A lot of people are off today, a 9 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: lot of people in the media business are taking their vacation. 10 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: You will notice that here I am in the Freedom 11 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: Und with producer Brandon. We are holding down the fort. 12 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: We are on the front lines of freedom right now, 13 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: not just running off to eat our turkeys and our 14 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: mashed potatoes and obviously stuffing. I also have to say 15 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: that I think stuffing should become something that you don't 16 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: just eat on Thanksgiving. Now, people might say to me, Buck, 17 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: how would you know there's gluten free stuffing? And it 18 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: is amazing, because all stuffing is fantastic. It's just an 19 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: excuse to eat little cubes of seasoned bread and then 20 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: whatever other food you want, you drip into that and 21 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: you turn into this like mush that absorbs all the 22 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: other the turkey, grayvy, the cranberry, the cranberry sauce, you 23 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: know whatever other you know, this is the for someone 24 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: who has had just a box of crutons to eat stuffing, 25 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: respect it exactly. I mean, all you need to do 26 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: is take a box of crutons, add some water, kind 27 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: of mush it up, put it in the microwave. That yeah, 28 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: instant stuffing boom. Minds blown everybody at home. No, we 29 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: are going to talk some news today. Obviously, I'm not 30 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: just gonna bring you here to hang out and talk 31 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: about Thanksgiving things. Although I do have this vision in 32 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: my head that as all of you listened to this show, 33 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: you are well, some of you will be on the 34 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: road or in the well in the air if you've 35 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: downloaded the show on podcast, you could listen. Because everyone 36 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: travels quite not everybody, but a lot of people travel 37 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: quite a distance, travel quite a bit in order to 38 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: get to see loved ones over this holiday. And so 39 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm hoping that I'm keeping you company 40 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: for either your Thanksgiving travel or your pre Thanksgiving feast preparations. 41 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: Because my understanding is I mean that turkey can take 42 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: a really long time, especially if you have to thought so, 43 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: I guess you're not sitting there watching the turkey thaw. 44 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: That wouldn't be the most exciting thing ever. But there 45 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: are certainly things that one can do to get ahead 46 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: of the game. My family, we always have quite a 47 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: spread of treats and suits and things before the main meal, 48 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: and you pretty much have had a meal before you 49 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: sit down for the big game. This year, I might 50 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: try to I might try to leave alextra. So anyway, well, 51 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: we'll get more into Thanksgiving. How people are triggered by Thanksgiving. Now, 52 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 1: it's a colonial holiday. Nothing can be fun, nothing can 53 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: be something that brings all the American people. It's not 54 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: a religious holiday. You can imbue it with your own 55 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: religious significance if you want. But even still, the truth 56 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: here is that it's something that we can't even look 57 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: at as a universe, a universal outside the jurisdiction of 58 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: wokeness and political correctness. Holiday. I don't want to spend 59 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: too much time on that though. Hunter Biden back in 60 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: the news today, Oh man, you can tell I've got 61 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of a little bit of the pre 62 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: holiday time to roll. Let's get out there and party 63 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: vibe going here. But I'm gonna I'm gonna do the show. 64 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: It's gonna be strong show today. It's gonna be a 65 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: strong show. It's not by the way, this is some 66 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: people do their Thanksgiving Wednesday show like a week in 67 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: advance or something. No, none of that, None of that 68 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: week saws here, none of that week thing in gravy 69 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: in the Freedom Hut. We're doing a real show. Producer, 70 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: Brandon's here. Does he want to be here now? He 71 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: wants to be sitting eating a giant turkey drumstick, hanging out, 72 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: probably watching football, But instead we're doing a show. Hunter 73 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: Biden back in the news. Let's get into that for 74 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: a moment, shall we. He's back in the news because 75 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: there is a report from the New York Post that 76 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,239 Speaker 1: says that Hunter Biden is believed this is what. It says, 77 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden suspected of smoking crack in DC strip club 78 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: vip room. And to this, I say, this is just 79 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: an allegation. There's no proof of this yet, and perhaps 80 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden just needed to find a quiet place to 81 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: read up on strategies to improve the efficiencies of the 82 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: Ukrainian natural gas market. Because we know he's quite an 83 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: expert in that. But this is the fellow that the 84 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: media will immediate will immediately jump down your throat, They 85 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: will yell at you, they will be quite upset at 86 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: you if you say anything about how it seemed quite 87 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: corrupt for this fellow to be on the board when 88 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: his father was. It seems like something you wouldn't allow 89 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: to happen if you were really concerned with good governance 90 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: and avoiding the appearance of corruption. In fact, there is 91 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: a piece today I read about what ethics rules usually 92 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: are for a White House, and it's supposed to be 93 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: that the mere perception the appearance of corruption is enough 94 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: for someone to recuse themselves from an area, which raises 95 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: the question, why wouldn't Joe Biden step away from the 96 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: Ukraine portfolio if his son was in fact going to 97 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: be on the board of this company. Why not? What 98 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: is there to lose? We have so many experts on Ukraine, 99 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: as you've seen, We've had all these people come forward 100 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: who you know. I've been working on Ukraine for the 101 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: National Security Council for the last fifteen years. I'm the 102 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: world's greatest expert on Ukraine. All these different figures all 103 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: these folks coming forward to tell us what needs to 104 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: happen with Russia and Ukraine, and yet here we are 105 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: now being told that it was obvious that there was 106 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: an appearance of corruption between Hunter Biden and his father 107 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: on the situation with Barisma. And also this guy is 108 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: quite a disaster, really, I mean, Hunter Biden has had 109 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: a track record that's stunning. The fact that he has 110 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: worked with some of the law firms and different organizations 111 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: that he has given the reality of his past is 112 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: just further testament to in fact, how corrupt he really is, 113 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: how much this was a perception at least of a 114 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: pay for play scheme. And can't that be enough If 115 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: I am going to be a Ukrainian oligarch, if I'm 116 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: going to wargain this out from their perspective, if I'm 117 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: the head of Barisma, I don't need to necessarily write 118 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: out some contract for Hunter Biden that says you will 119 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: speak to your father and do something illegal here in 120 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: order to help us. I just want you on the 121 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: board so that people know that you're protected. You know, 122 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: within the ranks of the mafia. If there's a made 123 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: guy who is with you, it doesn't really matter if 124 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: the made guy is telling everybody you can't touch this 125 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: other individual or not because he's rolling with a made 126 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: guy for our purposes. In this analogy, Hunter Biden was 127 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: like a maide mafioso. You couldn't you can't touch him. 128 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: This is also in the movie That Departed with Jack Nicholson. 129 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: He goes, it's actually Jack Nicholson's right hand man whose 130 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: name I forget from the movie, who says there are 131 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: guys you can't touch, and you know, Leonardo DiCaprio gets 132 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: a lesson and who he can't and can't hit. Essentially, 133 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden on the board of Barisma was this is 134 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: a company that it's going to be harder to hit 135 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: at least, and that's why he was there. He also 136 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: was in a place, an establishment that I lived very 137 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: near in DC called Archibalds, which that that is the 138 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: allegation in the New York Post. I cannot say whether 139 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: or not this is archibald Is. It's considered a gentleman's club. 140 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: I do not think there are a whole lot of 141 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: gentlemen who frequent this establishment. It was a point of 142 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: jest for many of us in DC to say, who 143 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: goes it's right on K Street, right near some of 144 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: the big fancy law firms, is right in the midst 145 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: of all the swampiness. You have this, uh, I believe 146 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: the gentleman's club, cabarets and it's a strip club, right, So, 147 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, we use these different terms, but it's 148 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: a strip club I have. I don't even know anybody 149 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: in DC who's been in this place. It is it 150 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: has something of a place of ill, of some ill repute. 151 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: I think you could say Hunter Biden might have been 152 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: and it's not just a hundred bids in there. He 153 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: might have been there, according to the York Post smoking crack, 154 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: which is pretty stunning. And this guy's father is supposed 155 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,599 Speaker 1: to now be according to Democrats, than the presidents of 156 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: the United States coming up in twenty twenty. This is 157 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: what this is what I keep coming back to. You 158 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: have Democrats who complain and cry about how Trump is 159 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: ruining the prestige or the presidency and that he is 160 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: so not presidential in his approach and that we need 161 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: people who are just more serious in the role. And 162 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: then they offer up Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Bernie Sander, 163 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: They offer up these figures that I look at them 164 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: and I said, this is I mean, the Democratic Party 165 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: is not sending us their best? Are they Is this 166 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: really their best? I think they would have to answer yes, 167 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: they have no other alternative right now. People are very 168 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: concerned in Democrat ranks. I'm starting to see this percolating 169 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: through the media. You'll also hear people behind closed doors 170 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: and in back channel talking about this that if Bernie 171 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: or perhaps even Warren were to get the nomination, certainly Bernie, 172 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: it has been said that Barack Obama might speak out 173 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: against or I should say, before he could get the nomination. 174 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: If it looks like he would, Barack Obama may speak 175 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: out against Bernie Sanders. That would cause quite a fracture 176 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party, and I'm not sure how they 177 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: would really be able to handle that unless there was 178 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: some plan to put a long shot or not I 179 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: shouldn't say long shot, a as yet undeclared candidate in 180 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: the mix. And this is where we get into our 181 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: is it Hillary's at Michelle Obama? People have thrown around 182 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: the name Oprah here as well. Look, I how could 183 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: anyone say that Oprah wouldn't be a serious candidate when 184 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: you see the candidacy that Donald Trump was able to 185 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: run as somebody who really understands media. Donald Trump is 186 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: a free media genius. This is how he was able 187 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: to beat Hillary Clinton. He understands how to create a story, 188 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: how to create drauma and tension through the press. And 189 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: they always think that because they're able to put their 190 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: spin on things, that they're doing more damage to Trump 191 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: than benefit that he's getting out of it. The reality 192 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: is that they're often showing everybody who they are and 193 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: putting shining the light on Trump or some issue that 194 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: he wants to talk about. So Hunter Biden and the 195 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: corruption situation is going to continue to be a problem 196 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: for Democrats. I'll never forget Anderson Cooper. The only really 197 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: memorable moment of whatever Democrat debate that was where he said, 198 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: there's no evidence or without evidence to Joe Biden that 199 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: you did anything wrong in Ukraine. Well, no, there's there's 200 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: no allegation of criminal conduct, but there's already proof of 201 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: doing something wrong. What they did was gross, it was unethical, 202 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: just like they can make the claim that what President 203 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: Trump did on that phone call with the Ukrainian president, 204 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: President Lensky, that that was unethical. They can make that argument. 205 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: I disagree with it, but it's not illegal. And the 206 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: pretense that it is illegal the make believe story. The 207 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: Democrats tell themselves that if they just get upset enough 208 00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: about this and talk enough about this, they will managed 209 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: to convince people that this is that it was illegal. 210 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: Just goes to show you that they're willing to twist 211 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: the law in ways that it is unrecognizable in order 212 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: to go after a the primary political opponent right now, 213 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: who is who is Donald Trump? So we should look 214 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 1: at this, by the way, Josh I think it is. 215 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: Josh Hammer wrote a great piece in The New York 216 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: Post where he's saying, we have to stop focusing in 217 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: a lot of New York Post shout outs today. I 218 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: don't know what. I don't know what's all about. You know, 219 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: the Post is a it's a good paper. You know, 220 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: it's a got a good editorial page, headline, the best 221 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: headlines in the business. I'll give them that. But the 222 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: Post today has this piece by Josh Hammer where he's 223 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: talking about how by fighting on the issue of the 224 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: quid pro quo, where not really understanding what is at 225 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: stake here and what the issues really are because quid 226 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: pro quos do happen all the time. Mick mulvaney was right, 227 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: even though he got, you know, just hammered for this. 228 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: Mick mulvaney was correct when he said they're quid pro 229 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: quos in foreign policy all the time. And so Hammer 230 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: says in his editorial, and this is a continuate or 231 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 1: a version, I should say of what I've been telling 232 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: you that because politicians have First Amendment rights to say 233 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: different things about what they're going to do in policy, 234 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 1: because they have the right to speak and share their ideas. 