Together, we will make America 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:36.440 great again. It's what you've been waiting for all day. 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:40.840 Buck Sexton with America now joined the conversation called Buck 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:44.800 Toll Free at eight four four nine hundred Buck that's 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.800 eight four four nine hundred to eight to five the 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:54.480 future of talk radio. Buck Sexton Team, Welcome to the 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:59.920 Freedom Hunt Free Style Friday is honest. We're in hype 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:04.080 of the holiday season right now. Last minute gift preparations 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.399 going on. People going to check out the Big Tree 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:09.600 here in New York City at Rockfeller Center and do 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.520 whatever other Christmas stuff they like to do. And I 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.560 got some news for you, those who care about these 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:17.720 things that I'm willing to bet a lot of you do. 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:23.480 Taxes are going down in this country. The latest and 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:30.520 most breaking of news today just can't just hit the airwaves. 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.160 Uh hit the airwaves just before I came on air, 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.759 and that is that the GOP is well gup. Has 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.800 the votes, right, I mean, they they still could mess 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.040 it up, but they're probably not going to. It looks 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:47.280 like it is happening. It would be a one point 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:51.520 five trillion dollar tax cut over the next decade. It 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:56.000 would have some pretty important impacts on the US economy, 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.040 could spur a whole lot of hiring and investment and 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:05.200 good thing. In fact, you even had Bob Corker, who 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.600 for those of you who care, which I'm assuming it's 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.200 probably very few of you, but Bob Corker came along 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:13.200 for this one. He was initially a no. Maybe he 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.880 just wanted to get a little attention. He was initially 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.440 a no. But he has said, Bob Corker Tennessee that 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:23.520 he will come on board here. And Senator Marco Rubio 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.960 also known as Little Marco, which Tyron and I were discussing, 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.600 probably doesn't like to be called Little Marco. I've just 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.480 you know it. You know, they're the nicknames like Bush 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:35.880 would give people nicknames the White House that they liked, 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.639 you know, you know, be like you know, you're you're 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.720 you're You're my pal. I'm gonna call you pal, you 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.280 know what I mean. But Little Marco, I don't know 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.520 about that. I think maybe maybe I should drop that 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:51.400 one from the description. Yeah, I think so, Yeah, that's it. Yes, okay, fine, 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.320 fair enough. Well the little Marco got I mean, pardon me, 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.960 Senator Rubio got his way. He is in fact Yese 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.360 now it's stuck in my head. He got his way. 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:06.760 They made the child tax credit higher. Um, it will 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:11.160 now instead of being eleven, he wanted two thousand from 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:16.000 one thousand, with even that refundable. I'm sorry, it already 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.480 did that. Rubio wanted the amount of refundability to be 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:24.040 fourteen hundred dollars, and looks like he got it. It 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.880 made some adjustments here and there, but more or less, 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:33.560 it is a done deal. Um. So there you go. 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:39.960 You have taxes. Uh, you have taxes. It's gonna be 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.839 better for the economy than what we have right now. 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.560 It's gonna be better for the economy than the current 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.840 tax regime. So it looks like I can't keep making 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.520 fun of Republicans for not getting anything done. It looks 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.840 to me like there will be something for them to 0:03:54.920 --> 0:04:01.440 celebrate going into the new year. So the biggest things 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.760 here though, really have to do with the corporate tax rate. 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:08.920 As you know, Uh, it ended up being dropped from 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:16.200 thirty five. Big multinationals are gonna be getting a special 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:20.640 one time tax on money that they repatriate from overseas, 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.760 which is a good thing. And yeah, there's some other 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.680 stuff they did for s corporations and partnerships. I mean, 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.520 now I sound like a tax guy, like I work 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.680 at you know, H and R Block are one of 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.640 those places. But and I don't otherwise I know more 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:39.039 about this stuff. But yeah, a lot of taxes going down. 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.360 It is a big tax. Rick Trump said that it 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.000 would be a Christmas present, right, there will be a 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:48.560 Christmas present for America. It looks like that is going 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.359 going to happen. Oh on Tyrone reminded me that there 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.520 are now seven brackets down from how many were there before. 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.479 I mean, as seven seems like a lot to me. 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:02.880 Ten twelve percent, twent two, thirty five, and thirty seven. 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:07.360 So there you have it. Um. Oh, and there's an 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.440 exemption on the state tax. So now it's more than 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:14.080 eleven million per person, So if you only if you're 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:19.800 more than eleven million dollars in terms of inheritance, does 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.760 the death tax apply. So there you go. So this 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:25.720 could be great. I Look, the economy is already in 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.880 a lot of ways doing very very well. Uh, the 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.640 economy is strong right now, and I think this will 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:37.200 make it stronger. Um. The only people that get, uh 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.320 kind of a rough end of the deal here are 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.000 those who live in high tax states who lose the 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.520 ability to fully deduct state and local taxes. They're gonna 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.120 be paying a little more in that, but a lot 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.599 of other folks are gonna be getting a getting less, 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.640 getting less in terms of taxation. So there you go. 0:05:55.440 --> 0:06:00.320 All right, Republicans, you got some stuff. You're man edged 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.400 to get something done. And uh, I have to stop 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:07.160 making fun of the Congress. Well, I were celebrating a 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.119 little early, and as a general rule, I hate celebrating early. 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.159 But at this point, I don't know how they could 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.800 backtrack on it. Speaking of backtracking, do we know yet 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.600 when frankin stepping down? Because I said he's got to 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.680 step down and you agree with me time. But it 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.599 was supposed to be January all along. It was always 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.119 gonna be January, okay, because people were calling me, you remember, 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.080 they were skeptical. I'm like, come on, he can't not 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:34.120 step down. But I I still I stamped with my 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.400 initial analysis, there's no way he can't step down. But 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.120 every time I see a report that he hasn't given 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.800 a date yet, I'm like, uh, maybe there's maybe that 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.680 would be a problem. So we'll see. Okay, other things 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.640 we're gonna get into this. I can't spend that much 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.760 more time talking about taxes. Just want to tell you guys, 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:54.719 uh corkers in. Rubio is in and they got fifty 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:56.680 two votes as of now in the Senate. It's going 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.919 to clearly pass in the House. Should happen Monday or Tuesday. 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:04.320 A Merry Christmas, everybody. Uncle Sam is gonna take less 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.920 of your private property away from you. That's that's what 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.880 we're celebrating here. Yea. I mean, I guess it's a 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.920 good thing. But there you have it. Well, we've got 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.960 some new stuff on the Russia investigation we'll talk about 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:23.440 this hour. Also the uh sexual harassment stories and the 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.640 the the political movement, and that's there's some new stuff 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.160 there that I want to talk to you about. I 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.320 think we might have finally started to see that this 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.640 is this is now becoming. We're gonna need to rain 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:37.920 this in a little bit. You know, there's a lot 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:39.720 a lot of bad people. There was a lot that 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.040 need to be cleared out right. The the sexual harassment 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.680 swamp had to be drained. I think a lot of it. 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:47.760 I think a lot of that's been done. And now, 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.320 at least in the very high profile cases, I know 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.320 sexual harassment is gonna be It's gonna be a problem forever. 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:53.800 By the way, I mean, this is not anything that 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.720 anyone's figured out how to stop. But now we're starting 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.920 to see cases that are a little more well, at 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:00.920 least people are saying one and they didn't do it. 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:02.920 So you gotta start with that, as opposed to a 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.480 lot of the other stuff we've seen the accuser saying no, 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.480 I didn't do it, and then also some of what's 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.840 being reported as a story that should go along with 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.760 all these others. Um I find myself as trying to 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.960 be a very honest and thoughtful, impartial observer of this. 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:22.480 I'm saying, I'm not sure this is this is this 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:24.640 is not in the same category. This doesn't go in 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:29.040 the same column as like the Weinstein spacey cosby all 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:33.640 that stuff doesn't go in the same same place. So 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.160 we'll get into a bit of that in the next 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.480 and ESPN has gotten dragged into this now, the very 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:43.000 public ESPN spat underway right now, so we'll talk. We'll 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.480 talk about that with Tyrone and and oh, I mean 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.600 it's Friday and it's the holiday season, so we're all 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.120 in a good mood, right, Let's do some action movie 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:54.160 quotes to hit it.

Maybe do some action movie quotes. 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.880 We're just gonna have a really fun but information dense show, 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:50.840 as we always do. Stay with me. So I am 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:54.160 here not only to congratulate you, but to honor you 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.520 for your courage and for your devotion. And I want 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:04.280 you to know that with me as your president, America's police, 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.000 we'll have a true friend and loyal champion in the 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:14.199 White House, more loyal than anyone else can be. I 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:18.400 tell you, President Trump was speaking at the FBI National 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:23.760 Academy graduation today, a lot of supportive and encouraging words 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:28.080 for America's police. Now that's not FBI agents in that room. 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.959 It is local police that are training at Quantico as 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:37.719 part of this academy. But President was, I was doing 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.679 this thing there. I got my favorite part, or my 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:44.080 favorite Trump stuff today was the impromptu press conference. We'll 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.400 get into that. Um he's got That's that's when Trump 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:49.760 is really at his at his best. I think the 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.240 Trump sweet spot is just talking for five minutes to 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.760 a whole group of reporters that think that they're gonna 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:57.720 have to get one, you know, get one up on him, 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.480 and He's just like, bring it. We got a bunch 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.240 of quotes though, let's do it. Tim in Ohio. W 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.959 h l oh, what's up? Tim? Hey? How's it going? Buck? Hey? 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.600 Before I get to my quote, I've got a question 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:15.679 for you. I was watching, uh, Patriot Games the other day, 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.120 which one. Oh I'm sorry Patrioch if not the Patriot Yeah, 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.719 the Harrison Ford movie. Yes, yeah, no, I don't do 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:27.200 NFL we're boycotting. But anyway, Yeah, so with Harrison Ford 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.560 and there's Buck the Anna Les's somewhere in that building 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.640 and uh, my question is that? And then of course 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.960 following with the Enemy of the State and so forth. 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.040 Uh was the technology that good back then? Really? What 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.880 they were showing us bits and pieces? Was it that good? 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.880 Or even better? Oh? You mean back in Patriot Games, 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:49.920 like when they saw the the feed of when they 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:54.679 go into the satellites and uh, you know, I don't know, man, 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.480 I mean I was alive in the eighties and I 0:11:56.600 --> 0:12:01.480 just kind of remember, like dost dis was like, yeah, okay, 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:03.240 maybe it was really ninties, but I remember, you know, 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.520 a CD then was like whoa, you know, it was 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.199 like Caveman discovering fire. When you had a CD in 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.400 your hand. So I doubt that all this stuff. I 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.480 can't remember everything that's in there, but I doubt that 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:18.960 it's it was an accurate depiction of what the technology 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:20.480 available was at the time. I mean, as you know 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.840 everything that My favorite thing in movies is whenever somebody 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:26.520 has to hack something, it looks like they're in the 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.120 matrix and there's all these big cool screens and they're 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.760 just like typing away furiously on a computer, and I'm like, 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.079 that's that's not what it That's actually not what it 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.560 looks like. That's they're like sitting there going through code 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.400 and it's really painstaking. And you know, it is not, 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.560 in fact the situation where you get to be like, uh, 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.760 you know, standing up and doing a dance routine and 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:50.040 you're hacking into the Pentagon. That's not how it works 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:54.080 from what I understand. Uh. I had my phone tap 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.360 back in the nineties by the f d I, and 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.319 I just wondered if it was that good. But that 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.959 was another story. Apparently that's another story. Is that is 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:07.280 that is that family safer? Can you can you tell 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.040 us that one family friendly or not? Oh? Sure? I 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.400 wrote a scathing editory about Bill Clinton selling out our 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.280 missile technology of the Chinese and getting all that loot 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:20.440 for it, and uh, next thing, you know, my phone 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.360 started making funny noises and my father, who worked for 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:27.440 a Bell telephone for thirty some years, said, one night, hey, 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:32.480 that sounds like an outside line, Pap. And I proceeded 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.160 telling the story and he said, he's dumb nut. They're 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.319 gonna watch you forever. So now when I go to 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.640 buy a gun, I gotta go through FBI checks, you know, 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.800 like the dealers they've never heard of such things. But 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:47.559 that's another story. Alright, Well, Merry Christmas, I'm sorry. You 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.160 gotta quote, you gotta quote, go ahead, go ahead, Okay. 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.760 The other night, for the couple dozens time, I know 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:59.480 you know this one. Well she I've been a one 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:03.800 little keep me in the rodeo And that's the stupidest 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:08.360 thing I ever heard of. I have no idea what 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:18.280 that mome on. Oh, that's Slim, that's Slim. Picking two. 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:23.480 I still don't even know we're talking about Dr Strangelove. 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.720 Never see Is that an action movie? No, that's not 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:30.040 an action movie. Jam Mary Christmas, and we love you buddy, 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.360 but that's not an action movie.

