Is Maduro going to be out in Venezuela? 6 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: And then do the Democrats have a serious contender yet 7 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: of the twenty or so to take President Trump's place 8 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: in the next election. We'll break down what's happened with 9 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: Biden and Harris and all the rests coming up on 10 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: the Buck Sexon Show.

I hope you had a fantastic weekend. 16 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: We got a lot to get to you today, a 17 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: lot of national security stuff. Will be joined by my 18 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: friend David fun and then Tony Shay, Lieutenant Colonel Tony 19 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: Schaefer's We've got much much to discuss. But there was 20 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: a little bit of a of a panic, I think 21 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: in some of the Democrat quarters here in the Swamp 22 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: and across the country more broadly, at the recognition that 23 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: if things continue as they are right now, Trump's gonna win. 24 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: He's gonna win. He's got an approval rating today, according 25 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: to Gallup, at a new high of forty six percent. 26 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: And you look at what's happened with the economy under 27 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: the president, and then you start to juxtapose that, you 28 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: compare that to what the Democrats told us was going 29 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: to happen if in fact Trump became president, and not 30 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: only is it not a disaster, but it has actually 31 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: been incredibly strong. Things are going very very well. And 32 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: so there's a struggle on the left to find some narrative. 33 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: Why should people be so dissatisfied with this president? You've 34 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: got one point two million more job openings than unemployed 35 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: in the country. What are people supposed to What are 36 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: people supposed to come up with as the storyline of 37 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: why this is so awful? You know? How do the 38 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: Democrats sell this idea to people that Trump needs to go, 39 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: we need to put Bernie Sanders in place. Would you 40 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: risk I mean, I really ask you would you risk 41 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: the value of your home. Would you risk the strength 42 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: of your four oh one k your healthcare plan on 43 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders being a better steward of the economy at 44 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: this point than Donald Trump. Could any serious person really 45 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: make that case right now? I think at least maybe 46 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: a serious person could, but it wouldn't be a very 47 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: serious case. That's where we are, and that's why when 48 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: you look at the candidates for the the Democrat candidate that 49 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: are lining up, I think a lot of them are 50 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: just trying to play a bit to the left wing 51 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: base to get enough of a number going that they're 52 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: in contention. But they don't yet have the narrative. They 53 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: don't yet have the storyline as to why they should 54 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: why they should replace Trump. Some of them may have 55 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: really been hoping all along that the Mueller probe was 56 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: going to do their work for them, that Trump would 57 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: be so damaged when that report was finally released that 58 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be necessary to have a compelling Why why 59 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: should somebody vote for any of these Democrats that are 60 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: aspiring to run against Trump over the current president? What 61 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: is the real reason for it? Oh? Because of Trump's 62 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: Twitter habits, because of the way that he speaks about 63 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: the press. My favorite thing really about Trump is the 64 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: way he speaks about the press, to be honest with you, 65 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: the way that he takes the fight to them and 66 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: does not allow them to be this this really nasty 67 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: group of untalented, snickering high school students who all just 68 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: cover each other's back and say the same things, think 69 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: the same things. A lot of group think. That Trump 70 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: holds them to account is one of my favorite things 71 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: about this president. But you look at the crew that 72 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: has been assembled to try and oppose him, the people 73 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: that they're offering up and Joe Biden is He calls 74 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: Trump a clown, which I think is so funny. Psychologists 75 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: would call that projection. I mean, Joe Biden is a clown. 76 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: There's nothing about Joe Biden that is impressive. There's nothing 77 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: about Joe Biden that makes you think, Wow, this is 78 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: somebody that I would want to have on my debate team, 79 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: or have my back in a bar fight, or you know, 80 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: you name it, performing surgery on me, writing a speech 81 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: for me. Joe Biden is a man who's only talent 82 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: is advancing the career prospects in political office of Joe 83 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: Biden and beyond that, he's quite a weird guy. They've 84 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: tried to tell us for a long time, and you know, 85 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: he's the primary competitor Trump right now. They've tried to 86 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: tell us for a long time that he's so kind 87 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: of charming and oh, you know, Joe is a great 88 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: guy because of this and that, and he's so funny 89 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: and he's like your crazy uncle with the No, that's 90 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: the spin, that's the storyline that they want you too, 91 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: except they want you to believe, but it's not rooted 92 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: in reality. He's a weird guy. And as they look 93 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: more into some of his dealings in the past than 94 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: I think some of his family dealings, some of what 95 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: he has done for his own family members used his 96 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: office to their benefit. It's going to get very hard 97 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: to get past the whiff of corruption and self dealing 98 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: from the Biden clan. But I saw this over the weekend. 99 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: This I had never seen this video before. If Joe Biden. 100 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: This is from two thousand and seven, So this isn't 101 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: some thirty year old clip that we dredged up for you. 102 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: This is from two thousand and seven. This is the 103 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: Democrat front runner for the presidency in twenty twenty. Who 104 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: is just He's just going to tell you about what 105 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: he spent his summer doing. And I think you need 106 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: to hear this for yourself. Play clip five Joe Biden summer. 107 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: There's neglect in the part of the medical and the 108 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: white community focusing on educating the minority community out there. 109 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: I spent last summer going through the black sections of 110 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: my town, holding rallies in parks, trying to get black 111 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: men to understand is not unmanly to wear a condom, 112 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: getting women understand they can say no, getting people in 113 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: the position where testing matters. I got tested for age. 114 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: I know Barack got tested for age. There's no shame 115 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: in being testifage. It's an important thing because the fact 116 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: of the matter is in the community and the community's 117 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: engaged in denial. They're engaged in denial. No one wants 118 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: to talk about it in the community, and we do 119 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: not have enough leaders in the community and outside the 120 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: community demanding we face the reality, confront the men in 121 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: the community as well as the women, letting them know 122 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: there are alternatives. Thank you. Joe Biden claims there, all right, 123 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: I'm you heard it. I'm not I'm not getting creative 124 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: here with with some transcript or. Joe Biden claims back 125 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven that he was quote going 126 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: through the black sections of my town trying to get 127 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,679 Speaker 1: black men to understand it's not unmanly to wear a condom. 128 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: What what the heck is like? What is wow? This 129 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: is Joe Biden though when he's not doing this, which 130 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: I understand he's talking about maybe trying to do, you know, 131 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: HIV prevention or something, but just the way that he 132 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: discusses these issues, the way that he holds himself up 133 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: as somebody that can just relate to anybody. No, he's 134 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: a weird guy. He is a weird guy doing weird stuff. 135 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: There's the sniffing and the grabbing and the kind of 136 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: gropy grope stuff too. This is the best the Democrats 137 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: have to offer. This is what they've got. I think 138 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: some of them are. And I bring this up to 139 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: because after those job numbers last week, job creation was 140 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: huge and way exceeded expectations and just the overall positive 141 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: trajectory of the American economy and I think American in 142 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: many ways, American day to day life. I mean, there 143 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: isn't optimism. You can convince yourself, there's no optimism. You 144 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: can convince yourself that Putin is running this country, that 145 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: Trump stole the election, that Trump is a member of 146 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: the KKK. I mean, you can be a delusional, you know, 147 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: freak if you want. I mean, you can be a weirdo. 148 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: You can. And a lot of Democrats have done that. 149 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: They've they've convinced themselves that there's an alternate reality that 150 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: we're all living in. You know, it's like this is 151 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: the Matrix, except instead of Agent Smith, there's just Trump's 152 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: running around everywhere. Or they can deal with what's really happening, 153 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: which is that the country's doing pretty well. There's still 154 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: tons of challenges and all that. I'm not saying. I mean, 155 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: the border drives me nuts right now, but you'll see 156 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: that the Obama administration head of Border Patrol, Trump is 157 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: not putting him forward to be running running ice. We 158 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: had him, producer, Mike, Do we have him on the 159 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: show recently? I know I interviewed him for Rising. I 160 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: can't always remember which show I did the interview on 161 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: m But he's very strong on the border. So they're 162 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna deal with that issue. But Joe Biden 163 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: doesn't even really think he's going to make the country 164 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: a better, happier, safer, more prosperous place based on what 165 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: you know, based on his I mean, just unbelievable, an 166 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: unashamed pandering that he will do to people. I mean, 167 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: this is a guy who is He's the quintessential tell 168 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: you what you want to hear politician say one thing 169 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: to one group, another thing to another group, does not 170 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: care how how slimy it all is just just just 171 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: peddling nonsense to people as long as it benefits him. 172 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: You know, he's he's running around saying, you know, he 173 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: does do very well with the minority community so far 174 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party. I have asked friends of mine 175 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: who are Democratic strategists who are African American, like, why 176 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: do they like Joe Biden so much? Why does the 177 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: black community support but they support Biden over Corey Booker 178 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: over Kamala Harris. Now I'm somebody who's an advocate for 179 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: you support people based on who they are and what 180 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: they believe, not the color of their skin. But if 181 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 1: you're a party, as a Democratic Party, is that is 182 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: so rooted in identity politics, wouldn't you think that the 183 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: African American community would say, well, you know, we've got 184 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 1: a black man and a black woman who are both 185 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: running for president, there'd be a greater support. No, they like, 186 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: they like, They prefer not everyone, but the majority numbers 187 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: show they prefer Joe Biden, and it's because of his 188 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: association with Barack Obama. It's because there's a sense that 189 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: a Biden presidency might be a return to the Obama years, 190 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: which I don't even think it's true. I don't think 191 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: that Biden is anywhere near the political force that Obama was. 192 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: It's not even the same conversation. It's really none in 193 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 1: the same category. But you can tell Biden's trying to 194 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 1: get a little bit of a steam goat. He's trying 195 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: to get a wind at at his back. By I 196 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: guess if you're using steam, you wouldn't be using wind. 197 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: But you know what I mean saying things like this 198 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: playlot four. Speaking of dignity, it means we have to 199 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: protect which does not happening now. The single most important 200 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: right you have as an American the right to vote, 201 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: the right to vote in folks. Last year, twenty four 202 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: states introduced or an active at least seventy bills took 203 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: curtail the right to vote, and guess what mostly directed 204 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: at quote people of color. You see it, We got 205 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: Jim crow sneaking back in. No, I mean it's all 206 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: a cup. Why Why because they know you saw it 207 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: in North Carolina, you saw what happened in Georgia, Oh 208 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: what happened in Florida. Why because you know, if everybody 209 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: has nickel right to vote, guess what they lose? They lose. 210 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: He's kind of a moron, you know, I really and 211 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: I don't like to throw that terminology around, but he's 212 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: really not a very smart guy. He's just he's been 213 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: listening to the tape, so to speak, for a long time. 214 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: He knows what he's expected to say in different category 215 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: at different situations. And but really not a bright individual 216 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: from what I see and what I hear. And I 217 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: mean to say that Jim Crowe is sneaking back in 218 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: is such a reckless and dishonest thing for a prominent 219 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: member of the Democratic Party to say. But he knows 220 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: that if he especially in states like North Carolina, and 221 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: you know, he knows if and Georgia, if he can 222 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: convince the African American community that he is their biggest advocate. 223 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: That's an enormous advantage over the rest of the field. 224 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: So he'll just say whatever he has to say. But 225 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: that's what you get with Joe Biden. There is no 226 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 1: political core, there is no particular belief system. Joe Biden 227 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: believes in Joe Biden, and Democrats who are honest know 228 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: this and know that that's probably not going to be 229 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: enough in an era of Trump not just presiding over 230 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: a very successful economy, but also being able to take 231 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: the fight to his opponents himself not have to worry 232 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: about a mainstream media filter deciding, you know, when he 233 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: can talk and who he can talk to and how 234 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: he can say things. You know, Biden's come up with 235 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: clown as a nickname. He wants to play the nickname 236 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: game with Trump. Oh man, this is this is gonna 237 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: look like the varsity against the freshman team. He's really 238 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: going to get into a name calling contest with Donald Trump. 239 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: I mean, Joe Biden telling you folks, you know, I've 240 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: been saying it all along. He is I do not 241 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: think he's going to be the nominee, and he's gonna 242 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: flame out here. People are gonna realize he just doesn't 243 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: have it. And what's amazing is the Democrats. For two years, 244 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: I've been telling us that Trump is a trader, He's 245 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: the worst and all this stuff. Who are they offering 246 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: up to replace him, Joe Biden? They can't be serious. 247 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: I guess they are, but it's ridiculous. All Right, we 248 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: got a lot more. I do want to talk to 249 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: you all about the some of the big national security 250 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: stories today. I feel like there's there's some trouble brewing 251 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: outside of just the military response that Israel had for 252 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: the terrorist attacks from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jiha. But 253 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: you know Iran, We've got a carrier group on the 254 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: way right now. I'm been tasked to have a show 255 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: of force to the Iranians and obviously Venezuela, there's still 256 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: that fight for power and fight for supremacy in Caracas. 