235 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: To criminalize someone saying do this or and I will 236 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: do this as a politician in the way the Democrats 237 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: are trying to do would open itself to all kinds 238 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: of mischief. Then the issue of the quid pro quo 239 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: just becomes do democrats like this quid pro quo or 240 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: not is in an abuse of power or not based 241 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: upon their perception of whether there is some benefit for 242 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: the president. You know, bribery is a very specific thing. 243 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: They have tried to expand the definition of bribery to 244 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: include this will Look, you're a politician who does things 245 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: in the political realm. If this thing that you want 246 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 1: done gets done, it would be good for you politically. 247 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: Therefore you're guilty of bribery. As I've been saying along, 248 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: this is absurd. That means that any political act could 249 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,839 Speaker 1: conceivably be construed a construed as bribery, which just goes 250 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: to show you that if everything is bribery, nothing is bribery. 251 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: So I think that that's that's it's gone into the 252 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: level of silliness. It's absurd. But they're going to continue 253 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: on with this. There's no doubt in my mind that 254 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: Democrats are going to impeach this president, No no doubt whatsoever, 255 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: because there's no feasible way for them to back away 256 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: at this point. They have to. They have to do 257 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: this in their in their own minds. That's what's going 258 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: to happen. M And with that, my friends, I want 259 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: to turn to a fellow from the d n C 260 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: vice chair I believe of the DNC appeared yesterday on 261 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: Fox News Hold one second, and I was saying he 262 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: had a member of the d n C senior staff. 263 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: I believe he's the vice president, vice chair something of 264 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: the DNC. Um I've I've had him on my show 265 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: before at the Hill. I found him to be uh 266 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: snyde and rude, and he was quite snyde and rude 267 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: when he appeared on. Michael Blake is a DNC vice chair. 268 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: That's that's right. This is what he shows up on 269 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: Fox News to talk about Democratic candidates, and this is 270 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: what he does play clips. Well, she's not running. But 271 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: the core question is why I held to suck a 272 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: car is still have a job here in the first place. 273 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: The reality is this is someone who said white supremacy 274 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: is a hoax, and why does Fox allow him to 275 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: still be here in the first place? Right? Well, I 276 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: mean his opinion there is that Michelle Obama may get 277 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: in this race. Do you think that will happen or 278 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: is not gonna happen? Not going to happen. But I 279 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: think the core question is he shouldn't be on here 280 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, we didn't bring you on to talk 281 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: about Tucker Carlson. I brought you on to talk about 282 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: the Democratic field. This is somebody who's representing the Democratic 283 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: National Committee. This is who's supposed to show us that 284 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: we would be at a better we'd be heading to 285 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: a better politics if we only had a Democrat president 286 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: and a Democrat House and Senate. I mean that's what 287 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: the NC wants. And he acted like a complete jerk 288 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: on Bill Bill Hemmer's show. And Hammer, by the way, 289 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: is a very fair minded guy, very decent guy, does 290 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: a good show, does give people on both sides a 291 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: fair shake to speak in a Democrat and Republican. He's 292 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: he's he tries to play it as straight as a 293 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: as a as a journalist or a TV journalists as 294 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: he can, I think. And this guy, Michael Blake was 295 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: acting like a total total jerk. I mean, just no manners, 296 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: no deasons. He was ever going on to trash his 297 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: colleague who's not there. That's just it's a it's a 298 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: cowardly move. He is not there to talk. He wasn't 299 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: asked to talk about Tucker Cross, and he's asked to 300 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: come talk about whether Michelle Obama is going to possibly 301 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: get into the race, and he just uses an opportunity. 302 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: So I just point at this to show you this 303 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: is somebody who's very senior in the d NC apparatus, 304 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: and this is just showing you what the reality is 305 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: of the Democrats, that they they're not going to be 306 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: nice if Trump loses, They're not going to be kinder 307 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 1: and better politicians than Trump has. But this is all 308 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: of this is all a myth, a mirage doesn't exist. 309 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 1: Democrats have embraced a hysteria and a viciousness and a 310 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: person in politics of personal destruction that Trump is in 311 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: antidote two in many ways that he is an answer to. 312 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: He is there as a means of pushing back and 313 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: fighting back against the political machinery of the left that 314 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: just seeks to crush and destroy and control. Trump is 315 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: the guy you want by your side in a bar fight, 316 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: and in twenty twenty, this election is going to be 317 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: a political bar fight unlike anything you've ever seen before. 318 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: I just remember the other side anytime they talk about 319 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: civility or Trump's tone, they're the worst when it comes 320 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: to that stuff, the absolute worst. And Trump just gives 321 00:17:51,520 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: them some of their own medicine. That was First Lady 322 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: Melanie A Trump who is certainly arguably the most iconic 323 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: from a fashion and style perspective, the most beautiful for 324 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: those who care about the way the fashion magazines like 325 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: to portray first ladies and how how they're supposed to 326 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: be a representation of America and all this stuff. I mean, 327 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: First Lady Melanie at Trump is obviously stunning and highly fashionable, 328 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 1: and all she does is talk about the issues that 329 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: are that are really non politically, you know, be nice 330 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: to people. She's trying to say Happy Thanksgiving here, and 331 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: she's getting people are booing her. You know, I was 332 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: just talking to you a second ago about how you 333 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: can't buy into the lie a lie the left is 334 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: going to want to tell you, or is telling you 335 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: every day that they're nicer that Trump, that the Republican 336 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: Party is now a party of meanness because of Trump. No. 337 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: Trump is in many ways a response to the viciousness 338 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: of the left and the lack of any sense that 339 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: there can be something that is non political. There are 340 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: some areas where we can come together as Americans and 341 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: be decent to each other and oh, I don't know, 342 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 1: come together and give thanks as a country and not 343 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: have it be a political food fight and not have 344 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: all the nonsense social justice warrior criticisms of Thanksgiving as 345 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: a holiday. But now the left has decided that they 346 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: want a state of constant political warfare in every place, 347 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: on every issue, and there can be no respite from it. 348 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: Sports is not a respite from it. National holidays is 349 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: not a respite from it. It has to continue on always. 350 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 1: You know that there are people booing Melanni a Trump. 351 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,239 Speaker 1: I mean I would tell you this if people at 352 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving event like this, where Milanni at, where the 353 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: First ladies just there to try to, you know, be 354 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: a nice representation of the First Family at a given 355 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: point in time, if people had booed Michelle Obama, I 356 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: would have thought that they were jerks too. Let's let's 357 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: keep this consistent. If if you be any first lady 358 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: who showing up saying happy thanks gaining everybody you know, 359 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: show a little class, you know, but the left has 360 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: no class. This is why the left they're always showing 361 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: up and interrupting events and shouting people down and protesting 362 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: and cancel culture and get this person fired and get 363 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: them thrown off the internet platforms, make them lose their job. 364 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: This isn't an anomaly for them. Now. This is who 365 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: the left has become. They embrace all of that. They don't. 366 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: They don't in any way repudiate it when there are 367 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: these movements to humiliate and destroy their political opponents, which 368 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: look it always brings me back to I mean Cavanall 369 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: was a political mind eleven moment for many of us 370 00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: Note eleven, in the sense that it was a change, 371 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: a dramatic change in perception of the reality that we 372 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: are living, and that was a national security and US 373 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: safety in the face of a terrorist threat change in perception. 374 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: But for our politics in America now, Kavanaugh was a 375 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,719 Speaker 1: turning point. Certainly a turning point for me. And I've 376 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 1: talked to many friends about this. If they could do 377 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: that to him, if they could destroy or try to 378 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: destroy that man in that way, with so much dishonesty 379 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: and viciousness and just lack of basic human sympathy for 380 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: a father or a husband, a good man. They do 381 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: to anybody for any reason. By the way, it doesn't 382 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: matter if you're a public figure. They will make you 383 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: a public figure if it becomes a benefit to the 384 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: left to make an example of you. You think you're 385 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: just walking to your car with the groceries, but all 386 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: of a sudden, some incident happens, and they've got a 387 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: video camera out there, and now you're public enemy number one. 388 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: They want to destroy you. No sense of good faith, 389 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: no willingness to show any grace or mercy. So I 390 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: just want to be very clear about that. You know, 391 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: as we're going into this holiday, we'll have a couple 392 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: of days here where there's not as much of a 393 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: focus on politics. Do not do not believe the people 394 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,479 Speaker 1: who will tell you this is something that I come 395 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: up with too, that basically Trump is such a bad man. 396 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: This is what you always hear. I've heard this from 397 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: some associates and friends of mine recently. They'll say to me, 398 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: this was said to me recently. You're too nice and 399 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: decent a person to support Donald Trump. This is a 400 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: an attack on not an attack on. Maybe this is 401 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: a way that people will try to criticize my support 402 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: of the president. They say, look at how you conduct 403 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: yourself and how you speak to people versus the way 404 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: he does. And I turn around them, I say, but 405 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: I don't. Donald Trump is not America's you know, kindergarten teacher. 406 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is not there to We're gonna say, he's 407 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:56,239 Speaker 1: there to provide a personal exemplar of conduct, not just 408 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: in office, but before he even entered office. That's that 409 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: would be a new standard. Really, you know, George W. 410 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: Bush was not an exemplar of fantastic conduct in his 411 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 1: life that we all should look up to before. I mean, 412 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: look at you know, we can all be honest here, right, 413 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: we're all adults. I mean Bush had some problems and 414 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: use a trust fund, baby, Okay, so yeah, and you 415 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: know Trump had hired a lot of money too. If 416 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about this, and don't even get 417 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: me started on Bill Clinton, Well, this is not the 418 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: standard that I hold politicians too, and I don't think 419 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: we should. I think it's actually strange. On the one hand, 420 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: you have people who will tell you that the problem 421 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: of Trump is a problem of a cult, it's a 422 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: form of destructive hero worship, and that he is being 423 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: elevated as though he's a monarch, as though he's a dictator. 424 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: Robert Redford, by the way, Robert Redford is he wrote 425 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: an editorial one of these, like now Trump has gone 426 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: too far. I was like, first of all, as a 427 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: Robert Redford is he still is he still doing things? 428 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: What's his situation? Like? I don't even know he was 429 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: still out there. But I got to love when these actors, 430 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: these Hollywood types, whether it's Tadira or Redford, they're like, 431 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: all right, that's it. This changes everything. Robert Redford is, 432 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: We're gonna editorial about how Trump is Like a dictator. 433 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 1: But I have to tell you, on the one I 434 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: think there's a disconnect. There's a disparity here because the 435 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 1: argument against Trump is so often from the left. They'll 436 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 1: say that there's a cult of personality. Look, every national 437 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,239 Speaker 1: politician in this country there's some a little bit of 438 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: a cult of personality around them. It doesn't mean that 439 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: that's something we should aspire to, but it has to 440 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: be there, just the same way that if you're gonna 441 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: run for president, you have to be a narcissist. I mean, 442 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: you have to really believe that you are special. Maybe 443 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: you believe that you're chosen by chosen by God. I 444 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: also think that there are people more likely to be 445 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 1: Democrats and Republicans, But I do think that there are 446 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 1: people who would say that just as as a cynical 447 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: form of self promotion as politicians were all. Of course, 448 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: I think I'm It's not that I want to run, 449 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: it's that I am, or you know, God has chosen 450 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: me to run. Some people believe it, some people don't. 451 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: I can't. I can't see in their hearts. I don't 452 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: know which politicians mean that and which ones are being disingenuous. 