I feel 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:46.800 like the dude in The Big Lebowski and he's like, 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.600 this is not It wasn't a dude. It was Walter 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.280 Walter who's like, this is not nom dude. There are rules, right, 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:56.720 that's there are rules here, folks. There are rules. John 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:01.440 in Georgia, Good to have you, sir, Hey Atlanta Podcast, 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:05.280 Minion checking in. Oh nice, thank you? Yeah baby. Um. 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.400 By the way, before I get into my movie quote, 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.760 so last caller brought up Patriot Games and you talked 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.920 about that scene with the feed, which is just absolutely awesome. 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:18.560 And uh, James Earl Jones goes as got any one 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.400 of those camps, kill everyone and be gone before the bullets, 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:25.200 before the echoes fade. No, that's a good scene. James 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:31.520 Earl Jones was great as the well, he was an admiral, right, yeah, yeah, 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:36.400 he's the admiral and Admiral Greer I think was his name. Yeah, 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:40.240 I believe so did you ever read a Debt of Honor? Oh? Yeah, 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.440 I did about about Mr Clark and how he's got 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:47.000 the the lady that he saves from like the human 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.480 trafficking prostitution ring. I was very young when I read that. 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.600 I was like, what is this? Do you remember how? Oh? No, no, 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:54.440 that's not Debt of Honor. I'm sorry. I'm thinking of 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.920 a different Clancy novel which was a Debt of Honor. 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:00.600 Is the one where he drives a into the White 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:02.880 House in the joint session of Congress at the end, 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.080 right with the Japanese. Yeah, I was on a different way. 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.480 What's interesting about that is that Debt of Honor came 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.400 out in like nineties three oh yeah, before I know, 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.480 before planes were being weaponized. That it happened. Then people 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:16.680 were like, who could have ever thought this could happen? 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:21.160 I immediately was like, Tom Clancy, this could happen apparently, 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:23.840 you know, yeah, I know, he wrote all about it. Yeah. 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.080 For those who don't know Debt of Honor, it's a 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:30.040 joint it's well, it's a movie where the Japanese essentially 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.600 orchestrate a way to retake their laws, some of their 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:37.040 lost territories from what they initially token and World War 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:41.480 two and including Guam, and then they basically said, look, 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:43.320 we took this stuff, we don't want to fight anymore. 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:46.840 We've got nukes now. But this other guy, well, I 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:48.320 guess we've already kind of spoil it. But they end 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.600 up running a plane into a joint session of Congress 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.920 and just basically taken out the entire US government. So yeah, 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:55.880 and there's a there's a part in the book where 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.320 CNN is actually helping the U. S military and they go, well, 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.960 we're in a mary can broadcast company, so we want 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.440 to help the American military. Can you imagine that ever 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:08.359 happening in the universe we live in, um but that 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.359 CNN would take sides and try to help our military. No. 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:13.920 In fact, I I worry sometimes, and thank you for 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.600 calling in, John Shields Hide podcast listener, I worry sometimes 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:19.880 that the meat I mean, I think the media does 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:25.359 actually take the side of not our country. Sometimes the 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.920 media decides that they will do things that they should 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:33.240 not and that are harmful, harmful to us so not 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.760 never mind, do they not necessarily help out the United 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:39.879 States government. I think they actually sometimes are willing to 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.080 hurt the United States government. And now I'm trying to 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.600 find the Tom Clancy novel that I was thinking of 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.960 where Mr Clark is I remember I read in like 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.800 the fifth grade. I just picked it up somewhere and 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:53.800 now I can't find it. The Debt of Honor is 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:55.760 a great one though, that's one of his most famous ones. 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:58.160 Highly recommend. This is actually good for me to start 0:17:58.200 --> 0:17:59.879 thinking about this because as I'm going to be on 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:05.399 vacation after the Christmas break, uh, there will be a 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.879 good opportunity to finally read some books that are just like, 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:11.880 read some novels for fun, something I don't usually something 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:16.280 I don't usually get an opportunity to do. So there 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:21.000 is that um alright eight four four n eight to 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:24.920 five eight four four nine buck. By the way you 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:29.080 go through Tom Clancy's novelist, it's insane that guy wrote 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:34.720 so much and did it's it's incredible anyway. Alright, alright, 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.680 eight four four to five, calling with your action movie quotes. 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:41.159 We're gonna talking about their latest on Russia, FBI collusion stuff. 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:44.840 It's incredible. FBI has got big problems. There is rot 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:49.520 that goes deep at the d o J. We'll talk 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:52.280 about the latest on that and now, as if it 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:54.960 wasn't clear enough, this is all just a partisan exercise 0:18:55.000 --> 0:19:00.960 and nonsense. Got the Democrats are piling on Rosenstein. You know, 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:04.800 it's just they just shift with the with the news cycle, 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:06.800 you know, whatever is useful to them on one day, 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:09.760 and then the next it's not no principles, no scruples, 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:12.879 what you gain. This is the party of the Party 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:18.640 of Pelosi and Schumer and others. I just realized John, 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:20.800 John want John had an action movie quote from me. Well, 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:21.879 we'll let him do it on the other side of 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:25.200 the break, and then we'll talk about this Russia collusion nonsense. 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.760 I will be back with much more. Stay with me, 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:31.399 all right, it's action movie quote Friday. We're in freestyle mode, 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:33.240 so there are things I want to talk to you about. 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:35.960 But we also have every line lit. So let's get 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:37.520 into a couple of calls here, and then I'll tell 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:41.440 you about how the Russia investigation here, here's the here's 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:43.480 the teasers. You gotta wait with me through the calls, 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:45.720 and then we'll get to this. The Russia investigations just 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.720 fallen apart. It may continue on, but this thing is 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:51.680 now a sham. I mean, I thought it was nonsense 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:55.000 all long, and now we have proof. We have proof this. 0:19:55.119 --> 0:20:00.520 It's just the the shrill, delusional pro Hillary trying to 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:04.520 find some way to justify their hatred for Trump, their 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.800 whole not my President thing, which started even before this investigation. 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:12.200 They're looking for some way to intellectually excuse being such 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:16.160 a bunch of babies. All right, John from Georgia. Sorry, 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.000 we didn't let you get to your quote. I cut 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:19.920 you out before. So what is the quote you got 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:22.600 for me for action movie quote? Friday? Hi Buck, long 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:26.320 time to speak. Yeah, hey we miss you, buddy. Yeah. Thanks, 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:31.119 my friends, Okay, you ready? All right? If you have 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:34.520 any influence over your young friend, I suggest you exert 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.200 it now. Otherwise I'll send you both to the hell 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.680 where people are skinned alive. That's that simple. Oh dude, 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:44.680 big trouble, little China. Thank you. I knew you'd get it. 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:46.960 Thank you. Well, of course, I mean that's that. That's 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.520 there's a quote from that in our action movie quote 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:52.320 Friday intro. But you know they were thinking about making 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:55.360 that remaking that movie, and then they bailed and then 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:57.720 because yeah, because I don't think you could make it anymore. 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.280 I think that movie would have would offend people today 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:02.159 if you made it today, which is drive a lot 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:05.640 of movies. By the way, thank you John for calling 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:08.280 him man. I appreciate you being patient. Hold Tyrone, could 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:13.160 you make Mrs doubtfire today? I say no, on numerous levels. 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.679 I don't think you could have a man dressing up 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:17.600 that way. I mean that's one of I think it's 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:20.639 Robin Williams. I mean it's up there with certainly his 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:24.159 like top five most financially successful. It might be number one. 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:26.600 It was a big box. He's number one. At one 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:30.200 time it was top three grossing, highest grossing comedies in 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:32.680 the history of Hollywood. Yeah. I don't think you could 0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:36.280 do a man dressed up as a woman like that anymore. 0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:37.800 And I also don't think even a lot of he 0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:40.359 does a lot of different accents of different ethnicities and 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:44.800 stuff over the court. Nope, no way, no no way. 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:47.000 I just like on on the TV side, you could 0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:51.159 not do All in the Family today, no way. The 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:52.920 seventies you can get, you could not do All in 0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:55.879 the Family Archie Bunker to Jefferson's. You could not do 0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:57.840 that anything. I got one that's even more, you could 0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:00.160 not well not even more. But but also up there 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.560 with uh, the not being able to Missus Doltfire and 0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:05.760 it will say the parodies of Mrs Doubtfire where they 0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:08.600 make it a horror movie on YouTube is actually pretty funny. 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:10.520 If you haven't seen that, I would recommend you check 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:14.960 that out. But there's something about Mary. No way you 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:18.080 could make that movie now, no way. I actually like, 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:19.919 I wonder when it comes on I'm like, do they 0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:25.360 get complaints about this because it's it's it's uh, there's 0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:27.840 some not just raunchy stuff. There's some like edgy stuff 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:31.560 in there. And that's the most current. That's late nineties, 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:34.160 isn't it. Yeah, but we think it was twenty years ago. 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:37.000 Now it's a twenty year isn't that crazy thing? I 0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:39.600 hold where it's a twenty year old movie. But that 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:42.000 movie there's stuff in there that I'm like, oh no, 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:45.320 that would not that would not any of your Look 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:46.920 if you haven't seen it, or you did see it, 0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:48.719 go back and watch it again. You'll be like, oh 0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:52.640 my gosh, what is acceptable in this country has changed 0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:57.560 a lot? Uh? Kelly from Mississippi, Welcome to Freedom Hunt 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:02.359 The Evening, Merry Christmas, good evening, A merry Christmas to you. 0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:06.679 I don't have an action movie quote, but I believe 0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:10.440 the Tom Clancy novel that you're thinking of is Without Remorse. 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:15.520 You are correct, sir, that is the movie. I mean, 0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:16.960 that is the book that I was thinking of. It 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:20.360 came out in ninety three, so I was like thirteen 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:23.080 or twelve when I read that. I was younger. I 0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:25.520 read that there's some stuff in that book. I was like, whoa, 0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:29.280 it's a it's a great novel, is it. It's a 0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:31.320 very well it's very well done. I mean, look, Tom 0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:33.920 Clancy was was the master of that genre. I don't 0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:37.560 think anybody else has ever reached quite the same. You know. 0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:41.600 He is the uh, the Michael Jordans, the the undisputed 0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:46.080 king of the espionage international affairs thriller at least I 0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:49.160 think so, oh yes, it'd be one that I would 0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:51.720 love to see a movie of. Oh yeah, actually they 0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:53.719 never made a movie of that one. Anyway, Kelly, thank 0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:56.440 you very much, my Merry Christmas. Appreciate the the assist, 0:23:56.520 --> 0:23:59.680 and you were correct. It was Without Remorse, which was 0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:02.760 one of the first Tom Clancy novels I've ever read. Actually, 0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:06.520 I think it might have been the first, uh John 0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:12.560 in Tennessee. Yes, John, Welcome the Hut. Hello Buck, thank 0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:14.760 you for inviting me to the Freedom Hunt. Thank you 0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:18.840 for calling. Great to have you. I got a quote 0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:21.720 for you. It's an oldie, but goody. I think me 0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:24.040 and you were raised around the same time, watching the 0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:27.680 same movie. So here it goes. What are you some 0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:32.200 kind of special forces guy or something? No, just a cook, 0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:36.960 just a lowly, lowly cook under siege. Oh my god, 0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:43.480 we're gonna die. Absolutely Stephen Steven's finest work. When I 0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:45.920 was in New Orleans, I actually drove past a house 0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:48.000 that he rented for a while and was living in 0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:53.000 while he did the show Lawman. Side note, which was 0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:56.840 in Jefferson, Jefferson coun Jefferson Parish or whatever it's called. Uh. 0:24:57.040 --> 0:25:00.960 Side note, The show that came to be called Justified 0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:05.560 was initially initially written to be called law Man, but 0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:09.639 because uh Steven Seagal's show launched first, they changed the 0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:13.000 name of the other show from law Man to Justify, 0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:18.040 which actually people like Justified. Got one more for you? 0:25:18.320 --> 0:25:21.679 Oh you want? I mean it is Christmas, so I'm 0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:26.520 in a generous mood. Go ahead. Welcome to the party, pal. 0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:30.000 Oh yeah, of course, Bruce willis Dieheart. But but I 0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:33.080 like at least we're staying in the action genre. John, Hey, buddy, 0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:34.920 have a great I have a great Christmas within your family. 0:25:34.960 --> 0:25:36.480 Thanks for joining us here in the Hot keep list 0:25:36.480 --> 0:25:38.159 in the next week. Will be on air until Friday. 