257 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: So we'll get into that quite a bit and talk 258 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: about some of the other Democrats in the field right now. 259 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: It's one of these days where there's a lot of 260 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: different stories, a lot of threads we have to pull together. 261 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: There's not one mega story today, but I kind of 262 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: like that because we can cover a lot of grounds. 263 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: So we'll be back the more. My one question is 264 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: was it like that working for other politicians? You've worked 265 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: for politicians. I've definitely worked for politicians. They insists, insist 266 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: on slavery. Come on, it's so to a woman of 267 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: color here. I mean, I'm serious. I think some washers 268 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: are tiously bad to people, and they do humiliate there. 269 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: I mean bad to be the humiliar people still very 270 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: short of slavery. Lyndon Johnson was an awful man. He 271 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: did cheat them my slaves. And the fact is it 272 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: didn't get it. We didn't hear about it till later. 273 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: Chris Matthews is an idiot. Yeah, what what is NBC doing? Well? 274 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: Why is this guy someone that we have to listen 275 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: to talk about politics or anything else? I good credit 276 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: that that. The panelist there was Juanita Tolliver, who does 277 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: arise you with me a lot. She's a Democrat. I'm 278 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: actually very fond of one Nita. She's really nice and 279 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of fun um. But good 280 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: for her. What are you What are you saying working 281 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: on a political campaign is like slavery? I mean, if 282 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: he said at once, and he was trying to say 283 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: it with a rhetorical flourish, I guess, but he really 284 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: drilled down it like flavor. It's like flavor. This is 285 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: one of one of the problems in this town is 286 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: that you have, I mean in the swamp here, you 287 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: have this, uh, this hierarchy of morons that we have 288 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: to listen to about politics and about America, and if 289 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 1: you question it, you're told that you know there must 290 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: be something wrong with you. Meanwill no, no person who 291 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: knows anything thinks that Chris Matthews knows anything. And yet 292 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: he's a multi millionaire who does his show on MSNBC 293 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. But Democrats have, uh, there's a 294 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: there's a lack of Democrat mojo right now. There's a 295 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: lack of a sense of purpose because they can't just 296 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 1: keep talking about impeachment every day because they know that 297 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: ultimately they just want to they want to get to impeachment, 298 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: but they don't have what they need yet and I 299 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: don't think they ever gonna get it. They are all 300 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: fired up about Mueller testifying. Muther's not going to testify 301 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: for at least I think it's two or three weeks now, 302 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: and Trump has said he doesn't want up too. I 303 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: think Mueller is going to testify, so maybe that's a 304 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: good place for us to transition the discussion here in 305 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: just a moment, I think Mueller will testifying. It won't 306 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: be nearly as exciting for Democrats as they want it 307 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: to be. But there is a story that he just 308 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: broke on Fox about leaks from the intel community to 309 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: the media to get Trump.

I do 333 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: want to talk to you all about this story I 334 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 1: just broke on Fox and as I just see that 335 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 1: indicates their may have been some oh what, it's some 336 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: deep state actors who leaked as according to some struck 337 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: page text messages suggesting that the Intel agencies leaked on 338 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: the Russia case. Of course they did. I mean that 339 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: the Intel agencies had a bunch of anti Trump, anti 340 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: Trump zealots who were using the zealously anti Trump media 341 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: to try to take down this president. But just as 342 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: to hold that for one second. Something else we're going 343 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: to discuss today on the program is how progressives are nasty, 344 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: not all of them, but progressive ideology in this country 345 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: has really jumped the shark and is often incredibly vitriolic 346 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: ad hominem and meant to make people feel bad about themselves, 347 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: meant to just go at the individual, not at their ideas, 348 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: because it is one it's the product of a lot 349 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: of brainwashing and cultural reinforcement from the perspective of all 350 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: these petty totalitarians that find them self drawn to progressivism, 351 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: so that that's one competent of it. And also they 352 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: don't have the emotional strength and and honestly the sense 353 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: of decency to just make it about the ideas. They 354 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: often go after people here is alan Well, the there's 355 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: gonna be a few examples of this in the show today. Alabama, 356 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: Alabama Democrat John Rogers talking about the President of the 357 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: United States, son, and you need to hear this play 358 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: the one earlier today, Donald Trump Junior condemned your comments. 359 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: Do you ever sponsor to that? Son? Hey, that's an 360 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: honor from you, Thank god. Right on, that's been no right, 361 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: because no, no, he'd be right old, since he'd be here. 362 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: That proved the right to the biggest seat by the boys. 363 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: Him being born, there's proved the right. That's a very 364 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: big defeat. I am for a boy to ready to 365 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: him looking him. Wanted you wanted you to the born 366 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: to him when he was born, But hell are you 367 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: want to made a stupid statement? Right? He means see 368 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: the hill of him. Didn't they could aborted him, but 369 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: they means see to keep it because he's really retarded, 370 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: crazy he should Hey, that's a that's a best that 371 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: guy from one posts you're ready and looking at him. 372 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: There's an elected Democrat official in the state of Alabama 373 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: representing the people of Alabama saying that Donald Trump Junior 374 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: is the very best defense he could think of for 375 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: the right to an abortion because he should have been aborted, 376 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: and then went on to call him quote retarded. Do 377 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: you think that this is going to lead the broadcast 378 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: at MSNBC tonight and they say, whoa John Rodgers, Alabama 379 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: can't do that. I can't say this stuff, man. That's 380 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: it's a political ideology without decency, without a moral core. 381 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: It is statism and lust for power dressed up in 382 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: a whole lot of fancy, fancy language about caring about 383 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: the poor and the oppressed, but really doesn't care about 384 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: anything other than the lust for power, certainly doesn't enforce 385 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: any norms of civility or decency. And just remember that 386 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: the next time they oh, Trump's tweet was so mean. Really, 387 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: you got an elected official referring to the president's son 388 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: as retarded and saying that he is a defense for 389 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: the right to an abortion because he should have been aborted. 390 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: I mean, one of the dumbest things. But there are 391 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: a lot of Democrat politicians who say just shockingly stupid 392 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: things and do not get called and not just stupid, immoral, 393 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: heinous things. I mentioned this switching gears. I mentioned this 394 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: Fox News story. Struck page text suggests Intel agencies leaked 395 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: on Russia case. According to some centers and the GOP, 396 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: here's what they say. Republican congresional leaders are calling for 397 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: new investigation of media leaks surrounding the Russia investigation, possibly 398 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: emanating from the intelligence community, pointing to internal text messages 399 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: they say indicate a more widespread problem. These texts and 400 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: emails demonstrate the need to investigate leaks from agencies or entities. 401 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: Other than the FBI, according to Senate Homeland Security Committee 402 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: Chairman Ron Johnson. So here's what I see happening. There 403 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: are going to be people that are in a whole 404 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: heap of trouble if Bill Barr is able to do 405 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: his job here, and I think he will do his 406 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: job and track down communications between former heads of the 407 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 1: Director of National for the former Director of National Intelligence, 408 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: the former head of the CIA, the former FBI director. 409 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 1: These are people who never ever should have been going 410 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: on TV trading on their classified access. The whole point 411 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: of there being on TV was that was not just 412 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: the perception that they had secret knowledge about TROMP and Russia, 413 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: but that they were directly involved in it. Now, I 414 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: never would have, from my time at CIA, gone on 415 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: television to talk about highly sensitive work that the intelligence 416 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: community was doing on issues that I covered there. You 417 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,239 Speaker 1: can speak about things in a broad policy sense, and 418 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: you know that those are usually the kinds of conversations 419 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: you have on TV. But Clapper and Brennan and come 420 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 1: and these these paid left wing hills doing all the 421 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: kind of demagoguery and shameless pandering to the left that 422 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: they were doing on television on a regular basis. The 423 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: reason that they were going on TV was that they 424 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: they were the ones who created the Russia collusion narrative 425 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: while they were in government, and then their presence on 426 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: these TV shows was used as a kind of justification 427 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: for the continued belief in the Russia collusion narrative. Does 428 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: any person really think that John Brennan or James Clapper 429 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: weren't in some way involved in being sources for the 430 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: stories that were broken at places like NBC and CNN. 431 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: And does anyone think that it's a coincidence that James 432 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: Comey briefs Donald Trump on this dossier doesn't say that 433 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid for it. Isn't that 434 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: an interesting detail to leave out? Brief some on the dossier, 435 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: and then Tapper, one of the most sanctimonious and self 436 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: aggrandizing jerks in the entire world of journalism, you know, 437 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: CNN Brayton starts reporting on the how the dossier has 438 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: been briefed. There weren't a lot of people in the room, folks. 439 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 1: There were some very bad actors here. There were there 440 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: were individuals who betrayed their oaths, who betrayed the loyalty 441 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: they're supposed to show to the United States government to 442 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: be partisan hacks for a paycheck in the media, and 443 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: they did a tremendous disservice the intelligence community, and they 444 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: did a lot of damage to in the case of 445 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: comy law enforcing community. And I'm i am very confident 446 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,959 Speaker 1: that they will find out that there were criminal leagues here. Specifically, 447 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: what comes up in these text messages quote, these text 448 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: and emails raise a number of serious questions and concerns. 449 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: For example, who are the sisters and what does it 450 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: mean to say the sisters have been leaking like mad? 451 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: What are they worried about? And what are they kicking 452 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: into overdrive? Which agency is he referring to? And why 453 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 1: does Struck believe the reference news articles highlights the agency 454 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: as a source of the leaks. They're digging into these 455 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 1: tech messages between Struck and Page and they're finding stuff 456 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: that I'm telling you the Democrats are going to want 457 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: to hide. They're finding stuff that Democrats aren't going to 458 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: want to see the light of day. And get ready 459 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: for a lot of kicking and screaming over this, because 460 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 1: once you start finding people who are leakers, then you 461 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: know what the question turns into. Why shouldn't we prosecute 462 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: these people. Why should George Papadoppolus face prison time for 463 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 1: an unimportant non lie. But these people breaking their oaths 464 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: and sharing classify with the media, they would just get 465 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: away with it. I don't think so that's not going 466 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: to fly. I got more on this and so much 467 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: more Team stay with me. So many of the solutions 468 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: I believe we're going to come from our communities, communities 469 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: like the one where I grew up, which is an 470 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: industrial Midwestern city that is exactly the kind of place 471 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: that our current president targeted with a message saying that 472 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: we could find greatness by just stopping the clock and 473 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: turning it back and making America great again. When that passed, 474 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: that he is promising to return us to was never 475 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: as great as advertised, especially for marginalized Americans, and there's 476 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: no going back anyway. They have Mayor Pete who's now 477 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: become a darling of the left. He's one of the 478 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: top four candidates for the Democrat presidential nomination, I think 479 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: maybe top five. Top four. Mayor Pete from South Bend, 480 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: a city that I'm surprised to have found out it 481 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: has a very high crime rate per capita violent crime 482 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: rate does not speak well to Mayor Pete's management skills 483 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: as the chief executive of the City of South Bend, Indiana. 484 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: But he's saying that we're never going to return that 485 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: the past that Trump wants to return to is not 486 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: that great, and you know, and it wouldn't be possible 487 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: to turn out clock anyway. I just think it's so 488 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: interesting Democrats just culturally, emotionally, and really instinctively take a 489 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: more negative view of America than Republicans. Do you see 490 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: this time and again Democrats derive strength from thinking that 491 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: they are better than America and need to fix it, 492 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: whereas Republicans tend to drive strength and a sense of 493 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: pride just from being America. You know, Patriotism on the 494 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: right is America is the most wonderful, free, incredible country 495 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: in the history of the world. Patriotism on the left 496 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: is more. Yeah, America is really powerful and great, but 497 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: it's not that great, and there's a lot of problems, 498 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of history we still have to confront. 499 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: And it's only going to be good if progressives are 500 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: in charge, and if the left has its way and 501 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: we become socialist and you know, it takes this turn 502 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: very quickly. Whereas what Trump to me, at least when 503 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: Trump says make America great again, but he's just saying 504 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: is a return to and obviously one of the most 505 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: incredible political slogans of all time in the power that 506 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: it wielded, in how successful it was. But a return 507 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: to that core Republican belief that this country that when 508 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: the American people are free to pursue their destiny, when 509 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: they don't have the boot of government on their hand 510 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: or on their neck, why when you are free to 511 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: express your pride and love for this country and to 512 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: view yourself as an American as different from people from 513 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: the rest of the world, your obligations to this community 514 00:30:54,320 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: as different, your future as inherently whined with this country 515 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: in a way that non Americans it's not the case. 516 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: Just a recalibration of thinking about what it is to 517 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: be a patriotic American back to a more traditionally you know. 518 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: I mean, people say, well buck, when when is the 519 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: marketing back to I don't think Trump is saying we 520 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: want to make this country, we want to party like 521 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: at seventeen ninety nine. He's saying, wouldn't that be an 522 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: interesting party, like it's seventeen ninety nine. But what he's 523 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: saying is, you know, people a little bit more like 524 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: it was under the era of Reagan, I think, where 525 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: you know, we were confronting the evil Empire, and we 526 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,719 Speaker 1: had this sense of purpose and love of country that 527 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: was rooted in the fact that you know, we are 528 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: We're not perfect, but we're the good guys. Under the 529 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: Obama administration wasn't always clear that we were the good guys, folks. 