Apparently she's on Trump's personal no fly list. 20 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: What does this mean about how this shutdown is going 21 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: to end?

Make no mistake America, You're 29 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: a great American Again the buck Sexton Show begins. Remember 30 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: the animal. While many Democrats in the House and Senate 31 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: would like to make a deal, Speaker Pelosi will not 32 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: let them negotiate. The party has been hijacked by the 33 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: open borders fringe within the party, the radical left becoming 34 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: the radical Democrats. Hopefully Democrat lawmakers will step forward to 35 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: do what is right for our country, and what's right 36 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: for our country is border security. Welcome through the buck 37 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: sex and Show everybody. We are still in the midst 38 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: of the shut down, and Trump is absolutely spot on here. 39 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: The Democratic Party has been hijacked by the open borders 40 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: fringe within it. This is the case, and we are 41 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: seeing this now more than ever before, or because the 42 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: Democrats only argument they can really offer up here is 43 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: look at how painful the shutdown House. Look at look 44 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: at how painful the shutdowns become. It's so terrible, it's 45 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: so mean. Look what Trump is doing, He's so mean. 46 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: Well why is he doing it? Who wants money to 47 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: build barriers an additional border security? Why is that so 48 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: hard Democrats? It's not a lot of money. It's point 49 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: zero one percent of the budget. What's really the problem here? 50 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: What's really the issue? And it is that the Democrats 51 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: first and foremost refuse to give President Trump the political 52 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: victory of following through on the central promise of his 53 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: presidential campaign, because they know that that'll make him nearly 54 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: unstoppable in the twenty twenty election. Though I know they 55 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: think they're going to stop him through non electoral means. 56 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: They're going to try to impeach him and remove him 57 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: and prosecute him and all these other things. And we 58 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: will get to that during the show today. But this 59 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: is really simple. The other part of this is that 60 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: Democrats also just are a far left party now on 61 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: immigration and on the border. I never hear Democrats explain 62 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: why is it that we should have border security? What's 63 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: really the problem you know, they say that the ports 64 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: of entry are the only places drugs come in. Meanwhile, 65 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: I think today I just saw a friend at the 66 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: Washington Examiner share that he was doing essentially what I 67 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: did in San Diego. He was doing in Texas. And 68 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: they see seven hundred pounds of cocaine today and one 69 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: seizure at the border and not at a port of 70 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: entry out in an open field, somebody coming in on 71 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: a pickup truck. So start with that. But why do 72 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: Democrats say that they they want border security when there's 73 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: nobody who's coming into the country that they're willing to 74 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: say once they're here they should not be allowed to 75 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: se day. I mean, how close to being an open 76 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: borders party can they be before we call them that, 77 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: or before we at least say before at least willing 78 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: to say that they have turned into a party that 79 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: does not believe in border security. They want to be 80 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: essentially a turn style for whoever wants to show up. Yeah, 81 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: you have to stop, get in line, and then you 82 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: come through. But it's really just for reasons of government management, taxation, 83 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: and more to the point, with legal aliens lining up 84 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: people who are going to need public benefits and therefore, 85 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: who are going to be likely to vote for the 86 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: party of the welfare state, which is the Democratic Party. 87 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: That's what all this comes down to. But you know, 88 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: Pelosi claims that there is a negotiation going on here. 89 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: Pelosi claims that they're willing to have a real discussion. 90 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: But that's well, we can all judge that for ourselves. 91 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: Can we play too, don't you a Speaker of the House, 92 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: have an obligation to be at the negotiating table. We 93 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: had to negotiating table were night At the last one 94 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: we went to what I think was a set up 95 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: with the president pounded as he gave himself leverage to 96 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: leave the room. But now we're at the negotiating table. 97 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: I think she men gave himself leave to leave the 98 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: room at didn't want to say that, no, they're not 99 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: the negotiating table, because you know, they wanted to go. 100 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: Pelosi wanted to go in one of these Codel's congressional 101 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: delegation trip. It's gonna go to Brussels and then Afghanistan. 102 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: And this got canceled in one of the greatest acts 103 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: of presidential trolling. And I am all I'm all for it. 104 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: I really am one of the greatest acts of presidential trolling. 105 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: You could imagine the Pelosi crew and a bunch of 106 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: other members of Congress were in the bus on the 107 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: way to Andrew's Air Force Base to be taken all 108 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: paid for by the tax by the taxpayer. You know, really, 109 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,559 Speaker 1: just using the Department of Defense is their personal private 110 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: jet service, taking them for you know, a trip to 111 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: Brussels and then Afghanistan. And I think they were also 112 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: stopping maybe in Egypt along the way too, But you know, 113 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: essentially it's going on a trip. He's gonna gonna be 114 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: on a trip, and they get a big per diem 115 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: when they're over there, a lot of government benefits that 116 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: come with this whole thing. They don't pay. They don't 117 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: pay for the travel obviously, they don't pay for their 118 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: food and lodging. That's all you and me pen for that. 119 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: And Trump released a letter and he said, look, sorry, 120 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: right now, given the shutdown, I'm going to cancel the 121 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: usage of a Department of Defense planes to get you there, 122 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: because guess what, Trump's the commander in chief. He has 123 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: the right to do this. He did it. I love it. 124 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: I think it's great. I think these congressional delegations are. 125 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: I know, they're usually boondogglas I used to brief members 126 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: of Congress on these delegations sometimes, and man, it was 127 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: a waste. Most of the time. They just wanted to 128 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: know where they could get the coolest knives in the 129 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: bizarre and where they can get the best rugs. I'm 130 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: being serious, that's the kind of stuff that the congressional 131 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: delegations were often interested in. I mean, most of these 132 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: are absolute boondoggles, but the media is horrified, horrified at 133 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: the politics involved here Play four. The President has responded 134 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: in sort of a childish way, is the only way 135 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: to describe it. To the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, this 136 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: is a sort of a classic example of Trump kind 137 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: of overreacting. What is Trump has done today? Tactically inept, strategically, knitwitted. 138 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: The only phrase that comes to mind is nanny nanny boobo. 139 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: Nobody who's ever traveled with a congressional delegation would think 140 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: that this is funding or appropriate or cool. Nobody who's 141 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: ever to travel with the congretul delegation. Nobody Jake Chapper 142 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: being all jig Chapperlake actually no, dude. Lots of people. 143 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: I'm one of them who had who actually had to 144 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: sit there and briefly Congression delegation and be like, so 145 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: you guys don't care, huh, you're you're visiting the What 146 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: they'll often do because I know, because I worked on 147 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: this stuff, and I'm not just taking dictation from you know, 148 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: Democrats and Capitol Hill. Uh. The way it works is 149 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: that they'll add on a day somewhere that matters on 150 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: the way. They'll stop in London and Paris and Brussels 151 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: and Prague and you know, all that gets thrown in there. 152 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: But you know, then they'll spend a day in the 153 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: Green Zone and Baghdad. People go, oh, it's so dangerous 154 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: their flights coming in a back people live there. I mean, 155 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: these these these aren't war zones in the sense that 156 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: people aren't going about their day to day lives in 157 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: these countries. They're they're not planes being shot out of 158 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: the sky, God forbid. But you know that's not happening. 159 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: So so they fly in for a day and get 160 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: some briefings and leave. This is not some active heroism 161 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: or bravery in the part of the Congressional delegation, but 162 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: just all of the oh it's so terrible and you know, 163 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: nobody would ever think, nobody ever think this is, you know, funny, 164 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: you're cute. I actually wrong. I do think it's both 165 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 1: funny and cute because I think that Pelosi's I think 166 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: Pelosi's a clown, a very powerful one, unfortunately, but not 167 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: somebody of any intellectual or ethical seriousness. And I have 168 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: to take this moment, after we've established that there are 169 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: lots of people to meet, very upset. How how could 170 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: you do this? You know, Trump trolling Pelosi on this 171 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: issue is you know, just just fine or terrible, but 172 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: you know it's just fine and dandy for them. Pelosi 173 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: the day before canceling the President's State of the Union address. 174 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: Play three, Speaker Pelosi playing hardball. She's playing hardball. Speaker 175 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: Pelosi flexing her constitutional muscle. Nancy Pelosi flexing her muscles today, 176 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: This bold power play by Speaker Pelosi. She's got a 177 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: PhD and needling President Trump. This is a move of 178 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: exceptional cleverness and sadism in a way. I mean, this 179 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: is political genius. She was showing that she's in charge. 180 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: What a badass political genius, they say, a badass. What 181 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: do we think is, let's take a step back. What's 182 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 1: really more important? A speech from the President of the 183 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 1: United States to the American people that lays out the 184 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: state of the Union but also the direction of policy 185 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: and what he's going to try to do, and it's 186 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: going to be watched by I don't know, fifteen or 187 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: twenty million people or whatever it is. Or a few 188 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: members of Congress getting to fly to Europe and then 189 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: a quick stopover in Cobble where they're going to be, 190 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: you know, rug shopping and get some very you know, 191 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: thirty thousand foot at best, briefings on what's going on 192 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: in the country before they leave. What do we think 193 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: is more important? I mean, I'll argue that neither of 194 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 1: them are really that important. I mean, the State of 195 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: the Union should just be I think it should just 196 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: be a policy paper or you know, it should be 197 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: released as a written statement. That's it. I don't think 198 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: we have to do more pageantry. I think we get 199 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: enough visualization of the president. I think we see enough 200 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: and hear enough from the president. Um, but you know, 201 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi canceling the State of the Union is brilliant, 202 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: it's genius. She's amazing, she's a badass. And then Trump's like, 203 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: all right, well, guess what your little trip, your little 204 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: taxpayer funded safari to uh, you know, Brussels. Guess what 205 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna put a little little pass on that, 206 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: because aren't you also then going to ensure that federal 207 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: workers miss another paid. I mean, I thought we were 208 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: so concerned with getting federal workers paid. Again, Pelosi's gonna leave, 209 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: the Speaker of the House is gonna leave the country 210 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 1: for a completely unnecessary trip. And don't even get me 211 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: started on what it means. And many of you are listening, 212 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: who who were in the military, or if some of 213 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: you were in the intelligence community like me, you know 214 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. When they show up, when a 215 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: codel shows up in a rock Afghanistan, Oh there's all this, 216 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, they gotta give them a tour, and everything's 217 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: gonna look nice and gotta sound right, and there's just 218 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: a lot of pomp and circumstance rounds unnecessary, it's unnecessary. 219 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: And now Pelosi is saying that, oh he's and now 220 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,239 Speaker 1: we can't fly commercial because Trump said we may fly commercial. 221 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: So now we're in this big let me tell you 222 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: something right now, all right, Nancy Pelosi was not flying 223 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: on a normal commercial flight to Afghanistan. No way she 224 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: was going to do that. So this pretense that oh, 225 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 1: Trump blew Trump blew our cover with this trip. Now 226 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: and now we can't even fly private even if we 227 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: wanted to. These people are so full of it all liberals, 228 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: so hypocritical, so sanctimonious. They really just need to get 229 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: a grip. But I don't think they're going to anytime soon. 230 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: I don't think our expectations should be that all of 231 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: a sudden liberals are gonna start acting like adults. I 232 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: think we're just going to see more and more and 233 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: more of this from them in the era of Trump. 234 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: Trump has Trump has broken them, and they have not 235 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: yet figured out a way to deal with it. But 236 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: this State of the Union situation, I don't think we 237 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: need to have the state of the Union address. It's 238 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: just if the politics of canceling the State of the 239 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: Union are great, and you're a quote journalist, you better 240 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: not be run around making some case that the politics 241 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: of canceling a completely unnecessary congressional boondoggle is some kind 242 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: of grave national security threat or in justice. This is 243 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: just it's pathetic. It is pathetic. Why can't people just 244 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: tell us what side you're on. Media, just stop lying, 245 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: tell us the truth about who you're rooting for, and 246 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: then you can say whatever you want and we'll judge 247 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: it for ourselves. Stop pretending to be objective, you are liars. Yes, 248 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: if we have to, I think we absolutely should. I 249 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: think in no way should we say that the State 250 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: of the Unions now a partisan event and the Democrats 251 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: can just cancel it because they don't like republic But 252 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: I think it actually could happen. It's not very big, 253 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: you know, we only have one hundred seats, but we 254 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: have a huge gallery and there could be some standing room. 255 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: It's not ideal. I mean, it's supposed to be in 256 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: the House, and it traditionally has we never tried to 257 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: bar when the Republicans in charge, we never tried to 258 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: bar President Obama from doing it. No, whatever we can 259 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: consider something like that, I think as a Democrats to 260 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: it will be seen as really petty and really petty partisanship. 261 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: Rampaul's idea here that they would do the State of 262 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: the Union on the floor of the Senate is it's 263 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: certainly interesting, but his thing that that's gonna be petty 264 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: and parties that, yeah, of course, that's what Democrats are, 265 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, and I don't know I that. Look, Republicans 266 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: can be parties in two Trump is obviously partisans, and 267 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: Trump fights back. That's why they hate him so much. 268 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: The Republican Party of ten years ago would have said, oh, 269 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: you know, they want to cancel the State of the Union. 270 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: We must have made them mad. It's our fault. The 271 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: Republican Party of today, with Trump at the head, is like, okay, 272 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: all right, you're gonna cancel my State of the Union. 273 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to cancel your BS flight that we all 274 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: know is a boondog. And I I like that Republican 275 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: Party better. I think that you do need to have 276 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: a check on the manipulations and deceptions of the Democrats, 277 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: and there need to be consequences for their lives, because remember, 278 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: you're dealing with people like Congressman Shift, who are just 279 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: slimy and unethical and gross play five too often in 280 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: the last two years, the president has acted like he's 281 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: in the fifth grader, and to have someone who has 282 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: that kind of the character running the country is an 283 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: enormous problem at every level. And you see it now, 284 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: We've seen it over the last two years, and my 285 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: guess is we're going to see it in the future. Well, 286 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: our nation's capital has officially become a playground brook. The 287 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: President has responded in sort of a childish way, is 288 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: the only way to describe it, to the House Speaker 289 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi to her letter, essentially saying that do you 290 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: say the union will be postponed? There you had a 291 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: cost to get into the mix as well, just calling 292 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: the President childish. I mean, they're going to say all 293 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: this stuff. You know what I say, All right, let's 294 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: let's fight a little fire with fire here, you know, 295 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: Let's let's actually show them the way that they like 296 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: to win these arguments. We're gonna do that. We're gonna 297 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: do that back. I would know to hear that the 298 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: White House. I just saw this. Now, this just went 299 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: up right before we went on air, but that or 300 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: a couple hours before runner. But I'm just seeing now 301 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: that the White House has basically said that this Nancy 302 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: Pelosi thing where she's saying that she was gonna fly 303 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: commercial and that this was leaked is quote a flat 304 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: out lie, and another White House official called it asinine. Yeah, 305 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this is this is so pathetic. It's such 306 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: a reach. The White House is going to leak that 307 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: members of Congress are flying private so that meaning that 308 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: they're flying on commercial, not private planes, but on commercial 309 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: you know, airlines to Afghanistan. They're gonna leak that to 310 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: the press. First of all, how do they know it 311 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: came from the White House? Start with that. You're gonna 312 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: tell me that congressional staffs wouldn't know about this, I mean, 313 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: the idea that they can pin it on the White 314 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: House right away, It just goes to show you that 315 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: this is highly political and that they're trying to make 316 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: a lot out of this. But even beyond that, Yeah, right, Yeah, 317 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, she's really gonna she's really gonna cram into 318 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: seat twenty seven g on you know, air Afghanistan. I 319 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: don't think so, Okay, I don't think Nancy Pelosi was 320 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: about to get on a commercial flight bound for Cobble. 