0:25:38.400 --> 0:25:45.560 She'll tie you, buddy. Uh. Chris in California, welcome, hey, 0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:49.639 Buck Shield time. Merry Christmas time, Merry Christmas to you. Okay, 0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:51.879 a couple of things. First action movie quote for you. 0:25:52.119 --> 0:25:55.359 All right, let's do it here we do. Hey, you 0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:57.919 want to be a farmer, Here's a couple of acres 0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:06.200 and hit the buzzer. I don't know. It's actually a 0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:09.080 little funny. It's a Last Action Hero right before it 0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:13.200 kicked somebody in the junk. I have seen Last Action Hero. 0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:16.720 That does count as an action movie, clearly. I'm not 0:26:16.880 --> 0:26:20.480 sure that is the most uh timeless line from what 0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:24.080 was Remember that that movie was trashed by their critics. 0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:26.520 I didn't think it was that bad. I mean, it's 0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:30.800 a little hokey, and oh it came out at the 0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:34.920 same time as Jurassic Park, so it got annihilated. Then 0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:36.679 I didn't it's the same weekend. Yeah, I went up 0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:40.119 against Jurassic Park. That was not smart. Um, But oh 0:26:40.200 --> 0:26:42.520 you got something on corporate tax rates as well, Chris, 0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:46.200 let's talk some policy. Let's do. I was just curious 0:26:46.280 --> 0:26:48.200 and I've been listening to you for a number of 0:26:48.320 --> 0:26:51.520 years now, and it's always been a big proponent of 0:26:51.600 --> 0:26:53.879 text cuts. But it seems like you're pretty held up 0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:57.520 with this corporate tax rate cut. Maybe that's only in 0:26:57.600 --> 0:27:01.000 contrast to the individual income tax rax, but it just 0:27:01.040 --> 0:27:02.520 seems to be harping on it quite a bit, like 0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:04.720 why are we focusing so much attention on lowering the 0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:08.119 corporate tax rate? Well, yeah, thing, it's a good thing 0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:11.040 for everybody. I'm not sure what your hang up is. Well, 0:27:11.080 --> 0:27:14.520 my my hang up has been that they keep talking 0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:17.480 about So here's the thing. They're selling it as a 0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:20.359 middle class tax cut, but it is not actually a 0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.120 middle class meaning that they're selling this whole tax cut 0:27:23.200 --> 0:27:26.159 as a general proposition. You go back, you listen to 0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:28.320 what they've been saying, Oh, the middle class needs help, 0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:30.639 the middle class needs help. We're gonna cut the corporate 0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:34.040 tax rate. Now. I understand that there will be benefits 0:27:34.119 --> 0:27:37.520 for middle class working families that come from the corporate rate, 0:27:37.960 --> 0:27:41.639 but it's just to me from a purely political angle, 0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:44.600 never mind the economics for a second. I think it 0:27:44.720 --> 0:27:49.640 sends a weird message when the overall focus and you're 0:27:49.720 --> 0:27:52.480 saying that when the overall focus is supposed to be 0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:55.080 on middle class families, you're saying, at some middle class families, 0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:56.920 but it is actually on the corporate tax rate. You 0:27:56.960 --> 0:27:59.440 see what I'm saying. There's a disconnect there, and it 0:27:59.520 --> 0:28:03.119 also makes me a little bit. I just I'm on guard. 0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:06.520 I have been on guard for the reality of the 0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:09.639 donor class, which is very still has a lot of leverage, 0:28:09.760 --> 0:28:12.760 very important and powerful in the Republican Party, and how 0:28:12.920 --> 0:28:15.520 they're kind of getting you know, people say, oh, it 0:28:15.600 --> 0:28:18.840 helps everybody, and corporations don't pay taxes people to write. 0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:21.440 Trust me, a lot of very big, wealthy corporations want 0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:23.480 to corporate tax cut and they're going to feel the 0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:26.159 effects of that long before people who were showing up 0:28:26.200 --> 0:28:29.280 and making uh, you know, an an hourly wage at 0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:31.399 a at a you know, the local general store. So 0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:34.040 we need to stay with in reality here. There's only 0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:37.280 so much quoting of Reagan and Reagan's economic advisors we 0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:40.120 can do before it's a problem. I think from the 0:28:40.640 --> 0:28:43.360 optics of how the tax. But look, I think it's good. 0:28:43.480 --> 0:28:45.040 I've just been saying I don't think it's as good 0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:48.160 as it well, because I remember when I said this yesterday, Chris. 0:28:48.560 --> 0:28:52.560 We were told flat tax, we were told tax on 0:28:52.680 --> 0:28:54.920 one page. We have the House, we have the Senate, 0:28:54.960 --> 0:28:57.840 we have the presidency. Why can't we do that. This 0:28:58.000 --> 0:28:59.640 is not what we were promised, right, we can at 0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:03.800 least do on that. I'm sorry because I don't recall 0:29:03.960 --> 0:29:06.479 Donald Trump specifically stating that he was going to get 0:29:06.520 --> 0:29:08.800 into OPS into a flat tax. I recall him saying 0:29:08.800 --> 0:29:10.680 he was going to get into aftin reduced tax rates 0:29:10.720 --> 0:29:14.440 for everybody, including the corporate tax rate. But you made 0:29:14.480 --> 0:29:16.800 a point that I think is extremely worth looking at, 0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:18.800 and that is the politics of the optics of it. 0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:22.200 That is the only reason liberals ever when anything is 0:29:22.240 --> 0:29:25.760 because the optics of it. Being conservative is hard. It's 0:29:25.800 --> 0:29:28.600 easy to be a liberal. Yeah, always going to be. 0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:31.360 But that's but optics. But optics do matter, right, And 0:29:31.440 --> 0:29:34.720 so when you the average American who is who is 0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:38.320 a persuadable voter, sees Republican members of Congress going on 0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:40.640 TV saying we're gonna we're gonna help the middle class 0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:43.280 with their tax cuts, and yeah, they're they're doing a 0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:45.840 little bit here and there, the child tax credit, which 0:29:45.880 --> 0:29:48.280 is really actually the way they've structured it, it's kind 0:29:48.320 --> 0:29:52.240 of like the people aren't paying any taxes, so it's 0:29:52.240 --> 0:29:55.920 not a welfare payment, but it is redistributive. It is 0:29:55.960 --> 0:29:57.880 just the government sending you a check now because you're 0:29:57.880 --> 0:29:59.840 not paying any income tax. You're just getting a check 0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:03.240 the government. But people that are, you know, if you 0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:05.000 were paying, I mean I saw what the brackets were 0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:08.080 a second ago in this this latest version of the bill. 0:30:08.680 --> 0:30:13.160 You know, if you're paying right now or you're not 0:30:13.240 --> 0:30:15.960 really paying a lot less. And in fact, some people 0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:17.400 that own at homes will be paying more, and those 0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:20.680 are middle class working families. So when they see Republicans saying, oh, 0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:22.440 we're helping the middle class, but we're gonna cut the 0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:25.960 corporate tax rate dramatically, by the way, and oh, we're 0:30:25.960 --> 0:30:30.160 gonna shift around some deductions that individuals take in order 0:30:30.240 --> 0:30:32.120 to make it budget neutral so we can get it 0:30:32.200 --> 0:30:35.640 through without it having to go through sixty vote process, 0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:39.560 right because they only need fifty through reconciliation. So it 0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:42.360 doesn't look good and not looking good. You could say, oh, 0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:45.040 it doesn't matter because growth, growth, growth, will their Democrats 0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:46.880 win the House or the Senate next year. Guess what, 0:30:47.000 --> 0:30:49.440 it matters a lot because now you're never getting those 0:30:49.480 --> 0:30:51.440 great tax cuts for the middle class, or the flat 0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:53.600 tax or anything else you said you want. So that's 0:30:53.600 --> 0:30:55.960 why you have to get that's you have to get 0:30:55.960 --> 0:30:58.920 through what you can when you can. Though, if we 0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:03.360 simply don't do anything because politically it might hurt us, 0:31:03.680 --> 0:31:06.160 well that's everything. And we come out and we say 0:31:06.160 --> 0:31:08.400 we're gonna put forward this tax bill, and the let's 0:31:08.400 --> 0:31:10.800 says it's literally the end of the world. I believe 0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:12.680 that's a Nanci Pelosi clust you know, I know well 0:31:12.720 --> 0:31:14.200 she would say that about I mean, they could cut 0:31:14.240 --> 0:31:16.360 the corporate rate from thirty five to thirty four, and 0:31:16.440 --> 0:31:17.720 she would say that it was the end of the world. 0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:19.239 I mean, so we could I think we can all 0:31:19.280 --> 0:31:22.560 safely agree to ignore Nancy Pelosi. And look, I've never 0:31:22.680 --> 0:31:25.560 I mean Chris to Chris, to be fair, I've never 0:31:25.680 --> 0:31:29.520 said this is a fisty discussion about taxes. I've never 0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:31.560 said I don't want the tax cutter. I've just said 0:31:31.560 --> 0:31:34.000 I feel like it could be better. It could be 0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:36.240 better politically for sure, and I also think it could 0:31:36.240 --> 0:31:39.280 be better on an individual rate because they could cut spending. Chris, 0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:42.360 That's the reality here, is that they won't touch spending, 0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:45.800 which is why they create the artificial constraint of we 0:31:45.920 --> 0:31:49.560 have to spend this money automatically. We're the Congress. We 0:31:49.680 --> 0:31:52.440 have to spend this money automatically. So we're only operating 0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:55.240 in this little subset of spending and we're gonna shift 0:31:55.280 --> 0:31:57.360 it around that way and give you a tax cut there. 0:31:57.760 --> 0:31:59.880 But the reality is that most of the money is 0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:03.560 on autopilot, and that's why we have all these budgetary constraints, right, 0:32:03.600 --> 0:32:06.000 So they can't Are they going to get sixty votes 0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:09.160 to cut spending. If they're not going to get sixty 0:32:09.200 --> 0:32:11.800 votes to cut spending, then they can't cut the spending. 0:32:11.840 --> 0:32:13.959 They have to work within the cost. You need sixty 0:32:14.080 --> 0:32:17.040 votes to raise spending. You do not need sixty votes 0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:20.560 to cut spending. That's what I'm saying to you, that 0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:22.840 they will not cut They will not. They're not dealing 0:32:22.920 --> 0:32:24.560 with the other side of the balloon here. We're just 0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:26.360 squeezing one side of the bloom. We're not talking about 0:32:26.360 --> 0:32:28.280 the other side. Of the bloom, which is spending. We're 0:32:28.320 --> 0:32:31.120 spending too much money, Chris as a country, so telling 0:32:31.240 --> 0:32:32.840 us all how great this tax cut is is all 0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:34.920 well and good, but at some point the music is 0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:38.160 gonna stop. We are heading towards that, and in the meantime, 0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:41.280 corporations get their cut. I mean, we'll see. Look, I 0:32:41.320 --> 0:32:43.200 would love to, you know, call me back in well, 0:32:43.280 --> 0:32:44.920 call any time you're welcome, but call me back in 0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:46.960 like a year and tell me has this is this 0:32:47.120 --> 0:32:48.800 better for you? Or do you feel like you're getting 0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:50.640 Are your wages going up? Or I don't know where 0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:52.640 you work or what you do, but I think a 0:32:52.680 --> 0:32:56.000 lot of Chris. No, I actually I would love to 0:32:56.040 --> 0:32:58.560 continue with that, but we have literally seven phone calls 0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:00.160 or seven lines that are all going at on. So 0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:04.000 I gotta I gotta move on. And in Virginia, welcome. 0:33:05.840 --> 0:33:12.160 Good evening, Mr Sexton, Good evening, Miss Anne Um. Blazing Saddles, 0:33:12.320 --> 0:33:16.280 try making that again. I don't remember what, Tyrone. What 0:33:16.400 --> 0:33:19.479 are you saying about this one, Blazing Saddles? You were 0:33:19.520 --> 0:33:21.840 talking about movie? Oh yeah, no, I know, but ty 0:33:22.000 --> 0:33:23.920 Tye wants to win. I don't remember that movie very well. 0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:27.760 It's very good it's there's a lot of racist things, 0:33:27.880 --> 0:33:30.160 but because the black person wins in the end, I 0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:32.400 think they allow it to happen. Okay, I don't remember 0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:33.480 the movie at all. I saw it. I was like, 0:33:37.160 --> 0:33:39.120 I think they let him say it as long as 0:33:39.160 --> 0:33:42.880 the black guy's gonna win. Tyre Tyrone is later on 0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:45.960 this one and I you're you're kind of weight on hold. 0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:47.479 I'm sorry. We have to go into a break here 0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:49.280 else we're gonna blow through our station break and we 0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:51.440 can't do that. Run into a break. We'll be right back. 0:33:51.480 --> 0:33:54.120 We've got more. Having talked about Russia collusion FBI, we 0:33:54.280 --> 0:33:56.040 will do that. Stay with me. Look, one of the 0:33:56.080 --> 0:33:58.600 great things that Trump accomplished his first year, as we know, 0:33:59.080 --> 0:34:02.400 is appointing Neil Gorst to the Supreme Court. And he's 0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:08.239 got a lot of other excellent constitutionalists and conservative uh 0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:12.080 conservative minds that are up on the bench now and 0:34:12.280 --> 0:34:15.200 and in process of putting more. But I should note that, Look, 0:34:15.239 --> 0:34:17.040 we're having a little fun. It's a Friday, all right. 0:34:17.080 --> 0:34:18.520 We're trying to lose them up for the holidays a 0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:22.160 little bit. One of Trump's nominees to the Circuit Court, 0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:23.759 this would be the U. S. District Court for the 0:34:23.840 --> 0:34:28.160 District of Columbia. He did not have the best day ever. 0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:32.520 He did not have a stellar performance when asked by 0:34:33.200 --> 0:34:37.000 a Republican. Remember as the Republican asking the questions on 0:34:37.040 --> 0:34:40.439 the Judiciary Committee, and the Republican is trying to figure out, 0:34:40.640 --> 0:34:45.400 you know, uh, Senator John Kennedy is trying to figure out, Okay, 0:34:45.520 --> 0:34:50.120 does this guy Peterson does he know the stuff you'd 0:34:50.160 --> 0:34:51.840 want somebody to know if they're going to be a 0:34:51.920 --> 0:34:57.239 federal judge, which is a thing that matters. And this 0:34:57.400 --> 0:35:00.040 went viral today, so I'll let you listen to it. 0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:03.400 It's enjoy. You can just raise your hand on this 0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:06.400 one if you will, to save a little time. Have 0:35:06.640 --> 0:35:11.480 any of you not tried a case to verdict? Here 0:35:11.880 --> 0:35:15.879 was the only one of I think five that UM 0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:24.000 jury trial. I have not civil, no criminal, no bitch. 0:35:25.480 --> 0:35:28.719 I'll stay at our federal court. I have not Have 0:35:28.840 --> 0:35:32.560 you ever taken a deposition? I was involved in taking 0:35:32.600 --> 0:35:35.800 depositions when I was associate at Wiley Ryan when I 0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:39.719 first came out of law school. Um, but that that 0:35:39.960 --> 0:35:43.399 was do you ever have how many? How many depositions? 0:35:44.920 --> 0:35:50.280 I would um, I'd be struggling to to remember messing 0:35:50.360 --> 0:35:58.279 ten probably somewhere you ever tried to take a deposition 0:35:58.360 --> 0:36:05.080 by yourself? I believe. No. Have you ever argued emotion 0:36:05.200 --> 0:36:09.480 in state court? I have not. Have you ever argued 0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:16.680 emotion in federal court? No? Uh, when's the last time 0:36:16.760 --> 0:36:22.280 you read the Federal rules of civil procedure? The Federal 0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:27.960 Rules of Civil procedure? Um? I have in my current position, 0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:34.839 I obviously don't need to stay as um um. By 0:36:34.880 --> 0:36:37.880 the way, he hadn't answer more specific and pointed legal questions, 0:36:37.960 --> 0:36:41.600 to which the answers were No, I don't know. I 0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:43.400 don't have it for you right now. I mean, it 0:36:43.560 --> 0:36:46.319 was a pretty brutal session there. I mean, this would 0:36:46.360 --> 0:36:49.920 be the equivalent of me, I'm just gonna say, me 0:36:50.040 --> 0:36:53.440 sitting there up for some post at NASA and they're like, so, 0:36:53.560 --> 0:36:57.560 what are your credentials? Like, well, I I got like 0:36:57.640 --> 0:37:03.719 a C minus in trigonometry and yeah. This guy was 0:37:03.840 --> 0:37:08.359 not blowing anyone's socks off with his answers to these 0:37:08.440 --> 0:37:11.120 legal questions, and it just went viral today. It was 0:37:11.200 --> 0:37:13.040 kind of funny, have you ever tried a case in court? No? 0:37:13.640 --> 0:37:15.279 Have you've done this? No? Have you done that? No, 0:37:16.160 --> 0:37:18.279 this guy's gonna be a federal judge. Everybody. I look, 0:37:18.480 --> 0:37:20.400 you know, they can't all be winners. They can't all 0:37:20.440 --> 0:37:24.920 be gorcerches. So this one was not. But it'll all 0:37:24.960 --> 0:37:28.920 be okay. Russia, Russia, Russia got that coming up. FBI 0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:33.280 is well, it was in Hillary's pocket. We'll talk about it. Stay, women, 0:37:33.480 --> 0:37:35.960 I'm gonna rebuild the FBI. It'll be bigger and better 0:37:36.040 --> 0:37:38.080 than ever. But it is very sad when you look 0:37:38.120 --> 0:37:41.959 at those documents and how they've done that is really 0:37:42.080 --> 0:37:44.680 really disgraceful, and you have a lot of very angry 0:37:44.760 --> 0:37:47.440 people that are seeing it. It's a very sad thing 0:37:47.520 --> 0:37:50.080 to watch. I will tell you that. And I'm going 0:37:50.200 --> 0:37:54.320 today on behalf of the FBI their new building. And 0:37:54.560 --> 0:37:57.279 you know, but when I when everybody, not me, when 0:37:57.360 --> 0:38:00.600 everybody the level of anger as I safe and with 0:38:00.880 --> 0:38:03.799 this thing with respect to the FBI is certainly very sad. 0:38:05.160 --> 0:38:08.160 Trump calling out the FBI, at least the part of 0:38:08.200 --> 0:38:11.400 the FBI that has been involved, those individuals at the 0:38:11.520 --> 0:38:17.200 bureau who have had a hand in the Russia collusion investigation, 0:38:17.360 --> 0:38:21.600 the Muller probe and all of that stuff. It was 0:38:21.680 --> 0:38:25.200 a very bad week for the Muller probe for anybody 0:38:25.239 --> 0:38:28.279 who is being honest about what's out there and what 0:38:28.400 --> 0:38:33.000 we found out, And increasingly I think it's going to 0:38:33.120 --> 0:38:38.319 be difficult for the left to continue this unless they 0:38:38.440 --> 0:38:42.200 have some real new information they can bring to light. 