453 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: But they say that we are engaged in hero worship 454 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: of Trump. But then they also will tell us that 455 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: we are supposed to look to the president to be 456 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: the example for our children, and you know that, Oh 457 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: look at his language, or look what he did here, 458 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: what he said there. I view him as a person 459 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: who is doing a job, and that's where I'd want 460 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: to say today transition for a moment into how we 461 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: should be thankful for the job. But he's doing it 462 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: is going so much better than we were told. I mean, 463 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: if we're going to be thankful for first and foremost, 464 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: be thankful for your health, your family, and the fact 465 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: that those of you who are and most of the 466 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 1: most of Team Buck is here in America, not all. 467 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: We've got Canada military bases around the world. They're obviously American, 468 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: but they're not in the fifty States right now. The 469 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 1: ones who are international basis. And there's some other folks 470 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: who listen in Israel I now, so we have some 471 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: people all the world. But if you're listening to this 472 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: and you are an American, you are incredibly lucky just 473 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: by virtue of that fact. You're lucky because you are 474 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: a part of a political community that is the most 475 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: powerful most influential, most free, and most prosperous in the 476 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: history of the world. If you start to break down 477 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: the numbers on that, and what are the chances that 478 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: you would be born an American at this point in 479 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: time instead of you know, born in ancient Sumeria and 480 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: like lucky to hit your third birthday. I mean, if 481 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: you look at the chances of being born at a 482 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: time when people are starting to think about how soon 483 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: we're going to hit you know, triple digit life expectancy 484 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: as the norm, and the amount of time that we 485 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: have to pursue the life of the mind. And I 486 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: know we don't do it as much as we should. 487 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: And I really am thinking about cutting my cable chord, 488 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: but I think I'm going to do it. Yeah, the 489 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: only reason I have it is so I can see news. 490 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: I can see cable news coming in sometimes, but that's 491 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: not I don't think that's enough for me anymore. I 492 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: get everything I need digitally, and I think it'd be 493 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: better to just read more books and read more articles 494 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: and just kind of bag it and watch Netflix and 495 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: those things that I want. But anyway, but you have 496 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: it back to being thankful and not my cable news 497 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 1: proclivity or lack thereof. Here's what I would say, we 498 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: should all take a moment to be thankful for the 499 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: most important things, your loved ones, your health, and the 500 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: fact that you are alive at this time. It is. 501 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,719 Speaker 1: It is an amazing and glorious thing to be alive 502 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: at this point in human history. I would also say, 503 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,719 Speaker 1: and had I had a feeling this morning that I 504 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: wasn't sure I was going to share you or not. 505 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: But I do think that things are particularly strong right now, 506 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: Things are going very well. I get a little little 507 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,719 Speaker 1: twig hinge of ominousus that there's something ominous over the 508 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: horizon in twenty twenty. I don't I couldn't tell you 509 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: what it is. I don't, you know. I always say 510 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: nobody can predict the future, and don't trust anybody who 511 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: says they can. But we're we're going to head into 512 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: some This is where all the cliche analogies come up, 513 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 1: you know, the stormy waters work or something, because right 514 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: now things just feel a little bit too stable, positive strong, 515 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: and there is always there are ups and downs. My friends, 516 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: you look at what was said to be the future 517 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: of a Trump presidency. What they were telling us would happen. 518 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: You look at that and then you see what's actually happening. 519 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: And first of all, they obviously can you know, the 520 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: Tom Friedman's and the Paul Krugman's and Here Times editorial board, 521 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: Washington Post editorial board or MSNBC analysts and anchors and CNN, 522 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: and they were all so wrong that nobody should ever 523 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: feel obligated to listen to them ever again, at about anything. 524 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: But people will because everyone likes to have their their 525 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: own political biases reflected back to them via the articles 526 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: they read, the news stories that pop up on their screen, 527 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: the cable shows that they watch at night. The smart 528 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: people watch or listen to the Buck Sex and Show 529 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: because it keeps them safe in warm at night, or 530 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: they check out my man Jesse Kelly as well, who's 531 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: also on Pluto TV channel to forty eight, the first 532 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: given a little shout out heading into Thanksgiving. The reality 533 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: is that America is in an incredibly prosperous moment. We 534 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: do not have a major war. I know, we have military, 535 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: we still have some military and commeat operations going on. 536 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: There's some sweeping up remnants of ices happening in Syria. 537 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: There's still stabilization efforts in Afghanistan, which I think, unfortunately 538 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: in the long term, are doomed to failure. But we 539 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: don't have we don't have a war going on right 540 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: now where we're losing hundreds of people a day casualties 541 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: in a war that was that has been reality cyclically 542 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: throughout our our history. It's just a period of time 543 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: that we tend to have this degree of peace. So 544 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: as you go home and you are about to carve 545 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: up the turkey and dole out the sweet potatoes with 546 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: I like it. My mom. My mom does an amazing 547 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: missus Sexton, meaning my mom, I don't there's not a 548 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: missus Sexton for me yet. We're working on We're working 549 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: on it. We're working on it. M MoMA does an 550 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: amazing classic Thanksgiving feast, but she does. She does the 551 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: marshmallows with the sweet potato, the browned marshmallow on top 552 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: of the sweet potato, which I gotta say it is decadent, 553 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: but it is quite It is quite delicious. I would 554 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: also tell you that marshmallows I think are generally an 555 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: overrated food. That's right, it's not that good, you know, 556 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: You're ever like, oh, I just want to eat up 557 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of marshmallows, I don't think. So you 558 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: got to burn them and put chocolate on. You burn 559 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: anything and put chocolate on, it's gonna taste okay. So 560 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: it's carbon and chocolate. Back to the Thanksgiving the part 561 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: about being thankful right now. I look, I don't sit 562 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: around and make crazy predictions and then hope one of 563 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: them comes true. As I can tell you that I'm 564 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: some kind of prophet or something. Other people do that 565 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: on their radio shows. I don't like to do that here. 566 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,719 Speaker 1: We're going to hit something bad next year. I just 567 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: have a feeling. I can't I don't know what it is. 568 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: But the election is going to be nasty. I'm not 569 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: talking about that. Something's We're going to hit something rough. 570 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: And so I just know I've been around long enough 571 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: to know that you, wherever you are across the country, 572 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: around the world, my fellow Americans, take a moment to 573 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: feel the blessings that we really do have in this country. 574 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: Right now. You have your individual blessings, then you have 575 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: the more general this period in time, this point in 576 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: history blessings. And it's remarkable. I mean, this country, we 577 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: are not in the midst of a huge war. We 578 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: are not in the midst of a recession. You know. 579 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: The biggest problem most of us deal with in terms 580 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: of what the news is reporting on, hows to do 581 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,479 Speaker 1: with whether we're going to argue about politics or not. 582 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: I know, perhaps that's a place to transition. Do not 583 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: believe these articles or do not listen to these experts 584 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: who are there's this whole industry of how to talk 585 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: to your relatives about politics during Thanksgiving without making anybody 586 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: too upset.

It was it. I'm trying 590 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: to think what the group was here. The NNAF Abortion 591 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: Funds Twitter account put this out.

I'm just a 600 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: guy with some thoughts and does some things do not 601 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: bring up highly contentious politically. You already know this, I 602 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: mean everyone already knows is you know, you understand if 603 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: you got a family where that's I mean my family, 604 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: it's always fun because we're all we're all on Team 605 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: America and the Sexton family, so we don't have to 606 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: worry about it. But you know, I mean in other families, 607 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: I know there's a little more sensitivity about this, and 608 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: I've seen what can happen when these conversations go awry. 609 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: So but this is why people have football and they 610 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: have movies and they have things that you can talk 611 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: about where everyone can have an opinion and just share, 612 00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: exchange ideas and not get into a content just exchange 613 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: with the other side of the table about whether Bernie 614 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: Sanders is really good to deliver free healthcare for everybody 615 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: in life is going to be great and everything will 616 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: be fantastic.

If you can 664 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: buy stuff for people, buy them a gift whenever you want. 665 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: You don't have to wait until Christmas time to get gifts. 666 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 1: You sit there on your phone and order anything you 667 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: want to order for anybody. But I know it's very, 668 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: very commercial to the Christmas holiday. As I Thanksgiving is 669 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,839 Speaker 1: also commercial, at least for grocery stores and everything else. 670 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: And I'm all down with most of the traditions and 671 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: the way that we talk about what I actually I 672 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: feel like they've started to push the whole Pilgrim narrative 673 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: and all that out of it. You know, we don't 674 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: hear about this so much anymore. And there's some there 675 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: are some early some of the earliest settlements had some 676 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 1: experiments with socialism and with communal property, believe it or not, 677 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: and it didn't work out well. What a shock when 678 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 1: people had their own plot of land and they were 679 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 1: responsible for that land and also were able to benefit 680 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 1: from having it be better tended. Talking now about the 681 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: earliest colonists, the earliest settlers, people that were showing up 682 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: here wearing those funky shoes with the little little buckles 683 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 1: on them, look like look like lepre cons, you know 684 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: what I mean, those ones? Yeah, you know what I'm 685 00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: talking about. The Puritans Plymouth Rock. They showed up and 686 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 1: they had communal ownership of some of the property, and 687 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: that turned out to not be a good thing. So 688 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: they started to go, wait a second, maybe we should 689 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 1: have ownership of land. I also love the lack of 690 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,720 Speaker 1: an honest assessment of what went on with native peoples 691 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: before the European settlers showed up in this country. We 692 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:26,919 Speaker 1: always hear that there was no sense of ownership of land. Yeah, 693 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: and yet there were tribes, notably like the Comanche among others, 694 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: that were infamous for going to neighboring tribes and wiping 695 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 1: everybody out and taking all their stuff. So I do 696 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: think they did have a sense of property. They just 697 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 1: didn't have a sense of writing, and the rule of 698 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: law was not codified. But they liked to create this 699 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 1: mythology of a perfect a utopia that existed here before 700 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 1: the settlers arrived. As you know, I've talked to you 701 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: about this in the context of Columbus Day, where the 702 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 1: storyline is that everything was great here and then we 703 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: showed up and we re ruined it basically, and now 704 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 1: we need to be saying sorry. There was a piece 705 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 1: in the Guardian today, the UK paper, not that anyone 706 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 1: really cares what the UK has to say about Thanksgiving, 707 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: because we're thankful that we don't have to deal with 708 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 1: their dumbass monarchy. What a ridiculous I'm sorry now, not 709 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: just because of the disgusting Prince Andrew situation, but I 710 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 1: just in general. So, hey, if Monokey the Queen, we 711 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 1: have to all sit around and vow and it's for tradition. 712 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: They get to just be sort of rich and fancy 713 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: for no apparent reason. No, no, we fought. We fought 714 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 1: a little war so we did not have to bow 715 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: and scrape and bend the knee to a bunch of 716 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 1: people that have done nothing to nothing to deserve the 717 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,879 Speaker 1: praise they get from the British bit But anyway, that's 718 00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,320 Speaker 1: I might even try to watch some of this. Everyone 719 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,879 Speaker 1: loves to show the Crown, which I have to say, 720 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: I tried to. I thought it was very boring. Maybe 721 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,879 Speaker 1: I'm alade in this one. I just I couldn't get 722 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: into it. I know, different different strokes for different folks. 