321 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 1: I think Queen Nancy really makes make sure that she 322 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: has a seat that reclines all the way and has 323 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: ample champagne wherever she flies. Let's get real, people, all right, 324 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,959 Speaker 1: let's get real. It is It is a flat outlie. 325 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: It is assinine and it's just funny to see. You know, 326 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: this is you know, Democrats, they're they're they're being really 327 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: childish about this because they're being exposed because Trump's winning 328 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: the argument over the wall. Now we're gonna they want 329 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: to focus on everything on the wall. I was at 330 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: the border this week, and as I told you at 331 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: length on Wednesday, the wall works, fencing works, Barriers are necessary. 332 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: Barriers are incredibly helpful the border patrol. There's no question. 333 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: The numbers speak to it. I saw it with my 334 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: own eyes. I'm telling you it works. And the biggest 335 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: talking point you'd half the Democrats up to this point 336 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: was that they don't work. Well, that's just a lie. 337 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: So now it's oh, they're being so mean to the 338 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: federal workers, and Trump is leaking to the press that 339 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: we were going to fly to a complete It's just nonsense. 340 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 1: But you know, I got the March for Life and 341 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: the Women's March. March for Life was today, Women's marches tomorrow. 342 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about those two very 343 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:39,719 Speaker 1: different organizations and causes in some detail. Coming up. You tweeted, 344 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna put this up on the screen regarding Republican 345 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: Congressman Senator Lindsey Graham. I believe we have this tweet 346 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: saying they got him, he has compromised, and there it is. 347 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: I wonder if you'd explain what you were talking about 348 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: there that this has sparked a fair amount of criticism, 349 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: not just from republic the kids. Can you explain that comment? 350 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: So over the last three years, we have seen many 351 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: times where Senator Lindsey Graham has told us how dangerous 352 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: this president could be if he was given the opportunity 353 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: to be in the White House. And all of the sudden, 354 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: he's made not only one hundred and eighty turn around, 355 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: but a three sixty turn around. And so I am 356 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: pretty sure that there is something happening with him. But 357 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: that's quite a charge to make. You say you're pretty 358 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: sure based on based on what evidence, what facts that 359 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: that's a remarkable comment to make about a sitting US senator. 360 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: The the the evidence really is um present to us. 361 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: It's being presented to us in the way that he's behaving. 362 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: But that's not evidence that that's your opinion. But now, 363 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: as a sitting member of Congress, you would have tweeted 364 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: they got him on this again, just based on what evidence, 365 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: on My tweet was just an opinion based on what 366 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: I believe to be visible to me, and I'm pretty 367 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: sure there are lots of Americans who agree on this. 368 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: A remarkable exchange there on CNN earlier this week that 369 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: I've been meaning to get to with you, but I 370 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: was out yesterday when it happened. That was two CNA anchors, 371 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: actually two sing An anchors that I know pretty well, 372 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: Poppy Harlowe and Jim Shudo and Ilhan Omar, who is 373 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: the newest Muslim American. I think she might actually be 374 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: the first Muslim American congresswoman. She was just sworn in 375 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: and she canaba. I think she's I think she's from 376 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: I'm not sure which state actually, on top of my head, 377 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: Minnesota doesn't matter. Minnesota, thank you. She's from Minnesota, and 378 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: she is there getting pushed gently. I would know on 379 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: what do you mean? Lindsey Graham is compromised. What what 380 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: do you? What do you say? And that's not of 381 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: course the WHOA, Where's your evidence? Are being very gentle 382 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: with her. Let's just cut the cut the bull from 383 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: in here, shall we? The left? Chelsea Handler, other people 384 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: who are very outspoken, you know, left wing loons. But 385 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: people with platforms have been putting rumors out there for 386 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: a long time that Lindsey Graham is a closet at homosexual. Okay, 387 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: that that is what they say. And you know, because 388 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: of this culture, I would argue, because of this culture 389 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: of hysteria surrounding all things Russia, because you have all 390 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: these people who are being told ooh, the p tape 391 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: is real, with the dossier, and and you know they've 392 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: got something on Trump. I think that there's more of 393 00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: a space in people's minds to believe this crazy nonsense 394 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: than before. But it's crazy nonsense. And on top of that, 395 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: on top of the lack of veracity, that the left 396 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: would use rumor mongering about somebody as allegedly gay as 397 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: a way to undermine them is grotesque. Just think for 398 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 1: a second if it had been a white male member 399 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: of the Republican Party saying that a Democrat who, let's say, 400 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,959 Speaker 1: was going along with the Obama gender or a Hillary agenda, 401 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: or whoever whoever the Democrat president was, that a white 402 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: male Republican was going on TV or tweeting out they've 403 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: got him, He's compromised about a Democrat of any of 404 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: any race right doesn't matter. But just a Democrat saying 405 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: that at the left would lose their minds. And by 406 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: the way, I mean, I think it's fair to get 407 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: angry about that. I think somebody should. I think that 408 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: calling somebody a closet a closet at homosexual and using 409 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: that to undermine them and to debase their politics is disgusting. 410 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: But but just notice how, oh, and I got into 411 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: some little little Twitter spat with some blue check journalists 412 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: about Oh, she didn't she didn't say it, she didn't 413 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: say it. Oh, now we're going to play the dumb 414 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: dumb game. We're all we're all a bunch of dumb dumbs. 415 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: You know what, what other politician in public life right 416 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: now who is going along with Trump is being referred 417 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: to as compromised by by supporting his agenda. And they've 418 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: got him. They've got him implies blackmail. Compromised implies blackmail 419 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 1: of a personal nature, and talking about a blackmail of 420 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: a personal nature with regard to Lindsey Graham is obviously 421 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: meant as an insinuation that Trump and the GOP with 422 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 1: him are holding it over Lindsay Graham that he's gay, 423 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: when there is no evidence of this, and even if 424 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: there were evidence of this, or at least I should say, 425 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: even if this were true, that the Left would use 426 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: this as some kind of a weapon in politics, you 427 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: would think would be beneath them. But no, of course not. 428 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: And then you have on top of this ilan Omar 429 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: that they want to celebrate. They want to celebrate this woman. 430 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: They're they're such big fans. She's a Muslim American who's 431 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: in Congress, and she's a woman, and they there's so 432 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: much about this, you know, diversity and breaking glass ceilings 433 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: and all that stuff that the left really likes. But 434 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: you can tell that they're already you know, that's kind 435 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: of a different a different set of rules here, and 436 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: now they're there's applying a different standard to and I think, 437 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: by the way, it has much more to do with 438 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: the fact that she's a Muslim than anything else. I mean, 439 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: I do believe that the media is always willing to 440 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: tolerate what would be considered intolerate bowl from any other 441 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: religious group in this country, but from Muslims, because Muslims 442 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: are viewed by the left as a non white minority religion, 443 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 1: a religion that is oppressed in the West is oppressed 444 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 1: in Europe and America. They give Islam a pass. This 445 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: is why you don't see Muslim bakers being arrested because 446 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: they won't make cakes with you know, sex toys on 447 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: them or all the stuff that they've done to this 448 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: this guy out in Colorado, just harassing this baker out 449 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: in Colorado. But you know they won't do that to Muslims. 450 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: They don't do that to Muslims. And there's also because 451 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: they view Islam as having suffered under the colonial yoke 452 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: of the West. I mean, there's all this and a 453 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: lot of it comes from the Academy, and then the 454 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: media picks it up. This theorizing about why Islam should 455 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: be treated differently when it comes to anti homosexual bigotry 456 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: and anti female oppression. I mean, you go down the 457 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: line and Islam is given a much greater leeway in 458 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,719 Speaker 1: terms of media criticism than obviously Christianity or Judaism are. 459 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: Oh and since we're bringing up Judaism, missus Ilhan Omar 460 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: Congressman Omar also had some words to share on Israel 461 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: that I think raise some eyebrows, to say the least. 462 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: Plate twenty two. I do want to ask you also 463 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: about your comments on Israel to remind people what you 464 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: tweeted about Israel in twenty twelve, during the offensive in Gaza. 465 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: You wrote, Israel has hypnotized the world. May all awaken 466 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. 467 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: You've commented a lot since then trying to explain what 468 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: you meant by that, and I wonder just what your 469 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: message is this morning, as the first on our Game 470 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: Changers series to Jewish Americans who find that deeply offensive. Oh, 471 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: that's really a regrettable way of expressing that. I don't 472 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: know how my comments would be offensive to Jewish Americans. 473 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: My comments precisely are addressing what was happening doing the 474 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: Gaza war UM, and I am clearly speaking about the 475 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: way that the Israelili regime UM was conducting itself in 476 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: in that war. Hm hm, Israel is hypnotized the world 477 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: people will awake via Allah to the evil that Israel 478 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,479 Speaker 1: is doing. I I'm sorry, I'm not buying me. This 479 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: is just a criticism of the Gaza offensive routine that 480 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: she's putting up here. But again, just somebody is criticis 481 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: is highly critical of the state of Israel, and you 482 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: might see itself. Okay, well, Israel's a contentious policy choice. 483 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: But you know, here you have someone who really seems 484 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: to have a problem with just the state of Israel. 485 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: And this is becoming increasingly a problem for the left 486 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 1: right now because they've elevated some pretty radical left types 487 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: into Congress and just elevated them the discourse. And there 488 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: is a hatred of Israel that exists on the left 489 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: that is very clear. It's very prominent, and especially hatred 490 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: of Israel from non white and religious minorities in this 491 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: country is treated differently. This is how you have Lewis 492 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: Farakon everybody, Okay, it's just treated differently by the media. Farakon, 493 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: who remember Obama hugged him when he was running for president, 494 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: but the press hid that or whatever shook his hand, 495 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: warmly hid that photo from us intentionally. They told us 496 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: the photographer later on that he had to hide the photo. 497 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: Obama had to kiss Farrakon's ring, But the American people 498 00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: overall weren't supposed to see that. Huh. I don't think 499 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: that you would find any any Republican of any color 500 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: or creed who would get away and shouldn't get away 501 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: with saying the things that Lewis Farrakon has said, referring 502 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: to being not an anti termite, anti Semite, but anti termite. 503 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: You know that Ferrikon is just dripping with anti Semitism, 504 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: and yet the media gives him a pass. Just in general. 505 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: Lately they turn up the heat a little bit because 506 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: people have been pointing this out. But you see this. 507 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: You see this with the way that they treat the 508 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: far left on this issue as well. So if you 509 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: are a far left Democrat who is a Muslim female minority, 510 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: you are going to get a whole lot more leeway 511 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: to be anti to say anti gay things, to say 512 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: anti Semitic things, just go down the line. This is 513 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: why people don't trust the media, because we know that 514 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: this is happening. They can deny this as much as 515 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: they want. It's as if I had gone on air, 516 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: or any Republican that you know had gone on air 517 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: and said anything like, you know, this democrat is only 518 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: doing this policy that he's doing because he's actually secretly gay, 519 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: or said anything even close to that. I know she 520 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: didn't say the words to insinuate that in any way. 521 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I'd probably never I'll never be allowed 522 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: to be seen in public again. Notice with those CNN 523 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: angers though, well, you know you don't have any evidence 524 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: for this. Who That's a pretty gentle way of saying, 525 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: so are you actually a huge biggot? Because you sound 526 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: like you're being pretty bigoted right now against gay people. 527 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: That that's kind of what it sounds like. And I 528 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: you know Dave Ruben over at the Reuben Report, I 529 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: saw him to He certainly thought this was very anti 530 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: gay and bizarre. You know, you go down to I'm 531 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: not the only one, se Cup. My old friend over 532 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: at CNN, she thought it was anti gay and bizarre, 533 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: and I'm not alone here. But different rules, different rules 534 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: on the left and for preferred, preferred protected categories within 535 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: the left. But intersectionality always devolves into you know, self 536 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: consumption of one kind or another. You know that these 537 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: these different groups that are these identity groups, they're in 538 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: this unstable hierarchy, and the left is always trying to balance, 539 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: you know, who do we have to support and who 540 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: are you willing to sacrifice at any given time. That's 541 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: will be interesting to see how it plays out. But 542 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: there's more of this that comes into play with the 543 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: Women's March, which is planned tomorrow, not today. I will 544 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: tell you what I mean in just a moment. Do 545 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: you feel that the Jewish people are native as well? 546 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I understand the history that you 547 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: know that there are people who have a number of 548 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: sort of ideologies around why the Jewish people feel this 549 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: should be their land. I'm not Jewish, so for me 550 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: to speak to that is not fair. If you're willing 551 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: to say that the Palestinians are native, but not the 552 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: Jews are native, I mean you're not in Palestinian either, 553 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: because I'm speaking of the people who we know are 554 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: being boudole oppressed in this moment. That's just the reality. 555 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: Is it your view that Israel has a right to 556 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: exist as a nation? I have said many times that 557 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: I feel everyone has a right to exist. In your 558 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: view does not include israelis in Israel. I believe that 559 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: all people have the rights to exist, and that Palestinians 560 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: are also suffering with a great crisis, and that there 561 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: are all the Jewish scholars who will sit here and 562 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: say the same. I'm done talking about this. I just 563 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: don't think it requires scholarly knowledge to be able to 564 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: say that Israel has a right to exist. Good for 565 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: Margaret Hoover over at firing line over on BBS, for 566 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: pushing I know, Margaret, it's a nice lady pushing. That 567 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: was Women's March leader Tamika Mallory, who very clearly will 568 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: not say that Israel has a right to exist, very 569 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: clear we'll not do it. Won't do it. First of all, 570 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: never mind the fact that she should say it. How 571 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: hard ward it be to just say, you know, how 572 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: she knows she's she's getting in this in this moment, 573 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: she's getting heat, she's being you know, being pushed into 574 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: a corner here, as she should be because of the 575 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: anti semitism of Linda Sarsore, who's a Women's March founder. 576 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: You know, Timika Mallory, and Jimika Mallory is somebody who 577 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:28,359 Speaker 1: also won't denounce Lewis Farrakon. You know, she will say 578 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: she won't use his words, or she doesn't use his 579 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,879 Speaker 1: he speaks for himself. Well, yeah, that that we all 580 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: know that. But do you think what he says is okay? 581 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: You are a leader of a political movement, It is relevant, 582 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: it is allowable, it is in fact desirable and necessary 583 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: to ask these questions. And Jamika Mallory sure enough, would 584 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 1: not say that Israel has a right to exist. And 585 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: and this is what I mean about there is this 586 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: room for anti Semitis them on the left, which is 587 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,240 Speaker 1: so it's troubling, but it's we also have to really 588 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: dig into, you know, why is this the case? And 589 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: a lot of it is driven by the narrative that 590 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: Israel is the last colonial outpost of the West in 591 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: the East. Uh. And and that's how they view the 592 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: Israeli Palestinian issue. It's taught this way on college campuses. 593 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: I know all about this. I took classes with anti 594 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 1: Israel in many cases anti Israel Jewish professors who actually 595 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: view the Israeli state as colonial, colonial oppression and even 596 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: akin to a a state of apartheid. I mean, I 597 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: actually study with the professor who would say that it 598 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: was like apartheid. Um. And and you know, so there's 599 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,439 Speaker 1: there's these complexities with how why would an American Jew 600 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 1: think that and and promulgate that as as a frameworker 601 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: thinking about Israel. But it's it's on the left, there's 602 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: this this uh willingness to both be incredibly critical and 603 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 1: destructive in a way one speaks about Israel. And also 604 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: there's this double standard that comes up for you know, 605 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: when do you you know, do you have to do? 606 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: You have to denounce if you're a Republican and you're 607 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: run for president, you got to denounce David Duke, even 608 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 1: though no one cares who this guy is, and you know, 609 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 1: no one's heard of him except every Democrat. Member of 610 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: the media brings it up every every presidential news cycle. Meanwhile, 611 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 1: with Farakhn, Obama paid homage to Farakhn when he ran, 612 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: and Farrakhan is a huge anti Semite. So you know, 613 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: why is this treated like it's okay at the Women's March. Oh, 614 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: I'm trying to answer that question here. We've got more 615 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:49,240 Speaker 1: coming up, introducing a new conservative alternative to liberal based 616 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: email services I patriots dot Us.