0:38:42.239 --> 0:38:45.359 And I don't believe they do or because if they did, 0:38:45.440 --> 0:38:48.239 we already know. But I also wanted to say that 0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:54.880 it isn't it interesting This entire Russia Trump collusion narrative 0:38:55.800 --> 0:39:00.120 is based on and people in the press remember as 0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:04.680 a government and many Americans believe it to be true. 0:39:04.920 --> 0:39:06.839 Hasn't yet been proven, but they believe it to be true. 0:39:07.280 --> 0:39:11.400 It would require an international conspiracy to throw an election 0:39:11.560 --> 0:39:18.399 involving Russian secret intelligence and cyber hacking, and somehow they've 0:39:18.520 --> 0:39:22.800 kept the conspiracy quiet up to this point. They'll believe that, 0:39:24.080 --> 0:39:27.279 but they don't believe. They won't believe it is a 0:39:27.360 --> 0:39:34.680 conspiracy that is completely beyond the pale. When you say, well, 0:39:34.719 --> 0:39:38.719 hold on a second, maybe some pro Hillary d o 0:39:38.920 --> 0:39:45.880 J and FBI officials saw an opening to investigate the 0:39:45.920 --> 0:39:49.120 Trump campaign and to create problems with the Trump campaign, 0:39:49.880 --> 0:39:52.400 and they went where they went for it, and they 0:39:52.440 --> 0:39:53.920 had the power to do it, and they did it. 0:39:55.880 --> 0:39:59.839 Why is that crazy? What about that doesn't add up? 0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:01.719 You know, you think about this. You look at people 0:40:01.719 --> 0:40:03.520 that look at you if you bring this up with them, 0:40:03.600 --> 0:40:06.240 like you're crazy because you don't believe that the Kremlin 0:40:06.360 --> 0:40:10.239 was working with Trump to beat Hillary, which even if 0:40:10.360 --> 0:40:12.800 Trump wanted to do that, how that would work is 0:40:13.680 --> 0:40:16.600 think about the risk reward there too. All right, we're 0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:19.360 going back to basics here. Trump is going to collude 0:40:19.400 --> 0:40:23.120 with Russia to throw an election that a multibillion dollar 0:40:23.320 --> 0:40:27.080 US media complex can't figure out how to, you know, 0:40:27.280 --> 0:40:29.840 make it go one way or the other. Come on, 0:40:30.719 --> 0:40:33.439 it just doesn't make any sense. But what we're seeing 0:40:33.480 --> 0:40:38.520 now with Strock and Lisa Page and McCabe and all 0:40:38.600 --> 0:40:42.160 these other senior d o J officials and FBI officials 0:40:42.680 --> 0:40:44.560 and that stuff right at FBI is within the d 0:40:44.640 --> 0:40:47.319 o J, so it can kind of use them somewhat interchangeably, 0:40:48.480 --> 0:40:52.200 is that there were people who hated Trump, I mean 0:40:52.320 --> 0:40:56.040 really hated him. And the Democrats are scrambling right now 0:40:56.160 --> 0:40:58.880 for a way to explain this to fair minded Americans, 0:40:58.960 --> 0:41:00.840 you know, right, people that are looking at this and 0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:04.840 saying themselves, a hold on a second, we're supposed to 0:41:04.920 --> 0:41:07.160 believe that this just all happened that this is some 0:41:07.239 --> 0:41:12.880 big coincidence that you had the person who was exonerating Hillary, 0:41:12.920 --> 0:41:15.680 and as we know now, they just bailed Hillary out. Okay, 0:41:15.760 --> 0:41:18.840 Hillary broke the law. Hillary is a federal There should 0:41:18.880 --> 0:41:24.880 be a federal convict should be legitimately, that's not an overstatement. 0:41:24.960 --> 0:41:27.400 That's now what she have gone to prison. She probably 0:41:27.440 --> 0:41:29.400 would have taken a plea deal and you know what 0:41:29.520 --> 0:41:31.680 it would have been. They would have let it scale 0:41:31.719 --> 0:41:35.279 down to a misdemeanor, I would guess. But anybody who's 0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:37.040 not Hillary Clinton to do what she did would be 0:41:37.239 --> 0:41:39.839 facing charges of some kind full stop. Okay, And that's 0:41:39.880 --> 0:41:47.680 just any discussion otherwise is is nonsense. So they bailed 0:41:47.719 --> 0:41:51.080 Hillary out, and somebody who was at the helm, all right, 0:41:51.080 --> 0:41:55.760 who's basically driving the car to bail out Hillary, also 0:41:56.280 --> 0:42:00.560 was involved in the Mueller probe and also talked about 0:42:00.600 --> 0:42:04.759 an insurance policy in case Trump one. That's a weird 0:42:04.800 --> 0:42:07.080 thing to say, right, weird thing to say if you're 0:42:07.120 --> 0:42:12.200 in the acting FBI director's office for sure, right, very 0:42:12.320 --> 0:42:14.000 very strange. And as I've been saying, do you have 0:42:14.160 --> 0:42:16.120 to remember the full context here? These are people who 0:42:16.160 --> 0:42:19.000 thought they'd be working for Hillary. They all want to 0:42:19.040 --> 0:42:21.600 get millions of dollars for their memoirs, probably after after 0:42:21.640 --> 0:42:25.839 the Hillary administration is done. They they had a very 0:42:26.160 --> 0:42:33.000 clear motive for trying to help Hillary and then even 0:42:33.080 --> 0:42:37.560 to perhaps undo the Trump presidency afterwards, at least for 0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:42.040 spite for vengeance, if not for some personal gain. And 0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:45.040 there's no good response to this. They say, oh, Bernie, 0:42:45.160 --> 0:42:47.320 they said mean things about Bernie Sanders too. Yeah, but 0:42:47.360 --> 0:42:50.040 there's not there's not all the other stuff with Bernie Sanders. 0:42:50.120 --> 0:42:54.640 That's that's irrelevant. This only matters in the context of 0:42:54.840 --> 0:43:00.080 an endless and completely open investigation that was start it 0:43:00.160 --> 0:43:02.239 based on nonsense. And oh we find out the people 0:43:02.280 --> 0:43:04.719 who started it also happened to hate Trump. That they 0:43:04.800 --> 0:43:07.399 hate other people doesn't matter because they didn't start huge 0:43:07.440 --> 0:43:11.839 investigations of those other politicians. But it's just distraction from 0:43:11.880 --> 0:43:14.000 the media. It's look at the shiny object over here. 0:43:14.680 --> 0:43:17.719 Don't get close to the truth. Don't believe what you 0:43:17.800 --> 0:43:22.040 already know. Believe us fake news. We'll tell you the truth. 0:43:22.520 --> 0:43:27.600 You have Democrats actually going after Rod Rosenstein. Now, I mean, 0:43:27.640 --> 0:43:30.000 this is this is astonishing. You got you gotta hear 0:43:30.080 --> 0:43:34.240 some of this that the Department of Justice itself. Not Mueller, 0:43:34.360 --> 0:43:37.400 not his team, but the Department of Justice, the formal 0:43:37.600 --> 0:43:42.720 Public Affairs channel had actually orchestrated this dump of text 0:43:42.800 --> 0:43:46.239 messages that were revealed in the course of an ongoing 0:43:46.600 --> 0:43:50.200 Department of Justice investigation. That strikes me, it's very odd 0:43:50.360 --> 0:43:52.319 that there are people in the Department of Justice who 0:43:52.360 --> 0:43:59.200 apparently are cooperating with this effort to undermine the integrity 0:43:59.239 --> 0:44:03.839 and the strength of the Special Council investigation. Is an 0:44:03.880 --> 0:44:08.799 irrelevant distraction. What you have there is a Democrat member 0:44:08.840 --> 0:44:12.399 of Congress who's now claiming that they are basically deep 0:44:12.480 --> 0:44:16.200 state pro Trump elements at the FBI. Now we've been 0:44:16.239 --> 0:44:20.080 hearing all along that go ahead, Tyrone. That particular democrat 0:44:20.239 --> 0:44:22.399 was the one who just made up a crazy number 0:44:22.480 --> 0:44:24.759 for the number of mass shootings. There's been nine d 0:44:24.880 --> 0:44:27.200 shootings with ten or more people this year, according to 0:44:27.520 --> 0:44:32.360 that was the same guy last week. But this is 0:44:32.440 --> 0:44:35.880 what you're hearing. Oh, you know, how could they release 0:44:35.960 --> 0:44:39.280 these texts? They were on government They're they're using government 0:44:39.320 --> 0:44:42.280 property as in their phones, their devices. Those are official devices, 0:44:42.360 --> 0:44:47.160 those are official records. These senior FBI people must think 0:44:47.160 --> 0:44:50.000 they're really untouchable. To be using official records and talking 0:44:50.160 --> 0:44:53.680 all kinds of stuff about the president or soon to 0:44:53.760 --> 0:44:58.080 be president. Not smart, by the way. Like I worked 0:44:58.080 --> 0:45:00.680 in the federal government, I never would have dreamed of 0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:04.360 sending an email or a text message on government property 0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:07.120 that was like the commander in chief is an idiot, 0:45:07.160 --> 0:45:09.080 a moron, or you know whatever. All the stuff that 0:45:09.200 --> 0:45:13.279 was being said, it's just you know, because you never know, 0:45:13.440 --> 0:45:15.640 and that stuff's gonna get called the new an investigation. 0:45:15.680 --> 0:45:17.440 We all this is all one oh one. This is 0:45:17.480 --> 0:45:19.360 not surprising at all, but others in the media have 0:45:19.400 --> 0:45:21.560 been trying this too. Oh. I feel bad for the 0:45:21.920 --> 0:45:25.279 FBI agents whose privacy has been violated. Here. No one 0:45:25.360 --> 0:45:27.520 set up a camera in their bedroom. This is on 0:45:27.640 --> 0:45:32.600 their official work computers, smartphones, whatever it may be. And 0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:34.560 it's relevant, and you know the FBI, you know, you 0:45:34.600 --> 0:45:36.319 don't get to play that game. And the FBI wants 0:45:36.400 --> 0:45:39.640 your records. Let me have it be known. If they're 0:45:39.640 --> 0:45:43.240 doing investigation and they think that whatever you've got is relevant, 0:45:43.280 --> 0:45:47.280 it's theirs. They gotta play by the same rules, folks. 0:45:48.320 --> 0:45:50.560 I've gotta play by the same rules. And you can 0:45:50.640 --> 0:45:53.040 just tell there's a desperation right now. Oh yeah, as 0:45:53.080 --> 0:45:56.680 I said, the Bernie Sanders thing, there are text messages 0:45:56.719 --> 0:46:00.759 about other politicians irrelevant. That doesn't mean anything. Because we're 0:46:00.800 --> 0:46:03.560 working backwards from there's a huge, massive investigation that never 0:46:03.600 --> 0:46:07.520 should have been started. And the juxtaposition of the Hillary 0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:10.759 case versus the Hillary investigation versus Trump investigation is just 0:46:12.840 --> 0:46:18.719 appalling and how clear the politicization is. And you know 0:46:18.800 --> 0:46:21.080 not you got Adam Schiff who's now whining about Oh, 0:46:21.120 --> 0:46:23.200 they might try to shut this down. Yeah, because they 0:46:23.239 --> 0:46:26.160 want to continue this forever. This is the hashtag resistance. 0:46:27.440 --> 0:46:31.120 This is it Russia collusion nonsense. That's what they're trying 0:46:31.160 --> 0:46:32.680 to go for here. That's what they think will be 0:46:32.719 --> 0:46:36.759 the difference maker. It might not stop the administration, it'll 0:46:36.800 --> 0:46:39.680 slow it down enough to make it ineffective. They want 0:46:39.719 --> 0:46:41.600 to make sure that Trump can make America great again. 0:46:41.600 --> 0:46:44.960 That's what the investigation is all about. I gonna find 0:46:45.000 --> 0:46:51.239 any Russian collusion anyway. It's Oh but Schiff here is 0:46:51.320 --> 0:46:53.880 telling us all that. I'll let him say. This is 0:46:53.960 --> 0:46:56.600 the Democrat who who people believe is also the source 0:46:56.640 --> 0:46:59.600 of a lot of interesting information for the press that 0:46:59.800 --> 0:47:01.800 is anti Trump that is not supposed to be getting 0:47:01.800 --> 0:47:05.360 out there. When you look at the context of the 0:47:05.400 --> 0:47:08.880 allegations that the d o J Inspector generals investigating, they 0:47:08.920 --> 0:47:11.840 were very selective in what they released. There were multiple 0:47:11.920 --> 0:47:16.880 reports last year that the FBI was heavily predisposed against 0:47:17.000 --> 0:47:20.719 Hillary Clinton and in favor of Donald Trump. If there 0:47:20.760 --> 0:47:23.640 are text messages that run in the other direction, why 0:47:23.719 --> 0:47:27.000 have they not also been released? Once they have been released, 0:47:27.000 --> 0:47:29.560 are very anti Trump? The ones that they've released are all, 0:47:29.920 --> 0:47:32.000 to the degree they bear at all, as far as 0:47:32.040 --> 0:47:34.719 I can tell, are anti Trump. Um. Does that mean 0:47:34.760 --> 0:47:38.560 they're not investigating the same allegation running in the opposite direction? 0:47:39.400 --> 0:47:44.840 What's the allegation the opposite direction? What Democrat Committee membership 0:47:45.000 --> 0:47:48.560 is saying doesn't make any sense. What's he saying that 0:47:48.840 --> 0:47:52.640 that people that they are anti anti Hillary people started 0:47:52.680 --> 0:47:57.080 the Russia investigation against Trump. It's irrelevant. Hillary got bailed out, 0:47:57.560 --> 0:48:01.959 Hillary got got the sweet deal one. Trump's the one 0:48:02.040 --> 0:48:04.880 that's getting all those people dragged through the mud and 0:48:04.920 --> 0:48:08.719 the nonsense of this Mueller probe, which is feted by 0:48:08.800 --> 0:48:15.000 the way it is putrid, rotten to the core. But well, 0:48:15.040 --> 0:48:17.359 we're gonna find anti Hillary text. I mean, they don't 0:48:17.360 --> 0:48:21.080 even have coherent arguments if they found some FBI. First 0:48:21.080 --> 0:48:23.719 of all the people that are at the top of 0:48:23.800 --> 0:48:30.799 these investigations, McCabe, Muller, comey struck. All Hillary partisans. What's 0:48:30.800 --> 0:48:33.240 her name? The one who was the acting Attorney general? 0:48:33.600 --> 0:48:36.160 Uh d o J. I can't remember name off that 0:48:36.280 --> 0:48:38.440 may head, but you know I'm talking about member. She 0:48:38.520 --> 0:48:40.000 was the one that wouldn't do the job with the 0:48:42.440 --> 0:48:44.920 the travel band, you know what I mean. I'm forgetting name, 0:48:45.080 --> 0:48:48.600 Sally Ate. Sally Ate. There we go. These are all 0:48:48.680 --> 0:48:51.480 Hillary partisans, and they're all the ones that have their 0:48:51.520 --> 0:48:55.120 fingerprints all over the email investigation, the Russia collusion, the 0:48:55.200 --> 0:48:59.560 Muller probe, Hillary partisans. Who's gonna w when are we 0:48:59.560 --> 0:49:01.759 gonna see the anti Hillary text? You're not gonna see 0:49:01.760 --> 0:49:05.400 the anti Hillary text, you idiot, because they're all Hillary partisans. 0:49:06.960 --> 0:49:09.759 So that's why they don't have anti Hillary text. You know, 0:49:09.840 --> 0:49:15.040 figure it out. Guy's an idiot. But I mean he 0:49:15.080 --> 0:49:16.800 doesn't have a good argument to make. That's that's a 0:49:16.840 --> 0:49:18.440 part of this too. Maybe he's not dumb, he just 0:49:18.520 --> 0:49:20.319 has nothing else to say, because what's he gonna say? 0:49:21.200 --> 0:49:24.120 People are figuring this out? You're really gonna tell me, 0:49:24.160 --> 0:49:27.279 this is a coincidence, you really? I mean, I was 0:49:27.360 --> 0:49:29.360 on Fox News. I was getting yelled over earlier in 0:49:29.400 --> 0:49:31.520 the week by somebody who doesn't know anything, who was 0:49:31.560 --> 0:49:33.400 trying to tell me that, well, the Russia collusion has 0:49:33.400 --> 0:49:35.800 already been proven because of the meeting with Donald Trump Jr. 0:49:35.880 --> 0:49:39.520 And I'm like, we're back to that now. That's pathetic. 0:49:41.800 --> 0:49:44.040 And also, yeah, he kept saying Wikipedia instead of Wiki 0:49:44.120 --> 0:49:47.799 leaks pretty different things. By the way, colluding with Wikipedia 0:49:47.840 --> 0:49:51.280 wouldn't get you very far unless you had an interest 0:49:51.440 --> 0:49:57.000 in random things and knowledge. But you didn't even have 0:49:57.040 --> 0:50:00.520 an argument to make. I'm I'm here looking at Fusion EPs. 0:50:01.080 --> 0:50:05.560 You have a Fusion GPS researcher married to a top 0:50:05.760 --> 0:50:09.560 Muller probe guy who got demoted from the Mueller probe 0:50:09.960 --> 0:50:13.960 because he was trying to work Fusion GPS stuff into 0:50:14.040 --> 0:50:18.120 what the FBI was doing. This is a coincidence. Come on, 0:50:21.520 --> 0:50:24.920 this stuff is now. This is now bright red Neon 0:50:25.360 --> 0:50:28.920 signs uh. And the media is in a bit of 0:50:28.960 --> 0:50:31.520 a panic, but that the Christmas holiday can't come soon 0:50:31.640 --> 0:50:33.880 enough for most of the mainstream because they need to 0:50:33.960 --> 0:50:36.600 regroup after this. This week has been terrible for them. 0:50:37.360 --> 0:50:40.480 I mean, the Republicans have been more focused on tax reform. 0:50:40.560 --> 0:50:45.640 But this has been a very, very damaging, a few 0:50:45.760 --> 0:50:48.400 days damaging series of news cycles for the whole Russia 0:50:48.440 --> 0:50:52.160 collusion thing, and Trump knows it. Trump was smacking them 0:50:52.160 --> 0:50:54.120 around to on that one. Alright, eight four or four 0:50:55.040 --> 0:50:57.560 to five. We'll take some calls. We'll be right back. 0:50:57.640 --> 0:51:00.080 Welcome back, saying lines. Let let's get to it on 0:51:00.200 --> 0:51:04.640 in New York. Welcome sir, Hello buck. I got a 0:51:04.719 --> 0:51:08.200 little bit of dialogue from a mid nineteen fifties movie. Okay, 0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:10.399 I'll give it a shot. Fifties is old, but let's 0:51:10.440 --> 0:51:14.520 go for it. Okay, Uh, start, you've lived too long? 0:51:15.880 --> 0:51:20.960 What about you? Gunfighter? But I know it, have no idea? 0:51:21.040 --> 0:51:24.640 What is that? That was Alan Ladd was the star 0:51:24.719 --> 0:51:28.600 in the movie was Shane, which is like, yeah, it's 0:51:28.600 --> 0:51:30.000 a really good one if you if you ever get 0:51:30.000 --> 0:51:33.160 a chance. I read the book on the novel. I yeah, 0:51:33.200 --> 0:51:35.759 I'll check it out. I mean, I will say Western's 0:51:35.800 --> 0:51:38.600 action movie. It's it's borderline for me. It's one of 0:51:38.719 --> 0:51:43.799 Jack Pallence's early screol He's a Jack Pallence plays a gunfighter. Uh, 0:51:44.120 --> 0:51:46.960 the guy at your cannon from Pettico Junction has a 0:51:47.000 --> 0:51:49.920 small part, the one that played the secretary on Beverly 0:51:50.000 --> 0:51:52.480 Hillbilly's Nancy Coulp was in it in a small part. 0:51:53.960 --> 0:51:55.839 On you're on the list, I'll put on the list. John, 0:51:55.960 --> 0:51:57.840 have a very merry Christisan. Thank you for calling her 0:51:57.840 --> 0:52:01.279 from New York. Robert and alab Amma, what do you 0:52:01.320 --> 0:52:05.720 got for me? Sir? Hey, I'm good. I speaking of Shane. 0:52:05.800 --> 0:52:10.520 Did you watch the last Um Wolverine movie? I did 0:52:10.680 --> 0:52:17.320 see Logan right there was It was very violent. I 0:52:17.400 --> 0:52:19.480 will say there was like a thirteen year old girl 0:52:19.600 --> 0:52:24.399 with with crazy claws lopping dude's heads off left and right. Well, 0:52:25.400 --> 0:52:29.840 they probably deserve it. I like your attitude. Robert, what 0:52:29.920 --> 0:52:32.920 do you got question for you? And this is not 0:52:33.080 --> 0:52:38.080 a quote but just a theoretical question. Is die Hard 0:52:38.760 --> 0:52:42.480 a Christmas movie? Not only is it a Christmas movie, 0:52:42.640 --> 0:52:45.600 it features some Christmas dialogue and takes place on I 0:52:45.680 --> 0:52:49.040 believe on Christmas Eve. Right, it actually has him right 0:52:49.120 --> 0:52:51.600 on a guy's chest. Ho ho ho Now I have 0:52:51.719 --> 0:52:54.760 a machine gun to a clear reference to Santa Claus. 0:52:55.080 --> 0:52:57.600 It is, in fact a Christmas movie. I don't even 0:52:57.640 --> 0:52:59.080 think this is when we have to turn over to 0:52:59.120 --> 0:53:02.080 the judges. Well, you know, if you actually, if you 0:53:02.200 --> 0:53:05.920 think about it, could die Hard be a remake of 0:53:06.600 --> 0:53:09.959 It's a Wonderful Life Because in a wonderful life there's 0:53:10.040 --> 0:53:14.040 family troubles and a third party reunite the family. I mean, 0:53:14.280 --> 0:53:17.839 isn't that just the basis of die Hard. I think 0:53:17.960 --> 0:53:21.440 we're stretching here a little bit, but but I like 0:53:21.719 --> 0:53:26.600 the affon to stretch. I like the effort. Man Robert Schilkes, 0:53:26.640 --> 0:53:27.960 high buddy, thank you for calling in, and have a 0:53:28.040 --> 0:53:31.120 merry Christmas. Lines little everyone likes to call it on Friday. 0:53:31.160 --> 0:53:36.560 I love it. Chris California, welcome, good to talk to 0:53:36.600 --> 0:53:43.560 you you too. Um multi pass uh, Lulu Dallas multi 0:53:43.600 --> 0:53:47.759 pass the Fifth Element. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. I will 0:53:47.800 --> 0:53:49.799 just put out there that you just said one word 0:53:49.960 --> 0:53:52.239 and I was able to name the movie. Amy is 0:53:52.440 --> 0:53:55.000 freaking out over there. She's like, that's incredible. I know, Amy, 0:53:55.120 --> 0:53:57.839 I am. It's a gift. It's hard to control. It's 0:53:57.840 --> 0:54:02.279 a gift. Screener. Remember the movie called The Cooler, Yes, 0:54:03.680 --> 0:54:06.800 the Cooler I don't know that one. That's William H. 0:54:07.000 --> 0:54:12.560 Macy movie where he plays a bad luck Joe who 0:54:12.840 --> 0:54:16.520 stays in a casino all the time, and if there's 0:54:16.560 --> 0:54:20.080 too much luck going on, he's called in by Alec 0:54:20.120 --> 0:54:26.160 Baldwin to go hang around the people and make him lose. Okay, 0:54:27.239 --> 0:54:29.960 And I don't know that one. He's sort of like 0:54:30.120 --> 0:54:34.320 a bad luck chill. And it made me think of 0:54:34.560 --> 0:54:42.719 the shooting in Air in Las Vegas and how it 0:54:42.840 --> 0:54:48.160 would be relatively inexpensive for a casino to keep a 0:54:48.280 --> 0:54:52.160 guy around who was, you know, a loner who had 0:54:52.239 --> 0:54:56.480 guns and throw him in wherever there would be a 0:54:56.600 --> 0:55:01.360 possibility of actual Uh no, we're done, We're done. This 0:55:01.400 --> 0:55:04.000 has gotten too weird. He's done. What What the heck 0:55:04.120 --> 0:55:07.160 was he talking about? That movie was literally about if 0:55:07.200 --> 0:55:09.000 the guy came by, you would have bad luck. So 0:55:09.040 --> 0:55:11.120 if you're in a casino and you got a hot 0:55:11.200 --> 0:55:13.520 streak at the craps table, he comes stand next to 0:55:13.520 --> 0:55:15.680 you and all of a sudden, you crap out. I 0:55:15.719 --> 0:55:17.640 don't know where he how he got to where he got. 0:55:17.880 --> 0:55:19.640 I was trying to let him get to a conclusion, 0:55:19.719 --> 0:55:21.160 because it was I was trying to give him the 0:55:21.200 --> 0:55:24.520 benefit of not just rambling into into we went off. 0:55:25.040 --> 0:55:28.600 That train was way off the rails. That train, That 0:55:28.760 --> 0:55:33.520 train was you know, running over huts in the village, 0:55:33.600 --> 0:55:37.160 and livestock was fleeing and it was bad that train. 0:55:37.440 --> 0:55:40.759 That train got way loose. Sorry about that, everybody. It's 0:55:40.760 --> 0:55:45.000 gonna happen sometimes. Um anyway, all right, Uh, we gotta 0:55:45.000 --> 0:55:48.920 talk about some of the latest sextual harassment stuff. Um 0:55:49.440 --> 0:55:54.839 do we how long is it we might talk about? Well, 0:55:55.239 --> 0:55:57.000 do we have any updates on the time round? Well 0:55:57.600 --> 0:55:59.360 that's okay, So that's too long. Well we'll get to 0:55:59.400 --> 0:56:02.120 in a few minutes. Oh, we have something. We have 0:56:02.200 --> 0:56:04.960 some things to discuss. I believe the first high profile 0:56:05.080 --> 0:56:08.440 case of a woman getting in trouble for sexual harassment 0:56:08.480 --> 0:56:11.719 has happened now, right, A lady stepped down from a 0:56:13.520 --> 0:56:18.319 what was this? Uh yeah, Democrat woman accused of sexual harassment. 