723 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,360 Speaker 1: Where was Oh, yes, on the Native peoples and the 724 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,359 Speaker 1: way that Thanksgiving is now Thanksgiving is considered an imperialist 725 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 1: and colonialist holiday in the academy. It hasn't really caught 726 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: on yet because people do like an excuse to eat 727 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: a really big, rich meal and to be with their families, 728 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: and because it's not an explicitly religious holiday, although I 729 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: think it goes all the way back to George Washington 730 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,360 Speaker 1: and you know, people giving thanks and well obviously it 731 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 1: goes back even before. But when it was turned into 732 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 1: a holiday, an official holiday, you needed to have a 733 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 1: country first, right, So it was something that we could 734 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,799 Speaker 1: do a whole Thanksgiving history. Perhaps on another day. I thought, 735 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 1: I don't know how fascinting that would be for all 736 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 1: of you. But the storyline is always that the Native 737 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 1: peoples in this country, not just in this country, but 738 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 1: in North America in general, we're living in a state 739 00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,719 Speaker 1: of harmony, and then we came along and we're the 740 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 1: looiters and the oppressors, and did all these terrible things. Meanwhile, 741 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,240 Speaker 1: if you look at the reality of what was happening 742 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 1: in the New World, particularly in the context of the 743 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: Aztecs and the Maya's Mayans, rather there was a system 744 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:21,360 Speaker 1: of slavery and exploitation that was going on before we 745 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: ever arrived. Because people are people all over the world, 746 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 1: and if you're looking at what was going on in 747 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:34,240 Speaker 1: the fifteenth centuries sixteenth centuries, that people doing bad stuff 748 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: all over the world. There was no place that was 749 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 1: this utopia where people where everyone lived in harmony with 750 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 1: the land. And the one one thing that liberals never 751 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 1: seemed to really understand is that nature is actually quite 752 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:52,280 Speaker 1: unforgiving and destructive. You see this with all the different 753 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: versions that they put out in pop culture of Native 754 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 1: people's living in harm with the land. I mean, you know, 755 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: you look at Dances with Wolves, for example, Oh, everything 756 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 1: was the Native American tribes there were living in this 757 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: world of everything was beautiful and they just lived off 758 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 1: the land that everything's fun. And then you can even see, 759 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: i mean, the plot of Dances with Wolves is completely 760 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 1: taken by the movie what was the movie with the 761 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: Blue the Blue Aliens? The Blue Alien movie. You know, 762 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,920 Speaker 1: I'm talking to the blue alien Avatar. Avatar. Yeah, I'm 763 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: gonna say it one of the worst movies I've ever 764 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 1: seen in my life. And I saw it in the 765 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 1: special three d oh. Look the thing is like the 766 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 1: weird jellyfish in the sky is flying to my face. No, 767 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: it was bad. It was not a good movie. And 768 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,360 Speaker 1: I've been told it's also the same plot from Fern Gully, 769 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: which I never saw. Is that correct? Fern Gully has 770 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 1: the same You should watch that, really, yeah, I mean 771 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: maybe you would fall. It wouldn't work with you because 772 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,400 Speaker 1: I watched it as a kid and it's more like 773 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: a kids movie. But yeah, it's the same plot, the 774 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 1: same basic plot, right, So the bad people show up, 775 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 1: the looiters and all these things. The reality of mother 776 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 1: nature is that, especially for societies that were pre industrial 777 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 1: and didn't have even basic agricultural implements or or systems 778 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,960 Speaker 1: of animal husbandry, I believe is the correct term. I'm 779 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,240 Speaker 1: amazing how many Americans don't even know that the Native 780 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 1: Americans in this country did not They did. They did 781 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 1: not have a culture of of horseback riding until the 782 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 1: European Spanish colonists showed up. That was where they got horses. 783 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 1: There was not we think of, you know, the Plains, 784 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 1: Indian pot of the Plains, Native Americans planes Native Americans 785 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 1: as the appropriate terminology, but tries tribes like the Sioux 786 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 1: and the uh I mentioned Comanche before Apache, that they're 787 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: riding horses. That was actually something that came as part 788 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 1: of the Yes, the colonial the colonial conquest of America. 789 00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,320 Speaker 1: What I just think this is a fascinating part of 790 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,280 Speaker 1: that that just gets left up people like, oh, yeah, 791 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,439 Speaker 1: they had horsed because of us. But what I'm trying 792 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 1: to say about mother nature and the way it can 793 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: be quite brutal, is that for those societies, I mean 794 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 1: they're famine was a regular occurrence. People would run out 795 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,800 Speaker 1: of food, people would freeze to death, people would would 796 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:20,839 Speaker 1: die because of exposure to the elements. And so there's 797 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 1: always this story, this make believe world that liberals conjure 798 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 1: up of pre European, pre industrial societies, we're living in 799 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,879 Speaker 1: harmony with Mother nature, when the reality is that they 800 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,920 Speaker 1: were living at the whim of Mother Nature most of 801 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:45,240 Speaker 1: the time, and life was to borrow from hobbes often nasty, brutish, 802 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,239 Speaker 1: and short. So if we're just going to have these 803 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 1: conversations about whether Thanksgiving as a colonial hoiday. I think 804 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 1: we should be honest about what life was like here beforehand, 805 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,320 Speaker 1: what ways did it get better or was it not. Obviously, 806 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 1: there was a lot of very terrible things that were 807 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,799 Speaker 1: done to the Native peoples by the colonial settlers. Some 808 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,759 Speaker 1: of the native peoples did some terrible things to the 809 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,320 Speaker 1: settlers as well. We know about that. It was mostly 810 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,720 Speaker 1: a function of disease that wiped out the Native American 811 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 1: population this country. I think about ninety the real estimates 812 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 1: are over ninety seven percent of casualties after the conquest 813 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,359 Speaker 1: of North well of the Americas, I should say, came 814 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 1: from disease, primarily smallpox and influenza. So we always are 815 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,640 Speaker 1: told about the genocide that occurred, and that we have 816 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:36,360 Speaker 1: to constantly be apologizing for this, and that this is 817 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 1: something that all Americans we should carry some stain of 818 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,720 Speaker 1: shame over the genocide. There were very bad things that happened. 819 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm familiar with the different ways that the Native peoples 820 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 1: were killed and rounded up and put on reservations. But 821 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 1: a vast majority of the extinction of Native peoples that 822 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,800 Speaker 1: occurred in the New World was the result of disease. 823 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 1: It was just it was a highly an unfortunate situation 824 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 1: for people whose immune systems had not been exposed to 825 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,440 Speaker 1: disease the way they had in the Western and primarily 826 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 1: Mediterranean world. So anyway, I just think that if we're 827 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,719 Speaker 1: going to talk about the colonial background of Thanksgiving, we 828 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,279 Speaker 1: should have a more open and honest discussion. But okay, well, 829 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:20,800 Speaker 1: what were the good parts of this? What were the 830 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,440 Speaker 1: bad parts of this? What were the aspects of you know, 831 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 1: we're giving thanks in the new world. Do we have 832 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:31,000 Speaker 1: to focus so much in our contemporary context on how 833 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: things back then weren't There was no wokeness, there was 834 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,720 Speaker 1: no social justice. There was a lot of yes, racism 835 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,879 Speaker 1: and exploitation and bad things happening. Does that mean we're 836 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 1: not allowed to just get together and give thanks today 837 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 1: for all the all the benefits and bounty and wondrous 838 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,080 Speaker 1: stuff in this land. You know, they really do believe 839 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 1: they want to change. Then I'm trying to see what 840 00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 1: the name. I think Trump said that there's an effort 841 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 1: to change the name of Thanksgiving and that everyone has 842 00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,840 Speaker 1: freaked out, and so that that's not true. Here we go, 843 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,399 Speaker 1: universities teach students here's an example of exactly what I'm 844 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 1: talking about, how to decolonize their Thanksgiving. This is in 845 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,759 Speaker 1: the college fix. As college students across the nation head 846 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 1: home for Thanksgiving, they're armed with the knowledge to decolonize 847 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:19,399 Speaker 1: their holiday quote by taking how you can eat your 848 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 1: Turkey and decolonized Thanksgiving two. That's an event that is 849 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:28,880 Speaker 1: happening on college campuses and thanks but no Thanksgiving decolonizing 850 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:34,160 Speaker 1: an American holiday. This is amazing. There's an article here 851 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:39,160 Speaker 1: they talk about Professor Wick in which she encouraged parents 852 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 1: to send letters to their children's schools to advocate for 853 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:47,040 Speaker 1: a more inclusive approach to discussing Thanksgiving, which is an 854 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 1: assistant professor of history at Saint Mary's University. Montana State 855 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:56,960 Speaker 1: University is having an Indigenous dinner on November thirteenth, including 856 00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 1: only locally and tribally sourced foods, with various stations offering 857 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 1: natural Native American dishes. So now we have to give 858 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 1: thanks by eating the foods of the native people's here 859 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,319 Speaker 1: here beforehand, I've just how long before we're told that 860 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:21,400 Speaker 1: that is cultural appropriation? Anybody how long before that that 861 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: itself becomes a problem. This is like what I was 862 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 1: discussing with you yesterday on the issue of pronouns. They 863 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:34,320 Speaker 1: want you to use specific pronouns or to announce your pronouns, 864 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,600 Speaker 1: and also to use specific pronouns, and then whenever one 865 00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,760 Speaker 1: starts announcing their pronouns, if they ever get their way, 866 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,400 Speaker 1: they'll the problem will be that when people announce their pronouns, 867 00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,480 Speaker 1: some people have to use pronouns that are unexpected. So 868 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't solve any actual problem. It doesn't really make 869 00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:50,239 Speaker 1: any of this go away. If you celebrate Thanksgiving by 870 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:55,520 Speaker 1: having I don't know what maze and squash, and I 871 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,239 Speaker 1: don't know what the native dishes would be, and it 872 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,879 Speaker 1: depends on what the country right. But if you were 873 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,759 Speaker 1: to borrow from the native culture, then you would be 874 00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 1: guilty of cultural appropriation. So there's really no way to win. 875 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,040 Speaker 1: These are just people who just want to whine. They 876 00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,120 Speaker 1: just want to complain. They don't want you to just 877 00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 1: be able to hang out with friends and family and 878 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 1: eat way too much, which we're all going to do. Man, 879 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to carve out some time forget about 880 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 1: carving the turkey of the carve out some time to 881 00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: get to the gym. The day after this just so 882 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,840 Speaker 1: I don't feel like a you know, you know, you know, 883 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 1: one of those those bullfrogs where you can't even see 884 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,000 Speaker 1: its legs when it's sort of like, that's what I 885 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,799 Speaker 1: feel like after thinks I look like I feel i'd 886 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:37,880 Speaker 1: look like a bullfrog where you can't see any of 887 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:42,839 Speaker 1: its limbs because it's just kind of so gross. It's 888 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,279 Speaker 1: just kind of spilling out. And that's what I woulda bell, 889 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 1: I would say, they're rubing my belly. I told by. 890 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,360 Speaker 1: You know, my my parents have an amazing white French 891 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,799 Speaker 1: bulldog named Tulula, and my parents don't live far from me, 892 00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,840 Speaker 1: so I'm able to go visit on a regular basis 893 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:00,880 Speaker 1: here in New York City. And the French bull she's 894 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,279 Speaker 1: a she's beautiful dog, great dog. French bulldogs. You know, 895 00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,080 Speaker 1: Dana Lash I believe as a French hasn't. I think 896 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,120 Speaker 1: she has a couple of French bulldogs. She's got great 897 00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,560 Speaker 1: tasting dogs. French cheese are so cute. They're great for cities. 898 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,880 Speaker 1: Those of you that have country how not country houses, 899 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 1: but houses in the country. And you know, yes, if 900 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,880 Speaker 1: I had twenty acres or whatever, two weeks an acre, 901 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:20,920 Speaker 1: if I had more than a couple of hundred square 902 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,080 Speaker 1: feet to live in. I'd probably get a lab or 903 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:27,360 Speaker 1: a Golden retriever. Oh maybe, I don't know, maybe a 904 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 1: shepherd and a shepherd be kind of cool. I like 905 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 1: Bernese mountain dogs too, but they're enormous. You feel like 906 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 1: you want to put a saddle on them for the kids. 907 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 1: But don't do that. That's bad. Uh, was I saying, 908 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,399 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, tu lula um. We joked around though, because 909 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,359 Speaker 1: she's all she's all. She's all white. She's an all 910 00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,320 Speaker 1: white dog, and she's gotten a little up there in years, 911 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,879 Speaker 1: and she's gotten a little she's got a little pudgy 912 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,680 Speaker 1: in her old age. And I found a photo and 913 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:49,560 Speaker 1: I showed her my little sister. She looks like one 914 00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:53,759 Speaker 1: of those white fur seals that you'll see try to 915 00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,120 Speaker 1: like they're just like this mound of blubber on the ice, 916 00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,200 Speaker 1: and that's how they try to hide from a polar bears. 917 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,160 Speaker 1: Doesn't always work. The Fredgie looks a little bit like that. 918 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:03,839 Speaker 1: These days, Mom's gonna yell at me for making fun 919 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:05,839 Speaker 1: of the Fredgie for big fat. But you know whatever, 920 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:07,400 Speaker 1: I don't even know she's got. She's busy cookie. I 921 00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 1: don't know if she's gonna see hear or see this 922 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,600 Speaker 1: show so fun things. Give your dog some of the 923 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:17,120 Speaker 1: scraps from the table. Yeah, that's I think there's even 924 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,759 Speaker 1: a there's a parable in the Bible about this, right 925 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,600 Speaker 1: that the gentile. The gentile gets the scraps from the table. 926 00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 1: Give you know, your dogs sitting there seeing that turkey 927 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,279 Speaker 1: leg up on the table, seeing that giant hunk of 928 00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:35,000 Speaker 1: delicious baked meat. By the way, baked ham is for Christmas. 929 00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,839 Speaker 1: Turkey is Thanksgiving, baked ham is Christmas. Let's not get 930 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 1: it twisted. But keep your dog a little bit of 931 00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,200 Speaker 1: a month, you give it a couple munches of it, 932 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:46,640 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. The dog deserves it. Cats, 933 00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:48,480 Speaker 1: I leave up to the attitude. Cats even like people 934 00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:52,880 Speaker 1: food like that. Do people feed cats from the table? Yeah? Anytime, 935 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,640 Speaker 1: because me and my girlfriend of a cat, and every 936 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,840 Speaker 1: like any time with the chicken or even like a 937 00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,200 Speaker 1: little piece of pizza, you can give it. Oh yeah, yeah, 938 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,000 Speaker 1: there's something new every day. I don't even know that's 939 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,080 Speaker 1: been much time around cats. There's only one duel certified, 940 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,239 Speaker 1: veteran owned background investigation and vetting company out there, and 941 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:14,240 Speaker 1: it is global Verification Network.

They 944 00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,479 Speaker 1: don't subcontract out the work. They're not just a front 945 00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:26,200 Speaker 1: for other people and oftentimes foreign countries who are the 946 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,920 Speaker 1: ones doing the actual investigation and assessment. That's why I 947 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,759 Speaker 1: want you to use Global Verification Network and all American 948 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 1: veteran owned background investigation company.