Forty six years ago 632 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 1: this month, the majority on the Supreme Court turned its 633 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,360 Speaker 1: back on that right. But in that moment a movement 634 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: was born, a movement defined by compassion and love, a 635 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: movement animated by faith and truth, and a movement that's 636 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: been winning hearts and minds every day since. Because of 637 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,880 Speaker 1: all of you gathered here, all those you represent, and 638 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: all those who have gone before, we know in our 639 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:23,280 Speaker 1: heart of hearts that life is winning in America once again. 640 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: Vice President Pennce addressing the March for Life, which was 641 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: today in Washington, DC, hundreds of thousands of people, mostly women, 642 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 1: coming together to march in favor of the lives of 643 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 1: unborn children. And I will say that my former colleague 644 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: Matt Walsh pointed out that this march is different from 645 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: other marches in that this is a march where by definition, 646 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: everyone who is marching is doing it on behalf of 647 00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:00,280 Speaker 1: someone who cannot march for themselves. And I think that's 648 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: that's powerful here. You know, this is a movement, and 649 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 1: this is an effort that is about saving lives and 650 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 1: is also about the remembrance of all those whose lives 651 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: have been taken from them because of what is a 652 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: a monstrous and deeply wrong policy. You know, I had 653 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 1: to sit in rising pretty recently. Some of you might 654 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,360 Speaker 1: have even seen it on The Hill Show and interview 655 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: the president of Planned Parenthood, and there were concerns from 656 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: Planned Parenthood beforehand because I was identified by their PR 657 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: people as an enemy of choice, which I think is 658 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: such an interesting phrase, isn't it. Yes, that's right. I 659 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 1: want to force people to only have vanilla ice cream, 660 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: not pistachio ice cream. I mean an enemy of choice. 661 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously that's a ridiculous phrase. Enemy of tru 662 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: what is that he even mean? Right? Or an opponent 663 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 1: of choice? What does that mean? No, I'm an opponent 664 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:09,720 Speaker 1: of the industrial slaughter of unborn children through abortion. And 665 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: it's it's hard because on the one hand, I like 666 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,719 Speaker 1: to engage the other side on this one, but more 667 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 1: than that, I just want to engage as many people 668 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 1: as possible and just as many everyday men and women, 669 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: and trying to get the message out there that you know, 670 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: I can tell you I've met people that have had 671 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: abortions and they have regretted it. I have yet to 672 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 1: meet and in some cases, terribly many cases, I have 673 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 1: never met somebody who said, oh, I had that child, 674 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 1: or even I had that child and gave him or 675 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,720 Speaker 1: her up for adoption and it was the biggest mistake 676 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: of my life. I've just never heard that from any mother. 677 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,360 Speaker 1: And I've spoken to countless women about this in political 678 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: life and even in my private life over many, many, 679 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 1: many years. So you know, this is one where this 680 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: can really this can really count, can really matter, even 681 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,799 Speaker 1: even the activism of today's March for Life, the activism 682 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,840 Speaker 1: of all of you who are listening in your lives 683 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 1: to convince those around you if somebody's in crisis and 684 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 1: they really feel like there and I understand it's scary, 685 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: and it's there's a lot that goes with the possibility 686 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: of a well with an unplanned pregnancy or a child 687 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: that somebody is not they think they're not prepared for. 688 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 1: But choosing life is always the right choice. And I 689 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,840 Speaker 1: would also like to deal with some of the legal 690 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,839 Speaker 1: implications ramifications of this, but I wanted to just play 691 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 1: for you for a moment here at the March for 692 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 1: Life the words of Abby Johnson, who was a former 693 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 1: Planned Parenthood clinic director, and here is what she said, 694 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 1: Play thirteen. I worked for Planned Parenthood for eight years. 695 00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: I was told that my job was to double the 696 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 1: amounts of abortion, so double our aurtion quota that we 697 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 1: had in our clinic, which was troubling to me because 698 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,320 Speaker 1: I have been told now for all of these years 699 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 1: that our goal was to reduce the number of abortions. 700 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: That here I am being told to double our quota. Then, 701 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: about a month later, I was asked to help participate 702 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:30,439 Speaker 1: in an ultrasound guided abortion procedure, and I watched as 703 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: a thirteen week old fetus fought and struggled for his 704 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 1: life against the abortion instrument. And I knew then that 705 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 1: there was humanity in the womb, and that abortion was 706 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: taking the life of this innocent human being. And I 707 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: decided to leave Planned Parenthood. You never hear the other 708 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 1: side of this debate, the other side of this of 709 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:06,880 Speaker 1: this profoundly important moral argument. You never hear them grapple 710 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 1: with the words of someone like an Abby Johnson who 711 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,760 Speaker 1: has seen it, who knows exactly what she's talking about. 712 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:18,799 Speaker 1: It's always dressed up in this very sterilized language of 713 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,839 Speaker 1: choice and reproductive rights and women's rights, and it's all 714 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,799 Speaker 1: about rights and this is what I have a right 715 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 1: to do, and what are they really doing? And if 716 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: it is a medical procedure, I mean, I can tell 717 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 1: you this. And this is one of the conversations that 718 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,240 Speaker 1: I had with the when I was interviewing the Planned 719 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,480 Speaker 1: parent Whood director. I said, is an abortion really healthcare? 720 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 1: And she said yes, because I know that's and I 721 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:46,960 Speaker 1: just wanted to get her on the record, and I 722 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 1: tried to press a little more to get but they're 723 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 1: never gonna bear. It's that's the president of Planned Parenthood, 724 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 1: and it's the it's the heart of darkness. I mean, 725 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,400 Speaker 1: I she's actually a very pleasant person, unlike her predecessor, 726 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 1: who came across as very I don't know, out of 727 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 1: I think central casting for what you would think somebody 728 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,800 Speaker 1: in that role would be a bit a bit cold 729 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:11,960 Speaker 1: and kind of aloof and machiavellianum. And this woman was 730 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: a was also an MD of the president of the 731 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 1: new President of Planned Parenthood, And I just wanted to 732 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 1: if I had had the time, and I remember, I 733 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 1: have to share my time there with a liberal and 734 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,879 Speaker 1: there's a whole balancing act I have to do. If 735 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,720 Speaker 1: I had the time, that I would have asked as well, 736 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 1: why is it? And I'll pose this to you just 737 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: to air this out. Why is it that if I 738 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 1: want to look up pretty much any medical procedure out 739 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 1: there online, I can find on YouTube a video of 740 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: doctors saying I'm doctor so and so, and here's how 741 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:45,840 Speaker 1: I do you know, Here's me doing a hip replacement, 742 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 1: Here's me removing a tumor, here's me you know, all 743 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 1: these different aspects of healthcare. You can watch in detail 744 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,400 Speaker 1: on the doctors are I mean, not only are there 745 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 1: I fine with showing you in the phase. I think 746 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 1: they're they're proud of the important service. You know, I 747 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,120 Speaker 1: want I want doct who are going to be operating 748 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 1: on me one day, Who are the best there is? 749 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 1: And are you know, realize how thankful I am that 750 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 1: we have the kind of medical services we do. Why 751 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 1: is that not the case with Plan parent. Why doesn't 752 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,360 Speaker 1: Plant parent had have videos just showing the whole procedures 753 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,719 Speaker 1: so everybody can really know what's going on, because it's 754 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,640 Speaker 1: a medical procedure. If it's not scary and it's not 755 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,319 Speaker 1: bad and it's not immoral, why don't you go to 756 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 1: the Plan parented website and say, you know, click here 757 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,600 Speaker 1: to see you to see what your abortion procedure will 758 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 1: look like. Why do they oppose ultrasound in the womb 759 00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 1: to show people what the fetus in the womb looks like? 760 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 1: You know, where are those where are those pieces of 761 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,760 Speaker 1: information that if this were really healthcare, I think it's 762 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 1: quite clear we would all very much be able to 763 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 1: see and to learn more about. But it's not. And 764 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 1: you always know, there's a problem when people choose to 765 00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 1: lie to you, and that's what you have a lot 766 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 1: of that going on in this discussion now, which stretches 767 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 1: back for decades, I know, but the pro choice side 768 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 1: is lying. And you know, this is also one of 769 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 1: those issues where I don't care how popular unpopular people 770 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 1: will talk about the polling, and that's only a worthwhile 771 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,760 Speaker 1: discussion in so far as it shows that more people, 772 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,080 Speaker 1: the more people realize what these procedures are and how 773 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,839 Speaker 1: they how they are conducted, I think, the more likely 774 00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 1: they are to have problems with them and oppose them. 775 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:36,560 Speaker 1: So with knowledge of abortion abortion procedures comes rejection of 776 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 1: it as some kind of almost a central right to womanhood, 777 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 1: which is really what the left. And you know, the 778 00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 1: Women's March is going to be happening this week, and 779 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 1: I might, I might just to so I can see 780 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,960 Speaker 1: what's going on. I might venture out there and try 781 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 1: to just talk to some of them. I'm trying to 782 00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 1: decide if I'm going to or not. But for the 783 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 1: Women's aren't you you're you're somehow suspect, or rather for yeah, 784 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,439 Speaker 1: for the Women's March, you are suspect. If you were 785 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 1: part of the Right to Life or March for Life, 786 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 1: there's something wrong with you. And that tells you a 787 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,719 Speaker 1: lot about just how central this is. Also, the abortion 788 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,319 Speaker 1: is only a tiny part of what planned parent who 789 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,520 Speaker 1: does For example, they say that that's not that's not true. 790 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,480 Speaker 1: I mean we all know, because then when you say, well, 791 00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:26,920 Speaker 1: why don't you do everything else? You know, no, No 792 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,759 Speaker 1: one opposes really no, there's no serious opposition to any 793 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,879 Speaker 1: other aspect of women's healthcare. You know, certainly people want 794 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,279 Speaker 1: women to get mammograms and you know, STD screening and 795 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,120 Speaker 1: whatever other services planned parenthood may or may not provide 796 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:46,320 Speaker 1: for them. But you know, those are all things that 797 00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,440 Speaker 1: you could do without doing abortions. But they always pretend 798 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,879 Speaker 1: that it's not it's not a you know, that this 799 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 1: is not an important part of what they do, and 800 00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 1: yet it's the most important part of what they do. 801 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 1: And if they were giving out nobody who is fixing 802 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 1: cleft pallets says that they're doing something else. They say, no, 803 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,480 Speaker 1: we're fixing cleft pallets, and everybody says, well, that's great, 804 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,759 Speaker 1: you're giving people their lives back. You know, it's an 805 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,560 Speaker 1: amazing surgery. What they can do. What are American and 806 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,759 Speaker 1: Western and first world plastic surgeons can do for kids 807 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,520 Speaker 1: or adults who have cleft pallets, right, it's amazing. They 808 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,719 Speaker 1: don't have to pretend it's something else. So this is 809 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 1: the only area of healthcare where they say it's central. 810 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,840 Speaker 1: They say it's important, but we're not allowed to know 811 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 1: about it. We're not allowed to talk about it. We 812 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 1: can't see it. They don't want there to be real transparency, 813 00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,800 Speaker 1: and they're really vindictive, and we'll talk about this in 814 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:42,880 Speaker 1: a moment. They're really vindictive about anybody trying to show 815 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:48,800 Speaker 1: the public what's really going on. They become vengeful the 816 00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 1: planned parenthood supporters and you know, and look, some of 817 00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 1: the biggest I'm just gonna say, I'm some of the 818 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,160 Speaker 1: biggest news anchors out there have family members who are 819 00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 1: very prominent in the Planned parenthood movement and orders of it. 820 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,960 Speaker 1: And you know it's the tentacles stretch very far on this, 821 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 1: So we'll come back with more on Lets stay with me. 822 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,720 Speaker 1: The left never has a shortage of things to whine about. 823 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:14,319 Speaker 1: A bunch of snowflakes always being triggered by one thing 824 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 1: or another.