0:56:19.280 --> 0:56:22.279 I'm talking with this new This is in Kansas. We've 0:56:22.280 --> 0:56:25.520 got some new sexual harassment stories to discussed together. Um, 0:56:26.080 --> 0:56:27.600 there's a lot of them today. I don't we have 0:56:27.680 --> 0:56:28.759 time to get to all them. We'll get to some 0:56:28.840 --> 0:56:31.360 of them next week. We're getting more of the holiday 0:56:31.440 --> 0:56:33.800 cheers stuff. Don't worry. Play some Christmas music and all that. 0:56:34.480 --> 0:56:38.160 Today we're just gonna talk about the news and some 0:56:38.239 --> 0:56:41.680 other things. Sexual harassment stories coming up after the break, 0:56:41.719 --> 0:56:45.000 you want to hear him. Here's a story that you 0:56:45.120 --> 0:56:47.880 won't see the media spend a lot of time on. 0:56:50.000 --> 0:56:52.880 You've got some of the A couple of the women 0:56:53.040 --> 0:56:55.960 that were making that we're considering making sexual miss conduct 0:56:55.960 --> 0:56:59.320 allegations against Donald Trump in the final months of the 0:57:00.040 --> 0:57:05.120 presidential race had their lawyer California California lawyer Lisa Bloom 0:57:06.080 --> 0:57:09.439 making efforts to get them a whole lot of money, 0:57:11.040 --> 0:57:14.200 including one woman being offered as much as seven hundred 0:57:14.280 --> 0:57:21.080 and fifty thousand dollars. Now that leaves a whole lot 0:57:21.160 --> 0:57:24.680 of unanswered questions, doesn't it. I should note that any 0:57:24.760 --> 0:57:29.680 time in recent history a Republican has been acute, Donald 0:57:29.680 --> 0:57:32.120 Trump most specifically, has been accused of any kind of 0:57:32.200 --> 0:57:36.080 sexual misconduct. And someone raised the possibility of anyone coming 0:57:36.240 --> 0:57:39.320 out and saying this not just for political reasons but 0:57:39.440 --> 0:57:43.120 also for payment, that has been slapped down right away. 0:57:44.200 --> 0:57:48.760 That's uh, that's a slander, completely untrue. Would never happen. 0:57:48.960 --> 0:57:52.720 Women need to be believed no woman would ever do that. Well, 0:57:52.760 --> 0:57:55.320 now we have a report that two women were very 0:57:55.400 --> 0:58:01.160 close to doing that, getting paid to say that Donald true. 0:58:01.200 --> 0:58:03.600 Now you could say that what there was gonna they 0:58:03.640 --> 0:58:06.280 were gonna tell the truth. But I should note, whether 0:58:06.280 --> 0:58:09.400 you believe that or not, that for an encounter that 0:58:09.600 --> 0:58:14.560 may have been in a gray area where Trump thought 0:58:14.640 --> 0:58:17.520 that he had full consent to touch or grab or 0:58:17.560 --> 0:58:20.080 whatever it may have been, and a woman did not 0:58:20.240 --> 0:58:25.160 feel that way, the economic incentive to add to the 0:58:25.280 --> 0:58:27.880 story is certainly there, right The economics said up to 0:58:27.920 --> 0:58:29.920 make it sound even worse. You're talking about seven dred 0:58:29.920 --> 0:58:35.440 and fifty thousand dollars substantial if you were giving testimony 0:58:35.480 --> 0:58:38.680 in a court and somebody said, well, there you know, 0:58:40.120 --> 0:58:41.680 are you? Are you swear to tell the whole truth, 0:58:41.760 --> 0:58:44.000 nothing but the truth. Did someone pay you seven or 0:58:44.120 --> 0:58:46.600 fifty grand to say this? And you said yes, that 0:58:46.680 --> 0:58:51.280 would look bad. That would look bad. So I would 0:58:51.320 --> 0:58:55.080 just note that we've gotten used to brushing all that 0:58:55.200 --> 0:58:57.720 aside right away out of hand. Oh no, No, no 0:58:57.920 --> 0:59:01.360 woman would ever level allegation against Donald Trump, against the 0:59:01.360 --> 0:59:06.120 president of sexual misconduct because somebody paid them to say 0:59:06.240 --> 0:59:09.640 such a thing as a disgrace, except it looks like 0:59:09.760 --> 0:59:15.360 it was, if not true, very close to being true. Um. 0:59:15.720 --> 0:59:19.120 The Hill dot Com broke the story today, and well 0:59:19.240 --> 0:59:23.080 done in doing so, So I think that that's not worthy. 0:59:23.120 --> 0:59:25.240 A couple of other things here, because there's a lot 0:59:25.320 --> 0:59:29.520 of this sexual harassment stuff, sexual miss I think sexual 0:59:29.560 --> 0:59:32.320 misconduct is probably a better term because it's more all inclusive. 0:59:32.360 --> 0:59:34.520 But we'll talk about what should be included and what shouldn't. 0:59:35.080 --> 0:59:39.040 Matt Damon got in some trouble with that. I mentioned 0:59:39.080 --> 0:59:43.760 this before. There is a woman who is the first 0:59:44.040 --> 0:59:49.000 high profile female politician, or maybe she's not high profile, 0:59:49.120 --> 0:59:54.080 but Kansas Democrat Andrea Ramsey has been accused of sexual 0:59:54.160 --> 0:59:58.720 harassment and is dropping out of a congressional race US 0:59:58.800 --> 1:00:02.720 House race. They have a woman who it is said 1:00:03.000 --> 1:00:07.400 was harassing and retaliated against a male subordinate who rejected 1:00:07.440 --> 1:00:13.440 her advances. This is still overwhelmingly going to be a 1:00:13.600 --> 1:00:17.840 problem where men are the aggressors. But I did think 1:00:17.880 --> 1:00:20.400 it was noteworthy that we did have one case here 1:00:21.400 --> 1:00:24.000 that has become something of a national news story where 1:00:24.000 --> 1:00:26.880 a woman will no longer run for Congress because she 1:00:27.960 --> 1:00:30.520 It's a power dynamic thing, right, If a woman is 1:00:30.560 --> 1:00:32.440 in a place where she holds a man's job in 1:00:32.560 --> 1:00:37.960 her hands, Uh, that could influence the you know, the 1:00:38.080 --> 1:00:41.960 the that and that would influence the sexual dynamic very strongly. 1:00:42.960 --> 1:00:45.440 And a man could feel coerce not fit. It's different, 1:00:45.480 --> 1:00:48.200 not physically coerce. We're not talking about the criminal kind 1:00:48.280 --> 1:00:53.440 of sexual coersion, but professional co sexual harassment, professional coercion 1:00:53.600 --> 1:00:57.040 that absolutely can and and has happened, so as we 1:00:57.120 --> 1:00:59.240 see from this story, just want to put that in there. 1:01:00.600 --> 1:01:03.919 And then we get into the Matt Damon thing, which 1:01:04.840 --> 1:01:07.320 I mean, I've always thought Matt Damon was very overrated. 1:01:07.360 --> 1:01:08.880 I know some of you've already written to me in 1:01:08.880 --> 1:01:10.240 the past and said you disagree with me on that. 1:01:10.360 --> 1:01:13.160 That's fine. I don't know why the guy. I feel 1:01:13.200 --> 1:01:14.840 like I could walk through any mall in America and 1:01:14.920 --> 1:01:16.440 find a better guy to play a lot of roles 1:01:16.480 --> 1:01:20.480 than Matt Damon. But anyway, that's neither here nor there. 1:01:20.640 --> 1:01:22.439 I just like to hate on Matt Damon for some reason, 1:01:23.000 --> 1:01:26.720 for a lot of reasons. Matt Damon sat down for 1:01:26.720 --> 1:01:28.800 an interview with Variety or one of these was a 1:01:28.920 --> 1:01:31.520 Variety of one of these publications, and he said a 1:01:31.520 --> 1:01:33.080 lot of things, and they were asking kind of do 1:01:33.120 --> 1:01:35.400 you believe do you not believe about individual cases? And 1:01:35.960 --> 1:01:38.680 I don't really I don't have you know, that's he 1:01:38.760 --> 1:01:40.440 can say what he wants to say about that, right, 1:01:40.440 --> 1:01:41.800 he can say I do believe it, don't believe, and 1:01:41.880 --> 1:01:45.120 that's on him. But he also tried to make a 1:01:45.200 --> 1:01:48.120 point about how we are in this habit right now 1:01:49.280 --> 1:01:52.360 of and I've been warning you about this four weeks now. 1:01:52.680 --> 1:01:56.560 Those you listen to the show, no where anything that 1:01:56.840 --> 1:02:01.280 is in the sexual harassment category is spoken about in 1:02:01.360 --> 1:02:09.200 the same general, vain, same general context as grotesque, predatory, 1:02:09.320 --> 1:02:13.320 criminal stuff. Because of this movement right now that me too, 1:02:13.400 --> 1:02:16.280 women are to be believed no more sexual harassment movement 1:02:16.320 --> 1:02:20.280 that's going on in the country, and that's going to 1:02:20.360 --> 1:02:22.479 create problems. I think it already is create We're seeing 1:02:22.520 --> 1:02:24.600 it happening right now. It's beginning to be an issue. 1:02:25.320 --> 1:02:28.160 I mentioned Matt Lowry yesterday again because I like to 1:02:28.200 --> 1:02:30.240 hate on Matt lower I'm usually a very nice and 1:02:30.320 --> 1:02:33.040 generous person, especially about other people, but there's some people 1:02:33.080 --> 1:02:35.640 that need to be cut down a few sizes. Uh. 1:02:35.800 --> 1:02:38.280 But Matt lower I just had a piece come out 1:02:38.320 --> 1:02:42.080 where a woman who was twenty four had a consensual 1:02:42.160 --> 1:02:45.160 affair with him. Right, affairs are bad, shouldn't do it, 1:02:45.280 --> 1:02:48.640 but she did it, and she this whole long story 1:02:48.680 --> 1:02:51.280 about how he was the power dynamic, and she was 1:02:51.360 --> 1:02:54.840 so taken in by him and he was so compelling 1:02:54.920 --> 1:02:57.000 and everything else. That's like, look, you know, you got 1:02:57.080 --> 1:03:01.160 involved with the merried guy and it didn't well and 1:03:01.280 --> 1:03:04.920 you were mostly traumatized by it. But that's not that's 1:03:04.960 --> 1:03:07.440 not a Weinstein like situation. That's just a you made 1:03:07.480 --> 1:03:09.800 a bad choice in Matt Lower's a creep situation. But 1:03:09.880 --> 1:03:13.360 that's not the same thing. There was no force, there 1:03:13.400 --> 1:03:16.880 were no threats, there was no coercion, and people are 1:03:16.880 --> 1:03:19.560 speaking about it like, Okay, well, this is all very similar, 1:03:19.600 --> 1:03:21.720 and we need to be very clear. The biggest distinction 1:03:21.800 --> 1:03:25.480 is are we talking civil or criminal? Right, civil is 1:03:25.600 --> 1:03:27.240 go out on a date with me or you're fired. 1:03:28.000 --> 1:03:30.000 That person should the person who does that should be 1:03:30.080 --> 1:03:32.760 fired and they should be sued for a lot of money. Right. 1:03:33.520 --> 1:03:36.240 What the criminal side would be the Weinstein of come 1:03:36.280 --> 1:03:37.960 back to my hotel and to talk about the role, 1:03:38.280 --> 1:03:40.680 and then Weinstein like grabs and doesn't take no for 1:03:40.720 --> 1:03:44.000 an answer and is molesting and all that stuff. But 1:03:44.680 --> 1:03:47.040 this is a distinction in law that should also be 1:03:47.160 --> 1:03:50.200 reflected in our discussions about all this. Matt Damon in 1:03:50.280 --> 1:03:53.200 this interview was trying to say this trying to make 1:03:53.280 --> 1:03:56.440 that point, of course, not as precisely or eloquently as 1:03:56.480 --> 1:04:01.120 I just have. He's Matt Damon. But people were piling on. 1:04:01.320 --> 1:04:03.600 I mean, they are all over Matt Damon on this one. 1:04:03.640 --> 1:04:06.320 Oh how could you? And it just goes to show 1:04:06.480 --> 1:04:11.600 that the political winds are blowing so strongly behind this 1:04:11.760 --> 1:04:14.520 whole movement right now that anyone who stands up, even 1:04:14.560 --> 1:04:16.120 for a moment, it says, hold on a second, Maybe 1:04:16.200 --> 1:04:19.120 this one we should we should think a little bit 1:04:19.160 --> 1:04:22.960 more about her. Maybe we shouldn't rush to judgment on 1:04:23.320 --> 1:04:26.320 every case as though they're all the same case. That 1:04:26.480 --> 1:04:28.280 person is not part of the problem. This is what's 1:04:28.320 --> 1:04:33.440 that issue with movements. Movements rely on the mentality of 1:04:33.520 --> 1:04:36.560 a mob. Now, movements can be good, but movements can 1:04:36.640 --> 1:04:39.480 also be bad, and good movements can turn bad quickly 1:04:39.560 --> 1:04:43.960 because the mentality of a group, the psychology of a mass, 1:04:44.280 --> 1:04:50.680 is different and has different moral tendencies and traits than 1:04:50.760 --> 1:04:54.040 that of an individual. And that's my concern right now, 1:04:54.240 --> 1:04:56.040 is all this is and has been my concern is 1:04:56.040 --> 1:04:58.960 all this is happening. So Matt Damon just got on 1:04:59.040 --> 1:05:01.960 the hot seat for this one. Uh. And then there's 1:05:01.960 --> 1:05:06.120 the ESPN as a whole mess over there MSNBC with 1:05:06.200 --> 1:05:09.720 Sports All Center as ESPN is having some trouble and 1:05:10.160 --> 1:05:12.520 I don't know that much about it because I'm focused 1:05:12.560 --> 1:05:14.280 on some of the other things here. Tyrone does know 1:05:14.320 --> 1:05:16.440 about it, Tyrone, what the heck is going on ESPN? 1:05:16.480 --> 1:05:18.520 There's people, there's a lot of stuff going on. Well, 1:05:18.560 --> 1:05:22.560 it was um Adrian Lawrence, a former ESPN staffers. She 1:05:22.640 --> 1:05:25.240 was on Sports Center different different shows, went to the 1:05:25.320 --> 1:05:28.600 Boston Globe and told her story, and from that other 1:05:28.840 --> 1:05:33.040 people sort of were asked about the culture they're ESPN, 1:05:33.120 --> 1:05:36.560 and this particular culture isn't just sexual harassment like some 1:05:36.600 --> 1:05:40.360 of the other places. It's sort of also a boys club, 1:05:41.000 --> 1:05:43.040 I think would be the best way to describe it. 1:05:43.520 --> 1:05:47.520 And while ESPN has made a lot of strides compare, 1:05:47.600 --> 1:05:49.840 you know, as far as a lot of they made 1:05:49.880 --> 1:05:51.800 a lot of strides with women being you know, for 1:05:52.120 --> 1:05:54.600 you know, front and center, but they still have ways 1:05:54.640 --> 1:05:56.600 to go if you believe what's come out in the 1:05:56.680 --> 1:05:59.560 Boston Globe article. So what what was in what was 1:05:59.680 --> 1:06:02.240 some of what's in the article? Well, well, first let's 1:06:02.280 --> 1:06:04.040 take the boys club part of it. There was a 1:06:04.120 --> 1:06:07.400 woman Sarah Walsh. Waxley was a big fan of and 1:06:07.800 --> 1:06:09.480 she was having her and her husband were having a 1:06:09.560 --> 1:06:14.560 lot of trouble having a baby, multiple miscarriages, and it 1:06:14.720 --> 1:06:17.680 was kind of she kind of was told according to 1:06:18.120 --> 1:06:20.680 other people because she refused to speak on it, but 1:06:20.800 --> 1:06:23.840 she has kind through social media. She came to work 1:06:24.000 --> 1:06:27.600 the day she had a miscarriage and was literally bleeding 1:06:27.680 --> 1:06:32.160 on set in Alabama for college game day because she's 1:06:32.200 --> 1:06:35.320 not supposed to miss work, but men could miss work 1:06:35.400 --> 1:06:38.919 for much less. So if you're a woman there, you're 1:06:39.120 --> 1:06:41.400 asked to do things that men, at least that's what 1:06:41.480 --> 1:06:43.760 the story says, and people have corroborated. You're asked to 1:06:43.800 --> 1:06:47.240 do things that men aren't asked to do. It isn't 1:06:47.240 --> 1:06:50.440 an interesting that assuming that that is an accurate reflection 1:06:50.480 --> 1:06:53.520 of the culture there, that that is apparently what's going 1:06:53.560 --> 1:06:57.080 on ESPN in terms of male female relations. And meanwhile, 1:06:57.320 --> 1:07:00.440 ESPN is like very progressive, left wing, anti gone all 1:07:00.480 --> 1:07:05.720 that stuff. Yes, that but that that's more complicated. That's 1:07:05.720 --> 1:07:08.240 a lawger playing, that's more complicated. I'm just saying that 1:07:08.480 --> 1:07:11.040 you got a lot of liberals over the ESPN, and 1:07:11.080 --> 1:07:13.960 I think you have a lot of city people and 1:07:14.120 --> 1:07:18.600 cities tend to be more liberal. They cover teams locally, 1:07:18.800 --> 1:07:21.160 they end up ESPN nationally and they take their politics 1:07:21.240 --> 1:07:24.560 with them. But there isn't there also a highlight like 1:07:24.680 --> 1:07:27.760 an anchor and a former employee, and there's text messages. 1:07:28.000 --> 1:07:30.440 That's the that's the that's the sexual harassment part. Adrian 1:07:30.520 --> 1:07:33.640 Lawrence claims that John Bucharage, who has been there for 1:07:33.720 --> 1:07:36.120 a long time, and he's I think he's a solid guy, 1:07:36.840 --> 1:07:40.360 he claimed. She claimed that he's sexually harassed her. He 1:07:40.520 --> 1:07:42.840 came out and said, listen, if she thought that, I'm sorry. 1:07:42.960 --> 1:07:45.480 I thought we were friends. But he went to step further. 1:07:46.120 --> 1:07:48.600 He went to his bosses when those allegations came out 1:07:49.200 --> 1:07:52.920 and showed his bosses all the text messages. And they 1:07:53.040 --> 1:07:57.520 have since published those text messages and I read them 1:07:57.880 --> 1:08:00.000 and it sounds like Adrian Lawrence. This is the first 1:08:00.080 --> 1:08:02.760 time because I've actually always side. I tend to side 1:08:02.800 --> 1:08:04.400 with the women because I think they have a lot 1:08:04.480 --> 1:08:07.040 to lose when they come forward on this one. I 1:08:07.160 --> 1:08:10.200 have to side with the with the man, she said, 1:08:10.240 --> 1:08:12.440 he said things like corner long legs. Well, they went 1:08:12.520 --> 1:08:14.960 to dinner together and he was talking about adjusting the 1:08:15.040 --> 1:08:19.439 seat in the car for her long legs, So that's 1:08:19.479 --> 1:08:22.439 not him really referring to her legs in a This 1:08:22.680 --> 1:08:25.599 is this where, this is the beginning. This is why 1:08:25.600 --> 1:08:26.840 I want to ask you about it because I've been 1:08:26.880 --> 1:08:29.360 worried that this is where we're heading now. People are 1:08:29.400 --> 1:08:32.040 seeing this as it's leverage. It's a way to get 1:08:32.080 --> 1:08:34.479 a payday. You know, little things are gonna be the 1:08:34.479 --> 1:08:37.000 people are gonna try to magnify them for their own purposes, 1:08:37.040 --> 1:08:40.400 for their own advancement, right. And I will say most 1:08:40.439 --> 1:08:43.800 of the current ESPN staffers have been supportive of her 1:08:43.880 --> 1:08:46.600 she's no longer there, and think that they need to 1:08:46.680 --> 1:08:50.080 make changes. But all of them have said ESPN is 1:08:50.160 --> 1:08:55.439 better with this particular issue than other workplaces, So they're saying, 1:08:55.520 --> 1:08:59.880 maybe her complaints with this individual are true, but compared 1:09:00.000 --> 1:09:02.600 all the places they worked, this place is awesome. And 1:09:02.800 --> 1:09:05.400 looking at the text messages, I just don't see a case. 1:09:06.080 --> 1:09:08.639 He tried to show around the area for people who 1:09:08.680 --> 1:09:10.560 don't know, you go to Bristol, Connecticut, that is not 1:09:10.840 --> 1:09:14.479 a a metro as, not a as a not a 1:09:14.560 --> 1:09:18.400 diverse urban metropolitan ecosystem. No, so if you and you 1:09:18.680 --> 1:09:20.720 kind of have to move there, and you're moving over 1:09:20.760 --> 1:09:24.840 again from Boston, from Miami, from Colorado, different cities where 1:09:24.840 --> 1:09:26.240 you get picked up. Now you you kind of get 1:09:26.280 --> 1:09:28.040 to the big time. The big time is the middle 1:09:28.040 --> 1:09:32.599 of nowhere. He offered to show around, she accepted. She said, hey, 1:09:33.040 --> 1:09:34.960 when are you available? Hey, I'm only on the campus 1:09:35.000 --> 1:09:36.679 because they set up a whole campus for the staff. 1:09:36.960 --> 1:09:39.400 They went out to different dinners. It just seems like 1:09:40.000 --> 1:09:42.840 maybe he said something out of line along the way, 1:09:43.280 --> 1:09:45.760 but it seems like buying lards. This was a friendship 1:09:46.520 --> 1:09:48.479 where he may have thought he could say something and 1:09:48.520 --> 1:09:50.960 maybe she was offended, but he definitely was not a 1:09:51.160 --> 1:09:54.599 predator who had power over her. Yeah, well, the power 1:09:54.680 --> 1:09:57.520 dynamic is also very important. A period of peer relationships 1:09:57.560 --> 1:10:01.040 in the workplace should be treated very dead friendly. Then 1:10:01.160 --> 1:10:04.400 when somebody has power over your future, you're firing or 1:10:04.479 --> 1:10:06.400 hiring or any of that kind of stuff. Well, before 1:10:06.439 --> 1:10:08.799 we run in a break here, Tyrone. The Russell Simmons 1:10:08.880 --> 1:10:13.160 thing I saw three accusers was four accusing, four accusers, 1:10:13.240 --> 1:10:16.040 now kind of saying out flat out rape. So, I 1:10:16.080 --> 1:10:18.519 mean he's he's like a billionaire right or close to it. 1:10:18.560 --> 1:10:22.440 I mean, he's an incredibly wealthy hip hop and persorio 1:10:22.760 --> 1:10:25.519 and really important to the black community in that a 1:10:25.600 --> 1:10:28.240 lot of the comedians that we know, Martin Lawrence, Chris Tucker, 1:10:28.720 --> 1:10:32.240 Kevin Hart came he with Deaf Comedy Jam, which he created, 1:10:32.320 --> 1:10:36.719 and without him, there's no them. So he's really important. 1:10:36.800 --> 1:10:38.920 And not to mention everything like with the music run DMC, 1:10:39.160 --> 1:10:41.960 L cool J, on and on and on. He's flat 1:10:42.000 --> 1:10:43.960 out there night. He's the first person in one of 1:10:44.000 --> 1:10:46.759 these major cases where came out and flat out said nope, 1:10:47.040 --> 1:10:50.960 no way, didn't happen. I didn't do it. But it's 1:10:51.120 --> 1:10:53.160 a lot of tests, right yep. And it's no longer 1:10:53.240 --> 1:10:56.479 Deaf Comedy Jam though it's now like you know, it's 1:10:56.520 --> 1:10:59.559 no longer Russell Simmons Deaf Comedy Jam. It's just deaf 1:10:59.720 --> 1:11:03.599 jam comedy. Oh so they already it's the Kevin Spacey 1:11:03.640 --> 1:11:05.280 thing now where they you know, they erased h They 1:11:05.360 --> 1:11:08.800 literally erased his face from a movie in post production, right, 1:11:08.880 --> 1:11:11.720 so yes, and and now they're saying, oh, well, him 1:11:11.800 --> 1:11:14.160 bettering himself now he does a lot of yoga and meditation. 1:11:14.479 --> 1:11:17.280 This is him running away from his past. When he's saying, no, 1:11:17.360 --> 1:11:19.879 I'm just trying to live longer. So it's like everything 1:11:19.960 --> 1:11:22.160 he does now is under a tremendous amount of scrutiny. 1:11:22.320 --> 1:11:24.479 But he is flat out that night. He's the first 1:11:24.520 --> 1:11:28.000 person to come out this strongly into this is here 1:11:28.080 --> 1:11:30.679 we are. You're getting minor things that are being inflated 1:11:30.720 --> 1:11:33.080 in the case of this ESPN situation, and we've got 1:11:33.200 --> 1:11:35.200 to keep an eye out for that. And you also 1:11:35.439 --> 1:11:37.840 have now the first really high profile case of somebody 1:11:37.840 --> 1:11:41.200 who's like, Nope, this is this is not me, right, 1:11:41.240 --> 1:11:42.919 that's what he said. This is a not me situation 1:11:42.960 --> 1:11:45.759 instead of you know me too, is what the accusers 1:11:45.760 --> 1:11:47.040 I've been saying. All right, we have to run to 1:11:47.080 --> 1:11:49.000 a break. Team will be back. We'll take your calls, 1:11:49.000 --> 1:11:51.320 and then we've got immigration in the next hour. We'll 1:11:51.320 --> 1:11:53.000 talk about that. Emily is a not he joining some 1:11:53.160 --> 1:11:55.519 team Bucks speaks and I'm gonna tell you about sharks 1:11:55.520 --> 1:11:57.400 and killer whales because that'll be fun. Stay with me. 1:11:57.680 --> 1:12:02.920 Chef Chef Mario Vitali has gotten into into hot water 1:12:04.280 --> 1:12:06.840 for some sexual harassment stuff, and he sent out an 1:12:06.920 --> 1:12:09.479 email I just saw this or somebody on his behalfs 1:12:09.520 --> 1:12:11.680 o an email and it says, as many of you know, 1:12:11.840 --> 1:12:14.160 this week there's been some news coverage about my past behavior. 1:12:14.240 --> 1:12:17.439 I made any mistakes. I'm very sorry. I work every 1:12:17.520 --> 1:12:20.000 day to regain your trust. And then, in the same 1:12:20.120 --> 1:12:24.920 note bs, in case you're searching for a holiday inspired breakfast, 1:12:25.280 --> 1:12:31.000 these pizza dough cinnamon rolls are favorite. It's like, no, no, 1:12:32.000 --> 1:12:35.960 the apology is separate from the pizza dough cinnamon roll 1:12:36.600 --> 1:12:42.160 holidays thing. You don't put them together. Chef Batali, whoever 1:12:42.320 --> 1:12:45.639 his PR crisis PR firm is he should fire them. 1:12:45.920 --> 1:12:48.600 That's not how you do this. It's like, you know, 1:12:49.120 --> 1:12:51.760 sorry about all of my misbehavior in the past, but 1:12:51.960 --> 1:12:57.000 let's talk about a spice. Is like no, Chef Batali, 1:12:57.200 --> 1:13:02.200 that is not how you do this. Oh um, all right, 1:13:02.960 --> 1:13:06.360 Robert and Mississippi. What do you got for me?