That's my GDN dot com. It's kind of 957 00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,680 Speaker 1: amazing and that people that spend their lives in politics 958 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:11,319 Speaker 1: can make some of the purely political decisions that they 959 00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,759 Speaker 1: do make. I didn't get to talk to about this 960 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,480 Speaker 1: before I sort to throw this in the mix today. 961 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:19,160 Speaker 1: A governor, former governor of Massachusetts, deval Patrick, has said 962 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,120 Speaker 1: that he's going to run and there's all this reporting 963 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 1: that Obama. Obama gave him a blessing to run, I think, 964 00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,719 Speaker 1: and deval Patrick had this to say about his race, 965 00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,920 Speaker 1: pretty sure, Brandon, would you please play thirteen? And as 966 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 1: I've watched the field, many of them friends develop and 967 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:41,720 Speaker 1: offer their message. I do sense that there's still space 968 00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,200 Speaker 1: for what I offer. And in fact, as I've gotten 969 00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,200 Speaker 1: out and around over the course of the last ten 970 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,240 Speaker 1: days or so, I think that path is even wider 971 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,640 Speaker 1: than I imagined. I think deval Patrick's the only one 972 00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,399 Speaker 1: who thinks there's a wide path for him to run 973 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,319 Speaker 1: for president. I'm just gonna put that out there. There 974 00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,920 Speaker 1: was a photo that was circulating over the weekend of 975 00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:03,560 Speaker 1: Deval Patrick at an event for Deval Patrick and there 976 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,799 Speaker 1: was nobody there. Nobody, so they had to cancel the 977 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 1: event because no person showed up to the event. Not 978 00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,720 Speaker 1: I think they said that there were two who walked 979 00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,120 Speaker 1: in and we're like, we're not gonna be the only 980 00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,879 Speaker 1: two people here. So that's pretty much I think. I'll 981 00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 1: you even know about Deval Patrick's chances of winning the 982 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,160 Speaker 1: winning the presidency. I know that this is going to 983 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,279 Speaker 1: be the big topic for everybody. If you're gonna If 984 00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:31,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna talk politics at the Thanksgiving table, the big 985 00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,840 Speaker 1: topic will likely be the twenty twenty election and who 986 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 1: the best Democrat candidate will be for the twenty you know, 987 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,200 Speaker 1: who would be the best candidate or who would be 988 00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,320 Speaker 1: the most likely to win. Perhaps if you're a Republican, 989 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:48,200 Speaker 1: you're probably more likely to focus on that. I'm still 990 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,840 Speaker 1: putting my money on Elizabeth Warren, folks, and I'm pretty 991 00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:54,200 Speaker 1: confident welcome back to him, Pretty confident that my Elizabeth 992 00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,680 Speaker 1: Warren prediction is gonna be wrong. My Biden prediction, I 993 00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,080 Speaker 1: think is going to be correct, that he's not gonna 994 00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,319 Speaker 1: be the nominee. But I still don't know. I still 995 00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:01,919 Speaker 1: don't know who is going to be the one who 996 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,720 Speaker 1: steps forward when it's not by it. And it feels 997 00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:09,759 Speaker 1: like Elizabeth warrenber her her whole Medicare for All debacle 998 00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:11,799 Speaker 1: where she said she was going to pay for it 999 00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:13,880 Speaker 1: without making anybody else have to pay for it, and 1000 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:18,640 Speaker 1: all these different things. Elizabeth Warren, She's got problems obviously 1001 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,880 Speaker 1: with her candidacase there are issues that I think we're 1002 00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 1: gonna going to continue to face her, even on the left, 1003 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,399 Speaker 1: and just the fact and we were talking about Native 1004 00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 1: Americans and the Thanksgiving holiday earlier on the show. Just 1005 00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,319 Speaker 1: the fact that she has been able to continue on 1006 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,960 Speaker 1: as a viable candidate, despite the fact that she engaged 1007 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 1: in a multi decade long racial fraud is pretty stunning. 1008 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,040 Speaker 1: Democrats seemed finely. Remember same people who are telling you 1009 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,839 Speaker 1: Trump lies. Trump has a problem with the truth, you 1010 00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,880 Speaker 1: can't trust him, and all this stuff. I have no problem. 1011 00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:57,640 Speaker 1: Never mind Hillary Clinton, hollow who is in the pantheon 1012 00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:04,080 Speaker 1: of corrupt and dishonest politicians. There's something, particularly for me, 1013 00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:09,160 Speaker 1: at least, there's something particularly odious about the way the 1014 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,000 Speaker 1: news media has covered up for Hillary Clinton all these 1015 00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:13,880 Speaker 1: all these years, and the ways that she's like, I know, 1016 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:15,960 Speaker 1: do you all agree that that's nothing? Quickly due here different, 1017 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,480 Speaker 1: But you know they're really bashing these days. You've really 1018 00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,440 Speaker 1: got all the Democrats a little bit in in a 1019 00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:30,040 Speaker 1: foul mood. Michael Bloomberg because he's gonna I think that 1020 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,640 Speaker 1: here's his play. I've been thinking about this a lot 1021 00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,000 Speaker 1: more last night. Why act she went up for At first, 1022 00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:36,640 Speaker 1: let's do the bashing and then we'll get into what 1023 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 1: his play is. For example, we have Elizabeth Warren, so 1024 00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:48,000 Speaker 1: I am here on day two of Michael Bloomer thirty 1025 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:54,360 Speaker 1: seven million dollars and five You know, Michael Bloomer is 1026 00:56:54,440 --> 00:57:01,320 Speaker 1: making a bit about democracy in twenty twenty. He doesn't 1027 00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:05,640 Speaker 1: need people, He only needs zags and bags of money. 1028 00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:11,279 Speaker 1: This has been disproven so many times, and it's a 1029 00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:15,239 Speaker 1: it's a thing that politicians can only say because they 1030 00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 1: think that their constituencies aren't very bright. Like Elizabeth Warren 1031 00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,080 Speaker 1: knows that Jeff Bush spent a vast sum of money 1032 00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,240 Speaker 1: and lost to the primary, didn't even get close to 1033 00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,680 Speaker 1: winning the primary in the twenty sixteen election, that Hillary 1034 00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:36,480 Speaker 1: Clinton dramatically outspent Donald Trump and Donald Trump as we know, winning. 1035 00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 1: Yet here we are she's still saying this that somehow 1036 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,000 Speaker 1: Bloomberg might be able to buy the election, that Michael 1037 00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,560 Speaker 1: Bloomberg would be in a position to just run off 1038 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,160 Speaker 1: with this thing because he's got bags bags of money 1039 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,120 Speaker 1: to spend on it. He's not the only one. Do 1040 00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:57,440 Speaker 1: you got Bertie Sanders, who is very upset? Do you 1041 00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,440 Speaker 1: got another billionaire in the race? The oh get their 1042 00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:06,600 Speaker 1: class is destroying America by engaging in capitalism that creates 1043 00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:10,760 Speaker 1: tremendous prosperity in thousands and thousands of jobs. Can we 1044 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:15,960 Speaker 1: have a little bit of the Bernie Sanders vibe on 1045 00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,720 Speaker 1: the show, producer Brandon clip one, please clip one? And 1046 00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:22,479 Speaker 1: when he believes, and this is the arrogance of billionaires, Hey, 1047 00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,280 Speaker 1: I can run for president because I'm worth fifty five billion. 1048 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,360 Speaker 1: And maybe I'll take one billion out of that fifty 1049 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 1: five billion O a lot when you're worth that much. 1050 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,960 Speaker 1: And I gotta start running a massive amount of TVs 1051 00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,800 Speaker 1: to California and in fact all over this country. And 1052 00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:41,360 Speaker 1: I think that is precisely one of the factors that 1053 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:48,480 Speaker 1: is undermining American democracy. Here undermining democracy. People being able 1054 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:52,280 Speaker 1: to use their private property to spread that message is 1055 00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:58,920 Speaker 1: undermining democracy. It is not undermining democracy. But really, what 1056 00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:03,880 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Centers want is mobocracy. Oh colocracy. 1057 00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,919 Speaker 1: Just get the masses riled up on an issue. Don't 1058 00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,480 Speaker 1: let them That doesn't matter if they know what you 1059 00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,360 Speaker 1: really stand for, it doesn't matter if the math you're 1060 00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:15,240 Speaker 1: trying to sell them on doesn't add up. Just do whatever, 1061 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:19,680 Speaker 1: Do whatever you've got to do in order to get 1062 00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:21,960 Speaker 1: the votes you have to get to be in power 1063 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:30,400 Speaker 1: to further push America down the very destructive path of socialism. 1064 00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,680 Speaker 1: And this is where I think Bloomberg really comes in. 1065 00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 1: I've been thinking more about this. I don't think Bloomberg 1066 00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:40,360 Speaker 1: really believes he's going to be president. I just I 1067 00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:43,000 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't. I don't see it. He seems 1068 00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:44,600 Speaker 1: like a smart enough guy to know he's not going 1069 00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,800 Speaker 1: to win the presidency. But maybe that's not really his 1070 00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,120 Speaker 1: ultimate purpose here. I think he wants I think if 1071 00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,000 Speaker 1: he could win, he would take the job, and he 1072 00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,240 Speaker 1: would do it. I'm not saying that, but I think 1073 00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:58,240 Speaker 1: he've used this as a two pronged thing. One is 1074 00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,920 Speaker 1: the yeah, the vanity project act of running for president 1075 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,280 Speaker 1: given the very very weak field. Okay, fine. And also 1076 01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,720 Speaker 1: I think he sees what Donald Trump did after all 1077 01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:09,160 Speaker 1: the years that he said he was going to run, 1078 01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,760 Speaker 1: and then finally he runs and he wins. But I 1079 01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:17,000 Speaker 1: believe that Bloomberg understands that there's a real threat to 1080 01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:21,960 Speaker 1: everything that the Democrats believe in that comes from the 1081 01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:26,000 Speaker 1: openness and the intellectual flimsiness. But the open is about 1082 01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:30,680 Speaker 1: the socialism that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are pushing now, 1083 01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:35,800 Speaker 1: not that they couldn't win. I think that unfortunately, especially 1084 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:39,160 Speaker 1: if we hit a major financial downturn. And this is 1085 01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,560 Speaker 1: part of my concern for next year. I've said I 1086 01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:45,880 Speaker 1: have this something, there's something ominous that just keeps I'm 1087 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,560 Speaker 1: concerned things can't stay the way they are right now 1088 01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:53,080 Speaker 1: going into the election. Something's going to happen. If you 1089 01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:59,480 Speaker 1: hit a very bad economic stretch in the election year. 1090 01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,800 Speaker 1: Who does that benefit the most? It certainly benefits Democrats 1091 01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:04,520 Speaker 1: against Trump, There's no question. Then all of a sudden, 1092 01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,880 Speaker 1: you'll have news coverage of oh, the economy and unemployments 1093 01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:09,920 Speaker 1: going up, and they then, all of a sudden, will 1094 01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:11,560 Speaker 1: be the biggest story in the country every day. I'll 1095 01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:15,760 Speaker 1: flood the zone, even if it's a pretty moderate downturn, 1096 01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,120 Speaker 1: even if it's just a cyclical Okay, well, now we've 1097 01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:20,560 Speaker 1: got to kind of get some of the excess and 1098 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:24,720 Speaker 1: get some of the you know, the bad money out 1099 01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:26,439 Speaker 1: of the system, so to speak. I mean, just sort 1100 01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:30,920 Speaker 1: of let things reset. Even with that, they'll turn it 1101 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:32,680 Speaker 1: into the biggest news store in the country, and they'll 1102 01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:36,000 Speaker 1: say that this is a repudiation of Donald Trump. But 1103 01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:39,360 Speaker 1: the people in the Democratic primary who would benefit the 1104 01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,920 Speaker 1: most from this are the far left, I mean, the socialists. 1105 01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:48,200 Speaker 1: People get scared and they turn to the government to 1106 01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:52,760 Speaker 1: save them. People decide that when things get really bad, 1107 01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:56,480 Speaker 1: they never look at root causes, and government overspending and 1108 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,840 Speaker 1: intervention and monetary policy and all the things that can 1109 01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:02,880 Speaker 1: make a downturn certainly much worse, if not be the 1110 01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:07,160 Speaker 1: primary cause of a downturn in the economy, the cyclical 1111 01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:08,560 Speaker 1: nature of these things. And there are people that I 1112 01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:10,600 Speaker 1: know who would argue that we shouldn't have to have cyclical, 1113 01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:14,400 Speaker 1: these cyclical downturns, and that this is the result of 1114 01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:18,120 Speaker 1: monetary policy and central planning of our economy. By that, 1115 01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:20,520 Speaker 1: you know, and I people that just study this their 1116 01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:22,360 Speaker 1: whole lives go back and forth on this, and I'm not, 1117 01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,000 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not really one of them, although I 1118 01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,080 Speaker 1: do think I think the central planning is always is 1119 01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:28,600 Speaker 1: always something you want to do the bare minimum of, 1120 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,520 Speaker 1: just like I think government is something you want to 1121 01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:35,680 Speaker 1: have very clearly delineated and limited. This goes back, of 1122 01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:37,680 Speaker 1: course to our founding philosophy, but I think that should 1123 01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,200 Speaker 1: be the case as well. From the perspective of government 1124 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,040 Speaker 1: intervention in the economy. It should be the absolute minimum necessary, 1125 01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:46,240 Speaker 1: really just the enforcement of contracts and the bare minimum 1126 01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:49,280 Speaker 1: of regulation, and that's not what we have now. But 1127 01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,560 Speaker 1: if you were to have a market that all of 1128 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,520 Speaker 1: a sudden becomes really choppy and people get scared and 1129 01:02:55,560 --> 01:03:00,200 Speaker 1: bad things are happening, then you would see, I think, 1130 01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,000 Speaker 1: a big surgeon support for the far left the Democrat Party. 1131 01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:09,280 Speaker 1: Remember that it was when socialism had a big rise 1132 01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:13,840 Speaker 1: in this country as a result of the Great Depression. 