530 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: Obama's position was, you know, the real good guys are 531 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: the United Nations. You know, the real good guys are 532 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: the international community. We can we can sometimes be a 533 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: good guy, but sometimes we're America. We're a bad guy. 534 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: That's a different friend. There's there's a philosophical separation, an 535 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: important fundamental philosophical separation between the Democrats view America in 536 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: the world and in history, and then we Republicans doing 537 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: the right and the left and conservatives and liberals and 538 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: you know, these are these are real conceptual distinctions. And 539 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: so Trump takes the perspective of, you know, we need 540 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: to understand how great this country is and try to 541 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: promote the aspects of a try to try to free 542 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: it up to pursue its destiny of continued greatness. Whereas 543 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: you know, may or Pete say, oh, he wants to 544 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: take us back to time when it was bad for minorities. 545 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: Let me just note that, you know, minority communities, I 546 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: don't just mean ethnic moundities, I mean minorities of any kind. 547 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,719 Speaker 1: In any country, there there's always at tension there, there 548 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: are always problems historically with the way that minorities are 549 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: treated by and fit into the broader state. I mean, 550 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: there's no such thing as as perfection with this, and 551 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: no one has ever gotten entirely right. You know, America 552 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: today is in so many ways, and progressives would scoff 553 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: at this, but the fact that this country gets along 554 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: as well as it does with itself and you know, 555 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: with each other within this nation, with all of the 556 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: incredible array of differences in groups and individuals and everything 557 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: that we have, is really just a testament to the 558 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: greatness of America. But because it's it's imperfect, there's a 559 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: focus on down talking America, you know, saying, you know, 560 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: we haven't done enough. And this victim narrative you get 561 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: from so many people is it's far too prevalence speaking 562 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: of the victim narrative, I just you know Kamala Harris, 563 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: who is still a very viable Democrat Canada. I think 564 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: that she's gonna have a breakout here in the next 565 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: few months, not because she's so great, just because it's 566 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: kind of a default situation, right. They need to find 567 00:33:55,120 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 1: somebody who gets the left wing base excited and off, 568 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: but also is enough of an establishment player with a 569 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: high enough profile. And she just she checks off the boxes. 570 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: But it will later on we'll talk about Hillary Clinton 571 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: still says that the election was stolen from her, which 572 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 1: is I thought that was undermining democracy. To say these 573 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: things when they were worried about Trump doing it was 574 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: undermining democracy. Hillary can just say it, but Kamala and 575 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: the Democrats will cover for her. Of course. Kamala Harris 576 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: also likes to go to a talking point here that 577 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 1: you know, I wonder what the basis in reality for 578 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,720 Speaker 1: it is voter suppression. She talks talking about voter suppression. 579 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: Playclip three. Let's say this loud and clear. Without voters suppression, 580 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: Stacy Abrams would be the governor of Georgia. Andrew Gillham 581 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: is the governor of Florida. So the truth is we 582 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: need a new voting rights at Let's say that this 583 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: is just intellectually dishonest, absolutely dishonest. This is lying to 584 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:18,959 Speaker 1: people about the scope of a problem and then saying 585 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: you want to solve it without having a real solution 586 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: to mind. A new voting rights act that would say 587 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: what you can't You can't purge dead people and people 588 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: that move from voter rules. You can't have voter ide 589 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 1: The Supreme Court's already rual voter idea is constitutional. The 590 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: left can try to fight this as much as they want. 591 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: Voter at voter ID, voters having ID to vote is constitutional. 592 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: She's claiming voter suppression, saying Stacey Abrams would would have 593 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,240 Speaker 1: wont her like she's saying it was stolen from Stacey Abrams. 594 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: Is not true. There's no real case to be made 595 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: that it was stolen from her. They may not like 596 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:56,439 Speaker 1: the rules, but the rules are the rules. But this 597 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: is what you do to get the left wing bas excited. 598 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: Lie to them, tell them what they want to hear. 599 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: Say that there was voter suppression. Do you have any proof? No? 600 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: But who needs proof? When you can just get people 601 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 1: really upset about something? Who needs proof? When you'll rally 602 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 1: the left wing base with claims of a voter suppression. 603 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 1: Of course, voter suppression of minorities. That's always the subtext here. 604 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes they're explicit about it. A new Voting Rights Act. 605 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: What would it say exactly that laws that are applicable 606 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,479 Speaker 1: across the board for people like voter ID they don't 607 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: count because certain communities don't like them to count. I mean, 608 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: what what is it going to say? But the lie 609 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: is comforting that there's voters suppression. Well, the degree of voting, 610 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: including with the minority communities in these elections is there 611 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: are all time highs. Voting is way up. Overall voting 612 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: is if people are trying to suppress the vote in Georgia, 613 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: they did a terrible job because they're voting. We're voting. 614 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: Was that a record for an offseason cycle? So again, 615 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 1: the Democrats are just making stuff up as they go along. 616 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: But that's what their base wants to hear, so that's 617 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,880 Speaker 1: what they do. These guys are bound and determined to 618 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: go after the attorney general, to go after President Trump, 619 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: and not going to focus on what we need to 620 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: do to help the country. So I think they're nervous 621 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,959 Speaker 1: about Bill bark because remember what he said three weeks 622 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: ago in front of the the Senate Finance commit He made 623 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,399 Speaker 1: four important points. First of all, he said spying did 624 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: in fact take place. Second, he said there is a 625 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:30,720 Speaker 1: basis for his concern that the spying wasn't properly predicated. Third, 626 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: he said there was a failure of leadership at the 627 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 1: upper echelon of the FBI. We know that's for sure 628 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: a comey McKay baker struck page. We know there was 629 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,359 Speaker 1: a fare of leadership there. And then fourth, he used 630 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 1: two terms that I've never really heard before, and my 631 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: guess is most Americans haven't. He used the term unauthorized surveillance, 632 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: and he used the term political surveillance. So the Democrats 633 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,919 Speaker 1: are scared, and frankly, I think when we're talking about 634 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 1: obstruction of justice, the real obstruction of justice is what 635 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,439 Speaker 1: Democrats are trying to do to the Attorney general. They're 636 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: trying to stop him by all these things that's contempt 637 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: and not having him come testify. They're trying to stop 638 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: him from getting the answers that we just talked to me. 639 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: You know, when you're taking a lot of flak, you're 640 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 1: above the target and Attorney General bar drives liberals completely insane, 641 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,240 Speaker 1: not because he's hijacked the narrative of the Mulla Report 642 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: and all this other stuff, but because he is a 643 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: pro and he's going to get answers and their answers 644 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: that the left doesn't want to hear. They don't want 645 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 1: to know about this, that I want to hear about this. 646 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 1: The origins of the Russia collusion fantasy are going to 647 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 1: look very very bad. We will see, I mean, I 648 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: am certain that we will see that the deep state 649 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,360 Speaker 1: was very real, That Komy and Struck and Page and 650 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: Brennan and Clapper, that these individuals, Sally Yates, these individuals 651 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: cook this whole thing up, showed incredibly bad judgment, incredibly 652 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 1: bad faith, and tried to stop Trump from becoming president, 653 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: and then tried to destroy him when he was president 654 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: and in the transition process too, using the powers of 655 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: their public offices to do So, that's what we're going 656 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: to find out. That no serious, credible human being could 657 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: have really thought that George Papadopolis really knew about Russian 658 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 1: hacking of Hillary Clinton's personal emails, when that wasn't even 659 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: what they ended up doing anyway. But that was what 660 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 1: the storyline was. Andy McCarthy is a great piece of 661 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: National View for the weekend about this that the whole 662 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 1: FBI story that we've been told this far, about how 663 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: Papadopolis came on their radar, what was thought doesn't add up, 664 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. They're they're lying. One thing I 665 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:52,800 Speaker 1: find is so interesting is that I know, if you 666 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 1: lie to the FBI, you get a prison if the 667 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: FBI as an FBI you know, senior official. If you 668 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: lie to the American people, apparently that happens to you. 669 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: If you work within the FBI and you are dishonest 670 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: with what happened, you do not face any consequences of 671 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: any kind. Maybe you'll get maybe you'll get fired if 672 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:18,919 Speaker 1: you're Andy McCabe, who should face criminal prosecutions. It's worse 673 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: than that. Devin Newness is also on this issue. I mean, 674 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: he has not forgotten. And you know they remember when 675 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: they were completely demonizing Newness. I mean, they hated Newness 676 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,760 Speaker 1: for a while. But Devin Newness was someone who early 677 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: on recognized that there was a whole other component to 678 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:41,879 Speaker 1: this Russia Gate spy story, and he wants to know 679 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: how many human assets were run against the Trump campaign 680 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,319 Speaker 1: and under what auspices and what the justification was play 681 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,399 Speaker 1: Cliff ten, I'm not worried about whether or not they 682 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 1: were spying on the Trump campaign. That is fact. What 683 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,919 Speaker 1: I want to know is how many spies with an 684 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 1: S were involved in this. We have to get to 685 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: the bottom of this. All this information needs to come out. 686 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 1: It does need to come out. And the reason that 687 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:15,280 Speaker 1: you've seen such a ferocity of criticism against Attorney General 688 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,720 Speaker 1: bar is they know that they have to undermine him 689 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 1: before he can even get going. I mean they have 690 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: to destroy Their best play is to destroy his credibility 691 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 1: with as many people as a ken. They'll never destroy 692 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 1: with you and me, because we know the Bars bars 693 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:34,440 Speaker 1: a stunt. That guy's a badass. He is, and everyone 694 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: I speak to you in DJ says he is such 695 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,240 Speaker 1: a common presence there because he knows all the games 696 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 1: the pathetic Democrats are going to play. He knows all 697 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 1: the lies and the misdirection that the mainstream media a 698 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: little Democrat Aaron boys and girls for the Democrat Party 699 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,359 Speaker 1: in the mainstream media. He knows what they're gonna do, 700 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: their stories, what they're gonna say, and he's just gonna 701 00:41:55,560 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: stay on this. He knows that when we finally get 702 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: the information about what happened with this Russia collusion investigation, 703 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna look very bad, not just for the people 704 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: who were the deep state operators, if you will, the 705 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,879 Speaker 1: Komis and the mccaves and the Strucks, and but it's 706 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: gonna look very bad for the Obama administration. And that's 707 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:24,360 Speaker 1: the that's the true sacred cow for the left right now. 708 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: I mean, they have this whole story, this whole theory 709 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: and belief that Obama was scandal free, that Obama's eight 710 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:38,320 Speaker 1: years were marked with just such tremendous progress in America, 711 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,839 Speaker 1: and it was also wonderful in the politics, where it's 712 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,719 Speaker 1: such a different tone. And meanwhile, I mean, the economy 713 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 1: was took forever to recover from the recession because of 714 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,760 Speaker 1: Obama's policies. You had race riots in major American cities, 715 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: or the demonization of cops. You had the first US 716 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 1: ambassador murdered abroad because of just cheer incompetence, because of 717 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton in a Barack Obama, you know a lot. 718 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 1: You know, does Syria turn into an otter nightmare? A 719 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 1: half million people die? We went into Libya, to turn 720 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: that into you know, disaster ref disaster. Well, what's the 721 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: big win for the Obama administration Obamacare? Oh, you mean 722 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 1: really expensive health insurance in the individual market that's not 723 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 1: very good with limited doctor networks, and I mean that 724 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: that's supposed to be the but they cling to this. 725 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the story. That's what you're that Obama 726 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,719 Speaker 1: was amazing and wonderful. And so even if we can't, 727 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,280 Speaker 1: even if the Democrats can't of Obama running again, something 728 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 1: someone who is more like Obama is the promise. You know. 729 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 1: That's why Joe Biden appeals so much just to at 730 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 1: least a third of whatever or whatever it is the 731 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: twenty five or thirty percent of Democrats now that are 732 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 1: for Joe Biden because it would be a return to Obama. 733 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 1: But if we find out that the Obama administration and 734 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,040 Speaker 1: at some level he had to know about this, I'm 735 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 1: not saying he knew every step of the way. That's 736 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 1: not how this works. Comey wasn't sending Obama emails every 737 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,840 Speaker 1: day gonna do this, We're gonna put this asset in place. 738 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,840 Speaker 1: But it is it defies belief that someone who is 739 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:11,280 Speaker 1: as obsessed with cya as James Comey wouldn't have covered 740 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:17,319 Speaker 1: himself with Obama at some way, in some manner or 741 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: in some way, at some time, there just had to 742 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,920 Speaker 1: be notification that you're you're running human assets against the 743 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: presidential campaign, trying to entrap them, trying to convince them 744 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 1: to say things to then justify a surveillance trag that 745 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:36,360 Speaker 1: under counterintelligence auspices. I mean, this is the biggest political 746 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 1: scandal of my lifetime, and it just shows how dirty 747 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 1: Democrats willing to play. They're complaining about voter suppression even 748 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,080 Speaker 1: though voting is way up in the places they complain about, 749 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,239 Speaker 1: you know, they complain about stolen elections. They say all 750 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:52,439 Speaker 1: this stuff. Meanwhile, the real cheating was what the deep 751 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: state did to Trump in the twenty sixteen election. That's 752 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: the real cheating. That's where you see people breaking the rules, 753 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 1: acting in bad faith, and fighting dirty against their political opponents, 754 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:13,240 Speaker 1: just fighting very dirty. They hate they hated Newness because 755 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: they knew that they couldn't throw him off target. They 756 00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 1: hate him Jordan because he doesn't wear he doesn't wear 757 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 1: a suit jacket ever, because you know, he wants to 758 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,160 Speaker 1: take him to the gun show even though you can't 759 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 1: really see it, I guess under his shirt. But they 760 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,839 Speaker 1: hate him Jordan because he's a fighter. They hate Mark 761 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 1: Meadows because he wants to get to the truth. But 762 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,799 Speaker 1: they hate Bar more than anybody. You know. They want 763 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,239 Speaker 1: Bar to go the way of Jeff Sessions, where they 764 00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:41,440 Speaker 1: can just mock and ridicule him until he caves, until 765 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 1: he gives up. That's the plan. That's really what they want. 766 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 1: They want to push him aside. It's not going to happen. 