Planned 842 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,600 Speaker 1: paranoid officials are blasting the decision, saying, as they have 843 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 1: all along, that the videos are heavily edited, and they 844 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:19,480 Speaker 1: say misleading, deceptive editing that has opened the door to controversy. 845 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:23,360 Speaker 1: The deceptively edited Planned Parenthood video has already been debunked 846 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,200 Speaker 1: multiple times by a number of different outlets, but that 847 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 1: is not going to stop Republicans in the Senate and 848 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,319 Speaker 1: in the House. A deceptive video from a conservative group 849 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 1: purports to show a Planned Parenthood official discussing prices for 850 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 1: the legal sale of fetal tissue from abortions. How these 851 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,880 Speaker 1: videos were edited, Planned Parenthood says that is leading Planned 852 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:46,360 Speaker 1: Parenthood and its supporters to discredit the entire production. That 853 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:54,880 Speaker 1: was a big, fat, disgusting, evil lie, one that we 854 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,560 Speaker 1: dealt with when it was first being leveled when these 855 00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:03,200 Speaker 1: videos came out, showing these undercover videos showing what was 856 00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,080 Speaker 1: going on with the with the sale of fetal tissue, 857 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 1: still the hardest thing that I've ever had to cover 858 00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:14,600 Speaker 1: and work on as a media analyst. That was the 859 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:18,080 Speaker 1: most disturbing thing I've ever seen. That was as as 860 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,799 Speaker 1: ugly and horrific as anything I've ever had to cover. 861 00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,480 Speaker 1: And it was all because the Center for Medical I 862 00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,319 Speaker 1: below was the Center for Medical Ethics is what the 863 00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:32,520 Speaker 1: group was called, went undercover and found what was going 864 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,800 Speaker 1: on in these Planned Parenthood clinics. Well, now a Fifth 865 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,680 Speaker 1: Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a ruling, and this 866 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,520 Speaker 1: has to do with whether Texas can stript Planned Parenthood 867 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:46,440 Speaker 1: of its Medicaid funding. But the but the ruling makes 868 00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:53,160 Speaker 1: it very clear that quote Planned Parenthood Associates did indeed 869 00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:57,000 Speaker 1: circument legal and ethical guidelines in pursuit of harvesting human organs. 870 00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 1: All of this in direct contradiction of what the so 871 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,840 Speaker 1: called Women's Health Organization and it's eager defenders and the 872 00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:05,000 Speaker 1: press claimed after the tapes were released in twenty fifteen. 873 00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,759 Speaker 1: End quote that's from the Washington Examiner. This was the 874 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,960 Speaker 1: big line that they were all running around saying. They're saying, oh, 875 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,680 Speaker 1: it's it's heavily edited, the heavily edited videos. Oh it's 876 00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,839 Speaker 1: also heavily edited. What does that I mean? First of all, 877 00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 1: any video clip is by definition edited. But what they 878 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:28,040 Speaker 1: were doing was creating a pretext for people to dismiss 879 00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:32,319 Speaker 1: the footage that they were seeing, as though it somehow 880 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:36,360 Speaker 1: was the same. That edited became almost synonymous in the 881 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:41,000 Speaker 1: minds of people with doctored. You know, they couldn't say 882 00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:45,400 Speaker 1: doctored because they would they had no proof of that 883 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:46,919 Speaker 1: there was you know that you'd have to actually build 884 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,360 Speaker 1: the point and say, well, this was. But you know, whenever, 885 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,719 Speaker 1: if somebody says that video's doctored in part, you can 886 00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: dismiss the whole thing. But they're saying is oh, these 887 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,160 Speaker 1: videos were edited. All videos are edited that you see 888 00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:02,239 Speaker 1: on team maybe all journalism requires edited. So what how 889 00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:05,600 Speaker 1: is that even a criticism, but it just became the 890 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:10,360 Speaker 1: escape hatch in the conversation for people, and it was 891 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:14,120 Speaker 1: just relentlessly pushed in the media. And you know, if 892 00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:15,920 Speaker 1: you look around, you'll see that some of the biggest 893 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,320 Speaker 1: and I got to this before, right before the break, 894 00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:21,000 Speaker 1: when some of the biggest names in liberal media, and 895 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,920 Speaker 1: by that I just mean the mainstream media are Planned 896 00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:29,920 Speaker 1: parenthood donors have family members or spouses on the board 897 00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,120 Speaker 1: or formerly on the board of Planned Paradoid in a 898 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:39,480 Speaker 1: very very much planned parenthood advocates open advocates for Planned Paradoise, 899 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 1: I mean really really believe in and they're not open 900 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,839 Speaker 1: advocates for like the local women's health center that doesn't 901 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:48,040 Speaker 1: do abortions. Okay, so it's not about women's health. They 902 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:52,600 Speaker 1: need to stop lying. But it was interesting that the 903 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,960 Speaker 1: same week that you have the same with the same 904 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,520 Speaker 1: twenty four hour period that you have the March for 905 00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,240 Speaker 1: Life happening here in DC, you this Fifth Circuit Court 906 00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,600 Speaker 1: ruling that came down that said these these videos were 907 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:07,560 Speaker 1: not not edited in any way. That was that was 908 00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:11,400 Speaker 1: showing them to be illegitimate. Um and it was in 909 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:16,960 Speaker 1: fact the Fusion GPS firm that's right. The same firm 910 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:21,279 Speaker 1: that put together the dossier was the one that came 911 00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:26,200 Speaker 1: up for the h came up with the unfairly edited 912 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: line to defend Planned Parenthood. Select I'm sorry, selectively edited. 913 00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,000 Speaker 1: That was always the term, which which is which is 914 00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:37,400 Speaker 1: a nonsense. It doesn't mean anything. Of course, everything that 915 00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,160 Speaker 1: you see in the news is selectively edited. It's called editing. 916 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,880 Speaker 1: You know they're not going to show you the camera, guys, 917 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,560 Speaker 1: roll before the congressman shows up to the podium. Is 918 00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:52,720 Speaker 1: that selectively edited? This is this was a complete propaganda trick. 919 00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:59,040 Speaker 1: It was. It was absolutely this was disinformation lies. Where 920 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,760 Speaker 1: or are we just hey to mantras all these different networks, 921 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,680 Speaker 1: where are they now that a court has looked at 922 00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,680 Speaker 1: all the evidence and a US Federal Court of Appeals 923 00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:12,239 Speaker 1: as said, there was nothing selectively edited about these videos 924 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:16,520 Speaker 1: that anyone would think or could argue discounts the underlying 925 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,560 Speaker 1: material and the underlying truth to what was going on, 926 00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:22,080 Speaker 1: which is that tiny babies, tiny babies body parts were 927 00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:28,600 Speaker 1: being harvested for sale. That's what Planned Parenthood was doing. 928 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:35,680 Speaker 1: Tiny baby body parts harvested to make a profit. That 929 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:40,359 Speaker 1: is reality. That is what was going on, and the 930 00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,439 Speaker 1: media tried to cover it up. They tried to cover 931 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,319 Speaker 1: it up. So you know, we have to remember that 932 00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:49,920 Speaker 1: there isn't just a There isn't just on the one hand, 933 00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,080 Speaker 1: you know, people of good faith and the other people 934 00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:56,480 Speaker 1: of that need more understanding on the issue of why 935 00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 1: they should support life. There is also an apparatus of 936 00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:03,279 Speaker 1: evil that is willing to do very terrible things to 937 00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,680 Speaker 1: support this evil practice, and they should be held to 938 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:12,080 Speaker 1: account too, in this life or the next. Regardless of 939 00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:15,960 Speaker 1: whether you think prohibiting abortion is good or whether you 940 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,160 Speaker 1: think prohibiting abortion is bad. Regardless of how you come 941 00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:22,919 Speaker 1: out on that, my only point is the Constitution does 942 00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:26,239 Speaker 1: not say anything about it. It leaves it up to 943 00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:33,840 Speaker 1: democratic choice, that is the voice of justice. Antonin Scalia 944 00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:38,160 Speaker 1: Rest in peace, who had a very clear argument on 945 00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,680 Speaker 1: this point, and it's one that I've even heard liberal 946 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,480 Speaker 1: jurists and professors agree with, although I'll generally do it 947 00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,399 Speaker 1: somewhat quietly, which is that this notion there's a constitutional 948 00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:52,359 Speaker 1: right to abortion is just delusional. There's no such thing. 949 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,719 Speaker 1: It's bad law. Row is bad law. But nonetheless, you 950 00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,080 Speaker 1: got the media very much invested in the narrative of 951 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,960 Speaker 1: what they call. Are you productive rights particularly? We're willing 952 00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,840 Speaker 1: in term. But what's going on now with the March 953 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,960 Speaker 1: for Life? And how is this being covered? Is it 954 00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:12,200 Speaker 1: being given the attention that it deserves. We're joined by 955 00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:16,760 Speaker 1: Amber Ephy. She is a Daily Caller White House reporter 956 00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,480 Speaker 1: and you can check out ourself a daily caller dot com. Am. 957 00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,040 Speaker 1: We're great to have you back. Thanks for having me, Buck, 958 00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,440 Speaker 1: So what can you tell me? What was the turnout 959 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,200 Speaker 1: like today and what's what's going on? Were you able 960 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,040 Speaker 1: to go by the way you give me some sense 961 00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:32,240 Speaker 1: of how the march come off today. Sure, I wasn't 962 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,320 Speaker 1: able to attend myself, but I did watch some of 963 00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,360 Speaker 1: it on c SPAN. It looks like it was really 964 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:40,960 Speaker 1: well attended. This march regularly attracts hundreds of thousands of people. 965 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,760 Speaker 1: I think last year it was something like three to 966 00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,320 Speaker 1: four hundred thousand, So it's a really huge event. It's 967 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,640 Speaker 1: every single year. People are really excited about it, and 968 00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:51,840 Speaker 1: the thing that I always noticed about the March for 969 00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:55,000 Speaker 1: Life is that it's overwhelmingly really positive. The people that 970 00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:57,400 Speaker 1: go are really excited to be there, they're really happy. 971 00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,360 Speaker 1: They're trying to spread of us as a positivity but 972 00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,520 Speaker 1: you wouldn't know that if you were watching the mainstream media, 973 00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:07,600 Speaker 1: if you watched CNN at SNBC, they hardly covered it 974 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:09,920 Speaker 1: all to begin with, and if they do mention it, 975 00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:15,000 Speaker 1: it's always painted as these anti abortions, zealous, these you know, 976 00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:18,880 Speaker 1: bigoted people who want to take away women's reproductive rights. 977 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:23,480 Speaker 1: And the Washington Post ran this headline today, it was 978 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:27,080 Speaker 1: their top story about the March for Life on their website, 979 00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:32,560 Speaker 1: and they insisted that that pro lifers are claim that 980 00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,680 Speaker 1: the science is on their side, but that doctors say 981 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,000 Speaker 1: that they disagree. But then when you read the piece, 982 00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:41,440 Speaker 1: you find out, well, actually, it's not that doctors disagree 983 00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,280 Speaker 1: with the notion that life begins at conception or that 984 00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,520 Speaker 1: life begins in the womb. It's just that a lot 985 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,720 Speaker 1: of doctors happen to be pro choice because they think 986 00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,760 Speaker 1: women should be able to abort their children. Anyway, So 987 00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,480 Speaker 1: the whole piece was totally bunk. And the coverage of 988 00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,720 Speaker 1: this has always been really skewed, and that's if they 989 00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,000 Speaker 1: cover it at all. I always thought it was interesting 990 00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:04,120 Speaker 1: that even the late great Christopher Hitchens, who was a 991 00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 1: rabid atheist, had said, you know, toward the latter years 992 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:11,919 Speaker 1: in his life. I remember hearing him talk about how 993 00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:18,120 Speaker 1: with additional advances in science, the pro life cause always 994 00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,960 Speaker 1: gets stronger that there has there has never been some 995 00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,880 Speaker 1: new ability that is scientifically based where you say, well, 996 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,800 Speaker 1: it seems like it's really not a person. Yeah, he's 997 00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,960 Speaker 1: exactly right, because pro lifers have been pointed this out 998 00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,240 Speaker 1: for years that a lot of people in the pro 999 00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:37,960 Speaker 1: choice movement say that, you know, life begins when a 1000 00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,080 Speaker 1: baby is viable outside of the womb, for example. But 1001 00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,320 Speaker 1: if science has progressed, they've been able to keep babies 1002 00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,240 Speaker 1: alive outside of the womb at much earlier and earlier 1003 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:50,600 Speaker 1: stages of the pregnancy, which proves that that's not an 1004 00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:54,600 Speaker 1: objective point of where life begins. That speaks more to 1005 00:59:54,800 --> 01:00:00,000 Speaker 1: scientific ability. Now, I also wanted to ask you about 1006 01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:03,720 Speaker 1: out there witching gears. Here for a second, we're talking 1007 01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:07,360 Speaker 1: to an Amber eighty of the Daily Caller. Amber, what 1008 01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:11,560 Speaker 1: is this story about Google and family? And they don't 1009 01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:15,000 Speaker 1: like the word family. I mean, today's the March for life. 1010 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:16,840 Speaker 1: People who tend to be pro life or very pro 1011 01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:18,840 Speaker 1: family as well, those tend to go together. But what 1012 01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 1: is going on at Google when it comes to families? 1013 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,880 Speaker 1: It's really crazy. My friend and colleague Peter Hassen broke 1014 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:29,800 Speaker 1: the story. Google was planning some kind of event for 1015 01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:32,440 Speaker 1: its employees and they send an email out telling them 1016 01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,400 Speaker 1: that it was going to be family friendly, which of 1017 01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:37,760 Speaker 1: course has the implication that yes, you can bring your 1018 01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:41,400 Speaker 1: kids to the event, your whole family. It's good for everyone. 1019 01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,520 Speaker 1: But apparently some Google employees, and by some I mean 1020 01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,400 Speaker 1: close to a hundred who apparently agreed with this sentiment 1021 01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,440 Speaker 1: that the worst family is now offensive because it supposedly 1022 01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:56,640 Speaker 1: discriminates against non traditional families, meaning the same sex couples, 1023 01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:00,160 Speaker 1: people who don't have children, or even people who who 1024 01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:03,400 Speaker 1: are unmarried. Single people were offended by this because they 1025 01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,880 Speaker 1: didn't think that they were included in this definition of family. 1026 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:11,600 Speaker 1: It's really amazing what people choose to be outraged and 1027 01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,040 Speaker 1: offended by these days. But I guess I am not 1028 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,320 Speaker 1: surprised that the left wing workers at a big tech 1029 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:23,120 Speaker 1: firm are the type of perpetually aggrieved people that we 1030 01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:26,360 Speaker 1: would see on a college campus, for example. I find 1031 01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:32,160 Speaker 1: it fascinating that the notion of inclusiveness, right just to 1032 01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:37,040 Speaker 1: be inclusive is elevated on the left as as really 1033 01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:41,160 Speaker 1: a sacro sanked principle. I mean, just inclusiveness is something 1034 01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,240 Speaker 1: you'll hear as a justification for a lot of otherwise 1035 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:47,720 Speaker 1: seemingly very very strange policies, and we need to be inclusive. Meanwhile, 1036 01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:50,920 Speaker 1: they don't want to be inclusive of people who are 1037 01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:55,640 Speaker 1: pro life, people who are traditional Christians like Mike Pence's wife. 1038 01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:59,160 Speaker 1: You're good on this list, And inclusiveness is a very 1039 01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:04,480 Speaker 1: amorphous and I think very self righteous term for them 1040 01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:08,960 Speaker 1: to use. Yeah, they're inclusive for everything that they happen 1041 01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:13,720 Speaker 1: to agree with, but they're not inclusive across the board. 1042 01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,560 Speaker 1: And this goes right back to the Women's March, which 1043 01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:20,560 Speaker 1: when it first got started, removed pro life groups as 1044 01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,360 Speaker 1: sponsors of the event because they said that pro life 1045 01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:26,160 Speaker 1: women can't be feminists, which a lot of pro life 1046 01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,680 Speaker 1: women I know personally do identify as feminists. They actually 1047 01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,720 Speaker 1: think abortion is really harmful for women, and that's why 1048 01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:36,000 Speaker 1: they identify that way. But that's not apparently one of 1049 01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:39,160 Speaker 1: those things that the left wants to be inclusive about. 