1133 01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:19,680 Speaker 1: The narrative was that capitalism had failed. In fact, some 1134 01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:23,760 Speaker 1: of the traders to this country who were people who 1135 01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:26,360 Speaker 1: were communists, who were doing the bidding of the Soviet Union, 1136 01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,919 Speaker 1: and yes they existed, Yes that was real. They still 1137 01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,320 Speaker 1: pretend like we don't have more than a mountain of evidence, 1138 01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:35,880 Speaker 1: which we do that there were penetrations, Soviet penetrations of 1139 01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:39,560 Speaker 1: the United States government at a very high level, but 1140 01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:42,440 Speaker 1: also that there was tremendous there. There were efforts from 1141 01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:46,480 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union to infiltrate socialism and yes, communism into 1142 01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:49,560 Speaker 1: this country, but there was an openness to it. The 1143 01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:55,200 Speaker 1: fellow travelers of the Communist Party in Moscow in this 1144 01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:58,919 Speaker 1: country believe that capitalism had failed, and they looked around, 1145 01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,680 Speaker 1: they saw this economic station and sat, see, we need 1146 01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:03,920 Speaker 1: a system where the government will will make sure that 1147 01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,080 Speaker 1: we are fed and everything is fair and everything will 1148 01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:09,760 Speaker 1: be better. That became a belief that was really easy 1149 01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:14,800 Speaker 1: for people of honestly, of good intention initially to support. 1150 01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:17,360 Speaker 1: And so when people get scared, they don't look at 1151 01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,080 Speaker 1: the government and say what did you do? They look 1152 01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:20,800 Speaker 1: at the government and say, how could you help me? 1153 01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,240 Speaker 1: So if we head into a bad economic period in 1154 01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 1: the next year, you will see a big surgeon support 1155 01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:30,720 Speaker 1: for Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders and anybody who is 1156 01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:34,480 Speaker 1: far left on the Democrat spectrum and promising a whole 1157 01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:37,640 Speaker 1: lot of free The free stuff candidate becomes even though 1158 01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,880 Speaker 1: you can afford it even less with a bad economy, 1159 01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:43,080 Speaker 1: the free stuff candidate becomes very, very popular, very quickly, 1160 01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:48,480 Speaker 1: when all of a sudden everyone is scared. And that's 1161 01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:52,680 Speaker 1: where I think Bloomberg realizes that it's not a good 1162 01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:55,200 Speaker 1: idea for this country to go socialist. A Bloomberg, who's 1163 01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:59,640 Speaker 1: a self made multi multi billionaire, understands that at some level, 1164 01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:02,320 Speaker 1: and perhaps he believes that his role here is just 1165 01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,480 Speaker 1: to make sure that whoever wins the Democrat primary, it's 1166 01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:10,600 Speaker 1: somebody that at least at a basic level, believes in 1167 01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:16,840 Speaker 1: the benefits of capitalism as some understanding of what really 1168 01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:20,360 Speaker 1: works and how markets make our lives better, at how 1169 01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,800 Speaker 1: markets bring about prosperity and do things for us as 1170 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:25,640 Speaker 1: a people that we should all, yes, dare I say 1171 01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,600 Speaker 1: we should be thankful for We should be thankful for 1172 01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:31,360 Speaker 1: capitalism today, thankful that we live in a country that 1173 01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:34,640 Speaker 1: is certainly imperfect and has far too much socialism and 1174 01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:39,520 Speaker 1: central planning going on, but is at least in some 1175 01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:44,880 Speaker 1: ways a better example than all of our near peers 1176 01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:49,440 Speaker 1: about how to pursue efficient markets and to empower the 1177 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,640 Speaker 1: individual to make choices that benefit the individual, and then 1178 01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:57,400 Speaker 1: in the aggregate, those individual decisions that help that are 1179 01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:01,840 Speaker 1: based in self interest create a better society around for 1180 01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:05,640 Speaker 1: all of the rest of us. They invent new things, 1181 01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:08,600 Speaker 1: they make good things, they help with things, they provide 1182 01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:12,640 Speaker 1: services that all of us benefit from. That is a 1183 01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,800 Speaker 1: lesson that I would hope that perhaps we could be 1184 01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:18,280 Speaker 1: talking about at the Thanksgiving table this year. That would 1185 01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:20,000 Speaker 1: be that would be a better one. Tell the kids 1186 01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,280 Speaker 1: about why capitalism is great and that's why they've you know, 1187 01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,040 Speaker 1: you've got families all across the country that are going 1188 01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:28,439 Speaker 1: to be having a giant well I don't know whatever 1189 01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:30,880 Speaker 1: like a twenty pound bird or however big how big 1190 01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:32,720 Speaker 1: or like the average turkey, I don't even really know, 1191 01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:34,560 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, how how bigger? Like if 1192 01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:36,800 Speaker 1: you get like at standard Thanksgiving turkey, it's like, isn't 1193 01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,160 Speaker 1: like fifteen pounds or not? There's a big Did you 1194 01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,080 Speaker 1: see that video of the turkey following around the mail 1195 01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:46,440 Speaker 1: truck every single stop? Oh, turkeys are terrifying. Yeah, so 1196 01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:49,240 Speaker 1: they're big enough to do some damage. Turkeys. You know, 1197 01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:52,720 Speaker 1: you start to realize that, you know, there's that whole 1198 01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:54,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if that theory is still believed them, 1199 01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:58,080 Speaker 1: but that you had dinosaurs actually transitioned and you know, 1200 01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:00,840 Speaker 1: this was like around the Jurassic Park era when people 1201 01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:04,280 Speaker 1: started saying that they trends, they've evolved into birds over time. 1202 01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:06,520 Speaker 1: You look, you look in the eyes, you look at 1203 01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:09,240 Speaker 1: those little beady eyes of a turkey, and you're like, 1204 01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,720 Speaker 1: you you're a great greg You know, Grandpa is probably 1205 01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:15,200 Speaker 1: a velociraptor. You know. Yeah, they look they look scary, 1206 01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:18,400 Speaker 1: they're mean, and they'll come after you. They'll chase you down, 1207 01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:21,919 Speaker 1: you know other you know, birds, You get too close 1208 01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:24,480 Speaker 1: to birds, you find out the hardway. They they're not 1209 01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:27,480 Speaker 1: they're not cuddly, and turkeys will chase you down. They 1210 01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:30,439 Speaker 1: can be very very aggressive, and they are ugly too. 1211 01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:32,720 Speaker 1: They're one of the if you're thinking, like, what is 1212 01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:35,400 Speaker 1: the ugliest animal in the world, I think turkeys have 1213 01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,360 Speaker 1: got to be kinda up on that list. And they're 1214 01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:40,920 Speaker 1: really and they do you know, you think about like buzzards. 1215 01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:44,760 Speaker 1: I think that buzzards and vultures are very high up 1216 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,000 Speaker 1: on the animals you don't want to be near and 1217 01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,760 Speaker 1: spend time around scale. You know. Yeah, they just look 1218 01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,800 Speaker 1: dirty all the time and they goblet underneath. You don't 1219 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:54,760 Speaker 1: know what's going on. It's not cool. Yeah, but they 1220 01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:57,959 Speaker 1: taste pretty They taste pretty good. Um, so we're gonna 1221 01:07:57,960 --> 01:07:59,640 Speaker 1: be We're gonna beat in some turkey. They're gonna have 1222 01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:02,640 Speaker 1: some turk sandwiches the day after that, turkey, turkey, turkey 1223 01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:05,400 Speaker 1: for days and days and days. Good things, my friends. 1224 01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,960 Speaker 1: I think the concern of this perspective that makes it 1225 01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:14,000 Speaker 1: sound like, you know, it's all the fault of students 1226 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:18,080 Speaker 1: of color or somehow their families that they struggle to 1227 01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:19,840 Speaker 1: get ahead, and when the reality is there are so 1228 01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:23,559 Speaker 1: many barriers that our system puts up, and I want 1229 01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:26,360 Speaker 1: to make sure I communicated that I'm very conscious of 1230 01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:30,320 Speaker 1: the advantages and privileges that I have had, not through 1231 01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:33,960 Speaker 1: any great wealth, but certainly through education, through the advantages 1232 01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:36,559 Speaker 1: that come with being white and being male. And that's 1233 01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,719 Speaker 1: part of why I know I've got to make myself 1234 01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:42,519 Speaker 1: useful as a candidate and as president. Pete Buddha Judge 1235 01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:44,760 Speaker 1: got into some trouble here with the Democrats because he 1236 01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:48,040 Speaker 1: tried to talk about education and particularly education and minority 1237 01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,519 Speaker 1: communities and what could be done to improve things. And 1238 01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:54,639 Speaker 1: this is probably a surprise, dude, none of you listening, 1239 01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:57,120 Speaker 1: but guess what. There are only certain things you're allowed 1240 01:08:57,160 --> 01:09:00,479 Speaker 1: to say when you're talking about minorities and education in 1241 01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:03,760 Speaker 1: America if you are a white male, period. But if 1242 01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:06,760 Speaker 1: you're a white male running for elected office and all use, 1243 01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:09,320 Speaker 1: the only things you're allowed to say, and this was 1244 01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:11,160 Speaker 1: established once again with Mayor Peter you the only things 1245 01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:17,080 Speaker 1: allowed to say is systemic racism, racism, barriers to minorities, 1246 01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:20,960 Speaker 1: more racism, and more resources needed because racism, that's it. 1247 01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,439 Speaker 1: You deviate from that as a Democrat, you go in 1248 01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:27,439 Speaker 1: any other director you talk about, well, maybe we'll look 1249 01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:29,800 Speaker 1: at how what are charter schools? Which charter schools are 1250 01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:31,879 Speaker 1: public schools. It's just money that it's just a different 1251 01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:34,599 Speaker 1: format for a public school. But anyway people who oh, 1252 01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:37,280 Speaker 1: it drains money from public schools is a silly it's 1253 01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:40,640 Speaker 1: a strange argument. But you're not allowed to have an 1254 01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:45,719 Speaker 1: open conversation about education when education is failing in so 1255 01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:49,280 Speaker 1: many underprivileged minority communities across the country. It's just it's 1256 01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:52,639 Speaker 1: just sad. It's it's really it's really troubling. The people 1257 01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:56,120 Speaker 1: that are supposed to be in positions of power that 1258 01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,760 Speaker 1: can do something about this or could come up with 1259 01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:03,880 Speaker 1: new ideas either are unwilling to or aren't allowed to. 1260 01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:07,519 Speaker 1: They're not allowed to come up with things ideas to help. 1261 01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:09,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I know people that teach in schools here 1262 01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:13,840 Speaker 1: in New York City that are that are almost that 1263 01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:16,400 Speaker 1: are entirely as a as a function of the way 1264 01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:20,320 Speaker 1: the school is set up underprivileged backgrounds. People that have 1265 01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,200 Speaker 1: to be either from section they at housing or I 1266 01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:24,519 Speaker 1: forget what the designation is, but they've received some form 1267 01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:28,599 Speaker 1: of welfare. The schools entirely minority, and I hear about 1268 01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:30,240 Speaker 1: what goes on at that school and The problem is 1269 01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:34,360 Speaker 1: not resources. The problem is not a lack of computers 1270 01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:36,000 Speaker 1: or textbooks. I mean, these are things that you'll hear. 1271 01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:37,960 Speaker 1: The problem is not there's not enough money for teachers 1272 01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:40,160 Speaker 1: or there's not enough teachers. That those are not the problems. 1273 01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:44,240 Speaker 1: Problems are. And this is from teachers I know in 1274 01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:46,240 Speaker 1: one school in particular here in New York City that's 1275 01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:50,960 Speaker 1: entirely underprivileged and minority, that problems are things like students 1276 01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:56,080 Speaker 1: are unwilling to listen to authority. They're unwilling to be 1277 01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,240 Speaker 1: silent when they're told that it's time for someone who 1278 01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,920 Speaker 1: presented the class, or are they they don't show up, 1279 01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:04,479 Speaker 1: or they there are all these other issues that come 1280 01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:08,519 Speaker 1: up in the classroom, and there's no support for students 1281 01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,479 Speaker 1: to do their homework at home. This is what I 1282 01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:12,720 Speaker 1: hear from teachers all the time. But if you're a 1283 01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:14,720 Speaker 1: Democrat and you can't talk about any of that, if 1284 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,000 Speaker 1: you're a Democrat, you know what the script is, What 1285 01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:22,880 Speaker 1: is the problem with education as it pertains to minority 1286 01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:26,800 Speaker 1: majority schools and minority neighborhoods where the test scores are 1287 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:32,799 Speaker 1: very low and education is not succeeding. The answer is racism. Racism, racism, 1288 01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,400 Speaker 1: structural racism, and more racism. If you say anything other 1289 01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:38,760 Speaker 1: than that, you will be crushed by your own side 1290 01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:40,920 Speaker 1: as a Democrat. And that's just sad because you know 1291 01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,679 Speaker 1: who suffers as a result of that, Kids who cannot 1292 01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,720 Speaker 1: count on adults to have adult conversations about how to 1293 01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:49,519 Speaker 1: make the education system better for all kids, and in 1294 01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:51,920 Speaker 1: particular minority kids in this country. And this is the 1295 01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:55,080 Speaker 1: Democrat's fault. This is what they do. I understand what 1296 01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:57,720 Speaker 1: it's like to go through the process of buying life insurance. 1297 01:11:57,880 --> 01:11:59,360 Speaker 1: I had to do it before I went overseas. It 1298 01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:02,400 Speaker 1: felt a little bit weird. But that's why you need 1299 01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:05,799 Speaker 1: to check out my friends at Ethos Life Insurance because 1300 01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:09,160 Speaker 1: they make sure that there's no hassle, no nonsense, and 1301 01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:11,720 Speaker 1: they'll find a plan that allows you to make sure 1302 01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:15,240 Speaker 1: that your family is prepared for an uncertain future. This 1303 01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:17,559 Speaker 1: is something you've got to do. It's the responsible choice, 1304 01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:20,639 Speaker 1: and Blink makes it easy for you.