767 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:55,279 Speaker 1: I cannot wait until we get one the declassification of 768 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 1: the documents that Trump has been promising about the Russia 769 00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 1: investigation origins, and then also that Inspector General report. I 770 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be lit. It's gonna be lit. It's 771 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,120 Speaker 1: gonna be a bad day for the deep state, bad 772 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,719 Speaker 1: day for the Democrats, and it's coming. I think it's 773 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:16,920 Speaker 1: also critical to understand that, as I've been telling candidates 774 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 1: who have come to see me, you can run the 775 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 1: best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you 776 00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: can have the election stolen from you, stolen. It was stolen. 777 00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 1: She says. This is something that I don't think we 778 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:45,360 Speaker 1: should just let slip past. Here. You have the presume 779 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 1: not just nominee for the Democrats all along for the 780 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:52,320 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen election, but they're next presumed president, Hillary Clinton, 781 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,319 Speaker 1: who is claiming, without evidence, as they like to say 782 00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 1: over the Washington Post, the New York Times whenever they 783 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 1: talk about Trump, without evidence, the election was stolen from her. 784 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 1: This is a at a minimum, a massive exaggeration. I mean, 785 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:15,399 Speaker 1: this is a lie based on the decontextualization of the 786 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 1: Russian interference to be the Russian interference was a blip 787 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,760 Speaker 1: on the radar screen. It barely even registered at all. 788 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 1: It No serious person believed that it turned the election 789 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,279 Speaker 1: away from Lly Clinton. It was not that close. It 790 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,360 Speaker 1: was not that tight. Hillary maybe should have campaign in Wisconsin. 791 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 1: Maybe he should have actually run a campaign where there 792 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,440 Speaker 1: was something to vote for other than just I'm Hillary Clinton, 793 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,120 Speaker 1: so I get to be your president. But she is 794 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:47,239 Speaker 1: saying that it was stolen from her, and I just 795 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:53,239 Speaker 1: can't help but recall that the media was at the 796 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:57,359 Speaker 1: time of the election in twenty sixteen all jumping all 797 00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:01,880 Speaker 1: over Trump saying that he wouldn't accept the election results, 798 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:06,759 Speaker 1: and now here she is like a crazy person two 799 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:11,280 Speaker 1: years plus after the election and she doesn't accept the results. 800 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 1: She does it, she says it was stolen from her. 801 00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,360 Speaker 1: As I've been saying for a long time, there is 802 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,919 Speaker 1: a hole in Hillary Clinton's soul, and the only way 803 00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,440 Speaker 1: she can fill it as money and power. She's had 804 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:28,360 Speaker 1: to make so many, let's just say, sacrifices of character 805 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:32,040 Speaker 1: and decency and honor along the way that she feels 806 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,919 Speaker 1: like the world owes her that top job. And even 807 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:37,239 Speaker 1: when she had it, I would know it. It's not 808 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 1: like that would make her a happy person that feels fulfilled. 809 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,799 Speaker 1: I think she does lack a degree of fulfillment. I 810 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 1: think it's obvious in the way she conducts herself now 811 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:53,280 Speaker 1: in public life as a post presidential candidate. But speaking 812 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,319 Speaker 1: of post presidential candidates, I also have not forgotten that, 813 00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:00,120 Speaker 1: you know, Bill and Hillary Clinton are doing this this 814 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,520 Speaker 1: this speaking tour the Clintons, and I always forget when 815 00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,279 Speaker 1: Chelsea's involved, which you know, I don't know, what does 816 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,799 Speaker 1: Chelsea have to tell people about how to be the 817 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,399 Speaker 1: daughter of a former president and have people throw money 818 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,320 Speaker 1: at you despite you not being throughly good at anything 819 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,640 Speaker 1: and never having to have a real job. She's never 820 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,319 Speaker 1: had a real job. There are other people who are 821 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,719 Speaker 1: famous and then sons or daughters of politicians. You can 822 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:24,920 Speaker 1: say this about too. I'm not limited to the Chelsea Clinton. 823 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,319 Speaker 1: But Chelsea Clinton has never had a real job, never 824 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,839 Speaker 1: had a job job. Even the job jobs that she's 825 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:35,239 Speaker 1: had in the past are given to her by virtue 826 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,120 Speaker 1: of who her parents are. And she's never really in 827 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,920 Speaker 1: a position where she has to perform because you know, 828 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 1: I mean, she just she was on the board of IAC, 829 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,399 Speaker 1: which is a huge media company. It's owned by Barry Dillard. 830 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,760 Speaker 1: She made three hundred thousand dollars a show for six meetings. 831 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:51,400 Speaker 1: What does she know about a what does she know 832 00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,560 Speaker 1: about digital? Nothing? It's just name recognition and just being 833 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 1: in the Clinton orbit. And these people all take care 834 00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:00,040 Speaker 1: of each other and pay each other off. But I 835 00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:05,120 Speaker 1: remember debating with people at CNN when what feels like 836 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,560 Speaker 1: a different lifetime now I was a CNN contributor. They 837 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,200 Speaker 1: were actually paying me to go on their air and 838 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:15,000 Speaker 1: try to enlighten their delusional liberal masses about what time 839 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 1: it really is and what's really going on in the 840 00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:20,880 Speaker 1: world and in America. And I remember there was this 841 00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:27,160 Speaker 1: this outrage, just this just complete outrage at the idea 842 00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:32,440 Speaker 1: that the Clintons were really selling access, and that what 843 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,840 Speaker 1: the market will bear for a Bill Clinton speech isn't 844 00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,200 Speaker 1: really how much people need to hear Bill Clinton give 845 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:42,200 Speaker 1: the same, you know, kind of bloviating, bombastic nonsense speech 846 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:46,520 Speaker 1: over to it's paying him off so that you maintain 847 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,120 Speaker 1: a relationship and access to his wife, who was going 848 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,239 Speaker 1: to be the next president the United States. They thought 849 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,000 Speaker 1: for eight years, and I would say, this is so obvious, 850 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:56,600 Speaker 1: and this is why people were donating all this money 851 00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 1: the Clinton Foundation and all along. I had said, and 852 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,440 Speaker 1: you can go back, you can check the tape on radio. 853 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,719 Speaker 1: Check the tape. I had said, Just wait until it's 854 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,560 Speaker 1: clear that Hillary Clinton is not going to be the 855 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:10,120 Speaker 1: next president the United States, and see what happens to 856 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 1: the Clinton foundation clinton Foundation donations, and see what happens 857 00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,960 Speaker 1: to their speech fees and their live events and how. 858 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,600 Speaker 1: And of course I was right. And all the people 859 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,480 Speaker 1: that were running around saying that Hillard that that was 860 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,040 Speaker 1: crazy and that people just love Bill clinton speeches so 861 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,479 Speaker 1: much they pay him five hundred, six hundred, seven hundred 862 00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,160 Speaker 1: grand for a speech. No one makes that for a speeches, 863 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,520 Speaker 1: No such thing. No one's one hour long speech is 864 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 1: worth half a million dollars You don't have to pay 865 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,920 Speaker 1: anybody a half million dollars to get them to do that. No, 866 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 1: no one does that in the political world. I mean, 867 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,960 Speaker 1: you know, maybe if you're paying, you know, Beyonce to 868 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,759 Speaker 1: show up and play a set or something, they'll pay 869 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 1: a million dollars for an hour. But even I don't 870 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:52,640 Speaker 1: think Beyonce would do that. Not enough money. But no 871 00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,960 Speaker 1: one does that in the former politician world. It was 872 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 1: all just a big scheme, folks. It was it was 873 00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 1: all just Clinton corruption. It was selling access or at 874 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:07,960 Speaker 1: a minimum, the perception of access to the highest offices 875 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,040 Speaker 1: in the highest office in the land. That's what the 876 00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,040 Speaker 1: Clinton Foundation was all about. That's what those speeches. That's 877 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 1: how that's how they became fabulously wealthy over one hundred 878 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:23,200 Speaker 1: million dollars without ever creating a product, selling a product, 879 00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:26,359 Speaker 1: you building a business. They were the business. Hanging out 880 00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:28,480 Speaker 1: with the Clintons, having them speak at your events, that 881 00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,759 Speaker 1: was the business. And it was only so lucrative and 882 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,040 Speaker 1: only so powerful because Hillary Clinton was going to be 883 00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:37,239 Speaker 1: the next president. I just I haven't let this go. 884 00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 1: And all the people that were donating, especially the foreign 885 00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:44,680 Speaker 1: governments that were donating money to the Clinton Foundation. They 886 00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:48,839 Speaker 1: were just buying access and purchasing favors. That's what they 887 00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,480 Speaker 1: thought they were doing. And so the people that are 888 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:52,759 Speaker 1: now telling us about how we need to go through 889 00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:54,800 Speaker 1: Trump's tax returns, I need to this and then everything, 890 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,920 Speaker 1: they're the same people that are that were running interference 891 00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,040 Speaker 1: for the Clintons for all those years, acting like they 892 00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,400 Speaker 1: were too stupid to understand what was really going on 893 00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,000 Speaker 1: when anybody paying attention knew that the Clintons were just 894 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:14,759 Speaker 1: they were so rapaciously and unrepentantly greedy. And that's one 895 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:16,719 Speaker 1: thing that you can always and into. Clintons are just 896 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:26,800 Speaker 1: they are just such unbelievably self indulgent, money obsessed individuals 897 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,000 Speaker 1: that they couldn't hide what was going on. So they 898 00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,480 Speaker 1: needed everybody else around them to come up with these narratives. 899 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,439 Speaker 1: And the media that you know, loved them so much 900 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,360 Speaker 1: and was going to have eight years of access to 901 00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:37,920 Speaker 1: Clinton in the White House, it was all gonna be 902 00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,239 Speaker 1: so amazing. They acted like they're a bunch of morons. 903 00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:44,400 Speaker 1: Now they can't even give away tickets to their live events. 904 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,840 Speaker 1: They you know, the donations Clinton Foundation are down like 905 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,680 Speaker 1: fifty percent, maybe more than I would jump falling off 906 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:54,759 Speaker 1: a cliff, and the people that were pretending that that 907 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,040 Speaker 1: wasn't the case, they act like we're not supposed to 908 00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:02,839 Speaker 1: remember how just shockingly dishonest they were along and how 909 00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:07,560 Speaker 1: just completely and utterly fraudulent their analysis was on this 910 00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,239 Speaker 1: because they were just they were trying to do what 911 00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:12,759 Speaker 1: they could to carry water for the Clintons. And now 912 00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,040 Speaker 1: we know that that's what was going on. Now we 913 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:20,319 Speaker 1: know that the corruption the Clintons engagement was so widespread 914 00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:25,040 Speaker 1: and so systematic that it almost overwhelmed our ability to 915 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:28,440 Speaker 1: comprehend it. You know, this is like you kill you 916 00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,760 Speaker 1: kill one person, you're a murderer. You kill a million people, 917 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:34,840 Speaker 1: you're a conqueror. The Clintons were in terms of corruption 918 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,480 Speaker 1: in the in the million person potty calary, it's just 919 00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:41,480 Speaker 1: so out of control, so widespread, and we just have 920 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,480 Speaker 1: more and more evidence of it coming in all the time, 921 00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,920 Speaker 1: and I have not forgotten. I will not just let 922 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:50,520 Speaker 1: it go that the Clintons, not only that Hillary won't 923 00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,560 Speaker 1: accept that she lost the election, which you'll hear more 924 00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:55,759 Speaker 1: and more of that going is that was stolen from her, 925 00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,600 Speaker 1: but that she was selling her office and her husband 926 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,200 Speaker 1: was pro fitting off of her office and the perception 927 00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,239 Speaker 1: that she was going to be a very powerful individual, 928 00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,680 Speaker 1: intellected office. And it's a disgrace. I mean, the Clintons 929 00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,799 Speaker 1: are a true disgrace to American politics and I'm never 930 00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,480 Speaker 1: going to forget what they've done. Israelis have every right 931 00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 1: to defend themselves. I've seen video that we can't validate 932 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 1: just yet, but where there have been strikes at homes, 933 00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:25,239 Speaker 1: civilian populations, these rockets were fired with civilians around them 934 00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:29,839 Speaker 1: in order to protect return from return fire. Israel has 935 00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:31,880 Speaker 1: a right to protect itself and that means that there 936 00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,080 Speaker 1: are going to be some serious reprisals if Hamas fires 937 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:40,240 Speaker 1: more massive volleys of rockets. Hamas Palestine and Islamic jihad 938 00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,279 Speaker 1: terrorist organizations that do not want to live side by 939 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,520 Speaker 1: side with the State of Israel. They want to eradicate 940 00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,400 Speaker 1: the State of Israel. Where is this going now? What 941 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:52,640 Speaker 1: happens next? We have a friend, David Iffun on the 942 00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:54,520 Speaker 1: line where this. He is the editor in chief of 943 00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 1: the Alga Miner and David, great to have you, as 944 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:02,960 Speaker 1: always always a pleasure. But all right, first, what created 945 00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,040 Speaker 1: this most recent I mean, to the best of your 946 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,799 Speaker 1: knowledge and your sources in Israel what created this most 947 00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:14,400 Speaker 1: recent violent exchange. So, look, the situation that you have 948 00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,960 Speaker 1: over there on the ground is that basically Gaza, the 949 00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,719 Speaker 1: entire Gada is a tender books. You know, it can 950 00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,239 Speaker 1: take off at any time. I mean, there are a 951 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:26,279 Speaker 1: tend of thousands of advanced missiles are sitting there, and 952 00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:29,520 Speaker 1: basically it's just a question as to whether the leaders 953 00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,200 Speaker 1: in Gaza want to switch it on or switch it off. 954 00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:36,960 Speaker 1: So there are two major groups in Gaza that have 955 00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:42,359 Speaker 1: the ability to fire a serious amount of munitions into 956 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,960 Speaker 1: the Jewish State. The leaders are a group called from 957 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:50,279 Speaker 1: US that payments is a mainly Sunni Islamic states like 958 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:55,400 Speaker 1: Qatar for example, but there's slightly more independent per se 959 00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,359 Speaker 1: and they're objective at this stage, probably has a lot 960 00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,719 Speaker 1: more to do with shake down the Israeli government, but 961 00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 1: to be allowing funds into the Gaza strip that they 962 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:08,239 Speaker 1: can then use and loosening some of the restrictions and 963 00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:13,560 Speaker 1: importing cement or other banned items into the Gaza strip 964 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:17,280 Speaker 1: or items that have been used to then turn around 965 00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,240 Speaker 1: and to create weapons that they use to get to 966 00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:24,439 Speaker 1: your state, like terra tunnels for example. So why now, 967 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,840 Speaker 1: why why would ha mus have an interest in escalating 968 00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 1: now because you know there's been a delay apparently entertainments 969 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,200 Speaker 1: in terms of money that Israel is allowed to come through. 