1854
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:38,600
Speaker 1: the backstory to it. I didn't know any of that.

1855
01:43:38,600 --> 01:43:40,640
Speaker 1: I don't know anything backstory. Yeah, and I'm suppy to

1856
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:42,400
Speaker 1: be curious because I played both of those systems. But

1857
01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:44,680
Speaker 1: I will get the name of it and announced to

1858
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:47,920
Speaker 1: the audience tomorrow. Two little kids play the view games.

1859
01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:49,439
Speaker 1: I feel like when I think of vide games now,

1860
01:43:49,479 --> 01:43:51,080
Speaker 1: I think of adults playing deo games, I think of

1861
01:43:51,120 --> 01:43:53,479
Speaker 1: like I think of thirty year old dudes playing Call

1862
01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:56,680
Speaker 1: of Duty. Back then, it was really Nintendo was for kids.

1863
01:43:56,439 --> 01:43:58,559
Speaker 1: Kids was for adults. Oh okay, yeah, because because there

1864
01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:00,320
Speaker 1: was a time when video games were a kids and

1865
01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:03,479
Speaker 1: now I mean you walk into these video game outlet

1866
01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:05,040
Speaker 1: stores and things that they have all they forget what

1867
01:44:05,080 --> 01:44:06,880
Speaker 1: they're called. But you know, like game Stop, I think

1868
01:44:06,960 --> 01:44:08,439
Speaker 1: is one of them, and everyone in there is like

1869
01:44:08,439 --> 01:44:11,559
Speaker 1: in their forties. Oh yeah, video games are a major

1870
01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:13,720
Speaker 1: league adult thing. But they still make video games for

1871
01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:16,720
Speaker 1: kids as well. Yeah, but I remember my parents never

1872
01:44:16,760 --> 01:44:18,439
Speaker 1: played video games, right, so when they saw us playing

1873
01:44:18,520 --> 01:44:20,599
Speaker 1: video games, it was like we were playing with g I. Joe's.

1874
01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:22,120
Speaker 1: But it was like the same kind of thing. And

1875
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:23,680
Speaker 1: now you have all these people that are adults that

1876
01:44:23,680 --> 01:44:25,200
Speaker 1: are that are playing these Well, that's because we grew

1877
01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:27,559
Speaker 1: up with it. Yeah, And that's why people got mad

1878
01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:29,000
Speaker 1: at me when I said that The Witcher was a

1879
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:30,880
Speaker 1: bad TV show because they love the video games so much.

1880
01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:33,200
Speaker 1: They didn't want to hear that reality. But you know what, producer, Mark,

1881
01:44:33,360 --> 01:44:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm here. I'm here to share reality with people. I

1882
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:37,920
Speaker 1: never played the game either. I'm more of a sports

1883
01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:40,719
Speaker 1: game kind of guy. What is the greatest sports video

1884
01:44:40,720 --> 01:44:44,400
Speaker 1: game of all time? It's hard to say, because they

1885
01:44:44,439 --> 01:44:46,600
Speaker 1: make a new vision in the time that you played it,

1886
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:49,720
Speaker 1: you know, for it's time. I mean I grew up

1887
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:52,360
Speaker 1: playing like NHL ninety nine and those kind of games,

1888
01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:54,880
Speaker 1: and the early Maddens when you were a kid, they're

1889
01:44:54,880 --> 01:44:56,960
Speaker 1: like so much better. Madden two thousand and four. For me,

1890
01:44:57,000 --> 01:45:00,320
Speaker 1: it was the most amazing thing ever Tommy Football actually

1891
01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:02,720
Speaker 1: from playing that game. Madden was O three when Vic

1892
01:45:02,800 --> 01:45:06,439
Speaker 1: was on the cover and victors That's what I'm thinking about. Yeah, yeah,

1893
01:45:06,479 --> 01:45:08,800
Speaker 1: that was amazing. Yeah, I was the best. Michael Vick

1894
01:45:08,920 --> 01:45:11,240
Speaker 1: was super human in that video game. Yeah. It was

1895
01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:15,160
Speaker 1: like all the old people say Bo Jackson in techmoball,

1896
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:19,040
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, Bo Jackson was an incredible athlete. Dare

1897
01:45:19,320 --> 01:45:20,960
Speaker 1: I used to see this thing. I kind of like

1898
01:45:21,200 --> 01:45:23,799
Speaker 1: stop paying attention to professional sports in the last decade

1899
01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:25,360
Speaker 1: or so. But growing up, actually, when I used to

1900
01:45:25,360 --> 01:45:26,920
Speaker 1: go to Knix games all the time, I knew the

1901
01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:28,880

01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:32,479
Speaker 1: other sports I actually actually know him. I used to

1904
01:45:32,479 --> 01:45:36,160
Speaker 1: watch a cartoon with Wayne Gretzky bo jackson of Michael Jordan.

1905
01:45:36,600 --> 01:45:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't even remember what it's called. There was a

1906
01:45:38,040 --> 01:45:41,160
Speaker 1: cartoon where they were like superheroes. It was the three

1907
01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:44,160
Speaker 1: of them, and that was pre internet, when you had

1908
01:45:44,200 --> 01:45:45,720
Speaker 1: it to like do stuff like that to get kids

1909
01:45:45,720 --> 01:45:48,720
Speaker 1: interested in sports. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember watching that.

1910
01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:51,400
Speaker 1: It was pretty good. It's better than Captain Planet. That

1911
01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:54,240
Speaker 1: cartoon stunk. What does Captain Even before I knew that,

1912
01:45:54,560 --> 01:45:56,479
Speaker 1: even before I knew that climate change was a hoax,

1913
01:45:56,880 --> 01:46:00,879
Speaker 1: Captain Planet. He's the hero gonna bring pollution down to zero?

1914
01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:03,880
Speaker 1: That was the show. Show suck. I guess it's a

1915
01:46:03,960 --> 01:46:05,840
Speaker 1: nice way to make kids not throw their garbage on

1916
01:46:05,840 --> 01:46:08,200