I don't know. 1357 01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:46,920 Speaker 1: It's it's very much a nineties movie, but it's pretty good. 1358 01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:51,360 Speaker 1: I saw it with my brothers so many times.

Not ranch dressing, folks, 1367 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:21,559 Speaker 1: blue cheese dressing. All right, let's be civilized, Hunter writes. 1368 01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:24,920 Speaker 1: My name is Hunter, and I'm from Texas. I want 1369 01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:27,400 Speaker 1: to tell you how much I support you. I'm very 1370 01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:29,479 Speaker 1: recent Christian, and I became a follower of Jesus from 1371 01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:34,160 Speaker 1: a totally unlikely background. I was previously an extremely left 1372 01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:37,920 Speaker 1: wing liberal Jew. In the span of the last year, 1373 01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,320 Speaker 1: all those things have changed. I've begun to be transformed 1374 01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,160 Speaker 1: because of this change. I've become a huge fan of 1375 01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:46,680 Speaker 1: yours and your leadership for conservatism and traditional values and 1376 01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:50,080 Speaker 1: masculinity in America. But I'm actually most impressed by what 1377 01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:53,360 Speaker 1: an amazing person you are. Studying the Bible and following 1378 01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,439 Speaker 1: Christ with the Christian community helps me see that, and 1379 01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:56,880 Speaker 1: that's what made me want to share with you how 1380 01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:59,760 Speaker 1: much I've changed and been impacted by your example. Thank 1381 01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:01,559 Speaker 1: you so much for being an amazing role model in 1382 01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:04,680 Speaker 1: christ Hunter Well, Hunter, God blessman. Thank you so much. 1383 01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:08,400 Speaker 1: It's a very very kind message, and I hope I will. 1384 01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:12,320 Speaker 1: I hope I can going forward live up to that message, 1385 01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:14,080 Speaker 1: because this is a very very nice thing that you 1386 01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:19,720 Speaker 1: wrote in So thank you so much. I don't know 1387 01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:21,559 Speaker 1: I see, I don't know people's names because I only 1388 01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:23,120 Speaker 1: have their screen and I don't want to use people's 1389 01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:25,760 Speaker 1: screen names without asking them first. So we'll just call 1390 01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:29,559 Speaker 1: this guy Rob, even though that's not his name. Hey Buck, 1391 01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:32,200 Speaker 1: I was catching up on the podcast as a licensed 1392 01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:36,360 Speaker 1: mental professional. I want to clear up a misconception. There 1393 01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:39,679 Speaker 1: are many mental health providers who are conservative. However, mental 1394 01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:43,760 Speaker 1: health providers do not have conscious conscientious protection and face 1395 01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:47,000 Speaker 1: a very liberal lineup of higher education institutions, journals, and 1396 01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:51,720 Speaker 1: associations such as the APA and ACA. For any conservative 1397 01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:53,840 Speaker 1: mental health provider who would like to surround themselves with 1398 01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:56,120 Speaker 1: those who see the truth and the true effects of 1399 01:17:56,160 --> 01:18:01,080 Speaker 1: medical surgical treatment of gender dysphoria, aap log has a 1400 01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:03,840 Speaker 1: new mental health wing working on spreading the truth. I 1401 01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:08,320 Speaker 1: don't know what aplog is, but thank you quote Rob, 1402 01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:09,760 Speaker 1: because I don't know what your real name is the 1403 01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:16,080 Speaker 1: mental health professional. I appreciate I appreciate you writing in. 1404 01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:20,559 Speaker 1: And yeah, I didn't say that all people who are 1405 01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:24,240 Speaker 1: mental health practitioners are liberals. It's just the most by 1406 01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:29,920 Speaker 1: party affiliation, it is the most liberal of the mental 1407 01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:35,439 Speaker 1: health professions. So you have more Democrats who are shrinks 1408 01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:38,720 Speaker 1: than you do, say, have Democrats who are surgeons. And 1409 01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:42,400 Speaker 1: now we will transition. Remember guys, check out the Graham 1410 01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:45,840 Speaker 1: Buck on the Instagram. I'll probably post a photo of Tallulah. 1411 01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:50,000 Speaker 1: I'll be scratching her belly, feeding your giant chunks of 1412 01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:53,200 Speaker 1: seared turkey meat. I guess I wouldn't be seared, it 1413 01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:55,880 Speaker 1: would be baked. You bake a road Do you roast 1414 01:18:55,960 --> 01:19:00,640 Speaker 1: or bake a turkey? You roast a turkey? Right? This 1415 01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:02,720 Speaker 1: is great. What's the difference in roasting and baking that? 1416 01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:05,640 Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you, but right, I've always heard the terminology, 1417 01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:08,800 Speaker 1: know turkey. I mean you put in the oven, you 1418 01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:10,439 Speaker 1: turn the heat up, you roast in it, and you're 1419 01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:14,200 Speaker 1: baking it. Roast sounds more. I know that the thing 1420 01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:16,920 Speaker 1: with the fire at the top is the broiler, and 1421 01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:18,640 Speaker 1: you get to bast it too, and you bait. I 1422 01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:21,519 Speaker 1: know what basting is. It's where you you dripped the 1423 01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:24,240 Speaker 1: juice all over it. Right, yeah, yeah, I don't know. 1424 01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:26,120 Speaker 1: I've never really been involved in the turkey cooking. One 1425 01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:27,599 Speaker 1: day I'll have to learn how to do this myself. 1426 01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:31,720 Speaker 1: I have learned how to cook that bird. I might 1427 01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:33,439 Speaker 1: go see a movie bout, Michael C. Have you seen 1428 01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:38,559 Speaker 1: um Ford Versus Ferrari? I might go check it out. No, 1429 01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:41,360 Speaker 1: but I did finally see Joker. What do you think 1430 01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:45,479 Speaker 1: it is probably one of the best, uh comic movies 1431 01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,400 Speaker 1: I've seen in a very very long time. Yeah, because 1432 01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:51,680 Speaker 1: it focused more on speaking of mental health, focus more 1433 01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:53,920 Speaker 1: on the person and the story instead of all the 1434 01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,519 Speaker 1: CGI stuff going on. It was it was a real 1435 01:19:56,640 --> 01:20:00,080 Speaker 1: it was a real story that had human connection and 1436 01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,000 Speaker 1: an impact, and it felt like it felt like something 1437 01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:07,880 Speaker 1: that people would remember afterwards. Sure. Yeah, I look, I 1438 01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:09,439 Speaker 1: thought it was I thought it was excellent, and people 1439 01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:11,519 Speaker 1: said it was so sounds. I mean, there's some violent stuff, 1440 01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:13,680 Speaker 1: but it's not super it's not ultra violent. No. I mean, 1441 01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:15,560 Speaker 1: if you're going pulp fiction and this stuff back in 1442 01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:17,559 Speaker 1: the day, it's not like that. No. No, I mean 1443 01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:21,559 Speaker 1: maybe compared to Aunt Man and some of the lighter 1444 01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:24,679 Speaker 1: comic movies perhaps, but as far as the movie itself, 1445 01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:27,479 Speaker 1: I mean, you see any Tarantino movie, Those are violent, 1446 01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:30,960 Speaker 1: very violent. Yeah, I'm by the way, I am. I 1447 01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:33,719 Speaker 1: am an anti Tarantino guy. As far as his movies 1448 01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:36,040 Speaker 1: in general, or just him as, I don't like him. 1449 01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:38,320 Speaker 1: You don't like pulp fiction, I don't like any of it, 1450 01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:39,960 Speaker 1: all right, I've seen a lot of it. No, I know, 1451 01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:41,880 Speaker 1: people look at me like I'm crazy. I mean, did 1452 01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:45,120 Speaker 1: you like inglorious bastards. Yeah, not one of my favorites 1453 01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:48,479 Speaker 1: by him, but reservoir dogs. No, wait, hold on a 1454 01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:52,880 Speaker 1: second producer, Nick, who's coming in from the mother ship. 1455 01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:54,559 Speaker 1: He says, here we go. So now, I mean, now 1456 01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:58,520 Speaker 1: I don't sound like a fool on radio. Roasting occurs 1457 01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:03,360 Speaker 1: at higher temp ritures with an uncovered pen. So that 1458 01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:06,439 Speaker 1: how okay? How many of you at home really knew 1459 01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:09,000 Speaker 1: the difference he's baking and roasted. I mean, you know 1460 01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:10,800 Speaker 1: there are different things, But did you know that I 1461 01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:12,720 Speaker 1: didn't know that. We need to get the more you know, 1462 01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:15,679 Speaker 1: sound bite on the board. Knowing is half the battle, 1463 01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,280 Speaker 1: remember that. Yeah, we grew up, we do. We grew 1464 01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:20,320 Speaker 1: up with such better cartoons.

As Master Yoda would say, the dark 1528 01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:53,400 Speaker 1: side I sense in you? Is that pretty good? That's 1529 01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:56,120 Speaker 1: pretty good? Right? My Yoda wasn't bad for a guy 1530 01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:59,200 Speaker 1: never does Yoda on the show or does yoga, but 1531 01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:02,360 Speaker 1: doesn't do Yoda either, A little bit of Grovey. Yeah, 1532 01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:05,599 Speaker 1: it might be the same guy, though voices it could 1533 01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:09,479 Speaker 1: we Matt Drudge seems way too negative on Trump lately, 1534 01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:12,440 Speaker 1: as abundantly clear as a bright, sunning day along the horizon, 1535 01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:16,200 Speaker 1: Thank you buck. Yeah, people have gotten kind of upset 1536 01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:18,439 Speaker 1: with Drudge recently. I don't really know what that's about. 1537 01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:21,840 Speaker 1: I don't know why why we got Drudge all of 1538 01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:24,680 Speaker 1: a sudden, not really being on the Trump train. It's 1539 01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:26,360 Speaker 1: not even that sudden. It's been a while now. But 1540 01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:30,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. Trudge is a is a shadowy, shadowy figure, 1541 01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:35,080 Speaker 1: shadowy character. He's elusive, like a snow leopard. You never 1542 01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:37,040 Speaker 1: know where you're gonna find him, never know where he's 1543 01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:39,880 Speaker 1: gonna turn up. And I guess snow leopards actually have 1544 01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:41,840 Speaker 1: to stay at high altitude in very limited regions. But 1545 01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:44,760 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, hard to find. I don't 1546 01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:46,400 Speaker 1: know what the deal is with Drudge. I never met him. 1547 01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:48,479 Speaker 1: I've never talked to Matt Drudge, so I don't know. 1548 01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:49,920 Speaker 1: I don't even think he knows who I am, So 1549 01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:53,800 Speaker 1: I can't say that I have anything like that. Here 1550 01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:55,760 Speaker 1: we go, Matt writes in oh a little more. The 1551 01:25:55,880 --> 01:26:00,719 Speaker 1: more you know. Doo doo, doo doo. Remember that, Matt 1552 01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,719 Speaker 1: writes in because I mentioned that the sweetbreads yesterday, we're disgusting, 1553 01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:08,320 Speaker 1: And I'm correct. There's that trying to save you all 1554 01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:10,240 Speaker 1: from making the mistake that many of may before if 1555 01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:13,600 Speaker 1: going to restaurant like, oh, sweetbreads. I like bread. I 1556 01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:17,560 Speaker 1: like things that are sweet. Perhaps I shall like sweetbread. No, 1557 01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:21,840 Speaker 1: it is not like chocolate flavored bread. It is, as 1558 01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:27,799 Speaker 1: Matt points out, the thymus or pancreas glands. That sounds 1559 01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:30,479 Speaker 1: even grosser than what I was talking about. I think 1560 01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:35,080 Speaker 1: I would take intestines over thymus or pancreas. Honestly, maybe not. 1561 01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:38,280 Speaker 1: Intestants are kind of gross too. And he also says 1562 01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:42,680 Speaker 1: here that tongue taste like pot roast. I believe you, 1563 01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:45,640 Speaker 1: but let me also say that I don't know what 1564 01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:48,960 Speaker 1: pot roast taste like, so I can't say if it 1565 01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:51,160 Speaker 1: tastes like tongue or not. I don't have ever had it. 1566 01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:57,559 Speaker 1: Brand In Hey, brother Buck and producer Mark Shields high 1567 01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:02,120 Speaker 1: congrats in the upcoming wedding this weekend.