970 00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:39,200 Speaker 1: They also understand that Israel has its independent state celebrations 971 00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,880 Speaker 1: coming up to toasting Eurovision in two weeks, so they 972 00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,920 Speaker 1: see a great opportunity for a shakedown over hare and 973 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,600 Speaker 1: Israel is not looking to escalate either for Tree executive 974 00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,280 Speaker 1: the same reasons. Then you have the second major group, 975 00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:54,840 Speaker 1: terror groups that vise for influence in the Gaza strip, 976 00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:58,040 Speaker 1: which is the Islamity Had terror group, which is backed 977 00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 1: by Iran. And when Iran tells them to pull a trigger, 978 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:02,800 Speaker 1: that's why they're going to pull the trigger. And obviously 979 00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:06,080 Speaker 1: a run has an entirely different set of considerations when 980 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:09,160 Speaker 1: they want to draw the world's attention away from themselves 981 00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,760 Speaker 1: sometimes and of course there are other objectives as well. 982 00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:15,400 Speaker 1: We've seen some pretty cryptic news coming out of Israel, 983 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,800 Speaker 1: some reports in the Hebrew media saying there is a 984 00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,919 Speaker 1: secret reason as to why Issol didn't want to take 985 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,880 Speaker 1: this site further at this time. So it seems that 986 00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:27,080 Speaker 1: they've sort of capitulated to what the demand was. They're 987 00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,040 Speaker 1: allowing the money in or they're saying that the money 988 00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:33,960 Speaker 1: will go in and for now things are quiet. Now 989 00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,480 Speaker 1: do you think that this is this is not the 990 00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:42,840 Speaker 1: beginning of some broader war, some broader military action. It 991 00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:46,400 Speaker 1: sounds almost like the way the way you describe it, Dovid, 992 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 1: this is like a mafia state in the case of 993 00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:54,000 Speaker 1: what's going on in Gaza, that's doing this to just 994 00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:58,120 Speaker 1: demand some cash. Yeah, that's a good way to put it. 995 00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,640 Speaker 1: I mean, look, we see these flares from time to time. 996 00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:05,360 Speaker 1: Having said that, everybody in Israel knows that is only 997 00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:09,280 Speaker 1: a matter of time until an all out war is 998 00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,439 Speaker 1: going to have to take place. The only question really 999 00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,680 Speaker 1: is when. So now is not the time now the 1000 00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,680 Speaker 1: objectives are different, at least so it seems as of 1001 00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,800 Speaker 1: the seats fire holding this morning. But you know, at 1002 00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:23,920 Speaker 1: the end of the day you have a scenario on 1003 00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:28,240 Speaker 1: the ground, and the only way to end this threat 1004 00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:31,000 Speaker 1: once and for all for Israel is basically to sending 1005 00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:34,240 Speaker 1: ground forces that's going to come with a cost of 1006 00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:38,800 Speaker 1: thousand or more Israeli lives, maybe even thousands, and no 1007 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,040 Speaker 1: as READI leader is ready to take that step at 1008 00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,800 Speaker 1: this stage. Having said that, you know, the citizens of 1009 00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:47,360 Speaker 1: southern Israel, and the citizens of Israel in general are angry. 1010 00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:50,760 Speaker 1: They're frustrated, they see no end in sight, and they're 1011 00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:55,800 Speaker 1: not willing to live under the shadow of this threat forever. Now, 1012 00:59:56,360 --> 01:00:00,439 Speaker 1: the Israelis pulled out of Gaza, right, So you often 1013 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:04,080 Speaker 1: hear people in the media in this country say, well, 1014 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,560 Speaker 1: you know, they they'll talk about the occupation of Gaza, 1015 01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:10,000 Speaker 1: but but there is no occupation of Gaza. How has 1016 01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:16,800 Speaker 1: this affected Israeli opinion about what the proper security posture 1017 01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,680 Speaker 1: is visa vi Gaza, And and you know, just just 1018 01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:22,080 Speaker 1: what is what is this meant inside of the inside 1019 01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:25,280 Speaker 1: of Israeli politics when you see that, you know, they 1020 01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,520 Speaker 1: they pulled out, right, Israeli forces pulled out, and it 1021 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:31,760 Speaker 1: was not some small concession. It involved a lot of 1022 01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:35,800 Speaker 1: logistics and the abandonment of territory and moving settlers and 1023 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:42,240 Speaker 1: and Gaza has not been any but really a problem 1024 01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,080 Speaker 1: for the region. I mean, it's not like Gaza has 1025 01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:47,360 Speaker 1: responded to this by saying, well, well, we'll act in 1026 01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:49,560 Speaker 1: good faith, not going forward, quite the opposite. So I'm 1027 01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:51,920 Speaker 1: just wondering, well, you know, how has that affected the 1028 01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,760 Speaker 1: perception of the pullout and how one must deal with 1029 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,600 Speaker 1: Hamas going forward. You know, that's that's a very good question. 1030 01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:00,920 Speaker 1: And to you know, I was actually on the ground 1031 01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,760 Speaker 1: back in two thousand and five when He's Ready's pulled 1032 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,400 Speaker 1: out of Gather, So I saw, you know, some of 1033 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:10,960 Speaker 1: the sentiments and the and the emotions that that you know, 1034 01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,480 Speaker 1: were felt in the country at the time. And I 1035 01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,840 Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, it's put a 1036 01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:19,800 Speaker 1: nail in the coffin to the land for Peace concepts. 1037 01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,480 Speaker 1: You know, people wonder a couple of weeks ago pregnants 1038 01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:26,160 Speaker 1: and that Nether was reelected. People wonder how there's this 1039 01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:29,720 Speaker 1: sort of permanent majority for the right wing block in Israel, 1040 01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:32,640 Speaker 1: And really that's what that's what it's borne off. I mean, 1041 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 1: even the opposition, even even the major party that gave 1042 01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,080 Speaker 1: him now a run for his money, they're also not 1043 01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,920 Speaker 1: talking about this land for Peace paradigm. I mean, he 1044 01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,360 Speaker 1: is ready tried these ready has tried it with OSLO. 1045 01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:51,280 Speaker 1: They gave you know, a lot of control or autonomy 1046 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,120 Speaker 1: to the kind of sin authority of the PLO, and 1047 01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,440 Speaker 1: they were the response was a secondent to further bombing 1048 01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:02,280 Speaker 1: and blood all over the streets, thousand casualties. They tried 1049 01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:06,320 Speaker 1: it with Southern Lebanon. What they have today is probably 1050 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:09,400 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand rockets pointing at them from 1051 01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:13,040 Speaker 1: hesball of territory in southern Lebanon, and they tried it 1052 01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:17,360 Speaker 1: with Gaza. Every single time they vacate territory, it becomes 1053 01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:24,400 Speaker 1: a terror breeding ground at a terrorist controlled territory that 1054 01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,640 Speaker 1: puts Israel and further and further and further danger. The 1055 01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:31,480 Speaker 1: Israeli people are permanently traumatized by this concept, which is 1056 01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:36,360 Speaker 1: why when we see a new peace plan unveiled by 1057 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:40,080 Speaker 1: the Trump administration, which they've been promising now for some time, 1058 01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,800 Speaker 1: and they're expecting, sometimes they think in the summer to 1059 01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:48,640 Speaker 1: be unveiling, I think that they're going to shy away 1060 01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,280 Speaker 1: from a central socus on the length for peace paradigm 1061 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:56,080 Speaker 1: because there's just no appetized for it in Israel whatsoever. 1062 01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:01,360 Speaker 1: And how is the Trump Administra Asian doing in terms 1063 01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:05,400 Speaker 1: of the relationship with Israel and backing them, and is 1064 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:09,440 Speaker 1: there really is there a feeling of a difference between 1065 01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:13,880 Speaker 1: how Trump and his cabinet and the people that are 1066 01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:18,360 Speaker 1: running national security over here interact with net Yahoo in 1067 01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:22,480 Speaker 1: the Israeli state. From what we saw under the Obama years, Oh, 1068 01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,600 Speaker 1: there's no question. You know. I'm sure you're familiar with 1069 01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:28,560 Speaker 1: the biblical story of Joseph and Farah, the years of 1070 01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,520 Speaker 1: famine and the years of plenty. If the Obama years 1071 01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:35,640 Speaker 1: were the years of famine, these are the years of plenty. 1072 01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:40,160 Speaker 1: There has never been an administration that is more aligned 1073 01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:46,400 Speaker 1: with the Israeli perspective of the region, worldview, ideology, and 1074 01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:50,840 Speaker 1: sent me strategic understandings. And this is not you know, 1075 01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:53,400 Speaker 1: me saying it is a pundit. You know, I've I've 1076 01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:57,840 Speaker 1: heard this from ambassadors, from from ministers Israeli governments and 1077 01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:01,480 Speaker 1: advisors to the Prime Minister. I mean, they almost cannot 1078 01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:04,200 Speaker 1: believe their luck. I mean, that's that's really how how 1079 01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 1: good it is. I mean, we saw yesterday Israel responding 1080 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,560 Speaker 1: to this, this incredible barrage six hundred and ninety or 1081 01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:15,480 Speaker 1: so missiles fired from Garda, four dents on the Israeli side, 1082 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:20,040 Speaker 1: and the American response was, go get them, Asrael. You know, 1083 01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:22,320 Speaker 1: we back you whatever you want to do. We saw that, 1084 01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:26,640 Speaker 1: we saw the Vice President, the President, Secretary of State Pompeo, 1085 01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,480 Speaker 1: who you just played over their all voice in their support. 1086 01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:31,480 Speaker 1: And this would have been unheard of in the Obama 1087 01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:34,320 Speaker 1: administration and even in the Bush administration, you had this 1088 01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:38,040 Speaker 1: sort of support, but there was also this you know, 1089 01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:44,120 Speaker 1: falling on all sides to turne things down, you know, 1090 01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:48,760 Speaker 1: this sort of evening out of the of the playing field, 1091 01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,240 Speaker 1: you know, as opposed to you know, this full show 1092 01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:53,880 Speaker 1: to support for the Israeli position that was seeing today. 1093 01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,000 Speaker 1: Definitely is a difference, and I think it's one that 1094 01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:01,480 Speaker 1: has some very important implications for the re Speaking of which, David, 1095 01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:03,880 Speaker 1: where do you think all this goes? I mean, what 1096 01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:07,360 Speaker 1: are we just in this this cycle for the next 1097 01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,360 Speaker 1: you know, the next ten years. I mean, is there 1098 01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:13,320 Speaker 1: going to ever be some form of of a of 1099 01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,360 Speaker 1: a real Palestinian state that will take shape in some 1100 01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:19,360 Speaker 1: of these territories now where you have a Palestinian majority? 1101 01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:22,160 Speaker 1: You know, what what is the Israeli position on what 1102 01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:24,560 Speaker 1: the what the region should look like in ten or 1103 01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,480 Speaker 1: fifteen years. I think the way that a lot of 1104 01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:30,640 Speaker 1: people feel that there actually is already a Palestinian state. 1105 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:35,560 Speaker 1: I mean, Daza is independently an independent territory that is 1106 01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:39,280 Speaker 1: ruled by Palestinians. And you know, we've we've seen what's 1107 01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:42,120 Speaker 1: what's become of it, So the question is really going 1108 01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:44,640 Speaker 1: to be um, you know, if there's going to be 1109 01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:46,760 Speaker 1: any more land at sea, then I think the answer 1110 01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:49,880 Speaker 1: is no, it's not likely that that's ever going to 1111 01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:52,280 Speaker 1: going to take place. So the question is, you know, 1112 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,200 Speaker 1: what's going to happen with a territory that exists, what's 1113 01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:56,960 Speaker 1: going to happen with Gaza, and what's going to happen 1114 01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:00,520 Speaker 1: with with the West Bank? Um. You know, obviously there'll 1115 01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,760 Speaker 1: be different answers for each of them. With the West Bank, 1116 01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,960 Speaker 1: it seems that there's something of a waiting game going on. 1117 01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:10,400 Speaker 1: You have a bus holding onto control and you know, 1118 01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:16,080 Speaker 1: he's sort of at the twilight of his twilight zone 1119 01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:19,360 Speaker 1: of his career. There's a lot of you know, looking 1120 01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:22,360 Speaker 1: and thinking and seeing who might the likely success of 1121 01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:26,040 Speaker 1: THEE and that that will probably be the most likely 1122 01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:30,600 Speaker 1: scenario or the most likely question that everyone's gonna be 1123 01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,480 Speaker 1: asking before taking further steps. And then there's also been 1124 01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:37,080 Speaker 1: some talk of annexation from the Israeli side of some 1125 01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:40,560 Speaker 1: of the territory over there. It was something that Nahou 1126 01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,920 Speaker 1: spoke of in his campaign. So they we're going to 1127 01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:47,360 Speaker 1: be waiting to see how serious that promise was or 1128 01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:51,240 Speaker 1: that idea was in terms of Gaza, it's run by 1129 01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,080 Speaker 1: from us. So there's only one real way to deal 1130 01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:59,959 Speaker 1: with it, and that's you know, a military invasion, which 1131 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:06,120 Speaker 1: which will be bloody and uh and a really nasty prospect. 1132 01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:09,600 Speaker 1: So in that sense, you know, it's it's the can 1133 01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:13,040 Speaker 1: is just being kicked down the road, and you know 1134 01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:15,000 Speaker 1: it means to be seen if anybody's going to bite 1135 01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,040 Speaker 1: the bullet or if it's or if it's determined that 1136 01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:22,200 Speaker 1: you know, this is we don't think this expected Cushner 1137 01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:27,560 Speaker 1: piece plan. You don't see this going anywhere. Well, the 1138 01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,919 Speaker 1: peace plan, you know, the way that that we see, 1139 01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:32,920 Speaker 1: the way that I see, you know, based on what 1140 01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:37,240 Speaker 1: we've heard, based on what we've seed, uh, should not 1141 01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:41,640 Speaker 1: be viewed, you know, as as a continuation of previous 1142 01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:45,240 Speaker 1: peace plans. You know, this this sort of lamp of 1143 01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:48,880 Speaker 1: peace business. I think they're gonna they're going to present 1144 01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:52,920 Speaker 1: something very very different. Um, They're going to focus on 1145 01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:54,960 Speaker 1: sort of the regional peace. It's not going to be 1146 01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:58,320 Speaker 1: Israel the Palestinians. It's gonna it's gonna be a widening 1147 01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:00,200 Speaker 1: of the piece discussions. It's going to be is on 1148 01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,160 Speaker 1: the our world. There's going to be a lot of 1149 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:08,400 Speaker 1: sort of economic incentives and roadmaps and opportunities that are presented. 1150 01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:11,480 Speaker 1: So I think that the goals are actually very different. 1151 01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we're using similar language, right, we're talking about 1152 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,519 Speaker 1: a peace plan, but I don't think it's going to 1153 01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:20,000 Speaker 1: be anything like any peace time that we've witnessed before. 1154 01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:22,720 Speaker 1: And you know, we see a lot of pundits, you know, 1155 01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,680 Speaker 1: especially you know, former State Department officials and others who 1156 01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:29,400 Speaker 1: are negotiators who are involved in previous discussions, talking about 1157 01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:32,559 Speaker 1: how it's doomed to fail. It may be the case 1158 01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,280 Speaker 1: and it may be the case that the Palestinents will 1159 01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:38,280 Speaker 1: reject it out of hand. But the Americans and the 1160 01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:41,519 Speaker 1: White House and the Chushier team have known this to 1161 01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,200 Speaker 1: day one. They know what the Palestinans will accept and 1162 01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,519 Speaker 1: what they won't accept, and what they're embarking on have 1163 01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,760 Speaker 1: to have to have taken that into consideration. They know 1164 01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,800 Speaker 1: that it's that the Palestinians won't accept it. They're working 1165 01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:57,040 Speaker 1: on a framework that can that can create some value 1166 01:08:57,040 --> 01:09:00,559 Speaker 1: and mootings forward with or without Palestinians. And I think 1167 01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:04,599 Speaker 1: that's going to become clear as more details are emerged. 1168 01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:07,400 Speaker 1: But you know, based on the few comments that we've 1169 01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:10,439 Speaker 1: seen until now and just our understanding of the attitude 1170 01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:12,320 Speaker 1: and the approach, I think what we're going to see 1171 01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 1: is going to be very different to anything we've ever 1172 01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:18,040 Speaker 1: seen before. All right, my friend, thanks so much, David, 1173 01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:20,320 Speaker 1: if you and everybody editor in chief of the Alga Miner, 1174 01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,880 Speaker 1: check out the Algamier for all the latest on news 1175 01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,200 Speaker 1: that affects Israel and the Jewish people in the Middle East. 1176 01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,040 Speaker 1: And great to have you on David. As always, always 1177 01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:30,800 Speaker 1: a plaster book always all right, team we'll be back 1178 01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:35,200 Speaker 1: in just a moment. You are now entering the Freedom 1179 01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:40,040 Speaker 1: Hardt In Elaboration Center. All the program small decapstry. We 1180 01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:44,360 Speaker 1: need to know Team Buck is cleared and ready for 1181 01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:49,240 Speaker 1: the Buck brief. Well, it's likely the Iranians are reacting 1182 01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:52,360 Speaker 1: to designating the IRGC as a terrorist organization and the 1183 01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,680 Speaker 1: fact that the United States will not continue to waivers 1184 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,720 Speaker 1: that five countries have been training oil with Iran and 1185 01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:02,400 Speaker 1: underscoring that is the fact that the sanctions have really 1186 01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:08,760 Speaker 1: taken US toll inside Iran's a US carrier group sent 1187 01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:13,080 Speaker 1: to send a message to the regime in Tehran. Reports 1188 01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:18,120 Speaker 1: of a possible planned attack from the Iranians against US 1189 01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:21,720 Speaker 1: interests or allies somewhere in the Middle East? What is 1190 01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:25,400 Speaker 1: going on here? We have our friend Tony Schaeffer joining 1191 01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:30,080 Speaker 1: us now he's a x DoD intel operative and president 1192 01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:34,040 Speaker 1: of the London Center for Policy Research. Then a CLONL. Schaeffer. 