Oh with my kitchen that long but ridge 1:13:30.760 --> 1:13:36.720 over the river quiet? Good guess though, right what's there? 1:13:36.840 --> 1:13:40.040 I said, it was a good guess. Yes, Oh, I 1:13:40.160 --> 1:13:42.960 wanted to mention the story you told a couple of 1:13:43.000 --> 1:13:48.960 weeks ago, which one the boss story about the orphans? Oh, 1:13:49.000 --> 1:13:52.120 I don't remember what am I telling? Was that the 1:13:52.160 --> 1:13:55.599 wrong anyway? I don't you admit? No, that was somebody else. 1:13:55.680 --> 1:14:01.559 That wasn't me, that was a different host. Go ahead, 1:14:01.920 --> 1:14:05.560 movie here, yep, uh, Well we have here is a 1:14:05.720 --> 1:14:09.920 case of so until tell me everything, but you show 1:14:10.000 --> 1:14:20.120 me nothing. Heat. I don't know what is it? True 1:14:20.320 --> 1:14:26.600 romance Christian Slater, all right, legit, legit action movie and 1:14:26.760 --> 1:14:30.280 you got me. All right, sir, you have out foxed 1:14:30.360 --> 1:14:32.560 the Sexton tonight, but next time I will get you. 1:14:32.760 --> 1:14:34.880 Thank you so much for calling and Robert, Merry Christmas 1:14:34.920 --> 1:14:38.519 and Shields High. I got a couple of calls that 1:14:38.840 --> 1:14:40.439 were I'm sorry, a couple of guests. Rather, we're gonna 1:14:40.479 --> 1:14:43.160 get you. Here in a few moments, we have someone 1:14:43.280 --> 1:14:45.920 from the Justic Vaughan from the Center for Immigration Studies 1:14:45.920 --> 1:14:48.200 talking about immigration year in review and also what we 1:14:48.240 --> 1:14:50.480 can look forward to next year with the Trump administration, 1:14:50.640 --> 1:14:54.520 So stay with me for that and more terrorists substruct 1:14:55.280 --> 1:14:58.000 in the streets and subways of New York City twice. 1:14:58.880 --> 1:15:02.680 It's in a few months. Both terrorists came to our 1:15:02.760 --> 1:15:07.360 country through the dysfunctional immigration system that we are correcting 1:15:08.120 --> 1:15:15.640 and rapidly, and one came through chain migration, chain migration 1:15:15.760 --> 1:15:19.720 to the other visa lottery. They have a lottery, you 1:15:19.800 --> 1:15:23.559 pick people. Do you think the country has given us 1:15:23.600 --> 1:15:27.000 their best people? Know? What kind of a system is 1:15:27.080 --> 1:15:30.360 that they come in by a lottery? They give us 1:15:30.400 --> 1:15:33.640 their worst people. They put them in a bin. But 1:15:33.800 --> 1:15:35.880 in his hand when he's picking him, is the really 1:15:35.960 --> 1:15:39.240 the worst of the worst. Congratulations you're going to the 1:15:39.360 --> 1:15:46.519 United States? Okay, water system, lottery system. We're calling for 1:15:46.680 --> 1:15:51.760 Congress to end chain migration and to end the visa 1:15:51.880 --> 1:15:56.400 lottery system and replace it with a merit based system 1:15:56.600 --> 1:16:00.519 of immigration. That was President Trump earlier today talking about 1:16:00.600 --> 1:16:04.000 where he stands on immigration. Nothing's really happened on it 1:16:04.560 --> 1:16:08.559 in seen. In fact, there's been some reporting that there 1:16:08.600 --> 1:16:12.799 are more illegals now at the border than in previous quarters, 1:16:12.920 --> 1:16:15.479 or more have been captured. What is going on here? 1:16:15.600 --> 1:16:18.160 What can we expect in or can we at least 1:16:18.200 --> 1:16:21.400 hope for in? We have Jessica Vaughan with us now. 1:16:21.520 --> 1:16:24.640 She is Director of Policy Studies at the Center for 1:16:24.680 --> 1:16:27.920 Immigration Studies. Jessica, thanks for making the time, glad to 1:16:27.960 --> 1:16:30.559 be with you all Right, First, before I get into 1:16:30.720 --> 1:16:32.720 the absolute latest news here, I just want to know 1:16:33.680 --> 1:16:37.280 what could we say about the Trump administration on immigration 1:16:37.640 --> 1:16:40.160 year one, you know, the the good, the bad, and 1:16:40.240 --> 1:16:45.640 the man Well, I they've accomplished a lot, really and 1:16:46.040 --> 1:16:49.959 and clearly immigration has been one of the most important 1:16:50.040 --> 1:16:52.960 issues that this administration wants to tackle, and they have 1:16:53.040 --> 1:16:55.599 a lot of clean up to do after eight years 1:16:55.680 --> 1:17:00.880 of the Obama administration, not only dismantling in the relation enforcement, 1:17:01.040 --> 1:17:06.880 but also opening up and creating programs that that we're uh, 1:17:07.000 --> 1:17:09.719 you know, illegal for them to create because only Congress 1:17:09.800 --> 1:17:11.960 can do that. So they're doing a lot of cleanup. 1:17:12.000 --> 1:17:18.480 But Interior enforcement is up um almost over the Obama administration. 1:17:19.320 --> 1:17:23.599 We saw an initial drop historic laws of apprehensions at 1:17:23.640 --> 1:17:28.040 the border, but there's the courts have imposed a catch 1:17:28.120 --> 1:17:32.639 and relief policy for unaccompanied miners and families who come 1:17:32.680 --> 1:17:35.360 from Central America, so their hands are kind of tied there. 1:17:35.880 --> 1:17:40.080 But they've also cleaned up the legal system by reinstituting 1:17:40.720 --> 1:17:44.479 programs to correct fraud. They are holding you know, they're 1:17:44.560 --> 1:17:48.240 arresting people for crimes like identity fraud and immigration fraud 1:17:48.320 --> 1:17:52.000 that we're ignored by the Obama administration. So the returning 1:17:52.080 --> 1:17:56.280 integrity to our immigration system and tightening up loopholes as 1:17:56.320 --> 1:17:59.560 they find them. But really with the President can't do 1:17:59.680 --> 1:18:03.080 it all all by himself. There are things that Congress 1:18:03.160 --> 1:18:06.760 has to do, and those are the things like UH 1:18:07.120 --> 1:18:13.040 ending chain migration, UM, it's doing something about sanctuary cities, UM, 1:18:13.280 --> 1:18:17.080 ending the visa lottery, and a number of other areas 1:18:17.200 --> 1:18:21.200 like you know, UM superseding the courts on this issue 1:18:21.240 --> 1:18:24.960 of catch and release, fixing our asylum system that's so 1:18:25.960 --> 1:18:31.160 abused by people now and by immigration lawyers. So it 1:18:31.280 --> 1:18:33.559 really has to be a team effort, and I think 1:18:33.640 --> 1:18:36.559 the President has made really great progress. He's set out 1:18:36.600 --> 1:18:39.880 an agenda, he's starting to accomplish things, but at a 1:18:39.960 --> 1:18:44.280 certain point he needs resources from Congress and also a 1:18:44.360 --> 1:18:46.760 few tweaks to the law from Congress, and of course 1:18:46.840 --> 1:18:50.920 only Congress, as I said, can be the major reforms 1:18:51.000 --> 1:18:55.240 to our legal immigration system, so that are immigration system 1:18:55.320 --> 1:18:59.080 works for Americans and for the United States of America, 1:18:59.560 --> 1:19:01.439 not us for the people who want to come here. 1:19:01.760 --> 1:19:03.760 Jessica what can you tell me about this piece in 1:19:03.800 --> 1:19:08.160 the Washington Examiner that says Trump administration rolls out global 1:19:08.320 --> 1:19:12.400 campaign to combat those who overstay their visas in the US. 1:19:13.479 --> 1:19:16.519 But this is a huge problem. In the last couple 1:19:16.560 --> 1:19:19.960 of years, the Department of Homeland Security has estimated that 1:19:20.560 --> 1:19:23.560 more than half a million people who came in on 1:19:23.760 --> 1:19:28.280 visitor visas or other types of temporary non immigrant visas 1:19:28.640 --> 1:19:31.000 did not leave when it was time for them to 1:19:31.080 --> 1:19:35.560 do so, and they stayed on and make up a 1:19:36.080 --> 1:19:39.920 very large share of the illegal immigrant population in the 1:19:40.040 --> 1:19:44.000 United States. And part of it is because there has 1:19:44.040 --> 1:19:46.880 been some little interior enforcement in the country, so they 1:19:46.920 --> 1:19:50.040 don't fear getting caught or feel getting deported. But the 1:19:50.120 --> 1:19:52.360 other part of it is that the state Department has 1:19:52.439 --> 1:19:56.599 had has been, you know, really too lenient and who 1:19:56.840 --> 1:20:00.839 qualifies for these visas to come here. So the approaching 1:20:00.920 --> 1:20:04.559 it from both angles to try to address this problem. 1:20:05.040 --> 1:20:07.080 But you know, it's something that the wall that it fits. 1:20:08.080 --> 1:20:13.080 Speaking of a wall, we had Kirsten Nielsen just earlier 1:20:13.160 --> 1:20:17.439 this week say the following we're gonna have a law, 1:20:17.560 --> 1:20:20.040 we're gonna have border security, and we're gonna protect homeland 1:20:20.040 --> 1:20:21.760 and would the President, tell you when we've got the job. 1:20:21.840 --> 1:20:25.240 What did you say from me, build a wall attacked 1:20:25.280 --> 1:20:28.559 our country? You support the men and women. You see 1:20:28.560 --> 1:20:31.040 the reality of this wall and how effective it is 1:20:31.120 --> 1:20:34.760 as a bother when people in Washington or playing politics 1:20:35.200 --> 1:20:38.519 when it comes to the implementation of the technology needed 1:20:38.560 --> 1:20:40.960 to be successful. Of course it does, because this is 1:20:41.080 --> 1:20:43.880 key to our security of our of our homeland. I 1:20:43.920 --> 1:20:45.920 also find it very confusing. Is as you know, in 1:20:46.000 --> 1:20:49.400 two thousand six, we had a bill, the Secure Fence Act, 1:20:49.479 --> 1:20:52.439 that was largely bipartisan that would have done just this. 1:20:53.200 --> 1:20:55.559 So it is politics. It's easy for fix in Washington 1:20:55.760 --> 1:20:57.639 talk about the benefits of the law and not a wall. 1:20:58.000 --> 1:21:00.400 They're not working here, they're not facing the threat sentence 1:21:00.479 --> 1:21:03.360 of surfacing every day. All right, Jessica, that's the DHS, 1:21:03.479 --> 1:21:06.880 newly installed DHS chief saying that there's gonna be a wall. 1:21:06.960 --> 1:21:10.280 We need a wall. Walls great, But are we actually 1:21:10.280 --> 1:21:12.200 gonna get a wall? If all I want for Christmas 1:21:12.280 --> 1:21:13.719 is a border wall? Am I going to be happy 1:21:13.800 --> 1:21:18.639 next year? Um? You will be if Congress does its 1:21:18.760 --> 1:21:21.800 job and passes a spending bill like they're supposed to 1:21:21.880 --> 1:21:25.479 do every year, with the resources that the president is 1:21:25.479 --> 1:21:29.439 asked for to get this done. Um, Secretary Neilson is right. 1:21:29.520 --> 1:21:32.439 Congress asked for this back in two thousand six, and 1:21:32.640 --> 1:21:35.479 here eleven years later, it's still not finished. And we 1:21:35.600 --> 1:21:39.400 need it now more than ever because of the continued 1:21:39.520 --> 1:21:42.840 influx of people trying to get here over our southwest border, 1:21:43.160 --> 1:21:47.439 but also because of the drugs and other amiss it 1:21:47.960 --> 1:21:51.639 smuggling that is going on over the border. Um. It's 1:21:51.680 --> 1:21:54.280 so most of the illegal drugs that come into this 1:21:54.400 --> 1:21:57.680 country come over the border. So that's the other thing 1:21:57.760 --> 1:22:02.240 that the wall would help address. So but you know, again, Um, 1:22:03.160 --> 1:22:04.960 you're saying, it's Congress and there's only so much. It 1:22:05.000 --> 1:22:08.240 sounds like from what I'm gathering here, Jessica, that the 1:22:08.520 --> 1:22:11.879 Trump administration, the executive branch, has been good on immigration 1:22:11.960 --> 1:22:14.360 this year. Actually, the Trump has been keeping promises to 1:22:14.400 --> 1:22:17.200 degree that it's in his power to a Congress needs 1:22:17.200 --> 1:22:20.599 to get its button gear. That's right, and they need 1:22:20.680 --> 1:22:23.519 to remember why Trump was elected that in part it 1:22:23.640 --> 1:22:27.280 was because of the promises to address the immigration problems. 1:22:27.720 --> 1:22:29.960 And some of these can only be done that you know. 1:22:30.080 --> 1:22:32.559 They they's got a lot on their plate right now, 1:22:32.640 --> 1:22:35.479 and I don't expect to see any immigration legislation before 1:22:35.560 --> 1:22:38.320 the end of the year, but it better be at 1:22:38.360 --> 1:22:43.040 the top of the list for early in eighteen, because, uh, 1:22:43.360 --> 1:22:45.840 you know, these problems are festering and they need to 1:22:45.880 --> 1:22:49.320 be resolved, and we don't you want to go through uh, 1:22:49.760 --> 1:22:55.160 you know, another terrorist attack or more another influx of 1:22:56.080 --> 1:22:59.880 people from Central America or people of using the asylumces 1:23:00.000 --> 1:23:01.800 them before this gets fixed. They know what to do, 1:23:02.000 --> 1:23:03.920 they just need to do it, and the bills are there. 1:23:04.000 --> 1:23:06.799 The House of Representatives has passed a series of bills 1:23:06.840 --> 1:23:13.000 that would address sanctuaries, gangs, um eitherify for h to 1:23:13.080 --> 1:23:17.080 help employers avoid hiring illegal aliens, and a number of 1:23:17.160 --> 1:23:20.960 other good legislation. It's sitting before the Senate right now, 1:23:21.320 --> 1:23:24.280 and all we need to see some boats on these builds. 1:23:24.640 --> 1:23:27.519 Jessica Vaughan is Director of Policy Studies at the Center 1:23:27.560 --> 1:23:30.160 for Immigration Studies c i S dot org. For all 1:23:30.240 --> 1:23:32.439 of their research, Jessica, thank you so much for joining us. 1:23:33.280 --> 1:23:35.160 Thank you, glad to glad to be with you, and 1:23:35.200 --> 1:23:39.920 have a good weekend you too. Merry Christmas. Christmas. Alright, teams, 1:23:39.960 --> 1:23:43.000 so we're gonna roll into a whole slew of stories 1:23:43.120 --> 1:23:46.080 next the we should come up with, like, I don't know, 1:23:46.640 --> 1:23:49.000 a segment where you do like grab bag or something. 1:23:49.040 --> 1:23:50.439 You know, we just like throw a whole bunch of 1:23:50.479 --> 1:23:53.800 things together. Sometimes Emily's Nadi will be doing in the 1:23:53.880 --> 1:23:55.519 next but Tyrone and I kind of do that on 1:23:55.600 --> 1:23:57.720 a regular basis anyway, just to come up with a 1:23:57.760 --> 1:24:00.200 cool intro because we're doing a whole bunch of new 1:24:00.280 --> 1:24:03.120 stuff with the show starting in eighteen, there's gonna be 1:24:03.720 --> 1:24:09.200 a lot of uh, revamping and you know, redoing and 1:24:09.920 --> 1:24:12.720 making stuff cooler whatever. The best way of saying that is, 1:24:12.760 --> 1:24:15.960 we're gonna be making stuff cooler here on the show. 1:24:16.520 --> 1:24:19.559 So with all that, we've got Emily Zanati from Daily 1:24:19.600 --> 1:24:23.040 Wire next on Chicago and to bar from the President, 1:24:23.160 --> 1:24:25.840 what the heck is going on there? She'll answer it 1:24:26.080 --> 1:24:29.320 stay with me, but a very busy week in the news. 1:24:29.600 --> 1:24:32.320 But there are some stories we have not yet gotten to. 1:24:32.600 --> 1:24:34.519 But that's what we're gonna do now with the help 1:24:34.640 --> 1:24:39.560 of our friend Emily Zanati is Nati, Tom everybody. She 1:24:39.960 --> 1:24:42.640 is a writer for the Daily Wire. Trick out what 1:24:42.840 --> 1:24:45.559 she's got up there at the Daily wire dot com. 1:24:45.880 --> 1:24:48.800 Mrs Nati, good to have you, Thanks for having me 1:24:48.960 --> 1:24:53.400 all right, let's talk first about how Los Angeles wants 1:24:53.479 --> 1:24:57.200 to put shelter animals on a vegan diet. I think 1:24:57.360 --> 1:25:00.839 feeding dogs vegan food is a former of animal cruelty. 1:25:02.000 --> 1:25:06.240 It basically is dogs need protein. They can't manufacture their 1:25:06.240 --> 1:25:10.280 own vitamin D. They have so many dietary requirements that 1:25:10.479 --> 1:25:14.080 it really is basically animal abuse to put them on 1:25:14.280 --> 1:25:17.519 a vegan diet. But apparently l A wants to leave 1:25:17.640 --> 1:25:21.040 the nation in being progressive in their pet treatment, So 1:25:21.160 --> 1:25:24.040 they're asking all of their shelters to ditch the regular 1:25:24.160 --> 1:25:27.599 kibble and put everybody on it all vegan diet because 1:25:27.920 --> 1:25:31.320 animals eating animals just isn't right? Are They just gonna 1:25:31.400 --> 1:25:34.680 blast NPR podcast into the kennel and also make all 1:25:34.760 --> 1:25:38.920 the dogs meet with their life coaches, right like they're 1:25:38.920 --> 1:25:41.360 all going to be assessed for their cultural appropriation on 1:25:41.439 --> 1:25:43.600 the way in their way out. They all need to 1:25:43.680 --> 1:25:47.080 hear cereal, you know, like I was gonna say, what's 1:25:47.120 --> 1:25:48.320 the other one? I was gonna say, the other one 1:25:48.360 --> 1:25:51.280 with that guy is not doing NPR anymore anyway, um, 1:25:51.920 --> 1:25:53.519 and I would also know that you know, I this 1:25:53.680 --> 1:25:56.240 is a complete random note, but it's the third hour 1:25:56.320 --> 1:25:57.680 at least, I feel like we can say whatever we 1:25:57.720 --> 1:26:02.160 want here. I did some reach search into a fox 1:26:02.320 --> 1:26:04.479 as a pet because there's a really cool do you 1:26:04.560 --> 1:26:09.360 know this Instagram account Juniper Fox? Yes, I am familiar. Oh, 1:26:09.520 --> 1:26:11.640 I mean, I'm all about Juniper Fox. And I'm like, 1:26:11.720 --> 1:26:13.760 this is amazing because foxes are so cute and it's 1:26:13.840 --> 1:26:15.400 kind of like a cross between a cat and a 1:26:15.479 --> 1:26:19.320 dog because foxes have retractable claws, and plus they just 1:26:19.400 --> 1:26:24.200 look really cute. Turns out they mark all their territory 1:26:24.439 --> 1:26:26.960 and it smells like skunk and you can't get them 1:26:27.000 --> 1:26:29.320 to stop doing it. And oh, by the way, there's 1:26:29.320 --> 1:26:32.160 a certain chemical I forget what it is, something that's 1:26:32.200 --> 1:26:33.680 in a certain kind of food that you have to 1:26:33.720 --> 1:26:35.680 give them or else they'll go blind and die and 1:26:35.720 --> 1:26:37.320 you have to be very rigorous about it. And I 1:26:37.479 --> 1:26:39.720 was like, that doesn't sound like a good pet for 1:26:39.800 --> 1:26:43.280 me to have. Some of these exotic animals turn out 1:26:43.320 --> 1:26:45.040 to be a lot more work. Like I I have 1:26:45.120 --> 1:26:47.479 a friend who wanted for years to have a wallaby, 1:26:48.120 --> 1:26:51.200 and now she has sounds amazing. I want a wallaby? 