1050 01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:41,520 Speaker 1: And you see this time and time again, the word 1051 01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:45,120 Speaker 1: inclusive is something they used for their own political ends. 1052 01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,880 Speaker 1: It doesn't actually mean what it is supposed to mean. 1053 01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:52,360 Speaker 1: To those people, Amber Aithy, everybody, Daily Caller check out 1054 01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,600 Speaker 1: her stuff there Daily Caller dot com. Amber, have a 1055 01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:58,080 Speaker 1: great weekend. Thank you for joining us. Thanks do have 1056 01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:04,280 Speaker 1: a good weekend. Supposedly a bombshell story in BuzzFeed saying 1057 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:11,240 Speaker 1: that President Trump may have directed his former attorney Michael 1058 01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:15,840 Speaker 1: Cohen to lie to Congress that, among other allegations, Moscow 1059 01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,080 Speaker 1: Tower stuff, a whole bunch of things. I want to 1060 01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,480 Speaker 1: get to that, and then also the latest on Bruce 1061 01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:24,440 Speaker 1: Or and what we have found out about the dossier 1062 01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:26,760 Speaker 1: and what was known and when it was known about 1063 01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,600 Speaker 1: the dossier. The best person for us, as we know 1064 01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:34,920 Speaker 1: is miss Kim Strassell. She is the Wall Street Journal 1065 01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,360 Speaker 1: editorial board member who comes on here in a fair 1066 01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:41,439 Speaker 1: amount of time. And also the intimidation game is her book, Kim, 1067 01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:45,840 Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining. Hi Buck, So this 1068 01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:49,720 Speaker 1: BuzzFeed story, do you give it credence? Are you concerned? 1069 01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,960 Speaker 1: What do you think? Well, first of all, let's talk 1070 01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:56,800 Speaker 1: about why it supposedly matters so much. And here's why 1071 01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:00,120 Speaker 1: Democrats in particular are excited about it is because a 1072 01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:05,320 Speaker 1: the authors of the piece, the journalists, claim that this 1073 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:09,400 Speaker 1: accusation is based off texts and emails, so they're no 1074 01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:13,080 Speaker 1: longer in theory going off just the words of Michael Cohen, 1075 01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,720 Speaker 1: who is an unreliable guy, but that there's supposedly some 1076 01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:20,200 Speaker 1: evidence here, and secondly, having not got anywhere with their 1077 01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:25,280 Speaker 1: obstruction of justice theories visa mister Trump and his firing 1078 01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:29,000 Speaker 1: of Jim Comey, this would be their best hook of 1079 01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:32,840 Speaker 1: making an actual charge, an obstruction of justice charge. I 1080 01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,120 Speaker 1: think the problem, of course, is that it comes from 1081 01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 1: BuzzFeed um, and even the writer, one of the writers 1082 01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,520 Speaker 1: of the piece acknowledge that he hasn't actually seen any 1083 01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,120 Speaker 1: of these texts or emails that he cites. He instead 1084 01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:49,840 Speaker 1: quotes some officials. If the crux of this piece is accurate, 1085 01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:54,439 Speaker 1: is this a new level of trouble and and heat 1086 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,880 Speaker 1: for the presidents in your mind? Well, it's already a 1087 01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,680 Speaker 1: new level of trouble and heat, only in that Democrats 1088 01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,280 Speaker 1: have seized on it, and members of the House have 1089 01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,360 Speaker 1: already said that they're going to investigate it, and you 1090 01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:08,200 Speaker 1: can expect that the White House is going to be 1091 01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:12,120 Speaker 1: getting subpoenas related to this and be demanded to answer questions. 1092 01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,480 Speaker 1: And of course the Michael Cohen testimony has now become 1093 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:18,320 Speaker 1: when it happens next month in the house hasn't become 1094 01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:21,320 Speaker 1: even more it's going to be even more of a circus. 1095 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,440 Speaker 1: So that's already trouble. I mean, I think the bigger 1096 01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:27,160 Speaker 1: question is one problem with this buga is let's even 1097 01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,320 Speaker 1: say there are texts and emails, and I'm not saying 1098 01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:32,040 Speaker 1: there are right, A lot of stories have been very 1099 01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:34,280 Speaker 1: wrong on this, but let's just say the word we 1100 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:36,680 Speaker 1: don't even know what they say. Do they really direct 1101 01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:40,400 Speaker 1: them to Is that an expansive reading of it? You know, 1102 01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,120 Speaker 1: did the Trumps they do what you need to do 1103 01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:45,680 Speaker 1: to make something happen here or here? And did they 1104 01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:47,320 Speaker 1: take that to mean in order? I mean, we just 1105 01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:51,640 Speaker 1: don't know what we're talking about. And one can assume though, 1106 01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:56,000 Speaker 1: that because they're saying that there is documentary evidence to 1107 01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:59,000 Speaker 1: be presented here and that Muller must have it, that 1108 01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:02,040 Speaker 1: at some point we will get some verification of this. 1109 01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:03,760 Speaker 1: Do you think it's fair to say, I mean, Kim, 1110 01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:06,080 Speaker 1: you work at the Wall Street Journal. If if BuzzFeed 1111 01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:08,480 Speaker 1: turns out to have been ahead of its skis on 1112 01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:12,240 Speaker 1: this one, have they burned whatever credibility The Internet's favorite 1113 01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:17,880 Speaker 1: cat video site has got Well, yeah, they've already got problems, 1114 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:22,200 Speaker 1: I think with that credibility issue anyway. But I think, look, 1115 01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,600 Speaker 1: but I think at the end of this, when we 1116 01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:27,600 Speaker 1: finally do get a Muller report, and assuming it actually 1117 01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:29,440 Speaker 1: provides some answers, this is going to have to be 1118 01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:31,880 Speaker 1: a lot of journalists and answer for a lot of 1119 01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:35,200 Speaker 1: things that have been written, and politicians too. I mean, 1120 01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:37,200 Speaker 1: you know, don't forget two years ago we had Adam 1121 01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:40,400 Speaker 1: Shipps saying that his committee had proved that Trump had 1122 01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:46,400 Speaker 1: engaged in collusion. We've never seen that, and there we 1123 01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:48,880 Speaker 1: have certainly don't have any evidence of it. So I 1124 01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:51,080 Speaker 1: think one thing that I think would be very healthy 1125 01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:54,160 Speaker 1: for democracy is when this is done, that people go 1126 01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,400 Speaker 1: back and re examine some of these claims that remain 1127 01:06:56,480 --> 01:07:00,800 Speaker 1: and media organizations be held to account. Now, let's talk 1128 01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:04,240 Speaker 1: about Bruce Or and the latest. I know you wrote 1129 01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,800 Speaker 1: about this in the Wall Street journal I think this 1130 01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:09,680 Speaker 1: past week, what have we found out about Bruce Or 1131 01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:13,800 Speaker 1: and how does it factor into all the nonsense around 1132 01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:19,040 Speaker 1: the origins of the Russia collusion investigation. Right, So, this 1133 01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:21,400 Speaker 1: is exactly what it deals with. It deals with the 1134 01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:26,240 Speaker 1: infamous dossier and the FBI's origin story, because remember, the 1135 01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:29,920 Speaker 1: FBI has tried very very hard to leave the impression 1136 01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:34,440 Speaker 1: that this counterintelligence investigation that it began in July of 1137 01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:39,560 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen was based on Papadopolis conversations in London, had 1138 01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,400 Speaker 1: nothing to do with this dossier because they always understood 1139 01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:45,800 Speaker 1: that dossier was a liability and they let everyone think 1140 01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:49,040 Speaker 1: and spread it out to their media palsies. They didn't 1141 01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:52,080 Speaker 1: even have that dossia and his September and so therefore 1142 01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:55,000 Speaker 1: it couldn't have played a role. What Bruce Orr told 1143 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,840 Speaker 1: Congress last August is in fact, he had a meeting 1144 01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,880 Speaker 1: with the dossier author, Christopher's Deal on July thirtieth of 1145 01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:05,760 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, and immediately went and told the Deputy FBI 1146 01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:09,600 Speaker 1: Director Andrew McCabe Lisa Paige, and in the month of 1147 01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:13,240 Speaker 1: August also breaved to FBI team and members of the 1148 01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:15,680 Speaker 1: Department of Justice. So they knew about it at a 1149 01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:18,080 Speaker 1: route in the time that they were setting up their 1150 01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:24,080 Speaker 1: counterintelligence investigation. So, you know, when do we actually get 1151 01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:26,599 Speaker 1: somebody to come out and admit that this is you know, 1152 01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:28,960 Speaker 1: what's it going to take? You think, Kim before they'll 1153 01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:34,840 Speaker 1: say that the usage of opposition research at the top 1154 01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:38,280 Speaker 1: of the FBI for the purposes of getting a FIZER 1155 01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:41,040 Speaker 1: warrant on a US citizen who, by the way, as 1156 01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:45,040 Speaker 1: you know Kim still has not ever even been charged 1157 01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,920 Speaker 1: with a crime in the case of Carter Page, and 1158 01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:51,200 Speaker 1: who has spoken liberally and at length to the Special 1159 01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:57,360 Speaker 1: Council without lawyers, which I just find stunning. When do 1160 01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:00,640 Speaker 1: people care? When do journalists start to care about that? 1161 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,320 Speaker 1: I thought they were supposed to be all about civil 1162 01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,519 Speaker 1: liberties and the rights that we have to not be 1163 01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:11,200 Speaker 1: spied on by the state. Oh do you remember, not 1164 01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:14,240 Speaker 1: so very long ago, Buck, Certainly in the time you 1165 01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:17,639 Speaker 1: and I have been in this business, democrats being so 1166 01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:22,759 Speaker 1: concerned with abuse and the government spying on American citizens. 1167 01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,720 Speaker 1: If they said we needed an ombudsman to handle all 1168 01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:29,120 Speaker 1: of those FISA requests, you know, I think I'm maybe 1169 01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:31,759 Speaker 1: joining them in that view. It's too bad they don't 1170 01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:35,280 Speaker 1: hold it anymore, or no one in the media. And 1171 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,960 Speaker 1: you know, look, we can never expect the people within 1172 01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:41,960 Speaker 1: the FBI and the DOJ who were part of this 1173 01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:46,040 Speaker 1: whole plan to ever admit their own wrongdoing. Okay, there's 1174 01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:50,080 Speaker 1: too much of an institutional pride of bias to acknowledge that. 1175 01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:53,320 Speaker 1: But then the only way you ever get to the 1176 01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:55,760 Speaker 1: bottom of this is to have an adversarial press that 1177 01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,759 Speaker 1: actually challenges. Instead, most of the press is just serving 1178 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:04,000 Speaker 1: as a scribe to whatever preferred narrative behind DJ spoon 1179 01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:07,920 Speaker 1: feed them. And it's it's mesmerizing to me as a 1180 01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:11,439 Speaker 1: journalist to watch it happens. It's extraordinary. I've never seen 1181 01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:14,559 Speaker 1: anything quite like it. I just remember how much how 1182 01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:17,439 Speaker 1: much difficulty there was even at the Intelligence Division of 1183 01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:21,200 Speaker 1: the NYPD when I was working there. We were trying 1184 01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:25,519 Speaker 1: to do surveillance that was all documented and legal and 1185 01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,440 Speaker 1: based on a criminal predicate or based on reasonable suspicion 1186 01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:32,320 Speaker 1: of people that were trying to blow up subway cars, 1187 01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:36,600 Speaker 1: and there was outrage about the civil liberties implications and 1188 01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:39,920 Speaker 1: how could it Meanwhile, you know, if you're running around 1189 01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:43,160 Speaker 1: with with anyone from the Trunk campaign, apparently we can 1190 01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:45,960 Speaker 1: just have the federal government pull all of your emails 1191 01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:49,320 Speaker 1: and phone calls and you know, no big deal, no, 1192 01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:52,280 Speaker 1: And that is generally their attitude. And you know, I 1193 01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:54,479 Speaker 1: always like to, and I'm sure you do this mental 1194 01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:58,400 Speaker 1: exercise sometimes too, is project back and imagine what this 1195 01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:00,960 Speaker 1: would all be like if, for in this have been 1196 01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:04,640 Speaker 1: a Bush administration pulling this kind of stunt on an 1197 01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:08,719 Speaker 1: incoming Obama administration. Um, you know we'd still be hearing 1198 01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:13,360 Speaker 1: about it today ten years later, but they don't. Look. 1199 01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:15,240 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of it. The FBI needs 1200 01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:16,920 Speaker 1: to be held to account, the DOJ needs to be 1201 01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,439 Speaker 1: held to account. I'm I'm also appalled that you don't 1202 01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:22,120 Speaker 1: see anyone in the press community asking defies the court 1203 01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:26,400 Speaker 1: for any answers, asking why the fis the court hasn't 1204 01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:30,759 Speaker 1: called the DOJ back in to account for its actions, 1205 01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:34,880 Speaker 1: explain exactly why they weren't provided all of the information, 1206 01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:38,479 Speaker 1: because you know, courts traditionally do not like to be duped. 1207 01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:41,120 Speaker 1: This is an Article three court, like any over any other. 1208 01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:44,160 Speaker 1: It has the power to demand the prosecutors who come 1209 01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:46,960 Speaker 1: in front of it explain themselves. And as so far 1210 01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:49,519 Speaker 1: as we know now, maybe we wouldn't because it's quite 1211 01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:51,799 Speaker 1: a secret of court. They haven't demand they haven't demanded 1212 01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:55,840 Speaker 1: any answers. I'm just wondering when we when we will 1213 01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:57,600 Speaker 1: get some answers here? And do you have it? Just 1214 01:11:57,760 --> 01:11:59,599 Speaker 1: before we let you go, Kim, do you have a theorist? 1215 01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:05,599 Speaker 1: Why Trump hasn't declassified some of the information about the FISA, 1216 01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:10,080 Speaker 1: or about the FISA specifically and just Russia investigation origin 1217 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:13,080 Speaker 1: stuff more generally. Because I'm befouled, I asked the President. 1218 01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:14,120 Speaker 1: He said he was going to do it, and then 1219 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:18,719 Speaker 1: he didn't do it. Yeah, well he went down that road, 1220 01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,800 Speaker 1: and then he got obviously mau maued by a lot 1221 01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:25,960 Speaker 1: of people, including his own Intelligence Committee intelligence officials, which 1222 01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:28,360 Speaker 1: I think is really unfortunate, saying well, you know, he 1223 01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:30,080 Speaker 1: can't do this, and you got to let the Inspector 1224 01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:33,360 Speaker 1: General take a look at it. And I worry that 1225 01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:35,840 Speaker 1: that process is going to result in a lot of 1226 01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:39,679 Speaker 1: redactions that are still going to deny us information we need. 1227 01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:44,080 Speaker 1: But I think that unfortunately, the President is being advised 1228 01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:46,360 Speaker 1: by people that it would be best to wait and 1229 01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:50,559 Speaker 1: tell Special Counsel Bob Muller completes his investigation so that 1230 01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:54,439 Speaker 1: he cannot in any way be accused of having engaged 1231 01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:57,400 Speaker 1: in further obstruction of that probe. I find that a 1232 01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:01,800 Speaker 1: very bogus argument, because this is transparent. Yeah, transparency is 1233 01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:06,280 Speaker 1: is not meddling, night Right. Putting more information out is 1234 01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:11,559 Speaker 1: not obstruction. It's one of the duties of government officials, 1235 01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:13,439 Speaker 1: especially because this is all going to come out to politics. 1236 01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:16,439 Speaker 1: Everybody follow Kim Strassel on Twitter if you're not already. 1237 01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:18,800 Speaker 1: Also look for her pieces on the Wall Street Journal. 1238 01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:20,679 Speaker 1: The one and only Kim Strassell.

Well, 1241 01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:32,559 Speaker 1: ask John who's Blink camera alerted him to burglars trying 1242 01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:34,599 Speaker 1: to break in while he and his family were home, 1243 01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:38,480 Speaker 1: or Shannon, who's Blink camera caught a thief stealing packages. 1244 01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:41,360 Speaker 1: Both times, Blink video clips were sent to police to 1245 01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:45,320 Speaker 1: help convict the crooks. Blink motion activated indoor and outdoor 1246 01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:47,880 Speaker 1: cameras are wire free, They can set up in minutes 1247 01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:50,439 Speaker 1: and run on two double A batteries that last up 1248 01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:53,280 Speaker 1: to two years.

Okay, they steal it right off 1255 01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:12,759 Speaker 1: your porch. You don't want that? VI is it blink 1256 01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:16,840 Speaker 1: protect dot com slash Buck.