1193 01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:36,840 Speaker 1: Good have you, sir, about always great to bail with you. 1194 01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:38,840 Speaker 1: Thanks for having me? All right, what's what are you 1195 01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:41,760 Speaker 1: seeing with this whole Iran situation? And the headlines today 1196 01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:46,760 Speaker 1: were basically, you know, one Iran is playing a role 1197 01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:51,120 Speaker 1: behind the scenes here with this most recent violence with 1198 01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:55,320 Speaker 1: the Israelis, but also the possibility of some kind of 1199 01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,439 Speaker 1: attack plotting here. What do you make of it? Yeah, 1200 01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:03,920 Speaker 1: there's I appreciate Jack Keane's comments regarding the IRGC, but 1201 01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,320 Speaker 1: I think it's more complex than that. We've been pushing 1202 01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:08,680 Speaker 1: buck as you know, and this year I said, look, 1203 01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:10,960 Speaker 1: I'm not an econ, but I do believe that we 1204 01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,080 Speaker 1: have to be a lot more aggressive than direct in 1205 01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,679 Speaker 1: dealing with the Iranians. And so what this person's done 1206 01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,479 Speaker 1: has actually introduced the concept of accountability to the process. 1207 01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:22,679 Speaker 1: He is working right now to make sure that the 1208 01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:26,880 Speaker 1: economic benefit that the Iranians have enjoyed under the Obama administration, 1209 01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:30,880 Speaker 1: which basically was, yeah, we got sanctions against the Iranians, 1210 01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:33,560 Speaker 1: but we're looking the other way to let our allies 1211 01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:37,040 Speaker 1: pay them money. So the end effect was to really 1212 01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:41,559 Speaker 1: have no effective sanctions and trumps into them. Secondly, regarding 1213 01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:46,080 Speaker 1: the IRGC, in my book Operation Dark Heart, there's a 1214 01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,799 Speaker 1: section the way there where we had to actually break 1215 01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:53,519 Speaker 1: the FBI and I had to interrogate and break an operative. Well, 1216 01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:56,920 Speaker 1: that operative was making bringing money in from the IRGC 1217 01:11:57,120 --> 01:12:01,120 Speaker 1: into Hran, into Afghanistan to pay the Tolly Bond to 1218 01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:04,360 Speaker 1: attack US. Imagine that. So this president again has held 1219 01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:07,280 Speaker 1: the Iranians a much higher and realistic standard. And last 1220 01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:10,240 Speaker 1: I think that because of this all going on a buck, 1221 01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:14,679 Speaker 1: they're now reacting badly. I think they recognize they can't 1222 01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:18,240 Speaker 1: wait Trump out for two years in he's not changed, 1223 01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:20,960 Speaker 1: and I think that's what you see the reaction to. Now. 1224 01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,640 Speaker 1: They're basically saying, we got to go back and be 1225 01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:26,599 Speaker 1: more aggressive to prove the point that we can and 1226 01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:29,120 Speaker 1: try to get the United States to change course. And 1227 01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:35,080 Speaker 1: they're typical and most pervasive tool is terrorism, and I 1228 01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:39,240 Speaker 1: think that's why you're seeing the very I think appropriate 1229 01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:42,880 Speaker 1: response militarily moving forces there. Now, I know that it's 1230 01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:46,080 Speaker 1: asking maybe a bit much to get you to mirror 1231 01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:50,200 Speaker 1: image the thinking of Momola's here Tony, but for them 1232 01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:54,080 Speaker 1: to lash out with this administration, it just feels like, 1233 01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:59,439 Speaker 1: how in what universe is that going to get them 1234 01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:04,519 Speaker 1: they want, which is essentially, I'm not a cessation of 1235 01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:07,479 Speaker 1: the sanctions, but at least maybe some kind of relief 1236 01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:11,599 Speaker 1: or some think twice attitude from the administration about putting 1237 01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:14,120 Speaker 1: even more sanctions on. Do you think that's just a 1238 01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:17,880 Speaker 1: miscalculation from their perspective? I mean, how do you think 1239 01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:21,040 Speaker 1: they see this? Yeah, I think there's two pieces at 1240 01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:24,439 Speaker 1: play here. I think first off is that yes, they 1241 01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:27,439 Speaker 1: want to be seen as fierce, and the way they 1242 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:30,280 Speaker 1: do that is by putting their back up and jumping 1243 01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:32,400 Speaker 1: into this. But I think the more important messaging here, 1244 01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:37,519 Speaker 1: Buck is to our allies. Remember when right after I 1245 01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:41,759 Speaker 1: think there was two thousand two or three, I can't exactly. 1246 01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:42,880 Speaker 1: I think it was two thousand and two of the 1247 01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:46,800 Speaker 1: Madrid train bombings of al Qaeda. There have been attacks, 1248 01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:50,680 Speaker 1: terror attacks which actually have changed the thinking of some 1249 01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:54,080 Speaker 1: of our allies. Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to 1250 01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:55,760 Speaker 1: be an effective tactic that I to say that the 1251 01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:59,920 Speaker 1: Iranians try to do some things on the edges. You know, 1252 01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:03,599 Speaker 1: our friend, my friend, Ambassador Rick Grinnell has been very 1253 01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,400 Speaker 1: clear on on getting the European alli, especially Germany, to 1254 01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:09,360 Speaker 1: play take a harder line. So I don't think it's 1255 01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:12,879 Speaker 1: going to work. But I think when you're when you're 1256 01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:17,240 Speaker 1: basis for thinking is religion, and that's what the Malas do. 1257 01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,960 Speaker 1: I think they have almost a flight of fantasy, thinking 1258 01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:25,920 Speaker 1: that somehow they can do these things and achieve a 1259 01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,280 Speaker 1: favorable outcome to their cost. I just I think there's 1260 01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:30,880 Speaker 1: a huge miscalculation. But again I think they're basing it 1261 01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:33,320 Speaker 1: partly on the Europeans caving before on some other issues. 1262 01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:36,880 Speaker 1: What do you think the Trump administration should do the 1263 01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,439 Speaker 1: next eighteen months where at least we know Trump will 1264 01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:41,200 Speaker 1: be the commander in chief. I mean, I'm assuming it'll 1265 01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:43,479 Speaker 1: be a lot longer than that. But what should they 1266 01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:47,400 Speaker 1: What should be the game plan with Iran to continue 1267 01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:50,360 Speaker 1: the current I mean, you you support what the administrations 1268 01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,479 Speaker 1: that are doing. I support it as well. What are 1269 01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:55,160 Speaker 1: the goals? What are what are the next steps? Well, 1270 01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:58,160 Speaker 1: this is going to be a controversial one. Buck, and 1271 01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:00,920 Speaker 1: I think the number one thing is regime change. Look, 1272 01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:06,439 Speaker 1: we watched during the Obama administration the Arab Spring. We 1273 01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:09,439 Speaker 1: missed an opportunity to see the Persian Spring. In two 1274 01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:12,760 Speaker 1: thousand and nine, the Green movement in Iran was very 1275 01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:16,800 Speaker 1: much alive and wanted to throw off the yoke of totalitarianism. 1276 01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:18,320 Speaker 1: They wanted to get rid of the mullas, they wanted 1277 01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:20,560 Speaker 1: to get rid of the theocracy, and we fail to 1278 01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:23,479 Speaker 1: be their form. So I believe the best way that 1279 01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:28,759 Speaker 1: nuclearize Iran to make sure they've never get an ecular weaponsiscent. Basically, 1280 01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:31,920 Speaker 1: you encourage a new regime to commit a real democracy. 1281 01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,479 Speaker 1: So that's the first thing. And I'm sure people don't 1282 01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:36,559 Speaker 1: like her in that, and I don't think we should 1283 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:38,040 Speaker 1: do it for them. I'm not for us going in. 1284 01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,639 Speaker 1: I'm saying that the people have the right to be free, 1285 01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:43,559 Speaker 1: they should do that. Secondly, we should continue to work 1286 01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:46,639 Speaker 1: with our allies in the region to minimize the ability 1287 01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:51,120 Speaker 1: of the Iranians to gain access to hard currency. They 1288 01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:54,240 Speaker 1: actually have a very robust economy right now. I think 1289 01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:57,120 Speaker 1: they're doing much better than they led on and we 1290 01:15:57,160 --> 01:16:00,200 Speaker 1: need to continue to do things to strangle off the leadership, 1291 01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:02,960 Speaker 1: not the people, but the leadership. And third, and most importantly, 1292 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:06,680 Speaker 1: as they go about trying to launch terror operations in 1293 01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:11,280 Speaker 1: the region, we retaliate with very strong, very precise military actions, 1294 01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:13,639 Speaker 1: which again I think that's why you're seeing the military 1295 01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:17,479 Speaker 1: elements move into the region. Today we're speaking to Tony Schaefer, 1296 01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:22,880 Speaker 1: President London Center for Policy Research XDOD INTEL Operative. Tony, 1297 01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,679 Speaker 1: let's move to Venezuela for respect a second. Speaking about 1298 01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:28,679 Speaker 1: regime change that one feels like it might be imminent. 1299 01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:32,160 Speaker 1: But you know, I actually am somebody who does have 1300 01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:34,160 Speaker 1: a little bit of I get a little uncomfortable and 1301 01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:36,680 Speaker 1: I hear all options on the table. Okay, fine, all 1302 01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:39,000 Speaker 1: options should really always be on the table when you're 1303 01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:43,200 Speaker 1: talking about national security of the United States. But this 1304 01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:47,840 Speaker 1: notion of a military intervention of Venezuela, how serious should 1305 01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:49,880 Speaker 1: we view that from the administration's point of view, What 1306 01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:52,160 Speaker 1: would be the circumstances and which that would happen. And 1307 01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:54,839 Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to make Venezuela our problem 1308 01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:57,680 Speaker 1: more so than we have to. That's my concern. Well, 1309 01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:00,120 Speaker 1: that's you and I share that point. Look, it's not 1310 01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:02,439 Speaker 1: our job to fix Venezuela and Venezuela got to words 1311 01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:05,160 Speaker 1: that because of their own problems. So you roll in 1312 01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:07,360 Speaker 1: there and try to fix it, you're responsible, as we 1313 01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:09,960 Speaker 1: saw in Iraq. So I'm much more of a mind 1314 01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:13,200 Speaker 1: to continue to be helpful. Obviously, if Americans are attacked, 1315 01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:16,400 Speaker 1: we need to consider how to defend the Americans and 1316 01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:19,639 Speaker 1: our equities. But with that said, you know, I think 1317 01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:22,719 Speaker 1: there are allies within the region, the Brazilians and others 1318 01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:25,920 Speaker 1: so very much have seen the very same things worth seeing. 1319 01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:27,919 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way they live there, there are neighbors. 1320 01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:30,120 Speaker 1: Maybe they ought to be the ones who think about 1321 01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:32,960 Speaker 1: jumping in and actually doing something to help bring a 1322 01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:36,720 Speaker 1: positive political change to that country. So if there's going 1323 01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:40,640 Speaker 1: to be military action, and Joe Dunford, General Dunford has 1324 01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:43,080 Speaker 1: done a very good job of something called to buy 1325 01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:47,120 Speaker 1: with and through strategy, and we effectively were able to 1326 01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:50,400 Speaker 1: beat back ISIS in Iraq by not putting overwhelming US 1327 01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:53,719 Speaker 1: military force on the ground, but by organizing our allies 1328 01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:56,639 Speaker 1: to be effective as a military force as a proxy 1329 01:17:56,680 --> 01:18:02,760 Speaker 1: and effective conduit of supporting our policy, which was to 1330 01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:06,320 Speaker 1: free the Iraqi people. So I think the very same 1331 01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:08,280 Speaker 1: thing that needs to be looked at here is that 1332 01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:11,200 Speaker 1: how do we organize our allies in the region to 1333 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,680 Speaker 1: be successful and what does that look like? And I 1334 01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:17,840 Speaker 1: think that's the preferable path forward. I think we are 1335 01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:20,680 Speaker 1: far better off with our allies in the region than 1336 01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:23,000 Speaker 1: we've led on. I've talked to some folks to Tinagon 1337 01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:25,400 Speaker 1: who ind Kate that they've got some very strong alliances. 1338 01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:27,760 Speaker 1: But Bucket, there's going to be military action, should not 1339 01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:30,160 Speaker 1: be us. If it's going to be military action that 1340 01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:33,200 Speaker 1: we want to see a proper outcome, we should be helpful, 1341 01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:35,000 Speaker 1: but it should not be We should not be the 1342 01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:36,719 Speaker 1: ones leading it, and we should not be the ones 1343 01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:39,400 Speaker 1: having to carry the consequences of anything that goes wrong 1344 01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:43,160 Speaker 1: or having to sustain the vineasp playing people after whatever happens, 1345 01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:45,040 Speaker 1: we got less than a minute. I just want to 1346 01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:47,760 Speaker 1: ask you, do you think Maduro hangs on or you 1347 01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:49,599 Speaker 1: think he's on the way out now. I think he's 1348 01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:51,320 Speaker 1: on the way out. I think the only thing that's 1349 01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:53,400 Speaker 1: keeping in there right now. I tend to believe this 1350 01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:55,200 Speaker 1: is the Russians. I think the Russians have said some 1351 01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:57,960 Speaker 1: things to him to encourage him, and I think this 1352 01:18:58,000 --> 01:18:59,479 Speaker 1: is where we need to put some pressure on Putin 1353 01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:02,880 Speaker 1: and the Chinese to let them carry the message for 1354 01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:06,760 Speaker 1: us as well. So, Lieutenant Colonel Schaeffer, always great to 1355 01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:08,600 Speaker 1: have you on, sir, looking forward to going shooting with 1356 01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:12,080 Speaker 1: you soon, very soon. Get you get your ten milimeter 1357 01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:14,960 Speaker 1: nine milimeter A ready all right, So let's go by friend, 1358 01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,479 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Gotta check out London Center for 1359 01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:21,640 Speaker 1: Policy Research and team. We are gonna roll into a 1360 01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:24,639 Speaker 1: break here in just a moment. We're gonna have oh 1361 01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:27,760 Speaker 1: so much more show coming your way. So stay with me. 1362 01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:33,320 Speaker 1: It's again out in front of Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania. 1363 01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:35,960 Speaker 1: It's not only in my district, just the most heavily 1364 01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,639 Speaker 1: protested planned parenthood I believe in the country. And today's 1365 01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:42,800 Speaker 1: protester now, she is an old white lady who's gonna 1366 01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:46,160 Speaker 1: try to avoid showing you her face. But the same 1367 01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:49,640 Speaker 1: law is unluckily to protect her from being out here 1368 01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:52,120 Speaker 1: also protect me from showing you who she is. So 1369 01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:53,439 Speaker 1: I have a couple of questions for you, ma'am. How 1370 01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:56,880 Speaker 1: how many children have you clothed today? I'm sorry I 1371 01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:59,720 Speaker 1: missed your answer. How many children have you clothed today? 1372 01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,320 Speaker 1: How about how many children have you put shoes on 1373 01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:05,320 Speaker 1: their feet today? Have you fed any children today or 1374 01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,200 Speaker 1: have you just stood out in front of a planned 1375 01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:10,240 Speaker 1: parenthood shaming people for something that they have a constitutional 1376 01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:14,280 Speaker 1: right to do. Huh, you're out here shaming people who 1377 01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:16,200 Speaker 1: would have thought that an old white lady would be 1378 01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:18,439 Speaker 1: out in front of a plan parenthood telling people what's 1379 01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:23,440 Speaker 1: right for their bodies. That it was Pennsylvania State Representative 1380 01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:31,400 Speaker 1: Brian Simms harassing an elderly woman who was standing outside 1381 01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:33,840 Speaker 1: of a plan parent whood trying to convince women not 1382 01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:38,000 Speaker 1: to make the irrevocable and life altering in a very 1383 01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:41,080 Speaker 1: bad way decision to aboard a pregnancy to kill a 1384 01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:45,240 Speaker 1: baby's I think a very honorable thing to do. I'm 1385 01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:49,080 Speaker 1: sure she has probably saved lives, and whether she has 1386 01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,639 Speaker 1: been successful or not, she's certainly trying to save lives 1387 01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:56,200 Speaker 1: by being out there. And yet Pennsylvania State Representative Brian 1388 01:20:56,360 --> 01:21:00,080 Speaker 1: Simms thinks that he should make a video of her, 1389 01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:04,440 Speaker 1: harass her, mock her, talk about all there's a constitutional 1390 01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:06,879 Speaker 1: right to the there is no constitutional right to an abortion, 1391 01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:09,519 Speaker 1: all right. There's a Supreme Court decision that made up 1392 01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:12,240 Speaker 1: a constitutional right to an abortion. That is the single 1393 01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:19,439 Speaker 1: greatest act of constitutional destruction in the last let's call 1394 01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:22,840 Speaker 1: it in the post World War two era, all right, 1395 01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:27,880 Speaker 1: meaning that that was the most egregious usurpation of the 1396 01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:34,000 Speaker 1: English language, relate to or and of constitutional jurisprudence to 1397 01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:36,920 Speaker 1: create a right where none existed. But people still say this, 1398 01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:38,920 Speaker 1: there's a constitutional right to this, and that no one 1399 01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,120 Speaker 1: really believes there's a constitutional right to an abortion, and 1400 01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:44,800 Speaker 1: it's just that's just idiocy. People can believe if they want, 1401 01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:46,960 Speaker 1: that an abortion is not a terrible thing that we 1402 01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:52,320 Speaker 1: should all try to limit and then eliminate from American society. 