1:26:51.240 --> 1:26:52.840 Who's your from with the wallaby? Does she have an 1:26:52.840 --> 1:26:58.880 Instagram account? The wallaby I'm legitimately writing this down right now, 1:26:59.040 --> 1:27:01.120 and I want to follow, Well, be the wallaby. That 1:27:01.160 --> 1:27:05.400 sounds amazing. How's it working out for It's working out okay, 1:27:05.520 --> 1:27:10.000 but's basically I adopted a baby kangaroo and now I 1:27:10.160 --> 1:27:13.760 just have a baby kangaroo. Like it didn't turn out 1:27:13.800 --> 1:27:16.080 as wonderful as she had hoped, but I think it 1:27:16.160 --> 1:27:21.000 turned out as adorable as she had hoped. That is amazing, Okay. 1:27:21.240 --> 1:27:24.320 I mean, I'm excited about this. And another day we'll 1:27:24.360 --> 1:27:26.599 talk about how one day I hope to adopt a wombat. 1:27:26.680 --> 1:27:30.360 But that's a whole separate discussion. So l a vegan diet. 1:27:30.439 --> 1:27:33.200 We got that on our list here. Oh what is 1:27:33.240 --> 1:27:36.920 this about? So you're a Chicago in right, Chicago right? 1:27:36.960 --> 1:27:39.040 Because I and I actually got to see you in Chicago, 1:27:39.120 --> 1:27:41.240 and event was that was exciting. I actually saw Emily 1:27:41.720 --> 1:27:45.559 live and in person. And uh Ram Emmanuel, though has 1:27:45.560 --> 1:27:48.719 declared Chicago at Trump Free city. I feel like there's 1:27:48.720 --> 1:27:51.200 a I feel like there's a you know, a separation 1:27:51.280 --> 1:27:53.960 of powers issues here, or or like the mayor can't 1:27:54.000 --> 1:27:57.479 just banned an American citizen, particularly the president. No, no, 1:27:57.720 --> 1:28:00.800 he can't actually just say that. Donald can't spend a 1:28:00.920 --> 1:28:03.080 night like in his own hotel because we actually have 1:28:03.120 --> 1:28:06.800 a Trump tower in Chicago. Trump on the size, it's 1:28:06.960 --> 1:28:11.360 very prominent, but he mayor und Emmanuel went on Colbert's 1:28:11.400 --> 1:28:14.720 show and was like, oh, we have Chicago is the 1:28:14.800 --> 1:28:17.320 first Trump free city, as though this was going to 1:28:17.400 --> 1:28:19.439 be some sort of selling point for living in Chicago. 1:28:19.960 --> 1:28:22.680 It's the first Trump free city. We're banning him from 1:28:22.720 --> 1:28:27.360 our city limits. No, I mean, alright, fine, but it's 1:28:27.400 --> 1:28:30.960 not exactly like all of Chicago's problems are solved. We 1:28:31.040 --> 1:28:36.680 have a billion dollar budget crisis, we have a where 1:28:36.720 --> 1:28:40.840 the number one city for losing population, so we have 1:28:40.920 --> 1:28:44.320 six hundred homicides. Like I think, we've got bigger things 1:28:44.320 --> 1:28:46.519 to worry about than whether Donald Trump fronts the hotel 1:28:46.600 --> 1:28:51.960 room in Chicago. Trump mentioned in his speech here. He 1:28:52.040 --> 1:28:55.439 mentioned Chicago in the speech play that please Tyrone. Now 1:28:56.040 --> 1:29:00.400 more than ever, we must support the men and women 1:29:00.720 --> 1:29:03.920 in blue. In the last two years, America has seen 1:29:03.960 --> 1:29:09.000 a tragic rise in violent crime. In two thousand and 1:29:09.120 --> 1:29:14.640 fifteen and two thousand and sixteen, we witnessed the steepest 1:29:14.680 --> 1:29:19.800 two year consecutive increase in murders in nearly half a 1:29:19.960 --> 1:29:24.559 century and you look at what's going on in Chicago. 1:29:25.080 --> 1:29:28.439 What the hell is going on in Chicago? What the 1:29:28.560 --> 1:29:32.960 hell is happening there? Uh so, what is going on there? Emily, 1:29:33.000 --> 1:29:36.600 you're there, you're a journalist. He's not wrong. In the 1:29:36.800 --> 1:29:39.240 Times and prom Emmanuel has been mayor, which is just 1:29:39.520 --> 1:29:42.439 a little over four years, we have actually doubled our 1:29:42.520 --> 1:29:46.200 homicide rate and astonishing. So this is it's astonishing and 1:29:46.280 --> 1:29:48.960 it's mostly from game warfare on the South and West sides, 1:29:49.479 --> 1:29:52.639 but we just can't control it. In fact, the actual 1:29:52.960 --> 1:29:56.439 chief of the Police Union went to the White House 1:29:56.640 --> 1:29:59.439 asking for the White House to interfere to do something, 1:29:59.520 --> 1:30:03.040 to offer some sort of federal aid, and Chicago refused it. 1:30:03.520 --> 1:30:08.519 So we're looking at a more than six hundred homicide year. 1:30:08.680 --> 1:30:11.040 Last year, we ended the year with just a little 1:30:11.120 --> 1:30:14.200 over five hundred, So this is a big jump from 1:30:14.640 --> 1:30:18.000 seventeen and something's got to give here soon. We got 1:30:18.040 --> 1:30:20.080 Emily's Nati in the line of the Daily Wire or 1:30:20.200 --> 1:30:24.600 she Chicago Bay. So speaking of all things Chicago and 1:30:24.760 --> 1:30:28.240 Rama Manuel and and his terrible nous. Uh he is 1:30:28.320 --> 1:30:31.920 going to give out I Chicago I d s for 1:30:32.120 --> 1:30:36.000 the quote undocumented and those on the sidelines. What is 1:30:36.080 --> 1:30:40.200 that This is a weird plan on the part of 1:30:40.320 --> 1:30:43.800 Chicago to try to recognize the illegal immigrants who live 1:30:43.880 --> 1:30:46.760 within the city. It's not just enough, apparently that we're 1:30:46.800 --> 1:30:49.960 a sanctuary city that we can take in everybody and 1:30:50.200 --> 1:30:53.519 ICE is not able to ask them their immigration status 1:30:53.680 --> 1:30:57.080 when they're applying for a job or when an ICE 1:30:57.320 --> 1:31:00.360 person knocks on their door. Now we're actually going to 1:31:00.439 --> 1:31:03.680 give them packs I D numbers so they can pay 1:31:03.760 --> 1:31:07.920 city and state and federal taxes and also receive benefits. 1:31:07.960 --> 1:31:10.120 So of course this is going over very well with 1:31:10.200 --> 1:31:13.679 people in Chicago, considering that the city is dead broke 1:31:14.040 --> 1:31:16.879 and not able to pay for its actual school system. 1:31:17.240 --> 1:31:21.120 Now we're talking about potentially extending benefits to people who 1:31:21.240 --> 1:31:24.160 do not have legal status. But I mean, we don't 1:31:24.200 --> 1:31:28.280 want Trump, so obviously that's that's something I guess. So 1:31:28.720 --> 1:31:30.519 all right, so it's Trump free city, but he's given 1:31:30.560 --> 1:31:33.360 out free ideas for all the illegals. One more thing 1:31:33.560 --> 1:31:35.519 I wanted to touch on here because I know you've 1:31:35.560 --> 1:31:40.160 probably got exciting holiday plans in the in the Zanati household. 1:31:40.240 --> 1:31:41.679 Come up, you gotta do you have a last minute 1:31:41.720 --> 1:31:45.320 shopping You've got to get to I have finished my shopping, 1:31:45.680 --> 1:31:47.880 but I'm sure that there's going to be somebody I forgot, 1:31:47.960 --> 1:31:50.639 so I definitely have some last minute shopping. I got 1:31:50.720 --> 1:31:53.799 you all right. Well, one more thing though, just update 1:31:53.920 --> 1:31:57.840 me on Blake Fahrenholt. We didn't get to talk about 1:31:57.920 --> 1:31:59.679 him earlier. We've been talking about some of the sketchy 1:32:00.200 --> 1:32:03.760 and bad dudes out there, uh, and the allegations and 1:32:03.760 --> 1:32:06.160 all that stuff. But what's going on Blake Farrenhold, another 1:32:06.200 --> 1:32:09.360 guy in Congress is in some trouble. Yeah, So Blake 1:32:09.439 --> 1:32:14.200 Farrenhold ended up having to announce his retirement earlier this week. 1:32:14.600 --> 1:32:17.400 He was the subject of an eighty four thousand dollar 1:32:17.520 --> 1:32:21.440 lawsuit that Congress settled on his behalf. It's not necessarily 1:32:21.560 --> 1:32:25.920 sexual harassment. What it really is is a unsafe and 1:32:26.080 --> 1:32:30.679 intimidating work environment. So he's been accused of making dirty jokes, 1:32:31.360 --> 1:32:35.400 of making his employees feel kind of achy when they're 1:32:35.439 --> 1:32:38.840 in his office, making things very difficult for them, and 1:32:39.120 --> 1:32:44.639 one employee actually approached Congress, threatened to sue, and settled 1:32:44.720 --> 1:32:48.840 for eighty four thousand dollars. This past week, another employee, 1:32:49.040 --> 1:32:53.599 former communications director at Farenhold's office, approached the House House 1:32:53.720 --> 1:32:57.599 Ethics Committee and said that he was in an unsafe 1:32:57.640 --> 1:33:00.799 for environment, that he wanted to make a four normal complaint. 1:33:01.120 --> 1:33:03.400 And it was at that point that Fahrenholt just said, 1:33:03.520 --> 1:33:06.519 I think probably more is coming down the line, so 1:33:06.640 --> 1:33:09.640 I'm going to step aside. And he's the first Republican 1:33:09.760 --> 1:33:13.960 we've had, aside from Trent Frank's who also had some 1:33:14.439 --> 1:33:19.880 issues with his staff, to take l Frankins sort of 1:33:20.040 --> 1:33:24.000 lead and leave Congress. So we're looking at perhaps another 1:33:24.240 --> 1:33:27.200 dozen or so accusations like this, so he could only 1:33:27.280 --> 1:33:30.640 be the first of many. Emily's Naughty is at the 1:33:30.720 --> 1:33:32.960 Daily Wire. She's a writer. Check out the Daily wire 1:33:33.120 --> 1:33:36.400 dot com.

But it's gonna make sense, trust me. 1:33:55.280 --> 1:33:57.400 That's coming up. So I want to share a totally 1:33:57.520 --> 1:33:59.880 random story with you for a few minutes. If I can. 1:34:00.040 --> 1:34:04.120 And my little brother is traveling the world right now. 1:34:04.240 --> 1:34:08.160 He's down in on vacation in South Africa, and he's 1:34:08.200 --> 1:34:14.360 just posting all of these incredible photos. South Africa's I've 1:34:14.400 --> 1:34:16.559 heard it's an amazing place. I've never been, but he's 1:34:16.600 --> 1:34:18.920 he's having a great time. He's posting all these photos 1:34:19.000 --> 1:34:22.320 and he's, you know, seeing baby cheetahs in the wild, 1:34:22.720 --> 1:34:25.720 lions and I was gonna say tigers and bears, but 1:34:25.760 --> 1:34:28.479 that's actually not true. He's seeing neither tigers nor bears 1:34:28.520 --> 1:34:32.040 where he is, but lions and giraffes and gazelles and 1:34:32.120 --> 1:34:35.200 all that stuff that you would think, um, you know 1:34:35.320 --> 1:34:38.880 ward Hog, Like, was Pumba Tim own Amy the ward Hog? 1:34:39.040 --> 1:34:42.280 Do we know Tim the lion King? Come on? One 1:34:42.280 --> 1:34:45.360 of them was oh gosh, yeah, you this is your generation. 1:34:45.400 --> 1:34:46.840 You're supposed to know this one. All right. I'll let 1:34:46.840 --> 1:34:49.280 I'll let it slide this time. But anyway, there's a 1:34:49.439 --> 1:34:52.000 there's a ward that she's sent ward Hog photos. And 1:34:53.000 --> 1:34:54.840 but I'm one thing that I thought, and my little 1:34:54.880 --> 1:34:59.840 brother is a very intrepid fellow. I've always wanted to 1:34:59.880 --> 1:35:02.120 do that thing where you get into a cage. I 1:35:02.200 --> 1:35:04.160 know there's some people like, that's so dumb, buck, what's 1:35:04.200 --> 1:35:06.439 wrong with you? But I think it sounds cool to 1:35:06.520 --> 1:35:10.320 get into one of those cages where you have the 1:35:10.400 --> 1:35:14.160 great white sharks that come up close to the cage, Like, 1:35:14.280 --> 1:35:16.280 I just figure that looks pretty cool, right, What is 1:35:17.000 --> 1:35:19.240 you think of? And people will say to car carroden 1:35:19.320 --> 1:35:23.599 carcarious Latin name for the great white sharks, scientific name, uh, 1:35:24.160 --> 1:35:27.360 it's the apex predator, like nothing could ever match the 1:35:28.520 --> 1:35:31.160 the might and fury in the sea of of the 1:35:31.280 --> 1:35:35.400 great white. And it turns out that's not true, and 1:35:35.520 --> 1:35:39.679 that actually affects whether or not you can go see 1:35:39.760 --> 1:35:42.240 great whites anymore in South Africa. So so the biggest 1:35:42.680 --> 1:35:45.559 whites they call them white pointers, I believe, in either 1:35:45.640 --> 1:35:48.439 South Africa or Australia, but the biggest ones tend to 1:35:48.560 --> 1:35:52.719 be off of Australia and also actually off the coast 1:35:52.760 --> 1:35:55.680 of California, some really big great white sharks out there. 1:35:55.720 --> 1:35:57.160 I have a little sister, by the way, who's like 1:35:57.160 --> 1:36:00.439 an amateur shark expert, a lawyer, yes, but also an 1:36:00.479 --> 1:36:05.160 amateur shark expert. And the great whites off South Africa 1:36:05.240 --> 1:36:08.600 tend to be more aerial and acrobatic, and there was 1:36:08.640 --> 1:36:12.000 a very well established population of them, and people could 1:36:12.040 --> 1:36:13.960 get in those in the dive cage. You do any 1:36:14.080 --> 1:36:15.640 much experience, he basically just had to be able to 1:36:15.720 --> 1:36:18.080 breathe through the apparatus. You get in there, you're in 1:36:18.120 --> 1:36:20.040 a big steel cage, and you see the white sharks, right, 1:36:20.080 --> 1:36:22.599 and it sounds really cool. But but my brother can't 1:36:22.680 --> 1:36:25.640 do it. And he he thought about doing it. But 1:36:25.800 --> 1:36:28.800 it turns out that the whole notion of the great 1:36:28.840 --> 1:36:31.960 white shark as the absolute apex predator of the seed 1:36:32.040 --> 1:36:36.040 is not true. In fact, there's a big problem right 1:36:36.120 --> 1:36:40.400 now off of South Africa because as crazy as this is, 1:36:40.920 --> 1:36:45.639 white sharks are being killed off. White sharks are being 1:36:45.840 --> 1:36:50.360 killed off by killer whales, and in fact, not only 1:36:50.479 --> 1:36:55.040 are the killer whales uh killing the gray white sharks, 1:36:55.680 --> 1:36:59.920 they are almost with it's been described as with surge 1:37:00.040 --> 1:37:04.960 in like precision, removing the shark's liver because that is 1:37:05.040 --> 1:37:09.439 the most nutrient dense part of the shark. People have 1:37:09.560 --> 1:37:11.080 been saying that that, you know, there have been some 1:37:11.200 --> 1:37:16.040 researchers that are are seeing this and they've never seen 1:37:16.080 --> 1:37:17.800 anything like this before. I mean that The New York 1:37:17.840 --> 1:37:21.360 Post describe some of the theories of how this is 1:37:22.360 --> 1:37:24.439 how this has happening. Where they find the bodies, they 1:37:24.520 --> 1:37:27.599 find the washed up carcasses, and it's clearly the only 1:37:27.680 --> 1:37:30.160 thing that could be doing this, and it's also different 1:37:30.479 --> 1:37:33.599 bite marks, and uh, you know, they they have ways, 1:37:33.760 --> 1:37:37.120 you know, hashtag science, right, They've got ways through marine 1:37:37.160 --> 1:37:40.000 biology stuff of figuring this out. But here's the theory. 1:37:40.280 --> 1:37:41.760 This from the New York Post a couple of days ago. 1:37:42.040 --> 1:37:45.679 One theory is that Orca's shut down all communication, sneak 1:37:45.800 --> 1:37:48.639 up and stun the shark by slapping it with its massive, 1:37:48.720 --> 1:37:51.840 powerful tail. Then it flips the shark on its back, 1:37:52.280 --> 1:37:56.240 causing momentary paralysis, and pushes the shark through the water 1:37:56.360 --> 1:37:59.920 until it suffocates. The orca finishes off the attack by 1:38:00.120 --> 1:38:03.080 carefully tearing open a hole in the shark to remove 1:38:03.240 --> 1:38:08.080 the liver, the largest and most nutrient rich oregan. Uh 1:38:08.200 --> 1:38:09.640 So they've only had a hand that's the end of 1:38:09.640 --> 1:38:11.280 the quote there. But they've only had a few white 1:38:11.320 --> 1:38:14.200 sharks wash up on the beach with the liver removed 1:38:14.240 --> 1:38:16.479 in this way. But they can't they're not seeing as 1:38:16.520 --> 1:38:19.000 many sharks out there, which means that white shark tourism 1:38:19.120 --> 1:38:22.680 is way down too. And it's because they think that 1:38:23.400 --> 1:38:25.479 there's like a pot of killer whales out there that 1:38:25.600 --> 1:38:28.120 just the the baddest dudes in the ocean, and they're 1:38:28.200 --> 1:38:30.960 just killing white sharks, which is pretty incredible when you 1:38:31.040 --> 1:38:33.519 think about it. Um. I will note that there was 1:38:33.520 --> 1:38:37.160 actually a really really bad horror movie that I saw 1:38:38.040 --> 1:38:39.960 here in New York on like the local I think 1:38:39.960 --> 1:38:41.800 it was w P I X eleven, which used to 1:38:41.840 --> 1:38:46.000 have all these uh kind of B level movies that 1:38:46.040 --> 1:38:47.680 would run all the time, and I would watch them, 1:38:48.400 --> 1:38:51.439 and the Orca. The movie was called Orca, and it 1:38:51.520 --> 1:38:54.439 was about a killer whale that goes rogue and and 1:38:54.479 --> 1:38:56.040 it's eating It's sort of like Jaws, but with a 1:38:56.120 --> 1:38:59.960 killer whale. And what's that that doesn't happen really? I mean, 1:39:00.040 --> 1:39:01.880 there have been some incidents with people in whales, but 1:39:02.080 --> 1:39:04.840 when they're in captivity, and that's a whole other discussion. 1:39:05.920 --> 1:39:07.880 But what you find out when you actually do a 1:39:07.920 --> 1:39:11.000 little research on these guys is that they're a lot bigger, heavier, 1:39:11.080 --> 1:39:14.240 and more powerful than sharks and a whole lot smarter. 1:39:15.080 --> 1:39:17.080 And that's pretty crazy. So anyway, my little brother is 1:39:17.120 --> 1:39:19.960 not diving with white sharks because they in South Africa 1:39:20.080 --> 1:39:26.439 can't find them because killer whales are like snipers in 1:39:26.520 --> 1:39:30.200 the ocean, knocking them out and taking their livers. That's 1:39:30.240 --> 1:39:33.000 pretty intent stuff I know has nothing to do with Christmas. 1:39:33.080 --> 1:39:35.280 And you're like, Buck, what is this story? I just 1:39:35.360 --> 1:39:38.960 thought it was really interesting. I still think it's really interesting. Man. 1:39:39.680 --> 1:39:41.760 I guess I won't get a chance to swim with 1:39:41.920 --> 1:39:43.920 white sharks anytime soon. If I go down to South 1:39:43.960 --> 1:39:48.960 Africa anyway. They travel sweeter, that's what we call them. 1:39:49.280 --> 1:39:52.200 And Uh, I'll be back with some team, Buck speaks 1:39:52.360 --> 1:39:54.840 in just a few minutes. Stay with me. Well, Team, 1:39:54.920 --> 1:39:57.840 it's a snowy night here in New York City, so 1:39:58.000 --> 1:40:01.000 I'm getting ready to close up shop in the Freedom 1:40:01.080 --> 1:40:07.040 Hut and trudge through the accumulation of UH sludge that 1:40:07.040 --> 1:40:08.840 will be on the streets, no doubt waiting for me. 1:40:08.960 --> 1:40:12.320 Tyrone and I were talking Amy too. We didn't see 1:40:12.360 --> 1:40:15.680 this one coming. I usually when there's major weather that's 1:40:15.680 --> 1:40:17.720 gonna hit the East Coast, the media is like, oh 1:40:17.840 --> 1:40:22.719 my gosh, there's gotta be weather. But this time around, 1:40:22.760 --> 1:40:25.400 there was no. I didn't see any warning on anything. 