Right now, there's a question 1259 01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:32,280 Speaker 1: then a sizeable chunk of America whether Donald Trump is 1260 01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:34,800 Speaker 1: is working on behalf of Russia. Whose side is a 1261 01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:37,439 Speaker 1: president on a Russia's side on our or our side? 1262 01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:42,200 Speaker 1: Basically Putin's lines, he wants to give Russia every item 1263 01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:45,719 Speaker 1: on its most fantastical international wish list. Putin now has 1264 01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:49,599 Speaker 1: a president of the United States who performs backflips on command. 1265 01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:52,240 Speaker 1: He has some special relationship with them and has not 1266 01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:56,240 Speaker 1: made public, and I think he's fearful that President Putin 1267 01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:59,240 Speaker 1: probably has information I'm now. Look, I know from our 1268 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:02,680 Speaker 1: trips to Russia, everything you do and say is being 1269 01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,160 Speaker 1: listened to and is being followed. But I do know 1270 01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:08,960 Speaker 1: from intelligence community personnel that I've talked to that there 1271 01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:12,439 Speaker 1: is huge credibility within the Intel community to the so 1272 01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:17,000 Speaker 1: called Steele Dosier and to many of that. There's just 1273 01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:20,000 Speaker 1: so much bs that you have to deal with the 1274 01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:24,120 Speaker 1: moment you start talking about Russia collusion and what's going 1275 01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:27,000 Speaker 1: on with it and all this stuff. I love how 1276 01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:32,400 Speaker 1: you had Scarborough, who remember, and don't forget this, Scarborough 1277 01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:36,519 Speaker 1: was chummy to the max with Trump when he thought 1278 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:40,840 Speaker 1: that it was good access for him as a TV 1279 01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:44,320 Speaker 1: personality to do so right, he was buddy buddy with 1280 01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:46,759 Speaker 1: Trump until all of a sudden Trump didn't like him anymore, 1281 01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:53,599 Speaker 1: and then he became mister never Trumper extraordinaire. That's that's 1282 01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:56,000 Speaker 1: just petty. I mean, that's just personal vendetta stuff. It 1283 01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:57,719 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with what's good for the country. 1284 01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:02,639 Speaker 1: But Scarborough says, there, oh, you know, I really think 1285 01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:04,559 Speaker 1: that there are a lot of people with questions. They 1286 01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:09,680 Speaker 1: have these questions because the media keeps asking the questions. Right. 1287 01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:12,760 Speaker 1: If you hear all the time, well, as so and 1288 01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:17,360 Speaker 1: so beating his wife, you would think if enough people 1289 01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:19,360 Speaker 1: in the media say well so and so might be 1290 01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:21,759 Speaker 1: beating his wife, you might think, hey, hold on a second, 1291 01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:27,880 Speaker 1: so that's what's going on here, And yet they they 1292 01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:31,160 Speaker 1: use right there, this is like stocking the pond and 1293 01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:33,040 Speaker 1: then fishing from the pond and being like, I didn't 1294 01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:34,400 Speaker 1: know they were a fish here. It's like no, of 1295 01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:37,400 Speaker 1: course there are. You're putting the fish there, You're putting 1296 01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:39,559 Speaker 1: the questions out there, which reminds me I haven't been 1297 01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:42,559 Speaker 1: fishing in a while. It sounds like fun. But this 1298 01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:44,400 Speaker 1: this whole thing with John Kerrett and these other people 1299 01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:49,840 Speaker 1: where they get into how Trump may be compromised, right, 1300 01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:51,240 Speaker 1: And this is where you get all these people who 1301 01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:54,240 Speaker 1: also all of a sudden are using words like compromat 1302 01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:57,400 Speaker 1: and disinformatzia and all this stuff. You know, they've learned 1303 01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:00,599 Speaker 1: a few of these Russian intel buzzwords. They use them 1304 01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,559 Speaker 1: all the time without understanding think about what they're really 1305 01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,120 Speaker 1: suggesting that Trump and you at Rachel matt All, I mean, 1306 01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:10,000 Speaker 1: this is the These are the biggest, some of them 1307 01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:15,479 Speaker 1: names on the left. These are huge platforms where people 1308 01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:18,960 Speaker 1: are just spreading lies and nonsense and gossip as though 1309 01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:22,600 Speaker 1: it's fact, and never going back to fact check the 1310 01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:27,120 Speaker 1: nonsense gossip when it's proven that it wasn't true. How 1311 01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:30,080 Speaker 1: many retractions have you seen from The Guardian, for example, 1312 01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:33,479 Speaker 1: on their story that Manafort met with Julian Assange and 1313 01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:38,360 Speaker 1: the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Guess what, That's not possible, 1314 01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:42,920 Speaker 1: meaning that it's not possible that Manafort did that, and 1315 01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:45,720 Speaker 1: there's not a clear record of it, and people wouldn't know. 1316 01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:48,519 Speaker 1: Nobody would get in or out of that embassy, the 1317 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:54,320 Speaker 1: embassy where currently Julian Assange is evading justice. Nobody would 1318 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:57,320 Speaker 1: get or evading the authorities. Whether you believe Osange is 1319 01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:59,800 Speaker 1: a good guy or not, or he's a journalist or not. 1320 01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:04,040 Speaker 1: Lead that conversation to another time, but without a clear 1321 01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:06,960 Speaker 1: record of it that would be verifiable one way or 1322 01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:10,719 Speaker 1: the other. This now is just something that people say. 1323 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:15,120 Speaker 1: It's become a fashion. It's become almost a social convention. 1324 01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:17,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Trump Russia, you know he's doing Russia's bidding. 1325 01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:22,760 Speaker 1: How is he doing Russia's bidding? Well, well, first let's 1326 01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:25,040 Speaker 1: get to how they think that Russia would even make 1327 01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:30,680 Speaker 1: him do that by what exactly, By the promise of 1328 01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:35,160 Speaker 1: Trump Tower Moscow. Trump's already really rich. I would note 1329 01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:38,760 Speaker 1: that even if this BuzzFeed story is true, there is 1330 01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:44,240 Speaker 1: nothing in it that we can point to in terms 1331 01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:48,920 Speaker 1: of the possible Trump Tower Russia or Trump Moscow building 1332 01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:54,080 Speaker 1: that's illegal. There's nothing about the business approach that is illegal. 1333 01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:56,280 Speaker 1: You might say it's unseemingly, but I'm not going to 1334 01:18:56,360 --> 01:19:00,280 Speaker 1: take lectures about unseemly presidential candidates, an unseeingly president from 1335 01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:03,040 Speaker 1: the people who thought that Hillary Clinton and her husband 1336 01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:10,480 Speaker 1: are worth one hundred million dollars off of speeches. Folks, speeches, 1337 01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:13,960 Speaker 1: think about that, no one's speeches. I'm in this business. 1338 01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:16,360 Speaker 1: I know what people get paid for speeches. By the way, 1339 01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:18,439 Speaker 1: if you want to hire Bucks Exon for a speech sometime, 1340 01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:22,040 Speaker 1: just reach out to me on Facebook. But no one 1341 01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:24,840 Speaker 1: is worth eight hundred thousand dollars for speech. And I 1342 01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:28,000 Speaker 1: mean that, no one you pay eight hundred thousand dollars 1343 01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:30,600 Speaker 1: for a speech, which is what Clinton got from a 1344 01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:34,280 Speaker 1: Russian government linked bank because they were trying to buy 1345 01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,559 Speaker 1: influence and access that Clintons were for sale, both of them. 1346 01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:41,040 Speaker 1: We know this. So you know, while while I'm not 1347 01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:42,680 Speaker 1: going to stand here and tell you that I think 1348 01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:44,880 Speaker 1: that every time that Donald Trump is engaged in a 1349 01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:49,680 Speaker 1: business transaction, he's just being as as pure as the 1350 01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:54,120 Speaker 1: driven snow here, but I also think that what's the standard. 1351 01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:58,360 Speaker 1: And you have this insane looney left that is trying 1352 01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:00,800 Speaker 1: to say that they have info on Trump, Well, what 1353 01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:04,120 Speaker 1: could that info even be? They've tried this whole porn 1354 01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:07,000 Speaker 1: star blackmail thing. I mean, how do you This is 1355 01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:08,479 Speaker 1: the real question. I mean, this is one I'm trying 1356 01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:13,000 Speaker 1: to get you. How do you blackmail Donald Trump? Really 1357 01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:15,479 Speaker 1: think about that one for a moment. What would you 1358 01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:17,479 Speaker 1: have to have on Trump? I mean, you would have 1359 01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:22,040 Speaker 1: to have not a little bit of what hard, hard 1360 01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:26,080 Speaker 1: knuckle real estate tactics come on a little bit of 1361 01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:30,559 Speaker 1: coloring outside the lines on getting permission to build something somewhere. 1362 01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:33,800 Speaker 1: You think you think you're gonna blackmail Donald Trump over that. 1363 01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,840 Speaker 1: This is a guy who had a lawyer's making payouts 1364 01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:39,880 Speaker 1: to porn stars. Whether you think he had the affair 1365 01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:41,600 Speaker 1: or not, he had got a blackmail him over this 1366 01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:48,360 Speaker 1: and just the whole bizarre you know, Golden Shower, Dossie, 1367 01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:50,200 Speaker 1: I think, but all of it, it's just these people 1368 01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:52,560 Speaker 1: have lost their minds, and then they take it the 1369 01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:55,320 Speaker 1: step even further where it's all about NATO. Look, this 1370 01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:57,799 Speaker 1: is the kind of stuff Trump says about NATO playclip nine. 1371 01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:01,720 Speaker 1: We cannot be the fools for others. We're going to 1372 01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:04,919 Speaker 1: be with NATO one. But as I told the countries, 1373 01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:09,519 Speaker 1: you have to step up. You have to pay minimum numbers. 1374 01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:12,840 Speaker 1: Actually that they set a two percent goal. Very few 1375 01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:15,680 Speaker 1: pay that that they should be much higher than that. 1376 01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:19,680 Speaker 1: Look at what we pay, it's massively higher than that. 1377 01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,760 Speaker 1: Countries are now stepping up and they can well afford to. 1378 01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:30,599 Speaker 1: Trump is advocating for NATO countries to spend more money 1379 01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:35,599 Speaker 1: on their defense, which, at least in theory under the NATO, 1380 01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:39,519 Speaker 1: under NATO's found in charter, it's supposed to be about 1381 01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:43,479 Speaker 1: dealing with then Soviet Now I guess Russian aggression. So 1382 01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:47,400 Speaker 1: Trump says, I want our European partners paying more, which 1383 01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:50,400 Speaker 1: means a bigger millie. He wants them to have bigger militaries, 1384 01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:52,960 Speaker 1: and that's doing Putin's bidding. We have to hear from 1385 01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:56,280 Speaker 1: idiots like this guy, Congressman Meeks about play clip ten. 1386 01:21:58,000 --> 01:21:59,760 Speaker 1: He is a guy that I would believe that if 1387 01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:02,719 Speaker 1: you talk to him three or four years before running 1388 01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:04,920 Speaker 1: for president, he probably didn't even know what NATO is. 1389 01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:10,680 Speaker 1: But but now you know, he has devalued NATO and 1390 01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:14,720 Speaker 1: the EU to such a degree that it is plausible 1391 01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:16,479 Speaker 1: to me that he would have had this back to 1392 01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:21,000 Speaker 1: a conversation with batter Putin about to withdraw from NATO more. 1393 01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:24,160 Speaker 1: But this is from a congressman more Putin theorized based 1394 01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:29,080 Speaker 1: on what nothing think enough, he's saying space, he wants 1395 01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:32,080 Speaker 1: our NATO Allens has spend more money on their defense, 1396 01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:35,840 Speaker 1: which is a which is hugely problematic if you're putin 1397 01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:39,400 Speaker 1: and you're thinking about aggression in the near future. But 1398 01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:41,519 Speaker 1: now they're going to say that. You know, these are 1399 01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:45,599 Speaker 1: just conspiracies, folks. Is all Russia conspiracies stuff, It really is. 1400 01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:48,800 Speaker 1: But they're not going to stop, so we have to 1401 01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:51,599 Speaker 1: keep fighting back. We have no choice. I'd rather focus 1402 01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:53,760 Speaker 1: on ways to make the country stronger and better, but 1403 01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:57,599 Speaker 1: they want to just get into this Russia lunacy. Look, 1404 01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:00,799 Speaker 1: the AARP is pretty well known, and you or somebody 1405 01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:02,439 Speaker 1: you know might already be a member of it. But 1406 01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:05,639 Speaker 1: did you already know that the AARP is a pretty 1407 01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:10,240 Speaker 1: left wing organization, all about government control of healthcare and 1408 01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:13,599 Speaker 1: higher taxes for the middle class and just bigger government 1409 01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:17,639 Speaker 1: in general. Well that's why I recommend AMAC. Why AMAC.

I generally it don't find there to be 1421 01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:04,000 Speaker 1: a lot of life wisdom for any of us from 1422 01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:08,479 Speaker 1: entertainment celebrities, although I will say that of the people 1423 01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:13,200 Speaker 1: in the entertainment world that are at least worth listening 1424 01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:17,960 Speaker 1: to in terms of the bumps and bruises they've gotten 1425 01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:21,320 Speaker 1: along the way, comedians comedians certainly have it rough. I mean, 1426 01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:24,120 Speaker 1: it is a tough thing to try and be a 1427 01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:29,599 Speaker 1: working comedian. It is a very difficult progression to get 1428 01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:31,719 Speaker 1: to a place where you're actually even making a living, 1429 01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:36,240 Speaker 1: never mind being somebody who is as famous as Conan O'Brien. 1430 01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:39,960 Speaker 1: But I saw this interview in the New York Times 1431 01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:43,200 Speaker 1: about how Conan O'Brien is, and this will make sense 1432 01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:45,559 Speaker 1: in a second. Why I'm telling you this, Conor O'Brien 1433 01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:50,280 Speaker 1: is scaling back his show from an hour to thirty 1434 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:53,200 Speaker 1: minutes he's doing a podcast, He's trying all these different mediums. 1435 01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:55,840 Speaker 1: He's switching things around, and I like this because I'm 1436 01:24:55,880 --> 01:25:00,599 Speaker 1: somebody who also is trying different things, done a little 1437 01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:03,120 Speaker 1: bit of podcast here and there. Obviously, this show is 1438 01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:06,599 Speaker 1: also able to be listened as a podcast, but it's 1439 01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:09,280 Speaker 1: really a traditional radio show. But I done some other 1440 01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:12,320 Speaker 1: podcasts and done some other work on digital TV and 1441 01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:14,720 Speaker 1: all these different things. And you know, a part of 1442 01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:18,240 Speaker 1: it is that you have to do what is true 1443 01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:21,600 Speaker 1: for you. You know what your day to day is 1444 01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,439 Speaker 1: going to be, what you want your life to be like, 1445 01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:26,920 Speaker 1: and no one's going to do that for you. And 1446 01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:29,920 Speaker 1: I think Colon O'Brien's kind of recognize that and for 1447 01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,639 Speaker 1: all of us, whether you're in entertainment or I'm sure 1448 01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:36,120 Speaker 1: the vast majority have real jobs and are not an entertainment. 