1403 01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:55,760 Speaker 1: They can believe that they can't believe that there's a 1404 01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:58,599 Speaker 1: constitutional right to an abortion. That's just stupid. No one 1405 01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:00,479 Speaker 1: really think. No one thinks the Founding others like I 1406 01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:04,200 Speaker 1: got an idea, let's do this. Let's write in a 1407 01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:09,360 Speaker 1: constitutional right to an abortion procedure that didn't even exists 1408 01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:10,920 Speaker 1: at the time. And I'm sure if the Founding fathers 1409 01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:12,640 Speaker 1: knew about it would have been rather horrified by it. 1410 01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:16,000 Speaker 1: But anyway, this is also though, is a reminder for me, 1411 01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:17,840 Speaker 1: by the way, producer, Mike, do you know you're you're 1412 01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:20,320 Speaker 1: always my Pennsylvania expert. Do you know this State Rep. 1413 01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:22,360 Speaker 1: Brian Sims. You ever heard of this guy before? Now? 1414 01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:25,560 Speaker 1: I haven't heard of him until today. Actually, what a 1415 01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:29,360 Speaker 1: what a jerk? Yeah, that was pretty classless movement. The 1416 01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:31,760 Speaker 1: video of it showing it was even worse than it 1417 01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:35,360 Speaker 1: sounded because he was stalking her and she was trying 1418 01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:37,519 Speaker 1: to avoid him and that be confrontational. She wasn't an 1419 01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:40,000 Speaker 1: old lady and he just would not. He was circling 1420 01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:42,000 Speaker 1: her and getting in her face. It was pretty disgusting. 1421 01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:45,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, man, I mean just also as a guy, 1422 01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:50,719 Speaker 1: as a man to corner and harass on the street. 1423 01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:54,160 Speaker 1: You know, an old lady like that who wasn't bothering him. 1424 01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:57,280 Speaker 1: She was just she She does have a constitutional right, 1425 01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:01,480 Speaker 1: although you'll notice the abortion extremist or as trying to 1426 01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:04,280 Speaker 1: truncate the right to free speech when it comes to 1427 01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:06,760 Speaker 1: opposing abortion. Then you know, you have to keep a 1428 01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:09,200 Speaker 1: certain distance from the clinic and you're not allowed to 1429 01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:11,200 Speaker 1: you know. You know, they're always trying to just be 1430 01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:15,280 Speaker 1: a little totalitarians in favor of the the death cult 1431 01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:19,920 Speaker 1: that they've been supporting since Roe v. Wade. But you know, 1432 01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:22,840 Speaker 1: Brian Sims, even apart from the substance of this issue, 1433 01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:26,400 Speaker 1: on which he is very very wrong. I believe he's 1434 01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:30,439 Speaker 1: a noted LGBTQ activist as well. That's something that I 1435 01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:32,040 Speaker 1: just read a little bit about this guy that I 1436 01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:36,000 Speaker 1: had never heard about him before. But he approaches a 1437 01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:39,720 Speaker 1: woman's way, and it's so aggressive and so so dishonorable. 1438 01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:43,519 Speaker 1: I mean, there's just something about being an an able bodied, 1439 01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:46,560 Speaker 1: you know, male in your forties who is going to 1440 01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:49,000 Speaker 1: get up in the face of and really try it. 1441 01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:50,559 Speaker 1: He's trying to scare her. I mean, he's trying to 1442 01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:54,439 Speaker 1: scare away a person that is described and I don't 1443 01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:55,800 Speaker 1: mean this in a mocking way, as a little old 1444 01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:58,960 Speaker 1: lady who is just hoping that she can convince some 1445 01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:00,720 Speaker 1: women don't have an abortion and have the baby that 1446 01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:02,800 Speaker 1: is growing in your womb. Just just do that. That's 1447 01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,840 Speaker 1: a better that's a better decision. Um. You know, go 1448 01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:07,880 Speaker 1: to a crisis pregnancy center where they will help you 1449 01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:09,600 Speaker 1: with this, you know, go to a place where you know, 1450 01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:11,839 Speaker 1: go to your church, go to your synagogue, go somewhere 1451 01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:14,080 Speaker 1: where there will be support for you. Don't don't do this, 1452 01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:19,519 Speaker 1: don't go to Planned parenthood. And yet he thought it 1453 01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:21,360 Speaker 1: was a good idea to harast this woman. I just 1454 01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:25,800 Speaker 1: note that the left has this this this pr in 1455 01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,880 Speaker 1: place of how they're the nice ones, you know, they're 1456 01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:32,559 Speaker 1: the ones that care about people. And I know you 1457 01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:34,599 Speaker 1: know this without be telling you, but it's just it's 1458 01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:38,519 Speaker 1: not true. In fact, I find that the left is, 1459 01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:40,800 Speaker 1: especially when you're talking about the hard left people that 1460 01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:45,040 Speaker 1: are are real ideologues, that are are true progressives, they 1461 01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:49,400 Speaker 1: are many of the nastiest, h dishonorable. And I really 1462 01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:51,040 Speaker 1: I use that word a lot, I know, but you know, 1463 01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:53,439 Speaker 1: honor is something that you either have or you don't, 1464 01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:56,280 Speaker 1: and it comes from within and and it's about how 1465 01:24:56,320 --> 01:25:00,240 Speaker 1: you carry yourself, how you how you conduct yourself to today, 1466 01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,439 Speaker 1: how you interact with people around you? Is your word 1467 01:25:02,479 --> 01:25:04,519 Speaker 1: to be trusted? Do you think of other people and 1468 01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:07,679 Speaker 1: not just yourself? Do you do you have a sense 1469 01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:13,040 Speaker 1: that you are upholding not just your own reputation, but 1470 01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:16,320 Speaker 1: but but building on your soul day in and day out. 1471 01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:18,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you're actually growing as a human being by 1472 01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:20,439 Speaker 1: the way you interact with other people and the way 1473 01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:22,960 Speaker 1: that you treat them. And you know, do you have 1474 01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:27,440 Speaker 1: some aspiration to be to be decent in your conduct 1475 01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:29,960 Speaker 1: all the time? Do you hold yourself to standards? I 1476 01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,840 Speaker 1: mean that's where that's where honor comes from. These progressives, 1477 01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:35,320 Speaker 1: they think that's like an antiquated nonsense. I mean, they 1478 01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:37,599 Speaker 1: have no interest in being honorable. They have no interest 1479 01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:40,280 Speaker 1: in being kind and being thoughtful. In fact, many of 1480 01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:44,680 Speaker 1: the worst organizations in media, the very worst organizations in 1481 01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:48,720 Speaker 1: my opinion, that are considered somewhat mainstream, are hard left 1482 01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:52,960 Speaker 1: organizations places like Media Matters for America and uh, you know, 1483 01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:57,519 Speaker 1: or organizations that do all these boycotts and all these 1484 01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:01,120 Speaker 1: efforts to destroy and take down these They're merciless, absolutely mercials. 1485 01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:06,320 Speaker 1: I mean, the progressives are without without decency, without honor, 1486 01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:11,000 Speaker 1: without mercy. And not only are they getting in an 1487 01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:12,640 Speaker 1: old woman's face here we want of them getting an 1488 01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:14,920 Speaker 1: old woman's face because she doesn't want people to kill babies, 1489 01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:18,559 Speaker 1: but there's really a kind of glee at humiliating this 1490 01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:21,879 Speaker 1: old lady, putting your own video, having the video go viral. 1491 01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:24,120 Speaker 1: Show you know, he was proud of this. He took 1492 01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:27,080 Speaker 1: the video. He wants everyone to see he's humiliating old lady. 1493 01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:28,680 Speaker 1: If I were this guy, I wouldn't be able to 1494 01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:31,360 Speaker 1: sleep for a month after acting this way. I mean, 1495 01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:33,479 Speaker 1: I would never act this way because I'm not a 1496 01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:39,040 Speaker 1: piece of scum, but he's proud of this progressive It's 1497 01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:40,919 Speaker 1: as much as I want to lect you about Trump 1498 01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:42,800 Speaker 1: and old Trump is so mean and this other thing 1499 01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:47,080 Speaker 1: Trump Trump because a counterpuncher. Trump doesn't, you know, chase 1500 01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:50,080 Speaker 1: around little old ladies and harass them and say horrible 1501 01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:51,640 Speaker 1: things to them, and is really mean to them for 1502 01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:54,360 Speaker 1: no reason. Progressives do that and they're proud of it. 1503 01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:58,200 Speaker 1: They're proud of it. So I think that's worth remembering 1504 01:26:58,200 --> 01:26:59,559 Speaker 1: the next time I want to give you a lecture 1505 01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:03,680 Speaker 1: about ncy and restoring decency to our politics. Progressivism is 1506 01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:09,120 Speaker 1: oftentimes incredibly indecent in the way that it treats people, 1507 01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:12,800 Speaker 1: and it is always indecent when it comes to the 1508 01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:17,479 Speaker 1: issue of life and abortion and the protection of the unborn. 1509 01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:20,360 Speaker 1: So I just I have a very different takeaway than 1510 01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:23,400 Speaker 1: the State Rep. Ryan Simms here. Why don't you try 1511 01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:25,240 Speaker 1: that with me sometime. Put put in a little video 1512 01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:26,680 Speaker 1: camera in my face and try to be a tough guy, 1513 01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:28,880 Speaker 1: try to be a smart guy. Simms. We'll see, We'll 1514 01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:31,240 Speaker 1: see how that goes for you. It's a little a 1515 01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:34,000 Speaker 1: little friendly invitation or not so friendly really. For the 1516 01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:37,280 Speaker 1: first time on the Buck Sexton Show Team, I get 1517 01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:41,120 Speaker 1: to introduce you to one of the true professionals in 1518 01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:44,040 Speaker 1: this business and one of the nicest people in the 1519 01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:47,840 Speaker 1: business as well. She is, of course, the anchor at 1520 01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,960 Speaker 1: eleven o'clock on Fox News, and she has a new 1521 01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:55,440 Speaker 1: book out, Finding the bright Side, The Art of Chasing 1522 01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:59,719 Speaker 1: What Matters. We have the wonderful Shannon Bream joining us now. Shannon, 1523 01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:02,040 Speaker 1: thank you for making the time. Buck. I am so 1524 01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:03,679 Speaker 1: happy to be with you. I feel a little funny 1525 01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:06,720 Speaker 1: because usually I'm asking you all the questions. This is 1526 01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:09,519 Speaker 1: quite a role reversal. So well, I'll see if I 1527 01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:12,920 Speaker 1: can if I can get myself into the mindset here, Shannon. 1528 01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:15,519 Speaker 1: But I want you to just tell me about this book, 1529 01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:18,000 Speaker 1: The Art of Chasing What Matters, why you write it, 1530 01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:19,960 Speaker 1: and what do people need to know? You know what? 1531 01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:22,640 Speaker 1: I think everybody all of us have common threads kind 1532 01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:26,160 Speaker 1: of in life, hitting really tough times and figuring out 1533 01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:28,400 Speaker 1: how you move forward from there. I mean, I share 1534 01:28:28,439 --> 01:28:30,240 Speaker 1: some of the worst and toughest times in my life 1535 01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:33,040 Speaker 1: for sure. And finding out that I have a genetic 1536 01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:36,320 Speaker 1: illness that there's really no cure for it, unfortunately, and 1537 01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:38,439 Speaker 1: kind of learning to try to advocate for myself in 1538 01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:41,280 Speaker 1: the midst of that, but you know, tough times with 1539 01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:43,360 Speaker 1: my husband as well, going through his own trouble with 1540 01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:46,200 Speaker 1: a brain tumor. And you know, I think everybody in life, 1541 01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:48,080 Speaker 1: it may be a different thing, may be financial, maybe 1542 01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:50,280 Speaker 1: losing someone you love. I mean, I went to some 1543 01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:52,680 Speaker 1: really dark places, but I found hope in that and 1544 01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:55,280 Speaker 1: came out the other side. And I really wanted the 1545 01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:57,519 Speaker 1: book just to be an encouragement to people that wherever 1546 01:28:57,640 --> 01:29:00,120 Speaker 1: you are, there are good things, there is hope, there 1547 01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:02,559 Speaker 1: are lifelines you can reach out to. And of course 1548 01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:04,519 Speaker 1: I tell a lot of stories where I laugh at myself, 1549 01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:06,280 Speaker 1: and I'm happy to do that so helpfully people who 1550 01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:09,760 Speaker 1: laugh along. But that as well. Now you mentioned your 1551 01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:11,840 Speaker 1: your husband, who I've met, is a great guy, and 1552 01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:14,920 Speaker 1: he seems to be everything. Seems like you know, he's 1553 01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:17,439 Speaker 1: healthy and going well. Now when you talk about a 1554 01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:19,519 Speaker 1: brain term, though, it's one of the scariest things anybody 1555 01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:23,160 Speaker 1: can hear about anyone, any loved one in moments like that, 1556 01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:26,439 Speaker 1: when you are going through that process, and where did 1557 01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:28,400 Speaker 1: you turn, Where did you turn for strength, and where 1558 01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:31,799 Speaker 1: did you turn to help put you in a position 1559 01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:34,000 Speaker 1: to fight through and come out on the other side. 1560 01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:36,320 Speaker 1: I mean, for me, the number one thing in my 1561 01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:38,519 Speaker 1: life is my faith, and so I know for a 1562 01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:40,880 Speaker 1: lot of people it's a place of comfort to say, listen, 1563 01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:44,360 Speaker 1: there's a bigger plan than me. This is I believe 1564 01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:46,320 Speaker 1: you know, my faith is a Christian This is not 1565 01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:50,280 Speaker 1: a surprise to God, my father. I mean, he knew 1566 01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:51,920 Speaker 1: this was coming. He's going to walk us through it 1567 01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:54,400 Speaker 1: one way or the other. And so for me, that's 1568 01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:58,720 Speaker 1: that's incredibly comforting and knowing that good or bad, I mean, 1569 01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:01,240 Speaker 1: there is purpose in all of it, and um finding 1570 01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:03,680 Speaker 1: strength there. And you know, in turn from that, there 1571 01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:06,160 Speaker 1: were complete strangers who were people at churches that would 1572 01:30:06,200 --> 01:30:08,840 Speaker 1: hear about what was going on with my husband and 1573 01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:10,760 Speaker 1: that would send us notes. I mean, these are people 1574 01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:13,160 Speaker 1: that I'll never meet, but they share our faith and 1575 01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:14,760 Speaker 1: wanted to say, hey, we're praying for you, we heard 1576 01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:17,640 Speaker 1: about it through the grapevine, and we're just supporting you. 1577 01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:20,439 Speaker 1: And that was incredibly encouraging to think people I may 1578 01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:24,160 Speaker 1: never meet this side of heaven wanted to reach out 1579 01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:25,840 Speaker 1: and just say we're with you in this, that there's 1580 01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:28,400 Speaker 1: a broader, you know, world of faith and family of 1581 01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:31,960 Speaker 1: faith that is reaching out to hold up even if 1582 01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:35,000 Speaker 1: you don't know their names, and it's just a beautiful thing. 1583 01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:38,600 Speaker 1: You know. You see you see someone like you on 1584 01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:41,320 Speaker 1: TV and you're a Fox News anchor, and I'm sure 1585 01:30:41,320 --> 01:30:44,320 Speaker 1: to many of the millions of people who watch your 1586 01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:47,599 Speaker 1: show across the country, and I think this is common. 1587 01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:51,479 Speaker 1: People elevate those who are successful, who have reached a 1588 01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:54,000 Speaker 1: level similar to where you are in your career, but 1589 01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:58,080 Speaker 1: particularly in TV and media, and there's this perception that 1590 01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:01,439 Speaker 1: you know, you've, you've it's just all been lined up 1591 01:31:01,479 --> 01:31:02,920 Speaker 1: the way it was supposed to be shit. And you know, 1592 01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:05,280 Speaker 1: I hear there's some people all the time about different people. 1593 01:31:05,320 --> 01:31:08,479 Speaker 1: And I'm friendly enough with some of the folks like 1594 01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:11,280 Speaker 1: you who are at the pinnacles of their careers where 1595 01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:13,160 Speaker 1: I could say, well, I could actually tell you a 1596 01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:15,400 Speaker 1: story about you know, and you're telling them obviously in 1597 01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:17,880 Speaker 1: your book. Do you come across a fair amount of 1598 01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:20,120 Speaker 1: that where people are are just really surprised that it 1599 01:31:20,160 --> 01:31:23,720 Speaker 1: hasn't just been like one string of our victories and 1600 01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:26,400 Speaker 1: ease after another, that you actually had to turn to 1601 01:31:26,439 --> 01:31:28,840 Speaker 1: your faith as well, that you've had struggles that are 1602 01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:31,200 Speaker 1: as very real as anything can get in life. I mean, 1603 01:31:31,240 --> 01:31:33,120 Speaker 1: do come across that when you talk to me about 1604 01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:35,400 Speaker 1: the book. I sure do. And the thing is, I'm 1605 01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:38,799 Speaker 1: so happy to be vulnerable and transparent about that, because 1606 01:31:39,160 --> 01:31:40,960 Speaker 1: I think when you look at someone and think, oh gosh, 1607 01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:42,920 Speaker 1: their life is so great and easy and everything's fallen 1608 01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:45,400 Speaker 1: into place, I think that can be really discouraging to 1609 01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:47,759 Speaker 1: the average person out there, because we all are average 1610 01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:51,000 Speaker 1: people with struggles and trouble, and so I'm really happy 1611 01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:53,320 Speaker 1: to just kind of pull back the curtain and say, nope, 1612 01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:55,680 Speaker 1: I've been in the dumps before, I've had trouble. And 1613 01:31:56,360 --> 01:31:58,360 Speaker 1: you know, my first TV job, I got fired. The 1614 01:31:58,400 --> 01:32:00,960 Speaker 1: guy told me I was hideous, the worst person he's 1615 01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:03,080 Speaker 1: ever seen on TV, and I had no chance of 1616 01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:05,519 Speaker 1: making it in this business. And I'd love to tell 1617 01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:08,040 Speaker 1: that to our college associates and young people who come 1618 01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:09,920 Speaker 1: to tour through college and that kind of thing, to say, 1619 01:32:10,320 --> 01:32:12,679 Speaker 1: It's okay, if you get fired, it's going to probably 1620 01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:14,599 Speaker 1: happen to all of us at least once in our lives. 