1:40:25.680 --> 1:40:28.680 I guess there was enough actual news to fill the 1:40:28.760 --> 1:40:31.880 news cycle this week, so I was caught surprised. Anyway, 1:40:31.920 --> 1:40:34.800 it's gonna be a nice weekend to be snowed in. 1:40:35.600 --> 1:40:37.720 I'm gonna get into some team buck speaks in just 1:40:37.880 --> 1:40:40.320 a moment here. I wanted to tell you though, that 1:40:40.840 --> 1:40:43.880 we have been putting in motion some pieces on the 1:40:43.960 --> 1:40:49.599 History podcast. First episode will drop of shield Ye. First 1:40:49.640 --> 1:40:55.840 episode will drop on January eight, barring any unforeseen technical difficulties. 1:40:56.240 --> 1:40:58.360 So that'll be the first one, and I can tell 1:40:58.360 --> 1:41:04.320 you it'll be the battle of two French Charles Martel 1:41:04.760 --> 1:41:10.120 the Hammer dropping the Hammer against the conquest by the 1:41:11.560 --> 1:41:15.400 Islamic Empire. So we'll talk about that. That'll be fun. 1:41:15.720 --> 1:41:17.519 That'll be remember. That'll be separate from the show. So 1:41:17.560 --> 1:41:19.560 those of you who like history, you just have to 1:41:19.600 --> 1:41:23.799 subscribe to this show. However you listen to podcasts, iTunes 1:41:23.920 --> 1:41:26.400 is a great one. There are others Google Play and Stitcher, 1:41:26.520 --> 1:41:28.040 and I don't know if we're on so we're not 1:41:28.080 --> 1:41:30.320 on SoundCloud, right, We're only on Stitcher, is that right? 1:41:30.720 --> 1:41:32.320 I know we're on Google Play, and I know we're 1:41:32.360 --> 1:41:34.559 on iTunes, so those are good ones. And of course 1:41:34.600 --> 1:41:37.120 the I Heart app that allows you to listen to 1:41:37.280 --> 1:41:40.360 anything we do here in the hut, but that'll be exciting. 1:41:40.600 --> 1:41:42.800 It's a lot of a lot of work in the 1:41:42.840 --> 1:41:44.639 new year, but I'm looking forward to It's kind of work. 1:41:44.680 --> 1:41:46.200 I like, I'm gonna be on the beach with Molly 1:41:46.240 --> 1:41:47.920 in a couple of weeks and she's given like, are 1:41:47.960 --> 1:41:50.760 you reading stuff that's like for vacation, and I'll be 1:41:50.880 --> 1:41:53.320 like yes, and it'll be like and then the janissaries 1:41:53.400 --> 1:41:55.920 ripped the heads off of the nights templar blah blah, 1:41:55.920 --> 1:41:58.560 and be like, whoa, It's crazy. That actually would have 1:41:58.600 --> 1:42:00.160 never happened to some of you know, but you know 1:42:00.200 --> 1:42:05.240 what I'm saying. So uh, let's get into Oh wait, no, 1:42:05.360 --> 1:42:07.719 one more thing. I have a house guest this weekend. 1:42:08.320 --> 1:42:11.040 A friend of Ms Molly's is staying with us, a 1:42:11.200 --> 1:42:14.080 friend of hers from for many, many years ago, and 1:42:14.680 --> 1:42:19.280 I am uh looking forward to it. I yeah, right, 1:42:19.360 --> 1:42:21.800 you gotta be just the one thing. I never liked 1:42:21.920 --> 1:42:25.280 being a house guest. This is just a weird idiosyncrasy 1:42:25.360 --> 1:42:29.240 about me. I've never been comfortable really staying in other 1:42:29.280 --> 1:42:32.599 people's homes, no matter how nice they are, no matter 1:42:33.479 --> 1:42:35.919 what they try to do to make me feel comfortable. 1:42:36.400 --> 1:42:40.000 I'm always polite and I try to be a good 1:42:40.080 --> 1:42:42.720 house guest. But I just I just always I like 1:42:42.840 --> 1:42:45.280 to be in my own space, or i'd like to 1:42:45.320 --> 1:42:47.599 be in my space or paying people for the space. 1:42:47.680 --> 1:42:49.920 I mean, I I don't generally like to be a 1:42:50.800 --> 1:42:53.400 house guest. It's just not something that some people love it. 1:42:53.439 --> 1:42:55.360 You know, they want to crash with their buddies. I've 1:42:55.400 --> 1:42:58.519 got friends my age thirty five, and over the holidays 1:42:58.520 --> 1:43:02.120 they'll still go crash out on somebody's couch somewhere and 1:43:02.320 --> 1:43:07.280 they love that. They like that, you know, adult sleep over, Netflix, 1:43:07.520 --> 1:43:10.280 binge vibe you get from just staying at your buddy's 1:43:10.280 --> 1:43:13.000 place out in the living room. I don't like to 1:43:13.320 --> 1:43:15.560 even with a guest bedroom, even if I have a 1:43:16.560 --> 1:43:19.639 guest shellet waiting for me or a little guest cottage, 1:43:19.880 --> 1:43:22.880 whatever fancy terms are the people used for this stuff. 1:43:23.400 --> 1:43:25.880 Um still, I don't know being a house guest. And 1:43:25.920 --> 1:43:27.640 I agree, what's that? What's the old thing about how 1:43:27.760 --> 1:43:31.800 house guests are like fish? They start to stink after 1:43:31.960 --> 1:43:34.000 is it three days or four days? I think it's 1:43:34.080 --> 1:43:36.759 three days, but that sounds about right to me. Amy, 1:43:36.800 --> 1:43:39.760 it's a three days. You've never heard this my old 1:43:39.840 --> 1:43:42.200 man wisdom really just because it's like a generational she 1:43:42.280 --> 1:43:44.360 doesn't want to say it. There's a generational gap here, 1:43:44.400 --> 1:43:46.760 so I know, you know, I use words like an 1:43:46.760 --> 1:43:50.240 income poop, and that's just not part of the jargon 1:43:50.320 --> 1:43:52.680 of of Amy's part of the younger generation. So that 1:43:52.760 --> 1:43:55.760 doesn't really doesn't really happy much. Sometimes I do have 1:43:55.880 --> 1:43:57.920 to yell get off my lawn in here, just to 1:43:57.960 --> 1:44:04.280 remind everybody that you know, I'm technically but I feel 1:44:04.320 --> 1:44:06.680 I feel sixty. Sometimes Tyrone and I are about the 1:44:06.720 --> 1:44:09.680 same age though, so Tyrone, but Tyrone's wisdom comes through 1:44:09.720 --> 1:44:11.840 all the time, so that's not surprising to any of you. 1:44:12.280 --> 1:44:14.880 All Right, here we go. Um, we got some team 1:44:14.920 --> 1:44:18.559 Buck speaks coming in. Michael with the following, you've never 1:44:18.640 --> 1:44:21.000 been skiing, I think you do live under a rock 1:44:21.160 --> 1:44:24.599 in the Bronx Zoo. You want a real workout, try 1:44:24.760 --> 1:44:27.960 cross country skiing. You want to learn it, go to 1:44:28.120 --> 1:44:32.920 the Waterville Valley Resort in New Hampshire. Uh, my son 1:44:33.320 --> 1:44:35.439 is there. He runs the Nordic Center and he'll hook 1:44:35.439 --> 1:44:38.040 it up. Other than perhaps a pulled muscler to you're 1:44:38.080 --> 1:44:40.800 way less likely to get hurt doing Nordic alpine. You 1:44:40.880 --> 1:44:44.840 can actually get seriously hurt. Yeah, I will tell you that. 1:44:45.800 --> 1:44:46.920 For those of you who are like, oh, have you've 1:44:46.960 --> 1:44:49.840 never been skiing? I saw because I grew up in 1:44:50.000 --> 1:44:51.760 New York, and I think it was a bigger thing 1:44:51.920 --> 1:44:55.479 in my youth for people from Manhattan to go skiing. 1:44:55.640 --> 1:44:58.640 I I don't know. I don't see it as much now. Um, 1:44:59.000 --> 1:45:02.120 I don't see as people around me. I don't know. 1:45:02.160 --> 1:45:03.879 Maybe it's because I don't ski. I don't know skiers. 1:45:04.520 --> 1:45:06.600 But I saw so many people that would have a 1:45:06.680 --> 1:45:08.960 giant cast on their leg when they come back from 1:45:09.080 --> 1:45:13.400 vacation from a skiing accident. So maybe cross country is 1:45:13.479 --> 1:45:15.519 the way to go. I'd be willing to check that out. 1:45:16.240 --> 1:45:18.920 I have been doing. You know, one thing that I've 1:45:19.000 --> 1:45:21.679 worked into my routine that people say is so good 1:45:21.960 --> 1:45:24.920 and I'm I kind of don't buy it yet, but 1:45:25.160 --> 1:45:27.400 they say it's is kettle bell swings. Do you ever 1:45:27.479 --> 1:45:30.280 do your kettle bell swings? They say, it's uh, from 1:45:30.360 --> 1:45:34.640 a from a metabolic perspective, it's almost as good as 1:45:34.720 --> 1:45:37.639 doing wind sprints, and with wind sprints is basically number one. 1:45:37.960 --> 1:45:41.320 The kettle bells is like right below jump rope. And 1:45:41.360 --> 1:45:43.639 I mean in terms of your metabolic. It's really good. Yeah, 1:45:43.680 --> 1:45:46.080 Tyrone's giving me the thumbs up on that one. It's hard, 1:45:46.479 --> 1:45:48.439 but I just kind of feel like, I don't know 1:45:48.520 --> 1:45:50.719 how could this. I gotta do it more. I gotta 1:45:50.760 --> 1:45:52.640 do it more, all right, So maybe I'll add some 1:45:52.880 --> 1:45:56.120 cross country skiing into the mix, or what about snowshoeing. 1:45:57.160 --> 1:45:59.400 There we go to note that some of you took 1:45:59.439 --> 1:46:02.240 my advice and saw a wind River and liked it 1:46:02.360 --> 1:46:04.280 very much. I got those notes as well. Wind River 1:46:04.520 --> 1:46:07.720 very good movie. Intense and disturbing, but very very good. 1:46:07.800 --> 1:46:10.719 I think well done for what it is. Uh, let's 1:46:11.040 --> 1:46:14.479 get to the latest, Stanton. Right, So if you come 1:46:14.520 --> 1:46:16.599 to Utah, I'll teach you how to snowboard buck. We've 1:46:16.600 --> 1:46:20.080 got the greatest snow on Earth. Well, Stanton, I can 1:46:20.160 --> 1:46:24.599 tell you that is a very compelling offer. The one 1:46:24.720 --> 1:46:28.920 place I've been in the United States where it felt like, wow, 1:46:29.520 --> 1:46:34.800 there's a whole lot of consolidated, congregated team buck with 1:46:34.880 --> 1:46:37.719 Salt Lake City, Utah. I was like walking around the streets, 1:46:37.720 --> 1:46:40.160 people like back and I was like, hey, they're like back. 1:46:40.280 --> 1:46:42.400 I was like, what's going on? You know? That was 1:46:42.560 --> 1:46:46.360 that was fun because obviously working at the blaze uh 1:46:46.479 --> 1:46:50.240 and with Glenn there with Glenn as the the guy. Uh. 1:46:50.840 --> 1:46:54.599 Salt Lake City was a very friendly venue for us. 1:46:54.600 --> 1:46:56.720 I remember went out there for the Man on the 1:46:56.760 --> 1:46:58.400 Moon event and I was in. I would just go 1:46:58.520 --> 1:47:00.479 to like a little random cafe or something to get 1:47:00.520 --> 1:47:03.479 a coffee and they're nice ladies, like hello, and I 1:47:03.560 --> 1:47:05.840 was like, oh, hello, nice ladies and we're having a 1:47:05.920 --> 1:47:08.320 good time. All right. Anyway, Yeah, I'd love to come 1:47:08.320 --> 1:47:10.320 out to Utah at some point, but I'm going to 1:47:10.360 --> 1:47:12.200 the beach in a few weeks, so that's good. I'm 1:47:12.200 --> 1:47:16.040 gonna be off the grid at the beach reading history 1:47:16.080 --> 1:47:18.320 books so that I can do my history podcast really well. 1:47:18.400 --> 1:47:23.080 All right, Uh, here we have Alan writing in. You 1:47:23.120 --> 1:47:25.400 were saying that Today's shows ratings were up, and I 1:47:25.439 --> 1:47:28.680 think it's because everyone loves a train wreck. Now at 1:47:28.720 --> 1:47:30.560 the ratings stay up, then you'll have a point. But 1:47:30.720 --> 1:47:33.280 right now, I think it's too early to tell. Uh. 1:47:34.600 --> 1:47:37.720 And I will say Tyrone yesterday made the same point. 1:47:37.760 --> 1:47:40.120 I think you guys are probably right at this. Right now, 1:47:40.200 --> 1:47:41.760 it's kind of like, oh wow, the Today's show is 1:47:41.800 --> 1:47:43.680 it gonna fall apart? And so people tune in to 1:47:43.720 --> 1:47:46.439 see if it's gonna fall apart when Laur leaves. But 1:47:46.479 --> 1:47:49.400 I still guy's not worth twenty five million dollars. Maybe 1:47:49.439 --> 1:47:51.400 he's worth five million dollars. He's not worth twenty five 1:47:51.439 --> 1:47:54.920 million dollars. That's just nonsense. Um. And then Alan also 1:47:54.960 --> 1:47:59.519 wrote in OMG, buck uh you got he man's castle 1:47:59.840 --> 1:48:02.720 is Castle Gray Skill. You're killing me. Yeah, that's right. 1:48:02.760 --> 1:48:05.360 I got My parents got me a long time ago. 1:48:05.400 --> 1:48:07.320 They got me Castle Gray Skull. I still remember it. 1:48:07.320 --> 1:48:10.880 I was like, oh my gosh, cash all my life 1:48:10.920 --> 1:48:13.640 has called played. I thought it was amazing because like 1:48:13.840 --> 1:48:16.800 when you're a kid too, even though now I feel 1:48:16.840 --> 1:48:19.160 like the best presidents are small, right, the best presence 1:48:19.160 --> 1:48:24.000 would be electronics stuff for you. I don't know. Some 1:48:24.080 --> 1:48:26.840 of the ladies like handbags. I guess that's for people 1:48:26.840 --> 1:48:29.040 who are not little kids. But I don't know. I 1:48:29.040 --> 1:48:30.640 don't know. I don't know what kids like. The point is, 1:48:30.960 --> 1:48:34.280 I just remember the bigger the present, and the more 1:48:34.360 --> 1:48:36.120 you had to like get in there and get up 1:48:36.160 --> 1:48:38.719 to your elbows and wrapping paper and just like wow, 1:48:38.960 --> 1:48:40.760 just go crazy and take it take it all off. 1:48:41.720 --> 1:48:45.320 The present that was like the ones you're really excited about, right, 1:48:45.320 --> 1:48:47.920 you needed one big present, even if it wasn't the 1:48:48.000 --> 1:48:51.160 most awesome thing that you were actually gonna use. I 1:48:51.200 --> 1:48:53.439 remember the biggest president I ever saw under the Sexton 1:48:53.520 --> 1:48:56.000 family tree was my mom got my sister at Dollhouse. 1:48:56.280 --> 1:49:00.920 That was gigantic. Anyway, what else do we have in here? 1:49:01.120 --> 1:49:04.680 Jeffrey rights in. You were talking on spices on the 1:49:04.720 --> 1:49:07.559 show I was listening to this morning. I recently discovered 1:49:07.600 --> 1:49:13.360 a new one Weaver's Dutch Country Farm dust seasoning. Okay, 1:49:14.080 --> 1:49:16.679 thank you, Jeffrey. I will check out this new spice. 1:49:16.840 --> 1:49:21.800 That is Ah, that is exciting. I'm looking forward to it. Uh, 1:49:21.920 --> 1:49:26.280 let's see we got here next. One Bow, Bow and Buck. 1:49:26.520 --> 1:49:28.840 Sounds like a sounds like a show where we get 1:49:28.880 --> 1:49:32.200 out there and hang out in America. Do some bass fishing? 1:49:32.520 --> 1:49:34.240 I did. I will tell you I did a lot 1:49:34.280 --> 1:49:37.280 of bass fishing growing up. My dad used to take 1:49:37.600 --> 1:49:40.360 me and my brothers and we would go out and 1:49:41.160 --> 1:49:44.360 just hit little ponds all around upstate New York and 1:49:44.520 --> 1:49:47.040 bass was like that was the exciting fish. Usually it 1:49:47.280 --> 1:49:51.400 was uh, perch and bluegill and you know, a little 1:49:51.840 --> 1:49:53.960 and a little kind of junk fish. But they're fun too. 1:49:53.960 --> 1:49:55.360 When you're a little kid, man, you get it. You 1:49:55.400 --> 1:49:58.360 get like a a quarter pound perch on that on 1:49:58.439 --> 1:50:01.040 your little rod, and you're like, oh man, it's amazing. 1:50:01.160 --> 1:50:03.120 You know you're fighting that thing. I'm talking like when 1:50:03.120 --> 1:50:05.439 you're seven eight years old. I could post some photos 1:50:05.479 --> 1:50:07.599 of this. We still have photos of us all going 1:50:07.680 --> 1:50:10.320 fishing with these these tiny little fish. But occasion my 1:50:10.400 --> 1:50:12.479 dad would pull up like a four or five pound, 1:50:13.120 --> 1:50:15.960 you know, small mouth bass or something, and that was 1:50:16.040 --> 1:50:17.920 like a monster. I was like, is it gonna eat me? 1:50:18.240 --> 1:50:20.080 It was like so big to me, because you know, 1:50:20.280 --> 1:50:23.640 that's yeah, is the opposite effect of what happened when 1:50:23.680 --> 1:50:27.040 I went as alligator not hunting, but alligator sit seeing 1:50:27.120 --> 1:50:29.400 with Molly, and I was like, that's the that's the alligator. 1:50:29.479 --> 1:50:31.840 I I feel like I could pick it up and 1:50:31.880 --> 1:50:33.400 put it in a put it in my bathtub at 1:50:33.439 --> 1:50:34.800 home and it would have plenty of room. I was 1:50:34.880 --> 1:50:40.000 expecting something a little more dinosaur like. Anyway, Bow, Bow, 1:50:40.080 --> 1:50:43.040 and Buck pardon me for the digression. Bow, I'm with you, Buck. 1:50:43.120 --> 1:50:46.000 I never like laur or Kuric either, for that matter. 1:50:46.360 --> 1:50:49.519 They're both disingenuous phonies. And the reason I haven't watched 1:50:49.600 --> 1:50:52.760 any so called morning news program in years. Thanks for 1:50:52.880 --> 1:50:56.200 keeping it real Shields high well bow. Clearly you are correct, 1:50:56.680 --> 1:51:01.560 and clearly they are disingenuous phonies, and I I have 1:51:01.680 --> 1:51:04.360 it on good authority not nice as well, which I 1:51:04.439 --> 1:51:08.919 always think is such a yeah, such a an important 1:51:08.960 --> 1:51:12.240 indicator of everything. Is somebody really nice or not a 1:51:12.320 --> 1:51:14.920 lot of people say that there are folks in media 1:51:15.000 --> 1:51:16.720 they dealt with or nice, But you got to really 1:51:16.760 --> 1:51:18.479 spend time around them, you know, can't just be all 1:51:18.520 --> 1:51:21.200 I met them once in the green room for two seconds. Uh. 1:51:21.360 --> 1:51:23.880 You know, there's one day maybe I'll tell you. I 1:51:23.920 --> 1:51:27.760 wouldn't tell you who's mean in media necessarily, though maybe 1:51:27.760 --> 1:51:29.240 I would, but I would definitely tell you who's like 1:51:29.439 --> 1:51:32.719 really really nice, like a truly there's some really truly 1:51:32.800 --> 1:51:37.880 decent people in the world of media. So maybe one day, 1:51:38.000 --> 1:51:39.639 maybe it's like a little Christmas thing. Next week, I'll 1:51:39.640 --> 1:51:41.200 be like, you know, who's on my super nice list, 1:51:41.560 --> 1:51:44.200 and Santa should bring them all the presence in the world. Um, 1:51:44.720 --> 1:51:47.160 all right, I'm gonna close it up shop here in 1:51:47.439 --> 1:51:50.439 the Freedom Hut. Have a great weekend, everybody. Next week 1:51:50.720 --> 1:51:52.600 we'll have some fun and some holiday theme stuff. To 1:51:52.680 --> 1:51:54.840 be sure to tune in shields, high