1449 01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:39,519 Speaker 1: I think there's some pretty interesting advice that he not 1450 01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:42,720 Speaker 1: even advice, just some some insight in this interview that 1451 01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:44,360 Speaker 1: he has. So this is a New York Times interview 1452 01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:47,200 Speaker 1: with Conan O'Brien about all the changes and how his 1453 01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:50,479 Speaker 1: show is getting shorter, and how he's doing all these 1454 01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:53,400 Speaker 1: different digital plays and digital opportunities. Here's what he said, 1455 01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:55,960 Speaker 1: is this how you want to go out with a 1456 01:25:56,040 --> 01:26:00,479 Speaker 1: show that gets smaller and smaller until it's gone. Colin responds, 1457 01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:03,559 Speaker 1: maybe that's okay. I think you have more of a 1458 01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:05,360 Speaker 1: problem with it than I do. At this point in 1459 01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:08,280 Speaker 1: my career, I could go out with a grand twenty 1460 01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:11,640 Speaker 1: one gun salute and climb into a rocket and the 1461 01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:14,639 Speaker 1: entire Supreme Court walks out and they jointly press a button. 1462 01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:17,280 Speaker 1: I'm shot up into the air and there's an explosion, 1463 01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:20,200 Speaker 1: and it's orange and it spells goodnight and God love. 1464 01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:23,640 Speaker 1: In this culture, two years later, it's going to be 1465 01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:27,040 Speaker 1: who's coning. This is going to sound grim, but eventually 1466 01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:31,200 Speaker 1: all our graves go unattended. That is pretty grim for 1467 01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:34,000 Speaker 1: a comedian, I have to say. But I can appreciate 1468 01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:39,080 Speaker 1: something of the sentiment here, which is that entertainment is 1469 01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:42,519 Speaker 1: just that, and people also, I think, make a much 1470 01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:46,040 Speaker 1: bigger deal out of all of us have much too 1471 01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:52,080 Speaker 1: much of our own value is tied in with our career, 1472 01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:55,960 Speaker 1: whatever that may be, And particularly for people who were 1473 01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:58,680 Speaker 1: in the public eye, there's a sense that if you 1474 01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:02,439 Speaker 1: weren't still doing this job, you would cease to exist. 1475 01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:05,719 Speaker 1: I see this all the time in the media business, 1476 01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:09,040 Speaker 1: in the news business, where there are people who clearly 1477 01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:12,040 Speaker 1: would be better off tending more to their family and 1478 01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:16,080 Speaker 1: just getting emotionally and spiritually healthy. You know, they've been 1479 01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:18,639 Speaker 1: doing this for twenty or thirty years, but they really 1480 01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:21,439 Speaker 1: think that all the clocks will stop if they step 1481 01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:24,080 Speaker 1: away from it. You know, all of life as we 1482 01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:26,120 Speaker 1: know it will come to a halt if they're not 1483 01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:29,599 Speaker 1: the one presenting the news at seven o'clock every night. 1484 01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:33,439 Speaker 1: It's not true. It's the same thing with entertainers. There 1485 01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:34,960 Speaker 1: are plenty of other people who can do it. I 1486 01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:37,120 Speaker 1: know that most entertainers would say they do it because 1487 01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:40,880 Speaker 1: they love it. Look, I love this job, but there's 1488 01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:43,280 Speaker 1: always something more important than your job. It's what I'm 1489 01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:46,560 Speaker 1: trying to get at it. I think there's a necessary perspective, 1490 01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:50,160 Speaker 1: and especially in our current culture where everyone's engaging I 1491 01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:53,320 Speaker 1: mean self promotion. Now it doesn't matter if you're selling 1492 01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:57,600 Speaker 1: t Cozy's online or if you're trying to be a 1493 01:27:57,680 --> 01:28:01,840 Speaker 1: TV host, self promotion photos, all this stuff. We're just 1494 01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:04,559 Speaker 1: surrounded with it all the time, and it does I 1495 01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:07,400 Speaker 1: think for some existential questions where we say to ourselves, 1496 01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:10,200 Speaker 1: you know, what is this really even all about. Sure, 1497 01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:15,680 Speaker 1: I'm all for capitalism and having a growing business, and 1498 01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:17,720 Speaker 1: you've got to be involved in a business and not 1499 01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:20,400 Speaker 1: a hobby when you're talking about your professional stuff. I 1500 01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:23,960 Speaker 1: get that, but there's also a context for it, there's 1501 01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:28,639 Speaker 1: a necessary perspective. Conan goes onto this interview and by 1502 01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:30,559 Speaker 1: the way, the interviewer said the same thing that I 1503 01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:32,400 Speaker 1: or had to say, I'm feeling, and I did, which 1504 01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:35,439 Speaker 1: is your right? That does sound grim. Then Conan said 1505 01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:39,439 Speaker 1: this quote, Well, sorry, but Calvin Coolidge was a pretty 1506 01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:42,920 Speaker 1: popular president. I've been to his grave in Vermont. It 1507 01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:46,240 Speaker 1: has the presidential seal on it. Nobody was there. And 1508 01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:48,120 Speaker 1: by the way, I'm the only late night host that 1509 01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:50,800 Speaker 1: has been to Calvin Coolidge's grave. I think that's what 1510 01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:53,479 Speaker 1: separates me from the other hosts. I had a great 1511 01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:56,120 Speaker 1: conversation with Albert Brooks once. When I met him for 1512 01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:58,439 Speaker 1: the first time. I was kind of stammering. I said, 1513 01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:01,240 Speaker 1: you make movies, they live on forever. I just do 1514 01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:03,920 Speaker 1: these late night shows. They get lost, they're never seen again, 1515 01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:06,360 Speaker 1: and who cares. And he looked at me and he said, 1516 01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:10,760 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? None of it matters, None 1517 01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:14,960 Speaker 1: of it matters. No that's the secret. In nineteen forty, 1518 01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:17,960 Speaker 1: people said Clark Gable is the face of the twentieth century. 1519 01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:22,479 Speaker 1: Who the blank thinks about Clark Gable doesn't matter. You'll 1520 01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:27,479 Speaker 1: be forgotten, I'll be forgotten, We'll all be forgotten. It's 1521 01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:30,960 Speaker 1: so funny because you'd think that would depress me. I 1522 01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:34,960 Speaker 1: was walking on air after that. I understand what he's 1523 01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:38,200 Speaker 1: going for here. First of all, Calvin Coolidge is the 1524 01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:40,840 Speaker 1: prototype of what an American president should be, which is 1525 01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:43,240 Speaker 1: a guy who just does the job without a ton 1526 01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:46,439 Speaker 1: of fanfare and doesn't mess things up for people, and 1527 01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:49,479 Speaker 1: it's just there to do a job, not there to 1528 01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:54,160 Speaker 1: be some deity, not there to try to pretend that 1529 01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:56,439 Speaker 1: he's going to solve everybody's problems or that he's going 1530 01:29:56,479 --> 01:29:58,479 Speaker 1: to make all the bad things in the world go away. 1531 01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:00,760 Speaker 1: Just a guy doing a job. I do wish we 1532 01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:04,679 Speaker 1: could get back to that, less cult like and less 1533 01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:09,919 Speaker 1: celebrity obsessed, not just presidency but culture overall. But that's 1534 01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:12,960 Speaker 1: where I would come in here and say he's right, 1535 01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:17,479 Speaker 1: meaning Conan is right, Albert Brooks was right. None of 1536 01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:20,320 Speaker 1: this really matters in a profound, long term sense. You 1537 01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:23,519 Speaker 1: know your job, who whatever you do whatever your job is. 1538 01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:26,080 Speaker 1: You're listening to this across the country. It doesn't really matter. Sure, 1539 01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:27,559 Speaker 1: you've got to put food on the table for you 1540 01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:31,320 Speaker 1: and your family. It has purpose, but we have to 1541 01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:35,360 Speaker 1: derive and this gets into some of the conversation around 1542 01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:39,719 Speaker 1: the Tucker Carlson monologue recently. We have to find purpose 1543 01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:43,520 Speaker 1: beyond just our work and our labor and our careers. 1544 01:30:44,360 --> 01:30:47,240 Speaker 1: And that's where you get into how it's actually the 1545 01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:51,160 Speaker 1: stuff that many of us think of as what's around 1546 01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:54,400 Speaker 1: our jobs, what is sometimes even in the way of 1547 01:30:54,400 --> 01:31:00,439 Speaker 1: our jobs that really matters. It's your family. It's your spouse, kids, 1548 01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:05,280 Speaker 1: your brothers and sisters, mom and dad, aunt's, uncle's cousins, 1549 01:31:05,320 --> 01:31:07,639 Speaker 1: all the rest of it. It's your friends. It's how 1550 01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:10,920 Speaker 1: you treat people. It's how you make people feel around 1551 01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:15,400 Speaker 1: you every day. It's the small contributions you make to 1552 01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:19,280 Speaker 1: putting those around you more at ease with how you 1553 01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:23,000 Speaker 1: treat them and how you act. And that is professionally 1554 01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:26,599 Speaker 1: and personally. That's the only stuff in a way that 1555 01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:30,360 Speaker 1: really matters in a day to day sense. And then 1556 01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:33,360 Speaker 1: also obviously your relationship with God. And that's what I 1557 01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:37,680 Speaker 1: meant about spiritual health. Before that all matters whether you're 1558 01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:40,360 Speaker 1: doing an hour show or a thirty minute show or 1559 01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:44,920 Speaker 1: any of that stuff. It's just at the end of 1560 01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:46,960 Speaker 1: the day or at the end of all of our days, 1561 01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:50,240 Speaker 1: no one is really going to remember all that. And 1562 01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:53,000 Speaker 1: I think that now more than ever before, there is 1563 01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:57,280 Speaker 1: a sense that we can achieve a kind of immortality 1564 01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:03,360 Speaker 1: through the success whatever, however you define that, the success 1565 01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:06,360 Speaker 1: of what it is that you're doing. And really it's 1566 01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:11,040 Speaker 1: more about the success of how you've been as a person. 1567 01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:14,479 Speaker 1: What are you really like? What do you value? What 1568 01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:17,719 Speaker 1: have you done for those around you? Have you served 1569 01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:21,439 Speaker 1: the people around you? Have you served a purpose for them? 1570 01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:25,599 Speaker 1: Does your life have a meaning that is positive at 1571 01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:27,759 Speaker 1: the end of the day, and that is not measured 1572 01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:31,120 Speaker 1: in dollars or ratings or any of that other or 1573 01:32:31,200 --> 01:32:35,600 Speaker 1: social media you know, Twitter, following, Instagram following. That is 1574 01:32:35,680 --> 01:32:39,120 Speaker 1: all incredibly transient, and I think it's becoming even more 1575 01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:43,000 Speaker 1: transient as time passes. People are realizing that clicks and 1576 01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:49,400 Speaker 1: likes and shares, all this stuff is in the end meaningless. 1577 01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:54,040 Speaker 1: And there's also a freedom that comes from this to 1578 01:32:54,200 --> 01:32:57,120 Speaker 1: know what doesn't really matter, is to know what you 1579 01:32:57,240 --> 01:33:00,880 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about and that's why I know 1580 01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:05,160 Speaker 1: this this little little segment where Color O'Brien was just saying, 1581 01:33:06,240 --> 01:33:08,240 Speaker 1: whether I do a thirty minute show an hour show, 1582 01:33:08,360 --> 01:33:10,160 Speaker 1: or whether I'm the best comedian in the country or 1583 01:33:10,160 --> 01:33:13,280 Speaker 1: no one knows who I am, That's not what is 1584 01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:17,080 Speaker 1: really important. And I do think there's also a conversation 1585 01:33:17,120 --> 01:33:19,599 Speaker 1: about each and every one of us. Part of our 1586 01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:22,720 Speaker 1: purpose is to find our purpose and to understand what 1587 01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:25,559 Speaker 1: is important for you in your life. But all right, 1588 01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:29,800 Speaker 1: enough of the enough of the spiritual talk. I've got 1589 01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:31,240 Speaker 1: a quick news store I wanted to hit with you, 1590 01:33:31,240 --> 01:33:33,840 Speaker 1: and then we will get two roll calls. Stay right there. 1591 01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:38,479 Speaker 1: Here's a story that I think is a pretty good 1592 01:33:38,479 --> 01:33:42,160 Speaker 1: one to get ready for a weekend with. Here. This 1593 01:33:42,240 --> 01:33:45,479 Speaker 1: is pretty incredible. This was reported on by the in 1594 01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:48,599 Speaker 1: the UK by the Mirror. So there was this al 1595 01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:54,000 Speaker 1: Shabab terror attack that that just happened. What was a 1596 01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:57,600 Speaker 1: few days ago where you had Al Shabab, which is 1597 01:33:57,640 --> 01:34:02,000 Speaker 1: an al Qaeda linked group in Somalia. It's basically the 1598 01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:06,080 Speaker 1: jihadest entity of Somalia and it has engaged in some 1599 01:34:06,280 --> 01:34:11,160 Speaker 1: very high profile terror attacks in the past and neighboring Kenya, well, 1600 01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:14,560 Speaker 1: it turns out there was a one of these attacks 1601 01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:18,599 Speaker 1: at a hotel in Kenya. Altrabab attacks was going on 1602 01:34:18,760 --> 01:34:23,720 Speaker 1: and this whole hotel complex killed fourteen people, including a 1603 01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:28,080 Speaker 1: British charity worker. So terrible this this attack that went 1604 01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:30,200 Speaker 1: on and you took a lot of a lot of 1605 01:34:30,200 --> 01:34:35,320 Speaker 1: innocent people brutally murdered. Horrific stuff. One part of the 1606 01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:38,160 Speaker 1: story though, that I just found out today is that 1607 01:34:38,200 --> 01:34:42,680 Speaker 1: there was a British SAS, which is their equivalent of 1608 01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:45,960 Speaker 1: essentially a Tier one military unit like the like Seal 1609 01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:52,080 Speaker 1: Team six or the Delta or Delta Force. British SAS 1610 01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:55,559 Speaker 1: counter terrorism trainer just happened to be out on a 1611 01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:58,840 Speaker 1: personal shopping trip, you know, just go get i don't know, 1612 01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:03,360 Speaker 1: food or clothing whatever needed. Happened to be nearby and 1613 01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:07,240 Speaker 1: he heard what was going on when they were storming 1614 01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:11,280 Speaker 1: this hotel, heard the gunfire, he sprinted to his car. 1615 01:35:11,720 --> 01:35:14,960 Speaker 1: He had his counter terror training equipment in the car, 1616 01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:20,880 Speaker 1: so he got all geared up and went in there 1617 01:35:20,960 --> 01:35:24,479 Speaker 1: and went, you know, room clearing in this hotel to 1618 01:35:24,560 --> 01:35:28,040 Speaker 1: get people out. And it's a pretty amazing story. I mean, 1619 01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:32,160 Speaker 1: it really is like the plot of Under Siege or 1620 01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:33,960 Speaker 1: you know, die Hard or one of these movies where 1621 01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:36,800 Speaker 1: there's one person who just happens to be the one 1622 01:35:36,920 --> 01:35:41,439 Speaker 1: right guy at the time to intervene when a terrible 1623 01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:46,799 Speaker 1: terrorists act like this is under way. So I'm assuming 1624 01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:49,080 Speaker 1: that we're going to find out more information about this 1625 01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:53,160 Speaker 1: that this sas terror trainer. I mean, there's photos of him. 1626 01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:57,680 Speaker 1: They've blurred his face, but he's evacuating people out. I mean, 1627 01:35:57,720 --> 01:36:01,160 Speaker 1: and he is just completely he's all geared up and 1628 01:36:01,439 --> 01:36:05,479 Speaker 1: he's going in there. You know, he told the local 1629 01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:08,479 Speaker 1: police to wait. I mean, he's smart. He knows that 1630 01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:11,559 Speaker 1: friendly fire blue on blue here is one of the 1631 01:36:11,560 --> 01:36:14,000 Speaker 1: biggest problems a guy like him would have to be 1632 01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:17,080 Speaker 1: on the lookout for, other than the highly armed, you know, 1633 01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:20,519 Speaker 1: a K forty seven wielding terrorists that were inside. So 1634 01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:23,680 Speaker 1: a pretty amazing story and just goes to show you 1635 01:36:23,680 --> 01:36:27,880 Speaker 1: you never know.

And this guy, 1639 01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:37,000 Speaker 1: we don't. I don't even think we know his I 1640 01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:42,320 Speaker 1: don't think they released his name, so he's they certainly 1641 01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:44,600 Speaker 1: are not showing his face. Yeah, they didn't release his 1642 01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:49,880 Speaker 1: name either. Pretty remarkable though, reporting here out of the 1643 01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:52,880 Speaker 1: UK Mirror.

I got a long weekend actually, although 1655 01:37:38,400 --> 01:37:41,519 Speaker 1: I don't even know, Hey, producer, Mike, are we on radio? 1656 01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:44,960 Speaker 1: Are we on radio Monday or not? That's probably something 1657 01:37:45,439 --> 01:37:50,320 Speaker 1: that I should find out, because you know, I'm the 1658 01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:53,760 Speaker 1: host and all that good stuff, so that's important. That's 1659 01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:57,080 Speaker 1: your home. Are you too good for your home?