1621 01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:19,040 Speaker 1: But if you have a dream, if you believe in yourself, 1622 01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:21,720 Speaker 1: if you pick yourself back up, just keep fighting. I mean, 1623 01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:23,439 Speaker 1: you may go in a different direction than you ever 1624 01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:26,080 Speaker 1: thought you would. Certainly that's the case for me, But 1625 01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:28,200 Speaker 1: she may end up in an even better place. And 1626 01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:31,280 Speaker 1: I'm happy to tell people. Listen, I've fallen down a 1627 01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:33,800 Speaker 1: flight of stairs in front of a room full of dignitaries. 1628 01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:36,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I've gotten fired. Whatever it is. I think 1629 01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:38,680 Speaker 1: it's good for people to know. No, there's been a 1630 01:32:38,720 --> 01:32:41,240 Speaker 1: lot of bumps along the road, but you still just 1631 01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:45,760 Speaker 1: keep fighting, Shannon, What really matters? Before we let you go, 1632 01:32:45,800 --> 01:32:47,360 Speaker 1: I just want to know that it's in the title 1633 01:32:47,360 --> 01:32:50,000 Speaker 1: of the book. For people who are listening, some of 1634 01:32:50,040 --> 01:32:52,439 Speaker 1: them probably right now or having their own you know, 1635 01:32:52,760 --> 01:32:55,639 Speaker 1: at a point in their lives where things aren't adding 1636 01:32:55,680 --> 01:32:57,679 Speaker 1: up the way they're supposed to. They've got their own struggles, 1637 01:32:57,680 --> 01:33:00,240 Speaker 1: their own problems, and hearing from you make of them 1638 01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:03,519 Speaker 1: a bit of inspiration. What really does matter? Yeah, I 1639 01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:05,719 Speaker 1: mean for me, it's not what the world quote unquote 1640 01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:08,439 Speaker 1: tells you. The money in your bank account, or the 1641 01:33:08,520 --> 01:33:12,679 Speaker 1: cars or the trophy spouse or you know, that promotion. 1642 01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:14,719 Speaker 1: It's really not there. I mean, if you're a person 1643 01:33:14,760 --> 01:33:16,800 Speaker 1: of faith, I think it's in that. I think it's 1644 01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:18,960 Speaker 1: in your relationships and your family and friends. The people 1645 01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:21,120 Speaker 1: who do not care about any of that stuff. They're 1646 01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:24,240 Speaker 1: going to be there with you, side by side through 1647 01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:26,439 Speaker 1: the good and the bad. And I think being able 1648 01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:28,400 Speaker 1: to be vulnerable and open up to people when you're 1649 01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:31,320 Speaker 1: really struggling, there will always be at least one person, 1650 01:33:31,320 --> 01:33:33,120 Speaker 1: even if it's a stranger, that you can get a 1651 01:33:33,120 --> 01:33:35,840 Speaker 1: lifeline from and keep moving and just ask for help. 1652 01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:40,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that relationships are really kind of 1653 01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:42,320 Speaker 1: the fabric of our whole life, and when we're pursuing 1654 01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:45,160 Speaker 1: other things to the detriment of our relationships, we're really 1655 01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:48,760 Speaker 1: missing out on. To me, what matters most, Finding the 1656 01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:52,720 Speaker 1: bright Side, The Art of Chasing What matters. That's the 1657 01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:56,240 Speaker 1: book by Shannon Bream. You can get it now on Amazon, 1658 01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:59,120 Speaker 1: and Shannon, thank you so much for joining us, and 1659 01:33:59,160 --> 01:34:01,080 Speaker 1: also thank you for being so kind as to have 1660 01:34:01,200 --> 01:34:04,240 Speaker 1: me drop by your Fox show. Always a pleasure and 1661 01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:06,320 Speaker 1: an honor, and best of luck to the book and 1662 01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:08,960 Speaker 1: give the Hubs my regards. I will thank you, Buck 1663 01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:11,799 Speaker 1: and come back soon. All right, thanks so much, Team, 1664 01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:19,599 Speaker 1: We'll be right back, Team Bucking. It's time for roll call. 1665 01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:32,560 Speaker 1: Roll call time. Everybody who missed the roll call. I 1666 01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:34,479 Speaker 1: missed the roll call. I've been a few days a 1667 01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:37,680 Speaker 1: few days. Although it's kind of a rainy I was 1668 01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:39,120 Speaker 1: gonna tell you it's a great week I had fun 1669 01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:41,120 Speaker 1: this weekend, but it was a rainy weekend here in DC. 1670 01:34:41,200 --> 01:34:42,559 Speaker 1: I want something that good weather. I want to get 1671 01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:44,719 Speaker 1: out there and get a little bit of a little 1672 01:34:44,720 --> 01:34:47,519 Speaker 1: bit of sun on my face. If you find yourself 1673 01:34:48,320 --> 01:34:50,360 Speaker 1: riding in open fields with a son on your face, 1674 01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:54,200 Speaker 1: do not be troubled, for you already dead. You're an 1675 01:34:54,200 --> 01:35:01,800 Speaker 1: elysium good things. TJ. Whoa TJ? This is? This is 1676 01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:06,840 Speaker 1: an opus? Here you go. Buck. Perhaps this is thinking 1677 01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:09,559 Speaker 1: too much into the future and maybe even counting my 1678 01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:13,160 Speaker 1: eggs before they hatch. But when Trump wins, see what 1679 01:35:13,200 --> 01:35:15,080 Speaker 1: I did there, does it behoove us to be a 1680 01:35:15,080 --> 01:35:17,320 Speaker 1: little more critical of him for his final terms since 1681 01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:21,400 Speaker 1: there's no reelection we will have to worry about. To 1682 01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:24,000 Speaker 1: me me, it feels like we're cheatering on the potential 1683 01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:26,240 Speaker 1: for a mass conservative revolution that could be led by 1684 01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:31,000 Speaker 1: honest and critical gen xers and millennials like you Shapiro, Crenshaw, Owens, Kirk, 1685 01:35:31,040 --> 01:35:35,120 Speaker 1: and list goes on. But there's a contingency of older 1686 01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:37,519 Speaker 1: school baby boom or conservatives. I won't name names. But 1687 01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:39,320 Speaker 1: you know who they are that can be a little 1688 01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:42,080 Speaker 1: too sycophantic toward the president. I'm sure their tone won't 1689 01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:45,280 Speaker 1: change for his final term. This intern will leave a 1690 01:35:45,320 --> 01:35:49,240 Speaker 1: sour taste them out. Those conservatives and potential conservatives looking 1691 01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:52,800 Speaker 1: forward to the next chapter of conservatism may even bleed 1692 01:35:52,800 --> 01:35:55,840 Speaker 1: in our next round of presidential candidates for twenty twenty four. 1693 01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:58,840 Speaker 1: Like Crenshaw, I think, for the sake of conservatism, our 1694 01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:03,240 Speaker 1: younger punnits and leaders have louder and more influential thoughts. Well, TJ. 1695 01:36:03,360 --> 01:36:05,480 Speaker 1: I like the idea of me being louder and more influential, 1696 01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:08,240 Speaker 1: so I can sign off for that, and I think 1697 01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:10,519 Speaker 1: you are. Look, there's there's always going to be some 1698 01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:16,880 Speaker 1: intergenerational tension within any political movement. But I'm somebody who 1699 01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:20,360 Speaker 1: tries to always take the perspective of respect your elders. 1700 01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:22,719 Speaker 1: They know stuff you don't know. They've been through stuff 1701 01:36:22,720 --> 01:36:24,639 Speaker 1: you don't know. I thought I was man. I thought 1702 01:36:24,640 --> 01:36:29,560 Speaker 1: it like twenty six, twenty seven, I was one smooth operator. 1703 01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:35,280 Speaker 1: Smooth operator that wasn't even close to the song, wasn't 1704 01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:38,519 Speaker 1: that was way off. But I thought I knew a 1705 01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:41,840 Speaker 1: lot of stuff, and thirty seven year old Buck thinks 1706 01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:46,760 Speaker 1: twenty seven year old Buck doesn't know his forehead from 1707 01:36:46,760 --> 01:36:50,040 Speaker 1: his behind. I mean it really, it's amazing, and so 1708 01:36:50,200 --> 01:36:53,559 Speaker 1: I try to remind myself that forty seven year old 1709 01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:55,680 Speaker 1: Buck maybe, like, wow, thirty seven year old Buck had 1710 01:36:55,720 --> 01:36:57,800 Speaker 1: a lot to learn. It's probably gonna be the case. 1711 01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:01,240 Speaker 1: Hopefully he'll still have a lot of hair though. Gina 1712 01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:05,600 Speaker 1: rites hey Bock. Current workout music request, Try within Temptation, 1713 01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:09,800 Speaker 1: high powered group, great forgetting your heart going. All right, 1714 01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:13,400 Speaker 1: all right, Gina, you know I do like this band 1715 01:37:13,479 --> 01:37:16,200 Speaker 1: for workout purposes, and you guys can all make fun. 1716 01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:19,080 Speaker 1: I like Skillet though I've never heard of them before, 1717 01:37:19,120 --> 01:37:22,000 Speaker 1: but they kind of popped into my Spotify feed, and 1718 01:37:22,120 --> 01:37:24,439 Speaker 1: some of their stuff is good. It kind of reminds 1719 01:37:24,439 --> 01:37:28,400 Speaker 1: me a little bit of a little bit like Evanescence. 1720 01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:30,840 Speaker 1: Remember they had that really big song like ten or 1721 01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:34,439 Speaker 1: fifteen years ago, sort of like that, which if you 1722 01:37:34,479 --> 01:37:36,000 Speaker 1: like that kind of stuff. I also listened to some 1723 01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:38,920 Speaker 1: very heavy bass hip hop music when I work out, 1724 01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:41,439 Speaker 1: so because I'm cool, you know, I know what the 1725 01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:48,280 Speaker 1: kids listen to. Hello, fellow youth people. Michael writes Buck, 1726 01:37:48,360 --> 01:37:50,360 Speaker 1: is it just mirror when Democrats lose most of their 1727 01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:53,360 Speaker 1: votes if people stop believing their constant lines and half truths. 1728 01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:55,640 Speaker 1: I'm not a Republican, but in my opinion, most a 1729 01:37:55,720 --> 01:37:57,880 Speaker 1: lie seemed to come from the left. Am I just 1730 01:37:58,040 --> 01:38:06,080 Speaker 1: unknowingly biased? Or is this true? Shields High Michael, I mean, 1731 01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:08,320 Speaker 1: I'd like to agree with you. I might be it 1732 01:38:08,439 --> 01:38:11,760 Speaker 1: might be a little bit simplistic for me to just say, yes, 1733 01:38:11,800 --> 01:38:13,840 Speaker 1: the lies all come from left. There are Republicans who 1734 01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:17,280 Speaker 1: lie to and you say you're not a Republican. I 1735 01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,200 Speaker 1: would say this here, here is a real distinction between 1736 01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:22,880 Speaker 1: left and right. I mean this really, This is not 1737 01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:26,000 Speaker 1: trying to be a pundit and get you know, people 1738 01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:28,000 Speaker 1: all riled up or anything like that. This is this 1739 01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:30,040 Speaker 1: is real. I'd like to think everything on the show 1740 01:38:30,080 --> 01:38:35,639 Speaker 1: is real, but this is real real. The left often 1741 01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:40,720 Speaker 1: has to lie about what they really want and what 1742 01:38:40,920 --> 01:38:44,559 Speaker 1: their end goal is in order to get enough people 1743 01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:47,160 Speaker 1: to go along that they have the power to do 1744 01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:50,200 Speaker 1: what they want to do. So you have people on 1745 01:38:50,240 --> 01:38:53,759 Speaker 1: the left who will pretend, for example, that they don't 1746 01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:58,880 Speaker 1: really want government control of healthcare socialized medicine, when they 1747 01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:02,360 Speaker 1: very much do, but they they're not. You know, they 1748 01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:07,680 Speaker 1: will dissemble, They will, they will hide their true intentions 1749 01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:11,600 Speaker 1: from the American people. So that because the twenty or 1750 01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:15,080 Speaker 1: thirty percent of America that is true left on issues, 1751 01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:18,639 Speaker 1: it's really more like fifteen to twenty percent. But they 1752 01:39:18,760 --> 01:39:23,720 Speaker 1: know when because because they share the same ideology with 1753 01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:26,440 Speaker 1: the head of the Democratic Party, now that is very progressive. 1754 01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:29,719 Speaker 1: They know what they're really trying to achieve, but they're 1755 01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:35,240 Speaker 1: happy to be dishonest about it along the way. They're 1756 01:39:35,240 --> 01:39:39,639 Speaker 1: happy to tell people untruths as long as it gets them. 1757 01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:42,360 Speaker 1: So that's whereas Republicans I find tend to say, look, 1758 01:39:42,360 --> 01:39:45,639 Speaker 1: we want we want this. We know it's not perfect, 1759 01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:47,280 Speaker 1: we know there's some trade offs, but this is a 1760 01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:51,320 Speaker 1: thing we want. There's greater honesty about what the Republican 1761 01:39:51,400 --> 01:39:55,200 Speaker 1: Party is trying to achieve than with the Democratic I mean, 1762 01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:57,080 Speaker 1: the open board is another one. I mean, Democrats want 1763 01:39:57,080 --> 01:39:59,600 Speaker 1: open boarders, they just won't say it. They do not 1764 01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:02,040 Speaker 1: want the enforcement of immigration law. They do not believe 1765 01:40:02,040 --> 01:40:04,240 Speaker 1: that immigration law should be enforced in a way that 1766 01:40:07,240 --> 01:40:11,000 Speaker 1: that makes life more difficult or you know, punishes people 1767 01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:14,200 Speaker 1: that break immigration law. So but they won't say that. 1768 01:40:14,360 --> 01:40:17,160 Speaker 1: So that is that is a difference between Democrats and 1769 01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:20,320 Speaker 1: Republicans and their lies and half truths on the left. 1770 01:40:20,360 --> 01:40:23,600 Speaker 1: I think are are an important They're a feature, not 1771 01:40:23,680 --> 01:40:27,240 Speaker 1: a bug. Rogers, Okay, Buck, I've really enjoyed your pushing 1772 01:40:27,280 --> 01:40:29,040 Speaker 1: the Russia probe and keeping us aware of all the 1773 01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:32,120 Speaker 1: updates switching gears to Israel. Any good reads on the 1774 01:40:32,160 --> 01:40:35,800 Speaker 1: conflict in history between Palestine and Israel. Thanks Man, Roger. 1775 01:40:35,840 --> 01:40:37,479 Speaker 1: I'm glad you're enjoying the show, and I hope you 1776 01:40:37,920 --> 01:40:42,000 Speaker 1: particularly enjoyed the conversations we had today about what's going 1777 01:40:42,040 --> 01:40:46,160 Speaker 1: on in Israel. I do not have a great reading 1778 01:40:46,200 --> 01:40:50,720 Speaker 1: list for Israeli Palestinian stuff. I really don't. I mean, 1779 01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:54,160 Speaker 1: I know some of the big names, you know, Tom 1780 01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:58,120 Speaker 1: Segev and obviously Thomas Freedman with from Beyrout to Jerusalem, 1781 01:40:58,120 --> 01:41:00,760 Speaker 1: and you know, I'm familiar with with some of the 1782 01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:04,519 Speaker 1: very well known authors on the subject. But you know, 1783 01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:08,000 Speaker 1: Israeli Palestinian stuff is there's so much on it, and 1784 01:41:08,040 --> 01:41:10,679 Speaker 1: there's so many people that have such deep expertise that 1785 01:41:10,960 --> 01:41:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, you really have to roll up your sleeves 1786 01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:14,120 Speaker 1: and get into it to know what the heck is 1787 01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:17,600 Speaker 1: going on. It's not a subject where you it's not 1788 01:41:17,640 --> 01:41:20,559 Speaker 1: a subject matter or rather, it's not a subject where 1789 01:41:20,560 --> 01:41:24,120 Speaker 1: you can be a dilettante and not look like one 1790 01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:26,080 Speaker 1: when you're trying to analyze it. I mean, you really 1791 01:41:26,080 --> 01:41:27,640 Speaker 1: have to know where you are on the issue, be 1792 01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:31,320 Speaker 1: honest about that, because there's so many people who all 1793 01:41:31,360 --> 01:41:33,720 Speaker 1: they do is Israeli Palestinian issues. I mean, there's so 1794 01:41:33,720 --> 01:41:37,040 Speaker 1: many people that this is the core of their expertise. 1795 01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:41,559 Speaker 1: So I am not an Israeli Palestinian issue, issue matter, 1796 01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:44,639 Speaker 1: subject matter expert. And so that's my way of saying, 1797 01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:46,479 Speaker 1: I don't have any great books for you that jump 1798 01:41:46,600 --> 01:41:50,040 Speaker 1: out of that come to mind. But maybe I can 1799 01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:53,559 Speaker 1: ask my friend David, who is this is the issue 1800 01:41:53,600 --> 01:41:55,639 Speaker 1: that he follows more than anything else, and I can 1801 01:41:55,680 --> 01:42:00,880 Speaker 1: post on Facebook a list of them. Wayne writes, Dude, 1802 01:42:00,920 --> 01:42:05,439 Speaker 1: your Bernie impression is getting much better. Well, Dwayne, will 1803 01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:07,679 Speaker 1: I will take the compliment. Well, I think my Bernie 1804 01:42:07,720 --> 01:42:10,559 Speaker 1: impression has always been fantastic. Book. The may think he 1805 01:42:10,600 --> 01:42:12,960 Speaker 1: gets it right, he knows, he knows that it's about 1806 01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:17,000 Speaker 1: millionaires and billionaires and how care for everyone a right, 1807 01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:19,400 Speaker 1: not a privilege, not just for the rich, the super rich, 1808 01:42:19,479 --> 01:42:25,599 Speaker 1: the fat cats. But yeah, that Bernie's getting better, for sure, definitely. 1809 01:42:25,640 --> 01:42:28,800 Speaker 1: I'm a little sad that Betto like he's not just 1810 01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:33,639 Speaker 1: like doing better in the polls, because I just thought 1811 01:42:33,680 --> 01:42:37,120 Speaker 1: that we'd be talking about Betto for such a long time. 1812 01:42:37,680 --> 01:42:41,200 Speaker 1: It turns out Betto is he's flamed out. As I've said, 1813 01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:44,479 Speaker 1: Mayor Pete. Mayor Pete came along and stole Bettos tuna 1814 01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:49,599 Speaker 1: fish sandwich. It's all gone now. Stole a sandwich right 1815 01:42:49,640 --> 01:42:52,439 Speaker 1: from in front of him. And I remember I used 1816 01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:56,040 Speaker 1: to like eat Tune a sandwich and chocolate milk. I 1817 01:42:56,120 --> 01:42:58,439 Speaker 1: used to drink so much chocolate milk. The stuff's incredible. 1818 01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:02,439 Speaker 1: Now apparently you know calories and sugar, it's not good 1819 01:43:02,479 --> 01:43:05,040 Speaker 1: for you. Chris writes Buck, I'm the only person who 1820 01:43:05,040 --> 01:43:08,519 Speaker 1: remembers Judge Knapp, or rather, am I the only person 1821 01:43:08,520 --> 01:43:11,799 Speaker 1: who remembers Judge. I'm claiming British intel involvement and getting 1822 01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:15,000 Speaker 1: suspended from Fox at the beginning of this sad saga. 1823 01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:19,840 Speaker 1: Now Nap is trashing the Orange Adonis, losing all credibility 1824 01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:22,639 Speaker 1: he ever had with me, like a watered down George 1825 01:43:22,640 --> 01:43:25,679 Speaker 1: will funny how the MSM trash Nap then but can't 1826 01:43:25,720 --> 01:43:32,960 Speaker 1: remember that today. Chris, I have always enjoyed my personal 1827 01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:36,360 Speaker 1: interactions with Judgment Politano. He has always been a gentleman 1828 01:43:36,400 --> 01:43:40,040 Speaker 1: when we've talked. I do not understand what he is 1829 01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:42,479 Speaker 1: trying to accomplish with a lot of his analysis these days. 1830 01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:46,160 Speaker 1: I think that he is I think he's way off, 1831 01:43:46,360 --> 01:43:48,719 Speaker 1: and I think he's not doing himself any favors. So 1832 01:43:50,400 --> 01:43:52,000 Speaker 1: you know, I would not say that. Judge Nap and 1833 01:43:52,040 --> 01:43:54,040 Speaker 1: I are friends, so he doesn't fall into the friend 1834 01:43:54,160 --> 01:43:56,599 Speaker 1: category where I won't say anything negative about him. But 1835 01:43:56,640 --> 01:43:58,400 Speaker 1: he is a good He's always been a good guy 1836 01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:01,360 Speaker 1: to me. I have no complaints about him. I just 1837 01:44:01,439 --> 01:44:03,680 Speaker 1: think his analysis is way off. I just think he's 1838 01:44:03,720 --> 01:44:05,320 Speaker 1: wrong on this stuff and has been wrong a lot. 1839 01:44:05,840 --> 01:44:07,800 Speaker 1: Every time I see him on Fox talking about something, 1840 01:44:07,880 --> 01:44:10,160 Speaker 1: Muller proble lad to go. That's not right, that's not true. 1841 01:44:10,920 --> 01:44:14,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on there because because because 1842 01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:18,040 Speaker 1: I like the guy, but I think he's just you know, 1843 01:44:18,160 --> 01:44:21,719 Speaker 1: I think he's way off.