There's a wave of patriots 1576 01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:35,280 Speaker 1: attending these meetings in record numbers. I haven't seen anything 1577 01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:38,120 Speaker 1: like this since the Tea Party movement. The organization that 1578 01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,759 Speaker 1: informed me about it is called the Virginia Citizens Defense 1579 01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:45,360 Speaker 1: League or VCDL. As of last night, Virginia has had 1580 01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:49,400 Speaker 1: fifteen counties become Second Amendment sanctuary counties, and many more 1581 01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:52,679 Speaker 1: have planned to meet. Shields are high in Virginia. Brother, 1582 01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:56,840 Speaker 1: God bless you Airborne all the way. Brandon.

We 1645 01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:17,960 Speaker 1: used to go visit my dad's mother, so my grandmother 1646 01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:23,080 Speaker 1: on the father's side, down in Charlottesville, Virginia, and we 1647 01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:25,599 Speaker 1: would drive down to Charlottesville, all six of us, because 1648 01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:27,679 Speaker 1: I want to force those four kids and my family 1649 01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:30,200 Speaker 1: and my mom and dad, and we would drive down there, 1650 01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:33,200 Speaker 1: and many times we made that made the trip in 1651 01:31:33,320 --> 01:31:40,680 Speaker 1: a Cadillac Sedan, like an old school I think it 1652 01:31:40,760 --> 01:31:43,840 Speaker 1: was from like nineteen seventy eight or something, and this 1653 01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:48,080 Speaker 1: was in the nineties, so really old Cadillacs, a dad 1654 01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:50,680 Speaker 1: that did not have air conditioning that worked, by the way, 1655 01:31:51,160 --> 01:31:54,400 Speaker 1: which was not a big deal for going down for Thanksgiving, 1656 01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:57,479 Speaker 1: but when we would drive down there for fourth or July, 1657 01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:01,480 Speaker 1: that was not always optimal. It was it was suboptimal. 1658 01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:03,960 Speaker 1: But driving down to Thanksgiving and driving down to Charlotte's 1659 01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:07,160 Speaker 1: Villliver Thanksgiving from New York City, it's like you're trying 1660 01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:11,200 Speaker 1: to go to do the worst leg of travel in 1661 01:32:11,280 --> 01:32:14,320 Speaker 1: the worst single corridor in the entire country as a 1662 01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:16,559 Speaker 1: as a tradition, but it brought us closer as a family. 1663 01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:20,280 Speaker 1: There were times were almost run out of gas, there 1664 01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:23,840 Speaker 1: were flat tires, there were you know, incidents of plenty 1665 01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:25,920 Speaker 1: on that on that road trip back of the day. 1666 01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:28,760 Speaker 1: And you know, this is before we all had smartphones 1667 01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:30,439 Speaker 1: and GPS and everything else, so you know, you got 1668 01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:31,960 Speaker 1: into a road trip.

Okay, I guess Sweet Child of Mine. Okay, 1782 01:37:45,360 --> 01:37:48,560 Speaker 1: I think that's one of the greatest. It's not a 1783 01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:50,600 Speaker 1: rock anthem, and I think it's one of the I 1784 01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:52,479 Speaker 1: think you could argue it's one of the ten greatest 1785 01:37:52,640 --> 01:37:58,879 Speaker 1: actual rock songs of I mean certainly of my lifetime. 1786 01:37:59,040 --> 01:38:01,360 Speaker 1: I could say that people always put it in there. Oh, 1787 01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:03,439 Speaker 1: this is like what they do with movies. Though black 1788 01:38:03,479 --> 01:38:05,679 Speaker 1: and white movies are so good, they're but that's crap. 1789 01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:08,400 Speaker 1: Black and white movies are mostly boring and do not 1790 01:38:08,560 --> 01:38:11,280 Speaker 1: hold up same thing about older rock with them. Oh, 1791 01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:13,920 Speaker 1: but you know, you really, if you really want the 1792 01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:16,840 Speaker 1: good stuff you've then you've got to listen. I'm like, 1793 01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:20,479 Speaker 1: the Beatles had as much garbage as they did good stuff. 1794 01:38:21,040 --> 01:38:23,280 Speaker 1: Well they did a lot, so I guess you can't 1795 01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:25,080 Speaker 1: win them all. A lot of it was not not 1796 01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:28,599 Speaker 1: so not so good, you know. I mean, Hendrix has 1797 01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:30,360 Speaker 1: a couple of really really good songs. I mean, I 1798 01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:32,719 Speaker 1: appreciate that you said that Hendrix might be the greatest 1799 01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:34,240 Speaker 1: rock guitars of all time. I think I could go 1800 01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:36,840 Speaker 1: for that. I could get into it, but I sweech 1801 01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:39,160 Speaker 1: out in the Mind is amazing. Welcome to the Jungle 1802 01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:42,800 Speaker 1: is that. It's definitely it's one of those two because 1803 01:38:43,320 --> 01:38:45,639 Speaker 1: it's not November rain, That's for sure. That's my favorite. 1804 01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:50,320 Speaker 1: That's my personal favorite. What it is? I like what 1805 01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:53,720 Speaker 1: is happening the epics mixed in with the rock. I like, 1806 01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:56,880 Speaker 1: I like the grand of it. I oh man, I 1807 01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:59,320 Speaker 1: just went for them trying. That was one I get 1808 01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:01,760 Speaker 1: marked back. I can't even remember what's it, so I 1809 01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:04,280 Speaker 1: get mark back here. No, no, no, it's fun. I'm 1810 01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:06,160 Speaker 1: just trying to think of what the other the other 1811 01:39:06,280 --> 01:39:08,320 Speaker 1: great Guns and Roses songs are. Well, this is why 1812 01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:12,639 Speaker 1: I because you can speak to everybody universally with politics. 1813 01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:15,640 Speaker 1: Despite the fact that Gina was my favorite band to me, 1814 01:39:15,760 --> 01:39:18,000 Speaker 1: no matter what generation you are, you know sweet shad 1815 01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:20,160 Speaker 1: of Mine, you know. So that's that's the point. You 1816 01:39:20,240 --> 01:39:22,000 Speaker 1: can ask anybody in the street. They know that song. 1817 01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:25,080 Speaker 1: It's a look, it's a fantastic song, um so, and 1818 01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:27,479 Speaker 1: it's one of those few songs from a Guns and 1819 01:39:27,560 --> 01:39:30,280 Speaker 1: Roses considered a hair band that's actually a topic of 1820 01:39:30,320 --> 01:39:33,080 Speaker 1: conversation sometimes. I don't think so. I think they kind 1821 01:39:33,120 --> 01:39:35,559 Speaker 1: of killed that a little bit. I mean because they 1822 01:39:35,600 --> 01:39:38,040 Speaker 1: did have super long hair. They did, But I mean 1823 01:39:38,160 --> 01:39:40,879 Speaker 1: maybe because in the Welcome to the Jungle video actual 1824 01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:43,000 Speaker 1: teases his hair up, you know, with the AquaNet back 1825 01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:46,160 Speaker 1: in the day, huh would you have done that if 1826 01:39:46,200 --> 01:39:49,439 Speaker 1: you were I mean, I would those guys. I feel 1827 01:39:49,479 --> 01:39:51,920 Speaker 1: like there was nothing quite like being a true rock 1828 01:39:52,040 --> 01:39:55,760 Speaker 1: star in the eighties and nineties for just you know, 1829 01:39:56,280 --> 01:39:58,280 Speaker 1: having a lot of fun and doing whatever the heck 1830 01:39:58,360 --> 01:40:01,680 Speaker 1: you want. Just to picture you're you're swoop with AquaNet 1831 01:40:01,800 --> 01:40:04,360 Speaker 1: and just teased out is I don't even know what 1832 01:40:04,439 --> 01:40:06,560 Speaker 1: AquaNet is, but o, it's like hairspray. It's just like 1833 01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:09,639 Speaker 1: crazy hair spray. Yeah, I mean the swoop. The swoop really, 1834 01:40:09,680 --> 01:40:11,080 Speaker 1: I mean basically if I was in a band, it 1835 01:40:11,080 --> 01:40:14,040 Speaker 1: would be a hair band because of the swoop by definition. Sure, 1836 01:40:14,200 --> 01:40:15,880 Speaker 1: So that's that's one way to that's one way to 1837 01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:18,320 Speaker 1: keep keep things rolling along. Here.

Omer all right, it's hey Buck, longtime fan. 1895 01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:38,360 Speaker 1: Love the show Shieldsy. Today you played a clip of 1896 01:43:38,479 --> 01:43:41,720 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris talking about her pharma plan. Believe it or not, 1897 01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:44,160 Speaker 1: I actually think there's a good idea presented somewhere in 1898 01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:46,840 Speaker 1: her ramblings. Not the part about stripping companies of their 1899 01:43:46,880 --> 01:43:49,840 Speaker 1: patents that was obviously blunkers. It was the part about 1900 01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:52,080 Speaker 1: setting a cap on drug prices that is based on 1901 01:43:52,240 --> 01:43:55,000 Speaker 1: global averages that has merit, though not for the reasons 1902 01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:59,439 Speaker 1: Kamala thinks it does. I'm a Canadian citizen who's working 1903 01:43:59,439 --> 01:44:02,000 Speaker 1: in the public hell care industry and clinical research, and 1904 01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:03,800 Speaker 1: I have to tell you it's true that our drug 1905 01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:06,320 Speaker 1: prices are much lower than yours are in the States, 1906 01:44:06,680 --> 01:44:10,360 Speaker 1: but only because we cheat health. Canada puts a cap 1907 01:44:10,479 --> 01:44:14,080 Speaker 1: on drug prices that is significantly lower than the free 1908 01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:18,080 Speaker 1: market value of all medication. Some drug companies don't bother 1909 01:44:18,160 --> 01:44:20,080 Speaker 1: any of the Canadian market because of this cap, but 1910 01:44:20,280 --> 01:44:23,080 Speaker 1: most capitulate. The reason they put up with this is 1911 01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:25,240 Speaker 1: that the revenue they are making from the high the 1912 01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:28,960 Speaker 1: high free market drug prices in the US more than 1913 01:44:29,040 --> 01:44:32,719 Speaker 1: covers the cost of R and D and regulatory adherents. Therefore, 1914 01:44:32,840 --> 01:44:35,560 Speaker 1: drug companies are still able to turn a profit in 1915 01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:38,519 Speaker 1: Canada on razor thin margins. It's in this way the 1916 01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:41,679 Speaker 1: US subsidizes drug prices for Canada and really the rest 1917 01:44:41,720 --> 01:44:45,479 Speaker 1: of the world. Yeah, I've heard about this. Kama thinks 1918 01:44:45,520 --> 01:44:47,600 Speaker 1: likely putting a peg on drug prices based on the 1919 01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:49,680 Speaker 1: world average will bring US drug prices down to level 1920 01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:52,120 Speaker 1: the rest of the world. Chet is wrong. The drug 1921 01:44:52,320 --> 01:44:55,880 Speaker 1: industry is too capital intensive and high risk to exist 1922 01:44:56,000 --> 01:44:59,680 Speaker 1: on such small margins worldwide. Again, the only reason other 1923 01:44:59,720 --> 01:45:01,320 Speaker 1: con he's get away with it is they're leading on 1924 01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:05,040 Speaker 1: the high markups US citizens pay for their drugs. If 1925 01:45:05,080 --> 01:45:07,200 Speaker 1: the US were to stop paying those high prices, the 1926 01:45:07,280 --> 01:45:10,759 Speaker 1: whole industry would collapse and all likelihood what this policy 1927 01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:12,560 Speaker 1: would do is forced the drug companies to raise the 1928 01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:15,840 Speaker 1: cost of medication globally to ensure the high rates of 1929 01:45:15,880 --> 01:45:20,439 Speaker 1: the US market remain intact. Wow, this is fascinating. He's 1930 01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:21,560 Speaker 1: got more and more and more here. I hope that 1931 01:45:21,640 --> 01:45:22,680 Speaker 1: was co here, And let me know if you need 1932 01:45:22,720 --> 01:45:24,360 Speaker 1: me to clarify anything. Thanks for hearing me. I'll keep 1933 01:45:24,439 --> 01:45:27,040 Speaker 1: up the good work. Ohmer, Ohmer, that's fascinating man. Thank 1934 01:45:27,040 --> 01:45:29,639 Speaker 1: you so much somebody. Really, I've heard this argument before, 1935 01:45:29,680 --> 01:45:31,320 Speaker 1: but it sounds like you're somebody who works in the 1936 01:45:31,479 --> 01:45:36,000 Speaker 1: industry and has a particular expertise and background in it. 1937 01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:45,200 Speaker 1: Now Here we have to Bill who writes Buck? Is 1938 01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:47,000 Speaker 1: this true? And I can't see what you're asking me 1939 01:45:47,040 --> 01:45:50,360 Speaker 1: other than that, So the answers I don't know, Daniel 1940 01:45:51,080 --> 01:45:54,240 Speaker 1: Buck love the impressions, even though Warden sounds a bit 1941 01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:59,479 Speaker 1: like Flute from hr puffin Stuff, and your Betto sounds 1942 01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:02,439 Speaker 1: totally like Kyle from the Amanda Show.