Now, as amazing as it may sound, that 1666 01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:17,559 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you have to listen to me twenty four 1667 01:38:17,600 --> 01:38:20,120 Speaker 1: to seven. It just means that at any point in 1668 01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:23,040 Speaker 1: your busy day, your schedule, you can just go to 1669 01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:25,760 Speaker 1: the iHeart app and listen that way. So if you 1670 01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:28,240 Speaker 1: ever feel like you've missed out on your local station 1671 01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:31,160 Speaker 1: or you didn't download the podcast you got Wi Fi, 1672 01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:34,760 Speaker 1: you can just go on the iHeart app. Otherwise, iTunes 1673 01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:39,960 Speaker 1: is a great place to download the podcast. And with that, 1674 01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:44,880 Speaker 1: TJ my man. TJ has a shield Tige T shirt 1675 01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:48,320 Speaker 1: in his profile photo, so he has a special place 1676 01:38:48,520 --> 01:38:51,959 Speaker 1: in Team Buck's heart. Buck, how do you get swindled 1677 01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:54,760 Speaker 1: in sharing that got awful parody music video about the 1678 01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:58,479 Speaker 1: shutdown this morning? On Rising? That was awful? You really 1679 01:38:58,520 --> 01:39:00,839 Speaker 1: need to chew out the producers there you haven't already. 1680 01:39:01,080 --> 01:39:03,200 Speaker 1: I know you said it, but nine thousand views is 1681 01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:06,479 Speaker 1: not exactly going viral. Also, in regards to Cardi B, 1682 01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:09,599 Speaker 1: didn't she have a video not too long ago complaining 1683 01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:12,600 Speaker 1: about paying taxes? I'm guessing if she didn't have to 1684 01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:15,280 Speaker 1: pay taxes during government shutdown, she'd be changing her tune 1685 01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:18,519 Speaker 1: pretty quick. I'm all for not paying taxes during a 1686 01:39:18,560 --> 01:39:23,800 Speaker 1: government shutdown. PS. I don't know about Cardi B's tax policies. 1687 01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:28,599 Speaker 1: I do know that that video, the parody video, sucked 1688 01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:30,760 Speaker 1: and was not something that I think we should have 1689 01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:33,840 Speaker 1: put on air on Rising. But I don't get to 1690 01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:36,439 Speaker 1: make all the decisions there. One of the reasons I 1691 01:39:36,479 --> 01:39:38,760 Speaker 1: love radio so much is I do get to make 1692 01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:44,000 Speaker 1: the decisions here. This is this is pure, unfiltered, unadulterated 1693 01:39:44,600 --> 01:39:48,559 Speaker 1: buck tasticness here, unlike on the TV, TV is always 1694 01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:51,760 Speaker 1: more collaborative in general, but especially when you're doing a 1695 01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:55,240 Speaker 1: left right show and some other stuff like that, you 1696 01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:59,720 Speaker 1: need to You needed to loot the buck a little bit, 1697 01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:01,639 Speaker 1: which is not the way I like to do things. 1698 01:40:01,960 --> 01:40:06,639 Speaker 1: Jen writes, Buck, Happy New Year. Two things look up 1699 01:40:06,760 --> 01:40:11,439 Speaker 1: Paul check a holistic health guy, Superjack fifty five years old, 1700 01:40:11,920 --> 01:40:14,240 Speaker 1: common sense health and fitness stuff. And secondly, how is 1701 01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:16,120 Speaker 1: miss Molly. I hope you two are still together. I've 1702 01:40:16,160 --> 01:40:18,320 Speaker 1: not heard you speak of her of late. Happy Friday, 1703 01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:21,479 Speaker 1: Shields high Jen, Jen, Miss Molly's fine she's just traveling 1704 01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:23,640 Speaker 1: for work right now. She's away for a few for 1705 01:40:23,680 --> 01:40:26,240 Speaker 1: a few weeks, sometimes she has to go. She works 1706 01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:28,479 Speaker 1: in the fashion industry, and so she has to go 1707 01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:32,799 Speaker 1: on these essentially road shows where she meets with different 1708 01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:37,120 Speaker 1: clients and different buyers all around the country and sometimes 1709 01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:39,760 Speaker 1: even overseas. So miss Molly's great. I will tell her 1710 01:40:39,800 --> 01:40:44,000 Speaker 1: the team was asking for her. And as for this guy, 1711 01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:50,680 Speaker 1: Paul Check, I will check him out. So there you 1712 01:40:50,800 --> 01:40:54,080 Speaker 1: have wra Sorry, and it's late on a Friday. You 1713 01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:56,000 Speaker 1: gotta give me a little leeway here to let some 1714 01:40:56,000 --> 01:41:00,840 Speaker 1: some bad ones. Let some bad ones fly occasion. Occasionally 1715 01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:10,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, now, simcha right, Dear Zvi gabye A 1716 01:41:10,240 --> 01:41:15,640 Speaker 1: rough translation of buck Sexton into Hebrew. This photo is 1717 01:41:15,720 --> 01:41:19,479 Speaker 1: from my car as I drive from the suburb where 1718 01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:23,040 Speaker 1: I live into Jerusalem for work. Years ago, this highway 1719 01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:25,880 Speaker 1: was a target for rock attacks or shootings. It's been 1720 01:41:25,920 --> 01:41:28,519 Speaker 1: safe for a while because walls work and because we 1721 01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:30,679 Speaker 1: hear in Israel know how to keep our shields high. 1722 01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:34,720 Speaker 1: All the best, Sam, Well, Sam. First of all, thank 1723 01:41:34,760 --> 01:41:38,120 Speaker 1: you for telling me my Hebrew name ZV. You can 1724 01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:40,320 Speaker 1: always write hey V and I'll know who you're talking 1725 01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:43,960 Speaker 1: about now. As to walls working, yes, I mean that's 1726 01:41:43,960 --> 01:41:46,760 Speaker 1: what I was. I didn't learn it this week. I 1727 01:41:46,800 --> 01:41:50,200 Speaker 1: just had it reinforced this week by all these different 1728 01:41:50,240 --> 01:41:54,479 Speaker 1: members of border patrol who just can't imagine how all 1729 01:41:54,520 --> 01:41:57,240 Speaker 1: these talking heads and all these so called experts on 1730 01:41:57,280 --> 01:41:59,760 Speaker 1: different things and go on TV and just be so 1731 01:41:59,800 --> 01:42:03,520 Speaker 1: foolish when they talk about walls. I mean, walls obviously 1732 01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:07,280 Speaker 1: work and are very effective as a form of protection 1733 01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:12,800 Speaker 1: and security and border separation. And you in Israel have 1734 01:42:13,080 --> 01:42:16,479 Speaker 1: shown the whole world this Israel was in I remember 1735 01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:18,360 Speaker 1: back in two thousand and one, two thousand and two, 1736 01:42:18,400 --> 01:42:23,759 Speaker 1: is in really rough shape with all the suicide bombings 1737 01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:28,120 Speaker 1: that were happening and the infiltration of these different hamass 1738 01:42:28,240 --> 01:42:33,120 Speaker 1: operative operatives and you know, all the Cassam brigades and 1739 01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:36,040 Speaker 1: Al Kood's and all this different stuff that was going on. 1740 01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:39,439 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm glad it worked for Israel obviously, and 1741 01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:42,320 Speaker 1: I hope we have learned from Israel's lesson, although the 1742 01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:46,920 Speaker 1: Democrats certainly haven't. Julie Rights, hey back, I'm sorry. I 1743 01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:48,920 Speaker 1: want to know why illegal immigrants are allowed to have 1744 01:42:48,960 --> 01:42:52,040 Speaker 1: their children while US citizens are losing custody rights based 1745 01:42:52,040 --> 01:42:56,240 Speaker 1: on a disability. Your show is great, Thank you, Julie. 1746 01:42:56,280 --> 01:43:00,439 Speaker 1: I don't know about this US citizens losing custody question 1747 01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:03,840 Speaker 1: over disabilities, so I'd have to ask about that. I 1748 01:43:03,920 --> 01:43:06,400 Speaker 1: will say that, you know one part of the and 1749 01:43:06,520 --> 01:43:08,720 Speaker 1: thank you for saying my show is great. I appreciate that. 1750 01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:14,439 Speaker 1: One part of the child separation discussion that does not 1751 01:43:14,560 --> 01:43:17,360 Speaker 1: get enough focus is that children are separated from parents 1752 01:43:17,360 --> 01:43:20,479 Speaker 1: in this country without anyone being convicted of a crime 1753 01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:24,200 Speaker 1: all the time. And that's with citizens. Children are separated 1754 01:43:24,200 --> 01:43:27,120 Speaker 1: from parents if there's if there's a credible reason to 1755 01:43:27,320 --> 01:43:31,200 Speaker 1: believe there's abuse, I mean child services. Child services don't 1756 01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:33,000 Speaker 1: show up and say, oh, you haven't been convicted of 1757 01:43:33,040 --> 01:43:34,880 Speaker 1: felony abuse, We're just going to leave the kid here. 1758 01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:38,479 Speaker 1: Child services can and do take children away from people 1759 01:43:39,320 --> 01:43:42,760 Speaker 1: based upon a feeling that they need to protect them 1760 01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:46,960 Speaker 1: from possible child abuse or to you know, make sure 1761 01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:50,479 Speaker 1: they don't suffer continued child abuse. So that does happen 1762 01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:53,120 Speaker 1: in this country, and you do not get much discussion 1763 01:43:53,280 --> 01:43:57,000 Speaker 1: of it. Rocky rights. Netflix should have taken a cue 1764 01:43:57,000 --> 01:43:59,320 Speaker 1: from the Dems. Have some one of the companies say 1765 01:43:59,320 --> 01:44:01,200 Speaker 1: they want to raise your rates fifty percent. All the 1766 01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:05,759 Speaker 1: customers freak. Then cooler heads prevail. They appear to chastise 1767 01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:08,599 Speaker 1: the person they only raise a reasonable sum. Customers let 1768 01:44:08,600 --> 01:44:15,000 Speaker 1: out a sigh of relief. Well, Rocky, that's an interesting 1769 01:44:15,160 --> 01:44:20,720 Speaker 1: approach for sure. Steve Wright Shield's high buck. My name 1770 01:44:20,760 --> 01:44:23,479 Speaker 1: is Steve. I'm a truck driver and this may sound weird, 1771 01:44:23,760 --> 01:44:27,040 Speaker 1: but you're in my cab every night. Lol. I love 1772 01:44:27,080 --> 01:44:29,160 Speaker 1: your show. I enjoy it. A little over a week ago, 1773 01:44:29,200 --> 01:44:31,760 Speaker 1: you mentioned a Sasquatch movie. Do you remember the name? 1774 01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:34,200 Speaker 1: I can't find it. This is the first time I 1775 01:44:34,240 --> 01:44:36,519 Speaker 1: send anyone a message outside of friends and family. I'm 1776 01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:38,960 Speaker 1: sending this note, but thanks for all the information. You're 1777 01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:40,680 Speaker 1: very good at what you do. It'd be great to 1778 01:44:40,720 --> 01:44:44,920 Speaker 1: hear you back when you are back from California. Stay safe, Steve, Well, 1779 01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:47,000 Speaker 1: Steve meant. It is my honor and it is a 1780 01:44:47,040 --> 01:44:52,000 Speaker 1: privilege to keep you company while you are engaged in 1781 01:44:52,040 --> 01:44:55,400 Speaker 1: the very necessary transport of goods. My friend, you are 1782 01:44:55,439 --> 01:44:59,160 Speaker 1: a soldier of capitalism out there on the highways. So 1783 01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:01,479 Speaker 1: thank you for what you do, and stay safe on 1784 01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:04,840 Speaker 1: the road. As to the movie, yes, it was called 1785 01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:08,320 Speaker 1: Primal Rage. And now let me say that it is 1786 01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:14,160 Speaker 1: very graphic. Okay, so do not repeat, do not try 1787 01:45:14,240 --> 01:45:16,160 Speaker 1: to watch this one with the kids, or let any 1788 01:45:16,240 --> 01:45:18,880 Speaker 1: kids watch it. There is a scene in the movie 1789 01:45:19,560 --> 01:45:22,679 Speaker 1: that is about as graphic as some of the stuff 1790 01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:25,439 Speaker 1: you see in the hills have eyes. So for those 1791 01:45:25,479 --> 01:45:29,760 Speaker 1: of you who know what I'm talking about, it was disturbing. 1792 01:45:30,640 --> 01:45:33,880 Speaker 1: That said, if you're an adult, if you're eighteen plus 1793 01:45:33,960 --> 01:45:37,400 Speaker 1: and you want to see it's really a Sasquatch horror movie. 1794 01:45:37,439 --> 01:45:40,559 Speaker 1: It's not a Sasquatch thriller movie because there's a lot 1795 01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:43,559 Speaker 1: of gore and violence, and I will say the acting 1796 01:45:43,640 --> 01:45:47,920 Speaker 1: from the human beings is pretty terrible, but it's well, 1797 01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:51,120 Speaker 1: it's well shot. They film it the right place in 1798 01:45:51,160 --> 01:45:54,560 Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest. The backdrops look cool, and the Sasquatch 1799 01:45:54,640 --> 01:45:57,760 Speaker 1: is really scary. So you know, I think I think 1800 01:45:57,800 --> 01:46:00,640 Speaker 1: it's worth a watch. But just remember I told you 1801 01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:04,360 Speaker 1: it is very violent. I mean, like stomach curdling violent. 1802 01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:10,759 Speaker 1: And it also has at least one scene of violence 1803 01:46:10,800 --> 01:46:13,120 Speaker 1: that I was like, come on, you can't do, you 1804 01:46:13,160 --> 01:46:15,960 Speaker 1: can't do, can't show that. I just think that there's 1805 01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:20,479 Speaker 1: room for a great Sasquatch movie out there that's a 1806 01:46:20,520 --> 01:46:23,080 Speaker 1: little less heavy handed on the gore and a little 1807 01:46:23,080 --> 01:46:26,519 Speaker 1: more into the backstory of the Squatch and and all 1808 01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:29,400 Speaker 1: that stuff. So I enjoyed it, but I was in 1809 01:46:29,439 --> 01:46:31,680 Speaker 1: the mood to watch I just, you know, sometimes you 1810 01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:33,360 Speaker 1: just want to watch a certain kind of movie on 1811 01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:37,240 Speaker 1: a certain kind of night. It was a cold, snowy 1812 01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:39,120 Speaker 1: night here in DC, and man, I just wanted to 1813 01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:42,599 Speaker 1: watch some Squatch. So Steven, thanks so much for writing 1814 01:46:42,600 --> 01:46:47,519 Speaker 1: in Michael rides. Please compare contrast AOC's run train comment 1815 01:46:47,560 --> 01:46:51,280 Speaker 1: and Trump's Access Hollywood remark. Okay, Michael, I did not 1816 01:46:52,360 --> 01:46:58,200 Speaker 1: previously get into this run train remarks. It's a very 1817 01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:00,920 Speaker 1: it's a very graphic one for people who know what 1818 01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:06,799 Speaker 1: it is. It is a reference to essentially a group sex. 1819 01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:11,559 Speaker 1: And I don't even know what the specifics are other 1820 01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:15,639 Speaker 1: than I know that it's something like that. And AOC 1821 01:47:16,280 --> 01:47:20,120 Speaker 1: said this, I think that it maybe has multiple meetings. 1822 01:47:20,680 --> 01:47:22,080 Speaker 1: You know, it can be used for he said, for 1823 01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:26,960 Speaker 1: different things. For example, you know what I'm even gonna say, 1824 01:47:26,960 --> 01:47:29,160 Speaker 1: But there's certain things like there's certain foods that I've 1825 01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:32,080 Speaker 1: eaten recently that I have only later found out or 1826 01:47:32,160 --> 01:47:38,439 Speaker 1: also can be a very dirty sexual reference. But it's 1827 01:47:38,479 --> 01:47:40,680 Speaker 1: a real food but people, and some of you will 1828 01:47:40,720 --> 01:47:41,960 Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about here, and some of you 1829 01:47:42,120 --> 01:47:43,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to get into it, you know, I 1830 01:47:43,479 --> 01:47:47,760 Speaker 1: keep the show clean. I'm just saying AOC's run train 1831 01:47:47,880 --> 01:47:52,040 Speaker 1: comment was very, very strange, and I don't really know 1832 01:47:52,360 --> 01:47:55,000 Speaker 1: what she was going for there. But I'm also not 1833 01:47:55,280 --> 01:48:00,920 Speaker 1: that well versed in the millennial urban vernacular of the day. 1834 01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:03,519 Speaker 1: That maybe the nerdiest thing I've ever said on radio. 1835 01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:06,120 Speaker 1: But it's true. I'm not in the nineties. Man. I 1836 01:48:06,280 --> 01:48:08,599 Speaker 1: could tell you I got all the nineties. I had 1837 01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:10,400 Speaker 1: all the nineties slang, which, by the way, it was 1838 01:48:10,400 --> 01:48:13,120 Speaker 1: not limited to any one community. It was really the 1839 01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:17,519 Speaker 1: pop culture youth. We're all saying, you know, that's you 1840 01:48:17,520 --> 01:48:20,040 Speaker 1: know yo, that's dope, that's ill, that's fat, that's all 1841 01:48:20,040 --> 01:48:23,120 Speaker 1: all these different things that now if I said them 1842 01:48:23,120 --> 01:48:26,160 Speaker 1: out loud, some of you would start chuckling at me. 1843 01:48:26,560 --> 01:48:28,439 Speaker 1: But this is the way that people talked when I 1844 01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:31,559 Speaker 1: was growing up. You know that that guy's such a player. 1845 01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:35,400 Speaker 1: Oh that's so, that's so dope. Oh that's ill, that's 1846 01:48:35,720 --> 01:48:38,479 Speaker 1: that's the ill, na, na, that's you know, what's up? 1847 01:48:38,520 --> 01:48:41,120 Speaker 1: Home slice? People say at home slice. I've said it 1848 01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:43,439 Speaker 1: a couple of times on the show that no one 1849 01:48:43,439 --> 01:48:46,280 Speaker 1: says it anymore. What's up Homie? People who say what's 1850 01:48:46,360 --> 01:48:48,479 Speaker 1: up Homie all the time? You know the languages, so 1851 01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:51,439 Speaker 1: I don't know how the kids talk. Now. I'm getting 1852 01:48:51,439 --> 01:48:53,519 Speaker 1: too I'm getting I'm getting close to forty, I'm getting 1853 01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:57,200 Speaker 1: to school. I'm getting too old for that stuff. Let's 1854 01:48:57,240 --> 01:49:01,760 Speaker 1: see here, Rita rights oh Man, Steve King is my 1855 01:49:01,880 --> 01:49:04,439 Speaker 1: rep Why talk to the New York Times at all? 1856 01:49:04,479 --> 01:49:07,160 Speaker 1: And why try to have a theoretical discussion with the enemy. 1857 01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:10,160 Speaker 1: Don't talk about anything to the New York Times. No 1858 01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:12,599 Speaker 1: one makes any effort to understand what Steve meant? Why 1859 01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:16,000 Speaker 1: is Western civilization now evil? Not? How to understand if 1860 01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:18,439 Speaker 1: you aren't determined to find wrongdoing. He's taken his lungs, 1861 01:49:18,439 --> 01:49:20,760 Speaker 1: but his career may be ruined, but he is not 1862 01:49:20,800 --> 01:49:24,840 Speaker 1: a racist. She'll tie from Rita. Well, Rita, they certainly 1863 01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:29,280 Speaker 1: he said some things that I think we're unwise, and 1864 01:49:30,040 --> 01:49:34,800 Speaker 1: perhaps you could honestly describe as as racist. Honestly, he's 1865 01:49:34,840 --> 01:49:37,519 Speaker 1: also said some things, though, that have been called racist, 1866 01:49:37,600 --> 01:49:40,600 Speaker 1: that I think are not fairly called racist. So we 1867 01:49:40,640 --> 01:49:43,559 Speaker 1: have to talk about the specific comments. But I do 1868 01:49:43,640 --> 01:49:45,479 Speaker 1: think you're onto something. When you say why, try to 1869 01:49:45,520 --> 01:49:47,640 Speaker 1: have a theoretical discussion with the other side, meaning the 1870 01:49:47,640 --> 01:49:50,240 Speaker 1: New York Times on this, because they are just looking 1871 01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:54,000 Speaker 1: to jam him up.
